I recommend exploring the gardens around the castle; they’re super beautiful, especially in spring when all the flowers bloom. It's a nice break from the castle itself!

My advice is to grab a map at the entrance. It really helped me figure out the best routes in the castle and I avoided wandering around aimlessly.
