Description
Imagine our delight when walking into our Airbnb rental in Auckland New Zealand to find that this was the view of the Auckland Sky Tower from the kitchen window! Not only was it totally unobstructed but I did not have to stand out on the street in the wind or chill to take photos at night! And there were windows in the apartment you could actually open so I could set up my camera and take periodic photos as dusk deepened and night settled in, all while relaxing in comfort. The Sky Tower is an observation and telecommunications tower located in the Auckland Central Business District (CBD). It is 328 metres (1076 ft) tall, as measured from ground level to the top of the mast, making it the tallest man-made structure in the Southern Hemisphere and the 25th tallest tower in the world. It has become an iconic landmark in Auckland's skyline due to its height and unique design. For adventure seekers, the tower also features the 'SkyJump', a 192-metre (630 ft) jump from the observation deck, during which a jumper can reach up to 85 km/h (53 mph). The jump is guide-cable-controlled to prevent jumpers from colliding with the tower in case of wind gusts. Climbs into the antenna mast portion (300 tm or 980 ft heights) are also possible for tour groups, as is a walk around the exterior.
