Great view from the castle, however the tour was all in Catalan and we only speak English and Spanish. The church was only open with a guide so they should have offered more tours or been able to gi… Full review by lauratE8238NM
What are the visiting hours of castle cardona for tourists? I can't understand the website. I'm thinking of visiting in June 2020, maybe Sunday June 28th or Monday June 29th but the website makes it look like tickets are only available on the weekends. And one person posted that it is free to visit the castle. Can someone help explain this? Do you have to buy a ticket or a guided tour to visit the castle? What are the hours that the castle is open or closed? Thank you!

Hey there! Cardona is a smaller town and it appears to not get a huge amount of tourism in general so I think the tours are only on the weekend. I think July and August are the only months you would get an English speaking tour for the castle, but I may be wrong so it's best to shoot them an email to see if you can get one. I think it costs 8€ for an adult ticket, and the tour is just over an hour. You can book these online as they may not have a tour guide there for English speaking tours if there is no interest as the tour guide I had was hired by both the castle and the salt mine in the town and would bounce between the two. The castle itself is "free" because it is also a hotel but there are sections of the castle that can be accessed via the tours. If you cant get a tour I still recommend checking out the castle as the views are amazing and the town is lovely as well.
How do you book a trip to the castle with an English speaking guide? (On the official website I can see only info about Spanish and Catalan tours). Also, can you go round without a guide? And is the town worth visiting?

Oh dear I realise you told me already it's free to enter the castle. Sorry!
