Great central location, great service. The staff were very responsive to help us with any issues. The room is compact and comfortable. The kitchen is a bit of a tight squeeze but is well equipped.
Eleanor Thomas — Google review
Great location and great price. Everything you'd need. The bedroom is separate to the main room and it has a kitchenette, it is centrally located too with a large choice of bars and restaurants close by. Even though they are close we never had any noise problems. I don't think I would go back to Ljubljana again as I think I have experienced everything it has to offer but if I did go back I would stay here again.

U will not find a better location for a city tour. Great starting place for exploring the city, especially old town. Yet, noise levels at night are very low. No problem getting sleep here. We had Appartment 2 - it had everything we hoped for.

The bridges are linked by stairways on each side, giving easy access to the riverbank's lush gardens and historic buildings.
Caves are stunning as well as Predjamski castle. Shuttle bus to the castle start at 10am although castle is open from 9am. Timetable isn't on the web site.

TICKET OFFICE FOR THE POSTOJNA CAVE. YOU CAN PAY FOR YOUR PARKING AHEAD WHEN YOU BUY YOUR TICKETS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT WHEN YOU EXIT.
Marcos Westphalen — Google review
Very efficient, especially if you book ahead online (highly recommended to save time).
Zoltan Liptak — Google review
An epic tourist attraction from ticket office sales, to the commentated cave experience and subsequent retail options.
Predjama Castle, located 9km from Postojna in Europe, is an impressive fortress that was built within a cave on the side of a 123m cliff. The castle's four storeys were constructed gradually over the years starting from 1202, but the majority of what can be seen today dates back to the 16th century. Its location and design make it appear impenetrable and it features restored living quarters as well as dungeons and even a secret tunnel.
Predjama castle is located approximately 15-minute drive from the highway E61 and 10 minutes from the Postojna Caves, so it is convenient to visit both in the same day. We purchased combined ticket (Castle+Caves) for approx. 40 EUR per person. Parking was not difficult to find, however we arrived relatively late at around 16:30 (castle was closing at 17:00), so I imagine during the peak hours the situation might be different.
There are no guided tours inside the castle, instead you get an audio guide (included in the ticket price) which was available in many languages (at least 15). The explanations were helpful, straight to the point and relatively short, so for me that was one of the best audio guide experience. It took us around 45 minutes to properly explore the castle. Normally castle is open until 17:00 but we were leaving the premises at around 17:15 and no one was pushing us out.
It does indeed look magnificent as almost the whole castle is covered by huge rock. You get to explore many different rooms, some of them looking more like caves and others like actual livable rooms. There are some nice viewing points of the valley at several terraces located in the castle. It is definitely worth to visit as there are not many "cave castles" around the world!
There are couple of restaurants in the proximity of the castle and restrooms near the parking lot.

Touring this castle was one of my favorite activities on a two week adventure that was filled with amazing sights. Different from other castles. The self-regulated audio tour is important in understanding the history of the castle.

Very unique castle built into a cave. Audio tour gives interesting details as you walk through the castle. Easy to do the tour at your own pace
Ron Huber — Google review
Very interesting castle and history with the included audio guide. There's a decent amount of walking up stairs and through the rooms, but it's evenly spaced with audio guide sections which are numbered to listen. The parking is average an consists of a paved area with about 50 bays. After this fills up, you park in a grassed marshy paddock which is a bit hard to get in and out once more people start coming. Other than that, good castle but make sure you get there early

Absolutely beautiful castle surrounded by stunning scenery. It has a fascinating history.
I recommend coming early because it can quickly get crowded. Also bring a hoodie and good shoes as it can get cold and slippery in the castle.
There is a free audio guide app that is essential to the experience. You can download it near the entrance as there is free wifi for just that.
Nikola Predovan — Google review
Great looking castle with a really nice audio guide included in the price and with a free app if you don't want to hold guide by your ear al the time. The guide really gives a nice value as it points a lot of interesting solutions they used in the castle to use the rock and Cave merging with the castle

Incredible!! For those who like historical places and medieval stuff, this place offer all of this!
We were surprised by the place and the high level of preservation shown.
Even the kids - that were naturally skeptical of the place - in the end had so much fun and appreciated very much the place, with the support of the audio guide!

This is just an amazing castle …. A dream place full of adventures and surprises in side … bring comfortable shoes and with some grip this place is natural wet … there is not lifts…. The castle is full of hidden corners that takes you to a nice natural cave. You need a car or a tourist bus to reach this place . You must pay for parking per hour. The castle is in the world Guiness records of the largest castle built on a cave. They have audio Guia in many languages. People were polite and nice. You must reserve in advance tickets if you don’t want disappointments specially during summer time.

It was a great experience. I've never seen a castle inside of a cave. The history of it and the unique architecture that is part of it, are also great to listen to.
Hard to imagine life over there that time but they did it. If you are somewhere around just turn here and you won't regret it. Nearby is also a small local pub with some local stuff. Thank you🤩

Great experience visiting this historic castle. We got tickets at the door as we visited in low season but I would suggest reserving tickets online to make sure you do not miss out!
Shaun Attard Biancardi — Google review
Really nice castle built into the cave. The day we went was quite crowded and a bit overwhelming. However, this is not something you want to miss if you’re in town. Here you are given a self guided audio tour, offered in many languages. The castle itself is well curated, but be careful because the stair cases that are connected to the cave part of the castle are very slippery and many people fell. It’s best to go slow and hold on to the railing.
You can access this castle by taking the free bus. This bus comes from the train station - bus station - predjama caves - to the castle. Check the website for the times.
Grace Kotnik — Google review
One of the nicest castles i have visited. The castle is located inside of the rocks and that is truly a unique experience to see this. We had an audioguide and were very interested. In every room you can see old furniture, weapons and armour, ... At the end of the tour you'll go inside the rocks behind the castle. This was something i have never seen before. Really worth a visit. The lady in the gift shop was really friendly. (and there's a cat!!)
Aline Lefebvre — Google review
A truly amazing Castle with a beautiful view. It was very interesting listening to it’s history (they provide audio players). We bought tickets at the small shop when we arrived. If you visiting with babies make sure you have a carrier or just hold them. Lots of stairs (Castle is inside a cave basically). I cannot imagine living in those times in that Castle, it’s just amazing to picture everything in your head. If you are near by, make sure to make a stop here. Is worth the visit!
Hilarie Cruz — Google review
This medieval castle, which is the largest cave castle in the world, is still intact after 800 years. You'd wonder how they managed to attach a castle to a cave when cement, screws and drills hadn't been invented yet. I had an audio guide explaining different chambers/ rooms. Beware that there are many steps and uneven paths.

Stunning castle that is located in a cave and surrounded by a farming village. The place is definitely worth visiting when in Slovenia and takes an hour to get to from Ljubljana by bus. Worth noting a cab is needed from the Pastojna bus station to the castle. All the shops were closed as we went during off season.
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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

A wonderful place, a fairytale.
If you are in Slovenia or somewhere near, you should go there. Beautiful lake, nice castle and in the middle of the lake you have the only isle that Slovenia has. Only one but magical.

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.

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

Beautiful lake with amazing blue water. Rather smaller but still fascinating. We have visited it during early spring time with nice sunny weather which was added value. The little island in the middle is very picturesque and ideal for making photos. The best view is from higher point. Recommended.

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 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.

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.
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.

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.

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

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.

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 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!

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.

Beautiful gorge with expensive parking, 10€.
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.

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!

Nothing to complain about. Friendly staff, wonderful experience...just do it! 4 people can go at the same time and if you're in the vicinity, do try and check the availability in person, ignore the weather forecast or the website info. Maybe the waiting line was a bit bigger...I waited like 30m after I got equipped to actually ride and like another 30m for the coaster (but that is to be expected I guess). Also try the zip line + coaster...they go well together.

The Salzwelten Hallstatt is a salt mine museum located above the town of Hallstatt. It is known for its educational exhibits, including information about how salt is formed and the history of mining. The mine has deep shafts that date back to the Bronze Age, making them among the oldest in the world. Visitors can take a bilingual tour that goes into detail about these topics and even includes a ride on miners' slides, with one slide being 60m long.
I really enjoyed the museum and the tour of the salt mine. It was very informative and there's a lot to see inside. It's supposed to be the oldest salt mine in the world and the tour goes through all its history, from ancient times to modern days.
The slides and the short train ride are a nice touch and everyone has fun using them.

When visiting upper Austria and the lake Hallstatt area, this is a must do activity, visiting the oldest active salt mine in the world. The tour through is a great experience.
While waiting for the tour to start there is a cafe (snacks/finger food too) and bathroom in the building. The tour guide is friendly and is done in both German and English when going through. They are very knowledgeable as they explain about the salt mine, the mining process and it's history. There are a number of interactive visual experiences as you go through. It's really a well maintained and clean experience.
Take some warm clothes with you, you are given overalls to wear over your clothes, and a free locker to leave your belongings in before you enter the mine. Inside the mine was about 8 degrees Celsius.
We went as a family of 4 with 2 young kids 4 and 5, and they enjoyed it too. There are a couple slides and a train ride to finish it off.

Very particular place, standing on top of a hill, reachable via funicular (cost of the funicular and salt mine entrance = 36). There is a parking nearby the funicular Station. The tour of the mine takes 2 hrs. Better to go early, since there is always a queue. You are provided of special clothes to dress on top of yours. Then there is a walk to get into the tunnels and the caves areas, where a guide shows you how the salt is extracted. In a dedicated section a movie shows how in the prehistoric eve the salt was extracted. There are then two slides very funny to move from one area to another. Finally a train brings you back to the starting point. Highly recommended.

You need to take the cable car up here, otherwise it's a one hour up hill hike. At the time of writing (June 2023), the combined cable car and salt mine tour ticket costs EUR 40. I'd say in total we spent about 3 hours total for the mine and the viewing platform. The cable car takes you up hill to where the Hallstatt skywalk viewing platform is. There is also a restaurant and toilets there. From there to get to the mine you need to walk maybe 10 or 15 minutes up hill, a large part of it was very steep, I think it will be very very challenging if mobility is an issue.
The nearest car park is car park #2 and its a 5 min walk to the cable car station. We didn't prebook tickets because we had read online that car park #2 gets full easily and were worried that we wouldn't be able to find parking in time. In the end we arrived around 10am on a Friday and managed to find parking easily and only then bought tickets for the cable car and mine. Not sure what it's like on weekends.
The view from the skywalk viewing platform was pretty, although I don't think I'd say it's unmissable nor must see. Take a look at the photos below and decide for yourself. The platform is quite small and can get very busy as everyone is trying to take pictures from one single spot.
The visit to the mine a guided tour with two short slide rides. There is also a short mine train ride on the way out. The children will loved it. The tour itself consists mainly of a few videos telling you about the history of the mine. I like history so I found it quite interesting. Despite this I don't think I'd say that the salt mine is an unmissable attraction when visiting hallstatt.

Amazing and unique experience. Good guided tour. But there are lot of improvements to be made. There is about 600-800 meters uphill walk after the funicular, which is difficult for small children and elderly. Walking back and forth takes a lot of time and thus very less time and energy is left for enjoy the view at Welterbeblick. Secondly, there are lot of screens and visuals. Which is good in one aspect, but they should focus more on showing more real stuff, as it is the oldest operational salt mine.

Best day ever, unforgettable experience. We had so much fun make sure to arrive max 10 am to avoid waiting in lines. You will spend 1 hour and half there and you will enjoy the 2 slides and the train ride. Unforgettable day. We paid 40 euro with funicular ride well worth the price. It was very cold inside make sure to take your jacket with you or wear it under the costume. It was -10 degree in July. Very nice experience

My family came here a couple years ago and really enjoyed our tour. It's a bit of a trek up the hill to get to the entrance.
Because the tour goes pretty deep into caves they supply coveralls for everyone due to the cold. Once the tour started we got lots of information on the salt mine history. There are a couple slides to go down that bring you farther into the caves and then a train ride out. It was very cool!

In the beginning we thought not to go to the salt mine, because it did not sound very exciting. However, due to the cold weather we had in this day we decided to visit the mine, and it was a very good decision. The kids like it from the minute we entered the site. We got special white uniforms as the mine workers, and the tour was very interesting including a lot of explanations on the one side, and entertainment on the other side as movies and animations. We saw an underground, lake and cool demonstrations of many kinds of salts and minerals. We also used 2 nice slides inside the mine, and ended the tour on a fast adorable train.
There is a 15-20 min walking from the lift station to the mine which located in the top of the hill.

Pretty amazing experience. Very interesting history, I did not know before that salt mining goes back to 7000 BC in this area. Some good to know facts: the time you book online is the funicular ascent time, not the tour start. And you will not be allowed to take the funicular at an earlier time. So consider that. The tour goes pretty quickly I did not have time to listen to the audio guide. I am planning to listen tomorrow on my way to drive home.

It is worth paying €40 for the Kombi ticket, which includes a guided tour to the salt mine.
After the furnicular, plan another 10+ minutes of uphill walk to reach the meeting point for the guided tour.
During hot summer, bring additional warm jacket, as temperatures inside the salt mine are around 8°C.
The tour lasts 1h30min and is fun and informative, with a blend of action (slides and a train ride back to surface) and information (by tour guide and several places with videos in German with English subtitles).
You can pre-download their audio guide app on your phone, to get explanation in your language (the tour is only in German and English). You may also want to bring your own earphones to listen to the audio guide during the tour.

Very interesting place that you don't see very often... It is worth visit from the very beginning - the funicular that takes you up to the altitude of 838 metres almost vertically, with amazing views over the lake and the village.
Inside the mine (that goes considerably higher than the funicular's end point) there are little trains and huge slides that allowed miners to move swiftly from one cave to the the next one. You're given old cloths to keep you protected from the salt. Some interesting information on the historic context of the mines.
Jorge Bernardo — Google review
This place is totally worth the visit. The views you see from the top are breathtaking.
I highly recommend the salt mine tour, but here are my pros/cons:
Pros:
1. The guides are knowledgeable and funny
2. It’s an extremely interesting place to see how salt was mined throughout history and how it forms
3. Suitable for all ages
Cons:
1. You sit and watch many videos throughout the tour about history/methods/info that I found to be too long and boring. The guide can just explain it without us having to sit and watch. There was about 3-4 videos, some are in German and only subtitled in english.
2. You wear the miners uniform which is nice, and keeps your clothes safe underneath, but if you’re wearing a long jacket it’s going to be really uncomfortable.
It took us 90 minutes almost to finish the tour, in my opinion it should take not more than an hour without the videos.

Salzwelten a must try attraction in Hallstatt, only 3h away from Vienna.
The weather is Hallstatt is variable so go prepared and check the forecast before going there, the drive from Vienna to Hallstatt is easy meanly true highway and last bit true the villages, really nice drive so a must try.
The salt mine experience is a super worth the money one so strong recommend it as is the world oldest salt mine as well! At the ends of the tour you will get the chance to try 3types of salt too and they will gift you a little salt container for each participant as well.

The experience was awesome and I learnt so much about salt mining. They provide the necessary clothing to go into the mine. We also get to play the mine slide which was extremely fun. The only problem was there was too much people in one tour, and the guide need to speak in both German and English, so it takes double the time. But it was during Christmas holiday so it’s understandable.

$40 euro per person for tram ride (to and fro) and salt mine. It’s worth the money for the views alone. It’s a bit of a walk from the tram to the mine so don’t expect to just be right there. There is so much to look at on the walk including the salt mummies they found there and a mini-temple to St. Barbara.
Fun fact. St. Barbara is the patron saint of miners. Her father beheaded her for being a Christian.
Once you get to the mine you stay in a waiting area until the next tour. Once the tour begins you go into an additional room where you put on your salt mining gear. There are lockers, free of charge. You walk through a photo history area before the tour officially begins. Once inside the mine, they provide a wealth of information in both English and German. There are two fun slides, the second of which a photo is taken. 5 mini films, a light show, salt tasting, and a train ride out.
My favorite part was the light show around the water- it’s very mind trippy. Doesn’t even look like water. A copy of your slide photo is 8 Euro, cash only.

Came for the visit that is worth of the ticket value. Interesting fact to know the history of oldest salt mine in the world. Also had fun with two slides and one tram ride in the mine.
The Grossglockner High Alpine Road, also known as Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse, is a famous serpentine road that takes travelers through the stunning landscapes of Hohe Tauern National Park in Austria. This scenic route leads to the base of Grossglockner, the country's highest peak at 3,798 meters. The road offers breathtaking views of mountain pastures, meadows, and icy terrain as it winds its way through the alpine region.
Been here twice, it’s an incredible road to drive on all the way to the glacier. Take your time to enjoy the scenery and don’t rush it.

The highest road of Europe 🇪🇺
Loved it ❤️
Can't explain the pleasure to ride on the top a cafe and the view point is another level beauty.
Totally worth it to spend your time with loved ones..
Wish you a happy ride 😊

OMG!
Drove almost 10 hours in Alp peaks and roads back and forth. It was my best experience in Europe ever. Seems Europe is known by these mountains which mainly located in Austria. It had around 40 Euro toll, but it worth it for sure.
Road was foggy, and looked a bit scary, but enjoyed it. There were some ponds and seats beside them on the way. Good chance to enjoy some times in the nature. Landscapes great. That would be better to manage the time to spend it during the day while driving.
Overall, strongly recommended!

It is surely one of the most beautiful routes in Europe to visit. The breathtaking views, the atmosphere at this special site for all ages, the exemplary cleanliness, the organization at every site and site, are commendable

One of the most scenic road passes in Europe. Worth to cross or drive only to the highest point with a tunnel. Road is easy to drive, not too step and the toll gate is well organized on a flat section. Actualy the most scenic part is the side road going to Franz Josef Hohe park house and restaurant. From there you can admire the Grossglockner and the shrinking glacier. Parking is free of charge.

In June 2018, we drove down to Austria with a Harley Davidsson Breakout 2016. We started from Luleå which is in northern Sweden and the trip down took 4 days. Once down in Austria, we had to wait a couple of days when there was snow on the roads at Grossglockner. Once in place, we started early in the morning, which can be a tip to wait until the middle of the day when visibility is better. Well a few hundred meters up when we came up over the clouds, the view was magical! Curvy and winding motorcycle roads of the highest class !! We are coming back!

Unfortunately, the weather was bad the day I went, so it was very dangerous because I couldn't see the way up, but on the way down, the weather got better and I was able to see the wonderful scenery. The toll is 40 euros, but the second time I got a ticket for 14.5 euros because I came on a bad day. But most travelers can only go once, so it's much better to give them a discount on bad weather days.

Fantastic road over the pass, with incredible views. Worth the 40 Euros toll. Spend all day if you like. Weather conditions can be changeable. We set off on the South side, lovely afternoon, however from the summit down the North side it was torrential rain, Which spoiled it for the bikers that we saw.

Literally bucket list road to drive if you like cars and can find a nice sports car to drive up there.
Keep in mind it only allows cars in to the pass till 20:15. Any later and you will not be allowed in.
We made it 20:06 and the sights we saw were amazing with the added benefit of no tourists on the road.

Lovely experience, 40€/car in 2023, a lot of cars and motorbikes all around, but still enough place to stop by and take some photos. Views are extraordinary, still i would say its not a must as a lot of people suggest. Sitting in the car for a few hours is not my ideal day. You can spend it wandering or cycling around in the beautiful nature instead.

The Grossglockner High Mountain Road is one of the most breathtaking panoramic roads in Europe. Beautiful wild nature all around. The route of the road crosses several climatic zones. It leads through fragrant dark green forests, past beautiful flowering meadows and massive alpine giants to the Emperor Franz Josef Height (2571 m). Here you can see the Pasterze glacier, the longest in the Eastern Alps. This area is a paradise for marmots, chamois and even rare ibex. This great work of human hands and a unique cultural monument, on its 48 km long route, makes its way directly into the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park, to Austria's highest mountain, the Grossglockner, where the fascinating world of glaciers opens up.
It is a paradise for both motorists and nature lovers. A toll is paid for entering the road. And not exactly small, 40 EUR per day for a passenger car. But definitely worth it, and you won't regret it. And when going downhill, watch out for the brakes or you'll lose your lining. :-)
It would seem that we were unlucky with the weather. It was raining and there were clouds and fog. But it didn't matter at all. This place is beautiful even in this weather. And completely different than when it's nice (which we enjoyed the next day). Those mountains in those clouds and fog have a special, unforgettable charm.
Eagle's Nest, Nazi mountain-top retreat now a restaurant with views, located near Berchtesgaden. The lodge is reached by special shuttle bus from the Kehlsteinhaus bus station and can only be visited by those with a valid tour ticket. It is number one on the tourist list for things to do in Berchtesgaden, and Synonyms include: mountaintop retreat, luxurious lodge built for Hitler, expensive house, luxury home.
The buses are clean, comfortable and very timely. It is very well run and organized. You can either bus, hike or bike to the top where incredible views await. Don't go thinking you can tour the property however. Accessible space is limited to bathrooms and a restaurant mainly. There are restrooms, a restaurant and gift shop at the bottom where you catch your appointed, time specific bus. You must pay for parking using coins only so be prepared. Once at the top you can wander the grounds of the property and climb stairs and short trails leading to amazing views. Proper footwear is encouraged if you hike trails. It's very rocky and uneven.
Greg Wright — Google review
Very nice views.
The bus is a bit expensive, but definitely recommend it, cause it's a hard hike up. If you want to spend more time on the mountain tell them while buying a ticket that you want more time - bus places are counted and you can't miss it.

If you are a history buff you might enjoy the visit. Nice views from the bus that takes you up the mountain, and gorgeous vistas at the top as well. However, the house functions as a restaurant nowadays, and there's only a small exhibition of photos on the outside gallery. In my opinion, not worth the price charged.

Just an amazing place with a chequered history. The views at the top are truly magnificent. We were fortunate to have had access the day we visited as the weather was beautiful. The walk through the tunnel to access the lift with the brass fittings was eerie but exciting. You could feel the spirits of those who had been before us.

Great example of NSGWP engineering and excess. Being one of the few standing buildings of the era this a must visit for any history nerd. Arrive early in the day to allow time to explore, enjoy a beer, and have lunch. I doubt there’s a more scenic view anywhere and I’ve only experienced a few roads/drives that rival the experience of getting to the Eagle’s Nest. It’s only open during the summer.
The Königssee lake is a large, translucent body of water situated south of Berchtesgaden. It boasts stunning natural scenery, including steep mountain walls that enclose the lake's fjord-like depths. The lake is known for its exceptional purity, with drinkably clear waters that reflect emerald-green hues. Visitors have the opportunity to take a boat ride across the tranquil surface and explore two different routes around the area, each offering beautiful views and hiking opportunities.
This rift created during the ice age is a pleasure to watch. It is a must-visit place if you are in Germany. Rent the kayaking boat for an hour or two instead of a motorboat to explore the lake.

Lovely lake and would enjoy it better when it’s sunny, can spend around 2-3 hours, you would get into a boat which cost around 22,50 euros per adult.
In the middle of the boat you can hear echo when it’s all silent and a trumpet is blown after that they drop you to a small island and can spend around 1-1.5 hours by taking a stroll or visiting a small church and can eat in the cafe

Went early in the morning and bought a boat ticket at 14 euro. At that time, we were unable to alight at the church but nonetheless, the boat tour was amazing!
Especially when the boat went closer to the cliff and the staff blow the horn, which reverberated throughout the mountain and reflected back!

Absolutely gorgeous place, superb views of the mountains and lakes combined. There is a boat ride which will cost you 25 euro for adults and 12 euro for children. You can also carry your pet which will cost 4 euro but you have to put mask on the boat. There are some hotels available to stay near by lake and feel the peacefulness and natural beauty.

A must do if you stay in Salzburg take the one hour trip down. Taking the boat half way is good enough if you aren’t going to hike to the waterfall at the final stop and are on a time crunch. Lots of shops and places to eat but no grab and go options. Get there early or you will have a long wait to get on a boat especially if it’s a sunny day.

No words to describe how beautiful it is. Take the boat to Salet. Walk over to Obersee, you can walk to the other side, but not suitable if you are not so mobile, as you have to hike / climb some "rock" stairs. It can be very slippery. It is about 40 min one way walk

Nice lake but very touristic and quite crowded on the weekend.
There are many stalls in which you can grab something to eat or drink. Many souvenir shops.
As we were traveling with a reactive dog, we didn't take a boat tour but rather walked around the lake.
Found a nice spot from which you could see the lake, but it wasn't the best view.

Konigsee is a big lake nestled in the Bavarian Alps. The crystal-clear waters, lush greenery, and stunning mountain backdrop create a picture-perfect scene. Whether you’re taking a boat ride or hiking along the trails, every moment here is special. A must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike! We took a boat ride across to St Bartholomew’s chapel, and hiked up to the Ice Chapel.
There is parking at the head of the lake, hotels, restaurants etc, and good transport connections.

Königsee is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of Bavaria's natural beauty! The emerald-green waters, surrounded by towering peaks, creates a mesmerizing spectacle. The boat ride across the lake offers a serene and awe-inspiring experience, allowing you to soak in the pristine landscape.

This is the most overcrowded ski resort I have visited in last 30 years. Let's be precise and say what exactly you get for (unfortunately) full price 64 Eur per day. Very limited number of ski slopes is even reduced by 30-40% of available skiing area, as large part of it is reserved as slalom training area for closed groups. Super overcrowded lifts and gondolas guarantee waiting times up to 30 mins.

Beautiful place. The cable car goes very high from the first and second station, it is not very pleasant to watch, but for those who are not afraid of heights, a beautiful view of Kaprun and the surrounding area, I think that the safety of this cable car is at a high level. When we were going back, the cable car stopped at one part and stood still, we panicked a bit that we were stuck, but later we heard that it is normal for it to stop for a few minutes.

Nice, mid-sized ski resort between 2000-3000m. Most slopes are broad, you'll find any difficulty here. Preparation of pistes is medium only unfortunately. There's a small fun park, proper half pipe and big jump. The view is pretty good, food is ok. Prices are at the top end for the day pass and food compared to other areas.

Altstadt Salzburg, also known as the old town, is a bustling area filled with history and culture. Getreidegasse, a charming pedestrian street, is lined with shops selling traditional costumes and antiques. Visitors can explore Mozart's Birthplace to learn about the composer's early life or visit the Domquartier to see the stunning Salzburg Cathedral and baroque Residence featuring art by renowned artists.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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 dwarf gardens are a fun and quirky little side visit off the side of the gardens that bring out the silly in just about everyone.
Kirk Chugg — Google review
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.

Lovely garden and nice views of the fortress. It would have been nice to get some more information about the palace and different buildings, but definitely recommend having lunch in one of the gardens. Just lovely to sit outside and enjoy the views.

When visiting Salzburg, my wife and I first walked to the beautiful gardens, from where there is a beautiful view of the castle. The gardens are magnificent in June, when we visited them, the vegetation and flowers were beautiful.
The Mirabell manor with all its outbuildings and garden monuments is on the UNESCO list as the Historic Center of the City of Salzburg.

A must see in Salzburg. An awesome park to relax, spend a lazy afternoon and try to have a sandwich/picnic while you do people watching. Expect a lot of tourist. Spend time walking around the park. It huge & has a gnome garden. If you have time watch a Mozart concert at the marble hall. It is really work it

Beautiful well maintained gardens! For sound of music lovers this must be your first stop.
Very colourful gardens but amazing backdrop with the city views & cathedral buildings. Free entry.
Only downside is you have to pay 50c for the toilet, I don't understand why it's not free.
St. Stephan's Cathedral, a Baroque Catholic cathedral designed by Carlo Lurag, is a sight to behold with its gilded pulpit and frescoes by Tencalla. The cathedral houses the largest Catholic Church organ in the world, boasting an impressive 17,974 pipes and 233 stops. Visitors can enjoy organ concerts that showcase this technical marvel while admiring the stunning paintings on the ceiling, altar, and statues inside.
Spectacular!! I've seen a lot of religious architecture but this is one of the best. A must see while in Bavaria. Passau is a nice town to hang around as well.

This is a truly beautiful place! St Stephen's Cathedral is the Roman Catholic cathedral of Vienna, Austria. It is the seat of the archbishop of Vienna and the most important religious building in Austria. St Stephen's Cathedral is a Gothic-style church dating back to the 13th century and stands at the heart of Vienna's historic city center. It is one of the most important Gothic structures in Central Europe and a major tourist attraction in Vienna.

Church is worth a visit. We went to the daily organ Concert but due to inconsiderate people with coughs spreading their germs and the lack of acoustic due to church being renovated we were underwhelmed and left early. Five Euros per person, and tickets are sold from 10am, not earlier behind the church at a little kios.

The church entrance is free and definitely worth visiting this gorgeous cathedral with frescos adorning the numerous ceilings. Be mindful of visiting during church service times. Also, I would highly recommend the organ recitals here ($5/person), which can be purchased in the small courtyard by the main entrance.
This Baroque Church built in 1688, still serving as the seat of the Catholic Bishop of Passau, hosts the largest church organ, with 17,774 pipes and 233 registers, at its initial completion, which is still the largest organ outside the U.S.

Like most church buildings in Bavaria, & Austria, it is crammed with frescos and gilded statues in a lavishly decorated manner; no expense spared. It was a short walk from Danube mooring, but as it was 36c we didn't venture any further. There's a large square in front of the cathedral which is used as a car park. Wheelchair friendly. Free entry.

International Traveling Clown — Google review
The church is a magnificent example of art and architecture. Beautiful art work on the ceilings, and just an amazing piece of architecture. Obviously the renovations at the moment do not do full justice to the building to be appreciated, but notwithstanding, you can clearly get a great sense of the cathedral.
The pipe organ, with its ~17000 pipes, I'm sure is an incredible musical instrument, but the concert we attended, was simply horrid. It sounded like the organist felt obliged to prove there were in fact 17000 pipes. It was a mismash of bits of music, mashed together and some of it was very dark. I personally do not think it showed what a remarkable instrument they have.
If only considering the church, this is a five star place to visit, but the pipe organ pulls it down to only the stars.
The Krimml Waterfalls in Austria are a magnificent natural wonder, featuring Europe's highest waterfall with a 380m drop amidst a wooded mountainside. The Falls present an extraordinary sight, enveloped in mist and occasionally adorned with rainbows or frozen solid depending on the season. The Wasserfallweg is the scenic walking path starting at the ticket office that meanders up through mixed forest to offer tourists numerous vantage points for close-up views of this breathtaking landscape.
Must visit...spectacular waterfalls, the trek thru the woods, trees still covered with snow. ..one with nature. So peaceful and serene. Totally loved it. Since it was off season, there wasn't any crowds or queues. 😍

Beautiful waterfalls with stunning views of the alps. Its a steep hike but it’s very worth it. When you reach the top you can hike besides the river through the alps. The only negative is a lot of people. I highly recommend it and it’s the most beautiful waterfall I have ever seen.
Tomas B — Google review
Very impressive waterfalls! I can highly recommend spending at least half a day here in order to make the round tour during which you will pass all of the waterfalls.
The paths can be quite steep during some sections but they are well maintained and easily accessible for all people with basic fitness and proper shoes. We saw families with several children and strollers as well as groups of pensioners which made it all the way to the top and were rewarded with stunning views. That being said, it is important to note that these waterfalls are certainly not a secrets for tourists which is why the paths were quite crowded, yet not overcrowded.
Johannes — Google review
This has been one of the most heartwarming experiences I've ever had. It was truly refreshing, delightful, and thoroughly enjoyable. The location is incredibly welcoming for visitors. The hike, while moderate, was invigorating, although we didn't quite make it to the waterfall's highest point. It took us just over an hour to reach the café area, where we relaxed by the river, formed just downstream from the waterfall. It was incredibly soothing and definitely worth a visit.

There not much information provided regarding entrance fee. There’s a booth right at the bottom of the waterfall. Cost €5 per person. Bring a waterproof rain jacket. Don’t waste effort with umbrella because you would need to climb the rocks to get a view of the waterfall.

Amazing fall, huge in size, very impressive force of nature. The climb in the path next to the fall is not easy and not everyone can reach the top. There is lots of parking nearby and also a museum with water games for the kids. Super fun. Recommended for families. Included in the Salzburger land card.

A great hiking trail, that’s starts from 1070 meters at the feet of the first waterfall and ends at 1460 meters. We spent here 3 hours. The walk has steep parts but is kids friendly, along the walk there are view points to the waterfalls.
There are a coffeehouse and a restaurant at the start of the trail, and also one at 1300+ meters.
Very recommended trail.

One of the biggest waterfalls in Europe but not my favorite but worth a visit.
An advice, buy the 8€ ticket unless you have a car then buy the 13€ tickets which includes the parking in P4 and the entry to the water museum.
Second advice, avoid the gate entry a few km before the waterfall which costs 11€ for no reason you can take the right lane to avoid the gate.

Beautiful waterfalls and excellent paths from the visitor centre to the lower, middle and upper falls. Quite a few places to eat and drink there too. Gets quite busy.
Marc Dobson — Google review
This was better then expected! The falls are stunning. When you look at the fotos you cannot grab the size of the thing. It’s a combination of several falls and rapids with the water being very wild.
For people liking hiking they are able to walk to the upper part of the stream. You can choose climbing to the middle part (having the restaurant) and going to the upper part. Getting to the upper parts takes about 1.5 hours. A further half an hour walk through the glacier canyon will take you to two restaurants. We enjoyed the smaller one which was vert cozy. The quietness and surrounding was making the two hour hike absolutely worthwhile.
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.

Over all a good experience.

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.

Boat return ticket to the island is 10€ per person or 27€ for the family of four. Additionally, the castle ticket which you can buy on the island is 10€ per person for a guided tour. It was all worth it as the place and the surroundings are incredible. There is a café and a restaurant inside the castle to have a break after the tour.

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.

Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen Betriebs GmbH (Nordkette) is a modern transportation system connecting Innsbruck with Hungerburg, designed by Zaha Hadid. The cable car ride offers a scenic 20-minute journey to the Nordkette, showcasing breathtaking views of Innsbruck and its surrounding mountain landscapes.
Wonderful experience! The first step to see the top of Innsbruck. You can access it from the city center, where you can buy the ticket. It is recommended to bring some warm clothes, even in the spring, because on the top of the mountains, the temperature and the wind can make you feel a bit of cold.

Will give it five stars for the overall experience you get, but be prepared to be packed in like sardines in the cable cars. At a minimum you'll definitely want to consider a mask.

Restaurant is very good with quality food and there are free of charge ski bikes for kids and adults to enjoy.

A bit complicated to traverse all 3 stations to reach the summit, but the final hike to the top was exhilarating.

We had incredible views from the top of Innsbruck, definitely worth visiting whilst you are here. We took the funicular to get to the cable car access and you can purchase tickets from the funicular station for the funicular and top of Innsbruck and back in one ticket. You can also make your own way to the cable car and just buy cable car tickets. All up it cost us 44 euros but we found it was a lot cheaper than anything similar in Switzerland.

VIEW OF THE MOUNTAIN
The mountain that dominates Innsbruck. The Nordkette is part of Austria's largest nature park, the Karwendel Nature Park, and can be accessed in only a few minutes from Innsbruck's city centre! The stunning 360° vista, with the Alps' capital on one side and Tyrol's most extensive conservation area on the other, makes an indelible impact.
The Hungerburg funicular takes about 8 minutes to get to the Hungerburg. There are various stops along the route, including the Alpine Zoo, which is popular with families. After arriving at the Hungerburg station, travellers can take a short walk across Hermann Buhl Square, which is named after the world-famous Austrian mountaineer.

Breathtaking views. We went to the very top - three gondolas. In July 2023 the top restaurant was closed so best to go up and come back a level to the great bar there with amazing views. Can feel a bit claustrophobic as they pack you in but always feel safe.
The Golden Roof in Innsbruck is a prominent landmark and attraction in the city. It is dominated by nearly 2,700 copper tiles, and it is most impressive from the exterior. The roof also has a small interactive museum about Austria that wont take too much time to visit.
Beautiful old town, all places you need to visit in Innsbruck old town are around this area.
Right at the end you get to see this golden roof balcony that is distinctively different from the rest of the building. There are many other colorful buildings around with full of history and culture.
So many food options around including McD.

The gorgeous symbol of Innsbruck, situated in the heart of the city centre. During Christmas time (until December 23rd) you can find Christmas Markets in front of it together with a beautiful Christmas tree!

Easily one of the most visited sites in the old centre of Innsbruck, at the same time you can see all of the old buildings and medieval architecture of the original parts of the city. The golden roof glitters when the sun is out, however the site with Nordkette in the background reminds me of beautiful mountainous art works. The snow is falling on the mountain and the trucks are busy removing the last of the Christmas market installations. Visit this space and take in the history of the city in the surrounding streets.

The Golden roof really does stand out from the other buildings around it. Even when you walk farther away, you will still be able to admire it. It was quite late in the summer evening so we didn't get to see it shine in the sun.
We didn't go inside, there was moderate crowd in front of the building.

The Golden Roof is a famous landmark in Innsbruck, Austria. The Golden Roof is a three-story balcony structure located in the heart of Innsbruck's Old Town. It was built in the early 15th century by Archduke Friedrich IV as a symbol of his power.
Visiting the Golden Roof is a great way to immerse yourself in the history and culture of Innsbruck while enjoying its stunning architecture.
It is recommended to the tourists visiting Innsbruck, Austria 🇦🇹

Nice building with golden roof. Near to it, there is a very old hotel in the bank of river Inn. The English word "inn" for small hotel must have come from this hotel.

When I saw photos of this place and read that it was one of Innsbruck's most famous landmarks I thought it was a joke, but get closer to it and you realise it's something very special with a lot of history. Also, the street it is on is just beautiful and well worth a visit. Unfortunately we didn't have time to stay for a coffee or snack but highly recommend it if you're in Innsbuck.

Interesting small museum about the golden roof and the life of the emperor who commissioned it. The museum covers only one floor. It can be visited in anything between 10 minutes and one hour (there is a quite long video to watch halfway through the exposition). You can get a nice glimpse through the balcony, but you cannot step onto it. The experience is worth the EUR 4.50 entrance fee. The lady at the ticket counter is very friendly and helpful.
Only downside is they accept only cash and the ATMs in the area charge EUR 4 for withdrawals with international cards.

It is one of the most known landmark in Innsbruk located in the old city, and it called Golden Roof because it is covered with 2000 golden painted tiles , there is a museum also in the building in

You can either walk, cycle inside the park, kids will. Enjoy the vast open space to play.
There is a place at entrance where people surf on the water flow.
You need at least half day to roam around the Garden to enjoy it completely

It’s great to have 900 acres garden right in the middle of a big city. It had water body, green lawns, forest feeling, beer hall for 7000 people, peaceful pathways, river and on top of it surfing. It was amazing.

Huge, close to town, and beautiful. You can swim, enjoy a crate of beer there, sunbathe, even surf. It does get very crowded on summer afternoons, so perhaps come in the morning from April-August. There’s plenty of shade by the sides and a couple of beer gardens for a bite and a drink. Police regularly has a presence in the area.

One of my favorites spots in Munich.
During summer is full of people and you can do many activities there. To play volleyball you need your own nett but eventually you also can ask to join others team. You can swim and do the famous and traditional jump from the bridge at Isar. I always go with my friends, but sometimes after work I go there just to relax, feel some sun and read my book.

Definitely a park to visit when in Munich. The English garden is very peaceful, there are many walking trails, places to sit and have a picnic or stop at the Chinese Tower where you can purchase delicious food and drinks. Don't miss the area where the river surfing 🌊 takes place. Usually 10 or more surfers line up to get their turn. All ages, young and old! We were here at the end of September 2023. Beautiful weather and really enjoyed our stroll though the park. There are maps to help you not get lost, as the park is quite large. Many tours go to the English garden, biking tours, walking tours and we ever saw horseback riding (but not sure if that was a tour). Most of the trails we were on were paved and wide. Enjoy!

This may have actually been my favorite place in Munich. Right in the middle of the city is a huge park. Luckily our hotel was right next to the park. I went for a run and/or walk every day in the park. There are so many trails that only was able to get to a small portion of the park, but it seemed very safe and it was so green with lots of rivers, streams, lakes and ponds. There are also Reataurants/Beer gardens spread throughout the park.

An amazing park in the heart of Munich.
The park is huge and finishing without a break in a one day is really hard, impossible for me :D
There are different section in this park and even you can pass by bus as well.
The German Museum of Masterpieces of Science and Technology is a vast museum that showcases original artifacts and interactive displays on energy, transportation, and astronomy. It holds the title of being the largest technology museum globally, spanning over 50,000 square meters and exhibiting around 28,000 objects. The museum offers a unique experience as it combines traditional exhibits with hands-on activities such as demonstrations, experiments, and media stations. Visitors can engage with various subjects ranging from agriculture to photography to space technology.
We worked our way through the museum, from the top floor (space) down to the basement (mining), and it is clear where the museum has spent money and where it is in sad need of attention. This is a very big museum where you can spend more than 1 day if you wanted to! The museum has thousands of objects on display, all aimed at science and technology. It includes several different floors and different themes throughout the building. Totally recommended if you’re into science or technology related things!

The amount of detail that is put into this place is amazing. You can find out anything about technology, from microchips, cameras/photography, to modern stuff like robotics and space shuttles. I would suggest arming yourself with a bag of popcorn, a big cola, 6 hours of free time and a lot of patience to have a great experience.

Definitely a museum that deserves 5 stars. It explains very well what civilization is. There are many places to visit in different branches. It's a great place for kids too. There are very nice activities and applications that they can try and do. 14 euros per person. There is a family discount. I would recommend it to everyone.

Really cool place of you love engineering. It os a very visual experience and there are a lot of things to explain here. It doesn't feel like it is a place dedicated for kids so adults can also have fun in their knowledge exploration. There is a lot of information and it is really well designed but I strongly recommend choosing a section sticking to it and enjoy on part of the museum as there is too much to see. Each section really delves into details and it will be impossible to grasp everything in one go.

This is a really cool museum with plenty to see, also a very big variation. Everything from airplanes to harvest equipment. A very interesting museum, but it is very crowded usually with a lot of school classes visiting it and generally a very long queue to the entrance, but if you are interested in technology it is totally worth the waiting time.

Best science museum in the world.
Magnificently curated with diversity of topics, but most of them treated with a great deal of thoroughness.

There's a lot of expositions where you can interact with it, and for me that's a most have for a museum about technology.
The price is a little bit expensive (14 euros for adults) but there are some discounts ( 4,5 euros for students).
What confuses me is that the minimum payment by credit card is 20 euros... That's really not convenient for tourists

It takes a long time to buy tickets, because many school students go there together. It's better to set aside a day to visit the museum. Personally, I feel that this museum is very suitable for scientific enlightenment. It has a basic and comprehensive display of agricultural science, technology, music, aviation and industry.

This is a HUGE museum, so don’t expect to see it all in one day, but it truly has so much to offer adults and kids. The exhibits are extremely educational and well-curated, and the location is great as well. You can go for a stroll along the Isar afterwards! They also have a restaurant with a rooftop terrace which gets pretty crowded on nice days, but it’s a great atmosphere!
Angie Ann — Google review
Possibly the best museum I have ever been to. Ranging from aircraft to an entire section on suspension bridges. As well as model railways, scientific discoveries, musical instruments — you name it. You definitely need a full day to see it all — if not multiple days! I particularly liked how the pendulum from the outside clock tower hangs all the way down the central staircase to the ground floor, where you can watch it swinging.
Cian Tempest — Google review
As the bigger part of the museum is under renovation until 2028, there is a new part of the museum that is still accessible. The ticket costs 15€. I loved the quantum physics section, satellites, and optical instruments. Other sections are bridges, farming, medicine and musical instruments. More sections such as microbiology are still under construction. Can easily spend 4 hours here. Not suitable for children as the topics are quite complicated.

Marienplatz, the vibrant heart of Munich, serves as a central gathering place for locals and tourists alike. This city-center square and transport hub is home to St. Peter's church, two town halls, and a toy museum. It is renowned for its iconic New Town Hall and the Mariensaule column dedicated to St. Mary.
A great location in Munich with countless places to shop, eat, and relax. The central square is also so large and distinct that it’s a helpful landmark for those of us visiting from out of country, and for meeting up with friends. The architecture is beautiful. The atmosphere is bustling. We had some great times, and great food here.
Overall: key location and we will return when we are next in Munich.

A nice central plaza that lies in the heart if the city connecting between its main streets and shopping malls.

Main square. Very beautiful architecture, with non-standard design of balconies and stained glass windows. Each part of the buildings is unique in its own way. When you stand on this square, you temporarily forget that today is the 21st century - the surrounding environment takes you to the Middle Ages, the time of knights. This square is truly the historical center of Munich.

This place is incredible, you could stare at this building all day and still not see all the details. We went back to see the glockenspiel, at 5pm. The building could not be any more impressive. The performances in the square were entertaining too. It's definitely a spot you don't want to miss if you are in Munich. The train will take you directly there if you aren't in walking distance. There are many restaurants and shops nearby.

This town square is a must visit in Munich. The architecture is simply gorgeous, with its unique balconies and windows designs/colors. There are many street stalls selling foods and drinks, souvenirs and branded stuff. Also, numerous street artists were performing when we were there. This further adds to the colorfulness and character of the area. The design makes us forget that we are in the modern days and takes us back to many centuries ago.
There are lots to see, shop, eats for every taste and individual, from beer markets to restaurants. Our family of 4 enjoyed ourselves thoroughly here. Pity we were here on a day trip only. Will come back if we have the chance.

The square serves as the heart of the city, bustling with activity and surrounded by historic landmarks.
The centerpiece of Marienplatz is the awe-inspiring New Town Hall. Its towering spires and intricate Gothic design took my breath away. Watching the famous Glockenspiel come to life was a true delight.
The square is filled with charming shops, cafes, and restaurants that lined its edges. From traditional Bavarian clothing stores to contemporary boutiques, there was something for every taste.
Marienplatz square in Munich truly captured the essence of the city. Its historic charm, lively atmosphere, and central location make it an absolute must-visit. Whether you're a history buff, a shopaholic, a food enthusiast, or simply seeking an authentic Bavarian experience, Marienplatz square has it all.

Place for all the young people to vibe around and spend nice time with the closed ones. Great place to pass time. Looks very beautiful during the spring 🌼 and summer 🌞⛱️ season. Nice tulips flowers 🌺🌹 are planted in this place.. everyday show time for the bell ringing amazes people and keeps them wait there and watch the show for few minutes.. no tickets and entrance fee are required.

A nice place in the center of city with beautiful and amazing central location in Munich. The architecture is beautifully done. the central square is spacious and you can have a walk around old historical buildings as well as observe monuments around. They worth taking pictures of.
The main reason people love to visit here is its atmosphere at the time of ticking clock tower with dancing dolls. It has couple of very tall towers from where you can have breathtaking views of Munich city.
It’s a crowded place because main shopping street next to it. A lots of shopping stores, cafes & restaurants around for quick shopping or grabbing a quick bite.
Don’t drive there because parking is bite far but best traveling by subway. If you are planning to visit Munich, this place is a must visit.

It's an absolutely beautiful building. The clock tower rings out, high above the other buildings and through the streets. The figures dance around on a carousel. There are statues and dragons and works of stone from a very long time ago. Many people gather around, taking photos and videos as it chimes. Inside has some interesting features, like gargoyles and spiral staircase, more statues and some doors to walk through. Check it out.
The Cathedral of St Peter in Regensburg is a beautiful, preserved example of Gothic art. It's home to the Regensburger Domspatzen choir, one of Bavaria's oldest boys' choirs. The cathedral is also known for its astounding stained glass windows and opulent main altar.
St Peter Cathedral

St Peter Cathedral is also known as Regensburg Cathedral or Dom Peter. It is of Gothic architecture, having two spires. The exterior features some intricate and interesting medieval sculptures, while the interior has the same plus stained glass windows.
In comparison with many other cathedrals I have come across, this is not the most elaborate, but I believe it still deserves a score of 5 stars.

Original church building was constructed in year 700 but was burned down in the late 13th century and reconstructed. It is the only Gothic Cathedral in Bavaria and has the largest hanging organ in the world.

One of the most beautiful and large cathedral in Germany. The sense of unity with the town of Regensburg is most attractive. Almost windows in the cathedral are wonderful stained glass. It is a place that must be visited at least once.
Akira Rikitsu — Google review
Saint Peter's Cathedral is the most important point on the map of Regensburg's history. Its imposing building is the only example of French Gothic in all of Bavaria. Earlier, there was a Romanesque temple in this place, but after a fire in the second half of the 13th century, it was decided to build a new structure. Construction work lasted over 250 years, although the construction of both towers was not completed until the 19th century. You can enter the cathedral for free from 6.30 am till 5.00 p. m. Inside, stained glass windows from the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries delight, which have been preserved in their original condition thanks to the city's avoidance of bombardment. According to some, it is the most beautiful collection in our part of Europe.
She is world-famous for her boys' choir, created a thousand years ago. From 1964 to 1994, its choirmaster was the elder brother of Joseph Ratzinger, by the way- a former member of the choir.

The cathedral was under construction but it did not affect the interior architecture. Spectacular stained glass art was definitely a highlight. The noon prayer session at 12:00 was perfect for meditating and finding some peace of mind in the middle of the day, but the organ music was a little underwhelming, because I expected more from the "intimidating"-looking "pipes" of the organ.

We have already seen many cathedrals, but this cathedral made me ecstatic. What a beauty! Most of all I liked the stained glass windows. And although the cathedral looks a little dark, the old stained glass windows let in little light, but the atmosphere in the cathedral is very authentic. We really enjoyed. Now the cathedral is being reconstructed. But this does not prevent you from admiring the Gothic beauty of the temple.

The BMW Museum, located in Munich, is a cutting-edge steel museum that showcases engines, designs, and vintage as well as modern cars from the beloved brand. With its unique bowl-shaped design, it is a must-see for car enthusiasts. The spacious museum houses a wide range of antique cars and motorcycles that were rarely seen in BMW's early days. Spanning 5,000 square meters, it offers visitors an extensive collection of products to explore and can easily occupy half a day.
One of the best organized museums I've visited in recent history. Every part of it is informative, provides tons of insight on each particular topic.. There are even interactive screens where you can learn more certain engines, car models, and so on... The staff is also very pleasant and helpful towards the visitors, there is shop and bistro at the extension of the museum. Either way, very well spent time. It's a must-go destination in Munich, especially if you're a huge automobile enthusiast.

The BMW Museum in Munich is a must-visit for car enthusiasts and anyone interested in engineering and design. I visited the museum and was impressed by the vast collection of car models on display. From classic models to the latest releases, the museum has something for everyone.
One thing that stood out to me was the knowledgeable staff, who were always available to answer questions and offer insights into the history and technology behind the cars. Their enthusiasm for the subject matter was infectious and added to the overall experience.
The building itself is a work of art, with a modern design that blends seamlessly with the surrounding architecture. The museum is well-lit, spacious, and well-organized, making it easy to navigate and appreciate the exhibits.
The exhibitions were particularly interesting, providing a glimpse into the evolution of BMW over the years. The displays are interactive and engaging, offering visitors the chance to learn about the technology and innovations that have made BMW a leading car brand.
Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to the BMW Museum in Munich. The collection of cars and exhibits, combined with the modern building design and knowledgeable staff, make for a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Some of the bike areas empty but all cars and engine(mostly Formula and planes) sections are great(especially the f1 and and the touring racing). Price is reasonable for 1.5h - 2h museum.

Nice museum to visit if you like automotive. Displays some of the historic cars, motorcycles, and products of BMW. The museum walks you through the history of BMW and their values. You get to see pieces from history and the modern ones too.
Plan to spend 2-3 hours here. No line when we visited in December. Conveniently located by a train stop.

Amazing museum to visit. The BMW Welt is connected to the BMW Museum by a pedestrian bridge. The BMW Welt is free to visit , but the BMW museum costs 10 euros. It worth every penny. The museum is dome shaped and the welt is four cylinder building. Many amazing cars and bikes to see. The factory tour was one of my favorites. We got to see how different parts are made.

Every enthusiasts dream place but as much as it was interesting and had some good cars/bikes it sort of lacked my expectations.
I wanted more, more M cars, Alpinas, maybe even a car to sit in but it's all a bit bland considering. I did learn a few things and would recommend but don't go in expecting a 10 star wow factor

A Dream Place to visit for the BMW owners and lovers!
Not much to say as you have to come and visit this place.
Definitely buy tickets online, save your time on waiting at the counter. We bought tickets online, its was a quick entry for us.
Dressing storage room is downstairs, I suggest to drop your coats there as its very warm inside.
We enjoyed our time here and will be back again.

If you are passionate about cars and motorcycling you must stop at the BMW museum!
The story of the brand is told in a very clear and engaging way. The route is intuitive and well signposted. Also noteworthy is the bar/bistro which offers many vegan dishes 🌱

I was so amazed at how grand and beautiful this place is. The cars and the history were amazing. Loved every single thing they displayed . A must visit place if you’re in Germany

History, passion, technology and future of mobility in one place. One of the must see museums while visiting Munich. You need at least 2 hours to visit the museum, catching some live tours or explanations from the museum staff. Across the street you can visit for free the BMW showroom showcasing new models, but also having some rare exhibitions sometimes.

Amazing place. Fan boy or not this place has great history to show. All the cars at the museum are very unique and are described with great depth of detail which all the history behind the vehicles. If you are in the Munich or are at a close city I recommend visiting. A must see! Loads of gifts shops available at entrance of museum and at the BMW Welt area. Canteen has all sorts of hot and cold food so it won’t be difficult to plan your day here. It has a large car park finding space is not a struggle and it’s not expensive. Bays are large all sorts of vehicles can fit there no problem.

If you are cats lover, you will enjoy it. It has rich content. Not a fan of the museum journey experience, we were bet confused of where to start and where to go next. In general, highly recommended.

A must see place once visiting Munich. Nice cars and history. It is also good that there is no barrier and you can closely explore the cars. The only missing point is that the station wagon section was closed due to renewal.

Cool museum with great curation. Worth visiting if you are interested in motored vehicles, history, and of course BMW. Though I am not a big fan of cars or BMW, I still enjoyed the museum as it is. (Tip: Once you enter you will see a QR code which you can use to buy an online ticket, it will save you time.)

It was great to read about the history of BMW as well as see all the classic cars. Airplane engines, motorbikes etc. really great open space museum. Well laid out, doesn’t feel claustrophobic which is good also.

Very interesting museum to visit. Might get a bit crowded, so be prepared for that. There's also a decent cafe inside for quick snacks.
Definitely would recommend a visit if your in Munich.

We expected more from the museum itself, where new cars and motorcycles are top notch, museums don’t provide headphones, the history and eras are completely incomprehensible, you need to take a guided tour, there at certain times. The site for purchasing online tickets does not work, the site is bad. There's a line outside, we're frozen, try buying online and you'll be invited. Not the first museum, but a completely terrible organization.

This place is a must-visit for BMW enthusiasts. The museum and the Welt offer a fantastic experience. The people are great, providing excellent hospitality. Kudos to the front desk at BMW Welt – they even arranged a taxi for me!

Interesting place, if you like auto history. Lots of models, starting from the 19th century. Messages in English and German. Several cars are open, and you can feel yourself a bus driver, for example.
I also like the building.
Huge gift shop sells clothes, models, kids toys and many many other things
Parking is on low levels, follow the signs.

The BMW Museum in Munich is an exceptional experience. From the moment you step inside, you're transported into a world of automotive excellence. The museum's architecture is a visual treat, with its futuristic design and sleek curves, making it a standout landmark in Munich.
The exhibitions are thoughtfully curated, showcasing a wide range of BMW's historical and contemporary models. Each car is presented with detailed information, allowing visitors to appreciate the evolution of design and technology over the years. The interactive displays and multimedia presentations add an engaging touch, making the visit educational and entertaining.
The staff at the museum are friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. The facility is well-maintained, with clean and spacious exhibition areas. There's also a gift shop where you can find a variety of BMW-themed souvenirs.

A must visit place for car and motorcycle enthusiasts, info about the history of cars,bikes , engines and the development of the company through the years . A huge collection of cars and bikes . Takes about 3-4 hours if you thoroughly go through each and everything .try to visit in the weekdays and in the morning so, you don't have a lot of crowd .
Happy Travelling .

If you think the Welt is impressive, please step into the museum. Immerse yourself into the past and present plus a glimpse of the future!
We spent 3.5 hours and that’s not enough! So much to read. So much to learn. Like I said, we now understand our own cars better!
Even my sister, who’s a die-hard Mercedes owner, agreed that both the BMW Welt and the museum were awesome. But now, because of this museum, she wants to visit Stuttgart next, to see whether the Mercedes Museum is as impressive as this one!

A museum to be seen and visited. You need to spend about 3 hours. It is a teaching and instructive museum. Car lovers should definitely go. Interesting contents and vehicles. BMW quality can be felt here! The gift shop was bad. You don’t have many choices.

We planned to visit this museum before our trip, and it's indeed an excellent museum to learn about BMW’s history, vision, and future of the company, as well as explore BMW cars from the past, present, and future. This museum is for all ages, and it's incredible. I highly recommend it.

An excellent museum, which you must visit if you are in Munich. Large historical collection of cars and motorcycles, marine and aircraft engines.
Considering the very large number of models, it leaves you breathless, even if you are not a fan of BMW. Everything is clearly marked and if you follow the numbers, you will visit the entire museum without any problems. Since you cannot bring Russian money into the museum, they have lockers that are locked by inserting a €1 coin, which you take back later when you take your things. Tickets are only €10. Very friendly staff, who will be happy to help you with any ambiguities. We were there on Saturday, given the excellent organization, we entered without waiting. I repeat, if you are in Munich, it is really worth paying €10 to visit this museum!

This place is a must visit pitstop 🚏 on your next trip to Munich! 🇩🇪 The BMW Museum showcases so many cars 🚗 and motorcycles 🏍️ and has the entire history of BMW on display. It's really fun walking 🚶 around and exploring 🔍 the space! I wish I could spend more time here!
Andechs Monastery is a hilltop pilgrimage center in southern Bavaria that was established in the 10th century. It is renowned for its Benedictine monks' famous ales, and many tourists visit to sample them. The site attracts large crowds on weekends, but its stunning beauty remains a must-see attraction. Ettal, another picturesque location nearby, offers excellent hiking opportunities with ample parking facilities.
Gorgeous church. You go to Tutzing and take bus 958 which drops you at the base of Andechs. A long incline to walk up. It has a tower that has 13 flights of steps for €1.00. Their food opens at 11:00 and they have superb Haxen. Beer is great. Get there before 12:00 or few seats left.

Nice touristy place but huge crowds over the weekend. I think the Ettal looks beautiful if you hike around the place. Huge parking.

Loved the beer and pork knuckle! We popped by on our way down from Munich to St. Anton. Will love to head back for more beer in the summer!

I know some people think this place is too tourist, and mass production factory, but I enjoy it...and usually come early before the rush.
Arrive well before noon, ideally 11am...that is when the restaurant opens.
Share a litre beer, share a pork knuckle...they are large and sharing the cost makes it a bit better.
The whole monastery is not open to the public, but the baroque style layout of the church is worth a visit. Slip into the small chapel to tge side, and say a pray of thanks.
Pick a good day, even during the weekdays 80% of the tables are occupied by 12noon

I wish I could rate the Monastery on multiple levels, as a pilgrimage site, a brewery and a restaurant. I hope my pictures do justice to what you will see in the Monastery. A beautifu , prayerful environment. Well worth the time to visit and to refresh yourself spiritually and bodily.

Andechs Monastery was nice. Many people on Sunday. Few restaurants around. Self services and serve by waiter also available but require advance booking otherwise not even half seat available for you. But can always go to self service side. Definitely have to try their beer. Very good and smooth. Their alcohol free beer tasted like real beer and smooth. The monks did a very good job in making the beer. However the cheese made by monk is not easy to find. I couldn’t get to try one. Their pork knuckle are huge! I couldn’t finish. Have to bring another half back home. They have paper bag for you to put the food to take away if can’t finish. Their pretzel 🥨 also very big. However their potato salad don’t looks attractive but their taste very good when eat with sausage and pork knuckle.
Andechs Monastery located on top of hill and they have really nice view too. Many people cycling there but also big parking place to park your car and walk up to the hill with nice things around. Like their herbs (natural pharmacy herbs), their arts..

lovely castle with a lot of local and traditional decoration and souvenir. the canteen is really authentic, you have to wait in line for the canteen and surprisingly you can pay with card. what is interesting is that on the back of the castle? There is a park full of sculpture, dedicated to the art and beer drinking, which represent the local drinking culture

My two friends took me here for a bike ride from Munich. It is absolutely beautiful, the food served is beyond anything you'd get in any restaurant, the beer's are great (size and taste). Next time I'm in Germany, I'll be back and of course with my trustee companions

The place is stunning. The monastery is beautiful, very old, and surrounded by mountains. Lots of fresh air. There is a little souvenir shop with convenient prices. The restaurant, which is nearly monastery, has a beautiful view of the mountains. Food is delicious. The beer is very good👍

Very beautiful and peaceful place. The church is amazing. Baroque style 🤩. You can easily drive to the convent using the bus (951) directly from the train station. I recommend to go early and watch the service. They also have a good german restaurant and a brewery, there you can have a beer tasting and an tour.

I lived in Bavaria for five years decades ago and it was such a treat to be able to return with Bavarian friends and show Andechs to my husband and young adult children.
The pretzels, obatzda (savory/tart cheese spread), and beer were delicious, it was so precious to see a service in the monastery cathedral and I found a beautiful little necklace in the giftshop.
Note the famous dopple bock type of beer invented by monks centuries ago which contains all the good ingredients needed to make bread. This was introduced in beer form so the monk's Lenten time fast (the fast in the days prior to celebrating Jesus Christ's death and resurrection at Easter) would not be interrupted.
Parking is free to this piece of historical Bavaria and Kloster Andechs is well worth the visit.

Worthwhile to visit. A beautiful cathedral and restaurant. It's recommended to pay attention to the Andechser agricultural section around the monastery. Outstanding milk products in all varieties.

People say this is the place to get the best beer in Germany. I definitely had my best radler here on our trip. The food was also good and is served cafeteria style. You have a choice to hike from a nearby parking lot/bus station or you can hike all the way up from the town of Herrshing. It is a slightly difficult hike uphill through forest and a little bit of meadow. If you enjoy hiking then it will be worth it to you, if it’s a hot day just take the bus.

An absolute must if you are in the Munich area. A true highlight of our trip. It was rainy and cold when we visited so we didn't get to experience the biergartenbut inside was great too. Excellent beer and the food was one of a kind. Best meal we had the entire trip.

What an interesting place to visit. Outstanding monument of architecture with beautiful ornaments inside. Beautiful architecture and awesome art work inside. You can see the tower from far as it’s tall and located at very high hill. There's a lovely hiking trail from the nearby train station in Herrsching up to the monastery, definitely recommended to get that trail because that’s really lovely walk in green area.
When I was there, it was busy over the top. The beer was excellent as is all German beer, and the food was fantastic too. The Pilgrimage church is currently an active monastery so do watch thier closing times as are early due to prayer. The monastery has plenty of free parking however it's a bit of a short but steap walk from the parking.

Small church with nice but windy view from the tower for just 1€. Recommended if you don't have fear of heights. The wooden steps are really small the higher you get. I heard 200 steps overall.
