Castillo de Peñíscola

Well maintained and renovated. It is very entertaining. You can easily spend 1-2 hours around if you visit each room and walk everywhere. You can catch nice view from different angles. The entrance ticket costs 5 eur per person.

A visit to Peñíscola Castle is absolutely worthwhile. This stunning location perfectly combines history, culture, and breathtaking views. For just €5, you not only gain access to the castle itself, but also to the impressive artillery gardens—offering excellent value for money. The castle has a rich history and was once owned by the Knights Templar, which makes the visit especially fascinating for history enthusiasts. From the highest point, you are rewarded with phenomenal views over both the Mediterranean Sea and the town of Peñíscola. It’s also a pleasure to wander through the charming streets of the fortified old town, where you’ll come across cozy souvenir shops and a variety of restaurants, adding to the lively and authentic atmosphere. All in all, highly recommended for anyone in the area—especially if you have an interest in history and unique locations.

Great place to visit Prices as of Feb 2026 are 5 euros each Adult 3.50 euros for over 60 years old, which is a good overall price, Note: this includes entry into the lovely gardens, so allow around 2.5 to 3 hours for a quick tour if you want to take it all in slowly add at least another hour. Highly recommend you visit.

Great experience. You need to have pass to access to the castle and the garden. There is discount for students. 5€ for normal access. There is multiple view points with access to the garden. They accept card and cash. The view is mesmerising with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. Overall a great experience and once a lifetime experience.

Amazing fortress with incredible views! 🏰✨ Peñíscola Castle is a must-see — stunning sea panoramas, charming old streets, and fun to know it was a Game of Thrones filming location. Perfect spot, especially at sunset! 🌅⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Landmark & Historical Castle This is the Spanish Mont Saint Michel, it is really nice to see and I believe unique in Spain. This Castle sits on the see and looks great from afar. In the town itself you can see a few narrow streets a few restaurants. We enjoyed wandering around here, and can only highly recommend visiting!

I’m surprised no one have ever told me about this place. I saw it in a video and decided to give it a try. It’s breathtaking! One of my new favorite small towns to visit in Spain.

Great day trip. It looks like Santorini. Very blue waters and beaches everywhere. We came in the down season and most shops were closed. It. Reminds me of the Spain version of Mont St. Michel in France.
