    Certainly enough for a full day here and plenty of space for everyone. Couple of parts are guided tours (every 15 mins from memory) so we found it useful to tick these things off first and then rest of day is free. I think I counted 3 cafes on site at various locations, site is a bit hilly so you'll be walking up ans down hills. Really interesting site with tons of history upto WW2 and great view of Dover port and chanel and on a clear day you can see Calais.

    (Translated by Google) We were in Dover with AIDA. Due to a change of route we stayed 2 days and decided to visit Dover Castle. It was definitely worth it. A very impressive facility. The guided tours through the underground tunnels are also worthwhile, even if there can be longer waiting times. (Original) Wir waren mit AIDA in Dover. Aufgrund einer Routenänderung sind wir 2 Tage geblieben und haben uns für den Besuch von Dover Castle entschieden. Es hat sich auf jeden Fall gelohnt. Eine sehr beeindruckende Anlage. Auch die Führungen durch die unterirdischen Tunnel sind Lohnenswert, auch wenn es hier zu längeren Wartezeiten kommen kann.
