When staying in one of our holiday apartments in Blackpool, you’ll find yourself surrounded by exciting attractions, but none are quite as iconic as the Blackpool Tower. Dominating the town’s skyline since 1894, this Victorian marvel continues to captivate visitors with its breathtaking views, rich history, and wide range of entertainment options.
A Glimpse into History
The Blackpool Tower was inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris and stands at a towering 518 feet. It was built during the height of Blackpool’s popularity as a seaside resort, making it a beacon of entertainment and culture. Today, it remains one of the most recognisable landmarks in the UK, welcoming millions of visitors each year.
Top Experiences at Blackpool Tower
Whether you’re visiting for the views, entertainment, or a step back in time, the Blackpool Tower offers something for everyone:
The Blackpool Tower Eye: Ascend to the top of the tower in a modern glass elevator and experience panoramic views of Blackpool and beyond. On clear days, you can even see as far as the Lake District, Liverpool, and the Isle of Man. The glass SkyWalk is a thrilling experience for those who dare to look down at the bustling promenade below.
The Blackpool Tower Ballroom: For a touch of timeless elegance, visit the Blackpool Tower Ballroom, where you can waltz across the same dance floor as some of the world’s greatest dancers. Regular afternoon teas with live music make it the perfect stop for those who appreciate a classic British experience.
