Visiting this site is literally an uphill struggle—both physically and mentally. The walk up is on a twisting road with speeding, unsafe drivers, making it downright dangerous. If you value your life, take the bus (Route 19), but be warned: it only runs once every hour and 30 minutes, so expect long waits. Once you arrive, you’ll find a small, underwhelming museum with very little to see. The site is poorly signposted, making navigation frustrating, and overall, it feels like Italy doesn’t integrate tourism and history well here. The castle itself is not worth the time and effort—you’ll likely spend a maximum of 45 minutes here before realizing you will never get the time wasted back. Definitely not worth the hassle.

Easy to access by city bus, pleasant hostess who was happy to speak English, peaceful place with spectacular views.

This place offers a stunning view of the Bay Area and Amalfi coast, there’s a small museum with porcelains and coins. Toilets are available, but there’s no bar/coffee machines. It’s quite difficult to get there with the bus #19 from the city center, because it’s not so frequent, but it’s still the most convenient way to avoid traffic jam.

A fantastic piece of history. We walked up to the castle from Salerno, the roads are as interesting to cross as anywhere else in the town so beware! The views from the walls are amazing and there are information plaques with Italian and English transitions. The toilets are clean and tidy, the only negative is that there is a lot of rubbish - this seems to be a problem everywhere here unfortunately. A shame as it's a beautiful place to visit We didn't visit the museum, we didn't have time on this visit Definitely make it a part of your visit
