What's the highest you've ever been above ground level?
(it's probably a tower or tall building) |
SkyPod, CN Tower, Toronto (447m)
|
Main Tower, Frankfurt, Germany (200m)
|
Tour Montparnasse, Paris (200m)
|
SkyPod, CN Tower, Toronto (447m)
|
350.2m, Viewing platform on The Stratosphere, Las Vegas
|
Observation deck, Burj Khalifa (556m)
|
Central Plaza of Hong Kong, the structure is 374m but I think the top floor is only 350m or so.
|
Nothing remarkable enough to look up. Probably when I worked on the 12th floor of Telstar house near Paddington (until the fire).
|
276m, Eiffel Tower
|
SkyPod, CN Tower, Toronto (447m)
|
Also 276 m, Eiffel Tower
|
420m, external observation deck on the South Tower of original World Trade Centre NYC in 1991
|
Skywalk, Grand Canyon. Arguably around 1100m. Or 250m, depending on how close you're measuring the ground level.
|
Another vote for SkyPod, CN Tower, Toronto (447m). Stood at the bottom of the Burj Khalifa, and got told off by security, but the price tag didn't seem worth it at the time - a decision I'm now slightly regretting!
|
Roof of the old World Trade Center, which I’ve got here at 415m - 3m above the observation deck of the Sears Tower in Chicago (now the Willis Tower) - a taller building, but with an enclosed viewing deck at 412m.
|
I think 450m at the Tokyo Skytree.
|
CN tower Toronto
|
447m, Skypod, CN tower.
|
Also 276m, Eiffel Tower
|
Observation Deck of Willis Tower, Chicago (what used to be called the Sears Tower) 412 metres
|
Eiffel Tower
|
The Empire State Building
|
415m, same as Philip, World Trade Center, New York, 1999.
|
Etihad Towers, Abu Dhabi (300m)
|
SkyPod, CN Tower, Toronto (447m)
(thanks for doing the hard research work for me!) |
Sears tower, as per above aparantly 412 metres
|
Shanghai Tower last year. There is something amazing about being so high with big clear windows and time to look around.
|
474m, Shanghai World Financial Center (the Shanghai Tower observation deck wasn't completed when I was there).
|
Observation deck at the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower, Chicago - 412m
|
Sears Tower - Chicago - 412m
|
CN Tower, Toronto
|
CN Tower, 447m, snap
|
On the rooftop observation deck of the World Trade Centre, NY City. Or the Eureka Tower, Melbourne in Aus.
|
Empire State Building 102nd floor. 381 metres it says here.
|
Windows on the World restaurant on the 106th floor of the original WTC in NY - 400m
|
somewhere up the Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumper, topping out at 451.9m apparently, but my legs gave way far below that.
|
Tokyo Skytree - upper observation deck is 450m above ground
|
Sagrada Familia church Barcelona. I still have nightmares about the open walkway between two of the towers, which I crossed on hands and knees because I was so dizzy I couldn't stand up.
|
I've been to the CN Tower, but only to the main observation deck, so I guess that makes mine the Willis Tower in Chicago at 412m. Incidentally there are no bigger hills, so that is also the highest point above sea level in Illinois.
|
Like DG, it's the SkyPod in Toronto (my hometown) at 447m.
|
CN Tower
|
Original World Trade Center (Twin Towers), Manhattan 417m
|
Also the viewing Deck on the Stratosphere Las Vegas
|
417 m - World Trade Center in New York (in July 2001...)
|
276m, Eiffel Tower
|
CN Tower Toronto
|
I've been to a business meeting in the Shard, but it was only about half way up, so either the Walkie Talkie (160m) or the (then) Post Office Tower (177m) - the latter is taller but the observation deck was not at the very top.
|
351 m. Top Pearl platform in the Pearl Tower in Shanghai, not long after it was built in the 1990s. Beautiful building.
|
SkyPod, CN Tower, Toronto (447m
|
I've been up the Burj Khalifa, but when I was there the previous observation deck "only" went up to 452m...
|
Another vote for NY Old World Trade Centre, one of the twin towers, 415m
|
I think it's the Eiffel Tower.
|
Another CN Tower Toronto

|
Empire State Building, New York - observation deck at 381m (or 1,250 feet).
|
I was with DG in the CN Tower.
|
The 86th Floor observation deck of the Empire State building (320m) just pips the one in the John Hancock Centre in Chicago (310m).
|
450m, Skyline Queenstown NZ. But I think that is cheating, becuase you aren;t really ever that high above the ground, so 86th Floor observation deck of the Empire State building (320m)
|
Ditto: SkyPod, CN Tower, Toronto (447m)
|
CNN Tower 421 metres
|
415 metres, World Trade Centre rooftop observation deck, New York, 1979.
|
Empire State Building, now at 381m but I suspect the viewing platform was a bit lower when I visited in the 90's.
|
202m
Tokyo municipal government building. |
450m in the Tokyo Skytree back in 2016. The weather was awful and we couldn't see anything from the top.
|

|
World Trade Centre - New York in 1993.

|
Kaknäs Tower in Stockholm. 155 m.
|
Eiffel tower, surprisingly. I figured some other buildings I'd been up would've been higher.
|
+1 for Eiffel Tower, 276m
|
Shanghai World Trade Centre Observation deck - 474m
(Like others I've been too the Burj Khalifa, and went up as far as the 'world's tallest restaurant' (442m) for cream tea, which is better value for money but not very useful for this post...) |
Viewing platform, Stratosphere, Las Vegas. About 270m?
|
Observation deck of the Old World Trade Centre South Tower which I make 417m (several other ideas on that above)
|
Sears Tower (as it was then) - 413m
or World Trade Center (which other have listed at 415m) Have been up the CN Tower but not sure if I went beyond 346m |
Main Tower in Frankfurt on my last trip abroad in 2019 - 200m. I thought I might be the only one but there's at least one other on here
|
It would definitely be the World Trade Center in 2000, but I can't remember which tower, so it's either 400m or 420m.
|
SkyPod, CN Tower, Toronto (447m)
|
412m - another one for the Sears (now Willis) tower.

|
Another for the Sears Tower in Chicago
|
Eiffel Tower for me, so 276 metres.
|
450m, the upper observation deck on the Tokyo Skytree.
|
I would have guessed the TV Tower in Berlin but I've learnt from this post that the answer is the Shard.
|
