While the experience is unique, it’s not physically overwhelming. Most visitors take 5 to 10 minutes to ascend the 273 narrow spiral steps, depending on fitness level and crowd flow. The descent is slightly faster, taking around 3 to 5 minutes.
However, your total visit time will be closer to 30–35 minutes, which includes:
- Security checks before entry (mandatory bag check, as bags are not allowed inside)
- A timed entry slot (you must arrive 10–15 minutes early)
- Time spent at the top enjoying the panoramic views and taking photos
- The descent and exit flow
