Spectacular facade, the night view is a MUST see one. Finding the entrance is easy enough, big staircase leading underground.
To explore the gigantic egg, you'll need to have a ticket though, passing a security checks and cannot bring any camera with you (otherwise they'll ask you to outside along with the coats). After that do gaze up when you're walking under as you can see the water flows, stop by the theatre history, construction exhibit and work your way up to the main hall.
I do advise to get the tickets through official channels, do exercise caution with the guys outside offering "tickets".
The decor is as magnificent and "spacious", the ceiling is covered by oak wood.
There is a nice cafe by the corner if you would like to chat, just be careful not to raise your voice too loud, as the wall is designed to vibrate sounds.
