loved the dramatic feel of this castle. great views over the city. well preserved. gift shop was a bit disappointing, catered mainly to children. torture exhibition was extensive....and gruesome!

You can get here with tram 1 or 4, in direction of the city centre. In here you will see a small museum of medieval weapons and armors and torture apparatus. you will also like the high parts of the castle, ideal for a picture of the city, and the towers. I can remeber if it is 6 or 8... More

The castle was really pretty and had lots of good photo opportunities especially from the highest parts. The displays were interesting and informative.

Excellent tour can be made in this medieval and well preserved castle. Not much furniture, but an interesting dispaly of torture practices in the past.

Spent a few hours touring the castle and enjoyed it. It's an extraordinarily well-restored castle dating back to medieval times with plentiful exhibits.

While you can get some great views of the castle by just walking around it, you would miss what's contained inside which can be visited in about an hour's time. The castle is very compact but full of interesting... More

Growing up in Texas I’ve never had the opportunity to see a castle so this was extremely interesting to me. I enjoyed the entire experience and would highly recommend it to people with school age children (4th grade and up). Just be mindful that there are dangerous areas without guardrails. Would not recommend to people with limited mobility, they may... More
