Beautiful castle, as student you got to pay 3.5 euro's to enter. As adult the entry is 5 euro. Yet it's worth visiting since you get the possibility to visit some other part next to the castle as well. On the castle you get a beautiful view over the sea. Inside there are a few video's which explain more about the castle and it's history.

Great seaside views and beaches. The city streetscapes are amazing inside the city walls. New and historical buildings are harmonic with each other. Just lovely!

Amazing views and some beautiful little back streets with little gift shops all around. Not tried any of the bars or restaurants but from what I saw there is plenty of options and I'm sure that they are lovely
