What you pay for
Only the castle is ticketed. The park, 22 hectares on the Grignano headland, is open free to everyone from early morning.
Castle rates:
- Full €17, including the exhibition "Una Sfinge l'attrae" on Maximilian of Habsburg's Egyptian collections. The museum lists this rate as valid until 2 November, so check the price after that date.
- €7 for EU citizens aged 18–25, with the exhibition.
- €2 for EU citizens aged 18–25, castle only.
- Free for the categories covered by Italian state-museum rules.
The 18–25 discounts are for EU citizens only; bring ID. On 4 November, National Unity Day, entry is free for everyone, 9am–7pm.
You can buy at the ticket desk or online through CoopCulture, the operator the museum's website links to. The Castelletto and the kitchens are visitable only by booking, also through CoopCulture.
Among resellers, Tiqets sells entry with the exhibition, while GetYourGuide and Headout sell entry with an audio guide or app. The official audio guide exists (€4, about an hour) but you rent it on site.
