6.Shanghai Tower: 120 floor Highest restaurant in the world

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 52 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $250 per group

Private 2.5-hour Shanghai Tower Tianzhijin luxury lunch on the 120th floor with sightseeing, sunset views, and skip-the-line entry.

“Semplicemente inutile. Siamo andati con la nostra guida personale cinese dopo aver acquistato i ticket. Al bar la guida ha parlato in cinese con i camerieri e le hanno detto che potevamo salire anche gratis, avremmo pagato solo le consumazioni come in un normale bar. Con 26€ a persona abbiamo preso una coca cola che ci sarebbe costata 8€. Il rhum non era incluso e l’ho dovuto pagare a parte. Non compratelo. P.s. pur essendo bellissimo il bar non copriva i 360gradi del panorama. Vi consiglio di optare per il ticket comune del 118esimo piano per un’esperienza completa e di certo più economica.”
