In 2006, the building celebrated its 50th anniversary. Mirador, the observation deck between the 37th – 44th also opened its doors to visitors on this occasion. Mirador offers unparalleled, panoramic views of Mexico City, and although it sounds touristy, it’s an absolute must-visit for any first-time visitor.
