About
Γρήγορα στοιχεία: Skyline-piercing spire reaches about 167.5 meters, ranking among the tallest masonry buildings in Europe. Inside a dramatic vertical space, a museum dedicated to cinema stacks exhibits along a spiral ramp, and a glass lift floats visitors up through the central void.
Κύρια σημεία: Step into the glass panoramic lift and feel the city yawning away beneath you, the view reaching to the snow-capped Alps on clear days from roughly 167.5 meters up. Alessandro Antonelli kept raising the spire far beyond the original plan, sparking local legend that he refused full payment until the tower surpassed expectations, a stubbornness visible in the building’s awkwardly elegant silhouette.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes; the museum has ramps and long galleries and the rooftop can involve steps.
- Ride the glass panoramic elevator for the best photos, book a timed ticket online to skip long queues.
- Aim for an early weekday visit to avoid crowds, or arrive near sunset for dramatic light but expect more people.
- Bring a light jacket for the viewing platform, wind and cooler temperatures are common at rooftop level.

4.0Arrived at 8am and had almost no line. Elevator to the top was worth the extra 8 euro, stunning views; museum downstairs felt small and busy.
Went at noon, lines moved fast but place filled up. 10 euro entry felt fair, skip the guided audio if short on time, rooftop is the highlight.
Visited late afternoon and it was packed. Paid 18 euro for combo ticket and the lift queue cost me an hour, nice views but not worth the wait.
