O
Rýchle fakty: 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.
Zaujímavosti: 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.
Insiderské tipy
- 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.

Robil som tieto prehliadky v desiatkach miest a boli vrcholom takmer každej cesty. Ak navštívite Gent, Belgium, urobte to v prvý deň. Poďakujete mi neskôr.
