Traveler reviews
Hey
★★★★★6 months agoVery nice view after the incredibly difficult climb of who knows how many steps - It's worth it! Would recommend going around sunset time and although the sunset was awful on the day we went, the buildings look much nicer in the dark with the lights

★★★★★2 months agoThe overview says it all. The climb is very steep and extremely difficult. The view is worth it. Only at the top I realized it’s also accessible by road which may have been an easier route.
