One of the best places to visit in this small town.
I loved the small hike to the place and the garden on the way. It’s beautiful.
The palace is worth visiting, well maintained & gives a great panoramic view of the city from the top of this palace.

A very nice view from a hills to the city Coburg. With fresh air and beautiful nature around it.
Ekyasa Mahardika — Google review
Absolutely stunning fortress! The views from the top are breathtaking and it’s amazing how well kept the fortress is. The walk up is a little taxing because it gets gradually higher, but it’s doable with breaks. There are benches here and there if you need to sit, but they’re not totally consistent in distances from each other. I believe there’s a bus to and from the fortress if you are disabled, but the walk is lovely if you are able-bodied. Definitely a must-see of Coburg!

We have never spent more than 5 hours in a castle as we did here. We went to the large parking lot for buses and other cars, which is 400 meters away on a hill and cost only 2 € for 24 hours.
The entrance fee was 9 € for adults. The staff there was more than nice to us. Very helpful and even willing to answer our questions. For two euros more we got an audio guide which was very helpful. Take a jacket because some rooms were a bit cold. In the summer you can walk down the hill outside of town and go for a walk or picnic. It is 100% worth the money and time. Plus there is a rich history from the past that is not easily forgotten. Kudos to the Veste Coburg. We will be back ...🎉🎉

the walk up is very nice through the park and you get to experience a lot. The castle itself is in really good condition and you can look at art up there too. The view is priceless and if you’re interested in architecture its definitely worth the visit!

Oh my goodness…. What an amazing place !! So full of history and in a very good shape. The view from up there is worth walking up all the way.
Try also the restaurant at the entrance to the Veste.

Really enjoyed this great collections and when we went there were more staff than visitors. Better to make it a one ticket for all areas. Also refreshments were all machine issued no other areas open but that was ok in the end.
Mark Prunty — Google review
Different level of experience. Vast historical collection to explore. Canons/Armor/Weapon rooms were just amazing.
Make sure to get the audioplayer from the front desk, as there are a lot of interesting stories to hear.

Good place for hiking but unfortunately I visited at close day. Want to visit again after they open.
Duck bill — Google review
It is huge and historic castle top on the hill.
It is difficult to take a picture of overall of castle in the short range, because it is really huge.
This castle is almost fortress in middle age. There are many historical displays of furniture weapons in middle age in this castle.From the castle, you can see the overall the town of Coburg.
It is best to come here by car. If you have no car, there are bus from the Coburg station and city center after noon. On the other hand, you can visit here by walk. It is like a little hard hiking.
Akira Rikitsu — Google review
A very nice fortress with a lot of history stories and heritage. It is one of the most important place in German history. Found out a lot of things about the old German Hohenzollern dynasty. The walk up to the place is through a nice park for about 30 minutes. The fortress inside building has many interesting architectural details and the museum was open in April until 17.00h.

A beautiful Gothic Fortress with an excellent collection of Canons, hunting weapons, and much more.
Goethe's House is a well-maintained former residence of the renowned German writer, showcasing pieces from his art collection and offering guided tours. The audio guide provided is informative and the story behind the house is captivating. The garden within the premises boasts a plethora of stunning flora making it an essential destination to visit not just in Weimar but in all of Germany. Goethe was a revered figure and his abode serves as a testimony to his legacy with its impressive art collection on display.
Amazing insights into the life of Goethe. Such a beautiful and inspiring space. Well presented and updated with video installations and the incredible wealth of the attached museum.

The Museum itself i love and would give 5 stars. The first time i visited, 5 stars all around. I love the history.
Second visit though, I was in Goethes carriage haus alone to calm down as i was crying. Before I got in the Museum, i got my tickets fine but going to the Audio guide desk, I wasnt sure what to ask for and the lady there gave me the nastiest shrug and look. It made me not know what to say so i just walked away. I didnt need an Audio guide anyway. But her expression really hurt me and i felt like a terrible person so when i got in the Museum i cried in Goethes carriage house to calm down. I then went through the Museum haus and saw my favorite parts, but the visit wasnt as long as the first time because of the sour attitude.
It really meloncholied my day Weimar.
I do love the Museum house because I study music history - particularly Mendelssohn, who met Goethe many times at this very house. I write books on music and currently doing a second edition of my Mendelssohn biography after having visited these places. I can be descriptive in my book about the look of the house and the rooms.
abigail smith — Google review
The place is very well-kept. The audioguide is really helpful and the story is very interesting. My favorite part of the house was the garden, it has so many beautiful flowers and plants! It's a must-see in Weimar and in Germany in general.
Daniela Logro?o — Google review
Νοt really interesting, the leaflet with the numbers of rooms did not correspond with the nrs on the audioguide. Few personal things of Goethe to see, only the Majolica collection was interesting, and his study and library, but the books were missing. The ticket too much expensive for such a poor place to see
Μαρια Σιουγγαρη — Google review
Although a lot has been altered and there is little about Goethe's work to be experienced, the private life and inner workings of his mind are still present and well presented. If you can, go now! Starting 2026 the place will face major renovations.
Konrad Keck — Google review
Visiting the house of the all-around wanna-be genius Goethe is definitely worth; travel back in time and walk through an old house to experience how the bourgeoisie rich poet lived; inspired by the ideals of the renaissance you can find a lot of real looking fake sculptures; obviously Goethe has been a collector or just a messy? The house has a beautiful garden in summer; audio guide in different language available
ephtron blackant — Google review
Beautiful residence of famous German poet Goethe. Pleased to know that this country has saved its heroes residence with a neat and clean environment and proper maintenance.
They also provide an audio guide to visitors therefore no need to ask someone about the place. The audio guide has all the information you want to know about the place.
Aamir Hussain Shahani — Google review
The entrance fee for adults is 13 euros. Included audio guide also a viable English.
In the house, there are several rooms where you can explore Gothe's life.
Also, there is a museum shop, cafe and garden.

Underwhelming after seeing Goethe’s museum in Frankfurt which was nicer in my opinion. Nice things to see but not a lot of information if you do not understand German fully. The garden in the back is beautiful.

If you came to see Weimar, you should definitely pay here a visit: The house of famous German writer, Wolfgang von Goethe. Totally worth the time. This man was a legendary, and in his home there is a collection of art works.
The zoo Leipzig is one of the oldest and most modern zoos in Europe. It boasts a large variety of animals from 850 different species, all in naturalistic habitats. In addition to its animal exhibits, the zoo has conservation programs to help protect endangered species.
The zoo was beyond my expectations! It is definitely one of the best things to do in Leipzig after the self ride boating experience. The zoo has all kinds of animals from bears, lions, monkeys, chimps, aquarium, giraffe, Zebra, Rhino, tropical rainforest experience to most of the well known and a few almost extinct animals one would want to see.
The ticket was 22 euros per person which is definitely worth the money. Plan to spend at least 4-5 hours in the zoo. If you are an animal enthusiast then you might need minimum 5-6 hours
Murugan muthukrishnan — Google review
Beautiful Zoo.
It was a rainy day. Perfect because it wasn too crowded.
Parking: The best place to park is in the parking garage directly opposite the entrance. Good and not too expensive.
Food: Everywhere in the zoo there is the possibility to eat and drink something. I can recommend the restaurant at the giraffe enclosure with a view of giraffes and zebras.
The large cafe is really big and tastes very good.
I recommend to take some water with you because the prices for food and drink are sometimes high
Mo — Google review
Definitely worthy of visiting. Don't regret the decision at all. The aquarium was wonderful. Saw most of the animals as we sticked to the route on map. The boat trip was out of the world experience and was worth 2 euros more. Overall a happy feeling to have visited here.
Sweta Thakur — Google review
Probably the best zoo in Europe. Since my first visit, they have been improving the older parts of the zoo and now it's almost fully renewed with modern enclosures.
It can be very crowded, even on workdays.
Themed areas are correct and well balanced, not looking too artificial or like a theme park.
Don't miss the pangolins at the underground floor of the elephant house ;)
Xavier Bayod — Google review
Leipzig Zoo has a decent variety of animals, and some exhibits were enjoyable. However, my experience was not so good as several animals were missing during my visit. Moreover, the food prices were very high and the overall atmosphere felt too crowded. Improvement in these areas would significantly enhance the visitor experience.
As per my experience the aquarium and Tropical world were amazing ....
Faisal Qayyum — Google review
Although a small number of animals could understandably not be seen in the outdoor enclosures due to the cold and snowy winter weather, the beautifully and creatively laid out zoo still contained a much wider variety of species to see than I had anticipated. A wholly enjoyable experience, even in 'off season'.

One of the best Zoos I have visited. Pretty big and lots of space for the animals. The amazon house is great. The aquarium was very crowded, i don’t think the corona traffic light ever goes on red

One forgets within 30 minutes that they are in the city or even in a zoo. If the visiting route is followed, you will have the most enjoyable trip. Gondwanaland must be visited both by walking and by boat. You can bring food and drink with you, there are enough suitable places. There is a great transportation and parking place, whether by car or by bus, train or tram. Right across the entrance door, you can also lock your bike next to the closed parking lot. In the zoo, which consists of 6 different concepts, you really live every part of it to the fullest. The most beautiful zoo I've ever seen. Especially in the tropical park, a boat tour should be done.
Joseph Hahn — Google review
I was incredibly impressed with this zoo. I’ve been to multiple zoos in North America and Australia and this one was the most impressive. I couldn’t get over how incredible the tropical building was, and just how BIG it was! The prices were also very reasonable, and food inside was not too overly expensive. I could easily have spent an entire day just exploring half of this wonderful zoo.
Maddy R — Google review
Fantastic! We were getting in very fast with our online tickets. It's better to print out. The whole zoo was great. Plenty extra attractions for kids too. Boat ride was amazing as well. We had a great time. Easily needed 6,5 hours. At the moment the Aquarium is closed due to renovation. We are definitely going to come back.
Eszter Moln?r — Google review
The layout and theming of this zoo is excellent and at times it felt more like a theme park (especially in Gondwanaland). Food prices and availability is good, even on a busy day, and the enclosures are far more creative than places like Berlin. Admittedly we did struggle to see some of the animals at times, particularly the monkeys who were hidden in their huge enclosures. I’ll definitely go back, though next time not on a public holiday.
Tom Beck — Google review
Our family spent the day at the Zoo! It was such a wonderful time! Walking through Gondwanaland was a highlight! Definitely recommend checking it out! :)
The only negative thing is, on crowded days, the pathways are so narrow that it makes for a bit of closterfobic experience (especially the path through Pongoland). Other than feeling packed in, we had a great time there!
Alex Lawrence — Google review
Nice Zoo Garden very accesibile, just a short walk from Center. I visited it a few years back and I liked it more then. Maybe now it has more fast food places and less animals, or maybe they were just hidden or taking a break. Plenty of space for animals, very natural environment and you have to be lucky to be in the right place and the right time to see the animals. I liked also the Amazonian place. Enjoyed Leipzig, clean and full of nice places to see. Good food and drinks. Zoo and parks are a big plus.
Adi Robescu — Google review
The Leipzig Zoo is truly an amazing place to visit. It’s not just big; it’s incredibly expansive, offering a wide variety of animal exhibits and attractions to explore. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast or just looking for a fun day out with family or friends, this zoo has something for everyone.
One piece of advice I’d like to share is that if you plan to visit more than once or think you might return in the future, it’s definitely worth considering an annual pass. Buying a yearly ticket can be more cost-effective than paying for admission on a per-day basis, especially if you want to take your time to fully enjoy everything the zoo has to offer. It’s a great way to support the zoo and ensure you can return whenever you please.

My highlight of the zoo is the tropical boat trip. Highly recommended, it's only 2€per person. You feel like you are in the tropical rainforest, and the sound of nature is unbelievable. There is a small tree bridge to walk above to see overall of this jungle. Also a nice restaurant for you to sit and relax and be with nature hearing birds and other animals. Other parts of the zoo are very nice too, especially the big restaurant where you can see the animals walking around you.
Warin — Google review
Leipzig Zoo wasn't just a zoo visit, it was a tropical escape! The meticulously landscaped tropical gardens transported me to rainforests teeming with life. The boat trip for 2 euros was an absolute must, offering a tranquil journey.
While food options were limited. Though I missed the vibrant world of parrots, the aquarium was a stunning spectacle.
Overall, Leipzig Zoo was a diverse and exciting adventure, especially for those who love the tropics. The tropical gardens were the star, offering a unique and immersive experience. Highly recommended!

The Leipzig Zoo is great.
There is a wide variety of animals from all over the world.
In addition to the animals, there are other attractions such as guided walks and children's games.
I was fascinated that the Zoo was divided into different regions of the world.
Leipzig Hauptbahnhof is a monstrous train station with over 300 meters of facade, and it's also home to a number of shops, cafes, and grocery markets. The station is one of the largest in the world by floor area, making it an ideal spot for shopping.
Leipzig Hauptbahnhof is a bustling transportation hub that seamlessly blends historic architecture with modern amenities. Its impressive design, efficient layout, and numerous shops and restaurants make it a convenient and enjoyable place to travel through. However, it can get quite busy at peak times, so be prepared for crowds. Overall, it's a well-maintained and functional station that serves as a gateway to Leipzig and beyond.

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

Very spacious, you get a variety of things, highly recommended.
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations in Probstheida neighbourhood is a huge temple of death commemorating the 1813 battle when Austrian, Russian, Swedish and Prussian forces came together to defeat Napoleon. The imposing memorial site features carvings, statues and inscriptions and reflects its reflection in the lake of tears.
Beautiful, but must take ~320 steps to reach to the top of the building, the path and steps can be narrow.
But you can get a good town view from the top.
Must visit landmark while you in Leipzig:)
We went on a weekend just right after opening at 10am- less crowded & peacefully explored, around 11-12pm we saw big crowd coming.

If you're in the area and interested in history - visit this one!
It cost me 10€ entry, and then I headed inside. There's a lift, but if you want to truly see everything, you cannot avoid the stairs. Overall there are about 500 of them, but as I combined lift with stairs, I climbed about 250, I guess.
The view from the top is nice, but the one from the Panorama Tower in the city is way better.
Flynn On Tour — Google review
I enjoyed this monument more than I thought I would. The big statues reminded me of ancient statues. The acoustics inside are pretty good. The whole experience is maze-like, going up the narrow stairways. The views at the top are great. Remember to get your ticket below, before you climb the stairs to the entrance.

One of the best places I have ever visited, so breathtaking and ancient. And the museum is so beautiful but the thing that's most beautiful about this place is the view from the top of the monument, absolutely otherworldly.
Sujata Dey — Google review
Very beautiful. Paying just €10 (€8 for students) you can go up to the very top of the monument climbing 500 steps in narrow spaces, the tiring way is totally worth it the view! Furthermore you can enter in the museum nearby and see ancient exhibits from the battle of nations.
Elena Pettirossi — Google review
I liked the museum very much. Leipzig is a must-see museum. It is a very impressive and explanatory museum. Germany's confrontation with its war history has been very effective. He should learn such lessons. I recommend it to anyone who visits Leipzig. It is a worth seeing place. The interior of the monument should definitely be visited. If you want to capture beautiful photo frames, I recommend you to visit it in the afternoon.
Clara Caster — Google review
Very peaceful to visit. It feels like a very secular monument to the Prussian people who endured Napoleon’s invasion. It take peace time to build such a monument. Unfortunately the peace time would not last with the start of World War 1 and the damage is from World War 2.
In the United States we are letting our World War 1 monuments crumble and allowing capitalism to take over our sense of duty. A concept most Americans can not grasp, but something Germans understand. This is a place of mourning but today it is a place to enjoy life with families.

I must say the monument was very impressive. Entrance was 10 euros with an extra 2 euros for the audio guide. I would recommend that you take the audio guide as it gives you so much more information. The audio guide is available in English. There are 350 plus steps to get to the top but the views of Leipzig are spectacular. The museum covers the battle itself. This is where the audio guide really does come into it's own. It gives a view from the people that lived in Leipzig at the time of the battle and explains some of the exhibits and the reason for the battle. We spent approximately 3 hours here and another 40 minutes at cafe at the other end of the monument
Stillapatmike — Google review
One of the representative symbol of Leipzig. The height is 91 meters and it is most biggest monument in the Europe.
The closer I got to it, the more overwhelmed I was by its size and impact.
You can enter inside of the monument by 10€ per person.
On the top of the monument, you can see the overview of Leipzig. It is really amazing.
There are total 500 step to the top viewing platform.On the other hand, the elevator is settled in the monument and you can access by 2/3 height of monument easily.
Last 50 steps of top floor is too narrow to pass through each other. Please take care and go up without haste.
(History of this monument)
This monument was constructed for Prussia and allied forces wining Napoleon's French army at Leipzig.
This war is one of the most important battles and histrionical turning point of finishing the domination of Germany by French empire.

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

We didn't get to go inside because of lack of time but it was really cool to see even from the outside. Something that looks so out of place in a European setting. Amazingly built. You do have to climb a bunch of stairs to go up to the main floors...for those who are physically disabled. But I think there is an elevator somewhere inside.
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.

Really lovely experience. Performances on the hour apart from 8pm (20.00).
There was quite a crowd for the 21.00 show so get there about 15 mins earlier.
Would recommend the after dark shows.

Nice place to visit. Every hour plays a different classic composition with exception from Nothing else matters by Metallica. The fountain changes water patterns according to music and it is made very tastefully. You can sit in a coffee shop nearby and enjoy the show.

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.

Nice fountain with a very beautiful spectacle every hour: light and water tricks with classic music in the background. Super recommended.

Great place to visit, it plays every even hour and each day the music is shuffled so any time you visit it is a chance to hear something new. Try slow-mo mode on your phone for great results to remember.

The Diana observation tower offers breathtaking views of the city and distant mountain ranges. It can be reached by funicular or hiking, and is well-worth the effort for those who want to get a sense of Karlovy Vary's stunning surroundings.
Great view over the Karlovy Vary valley. There is even elevator up and down 😲. Worth to walk there as the forest park around is really nice 👍.

Must to visit place in Karlovy Vary. You can walk all the way up or cheat and use very unique cable lift. I was cheating of course. There is a small fee to be paid and off you go. Observation tower is walking distance from the cable lift station and there is a restaurant with the butterfly farm next to it. Entry to the tower is free of charge and there are steps up and down or lift in the middle. From there you can see the whole town of Karlovy Vary.
Michal Valent — Google review
Absolutely stunning lookout. The lift was under maintenance apparently but i managed to climbed the 150 steps, it wasn’t that bad at all for average for healthy person. I went on Wednesday in November so there were no waiting times at all! Perfect! Went to their restaurant to refill the tummy, took some awesome photos in the beautiful autumn trees nearby. Worth it! If you dont visit here then you definitely do not officially explored karlovy vary town. Just make sure you take the right funicular/train, not the one in Imperial station as i made a mistake by going there.
Tried to buy funicular ticket online but couldn’t find the button on the website. Czech website kinda sucks most of them.

There is a restaurant and a souvenir shop next to it, and for the kids a small playground and a butterfly house.

This tower stands at a scenic viewpoint from which you can see the forests and the mountains and the town of Karlovy Vary nestled in the valley below. Many of the visitors to Karlovy Vary over the centuries have visited here, including Goethe. A funicular takes up to the top of the hill the. You can take an elevator free of charge to go to the summit, there are also pleasant paths and hikes through the surrounding woods. There is also a restaurent and small zoo with many cute little piggies 🐷.

Went up in Winter. Be prepared for cold weather with high winds but totally worth it for the view! Make sure to climb the tower on the top of the hill as it is free and gives you a 360 degree view of Karlovy Vary and the surrounding countryside.

You can get there by lift or stairs. It has a spectacular 360° view of Karlovy Vary and surrounding areas. A must visit if you have a few hours! You can hike up from Karlovy Vary or take the lift car. From there you can hike down and enjoy nature.

It was one of the nicest towers I've visited in the EU. 150 wide steps, all uniform construction, too, plus they are completely enclosed.
I like the signs telling you what is in the distance from each section of the lookout area. There's an elevator as well. I imagine maintenance funds come from the cable car fees (which were reasonable) from Karlovy Vary, just behind the famous Grandhotel Pupp.

Good observation point over old Karlovy Vary. It is reachable by feet over mild steep tracks over the hill or the one can purchase a ticket for a small up hill rope driven train. Observation tower has a lift and stairs, of course. For our great surprise - lift was free of charge.

Karlovy Vary's most famous hot spring is Vridelní kolonáda, which has a geyser that can spurt out up to 2000 litres per minute. There are also four other springs inside the building, which visitors can sample for free. This tourist attraction is a popular spot in Karlovy Vary, with many people coming to soak in the thermal water and see the geyser.
A different scene in the city where the springs are inside a building.
Shachar Pinkas — Google review
Overall i'd give this place five stars if the tour wasn't so short and quite boring. The massive indoor spring was super cool. The water that you could drink was hot and had minerals. (I preferably don't like it) And the people there spoke many languages and were quite nice. 👍

Nice place to hide especially when there is a rainy day. There are 3 thermals springs, the hottest in the area (72 Celsius) and the coolest (30 Celsius).
There are some souvenirs shops, a toilet (10 kronen per person) and a couple of relaxing chairs.
Also there is a coffee shop and if you want to sit and rest your feet for a while you can sit on the marble near the windows; it is warm.

I have been visiting the hot spring colonnade for many years and over the years it changed a lot and also some aspects didn't change at all. They always sold items here, like mineral water drinking cups, petrified roses, porcelain, and glass. Now there are a high number of stands with cheap Chinese stuff. The entire atmosphere was not pleasant and I got dirty feel from it. The colonnade used to be light, with clean glass and a lot of plants inside. There is no entrance fee and the colonnade closes at 6pm.

Have been several times now and always enjoy it.
Get amongst it, buy your little water sipper and then have some fun tasting all the different springs.
There are 15 in total, all with varying flavours and temperatures.
Find a good parking spot close enough to walk, toilets will all cost you 10kc.
Lots of Russians here and plenty of rich people as well.

Our first "major" stop during our road trip back to Lithuania from Germany. We did not expect anything special, since it is winter period after all, how ever we ended up being surprisingly pleased. We have never been in Czech Republic before and so, we thought it is a good idea to take a peak inside of it as we drove back. And to be honest, it surely has its ups and downs. For example, the nature is really beautiful regardless of the fact that it is winter. But that is not what I am writing about. This natural spring fountain got us surprised. In the morning we just saw a large cloud of vapor coming out from the river and we went to investigate it. And then we saw that fountain, which occasionally spurs out some vapor. It was my personal first time encountering this type of a sight. However, it was not as spectacular as some may describe. But overall, a decent sightsee to see if you end up in Czech.

To most people it is an unique experience to visit the town and taste different types of spring water. These spring waters can be helpful to your health and will show effect after drinking continuously for 4 to 6 weeks. The place attracts many rich people all over the world each year from spring to autumn. It has many top class 5 star hotels. The most famous hotel is the Grand Hotel Pupp. It has been appeared in one of the James Bond movie.

The Zwinger museum features a carillon, porcelain collection and exhibits on historic scientific instruments. The palace is also home to three museums - one dedicated to classical music, one with exhibits on art and history, and the last focused on natural sciences.
The Zwinger is a really beautiful place housing a really nice museum that contains statues and art. It is definitely one of the places you simply cannot miss in Dresden.
Doge Colony — Google review
The Zwinger complex is incomprehensible until you’ve visited! You have no idea how grand it is until you’re there. We visited the grounds and the Old Masters Picture Gallery. Even though the grounds are getting worked on, the architecture is impressive enough to appreciate its grandeur. We really enjoyed the gallery as well.

Unfortunately, during our visit, the courtyard was being renovated - with the entire thing having been dug up. The buildings are still impressive and the architecture is interesting. It's a huge building with multiply attractions. The place is a combination of a baroque palace, museums, an art gallery, a park, a terrace, with fountains, stairs sculptures.
A beautiful place to discover, learn and relax.. An absolute must see in Dresden!

The Fürstenzug (Prince's Procession) is a large porcelain mural in Dresden, Germany. It tells the history of Saxon rulers throughout the ages.

I cannot put it into words how interesting it was, especially if somebody plays some nice music in the background.
It's also located at the heart of Dresden with very easy accessibility to a lot of restaurants and Frauenkirche.
It'd be great to take a walk in the area every morning and have a headstart every day.

The fact that something this impressive just casually exists in the center of Dresden is just incredible. Fürstenzug is absolutely a must-visit in this city - luckily, you don’t have to travel out of your way to see it. It is located right in the center of town, near many other famous sights in the city. If you visit in wintertime (like I did), you’ll find half a dozen Christmas markets within 5-10 minutes walking distance from Fürstenzug. It is an amazingly intricate and beautiful mural that puts pretty much any others I’ve ever seen to shame! Check this out next time you’re in Dresden - you will be amazed!

As a woman who recently had the opportunity to admire the "Procession of the Princes" mural, I must say that it was an unforgettable experience. This stunning work of art, stretching over an impressive 102 meters, masterfully captures the history and grandeur of the Saxon rulers. The intricate details and vivid colors of the porcelain tiles create an awe-inspiring visual journey through the centuries. Standing before this magnificent piece, I felt deeply connected to the past and gained a newfound appreciation for the craftsmanship and artistic talent that went into creating such a monumental masterpiece. The "Procession of the Princes" is undoubtedly a must-see for anyone interested in the rich cultural heritage of Saxony.
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 monument was originally built in 1790, during the reign of Emperor Josef II (who did not live to see it completed) as a fortress (a system of three fortresses that protected Prague). It was never built as a concentration camp and never served as such. During the Second World War, the fortress was used as a prison by the Prague Gestapo and thus became famous. From the first moment, if you have already visited one of the former concentration camps, you can see that it is rather a milder and "nice" place compared to the camps. Of course, I don't mean to downplay the brutality that took place here. I recommend buying at least a paper guide, there is a map on the ticket, but it is easier to go according to the numbers in ascending order. After visiting the small fortress, be sure to visit the city of Terezín and the large fortress that served as a Jewish ghetto + cafes and a hospital

My father and I did this the trip out to the concentration camp and the experience itself was quite eye opening just trying to place yourself in the shoes of what the people went though during this time. It was a humbling experience to say the least. The families lost, children that grew up never knowing their mothers and fathers as well as how the jews in particular were treated. The fact that this was allowed to happen and that people can do this is still something that is beyond me. A must do day trip if in Prague
Pravčická Archway, a stunning natural sandstone formation, is a popular scenic site that requires a 5km uphill walk from the paid parking or bus stop. The entrance fee is around 4 EUR and credit cards are accepted. The area offers good amenities and breathtaking views, making it perfect for a sunny day excursion. However, it may not be ideal during windy or rainy weather due to its exposed location.
Very beautiful place, even in winter time, quite easy to reach even for kids. Absolutely amazing view and very interesting geological case, plus you can get a coffee right under the gate. A small gallery, where you can find impressive photos of the place in different seasons of the year is worth of visiting too.

Long uphill walk of about 5km to get there from the paid parking or bus stop. Good condition needed. About 4 EUR to get in (credit card accepted). Good amenities. Still somewhat reasonable prices. Don't buy sugary drinks; the wasps will enjoy it ... You probably not. Stunning views around, so allow for over half an hour once inside to get to each of them and enjoy the view. Great for a sunny day. Likely not for windy days with rain, as the views are really out in the open.
Erwin Kerstens — Google review
An excellent spot for some walking! The place offers a beautiful nature and the building itself is also interesting. Plus there is a lot of small paths on the top of the hill so a person spends some time there. The entrance ticket to the top of the hill and actually the building costs about 100 Kč so it's more like symbolic price and I gladly paid it to keep the place in a good shape.
If there is normally some restaurant at the place, it was closed. Instead of that, there was a food window outside with the some snacks, but also with warm meals. I appreciated that, since the weather outside was still cold at time of my visit and it was very handy to eat something warm. Another thing that I appreciated was that the menu was both in Czech and German, as the majority of tourists speak at least one of these two languages.
It's real shame that the national park burned down from a big part in the previous year. Fingers crossed that the nature and the trees regenerates over the next few years.

It was a 1.5h hike for me, but the view was totally worth it!! Very unfortunate that some parts of the forest got burnt some time ago, but the arch and the rest of the view were breathtaking. Highly recommended :) the ticket was 80czk for adults and 40czk for students (show isic) They closed at 4pm. The restaurant up there was very reasonably priced as well surprisingly, considering that the place is very touristic and very high up on the hills

Impressive hike to do specially during the winter. Being reward with the largest natural arch in Europe is certainly worthy the difficulty to park at the beginning of the hike.
The whole hike was pretty stepped to do but nothing extraordinary.
There's a Restaurant at the top, on a very nice building but it closes too soon during winter time, so we couldn't get something to eat. What makes sense because it's pretty difficult to come down at nightfall.
The arch itself is pretty beautiful to see and I advise to go to the highest viewpoint to have a good sight not only of the arch but also of the amazing landscape surrounding you.

If you are anywhere nearby (even Germany or Poland) I definitely recommend u stop by or you can plan your whole trip around it. Definitely worth it. You can make a whole day hiking day out of it or just stop by for 2 hours. It is not wheelchair accessible and if you do not like walking uphill this is definitely not for you.

Best to leave early from the parking and have time to continue the hike to other parts of the national park.

Although parking is 3.5km away, most of the climb up is beautiful with stunning landscapes. At the end is the arch, more lookouts, cafe and an amazing old building.
There is a charge to enter the top part.

This is a very beautiful getaway from Prague / Dresden. Not much visited, because there is very little information abou how to reach there etc. I drove to the base and looked for the shortest walk. My tip: drive to parking Soutěsky. This is almost the last parking before start of the trail. Try driving further and you may save another 500 mtrs. of walking if you find a parking spot on the one of the last parking. All parking have same price of Euro 8.
Total walk from this parking is about 6 Km of which you walk about 2 Km along the highway as there are no parkings directly at the start of trail. . Walk is quiet easy and surrounded by beautiful terrain.
Take plenty of water with you on a sunny day, there are no water streams on the way and you can only buy a refill at the destination. The area was under fire some years ago, so expect no shade.
Plan a day, the place is really beautiful and the walking up alone takes easily about 2 Hrs or more unless you are fighting fit.

What a beautiful place. Totally worth the effort and the entrance fee of 4 €.
Food and drinks were also great.
A big thank you to the owner of the restaurant for rescuing my phone from the edge of the cliff without excepting any money <3

Beautiful hike with some of the most scenic nature in Czech! The hike up and back took about 1.5 hours, not including stopping to take photos and grabbing a snack at the top (there is a small restaurant).
As of April 2022, a wildfire devastated the area, but as of April 2023, the top remains largely untouched.

The walk to the top was intense, but maybe that's because it was 33 degrees in full sun and we already walked and climbed for 10km before we started this specific trail.
We parked our car at Na Hájenkách (Indiánská vesnička Rosehill) where there is a small free parking place.
Then, we walked to Mezní Můstek and went right, to Divoká Soutěska and bought a ticket for the boat through the river, which took about 18 minutes. During the boat tour, the tour guide will explain things in a humorous way regarding the river area.
Then we walked to Mezná, which is a rather intense continuous climb, and continued to Tři Prameny, the starting point for the trail to Pravčicka Brána.
Its advisable to bring plenty of water in these temperatures and bring sun protection. Our total hike was 12km and took about 4 hours, including breaks. We consumed 2,5L of water each.
When we got back the crossroad Tři Prameny, we took bus line 441 back to our parking spot in Na Hájenkách. To our surprise, the ride was for free!

We visited as part of a hiking tour. The walk up is moderately demanding but the last section would certainly challenge anyone with mobility issues.
It is a long steady climb through a valley of trees devastated by fires in the last few years. As such it feels beautiful but slightly bleak, at least until the end where you climb the steep steps and slopes up to the chateau. Sited alongside the Archway, the chalet style hostelry offers refreshments and toilets. Seating areas overlook the beautiful scenery below and a very short path under the arch exposes you to a breathtaking view from the edge. Another short climb takes you to a viewpoint looking across the arch, much used in postcards and the like.
The walk back down is a bit hard on the knees for those of us of a certain age, but feels easy after the climb up. The weather was good when we visited but I can imagine a strategic inclusion of layers and waterproofs is in order at other times.
A lovely and rewarding hike

Lunch with a view! 🤩 A lovely hike brings you to this beautiful place for stunning views and lunch with a view. I had the fried cheese with fries and coleslaw plus a coke. Can’t comment on price as I’m unsure of the exchange rate but it was a stunning view, fantastic service and overall really enjoyable day.

Wonderful experience, takes an hour or two from Hrensko. 3 Km from Hrensko to the starting point of the trail, then 2 Km hike.
If you come from Germany you can cross the border on a ferry from Schöna to Hrensko. (DB ticket works on it)
You can also experience the aftermath of wildfires last year.
Liberec Zoo is an impressive zoo that features rare-species breeding programs and exciting activities such as sea lion and penguin feeding times, as well as elephant training. The star attraction of this zoo is its special white tigers, which are definitely worth seeing if you're in town. Although the animals have rooms that may seem smaller than expected, it's important to remember that this is still a zoo. Visitors can easily spend two hours exploring the various exhibits on display.
Lovely zoo with many interesting animals. The Entry fee is really low. Can recommend planning to visit again this year
Pavel Plšek — Google review
We visited this zoo with our 2 kids. The entrance price is very affordable (€5,- for adults) and the zoo itself looks nice with lots of trees.
Many cages are kinda small for the animals and needs renovation.
There are 2 play ereas for the kids. Both are fun and looks neat.

Very nice zoo with special white tigers - the main attraction. Definitely worth visiting while in town. You can spend there like 2 hours. The cats seems to have a smaller rooms that I would expected. That’s actually similar for all animals here - you would think they should have more space but yeah, it’s a zoo 🤷🏼♂️ there is only one restaurant and one cafe so when visiting during weekend the line was ridiculous.

Smaller than other Czech zoos, but you can still spent few enjoyable hours there. It seems more oriented to families with little kids since there are multiple playgrounds spread throughout the zoo.

This is the oldest zoo in Czech republic, and it shows. It's not big like some other zoos, so you can see it all in 2-3 hours. The location is beautiful, with hillside paths, natural stream and the lake. The animals are well kept, even though during the winter many of them are confined to small enclosures or even absent at all.
Roman Kovbasjuk — Google review
The only reason I am giving 3 stars is the fact that animals are in horrible small cages and pens. Animals are looking bored and sad. Specially elephants, which are the most smart and sensitive mammals , I seen the same elephants in the same small yard even after 13 years that's the time when I visited zoo last time. They are still there at same small place, looking very sad, why you don't swipe their yard after few years with some other animal? Just to keep their mind busy, to explore and to be happy ? I have seen 1 elephant repeatly doing one move with head and front legs which is sympton of nervosity and psychical problems . Other one was lions and tigers behind the glass, no grass no space to run or jump on the trees . Yes it's nice to see them, so you keep them on eyes, but behind a glass and such a small place ? We will understand if we don't see them, just let them be more free . They have no privacy no relax just stress . Monkey at photo was also pretty bored, I think if he got some hay or some bedding will be more soft and fun for him to play in it.
Zoo also looked kinda dirty in yards with animals, and stinky a lot more like in other's zoo's. Otherwise I like that zoo, there is a lot of things for kids to do, a lot of animals but I feel sorry for small yards .
Martina Bajusova — Google review
When we first found out about the zoo, we didn't expect much from it, since the ticket prices were really low (6€ for adults, 5€ for students!!).
BUT WE WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!!! This Zoo is large, we spent 2 ½ hours here and were running out of time by the end!
Very very very nice place, it has so many animals and the terrain and location are really nice. Most of the animals are kept in relatively animal friendly enclosures, there were many baby animals, showing that the animals living there are content.
There are several smaller and bigger playgrounds for children to enjoy, most of the zoo is wheelchair and stroller accessible.
Staff is very friendly, even though they do not really speak foreign languages, they will try their best to communicate. I loved it!
Only thing I wished for were more languages on the signs explaining the animals, they were only in Czech but I don't blame them. The animal names were written also in English, German, and another language I can't remember right now.
Overall great experience, I had a truly wonderful day!!!
Czocha Castle is a 13th-century castle that has been transformed into a dramatic hotel, offering classic rooms and free breakfast. With over 125 rooms, the castle hosts numerous events and provides a rustic yet charming ambiance. The friendly staff and on-site market add to the overall atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy a tasty restaurant, cafe, and even sample honey mead. The castle's beautiful location offers great views and a medieval vibe inside.
Outstanding medival castle. Great interior and view and nice sightseeing. There is a hotel in castle so you can have a rest before your next trip. It's said on the web site that there are night tours but haven't found the date when it is.

Absolutely in love with this place! It’s way out of the busy city life. If you are a person that loves to explore nature and the woods, walking through hidden path, then this is definitely the place for you! I walked with my dog for hours exploring so many little paths in the woods near the river and we weren’t even closed to seeing everything! Highly recommend

This castle is a larpers paradise! With over 125 rooms, I imagine they host a lot of events. We loved the compound and loved that you could stay the night at the castle. It’s a little rustic but that’s part of the charm that make this authentic and interesting. The overall ambiance was fantastic. Everyone was helpful and friendly, and there was a market on site as well that added to the ambiance. There is a tasty restaurant and a cafe on site. We were introduced to the honey mead, which was quite nice. Also the castle beer is a must try - very smooth with hints of citrus. Wish I had brought some home with me.

Fantastic place. A good day if you are in the vicinity. They serve okay food and have really nice rooms. The castle is well kept and renovated. It's a treat to see all the rooms and if you're lucky you can see some of the secret passages behind the secret Doors 😯 and if you have enough money you can rent the whole castle, which is very cool 😯

Great castle. But there is a big "but". Only guided tours allowed and you see not that much of the famous castle. The tour is very long (over 1h) for what you see, not available in English. First room - 15min talk. The tour guide closes with advertising restaurant and whatnot. I don't pay for advertising. Given we drove 1h to get there I find it was not worth it.

If you are not a polish speaker, just forget about visiting the castle. Only guided tours are possible, and you will be "welcomed" by a very unpleasant man that will make you clearly understand that only polish is spoken there.

As a hotel it should disappear as *** hotel - it’s just not what people are expecting when they’re here. Quality and cleanliness don’t exist.
In regards to castle as a museum - it has stopped in time 30 years ago. Staff is unfriendly and rude, besides instead of doing job which were paid for - they preferred discussing political choices. It’s disgusting and disappointing to have staff trying to control or convince people who came to visit a castle to specific political orientation.
Sorry it’s a red flag.

One of the most interesting castles I’ve been so far. It’s so beautiful, exteriors and interiors, there were some secret doors I found when I was there🤪🤪🤪Spent the night in the castle felt exciting yet scary at the same time when you went for the night tour visit with awesome way of storytelling from the staff. The atmosphere was indescribable, you can see it for yourselves, I highly recommend the night tour guide for this castle and you can thank me later 😉 but one thing I would change is that there’s English version of the story so it would be even more fascinating for me 🥰🥰🥰

Just sightseeing, not staying overnight. So much history and still to be discovered, must-see if a mystery fan. Discoveries happening as we speak. Worth to visit again after a while. It is a beautiful place and definitely worth visiting however, not equipped to handle so many tourists (toilets).
12th-century church, constructed similarly to Viking longships & moved to this site in 1842.
Historical landmark worth visiting, the square holds a few things to look at and the church is worth visiting inside where a tour is given and information about its origin. It is not free and it costs 2 PLN to walk around the square alone or 10 PLN to also enter the church. The tickets can be bought at the shop near the gate entrance.

The best Norse church you can see in Poland! Formerly a church in Norway from early middle ages moved to Karpacz and built again in 19th century. The area is very nice, although packed with tourists and entrance to church is paid. However the adjacent cemetery is really nice and the sights from the hill to the valley and mountains too. A must see when visiting Karpacz.

Very nice old wooden church, originally from 12th century Norway, transplanted to Poland, lovely old details remain, cozy ambiance, comfortable place for quiet reflection. The grounds offer a little bit more to see and ponder, one or two memorials, an old graveyard and an excellent panoramic view. Good visit.
Nature reserve with a group of imposing sandstone rock formations for tours & rock climbers.
Absolutely worth visiting. The Rocks are beautiful and the paths are clearly marked and mostly easily accessible even for inexperienced visitors. You can use a paid parking nearby. There are some eateries, gift shops and a free WC at the entrance.
It will take you 15-30 min to go around the lake and 1-1.5h to go the main route (of course depends on your pace).

Książ Castle, the largest castle in Lower Silesia, is a grand chateau-style complex situated on a hill overlooking the river Pelcznica and part of the Waldenberg mountains. Originally built in 1288 and expanded in the 16th century, it showcases Gothic, Baroque, and Rococo architectural styles. The castle offers guided tours with informative audioguides that seamlessly lead visitors through its rich history and art gallery.
This is a lovely castle, with a lot of history. Much of the interiors are unadorned compared to what they were, but the setting is stunning. It feels like stepping back in time, especially in the fall. There are paths to walk the grounds and access from the road is simple and scenic.

This is a beautiful castle with a lot of history. When you go in and purchase the ticket they give you several options one with the tour of the Underground included and I would recommend going that route as the tour underground is also very good. They will give you an audio guide that will walk you through the whole castle and give you the history and events that transpired through the years. The tour takes about the proximately 2 hours to complete with the audio guide and I like the way they set up their audio guide as you can skip ahead to something that interests you a little bit more which is a nice touch. The audio guide is location based. There is so much to see here and what I especially liked was the turn of the century pictures of everyday life. Some of the places in have amazing views of the surrounding Countryside and of the Immaculate Gardens. The gardens around the castle are just beautiful unfortunately the day I was there it was raining.

Castle Ksiaz... there are a lot of things which I can write here about this castle. But surely it is just impossible to tell all interesting things about this castle here.... it is much better to open Wiki or other sources and read, there is a lot of interesting information including medieval history, Hitler's "golden trains" and many others. Or you must come, take an audio guide (included into entrance fee) and see & listen.... there are a lot of very interesting stories, there are many unsolved secrets even now. Enjoy the castle, the subterranean, the magical terraces...

The price of the ticket is worth paying. Huge area to see. They gave an audio guide that automatically switches while you changing different halls. The audio guide is available in a few foreign languages. Parking is overpriced: next to Castle the price is 30 pln, further - 20 pln. And when you enter the castle there is a toilet with an entrance fee - 5 pln, which in my humble opinion should be included in the price of the ticket. Overall it is a great place to spend a day with a family or loved ones.

We just visited the castle from outside as we didn't have enough time to go for a tour. There's an individual or combined ticket for castle, palm house and the undergrounds. Car parking is not free after the security guard, unless you're visiting the castle hotel. You can park it in the open parking space before the security guard for free. There is an ice cream shop near the castle which is a necessity in hot summers. Not sure if there's any restaurant though. There's a small vertical sprinkler through which you can go to refresh yourself in hot weather. You can visit Viewpoint too, which is a small walk type trek for 15 minutes. There's a fresh corn stick seller, each for 8 PLN. You can bring park stuff (mats, food, play items etc) also for relaxation. There are a lot of gardens and you can sit anywhere. The place is definitely worth a day trip.

I didn't enjoyed a lot the castle interiors, but from the outside it's probably the most beautiful castle I've ever seen. At the moment they have a very interesting photo exebition of the last chef.

A self-paced tour of the castle was amazing! I was lucky to visit right before the Christmas decorations were going to be taken down, so it was twice the awe and pleasure.
Everything is so nicely organised, with the cheerful staff meeting you at the ticket desk, and then - second surpise with the Polish museums on this trip - a cloakroom employee kindly offering me a Ukrainian audio guide. Great thanks to the Castle team!
The exhibitions are a wonderful combination of the family history of the castle owners, of the Polish and world history impacting Ksiąz and its residents, and some terrific works of art.
It is also very efficient to have a "smaller tour" and a "broader tour with the family stories", so that you can choose what to listen to, also in terms of time available.
I listen to everything and loved it.
I learned a lot about the underground of Ksiąz and visited the Palm Garden 5-min drive away from the Castle (included in the ticket), with a huge collection of plants.

I recommend to visit underground with ww2 interesting history, too.
We were there on Saturday and it wasn't crowded so much.

We Visited Ksiaz Castle in Mid of May, a very enjoyable and memorable trip. It’s really a Beautiful Castle 🏰❤️
As, I am from Pakistan 🇵🇰 we don’t have such Castle so visiting this place for me was exceptional experience. 😊
Szczeliniec Wielki, located in the Table Mountains, offers a thrilling hiking experience with its intricate rock formations and well-maintained trails. The peak provides breathtaking views and is accessible to hikers of varying fitness levels. Visitors can explore the labyrinthine Skalne Grzyby or Bledne Skaly formations and enjoy the stunning scenery from various viewpoints along the way.
Highly recommended to visit here with kids. Tickets can be booked online to avoid the queue. Preferred on Weekdays if it is summer.

Breathtaking views! Wear tracking boots, water, some food. Walking to the top is about 20-40 min, depends on your physical condition. I was there in about 12:30 PM and there were some groups of people. Not too crowded. Back road is easy.

What a wonderful adventure going into the labyrinth of this place. A journey through the cracks and crevices of the rocks that form these flat topped mountains. Huge descents and steep rises, yet doable for all ages.

There are many nice hiking trails in Stołowe mountains. This is the most crowdy, popular and probably interesting one. Mostly because great view platforms. Easy to climb and walk. 2 hours in total.

If you’re looking for a super good hike and an incredible view from the highest point of the Table Mountains, Szczeliniec is the place to go. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting this intense of a hike when my friend’s grandmother took us on a visit to Poland (but, to be fair, I’m also pretty out of shape). Within the first five minutes, I thought I was dying and the remaining hike up to the peak was a blur.
Once you recover physically, and scrape up the last remains of your dignity after having a 70+ year old who climbs this trail once a week he’ll drag you up the last 100 or so metres, the view is 100% worthwhile. You overlook the Czech Republic, and Stołowe National Park. There’s also a little chalet up there, where you can grab a drink and snack before making the (much, much easier) descent back to the base.

Kłodzko Fortress, constructed during the mid-17th century under Austrian rule, is the largest and most well-preserved fortification of its kind in Poland. The fortress covers 17 hectares and boasts walls that measure up to 11m thick in some areas. It has a rich history and offers visitors underground tunnels, night tours, historical re-enactments, and cannon displays.
Interesting place for 1h walk. Parking 4 zl/h at entrance or free around. Amazing how massive walls were hundreds years ago.

A really interesting place to visit. Tour guides are well prepared and knowledgeable. The only drawback is small quantities of artifacts from history but this is not the fault of the place. Basically all weapons and available stuff were reused for more modern weapons during 1st and 2nd WW or stolen by Germans or Russians. Definitely worth a visit.

The Wrocław Africarium is a large zoological garden and oceanarium that contains exhibits of over 1,000 different animals from Africa. It is one of the oldest working zoos in Poland, and open all year round. The zoo also has an exhibit devoted to the flora and fauna of the Dark Continent, which are unique on an international scale.
A excellent place to spend with your family; The kids loved it; Various animals and everything is so near, you think you can touch the animals by hand; the Zoo is arranged very cleverly and the numerous signs everywhere help you find everything conviniently and enjoy your visit; The price is not cheap - but it is worth the money;

A part of Wrocław ZOO (you can go in on a regular ZOO ticket). It's really worth it. There are tunnels inside aquariums, hippos, seals and free birds flying around. Mind you it's meant to mimic African climate so it's hot and humid inside. If I were to complain about something it's that the modern building doesn't really fit the historical buildings in the rest of the ZOO

Huge zoo and well worth the money spent for a ticket. Lots of animals and facilities, the flora was also very impressive. You can spend a whole day there.

Our visit to the Wroclaw Africarium with my family was an unforgettable experience filled with wonder and excitement.
The highlight was undoubtedly the breathtaking underwater tunnel, where we were surrounded by graceful sharks and colorful fish, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Felipe Almeida — Google review
The overall planning is good. There are some facilities to assist children and drinking water. Although some enclosures are empty or under renovation, it does not affect the knowledge about animals conveyed here, and it can be seen that the animals are well taken care of. I really like the pavilion of cold-blooded animals and mimicry, but it was a pity that it closed too early and I couldn't finish it.

This is a must-see spot for people travelling to Wrocław with their family. The transportation by tram is easy from the city center. The building is right by the ZOO’s entrance. It houses all kinds of fish, mammals, birds and reptiles. There is a large seal and pinguin sanctuary. The restaurant resembles a passenger ship and offers a nice top view to see the penguins. It can get crowded on weekends. It is definetely worth checking out. Kids love it!!!!

We've spent literally hours there and I would gladly spend even more time.

The Africarium in Wrocław adds another layer of excitement to the city's zoo experience!
This specialized section immerses visitors in the wonders of African aquatic life. With a separate admission fee, it's a unique opportunity to explore marine ecosystems showcasing African flora and fauna. The interactive exhibits, informative displays, and vibrant marine life contribute to an educational and visually stunning journey.
Whether you're fascinated by underwater worlds or simply seeking a captivating extension to your zoo visit, the Africarium is a must-see attraction in Wrocław.

A bit crowded, best part of Wroclaw Zoo without this one probably I would count the visit as mistake. All water attractions looks a bit dirty - don’t know if it’s a matter of water or dirty glass. Should be addressed by Staff as it breaks animal experience for everyone. Under aquarium tunnel and under water windows makes great experience - zoo should somehow control amount of people- crowds all over this attraction makes difficult any movement around.

Very clean ZOO with great aquarium. I really appreciated the cleanliness of the water and glass. The part where you can sit and just relax is a great idea. Though not sure how it will be during busy times. Definitely will recommend everyone to visit. For sure, nothing is perfect, but I left with 5 star feeling. Haven't eaten there.

Some places of the zoo are really nice and animals look well taken care of, but we were disappointed with the monkeys. They were all stressed, angry or depressed looking, and that building where there is one old chimpanzee sitting behind bars on a bathroom like floor is really sad. Looks like zoos from the 60s or something. This Zoo definitely needs more reconstructions and enrichment for animals. Please don't let those poor monkeys suffer.

It's such a huge zoo that it took me 4 hours to get around it completely...I highly recommend going on Friday to see the wolves before 12:00 noon! Because we were not warned and didn't see them there. You should also get your tickets online because there are long lines.

Definitely the best zoo I have ever visted, the size of this location is massive meaning that there is a lot to visit and see. It's one tram away from the center of the city and takes you directly to the front entrance.
There is an entering free but definitely worth the visit. As many of my photos suggest there was a lot to take in, and even then I was only able to see half the zoo leaving the other half for my next visit.

A lovely day at the zoo.
Lots to navigate and a delicious finale at the bistro.
It seems most animal are well cared for, with the exception of some with small areas to roam. The birds seem distressed and unhappy and I think the monkeys are plotting a coup to overthrow the management staff.
Otherwise, a lovely experience.

This zoo is beautiful and big. There is English posting for names and much information in Polish that can be translated with Lens. The ice cream was delicious and very clean place.

Even better zoo than I imagined. You can see the animals really close. It's really modern, clean, and has beautiful waterfalls and an overall vibe. We went on a rainy day, so there were almost no other visitors besides me and my girlfriend, which made it feel like a private tour. We were there for at least 2.5 hours and still didn't see everything that the zoo had to offer.

Really pleasant and well laid out zoo. There is a wide variety of animals here and it's well worth a visit.
Ostrava Zoo is home to over 3000 animals, featuring a variety of species such as bears and elephants. The zoo also boasts a petting area and playgrounds for kids. Educational posters and activities line the trails, providing visitors with an enriching experience. The enclosures appear to prioritize the welfare of the animals, although some may benefit from more space. Visitors can purchase food and drinks at various small shops throughout the zoo's expansive grounds.
Fantastic place for spending few Hours during weekend. Great variety of animals in beautifully arranged displays and green areas. Playgrounds and shaded areas are giving a break time during sightseeing. Some restaurants and snack bars (expensive). Greatly recommend for families.

Nice zoo with a lot of animals and trees and a very big place to explore. The only bad thing was that they didn't answer to the phone and we couldn't see some animals because the zoo was under construction and they didn't say that in the entrance...Except from that the zoo was super and love the red panda's.
El — Google review
The zoo was nice and the animals were beautiful. The 3 stars rating comes more from the fact that there is a lot to walk but not a lot to see.
More importantly the enclosures for the more exotic animals were quite small and some of the animals were just alone. Like the lioness, the lion and a leopard.... All alone in small enclosures, apart from the lion who had a bit more space but still alone.
This caused them to be quite stressed in my opinion as they were pacing non-stop.
Overall great for kids first zoo experience but an adult will pick up on these not so great things.

By the opinions I've read I would think it's a very friendly zoo for animals; that theirs cages are big and spacious, well kept and tidy. Tbh I was quite disappointed with what I saw and would not visit it anymore. Nice way to spend time but if you care at least a bit about animals it's not a place you would sponsor.
Tickets are cheap, there are some coffee shops and a restaurant in there, lots of WC and an extra paid, short safari route by one of the runs.

It is a nice zoo to visit but it is quite small. Couldn't find some animals that were supposed to be rhere. I think due to some maintenance of their areas. Food places are not that great and it's a terribly long wait time before we were served (40min) u Pandy.

This zoo is huge, we spent 5 hours here. So much greenery, most of the time it felt as if walking in a forrest. Loved the red pandas. Would definitely recommend to visit.
Lots of playgrounds for the kids, benches and water fountains everywhere. There are also lots of zoo maps along the pathways.
You can save some time at the cashier by buying online tickets - they will scan the at the gate.
Bus 104 goes to the zoo from the center, very easy to get there also by car, they have a large parking lot (i think it is paid).

A nice day out at the zoo with 3 kids and a baby, somewhat spoilt by the bad weather (not the zoo's fault) but the rude staff in the ticket office and the ones flying around the paths in the electric buggies (when there are small kids about).
Still we enjoyed seeing what we could and some of the animals were really exciting for the kids
Also felt you were a lot closer to them, in places, with bamboo poles used instead of perspex glass

Great place to visit: either with kids, the whole family or just by yourself. Plenty to see and to explore . One day it's not enough and I will definitely come back to see some stuff I was not able to check on my day of the visit. Apart from all the exotic animals and environment there is a playground for kids to have some fun and plenty of places to sit down and rest too. A lot of shops with food and drinks around the whole zoo. If you have never been here and you are around it is worth your time. Generally great place !

What an amazing zoo! We went in the snow and it was so beautiful. It was like we hired it for the day ourselves. Lots of amazing animals that we didn't expect to see such as hippos and leopards. Some great play areas for the kids and some food and drinks stalls and vending machines dotted around the area. The hot chocolate in the machine by the entrance was also delicious. 10/10!
Great price and a great day out!
Joe — Google review
It’s hard to go wrong with a zoo in kids’ minds. Is this one the biggest, coolest one you’ll go to? No, but my six-year-old daughter enjoyed it.
Since we went on a Thursday morning in August during peak season, admission was higher than other months. It cost 260 CZK for both of us to go. Not a bad price for a potentially all-day outing.
The zoo is spread out either long trails that go through woods. That means you’ll walk for minutes without seeing any animals.
The animals themselves are organized around houses where you can walk inside to see them or venture outside since the cages expand to the outside in most cases. They have monkeys, hippos, giraffes, birds, fish, and all the other usual suspects.
Where they stand out are the play areas throughout the zoo with the biggest playground being near the entrance.
There are enough restrooms and snack areas.
Austin Graff — Google review
In my view "garden with animals" would convey the experience which you get. Take the picking package and you will experience even more.
Brilliant spot for the whole day with friends or family. If you desire time for yourself you will also find parts of the garden quiet and private.

We went from Poland to Ostrava Zoo and it was really so nice pig parking and you not wait long to get the tickets for enter .. inside they give you map for the zoo and it’s help you because the zoo it’s really big…you will found many places for rest and for WC and they some restoring if you want eat or drink something… there’s places for kids they can play …the only thing they need to add more animals ..but was really nice day
In addition to roaming deer & bison, this striking open-air zoo features raptor & owl shows.

The park is beautifully situated on a mountain slope, roe deer wandering freely, which you can feed and wonderful views - these are the advantages. Cons - tickets are definitely too expensive for this type of attractions, no markings, and the plan received at the entrance is not legible, the playground remembers the previous era and should be restored. Alley of fairy tales - a nightmare that you don't want to dream of. Definitely not suitable for the elderly and handicapped people and for prams.

Nice cheap day out for the family, two flying displays, owls and other birds of prey. Lots of animals running wild in the park, goats, deer and alpacas.

Great experience with my family even on a rainy day. The birds of pray show was breathtaking and the beautiful forrest animals we saw were already worth the ticket price. Additionally, the stuffed animal and antlers display was very informative and you can touch. Did not expect to see the racoons. :-) Other than that the carousels were dismantled in winter and the fairytale display a bit dated, but it gave us a laugh. We used up the whole bag of the feed purchased at the gate feeding some hungry deers.
Warning: To get there you have to hike up along unpaved road, or find a parking spot, which due to the building site works are limited.
Pro tip: Hotel Diament two streets below is a delicious gourmet spot for lunch/dinner afterwards.

Great place for family, not a place for trolley. flying events are on the clock, but both were at least 10min late.

It's a really great place to visit and experience wild animals from a close distance. Most of the time it is overrun with millions of children, but this is worth visiting even for adults.
The only thing I really did not like was the birds chained closely to be presented to viewers. Personally for me it was a sad view not entertaining. But the rest looks OK and animals seem to have a lot of space to roam around.

It's not too long to go through, along you can meet animals walking around the place freely. They even allow you to buy some food to give it to them along the way.
The highlight is definitely the bird show, where you get to see how they feed and train their eagles and other birds.

a great place to spend time with your loved ones. the possibility of communing with animals of our Polish forests. animals have already become accustomed to visitors and, above all, to children. the part with birds and the show of flying predators deserve attention. for PLN 32 per person, you can spend a nice day. When choosing a place, remember a few important things: good, comfortable shoes, because walking is a lot steep and rocky. if you are going with small children do not take the pram. downside is the waiting time at the checkout. the owner should take care of more bandwidth. I highly recommend this place.
Nikiszowiec, a famous area with a rich history, is renowned for its redbrick flats. These were constructed as part of an organized housing estate for laborers and include green spaces, commercial centers, and educational establishments. The St. Anne's Church features ornate domes made of tiles and a grand pipe organ in baroque style. Furthermore, the Industrial Ethnography Museum showcases replica mining lodgings from Katowice.

Jasna Góra monastery in Poland is a renowned spiritual site that was established by the Paulite order from Hungary in 1382. The hill on which it stands, Jasna Gora, is considered as the country's spiritual capital. It houses several remarkable sacred artworks apart from the celebrated Icon of the Black Madonna of Czestochowa. Pilgrims visit this shrine to witness miracles attributed to this painting in Lady Chapel, although there are other notable attractions too.
Beautiful place, I love it. The services are very often and also in different languages. Car park by the road next to monastery costs 7.2 zł (1.5£) per 3 hours. You can also eat very good food not far from the monastery. We ate at Kredens and food was delicious. It is 3 min walk from main monastery gate.

The sanctuary of Jasna Góra is a meeting place for Christians of a large part of Europe. It does not matter which time it is, it is always crowded. The sanctuary and the church are beautiful, and the guided visit is very instructive. Anything you would like to know will be answered by them. It is near the centre of Częstochowa, and is located in the most beautiful area of the city, being the sanctuary the highlight of it. A compulsory visit if you go to Częstochowa.

The Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp is one of the most notorious sites of the Holocaust. It contains displays of gas chambers, and remains almost completely intact. It is essential to visit both Auschwitz I and Birkenau in order to truly understand the horror of the place.

Walking around the camp just shows what man can do to fellow man. The suffering and death on an industrial scale.
The museum does well to preserve the past so we don't forget.
There is a lot of walking involved so plan ahead especially if you take a guided tour as they move quickly but do give you lots of information about the camp and the people who went through the gates, many for the last time.

I am giving five stars mainly due to the fact that many people and organisations have taken concrete steps to ensure people don't forget what happened here during WWII. This place is a reminder of the darkest side of human nature, to torture and kill another human for the heck of it..
I would recommend this visit to everyone, and to soak in the history that took place not so long ago.

It feels wrong to mark your experience as "loved it" for such a somber trip. It is however a trip everyone should make at least once in their life. Soon people who survived this horror will not be among us. It's important we remember and never let something like that happen again.

Probably one of the most badly organised tourist destinations in the world !
Always wanted to visit but was very disappointed, the complete cluster fxxk of the main entry, the inability to secure private tickets in advance via a official site, this resulted in almost 45 min to wait in a outdoor line until we could get to the ticket office and then another 2 hour wait until our time slot to actually get through the gate.
I'd gladly pay €5-10 for advance tickets if I could get a guaranteed time to get in when I arrive.
Once in there was no real flow or direction of what to see or what order to see it in. The official map was about as much use as sand in a desert, honestly a 5 year old could have drawn a better plan.
Inside large tour groups dominated all the various things to see and we were often barged out of the way or unable to pass them while they blocked doors or things to see.
My impression of the place has been ruined by visiting it and then when coming out, they don't even have clear signage where to get public transport back or a covered bus stop.
The urban planner / architect who designed the new entrance and coach part obviously never tried visiting as a tourist.

Easy to reach from Krakow, it deserves at least three hours of visit including the near Birkenau camp. Exhibitions are very well organized and documented. I'd have preferred to be alone in the visit, but I appreciated very much the guided tour lead by Lukasz Celta.

Impactful. This is the only way I'd describe this experience. Walking through this place will simultaneously send chills down your spine, and cause you to reflect a bit. Would highly recommend, but not for the faint of heart.

Very detailed tour, thank you Cristof. Very heartbreaking to learn of the humiliation, pain and suffering before being murdered by the sick and evil Germans involved. What they did after death was appalling and my heart bleeds for the victims.

Very informative, expect to take a whole day if you are walking both sides. Camp 1 (museum) has everything you need to know written, but for camp2 it’s best with guided tour or research before hand.

Incredibly somber and emotional experience. Seeing the scale of what happened here is overwhelming.
We visited on a nice sunny day, but I couldn’t help but feel what the conditions must have felt like for those held within the camp during the harsh polish winters.
A must see for anyone to remind us of what happened and try to ensure it can never happen again.

A huge museum, which is being restored to this day and is still being preserved. Book the tour in advance because you can get alone and for free only after 15:00. We got a very nice girl guide, it was very interesting and pleasant to listen to.
We visited both camps, the total tour took about 4 hours. This place is very atmospheric, creepy. It is obligatory for everyone to visit, you need to know and not forget the history so that there are no more such things.

Powerful to say the least!
This was part of my bucket list of places to visit and WOW it did not disappoint. Moving does not do this place justice, understanding what the Jews, gypsies and other minorities went through during the Second World War, you can watch as many documentaries as you like but actually walking in their footsteps really does bring it home…..Unforgettable
The Orava Castle is a restored 13th century hilltop fortress and museum that has withstood battles and fires throughout its history. Its striking appearance, nestled in the midst of forested hills, has been immortalized on film as the setting for Murnau's Nosferatu.
Beautiful castle from the 13th century with an amazing view of the surroundings. We took the tour and were amazed by what we saw: Each room was complete with furnishings, and one could get a very good idea of what was life was like during the time the castle was inhabited. There are also several museum exhibits, from local clothes to movies filmed at the castle. I visit a lot of castles in many countries, and this one is by far one of the best I've visited.
The castle is easily accessible and parking is not a problem. There are several paid parking lots in the immediate area. The traffic can be a lot tough at times, especially during peak hours. There are also several souvenir shops in the area, and the prices were quite reasonable.

Lovely castle perched next to the river and on a small hill. Great artifacts on display and well mapped out for the visitors. From the top there are great views all around. Stop in for an hour or so it is well worth the time.

Visited by the chance on our way, interesting place , there is an app to download with the possibility to have explanations in your language. We took the Big tour including all the areas for 33.5 euro (2 adults+2 kids), would recommend to take this if you are already getting inside and navigate with the app.
Irit Fetshenko — Google review
Tickets are sold 5 minutes away from the castle down the hill. You are forced to buy a “tour” just to enter the grounds (there is no actual tour).
The “small tour” for 7 euro only gets you entry into the inner courtyard.
“Basic tour” lets you enter the actual castle on the lower level.
And “big tour” lets you go to the top.
Once again, there aren’t actually any tours, just signs showing where you can and can’t go, and a staff member by each door constantly checking your tickets to see if you are allowed into this room or not.
They are truly trying to milk every cent.

A picturesque but massive fortress. Truly special. Remember to buy tickets in the village, at the foot of the hill! Very interesting exhibitions both about the history of the castle and the lifestyle. Download the app for a free audio guide.

Hard to describe in words. The castle is really huge, and full of things to see. It's placed on a rocky hill, and it has several expositions inside (archeological museum, natural history museum, etc). It will take you a few hours to visit and you'll have a great time doing so, very recommendable! There's an audio guide you can install as an app, so you can look around while listening, which is awesome. Adding a ton of pics to the review so you can get a taste

Didn't go inside the castle, just stopped for some drone shots. The castle though looked beautiful from the outside. Few parking lots nearby. Need to walk up the castle.

I really enjoyed my visit here. If you dont want to take a guided tour then the app is a very useful tool to use, as you go round you can use the app to talk to you, or you can read the description.
There are 3 different tours depending on how much of the castle you want to visit, and there are about 800 steps in total, so be prepared for some climbing!

I came on a Friday late morning in June and was so surprised by how few tourists. How lucky for me--the weather was perfect, too. I bought the "big tour" for 16 Euro (including photo-taking) and it was a nice experience. I recommend that you download the audio guide--there is so much to learn about this fascinating, well-maintained historical site.
Some of the signage is confusing. Also, a note of caution: even if you pay the extra 3 Euro to take photos, there are still places where you are prohibited.
There are a lot of people working here, but they seem to be more concerned about checking your type of ticket and monitoring you like you're going to do something wrong, than actually helping you. However, I will say that the woman who works in the armory exhibit was the highlight of my visit. She was SO kind and friendly, I could hardly believe it! I don't speak Slovak but I used Czech, and she didn't mind at all (unlike most everyone else in town who seems to be offended by this). She and I talked and talked, and she even gave me advice about a folklore festival in Podbiel, as well as about the Dracula film.
I'm giving 5 stars because of this lovely woman who really made me feel welcome!

Awesome castle, I recommend to reserve at least 2 hours to visit. Guided tour, which takes you to the highest part of the castle is totally worth it.
It can be challenging for some people to go all the way up by the stairs, but if you can manage a short walk in the hills, you can manage this without problems.
You need to book your tickets in advance for a specific time, couple of days in advance is enough.

Fantastic. Amazing. Interesting. Breathtaking. Awesome.
Fully recommend this wonderful castle. Easy to climb; each floor reveals some new wonder and a chance to prepare for the next flight of stairs!
The views from the top are mind-blowing!
I cannot recommend this attraction strongly enough. Enjoy!
Abby Beverley — Google review
An amazing castle. Beautiful, historic, memorable. A must for castle lovers.
Not as much solid information as you’d like and despite everything being called ‘tour’ it just means you can access certain areas. Some reconstruction so some parts closed now (highest parts).
We had to wait five minutes in certain areas as guides took a huge group of 50+ people up single stairways at a time. Poor planning.

Absolutely gorgeous medieval caste with authentic chambers and breathtaking views on the surrounding mountains and villages. No actual organized tours and times to enter: The tickets sold 5 mins walk from the castle and one can select from the 3 options. One can then enter at any time after ticket is purchised. Paid parking lot is available nearby the castle for 7 euros / car.

A must see. Beautifully renovated buildings and arranged museum rooms.
Energylandia is a large amusement park located in Zator, Poland, featuring an impressive array of 17 roller coasters and various water rides. The park offers thrilling experiences for visitors of all ages, with some rides designed to scare even the bravest souls. In addition to the adrenaline-pumping attractions, there are also opportunities to meet storybook characters and enjoy entertaining drift shows. The park's vast territory allows for ongoing expansion and the addition of new attractions.
World class theme park. Elite rollercoasters, staff operations were unreal, in a good way.
Place is super clean and tidy. Plus it's great value for money. Highly, highly recommended.

Phenomenal! Visited a week before Christmas for two days, the park was covered in snow, the rides were excellent, the food delicious, the decorations outstanding, the mood fabulous, Santa was waiting to be met every day! Free trains coming and going to train station, to Western Camp Resort (which was yet another great experience). There were no lines to any rides whatsoever. We didn't even have to get off the ride to ride it again. What else would you want! :)

What a great place to visit with teenagers, they will enjoy every moment of it! There are queues for the rides, but the waiting time wasn't too long, 20-30 minutes max (we went in September, it was busy but better than holidays time).
There are nice restaurants, good food, delicious ice creams, and lovely drinks.
It's definitely worth a visit if you are in Poland.

There were 8 of us, 4 adults and kids - 8-15 y.o. (from 122 sm).
So, each could find something according to his/her interests.
We were lucky because it wasn't too crowded.
It was an amazing day, unforgettable.
Buy the way we've bought tickets in advance on black Friday. Actually, you can always find some discounts.
Arriving on opening 10 a.m. is highly recommended.

The BEST thing to do in Europe! I went on a Mon/Tue in October and the park was decently empty. We were able to ride every ride with almost no waiting time. There are 17 roller coasters here, and besides Viking, they were good! Hyperion and Zadra were amazing! I highly recommend this to everyone. Though the water park was closed at this time of year, it looked great (from the Ferris wheel) as well. With cheap Ryan Air tickets, this park is a must.

This park is amazing, it has attractions for all ages. We have been there for the whole day and I still feel that I need to go again to be sure we tried everything and for sure, we will go again. It was really fun and when we visited it, we didn't wait in big lines so we had the opportunity to enjoy everything.

Place where you get more than expected. 17 roller coasters!!!
5 of them is that everyone will get scared.
2 of them is super crazy.
And you can't understand - are you scared or you need it one more time.
And a drift show in the middle of all this!!
The territory is huge and new attractions are being built.
Meny places to have lunch.
When we were there, the queues were not long, otherwise it would be tiring.
You can bring your own food and drinks, that's also a plus.
We will definitely be back!!

If you want an American quality theme park in Europe, look no further than Energylandia. The sheer quantity and quality of rides blew me away.
The entire theme park is clean and well managed, with some of the most welcoming hosts I’ve ever come across.
Don’t bother bringing a packed lunch with you, the food is reasonably priced and some of the best quality and quantity I’ve ever experienced in a theme park (even those in the States).
Already planning our return

Definitely worth the price if you are in the vicinity. There are lots of attractions and rollercoasters (some of them soak you in water, so be careful), the queues were quite reasonable, when I visited, though this might not apply to weekends and school breaks. I recommend spending at least 4-5 hours here, so you can check out everything you want. The rollercoasters are really well made, the Hyperion is a must in my opinion (if you like fast rollercoasters of course). Would visit again.

Absolutely amazing in the off season, barely any queues, really lovely and clean park. The different parts are great. Just a shame the water park was shut. Worth a go, got the bus there and back... be aware they don't wait around when shipping you on a massive drop!
Jacob Leonard — Google review
It's the best park so far of all i visited around the world.
Attractions are new and fresh staff is friendly. And almost no waiting in lane for the entire stay.
It's worth to mention park's design. You will see no line jumping because it's literally impossible. Lock mechanism is genius you just live your bag on the entrance, then you ride and pick it on the other side. You do not have to remember where you left your items because interactive dashboard will tell you everything. Also lanes design is amazing if you want to ride in first seats there is a dedicated lane just for that.
Logistics are also amazing. You have various ways to get to the park including small carts that will deliver you to the park free of charge.
Prices are good in comparison with other parks. Food is also good. There is a big variety both inside and outside of the park.
Animation is great. Park has some quite good shows which you should visit to have rest from rollercoaster. It's just amazing experience and wonderful time.
I spent about 85 EUR for tickets to the park for 1 day. And another 45 EUR for the food and we didn't really limit ourselves. Regular meal without drinks 10-12 EUR per person.
Of course there is some room for improvement. For example prices are a little high but still they are the most adequate comparing to the other parks. Cinema experience is not too good and feels kinda outdated if you visited 4dx cinema.
Part-restored 13th-century fortress with a museum, exhibition gallery in the dungeon, bar & dining.
This is an extraordinary and beautiful castle, straight out of a fairy tale. It has been sensitively preserved, creating good access without spoiling the character or atmosphere, though it's not really suitable for people with mobility problems or who find stairs difficult. Stunning views across miles of countryside can be had from the walls, and there is a bar serving coffee and hot mulled wine.
Julian Griffiths — Google review
Definitely place to visit. Very interesting castle ruins, well maintained. The path can be challenging if you have mobility issues as the staircases are quite narrow and steep and there are few places where steps were carved in rock and can be slippery. But if you are ok with that I recommend to climb the tower and enjoy the walk around this piece of history.

An interesting decent fortress with ruined parts. It is definitely WORTH VISITING. From aside there is a piece of rock. But as you get inside - a plenty of space+towers.

Beautiful old castle.
Good place to spend weekend with the family to see around.
But the only problem is there was no a proper public toilet. Which people really need in this kind of touristic place. The council or whoever responsible for this castle should consider to think about build a proper public toilet because the current toilet is really really bad..
Not to mention that you pay a ticket for entering this castle, so at least the customer will get something better not only the view/entertainment of the castle but also the public toilet must be clean and nice.

Its nice, but honestly i am used to something different in Italy. Around the castle there is an amusement park, sort of, and tons of little shops and grills. It's nice because i ate there, but i think it would be so much better to improve the experience if it was more natural. Now its just a normal touristic attraction. Still nice inside

It was great experience to visit this castle 🏰. Takes you back to medieval times especially after watching witcher it makes you visualize more about the older times. The surroundings of the castle are great and you can have nice relaxed time there. If you are coming back or going to Krakow then you can visit this beautiful castle on the way aswell and this castle is also part of the castle trail in Poland in this region.

I arrived a bit before 10 on Sunday morning. It was pretty quiet which was nice. The setting is really nice. The nature is just as good as the castle! The castle is huge and the views are amazing. There's tons of stuff to do for kids aside from visiting the castle. And, there are plenty of vendors if you want food/ drinks or souvenirs.
By the time I left it was getting quite busy. If crowds aren't your thing then go early.
