- Martina M9 contributionsWorth visitingReading some other reviews we were not sure sould we take a trip to the castle or not. But finally we took it and had some good time there. It was Saturday and there were a lot of people, and yet not too much, so we could easy get arround. Theere were two exhibitions and were free and interesting, a lot of rooms were open for visitors, one can learn something new about our shared history.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 7, 2023
- olimpia uCluj-Napoca, Romania4 contributionsNice experience!This time I was vey enchanted!all the rooms of the castle were opened for visiting, good organizate, important information ℹ️ for free. I love it! A big plus, just next to the castle is a small historical museum, and the entrance is free with the ticket from the castle.Visited August 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten August 20, 2024
- Jared22 contributionsBeautiful castle with amazing views and a pretty good free audio guideThis is a beautiful castle with amazing views. It also has a free audio guide app you can download on the app store. The audio guide was pretty interesting and each section was only a minute or two long. Which I appreciate because I find that many castle audio guides blather on about things that are only tangentially related to the castle. I felt it was a very appropriate length tour for the size of the castle. The castle doesn't have a ton of furniture or paintings but the architecture itself was amazing. My only complaint is that the Android app kept crashing in the middle of playback, but my girlfriend's iPhone had no problems so we were able to listen together that way.Visited August 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten August 20, 2024
- RetiredandLovingItRainham, United Kingdom96 contributionsVery interesting and impressive castleWe were not certain about going as it was quite a way from Sibiu, we had driven a long way the previous day, and it was raining heavily. We were really glad we did so. It was a very interesting castle, glorious views, small staircases and Gothic vaulting. We could have done without the torture chamber which the Romanians seem to enjoy so much, as a Hull City supporter I get enough in the UK. Definitely worth the effort to visitVisited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten September 19, 2024

This place seems to always be under renovation. It is very difficult for one to see the whole castle’s interior as it is always covered by ugly scaffolds. This time more than half of the interior walls wore cover and half the interior was inaccessible. Very frustrating. The outside is very nice and I would go just for that. The 38 Ron per adult entrance fee is not worth what you are going to see inside. Neamts Castle was far better. This one wasn’t worth the drive. If you are close enough, go take pictures of the outside and leave.

Welcome to the citadel of Hunedoara, which has become the castle of the most brilliant king of medieval Hungary, Matthias Corvinus.
The monument has a special charm due to its various construction styles, the presence of military and civilian innovations, as well as the tumultuous courtyard life that has animated it for over 400 years.
Corvin Castle impresses with its presence, which dominates the city of Hunedoara. For those attracted by the Middle Ages, the castle is a unique monument in Romania and among the most attractive in Europe.

at last I've managed to go to Hunedoara, a beautiful town and an interesting castle. Some parts are very beautiful arranged, it has many rooms and towers to visit and the panoramas are almost breathtaking. In two rooms (the throne room and a dormitory) there were two musicians that played medieval music. A very nice experience and a part of our national history that thrilled me.

The castle is very beautiful and impressive: starting with the entry bridge there are many places at very high height, breath taking! Before the bridge is a square where you may buy food, coffee, souvenirs and you may rest on benches. You will see few centuries of history concentrated in this castle who once was the residence of Hungarian kings.
You may complete the day with a visit at Giardini di Zoe in Vinci village, a very beautiful park, built entirely as a private initiative.

The castle looks massive and impressive from the outside, Great instagram photos potential.
As for the inside, at our third (and last) visit, there are less and less chambers open to the public. It is used as a film set, there seems to be a permanent movie set and the visitors get in the way. At 35 lei each you don't get to see much as you constantly hear excuse me", "cut", "please, wait for the staff to move props, thank you", "that room is closed for...whatever reason" etc. It left me with the impression that visitors are allowed only for monetary reasons, other than that they're mostly intruding.
Not returning anytime soon, if not ever.

Yes it is undergoing renovation but there is enough to see. We did not expect to see the place fully furnished given the age and history of the castle. We came and appreciated the building. You can download a free app prior to the visit to utilise the audio guide. The rooms have signs with the exhibit number and an explanation in 3 languages (including English). We found free parking on a side street and there was no line to buy tickets, even on a Saturday afternoon. It was not crowded and there were signs to indicate the direction of the tour. Overall, it appears to be a well-managed tourist attraction with a reasonable entrance fee. They accept an Australian senior card to obtain a 50% discount on the entrance fee.

The castle is a special building, but not very neat... I think the municipality could pay more attention to detalis and layout... it s pretty sad.
In one of the halls there was a troubadour which seemd broken from that ancient time arrived here just to delight our ears and take us back in his time...

Wonderful castle that was kept in its original state as much as possible. Musicians made the atmosphere feel more medieval. The view was quite amazing.
1h30 was enough to visit it all.
It is a shame so many parts were closed to the public due to restauration works. Also, the staff should have more change, as the public can't always come with the exact sum.
We recommend!

This was a castle that we’ve wanted to visit for sometime now, and it was so much more beautiful than expected.
The castle is very open and spacious with lots to see and explore. The castle seems very traditional and original.
The only negative is that during our visit there was lots of construction work going on which meant parts of the castle were off limits and covered in scaffolding.
There are a number of stalls just outside the castle selling souvenirs and snacks.
Unfortunately the area surrounding this castle is very run down and industrial.
There is no official parking for this attraction. Although there is a paid car park about 2 minutes walk away. This is reasonably priced at 10 Leu a day. This car park seems quite safe as there was an attendant there and also some small stalls selling souvenirs.

It is a very impressive castle where many parts are still well preserved. The restorations are well done and everything looks very well maintained. You can view the castle according to a recommended route through the buildings and towers or explore on your own. Art was exhibited in many rooms, whether paintings, sculptures or anything else.
You will also be rewarded with several beautiful viewpoints over the city and the surrounding countryside.
For the small entrance fee it is highly recommended. However, construction was still underway at the time of the visit, which could possibly be a problem for the high season.

Si conoscono gli orari di ingresso al castello per agosto 2020? Grazie

Buongiorno,
Avrei bisogno di sapere se ci sono collegamenti pubblici da Timisoara per il castello dei Corvini.
Oppure se qualcuno sa dirmi il prezzo di un taxi.
Tutto ciò che trovo sono agenzie con guide a più di 100 € a coppia, non c'è qualcosa di più economico??
Grazie!

Hi,
Is the Castle lit up at night?
And, I'm solo traveller.

Hi. Truly I don`t know. But we felt completely safe in Romania day and night)) It`ll be dangerous if you go for a walk without a flashlight)))

Ciao, sto pensando ad un viaggio di 7 giorni da sola in transilvania, spostandomi coi mezzi pubblici. Guardando un po' su maps la strada che conduce dalla stazione degli autobus di Hunedoara al Castello dei Corvino, mi è sembrato un percorso un po' fatiscente e inquietante. Chi ci è già stato lo ritiene sicuro o sarebbe meglio prendere un taxi? Grazie :)

Scusa il ritardo. Ho visitato il castello, ma l'ho raggiunto in macchina quindi purtroppo non posso aiutarti. Ti posso solo dire che a mio modo di vedere tutta la Romania e' piuttosto sicura anche per una donna sola. Buon viaggio☺
