Boldogkő Castle — Attraction in Gönci járás

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We visited Boldogkő Castle for the first time and it was an unforgettable experience. The location on the narrow rock ridge is spectacular and the view over the vineyards, fields and small villages is simply unique. Walking along the wooden pathway to the lookout point is a highlight on its own and absolutely worth it.

Inside the castle there is much to discover: historic rooms, exhibitions with medieval weapons and everyday objects, as well as carefully designed areas that give a vivid impression of life in a medieval fortress. The courtyard and the restored towers also invite you to explore and enjoy.

A big plus is the parking area right in front of the entrance which makes the visit very convenient. The ticket price is also very fair. Since we came in the low season we paid less than 2000 HUF per person which is a real bargain for what you get.

In summary Boldogkő Castle is a must see when visiting Hungary. Whether you love history, nature or just want to enjoy an amazing view this place has something for everyone. We will...

An excellent tip for a weekend trip with family, children or friends. The nicely renovated castle offers an excellent view of the surroundings. Exposition appropriate to the size of the castle. There is free parking directly below the castle, from which it is a short walk to the castle.

If you are planning a visit, check the opening hours in advance.

There is a nice viewing terrace with a cafe near the parking lot under the castle. And I can't fail to mention the medieval restaurant where you can have a great meal.

I appreciate the possibility to pay by card in the castle and in the cafe...

Very well restored castle. Probably one of the better ones out of the 20 located in modern Hungary. There is a reasonable entry fee but so much to see. There are live shows showing knights sword fighting and some attendants in medieval costumes. The views from here are spectacular. Highly recommended. One note to mention though, everything is written and spoken in Hungarian so have a translator app available if you don't speak the language. May be a bit challenging to navigate by elderly or those with mobility issues. Still worth a visit just for the views as the castle is located on...
