The castle is built on a hill and it is visible from the distance. You can purchase tickets of different tipe, for different prices. For exemple slovak guided tour, ticket to the castle grounds, tucket to the church tower, etc. I would really recommend coming to Nitra if you are planning to visit Slovakia.

A beautiful surprise, this castle. While the big cities of Europe are crowded with tourists, this place is a oasis of tranquility and peace. The church is amazingly beautiful, with a unique marble work inside. Besides the castle, you will also enjoy a beautiful view from the top of the hill.

The castle grounds are absolutely worth visiting, the rest of town not. Gorgeous setting, perfect for a walk.

Very beautiful. Tower was closed. Information was helpful, unlike some other places in Nitra
Great view and good restaurant but you need to book
No English translation in the museum

You can drive up to the castle and park nearby. It's cheap to visit too, especially if you're old. A nice visit to the cathedral and the little museum. My friend climbed the tower but it is a lot of steps. You can see the Castle from all over Nitra. ... and it's flood lit at night.

Make sure you do the tower tour, you need to book it when you first go into the castle, it doesn't take long but has great views from the top. There are over 100 steps to the top though but not too bad. We had a lovely guide she even gave us an English translation. The church inside is absolutely amazing, one of the most beautiful altars we have seen all gold & marble.

I wasn't that close, I am sorry. In Nitra there are hotels.

Originally there was a fortified settlement, reports of the fortified settlement date back to 871.
