Historical context
Understand the role of the Czech Tourist Club
Learn how the group pushed for the tower's construction.
Overview
The Petřín Tower, situated in Petřínské sady, serves as a prominent reminder of the 1891 Jubilee Exhibition. Standing 58.70 meters tall, this steel structure was designed as a 1:5 scale homage to the Eiffel Tower, reflecting the architectural interests of the time. The tower offers an observation deck that provides extensive views of Prague and, on clear days, much of the surrounding Bohemian countryside. Below the main structure, the basement hosts a permanent exhibition that explains the history of the hill and the role of the Czech Tourist Club in bringing the tower to life. Visitors can climb 299 steps to reach the top. For those requiring assistance, a partial elevator service is available to the 20-meter platform. The area is also famous for the tradition of kissing under cherry trees on May 1st, adding a layer of romantic folklore to this site.
