“Collected tickets without issue from the little office as per instructions. Glad to get the tip to walk in through the gate on the right hand side to avoid the very long queue that was for just looking/touching statue. Time on the timed entry was enforced which helped with the chaos. Inside queued for the balcony shot taken by fellow tourists in return for their shot. Explored the rest of the house which was interesting, hot and brief. Didn’t use the app as translation available on most displays and it was hot/busy inside. Glad we went in and up to the balcony.”
