Parisian Flair in Prague

By Linda Tancs

One of the most prominent landmarks in Prague, Czech Republic, Petřín Tower is an Eiffel Tower-inspired iron structure built as part of the Jubilee Exhibition in 1891. Around 190 feet high, it has 299 steps leading to its peak, which is the same altitude as the real Eiffel Tower. Enjoy the sweeping city views and, on a clear day, a wider view of the historical region of Bohemia.
