Best Austin Landmark

UT Tower

For many years after it was built in 1937, the Tower at the University of Texas was the tallest building in Austin and could be seen from just about any place in town. The years have shrouded the iconic structure in a forest of skyscrapers, but to anyone who has ever driven the upper deck of I-35, it is a symbol of Austin. After being closed to the public for many years, the observation deck is once again open for guided tours.
