The Risiera di San Sabba concentration camp was used by the Nazi regime to detain and kill political prisoners, as well as Jews who were then deported to Auschwitz. The museum is a five-storey brick-built compound that commemorates the 5000 people who perished here and the many thousands more who were impacted by the camp's existence. The exhibits provide an overview of the history of the concentration camp and its use during World War II.
Surely not at the level of the most famous (or infamous) concentration camps. For me it is worth five stars: this place needs a visit, as it is the only camp in Italy with a crematorium
Stefano de Santis — Google review
Great, succinct museum in a place charged with heavy, too recent history. Definitely worth a visit. Plan about 30-40 mins. Audioguides currently unavailable due to covid.
Emilie Roberts — Google review
An unexpected little gem. Another sad point of reflection on WW2, and how grim it must have been. It's not a very big museum and there is a lot of reading. For me the map of the transition locations across Germany shows the systematic scale of the operation that was being undertaken.
In spite of being close to the town, people did not realise what was going on until late in the war.
Entry is free, but a donation is welcome.
Owen Tully — Google review
Well put together as a museum of what should never have happened. Unfortunately we don't learn, everyone should visit as a reminder.

Not a light experience, but I considered it as a must, visiting the nearby.
Free entrance (I took audioguide for 3 Eur, but even without it, the museum provides enough information in Italian and English).
This is part of history, not so long time ago.

Interering place to visit but not much to see. A bit off the beaten track though easy to get to by bus. History is tragic and we hope it will not happen again. This is why it is important to visit such landmarks

Great museum and audiotour. Tells touching stories and still manages a good historical contextualization. Fitting architectural concept.
cleimu — Google review
This is a less known, yet very important site to visit. A remarkable monument of an era that should not be forgotten.
For 2 euros only you can buy an audio guide which I really recommend to do so, as otherwise you won't understand what to look at and you won't have all the background information.
If you get there by car the most convenient is to park at the supermarket's parking lot nearby.

Small, but nice place to visit, to remember the history.
Be aware that with COVID situation today you need a “Green pass” and that many buildings accept limited amount of people at once (2 to 10 people max) so it’s better to come in the morning to avoid queues.

Via Giovanni Palatucci, 5, 34148 Trieste TS, Italy
The Piazza Unità d'Italia (Piazza Grande) is a large, impressive square in the heart of Venice that is flanked by some of the city's grandest palazzi. The square is a beautiful triumph of Austro-Hungarian town planning and contemporary civil pride and is especially beautiful when lit at night. The buildings around the piazza are all well maintained and look really nice during the day or at night when they are illuminated with blue lights.
Beautiful square. It is often said to be Europe's largest square located next to the sea. The square was built during the period when Trieste was the most important seaport of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and includes the city's municipal buildings and other important palaces. You should visit Caffe San Marco – a magnificent place, well known to both tourists and residents

It's a wonderful place in Trieste ❤️
The main square in the city and one of the biggest squares in the world. Great architecture and monuments. Here is the fountain of the four continents, the building of the municipality and local government. There is access to the sea from the square. Try coffee in the cafe here - it is delicious 😋

One of the stunning places to visit at night. The Italians really know how to light up the night. This place is absolutely majestic, it beautiful during the day but absolutely gorgeous at night. It has lovely statues, water fountains and the buildings architecture is amazing. This place is one of my favourite evening places I’ve ever visited. It’s very lively, with lots to do in and around this area. How could you not check this place out.

Hidden Jem of a place. New cruise departure port 160km from airport. Took shared shuttle (faultless with (Go Opti) Replacing Venice for cruise ships. Trieste is a mix of styles with a laid back “Barcelona feel” to it. 200,000 people who love their piece of paradise. Outdoor European summer complete with alfresco dining in the heart of the city.

Trieste’s biggest and main square - this is also the largest square in Italy that is right by the sea (Adriatic Sea in this case). The grand open space is awe inspiring. This is a great place for hosting concerts as well.

Lovely square, there were many tents up in the square when iw ent there so I couldn't enjoy it to the fullest extent, I guess they had just gotten done putting on a big event. There's a great restaurant on the square that serves the best french toast I've ever had.

Ingresso da via Beirut al MUSEO STORICO E IL PARCO DEL CASTELLO DI MIRAMARE
Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta is a historic site, originally built in 313AD and featuring the largest floor mosaic in Western Christianity. The complex includes the Crypt of Excavations with geometric mosaics and terracotta flooring from an earlier stage, as well as the Fresco Crypt near the altar, housing faded yet beautiful 12th-century frescoes.
For only 5 euro you can enter the basilica and witness one if the oldest mosaic floors in Europe. I've never seen anything like it. The artwork is amazing. The entrance also includes the crypt. For an additional charge you can also see the newly excavated crypt. Highly recommend and hidden gem. Unesco site.

Beautiful Roman Ruins with Amazing and uge mosaic from V Century.
If you are on the road to or from Venise you must take 2hours to visit the site.

Anyone interested in history, art and architecture should visit this basilica. You can see elements from Roman, Langobard, Carolingian periods, and many more! 🙂
Adrian File — Google review
It was interesting to see the various levels built on one another in the basilica. I was impressed with the different mosaics and the different eras of architecture as the buildings grew and developed.
A couple problems were that the glass floors fogged up in places making it difficult to see certain parts of the mosaics, and that there were some areas not quite finished - but it is a beautiful building and worth visiting.
Andrew Grosser — Google review
This is a nice and well preserved basilica that you should see if you are somewhere near. The entrance fee is 5 € for adults and in my opinion it is worth the money. Toilettes are available on site and there is a little gift shop where you buy the tickets. The glorious exterior does put a nice vibe to think what is hiding on the inside. There are parking spots near by (2.5€ /h).
N. — Google review
Stopped for "just a few moments" on the way to Austria and stayed for 2,5 hours. This gorgeous basilika and surroundings date back to Roman Time and if you look at the work done "back in the days", you would be speechless about the level of details and how much the people paid attention to the message they wanted to portray. The balance between "good and evil" as well as the internal struggle to a higher power - it is amazing how many stories have been told with a "simple" mosaic. Don't miss it!

Catherine Jamieson — Google review
Italy is a country of historical beauties and this Cattedrale is undoubtedly one of them.
As soon as one enters the building is immediately overwhelmed by history: the view of the soffit and of the floors, covered by mosaics, is truly breathtaking.
When admiring this church you can “touch” the architectural, engineering and artistic ability of our ancestors: these treasures have withstood over a millennium (even more, when considering the original layers dating from B.C.).
The building basement is a surprise of mosaics and there it’s really astonishing how, through small tiles, those artists were able to depict amazing subjects, such as animals, faces and various objects.
Just a small suggestion: the descriptions of the mosaics made on the handrails, has it is done, is not a very clever solutions, since most of the writings have gone.

I return here around three times a year. It never gets old (no pun intended). It IS magnificent and very old - amazing mosaics the likes of which will simply astound you. The scale of them can’t be described. I’ve added a very small sampling of which there are much more. It’s the oldest known Christian establishment that is mostly intact. Stunningly preserved - wonderfully displayed in its original state. Truly a must see if you are in the area.

Gorizia Castle, an impressive 11th-century structure perched on a hill, is a must-visit during your city tour. The castle houses the Museum of Medieval Gorizia, the Synagogue of 1756 with its Jewish history museum, and the Museum of the Great War in Casa Dornberg and Casa Tasso. Additionally, it's home to the Transalpina Station, historically significant as it marked the border between Italian and Slovenian areas.
A very beautiful place to go. Peaceful and relaxing day by walking through the castle.

We came here walking from the railway station in Nova Gorica, where to we arrived from the lake Bled in Slovenia. The castle is currently closed, but the space around it is very tidy, and there is a big playground in the beginning of the walkind path near the big parking lot.

Interesting location, nice museum, but not a single info in slovene language! Only in Italian and a few in explanations in German. A lot of Slovene tourist- border is few metres away - but NOT A SINGLE TOURIST INFO IN SLOVENE LANGUAGE! Shame on you! Same situation is in town in restaurants, churches... Completely devastated park-wood on "slovene-side" of castle hill (in the east part of hill). Main building and buildings on hill top are nice.

The castle itself is wonderful, but what concerns foreign tourists is very badly taken care off. The panels with information are only in Italian language, no Slovene or English languages, even though we're in a frontier city which is bilingual. On the Slovenian side all the things are written in Slovene, Italian and English languages. The tourist worker who showed us around the castle, spoke really poor English and almost no word in Slovene.

Beautiful castle overlooking Gorizia and Slovenian side of Vipava Valley.
Cividale del Friuli is a charming town located in the Udine region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, North Italy. Nestled in the foothills of the eastern Alps and close to the Slovenian border, this picturesque town offers a rich historical and architectural heritage. Visitors can explore monumental doors designed by Scamozzi, stroll through beautiful squares overlooking the Duomo, and admire Venetian palaces and historic buildings.
The Vogel mountain peak boasts a cable car that takes visitors to a plateau with stunning views of the Julian Alps. Hiking trails are also available for those who prefer a more active approach. The area is popular for skiing during winter, but in the summer months, visitors can enjoy hiking and taking in the breathtaking scenery of Lake Bohinj from various vantage points such as Ukanc and Savica Waterfall. Overnight accommodations are available in nearby Ribcev Laz village.
Absolutely amazing place with great view of surrounding peaks and Lake Bohinj. The cablecar ride was such a great expirience.

This is a ski 🎿 place in winter. But during summer you can go to hike up on the mountains. It has a good view of the Bohinj lake as well. Remember, when you get out of the cable car, it is your only chance to get some photos of the lake, when you walk and pass, no view of the lake.
Bled Island is a small, picturesque island that is home to an adorable church and a few other buildings. It can be reached by boat from several lakeside locations, but its best to take a trip out there if you want to capture the island in all its glory.
Bled Island, located in the heart of the stunning Lake Bled in Slovenia, is a must-visit destination for any traveler. This charming island, with its iconic Church of the Assumption and the surrounding emerald-green waters, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. The tradition of ringing the church bell for good luck adds a touch of magic to the experience. I must mention here that the boat ride cost 18 euro and entry fee of the church is 9 euro which seems a bit overpriced to me personally. But, this is a great experience.
Bled Island is a captivating destination that offers a serene and picturesque environment. The boat ride to the island is a delightful experience in itself, providing breathtaking views of the lake and the surrounding mountains, aka Julian Alps. The Church of the Assumption is a historical gem, though the climb up the 99 steps can be a bit challenging for some. Overall, Bled Island is a beautiful and tranquil place that leaves a lasting impression.

Such an amazing view. When visiting ljubljana, you better passby lake bled for this amazing view. Very picturesque and instagram worthy.
They have boats (manually maneuvered) which are quite expensive (15eur) if you wanna have a quick visit to the lake bled island which hosts a church. The island alone is very small and you can literally finish it within less than 10min. But the important feature you are paying, is the view. Especially if you are into taking shots. If not, then basically nothing to see on the island and just take some good shots around the lake.

The island is very small. There is a small coffee shop and a souvenirs shop. And a church :) We got a motor boat that took us to the island - its' cheaper and quicker than the manual one. We spent 1 hour on the island - had icecream and took some amazing photos.
Roman Lagron — Google review
This is a total let down. There is nothing great on the island. Just an ice cream and coffee shop. Views are better of the island than from it. The pletna boat is a tourist trap at 18 euro a head. It's a rip off. If you don't have Fomo, then avoid this waste of time. Go for a trail instead from where you can see the lake nicely.
Go to the castle and enjoy the view of the island. Much better.

Bled Island is worth a visit but it is a bit of a tourist trap. The fees to enter the church is a bit pricy. The boat ride over is an extra cost but is worth it for a unique experience

You can be rowed to the island, take a "normal" boat, or hire a boat and row yourself.
I just admired the island from afar while I walked round the whole lake.
Gorgeous views.

It is totally an amazing experience. Take the boat to the island. Visit the church, museum and enjoy the sight. For me it was breathtaking.
Mustafa Arikan — Google review
If I’m honest, this is a big let down and a rip off to get onto this tiny island for nothing much to see. Spent eur18 to take the boat and another eur12 to go into the church and museum (I saw old posting states price used to be half of that). I’ll not recommend to visit.
Lake Bled is a stunningly beautiful scenic lake surrounded by mountains and forest, with an island that houses a historic church. The greatest attraction of the lake is its exquisite blue-green color. Mild thermal springs warm the water to a swimmable 22C (72F) from June through August. There are numerous places to rent boats, paddle boards, and take photos of the lake from all around.
Stunning place with a fair bit to do, close to lots of activities as well. Row a boat out, do some swimming, rent a bike and travel out, eat some food and relax, a lovely place to spend a couple of days.

This is an exceptional art of the nature for sure. It is good that I went there during winter because in summer it is packed. Take the small boat to the island and enjoy every moment whilst you are there.

Beautiful scenery, lovely boat ride, nice little wander. We arrived early around 0900 and was much better for photos and for the heat, when we were leaving around 1300 it was much busier and very humid.
Hannah Gallimore — Google review
Truly one of my favorite places in Slovenia. You need to take the boat to go to the island. It's a wooden boat driven by man power. You just sit there and enjoy the view and the moment. The island is delightful. The church (one of 3000 in Slovenia) is beautiful and if you ring the church bell you get your wish. You can also go the the Church Tower that I skipped as I have a fear of height, my friends did and loved the view. The ice-cream shop has a great selection and I loved the raspberry cheesecake brand.
Truly a must visit

As majestic and beautiful as it is down in the pictures! This is our second trip and our timing could not have been better! No tourists, no crowds! We visited on a Sunday in February, streets were empty but boats to the island and all attractions were open. Weather was very nice! We enjoyed a great quiet walk all around the lake of 6km path. We took the Pletna to the island, had coffee there, walked around and enjoyed the magnificent scenery! A beautiful and a must see attraction if you have never been. Even in the winter, it is beautiful!

Gorgeous place. Do note that in order to get to the house on the hill, you either need to hike 15 min, walk up the road or take a buggy. The buggy is expensive, so do bring sturdy shoes if you plan you walk all the way up.

Nice scenery but very overrated compared to other lakes . The gondola ride to the island is super expensive ($18 per person ). Better to rent the boat yourself but be careful to not go close to these gondolas as they are ready to charge your 100 euros if you even touch them . The island is nice but again overpriced for a small church with wishing bell and a small bell tower . The bled fort is also overrated .

Life goal retire here. Reminds me of my grandfather’s cabin in the mountains of New York, USA. Ah it was so beautiful. Water really is a blue green color. It’s not camera filtering trick in photos. And you can see straight through it a good 4ft deep. Absolutely amazing scenery. Must visit the island and get ice cream and take photos.

Beautiful lake with a castle (church) at the middle.
There are few beaches around the lake, and you can even rent a Sap, or small boats and reach the castle's island at the middle.
You should really visit this amazing place.

Looks like something out of a fairy tale and is in a very serene setting. It obviously is is a popular vacation destination by virtue of all the nice lodging going around the lake. There is a trail around the lake, but we chose to take a boat to the island, then hike up to the castle. But it into a very big lake and there were people walking and biking around at a leisurely pace. It is every bit as beautiful as all the pictures you have probably seen.

A must visit place. It has a spectacular panoramic view of the lake with the icy mountain background. A walk around the lake will make you feel very great. Overall has a breathtaking view and "A Walk To Remember".

A very picturesque place. You can either go round the lake by foot or car. You need to be there to submerge in its beauty. However you need to park a distance in one of those public carparks.

Beautiful place signed by peaceful environment with a lot of happy ducks 🦆🦆🦆
An ideal place where you can bring your family.
There are several things to see:
- Lake
- castle
- church in the island
- castle on the mountain
There are a lot of restaurants and there are markets nearby

Photos and videos taken in May 2023. I took a bus from Ljubljana to Bled. The bus ticket was so cheap during the weekend. I bought it from bus ticket office in Ljubljana and paid €2.20 (included 60 cents processing fee). Bus ticket from Bled to Ljubljana was €1.60, bought directly from the driver.
It was raining when I arrived at Bled. Eventhough my pants and shoes were wet from the rain, I was very happy that I visited Bled, beautiful lake with amazing mountains view.

Bled Castle is a medieval castle located on an island in Lake Bled, Slovenia. The castle was first mentioned in 1011 as Castellum Veldes and has been rebuilt and restored multiple times over the centuries. Today it is a tourist destination with a museum, restaurant, and wine cellar.
There is an exceptional view over the lake Bled from this castle. I highly recommend to go there if you visit the lake Bled.
There is a road which you can go by car to the castle. But the parking lots are limited. We visited the castle in April and we were lucky to find a parking lot. I think during the summer, it will be very difficult to find places to park the cars.
There is high slip to reach to the castle.
The castle has an entrance fee. The entrance fee for adults is 12 Euros and for seniors and students are cheaper (I think 9 Euros).
There is a honey 🍯 shop. I strongly recommend you to visit the shop. You can find honey with different tastes and flavors.

Castle of Bled is one of the most beautiful place in the world.
You can park near the castle with car, but rarely you can find parking place, because there are usually a lot of people. The other way to come by walk and park near the lake, it’s not so easy too, but fortunately we found a parking place.
The castle is on the top of the hill. You can buy the ticket near the entrance. You can drink coffee or eat something inside the castle, if you want and of course you can buy some gifts in the shop. The view is amazing nice from the castle wall and from bastion. Definitely worth to visit :)

Awesome castle with incredible views of the surrounding and lake Bled below. Highly recommend to start at the bottom on lake Bled with a water activity (Boat or kayak) and then come up to Bled castle to see the view . You can spend quite some time learning about the local history as well as there is a small museum of sorts. Very cool activity and place to visit
Thomas Coetzee — Google review
Beautiful castle, great and informative museum with a varied exposition ranging from ancient history, geology and fossils to medieval artifacts. Breathtaking views. The walk to the castle was steep but short on mud and stairs. Entrance 15 euro per adult.
The long coffee at the small coffee shop was not good, pretty watery and served in a paper cup.
Thomas De Coo — Google review
The Castle is a bit of a hike up the hill, but once you get up there you will get some amazing views of the lake. You get the best views of the entire lake, the island and the surrounding mountains providing all the instagram shots. There is a cafe if you need a drink or something to eat as well.
johnsko Johns — Google review
Very nice and historic castle with unique position. However the magnificent view on lake Bled is the only positive thing you can get for the entrance ticket to castle area. Asking 17 euros for adult is too much for offering so little... Also parking space below castle is expensive with 3 euros per hour. I guess that this place became too commercial.

We had a wonderful time here! The place is not incredibly large, but you cn spend a lot of time. The view is great, you can serve food or just an espresso with some cake. Definitely worth visiting so give yourself some hours to really take in what the castle has to offer.

What a magical place !!! The trek up to this castle is totally worth it for the stunning views of the lake bled you get to see. It's a must visit and if you are not willing to walk uphill it is accessible by car. There is an entrance fee to get in but trust me the views alone are priceless. There is this sweet souvenir shop where they print your name on handmade papers. If not to buy its a cool store to visit.

Amazing views of Bled from all directions when inside the castle. There was only a small line to get in when I went on a weekend in March. Tickets were 11 euro for a student which is fair in my opinion. Parts of the castle that you should definitely make time to stop in to include the cafe (amazing views if you get a good table by the walls, and good to try the traditional Bled cream cake, which is around six euro), the printing press (you can get custom printed items from an old style printing press, like magnets, bookmarks, pictures etc. on home crafted paper), and the upper walkway for amazing views of both the inside of the castle, and of the town and mountains next to the castle through the windows and viewing ports. There is also a gift shop, chapel, small museum, and toilets available in here.

Beautiful place in every season.
I visited here in winter (End of Feb)
Pros: No crowded, Private
Cons: There is no boat to go to the church
The castle has a museum inside which full of historical stuff. Had so much fun around.
Recommend to walking up there to warm your body up also seeing views along the way

How can you not visit here...? One of the most famous castles in Europe, and for sure Slovenia! Perched way up on the hill overlooking the lake, it is amazing. The exibits are really neat to see and incorporated into the actual location which is super cool. Very nice restaurants and snacks await you up top while you look out over the lake at an incredible view!

Came here at the end of the peak season. No waiting, very little people in the castle in the afternoon past 15:00. Wonderful views of the lake from the top. Plenty of parking along the way to the castle. Dog friendly, however they can't enter the inside of the castle but can stay around the restaurant.

We chose to drive up in a car hire and park just below the castle. There were a few spaces and reasonable pay and display prices. There is a nice small coffee bar right on the edge of the castle in the courtyard with the amazing views. Quite expensive for a lemonade but you’re paying for the view which we felt was worth it. Worth asking for student discount even if you don’t have a student pass but are at school and over 14.

It's over priced and the staff isn't really kind, they were rude with us, compared with the Ljubljana Castle which is much better and costs 50% less. The view is beautiful but only a few things to see in the castle. There are many nice Castles around Slovenia which worth to see and costs much less!

One of the main attractions in Ljubljana that cannot be missed. There are multiple walkways up to the castle from the old town through the forest. Alternatively there is a funicular or also parking spots available right at the castle gates. Castle courtyard and the restaurants can be accessed without the ticket. Only necessary for the tower platform and the museum. View from the tower is worth the climb up, as you'll get a 360 degree view of the city. Also the snowy mountains in the distance are visible at good weather. The castle itself is very modern renovated, so don't expect a medieval vibe there. Some good restaurants and wine bars located in the castle, as well as some photo galleries.
Lukas L — Google review
Fantastic spot, free parking, you can drink some wine in the wine cellar, fantastic views of the lake. Very fun to walk along the various floors and passageways. Not a huge castle, maybe an hour's worth of entertainment. Great museum and a small, functioning, old-fashioned print shop

Oldest castle in Slovenia. It was built in 1011 and that's only a reason to visit. It is well preserved and most part can be visited. Two rooms served a museum with exhibits and one a a gallery featuring local artists. One room is dedicated to printing with a replica of Gutenberg wooden press.
Great views of the lake bled and the island. There is a restaurant where you can sit and enjoy the view

Always wanted to go here. Best moment of my life. The stairs to the top had me breathing like a pregnant cow but it was worth it. There are however, other options to get to the top so you can explore that. You need tickets (which are affordable) to get in and there have audio guide qr codes throughout the castle to help you listen on your phone. An awesome way to wrap my year!

Awesome place!
I like how it's looks now, super accurate and cleaned, and people taking care of the castle. It's respectful!
Here is the perfect view on a lake, mountains, and villages around.
Nature makes it unbelievable!
Also here is a small cafe on a territory with good coffee and an amazing view. And a big restaurant inside the castle.
Good and clean toilets and whole territory.
The Soteska Vintgar, discovered in 1891, is a popular tourist attraction located about 4km northwest of Bled village. It features a wooden walkway that spans over the Radovna river for almost a mile and provides breathtaking views of rapids, waterfalls, and pools. The highlight of the gorge is the 16m-high Sum Waterfall.
We visited on their 1st day of reopening, April 16. Unfortunately due to construction, a few roads are closed so it is emphasized that you should take bikes or walk. We hired a local shuttle to take us there and back to Lake Bled. When we arrived at the entrance, we saw 15-20 cars had taken the same side route that we did to the main parking lot by the entrance. If you get there early, you may get lucky and a parking spot. Otherwise, I’d listen to their recommendation and take a shuttle, bike, or walk there.
The gorge is well worth the visit. It took 45 min with two kids (8 & 6) to walk through. Pictures don’t do it justice. The kids really enjoyed the walk and it’s very safe and easy to do.
At the end of the one way hike, you need to take a hike back to the entrance (min 45 min back), unless you took a shuttle. We took a shuttle and the pickup point was about 10 min past St Katherine church.
Highly recommend doing this trip if you are staying in Lake Bled - even though it isn’t as easy as when you can simply drive your own car there.
David Salinas — Google review
I don't think pictures or words can describe the beauty of this place. It's just amazing. It's a great place to spend a few hours in the nature, to just relax and enjoy the sound of the river. Notice that the starting path is a one way travel. To return to the parking spot, you have several options. We chose the red path, which is a 45 minutes walk through the forest. This was also a really nice activity.
Cosmin Vacarescu — Google review
We went there with friends and kids. It was november and after rains. Few days ago we visited Tolminska korita which had bigger wow effect on us. This is nice walk but not worth 40 eur, incl. Parking. We used the red path on the way back via Blejska dubrava. It is a regular walk through forrests, nothing spectacular. There is a nice bridge and waterfall at the end of george but that is all. Also the parking was quite chaotic. I have a feeling this is a tax for being close to Bled.
Lukas Motovsky — Google review
Located just a few kilometers from Lake Bled, the gorge features a stunning landscape carved by the Radovna River over millennia, with dramatic cliffs, waterfalls, and crystal-clear water.
It is around 1.6 kilometers long and is known for its wooden walkways that wind alongside the river, providing a safe and accessible path through the gorge. As you walk along the trail, you'll encounter picturesque views of the rushing Radovna River, cascading waterfalls, and natural pools.
One of the highlights of the gorge is the 13-meter Šum Waterfall at the end of the trail. The waterfall is a beautiful sight and a great spot to take photos. Throughout the walk, you'll also encounter small bridges and viewing platforms that offer different perspectives of the gorge.
It offers a serene and picturesque experience away from the bustle of Lake Bled. The trail is well-maintained, making it suitable for visitors of all ages and fitness levels.
Y. T. Nixon Tan — Google review
Ridiculously beautiful walk along the river showing nature at her best with running water, waterfalls, moss, a variety of flowers and clean fresh air. The walk is fairly easy and not far. Worth noting however that it is a one way trip and that you are either going to do a 45 minute. Modernate walk back (which is also gorgeous as the path we took had views of the city Bled and fields of cows) or you are going to pay for a taxi. Best come prepared for a longer hike.
Eden Theron — Google review
Very beautiful trail, well maintained and absolutely worth the few coins. One small thing that we would have liked to know up front is, that it's only a one way trip. So you walk a beautiful gorge trail made of wood pathways on the cliff side, just to walk back via a random trail and road which isn't all that beautiful. There is an opportunity to take a transit back to where you started the gorge but we did not take it.
We had a really good time enjoying the beauty of the gorge.

Everything it advertises and more. This Stunning piece of nature is a must see when going to Slovenia. It's a paid entry but I get why the route is clean and well maintained. You have to pick a time slot so that it doesn't get crowded and that seems to work! Nice views and you have a mixture of sun and shade, ideal for warmer days where you will appreciate the spray from the falls

Very nice distress. Tickets can be bought online or on the spot. It's more convenient online. parking is available before the rush hour. The walk is not very difficult, also suitable for families with children. it is possible to return via two circuits. It is beautiful.
Marek Šolc — Google review
It's worth a look, not sure about good value for a family. I can see the costs that they have so it could be fair price but seems a little high as a family. The path is fairly tight so you can't feel like you can stop and people who are constantly stopping especially on the bridges are blocking the way for others etc. Everyone was polite but it does take away from the experience, then you add hard hats and brisk staff.. I'd probably preference a less popular hike in the beauty which really is abundant in the area next time.

A must do attraction!!
We visted the gorge at the end of April 2022 and thought it was the perfect start to our trip to Slovenia. The gorge is breathtaking with the boardwalk taking you right over the crystal clear water. We then crossed the river and returned via a trail on the West side of the gorge, taking around 90-120mins in total. Highly recommend this site.
Benjamin Moye — Google review
Beautiful walk in nature for 2-3 hours. We did it right after the rainfall so the water was wilder than normal. Put on decent shoes (sneakers will do, but no flip flops). There is a place where you can drink halfway. Two options will lead you back to the entrance. Option 1 is shorter (2.7km) and faster, but has more elevation, including various stairs. Option 2 is 4.1km, and easier to do. The down side of Option 2 is that it will take longer. Since it is close to Lake Bled, the combination of both on one day, works very well.
Hubert B. — Google review
10€ each and another 10€ to park. Not worth 30€. The gorge is beautiful, but considering it's not that long and it's only one way so you have to walk a different way back. It just isn't a good value. Lots of other beautiful hikes in the area that are free.

A most beautiful canyon and lovely hike along it. It's one way only (down the river), thus going back requires going uphill along different route. About 2-3 hours all together

A breathtaking, must visit place in all seasons. Since it is one of Slovenia’s most popular attraction is does get very busy. If you really want to enjoy your time in the Vintgar Gorge it is recommended to get there either right after opening or about 2 hours before closing. Avoid weekends and holidays, if you can. When I say it does get busy I mean it! The gorge is one-way. On the way back to the parking lot take the green trail. It’s a bit longer than the red one, but the view is well worth the extra steps! Enjoy!
Tamás Fekete — Google review
The gorge itself is nice but I am not sure that it is worth the money you have to pay for the trip. The ticket cost 10 EUR for adults, 3 EUR for a child (6-15 years old) plus additional 10 EUR for parking your car. We ordered the tickets online and came early in the morning so at least we had the gorge almost for ourselves. No crowds at all. Later on when we came back, there were a lot of people
waiting to buy the tickets.
You will spent some 40-50 minutes in the Vintgar soteska and after that you have to come back a different way as the gorge is only one way street. There are two options: 1. the red one through the forest, 2. the green one (a bit longer) through a valley. We chose the red one. It was OK, not very difficult but not much to see. If this review helped you in any way, please give it a like.
Pavel Radkovsky — Google review
The natural beauty of this place is simply brilliant. Visiting in September was a great decision; while the car park was bustling, we had a serene walk through the gorge with no crowd hassles. Getting tickets at the main entrance was a breeze.
It will take you around 2-3 hours to the whole round trip as the actual gorge is on a one way system. I highly recommend following the green route to get back to the car park. It includes some nice views and grazing cows, sheep and horses.
For prices: parking was €10 and entry is €10 per person. If the main area is full, there is also a extended car park accessible by a free shuttle bus that I believe comes every 20 min.

Be aware, that the gorge boardwalk is one way. You have to hike back to the parking lot over half an hour. There is a shuttle option, but the hike back is not so hard. There are at the end to nice location to rest. One directly at the end of the gorge's boardwalk and one 10 min walk away.
Hans Gruber — Google review
Now this is a place one definitely needs to be well aware of the details n route. 1. The tickets and walkway along the Gorge is ONLY ONE WAY. at the end of the Gorge one has to Trek back from a long circuitous route through forest. Pleasent and enjoyable only if one is prepared for the 4.5 km trek.

BUY ONLINE TICKETS IN ADVANCE! That's the best tip I can give you in case you don't want to spend an hour in the line. Also, arrive as early as possible. We were there at 9:30 and there was already a lot of people. Still, it was super worth it! Also: bring hiking shoes and know that you might get a bit wet (it's not that bad). Totally worth it to pay it a visit!

Monte Santo di Lussari is a charming mountain destination with a picturesque village, pilgrimage church, and ski slopes. In the summer, visitors can take a chairlift to the top of the mountain and explore the scenic village at 1740 meters. The area offers stunning views of rocky peaks, valleys, and glaciers. Trekking enthusiasts will find various routes of different difficulty levels to surrounding peaks.
Extremely beautiful place. Swing around the bars over there for sunset aperitivo

An amazing place for weekend skiing. Less than two hours from the airport in Ljubljana. You can leave your car at the foot of the mountain at the free parking in Camporosso In Valcanale, where you can also rent a ski equipment. If you are looking for a peaceful quiet place, it is worth staying in one of the three small hotels on the top of mountain. During winter a gondola lift is closed at 16:00. From this time only a small group of hotel guests and service stay on the top. Silence, peace, amazing views. Priceles

Not so Bad skiing area... but, avoit it if there is any possible national holiday in Slovenia, Croatia, Austria or Italy... slow and old ski lifts, very narrow terrain, too many first lessons skiers and a lack of parking space... I recommend it only if there is sun, during week and if you see a lot of parkings.. than, ok..
Laghi di Fusine, a stunning pair of alpine lakes, is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers.

Lovely place to chill and relax. The car parking to the lakes for the day cost €5 .. you can take your dogs and picnics with you. They have done nice benches to seat and enjoy the scenery.
If you need toilets they have some public portaloo toilets otherwise you can use the ones at the private places like restaurants. The lakes are walking distance. You can drive or arrive by bus but not sure how often is the bus to this place. They have a mini market inside where you can buy local cheese, salami, bread honey etc

There is a really nice restaurant there with a view on a lake with delicious Italian food.

Not worth coming. Nice lake.
Have entrance fee of 4€ - scam, cause even there is no parking
Anton Abdulov — Google review
One of the most beautiful lakes I've ever seen. The lake seems almost magical. It has clear beautiful waters with forests and pastures all around it. The view of the Alps is simply stunning. Bring empty SD card and a full battery!

Functional rooms in a trendy budget hotel with a bar & a sauna, plus free breakfast.
Nice design hotel near Millenium express. Very good food. The room was nice and we had the smallest room. The entrance room wher you can store your stuff works realy good. The room can be a little noisy if you would like to go to sleep early, but i have solved problem with ear plugs. The location is top :)

The position of the hotel is in an excellent place. In Nassfield Valley. Directly across the road is the starting gondola that takes you to the top of the mountain. The hotel has a rental shop and a sports shop if you forgot to buy something. As for the rooms, they are comfortable, clean and spacious for 3 people. Each room has a vestibule which is actually a ski room where you can leave your gear. There are heaters for pancers, which is super appreciated. There is no separate ski room within the hotel. The food is correct, a good selection. They clean the rooms and change the towels every day. The pool could be a little warmer. The complaint is that there are no massagers in the pool, which means a lot after hard skiing. I recommend the hotel for families with children, it has a lot of facilities, it is very interesting that there is an artificial rock for climbing. You can get climbing equipment at the reception. I would come back to this hotel again.

This is nit 4 stars hotel..where is pool or wellness? Where are bellboys? There is ni ski depot, you need to carry your skis around entire "hotel". This could be a good hostel..

We spent one week in January 2024 in hotel, we were also in this hotel year before. Position of hotel is great, near Millennium gondola, rooms are specious in front of the room is small room where you can leave your ski equipment, bags, jacket...
Nassfeld has a good conection to the highway so the trip is in general very relaxing.
This year we were unpleasantly suprised by the quality of food. The dinner was horrible. It consisted mostly of food which was bought in some supermarket and prepared in microwave. It was lacking both meat and vegetable. Chicken was prepared with some sweet or sour sauce, who is not a fan of taste could not eat it. Other type of meet was too hard to chew. Vegetable was every evening the same. Pasta was terrible also. For example appetizer was prepared from leftovers from breakfast, they used croissant which were filled with something. Desserts were always dumplings and cakes which were made from mascarpone cheese. Breakfast was a little bit better but always the same, eggs were almost always cold and it was lacking variety.
Regarding the cleaning it could be improved a lot of dust and spiderweb in room and hall.
Pool was average, nothing special. Hall was missing a carpet, my wife felt when she entered the hotel in ski boots, same happened to other guest because of same reason.
In general 3 star hotel, bad food, too expensive.
Nikola Ninic — Google review
Max 3 star hotel.
Rooms are terrible. Extra small and no bathroom. Just separate toalet, separate shower and sink in the room with skis, where people can see you from the hallway.
Also other things:
Tv has limited channels and locked HDMI so you can not connect your reciever.
Wifi extra slow. Only round 1,7Mbit/s
Furniture basic like in Hostels.
Walls and ceilings just concrete painted.
Reception is great, climbing wall, playground, etc is great.
Also no bottled water, no caffe, no minibar,… for the price of 5* hotel you get good hotel with Hostel style room.

Crystalski holiday makers please check the welcome letter, the Crystal ski hire shop is not attached to the hotel, although yes there is a ski hire shop but you need to walk 10 minutes to Intersport for Crystal.
Also the ski school meeting place/details on the welcome letter are incorrect. Please check with reception or call the ski school.
Crystal have been given this feedback in March 2023.
So the hotel......
We upgraded to a family room, a king size bed and a small wall separating the smaller bed. This room worked for us as a family of 3, not sure if 4 people would have been that great. Bathroom large and shower powerful.
You'll get your own ski locker area, again worked great for us.
Self serving food section for breakfast and dinner excellent, most nights the service for drinks was great. Austrias/locals in our opinion were given priority.
The main ski lift is minutes away.
Would highly recommend the hotel.

Amazing buffet for breakfast and dinner, every single day the food was really great. The service team was honestly the friendliest i have ever met so far. The rooms are not the biggest but you have lots of storage room at the entrance hall, can hang your bikes there, backpacks, suitcase and so on. There is even a shoedryer. Ofcourse it is also prepared for the winter season and you have a place for ski too. Been a great experience and i am looking forward to visit again.

We had a wonderful time during our stay at the Feanz Ferdinand hotel. The location is ideal and the concept of the hotel is perfect for a ski trip.
Thanks to everyone working at the hotel, and specially to Tomas, who was the perfect bardender in the lobby. Hope to see you again soon.
The Pyramidenkogel Tower is a popular attraction in Klagenfurt that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city and Lake Worthersee. It features an observation deck, as well as a covered slide that provides visitors with a thrilling experience. The road leading up to the tower can be challenging for inexperienced drivers due to its steep and twisting nature. The parking lot is free and spacious, while the building's entrance is well-maintained.
Cool place. Road going up is fun, although might be challenging for novice drivers considering how steep and twisty it is in places. Parking lot is free, and large. Entrance to the building is very well maintained and the views from the top are brilliant. The slide from the top is well worth the 4 euros!

Spectacular views. Fair price as well and an awesome slide down. But wouldn’t recommend for someone who is afraid of heights as the tower does feel like it sways in the wind…a bit disconcerting

Great place to visit in Klagenfurt, from this tower you have a panoramic view on the city and the lake of Wörthersee, you can experience the slide from the 8th floor of the tower, the ticket costs for the student is 10 euro +4 euro for the slide if you would like to try it
aburashid aljabri — Google review
A nice attraction from which you can admire the beautiful surroundings in good weather.
The price is relatively high, but at least you can get a discount for students, for example.
The slide was unfortunately not in operation but would have cost more money.
The souvenirs were unfortunately also very overpriced.
Otherwise, you can sit down in the restaurant and have a good meal at the end.

beautiful architectural design in itself! sitting on top of a steep hill climb. i have been to many "observation" tower/platform from the Eiffel tower, to the top of st. peter's basilica, to Jinmao tower in Pudong, what i appreciated most about the Pyramid is that there are multiple decks and none of them is completely enclosed in with glass panels or fences (would be kind of unimaginable in the US due to the risk of massive lawsuit in case of someone jumping off! 🙄😁) therefore, not only do you have an unobstructed panorama view of the lakes, the alps, the meadows and villages, you also can feel the breeze and fresh air. to my surprise, there is an slide with which you can opt to slide back down. but in order to get more of this breathtaking view and get more fresh air, we opted to walk down the stairs ... unlike many staircases i had climbed before, this one is wide and with very easy steps to negotiate. there are even benches in the middle floors where you can stop and look out again. i was very impressed with architecture itself and many details incorporated to offer convenience and comfort to the visitors. a must stop if you happen to be in the area.

Not for the people that are scared of heights. Perfect landmark for adrenaline junkie, specially part with slide. If you are not elevator person you can walk with stairs to top/bottom. Great view from top (at least i heard i was too scared to go), dogs are allowed only with muzzles.

We walked from the parking place on a pretty difficult route to the tower (route nr 27, ~4.5km, 2.5h). It was beautiful and fun, for the children too. The elevator was not working in the tower, but 'walking is the best medicine', so with a couple of hundred steps we reached the top.:) The view from the top is amazing. You can see the Wörthersee, the Alps and more. If you decide to walk to the tower, then be aware of that the last bus comes at ~18:15. We missed it.:D
MF Gugli — Google review
We went to the tower during the week and it was cold and a bit rainy. The family had breakfast in the restaurant which seemed a bit pricey for what we got. The slide was closed that day which was disappointing but the views were great and it was nice exercise climbing up to the top.

Here are some interesting facts about Pyramidenkogel in Austria Wörthersee:
It is the tallest wooden observation tower in the world, at 100 meters (328 feet) tall.
It has a 120-meter (394-foot) long spiral slide, which is the longest in Europe.

Minimundus is an impressive theme park featuring scaled-down models of over 150 iconic world landmarks set in a lush park. The models are on a scale of 1:25 and the attention to detail is remarkable. Visitors can enjoy additional activities for children, pet-friendly areas, dining options, and a souvenir shop. The park offers free parking without any time limitations during this season.
Fantastic park, great miniatures. Really impressive. You need a few hours to take a good look in everything, enjoy, have fun. Additional activities for kids. Pet friendly. You have a restaurant inside and small souvenir shop. Toilets are clean and tidy. Parking is free for visitors, without time limitations in this period of the year.

The exebition with the buildings are great (but the entrance is expensive, no family ticket). The children also loved it, especially the working railroads and trains. And the reason for the 1 star is: the restaurant. It ruined the experience. Very overpriced, the food is bad, it's a rip off (small portions, with barely any sides, deep frozen, chewy meat, it was water with sirup instead of cola,...) and smoking is allowed, although there are many children in the park and in the restaurant too. So, if you visit the park, eat your dinner elsewhere.
MF Gugli — Google review
This was an amazing experience for the family. Highly recommended. We learned so much about the major landmarks across the world but also a lot more about Austrian architecture and history. The replicas are so impressive. Enjoyed the space shuttle launch. The 4D movie was ok, but not amazing.

A nice, tidy and clean place to get to know Italy in miniature. Everything is clean, the models are very neat, detailed and beautifully done, the environment around them is faithful with real miniature trees, the water surface is clean. Traveling by boat through Venice in a scale of 1:5 is also a nice experience. In addition to main Italy miniature and Venice, there is a lot of additional content. The only problem is that there is no shade during the tour of the miniatures, and on the day of our visit it was too hot

Villacher Str. 241, 9020 Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, Austria
Rauschberg is a 1,671-meter mountain in Germany that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Alps. Visitors can easily access the summit via a cable car, where they can enjoy the stunning scenery and explore easy walking trails. The area also features cozy mountain restaurants and opportunities for hiking. The journey to the top on the gondola provides an exhilarating experience as it ascends along the rocks.
Cable car up to top.

(Translated by Google) Very nice as a half day trip. When the weather is nice you have a great view from Lake Chiemsee to the main ridge of the Alps. We have been up there many times, also because travel is free with the Chiemgau card. The steep journey with the gondola along the rocks is also an experience. At the top there is a viewing platform right next to the station. We also recommend hiking for 20 minutes to the actual summit.
(Original)
Sehr schön als Halbtagsausflug. Bei schönem Wetter hat man super Sicht vom Chiemsee bis zum Hauptkamm der Alpen. Wir waren schon oft oben, auch weil die Fahrt mit der Chiemgau Karte kostenlos ist. Auch die steile Anfahrt mit der Gondel an den Felsen entlang ist ein Erlebnis. Oben gibt es gleich neben der Station eine Aussichtsplattform. Zu empfehlen ist aber auch noch 20min zum eigentlichen Gipfel zu wandern.

Railway transporting passengers on a picturesque ride to the summit of Schafberg Mountain.
Definitely worth doing. Views are amazing from the top. You can buy a one way ticket up and then walk down or buy a round trip. Walking down from the top takes about 3 hours depending on how fast you walk and how much you stop. We had to specify a time for the return but were able to change the time once we got to the top. At the very top is a cafe with outdoor seating. Great 360 views. There are a few pathways to walk around up top. Probably want to plan to spend time to walk around and take pictures or do some light hiking. For a weekday in peak summer it was crowded. Don’t have to buy tickets too far in advance but you might have to wait a couple train times if you do walk up in peak season.

This rail station is Austria's steepest COG railway has been running since 1893 from St. Wolfgang up to the Schafberg.

The Schafberg Bahn offers an intriguing experience with a scenic trip, but it's advisable to avoid it during the summer. The cabins tend to heat up significantly, reaching uncomfortable temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius, especially since they are packed with passengers. The high price of 50 euros per person for this experience feels steep. However, the panoramic view from the top is breathtaking, featuring a 360-degree perspective. Additionally, there are two restaurants available for refreshment during your visit.

A fun and unique way to get up the mountain.
We went during peak season in August.
We went early to get the first train at 08:50 and to be able to park in the car park right next to it which fills up fast.
Had pre bought tickets online.
Views from top amazing and huge restaurant as well as other food stands.
Love the trains in the bright red, makes for good photos and video of them chugging up and down.
Made the mistake of walking all the way back down 4250 feet. A bit much!

Nice experience in a slow-moving train with beautiful scenery along the way. The view at the peak is beautiful. A must-do activity if you are around the region. You won't regret it with the amazing scenery you get at the peak. It's quite pricey as it costs euro 47.6 per adult but it's worth it. Need to book the descending train slot when you buy the tickets.

Fun steam train ride of about 35 minutes with amazing views along the way. Our group road the train on a Monday around 11:30 am. We didn’t experience any issues, but the train was fully sold and completely full.
Recommend arriving early enough to be able to pick seats together (especially for larger groups). Also recommend being near the window when possible to get a breeze when it’s available. When our group went, the temperature outside was in the high 70s, but inside the train, it was significantly hotter. These trains have no air-conditioning and little circulation so be aware in the summer months.
Overall, the views were amazing, you won’t be disappointed.

The Best Mountain Train Experience you can have.
Superb views , everything was run professionally and no issues at all with anything .
My suggestion is to make sure you book your tickets online beforehand like we did . For both up and down trips time to suit you.
Makes life a lot easier as you are then guaranteed a seat on the trip time that you selected.
The whole experience was awesomeness at its best !

Not for people with health conditions! I was excited to enjoy the view and was expecting that in 2023 society is inclusive and options are offered for visitors that have problems walking or hear problems etc , but I had to learn , just do not go up. I managed to get on the train, but to reach the hotel and restaurant on top , one has to walk ca 1/4 mile steep uphill. If you can not do it, there is really nothing you can enjoy at the train station on top…. Maybe the rest rooms 😢 … otherwise really no. Onside ration for the disabled . Should have read before , but pretty disappointing … enjoy other sides that carry for people that had surgery and can not walk an incline , but do not expect any help or provision … hope they wake up one day and think about society members in wheel chairs or otherwise challenged people … until then never again
Nigel “Markus” M — Google review
Awesomeness all around.
Even the drive to this point was breathtaking.
Price of a round trip is a bit on the higher side. 43 euro per person. But we dont mind that a bit.
It takes around 30 mins for one side. Vintage style travelling. Views around just keep getting better. Might be hard to climb in for people with some difficulty with legs. No arm chair support.
Note: you have to select boarding and returning time before hand. At the counter, they accept card payment too.
In all, if you can, don’t miss it.
There are eateries at the top. But carry some cash.

Markt 35, 5360 St. Wolfgang im Salzkammergut, Austria
A huge, 11th-century fortress complex on a hilltop with breathtaking views over the city to the Alps is an unforgettable visitor experience. The fortress also offers one of the largest Medieval castles in Europe, with an exhibition space of over 335,000 square feet in 50 buildings.
Great place to visit when in Salzburg. You can walk up but we chose to take the funicular railway, which was fun. We bought the €13 basic ticket which was good value. It gives you return trip on the funicular railway as well as entry into most of the small museums. Museums were wonderful lots of interactive exhibits and easy to understand explanations. Great for kids and adults alike. A must visit when in Salzburg.
Karen Edwards — Google review
Absolutely amazing and a romantic experience! The short train ride up to the castle was fun. The views from the top looking down over this romantic little city was breathtaking. Inside the Fortress were highly interesting exhibitions. Great food and friendly staff. Just perfect for couples and families with children. Can't wait to go back.

Spent our last few hours in Salzburg hiking up to the Fortress. It was a great way to spend the morning. I really enjoyed learning about the centuries of change the fortress went through. I would recommend walking up, so you get a really good idea of why the fortress was so strong. The hill is long and steep. Seeing the three different gates makes a big impression as to the strength of the place.

Amazing views of the area from the fortress. We would have loved to have a bite at one of the restaurants as the views from the tables were stunning especially on such a beautiful when we were there. There are a number of attractions to see in the fortress, some for additional cost. It is worth the time to make your way up.

On a rainy day, it is still a great option as an ax activity for the day. There are so many museums inside. I would also highly recommend walking the Panorama Tour at the top for a beautiful view of Salzburg. Paying for the Basic ticket to take the funicular to the top, walk the panorama tour, was highly worth it even on a rainy day!

This is an excellent tour with lots to offer for the price you pay to enter. The funicular up the hill is fast and fun. The fortress is in impeccable shape with several interesting museums that catalog the development and use of the fortress from medieval times through WWI. There is even a small puppet museum too. There are great views of Salzburg and the surrounding valley. We had a great time.

A must see if you're visiting Salzburg. Great for adults and kids (I took my 10 and 13 yr old). Definitely get tickets for all areas. It cost us 49 euros for a family of 4 and you get access all areas.
The walk to the top of the prison tower was great! Views were amazing.
The condition this fortress is in, is unbelievably good.
Definitely get the funicular train to the top, it's excellent.
Could do with better sign posting to help you get around better and maybe some more staff on site, so we can ask questions.
Overall, a brilliant experience and well worth doing.

The castle features a lot of stuff: from sightseeing at the top of the keep tower, to how peasants were imprisoned in the dungeon and how the castle was built, history around it and a museum.
This has been a big dose of history for me, so for any enthusiasts out there looking to learn a bit of history during their trip, i totally recommend this place.

A place full of history. A castle that was never conquered. Several stages of time and many stages of tools and weapons. The view is amazing and it is very organized. You need plenty of time to see everything and it deserves. I really enjoyed and visited everything, however I haven’t read everything as this will make you spend a full day there. It is a must see place in Salzburg.

What an amazing medieval castle perched above the city of Salzburg. There's a free guided walking tour in the morning for a bit of history and to get your bearings of the castle. There are many exhibitions and useful information around the castle. There's a spectacular view of the city and make sure you don't miss the organ which plays everyday at set times.

I spent €10.80 on a basic ticket. It is a "must visit" attraction if you are interested in taking photos. But if you are interested in history if the fortress, you may find a bit disappointed with the description as some of them are in German only.

We used the funicular to get up as it was a very hot day. Great views over the city and an interesting walk around the fortress. We ate at the panorama restaurant at the top of the funicular and the food was delicious. It suddenly became very, very windy just as we sat down to eat which of course, stopped not long after we finished our food!
We had the Salzburg card so admission was free.

An imposing structure that sits proud above Salzburg. We spent a very pleasant hour ambling around the outer portions of the building. We did not try the museums as we were running late, but just walking around was interesting, and they had some fun little diversions around that the kids could try. There were some stunning views across the city to the mountains, and weaving and winding stairs and corridors. We took the funicular railway up and down (which in itself was fun) and added to the experience.

We visited this place on a Tuesday morning. We took the bahn to reach the fort. The entry was free because we had Salzburg card. It was not crowded in the morning, with time there was lot of people. It was an interesting place and has a great view of the city. The staff inside the place were very helpful and guided us well and also made us register for contract tracing. There is also washroom in the place which is well maintained. I would definitely recommend visiting this place.

Very different fortress, as big as a village itself. The carriage ride to take us to the castle on top of the mountain was a fun part itself. The original palace goes back to 370 AD. The castle has been extended and renovated many times trough history. There are magnificent royal room on top of the castle. Worth visiting for sure.

It definitely exceeded my expectations. I have not been everywhere inside, but I can assure you that the castle is really big. Most of all, I was struck from different sides of the site and beautiful views. If you are interested in seeing the whole of Salzburg, then this is definitely here. Also inside there is a considerable castle courtyard.

Good views and interesting history around how the castle was made. There's a funicular up and down and you pretty much need the full ticket with all the add-ons to experience the castle fully.

The castle is very pretty, panoramic views are highlights of the tour. The history of Salzburg described well with the model demonstrations. Funicular tickets to be purchased at the start, which serves the round trip. Best to visit during morning time as the number of visitors are less, can spend around an hour or 2 exploring castle.

Must visit in Salzburg. The funicular was short but still fun. The view from the fortress is marvelous and it gives you a good perspective of the city of Salzburg. The place also has a museum, view tower and some restaurants. Overall it was a fun EXPERIENCE and educational.

The fortress is spectacular. It dominates the city from afar and as you get closer you realize how massive it is.
Loved the ramparts walk, the museums. The view from atop is just breathtaking especially on a clear day. You can see the Alps surrounding Salzburg and a cool view on the city as well.
The fenicular is included in the entry price, so you can ride down to the city after the visit.
I recommend hiking up, using the trails from the north side.

This is a must if you're visiting Salzburg. The fortress is one of the most characteristic places in the city.
It is very well preserved, with a lot of museums and rooms to visit. It also offers an amazing view above the city.
I really enjoyed the many snippets and videos scattered around the place. They provided a lot of historical anecdotes and gave us some glimpses of life back in the middle ages.
You can reach the fortress with a funicular or on foot. I recommend walking up there only if you have the endurance for it. The trail is quite steep at times.
I also recommend booking the tickets in advance online. There are always a lot of people going there and having already the tickets drastically reduces the wait in line.

It's worth visiting this fortress. There's so much you can see here and learn more about the history of Austria. The views from the fortress are breathtaking. The entry fee is €18 per person. After you have bought the ticket, you can take the shuttle train to get to the fortress.

Great place to visit. What they don't tell you until you climb the big hill to get there is that it costs to just get in the grounds. Its worth it just for the views though to be honest gazing over the alps especially during sunset was lovely.
I would recommend a visit if in Salzburg for a stay.
Philip O'Mahony — Google review
Easy to spend 1.5-2 hours here. The views are spectacular, and museums mostly good.
State Rooms: They are beautiful (particularly ceilings and walls), but I hadn’t realized there were only 3 rooms to see. Interesting but only took 5 minutes to see.
Main museum: An interesting mix of general history and historical life, but found the super basic English signs to be distracting. (They sound as if they were written for 5 or 6 year olds.)
Regimental Museum: An interesting 6-8 rooms on military history in Salzburg given the regiment based there, particularly focusing on 1800-1918.
Marionette museum: Two rooms with about puppets with signs in English, German, and Italian. Cute but in and out in 5 minutes.
Purchasing tickets is easy either online or in person, the this ticket will need to be scanned before entering the funicular and various museums at the top.
Toilets were quite clean in/near museums.
Cafe: Service wasn’t great whilst waiting but nice to have option.

This castle is beautiful enough to be said to be artistic. We can not only know the architecture of that time, but we can also know the culture of that time by seeing the castle and the building of castle. We can enjoy a meal, looking at the downtown of Salzburg from the restaurant in the castle. I recommend that you enjoy it with enough time.
Salzburg Cathedral is a large, ornate Baroque-style church that is known for its 5 pipe organs, medieval font where Mozart was baptized, and majestic facade. Salzburg Cathedral is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Salzburg and is located in the heart of the city.
The Salzburg Cathedral is absolutely amazing from inside and outside! This Cathedral is recognized as a World Heritage Site by Unesco. The architectural details in this building is amazing! When you are visiting this place make sure you pay attention to all the small intricate details inside the cathedral. If you are in Salzburg it's a must stop place to visit!

Its marvel just simply cannot be put into words. It's beauty, solemnity, and ~1300 year old history is something you shouldn't miss while in Salzburg. There's usually a €5 conservation fee. Tours, mass with music, and other events are also available for a richer experience.

The most important place of worship in Salzburg! To access it you need to pay 5€ (it is free if you are under 18). I don't think anyway that the ticket is worth it, you can just appreciate it even from the outside, hoping that your view will be different as mine!!

Stunning and beautiful place, the artwork throughout is wonderful. If you have an interest in architecture and/art, then visit this Cathedral. However, our second visit was to enjoy the well advertised 30 minute Midday Music session for just 6 Euros per person, and unfortunately, it was a disappointment. The idea is to demonstrate the many organs (5) culminating in the massive main organ. The religious readings far exceeded the music, and only about 10 minutes was actually played. We like HUNDREDS of others who attended did not seem that impressed. Shame, it was good while I lasted.

A masterpiece of Baroque architecture, the Salzburg Cathedral stands as a testament to the city's rich religious heritage. With its majestic façade, awe-inspiring dome, and ornate interior adorned with works by renowned artists like Johann Michael Rottmayr, this sacred edifice offers a glimpse into the region's cultural and artistic legacy.
Tips: Arrive early to avoid crowds and ensure a peaceful visit. Don't miss the opportunity to climb the tower for a stunning panoramic view of Salzburg. Consider attending a classical music concert held within the cathedral to experience the venue's remarkable acoustics.

Must visit when in Salzburg. Magnificent church in the old town near mozartplatz. You have to pay 5euro to enter or do a 9euro noon time music inside the church. The intricate design of the ceiling and wall painting is very specular. Take your time walking around the church to see all its splendors. Remember to check the crypt at the basement.

La cathédrale Saint-Rupert de Salzbourg est de style baroque.
C'est dans cette cathédrale qu'a eu lieu le baptême de Mozart.
La voûte est très haute et l'entrée est impressionnante. L'édifice a subi un bombardement en 1944 et la reconstruction, même réussie, ne passe pas totalement inaperçue.
Néanmoins Ia visite s'impose lorsque l'on visite le centre de Salzbourg.

The St. Rupert Cathedral in Salzburg is Baroque in style.
It was in this cathedral that Mozart’s baptism took place.
The vault is very high and the entrance is impressive. The building was bombed in 1944 and the reconstruction, even successful, did not go completely unnoticed.
However, the visit is essential when visiting the center of Salzburg.

The cathedral is beautiful, with very exquisite ceilings and an unusual four organs in the four column corners up front. The crypt is ok though not tons to see. I wish there was a little more information or history around given the €5 entry, but is still probably worth a stop if in Salzburg.

One of the highlights of Salzburg, the cathedral is glorious although not quite in the highest tier of Catholic cathedrals. Never the less, if you're in Salzburg there is absolutely no excuse not to visit and spend the better part of an hour taking in the neoclassical splendour. The line for entry can get rather long - I popped into the nearby Franziskanerkirche for a while and came back a half hour later and it was shorter. Still, I doubt you're going to get in without some line.

Salzburg Cathedral, also known as Dom zu Salzburg, is a majestic symbol of architectural beauty and religious significance in the heart of Salzburg, Austria. As you approach its grand façade, you're immediately struck by the awe-inspiring presence of this historic landmark. The interior is equally breathtaking, with ornate decorations, magnificent frescoes, and stunning stained glass windows that fill the space with light and color. Whether you're admiring the intricate details of the Baroque architecture or attending a service to experience the uplifting music and spiritual atmosphere, Salzburg Cathedral offers a profound sense of reverence and wonder. As one of the city's most iconic attractions, it's a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Salzburg's rich cultural heritage and timeless beauty.

Mirabell Palace is a baroque palace in the Neustadt district of Salzburg, Austria. The site is notable for its Sound of Music scenes and its gardens which feature a famous fountain decorated with the wings of Pegasus.
Just wow! This place is truly gorgeous!! I strongly believe indeed it is the most beautiful monument you can find in Salzburg! I don't know if you can access the palace itself, but even just the garden is truly spectacul! What I couldn't really understand, since you have to pay to access the other monuments in the city, this one is completely FREE...

We only briefly walked through the gardens here bit it was still quite a beautiful spot. If you've got time in Salzburg then definitely go visit, but if you're limited on time don't worry about missing it. On the plus side it's on the way to the fortress from the train station, so don't use the tram, walk through the gardens here instead, it's not a long walk.

Even in early spring, the gardens are well cared for and beautifully maintained. The view from the palace toward the fortress is an iconic shot you must get in Salzburg.

The palace garden is beautiful, and very big. There are plenty of hidden areas so make sure you don't miss anything, because it is worth it! My favourite part was a botanical room with turtles and birds in it. You'll know you're near if you hear the birds chirping.

Not quite the best palace of them all. Didnt go inside as it all seemed closed. The gardens outside were well kept but uninspiring. I suspect this was simply due to it being Feburary.
It was worth the slight detour on the way to old town.
Salzburg and area has alot of beatuful building but not sure that this needs to be at the top of your list.

Absolutely gorgeous gardens. The entry to the palace and gardens are free. I went on Sunday and couldn't access the palace. However I had been to concert a day earlier and got to see the staircase and marble room which were nice.

The Herrenchiemsee New Palace is a grand structure located on the island of Herreninsel in Bavaria. Built in 1878 and modeled after the Versailles palace, it was created as a tribute to absolutist monarchy. Ludwig II, its founder, spent very little time here and made it more as an expression of his romantic ideas and imagination than as a residence. The palace's design reflects Ludwigs' obsessions with romanticism while being typical of his creations.
It was a very beautiful environment, quiet nomatter the population.

Visit here around end of july 2022. Beautiful palace and gardens, 25 min walk or 15 min horse drawn carriage ride from boat. Museum for Ludwig II inside the palace. Also a nice restaurant. I love the castle and it’s worth visiting. Even just walking around outside in the park is amazing.
The walk from the ferry dock was not strenuous but on a warm day could leave one sweating. There is an ice cream stand near the end of the trail for those needing a cool indulgence.
The palace is rich with history, you will enjoy it with a guided tour. The cafe offers varieties of drinks with limited food selection. The fountains in front of the palace and sculptures in and around the palace are impressive and you can stand and admire for longer time.

They say the journey is more exciting than the destination, Neues Schloss Herrenchiemsee is an ideal example. It starts with a boat ride beside Chiemsee Lake with crystal blue water. You can take your boat to reach the destination and enjoy the scenic view of a dream house and the islands inside the lake. Once you reach the castle don't get astounded by the beautiful sculptures and exquisite rooms built by King Ludwig 2. Take a ticket to roam inside the castle under guidance and explore the museum inside the same building. Behind the castle, a green lawn bounded by trees narrows down towards the sea assembling an aesthetic view.

Great place to visit for a few hours to see the palace and the grounds or a full day if you also want to stroll around the island. The ferry ride to and from the island is decently quick, and the palace tour, which we did not do, is around 40 minutes or so. The grounds are beautifully maintained and peaceful, and the fountains run on a timer about every 15 or so minutes, so it is worth taking your time to enjoy the scenery.

One day is not enough if you want to combine it with a big walk.

Weltenburg Abbey is a historical monastery that was established in the 600s. It boasts one of the world's earliest monastic breweries and a restaurant. The church in this abbey is stunning, with breathtaking wall and ceiling paintings. Visitors can enjoy an introduction to the architecture and history of the church by a German-speaking guide.
Beautiful church, the wall and ceiling paintings are breathtaking. I was speechless. There was a lady introducing the architecture and history of the church in German (yeah, unfortunately) but all in all, it's worthy to visit

The monastery "Kloster Weltenburg" is very easy to reach by boat from Kelheim. A five-minute walk from the pier.
You enter the monastery courtyard through a large gate.
Opposite you can see some monastery buildings and the monastery church. The beer garden serves excellent monastery beer and hearty food.
A small ferry takes you to the opposite bank, from where you can return to Kelheim on foot or by bike.
A must see, when you visiting the region.

Last time I was here was 20years ago definitely alot more people come here now then back then. I don't recommend the big boat it's crowded and not nearly as nice as hiking through the forest trails you encounter very few ppl and the hike is beautiful as the forest is old and has little bits of history within to discover. There is a small boat called Zille that will take us across the river for alot less $$ this same boat will also take you half way down the river on the way back to access a different trail. Weltenburg itself is a beautiful monastery beer is great food is good to but it's def become a tourist place it's not as good as it used to be. Church is still very beautiful.

Weltenburg Abbey
Visited on 23/9/2019
Our coach is parked at the foothill, and our group is transferred to smaller buses to the Abbey.
Weltenburg is the oldest monastery in Bavari, situated near the entrance to the scenic Danube gorge. The church, dedicated to St George, within the compound is of baroque style. In fact, the guest house run by the Abbey is called the St George Guesthouse.
The aroma of the cakes baking the in oven is too irresistible, and attract us to check out cafe.
The abbey brewery is the oldest abbey brewery still in operation in the world, and the products are on sale. My friend buys a 5 litre Keg of Weltenburger Kloster Anno 1050 beer intends to be drunk when we depart Germany in a few days time.
We then take a stroll along the river bank at the far end of the compound.

Visiting the world's oldest operating brewery and monastery is a worthwhile and underrated joy. The well-preserved church building has some amazing metalwork, sculpture, and painting to rival the most well-known cathedrals in Europe. The biergarten was wonderful, with great service, delicious food, and outstanding beer. There are plenty of places to relax and be at peace or sit with family and enjoy. The museum is small, and the brewery tours are usually booked out. Dog friendly paths and at the biergarten. Did not see wheelchair accessibility everywhere or to the church entrance.

Weltenburg Abbey is a hidden gem! Its 1000-year-old charm, stunning interiors, and breathtaking paintings are awe-inspiring. Don't miss the river cruise and nearby walking trails. Relax by the scenic river shore. A perfect retreat!

Beautiful place to visit. There is a nice hiking area. The church is very old and very beautiful. The Biergarten has a nice bier on tap. Food was just ok, but bier must try. There is a nice well priced gift store. You can take a boat right from there. Parking is about 5-10 min walk from the place €4.50 all day.

Beautiful abbey secluded on the Danube river. Church built in Baroque style and architecture and paintings done by brothers... who put themselves into the art at the dome. See if you can find them!

What a great day trip. Walking a lot the Danube and get a beer! This hike is nice along the Danube. There is an incline that was difficult for some in our party, but very doable. Crossing the river to get to the monastery is about 2€. And the boat ride back to town is about €9. Enjoyable day

I don't know what I can add that hasn't already been posted. A thousand-year-old. Abby is something you want to visit. The museum isn't very big but the cathedral is awesome. And if you like beer even a little bit this is a place to have one!
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations in Probstheida neighbourhood is a huge temple of death commemorating the 1813 battle when Austrian, Russian, Swedish and Prussian forces came together to defeat Napoleon. The imposing memorial site features carvings, statues and inscriptions and reflects its reflection in the lake of tears.
Beautiful, but must take ~320 steps to reach to the top of the building, the path and steps can be narrow.
But you can get a good town view from the top.
Must visit landmark while you in Leipzig:)
We went on a weekend just right after opening at 10am- less crowded & peacefully explored, around 11-12pm we saw big crowd coming.

If you're in the area and interested in history - visit this one!
It cost me 10€ entry, and then I headed inside. There's a lift, but if you want to truly see everything, you cannot avoid the stairs. Overall there are about 500 of them, but as I combined lift with stairs, I climbed about 250, I guess.
The view from the top is nice, but the one from the Panorama Tower in the city is way better.

I enjoyed this monument more than I thought I would. The big statues reminded me of ancient statues. The acoustics inside are pretty good. The whole experience is maze-like, going up the narrow stairways. The views at the top are great. Remember to get your ticket below, before you climb the stairs to the entrance.

One of the best places I have ever visited, so breathtaking and ancient. And the museum is so beautiful but the thing that's most beautiful about this place is the view from the top of the monument, absolutely otherworldly.
Sujata Dey — Google review
Very beautiful. Paying just €10 (€8 for students) you can go up to the very top of the monument climbing 500 steps in narrow spaces, the tiring way is totally worth it the view! Furthermore you can enter in the museum nearby and see ancient exhibits from the battle of nations.

I liked the museum very much. Leipzig is a must-see museum. It is a very impressive and explanatory museum. Germany's confrontation with its war history has been very effective. He should learn such lessons. I recommend it to anyone who visits Leipzig. It is a worth seeing place. The interior of the monument should definitely be visited. If you want to capture beautiful photo frames, I recommend you to visit it in the afternoon.

Very peaceful to visit. It feels like a very secular monument to the Prussian people who endured Napoleon’s invasion. It take peace time to build such a monument. Unfortunately the peace time would not last with the start of World War 1 and the damage is from World War 2.
In the United States we are letting our World War 1 monuments crumble and allowing capitalism to take over our sense of duty. A concept most Americans can not grasp, but something Germans understand. This is a place of mourning but today it is a place to enjoy life with families.

This monument is in a beautiful, historical location and is still incredibly large and well-kept. You are welcome to go there and explore it with your friends and family. Visit on a sunny day.

very nice monument with stunning view on top although it is a tiring climb, you could use a lift but you still have to climb about 150 steps of stairs to reach the top. there is also a museum next to it which is included in the ticket.

I must say the monument was very impressive. Entrance was 10 euros with an extra 2 euros for the audio guide. I would recommend that you take the audio guide as it gives you so much more information. The audio guide is available in English. There are 350 plus steps to get to the top but the views of Leipzig are spectacular. The museum covers the battle itself. This is where the audio guide really does come into it's own. It gives a view from the people that lived in Leipzig at the time of the battle and explains some of the exhibits and the reason for the battle. We spent approximately 3 hours here and another 40 minutes at cafe at the other end of the monument

One of the representative symbol of Leipzig. The height is 91 meters and it is most biggest monument in the Europe.
The closer I got to it, the more overwhelmed I was by its size and impact.
You can enter inside of the monument by 10€ per person.
On the top of the monument, you can see the overview of Leipzig. It is really amazing.
There are total 500 step to the top viewing platform.On the other hand, the elevator is settled in the monument and you can access by 2/3 height of monument easily.
Last 50 steps of top floor is too narrow to pass through each other. Please take care and go up without haste.
(History of this monument)
This monument was constructed for Prussia and allied forces wining Napoleon's French army at Leipzig.
This war is one of the most important battles and histrionical turning point of finishing the domination of Germany by French empire.

One of the fifteen national monuments referred to as "Denkmals" this is the largest although in this authors opinion not the most impressive. Although it is impressive. If you come to Leipzig this is absolutely a must see.
Jesper Br?ns-Poulsen — Google review
A great place to see historical moments from WWI ( weapons, uniforms and buildings) which happened in Leipzig, and for sure the most that we loved about this place was the top of the building that shows the whole city around! It was breathtaking and deserves a visit!
Daniel Saada — Google review
It’s a huge architecture for a monument. A monument backed with German nationalist motivation while it was built but it’s least been memorialized now and people are more looking at the architecture.
It’s possible to get to middle viewing floor with two different lifts but the top observation deck is only accessible by very narrow and long stairs.
Timothy En Haw Chan — Google review
Very impressive building. The sheer scale of it is breathtaking. If you want to make it to the top viewing platform, be prepared for narrow staircases because the elevator does NOT go all the way to the top.
This is one of those monuments where the focus has shifted from what it commemorates to the monument itself. Most people visit it to see the building and admire its architectural design rather than think about the event for which it was built.
Wouter van de Ridder — Google review
Absolutely stunning place!!!
A place that I recommend to visit from the bottom of my soul.
Read a bit about this place before you go to visit!!!
You don't need to book yourself, and you dont need a guide, only tickets that cost approximately 10 euros per person.
The interior is something special, with an amazing view on the whole city.
The elevator is not going all the way up, and the staircase is narrow . Be ready!

The tallest standing monument of Europe signifies the battle between Napoleon against the troops from Prussia, Austria and Sweden. The colossal monument is around 15-20min ride from the central station. To go on top you need tickets.

Monumental place with really majestic sculptures. You can go to the very top, just that the staircase is very narrow.
Few of the exhibitions were behind closed doors.

impressive, but grey mastodont. Nice trip out of the city centre. Do no hesitate to go inside.
Laurens Miedema — Google review
We didn't get to go inside because of lack of time but it was really cool to see even from the outside. Something that looks so out of place in a European setting. Amazingly built. You do have to climb a bunch of stairs to go up to the main floors...for those who are physically disabled. But I think there is an elevator somewhere inside.
Leipzig Hauptbahnhof is a monstrous train station with over 300 meters of facade, and it's also home to a number of shops, cafes, and grocery markets. The station is one of the largest in the world by floor area, making it an ideal spot for shopping.
Leipzig Hauptbahnhof is a bustling transportation hub that seamlessly blends historic architecture with modern amenities. Its impressive design, efficient layout, and numerous shops and restaurants make it a convenient and enjoyable place to travel through. However, it can get quite busy at peak times, so be prepared for crowds. Overall, it's a well-maintained and functional station that serves as a gateway to Leipzig and beyond.

At the same time, it's noisy, it's crowded. Well, it's a railway station after all.

So far the nicest Bahnhof I've seen in Germany, always busy with people passing through and people just coming to shop. As it houses so many great stores to shop in over 3 levels with so many things to see and amazing food options. You can't come to leipzig without seeing it as it is the main train station. Even made more lovely around Christmas or as they say Weinachten, as lots more food stalls open up.

The largest in Europe.. 😍 Best train station I have been! 👌 With multiple railways and connecting Trips to offer.. A Subway can also be found in this big trainstation... And no worry for having a long connecting Trips, a mall is also within the Station. Various Restaurants and Shops available..

Very spacious, you get a variety of things, highly recommended.
The zoo Leipzig is one of the oldest and most modern zoos in Europe. It boasts a large variety of animals from 850 different species, all in naturalistic habitats. In addition to its animal exhibits, the zoo has conservation programs to help protect endangered species.
The zoo was beyond my expectations! It is definitely one of the best things to do in Leipzig after the self ride boating experience. The zoo has all kinds of animals from bears, lions, monkeys, chimps, aquarium, giraffe, Zebra, Rhino, tropical rainforest experience to most of the well known and a few almost extinct animals one would want to see.
The ticket was 22 euros per person which is definitely worth the money. Plan to spend at least 4-5 hours in the zoo. If you are an animal enthusiast then you might need minimum 5-6 hours
Murugan muthukrishnan — Google review
Beautiful Zoo.
It was a rainy day. Perfect because it wasn too crowded.
Parking: The best place to park is in the parking garage directly opposite the entrance. Good and not too expensive.
Food: Everywhere in the zoo there is the possibility to eat and drink something. I can recommend the restaurant at the giraffe enclosure with a view of giraffes and zebras.
The large cafe is really big and tastes very good.
I recommend to take some water with you because the prices for food and drink are sometimes high

Definitely worthy of visiting. Don't regret the decision at all. The aquarium was wonderful. Saw most of the animals as we sticked to the route on map. The boat trip was out of the world experience and was worth 2 euros more. Overall a happy feeling to have visited here.
Sweta Thakur — Google review
Probably the best zoo in Europe. Since my first visit, they have been improving the older parts of the zoo and now it's almost fully renewed with modern enclosures.
It can be very crowded, even on workdays.
Themed areas are correct and well balanced, not looking too artificial or like a theme park.
Don't miss the pangolins at the underground floor of the elephant house ;)
Xavier Bayod — Google review
Leipzig Zoo has a decent variety of animals, and some exhibits were enjoyable. However, my experience was not so good as several animals were missing during my visit. Moreover, the food prices were very high and the overall atmosphere felt too crowded. Improvement in these areas would significantly enhance the visitor experience.
As per my experience the aquarium and Tropical world were amazing ....
Faisal Qayyum — Google review
Although a small number of animals could understandably not be seen in the outdoor enclosures due to the cold and snowy winter weather, the beautifully and creatively laid out zoo still contained a much wider variety of species to see than I had anticipated. A wholly enjoyable experience, even in 'off season'.

One forgets within 30 minutes that they are in the city or even in a zoo. If the visiting route is followed, you will have the most enjoyable trip. Gondwanaland must be visited both by walking and by boat. You can bring food and drink with you, there are enough suitable places. There is a great transportation and parking place, whether by car or by bus, train or tram. Right across the entrance door, you can also lock your bike next to the closed parking lot. In the zoo, which consists of 6 different concepts, you really live every part of it to the fullest. The most beautiful zoo I've ever seen. Especially in the tropical park, a boat tour should be done.

I was incredibly impressed with this zoo. I’ve been to multiple zoos in North America and Australia and this one was the most impressive. I couldn’t get over how incredible the tropical building was, and just how BIG it was! The prices were also very reasonable, and food inside was not too overly expensive. I could easily have spent an entire day just exploring half of this wonderful zoo.

Fantastic! We were getting in very fast with our online tickets. It's better to print out. The whole zoo was great. Plenty extra attractions for kids too. Boat ride was amazing as well. We had a great time. Easily needed 6,5 hours. At the moment the Aquarium is closed due to renovation. We are definitely going to come back.
Eszter Moln?r — Google review
The layout and theming of this zoo is excellent and at times it felt more like a theme park (especially in Gondwanaland). Food prices and availability is good, even on a busy day, and the enclosures are far more creative than places like Berlin. Admittedly we did struggle to see some of the animals at times, particularly the monkeys who were hidden in their huge enclosures. I’ll definitely go back, though next time not on a public holiday.
Tom Beck — Google review
Our family spent the day at the Zoo! It was such a wonderful time! Walking through Gondwanaland was a highlight! Definitely recommend checking it out! :)
The only negative thing is, on crowded days, the pathways are so narrow that it makes for a bit of closterfobic experience (especially the path through Pongoland). Other than feeling packed in, we had a great time there!
Alex Lawrence — Google review
Nice Zoo Garden very accesibile, just a short walk from Center. I visited it a few years back and I liked it more then. Maybe now it has more fast food places and less animals, or maybe they were just hidden or taking a break. Plenty of space for animals, very natural environment and you have to be lucky to be in the right place and the right time to see the animals. I liked also the Amazonian place. Enjoyed Leipzig, clean and full of nice places to see. Good food and drinks. Zoo and parks are a big plus.
Adi Robescu — Google review
The Leipzig Zoo is truly an amazing place to visit. It’s not just big; it’s incredibly expansive, offering a wide variety of animal exhibits and attractions to explore. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast or just looking for a fun day out with family or friends, this zoo has something for everyone.
One piece of advice I’d like to share is that if you plan to visit more than once or think you might return in the future, it’s definitely worth considering an annual pass. Buying a yearly ticket can be more cost-effective than paying for admission on a per-day basis, especially if you want to take your time to fully enjoy everything the zoo has to offer. It’s a great way to support the zoo and ensure you can return whenever you please.

My highlight of the zoo is the tropical boat trip. Highly recommended, it's only 2€per person. You feel like you are in the tropical rainforest, and the sound of nature is unbelievable. There is a small tree bridge to walk above to see overall of this jungle. Also a nice restaurant for you to sit and relax and be with nature hearing birds and other animals. Other parts of the zoo are very nice too, especially the big restaurant where you can see the animals walking around you.

Leipzig Zoo wasn't just a zoo visit, it was a tropical escape! The meticulously landscaped tropical gardens transported me to rainforests teeming with life. The boat trip for 2 euros was an absolute must, offering a tranquil journey.
While food options were limited. Though I missed the vibrant world of parrots, the aquarium was a stunning spectacle.
Overall, Leipzig Zoo was a diverse and exciting adventure, especially for those who love the tropics. The tropical gardens were the star, offering a unique and immersive experience. Highly recommended!

The Leipzig Zoo is great.
There is a wide variety of animals from all over the world.
In addition to the animals, there are other attractions such as guided walks and children's games.
I was fascinated that the Zoo was divided into different regions of the world.
The House of the Wannsee Conference was where Nazi leaders planned the extermination of European Jewry. The villa now functions as a memorial museum.
It is rare to find historical sites of nazis nowadays in Germany. Definitely worth to visit, the entry is free.

A most remarkable place to visit that tells the story of a passage of history that must never be forgotten and not be allowed to be repeated.
It remains a concept of the utmost difficulty to conceive, that fifteen men could get together for a meeting the outcome of which was the "final solution".
Our visit was made all the more poignant by a missed phone call I had during our visit: it was from a friend, a gentleman in his 90s who left Vienna in the late 1930's on the kindertransport.

Such a beautiful setting for one of the worlds most horrific meetings. To see the pages of the original Wannsee protocol is chilling

This place is where I was very much able to appreciate the talent of German documentation!
The display was well explained and very well organised.
One can use the free show (which we were told was more updated compared to their audioguide) and was it well made!
The stories of the Jewish victims will surely give one the chills.
I would surely like to know more such displays to understand the psyche of the perpetrators and the plight of the victims.
Must visit!
The staff deserves a shout-out for being great hosts!

I didnt know about this place until I saw it on a history trip itinerary. I learnt a lot, it was quite overwhelming and shocking to think that men had sat in that place and discussed the removal of at least 11,000,000 people from the world.

The place is almost completely void of any contemporary interior. That leaves a lot of room for an intense exhibition about what actually was set in motion then, its prologue and how almost every participant got away with little to no consequences whatsoever.

If you’ve seen the film “Conspiracy” starring Kenneth Branagh, then this house is a must-see!
Aside from that, it’s off the beaten path, but easy enough to get to by train from Berlin. There’s a bus that shuttles from the station to the house every fifteen minutes or so, I’d highly recommend taking it.
You can expect to spend about an hour here. Easy enough to make it a stop on your way to Potsdam.

However, the exhibit is a bit sad but it's a good way to learn about history unfiltered.
Samantha Joy Cinco — Google review
This was a really great little preservation museum. It's incredibly difficult to make an engaging museum or if entirely text and no physical non-document material, but they did a good job. The main exhibition was very good, and the design was clever and we'll executed, particularly the room in which the conference was actually held. The gorgeous scenery of Wansee doesn't detract from the intensity of the history there, in fact, it almost makes it more real, seeing how beautiful the town and views are. Of course this is where such high ranking officials would meet. In addition, the temporary exhibition on rescued library materials in the upstairs was very nice. I didn't have the time or inclination to do any reading it research in the library upstairs, but it all seemed accessible and well preserved. It's odd to rate such things, but for a small museum preserving the memory of one monumental event, you couldn't do much better.
