It offers view only of the harbour and surrounding strees. Not sure if it is worth standing in a queue and spending money. More

Guarded by huge lions! This monument holds an information centre and shop inside. There is also a small elevator which goes to the top where one has a 360 degree view of the harbor and city. More
