рддреНрд╡рд░рд┐рдд рддрдереНрдп: Perched about 500 meters above the town, the fortress dominates the skyline and gives you sweeping views across rooftops and the Alps. A short funicular or a steep 20-minute walk gets you up the hill, where thick stone walls and original cannons make the past feel instantly present.
рдореБрдЦреНрдп рдЖрдХрд░реНрд╖рдг: Hop on the funicular, installed in 1892, for a creaky, postcard-perfect ascent as the valley unfurls beneath you. Peek into the prince-archbishop's private chambers where a banquet table seats precisely twelve, and imagine wax-lit air filled with the scent of roasted meat and pipe smoke.

- Wear sturdy shoes, cobbled paths and uneven steps are common on the ramparts.
- Head to the Festungsgasse ramparts facing the old town for the best sunrise and sunset photos.
- Skip long guided tours when short on time, the audio guide and museum rooms cover highlights efficiently.
