Consider buying your tickets online in advance. I did this and avoided a long line at the entrance, which saved me so much time!

I think you should definitely allocate extra time for the gardens. They are just as beautiful as the palace itself and perfect for a peaceful stroll.

if you're on a budget, skip the restaurants near the fortress. head down to town instead for some yummy and cheap local eats - way better!

Bring water and some snacks with you. There's not much around the fortress, and you’ll want to stay hydrated while exploring those steep paths.

Don’t forget your camera for the sunset! I thought I’d missed it, but I was lucky enough to catch it just in time – sooo worth it!

I suggest getting there by 8 AM to beat the crowds and enjoy some quiet moments while taking photos. Trust me, the early morning light is awesome for pics.

I recommend wearing comfy shoes because the castle walls and pathways can be uneven. I didn’t and ended up regretting it after a while!

I suggest visiting in the late afternoon around 4 PM. The lighting is beautiful for photos, and it's less crowded, so you can explore at your own pace.
