Ein paar Stufen höher liegt die Aussichtsplattform, ganzoben auf dem Turm. Von hier aus ist der Blick noch etwas besser. Von März bis Oktober gibt es hier eine Champagner-Bar.
Die Aussichtsplattform ist leider nicht barrierefrei, da es keinen Aufzug gibt und 70 Stufen zwischen dem 56. Stock und der Dachterrasse liegen.
