I recommend hitting up Pink Lady around 5 PM. The sunset views are breathtaking and you can grab a drink during happy hour, which saves you some cash on cocktails. It's such a chill vibe just before it gets too busy!

My advice is to check the weather before you go. If it’s raining, the rooftop can be a bit of a bummer. I’d suggest calling ahead to see if they have indoor seating available, just in case

I recommend hopping on the tram first thing in the morning around 9 AM. It gets busy later and you'll snag the best seats with no waiting.

Bring a light jacket. It gets windy and cool at the top, and it caught me off guard. I wish I had prepared better for the change in weather!

I recommend buying your tickets online. It saved me some cash and the lines were much shorter. Plus, you can skip the ticket booth chaos.
