• Be sure to bring water.
• In the rare case of unusually bad weather the terrace may be closed for safety reasons, and your ticket will be refunded.
• The elevator has a maximum capacity of 7 persons, so you might have to wait few minutes before heading up to the roof (the lift is always guaranteed, however).
• The staircase to reach the highest terrace is particularly narrow and has smooth marble steps, so you are advised to wear comfortable shoes with rubber soles.
