Though this dominating feature of the Old Town and city centre in some ways combines many attractions, the real attraction is the castle itself. One of the best things about the way it has been opened up and arranged is the mere fact that the visitor can move freely through a large portion of the structure.

For example, there are rooms and rooms of museum exhibits, which by themselves would not be exceptionally memorable. Fortunately, there are a number of windows through which to enjoy the castle’s magnificent views – and thanks to this diversion, even the humble exhibits come to life. Restoration work on this building has not gone the usual route of trying to recreate what the rooms looked like under Empress Maria Theresa or others. Instead, the chambers have been turned into corridors for the exhibits, and for those wonderful views.
