Motovun is a Croatian village situated in central Istria. The region was inhabited by Celts and Illyrians in the past, who constructed fortresses at the present location of Motovun. The name of the village is also derived from the Celtic word Montona, which means "a town located on hills".
The Risiera di San Sabba concentration camp was used by the Nazi regime to detain and kill political prisoners, as well as Jews who were then deported to Auschwitz. The museum is a five-storey brick-built compound that commemorates the 5000 people who perished here and the many thousands more who were impacted by the camp's existence. The exhibits provide an overview of the history of the concentration camp and its use during World War II.
Surely not at the level of the most famous (or infamous) concentration camps. For me it is worth five stars: this place needs a visit, as it is the only camp in Italy with a crematorium

Great, succinct museum in a place charged with heavy, too recent history. Definitely worth a visit. Plan about 30-40 mins. Audioguides currently unavailable due to covid.
Emilie Roberts — Google review
An unexpected little gem. Another sad point of reflection on WW2, and how grim it must have been. It's not a very big museum and there is a lot of reading. For me the map of the transition locations across Germany shows the systematic scale of the operation that was being undertaken.
In spite of being close to the town, people did not realise what was going on until late in the war.
Entry is free, but a donation is welcome.

Interering place to visit but not much to see. A bit off the beaten track though easy to get to by bus. History is tragic and we hope it will not happen again. This is why it is important to visit such landmarks

Great museum and audiotour. Tells touching stories and still manages a good historical contextualization. Fitting architectural concept.
cleimu — Google review
This is a less known, yet very important site to visit. A remarkable monument of an era that should not be forgotten.
For 2 euros only you can buy an audio guide which I really recommend to do so, as otherwise you won't understand what to look at and you won't have all the background information.
If you get there by car the most convenient is to park at the supermarket's parking lot nearby.

Small, but nice place to visit, to remember the history.
Be aware that with COVID situation today you need a “Green pass” and that many buildings accept limited amount of people at once (2 to 10 people max) so it’s better to come in the morning to avoid queues.

Via Giovanni Palatucci, 5, 34148 Trieste TS, Italy
The Piazza Unità d'Italia (Piazza Grande) is a large, impressive square in the heart of Venice that is flanked by some of the city's grandest palazzi. The square is a beautiful triumph of Austro-Hungarian town planning and contemporary civil pride and is especially beautiful when lit at night. The buildings around the piazza are all well maintained and look really nice during the day or at night when they are illuminated with blue lights.
Beautiful square. It is often said to be Europe's largest square located next to the sea. The square was built during the period when Trieste was the most important seaport of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and includes the city's municipal buildings and other important palaces. You should visit Caffe San Marco – a magnificent place, well known to both tourists and residents

It's a wonderful place in Trieste ❤️
The main square in the city and one of the biggest squares in the world. Great architecture and monuments. Here is the fountain of the four continents, the building of the municipality and local government. There is access to the sea from the square. Try coffee in the cafe here - it is delicious 😋

One of the stunning places to visit at night. The Italians really know how to light up the night. This place is absolutely majestic, it beautiful during the day but absolutely gorgeous at night. It has lovely statues, water fountains and the buildings architecture is amazing. This place is one of my favourite evening places I’ve ever visited. It’s very lively, with lots to do in and around this area. How could you not check this place out.

Cattedrale di San Giusto Martire is a 14th-century cathedral built on a Roman temple that features intricate frescoes and mosaics. Completed in 1400, it showcases a combination of Ravenna and Byzantine architectural styles with 13th-century frescoes and 12th-century mosaics. The chapel, known as Escorial Carlista, houses the tombs of nine members of the Spanish royal family.
Nice historical place with awesome view on the Trieste and all surroundings. Near to the centre of the city and parking garages, just a few minutes of walking.

San Giusto is the result of joining two churches together. Impressive interior with a large nave; two aisles on either side; 13th century Byzantine mosaics and a magnificent Gothic rose window. We stayed for mass officiated unusually by a young priest with a sense of humour!

Beautiful church. And next to it you can see the ruins from the romains and go to the bell tower. From there you also get another beautiful view. Going up costs only 2 euro per person

The ambience inside was quite special. The interior was also decorative and splendid as were the religious depictions and altars. Definitely a place to visit.

You can reach the church after a nice hike up the hill, but the view is worth it. Entrance to the tower costs €2 per person. In the tower you will find four large bells and a beautiful view. Parking is tricky and complicated, for experienced drivers only.

Olly Gronau — Google review
14th century Gothic rose window, the portal and the massive bell tower. The whole of the façade, a hut. S. Giusto is a 'cathedral-patchwork' built in Roman times, on a paleochristian hall. Inside, the cathedral surprises, among the forest of columns, for the width of the five naves and the magnificent mosaics of the Venetian-Byzantine school (XII-XIII century). the magnificent wrought-iron chandelier overlooking the central nave, forged by Massimiliano for the throne room of his castle and then given to the cathedral before leaving for Mexico where he later died.

This is a very beautiful church. The architecture, artwork and stature is very nice. It’s beautiful, it’s not e big but it was much larger than I had anticipated. I really enjoyed the time I’ve spent here, if you enjoy visiting churches I would definitely recommend visiting this church when in Trieste.
Pong Lenis — Google review
Totally worth the climb to top of the hill where you find amazing romanesque cathedral. Not so high entrance but with beautiful old parts. Built on remains of roman temple. You can climb the tower to enjoy the view, but for that you have to pay 2€. In it you can see roman construction of old temple.
Rok Stražar — Google review
Beautiful church on the hill with really easy access when you are coming by car. It is possible to park in an underground garage on the sea level and the lift takes you all the way up to the church (and castle as well).
Definitely one of the best mammals you can visit in Trieste along with the castle, recommended 100 %.
Entrance is free within the opening hours.

The 13th century Cathedral is absolutly stunning. For its age, the well kept nature of the frescos and artefacts surpasses all expectations. We have seen 18th century churches and cathedrals in worse conditions. Have never seen anything like it, especially a cathedral with so many little chapels inside. Amazing, well worth the climb and visit. Almost looks like a movie set for a medieval fantasy film. A holy place rich with history, relics and color!
Trash Panda Tactical — Google review
Very beautiful old church, main church of Trieste. Interior is very nice and interesting, you see and even feel how old the church is. And inside you can see very nice mosaics.
The church is located just near the San Giusto castle, on the top of the hill. You can go up the hill along narrow streets starting from the Trieste City Hall.
Irina Kravchuk — Google review
This is a treasure trove of a church for students of medieval art & architecture and the guides do not do it justice. Most European churches were heavily modified during the Baroque era and most of the Medieval and Renaissance decoration was lost. But not San Giusto; the only Baroque elements were in the side chapels. The church itself maintains its medieval 15th century aesthetic.
The church itself retains elements of far earlier churches and temples. It was originally built over a Roman temple in the 6th century and destroyed soon thereafter by the Lombard invasion. Two side-by-side churches were then built in the 11th and 12th centuries both with beautiful mosaic apses. The two churches were joined together in the 15th century, adding a larger central apse which now has a 20th century mosaic on its ceiling that is equally impressive, in its own way.
What is absolutely remarkable are the elements of each that have been preserved. The entry to the bell tower was built on a Roman foundation and many original columns were incorporated. The entire entryway to the church was used from the temple, and the sculpted figures on either side are a reused Roman funerary column. The mosaic floor to the left side of the church remains from the 6th century church and the 11th & 12th century apses have their original mosaics. It is worth a euro coin to turn on the lights to these apses for photos.
Finally, don't miss the 600 year old painting on the walls and ceiling of the rightmost apse. It's pretty deteriorated, but remarkable how much remains.
If you like medieval, don't miss this church in Trieste.

A majestic cathedral in excellent condition, skilfully restored inside. The dome above the altar is a thing of beauty.
Skocjan Caves, a natural wonder in Slovenia, is an extraordinary underground network of fossil-filled caves with a river and canyons. The cave system was carved out by the Reka River over the past two decades and is home to huge, spectacular subterranean chambers that must be explored. The caves offer guided tours to visitors who can witness its beauty up close; it's recommended for visitors to wear warm clothing and sturdy footwear while exploring.
Incredible place, absolutely breathtaking. The murmuring river in the underground canyon leaves unforgettable impression. The scenes inside are like in Lord of the Rings (or Portal 2 game on underground levels).
When you're leaving the cave, you have 3 options to get back to the initial point: two short routes and one long. It's really worth to take the longest route (#3, takes 40min) and see all the beauty of the canyon.
Unfortunately, photos are forbidden inside, even without flash, there is a monitoring (however, a lot of people still do it)
Andrei Belashou — Google review
The tour was stunning. I must say, the cave was bigger and even more impressive than in all the pictures you see of it. I was just astonished most of the times. It does get a little bit hard if you’re afraid of heights because there is a bridge really high up that you need to cross, but the feeling of seeing everything going on in this cave is remarkable

If you're looking for an amazing underground adventure, I highly recommend checking out these caves. They were much bigger than expected, with an awe-inspiring array of natural formations and stunning underground landscapes.
One of the best things about these caves was how accommodating the staff were when we were late for our original booking. Despite our tardiness, they still made sure we were able to experience the tour and see all the incredible sights.
However, it's worth noting that there were many people on the tour, which may not be ideal for those who prefer smaller crowds. That being said, the incredible sights were definitely worth the company.
One thing to keep in mind is that visitors aren't allowed to take pictures inside the cave. However, at the end of the tour, you're able to snap a few shots to capture the experience.
Overall, if you're looking for an amazing underground adventure, these caves are definitely worth checking out. While the crowds may be a bit larger than desired, the stunning natural formations and accommodating staff make it an unforgettable experience. Just don't forget to bring a camera for the end of the tour!

Such a great experience. If you go, definitely take the red trail when you come out of the cave. Be sure to get reservations in advance. All of the tours were sold out on the day we went. The initial portion of the guided tour does not allow photography which is unfortunate, but I guess it keeps the tours moving.

Spectacular in size and impressive. It is like visiting underground canyons with river rapids. The scenery is stunning both inside and outside. We definitely recommend to do the long trail. It is very different from Postojna caves, they are not comparable.

It’s hard to put into words how incredible these caves are/ the experience walking through this cave. The tour was incredible, and I appreciate not being able to take pictures inside as it forces you to focus on the true, raw, natural beauty. The river rushes through as you walk along the dimly lit path. The tour guides are super knowledgeable and it is definitely worth a visit. One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen in my life. As a freshwater ecologist, I was in heaven!

Looked expensive at 22 euros for the guided tour, but absolutely worth it. Tour is a bit more than an hour through the main caves, and afterwards you can do another unguided part for 30min to 1hour which is amazing.
In may it is still not that busy. Highly recommended.
Note that photos are not allowed in the guided part of the tour

We had an amazing experience here on a stormy day. By far the most beautiful and biggest cave I have ever visited. Plus, it’s very affordable and the tour guide shares interesting information. The group is quite big, but that turned out to be okay as the guide made sure that everyone could understand him well.

It's hard to find the right words to describe the Skocjan Caves. This place is magical and so raw. I've been to several caves, but this one made a fantastic impression on me. The Skocjan Caves are so huge that you can easily feel the space. Phenomenal rock formations - stalactites and stalagmites, plus a rushing river beneath us. You are not allowed to take photos in the main area. We chose the longest trail - it's beautiful, it was a bull's-eye.
Agnieszka Rybczyńska — Google review
Absurdly breathtaking, the most extraordinary cave experience I've had. The underground canyon is mesmerizing and feels like you have stepped into a scene from Lord of The Rings.
The steps can be a little strenuous and the ground a tad damp so pack in comfortable hiking boots and long sleeves as it can be chilly. No photos are allowed in the caves themselves to preserve the natural light (or lack of it) as much as possible. They even turn off the navigation lights between tours.
An absolute must foe those seeking out the grandeur of caving.
Eden Theron — Google review
The most beautiful cave I have every visited. It is amazing to see that nature can create such massive caves underground. Be aware that the cave has become a big tourist attraction and that buying tickets beforehand is highly recommended. Visiting the cave is done in groups of 40 with a guide. Inside of the cave it is NOT allowed to take any pictures (only at the exit). At the exit of the cave there are three options of returning to the main building. I recommend taking the longest route, if the walking doesn't bother you, as it will take you through some extra caves where you can take some pictures.
Thomas Carsjens — Google review
Very highly recommended for the nature lovers. Many thousands years old limestone caves filled with millions of drip stones (stalactites ) and stalagmites, and one of the world’s largest underground river canyons. The cave is throughout well lit and provided with safety railings along the canyons. There are so many amazing chambers, one of them called the hades chamber is the most spectacular with the largest stalagmite of Europe and one of the largest in the world. There is a guided tour available for 22€, which is absolutely worth the time and the price. Really amazing team of tour guides, very friendly, attentive and informative. Towards the end of the guided tour they provide you with three options to return to the initial point. Two of the routes take you further for small hikes. Unfortunately we had to take the shorter route of 20 minutes, which was mostly stairs. There comes a small detour for the splash falls, which is really awesome. Although the photos are strictly forbidden inside, but people do manage to capture secretly. There is a big parking place with lots of space available.

These caves were crazy awesome. The tour was fun and I formative, but the caves are just so big. I felt like I was in an Indiana jones movie. So great. At the end of the tour there is a short walk back and a longer one. DO THE LONGER WALK! It is seriously worth the extra 30 min, and you get to see bonus caves and very nice landscapes.

This was the most amazing caves I’ve ever seen, and is definitely a must see if you ever visit Slovenia!!
Remember to buy a guided tour ticket in advance. Our tour guide, Vesna, was just the best, really good at explaining and telling stories about the caves!
You are not allowed to take pictures inside the caves, which really makes you take in the experience.
There are good facilities at the visitor center, where you can buy food and souvenirs.
We will definitely be back the next time we visit Slovenia

Although it's not allowed to take photos in the caves (the place is on the UNESCO list) you are guaranteed to have the greatest experience of your life. To my mind, it is a far more authentic and less commercial attraction than the Postojna cave...
REMEMBER TO BUY THE TICKETS IN ADVANCE!!!
Elżbieta Zygmuntowska — Google review
Definitely worth the visit.
From the meeting point we had to do a short walk to the cave entrance at which point the rules were explained and the groups were formed.
The initial sections of the cave weren’t that interesting but the canyon area is truly amazing. You can hear and see the water rushing through.
Compared to Postajna Cave, this one was much better organized. Being less popular also contributes to a better experience.
Marcio Medeiros — Google review
Very impressive. The tour would remind you of lord of the rings. Also very different from Postojna cave but definitely worth it. Guide was in English and explained well however sometimes not good to hear due to the environment or echo. The doline is very pretty and there are viewpoints or tours that you can follow by yourself. Recommended to buy tickets in advance.

We visited the Skocjan Caves recently, and it was an incredible experience. The natural beauty of these caves is awe-inspiring. The underground chambers, stalactites, and stalagmites are a testament to the wonders of nature.
The guided tour was informative, and our guide was knowledgeable about the geological history of the caves. The highlight was definitely the enormous underground canyon with the rushing river. It felt like being in a different world.
The organization and facilities at the site were excellent, making the visit comfortable and enjoyable. However, one thing that disappointed me was the prohibition on taking photographs inside the cave, it would have been wonderful to capture some memories of this remarkable place.
I would also caution against visiting the souvenir shop on the premises. The salesperson there was unfriendly and seemed disinterested in helping tourists, which was a stark contrast to the overall positive experience of the caves.
Despite these drawbacks, I highly recommend visiting the Skocjan Caves to anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature and geological wonders. It's a must-see attraction in Slovenia.

Trsat Castle, a 13th-century fortress located on a hill above the city, offers stunning views of the Rjecina River valley, docks, Adriatic sea and Krk island. Originally built by Frankopan dukes of Krk, it was restored in a romantic neoclassical Biedermeier design in 1824 by Irish-born count Laval Nugent.
it’s a bit of a hike to get here, but it’s absolutely worth it! the castle is beautiful and has great views and opportunities for beautiful photos. (it’s also free, which is always nice) very cool historical sight. i really
recommend the restaurant that’s in the castle.

Sweet little castle (not too big). Nice people, you also can enjoy some drinks in the middle :) Getting in and onto the tower is for free. From the tower you can see whole Rijeka! 👍🏼
We were there on a Saturday and simultaneously it was Victory-Day in Croatia. Yet it wasn't too full of people :)
We liked it there. Around the castle there are also many little cafés, bars, a winebar and ATM.
We got hungry and went to "Pizzeria Pampas" (5min walk from there). Really good pizza and with a good service.
If you go to Trsat Castle do yourself a favor and wear nice clothes :D Everyone is dressed up there.

The place boasts a stunning view of Rijeka, complete with toilet facilities and a lovely bar. My wife ordered a Caipirinha (a Brazilian drink with cachaça), and it tasted just like the original. There are plenty of outdoor tables offering the same breathtaking view. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there; it's perfect for taking great photos and to simply sit and relax. I Highly recommend it.

Beautiful walk up to a stunning place with views over the entire city. The walk to the top will make you feel dead and alive at the same time! Loved the bar within the ancient ruins of the castle. Drinks are cheap and service friendly but slow given they are so popular. The surrounding town is quaint and cute with views over the whole of rijeka, really stunning place to catch some sun, culture and a drink!

Totally worth the trip. If you're driving there you should know that there's no dedicated parking lot but you can park by the road on the way up. The views from the castle are breath taking and they have a lovely cafe in the castle and several before the castle. During the week it's not crowded but there place is not big so it probably gets crowded on the weekends.

Probably the best observation deck in Rijeka. Very cozy place. There is a fair there and very beautifully decorated for Advent.

It's a magnificent castle. From center many stairs that can be a bit challenging to climb, but the view from the top makes it all worthwhile. Inside the castle, there's a restaurant, and the only negative thing is that I was hoping for a slightly larger one.

Fantastic! Great views and free public toilet and nice bar. You can access the famous pilgrimage stairs. Really worth visiting

Paulicarus tends not to review ruins etc. But having got the No2 bus up for a whole 2€ each we popped in. No entry fee and great views. Took photos with Madge, Norma and Liza....and it is a castle with a bar! ( wake up and take note English Heritage.) Easy walk from bus stop. If I was still fit I would do the 570 steps up from below. Got to 50 yesterday and said "stuff this."

No enterance fee. The view from the tower is really nice. I've read some reviews where other tourists reached the castle by stairs. There is another route from where you don't need to climb stairs

Taking somewhat couple of hundreds of steps going up there to the castle worth an amazing view on Rijeka. Castle isn't big but its nice and was free to enter. Inside there's the Cafe where you can have cold drinks or beer or coffee with a spectacular view on the city and coast.
Predjama Castle, located 9km from Postojna in Europe, is an impressive fortress that was built within a cave on the side of a 123m cliff. The castle's four storeys were constructed gradually over the years starting from 1202, but the majority of what can be seen today dates back to the 16th century. Its location and design make it appear impenetrable and it features restored living quarters as well as dungeons and even a secret tunnel.
Predjama castle is located approximately 15-minute drive from the highway E61 and 10 minutes from the Postojna Caves, so it is convenient to visit both in the same day. We purchased combined ticket (Castle+Caves) for approx. 40 EUR per person. Parking was not difficult to find, however we arrived relatively late at around 16:30 (castle was closing at 17:00), so I imagine during the peak hours the situation might be different.
There are no guided tours inside the castle, instead you get an audio guide (included in the ticket price) which was available in many languages (at least 15). The explanations were helpful, straight to the point and relatively short, so for me that was one of the best audio guide experience. It took us around 45 minutes to properly explore the castle. Normally castle is open until 17:00 but we were leaving the premises at around 17:15 and no one was pushing us out.
It does indeed look magnificent as almost the whole castle is covered by huge rock. You get to explore many different rooms, some of them looking more like caves and others like actual livable rooms. There are some nice viewing points of the valley at several terraces located in the castle. It is definitely worth to visit as there are not many "cave castles" around the world!
There are couple of restaurants in the proximity of the castle and restrooms near the parking lot.

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

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

Absolutely beautiful castle surrounded by stunning scenery. It has a fascinating history.
I recommend coming early because it can quickly get crowded. Also bring a hoodie and good shoes as it can get cold and slippery in the castle.
There is a free audio guide app that is essential to the experience. You can download it near the entrance as there is free wifi for just that.

Great looking castle with a really nice audio guide included in the price and with a free app if you don't want to hold guide by your ear al the time. The guide really gives a nice value as it points a lot of interesting solutions they used in the castle to use the rock and Cave merging with the castle

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

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

Great experience visiting this historic castle. We got tickets at the door as we visited in low season but I would suggest reserving tickets online to make sure you do not miss out!
Shaun Attard Biancardi — Google review
Really nice castle built into the cave. The day we went was quite crowded and a bit overwhelming. However, this is not something you want to miss if you’re in town. Here you are given a self guided audio tour, offered in many languages. The castle itself is well curated, but be careful because the stair cases that are connected to the cave part of the castle are very slippery and many people fell. It’s best to go slow and hold on to the railing.
You can access this castle by taking the free bus. This bus comes from the train station - bus station - predjama caves - to the castle. Check the website for the times.

One of the nicest castles i have visited. The castle is located inside of the rocks and that is truly a unique experience to see this. We had an audioguide and were very interested. In every room you can see old furniture, weapons and armour, ... At the end of the tour you'll go inside the rocks behind the castle. This was something i have never seen before. Really worth a visit. The lady in the gift shop was really friendly. (and there's a cat!!)

A truly amazing Castle with a beautiful view. It was very interesting listening to it’s history (they provide audio players). We bought tickets at the small shop when we arrived. If you visiting with babies make sure you have a carrier or just hold them. Lots of stairs (Castle is inside a cave basically). I cannot imagine living in those times in that Castle, it’s just amazing to picture everything in your head. If you are near by, make sure to make a stop here. Is worth the visit!

This medieval castle, which is the largest cave castle in the world, is still intact after 800 years. You'd wonder how they managed to attach a castle to a cave when cement, screws and drills hadn't been invented yet. I had an audio guide explaining different chambers/ rooms. Beware that there are many steps and uneven paths.

Stunning castle that is located in a cave and surrounded by a farming village. The place is definitely worth visiting when in Slovenia and takes an hour to get to from Ljubljana by bus. Worth noting a cab is needed from the Pastojna bus station to the castle. All the shops were closed as we went during off season.
Caves are stunning as well as Predjamski castle. Shuttle bus to the castle start at 10am although castle is open from 9am. Timetable isn't on the web site.

Bled Island is a small, picturesque island that is home to an adorable church and a few other buildings. It can be reached by boat from several lakeside locations, but its best to take a trip out there if you want to capture the island in all its glory.
Bled Island, located in the heart of the stunning Lake Bled in Slovenia, is a must-visit destination for any traveler. This charming island, with its iconic Church of the Assumption and the surrounding emerald-green waters, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. The tradition of ringing the church bell for good luck adds a touch of magic to the experience. I must mention here that the boat ride cost 18 euro and entry fee of the church is 9 euro which seems a bit overpriced to me personally. But, this is a great experience.
Bled Island is a captivating destination that offers a serene and picturesque environment. The boat ride to the island is a delightful experience in itself, providing breathtaking views of the lake and the surrounding mountains, aka Julian Alps. The Church of the Assumption is a historical gem, though the climb up the 99 steps can be a bit challenging for some. Overall, Bled Island is a beautiful and tranquil place that leaves a lasting impression.

Such an amazing view. When visiting ljubljana, you better passby lake bled for this amazing view. Very picturesque and instagram worthy.
They have boats (manually maneuvered) which are quite expensive (15eur) if you wanna have a quick visit to the lake bled island which hosts a church. The island alone is very small and you can literally finish it within less than 10min. But the important feature you are paying, is the view. Especially if you are into taking shots. If not, then basically nothing to see on the island and just take some good shots around the lake.

This is a total let down. There is nothing great on the island. Just an ice cream and coffee shop. Views are better of the island than from it. The pletna boat is a tourist trap at 18 euro a head. It's a rip off. If you don't have Fomo, then avoid this waste of time. Go for a trail instead from where you can see the lake nicely.
Go to the castle and enjoy the view of the island. Much better.

If I’m honest, this is a big let down and a rip off to get onto this tiny island for nothing much to see. Spent eur18 to take the boat and another eur12 to go into the church and museum (I saw old posting states price used to be half of that). I’ll not recommend to visit.
Lake Bled is a stunningly beautiful scenic lake surrounded by mountains and forest, with an island that houses a historic church. The greatest attraction of the lake is its exquisite blue-green color. Mild thermal springs warm the water to a swimmable 22C (72F) from June through August. There are numerous places to rent boats, paddle boards, and take photos of the lake from all around.
Stunning place with a fair bit to do, close to lots of activities as well. Row a boat out, do some swimming, rent a bike and travel out, eat some food and relax, a lovely place to spend a couple of days.

Truly one of my favorite places in Slovenia. You need to take the boat to go to the island. It's a wooden boat driven by man power. You just sit there and enjoy the view and the moment. The island is delightful. The church (one of 3000 in Slovenia) is beautiful and if you ring the church bell you get your wish. You can also go the the Church Tower that I skipped as I have a fear of height, my friends did and loved the view. The ice-cream shop has a great selection and I loved the raspberry cheesecake brand.
Truly a must visit

As majestic and beautiful as it is down in the pictures! This is our second trip and our timing could not have been better! No tourists, no crowds! We visited on a Sunday in February, streets were empty but boats to the island and all attractions were open. Weather was very nice! We enjoyed a great quiet walk all around the lake of 6km path. We took the Pletna to the island, had coffee there, walked around and enjoyed the magnificent scenery! A beautiful and a must see attraction if you have never been. Even in the winter, it is beautiful!

Nice scenery but very overrated compared to other lakes . The gondola ride to the island is super expensive ($18 per person ). Better to rent the boat yourself but be careful to not go close to these gondolas as they are ready to charge your 100 euros if you even touch them . The island is nice but again overpriced for a small church with wishing bell and a small bell tower . The bled fort is also overrated .

Life goal retire here. Reminds me of my grandfather’s cabin in the mountains of New York, USA. Ah it was so beautiful. Water really is a blue green color. It’s not camera filtering trick in photos.

There are few beaches around the lake, and you can even rent a Sap, or small boats and reach the castle's island at the middle.

Looks like something out of a fairy tale and is in a very serene setting. It obviously is is a popular vacation destination by virtue of all the nice lodging going around the lake. There is a trail around the lake, but we chose to take a boat to the island, then hike up to the castle. But it into a very big lake and there were people walking and biking around at a leisurely pace. It is every bit as beautiful as all the pictures you have probably seen.

Photos and videos taken in May 2023. I took a bus from Ljubljana to Bled. The bus ticket was so cheap during the weekend. I bought it from bus ticket office in Ljubljana and paid €2.20 (included 60 cents processing fee). Bus ticket from Bled to Ljubljana was €1.60, bought directly from the driver.
It was raining when I arrived at Bled. Eventhough my pants and shoes were wet from the rain, I was very happy that I visited Bled, beautiful lake with amazing mountains view.
Bled Castle is a medieval castle located on an island in Lake Bled, Slovenia. The castle was first mentioned in 1011 as Castellum Veldes and has been rebuilt and restored multiple times over the centuries. Today it is a tourist destination with a museum, restaurant, and wine cellar.
There is an exceptional view over the lake Bled from this castle. I highly recommend to go there if you visit the lake Bled.
There is a road which you can go by car to the castle. But the parking lots are limited. We visited the castle in April and we were lucky to find a parking lot. I think during the summer, it will be very difficult to find places to park the cars.
There is high slip to reach to the castle.
The castle has an entrance fee. The entrance fee for adults is 12 Euros and for seniors and students are cheaper (I think 9 Euros).
There is a honey 🍯 shop. I strongly recommend you to visit the shop. You can find honey with different tastes and flavors.

Castle of Bled is one of the most beautiful place in the world.
You can park near the castle with car, but rarely you can find parking place, because there are usually a lot of people. The other way to come by walk and park near the lake, it’s not so easy too, but fortunately we found a parking place.
The castle is on the top of the hill. You can buy the ticket near the entrance. You can drink coffee or eat something inside the castle, if you want and of course you can buy some gifts in the shop. The view is amazing nice from the castle wall and from bastion. Definitely worth to visit :)

Very nice and historic castle with unique position. However the magnificent view on lake Bled is the only positive thing you can get for the entrance ticket to castle area. Asking 17 euros for adult is too much for offering so little... Also parking space below castle is expensive with 3 euros per hour. I guess that this place became too commercial.

There is this sweet souvenir shop where they print your name on handmade papers. If not to buy its a cool store to visit.

Amazing views of Bled from all directions when inside the castle. There was only a small line to get in when I went on a weekend in March. Tickets were 11 euro for a student which is fair in my opinion. Parts of the castle that you should definitely make time to stop in to include the cafe (amazing views if you get a good table by the walls, and good to try the traditional Bled cream cake, which is around six euro), the printing press (you can get custom printed items from an old style printing press, like magnets, bookmarks, pictures etc. on home crafted paper), and the upper walkway for amazing views of both the inside of the castle, and of the town and mountains next to the castle through the windows and viewing ports. There is also a gift shop, chapel, small museum, and toilets available in here.

We chose to drive up in a car hire and park just below the castle. There were a few spaces and reasonable pay and display prices. There is a nice small coffee bar right on the edge of the castle in the courtyard with the amazing views. Quite expensive for a lemonade but you’re paying for the view which we felt was worth it. Worth asking for student discount even if you don’t have a student pass but are at school and over 14.

It's over priced and the staff isn't really kind, they were rude with us, compared with the Ljubljana Castle which is much better and costs 50% less. The view is beautiful but only a few things to see in the castle. There are many nice Castles around Slovenia which worth to see and costs much less!

One of the main attractions in Ljubljana that cannot be missed. There are multiple walkways up to the castle from the old town through the forest. Alternatively there is a funicular or also parking spots available right at the castle gates. Castle courtyard and the restaurants can be accessed without the ticket. Only necessary for the tower platform and the museum. View from the tower is worth the climb up, as you'll get a 360 degree view of the city. Also the snowy mountains in the distance are visible at good weather. The castle itself is very modern renovated, so don't expect a medieval vibe there. Some good restaurants and wine bars located in the castle, as well as some photo galleries.

Oldest castle in Slovenia. It was built in 1011 and that's only a reason to visit. It is well preserved and most part can be visited. Two rooms served a museum with exhibits and one a a gallery featuring local artists. One room is dedicated to printing with a replica of Gutenberg wooden press.
Great views of the lake bled and the island. There is a restaurant where you can sit and enjoy the view

Always wanted to go here. Best moment of my life. The stairs to the top had me breathing like a pregnant cow but it was worth it. There are however, other options to get to the top so you can explore that. You need tickets (which are affordable) to get in and there have audio guide qr codes throughout the castle to help you listen on your phone. An awesome way to wrap my year!

Awesome place!
I like how it's looks now, super accurate and cleaned, and people taking care of the castle. It's respectful!
Here is the perfect view on a lake, mountains, and villages around.
Nature makes it unbelievable!
Also here is a small cafe on a territory with good coffee and an amazing view. And a big restaurant inside the castle.
Good and clean toilets and whole territory.
The Soteska Vintgar, discovered in 1891, is a popular tourist attraction located about 4km northwest of Bled village. It features a wooden walkway that spans over the Radovna river for almost a mile and provides breathtaking views of rapids, waterfalls, and pools. The highlight of the gorge is the 16m-high Sum Waterfall.
We visited on their 1st day of reopening, April 16. Unfortunately due to construction, a few roads are closed so it is emphasized that you should take bikes or walk. We hired a local shuttle to take us there and back to Lake Bled. When we arrived at the entrance, we saw 15-20 cars had taken the same side route that we did to the main parking lot by the entrance. If you get there early, you may get lucky and a parking spot. Otherwise, I’d listen to their recommendation and take a shuttle, bike, or walk there.
The gorge is well worth the visit. It took 45 min with two kids (8 & 6) to walk through. Pictures don’t do it justice. The kids really enjoyed the walk and it’s very safe and easy to do.
At the end of the one way hike, you need to take a hike back to the entrance (min 45 min back), unless you took a shuttle. We took a shuttle and the pickup point was about 10 min past St Katherine church.
Highly recommend doing this trip if you are staying in Lake Bled - even though it isn’t as easy as when you can simply drive your own car there.

I don't think pictures or words can describe the beauty of this place. It's just amazing. It's a great place to spend a few hours in the nature, to just relax and enjoy the sound of the river. Notice that the starting path is a one way travel. To return to the parking spot, you have several options. We chose the red path, which is a 45 minutes walk through the forest. This was also a really nice activity.

We went there with friends and kids. It was november and after rains. Few days ago we visited Tolminska korita which had bigger wow effect on us. This is nice walk but not worth 40 eur, incl. Parking. We used the red path on the way back via Blejska dubrava. It is a regular walk through forrests, nothing spectacular. There is a nice bridge and waterfall at the end of george but that is all. Also the parking was quite chaotic. I have a feeling this is a tax for being close to Bled.

Located just a few kilometers from Lake Bled, the gorge features a stunning landscape carved by the Radovna River over millennia, with dramatic cliffs, waterfalls, and crystal-clear water.
It is around 1.6 kilometers long and is known for its wooden walkways that wind alongside the river, providing a safe and accessible path through the gorge. As you walk along the trail, you'll encounter picturesque views of the rushing Radovna River, cascading waterfalls, and natural pools.
One of the highlights of the gorge is the 13-meter Šum Waterfall at the end of the trail. The waterfall is a beautiful sight and a great spot to take photos. Throughout the walk, you'll also encounter small bridges and viewing platforms that offer different perspectives of the gorge.
It offers a serene and picturesque experience away from the bustle of Lake Bled. The trail is well-maintained, making it suitable for visitors of all ages and fitness levels.

Ridiculously beautiful walk along the river showing nature at her best with running water, waterfalls, moss, a variety of flowers and clean fresh air. The walk is fairly easy and not far. Worth noting however that it is a one way trip and that you are either going to do a 45 minute. Modernate walk back (which is also gorgeous as the path we took had views of the city Bled and fields of cows) or you are going to pay for a taxi. Best come prepared for a longer hike.
Eden Theron — Google review
Very beautiful trail, well maintained and absolutely worth the few coins. One small thing that we would have liked to know up front is, that it's only a one way trip. So you walk a beautiful gorge trail made of wood pathways on the cliff side, just to walk back via a random trail and road which isn't all that beautiful. There is an opportunity to take a transit back to where you started the gorge but we did not take it.
We had a really good time enjoying the beauty of the gorge.

Everything it advertises and more. This Stunning piece of nature is a must see when going to Slovenia. It's a paid entry but I get why the route is clean and well maintained. You have to pick a time slot so that it doesn't get crowded and that seems to work! Nice views and you have a mixture of sun and shade, ideal for warmer days where you will appreciate the spray from the falls

Very beautiful place. Must visit if you are nearby. It takes about 2 hours to walk red (shorter) route. We had P1 parking, which is near entrance. It's quite small so in weekends and holiday season P3 is recommended.

Very nice distress. Tickets can be bought online or on the spot. It's more convenient online. parking is available before the rush hour. The walk is not very difficult, also suitable for families with children. it is possible to return via two circuits. It is beautiful.
Marek Šolc — Google review
It's worth a look, not sure about good value for a family. I can see the costs that they have so it could be fair price but seems a little high as a family. The path is fairly tight so you can't feel like you can stop and people who are constantly stopping especially on the bridges are blocking the way for others etc. Everyone was polite but it does take away from the experience, then you add hard hats and brisk staff.. I'd probably preference a less popular hike in the beauty which really is abundant in the area next time.

A must do attraction!!
We visted the gorge at the end of April 2022 and thought it was the perfect start to our trip to Slovenia. The gorge is breathtaking with the boardwalk taking you right over the crystal clear water. We then crossed the river and returned via a trail on the West side of the gorge, taking around 90-120mins in total. Highly recommend this site.
Benjamin Moye — Google review
Beautiful walk in nature for 2-3 hours. We did it right after the rainfall so the water was wilder than normal. Put on decent shoes (sneakers will do, but no flip flops). There is a place where you can drink halfway. Two options will lead you back to the entrance. Option 1 is shorter (2.7km) and faster, but has more elevation, including various stairs. Option 2 is 4.1km, and easier to do. The down side of Option 2 is that it will take longer. Since it is close to Lake Bled, the combination of both on one day, works very well.
Hubert B. — Google review
10€ each and another 10€ to park. Not worth 30€. The gorge is beautiful, but considering it's not that long and it's only one way so you have to walk a different way back. It just isn't a good value. Lots of other beautiful hikes in the area that are free.

A most beautiful canyon and lovely hike along it. It's one way only (down the river), thus going back requires going uphill along different route. About 2-3 hours all together

Lensereflection Photography — Google review
A breathtaking, must visit place in all seasons. Since it is one of Slovenia’s most popular attraction is does get very busy. If you really want to enjoy your time in the Vintgar Gorge it is recommended to get there either right after opening or about 2 hours before closing. Avoid weekends and holidays, if you can. When I say it does get busy I mean it! The gorge is one-way. On the way back to the parking lot take the green trail. It’s a bit longer than the red one, but the view is well worth the extra steps! Enjoy!
Tamás Fekete — Google review
The natural beauty of this place is simply brilliant. Visiting in September was a great decision; while the car park was bustling, we had a serene walk through the gorge with no crowd hassles. Getting tickets at the main entrance was a breeze.
It will take you around 2-3 hours to the whole round trip as the actual gorge is on a one way system. I highly recommend following the green route to get back to the car park. It includes some nice views and grazing cows, sheep and horses.
For prices: parking was €10 and entry is €10 per person. If the main area is full, there is also a extended car park accessible by a free shuttle bus that I believe comes every 20 min.

Beautiful gorge with expensive parking, 10€.
Be aware, that the gorge boardwalk is one way. You have to hike back to the parking lot over half an hour. There is a shuttle option, but the hike back is not so hard. There are at the end to nice location to rest. One directly at the end of the gorge's boardwalk and one 10 min walk away.
Hans Gruber — Google review
Now this is a place one definitely needs to be well aware of the details n route. 1. The tickets and walkway along the Gorge is ONLY ONE WAY. at the end of the Gorge one has to Trek back from a long circuitous route through forest. Pleasent and enjoyable only if one is prepared for the 4.5 km trek.

BUY ONLINE TICKETS IN ADVANCE! That's the best tip I can give you in case you don't want to spend an hour in the line. Also, arrive as early as possible. We were there at 9:30 and there was already a lot of people. Still, it was super worth it! Also: bring hiking shoes and know that you might get a bit wet (it's not that bad). Totally worth it to pay it a visit!

The Triple Bridge, a trio of impressive bridges over the Ljubljanica River in the heart of Ljubljana, is a popular spot for coffee and snacks, as well as vendors selling traditional Slovenian souvenirs. The bridges are linked by stairways on each side, giving easy access to the riverbank's lush gardens and historic buildings.
Prešeren Square is a beautiful and imposing square in the heart of Ljubljana. It is named after the Slovene Romantic poet France Preseren, whose work has had a significant impact on Slovene national identity. The square is home to a monument to Preseren as well as a muse, and it is an excellent place to linger while in Ljubljana.
Beautiful town square with awesome view of Ljubljana Castle especially at nite with the lights. The Ljubljanica River running right next to it makes it an encridbly scenic venue. A must see in Ljubljana🇷🇸

Serves as the central square of old town Ljubljana, can be reached via the Triple Bridge from the two square, filled with amazing collection of stores, restaurants and national monuments and dotted with artworks.

Let coated in Ljubljana, the capital.of Slovenia. Beautiful architecture as shown in the photo. There is a river running through with three little bridges across it. Views right up into the mountains and hills. Plenty to see and lots of photo opportunities. Ljubljana is a tiny capital city so it's all compacted into a small space so easy to get around. Lovely and clean, English is spoken quite widely. No shortage of places to eat and drink.
You have to pay to use public toilets so good idea to have some euro coins l.

Every capital represents the country and its history, so being in Lublana is a must have for someone who visits Slovenia. Old city is absolutely fantantic. The symbol of this city is a green dragon, so mandatory point to visit is Dragon Bridge, but there are more... Tromostovje, Castle, Mestni Trg and still many more to see. What I like the most is the evenings here, when many events happen on the streets, so everyone can find something attractive to him. Definitely I stayed too short in this city, so I come back one day again.

I'll never travel to Bratislava without this trip planner again
The atmospheric Old Town of Ljubljana is home to a variety of accommodation, from rooms in central hotels to apartments and villas high up on the hill overlooking the city.
The apartment is easy to find after arriving at the bus station. Across the bridge is The Central market and all the places are at walking distance. Lot of eating place around. Apartment is cozy,
clean, comfortable and very quiet. Will definitely recommend to friends.

The Dragon Bridge, also known as the Ljubljana Four Dragons Bridge, is a pedestrian-friendly art nouveau bridge built in 1900 that is famous for its series of dragon statues. The reinforced concrete construction makes it one of the first bridges in Europe to use this material, and the dragons at each corner are a popular part of the cityscape.
Ljubljana is a very green, beautiful and clean city. The people are just as friendly as one could hope for. We had a pleasant stay and felt very welcome. This also was true for our dog, very dog-friendly city and people.

The Dragon Bridge, adorned with famous dragon statues, appears in the most recognizable images of Ljubljana. If you haven't been photographed next to a Dragon Bridge dragon, you can hardly claim that you have visited Ljubljana. The four dragon statues, which look slightly terrifying and almost real are a masterpiece which has been exciting imagination since the bridge was built.

This bridge, though undeniably beautiful, offers little beyond its visual charm. The constant flow of cars and bikes can be bothersome, leaving little room for leisurely enjoyment. I recommend exploring nearby pedestrian-only bridges for a more fulfilling experience.

Ljubljana, a city steeped in warmth and romance, captivates visitors with its enchanting illuminations. As dusk settles, the city transforms into a picturesque haven, adorned with twinkling lights that weave a magical tapestry. The illuminated bridge, an architectural gem, gracefully spans the river, casting reflections that dance on the water below.
The majestic castle perched on the hill adds to the city's allure, standing as a testament to its rich history. Lit up against the night sky, the castle exudes a timeless charm, creating a romantic ambiance that permeates the entire city.
Ljubljana's welcoming atmosphere, coupled with its illuminated landmarks, provides a truly enchanting experience for those seeking a romantic getaway.

The iconic bridge of Ljubljana, the dragon statues are really amazing. Unfortunately cars also can go through the bridge, it would be more gorgeous without cars.

The Dragon Bridge and many other Dragon themed places pay tribute to Ljubljana's historic and legendary heritage.
Legend is that Jason and his Argonauts, after stealing the golden fleece, passed through the region what is Ljubljana today. There Jason encountered a dragon monster and slayed it.
The dragon legendarily over the centuries transformed from a monster to the powerful protector of the city - now present on top of the coat of arms of Ljubljana.
Stefan Schikora — Google review
This bridge is in honour of Jason who was the founder of Ljubljana, apparently with his Argonauts they killed a dragon, hence a legend was born. Definitely the most ornate bridge crossing the river, shame it is a road bridge.

The Dragon Bridge in Ljubljana is a reinforced concrete bridge that began to be built in 1888. At that time, however, it was still called the Jubilee Bridge of Emperor František Josef 1 and was built in the style of the Viennese Art Nouveau. It was not until the beginning of the twentieth century that the Dragon Bridge got its name from four dragons that guard every single corner of the bridge. Dragons are one of the most beautiful images I have ever seen. Very simple, yet absolutely brilliant

Old centre of Ljubljana is full of charms and people from all walks of life. A joy to explore.
Dragon Bridge (Zmajski most) I particularly liked as it is guarded at every entry point by mystic statues of green dragons - this experience I Lin my case was amplified as it correlates to my Chinese zodiac sign so I instantly felt drawn to it. Just around the corner I was compelled to try out a craft beer bearing the same insignia written in pronunciation wordage as Loo-Blah-Nah.

The Celje Castle, situated on a hilltop, boasts of an extensive medieval history exhibit and offers stunning panoramic views of the valley. It was once the permanent residence of the powerful counts of Celje - Slovenia's most influential dynasty. Visitors can also explore downtown Celje and visit the Princely Palace to learn more about this prominent family, including seeing their skulls. The castle is an excellent destination for those interested in Slovenian history, as it played a crucial role in shaping its identity.

Fantastic castle. We have been to a few restored castle’s during our travels and honestly some of them have been over restored to the stage there is no authenticity. Not the case with Celje Castle, we enjoyed our time here, and even with some restoration you still get a feel of how that castle used to look. Brilliant views of the valleys and Celje, worth the €7. We walked from the parking at the rail station. Special mention to the gentleman on the front desk who was informative and friendly and the lady serving in the coffee shop again friendly and makes an amazing coffee. Definitely worth a visit.

Visiting this castle is a 1 to 2 hour experience. There is a lot of information about the history of the castle and the counts of Celje. In the interior there are some interactive displays and small exhibitions. Of course you have a fantastic view over Celje. Just keep in mind that it's mostly a castle ruin (still impressive).
If you don't want to travel to Maribor to visit "the world's oldest noble vine" you will find a sibling of this vine tree in the castle garden.

The Old Vine House is a must-visit destination in Celje, Slovenia, where you can indulge in a glass of wine from the world's oldest living vine. This remarkable plant has been producing grapes for over 400 years and it is located near the Hungarian border. Aside from tasting some great wines, visitors are also encouraged to explore the charming old town of Maribor which is within close proximity to the Old Vine House.
We visited spontaniously this place in Maribor on our way bay home to Hungary. It is amazing to know that the world’s oldest living vine is about 400 years old and it is in Slovenia very close to the Hungarian border. We took part in a small wine-tasting session, too. It was an excellent program. I advise you to discover the old town of Maribor. It is super cozy and cute to take a walk there. And the Old Vine House is also very close to the city centre.

Personal is very friendly and they will advise you about the wine. You can also try all wines before you buy.

Ptuj Castle is a stunning 12th-century fortress situated on a hilltop that boasts an impressive collection of historical art, weapons, and instruments. It showcases various architectural styles ranging from the 14th to the 18th centuries but still retains its majesty. Visitors can access the castle through Grajska ulica, east of Hotel Mitra, which leads to a covered wooden stairway and the Renaissance Peruzzi Portal (1570).
Small but lovely palace museum with beautiful panoramic views of the land. Artifacts telling about the history of the area. Nice gift shop for souvenirs selling typical gifts and wine. You buy your entrance tickets tyere also. Worth the visit. A short climb 5-10 minutes up the wooden stairs and then you are there. Park and Ride was a short distance from the bridge.

Nice castle that adds to a scenery of town, as it is different from each angle you look at the town.
Inside is nothing special to see unless you are a fan of art. There is no bar or coffee place and for me that is vote down. Many ways to improve, until then the entrance shall be at max 5€ and not 10€ as currently.

I had a great time visiting the castle. The exhibitions are great if you want to learn more about the story of Ptuj.
You can also buy some souvenirs.
The staffs are frendly and last but not least, the view is amazing !
For a price of 8euros per adult, you have to stop there when visiting Ptuj !

The entrance is a bit pricey given how forgettable the top floor is. The musical instruments section and the view of the nearby tower make the visit worthwhile though

Beautiful historic castle in the middle of Ptuj.
The castle is equally beautiful photographed from any angle and the city is qually beautiful when photographed from the castle too.
Ticket is not expensive, you can buy here magnet gift too.
Inside the castle you can find a music exhibition too with musical instruments (autopiano, organs) and some of pieces allowed to use or just start a music with some buttons. You can find a different exhibition at each level. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
You should visit this castle, it's nice.

You could easily spend all day here. Late may was great as there were few people around. You get great views and access to no less than three museums. Including the music museam which has some interactive activities for kids. The weapons museam. And of course the castle itself with plenty of art and exhibitions. Don't miss this if you're here.
Zotter Schokolade is a must-visit destination for chocolate lovers. Located in Austria, it's the country's largest chocolate manufacturer known for its weird and wonderful chocolates as well as its fair-trade and ethical practices. The facility offers tastings, chocolate making demos, and even features a petting zoo and garden.
One of the greatest experience in my life! Be ready to taste 300 types of chocolate!
Be aware that the best chocolates are in the end so don’t try too much in the beginning because you will super surprised after 😍
I loved this place!
The zoo was also very nice and the Zooter toast as well in the coffee shop(you should have one after 2 hours of a chocolate tasting!)

Wow! It was beyond description
The theater at the beginning of the tour was nice, the sound system is good.
Then the highlights of tasting chocolate, not only they taste amazingly good, but also the presentations are all creative and interesting! We couldn't make it until the end there are too many of them hahaha
The zoo outside is pretty cute, we also were able to put our dog in the dog home they provide😄

Great place to go on a trip! The factory (museum) is very nicely decorated and you can try more than 200 types of fine chocolates there. Behind the museum is a promenade where you can walk and see various animals such as alpacas, cows, peacocks, donkeys, chickens, sheep... a very interesting and fun experience!

Family loved it. You don't hear children very often, that is to much chocolate. You get a spoon and it is like all you can eat, but be carefull, there are 300 types of chocolate to taste.
Oh, buy tickets online and keep it till you leave the shop. You need it three times.
At the end is a huge chocolate shop....good luck there🤣🤣🤣🤣

delightful experience. worth the money as everything is made locally and ethically. the staff kept everything extremely clean and always kept a smile on their face. the toilets were also very clean and easy to find.
the whole location is huge so families can easily spend a full day there without getting bored - many stations on the playground for adults and kids!
almost mistook my boyfriend for one of the donkeys tho
Julia Pf — Google review
Absolutely worth the price! Amazing experience for children and adults as well. You can basically eat as much chocolate as you can, more than 300 flavours, from the raw cocoa beans to the chocolate fountains and hot chocolates. Do not eat anything before that, and also only try small portions because you can easily overeat yourself right at the beginning. Also there is a huge chocolate shop at the end, prepare yourself and your wallet, you are definitely gonna leave "some" euros there ;)
Also the zoo is amazing and huge, there are many fun activities there, basically it is true: you can spend a whole day here. Highly recommended!

The whole site is created with so much humour and love for people and nature. The animal park is full of art and has a funny “graveyard of ideas”. The factory starts with a sweet film about the origins of the different beans with attention both to the people and their social situation. Chocolate, from the whole process, is offered while walking through the factory. If anything the experience is almost too intense. There are many impressions. Everywhere there is built-in lightness and fun, from how the robots behave to the lightbulb chocolate moving around in hanging baskets. Generosity, consideration and inventiveness is reflected in every detail

This is one of the destinations that you must have a full free day to enjoy your visit,,
Unfortunately our reservation was later in the day, and we even arrived later, but they were so polite and welcoming and didn’t care that we were late to our reserved time and let us in,,
They had a tour, but we skipped it and went on our own, it was for great and delicious, there is like 300 different things to taste, from the actual coco beans, to the liquid chocolate and finishing with their products and mix of flavors,,
The atmosphere was great, as when you walk from a section to the next, it feels like a new experience yet to have,,
There is also the store where you can buy the whatever you liked during the factory tour,,
And at last, we didn’t have enough time to fully enjoy the farm, but even a quick walk by was so nice,,
Definitely a must visit place,,

Toooooop experience! Love it!!! 300 different tastes of Chocolate, everyone is super friendly and they even have restaurants and animal park and activities. You can easily stay there for the whole day.

I can't begin to explain what kind of a place this is. The whole experience is legitimately breathtaking. From the informative video that starts the tour, where you learn so much about Zotter and their background. The chocolate factory itself is so fascinating, with more samples and tasters than you could ever imagine, as well as so much incredible information about the processes and different thought processes going into the chocolate. The edible zoo is amazing, with lots of great animals that you can tell are really well cared for, the zoo is really an attraction of itself. Finally, the running chocolate is fascinating, with so many delicious treats to sample. I truly can not reccomend this place enough, it was magical!
Owen Glasby — Google review
I would recommend for everybody either with or without children it is a good place to experience deliciousness and happyness. You are able to taste around 300 types of chocholate which is really amusing. Before or after the taste you can walk through in an animal zoo, which is also quite nice and you can meet with several types of animal there and also have fun on the playing grounds.
Borbála Balázs — Google review
Make sure you don’t eat any chocolate for days before you come here because you’ll definitely have a chocolate overdose after the tour! You’ll get an insight on how the Zotter chocolate is made and get to try an incredible amount and variety of chocolates during the 90 minute tour.
We’ve been here twice and both times was great! Our kid also loved it and it’s overall just a fun experience and activity.
Plus- the canteen area has excellent espresso which we went back for again later as it was just really so good! And the gift shop is worth going to to buy some of the chocolates you liked best during the tour.

It's one of the best 20€ spent in Austria (the cost of a ticket). You can eat as much chocolate as you actually can )) and the variety is just amazing! Everything is made with such love and attention to details! And the sense of humour! Gosh, I found a place in Austria where the sense of humor is so sharp! The cemetery of ideas is just hilarious! The zoo place is also amazing! So great to have a walk there after the whole day eating chocolate 😁. Thank you. We will be back !

The experience in Zotter Schokolade is amazing. You can try variety of different chocolate and even coffee beans. You will learn how cocoa bean turns to delicious chocolate in different taste. Beside the factory, there’s a farm can visit which also included in the tickets. There’s no visitors when we visited so it’s like a private farm with lot of kids playground. Must go attraction.
Tony Ng — Google review
I have visited the the chocolate factory today with my son, there was Mr Jossef Zotter himself, great atmosphere and you can eat chocolate until you die, there’s a graveyard for you in the chocolate factory yard. I love the idea of visiting a chocolate factory, the view is amazing, there’s a farm park with animals and many activities for little and grown children! If you want to have peace and harmony visit in a workday.
M G — Google review
Extraordinary destination! Whether one is there with or without kids it is always a great experience!
BUT for parents with kids, it can really be a whole day trip, since there is a huge outside to explore with a petting zoo, polygons(one for younger kids and one for older), small stream to jump over, and many other interesting installations.
Well, anyone even without children can appreciate the outsides as long as they like nature.
The inside is amazing on so many levels. The way the factory is built to enable visitor to actually see the whole process is wonderful.
The movie Played in the beginning of the tour was interesting even for our 5year old (we explained the important parts).
Every single part of the tour is well thought and executed in an interesting way. With robots serving you fancy praline, endophine balls rolling through a Rollercoaster to get to you and ejection shots hidden in corners with alcohol to boost you a bit... And so many other funny elements, too many to list.
It is really a must see!
Vanja Muskon — Google review
Every time we visit, Zotter proves to be top experience, when it comes to chocolate production, museology, education or environmental issues.
It is a unique opportunity to taste various kinds of chocolate in various production phases and to spend a day in the outdoors.
The zoo, botanical garden and the playgrounds visit are a must when visiting.
Only thing missing is the restautant that was previously a part of the complex, but there are some food options at the enterance

Oh god what a great experience! First 20 min you watch a documentary about Josef Zotter and his beggining with the chocholate. Beautifully captured. Then you have tastings. It takes up to 1 hour and a half. The chocolate is so delicious. I would definitely go again. At the end we went to the shop and bought lots of chocolates😄

A very large selection of different types of chocolate and chocolate products. Everything is delicious and you can eat as much as you want. Admittedly, you can't eat a lot of chocolate because it's quite sweet and you'll feel sick, but I certainly didn't regret my visit to this chocolate factory.
The Fire Tower is a noteworthy historical structure in Sopron, constructed during the 13th century. Its spiral staircase, consisting of approximately 200 steps, leads up to a balcony that offers panoramic views of the town and surrounding countryside. Once utilized as an observation post for spotting fires, it now serves as a popular tourist attraction with an entry fee of around 1200 HUF per adult. The ascent to the top may involve some caution due to narrow stairs.
City on the palm of your hand, spectacular scenery, view fabulous, museum is full of beautiful artefacts... Certainly worth visiting

I would say this represents the focal point of Sopron and with the great 360 degree views from the tower is definitely worth a visit. But you can combine this scenic experience with cultural interest by including the lapidarium which contains carved stone elements, some dating back to Roman times. Also if you go down to the basement you are standing on part of an ancient Roman road.
Miles Macdonald — Google review
Definitely the symbol of the city! Indeed it is really a gorgeous monument, which can be seen from different parts of the city! Anyway, it would be literally amazing if you can even acces it to enjoy an amazing view of the city but I am not 100% sure this is not possible to do!

The biggest site in Sopron, the fire tower is a must visit. A former tower used to spot fires. You have to pay something like 1200 HUF to visit for an adult. There are only stairs to go up, but its not that many, and you actually do not go to the very top of the tower. Along the way are some visuals and descriptions that explain the history of the tower and the city. At the top the views are great, overlooking the entire city and countryside.

Schönbrunn Palace is an important and popular tourist destination in Vienna,Austria. The exterior of the castle is brightly painted yellow and its gardens are meticulously maintained. Within the palace walls are many ornate ceremonial rooms, including a world-famous rococo maze.
Beautiful palace. Great place to visit during the summers to enjoy the enormous gardens and grounds surrounding of the palace. The sculptures and fountains designed are stunning. From the topmost point it has a great view of the city. The garden is enormous even for a quick walk it would take hours. The trees are arranged in a maze like structure and there are zoos and greenhouses inside along with a Japanese garden. Would recommend 🌻
Olivia Joy — Google review
An Austrian palace with big gardens, rose garden and a botanic garden. Easy to get using public transportation.
I took the 22 rooms self-tour (Imperial, 18€), and got audio guide included. Most of the rooms are not special or beautiful, the last 4-5 are the interesting rooms.
If you have 2-3 free hours, it can be nice (but not a must). I was on February and the plants are in hibernation. I believe the gardens are beautiful on the spring / summer.

It is one of the most beautiful and famous palaces in Vienna. This place has a great historical background. This place is amazing for a walk 🚶♂️ or run around. The garden is very beautiful and is very well located. The palace inside is also very beautiful. A must visit place when you are in Vienna or around.
Umaid Ullah SAHIL — Google review
Spectacular building and gardens, really very big and as I realize, perfect for runners - the surface, shadows, small hill to run up. Grand tour with the audio guide was very worth it, a bit of history that makes the whole story interesting. I suggest to book tickets one day in advance though!
Peter Sliacky — Google review
A superb palace in every way, very well designed. The yard is huge where you can spend the whole day without realizing the notion of time.
Unfortunately, I didn't have tickets to view the interior of the palace, but I am firmly convinced that it is worth to se it.
I recommend to buy the tickets in advance because they are limited.

Free entrance to the exterior area. It's a beautiful place for a walk in the city surrounded by nature. The Christmas market was open on the 1st week of January, it was lovely. I recommend booking tickets online if you wish to visit the palace inside.
Βαΐτσα Γαλ — Google review
Got to the ticket office when it opened at 8:30am first available opening for the palace was at nearly 4pm. I highly recommend booking your ticket(s) in advance otherwise just walk the grounds and see what you can. The 'other' gardens this time of year aren't worth the extra money in my opinion. If flowers were in bloom it'd be worth it, but otherwise see as much as you can for free. If you want to do the zoo do the combo for that and the palace. Zoo is currently under a little construction. If you're on a bit of a budget I recommend leaving the grounds to find food for something more affordable. I highly recommend getting there early if you're interested in walking around to take photos. It gets really busy after 10 am so if want photos without a bunch of people there go early. Also take some euros with you. The bathroom at the ticket office isn't free but there is one in the palace as well as one in the park.

Just amazing! An amazing thing: we did not have time to visit everything (we were left with Desert house and Palm house plus the Maze) but it closed by 16:30 and we ran out of time (we started at 10:00 touring everything on the Great Tour plus). But we came back the other day and tickets were still available, which was amazing! So you can come back anytime and finish your tour the other day :)

One of the highlights of my visit in Vienna. It was just too hot in the whole place because there are no shades. But the views are awesome. Definitely a Muss-see-attraction in Vienna.

Beautiful palace .. fantastic tourist attraction in Vienna. The palace looks stunning in the night lights. The inside tour of the palace is nice. Photos are not allowed inside the palace. All the antique items and treasures of the palace are preserved very well. Great place to visit. Such a long area of the whole place. It might even take a full day to see the complete palace. The palace viewing tickets are sold here. A bit expensive though. Tickets are also sold to cover the half side of the palace only at half price. A lot of souvenir items are sold at the exit. The Christmas market is held here in the grounds of the palace during Christmas time.
Karthikeyan S — Google review
The palace was amazing. There was a handheld small device which provides audio guide throughout your tour in the palace and tells you interesting stories of the royals who once lived there. I got the imperial tour which let me toured through most of the rooms but I regret not getting the full tour because the palace was truly magnificent and I would love to see more of it.
I visited the palace on 1st November, which is also a Viennese public holiday - All Saints’ Day. The waiting for 3 hours for me but crowd regulation was really well done. When it was my turn to go in it wasn’t crowded and I actually had the space and time to enjoy every bits of the palace. So try to get tickets prior to arrival and you will not have to wait.
But even if you have to wait there is no worry as you can wander around the garden of the palace like I did (where I took the pictures attached) and walking about the small let me oversee the entire Vienna. The scenery and gardening was amazing.
There was a small castle, which once was the dining of the royals, on the top of the hill and has now been turned into a coffee shop and an observatory. But be noted that you can only go all the way up to the observatory if you have bought the most expensive ticket type. I did not get that so I missed the opportunity to go up.
Overall, I would say this is a must-go when visiting Vienna for the first time. You learn a lot about the local history and can enjoy amazing view. :)

Great palace, lots of content in, and around it.
Takes at least full day to see it all, and being spread on a great area, there is lots of walking!
Due to lots of tourists, there might be few hours between you buying a ticket and entering the palace.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. The whole family spent the day here, just wandering around the castle gardens. It is worth taking the long walk to the back of the castle grounds to see and eat at the coffee shop. Had cake and coffee and a rest before coming back down the hill. It took almost 3 hours. No charge for entry. Cheers big ears

I have to mention we have not been inside the palace (there is an entry fee if you are interested to go) but the outside and the park is pretty itself and free to visit and a really nice walk too! The view is amazing and if you visit during spring/ summer everything is blooming! Not far from Vienna city center and definitely worth a visit. Bathrooms available.

Went late afternoon as was doing other things.
€24 euro for standard ticket which will get you in the palace on a audio tour. Nice tour and some history along with it, about one hour or less to complete.
You can go to the right side of the palace and walk the extensive gardens etc for free, which I didn’t realize initially as some other adjacent gardens you can pay for.
Once you reach the back of the gardens you can go part way up the larger monument, to go to the top for a better view is €5 more. For the view it’s nice.
Scott Walmsley — Google review
This place is magnificent. It is free to enter and roam around the vast land area. There is a costly ticket at different prices (depending on which part/s of the palace you wanted to tour) to enter the palace. There is no line when we bought the tickets, but somehow there’s a lot of people freely roaming around the park, only few would buy tickets and enter the palace. Before entering, people need to surrender their personal belongings and get their audio phones for an audio guided tour, with different languages. It would took some time to finish the tour depending on your ticket, but the cheapest would be around 30 minutes to finish the tour. It’s not really time bounded as it depends how fast or slow you pace across rooms. Photography and filming are generally not allowed, one needs a permit for such activity inside the palace. There are souvenir shops at the ticketing area, at the end of each guided tour of the palace. Overall, it was a great experience.
For tourists who does not know the history of Austria, they may not find the guided tour fulfilling so I may suggest to read some history facts about Austria and Europe, in general, or just roam and take pictures around the park and the garden for free.

It was my second time visiting the palace though we remained in the gardens without visiting any of the rooms. Highly recommend purchasing tickets ahead of time and downloading the app. The weather was phenomenal so there were people walking, exercising and enjoying the beauty. We lived the labyrinths and followed the app walking suggestions to take in the sculptures and photo ops.

This is a very beautiful castle with fantastic gardens. You will need several hours to spend time here and will definitely be rewarded for photography efforts as there is very nice contrast to use. The souvenir shop was one of the better ones and had several unique items to purchase. Just be prepared, these places, including this one, definitely aren't cheap with merchandise. It is still a place worthwhile to visit, and I recommend it to others.

A must for visiting Vienna. Manicured gardens and a well narrated prerecorded tour of the residence. Plan for timed tickets with a 60 to 90 min wait after purchase which is enough time to walk the grounds. Tours can be a bit crowded, but worth it! Bring cash to use the bathroom at the entrance.

Although I never got to see the inside, I enjoyed the grounds and the lovely Easter Market they had outside. My visit to the palace was tater spontaneous and hadn’t purchased a ticket online. Upon arrival, we found that there was over a three hour wait to enter the palace once the tickets were purchased. Highly recommend you purchase that golden ticket in advance to save you the wait.

If you wish to do the full tour probably best to book in advance. We managed to do the basic entry state rooms tour without delay but it was a 2hr wait otherwise, this bit really doesn't take long to view.
That said seeing the actual external architecture & vast grounds was the best bit and that's free to enjoy.

For the palace it’s a very huge palace with so many rooms. Each room had their own story and design. Beautifully decorated, with different color and furniture also the artwork in every room. I recommend to took a longer tour, so you can get to see the whole palace plus the audio guide provided insightful information.
For the other part of the palace they have an enormous size of garden. The garden are free to enter except some like the orangery or the maze. We spent a few hours walking around the gardens. I know it would be beautiful in the summer when the flowers are in bloom.
It will be very busy during weekend/public holidays. So make sure to buy the ticket beforehand.
The Hofburg, originally an imperial palace and now home to the Austrian president, is a vast and ornate baroque structure with extensive interiors. It features elaborate marble foyers and hallways, as well as lavish living quarters for the Austrian monarchy. The Kaiserappartements, once the official living quarters of Franz Josef and Empress Elisabeth, are especially stunning in their chandelier-lit opulence.
If you want to know more about the young Empress Sisi who has fascinated everyone, this is the museum you should not miss. We did the full ticket with audio guide and silver collection. The guide is well done and everything it explains is interesting, the silver collection is cool you see the ostentatiousness live of royalty but a quick look is enough. You can see the Empress's dresses and all the rooms preserved and decorated with the style of the time, her office, bathroom etc ... the truth is that it is worth it and interesting.

It is an impressive and imposing building that houses a variety of exhibits. I honestly can't understand the purpose of all these massive internal staircases that take up almost half of the palace. Finally, the Greek antiquities are as if they were simply stored there and not as if they were being exhibited.

If you like knights, royal horses, jousting and such the Imperial Armory is a must see! A collection of 125 suits of armour carefully catalogued by owner and circa. The museum/palace itself is work of art with grand halls, staircases and paintings. Take a peek at the elegance of long ago. The entrance and self-guided tour with audio was included with my Vienna Pass

This is a must-see in Vienna as it is more than thrilling and the history behind it is glorious. I suggest visiting it in the morning as it is less crowded. An interesting fact is that the president now lives in that castle.
It is truly a masterpiece!

The place is MASSIVE! It has so much history and so many things to see! From the silver museum to the library to the sisi museum to the imperial rooms! It's a lot of fun but the tour is really long (about 90 minutes or so). The audio guide experience is really good! I got to learn a lot of things about the history of Austria and about the royal family! Some criticisms are that we can't take pictures at parts of the place (like sisi museum and imperial rooms) and that we can't connect Bluetooth earbuds to the audio guide remote. The amount of things you learn there is so much worth it though and the place is very well priced! I had a lot of fun there.

The Hofburg in Austria is an absolute gem that takes you on a captivating journey through history. As an avid traveler, I have visited numerous landmarks, but the Hofburg stands out as a place that truly encapsulates the essence of Austria's rich heritage.
I was immediately struck by the impressive architecture and the sheer scale of the palace. The blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles creates a visual feast for the eyes, transporting visitors to a bygone era of opulence and grandeur. The attention to detail in every nook and cranny is simply astounding.
The Hofburg's location in the heart of Vienna adds to its allure. Surrounded by charming streets, delightful cafes, and vibrant cultural attractions, it's the perfect starting point to explore the city. I recommend taking a leisurely stroll through the Burggarten, a beautiful park adjacent to the palace, for a moment of tranquility amidst the urban buzz.
Whether you are a history enthusiast, an architecture aficionado, or simply seeking a taste of Austria's imperial past, the Hofburg is an absolute must-visit. It is a testament to the grandeur and cultural legacy of this remarkable country. Prepare to be enthralled by its timeless beauty and indulge in a journey through Austria's rich history.

A majestic place. Walking around the territory, you can appreciate the scale of the buildings, their architecture, decoration. And feel the greatness of Vienna. It is here that you can realize that this place once belonged to the kings))

This is also one of the iconic tourist attraction in Vienna.
Once a winter residence of former Habsburg dynasty but now serve as the workplace of the Austria's President.
Better to come here during daylight or early morning as you will see the magnificent beauty, the architectural structure and of course to escape from the throng of people.
At night, the lights will add to its beauty.
It was close when I come here.

If you have only got time to visit one attraction in Vienna, make it this. The palace complex houses paintings by the likes of Klimt.

Loved it the first time I came here in summer of 2019 and still loved it again after four years. I’d say I prefer the summer time for this type of visit because it’s a vast area of space that gets quite windy and cold in January. Otherwise, you’ll be able to explore all the vast options when the weather is good.
However, if you don’t mind the cold, the grounds are yours, albeit there’s not much to see except the museums. Perhaps this is when a tour guide would be most helpful.

Didn't go inside due to a tight schedule but the external architecture of this building is simply majestic and beautiful. Nevertheless, I was contented to be able to witness this marvel from the outside. There are also many beautiful buildings and churches at walking distance from Hofburg. Spend a day here walking around and you will not regret it

This place is amazing right in the middle of the city it’s a huge palace complex with several different museums and attractions all within the complex, we did the Imperial Jewels, Sussi Museum & Spanish Riding School in one day was excellent and all the attractions were included on the Vienna Passes we purchased. What a lovely building and day.

Must visit to feel the spirit of imperial Vienna, need full day as castle, park, zoo and some other points on the park territory. There are also touristic train around the park - for those who can’t walk so much! In Castle very good organised audio guide! Very good cafe and all territory with good desserts and coffee)))

This is spectacular place you must see when in Vienna. The architecture, decoration is very lavish and stunning, I really love it, it shows the Majesty and royalty of the kings. We visited the museum and the apartments the ticket was around 16 euro, the treasury ticket is separate.

Hey everyone... The Hofburg is the former principal imperial palace of the Habsburg dynasty in Austria...Vienna itself is beautiful, you can find everything here... but for me it was mainly about the copy of destiny.... The relic and actually the weapon that killed Jesus Christ...

Amazing historical place. Sweet weather, and a marvellous atmosphere. Definitely loved everything about the place including the people and the events organisers. Indeed there are a lot of historical places and museums in Austria but Hofburg palace is a special one. A must visit location!

So many amazing buildings in Vienna, but this is one of my favorites. It is simply overwhelming when you see it in person. Impossible to capture its awe with pictures, must be seen to be believed. I didn’t do the tours inside as I had a busy schedule, but I’m sure the inside is as beautiful as the outside. A must see in Vienna!
Belvedere Palace is a museum in Vienna, Austria that contains a wide range of art from the Middle Ages to today. The collection has particular importance for its holdings of Gustav Klimt paintings, which are some of the most beautiful and iconic works in the whole of Austria. The palace and its gardens make for a lovely place to spend an afternoon, and it's worth visiting if you're interested in Austrian art.
This is a must visit location in Vienna! The gardens are stunning in their elegance and memories of a bygone age abound in the architecture and layout.
The views of the hills around Vienna are wonderful.
You have beautiful water fountains to calm body and mind, and there's a lovely cafe at the Upper Belvedere where you can sit indoors / outdoors and relax whilst contemplating life in Vienna.
In addition, last, but certainly not least, you have the Gustav Klimt exhibition and the palace itself.
Time well spent, I'd say!

The complex of palaces and gardens Belvedere is just a masterpiece. Two palaces (upper and lower), a complex of fountains, landscape design, a huge square. Therefore, this place is always crowded. Gorgeous art exposition of Gustav Klimt, including his most famous works. If you decide to see the palaces from the inside and see a collection of paintings, then it is better to take tickets online (the difference is noticeable). On Belvedere it is necessary to have at least 5-6 hours. It's worth to see it by own
The buildings look amazing as well as the garden. Sculptures and fountains located along the paths are pleasing to the eyes.

Book online in advance ! we were lucky to get tickets close to the time we were there otherwise would have had to come back later. Saw ‘The Kiss,’ amazing! Beautiful interior to the building- and lots of signs to tell you the history of the rooms as well as the art.

*Note, I didn’t go into the Museum. This is about the gardens. I didn’t feel like going to see “The Kiss” which is the main reason you go to this Museum.
The gardens are absolutely spectacular. All three levels of them. The bottom level is fun to kind of walk through the hedges and find a little spots. Some of them have sculptures and some of them just have park benches but you don’t know till you enter. The two main fountains are beautiful and super picturesque one side you can see the beautiful palace on the other side you can see Vienna making both sides beautiful in different ways. You can easy spend a good 2 hours just walking and enjoying the gardens

My visit to Belvedere Castle in Vienna was a captivating journey through both art and history. This splendid palace, with its magnificent architecture and stunning gardens, is a true gem in the heart of the city.
The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the incredible collection of art housed within the castle. The Upper Belvedere, in particular, showcases an array of masterpieces, including works by Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. These paintings are not only artistically significant but also culturally and historically important.
The beautiful gardens, with their meticulously landscaped design, provided a serene backdrop for the castle. The views of Vienna from the terraces were absolutely breathtaking, making it a picture-perfect spot.
The staff at Belvedere Castle were informative and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply seeking a taste of Austrian culture and history, a visit to Belvedere Castle is a must. It's a cultural treasure trove that offers an unforgettable and visually stunning journey. I highly recommend it to anyone exploring Vienna.

Absolutely stunning palace. If you are short on time, do just the upper palace. Keep in mind entry is per the time given for your ticket. They don't take you in early and only give you a 20 minute window if you are delayed. The exhibitions are on three levels and it takes at least an hour to see each of them properly, 90 minutes for each level if you want to do justice to the beautiful paintings, sculptures and the rooms of the palace. The lower level has medieval and modern art if that's your thing. The gardens between the palaces are lovely too.

A beautiful palace with astonishing architecture and stunning gardens! The interior isn’t what you would expect as the palace was restored after being bombed in WW2. There is a beautiful ballroom made of marble on the second floor. The palace is filled with paintings from different periods and styles and can be considered more like a gallery.

It's hard to put this in to words how much this is worth visiting. You need to like art and you need to have patience to walk around and enjoy the culture. It was spectacular to see Klimt's the kiss. The architecture is awesome and the grounds and garden are worth a walk. So much to do, just pay it a visit

We were fascinated by this incredible piece of Vienna’s history. Upon entering from the main gate you have this huge space with a lake and manicured flower beds.
At the entrance of the museum you must deposit your backpacks in a special room at the "bag storage" and you can choose which direction to take first. The visit inside the museum has no time limit, you can go inside for as long as you want. It really is a must-see tourist attraction. We recommend making tickets online so you can skip the line at the ticket office.

The place to see The Kiss of Gustav Klimt. 🥺🥺❤️❤️
Make sure to get to the Upper gallery for this. Get your ticket online to skip the queue. The first floor baroque art ceilings are just marvellous and I couldn't get enough of staring at them. U can also see other modern artists like monet. A lot of art to admire and a beautiful interior. I went there during a very hot summer day and it was air conditioned. Enjoy the visit.

The palace is really beautiful, and the gardens around it are nicely designed for a pleasant walk. They've arranged everything well. Just remember to check when the palace is open before you go. That way, you can enjoy both the stunning palace and the lovely gardens to the fullest. It's a great way to spend your time!

Massive Palace and massive garden area. The architecture was unique and the maze garden took a lot of effort. The gallery inside was so satisfactory, especially the Gustav Klimt exhibits. There were a lot of people but it was not really crowded. A must-visit place in Vienna.

Really enjoyed this museum. A diverse collection of styles in a beautiful setting. The Klimt exhibit gets a lot of attention especially The Kiss, but many of his other works are just as interesting and thought provoking. Easy to explore this museum within an hour to 1.5 hours. The grounds are a nice stroll around too.

This was a stunning museum I would really recommend visiting. Getting tickets online in advance is preferable however if you don’t you can have a lovely stroll around the gardens outside. We only visited the Upper Belvedere which was stunning in itself - especially for the amazing Klimt collection but I would love to visit the Lower part next time.

One of the must see places at Vienna. There is Upper Belvedere, Lower Belvedere and the gardens. The gardens are free to visit. There are spread tickets for upper and lower palace. The upper place ticket is $17, but you can get a 2 in 1 ticket for $24. The famous “The Kiss” painting by Gustav Klimt is on the Upper Belvedere. It’s a must see. The gardens and the small lake are beautiful and worth the visit if you don’t want to go inside.

We only visited The upper Palace at Belvedere as this has a great art collection in particular the works of Gustav Klimt and many other great works of art. The building itself is spectacular as it was built as a Palace and never occupied as such, now serving as an Art Gallery. It also has a very nice cafe which looks out onto the gardens and Lower Belvedere.
There is, of course, a gift shop where one can buy memories at all budget levels.
Joseph Ryder — Google review
Very impressive grounds and buildings - worth a trip just to walk around outside. Of course, the main attraction is Klimt's "The Kiss", but there are many other wonderful works of art. It's not as large as some other galleries and as such, it only took us about an hour and a half to look around. We went towards the end of the day and it wasn't too busy.
We had the Vienna Pass and couldn't see how to pre-book tickets on line, so went to the ticket sales on the day to find out we didn't need a ticket and to just show the Vienna Pass at the main entrance.

Totally cool place to visit and see the architecture. The statues were very well done and detailed. The cafe was busy but looked like they had good food. There were people also taking wedding photos here which I thought would be a nice background. A very cool place to visit with historical relevance.

Lots of art, with something for everyone. I visited Upper and Lower Belvedere, Lower was much quieter (and a better cafe) on a 2 in 1 ticket. You could also get a 3 in 1 ticket for their other site, but after two days walking around Vienna and its palaces my feet couldnt take any more!

A beautiful palace to visit. The sun was shining and the gardens were beautiful! I would recommend you book tickets in advance as it can get very busy!

We bought our tickets online for the savings and grabbed coffee at a Greek restaurant across the street to wait. This is a nicely sized museum and we were comfortably able to see everything in the upper Belvedere ticket in a couple of hours. The Klimts are gorgeous and well displayed. Make sure to not miss the historic religious pieces that are in a climate controlled room off the lobby!

A wonderful experience as expected. An amazing building in stunning park. Baroque windows. Paintings clearly described in English. It is here that you can see the Kiss and other paintings by Klimt. We purchased our tickets online, which do require picking a time slot. We could stay there all day.

Beautiful Palace- the art collection well worth the visit. Beautiful building. Some areas in the grounds a little run down/messy which was surprising. Get there early and you'll get to view the Klimt collection without the crowds. We got there for opening time and it was getting very very busy as we left.

We bought tickets online and there was no waiting time. But there was a small issue, they were renovating the part where you can store your luggage, so it was an extra effort to take it back to the HBf, to store it and to come back. The online ticket was valid for one hour, so you need to be careful to not miss it. The museum itself is a bit overrated and 17€ is really too much for it.

You can see Klimt's ``The Kiss'' and ``Judith.'' It also has a wide selection of works by Egon Schiele and Klimt, making it a recommended museum in Vienna.
The garden is also very large and beautiful.

Don't buy ticket. Just go visit the garden.
Well the palace is huge and is ticked. However, the garden behind it captures its essence is what I had heard. The garden is open for all for free. It has beautiful sculptures, a lot of flora, and fountains. The sculptures are unique and perfect for time travel. The garden is extremely well kept and has flowers like tulip and lavender. One can breath the fragrance in the air. A lot of tourists stop here and so should you!
You can sit around and take a moment to absorb the beauty.
There's a small cafe there as well which too is open for all. They seemed to have a decent collection but they don't allow takeaway... They are strictly "dine-in" only. We were in a rush so couldn't sit in, but if you have time - the desserts looked good

I loved the Palace itself, it’s so gorgeous it’s actually a little overwhelming. The view is breathtaking to the point I felt like I was not paying enough attention to the art displayed inside.
This is one of the best, if not the best overall museum I have ever been to. Unfortunately my visit has been a bit tainted by the way I was greeted at the entrance. I was told to use the lockers on the left hand side, to my surprise those required a €2 coin to be inserted, which I did not have so started panicking a little, understandably - this visit was the highlight of my trip and having spent close to 8 hours travelling to Vienna, tiredness started catching up to me. I saw no mention of this on the website. In fact, I checked the FAQ prior to my visit as I contemplated heading to the hotel first, having been on the move since I arrived in Vienna earlier in the morning. For those interested, from Belvedere website: Yes, you will find lockers, free of charge, at all Belvedere locations.
How come was I directed to paid lockers? I can only imagine this was an attempt to get even more money from those visiting. Extremely disappointing and distasteful. I eventually headed to the cloakroom, where I was able to leave my backpack indeed free of charge.
I am the kind of person who always visits the museum gift shops to have something to bring back the memories, however on this occasion I decided not to purchase anything, purely because of the locker situation.
The historic city center of Vienna, known as Historisches Zentrum von Wien, is a magnificent sight filled with elegant buildings, baroque castles and parks. The 19th-century Ringstrasse boulevard is the highlight of the area with numerous incredible buildings adorned with fascinating designs, carvings and statues. The location is exceptionally clean but can be overcrowded during holidays making it difficult for taxis and cars to pass through.
A truly beautiful sight. There are several buildings in this location. All with amazing and intriguing designs, statues, patterns and carvings. The area is very clean. Taking pics and stopping to admire can be uncomfortable as the area is extremely busy(as it should be). So better go in the morning or early afternoon on weekdays. During holidays, the area is decorated beautifully. Taxis and cars will find it difficult to pass the streets here due to excess pedestrians. All in all, amazing place, definitely a most visit when you are in Vienna.

A truly beautiful area of Vienna. There are numerous buildings in this area with amazing architecture,sculptures, patterns,museums and carvings. The area is very clean and has lots of opportunities for taking photos. The area is most busy in the evenings and nights when everyone comes out. During holidays the area is decorated beautifully and has many Christmas markets around the area as I experienced when I visited here. In my opposition from what I saw the best one was the large Christmas market near and around St. Stephens Cathedral in the historic city centre. I would definitely recommend this area as a must visit when you are in Vienna.I would definitely visit this area again when I am in Vienna

No other city in the world can be like Vienna. It would take three life times to see it all, and then a fourth to see what you have forgotten! Don't get into the tourist traps, but read about Vienna, get a good city map, learn some German, and venture out into the city filled with secret, small passages, Cafés, wonderful museums and very good food.

Cultural landmark, unique cultural heritage building, amazing cultural ornaments and colors,, even from inside you will find a great work
The Gothic cathedral St. Stephan's Cathedral is located in the heart of Vienna and boasts an ornate spire, catacombs, and a treasury museum. It is a popular Instagram spot for panoramas of the cityscape from either the tower or the outside.
Very very stunning church in the heart of the city. Made it there during mass in the evening, but will definitely be going back today to get the feel of the place during the day.
Amazing architecture from both inside and outside. It’s jaw dropping. And it has such an amazing/positive/calming energy.
The is no entrance fee to the church itself but if you wanna climb the tower and its 300+ steps or to see the catacombs you need to pay. Will add an update after I do the tours today.

Beautiful church, most of the main parts are free to visit so I can't think of a reason to not visit.
There are some parts of the church which you need to pay to enter, I paid for the catacombs tour and recommend that. I also paid to go up the north tower, you get good views of Vienna and a good look at the amazing tiled roof, however I am not sure it is worth the asking price of EUR 6 - take a look at the photos below and decide for yourself whether you want to pay to go up.
You can only buy tickets in person at the church, you cannot buy them online in advance, also they only accept cash, no cards.

Be fit if you're going up the south tower worth it for the view. North tower little lift ride to the top great to see the tiled roof up close. The catacombs tour was good. I got out of the afternoon heat for half an hour, which is very informative. Highly recommended to buy an all-inclusive ticket

St. Stephen's Cathedral is an architectural masterpiece that left me in awe. The intricate details of its Gothic design, including the stunning stained glass windows and towering spires, are truly captivating. The interior is equally impressive, with its majestic altar and historical artifacts. Climbing the South Tower was a highlight, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Vienna. A must-visit for history enthusiasts and architecture lovers!

This was an incredibly interesting and beautiful place to visit. There are several options for tickets, we chose the € 20 all inclusive per person one.
This allows a visit to the Cathedral itself plus both the North and South towers. One has an elevator and the other over 300 steps.Even though we could access both, we went with the elevator.
The view was fantastic, both of the city and the rest of the Cathedral. Then we had a guided tour of the crypt, absolutely brilliant and a great tour guide. The tour was in German and English and highly worth taking.
I would highly recommend this tour and if at all possible, try to be there for 10 am at least before the crowd.This part of Vienna is incredibly busy with tourists..
Also tickets are not available online and must be purchased in person in the Cathedral. This is cash only, as is the gift shop.

Behold the majestic splendor of Saint Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, a timeless masterpiece that transcends mere architecture to embody the very soul of Austria's rich history and cultural heritage.
As you step through its ancient gates, you are transported to a realm where the whispers of the past mingle with the echoes of the present. Towering spires reach towards the heavens, their intricate facades adorned with intricate carvings that tell stories of triumph and tribulation, of faith and fortitude.
Inside, a symphony of light dances through stained glass windows, painting the hallowed halls with a kaleidoscope of colors that inspire awe and reverence. Each step unveils a new wonder: from the grandeur of the nave to the serenity of the chapels, every corner holds a treasure waiting to be discovered.
But it is not only the physical beauty of Saint Stephen's Cathedral that captivates the soul. It is the palpable sense of history that permeates its walls, the echoes of centuries of prayers and praises that linger in the air. Here, amid the hushed whispers of pilgrims and the solemn strains of organ music, one cannot help but feel a connection to something greater than oneself.
Saint Stephen's Cathedral is not merely a building; it is a living testament to the enduring power of faith and the indomitable spirit of humanity. It is a place where the past meets the present, where the sacred and the sublime converge in a harmony that transcends time itself.
To visit Saint Stephen's Cathedral is to embark on a journey through the annals of history, to walk in the footsteps of kings and queens, poets and peasants. It is an experience that will stay with you long after you have left its hallowed halls, a reminder of the enduring beauty and majesty of the human spirit.

I recommend you to take all in one ticket. You can buy it inside, go to the left and you will see the entry to the South Tower. Buy a ticket and go to the North tower. To get there, go out and walk around the church to the left side. You will see the entry to the North tower. It was not easy to get to the top, pretty narrow staircase corridor and long way up. The reason why you should go to this tower first because it closes earlier (see photo). You can observe night city from the South tower only.

I had the opportunity to go inside and check out this incredibly historic cathedral located in the city centre of Vienna. Both the inside and outside of the cathedral are stunning and picturesque. It is free to enter the church but there is also certain areas of the church that you need too pay to enter. I definitely could have spent more time in here and would definitely do it again when in Vienna and definitely recommend stepping inside if you haven’t at least once for a few minutes. At the time we we’re here it was mid November and there was a large Christmas market set up in the city center and we were wondering around on the evening when the area was most lively. Definitely wish to come back in the future.

Check times. Closed for tourists during mass. Free entry but pay for central bit and catacomb tour. Very busy when we went around 13.30.
It is truly subjective as it does depend on how much churches and cathedrals you’ve visited. We have visited too many I think especially the ones in Italy and even in England, hence this was a bit underwhelming. Gothic design. Tick. Ornate carvings. Tick. Not all of the outside has been cleaned which is authentic I think. We could see how history and time have affected it. Black soot/smoke from centuries gone.
One thing to commend it for being different - amazing roof!! That, I love. ❤️

Wow, St. Stephen's Cathedral is incredibly impressive, its size is breathtaking. The beautiful Gothic building is a symbol of Vienna. From the cathedral tower is a wonderful view of the city, but I warn you, there are 343 stairs to climb and it is very narrow, but it is worth it, I went up in June at 36°C outside 🤣

Beautiful Cathedral in central Vienna. While you do not have to pay to enter the church, there is a fee to tour the entire inside of the church. The line was too long the day we arrived, so we did not visit everything. Still beautiful and can take great photos from the free area.

Wow. I'll be yet another person to add a 5* review to this magnificent church! Stunning in its exterior, the beauty manages to extend to its interior. We made it during a mass which was great to experience and then visited again in the evening. Let the pictures speak as opposed to my review, and in reality, if you're in Vienna you're probably going to visit :)
Ultimately, my only gripe is that they only accept cash for tours.

The church is beautiful! A must see in Vienna. I like that they have divided their tour into sections and prices and you can buy an all inclusive or just buy the ones that you want. We bought the cathedral and catacombs. Cathedral has a QR code tour on your phone that is very informative. The catacombs were amazing and a little scary. Must see. We wanted to go to treasury too but the timings didn’t work for us. Do check opening times because they seem to open and close for visitors throughout the day/week, depending on services and mass.

We loved St. Stephen’s! We decided to buy tickets to the catacomb tour and the South Tower and we felt that we saw plenty. I think we spent about 10€ per person total to see both.
We loved the catacombs tour. Our guide was very enthusiastic and gave us a lot of information about the catacombs. It was very in depth and in both German and English. You pay at the end of the tour in cash (they have change).
The south tower was quite a trek - not for the faint of heart or claustrophobic. The stairs are very narrow and you end up walking past people going the opposite way. It gets very hot as well, so I’m not sure I’d recommend going on a hot day. We went on a rainy day and it was cooking, but thankfully the windows at the watch tower were open with a nice breeze to cool down at. You pay for tickets at the entrance of the South Tower.

You must visit this cathedral when you are in Vienna. It is the most beautiful church in the city and probably in Central Europe. The exterior of this gothic cathedral was build from 1300-1500. It used to have the highest church tower in the world, and when you enter this cathedral you will be amazed on how much effort the Viennese put in building this master piece. This church entry is free. But you can also visit some of the paid areas of the cathedral

I think it is one of the most important cathedrals in Gothic architecture. It is truly a magnificent work, it also has ties with the Ottoman Empire. It was used as a shelter during Ottoman sieges, and its bells were also used to warn Turkish raiders...

I visited St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. It was a magnificent building with a rich history, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Strolling through its grand halls, one can't help but be awed by its beauty and the stories it holds. It's definitely a must-visit for anyone exploring Vienna, offering a glimpse into the city's rich past and architectural marvels.

Amazing gothic cathedral. The main cathedral in Vienna.
You can get an all inclusive ticket for 25€ to go up both towers, the museum and the catacombs or it's about 7€ for each thing individually. We just visited the catacombs as my husband had been up the tower previously. The catacombs are well worth the visit! The tour guide we had was very good. The tour was done in both German and English and very informative and the tour guide was very charismatic.

The construction began in 1137 and completed in 1578, however due to circumstances such as fire and WW2, it needs to renovate or reconstruct until to this time.
Anyway, this century old cathedral is one of the marvelous I've ever seen.
It is an iconic tourist spot located in the heart of Vienna.
The interior and exterior are jaw-dropping.
It is a free entrance and yet a long queue especially in the afternoon.
There is a portion inside the cathedral to purchase ticket entrance.
During my visit, a throng of people passes by and you can't concentrate nor roaming around.
It was such an honor to see, feel and experience a hundred centuries structural buildings.
Recommendable tourist spot but I prefer you to come here as early in the morning to avoid people.

Absolutely Devine church in the middle of Vienna city. Only a very short stroll from the underground of Stephensplatz Plenty of opportunity to take Photos’ Off this majestic church. You can go in side but must pay extra to go to the front rostrum of the church itself. Plenty of photo opportunities. Still under renovations. Cheers big ears

St. Stephen's Cathedral, or Stephansdom, is a stunning Gothic masterpiece situated in the heart of Vienna. Construction began in the 12th century, and the cathedral has undergone various modifications and expansions over the centuries. Its iconic spire, reaching over 136 meters (446 feet) high, dominates the city skyline. The cathedral's interior is equally impressive, with intricate stained glass windows, majestic altars, and a beautifully crafted pulpit. St. Stephen's Cathedral is not only a significant religious site but also a symbol of Vienna's rich history and cultural heritage.

Wonderful place for family’s time spending.
A wide range of goods for different time of season. A big variety of shoes and bags.
You can choose everything for eating and dinking for any type of wallet.
Also, a big advantage is a location. All interests and conveniences for disorder people are taking into account.
Several times have been there and will continue choosing this place again.
Enough space for parking, a few hotels are around.
Little consumers have a lot of privileges. This place is an inclusive area for shopping!

Even though the outlet was crowded (especially for a Monday morning), it was a pleasant visit to this outlet. It is really impressive that everywhere there are boards leading you to wherever you want to go. This is perfect, especially if you’re only visiting specific stores. The parking is FREE! That’s a plus 😁

A huge outlet 40 km from Vienna. If you don't want to spend the whole day here, before arriving, choose the shops you want to visit and mark them on the map. Everything is clean, tidy, you can drink coffee, eat a sandwich, rest. The prices are much lower than in regular stores...

Perfect place for those who search for brands with cheap prices, not all the items are an outlet, there's a new item but with super Discounted. Be sure that you have a ticket from ÓBB if you use a train from city to city, the Vienna transport Tickets are not working there.

One of the best outlets in Europe. Quality shops and a lot of good restaurants and cafes in the complex. They have most of the popular brands here. Only down side the the commute to the area if you are staying in Vienna. Specially going back at night. Since the traffics can get bad at closing time. I suggest leaving 1-2hrs before closing. Pls also check their operation hours specially holidays and they are close on Sundays. Overall. It is worth visiting specially if you have a 3 or more days in Vienna.

I love this place. I spent almost 2 days in Parndorf. I found some my favorite items with very good price.
The purchase should be paid by Euro.
Regarding TAX Refund, there is one office next to Burger King for Tax Refund Guidance & Exchange currency.
- If u have credit card, u can take Tax Refund in this office.
- if u dont have credit card, u need to do Tax Refund in the airport.
Highly recommend!

Best shopping experience and the largest discounts on some of the worlds largest brands.
The medieval castle of Devín offers stunning panoramic views of the Slovakian countryside, Danube River and across the border to Austria. The grounds surrounding the castle are also well-preserved and provide interesting historical insights into Slovakian Slavic settlement.
Nice views all around the castle. What i find interesting is the original character of the ruins has been kept. The cave has some interesting items on exhibition.
When at the top the view of the river is simply amazing. The climb is also not so difficult but at some points slightly steep. Ticket cost us 6 euro per person which is reasonable. Outside there is ample parking which is free.

Fantastic but relatively hidden gem just 20 min away from Bratislava. It has amazing views of 2 rivers merging on one side and beautiful hills on the other side. One can totally imagine the strategic location and importance of such a castle.
There’s plenty of free parking. You will have to take a short 10-15 min hike to the top for the best views. The tickets are reasonable - 6 euros for adults, 3 euros for kids and seniors. There’s also a family ticket for 12 euros that includes 2 adults and all kids under 14 years. Just about half way to the top, there are some nice interactive demonstrations led by castle staff. There’s small permanent exhibition in the castle. But the view from top is definitely the best highlight.
There are a couple of restaurants right in the parking lot that also serve ice cream.

Lovely castle and grounds. Stunning panoramic views of the Danube. Plenty of walking and steps.
Easy to get to from Bratislava. Catch the 29 bus from most snp. The stop is just under the bridge next to the road.

Just beautiful!!! Serene experience. We were on a short visit to Bratislava and we are glad to have explored this place. Taking the early morning bus to this place, the journey itself began beautifully and the place was just beyond beautiful. Nature at its best. The views of the villages, fields, river (where you can see border with Austria), forests, and the castle. It was amazing. The fresh air, clean water, greens everywhere.. filled my heart and soul with peace. Definitely a must visit place if you are planning to go to Bratislava. The premise has washroom facility, drinking water and lots of benches to rest. It's kids friendly too. Overall a great experience being here.

Sometimes you come across places of outstanding beauty, and this is one such place. Well worth the walk up and €6 to get in and walk around the ruins. I wish I had stayed until sunset as I imagine it would have been spectacular. You can feel the history of the area with each step. It must have been a truly imposing place in its heyday. I would 💯 recommend a visit

Amazing castle, with great views. Toilets are available to use inside. The entrance to the castle is a short walk up hill, there are benches along the route should you need them. We sat on one to have our picnic. The carpark is below the castle and there are restaurants there, ice-cream huts and a small souvenir shop. The entrance fee is not too expensive but not the cheapest castle fee we have paid. You can walk around the castle freely but there is also a guided tour. There are also interesting expositions as you walk around. All in all a good day out!

We got here for opening at 10:00 using the number 29 bus which was quick and easy. I recommend getting there for opening as it was getting quite busy as we were leaving.
The castle itself was impressive and the scenery was stunning, there was also plenty of information on the history of the site (and area), overall this led to a really enjoyable visit. Highly recommend.

We took the boat down and spent two hours at Devin castle, which was great! The place is very beautiful and there is a lot of text around in both Slovak and English. The well is especially cool, and they keep a bucket nearby that you can fill up and dump down. All of the views are amazing, and the site is super interesting. The only downside was that we went on a weekday and there were a ton of school groups running around, but other than that it wasn't very busy.

8 euros and 75 meters up. The climb is neither very steep nor hard. Great view of the Danube and the Morava. The museum is included in the price; we decided to skip them, but you have to buy tickets to enjoy the view.

Beautiful place, we went on a day trip to Bratislava and found this place. We had time to visit it. It pays to get in. Had a nice walk. It’s children friendly. Great views of the Danube and Morava, honestly I wasn’t expecting that. In the distance is the Bratislava skyline. There are a few other historical sites in there, below the castle. Devin is also cute little village, or rather a borough. Would recommend, also you can eat there, and go down to the rivers. 8-10km from Bratislava center, public transport or by 🚲.

Even though not much of the original castle is left, these ruins are absolutely worth a visit. Easily reachable by car or by public transport from Bratislava, this location offers a small museum, beautiful ruins and stunning views. The 'hike' up the mountain is also not as bad as it seems when standing at the parking lot. Another plus, especially in summer, is the drinking fountain installed on the central square of the castle!

This castle has a history dating back to the Roman period. There is currently not much aside from the structure but the view is indeed worth the price of admission. The castle commands a precious view of the river, town, and surrounding areas and it is indeed peaceful to watch.
