BEST VIEW OF THE CITY - open daily until midnight. Don't miss a ride on the Incline. At the top, there's a small museum and a viewing platform. Underneath the station, you can see the workings for a buck. Restaurants within walking distance are mostly open at dinner only - again, great views, a bit pricey.
