Mirador de la Torre Latinoamericana, Mexico City

The observation deck of the Torre Latinoamericana (the Latin American Tower), offers a magnificent aerial view of the city, without having to fly! Constructed in 1957, it was one of the tallest buildings on the (Latin) American continent and of course, in Mexico City for decades. The observation deck is on the 44th floor and there are two viewing options to choose from: looking out of the windows in the restaurant, or going directly up to the outer balcony where there are nine telescopes offering different viewing angles. Admission costs 30 pesos for children, 35 for adults, and two pesos for a token to use the telescopes.
