“Have to travel by bus (and pay €2.90pp) approximately 7 minutes from the castle parking lot to the ticket office to pick up physical tickets. For the cost of double the entry fee they should be brought to the parking lot. Other than that everything else was great and the ticket office representative was extremely helpful giving out maps and advice.”
