When the 1988 Calgary Olympics took place, the tower was the Olympic torch and there was even real fire burning at the top. Not far from the tower you will find the Olympic Plaza, where all the award ceremonies took place.
From the tower you have a great view over the city to the Rocky Mountains. For me a highlight in downtown Calgary.

It measures 191 meters (626 feet) tall, providing stunning panoramic views of the city and the surrounding Rocky Mountains.
Opened on June 30, 1968, it was originally called "Husky Tower." It was renamed Calgary Tower in 1971 to better reflect its importance to the city.
