Even though it was cloudy we didn’t have any spare days to change our tickets for another day as offered by the staff ! The whole experience was fantastic and it definitely was worth doing. Afterwards we had an ice cream by the vendors that had a stall within the building but with more choice. Really had a great time
The view was mind blowing & I was glad that I took the evening time view just after sunset. The lights were on in the city, making it a beautiful sight. Recommend the express ticket to avoid queue. The meeting point info was generic and we struggled to find the correct entry door (there being 3 on the road indicated in the meeting point info) . Pls use door next to the Chocolate store on the street mentioned in meeting point.
