The neglect is shameful and humiliating. The tour guides do their best as ambassadors, but everything is dirty and the weeds in the walls tell their own story. It makes it difficult to boast about th…Full review by Kathleen S

Castle Tour with a castle guide is on the hour i think. The key ceremony us at 10 followed by the 1st canon fire, then 11 and 12 another fire. Think sunday amd Mondays they do not fire the gun. Do not know about the key ceremony. No need to book anything in advance. Best is to do with a castle guide who get tips from the guests. Or get a tour guide who can do a city tour and you get a broader experience of bits and pieces of town. Time at castle normally 1 to 1.5 hours.
