The ticket prices already include the fees for parking and the shuttle bus.
The online ticket must be booked for a specific day with a specific one-hour admission time slot. The admission time slot is merely the period during which the online ticket must be scanned at the admission control. The length of stay, on the other hand, is unlimited during regular opening hours.
General information on admission prices
From 1 February to 27 March 2026, the castle will be in a transitional phase leading up to spring. During this period, the following applies:
- Monday to Friday: The museum rooms are closed due to renovation work. The castle grounds, the castle restaurant, the chapels and the cellars are open.
- Saturday and Sunday: The castle grounds, museum rooms, castle restaurant, chapels and cellars are open.
Therefore, a reduced admission price applies during this period from Monday to Friday.
Would you like to visit the castle with a group of 30 or more people? Then please contact Monika Eppler, our expert for group travel, via E-Mail.
Tickets can be purchased on site at our car park shop, provided that tickets are still available. On busy days, it is quite possible that tickets will no longer be available on site. We therefore recommend purchasing tickets online, which are also cheaper than tickets purchased on site.
In general, all admission prices include the shuttle bus between the visitor car park and the Eagle's Gate (entrance gate to the castle) as well as car and motorbike parking fees.
Parking fees for motorhomes are 5,00 € for 1 day / 10,00 € for 1 day + 1 night (motorhome parking tickets are available from the online ticket shop).
Members of the Freundeskreis der Burg Hohenzollern e.V. receive free admission to the castle grounds and the exhibition rooms all year round. All you have to do is make a free booking for a specific day and admission time in the Hohenzollern Castle online ticket portal under [Redeem existing ticket] [Circle of Friends members] and present the ticket together with your Circle of Friends membership card and identity card at the entrance control. The annual membership fee for the Freundeskreis der Burg Hohenzollern e.V. is € 40,00, for persons up to the age of 23 € 20,00. Membership can be applied for here . The membership card is usually sent within one week of receipt of the application.
Please note that tickets for Hohenzollern Castle cannot be cancelled or rebooked.
... that by purchasing your admission ticket, you are directly contributing to the preservation of Hohenzollern Castle, which, unlike many other castles and palaces, is still privately owned and finances its own ongoing maintenance and personnel costs without government support?
Schwarzwald Plus Karte (Black Forest Plus Card)
Are you staying overnight in a hotel, guesthouse or vacation apartment in the Black Forest?
Then please ask your host whether they are a member of the Schwarzwald Plus Karte (Black Forest Plus Card) before you book an online ticket for Hohenzollern Castle or before you visit the castle. With the Black Forest Plus Card, you can visit many leisure facilities free of charge - including Hohenzollern Castle.
If you receive a Black Forest Plus Card from your host, please book a free Black Forest Plus Card ticket in our Online Ticket Portal in the section [Buy tickets] [Schwarzwald Plus Karte] and show this ticket together with the Black Forest Plus Card at our admission control. A subsequent ticket refund is unfortunately not possible.
Please note: Hohenzollern Castle is no longer a member of the AlbCard.
