AMAZING!!! so worth going there! We loved every minute, this is the castle that The Beauty and the Beast movie was made after. Even the clock is there. It wasn't crowded and everyone was super nice and attentive. Parking was easy and it's close to the entrance. You can take as many pics as you like and they have guides in every language. The souvenir shop is very well stocked as well.

This is the best castle I've seen in the Loire valley. It is huge and the architecture is very complex, like its spiraling main staircase. There is a lot to see, and the castle also has some art displays. It's actually a big site with a garden, church, village, etc. The only downside is that the parking lot is €6 (other castles don't make visitors pay parking) but given the size of the site, I suppose it goes toward its preservation. A must see!

Very amazing building and grounds in a beautiful setting. The place is huge so you could spend all day there. We visited the castle and gardens. The castle was quite amazing with lots to see and learn about. Most of the castle is open to explore so there is plenty to see. The gardens were a bit disappointing however, not a lot of actual garden to see and nothing too spectacular either.

Beautiful Chateau in beautiful grounds.
Amazing place to visit with plenty of facilities and places to eat / drink
Nice green area outside for picnic too and cheap all day parking.
Would recommend and would go back again.

The castle is lovely, worth the price. Lots of different rooms to see and lovely gardens around it, we spent about 2,5 hours viewing the castle but it felt like 30 minutes. Also the view from the roof of the castle is amazing. If you going to stay locally, make sure you visit this beautiful place.

Château magnifique qu’on a eu plaisir à redécouvrir et faire découvrir à notre fils de 3 ans qui a adoré.
Nous avons eu la chance de faire la visite sous un grand soleil avec peu de monde (arrivée à l’ouverture).
C’est un château à ne pas manquer. ✨

Magnificent castle that we had the pleasure of rediscovering and introducing to our 3 year old son who loved it.
We were lucky enough to visit in bright sunshine with few people (arriving at opening).

Huge palace, very few pieces of furniture. Tons of rooms. Went to the very top and had great views of the gardens. When arriving early through the mist, the main entrance just looks amazing. There are places to eat, ATM, bike racks. It even has its own police force on horseback. Impressive.

Impressive castle set on huge grounds. We found the artwork exhibits the most interesting aspects, plus the double helix staircase at center of building. Very crowded, next time we would try to be there early when they open.

First visit on a Saturday. Not as crowded as expected. Still enough free parking lots. We did not find an e-car charging station. If you are disabled with a cars, you can enter for free and your accompanying person as well. Even parking will be free. This is outstanding!
The castle ist amazing, the gardens wide and well to access. You can rent a golf caddy or a boat. There are some local vendors on a market styled place offering their crafted foods and drinks.
We did not like the current art exhibition, but tastes are different. The collection of oil paintings is superb.

This castle is a miracle! It looks amazing, especially its roof, which is impressive. I loved wandering inside and getting lost in the maze of corridors and staircases. It all looks like a fairytale. The courtyard and gardens are astonishing as well!

Nous avons visité le château en prenant en supplément la visite guidée d'1h30.
C'était une vraie découverte avec notre guide Maximilien qui était très investi et extrêmement intéressant.
Sans ses précieuses explications nous serions passés à côté de nombreuses informations sur l'histoire du château et de François premier

We visited the castle by taking the 1h30 guided tour as an extra.
It was a real discovery with our guide Maximilien who was very involved and extremely interesting.
Without his valuable explanations we would have missed out on a lot of information on the history of the castle and Francis I.

Fantastic Chateau with one of the largest garden areas of any of them. They don't allow dogs inside the castle like all the others but you can and should definitely bring your dog as the castle grounds are amazing for different length hiking options. They offer boat, bike and golf cart rentals to cruise around on. They have several restaurants and snack options as well.

Absolutely stunning and incredibly fasscinating. Not only is the chateau immense and beautiful, but there are folks running aorund in periodic-correct dress and frequent demonstrations of dance and music that occur throughout the mansion. This was a once in a lifetime visit and worth every minute.

Amazing chateau that has been kept nicely. Parking was close and very easy. Lots of grounds to walk around (or bike). We went to the falcon and horse show and it was great. Our son loved it!
Kelly M — Google review
An easy walk to the Chateau from the car park. It wasn't crowded at all. I really enjoyed getting kind of lost inside and wish we'd had more time from our tour to explore. It was fun to find all the outdoor corridors that connected different rooms and areas. Kids really seemed to like it.
Kari S — Google review
One of the biggest castles in France. Most famous for its double helix staircase. Recently renovated, it doesn't have as many fully furnished rooms as it used too. It's become more of a museum of history and art. The catering is much improved and there are lots of activities around the castle. There's a Kid's Discovery Zone inside the castle. You should come early, so you can use the whole day to explore the castle and it's surroundings.
Myrdon Corrino — Google review
Splendid views!! Lots of stairs to climb, but it is worth the energy. Stairs were not steep. Found the decor of some of the rooms to be beautiful. Best to plan to spend the day. There are many things to do like riding bikes, renting a golf cart. Several places to eat and have a relaxing snack a stones throw from the chateau.

Grant Baron — Google review
Wow this castle was very much bigger and grander than I’d imagine while the locals were telling us about the chateau that it’s a must-go. Indeed it is. There is a lot of history and stories inside the chateau with a very helpful slew of videos. The best part is the multiple translations available for the videos each plastered on different sides of the wall making it easy for many tourists to learn about its history in comfort.
Favourite room: the video room.
Favourite exhibit: the hunting room with buttons display
I’d recommend getting the iPad to view the exhibits and follow the map in the given sequence in order to fully cover the château should time permit.
There are also sprawling gardens for you to walk which we couldn’t finish and a cafe/restaurant inside the castle and another few outside the chateau to fill your empty stomachs from the long walks. The inside cafe only has light bites past lunch hour.
There is also a kids friendly room located at the top floor, there’s a “finding Wally” game there which is pretty goofy fun.
Fun fact, the chateau felt colder in the winter inside than outside. A fellow B&B owner said a similar thing too.

Beautiful castle with a rich history that clearly inspired the castle of Beauty & the Beast. It is definitely worth a trip from Paris to see this 500+ year old estate of the French monarchy.

Impressionné par le gigantisme des lieux on a un peu peur de louper des choses car pas très évident de s'orienter. Vu la taille des pièces obligatoirement cela paraît un peu vide. Mais cela reste sans conteste un château à voir.

Impressed by the gigantism of the place, we are a little afraid of missing things because it's not very easy to find our way. Given the size of the rooms it obviously seems a little empty. But it undoubtedly remains a castle to see.

We have been there at the Eastern Holiday. We started our tour after 20 min wait for security confirmation which is acceptable.
It is worth to wait. We bought head phone application and I think it was very successful to understand each room even each chair.
Improvement point is only women toilets were in use on such a busy day. You need to wait 10 more in toilet queue.

The most stunning castle I ever visited in France. The appearance is just crazy, day and night. The inside is full of history and the stairs will make dizzy. The food in the restaurant was really good they using products hunting from the gigantic park of the castle. You can access to the roof to have to closer to look of the dome.

Chambord castle or palace is the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited in my entire life. It’s a one in a lifetime experience. I can’t rate this castle high enough. If I could rate it higher I would. We spent there almost 3 hours and the time went so quick. I could not believe it. I didn’t want to leave the castle as it was so gorgeous everywhere you go to.
The gardens surrounding this palace are magnificent. They well looked after. You can also view them from the roof that you have access to.
You definitely need to visit this stunning piece of architecture, engineering and work of art.

I absolutely adore this Chateau!
During my visit, it happened to be a quiet weekday in winter, so there weren't many visitors around. It was such a delight to explore the grounds without the crowds and have the opportunity to take plenty of photos without any distractions.
Even though I only had about 2 hours to spend, I managed to cover most of the areas. If you find yourself with limited time, I still highly recommend making a trip to this Chateau. It's definitely worth it, and you'll be able to make the most of your visit regardless of the time constraints.

Château magnifique de l'extérieur comme de l'intérieur, certaines pièces sont peu décorées mais les décorées sont vraiment sublimes.
Visite agréable (venir le plus tôt possible pour moins de personnes au début de la visite).
Le prix en vaut la peine et surtout gratuit pour les moins de 25 ans !
Durée de visite plutôt longue si on fait la totalité du château mais possibilité de restaurant à l'intérieur du château.

Magnificent castle from the outside as well as the inside, some rooms are poorly decorated but the decorated ones are truly sublime.
Pleasant visit (come as early as possible for fewer people at the start of the visit).
The price is worth it and especially free for those under 25!
Rather long visit if you do the entire castle but possibility of a restaurant inside the castle.

My entire family really enjoyed the chateau. My kids and husband were not very excited when I first mentioned it, but even they begrudgingly admitted afterwards that it was really neat. The grounds are really incredible and the chateau itself was amazing. It’s so huge that it’s hard to make sure you haven’t missed anything. We stayed in Orleans and did a day trip out- it was perfect. It was late March and the cherry tree blossoms were just blooming… I think a week later would have been perfect. Going during the off season was amazing- it was the weekend and it wasn’t crowded at all.
The Chartres Cathedral is an exquisite twelfth century Gothic cathedral that transports visitors back in time. The cathedral is filled with relics, intricate stained glass windows, and hundreds of tiny statues depicting the life of Christ, all of which makes it a fascinating place to visit. In addition to its beauty, the cathedral also houses around 5 museums worth checking out.
We stayed in Chartres for a day on our way to Rennes and stopped there to see the Cathedral which is part of UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. We love Gothic cathedrals, and this is one of the most impressive cathedral we've seen. Surprisingly, It is a tad taller than Notre Dames in Paris. There has been extensive renovation work done in past 10 years and it is quite striking to compare between before and after renovation. When we came, the main entrance door was closed, probably because the mass was ongoing, but we were able to enter from the right side entrance. We were totally blown away by the beauty of the place, the statues both inside and out, the stain glasses and even more so by the wall of sculptures all around the choir. It took 200 years to complete it!!! I highly recommended to see the Cathedral if you travel by Chartres.

What an amazing experience! An amazing cathedral. The love everything was built with on and in this unique monument, is breathtaking! It is really astonishing how people managed to create such wonders centuries ago and with what tools?
When visiting France, visiting Chartres just for its cathedral is a must!
Unbelievable! ❤️
Dimitris Petrakis — Google review
Grand. Historical. Not crowded at all. May not been as famous as Notre Dame in Paris, but no less magnificent without all the hassles in the busy city. Watch out for Google directions though, it led us through a restricted pedestrian zone which was barred from outside traffic on tiny one lane streets. Thankfully the parking attendant pitied us and let us through but it was a nightmare. Be sure to map to cathedral parking instead of cathedral.
Jerome Mo — Google review
Chartres Cathedral is one of Europe’s most beautiful and an experience that promises to transcend time and leave you spellbound. The cathedral stands as a testament to the zenith of French Gothic architecture. With harmonious designs, detailed rose windows, and balanced proportions, every nook and cranny speaks of the meticulous hands and visionary minds behind its creation. Every glance at Chartres Cathedral is an ode to the architectural genius of the past. Its towering spires seem to pierce the sky, and the intricate facade tells tales of craftsmanship that few structures of our time can parallel.

Amazing building and I especially loved the intricate sculptures and stained glass windows. Plus it's free ( able to donate of course) lots of work needed and scaffold up. Some bits covered but of course these things need to be restored

It's differently worth the visit with beautiful stained glass windows that are very hard to photograph. The story of Jesus in 40 Scripture scenes in great detailed the before through after his death on the cross. It was all pretty amazing and how they saved the stained glass windows during WW2 for the Cathedral. Now, you can view them for yourselves. Enjoy the Cathedral while you're in Chartres!

Our Lady of Chartres Cathedral is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture! I was in awe of the endless stained glass and detailed art carvings throughout. This cathedral is well known for housing the relic that is believed to be of the Mother Mary's veil worn during the birth of Jesus. This history of this cathedral is incredibly impressive. It's tough to comprehend the endless hours invested into the creation of this magnificent artwork, including the years of renovation. I highly encourage you to make the pilgrimage to see this unbelievable cathedral in Chartres France!

Impressive building in a pretty town. While Chartres is not as beautiful as some other French cities it nevertheless presents a very unique and homogenous center. The cathedral dominates the view. It’s surroundings are very touristic, so try to move away from it to get some food.
Guido Haak — Google review
Obviously the star in Chartres … generations have rebuilt this cathedral over and over again on this special spot … just allow yourself to be blasted away with the magnificent artwork you will see inside - small wonders of craftsmanship for centuries and centuries … if you come during the summer months you will be lucky to see some great light performance projected onto the cathedral - and on some other 10 sites in Chartres - starting when night falls and running until something like 1 am. Indeed to stroll around town (easily by foot no need for the tourist „train“) and suck in all these light shows and music performances that automatically start after sunset
Gordon M?ller-Eschenbach — Google review
Visited Chartres last week on a Tuesday afternoon. Our group enjoyed the stained glass windows, which were stunning! We spent a few hours walking around the grounds and the interior of the Cathedral.
The standouts were the stained glass, gothic architecture, and the non-existent crowds. Compared to Paris, this felt like a secluded getaway where time could be spent enjoying the Cathedral without having so many others around (we noticed probably less than 10 other tourists). This is especially key given at this time in 2023 Notre Dame in Paris is not rebuilt and is not available for entry. Come to Chartres (pronounced ‘Shart’) and enjoy the same era or architectural brilliance up close.
By the way, when mapping to Chartres, make sure to set your GPS to “Q-Park Cathedrale” and not the actual Chartres Cathedral. If you map directly to the Cathedral, your GPS might take you through the local streets some of which are very small with blocked-off access points without space for u-turns.

This is one of the best cathedrals for a day trip from Paris. The church and it's stained glass windows are very well preserved. I would strongly recommend anyone to rent the audio guide which was extremely detailed and the in-app videos and features definitely helped me to learn a lot about the history of chartres cathedral.

Amazing cathedral with beautiful colorful windows If you pay attention to details you will notice the immense maze on the floor quite entirely hidden by the benches. You could buy ticket for guided tour of cathedral tower. During the night there is a great facade light show. Different from Rouen show that is quite off topic and inappropriate this Chartres show is very well done highlighting the architecture of the facade with colorful scenes

One of the most amazing experiences I had in France. The cathedral itself is amazing. So well restored after the fire it looks like how it first must have when built.
The most amazing part however is the light show in the evening. This truly is a must see. Sensationally mind blowing.

A must see when in Chartres, during the day or after darkness when a light show uses the cathedral front as it's screen. It was nice to see the renovation of the interior which makes it look bright and airy inside, work ongoing. Don't miss it when in this beautiful French city

This cathedral is a must see! On a sunny day, the stained-glass windows shine with magical colour, the secret of which has not been revealed so far, and the magnificent sculptures describe in detail the life of the holy family and Christ.
The Musée d'Orsay is a world-renowned art museum located in the former railway station of Gare d'Orsay in Paris, France. Its collection spans the period from 1848-1914 and contains some of the most iconic paintings and sculptures produced during that time. The museum is popular with tourists, who visit for its vast array of impressionist and post-impressionist art.
One of my favorite museums in Paris for the temporary and regular exhibitions. The diversity of the collections is simply impressive. Another interesting side is the architecture of the museum. Last and not least the unique restaurant which is a regular step in every visit I do to this place. The view is stunning, the interior is so rich (ceilings, walls,…). I recommend this place with no hesitation!
Ghassan Yammine — Google review
Our most favorite museum in Paris. It's a wonderland if you are a fan of impressionist art. Admire the location of an old train station with its iconic clock aside from all the wonderful art on display from the greats including Monet, Rembrandt, Picasso, and many others. Prepare to spend half a day here if you really want to soak in the museum. Definitely buy tickets in advance for a timed slot if you do not want to spend hours just in queue, especially if you plan to visit during high season. If you are visiting only one museum in Paris make it this one.
Arani Das — Google review
This is the best museum I've been to because they carry so many of my favorite painters (the impressionists like Van Gogh, Cezanne, Manet,etc). This was better than the Louvre as it had a better collection in my opinion, but also because it was more manageable and had less people. The louvre was insanely crowded.
Jason Fair (Nomadic Nerd Project) — Google review
What an amazing museum. The architecture of the railroad station is a stunning setting for a “modern art” gallery. We were visiting on a Sunday so we started early at 10am. By midday the place was getting pretty busy. I’m glad we got the place to Preakness for a couple of hours. The temporary exhibit about the early years of cinema was really eye opening and beautifully presented. I’ve attached some photos of my favourite pieces.
Aron Steg — Google review
Wonderful museum holding paintings, sculptures, and creations of world renowned artists. Definitely don't miss it if you're in Paris.
Get the tickets online or Paris Museum pass to skip the long line. We went on a Thursday afternoon and it was way less crowded than the Louvre and it felt easier to stroll the museum more leisurely. Much smaller than the Louvre. We spent around 2 and a half hours here and enjoyed it a lot.
Angela Chen — Google review
I like this museum better than the louvre especially the beautiful room on the second floor and the impressionist and post impressionist displays. Definitely recommend. It took me 3-4 hours to see the whole museum. They have cute restaurants here too u would have liked to try. Good gift shop! Recommend getting tickets ahead of time.
Christina Huynh — Google review
I booked tickets without a timeslot and arrived half an hour before the museum opened. I expected to wait in line for a long time but at 9:30 the line moved fast and I went straight in.
The museum is very pretty in a renovated train station. I spent almost 4 hours here. There are many beautiful impressionist and post impressionist artworks.
Miranda Drew — Google review
A great museum, large with multiple floors and covers some of history's finest in Van Gogh, Rodin, Monet etc.
You can buy tickets online or get them free if you are 18-26 and an EU citizen. Otherwise if you miss the online sales get there early (around 9:00AM) so you can pickup one at the door for €2 less and pop right in.
Lots of gift options inside as well as a restaurant and cafe. The building itself is elaborate and beautiful.
If sculptures and impressionist paintings aren't your thing don't go here. Otherwise, enjoy!
Hendrick Lai — Google review
One of my favorite tourist spots for a first timer for Paris. This museum was easier to tolerate than the Louvre... I find the artworks in here more elegant and stylistic than the classic Louvre, which is boxy and less ornate and incredibly crowded to even stand being in there for an hour. This museum by contrast was easy to see in one visit and it was extremely satisfying.
Sarah Myers — Google review
Can this be anything but five stars? This houses one of the greatest collections of art on the planet. What really surprised me is how manageable it is in terms of size. It’s actually possible to do most of the galleries in one visit. I have not expected that, I think it helps that the grand concourse through the center is a glorious open space, filled with statuary that provides a respite from the intimacy of the galleries
Peter Griffith — Google review
I am a fan of the impressionists and this place is awesome!
Did a 90 minute guided tour which was well worth it both for the easy getting in and out, as well as for the help navigating the museum.
Much smaller than the Louvre, but still very large.
We came as it opened and it was not very crowded, definitely saw some lines when we were leaving.
Zinger Learns — Google review
It does not disappoint. My favorite floor was obviously the fifth but there is so much more as well. I had been reading about these paintings for twenty years but to get to see them in person is so different. It felt surreal and I love the layout of the museum and the friendly staff made it feel all the more dream like to me. Just standing in such close proximity to these beautiful pieces of art, that have inspired people for so many years, it was honestly hard to leave. Luckily there are lots of comfortable places to sit and although it’s a busy place for the most part, we felt like we weren’t rushed or that we couldn’t see what we wanted to see. All of the tags are in English and French, and their are English and other language maps available for the whole museum.

Amazing museum. All the paintings was exposed with such an amazing way that was very easy to understand the emotional situation that the artist wanted to show. Do not hesitate to take audio guide.If you do not take you will miss some very important information for the artist. Also there are some very unique collections that unfortunately are only for a few days per year.

Exploring Musée d'Orsay on the first Sunday of the month was a fantastic decision. Not only did we get to experience the museum's world-class collection, but the added bonus of free entrance made the visit even more memorable. The usual entry fee being waived on this day is a thoughtful gesture that allows art enthusiasts and curious minds alike to immerse themselves in the museum's offerings.
From the moment we stepped into the grandeur of the building, we were captivated by the architectural beauty that seamlessly blends history with art. The natural light filtering through the iconic clock windows added a touch of enchantment to the entire experience. The layout of the museum is well-planned, allowing us to navigate through the different sections with ease.
The vast array of artworks, especially the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, left us in awe. Standing face-to-face with iconic paintings and sculptures that we had only seen in books was an exhilarating feeling. The informative plaques beside each exhibit provided valuable insights into the artist's life and creative process, enhancing our understanding and appreciation.
The staff at Musée d'Orsay deserves special mention for their warmth and knowledge. They were more than happy to answer our questions and engage in discussions about the art pieces, making the visit even more enriching.
Visiting the Musée d'Orsay on the first Sunday of the month was not only a smart way to save on entrance fees but also an opportunity to connect with art and history on a deeper level. This initiative reflects the museum's commitment to making art accessible to all, and we left with a renewed sense of appreciation for the artistic wonders housed within its walls.

Ha! Things are never like in the movies! Have seen small portions of this museum, 1 or 2 folks pass by as the star sits quietly, contemplating the picture. Yeah, right!
Never has happened; I went through the museum on a weekday, and it was fairly crowded. From what I could tell and comments from some folks who have been there before, crowds are the norm.
One example is the Mona Lisa, right? I was able to get through a crowd of non-moving folks just standing there. Fortunately, I have long arms able to elevate my arms up high enough to get a job picture. I think.
Absolutely a must visit when in Paris! Only note I would add is that you really need days, if not weeks to fully see and enjoy all of this world class museum.

My favorite museum in the world. The setting in a former train station is completely unique and impressive. The sculptures and paintings, concentrated from the pre- to post - impressionist era, are truly breathtaking. The sheer size of some paintings is mind boggling, with unbelievable detail and unmatched artistry. I will be back many times.

Fantastic museum with great impressionist collection, beautiful building, we spend there 3h which was a minimum time needed. The best introduction into Van Gogh as his exposition was amazing. Highly recommended

We visited the fantastic Musée d'Orsay in Paris in the morning to avoid the crowds. Prior to our visit, we had pre-booked our tickets, making it effortless for us to gain admission without waiting in line. The museum is a must-visit for art lovers, as it boasts one of the most significant collections of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. We were amazed by the vast collection - we had never seen anything like it before! Seeing the artworks that we had only previously seen in art books in person was incredible.
Patrick Min — Google review
Amazingly beautiful building, the entry fee is worth it just to see the architecture. There are lots of historic art depicting culturally significant events/people/landscapes in the lower sections. However, the impressionist and more modern art of Gauguin, Van Gogh and Monet were amazingly beautiful and I was deeply moved. Would highly recommend.
Jack Mckay Fletcher — Google review
Absolutely loved this museum. I recommend starting in the impressionist art because there are a ton of gems here and it can be easy to get overwhelmed and tired. We went through the art eras that we appreciated the most and then were able to cruise through the other art and sculpture during the second half of the day. Came during the free Sunday visit and highly recommend to purchase tickets ahead of time to skip the crazy long wait lines

So much to see. (I don’t spoil here.) Recommended to go for a half day if you like arts. You can buy ticket and book a visit time slot online before you go (for a shorten queue for entrance). Otherwise, onsite tickets are available too.
Isabel Chu — Google review
Wonderful museum of Impressionism art. A definite visit if you go to Paris for art lovers. There is quite a few sculptures as well to enjoy.
Tips: buy tickets in advance online from their official site. All kids under 18 are free.
Start on the fifth floor (where all Impressionism works are) towards the front of building then go to back and descend for furniture floors (3 and 4 floors), then the lowest two floors have sculptures and paintings before impression period.

It's a must for art lovers to visit the Musée d'Orsay when staying in Paris. Whether it's a temporary exhibition or the museum's permanent collection, all the art on display is simply fantastic. To avoid queuing and waiting in line it's recommended to book tickets online and in advance.
Joyful Journeys — Google review
One of the centerpieces of Paris, likely the most renowned museum after the Louvre. You can see some artists like Van Gogh, Claude Monet and Renoir, but to be quite honest they are not the ones stealing the show.
The temporary exhibitions were great, but the most beautiful thing about the museum is the renovated railway station it's set in. Here you can witness some seriously breathtaking halls full of art and the sheer scale gives creeps. The building broke me. It's beautiful.
Be warned, though. This is a huge museum and you'll probably need a better part of the day to see it.
As a bonus, if you're under 26 years old and are a student in the European Economic Area, you can enter free of charge.
It's free!

The world's most popular art museum, the Louvre houses a vast collection of artefacts from all over the world. With iconic masterpieces like Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and two statues from Greece, it is no wonder why the Louvre is so popular. With rooms devoted to furniture, tapestries, and ornate objects, there is something for everyone at the Louvre Museum.
One of the best places and 100% must visit place during the season, though you have to be careful of social distancing because Covid19 is high peak once again, may Hid protect all humanity and out loved ones.
Be safe, Enjoy life, take precautions and travel safely.
Life can never stop because of some viruses as humanity faces more challenges than this but surely protect yourself and keep safe.
Must visit, must enjoy.

It was a great visit! We had a lot of fun during the 3 hours we spent on our visit to the museum and we saw a lot of great sculptures and paintings. Definitely recommended to buy the tickets in advance so you have to wait less time at the entrance queue and bring some food of your own so when you finish your visit you can have something to eat (if you don’t want to spend any money in the cafeteria).
Sergio Mart?nez — Google review
One of the best museums in the world. If you love art, you can literally spend an entire day inside without getting bored. The building is huge with so many rooms displaying artworks and artifacts from different parts of the world. Despite the crowds, I still very much enjoy my visit.

The feeling you get in front of the masterpieces is indescribable.
Definitely a must go in Paris.
The place is huge, a little complex to navigate, but every corner is a great surprise.
We bought the tickets online when we were already there.
There is a Starbucks, other cafeterias and restaurant.
There is audio guide and maps of the building.

One of my favorite places in France. It's breathtaking, the history and every room has so much to tell. You'll need one whole day to really see most of it, because the museum is really big. You must plan to be there for minimum 4 hours.
Katherine Mojica — Google review
Quite a lot of work of arts. I saw the highlights, but wished I could have seen more. Will go back definitely. We walked about three km and focused on about three statues and the Mona Lisa. It was amazing to learn a bit about the history of the museum and where all the art came from. Great to see the Mona Lisa in low season. I recommend seeing it when it’s not high season.

Visiting the Louvre was truly an amazing experience. The museum is home to some of the most renowned artworks and historical artifacts in the world, and I was in awe of the sheer beauty and cultural significance that surrounded me. From iconic masterpieces like the Mona Lisa to ancient Egyptian sculptures, the Louvre offers an incredible collection that spans centuries of human creativity.
However, one challenge I encountered during my visit was the overwhelming crowd. The Louvre is undoubtedly a popular tourist attraction, and it attracts visitors from all over the globe. As a result, certain areas of the museum can become quite crowded, making it a bit challenging to fully appreciate the artworks in a peaceful and relaxed manner.
Nonetheless, despite the crowds, the Louvre remains a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts and history buffs. The grandeur of the museum's architecture itself is worth admiring, and the vastness of its collection ensures that there is something to captivate every visitor. To make the most of your visit, I would recommend arriving early in the day or considering a weekday visit to avoid the peak tourist hours.
Overall, the Louvre offers an extraordinary journey through art and history, and even with the crowds, the experience is still incredibly enriching. Standing face-to-face with iconic masterpieces is a humbling and awe-inspiring encounter that I will cherish forever. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend exploring the Louvre and immersing yourself in the world of art and culture it has to offer.

Biblical art was absolutely breathtaking, gigantic beautiful pieces which looked magnificent in person. Without a doubt the highlight of the Louvre.
The Mona Lisa is, as expected, nothing special, but I highly highly recommend going to see it as the walk there is packed with gorgeous biblical art, and the room it’s in is also filled with this.

Spent three hours in this magnificent museum, and still didn’t see everything. Saw the obvious delights but wow, what a huge building ! Was very hot inside, but well worth a visit. Spend the day there so you don’t miss anything

The largest and most impresive and beautiful museum I have ever been to, it is a multiple day endeavor: After selectively stopping for specific masterpieces, it took me 5 hours just to get to see half of the exhibition. A truly must see, bucket list visit. You must buy your tickets online for a specific time of entry into the museum, so plan carefully your visit.
Bienvenido Del Rosario — Google review
What more to be said than everything that's written during the years about the worldwide famous Louvre museum. Yes, it is extremely big. Yes, you can spend days and days discovering the collection. Yes, the Mona Lisa is really small. Yes, the museum is overcrowded by people. Yes, there's a long waiting line. Inside this information is where the museum's only problem is hidden, It's too much of the good thing. There are so many objects and paintings in every room that it's almost impossible to focus on one thing. The Louvre does a great job in showing how versatile their collection is, but there isn't a lot of information in every room about what you're looking at. It would be an improvement if they leave more space between every painting, so you can have a good look at all the details. The building itself and the entrance with the pyramid are impressive, a pure joy to enter. Be sure to take your time or just focus on certain parts of the museum, as you'll probably lose time and be there the whole day. 4.5/5.0

Sculpture and art from three thousand years ago right up through today in an expansive edifice modified to enhance your experience. This is the quintessential art museum in a city of world class art museums. One can rent an audio tour here, which is a Nintendo, that is interactive and provides highlights and incredible insight into the more popular displays - highly recommend. The complex is so incredible as to be overwhelming.

This place is huge and one of the most visited places on earth. The museum has so much to offer and learn from, so be prepared to spend hours there (one day isn’t enough to explore
half of the museum).
A beautiful museum with timeless and priceless artifacts, which will leave you awestruck. It’s a must see in Paris.
Kindly book your tickets in advance and all roads will lead to the “Mona Lisa”.

Didn’t expect much, and was a bit surprised. It’s a nice experience with many many art pieces, among other things. It was pretty crowded and quite hard to navigate, but it’s expected for it’s size and popularity. Also, As an EU student under 25, the entrance was completely free, which is insane and thanks to France or whoever did that.
fjsop XV — Google review
Went there several times and have yet to understand how to find the Mona Lisa in one go (I’m the worst tour guide).
As for reservations:
- Make an online reservation beforehand (on the same day is fine) so that you don’t have to wait in line in front of the pyramid, you’ll scan your ticket super quickly (real time saver).
- If you aren’t an original EU citizen but are currently studying here, you’ll need to bring your student ID and a pic of your visa (student ID or ID alone doesn’t suffice) to get free entry.

The most visited museum in the world, home of some of the most famous paintings like Mona Lisa, Liberty Leading The People. Ticket prebuy is recommended. There are cafes with reasonable prices in the museum. Have a bottle of water with you, it will take 2-3 hours or more to finish. Quite crowded.

Best experience ever.
INFO:
you should wear something sport since you need to walk very much. And walk according to the map to not be lost and to have a look on all the museum.
Enjoy this amazing museum.
The imposing, domed white Sacré-Cœur Basilica was built in 1875 after the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune. It is a symbol of the conservative Catholic old guard and contrasts with the bohemian lifestyle that surrounded it. The breathtaking view from its upper parvis over Paris is a major draw for visitors.
Absolutely amazing piece of architecture and a bonus breathtaking view of the city. The church itself is beautiful and sits on a cliff where you have to take a cable car 🚠 uphill but even the view of the church from the bottom is wonderful.

This is one of the best locations to visit while in Paris. I would say first place, especially if you aren't lazy enough to walk around and inhale the spirit of old Paris. Each time we visit this Basilica we find something new!

Stunning cathedral! It is located on top of the hill of MontMartre which is such a stunning little district of Paris, like how they depict it in the movies. Winding roads, cobblestone, old buildings and little paths and stairways up, lots of explore.
You can go inside and visit the cathedral for free, and sometimes there is a live mass occurring. It is beautiful inside.
You can also see Paris from atop at a vantage point here.
Carole Wang — Google review
This was the most wonderful place I visited while in Paris! I fell in love with this cathedral the moment I saw it from afar. The outside of the cathedral is absolutely gorgeous. The inside is breathtaking. Definitely the most beautiful Cathedral I’ve ever been to. They offer the Eucharist at various times of the day as well as confessions. I arrived early in the day, therefore I didn’t have to wait in line to enter. I spent 3-4 hours here.
Stephanie Sanchez — Google review
This place was unexpected. Our tour guide took us here without having known of it prior to going and boy were we surprised how beautiful and amazing it was! From the first time we saw it while walking up through the alley to the time spent walking through the church to admire all the detail we were captivated! And if that wasn’t enough when you walk out you will see some of the best views of Paris! It is well worth the trip! Do some research before going if you require any assistance getting around as there are cobble streets and a steady incline getting to and leaving the area.

There it stands beautiful on the top of the hill. Breathtaking! Climbing up the stairs I was astonished by the wonderful views of the city and the history marked on every step. Free admission. Totally worth the stairs climbing.
Rand AR — Google review
One of the best places to visit. The white domed cathedral located in Paris is an amazing place to see. The view is great from the cathedral. There is a metro station nearby and you need to climb a few steps to reach the hill top. The cathedral is beautiful from both outside and Inside. The view of Paris is stunning. There is also a cable car directly to the hilltop.
Mohammed Riyan — Google review
One of the most beautiful (and most busy) churches in Paris. You can take the tram or hike up a few flights of stairs. We got lucky and saw a service in process. The music acoustics were amazing. Small prayer candles (€2) large candles (€10). Cash and card are accepted. It is 7€ to go the top look out portion, 270+ Steps! No bathrooms. Tons of vendors selling souvenirs by the steps. If you walk down to the street there are plenty of other souvenir shops. Definitely a must see! Worth the steps to see the view!
Ps, Bring a lock and key if you and your loved one want to place your lock on the exterior fence.

It is a beautiful white cathedral spotted at a really high place of the French capital, Paris. From there is possible to see almost whole city.
And to get inside of the edification is possible too, from where you can have even better view of Paris, after climbing the tower. The inside is also nice.
Other nice touristic place of this city!!!

What a magnificent cathedral inside and out. It offers a quiet atmosphere and you can visit a magnificent temple. From the outside, you can enjoy a wonderful view of Paris. Easy to access, there's a cheap cable car/funicolare.

A beautiful basilica Sacré-Cœur (Funicular) in France. Standing on top of a hill, vastly looking with white doms and a wide scenic view of Paris city from the church boulevard. Amazing external and internal architecture with an ancient look. We have to climb many steps and can use the transport system of an inclined elevator to the top from the bottom level for the cost of 2 euros. Very interesting to understand the culture and the belief. We can see many tourists fixing the padlocks on a fence as part of their love. Surrounding we can see many artists sitting and drawing, painting the portraits specially in a particular area. In history Pablo Picasso and many artists who spent their time over there. Tourists can get their portraits painted or pencil sketched and buy souvenirs from there. A really peaceful place to visit in Paris.

35 Rue du Chevalier de la Barre, 75018 Paris, France
The 13th-century Notre Dame Cathedral is famous for its spire, gargoyles, and intricate Gothic architectural details. The cathedral was almost destroyed in a 2019 fire but some of the buildings that survived include the South Rose Window and archaeological crypt.
Breathtaking architecture as always. I have visited the cathedral before the fire and currently after it. It is really sad to get to see how the fire impacted it you cannot go inside anymore and all you can see is the outside of it now. Still beautiful and worth looking into it from the outside
Currently under construction. All of our hearts broke with the tragic huge fire, but we have hope that the cathedral will be back. The plan is to restore in the 19th Century design, and at this time is is under construction. Lots of work around. Heartening to come and witness the rebirth.
MariuS — Google review
This is by far, one of the most beautiful and dazzling cathedrals I have ever visited, maybe also because of all the story behind it. The architecture is amazing and just being there is an out of this world experience. Everything gels near this spot and there are so many options for the visitors nearby to go as well.
I had the opportunity to visit short before the fire in 2019 and I could see it inside and from the top too. I hope they finish restoring it sometime soon as nothing beats going inside it and seeing Paris from its top tower.
So, I hope to come back soon. I recommend this visit 100% 🙌🏼

This church within the heart of Paris is an absolute must-see. Here, you'll experience amazing Gothic architecture and history. Whenever it's able to repoen, I'd urge everyone to see this in person at least once in their lives. It's truly breathtaking. Note that the pictures are from before the unfortunate fire.

This famous cathedral is simply impressive, even if it is half covered by scaffolding and is closed to the public. We enjoyed walking around the outside and reading all the informative signs. Amazing to think how old it is and that construction took 400 years! It is great to see it being restored and will be very interesting to tour once it is completed.

Revisit this again, after the fire. Even though we cannot get inside, there are still lots of people in the plaza, admiring the Cathedrale from outside. There are also lots of information board addressing the reconstruction plans, pointing out interesting features, and so on. Still an interesting stop in my short revisit of the city.

So we just got here on Christmas Eve and this was one of the must sees for us. Well unfortunately it was closed for work. So we were not able to go inside but it was still one of the most amazing cathedrals we’ve seen. It looks from the look of the construction it is going to be even better. You can still good views of it so it is still a must stop to take a look

A lot people of visit this place although everyone knows it’s currently being rebuilt again after the fire incident(couple of years ago). There are some really nice places around and nice restaurants around from kebabs, Indian and Middle Eastern and Turkish etc. Perfect place for lunch, snack and dinner. just across the bridge there’s famous Shakespeare and company cafe. Really busy place to be honest. I would love to spend few hours around this place. If you are using big bus then there’s a stop just across the street.

Even though the Cathedral was closed, due to the work of restoration, still there are different displays all around the church that show you the inside as well as detailing the different works necessary to bring the cathedral to its original glory. The Cathedral looks really beautiful also from the outside and even though it is temporarily closed still there are a lot of people who visit it, just to get a glimpse of it.

Beautiful Parisian site to see while visiting the city. It’s currently closed for tours but the outside is open for site-seeing. It’s just beautiful. The whole place is big—a lot of art and detail to try and process. Coupled with the history of the location, it’s a lot to wrap your mind around. The area is beautiful as well. The cathedral is close to metro stations, and is built for foot traffic.ale sure to add this to your list of must-sees during your time in Paris.

It is a cathedral with a breathtaking architecture. However, after the fire that broke out in April 2019, restoration work of the cathedral is still underway. Hence the visitors are not allowed to enter the cathedral yet (as of April 2022). You can get a magnificent view of the cathedral from outside, if you go on a River Seine cruise at dusk.

It was disappointing that 3/4 of the structure was covered/surrounded by tall metal panels that you couldn’t see through. Even though it’s burned and under construction I would have loved to see more of it. They erected a set of bleachers on the square for the public to sit and look at the front, but to see any of the rest you have to cross the Siene to see over the panels and through the scaffolding.

Historical and beautiful cathedral that is a must visit when in Paris. A lot of people outside church playing music and hanging out. The fence around the church details facts and stories of this church like when it was built and what happened the day it unfortunately caught on fire. It details all the damage it suffered and much more. Apparently the church is supposed to open again for visit in the fall of 2024. Hopefully next time I visit it will be open for tourists again.
Guillermo Rangel — Google review
While it was closed at the time due to the reconstruction work it's still an impressive site. At present there are various displays on the surrounding fences detailing the history and work taking place to restore the Cathedral to its former magnificence.
To one side there is a large stepped platform where you can climb up to take a photo or simply sit and enjoy the view.

Visited here at the weekend. And whilst it is still closed there's a lot of information via the app and on the wall graphics.
It's great to see the new spire and I believe that a free exhibition is opening soon to explain a lot more about the restoration work after the fire.
Wil Chung — Google review
Great historical building but nicer churches nearby. The amount of tourists and traffic mean the atmosphere here is hectic and not enjoyable, even without the reconstruction efforts the volume of people and cars mean the area is packed, loud and not solemn.
Jason Bradley — Google review
It's a really beautiful place. Doesn't matter if it's winter, autumn, summer or if it's sunny or rainy. It will always be an iconic place. The place is not open to the public yet, but you can sit outside and take pictures in front of the building. Sometimes others come here and do some kind of performance here and there are places to sit and watch the performances with the Notre Dame on the back.
You will find painters in the near, also in front of or there is another beautiful church, the Abbey Bookshop and the Oldest Tree in Paris. So, a lot to see in this area. Enjoy yourself here.

This is a beautiful building, we visited during the rebuilding after the huge fire, it was still amazing and can’t wait to return once she reopens to the public. 10/10 for history and architecture, to forgot to take a visit into the underground crypt next to the cathedral it is well worth a visit.

Awe inspiring cathedral still under restoration & not open. There is a viewing stand in the courtyard to watch the progress & a storyboard running the full length of the fence that explains how restoration is being done. Even though we didn’t get to go in, just seeing the cathedral & witnessing the restoration is worth the visit.

6 Parvis Notre-Dame - Pl. Jean-Paul II, 75004 Paris, France
The theme park Astérix Park is located in France and is dedicated to the stories of Asterix. It features family-friendly rides, shows, and costumed comic book characters.
Parc Astérix is one of the most famous park in France, everybody knows Astérix and Obelix The characters of the comic strip of the same name, What a pleasure to enter their universe and discover a park for young and more especially at this end-of-year period when the magic of Christmas continues with the shows, the Christmas markets, the enchanting setting and especially the end-of-day fireworks to fill our eyes even more. We were delighted and amazed at that day.

Fairly compact park, so 4 year old can walk. Though letting people get some stroller like devices could be beneficial. Some rides do not mention height at the entrance, so check your paper map of the park to avoid waiting in line for no reason.
This paper is the ONLY source of height requirements for kids accompanied by adults. I think approx 2/3 of rides can be done by persons above 1m height. 3 year old boy enjoyed all the rides. Water rides usually makes you wet in this park, except one big water rubber tire ride.
Public Holiday early June had 1 hour waiting lines for the most popular ride, few had more than 20-40 minutes. You can pay extra to enter at the exit lanes. Plenty of WC, no lineups.
App is in English and useful to know lineup times, everything else about this park is in French. App does not show height requirements, also web does not, except sometimes for adults.
Hotel bookings give you 30 min early access to 3 rides, only 1 of these are available for persons at 1m height - none below this height.
Though along a Paris toll road, you do not need to pay toll to access the park if coming from nearby onramp suggested by Google maps.

Absolutely amazing, loved it so much. The best amusement park I've ever been to. The rides were very fast and wild, but safe of course. Highly recommend to anyone. Its better to come by private vehicle if you can. There is no direct bus or train to the park. Usually you could take RER B and get off at the airport and find the Park Asterix bus and proceed from there. RER B was not working on the day we left, so we had to resort to taking the direct airport bus, which was packed and overflowing with people. So just keep that in mind.

The parc itself is ok, and would have been a 4/5 if it hadn’t been for the multiple rides that broke down (multiple times) during our visit, including one while we were on it. Parking was also a bit disorganized, with employees taking payment upon entering using a paper ticket. And even though it was very busy, at least half of the concession stands were closed, meaning long queues at the ones that were open. Compared to other parcs in Europe (Europa or Efteling), this isn’t quite up to par.

Nice park with thrilling experiences.
Not as crowed as Disney, and very recommendable if you are an Asterix fan.
The only thing I would point out is that all the shows and signs are in french and there is not translation to any other language, so sometimes it is hard to understand what they are saying.
Anyway, amazing experience.

Great roller coaster experience. I would definitely recommend to a spend a day here. You can come with your bag. Do not forget to bring bunch of water because they are charging 3.30 for water which I think is crazy. At least water price would be lower. Staff is friendly and cautious.

Great and massive place, but I believe you need for sure 2 days! Even though it is far from Paris, it's worth the effort!

I love it. The park is nicely decorated. What I like about it is that there are a lot of rollercoasters for adults and not only for kids like in Disneyland. I put 4 stars because the waiting time is way too long. 1h30 approx for each rollercoaster.

Can't believe it took me this long to visit, but normally we drive past on our way to Disneyland and then we've had our share of theme park excitement for a while. This Halloween however we made it a point to visit and try the new coaster.
Both Toutatis and the park surprised, as did the hotel and Halloween celebrations. We'll definitely return.

We had the best time at this Parc and hotel. Highly recommend. Great for family or thrill seekers. Exceeded our expectations. Queues midday were getting long. So recommend the fast passes in peak season.

Brilliant and cheap alternative to Disneyland. The rides are brilliant, plenty for the under 1m children. If you go through the week you pay less when booking online. Good at the park is a decent price also but if you can take a packed lunch, it’s an extremely cheap day out. I paid €160 for 5 of us for the whole day. Be aware that it’s €20 to park in their car parks for the whole day but it’s well worth it.

Parc Astérix has been on my places to visit for a very long time, and with the announcement of Touatis, their new launched coaster - I decided it was time to book that trip! After staying the night at their on-site hotel Les Quais de Lutèce (see my separate 5 star review for that) we headed on into the park for a very long day.
As it was their Peur sur le Parc event when we visited, the park was open from 9am until 1am! I didn't think there would be enough to keep us entertained for that long - but I was wrong.
Parc Astérix is a truly excellent theme park, it's well themed, has a fantastic selection of rides and attractions and is operated with maximum efficiency - meaning that even an extremely busy Saturday around Halloween, most wait times for major coasters didn't go over an hour. The only other park I've seen in Europe with this level of efficiency is Europa Park in Germany.
There are some truly outstanding roller coasters in their lineup. Toutatis is their new for 2023 launched roller coaster, and this thing packs a punch. It's absolutely outstanding, but really comes to life in the back rows, especially at night - what a ride! OzIris is another incredible ride, and is now my favourite suspended roller coaster in the world (and I've ridden over 20 of them) - it's simply a delight to ride and the back row is incredibly intense and fun at the same time.
There are plenty of other notable rides that I enjoyed, including Tonnerre 2 Zeus, a massive and relentless wooden coaster, Pegasus Express, a unique a fun family roller coaster and Trace Du Hourra, the longest bobsled roller coaster I’ve ever been on. There’s also a great selection of other rides and attractions, as well as plenty of water rides for the summer - Romus & Rapidus were some especially fun river rapids!
The Halloween event Peur sur le Parc was absolutely fantastic. We stayed all day, and riding their rides in the dark was really spectacular. The park is really well decorated, and offers so many different horror mazes and attractions, and all were such high quality too. Honestly, it was one of the best days out I’ve had in a very long time.
Overall, the whole park is incredible, and I would happily visit Parc Astérix over Disneyland Paris any day. They seem to really care about their park and guests, and it really shows throughout the whole experience. I look forward to seeing what they build in the future to make it even better!
Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is a stunning 17th-century chateau surrounded by formal gardens, offering a remarkable blend of architecture and natural beauty. The interior is steeped in history, with well-preserved decor elements that transport visitors to the XVIII century. The audio guide provides an engaging tour, complementing the overall experience. A highlight is the impressive kitchen, adding to the chateau's allure. Visitors can also enjoy dining at the on-site restaurant and bar area.
Beautiful and well maintained chateau. The building architecture really amazing. This chateau inspired King Louis XIV built Versailles. Have been here very long time ago.

Beautiful castle though quite pricey. Well cared for and a well done audio guide in the price included.
Impressive and important in history. A nice visit. Our daughter of 6 even enjoyed it. The food in the self service restaurant at the beginning is a recommendation!
There is much to see and discover. If your kids want to dress up, they need to be at the dress room between 12 and 14.

This is an absolutely incredible place. The chateau is beautiful and you are able to tour so many rooms. They have a great audio tour in many languages that is really well done. The gardens are wonderful. You are able to walk for hours if you choose. They do rent golf carts if you want to get around quicker. This is a highly recommended place that is no too far out of Paris.

Many people think this is the most beautiful chateau in France. There ia a parking just in the front gardens close at 7 pm but the last access to the chateau is at 4:45. We arrived at 4:30 and it was just for us nobody was there the parking was empty and only a small group of people in the castle. Highly recommended.

It was a great experience to be out in the French countryside and learn a bit of history without the massive crowds similar to Versailles. Taking a golf buggy around the grounds was a fun way to see everything and take pictures as quickly as you can. Food was very traditional French fare in the restaurant, which was an experience by itself (Andouille sausages, for example).
A must for anyone who wants to experience chateaus without being overwhelmed by the crowds.

Simply the most magical and magnificent historic moment in all of France... possibly all of Europe. Better than Versailles. Go go go see it. You won't be disappointed. It was an honor just to go. Plan to spend an entire day. Clean bathroom and great food as well. Cart rentals to see the grounds are available and worth the small fee.

Better than Versailles in my opinion. Gorgeous, very well cared for, the staff are pleasant, and the audio tour is a theatricality done history which is quite well executed. Also, way less crowded than Versailles and other places. A reasonably priced cafe and you could actually have a picnic. Highly recommend! I've spent a lot of time in France and it gets my top recommendation.

Beautiful house with a fascinating but sad history. A lot of passion went into planning this house and gardens. We spent an extra 5 euros to go up to the dome where we could look out. I recommend this if you are agile. The spiral staircase to the top is narrow. My mom is 85 and she did it, though. Spectacular views at the top.

Great bit of history. The chateau is more raw than Versailles, which makes it quite interesting l. Being a good drive out of Paris, there are fewer people. Be sure to stay for the light/projection show at dark. We had a great day out.

Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte offers a fun experience, beautifully merging history with impeccable maintenance. From the moment you step onto the premises, the castle’s grandeur captures you.
The audio tour is particularly enjoyable, offering fun and insightful narratives about the historical figures. It's an engaging way to dive into the castle's past. The interior is a visual treat, with each room meticulously decorated.
The bar/restaurant by the entrance is a gem, serving delicious food that perfectly rounds off the visit. Highly recommend for a day out exploring European history.

How there are not more visitors at this chateau is completely beyond me, it is unquestionably superior to so many of the larger chateaus that receive more visitors. It is such a marvel of architecture and the way it compliments the gardens is perfection. The inside of the house is full of history with a good tour.
A walk to the Hercules statue is an absolute must and not too far. The view from the statue down over the chateau is incredible and really gives perspective.
The little kiosk outside does lovely crepes as well!

There is a lot of decor elements in very good condition. The interior light also creats a magic atmosphere of XVIII century. The audio guide is a good accompaniment to the visit and it's not boring at all. However the most impressive part is a kitchen of the chateau.
There is also restaurant and bar zone on the chateau area. Highly recommended to plan your visit for candles night pick nick during summer time.

Photographing weddings at Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte in France is a truly exceptional experience.
The breathtaking 17th-century architecture and the magnificent formal gardens offer an unparalleled romantic setting.
The grandeur and elegance of the château, along with its beautifully manicured landscapes, provide a stunning backdrop for capturing timeless moments.
Each wedding at Vaux-le-Vicomte is like stepping into a fairy tale, making it an extraordinary location for any wedding photographer.

Parc Walt Disney Studios is one of the two theme parks that make up Disneyland Paris, featuring areas dedicated to movie and TV related attractions. It may not be as large as the main park, however it offers rides more suitable for younger children such as the popular Cars ride. The Hollywood Tower and Ratatouille are considered to be two of the main attractions in this park, which boasts a beautiful setting and aims to create an atmosphere reminiscent of Walt Disney's production studios.
Not as big as the main park but I found this to be better for my 2 year old as the rides were more to his liking and he really enjoyed the Cars ride, he had to go on it countless times. Unfortunately the section where they did the stunt show wasn’t open which was a shame as my son would have loved that show but he enjoyed it nonetheless.

This is not my first amusement park and I have something to compare. If we consider that this park is 30 years old, then a lot can be done indulgence. Compared to Disney World in Orlando, this Disneyland in Paris is nowhere near.
There are a lot of old attractions, with old chairs, against which the head beats very hard during the attraction. I think that for children under 10-12 years old it can still be interesting. The attraction Flight to the Moon, converted into Star Wars, looks unconvincing and ridiculous. We visited 2 parks here. Here are the attractions that are definitely worth a visit: Hotel Hollywood, Ratatouille, Cars, Star Tour, Pirates, RC Racer, Riverboat, Parachute drop.
Convenient location, right next to the metro station. There are fountains with drinking water in the park.
Park security is good. We had a Swiss folding knife with us, which was not allowed at the entrance. We left it in the luggage room at the metro station.

Great park. I love the Avengers Campus. There's lots to do here and you can dodge the queues using the app. It gets quiet here in the evening so aim for the bigger rides then.
Donna — Google review
We had booked a 2-day ticket for both parks in advance, then spent a full day at Disneyland and a full day at Studios. Beautiful and quite exhausting. Good preparation is important - snacks, water, comfortable shoes and sunscreen. Plan your time wisely, it can get very exhausting. Food and drinks are available in small snack bars or restaurants (don't forget to make reservations), prices for them are quite high.
There are a lot of stores with souvenirs, so plan a little extra money.
Queues at the rides can be very long, sometimes up to and over an hour. We occasionally bought the paid Premier Access to skip waiting time. A quick option can also be the Single Ride entrance, you don't sit next to your partner, but you don't have to wait in line as long.
After 9 p.m., the queues get much shorter. If you don't necessarily want to watch the fireworks every night (or are satisfied with back rows), it's the best option to wait in line only for a short time.
We loved that you can meet your superhero in person, either with booked appointments or random walking in the street.
Make nice memories and have fun!

Amazing park, they are currently constructing a lot so that does decrease the experience a little. I would suggest waiting for the construction to be finished.
They are also building Frozen Land. Nice to see that this park is finally getting some love from our American friends.

It is not the main park but in my opinion it contains two of the main attractions of Disneyland Paris, the Hollywood Tower and the Ratatouille.
The park is very beautiful and the atmosphere it intends to create is that we are in the Walt Disney Studios.
You can easily visit in the morning and in the afternoon go to the main park.

Very nice experience.
I suggest to buy the fast line pass. Because the lines and amount of people are huge. You can only enjoy 4 or 5 of the games because of the crouds. The least game to wait for without the pass is 60 minutes to 70 minutes. I regret not having the pass.

Great short weekend getaway!! A couple of things:
1. You must buy your tickets in advance
2. It’s not too big and not too small
3. Disneyland Paris has their own champagne and it is a must try for all adults!!!
4. Wear good walking shoes because you’ll be walking a ton!
5. The food and snacks are a must try treat
6. It’s mostly in French (for people that are curious) very little things have other language options
One of the happiest places on earth!!!

I'm a huge Disney fan and have been to both US parks multiple times, so it bothers me to not give 5 stars. The reason for withholding one is due to the size. It's a very small park and you can do everything in about a half day. Plans to add lands and expansions will help. What is there is really nice and the Avengers coaster is a lot of fun. It's a nice park, just not one you'll spend a while day at.
Chris Bern — Google review
It was great to re-live my childhood while being here. What astonished me was attention to detail and absolute perfection in terms of atmosphere. Few rides broke down, which is understandable. I had only one problem with the park, and it's a big one: despite the astounding atmosphere, I was quickly and often disillusioned by cash-grab attempts at every turn. Official merchandise is ridiculously expensive to a point where I wouldn't even consider buying anything. Queues at every ride kept reminding me that this is the punishment for not paying an additional 200€ for Premier pass. I would have definitely left more money in the park if everything wasn't so ridiculously expensive.

I visited this park in November and in January.
I can say it's the worst disneypark. I wouldn't recommend you pay for it unless you get it by your stay in the hotel.
The attractions are not well mentioned, and you can do everything you like in the afternoon.
There are only 2 attractions that are worth to visit, these are ratatouille and the Hollywood tower. Spiderman can be fun, but I can't say it's something special. They avengers rollercoaster is not a piece of art, but it can be fun to do (for the coaster itself and the iron man inside).
I really did not like the crush coaster. It feels like the biggest self insult of disney. Their are like 2 themed areas inside the coaster. The rest of the coaster is half black and absolutely not disney quality but more that of a cheap park.
What about the Marvel extension? It's.. pretty underwhelming, all I can say.
That you can see some heroes is fun. Also, the Avengers rollercoaster looks fun at night.
The park feels like a full identity crisis. I also hope that this will be solved with future extensions.
But for now... the park is only worth visiting for the shows, ratatouille and hollywood tower.

LOVED. Definitely buy tickets in advance. I would also really recommend buying the rapid pass because I was waiting in line for so long. It is okay without it... Just make sure to have a charger with you. Also!! Bring a backpack. When you go on rides, you will have to put your belongings behind your legs so the bigger the better.
Disneyland Paris is an entertainment hub that comprises of family-friendly rides, shows and costumed characters. The complex also includes hotels for a complete experience. Visitors can take advantage of weekday visits for photogenic opportunities while weekend visits offer more fun activities. Purchasing tickets in advance provides access to special offers, promotions and costumes for children and seniors. Easy transportation options are available through Google maps or other sources.
What a beautiful place to have fun.
If you go on a weekday, you will still be able to take a lot of good photos. If you go on weekends there will be more fun activities.
In terms of buying tickets, you should buy tickets in advance to enjoy special offers or promotions or dresses for children and the elderly.
Public transportation is also very convenient, you just need to search on Google map or ask anyone to go here very easily.

First of all this is a really great park, I visited twice and every time it is like a dream come true. Excellent decorations, extraordinary and fast rides, literally one of the best places on earth no joke. Anyone can find something in this park that will blow their mind and be their thing. Anything in there is possible.
Now the part that I am very unfortunate to write about, since my first visit there, something huge happened. They cancelled the fast-pass. To those who don't know it's a free way of "scheduling" yourself on a later hour so you can enter within 10 MAX. What they did instead is crazy (understandable because of financial reasons), you can pay 8€ per ride in order to get in quickly OR pay 1 7 0 € for a fast pass in multiple rides, that's wrong! So what? Now I can enjoy the park fully by paying almost twice the price of a ticket! Queues on a very normal weekday in September were between 40-70 minutes per ride, imagine wasting 4 hours just on standing! A not so financially stable family that would dream about coming here would waste a third of the day of a very expensive ticket on standing???
Well, I guess that is what helps Disneyland financially but that's devastating. I enjoyed it anyway and recommend you to visit and experience a one in a lifetime experience.

Fantastic experience, except restaurants and toilets are very bad and dirty. Parc is so clean, very impressive.
Lots of guests and queues, but opportunity to buy fast track will make you skip the lines.
Brings lots of snacks for the queues, if you have small kids.
You can bring your own lunch and soft drinks to save money, there are benches where you can enjoy your brought food. And believe me the food there isn’t good at all so bring something with you like grab and go.
Download the Disneyland app to have a map on your phone, where you can easily filter, whether you are looking for a toilet, a show or restaurant.
In the Disney app you can also see waiting times, so it isn’t necessary to download the waiting time app. I recommend that you do research in advance, so you have an idea of what you would like to see. For instance there was 90 min waiting for having a picture with a princess.
If you only have one day, I read that you should go for the Disneyland park. But I see why, they recommend that you use several days, as you spend a lot of time standing in lines.

Me and my partner loved every minute of it, soon as you walk through the gates you get this overwhelming feeling of excitement. My partner who is not a big Disney fan was surprised how much he enjoyed himself. The food was really good, especially the hot dogs and big pretzels!
We went on many rides, the lines for the rides weren’t overly long. October is a great time to go!

Disneyland Paris is like stepping into a magical world. It's a place where every corner is filled with fun and excitement. The rides are thrilling and make you feel like you're part of a story. The colorful parades and shows make your eyes sparkle, and meeting your favorite Disney characters is like a dream come true.
The park is big and beautiful, with lots of places to explore, like castles and fairy tale lands. The food is yummy, with treats that look like they came from a storybook. It is not just a park, it's a place where happy memories are made.

7th trip to Disney Paris, and I still love it. ❤️ The park is so beautiful well maintained the staff work tirelessly to keep it so tidy. Our favourite time to visit is November with the Christmas decorations, but this January trip was dry clear and beautiful. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The meal we had at the ratatouille restaurant was wonderful. I honestly can't find and fault. There was some rides down for maintenance but to be expected in the quiet season. We will be back!

Simply an amazing place. If you want to see a significant part of the park when you arrive, you should reserve at least 1 full day. If you want to participate in all activities, I recommend you get a priority pass. Otherwise, you'll be waiting too long in line. Be aware that you will be standing in line for at least 1 hour for popular activities. Pass priority tickets have separate entrances and you won't have to wait more than 10-15 minutes. Don't think it's a place for kids, there are more adults than kids and you will have a great experience.

Great couple of days at Disneyland Paris. You can easily do both parks over 2 days. I can recommend the Tower of Terror, Thunder Mountain, Phantom Manor, Ratatouille ride and Pirates of the Caribbean. If you suffer from motion sickness I would seriously avoid Star Wars hyperspace mountain, I have never felt so sick from a ride before! It is just too quick for the short sharp bursts and your head gets rattled round a bit between the shoulder pads. April was a good month to visit and didn’t have to wait long for the rides. The park was clean, plenty of places for food and drink but it is just the same food repeated in the different cafes. Merchandise is pricey so make sure you save up!! For the park tickets I used a website called Attraction Tickets who were cheapest, easy to order and got them to download to my phone within 10 minutes. Hotel - we stayed at Adagio Serris Val d Europe which is only a 15 min walk or free shuttle buses stop outside. I will definitely be staying at this hotel again and the surrounding area is brilliant and includes a shopping mall and designer outlet! There is direct transport from centre of Paris and then from park to airport. You couldn’t ask for more!

Mehhh….
For starters what I can say is, the lines were extremely disorganized when it came to entering the park. We purchased a one day ticket and boy I felt like it was their first day doing this. Anyway once inside it was beautiful and “magical.” The employees were not so polite and felt like they just wanted to do their job and go home.
The app was such a huge help and I also paid for a few rides premier access. (So completely worth skipping the lines to some rides.) The parades were very cool and I think that was my kids favorite thing at Disney. Be prepared to pick a spot at least an hour ahead to get a good view, as people start lining the street very early prior to the parades. If you forget your portable charging box (as I did) they have a charging room by the buzz light year ride. It’s actually inside of the location where the buzz light year restaurant is.
We brought a few snacks and drinks in our backpacks, but I also purchased several meals and desserts. I personally felt like the food wasn’t that expensive and was edible especially when you have been walking around the park all day. Amazing food, no, good food for hungry people, yes.
Overall I can cross this off my list and say we visited. Would I return again, absolutely not.

Despite it being very busy, I had such an amazing experience. Every cast member I interacted with was delightful. Everybody seems so happy to be there. We went on Monday and Tuesday (no holiday) and queues varied from 20-50 minutes, which was quite alright. Even if you're not doing rides, the park is great to walk around in. There's always something to see and you're really never bored.
I had some very bad interactions with guests, they can be quite inconsiderate and rude at times. But that is of course not the park's fault. Be prepared to encounter some selfish people though 😅
Prices were high, as was to be expected. But I must say that some things were strangely priced. I purchased a medium sized plush for €26 when there were minis retailing for €20, to give an example. The food was surprisingly good! Nothing to write home about, but I didn't expect this great quality.
I was very sad to return home and I'm already considering booking my next trip!

Disneyland Paris is a magical wonderland that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked through its iconic gates, I was transported to a world of enchantment and joy.
The attention to detail throughout the park is truly remarkable. Whether it's the dazzling Cinderella Castle or the whimsical Main Street, USA, every corner of Disneyland Paris is a visual feast. The park's cleanliness and well-maintained grounds add to the overall charm.
Now, let's talk about the attractions – they are nothing short of spectacular. From thrilling rides like Space Mountain to beloved classics like It's a Small World, there's something for everyone. The quality and creativity behind each experience are evident, and it's easy to see why Disneyland Paris is a top-tier theme park.
The staff at Disneyland Paris are the real magic-makers. They are friendly, helpful, and genuinely committed to creating memorable experiences. Whether you're interacting with characters, asking for directions, or dining at one of the park's restaurants, the staff's dedication shines through.
Disneyland Paris isn't just for kids; it's a place where people of all ages can relive their favorite Disney moments and create new memories. It's a world where dreams come true, and I can't recommend it enough. If you're considering a visit, prepare to be enchanted and amazed at Disneyland Paris – it's a journey you won't want to end!

The best place for family adventure! It is our second visit of this amazing park. In my opinion it is better to take your kids about 5 years, so you can fully ride on the best attractions in the park and get high emotions of being together with your kids. In the end of September it was really comfort weather, but so crowded. So for the future it is better to buy priority access at least on several attractions.
All staff work on a high level, they are really doing their job great!
Absolutely we'll be back in future!

This place is amazing! I really enjoyed it, although I'm an adult. It brings all my childhood memories back! One day is certainly not enough to discover the whole park! I recommend at least 2 days tickets, especially with smaller children. The queue could be very long at some attractions, but it worths every penny! The whole place is magical! 🥰😍

Brilliant trip! Two adults and two kids (3 yo & 6 yo). Prepare to wait an hour or more for popular rides. Characters don't walk around like they used to. They had session times they entered for photos. Mickey Mouse was 90 mins at one point.
Xmas is magical there and the parade is not to be missed. Just wrap up warm. Expect to burn a hole in your pocket.
Toad in the hole did fish and chips. Very good food for the price and pretty good service as well. Certainly need two days for one park - one day to queue for the rides and another go walk around it all.
Must do - it's a small world and Peter Pans flight.

Had an absolute blast with my Family.
Key rides were absolutely amazing, especially when you are travelling with an Autistic child... They really were very helpful and understanding. The only disappointment was the merchandise shops..
Gutted as I wanted to buy my daughter something special for her birthday, she wasn't thrilled either by the selection.
Walt Disney area was great and so was Disney Park... Not cheap but really enjoyed ourselves

After being in Tokyo and Orlando it was not not impressive. The Sleeping Beauty Castle was very nice and seemed refreshed much the park seemed in need of a bit of cleaning up and touch up. Overly crowded. No chance to get reservations for a sit down restaurant a week in advance and the lines were between 45-90 mins. Just not a value added experience. When we have to line up over an hour in advance for a show this is not worth the money. The village is way past it's prime and needs the construction that was ongoing badly. Recommend waiting at least a year before coming. Two day should be enough but the line delays were crazy. Positive note. Staff is always amazing and the night drone show and castle display were the highlight of the trip. Find your piece of asphalt early....

It's a beautiful park with a lot of attractions. A lot of attractions have a long waiting time. For kids under 3 years old not a lot to do or see, I think. If you want to save money bring food from home. The app is very nice to know where to go and how long to wait on the lines. We were there on a day during the week in March. The end of the day it was raining a lot. There are also stroller to rent. I recommend buy tickets before and if possible sleep there one night for the whole attractions to be worth complete.

Huge place. Impressive rides but lots and lots of people, even on an off day. So be Prepared to wait in lines and such. Can get some premium passes if you want to skip them. But the rides are amazing. The setup is spectacular!

First time I’ve been to a Disney theme park and I was thoroughly impressed. The park is kept meticulously clean and the build quality of the rides and theme park is the highest I’ve ever seen.
We paid for the VIP tour and our tour guide Virginie was amazing. She managed to cram in many rides and shows for us in the one day. She was also able to book a restaurant reservation for us despite it showing as fully booked on the website. I highly recommend the premier pass or vip tour because the lines are really long.
The park is crowded but manageable. Most of the park is suitable for young kids. They have a lot of family friendly rides. They don’t have as many rides for adults. The park is very stroller friendly with many ramps for use.

So far we've been to 3 different Disney Parks and this is our second favorite! The design of the park in some ways is way prettier than the park's in the U.S.
They have two options of pre-paid fast passes if you'd like.
It's pretty easy to get to from Paris.
Tips:
*Make sure to check out the Dragon under the castle 😉
*Food: If you didn't know - Disney parks are expensive! Yes, Even the food. a tiny pizza, salad, drink and ice cream cost 16€ The food in the park disappointed us. In the US, food is a big part of the Disney experience. I read online that they have Dole Whip, but they don't. We looked! We were very frustrated since no one warned us that even though the park closes at 11:00 p.m., the stores and kiosks with food and snacks close at 20:00-21:00!!!! We found ourselves looking for food. It was very upsetting.

Very nice place . Kids and adults will love it.
Very big waiting times for popular attraction 30-40 minutes so you need more than one day to visit Disney park . I recommend using the app to check waiting time before going to an attraction and also to find it faster . Lot’s of restaurants and shops so you will find everything you need .

Disneyland Paris is truly a magical destination that exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we entered the park, we were transported to a world of enchantment and wonder. The attention to detail in every aspect, from the stunningly designed attractions to the friendly and accommodating staff, was outstanding. The parades and shows were nothing short of spectacular, leaving us with unforgettable memories. The food options were diverse and delicious, catering to every taste. What sets Disneyland Paris apart is its ability to make everyone, young and old, feel like a kid again. It's a place where dreams come true, and we can't wait to return.

Disneyland is a magical Place, it transmit excitement and happiness to both children and adults. You can visit it whenever, although I have to admit, it’s a bit better during the summer season when days are a bit sunnier and you can stay for longer (closing time 11 pm). There are a few queues, for both the entrance and the games. Just have patience and enjoy the cool scenes that are all over the park. Waiting time for games can go from 5 minutes to 1 hour, you can either check the app to see what games have the least waiting time, or you can get the pass that let’s you skip the line (the ticket is way more expensive). We only stayed for one day and I believe it’s enough to visit the park. There are lots restaurants and souvenirs shops. You can even buy a pop corn basket, which you can refill at the pop corn stands. Most of the games are very chill and for children, but there are a few that are fun and thrilling. If you are staying in Paris, there is a train from Gare the Lyon that takes you exactly at the entrance of the park. Overall I recommend at all ages. Children have fun and we adults enjoy the feeling of being children again, at least for one day :).

It was nice experience. Great place to visit.
Roller coasters are not crazy at all. Most of them are designed for younger customers. Liked the Hollywood Hotel lift.
Huge queues for the coasters.
Nice theatrical performances.
The food inside is super expensive.
The souvenir shop on any corner.
The train station is located literally on the park area. 9 minutes 1 stop from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.
The park itself is super friendly for families. It was nice to be in such the environment!
The night show was absolutely stunning. Highly recommended!!

Amazing experience! The magic there is real! If you get a day pass for 2 parks you can visit Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studio - you can enter after 45 minutes again as many times as you like during that day, from one park to another! Entrance to the shops and Disney Village is free - you have a middle area where you can shop at Disney Store even without having bought a ticket! I found that helpful!
The dancing parades they do are so lovely! Will definitely visit again! ❤️✨🧚🦄

Although the park was really busy all the time we had a fast pass to skip the queues, and it was worth it.

We visited here on New years Eve. For a family experience, i would highly recommend it. However, it's not without its drawbacks.
Firstly, it is a hell of a lot of walking when here from open to close. There is a lot of standing for queues, so make sure to have comfy clothes and shoes on. It can be cold in winter months, so bring a coat that you can easily remove if you get too hit in a queue.
Make sure to prepare for paying a lot for food or sneak your own in. They do tell you no picnics allowed in side the park. But it is easy to stash sandwiches in.
People queue up for events hours early, so either be prepared to do the same or get a bad spot for them, i.e. parades, fireworks, and so on.
Rides are not adult centric, so there is not a big adrenaline boost from this park. The park is not for that, really it's for the kids. They will love the experience, and two of the coasters are great fun, thunderloop, and hyperspace.
Parking is easy enough, costs a pretty penny, though.
The fireworks show was fantastic, as was the new years ones too.
Have a great time if you do go!

Spent a day at The Happiest Place On Earth!
I visited on a Sunday, early April. The queues weren't crazy, plenty of rides we could get on within 10 minutes (pirates of the Caribbean, Cars, etc).
The Disneyland app is well worth downloading. Live updates for queue times, the map is very useful too.
Plenty of food options (including several local French cuisines).

Veel commercie, Eten en drinken en gadgets..
Shows en attracties afgelast, gesloten voor onderhoud, of omwille van weeromstandigheden... Geen idee. Lange wachttijden, die aangegeven zijn maar niet altijd correct, voor een attractie dat van (zeer) korte duur is. Zeer kostelijk.
Je moet goed te been zijn, lange wandelafstanden.
Het park wordt proper onderhouden door het personeel. En ze wensen je een goededag, bonjour.
Je kan het park gemakkelijk in een halve dag aflopen zonder attracties.

The Gothic cathedral Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Reims is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most iconic and beautiful architectural sights in all of France. The cathedral, which was built in the 13th century, features intricate stained glass windows and flying buttresses on all four sides. The cathedral is significant because it was the site of coronations for French kings from 1027 to 1825.
The cathedral is breath taking architecture and a wonder. I am trying to figure out, how could people from the past and would have appreciated the fact that this cathedral receives nowadays only or most of the time visitors? Where is faith gone? Where are the believers and Christians?

This church is stunning, the amount of detail work that’s gone into the statues which holds the record for the most figures in a church in the world is just magnificent. The glass work is eclectic and like non I’ve ever seen before, I can only imagine how it glimmers when the sun it’s the glass just right. This location is definitely the main attraction in the city and it’s definitely worth the visit.

The Cathedral of Notre-Dame of Reims is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Its stunning façade, adorned with intricate sculptures, leaves a lasting impression. Inside, the grandeur of the nave, supported by elegant columns, is awe-inspiring. The stained glass windows, renowned for their artistry, cast a kaleidoscope of colors that bathe the interior in ethereal light. The cathedral's historical significance as the site of French royal coronations adds to its allure. Despite enduring damage during World War I, meticulous restoration has preserved its magnificence. A visit to this iconic cathedral is a journey through time and a testament to human craftsmanship and devotion. It's also free to enter but has a gift shop within which supports it's funding. Highly recommended!

Hugo Potchebout — Google review
In love with our history, one day I had to visit the city of coronations and of course the cathedral. What a beautiful building filled with so much history, events. A magnificent construction. Huge and whose maintenance and restoration make it a beautiful monument dedicated to the Catholic religion and the coronations of our kings. A statue dedicated to Saint Joan of Arc is necessarily visible there. It's crowded but it's reasonable and then unlike some buildings of the same type, I found a great calm and a beautiful serenity all the same. To see without hesitation. For the duration of the visit everything depends on you, are you ready to read all the informative brochures? Are you a strong believer? So if you belong to one of two categories you will be the sole judge of your time. Otherwise in one hour you will have been able to observe the building.

A nice church to visit while on the way to champagne country.
Our tour from Paris made a brief stop here, and it made for a bit of awe and introspection.
The building itself is adorned with hundreds of statues and statues holding statues. Inside, stained glass windows give everything an intentional tinge of pink and purple hues.
Near the back, there are relics of saints and several extravagant chapels.

Amazing, if you are anywhere near Reims this is a site you shouldn't miss. It's easy to access, in a wonderfully peaceful area, and is as or more stunning than many cathedrals in the country. I could have spent days hearing about the historical coronations and critical events in the history of France that occurred at this site.

A true work of art, its size and architectural details simply take your breath away. One of the most beautiful and well-maintained cathedrals in France. Both the interior with the glass painting and the exterior with the architectural details are worth it, you will give them a good part of the time to be admired. Moreover, the cathedral can be visited with a guide in French, German, English.

Cathedral is a an absolute jewel of gothic architecture! If in Reims it’s definitely a must visit.
Great for architectural enthusiasts as well as religious pilgrims. Mass services are frequent and easy to find out.
It breathes history from medieval times, through coronations to modern post war truce meeting with German chancellor Adenauer.
My personal favorite is the smiling Angel on the outer facade.
As with every monument, expect renovations and parts of the interior/ exterior to be covered due to works.
A highlight compared to Paris is that it’s not too busy and you marvel at peace with no too many people pushing you.

Decided to head away from Paris for a day and drive out to REIMS. So glad we did as this place is an absolute gem. The cathedral from the outside is beyond words, absolutely stunning. We were lucky enough to visit when there was a service taking place and the sound of the choir within the high roof of the cathedral was joyous. Out of all the buildings we visited whilst in France this is the one.

Extremely nice building especially when you see its illuminated exterior in the evening, full of statues, big arches, colored windows, the French king was crowned here during the tumultuous years of Joan of Orleans, I think it is always good to go there, sit for a while and think... do not forget to see the Statue de Jeanne d'Arc in front door...

Amazing cathedral built in the Gothic style. Great history behind this cathedral. When visiting this Cathedral take a few minutes to sit on the benches across from the Cathedral to take in the magnificent architecture and the majestic views.
Entrance is free. I spent around 45 minutes inside - walking around admiring the architecture and also taking time to sit quietly and pray.
This is a must visit if you are in Paris. There are frequent trains.
The Zoo d'Amnéville is an independent animal park showcasing approximately 2,000 species from five different continents. Along with their animal exhibits, the zoo offers a distinctive medieval-style falconry show. Their Facebook page provides visitors with up-to-date information and photographs of their animals, as well as discussing general animal news. In close proximity to the zoo are 72 hotels and other accommodations that can be booked through Hotels.com for as low as /night.
We had a wonderful visit to Zoo d'Amnevelle. The zoo is stroller friendly and my toddler only needed a little help seeing into some of the exhibits. We watched the sea lion and the falcon show and both were amazing. Throughout the zoo, there are plenty of kiosks for food. The prices were a little steep, but not unreasonable for zoo food. We were able to see almost all of the animals. There were only a handful of exhibits where the animals were either hiding or currently not in there. We will be back for sure, we spent 7 hours at the zoo and felt like we barely scratched the surfaces on what we could see.

An older facility, but very well maintained! The place is very large with an abundance of trees of all kinds. You could almost say you are walking within a forest! Start early in order to see everything and to catch all the shows, and I suggest at 10am when it opens (closes at 5 I think). There are 3 shows not to be missed, the holographic, the seals and the birds, and these i put in order from good to better to best. You do NOT want to miss the bird show! Get there early though to get.a spot in the shade, otherwise you will burn! You also have to follow the map religiously in order to see all the animals, because the paths can confuse you a bit. There are 3 locations throughout the park where you can eat either burgers or snacks. If you eat the burgers just remember that the French cook them medium to rare, so if you like them more well done, you need to ask for it. There is plenty of parking, its free and its very close to the entrance of the park. Don't expect good souvenirs from the gift shop though, that was the only let down. All in all its a great place to visit with the kids, just plan on using the whole day!!

A fantascic zoo with mostly large enclosures, beautiful styled for its inhabitants and visitors
A super bird show showing of both beauty and skil of the participating birds as well as the skill of their handles.
Collection of large cats and some of the smaller ones, nicely done savannah, and must see bear enclosures, one of a wolverine living together with a brown bear.
A bit on the pricy side @ €33,- / adult, but with free parking and afordable hotel near.
Dinks are proced as expected €2,50 for 33cl (2022) foor on the more expensive side.
I would recommend a full day if you are fast, multiple days if you observe or photograph animals. Worth a few hours travel

Very nice place to visit with kids and family. Lots of restaurants inside and in the surroundings.
Show of birds it's a really good surprise, worth to see the 30 min presentation - check their schedule.

Few nocturnal animals, of course, were sleeping.

For being a Zoo it’s great for kids, the shows are nice and the animals are overall visible. 1 day trip well deserved. For adults it’s a little tougher depends on your view on zoos and animals in captivity… Personally feel a little sad for them and the elephants are so sad.

A zoo worth travelling to! I was surprised with how large the zoo was and how many animals there were to see. The zoo is designed beautifully and creates a very enjoyable environment. The animals also look very well looked after and energetic. I have visited many zoos where the animals are usually quite lethargic but the animals here certainly had personality! Thoroughly entertaining! One negative is that in the cafe area the ground was very active for mice.

There is a very large free car park near the zoo, well organized. The zoo itself has a wonderful selection of animals to admire. We feel that a lot of emphasis is placed on the animals living in as realistic an environment as possible. The animals and the enclosures appear well cared for. The large number of species delights young and old. There is also a petting zoo and a playground for the kids. Tip: Take a picnic with you. The food could really improved and it's from our point of view overpriced.

Once my favorite zoo in France, then the old management did some "dumb" stuff and the zoo fell into decline. Under new management now it's clearly coming back from that brink, there some way to go, but it's a great day for the family and their new projects look amazing like they used to be. Very hopeful for the future.

The neoclassical Place Stanislas is a large, impressive square in the center of the city that is home to many of the city's important sights and institutions. The square is famous for its lavish iron railings and fountains, as well as its statue of Duke Stanislaus Leszczynski.
Definitely a must visit when in that area. you can easily stay hours and look around at the gold plated astonishing buildings from centuries ago. There are Cafes to sit outside and enjoy a sunny day, the cathedral and a church in walking distance and a park to wander around.
There is a parking garage near by, with really tiny spaces but def. worth while stopping there.
There is also a Christmas market there so that is def. another great place to go during the Christmas season.
So make sure Nancy is on your list of places to see in France

I had the pleasure of visiting Place Stanislas in mid-April, and it was indeed a delightful experience. This historic square, with its stunning architecture and intricate design, is a must-visit when in Nancy. In addition to its historical allure, Place Stanislas boasts a selection of charming cafes and restaurants, perfect for indulging in delicious cheesecakes and refreshing drinks while soaking in the ambiance. For families, there's a nearby park where children can play and unwind, making it an ideal destination for visitors of all ages to enjoy a day out in Nancy.

Stanislas has a significant importance in Nancy. It was classified as the favourite monument for France in 2021 and I will tell you why from my perspective: it is historical , big that it can host a parade in december, light show in Summer and winter, 'jardin éphèmere in October' and so much more events. There are restaurants/coffes/ museums/opera around this place. You can enjoy ice cream and delicious food or just sit in the chairs for people who came to admire the place/sun or lights. In special occasions, the lights of the buildings around Stanislas change like 'pink october, ..etc'. You can also visit 'hotel de ville' and enjoy the view from above.

If you're in Nancy, you have to come here. It is the centre of the old town, surrounded by centuries of history, great, very well-maintained buildings and part of the historic route. The gleaming golden portals leading in all directions give it a special flair.

Place Stanislas is the major landmark of Nancy and one of the most beautiful squares in France, if not even all of Europe. There is no charge to enter the square and it is lovely to stroll. Many cafés and tourist shops can be found here.
A visit should take at least 20 to 30minutes and you can easily spend more time exploring the area around. It is a major tourist attraction in Eastern France and UNESCO world heritage site.

This is definitely a must go if you are in Nancy. It is just beautiful with the old town buildings and since it's the centre of the old town, there is a 15 minute long light show every night at 10PM.

A majestic Place in the charming Nancy.
You can revive the ostentatious that marked the French monarchy and have a glimpse of their peak.
Get the tour train from there for having a nice and informative trip to the most famous spots in town.

Loved the vibe! The great square, the gorgeous gate, cafes and people watching. Every street leading to the square has plenty of restaurant choices and interesting shops. It's a nice area to walk as well as through the park.
The Porta Nigra, an ancient Roman city gate in Trier dating back to 180 AD, is a well-preserved and significant historical site. Constructed with heavy stone slabs, it serves as the northern entrance to the city and stands as the only surviving gate among four. Originally part of a fortified wall surrounding the Roman city, it now holds UNESCO World Heritage status. In the 11th century, it was converted into a church dedicated to St. Simeon.
A Canadian Tourist Review: A ticket to go inside Porta Nigra is 4 Euros. This is the most iconic attraction in Trier. There is some cool architecture inside but I wouldn't say it is essential to go up to the top. The view is mainly just for the ground directly below. I think you can appreciate it just as much from the outside. It is a very cool piece of Roman architecture and well worth the visit!

Beautiful piece of history. We did this with our three kids ages 5,3,1 years and they loved it even after having gone to the Roman bath ruins. The older two were able to walk the whole thing and I wore the baby. Lots of places for photos, not too crowded on the May weekend we went. There are many dining options right outside the building with lots of vendors and shopping. Highly recommend!

Such a beautiful area with lots of shops and places to eat. A stunning cathedral is just off the main courtyard. Worth the visit and recommend others to see the sights here.

A must if visiting Trier. Visited in mid-April. Allow about 90 minutes to do it justice. Four flights of (spiral) stairs, so if you are unsure on your feet think twice. Information boards have several languages on them, and the multilingual guide (avail via their intranet and your phone) really brings it to life and explains how it originally looked, and how it has survived over the years.
We parked out of town and walked in. I imagine this gets very busy during the summer.
Lots of ticket options available. Also, this is right next to the Tourist Information (very helpful staff).

An ancient city gate built in the Roman empire. It’s quite different from the other historical buildings I’ve been in Germany. Even though it’s unique, to be honest, there isn’t much to see inside. The information is a bit hard to access but the ticket is cheap so it’s definitely worth checking out if you are in Trier.

Impressive building with an interesting history. From decay to a pilgrim place to a double stacked church. This was then ordered to be demolished by Napoleon? And somehow a Roman gate survived. The free audio guide on your phone explains it all very well. The inside is interesting, inexpensive and gives a good view over Trier.

Beautiful! A must visit in Trier in my opinion.
There was a violinist playing under the gate area too, which you could hear through the whole building. That really added to the experience and made it feel even more special.

Stunning remains of the northern city gate built by the Romans almost two millennia ago. Distinctive for its dark grey sandstone. For a small fee tourists access the upper levels but the ground level and surroundings remain free to wander.

This was cool to check out and learn the history of the area. We were able to walk throughout the structure and see the architecture first hand! Worth the drive from Kaiserslautern. The graffiti was obnoxious but some people lack an appreciation for history.

A large city gate from Roman era approximately 2000 years old. A majestic piece of Roman architecture, although a little stands of what remains now. We did not go inside but it was worth admiring the building while standing there. It is a good entry point to the city of Trier, just 10-12 minutes by walk from the train station. From here you can start your tour. Everything is in the walking distance.

This is one of the doors of the city. We decided to stop by in Trier, while returning from our trip in Luxembourg and Strasburgh. We were not disappointed. Not only the Porta is really nice to see, but the city is as well. A lot of people were here on Sunday and a lot friendly and smiley. We also found a public concert nearby.

It was amusing trip to German from Luxembourg. I had been went their only to see Porta Nigra. I had curious to see inside, ticket price 4 euro, as international student O had to pay 3 euro. I thought I may see many historical handy cruft inside, but it was almost empty! Only with structural building. I will not recommend too much to people to visit this place but to have a relaxation take lunch yes you may go to this area.

We took a tourist train tour here and it was a good way to have an overall view of the city, to then explore by foot by ourselves. It was 10 euros per person, 45 minutes-long. The Porta Nigra itself is impressive, and you can’t miss it when in Trier.

Very nice old place. Entry is 4€ and you can buy the ticket at the entrance, also, climb to the top to take some lovely scenic shots of the Trier city centre. Roman Built and still standing after all these years, it's a proof of quality and resiliance of Roman architecture. Very well maintained and full od historical panels that display the rich history of the place. 10/10 visit.

An extraordinary Roman city gate that is regarded to be the most intact city gate from classical times in the world (due to its incorporation into a church during the Middle Ages preventing its gradual demolition as building material was reused, which was followed by demolition of the church during Napoleon times to restore the city gate in its Roman appearance). Admission 4€, the roof level was closed for renovation, 3 other levels were accessible. One of the best Roman structures I have ever seen, especially in northwestern Europe.

A beautiful place, I recommend walking around the city and visiting other historical objects.
The Cologne Cathedral is a huge, imposing building with a beautiful facade. It's also a popular tourist destination with guided tours and views of the Rhine.
Majestic, grand and all those similar adjectives. This is the main attraction in cologne and is worth it. The space around the cathedral is also relaxing. The insides of the cathedral is breathtaking. Also you can climb the tower which is also, literally, breathtaking, since there are 500 odd steps to climb. Visit as early as possible to avoid crowd. It is specially beautiful at night with all the lights, it looks surreal.
Pranesh Dewangan — Google review
The place outside the Cathedral is too crowded and noisy that it is less possible for us to breath. The place is so beautiful and inside of the cathedral is calm and quiet. The art works are extremely brilliant. It would be better to go during the day time especially when it is sunny, so that you can enjoy the colorful glass paintings inside the cathedral.

The Cologne Cathedral is a magnificent architectural masterpiece that I had the pleasure of visiting. This Gothic-style cathedral, located in Cologne, Germany, is truly a sight to behold. With its towering spires reaching towards the heavens and intricate stained glass windows, it is no wonder the cathedral has garnered so much admiration and recognition. The interior of the cathedral is equally awe-inspiring. The high ceilings and ornate carvings that adorn the walls add to the sense of grandeur and historical significance that this beautiful building possesses. I was particularly captivated by the organ, which is a remarkable feat of engineering and craftsmanship. The atmosphere inside the cathedral is one of reverence and tranquility, allowing visitors to appreciate the art and spirituality that encompasses them. Exploring the Cologne Cathedral was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

Very nice cathedral to visit. Free to enter, although the queues can get very long.
Worth a visit - and when a place looks this nice, and is free, it deserves a 5-star rating.
Check the opening times in advance. There is often maintenance taking place which can affect opening times

Cologne Cathedral and the Love Lock Bridge offer a perfect blend of awe-inspiring architecture and romantic charm in the heart of the city. A must-see for visitors looking to soak in Cologne's rich history and vibrant culture.

One of the most mesmerizing pieces of architecture I’v seen in my life. The details, the size, the view, the history and the beauty are all immaculate.
I came to cologne on a business trip and on my last day I decided to explore the city and it was the best decision ever and later I read about the cathedral and its history.
You can go to the other side of the river to take some nice photos as well.
Also note that if you want to get inside the cathedral you’ll have to go between 10:00 and 17:00 on weekdays.
The love bridge is also near by which will give you a nice view of the cathedral and the river.

Located in the heart of cologne, right next to the train station. This cathedral is so magical and the view is breathtaking. Would suggest early hours to avoid the crowd. Also there are some relaxing places outside the cathedral. Beautiful at night with lights on. This is also under one of the UNESCO world heritage sites.

If you're in town, there's no way you should miss it. It's not just about the aesthetics of the church but the whole vibrant atmosphere around it. If you're into a bit of chaos, you'll enjoy various groups engaging in different activities, singing, protesting, and more. But if you get tired of the commotion, the tranquility of the Rhine River is just around the corner, along with great places to eat

Amazing construction, the heart of Koln.
It's the most visited attraction of Germany.
You can visit it for free.
If you want to go up in the tower you need to climb 533 stairs and pay 6 euros (adult).
The view is wonderful.

Amazing Cathedral to see, right in the heart of Cologne. The view is tremendous from all sides on the outside - you'll have no issue spotting the tall spires, and as you close in you'll notice all the magnificent detail in the architecture. You can enter inside (check hours), however, you can't bring in any large bags; and be vigilant of any masses taking place.

A remarkable work of architecture that is difficult to fully absorb without being in front of it. There are many details worth appreciating when standing close; but it’s when you step back that you can feel the immense scale of the work. Incredible - and a lot of fun to look at while visiting the Christmas market, if you are here in the winter.

I highly recommend taking some time to visit "The Dom!" The architecture and craftsmanship that went into that structure are astounding. If you're up for it, climb The Dom and then let your legs rest inside as you take in all the beauty within. Buy the guidebook in the gift shop so you can read more about the artwork and specific features as you're taking it all in. It's a beautiful piece of history to behold.

Amazing and breathtaking, a true feat of human engineering. Free entry into cathedral proper, but small fee if you want to climb the tower (~500 steps) or explore the treasury. Main church has plenty to see and its easy to relax and enjoy the organ every so often. Mass is available quite frequently. Such a beautiful and impressive church! Definitely worth a trip to see!

This was the first cathedral we went to on our visit to Germany. As we came out of the DB station , the cologne cathedral standing in front looked heavenly... It was a sight which has remained with me till date, the beautiful architecture of the Cathedral along the hotel spaces with the rhine river bridge along it looked mesmerizing...
The interior of the church looks beautiful. There is a provision to go till the top through stairs and it gives a birds eye view of Cologne city 🌆
The cafes around are a cherry on top, just take a cup of a drink and enjoy the intricacies of the architectural beauty 😍

The Cologne Chocolate Museum is a museum dedicated to the history of chocolate. The museum has permanent exhibitions on the history of chocolate from different parts of the world, and includes interactive exhibits for visitors to experience the taste and texture of different chocolates.
What an impressive show of industrial skill. I’ve been to chocolate museums before but this was on another level. It had partially operational industrial machinery demonstrating how chocolate is made now and in the past. Then on top of that it has several historical exhibits, a chocolate shop and a cafe. Nearly everything is in English. Quite the experience for a foreigner.

You can buy tickets upon entry, no need for advance tickets unless you want. I thoroughly enjoyed going through the museum and learning the history of chocolate and how it’s made, processed, and used across the world and different cultures.
Coolest part is seeing the chocolate actually made right in front of you through different steps. You even get to click a button that pops out the chocolate that was just cooled/made. Definitely worth the visit here in Cologne!

The place is great! A must visit tourist attraction in Cologne. The place is mostly crowded on the weekend and the getting a ticket there might become a big challenge. The place is located right at the heart of the city so it’s easily accessible but parking is a problem, the place doesn’t have its own parking, need to use nearby parking places and walk to the museum. The place has lot of history and future plans for chocolate industry, also the making of chocolate. A whole floor is dedicated for chocolate making and you can see how chocolate bars are made by looking at the working machines. There is also small chocolate outlet to get chocolates and souvenirs from the museum.

I would not say that this is a must visit on your trip to Cologne. Also with entry ticket at at EUR 14 per adult, the place is a bit expensive. We went to the place as a family with our four year old son. The place gives information on chocolate processing, and one can find live chocolate production happening at the place. You can taste the freshly made chocolate, if you buy tickets to the museum. Overall the place is OK, If you are on a leisurely trip to Cologne, you may visit the place.

Nice place to have an idea about how the 'Lindt' chocolates are made. Very nice place to take children for their level of excitement.

Wheelchair accessible entrance is available. Exciting information about chocolates are available.

The museum is not so big and the whole tour takes about 1-1,5 h. It's good to come in the morning as it isn't crowded. To avoid waiting in the line, I would recommend buying the tickets earlier via the website. In the museum you can see a lot of information about each step of chocolate production. Actually you will get an answer to all kinds of questions about chocolate. Inside there is a small production line which is very interesting. In the end, you may taste a fresh piece of chocolate or try something sweet from the chocolate fountain. This is definitely a place worth visiting however the price of the ticket could be a bit lower.

Reasonably priced and really enjoyable for people of all ages. Explains where the raw ingredients come from, transport, production (the smell is superb), marketing and sustainability to name a few. Free chocolate along the way including the chocolate fountain, and be sure not to miss the cafe afterwards, the staff everywhere were nice but my server in the cafe in particular was great. Gift shop not silly money either for the quality you’re buying. A must visit!!!

Really sweet experience!
They give some free Lindt chocolate when you enter, good for some sugar rush as you explore the museum.
You can try some free chocolates at various chocolate stations. You get to see the process of making chocolate and you’ll also see some robotic machinery they use now.
If you come in after 5pm, they have a ticket sale, since they close at 6pm. The chocolates in the store are also priced well.

Really interesting factory museum. I thought they did a nice job including a wide array of interests/considerations to include some relating to fair trade and global warming concerns in the chocolate industry. Lots to look at, you could spend half a day here for sure. Loved the shop, plenty to buy there. One of the coolest things was that you have the opportunity to have a custom chocolate bar made right in front of you!

Fun for the entire family. I think particularly those with children would do themselves a disservice by not going to this place. But even those who would perhaps have a grey hair more than they would like are still going to find something fun and educational in the visit. The tour is well laid out and you get great views of the city . Its a well spent time in Cologne.

I love chocolate, especially lindt! Complimentary chocolate on arrival was happily received, then an interesting history of cocoa until the best part, the chocolate fountain and factory section. Samples of the liquid chocolate are handed out, I could've stayed in that section the whole time! I wasn't too bothered about the rest of the museum other than the complimentary chocolates upon leaving. The shop had an amazing selection too. Busy on weekends

A beautiful and charming museum. Gives you a nice background about the chocolate making, manufacturing and distribution process. You also get free chocolates! You can also get a chocolate from freshly prepared chocolate. If you want you can also make your own customized chocolate bar. It takes almost 2-3 hrs to roam around the museum. Do not forget to get chocolates from the shop below😄.

We visited the Lindt chocolate Museum recently. We were thrilled to attend the fine tasting session. The narrator gave us an complete overview of the chocolate processing and we had an opportunity to taste some of the products during the process like from the coco beans, coco butter to final stage of finished chocolate.
Highly recommend to get an online booking specially during weekend. We saw really huge line on Saturday luckily we had our session booked. Good for kids.

Buy tickets in advance online. Go early, when the museum opens to avoid the crowds. I enjoyed that they showed the entire journey of a chocolate bar. Even showing things like shipping and market share of different brands. Even though I was there on a Sunday there were lots of staff in the chocolate factory showing off their craft which was great to see. The museum also had a history part, detailing things such as chocolate during the wars. So in summary, the museum really has a bit of everything and of course the opportunity to taste the chocolate. I would recommend a visit if in Cologne. Also, if you are there during December the Christmas market in front of the museum was one of the less crowded markets.
Jen Jomp — Google review
It is a well designed museum with a lot happening there.
As many others recommended, buy your ticket well in advance and if you're interested in a tour (I highly recommend one) buy it way way in advance.
I booked the short course (30 min) that gave an overview of different stages of production with tasting (Yes! we tried a bean!). It was worth the extra 2.5 EUR for sure and was not too long.
There's a green house with chocolate and banana trees that have fruits!
I recommend going there if you're in Köln. Definitely one of the best things to do there.

Visiting this museum was one of the best decisions I made when I was in Cologne, Germany.
During the tour there are different exhibitions that explain everything from the origin of chocolate, to the way it is processed and obtained, as well as its commercial distribution.
The tour is very entertaining, and the best thing is that they give free chocolate samples. Although the price could be considered somewhat high, I think it is totally worth it.

Super cool. You get to see where chocolate started and all of the processes to make it. There are samples from the chocolate made right in front of you, and you even have an opportunity to have your own chocolate bar made with different toppings. The chocolate tastes better than what is sold in the stores. So delicious and so fun! Use the QR code to purchase tickets. Waiting in line takes a lot longer.

This holiday apartment in the charming town of Little Venice is perfect for visitors looking for a bit of relaxation and beauty. The area is well-known for its historic houses, fairy tale vibe, and meandering Lauch River. The apartment has been decorated in an elegant style with all the necessary amenities to make your stay comfortable. The town itself is also very charming and offers plenty of activities to enjoy, such as exploring its colorful half-timbered houses or taking a boat ride on the river.
家族4人で利用しました。川沿いの眺めが良く、夜は静かでロマンチックな場所でした。建物自体は凄く古いのですが、中は綺麗にリフォームされてキッチン周りの電化製品や器具、食器は全て揃っていて、とても清潔でした!
車はホテル前に路駐して荷物を運んだ後に近くのパーキングに移動しました。
すぐそばにマルシェやレストランもあり立地は最高だと思います。
オーナーのマダムは英語を話して下さり、私達は夜の8時半頃と遅い到着だったのですが、電話でのやりとり後にホテル前で待っててくださり、鍵を受け取る事が出来ました。

I used it with my family of 4. Nice view along the river, quiet and romantic place at night. The building itself is very old, but the inside has been beautifully renovated, and the electrical appliances, utensils, and tableware around the kitchen were all there, and it was very clean!
I parked my car in front of the hotel and moved to a nearby parking after carrying my luggage.
I think the location is great as there are markets and restaurants nearby.
The owner, Madam, spoke English, and although we arrived late at around 8:30 pm, she waited for us in front of the hotel after a phone call, and we were able to receive the keys. rice field.

A "Real Eyeopener"!
This compact "old town" area of Southeast Colmar is a place "not to be missed" by visitors! It gets its name due to the "historic houses" built on both sides of the small, meandering, Lauch River.... and the "fairy tale vibe". The area is wonderful to walk around-- and has cobbled streets, colourful "half-timbered" houses, and a "covered market". It can also be seen by boat. It has been awarded by TripAdvisor the esteemed "Certificate of Excellence". It is indeed well worth a visit. It is no wonder that it has been rated as one of the "top of places" to visit/things to do, while in Colmar. It will definitely add to one's memories of the visit.
I hope that this Review has been helpful.

Lovely time walking around Home Little Venice there's so much more than the picturesque bridge's to see with a few lovely restaurants along the canal, and little boat trip back and forth . It's only a short walk from here to the indoor market .

The park has something for everyone regardless of age with games catering to kids of all ages. Visitors can explore different countries through the shops and restaurants available within the park.
A very beautiful family park, if I wanted to explore it thoroughly, a day wouldn't be enough.
It is ENORMOUS.
Entertainment, games, shops and restaurants from different countries.
I went with my wife and had tons of fun.
You can go with the children as there are games for kids of all ages.

the best park I ever visited, numerous times, took my family recently after a long time and was not disappointed. Highly recommend. If you are not familiar with the park, best plan 2 days. Unforgettable for young and old. The management works tirelessly to add new exciting things and maintain the established rides.
The gardens and plants are exquisite and in pristine conditions. It's a joy to wander through the different gardens
Congratulations.
I visited first time when the park opened in the mid seventies, it's come a long way.

One of the best place to visit while travelling to Germany. This place is full of adventure and beautiful view. You can enjoy here with your partner as well as with your family or kids. It has both options either you can chill with your kids or if you want a quiet place then you can also get that. My overall experience here was amazing and I enjoyed everyday during my stay. There is bus shuttle service inside Europa park by which you can travel from one place to another free of cost inside Europa park. And specially the staff over here is very friendly and polite. 😍😍😍

Europapark is without a doubt the BEST amusement park in Europe! The attractions, the atmosphere, the decorations. A lot of roller coasters, it sounds amazing! You can check the park from the monorail too and eat in different kids of restaurants
You can spend the night in one of the themed hotels. Here you can enjoy an extensive breakfast buffet in the morning. You can also eat in one of the other hotels

This has to be the best theme park I have ever visited. Amazing selection of rides for all ages. From gentle themed rides to super coasters. Definitely fun for all the family and I would even go as far as saying better than Disney land Paris. Well definitely visit again.

Wow Where Do I Start. This park is amazing, it’s one of the best if not the best in the World.
Arrived at 08:30 and some attractions were already open 😲, then walked on rides majority of the day and didn’t wait more than 25 minutes. Did 30 rides and left at closing time. Experienced 1 minor breakdown the whole day which saw can can coaster close for a max of about 10 minutes. They kept silver star & can can coaster open a little longer after park close so people didn’t leave without riding one last ride due to the breakdown.
Operations were world class too, staff were friendly and extremely efficient. Food was good except the Food Loop which was quite expensive. Paid €15 for a burger on it’s own but it was tasty so I’ll give them that 🤣
As a whole the park is extremely clean, well looked after and so well ran. Over 2 days did 55 rides and experienced shows and had time to eat and shop. Will definitely be back next year 👍
Parking was also efficient. Was in and out in no time. Entering the park was just straight in. Long Opening Hours too so no need to rush and plenty of transportation attractions such as a train and 2 monorails.
I recommend this park as it is PERFECT FOR EVERYONE!

Give yourself at least 2 days. The park is huge and there is so much to do and see. Since it was a slower season, many food places were closed or running on shorter hours, and I would have liked more regional food for the areas. All around amazing experience, and the queues were shorter than we expected given the size of the park.

What an awesome experience coming here in winter ❄️ I could have never imagined how beautiful the park is during that season and highly recommend coming here! ❤️🙌😍
The decoration is stunning and especially during the dark daytime is can become breathtaking- too much to take in, in just one day

What an absolute wonderful park to visit. My first time there and it was great. We went with our 3 year old who could ride nearly most of the children attractions and had a great great time.
Voltron is one hell of an amazing Rollercoaster ride and definitely a must ride for everyone that loves coasters!
Will definitely be visiting again in the near future!

Very impressive amusement park. Read the description to discover the themes, it explains a lot.
Main thing I have noticed is that every one can enjoy the park because of the diversity of amusements.
Clean, large choice of food, quality and thrilling attractions, this place is a must.
My favorite amusement is « Arthur » : beautiful fairy bubble with a detailed decoration: the roller which starts inside the bubble, above people doing other attractions, is completely gobsmacking…

A great theme park, the attractions are more family oriented. For adrenaline, I would recommend Energylandia in Poland. However, the park had beautiful Halloween decorations. The park has perfect shows.
Denisa Šindelářová — Google review
What an amazing place and an amazing experience.
Everything is meticulously maintained, there is a huge diversity of different rides, the whole park is themed and decorated for Halloween, and the atmosphere is so pleasant.
I loved how they divided the park into different countries. Everything is so easy to find.
Prices of the food and beverages are decent in most places.
I especially loved how they added Single Rider lines in many of the rides. Also, they do it very efficiently, so you don't have to wait for too long even if you're in a group and prefer to save some time and split on the ride.
This is my second visit. I visited 7 years ago. A lot has changed for the better, even though the park was great even back then. They definitely know how to keep improving.
The only thing I would suggest them to fix is the app's possibility to return to the list of rides after selecting a specific ride and pressing "return". Currently, it takes you back to the general map, and then you have to again select and filter the rides you want to see.

There’s never a bad time to go to Europa-Park!!! Last time we went during the spring, but now we went during Christmas time!
The park is decorated beautifully and it’s just so magical ✨
Very affordable place for a day of fun! The park hours are listed closing at an early hour, but they were open a lot past the listed closing time.
Dogs are allowed and that is awesome!

It‘s amazing how this park has developed and grown over the years. It takes a least two days to see the whole park and enjoy most of the rides, shows, etc. You can see the effort everywhere that the park looks nice & clean all day. Needless to say there are attractions for the whole family, from thrilling roller coasters, Virtual rides to calm story rides, shows, etc. Food & Drinks are expensive, comparable to other parks, but it’s very fair that it’s allowed to bring as much as you want by yourself. Entrance fees are fair and you‘ll get a lot entertainment for your money.

We first visited Europa Park back in 1990 before we had our children. We have visited it regularly since with our children.
We have seen the park grow and really enjoy our visits. We have stayed on the campsite in one of their tepees as well as in nearby hotels and campsites.
Access to the park is easy as it is well signposted. Once inside, there is plenty to see and do with lots for adults and children of all ages, and their are rides for all ages.
There are shows to see, including medieval knights.
The food isn't cheap but there are plenty of quiet areas to enjoy your own food or picnic.
The car park is well laid out, and again is well signposted and marked.
The best part about Europa Park is the atmosphere, especially on a bright summer's day. Queue times vary of course depending on what time of year and what day of the week you go, but they're not too bad. The bigger and more popular the ride the longer the queue, and there are plenty of rides and the wait is worth it.

Super parc d’attraction, les décors sont magnifiques et les attractions super. 2 jours pour faire le parc est l’idéal si on veut pouvoir bien profiter. Les spectacles sont très bien aussi. Au niveau du temps d’attente c’est raisonnable (30min max pour nous en semaine). L’application est bien faite pour se repérer et on peut prendre quelques coupes file. Nous y retournerons pour découvrir la nouvelle attraction qui a l’air sensationnelle !

Great amusement park, the scenery is magnificent and the attractions are great. 2 days to explore the park is ideal if you want to be able to enjoy it. The shows are very good too. In terms of waiting time it is reasonable (30min max for us during the week). The application is well designed to help you find your way around and you can skip the line a few times. We will go back to discover the new attraction which looks sensational!

Vraiment un très beau parc. Les attractions sont top. Le seul bémols la sécurité. Aucun contrôle de sac 🤷🏼♀️
On a pu profiter de tout, les prix sont correct pour un parc d'attraction. Par contre le personnel a revoir. On avait rarement voir pas du tout de sourire et même pas de bonjour. Limite si il pouvais ne pas nous parler c'est au mieux, dommage.

Really a very beautiful park. The attractions are great. The only downside is security. No bag checks 🤷🏼♀️
We were able to enjoy everything, the prices are correct for an amusement park. On the other hand, the staff needs to be reviewed. We rarely saw any smiles or even hellos. Even if he couldn't talk to us, that's a shame at best.

Wonderful place.
I'd love to see some more variety in the food stalls besides the all time classics: currywurst, churros, waffles, burgers etc.
But other than that everything was beautiful. Many rides for small children to older ones. They also have places for the parents to sit while their kids play, in the area where the playgrounds are.
There are also little houses or spots where you can just sit in peace for lunch and enjoy the view.
You need at least 4 days to manage to see everything if you go with kids.
The europa park app is a must if you want to check the waiting lines for the rides, the park map etc.
Don't miss the all you can eat ribs in the silver lake saloon and the all you can eat buffet in Antica Roma! Both need reseevations!

Parc magnifique, on a attendu en moyenne 5 minutes pour chaque attraction et pourtant le parc était complet !

What a fantastic place to visit! Disneyland in Paris doesn’t get a look in with this place. If you want thrills and theming that really makes a difference. The park was super clean, staff extremely friendly and the efficiency of the queues was excellent. If a ride was getting a bit too busy they would add extra cars on to ease that. The virtual queue system was excellent and the shows were fantastic! Stopped at the Kronosar hotel and again what a fantastic place, rooms were spacious and everything was kept so clean and tidy. I’ll definitely return, only spent 2 nights but could have spent longer as there is so much to see and do.

A place for theme park goers, a lovely date, want to experience different countries in a short space n time , take kids out.
New rides, five nights at freddys-esque rides with puppets, toddler rides. Water rides...
Highly recommended in warm to slightly hotter weather.
The versatility of this place is great.
Download the app. No ifs, no buts.
Solo riders lane was a nice experience
Only "downside" is how to get there, but its logical for it to be away from city and in a spacious plot.
Make sure you factor in travel time especially if driving. Coaches and buses depending may be better.or nice stroll

What an amazing park. The theming is beyond incredible even to the bathrooms. Great roller coasters. The new Voltron is top notch. Food wise amazing options and very tasty. My only “negative” is that operating hours seem to be set the day of operations since the website states at least till 1800. After a while in the park hours did get extended till 2000. So if you visit and it’s busy check around

très beau parc d'attractions.
personnelles souriants et avenants, files d'attentes pas trop longues, max. 40 min. avec parfois 15/20 min pour les attractions phares, pour ce weekend de Pâques.
malgré l'affluence, le parc est tellement grand qu'il n'y avait pas une sensation de foule.
spectacles époustouflants surtout celui de magie et le gloge théâtre !!
un très bon séjour de 2 jours, avec en prime le soleil dimanche !!
nous y reviendrons avec un énorme plaisir.

Petite France, a bustling tourist center in the city, is renowned for its well-preserved half-timbered homes like the Tanners' House that was constructed in 1572. The area's cobblestone streets and canals add to its charm. Barrage Vauban, a covered bridge and dam from the 17th century, has a terrace which offers breathtaking views of the surroundings.
The Cathedral of Strasbourg is a beautiful, gothic edifice built in 1187 to 1439 with a 16th-century astronomical clock and rose window. It is considered the world's tallest building from 1647 to 1874 and still the sixth tallest church today. The walls of the cathedral keep a 1000-year history of luck and disappointment, victorious victories and unforgivable defeats.
What a wonderful cathedral!! The clock inside is really neat. I loved the nativity scenes and I'm so glad they were still up when we went in January. We climbed up the tower, which was a highlight of our entire vacation!

This is a must see location if you are within 100 miles. Strasbourg the old city is just incredible for old buildings and interesting sites. The Cathedral is very impressive from the outside and the inside is just Great. The altar and the backdrop are very well done. The stained glass is amazing as well. I walked to the top of the Cathedral and highly recommend doing this if you can. Great views and interesting views of the Cathedral as you climb.

Exceptional views, beautiful architecture, in my eyes it is a must to visit during your stay in Strasbourg. Ticket is absolutely worth it, considering the effort to climb the way up.

Came over from offenburg Germany. It was a short drive. It was on a French holiday so I think it was extra busy. The cathedral was very pretty. You could walk around on your own. There was no English translations quite. If you get an app on your phone you can just shine it on the signs and it'll read it in English for you. It was a recording picking on every now and then to ask us to shush. Although I don't think we were being loud, the crowd was in the church at that time.

The cathedral is breathtaking from every angle, with stained glass, spires, and intricate designs living every inch of the building. You won’t find yourself bored when visiting here.

If you are feeling in the mood, you can buy and light a candle in the cathedral. There is also two gift shops!

A wonderful cathedral, truly a work of art in every way. Entrance is free into the church, but a ticket of 8.5 euro to take the stairs up - which you must do, the views are spectacular {approx 300 steps up and 300 down, on a spiral staircase}. The clock at the back is a marvel to behold, from the 16th century. The church area is peaceful, take some time to sit and reflect no matter your religion.

The Cathédrale Notre Dame of Strasbourg is a magnificent cathedral in Strasbourg. It's tall and carries rich architectural heritage of historic France. The outside is full of intricate sculptures and details. Inside, colorful stained glass windows light up the place when the sun is out.

Today is a sunny day and it’s a nice opportunity to take photos of The Cathedral Notre Dame de Strasbourg. No fee to enter the Cathedral, only security check on bags.
It’s a Saturday and there were many people around the square. Part of the Cathedral is under renovation, yet we still managed to see the major parts of the building.
A historical building with impressive architecture.
A local friend gave us some tips. The best time To go up to the top of the cathedral is around lunch time. Sensible and perfect idea 👍🏻

Wasn’t a huge fan of Strasbourg overall, but the cathedral is absolutely worthy of the trip; it is imposingly beautiful inside and out. You can see the cathedral from just about anywhere in the city and it’s still difficult to fathom the size of it once you’re upon it. It was stunning.

Beautiful Historic Monument. Probably one of the most beautiful religious cathedral from France.
Specific times to get in
The astronomical clock is impressive and has so many resources and surprises.
The man speaking once in a while on the microphone to ask people to turn the volume down is the one making most of the noise.
Go visit this landmark.

The most conspicuous building in Strasbourg. It’s full of beauty and historical charm. There are lots things to see - external decorations, climbing to the top to have a great view of the city, internal decorations and carpets. Finally there is the Astronomical clock inside. The history of the cathedral reflects the history of the city which is breathtaking. In front of the church you can find lots of Noel markets in the holiday season in winter.
Heidelberg Palace is a ruined red sandstone castle that sits on a hillside in the heart of Heidelberg, Germany. It is one of the most beautiful ruins in the world and is popular with tourists for its incredible views across the Neckar River. The only way to see the interior of Heidelberg Palace is by tour - after 6pm it is open to the public for free.
Beautiful, highly recommend for a lazy stroll. The views of the palace and the city from the terrace is breathtaking. We went on a rainy day and still managed to have a great time. There’s a short hike, moderately steep but absolutely doable. Wear comfy shoes. I saw some cars up there too, so I guess it’s possible.

Really cool castle! The views of the city are incredible. The walk up is pretty steep so be prepared if you are going that way. Don’t miss the pharmacy museum and the giant wine barrel. The inner part of the castle costs 9 euros but it’s worth it. Also check out the garden in the back for even more great views.
deependablereviews — Google review
If you like explore castles, this will be educational and fun.
Starting with a hike up the castle is highly recommended! It made me appreciate so much modern amenities - there is a cable car you can purchase to go up and down as well (€9 will get a person up and down the hill for the castle). The grounds outside the castle is fun to walk around simply for the view it offers of the town. Once up at the castle level, get ticket to the courtyard. It can be included in the cable car. It will take maybe an hour or hour and half but seeing the massive wine barrel - it will be the biggest ever! and learning about the start of medicine/ pharmacy in Germany will be a fun experience in the museum inside. Wander around to the front of the castle the view is great not just the old town below but also the castle structure itself.
Happy travels

Some really great views of the city and the area below. A lot of good walking. There's plenty to see. However, I was disappointed that I was displaced from the ticket shop for not having the right mask on. Apparently the n95 mask that I had on did not suffice. I'm sure this will change in time.

Definitely worth taking family when they visit. Bonus, it's open on Sundays.

Both the castle and the gardens are worth a visit. You can access the gardens for free but will have to pay to enter the courtyard.

You'll need to pay an extra 6€ if you want to actually enter the castle which is only available through guided tours.

Great place to check out, it was wet and windy but we still enjoyed the site and your. Highly recommended the guided tour, they take you through the castle you can’t go through with a normal ticket. The garden was really cool with great city views and we could see the hustle bustle of Christmas markets from there too. The tour showed us some cool stuff in the castle and told us pretty detailed history about it. The tour group wasn’t huge either so could see/hear pretty much everything. Only 8-10 min walk up a hill or stairs to it also on old cobble stone walkways. Hope to see again some day.

One of the best “ruins castles” in Germany. We really enjoyed the tour through the castle. The views of Heidelberg from the castle are fantastic as well. It is a bit of a hike to get up to the castle. I would recommend taking the tram if you have issues with climbing stairs and hills or have strollers or older folks with you. The climb is pretty significant. I have now been to this castle several times and I’d go back again and again. Such a great place with such an interesting history.

It’s an amazing castle, I will tell any one about my visit there, the view from castle above the city is beautiful. If you would visit it, try to go before 5:30 pm, because the bus from down to castle through the mountain will close and last trip to enter it will on 5:30. It costs 14€ or 9€ for adults to buy a ticket. Garden around the castle is also nice. Enjoy 😊 (The stairs are long if you want to walk up, you can go up walking but maybe will be difficult for some people)

Amazing place, I could expend days just wandering inside and outside the castle, is simply amazing. The views that has to offer are also out of this world! I bought the ticket for €14 that allowed me the funicular and museums and then at the castle bought the audio guide which is totally worth it tbh. They had it in different languages. There’s also a Michelin 2020 restaurant inside the castle.

Very nice old palace, you should definitely walk around and visit the garden. All the surrounding are accessible for free. But the entrance to the courtyard costs 9 euros. It’s unreasonably expensive, on my opinion. The size of the yard and what you can see inside is not worth the money. The yard is really small and partially closed for restoration, some cars are parked in places, there are too many people... In addition, to get inside the castle you need to pay even more and book a tour. So I was very disappointed.
But again, the castle itself is spectacular and worth to visit, just consider thoroughly whether you need to go in.
As an advantage, free toilet next to the cash register😉

This castle is located atop a hill with beautiful views of Heidelberg. There are several displays inside showing what early pharmaceutical equipment was like. You can walk to the top of the biggest wine barrel you will ever see. There is a large open area where you can sit in the shade and enjoy the views. Food is available at a couple of different places on the castle grounds. The castle is accessible by foot (a little bit of a climb) or by train (tickets are available for purchase). You could easily spend a couple hours here.

A beautiful, amazing site that has tremendous views! Over looking the entire old town, this castle is a must stop if In Heidelberg! I highly recommend going there during sunset because it’s magical to watch the city and castle grounds light up at night!

I find this castle ruins romantic, specially when going there before sunset. Start by exploring the old bridge which offers lovely views to the city and the castle. Then walk around the old part of Heidelberg city. There are many restaurants offering different cuisines and amazing architecture. Then walk or drive to near the castle and spend the late afternoon there. There are benches to sit on.

Definitely worth the trip. I took the funicular railway from station Kornmarkt, they offer different tickets, 1 to the castle, single or return, another 1 to the top. I bought the whole trip to the top, cost 14 euro. Price include entry to Heidelberg Palace. U can go all the way to the top then to the palace or stop at palace then continue to the top. I went to the top first, it was very foggy due to rain, fully covered with fog, mist. I just walk around a bit to enjoy the nature n cold.
Then I went to the castle, was raining... but it has a much better view at the castle. It is so beautiful, although ruined but still majestic. There are 2 museums, pharmacy and the brewery..is free, just go in to get some shelter...but the wine barrel is so huge and the wood used to construct the barrel is so solid. I would highly recommend a trip to Heidelberg Palace/ castle

The majestic castle ruins in Heidelberg look down on the city is one of the most impressive sites to see. It is an absolute recommendation for a day trip, with great views on the city and beautiful architecture that you can enjoy even though most of it is ruins. There is a unique pharmacy history-museum, a nice cafe in the cellar, and there was a huge Playmobil exhibition last time.we visitied.

Heidelberg Castle is a true gem nestled in the heart of this historic city, and my recent visit left me utterly spellbound! The absolutely breathtaking view of Heidelberg city.
The architecture, the history, and the sheer grandeur of Heidelberg Castle make it a must-visit destination.
But the real magic happened when I reached one of the viewpoints overlooking the city. The panoramic view of Heidelberg spread out beneath me was nothing short of spectacular. I definitely recommend also taking a tour of the topmost part of the castle.

A truly amazing infrastructure with a breathtaking view of the city of Heidelberg. It was well worth it coming here. I took the stairs going up which I wouldn’t advise if you’re not doing much cardio like me. Better to use the other path or the cable car.

Visually appealing historical monument that tells the story of opulence and power. Every ornament has creative details of history and artisans with skills beyond ordinary. The texture, color and breadth of the different parts of the castle are worth seeing in a lifetime.

A must see.
We visited on a Sunday in late Feb 24. Weather was cold but dry. Wear comfortable shoes/trainers.
This is a great place to go and visit. Park in the underground carpark in the centre of town. Allow at least 3 hours for a visit. Entrnace was €9 per adult (includes a return ride in the funicular and entrance to the castle). We also booked an English speaking tour (lasted about 90 minutes and you get to see places the public are not allowed in (€6 per person - you can purchase it when at the castle, but check times first. Highly recommended).
Most information boards in English and German. A couple of souvenir shops.
The Romer, a medieval building with a stepped gable facade, is now the town hall with a balcony and many portraits. The building has served as Frankfurt's main city hall for 600 years.
The beautiful and picturesque old town is a must visit when in Frankfurt! Amazing half-timbered buildings that were once completely destroyed by Allied powers’ bombings during WWII, now rebuilt to their full glory! Drink your coffee or beer in one of the numerous cafes and beer houses on the square, admire the architecture, take photos and travel back in time with your imagination! 100% recommended!

Its nice - the only thing to see in frankfurt really, although none of it’s original of course - the entire city burnt down during the war. I guess that’s why there’s about 5 tourists in the entire city. Anyways, if you are visiting there’s like 1 tourist shop and a few cafes to outside in. The little church is super plain inside and not really worth going in

Römerberg is the historic heart of Frankfurt, Germany. This charming square is surrounded by picturesque half-timbered houses, giving it a medieval ambiance. The iconic Römer building, Frankfurt's city hall for over 600 years, dominates the square with its distinctive stepped gables. Römerberg is not only a historic and architectural gem but also a vibrant hub with open-air markets, cultural events, and traditional festivals. It serves as a popular gathering place for both locals and visitors, offering a glimpse into Frankfurt's rich history and providing a delightful backdrop for leisurely strolls and exploration.

Frankfurter Römer, the historic city hall of Frankfurt, is a cultural and architectural gem that serves as the symbolic heart of the city. This iconic building, with its distinctive stepped facade and three gables, stands proudly in the historic Altstadt (Old Town) and has been a witness to centuries of Frankfurt's history.
The Römer's significance is not only architectural but also cultural, as it has been the site of various important events and ceremonies throughout the years. The Kaisersaal (Emperor's Hall) inside is a lavish space adorned with medieval and Renaissance artifacts, providing a glimpse into the city's past.
Surrounded by quaint half-timbered houses and charming squares, the Frankfurter Römer is a focal point for both locals and visitors. The square in front of the Römer hosts public events, markets, and festivals, creating a lively atmosphere. The building's photogenic allure is enhanced by its role as the backdrop for numerous celebrations, including the city's annual Christmas market.
A visit to the Frankfurter Römer is a journey through time, where the historic and contemporary elements of Frankfurt seamlessly converge. Its enduring charm makes it a must-see destination for those exploring the rich tapestry of Frankfurt's cultural heritage.

Stunning historical structures, main square of Frankfurt and city hall. It was too crowded when I visited there but you can take a tourist picture in front of the buildings, buy magnets etc.from souvenir shops and also grab a beer and walk the streets or lots of authentic cafes to stop by. There are also another charming old buildings like old opera and frankfurt cathedral nearby. It was such a great spot!

Perhaps it’s the most iconic spot of the city.
A nice square between the Old Opera House and the Main river ferries. I go often bec of the eateries there.
The many cafes are decent and one of them is my local friends’ favorite - they held their last three big one there - today we celebrated at their home with a dozen of close friends.
… gone off the topic again
Many couples got married at the old city hall.

The Mercedes-Benz Museum is a world-renowned museum dedicated to the history of Mercedes-Benz and the car industry. Inside, visitors can see some of the brand's most iconic vehicles from the past century, as well as models from more recent times. The museum is located in a sleek metallic building with a double helix design that allows for two parallel audio-guided tours.
What a great museum! We really enjoyed all the interactive parts of the museum and getting a walk through history viewed through the lens of the inventions and innovations with motorized vehicles. It was really fascinating and we spent more time than we planned. Plus the museum design was really neat! So glad we went!!

Absolutely stunning museum designed to hugely enhance the amazing displays of historic and current Mercedes-Benz cars. We spent over two hours there and, had it not been closing time, would have stayed a lot longer.
We thought the price of €12 per adult was excellent value for money and, as well as truly appreciating the sublime architecture, we were massively impressed by the world history displayed in the panels down each of the curving walkways on each floor.
And to the cars! An awesome display of high quality vehicles of all types with individual plaques to explain their significance. No-one could fail to be impressed by the range, quality and descriptions for each vehicle on display. From the first historic cars to the most current Formula 1 cars, the range is quite unbelievable.
The toilet, accessibility and food facilities are all top class, as is the range of items to purchase in the shop. In all, a highly recommended experience which is too good to miss if you're in Stuttgart. Thank you!

One of the best automobile museums that I have been to (as an automotive enthusiast)! The museum was filled with not only detailed history about the car as a mode of transportation, but also world history so that one could understand the context of which the inventions or innovations were made in. Such a diverse collection of cars, iconic and legendary. 4 stars because I would have loved to see the latest cars from Mercedes-Benz. The newest ones in the museum were only concept cars from the past decade. Bit disappointed in this respect but all in all, worth the visit!

The MERCEDES-BENZ MUSEUM was amazing! When you first arrive, you take the elevator to the top floor and walk down the spiralling path. It starts with the earliest vehicles and the vehicles get progressively newer the further down you go. The museum was well laid out with plenty of lighting. The parking garage on the backside of the museum made the visit painless and easy.

Impressive museum! Sadly I got an audio guide with a low battery and it died in the middle of my visit. You get to keep the strap of the audio guide as a souvenir by the way.
It takes around 2-3h to see everything depending on your speed. It starts with a chronological order since 1900. There is a lot of information for car enthusiasts and also for people who just want to learn more about the history of car making and the different inventions/technologies throughout the history.
The design of the building itself is amazing. There are lockers and coat storage places. Toilets, which were remarkably clean, are available not only during the start/end of the museum but there is one in each level as far as I remember.
At the end of the tour, some fun interactive activities are available which can also be suitable for kids, I think it was called science center or something similar. The gift shop had a very limited selection and was quite overpriced.

Worth a visit! Or another one.

The MERCEDES-BENZ MUSEUM is amazing place with plenty of vehicles. When you first arrive, you take the elevator to the top floor and walk down the spiraling path. A well-presented and arranged museum that not only encompasses the history of Mercedes Benz but also the history of the automotive world of cars.
There are many of beautiful cars, trucks,F1 cars, buses. Everything is explained really well and plenty of information about every vehicle. Few euros for a ticket is really worth. The tickets were well priced and included a free audio guide.
Good restaurant to dine in after your walkabouts. ne can easily spend 4-5 hours and if you are a car enthusiast even more.The museum was well laid out with plenty of lighting. The parking garage on the backside of the museum made the visit painless and easy.

Even for non car lovers, this place is still good to visit. What more for car enthusiasts.
Having gone to 2 famous car museums in Stuttgart, here’s my take for Mercedes Benz, the exhibits are informative and I like how the museum flows with time and also with other world events. You will see why the entire Mercedes Benz or (Daimler) group is so important to the history of Germany
The gift shops are well equipped with pretty nice souvenirs to get from.
There are cafes and a restaurant.
There are also locker rooms and coat rooms if you are bringing bigger bags you can store them and go for your tour.
Went alone and spent about 2.5 hours or so in there. Staff are helpful and friendly.
This museum is more family oriented and there are 7 levels of exhibits.
I enjoyed myself especially knowing the history of Germany and the company. Ever wondered the names of Daimler, Benz, Mercedes and how are they related and why is it being used interchangeably? What does the logo stands for? You will get your answer here.

The Museum is very nice. Starting at the top floor you work your way from the invention of the first engine, to the first motorized carridge to the first car and get a good historical view of transportation as we know it today. We enjoyed the exhibits that were much more than just looking at cars. The museum shows connections between world events and the car industry avoiding controversial issues.

Overall it's a must visit place for any automotive enthusiast!

My time at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart left me with mixed feelings. 🏎️💔 While there were positives, some aspects fell short of my expectations.
The museum layout and historical insights into Mercedes-Benz vehicles were well done, and the reasonable entrance fee was a plus. However, the lack of significant changes over the past 5 and a half years was a bit disappointing. 🕰️🤔 I hoped for fresh additions to keep the experience captivating for returning visitors.
A downside was the presence of unrelated political propaganda along the walking route between floors. 🚫🗳️ This seemed out of place and distracted from the museum's automotive focus.
The souvenir shop at the end didn't live up to expectations due to high prices. 💰😕 It dampened the overall value after paying the entrance fee.
I recommend avoiding the museum during summer holidays due to large crowds. 🌞🚶♂️ This can detract from the enjoyment of the visit.
In conclusion, the Mercedes-Benz Museum has highlights, especially for car enthusiasts, but updates, pricing, and overall visitor experience could be enhanced. 🏁🚗

A great place to visit when in Stuttgart. I have been there twice now and I am mesmerized each time. Their organized manner, way of storytelling is just amazing. We started at the very beginning of human civilization of using horses as a mode of transportation. From there, the discovery and use of motor vehicles, steam engines and fuel engines was just marvelous.
A huge collection of collectibles and historical facts made the entire experience worthwhile. This was really a great experience for us.
They also had a nice cafeteria and souvenir store along with a simulation centre.
Tickets are subsidized for students, kids and senior citizens.

We cycled from central Stuttgart no problem. But trains also available.

I very much enjoyed my tour of the Mercedes-Benz museum. You take an elevator ride up to the top floor and begin with looking at some of the oldest cars and engines and walk your way down to today’s modern automobiles.
As you journey through over 100 years of car history, you get to enjoy looking at all the cool cars, trucks, and other various automobiles Mercedes-Benz have manufactured.
I recommend getting lunch in the cafe/trying out their restaurant in the basement as well and making a day trip. It took me about 3 hours to get through everything and eat both breakfast and lunch here and I came by myself, so I’d say prepare at least 5 hours if you’re visiting with a group/your family.
Located in the heart of the vineyards in Wurzburg, Germany, is a grand 18th-century palace known as Würzburg Residence. This lavish castle offers guided tours showcasing its exquisite frescos and paintings. It also boasts formal gardens that add to its charm and beauty. The Residenz palace is a significant architectural landmark, representing various European styles brought together under one roof.
I've visited the Residenz many times over the years and it's always an amazing experience. I love walking in the gardens, climbing the terraces and enjoying the view of the palace. This time I went inside again after several years and it was a very pleasant surprise to see how the presentation has changed. The large prints of black and white photos showing the destruction after 16 March 1945 add an impressive layer to the historic rooms.

One of my favorite castle in Germany. It’s a really beautiful place and there’s so much to see. The rooms are very beautiful and some impressive. However, the staff was quite unfriendly and even a bit rude. They also do not allowed photos inside but I saw a lot of people doing it and the staff ignored them so I did the same. I also want to mention that they have beautiful blossom in their garden during spring. It was magical!

one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. You will never regret paying only 9 euros for it. It is one of the must-see places if you are in Würzburg. It took me 3 hours just to soak up the interior. Very amazing sculpture, building, color meaning, everything is amazing. And the park next to it was also clean and comfortable, of course you can enter it for free. And don't forget one thing. You have to leave your bag and put 1€ in the locker to keep it and get it back when you're done. I had a 50 cent coin and it wouldn't work. A perfect place to take a perfect picture, just like a painting.

On the 10th day of our Viking Grand European Tour, we stopped at this grand location. This is part of tour package so we didn’t have to pay the entrance fee. The Residence is grand on the outside as well as on the inside. It’s just a little bit disappointing not to be able to take pictures inside but to see it with my own eyes is great. Upon completing the inside tour, you can also visit the courtyard garden and enjoy the flowers, shrubs and trees that complement the grandeur of this tourist attraction. By the way, the place is also wheelchair accessible via an elevator if you want to go to the main attraction inside the building.

Definitely worth doing the tour in English as the guide was both informative and amusing. The entire palace is quite extraordinary, particularly since it was reconstructed following the British Obliteration in the Second World War (May will be forgiven please).

You can get a tour of the palace in English and the entry ticket costs €9/ per person and if you are w astudent you pay one euro less. The palace gardens are stunning.
Must visit if you are in Munich for a while
Family leisure park with thrill rides & an aquarium, plus German landmarks built from Lego.
Great place for whole family. Waiting time usually not more than 15 minutes (Monday beginning of July).
Ticket price ok for adults and kids over the height limit, but far too expensive for smaller kids who are not allowed to most attractions, but still pay full price.
Food ok, the best one we found is the City restaurant with nice buffet.

All of the displays were amazing, but the lines for rides were just too long. I highly recommend visiting during a week day instead of the weekend. Our toddler didn't handle the hour plus long waits for rides, so we spent most of our time walking around and checking out the different displays.

Mostly industrial food of low to average quality. It's tapas like, so that everyone finds something matching their taste. There's more than enough, especially if you bring kids since the portions are the same for all.
The steak is reconstructed. The chicken was quite tasty (that was the best of the meal in my opinion).
The servers were really nice. The room is extremely noisy.

We went to Legoland during the Easter holiday. The amusement park is beautiful and well-organized. However, if you don't buy the fast track tickets, you'll have to wait a long time to play the games. The food isn't too expensive and quite tasty. If you visit on weekends or holidays, it's advisable to purchase fast track tickets to avoid long waits.

Amazing place for small and big kids. The wait time for the rides is quite long so the Express pass is worth looking into. Or spend two days, there is enough to experience!

Very nice experience if you or even better your kid is a Lego fan. I imagine the experience for kids is really amazing. On the other hand, the park does lack rides that would be suitable for older visitors.
All in all would recommend, but don't get your hopes up too high as the park is also not really that big.

Amusement park for kids all ages starting from 5 or 6 years old. 2 days 2 night is perfect compromise to enjoy and have some rest however the park is not extremely huge so if not so many people best attractions can be tried in a shorter time...about the cost I wouldn't say that park, overnight, food is cheap but surely everything around including toilets are very clean

Legoland is the top attraction in case you have kids. Few tips & tricks to plan your visit well:
- if you can, plan your visit during work days, avoid weekends and public holidays. Even on Monday there were many people.
- Online tickets available only, please take care to buy it in advance. Parking ticket might be purchased online as well
- install app for queues monitoring, attractions planning, navigation
- note all rides closes 1 hr before park closing. And yes, Sealife aquarium also categorized as ride 😁Kids loved it! Diverse settings with fun rides and playgrounds. Main dining area best value to eat, especially, pizza. Take water since expensive to purchase on site. Get there early with a plan as to priorities in rides since some have longer wait times as the day progresses. I suspect summer months will have this park very crt due to its size (small).LegolandWe came here to meet friends who have older kids. I thought my one year old wouldn’t really get much from it. I was wrong! We all had a lot of fun! The duplo area is just perfect for the little ones and he absolutely loved it there! The food at the restaurant was also really good and the changing rooms are super well equipped. We’ll come back!

A great theme park with lots of activities for kids in all ages. Most of the rides are suitable for kids 6 and older, but even the older ones can find lots of fun activities. You’ll find roller coasters, water activities, 3D, maze, tea cups, food and drinks.
Don’t miss the Lego mini cities- quite remarkable!
Park closes at 18:00 and can be quite busy during the holidays.
Make sure to download the app for navigation through the park and queue times.

Basically very nice especially for smaller children. The problem is however that the park is overcrowded. During a seven hour visit you'll make maybe 30% of what you've planned. Example - savana ride. Waiting for 20 minutes for 2 minutes ride. Waiting for food is more than half an hour.

Great place for kids. Some attractions may catch attention of parents as well. Of course every attraction is hindered by queue, sometimes 40 minutes long Large parking place nearby.
Miroslav Okrina — Google review
Had a great time there with my kid and husband, spent 1 day there and we would have needed more time. We bought the tickets in advance, about 2 months before the day.
The child was able to enjoy all the attractions even though he is around 120 cm tall (for some was mandatory to have an adult with him).
All the attractions were closed at 5pm.
The food is not that good, just junk food.

If you have kid who loves Lego or not, this place is a must visit!! It’s a proper 2 days holiday to cover all the rides (may not be enough for some). Please note all rides have height restrictions- minimum requirement varies from 100 to 130cm. Those fun and fast rides require 110cm as minimum. So check the website for the minimum height requirements for individual rides. And this is strictly followed due to safety and security reasons. My personal recommendation is wait until your kid is min 120cm :)
We visited here March last week 2024 just before the Easter holidays. It was for 2 nights and booked a family room in Kings Castle. We got lucky weather was amazing!!
We didn’t have our own car so, we visited here using public transportation end to end. Günzburg is the nearest train station. There’s direct buses from station to legoland park then to holiday village (hotel, villas etc). Time table completely varies, it’s either every 30min or 1hr interval (maybe 2hr during the lunch hour). This is applicable in either direction.
Here’s how we managed our travel- we reached Günzburg by train around 11:00 and there was bus. We reached there and did complete our check in process just at the entrance. And you can drop your luggage at the check in counter. They delivered directly to the reception building at the holiday village. This made whole process easier. We directly entered the park and enjoyed our rides until 5:30pm and directly headed to holiday village. This was about 10-15min walk. We found out where the reception building was and collected our luggage and brought it ourselves to kings castle where my room was booked. Breakfast was amazing at this hotel.
There are dinner buffet was available within the village and we had reservations done whilst booking rooms. We booked Pirate and duschland, first was fantastic and other one was ok-ok sorts.
After checking out, we returned to Günzburg train stations there are bus services 30min to 1hr intervals until 12:22pm, then it starts from 14:00ish again. (During the winter there are limited options, it appears that typically from March mid frequency gets increased).
LEGO Land park is baby stroller/pram friendly.

We had an amazing day out at Legoland Germany. We stayed locally, the night before and spent the entire day there. We went mid October Monday, so crowds were small. It’s was epic. Could have easily filled in 2 days, but had to keep moving. The kids 13 & 8 loved it. Roller coasters were appreciated by both the kids and adults. As an adult, I’d have to say, way cooler than I expected. Way cooler.

LEGO land in Gunzburg is one of the best playtime for kids. You need 1 full day to cover this park.
I have been just 1 week before Halloween and it was best experience for my daughter.
Ticket prices are variable and better to book early. Also I suggest to book online instead waiting in Q.
If your kids 3 above and looking for safe rides, then this is the first choice.

We booked a 3-night stay 20 days ago, the price was 330EUR for a campervan place to park and 2 day tickets for 5 people. We arrived on Sunday afternoon, the holiday Village was rather full. The facilities were clean, there was also a special cleaning machine for chemical toilet. Just be careful, some people use drinking water to clean their toilet. Yuck. It took about 7 minutes to walk to Legoland through a small wood. In the morning they open at 9.45, the rides start at 10 a.m. The waiting times differ a big deal- we waited 30 minutes for the top rides, 5 minutes for others. When it started to rain on Tuesday, there were absolutely no waiting times and the kids enjoyed Maximus ride 5times in a row. If it rains and you have a raincoat, you are in for a lot of fun. Just a note - there are definitely not enough places to hide from rain. If it rains and you want to sit for a while, no chance... just 2 pizza places which are permanently full. The food was nothing special - fast food schnitzel rather bad (10 eur) chips good (6eur), waffles very good (6eur), pizza okay(10eur), popcorn good(5,50eur). Alltgether the kids were over the moon, a place to go.

Awesome!! I highly recomand to buy tickets in advance!! My 4y and 6y were super excited. Even if we were in winter season and many attractions were closed, we barely had enough time to explore 80% of the park in ~6h

It’s a great park if you’re a Lego fan although somehow it feels older than it is (20 years old). Rides and attractions are ok although without much capacity, meaning you need to queue a fair bunch for very short rides (2-3mins). I can’t imagine that ratio during the high-season… Most of the staff was ok and average rude, not many English speakers. Plenty of shopping opportunities. We had a great family time but it’s unlikely that we will make the trip again.
The Imperial Castle of Nuremberg is a majestic castle complex from the 11th century that includes a royal palace and gardens, offering breathtaking views of the city. Originally built as a court, it later became infamous for being used by the Third Reich to enact oppressive laws in 1935. However, its most notable historical event was hosting the 'Nuremberg Trials' after World War II.
I had a great time walking around the castle, appreciating the history and contemplating what my home country looked like at the time the castle was built and bustling with activity. I went on a rainy, dreary day but I still had good views of the surrounding area.

Wow, wow, wow. Excellent castle visit to the Imperial Castle.
Located at the top of a hill, overlooking the city of Nuremberg, the Imperial Castle is reached after a serious climb uphill. Not difficult for the fully able ,it is a long rather arduous slog up to the courtyard.
*******,Handicap VERY difficult , if not impossible, not made any easier by the cobblestone road .*********( that said, I did see a gentleman with a walker!!!)
The museum entry is 7 Euros, 6 if you are a senior or a student.
Wow----super excellent presentation and displays of the medieval history of this castle 🏰. Armaments, armor, clothing, artifacts, explanations and visuals were superb. One of the best. Great value for the money!!!!
Restaurant in the courtyard
BEST VIEWS OF NUREMBERG. PHOTO OP ++++++!!!!!!
Restrooms available.
Free brochures.
Recommended highly 👌 👍 👏
Final take . Prep yourself for the climb up but well worth it

It was amazing to visit this imperial castle of Nuremberg. The constructions were protected with 3 layered thick wall with around 10 ft thickness and 2 stages of different heights. The tunnels, the rooms, the towers, the gardens, the dungeons, the underground pathways designs and the city view points were awesome to see. I felt like I entered in the Game of Thrones series.

Amazing medieval castle that have been kept so well.
This is truly a castle with super strong defense.
Not far from the city center market, easy to walk to. Free to walk into it and there is a good view of the old town.
Even though Nuremberg was 90% destroyed during WWII, the old town was rebuilt and restored according to the pictures they had of the old buildings and structures. So, much of the history is preserved. Otherwise, if they had decided to build everything new, there would not be not much of the past left to see.
Very impressive old town city market with a gorgeous fountain and church, and you can buy fantastic food, flowers, gingerbread cookies….
If you are a WWII history fan, then you have a lot more places to see.
Really worth visiting.
Bei Lu — Google review
It's incredible how well-preserved the castle is post-World War II. Its grandeur and size are truly breathtaking. From the top, overlooking the town, you understand why it was strategically placed there. The surrounding city walls in Nuremberg are still intact, offering about an hour's walk around them. Navigating the city is convenient; everything is within a 30-minute walk from the center, allowing you to discover hidden gems like bridges, churches, and historic buildings along the way. The castle itself offers free entry and plenty of areas to relax. Exploring its various sections, like the converted horse stables and food storage areas, is best with a knowledgeable local guide to delve into its history. Though it requires a bit of uphill walking, the panoramic view from the top makes it all worthwhile, showcasing the city's landmarks and beauty.

This iconic castle is likely more interesting from the outside than the inside.
Due to destruction during WWII, most of the interiors are redone as a museum. The anvient weapons and armor displays are nice.
Climbing up the tower was fun and offers great views. The deep well guided tour was the best part thanks to the enthusiastic and engaging guide.

Historical landmark & museum with commanding views out across the city. This is a must visit attraction if you’re in the city and would like to know about its foundation.

There may be accessible ways to get there that I did t see.

I still can't believe that the castle is still in such good shape after the Second World War. Breathtaking, massive, magnificent. When you go up to the top and look out over the town, you get a sense of why they built the castle where it is. I cannot get over how impressive it is. Also, Nuremberg is still surrounded by the great city walls. It takes about an hour to walk around them. That's the great thing about the city. You can walk anywhere and it never takes more than 30 minutes to get to the other side of the city centre. Best of all, while you are exploring the city on foot, you will find many other gems on your walking adventure. From bridges to churches and other lovely old buildings. Enjoy!🏰✨️
Little tip: During weekdays you can enter the inside of the castles for free. That is in the morning until 10am or so

This is a beautiful place to visit. It has a very steep cobbled path leading up to the entrance and a lot of steps inside. I bought the combination ticket which was worth it. The castle is well presented inside with educational displays. The tower is 112 steps up a spiral staircase, but the views from the top were beautiful. The tour to the well was funny and fascinating. The tour guide knew his stuff.
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.

Bays are large all sorts of vehicles can fit there no problem.

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!

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.

An amazing clock tower with so much ornate detail. It was very busy even on Monday, I would recommend you go on a weekday. The clock rings 3 times a day in the summer. 2 in the winter. Amazing sight to see nonetheless.

A nice central plaza that lies in the heart if the city connecting between its main streets and shopping malls. You can sit there for the whole day enjoying the traditional bakery and watching the freelancer artists doing their musical performance. Got money to waste ? You can do all your shopping from the near by shops. Apple is by the corner😍.

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.

A perfect place that offers many different options to enjoy a nice beer in the outdoors. I loved the architecture there, the place is so beautiful and it is surrounded by many other wonderful places such as cathedrals, restaurants, emblematic buildings and other spots just waiting to be discovered by us!

Very beautiful place. To enjoy it the most i would suggest to visit it during the sunrise on a weekday when there are no crowds of people since it's extremely popular. Fantastic architecture, literally must visit for every tourist in Munich.

The old city center of Munich is a place you can sit, stand, watch for hours with ornate detail and people watching.
Sadly we missed the final Glockenspiel show of the day (17:00) but there were plenty of other bells to enjoy throughout the hour.

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.

Beautiful place, crowded but lots of shops and pigeons. I recommend visiting. The glockenspiel show isn't anything impressive. I recommend taking the elevator for a few euro up the town hall and seeing a view of Munich.

Just perfect for enjoying your beer out in the open, there are many bars or cafe around. And of course… the expensive shopping nearby. Any brand you can think of, you will find it here.

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.

Heart of the Munich City. Every person visiting this beautiful city must have visited or passed through the Marienplatz.. city center of Munich. Most of the household items and all the shops are found here. Always a crowded place. It is definitely a safe place even though it's crowded. People are nice, they just care their own business. 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 lot of souvenir shops are found in this place .. highfi city area. Have fun visiting Munich Marienplatz.

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 English Garden is an expansive urban park in Munich, constructed in the 18th century. Spanning a vast area of 375 hectares (927 acres), it offers a multitude of activities for visitors to enjoy throughout the year. Surrounded by several neighborhoods and running alongside the river, this park boasts an impressive network of 78km (50 miles) cycling and jogging trails. Its natural beauty is enhanced by carefully designed landscapes, providing both excitement and comfort to visitors.
This place is just wow, scenic place with lot of places to admire the nature.
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.
Not to missed in Munich !!

The huge and lovely English Garden in Munich is a great place to visit, whether it's sunny or cloudy. On sunny days, you can enjoy outdoor activities like surfing with a lot of people around. But if you prefer a quieter garden experience, it's even more charming on cloudy days.

What an amazing park in the middle of the city. We went when the weather was perfect - slight drizzle which made everything seem greener and smell amazing!
Had a lovely time walking around and enjoying the fresh air. Wish we could've spent more time in this amazing garden.

A place to visit when in Munich. The English Garden is the largest city park in the world, very peaceful, has many walking paths, places to sit and have a picnic or stop at the Chinese Tower where you can buy delicious food and drinks. Don't miss the unique surfing on the river Eisbah in the English Garden.

The Englischer Garden in Munich is very similar to Central Park in the United States and Stanley Park in Vancouver. It is very large, and walking or exercising here is very comfortable. I recommend that everyone who visits Munich should come and see it, especially since there don’t seem to be many places to visit in Munich.

Beautiful place but due to the winter season it was very grayish and of course the water was frozen. It should one of the most green/colorful place during summer and autumn.

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.

It's located close to the city center. Peaceful to take a walk. I visited on Saturday. I entered after visiting the Hofgarten. I love to be close to water, and there is a river where people surf, there are many ducks. I spent a while taking pictures and videos. If you continue walking along the river you will see place where one can buy food and drinks, that was nice, I needed warm drink. Next time would walk further to the other side.

This place has a large grass area, you can chit chat with your friends, play voleyball, sometimes even swim. There are a lot of people on weekends it is jam packed but still fun tho. Oh and you can watch surfers surf against the stream, pretty cool.

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.

A wonderful park to spend time for locals and tourists alike. Beautiful during any season. Try swimming in the Eisbach river and check out the surfers at the standing wave. Enjoy some beer at the Chinese Tower in summer or mould wine in winter. The Seehaus beer garden is also lovely to visit when the sun is shining.

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 Frauenkirche Dresdens rebuilt after World War II is a stunning example of baroque architecture and offers guided tours. Bach played an inaugural organ concert in 1736, and the church dedicates many concerts to his music.
A unique, magnificent view of Dresden that takes the tiredness of climbing up individual steps and narrow corridors to that church. To be loved, to be admired. This baroque style church, which remained a war memorial for fifty years, fascinates with its magnificence.

The Frauenkirche in Dresden is a beautiful church. This impressive building is very beautiful to look at from the outside and inside. We even had a guided tour with interesting information and backgrounds
The city that suffered the most from the destruction of World War II, demonstrates the strength of reconstruction and its beauties!

I simply love this place ❤️ I was at Dresden for 3 times but I was waiting for 20 years to get there. From my childhood we had at our library book about Dresdener museum and I want to get there since I was 5. So my dreams come true and now I am visiting this lovely place approx twice a year.

Beautiful church to visit. Cost is free to go into the church. You can ascend to the dome for 10 euro. Well worth it. 70 meters high (221 ft) to viewing area. I counted 304 stairs descent with 300 meters of spiral climb (non steps)

We visited the nearby bridge to witness the colourful new year celebrations. If you don’t eyewitness it you won’t be able to feel the ambience as well. Few photographs have been captured to have a look later, however, which is not sufficient, I believe.

What a marvelous church and rich history that comes with it. It was bombed and destroyed during WW2 by ally forces and left in ruin during the communist rules. Then, the church was rebuilt in 8the 1990s and stands firm as a witness of history.
The lady staff holding an album of the historical photos near the front area was extremely helpful by explaining its history to visitors. Highly recommended!
