💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit during sunset to experience both day and night views with a single ropeway ticket. The ropeway operates year-round but can be temporarily suspended during strong winds, so check weather conditions in advance. English signage and audio guides are available, and credit cards are accepted for ropeway tickets. Arrive early during peak seasons (summer and winter) as lines can be long, especially around dusk.
