Favorite thing: do what you came here for, what else? But before crossing the walls it's better to walk all the way around the castle: there's a quiet park with a pond that encircles it, where you can even see some swans.

It`s hot & humid here in the summertime. It can get unbearable at times. If you can`t take it & need a break, go into one of the department stores near the station & cool off!
