🌅 Lakhta Center observation deck

Лахтинский пр., 2 (башня Лахта Центра, 83-й этаж)

The glazed 83rd floor of the Lakhta Center tower, over 350 metres up: a view of the whole city, the Gulf and the Western High-Speed Diameter, and in the evening the city lights from above.

The 462-metre Lakhta Center tower is the tallest building in Russia and Europe and the northernmost skyscraper in the world.
The observation deck takes up floors 83–86, at a height of about 360 metres — the highest observation deck in Europe.
The tower's artistic concept is by architect Charles Fu of the RMJM bureau; the shape of its plan goes back to the pentagonal Swedish fortress of Nyenschantz.
The facade is assembled from 16,505 glass modules, each weighing more than 700 kg.
The spire, over 100 metres tall, is covered with a steel mesh instead of glass so that ice does not build up on it.
Below, on the complex's embankment, are the recreated Chapel of St Peter and the 300-metre horizontal fountain “River”.
