Mozart Music Magic

5.00This was a really cool experience! The view in itself made it worth it. The musicians were all incredibly talented and I enjoyed how intimate it was. Something to note is that once you get up via the funicular, it is all stairs. This is not handicap accessible.
Exquisite

4.00Very friendly crew, from the reservation until the personal goodbye at the end. Great experience to drive up to the castle, beautiful dinner location with a nice view and sun-drenched insides. Menu was ok but you don’t expect a high-quality dinner. Very friendly staff with very personal attention. The concert was nice amd of ok quality with a choice of classicals “something for everyone”. All in all a nice but not spectacular evening
AMAZING!!!
