The city tour bus is a great way to see everything!!
Not far from the hotel. Bit of an uphill walk (it is at the highest point after all).
Bring ear plug as the noon time cannon firing and the optional "Ready, Aim, Fire" of an authentic Snider-Enfield rifle can get very loud.
It's a good uphill hike for pedestrians to the Citadel. Signage is not great; look for the red signs.
Closed at 5 so only walked up hill.
