Tourist Train
A great way to see this beautiful ancient Citadel & learn about its history
In summer the small train will take you around the Citadel and point out some of the attractions and tell you about the history of the town. It is the perfect way to explore the area, especially for those with small children or problems with mobility. The tours still go ahead in the winter and off season although they are less frequent so it is worth checking the times in advance with the tourist office.
