The top stops along the way from Rothenburg to Prague (with short detours) are Imperial Castle of Nuremberg, Old Pilsner Urquell Brewery water Tower, and Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds. Other popular stops include Karlštejn Castle, Singing Fountain, and Loket Castle.
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

Quite a beautiful little castle. Really great museum. Would recommend getting the combination ticket as the view from the top of the tower is really great and the deep well tour is quite a different experience. They also got a couple of eateries on site.

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.

Another stop on our city walking tour. End of September 2023. There is no charge to go through the grounds. Took us about 20min to visit. The buildings are beautiful to see, and the views from the top are spectacular! Definitely worth walking up.

Beautiful castle and wonderful city. Explored all around the castle grounds, up into the tower and also saw the well. 100% recommend a visit! Plenty of sites to see to fill an afternoon.

Less stairs in the tower than St. Augustine’s Light house (St. Augustine, Florida USA). Beautiful piece of history- we spent the afternoon! A must see- most of the displays information is in German- spring for the audio it’s worth it!!

Very impressive castle. A capital of European Kings from 11 till 16 centuries. Place where Holy Roman empire was ruled from. Building itself is really big on the top of the hill. Views around are amazing. Very strongly recommended!
Raimundas Vaisvilas — Google review
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. Excellent exhibits, some interactive with translations available. Has a reasonably priced cafe and some gardens for relaxing in too. It can be a bit of a slog getting up the hill though. There may be accessible ways to get there that I did t see.
Michael Macgillivray — Google review
Great views of the old city from here. There’s a nice cafe and gift shop at the top. It’s worth the walk up for the views and the way back down is dotted with great places to eat and drink. Definitely recommend this if you’re in town.

….Its was a real steep walk to get to the top as the Castle 🏰 is on one of the highest points of Nurnberg! Very impressive to see how well it’s preserved and maintained! And it has many tower and you can observe it from different angles…there bars and restaurants where one can enjoy foods offered! A must see or just to wonder around…Absolute-lii magnificent and the gardens are breathtaking-lii beautiful…,

This is a sprawling wonder. You can wander around the grounds, inside and out, for hours. There are many small and large secrets to discover. And much light a good piece of art, it changes dramatically with the light of day and night.

Very pretty, caring lots of history. I was a bit disappointed that the crown was a 3D model and not something that would replicate best the real ones, but that’s understandable.
Not all the things inside the museum has an English translation, but it’s worth visiting the museum!

It has a really good view of the city. View point is open all the time,but the castle is closed on holidays and the weekend. Spent the new years eve here, and the view point was very much crowded.Inside it has a museum, a deep well, and a tower where you can take a better view of the city.

Beautiful castle. Nice view of Nuremberg city. Go with a tour guy so you will know the history of the place.
Js c — Google review
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 Evangelical Lutheran Parish of Nuremberg is a medieval church in the former free imperial city of Nuremberg in southern Germany. It was badly damaged during World War II and later restored. The church features an elaborate Gothic facade with two soaring twin spires, rose window, delicate religious statuary, and a large organ.
I'm not into the christian culture so much but the architecture was so amazing that I was impressed like Wow.
NATSUMI NAGAMURA — Google review
Amazing cathedral with Gothic style architecture. The building is clearly visible in this small town with few tall buildings. The twin towers looked massive from a distance, and even more imposing up close. Inside is richly decorated. There are many religious artifacts, paintings, sculptures, and relics. Definitely worth visiting if you are in the area. There are also many street vendors selling great foods outside. This entire area is very pedestrian friendly.
James Zhang — Google review
The Frauenkirche is a true treasure! Its historical importance and stunning architecture make it an essential destination. Rebuilt after the war, it's a delight for history and architecture enthusiasts alike. Apart from its scenic views, the area hosts numerous talented street performers. It's worth taking the time to appreciate their efforts to make a living. Visiting this church in Nuremberg was a treat for both history and architecture lovers. Although crowded on weekends, it's still worth the wait to enter. Located in the old town area, its towering spires and intricate design are impressive. Inside, the high ceilings and detailed interior add to the experience. Donations are encouraged, and there's a shop and information boards to learn more about its history. A worthwhile stop on the way to the castle area from the main train station.

Very large with a high ceiling. Here you can specifically see how kings where different from serfs. How they built structures. And how they differ to now. It's a great experience to be in a place that's older than the whole united states twice over.

The magic thing about the St. Lorenz (St. Lawrence) Church is its amazing rebuilding/restoration after it was almost completely destroyed during WWII. The church is wonderfully ornated. It is a true architectural gothic-style building. However, there aren't many people visiting it, and the walk-in is pleasant and relaxing.

It's a medieval church renowned for its Gothic architecture and impressive sculptures. The church is a significant landmark in Nuremberg and is known for its stunning interior, including the famous "Angel's Choir" by sculptor Adam Kraft.

The Lorenzkirche is in the heart of the old city walls of Nüremberg. It chimes and reminds people what time of day it is no mater what part of the old town your in. Around Christmas time some of the best Christmas markets can be found in all the streets and market place area around the Church. This is a visually beautiful area of Nüremberg and the Christmas markets are a bonus, they truly are a annual treat.

The church was originally built as a three-aisled basilica in the Gothic style around 1250, then expanded by an imposing late Gothic hall choir between 1439 and 1477. It was seriously damaged 😔 during the Second World War and it took about seven years to restore it.

It's one of the churches that must be seen in Nurnberg because it's old and with an impressive architecture. I attended a Christmas concert there and the acoustics was perfect.
Altstadt - St. Sebald, located in Nuremberg, is a charming area known for its annual Christmas Market and the 11th-century Imperial Castle. Visitors can explore medieval dungeons and tunnels through guided tours, as well as visit unique museums such as the Toy Museum, Hat Museum, and Amber Museum. The Albrecht-Dürer-Haus offers insight into the life and work of the renowned artist.
The Documentation Centre Nazi Party Rally Grounds in Nuremberg is a museum that provides an in-depth look at the history, politics and why behind the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. The grounds also served as a large venue for Nazi rallies. Today, it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Germany.
The Dokuzentrum offers a really interesting look into WW2 history. I would really recommend going there if you're in Nürnberg

A very interesting place. Very informative displays. Visited as part of a walk around the entire site (which took a good couple of hours) I would have rated it higher if it hadn’t been a temporary exhibition. Compared to the similar Document Centre we visited in Munich (which was free, this one wasn’t) there was far more information available.

The museum is currently in renovation. Currently, there is just one small part arranged. The entrance of 6 euro is a bit steep for what it is now, but already to stay in a real place of the history that you explain is a big plus. Then, even though it is temporary, it is well done and give you an understanding of the area.

I can’t imagine how crowded it would be on a busy day, but my party and I were able to take our time and not feel crowded.
I recommend several breaks for fresh air like me if stuff like this can weigh you down.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, it is alright to not know something. We are all here to learn.

The museum is great. Anyone interested in old cars and aviation with Zeppelins has come to the right place. Entrance fee of 9.50 euros is just about okay.
However, parts of the museum are not heated. Be sure to dress warmly in winter. A room temperature that was 3 or 4 degrees higher wouldn't have been bad.
No credit cards accepted, only debit cards.

There are some interesting facts though, about the bike industry and patents, and also the war tanks industry.
The video related to the Hindenburg disaster and the crash of the Zeppelin in the US in 1937, was really touching!

I am sorry to say this, however as of now I cannot suggest this place to any of my friends.
It is clearly an old place and it looks like it’s not kept up as it is supposed to be.
- There is algae in all the outside filters and the inside filters do not look really clean either.
- The little “cave” has residue on the walls which makes me feel icky.
- The seats were made out of really cheap looking plastic and the metal frames of quiet a few of the loungers are rusty.
a. s. o. ..
There is no reason to make a special Tripp to this location.

From the outside the place has great appeal with modern architecture and smooth surfaces, however once inside the age of the building shows. The changing rooms are packed full with changing booths and lockers with little room to maneuver around. There is only one male and one female shower room with 5-7 shower heads.
The pool area is cramped with chairs along the edges forcing you to side step past them. The concrete walls show signs of water damage and paint peeling all over. The two indoor “hot” pools were actually mildly warm with only small sections of bubbling water.
The area with the children’s pool and area was very nicely layout, however most of the kids were in the main area with their parents in the warm pools. Their behavior and loudness took away from the goal of relaxing.
A recommendation for the locker keys and access control to different areas, use a more modern method like a rubber wrist band embedded with a chip that is programmed at front desk. The coin chip works, however placing it in the wrist band holder with the locker key is bulky and requires constant attention to ensure it’s still tight or fastened to wrist.
Overall the place is best suited to take your children and let them burn some energy off. This is NOT a place to go if you wanna relax in a hot therme.

The Hexenbesen wasn't as enjoyable, but that is just personal preference. I would definitely recommend getting there before early afternoon, as it seemed to start getting busier around then. We arrived around 11:00 and stayed for a few hours and barely had to queue at all.

Much fun for family but one less star becuase they only operated the yellow ride on the day we visited. Green and red were closed. The comfort offered by the caahier made us feel worse when she said "rides are all about the same"

Amazing place for the whole family to enjoy. Great rides and a awesome view. Highly recommend getting the six ride ticket, it's worth the cost. Plus there's other activities for the smaller kids to enjoy.

People cut lines to get tickets, and no guidance over it. You need a skywalk ticket to get your young children on the slide, which was not informed until you walk to the top. Kart itself was fun, but definitely not recommended to come on weekends.

Sooooo much fun! Beautiful scenery, fun rides and a quaint town. Very affordable and great for a family day out.
Deep, multi-chambered cave with limestone formations, stalactites & stalagmites, plus bear skeleton.
Different experience... Lime stone cave... Amazing inside cave. Entry ticket costed €5 per person. Both German and English language guide are there..

Awesome place to visit! Not only is the the tour 100% worth the very small entry fee but after your done be prepared for some beautiful nature walks! Pictures do not do this place justice! There is a nice restaurant right there as well that smelled delicious (we had already eaten before coming here)

Nice area to discover - the cave is just great, 45 mins route done by an experienced guide (only speaks German) seeing everything (BTW - take a jacket with you, inside is quite cold). Outside, the area is gorgeous so you could hike around and there are a few options to lunch - prices are reasonable and quality is overall good. Last but not least, the people working there is kind and there is a parking area next to it, but also some other lots nearby.

There is so much more than the cave in the area - if it's summer you can plan a whole day starting with thos amazing cave tour.
Even on a busy Sunday parking was not hard and it's €2 for two hours. There is a nice cafe on site and TONS of trails to walk on after the tour.
The tour itself was cheap and a lot of fun. They have lots of different language options as well. That have a family ticket that includes 2 adults and three kids for only €20. We brought light jackets and it was fine for the temperature.
100% would recommend.

Definetly worth visiting, they even have student discount (5€ each ticket) and give you a guided tour (which is in germany but at the end they'll play a english version over the spearks for you to understand everything about the devil's cave!). Addionally the tour guide was very nice to everyone. Beware that the path has a lot of stairs and can be a bit claustrophobic. In some parts you'll need to crouch a bit to be able to go through. But, again, it's definetly worth it!

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place where time stops, where every place or corner tells a story that you think is imaginary, from ancient times, with a civilized imprint from our current era. I was one of those who were prepared to visit this beautiful city. German cities always fascinate me with their beauty and warmth.

(Translated by Google) It's nice that as a pedestrian or cyclist you have the opportunity to enjoy the teasing view of the city glasses from this small bridge. In order to have the full effect, the bushes on the left side would have to be trimmed a bit, as nature has already done a great job here.

Schön, dass man als Fußgänger bzw. Radfahrer die Möglichkeit hat, von dieser kleinen Brücke aus den neckischen Anblick der Stadtbrille zu genießen. Um die volle Wirkung zu haben, müsste allerdings das Gebüsch auf der linken Seite etwas gestutzt werden, da die Natur hier schon ganze Arbeit geleistet hat.

(Translated by Google) The most worth seeing bridge in Amberg is the popularly called Stadtbrille. A water gate with a length of 46 meters was first mentioned in 1454 and bridges the Vils. Several renovations were carried out up to 1698. Since then, the bridge has had its current appearance. A great photo opportunity and certainly a must when visiting Amberg.

Die wohl sehenswerteste Brücke in Amberg ist die volkstümlich genannte Stadtbrille. Ein Wassertorbau mit 46 Metern Länge, wurde 1454 erstmals erwähnt und überbrückt die Vils. Mehrere Umbauten erfolgten bis zum Jahr 1698. Seitdem hat die Brücke ihr aktuelles Aussehen. Ein klasse Fotomotiv und sicher ein Pflichtprogramm bei einem Besuch in Amberg.

It's a nice place to visit. Lots of information and views. If you have a dog, you can only walk on the grounds but not go inside the buildings.
I hated that they had a eagle and owl and I think a falcon or so sitting there all alone and bored on a tiny enclosure bound with a short leash. That's why I actually wouldn't visit again.

It is a nice castle to visit but better if you speak czech or german as it is mainly in those two languages. The view from the tower is really nice and I wish there would have been one from the mill. Price is ok for what you get to visit. And we were lucky as most of the constructions were not affecting the visit.

It's not that expensive and totally worth it! There's discounts for seniors and students as well. (80 Kr for regular admission, 40 Kr Fr everyone else). You can go almost everywhere in the castle. The stairs in the tower are not wheelchair accessible, but you can get a great view of the city. I didn't see any toilets, which was kind of a bummer, but the castle probably didn't have indoor plumbing!
Family-friendly theme park with water rides & slides, roller coasters, go-karts & miniature golf.
Great place for kids aged 4-12.
The rides were really perfect for our 5 and 9 year old kids. Not too boring, not too scary, but a perfect fit.
Plus, there's two bumper car rides (in German: autoscooter). You don't have to pay and wait for the ride to start, but grab a car and join.
I also like the atmosphere in the park. It is a little bit older, but very attractive and down-to-earth.

A wonderful time with our Granddaughter. The entire park is made for everyone to enjoy. Rides for all ages included withing the entrance price. Wonderful walking paths or ride around the park on a park train. Enjoy the Flower Gardens and there are 2 BLACK SWANS for you to enjoy.

Nice park, suitable for 2-13 year old, however especially 6-10 year old children need to be accompanied still in most rides. The parks botanic is really beautiful, but somewhat unattended. The hygiene concept in this park is very questionable, with no disinfection possibilities other than at the toilets and "mandatory" adress registration folder laying unattended in the restaurants. Food prices are through the roof, so better be self-suppliant. There are better parks than this one.

One of the best amusement parks , especially for you family with 3yr old kid. All the rides are enjoyable. We visited on Monday and enjoyed fullest. Service is friendly. People can spend 3-5 hrs. Many kid friendly rides and designed for kids. Go for it if you go near by.
Update: 14May2022
3rd time in the park as we love it. But this time on a Saturday, the park is little busy. There is some waiting time for Dashing Cars, Go-cart, and water rafting ride. The Park closes at 5PM. Other rides are ok. So, don't go on weekend.

2020 - Nice, especially for kids under 12.
2022 - We was back this year and a little has changed. A lot of attractions are managed by young guys or girls: once they start the machines they keep on watching the celly phone instead of the kids, they even seem to be working. This happened a lot of times. To the owner: be careful of the security of your guests and take a look of the workers always playing with telephones.

Great park for kids up to about 10 to 12. There is a bit for every kid from sandpits and waterslides to a bobsled track and a wild water ride. It feels like a small family run place and it quite a few of the people operating the rides operate two or three of them at once walking from one to another.
It all feels kind of dated like time forgot about the place and that gives it a special charm.
If you have small kids and are in the area it most certainly is worth a visit on a nice summer day.
The Singing Fountain, also known as Zpivajici Fontana, is a popular tourist attraction featuring over 250 water jets that dance to classical and popular music. Lit up after dark, the fountain offers seasonal displays with hourly performances throughout the day and evening. Built as part of the reconstruction of the Maxim Gorky Promenade in the 1980s, this architectural marvel was designed by Pavel Miksik and features specially composed music by Petr Hapka.
A very appropriate attraction for this amazing surroundings. Check showtimes before heading there.

If playing pre-recorded music to a water fountain is a tourist attraction, my morning showers are worthy of a map pin. To be fair this visit was during daytime and there might be more to the spectacle at night with lights. For me, the most surprising aspect in visiting this fountain was the "reborn" meetup surrounding the outer fountain wall with proud collectors displaying their babies and vintage carriages, filling the space between the on-the-hour fountain event with photo opps galore.

Iconic and yet very gorgeous colonnade which represents the whole Marienbad. It is very similar like Carlsbad colonnade and what is very cute, that u can feel, that it is feminine-like architecture in its form and architectural accent. It is not worse nor bad, it is simply Marienbad icon, which represents the character of this place. The only thing which is bit sad is the flooring, which should be reconstructed and changed to some marble, limestone or other much higher quality material that will last. But by the end of the day, still beautiful.

So far the most beautiful castle I've seen, not only does it look incredible from far away sitting on the mountain rock, but also on the inside it still has the medieval sense to it, add to that the amazing views around it (forests).
Also you're free to roam inside as you wish, so few restrictions, plus a surprise in the dungeons!
Karim AG — Google review
From the outside, this castle is absolutely beautiful, and the view of the hill with the castle on it is a must see. This review does not concern the outside of the castle (as seen from afar), rather the inside.
Firstly, the mini-exhibitions in the different rooms seem to have nothing in common with each other, there is a lack of coherence throughout the entire road of the “tour”. Most of the items look like they were picked off in a local flea market for a discounted price. There is no explanation as to what connection the content of each room has to the castle itself, some rooms therefore look like storage units.
Secondly, the inner ground of the castle is without any genuine meaning to it other than the unappealing stands.
Overall, the insides do not look well thought out, and are in need of some serious investment. (especially the stairs and the walls)
Would not necessarily recommend visiting the insides of the castle.

Absolutely amazing castle to visit. Even self-guided tour was great, so many areas are open to visitors, including parts of Roman rotunda that was hidden in staircase. The prison area is very realistically done, mannequins staged in cells to demonstrate gruesome torture devices (avoid if you are sensitive). History is explained, though there is room for improvement in making it more visitor- friendly (like an audio tour for example). There were few interactive areas for kids
I rarely give 5 stars to anywhere but this place is fabulous. Top sight in Klatovy. It’s very modern with good explanatory information. A few video reels as well. The mummies are amazing. Most preserved I’ve ever seen a yet in the world. As they explain, it’s natural mummification because of the hot dry atmosphere. A must see in Klatovy. Unfortunately I can’t post pictures of the mummies because it’s not allowed by Google. Same as art that shows nudity. Art censorship

Plzeň Zoo is a combination of zoo and botanic gardens that boasts over 1300 species. The park offers a breeding program and visitors can see animals such as rhinos, cheetahs, hippos, lemurs, and leopards with their cubs. There are snack bars available throughout the zoo which is quite big and takes approximately 5 hours to explore due to the abundance of animals to admire.
Surprisingly big with lots of exotic animals. Unfortunately tigers were not out on display but the Lion cage made up for it! Super cool how they presented the lions, let's you stand just a few feet away with nothing but glass between you so makes for awesome photo opp!

Very good experience overall. The Dino park is very childish and small and is only good for children but it is very expensive. Don't waste your money for the Dino park. The zoo is beautiful and has lots of snack bars around. Quite big and we needed about 5 hours plus as there are many many animals to admire. The lemurs are the best as they roam freely around you. That alone got our money back which is very fun! The birds look the most unhealthy in the zoo as the cages have been built too low. The birds are not able to fly at all. The leopard mother is very fierce but her 2 cubs are extremely adorable. Recommended to go if you are in that area!

If you want a map, ask the cashier when buying your ticket.

The Cathedral of St. Bartholomew is a Gothic cathedral built in the late 13th-century with the Czech Republic's tallest spire. It showcases Renaissance paintings and provides a beautiful panoramic view of Plzen and its main square from the top, which can be reached through wide stairs that are not too steep. A net cage completely encloses the platform at the top for safety reasons.
A grey cathedral. The cathedral is a wonderful example of gothic medieval architecture. You can walk around the entire structure, as it is located in the middle of the beautiful main square of the city. The interior has many lovely paintings and altars. The hanging central cross with mourning John and Maria’s is exceptional. You can climb the impressive tower for a far view of the area. Well worth a visit, which is free when we went there.

Great place to visit in Pilsen, it’s in the centre of the city and during Christmas it looks so beautiful along with the small Christmas market, few people etc. Great experience.

A beautiful church located in the city square. Highly recommend stopping by and taking a look around, it's very well maintained and preserved. We sat and had lunch on the outskirts of the block, it's a beautiful view from the outside too. There are little markets around the outside on the weekends for shopping, souvenirs, trinkets, and snacks.

One of the best landmark to city center in Plzeň. Various celebrations used to happen around this cathedral all over the year! Yearly christmas market is happened around the square.

The St. Bartholomew's Cathedral in Pilsen is a Gothic cathedral from the late 13th century, adorned with Renaissance paintings and boasting the tallest church tower in the Czech Republic. It is centrally located on the main square and is beautiful both on the outside and inside. For those without a fear of heights, you can ascend the tower during the day, where you'll be treated to a wonderful view over the entire city of Pilsen.

Beautiful round view above Plzen and the main square from up there. And in addition it's not too high and very well stairs (wide enough, not too steep) inside.
The platform on top is completely closed with a net cage for safety reasons.
If you enjoy a view (or to get an overview) over a city you're visiting, I'd recommend going up there.

A treasure and gem of Plzen, Czech Republic, the Cathedral of Saint Bartholomew is sure not to disappoint! A visit to Plzen, without a visit to Saint Bartholomew, is incomplete.

Beautiful architecture inside and out. The climb up the stairs is worth it to see a birds eye view of Pilsen.
Sam Bullen — Google review
Visiting the cathedral was a stairway to both awe and exhaustion! The climb to the top's 13 floors felt like a marathon for my calves, but the view was so stunning that I momentarily forgot I had legs. It literally took my breath away - and not just from the stairs. The panoramic spectacle from the tower is worth every step, and the feeling of accomplishment at the summit is like reaching the pinnacle of a comedic workout routine. Definitely a must-visit, just be prepared for a workout with a side of breathtaking beauty!

Visited before Xmas and impress by church with Gothic architecture.
It's main and has highest clock town in Czech.
And also lucky to meet weekend market.
May see all kinds of local food and desert.
Also must try the hot red wine with fruit/flower.
There're accessories and handicraft.
Good luck to find one that you may interested.
Glad to visit.

Really nice view of the city around. On a clear day expect to see very far.
Low price for a rewarding view.
The climb to the top is a lot and quite steep at some stops. Not really recommend for elder people. Take your time and enjoy the top.

The Cathedral of St. Bartholomew in Plzen, Czech Republic, is a magnificent religious monument that showcases a unique blend of Gothic and Baroque architecture.
Located in the city's historic center, the cathedral's exterior is a stunning example of Gothic design, with soaring spires and intricate stonework that have been beautifully preserved over the centuries. The interior is equally impressive, with an ornate Baroque altar and a stunning ceiling fresco that depicts scenes from the life of St. Bartholomew.
When visiting Pilsen, the Old Pilsner Urquell Brewery water Tower is a must-see attraction for beer enthusiasts. The brewery, in operation since 1842, offers guided tours that take visitors through the history of Pilsner Beer production. Tour highlights include a visit to the old cellars and a taste of unpasteurized beer at the end.
Super
Jiří Krubl — Google review
(Translated by Google) Wonderful
I bought the tour in advance paying 16 euros
With more than 1h30m of explanations about the construction of the factory and the beginning of the production of pilsner beer
It was worth every penny
Tasting a glass of unpasteurized beer that will serve as the basis for large-scale production
I recommend the store at the end of the tour for unforgettable souvenirs and also to taste the beers ready for consumption

Maravilhosa
Comprei o tour antecipado pagando 16 euros
Com mais de 1h30m de explicações acerca da construção da fábrica e início da fabricação da cerveja pilsen

Recomendo a loja no fim do tour para lembranças inesquecíveis e tbem degustar as cervejas já prontas pro consumo

And at the end, of course, a tasting of unfiltered Pilsen, which matures in underground barrels.
And be sure to visit the souvenir shop.

Rabí Castle
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
Hilltop, fortified castle complex ruins, dating from the 14th century, destroyed by fire in 1720.
This castle ruin is easily accessible from the center of the town Rabí. The parking now costs 100 Kč per car, guided tour 160 Kč per person, discounted 130 Kč. We chose limited unguided walk for 50 Kč as we were pressed for time. The short access directly to the ticket booth and castle gate is extremely uneven and steep, full of jutting stones and slippery on a rainy day when we were there. Once you get in, the walking gets much easier, as there are more level dirt paths and maintained grass areas. Inside the restored horse stable was a nice photo exhibition of Šumava localities. When you are done here, consider a stop at the well known restaurant in the town square.

The largest castle ruin complex in Czechia.
To see more than the first courtyard, you need to pay quite a steep entry fee of 150 CZK/person, which also includes a 40 minute long tour guide in Czech.
The tour starts at the precise time, no matter what the weather conditions, which can be harsh if it's windy or rainy (remember, it's a ruin). Our guide was a bit rough around the edges and sometimes shouted at the kids or adults in the group to stay quiet, but I personally enjoyed his no BS character.
Overall interesting, but I couldn't find the price justifiable, because the complex gets enough visitors and doesn't aim to restore the castle into its full original state.
Joe Lobotka — Google review
Castle ruins in a beautiful state with a great location above the city. Well seen from around the city as well as great views from the castle over the surrounding area.
Only the inner court and the old stables can be visited without a tour. Various tours are offered (here even in English) to see all of the remaining buildings of the castle you need to book various tours. Due to time limitations we only could take the palace tour.
Would definitely visit again to explore the rest of the site.

No English tours and they don't allow you go around without a guide. So you have to pay for a Czech tour guide who you will never understand. Also if you pay to enter just to the castle ground you have to pay 50 czk per person and let me tell you, if I dropped somewhere and lost 50 czk, I'd feel much much less sad than paying castle Rabi, literally nowhere to go around. Sad.
Renaissance-era castle with its origins in the 12th century, with dining in medieval-themed tavern.

It was a majestic place with lots of history, beautiful views and great audio guides.
Eldar Bakerman — Google review
Access is only available on a tour. All tours are in Czech with with audio guides included in the price of 195 Kc.
The English audio guide was a very abbreviated version of the actual descriptions of the guide and in places it was not accurate.
Our group comprised one couple who spoke Czech and us. The guide at times spoke for 5 minutes after the audio guide finished and he made no effort to include us in the tour. He seemed to be a humourless soul but to be fair he did the 11.00, 12.00 and 13.00 tours back to back with no break between tours.
What is on display is ok, unfortunately the inadequacy of the audio guide means I can not recommend this tour.

The castle is great, you can feed deers there and look at beautiful peacocks. I liked it but I expected the territory to be bigger. I would suggest you to visit on weekday so deers won't be as fed and you can get more of their attention.

Fantastic place to walk and visit on weekends. The park is huge and walking relaxes you and you see the deer pass by your side. You can offer them special food (carrot) that you take there. Going around with the lamas is a great experience. The events that are organized in the place are an opportunity to learn about local products and try international food, drinking some wine, drinking beer or just resting.

I had a wonderful time visiting Blatna Castle and its deer park. The castle is a hidden gem, with a beautiful exterior and interesting history. The guided tour inside the castle was informative and engaging, giving a great insight into the life of nobility in the past. The deer park is a peaceful and serene oasis, with well-maintained pathways and plenty of deer roaming freely. It was a joy to observe the deer up close, and feeding them was an unforgettable experience. The castle grounds are picturesque and offer many opportunities for stunning photos. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to Blatna Castle and deer park for its beauty, tranquility, and historical significance

A bit park with an area to feed some deers. They are way over fed and don’t really like to be touched. Nice to bring kids if it’s not too far from you. Not packed with tourists as it’s basically in the middle of nowhere. Bring cut apples, they like it. Carrots much less

Great for a visit with kids! The castle park is very big and good for walks. There are also many deer in it that can be fed by hand. At the time of our visit there was also a nice Lego exhibition inside the castle. I recommend Blatna for a visit.
Křivoklát Castle, a 12th-century hunting lodge nestled in a dense forest, has a fascinating history as a royal residence and even a prison. The castle was rebuilt in the 19th century and now features a chapel, dungeon, and museum showcasing sleighs. A tour of the castle includes highlights such as the impressive library with over 52,000 books, the Royal Hall, and Gothic chapel.
Visited during Easter. 2nd visit already. Recommended but be aware if with small children no place for strollers bring baby carrier

Suggesting to buy tickets online, because if the weather is good and during the weekend there might be a lot of people and exhibition tours has a limit, so might be sold out. Unfortunately the tours are only in czech language, but still it's nice to see the castle from inside. Double check via phone maybe they can organize it in English if you inform in advance.

A beautiful medieval castle perched on a hill surrounded by forest. Great views from the tower(s). Only a few foreign tourists, less crowded than other famous castles. We had a fun day trip from Prague by a retro train.
The Holy Mountain is a Baroque-era pilgrimage church located in Pribram. The church features a highly intricate silver altar and a renowned statue of the Virgin Mary. This site is situated atop a mountain, which can be challenging to climb, but the stunning beauty of the place makes it well worth the effort. Additionally, there is an impressive monastery complex located on the hill above Pribram that is definitely worth visiting when in town.
Great historical place to visit.
Be ready for long and uphill walk if you are a pedestrian. Don't worry, it is just 1.2 km from Pribram center. So, 15 minute walking is not big deal.

The pilgrimage site Holy Mountain Příbram is one of the most beautiful and also the most visited. Frequent church services, especially in the run-up to Christmas.

Holy Mountains It is built into a large square and inside the square is sitting the old church (Basilica). When you have visited Loreta in Prague then you know what I am talking about, but the Loreta place with a church is much older than this one and so has more impact on visitors in terms of Christianity and spirituality than the Holy Mountain place - saying based on own feelings how I have perceived those places where hardly you can compare the Loreta Church' atmosphere of the place with anything. The other big difference is in Loreta place when you purchase photographs permission for 4 euros then you can take photographs everywhere. On the other hand in Holy Mountain you can take Photographs anywhere and it is quit strict so don't even try it. This mean my trip even did not start it and very quickly ended. Surely I went thought the whole comolex but visitor can take photographs only on the front of the entry to the Holy Mountain which si also nice but it is just a front face of the place. The other thing is the Loreta fee entry is an entry to the whole Loreta complex including the church, the pathways halls, two arts exhibitions and jewellery exhibition and so on. On the other hand in Holy Mountain visitor pay for every attraction separate such for entry to exhibitions, museum, for tower, for guidance walk around the path halls, for jewellery exhibitions and so on and tourist guide told even from the tower most likely is not permitted take photographs which was really too much for me to bite as never ever happens to me that I will pay extra fees for tower entry and then I would be not allow to take photographs surroundings around the place and that is really in my view unreasonable rules that simply discourage me to explore more about this nice place. So a stairs of the exit of the path halls was great to take stairs to the centre of the town Příbram which also did not exceeded my expectations and that my walk around the centre ended quickly around. Anyway, it a nice place (Holy Mountain) so when you will have a way around it is a nice place to visit and take a walk. Otherwise in Czech Republic, there are lots of similar places which might give to visitors in my opinion a little more because it is not all about the shine and gold.

Beautiful place, beautifully refurbished. It's an excellent example of Czech Baroque. I love the airiness, the colours, the welcoming atmosphere of the place. I do not miss the heavy marble style of Italian Baroque architecture. The corridor/stairway from the town up to Svatá Hora (actually a stairway to heaven 😉) is interesting as well as challenging with its 343 stairs.

Beautiful views over the Vltava river. Gardens and you can even get on a boat tour here. You can Go from Orlík to Zvíkov on the boat. They do one way or round trips. A couple of cafes here at Orlík as well. And the village has great restaurants and cafe bars as well. I highly recommend this area. It is one of my favorites.

(I don't speak Czech, but of course information sheets are given out in other languages that explain the rooms, you just miss out on the jokes).
No photos allowed inside the castle, but there are beautifully styled rooms, large collection of shotguns and deer antlers. Even one that was shot by Franz Ferdinand!

Karlštejn Castle is a beautiful Gothic castle in the countryside southwest of Prague. It is home to many royal treasures, including paintings and portraits of the emperor and his family. There are regular tours available, which are recommended if you want to see this magnificent building up close.
Excellent bathrooms and cafe up at the castle. Also were street vendors in the courtyard serving food and beer. Not a bad wake in that environment at all! Great view of the city or rather town below. The tour of the castle itself was engaging and interesting. Just about the right length of time.

Located about 30 kilometers southwest of Prague, Karlštejn Castle started life in 1348 and has since risen in the ranks to one of the best castles in the Czech Republic.
Karlštejn Castle was founded by the Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor as his private residence and a place of safekeeping royal treasures, especially his collections of holy relics and the Imperial Crown Jewels. In 1355 Charles IV stayed here for the first time, overseeing the construction and decoration work, especially in chapels. The construction was completed in 1365 when the Chapel of the Holy Cross in the Great Tower was consecrated.
The Chapel of the Holy Cross was the place of safekeeping the imperial crown jewels until 1420 when the Hussite wars (religious civil war) began, and they had not ever returned to Karlštejn Castle. After the wars in 1436, the Bohemian crown jewels were taken to the Chapel of the Holy Cross where they remained till 1619.
The castle was a representative residence of Charles IV and his son Wenceslas IV only, i.e. till 1419. As a fortress, Karlštejn Castle protected the crown jewels, holy relics, and royal archives till the 17th century.
After 1480 the castle was rebuilt in the late Gothic style, in the last quarter of the 16th century in the Renaissance style. During the last reconstruction that took place at the end of the 19th century (by architect Josef Mocker) in the spirit of purism, the castle gained its present appearance.
The preserved original stair-arrangement of individual castle buildings is very impressive. The lower section with a small courtyard by the Well Tower and the Burgrave´s House continue through the majestic five-storey Imperial Palace and the Marian Tower. At the highest point, the construction of the castle culminates in a monumental, 60-meter-high Great Tower and its massive fortifications.
An unique original 14th-century wall decoration, a set of 129 paintings created by Master Theodoric in the Chapel of the Holy Cross (the largest in the world), the largest portrait gallery of kings of Bohemia in the Czech Republic, a replica of the royal Crown of Bohemia, a unique castle well. The castle is also famous as a set to a comedy play Night at Karlštejn Castle by Czech poet Jaroslav Vrchlický.
After centuries of lying in near ruin, much needed restorative work has restored the Gothic castle to all its former glory, making it an immensely popular destination. The bustling tourist crowds are a stark contrast to the peaceful surrounding countryside which offers views of Karlstejn’s stunning exterior.
From November, 01st, 2021 to March, 31st, 2022 the castle is closed to the public, including the garden.

Great day trip just 30 minute train ride from Prague. The mandatory guided tours are informative and full of neat information. During winter months, the main part is closed off for preservation, so best to visit after May. We still enjoyed our time at the castle and in town, despite not being able to see everything.

Beautiful bohemian castle not far outside of Prague. My guide said many consider it to be the most beautiful in the whole country. However, I visited in April and a portion of the castle (including the chapel) was closed to the public. Also, the village that the castle is located in is seasonal, as there were no stores or restaurants open in the town on a Tuesday afternoon! I would recommend visiting between May-October.

Such a beautiful stop, this could be a quick adventure throughout your visit , it literally takes less than an hour to get here from the main train station and like 20 min walk from the train stop to the castle , the tours are 300 czk for the most basic one , and there are a lot of shops and restaurants that are along the way.

Very nice historic castle. Book a guide it helps understand the historic context. Try to visit weekdays because it is very crowded on weekends.

Impressive views, of and from the castle.
It's a nice good really up the hill, through the small village at the foot of the castle.
Many pitstop temptations before getting to the castle itself, I suggest considering a restaurant stop when coming back from the castle.
The tours are organized in Czech and in English.
Although there was a partial reconstruction in the courtyard that didn't impact the overall feeling of the place, its history and beauty.

Karlstejn Castle may not have a lot of history to back it up, considering it was constructed in less than 10 years and served as a storage for crowns and jewels rather than an official residence, but it's worth a day trip from Prague. If you don't drive a car, I recommend taking a one-way cab (Uber / Bolt) from Prague to the castle, after which you would only need to walk up to 5 minutes to the entrance where the tours begin. It's convenient and saves you the uphill climb. While going back, there are of course no cabs available so you'd need to take the train. The train station is a 30 minute walk from the entrance of the castle, right on the other side of the river, and the train itself takes only 45 minutes to get you to the Prague city center. It's quite convenient.
Second, I also recommend buying tour tickets in advance on their website, after which you only need to wait at the meeting point and do not have to queue up for tickets (note that you cannot enter the castle without a guided tour.) There are three types of tours available - I booked number 3 (View from the Great Tower), which is a short, 30 minute guided walk up to the fourth floor of the tour, and then you get 15 minutes to take pictures from the tower. Note that the tower is an enclosed space and the pictures are taken through windows, so you cannot take a picture of yourself with the castle from up the tower. This tour involved climbing some stairs but it wasn't too much.
There are also some areas you can explore on your own after the tour ends - the Clock Tower and the Well Tower are notable ones. I highly recommend the Well Tower, another 2 minute walk from the entrance, which has splendid views of the entire castle and is the best point to take a picture of yourself with the castle background! The well itself is also quite deep, and I also recommend a small souvenir shop by it, really cute hangings, bells, and fridge magnets available there.
The first few pictures I've added are from the Great Tower guided tour, and the last one is from the Well Tower. :)

Kristyna was our guide and she was absolutely delightful. We went on the Czech Tour (for time's sake) and she figured out pretty quickly that we didn't understand Czech, so when we stopped at different spots on the tour she would then speak English for us.
We were very appreciative especially since we knew she didn't have to do that.
Wonderful castle. Bring Czech crowns though. Most things in the little town on the way only take cash.

Beautiful castle and the village. We went by train from Prague main train station. It's cost us £18 up and down. Spend only few hours. Wish could go earlier. But managed to have a tour inside the castle last one.

There's nothing to see inside the castle!!! Total disappointment. The castle is just beautiful from the outside.... The excursion is about 30 minutes or so. I couldn't believe that people pay money for that. It is forbidden to take pictures inside but actually there's nothing to photograph :( It is much more exciting to go around the castle and take pictures and read the history in Wikipedia.

It is a place where we can get a train from Prague Smichov Station in less than an hour..
For the museum entry, I would recommend buying at the counter if you are not on a tight schedule because they offer a guided tour only.

There's a train station 20mins walk away that's connected to Prague (ticket costs around 3-4€ one-way). Multiple stores that sell Czech drinks and food, restaurants with Czech food are open nearby. There are guided tours in Czech and English that I recommend taking. They cost 260 CZK. Beautiful scenery all around, nice photo spots, interesting castle history. Worthwhile visit, perfect for a one-day get-away from Prague

Excellent guide in English. It’s just a shame the visit is divided into three separate tours you can’t book at the same time as you miss out on a lot of rooms.
I recommend you plan your visit ahead and try to book all three back to back.
The grounds are breathtaking and so is the view. It’s real easy to reach the castle via train from Prague (40min ride - a train every half hour + 15min walk).
Don’t miss out on the video in the movie room, by the toilet under the main courtyard. It gives a nice picture of how the castle came to be.

we had a bad and stressful experience. We visted the castle at 8. March at 3pm. the lady who led the Czech tour didn't let us join the English group even though we don't understand a word of Czech. of course, she didn't even try to speak to us in English or explain herself, so we stood for over 20 minutes like complete idiots and listened to something we didn't understand at all. after the friendly guide from the English group agreed to let us join her group, the person in question still insisted that we must stay in her group. she was terribly unpleasant and unkind and annoying. it is completely unclear to me why and what is the point of it, but the experience we had was very miserable. another thing is that until 1.may. over half of the castle is closed. including the most important part that remained closed to visitors when we were there. the ticket price was not adjusted for that, but we paid the full price as if we had seen everything, which I personally think is wrong. I wouldn't go back again

We went here to visit the castle with a tour guide. Make sure you're on time because they are really on time to start the tour. We were 5 min too late because of traffic and the group already left. It's a fun place to visit and really great to see how the people lived in the early days.
Make sure to buy tickets in advance and yes they really do check your tickets when you enter.

Absolutely GORGEOUS CASTLE! There are several tours for visiting different parts of the castle, tours are available in both Czech and English. Drinks and snacks are available there in the castle. You cannot do self guiding tours, which I don't blame them for, and it's quite nice! It's a good hard hike up the hill, I believe I saw rides available for purchase for those who can't physically make the climb

An iconic czech castle. We visited during late winter and had an amazing castle tour.

An amazing place to visit when you want a break from the crowds in Prague. An easy drive or train ride and up hill walk from the city - this medieval castle does not disappoint. Definitely worth the cost of the exclusive tour - I did not expect to see such amazing art and history up close. You are not allowed to take photos inside the castle but I will remember it for a long time. All this set next to a charming village and lovely countryside. Well worth the day trip.

An amazing castle just 1 hour from Prague. Photos just do this place justice. Def worth a visit.
A museum, rose garden & bronze statues honoring a namesake village destroyed in 1942.
If you love Prague, you should visit the Lidice Memorial, at least once in your life. It’s the tragic history of revenge, of the Nazi’s, after the assassination of Heidrich, in Prague. The Nazi’s decided to completely erase the village of the two brave Czech troupers. Men were killed, women deported, and the children were first deported and then killed. And the then the village was erased, asif it never had existed.

The history of this place feels me sad. I recommend you visit it yourself and find out why 😉. Overall, Great views to walk with family and children. Don't forget to bring water as your kids would ask for it along the way coz it's a vast piece of land to walk.

A very sad place. I have been here many times to pay respect. Lidice was destroyed by the Nazi’s during WWII after Reinhard Heydrich was killed (died from his wounds related to assassination attempt on his life in Prague). The Children of Lidice statue and memorial is one of the most powerful and sad statues in the world that I have come across. To think humans can kill children is just beyond words.
Michael Mack — Google review
Having briefly heard about the story of Lidice in an audiobook, I decided to take a morning solo trip out of Prague to check out the museum and memorial. I am so glad that I did. The museum is small, but very informative and powerful. Then taking a walk around the peaceful gardens and beautifully put together memorial, is incredibly moving. You can't help but connect with the little village that once existed there. More people should be aware of this story and visit this memorial. Not an easy morning learning about it, but very worthwhile.
Scott Fotheringham — Google review
Beautiful place with dramatic story. Indeed, the place of tragedy and the place of hope. And also it's a real kingdom of roses.
The Museum of Lidice is worthy to visit. To delve into the story of those innocent ones who were found guilty.
Besides, its a peaceful place with lake and vibe of silence.
Tetiana Yermolenko — Google review
A beautiful memorial.
Its a lovely tranquil place and the silence and what appears absence of the wildlife here, enhances the emotions that are felt.
My son left a teddy at the child's memorial, and there are candles and lanterns.
We didn't visit the museums but walked the friendship and peace gardens and through to the children of war memorial.
Dogs are welcome kept on a lead and there are plenty of bins but bring bags to keep the place clean.

Intense experience but absolutely worthwhile to make a visit. The memorial does honor to the horror that occurred here. The memorial is peaceful and expansive due to the large open space and walking trail that leads you through the grounds. Be prepared for some emotions.

A calm a peaceful park on the site of the original village. A historical "trail" allows you to imagine the atrocity that occurred here.

This shouldn’t be forgotten. This place is okay to visit to all age groups. The staff here is incredibly nice and kind and they really like to help. Most of them are children of mothers who returned from concentration camps. Also the set is here is great.. the toilets were clean and cafeteria offered normal prices. Thanks to all the staff who took care of us the whole day. I recommend this place to visit. Absolutely worth it.
We went here for a teambuilding with 20+ people for Fort Boyard. I knew this activity since childhood times (popular tv show). I was little bit worried if it will be worth it, but I can DEFENITLY RECCOMEND it for everyone (best teambuilding so far). Staff, premises, activities and bus driver which we have ordered were extremely nice and helpful. Thanks a lot, will come again for sure :)

Great experience, many challenging rooms, and each requiring little different set of skills. We had a lot of fun during competing the other teams. It was worth the travel to the quite detached location. Only issue was that we didn't fully understood the rules before the game and had to repeat the first room several times before understanding how to correctly initiate the game and how to finish. So learn all before not to loose time as the game is paid by play time. Recommended.

Terrible experience.
Went there with my family and most of the rooms were unbearable to stay in cause of the smell. Many things were broken or just not functional. Very expensive for a bad maintained attraction.
Ema Kozáková — Google review
Practically nothing was done properly. Some of the challenges where not properly maintained - red floor did not trigger the alarm, hitting the hole with the ball many times did not register it, you could unknowingly skip a checkpoint, successfully reach the end... but the system registered it as a failure. Some of the staff behaved like it was forced to be there. Food tasted funny, Birrel also tasted funny, had no foam (probably old). Could be a great place if someone cared.

Great place for a group activity or day trip from Prague. The whole venue is well organised and decorated. You can easily spend 4 hours here which makes it excellent value for money. The rooms are varied and challenging so there is something for all abilities and ages. There is also a small self-service cafe with cheap drinks and snacks.

-1 star because of insufficient ventilation - after about 3-4 hours of playing, some of the rooms were almost unbearable to stay in due to bad smell.
The earlier you start in the day the less of a problem this is.

Awesome experience of fun, team bonding, competition. We were 3 great friends and emerged victorious with one of the best game score, as even greater friends, we went all in with our skills and engagement.
The environment is awesome, huge and beautiful, the chambers are well balanced with skill areas such as patience, dexterity, power/Stamina and intelligence. Even though we would appreciate more endurance type of rooms, with moving obstacles etc., there was only one. But we probably had expectations because of Ninja Factor and the Boyard TV show.
I understand that this was constructed for wider public, so all could make it if they tried hard enough, not just for top physically skilled people, its not a TV show with many attendees and big prize.
Our team was also not fully satisfied with the higher price, either there could be +5 more rooms or so (now being 25 total) or lesser price. This way we were pushed to rush in order not to pay much, coz you pay for the time played. Otherwise we would slow down a bit more and had a feedback, celebration after each round.
All in all, great experience, totally worth it. Made our day!
