Introduction
A one-fifth-scale copy of Paris's Eiffel Tower, Prague's Petrín Tower was constructed out of recycled railway track for the 1891 Prague Exhibition. Although it's not a tall building at all, it sits on top of a hill overlooking the city, so the views are still magnificent.To get to the tower, take the funicular uphill.

Following the river, the old town and Charles Bridge come into view.  |

The TV Tower further back has great views of the castle, but is quite far from the old town to give the same impact.  |

The other side is a more modest residential quarter, albeit still very green and serene.  |
