Stunning and incredibly beautiful view from the medieval fortress. It's simply mesmerizing! It feels like the world is at your feet. Photos of this beauty of nature and these emotions simply do not betray. I recommend visiting the old city and all possible observation platforms

A fantastic view! A gondola also goes up. The narrow and sometimes steep streets are full of small shops and restaurants. You have to see this.
