Burghausen Castle

Definitely a wonderful site. It was absolutely amazing to visit and walk around the castle. The views around the castle were great and was definitely worth it. We couldn't trust the GPS, however, to get to the parking lot. It took us a wrong way and we almost got in trouble for it.

Beautiful place to visit. Great view from the Austrian side. We did not visit the actual castle.

The longest castle in Europe.
This is a true pearl of Bavaria.
I don't even know what is more beautiful: the castle itself or the views that open from it! The atmosphere of medieval antiquity prevails on the territory of the castle.
There is a bar, a restourant, a little shop and toilets. Descendants of noble families still live on the territory of the castle.
The castle can be reached by stairs from the city center or by back passages from the lake.
At the foot of the castle there is a beautiful emerald lake where you can swim and sunbathe. Entrance is 3 euros.
Not far from the lake there is a free underground parking lot from the hospital. Definitely recommend!!

Lovely historical castle that stretches 1km across the hilltop, parking is available on site but limited at busy times, you can park within a few 100m and walk to the castle fairly easily. Entry is free to the site with a museum section which charges a fee. Nice eateries available and public facilities in multi locations.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Castle and the walk around it. It may be that the weather also played a crucial role, being sunny and the modest breeze, setting up the mood.
The parking near the castle can become a crunch during weekends so plan to park either downtown or before you reach the destination.
There are a few eateries inside the castle and I suggest cafe burghausen.
Many small windows to explore and observe the beauty of the Castle and surroundings.
Also plenty of green space for kids to have fun.

Very nice place for family to visit and take a walk on weekend. Stunning panorama view!! Parking lot is in front of the entrance and it’s free . This place is Recommend !!

Nice castle on a hill with great views

Visited this castle twice already and it was still very interesting. Have beautiful views on town from castle's walls and roof. Also have 2 museums. Can walk around the castle for free, museums aren't expensive though. Near the castle have a lake and can take a nice walk around it. I recommend to visit this place👍🏻

Beautifully preserved this castle dates back as early as the second half of the 13th century. It is said that the expansion of the castle to its present state predominantly took place during the reign of Lower Bavarian Duke. It’s is the world’s longest castle complex now. You can enjoy the full length of this beautiful castle any day. Inside the castle premises now hosts a museum displaying the contents of the era. Views from the castle are picturesque. I recommend this castle on any cloudy or cold day as the views are amazing. There is a restaurant inside the castle.

I have spent 4 weeks over two trips in Burghausen, in February 20017 and March 2018. The castle is of course a highlight of the city. You can walk inside most of it at any time. Some people live in apartments within so there's some occasional car traffic but it's mainly pedestrian. There are several areas along the mile or so length where you can look out over either side and several benches to rest along the way if needed. There's a small cafe towards the end, it was closed in February 2017, but open when I was there in March 2018. There are also public bathrooms before the final bridge that takes you to the main castle. It was €4.50 to see the area of the castle where the royalty lived. There are 3 floors with some period spesific furniture, tapestries, and paintings, with descriptions in German and English. And at the top you can go outside for amazing views. On a clear day you can see the Alps. A stroller with good tires can make it everywhere except the end part of the castle that you pay to get inside. If you're in Burghausen I highly recommend walking through the castle, and if you have a bit if extra time, pay a few euros to see inside/atop.

Just walking the grounds is worth the trip. Walk up to the inner castle, then down to the shops in altstadt (old town) for good shopping and great food. Bring good walking shoes!

Burg zu Burghausen is the longest castle in the world, measuring 1051 metres, it lies on the Salzach river, across the Austrian border.

Beautiful castle, it does not cost to enter (just museums) and right next to it there's even a beautiful lake to swim. I recommend it fully and even more if the weather is good. It's also not that far away from Munich around 130 km.

The best castle experience I've had. Don't forget to grab a map at the entrance, so you can read all the information about the different parts of the castle.

There was a lot of history! Even though we went during a cold month and a few things were closed since it was a Monday it was nice to walk and enjoy the views of the town. We didn't have to spend any money! We did buy admission to the 'museum' and to walk in the castle but I don't recommend it unless you really like art from the 1500's. It didn't showcase the castle very well. The best parts were free!

Great place of historical significance. A great way to relax is to play 18 holes of minigolf literally just outside the walls.

The longest castle i have yet to see. A long walk up well worth the climb for views to the town below. Great to see it is a lived in castle, not by nobility but ordinary people. So well cared for and clean surroundings. Tickets only req for the musuem.

Really pretty views from the top. Free entry. I recommend booking a tour in advance if you can.

What a gem and the spectacular views from castle. We spent the whole day at the castle and lovely town in Burghausen. The town itself is also nice decorated.

Great experience. Must visit. Also the old town is so beautiful.
