Just a few minutes from Trieste, this castle, that could have easily come from some fantasy novel, takes you back in time and provides amazing scenic views of the Trieste

This is a beautiful castle, in the little town of Duino, close to the seafront. When you're visiting Trieste make sure to make a stop in Duino and visit this ancient roman tower. The castle stands on a cliff with an amazing breath taking view over the sea.

from the ancient Roman tower to the ruins of the former castle, from Dante to Rilke's elegies, from the imposing castle right in the cliffs to the sad story of the White Lady turned into stone...just let yourself go and centuries will be in your hands

The castle stands on a cliff, and it has the most amazing view to the sea and the surrounding hills. It has a museum on 3 different levels, showing rooms furniture and memorabilia from the life of the Thurn-und-Taxis family on 3 floors. There is also a bunker in the rocks, and a beautiful garden, with flowerbeds and a pond.Stand on the terrace where Rilke wrote his Elegies, or where Liszt played the piano!

Castel Duino is beautifully and spectacularly located on the great Karst cliffs above Trieste. As such not to be missed. The rooms were a bit of a let down ... Somehow. The Palladian staircase is a highlight, as are the views around

The gardens are gorgeous and the walk through them is charming. The castle has rear artifacts and the views from the windows are amazing

The town of Duino is quite small but still very nice. The caste is absolutely beautiful, both the interior and exterior look great and some places offer amazing views of the sea.

A beautiful castle with great views over the ocean. The bunker built by the Nazis during WW2 was very interesting and had some old items from that time. The castle itself has been taken good care of and you get access to almost every part of it. Very unlimited access and the entrance fee was appropriate. There is a restaurant inside but we didn't try it.

Lovely castle in a good shape, there are some lovely views from the terraces. The entrance could be cheaper for what is has to offer, though.

I actually prefer this castle over Maxamillion's in Trieste. There is an old WWII bunker, the old castle ruins, a nice cafe and you can see Maxamillion's from the windows of Duino. The gardens are small and quaint, unlike Maxamillion's, but still very pretty. If you are in the area, see both, but DO NOT skip Duino!!
