I suggest getting there right when they open at 8 AM. It wasn't crowded at all and I could absorb the area in peace. Plus, I had more time to take photos without a bunch of people around.

If you're on a budget, skip the audio guide. I found the info on the signs pretty comprehensive, and that saved me a few bucks. It’s also nice to move at your own pace.

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes. You'll be walking around a lot, and some of the buildings have uneven floors. I had to tiptoe through some areas and regretted wearing sandals.

I suggest checking if there are any temporary exhibitions before visiting. I happened upon one that really complemented the main displays and made my visit even more impactful

I suggets visiting on a weekday to avoid the big groups. It was much easier to take photos and appreciate the monument without the crowds.

If you're up for local snacks, there's a street vendor nearby that sells delicious fried bananas. Definitely grab a few after your visit.

I recommend going around 5 PM to catch the sunset. The colors are stunning on the monument and it's a lot cooler than during midday. Perfect for photos!

I think you should take your time with the audio guide – it’s a bit pricier, but it adds so much depth to the experience. I kind of rushed through without it and missed some cool stories!

For a cool break from the museum, check out the little cafe inside. Their iced coffee is a lifesaver! Just remember it can get busy around lunchtime, so go before noon.

I think taking your time reading the signs is important; each tells a powerful story. Don't rush through – it really adds to the experience!

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes because you'll be walking a lot! The paths can be uneven, and you want to enjoy the area without sore feet.

I recommend bringing some water and snacks. There's a small cafe, but I thought the prices were a bit steep. Save your cash for souvenirs instead
