TIPS
Wear sunscreen and comfortable shoes; you walk up and down steep staircases and cover a lot of ground.
Arrive half an hour before your tour begins to allow time to catch the trolley across the bridge (no parking is allowed near the battleship).
Cameras are allowed inside but bags are not; backpacks and purses must be checked for $2.
