5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

It can be very crowded in tourist season.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Not worth going during the day when hundreds of tourists descend! It's insane and takes a solid 20 minutes just to get to the parking lot, where there is no parking. Go in the later evening when it is EMPTY.

5/5 - Excellent

Highly recommend.
