It is a long walk up many stairs to the castle, but if you want an amazing view of the lake and surrounding areas, it is well worth it. The museum inside the castle does not have much to offer, but it is worth a brief browsing nonetheless if you are interested in how the lake and surrounding areas came... More

Even if you are not interested in the exhibit of the history of the castle, this is a must for the views - truly breath-taking. If you are really into hiking you can walk up from the town below. However, there is a parking lot near the castle which I recommend. There are still plenty of steps to give you... More

I loved this castle! not only was it beautiful but it's right on lake bled and you have a great view for photos. Inside there's not a ton of art but the art/artifacts that are there, are very unique. My favorite part was the jewelry section. More

Its a long way up if you walk from Bled, but worth the walk. Its a lot smaller inside than it looks for the outside. Lovely views over the lake and Bled. History museum very interesting, wine cellar nice wine More

Among a few other things that make Bled's attractions, yes ! The Bled Castle or locally known as The Old Town, errected on top of a high cliff, in its original, modest form back in 1004, dominates the Bled Lake landscape. May compete in charm with the islet and St Mary church on the Lake or the Alpes mountain range... More

The view is great, but there is not much as far as histroical furnishings, etc. for the castle. They have a display that follows the development of the area with rocks and articles found. The wine cellar is a sale point and at the printing shop they show you an example of old time printing, but would like to sell... More
