Tickets

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?
