Häme Castle — Attraction in Hämeenlinna sub-region

To begin, Häme Castle is a pretty place😍😍🤩🤩 situated along a river🏞️ and surrounded by grassland.🌾 This castle is absolutely beautiful. *⚠️Just a heads up, some places are off limits due to construction.🚧

The staff are very friendly and seem passionate about their job, since the lady who assisted me gave me some pamphlets about the place (*which I had to return).

The castle🏰✨ is amazing❤️🗝️. Actually amazing is an understatement since there are no words to describe how beautiful this place is. It's huge on the inside, with decent water closets (*I even got a chance to use the royal restroom🚾🚽🧻🧼). Furthermore, there's a dining hall; you can see knights shiny✨ armour 🛡️⚔️🗡️and other cool palace features. 🃏✨ It set up like a house of Anubis maze on the inside, so try to remember your way out.

This castle is medieval style and if you're into the Merlin series and pretty places then this place is for you. Also if you want cool pics for insta. 😘📷

It looks like somewhere Merlin🧙🏻‍♂️ could be filmed.

Although it took 17 euros💲💲💲 and about 1hr⏳🚌 to get here, it was worth it.

In addition, Häme has a little museum shop w/ souvenirs you can take (I mean buy). I got a little snowball🔮 and a rainbow🍭🍡 lollipop.

Furthermore, there is also a prison house museum which read "Closed due to private event" to my surprise and disappointment since, I really wanted to go there and even bought a ticket. 🤔🤨 I also heard it's haunted.👻🏣

There's also an exhibition.

You can take a walk along the river outside.🏞️

I was gobsmacked there weren't a lot of people at this amazing place.🤴🏽👸🏾

Visit Häme Castle if you get the chance as it was the highlight of my visit to Hämelinna . It is truly a wonderful royal experience to be here and I feel blessed🙏🏾 to have had the opportunity to walk on royal ground. 👑💎💍

It's an actual heaven on earth. 🌁

*Tip: some of the ground is pebbled, so take shoes suitable...

Checked out Häme Castle yesterday, and here's the lowdown. The outside view of the castle is absolutely gorgeous—perfect for snapping some great photos. But honestly, that's where the excitement ends.

The inside visit of the castle was a bit of a letdown. It didn't feel worth the ticket price (14 euros for adults, 9 euros for students). There wasn’t much to see or do inside, and it didn’t live up to the expectations set by the beautiful exterior.

We bought tickets with QR codes, expecting someone at the entrance to check them. However, there was no one there, and it seemed like anyone could walk in without a ticket. This made buying tickets feel pretty unnecessary.

My recommendation? Skip the tickets and enjoy the view from the outside. Even the view from a passing train is pretty impressive. If you’re there, a stroll around the walkway is nice, but there's no need to go inside unless you're really keen.

Final verdict: If you’re just going to see the castle, don't bother. But if you plan to explore the area and maybe check out the Aulanko Observation Tower, then you’re in for a more...

This castle is a MUST-VISIT one in whole Finland! It's quite close to the train station (like 20mins walking along the very beautiful river Hämeenlinna has) and it's not only the Castle, but the museum inside (with guided tours), the museum of the Prison and also the Military museum! With those three, you literally have hours of visiting, and it's quite interesting (the last one the most, in my opinion).

The castle entrance costs 8€ for students, 12 for adults. Then you have packs for the three museums that you can visit undefinedly! So if you don't have time to visit one, you can go another day!

The castle itself is quite well restored, maintained and able to visit whenever! Close to there, they celebrate the Medieval fair and also the Wanaja festival, both are super nice! Inside, you can go to several bathrooms, there is a coffee shop and you can visit some limited-time exhibitions!

Definitely, a wonderful spot to stop by during your trip...
