We bought the tickets online. We approached the guides with the blue and white umbrellas on the castle grounds to find out the starting point of the tour. And it was actually these guides who described the route to us and provided us with a small map. The view of the city from the castle grounds is magnificent. There is a lot of construction going on at the castle itself and not everything was as accessible as expected. All in all, however, it was very worthwhile.

Ho utilizzato questa audioguida per visitare tutta l'area del castello e mi sono trovata molto bene. Il percorso era semplice da seguire, grazie anche al navigatore e alla mappa integrata, e le spiegazioni chiare ed esaustive. Ho apprezzato in particolare la parte dedicata al Vicolo d’Oro, ricca di informazioni interessanti sulle case. Nel complesso un’esperienza comoda, pratica e conveniente, che mi ha permesso di scoprire i luoghi principali, con qualche curiosità, senza perdermi nulla di importante.
