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.

It was crowded, the exhibits felt unorganized, and the general sense was that people were hurrying through 90% of the exhibits just to get to the Cartography room and Sistin Chapel.
