Avala tower sees 1,500 people a day

 
Belgrade, May, 17. 2010 (Serbia Today) - From its opening, less than a month ago, Avala tower sees about 1,500 people daily, with this figure doubling on weekends. For May Day reveille, six thousand persons visited to the highest building in the Balkans. The architect of the tower, Bato Milatovic says for Vecernje novosti, that in less than a month ago, the Avala Tower has become our most attractive tourist site. “The most prestigious view in the Serbia”, is 125 meters high, and with a view that encompasses Belgrade and 70 percent of Sumadija, this view has already been enjoyed by 23 000 people. The only thing that is lacking is a place to sit down and have a drink or something to eat. There is a restaurant, with an area of 100 square meters, located just below the highest point of "observation", and it is expected to open, when the sale has been concluded. This will provide an oasis of national cuisine. Although conceived to bolster tourism and support telecommunications, this lighthouse has inspired romantics and adventurers to make their marriage proposals. Avala tower is open to visitors every day except Monday. On working days, from 10:00 to 16:30 and on weekends the opportunity to see the top is extended for an hour and a half. Ticket price is 50 dinars, and if you are visiting in a group, then 30.
