I always take guests to this chateau because it is so well preserved and the setting is beautiful . Coming on to it by car is magical and the castle does make a positive first impression. Some information in English would be nice but it's there in French and in German. It is 6 Euro for adults and 2 Euro... More

This is what I would imagine a fairy tale castle would look like. Truly dreamy. From luxombourg get a ne day luxombourg card. Only €11 and it includes the train, bus, castle, the chair lift and little train looking like car. Well worth it. There is a steak restaurant near the castle. One of the best steak I had. And...

If you can, and depending on the season, take the cable car to the cafe overlooking the Chateau - the views are stunning. The Chateau has been undergoing renovation for quite some years, or is it "restoration" ? The place has been rebuilt in parts to how it once was - and they have made a super job of it... More

I loved returning to the Vianden castle with my two children. The views were amazing, they loved the exhibits, and the feel of the whole town was magical. The archeological displays grabbed our attention, and the descriptions in each of the rooms made us all imagine life there at various times throughout history. The renovation of this castle is remarkable.... More

This was a confusing castle. There was no information available at the entrance and little in the castle itself. There was a lot of construction going on and areas blocked off. Once inside the castle the route was extremely hard to follow. People were looking at each other and asking if they were going the right way. Signs were not... More

One of Luxembourg's must see attractions. Located in a stunning part of the country, this is a great historical site worthy of a visit, followed by a long indulgent lunch in one of the many passable restaurants in the town below. More

This was our first stop in Luxembourg (traveled with significant other and another couple). We enjoyed wandering around the parts of the castle that were open, but had a hard time connecting any historical significance to the rooms. The beginning of the tour was set up like a museum with cases of armor and artifacts that were all explained, but... More
