Lots of content, very nice historical summary about everything that happened in the past with special focus on the Hungarian Holy Crown rescue mission
romantic place, cosy atmosphere
It is very attractive and amazing!
Nice place
Boring. Too many descriptive texts. Not much to see. Just 5-6 constructions for children (the torture/jail tools, namely). Too small. Better go to Sümeg castle, it is the same price and 6x better.
Mandatory target if you are in Kőszeg
Love this place! I love museums anyways... This one is a lot of reading and tabloids on the wall with history in a fairly small but old castle. There are some quirky bits, like the lookout tower (I have vertigo, so only the hubby went up there with the older kids), rung the tower bell. If you go, although it costs a bit extra, it is worth watching the 3D movie about Hungarian history. For tourists it gives a really good summary, for Hungarians it is a cool short film to remind one of the school taught facts and stories. The best time to visit is the beginning of August, when there is a historical fair in the whole of the city centre, called Ostromnapok. It lasts the whole weekend and you can time travel back into the Middle Ages - eat the food, listen to the music, play the medival games or witness the re-enacting of the Hungarian-Turkish fights of 1500s with lots of soldiers and even cannon shots, the castle being the centre of attention. You can also buy memorabilia in this Mediterranean feel gem of a place.
