No booking is necessary. You just show up and wait your turn. It's only a five minute ride to the castle. I forget what we paid, but it was very little - a few Euros. It's a castle set on a high hill in a river. You take a boat to get there and then climb and climb. We waited a short bit for the boatsman to get back from lunch, and it was worth it.
