Private residence of the Princes von Thurn und Taxis, the Duino Castle is open for visits both in the internal spaces consisting of 18 rooms that testify to the centuries-old history of the princes and the guests who have stayed here, and in the external areas that wind through different levels with terraces, flowered expanses, and enchanting views. The castle stands on the summit of the Duino Cliffs promontory, overlooking the sea, therefore reaching it requires a long paved ascent. A reserved parking area is located right near the entrance, but for people with mobility disabilities, the staff is available to allow car access inside the Park; the latter extends over multiple levels with gravel surfaces, some accessible via ramps and others via stairs. As for the interiors, a beautiful Palladian staircase connects the ground floor with the basement, first floor, and second floor; the latter are not accessible, but it is possible to visit, without aids, the inner courtyard, the cave room, and the rooms on the ground floor.
