Perfect area for urban explorers with endless creepy corridors and tunnels. However, some are vandalised and littered with trash, being about as cared for by the staff as an average crack shack. Stairs can be slippery and are quite steep. The exhibits however are mostly quite neat, but the facility lacks signs and directions, making it very easy to get lost for the average Joe. Wouldn't recommend for smaller children as it can take hours to explore the tunnels (unless you only stick to the exhibits). Said tunnels are also quite dusty, but fascinating to sweep through. :)

Amazing location with good parking and a lot of cool things to explore. Beautiful scenery and buildings. I think young kids interested in building would love it. Also -visit the little restaurant/cafe across the street from the entrance

Great historical destination not too far from Budapest. Other side of the Danube river is Slovakia

Most likely I would've looked at the experience in another way if I hadn't visited Prevnost Komarno the other day. There is no guidance. If there is, then it's probably optional. This place definitely has a history but you don't get to know anything about it. You get a small book but it tells you nothing. The place itself is like the other fortress.
