Perfect way to start a tour of Innsbruck. This self guided tour is inexpensive and super informative. Collections from the very FIRST museum ever started in the world! We went on a weekday and had the entire castle and museum to ourselves. One word of caution is that when you leave the castle (which is above and overlooking the city) the city bus is really the only option and you must get a ticket to ride in the city (nowhere near the castle!). The bus driver was really nice and let us ride back to the city without a ticket. We repaid the local people with Karma in various ways for the wonderful treatment that they showed us tourists.

Is a good palace with an stunning spanish hall. However the exhibit is not that extent and the price a bit high I believe. Is good if you like castles like me.

This was a very nice castle with a interesting history. A great display of armor. There were peacocks and lizards roaming the grounds. A pond with fish and large green area. There was a amazing hall. As well as many interesting displays.

If you have a car, I'd give this 4 stars. If you're coming by bus and have to walk up the giant hill to the castle, I'd give it three stars (the walk is pretty steep and there are very few signs and lots of paths to get lost on). The castle has been very nicely restored and curated. The rooms are quite lovely and it has a really great vibe. The museum collections are not the most interesting, though: dozens and dozens of portraits of Hapsburgs. Just a portrait of a person standing there. (I majored in Art History at university and portraits were my least favorite. Sorry.) And then there is a giant collection of glassware. Glasses with flowers, glasses with gold painting, glasses with carving. Lots and lots of glasses and carafes and that sort of thing. If you like that, wonderful!

We visited this castle on a rainy day and we were really suprised. We loved the musuem of wonders, i found it amazing. And i really liked all the history behind the castle. The only thing we found a little boring was the 3 floors of portraits. Were not a big fan of art. Well worth the entrance fee.

Fantastic castle nestled within a city park. Beautiful rooms and very informative. Enjoyed the castle and walking the garden paths.

The castle has big collection of royal portraits and temporary exhibition of antique art subjects. Nevertheless I got very negative feeling from being there and was in a rush to leave it as soon as possible. Employees in the rooms follow you everywhere, watch your every motion and start shouting at you as soon as you just stretch your hand to show something on the painting for you children (without touching of course). They are especially against children and like wild dogs look at them with suspicion. I am an artist myself and wished to spend more time to admire the portraits, but I constantly felt sharp glance of those “ art gendarmes“ on my back. In addition they follow you step by step till the next room and whisper “warnings” to the next chain gendarme, who keeps following you just step behind, wherever you go. I never felt so disgusted from visiting art museum in any country of the world. Must say, people probably feel it and don’t come here. It is almost empty. Definitely would not recommend to come to this unfriendly place!

For a rainy day we decided to go and visit Schloss Ambras, it turned out to be a good choice! Our children really liked the gardens and the knightsarmer. We enjoyed the paintings and the wonders cabinet. The staff was very friendly and also with the Covid rules this place is good to go and see all the art that is to enjoy. Busstop is nearby and children under 18 can go for free.

This is a picture perfect renaissance castle and palace built in a hill above the valley. The place has a well manicured picturesque vast garden with flowering plants even.
