    The man at the reception is really friendly. He gave our daugter a paper crown. Inside there are two open towers holding a museum, bar and that's basically it. Gor for an hours or max two.

    Very nice and not so crowded strangely. With a bit more marketing i am sure more tourists would come around and appreciate it. It is very well kept/ restored!

    We parked below the castle. It was nice a quiet walk uphill. We did not visit the inside of the castle. The central Celje is also nice place to go to.
