Defiantly take a tour of the tower normally takes 45min but the tour guide did a special 30min tour so we could catch the next boat :)

If you can scam an entry to an event here, just do it.

There is not much to see here so make sure you come close to tour times. The restaurant is pretentious and the waitress was very rude.

Very worth a visit even for locals. The tour gives a great history, and the restaurant food was superb.
