    For TL5, you can get a drink and superb views from the restaurant, without squeezing pass the tourists on the cramped top level.

    Tourist trap / give it a miss if you’re short of time otherwise prepare to wait for at least 1 hour in the queue to fight for a space upstairs to take a decent pic.

    Although the queue is not long, you may spend an hour standing in it. And you can use stairs to come down.

    It's quite expensive for something where you'll spend about 15 minutes. Very crowded and a line to get in
