Palanok Castle

1.9.2023 100 UAH fee,no access uphill by car anymore-15mins by feet and parking might be quite an adventure, a lot of exhibitions closed, very good new animation movie in little cinema.

Best castle in Ukraine. No caps!
You won’t find any better castle in entire Ukraine. Pleasant guide tour, revitalized buildings and brilliant view onto Mukachevo city. Fond of Palanok castle.

History always had a dark side to itself and this castle is not less than any other. The castle was build for sake of love but the Queen left the castle and ended up in church too clean up after the ceremonies and Sunday gatherings.
Not like castles you will find in England and Europe.

Wow. A must visit! Gorgeous castle dating back almost a thousand years (with changes over time) and stunning views of the surrounding country and Eastern Carpathians. If you do one thing in Mukacheve, do this.

Fantastic place! Big castle to explore with a lot of history and great views of the city. A torture chamber to explore the evils of humanity while sipping on mulled wine. My only critique would be that instead of hosting a few modern art galleries in some of the wings of the castle they should recreate the rooms with how the room world have looked at certain time periods with furniture, etc. No one wants to see modern art in a castle.

Simply amazing castle! I enjoyed immensely exploring every bit of it I could. The views are enchanting, one can just imagine how life a few centuries ago looked like.
I’m admiring the staff’s attitude too - you only have to pay for the entrance (and for a guide, if you like), there are no extra charges of any kind once you are in. Btw, there is drinkable water pumped from the well - just the thing in the hot summer!

Amazing place, you can find it romantic and majestic at the same time
A lot of interesting locations,sadly it's Covid pandemic, so we weren't able to enter each exposition, but a lot of them were opened. Highly recommend for visiting

Great place. A lot of observation decks. Inside of the castle you can see exposition with torture objects, old well, art gallery, animal's hide and ither expositions connected with history if the castle

The Palanok Castle or Mukachevo Castle is a historic castle in the city of Mukacheve in the western Ukrainian oblast (province) of Zakarpattia. The Palanok Castle is delicately preserved, and is located on a former 68 metre high volcanic hill. The castle complex consists of three parts: the high, middle, and low castle.

A very interesting place that has a lot of history. The guide explained things well and the castle itself is unique and beautiful. Would recommend visiting if you're near the area and like old architecture.

Nice castle in Mukachevo. Easy to get, easy to find parking. Is in good shape, new rooms and expositions open from year to year

I'm from New York but originally was born in Mukachevo, immigrated when I was young. Had a chance to visit the castle in summer and winter. Both times had an excellent time. View of the city is great, also view of the Carpathian mountains. Plenty of history to learn while walking throughout the castle. Also I love Mukachevo because it's a small city and lots of cafes and restaurants where the food is always delicious. I've visited Mukachevo 3 times since 2015 and all the times I've been there for a month, never wanting to leave but of course had to return to NYC because of work......
Visit Mukachevo and the Polanok castle, you won't regret........

Amazing view and history lesson from our guide Tatiana. Incredible place with intriguing wine cellar.

Castle is really cool. Would be nice to let people explore all secret rooms and paths.

Very well maintaned castle, may be one of the most beautifull castles in Ukraine. Astonishing views on the Mukachevo city. Historical expositions of old furniture, war ammunition and torture room. Sure exposition is not as large as in medeival cities in Europe. But worth to visit and see.

Every turist have to visit this! You can get there by bus number 3 from Center. Just for 1€ you can buy ticket to the castle and visit many galleries and exhibition with nice views!

Great castle even if you visit it early morning when it's closed))

Cost 50 UAH which was reasonable and had many small exertions inside. Nice view of surrounding areas. Good for an hour or two visit.

14th century never looked so good. This castle built centuries ago is a centre of attention and attraction for tourists visiting mucahevo from all over the world.
It speaks to you as you move from the outer castle to the middle and the highest castle. At the highest castle you can see the wonderful view of the city. Most monuments in the castle have English translations also.

Excellent chance to see an old castle with great views of the surrounding area.
