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.

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.

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!

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.

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 ☺️

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.

Beautiful views from above, but the way up is not well signaled, encouraging you to take the elevator up.
John HazbolatowJuly 30, 2013
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👍

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

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

The best variant of sightseeing: ancient castle in the heart of the modern city.
Minh Lee OrzolekJanuary 15, 2019
Not too hard to walk up. Beautiful view. It’s possible to take the elevator up or down.
BranislavSeptember 29, 2013
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.
Jonathan LeeOctober 18, 2018
Spectacular panoramic views from the top. Be prepared to wait for the lift.
Gasman RogerFebruary 13, 2017
Free lift for disabled or over 65 well worth a visit
Darren AscioneNovember 12, 2023
Come later in the day as it is very hot before sunset.
Olimpia NewloveAugust 26, 2011
The view is stellar - best in the city. Make the trek on foot to check out Alicante from all angles

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 ValievaJuly 21, 2018
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 MartínezAugust 18, 2014
Hacen espectáculos, increíbles vistas de la ciudad y posee un encanto especial ver la puesta de sol desde arriba.
Kris ☝🏼August 1, 2015
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.

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.
PatsapelDecember 8, 2013
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 :)

Вход на лифт со стороны пляжа. 50 метров от подвесного моста в сторону центра. Стоимость 2,70€ с человека
Vanessa LucenaSeptember 15, 2015
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€
BEST WESTERN Hotel AlbahiaApril 29, 2013
Maravilloso castillo, cargo de historia que da un visual panoramico increible sobre la ciudad de Alicante y sobre el mar azul !!
Francisco Javier León MirandaNovember 4, 2013
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-.
Jose C CasimiroJanuary 6, 2016
Been here 5+ times
Nuestro Castillo de Santa Bárbara, es sin duda uno de más bonitos y mejor situados que tenemos en España
Vanessa MartiniJune 22, 2018
Vale la pena subir, conocerlo y contemplar la vista de la ciudad desde aquí
Екатерина ЯдамсурэнJuly 9, 2014
Подняться можно от ж/д станции по дорожке, полюбовавшись красотой города, а спуск на лифте в город будет бесплатный :)
Helena AaaOctober 12, 2015
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((
Joaquin OrtizMarch 3, 2013
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.
Luis UreaDecember 7, 2021
La vista de la ciudad desde aquí desde el puerto hasta adentro es espectacular.
Erika BrotonsAugust 18, 2014
Impresionantes vistas de toda la ciudad, cargada de mucha historia, perfectas locaciones para tomar fotos

Самая лучшая точка обзора))) к самому входу можно подняться на такси или на лифте)
