the Petron Tower was also one of my very
0:02
favorite parts of this trip it was built
0:04
in the late 1800s inspired by the Eiffel
0:07
Tower and Paris and it's p on top of of
0:09
a large Hill which is sort of a large
0:11
Hill opposite the castle and you reach
0:13
it as I've already mentioned by this
0:14
long bicular Railway it can have very
0:17
long cues to join the railway and if you
0:20
don't want to wait then you can walk up
0:21
through the park but it's quite a long
0:23
way up apparently Hitler when he came to
0:25
prag after the occupation Ed stayed in
0:27
the castle had wanted the tower pull
0:29
down as he felt it RW the view from the
0:31
castle but locals sensibly resisted and
0:34
eventually this this was closed in 1979
0:37
because was in a state of disrepair and
0:39
it was reopened about 15 years later
0:41
after a lot of restoration I absolutely
0:42
loved it it's just great I mean it's I
0:45
think it's about half the size of the AL
0:46
Tower or so maybe a little bit less and
0:49
you climb up a series of stairs to the
0:51
first level which is about 10 and
0:53
something stairs and then you could
0:56
climb up over another 100 to the top so
0:58
you actually do need to have quite a
0:59
good head for Heights because you're
1:01
kind of walking up these stairs and
1:03
they're relatively open not completely
1:04
open but they're kind of relatively open
1:06
but the view from the first level which
1:07
you went to they have the sort of wooden
1:10
um balcony I suppose you'd call it and
1:13
and you can go all the way around you
1:14
just see for Mars and Mars and M take
1:16
the most beautiful pictures it's really
1:18
just it's lovely I really love the ti I
1:20
thought it was just amazing and just
1:22
stunning stunning views and then if you
1:25
come down the tower next to the tower
1:26
just near the tower is another exhibit
1:28
which dates back from about the same are
1:30
sort of you know the late 1800s um and
1:32
it's a mirror maze and then a room of
1:35
those mirrors that distort your image
1:36
which which kids absolutely loved and
1:38
that was quite interesting as well so
1:41
those are my tips for visiting Prague I
1:42
