Waterloo Battlefield in Belgium is a must-visit for military enthusiasts and tourists alike. The underground museum and visitor center offer immersive multimedia exhibits on the 1815 Battle of Waterloo, one of the bloodiest battles in history. While there are few remains of the battlefield today, it serves as a place for reflection and contemplation. The new museum presents updated historical findings, debunking myths and reevaluating the roles of different parties involved.
Amazing piece of history and a great place to visit for both enthusiasts and general interest.
The path through the museum, into the panoramic and the Lions Mound are very clearly marked and allow you to really understand what you are seeing.
The reenactors were also very enthusiastic and did a great job with the cannon demonstration.

Interesting historical site with loads of interactive modern features. With the online guides you can learn interesting facts about the whole area in many aspects. The Panorama also provides a good experience. Climbing to thetop of the artificial hill really requires some level of fitness. The onsite provided presentations, the 4D movie and many other fascinating things are providing entertainment for the full family.

Good museum. Many different interpretations of the Battle of Waterloo and the different Coalition Wars. The painted panorama is also very impressive. However, the price is way to high for the experience. A 1€ discount for students is ridiculous.
Drago — Google review
Fantastic Experience!
Came here 7/5/23 10:00-14:50 with the €21 ticket for students (no entrance to the Wellington Museum and the farm where the general slept before the Battle)
€3,5 365a Bus from Bruxelles Porte de Hal.
At the ticket office you are provided with a map of the area, carrage ride timetable and the daily schedule for the different activities they offer (cannon shooting, first aid in a battlefield, platoon...).
The whole visit was great, the audioguide (that you download on your cellphone, good thing I carry headphones) was detailed and interesting. The displays working, and full of images and fun facts. The timelines on the wall help you understand the sequence of events on both sides.
Only things I feel were missing were more details about all the Marshalls that served under Napoleon (which I was looking forward after having seen a docuseries on YouTube), especially my sister's favourite Oudinout aka "colinder man".
After 2:25h, at 12:30 I got on the 10min horse carriage ride to the Hougoumont Farm.
There one of the workers gave a tour of the area, unfortunately only in French, so I couldn't participate.
Although a lot of action happened around this Farm and the importance it had in defeating Napoleon, there wasn't that much information (on the app), so you can easily visit it in 40min.
Walk back to the Panorama of the Battle of Waterloo. Very impressive!
It goes in great detail of what was happening in that day, and a MUST is using the guide to understand what all the details are representing. Don't glance at it quickly, but take your time to study it (it took me 40min). Loved it :-)
Then up I went to the Lion Mound which is more for the view you see, but on a rainy day, you had slippery stairs and not too much to see except dark clouds and green fields.
Afterwards I went to see the field activities, where I got to try the different (more for kids size) uniforms and hold an original bayonette (heavy!).
And that was my experience, really recommended :-)

Must see for history geeks. Museum is interesting and has a 4D 15-minutes movie about the battle. Climb to the lion statue is not easy but not impossible either, The view from there on the battlefield is good. I would suggest to choose a good weather for the visit, as you will also have to walk around 1 km to reach the hougoumont farm - one of the key scenes of the battlefield. The only downside - I could not make the audio guide app work.

Nice museum. Make sure to bring your own headphones so you can listen to the guided your on your phone. The app wasn't working when we were there but it would have been a great addition to our experience.

Visited Waterloo after leaving Brussels. Museum was very informative and well presented. Perfect when rainy outside. Lucky that we got to see the Lion on top after the rains had stopped. The view of the surrounding area where battle took place was worth the climb.
Nook Suphamongkhon — Google review
Very interesting and intense experience, especially since the new museum brings in all the new results of historians and reevaluated the role of each party. The myth of Wellington is definately debunked and it appears more like that the collaboration of all the United forces with a large part of German and Dutch groups who besieged Napoleon and his army in this battle. The exhibition focuses also on the sad destinies of the single soldiers, since they were the ones doing the „job“ in the end.
My only critique is the overrepresentation of Napoleon in the Museums shop. I prefer not to see cute figures of him after having experienced how aggressive he was against other countries.

A greatly educative museum which is well preserved and recorded. Information about the historic event is very interactive

Incredible museum. Lots to see and interact with. Parking was no issue and free. Great mix of historical items, activities and life size figures. The 3D movie was very powerful. Really helped bring to life the setting and sequence of events prior to moving out onto the actual battlefield. I liked the timelines in one of the hallways that showed the actions take by Napoleon in parallel to the Coalition. Napoleon on the left and coalition on the right. The wax figures on Napoleon and his staff/commanders really put you there in the moment and were so realistic.

A really good museum. The 4d film is impressive as is the diorama. The cafe was expensive and didn't open until noon so have tea/coffee breakfast before going. Also, the shuttle bus to the farm wasn't running. All of this may be because we visited mid March. Still well worth visiting for about 4 to 5 hours.

Great historical museum. When we went there where not manny people which I think is a shame since it’s hold great historical value.
Very interactive museum much information you can get from books 📚 but great to see I really live. Would suggest if you have the time to visit it. Parking was free.

It was better than I thought it was going to be :)
I drove past several times when flying from Charleroi, and even stopped by last time, but got there right before closing. This time I arrived too early. It was worth the wait, I'm a big fan of the Napoleonic Era, and the Waterloo memorial didn't disappoint. That 4D movie was a bit underwhelming, I guess they need a technology update at some point.

Geschichte kann man hier hautnah erleben. Das Gelände besteht aus vier Teilen. Das unter der Erde errichtete Museum mit modernen Präsentationen zur berühmten Schlacht sowie einer Sonderausstellung zu 50 Jahre ABBA und ihrem gleichnamigen Song Waterloo, der 1974 zum Gewinn des ESC geführt hat. Hier hat mir ganz besonders die 4d Animation der Schlacht gefallen, die mit 3d Brille angeschaut wird. Die Akteure kommen einem dabei sehr nahe.
Im sogenannten Panorama wird die Schlacht in 360 Grad dargestellt, davor befinden sich Requisiten wie tote Soldaten und Pferde, Kanonen usw. Wirklich sehr beeindruckend. Dieses Gebäude ist schon fast 100 Jahre alt, aber nach wie vor faszinierend.
Draussen auf dem Schlachtfeld befindet sich der Butte de Lion, einem künstlich aufgeschüttetem Hügel mit 40 m Höhe, auf dessen Spitze ein 28 Tonnen schwerer Löwe aus Gusseisen thront. Hinauf kommt man über eine Treppe mit ca. 250 Stufen, wofür man eine gewisse Fitness benötigt.
Das sogenannte Biwak des Kaisers ist das Hauptquartier von Napoleon mit den Fahnen von Frankreich, Grossbritannien und Preussen. Draussen steht eine interessante Skulptur von Napoleon und ein Preussen Adler.
Ich kann jedem unbedingt empfehlen, dieses Memorial zu besuchen. Auch der gut sortierte Souvenierladen mit Literatur und Andenken ist hervorzuheben.

You can experience history up close here. The site consists of four parts. The underground museum with modern presentations on the famous battle as well as a special exhibition on 50 years of ABBA and their song of the same name, Waterloo, which led to them winning the ESC in 1974. I particularly liked the 4D animation of the battle, which is viewed with 3D glasses. The actors come very close to you.
In the so-called panorama, the battle is shown in 360 degrees, in front of which there are props such as dead soldiers and horses, cannons, etc. Really very impressive. This building is almost 100 years old, but still fascinating.
Outside on the battlefield is the Butte de Lion, an artificially raised hill 40 m high, on the top of which sits a 28-ton cast iron lion. You get up via a staircase with around 250 steps, which requires a certain level of fitness.
The so-called Emperor's Bivouac is Napoleon's headquarters with the flags of France, Great Britain and Prussia. Outside there is an interesting sculpture of Napoleon and a Prussian eagle.
I can definitely recommend everyone to visit this memorial. The well-stocked souvenir shop with literature and souvenirs is also worth mentioning.

I visited this battlefield back in 1988, now it’s an impressive site for what was a history making battle. It’s an impressive monument and place to visit, really enjoyed it.
Aqualibi is a year-round indoor waterpark located at the entrance to Walibi Belgium. The park features a variety of high-speed and gentle water slides, a wave pool, and a dedicated kids' zone. The indoor facility boasts glass roofs, housing attractions such as a relaxation pool with massage jets, Laguna Verde heated to 36C with accompanying jacuzzis, and thrilling slides suitable for all ages. Visitors can enjoy river rapids and periodic waves in the main pool.
The water was nice and warm. Enough rides but you'd kinda expect more (which they are building now).
We went on a Friday in June and it was a bit crowded considering it was a regular weekday.
They serve fast food, accessible from inside the pool.
It's good fun for kids but I was a bit scared with some of the rides as an adult 😔

Fun for kids, a couple of slides, sometimes a tad busy with wait times for some attractions. A bit limited in scope for adults. Still quite a nice outing. Booking online in advance is cheaper.
Corentin De Radigues — Google review
Overall a good experience as the park has plenty of different pools & zones for kids and adults to enjoy.
However, it is crowded even on a weekday. Lots of slippery surfaces everywhere making it super easy to fall (a poor choice of floor material for a water park). No picnic areas at all, and the only restaurant has a poor price/quality/portion size ratio!
Nino Vakhtangishvili — Google review
The new waterslides really improved the watermark I knew and loved. Because of the new slides, there are less waiting times overall and the new slides also have interesting mechanics, such as sitting on a board or getting to race people. The food has also majorly increased in quality over the last few years. Of course the price on the food is expensive, but that is the case in most watermarks. The only issue I had was, that the water and temperature was colder than usual, but that was my experience. Over all, great and fun place to visit.

We had a great time here. Easter holidays but we went after 14.00 and it wasn't too busy. I am glad we went since the new rides have opened because they were really good. Our only criticism was there just doesn't seem to be enough inflatables to meet demand for the new rides yet. Also it all felt very safe the staff ensured that people stuck to the rules and were all very friendly. Lockers open and lock with your entry band so are included in the ticket price.

Better than I remembered from 20 years ago... However - even with the renovations, it does feel a little outdated and it is quite smaller... Perfect as an addition to a day in Walibi... Not for a whole day in Aqualibi (as a parent anyhow)

We are not advocating that people in wheelchairs get anything for free (possibly their escort, helper), however when something is not adapted for them then it makes sense. Of all the pool complexes where we have been, this one is the worst for people with disabilities, however, it was the only one where we had to pay the full price for both me in a wheelchair and for an escort. Also, instead of a normal concrete ramp, they made this horrible non-functional elevator (which is completely inconsistent with the principles of universal design) that makes a person in a wheelchair have to wait ten minutes in the rain until someone comes with a key and makes it work.

This is our first visit since the new slides have been added. They are clearly now charging customers a lot for the new additions. 70 euros for me and my 10 year old plus the parking is additional. The new slides are fun but the idea that people should carry the floating devices to the top seems crazy. The place does seem to offer a better experience overall but 82 euros is expensive so this may be an annual visit rather than the usual 3-4 times a year.

Aqualibi Water Theme Park: A Splashing Good Time for All
I recently had an incredible experience at Aqualibi water theme park in Belgium, and it exceeded all expectations. Located within the Walibi amusement park complex, Aqualibi offers a thrilling array of water activities and attractions that cater to all ages.
One of the standout features of Aqualibi is the diverse range of water activities available. From thrilling water slides to relaxing lazy rivers and interactive splash zones, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. During my visit, I had a blast racing down exhilarating slides like the Flash and the Rapido, which provided an adrenaline-pumping experience. The variety of slides ensured there was always a new adventure to try.
The wave pool at Aqualibi was another favorite attraction. The waves were incredibly realistic and added to the excitement of the water park. It was a fantastic feeling to swim and play in the waves, as if I were at the beach.
In addition to the thrilling rides, Aqualibi offers plenty of options for relaxation and rejuvenation. The Jacuzzi and relaxation areas provided a tranquil escape, allowing me to unwind between activities and enjoy some downtime.
One of the great advantages of visiting Aqualibi is its convenient accessibility. The water park is well-connected by train from Brussels, making it easily accessible for visitors relying on public transportation. Additionally, Aqualibi offers ample parking space for those arriving by car, ensuring a hassle-free experience from start to finish.
The overall atmosphere at Aqualibi was lively and welcoming, with upbeat music playing throughout the park. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that safety measures were in place and that guests had a positive experience.
Another notable highlight of Aqualibi is the availability of amenities and dining options within the water park. There are several spots to grab a quick bite or a refreshing drink, allowing guests to refuel and continue enjoying the day.
Overall, my visit to Aqualibi was filled with fun and excitement. The combination of thrilling water activities, convenient accessibility, and friendly atmosphere made it a memorable experience for me and my companions. Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, Aqualibi promises a splashing good time for all. I highly recommend visiting this water theme park for an unforgettable aquatic adventure.

Very clean, lines lasted a bit long sometimes for the big rides, very child friendly with lots of kids space and kids water slides / water playground. The restaurant there even had a vegan burger that tasted pretty damn good to be honest.
The big rides weren’t scary either for those who are scared of these kinds of places.
I also like that their car park roof was made entirely out of solar panels.

Great new slides, all other slides/pools also still good fun.
Pleasantly surprised with the healthy options for food next to classic burgers and fried stuff.
Also music really well chosen, it's a very varied mix spanning a few decades and genres, but all suited to an indoor place with losts of noise already. So often these places make it worse with the music, here it actually improves the athmosphere a lot!

This review is not about a visit but about being treated as a customer.
I bought a 10 entrance pass more than a year ago and could not use it because they closed for a few months.
For 6 months now I am calling them, writing emails, filling in online forms - no reply!!!
They have robots on the phone, no human reached in 6 months!!!!

Literally, if you have a problem they kick you out of their customers list.

Lots of fun for the family, slides made to be thrilling but safe! We enjoyed the river rapids and the fact that you start from uphill. Spent some time in the main pool, which becomes a waves pool every now and again. Just before we left, we discovered the thermal baths and jacuzzi, which was very warm. Everything was clean and works, and there were lots of lifeguards visible, though I didn't get the impression they are as vigilant/attentive as some places I've been. Christmas lights are pleasing and add that extra sparkle.
Walibi Belgium is a seasonal amusement park located near Wavre, a city known for its historic castle and natural reserves. The park offers a mix of kids-only attractions, roller coasters, carousels, and an observation wheel. Easily accessible by train or car, the park has been entertaining visitors since 1975 and continues to introduce new thrill rides every few years.
We absolutely recommend Walibi in Belgium. The staff is super friendly. The family ambience is great.
Our favourite ride was Konda. Wow! Such thrills. We recommend to get speedy passes, specially the infinite one that you can once you are at the park.
LGBT+ couples like us feel at home. Really not a single person stared at us or seemed uncomfortable. 🏳️🌈

Despite occasional crowds and long waits, the park's diverse attractions and friendly atmosphere make it a top choice for families and thrill-seekers seeking a fun-filled day in Europe.

Super fun for everyone! It’s great to start the day with Aqualibi and then go to the main park! Walibi is full of attractions and everyone will find something for themselves!

Can’t wait for them to reopen in October 2021! :)

Very nice park,
The atmosphere is great there .
Some coasters are a bit old and should be replaced, however the newer attractions are so nicely done that I can look over the other ones.
It has something for everyone in there no matter how old you are.
The fast pass is very worth it, I can only recommend it on a crowded day.

Very fun, recommend buying tickets in advance, makes it easier. The rides are very nice. You can buy food and souvenirs there. There are also little games like a claw machine or trying to throw a ball in a bucket and more games similar to this. You must visit this attraction park at least once in your life. But make sure you download the app walibi Belgium, because it really helps out if you need a quick check which tides have the smallest wait time. The wait time can be big, it can vary around 0-50min, I suggest going to the shorter times first if you want to go on more rides. But I think the day matters, if there's a special occasion like Halloween, there will definitely be a lot of people. Although it's very nice on Halloween, spooky. So in summary, it's very nice, I recommend going.

We love this place when there are no public Holidays, otherwise it is not fun to visit because of the crowd and long cues.
What we love is that there is now a special place for kids starting 1 meter to be able to have some atractions (I think a total of 5 atractions, like the mini version of the Dalton) in a protected/ closed area.
The kids just love it, there is also an open outdoor playground on the other side of the park, that is huge for them to have fun.
For us it was more advantageous to buy a subscription, because we planned to go more than one time. You can than also buy a subscription that is much more intresting for the parking.
Perfect during summer holidays or no rainy days.
My kids love it (that started when 3 and 4, and now 4 and 5, stil loving it)

Very good parc, we enjoyed our Journey there, there is so much choice for the games, it was crowded in the middle of the journey and some times we spend too much time waiting our turn, that's why at last we prefered to choose the games according to the least waiting time and that's the reason why we enjoyed it, we didn't waste too much time...

A very nice park with a good variety of rides for all ages. We love the water park and the food options. Our only complaint is how early dining closes and the seemingly random hours. Season pass is worth the money.

Had a blast at this park. You don’t need more than a day though. The coasters are fun and it has a great atmosphere.
We were treated very badly by 1 employee though. Spent over half an hour at guest service but they spoke no english or dutch (only french) which made it very annoying to file a complaint.
But besides that, we had a good day. Werewolf and kondaa were my favourite coasters. All the others are fun to do as well. Would definitely recommend a visit!

Adequate security measures. Attractions were in optimal conditions. There is sufficient public space for rest and freshen up. Clean restrooms easy to find. Attractions for small children (0.90 meters) are week spread all over the park.
While there is an interesting online app, I was under the impression that it is not so precise. Hence, one suggestion would be to check the map. It is not necessarily user friendly.

My children and I love Walibi. We don't live too far away so visit regularly, occasionally it can be a little bit too busy, but generally we find the queue times reasonable. The park over the years is always being constantly improved. Always very clean and plenty of toilets.
Some brilliant rides, my kids love the kondaa and my favourite is the pulsar.
My children will have some great childhood memories from Walibi!

I came for Kondaa from germany. 40 - 60 mins waiting times and only one train in operation!
This ride can double the capacity but their answer to the question why they didnt do it: not enough people.
So how much waiting time does this park want? 1:30??
The stuff operated great! Fast, super friendly but i dont get why this park wants people to spend their whole visit in the rain at 6 degrees standing in the line.
Its one of the best parks in europe and one of the greatest roller coasters too. But the decision how stuff is run ruins the whole experience.

The best amusement park in Belgium and one of the best in Europe. Not the first time there for me and my family, but we have seen this time the Halloween arrangements and they are really impressive.
Cezar Neculae — Google review
This was a great park! It is good for the whole family, but the roller coasters are better for older kids. Vampire, Weerwolf, and Cobra are pretty painful, so avoid these if you don’t want a headache. Kondaa is a MUST do. We unfortunately had to buy speedy passes for 50€ each because we wanted to make sure we rode everything. The speedy passes really slow down the normal lines which is annoying if you don’t buy them. Overall, this park is great for all ages, but if you have small kids, there are better parks that have more kid rides and kid coasters.

Lovely place. We enjoyed a lot. Some improvements may be implemented: it closes early, no coffee choices and only coffee served inside the buffets is not a good one either. Too much smoking around. And the waiting times were too long. Looking forward to visit again.

The attractions were truly remarkable ! However, we encountered an issue with a staff member at the boat attraction. Thankfully, a manager promptly intervened, resolved the problem, and even generously provided our entire family with speed line tickets (which we greatly appreciated). Nonetheless, certain parts of the park appear to require maintenance.
Another thing ,make sure that the QR code (photos) are working, we didn't get ours, they have an issue in there website ( it's been 3 days nothing yet.
P.S : Attraction lines can become quite length.

The museum offers an extensive and engaging display that celebrates the life and talents of the multitalented cartoonist. The exhibition features numerous models, photographs and source materials used by Herge to ensure accuracy in his sketches. Visitors can avail themselves of an entertaining audioguide during their visit.
Every Tintin fan must visit this museum. The museum was beautiful and very modern. Fairly priced at 12 euro per adult. I was surprised to find so many original drawings of Herge in the exhibition. It was very interesting to learn the background of Herge and see the development of the characters and the tools used! There was not a lot of people here when we the museum opened. It was easy to find, but a bit far out of Brussels, which was where we stayed. But I think the museum was worth the train ride and the fare.

A wonderful purpose built museum for the work of Herge who spent his life elevating the work of ‘comic’ books quite an achievement. The structure is staggering and the work is so well displayed. Well worth a trip out to see it. The cinema section shows the movies that inspired his drawings from King Kong to the Marc’s brothers. Give yourself time to get around everything.

Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the visit. The overall experience was very very ordinary and uninteractive, actually it didn't meet my expectations. The visit is included in the musuempass so that is the only good part of it. The footfall was also very less on the day when I went there.

Very great museum. Every Tintin fan will love it, and every non-fan too. The museum is relatively large and has three floors which are accessible via an elevator and stairs. The contents are fantastic. It introduces Hergé himself, his works and of course there is a lot specifically about Tintin, one of his most famous comic series. The museum is really interestingly designed and there is a lot of media and film material. In addition, you can delve deeper and more intensively into the story with an audio guide. All important languages are supported in the app. The Tintin works were very diverse. Many drawings, original works and notes and templates for ideas are on display here. Also models from the comics. The restaurant is very good and lovingly designed. The Hergé shop is diverse and there is something for everyone. Highly recommended. We were there as a family.

This is a must for any Tintin fan.
The museum contains the life of Hergé which of course includes Tintin. The museum is well laid out, has hundreds of original examples of Hergé's work in different formats and many models and displays of Tintin.
There is a free downloadable audio guide which walks you through the 8 rooms available. It provides videos and images as well as voice and is a must when visiting.
The museum also contains lockers so you don't need to carry your bags, clean toilets, a restaurant and a shop with a whole host of different items.
Travelling from Brussels is easy as you can get on the train to Lovain-la-Neuve and the museum is a few minutes walk away from the station (well sign posted).

Magnifico museo que recrea la historia del creador de las "Aventuras de Tintín". Aparte del valor ilustrativo del material expuesto, hay que destacar el edificio que lo contiene, una vistosa obra arquitectónica, que llama la atención por su volumetría asimétrica, con cierto desorden en los cuerpos que componen el edificio, que permite un recorrido mediante pasarelas que unen las distintas salas.

Magnificent museum that recreates the story of the creator of the "Adventures of Tintin". Apart from the illustrative value of the exposed material, we must highlight the building that contains it, a showy architectural work that draws attention for its asymmetrical volumetry, with a certain disorder in the bodies that make up the building, which allows a walk through walkways that connect the different rooms.

Great looking museum with nice architecture, young and friendly staff and yummy + reasonably priced cafe. Special thanks and praise to the welcoming young staff at the cafe who didn’t turned us away when we tried to order at 5:30pm. They made our milkshake and yummy crepe very quickly and made our day and our experience at the museum great! Thank you! Museum closed at 6pm on n Sunday. It gives us sufficient time to tour around even we can only arrive at 3pm.

I can’t recommend this museum highly enough. What an amazing experience. Carefully and meticulously thought through and arranged, it fulfils every expectation. It’s superb and a must for any Hergé, Tintin fan. It was very easy to get to from Brussels to. One train, very short walk (5 minutes) from the station. A wonderful place giving you all the warm and fuzzy feels you could imagine!

Had the most wonderful time here! The museum is excellent and there's a free audio guide app that was clever, informational, and easy to navigate. I spent probably 3-4 hours here but most people would probably take about an hour and a half. Great if you love Tintin, great if you love Hergé's other works too. Well designed and so interesting! You can see original inks, plates, gouache art, memorabilia, and photographs.

This is my 2nd visit to Brussels and I had made the trip specifically to visit the Herge museum. We stayed near Brussels-Midi and it took us around an hour by train to go there. Since it was a Sunday, we bought the family ticket for my sister and myself - it cost us 12 euros for a round trip. The stop is Louvain-La-Neuve-Univ. You get out of the two track railway station and walk right up, go straight through a square, and you can actually see the museum in the distance.
Right at the entrance you can see Tintin and Captain Haddock on the glass door, and you go from zero to a happy place immediately. The staff is very helpful. The entrance fee of 12 euros included a free audio guide. Photography is not allowed. But there is an interactive photo room/machine where you can click these awesome pictures with Tintin and the rest of his crew. :)
Make it a point to go through all the rooms - they are arranged chronologically starting with Herge's birth and family - the way his art matured, and the final few rooms dedicated to Tintin exclusively. There is one particular chandelier-like structure made with all the 220 (??) characters that appeared in Tintin. And then there is this round room which is filled with all the Tintin titles from top to bottom - you have to experience it to believe it!!
The museum is wheelchair accessible and the day I visited, I actually saw a mother daughter duo of 76-94 enjoying the tour just as much as the rest of us did. Age is absolutely no bar.

The museum offers a wonderful experience for any Tintin fan, and there is extensive information about Hergé's life and the historical context of his work as well. There is a multilingual audio guide app that you can download, and it really enhances your experience. I got the ticket for €7 with a student discount, and there are lockers to leave your jacket or bag as well.

Open on Sunday for those who want to visit a brewery when all others are closed! I have been there twice already. They have good beer and also wide selection of strong drinks like whiskey, rum and gin. The tour on Sunday is at 15.00, I have taken the tour a few years ago and unfortunately it was only in Dutch, but the tour guide was really amiable and translated in English some parts. Maybe they have English tours now, but we did not ask. As we could not stay for so long we just enjoyed their nice chalet style restaurant. We took tapas to share and a crazy choco drink for dessert. Obviously we tried the beer. Tripel Kannunik is really GOOD.

Wonderful indoor and outdoor seating. Beers are award winning and aptly so. Good range of beers available, and at less than $4 (Euro 3.60), which is unbelievable. Outdoor play area for children. Easy bus ride, if you're traveling by train to nearby towns.

Park yourself at the tennis club in the back and be amazed by this big brewery.
It has a huge terrace which is always full when good weather, simply because this place is just amazing.
The staff is really friendly, even though they have to serve so much beer greedy people and run 10km in a day.
Brouwerij Wilderen is brewing beer, whiskey and gin. The blond beers, Wilderen Goud and Kannunik are very tasty. There is also a smalls shop where you can buy all different alcohol at democratic prices.
Did not order food here, but looks like they serve good tapas.
Definitely a hotspot to enjoy the good weather!

A perfect place to go. If you find your self near the city you must definetely visit this Brewery and find out some more about not only how a fine beer or spirit is made of but also the history of the place. Afterwards you can enjoy its fine beers at a very pleasant environment.
Striking artwork built of steel in 2011, a popular photo spot resembling a see-through church.
A wonderful idea to have this piece of art made of steel plates in this area. Close to the town of Borgloon and in a very quiet spot with rolling hills around you and the cows grazing
Inside or out this "Look through" church you can have intriguing views
The area is also good for nature walks

Commuting to this place is bit difficult if you take public transport from Brussels. It takes about 2.5 to 3 hours to reach this place. And last bus back to Brussels is at 18:46 which you can't miss 😅. Don't forget to carry water bottle and some eatables.

Exceptional structure, still can’t figure out how it was created. Completely out of the box, very creative ♥️. Love the peaceful surroundings.
The Citadelle is a hill in the city of Liege, Belgium that overlooks the town and the surrounding countryside. The views from the citadel are particularly impressive during sunrise and sunset.
Incontournable à Liège.
Highly recommended to visitors, photographers and locals who want a contrasting area, so near from the city but giving a really different feeling.
The area is wider than the google maps pin point 📍

This hilly area of the Citadel of Liege is hard work to get to, but you'll be rewarded with excellent views of the city below. The views from the top of Montagne de Bueren
are excellent, but if you go further along to Belvédère Liège, the views are even clearer and better.
There isn't much to see of the citadel and it's mostly ruins. You can still walk around and see a lot of what remains as much of it is still standing. The area has paved walking paths and is a pleasant area for a stroll.

There are 4 way marked walking routes which are categorized and 3 star in Michelin guide! Our walk started at Degrés des dentellières (the street of Lacemakers who lived just beside the townhall, and of such importance was their art). A rather unsuspecting entrance on Rue Pierreuse leads to some stairs which lead to a brick building in ruins. Yes, that was a part of the citadel. A few more stairs from here leads to the Terraces!

Lovely view of the city and beautiful view of the river..
The Montagne de Bueren is a renowned landmark in Liege, Belgium. This notable structure consists of a lengthy stone staircase that ascends the hill at the center of the old town. It offers stunning panoramic views of the city, including its palaces and citadel slope. The climb up this steep flight of stairs may be daunting, but reaching the top is undoubtedly worthwhile. Postcards often feature this iconic sight, making it one of Liege's most famous attractions.
Many, many, many steps lead to fantastic views. You will see a bench at the top where you can enjoy the panoramic view of the entire city. If you continue to the right you can get even a slightly more improved version. Totally worth. And honestly, much easier than I expected. We didn’t even need to stop for breaks. And yes, many, many, many tourists even after dark. And it’s totally free!

Take some time to climb the 374 steps of these stairs going a monument and the Citadel on top. When it's warm in summer that can be a challenge but once on top you get a nice view over the city and the river below
The stairs were made between 1875 and 1880 to remember the 600 men from the small town of Franchimont who died during a surprise attack on the armies of Duke Charles the Bold and King Louis XI during the siege of Liège in 1468.

Carlo Pelganta — Google review
Fun and unusual place!! I'm reading mixed messages of the city here. Yea it's not really a beautiful city at the moment, while it has so much potential.
The infrastructure s*cks, the surrounding facilities and lack thereof show carelessness, and I hope the municipality gov will acknowledge the potential and go on a beautifying streak of all districts, not just the absolute centre!
Set an example for Wallonia. This can be done without too high costs. I think they're starting it at some places, just not enough to uplift the sense of faltering development, a heart without purpose.
The problem is the foundation and vision of the city, its relationship with traffic and concrete over nature and locals, and that has to be tackled, which is talk for another day...
The stairs structure however is really cool. Every city with hills should consider having similar ones, it's a place of fun, happiness, chitchat and reflection.
Clearly there's something magical about stairs going down and up to such an extent, you don't even have to believe in heaven. Everyone had smiles on their faces.

The stairs are one of the locations you have to visit in Liege not only for the physical activity of climbing them but also for the amazing reward you will get after reaching the top. After climbing , an outstanding view of the whole city opens and you can spend 10 minutes or more just admiring the beautiful city. A quick tip is to begin your journey with these stairs because after them , you will feel a little tired :) .

A nice workout walking up the stairs. Be sure to take breaks, turn around, and admire the view that gets better with each step. There are really neat doors to check out on the walk up. There’s a railing the entire length of the steps. The view from the top is good, but there are two even better viewpoints up by the WWI Memorial. Just take a right at the top of the steps and it’s only a couple extra minutes. We’ll worth it for the views of Liège.

What else is there to say other then: visit these stairs. Your condition and heart rate will be thankful of the exercise, you will be ashamed of your lack of training.
It really is a beautiful set of stairs, never thought I’d say those words but I can’t deny it. The view over Liège is nice, but I do think the steps are worth the visit in their own right.

The views from the top are pretty and worth the climb.
However, be mindful of the people that live there. Enjoy the experience and the city, but be also respectful with the people that lives there and that uses them as their daily path to go back home, to go to work...

Montagne de Bueren has a ton of stairs 😣, but it was an incredible adventure climbing them and getting to the top (just to realize there's another monument and more stairs further up, lol). Not going to lie, there were a few moments in which I was winded. The views are great and there are so many people taking the climb on! At the top, there was a sweet cat visiting everyone who had made it.

If you are fit then take these stairs around 374 to reach on top to see the view, there is just one bench on the top to rest.

The tourist attraction Fort Sint Pieter Maastricht Underground is a fascinating sight, as the caves there are made of limestone and were once a mining site. The tunnels and caves are a result of this mining, along with the settlement itself which is very cool with a fun tour that ends with an amazing view of the city. If you wish to leave the busyness of the city centre, this is definitely a tourist attraction you should visit.
The best tour guide with the nicest shoes ever! :)
Professional and knows a lot about the place both over and underground.

It is a captivating blend of history and nature. The fortress, steeped in rich history and guided by knowledgeable experts, offers an immersive experience for history enthusiasts. What truly sets this site apart are the intriguing underground caves and tunnels, revealing the fort's military secrets. I was enchanted by the cool, dimly lit passageways, which add a mysterious charm to the visit. Surrounded by panoramic views of rolling hills and the serene Maas River, this hidden gem provides a unique and unforgettable journey through time and natural beauty.

One of important historical landmark in Maastricht. It’s situated in the outskirts of the city, but accessible by walking or bus.
You can find this 19th century fort, situated on the top of the hill. Don’t worry, it’s just 125 metres from sea level, easy trek to reach the top.
Not sure about the entry inside the fort, but you can enjoy amazing view of the Maastricht city from the top of this hill.
Possibly there are guided tours to know about the fort, you can go with them to know more.
Plenty of parking spaces are available, if you are comfortable with car.
Highly recommended.👍

We bought a combo visit of the Fort and the caves. The guides, Marcel and Thom, made it a very interesting and entertaining experience. We enjoyed the tour and also learned a lot of things.
It's better to book in advance, so you can get to choose the hours. Also, bring an extra layer for the caves.

I love my experiences there with the lovely guide called Pauline. It was one of the best tours I have had so far. The tour, the guide, and the weather (on that day, not too hot or too cold) were perfect. I ended up knowing a lot more about the places and definitely will visit again because there are still more places underground that we didn't cover this time. Pauline suggested visiting again during the weekend to explore another area underground.
When you buy the ticket, you can choose either the fort or the cave. I recommend you do both. I think they are worth exploring.
Risa Siriwat — Google review
Absolute must thing to do in Maastricht. The fort and the caves can be visited through the tours only (I think) and it is better to book in advance just to be sure. The tour would take you inside the fort from ground level to the top and explain the history of it. it was fascinating and last about an hour, the tickets for the tour and cave can be bought together. There is plenty of car parking available here but the best way is by the bike even though it is slight uphill, bike parking is where the restaurant is. Arriva bike is also available here. There is also a mini-golf.

Vrijthof is an expansive square featuring a focal point for musical performances, as well as a water feature at its center. This public space is enveloped by eateries, exhibitions, and houses of worship, making it a hub for community gatherings and cultural activities. The plaza's openness and ample seating areas also make it an ideal spot for relaxation or people watching in the heart of the city.
The Bookstore Domincanen is a beautiful 13th century Dominican church that houses an indie bookstore selling diverse Dutch and English titles. The store is stunning, with sweeping arches and high ceilings, and attracts tourists from all over the world.
It's an amazing library inside an old church. The prices of books are standard and there is also a coffee area where to enjoy a reading. Most of the books are Dutch. However, you'll find some sections in different languages such as English, Spanish, French, German, etc. The place is worth a visit

Very beautiful book shop that is worth visiting. The book store fits very well in the old church and this way the architecture of the church can be appreciated.

Not only does it represent the European mindset of reuse and repurpose, but the look and feel of this church turned bookstore was legendary!

Great bookstore. Friendly personnel. Gorgeous location. Easily spent three hours browsing the many books. The first floor is mainly Dutch books, stationary, etc. Along with a nice coffee spot. The second floor is mainly English books, and graphic novels. The third floor is second-hand books. This bookstore alone is reason enough to visit Maastricht.

I love the atmosphere of the bookstore! It is unique, impressive, and an interesting idea, to turn the old church into a bookstore. There are even some English books. If you happen to be in Maastricht, this is a definitely a spot that you shouldn’t miss— “A bookstore made in heaven”!

Location of this book store is fantastic! There are enough books, however (only in my opinion) choice of English books is not that big. They have all the trend books for sure! And again, the bookstore itself is gorgeous!

Visually it is a very nice store. Very iconic location, but it's not the best 'book'store. But that might be a personal thing, I like my bookstores to sell books and little else. This store however is more all round and sells records, CDs and smaller items like mugs, calenders and notebooks. Certainly book related items but it might have had an impact as the bookselection felt a little limited, though that might also be a space thing. Despite the large square footage at its core its a fairly small store. As a bonus though, there was also a selection of second hand books.

Awesome place, I love it. It is very atmospheric and old, I liked their collection of book and souvenirs and second hand books on the second floor.

Absolutely stunning location for a bookstore. If I had lived in Maastricht, you would find me here every day. There is a wide collection of Dutch books and a generous mix of English ones. There are also nice little presents and card games. The cafe at the back is seemingly cosy, but I did not try it.

A bookstore in a beautiful church which is cool. The books are not organised neatly and kinda messy. Worth a visit though.

One of the most beautiful church/bookshop that I have been to. Even if you are neither into books or churches, this place is a must visit as it is none of those but something really different. What an amazing experience.
The market is always full of people and is place of leisure. It was good to walk around there

Les Grottes de Remouchamps, located in Aywaille, is a subterranean cave complex with historical significance and home to bats. Visitors can take a guided tour through the caves by boat, marveling at the incredible limestone formations and navigating the underground network. It's important to be prepared for dirty and slippery conditions, as well as muddy water puddles. The clever use of lighting enhances the experience, and multilingual guides provide insights into the cave's history.
true splendor of the stalactite caves of Remouchamps, unique artwork. 365 days a year the temperature is 8 to 10 degrees Celsius. Dont forget to take your jacket.

The cave in itself is stunning and is really a sight to behold. Definitely worth a tour, which end with a short trip on a boat to carry you back you the entrance.
Be sure to have some warm clothes with you as it gets chilly down there.

this is a natural gem. the subterranean caves were amazing and was self guided . the descriptions were in french and dutch but at the admissions booth you can get the information in other languages. the way out was by a boat ride along the underground river. the boat guide was very informative and explained the features you saw in english dutch and french. i would recommend bringing a sweatshirt (even if it’s a hot day out).

This is amazing place! There is the longest underground river in Europe - Rubikon. The gallery's are very beautiful! It's really good experience to visit the cave! The guy who ran the boat was kind, friendly and very attentive. He spoke English, French and Dutch. He showed us places of interest and told us about the cave during the trip.

Well worth a visit. It was much bigger and deeper then I expected! It all flooded a couple of weeks ago. One part was still closed off, I’m not sure how much of the total area but it definitely didn’t feel like we missed out there was so much to see. We took about an hour to walk the winding path up, then down, then up again. The boat trip was brilliant. Our 8 and 7 year olds loved it. One tip: wear shoes that you are happy to get muddy!

Highly recommended ! One of the most beautiful stalactite cave and the longest underground in the world. The boat ride is very enjoyable too. Must watch out your head because it's narrow and low.
Ani — Google review
I visited the caves recently and I must say, it was one of the best experiences for me. As someone who admires the beauty of nature, here are some points why I recommend this-
1. Natural structures formed by a reaction of groundwater & limestone, which have been forming over 700,000 years.
2. You will be in awe to see some fossils of unicellular organisms which inhabited Europe around 360 million years ago.
3. At the end of the first part of your walking tour, you have a guided boat tour along the longest underground river in Europe. Part of this route was formed by exploding dynamites in 1912.
Apart from the caves themselves, the people here were some of the best in the service industry. The guide on our boat was a jolly young man who explained the history in French, Dutch and English. We were also given a separate printed information sheet in English because the info boards inside the caves were only in French and Dutch. The head person was so kind that he walked down the road with us to show an amazing camping ground on a map which he drew by hand himself.
A few extra things good to know-
1. The temperature of the cave is around 11-12 degrees throughout the year. So you might want to dress appropriately.
2. At some places it is a bit slippery and drops of water fall from the ceiling.
3. The total visit takes around 1-1.5 hours depending on how much time you spend admiring the caves.

Best cave experience I've had. Not overly touristic, intimate (you get to walk the first km on your own) and the boat tour is great.
Aurora Signorazzi — Google review
Beautiful cave system with underwater river. The tour begins with a walk through the caves to an underground harbour, and a small steep passage beyond if you're up for it. After that it's a ~1km boat ride on the underground river back to the entrance. It's not a cheap attraction but definitely a cool experience.
Noud Frenken — Google review
Unbelievable experience worth every single penny. It's the longest underground floating cave in Europe and highly recommended on a sunny day, as it's constantly below twelve degrees centigrade down there. Don't forget to tip the great guides on the boat.

Very beautiful cave and a good excursion you can do with children. You walk about 1 kilometre into the cave, and for the return, you have to take a boat to go back to the entrance.
The boat trip was definitely an experience.
Manuel Deinat — Google review
This cave system is a hidden gem, that you cannot miss.
I visited without reservations (so I arrived early to secure my spot), as the website was not functioning properly. If you’re proficient in French or Dutch, you can call to make a reservation. Either way I’d recommend booking beforehand.
I paid for my ticket with cash, although card payment is also available. If you choose to pay with card or cash, make sure to set aside 5-10 euros for tipping the boat tour guide; their work is quite strenuous as they have to row all the way back from the end of the cave to the entrance. Also don’t expect all of them to speak English.
Please note that this visit is not wheelchair-friendly or suitable for people with limited mobility. There are narrow passages, stairs, uneven terrain, and numerous steps to climb.
The entire tour can take up to 2 hours. I was the first to enter since I was the only English speaker, so I received instructions and explored on my own. Others in the group received instructions later, likely grouped by language. When I reached the end of the cave, I waited for about 10-15 minutes for the tour guides to arrive on their boats and lead us out of the cave.
The interior is not very dark, but some areas can be a bit slippery, so wear appropriate footwear. The temperature inside stays around 10-15 degrees Celsius (50-59°F) year-round.
The entire tour comprises 12-13 stops with descriptions in Dutch, French, and German. If you speak other languages like Spanish or English, you’ll receive a printed paper at the entrance, but it contains only a limited amount of information compared to the signs inside. This is an area where they could improve.
The cave is truly remarkable and unique, and I couldn’t recommend the visit more. If you’re in the area, make sure to stop by! Don’t miss it. 😉
Lucas Kovács — Google review
It was an amazing experience. We initially book a ticket to initiate the cave tour at 16:00, therefore we arrived in the village much earlier and kindly requested to swap out the tickets, without any bother the man at the help desk promptly swapped it out. He also asks which country we came from in case we would not speak either dutch or french, then he has the explanation paper in our mother tongues.
The tour takes about 1,300 meter walk in the cave, with some paces very spaced out but others are narrow and you have to mind your head. After the walk you come to the end of the cave and there is a boat tour back to the entrance, on the lower part of the cave. The boat man would speak English, french and Dutch, which was amazing to understand his explanation.It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it.
Well done for the entire team!
Dario Modena — Google review
Be aware that your clothes will get dirty. Floor and stairs/steps are slippery, and there are muddy water puddles. Wear decent shoes.
Nice cave system where they used lightning in a clever way.
At the end, there's a small boat tour back. The benches in the boats are wet.
We made sure to be the last ones of the group. Children in the party were loud. That gives a nasty echo when they scream.
The employees speak multiple languages and will tell you something about the history of the caves.
At the entrance/exit are toilets and a small shop.
There are plenty of restaurants nearby.
Parking on the streets nearby.
Located in the picturesque town of Spa, Thermes de Spa offers a blend of modern wellness and traditional hydrotherapy. The thermal bath complex provides indoor and outdoor swimming areas, steam rooms, and massages with a stunning view of the city. Visitors can follow in the footsteps of centuries-old guests to experience the reputed benefits of the spring waters, such as improved circulation, metabolism, and skin health. The facility also features saunas, hammams, and various beauty treatments utilizing the local spring water.
Struck by the negative reviews. We had a wonderful full day in the Thermes and it was not enough. The outside pool is wonderful, multiple relaxation areas, hot jacuzzi baths. The treatments were lovely and very relaxing. We also had lunch at the Institut upstairs, it was light and very high quality products.
Anna — Google review
Add a bit more zen to the commercial aspect with regards to the treatments à l’Institut. Now very much a factory approach…in and out. However, giving people 5 minutes to wind down after treatment, an explanation of how to improve skincare, and why products are recommended, would already make a difference. Even the receptionist - where the products can be bought - doesn’t explain the why, what and how of what was written down on that paper we were given (in fact, she was quite rude). In short, customer experience to be improved à l’Institut. On the other hand, the ladies downstairs at the entrance are amazing!

Unfortunately this is not a spa or sauna. This is one large beautiful swimming pool with two saunas, or rather, one sauna and one hammam and that’s it.
Here everyone wears clothes. I can't imagine anyone wearing swim trunks to a spa.

Totally disappointed with Thermes de Spa!
I had in mind it's a health resort, it turns out to be just a place with a fancy big pool included 2 jacuzzis in it (I must say; the design of this big pool is quite nice and impressive!) Then an open relax area with some lamps on top of the chairs (The floor was wet and slippery and so noisy from the big pool plus some swiches for the lamps were not even working). A huge wet changing room and a restaurant.
As luckily we also booked the body massage. We got a better service which we could exclusively using a private lift to go to the 2nd floor, where you could have a quiet pleasant restaurant for lunch. Much better changing room with shower facilities and a 100% quiet relaxing room where I got a relaxing day by spending most of the time there in between the sauna and hammam. Actually one could get all these facilities and services in many exclusive gym too! No need to come all the way here!
So because we paid extra for the body massage. We could get the better hospitality out of the facilities. But the worst part was the body massage that I was looking forwards to so much was a disaster!
In my life I had so many body massages in many different countries. In my experience this must be the worst one. Sorry it was not a massage! All I could describe was like someone kept APPLYING some oil all over your body! There were no rubbing
or don't even mention massaging. Isn't body massage means massage from neck to toes? This is the first time I had a body massage was from neck to ankle. She never did my feet? I wonder how could Thermes de Spa could send an apprentice instead of a qualified massagist to their customers??
The 1 point I gave here was for my lunch. Very good choices and fair price for the buffet lunch.

Large pool including outdoor section was fine, but crowded and felt like a normal swimming pool. No hotter or colder pools. Sauna and hammam were fine but you have a cold walk up the stairs and across a hall, which is not really acceptable. People were slipping on the floor as sandals were not allowed. Too expensive.
Thomas Bell — Google review
Reasonable! The prices are okay, if you're really into a day of spa you'd probably go somewhere more secluded. However, it has mas o menos everything you might need. The nude section was really calm which was a big added value as you felt more at peace here.

Mixed review!
Need to pay for towels (€4) which are thin and small. These get wet in the sauna and there is no swap service available to get a dry towel.
No drink water supply anywhere so had to pay for bottled water and no hammam, it’s just a steam room and a shower with soap.
But facilities and pool are nice. Didn’t see a thermal, just swimming pools.
Caroline — Google review
Too expensive (30 € for 3 hours). After all, this is just a public swimming pool with Sauna and Hammam. Not exactly a wellness oasis. Didn't see any pools with thermal water. Bit dated (got a late 90s vibe) and not much decorations. Staff is very friendly tho and it is reasonably clean.
In Germany, you'd pay around 20 € for similar public Spas.
Sebastian H — Google review
It was a nice spa and we had a relaxing time, but be aware that if you book 3 hours you have to actually be at the check out at exactly 3 hours after checking in, otherwise you have to pay extra before being able to leave. We were in a session that started half an hour before we had to leave and the person guiding it told us we would be fine and have some extra time, when we told the persons at reception they said their colleague in the spa should not have told us that as it wasn't his right to do so in a quite unfriendly manner. A bit sad to end the experience with this.

Found a bit poor in terms of variety. Just 2 saunas, one big pool, and a couple of jacuzzi which are always busy. Resting area was good.
I wouldn't say it was bad experience in general, but traveling just for Termes is not worth it.
Cafe is good, service was also fast and fine.
Nice view on city.

Lovely place to detach and relax. The space has lockers, showers, 2 pools (indoor and outdoor), massage section, sauna and jacuzzi (naturalist and non-naturalist). Fav section was the outdoor pool with a very nice nature scenery. Everything is clean, people tend to wear their flipflops in the shower area which is not allowed but this is what makes some of these sections swamped but other than that, super clean. Not crazy crowded, very nice calm time, even an affordable food place (sandwiches between 8-9euros, drinks 4 -5, salads 13, desserts 7). An entire day is 41 euros, opens from 10 to 21hr. Would go again for a relaxing visit!

The thermes are underwhelming. There is only one sauna and one strange-smelling steam room (with bathing suit), 2 jacuzzis and one big indoor and outdoor pool of which the temperature may be slightly increased. Generally not very clean. There is no shampoo. Weekend days only 3h (changing included), which is too short to be able to fully relax and take time to read a book. Overall weird experience. Would not come back.

A great place to spend your time pampering yourself, wlone or accompanied. They just need to be a bit flexible in replacing soak towels, especially to VIPs who've paid super high service cost.
And for you naturalists, you can go naked too in the all in a safe spot even though perfs and rule breakers are all around, but hey, it's not right but it's OK!

It's basically a big public mineral pool ($25 for 3 hours, per person). There are some jets and water features, but basically just a pool. If you are in Spa and have time to kill, might as well check it off your list...but don't go out of your way to see it. Honestly, it's weird. I wouldn't go again.

Don't be fooled! They ask you to arrive early and tell you you have 3 hours from your booked time. At checkout they claim you scanned your bracelet at an earlier time and charge you late exit fee. Your 3 hours start from when you scan your bracelet entering the facilities. Other than the stress leaving, trying to pay at a machine that doesn't work was a nice experience. Friendly staff (except at checkout), the facilities could have been more fresh. It does feel somewhat dated. Some old lime crust visible here and there. They offer two relaxation areas - naturist and clothed - the naturist area is much nicer almost to the point it feels like they were forced to add the clothed area and this was an inconvenience to the staff. Would give 4 stars if it felt more fresh and they made an effort to have a relaxing exit.

Lovely plan to chill out a bit. For weekends you can reserve only for 3 hours and for weekdays you have the option to be there the whole day. Ticket for 3 hours is about 34€ and if you are student you would pay only 27€. For the whole day usage it is about 40€. Then don't forget to take your towel woth you, ows you need to rent it there for 3€. The best part I would is the pool outside where you can enjoy the fresh air together with the warm water and it's an amazing feeling!

I was thinking that this spa located in Spa would deserve our visit, driving from Brussels.
The answer was no. The pools are decent, but nothing extraordinary. Dry sauna was just acceptable, wet sauna was a joke (not the required temperature). Not really clean or well maintained.
Management seems poor as they sell tickets for only 3 hours and since you already don't have much to do at least you would like to relax for longer in the pool.
For anybody looking for a really good spa in Europe, go East - Hungary is unbeatable.

Basic amusement park for kids featuring rides, go-karts, entertainment & casual eateries.
Wonderful place! We were here with 7 y.o. child, no queues, a lot of great attractions. We will come back. There is a cafe with warm food - soup, pasta, meat (The only gluten free food is French fries, so if you are on a diet, it is better to take food with you). In the park there is a train going to the mountains, where live wild animals, it was amazing trip! you can buy dried corn for 2.5 euros for animals. (I highly recommend buying it because at the top you can feed the animals right from the palm of your hand). The children and adults were delighted! The cost of the train as 11 euro per person.

Parking nicely laid out although chargeable but up to the price a bargain. Check the weather forecast and exactly for those places because the weather can surprise you.

Compact park where kids of 1-1.2m can do most activities if with an adult. Went during easter school holiday (workday), not too crowded. Maybe also due to weather being almost raining. Dated ticket is cheapest way. Street parking is possible, but is only EUR2 cheaper per day. Seems to also be "safari" ride, which we did not try. Plopsa de Panne is better in our view, but Coo is closer to where we live.

Remembering Pfc Steve H. Wontorcik fought in F Company, 16th Infantry Regiment, First Infantry Division ("The Big Red One") and was killed in the Battle of Aachen. On the night of 23 October 1944, positioned in his foxhole on the Eilendorf ridge two miles east of Aachen, he and all others in his battalion were subject to a heavy mortar and artillery barrage, followed by an enemy assault on their positions, leaving scores of Germans dead or mortally wounded. Tragically, this 21 year old young warrior from Michigan died that night on enemy soil.
His name is commemorated on the First Infantry Division monument in Henri-Chapelle, Belgium.
The Battle of Aachen was a major combat action of World War II, fought by American and German forces in and around Aachen, Germany, between 2–21 October 1944. The city had been incorporated into the Siegfried Line, the main defensive network on Germany's western border; the Allies had hoped to capture it quickly and advance into the industrialized Ruhr Basin. Although most of Aachen's civilian population was evacuated before the battle began, much of the city was destroyed and both sides suffered heavy losses. It was one of the largest urban battles fought by U.S. forces in World War II, and the first city on German soil to be captured by the Allies. The battle ended with a German surrender, but their tenacious defense significantly disrupted Allied plans for the advance into Germany.[3]

If you're looking to visit please either have a tour group ready to help you get there or rent a car. It's probably too far to walk and the small country road doesn't have a side walk.

The Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps is a renowned race track that hosts various motorsport events, including the F1 Grand Prix. Visitors can explore three museums within the 18th-century outbuildings, with one dedicated to the nearby circuit. Getting to the venue for events like the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix is made convenient with advice on transportation options such as trains, buses, and driving.
Fantastic race circuit in the middle of a forrest. It has lots of hight differences and therefore cool vantage points. The facilities around the track are great and lots of cool events are organized throughout the year. There is plenty of parking but the accessibility of the circuit during busy days like the F1 race days is quite poor.

Just spent the weekend at the F1. My third gp venue. No doubt the location and track is spectacular. The viewing from the stand silver, on the run down to Eu Rouge is superb. My only downside was the lack of roaming. Other tracks you can usually walk all the way round and sit in any stands on practice days ( as long as you have a weekend ticket in a stand) but not here so it’s hard to see the cars in other parts of the track. Facilities generally very good and good choice of food and refreshments if a bit pricey, but not out of line with other similar events.

A beautiful green space.

SPA is indeed one of the best tracks worldwide. Contrary to the F1 event, during other events like WEC, the ticket is much more affordable and it allows the spectators to move around the circuit, plus it is "free sitting" at the stands. As such the funs are able to enjoy the action at all corners, as well as the magnificent nature of the area!!!
...not to miss that walking is best exercise 😄!
Naturally during the F1 eventvthe area is crowded, so patience is prerequisite.

Nice to see. The guide took us all the way through the establishment to have the full experience.
We want to the training center where fire officers are learning the fastest way to pull the drivers out of the burning cars. Visited also press area, commentary booths and the race director area.
Unfortunately, some major renovation going on, so no actions on the track.

like always a classic track and really fun. we went to the Spa 24h. but one problem is the walking time you use up alot of time walking and was not any maps or anything like that, but otherwise good

Sat in Gold 8 and had a fantastic view of all the racing. The roof could be extended a bit to keep those in the front few rows a bit drier. Fan Zone was near impossible to get into. Not as good as Silverstone for the overall experience but really enjoyed being at an iconic circuit.

Bring shoes to rain and mud, and don't forget a raincoat. This forest-like environment is really for outdoor clothes. Nice when it's not constantly raining. I went to F1 race with my boyfriend, we counted with some rain, but not with constant raining. If you go for Bronze area, you don't have a dry place to sit or stand on, as most of Bronze area is grass.
I likes how many toilets were around, there was no problem with that. Not sure if this is F1 specialty, but all stands have some coin system and you need to change Eur to this coins to pay with per-charged coin card later on. Most of stands are fast-food stands and there were big lines everywhere so I still recommend to bring your won food with you.
What I liked about the areal was that it's possible to walk through the forest freely.

I can't rate this place, it's too good for words.
I did a two day motorcycling track experience during August at this wonderful circuit and it was unforgettable. The location, the circuit and the facilities all make for a great memory.
If you only do one track day on a motorcycle, make sure you do it here.

I went to Spa for the weekend watching the WEC 6 hours of Spa. This was my first live motorsport event ever and it was so cool and overwhelming! On race day, the track was packed so we had to walk from a little further away to the track and we were stuck in traffic, so I‘d recommend you to go early on race days.
The view from not only the grand stands, but basically anywhere you could go were amazing. They have a lot of food stands around the track, as well as toilets (which were clean). The people working around the track were very friendly too.
It was just a great weekend overall! The tickets were definitely not expensive for what we were offered: all practice sessions, qualifying and race of WEC including Porsche Cup Benelux + Germany, and also a pit walk with autograph session on Friday and Saturday.
Would recommend it to everyone!

I love this racetrack. I have been to formula 1 in many countries and this is by far the best race track. Great grandstands and good views even if you only buy a standing ticket.
Very beautiful area with good racing. I have been 7 times at this track for different race classes and it is always fin days. The only disadvantage is it often rain.

We went here hoping we could walk along the track like some (recent) reviews mentioned. Unfortunately we were not so lucky, the track was closed off. We did walk into the garden of Claire Maison, right next to the track entrance, even tho this probably wasn't allowed. From here we made this picture. It was nice to see some of the track at least!

Absolutely fantastic experience here overall during the formula one Belgian grand Prix. This circuit is amazing even in the rain it's fantastic. So many places to get food. So many things to do in the fan zone. You can go karting as well! This circuit is very unique because you can walk around the whole track to catch the race from various different view points. One thing I will warn is if rain is in the forecast bring a four wheel drive car. Parking in the yellow area gets very muddy. We got stuck and required the help of strangers to push us out. We weren't the only ones. Hundreds of people were stuck in the muddy parking lots. It was a mess. Regardless seeing a formula one race was one of my greatest experiences.
Severly disappointed. Booked for my 46th Birthday (yesterday). After an early miscarriage due to an accident i wasn't able to with my husband and young daughter. All we wanted was a change in Date. C & O Travel wants to force us to buy new tickets. I am with Lufthansa Germany and they were AMAZING.
Everything is possible, If you value people over Money.

(Translated by Google) Reception at reception was good. Unfortunately not recommended. Asked twice for extra pillows. We would get that. Did not get. The rooms are very warm. Open the window wide to let it cool down a bit. According to the reception, this is because the rooms next door set the heating so high. And that while it was only 9 degrees outside. Let alone in the summer, when it is also warm outside. There is no air conditioning.
No small refrigerator in the room.
And the bathroom smelled really bad. There was a continuous smell of rotten eggs coming from the bath.
Breakfast was extremely limited. There was egg one out of three mornings. I've never had so little choice before. It was also Easter weekend. So we thought maybe there is something extra. But nothing
I would not recommend this hotel!
(Original)
Ontvangst bij de receptie was goed. Helaas geen aanrader. 2x gevraagd om extra kussens. Die zouden we krijgen. Niet gekregen. De kamers zijn mega warm. Raam wagenwijd open om het iets te laten afkoelen. Dit komt volgens de receptie dat de kamers ernaast de verwarming dan zo hoog zetten. En dat terwijl het buiten maar 9 graden was. Laat staan in de zomer, als het buiten ook warm is. Er is geen airco.
Geen kleine koelkast in de kamer.
En de badkamer stonk enorm. Er kwam continu een geur van rotte eieren uit het bad.
Ontbijt was ontzettend beperkt. 1 van de drie ochtenden was er ei. Zo weinig keuze heb ik nog nooit eerder gehad. Het was ook paasweekend. Dus we dachten misschien is er iets extra’s. Maar niets
Ik zou dit hotel niet aanraden!

(Translated by Google) C&O's service is excellent. Reliable and thorough and payable by date and by name. Had a great time. Too bad that the studios of Disney Paris were quite limited due to renovations. I would have appreciated that as additional information. Then I would have gone to the same park for 2 days.

De service van C&O is prima in orde. Betrouwbaar en gedegen en door de datum en op naam betaalbaar. Super tijd gehad. Jammer dat het deel studio’s van Disney Parijs behoorlijk beperkt was door verbouwingen. Dat had ik als extra informatie wel op prijs gesteld. Dan was ik 2 dagen naar hetzelfde park gegaan.
Meinweg National Park is a picturesque and serene destination, offering a terraced landscape with heathlands, woodlands, and diverse wildlife. It's popular for hiking, cycling, and horseback riding. The park features remnants of the 1879 railroad and the in 1962 aborted coal mine, adding to its historical significance. Visitors can enjoy extensive hiking and biking while exploring interesting geology and natural history. The area also offers pleasant cafes at the entrance for convenience.
Very nice atmosphere !
Good food and very friendly, personal service.
And above that all, the cook is creative for the vegatarien friends I treated on a dinner.

For app. 1,5 - 2 hrs one can spend a good time learning about these events and more, being guided by an audio tour.

This was a lovely spa experience. This was my first German Spa experience and I loved it! I would highly recommend this to anyone. When we first arrived, I made an appointment at the spa for an hour massage. It was amazing and relaxing. He was extremely professional yet personable. I felt very at ease and booked again for the day we left. He came in early to accommodate our early departure. He made tea and gave little snacks after the second appointment. It was wonderful! Call early to book a massage! Two of the best massages I have ever received.
The hotel room was nice, the beds could do with a little upgrade. Very clean!
The hotel staff were always attentive and even though we speak little German, they were very patient with us.
The breakfasts and dinners were also wonderful. The staff were efficient and friendly.

Wildlife park with farm animals & wild deer, displays of eagles & falcons, plus a Wild West village.
Wow wow must go!!! Unbelievable!
For all people 3 months to 120.
Good to begin with the “train “ bus, that takes you around all directions to see and know where to go.
First thing you have to ask when the birds show starts!
Then go back and walk all the way.
You can give food to the animals and go inside…. So cool.
And be with them all around you.
The wild birds are amazing! The “ Bambi “ so nice. You have pigs too and much more.
We came with something to eat from home.
Take water and good walking shoes.

Beautiful! Natural! Pure! I think it's one of the best open game enclosures in Europe. The ideal place for children, grown ups, couples, the elderly, in short for everyone. A huge parking lot outside with a nice cafe at the entrance. The tickets aren't that cheap. It costs 11€ for adults but on the other hand, it's so much worth it. For this amount you get so much in return inside. A magnificent bird show with all the best hunting birds for eg: Falcons, owls, different species of eagles and hawks, etc. You get to interact personally and feed varieties of animals like deers, boars, red deers, donkeys, lynx, sheeps, etc, etc. You can buy animal food at the counter, I think it costs 1€ per packet. It's pure nature inside with beautiful panoramas at places where mountains, river and the skies meet each other. We love this place alot and definitely recommend it to everyone. A MUST!

First time actually playing paintball with friends and this was a good place for that. Very instructive and helpful. My friends and I were taken aback by the prices though.

The Sechs-Seen-Platte is a recreational area that boasts of several swimming lakes with sandy beaches, forested trails, picnic spots and water sports activities. The attraction offers ample parking space and easy access via public transport. Visitors can enjoy walking on the big trail or indulging in various water sports. Although it may appear a bit grey during winter, the overall experience is still clean and refreshing. The place also provides opportunities to spot little animals like ducks and geese.
Really beautiful place, lots of space to walk, Kid's play area, the spring bridge, and so on. The petting zone with farm animals is quite an attraction. If you are lucky you can also see peacocks just taking a stroll.

Phantasla Land is an amusement park located just 45 minutes south west of Cologne, Germany. It features thrilling roller coasters, epic water rides, world class entertainment across six different lands and is perfect for families. The park opens in April through to November and is well worth a visit if you're looking for a fun day out.
The rides are amazing, the food outlets serve several cuisine and finger food. All of them are delicious. Not to forget the inhouse beer houses- beer flows in big glasses worthy for a look for sure. The adventure park has the best rides for both kids and adults. The fauna is very well maintained and themed. A perfect adventure + leisure place for the whole family. Must visit in Europe. You can reach very conveniently from public transportation

This amusement park was absolutely wonderful! The hotel was top notch, the employees were always cheerful, the food inside the park was plentiful, and most importantly the wait in the cue was extremely short compared to other parks.

This place is fantastic. The theme park is split into 6 areas: 1920s Berlin, Fantasy (water themed), Mexico, Africa (Safari), Fantasy (medieval) and China. There are a variety of rides for 3 years and older, a wide range of restaurants and souvenir shops. All rides are included in the ticket price. Popular rides have screens indicating the wait times. You get free entry on your birthday.
The negatives are that the area seems to be really popular with wasps during the summer.
I recommend going early.

It's one of the best parks ever. The rides are pretty fun, there are food options all over, and the scenery really lives up to its name.
A few cons are: some rides' entrances are hard to find, bottled water is very expensive and, as expected, with the long waiting lines there's no time enough to try it all.
Maybe if the app had an English version and the rides' entrances pointed better in its map, the first con would be solved.

I have been to a lot of amazing amusement parks, but this is on a different level. Disney nor Universal can't touch this park. The rides the staff the food the in the park hotels are on a higher level of customer service. They way they themed this park is so original.
HUBERT — Google review
Phantasialand is overall a good theme park.
BUT!
They lack guidance inside the park. We got lost many times and couldn't find our way to the rides. Even the app shows allegedly entrances to attractions, and when we arrive, we realize those are the rides exits and had to walk to the other side of the ride to get to its entrance. I suggest they add more screens around the park to show directions to rides as well as waiting times (they have a very few).
We came on a Monday, which was great since the waiting time in almost all rides was up to 20 minutes. However, all the big rides have a very, and I mean very, long walking distance from where the entrance is declared to where the ride actually is. I can not imagine how people are standing in these huge lines when the park is in full capacity or in pick seasons.
Another thing that bothered me is that one of the best rides is closed. Also, many other rides had to close temporarily and opened later on during the day.
The popular rides that did function were really great. I mostly liked Taron and F.L.Y.
I am not sure this park is worth the 60€ price, but overall it is a good park.

Spend all day there in March 31, didn’t use all attractions and events cuz the park is huge! Most popular attractions take minimum 30 minutes of wait. Do not recommend to use water attractions during cold time. We were spoiled our day because we were all wet and cold…. Then after you can dry for extra money and loose your time to try drying yourself ( +40 minutes ) and anyway you stay still wet. On my opinion water attractions better use in summer when it’s very hot outside.
The rest was pretty cool. Our first experience was in tower. Amazing.

Really good small park with some improvements needed. Too few places to eat and too few toilets. Also the signs to the rides need to be less confusing and actually point towards the rides. Same with the park map. It would be great if the entrance shown in the map would be where the actual entrance is.

We had a lovely time here, though a lot of the rides are hidden from view and you just sort of have to guess or Google what they are in advance based on the name of them at each entrance. Aside from the fantasy part of the park there are very few rides a five or six year old can go on. Great food options though and the decor has really been thought through! The African adventure trail was our favourite.

Really nice place and good thematic decor! A lot of places to eat tasty food, a lot of activities. Need to have 1 or 2 full days for exploration. The only thing I didn't like is that when you come to any part of the park there is not enough info, you don't know how hard or scary it is + how long it will take. Basically it's always a surprise 😬 So I needed to put to youtube each name of the machine to see how scary it is. Would be nice to have some grading before the waiting line.

Incredible theme park, the areas were beyond the imagination. Stayed at Hotel Charles Lindbergh for 2 nights, expensive but 100% worth it if you're a roller coaster / theme park enthusiast like myself, especially if you go with somebody you can split the cost with. Cannot wait to return this year, hoping to go at least once every year. Can't recommend it enough!
AQUALAND is a huge indoor water park just outside of Cologne, Germany with pools, slides and a spa area. It is also home to 11 saunas and a Turkish hammam. Adults can also access the ice grotto and more for an additional fee.
The place was fully packed, but still quite nice. We didn't have free chairs to sit on, so we left earlier than planned. There are pools with different water temperatures, bubble pools, saunas, and hot spots. Lunch was also nice, there is fresh food, but all fat and fast food. The kitchen staff is nice, cashiers also nice.

I'm writing this review to share my terrible and unsafe experience at the waterpark, particularly for tourists like myself.
We initially bought our tickets online, only to be informed by the front desk staff that they were unable to scan tickets from a phone and required a physical copy. They then directed us to print the ticket upstairs for a euro. Despite expressing that we only had a card and no cash, we received no prior information about their cash-only policy. Frustratingly, the staff member scanned the printed ticket with ease, something she could've done with the phone, leading me to believe that we were misled into paying a euro unnecessarily.
The park is in dire need of renovations. The majority of its features were rusty and the overall condition was far from impressive. Perhaps it was an attractive spot in the 2010s, but it's evident that regular updates are crucial for maintaining customer satisfaction.
Another point of dissatisfaction was that we bought access to both swimming pools and saunas, but the website failed to mention that the saunas were for nude use only. As someone uncomfortable with such a setting, I felt as if I paid for a service I didn't use. Additionally, the reception staff was impolite, raising their voice while explaining that such a setup was acceptable for Germans. Although this might be common knowledge to locals, as a tourist, I was caught off guard due to a lack of clear information on their website.
We also tried out the waterslides, specifically the Aquaconda, which proved to be alarmingly dangerous. There was no staff member regulating the number of people on the slide at any given time, and this, combined with reckless behavior by some of the park's younger patrons, resulted in a highly dangerous situation. We collided with several others on the slide due to a lack of organization and oversight. Following this incident, the slide was shut down after two hours, citing another issue.
Lastly, the placement of the smoking area was abysmal. The door of the smoking area opened directly into the indoor water slide area, filling it with smoke. As a non-smoker, I found this extremely off-putting, and I was surprised to see that this was the area where most children congregated.
Thankfully, I purchased discounted tickets. If I'd paid full price, I would have demanded a refund.
In summary, this waterpark left a lot to be desired. It's run-down, the staff is unhelpful, and it reeks of cigarette smoke. Plus, the waterslides are rusty. I would not recommend it.

Went there yesterday for the first time. At first glance it seems really small but it has a lot to offer.
The reason I can only give it 3 stars is because it’s soooo outdated and looks rundown. There are amethyst stones everywhere which makes you wonder who would ever come up with it?!
Rust due to lack of paint or no maintenance is also something that gives it an outdated look.
The fact that 3 out of 7 slides were under construction was a big disappointment!
Also the jets for the water rapids were not turned on the whole time we stayed there.

For students it is beneficial to go on a Thursday cause of the 50% discount you get. There is a laser show at 8 pm but it's nothing too special. They play the most common German songs during that show. But the rides are super fun and you can definitely have a good time.

Horrible experience for a female visitor. There are almost no lifeguards at the slides so people will try to skip in front of you. Apparently other visitors don't believe in personal space as I was pushed several times and little children kept crashing into me halfway down a slide. One of my friends ended up with a bleeding elbow because a group of childish men kept waiting in the middle of the slide so people would crash into them. While I was waiting for my friends in the main pool area, groups of men AND middle schoolers kept bothering me and making me uncomfortable, I ended up sitting on a chair crying one hour into my visit because I felt so horrible. Not worth the money at all because the floor and the chairs are very dirty as well. Never coming here again, would give zero stars if possible.

Unfortunately this swimming pool was a bit disappointing. Due to the high price (€24 for 4 hours) our expectations were high but they were not satisfied. The pool can be quite busy and during the whole afternoon there was a penetrant urine-smell near all toilets and changing rooms, the hygiene was not up to standard. Furthermore, the pool itself is quite dated, missing tiles, things not working, etc. There are a few wellness amenities available but because there are so many people (including children) it’s not really possible to relax. I would not advise to visit this pool.

Nice swimming pool with cool slides. Clean, bit cold outside of water. Employees speak only german and not everyone is nice (i look at you middle aged lady in glasses and children's hair clips). What broke me was the local people. On the photo is line of locals at 8.30...aqualand opens at 9.00. You can not reserve so you need to stand in 2 hour line.

We came on Christmas Day, 25. December and it was such a nice way to spend Christmas Day! If you want to skip the crowds, come early. It gets very busy around 3/4pm. Everything was very clean and the staff was kind and helpful.

Great spa with many fun water slides. Very nice and kids friendly pools. The only unpleasant thing there were the staff. Starting from the angry two women at the cashier desk through the restaurant personnel. Only because of their rudeness 1 star less from the top.

Holidaying in Germany with a group of friends we decided to visit Aqualand. I was a bit dubious after reading the reviews but we greatly enjoyed our visit. The pools were clean and well maintained, we saw staff regularly testing the chemical levels in the pools to keep them clean. Toilets and changing rooms were also kept clean all day, I did notice the smell mentioned in previous reviews, I believe it to be coming from the drain at the bottom of the stairs leaving the pool area which I appreciate is out of the control of staff to fix and is contained to that one small area. We found the slides to be incredibly fun even if the drop slide wasn’t working on our visit, we did have to queue for them occasionally but as it’s the school holidays we expected this. We did not however queue to enter the facility. The only negative I can find was that there are not enough sunbeds outside to go around, it would be helpful if staff enforced a policy to not allow guests to hold sunbeds when not in use. Whilst I was able to secure one, I noticed a large number of sunbeds being reserved with towels on them in which no returned to. If staff regularly removed towels and prevented people from reserving them there would be more to go around for when people actually want to use them.

We were on our way back from France and this was a welcome surprise and reward to our family after so many hours in the car before. Our kids (10 and 12) enjoyed the slides and we had a good time together. However, having been in some bigger Aquaparks in Europe elsewhere I agree to the comments from other reviews - the place needs a makeover. We went there on a weekday around 6 pm and it was busy but not crowded.

It is amazing place to relax with the family and friends. Great customer service and very friendly staff. Ther is so many different saunas it is hard to describe it. you must see the part for adults only.

Swimming pool and slides are great! Sauna experience was bad. A steff member left the door wide open for minutes after refilling the water. I had to close it myself, happened twice. My feet are still burning because of the bad floor covers. Not relaxing at all.

This place seems famous among Luxembourgers (like Phantasialand) so I visited to go see for myself.
First good thing, the parking is free and its right next to the highway. The building looks nice and stylish.
I took a 4h pass (~30€) for the pool & slide area only (wellness and sauna area is extra), and got a wristband. The unisex changing rooms were spacy and regularly cleaned. Showers are clean, though there was some maintenance going on.
The water park was at medium capacity I'd say (arrived at 12 o'clock).
The large main dome had many long chairs to sit down. There was also an unusual large amount of whirlpools/Jacuzzi spots, which I liked. The dome features a nice pool that winds around, I thought the water was a bit turbid though (but thats honestly the case in almost every public pool). Also there was lots of hair, especially in the pools where the waterslides end.
The Erlebnisgrotte was nicely themed, though it was rather chilly since maintenance was going on. The steam room was nice though. On the other side there is another grotto but with a hot water pool, that one was pretty popular and always packed.
The outdoor pool was cool, check out the salt water pool. Although I wish the salt water pool would be accessible from the indoor area.
The slide dome already looks impressive: its like a maze of slides inside. All slides were 0-7min waits. The trapdoor loop slide was always a walk-on, I guess people were too scared haha. I enjoyed it (also witnessed a few guys getting rescued from the escape hatch). Aquaconda was pretty cool especially with its uphill sections (rare in Germany). The double slide was ok, but nothing extraordinary. The Canyon slide was much more fun and thrilling than expected. Red star was surprisingly fun and fast. The bowl slide was also fun. I loved the Boomerang, very thrilling little thing. I also checked the new Rutschen-Dschungel which is cool but more for younger folks. I managed to get 4-8 rides on each slide
For lunch I had a currywurst and a slushy, price/quality was ok. Though I wish they'd update their payment method for the restaurant and poolbar, like its in some other places: wristband scanned when buying something and then paying when leaving the park. So you dont need to get your wallet out of your locker.
I totally recommend visiting this place, though check beforehand to avoid school holidays and weekends. This place can get packed, loud and rowdyish when you are there at the wrong time

Great swimmingpool! It could use a little update but it is very nice.
Good points:
+ Bands for the lockers
+ Many slides
+ Waiting times are not too long
+ Water temp is good
+ Enough places to sit
+ Great choice of drinks at the restaurant
+ Poolparty with foam and candy (and music from 2010)
Bad points:
- You have to put money on the bands before paying instead of afterpay
- Bartender Cocktialbar wasn’t friendly and seemed in a bad mood
- Cocktails are just bottled, they don’t mix it
- Dirty floors
When you drive towards the swimmingpool through the city center there is a very very sneaky speedtrap (Willi-Suth-Allee).
Not very suitable for older people I think. But for us it was great (young adults).

Gratuitously expensive without living up to essential criteria. The main purpose of the swimming pool is, off course, swimming! But in such a shallow anf crowded water? Kidding!
But if one is interested in sauna and jacuzzi, it's a perfect place to go. The price, however, as mentioned, is is prohibitingly high.

UPDATE: renovation in taking place. Nice bar in the pool. Get a token at the cash register. No cash in the water. Quality is rising. The food was hot and tasty. Looking forward to the new reopening. See pictures for a quick look.
Nice location to take a dive. Location is in the middle of a renovation. The old interior really needs an update. Have enjoyed this location a lot. Be aware. Drinks in the restaurant are quite expensive.

This place is a really good. To spend time with family for the summer or on the weekend. So many waterslides never gets busy. Short wait and a lot of fun... Generous menu in restaurants and for reasonable prices. We will be back. Thank You 😊 Aqualand
Rococo style palace from the 18th century with opulent interiors, expansive gardens & guided tours.
This is a great place to visit both the castle and its garden on Sunday. The interior decoration is amazing and the woods is a great site for a walk in spring. Mosquito spray is recommended if the walk are in afternoon.
Definitely will visit again in other seasons as well.

Unmissable, historic place in the region south of Cologne. The outside panorama of the Augustusburg castle is amazing. However, I highly recommend the guided castle tour showing some of the impressive rooms and interior including the main staircase. The price for the tour is with 9.50€ really decent.

Would definitely come here again. Decent student price for ticket (€5).
Also conveniently right next to the station - very easy to get to!

The palace has a nice exterior. The green area around are also nice. Perfect for a walk in the nature under the shadows of the trees. No entrance fee. There is a paid parking lot just on the corner. Visited the place in winter and it was a bit soulless but it is beautiful in the summer.

Beautiful interior and interesting guided tour. There was an English audio guide which was helpful. For anyone needing to sit down during the hour tour, small portable stools were available round the castle. Thoroughly recommended.
Chris Peacock — Google review
We waited for a group to gather to gain entrance and were given the recorders to play in English as the group was mostly German-speaking teenagers with a teacher. The English information was much shorter than what was described in German and the tour would be otherwise much shorter had we been allowed to walk freely through the rooms. Since we had to wait each time for German-speaking guide the tour lasted about an hour.

Unfortunately it closes at 5 pm but we were there before so 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The tour guide was great! Open to questions, told interesting stories. The staff in the gift shop is polite and kind. Thank you for your work! Especially liked the fact that the territory near the castle is open for walks. It was so nice to walk near the flowers and in the forest. Everything is well taken care of. Thanks again to the people who do it. The only regret is that I didn't buy Farina perfume. I can't forgive myself for this. We will come again 😊

Beautiful castle with a huge garden. Pet friendly as well. Right now it's undergoing renovations so some parts were covered and not accessible.
