We have never spent more than 5 hours in a castle as we did here. We went to the large parking lot for buses and other cars, which is 400 meters away on a hill and cost only 2 € for 24 hours. The entrance fee was 9 € for adults. The staff there was more than nice to us. Very helpful and even willing to answer our questions. For two euros more we got an audio guide which was very helpful. Take a jacket because some rooms were a bit cold. In the summer you can walk down the hill outside of town and go for a walk or picnic. It is 100% worth the money and time. Plus there is a rich history from the past that is not easily forgotten. Kudos to the Veste Coburg. We will be back ...🎉🎉

the walk up is very nice through the park and you get to experience a lot. The castle itself is in really good condition and you can look at art up there too. The view is priceless and if you’re interested in architecture its definitely worth the visit!

quite beautiful place. you can see beautiful Coburg stadt. around there, there is beautiful park and enjoy taking a walk. you schools also go to its museum. you can see the quite beautiful things and have a nice experience

Absolutely stunning fortress! The views from the top are breathtaking and it’s amazing how well kept the fortress is. The walk up is a little taxing because it gets gradually higher, but it’s doable with breaks. There are benches here and there if you need to sit, but they’re not totally consistent in distances from each other. I believe there’s a bus to and from the fortress if you are disabled, but the walk is lovely if you are able-bodied. Definitely a must-see of Coburg!

Great castle and building and the most interesting part of this castle is only wooden room. It's so beautiful.

The fortress of Veste built from the thirteenth to the seventeenth century is imposing and stands on the hill. Inside it houses the palace of the Prince Elector of Saxony and the rooms are furnished or host museum exhibitions. Walking up from the center of Coburg is a bit tiring. You can use the autobs N ° 5 which makes 8 trips a day from the city center or the tourist train which leaves every half hour from Schlossplatz from 10.00 to 17.00. There is a car park on the site.

amazing place that you must see

It is huge and historic castle top on the hill. It is difficult to take a picture of overall of castle in the short range, because it is really huge. This castle is almost fortress in middle age. There are many historical displays of furniture weapons in middle age in this castle.From the castle, you can see the overall the town of Coburg. It is best to come here by car. If you have no car, there are bus from the Coburg station and city center after noon. On the other hand, you can visit here by walk. It is like a little hard hiking.

The most beautiful heritage of Coburg. It has an enrich history. You and visit the whole Veste free of cost except the museum. It has several view points.

Really enjoyed this great collections and when we went there were more staff than visitors. Better to make it a one ticket for all areas. Also refreshments were all machine issued no other areas open but that was ok in the end.

Different level of experience. Vast historical collection to explore. Canons/Armor/Weapon rooms were just amazing. Make sure to get the audioplayer from the front desk, as there are a lot of interesting stories to hear.

It was a lovely adventure. It is a beautiful place. The craftmenship is extra ordinary.

One of the best places to visit in this small town. I loved the small hike to the place and the garden on the way. It’s beautiful. The palace is worth visiting, well maintained & gives a great panoramic view of the city from the top of this palace.

Beautiful place! There was an exhibition on but unfortunately the 'historical route' through the exhibition didn't really make logical sense. Loved the horse drawn carriage display.

Good place for hiking but unfortunately I visited at close day. Want to visit again after they open.

Veste Coburg is an incredible castle and really worth seeing. If you're walking from town up the hill just make sure if you're not fit to take your time as it can be a bit steep. There's a route up with steps that's shorter but if you struggle with lots of steps there's also a way that doesn't have any steps and is just walking up an incline. There is also a road up there and a road train that you can take too, so it's possible to get there without walking up the hill. The view from the top is amazing and the castle is incredibly well preserved. There's a gift shop at the top where you can buy things including water. Well worth the walk up there.

A beautiful Gothic Fortress with an excellent collection of Canons, hunting weapons, and much more.

Oh my goodness…. What an amazing place !! So full of history and in a very good shape. The view from up there is worth walking up all the way. Try also the restaurant at the entrance to the Veste.

Very well presented. Beautiful grounds. Do not try to walk up to it from the town. There is a reason they built it up there.

A very nice fortress with a lot of history stories and heritage. It is one of the most important place in German history. Found out a lot of things about the old German Hohenzollern dynasty. The walk up to the place is through a nice park for about 30 minutes. The fortress inside building has many interesting architectural details and the museum was open in April until 17.00h.

Really cool place to visit. Didn't spend the money to go inside but just walking outside was great. If you want a relaxing place to walk, can highly recommend.

Absolutely gorgeous, well worth the visit

A very nice view from a hills to the city Coburg. With fresh air and beautiful nature around it.

Well, this is a must-see. You can't come to Coburg and skip this fortress. There is a history with Martin Luther. Many great Cranach paintings. Much more to see. Plan on a few hours here. If you are physically fit, it's worth the hike up the beautiful park to get there.

Amazing fortress. It was really worth going up there. Very interesting place and large museum - great overview of the town

Big and big... definitely worth a visit

Astonishing place, and the view from up there!!! breathtaking !!!

Worth it every time

Great place to visit in Coburg, especially in summer.

Since watching 'Victoria' in the UK, I've alwasy wanted to visit Coburg Castle and it did not disapoint. The views are great from all sides of the estate, and there is plenty to see and walk around. Due to COVID we did not look in the house but I hear it is good. There is a cafe for drinks and your deatils will be taken. the walk up is very nice and well worth it.
