In Brighton on the south coast of England,
you can experience a striking new attraction:
the world’s tallest moving observation tower, the
British Airways i360. The circular glass gondola
glides up and down a 162 m steel column. With a
diameter of only 4 m, the column is the most
slender skyscraper in the world. A ride to the skies,
offers a 42 km view on clear days, and takes 10
minutes. The tower was designed by the architects
behind the huge London Eye ferris wheel.
