Description

The visit begins with the approach, where pedestrian paths like the Greenwich steps climb past flowers, scenery, and charming hillside gardens. Inside, the murals give the tower its distinct character before heading up. The panoramic city perspective from the top is especially sharp on clear days, though reaching that vantage depends on a historic elevator that occasionally faces maintenance closures or wait times, sometimes turning the ascent into an unexpected walk up the stairs.
