The Bock Casemates are an extensive network of underground tunnels and galleries that were constructed in 1644 as a part of the Fortress of Luxembourg. The fortress was built on the Bock promontory, which was chosen for its strategic location offering natural protection. Over the centuries, it was reinforced and attacked multiple times, and at its peak time showcased numerous forts across three fortified rings.
really cool and beautiful historic sight! i’m not big into walking but i really loved climbing and seeing everything. unfortunately the tours are closed unless you visit in the summer but i would absolutely come back to see inside. highly recommend and a must see even if you’re spending a short time in luxembourg! 🏰

It is a neat place to explore. If you have children, they will really enjoy the tunnels and it is pretty safe as well. The entrance says 45 minute time limit, but not sure how it is enforced. However, that much time is enough to see it all though.
You don’t really need to buy tickets in advance if you go midweek.

A great place to explore and lovely views. Would have liked some more information on certain parts but the leaflet was adequate. Nice to freely walk around at your leisure.
Rachael Flood — Google review
The Mother Nature give them advantages to have such a rocky place and situated exactly in the Center of the city. If you are a tourist and do not have a guide and plus you don’t speak French then it will be difficult to room around and find the spots you are looking for.
The city doesn’t offer free internet or there are some spots but very low signal so you have to have your own internet. There are less signs showing ways how to access the Touristik spots , so make sure to really pre plan all the steps of your trip on your own

Cool historic place to discover and stroll through on your own. Great views over Grund. Price seems very fair (8€). A few more signs and informative texts would have helped.

Fun stop with lots of history! Sold out online for days, but tickets were available for an entrance in an hour. Busy, but they do a good job of keeping the casements not overly busy. Don't miss the side route near the exit that goes under the road. Spiral stairs carved into the rock to the left of the steps up to the exit. It is a lot of steps...you've been warned! Down and then back up.

Very lovely and impressive views of the valley from the walls at the top and from the lookout points throughout. There is fascinating and multi layered history in the landmark, having served as a fortress for hundreds of years
Katherine Kelly — Google review
Very beautiful and unusual. Be sure to visit the casemates, but do not go down the spiral stone staircase if you have poor physical fitness 😁. When you joyfully reach its end deep below, you will understand that the way out goes along the same steep endless steps, only up 😄. It was a great adventure

This is a World Heritage Site.
Luxembourg's old quarters and fortifications. The city itself was founded in 963 and has played a significant role in European history throughout the centuries.
We came during winter so weren't able to visit the tunnels but we were able to walk around the top parts and get some amazing views of the city.
This is a must if you are in Luxembourg.

The view is indeed beautiful and also a good place to get your excellent photos as well. The paid city tour bus starts from this point. Also this will be always quite crowded as it is a famous place to get that balcony view.

The place can be reached easily from Luxembourg station, it will drop you to the exact location, where you can easily roam around by foot & explore, click pictures etc. It has an ancient setup with information which you can read and understand. I believe you will need approx 2 to 3 hours to cover upstairs, downstairs and around if you want to cover completely and not rush but relax. When we went there the weather was a bit foggy and cold plus we had to catch our bus for Saarland within 2 hours so we rushed and did not cover full location. But I still enjoyed. Since it was November month, there were Christmas market also which all families were enjoying. Overall beautiful place with no public transport cost so worth visiting.

Cons: frankly speaking, the walk itself is long and …not as interesting as I thought.

I want to say that I live for 3 years in Luxembourg and only by mistake I discovered that we can visit the galleries.❤️🥰👏 The entrance is actually hidden underneath the little tower from Montee du Clausen (Casemates Memorial Point).
The experience was quite unique. The galeries are layered (I think) on two levels. The views over the city are special and magnificent (although in my case it was raining 🌧), because the viewpoints are unique🏞🏤. I loved also the light 💡efects inside the casemates. They give a special (modern and old) touch to the visit. You can also see these light efects 🪩 from Grund during the night 🌌.
The only thing that confused me a little bit was the fact that there were no signs ↗️(or a map) 🗺 to show the direction ➡️ of the visit, so I got a little bit lost 😆😁. There were galleries that i've seen twice. I estimate that, the duration of the visit 🕑 can vary between 30-45 minutes.
For me, the casemates are special and unique. I would love to see them again without any hesitation. ❤️🥰🤩

Great historical place. It's a must visit in Luxembourg. It is a huge underground complex built in 1644 and was used as a bomb shelter during WWII. It's huge and amazing. Lots of beautiful viewpoints. You need a minimum of an hour to explore the place. There is one section that is not mentioned in the booklet, it can be accessed through the stairs from the iron gate room. This section was really impressive and showed the depth of it. Going through each section and understanding the history behind it was fascinating. I recommend buying tickets in advance. Tickets can be bought at the ticket counter as well but they either sell out soon or you have to wait for your time slot. Another thing is it's a bit difficult to locate the entrance/ticket counter. Do carry a water bottle.
The Liège-Guillemins railway station is a contemporary transportation hub and modern concourse, created by the renowned architect Santiago Calatrava. The station features an impressive vaulted roof made of steel and glass, showcasing a blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal. It has become a prominent attraction in Liege, serving as the starting point for many travelers exploring the city.
Well maintained train station with a colourful, huge roof that you would not stop looking at. The staff at the station office is very very friendly and helpful. We missed our train due to the delay of another train. The lady booked us another train route for the next day along with our to and from ticket to Leuven. Very much satisfied with the services provided.

The station platform elevators and escalators were both out of order. Many strollers and passengers carrying large luggage had to carry them by themselves, which was very inconvenient. And without any obvious notices or alternative measures, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Beautiful building unfortunately it's form over function. There is no cover for wind and very little seated waiting space.
Also the people around the station are quite dodgy
Vincent — Google review
Beautiful station, but kind of overrated. A pretty long queue at the ticket machines (the ones that worked).
A very pleasant interior design. A not as amazing exterior, probably due to the white paint becoming dirty over time.
Worth a visit if you're nearby, but not worth the travel solely to see it.
Overall, recommended.

Fabulous design, have been through here a few times on my way to Bruxelles, Kortrijk and south to the Ardennes.
Nice shops on the bottom floor, 3 coffee shops, but missing a General store for travellers.
Has a mezzanine level that is completely derelict, pity, would have been a great addition to the railway station and added something to it's usefulness.

AVOID long waits at night.
It's full of homeless people. Everything is closed, dark, kinda scary for a MODERN train station.
It is completely open; so it's cold everywhere.
If you arrive late or need to have a long wait, there's a savior place close called TGV taverne (open 24hours)

Vianden Castle is a hilltop fortress that was erected between the 11th and 14th centuries. It presently houses exhibits on medieval history. Its unique design is the result of extensive restoration efforts in the 20th century, following its complete destruction. Visitors can explore different historical periods, from Roman times to the present day, through walkways on lower levels. The open-air Byzantine Hall and Gothic polygonal chapel with a central well are notable features of this castle.
Nice place for a one day trip. You can easily get there by car and park for free in front of the castle or park in the town near the river and get there by the lift. It costs 7.50€ for both ways and 5 for a one way ticket. The castle is easily manageable for 1 hour and one can get an audio guide for a low price.

Petting the castle’s chickens absolutely made my day. The chickens are so calm and friendly. The castle is interesting and we were all done within 2 hours. The cafe has a selection of pastries, drinks, and soup. We had soup, ice cream and eclair. There is a free toilet at the entrance and a bigger free restroom upstairs in the castle. There was plenty of parking when we arrived at 10am on a Saturday. It filled up when we left around 12:30pm. It costs 1€/hour and you walk strenuously uphill about 5 minutes to get to the castle. Card is accepted at the kiosk farther back in the parking lot. Press the white button on the kiosk for how many hours you want (press multiple times for more hours), then press the green button, and then hold your card up to pay. It was tricky to use.

This castle is one of our favorites! The town is lovely and the castle is well restored. You can see some of the older foundations and several of the rooms are staged as they would have been when the castle was in use. The tour flies will and there are so many great views. A must-see in Luxembourg!

This castle is beautiful. You will see a lot of history there. When you buy tickets don’t forget to pay 2€ for audio guide. They give a map of the castle with point of interest and you just follow the map. It took two hours for us to make the whole journey. I highly recommend to visit the castle for everyone.

Vianden Castle is a medieval fortress located in Vianden, Luxembourg. The Castle is located at an elevated hill visible to the road. It stands majestically overlooking the picturesque town of Vianden and the Our River. Te castle offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The location is very easy to find, and so is parking and entrance. Inside you may buy tickets, and also seek assistant of a tour guide or audio tour subject to relevant charges. Inside of it are the models, plans and diagram of the Castle in different ages.
The castle has a rich history dating back over a thousand years and showcases a blend of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. It's one of the largest and most well-preserved castles in Luxembourg, attracting visitors from around the world to explore its impressive battlements, towers, and inner courtyards.

A well preserved castle. Good views and well maintained.
What i did not like, the audio guide was not loud enough in hallways, - app would have been a wiser choice
If you have a stroller, be sure you get well trained in you gym before the visit.
Many interesting parts were barricaded, and no one could access.
The view from far away - outside was stunning.

So super impressed by this place. The castle itself has been lovingly restored, the market stalls and the entertainment were an unexpected surprise.

This is a must see in every trip to Luxembourg. The castle is in great condition and it has great infrastructure. Unlike Larochette, you must pay for parking (it was 2 euros for 3 hours) and visit to the castle (10 euros per adult). It was worth it! The visit took around an hour and we had a snack in the castle’s restaurant. The prices there was fair and the food was delicious. Every room of the castle is worth visiting. Even the tavern can be visited. Great visit through and through.

Visiting the castle in Vianden was an unforgettable experience for me. The castle is one of the most beautiful and largest monuments of Romanesque-Gothic architecture in Europe. It was built on the site of a former Roman watchtower, and for centuries was the seat of the Dukes of Vianden and the Nassau family. The castle has many interesting halls and rooms that can be explored on your own or with an audio guide. I admired, among others a Byzantine gallery, a banquet hall with tapestries, a bedroom and a banquet room with a fireplace. On the information boards you can learn many interesting facts about the history of the castle and its inhabitants. The castle was restored in the 1970s and is now open to the public.
Visiting the castle was not only a history lesson, but also an opportunity to admire the beautiful views of the town of Vianden and the Our River valley. From the castle terrace you can see picturesque landscapes, charming houses and the church of St. Trinity. You can also use the cable car that connects the castle with the city centre. It's a great way to see the area from a different perspective.
Vianden Castle is a place I recommend to anyone who likes history, architecture and beautiful nature. It's the perfect place to spend a few hours or the whole day. I am very pleased with my visit and will definitely return.

We spent about 3 hours exploring the castle/palace, taking photos, soaking up the history, reading all interpretive signs and watching the fabulous movie.
We thought it was very considerate of the planners to put toilets on opposite ends of the tour! This tourist attraction was our destination today and we were so glad we added it to our itinerary.
Helen Edley — Google review
How amazing it is to be able to relive the history of this palace.
The castle is about 1 hour by car from Luxembourg city.
The tickets are 10 euros for adults and 2 euros for an audio guide. Since the guide ( handheld , not an earphone / headphone ) can be heard , 2-3 people can share 1.
There was no wait. The audio was very detailed and it was lovely to share the fragments of historical essence as we walked past each room. The large kitchen was my favorite as well as the banquet hall.
I was completely mesmerized by the sheer grandeur of the bedroom, banquet hall and the history behind the Vianden Castle.
We are so glad that we decided to make this decision to go and visit this. Absolutely a must visit 🙂

Beautiful castle on hill top. The bus stops on the bottom of the hill so there is a 10-15 min walk up with some nice cafes along the way. The visit is €10 and you must get an audio guide to enjoy the visit, which lasts around 1 hour. Bring headphones so you can listen to the audioguide on your phone.

This castle is located in a small town. Not many people in the castle and the town.
It was a good experience for us.
We travelled from Luxembourg by public transport and took us almost 3.5 hours to reach the castle.
I suggest going by car and saving your travel time.
We found vegetarian food as well.
Travelling to the castle was worth the experience.
Tickets we directly purchased from the castle.
The last thing public transport is free. We didn't pay anything from Luxembourg to Vianden town.

When visiting Luxembourg this castle is a treat to the eyes.It is located on a hill top so it’s really beautiful in summers.You have to travel 2 hours from main station by train to reach this castle.Chairlift car can be taken from the town below and you can enjoy the valley view from this chairlift.

Amazing hidden gem in Luxembourg.
If you are interested in history this is must visit place.
The castle is located approx 1 hour from the Luxembourg city. But worth the drive. You will encounter amazing scenes on the way. They have a parking available, but it is limited. You can get an audio guide for yourself in the language you prefer .castle is not very big in itself. But still it will take one hour for you to visit completely. They have a cafeteria in the beginning in case you are hungry. The staff is very helpful if you need anything. there are explanations everywhere so if you want, you don’t need to buy an audio guide

Wow, what a blast from the past! Our last visit here was way back in 2014, and it's crazy how my oldest son still remembers every detail from when he was just 3,5 years old. This castle is like the VIP spot for tourists in Luxembourg, and it's easy to see why.
The ticket prices won't break the bank either: €10 for adults, €2.5 for kids, and €5 for students with a valid student card.
They've got these handy information devices at the counter, and you can choose your language preference, so you won't miss a beat. We opted for the Scan Me app, scanning barcodes at each site for all the juicy details. Saved me from trying to recall everything back at the hotel. You know how it is with kids at museums, patience is definitely not their strong suit 😂.
Walking through history here is a real treat, especially witnessing the castle's evolution over the centuries, from the 11th to the 14th. No wonder it's earned its spot as one of CNN's 21 most beautiful castles in the world.
But let's talk about the real MVP: the cafeteria. Don't leave without trying their signature soup, Bouneschlupp. It's a hearty green bean soup with potatoes and onions (they even do a mean vegetarian version).
Don't miss out on the souvenir area either, because what's a trip without some cheesy memorabilia, am I right?
Pro tip: Take some time to wander the charming village of Vianden surrounding the castle, those picturesque houses are Instagram-worthy 😉.

Indoor & outdoor swims, plus steam rooms & massages, at a thermal bath complex overlooking the city.
Struck by the negative reviews. We had a wonderful full day in the Thermes and it was not enough. The outside pool is wonderful, multiple relaxation areas, hot jacuzzi baths. The treatments were lovely and very relaxing. We also had lunch at the Institut upstairs, it was light and very high quality products.

Add a bit more zen to the commercial aspect with regards to the treatments à l’Institut. Now very much a factory approach…in and out. However, giving people 5 minutes to wind down after treatment, an explanation of how to improve skincare, and why products are recommended, would already make a difference. Even the receptionist - where the products can be bought - doesn’t explain the why, what and how of what was written down on that paper we were given (in fact, she was quite rude). In short, customer experience to be improved à l’Institut. On the other hand, the ladies downstairs at the entrance are amazing!

I had in mind it's a health resort, it turns out to be just a place with a fancy big pool included 2 jacuzzis in it (I must say; the design of this big pool is quite nice and impressive!) Then an open relax area with some lamps on top of the chairs (The floor was wet and slippery and so noisy from the big pool plus some swiches for the lamps were not even working). A huge wet changing room and a restaurant.
As luckily we also booked the body massage. We got a better service which we could exclusively using a private lift to go to the 2nd floor, where you could have a quiet pleasant restaurant for lunch. Much better changing room with shower facilities and a 100% quiet relaxing room where I got a relaxing day by spending most of the time there in between the sauna and hammam. Actually one could get all these facilities and services in many exclusive gym too! No need to come all the way here!
So because we paid extra for the body massage. We could get the better hospitality out of the facilities. But the worst part was the body massage that I was looking forwards to so much was a disaster!
In my life I had so many body massages in many different countries. In my experience this must be the worst one. Sorry it was not a massage! All I could describe was like someone kept APPLYING some oil all over your body! There were no rubbing
or don't even mention massaging. Isn't body massage means massage from neck to toes? This is the first time I had a body massage was from neck to ankle. She never did my feet? I wonder how could Thermes de Spa could send an apprentice instead of a qualified massagist to their customers??
The 1 point I gave here was for my lunch. Very good choices and fair price for the buffet lunch.

Large pool including outdoor section was fine, but crowded and felt like a normal swimming pool. No hotter or colder pools. Sauna and hammam were fine but you have a cold walk up the stairs and across a hall, which is not really acceptable. People were slipping on the floor as sandals were not allowed. Too expensive.
Thomas Bell — Google review
Reasonable! The prices are okay, if you're really into a day of spa you'd probably go somewhere more secluded. However, it has mas o menos everything you might need. The nude section was really calm which was a big added value as you felt more at peace here.

Mixed review!
Need to pay for towels (€4) which are thin and small. These get wet in the sauna and there is no swap service available to get a dry towel.
No drink water supply anywhere so had to pay for bottled water and no hammam, it’s just a steam room and a shower with soap.
But facilities and pool are nice. Didn’t see a thermal, just swimming pools.
Caroline — Google review
Too expensive (30 € for 3 hours). After all, this is just a public swimming pool with Sauna and Hammam. Not exactly a wellness oasis. Didn't see any pools with thermal water. Bit dated (got a late 90s vibe) and not much decorations. Staff is very friendly tho and it is reasonably clean.
In Germany, you'd pay around 20 € for similar public Spas.

It was a nice spa and we had a relaxing time, but be aware that if you book 3 hours you have to actually be at the check out at exactly 3 hours after checking in, otherwise you have to pay extra before being able to leave. We were in a session that started half an hour before we had to leave and the person guiding it told us we would be fine and have some extra time, when we told the persons at reception they said their colleague in the spa should not have told us that as it wasn't his right to do so in a quite unfriendly manner. A bit sad to end the experience with this.

Found a bit poor in terms of variety. Just 2 saunas, one big pool, and a couple of jacuzzi which are always busy. Resting area was good.
I wouldn't say it was bad experience in general, but traveling just for Termes is not worth it.
Cafe is good, service was also fast and fine.
Nice view on city.

Lovely place to detach and relax. The space has lockers, showers, 2 pools (indoor and outdoor), massage section, sauna and jacuzzi (naturalist and non-naturalist). Fav section was the outdoor pool with a very nice nature scenery. Everything is clean, people tend to wear their flipflops in the shower area which is not allowed but this is what makes some of these sections swamped but other than that, super clean. Not crazy crowded, very nice calm time, even an affordable food place (sandwiches between 8-9euros, drinks 4 -5, salads 13, desserts 7). An entire day is 41 euros, opens from 10 to 21hr. Would go again for a relaxing visit!

The thermes are underwhelming. There is only one sauna and one strange-smelling steam room (with bathing suit), 2 jacuzzis and one big indoor and outdoor pool of which the temperature may be slightly increased. Generally not very clean. There is no shampoo. Weekend days only 3h (changing included), which is too short to be able to fully relax and take time to read a book. Overall weird experience. Would not come back.

A great place to spend your time pampering yourself, wlone or accompanied. They just need to be a bit flexible in replacing soak towels, especially to VIPs who've paid super high service cost.
And for you naturalists, you can go naked too in the all in a safe spot even though perfs and rule breakers are all around, but hey, it's not right but it's OK!

It's basically a big public mineral pool ($25 for 3 hours, per person). There are some jets and water features, but basically just a pool. If you are in Spa and have time to kill, might as well check it off your list...but don't go out of your way to see it. Honestly, it's weird. I wouldn't go again.

Don't be fooled! They ask you to arrive early and tell you you have 3 hours from your booked time. At checkout they claim you scanned your bracelet at an earlier time and charge you late exit fee. Your 3 hours start from when you scan your bracelet entering the facilities. Other than the stress leaving, trying to pay at a machine that doesn't work was a nice experience. Friendly staff (except at checkout), the facilities could have been more fresh. It does feel somewhat dated. Some old lime crust visible here and there. They offer two relaxation areas - naturist and clothed - the naturist area is much nicer almost to the point it feels like they were forced to add the clothed area and this was an inconvenience to the staff. Would give 4 stars if it felt more fresh and they made an effort to have a relaxing exit.

Lovely plan to chill out a bit. For weekends you can reserve only for 3 hours and for weekdays you have the option to be there the whole day. Ticket for 3 hours is about 34€ and if you are student you would pay only 27€. For the whole day usage it is about 40€. Then don't forget to take your towel woth you, ows you need to rent it there for 3€. The best part I would is the pool outside where you can enjoy the fresh air together with the warm water and it's an amazing feeling!

Incredible nice place to be with nice swimming pool inside and you can swim from inside to outside. There's a steamroller, hot (dry) sauna, different Jacuzzis., different health baths. For SURE TO RECOMMEND, especially in the winter when it is freezing and snowing outside, you can swim there outside in Incredible nice warm water. TOP!!!
Sven Troonbeeckx — Google review
I was thinking that this spa located in Spa would deserve our visit, driving from Brussels.
The answer was no. The pools are decent, but nothing extraordinary. Dry sauna was just acceptable, wet sauna was a joke (not the required temperature). Not really clean or well maintained.
Management seems poor as they sell tickets for only 3 hours and since you already don't have much to do at least you would like to relax for longer in the pool.
For anybody looking for a really good spa in Europe, go East - Hungary is unbeatable.

The best thing to do is going to Spa to relax soul and body. This experience was the best of my life!!!
The tourist attraction Fort Sint Pieter Maastricht Underground is a fascinating sight, as the caves there are made of limestone and were once a mining site. The tunnels and caves are a result of this mining, along with the settlement itself which is very cool with a fun tour that ends with an amazing view of the city. If you wish to leave the busyness of the city centre, this is definitely a tourist attraction you should visit.
The best tour guide with the nicest shoes ever! :)
Professional and knows a lot about the place both over and underground.
5/5. (Will definitely come here again one day)
Erik Andersen — Google review
It is a captivating blend of history and nature. The fortress, steeped in rich history and guided by knowledgeable experts, offers an immersive experience for history enthusiasts. What truly sets this site apart are the intriguing underground caves and tunnels, revealing the fort's military secrets. I was enchanted by the cool, dimly lit passageways, which add a mysterious charm to the visit. Surrounded by panoramic views of rolling hills and the serene Maas River, this hidden gem provides a unique and unforgettable journey through time and natural beauty. Highly recommended for a fascinating adventure.

The best of the best, parking down the hill, combined price with cave was very fine and definitely worthy, English speaking guide was excellent, he told us a lot of interesting things from fort history and also about the physics... the tour lasted about 1 hour, the fortress was very interesting from inside and from outside too, especially the well, cannons and city view, it was a very pleasant experience, many thanks to very well educated guide

Very cool settlement with a really fun tour. I highly suggest booking for the tour as you get a brisk walk through the innards of the dark building. Going through the narrow hallways and climbing the stairs is a lot of fun. The tour ends with a fantastic view of the city. Definitely go here if you wish to leave the busyness of the city centre. They also have cave tours btw if you want to be even more adventurous.

Great guided tour, first of the unique Fort St Pieter and then the underground Grotten (limestone quarry in a system of caves and tunnels). Definitely worth a visit. Our Dutch tour guide, Rieki (?) was giving a great and lively walking tour.

One of important historical landmark in Maastricht. It’s situated in the outskirts of the city, but accessible by walking or bus.
You can find this 19th century fort, situated on the top of the hill. Don’t worry, it’s just 125 metres from sea level, easy trek to reach the top.
Not sure about the entry inside the fort, but you can enjoy amazing view of the Maastricht city from the top of this hill.
Possibly there are guided tours to know about the fort, you can go with them to know more.
Plenty of parking spaces are available, if you are comfortable with car.
Highly recommended.👍

We bought a combo visit of the Fort and the caves. The guides, Marcel and Thom, made it a very interesting and entertaining experience. We enjoyed the tour and also learned a lot of things.
It's better to book in advance, so you can get to choose the hours. Also, bring an extra layer for the caves.

I love my experiences there with the lovely guide called Pauline. It was one of the best tours I have had so far. The tour, the guide, and the weather (on that day, not too hot or too cold) were perfect. I ended up knowing a lot more about the places and definitely will visit again because there are still more places underground that we didn't cover this time. Pauline suggested visiting again during the weekend to explore another area underground.
When you buy the ticket, you can choose either the fort or the cave. I recommend you do both. I think they are worth exploring.
Risa Siriwat — Google review
Absolute must thing to do in Maastricht. The fort and the caves can be visited through the tours only (I think) and it is better to book in advance just to be sure. The tour would take you inside the fort from ground level to the top and explain the history of it. it was fascinating and last about an hour, the tickets for the tour and cave can be bought together. There is plenty of car parking available here but the best way is by the bike even though it is slight uphill, bike parking is where the restaurant is. Arriva bike is also available here. There is also a mini-golf.

The Bookstore Domincanen is a beautiful 13th century Dominican church that houses an indie bookstore selling diverse Dutch and English titles. The store is stunning, with sweeping arches and high ceilings, and attracts tourists from all over the world.
It's an amazing library inside an old church. The prices of books are standard and there is also a coffee area where to enjoy a reading. Most of the books are Dutch. However, you'll find some sections in different languages such as English, Spanish, French, German, etc. The place is worth a visit

Very beautiful book shop that is worth visiting. The book store fits very well in the old church and this way the architecture of the church can be appreciated. The book store is big and has several floors with books. There is also a cafe, but it is not worth visiting the cafe given there is excellent pie in places around the bookstore like the famous bisschopmolen bakkery.

A decent collection of recent English books that will be sold fast. No surprising findings. Nice postcards and stationery.
Unfortunately there was no cosy feeling of an independent bookstore because this place kind of lost itself among a tourist attraction, a church, a photo oppotunity and a bookstore.

While studying abroad in Maastricht, this bookstore was one of the coolest spots in town.
Not only does it represent the European mindset of reuse and repurpose, but the look and feel of this church turned bookstore was legendary! Filled to the brim with crisp paperbacks and a little shop you could get lost in for hours! The friendly staff, coffee shop, and quaint finds makes this bookstore a must see!

Great bookstore. Friendly personnel. Gorgeous location. Easily spent three hours browsing the many books. The first floor is mainly Dutch books, stationary, etc. Along with a nice coffee spot.

Visually it is a very nice store. Very iconic location, but it's not the best 'book'store. But that might be a personal thing, I like my bookstores to sell books and little else. This store however is more all round and sells records, CDs and smaller items like mugs, calenders and notebooks. Certainly book related items but it might have had an impact as the bookselection felt a little limited, though that might also be a space thing. Despite the large square footage at its core its a fairly small store. As a bonus though, there was also a selection of second hand books.

The Aachen Cathedral (Aachener Dom) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the city of Aachen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is one of the most important religious monuments in Europe and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The octagonal Palatine Chapel was built by Emperor Charlemagne as his palace church in 800 and later became the coronation chapel for Holy Roman Emperors. The Gothic choir was completed in 1414.
This Roman Catholic church is really old as it dates back to the 9th century. Many German Kings and Queens were crowned in Aachen's Cathedral, as well as being the resting place for Charlemagne. There is nothing modest about this structure. Mosaics, gold and marble in the interior add a glorious feeling. It is considered occidental architecture and if you take a tour you can learn all about this new UNESCO World Heritage site.
Sudarat Maneetapo — Google review
So much history throughout this stunning Dom. Free to walk in on the first floor, where you get a view of the mosaic ceilings and top to bottom, stained glass. The climb to the top of the tower is also easy and accessible. This is a must see when visiting Aachen.

My visit to Aachen Cathedral in 2014 was a fascinating journey into the heart of history and art. The cathedral's rich architectural heritage and religious significance left a lasting impression, making it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and culture lovers.
The intricate design and craftsmanship of the cathedral's interior were awe-inspiring. The golden mosaics and beautifully adorned chapels showcased the skill of the artisans who created this magnificent place of worship. The Palatine Chapel, in particular, stood out with its unique octagonal shape and exquisite detailing.
The historical importance of Aachen Cathedral as the coronation site of numerous German kings added to its allure. Standing in the same space where centuries of royal history unfolded was a humbling experience that transported me back in time.
The cathedral's surroundings, including the charming Old Town and the nearby Elisenbrunnen, provided an excellent backdrop for exploring the city's cultural offerings.
However, the experience could have been enhanced with more detailed information provided at various points within the cathedral. While the architecture spoke volumes, additional signage or guided tours would have provided deeper insights into its historical and religious significance.
Overall, Aachen Cathedral is a treasure trove of art, history, and spirituality that should not be missed. Despite the minor lack of information, the beauty and cultural value of this UNESCO World Heritage Site make it a compelling destination for anyone with an appreciation for the past and the wonders of architectural excellence.

A pretty cool place to visit. The
architecture is very intricate on the outside. It’s amazing how detailed the inside is. Seems like every square inch of this place is as decorative as possible. The stained glass is a sight to see.

It is a really singular cathedral (with a unique distribution of the main chambers) in comparison to the standard concept of cathedral that one could think about.

Designer Outlet Roermond is situated in the southeastern part of the Netherlands, with a rich history dating back to Roman times. The city of Roermond boasts iconic Dutch architecture, traditional houses, and picturesque streets that reflect its centuries-old heritage. It is also renowned as Europe's premier destination for outlet shopping. The outlet attracts visitors from near and far, with peak hours typically occurring around 2 PM on Sundays.
I have never been so indulged by a shopping experience as much as at Roermond. The place is a fairytale with most of the brands. The staff in every store are super friendly and very very organized. Truly and enjoyable experience with awesome food selection. The prices are reduced which makes it even better. To say the least, I highly highly recommend it

I thought I was back in the USA. Prices were high or outrageously high for about 80% of the stores. Styles in half the stores were not appealing. Granted there were some really nice men’s stores. Food options were good and restrooms were available. Easily arrive in Roermond by train and walk to the mall. The city is very walkable. We only saw two vagrants in the entire city during our 7 hour visit and we saw no sketchy characters at the outlet mall. It’s a very high class location requiring a very high budget.

Very convenient area with various brands from clothes to cosmetics... (Gucci, Boss, new balance, Dr. Martens, Ted baker, L'Oréal, l'occitane.... Etc.) I believe you can find everything you need there with lower price (check online just to be on the safe side). You need to walk a lot between shops and you don't even realized how time passes...3-4 hours not enough to see and visit! They have Starbucks and some restaurants as well. It would be nicer to go there when the weather is good because you also walk a lot between shops.
You can also claim tax refund which is amazing. Try not to do your shopping or go to the tax refund office just before their closure but at least 10-15 minutes before their closing time because they don't/ can't do it. Unfortunately we expérienced this issue and we drove 1 hour to arrive this Outlet. Therefore, we were a bit sad to miss these things.

One of the best Outlet and places I've been in Europe so far in 2023.
The decorations, the multiple famous brands in a simple yet traditional house is incredible.
It's a great place to go during your holidays, especially during winter or when you're visiting during Christmas.

Very nice outlet center, the staff is friendly. Visited on a Thursday and very few people, the price of parking is correct. We will come back without hesitation!

The best shopping center in the region, also very close to the German border, so that you can easily access it within half hour.
It’s an enormous shopping center with many different clothing, makeup and household stores as well as food stands and restaurants. There are always sales and the prices are below the retail price, which makes the shopping experience even better.
There is a huge parking outdoors and indoors, which costs 5€/day, which is really cheap if you are planning on spending the day there. There is also a private parking area with 9€/day.

Atmospheric place, very beautiful decor, New Year's atmosphere. Lots of brand stores. Mostly old collections, or were specially tailored for outlets.
There are queues everywhere, but they move quickly.
You can only go if you want to buy Gucci or Versace, but even there, be prepared not for classic Gucci, but for collaborations.

I have visited this place in August 2023.
⠀
🛍️Here you can find all famous brands (Boss, Armani, Prada and many others) at discounted prices. It is a cozy place, narrow streets, each store is a separate house, and everything is combined into one complex. There are cafes, a children's playground, a carousel and a large parking lot 🙂
⠀
🔋I found a machine, where you can take a power bank on bail (to charge your phone, for example) - it’s very convenient.

Outlet with a lot of choice, many designer brands but also many visitors, hence bit crowded at times. But overall good place for shopping. Tip to the owners: Food and Drinks could be cheaper :)
Jens Hoydem — Google review
Very decent prices at a lot of very nice brands. The whole outlet is really well organized. Too many people visit the place so it can be really crowded at times. I'd recommend adding more seating and food places.

Personally, this is the best outlet I have ever been in Europe. The diversity of stores is amazing, too many brands that you can’t find in other regular outlets. Also there are plenty of restaurants and cafes. Unfortunately, I arrived 3 hours before the closure. 3 hours were not enough to shop all the stores! They do have guest service for tax refunds. It takes 2 hours driving from Amsterdam.

Enjoyable mixed indoors and outdoors shopping experience with shops housed in nice European styled buildings. Well serviced with eating and rest rooms and plenty of parking space (for only 5€ a day). I visited this outlet center twice and my main take away is: discounts are not as interesting as they may sound from "outlet" in the name. I compared the price of items I purchased here with their price online, they ranged from a couple of Euros cheaper (like 5€ for an item of 70€) to the same price to even more expensive than online. Look at it more like a nice tour through international brands concentrated into one place, to at best save couple of Euros, but nothing close to making huge savings.
Cochem Castle, also known as Reichsburg Cochem, is a stunning 11th-century hill-top castle offering panoramic views of the town and the Moselle River. Although much of the original structure was destroyed in the 17th century, it was meticulously restored to its former glory in the 19th century. Perched on a vineyard-covered hilltop, this iconic landmark is considered one of Germany's most beautiful castles.
It’s somehow a magical town, full of narrow streets and up the hill this amazing castle.
You can a guided tour, it’s quite quick and the castle inside is not that big but you can notice how passionate the guide is.
The view is amazing form the castle which you can easily reach walking or by car.
I went in winter and need to come back in summer.
Tatiana Prada Villegas — Google review
Beautiful castle. Once you are on top the scenery is breath-taking. requires a bit of walk to reach it but the climb is not that steep. You can get in with a tour only. The tour was in German but the guide (at least ours did) translated most of the stuff in English, plus she gave us a brochure with room by room description. The guide was great with a sense of humour & told us some anecdotes about the castle.
There castle itself inside is gorgeous, although it is not the original medieval furnishings of course but still interesting. They even give a chocolate coin for kids from an old chest.
You can make pictures inside, although there is really no time for them inside or outside as you have to vacate rooms rather quickly for the next tour.
There is a nice gift shop inside.
Cochem town itself is a jewel. Covered in flowers & many little cute streets. recommend also to take a boat trip.
Donato A. Mura — Google review
Great day trip. Perfect to take family and anyone you might have visiting. The castle is a bit of a hike up a fairly steep hill, but the views from the top are worth it. Went in the early spring and I imagine the vineyards on the hill sides look spectacular come midsummer.

We've been there at weekend 30sunday 2023 July.
After closing the Castle at evening we climbed the mountain to see the beautiful castle and the village view....
Was really fun there
We don't enter but enjoy the view and clean atmosphere! But the public toilets in the castle is dirty ( stinky toilet ) .
All after saying
I highly recommend to come and visit here 🏞️🏰🏞️🏰🏞️🏰🏞️🏰🏞️🏰🏞️🏰

I chose to walk up the walkway to the castle. It was a long and hard hike. Beware before you park down below and start the trek up. When you get to the top there are amazing views! And the castle is so rich with history it is well worth it!

The castle is perched on a hill overlooking the charming town of Cochem. The castle itself is a symbol of medieval beauty and history, with a rich past that adds to its allure. Visitors are treated to panoramic views of the Moselle River valley, making it a perfect spot for photography enthusiasts. The guided tours offer insights into the castle's fascinating history and architectural details. A visit to Cochem Castle is an unforgettable experience for history buffs and nature lovers alike.

This place is breathtaking from the moment you first see it from afar, from the town or from the street that takes you there through the mountains.

Family friendly, great 1/2 or day trip castle. It’s well-preserved, and the tour guides will have you through the property in 40 minutes. There’s a large hill leading to the castle, but it’s a beautiful sight the whole way. Recommend for families or adults just traveling.

Absolutely fairytale town with a beautiful castle hilltop. The way to castle from center is 30 -40 min walk uphill and very pleasant scenery.

Wouldn’t say it’s the world’s most fascinating castle though.

Perfectly placed facing the Moselle river, Reichsburg is the most prominent symbol of Cochem. There’s a fantastic old village surrounding the castle, where you take some time for a walk. They have guided visitation until 17:00h; going early is best option enjoy the medieval atmosphere of the place.

The castle is incredibly beautiful as well as the surrounding town. Definitely worth a visit. It's hard to find parking for the holidays. There are a couple of parking lots that are located above the castle, the path from them to the castle itself goes through the forest, it is very steep, keep this in mind. It is not very difficult to go down this path, but it is difficult to climb a steep one without physical preparation.

As Americans living in Germany for the Last 9 months this is by far our favorite place we have visited. We think it beats Paris for romanticizing, the tour was great! Wish we could see a little more of the castle but you get a good 35 minute tour and then have Bier and cake on the balcony overlooking the town and river. We will be back!
Bill Southers — Google review
We had a funny guide. He made the visit great! Beautiful castle! A bit of walking to get there from the old city center, but it is totally worth it. We saw people taking a cab to get to the castle. The view is great! There are nice restaurants around the castle.

🅿️ no car parking next to the castle!
You have to park in the town center and then walk up for 20ish minutes.
🏰 Great castle and tour offered for 8.50€ I recommend to book the tour which is well planned and executed. Interesting facts and you get to see the inside rooms, special view from the balcony, knights armor and a super deep well. Also the fee helps for the maintenance.
🍺 I didn’t see any shop inside the castle so bring your own snacks and drinks
⏱️ the tour starts every 15 min and max group size was 32ppl

The best castle we’ve been in Germany, I know there’s more beautiful out there. But this castle is big clean feel like a home when you enter, they only have German tourist guide but they’ll give you a paper with English translation on it.
You can take some videos and pictures inside too, I know some castle are not allowed. Even it was weekend it was not so crowded inside. They have clean bathroom as well, we did walk through the castle and it was worth it because you can see those pretty buildings on town OTW. You can’t park near the castle they have shuttle bus if you don’t like walking. It’s kinda hard walk going up the hills.
Recommend this place, Cochem is small town but it so calm and peaceful place!

Absolutely stunning castle high on the Moselle river. We didn't have the chance to go in as the castle was soon closing for tours but we were able to walk around and take in all of the amazing views. Fairly uphill climb to get up to the castle but not too bad. Would highly recommend if one is in the local area. Can't wait to visit again and be able to tour the inside.
The Beethoven-Haus Bonn is a memorial site, museum and cultural institution that celebrates the life and work of composer Ludwig van Beethoven. The museum has one of the world's largest collections of manuscripts and music items related to the master.
Very nice place to visit. Well organized and informative. You will find a variety of Beethoven’s belongings as well as paintings and his music books and instruments. Loved it! Sadly no photos allowed inside the house.

A beautiful house and interesting artifacts of the son of Bonn. Here you feel like a part of his history: antique creaky floors, his personal belongings and musical instruments, rooms where you can listen to his masterpieces, a beautiful backyard, portraits and correspondence letters and much more. In my top 3 must-see places in Bonn.
Marianna Taniushkina — Google review
Visiting Beethoven's house in Bonn has been a lifelong dream of mine, and it certainly did not disappoint. As a classical music lover, getting to walk the same halls where one of history's greatest composers once lived and worked was an incredible experience. The house itself is beautiful, with its classic 18th century architecture and the lush gardens surrounding it. Inside, I was amazed to see Beethoven's actual pianos, original scores, and other artifacts that gave me a glimpse into his creative genius. Though he went deaf later in life, standing in that house you could almost hear the music in the air. Getting to see where Beethoven was born and spent his formative years left me inspired and in awe of his lasting legacy. This visit is one I will cherish forever.

Small house filled with interesting tidbits on Beethoven including a unique statue made from a plaster mask while he was not very old, the string quartet instruments he was gifted, items from his daily life, facsimile scores, ear trumpets, and info on his friends, patrons, and acquaintances. I recommend doing the audio tour as it will add quite a bit of context and information to the experience. Perhaps too much. If one were to listen to every entry in the guide you'd likely be there for several hours.

Beautiful and well maintained museum. The staff is very friendly, the items are easy to get to and see, tickets could be easily bought on the spot. I visited on Dec 23 and the museum wasn’t super busy. The special exhibition opened at 11:30 a.m. (museum opens at 10 a.m.) which gave me enough time to see the rest of the house without being in rush. The whole experience took me about a hour and a half. The musical rooms are very meditative and I definitely recommend spending time listening to Beethoven’s music for a while. Pictures could be taken everywhere with exception of the Treasury room where the special exhibition was placed. A definite must-go for a professional musician!

Excellent experience, the house where a legend was born. It's very well kept, everything, every object has an explanation (historical note if you will). You can also download an app which plays the music specific to the instrument Beethoven used. You aren't allowed to take photos inside the house but there is a garden where you can click few photos. A must visit for everyone. (For students the rates are a bit lower)

Such a beautifully preserved piece of history. A must see if you're in Bonn! The house Beethoven was born in and so many interesting facts about him and his family. I would love to go again and spend more time as I was on a time constraint. Well worth it. It's closed on Tuesdays. Plan accordingly

Visited it on a Saturday late afternoon, overall liked the place and was able to cover it in 75 mins. It's small with ground, first and second floor. The place offers you to see different potraits of Beethoven, some of his musical instruments, letters from his family and friends, and some hearing devices. To get more info about the exhibits you can download an app. The download did not work for me inside the Haus so I went to the ticket shop again to download it.
Treasury area is only open from 11 till 14:00 or 15:00. Next to the Treasury you can go into the music room and relax there while listening to some of the famous compositions.
You can buy the tickets from the ticket amd souvenir shop opposite to the house at a normal price for 12 euros and for students 7/7.5 euros.

Definitely come to Beethoven's House if you are visiting Bonn, it is an amazing place that shows the life of the great composer, and how the barriers of losing his sense of hearing can still make wonderful works like his famous 5th and 9th symphony.
Jason Chung — Google review
This was one of the main reason I travelled to Bonn. It was a nice medium sized museum full of Beethoven's personal letters, manuscripts, artifacts and instruments. What I found quite interesting was the correspondences detailing Beethoven's relationships. Download the app in the shop using their free wifi before entering the gallery so you can use the audio guide. Bring a good set of earphones (noise cancelling preferably) as its a small space and the creaky floors and many tours get quite loud over the audio guide.

My friend just wanna visit it while i been in Bonn. It was easy just both tickets and we go straight away! They give u tablet with headphones or you can download app with all information and history.

After that we went to Beethoven house, the house where Beethoven was born. To buy tickets you across the street. Also if you have a backpack then you need to put it in one of the lockers. We downloaded the app which had the auto guide. Overall there is the ground floor and then 2 other floors. This museum goes over Beethovens up bringing as well as highlights the instruments he played. Nice museum, if you want to listen to everything it will take about 2 hours but we tried to listen to what we thought was noteworth so we finished within an hour. Nice to see if you are in Bonn.

I grew up with music of Beethoven, so visiting this museum was kind of sentimental for me.
Reading his letters regarding his deafness and trying the instrument that mimics his hearing was heartbreaking. He was a great man and museum was a good reminder and reflection of this.
The Cologne Chocolate Museum is a museum dedicated to the history of chocolate. The museum has permanent exhibitions on the history of chocolate from different parts of the world, and includes interactive exhibits for visitors to experience the taste and texture of different chocolates.
What an impressive show of industrial skill. I’ve been to chocolate museums before but this was on another level. It had partially operational industrial machinery demonstrating how chocolate is made now and in the past. Then on top of that it has several historical exhibits, a chocolate shop and a cafe. Nearly everything is in English. Quite the experience for a foreigner.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fun for the entire family. I think particularly those with children would do themselves a disservice by not going to this place.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Cologne Cathedral is a huge, imposing building with a beautiful facade. It's also a popular tourist destination with guided tours and views of the Rhine.
Majestic, grand and all those similar adjectives. This is the main attraction in cologne and is worth it. The space around the cathedral is also relaxing. The insides of the cathedral is breathtaking. Also you can climb the tower which is also, literally, breathtaking, since there are 500 odd steps to climb. Visit as early as possible to avoid crowd. It is specially beautiful at night with all the lights, it looks surreal.

The place outside the Cathedral is too crowded and noisy that it is less possible for us to breath. The place is so beautiful and inside of the cathedral is calm and quiet. The art works are extremely brilliant. It would be better to go during the day time especially when it is sunny, so that you can enjoy the colorful glass paintings inside the cathedral.

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

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

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

One of the biggest and the most beautiful cathedrals I have ever been to! You can easily go there by trains as it is located next to the train station. Inside the cathedral, there are many beautiful stained glass windows and I really liked the statues. No entry fee but there are a lot of visitors.

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

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

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

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

Free to get in, probably no surprise to many but this place is huge. Very tall, can’t miss it. Came for a day out. Very good fun, not much to do around the area tho. A lot of room inside to look about lots to look at

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

Huge cathedral in cologne
It was the first time in this city and really enjoyed walking around and seeing so many interesting places and of course this cathedral I couldn’t had it in one flame and also couldn’t had it without the crowd.
But we could enjoyed the views from far away. Hope everyone enjoyed visiting this cathedral and this city as well
Have a wonderful trip and a good time with your company

Wow! Such a great Cathedral! So many interesting features. It is absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend visiting it. It's free to enter but the guided tour is worth the €10. Also it's extra for the treasury and climbing the South tower

Outstanding! Don't miss the opportunity to go to the top of the belfry (no elevator, might be very cold and windy depending on the season and weather). Free admission to the cathedral, 5€/person - entrance to the belltower. And there is a WC :)

Entrance to Cathedral is free. In front of is the line for security check only. Place is the highest and built with so many details you must visit and see. Inside is possible to light a candle and pray, there is enough space to get peace from tourists for a few minutes. Overall, amazing.

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

It is one of the most visited destinations by tourists, as it is definitely impressive. I was totally fascinated by the architecture of this place.
I loved the feeling of tranquility and security inside the cathedral. However, it is also quite imposing. What surprised me the most was the catacombs part.
I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit this place.

Cologne Cathedral is beautiful, amazing building. It is 157 m tall and the world’s third largest Gothic-style cathedral with 10,000 square metres of windows and 20,000 visitors daily.
A lot of people want to take a picture of it so always is crowded in front of cathedral, but it's worth it.

I visited Cologne for Christmas 2023 and it was a great experience. There were a lot of tourists, big crowds, and there was a Christmas bazaar around the cathedral.

Climbed to the top of the cathedral. One stair case for both up and down and over 500 steps on a narrow spiral staircase. Not for the unfit or people scared of tight spaces. However once at the top the views were amazing

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

We visited the cathedral during the week. Once out of the train station you see the cathedral just outside. Take the opportunity to cross the bridge to the other side of the river and go to the view point. For a small fee you have spectacular views of all the city.

The scale of this place impresses me each time I visit. It's an incredible work of art and history. 300 years to build. It would be amazing if restorations were able to occur more quickly to remove more of the black from the exterior. It's truly amazing!

My life long dream came true last evening when I visited this good old Cathedral that survived heavy shelling during World War II. Place of biblical historical importance. Memorable Visit!
Dusseldorf's iconic Rhine Tower is a towering landmark that offers panoramic views of the city and region from its riverside location. The building below, the new Landtag (regional parliament), is an extraordinary addition to the skyline. The tower also houses telecommunications equipment and provides signals for TV transmitters, FM and Radio. The observation deck and revolving restaurant are popular tourist attractions.
Very nice view when the weather is good. A must see in Düsseldorf. Before 11:00am entry is only 5 Euro/person, and up in the tower there is also Cafe, they have different drinks and cakes , ice cream …very relaxing

A phenomenal view of Düsseldorf and an absolute must visit destination. Ticket cost was €10 each and when you reach the top after a smooth ride you arrive at a bar.
The 360 degrees views are superb, but could be improved if there was some interactivity and information.

Panoramic tower on the city of Dusseldorf, opens at 10 am and until 11 am the cost of the ticket is 6€, after 11 it becomes 12€.
you can visit the observation deck inside which there is a very nice bar, with tables and seats.
Above the observation deck there is a restaurant.

Incredible tower, so high and huge. The area there is amazing too, next to the Rhine river. There is a nice walking area around where you can see the tower from all directions.
You can enter the tower and enjoy the city view for 10 €, you can check the ticket prices on the website.

The Rhine tower is an absolutely breathtaking structure, by the banks of the Rhine river. The evening hours are the peak times for visitors, it is recommended to book the tickets online. We got the tickets in the reception for €10 per adult. The elevator is very quick and takes you to the first level, where the in-house cafe and viewing area is located. The level above hosts a restaurant, which is again recommended to be reserved prior. An amazing experience overall, I must say!
Nayanjyoti Kalita — Google review
Highly recommend!
This was definitely worth it. For a very low price I got to see amazing vistas of the entire city. I’ve been on many towers, and this one is clearly one of the best due to its position, surroundings and low admission fee. The photos speak for themselves!! It’s definitely worth a visit if you happen to be in Dusseldorf, you will not regret it!
Bogdan Bordei — Google review
Overall nice TV Tower with a not bad view. However there's really not too much other value added to it, hence the 10 euro ticket doesn't feel like a super great deal. The middle level has some okay-ish snacks and drinks, but the upper level only opens in the night. So if you are visiting during the day, not much else you could do honestly.

It’s a popular tourist attraction. Went there during the recent Museum Night. Waited almost 50 minutes. The elevator was fast and smooth. The 360 degrees bird’s eyes view from the top was amazing. If the waiting line was not that long, I could have caught the sunset.

Visiting the Rhine Tower (Rheinturm) was an incredible experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Düsseldorf! The panoramic views from the observation deck are simply breathtaking, offering a 360-degree perspective of the city and its surroundings. The high-speed elevator ride to the top was smooth and efficient, and once there, I was mesmerized by the stunning vistas of the Rhine River, Old Town, and modern skyline. The revolving restaurant provided a unique dining experience with delicious cuisine and ever-changing views. Additionally, the interactive exhibits and light show added to the excitement of the visit. The gift shop offered a variety of souvenirs to remember the experience. Overall, the Rhine Tower exceeded my expectations and made for an unforgettable outing in Düsseldorf!"

Breathtaking view.
€11+ to go up into a super hot tower, they need to install an AC here! ( They presumably do this so you buy expensive drinks at the top of the tower to cool you down. )
It was 10° outside, I wore a t-shirt, and I was still sweating there!
Food is quite expensive as well.
The view is good.

The Rheinturm in Düsseldorf is an absolute must-visit attraction! From the moment you set foot inside, you're treated to breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the beautiful Rhine River below. The observation deck offers an unparalleled vantage point to admire Düsseldorf's stunning skyline and surrounding landscape. Whether you visit during the day to take in the city's hustle and bustle or at night to witness the twinkling lights, the experience is truly magical. The futuristic design of the tower adds to its allure, making it a standout landmark in the city. The staff are friendly and informative, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're a tourist or a local, a trip to the Rheinturm is sure to leave you with unforgettable memories. Five stars without a doubt!

This was quite a experience and worth it! You can park near the tower, a parking garage across the street for just 2 euro. The entry was not expensive, 10 euro per person or so. Acces to only 1 level and you have a look around the city for 360°. You can freely walk around and if you want lunch or take a drink, also toilets available. We watched the view for a 30min to 1 hours. Just go, even when you are afraid of heights!

I was told about this suspension railway and recommended to try it. I joined at Kluse (one stop down from the main train station, next to the cinema) and grabbed a ticket - although cheap (only 1.70) I found the machine doesn't take credit card, so come prepared with coins.
The railway isn't big - only two carriages - but they are pretty frequent so if you miss one (or it's full), you don't have long to wait for the next. The carriages have been modernised: they're brightly-lit with clean seats that don't look worn in any way. Sitting at the back gives a good view down the river and along the roads during the trip, but as I tried it last evening in winter most of my trip was quite dark.
I travelled south-west all the way to Vohwinkel (the terminal stop) where it's possible to see the other carriages parked, so there's quite a few cars. I then grabbed the one on the other side and travelled back the other way.
Quite leisurely, a pretty smooth ride and fairly quick, given the age of the technology. Well worth the trip!
The UNESCO-World Heritage Site Zollverein contains a coke and coal mine that began in 1849. It is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the Ruhr region, with activities including exhibitions, concerts, and dance performances.
Well maintained, nice tour. Nice place to spend a sunny afternoon. Most of it you can visit for free. Tour is a bit rushed now, because they have to cram 2 hours into 1, but still worth it.

It is a wonderful place that has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Although we have a vaccination passport, we could not enter the museum because we did not have a test, but the outdoor and garden tells everything. This is what it means to protect your values. I advise. If you are going during the pandemic period, you cannot see it without a daily test and vaccination passport and mask.

The Zeche Zollverstein terrain has a lot to show for including a swimming pool, restaurants, shops and two museums, each requiring a ticket purchase. One is dedicated to design, while the other offers a broad spectrum of items, ranging from paintings and sculptures to rocks and artifacts displayed among the industrial spaces and machinery. The general history museum also features beautifully lit staircases, though elevators are available throughout for convenience. To enjoy a nice panoramic view of the grounds, visitors must ascend the stairs to the rooftop. There are a lot of free parking spaces, but it can get quite busy near the entrance, so arriving early is advisable. Given the extensive size of the grounds, biking is also a great option. The main downside is the poor signage throughout. It's often unclear where things are located, the pricing, and which parts belong to the museum versus separate exhibitions. For a World Heritage site, one might expect better clarity.

It is a very big area which is nicely planned in terms of design, style, service to show history.
You can simply touch and feel history and how the weather and the time was earlier. You can also have a guide who can explain you about the history and if you have luck to have someone with a good story telling skills then you can really enjoy the whole visit. There is also restaurant and cafe inside alongside with toilet free of charge.
The complex and buildings are distributed a wide area so you may face and see different views

Wonderful place to visit. Unfortunately, they don't have English guides on weekdays, but only on weekends. But we were able to walk around freely through the entire campus. The old coal mine, factory, and machinery looked majestic. A very beautiful place indeed. If you are around Essen, I would recommend this place to visit. And a beautiful location for your photoshoot as well.

An interesting Place to visit which grants you a look into the past. There is a lot to see, and tours to be taken. Whether you are young or old, want to walk a lot or not, there is something for everyone. A lot to look at, a lot to explore. You can walk around the premises and take a look at the different sites or take the bus.
There is a variety of restaurants and cafes all over the area if you get hungry or thirsty in the meantime.
There is plenty of parking so that you should easily find a spot whenever you come. Alternatively the site is easily to reach by public transport.
Overall if you are interested in the industrial times you should definitely give this place a visit when you are around.

What an amazing place of industrial heritage. One can only try to imagine this site bustling with activity, 8000 people on site and the noise and smell and dust and dirt. All this started by Franz Haniel to mine the black gold. We benefited from a well informed tour guide who helped to bring this to life, highly recommended since this gives you access to buildings equipped with sound and video installations.

Informative and well designed museum about the Ruhr area. The museum includes a great viewpoint of the surrounding area and a socio-historic overview of the area. Only reason why it isn't 5 stars is because it felt a bit propagandistic as the environmental impact of the mining industry was barely mentioned. Regardless it is still worth a visit.

Very nice museum, the workers are polite and they have app which has language options to explain everything to you. 3 different time zone museums and extra football museum. From my taste, you should directly go downstairs 12m start with the history (past) museum, i find that s more interesting. In present section lot of photos and not useful information just items. It has wifi and toilet everywhere. For child under 5 age, student whose under 25 its FREE. So enjoy

The tickets fares are rather confusing. We went on a day where the Red dot Museum was closed. So we only visited the Rhur Museum.
I recommend the fare that includes the permanent, the special, and the temporary exhibition. As you have to walk and travel up and down the many floors inside the museum on both sides. There is a rooftop for taking pictures of the monument. But only stairs. Each floor they check if you have the correct ticket so I recommend you take the all-included one as you walk a lot up and down the stairs.
Permanent exhibition is about history of the industrial complex and collections. The temporary exhibition is currently about football.

Chances are if you’re near here you’re heading for the Ruhr museum, if so definitely take the time to visit this site it’s right opposite the museum you won’t be disappointed. Was very quiet when I visited in November but I’m certain it gets busier when the weather is not so cold

Incredible atmosphere! For my first time at a German football match, I couldn’t have imagined how good the atmosphere is. Stadium is super tall, which adds to the feel of the place, plus deafening chants from the ultras. Could not recommend visiting more, and I would defiantly pay to go again. Beer is also not a rare sight, which adds even more to the enjoyment of the match.

This is the best football ground for atmosphere in Western Europe. Although there are better grounds in terms of facilities or more modern ones for comfort, none of them can beat Signal Iduna Park. Fans are fantastic throughout the whole match, beer is amazing, getting to the ground is easy by trams, can get packed going out but still you will be out in a matter of minutes. The official store at the ground is massive. All being said, you must visit! There are plenty of fans coming from the nearby countries also.

The light show was impressive and is the most memorable aspect of the festival. There were contained bonfires in several locations which provided warmth and fun. We enjoyed live musical entertainment, a trio playing Johnny Cash songs. There were food vendors and areas to sit; also toys and mementos for sale. My grandson loved the cotton candy because sugar was spun around a wand containing multi-colored lights.
We didn't see many animals, but there were special displays: life-size camels to sit on, located near real camels; and videos projected onto waterfalls over a pond; and some small animals viewable in rooms. It was very cold and we decided to leave, so we may have missed many displays.
We had to pay for food in one line before obtaining it in another line. Luckily other customers in the food lines told us so we didn't waste time waiting in the wrong line

This place is good. It's a bit centered in the category amusement park and zoo. I actually like it.

This zoo has some very nice and well designed animal areas which allow for coming very close to the animals and they feel really comfortable with it, which is quite unique. The animals all looked really well, and the zoo is very clean.
A weird thing is that there is a rollercoaster in the park as well as a 4D experience which feels a bit random but was still fun.
There was also a crazy amount of places in the park where you could sit and eat. As in, almost more places to eat than animal enclosures in the zoo overall.
Still a very nice park and a good price for entrance. Would definitely visit again!

Best Zoo I have ever been to. More similar to a theme park than a normal Zoo. 3 theme areas, a large indoor play area, several shows, Restaurants and shops. Had a blast there with my 2 year old, the baby goats were her highlight

One of the best zoo experience we ever had!
They maybe have fewer animals. But the whole experience makes it amazing. The details around each zone. They have a boat ride, role coaster, a safari trip, 4D movie.
There is a giant climbing area for kids inside.
Every food place was not open. Probably not season yet.

It is an interactive zoo, the have a roller coaster as well as a safari in the boat and in the car which makes the zoo special. However they don’t have a lot of animals. But most of the cages are quite big which is good

Very impressed by the way things have been constructed. The inter action with some of the animals is wonderful. The size of the enclosures is also very impressive. The boat cruise through the jungle was wonderful. Enjoyed a nice meal with beverages in the equatorial area. On the whole I was very impressed.

Went here with a group of friends and we spend our entire day here, until they literally closed. They are not that many animals, but quite a few and the experience in general was very nice. The animals are treated well and have proper living conditions. Although there weren’t as many animals as I’m used to see in a zoo, I am very happy that I went here. All the decorations were very nice. The walking paths were decorated with trees and plants. Most of the animals walk around freely in some parts, so you can literally walk through their habitat. There were also goats and donkeys that you could pet. Not only do you have animals, there’s also a mini boat tour and a 4D movie. Unfortunately not everything was open since the weather was pretty bad and there weren’t many people visiting, but I would definitely visit again.

Not the widest variety of animals, but the exhibitions for the animals were amazing, and the animals were lively. Also, great food, clean toilets and good stores.

Fantastic park to visit year around. Not only are the animal enclosure settings beautiful but also spacious. In addition, there is a roller coaster and an indoor jungle cruise in the park.
There are plenty of places to sit, eat and WC.
The best restaurant is inside the jungle area near the jungle cruise. I don't recommend Momma's restaurant. The cheesburgers with bbq sauce are overpriced and terrible tasting. 😫

I loved my visit to Wildlands! I loved the animals and I was lucky enough that most animals were outside and well visible. There were also a few young animals, which were very cute :) I especially enjoyed the Jungola area where you can feed a jelly cup to birds for only 1 euro a cup
My favourite part was definitely the boat ride in Jungola - it gives a great view of the elephants there (I love elephants) and it's nice that they play different audios, so you don't hear everything again when you decide to ride the boat again.
The food was honestly much better than I expected from a Zoo. In the Jungola part, we had wok for 12 euro a person, and in the Serenga part we had some burgers and fries for about 32 total. The food was pretty high quality and the price is better than I expected from zoos.
I went with my boyfriend, but I can imagine how it could be perfect for kids as well: there are plenty of child-friendly activities like rollercoasters, a climbing area, and as a large indoor playground area to name a few.
The only downside I have to mention (and which is incredibly nitpicky) is that the cohesion is lacking in Serenga and Nortica. The animals in Serenga were from all sorts of countries/continents and these were mixed together. I understand that they combine climates, but it was a bit confusing to us.

It well recommended for kids, they have a lot of activity [play ground] for kids, The design of the zoo is lovely. Unfortunately, at that time we couldnt see all the animals we want to see, such as lion or crocodile.
Price of coffee or snacks are okay, friendly place for seniors as well, as many toilets en seats are available.

Wildlands is such an awesome spot. There is no end of things to do for kids, plenty of coffee spots for the parents. Playgrounds inside and out and obviously plenty of animals. The shows are also pretty interactive and interesting and not too long or too short!
We arrived at 10.20 with a 2 and 6 year old and we only left at closing time. It was a fantastic day out. Its easy to navigate too and the maps are very handy

What an amazing zoo.
The animals are so well looked after, spent a whole day here, we loved the boat ride, and the safari truck to get closer to the animals, and the bonus of the roller-coaster is just a big plus.
So many different areas to explore, a fantastic day out. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
It's the best zoo I've ever been to!
And some animals I've never been able to see before such as the polar bear, and some of the fish are amazing.
Gemimia Louisana (Monkeymadness) — Google review
Went a few years prior, and the park definitely got a lot better. You might not get the variation of exotic animals you do at more traditional zoos, but the experience at wildlands sure is better: much more thematic and nice enclosures, lots of different ways to experience the animals (like underwater viewing points) and distinctive areas. The only point of feedback I have is that there isn't a lot of information on the signs near the animals. It would be cool if there were ways, either on the signs themselves or through qr-codes, to get more information.
The Schnoor Quarter is a historically rich neighborhood located in the heart of Bremen, Germany. The narrow alleyways and century-old buildings are reminiscent of medieval times, and make for a picturesque outing. There are also several shops and cafes located here, perfect for a relaxing afternoon or evening.
An absolutely beautiful and old part of Bremen. The Schnoor is my favourite part of this city. Here you can see some very cute and narrow streets. In the area you can find, handcraft shops, coffee shops, and restaurants. Bremen's oldest district is a must visit for anyone visiting Bremen.

A pleasant walk between small houses painted in colors and having some small ornaments, sculptures, statues in between. It's the details that make it interesting, but you should also dive in the small street leading from central square/Roland to the river. It also has interesting surprises.

You have to see it for yourself, photos only make it look quaint, being there in person makes you realize just how special it really is! It seems to always be busy except for between midnight and 7:00 a.m., there are always people walking and exploring, it's a special place!

Super cute nieghborhood with medieval or for Harry Potter fans Hogsmead vibe 😊 While I was wandering the streets I felt like I time travelled to another century. The area definitely well preserved.
I went there on the weekend. It was crowded and be mind that some streets are real narrow. But I can easily say that this is a must see place when you're visiting Bremen. For some Lucky moment I get to capture the streets empty, hope you like them 😊

The time spent here was amazing. It was like I've travelled through time. The narrow cobblestone path and beautiful tiny buildings of medieval architecture makes this place the attraction of Bremen. It brings some kind of nostalgia. There are few Cafes, shops, interesting art galleries etc in this street, though a simple walk through here is more than enough.

Klimahaus Bremerhaven 8 ° Ost is a modern meteorological center that offers interactive and family-friendly exhibits on weather and climate. Opened in 2009, this unique attraction takes visitors on a journey through various climate zones and cultures along the 8th meridian east. As you explore, you'll experience changes in temperature from the German North Sea Coast to the rainforest in tropical Cameroon, with each zone providing a multisensory experience of sounds, smells, and scenery.
Very interesting exhibition, various sides of different part of the planet, an aquarium with colorful fish, caymans, well organized, friendly staff. There is underground big parking. We payed 5.5 EUR for 4.5 hours. The WC in parking is paid, but it’s free inside museum. There is restaurant with vegan street food, the prices a little bit high for such quality of food. There are the lifts. You can go upstairs on the roof and breath with fresh air.

An amazing Museum and experience!! The place is very big and takes many hours to visit. The architecture of the building is amazing and unique, such as the design of each room. I loved that it’s a journey through many country’s, and climates. I enjoyed deeply how each room and place would stimulate all different sensations, such as smells, temperature, visuals, touch, sounds and so on. Very beautiful place and amazing experience.

Very well thought through and informative exhibition. A must visit... Something comparable at times to the Tate modern. A few of the fixed tour audio descriptions need repairing, but otherwise a super experience. Restaurant is well priced with freshly cooked and prepared food to meet most tastes, facilities (toilets and baby changing rooms) are well maintained and conveniently located. Good access to 90% of all areas to those who can walk or for prams / buggies. Commit yourself fully to the experience (especially your time) and if you like to be informed about the world (and man's affects on it) and you won't be disappointed (though you might be saddened)

Great museum. Went for the afternoon ticket and honestly did feel I'd rushed a bit. One could easily spend upwards of 4 hours there. Connected to the Moin shopping outlet and on the Bremerhaven waterfront it's a great place to visit for sure. Different rooms represent different climates as you travel across the world at 8° East. Lots of fun gimmicks (slides, trampolines, tunnels with glass bug cages and shaky rope bridges over fish) to keep children entertained and interesting facts and life experiences from people throughout the world. Highly reccomend.

This is a very nice place to feel the world from mountains, desert, Antarctica, Alaska, Samoa, Switzerland.

I honestly expected the rooms to be bigger. Nonetheless it was a great experience. I loved the climate change and the animals made it seem a lot more real. My favourite thing was the "jungle at night". I definitely recommend this place, especially for people who love to explore the world, but don't have the chance to travel. It's also great for kids who are enthusiastic about nature.

It’s a museum that is so unique from others. U start in Germany and the museum travels along the world through many many places with climates like desert , tropical forests and cold ice
When your in antártica the room has ice on the floor and it feels hot . In Africa there was sand and it felt very hot inside there . This place is fun for adults and especially children. There’s always audioguides and text with information about the place and about the environment in general .

Idea of the place is wonderful. Unfortunately I was expecting better experience with more interaction and acticity. Moving through rooms are not well organised, I missed going to some rooms as I entered one. Even the top roof, the view was blocked from seeing the town in some direction. Tickets cost 20€ but from 15.00 it is reduced to 18€

Very expensive and boring place.
A ticket for an adult costs 22 euros (after 15.00 - 18 euros) It’s full of plastic and very stuffy. There are few living plants and animals. This place gives me the impression of a poor terrarium. There was no new information at the Exhibition for us. It was a pity to waste three hours on this.

We went as a couple on a Sunday morning, which wasn't our best idea. It was very crowded. For the next time, we would definitely use the afternoon slot (from 3pm) it's way more quiet and cheaper!
The exhibition is brilliant! My husband thought that they did not illuminate the geographic and scientific background well enough - but since it is for kids primarily, I thought it was plenty of background information. For us, it was not possible to purchase tickets in advance, but we would recommend it once it's possible again!

Nice place with very important messaging. Unfortunately partially broken exhibits. In need of some modernization and refurbishment. Would benefit a lot from different smells in the individual regions. Cow dung in the alps, African spices, salty ocean breeze etc. English subtitles missing for all movies.
Horribly confused about the super weird Bible quotes/references/imagery completely unfitting for a science museum otherwise dedicated to factual awareness, not angels. 🤦♂️
Animal exhibits could use more space. COVID and general health measures in dire need of improvement ("disinfect your hands here" stations were all empty). The museum felt slightly overcrowded even on a very slow day.

The experience was good, but I recommend it only if you have children. I was there with my girlfriend and we had fun, but we expected more excitement. The rooms are pretty small, but full of details and information and voice instructions. A little bit expensive 18 euro for after 15:00 clock and 20 euro for anytime of the day. For children it is 10-12 euro.
The Erlebnis-Zoo Hannover is a zoo located in Hannover, Germany that features a variety of animals from around the world. The zoo has a well-maintained breeding program for elephants and has a wide variety of animal habitats, including an area dedicated to winter activities.
Great place to visit. You have to plan such as you have a whole day to spend in the zoo. You can see a variety of animals and birds from across the globe. Good place to visit with family and kids. It is pet friendly. There are cafes, children's play areas, gift shops and toilets inside the zoo. There is boating through a water canal and it was a nice experience. The seal show was also good. Over all it was a great day

Beautiful zoo. Very natural animals, fit, well-groomed. Prices in the upper range with 70 euros for 3 people. The employees were consistently friendly. Parking was a 5 minute walk away. The playground is an absolute must for the children, so make sure you plan enough time! And in any case, DO NOT leave the zoo without having an ice cream 🍦 It tastes fantastic.
Aakash Christ — Google review
This zoo was such a disappointment. If you expect a serious conservational effort and educational experience, this is not the place for you. It is more of a thematic animal enclosure experience geared towards children amusement. Mini theme park for kids. They lack staff, and the animals lack proper climate controlled enclosures. They have a whole section dedicated to safari animals, and either they were hiding from the cold so you didn't see them at all, or they were huddled together shivering. It was a really sad sight; much pity for the animals.
Definitely don't visit during winter. Even in summer I'd think twice.. Fortunately the staff were kind enough to issue a refund.

This is a beautiful zoo! One of the best zoos I have seen so far. My favorite part of the zoo was the farm area. There is a huge jungle gym at the end of the zoo. My son had so much. I was able to spend the day here with my family and I can't wait to go back next time we are in town.

Recommend buying tickets a week or two in advance to pay half the price!
Zoo was amazing the animals seemed very happy and lively. You could even step into the inclosure with some animals.
The seal show was really worth the watch.
Spent a really long time here a whole day affair.
Not many restaurants open during the winter season so bring food!
Boat ride was a really addition
The online map isn't great and signposting could be updated but it was the best zoo I have ever been to.

Just an amazing zoo, the best one I’ve ever been! I have spent 5 hours there and still didn’t see everything, you must plan a whole day for it. The highlight of it is lion’s family with 3 cubs (born 20.02.2023). They were so cute playing with each other, their mom and even serious father. I just could not leave the spot watching them for half an hour. Unfortunately the glass you are watching through is scratched and opposite sun made it even worse to look and make pictures, but they were so close, just few meters away. Amazing experience! I liked thematically made zones, never seen something like that in other zoo’s. They have feeding hours for animals so you could watch and they tell you some facts about animals but unfortunately only in German. All signs and information are in German too. People say the price 27 euro is expensive but I think it’s totally worth it and you can actually have much cheaper price (15 euro) if you book few weeks in advance through internet. Must see in Hannover!

I was disappointed as I felt I didn’t get my money’s worth. Most animals were either too far or in hiding. Cafes were closed and the boat ride was under maintenance. The zoo isn’t a handicapped friendly place at least for me personally.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Hannover Zoo, and I must say it was an incredible experience! The zoo is beautifully designed, with spacious and well-maintained enclosures that provide a comfortable habitat for the animals.
One thing that really impressed me about the Hannover Zoo is their commitment to conservation.
The variety of animals at the Hannover Zoo is truly remarkable. From majestic big cats to playful primates, there's something to captivate visitors of all ages.
In terms of facilities, the Hannover Zoo is well-equipped. There are several restaurants and snack bars throughout the park, offering a variety of refreshments and meals.
Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the Hannover Zoo. It's not only a wonderful place to see a diverse range of animals up close. The dedication of the staff, the beautiful surroundings all contribute to an unforgettable experience.

Wonderful experience! We went on a Tuesday morning when it was not very crowded. There were groups of school children with their clipboards, studying different animals- that was pretty cool.
But, the zoo has a varied collection of animals, with some bot very common to zoos. They also had a petting area with cows and goats and sheep.
The Polar Bears are a beauty to watch.

Very nice zoo with good parking possibility, restaurants and play grounds for children are available. The boat ride is amazing and in weekends, it may have around 15 minutes waiting time, which not that much, but worth to do it. For someone leaving around hannover, buying the annual ticket is better than the day ticket.
Thrill & family rides in amusement park with themed areas, plus huge, wooden roller coaster.
Fantastic experience just amazing time to spend a day there. After pandemic this amusement park is now open to public and masks are not compulsory but recommended. There is attraction for all ages. The adventure rides are very well designed and safety seats on each one is very firm and secure so one need not panic when seated inside any of those rides. Ticket prices are reasonable and you also get and yearly pass if one is interested.
Overall it's a very good location to spend a day which is less than an hour drive from Hamburg.

I really want to give a five star. One star minus is simply because it’s not enough time for a big amusement park like this. 6 o’clock in the evening is too early to close! Ideally 10. Maybe 8? Otherwise it’s a perfect family attraction. We had a five year boy with us and we didn’t take a break except lunch and an ice cream. Still we didn’t have time for everything we wanted to do. Please if possible in the future extend the opening hours. Thank you!

Cute park and one really great roller coaster. The wooden roller coaster was the best. All others were rather short and didn't meet my expectations. Still happy that we visited, it's a great park, just doesn't compare to Europapark or American theme parks. If you lower your expectations, you'll have a great time.
Mostly, it bothered me that the rides were so incredibly short, most were about one minute or less. Still, as I said, great park for a day trip or family trip, just don't compare it with the big parks or rides elsewhere.

There is many options for kids above the age of 12 years (and above 140cm) for smaller children it is a bit restricted, bit there are still a few fun rides.
My favourite are
1. Scream free fall tower.
2. Krake (Roller coaster) good adrenaline rush even if a bit short.
2.flug der dämonen
3. Colossus
4. Desert race
For smaller kids
1. Wildwasserbahn
2. Indie-blitz

Located on the Elbe River, Hamburg is Germany's second-largest city and its largest port. The harbor is home to four large container terminals and many smaller warehouses and ships berths. Cruise ships dock here for tours of the city's sights.
I took a boat tour of the Port of Hamburg and it was a fascinating experience. I saw giant cargo ships, observed the loading and unloading operations.
Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in seeing the Port of Hamburg up close.

The port of Hamburg is a very beautiful port and there are many places to eat, drink and, first of all, a very beautiful There is also a popular hotspot when the sun goes down there is a certain horizon where the sun goes down and you can take some really great pictures there.

The port is just huge! We took a tour on a boat for 20€ in order to admire the majesty of the cranes and the huge ships parked on the deck being loaded by containers. There are so many things to see but you need a guide to get the full experience

Nice place to get a good view of the harbour, very close to the Elbtunnel.
Go there when the weather is clear.

The highlight of this trip is not the viewpoint but the tunnel itself. The viewpoint to Elbe tiver has great scenery though.
This reminds me to Bosphorus in Istanbul, similar view but Elbe river connected to the port which have more bigger ships and cruises. I think the port is the one connected to Stavanger and Bergen.

Is an interesting visit, after the tunel you have the view from the other side of the Elbe river. I recomend doing it during spring or summer though. It can be quite windy
Stephanie Rueda — Google review
A bit crowded, but it was mid-day, so expected. Open 24hrs for pedestrians so if you want to see it empty go at 04.00hrs.
Still... spectacular turn of the (last) century engineering.
Currently under refurbishment.

The best place to the get the most amazing view and experience of the Old Elbe Tunnel. German technology at its beautiful best since 1911. Free entry. Great concept for walking and cycling incorporated.

What a great view of the city. It's next to the exit of the Elben tunnel. You can have a baverage or snack from one of the two sellers here. Being there with my friend during last Eastern. We've met local fellow here and we chat a little about living in this city. It was definitely the best piece of the Hamburg taste.

Or was a unique experience walking 450meters under the sea level in the tunnel originally constructed in 1911😍. Going up and down in such huge lifts is cool😇. The view of the port on Elbe on the other side of the tunnel is just wow. 😘

The better part of visiting the Alte Elb tunnel. There is food, beverage, places to sit and enjoy the view of Elbe and Hamburg.
The world's largest miniature railroad, Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany, is a fascinating place to visit with its many details and scenes from different parts of the world. The exhibits are carefully detailed and often include special effects such as fire trucks putting out fires or skiers descending the Swiss mountain.
Absolutely amazing! Good for both kids and adults to visit. The level of detail required to create these structures must have taken countless hours. You can take all the time you need here to admire the intricacies.
After you gain entry, head up to the top floor and start your journey! You'll be able to experience both day and night scenes which will be simulated periodically. More cities are in development so definitely visit again next time.

Fantastic mini land!
The level of detail and small surprises everywhere is astounding!
You could definitely spend a whole day and just discover new things.
You can even have a look at their workshop where they paint and assemble everything.
Be sure to buy tickets and book well in advance because it's a hot spot in Hamburg with many visitors.
Well worth a visit.

I had an unforgettable visit to Miniature Wunderland in Hamburg last weekend! This place offers a truly unique experience with meticulously detailed miniatures representing various cities worldwide, predominantly European ones. The highlight for me was the intricate train networks and the miniature airport with planes taking off and landing. It was a bit crowded, but the 20 euro adult ticket was worth every penny. The presence of miniature shops, a food court, and restroom facilities made the visit even more convenient. Miniature Wunderland is a must-see attraction for anyone in Hamburg!

Super cool! you could spend the whole day here and still not have seen everything. The staff are very friendly and the bistro is a nice place to rest. You can tell a lot of hard work and creativity went into the design of all the exhibits and there are hidden gems everywhere, including trains running right below your feet!

This place is truly a marvel, even if you're not a model making fan.
All the models are crafted with exceptional detail and they're full of buttons for the whole visiting experience to turn from passive to interactive at will.
On the other side, the place feels very touristy, with souvenir shops packed with unrelated stuff, and a "restaurant" too. Too much people can ruin your experience, and a Saturday evening would not be the perfect day to be there.

Such an extraordinary experience! I'm amazed 👏🏻. Every detail, every city, everything is just perfect. I was not expecting so much from this place and was absolutely positively surprised. Great job! Honestly, I think adults enjoy more than kids, as we can appreciate more the details... but it is a nice place for all ages. It is a must in Hamburg for sure! Better to buy the tickets in advance.
Renata VLM — Google review
Just wow !!! It's an amazing museum. So much to see and be amazed. We spent around 4 hours seeing all the models. The best was the airport and airplane model. It's wonderful place to get kids and even the old ones enjoy the museum. There are many different models. Buying tickets in advance is highly recommended. There is a restaurant as well in the museum. Breakfast and lunch options were good. I recommend booking tickets for the morning slot so that you have enough time to explore the whole museum.

Parking is very restrictive in this area so you are better parking away and walking to the place. The cafe served really nice food and all the staff were polite. The models themselves were very impressive especially with how they interlink. The railway control room is also very impressive.

Cost 20.50 for an adult ticket.
A great place to spend a couple of hours. Be amazed by the displays.
There is a simulation of day and night views of all the displays.
The airport seems to be the most popular. I had a wonderful visit.
There is a canteen within the museum. So one can rest and have a bite before continuing.

Nice spot. It took us around 2 hours to see the whole thing. The cost is 20 euro per person, which is interesting to see but, in my opinion, not a must. We went on Sunday, and it was packed it was hard to get near to the expositions to look closely
Andrea Caballero — Google review
Simply amazing! Was a fun experience. The amount of details is crazy. Also, the whole exhibition is interactive so you’ll get engaged as soon as you start your visit. I’d recommend getting the tickets beforehand because the place gets crowded. It has interesting exhibitions already but they’ll add more soon and I bet it’ll be just as great. You can easily spend 3 hours there. And you’ll enjoy it! They offer guided tours so you can see everything from a different perspective.
Alexa Carlos — Google review
I had high expectations.
Thought the models would be larger. They are h0 scale, so 1:87
The models and figures are mind blowing.
The detailed models of structures and landscapes around the world are magnificent. By gazing at the tremendous level of detail one gets a true sense of the scale of human activity on earth. The scale and vastness of our environmental impact.
One could spend all day there.
Amazzzing.
Will definitely go back.

Absolutely astonishing, there’s a million adjectives I could say about this place and I can’t seem to find a word for this masterpiece. The first sections were gorgeous the rooms are air-conditioned and that but also the details of every single man in the huge miniature model of Hamburg,Switzerland,Austria and the alps is living. I can visually guess that about 89 percent of all models is movable. Every aspect of the model including underground and above in the sky is shown in full detail. The posters for example are always made in local languages going with the theme.
The most outstanding part for me was the airport (since I am a huge avgeek myself) the details as I can see is stringent to a almost horrible level. The airplanes are just so lively as if they were real. Almost every model plane can taxi by itself and a lot of them can even takeoff and land by them self even with features such as gear-tilt included. There’s also the airbus beluga, Junker 52, Boeing 777-300 ER etc.
I would say that the this place is really really really worth your visit because you can feel the heart of the builders, you can feel that they build for the fun, not for the money!
Please, if you every happened to read this. Go to Hamburg and visit this place. Bucket-list worthy!

Every time I am in Hamburg I visit this place, and it never fails to impress me. There are always some new details I get go notice, or completely new set-ups to explore (like South America this time, Monaco is now work in progress). Make sure to buy the ticket in advance and there is almost no waiting time. Also, make sure to devote enough time, as you can easily spend here whole day! ✨

Great museum! We spent over 5 hours on our visit, and it felt short. The model trains, cars, boats, and airplanes are all fantastic, and the attention to detail is second to none. All the little easter eggs are fun to find! Highly recommend!

It’s beautiful, it’s mesmerizing, you’d have to spend at least two full days there to discover most of the little details. I’ve been here at least 8 times, and I keep finding new things every single time. However, the place is always completely filled with people, no matter what day it is. I HIGHLY recommend purchasing your tickets online at least one week before, to have a chance at getting in at a normal time. Unless of course you want to stand in a queue for 5 hours, not gonna judge that.

Amazing 🤩 has been on my bucket list for many many years, I did 2 back stage tours. In total I spent about 10 hours here! And I'm sure there were lots of little details I still didn't see. The food in the diner is very reasonably priced and is large servings!
Overall very satisfied. This place is amazing.

Such an AMAZING place! They even had a control center. Was so mesmerized by the amount of detail they put in all the cities. The airport with all the planes taking off and everything else happening there made it feel like it was connected to a real airport. The historic dioramas were really interesting too - being able to see how things changed over time. Definitely had a great time here and will be back again next time.

We went here as a family and had a very enjoyable time. I recommend you schedule a whole day here. We spent 5 hours here. There are plenty of different countries on view including Germany,Italy, America and Switzerland. If you look closely there are many hidden jokes like the millennium falcon at the airport and Batman and Robin scaling one of the buildings. We also did the virtual reality part of the tour which was amazing. You can also have a 3D picture taken which you can have as a plastic figure. Loved it.

Incredible place with extremely detailed models. The are some awesome experiences there too, like shrink into wonderland were you where a VR headset and you can pretend your in the models. There is a cafeteria with decent food especially for a museum. The gift shop is quite nice and reasonably priced. I would recommend buying tickets in advance as buying at the museum can take awhile, it is conveniently located in the center of Hamburg. The airport and trains are just beautiful, if you took a zoomed in picture someone would have no idea it was a model. Even the hall between sections has some lovely miniature landscapes, and a great view.

Completely, totally and utterly brilliant in every way. Spent over 6 hours there and only saw one of the two main floors. Exceptionally good value. Excellent proper food in the bistro - lots of seats and sockets to recharge phones etc. Again, great value. All facilities excellent. The whole place is just superb - can't fault it in any way. Best to book ahead - and try to go as early as possible.

We started exploring at 8 a.m., and we were there until after 5 p.m!
It's a totally different experience compared to anything else, and if you have a passion for details and digging into them, you're gonna love it!
Suggestions for the best experience:
1. Charged Phones
2. Bottle of Water
3. Eat good breakfast, so you're full for the day
4. Wear comfortable shoes
5. Bring some nuts with you so you don't have to waste for lunch
6. Take your glasses if you have trouble seeing tint things in distance :)
7. Patience and passion ❤️

Great experience!! Wish we had known how big and nice it was, we would have given ourselves more time. We arrive 23:30, since those were the only tickets available. Pls book well in advance to get a better time! Even at 23:30 it was still amazing. Just wish we had more time, there was so much to see and do. They had buttons for many of the things where something would happen. Also the light changes in intervals from daylight to nighttime and some of the buttons only work in nighttime. Super cool! If ever we’re in Hamburg again, we would definitely go for either half a day or the whole day.

Fabulous place to visit! Image a warehouse FULL of train sets, over multiple floors and now add cars, trucks, planes, not only trains. Amazing! There’s a “night time” every 15 minutes or so where all the lights go down it looks stunning.
The level of detail here is unreal, so many hours have gone into creating this.
The gift shop is also very good, which is a nice change from most tourist attractions.
C Jason — Google review
A must see when in Hamburg, completely worth it.
I recommend you buy tickets 2 days in advance to avoid the waiting queue which can be even 2h long.
It was kind of crowded however we managed to go trough it all, make sure you grab a map at the entrance.
They have a setup where it turns to "night time" and some of the exhibits look better during that short time window.
The airport exhibit was my favorite so pay attention to the landing and take off screen if you are looking for a particular model to see it in action.
Make sure to visit the souvenir shop before you exit as they always have discounts on models.
The entire visit may take arround 3h, even more.

Miniature Wonderland is great, wide space with many miniatures - people, situations (like concerts), airplanes, trains, city, Hamburg areas and many others. For kids and adults. Amazing attention to details. Must see point during visiting Hamburg.

The place was quite huge and so detail! Great place to go for diorama fans & those with children, you could truly spend hours here. My family and I spent about 4 hours, including shopping time.
The only flaw was it was charged €0.50 for cloakroom per item (we didn’t use this) and there were no info about the locker room which was free. But overall was enjoyable and could be considered when you plan to visit Hamburg.
Lively Innenstadt is Lübeck’s medieval old town, known for its courtyards, alleys, and squares lined with ornate gabled buildings. Among its many landmarks are the 1400s Holstentor gate, home to a city history museum, Gothic churches like the towering Marienkirche, and the 1286 Heiligen-Geist-Hospital. The Museum Harbor has historic sailing ships, while small specialist shops and German restaurants dot the area.
The Schwerin Castle is a magnificent Neo-Renaissance structure situated on an island. It boasts of lavish rooms, a notable art collection from Europe, and well-manicured gardens. The castle's woodworking is remarkable, evident in the intricate animal carvings and parquet floors. Visitors can tour the opulent throne room and family trees that lead to meetings with the Grand Dukes and Duchesses.
Beautiful place. Really well kept castle, its clearly often renovated to keep in a perfect condition. The castle and the surrounding gardens have a really unique atmosphere, no matter the time of the year. You can almost forget that it's XXI century and feel like you went back in time.

An extremely interesting castle located on the island. The number of towers is simply amazing, they look light and harmoniously fit into the ensemble of the castle, the surrounding garden, sculptures and landscape design. Entrance to the castle costs 8.5 euros. Inside you will see several very interesting rooms, including the throne room. This castle is worth a visit!

Amazing place, has a big park around it. Looks gorgeous. There is a parking lot near it. You can walk around the castle in 20-30 minutes, and if you walk through the whole park it will take an hour. Tickets are around 10€ but you can actually see everything without them, they are for the museum inside. You can get to the inside garden for free through the main gate. There is free toilet inside and right outside the back door where they sell tickets. The castle is fabulous from all sides.

Beautiful castle right next to a lake. Plenty of places to roam around and have a picnic outside the castle grounds. There's a nice cafe also which serves drinks throughout the day.
The museum tickets can be booked directly at the counter inside the castle premises. It does feature some pretty cool artifacts and paintings. But, you can miss it though if you are in a hurry or are not a history buff.

What a treat to tour the Schwerin Castle! It was really neat to walk through the castle and learn of it's history. The woodworking in the castle is phenomenal - from the parquet floors to the intricate carvings of animals to the built-in library book cases. I loved seeing the opulent throne room and the family trees that people would walk through before they met with the Grand Dukes and Duchesses. We also enjoyed exploring the gardens.

Wow, this place is amazing! Please allow a full day to see the castle and the town. The entire experience was unforgettable! The boat ride is brief and not really necessary.

We came on a Saturday. It wasn't too crowded, we did not wait in line for tickets (end of april). We paid in cash. We parked a few blocks away and walked over.
The museum is in part art exhibits and, in the second part, presents the rooms of the castle as they originally were. The throne room is the last exhibit, and it is a sight to see. Many signs were also in English.
Surrounding the castle is the lake and gardens, which is beautiful and free. There are perfect photo opportunities here.
The restaurant menu only really had dessert dishes, so we found a place nearby for lunch.
Would highly recommend!!

Schwerin Castle is one of the most beautiful castles in Germany. Its fairy-tale style really makes an impression. If you want to know more about the castle, check out the museum and learn more about its history. The admission cost 8,50 euro, it is worth the price. If you don't have time or not into a museum, then have a walk in the garden. It's beautiful there, and you can see this gorgeous castle from all different angles.

Das ist wunderbar! The schwerin castle is unbelievable beautiful! It is so big, aesthetic, and majestic! I feel like in the Disneyland. The traffic light is so cute, it’s kinda different because near of the Schloss / Castle. We can go inside the castle for free, you can either go to the backyard of the castle and find a calm lake. enjoy the sound of ducks and birds. You can also go upstairs and go to the restaurant. You can find some merchandise or souvenirs there as a postcard, keychain, books, anything. You can also go inside and see the large field of the castle. I really love the place and recommend the place! 🥰🫶🏻

Beautiful castle, great architectures, I love looking at the unique patterns of the ceiling and doors, they make me feel honored to visit this place. By the way, I would like to send my sincere thanks to the ticket collector on the 2nd floor of the castle. It's a pity that I forgot to ask his name. He saw that I had 2 tickets in my hand while I was traveling by myself, so he guided me to return 1 ticket. Thank you for being a kind person. 3 missing stars because of the 3 dishonest people who are working there that I've met today.
Egeskov Slot is a 16th-century castle in Denmark surrounded by a moat and turrets. It is an example of the grand castles built during Denmark's "Golden Age." The castle has furnished rooms that visitors can explore, as well as 15 hectares of gardens with family-friendly activities such as mazes, playgrounds, and a treetop rope course. In addition to the castle, there are other attractions nearby like the Odense Zoo and Railway Museum.
Must see place while in Denmark! Stunning castle on the water with a spacefull grounds and activities for all ages!
Huge playgrounds for kids all ages, there is something for everyone.
Cute pink car looking like carriage running around. So you can take a ride if you pay extra or take picture a free picture.
Restaurant and few snack stands are available.
Free riding bikes on the track for kids.
Funny warning sign by the bridge, don't miss it. 😉
Benches are all over to your service and having a picnic on the grass is welcome as well.
I recommend to visit website ahead of time and see if they have a special event for the day you going to visit castle. They have a lot of cool events throughout the year.

It 'a great place to spend a day, with family and/or friends, you can visit the gardens and various buildings that contain collections of old types of cars, bikes and all kinds of vehicles on display. It is interesting to stroll around and see people having a picnic or just eating a hot dog in one of the many spots.
It is certainly one of the most beautiful theme park like surroundings. A little pricey but worth the visit especially for family with kids.

Huge place, worth a whole day visit! The castle is beautiful, one of a kind. Eclectic collections in the castle and the surrounding buildings offer something for everyone: whether you're into cars and motorcycles or dresses and hats and doll houses, you'll find something of your interest here. Large gardens are especially lovely in spring when everything is in bloom. There's a big playground for the kids, plus a hanging bridge and an amazing maze to get lost in for humans of all ages. For lunch, you can bring your own picnic basket, or choose something from the restaurant or kiosks on the site.

The castle is an expansive destination offering a multitude of attractions within its vast area. As you enter, you are greeted by a sizable playground, a true haven for children with its diverse range of entertainment options. The presence of fast food options is convenient for quick bites, and there is also a restaurant available, although the food falls short of expectations.
For automobile enthusiasts, the castle houses several museums showcasing retro vintage cars, motorcycles, and carriages, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past. The presence of numerous lawns throughout the castle grounds offers ample space for picnics, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
The castle itself is undeniably beautiful, but it is disappointing that visitors can only explore a small portion of it. The inability to see the entirety of such a magnificent structure can be frustrating for those seeking a complete experience. Nonetheless, the surrounding landscape is stunning, adding to the overall allure of the castle.
Despite its flaws, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The ticket prices may be on the higher side, but the castle compensates by offering a variety of activities and attractions to keep visitors engaged and entertained. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or someone looking for family-friendly fun, this castle has something to offer for everyone

This place is amazing. The castle itself, though not that impressive, is still worth visiting. It’s not huge so you will probably only be spending an hour or so touring the interior but the grounds have much more to see and do. We didn’t actually get to see all of it but it’s definitely worth spending at least half a day here especially if you’re bringing the kids.

As stately homes go this is a very well thought out and attractive location. In addition to the house, there are very expansive, beautiful and well-maintained gardens, and several museum collections. Kids are also well catered for with fun parks and theme areas.

Amazing place, so much to do for all the family. Fantastic collection of cars, bikes, motorcycles, and a few planes and helicopter. it's a must to visit the castle as well as the grounds. The dolls House and collection of items in the attic are a must see.

Beautiful place with lots of attractions: labirynths, some interesting exhibitions: old cars, motorcycles, rescue cars, camps, big playgrounds, beautiful gardens.
Unfortunately we couldn’t visit the castle as it was closed due to some huge festival, but still it was worth to visit it
Warnemünde is a coastal town that was once the residence of the famous Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. The area boasts an extensive stretch of shoreline and a beacon structure.
The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde showcases an array of ancient and medieval maritime culture. The highlight of the museum is five Viking ships that were discovered submerged at Skuldelev, majestically displayed in the main hall. Visitors can also explore the workshops of Museumso where archaeology and reconstruction work takes place, and Nordic longboats depart. Daily guided tours are available in English during summer months free of charge.
The museum is very well organized and very interesting. It does combine interactive plays for the kids as well as much educational information. The artifacts are beautiful and the models very detailed. A great destination for a rainy day. The city itself is a beautiful spot to spend a few days.

One of the most amazing Viking boat museums I've had the pleasure of visiting. Some of the activities were scheduled to occur once or twice per day so proper planning is required. The buildings housed various activities and most were open to experience. The reconstruction of the boats, their history, and the two decades worth of restoration was amazing to see. The tour guides were passionate, energetic, and also had a great sense of humor. The cafe offered mead which was icing on the cake.

I love the vikings and viking ships. I also love traditional crafts and archaeology. So this museum pretty much ticked all my boxes. Spent several hours walking through the museum learning all about these fantastic archaeological finds and their exciting recreations. And the best part is you can step on the boats and if you book you can take a ride in one!
Honestly was the highlight of my museum visiting career so far... lovely staff too, v knowledgeable and clearly passionate.
Excited to revisit when it expands in the future.

Highlight of our visit to Denmark.
We joined a guided tour which was delivered fanatically by staff, very impressed with her knowledge.
Seeing the Viking boats and hearing the history of them was fantastic.
Sadly we visited in December so didn’t get the chance to see the replica boats on the water as they was covered up. Would definitely return in the warmer months to see them.

If visiting Denmark, it is not far from Copenhagen. Overall a nice size museum, plus outdoor activities for children and even active restoration of Viking ship. We did not do the sailing, but it looked quite nice, reservations are needed in advance.

What a fantastic day out. The Viking Ship Museum was brilliant, staff were friendly and happy to answer any questions.
It's good for the whole family. There is a little workshop with tools and wood. Kids can make their own boats and try them out in a designated pool to test them 😊. We went on a Sunday, which was very quiet. The little cafe was open which was lovely.
So glad we made this museum one of our stops on our weekends away in Copenhagen. It was only a 35min train journey, reasonably priced and a regular service. A definite must for people that like Viking History ☺️.

Everything you want from a ship museum: original archaeological finds, scale models, a working boatyard with detailed explanations of the construction process, actual reconstructed ships – and boat rides to try out the technology in first person mode.
We also got the chance to wear an authentic replica of a Viking shield and helmet and get a swing with a sword and axe.

A very cool museum. It has 5 Viking ships on display and lots of interesting information about their recovery and preservation. They have an area where the kids can play, pretend to be Vikings and sit on replica ships. The outdoor area is even bigger where you can see old ship building techniques. We were only here briefly but I’m sure you could spend hours here if you wanted to.

Amazing experience, such fascinating history and exhibits. There are guided tours worth going on so you can find out even more about these ships and ask questions. There are also some objects from around the Viking world worth seeing.

Visiting this place was fun. I am a fan of this people and the finds and reconstructions were very interesting. I really liked the explanation of the creation of the different types of strings they used. Fun is the area where the boats are built for children. Present places of refreshment. Advised

A really nice, and informative museum. It is not just display of the old viking ships but also, the workshop where you can build something yourself or watch as works are being done, the very knowledgeable staff who are friendly and ready to answer your questions and all the little details that provide you with a really idea of how things were. I really enjoyed it and would totally recommend this museum be it for young ones or adults. Around the museum area, there is a restaurant but also area where you can lid on the grass and have a nice view of the water

Very cool experience!! They have a Viking boat you can go I’m on in the harbor that’s part of the museum which was a really cool experience! The museum had cool history behind the Viking time period and artifacts. The coolest parts in my opinion are the bots and history section on the second level, on the bottom level a lot of it is about excavating pieces so if you don’t have much time I’d recommend just taking a quick glance at that part. They also have two cool half ships that kids can play in and explore as well as some Viking cloaks you can put on, super fun for kids too! A must see if you visit the Copenhagen area!

We were there last month and had a blast!
I can’t tell enough people about the trip on a Viking ship where we got to row and sail.
The living history museum is very well done.
I learned so much and wish I could build my own Viking ship at home now.
We showed up at 10 am to try to get into one of the first boats but had to wait about 2 hours to set sail.
We used the time to visit the cathedral near by. It was worth the wait and time well spent.
If you could get tickets in advance I would have done so in a heartbeat though.
We ended up spending almost a whole day on this excursion but no one regretted it.

From the Roskilde Cathedral, we moved to another site in Roskilde, the Viking Ship Museum. The ground, still wet from the previous rain, along with grey skies, and dense clouds, gave the site an ominous feel.
Once the group departed the tour bus, we weaved between buildings and areas that during the spring and summer would have been buzzing with tourists, guides, and local workers. Instead, we viewed partly constructed sailing Viking ships in the museum’s boatyard freely. I peeked into the windows of a rope making shop as well as other buildings as our group made its way to the museum.
As we approached the museum, there were a few people on the grounds, working on ship replicas. Inside the museum, to gain knowledge about the five original, excavated Viking vessels (Skuldelev ships) from 1962, a film, Five Viking Ships from Skuldelev played in a small theatre downstairs.
Upstairs, the haunting view of the 11th century ships are on display. Striking and poignant, to view these ships that were buried for years would make one wish that they could talk and reveal their history for all to hear.
Overall: There is a chance to board a traditional Nordic boat that allows passengers to take part in rowing and other jobs to have an idea what it was like to be a Viking. Check the website for availability starting in May to September.

Using the Copenhagen discover card, you can visit Roskilda viking ship museum with the train journey also covered by the card. The story of the ships is told from 3 aspects, archaeological, people of the time and warfare. Excellent app allows you to listen whilst roaming the museum. Do not forget the outside exhibitions(seasonal)

The child in me was very happy in this museum. Congratulations to the organizers. If you have kids, don't hesitate to come here. You'll not regrate. It is in Roskilde.

After leaving Helsingør train station, Priscilla and I took about 1.5hr to reach Roskilde Train Station. Google Map showed me a 20min walk to Viking Ship Museum. We need to walk through shops, small roads, cutting through a big open field with side walking trails to some forest and then out to another main road and all the way to the Museum in 25mins according to our walking speed. After the staff scanned our Copenhagen Card, she told us we have 30mins to look around as Museum closed at 4pm. It's different from what Google Map mentioned but I suppose it's because no more daylight saving after 3am on 30 Oct 2023. We managed to have a quick understanding of Viking Ship from exhibition near toilet area in Level -1. Then we saw the skeleton structure of 4 Viking Ship in the Museum. Did to time constraint, we were not able to sit thru a video presentation. Indeed it was a great experience understanding the days of Viking in Denmark and motivated me to read it up further when I return to Singapore. Amazing display of Viking ships in the early days of Danish seafarers. 👍👏😁

This museum was the highlight of our Copenhagen visit, and one of the coolest museums I've ever been to!
We visited in the summer, with good weather, so there was a TON of interactive outdoor activities. This museum is so well laid out, and everything is a learning opportunity (even the trees have placards on them to learn about)!
There's a lot for kids, including building their own boat, and viking games outside. The absolute BEST part was getting to ride in a replica viking ship! You all row together, and depending on where you're seated, you may hoist or direct the sails, or even steer the ship! It was my favorite thing we did!

Worth it. Its really spectacular to be this close to the viking. (Just the culture and story not viking its self i might not make it)
The museum done a great job with the narrative. I’m really enjoying it. How they bring audience to slightly interact with it.
The building is beautiful as well!

It is not big, but quite informative. Both the remains of old ships and modern replicas are very interesting to see and learn about.

Museum contains real remains of 5 ships. Very interesting story and huge effort spent on preserving and assembling the archeological finds. You can also access the docked reconstructed ships and take photos on them, and there is a boatyard with some activities. The museum is quite small though and there is not much else to see apart from the ships, probably spent about 30min in the museum itself.
