- Check the specific opening hours for holidays like Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, and Christmas Day, as they differ from regular hours.
- Wear comfortable shoes, as the tunnel floor can be uneven in places, and you'll be walking from one end to the other.
- The tunnel maintains a pleasant temperature, making it a comfortable escape from colder outdoor weather.
