An incredible and vast Teutonic Castle picturesquely set on the banks of a river. The castle has a long and rich history spanning hundreds of hours and is heavily featured throughout Polish history. You really need to give yourself a whole day to do the castle justice. We booked our tickets in advance via the website which I would recommend - no waiting in queues, just collect your audio guide at the counter and off you go. The audioguide is c 3 hours of content but by the time you factor in walking between things, taking some photos, grabbing a coffee and some lunch, you can easily clock up 5 hours. We visited on a Sunday not realising that things wrap up early (about 15:00) so wouldn’t recommend starting later than 11:00 to give yourself a chance to see it all. The audioguide is really good and intuitive so definitely recommend this. The paths and courtyards are all cobbled which is fine if you’re able-bodied but you might struggle if you have walking difficulties, especially in the rain, so bring appropriate footwear. The restaurant seemed to be full every time we tried to go but there’s a little cafe that is by the exit down a flight of stairs that was pretty quiet that did a good pumpkin soup and filled bagels. All-in-all, an incredible insight into a piece of Polish history and architecture that is not to be missed on a visit to Poland!

This castle is not to be missed if you are anywhere near Malbork! We took the train from Gdansk and then walked about 20 minutes to the castle entrance. I suggest to come right as the castle opens, because when we arrived, it was easy to see everything, but towards the end of our time, it got pretty crowded with school groups and tours. We bought tickets online for the historical tour route, which gives you access to the grounds, the castle, and all of the exhibition museums, and there is so much to see! The audio guide is three hours and is free with this admission ticket. There are exhibitions for armory, amber, stained glass, etc, which you can skip if you run out of time or are not interested, but the armory is fantastic. Towards the outside of the castle grounds where the viewpoint is over the river, there are vendors set up with souvenirs and snacks. Highly recommend a trip to the castle!

Great castle. We took the single ticket (35 zt and 25 zt for people over 65) which includes the French Audio Guide. The latter is triggered automatically as the circuit progresses. However, we did not normally have access to exhibitions (armour, weapons, precious objects...). Pushing doors randomly, we finally saw almost everything without anyone asking us anything (I specify that it was late afternoon). Visit to do absolutely.

When we were now in Gdansk, we made this day trip to Marienburg/Malbok. It's all on your own. We drove the about 50 KM by train (Polish IC, highly recommended) super cheap (for 2 about 10 € there and back), walked through the nice town (about 1 KM) and visited this great maintained example of brick Gothic. Not only is it the largest building of its kind in the world, the museum exhibitions can all be visited and with the admission which is really worth it (about 30- 40 €), you automatically receive an audio guide in the desired local language, which leads you through this world cultural heritage in a quiet and understandable way.

Malbork is the largest Gothic castle complex in the world and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We didn't get there until around 11am, which turned out to be a small advantage, as many school classes and tourist groups had already finished their tours and there weren't so many people crowding through the courtyard. At first glance, the entrance fee seems very high at 80 Pzl for adults and 60 Pzl for students, but with the included audio guide, which takes visitors through the castle complex for more than 2 hours, the price is more than reasonable. Be sure to plan a visit when you're travelling to Poland!

Malbork Castle is located less than an hour drive southeast from Gdansk. It is the biggest brick castle in the world, built by Teutonic knights in 13c onwards. Over the centuries it was enlarged becoming a fortress-town. It consists of 3 castles within its huge and long walls - High Castle (the first one with the Cathedral), Middle and Lower Castle. Beware, on Mondays the Castle is open till 4PM and entry is FREE (with audio guide included), BUT ONLY the exterior - you wont be able to enter any buildings inside it. We didn't know that and had no option to reschedule our visit as it was our last day in Poland. Despite that, we enjoyed our tour which lasted almost two hours with amazing GPS audio guide telling interesting stories and guiding you around.

The UNESCO heritage castle is located half an hour by train from Gdansk, and a 10' walk from Malbork station. The visit (with audio guide in Italian, paid separately but highly recommended and really well done) was exciting, rich and... long. Following the entire route I spent almost 4 hours. It's worth it though! Also included is entry to an interesting amber museum overlooking the main courtyard

This castle was fantastic. Spent over 3 hours once we got there. Travelled by train from Gdansk which took around 40 minutes, then walked about 20 minutes from Malbork train station. Definitely do the audio guide if going. This place is fascinating and beautiful especially on a Sunday day like we were fortunate to experience. Well worth a trip.

Malbork Castle was a real discovery for me. Being a lover of such buildings, I was looking forward to meeting this outstanding representative of castle architecture, but the reality exceeded all my expectations. Since we were a family with a child, we decided not to take a detailed tour and opted for an hour-long sightseeing tour. During this time, we were able to visit the main buildings of the complex and get quite detailed impressions. Both adults and children enjoyed the visit. Cool place with a rich history. I recommend.
