Beautiful place with gorgeous views, however, we bought tickets that included the night light show but after waiting until sunset we found out there would be no night show! Other people had the same experience. It needs ti be more clear in the website when the night light show is not occurring.

Everything went very well, no queue, you get straight to the entrance. Beautiful castles each with their own originality both in the interior and in the gardens, one more beautiful than the other.
