Petřín Tower : info and guided tour

About Petřín Tower

Petřín Tower is an iconic viewpoint in Prague, standing on Petřín Hill in the Malá Strana district. Located in the Petřínské sady gardens, it attracts visitors for its metal silhouette and especially for the views it offers over the Czech capital and its red rooftops.

Built in the late 19th century, it is clearly inspired by the Eiffel Tower, even though its dimensions are much smaller. Its open steel structure gives it a light, recognizable appearance that contrasts with the wooded landscape of the hill. It has become one of Prague’s best-known landmarks.

The monument also appeals as a city walk destination. As you climb toward the viewing platform, you gradually discover the city, the river and the monuments of the historic center. Petřín Tower is appreciated both for its architectural interest and for the panoramic experience it offers above Prague.
