Best time to visit
Arrive 45–60 minutes before sunset for golden light followed by city lights; clear winter evenings often give the best long-range visibility, and weekdays are quieter than weekends.

About
Korte feiten: At 297 metres above ground, the viewing platform delivers a dizzying panorama where streets shrink to threads and the bay glitters like sequins. A glass cube extends from the façade so visitors can step out over the skyline, a literal perspective shift that makes traffic and pedestrians below seem toy-like.
Hoogtepunten: On the 88th floor a clear glass cube thrusts three metres out from the tower, fitting up to six people and turning the floor into a see-through platform about 285 metres above the streets where the wind roars in your ears and the city feels minuscule. A crown of 24-karat gold-plated glass wraps the top ten floors as an homage to the 1850s gold rush, so at sunset the façade flashes molten yellow and locals time visits for that dramatic golden-hour shimmer.
Insider tips
- Wear a light windproof layer, upper deck can be chilly and windy even on warm days.
- Book a timed ticket to skip long queues and aim for early morning or just before sunset to avoid peak crowds.
- Step into The Edge glass cube for unique photos, then move to the outdoor balcony for sweeping bay shots.
- Skip peak weekend afternoons unless attending on a clear day, and avoid spending extra time in the souvenir shop if on a tight schedule.
