We walked from the city to the castle. There is a good track all the way complete with steps where needed. The castle ruins have not been restored and are in poor condition. It was disappointing that there was no signage or commentary available to explain the various points around the site. The museum wasn’t really worth paying to see other than us the toilet. The walk to the site and the view were the best bits for me. It would be great if the caretakers put a bit of effort into restoring the site and explain the historic points around the ruins.

Beautiful to your however it is destroyed! The view when you get to the top is breathtaking! Yes you can see Mount Vesuvius! The bus drops you off there and also picks you up! You can go through on your own and explore, there is an elevator.

The only reason to go is the view. Not really a museum, but there was a small art exhibit. Not one part of the castle is restored, and is actually just ruins. The cafe was not open in Sept. 2022. I recommend you take the bus from Salerno, as you can use your pass to get back down the mountain after you leave. You cannot pay for a bus ride if you try to get on when you leave, and no way to call a taxi. DO NOT walk the road up or down. There is no shoulder. And it's treacherous.

What a must in Salerno. Beautiful, peaceful castle, with a lovely woodland surrounding it. The views are absolutely fantastic, the ticket is about 4€ and it's definitely worth it. On top of that at the end of the visit you can enjoy a drink or a snack in the bar, right inside the main castle, just delightful.

Great views, very serene vibe. Walk up, it’s easy and the path is relaxing. Don’t use the car road, there is a walkway for pedestrians that is better and safer. Ask around for it since you can’t find it on Google Maps
