The Sky Tower in Auckland City, New Zealand is a popular tourist attraction and when reaching the observation deck, the aerial view of the downtown area of Auckland and Waitemata Harbour is breathtaking. The tall skyscrapers look miniature from the top of the Sky Tower which stands at a height of 1,076 feet, the tallest free-standing structure throughout the Southern Hemisphere.

While on the observation decks of the Sky Tower, one can see for approximately 80 kilometers in every direction. For a romantic dinner and an aerial view of the night illumination of Auckland, dine at the revolving restaurant. To reach the restaurant or observation decks, visitors must travel up the glass-fronted elevators, this being an experience in itself.

Thousands of tourists come to the downtown core of Auckland just to visit the Sky Tower as it is a famous landmark in New Zealand. There are two observation decks atop the Sky Tower which the public can explore with a skyjump for those who want the added adrenaline rush of feeling like they are free falling off this famous icon.
