Traveler reviews
Alvaro Lopez
★★★★★6 months agoBeautiful building that gives you the perspective of the whole city. It is worth it. And if you want to have a romantic diner just go up to the restaurant and have a spectacular view while you eating. Ohh by the way you don’t have to pay to get into the viewing area if you are going to the restaurant. 😉

★★★★★6 months agoCame during sunset hours, it was beautiful watching the orange skyline change minute after minute. The observation deck itself is on the 49th floor and is definitely a great vantage point to observe the city. If you’re not sure what you’re looking at there’ll be LED touch screens that’ll let you know what’s around. There’s multiple cultural experiences up top as well such as traditional gown gallery, traditional stamps and even good photo ops with the display they’ve got. It was a little bit busy when we went but the wait was very reasonable, the elevators moved extremely quickly here so it didn’t take long for us to get up top/down. Tickets were 240k for each person
