Sydney Tower - one of the tallest buildings in the world: the highest in Sydney and the second tallest in Australia, and in the southern hemisphere. Height built in 1975-1981 gg. Tower - 305 meters. Inside is the main viewing platform of the city, and it is 50 meters higher than the observation deck of the highest skyscraper in the Southern Hemisphere Sky Tower in New Zealand Auckland. Climb it can be one of the three elevators (40 seconds!) Or stairs, breaking the 1504 level. But after such an ascent can be from a height of 260 meters to admire not only the views of Sydney, but also to see on the horizon the Blue Mountains.

Here is a small gift shop and display, which displays information about the state of towers, wind speed and atmospheric pressure. 18 meters above the open area is a glass-bottom Skywalk platform, which you can visit on a special tour. A viewing platform is located at a restaurant for 220 people. This is one of the most popular venues in Sydney - each year it is visited by more than 185 thousand people, a large part of whom are tourists.

During the Christmas and New Year holidays tower illuminated with colored lights, and sometimes from the top of launching fireworks.
