Fodor's Expert Review Calgary Tower
Downtown Calgary
Observatory
The views from this 191-meter (626-foot) scepter-shaped edifice take in the city's layout, the surrounding plains, and the face of the Rockies rising 80 km (50 miles) to the west. A "torch" that crowns the tower is lighted for special events and occasions. The tower top also holds the revolving Sky 360 Restaurant and Lounge, which serves dinner nightly and weekend brunch; Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse; and a gift shop.
