Great Castle surrounded by long fortress. The best way to explore this place is to take a walk through edges of these walls.

The castle is fun - make sure you check out the summer festival - well worth the visit. Free internet for tourist if needed - a quick signup procedure - and no spam following you around after - so safe to use. Know your prices some items are a good deal.

Amazing castle in a lovely town, functions now as a hotel and a restaurant. The restaurant is a bit pricey but the food and the service is adequate to that. You can walk all around the castle wall. Wander around the town, its streets and buildings are truly picturesque.
