burg szigliget

The castle and the neighbourhood has developed a lot in the past 10-15 years since I last visited the place. Easily accessible, the parking place is close, a paved path is going up to the ruins. The hiker-type can of course still climb from the very bottom.For the hungry traveller there’s a superb cafeteria with delicious cakes near the parking, but some snacks are also served at the entrance of the castle.What has not changed is the view. It is still beautiful with the lake surrounded by spotted volcanic hills.

The kids loved it. After climbing some stares we saw the ruins of the castle. Up there you will see a great lake balaton view. Price: adults 600 HUF. Kids 300 HUF. Kids under the age of 6 free. A great place for kids of all age.

This is a great, well-maintained ruin castle on the northern side of Lake Balaton. You must climb a small hill first, then there are even more steps inside the ruins, but it's well worth the climb: on a clear day you can oversee great distances over the lake and the surrounding mountains. If you are doing the Hungarian National Blue Hiking Tour (Országos Kéktúra), be sure to stop here as the castle has its own castle-stamp! I also recommend the ice cream place at the bottom of the hill, very cool tastes there!

Everybody have te see that burg. One ticket is 600 HUF. Approxymetli need one hour to walk around the burg.

The several year efforts of local initiatives were strengthened by bodgetary support in the recent years, so Szigliget Castle gets nicer and nicer, and provides more an more attractive programs as well.

This is a really impressive and well maintained attraction. Our children had a great time clambering all around, imagining themselves firing cannons etc. I particularly liked the section with decorated and furnished rooms depicting life at the time. The Benedictine chapel, the oldest part of the ruins, is also a very spiritual place. A great way to spend an hour or two.

Renovated and well maintained nice little castle on the top of the hill with a breath taking view. Dont miss it if yuo take a teip around Balaton!

Have to climb a lot, but worths to do. And also you can get more impressions of to be visited places from the top.

its really a nice castle, if you are a adrenalin-junkie, you will enjoy standing on the edge of the walls! just beautiful view of the lake and the valley...

At first you may thought that it is really a long trail to get to the ruins of the fortress. It may appear quite elevated from the parking area (in front of the church) but actually it is not. It may take you around 5-7 min to get to the entrance of the ruins (of course, it depends on how fast you are especially the trail is a little steep, at least for me).Once you are on top, you will have a great panoramic view of the Szigliget village as well as of the Lake Balaton. This is a must for photographers.

Great place to stop along Lake Balaton. Both the castle ruins and the views are excellent. My kids really enjoyed the visit as well. Not very crowded, even on a weekend.

This is well-worth the trip - the children and many adults like castles, and everyone will enjoy the view over Lake Balaton. If you turn the other way you can also see the valley and the smaller lakes. There are small displays of armour, about life in the castle in past centuries etc.

Bardzo dobra odmiana na po całodziennym leniuchowaniu na plaży. Dzieci wręcz wbiegały po tych długaśnych schodach. Na dole spory parking i dobrze zaopatrzona informacja turystyczna. Na górze wspaniałe widoki na Balaton i okoliczne wzgórza wulkaniczne. Ciekawa historia twierdzy.

nagyon sokat jártunk ide. Egy nagyon aranyos kis falucska Szigliget, Badacsony mellett.A faluból majdnem minden honnan látni a várt!Elég nehéz fel gyalogolni de megéri!Várjátékok vannak benne , es a kilátását a Balatonra is pazar!!!!

Kellemes séta, lélegzetelállító panoráma és kézműves fagyi. :)Nagyon jól visszaadja a kor szellemét, mindenkinek csak ajánlani tudom.
