Turkmenistan Tower
Türkmenistan teleradio merkezi
A TV tower about 211 metres tall on the slope of Kopet Dag, with an eight-pointed star on its body that is recognised by Guinness. A revolving restaurant offers views over the whole city.
The TV tower was completed in 2011 on a hillside of Kopet Dag in the south of the city. At about 211 metres, its elevation makes it the highest point on the city skyline. The Star of Oguz Khan, an eight-pointed star on the front of the tower, has been certified by Guinness as the largest architectural star decoration. Inside are observation decks and a revolving restaurant, from which you can see the whole white marble city and, to the north, the Karakum Desert. Security checks apply on entry, and opening hours should be confirmed on site.
