Summer castle tour

Castle was very crowded. Tour guide knowledgeable & informative. Did not include other parts of the ground such as horse & carriage museum. Easter market was nice but overpriced (for tourists). There is a small cafe in back that was very nice, offered meals & clean bathrooms. Gardens definitely better to visit when things are in bloom, and weather warmer!
No queues

What a fabulous place and our guide was engaging, giving the right amount of interesting commentary. And it was nice to be ‘guided’ as the Palace was very busy.

Be prepared for a very quick Austrian history lesson. You will be fascinated by the rich history of the Hapsburg family. The tour is just a glimpse into the 640 year empire.
Biljana (Billie) was a great guide!!

This tour was amazing 😊 thank you so much to our guide Biljana (Billie). She was energetic and charismatic and such a lovely guide. Going through the palace and gardens with her was amazing. She shared wonderful facts and transitioned through the rooms very efficiently! She even took pictures of each group and made everyone feel welcome! Thank you so much, Billie!
