Beaufort Castle in Luxembourg offers a unique dual experience, featuring the atmospheric ruins of a medieval fortress and the well-preserved Renaissance castle. The medieval ruins, while stunning, have limited accessibility due to uneven terrain and numerous stairs, making them challenging for those with mobility issues, whereas the Renaissance castle offers slightly better, though still limited, accessibility. Visitors can explore both independently, but a guided tour of the Renaissance castle is highly recommended for historical context, often including a delightful Cassero (blackcurrant liqueur) tasting. The castles are typically open from April through early November, with specific hours varying by season, so checking the official website is advisable; they are generally closed during winter. An adult entrance fee is usually around €8-€10, covering both sites, and a typical visit to thoroughly explore both castles, including a tour, lasts approximately 2 to 3 hours. Comfortable footwear is essential, especially when navigating the medieval ruins.
