Tourist: Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the castle from here? Local: Sure! Walk straight down this road for about five minutes until you reach the fountain. Turn left there, and you will see the castle at the top of the hill. Tourist: Is it a steep walk? Local: It is a bit steep, yes. If you prefer, there is a shuttle bus that goes up every fifteen minutes. The bus stop is right next to the fountain. Tourist: How much is the shuttle? Local: It is two euros each way, or three euros for a return ticket. But honestly, the walk is beautiful and there are nice views along the way. Tourist: I think I will walk up and take the bus back down. How long does it take to walk? Local: About twenty minutes at a comfortable pace. There are benches along the path if you need to rest. Enjoy the castle, it is really worth the visit!
