    Amazing views from the castle
    Fabulous place to visit for just 3 euros an adult or 2 euros for a senior. Wonderful views from it, with cafe and toilets on site. It's a shame there isn't any information in English, and with Valenciano being the main language, it was hard to understand the information. But we enjoyed it nevertheless. Well worth a visit.

    Brilliant place
    Amazing spot! Wonderful views, well worth the entrance fee. A lovely walk up after walking through the tunnel. Really atmospheric place. It is very rough underfoot in parts, wear decent shoes. A welcome rest with granizados in the cafe near the top (lovely cats!) Not to be missed.

    Day in Denia
    If you have a couple of hours at hand, then a visit to Denia castle & museum is well worth while. There was a nominal entry charge & the cafe bar good value. The view of the old town, marina & sea is stunning...

    Take the easy path!
    The lady in the ticket office showed us the map of the castle and recommended we take the old, original path to the top. My husband struggled to walk even with the aid of a stick. I was worried we might stumble on the uneven path. I wish the ticket seller had advised us to walk up the easy path. Good views. The information boards were mostly in Valenciano . There was some Spanish but no other languages. Admittedly it is cheap to enter but make sure you take the easy route to the top!

    Worth the walk
    Although this isn't the easiest place to get to if you're physically challenged there are routes without steps. That being said there are some steps once inside but the views alone are worth the visit and at Euro3 for everyone except under 16 and over 60 (Euro2) it is well worth it. There's a cafe with toilets which overlooks the marina. Highly recommend ist.

Cafeteria terrible service and owner
Aug 2020 • Couples
The cafe owner was extremely rude, I was never treated like this in my life. The cafe was supposed to open at 5pm, they arrived at 5.30pm and still shouted at us. Then she asked us (a group of 7 people) to all sit at the same table because she didn't want to be bothered to clean more than one table after we left. Continued to shout at us and when we complained that she opened late she said that the place was hers she can do whatever she wants.
To be honest, I didn't mind paying for the entrance fee because I wanted to see the castle and have a nice cold drink up top. That didn't happen. Will never return and would completely advise against giving any money to that cafe.

Castle tour
Jul 2022 • Family
We did visit the castle and it was a nice experience.

We were 6 people, one senior, two adults, three children (16-12-8).

We did make the tour during late afternoon/early evening so the heat was not to present.

Recommend good walking shoes.

Very good value entry and great views
Jul 2022 • Couples
Only 3 euros entry and you can wander around the old castle on multiple levels including some wonderful viewing areas of the town, surrounding hills and port / sea. Little cafe selling ice creams and toilets at the top. Nice place to have a picnic (as we did).

Ignore the negative reviews. Worth the climb
Jan 2020 • Family
We visited from Alicante the train journey from Benidorm to Calpe was picturesque. You are then ushered onto a luxury coach to complete your journey to Dénia.
The Castle is well worth the climb. It is good to see it is unspoilt. We spent half a day here with our young children. If you use your manners and a little Spanish the staff are very helpful. There are no signs in English but you can work out what's happening. After all we are in Spain. We were impressed to find the café open on a quiet day in January.

Great views of Denia
Sep 2022 • Couples
We went on a Monday morning towards the end of Sept 2022. It was a rainy day. Glad we continued. The castle was originally used as a citadel, an Arab palace. The walk along the Castle walls reward you with beautiful views of the town and harbour below. There were hardly any tourists when we were there which made it all the more fun and we could take our time taking all the photos we wanted. There is an underground tunnel that leads you to the town below.

Incredible views from the top of the castle
Dec 2021
Denia castle is a lovely feature of Denia & well worth visiting. It only costs 3 euros to visit and the views from the top are incredible. It's really interesting and very well kept. After the long climb to the top there is a nice cafe to stop and have some refreshments.

Denia Castle & Museum
Dec 2019
Great place to visit with panoramic views across the city and of the Montgo. There's a little cafe near the museum with super views. Went in December when it was hot (by UK standards) and sunny. The museum isn't open all day long and isn't huge, but very interesting nonetheless. Very photogenic!
