Truly breathtaking... The views and the experience...

Truly breathtaking... The views and the experience! I would highly recommend reserving tickets to go all the way to the crown (must be reserved far in advance online). The climb to the top of the pedestal was exhausting, but the views were beautiful. Surprisingly, the climb from the pedestal to the crown was actually less strenuous! The spiral staircase was interesting going up and a bit eerie coming down. I'd definitely go again!
