Petrin Lookout Tower
The Petřín Tower is a steel lookout tower built in 1891, inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It stands on Petřín hill and is one of the most recognisable viewpoints in Prague.
The tower is about 63.5 metres tall, and thanks to its hilltop position it offers views comparable to much taller structures. Stairs and a lift lead to the top.
From the observation deck a panorama of Prague unfolds, taking in Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and the Old Town, among others.
Satori Cities
On a Satori Cities walk, Petrin Lookout Tower is not treated as a box to tick. It is a place to notice distance, horizon, and the city seen without haste, to slow the body down, and to receive the historical context only after perception has done its work.
