CONCERTGOERS, READ THIS I'm writing about our concert experience because I couldn't find this information myself before attending. There is no communication from the venue after ticket purchase and nothing on their website. There's nothing posted regarding what you can bring into the venue; based on our experience water bottles and cameras are prohibited, but strollers are okay. There was a bag inspection just after ticket validation. There are no lockers. There was zero information about when to arrive; I still don't know when they started checking tickets and letting people in. The website stated the night before that the fortress was closed as a tourist attraction early for the day, but nothing further. For the Sigur Ros concert, all public information stated that it began at 8 PM. The concert actually began at 9 PM. The coffee shop inside the venue effectively acts as concessions during the show (drinks only, no food). There were two bars operating; one took cards but one only cash. Note if you get a drink in a cup, they’ll give you a receipt to bring back with the cup and return a 2 euro deposit. SMOKING. Basically the entire concert-going audience was chainsmoking the entire time they were present. They even handed out little portable ashtrays on the way in. It's gross.

They also have some other operational issues such as lack of recycling bins--bottles and cans everywhere at end of show--and people sitting in the aisles during the performance, which is a fire hazard. The concert itself was amazing and the size of the venue is really magical, but if they're going to operate as a concert venue in addition to a tourist attraction, they should have information on the above readily available to...

I was incredibly disappointed by the level of accessibility available to wheelchair users. I visited with my family, including my mother who is in a wheelchair. There was very little signposting for the disabled access, the attendant working on the entrance refused to let us park our car near the entrance as this was considered a staff parking area despite multiple spaces being available. After I pushed my mother up the steep hill which was not designed to accommodate pedestrians, we found that the actual attraction was largely inaccessible. I was anticipating that an historic site would have access issues but the little that was available to disabled visitors was unimpressive, and the view, which is arguably the main attraction, was entirely inaccessible. I would suggest that the site is unsuitable for disabled visitors, and the staff attitude could be far more cooperative than we...

Twierdza ŚW Michała to absolutny "must have" dla odwiedzających Szibenik.

Do twierdzy dojść można starym miastem gdzie idąc małymi krętymi uliczkami pokonujemy wiele małych schodków. Początek tej podróży już jest fascynujący ponieważ można sobie obejrzeć po drodze kościół ŚW Jakuba oraz pooglądać przepięknie przyozdobione mury starego miasta oraz kilka innych zabytków. W kasie są różne opcje biletowe od pojedynczych za osobę dorosła lub dziecko do biletu rodzinnego z którego ja skorzystałem. 140 kun za dwie osoby i nielimitowane liczbę dzieci jak twierdził miły kasjer. Obsługa przy kasie w języku angielskim oraz chorwackim. Innych nie sprawdzałem. Po wejściu na ruiny pierwsze co mnie pozytywnie zaskoczyło to czystość utrzymania fortecy. Żadnych papierków, niedopałków czy leżących innych śmieci. Mury zadbane nie sypiące się więc przyjemnie się je zwiedza. Następną sprawą są widoki, im wyżej wychodząc jest tylko lepiej. Pierwsze co widzimy zanim wjedziemy na najwyższe punkty widokowe to nabrzeże i promenade na której widać życie miasta oraz łódki kołyszące się będąc zacumowanymi. Idąc dalej dochodzimy do sceny która umieszczona jest centralnie w twierdzy. Jest to scena na różnego rodzaje imprez i przestawień. Nowe krzesełka są wygodne i wszystko jest zadbane. Wchodząc na samą górę możemy stanąć w 3 miejscach gdzie rozlega się panorama miasta. Czerwone dachy budynków robią niesamowite wrażenie i pięknie wyglądają podczas zachodu słońca z resztą jak całe miasto. Nie działała niestety luneta z której chciały skorzystać dzieci to taki jedyny mały minus. Opisy na punktach widokowych są po Angielsku i Chorwacku. W środku można zwiedzić zabytki architektury takie jak piec do wypiekania chleba i kilka innych. Są także tablice informacyjne z wiadomościami o życiu w tamtych czasach. Jest co czytać. Dwie gabloty z wizerunkiem żołnierza z bronią. Nie można nie wspomnieć i dwóch pomieszczeniach w których są prezentowane animacje z projektorów pokazujące jak wyglądało życie i skąd pochodzą różne przedmioty itd. Warto przystać na parę chwil i pooglądać szczególnie że jest harmonogram kiedy firmy się rozpoczynają. Można się zaopatrzyć w pamiątkę, cen nie weryfikowałem. Jest także kawiarnia w której można coś wypić itp. Nie jest to może jakaś wielka twierdza ale idąc spokojnie spacerem i podziwiając widoki z kilkuminutowymi przystankami można miło i spokojnie spędzić czas, szczególnie podczas zachodu słońca.

Zdecydowanie polecam odwiedzającym Szibenik.

Jest jeszcze druga twierdza 15 minut piechotą od drugiej, jeszcze wyżej od tej więc widoki zapewne są jeszcze ciekawsze. Można kupić bilet łączony na dwie twierdze razem-160kun (bilet rodzinny), jest wtedy...
