Stuttgart TV Tower is the world's first television tower built from reinforced concrete, and has become a prototype for similar towers worldwide since its opening in 1956. Rising 217 meters above Bopser hill, the observation platform at 150 meters offers breathtaking panoramic views of Stuttgart, the Neckar Valley, the Swabian Alps, and the Black Forest. The tower houses Panoramacafé and Restaurant Leonhardts for dining with a view.
