点评:Rounding off our holiday with walking the walls & so glad we did. With an injury & arthritic knees I wasn't sure we would manage but once up the 5 wide steps at the entrance point we could see it was going to be worth the effort, aided by my tracking poles I enjoyed the full length, uneven & gravelly in parts you have to look where you're walking but the views are amazing.
You do get a real sense of the fortification with walls so thick it felt substantial even now. As walking you look down on & close to the residential area I assume the opening times of 12 noon to 3pm Mon to Fri may have something to do with observing the privacy of those residents which is very reasonable although I've not read that it's just my thoughts.
We got to the end to find the uneven steep steps down onto the road ( handrail starts a little way down) deciding it wasn't wise for me to attempt them. Although we had consulted at the ticket office & with the attendant at the start the exit wasn't mentioned but the attendant at the exit kindly rang back to the start to explain my difficulty & arranged for us to walk back the way we had come to exit at the start by the Palace so, we got to enjoy the views twice & had allowed enough time to get back before closing which was lucky.
Well worth a visit & the 5 euros pp
翻译:假期以漫步城墙完美收官,我们真是太庆幸做了这个决定。由于受伤和膝关节炎,我原本担心我们无法完成,但一踏上入口处那五级宽阔的台阶,我们就意识到一切努力都是值得的。借助登山杖,我顺利地走完了全程。虽然有些路段崎岖不平,布满碎石,需要时刻注意脚下,但沿途的景色令人叹为观止。
城墙厚实坚固,即使在今天,依然给人一种坚固无比的感觉,让人真切地感受到这座堡垒的雄伟气势。漫步城墙,可以俯瞰近处的居民区,我猜想周一至周五中午12点至下午3点的开放时间可能是为了保护居民的隐私,这非常合理,虽然我没有查阅相关资料,但这只是我的个人想法。
走到尽头,我们发现通往公路的台阶陡峭不平(扶手在稍远的地方才有),于是我决定还是不要尝试走下去。虽然我们在售票处和入口处的工作人员都咨询过,但他们都没有提到出口。不过,出口处的工作人员很热心地打电话给入口处,解释了我的情况,并安排我们原路返回,从宫殿旁的出口离开。这样,我们得以欣赏两次美景,而且幸运的是,我们预留了足够的时间在闭馆前返回。
非常值得一游,门票每人5欧元。
