About Us:
The Top
of the World Observation Level offers visitors the opportunity to view America's
Greatest City from an
unobstructed, 360-degree panoramic view. From the Top
one can see a city that rose from ruin to become an eclectic,
first class destination that continues to reinvent itself. It is a
great place to see and learn about the impact of Baltimore's
maritime history, rich heritage and dynamic culture and people,
as they contribute to the ever-changing landscape and pulse
of Charm City. Looking east to west one can see the
neighborhoods that trace their beginnings back hundreds of
years and those which supported a free America. Looking north
and south, it becomes clear why Baltimore is a financial center
and an important international port. As the city changes so does
the view, and it continues to inspire those that come to the Top
to see the historic milestones, local landmarks and famous "firsts."
Top of the World, a city owned attraction, has welcomed millions
of visitors from around the world for over 25 years. Completed
in 1977 at a cost of 21.3 million dollars, it was a cornerstone
of the Inner Harbor's acclaimed re-development. Designed
by the internationally renowned
architectural
firm of I.M. Pei
and Partners, it is the tallest pentagonal building in the world,
an architectural feat.
