There can be queues, but then everyone stops at the first booth they see at the top of the hill on the way in - there are others which should be quieter.

Hi,

We bought them at the castle on the day - the queues can be a pain though! Try and find one of the other ticker kiosks - people tend to queue at the first one on the way in (top of the hill by the main gate).

Cheers,

Yes you can do a self guides tour and hire the audio guide for a small price. Unfortunately you cannot visit the state rooms without a guide which we did and it is worth it. After our visit to the state rooms we then just toured the cathedral and the bell tower ourselves. It is recommended to go to the top of the bell tower where it is said to be lucky for women if they touch the clanger, especially the ones that are not married yet. It is a bit of a climb up old wooden stairs but well worth it when you get to the top. The ticket office is directly opposite the cathedral.

We loved the place and sure you will too as long as the weather is nice for you.

Go early in the morning (8.30 am) get the tickets and get the audio headphones , it helps too much to understand the amazing history of the castle.(not expensive)

Yes it is not necessary to go with private tours(expensive)

You can do your own thing. You only require to pay for certain attractions (state apartments etc). Tickets can be purchased on site. Go early. Enjoy

You need to buy a ticket to enter the castle and the cathedral. This is available at the ticket office within the walls on the right side, opposite the cathedral. But hey these early as they include an entry time

There is a self guided tour recording device which we found really good

This is available to hire for a small cost and is worth it

It is free to walk the castle grounds. Which is already very nice.

Yes you can just walk through except for the State Rooms I believe. They are closed and only open when you get a tour. Buy your ticket early! They are sometimes for specific entry times.

There is more than 1 ticket booth in the castle grounds, you can but tickets for the exhibits that you wish to see whilst missing those that do not interest you as much therefore only paying for the sights you really want to see.

You can do a self guided tour which is what we did, although we invested in headphones which gave interesting commentary when in the cathedral.

It does get crowded so I suggest you get there early.

You can do part of it for free but to see inside eg the state apartments you need to walk back to the entrance to buy your ticket,

. I think you can get a self tour audio guide
