Accessibility

Please note that Castle Tyrol is not fully accessible due to its historic architecture and hillside location. Many sections of the castle can only be reached bya stairs, making it unsuitable for wheelchair users.

We understand the significance of accessibility and are actively striving to enhance access for all visitors. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work towards these improvements.

Audio guides for children and adults in German, Italian and English are available at the till. The audio guides provide a self-guided tour of the building and its art. As you go round the museum you will gain an insight into how the castle was built and details of the artistic treasures on display, as well as hear details of the history of the region.

Guided tours for groups and school classes are only available if booked in advance.
