It was actually pretty cool. A bit expensive, they charge you 7.50 euro a person just to walk up the steep footpath. Most of the neat siderooms were locked so you couldnt even go in them, but the views are definitely worth it from the top. Make sure you go on the audio 'guided' tour to get the best view... more

We did not want to tire ourselves needlessly since we had... more

If you don't want to hike up, you can take the funicular up from the old city. It costs about €7 to get in (€10 with the funicular), but if you... more
