    Ticket ordering through headout was very easy!!! The castle was impressive!!!! Definitely worth the visit. The gardens were grand, which in itself was impressive. It was not particularly beautiful, but grand.

    I bought all the tickets to the castles and it worked perfect, very agile, fast and without queuing. I recommend it 100%. I took the printed tickets but you can also take them on your cell phone.

    Nel questionario soprastante dovreste includere la voce "altro,". La visita ai castelli è andata bene ma il risparmio (5€:in 2) x l'acquisto dei biglietti non vale lo sbattimento. Dato che ha maggio non c'è folla consiglio l'acquisto del biglietto sul posto
