At this time of year the crowds are not bad, if you arrive by mid-morning you will be fine. You park and buy your tickets at the base of the hill, and when you buy your ticket you can specify the tour starting time. You can walk up the hill to the castle in about 15-20 minutes, or you can pay to ride to the top in a horse-drawn carriage. There are any number of cafes at the base of the hill, and another one just before you get to the castle. Spending 60-90 minutes in the castle area is more than enough to see everything. Make sure you hike along the path to the bridge over the gorge that gives you a great view of the castle. Although certainly a very touristy place, its worth a visit nevertheless. Enjoy.
