★★★★★3 weeks agoThere is a free ferry every couple of minutes to the other side of the city. We went there quickly but i guess it depends on the time slot. A great and fun activity if you are not scared of heights and open spaces. I would also recommend going before sunset to enjoy an amazing panoramic scene of the whole city!

★★★★★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
