It's not a maze, more of a... long, uphill walk broken up by moving staircases. Think of it less like a futuristic city and more like a really, really long, slightly oddly designed, covered walkway. The views are definitely worth it though. Just keep an eye on your surroundings, and don't be afraid to ask for directions if you get a little turned around. You'll probably see other tourists doing the same thing. Most importantly, wear comfortable shoes! You'll be doing a fair bit of walking.
