“The Castel it’s centrally located, the structure stands out and can be seen from far away. It looks quite nice but. I picked up the tickets easily from the tour representative. Went inside easy due to priority entrance. There is a path to follow through the whole castel with some quick exits if needed. The whole place is well laid out and with quite a few things to see. The views from the top is amazing as well. Definitely worth a trip.”
