Great view of the city. There is also a nice park to walk around in. The view is supposed to be better in the winter because of the lack of leaves. Well worth the trek up the hill.

This is a historic castle overlooking the city. It is located at the highest point and is a must-must for any visitors. It is better to visit this site during the day rather than at night.

A must to see, but then again, only if you are interested in history and stories.. We could have spent more time, but the temperature and wind did not allow us for more than a short stay....

Easy to find nice walk even when its very cold, saw a few squirrels on the way. Just use you common sense and keep walking up and use the few signs or ask the locals.

I found it a bit challenging and confusing to reach to the place from the city center on foot. So its better to have your street map to avoid any confusion. Its a pleasant walk to the top. With no entrance fee, the views from the top are wonderful. Avoid going up there during rain as there is no shad... More

While going up we met a couple of guys with trained eagles and we made the mistake to listen to them, we touched the eagles and took some pictures, only to find out that they wanted... More

This is worth the trek up the hill to see the views in the daytime and nighttime - but dress warm in winter.
