Guided tours / audio guide

In the Palas and the Imperial Castle Museum there are no guided tours; visitors can go around on their own.

The visit of the Deep Well is only possible with a guided tour (included in the entrance fee).

An audio guide is available for the exhibition at the Palas in the following languages: German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Czech

There are also some devices suitable for use with cochlear implants.

Cost of the audio guide: 2 euros per person

For organisational reasons, we ask groups wishing to use audio guides to make an appointment. Thank you very much!
