I absolutely loved this castle and the fairy garden around it. We went for a horse racing too just next to the castle. I especially liked the hungarian folk dancers show here.

This castle was the starting point of the recent Trail run we participated, so we also took the opportunity to look around before the race. We had about 30 - 35 minutes, which was enough to walk up to the castle and visit this interesting place. This is only partly renovated, but worth to visit and learn the history, enjoy the great view from the walls. We also enjoyed the friendly and warm welcome from the staff, and good wishes for the race,

It is just about 1 kilometre from the village to walk up to the Castle. Admission fee was HUF 1,200 per adult and it was worth every forint of it! It was nicely renovated with interesting rooms. The castle was one of the best I have ever visited in Hungary because it could give you the atmosphere of isolation, what it had been many centuries before. Also the surrounding area was breathtaking, you could see meadows, forests and even hear animals roaming.

Beautiful view if you climb up to the castle around sunset. It literally took my breath away and I almost forgot to take photos! It is also a great walk up to the castle with fresh air and there are chairs if you need to sit down on the way up. :)

We were here lots of years ago and it was ruined. Now it's a renewed castle (some parts are still under renovation). It's exciting experience wandering among old (13.century) walls. We arrived from Pálháza by car and climbed up to the castle from the carpark. It's minimum 30 minutes, but it's worth. (I recommend comfortable shoes!) The tickets cost 2500Ft for adults and there are reduced prices, too. We got maps and information, so we could walk independently. It's very good and the view is really magnificent.

So many people visiting just stick to Budapest. We were glad we made the 120 km drive north to visit this beautiful part of Hungary for the day. Salgo Castle was easy to find - the car park is large and free. Several trails lead up in the direction of Salgo Castle. The view is stunning. We visited in autumn, so it was even better than expected. Hiked up with our boys, ages 8 & 9 and we all found it very manageable. After a lovely picnic at Salgo Castle, we drove over to Somosko Castle, too -- which was very worthwhile. Great way to "make a day" of the trip up from Pest County when we were ready to spend some time away from the big city.
