Czech Republic Petřín Lookout Tower, Prague
The "Petřín Lookout Tower" is like the pragueish version of the famous Parisian Eiffel Tower. It is very similar but not that large.
Nevertheless, the tower is one of the highest buildings in the city of Prague and gives you the perfect possibility for a panoramic view over the river, the bridges, and the whole old town.

Photography Tips
The tower itself has two observation platforms.
I took the picture above from the second, the higher, one.
The platforms are surrounded by glass but there are windows that can be opened so don't worry you don't have to shoot through glass.
