    The monument is fabulous, albeit very tricky to climb all the steps, even if you don't have mobility issues! But the view from the top was breathtaking and totally worth it. The ticket was great as it covers everything, including the midfield inside, which was a fantastic collection of military history and worth seeing too if you have the time.

    The view was wonderful, the attention of the last elevator was very good but I have a knee problem and I could not find the elevator to go up.
