Beat the heat
With the recent heatwave, it can get a little warm in the cable car. Pack a mini fan and sufficient water to cool off. You can also opt for a breezier ride in the SkyOrb Cabins, meticulously equipped with special window louvers for improved air circulation.

Plan your trip accordingly
Dusk is a great time for optimal views and Instagrammable photos, especially as the heat becomes less unrelenting and sunset casts its magical glow over the landscape.
