Cose divertenti da fare a Dover: 26 attrazioni e attività divertenti (2024)

An amazing place to visit and one of England's top castles for sure. The castle complex is huge with the keep offering impressive views of the whole town of Dover and to the French coastline. Easily 3+ hours of things to see. One of the most impressive I found were the Roman lighthouse and medieval church which underline the significance of the site. Also has very interesting WW2 history with a fascinating tour of the tunnels in which the Dunkirk evacuation was planned.

You can easily spend a whole day here - the castle grounds are massive and there’s a lot to see. The tower can be done quite quickly as there’s actually not much to see inside and the interior is very dated but worth it to climb to the top and see the great views.Definitely recommend doing the war tunnel tour - very interesting and very well put together.

Great place for kids. Castle itself is not wheelchair or pushchair friendly and there are lots of steps in the castle to get to rooms and top of the castle. They have got handrails. The rest of the grounds have paths. The tunnels are pushchair and wheelcahir friendly as long as your prepared to push them back up the hills. Had great story telling show for the kids in the castle. Stunning views from the tip of the castle. Staff super friendly.

A beautiful historic location with plenty to do and see for a whole day out. Suitable for families. Plenty of parking. Good visitor centre with information. A good restaurant with good choices of hot and cold food and drink. Very picturesque. Staff very friendly and informative. Wet particularly enjoyed the mini show with the king and his son in the main throne room.

Very recommended. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially the guided tours. It's recommended to finish the tower quickly as it's the first thing you get into after the gate. Then i would recommend visiting the secret tunnels and the underground hospitals as both of them, separate, has limited number of guests each tour, so you have to wait in the queue before going into each one of it. The only thing that they need to put some signs like how to start your tour and what is next and so on. As the current status is, everyone is free to do or visit whatever he wants.

A fantastic day out. There's so much to see, it really does take all day. Especially when the weather is good. Quite expensive but worth getting English Heritage membership to visit.

Dive into history and the gorgeous sites here in Dover. There is ample parking and walkways that are nice if you are pushing a pram. My "big kid" really enjoyed the tunnel tour while my 9 & 16yr old enjoyed exploring the medieval castle and grounds. We spent easily 2.5hrs but could have spent longer here. If you are an English Heritage member, there is also a cottage on the castle grounds that you can rent. Prices are on the website.

This is simple one of the best Castle I've visited, vastly huge and impressive a full day is required. The war tunnels are a must the Dunkirk exhibition is truly emotional. The views from the top of the tower are spectacular. Car parking on site, has a couple of cafes / shops. The role this castle has played in our history is amazing

One of best castle to visit in England - wonderful kept and fully of history. The tunnels are great - but I recommend making them the first things you do as the queues can get rather long. Defiantly allow yourself a whole day there to see everything - we arrived when it opened and lefts just before closing and I'm still not sure if we saw everything. Loads of parking and great for kids.

I love Dover Castle, it is beyond fantasticSo many pivotal pieces of history happened here. You can spend an entire day exploring the premises, walking around and learning. Incredibly views, wonderful staff. A great day out for all ages. The price is quite steep but given the vastness, can't really complain! I believe you can get 10% off if you buy the day before online, so would recommend doing this!

Beautiful place perfect for a family dayout. The view from top is just spectacular. The castle, up and downhill walk around the garden is fun will keep everyone active all day.The staff are very kind and helpful. They will help you plan the route if you're not sure where to start or if it your first time. Overall, the visit was great. Children had fun all the time. The Castle is a must visit place.

I recently visited Dover Castle, managed by the National Trust in England, and it was an incredible experience. The highlight for me was the immersive journey into history at the war rooms, where you could almost feel the past come to life.The breathtaking views from the castle are simply awe-inspiring. The white cliffs of Dover, the English Channel, and the serene landscape create a picture-perfect setting that's not to be missed.However, I must mention that the parking situation was a bit inconvenient. Despite parking being available, we were directed to park outside the castle, which required at least a 20-minute walk, and this was quite challenging with young kids and a buggy. The gravelly and hilly path added to the difficulty.On the positive side, the history within the castle walls is incredibly rich, and the maintenance of the site is top-notch. The tickets were reasonably priced for the value you receive, making it accessible to a wide range of visitors.Be prepared for a lot of walking as exploring the castle and its surroundings can easily take 4 to 6 hours. I would highly recommend carrying water and snacks to keep energy levels up as you delve into this historic gem. Despite the parking hiccup, Dover Castle is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and those seeking stunning views of the English coastline.

Absolutely loved my day at Dover Castle! The tower was my favourite with some amazing views at the top. The underground hospital tour was surprisingly entertaining, really well done, I felt I went back in time. I only regret the medieval Tunnels were closed to the public.

Great Castle to explore, although I was mostly interested in the tunnels that spread out beneath the centuries old majestic Castle.I was always aware Dover Castle had played some important role in the second WW2 so I was really excited to see what lay below the surface,we were not disappointed,if you have a spare day it's well worth exploring this place for yourself it's really is good value for money.

Great place to go so much history. Including medieval and onwards, the WW2 tunnel tours were great, and all the guides were brilliant. We turned up 2 adults and one child, and it was more cost-effective to get the 1 year English Heritage membership as there was a 20% off.

A massive place, so allow I’d say half a day of not all of it to visit. Tunnels are fab and views from the top of the tower are great. Cafe serves half decent food but overpriced as always at these places. Picnic is probably a better option if there a few of you.Negative points for me is the bad signage and the lack of information boards to tell you what things are. Also the amount of distance you have to walk just to get to a toilet! Also the rudeness of some of the staff here is a disgrace! The woman in the shop next to the war tunnels has a bad attitude and would not show my daughter where the magnets were when asked! I wasn’t allowed in the shop due to not having my mask and she couldn’t even be polite about that! Also, if you’re going to enforce mask wearing then at least tell your staff to put their masks right over their face instead of just under their noses. One rule for all not just for us!! I’m not an anti masker, I forgot it.Other then the negatives, I would visit again and allow myself more time to explore.

I was expecting just a castle but it actually has quite a bit more which surprised me. I found the tunnels in the cliffs more interesting than the castle as it's a bit different . We spent about three and a half hours there and missed a few things to see. The kids seemed to really enjoy it.

Amazing day. Kids loved it, loads to see. Would advise anyone who wants to go in the tunnels to get there early and do it straight away as wait times can build up. Summer holidays they have things for the kids to do on the green in front of the castle. Get the map in the ticket office it will help to make sure you see everything. There is a cafe and tea room but also plenty of picnic benches and grass if you take a packed lunch.

Gorgeous view and super friendly staff! Little to do on Dover itself, but would definitely recommend a day trip just in the castle. With nice weather, you can even have a picnic on the castle grounds.

What a fascinating place! I used my mobility walker and it was a bit of a challenge in some areas, but there is a courtesy disabled electric bus going constantly around the site which will pick you up and drop you off where you want to go. The staff are so friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable about the castle. The views over the Port of Dover are amazing. The Naafi Restaurant was nice although a bit pricey for a family to dine there. A meal of a small portion of macaroni cheese and a portion of garlic bread was priced about £9. I had a little bottle of juice and a bottle of spring water and it cost £5.75. I subsequently found that complimentary tap water is available. The staff were very helpful and friendly and there was an excellent disabled toilet with an adult hoist. Complimentary Mobility Scooters are also available on a first come first serve basis. If you need assistance to visit the castle, you can get a complimentary ticket with your adult ticket for your carer. We had a fantastic experience visiting and there is so much to see and do that to do it justice it would take another visit!

One word Stunning! I know if you heard it but never came along here you will feel the same even if you’re British or not. From the very beginning with a tiny bridge it starts your special journey. Castle, chapel, view or war tunnels it’s truly stunning. Be careful about to spare enough time because it’s big enough and tunnel tours are not self made tour. If you’re an English heritage member it’s free entrance. If you’re not become one.PS. I would expect a better museum admission because of that many things would be more original or similar as it is not look like a toy specially inside the castle if it’s not main purpose of the design.In tunnels you don’t even see the video specially at the second part.

Stunning experience! Staying in Premier Best Western Hotel on the seafront. Staff were so lovely. 5 min drive to Dover Castle. Fantastic 2 nights away!

I was a bit taken aback by the £30 entrance fee! But there is bundles to see and do here. Spent nearly 2 hrs walking around, up the Tower and along the battlements. Fantastic views of the Channel and the port. Nice cafe onside too, if expensive. Would advise again ordering the pizza, we didn't have it but everyone that we saw order it, sent it back.

Very easy, enjoyable day out. The Great Hall was the highlight, whilst the underground tours of the tunnels provided a fascinating glimpse at the second World War. We went on a Friday so it was relatively quiet but with a few school trip groups.

Great place. Dogs were ok on the grounds for casual exploring for around 2 hours, then they had a sleep in the car while we did the keep itself for another hour. PS, if you really like the castle there is even accommodation available for short stays in the castle itself!

Went there and was shocked how big the place was took pretty much a whole day to get round (fairy fit adult). Thousands of stairs and steps so great work out. Lovely place your views are amazing ended up getting a membership works out cheaper in the long run. The history of the place was something else seeing it close up and being able to walk around was amazing. Definitely worth a visit.

A nice place to visit with scenic views all around and a peek into the history of the castle! You can also see the artillery and anti-aircraft guns used in WW 2. Be ready to walk a lot, though! Mind that the queues to the WW 2 tunnels might be longer!

Unforgettable experience!!!! Many place to visit (we spend 4 hours there) and the view are BEAUTIFUL me and my partner walk there from the city centre. Make sure u choose the sunny day and don’t forget to enjoy the view!!!

Visiting Dover Castle was an enriching experience! Delving into the history of England's first frontier was fascinating. The castle's historical significance is palpable, and the views are breathtaking. A must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone curious about England's rich heritage.

Really must visit this! So much to see and we only had two hours. Enthusiastic and super-friendly staff, impressive and well-kept collection. And apart from all that: the views over the harbour and the sea are absolutely stunning!

Great place to visit if you're interested in the history of the defence of England in the past, especially in WW2. Churchill's War Rooms are well worth touring inside the chalk caves, but you need to be fairly fit to do it. A good day out, Restaurant Gift shops and Toilets are available.

What a fabulous gem of a place. So interesting and so much to see and do. The war tunnels are excellent! My family and I loved it all. The only reason I’m taking a star off is the food available. We ate in the cafe in the great tower and the food was absolutely dire. Inedible actually. This needs to be remedied. Then 5 stars.

Excellent and very well preserved example of castle building. Make sure to save plenty ty of time to experience the WWII tunnels and stories. Make sure to join English Heritage prior to going and sign up for entrance to the site and centers. If short on time, visit the tunnels first, then the castle grounds.

A beautiful castle, steeped in history. However, when there are no events, it can seem quite empty. We went on a Saturday. The ww2 tunnels are impossible to get a space to tour. Would recommend going down to those early.Lastly, if you have mobility issues, the castles and grounds are full of steep hills and climbs if you want to see anything. They do have a mobility bus that does a round robin, which is a great touch.Food onsite is expensive and decent quality, but it is cheaper to take a picnic. Not a lot of "shelter" unless you are inside, so take waterproofs/warm clothing if walking around.Would recommend viewing.

Entry fee is a little expensive if you don't do the 2 included tours. Grounds are clean and well labeled. May be difficult to walk the grounds as there are a lot of hills. There were several interesting places to view with information and guides available. You are able to enter most of the buildings, and there are two areas where you can only access with a guided tour (included with entry fee), a cafeteria, and gift shops on the grounds.

Fantastic visit! Be prepared for lots of walking and would recommend a full day, or even split across 2 days if you are a member. Some fabulous interactive things for kids and the wooden play area was great. Only let down was a few of the refreshment places were closed so those that were open were very busy and ran out of main things before lunchtime like kids bags.Wartime tunnels is a must, recommend going early as queues can get busy.

So many layers of history. From the Roman era to WW2, there is a lot to explore here. Terrific views from atop the towers. Castle is fantastic alone but be sure to check out the tunnels and their use during WW2. Well worth a visit.

Huge site, with lots to see. As a dog owner, dogs have very limited access on the site. I'm fine with this, but it's not clear why English Heritage policy varies so much. We have visited similar sites as members and have been able to access much more. Biggest issue wasn't able to get any drinks because dogs not allowed in cafes and no outdoor vendor at all. It would be a benefit to consider a kiosk type arrangement somewhere.Lots of kids activities laid on for Easter, queues for the tunnels and hospital, but well managed and didn't wait long (dogs also not allowed into these).Would benefit from Audio guides. Lots of history but not that well explained, so some areas information overload and some with no information at all. Some new displays evident which were much better.

Very large grounds with lots to explore. The castle itself has been kept in a way that represents how it would of been many years ago. The 2000 year old lighthouse is a fantastic piece of architecture that has really stood the test of time. Lots of modern fitments still in place including gun posts when it was protected in WW1/2. Great views from the top looking down across Dover. Plenty of parking, restaurant and lots of toilets to use, staff are very friendly and helpful. A great day out for everyone.

A must visit. Massive place with lots of different periods of history. Medieval tunnels are shut until summer 2024. We really enjoyed the great tower and looking through all the rooms. Great views of Dover. The church was nice too. Great place for people of all ages. Can be very windy.

Great day out.The 2 tunnel tours are very well organised, the cafe is very good, and the Castle and grounds are spectacular. There is the added bonus of St Mary's in Castro Church, and a Roman Lighthouse in the same grounds.

One of the great castles in the UK, apart from the tour guide for Operation Dynamo, with whom we waited for about 50 minutes. The tour could be improved, as there are only a few video clips that are watched underground. Instead, I recommend watching the movie “Dunkirk” to avoid wasting time in the queue, especially if you have young children. The view from the top of the great tower was magnificent.

Dover Castle is a true gem of medieval architecture! The site impresses with its grandeur and rich history. Perched on a scenic hilltop with stunning views of the English Channel, the castle transports you back in time. The preserved interiors and guided tours provide a deep dive into England's history, from Roman times to World War II. The underground tunnel network, which served as command centers during the war, is particularly fascinating. There’s something for visitors of all ages: interactive exhibitions, picturesque gardens, and the chance to climb the castle towers. Highly recommend if you appreciate history and beauty!

I had the pleasure of visiting Dover Castle on a beautiful sunny day, and it was an experience to remember! The weather was perfect with a cool breeze that made exploring the castle grounds even more enjoyable.The castle itself is an impressive sight, rich in history and magnificently preserved. Walking through the ancient halls and rooms, I could almost feel the stories and events that have unfolded within these walls over the centuries. The views from the battlements were breathtaking, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding countryside and the stunning coastline.The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, providing interesting insights and answering all our questions with enthusiasm. The exhibits were well-curated and informative, adding depth to the experience.The mix of beautiful weather, historical grandeur, and excellent service made for a perfect day out. Dover Castle is a must-visit for anyone interested in history or simply looking for a splendid day trip. Highly recommended!

What a place! If you are in Dover you absolutely need to visit this place. A ticket cost around £25.If you want to see most of it you can walk between 2-3 hours.

I have been to this castle many times with my children. Everytime they love it and find something else to be excited about. The war tunnel are amazing , the castle is spectacular! On a sunny day you can see France from the castle. Spectacular views and steeped in history. I have been many times as a teacher and as a parent and highly recommend due to the facilities, the history and the knowledgeable staff!

The castle was absolutely beautiful and lots of fun to go around and see all the details of how it was made and how it was used, I loved that we were given a map to use to go around and discover everything about Dover Castle. They had some of the history of ww1 and some of the weapons they used here too, they also did a tore around the tunnels they made around the war witch we really nice to go though. Overall I would highly recommend visiting Dover Castle.

Plenty of parking. We parked in the overflow (attendants helping ensured a smooth process)I was worried with all the cars and seeing many coaches arrive it would he crowded, but it wasn't at all.The whole experience was delightful. So much history, educational exhibits and actors bring the past to life.Beautiful views over Dover and the Channel.Restaurant and cafe available.Toilets were clean.We have purchased the English Heritage membership, there are multiple local sites, so the membership has already paid for itself!

I grew up in Kent so Dover castle was always a school trip when I was younger and then somewhere I took my own children. I visited on this occasion with someone who'd never been before. A lot had changed since I was last at the castle. The cafe was amazing. Lots of great choices. Prices were high as you'd expect but for the quality, I personally felt it was worth it. Great for families as they do a lunch bag for children. But I think if you can take your own then of course it would save money. The staff in every area of the castle were lovely! Everyone we spoke to was informative and happy to answer questions. The wartime tunnels is something I've not done before so I was keen. You have to wait (not long) as tours run every 20 mins or so. The only negative to the day was that we struggled to hear the tour guide in the tunnels. There was audio playing which was quite loud in places and we had no chance of hearing the guide over it. I would say that perhaps this needs looking at but it was still a valuable experience.

Beautiful large castle with lots of grounds to walk around, a really interesting walk around the interior with halls to visit and a route up to the roof as well as fascinating wartime tunnels with a really fantastic tour and videos. A couple of gift shops too with the usual stuff and a lovely cafe with proper cooked food too (although obviously quite expensive). Overall an excellent day out and you could easily spend a full day here so make sure you have plenty of time!

Amazing castle so much to do and see. Staff were really knowledgeable and helpful. Great views and for us a fabulous day out. Would highly recommend.

Lovely historical place to visit. Loved the interactive tours of the underground tunnels and the hospital. Great views as well. Although be prepared for a lot of steps up and down the hills 😅

So much history, a full day at least to take it all in. Unfortunately on this visit the weather was awful so appreciation of the grounds was not high though my pics show how beautiful it is. A few places to eat, not bad with prices and tasty. Would definitely recommend.

Great day out. Stunning views of Dover port, beautiful castle, friendly staff. To see nearly all attractions would take 4 to 5 hours. There's many steps and up hill paths, be prepared for a lot of exercise. We booked tickets online as these were cheaper. Car parking is free and at 3 different levels, be sure to find a ticket office to get a map and wrist bands.

Massive site. Would recommend a whole day if you want to explore everything. We were there for approximately 4 hours and only saw half the site.A well preserved military site spanning key moments in British history.Great playground for children. Multiple toilet blocks on site (3 at least).Various museum sections.Warning: steep walk uphill and round from the car park to the main entrance.Recommended to book in advance. Guide boo was informative also.
