Castelgrande

Schönes Originelles Restaurant in den Felsen gebaut, unterhalb der Burg. Geniale Terrasse mit Super Aussicht. Gutes Essen, spezialisieren in Tessiner Gerichte. Freundliche, humorvolle Kellner, guter und schneller Service.
Kann man gut mit einer Besichtigung der Burgfestung und der Altstadt von Bellinzona verbinden. Auch mit Gruppen empfehlenswert.

Eh I think this castle is alright. I do appreciate that it has an elevator that takes you straight up since I hiked all the way up to the two other castles and this was my last visit for the day, so I was more than happy that I could just take the elevator up to this one. But that’s kind of it… it’s a nice castle, and similar to some of the other ones, there’re really nice big expanses of grass that would be really nice to sit and enjoy a picnic in. There’s also a belltower that you can go up which probably would have been pretty cool, but I figured that if you were to hike up to the two taller castles, you would have a better view and you wouldn’t have to pay for it. There’s supposedly also quite a nice restaurant here but I didn’t have a chance to check it out. Overall, it was a nice place, nice castle to walk around, but I wouldn’t spend too much time here. You can take a really nice picture of the two other castles from this vantage point though. If you’re not too tired, I would recommend you hike up it, I think that might make it a more enjoyable experience since I probably missed out by taking the elevator.

DESIGN MUSS SEIN !
