Greg_S, Jun 2025

We did this as a filler-day and very glad we added it to the itinerary. It is another beautiful location with a lot of history. The castle is not like what you imagine compared to other European medieval locations or in the movies. It's simple in many ways, and provided a new perspective of my imagery and understanding of its time period in this area of the world. Best word may be - illuminating. We had seniors with us, so I would like to provide awareness that this is not the best location to visit if you have a hard time getting around. The roads are old style coble stone, like downtown Helsinki, and there are more inclines to traverse. It's not terribly difficult, but be aware if traveling with seniors because it will slow them down. Tour guide was very well informed, and driver, Mathew, was very personable.
