Towering over City Square on City Hall Way, Nairobi’s signature building was designed as a fusion of modern and traditional African styles, though the distinctive saucer tower looks a little dated next to some of the city’s newer and flashier glass edifices. Take the lift up to the viewing platform and helipad on the roof for wonderful views over Nairobi.
The sight-line goes all the way to the suburbs and on clear days you can even see Mt Kenya. You’re allowed to take photographs from the viewing level but not elsewhere in the building.
