Newest Review: ... evening as you get to see the skyline in lights. We decided to do it in the morning as we had other plans for the night skyline. The easiest way to get to the Peak is by the Peak Tram. This tram travels the 378 metres up the peak on a system that has been running since 1888. It is very safe and cheap.
