Beautiful castle ruins, and amazing views overlooking the ocean and city. The museum show was great addition after visiting the castle. Great way to spend a couple of hours.

Love 360 panoramic views. Admission fee included round trip car rides to the uphill entrance of the Ruin. The ruin was serene and beautiful until the large group of primary school field trip was there😅.

Such a nice place to visit! Everyone was so helpful. I took a taxi and got dropped of at the entrance, however, you need to purchase a ticket at the building across the street, not the gift shop, the museum part. I was greeted kindly and helped immediately. The ticket came out to less than $5 USD and you get a pamplet about the ruins. It is so worth visiting. A gentleman even took me on a golf cart up the hill to see the ruins. Stunning views, and there are different plaques to describe the castle. Easily walkable! Make sure to visit the gift shop, by the building where you bought the ticket and also near the parking area. A very nice lady even helped me get a taxi back as I was having trouble with my phone. They have very cute souvenirs, snacks, and even drinks for purchase. There are places to eat and use a bathroom if needed. Very thankful for everyone's help and kindness!

Inexpensive ticket for entry and plenty of parking. The museum at the beginning is very cool and contains loads of interactive information. The walk up to the ruins is beautiful and seeing everything up close was amazing. The view at the top is gorgeous, if you're in the area I highly recommend stopping by.
