Harburg Castle is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Bavaria that truly captures the essence of medieval history. Visiting this remarkable fortress is like stepping back in time, with its beautifully preserved walls, towers, and courtyards offering a rare glimpse into centuries past. The panoramic views from the castle, overlooking the lush Danube River Valley, are breathtaking. The guided tours are both informative and engaging, bringing the castle’s rich history and its role in protecting the region to life. I want to emphasise especially our guide Jakob, who is definely loving his work, explaining every detail and making this tour perfect. Well done!

During our tour, we stopped at Harburg Castle and had the chance to explore this impressive medieval fortress. The experience was fantastic! Our tour guide was excellent, providing us with rich details about the castle’s history. It’s a must-see for anyone interested in medieval architecture and history.

Loved it, we didn't have time to wait for the English tour and did the German one which we didn't understand, but they gave us pamphlets in English that told us the jist of everything, so it was good regardless. The guide Tonya was wonderful, even if we didn't know what she was saying most of the time. The castle is really interesting and the church is beautiful. The art gallery at the end was a nice addition to walk through as well. Plus we noticed a few little ghosts hidden around the castle, and the Rapunzel's hair on the tower just outside, which were adorable. We loved it!

a medieval fortress dated to the 11th century but its present form is from 18th century. large complex of museums, beer gardens, and vast yards. the small entrance allows you only to see the castle yard and the viewing platform. you have to get the guided tour to see the different rooms, halls, antiquities, life in the fortress back then and a collection of paintings. amazing experience and family friendly. shop for souvenirs is available.

Nestled amidst picturesque surroundings, this beautifully restored 1,100-year-old castle offers a unique blend of history and luxury. Inside, you'll find a renowned, upscale restaurant, known for its exquisite cuisine and elegant ambiance. While dining here is a memorable experience, be aware that it comes with a high price tag. The castle is situated in a quaint, traditional village where the locals cherish their peace and quiet. Visitors are advised to respect their privacy and avoid asking too many questions. The castle is wheelchair-friendly, though the path leading up to it is somewhat steep. An electric wheelchair is recommended for ease of access. Admission is reasonably priced at around €3 for those in wheelchairs and €4 for others. Paid parking is conveniently located within walking distance.
