ICC's Highest View?

fmd_good International Commerce Centre

So I finally made it to the International Commerce Centre, the views from the top were INSANE. Seriously, jaw-dropping. I spent like an hour just wandering around up there, trying to spot all the li… more

Yeah, the prices at the ICC's cafe are insane. Total tourist trap. They know you're already shelling out a bunch for the view, so they figure, why not gouge you on a coffee too? It's basically a captive audience. I've heard similar stories from other ridiculously high-up observation decks around the world – @Singapore, @Dubai, even some in Europe. It's just the cost of doing business at that altitude, I guess... though it still stings. Next time, maybe pack your own snacks!

Seriously?! That's outrageous. I figured the view would be pricey, but I didn't expect that level of price gouging. I mean, a coffee should cost a coffee, not a small car payment. Good call on packing snacks next time – I'll definitely remember that. Maybe even a thermos of something warm... less likely to get spilled at that height, too!

Get a good map – seriously, a physical one. Those digital things can be unreliable in those tight lanes. Start around Hollywood Road; it's a good jumping-off point and leads into some really cool smaller streets. Just wander, honestly. Don't try to plan it all out. You'll stumble onto stuff way better that way. And don't be afraid to get a little lost; that's half the fun. Bring a portable charger for your camera, though – you'll be snapping away. Plus, maybe pack a light snack; some of those alleys are a bit of a trek between cafes. Have fun!
