This new observation deck is located 828 meters above ground in the Burj Khalifa. Previously, access was only available up to the 124th floor, but now visitors can reach the 148th floor. This observation deck also holds the Guinness World Record as the highest observation deck in the world.

To get to this observation deck, visitors must first go to the 125th floor and then transfer to another elevator. Last year, 19 million people visited the Burj Khalifa. To see even further, you’ll need to pay a bit more — entry to the new observation deck costs around NT$3,200, or NT$4,000 if you choose to walk there.
