San Antonio is home to an impressive structure famously known as the Tower of the Americas. With an impressive height of 750 feet, this landmark is among the nation's highest observation towers. Originally built in 1968 for the World's Fair, the tower has come to represent the city's colorful culture and history.


The tower's sleek, modernistic appearance allows it to blend in with its natural surroundings. The tower has a series of alluring arches at its base that lead into a large lobby, and its upper half is made up of hexagonal floors that look out over the city to offer a panoramic view of the skyline.


The observation deck atop the Tower of the Americas, which stands 550 feet in the air, is one of the building's most remarkable features. You can travel the elevator to the observation deck at the tower's peak, where you will be treated to breathtaking vistas over San Antonio and the surrounding area. There is a rotating restaurant on the observation deck that serves scrumptious food alongside amazing views.
