Queen's Balcony
The exact spot Elizabeth II stood on 10 May 1954.
A viewing point on the eastern side, named for the visit of Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh on 10 May 1954. It marks the precise place they stood.
It looks down over the eastern slopes, the water catchments and Catalan Bay. Quieter than the Skywalk and, for the eastern view, arguably better.
Where this rating comes from
This is the rating for the ticket, not for this site on its own.
Queen's Balcony is not sold or reviewed separately anywhere we can licence, so it carries no score of its own — and we would rather show you nothing than invent one. What we can tell you is how people rate the ticket that admits you to it, which is the thing you actually buy.
