点评:Misleading Closing Times Ruined Hohensalzburg Fortress Visit
Incomplete Visit and No Refund
On July 16th, we paid €13.60 (adult) and €5.20 (child) for admission to Hohensalzburg Fortress, after having entered at 5:21 PM (17u21). The 8:00 PM (20u00) closing time was clearly displayed everywhere: on TripAdvisor, Google Maps, their own website, in brochures, and at the entrance.
To our surprise, important parts of the museum were already closed at 6:45 PM (18u45). When we inquired about this at the information desk, we were told that "everything normally closes at 7:00 PM" and that refunds were not possible. This was especially frustrating because the castle was still selling tickets at 7:30 PM. The argument that we could "visit everything" within the allotted time is nonsense, given the wait times and the early closure of sections.
This misleading communication is unacceptable. Visitors pay for a complete experience, but don't get it due to inconsistent opening hours and inadequate information. Customer service was also disappointing, with several counter staff offering no solution. Exept a service line.
Advice to future visitors:
Double-check the exact closing times of all sections of the castle before purchasing tickets, and be prepared for an unexpectedly early closure. Our experience was one of disappointment and wasted money.
翻译:误导性的闭馆时间毁了萨尔茨堡要塞之旅
参观不完整,无法退款
7月16日,我们花了13.60欧元(成人)和5.20欧元(儿童)的门票进入萨尔茨堡要塞,但我们在下午5:21(17:21)入场。晚上8:00(20:00)的闭馆时间在TripAdvisor、谷歌地图、要塞官网、宣传册以及入口处都清晰可见。
令我们惊讶的是,博物馆的重要部分在下午6:45(18:45)就已经关闭了。我们向咨询台询问此事,被告知“所有景点通常在晚上7:00关闭”,并且无法退款。这尤其令人沮丧,因为城堡在晚上7:30还在售票。考虑到等待时间和部分区域提前关闭,声称我们可以在规定时间内“参观所有景点”的说法简直是无稽之谈。
这种误导性的宣传令人无法接受。游客付费是为了获得完整的体验,但由于开放时间不一致和信息不足,最终未能获得。客户服务也令人失望,几位柜台工作人员除了一条服务热线外,没有提供任何解决方案。
给未来游客的建议:
购票前务必仔细确认城堡所有区域的确切关闭时间,并做好应对意外提前关闭的准备。我们的体验令人失望,也浪费了不少钱。
