Views are stunning, as is the tower itself. Security is heavy getting in. Extremely long wait at the Coffee house, but it was peak season. I'd say it's a Moscow must-see.

Well.. 4th world tallest building.
High and cool. And a bit chilly, 340 meters, open observation deck, autumn winds.. (There is second one, warm, but not so cool.)
Sadly, restaurant was closed been of COVID.

Worth visiting when in Moscow. The tallest building in Europe. You can actually see all Moscow from a height of 340 m.

Grand landmark, 540 m high TV tower. Observation deck at 340 m mark (glass-walled, even some glass floor) and open-air one just above. Interactive displays. Grand panorama of Moscow, 360 degrees. Especially good in twilight.

In August 2000 a fire broke at about 340 meter height causing much damage due to it's aging infrastructure and inaccessibility.

Very impressive! Whoever stands at the foot of the Ostankino TV tower sees a gigantic "needle" that seems to want to pierce the clouds. With 540,1m this is the tallest freestanding structure in Europe, the first to pass the 500m limit, and .. Read more »(in 2021) the 11th tallest in the world. Designed by Nikolai Nikitin the Ostankino TV-tower was completed in 1967 to honor the 50th birthday of the Russian Revolution.
