Smith Tower

"This historic high-rise building has been a watchful presence throughout the city's development. Inside, you can feel the atmosphere of the past with its classic design, which is interesting because it has a different charm from modern skyscrapers. When you reach the top, you can see the entire city, and the view that stretches from the sea to the mountains is incredibly refreshing. It's a highly satisfying tourist spot, and I especially recommend it to those who want to slowly savor the history and atmosphere of the city."

"Be sure to visit the city's oldest skyscraper, the Smith Tower, built in 1914. A ride on the vintage manual elevator will take you to the 35th-floor observation deck and the Prohibition-era-themed Temperance Bar."

"Book Your Afternoon Tea Early: You definitely need to make a reservation at least a week in advance for the afternoon tea. I missed out because I didn't realize this, so make sure to check their website well ahead of time. Budget Your Time: If you do secure a spot for tea, plan to stay for at least two hours. The service is relaxed, and it takes a little time for the food to be prepared and served. Dress for the Weather: Even in the middle of summer, the observation deck can be incredibly windy and chilly. Be sure to bring a jacket so you can comfortably walk around and explore while you wait. While it was a unique experience to visit such an iconic landmark, the visual restrictions and the booking requirements mean it’s a spot that requires a bit more planning to truly enjoy."
