The beauty of the site can only really be fully experienced by visiting it as upon going there, it is a great atmosphere.
There are many things to do once there. You can take a boat ride around the site which lasts for approximately 45 minutes. For people not too fond of ... ...around the location.

Advantages: Great historic site to see Disadvantages: To many people there at a time
