Reviews

The castle is up on top of the hill so the views are great. The structure has some interesting history. It is relatively small so not much time is needed to take it all in.

If you have people with you with difficulty walking, drop them off further up the hill towards the castle entrance and then double back to park in the parking lot. The climb from the lot can be tough on older folks, as it goes straight up the hill.

Take the tour- the guides are so good at what they do. Little tip- the 'official' car park is €4.50. On street parking is much cheaper than that, so don't waste your money-park on the street!!
