Ostankino Television Tower

Ostankino Television Tower is the second tallest free standing structure in the world, outdone only by the CNTower in Toronto, Canada. The Ostankino Tower is 539 meters (1, 772 feet) tall and features a restaurant and an observation deck: in fair weather one can see almost all of Moscow from here. In 2000 the tower experienced a fierce fire but has been promptly reconstructed.

It takes only 58 seconds to get to the observation deck of Ostankino TV Tower at the height of 337 meters. You can hardly find a better place to see all Moscow sights and gardens. It doesn't matter what company you will come with, great view from the Tower will never let anybody stay indifferent.
