What makes it 88% Couple-Friendly: Couples enjoy a scenic ascent, 360-degree sunset views, historic church terraces and shared gentle rides, yet weekend crowds and family noise can reduce the romantic mood.

In summer arrive before 10:00 to beat heat and peak crowds. In winter plan around shorter daylight to catch sunset before ride closures.
