Carl GriffinDecember 27, 2015The best view of the lake and its church can be found here. A few very interesting exhibits can be found in the castle such as a model Gutenburg press.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Pinky VkNovember 12, 2017Amazing views from the top and a good climb up the hill.. there’s nothing much to see inside the castle apart from a few restaurants and souvenir shops which is a shame but stunning views
Se7enthAngelJanuary 1, 2018Frm St Martin's church,(depending on yr fitness) 15 mins walk uphill. Look 4 sign-posted 'Grad. Get 10% off with Bohinj's Winter Mobility Card. Towers & a terrace offering magnificent views. Free Wifi

Marc KaiserAugust 22, 2020Stunning views and an amazing dinner. The restaurant has a great local wine selection. Members of the service team are very knowledgeable and friendly.
- Se7enthAngelJanuary 6, 2019At the castle's forge, v paid the blacksmith 2Euros to make our own copper coin on an anvil. It was the 1000th year commemorative. The blacksmith comes from the 4th generation of blacksmiths
Li JustinSeptember 26, 2016Spectacular castle overlooking gorgeous lake bled. There's a handmade printing shop here where you can print a bookmark or a certificate with the castle and your name on it!
Two Boots and a FarwaAugust 23, 2017Not much in way of exhibits but the view is more than worth it and there's a forge and a printing press. The guy at the printing press is really nice and will show you how it's done, which is cool.
Mar ThoJune 30, 2018Very well maintained castle. In my opinion the museum comes in the second place. Mainly they want to earn money and charge you €11,- per person. Really nice view on the lake, that worth the price...
Vassilis NJuly 30, 2016If you need a reason to pay for the castle (10€) the view to the lake and Bled in general is all that counts!! A nice exhibition about Riklo as well and a below the average museum among other things.
Nicole CApril 16, 2014It has a great view of Lake Bled and the nearby mountains. Going up was a bit hard, though, as the path was quite steep. They also have free wifi. 👌
Camping BledMay 7, 2013A history museum, restaurant, a demonstration of Gutenberg's printing machine, a herbal gallery, a forge, a wine cellar where you get to fill and cork your own bottle, and great views - perfect!
Maria ElenaApril 27, 20138 euros to visit the castle seem a lot especially after the hard walk uphill that leave no other choice than going in..but the stunning view of the lake it's totally worth it
Julia SavinaDecember 30, 2017More impressed by the view from the castle, than by the castle itself. Bit still worth checking - what else to do if you got stuck in Bled
Reeta LaaksonenSeptember 23, 2015lovely views over Lake Bled, enjoyed best on the cafe terrace with the famous local Bled Cream Caje and a latte!
James HemsleyJanuary 1, 2016Built in 1104 the views are amazing. Great place with a lot of interactive visits.
Nur UmarFebruary 22, 2016Kalede yemek Şiddetle tavsiye edilir. I tasted the best foods in the Castle restaurant. The view of the Castle is spectacular..- Luke StanleyMarch 31, 2017Bled castle is arguably the oldest castle in Slovenia. Excellent panoramic views across Lake Bled.
- Edgar TothMay 3, 2014Great place to see in Bled, Slovenia. Lovely view to the lake however entry tickets for the Castle are highly overpriced for 9 euros.
Sarah HarwoodAugust 15, 2015Exceptionally friendly & helpful staff. Really tasty food & stunning view...
Lynnette NolanMarch 19, 2016Amazing view of the lake and town, plus a student discount if you have an ID.
Krisztian VaraljaiAugust 13, 2016Great view but not much to do other than checking the view. The ticket is 10€ which seems a bit much for the few minutes you will spend there. Parking is not easy, there aren't many spots.
TONY COBYMarch 25, 2016Well worth the climb up the stair's! What a View--be sure to visit the Print shop!!
Dilara❥January 14, 2015Fairy tale place. You can bottle and seal your own wine in the winery. Amazing view!
Balazs HorvathMarch 8, 2019You should visit if you are in the area, the view is spectacular but don't expect anything else from the entry fee.
CherylAugust 27, 2014Nice view, not much else unless you really like castles. Student discount 7€. Otherwise hike surrounding areas for free. There's free wifi here too!
- Michael Fox-RabinovitzSeptember 5, 2017Wonderful castle, looks great from below, and impregnable from within
Jeff MApril 20, 2012The best spot for photos in Bled. Also be sure to check out the chapel- amazingly detailed paintings adorn the walls.

Barbee BorosNovember 7, 2014The castle entrace is expensive but you walk around the castle for the view
Zoe ParkeyAugust 15, 2017Very pretty, be careful if you have mobility issues. Access steep. Views spectacular over the lake
Mark LiuOctober 27, 2018It's an okay view and okay museum. Do not have the coffee and the rip off cream cake. Nothing like the real deal.
