Sitemap: every page on this site
Everything on schlossambras.com, grouped by what you are trying to find out. The short version of most of it: the castle opens daily from ten until five, it shuts for the whole of November, the Habsburg Portrait Gallery in the Upper Castle is open from April to October only, it is about three kilometres out of the old town at Amras, and its own admission is one of the six listings this site compares.
