Petrín Tower
A one-third-scale copy of Paris's Eiffel Tower, Petrín Tower was constructed out of recycled railway track for the
1891 Prague Exhibition. It functioned as the city's primary telecommunications tower until the space-age Zizkovská vez (tower) opened across town. Those who climb the 59m (194 ft.) to the top are treated to striking views, particularly at night.
