The 10 Best Observation Decks & Towers in Austria, Austria
As home to majestic mountains, opulent palaces, and high culture, Austria's attractions are classically sumptuous and enduring. But beyond the waltzes, the strudels, the alpine summits, and Habsburg architecture, its modern cities are proof of just how easily Austria combines the contemporary with the historic.

We really enjoyed the clock tower and surroundings on a sunny day. We have a small toddler; we took the lift to the top. Great view, green, quite surroundings. The coffee shop next to the clock tower is packed, many people enjoying their wine and beer. Highly recommended.

A very nice view over Corinthia, especially during sunset. You can slight down from the top, but ready, it’s quite quick

A little known secret. But it’s a must go. Beautiful view and breathtaking. The sky ridge and the ice palace shouldn’t be missed. It can be a bit scary for the faint hearted. The top is a must see. The glacier is not visible from the base station.

Experience a bird's eye view of Hallstatt! The new viewing platform extends 12 metres from the mountainside and 360 meters above the ground.

There would be no reason to go to Hallstatt & not take the funicular up the mountain, unless of course, you are in shape to walk up. We are not, so we rode the funicular to the viewing platform joining the small crowd waiting patiently for their turn to snap perfect Instagram shots & gaze out at the spectacular views of the Hallstätter See & the breathtaking backdrop of still-snow-covered-in-May mountains. The wonder of nature’s majesty is evident in this peaceful place, the smooth as glass See (Lake), the endless mountains that fringe the view in every direction & fast running streams creating the perfect relaxation playlist. The price of your ticket is two-way, stop at the Information Center to get a discount coupon. Parking is the most challenging aspect of visiting Hallstatt, there is ZERO street parking, there are designated lots showing the number of open spaces available, but the day we visited, our lot showed 20+ available & there were 3. We got lucky & found a space, but driving a large vehicle is not advised, the cost to park is very reasonable, remember to take your ticket & pay at the machine before driving to the exit. We also did the Salt Mine Tour - cannot recommend, it didn’t measure up to other Salt mine tours we have done, but many people in our group enjoyed it so that is something for you to research & consider. You do not have to take the Salt Mine tour, it is a separate price, but if the weather conditions are favorable, do not miss the incredible views from the Skywalk platform & Cafe Restaurant.

Standing within a public building in the old town of Graz and with free access, on the left side of the road from the Cathedral. The stairs split and rejoin several times as they circle upward to the top. Me and my son went separate ways and ultimately reunited. Very interesting and funny.
