Hermitage Castle (Altes Schloss Ermitage)

Reviewed By cmbreuer2016 - Queensland, Australia

We visited in winter, a lot of the statues and fountains were covered but it was still stunning. I imagine that in a few months the gardens and parklands would be wonderful. It is well worth a visit.

Hofgarten

The court garden is a generously sized landscaped park between the Coburg Fortress and Schlossplatz (Palace Square). The court garden was built during the reign of Duke Albrecht of Saxony-Coburg, and dates back to the baroque era. Many monuments are found there, as well as the mausoleum of the dukes.

Veste Coburg mit Kunstsammlungen

The “Fränkische Krone” (Franconian Crown) is one of the largest medieval castle buildings in Germany. Martin Luther lived within its walls in 1530. Today, internationally significant art collections are housed there.

Reviewed By ionam558

This is the largest castle in Germany and really superb. Allow at least two hours for a visit. The route through the rooms is rather confusing but it is all very well done. The highlight is the renaissance art collection - really special. Also really good for glass, armour and cannons. And the exhibition of sledges is amazing! I recommend walking up from the park through the trees to really appreciate the castle on the hill. Nice café just outside the castle - not really a proper one inside.

Schloss Ehrenburg

It was the city residence of the dukes of Coburg from 1547 to 1918. Splendid chambers, the living rooms of Queen Victoria, the large hall, Gobelin room, red room, throne room, palace chapel, royal living rooms with precious furniture, and numerous portraits portray the impressive family connections of the Coburg dukes.

We went to Schloss Ehrenburg on a Saturday for the 5pm tour. The young tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate, throwing lots of jokes into the tour. (They were in German, which we don’t understand, but it was still nice). We were offered sheets with English explanations, which were very useful. The palace was beautiful and the history was fantastic, especially as someone particularly interested in Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and Ernst II. The 4 main attractions in Coburg offer ‘combi’ tickets for €13 to enter all, on any days. We visited 2 locations each day with the ticket. The palace is next to a large park where we sunbathed waiting for the tour to start (on the hour). Would recommend this tour for all!

Marktplatz

In the centre of the historical old town with historically preserved architecture: City Hall, City House, court pharmacy (first and therefore Coburg’s oldest pharmacy), statue of Prince Albert. Every Wednesday and Saturday a weekly market takes place here and during Advent is the Coburg Christmas market.

Reviewed By Traveling_with_Hank - Eugene, United States

I visited the Marktplatz for the Christmas Market December 2019. It's in the center of the Marktplatz, and the Christmas Market has stalls placed in a way that forms multiple circles. It was so pleasant to walk around and around and around again. Of course, there is the delicious Coburger Bratwurst (don't miss it!), and lots of other foods and drinks and shopping. Mostly, I just enjoyed it for the people-watching (and the Bratwurst!) Down a nearby street, there are WCs for all the tourists. Coburg is a lovely town, and I can't wait to get back to its Christmas Market in 2021!
