Very large castle, beautiful views from the top. You can wonder around for several hours. There are some modern exhibits plus also quite a lot of history is explained. They give an audio guide as well. Be prepared for bunch of stairs. There was a cafe and a souvenir shop. I quite recommend visiting the castle.

Turns out it's quite a big museum, lots of historic items, memories, facts, photos, weapons. Good enough for a couple of hours. WC. Very helpful and friendly staff at the reception)

Large and very nice castle, but don’t expect to much. Everything is super modern inside, including elevators and video projection. Very few artefacts can be found here as the castle was completelly destroyed and build up recently. Gardens are currently under reconstruction.

I was born in Narva, but I left Estonia when I was around 18 years old. So, it's been around 12 years since I saw Hermann (=Narva) Castle (the white tower)! It is the most beautiful place in Narva in my opinion. It stands on Narva River which divides Estonia and Russia. When I was a child, I remember that the Castle had extensive collection of artefacts and items from various periods of time to showcase the history of Narva and the castle itself. I also remember that it was quite hard to climb upstairs for me! However, when I visited castle now, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they got elevator! The exhibitions are now skillfully curated to show different moments of Narva's history. It was great to see physical objects, 3D animations of the life in the medieval Hermann castle, 2D story of how life has changed over many centuries, and old movies of Narva. I loved the views from the top of the Castle! Apart from that, you can explore the yard of the Narva Castle, see various crafts displayed (you can buy them also), and gift shop. There are usually various craftspeople from Estonia and around the world in the summer time, but I missed them because there was preparation for a concert in the yard. I grabbed some traditional drink, kali (or kvass), which was poured in lovely mug. I had to drink it fast because I noticed swallows flying around, and I managed to photograph their chicks on the Castle's wall! The area around the castle is lovely for a walk. You can pass it and see "clock" scupture, for example. There's lots of swallows and seagulls flying around. If you fancy to explore seaside city called Narva-Joesuu, you can go to the port near the Castle and catch Caroline. Overall, if you have just a day in Narva, you definitely should visit this place. The history of Narva is really remarkable.

The Narva Castle Museum, while conventional in its approach, offers a satisfactory journey through regional history. With its modest yet illuminating exhibits, it delivers a solid exploration of the area's past, despite lacking some of the interactive elements of more modern institutions. Upholding a traditional museum ethos within its impressive architecture, it provides a commendable, albeit standard, cultural experience for those drawn to the charm of classic museums. Overall, a worthy visit for those curious about the past.

Really enjoy that museum, it’s very accessible to all English speakers and many things to see inside. You won’t regret.

If you visit Narva one day, Narva Castle must absolutely be the first place to see. Picturesque view, priceless pieces inside will amaze you.

Interesting experience seeing the border and the castle is beautiful. I would say, if you don't speak Russian or Estonian then you may want to get an audio guide in your language as most of the signs are in these 2 languages.

The museum costs 4 euros make sure to visit this place if you are in Narva! The museum has a tower where you will get an amazing view between Estonia and Russian castle, there is an elevator however it only reaches the 3rd floor from a total of 7. They will also give you a coin that you are able to exchange for a souvenir, which is a really nice perk.

Emptiest museum I've ever been to. You come to the castle to feel the atmosphere, understand how the castle functions, see some knights and their swords and other medieval stuff. Instead of that you get empty sterile rooms with tons of weird projected imagery. Huge disappointment and a waste of time. Reply to the reply: love your passive-aggressive tone :). I did have an audio guide, kind of pointless if there is not much to see. Medieval stuff is outside, which defeats the purpose of going inside the castle.

Beautifully restored Castle with central heating! A bit hot on the day I visited in August but must be lovely in winter. Unfortunately the audio guide only relates to the temporary exhibition and not on the castle itself. All permanent displays were in Estonian or Russian only.

Narva Castle has seen massive investments, which resulted in opening new areas, addition of new interactive expositions (also suitable for children). The museum is fairly big and requires a lot of climbing (30 or 50m). Certainly a place to see if you want to learn about importance of the town. Aleksander - excellent English speaking guide.

Very nice modern art museum inside as a bonus

Very informative stands that tell not only about the history of the fortress, but also about why this particular reconstruction option was chosen, how complex all modern communications are in a medieval building, and much more.

I wandered around for a while trying to find the entrance. Fantastic view into Russia from the comfort of the EU.

Old outside, warm and modern inside, interactive exhibits are fascinatingly interesting. I wish I or my kids had an opportunity to learn history by means of such facilities. I was impressed. Thank you Lena, the guide, for an interesting journey into the past.

Exclusive place in Narva. Castle is large I took 3 hours to visit all places and learn history of this castle. There are lot of beautiful views.

Käymisenarvoinen paikka. Siisti. Vaikea löytää, navigaattori ei löydä paikkaa. Sisäänkäynti tullin vierestä oikealta puistoalueen läpi. Rattailla hyvin vaikeakulkuinen. Näkymät linnasta upeat. Jänniä portaikkoja ja korkeita paikkoja. Opastuksen sai virtuaalisen "puhelimen" avulla mukaan. Perhelippu maksoi 30e. Pieni kahvila sisäpihalla, josta pieniä annoksia.

A very beautiful old castle with a long history and beautiful views to the Russian border and Narva river. Tickets were a bit too expensive in my opinion though, 15€ for one person.

Very informative and well kept museum. Ticket includes audio guide, but there is also plenty to read if you don't use the guide. Fantastic views from the top floor of the tower in all directions including across the border to the Russian castle on the otherside. Pictures and text on the walls explain what you are looking at. There is also a well kept courtyard with shop, cafe and and some stilts to play with.

A beautifully restored castle and a wonderful museum collection.

Interesting place. Inside, the exposure is poor. A video projection about the castle is worth watching. Beautiful views of the castle, but tickets for adults are a bit too expensive.

Museum in the castle. It's great! Lots of rooms to explore, great views from the tower and fabulous visual displays

Unfortunately, the museum was closed that day, but the best view of the two borders and the two sides (Estonia and Russia) is there. Amazing place!

Modern museum situated in a historic castle - perfect use of such a building. You're given a smart phone which you can place against NFC tags around the exhibits, to find out more about what you're looking at (in English if you desire). If you go up into the tower, you can look over into Russia, and the opposing castle on the other side.

Beautiful castle. Modern visuals inside

Great views and friendly staff. The castle has multiple places to take great pictures of Narva, of the castle at Novgorod, and of the river. Price is only 4€ if you are a student which is also nice

The museum was not very exciting, but I liked that I had the freedom to explore the castle throughoutly by myself. It's worth going for the magnificent views on Narva and Ivangorod. In summer, there are even artisans working in their workshops. It's like a time machine. Castle itself is over 700 years old, but was damaged in WWII and recently renovated.

A nice experience, recently renovated with two lifts installed, but not in the tower. A weird and unnecessary "installation" with projectors, the same for huge faces, just a such waste of money! Overall a very pleasant experience! Be aware- no toilets in the tower! And no free parking facilities nearby.
