- catch222504 contributionsIt can be foggy.Very easy to reach from Gdansk by train.. Weirdly, the journey was very clear and then BANG, completely foggy.. When returning, foggy then clear. So weird. Easy walk from the train station to the castle.. We did the green tour, 1hr 30mins depending on oneself. Enjoyed. We went early, 10ish I think and as it was late Feb, not many there.Visited February 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 14, 2024

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.Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten April 10, 2024

Massive brick castle, precisely rebuilt after serious WW II damage. Circuit for both lower part & upper part takes minimum 3,5 hours, but totally worth your time.

- Stefanie HLincoln, Nebraska1,745 contributionsExcellent!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!Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten September 10, 2024
- Will37 contributionsReally good - worth a visitReally enjoyed our day here. Never normally go for an audio guide but for this castle an audio guide is a good idea. In a lot of the rooms there is no writing to explain the history and significance (in either Polish or English) - the audioguide does this. The castle is pretty big so give yourself plenty of time. We left ourselves around 3 hours and still didn’t get round everything. There are a lot of large tour groups and school trips.Visited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten September 19, 2024

We bought tickets online, paid almost 49 pln for each ticket. When we came to the castle entrance, the guardians refused to let us in because we didn't take audioguides. We explained that we were not going to use them, because of the covid19 and also because we have a small child with us. Besides, there was no info on the site about the obligation to take the audioguide. By the way, just to take the audioguide you need to wait in a queue for about an hour, at least. It was a very nerve-wrecking experience, and the first time when we were forced to take the audioguide in a museum...

The castle is easily reached by train from Gdansk, although we caught the wrong train on our return and ended up spending a very cold hour at a station in a field (beware!). Follow the others to the castle, the tower of which you can see in the distance. The town itself is very industrial and not that attractive. Directions for tickets and collecting an audio guide were easy. The guide is simple to use and finds your position by GPS in the castle so if you move on quickly or take longer it catches up / waits for you. The speech is clear and interesting without overdoing the facts/history. There are a few sections were we still managed to skip by mistake, one being the tower. By the time we realised our mistake we couldn't be bothered to retrace our steps. I popped in to look at the restaurant and although we didn't eat there it looked cosy and smelt amazing. I have been to many castles but this was unique and well worth a visit.

Amazing place to visit, with loads to see and learn about.
We took the train from Gdansk to Malbork, with the journey and visit easily done in a day or less.
An audio guide is provided in the entrance cost, and I would advise getting, as it gives a lot of context and history to the castle as you walk around. Overall, we spent roughly 2hrs here, which was plenty to see everything.

The castle is great. It’s big, majestic, you can fill the Teutonic history. The downside is that it’s also very popular. The crowd of tourists can be irritating. It’s best to see it at the beginning or end of the season. Recently I visited Malbork in the first week of September and even though the tourist traffic was not that bad I still decided to go take a tour around the castle first thing in the morning and I was right.
Since the place is big it will take you more than a couple of hours to see it all. Audio guide is really good and this way you can be more flexible about your sightseeing. Take a coffee brake, chill on a bench etc. You can skip an exhibition or see it twice if you’d like. I really recommend audio guide.
There are also guided tours. I took the Castle Tour - it takes about 3 hours and weather it’s enjoyable or not depends on guide themselves. I’ve been on this tour twice (couple of years apart). First was a great experience the second one (recent one) was a so-so tour. You’ll never know. I wish there was a longer walk on castle grounds since the tour is mostly inside, more stories about castle daily life. Maybe The Green Rout have more of that (it’s a shorter tour).
A walk around is a must do. Take the time to do this, walk across the river to see the castle in it’s all, try to catch the view in a golden hour. Also, if your spending the night or leaving late, check the castle after dark, maybe try a night tour if you have time.

Castle is a good day out from Gdańsk. Take the slow train to Malbork Kaldowo. This is only 10 minutes from castle. The train is cheaper than Inter City and you save the time of a shorter train journey by having a shorter walk than from main station. We took Uber going: cost £42 so a lot dearer and impossible to use on return; train was really only way.
It is a lot of walking. Buy tickets ahead online so you have to queue only for audio guide. You must choose an hour slot to enter, perhaps due to Covid presently.
The audio guide is good but becomes tedious near the end. It is simply too long. Shame there is less empathetic type commentary- what it is like to be a Teutonic knight, what the Grand Master does, for example - and more actors role modelling would add to the experience. A video would be great, too!
It is OK if you like castles and history, but don’t go for a fun day.

If you like History and Castles you will be very happy! This Castle was an important place of the Teutonic order, his architecture is very typical with many donjons and ramparts in red brick. The size of the castle his impressive. The guided visit permits to understand well the history of this place. It is my favourite castle.

Came here last week with my son and had a very enjoyable visit. On arrival make sure that you purchase the audio guide, as we found this very useful. Not only did it guide you around so that you did not miss anything (with clear instructions of where to go next - even displaying pictures on the handset to highlight where you should be) but it also gave plenty of interesting information - and it worked perfectly as it knows where you actually are, so you can walk at your own pace and always have the correct audio (without having to press buttons or look out for numbers etc). We spent a total of three hours doing the tour (without any stops and without spending too much time at each exhibit) so, if you are planning on stopping for food or drink or literally seeing everything in detail then you will definitely need almost a full day.

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!

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.

I was in Malbork last week. There were a lot of people, but I didn't see any dogs inside the castle complex. I don't think you can go with a dog into the castle. It would be a good idea to ask about it at the info center.

Hallo, ich bin nicht sicher:
Das Außengelände des Schlosses und der Nebengebäude können Sie sicherlich auch mit einem Hund besuchen, aber in die Gebäude werden Sie mit Hund bestimmt nicht dürfen.
Trotzdem, es lohnt sich!

Bonjour,
Nous serons à Malbork le 20 juillet juste pour un am. Nous repartons le lendemain matin. Doit-on prendre ses billets d'avance ? Y a-t-il beaucoup d'attente ?
Merci pour votre réponse
Written July 7, 2019
J'ai visité Malbork fin mai, l'affluence était déjà importante et nous avions pris les tickets sur place le matin à l'ouverture (9h30). Pour le 20 juillet, il y a de fortes chances que l'attente soit très longue, surtout si vous y arrivez en fin de matinée. Si j'étais à votre place, je prendrai tous mes tickets à l'avance, lorsque c'est possible. Pensez à réserver l'audio guide en français, il est vraiment bien conçue.
Bonne visite,

Purtroppo non faremo un tempo ad arrivare a castello aperto. È godibile anche da chiuso? O saremmo costretti a vederlo solo in lontananza?
Written December 17, 2018
Alla fine siamo stati a vedere il castello da fuori. La scelta era tra vederlo da chiuso o non vederlo affatto perché gli orari sono troppo limitati. La chiusura alle 16 è assurda e inoltre su Google sono segnati gli orari sbagliati.
Comunque ci si può avvicinare a sufficienza, c'è una stradina interna e anche dal lungo fiume c'è una bella vista d'insieme. Inoltre la struttura è ben illuminata di notte.
Non amando i musei e avendo visto le foto degli interni non c'è sembrato ad ogni modo imperdibile l'interno.

Hello, we are about to embark on a bus tour through Poland. We only have 1 day in Gdansk. It appears that the options are to go on an excursion to visit the Malbork Castle or to spend a day in Gdansk. I have read the reviews of how great the castle is...but I have also heard that Gdansk is a beautiful city. Thoughts??
