Pretty nice castle, one of the many nearby. You have free entere with Trentino card.

Beautiful place! I was not convinced by the castle seen from the outside, but the internals are absolutely beautiful!

Located in the heart of Trentino, in the midst of apple orchards, the fully furnished castle Thun offers an interesting insight into the life of Trentino nobles in days gone by

What a beautiful place. Everywhere you look you see a potential postcard.

Been there in February 2020. Amazing place, in a stunning location. The castle itself is perfectly maintained and the guided tour is very interesting. The audio guide is recommended but not mandatory: there is a lot to see and to learn, since the place has a very rich and long history. Nice and friendly personnel. Only one remark: if you go during winter or in the beginning of spring, be sure to wear a jacket, as in the rooms it gets really cold. Anyway, definitely recommended.
