Melbourne Observation Deck

Get a whole new view of Melbourne when you scale the heights of the city's tallest office building - the Rialto Towers. The impressive reinforced concrete structure, with its unique glass façade, is the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. You'll feel the impact of the Rialto’s staggering height, when you head up to level 55 of the 253-metre monument.

There are 1254 stairs to get to the top, or spend 40 seconds in a lift to reach the Observation Deck. A spectacular 360-degree view of Melbourne awaits, stretching 60km to the horizon.

For those afraid of heights, the journey is well worth the daunting ascent. And for those who dare brave the strong winds, there are even outdoor viewing areas for a true bird's eye view of Melbourne.
