Greatest observation towers !

I really like when a city does have a tall and good looking observation tower, it adds something to the skyline also. So here are my favourites! What are yours?

Space needle - Seattle




CN tower - Toronto



Canton tower - Guangzhou



Pearl oriental tower - Shanghai

From the few observation towers I've been in, here are my favorite:
  1. Eiffel Tower (no explanation needed)
  2. CN Tower (sheer magnitude, glass floor, Lake Ontario views)
  3. Space Needle (gorgeous design, iconic status, view of Mt. Rainer/Puget Sound)
  4. Gateway Arch (modern design, elevator system, iconic status)
  5. Reunion Tower (modern GeO-Deck, light shows, views of city lights, 560 by Wolfgang Puck)
  6. Stratosphere (wasn't really all that exciting)
  7. Tower of the Americas (rather boring)
