Festung Königstein in Sachsen Concerts 2024

This is a great place for a half day (4-5 hours) visit. The premise is very interesting with some good exhibits spanning the construction of the location and the history/culture behind it. There are a couple on site restaurants with good food options for 12-16 Euro. The location is fairly accessible for young and elderly. There is a large parking garage at the bottom to park at, then you can walk up or for 3 euro take a mini train.

Fortress is amazing and massive!! Entrance fee is fine but parking fee is just a joke 😡 Beautiful scenery. It takes few hours to see everything. You can also rent headphones with 3 or 4 different languages.

An amazing experience! A must see! The views are incredible. The tour is very thorough, and attention to detail in both the explanation of the history, and the architecture - is resolute! The fact that this entire project was built by hand, with simple machines is remarkable. Prepare to spend the better part of a day here, because there is much to see & learn.

It's quite beautiful but if you do a tour from Dresden you'll be there mid day and likely hit the crowds which makes it less enjoyable as you cram yourself in spots to get photos. I highly recommend that if you're visiting as a tourist to maybe rent a car and go early or do a tour that gets there early. Just so you can enjoy the sites without bumping into people everywhere.

The fortress is perfectly preserved. look very powerful. located on a rock and was impregnable throughout its existence. It is possible to get an audio guide. visiting the fortress takes about 2 hours. I recommend dressing warmly as there is a very strong wind at the top
