Summary/Abstract: The hypothesis of the paper is that the operation of heritage sites, castles has a strong potential that can be converted into a strength if, on the one hand, efforts are made for the entertainment of the visitors and for building out the experience service; on the other hand, if castles identify themselves not solely as a heritage tourism product but show willingness to accommodate the full range of cultural tourism products within the historical walls. The case study is a collection of the good practices of castle tourism in Germany, as a verification of the above statement. The focus is on the best examples of successful operation, innovative solutions, the practice of “living castles”, paying attention to dominant linkages to cultural tourism.
