RE: Travel Tip: Petrin Lookout Tower, the Prague brother of the Eiffel Tower
@czechglobalhosts, thanks for bringing this to the fore, i still had some residue knowledge of the tower when i did some study along that line last year.
"Petřín Lookout Tower, one of the most prominent landmarks of Prague, was built as part of the Jubilee Exhibition in 1891 as a loose copy inspired by the Eiffel Tower (at a ratio of 1:5). It is 63.5 metres high, and 299 steps lead to its peak, which is at the same altitude as the real Eiffel Tower. The view from its top overlooks not only the whole city, but on a clear day you can see nearly all of Bohemia".
