Their website says that it closes at 10pm, and the last departure is 30 mins before closing. Therefore you would want to be travelling up well before the last departure down at 9.30pm. There is a rather long windy path from the top of the cable car station down to the town, but be wary how dark it would be .

You can stay up at the scenic point as long as you want. The cable cars run all day. I can’t remember what time they shut down, though

Cable car is going every few minutes, ride is 2min long i think, we got there 1h before sunset and there was no line to wait. There is restaurant up there, you can reserve your seat few days before and nobody can take your sunset away :) dinning tables are best to watch sunset with a glass of wine :)

Don’t think it’s that far from the cruise ships, I would book the restaurant well in advance as it gets busy. I would also recommend requesting a table at the front so you get the views. Timing your booking to catch the sunset during your meal is well with it. If you they’ll them it’s for a celebration you also get a glass of fizz on arrival

I bought a ticket online in August, and it was valid until the end of that month. It should say on the ticket, ours did. Hope this helps.

The average temperature in January is 11 degrees centigrade with a 20% chance of rain which is still quite warm. I think all of the attractions are open all year round. The cable car is closed only when it is too windy.

The queues for going both up and down (only 2 cable cars with around 25 passengers on each trip) could be the worst part of it. Depends how pegnant - and how easily tired you become.
