As with everything else in Europe it seems all attractions are becoming prohibitively expensive. At 40 Euros, this is no exception, but it is a site that cannot be missed. We purchased our tickets in advance which is recommended ...skip the lines. We also got there early (9:30) and were off at noon. Crowds were relatively light and we beat the heat! The crowds were much larger as we were exiting. The visit was excellent with tremendous pictures. Walking the perimeter of the old city atop the walls is hard to beat. While there are lots of steps up and down, there were lots of opportunities to take a break. It is a lot easier to navigate this attraction at your own pace without crowds and heat. It is not hard to imagine the congestion in some places along the route with bigger crowds. Take lots of water and remember, not a lot of shade.
Even at 40 Euros, we recommend visiting this historical site.
