A beautiful path to walk along, lots of plants, a river and waterfalls. Better to start the walk near the Marmolada and take the train back as it's an uphill walk
Yigal Giladi — Google review
Really nice walking in nature, looks like canyon but currently closed. Access forbidden. Looks like they will open after reconstruction maybe in summer.
Ivan P. — Google review
It's a very busy, tourist and crowded place where busses full of people are dropped of every now and then.
There is a smelly tourist train which rides up and down the canyon, while it's not so wide, so you have to keep an eye on your kids when it passes.
It's a nice place but not wonderful or spectaculair. So paying 10 euro (3,50 for adults and 1,50 for kids) for our family to visit this place, seems very over priced to me to have a walk down a stream.
Overall I would not recommend going here since there are more places that offer the same or better experience with less people and totally free.
Dani?l Spierings — Google review
Beautiful nature, interrupted by paved road, though it makes it easy to walk with little kids. I don't like it that I need to pay for parking then I need to pay again for the entrance. Better to pay once then you don't feel being tricked.

Impressive Canyon. Unfortunately in July 2017 there was almost no water in the waterfalls coming fron the sides into the canyon. Possibly it is more a special that they freeze step by step to ice-walls more than they are in summer. The vertical walls, bridges, the small church are worth the entry fee.

Ok 4km return walk to a beautiful cirque in front of Marmolada. Lots of religious stuff if you are into that sort of thing. Strange to pay for the walk 3euro per adult, 1.50 per child but employs people I suppose. Can be quite cold because shady.

Could be a very nice and Beautiful place unless people who work there will get money from you twice. I came to enjoy the nature and found my self cheated by the ticket office there. This isue caused me a bad feeling and I could not enjoy from the place, I'm not recomend any one to go there. There is much more places to spend your time.

(Translated by Google) The Pedaga -Piz de Plaies lift makes it possible to switch between Kronplatz and Alta Badia. A very strategic consideration.

Amazing Mountains but does not feel like Italy at all! The first language is German, specially in winter! I visited in September to hike and in Jan to ski. I have learned Italian, useless! Some of the lift operators do not even respond if you day Buongiorno! I went for the experience of Italy, yet none! big mistake in that sense. In the hotel, first language is German and 2nd, less informative in shorter and less information, Italian. It is that bad that at the bus stop, an Italian family was asking if anybody speaks Italian and I said I do, a little! Italian people who I had encounter w in Summer, winter and during meals were very polite, considerate, respectful of others during hike, ski, or at breakfast/dinner. The same sadly cannot be said about german speaking attitude. Some of us suffered some loud people speaking German, loud across tables even during formal candlelight dinner. They will not lower their volume and you cannot hear the music and enjoy a peaceful dinner! The hotel treats Germans better, they r special 😊 I will not choose to stay at Ortisei hotels again unless Italian culture and language is respected and preferred.

The Brixner Dom is a magnificent cathedral that boasts of a striking double-spired architecture which dates back to 1745. The interior of the cathedral is adorned with opulent frescoes that give it an overwhelming historical appeal. Its tranquil surroundings make it an ideal spot for those seeking moments of solitude and reflection. This beautiful dom will certainly leave you impressed with its grandeur and artistic beauty. It is definitely worth visiting again for the sheer splendor that it exudes in every aspect.

Karersee is a small but stunning alpine lake in the Dolomites. The view from all angles is beautiful and there are many panoramic trails to explore. Although it is not permitted to go into the lake, you can take a nice stroll around its perimeter. This picturesque spot was covered with snow during our visit, giving it an extra wintery charm!

Tranquil crystal clear turquoise water with the reflection of the surrounding Dolomite mountain ranges sums up the Beuty of this place. This lake is very close to Bolzano. Parking is nearby and the lake is small. On a clear day in summer water is turquoise as you see in my pics.
Note: if you are driving here, keep in mind, the road has speed cameras at every corner so be extra careful. I will definitely suggest to come early before 7 am to enjoy the serenity and the tranquility of this place.

A very famous spot that you can easily Google the history. It's simply stunning from all angles and you have to stop here if you are in the general area. Large car park which isn't too expensive and several cafés are available adjoining the car park.
A tunnel takes you under the main road and directly to the lake where your mind will explode when you see the views. It's almost unreal and you can't capture it in your brain sufficiently:)

What a lovely place.went here for Christmas market on the way to Bolzano. The views were breathtaking. Completely covered in snow and the lake was frozen.

I was there in March. The lake was frozen but the scenary was stunning! If you come in winter be careful as at some points it is very icy. There is a parking but except for this you can find only a clothes shop. It would be better if you could have a coffee or a snack.

Almost dried out. Global warming is a reality also in the Dolomiti. Don't trust Instagram mind-blowing pictures. They must have been taken a long time ago and edited. Moreover, the forest around the lake has been cut down. Human being negative impact at his best.

Picturesque alpine lake with shimmering turquoise waters, offering sailing, boating & hiking.
Located between the Karwendel Mountains and the Brandenberg Alps, Lake Achensee is extremely popular. It’s just beautiful. From Munich it’s almost a 2 hours drive but the views there are spectacular. This lake is very popular with surfers, windsurfers and sailors and is playfully known by locals as the “Sea of Tirol”. There are swimming areas along the shore. Many restaurants and cafes surrounds the lake. You have many parking spots. You can either take stroll around the lake or take the cable car up the Kandelwal and do a hike.

I visited this area in August: sunny weather, tourists from many European countries, and a typical vacation atmosphere. I truly recommend the trail surrounding the lake. It's 22.5km in total, with the left size a typical mountain hike, while the rest easy and pleasant. Sailing a top attraction with SUP quite popular.
Amazing views of the surrounding area of Bolzano from the gondola ride. It takes 12 minutes to reach the top. Once in Soprabolzano take the train over to Collalbo, it takes about 30 minutes and the scenery is amazing.

Funivia del Renon offers an extraordinary Alpine journey that immerses you in the beauty and tranquility of the Renon Plateau. As the cable car effortlessly ascends, you're transported to a realm of panoramic vistas, picturesque villages, and a sense of serenity that's unparalleled.
From the moment I stepped into the cable car, I was captivated by the ever-expanding views of the surrounding Dolomites. The journey itself felt like a meditative experience, as I watched the world below transform into a patchwork of forests, meadows, and charming hamlets.
Arriving at the Renon Plateau, I was greeted by a landscape that exudes a timeless charm. The simplicity of life in the Alpine villages, combined with the natural beauty that surrounds them, created a harmonious atmosphere that allowed me to escape the pressures of modern life.
Exploring the Renon Plateau was a delight for the senses. The hiking trails, each offering a unique perspective on the landscape, allowed me to connect with nature on a profound level. The scent of pine trees, the rustling of leaves in the breeze, and the distant sound of cowbells created a sensory symphony that felt like a gentle embrace.
The Renon Plateau is also home to the famous Renon Railway, a nostalgic journey that offers a glimpse into the past. Riding the vintage-style train through rolling hills and verdant valleys was a nostalgic experience that harkened back to a simpler era of travel.
The culinary offerings at Funivia del Renon are a celebration of local flavors. Indulging in traditional South Tyrolean dishes while surrounded by breathtaking scenery was a treat for both the palate and the soul. It's a reminder that the joy of travel is as much about savoring moments as it is about discovering new places.
Funivia del Renon is a gateway to a world where time seems to stand still and the beauty of nature takes center stage. Whether you're seeking an escape into the mountains, a chance to reconnect with nature, or simply a moment of tranquility, this Alpine retreat offers an experience that rejuvenates the spirit and creates cherished memories.

Soprabolzano was my go to location on a Saturday just to get away from the world. Hike, brunch or to relax.... You will enjoy this trip. There is also a train that takes you through some mystical locations.
The South Tyrol Archeological Museum houses a well-organized exhibit featuring the preserved remains of a Neolithic man. The museum is spread across three floors dedicated entirely to showcasing Otzi and includes a fourth floor for rotating exhibits. Visitors can make use of an audio app available for a small fee that enhances their experience and allows them to navigate the displays at their own pace.
Small but well organized museum. I’d recommend getting the museum audio app for your phone. It’s only $1 and helps to bring the displays to life, plus it allows you to go at your own pace. The first 3 floors are all for Ötzi and the fourth is what I assume to be a rotating exhibit. I didn’t reserve a ticket and had no problems with crowds, but I did go midday on a Tuesday. Bag storage is available too since you can’t bring large bags into the exhibit area.

An intriguing story of the ice man. It's a pity that everything revolves around one person and the discovery of the skeleton. I believe that the whole building and the story could be enriched with a broader horizon regarding how people lived at that time, what they did, what animals they encountered in their lives, and how they spent their spare time. And the exhibition on the top floor, organized somewhat forcefully, has little to do with the Ice Man. And definitely too few multimedia elements. Today, it's all about videos, and just talking heads in them don't solve the problem anymore! 🤷🏾♂️

This museum is really well-organized and utilizes multimedia to make the topic more interesting for the visitors. Make sure you reserve tickets in advance online to save time waiting in line. The lounge at the top floor is also worth a visit, especially for families with kids.

This is my second visit here and it is simply great, great value for money and a very well laid out museum. I took my Mum and step father this time and they loved it. I would definitely visit again, I learn something new each time!

One of the most unique museums I have ever seen. Worth an extra effort to get here. The whole story of how it is believed Otzi lived and died, how his body survived 10K years under a glacier, how he was found and the details of his life/death are extraordinary. Spent several hours going through the exhibits and a couple more strolling the town center.

It was great! Seeing Ötzi was super cool and we didn't have to wait long either. It was fascinating seeing and reading about old techniques that were used on his tools and to see how trade was already well established thousands of years ago. 100% recognized going! They also have a lot of fun stuff in the shop :D

Famous Otzi museum where you can get all the info about the discovery of Otzi, his lifestyle and even see the frozen mummy. Suggested spot to spend an hour or so. Family entrance tickets available (e.g. 26 eur for 2+2).
Boris Susmak — Google review
Very interesting museum, definitely recommend it.
All information is given in German, Italian and English. There is items, texts, films, touch screens and, of course, the mummy.
There is lockers you are asked to put your things into and these can be used with 1€ or 2€ coins.
We got here at 9:45am, it opened at 10:00am and it took us just over 2h to visit the entire thing while reading all texts and taking it slow. When we left, there was a huge queue for entering, so be there early or reserve your tickets, we didn't do this as we came by spontaneously.

Pro: Very very cool to see Ötzi the ice man. It is amazing how well preserved his body, clothing, and some personal items were. The line to see the actual body moved pretty well.
Con: you can't take pictures of the whole museum. There isn't really much else in this museum (the other exhibit was small and lack lust). Couldn't take my small backpack in, although I seen women with purses large than my bag inside. Paid for parking nearby.
Toni Sterling — Google review
Nice museum where you get to learn about Otzi the iceman (Europe's oldest known natural human mummy) and what was life like in the area over 5000 years ago. The personal belongings ground along him give precious details about the skillsets and life style then with carefully sawn garments and shoes.

Amazing expo. We had to wait about 10 minutes in line to get in because we did not have a reservation. Buy an app for 2€ instead of renting an audio guide. The app has not only audio, but also pictures and you get to keep it after the visit. Take your headphones with you for the more comfortable experience. There is a special app for kids 6-10 years old that is free. The QR codes to download both apps can be found either on the website, or right in the cash desk area.

Otzi is a fantastic exhibit for all ages. A must see - you will learn a lot.
Every display is supported in 3 languages. The story unfolds as a journey from his discovery, his retrieval and preservation, through to understanding his lifetime.
The technology he used was astounding.
This is the best museum I’ve visited in Italy - highly recommended to everyone.
Thank you South Tyrol!

Went to this museum while in Bolzano to see Otzi, the iceman. It was interesting to see the artefacts of that period . Almost missed to see Otzi as he lay in his cubicle which is behind a wall and not well sign posted. There is a glass window through which you see his mummified body. It's remarkable to see this skeleton in its entirety knowing how old it is. Not allowed to take photos in the museum.

It was fascinating seeing and learning all about Ötzi the Ice Man! The museum is very well organized and contains lots of information about him and the period he lived at. If you got the Bolzano card you can use it to enter for free. One downside: The audio explanations app costs $2, which is something you would expect the entrance fee to cover
Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen Betriebs GmbH (Nordkette) is a modern transportation system connecting Innsbruck with Hungerburg, designed by Zaha Hadid. The cable car ride offers a scenic 20-minute journey to the Nordkette, showcasing breathtaking views of Innsbruck and its surrounding mountain landscapes.
Wonderful experience! The first step to see the top of Innsbruck. You can access it from the city center, where you can buy the ticket. It is recommended to bring some warm clothes, even in the spring, because on the top of the mountains, the temperature and the wind can make you feel a bit of cold.
Bruna Dellacqua Loureiro — Google review
Will give it five stars for the overall experience you get, but be prepared to be packed in like sardines in the cable cars. At a minimum you'll definitely want to consider a mask. Aside from that you'll enjoy the views at the top and will have an opportunity to eat and drink on the outdoor patio if you choose

Must do when in Innsbruck. There was no snow downtown, but up there there was 1,5m of snow and still snowing. Restaurant is very good with quality food and there are free of charge ski bikes for kids and adults to enjoy. As for the station, the staff at the ticket kiosk looked like she was forced to work there with very apathetic service. Nevertheless, couldn't spoil the fantastic experience. Highly recommended activity.

It is always great to go up with the Nordkettebahn and the view from Seegruppe is great as well as it is super to just hang out there. However, the price is way to high for thw service. 42€ euros for going to the top and down again is really pushing it

Undoubtedly the view could have been better. If you have not purchased the tickets in advance, Avoid going if its raining. I wish it was not raining when I booked the tickets. It was too cold at 6 degree C at the top and 12 degree in Innsbruck. Dress well and carry winter wear and accessories as per the weather conditions. I enjoyed but could have enjoyed more with better view without rain

A bit complicated to traverse all 3 stations to reach the summit, but the final hike to the top was exhilarating. This last part of the excursion definitely not recommended for those who are physically challenged. The Seegrube restaurant (not inexpensive) offers limited menu but breath-taking indoor or patio dining.

We had incredible views from the top of Innsbruck, definitely worth visiting whilst you are here. We took the funicular to get to the cable car access and you can purchase tickets from the funicular station for the funicular and top of Innsbruck and back in one ticket. You can also make your own way to the cable car and just buy cable car tickets. All up it cost us 44 euros but we found it was a lot cheaper than anything similar in Switzerland.

A modern furnicular that will bring you up from Innsbruck to Hungerburg, then a cable car (Nordkettenbahn) will bring you further up to Seegrube and finally Harfelakar, top of Innbruck 2300m. You must take this trip when you are in Innsbruck. Its a very memorable trip with super breathtaking, gorgeous views.

VIEW OF THE MOUNTAIN
The mountain that dominates Innsbruck. The Nordkette is part of Austria's largest nature park, the Karwendel Nature Park, and can be accessed in only a few minutes from Innsbruck's city centre! The stunning 360° vista, with the Alps' capital on one side and Tyrol's most extensive conservation area on the other, makes an indelible impact.
The Hungerburg funicular takes about 8 minutes to get to the Hungerburg. There are various stops along the route, including the Alpine Zoo, which is popular with families. After arriving at the Hungerburg station, travellers can take a short walk across Hermann Buhl Square, which is named after the world-famous Austrian mountaineer.
At an elevation of 1,905 metres, the Seegrube

An absolute must when visiting Innsbruck. 10/10 views and unforgettable memories walking on the top of the world! Getting up at 3pm wasn’t too busy. The only downside was coming down at 515pm - it was mayhem! Long wait to get in the carriage and squeezed in like sardines.

Breathtaking views. We went to the very top - three gondolas. In July 2023 the top restaurant was closed so best to go up and come back a level to the great bar there with amazing views. Can feel a bit claustrophobic as they pack you in but always feel safe.
The Altstadt Innsbruck, or old town area of the city, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and features some of the most iconic buildings in the town dating back to 500 years. You'll find towers, churches, and other interesting architecture here preserved with great detail from the medieval era. It's a great place to explore if you're in Innsbruck and want to see some of its historical highlights.

Make sure to walk down the Maria Theresa St. See the Saint Ann column, and the triumph arc. If you walk over to the bridge by the river annual see the beautiful and colorful houses that’s definitely worth a picture.

The heart of Innsbruck's allure lies in its historic city core, the Altstadt, where time seems to stand still. This area is a treasure trove of architectural marvels, including the iconic Golden Roof, and is lined with cobblestone streets that whisper tales of centuries past. Strolling through the Altstadt, one is enveloped in a sense of nostalgia, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the city's rich cultural heritage. Innsbruck seamlessly blends its historical roots with modern vibrancy, making it a truly enchanting destination all year round.
We love the Innsbruck city throughout the year. Lovely people, beautiful nature, calm atmosphere.

You can enjoy drinking your mulled wine (glühwine) or punch (punsch) from the Christmas markets starting from mid November here.
By the way, you pay the deposit fee (pfand) of 4€ per a cup in which you got your drink from the Christmas market 🎄 but you can get it back when you return the cup to the stand (it doesn't need to be the same stand; can be returnable in anywhere)
Good to know that this area of Innsbruck is always crowded and usually full of tourists, but the oldtown (Aldstadt) is always beautiful ❤️

Altstadt Innsbruck, the charming old town of Innsbruck, Austria, left an indelible mark on me during my visit in 2018. This historical gem is a delightful blend of medieval architecture, cultural richness, and an inviting atmosphere that makes it a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to the region.
The moment I stepped into Altstadt Innsbruck, I was transported back in time. The cobbled streets, colorful buildings, and well-preserved landmarks exude a timeless charm that captures the essence of Innsbruck's history. The iconic Golden Roof, with its shimmering tiles and intricate reliefs, stands as a symbol of the city's former imperial glory and adds to the town's allure.
Exploring the town's narrow alleys and hidden courtyards was a delightful adventure. Each turn brought new discoveries, such as quaint cafes, boutique shops, and charming artisan studios. The local craftsmanship and attention to detail were evident in the artisanal goods and souvenirs available, making it an ideal place to find unique gifts to cherish.
The Town Tower provided a panoramic view of Altstadt Innsbruck and the surrounding Alps, offering a breathtaking vista that highlighted the town's stunning location. The Maria Theresien Street, the town's vibrant main avenue, was bustling with life, and the street performers and local musicians added a lively ambiance to the overall experience.
I was equally impressed by the warm hospitality of the locals. From the friendly shopkeepers to the knowledgeable guides at the various attractions, everyone seemed genuinely proud of their town's heritage and eager to share its stories.
Moreover, Altstadt Innsbruck's accessibility made it a convenient destination to explore on foot, and its proximity to other attractions such as the Nordkette Cable Car and Swarovski Kristallwelten made it an integral part of my itinerary.
In conclusion, Altstadt Innsbruck is a captivating destination that beautifully captures the essence of Austria's rich history and cultural heritage. Its architectural beauty, friendly atmosphere, and the wealth of experiences it offers make it an exceptional place to visit. I fondly recall my time exploring this delightful old town and wholeheartedly give it a well-deserved five-star rating.

The Swarovski Crystal Worlds store in Innsbruck is a popular upscale chain known for its crystal jewelry, watches, Christmas ornaments and home accents. The store has been extended to include new attractions such as a poetic garden with a unique Crystal Cloud made from 800,000 hand-mounted and enchanted floating crystals.
A shop that is a mini museum too! Worth a visit

Right downtown Innsbruck, the store is larger than you would expect. There were some great holiday pieces out. The stairs to walk up were very interesting and fun (pic attached). The staff were really helpful and plenty were available as the store itself was quite busy. There was a really long (slow-moving) line to check out and I appreciated them bringing in additional help to get things moving along. Since most purchases are from tourists, it was really helpful that they created and gave you the VAT forms at the checkout counter.

Swarovski Crystal Worlds is famous for Swarovski crystals that closely resemble diamonds.
Swarovski's jewelry does not incorporate natural diamonds or gem stones. Their crystals are synthetic glass crystal cut to look like diamonds; essentially non-precious lead glass cut into specific shapes and dimensions.

My mother is a huge fan of Swarovski, so visiting this Crystal World is equivalent to little girl visiting Disney land 😝😊🤣. The Crystal World is filled with beautiful designs Crystal and the history behind the Swarovski brand. My personal favorite part is the outdoor Crystal display outside the main Crystal World building, there are all kinds of Crystal status. At the exit, there's a massive Swarovski gift shop, which is essentially massive Swarovski outlets. There you can find collection of Swarovski jewelry at slightly discount price (compare to if purchase from other country), and the staff are very friendly and helpful at choosing the best jewelry that best suit you.

The Golden Roof in Innsbruck is a prominent landmark and attraction in the city. It is dominated by nearly 2,700 copper tiles, and it is most impressive from the exterior. The roof also has a small interactive museum about Austria that wont take too much time to visit.
Beautiful old town, all places you need to visit in Innsbruck old town are around this area.
Right at the end you get to see this golden roof balcony that is distinctively different from the rest of the building. There are many other colorful buildings around with full of history and culture.
So many food options around including McD.

The gorgeous symbol of Innsbruck, situated in the heart of the city centre. During Christmas time (until December 23rd) you can find Christmas Markets in front of it together with a beautiful Christmas tree!

Easily one of the most visited sites in the old centre of Innsbruck, at the same time you can see all of the old buildings and medieval architecture of the original parts of the city. The golden roof glitters when the sun is out, however the site with Nordkette in the background reminds me of beautiful mountainous art works. The snow is falling on the mountain and the trucks are busy removing the last of the Christmas market installations. Visit this space and take in the history of the city in the surrounding streets.

The Golden roof really does stand out from the other buildings around it. Even when you walk farther away, you will still be able to admire it. It was quite late in the summer evening so we didn't get to see it shine in the sun.

Interesting small museum about the golden roof and the life of the emperor who commissioned it. The museum covers only one floor. It can be visited in anything between 10 minutes and one hour (there is a quite long video to watch halfway through the exposition). You can get a nice glimpse through the balcony, but you cannot step onto it. The experience is worth the EUR 4.50 entrance fee. The lady at the ticket counter is very friendly and helpful.
Only downside is they accept only cash and the ATMs in the area charge EUR 4 for withdrawals with international cards.

Herzog-Friedrich-Straße 15, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria
Trauttmansdorff Castle boasts a tourism museum and is surrounded by sprawling botanical gardens offering striking mountain views. A visit to the castle museum can be a relaxing end to a seven-hour tour of the gardens, which are well worth the time. Although the restaurant experience was not ideal due to slow service and forgetful staff, this was the only negative aspect of an otherwise beautiful location.
Wow WHAT A PLACE, had a great time. Been there for 4,5 hour ( it was a hot day 33 degrees )
The only thing I’m mad off is that I climbed all the way to the birds and when i was finally all the way up it was closed for technical reason grrrr why could anyone tell me that at the entrance. Not cool!
But further it was a beautiful spot!

I strongly recommend visiting there, just make sure you have extra time.
There is also a tourist museum there (inside the castle), unfortunately due to a lack of time and a wonderful weather,we prefer to visit the gardens and not visit the museum.

Exceptionally beautiful botanic garden with a huge variety of plants and stunning views off the viewing platforms higher up on the hill. The different routes through the park are thematically arranged and guide you through the entire park. If you want to see everything, 3-3,5 hours should be sufficient if you walk at an average speed. There's multiple play areas and opportunities for interaction for children to make it more interesting for them. The restaurant is at an average price, the quality of the food we got there was however very good, and it was deliverd to the table rather quickly. Would definitely recommend this to everyone good by foot!

This place is so awesome I don't even want to write a review about it, it might make it busier in this era of overtourism.
But anyway: this garden is too beautiful to be true: the location in the Alps, the hilly terrain of the park, and the variety of plants and flowers and artwork. Usually it's sunny here which really helps.
We were here in late October which was perfect.
Walking around is not really doable for people who don't walk well.
Parking is easy, there's also a bus to the station and it's an easy detour from the Brenner tollway.

In the castle there is a museum and left thst for the end of our tour there, to chill after we took 7 hours to visit the Botanical garden, and it's worth each minute. Restaurant experience want so great as we waited 15 minutes to just be served, even though others around us were served, they forgot to bring the water we ordered, got salads without the cutlery, and when we told we didn't get the water we ordered, we were charged another one on our tab. We sorted it our later but that experience is the only bad thing we had there.

After reading so many glowing reviews of this place, we decided to check it out. The gardens are enormous and can be steep at times, so be prepared for a workout if you want to see some of the upper attractions like the lovers garden and the aviary which I thought were both worth the climb.
I’d recommend giving yourself at least 4 hours to see everything. We spent 3 hours here and weren’t able to see everything.

This was our second visit, this time during the day - our previous visit was during the late opening one evening in the summer. The gardens are stunning, plenty of flowers and scents in early May. We were there 4h30m and didn't see everything, nor did we visit the museum. This is a place you can visit time and time again, but be aware that there aren't many places to shelter when/if it rains.
Finally, don't visit in good weather at the weekend if you are travelling by car, the parking was full! Public transport is a better option.

Amazing place!! You can tell how much work they put into the garden, it is incredible. Allow at least 4 hours to see the garden, one of the highlights of our holiday.

Strada Provinciale 8 Merano - Scena, 39012 Merano BZ, Italy
The Tappeinerweg is an impressive and well-maintained footpath stretching 4.5 miles through a scenic valley overlooking Merano. Lined with Mediterranean plants, the trail offers beautiful views of the rushing river and city below. It is a popular tourist attraction that visitors to Merano should not miss, with recommended step counts exceeding 10,000 steps.
Lovely walking trail and very well maintained. Can see a beautiful view along the trail..

Fantastic views of the city and surrounding landscape. Vineyards, steeples and mountains can be taken in from the viewing benches. There are also a few restaurants/spots to have a drink along the promenade. The climb up the old fort tower is worth it for the views from the top. It is quite a steep walk up to the promenade - we managed it with a pram but took some pushing!

I was only able to do a short distance of the Tappeinerweg because of time , but still so impressive. The rushing river and beautiful views make this a 5 star place to be.
I am looking forward to a continuation walk in the very near future.

Wonderful route, easy realxing, the whole family with kids can enjoy the view of merano from a bit higher. The route has a part long the river, very calming. There are small herbs garden to check out on the route as well. There’s also some restaurants along the way and hotels.

Mittenwald, a charming town nestled in the Bavarian Alps of Germany, is famous for its vibrant painted houses and rich history of violin-making, showcased at the Geigenbaumuseum. The 18th-century St. Peter and St. Paul Church features stunning frescoes. Surrounding the town are scenic paths leading to Lautersee Lake and the Laintal waterfall to the west, while Hoher Kranzberg offers trails and viewpoints to the northwest.
The Partnach Gorge in Garmisch is a popular hiking destination with beautiful waterfalls and a walkway. It's named for the gushing waters of the Partnach mountain stream, which have carved out the gorge over time. The gorge is significant geological because it was nearly 240 million years ago during the Triassic period that the Alpine muschelkalk layers settled on what was once a shallow sea.
What a fantastic place! The views we saw on the walk were just stunning! Even in winter, this place was worth visiting. Apart from the gorge, there are a lot of tourist routes through the forest. Depending on physical training, you can choose the best appropriate one. I also advise you to take a raincoat if the weather is cold as there are a couple of waterfalls.

Really special and wonderful place to enjoy a day. We hike passed the gorge and up a pub the long way (2 hours walk up and down). Reasonable fitness needed. The pub is closed every Thursday. When we go there, the pub is closed. The tables can be used and you can buy beer from a machine. The gorge itself is nice but the hike up the long way is nice walk too. We saw salamanders and woodpeckers and different birds, farm animals sheep and a friendly cat too. The way down quick is by the side of the pub (30 minutes). Bring a raincoat and wear hiking shoes.

It was a wintry cold day and we braved the outdoors. It was a nice memory, although hard with jet lag. Got some good shots.
Because some of the hiking paths were icy, we had to walk on the main road which of course took away from the charming allure. So beware in bad conditions.

A walk through the cave is indeed beautiful! High hills and the turquoise water from the water falling from the mountains & running like a river is Amazing! Safe to walk along with children though narrow space well protected! If you have the Zugspitze Ticket, the entry is free.

The gorge was breathtaking and well worth the 6 euro. When we visited in August, half of the gorge was shut down and there was two-way traffic. This led to a lot of congestion and was very stressful with a toddler. We were not aware of how tight some of the tunnels were, so we brought a child backpack carrier which we did not use because our son would hit his head on the ceiling. We saw several families with small children in the same boat as us. If we could have done the whole trail and not have to double back, we would have enjoyed the experience a lot more. I understand these were unique times, it just wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been. It was still very pretty and I wouldn't mind coming back when our kids are a little older. For those who are new to the area, you can park in the Olympic parking lot for 2.5 Euro and it is a short walk to the trail head from there.
Justin O — Google review
It's an impressive experience.
The path to the entrance is very wide and easy to walk on. In the gorge, however, it is narrow to the rocks, partly through the tunnels. It's also good to have a flashlight, because it's really dark in some parts of the tunnel. A jacket with a hood is also useful, as the water drips heavily from above in some places.
We were there on a public holiday with nice weather around noon. That was probably a mistake as it was very crowded. In narrower places you sometimes had to wait until "oncoming traffic" had passed... I also thought it was stupid that you were allowed to go there with the dogs. I don't think it's a nice experience for the dogs: loud, cramped and lots of strange legs that you have to avoid. Next time I'll go there earlier as it's probably a lot quieter.
veronika Acosta — Google review
Unbelievable place... It is definitely a must visit place and its worth every penny. You won't regret going here.
Just make sure you exit from the same gate you came from if you don't have time or don't want to walk. Cuz if you exit from the other end, you'll have to hike all the way around the gorge.
But if you can I would definitely recommend you to take that route, it is BEAUTIFUL

One of nature's wonders. Awesome place to visit. Regimens getting there early as parking is atrocious. Make sure you have balance and are a little fit. The walk is long and can get strenuous at times. However, the views are spectacular.

Let me just say be prepared for the hike OUT. The hike in and through was amazing. The walk out was the hardest part, and while it isn't difficult, it isn't a short hike. The gorge itself was great and beautiful. Go early and beat the rush, which is what we did, and even then, we had people who wanted to rush through and push you through it. Later, the number of people showing up to enter was crazy and i couldn't imagine trying to even take pictures. We enjoyed the early quiet and lack of people and were able to enjoy a leisurely walk, just letting the fast folks pass us. Take a rain coat, water and snack and you'll have an amazing time.

The place is very attractive. After visiting the cave, you can continue your hike to the forest and return to the starting point. Alternatively, you can return to the cave. If you choose to hike through the forest, make sure to bring some water as it is a steep path. Overall, it was a really enjoyable hike.

Formed by the Partnach River, the gorge features striking rock formations and picturesque waterfalls. The maintained trails and informational signs ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for visitors of all levels of expertise. We went on a hot weekday and it was rather busy, with lots of fellow tourists. The walk up from the parking at the Ski Jump centre took about 20 minutes, but was easy. We booked our tickets in advance, but you could buy them there. There are some places to get some food and drink at the start of the gorge walk, we had some lovely chips and a beer! The walk itself is exciting, but as it was busy there was a lot of stop-and-start waiting for people to pass (the raised pathway cut in to the cliff is narrow) but the views and atmosphere made up for it. Stout shoes and a slight head for heights is recommended, but we saw folks of all ages and abilities managing just fine.

I will try to talk about my experience briefly and benefit from this place, one of the most beautiful places that you can visit, beautiful natural beauty, fun and exciting to explore, ski, climb, photograph and relax.

Amazing place. On a busy day, finding parking is a bit hard and one has to walk a bit to get the beautiful views of the Gorge, but definitely worthwhile. Nature at one of it's best. It's enjoyable only in the right season - when there is good water flow.

Partnachklamm is an absolute gem near Munich! I was left speechless by the extraordinary beauty of this natural wonder. The stunning gorge, with its crystal-clear turquoise waters and towering cliffs, creates an otherworldly atmosphere. The lush greenery and breathtaking waterfalls added to the enchanting experience. The well-maintained trails make it accessible for all, and the picturesque surroundings make it a photographer's paradise. Whether you're a nature lover, an adventurer, or simply seeking tranquility, Partnachklamm is a must-visit destination that will leave you in awe. Don't miss out on this incredible piece of nature's artistry!

Very interesting place. But risk to go given the wet floor and its proximity to the water falls.
Not good for claustrophobics since you will be in dark and short tunnels.
Dogs are welcome but there is a 2 euros fee.
Cadu Garcia — Google review
we didn't need raincoats or lanterns, the tunnels were lit and at 20° quite dry, two or three drops on the jacket is no problem. It's so beautiful that you don't care if you get wet. The circular route is not easy at all, the climbing is big and quite steep, don't eat your sandwiches before it like we did😆. Otherwise, the view from the top is worth the effort, but some level of fitness is definitely required.

Beautiful place. Might be slippery in the rainy season. At least keep 2 hours for the trip. You are allowed to go to the end and have to come back the same route (can no longer exit from the other end). I saw some people taking their pets. Some were afraid of heights so their owner had a difficult time. And some dogs were trekking like a pro.

Partnachklamm, nestled in the heart of the Bavarian Alps, is a breathtaking natural wonder that captivates with its awe-inspiring beauty. The narrow gorge, carved by the Partnach River, offers a mesmerizing journey through towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls. The well-maintained pathways and sturdy bridges provide a thrilling adventure for hikers and nature enthusiasts.
Visitors should be prepared for a sensory delight, with the sound of rushing water echoing off the rocky walls and the cool mist in the air creating a refreshing experience. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the dramatic scenery, especially during different times of the day.
While the trail can be challenging in parts, the reward of reaching the end and taking in the panoramic views is well worth the effort. Partnachklamm is a testament to the raw power of nature, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a memorable and immersive outdoor experience in the Bavarian Alps.

Awesome place. The cave gives you a thrilled feeling. After you exit it, there are two options: First option is to take the cave back. Next option is a bit tricky and I felt that the directions were not much clear. In this option you have to hike the mountain and then descend. The trail to go up is not well maintained and at some places it was very slippery. On top there is one small restaurant. Going down is via a well built road, but it is very steep. We could not control our legs at some descends and had to run :)

Such a beautiful place to visit... If this is on your list and you have the time you must absolutely do it. There is a 30 minute walk from the parking lot to the entrance of the gorge. However we had rented e bikes and were able to take them all the way to the entrance and there is a bike lock rack Right next to where we purchase tickets. For 7.50 euros this was an unbelievable walk Just so breathtakingly beautiful. I love the sound of the water I love seeing the sky through the crack. After we got to the end there was different trails to take but we didn't know how to read the trail map in German so we just turned around and went back the way we came to the main entrance to our bikes. I would have loved to have done other walks up and over the gorge as well if there was a proper map provided or signs. Also a bit confusing have to you purchase tickets you have to scan the barcode to go through a gate So hold on to them, Because if you go through the gate at the end and decide to turn around you will need to reschend the tickets to get back in the pathway to the main entrance.
Zugspitze is a mountain peak in the Alps, situated in Bavaria and Austria. It is the highest mountain in Germany, and also one of the highest mountains in Europe. The mountain summit at 2834 meters above sea level offers stunning panoramic views over four countries: Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany.
Amazing peak view to the glacier! Went there twice. The first time was foggy so not able to see such a beautiful view but did enjoy the snow. Luck that having this clear weather when we went the second time. Enjoy the snow sledding if you don’t ski.

Incredible. Easily the highlight of our trip. What a bunch of breath taking views. We took the cable car up and down from the summit. It is definitely worth the trip to go up. It was very reasonably priced for what you got. Just make sure (they tell you at least 5 times) to switch trains on the way up.

Loved the experience! I went to Zugspitze to enjoy the picturesque view over mountains, and it was one of the most memorable trips. I took the cable car to go up, and then used another cable car to go down to ski slopes (you can use this one unlimited if you buy the standard adult ticket). Breathtaking views, few nice cafes on the top to go and enjoy a light snack/ meal or a coffee. Would really recommend, even if you aren’t a skier!

Great experience and a must do even if you're not in the area. We went on a Tuesday right after Easter and it's was pretty empty as the temperature wasn't the best. We tried going the day before and it was PACKED. We would've had to park a town over and take a train so we decided to postpone to the next day. The attendant at the entrance was kind enough to switch our tickets as we were the only ones there.
What an experience honestly. We were alone with the operator in the cabin and it was pretty nerve-wracking with the wind howling and the cabin swaying side to side. At the top it felt surreal, like on a different planet. My wife stayed inside as she was a bit scared.
There's also a restaurant and a museum up there on how they constructed the whole thing which is pretty nice.
Overall 100% worth it. Even my wife that was scared of heights and reluctant on going up loved it. The both of us will remember that that experience for a long time.

The highest peak in German alps. Going there can be for more than just skiing. Take the cable car from Eibsee to enjoy the view of the alps and sit in the restaurant on top. You may also choose to walk around and (in winter) take a drink at the igloo bar and hotel. Definitely recommended in winter.

A must! It's quite expensive (136 euros for 2 persons, no discount with the tourist or visitors card they give you at the hotel), but we think it's totally worth it. The views are magnificent, there are excellent infrastructures (cafés, restrooms, souvenir shops) and you can "hop" on Austria for a little bit. We brought a light jacket, but it was not cold (12°C, but with the sun and all the people, it seemed warmer). It's beautiful, and you can easily spend 2h here or even longer if you intend to climb to the summit or hike around the viewing platform.
Highly recommended! 👌👌👌

Nice place to experience snow in summer. There are 3 different round trips which take you to 3 different places. The star of the place is the summit. From the starting point, get down at eibsee and take a rope car. It's the short and scenic route. Here restaurants are available. You can have nice food with scenic views. Then next to the valley where you can play in snow. Slides and snow mobiles are available for rental. Suggest not to take train from eibsee to aummit.

Very interesting place to visit in the Bavarian Alps. Visited in the end of March, still quite cold and abundant snow.

Best organisation of the whole experience by Zugspitzbahn. There is a small museum at the top about how this whole thing was built. Also they have kept all the old things in the museum and it’s free to visit. They explain the mechanism of the cogwheel train.

Beware of long waiting times, going early in the day is probably a good idea to avoid the crowds. Luckily there's no line, you get assigned a number at the station and you can watch the display to see when your turn is coming up. You can sit around or drink and eat something while you wait.
The ride is absolutely worth it though. Recommended.

Went on Austrian National Day and had the best time. Rode the gondola up and went hiking, and saw the cool wood carved creatures along the trail, and then rode the alpine coaster.

The Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th-century hilltop fortress constructed for King Ludwig II. The castle, which resembles Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle, was created to recreate the world of Germanic mythology inspired by Richard Wagner's operatic works. The Sängersaal or Minstrels Hall is the most stunning room in the castle, with frescoes depicting scenes from Tannhäuser opera.
From the car park to reach the castle you can walk or take a ride with the bus or carriage. The tickets to get inside the castle are at the base, where the transportation is. Unfortunately I couldn't visit it inside as I didn't had enough time to wait one hour and a half for the next group tour. But next time I'll be more prepared for this. Even so seeing the castle surroundings was a very nice experience. You have plenty of nice views and lots of nice spots to take beautiful pictures.

Absolutely amazing location! This castle is just like from the fairytale! Take Romantic route when going there- you will enjoy beautiful countryside views and a lot of cows on the road! Castle itself located on the hill and reaching it by foot will take some 20-30 minutes. But you can take bus or horse ride there also! Tickets to enter the castle should be booked in advance- otherwise you will enjoy only from the outside, as we did!

It was a beautiful place but lots of hiking and it's difficult to find the spot where you can take an instagram worthy photo of the castle and even if you do, you will have to wait in line for 40 minutes to get there. It's so crowded in August that instead of enjoying the place, you will get a headache. But minus the crowd, it's a wonderful place!

Beautiful place!! I went near the end of November and it was snowy. Not all restaurants were open but there were enough to get a bit to eat. Easy walk around the area; both castles and the lake. Two viewpoints were blocked off because of the snow which was disappointing but understandable. The snow made it magical but if you want to see all sides of the castle go in warmer weather. It is about a 25 minute tour of the castle and you cannot take pictures or video inside. I used the GetYourGuide app to book a full day tour from Munich and it was a comfortable easy way to go! It is about a 30-40 minute walk up a paved path to the Castle so wear comfortable shoes. You have to sign up for a tour time so as to not overcrowd the castle. Lockers are accessible near the entrance of the castle and plenty of gift shops. Check this one off the bucket list!

I love coming back to this castle. It has something magical about it. I’ve seen it in all four seasons and each season has its own beauty. However the negative side of going there in winter is that the bridge where you could take good pictures of the castle could be closed due to weather conditions.
From the parking lot to the foot of the entrance, you can take a horse drawn carriage which cost at present eight euros per person for each direction. However, you can also walk it, which takes a good 20 minutes. From there it’s another 10 to 15 minute walk to the actual entrance of the castle.
I find the tour to be a bit short. I took a tour a few years ago where it was longer, but I suppose they no longer offer that. I do enjoy having a cup of coffee and cake inside a castle, though after the tour.

The castle is beautiful! Too bad that on the inside you can’t take pictures.
On the outside you’re one step from the alps, trees and 2 beautiful lakes that make the place look like taken out of a book.
The walls, ceiling, and ornaments are wonderful, of course like every castle is full of amazing stuff

What can anyone say about the world famous fairytale castle Neuschwanstein. It is stunning and surreal in person. The tour is well worth but make sure to book in advance. Getting to it is a challenge but no matter the method it is inexpensive. Even the horse drawn carriages was 7 euros a person. Many still walked, even in the rain.
The story around the castle is fascinating and sad. It was far from done when King Ludwig was killed. Only can imagine what it would be if he could have finished it.
Stayed in the nearby town of Fussen. Such a lovely place. Would not stay near the Castles as there is not much to do.

I had been wanting to visit for many years since my first visit to Bavaria. I'm glad I did as it is, obviously, a very impressive and beautiful building set in fantastic scenery.
No pictures are permitted to be taken while on the tour itself. Obviously some people still try, but thankfully the staff are quick to stop them.
Tours are run on a timed entry system and conducted with audio guides. Surgical masks are required. Homemade/cloth masks are not permitted. If you try to enter without a mask, or with a cloth mask, you will be made to pay €4 for an accepted one.
Buy your tickets ahead of time. A limited number of day tickets are available at the tourist centre in Schwangau (no tickets are available for purchase at the castle itself) but they go very quickly.
Don't miss the view from Marienbrucke before going into the castle itself.
Small cafe on site after the tour. Not bad, not great.
Gift shop has usual kind of trinkets and is pricey.

We purchased our tickets in advance and printed them at home. They are timed and you can only enter the inside of the castle 10 minutes before the "tour" starts. I recommend getting the first tour of the day because the parking lots fill up and it gets hot in the summer.
We caught a bus from parking lot #4 up to the top of the hill. You pay on the bus - cash only - a few euros per person. From there we walked to a bridge with an excellent view of the castle and took some photos. We then walked to the castle and waited for our tour to start. We had an audio guided tour which was very informative. This castle is stunning, beautifully preserved and cared for. It's definitely a bucket list place to visit. After our tour we walked back downhill to our car. Highly recommend visiting this castle.

This castle is amazing , the views are spectacular the inside is just beautiful you have to see it to understand . You cannot take pictures inside the castle We took a horse drawn carriage up to the castle for about 8 euros and 4 euros down trust me either take the carriage or bus the walk is all up hill and about 30 minutes . There is plenty of parking and restaurants and cafes to eat and get drinks from there are also souvenir shops inside the castle . And the place is very crowded so if you can get there early . You cannot bring any bags inside and also no cameras . But do not miss being inside the mad kings castle .

Amazing palace in an amazing location between plains, lakes and high mountains. It looks medieval but is modern. Worth any voyage to come experience it and its surroundings.
Not that easy to get to but the climb/walk only adds to the luster of your visit. Reservations run out weeks in advance in summer so plan your visit well.
The bridge is best but not for the faint-hearted. I only go up a bit to take the amazing pictures of the castle, mountains, plain and lake.
We did not enjoy coming with a disabled person. We booked for a disabled person and an accompanying adult but:
1. You can't get to the front gate without climbing
2. You can't use the elevators in the castle unless you have a separate ticket for it, which I was not told about
3. The horse carriage stops running at 6pm even though we were told it would run until after our tour finished, so my mother had to hitch a ride back in an employee's car. If none had been available, she would have had to spend the night on the mountain somehow.

A very beautiful castle! The old markings and objects within the halls and rooms are outstandingly stunning. This castle tells its story very well and the tourer guides explain every detail down to a fine art, giving a clear picture of who owned the castle and how it functioned. The view is so striking and the area around is a very nice and cute town, reflecting the castles beauty from above and below. Would recommend a visit!

Visiting the castle must be planned in advance by purchasing tickets on the website. The experience is unique. If the weather is good (no rain or fog) you will get wonderful photographs of the view of the Castle, the lake and the city itself, which is very charming. On the way to the Castle and minutes before the center you can find good restaurants. I recommend the tour!

Gorgeous. Magnificent. Outstanding. Breathtaking. Impressive.🤩
There could be other dozens of way to describe this gem, easily.
The best sights are gotten from the Marienbrucke.
From the inside it was never finished so there are two storeys empty and the visit is somehow rather short accordingly.

Beautifully crafted structure. A masterpiece on its own. You can book tickets online. You can park the vehicle and then take a bus or the horse carriage to reach the Castle. 10 mins walk from the Bus stop. Please take return ticket of the bus at the time of taking the trip to the castle saves some money.

The scenery around it is absolutely stunning. Weather is just perfect on December, around 10 degree C and not too mild. Entrance fee may not justify the price as it is only a 5 min tour esp for someone had seen next level wall painting like in Vatican.

Beautiful. The scenery is amazing. Take the bus to the castle and look out but walk back. Make sure to swim in the lake located between the 2 castles, it makes for a great way to finish a warm day walking between the castles.

It's a beautiful place, but everything is made in order for you to pay a bit more.
Also, I highly recommend going early in the morning. We came the first time in the afternoon, and there were literally a hundred or more persons waiting for the bus to take you up to the castle.

Give yourself plenty of time for photos and taking in the breathtaking views. September was a stunning time to visit. The castle is beautiful but the views from the castle are even more spectacular. There were flowers everywhere, the meadows were lush green and lakes dotted with sailboats. We saw a dozen hangliders floating through the sky, what an incredible view that must have been.
Amber Doran — Google review
Incredible Castle (inside and outside) is a must if you are in Bavaria. The only negative point would be that there is not much time to appreciate in the castle tour.
Couldn't find online tickets but risk it in going and was able to get the ticket (€ 15 per person)
Also, recommend to go to the bridge (20min walk from castle) perfect castle view and the wait is not that long just really crowded.

Absolutely beautiful castle & grounds. We took the horse & carriage up for 8 euro per person and then walked back down. We had a gorgeous day to be there. I'd highly recommend getting there early if you pre purchased your audio tour so you have plenty of time to get to the check in. ❤️

First time visiting real castle. So good! Definitely worth visiting if you are in Munich. We went for a day tour, very very informative so you can understand the history! Tons of excitement and good architectural. Castle was built by limestone. I visited on the winter time.
Heard that when it’s summer, more sunlight, it makes the castle shines due to the limestones structure.

The castle is beautiful, although the place is very tourist-like. Can't enter the castle gates without a ticket and it's a specific time you may enter with your ticket. They will recommend a bus, and then a 15 minute walk from the bus stop. But you can walk up from the start of the bus to the castle in 20-25 minutes.

Absolutely magnificent castle! The art and architecture is incredible. The history is beautiful. I loved all the colors inside and all the different rooms. The outside view is absolutely chanting. Definitely worth the trip to check it out. My favorite were the murals which were inspirations for many stories that I am familiar with!
BusyB — Google review
Absolutely a rip-off, don’t take the €20 tour of the castle, you are climbing almost 200 stairs during the tour and it’s not worth it. The castle’s gift shops rips you off as well, the place mats were €7 in the first gift shop, then it was down to €5 in the second one on the way to exit. The view is nice, breathtaking but that’s just it. A very touristic place. Not worth it. Instead you can enjoy the view and have lunch in the restaurants maybe…just an idea…

By tickets in advance or else there's the risk of not being able to enter the castle. Also I highly recommend going on that little hike after crossing the bridge. You will find a nice photo spot with very few people.
Victor Burcovschi — Google review
Worth a tour of the interior to see the artistry and hear about its inception. The tour wasn’t long and was a large group, leaving slower wanderers or those with more questions a bit rushed. But worth it! If uncertain of the signs for where to start your hike, you can follow the road that the carriages take. Also hiking to the view from the bridge is a must!
Kaitlyn Kline — Google review
This place is a great location, you have free parking and can walk around the castle at night and early morning before anyone’s around.
However it’s really more of a hostel, we had to share a bathroom and toilet and there was no kettle and a very basic bed, all okay for an overnight but nothing special
Breakfast was very nice and staff team lovely.
Paul Bennett — Google review
A very beautiful Castle from outside! One must definitely visit. It was wonderful to trek up the hill up till the Marienbrücke and take some spectacular pics of the castle and the river beneath! Overall takes around half a day to tour.
Hohenschwangau Castle, a neo-Gothic summer residence of King Ludwig II, was built by his father atop 12th-century ruins left by Schwangau knights. It has a distinctly lived-in feel with ornately furnished state rooms, where every piece of furniture is an original. The palace is far less showy than Neuschwanstein and features stars painted on the ceiling of Ludwig's bedroom.
Wow! Worth a visit for everyone. Again, you can't take any pics inside but plenty of photo ops outside of the castle and the surrounding scenery. My advice is get there as early as possible, past 10am it gets ridiculously busy. Tickets are timed so it's all very orderly. You can walk up to the castle, but I'd suggest taking the bus from the car park, you can then walk off to the right and go on the bridge, it's then a 5 min walk up to the castle. There's a shop, loos and lockers for bags. There are also loos once you're into the main courtyard. As of Aug '22 you need to wear a mask inside, but they do sell them at the info desk for €2 each. After you can walk down the hill or take a horse drawn cart (€4ea) but it takes the same amount of time. Plenty of options for eating and drinking around the car park. If you walk along the road past the car park, with it on your right, you'll be treated to an amazing blue lake nestled amongst mountains. Stunning.

Beautiful castle walls and towers. There is a rich story (thanks to the amazing castle guide) on how King Ludwig designed and innovated the castle with electricity and even a lift ! Will consider this castle visit more of to accomplish a checklist if you are staying in Munich and not really a wow-must-visit attraction.
Fernando Sarael — Google review
The tour was fascinating and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and sweet. It was an "audio-tour" so we were given a history of the castle and the family in English, but our tour guide was fluent in English and German. She added so many other neat tidbits and facts to really personalize the tour.
NOTE: It is limited to the queen's chambers and ladies' rooms/the king's chambers and the knights' rooms, so much of the castle is not included in the tour. The kitchen is located in the back of the gift shop and is a neat sight as well.
We booked our tickets online. If you do the same (and I suggest you do as it often sells out!) make sure you give yourself ample time to find parking and walk up to the castle. We got there 20 minutes early and were cutting it close.
The lady at the entrance to the tour was not very nice at all. She was the one negative to the whole experience.
NOTE: LOTS OF WALKING - wear your good shoes.

Great castle to visit. We had a nice guided visit with an audio guide in English and a guide to answer questions. It was interesting and didn't take too long. Our group was only composed of 4 people, us included, so it was really nice. Great view from the castle too and a quick bus ride from and to Füssen. Be sure to check the return bus schedule as they are not really frequent.

This year my husband and I decided to do castle tours in Germany. Yesterday we visited Hohenschwangau, (our 3rd castle visited in 2 days). I love the vibrant color of the exterior. It has a beautiful courtyard with a pretty fountain and landscape. Too bad it was raining which prevented us from taking some amazing photos of the castle and spending more time in the courtyard. This castle along with many others does not allow photography during the tour. King Maximilian II commissioned the construction of this castle. It has 50 rooms, rooms are small and have less decor than some of the other castles around. Overall it is a beautiful castle, overlooking the town below, and the mountains. I advised repurchasing the tour tickets ahead of time, less hassle. Guided tour comes in multiple languages. Our tour guide spoke English well.

Amazing castle - more finished inside than Neuschwanstein. You can freely walk around, up to the castle and around the courtyard however you'll need tickets to go inside with a tour. Worth the visit here if you're in Fussen.

The summer residence of the kings, the interior of the castle has been perfectly maintained since they ruled here. Each room has fantastic murals depicting fairy tale legends still original to when they were painted and not showing any aging. To get inside you need a ticket for the 30minute guided tour.

Bring a swimsuit 👙🩲 to swim in the lake after the tour! An impressive castle on the inside, and a nice exterior view especially from the lake. The forced guided tour only shows you a fraction of the castle 🏰 but it's enough to get a sense of how the knights and royalty lived here.
Alan Czajkowski — Google review
If you want to visit inside, booking in advance is a must. The tour inside is about 35 to 40 minutes,about 17 people per group. You can't take photos or anything, and you couldn't even spend enough time to appreciate the art and paintings due to they're kind of pushing to finish the tour.
The price of the ticket is rather expensive for what you will get.
For someone who doesn't have much interest in history or low budget. I would recommend Just go to look around outside the castle instead, it's very beautiful views and free.

Such an idyllic setting, it is a must see when undertaking the Romantic Drive in Bavaria, Germany. Visited in early May 23 and found it to be a fantastic attraction.
The day we got to visit was a little drizzly but it set the scene for a rather romantic time to do the tour through the castle. Our tour guide was a fun guy and added to the tour. Entry is by way of booked tickets and the whole process of visiting the castle is done quite precisely. You won't be disappointed.

Interesting castle to visit, the architecture of the castle is kind of stunning even though it is not as picturesque as its neighbour Neuschwanstein from the outside.
The tour of the interior of the castle is 30-40 minutes long and you will be able to see 8 rooms of the castle. It isn't the best castle tour, but it's kind of expected since this is a 200 years old castle with not much history.

Great place to visit for a day trip to Southern Germany.
This castle was built in the 1800s by King Maximillian II. His son Ludwig lived there as a child and built the more photogenic castle across the valley when he was older.
This particular castle is very well preserved. All of the furniture is still inside. It’s almost as if the residence simply went away for the weekend and let you come in to take a look at it!
It is still privately owned, thus they do not allow any photographs to be taken inside. My wife and I found it interesting that the queen and king each had their own separate floor of the castle, however there is a secret staircase that connects their bedrooms for conjugal visits!
Füssen Altstadt is a charming and fairly small pedestrian center with quaint shops, cafes, and picturesque squares. The old Apotheke building on the main street and the fountain at the far end are notable attractions. This traditional southern town offers delightful restaurants, cafes, and dessert shops. Visitors can explore historic sites like Hohes Schloss and the Benedictine Monastery of St. Mang while enjoying a music parade in the afternoon.
Old part of cities never disappoints you. Instead, they welcome you in their comfort and cosy world.

Nebelhorn is an alpine destination that includes ski resorts and a cable car with panoramic views of surrounding mountains. While the tramway can be pricey, it offers breathtaking views and the option to disembark at three stations for exploration. Even in foggy conditions, Nebelhorn remains a must-see summit with low air pressure that goes unnoticed.
We bought Gondelbahn round rides to Gipfelstation. Up there we hiked up to Nebelhorn mountain peak and went down to lake ( which near to Gipfelstation).
Very hot in summer but it’s worth. Nice panorama up there!
With Family tickets is cheaper and parking lots costed around 4-5€

Very beautiful views. Mountains all around, snowy peaks in the distance. Green valleys below. The cable car has two platforms where you can go out and walk. There is a small lake with clear blue water. Lots of restaurants. However, there are a lot of people on weekends, which creates some inconvenience. But at the top and on the middle platform there is a place for paragliders, you can enjoy the view of the start from the mountain. Very interesting. The price is 49 euros for the entire cable car. But you can buy a ticket to the second site. But I would advise buying for the entire cable car. Only from the very top you can see all the beauty.

Although the cable car is a little expensive (alternative would be hiking), the view makes up for the price. If you bought the "Berg und Talfahrt", you can get out at every 3 stations, walk around there for a bit, breathe the cold and refreshing mountain air and hop on the cable car to the next station any time you want. Although being foggy, the views still were fenomenal and the "Nebelhorn" is definately a must-see! (The low air pressure isn't even noticable)
Breitachklamm is a popular hiking destination with stunning views of rocky river gorges and cliffs. The path can be narrow and crowded, but visitors can take advantage of large parking lots and online ticket purchasing to avoid long wait times. There are multiple trails available for hikers, including a longer option. The canyon is particularly beautiful on sunny days, but also worth visiting in the winter months. Visitors should be prepared for dripping water and low-hanging obstacles if they are tall.
Frozen paradise. The best part is the walk back when the path opens up into a field. Bring good shoes its slippery.

Breathtaking views and power of an Alpine river, waterfalls and cliffs in this easily accessible gorge. Pleasant one-way walk through the canyon and a bit of an uphill hike through the forest to get back to the parking lot. The easiest way to return is the new 2021 route. Our dog enjoyed the hike even more than we did! There is a good guest house right next to the parking lot to eat and relax after the hike.

If you are a fan of going up and down a lot then this is your place! The view from there is astonishing, water hurdling down from one of the cliffs while you listen to the water rushing below you. I sadly didn't have the strength to go past the staircase upwards but till then it waa amazing.

There is 6.5 euro entry fees. You have to go! When we went there it was raining abit and adding to the powerful river below forcing itself through the channels. The gorge can be picturesque with great boulders from above and super high walls towering over the pathways. Such an experience and better than most tourist attractions. Highly recommended

Awesome views, awesome cliffs! Although the path always is very full and narrow, causing you to take photos fairly quick, you still get an amazing moment and enjoy your time being there. The parking lot is huge so you don't need to worry about the parking. If you want to "skip" the queue, buy your tickets online if you don't want to wait for half an hour, and, prepare to get wet, there's water dripping everywhere, and not to mention if you're tall, watch your head, definately worth a visit for a low price!

When I visited this place, I was absolutely blown away by the natural beauty of the area. The hike through the gorge was breathtaking, with stunning views of the towering cliffs and rushing water below. The path through the gorge is well-maintained and easy to navigate, making it a great hike for people of all ages and abilities.
One thing to note is that the hike can be quite strenuous at times, with steep inclines and steps to navigate. However, the effort is well worth it as the views from the top of the gorge are truly breathtaking.
Overall, I highly recommend the Breitachklamm to anyone visiting the area. It's a must-see natural wonder that shouldn't be missed.

We went in March and there was still a lot of icicles which made the whole place just breathtaking. Paths were easy to walk. You should watch your kids though. Buggys are not allowed. Paths can also be closed depending on weather.
Prices were fair. Be aware you can only pay cash.

Breathtakingly beautiful gorge! Prepare to get wet, wear rain coat. The small circular trail raises 160 metres.
Trail reminds me the Spanish Caminito del Rey - except this is much easier.
Ski Arlberg, encompassing St. Anton, St. Christoph, Stuben, Lech, Zürs, Warth, and Schröcken offers over 125 miles of interconnected slopes with a vast lift and cable-car system. The area features the Run of Fame circuit with an impressive combined vertical drop and off-piste trails from Mount Valluga. After skiing, enjoy lively apres-ski scenes like at MooserWirt in St.
Very beautiful and big resort giving a lot of opportunities. Prices are high (ski pass, food and drinks on the slopes) but this is well known. Slops are medium difficult in general but good maintained. Some signs on the slopes could be improved a little bit. Villages around the resort are amazing and each of them are giving different look. No problem with parking anywhere. All slopes were open in February.

Great ski resort. It is huge, a lot of fun for intermediate skiers and snowboarders. Fortunately we had perfect snow and weather conditions.

Spectacular skiing. The resort is absolutely massive, we could barely make it from one side to the other in one day, if you spent a week here you would hardly be able to get to all of the pistes. The abundance of high speed lifts and gondolas also ensured that we essentially never had to wait to get in some wonderful skiing in a gorgeous location.

St. Anton am Arlberg is the cradle of skiing and has a huge and well-developed ski area. Modern gondolas and lifts. If you like off-piste in pristine terrain and wonderful après ski, this is the place to choose in the Alps ⛷☃️🍻

I have been here several times. Always too crowded even on weekdays. I have snowboarded when their snow was good, but I feel like most of the times I have visited the slopes are icy and hard. Not sure if it’s the direction the slopes are facing. This last time I went it was more ice skating and less snowboarding.

Ski resort with famous name but the operation lacks compared to other ski resorts. It seems to me that when there is snow during the night it takes them too long to open. Also, when there is no operation, anybody will tell you the current status. We took ski bus to Stuben, they tell us that we have to take the ski bus to Lech. This ski bus schedule is once per hour and it just left. So we go back to the hotel to drive the car. 30 minutes later we check the ski lift status and ski lift is open. Terrible experience. I am not coming back.
Summary:
Pistes: 4* - can be challenging
Operation: 1*
Ski lifts: 3* - not the newest ones, some places are queued due to small capacity
Food: 2* - overpriced compared to Sella Ronda (Lech and Zurs)

Skiing Arlberg is one of the best Skiing Areas in the world! But famous Skiing Resorts are always very expensive…. !
So 5 stars for the skiing area and 3 for the prices

Beautiful but NOT for beginners
First of all the area is stunning, the scenery the buildings - everything is like something from an Alpine postcard.
Every restaurant we ate in over a week long trip was fantastic, however expensive, with the Post and Hotel Krone being our favourites.
Our hotel, Garni Schneider, was in a perfect location for the ski lifts and restaurants. One thing the resort overall is is missing is bars and a bit of nightlife.
Now the important part, skiing. This is 100% not a resort for beginners. If you read some of the reviews at 3 stars and below you will see the same comments. I class myself as a beginner having learned on artificial snow slopes and then having been on two prior ski holidays to Morzine, France. In Morzine I was comfortable on ALL of the blue slopes and even managed to challenge myself on a couple of red slopes. In Oberlech I couldn’t do the blue slopes, or when I did some of the “easier” ones (210) I was not able to enjoy them. The run down to Lech town was very steep and by 2pm covered in moguls (see photos). There are also a lot of really experienced skiers there who will zoom past you on the blue slopes. Nothing at all against them, but it does make it even harder. There are other things to do like nice walks, gondola rides, tobogganing and St Anton is a nice little town not too far away.
Another tip is to bring cash, anything under 10 Euros and they don’t accept card in Austria. Taxis and buses are cash only.
If you are an experienced skier, you will love this place! I was jealous of all those making it look so easy! :-) If you’re not and you want to enjoy the skiing, don’t go. Lots of the reviews on websites will say that it is good for beginners, it’s definitely not. Also worth noting that there are no green runs in Austria.

Super unprofessional bad weather handling on Easter! Discretionary closing of bunch of lifts, no bus coordination, unfriendly personal.
A resort with such a heritage and visiting since decades, I expect matching to the first class prices a first class bad weather coordination.
Unbelievable for three days in a row and no improvement…
Guys, a lot to do on your side!

I can't recommend this ski area. Due to it's size, the ski map is not very clear and pistes are poorly signposted. If you get lost then you risk being stranded a long way from your hotel. Also, because the area is made up of separate ski resorts that have combined, you'll find the connections between the resorts are not easy to navigate.
If you really want to go, DO NOT purchase multiple days on one pass. We had purchased 4no. 4 day tickets for the whole Ski Alberg area but we were only able to ski for 3 days because on the 4th day the weather was bad.
We asked at the ski ticket point if we could have a credit for the day we lost but they refused, because our 4 day pass was "used" for 3 days. It cost us €284. I emailed customer service and they said that because a very small ski lift on a beginner slope was in operation the ski area was not technically closed.
Corporate greed.

Lech is Topnoch skiing area. Wide slopes, super groomed slopes and super good vibe in the restaurant. We really enjoyed it! It is true not a beginner friendly skiing slops.
Located in Friedrichshafen, Germany, the Zeppelin Museum is a top attraction that offers a rich display of exhibitions and art inspired by air travel. Housed in the historic Bauhaus building of the former harbor railway station, this museum is dedicated to showcasing the history of airship travel through an extensive collection of over 1500 unique items and historical multimedia resources. One of its main highlights includes the partial restoration of LZ 129 Hindenburg.
Super interesting museum about Zeppelins and the history of dirigibles in general. They used to build Zeppelins in Friedrichshafen, so now there is this museum. Inside there is a full sized section of the Hindenburg passenger compartment which you can explore, and a cool retro 3d film room. There are tons of historical exhibits, and a hands-on room with aeronautical experiments to play with. If you're in Friedrichshafen, it's worth visiting this museum.
Mike Harms — Google review
It was interesting. The entrance it's about 12 € per person. Big enough the place but still something was missing to give 5 stars. I feel like if they could have more interactive things would be more interesting.
There was a painting area what I did not understand how is connected to Zeppelin...
I saw a little cabin lots of stuff from that century...parts, clothes typewriter, coins and stamps...etc.
I'm sure is also good for kids and they had a little area outside (near the front door) a "Zeppelin" playground. Looks like Zeppelin aircraft.

Interesting to know Zeppelin history. Nicely organized museum. You get to see two generic sections explaining history, mechanical design details( with kids there are small activities also explaining few principles along with few post cards to take away) and lastly with a 2-3 minute theatre clip. Also attached is a v2o restaurant, popular one in Friedrichschafen. Time to spent depends on your interest but typically could take 1.5 to 2 hours.
Mahi Ratnaakaram — Google review
Overall, the museum is pretty impressive as far as what exhibits it has on display, to include the largest remnant from the Hindenburg. There are also pieces from the Graf Zeppelin, and a room full of Zeppelin memorabilia and collectibles.
It was nice to see the audio commentary available in several languages, just wish that that the same could be said about some of the text as well. I just wish there was a focus on the DELAG airline, as I feel like that's a lesser known part of aviation history.
Either way, if you're an aviation fan, this place is well worth your time.

Very interesting museum having a very large collection of history about the time that zeppelins were invented and built.
There is a partial replica of the hindenburg on display, which gives a great impression of how it was to travel at the time in this craft. You can walk through the rooms and look out of the windows of the cabin of this replica.
There are many different models on display of zeppelins and their inventors and constructors. Also, other products that were produced at the zeppelin factory are on display like exclusive cars and special highly technical equipment parts that were sold to their customers.
I did not know, but the zeppelin fortune was donated to a foundation that still exists today and comprises many companies and the proceeds of which are used for good causes in friedrichshaven

This museum is surprisingly entertaining. There's something about the way they built an actual part of a Zeppelin into the building that just makes it so unique. And the way they present details about how Zeppelins were made & how they work is so well done. You come out of there feeling like a Zeppelin engineer ready to make a Ted talk. Kids will love it too, lots of quirky nerdy stuff for them to do and learn from; just absolute gold, worth a visit.

Most happy that I decided on a couple of nights in Friedrichshafen so that we could make the most of a visit to the museum, without any time pressure to rush through.
I can't recommend the Zeppelin app highly enough; its feature of making available commentaries on nearby exhibits was first rate. It has the added benefit of being able to revisit information afterwards.
I don't know if the information cards that are available to pick up around the museum are supposed to be for children only, but I (hopefully) got the full set.
Included is a full scale replica of part of the Hindenburg.
For a complete excursion into the world of dirigibles, especially the most famous, synonymous name of Zeppelin, there can be no better destination

The Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshafen is an absolute gem! I had an incredible experience exploring its rich history and the fascinating world of airships. The museum’s well-curated exhibits are both informative and visually captivating. From the meticulously restored Zeppelin artifacts to interactive displays, it offers a comprehensive journey through the era of airship innovation. The highlight was walking inside a life-sized replica of a Zeppelin gondola. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate, eager to answer any questions. The museum’s location on Lake Constance provides a stunning backdrop. Whether you’re an aviation enthusiast or history buff, this museum is a must-visit.

Interesting museum for anyone interested in the history of aviation. Not a huge museum, but lots of knowledge if interested. Not too much for young kids.

The Abbey Library of Saint Gall is a magnificent example of rococo architecture located in Switzerland. This library, which once stood next to an abbey that was destroyed by fire, contains over 170,000 religious texts and is considered one of the oldest in the world. Along with the rest of the Benedictine monastery founded by St. Gall in 612, it has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Very beautiful library, UNESCO world heritage site, somehow it is smaller than I expected and it is pretty dark inside. You are not allowed to take pix. The cathedral is probably the most beautiful in the whole Switzerland. They have a very informative audio guide you can rent for 5 chf. Most of the Kloster is occupied by school, government offices and banks.

Although the library itself is just a one hall portrayed everywhere, I would rate it 5 stars.
The library was a bit disappointing as I was expecting to walk through more rooms/ stairs and corridors like that, to be charmed by the world of books and rare volumes. There is just what you saw on flyers, nothing more. BUT 🪄
The library has two more breathtaking exhibitions, and we were impressed by the effort of those people working to save and protect the rare documents and historical monuments for future generations.
It is definitely worth a visit and people of different ages will enjoy the place.

It's a must to visit this place. The books are well kept and the ambience is serene. Beautiful place with great artistic artwork. You will be brought back to olden times. Must wear slipper on top of your shoes so that you will protect the floors since its old and creaking everytime someone walk. There's a mummy placed in the library. Swiss Travel Pass is free when you enter the museum but you must get ticket at the counter 1st. There's also museum of books and many more in the cellar. It's a shame we cannot take photograph in there.

Certainty one of the best places to visit in Switzerland. The library is stunning, I wish I could study there. People complaining about the price for “one room” didn’t go to the museum under the library which has the whole story of St-Gallen and is a quite interactive museum. A must go if you’re interested in Roman Empire, Christianity and Swiss history.

A UNESCO-listed cultural gem that houses a remarkable collection of manuscripts and rare books dating back to the 8th century. Expect to wear slippers before entering the library's Rococo-styled hall with its towering shelves, antique globes and even a mummy at its far end!
Once done, head to the basement and to the other part of the premises for multimedia shows and further sights.
A must-visit if you're in this part of the country!

Definitely check this out, if you ever find yourself in St. Gallen!
Tickets appear expensive at first at 18 CHF (free if you’re a Raiffeisen member), however they grant you entry to 3 different exhibits, so I personally think that’s not too bad.
The library is just one large room, but it is so beautiful and well-kept, so I was not disappointed.
There is lots to see and learn here, so I would plan at least 2 hours -If you plan to take a break at the cute café too, plan at least 3 hours :))
Finally, while I didn’t take any pictures there, I highly recommend you also visit the church (no ticket needed).
Have a nice time!

Got the audio guide as an afterthought and it turned out to be the best 5 francs I've spent since arriving in Switzerland. It adds so much to the experience of visiting the library, the church and even the areas outside of the abbey (there is a walking tour for the city built in).

The Abbey Library in St. Gallen offers a captivating experience, especially if you have a Swiss Pass—making it a budget-friendly choice.
While the library might not be as expansive as expected, the magic lies in its ancient books and the breathtakingly spectacular ceiling. It's a unique, one-time visit that leaves a lasting impression.
Other attractions in the area may not match the library's charm, but they contribute valuable insights into St. Gallen's history and architectural wonders.

Mainau Island, accessible via a bridge on Lake Constance, is a verdant haven created by Prince Lennart Bernadotte. The island boasts beautiful parks and gardens with an array of flowering plants and towering trees that offer guests a sense of tranquility and beauty. Its complete isolation from the outside world gives it its unique character. Despite its popularity as a weekend destination, the picturesque scenery and serene atmosphere make Mainau Island an ideal place for leisurely walks with loved ones on a Sunday.
Prince Lennart Bernadotte created a natural fairy tale on his island. Vases with flowering plants, fragrant rose gardens, trees of incredible height envelop guests with a sense of Harmony and Beauty.

Nice garden island with flowers, you can smell scent of flowers while entering the garden and there are different plants. Little pond with ducks and fishes. There is little farm with goats where kids can feed and play around with goats and a play area for kids with small pool. Good restaurants. Can spend around 2 to 3 hours here. Boats towards Meersburg or Konstanz is not very frequent so plan accordingly. Entrance ticket 22 EUR per person looks overpriced.

There are many types of plant and flower here. You should come here from around middle of April to middle of July in order to have the best experience.
From the harbor on the Mainau island, you can take boat trip to Konstanz harbor or to the other side of Bodensee at Meersburg. It's a good way to enjoy the beauty of Bodensee. 😉

OVER PRICED - TOO MUCH HYPE - NEVER A MUST SEE SPOT.
Just reached home after a disappointing visit to 'Insel Mainau'.
€26 for a very average "botanical" garden. Simply looting the money hyping this spot as a must see in the locality.
A visit could be recommendable if entry costed €10 or €15. That is our "rating" for the spot. An additional €6 was needed for the parking. So we, as a group of 4 couples had to spent €110 for a very basic attraction. So NEVER a MUST SEE per our experience. (Keukenhof garden in Amsterdam visit cost €20 -OR- Munich Botanical garden just costs just €5)
Kids can enjoy a bit as there are some interesting options for them like 'Kinderland', Pony area, animal feeding area etc. The garden was really disappointing with the "quality" of flowers and maintenance. Some guest-house gardeners in and around the area had better knowledge on how to maintain gardens.
The attitude of the staff was very disappointing. Specially the person at that time who was standing at the ticket check area. I asked for a map which was next to him in hundred's - And he simply said "I CANNOT GET ONE". His face felt (for me) like I asked him to give me his salary for that month!
Mainau Island is recommendable only if you have no other plans to kill your time. Still, if you plan to visit - better take a ticket online which can be available at €23 and will help you skip the ticket counter queue (ticket counter only accepted cash on our day of visit - unbelievable in 2022). And better plan a complete day at the place to comfortably walk through the whole area.

We as a family have been to this island several times and we never get tired coming to this island. It is such a beautiful and serene place.
Every month of spring, summer and autumn has something to offer and a different shades of flowers bloom. March is the time for crocuses and daffodils, April the time of sakura magnolias and tulips, May & June the time of roses, August the time of lotuses & dahlias.
It is such a joy to visit the island. The boat ride from Konstanz to Mainau during sunny days is simply mesmerizing. Nowadays you can purchase the entrance ticket online and do a no touch check-in via the QR code.
In our latest visit there was this musical instruments along with orchids exhibition which was just wow!
There are plenty of restaurants to eat, a play area for the kids, some animals, a pappilonrama and a lot of benches with shades. If you want to bask in the sun, grab a chair in the chinese/japanese garden and be on that chair for 20 minutes. You will feel rejuvenated!
If you do come in late March, early April look for that sakura tree near the 100 year old redwood trees. That sakura tree is right from the story books. Sit below its falling petals and contemplate the ephemeral nature of this life. Live it and enjoy!

A must see when nearby.
Many say it is costly, it is.
However it is simular to visiting a zoo but instead of animals you have all sorts of plants. You can spent a whole day here if you want.
Don't hesitate, just do it!
Some pictures to show a minority of the islands beauty.
The tourist attraction SEA LIFE Konstanz is a place where different kinds of aquatic animals from around the world are housed in five pools. These pools simulate their natural habitats, giving visitors an opportunity to see some of the top creatures in the world up close.
Great place with small kids. Lot of interactive toys, and places to crawl into. I really enjoyed the area with the penguins. It's well done. Also nicely done the area with the local fishes, it helps the kids to see what is there in the lake. Unfortunately some toys were not available due to Covid regulations.
But altogether great place to spend a couple of hours.

A wonderful place where children or adults can see different species of fish from around the world, bonus sharks or penguins at the end of the tour. Upstairs there is also an exhibition of stuffed wild animals, beautifully arranged and with a detailed description. A bit exaggerated ticket prices which will be purchased online. The parking was somewhere at 4E for four hours inside the complex. I was also in the summer in the port area, absolutely gorgeous, full of tourists but now in the winter a bit too quiet.

Overall I enjoyed my visit, but there were a couple inconveniences that don't let me give it 5 stars.
I know maintaining such a place is a massive undertaking, but 20€ feels expensive. Had it been cheaper, I would visit it again sometime.
The underwater tunnel wasn't optimally maintained, the glass is very, very scratched, and some parts had a layer of dirt/dust.
The penguins were acting strange, stuck to the display glass. I felt sad for them, it was an anomalous behavior, and made obvious that they don't belong there.
On the good side, it was nicely decorated. The nature museum was a bit underwhelming, but I felt the passion put into the still animals, interacting with each other and their environment. Explore it thoroughly, my favorite part of it was hidden!
It took me slightly less than 1h30min to visit it alone. If you can afford it, I'd recommend checking it out at least once.

This is one of the better Sea life parks. You will need to purchase tickets online and reserve a time slot. The slot can be moved up to five times, which we had to do, since our connection was late.
The experience was great - kids loved all the large aquariums and these fishes.
The location is very convenient if you arrive via ship in the harbour - just a short walk across.
Be aware that the ferry harbor is far outside and you will need to take the bus.

Too many people and not enough space/staff to organize. The aquarium praises itself with a big variety of animals, but you won’t need more than 45 minutes to look at everything😬.
Only interesting for young children.
Additionally the animals didn’t seem to have a lot of space and seemed distressed by the huge amount of people.
Would not recommend; too overpriced and not well maintained.

Sea Life is a serene haven for anyone fascinated by the mysteries of the sea. Whether you're a marine biology enthusiast or a family looking for an educational outing, this harbor provides a harmonious blend of entertainment and enlightenment. I highly recommend Sea Life for a day filled with awe, wonder, and a newfound love for our marine neighbors.

It's much smaller in the inside than it looks from the outside. There are aquarium sets I really liked, such as the sunken ship but it is quite a short visit and for the efty price, it's definitely not a good quality/price ratio. There are much nicer, bigger, modern aquariums which are cheaper. I understand its situation probably doesn't make it ideal but this place cannot compete with other aquariums I've visited. Simple.

I paid 22€ for only 20 mins.
If the price is 11€, it's fair enough.
