Enter the old fortress before or after public hours with a private historian guide, having the ramparts and courtyards largely to yourselves.
What to expect
You'll arrive at a specially arranged time when the fortress is largely closed to the public, walking the ramparts and towers with space to actually take in the views. Your guide weaves in stories of sieges, trade, and the families who once lived there. It ends at a lookout point ideal for photos.
Good to know
Special access must be arranged at least a week in advance due to limited scheduling. Bring layers - the ramparts can be windy even in warm weather.
