Because it's big, it's beautiful, it's a masterpiece. Cowek's art has obvious folklore roots, Fernandes's - Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo and giraffes. It's a thing you can look at for half an hour doing nothing but enjoying every small detail.

The best time to take a ride on the Ferris wheel is either at sunset or late at night when the city welcomes you with its cosy golden lights. Although there are closed cabins, the open cabins are nice – don't miss the opportunity to feel the breeze 50 metres above the earth!
