With the tickets we booked online, we got in straight away without having to wait at the ticket office in the castle. Everything worked really well. The castle itself is a beautiful place, located directly on the lakeshore. The rooms and the exhibition are impressive. It was definitely worth a visit.

Everyone was friendly, despite the 35-38 degrees. It is a special place, you can feel it on the spot. I loved the arbor, the whole garden is special, even today... Unforgettable memory for my wife, brother-in-law and sister-in-law🇮🇪☀️⚓️❣️

The museum itself (the inside of castle), is okay, nothing that you didn't already see somewhere else in some other castle, BUT, the castle itself (outside), the views, gardens, everything around is just wow, mesmerising. We had no problems with tickets, we didn't have to wait or anything!

Beautifully arranged furniture, fine art and tapestry. I could imagine how life more than a hundred years must have been. With the audio guide you could choose your own tempo instead of trotting in a huge flock after a guide. Unfortunately the fountains in the castle garden were off, this would be the cherry on top.

spectacular Miramare Castle because of its enviable location. Great reservation that made us skip the queue even though at the entrance the QR code of the ticket was not read by the device, but they let us in anyway. Very disappointing was the shuttle service for visiting the park; 6 euros to be transported in a really uncomfortable way and with 15 minutes we were shown a tiny part of the 22 hectares of park in passing.

Your experience

Step into the timeless elegance of Miramare Castle, a Habsburg retreat built between 1856 and 1860 for Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian and his wife, Charlotte. As you explore the graceful white castle overlooking the Gulf of Trieste, the 54-acre park surrounding it unfolds like a living collection of the archduke’s travels as an admiral, with exotic plants and scenic pathways.

Inside, wander through over 20 lavish rooms, from Maximilian’s Chambers to Charlotte’s Music Room, each steeped in 19th-century charm. The Gothic, Medieval, and Renaissance architectural styles blend seamlessly, with intricate furnishings capturing the era. Outside, the park invites you to explore restored stables, delicate greenhouses, and the enchanting ‘Castelletto’—a cozy castle-within-a-castle that retains touches of Austrian heritage.
