For hikers, Plitvice Lakes National Park offers a variety of trails that wind through alpine forests and meadows, past sparkling lakes and waterfalls. The park also contains 16 freshwater lakes that are popular for rafting and kayaking. The park was the site of armed confrontation during Croatia's war of independence in the early 1990s, but has since been renovated as a source of economic wealth for the region. Today, visitors can explore hiking trails and enjoy beautiful natural scenery.
One of the most majestic places I have visited in my life, the winter landscape is beautiful, as well as the paths to walk for hours with a different landscape every 3 meters.
The waterfalls are incredible and it is a super good space to go with pets and be there for at least 3 or 4 hours touring the place.
The staff was very friendly
Verenise Flores P?rez — Google review
This is without a doubt the best place I have ever been. Nature is wonderful, here you can see its pure beauty. The place is fantastic, the staff is helpful, there are small restaurants, gift shops, restrooms in the park. The boat fee is included in the entrance fee. I recommend route C, which is not challenging, the total distance is eight kilometers, with a negligible elevation gain. Cool buses will take you back to the main entrance at the end of the visit. 5*
Bal?zs Gr?f — Google review
The lakes were simply fantastic, the price is worth the visit, but I recommend mixing up the paths. We were there when the park opened, after the tour and going back to the entrance area we were very glad we went at 7 am.. the place was crowded.. a lot of tourists really. I recommend going as early as you can, if you want to visit calmly and are not too fond of crowds.
Marina Perin — Google review
Absolutely Stunning creation of Nature!! The hike is beautiful and offers wonderful views. The park has 2 entrances and both entrances have 4 routes to choose from. We entered from entrance 2 and did route H which is quite similar to route C from entrance 1, it is almost 9kms and requires 4 - 6 hours. In the peak season, a ticket costs 40 Euro for an adult and it’s better to buy tickets in advance. Ticket price includes the bus and boat ride.
Trail is well maintained and has clear directions as per routes. It was a bit crowded due to summer vacation, so try going as early as possible in the morning.
Wear comfortable shoes, hiking shoes are recommended though. Carry enough water and some snacks, though you can also buy inside the park.
Definitely worth a visit!!
Pooja Kukreja — Google review
A very very beautiful national park. Worth visiting.
Better to go early in the morning or afternoon to see the water color as aqua blue/green. By evening since the sun starts setting in the west, it won't reflect on water and may miss the beauty of this magical place.
Trek route C or H is best as it covers both lower and upper lakes. There are beautiful waterfalls in the upper lakes. It will take a minimum of 6 hrs to cover this route.
Ak — Google review
It had poured down rain all night and morning, so I delayed entering the park until late morning. The guide suggested which trails to take for a good half-day excursion. I really don't think you can go wrong. So beautiful!
S Zollman — Google review
From the desk where you buy tickets through the park and back to the souvenir shop - great experience. Kind staff, positive energy.
All accommodation that is in the park is exquisite and great for welcoming guests for years to come.
Nature is splendid and breathtaking. We have treasure that we must preserve.
I'm always happy to come back here.

I can imagine it gets crowded in the summer but on a rainy day in April is was empty, calm, misty and incredibly beautiful. The park itself is intelligently set up, with well-maintained paths and platforms that swirl in-between and right up to the waterfalls without clashing with the landscape. In fact, the park seems to be a model of how to organize such a site in ways which make it ecologically responsible, easily accessible for a lot of people, with well thought out branching paths, sufficient rest stops that are discreetly integrated in the setting and plenty of (silent) boats/shuttles.

It is a beautiful natural park. The views are just amazing! It has very colourful landscapes and lakes. It is definitely worth the visit and to spare a lot of time. Unfortunately I did not had the opportunity to camp for a longer time but now have seeing what I have there, I’d definitely think about staying more time in a next opportunity. I went as couple and during summer which is allegedly the best time to see the crystals on the water reflected by the sunlight.
Emerson Franco — Google review
Beautiful national park. There is a bus that goes directly from Zagreb to the park, it takes approximate 2hrs and 15 minutes . I strongly recommend to purchase the tickets online in advance. It is good to spend at least 6 hours walking around.
Vilma Vega — Google review
Wonderful park. We were lucky to find an amazing sunny weather after the heavy rain of the days before. I suggest to follow the H path from entrance 2. Come early in the morning (we enter at 9am) to fully enjoy the experience without annoying crowd.
Samuele De Gaetano — Google review
Spectacular! The park and the lakes are the Moseley amazing lakes I've ever seen. The color is unreal, the waterfall are stunning. The park is crowded, even early in the morning but very organized. Attention that you also need to pay for parking separately.
Yuval Mohl — Google review
Beautiful. There are several hike options but it can get very busy during the holiday season, even in early September. The trails are quite narrow and you could get held up if one person stops to take pictures.
The cafeterias within the National Park do not offer much choice, especially if you are a vegetarian.
Gopika Avanoor — Google review
I’d like to give this place 5 stars just based off its incredible beauty. But, the park has a bit of a bad design for being able to see it without being overcrowded, which the design and setup of the park causes. There’s basically one narrow boardwalk through the various levels of the lakes, which have no railing. So you really can’t stop anywhere and just take in the view or get pictures that aren’t horribly rushed. They also have a ferry system that appears to be badly overwhelmed with extremely long lines (we didn’t take it because of those lines). Other than that, this park is absolutely gorgeous. Crystal clear blue/green/turquoise waters everywhere. Many waterfalls and overflows and lush green trees. Just absolutely picturesque. But other than that boardwalk, there’s not really much else to see or do, no other trails or anything. There is also timed entry, so either purchase tickets beforehand, or be prepared to wait until the next time available. All in all, if you’re in Croatia, you should definitely go check out this park. Crowds notwithstanding, it’s still a pretty cool place and extremely beautiful.
Ashley Fountain — Google review
This is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. We went here at winter time and the price for the entry was only 10 euro per person, kinds were free since they were 5 and 6. The beauty of the lake and waterfalls can not be described with words. We are looking forward to see it in all season.
Maja Goričanec Ordanić — Google review
The best, must-visit spot of Croatia. The landscapes this park offers are breathtaking. I recommend trail C, and if you have plenty of time, K seems like a great choice too.
Gyuvin K. — Google review
One of the most beautiful places on the earth!! Definitely recommended to take the maximum possible route. We took route C and 20k steps were worth it. Check the weather forecast before planning the visit. But it surely will be beautiful in all the seasons.

Great experience, absolutely wonderful and outstanding place. Set of lakes and waterfalls is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Must have to visit any season of the year.
Alex Oleksenko — Google review
Wonderful place for hikes and be in oneness with mother earth. Unbelievably serene and mind-blowing.
Upper lakes are less crowded and quiet while the lower ones are thriving with tourists. Plan your day and start early to enjoy the serenity of the park.
Raghunath N — Google review
I split the trip into two days - one day for the upper and one for the lower lakes. I highly recommend splitting it up. I also did the end of day and early day to avoid the crowds which was perfect. This is truly a magical place with just breathtaking scenery.
H. Rai — Google review
The most beautiful part is the first lake plus the overview of the waterfalls. The rest of the park is nice but for what it is, it's overpriced and overcrowded.
A lot of people are happy with just seeing the waterfalls so they could separate hikers from sightseers to fix some of the overcrowding.
David Oskarsson — Google review
This is one of those place that you must visit in Europe. The colour of lakes is just magical. You can choose 5 trails on different difficulty level and distance. You can go there with kids but I think that it could be dificult with stroller. On trails you can use a boat or buses (on some stages). There are a lot of stops with toilets and even fast food. On the stop next to the boats there is tap with a water that you can pour to bottle. From the cons: huge crowd. The amount of people is crazy there. The price - 40EUR per person - very expensive. Moreover you must pay for parking, too. It is not included in the ticket price to lakes. You must buy ticket in advance, tickets are sold for particular hours.
Agaatje Toffi — Google review
A must go if you're in Croatia. Pick the longest route, it's not a difficult stroll. There is a boat ride in the middle, but it is very smooth and relaxing. Experiencing the layers of this beautiful green-blue park is definitely and experience you won't forget. The longest route could take up to 6 hours, but if you're not taking your time you can easily complete it in 4 hours.
K L — Google review
This place is absolutely breathtaking! You need good shoes if you want to enjoy the longest route (K). I really recommend to start early in the morning because the park is extra full after 11!
You at least need to see this place once because it is ….spectacular!!!!!
Roxana Jangaene — Google review
The best natural park ever, the water color is absolutely amazing. Very very very nice. we did everything in one day but i wish we had the time to spend two days at least.
Vincent ROGER — Google review
Amazing landscape. A few hours drive out of Zagreb and worth the effort. To truly appreciate this national park, you should spend one or 2 nights to complete the longer hikes. Hiking routes are well sign posted. Park entry is €10 per person.
Highly recommended
Raph — Google review
We bought tickets online and all went perfectly even if it was crowded but still I really like walking and enjoying nature and taking pictures.
Everyone should visit Plitivice at least once in life. It's one of the most beautiful National Parks I have ever seen.
I will visit again.
Vedrana Šuković — Google review
Loved my visit to this national park with its lakes, waterfalls and woodland hills.
Free parking at this time of the year (early march) for my motorhome. The facilities are great for coffee and food. There is a boat ride or you can walk, I took the boat but walked back. The sun was out so made the scenery extra special. The lakes and various waterfalls are impressive. There are nice pathways and clear signs. Everything was brilliant, highly recommend. I will be back.
Richard Attoe — Google review
A must visit paradise in Croatia and one could easily get lost for half a day to a couple of days depending on the interest. At least half a day in a rush to get a taste of paradise is a must.
There are 2 entrances with a good number of parking places which seemed not crowded during October maybe in season it could be packed. Entrance tickets and parking was way below what I expected for this gem of nature. During the season it is a different price but worth paying. I do not understand why some reviewers complain about the price when it is so much of a treasure.
Overall the park is well maintained with good hiking trails, clean restrooms and good cafes and restaurants.
The park can get crowded but as a sensible tourist one has to plan and not blame the crowds on the park. The boardwalks can be packed with tourists hanging to take pics and not respecting others, just be mindful of this crowd
We parked at the first entrance and did the long trail - K which includes the boat ride and option to take the shuttle back to the parking lot. The trail starts off at the lower lakes with views of the amazing waterfalls before heading through the various trails, boardwalks and then the upper lakes.
If time permits I would recommend adding another trail to enjoy more of the views.
Near entrance 1 there is a really good restaurant for an amazing lunch or dinner. The day we visited it was not crowded and we were able to enjoy a peaceful lunch.
Overall a must visit park for all seasons.
Pradeep Ponnuswamy — Google review
Most beautiful waterfalls I have seen anywhere. Absolutely stunning. We did the full loop over the lower and upper lakes and it was about 12 miles. It took us 5 or so hours total with a stop for lunch.
We did this in March so the crowds were easy to handle. Particularly away from the two different entrances.
Diego Salas — Google review
Magical place. Makes you stop in owe and wonder.
The trick is to visit in low season (we went in April) and arrive early (we took the first boat from entrance 2 @8.30 and were the only people on it!). Then as we walked there was almost no one there and so it felt as if we had the whole park to ourselves.
Marta Walters — Google review
The park is amazing. Well worth the trip even in the off season. We visited in late March and there was hardly anyone here. The park was really beautiful, even though the trees had not leafed out yet. We spent two days in the park and we were glad we had the second day.
Corey Reimer — Google review
Definitively over crowded (also in March) but a must-see when in Croatia! The upper lakes are more beautiful than the lower ones, so pay attention when they are accessible as they are closed in winter. Alltogether something for your bucket list like the Grand Canyon or the Eiffel Tower.

The history museum Gediminas Castle Tower in Vilnius tells the story of the city from its settlement by Grand Duke Gediminas in the 15th century to present day. The tower, which is one of Vilnius' oldest and most popular tourist attractions, offers a 360-degree panorama of the city and exhibits objects related to Lithuania's history.
What an amazing piece of history to have been able to visit. It's quite the walk heading up there so have your walking shoes on. Breathtaking views on the observation deck on top of the Castle. You have to check this place out if you ever visit Vilnius.
Jesse M — Google review
Great tower and once part of a very large fortified defence system that covered the entire beautiful old town of Vilnius. Stunning views from the tower and there is a half decent museum inside. €6 entry fees.
david howells — Google review
What is worth most about the tower is the panoramic view of the city. Best times are early in the morning or at sunset. Pay particular attention to the operating hours of the cable car because otherwise the ascent is by stairs (as I did).
panagiotis dimitrakopoulos — Google review
Interesting looking building. I would recommend paying to visit the tower. There is a lot of modern history here covering the struggles and efforts made by Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia in their cause to become autonomous. Lots of pictures and information available.
The view from the tower overlooking the centre is nice although in my view you can get an even better view from The Three Crosses Monument.
I would definitely put the castle in my top list of things to do in Vilnius.
Legends l — Google review
We were on a snowy day of minus 8 degrees. Getting up in such a cold is not physically simple - certainly for a person living in a hot country. Reaching the top reveals an amazing view of the entire painted city. We decided not to enter the museum and the cable car did not work either.
Alonit Ronen — Google review
One of the must visit landmarks in the city.
It has a small exhibit that is worth having a quick look around but the main attraction is the tower itself.
The views from the top are of the entire Old Town and some of the rest of Vilnius and these are unrivaled.
There is a hillside train to assist people getting to the top of the hill if walking isn't possible but the only way to access the tower is stairs.
Connor Butler — Google review
Easy hike up. You can take the stairs or pay 1€ each way up and down for a total of 2€ using the tram. Great views of the city Vilnius. Also has a museum you can enter i believe but you may have to pay i could t read the sign and honestly didn’t even bother translating.
Johnny Ruelas — Google review
The calling card of Vilnius) The 48-meter high tower provides an outstanding view of the capital city. You can get there on foot or take a cable car. There are some historical exhibitions inside the tower but the most important thing is that you can make unforgettable photos.
Iryna Panina — Google review
Couldn't get up to the castle because the funicular (cable car) was out and the long, winding path too icy. The museum was worth a visit. Good historical look at Vilnius.
David Miller — Google review
Small, but great views around it.
You don't need to pay anything to get to the hill itself, however if you want to see the tower it's an extra charge.
The tower itself has some historical material worth exploring. There are actually two stairs, and one leads to the terrace on the top.
Overall it may be quite small. Also no restrooms in the building as far as I could tell.

Fabulous view of the old Town.
You can pay for the lift to get you to the top and walk back down.

Impressive view of the city, the ticket to enter the tower costs 8€ and includes some exhibitions about Lithuanian history. I went walking but there is also an elevator. I would really recommend to go up, views are impressive.
Dani Moti — Google review
Nice castle to visit in Vilnius. It offers a great view of the city from the top. Stairs are a bit steep, but just watch your step. There’s also an elevator to reach the top
Davide Rossetto — Google review
All that's left from the castle is one tower and some ruins. You can climb the tower or use an elevator, entrance is paid.
To get to the hill you can use a ferry ride for 1 € per person/ride. Or you can climb pretty steep hill and stairs to get on top. Not recommended for people with movement problem/bad knees etc. - use furnicular instead.
However, you can get really nice view of the town from here. One of the best. I would say.
Patrycja Sedláček — Google review
It’s not quite clear where exactly the entrance is, but once you walk around the perimeter, you’ll see the signs for walking up or taking the funicular. The views are wonderful, and it’s nice that paying to go up the tower is optional, so you can enjoy the top without having to pay for access. This is a must if you want to get a great view of both sides of the city of Vilnius.
Felipe Latorre — Google review
Really incredible views of the city. Lovely on a clear day. The museum / tower is €6+ to enter. But worth it if you can manage to climb to the top of the tower. It is very steep. There is also a funicular that take you up and down the hill if you are unable to walk up and down. This is €1 each way.
Louise West — Google review
I had the privilege of getting to the top of this tower and seeing the entire old town in Vilnius, and this is a beautiful historic castle tower that was constructed in the 1400s. It felt like I was traveling back in time and the staff here were friendly and informative when asked them questions. Anyone traveling to Vilnius for the first time must come and check this place out. 5 Stars!!
Mark M. — Google review
If you go to Vilnius, this is obviously the one place you should visit. Access to the mount is free. The views across the city from the top are fantastic and the whole site is interesting. Within the tower there are a few exhibits, though they could fit a lot more in, considering they charge for entry. You can either walk up or take the funicular up.
The walk on the side coming from the river is quite steep, with stairs at the top of the path. There is a much easier walk from the main square. I would certainly recommend a visit, just for the views.
Andy Smith — Google review
One of the must visit places in Vilnius. I am not sure if this is the highest point in the city or not, but from here the panoramic view of the entire Vilnius city is some which no one should miss.
Two options to reach the top, via Vertical lift or by walk. We choose to climb up by walk, and the path is well demarcated and maintained. No tickets apart from the tower, it was closed when we visited.

Trakai Island Castle is a picturesque medieval fortress located on an island in a tranquil lake. It was constructed around 1400 to provide stronger defenses for Grand Duke Vytautas. The castle is characterized by coral-colored brick towers and serves as the home of the excellent Trakai History Museum, which displays various artifacts from past eras including chainmail, medieval weapons, embroidery and glassware. During summer months, the castle's courtyard becomes a magical stage for concerts and plays.
Very beautiful place. Exactly in hot weather I am very recommend to rent a water bysicle and go across the island around the castle. I will love it, I promise you. For renting any water attraction you need a cash! Souvenirs in front of the main bridge to castle supports card payment. All restaurants also support cards.

Trakai Castle, located in the middle of a lake, like in fairy tales, reachable via wooden bridges that connect it to the mainland. My luck was to see it in frozen mode .. Even more impressive. It is surrounded by a park where you can walk. The interior of the castle is also very interesting and I recommend a visit.

The exhibition inside the castle is not the informative. There is not much stuff of the castle preserved but the reconstruction still stay true to the old image. In wintertimes, it’s a very peaceful place. The souvenir shop is the cheapest among all the touristic place I’ve been to in Lithuania. Recommend shopping gifts here.

Nice, mostly reconstructed castle with an interesting audioguide (€1.10 at the Android play store) located on an island, accessible over a bridge from the shores of the lake. The entrance fee of €12 per adult (as of August 2023) is worth being paid. The views are very nice, both on the castle from the shore and also from the castle. The walk around the castle walls is free.

It was very difficult to travel there with a pram because of all the stairs and gravel but there is an accessible life so the venue is somewhat accessible but not fully.

The castle is really neat but it was the priciest castle I visited throughout all 3 Baltic countries. 12€ for adults and it was also a lot of random artifacts that did not pertain to the castle itself. Still cool though.
Laura Cifelli — Google review
Some of the areas and rooms are not accesible anymore (I visited it few years ago) and it's probably because of too many tourists like other tourist places but overall its still a beautiful restored castle and I recommend to visit it. Most exhibitions and the history of items or places are explained in Lithuanian and English, few more are also in Polish and Russian languages. There's also a lake around the castle and a lot of restaurants and souvenir shops

Beautiful castle, picturesquely located on a lake. Many different exhibitions about it's history. Lovely view of the interior. Really good souvenir shop that is not to be missed. Overall it's definitely worth visiting as a day trip from Vilnius.

A very well preserved castle that is worth visiting. It gives you a good feel of the past and teaches a bit of history. I like how they organised it so that you go from one room to another and get to see everything without wandering around back and forth. There are also some hidden surprises 😉

Cute little castle on an island in Trakai outside of Vilnius. We went on a Sunday and it was remarkably quiet and peaceful.
You cross a bridge over the lake to get to the castle island. You can then either pay for a ticket to see the castle or you can simply walk around the perimeter of the castle. We were short on time so we opted for the latter. We walked around the outside and didn’t see a single person in the middle of the day on a weekend.
We also got to enter the main castle gate and have a look at the courtyard without paying for a ticket.

Beautiful! Many historical antiques. It's probably too boring for children, but it's a fascinating look into the history and cultural development of Lithuania. Low admission price.

This is a lovely castle and certainly worth a visit if you are staying in Vilnius or surrounding area. It makes a great day out. There is ample parking in the town and the castle is an easy walk. All the usual tourist souvenir shops are on the way.
The castle is in excellent condition and has a large number of exhibits from around the area over the centuries. This are arranged in the rooms, mainly in the main keep. They cover different periods in the castle’s history.
You can walk all around the castle, both around the outside and within. You can even rent a boat and go right round the outside. Some of the views across the lake are really nice, though there is nothing that really stands out. The gift shop is really good and actually cheaper than many of the market stalls in the village. I would certainly recommend a visit.

Beautiful castle on an island to explore when visiting Vilnius. It's an easy 45 minutes away from the city center by car. The museum shares information about the history of the area with the castle as well as the restoration of what the castle looks like today. Probably the highlight of our trip to Vilnius.

Brest Fortress, also known as the Hero Fortress, is a 19th-century fortress located in Brest, Belarus. It gained its heroic title to honor its defense during the German-Soviet War of 1941-1945. The fortress features imposing ruins and a museum that provides background on the events of World War II. Visitors can explore artifacts and photographs from this period. The complex also includes a brutalist-style concrete memorial statue.
Was awestruck and simply amazed visiting this place. As I entered, they were playing "the Sacred War", one of the most famous World War II songs, and this was easily one of the most Soviet experiences I ever had in my many stays in former Soviet countries.

Good museum to give background to the events during WW2 that occurred at the fortress. Some displays are in English, but you can easily get the idea about the artifacts and photographs which have not been translated.
Do not miss the excellent museum shop downstairs. Very reasonable prices on some interesting souvenirs, from coins to old bullets.

Formerly known as Brest-Litoŭsk Fortress, is a 19th-century fortress in Brest in present-day Belarus. In 1965 the title "Hero Fortress" was given to the fortress to commemorate the defence of the frontier stronghold during the first week of the German-Soviet War of 1941-1945 when Axis forces invaded the Soviet Union with the launch of Operation Barbarossa on June 22, 1941. The title "Hero Fortress" corresponds to the title "Hero City" that the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union awarded to an eventual total of twelve Soviet cities.

Rynek Starego Miasta, also known as the Old Town Market Square, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Warsaw that has been meticulously restored after being nearly destroyed during World War II. Surrounded by pastel townhouses and historic museums like the History Museum and the Museum of Literature, this square is a vibrant hub for dining, shopping, and people-watching at its pavement cafes and boutique shops.
Łazienki Park is one of the most beautiful places in Warsaw and is a popular tourist destination with a range of attractions including palace, gardens, amphitheatre and various follies. The park is well-maintained and peaceful and is perfect for a relaxing day out.
Beautiful park in the center of Warsaw, I advise all tourists to visit. Admission to the park is free, there are also museums on site, which can be accessed for a fee. The territory of the park is very large and spacious, you can take beautiful photos and just relax in nature. Peacocks also live in the park and there are many squirrels. Incredible place! 😍😍😍

It was the most remarkable they that I spent in Warsaw. I love this place so much. You can observe some animals here. Also, you can walk around the park and experience being so close to nature. Giant trees, a great walking path, and clean air will take all that stress you have, trust me.

Lazienki Park in Warsaw is like a quiet, beautiful garden in the middle of the city. It's full of pretty plants, big old buildings, and calm ponds. You can walk around, see historical places like the Palace on the Water, and enjoy the Chopin Monument and you will have a lot of birds , chirping sounds make it even more beautiful. It's a great place to relax and learn about history if you visit Warsaw. Toilet signs are not well placed, you have run around to realize it's within the hunting museum.

Came here on our trip to Warsaw for a bit of time away from the city. Was a fair walk from the centre but worth it for this peaceful atmosphere. I can imagine it’s beautiful in the summer but we still enjoyed it on a grey winters day. The highlight was seeing the peacocks and red squirrels, but this park is a beautiful place to visit to relax for an hour or so.

I was there during the summer and it was beautiful, a lot to see around , relax , breath the air and walk around. You can find some hidden spots to sit surrounded by the trees and nature . Recommend for anyone visiting Warsaw to spend a day here in nature and explore the history. However dogs are not allowed in the park. Heads-up for dog owners . Warsaw is generally dog friendly. A family day out here would be lovely. It’s kids friendly. The map is helpful so lay your hands on one of you can .

The Royal Łazienki (the Royal Baths) was one of those places in Warsaw that enchanted me completely! I am a total fan of greenery, and here in the very center of the city there is a huge, vast area drowning in greenery with charming paths, monuments, squirrels and walking peacocks. Contact with nature, peace, quiet, the opportunity to watch jumping squirrels, all surrounded by 18th century architecture. Everything was amazing there.
This museum tells the story of Warsaw's 1944 uprising against Nazi occupation, during which some 15,000 Polish Home Army soldiers were killed and hundreds of thousands deported. The museum is extremely comprehensive, with displays on three levels covering the history of Warsaw, the uprising itself, and the aftermath.
I came here on a Monday and it was free admission. I really enjoyed the well curated exhibit that walked me through the history and impact of the uprising. I recommend getting the audio guide that allows you to hear the extra commentary about the various exhibits.
This museum is actually very impressive if you like world war II history or you want to have a better understanding of Polish people and their willingness to fight against evil during world war II. Highly recommend.

Interesting museum about the history of the Warsaw Rising. The museum explores the background and the future of the city and the rebellion. If one is not a huge history fan, the museum might get a bit boring after a few exhibits. We visited on Sunday, and the queue lasted around an hour.

This is a really awesome museum if you are interested in WWII, polish history, and military history. It is a pretty large place and took us a while to see everything. There are a lot of guns and artifacts from WWII, as well as a lot of personal items like letters and journals. Speaking polish would be nice, but there was plenty in English also, so I felt like I got a lot out of it still. Highly recommended!

A great memorial dedicated to the human spirit of fighting against all odds. Very moving, detailed and systematic display of everything related to the uprising. The two movies are well made. Really liked the story telling divided over 4 floors. Good place for adults and kids. It's a traffic style of brave people like us who fought for something they believed and lost but told in a very engrossing way. It's quite crowded. Even on a weekday afternoon in August.

This Museum is well organised, very interesting, well laid out, and has a lot to see. I was thoroughly impressed and enjoyed every moment inside. It is so well worth the entrance fee. It's a must when you are in Warsaw. We bought Metro tickets for the day for 3 pounds I think and moved all over town on the tram. Loved it. Warsaw Poland is definitely so European. I can't wait to come back again. There is too much to see for a long weekend. I also found Warsaw to be affordable when travelling on the Pound. I honestly never thought of Poland as a travel destination for myself, and now, I am excited to return some day. I loved my experience here. I felt safe, and there is order.
Come and visit Poland. You're welcome.

A nice museum with a lot of material to see. 30 minutes might be just enough if you are quick, but for some people even several hours might not bee too much. Depends how precisely you want to read through all the texts and such.

This museum was an in-depth dive into Poland and its uprising during the war!
I think it’s a crucial piece of history with details into specifics suffered in Poland and the incredible bravery mustered up by the people who refused to settle into the horrific position they were put in. It discusses the ghettos which was very interesting and something I personally didn’t know too much about
The museum layout was a little messy and the 3D fly through was a very interesting experience but was about a 40 minute wait for about a 7 minute film - wouldn’t recommend this
Otherwise the museum was a great one to visit and learn about Polands history! ✨

Great experience. Interesting museum, very informative and everything has an English translation. You need a few hours to fully enjoy all of the museum.
There's really big lockers for bags in the yard opposite the entrance. You need 5PLN coin to operate the lockers. I used a 50 euro cent coin which worked perfectly.
Free to visit on Mondays. I Highly recommend a visit

Must visit for anyone interested in Poland's WW2 history! It helps contextualize the country's difficult situation to a great extent. What I liked the most were the detailed descriptions from Hans Frank's diary of how the uprising was hurting the Nazis. If there's anything to improve it's making the visiting route clearer

I visited here on a Monday.
The signs are not clear on entry, as to where to get your tickets from🤦♂️🤷♂️
Being English, the ticket sign was written in Polish! In areas there was English written alongside Polish signs.
I had to get directions to find the ticket area. Oh its written as 'Kasa' a little building set on its own at the end of the courtyard👍
After all that, getting into the ticket office, I was surprised to find out it was free on a Monday! Result😀 so as I left the ticket office, I donated money into this huge glass collection box, outside.
There was no queue today, about 1.30pm.
There was no English tour guide available, so had to wander around and check out all the displays and read up on them.
It is another amazing part of Polish history! Solely based about The Warsaw Uprising.
There are so many areas based in here, all with written information or recorded vocal and filmed footage.
The struggles of the Polish people is truly upsetting, then the admiration and bravery of their Polish ancestors, fighting, sometimes an impossible fight.
The stories of support from other nations is commendable!
There is information here of the atrocities they went through, but the strength Polish men, women and children, even their Goats, supporting them with well need milk supplies😱
The stories of how they coped in the underground, then to try to fight against the strength of the Germans.
Living and moving through the drainage system, only to surface for well needed supplies!
The cinema room shows photography from an aircraft circling Warsaw after all the bombing! Truly upsetting😢 but admiration to all of the Polish people that tried to fight back!
Was nice to see the footage of Germans being captured and taken prisoner's after the war, some karma coming back to them, although the Polish were not barbaric like the Germans were.
You have to take several hours to take all the information in here at the Warsaw uprising museum.
I highly recommend coming here, just to learn what people have had to suffer and not to let it happen again.
Knowledge is power👍
I will have to go to the Tomb of the unknown Soldier again now, to pay my silent respects to all❤️

The exhibition is interesting and well executed, a lot of historical pieces and stories about the polish people during WWII.
I do think that the part of jews in the resistance against the Nazis during WWII should be told, as it was one of the greatest rebellions against the germans during the war.
More over, it is hard to look at the polish people as complete victims knowing that a lot of polish people cooperated with the germans in the mass murder of jews during the war.

I had an absolutely fantastic time at the Warsaw Uprising Museum. The attention to detail in the interior design is remarkable, truly capturing the essence of the era. I was pleasantly surprised by the wealth of information provided. I could spent an entire day engrossed in the exhibits, absorbing the stories and events that shaped the city's history.
Even though my visit was relatively short, I left with a profound sense of connection to the past. I'd strongly recommend allocating a good 2-3 hours to fully appreciate the experience. It's not just a museum visit – it's an journey that allows you to immerse yourself in the struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs of the people during that pivotal time.
The Warsaw Uprising Museum is an absolute must-visit, and I'm already planning to return. Whether you're a history buff or just curious about the past, this museum offers an exceptional opportunity to explore and learn. Don't miss out on this enriching and moving experience.

Unfortunately a great museum. Lot of interactive parts, with a well explained visit path, and the possibility to rent an audio guide for a more complete experience. Plan at least a few hours to completely experience the whole experience, as they also screen some movies and have a temporary exhibition on top of the standard museum that in itself is worth visiting when in town.

The Wieliczka Salt Mine is a subterranean labyrinth of tunnels and chambers in southeastern Poland that has been welcoming tourists since the 17th century. The mine is famous for its crystalline sculptures, saline lakes, and two-hour guided tours.
Comprehensive tour of one of the first UNESCO world heritage sites.
The tour is quite physical and involves a lot of walking - one to keep in mind for those with mobility issues or small children.
The guide opens with the history and how the salt was mined over time. The rooms and compartments are larger and more elaborate as you deepen into the mine.
The construction is simply breathtaking.
Daniel Chorley — Google review
Visited over years ago. Amazing tour. The caves were well ventilated and cool. The salt sculptures were beautiful. The attention to detail was very evident. Take at least half a day to enjoy the mine. An elevator will take one back up but the walk down the stairs is worth taking.

A very enjoyable experience. This salt mine is incredibly vast, it's hard to believe that you only visit 1% of the tunnels, which stretch for over 300 km in total. The mine has a rich history, spanning more than 700 years. Definitely worth a visit.
Pawel Brozyna — Google review
The English tour was great, and the construction inside the mine is impressive to say the least. Be mindful that there are many stairs and some narrow passageways. A lift is available, for coming up as well, but stairs are the default when going into the mine. Can easily be reached by car or public transport.
There is a lot to see in this mine, so I would recommend dedicating at least half a day for this activity. The tour can be run in many different languages, too.
Overall, a great place for a day out near Kraków.

Overall great experience here. I took the English tour and it was very enjoyable. It is a very high traffic attraction so keep that in mind. It took about two hours to do our tour of the mine.

This was a very impressive experience. I saw a short video of this salt mine 7y ago on IG and wanted to go and visit. It looks so much more impressive in real life than in a pictures. This involves a lot of walking. Very busy all the time. The tour guide said during the busy season more than 80k people visit a day. When we went it was really busy and instead of having 2h tour it end up being 3.5 due to the tour group backlog. It was still an incredible experience though. Its over 250km of tunnels over there. A lot of sculptures craved out of salt look beautiful. There is a restaurant at the end of the tour, food was very nice. 100 % recommended visiting.

WOW! So much to say. It was a beautiful experience; our tour lead was absolutely perfect. She spoke with confidence and made sure that she phrased in a way everyone would understand. She even added some comedy to help keep attention; absolutely loved it. She also answered all questions we had and kept us up to date on how deep underground we were and where in the mine we were. She was very kind and definitely made the experience WORTH IT! But even then the views and things you see are absolutely mind blowing. The churches and waters within are beautiful.. and very salty!

Quite demanding on your legs, but absolutely worth it. Our tour guide was excellent and provided so much information in a fun and accessible manner! It's actually incredible to consider just how large the mines are given how much you see, but that amount only constituting a small % of the whole mine. Definitely worth experiencing if you are in Krakow - it's easily accessible by train so no need to book a dedicated tour, just book your own ticket and ride on over! (If you're lucky, you can even get in on an earlier tour!)

Absolutely incredible, would highly recommend. I have no idea how people are so skilled to create such art out of the Salt Mines. We did the tour which lasted about 2 hours, and it was fantastic. I believe we went 164m deep, and only saw 1% of it! Amazing.

My visit to the Wieliczka Salt Mines in Krakow was an awe-inspiring journey that left me utterly captivated. From the moment I descended into this subterranean world, the sheer grandeur of the salt-carved chambers and intricate sculptures took my breath away.
The tour guides were not only knowledgeable but also passionate storytellers, weaving historical anecdotes and geological insights seamlessly into the narrative of the mines. Their expertise added a layer of depth to the experience, transforming each step into a fascinating exploration of Poland's rich mining heritage.
The salt formations, illuminated in a mesmerizing play of light, created a surreal atmosphere that added to the enchantment of the journey. The attention to preserving the authenticity of the mines while ensuring a safe and enjoyable visitor experience was commendable.
Navigating through the labyrinthine corridors and chambers, I marveled at the sheer craftsmanship behind the salt-carved sculptures and chapels, a testament to the centuries of labor that went into creating this underground masterpiece.
The logistical aspects, from ticketing to guided tours, were seamless, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the wonder of the Wieliczka Salt Mines. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a must-visit for anyone in Krakow, offering a unique and unforgettable glimpse into Poland's subterranean treasures.
In summary, the Wieliczka Salt Mines exceeded my expectations, delivering an enriching and visually stunning experience that remains etched in my memory. I wholeheartedly recommend this historical marvel to anyone seeking a truly extraordinary adventure in Krakow.

Salt Mine in Wieliczka is an extraordinary experience in the fascinating world of salt mining. The underground chambers, intricate sculptures, and breathtaking chapels carved entirely from salt are truly awe-inspiring.
The knowledgeable guides provide insightful commentary, adding depth to the tour.
A must-visit destination for anyone exploring the Krakow region.

We took a guided tour from Krakow which we booked well in advance. We were a small group and there was no waiting to get in. The tour took about 2 hours and there were about 500 steps to go down the 3 levels that are accessible to the public. Fortunately there is a small lift to take you back to the surface and it only takes 45 seconds.
The Chambers and carvings were amazing. A must do tour for Krakow!

Great experience! Would highly recommend the group tours rather than an individual one. Very informative and interactive too. Our tour guide Simon was amazing. He made it super interesting and fun:) suitable for all ages I think. Very impressed with our tour!

This is a truly breathtaking experience! The underground salt mine is absolutely extraordinary. Incredible craftsmanship - fascinating sculptures which were carved out of salt rock that shine like granite, and there were also logs that had transformed into salt over years. Such a unique atmosphere. Great tour - very educational and tour guide were knowledgeable. Such a historical gem. This place is definitely worth a visit!

Fascinating/stunning. Very well organised and executed. The guide was really knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. Plenty to see and take in. Tip; stay on and do the museum tour. You go through a labyrinth of tunnels in a smaller group taking in the history of the mines along the way. You also get a trip back to the surface in an express elevator.

Fantastic tour. Our tour guide Renata was so entertaining and funny. The whole tour was a couple of hours but I wish it were longer. There are so many beautiful rooms and structures that I could stay there for hours taking photos. Highly recommend.

Incredible (and salty) experience! 130 meters deep below the surface in a 700 years old Polish salt mine isn’t something you get to do every day. The whole ordeal was made a lot better with a very talented and comprehensive guide taking us through it all. You get history, religion, architecture and lots more in one big, interesting package. The most fascinating part was probably the open chapel and balcony that is in fact being used for actual weddings, ceremonies and more. Without hesitation I’m sure most can conclude it is well worth a visit, even still for the price it costs.
Anders Folke Westlund — Google review
This is a must go! The experience is really good, I do recommend a guide, although it will cost you a little more you can actually learn and understand purposes of different chambers and history behind it. The guides can be bought in town centre and a Sprinter picks you up from hotel. This is a full day activity, there is a restaurant and a shop down underground which takes cash. The most fun experience in my opinion are the huge chambers such as chapel as well as the lift. The lift is tiny 8 people and sometimes miners get on it!!! It is scary but exciting at same time!
Jakub — Google review
A great experience to go down the mine, the English tour guide was brilliant. The sights in the mine and the carvings are amazing. My one warning would be the getting down and up. It's 54 sets of stairs down (a lift is optional) coming back up there is a small modern mine shift you get in with 8 people it is a very tight squeeze. If you are claustrophobic it may cause issues.
Tom wells — Google review
This place is really an experience that should be made in life! The mine is huge (more than you can imagine from outside) but some spots are really terrific and wondering at the same time! It's unbelievable thinking that people created most of them only with hand tools. You have to walk a lot and there are a lot of steps, so you should be ready but it really deserve the effort!

Wow...what an amazing experience. Easy to get there with public transport from Krakow, the buses go there like 3/4 times per hour.
Really in love with the mine, deepest point we went was 130 meters below street level. Amazing art, really good guide speaking clearly and in proper English as well.

Amazing place. Few steps along, so make sure you are in comfy shoes. Guide was very funny and his English was spot on. We got to know a lot of stuff and he made it very interesting. Restaurant and couple shops along the way but make sure you use toilets before going.
Paid car park only.

The Wieliczka Salt Mine is a must see tourist attraction. It was very interesting and amazing to get immersed in the labyrinth of tunnels, caves and caverns. Our tour guide was highly knowledgeable and spoke English fluently. The scale of the mine is mind blowing. Our tour lasted approximately three hours and our tour guide said we had only seen 1% of the mine. Learning about the history of the mine and the important part it played on Polands prosperity was very enjoyable. There are underground gift shops and a restaurant if you get peckish. The lift to the surface felt very sketchy, but was highly enjoyable.

Visiting the Wieliczka salt mine was an amazing and very interesting experience. We really recommend visiting, although you have to be able to walk quite a lot. There is a lot to see and every chamber seems to offer a new surprise. Sometimes it was hard to believe one’s eyes when seeing all the sculptures carved from salt. Our guide on the tour was very nice, fun and able to tell all kinds of stories about the different chambers. At the end of the tourist route there is also a shop and a restaurant. We really enjoyed our visit. No wonder this is an UNESCO world heritage site!

My visit to the Wieliczka Salt Mine was absolutely phenomenal. From start to finish, every moment was filled with wonder and amazement.
The guided tour provided deep insights into the history of salt mining while showcasing the stunning architecture and natural formations hidden beneath the surface.Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, making the experience even more enjoyable.
I cannot recommend this attraction enough - it's a must-visit for anyone traveling to Krakow!

Incredible venue. I didn’t expect such a place. The guides are very professional and funny. You can have a lunch or dinner down there as well. The history is very interesting to ear. I definitely recommend if you are in Krakow, a must seen. I will come back.
Spoiler alert : If you are scared about elevators, be careful, you can be very scared with the one they operate.
The museum tells the story of how Oskar Schindler, a German businessman, managed to save the lives of many Jews during the Nazi occupation of Krakow. It features exhibits about life in Krakow during World War II and the city's underground resistance movement. There are also rooms dedicated to Schindler and the Jews he saved.
If you want to visit somewhere with your friends in Krakow or if you are interested in history you should visit this place. Very cheap price and discount for students. If you want to buy things like souvenirs you can buy them.
Omar Alimov — Google review
One of the best museums I've ever visited and certainly the most tactile museum of this kind. Each room is themed differently with walls, floors etc. fitting the theme. An insightful portrayal of the impact on Poland throughout the war and an emotionally charged visit. Would really recommend the guided tour as I don't feel like we would have got as much out of our visit without this.

The movie is my first impression of the Jew history, so I visited this museum when I have this chance. The museum showed and recorded that history, its well designed route. I didn’t get much time to well go through the whole museum, but still glad to be here and walk into this unforgettable history.
Olivia Chen — Google review
I recommend buying tickets online in advance so you don’t have to wait and get a guaranteed entrance.
Super informative museum about the life of what it is like living in Krakow during world war 2 and how Jewish people were treated. Highly recommend going it takes about 1 and half hours to 2 hours to walk all the way through and read all the information.
Luke — Google review
Quite pricey for what you get, very little about Schindler himself and the story of the Jews he saved due to the factory and more focused on the impact of the war on Krakow. The story is quite limited and focused on emotional impact rather than information. Very few exhibits but I guess being able to stay near Schindler's desk should be reward enough.
You need to book even a week in advance, there are companies that offer guided tours who hog all the tickets. Be sure to enter the place at the time you are scheduled and not earlier because otherwise you will run into groups on a tour and it will be tough to move about.
I do have to admit the organization is quite good, once I realized I entered earlier than scheduled, I waited for 15 minutes for the two groups in front of me to clear and I did have a relaxed experience
Claudiu — Google review
One of the most informative and detailed museums I’ve visited. To be honest we hadn’t looked at reviews first so we didn’t know what to expect, but the museum took us on a journey from prewar Krakow through the evil horrors of the holocaust and beyond. This museum is far more about the experience of the Jewish residents of the city than it is about Oskar Schindler. His heroic actions are presented in the context of the changing lives (and sad deaths) of Polish Jews. The overall museum experience is both heart wrenching and inspiring. This, slightly out-of-way museum is a strongly recommended visit. We waited for about 30 min to get in and found that tickets were available despite the website saying otherwise.
Bob Cook — Google review
A must when visiting Krakow. The museum is amazing and very informative. You will need at least 2 hours or more to take in everything the museum has to offer. I would recommend getting there early and buy a guide book.
Icicle Ike — Google review
A must-visit for everyone interested who wants to learn more about history. It can be a bit crowded and there are two ways of visiting it: on your own and with official guides. The tour with a guide takes around 2 hours and it's worth it, even though I would have liked a few more minutes in some rooms to look at all the objects and posters that were there.

Very educational and lots has gone into making this an educational and respectful experience. Are tour guide was extremely passionate about the information she was giving and was clearly very invested in her work. I would advise doing the tour but perhaps also spending time alone to read the information and really absorb the place and it's significance.
AARON — Google review
No doubt one of the best museum I have been. Oskar Schindler isn’t the entire theme about the museum but instead, they put you through a journey about Polish and Jews during WW2 and how Krakow was at that point of time. The journey that this museum aims to take you through is indeed very well planned. Instead of just exhibits after exhibits, the museum is interactive and intriguing. Especially the part where they made you walk on uneven ground to reach towards the area of bright light. It’s just too thought provoking. I highly recommend this tour for anybody especially those who takes keen interest in modern history.
Patrick Lim — Google review
This museum is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. We booked a tour as this was recommended by a friend. As they did not and wished they did. The guide was very good and pointed out things that we may have missed. I would like to return to do the tour without a guide as so much information to read and take in if you love history.

I'm disappointed to not really see any of the factories. It's just a museum within the old factory. The only machines are in the reception.
The photos were amazing, and the office of Schindler himself was amazing to see. Especially the map behind his desk.
Harry — Google review
Important historical exhibition. VERY very busy (even in shoulder season / start of November), best with guide. Gets booked up quickly but resellers (eg Get your Guide) can sell you tickets at a reasonable price (£5 extra per person, but this includes an excellent guide) we booked the day before - had we not booked with them we would not have been able to go. Book at least a week in advance otherwise you won't be able to book directly. We had a knowledgeable and easy to understand English speaking guide - a Polish Australian - easy-going and fun. Also headphones issued so we could hear the guide clearly without him shouting. To be honest we have had 4 English speaking tours over the last 4 days in Krakow and it has been hard to understand some or a lot of what was said (big groups, noisy rooms, Polish accents etc) - this was the best.

The visit proved to be both inspiring and a reflective moment on the events of World War II. With free admission on Mondays, albeit accompanied by a brief 15-minute queue, the experience provided a unique opportunity to delve into the historical significance of the site.

This NOT about Oscar Schindler's story. For this you can watch the movie. This is about the German occupation of Krakow and in it you will glimpse Oscar Schindler's if you look hard enough.
But overall a very interesting museum. The place was packed with tours on Sunday afternoon.
Eric J — Google review
Those hoping to find out much about Oscar Schindler and his story are likely to be rather disappointed by this museum, as although this is the site of his factory, he is only really covered in the introductory film and the couple of rooms that were his and his secretary’s office. Otherwise, this is mainly the story of Kraków during World War II, with a particular focus on the Jewish community and Płaszow concentration camp. It does an excellent job of telling this story and unless you really are obsessed with Schindler, it is definitely worth visiting and allowing 2-3 hours to do so. Everything is in Polish and English, and the story is brought to life with numerous photos. At times, aesthetics have been prioritised rather expense of legibility; some of the boards are on backgrounds that make them almost impossible to read. It can also be hard to be an individual visitor with guided tours clogging up many areas, as the museum is really not spacious enough to accommodate tours. These are minor quibbles for improvement and I would certainly recommend a visit. It can get popular and ticket slots sell out, so reserve ahead online if possible (you can collect and pay at the ticket office).
Phil Bradford — Google review
We visited the museum on a free entrance day, so we had to wait in line, because we came a bit later. It went quickly, but it's good to arrive as soon as possible. On other days, be sure to buy tickets in advance.
I definitely recommend it to those who like history, but also to everyone else as a reminder of the cruelty and senselessness of war.

Very informative and interesting giving us lots of knowledge about the war not just the factory or Schindler. Great guide at a good pace allowing time for photos. Provided headphones so that everyone could hear the your guide easily.
Great place to find out about Poland during the war with amazing exhibits.
Easy to rebook but needs more information when waiting to enter. Booked through the museums website but we're told to wait for a private tour that we meet outside at the front. Lots of people also waiting and being told by security to wait outside for their private tour. Once met everything was well organised and smooth.

I was surprised by how interactive the museum is - there are many places you can be immersed in the story. also the plethora of artefacts is probably unmatched nowadays. it is absolutely worth a visit but mind where you’re getting your tickets from - I got them from a third party website and had to wait past my booked time for the man to bring the tickets to me, as they’re not handled by the museum itself.

Fabulous venue. Wonderful insight and information about the man himself, the fantastic work he did here, and also a lot on information about the German invasion, the Ghettos, and the general terrible treatment of the Jews and Poles by the Germans after the invasion. Must see venue.
The Rynek Główny is the main market square in Krakow and it is surrounded by some of the city's most important historic sites. The plaza originally dates back to the 13th century, and it is still considered one of Europe's largest medieval markets. Aside from monuments to Adam Mickiewicz, there is a sculpture called Eros Bendato which depicts the severed head of this Greek God.
What a lovely central area. The markets and the food stalls were great. We had a meal outdoors and later on cake and coffee at another cafe. Found a brilliant jazz club on the square where we had a brilliant evening. Got a late bite at one of the stalls in the early hours of the morning which was huge and delicious so was shared by all. All places were great. The architecture is amazing the whole place is very pleasing. The climb up the narrow steps in the clock tower was hard work but the view at the top was stunning. As it was Easter not everything was open but there was still plenty to see and do. Would love to visit again in the summer.

A beautiful and historic square, one of the best I have been to Europe. It is also one of the largest. Especially cool during the Christmas period when there is a market and a large Christmas tree. Has its fair share of people who have had too much drink, homeless people, etc…as in all cities in Europe, but it is a must see if you are visiting Krakow.

Lovely old town of Krakow, the biggest in Europe as well. Definitely worth visiting if you are going to Poland and Krakow. The old church there rings the bells every hour, make sure you listen out for the trumpet player who plays after and see if you can spot them! The cloth hall shops are in the heart of the square as well and a must to visit. Plenty of eating places all around also and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

A beautiful building , a row of arches run right down each side. There are lots of neat little shops that run all the way down the building. Selling a wide range of holiday gifts, toys, glassware, t shirts, knitwear, and lots of other good items. It stands in the centre of market Square. Which is a fabulous sq of buildings with shops, bars, hotels, restaurants and the Bell tower and ClockTower.
We stayed 4 nights and found the restaurants selling fantastic food and drinks at a great price.
Also there's an underground museum that is fantastic and well worth a visit.

The Wawel Royal Castle Museum is a beautiful and historic site that contains examples of Gothic, Renaissance, Romanesque, and Baroque architecture. It is located on the banks of the Vistula River in Poland and was once the royal residence of kings and queens. The museum is well-maintained and contains many interesting artifacts from Poland's history.
Firstly, please note, this is not located in the correct place, it is actually located within the Castle Courtyard within the building to the left of the State Rooms, I know, I went there several days ago. It is the Crown Treasury and Armoury, see photo of Castle Plan.
Both are worth visiting. The Crown Treasury display is particularly good as it spotlights on the treasures exhibited with darkened room so you don't get back reflection from the glass cabinets.

Beautiful architecture from when Poland was under control by several different cultures can be observed in the domes. Besides the long uphill entrance, the rest of the castle grounds were beautiful. You can also see the "legendary" dragon sculpture breathe fire from above. ;)

6. Romantic place for couples for hand-in-hand walks.

An overly complicated experience. Every part of this place is a separate ticket. We bought tickets for every area in there. Our first place was the cathedral only to be told we needed to buy another ticket for that. Which we didn't get. Then we noticed that on our tickets they had timeslots. Spread over 4 hours ( you can see everything in under an hour), we didn't plan staying that long so we wasted money on tickets for things later in day. This wasn't explained to us when buying tickets. Was a beautiful castle but the ticket system made no sense. It should be buy a ticket and go look at everything you want to see. They would even make more money that way as people aren't always going to see everything there. Gardens are worth a visit if you do go but I for one would never visit it again.

It's worth the visit but nothing special. We went into the cathedral inside which was very nice and the state rooms. You need separate tickets for each building. The state rooms are nothing special, we didn't take the audio guide as it wasn't clear that there was this option and we do regret it. Everything was warm and clean and very well presented and preserved.

It was snowing on this visit, but the architecture and features were still impressive.
You do not need a ticket to tour the grounds, only if you wish to tour the castle rooms, which is done with a guide.
These are extensive and together with the historical explanation of Polish history, make a lengthy and very interesting tour.

As a history enthusiast, visiting the Wawel Royal Castle was a dream come true. This remarkable architectural gem in Krakow, Poland, truly captures the essence of the nation's rich and illustrious past.
Upon arriving at the castle grounds, I was immediately struck by its imposing presence and the sense of history that pervades the air. The intricate details and grandeur of the castle's exterior instantly transported me back in time to an era of kings and queens.
The castle complex boasts stunning gardens and courtyards, offering picturesque views of the Vistula River and the city of Krakow. Strolling through these serene spaces, I felt a sense of tranquility and appreciation for the beauty that surrounds the castle.
The staff at Wawel Royal Castle deserves special mention for their warmth and knowledge. They were always ready to share fascinating stories and historical facts, making the visit even more enriching.
Whether you're a history buff, an art lover, or simply someone who appreciates beautiful architecture, Wawel Royal Castle is an absolute must-visit. It offers an immersive journey through Poland's past and leaves you with a deep appreciation for the country's cultural heritage. My visit here was an unforgettable experience, and I cannot wait to return someday to continue my exploration of this exceptional historical landmark.

Completely stunning. It is free to enter and walk around the courtyard, then many ticket offices for entry to the various exhibitions and the cathedral around the site. Beautifully restored and colourful with lovely flower displays. We just walked around the courtyard due to a train to catch, but allow a few hours to do it properly. Excellent food options on terraces overlooking the main sites.

It’s very unusual that I ever feel the need for a bad review on any historical place that I’ve ever visited but here we go. It was just a very frustrating ticketing process with separate payments for literally ten different parts of the castle. We paid for the two main areas plus the tower and spent too much time trying to find them and to be honest weren’t as impressive as some of the free places I’d already visited in Krakow. It just felt wrong and the whole system needs to be scrapped and simplified. One more pet hate of mine is paying for the restroom after you are already a paid to enter guest.

You definitely need some time to spend there because the castle is big and the complex included also the cathedral and the dragons den. The entrance to the grounds is free but in order to get inside you need tickets. I did not visit the interior of the castle as there was a very long queue and did not have much time. If you wish to visit inside you would be advised to book your tickets in advance.

The Castle is very eclectic. Recently I visited early in the morning and was able to enjoy the outside of the castle without a bunch people around. It was very peaceful.
Last year I took the Crown Treasury tour and my group was not a fan. There were rooms we enjoyed and history that was discussed but we obviously chose the wrong tour. It was long and history on objects did not interest us. (At the time, it was the only tour option left)

The castle is divided into several different museums and you can just do one or two, but if you want to do more than three it makes sense to buy the all-inclusive ‘Wawel for Enthusiasts’ ticket. It will need four or five hours to do it justice, but it does mean you get to see some of the quieter exhibitions that you might otherwise miss, such as Lost Wawel. The highlights are naturally the state and private apartments, but every museum has something of interest for those who really want to engage with this site in detail. Should additional energy be required, the café-restaurant by the ticket office is very good. Note that the cathedral is a separate ticket paid for by the cathedral entrance.

So far, I like this castle the most than any castle I've ever been before.
Well preserved and lots of knowledge pouring out of every corner!
The atmosphere was so calm yet majestic.
They have several free tickets on Monday.

Absolutely breathtaking museum. The castle is humongous but the artifacts that they have are absolutely amazing. If you’re going to go I suggest that you take a good chunk out of your day so you can see everything. Everything was beautiful!
Kenneth Robinson — Google review
It is a good way to spend your time. A huge benefit of it is that most of it is actually free. We aren’t the kind of people to be interested in these type of things therefore we’re being quite neutral when it comes to it. It’s a way to spend some time without spending your money unlike other attractions nearby!

If you are ever in Krakow, you must visit the castle. It's a fairly large complex of buildings on top of a hill, the walk up isn't hard as there is a road leading up.
The view from above is great, and guided tours are available for the castle itself. I cannot comment on the tours since I myself didn't do one, but tickets are required.
It's located near other landmarks in the town and it's easy to walk to and from the castle and the old centre.
Verdict: definitely worth the visit
The Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp is one of the most notorious sites of the Holocaust. It contains displays of gas chambers, and remains almost completely intact. It is essential to visit both Auschwitz I and Birkenau in order to truly understand the horror of the place.
A must see in Poland. There is so much history here. It's a much more real experience to see the remnants first hand than to learn about it in school.
Garrett Descoteaux-Friday — Google review
It's worth going here to get some understanding of the scale and suffering that Jews and others had handed out by the Nazis during their time in power.
Walking around the camp just shows what man can do to fellow man. The suffering and death on an industrial scale.
The museum does well to preserve the past so we don't forget.
There is a lot of walking involved so plan ahead especially if you take a guided tour as they move quickly but do give you lots of information about the camp and the people who went through the gates, many for the last time.

I am giving five stars mainly due to the fact that many people and organisations have taken concrete steps to ensure people don't forget what happened here during WWII. This place is a reminder of the darkest side of human nature, to torture and kill another human for the heck of it..
I would recommend this visit to everyone, and to soak in the history that took place not so long ago.

It feels wrong to mark your experience as "loved it" for such a somber trip. It is however a trip everyone should make at least once in their life. Soon people who survived this horror will not be among us. It's important we remember and never let something like that happen again.

Probably one of the most badly organised tourist destinations in the world !
Always wanted to visit but was very disappointed, the complete cluster fxxk of the main entry, the inability to secure private tickets in advance via a official site, this resulted in almost 45 min to wait in a outdoor line until we could get to the ticket office and then another 2 hour wait until our time slot to actually get through the gate.
I'd gladly pay €5-10 for advance tickets if I could get a guaranteed time to get in when I arrive.
Once in there was no real flow or direction of what to see or what order to see it in. The official map was about as much use as sand in a desert, honestly a 5 year old could have drawn a better plan.
Inside large tour groups dominated all the various things to see and we were often barged out of the way or unable to pass them while they blocked doors or things to see.
My impression of the place has been ruined by visiting it and then when coming out, they don't even have clear signage where to get public transport back or a covered bus stop.
The urban planner / architect who designed the new entrance and coach part obviously never tried visiting as a tourist.

Easy to reach from Krakow, it deserves at least three hours of visit including the near Birkenau camp. Exhibitions are very well organized and documented. I'd have preferred to be alone in the visit, but I appreciated very much the guided tour lead by Lukasz Celta.

Very informative, expect to take a whole day if you are walking both sides. Camp 1 (museum) has everything you need to know written, but for camp2 it’s best with guided tour or research before hand.

Incredibly somber and emotional experience. Seeing the scale of what happened here is overwhelming.
We visited on a nice sunny day, but I couldn’t help but feel what the conditions must have felt like for those held within the camp during the harsh polish winters.
A must see for anyone to remind us of what happened and try to ensure it can never happen again.

A huge museum, which is being restored to this day and is still being preserved. Book the tour in advance because you can get alone and for free only after 15:00. We got a very nice girl guide, it was very interesting and pleasant to listen to.
We visited both camps, the total tour took about 4 hours. This place is very atmospheric, creepy. It is obligatory for everyone to visit, you need to know and not forget the history so that there are no more such things.

Powerful to say the least!
This was part of my bucket list of places to visit and WOW it did not disappoint. Moving does not do this place justice, understanding what the Jews, gypsies and other minorities went through during the Second World War, you can watch as many documentaries as you like but actually walking in their footsteps really does bring it home…..Unforgettable
Spilberk Castle is a medieval fortress located in the center of Brno, Czech Republic. It has been used as a royal castle, a baroque fortress, and as a prison during different times in Czech history. Today, the castle is part of the City Museum which hosts exhibitions on architecture, history, and art.
Beautiful castle - a highlight for any trip to Brno. Give yourself plenty of time for the visit as it’s large and there is a lot to see.
Lots for all the family to see and do.
Good food and drink options.
It’s surrounded by a beautiful park and has tons of viewing platforms to see all of Brno
Shane Dunne — Google review
Although the castle itself is not worth visiting, but the castle ground and surrounding is just breathtakingly beautiful. It is a perfect morning walk around the park, plenty of places to sit, there are view points almost every few steps, so get your camera ready. The ground and park is so well maintained and clean, while I was there I really relaxed and forgot about all the noise from the city. Perfect for a relaxing stroll.

Summary and caveats: not great for kids. Great for adults *if* you like 20th century art and/or photography, or early-to-late modern artifacts like old weapons, furniture, clothing, etc. Also, skip the first floor of the museum entirely, it was really not worth the time.
We spent several hours wandering through the museum and prison. The museum was delightful, aside from the first floor which is basically a tedious collection of historical illustrations with poorly translated explanations in English. Every other floor made up for it, especially the modern art exhibit. The prison was arguably something you could skip, though I personally enjoyed walking through the long dark spaces and reading about what transpired there. If you are short on time, it's very reasonable to cut the prison from your tour.

Great sightseeing spot to go to. It is right next to multiple sightseeing spots. On the top there is a bar with great bartender and the drinks are really nice. Right under the Castle is an nuclear fallout shelter also worth seeing. We did not get s tour but the public areas around the castle are really beautiful.

City’s big attractions aren’t appealing to me, but I’m so glad I walked up the hill to the Spilberk Castle. Don’t pay to go inside. Simply walk the trails finding views of Brno, waterfalls, and sculptures. Then walk into the castle’s courtyard and around to see the moat and more views of the city.
Austin Graff — Google review
The view from the castle is amazing, and free.
There's also several very cheap guided tour options that allow you to enter the cast buildings. I did the "History of the Castle" tour, which I found very interesting. The tour was in Czech, but we were provided an English guidebook and our guide was also very happy to answer questions in English afterwards.
Included in our ticket was entry to an art gallery that is part of the Castle, which also gave a cool overview of some of the history of Czech art, especially in Brno.

Nice place for a family walk with a beautiful view of the whole city😊. From time to time there are some events organized there like the Witch burning event on the 30th of April that we were able to attend. There was a great opportunity to grill, try local Czech wine&beer and see the huge bonfire.

Great variety of exhibitions for the fare price of muzeum ticket. I was surprised and very enjoyed the muzeum on a rainy day. This castle is much better than Karlstein! I learned a lot of information and history, enjoyed the pictures and art, saw the prison and more. I highly recommend to spend here 1.5-2 h. It is worth visiting.

If you like castles, I definitely recommend visiting Špilberk! It is a huge castle with a lot of exhibitions, ranging from the makings of the castle over its history as a prison up to modern-day Brno. There is art and sculptures, you can see old parts of the walls and castle, there are interactive exhibitions for kids, rooms showing how the prisoners lived and torture methods, and much more.
It includes the MMB Museum, the Tower and the Royal Chapel, the Treasures of Armoury, the underground water tanks and the casemates.
You have to buy all the tickets individually.
I bought one for the Museum, the Armoury and the Tower and Chapel and paid around 15€.
Sadly, the water tanks were closed at the time I visited the castle.
How much time should you plan:
A whole day if you want to see everything the castle has to offer
3+ hours for the exhibitions in the Museum
20 min for the Treasures of Armoury
30-40 min for the Tower and Chapel
What I would have liked to be done differently:
All the rooms with exhibitions in the museum have detailed info panels in Czech. The translations for tourists are found in booklets hanging on walls or given out by the staff. The booklets only cover an overview of the parts that are exhibited. They are not detailed and for some things, there is no translation at all. You have to translate it yourself if you want to know more. Some of the signs for orientation were only in Czech, too.
The booklets are in English and German, only in some rooms they were in French (if I am not mistaken) and only in the Treasures of Armoury I found an italian translation.
The quality of translation could be better, the English was good, some of the German (in the Armoury) was pretty bad and the sentences didn't make sense, otherwise it was okay.
It would also be very helpful if the castle could offer an estimation of time for the average stay.
There is a Bistro outside of the castle. The park around it is beautiful, especially in autumn and ideal for walks. The view is stunning, you can see the whole city of Brno and the mountains around it. It is definitely worth a visit, but plan your time accordingly.

Amazing Castle, most beautiful view
The art displayed around the castle grounds does not go well with the style of the castle (plus it looks disturbing)
Service in the bar/restaurant is typical for Europe, long waiting time and if you don't call them to your table, you won't get served

Very beautiful place to stroll around and admire the entire city of Brno.
The captivating Old Town in Bratislava houses the stunning Bratislava Castle, which offers panoramic city views. Adorned with vibrant glazed tiles, the Blue Church is another must-see attraction. Medická záhrada park features numerous sculptures, while designer boutiques are located along Nedbalova street. Main Square is packed with clubs and cocktail bars, and dining options range from traditional Slovak pubs to vegetarian cafes and international cuisine establishments.
The beautiful white box on a hill high above the Danube is Bratislava Castle, which is often overlooked because it's not a popular tourist destination. However, despite its lack of visitor traffic, the castle has some great sights to offer including fantastic views over the Old Town, the Danube and housing estate Petrzalka on the banks of the river. The castle also contains a history museum with many chambers that are underused but still worth visiting.
Really nice little town famous for its colourful church. The short but steep walk to the castle affords great views. One route is by many steps, the other by a steep slope, it can be a bit slippy underfoot
graham horton — Google review
A landmark of Bratislava this castle is situated on a hill overlooking not only the city but Austria and Hungary as well. It has been reconstructed many times throughout history and it has well preserved gardens and yard. We did not go inside, maybe another time. It offers unique views of the city's bridges, the river Danube, the cathedrals and the old and new buildings. Apart from the tourists and tourist groups, we saw local people there doing sports, taking their dogs out or just going for a walk. It's a lovely place to visit anytime of the day and at night it can be seen beautifully lighted from many parts of the city.

It was a one in a life time experience for me and my family. The history was incredible, and the views were fantastic.

Beautiful Castle! We didn't spend much time here, probably 30 minutes. We were on a tour of the City, and we were only able to walk around a little bit before getting on a bus to visit the rest of the City. There are great views of the City and the Danube River from here. The gardens on the north side of castle are beautiful as well.

It is a very well maintained castle with beautiful gardens. But I feel like the 5 were missing. There is one panel at the entrance with details regarding the castle, but after this point, I couldn't find any other explanation. If you are bad with memory, like I am, you wouldn't know what you are seeing. Overall, the experience is nice and worth it. The views from the castle are amazing!

A nice Slovak monument, though, a place that could use a bit of detailed attention. It seems new but somehow falls behind similar places, missing soul somehow.
I like it the best at night when the surroundings are not full of people (you can, however, meet younger people drinking there at that time. Still worth seeing and walking in and around. Makes up for nice pictures.

The must-visit place in Bratislava, which written history begins in 907, can be seen from many places in the city. The castle offers panoramic views and a rich historical experience. Take a leisurely stroll through its grounds, explore the museum, and be sure to capture breathtaking photos of the cityscape from the castle's vantage point.

A nice place to visit while in Bratislava. Honestly, for me it's just a castle 😅. But have to admit that you see a nice view of the city as u go up. It overlooks the UGO tower and city bridge. Plus u can see windmills in Vienna and there is also a beautiful meadow to relax.

We enjoyed the views from the outside and walking around the exterior of the Castle but the inside is very odd. It's not expensive but, there isn't much to see, it's all spread out inside so there's lots of walking and stairs and the architecture isn't very interesting. For some it might appeal but, we weren't very impressed.

Very cute place. You can enjoy the views and gardens for free.
If you want to get inside you have to pay for a ticket, the museum was not very big and with different things not related to the castle such as more contemporary history and modern art. If you are not a big fan you could skip it and enjoy instead the views and take pictures from outside the castle

Nice castle and a fun walk through little streets to get there. The castle had been destroyed and rebuild so it looks pretty new and doesn’t have that typical castle feel. Fun to walk around it and enjoy the view and the garden without having to pay entrance!
It’s not a very big area, we walked around for about 30 minutes.

I really love this castle; it's so pretty, even when you're far away. Just a little climb from the bus station, and you'll be there.

A very nice place for a walk. There is a museum on the territory (paid).
I wanted to get into the garden near the castle, but it was closed (it was late, in the evening).
A particularly beautiful view opens onto the old town and the river.
I recommend coming at sunset, when the sun's rays are soft and you get very good photos!)

Definitely a must see in Bratislava! The rebuilt castle made an incredible impression on me. It looks fabulous from the outside, the gardens are also beautiful, and the interior of the castle is very elegantly decorated. It's actually a castle, but there is a large museum there that is really worth visiting! You can easily spend 3-4 hours visiting. the tower offers a great panorama of the city. A ticket to the museum costs €12.

This is a very basic caste on the outside and inside. The museum was minimal. On the first Wednesday of each month the entrance fee is free. I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit. The best part is the view from this location to the river and city below. There is a castle parking garage that has stairs that go up to the castle hill and it’s not a far walk to the castle entrance.

Great views over the city and pleasant park. The castle itself is a cold, soulless rebuild from the 1950s, with empty and white interiors. Decent museum collection though. Can't miss it when here but not a must see either.
ArtisticBuilding — Google review
If you are in Bratislava, you must definitely visit its castle. The area that you see around the castle, as you walk to it, it's very nice and it's something different than the old town. The castle is quite big and located on the top, which makes it a great spot for photos and a view of the city. You can enjoy a walk around it, do some contemplating while your eyes run through the city and go down from the small roads on the rear side, for some mote exploration.
I read that the castle inside hasn't got much to offer, so I can't have an honest opinion, as I trusted the fellow reviewer and didn't visit sas well..
The Prater amusement park is a large public park in Vienna that has been popular with generations of Viennese. The park has a long history of hosting recreational activities, including a landmark giant wheel from 1897. In addition to its recreational value, the Prater is also home to Vienna's biggest stadium, the Ernst Happel Stadium. The area is huge and provides plenty of space for sport enthusiasts as well as shade for picnickers and strollers.
Really fun place, right outside the train station. We came by sunfall and enjoyed the beautiful lights after it went dark. The good rides cost at least 5 euro for person.

Great amusement park with a large variety of rides and activities. Not too crowded, waiting queues are small or rather nonexistent.

It’s an open amusement park, with roller coasters, museums, indoor games, restaurants and much more,,

If you like loud places where a lot is happening Prater is right for you. But even then it is rather expensive, a lot of the rides cost 5 Euro, it adds up fast, especially if you are there with children. Still it's a place with great tradition which is worth visiting at least once.

There are numerous shops and restaurants where one can sit down and relax and rides for everyone, from the easygoing to the extreme adrenalin junkie. On a very hot day, such as what we experienced, it really helps that there are water rides as well. This is a great place for the whole family or couples.

The oldest Ferris wheel is definitely worth a visit. The views of Vienna from the top are fantastic and totally worth it.

And as far as the rest of the park is concerned, if you have kids and have a day to spend this is the perfect place.

Nice place to visit and a must go when you are in Vienna.
However being "free" to enter is misleading. The rides cost so much per person for one ride (mostly 5€ per person per ride) that it makes wanting to do most rides a very expensive visit. However it is nice being able to walk round and look at everything for free if you are not a fan of the rides.
Great to see at night when lit up.

Prater is an amazing place to visit! This is my favorite spot in town; perfect for day a d night activities, suitable for solo or family, friends, dates or any other kind of gathering. Food options for all tastes, fun rides and nature to be enjoyed. Perfect for picnics or to walk with pets.

A wonderful experience.
Visited with a group of friends in the late afternoon and evening.
Enjoyed the rides, visual effects, people having fun.
Would most definitely want to visit again.
Enjoy this fun park with friends, family and guests.
Recommend going in the summertime ,especially late afternoon and evening .

It definitely worth a visit. Next to a metro station and with free entrance. It is a very nice amusement park with cool attractions. The average price of the attraction are around 3-6 euros for the ride. Have fun!
Felipe Toledo — Google review
Had a great time here. Free to get in, just pay for any rides you want to go on. Amusement Park food was tasty with a wide variety, from pizza to cordon Blu to sausage in a bun. There are plenty of places to get a beer or wine. Great for kids and adults.

I spent a whole day at the Prater and didn't even ride everything! The roller coasters were great, and I loved the variety of classic attractions like the Ferris wheel. It was busy, but the lines moved quickly and the staff kept things organized.

Nice, but nothing more. There is no adrenaline, the cabins are closed, you don't have the feeling that you are at a great height.

You MUST visit during your trip to Vienna. You can walk in for free because each attraction is paid separately 5 - 6 euro. You can pick what you want or you can just take a walk and watch people enjoying. Really cool place with eye that remember 1897 year. Cheers !
The Gothic cathedral St. Stephan's Cathedral is located in the heart of Vienna and boasts an ornate spire, catacombs, and a treasury museum. It is a popular Instagram spot for panoramas of the cityscape from either the tower or the outside.
Very very stunning church in the heart of the city. Made it there during mass in the evening, but will definitely be going back today to get the feel of the place during the day.
Amazing architecture from both inside and outside. It’s jaw dropping. And it has such an amazing/positive/calming energy.
The is no entrance fee to the church itself but if you wanna climb the tower and its 300+ steps or to see the catacombs you need to pay. Will add an update after I do the tours today.

Totally worth visiting it's free to enter. We visited in the evening and it was almost empty likely because tour groups go in the morning. The amazing detail in these buildings is always amazing and something worth experiencing. You can enjoy it inside and out.

Beautiful church, most of the main parts are free to visit so I can't think of a reason to not visit.
There are some parts of the church which you need to pay to enter, I paid for the catacombs tour and recommend that. I also paid to go up the north tower, you get good views of Vienna and a good look at the amazing tiled roof, however I am not sure it is worth the asking price of EUR 6 - take a look at the photos below and decide for yourself whether you want to pay to go up.
You can only buy tickets in person at the church, you cannot buy them online in advance, also they only accept cash, no cards.

Be fit if you're going up the south tower worth it for the view. North tower little lift ride to the top great to see the tiled roof up close. The catacombs tour was good. I got out of the afternoon heat for half an hour, which is very informative. Highly recommended to buy an all-inclusive ticket

St. Stephen's Cathedral is an architectural masterpiece that left me in awe. The intricate details of its Gothic design, including the stunning stained glass windows and towering spires, are truly captivating. The interior is equally impressive, with its majestic altar and historical artifacts. Climbing the South Tower was a highlight, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Vienna. A must-visit for history enthusiasts and architecture lovers!
Khadij Brz — Google review
This was an incredibly interesting and beautiful place to visit. There are several options for tickets, we chose the € 20 all inclusive per person one.
This allows a visit to the Cathedral itself plus both the North and South towers. One has an elevator and the other over 300 steps.Even though we could access both, we went with the elevator.
The view was fantastic, both of the city and the rest of the Cathedral. Then we had a guided tour of the crypt, absolutely brilliant and a great tour guide. The tour was in German and English and highly worth taking.
I would highly recommend this tour and if at all possible, try to be there for 10 am at least before the crowd.This part of Vienna is incredibly busy with tourists..
Also tickets are not available online and must be purchased in person in the Cathedral. This is cash only, as is the gift shop.

This is a must see for Vienna! The architecture is stunning. Once you’re inside the cathedral it is totally majestic and grand. My 69 yo father and I climbed Stephansdom South Tower - 343 steps in total. The views from the top were grand. Highly recommend!

St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna is a majestic masterpiece that truly captures the essence of the city's rich history and architectural grandeur. The awe-inspiring spires and intricate details make it a must-visit landmark. The interior is equally impressive, with stunning stained glass windows and ornate decor. Whether you're drawn to its religious significance or appreciate remarkable craftsmanship, St. Stephen's Cathedral stands as a symbol of Vienna's cultural and spiritual heritage. A visit to this iconic site is a journey through time, offering a glimpse into the heart of Vienna's enchanting past.
Beni Pater — Google review
Behold the majestic splendor of Saint Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, a timeless masterpiece that transcends mere architecture to embody the very soul of Austria's rich history and cultural heritage.
As you step through its ancient gates, you are transported to a realm where the whispers of the past mingle with the echoes of the present. Towering spires reach towards the heavens, their intricate facades adorned with intricate carvings that tell stories of triumph and tribulation, of faith and fortitude.
Inside, a symphony of light dances through stained glass windows, painting the hallowed halls with a kaleidoscope of colors that inspire awe and reverence. Each step unveils a new wonder: from the grandeur of the nave to the serenity of the chapels, every corner holds a treasure waiting to be discovered.
But it is not only the physical beauty of Saint Stephen's Cathedral that captivates the soul. It is the palpable sense of history that permeates its walls, the echoes of centuries of prayers and praises that linger in the air. Here, amid the hushed whispers of pilgrims and the solemn strains of organ music, one cannot help but feel a connection to something greater than oneself.
Saint Stephen's Cathedral is not merely a building; it is a living testament to the enduring power of faith and the indomitable spirit of humanity. It is a place where the past meets the present, where the sacred and the sublime converge in a harmony that transcends time itself.
To visit Saint Stephen's Cathedral is to embark on a journey through the annals of history, to walk in the footsteps of kings and queens, poets and peasants. It is an experience that will stay with you long after you have left its hallowed halls, a reminder of the enduring beauty and majesty of the human spirit.

I recommend you to take all in one ticket. You can buy it inside, go to the left and you will see the entry to the South Tower. Buy a ticket and go to the North tower. To get there, go out and walk around the church to the left side. You will see the entry to the North tower. It was not easy to get to the top, pretty narrow staircase corridor and long way up. The reason why you should go to this tower first because it closes earlier (see photo). You can observe night city from the South tower only.

I had the opportunity to go inside and check out this incredibly historic cathedral located in the city centre of Vienna. Both the inside and outside of the cathedral are stunning and picturesque. It is free to enter the church but there is also certain areas of the church that you need too pay to enter. I definitely could have spent more time in here and would definitely do it again when in Vienna and definitely recommend stepping inside if you haven’t at least once for a few minutes. At the time we we’re here it was mid November and there was a large Christmas market set up in the city center and we were wondering around on the evening when the area was most lively. Definitely wish to come back in the future.

Amazing cathedral! This cathedral is one of the highlights of the city. The exterior is very beautiful (especially the Eagle on the roof) and interior is also really impressive. Going inside is free of charge but if you want to go further or to the catacombs there is a charge.

Such a stunning piece of architecture! One of the most beautiful cathedrals I’ve ever been to in Europe. The detailed work here is marvellous. I’d say it’s a must visit if you’re in Vienna. You won’t regret it.
Alfred Aquino — Google review
Check times. Closed for tourists during mass. Free entry but pay for central bit and catacomb tour. Very busy when we went around 13.30.
It is truly subjective as it does depend on how much churches and cathedrals you’ve visited. We have visited too many I think especially the ones in Italy and even in England, hence this was a bit underwhelming. Gothic design. Tick. Ornate carvings. Tick. Not all of the outside has been cleaned which is authentic I think. We could see how history and time have affected it. Black soot/smoke from centuries gone.
One thing to commend it for being different - amazing roof!! That, I love. ❤️

Wow, St. Stephen's Cathedral is incredibly impressive, its size is breathtaking. The beautiful Gothic building is a symbol of Vienna. From the cathedral tower is a wonderful view of the city, but I warn you, there are 343 stairs to climb and it is very narrow, but it is worth it, I went up in June at 36°C outside 🤣

Beautiful Cathedral in central Vienna. While you do not have to pay to enter the church, there is a fee to tour the entire inside of the church. The line was too long the day we arrived, so we did not visit everything. Still beautiful and can take great photos from the free area.

Wow. I'll be yet another person to add a 5* review to this magnificent church! Stunning in its exterior, the beauty manages to extend to its interior. We made it during a mass which was great to experience and then visited again in the evening. Let the pictures speak as opposed to my review, and in reality, if you're in Vienna you're probably going to visit :)
Ultimately, my only gripe is that they only accept cash for tours.

The church is beautiful! A must see in Vienna. I like that they have divided their tour into sections and prices and you can buy an all inclusive or just buy the ones that you want. We bought the cathedral and catacombs. Cathedral has a QR code tour on your phone that is very informative. The catacombs were amazing and a little scary. Must see. We wanted to go to treasury too but the timings didn’t work for us. Do check opening times because they seem to open and close for visitors throughout the day/week, depending on services and mass.

We loved St. Stephen’s! We decided to buy tickets to the catacomb tour and the South Tower and we felt that we saw plenty. I think we spent about 10€ per person total to see both.
We loved the catacombs tour. Our guide was very enthusiastic and gave us a lot of information about the catacombs. It was very in depth and in both German and English. You pay at the end of the tour in cash (they have change).
The south tower was quite a trek - not for the faint of heart or claustrophobic. The stairs are very narrow and you end up walking past people going the opposite way. It gets very hot as well, so I’m not sure I’d recommend going on a hot day. We went on a rainy day and it was cooking, but thankfully the windows at the watch tower were open with a nice breeze to cool down at. You pay for tickets at the entrance of the South Tower.

You must visit this cathedral when you are in Vienna. It is the most beautiful church in the city and probably in Central Europe. The exterior of this gothic cathedral was build from 1300-1500. It used to have the highest church tower in the world, and when you enter this cathedral you will be amazed on how much effort the Viennese put in building this master piece. This church entry is free. But you can also visit some of the paid areas of the cathedral

Amazing gothic cathedral. The main cathedral in Vienna.
You can get an all inclusive ticket for 25€ to go up both towers, the museum and the catacombs or it's about 7€ for each thing individually. We just visited the catacombs as my husband had been up the tower previously. The catacombs are well worth the visit! The tour guide we had was very good. The tour was done in both German and English and very informative and the tour guide was very charismatic.

The construction began in 1137 and completed in 1578, however due to circumstances such as fire and WW2, it needs to renovate or reconstruct until to this time.
Anyway, this century old cathedral is one of the marvelous I've ever seen.
It is an iconic tourist spot located in the heart of Vienna.
The interior and exterior are jaw-dropping.
It is a free entrance and yet a long queue especially in the afternoon.
There is a portion inside the cathedral to purchase ticket entrance.
During my visit, a throng of people passes by and you can't concentrate nor roaming around.
It was such an honor to see, feel and experience a hundred centuries structural buildings.
Recommendable tourist spot but I prefer you to come here as early in the morning to avoid people.

St. Stephen's Cathedral, or Stephansdom, is a stunning Gothic masterpiece situated in the heart of Vienna. Construction began in the 12th century, and the cathedral has undergone various modifications and expansions over the centuries. Its iconic spire, reaching over 136 meters (446 feet) high, dominates the city skyline. The cathedral's interior is equally impressive, with intricate stained glass windows, majestic altars, and a beautifully crafted pulpit. St. Stephen's Cathedral is not only a significant religious site but also a symbol of Vienna's rich history and cultural heritage.
Belvedere Palace is a museum in Vienna, Austria that contains a wide range of art from the Middle Ages to today. The collection has particular importance for its holdings of Gustav Klimt paintings, which are some of the most beautiful and iconic works in the whole of Austria. The palace and its gardens make for a lovely place to spend an afternoon, and it's worth visiting if you're interested in Austrian art.
This is a must visit location in Vienna! The gardens are stunning in their elegance and memories of a bygone age abound in the architecture and layout.
The views of the hills around Vienna are wonderful.
You have beautiful water fountains to calm body and mind, and there's a lovely cafe at the Upper Belvedere where you can sit indoors / outdoors and relax whilst contemplating life in Vienna.
In addition, last, but certainly not least, you have the Gustav Klimt exhibition and the palace itself.
Time well spent, I'd say!

The complex of palaces and gardens Belvedere is just a masterpiece. Two palaces (upper and lower), a complex of fountains, landscape design, a huge square. Therefore, this place is always crowded. Gorgeous art exposition of Gustav Klimt, including his most famous works. If you decide to see the palaces from the inside and see a collection of paintings, then it is better to take tickets online (the difference is noticeable). On Belvedere it is necessary to have at least 5-6 hours. It's worth to see it by own
The buildings look amazing as well as the garden. Sculptures and fountains located along the paths are pleasing to the eyes.

*Note, I didn’t go into the Museum. This is about the gardens. I didn’t feel like going to see “The Kiss” which is the main reason you go to this Museum.
The gardens are absolutely spectacular. All three levels of them. The bottom level is fun to kind of walk through the hedges and find a little spots. Some of them have sculptures and some of them just have park benches but you don’t know till you enter. The two main fountains are beautiful and super picturesque one side you can see the beautiful palace on the other side you can see Vienna making both sides beautiful in different ways. You can easy spend a good 2 hours just walking and enjoying the gardens

My visit to Belvedere Castle in Vienna was a captivating journey through both art and history. This splendid palace, with its magnificent architecture and stunning gardens, is a true gem in the heart of the city.
The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the incredible collection of art housed within the castle. The Upper Belvedere, in particular, showcases an array of masterpieces, including works by Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. These paintings are not only artistically significant but also culturally and historically important.
The beautiful gardens, with their meticulously landscaped design, provided a serene backdrop for the castle. The views of Vienna from the terraces were absolutely breathtaking, making it a picture-perfect spot.
The staff at Belvedere Castle were informative and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply seeking a taste of Austrian culture and history, a visit to Belvedere Castle is a must. It's a cultural treasure trove that offers an unforgettable and visually stunning journey. I highly recommend it to anyone exploring Vienna.

Absolutely stunning palace. If you are short on time, do just the upper palace. Keep in mind entry is per the time given for your ticket. They don't take you in early and only give you a 20 minute window if you are delayed. The exhibitions are on three levels and it takes at least an hour to see each of them properly, 90 minutes for each level if you want to do justice to the beautiful paintings, sculptures and the rooms of the palace. The lower level has medieval and modern art if that's your thing. The gardens between the palaces are lovely too.

A beautiful palace with astonishing architecture and stunning gardens! The interior isn’t what you would expect as the palace was restored after being bombed in WW2. There is a beautiful ballroom made of marble on the second floor. The palace is filled with paintings from different periods and styles and can be considered more like a gallery.

It's hard to put this in to words how much this is worth visiting. You need to like art and you need to have patience to walk around and enjoy the culture. It was spectacular to see Klimt's the kiss.

We were fascinated by this incredible piece of Vienna’s history. Upon entering from the main gate you have this huge space with a lake and manicured flower beds.
At the entrance of the museum you must deposit your backpacks in a special room at the "bag storage" and you can choose which direction to take first. The visit inside the museum has no time limit, you can go inside for as long as you want. It really is a must-see tourist attraction. We recommend making tickets online so you can skip the line at the ticket office.

Make sure to get to the Upper gallery for this. Get your ticket online to skip the queue. The first floor baroque art ceilings are just marvellous and I couldn't get enough of staring at them.

One of the must see places at Vienna. There is Upper Belvedere, Lower Belvedere and the gardens. The gardens are free to visit. There are spread tickets for upper and lower palace. The upper place ticket is $17, but you can get a 2 in 1 ticket for $24. The famous “The Kiss” painting by Gustav Klimt is on the Upper Belvedere. It’s a must see. The gardens and the small lake are beautiful and worth the visit if you don’t want to go inside.

We only visited The upper Palace at Belvedere as this has a great art collection in particular the works of Gustav Klimt and many other great works of art. The building itself is spectacular as it was built as a Palace and never occupied as such, now serving as an Art Gallery. It also has a very nice cafe which looks out onto the gardens and Lower Belvedere.
There is, of course, a gift shop where one can buy memories at all budget levels.

Very impressive grounds and buildings - worth a trip just to walk around outside. Of course, the main attraction is Klimt's "The Kiss", but there are many other wonderful works of art. It's not as large as some other galleries and as such, it only took us about an hour and a half to look around. We went towards the end of the day and it wasn't too busy.
We had the Vienna Pass and couldn't see how to pre-book tickets on line, so went to the ticket sales on the day to find out we didn't need a ticket and to just show the Vienna Pass at the main entrance.

We bought our tickets online for the savings and grabbed coffee at a Greek restaurant across the street to wait.

We bought tickets online and there was no waiting time. But there was a small issue, they were renovating the part where you can store your luggage, so it was an extra effort to take it back to the HBf, to store it and to come back. The online ticket was valid for one hour, so you need to be careful to not miss it. The museum itself is a bit overrated and 17€ is really too much for it.

Don't buy ticket. Just go visit the garden.
Well the palace is huge and is ticked. However, the garden behind it captures its essence is what I had heard. The garden is open for all for free. It has beautiful sculptures, a lot of flora, and fountains. The sculptures are unique and perfect for time travel. The garden is extremely well kept and has flowers like tulip and lavender. One can breath the fragrance in the air. A lot of tourists stop here and so should you!
You can sit around and take a moment to absorb the beauty.
There's a small cafe there as well which too is open for all. They seemed to have a decent collection but they don't allow takeaway... They are strictly "dine-in" only. We were in a rush so couldn't sit in, but if you have time - the desserts looked good

I loved the Palace itself, it’s so gorgeous it’s actually a little overwhelming. The view is breathtaking to the point I felt like I was not paying enough attention to the art displayed inside.
This is one of the best, if not the best overall museum I have ever been to. Unfortunately my visit has been a bit tainted by the way I was greeted at the entrance. I was told to use the lockers on the left hand side, to my surprise those required a €2 coin to be inserted, which I did not have so started panicking a little, understandably - this visit was the highlight of my trip and having spent close to 8 hours travelling to Vienna, tiredness started catching up to me. I saw no mention of this on the website. In fact, I checked the FAQ prior to my visit as I contemplated heading to the hotel first, having been on the move since I arrived in Vienna earlier in the morning. For those interested, from Belvedere website: Yes, you will find lockers, free of charge, at all Belvedere locations.
How come was I directed to paid lockers? I can only imagine this was an attempt to get even more money from those visiting. Extremely disappointing and distasteful. I eventually headed to the cloakroom, where I was able to leave my backpack indeed free of charge.
I am the kind of person who always visits the museum gift shops to have something to bring back the memories, however on this occasion I decided not to purchase anything, purely because of the locker situation.
Large lake featuring warm waters for alleged health benefits & an indoor/outdoor spa with services.
This is a lovely thermal lake which also is huge. Everyone gets an armband that also gives you a personal locker for your belongings. Note that you can not pick any locker you have to blip the armband at the screen when entering the locker room and then you are assigned a locker.
I recommend going around the lake to the "relax" section where there are a lot fewer people and a much more calm setting. The lake is quite warm so do not expect to get cooled down on a warm summer day.

I have 2 rates for Lake Héviz.
The lake itself is really nice 4,2
The staff 1 star (if you are foreigner)
The communication was complicated with the staff since they don’t speak English, and that’s understandable even tho it is a very touristic place and the signs inside are all in English.
However when they tried to buy other tickets they spoke in Hungarian and realized we didn’t speak at all, one person started to yell at us and was obvious she was complaining while her colleague was laughing loud, she called one person to speak to us while they kept having this XENOPHOBIC behavior for some minutes.
Its a paradox you go to a place to relax and the staff are rude and disrespectful.
We forgot after some minutes the situation and we were able to relax and enjoy the place

Honestly I thought this was going to be gross and super packed with people. But it was very relaxing and therapeutic. The Lake is gigantic and there enough space to spread out in the water. There are different depths and parts to the spa as well. There is a super deep part and then there are sulfur baths. Spent most of my time in the outside lake part and on the sun chairs. You pay and get a wrist band that tracks you. Different pricing for how long you want to stay.

A good experience in line with expectations.
Would be so much better if kids pool had thermal water, and not copious amounts of chlorine that lead to red swollen eyes.

Lovely warm lake, swam in January in it. The complex is old, especially inside of bathing area. Not clearly indicated connection door between internal area with external (if you want to swim, and not walk by stairs).
Cafe shop is poor, expensive and I disliked it totally, but this was the only option.
Don't wear silver jewerly, it would change color!

A well organized spa with medical and healing waters. There is place to buy food and also rent ‘floaters’ which I recommend since the lake can be rather deep. I did not take any therapies but various one are available. The staff is very helpful! I realized I had left my mobile phone behind as soon as I left the place, and they had already found it! Amazing! Highly recommendable to anyone wishing to try natural healing waters.

Beautiful natural warmwaterlake to spend quality time and relax in the thermal lake or laying at a free deck chair. Dayticket costs 6000K (20€), there are also tickets for 3h (3500K) and 4h (4300K). You can eat inside the park or leave to eat outside and return.

A very well kept secret for rheumatology illnesses, muscle and nerve issues, injuries or just soul and relaxing searching purposes. A little heaven. I stayed in Heviz in a little private Pension, for a week. Yes, things might be not hypermodern and a bit out of date...BUT...it is therefore that things are still very much affordable for everyone ( not only well off people) and it serves every inch the purpose. There is an Medical centre and treatment centre at the slake...and everyone is friendly, professional and happy to help. Most people speak German, English and they are very professional . I had massages . I will definitely return.

Our host at our Airbnb, Veronica, kindly gave us two tickets for cheaper entry to the baths. There are loungers everywhere but finding a free one is a bit of a challenge. The water is very warm, about 32—35°C in summer. My daughter swam 2km, I just stayed at the edge; nearly everyone has a float in the water. The cafe was winding down so our chips were nearly cold which was very disappointing. Cafe closed at 6pm; we were there at 5pm so why cold food an hour before closing?
The Mostar Old Bridge Viewpoint offers stunning views of the city, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Incredibly, the bridge was rebuilt in the 1990s following its bombardment during the civil war. Numerous cafes and restaurants line the bridge's banks, making it an ideal spot to spend a few hours enjoying the sights and sounds of Mostar.
The historic town of Mostar, spanning a deep valley of the Neretva River, developed in the 15th and 16th centuries as an Ottoman frontier town and during the Austro-Hungarian period in the 19th and 20th centuries. Mostar has long been known for its old Turkish houses and Old Bridge, Stari Most, after which it is named. In the 1990s conflict, however, most of the historic town and the Old Bridge, designed by the renowned architect Sinan, was destroyed. The Old Bridge was recently rebuilt and many of the edifices in the Old Town have been restored or rebuilt with the contribution of an international scientific committee established by UNESCO. The Old Bridge area, with its pre-Ottoman, eastern Ottoman, Mediterranean and western European architectural features, is an outstanding example of a multicultural urban settlement. The reconstructed Old Bridge and Old City of Mostar is a symbol of reconciliation, international co-operation and of the coexistence of diverse cultural, ethnic and religious communities.

Kravica Waterfall National Reserve is a popular attraction with stunning waterfalls and nearby amenities. There is an entrance fee, but it's worth the cost to spend time sunbathing, enjoying a picnic or sitting in a cafe. The area has rocky coastlines and swift water currents, so special shoes are recommended for swimming. Visitors can take great walks and capture picturesque photos of the breathtaking scenery.
Paid entrance.
But the park is worth the money.
It is better to spend more time here, sunbathe, sit in a cafe or have a picnic. But be careful, the water speed is high and the coast is rocky, take special shoes with you if you plan to swim.
Great place for walking and picturesque photos.

We visited these waterfalls now in July 2022. I can say that the place is more beautiful than in photos. The entrance can be payed by credit card. When arriving near the waterfalls we payed for the boat trip (60 euros for 4 persons). It is worth the money. It is 50 minutes and you can enjoy the landscape, the birds, the fishes and the specific plants that grow there. I recommend to everyone this place.

The place is amazing. It is fantastic to be allowed to take a bath there, and there are many routes and paths. There is also a turistic train, you can rent sunbeds and towels, there are restaurants and bars, so the place is completely for tourists, beautiful, but crowded even in September as the temperature is about 34 degrees.
Luis Vidal — Google review
Beautiful waterfalls but not worth the extortionate price of €10. I don't see why the cost is this much. It's a natural feature. Tourist trap, perhaps?
We stopped off here on our tour and only had an hour. The water was cold, and if I had more time, I probably would have gone in for a dip. 1 hour wasn't long enough for more than a toe touch.
The falls are beautiful. It's surrounded by trees. It's more of a nature walk than somewhere you can sit and picnic. Again, I don't see how they justify the entrance fees.
There is currently building works in progress on the lower level, someone giving rides in a small boats, toilets at the top, and a small cafe that doesn't even sell 6 They only accept Convertible Mark (km) in Mostar. Conversion 2km = €1 yet here they only accepted Euros.

Boasting a stunning view that attracts crowds, this location is perfect for family visits. A mere 5-10 minute downhill walk will lead you there, and the path is quite accessible for both elders and young children. Despite temperatures reaching up to 33 degrees, the water remains delightfully crisp. For those seeking a refreshing dip, it's absolutely perfect!
Boat rentals are conveniently available, providing an exciting opportunity to get up close with the waterfalls. A selection of bars ensures you can quench your thirst, while comfortably lounging on beach chairs. Moreover, restrooms are available, adding to the overall convenience.
Whether you're seeking a bit of adventure or simply a place to relax, this location has a lot to offer. You'll certainly appreciate the natural beauty and well-thought-out amenities.

We visited the waterfall on a day tour from Split and highly recommend doing so of you're either in Split or Dubrovnik and it's really time well spent! Compared to other waterfalls or national parks in Croatia here you can actually swim in the water which is a great plus. The waterfalls are beautiful and a must see. Would come back for sure!

A place worth visiting if in the area. The tickets were 10.30 euro per person, we have payed by a card. The toilets are located just after the tickets office. Parking is spacious and free.
You can admire the beautiful waterfalls while laying down on the bathing beach, so it's worth staying there for a few hours. There are a few places to eat, but you can only pay with cash so be prepared. Word of advice, if you're tempted to buy alcohol from the guy mid way to the waterfalls - don't. The same products are at least 5 e cheaper by the parking.

Wow has this place improved and got a life in the past 10 years. We were there when they only had 1 little hut thing to get drinks and you could still just off the cliffs near the falls.

Stunning waterfalls a short walk (down approx 100-200 steps) from the car park. It's filled with tourists, but this didn't diminish the experience. There are bars all around the edge of the waterfall plunge pool but they are relatively well priced. A very enjoyable freshwater swim will take you right up close to the bottom of the falls. On the far side from you where you come in there is a sandy shallow area where you can paddle. Well worth a visit. 10 eur entry pp, parking free.

Mljet is a picturesque island covered in forests and boasts of beautiful beaches, caves, and national parkland that invites hikers to explore. The national park occupies a vast area of 5400 hectares on the western end of the island, offering shaded walking and cycling tracks, stunning coastal views, ancient ruins, and saltwater lakes. The two main villages of Pomena and Polace are bustling with tourists during summer days but remain tranquil after boat departures.
Such a beautiful island, the lakes are like paradise and the restaurants and bars are lovely - couldn’t recommend it more
Emily Lillywhite — Google review
If you are a nature appreciator, you will love it here. Everywhere you look you will see beauty. If you love loud, bad music and pop your collar, you will be bored in 2 hours. This is island is sleepy. Def not a party place.
I came to the island from Dubrovnik. Take the kilro ferry to pomena, mljet. Rent a room at Odisej Mljet( bonus plug to them for serving vegan food)
The park is a short walk from the hotel. It’s like 20 USD/Euro to get in. Lovely trails, nice and gravely. Gorgeous, turquoise water that you can swim in. So lovely. You can rent bikes if you wish. You can take a boat (runs every 20 mins) to St. Mary on the islet of St. Mary. Long story short, it’s a historical church on an island. There is a cute little restaurant in the park where you can stop for an espresso or meal and admire the lake.
I really enjoyed this park, its maintained and it’s very well marked. No chance to get lost. Only thing that was disappointing is that there weren’t many birds or wildlife as far I could tell. In all fairness , I was there all three days in the afternoon when the sun was blazing. And Birds don’t like heat. Maybe there would be more action in the morning. Anyways. I loved this park very much. Incredibly safe for a solo, vegan , female ,nature lover.

Nr. 1 favourite place in whole Croatia. An island in the adriatic where there is a lake, with another island on it, giving a location to an old church and a nice restaurant. It is a little bit like Bled lake in Slovenia, but with salty water. :) It is a real beauty of nature, could spend there a whole week.

Beautiful place, with no easy access, but maybe this is an advantage, because it is not so crowded.
The nature is stunning. Why not 5 stars? We did not like one of the city - Sobra with the worst omelette that I have ever eaten in my life😅
Pomena is much better! At first, we planned to stay at the hotel (only one in the island, but the hotel looks like from the eightiesand is very expensive - over 120 e per night, definitely not worth). We found an amazing room at SALEMA Apartaments in Pomea. I do not remember the address, but close to the entrance to the national park. The host is fab and the place - simple, extremely clean and with all u need. Value for money. 😀

We visited Pomena which is a small village on the island of Mljet in Croatia that is so quaint and charming you may never want to leave.
It is still one of those hidden gems, but in recent years has seen a bit more development to make it very easy to stay, whilst still being somewhere that feels hidden from the world.
The nature surrounding it and the national park make Mljet perfect for nature lovers and hikers. Daily walks are a must.

The Korcula Town Museum is a small 16th-century Renaissance palace which showcases exhibits on the history and culture of Korcula. The museum features an impressive collection of amphoras, photographs from the 1930s and 1950s, and other historical artifacts that have been arranged in chronological order. Visitors can explore the rich history of Korcula for a modest entrance fee of only 20kn.
Really good and modern museum occupying 5 floors. EUR6 entrance fee. The basement has the oldest pieces, and it gets more modern history as you climb up. Also a good toilet in the basement, which is handy! I particularly liked the helmet from the 5th or 6th century BC.

Korcula Town Museum is located across the St. Marc Cathedral. The Museum is housed in Gabrieli's palace, built in the 15th and 16th centuries but newly renovated. It consists of 4 floors and shows how life on the island looked before.
I would definitely recommend this place so you can understand the history of Korcula better. My favorite parts of the museum are the 3rd and 4th floor but the other two floors are no less attractive.

Diocletian's Palace is a large and imposing Roman ruins in the heart of Split, Croatia. It served as a residence for an emperor and the military garrison, and is one of the city's top tourist attractions. The museum inside tells the story of one of historys most powerful men.
It's an old fortress in old town of split. You can roam around the fortress. Mostly it's closed so you can see ruins from outside but still it's beautiful. Many GOT scenes are shot here

The palace and grounds are an amazing opportunity to step into the past. A guided tour would take you 2 hours approx but give you a history of the development of the palace and it's many uses.
Also, at midday every day there is a small 'welcome' from the acted ruler and soldiers at the door to the palace.

A beautiful location of living history. Contemporary business and active household intermingling and adapting to the Roman history that it all resides in. An audio walking tour of the area is highly recommended, but don't hesitate to stray a few blocks outside the palace on any given side. There are wonderful restaurants and shops near the palace in addition to those inside.

The history of this place is just out of this world! A roman palace that’s still live and been repurposed to accommodate the lifestyle in the 21 st century!! It’s a touristy area so expect lots of little shops and restaurants within the walls. Highly recommend visiting if you are in Split.
Ghazal — Google review
We were so stunned walking through this Roman palace in Split! It is actually the world's most complete remains of a Roman palace. On first sight you may not recognize it as a palace as it looks rather like a city wall. This is because in post Roman times the people of split built their city inside the palace. So you will need some imagination when visiting. Best is to start your way in the cellar, entering from the harbor side. Then walk your way up to the historic Peristyle. Also three of the original four gates are preserved. Our biggest highlight was the temple of Aesculapius. Five stars is not enough for this site and even our kids could not get enough of it!

Great place to see. A lot of activities here. Shops, food, drinks, etc. Please make sure you allow yourself enough time at this ancient historical site. There is so much to see. You need at least 2 solid days to explore all the nooks and crannies, streets and alleyways. Only parts of the original palace remain but are still a significant chunk of the site. It's interesting to see how the newer portions intermingle with the original. If you are into ancient history and enjoy the grandure of construction from that time, this is the place for you. Well... given the multitude of other activities, it's a great place for everyone. Oh, and don't forget to check out the Riva and enjoy the view of the Adriatic sea.

Amazing place, beautiful, kept in good condition. It's best to visit early in the morning to avoid the crowds of visitors.

This place is a must see!

Stunning Roman remains right in the heart of Splits. Most of the palace can be visited for free and there are great views of the harbour when you get to the second level. I also highly recommend checking out the crypt for some more touring but I would stay away for the shops as they're overly expensive and clearly tourist traps.

Diocletian's Palace in Split is truly a gem, seamlessly weaving history and aesthetics. The palace's architectural beauty serves as a testament to its rich past, providing visitors with a captivating journey through time.
Exploring the shops within the palace reveals a mix of treasures, although some may find them a tad pricey. However, the elevated quality of the items, including a remarkable but relatively expensive ice cream priced at 2.50, justifies the expense. It seems that the taste surpasses the cost, making it a worthwhile indulgence for those with a penchant for exceptional treats.
For an optimal experience, I recommend scheduling your visit in the evening. This timing not only allows for a more intimate exploration of the palace's historical significance but also helps avoid the bustling crowds that tend to gather in the middle of the day.
A highlight not to be missed is the bell tower. Ascending its heights provides not only a panoramic view of the surroundings but also a unique perspective on the palace itself. It adds an extra layer of charm to the visit, making the exploration of Diocletian's Palace in Split a truly enriching and memorable experience.

The old city of Split is one of the most wonderful historical cities in the Europe. The labirynth of streets, hidden shortcuts and historical spirit give you a feeling that you are walking in ancient Rome empire. I recommend to walk across streets during day and also to see this beautiful city by night. It's also worth to buy ticket to visit city's attractions - everything in reasonable prices, but experience exceeds expectations.
Robert Obłój — Google review
A fascinating area of Split. Which draws in a lot of tourists. We found it best visited early morning as the foot traffic was less. This allows you to capture the beauty in a more relaxed environment.
The streets are beautiful, and some of the alleys are tiny. Just walk round and take it all in.
Tickets are needed for attractions such as Bell Tower and Cathedral but elsewhere free. Keep your eyes peeled for faces and artwork on the walls above eye level.
There are plenty of places to eat and drink in the area, and it's buzzing with life. Which is also great.
Melissa Roberts — Google review
The palace is not typical like other Roman sites as there are shops and museums in the palace grounds with crowds packing all the main areas even during October time. It is quite impressive and in a prominent sea facing location.
You can easily wander around the palace to see the history, architecture shop and get some food to eat.
I would recommend the underground tour to see the massive structure below the streets and admire the construction feat.
And don't forget to visit the cafes, restaurants and shops in the palace grounds

For me it was like time travel. I can see improvement on the respect to the place. It used to be open for everyone and now you have to pay to see some of that gorgeous old buildings. That's good. We have to preserve our heritage. It's going in the right direction. Nice!

Cool place with active businesses in it. You can wander around for free, but the bell tower and the underground is worth a paid visit. I was here in February and there were few people around.

Amazingly interesting place, full of history. Do it with a guide to get the full benefit of the place, or you will miss out on half the story.
Entrance into the palace area is free, entrance into the museums and tower is paid.

Amazing old town of Split, with the palace of Diocletian. No classical entry required as it’s a lived area of the modern city as well, however booking a walking tour to learn about the history is worthwhile.

Diocletian's Palace in Split is an architectural marvel blending history with modern life seamlessly. From its ancient walls to bustling cafes, every corner exudes charm. A must-visit destination that captivates with its rich heritage and vibrant atmosphere!

This was such an amazing place
to visit and explore. We learned so much history. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Split was an amazing place to visit. We learned about the palace being decorated with numerous 3500 year old granite sphinxes, and now there are only three remaining left. It was supposed to be the retirement home for Diocletian. It was also one of the filming locations for Game of Throne's so that was cool to see as well.

If you go to Split this place is a must see. The history speaks for itself. Also, you'll see where Game of Thrones filmed their dragon's lair. Very cool. See below.

Historial monumental palace, covers big part of the city. Great for few hours walking, connected with maraina, caffeteria, restaurants. Must see while visiting Split.

Huge place. Take your time to go through the alleys and be amazed by the engineering to build such a city. I imagine the people staying on the higher "floors" are richer, and since unclean stuff flows down, the people staying at the ground levels and below regularly have to do the cleaning up.
A labyrinth of alleys and overhead arches built with stones is amazing.
The Old Town Hall is a historical landmark in Split, Croatia. The building dates back to 1443 and has Gothic windows and a loggia. It now hosts temporary exhibitions. The walls of the old city are still standing, protecting it from attack for almost two millennia.
Super nice place and very graceful! A peaceful place in the middle of the centre of split 🥰😊😊😊👍👍👍👍

The Old Town Hall is beautiful. The area has many shops and restaurants. But most of the shops were not open on the weekends. I saw many shops that had items I wanted to purchase but couldn't because we were there on Saturday. However, almost all the restaurants in the Old Town Hall are open for business.

In the old city built by Diocletian, you can enjoy a walking tour with guide or just wonder by yourself through the old town. Navigating is easy because the town is square and with a north to south, east to west cross roads. At each wall of the town are the four gates, gold, silver, bronze and iron.
Inside the town are cafes, small souvenir shops and boutiques selling clothes. For those who are more fit, climb the bell tower for a fantastic view of the city.

You can book a guided tour with English or other languages. Not only the astronomical clock is amazing but visiting old town hall inside with guided tour is very informative. The guide will also lead you to the cellar and it is full of interesting historical stories which you cannot hear without the guide 😆 For the tower, you need to pay extra for the elevator but it is also not difficult to climb up.

Well it's ok to look at but not much to look at...
Airy rooms & apartments in a refined hotel featuring a restaurant, a cocktail bar & beach access.
The hotel is nice the nearest to Zlatni Rat Beach, the people at the reception are amazing very helpful and the breakfast was perfect ❤️

Well this hotel is disappointing for me. The first reason is, we took it for a jacuzzi and the water was cold. I asked to fix that, they did but didn't tell me how. Next morning again cold water. so for us jacuzzi was useless. The room was big clean nice but it smelled like sewage. At first I thought it might be from the bathroom, but no. the whole room smelled very bad. the sound insulation is very bad. the first night I couldn't sleep because of the music from below and the second night we heard the neighbors in a very unpleasant act. Service was good. Breakfast was good and the location perfect but I do not have wish to be back.and this is not a resort. We went on the third day to the next resort for the same price for all inclusive and much more.

Horrible..
We chose this hotel because of its location, here the advantages of it end..
It is a 3 star hotel, I understand that, but it doesn't mean that it can be filthy. Ripped sheets, dirt in the bathroom, shower drain is stuck, air conditioner is noisy as many comments below say.
I was ashamed because I brought my family for their vacation there. So we had two rooms. And this is for the price they ask.

Great location and great rooms. I think they were just updated so everything was fresh and clean. Service was ok parking is a bit of a mess having to call then drive down a walking path and pay extra 20€. Dinner was great and service was ok. Gin station with fresh cookies was a nice touch. Cleaning lady was awesome and insisted on changing our towels. We liked that walking path forward Bol had many options to stop in for drinks and food and beach was awesome. Not hotel fault but it’s way too commercialized.

Visited the beach restaurant as a group of 5. The pasta and fries were good, so was the presentation. They could be more generous with the amount of carbonara, not gonna lie.
Everything else on the menu was obviously frozen food. Definitely avoid the burgers though, unless you like SPAM for your “meat”patty and dry bread to soak up the massive amount of oil.

Very disappointing, other than the good location of the hotel near the beach. I'll give you a brief review.
When entering the hotel, when going by car, you have to call the receptionist of a 4-star hotel to open the gate for you. The receptionist does not pick up the phone though so you do have to walk yourself to the hotel and then back to the gate (Half a km). The same goes for departure.
Another problem when going by car is that you have to pay for the parking - 20 euros per day.
You will be given one key - which can be taken by only one person...
The apartments are indeed good looking, fresh but damp for some reason.
The clearing service - rude.
Breakfast - everything cold: chicken nuggets/ fries and pizza (for breakfast?? probably left over from the day before).
The hotel includes a restaurant. Terrible food! With the new owner of the hotel, the food has become gross. The meals that we ordered, many times, were given fully back, and our money was spent rather at a different place. The prices are very high - so why such a bad quality?
A 4-star hotel should have it's swimming pool. We were upset when we were disgustingly kicked out, without being informed, that It was a private pool - a couple of years ago the same swimming pool was a part of the hotel.
...and all of this for such a high price?

Service, location and breakfast are great!
The breakfast has vegetarian and vegan options like almond milk and fresh fruit.
The hotel is not a resort as the title says. It is a room you rent to stay close to the beach. Nothing else. We stayed 1 night and parked the car in the private hotel parking. By check out we found out we needed to pay the parking (€20) even when you are a guest of the hotel?? We already stayed in a lot of resorts around the world and never did we have to pay an hotel parking. Very dissapointed about this so called resort with no services of a resort.

Very nice place and the people at the reception where amazing and super nice. Breakfast was also super good. Didn't give this place a 5 star because of the high price.

This is a very nice hotel, I am giving a good review because of the location, cleanliness and the friendly staff. Everyone from the reception desk, housekeeping to the waiters was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The gorgeous beach is a minute away and everything is nearby / within walking distance. There is a nice alley perfect for a walk to the city right below the hotel. I highly recommend this place and will definitely stay again.

DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL - THE WORST HOTEL EVER! We booked through Booking and in the end they charged us a much higher price. The people at the front desk could not speak English well so they could not explain the situation to us. The breakfast was terrible, the restaurant smelled bad. The presentation of the food looked bad and very few options. The hotel restaurant is right next to a public pedestrian street so it is very busy, that’s the only street that takes you to the beach. The only view the hotel has of the Zlatni Rat is poor because of the trees and it is the same view that anyone passing through the pedestrian street can see. The only positive thing is that the rooms are new, although when we entered they had a welcome fruit bowl full of ants.

Great location and that's about it. The bed mattresses and pillows are very poor quality, probably the cheapest type.
AC blowing right towards the beds which is not very comfortable.
The breakfast is not in line with the prices the hotel is charging for the night 331 eur; poor food choices and food quality same as in a ordinary cheap hotel.
The Path to Spanish Fortress is a lovely path that leads up to the Spanish fortress. The location is perfect and easy to find, and it's also easy to walk up the steep hill. The view from the top is worth it, and it's also a great place for a picnic.
If you plan to visita spanish fortress, please do it by walking the path. Views are incredible

Very nice path. The location is perfect and easy to find. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes because the way up is a bit steep.

Very nice concrete path up to the Spanish fortress with great views of Hvar port. Easy for kids to do - although not recommended for a post-swimming walk if yours are easily tired. 🙃 It’s in direct sun on late afternoon.
