Highly recommend

When you first walk into the castle, it is kinda a hike to get to the top and looks a little underwhelming. HOWEVER, once to the starting floors, there are some of the most gorgeous rooms and insane views. There are so many pathways that connect and keep transporting to new and interesting things. There is even a cafe you can get a snack and drink at. At top, there is a gorgeous view that allows you to see so much of the city and is 100% worth it. I will note however, it is not very handicap accessible. There is elevator down but not on the way up and my grandmother struggled a bit.

Nicola Michetti!

Turns out I learned a distant relative of mine helped create the statue of St. Michael the Archangel, Nicola Michetti!

Enriching visit but difficult access, too many intermediaries

Difficult to find the meeting point for ticket pickup. The explanation is brief.

Interesting history - go for the VIEW!

Better than expected. Some good rooms to see, fairly demanding steps, the view from the top was worth the ticket cost!
