    The Eiffel tower (Paris).
    The Belfry (Ghent, Belgium).

    Come to think of it, I don't really like heights...

                In order of height:

                - Tokyo Sky Tree (2080 feet, Japan)
                - CN Tower (1815 feet, Toronto, Canada)
                - Tokyo Tower (1091 feet, Japan)
                - Yokohama Landmark Tower (972 feet, Japan)

                It was cool being in a couple structures that I had seen being destroyed by Godzilla.

                  CN Tower (Which is really cool, but not that exotic for me since it's only a 20 minute walk away.)
                  Empire State Building (Really spectacular - I love the art deco design as much as the view)

                  And that's it.

                        The arch in St L is not that crazy high, but itis a heckuva trip since you have to sit in that carnival ride bucket thing for 15 minutes or whatevervit takes to get up top. Feels like forever.

                        Empire State Building is still a thing of beauty.

                              Yep, Tokyo tower is the one in that film. It basically looks like a white and orange striped Eiffel tower. Yokohama Landmark Tower is an actual building rather than just a tower (tallest building in Japan, not counting towers) and took some bad hits in the more recent Godzilla films (1992's Godzilla vs Mothra and 2001's GMK). They had it fixed up again pretty nice by the time I visited it.
