Insider tips

  • Wear sturdy shoes, paths are uneven and can be slippery after rain.
  • Bring a windproof layer, ridge is exposed and gets chilly at sunset.
  • Head up early morning or after sunset to avoid midday tour groups and get softer light for photos.
  • For the best views, shoot from the southern ramparts near the St. Nicholas Church courtyard; skip busy souvenir stalls at the base.
