24 dizzying sights from around the world

This post is not for those who are afraid of heights, although sitting in front of the monitor, you are relatively safe. But if you are a seeker of new sensations and are not afraid to climb higher, then you are welcome — in this issue we have collected a couple of dozen dizzying places in the world where you can enjoy the lack of solid ground under your feet and an exciting feeling in your stomach.

Mont Blanc, French Alps

At an altitude of 3800 meters on the top of the Aiguille du Midi there is a glass cage called "Step into the Void".

Here you can enjoy views of Mont Blanc — the highest mountain in Europe — from the world's tallest cabin with a transparent floor.

The tallest building in the world is Burj Khalifa, Dubai.

The height of this skyscraper is 822 m . It's almost twice as big as the Empire State Building. If you have the courage, you can look at Dubai from the most dizzying observation deck in the world.

The Grand Canyon and its "sky Bridge"

The Sky Bridge of the Grand Canyon is owned by the Valapai tribe of Indians. There is 213 m of free space under the observation deck.

Glass cubes on the Willis (Sears) Tower, Chicago

The "ledge" is a glass balcony suspended in the air at a height of 396 meters.

Although glass panels can withstand a weight of 4,500 kg, it is not so easy to look down at the roofs of neighboring skyscrapers.

CN Tower, Toronto

Whether you are on the observation deck or outside, the skyscraper will give you stunning views of the city.

The Way of Faith, China

The Path of Faith is a glass walkway built on Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain with a height of 1,432 m.

You arrive by cable car and, if you do not suffer from dizziness at altitude, you can "calmly" walk along the passage and get an unforgettable experience.

Sky Tower, Auckland, New Zealand

The height of the tower is more than 300 meters, and it dominates the Auckland skyline.

If you have the courage to leave the observation deck, you can do it up by walking along the very top of the skyscraper. And if you are a real extreme, you can jump from the tower to the bungee.

Alpspix observation deck in Germany

Troll language, Norway

The troll's tongue sticks out over the Ringedalsvatn Lake at an altitude of 700 meters. It's quite a difficult climb, but this natural observation deck offers stunning views.

Bridge between Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
