We spent over an hour here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The rustic grounds are wonderful for photos and contemplation. Inside, there are many frescoes in various states. It has a real lived-in feel. I loved the graffiti on the walls from various ages. There were some interesting exhibits of gravestones, furniture and other artifacts. As you can see from my photo, there is even a special alphabet attributed to this region. It's useful for deciphering some of the graffiti which is carved or chiseled in the walls. Mostly, we just loved exploring the castle ~ turrets, jail cells, etc., and the nostalgic feeling of time gone by. We were greeted by a friendly employee who gave us some valuable advice, especially about parking in Locarno. If you park between 12 & 2 pm, your parking is free! That allowed us to make the most of our time in the city.

Architecture is really interesting but it is not worth paying the fee to go in. The exposition inside its rather dated and does not offer anything special in terms of history or interesting facts about the construction.

We paid 10 CHF to get in, but 95% if the signs are only in itallian. Nice building though.

Nice castle. The whole museum outdated. Staff not very friendly. Go there just to see the castle, which is interesting, but could do with some repair and maintenance.

There were barely any people, really quiet and enjoyable castle! You can even hear alot of the birds. Interesting material,clothes and alot of story about it! Kinda dangerous in the top side of the castle there were some open places so I would be careful if I brought a kid with me. But from 0/10 experience i would rate a 8/10

Beautiful castle in Locarno

Visconteo Castle in Locarno, is part of a Swiss heritage site. This castle is partially demolished and is now a museum.

A great collection of Arp's work. Probably the best in the world. A definite must for lovers of modern art.

Nice walk

Beautifully preserved castle in the heart of Locarno

Non saprei dire di più

mostra interessante e ben presentata

Wonderful castle and staff

Food was OK, but one person from the service was rather rude and would not allow us to push the table to let everyone sit comfortably. Also the use canned mushrooms on their pizzas, when we asked why, the answer was that there is only fresh mushrooms in november and december. The next day we bought fresh mushrooms in the supetmarket..

Welcome venue during a rainy day. Very well presented and explained artefacts.

Good castle but in my opinion could be better exploited
