Good to know

  • Buy rooftop (terrazze) tickets online ahead; the lift option costs more than the stairs.
  • Shoulders and knees must be covered and there is a security check, so skip big bags.
  • Go at opening or late afternoon; Time Out advises going early to avoid both crowds and pickpockets.
