The British Airways i360 viewing tower is the world’s tallest moving observation tower.
It was inspired by a 19th-century jetty that invited the visitors to discover Brighton from above the sea and also made them walk on water.
The final design of the tower invites people to experience a walk on the air and to experience a 360 degree of the Brighton city from the sky level.
