Get there right when they first open. You’ll have the castle mainly to yourself for a bit before the crowds of tour buses show up. It’s an absolutely beautiful castle. With even more incredible views! The footing can be uneven. So watch where you’re stepping. I nearly fell a few times while walking through doorways and not realizing they weren’t level. The only disappointing thing was the top of the berth at the very end of the audio tour. I was hoping to be able to go outside and walk around the top of the berth and have beautiful views of the lake/mountains. Unfortunately you climb to the top and are in an enclosed room with small widows with netting over them. So you’re unable to really enjoy the views or take pictures. Maybe this will change if they were up due to the construction/renovation. But, as of now, it was kind of an anti-climatic end of the tour.

My favourite castle we visited! So much available to see inside. Audio guide was totally worth it, very informative! Public bathrooms located inside the castle at the entrance.
