Slide 1 of 2

Stunning views and if you take the time to consider the engineering achievements it will blow your mind. It’s certainly worthy of the title eighth wonder of the world. I would strongly recommend getting there early. The steps are tough enough for people who are fit. Add crowds , narrow staircases and hot weather it’s a tight day. Still awesome loved it

Chris M, United KingdomAwesome for a multitude of reasons

We took the walk from the Nine Arches Bridge to Little Adam’s Pick late in the afternoon. We passed through the tea plantations, the landscape is magnificent. We wanted to see the sunset but it was cloudy…. The climb is done little by little, without too much difficulty. Because of the heat I advise you to go there early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Arriving at the top, the view is magnificent! It is worth it.

Carine B, FranceVery beautiful view

Beautiful white sand beach. Great place to enjoy beach games and sea swimming. Place to relax and enjoy sun. Visited in November 2024, weather is great.

Salah, OmanTrip to Bentota beach. Great place to visit

A city with a long history. First, the Portuguese came in the 16th century and built a fortress, followed by the Dutch, and in the 18th century the British, each of whom contributed something to the fortress and architecture of the city. Listed by UNESCO. There is something to see.

Fata S, RussiaA fortress with history

Taking a leisurely walk along the train track towards the Nine Arch Bridge was an experience filled with tranquility and natural beauty. The lush greenery surrounding the area was simply mesmerizing, adding to the charm of the place. We timed our visit perfectly to catch the evening train passing by, which added an extra layer of excitement to our adventure. Even the kids had a blast exploring the surroundings. It's definitely a must-visit spot for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat amidst nature's embrace.
