You will be able to see where the castle is on what is known as the old part of the city and you will see a road climbing up into that area. The road is full of little touristy shops selling souvenirs. You will also see many restaurants. If you follow the road all the way you will come to a church and you will see that there is a set of stairs which double back towards the castle. That is the fastest way to the Castle and it will be sign posted. There are other ways to the Castle but they involve trial and error.
