Great view with a small wait

As a first-time visitor, I liked how quickly the ticket was checked and the climb felt manageable. The line for the elevator took a while, though, and the renovation meant fewer upper views than I expected. Still, the city panorama from the viewing windows made the visit enjoyable.
