Accessed by a very steep path with steps cut into the side of the hill. Not for those with mobility issues. It cost 13 euros which is reasonable but this castle is not large in size. A nice museum was interesting. What is worth the cost however, is the view from the ramparts across the lake towards the mountains. You do almost feel as if you are on top of the world.

The bled castle has amazing views of the lake and hills. Its a pity that the small castle has lost all its internal features. The inside of the castle was renovated and plastered throughout. A gypsum soffit in each room. Its a pity for such a wonderful building of history.

Tomaz Kosir, concierge from hotel Lovec, is authority among tourist guides in Bled, since his passion and knowlegde about middle ages and castles is a real treat. He took us on the most informative and evocative journey through the bled castle medieval appearance, history, myths and legends. Recommended to everybody who would like to experience inner secrets of the Bled most magnificient fortress.

The view is amazing, but you can get this by doing the hike up to it and viewing from the flat area next to the parking lot. It's a bit expensive to pay to enter, in my opinion not worth it because the inside is converted to a museum of Slovenia in general and souvenir shops. If you are looking for an authentic (and not over-renovated) castle experience, visit Predjama Castle instead.

Wow, what an amazing view. I loved the visit there, a lot to see, both outside and inside museums. The only thing that was bugging me the entire time was the wasps in all Bled. It was a sunny day and it was crowded with wasps flying all over. This was in end of september and there was some guide talking about that this was worse in spring! Good visit, don´t know if I would go again if this is the case.

It takes about 20 minutes to walk up to the castle and the steps are in the hundreds! The castle is well preserved and there is a lot of information inside. There are gift shops there and a café that does coffee tea and cake. The restaurant there is quite pricey and you really need to book beforehand. Amazing views across the lake and the town.

This is one of the most gorgeous places. The crystal clear water, the colors of the lake, the mountains, the church on an island, and the castle overlooking the lake — what a fairy tale setting. We would highly recommend the walk around the lake; there is an easy path and it should not take more 90 minutes with stops for obligatory pictures along the way. It can get very crowded from late morning through the afternoon, especially when the tour buses arrive en masse, so plan accordingly. Also highly recommend going up to the castle — the views of the lake are breathtaking. Again, keep in mind the large number of tour buses that arrive throughout the day, so go early or late to avoid the crowds.

Worth going for the view but the castle itself is incredibly underwhelming. Quite frankly I was a bit confused as to what I had actually paid for. I spent a fair bit of time wandering around trying to find what the cost of the ticket covered, convinced that I must have missed something. Turned out I hadn’t missed anything and the castle really is just made up of a few modern looking rooms and looks nothing like what you would expect a castle to look like from the inside. The outside of the castle is infinitely better and you can see that for free from the lake. I’m glad I went just for the view, although it’s worth noting that there are plenty of hiking trails around Bled that will give you an equally astonishing view for free.

As far as castles go around the globe, this one is pretty ordinary. A few interesting features include a replica of an early printing press that changed the way we share knowledge around the world, and a primitive version of indoor heating by radiator in the upper rooms. The chapel is beautiful., but the rest of the facility is rather mundane. On its own, the castle would have a three-star rating from us. However, the real reason you go up to the castle is the million-dollar view of Lake Bled and the valley beneath. That’s worth every penny! So I split the difference and gave it four stars.

Quite a must to visit this place. Not so much for the castle itself but more for its breathtaking view of the lake from above. The coffeeshop serves delicious bled cream cake and refreshing ice tea. Entrance for the castle is pricey and the parking rate has increased. Still, definitely way more worth it than the bled island!
