Sisäpiirin vinkit
- Wear sturdy shoes as cobbled floors and stairs can be uneven and slippery when wet.
- Capture golden hour photos from the battlements for dramatic views of the city and river.
- Skip weekdays mid-morning to avoid school groups and large tour crowds.
- Allow extra time in the interactive exhibition to fully enjoy the immersive experiences.
