| Petřín Park is perched on top of Petřín hill, to
the west of New Town. The hill can be climbed by foot, by car, or by
funicular which is a steeply inclined railway similar to a cable car.
Several paths criss-cross the hillside and are used by visitors and
local residents to enjoy the scenery. Visitors enjoy climbing to the
top of Rozhledna, The Lookout Tower, which is a one-fifth scale copy
of the Eiffel Tower that was built in 1891. The Lookout Tower is open
the the public from Monday through Friday.
