Traveler reviews

    ★★★★★a month ago

    It is just a window with a view. As you see in the photos it is a nice view. When we went there was no line (just 2 people)….I am not sure if I would make a line for this… The view to the other side is not pretty at all. Overall it is worth it if you dont have to make a long line!

  • Oksana Od

    ★★★★★Edited 6 months ago

    Five stars for the idea of ​​creating a tourist attraction out of practically nothing. Of course, we joined the six-person queue to take photos. But frankly, this window is very cute, like a handmade secret from childhood.
