Bouillon Castle

The inside is much more interesting than the outside. It's totally worth it buying a ticket to go in. There is also a Falcon live show, which I could find the times online, so I will post here the timetable for you to know when the shows are taking place.

Our family had an unforgettable adventure exploring Bouillon Castle during our September visit! The size of the castle is impressive, with so many rooms, tunnels, and staircases to discover. The kids absolutely loved exploring every corner, and we all felt like we were stepping back in time. One of the highlights was the birds of prey show, which was a unique and thrilling experience for all of us. Watching the majestic birds in action added something special to our visit. The views from the top of the castle are breathtaking, offering stunning panoramas of the valley and river below. We spent a good amount of time just soaking in the beauty from above. Overall, Bouillon Castle provided a perfect blend of history, adventure, and fun for the whole family! Highly recommend it for anyone visiting the area.

This was a great place to visit! They are making an effort to make it fun and interesting. The audio guide was very good and gave great detail about the Castle and life there. We were lucky to arrive in time for a falconry show - this was very well done and lots of fun! Highly recommended!

Nice place to walk and explore. A little bit difficult to climb as the way is narrow. Also there a museum to visit. Photos from museum.

Its huge , good taken care castle. 2 hours to 2,5 hours would be enough to see all. I am missing English language as nit only Franch and Dutch are coming to visit.

The castle is so well preserved with so much to see, took us more then 2 hours haga. Also watched the falcon show which was amazing!

Very impressive ! Best to combine with "Medieval experience". Audio is very interesting. Don't miss the birds show during day and light show in the evening

the 30minutes falconry show was in french/dutch so i couldn't understand the explanation. but it was worth seeing the birds take flight and be near audience. cons...there is no signs with written explanation within the castle. you have to buy the booklet or rent the audio guide

Very pretty views of the small town of Bouillon. We bought the little guidebook instead of taking the full tour, but it was still very helpful. The castle is very beautiful, and has long history. The only room that I chose not to go into was the Torture Chambers. Other than that, it was a very pleasant walk on the grounds. My favorite part of the castle was the bird show. The handlers did it in French, but it was still worth it because the birds are so beautiful to look at. If you're near the town of Bouillon anyway, then you might as well take the tour.

Dating from 988, and set on a natural bend in the river, Bouillon Castle dominates the small town of Bouillon in Wallonia, southern Belgium. It was from here that the unlikley combination of Godfroi de Bouillon, his mother and Peter the Hermit set out on the first crusade in the late 1090s. The castle is surprising large - you think you've seen most of it but it just keeps going on and on - with great views of the town below. It is great to explore for adults and little ones alike. If you still have any energy, Bouillon is set in a natural amphitheater and there is a great walk up the hill by the river to a viewing point above the town.

Bouillon is a very interesting little town situated in the valley of the Semois and I recommend you the visit of the Castle. This medieval castle of the 13th century has been well restored. The three drabridges leads you to the main palace with the Room of Godefroy de Bouillon. On the top of the castle you have a breathtaking panorama on the town and the Semois! But the main attraction is the falconry with birds of prey. There are owls, eagles, hawks, vultures and falcons of course. The falconer is asking volunteers to participate at this impressive bird show! Don't miss it: it happens in the courtyard of the castle.
