Step inside the ancient citadel before the crowds arrive, guided by a specialist historian who brings millennia of stories to life. An exclusive pre-opening access experience that no general visitor can replicate.
What to expect
Your expert guide meets you pierside at first light and whisks you to the citadel gates before general admission opens. Walking the ramparts in golden silence, you'll hear the layered history of each carved stone and strategic battlement. A private terrace reveals a panoramic view over the old city that few visitors ever witness. The experience concludes with a curated tasting of local pastries at a nearby heritage café.
