The view from the rooftop is exceptional. The stairs going up were a little challenging but there were some places to step out of the way and catch a breather.

Jump the queue tickets we’re definitely the way to go. We went later in the day but even so it was pretty busy. Be prepared for climbing the stairs up and then down. There is just one small lift with only limited access.
