## Quick answer

Plan for a 15-25 minute queue wait during morning peak hours (9:00-12:00).

## Detailed answer

When visiting Charging Bull during the morning peak between 9:00 and 12:00, it is advisable to plan for a queue wait of approximately 15 to 25 minutes. Having your camera ready to take your photo as you approach the Charging Bull will help keep the line moving efficiently. The Free Priority Photo Pass / Visitor Reservation system is designed to manage visitor flow, but actual wait times may vary based on sidewalk congestion. On weekdays, you can generally expect shorter wait times compared to weekends. To make the most of your visit, ensure you are prepared to take your photo quickly as you reach the front of the line.
