Camera Obscura
Just before the Castle, lies the Camera Obscura, a very unique attraction indeed. A world of illusions lie inside and for once "fun for all the family" is totally justified (even teenagers enjoy it). There's so much to see and it is hugely entertaining and informative. Great for a rainy day, great for a sunny day (the camera works best on bright days). Check out tripadvisor for reviews. Note: no elevator and there are many stairs to climb. |
