Study Reveals the World’s Best Observation Decks for Travelers on a Budget
Travel experts at Omio have analyzed 70 of the world’s most popular observation decks and their entrance fees, which reveal the best and most affordable views for budget-conscious travelers. The study includes 8 of the most popular viewing decks in the United States.
BERLIN, May 2, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Omio, Europe’s leading booking platform for travel, has released a ranking of the world’s most affordable observation decks. The study analyzes the entrance fees for the 70 most popular viewing platforms in the world, followed by an offset of the ticket prices against the official height of the building. The result is a well-curated list of the best views for the best price.
In almost every city, observation decks are among the most popular attractions for tourists. This ranking reveals the wide range of ticket prices, starting at $1.14 for the Torre Panorâmica in Curitiba (Brazil) to the Empire State Building in New York City (United States), where the entrance costs around $79.
“Top of Africa” offers the best price for money
The popular viewing platform “Top of Africa” (732ft) on the top floor of the Carlton Centre in Johannesburg offers visitors a unique panoramic view as far as Soweto and the best deal for the money. The entrance fee only costs $1.67 and beats all other observation decks surveyed in the price per foot category ($0.002 per ft). The deck is finally scheduled to reopen in summer 2023.
Table 1: Top 10 best observation decks for travelers on a budget.
| Destination | Observation deck | Height | Ticket | Price per ft. | |
| 1 | Johannesburg, South Africa | Top of Africa | 732ft | $1.67 | $0.002 |
| 2 | Istanbul, Turkey | Istanbul Sapphire | 856ft | $2.68 | $0.003 |
| 3 | Curitiba, Brazil | Torre Panorâmica | 359ft | $1.14 | $0.003 |
| 4 | Riga, Latvia | Riga TV tower | 1,207ft | $3.96 | $0.003 |
| 5 | Cairo, Egypt | Cairo Tower | 614ft | $2.14 | $0.004 |
| 6 | Belgrade, Serbia | TV tower Avala | 673ft | $2.78 | $0.004 |
| 7 | Plzeň, Czech Republic | Cathedral of St. Bartholomew | 338ft | $1.56 | $0.005 |
| 8 | Rio de Janeiro, Brazil | Christ the Redeemer | 2,297ft | $14.36 | $0.006 |
| 9 | Barcelona, Spain | Torre de Collserola | 945ft | $6.00 | $0.006 |
| 10 | Warsaw, Poland | Palace of Culture and Science | 945ft | $5.68 | $0.007 |
From $24 to $79: Observation decks in the US are expensive
The Empire State Building in New York City is probably the most famous observation platform in the world. The viewing deck attracts around 3.5 million visitors per year. The study reveals that visiting a skydeck in the US is rather expensive. The most expensive observation deck is the Empire State Building and a ticket to the 102nd floor costs around $79.
Good that the Big Apple offers plenty of alternatives. The deck of the One World Trade Center only costs about $47 and a ticket to the Top of the Rock observation deck costs about $43.
The Statue of Liberty offers the worst deal for travelers. The monument that includes a viewing deck in the crown is only 305ft tall but one ticket costs $24. A ticket to The Strat in Las Vegas is also around $24 but at least the building is 1,148ft tall.
The best deal for an observation deck in the US is the Willis Tower in Chicago. A ticket to the visitors’ floor on top of the 1,450ft-tall building costs only $30.

Starrag’s New Bumotec Machine Picks Through the Bones of Complex Manufacturing
From the 13th to the 15th of June, Starrag will be exhibiting at the Orthopedic Manufacturing & Technology Exposition and Conference (OMTEC) in Chicago. On Booth 447, the world’s leading machine tool manufacturer will demonstrate its expertise in this arena by showcasing the Starrag Bumotec 191neo.
Starrag’s Bumotec 191neo
Bone plate manufacturing on the Bumotec 191neo
HEBRON, Ky., May 2, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
With 12 different variants built upon a single platform, the new Starrag Bumotec 191neo is a multi-axis mill/turn center that introduces a world of flexible and highly productive machining solutions. At the OMTEC exhibition, the Starrag Bumotec 191neo will be demonstrating just how flexible, productive and capable a machine it is with the one-hit production of a bone plate. Manufactured in volume throughout the medical industry, bone plates are particularly challenging to machine – but not for the Starrag Bumotec 191neo.
For manufacturers in the medical profession, the difficulty when producing bone plates is the ability to machine and subsequently finish the plates on all six sides in a single operation whilst striving for optimized cycle times and lights-out 24/7 production. On the booth at OMTEC, the machine will feed a 1.2-inch (30 mm) diameter titanium bar into the work envelope and deploy 20 different cutting tools to 26 operations to finish machine the bone plate in under 20 minutes. The challenge, as a medical device manufacturer would appreciate, is the complex machining of a long part between two stations whilst retaining perfect synchronization. Not only does the new Starrag Bumotec 191neo productively achieve this by machining the bone plates from bar stock in its robust work envelope, but it eradicates any requirement for secondary operations.
The epitome of high-end machining, the Starrag Bumotec 191neo will machine the bone plate at OMTEC in a single operation with impeccable surface finishes, leaving a part that is burr-free and free of tabs – and then delicately placing the parts into a collection receptacle for complete unmanned production. With such stringent regulations in the medical industry, machining bone plates with absolute confidence and quality conformity whilst delivering a completely automated production cell is exactly why manufacturers need to see the Starrag Bumotec 191neo at OMTEC.
The impressive new Starrag Bumotec 191neo is available in four versions, the ‘P’ with vice, ‘PRM’ with a multi-purpose pickup vice, the ‘R’ with a back-working spindle and the ‘RP’ with a combined vice and back-working spindle. Providing a choice of bar capacities of 1.7, 2, 2.6 inch (42, 50 or 65 mm), manufacturers can choose one of 12 machine configurations that are all based upon the same rigid and extremely robust.
Maintaining unparalleled thermal and performance stability during production, the Starrag Bumotec 191neo offers a formidable level of productivity. Compared to previous models, the new machine has a new tool change system that reduces changeovers by more than 15%. The machine also has a new milling spindle with increased torque and a back-working movement that is controlled by an electric motor. This combination provides the perfect blend of high-speed cutting with the power and rigidity for increased material removal rates whilst enhancing positional control.
The high-performance Starrag spindle is fed cutting tools from its 90-position tool magazine that now has an integrated tool breakage probe to support lights-out production runs. Further advancing the automation credentials of the new machine is the option of a traditional Bumotec palletizer or a robotic, modular or custom-made automated cell that delivers true ’24/7′ production, which is only interrupted by preventive maintenance when required. If you want to optimize your productivity with a completely flexible solution that can undertake the machining of a diverse range of component types, please come and visit Booth 447 at the OMTEC show in June.

Santa Maria Valley Becomes Sizzle Central This May
California’s notorious barbecue is ‘steaking’ its claim as the West’s best barbecue, inviting others to experience Sizzle Central
Santa Maria Valley is Sizzle Central
Santa Maria Style put West Coast barbecue on the map 150 years ago. Now, Santa Maria Valley is ‘steaking’ its claim. Tune in, follow along, and come see how this slice of California’s Central Coast celebrates Barbecue Month, #SantaMariaStyle.
SANTA MARIA, Calif., May 1, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Big, bold and ready to showdown and throwdown — this is Sizzle Central. A 30-mile stretch of California’s Central Coast, Santa Maria Valley and its expert Santa Maria Style pit masters are prepped and ready to share their expert flavor (and hot takes) with the rest of the world. In honor of National Barbecue Month, Santa Maria Valley will transform into Sizzle Central, an unscripted, spicy and unexpected celebration of all things Santa Maria Style barbecue and is guaranteed to make the culinary world take notice.
No soggy bottoms.
Sauce is out, spice is in, and Santa Maria Valley is entering the chat with tips on how to grill Santa Maria Style. Santa Maria Valley will be calling out barbecue techniques via its social media channels, challenging the status quo and even offering grilling tips in a Home Chef Throwdown, where anyone can upload their personal barbecue “how tos” to Instagram and/or TikTok tagging @SantaMariaValley and using #SizzleCentral hashtag.
To kick things off, Santa Maria Valley is sharing just what you need to get started. An updated Santa Maria Style Cookbook is available to download for free and is full of Santa Maria Style recipes and tips.
Tri-tip + wine country = A match made in heaven. Sip on that, Texas.
So, what sets Santa Maria Style barbecue apart from the rest? (There is no competition as far as Santa Maria Valley is concerned.) Here at Sizzle Central, barbecue isn’t a smoke show, rather, it’s a spiced-up, red-oak-fired, perfectly wine-paired flavor found in a foodie’s dream destination.
“Santa Maria Style barbecue is in a category of its own compared to other styles of barbecue because of how we cook the meats,” said Jaime Flores, Santa Maria Valley pitmaster and founder of the Santa Maria Barbecue Festival. “We cook on an open pit and control the heat by raising and lowering our grill. This open pit style allows the meats to cook evenly and the red oak smoke flavors the meats, which are seasoned with a dry seasoning usually consisting of salt, pepper and garlic. With these attributes to our style, there is no reason to sauce the meat.”
Each year, hundreds of people gather in mid-May (May 13, this year) for the annual Santa Maria Barbecue Festival, a celebration of grilling Santa Maria Style. The cornerstone of the event is a professional competition with local celebrity judges that vote on the Best Barbecue in Santa Maria Valley as local businesses and professionals compete for bragging rights and the first-place Branding Iron award. There is also a separate competition for “best backyard cook.”
“The differences between East, West, North and South vary greatly,” said Anthony Minniti, Santa Maria Valley pitmaster. “Each style differs in cooking time, temperature, rub or no rub, and, when applicable, the sauce. I love them all, however, I think Santa Maria Style is the purest form of barbecue because of its balance and simplicity.”
Santa Maria Style barbecue started in the mid-19th century when the rancheros gathered to help each other brand their calves each spring. As a thank-you to fellow vaqueros — America’s first cowboys — the host would prepare a Spanish-style barbecue, consisting of beef barbecued over a red-oak fire, served with Pinquito beans, bread, salsa and homemade desserts. The region’s flagship varieties also pair perfectly with barbecue — cool-climate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah — all “bold but gentle” and paired perfectly with barbecue.
So, what are you waiting for? Come to Sizzle Central (whether in person or at home) and experience Santa Maria Style barbecue either for the first time or again and again. Of course, there’s no better way than to get the complete Santa Maria Style experience than in person. With 15 beaches and 34 tasting rooms all within a 30-minute drive, Santa Maria Valley is the perfect home base to do more for less. Explore all you can do in and around the valley.
