In-Depth Information
If you're in great shape, consider scrambling along the walls and turrets above the Old
Town.
Cost and Hours: Entry to the walls is €3 May-Oct daily 8:00-20:00; otherwise they're
free.
Hiking the Walls: If you go all the way up to the top fortress and back again, it'll
take around an hour and a half round-trip (depending on how fast you go). This involves
climbing1,355steps(anelevationgainofmorethan700feet)—don'toverestimateyouren-
durance or underestimate the heat. (“Am-I- that -out-of-shape?” tourists routinely find them-
selves winded and stranded high above town.) Bring plenty of water, along with a hat and
sunscreen, and wear sturdy shoes. Most of the way, there's both a ramp and uneven stairs,
but the route is in poor repair, with a lot of rough, rocky patches.
