Castle courtyards, cloak bridge and Baroque garden

Without a ticket you can walk the castle courtyards, which climb one after another up the rock, and the cloak bridge (Plášťový most), a three-storey viaduct with covered galleries over a ravine, with one of the views of the town. After the fifth courtyard begins the Baroque garden, from the seventeenth century, with fountains, parterres and the Rococo Bellaria pavilion, which opens only in season. Go early: the groups arrive mid-morning.
