Calgary Tower

 
The place from which to set out on a tour of the relatively small inner city of Calgary is the Calgary Tower on 9th Ave./Center Street. At the top of the Calgary Tower is a viewing platform and revolving restaurant. Being 191 m (627 ft) high it is the city's landmark and was, until 1985, its tallest building. In 1988 a giant torch on the tower bore witness to the spirit of the Olympics.

From the top there are views out over the city and beyond to the mountains. It is particularly beautiful at sunset or in the evening.
