Oh-so-Seventies structure looking like the offspring of a triffid with a moon shot, this 375 m tower beams radio and TV to all parts of the country. The observation deck is at 97 m, and the restaurant at 110 m lurches part-way round then backtracks. Long lines at weekends, book online if feasible, and bring your passport.
The Tashkent Television Tower is a 375-metre-high (1,230 ft) tower, located in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and is the twelfth tallest tower in the world. Construction started in 1978. The tower began operating six years later, on 15 January 1985. It was the fourth tallest tower in the world from 1985 to 1991. The decision to construct the tower was made on 1 September 1971 in order to spread TV and radio signals throughout Uzbekistan. It is a vertical cantilever structure, and is constructed out of steel. Its architectural design is a product of the Terkhiev, Tsarukov & Semashko firm.
