We took easiest zone (green) that was enough stairs for us. We also received a pensioner discount on presentation of our Australian Seniors card. All the information signs are in Serbian and English. On the hour a guide inside the palace will give a summary of the fortress in English. The entrance fee is reasonable for the fortress and off road parking.

A fortress from a fairy tale. Worth visiting. It is divided into several zones depending on the difficulty of access. We visited only the most accessible one. Those who would like to climb the hard-to-reach parts of the fortress should be aware that there may be poisonous snakes on those rocks. The warnings are clear. The interior is nicely decorated and the activities are well organized. The view of the Danube and Romania is wonderful.

We came here during our Danube River cruise. Though its timings are 10 to 6 in July, but when we reached here at 10 PM, it was open. May be specially for our cruise group. It looked marvelous in the night, fully lighted. It was built in early 14th century on a steep cliff above the Djerdap Gorge and it has got a long history behind it. It has got ten towers and a palace in three compounds surrounded by thick walls. There were many ancient arms, artefacts and dresses inside which were worth watching. Our guide briefly told us about all these things in the museum. Afterwards we were given some free time to explore on our own, but we avoided it as there were steep steps to go on top. Those who went up liked the view immensely. It is one of the most well preserved fortress in Europe. Worth seeing.
