Creator's Key Takeaways

we arrived with high hopes for an unforgettable day asore but by the time we left something felt off

I spent over 2 hours total in line once in the car itself it was 6 minutes up there

independent isn't necessarily the cheapest option especially when it comes to time and energy spent

lesson learned we had similar time constraints in Dublin Ireland for very different reasons

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pre-order cable car tickets online to save time
Arrive at the cable car by 8:00 a.m. to avoid long lines
Consider booking a tour for time efficiency, as taxis are limited to tours
Use the 5 in 10 bus for transportation, but have exact cash ready
