Calgary Tower
About
Standing 191 meters (626 feet) over the downtown core, the Calgary Tower was constructed in 1968 to celebrate Canada’s centennial and revitalize the city center. It offers panoramic, 360-degree views of the sprawling city, the rolling foothills, and the spectacular peaks of the Rocky Mountains on the western horizon. It features a thrilling, suspended glass-floor platform and a revolving restaurant at the summit.
