About Car Parking in the Castle Town Area🚗

You may not be able to park your car right in front of the facilities and restaurants, particularly in the castle town area. You will see very narrow streets, and shops are right next to each other, which is a part of the ancient strategic road building plan designed to prevent enemies from entering the castle directly.
