Definitely recommend it. Went there first day of the season unfortunately no audio guides (even though they should be offered on Sundays. Guided tours only in Spanish. Still worth it for the view .

Maddie Groves

The most beautiful view in Alicante- looks out over the city & sea. The entrance to the top closes at night depending on the time of year, so I would check before hiking up after dark. Bring a camera !

A good trip to make during windy day (or a sunny-up to you). The fortification with some ruins at the hill where you can get by a lift and admire the beautiful view of the town from 166 m.

Hani Ben Mussa

Amazing place to visit. We were amazed that you could park free and there are no charges. The views are amazing and the history superb. A must go place.

Nika Grigoryeva

Good view , nice castle , you can walking there by foot, and after climbing, it is comfortable to use elevator from the castle . It follows directly to the beach

İf you visit here, you will see the best scenery of the city ☺️

John Hazbolatow

Nice view from up there, and you should definitely stop by whenever you are in Alicante. It was free for me because the ticketmachine didn't work????

Laura Hale

It is worth avoiding the long walk by taking the lift. Cared I around 4pm as it can get packed with school groups. Go earlier in the day.

Instituto Bernabeu

Alicante's best view from our beautiful castle ! Don't miss It!!! From 166m. High, a spectacular view from the blue sea and the city

Beautiful views from above, but the way up is not well signaled, encouraging you to take the elevator up.

Mike Nhu

The castles has long history and good scenic view from the top

The best variant of sightseeing: ancient castle in the heart of the modern city .

Fernando Raposo ????

Go for the sunset . Stay for see Alicante during the night. Very romantic .

Branislav

Missed the sunset because the lift to the castle was closed (but was available for people going DOWN). If you want to get to the castle on time, go on foot.

Gasman Roger

Free lift for disabled or over 65 well worth a visit

Jonathan Lee

Spectacular panoramic views from the top. Be prepared to wait for the lift.

Minh Lee Orzolek

Visita obligada si vienes a alicante! Preciosos atardeceres desde lo alto de la muralla. Muy recomendado también el mercado artesano que ponen en el patio en verano.

Nina Valieva

Потрясающее место, весь город Аликанте как на ладони. Плюс в том, что тебя поднимает на такую высоту лифт (конечно ж за отдельную плату ). Наверху сильный ветер, поэтому берегите свои головные уборы.

Guiomar Cañero Martínez

Hacen espectáculos, increíbles vistas de la ciudad y posee un encanto especial ver la puesta de sol desde arriba.

Kris ☝????

Sí subes en coche la entrada al castillo es gratis. Ascensor , 2,40 €. Las vistas son espectaculares, eso sí, buen calzado porque el suelo es irregular. Terrazas abiertas para poder tomar un refresco.

Katya Bakhmetyeva

Вход на лифт со стороны пляжа . 50 метров от подвесного моста в сторону центра. Стоимость 2,70€ с человека

Castillo ubicado en la cumbre del Monte Benacantil, a 166 m de altitud. Además de incluir el Museo de Alicante entre sus instalaciones, en ocasiones celebra exposiciones con carácter temporal.

Patsapel

Visita muy recomendable. La entrada es gratis, castillo bien conservado con unas vistas impresionantes de la ciudad. Tomate una caña en alguno de los kioscos del patio de armas :)

Vanessa Lucena

Precioso y emblemático castillo situado en el centro de Alicante. Merece la pena visitarlo y si te esperas a las 7:30 pasas gratis al ascensor aunque solo cuesta 2€

Joaquin Ortiz

Unas vistas de la ciudad de Alicante impresionantes . La entrada es gratuita y una vez dentro te transportas al pasado. Me encanta. Llevo yendo desde niño y seguiré yendo.

Francisco Javier León Miranda

En él se celebran Mercadillos medievales, hay museos itenerantes, y algún que otro evento relacionado con las fiestas de la ciudad -como la Palmera que da comienzo a la Crema de les Fogueres-.

BEST WESTERN Hotel Albahia

Maravilloso castillo , cargo de historia que da un visual panoramico increible sobre la ciudad de Alicante y sobre el mar azul !!

Jose C Casimiro

Nuestro Castillo de Santa Bárbara, es sin duda uno de más bonitos y mejor situados que tenemos en España

María

Preciosas vistas panorámicas de toda la ciudad, sobre todo del color del Postiguet. No obstante, verlo desde el puerto o a lo lejos es de un encanto incomparable.

Екатерина Ядамсурэн

Подняться можно от ж/д станции по дорожке, полюбовавшись красотой города , а спуск на лифте в город будет бесплатный :)

Helena Aaa

Хорошая прогулка, если подниматься пешком. Случайно набрели на лифт , думали покатаемся-так нас в тоннель на выход вывезли)) назад везти не согласился, сказал покупать билет и стоять в очереди ((

Luis Urea

La vista de la ciudad desde aquí desde el puerto hasta adentro es espectacular.

Vanessa Martini

Vale la pena subir, conocerlo y contemplar la vista de la ciudad desde aquí

Erika Brotons

Impresionantes vistas de toda la ciudad, cargada de mucha historia , perfectas locaciones para tomar fotos
