Went at a quiet time of year December. Views spectacular, not a lot to do at the top but worth it for the views . It is quite expensive 47 euros each but they do a family ticket

This is an amazing place to visit and well worth the cost. The staff are very friendly and most of them speak English. The short intro video and the planetarium experience are also really worth paying 10 euros for. They explain the history of how the place was constructed and give you an insight into astronomy. One comment that struck me was about how, before Galileo, beliefs and knowledge were the same. Now of course, they are separate. We also treated ourselves to a meal in the 2877 restaurant which was fabulous. The food was presented well and tasted great. Service was also faultless. On the whole, highly recommended!
