Castle of Sárospatak

Hungary This castle is a truly wonderful historical site, filled with fascinating artifacts and rich stories from Hungary’s past. Although it looks small from the outside, stepping inside feels like traveling back in time. You’ll discover the depth of Hungarian history in every corner. The guides—especially the women—are incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. They explain everything you need to know with passion and warmth, making the experience even more memorable. Their kindness and expertise are a highlight of the visit. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history, culture, or simply a beautiful and meaningful place to explore.

You can enter the castle itself, which is nice, but if you want to visit more of it, you have to buy the ticket. There are several options, with some of them being for example two for one, or three for one... The guide is usually in Hungarian, but I guess if you want it in other languages, you can ask beforehand. You can also walk in the huge park and there is a large playground for the kids. There are many restaurants and parking space around the castle, and the area around the castle is also beautiful and calm.

The castle is very well maintained. At the ticket office, where you buy your ticket, you will find a list of exhibitions for which you have to pay extra. There is an extra charge of 2500 HUF for photography. Why are the tower and several rooms only open to groups? In any case, the park and the outside area are magnificent, including the views.

The place is amazing, however the lady at the reception, selling the ticket was unkind and rude. Every time someone asked her something she was extremely annoyed. There was an entrance fee and still the toilet cost extra money. So many tourists and visitors, I would work on making the place more professional with English guidance.

We were there on the Tuesday after Easter Monday, everything was closed, so we couldn't go in. The park and the buildings (from the outside) are still very beautiful and well-maintained. It's obvious that many people work hard for this. Thank you for your work!
