Great little castle, not sure weather the entrance charge is just for the museum part or the whole castle? As people seemed to be walking around without paying?

Loved the castle, the walk around it & also the exhibition there. You’ve got to walk in the tunnel under the castle.

Well-preserved castle with a beautiful view of the two sister castles.

Always wanted to visit and finally got a chance to go on a warm winter weekend in early February. I thought we will have to pay an entrance fee to enter or the castle might not even be opened at all in winter but to our surprise, the castle is opened and free to enter! I had a lot of fun exploring the different corners of the castle and the castle was also bigger than I thought, with many corners to venture into. The views were amazing and different at different corners. Best of all, it is actually not crowded this time of the year!

Beautiful castle with one of the best views of castle grande and Bellinzona city. There are a few stairs that one has to climb reach there and the entrance was initially difficult to find. But eventually, the view was all worth it. When we went there ( September and December) the museums were closed.

In the canton capital of Bellinzona, on the hill behind the train station, lies the wonderful Castello di Montebello. The Castello can be reached by shuttle bus from the train station. Visiting the castle courtyard is free, but there is an exhibition in the large tower for which you have to pay an entrance fee. The whole castle looks very well renovated and can be started almost completely. Within the castle complex there are many green areas that invite you to have a picnic.

A must see if you visit the Ticino area. Unfortunately, the museum is closed till March, so plan your visit from spring to fall. The trail to reach the castle is nice and not too hard, thus if you don't mind walking, avoid the bus and climb up there.

Stunning views of Bellinzona , the castle is intact parts of it renovated and are being used to this day. Beautiful place worth visiting and touring its grounds.
