Reviews

Although it’s tiny compared to the famous one in New York, it’s still large for a statue. It’s facing the river, so when looking at it while standing on the bridge you see it from the back. There is an option to walk down to it and be right next to it, but I just admired it from behind while standing on the bridge.
