Ok, the castle (or actually a palace) is very nice from the outside - basically the renovations are behind us. Lots of nice vegetation, although the formal garden at the back of the castle is at its infancy. And everything points at above-average attraction ... just one small problem. Management. No online sales. No reservation available. It is not possible to visit individual facilities (stables, coach house). So even when you turn up in the morning, you can expect about 3 hours of waiting. Most people choose not to. Well, we are in the 21st century after all. Management, it would be fitting to wake up!

Th castle itself is magnificent as well as the garden and sourabdings. And this is not discutable. However the service is totally dissapointing...First of all buying ticket is some kind ofhorror...the sell by internet just does not work at al....so to be sure to ge in you have to come early in the morning and just queue....then while visiting the castle apartmets the rush which is performed by the persons watching the visitors is just unacceptable. That was my third visit to this castle, first time some thirty years ago, with my school trip, then some 15 yers ago showing the castle to my foreign friends and now presenting to my kids.... 1 hour and23 minutes ...two levels and the baths done..... no time to ask for any additonal info nr explanation...the service people just almost pushing the visitors to the next room and only playing the recorded info.....

The garden park around the castle is beautiful and huge, and especially well-kept.
Touring the castle itself is great, you can learn something about the history and spend a few hours at the castle. The ticket price also includes a tour of the stables, which are a little further behind the park.
For me, a good day spent with my family.
I was surprised by the number of electric robotic lawnmowers, but I have to say that it is a good idea (although the gardener has nothing to do, but during the tour of the castle when the windows are open, the lawnmowers do not drown out the interpretation).

This is a review about TRYING to visit this place. We visited Rzeszow and were recommended here. The website doesn't work. Always saying there are no tours available. On ringing, they didn't understand my English. I got the TI in Rzeszow to call them. They said get here at 0845, and we will try to fit you in as we only book group tours. ( its half an hour away in actaxi). What sort of outfit is this? Everywhere else in Poland, we have been met with graceful hospitality and genuine interest. Give this one a miss if they can't be bothered to accommodate you

Stayed at the castle for two nights in november,its a bit like going back fifty years in time, big rooms and very quaint.
The staff are polite and very helpful my only criticism was the central heating which was overcome by an additional duvet.
Good restaurant on the same site exceptional value for money

We recently travelled by taxi (73 zloty - around £15 each way) from Rzsezow to Lancut to see the Castle. The hotel booked the taxi for us - the taxi happily took us and dropped us off - neither being bothered to tell us that the place is under complete refurbishment until around 2020! We had checked on social media sites (including Trip Advisor) before we went. It's even saying on Trip Advisor today that it is open. Good Luck with that! We were left to wonder around an extremely muddy building site wondering why there was surreal Christmas carols being piped out of speakers at the rear of the empty, scaffolding-clad building. Very spooky and weird! By the way - we didn't visit on Christmas Day or any other day you might expect it to be closed. The majority of signs were in Polish - few catered for international visitors, except the large European Funding picture boards in the grounds explaining about the refurbishment. There were signs everywhere pointing to a non existent (not open) Ticket Office around the side - why weren't these covered with a sign saying NOT OPEN?! Lots of people seemed to be walking around aimlessly the same as us, trying to find a way in and looking very confused.
As you can imagine, it was a very disappointing, expensive and frustrating day out. If planning a visit any time in the future, I would get a reliable Polish source to first check it out and find out if it has re-opened. Do not rely, as we did, on social media/travel sites telling it was open. Maybe we should have tried the Tourist Information office in Rezszow before making the trip. They might have been better informed than the hotel or taxi drivers.

It is a beautiful castle in a lovely garden - but the museum is grossly mismanaged. We had to visit it on Monday: no entrance fee, but a ban on guides and absolutely no explanations as to what one sees. The same applies to the horse-carriage collection. The only sign was a misspelled info that the rest room costs some money.
Also: the ridiculous requirement of wearing awful overshoes, clearly a reminder of times past.
In brief: a potentially great place grossly reduced by the management.

This is one of the immense aristocratic residencies of Europe. We arrived in a rental car and parking next to the castle was a huge problem. Apparently parking is free and you can park pretty much everywhere. Finding the actual place to purchase our tickets was a somewhat of a challenge too. We expected huge crowds inside the castle, but we were nicely surprised. There were not so many people inside (there were huge crowds and schools groups everywhere outside). You have a choice of visiting together with a group with a Polish speaking guide, or with an own audioguide. The audioguide is slightly too detailed, but we enjoyed our visit. You can spend good 3 hours inside this castle and still not be done. Each room has its own character. There is also a lot to see in the park outside. We skipped the other museums due to lack of time, but I hear they are also amazing.

Lancut Castle is one of the well preserved historical buildings in Southern Poland. It is all about the noble family of Potocki, their lives and contributions to the culture.
Castle is also surrounded by beautiful gardens where both tourists and couples can be seen enjoying them.
If you happen to visit the castle, do not miss the opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful collections of horse drawn carriages. With over 50 carriages, there definitely is one for you to like.
We parked at the local square, just about 100 yards or so outside of the gardens.

Czy można po zamku spacerować z wózkiem dziecięcym?
Written August 30, 2019
myślę, że nie, nie ma możliwości poruszania się z wózkiem po korytarzach, schodach i salach, a "na dzień dobry" trzeba założyć na buty ochraniacze

Is the castle open? Planning to come in early July. Thanks
Written February 10, 2019
We travelled late December 2018 and it was closed - even when all the websites we researched (including TA) said it was OPEN, so don't believe all you are told. Best to ask a reputable Tourist Information Centre I guess, as neither the hotel nor the taxi driver were able to tell us different! It's no looking on the Castle's website - we did - it will tell you it's open when it's not. We paid an extortionate amount of money in taxi fares to get there and back from Rzeszow and saw nothing but a building site and lots of equally confused people wondering around the grounds in the mud and the cold looking for a way in, or a sign for information (in English too would have been good for tourists). We found a European Funding Board with pictures describing the expensive restoration taking place and it looked like it wouldn't be open for some months. But don't take my word for it. Do check. I will attempt to upload some pictures from the day we were there.

Czy w Łańcucie trzeba wykupić usługę przewodnicką? Będzie nas grupka znajomych. Czy obsługa czeka aż zbierze się więcej niż 11 osób, żeby puścić grupę z przewodnikiem?

nie trzeba wykupować przewodnika, można wykupić audioprzewodnik, polecam
