We went to the platform of the Euromast in the evening sun so that we can admire the lights of the skyline. At the entrance, the eTicket could easily be scanned with a mobile phone (it was not necessary to print it out). At the top of the platform, there were two more flights of stairs to a higher view. We were able to take a lot of time to admire the 360° view. The sunset was beautiful and the view was phenomenal.

Going up the euromast was an excellent experience, the tour guide on the euroscoop was polite and helpful whilst speaking excellent English and the city skyline at night was gorgeous. Would most definitely go again!,

The view is amazing, everybody is really nice, the part of the tower that rises is absolutely worth it. In my opinion its cheap.

Nice experience. No hitch. To get there, go through the park. It is very beautiful and relaxing
