  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Note: This seasonal tour runs from April to October. Optional entrance tickets to the castle interior tour and the falconry flight show are not included and can be purchased on-site depending on your preferences.
  • Good to Know: Because Burg Kreuzenstein is built on a hilltop, the short walk from the parking area to the castle gates follows a slight incline. If you wish, the tour can easily be paired with a stop at the Burgtaverne, a charming on-site restaurant designed like a traditional medieval tavern, where you can grab a refreshing drink or a snack before heading back to Vienna.
