Teave
Kiired faktid: The castle boasts massive stone walls and imposing towers that once hosted medieval courts and grim dungeons. You can still spot original torture devices inside, reflecting a raw slice of medieval justice and power struggles.
Esiletõstmised: An underground passage once connected the castle to the old city walls allowing secretive movement during sieges. Visitors can climb its rugged battlements for panoramic views where you can almost hear the echoes of knights and medieval life.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Wear comfortable shoes as uneven stone floors and stairs are common inside.
- Head to the battlements for the best photo opportunity of the city skyline.
- Avoid weekends and school holidays to dodge the busiest times.
- Skip guided tours if on a tight schedule; informative plaques offer self-guided insights without the wait.
Kas oled kuulnud tasuta jalutuskäikudest?
Pärast reisimist üle 30 riigi on üks asi, mida sooviksin, et keegi oleks mulle esimesest päevast peale öelnud, ja see muutis täielikult minu linnakogemust.
Tasuta jalutuskäigud. Jah, tõesti tasuta. Kaarti ei ole vaja. Püüniseid pole.
Kohalik giid, 2-3 tundi
Peamised vaatamisväärsused, peidetud pärlid, kohalikud lood
100% jootraha põhine
Giidid teenivad ainult jootraha, seega annavad nad parima
Sa annad jootraha nii palju kui tunned õigeks
Lõpus annad lihtsalt jootraha nii palju kui tunned õigeks
Olen neid teinud paljudes linnades ja need on olnud peaaegu iga reisi tipphetk. Kui külastad Gent, Belgium, tee seda esimesel päeval. Sa tänad mind hiljem.
