Amazing history!!!
★★★★★
Amazing history!!! Be prepared to climb stairs and navigating crowds though! It’s probably bigger than you thought and it’s well preserved. It is worth getting at tour to skip the line and listening to the history.

Absolutely iconic place to visit. Yes very busy but no real queue with none guided ticket. The small museum section is worth reading. My 21 year old daughter loved it here
