Castle visit including guided tour

The fairytale Hohenzollern Castle towers high above the Danube. To this day, the residential castle remains the ancestral seat of the Princes of Hohenzollern. Let yourself be carried away by the eventful history of this family. Here, history comes alive. First mentioned in 1061, the Hohenzollern dynasty shaped European history like no other noble family. Over many centuries, each generation left its own unique mark. It is not only the magnificent rooms that reflect historical contemporary history, but above all the people who lived, worked, and made decisions behind these venerable walls. As strategists, diplomats, and visionaries, they guided the fortunes of the House of Hohenzollern with foresight and awareness of power, and had a lasting influence on politics, culture, and society. Visitors can experience this eventful history up close during regular castle tours. Alternatively, an individual tour with an audio guide is available in eight different languages. For kindergarten and elementary school children, there is also an exciting and age-appropriate children's tour. Another highlight is the included visit to the historic Knight's Hall and Armory. With around 3,000 exhibits, it is one of the largest private collections in Europe.
