Petrin lookout tower (1891) - Prague

myminifactory

The Petřín Lookout Tower stands out as one of Prague's most iconic landmarks, constructed during the Jubilee Exhibition in 1891 as a striking homage to the Eiffel Tower - scaled down to 1:5 for a more intimate feel. At an impressive 63.5 meters tall, its peak can be reached via 299 steps, offering breathtaking views that mirror those of the real Eiffel Tower's summit. On a clear day, you'll enjoy unobstructed vistas of nearly all Bohemia from this lofty vantage point. A model constructed on a 1:500 scale perfectly captures the tower's essence. Notably, its original design featured a smaller tip; however, it has undergone modifications to accommodate larger telecommunication antennas at the current pinnacle.
