An absolute highlight. The tour was excellent. The guide was friendly and informative, and it is definitely worth the extra charge to take photos of the magnificent rooms.

The citadel is reached by a climb of 1480 stairs (time to climb the stairs: 30 min). The view from the citadel it’s amazing. I suggest to make the effort! Excellent for a small hike. It took me about 15 min to climb - rather running than walking).

What a lovely place Queen Mary and King Ferdinand built! Intimate, cosy, charming. The touch of this great couple can be seen in this whole castle. The heart of the queen rests in the Golden Room. One of the most charming castles I have visited.

This castle is a little jewel. It is very beautiful. You can take the tour from hour to hour or just visit the gardens and the outside. On the inside, sadly most of it was changed by the communists in a bad way and they also stoled the furniture and pieces of artwork..a terrible shame. Upstairs is a beautiful art gallery with some very fine and original works ( about cartoons, fairytales and animation). I hope it will be restored completely!
