ACCESS
- The museum can be visited in parts. In addition to the general admission, there is a separate ticket for visiting the towers only, and a ticket to visit only the bastion passages and the Carved Stone Museum.
- Download the AUDIOGUIDE: App Store and Google Play.
- The Bastion passages can be visited on your own, independently, without a special tour. On the other hand, you can book a guided tour of the spot.
- Please note that temperature in the passages is 10-12 °C throughout the year and we have to navigate some rather steep stairs, so please dress appropriately!
- We do not recommend taking children under the age of 7 to the Bastion passages. It is also not recommended to visit the passages for people who are afraid of closed spaces, have limited mobility, or have balance disorders or dizziness.
- Unfortunately, due to the historic nature of the buildings, wheelchair access is not available. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
- Be careful on the stairs, the steps have uneven height and can be slippery!
HOW TO GET HERE
