We got to the castle ca. 5 minutes before it opened to avoid the abnormally long queues to the ticket office, even though we had bought tickets in advance. Luckily for us you didn't even have to queue if you pre-purchased tickets, YAY! :D The visit started with the free tour they arrange for the visit...
