Take a tour of Stuttgart TV Tower in Stuttgart, Germany – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

In February 1956, a television tower began operation in Stuttgart, Germany, the first to be made of concrete.
At 217 meters high, the tower is a great feat of creation designed by Stuttgart native, Professor Fritz Leonhardt.
The tower was intended to be profoundly aesthetic, as well as to provide visitors with a stunning view of the landscape from 150 meters high.
Looking out from the observation deck, visitors can view Stuttgart's vast forests and numerous lush vineyards.
Visitors can also dine at the Panorama Cafe while taking in Stuttgart's scenery.
When the sky is clear the Swiss, German, and Austrian Alps become visible, creating a majestic and unique skyline.
