Tips & Advice

  • Buy your tickets online ahead of time through the organiser's ticket shop, so you can walk straight into the castle market.
  • Leave your Schlösserlandkarte at home, because it is not valid for the museum on either market day.
  • Expect only a shortened museum tour during the market, so plan a separate visit if you want to see the full castle exhibition.
  • Let children try the stick bread, cookie baking, crafts and face painting, and keep an eye out for Santa walking the grounds.
  • Dress warmly for an outdoor castle visit, especially if you stay for the fire show and fireworks.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Reduced-price admission for pupils.
