We entered without queues or waiting. The monument is imposing and awe-inspiring. I was annoyed that you could not cancel one of the reservations I made because I made a mistake on the day, and I had to buy other tickets spending twice as much.

The music accompanies the various scenes, but I'd have liked some historical commentary in addition to the music. But it's spectacular! A must-see!
