★★★★★2 months agoThis lookout spot is absolutely fantastic! The views from up there are truly breathtaking, offering a whole new perspective of the city. I'd definitely give it a full five stars without any hesitation. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger and just soak it all in. Highly recommend checking it out if you're ever in the area! Not very expensive Offers beverage and food

★★★★★3 months agoWhat an experience! The whole swing ride lasts 1 minute, but I believe it is more than enough time to enjoy and delight at the marvelous view. Also, the feeling is amazing, I think everyone should do this at least once. It is not a roller coaster style experience, but the adrenaline is definitely there, best if possible to catch the sunset. Even going up the elevator they had special visuals and sounds. We had a reservation at 18:30h for the swings but we still were left in a line downstairs outside the building to go on the elevator that would take you up to the roof, waiting time was around 20-30 minutes. But at the end, it is very worth it.
