Royal Castle of Collioure

A fantastic place to visit. Spectacular views of the surrounding area from almost every angle so a great place if you like taking photos. Guided tours are available in French and they have written guides available in several languages. There is plenty of interesting information and displays about the history of the area. There is an art gallery floor with lots of beautiful pieces of work. I would describe the place as family friendly - we saw lots of young children and there was plenty of space for them to run around in the courtyard and have fun. Good, clean toilets and a place to refill water bottles. It cost us 7 Euros each to get in (August 2025) and was well worth the visit. We parked in the car park at the top of the town and used the free shuttle bus to get into the busier areas.

The views from the Château Royal are absolutely amazing — looking out over the sea and the colorful town of Collioure is worth the visit on its own. However, the inside of the castle was a bit disappointing. There isn’t much to see beyond the empty stone walls, and the exhibitions felt limited and not very engaging. Considering the entrance fee, we expected more history or interactive displays. Overall, a nice stop for the scenery, but the interior could be improved to make the visit more worthwhile.

One of the biggest and ancient castles on the region. It’s a true royal fortress as it says. There are a lot of groups of students visiting some excursions so make sure you are prepared. In the castle there are some temporary expositions including the one dedicated to the history of the place in 1930s. Moreover you can find an escape room and a projecting performance. At the end of the visit you will see the underlying rooms of the fortress. It’s as breathtaking as the view from the highest tower.

Pretty castle but empate and boring. 9€ is too much for an empty castle. Views are amazing tho.

An ancient and medieval castle overlooking the sea—a truly captivating sight. Highly recommend visiting for a magical and atmospheric experience!

Lovely little trip to the castle with excellent guides and some sections in English

Great views over Collioure which feel maybe more worthy of the 7 Euro admission than the castle itself. I felt a little underwhelmed at first, perhaps because many of the rooms are empty, but the more I explored the more I enjoyed the visit. Would definitely recommend a visit for the views and the historic reminder of the area of the years especially during WWII

Well worth visiting the castle for the history and the views.
