Tips & Advice
- Purchase tickets in advance online starting November 1st, 2025, as they are exclusively available through the online shop.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes, as you'll need to walk uphill from the city parking areas to the castle.
- Consider using the Reichsburg-Shuttle bus, especially if visiting outside the May-October period when it operates, to avoid parking hassles in town.
- Check the performance schedule for 'A Christmas Carol' and the Christmas Carol Singers to plan your visit around their specific showtimes.
- Dress in layers, as castle interiors can be cooler, and the walk up to the castle might require adjusting your attire.
