My advice is to check the weather before you go. A clear day is the best for those skyline photos. Nobody wants a foggy view!

My advice is to take your time on the observation deck – don’t rush through it. The sunset views are stunning if you can stick around until then.

I suggest taking the elevator up during off-peak hours if you can. I went around lunchtime, and it was packed – waiting was a hassle!

I think visiting right at 9 AM is the best. You’ll beat the crowds and have plenty of time to enjoy the views without feeling rushed.

I recommend arriving around 5 PM to catch the sunset, it’s absolutely gorgeous and way less crowded. Trust me, the view is totally worth it
