About Eureka Tower
The Eureka Tower rises in the heart of Melbourne along the upscale Southbank Promenade on the Yarra River. The 297.3-meter (975-foot) building was constructed between 2001 and 2006 by the architecture firm Fender Katsalidis and is now one of the tallest skyscrapers in the Southern Hemisphere. High-speed elevators take you up to the Eureka Skydeck observation deck on the 88th floor. From there, you get a stunning 360-degree view over the city, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Port Phillip Bay, and the Dandenong Ranges. One highlight is The Edge, a glass platform that slides out from the building and turns transparent at the push of a button, giving you a thrilling view straight down.

Contains the highest observation deck in the Southern Hemisphere on level 88, with panoramic views of the entirety of Melbourne. Only recommended in clear weather. Also offers an additional cost "Edge" experience whereby visitors are protruded outside of the building inside a glass-panelled cube.
