One of Imagine Dragons’ most popular songs is entitled “On Top of the World”. We like to think of it as playing in the background while exploring these sites that are worth visiting for their views from above. 

Rockefeller Center, New York City, USA

Located in Midtown Manhattan, Rockefeller Center was declared a national historic landmark in 1987. We have a strong feeling that that has to do with the building’s observation deck from which you can gaze upon the Empire State Building, Central Park, and everything in between.

The London Eye, London, England

The skyline of the English capital is easily recognizable due to the giant Ferris wheel known as the London Eye. At 443-feet tall, is the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over 3 million visitors annually.

Burj Khalifa, Dubai

The skyscraper, situated in Dubai’s central business district, holds the title of the tallest building in the world. Visitors can face their vertigo by going on the observation deck, nicknamed “At the Top”, which can be found on the building’s 124th floor. At 1,483-feet high, it is even possible to see the shores of Iran when visibility is good.
