Calgary Tower: Walking in the city, this towering landmark makes it hard not to notice it

I am Ocean View Listening to the Waves tour + Global Traveler, please follow me! (Published in 1761st original travel photo in 1015 cities across 57 countries/regions on 5 continents) Every city always has a landmark that is hard to ignore. Walking in Calgary, you can see a towering building everywhere, making it hard not to notice it. It is the Calgary Tower. This tower, built in 1968, is located in the city center (downtown) next to the VIA station, situated on Palliser Square at the intersection of 9 Ave SE and Centre St. The first floor of the Calgary Tower is the ticket office and gift shop. After purchasing a ticket, you can take the high-speed elevator to the top of the tower in 62 seconds. The spherical top of the tower is divided into three levels, with a bar on the top floor, and the observation deck and revolving restaurant on the two lower levels. The observation deck offers a panoramic view of the entire city of Calgary, with a wide-open view in all directions. One side is made of transparent glass and extends outward, allowing you to look down and see the bustling streets and vehicles below. Next to the Calgary Tower is Chinatown, which you can visit along the way. Address: 101 9 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T2P 1J9
