- Photo enthusiasts should focus on the natural light filtering through stained glass windows in the main hall.
- Avoid weekend afternoons to escape the busiest times and enjoy a more personal experience.
- Skip the café during peak hours; instead, try a nearby waterfront spot for local seafood after your visit.
