Nice place to visit for a family. Kids can play in the park near the castle.

Beautiful piece of history. I really like this place and I loved walking around city centre as well and seeing the area around the Castle. Although I did not go in the castle but I would say that the whole nearby area and the lake were quite beautiful as well. Plus, there is a nearby pizza place, great pizza.

Very nice to wander around- we didn’t go inside, no idea if you can. We came for the Vetternrönda and slept nearby . It’s very beautifully set at the lake

It's a beautiful old castle and the entry price isn't too bad. Pay once and you have until closing to walk around and explore all you want. There's plenty of parking and there's also a little shop you can have a look around in

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
