We went to Innsbruck recently. There's a parking lot nearby where you have to pay 1 euro for 30 minutes. The castle looks amazing from the outside, and there's a garden nearby too. Unfortunately, we couldn't go inside because we got there a bit late. You can also see some peacocks roaming around the castle grounds. It's still worth a quick visit if you're leaving Innsbruck.
Nous ne l'avons pas visité, mais les extérieurs sont intéressants. Très beau château (entrée payante). Le petit parc et la forêt sont par contre en libre accès, suffisant pour nous
Arrivés à l'heure d'ouverture, nous avons trouvé de la place facilement.
La visite est intéressante, et nous avons mis environ deux heures pour visiter le tout, sans se presser.
Le petit plus sympathique est la présence de paons :)

Great activity on a rainy day, the museum is very interesting even if you're not massively into museums. Very easy to get to. Access is mostly level across the site with gentle steps in place. Would recommend.
It's a must-visit place for first time tourists in Innsbruck. The castle is a bit secluded from the city, but it takes just 20 minutes from the city center via bus to reach here. The museum has amazing artifacts from its time, and even the outdoor area of the castle is quite scenic, with lovely views of the city, lush green lawns, and a small lake.
Nice castle with good audio or guided tour. Small parking in front of the entrance.
A 16th century castle in Innsbruck. There is a lower and upper castle. When we went the upper castle was closed due to construction work. The lower castle has the armoury museum and also the chamber of art and wonders. It was not crowded when we went and spent about an hour.
The visit was fine but I was just a bit disappointed by the design of the palace. I thought if it was a gift from Ferdinand II of the royal family to his untitled wife, the design would have looked better. But overall the museum was interesting and the inside of it is quite grand. There are also a lot of peacocks walking around.
- It is "not" included in Innsbruck Welcome Card. Reducing 1 star.
- We visited only 2 halls. Others were closed.
- 12 EUR for Adult. They should reduce the price if we cannot visit other halls. Reducing 1 more star.
- There are a few peacocks outside, in the castle compound. They are amazing.
- The lady at the ticket counter is polite.

Excellent collections - suits of armour, statue heads, the 'fools plate', etc. Spanish gallery - fantastic hall with painted walls and marquetry ceiling. Cafe and upper storeys of upper castle closed when we visited December '23) for building work.
Three storied museum currently housing the original vlad the impaler painting. Many portrait paintings and other exhibits surrounded by a architecturally beautiful castle.
Really cool collection of armor and artistic items. The castle itself wasn’t what I expected when compared to others I’ve visited. Nice little cafe in the courtyard area. Worth a visit for sure
Sehenswerte Schlossanlage mit einer Umfangreichen Rüstkammer. Die erste ihrer Art überhaupt. Auch die anderen Ausstellungen sind sehr gut. Im Schlosspark kann man schön spazieren gehen.
Super schöner Park und die freilaufenden Pfaue sind natürlich das high light. Will man das Schloss von innen sehen muss das natürlich bezahlen. Der restliche Park ist kostenlos Liegewiesen sind ausgeschildert und der kleine Teich lädt zum verweilen ein. Wer möchte kann die Tiere mit speziellen Fitter füttern (gibt es für 50 Cent). Alles im allem kann man hier einen gemütlichen Tag verbringen. Wer möchte kann von hier aus auch eine leichte Wanderung starten.
Das Schloss und die gesamte Anlage sind in einem guten und schönen Zustand. Die Vielfalt der Ausstellungsstücke gibt einen Einblick in die Historie und Zeit. Der Eintritt ist durchaus hoch und vergleichbar mit anderen Museen nicht unbedingt angemessen, daher einen Abzug bei den Sternen.
Leider hatte ich zu wenig Zeit im alles zu sehen. Mir war die Ausstellung der Portraits ( Gemälde) etwas zuviel. Ich finde es super, dass man zu einem relativ großen Bereich im Schloss Zugang hat. Ich liebe seit meiner Kindheit den Schloßpark der danei ist und recht groß.
I strongly suggest you to go there on foot if you like hiking because you're going through such a nice natural environment as you can see from the pictures. However, don't forget to get something to drink before starting going there because your body will need to be kept hydrated since it's a bit steep and might be tiring for many. But still the view when you reach on the top is breathtaking! It's definitely worth seeing. You can also enjoy the garden area for free. Entrance fee is necessary only for the castle 🏰 So, you can consider going there for a nice weekend picnic.
Es ist schön hier draußen oberhalb von Innsbruck. Man muss aber nicht unbedingt hier gewesen sein. Wenn man mehrere Tage hier ist kann man es schon mal machen, aber man hat nichts wesentliches verpasst, wenn man nicht da war. Für Kinder ist die Ausstellung mit den Rüstungen ganz interessant. Die vielen Gemälde der Habsburger sind aber nicht für jeden interessant.
The castle is beautiful and has a lot of historical artefacts including paintings. I would recommend the audio guide for families with small kids. The castle grounds are huge and provide beautiful views of the alps. The grounds are very nice for hiking. Walking down the mountain and across the bridge at the end of the garden is a small cave in the rock which is interesting for kids. There are peacocks in the gardens which were also a great attraction. We arrived at the castle at around 10.00am which was perfect, it was very busy after noon time.
