You can walk here on a stunning, very popular 45 minute pedestrian walkway, have a look around or maybe even pay to go into the observatory. Then have a fantastic meal in the restaurant (which is nearly always booked out!) and stroll home again orelse hop on a bus to the city and continue your exploration!
