This is a lovely castle to walk by, but I have to say we did not bother to enter, as the lines were too long and the weather wasn't perfect for that. Still, it gives several photo ops, especially to fans of the "Angels and demons" movie. The surroundings of the castle are rather poorly maintained with numerous beggers, food... More

We skipped the audio tour and I don't think we missed much. I read about the place before we came so we knew what we were looking at.
