Standing tall with Sky Tower #traveloguenz

Auckland gye aur sky tower nahi dekha to kuch nahi dekha

The major attraction of Auckland city  is Sky Tower .

Standing tall at 328 meters -taller than Eiffel tower of Paris , the Sky Tower of Auckland  is  an icon of Auckland’s sky line for more than 20 years.  It gives 360 degree view of Auckland up to 80km in all directions .

I got  a ticket for 32 dollars and reached to the top of the building in the evening around 4 pm. I had not expected  it  to be so amazing . The view from the top was just mesmerizing -something that my eyes didn’t  want to even blink it away .

Read my wonderful experience of a beautiful island

The sky tower has a circular platform on the top covered with glass from where you can have full view of the whole Auckland . Watching the tallest buildings appearing  so small , watching the famous harbour bridge , the far away islands , the scenic view of the sea and the ferries , from such a great height makes the Sky Tower experience very exciting .skytower

Apart from glass boundaries , there are glass floors also at few parts where I really had to gather lot of courage to step on and watch the road 328 metres down . That makes around 1076 feet . Quite high ! No ?

Sunset view from the top

Well as time passed ,the sun started turning red and it was a beautiful experience watching sunset in Auckland from one of the tallest monuments . Along with the sunset , the city got lightened up which made the view even more majestic .

Activities at Sky Tower, Auckland :

The sky tower offers  adventure activities like sky jump and sky walk also . For  people living with the mantra ‘life is an adventure ‘ these prove to be very thrilling . My heart was thumping high  watching people do those thrills but I couldn’t dare myself . Well may be next time .

There is a lot other what you can do . Thers is a big casino where you can try your luck and also you can enjoy  superb dining  .

It was the first time that I got a chance to visit a casino . The environment there was totally new to me -even more advanced than what I have seen in some movies . It was a whole new world for me . All could be seen drinking ,  enjoying with the loud music  & playing with their dollars.

Coming out of the tower I also saw a   Sky Tower souvenir shop also where you can buy gifts for your loved ones .

Visiting Sky Tower in Auckland was an unforgettable experience for me . I feel lucky to have visited the   25th tallest tower of  the world ,The Sky Tower. Selfie to banti hai !
