Malbork Castle Guided Tour

Worth a visit if you’re in Malbork, Poland to learn about the history of the castle. I done some historical research prior to going and note that not all things I learnt were mentioned in the audio-guide tour! There are lots of steps and cobbled pathways so be warned if you are not fully physically able. On the day of our visit if was not too over-crowded but what spoilt our visit somewhat is the amount of group tours which caused several backlogs as you are waiting for groups to walk through sometimes small doorways or narrow stairs rather than couples or small family groups. Still worth a visit but you just have to be patient. The audio-guide was good and is GPS / WiFi activated so follows your route / speed of walking. However, after a while we found we just wanted to turn it off and just walk at our own pace than be guided by the audio-guide. Having said that we would not have known the relevance of rooms without the audio-guide explaining what we were looking at.

Imposing and certainly characteristic structure. Since it is the largest brick castle, I recommend visiting it with an audio guide in order to understand what the various rooms were used for and, above all, how it was rebuilt after the war.

Beautiful castle with very interesting history. Magda our tour guide was exceptionally good and made the tour very enjoyable

Alicia gave us an amazing guided tour of the castle… Lots of good stories and interesting information, and particular how life was on a daily basis in the castle. Highly recommend.

Beautiful castle of teutonic knights. We enjoyed the self tour. It's the world's largest brick castle and the largest Gothic fortress by land. It does missing some historical collections. Caries the largest amber collection.
