The Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp is one of the most notorious sites of the Holocaust. It contains displays of gas chambers, and remains almost completely intact. It is essential to visit both Auschwitz I and Birkenau in order to truly understand the horror of the place.
A must see in Poland. There is so much history here. It's a much more real experience to see the remnants first hand than to learn about it in school.
Garrett Descoteaux-Friday — Google review
It's worth going here to get some understanding of the scale and suffering that Jews and others had handed out by the Nazis during their time in power.
Walking around the camp just shows what man can do to fellow man. The suffering and death on an industrial scale.
The museum does well to preserve the past so we don't forget.
There is a lot of walking involved so plan ahead especially if you take a guided tour as they move quickly but do give you lots of information about the camp and the people who went through the gates, many for the last time.
Chris Mcloughlin — Google review
I am giving five stars mainly due to the fact that many people and organisations have taken concrete steps to ensure people don't forget what happened here during WWII. This place is a reminder of the darkest side of human nature, to torture and kill another human for the heck of it..
I would recommend this visit to everyone, and to soak in the history that took place not so long ago.
Rajan Thambehalli — Google review
It feels wrong to mark your experience as "loved it" for such a somber trip. It is however a trip everyone should make at least once in their life. Soon people who survived this horror will not be among us. It's important we remember and never let something like that happen again.

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

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

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

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

Powerful to say the least!
This was part of my bucket list of places to visit and WOW it did not disappoint. Moving does not do this place justice, understanding what the Jews, gypsies and other minorities went through during the Second World War, you can watch as many documentaries as you like but actually walking in their footsteps really does bring it home…..Unforgettable

The Sedlec Ossuary is a small Gothic chapel decorated with garlands of human skulls and bones. It is also known as the Roman Catholic Cemetery Church of All Saints with the Ossuary, and it was built in 14th century AD as one of the earliest holy grounds in Central Europe.
While visiting Prague, Czech Republic we took the train to Kutná Hora to explore this unique church. The bones of people have been arranged as decorations and lamps. Piles of skulls are also stored there. #CulturalLandmarks_KutnaHora

Thousands of human bones arranged in intricate patterns, chandeliers made of skulls and dim lightning create a chilling and haunting atmosphere. A humbling reminder of our own mortality. Wanted to visit the place ever since I have seen it on the pictures over 30 years ago.

Small and nice town a bit away from Prague. Better to go with car. Parking is available. Couple of churches and the famous bone museum. Bones are real by the way 😫
Shahriyar Shirinov — Google review
Worth a 1 hour trip on train from Prague. Train was late like 20 min, so pay attention. Once you're in Sedlec it's an easy 15 min walk to the church. Tickets are not sold there, you have to go back about 200m and buy it in info building. The amount of bones and skulls will send chills on your spine.
Alexander Paulavec — Google review
One of a kind place in the world, I must say.
Just amazing. Made out of human bones and skulls, this ossuary is a remarkable place to visit.
Remember, they do not allow photography inside now as stupid people have abused it as some kind of a haunted place on a social media.
You can either visit it first before entering the town or plan it at the end of the trip.
Rushikesh — Google review
The ossuary is a small basement, can be seen in 10 to 15 minutes. Nevertheless, the trip is worth it. The cemetery has a lot of interesting information too, and the Mary’s Ascension Cathedral is very close. Good visit spot.

Had to buy the tickets at the info centrum 150 meters away. We weren't allowed to take pictures in the chapel. I was able to take pictures upstairs tho. But besides that I recommend visiting, it is beautiful and scary at the same time.
Lovana — Google review
This is worth the trip from Prague. Very easy to get to by train! Make sure you buy your tickets from the information centre before heading up to the church as they don’t sell tickets at the church.
Although the church is full of bones it is not “creepy” in anyway but instead quite spiritual. There is no photography allowed.
There are guides you can hire from the town to give you a tour however the audio guide you can get inside the church along with the pamphlet is all you really need!
There are souvenirs at both the I go centre and in the church at reasonable prices and helps keep the church “alive” as they get no other funding!
The lady at the info center is super helpful!

Andres Infantas (King Fuego) — Google review
My first recommendation is to buy a digital combination ticket online before you travel. The ticket is valid for up to a year, so you don't have to pick a date. They don't sell tickets at the ossuary, so if you have a digital ticket with you, you can just scan and go and don't have to make your way to the visitor centre 150 meters away.
If you like ossuaries, you'll love this one. It's definitely macabre, but so beautiful! Bones and skulls have been arranged into intricate sculptures and decorations, it's stunning to look at!
It's a rather small church, but if this kind of thing interests you, you'll have plenty to look at. It's currently under renovation, so parts of the church are blocked off with scaffolding and tarps, but it's still a stunning place to visit.
Very close to other sights in Kutna Hora, so absolutely worth the trip down.

Rebecca Gallagher — Google review
You are not allowed to take pictures inside. You have to buy entrance tickets either online, or around the corner from up the street there is a store that sells entry tickets. A standard ticket gets you entry into sedlec ossuary and a church around the corner from where you buy entrance tickets from. Highly recommend going to that church as well.. the paintings are stunning.

This place has its own unique way to show you the darkness. I did remove one star, for the considerably over priced ticket for this small place. I removed another one, the place was even smaller due to construction, the cost is covered from the tickets currently sold. Additionally, a very short version of history is shared for the visitor.
Alexandros — Google review
I've visited twice over the past year and it's an impressive sight and quite a unique place. Note that taking photos is no longer allowed.
The place is under renovation as they are cleaning/restoring some of the bone piles and there are support ls to keep the church safe.
In the season it can be really busy as busses full of tourists can be dropped in regular intervals. Buying the ticket online makes it easier to get it, and not wait at the ticket office, which is down the street.
Bart Planting — Google review
Not worth the admission. The actual place is very small and lacked information. Can finish the visit in 5 minutes but takes over an hour to get here from Prague.
Also, photos are prohibited but no one enforces it. Just don't be obvious.
The Old Town Square in Prague is a historic plaza that features many noteworthy Gothic and Baroque buildings. The square is a popular destination for tourists and locals, who come to admire the scenery and historical landmarks. The plaza also features a statue of Jan Hus, a religious reformer who was martyred in the 1500s.
An awesome place, that's for sure. One cozld spend hours there and still discover more and more details that are amazing. The buildings are beautiful and there are guides all around. There are a few food stands as well with Czech specialties for decent prices. It can get a little crowded every now and then, but most groups just rush on by and leave the place open and quiet after a few minutes. It was very clean, as well.

A great place to visit especially during the holiday season. Christmas market was packed but it was a beautiful scene. Lots of food, vendors, shopping, and nice scenery.

This was my favorite place to be in Prague, whether in the daytime or at night. It is full of energy and beauty. I went up in the Town Hall Tower (without a guide) and it was 300 CZK so about $13.50 and totally worth it. Next time I would go with a tour which happens every 2 hours because they take you underground. Lots of shops and restaurants and the Clock Tower is beautiful!

The town square is aesthetically pleasing. It is advisable to visit during the spring or autumn seasons to avoid large crowds. I spent four days there, which was insufficient time to fully experience all that the city has to offer. 😄 The city is exceptionally beautiful! 😍

Very beautiful Old Town Square, a church with two towers, as if materialized from a fairy-tale world. A huge monument, where people each with their own facial expressions, the sculptor managed to convey the character of each image, the sculptures came to life for a moment ... And these inscriptions around the perimeter of the monument, parting words to descendants, take it to the soul .... Yes, this square is so mesmerizing, which takes you back to the Middle Ages. It is very cool!

I recently visited Prague and was able to stay just off of Old Town Square and the views are absolutely beautiful! You can visit the statue of John Huss, the town hall, various restaurants, and some little shops scattered around the square. At night, there were carriage rides and live music, and the lit up buildings were completely breathtaking. If I am ever in Prague again, I definitely want to stay in the same area!

Cool place to sit and chill on one of the benches at the middle of the square!
It’s super close to a lot of sights worth seeing and it has a lot of restaurants and cafes around.
The only downside is the prices you pay in the restaurants around the square - if you walk 300 meters from it (not toward the bridge) it will get alot cheaper.

Go in the morning! Not even super early. Get there at 8:30-9 am and you'll still find the place deserted because all the tourist attractions open at 9:30.
2 hours later, you'll find it difficult to walk without elbowing someone.
Definitely get a ticket to visit the town hall. You can climb up for a beautiful view of the city.

Old Town Square is a landmark in Prague. On the square is a 12th-century building, White Horse. If you enjoy dining in a place with a wonderful atmosphere and delicious food, this restaurant is a must! You should eat downstairs to get the full effect of this restaurant. I had the goulash in the bread bowl, which was phenomenal! My husband had the spicy sausage. He loved it! There was live music on Friday night, which we really enjoyed! This is a place you must visit when in Prague!

This gorgeous, fun area is filled with restaurants, shops, and historic sites. If you visit the Old Town Hall be sure to watch the clock at 10 a.m. You will see the skeleton ring his bell to start the 12 disciples making their way past the windows. Purchase tickets to go to the top of the tower. The views of Prague are a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Don't miss the Illusion Museum and the Gallery of Steel Figures. Both are outstanding places to visit! And be sure to sample a chimney cake from one of the vendors. Old Town Prague might be the best area I've ever visited in many years of travel.

Old Town Square in Prague, Czech Republic, is the absolute best. It's feels as though you've stwp back in time. The magnificent building leaves you in awe. I looked up the whole time in Prague. I was told several movies are filmed in Prague because it resembles Paris. Paris wishes it was this beautiful. In the Old Town Prague, we rented scooters and drove around the cobbled streets. There was a bike lane that really helped.
We stopped and had a lovely dinner on multiple nights and ice cream in the streets. Old Town feels like fairytale meets Games of Thorns. It was quite expensive to eat in the tourist areas. In fact the prices were more expensive than the USA.

Cobbled streets with amazing architecture, old town square in Prague is a fine piece of art. It's like a painting 😍
One of the best squares i have seen in any of the European cities. You get hacked, when you are strolling on the cobbled streets of this place. And take turns to explore each of the location.
I strongly recommend to visit this place if you happen to be in Prague 👍👌

Iconic views you’ll have seen in images the world over finally comes to life when you stand in the centre of the world famous old town square . 360degree views offer an amazing opportunity to take pictures and shoot video reels recognisable to many . The best time to catch the square is very early morning as the sunrise happens . You won’t find the square to yourself at anytime but very early will see a lot less tourists taking the opportunity of exclusivity . A must see on your trip to Prague

We visited for the Christmas Markets and we were not disappointed. A beautiful square with so many stunning buildings, including churches & monuments. The Christmas stalls were mainly selling delicious smelling food & drink but also lots selling Christmas gifts & novelties. The smell of cinnamon was lovely & the mulled wine.
The centre piece was a huge tree decorated with baubles and lights.
We visited firstly during the day and loved it but we returned the following day in the evening and it was spectacular the lights were amazing (the tree is switched on fully every evening) the whole square had a different feel to it so alive & vibrant. The food smelled even better & we succumbed to a hot dog each which was delicious plus my husband tried the old Prague ham.
There was music & lights and it felt so festive it was very heartwarming to experience it.
You can even go on a horse drawn carriage ride
A lot busier than daytime as there were people everywhere but everyone was in good spirits.
If you're there for Christmas it's a must

Old Town Square in Prague is the heart of the city and a true architectural gem. The centerpiece, the Astronomical Clock, is a masterpiece, though sometimes crowded with tourists. Surrounding it, you'll find stunning Gothic and Baroque buildings, each with its unique character. Cafes and restaurants offer great views, but they can be pricey. The square's atmosphere comes alive with street performers and market stalls, especially during the holiday season. Despite the crowds, it's a must-visit for its historical significance and captivating beauty.

The festive atmosphere, adorned with twinkling lights and charming decorations, creates a truly enchanting experience. The Christmas market adds to the joy, offering delightful treats and unique gifts. The historic backdrop enhances the holiday spirit, making it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a magical winter wonderland in the heart of Prague.”

Beautiful experience with my family. If you are in Prague it is a must to come see this historical square. Personally the vendors and the souvenirs are lacking compared to what else is around the city. There are some awesome restaurants and coffee shops short walks away.
But being such an iconic square makes it worth the effort of being there.
The Staroměstská radnice (Old Town Hall) is a 14th-century old town hall that is renowned for its observatory tower and intricate astronomical clock. The structure was damaged during the Prague Uprising of 1945, but was eventually rebuilt in a more simplified style. Today, it is one of the most prominent landmarks in Old Town Square. You can tour the tower and the underground areas, as well as the city council chambers.
The Old Town hall
Look on the web for the exhibition whether is open for public the old town hall. Time to time they taken visitors inside into the old Town hall for a large tour. On the door just next to the astronomical clock is the entry and sometimes also on the door is information when they do the tour which is really worthy to take. It is quiet long tour about 2 hours and they are take you up to the tower of the old Town hall and also two level down into the historical basement. There is also historical artefacts and overall very interesting tour o with historical guidance about the old Town hall and also information provided relate to the Prague history of the town.

We enjoyed the tour. But I think that would have been nice to have a guide. A little expensive just for going up the tower. But the place is really well maintained, and they did a fantastic job with the interior. The tower is really nice.

You can go up the tower and get views of the whole city from the center. You can also see the inside of the clock where the figures spin in a circle and go out the window that's being shown outside.
There's also some really nice free bathrooms on the ground floor.

Almost missed it, as the entrance is on the left of the Astronomical Clock. The Old Town Hall is impressive by itself, but it also gives access to see the saints behind the Astronomical Clock (the ones that pop out every hour) and you also get to go up the tower and have a panoramic view of the city. The ticket is not individual and you must buy the visit for the entire building to get to go up the tower.

Beautiful design of the clock, make sure to go inside the building , and clock chimes every 5 minute before an hour . if you're inside you can watch the characters taking their turn to move . It does cost some money and a pamphlet is recommended so you know what is going on in each room for its history . Make sure to visit the tower as you get a good view of the town square even prague itself

I loved this place at least going up the tower where you can have 360 view of the city and also at the square. There is a ticket for the exhibits and the tower.

Visited the town hall / astronomical clock in a recent visit to Prague. We pre-booked tickets online and needed to exchange the online code for paper tickets at the desk prior to entry. I believe this would be useful in the summer but it was quiet enough in early February to not worry. The best part is the top of the tower which gives a great view over the main square, there are lots of steps so keep this in mind before you go. There are lifts you can pay for but they only take you some of the way.

Tip: 50% off tickets before 10am!
Great view but also incredibly beautiful inside. You can see the apostels that turn every hour from the inside.
Specially designed, unique elevator.

At first an important notice about tickets: if you buy a combined ticket for both old town hall and the tower entrance on the first floor, it costs CZK 480 for a family ticket. If you buy solely tower entrance, it will set you back CZK 600 for a family. So I recommend buying tickets on the first floor.
The old town hall is very impressive from the outside. The tower is very tall. In the inside in the “museum” there’s not much to see but it’s still worth going there. The view from the tower is astonishing. Absolutely loved it. If you’re around, it’s certainly worth it to go there and climb the tower, you won’t regret it.

The guided tours give a tour of the underground city from 1300s. Lots of history from 1780 and 1945

I loved climbing up the stairs of the building and the tower seeing all the amazing paintings and interims design. And the view from the top was beautiful! If you’re in Prague you definitely have to check this out. A little pricey, but at least that means it doesn’t get too swamped.

Must-see tour of old Prague town hall but requires planning
The Old Town Hall tours (~$25/adult) offer a behind-the-scenes look at the Astronomical Clock and a glimpse into the medieval Czech high-society homes that later became this historic attraction. The guided tours, grouped by language, occur on a couple hour cadence and are usually quickly booked out. The guides are super knowledgeable and the guided tours also feature access to the dungeons / cellars, which were on the original street level of Prague!
The clock tower observation deck is a great vantage point to see the Old Town Square and the rest of Prague. There is a lift ($5 round trip) but the ramps to walk upstairs aren’t strenuous and easily accessible.

Beautiful tower, being able to take a journey to the top was fantastic.
Amazing views from the top.
It may be worth paying the little bit extra to be able to use the lift to the very top, as it is a fair walk up, accessible however the lift may be better

A lovely clock from the outside, but I would definitely recommend buying tickets for the tour inside and to go up the tower: the view is gorgeous. The tour includes access to view the mechanism inside of the clock as well as the underground rooms beneath the town hall and is well worth the money. When ascending the tower you can pay extra to take the lift, but I wouldn't bother as there is a spiral ramp as opposed to stairs which isn't particularly challenging or lengthy to climb. You can buy tickets on the third floor but may need to come back another day for your tour, as they book up quite quickly.

Super interesting guided tour of all the chambers and the underground of the Old Town Hall. We purchased the guided tour ticket, which consists of a general explanation of chambers, clock, paintings, and underground prison. The ticket did not include the lift to the top of the tower however, so we'd recommend purchasing that if you don't want to go to the top through the curly and narrow stairs (my mum felt a bit claustrophobic so we wish we had purchased that too!). Karolina, the tour guide, was great at explaining and keeping us entertained with fun facts throughout the whole tour. We learnt a lot about how the building was designed and how it changed throughout time, the hussites and the Moravian and Bohemian empires, and the gothic style of the time. Would strongly recommend going!
Giorgia Dimiccoli — Google review
Worth popping in and ascending to the top of the clock tower for the views. You can pay extra for the lift, but alternatively you can take the lifts to level 4, before taking a ramp for a few floors, followed by a spiral stairs case. Takes about 5-10min to get up to the top.
You can also see the figurines from the atronomical clock from behind on level 1 and if you time your visit, then you can see them moving.

Charles Bridge is a beautiful, medieval bridge located in the heart of Prague. The bridge was built in 1357 and is one of the most iconic structures in Prague. The bridge is known for its 32 different points of interest and its ability to connect the Old Town with the New Town.
Absolutely good looking, many will agree the most beautiful old fashion bridge ever. Every single sculpture, statutes on the bridge are individual piece of art. When near sunset, the rivers with some boats, pigeons, view is absolutely stunning. Unfortunately the crowd is insane, rough estimate there are thousands of tourist on the bridge at the same time ALL the day time.
Lee Ivan — Google review
I loved being able to walk across the bridge! There were so many great views of Prague, and the bridge was full of local artists and musicians showcasing their work. They are in the process of revitalizing the statues, which was incredible to see when comparing the older ones to the newer ones. Like the rest of the city, my only regret was not being able to spend more time exploring! If I am ever able to return to Prague, I plan to return ❤️
Megan Gaunt — Google review
The view of the river and city from the bridge is amazing, but too many small shops make it a little crowded, street musicians add to the charm, but these small shops selling souvenirs just occupy space. Maybe they should reduce the numbers or not allow them in the centre part of the bridge. I know they are trying to make a living but the bridge isn't that wide.
Vignesh Ganesan — Google review
This city is so cool! Awesome vibe here. Cool hangouts/pubs/bars, great food, and the people are awesome! Everyone here seems to be cheerful and that is something I don’t usually find in such a touristy place. Charles Bridge is iconic and has so much to see and photograph. Lots and lots of history, and so we’ll maintained.
You can’t help but love this place!

One of the must-see Prague landmarks with incredible gothic architecture and amazing statues lining the wide, pedestrian-only bridge. Be ready for crowds though as this is a very popular spot. The bridge leads to Prague's beautiful Lesser City with lots of small shops and traders. You can climb the towers and get a great view of the bridge and surround too.
Jeremy Riley — Google review
Very beautiful bridge, connecting old town with new town. The gates at the entrance are decorated beautifully and on both sides of the bridge there are statues. On the bridge you can find a lot of street artists and small markets. Unfortunately the bridge is often very crowded and it takes you a long time to get to the other side. Would recommend to go there early in the morning or late in the evening. Definitely a sight you should not miss in Prague!

Very cool spot in Prague. You get a great view of The Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral. Plenty of places to take pictures. Artisans are selling their work on the bridge and a few musicians are playing. You can spend about 10 minutes to an hour walking up and down the bridge.

Charles Bridge is an iconic gem in the heart of Prague, offering a picturesque stroll with breathtaking views of the Vltava River and Prague Castle.

Street performers and artists contribute to the lively ambiance. It’s a cultural and architectural masterpiece that captures the essence of Prague. A must-visit for anyone seeking a blend of history, beauty, and the vibrant spirit of the city.

Enjoy it.
Here is a collection of pictures of some of the statues in the bridge.

Like the old town square, this is a bit of a “must visit” when in Prague. Read up on the history of the bridge a little bit before going to walk over it and you’ll understand a bit more of it’s significance. Not too many days of the year when it is not packed full of tourists, but it is still worth a crossing. Nice to see the artists and other local hands selling their wares here still. I crossed this bridge first time back in 2008 and it’s still got it! Be sure to stop and take in the views of the gates and the river as it is easy to get swept up in the wandering crowds.

Prague is an enchanting city, and its crown jewel, Charles Bridge, is an absolute marvel. Stepping foot on the bridge feels like entering a fairytale realm where history comes alive. The bridge's architectural splendor, adorned with captivating statues, stands as a testament to the city's rich heritage. Walking across it, you can't help but be mesmerized by the breathtaking panoramic views of Prague's stunning skyline. Charles Bridge truly embodies the essence of Prague's magic and is an unforgettable experience that will leave you in awe.

I have only problem with the street lights. They are not so well places and not add beauty to the bridge. You can feel the fresh air and see both the sides of the city. There are many old structures and good shops where you can enjoy shopping

A beautiful pedestrian bridge that deserves it's reputation. Good for sunsets, bad for midnight as the lights go off, best for mornings before the crowds gather. And there's almost always a crowd. A bit too expensive a visit to the towers in my views but I understand - there's enough people to pay the price, so why not. The view is worth it I guess. The short movie you can see in the basement is totally not worth it and a waste of time, unless you're there with kids.

Obviously a must see! We just visited (Beginning of December) and didn't think it would get too packed but it does! Comes early or late to take it all in (or both). Great views of the castle, the Petrin and several other sites. Highly recommend spending the extra to go up the tower (note you need to specify to get tickets for both Charles Bridge and lesser town tower).

Absolutely beautiful and a must walk-visit when in Prague. Even if it’s very crowded, it’s really worthy. Eventually, you can go at non-touristic hours and it would be better! The view in both sides of the bridge, is really stunning. There are also few artists selling their art on there. It’s a great way to support local artists and to get a nice memory of the trip! We got some very nice postals/paintings on there, and it was possible to pay by card.
Wouldn’t get bored to pass by the bride once and again!

The most stunning bridge I've ever seen, in plus that it can be only used by pedestrians. Beautifully enlightened in the night. Recommend going there in the winter when there are less tourist, because in the summer it is very crowded. On the bridge you can pass by many artists.

Initially I thought that going to the Charles Bridge would just be another old bridge, packed with lots of tourists. I ended up going back to the bridge four times, each time I went back I had new and interesting experiences. Go early in the morning if you want "people free" pictures. The performers on the bridge are entertaining. The bridge is also a nice spot to just hang out and visit with people.

The bridge has different look at night and daytime. There's a lot of baroque statues lining up left and right of Charles Bridge. Many people walking along the bridge and there's also sellers selling souvenirs and artworks. Under the bridge is the Vltava River. On the other side of the bridge is the city's Old Town and on the opposite side is Prague Castle.

Seeing Charles Bridge was truly amazing and unforgettable. The bridge's iconic architecture, with its stunning Gothic towers and intricate statues lining the sides, creates a captivating and picturesque scene. Walking along the bridge offers breathtaking views of the Vltava River, Prague Castle, and the city's charming skyline. The lively atmosphere, with artists, musicians, and vendors showcasing their talents, adds to the bridge's allure. Whether during the day with the sun illuminating the historic structures or at night when the bridge is beautifully lit up, Charles Bridge is a must-visit attraction that captures the essence and beauty of Prague.

This is one of the most famous bridges in Prague, and it is also the oldest bridge in the city. The sights are beautiful, whether it's dark or light outside. No matter what season. It is a good idea to be on the bridge early in the morning because there won't be many people, and the view is incredibly beautiful.
At night, it’s also crowded but quite beautiful too

A Majestic Stroll Through History.
Visiting Prague is like stepping into a fairytale, and Charles Bridge is undoubtedly one of the most enchanting chapters in this storybook city.
With its cobblestone path and breathtaking views of the Vltava River, feels like a timeless link between the past and the present.
Whether you're a history buff, a romantic soul, or simply a traveler in search of beauty, Charles Bridge is a must-visit.
Crowds are inevitable, especially during peak tourist hours, but the lively energy adds to the experience. To avoid the hustle and bustle, consider visiting during the quieter hours, allowing for a more intimate connection with the bridge and its surroundings.

Beautiful and the history is great but it is filled with tourists which makes it difficult to enjoy fully and take nice pictures. Best would be to go very early morning and beat the crowds. Evenings are also extremely busy in Prague.
We also went to Legion bridge instead and took pictures of Charles Bridge as it gives you a beautiful view which is not as crowded

Visited Charles Bridge in Prague and was captivated by its historic charm. The iconic statues, breathtaking views of the Vltava River, and the lively atmosphere made it a memorable experience. A must-visit for anyone exploring Prague's rich history and architecture. You will find a lot of artists on the bridge. It's really an amazing experience walking through the bridge, and the nice music is being played in the background.
Prague Castle is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Prague. The complex has buildings from Roman-style to Gothic and 20th century. The castle is located in the Hradcany neighborhood.
I recommend going early in the morning (before 8am) or in the evening (after 5pm). During these hours, the crowd is usually low, and you can enjoy and absorb more of the castle's beauty. I definitely recommend to go to the top of the lookout tower, as it provides a spectacular view of the entire city.

An incredible place with incredible buildings and less likely views of the city. A must visit this place, a place of strength. Very beautiful, very diverse.

Prague Castle is definitely a place to go if you are visiting Prague. There is so much interesting history and the architecture is magnificent.
I’d recommend going to the visitors point and getting an audio guide as you walk around, as this makes the experience much more extensive.
Entrance to the castle was free, which is great. There were various exhibitions on, such as a picture gallery, which you could visit with a cost.
There was a nice cafe in the castle gardens to have a refreshing drink.

Definitely worth a walk up a hill 😊. Another one of those place that is much better out of the season of early in the day to avoid crowds. Exceptional architectural marvel the provides a “ old world “ almost fairytale like feel to the place . Also very nice view points, worth exploring, around the castle overlooking the city of Prague. Only downsides are that you have to pay extra to gain access to some parts of the complex.

The church inside the castle is really amazing. Just make sure you wear comfortable shoes and try to avoid the busy time. We went there around lunch time, a lot of tourist groups and the restaurant is a little bit full as well. It will be better to come later, so you can enjoy a nice sunset view while having a nice coffee on the rooftop.

A very large castle complex comprises multiple towers and buildings. Great way to spend an entire day learning about the history of the city. If you climb the tall South Tower, you will arrive at probably the best observation deck in Prague. There was also a building that serves as a museum. Don’t forget to take a stroll down the Golden Lane before leaving!

Prague Castle is located on a tall hill and has a view of the city below. It's like its own small town. I took many pictures here, and when I showed them to my friends, they thought the pictures didn't look like they were taken in real life. People are going to claim that it is edited. The most important advice I can give about anything related to Prague Castle is to plan to spend two separate half days there. I am saying this because there will be a lot of people in the mornings, but you can use your tickets for two days. If you go in the afternoon, you can visit three or four places before they close. You can come back the next day to finish your tour. That is the most optimal way to visit this attraction. The area is very spacious, and there are buildings all around. You may not be able to enter all of them, but the ones that are open and listed on your ticket are worth visiting. Definitely worth checking out and definitely worth the effort to go up.

This place is unreal!!!!! It is hard to believe that places like this still exist. This whole city is actually unreal. This is definitely a place that everyone (if you have a chance) should visit at least once in their life time. There are so many places to see and to visit within the city.
In the castle make sure that you visit the gardens as well. If you want an even better experience, go there late at night when there is barely anyone there and the lights make it turn into a n even more magical place.

Most of the palace is actually a free to walk around area. You need to pay if you want to visit the museum parts or a small street, or the toilet. The signs are very distinguishable so you need not worry. The front yard of the castle has a narrow garden with a great view towards Charles Bridge. Exploring the small streets to get to the castle was in my opinion just as nice, so take your time and walk around.

Historic castle complex also housing the St. Vitus Cathedral, Prague castle is a must-see
I’d recommend taking a bus / transport up to the entrance as the hill it’s situated on can be a steep climb. While it’s a large complex with different museums / buildings to explore - I’d recommend walking the courtyards and visit guess interior of St. Vitus cathedral as the highlights

Stunning location with views over the city. The castle holds a beautiful cathedral in the courtyard. You have to get tickets to go into the cathedral and other parts of the castle and the queue was long so I didn't go in. Book tickets in advance if you want to see it all.

You simply must walk here through the palace gardens beginning almost a kilometer east of the palace, poised high above the city and the river. The views through the majestic trees and in and amongst the flowers, particularly in springtime, are simply regal. I have yet to sample the splendors of the interior of the castle itself but am already enchanted by what I’ve experienced on my first two visits to and through the outer walls and buildings of the castle.

Beautiful ancient castle with great architecture. You can hire a local guide if you are interested to know about the historical background. Also, there are many free tour guides in Prague whom you can book online. The Prague Castle circuit ticket also allows you to visit the Charles Bridge Museum free of charge.

Absolutely amazing venue. Superior views across Prague. I was very impressed with the food service. I was lucky enough to be invited to a special dinner. I was particularly impressed that the staff were so attentive that before my drink had finished I was presented with a drink and they remembered what I was drinking. Absolutely phenomenal. The main lady running the service was a pleasure speaking with and clearly understood how to make guests feel special. Very impressive, it's rare that I am blown away. The venue is fantastic, the balcony for drinks reception is amazing. The food was truly amazing, and the service was spectacular.

The castle looks spectacular from outside, but ordinary in the inside, we are not impressed too much. The tower offers bird eye view of Prague, but climb 275 steps pose a challenge we conquered. To summarize, after several days in Prague, we found most of the churches inside looks much the same, so we recommend you choose the free ones such as church of our lady before Tyn, for the others, we really don’t think buy the ticket is a must, take a picture from outside and visit public areas will do.

I loved Prague Castle. It is so ancient, with so much history and it has been maintained in excellent shape. It is the highlight of Prague and one of the best castles I have ever been to. Take a taxi or transit to start at the west end of the castle and then walk downwards towards downtown. Much easier.

The castle looks impressive from down below. To get up you have to climb a lot of stairs! Not recommend if it’s a hot summer day. At the top you find a overprices starbucks and the museum shop. There is no way to fill up your water bottle as there is no fountain This was really disappointing. But the castle is beautiful. The tickets are fairly prices considering you can visit different buildings. The view from the top is also great.

A lovely place to visit.
The road to the place itself is beautiful and full of amazing scenery while you go up.
Make sure to get comfy as there are a lot of stairs until you reach the cathedral itself.
As you go up, you have food and drinks option all around , as well as old town part right nearby(5 min walk).
The place is very crowded so make sure to follow rush hours and visit when its most suitable for you.
Make sure not to miss this one!

What a terrific experience. We visited the castle through one of the Free Tour web sites who helped us take a tram to the top so we could enter from a less crowded entrance. The whole place is stunning. Building after building is immaculate and the varied architecture is fascinating. Our guide pointed out the different styles and in one square you can see 4 or 5 different eras of architecture. I think I took over 400 pictures in the 45 minutes we were there and felt I barely scratched the surface. Definitely a must see!!

Cool place. You have to buy the general ticket to see inside of the churches and also the golden lane. We didn’t do that because I guess other than golden lane, the exterior of the buildings is more interesting than the interior. Also every hour you can see the soldiers doing their changing ceremony in one of the gates that opens up to the square. Overall it was worth going.
The Frauenkirche Dresdens rebuilt after World War II is a stunning example of baroque architecture and offers guided tours. Bach played an inaugural organ concert in 1736, and the church dedicates many concerts to his music.
A unique, magnificent view of Dresden that takes the tiredness of climbing up individual steps and narrow corridors to that church. To be loved, to be admired. This baroque style church, which remained a war memorial for fifty years, fascinates with its magnificence.

The Frauenkirche in Dresden is a beautiful church. This impressive building is very beautiful to look at from the outside and inside. We even had a guided tour with interesting information and backgrounds
The city that suffered the most from the destruction of World War II, demonstrates the strength of reconstruction and its beauties!

I simply love this place ❤️ I was at Dresden for 3 times but I was waiting for 20 years to get there. From my childhood we had at our library book about Dresdener museum and I want to get there since I was 5. So my dreams come true and now I am visiting this lovely place approx twice a year.

Frauenkirche ( "Church of (our) Lady"), in Czech Church of Our Lady, is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Dresden. A really awesome Baroque buildings in Germany.
Unfortunately we didn't get to go inside.

Like all buildings from Dresden, this wonderful cathedral has been completely rebuilded and finished 60 years after the bombing from '45. The baroque style respect every details from the old cathedral and it looks gorgeous. Do not miss to get inside, it is overwhelming.

The Church of “Our Lady”, which withstood the cannon shots of the Prussians, as well as the air raid of the British army. It fell only due to the melting of the sandstone by fire, rebuilt. Incredible work

Beautiful church to visit. Cost is free to go into the church. You can ascend to the dome for 10 euro. Well worth it. 70 meters high (221 ft) to viewing area. I counted 304 stairs descent with 300 meters of spiral climb (non steps)

We visited the nearby bridge to witness the colourful new year celebrations. If you don’t eyewitness it you won’t be able to feel the ambience as well. Few photographs have been captured to have a look later, however, which is not sufficient, I believe.

What a marvelous church and rich history that comes with it. It was bombed and destroyed during WW2 by ally forces and left in ruin during the communist rules. Then, the church was rebuilt in 8the 1990s and stands firm as a witness of history.
The lady staff holding an album of the historical photos near the front area was extremely helpful by explaining its history to visitors. Highly recommended!

A beautiful church located in the middle of Dresden's old city centre. It's a must-see when you visit Dresden. The church was heavily destroyed during World War II but has been beautifully reconstructed. Admission to the church is free of charge. The interior is also breathtaking.

Iconic and historically significant, the church feels light and cheerful. I visited for a baroque music concert and enjoyed the acoustic and atmosphere.
The Imperial Castle of Nuremberg is a majestic castle complex from the 11th century that includes a royal palace and gardens, offering breathtaking views of the city. Originally built as a court, it later became infamous for being used by the Third Reich to enact oppressive laws in 1935. However, its most notable historical event was hosting the 'Nuremberg Trials' after World War II.
I had a great time walking around the castle, appreciating the history and contemplating what my home country looked like at the time the castle was built and bustling with activity. I went on a rainy, dreary day but I still had good views of the surrounding area.

Wow, wow, wow. Excellent castle visit to the Imperial Castle.
Located at the top of a hill, overlooking the city of Nuremberg, the Imperial Castle is reached after a serious climb uphill. Not difficult for the fully able ,it is a long rather arduous slog up to the courtyard.
*******,Handicap VERY difficult , if not impossible, not made any easier by the cobblestone road .*********( that said, I did see a gentleman with a walker!!!)
The museum entry is 7 Euros, 6 if you are a senior or a student.
Wow----super excellent presentation and displays of the medieval history of this castle 🏰. Armaments, armor, clothing, artifacts, explanations and visuals were superb. One of the best. Great value for the money!!!!
Restaurant in the courtyard
BEST VIEWS OF NUREMBERG. PHOTO OP ++++++!!!!!!
Restrooms available.
Free brochures.
Recommended highly 👌 👍 👏
Final take . Prep yourself for the climb up but well worth it

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

It was amazing to visit this imperial castle of Nuremberg. The constructions were protected with 3 layered thick wall with around 10 ft thickness and 2 stages of different heights. The tunnels, the rooms, the towers, the gardens, the dungeons, the underground pathways designs and the city view points were awesome to see. I felt like I entered in the Game of Thrones series.

Amazing medieval castle that have been kept so well.
This is truly a castle with super strong defense.
Not far from the city center market, easy to walk to. Free to walk into it and there is a good view of the old town.
Even though Nuremberg was 90% destroyed during WWII, the old town was rebuilt and restored according to the pictures they had of the old buildings and structures. So, much of the history is preserved. Otherwise, if they had decided to build everything new, there would not be not much of the past left to see.
Very impressive old town city market with a gorgeous fountain and church, and you can buy fantastic food, flowers, gingerbread cookies….
If you are a WWII history fan, then you have a lot more places to see.
Really worth visiting.
Bei Lu — Google review
It's incredible how well-preserved the castle is post-World War II. Its grandeur and size are truly breathtaking. From the top, overlooking the town, you understand why it was strategically placed there. The surrounding city walls in Nuremberg are still intact, offering about an hour's walk around them. Navigating the city is convenient; everything is within a 30-minute walk from the center, allowing you to discover hidden gems like bridges, churches, and historic buildings along the way. The castle itself offers free entry and plenty of areas to relax. Exploring its various sections, like the converted horse stables and food storage areas, is best with a knowledgeable local guide to delve into its history. Though it requires a bit of uphill walking, the panoramic view from the top makes it all worthwhile, showcasing the city's landmarks and beauty.

This iconic castle is likely more interesting from the outside than the inside.
Due to destruction during WWII, most of the interiors are redone as a museum. The anvient weapons and armor displays are nice.
Climbing up the tower was fun and offers great views. The deep well guided tour was the best part thanks to the enthusiastic and engaging guide.

Historical landmark & museum with commanding views out across the city. This is a must visit attraction if you’re in the city and would like to know about its foundation. Excellent exhibits, some interactive with translations available. Has a reasonably priced cafe and some gardens for relaxing in too. It can be a bit of a slog getting up the hill though. There may be accessible ways to get there that I did t see.

I still can't believe that the castle is still in such good shape after the Second World War. Breathtaking, massive, magnificent. When you go up to the top and look out over the town, you get a sense of why they built the castle where it is. I cannot get over how impressive it is. Also, Nuremberg is still surrounded by the great city walls. It takes about an hour to walk around them. That's the great thing about the city. You can walk anywhere and it never takes more than 30 minutes to get to the other side of the city centre. Best of all, while you are exploring the city on foot, you will find many other gems on your walking adventure. From bridges to churches and other lovely old buildings. Enjoy!🏰✨️
Little tip: During weekdays you can enter the inside of the castles for free. That is in the morning until 10am or so

This is a beautiful place to visit. It has a very steep cobbled path leading up to the entrance and a lot of steps inside. I bought the combination ticket which was worth it. The castle is well presented inside with educational displays. The tower is 112 steps up a spiral staircase, but the views from the top were beautiful. The tour to the well was funny and fascinating. The tour guide knew his stuff.
The English Garden is an expansive urban park in Munich, constructed in the 18th century. Spanning a vast area of 375 hectares (927 acres), it offers a multitude of activities for visitors to enjoy throughout the year. Surrounded by several neighborhoods and running alongside the river, this park boasts an impressive network of 78km (50 miles) cycling and jogging trails. Its natural beauty is enhanced by carefully designed landscapes, providing both excitement and comfort to visitors.
This place is just wow, scenic place with lot of places to admire the nature.
You can either walk, cycle inside the park, kids will. Enjoy the vast open space to play.
There is a place at entrance where people surf on the water flow.
You need at least half day to roam around the Garden to enjoy it completely

The Englischer Garden in Munich is very similar to Central Park in the United States and Stanley Park in Vancouver. It is very large, and walking or exercising here is very comfortable. I recommend that everyone who visits Munich should come and see it, especially since there don’t seem to be many places to visit in Munich.

Huge, close to town, and beautiful. You can swim, enjoy a crate of beer there, sunbathe, even surf. It does get very crowded on summer afternoons, so perhaps come in the morning from April-August. There’s plenty of shade by the sides and a couple of beer gardens for a bite and a drink. Police regularly has a presence in the area.

During summer is full of people and you can do many activities there. To play volleyball you need your own nett but eventually you also can ask to join others team. You can swim and do the famous and traditional jump from the bridge at Isar. I always go with my friends, but sometimes after work I go there just to relax, feel some sun and read my book.

Definitely a park to visit when in Munich. The English garden is very peaceful, there are many walking trails, places to sit and have a picnic or stop at the Chinese Tower where you can purchase delicious food and drinks. Don't miss the area where the river surfing 🌊 takes place. Usually 10 or more surfers line up to get their turn. All ages, young and old! We were here at the end of September 2023. Beautiful weather and really enjoyed our stroll though the park. There are maps to help you not get lost, as the park is quite large. Many tours go to the English garden, biking tours, walking tours and we ever saw horseback riding (but not sure if that was a tour). Most of the trails we were on were paved and wide. Enjoy!

This may have actually been my favorite place in Munich. Right in the middle of the city is a huge park. Luckily our hotel was right next to the park. I went for a run and/or walk every day in the park. There are so many trails that only was able to get to a small portion of the park, but it seemed very safe and it was so green with lots of rivers, streams, lakes and ponds. There are also Reataurants/Beer gardens spread throughout the park.

A wonderful park to spend time for locals and tourists alike. Beautiful during any season. Try swimming in the Eisbach river and check out the surfers at the standing wave.

An amazing park in the heart of Munich.
The park is huge and finishing without a break in a one day is really hard, impossible for me :D
There are different section in this park and even you can pass by bus as well.
Marienplatz, the vibrant heart of Munich, serves as a central gathering place for locals and tourists alike. This city-center square and transport hub is home to St. Peter's church, two town halls, and a toy museum. It is renowned for its iconic New Town Hall and the Mariensaule column dedicated to St. Mary.
A great location in Munich with countless places to shop, eat, and relax. The central square is also so large and distinct that it’s a helpful landmark for those of us visiting from out of country, and for meeting up with friends. The architecture is beautiful. The atmosphere is bustling. We had some great times, and great food here.
Overall: key location and we will return when we are next in Munich.

Main square. Very beautiful architecture, with non-standard design of balconies and stained glass windows. Each part of the buildings is unique in its own way. When you stand on this square, you temporarily forget that today is the 21st century - the surrounding environment takes you to the Middle Ages, the time of knights. This square is truly the historical center of Munich.

This place is incredible, you could stare at this building all day and still not see all the details. We went back to see the glockenspiel, at 5pm. The building could not be any more impressive. The performances in the square were entertaining too. It's definitely a spot you don't want to miss if you are in Munich. The train will take you directly there if you aren't in walking distance. There are many restaurants and shops nearby.

This town square is a must visit in Munich. The architecture is simply gorgeous, with its unique balconies and windows designs/colors. There are many street stalls selling foods and drinks, souvenirs and branded stuff. Also, numerous street artists were performing when we were there. This further adds to the colorfulness and character of the area. The design makes us forget that we are in the modern days and takes us back to many centuries ago.
There are lots to see, shop, eats for every taste and individual, from beer markets to restaurants. Our family of 4 enjoyed ourselves thoroughly here. Pity we were here on a day trip only. Will come back if we have the chance.

The centerpiece of Marienplatz is the awe-inspiring New Town Hall. Its towering spires and intricate Gothic design took my breath away. Watching the famous Glockenspiel come to life was a true delight.

Heart of the Munich City. Every person visiting this beautiful city must have visited or passed through the Marienplatz.. city center of Munich. Most of the household items and all the shops are found here. Always a crowded place. It is definitely a safe place even though it's crowded. People are nice, they just care their own business. Place for all the young people to vibe around and spend nice time with the closed ones. Great place to pass time. Looks very beautiful during the spring 🌼 and summer 🌞⛱️ season. Nice tulips flowers 🌺🌹 are planted in this place.. everyday show time for the bell ringing amazes people and keeps them wait there and watch the show for few minutes.. no tickets and entrance fee are required.

A nice place in the center of city with beautiful and amazing central location in Munich. The architecture is beautifully done. the central square is spacious and you can have a walk around old historical buildings as well as observe monuments around. They worth taking pictures of.
The main reason people love to visit here is its atmosphere at the time of ticking clock tower with dancing dolls. It has couple of very tall towers from where you can have breathtaking views of Munich city.
It’s a crowded place because main shopping street next to it. A lots of shopping stores, cafes & restaurants around for quick shopping or grabbing a quick bite.
Don’t drive there because parking is bite far but best traveling by subway. If you are planning to visit Munich, this place is a must visit.

It's an absolutely beautiful building. The clock tower rings out, high above the other buildings and through the streets. The figures dance around on a carousel. There are statues and dragons and works of stone from a very long time ago. Many people gather around, taking photos and videos as it chimes. Inside has some interesting features, like gargoyles and spiral staircase, more statues and some doors to walk through. Check it out.
Family leisure park with thrill rides & an aquarium, plus German landmarks built from Lego.
Great place for whole family. Waiting time usually not more than 15 minutes (Monday beginning of July).
Ticket price ok for adults and kids over the height limit, but far too expensive for smaller kids who are not allowed to most attractions, but still pay full price.
Food ok, the best one we found is the City restaurant with nice buffet.

All of the displays were amazing, but the lines for rides were just too long. I highly recommend visiting during a week day instead of the weekend. Our toddler didn't handle the hour plus long waits for rides, so we spent most of our time walking around and checking out the different displays.

Mostly industrial food of low to average quality. It's tapas like, so that everyone finds something matching their taste. There's more than enough, especially if you bring kids since the portions are the same for all.
The steak is reconstructed. The chicken was quite tasty (that was the best of the meal in my opinion).
The servers were really nice. The room is extremely noisy.

We went to Legoland during the Easter holiday. The amusement park is beautiful and well-organized. However, if you don't buy the fast track tickets, you'll have to wait a long time to play the games. The food isn't too expensive and quite tasty. If you visit on weekends or holidays, it's advisable to purchase fast track tickets to avoid long waits.

Very nice experience if you or even better your kid is a Lego fan. I imagine the experience for kids is really amazing. On the other hand, the park does lack rides that would be suitable for older visitors.

Amusement park for kids all ages starting from 5 or 6 years old. 2 days 2 night is perfect compromise to enjoy and have some rest however the park is not extremely huge so if not so many people best attractions can be tried in a shorter time...about the cost I wouldn't say that park, overnight, food is cheap but surely everything around including toilets are very clean

Legoland is the top attraction in case you have kids. Few tips & tricks to plan your visit well:
- if you can, plan your visit during work days, avoid weekends and public holidays. Even on Monday there were many people.
- Online tickets available only, please take care to buy it in advance. Parking ticket might be purchased online as well
- install app for queues monitoring, attractions planning, navigation
- note all rides closes 1 hr before park closing. And yes, Sealife aquarium also categorized as ride 😁Kids loved it! Diverse settings with fun rides and playgrounds. Main dining area best value to eat, especially, pizza. Take water since expensive to purchase on site. Get there early with a plan as to priorities in rides since some have longer wait times as the day progresses. I suspect summer months will have this park very crt due to its size (small).LegolandWe came here to meet friends who have older kids. I thought my one year old wouldn’t really get much from it. I was wrong! We all had a lot of fun! The duplo area is just perfect for the little ones and he absolutely loved it there! The food at the restaurant was also really good and the changing rooms are super well equipped. We’ll come back!

A great theme park with lots of activities for kids in all ages. Most of the rides are suitable for kids 6 and older, but even the older ones can find lots of fun activities. You’ll find roller coasters, water activities, 3D, maze, tea cups, food and drinks.
Don’t miss the Lego mini cities- quite remarkable!
Park closes at 18:00 and can be quite busy during the holidays.
Make sure to download the app for navigation through the park and queue times.

Basically very nice especially for smaller children. The problem is however that the park is overcrowded. During a seven hour visit you'll make maybe 30% of what you've planned. Example - savana ride. Waiting for 20 minutes for 2 minutes ride. Waiting for food is more than half an hour.

Great place for kids. Some attractions may catch attention of parents as well. Of course every attraction is hindered by queue, sometimes 40 minutes long Large parking place nearby.
Miroslav Okrina — Google review
Had a great time there with my kid and husband, spent 1 day there and we would have needed more time. We bought the tickets in advance, about 2 months before the day.
The child was able to enjoy all the attractions even though he is around 120 cm tall (for some was mandatory to have an adult with him).
All the attractions were closed at 5pm.
The food is not that good, just junk food.

If you have kid who loves Lego or not, this place is a must visit!! It’s a proper 2 days holiday to cover all the rides (may not be enough for some). Please note all rides have height restrictions- minimum requirement varies from 100 to 130cm. Those fun and fast rides require 110cm as minimum. So check the website for the minimum height requirements for individual rides. And this is strictly followed due to safety and security reasons. My personal recommendation is wait until your kid is min 120cm :)
We visited here March last week 2024 just before the Easter holidays. It was for 2 nights and booked a family room in Kings Castle. We got lucky weather was amazing!!
We didn’t have our own car so, we visited here using public transportation end to end. Günzburg is the nearest train station. There’s direct buses from station to legoland park then to holiday village (hotel, villas etc). Time table completely varies, it’s either every 30min or 1hr interval (maybe 2hr during the lunch hour). This is applicable in either direction.
Here’s how we managed our travel- we reached Günzburg by train around 11:00 and there was bus. We reached there and did complete our check in process just at the entrance. And you can drop your luggage at the check in counter. They delivered directly to the reception building at the holiday village. This made whole process easier. We directly entered the park and enjoyed our rides until 5:30pm and directly headed to holiday village. This was about 10-15min walk. We found out where the reception building was and collected our luggage and brought it ourselves to kings castle where my room was booked. Breakfast was amazing at this hotel.
There are dinner buffet was available within the village and we had reservations done whilst booking rooms. We booked Pirate and duschland, first was fantastic and other one was ok-ok sorts.
After checking out, we returned to Günzburg train stations there are bus services 30min to 1hr intervals until 12:22pm, then it starts from 14:00ish again. (During the winter there are limited options, it appears that typically from March mid frequency gets increased).
LEGO Land park is baby stroller/pram friendly.

We had an amazing day out at Legoland Germany. We stayed locally, the night before and spent the entire day there. We went mid October Monday, so crowds were small. It’s was epic. Could have easily filled in 2 days, but had to keep moving. The kids 13 & 8 loved it. Roller coasters were appreciated by both the kids and adults. As an adult, I’d have to say, way cooler than I expected. Way cooler.

LEGO land in Gunzburg is one of the best playtime for kids. You need 1 full day to cover this park.
I have been just 1 week before Halloween and it was best experience for my daughter.
Ticket prices are variable and better to book early. Also I suggest to book online instead waiting in Q.
If your kids 3 above and looking for safe rides, then this is the first choice.

We booked a 3-night stay 20 days ago, the price was 330EUR for a campervan place to park and 2 day tickets for 5 people. We arrived on Sunday afternoon, the holiday Village was rather full. The facilities were clean, there was also a special cleaning machine for chemical toilet. Just be careful, some people use drinking water to clean their toilet. Yuck. It took about 7 minutes to walk to Legoland through a small wood. In the morning they open at 9.45, the rides start at 10 a.m. The waiting times differ a big deal- we waited 30 minutes for the top rides, 5 minutes for others. When it started to rain on Tuesday, there were absolutely no waiting times and the kids enjoyed Maximus ride 5times in a row. If it rains and you have a raincoat, you are in for a lot of fun. Just a note - there are definitely not enough places to hide from rain. If it rains and you want to sit for a while, no chance... just 2 pizza places which are permanently full. The food was nothing special - fast food schnitzel rather bad (10 eur) chips good (6eur), waffles very good (6eur), pizza okay(10eur), popcorn good(5,50eur). Alltgether the kids were over the moon, a place to go.

It’s a great park if you’re a Lego fan although somehow it feels older than it is (20 years old). Rides and attractions are ok although without much capacity, meaning you need to queue a fair bunch for very short rides (2-3mins). I can’t imagine that ratio during the high-season… Most of the staff was ok and average rude, not many English speakers. Plenty of shopping opportunities. We had a great family time but it’s unlikely that we will make the trip again.
The Romer, a medieval building with a stepped gable facade, is now the town hall with a balcony and many portraits. The building has served as Frankfurt's main city hall for 600 years.
The beautiful and picturesque old town is a must visit when in Frankfurt! Amazing half-timbered buildings that were once completely destroyed by Allied powers’ bombings during WWII, now rebuilt to their full glory! Drink your coffee or beer in one of the numerous cafes and beer houses on the square, admire the architecture, take photos and travel back in time with your imagination! 100% recommended!

Its nice - the only thing to see in frankfurt really, although none of it’s original of course - the entire city burnt down during the war. I guess that’s why there’s about 5 tourists in the entire city. Anyways, if you are visiting there’s like 1 tourist shop and a few cafes to outside in. The little church is super plain inside and not really worth going in

Römerberg is the historic heart of Frankfurt, Germany. This charming square is surrounded by picturesque half-timbered houses, giving it a medieval ambiance. The iconic Römer building, Frankfurt's city hall for over 600 years, dominates the square with its distinctive stepped gables. Römerberg is not only a historic and architectural gem but also a vibrant hub with open-air markets, cultural events, and traditional festivals. It serves as a popular gathering place for both locals and visitors, offering a glimpse into Frankfurt's rich history and providing a delightful backdrop for leisurely strolls and exploration.

Frankfurter Römer, the historic city hall of Frankfurt, is a cultural and architectural gem that serves as the symbolic heart of the city. This iconic building, with its distinctive stepped facade and three gables, stands proudly in the historic Altstadt (Old Town) and has been a witness to centuries of Frankfurt's history.
The Römer's significance is not only architectural but also cultural, as it has been the site of various important events and ceremonies throughout the years. The Kaisersaal (Emperor's Hall) inside is a lavish space adorned with medieval and Renaissance artifacts, providing a glimpse into the city's past.
Surrounded by quaint half-timbered houses and charming squares, the Frankfurter Römer is a focal point for both locals and visitors. The square in front of the Römer hosts public events, markets, and festivals, creating a lively atmosphere. The building's photogenic allure is enhanced by its role as the backdrop for numerous celebrations, including the city's annual Christmas market.
A visit to the Frankfurter Römer is a journey through time, where the historic and contemporary elements of Frankfurt seamlessly converge. Its enduring charm makes it a must-see destination for those exploring the rich tapestry of Frankfurt's cultural heritage.

Stunning historical structures, main square of Frankfurt and city hall. It was too crowded when I visited there but you can take a tourist picture in front of the buildings, buy magnets etc.from souvenir shops and also grab a beer and walk the streets or lots of authentic cafes to stop by. There are also another charming old buildings like old opera and frankfurt cathedral nearby. It was such a great spot!

Perhaps it’s the most iconic spot of the city.
A nice square between the Old Opera House and the Main river ferries. I go often bec of the eateries there.
The many cafes are decent and one of them is my local friends’ favorite - they held their last three big one there - today we celebrated at their home with a dozen of close friends.
… gone off the topic again
Many couples got married at the old city hall.

The Mercedes-Benz Museum is a world-renowned museum dedicated to the history of Mercedes-Benz and the car industry. Inside, visitors can see some of the brand's most iconic vehicles from the past century, as well as models from more recent times. The museum is located in a sleek metallic building with a double helix design that allows for two parallel audio-guided tours.
What a great museum! We really enjoyed all the interactive parts of the museum and getting a walk through history viewed through the lens of the inventions and innovations with motorized vehicles. It was really fascinating and we spent more time than we planned. Plus the museum design was really neat! So glad we went!!

Absolutely stunning museum designed to hugely enhance the amazing displays of historic and current Mercedes-Benz cars. We spent over two hours there and, had it not been closing time, would have stayed a lot longer.
We thought the price of €12 per adult was excellent value for money and, as well as truly appreciating the sublime architecture, we were massively impressed by the world history displayed in the panels down each of the curving walkways on each floor.
And to the cars! An awesome display of high quality vehicles of all types with individual plaques to explain their significance. No-one could fail to be impressed by the range, quality and descriptions for each vehicle on display. From the first historic cars to the most current Formula 1 cars, the range is quite unbelievable.
The toilet, accessibility and food facilities are all top class, as is the range of items to purchase in the shop. In all, a highly recommended experience which is too good to miss if you're in Stuttgart. Thank you!

One of the best automobile museums that I have been to (as an automotive enthusiast)! The museum was filled with not only detailed history about the car as a mode of transportation, but also world history so that one could understand the context of which the inventions or innovations were made in. Such a diverse collection of cars, iconic and legendary. 4 stars because I would have loved to see the latest cars from Mercedes-Benz. The newest ones in the museum were only concept cars from the past decade. Bit disappointed in this respect but all in all, worth the visit!

The MERCEDES-BENZ MUSEUM was amazing! When you first arrive, you take the elevator to the top floor and walk down the spiralling path. It starts with the earliest vehicles and the vehicles get progressively newer the further down you go. The museum was well laid out with plenty of lighting. The parking garage on the backside of the museum made the visit painless and easy.

Impressive museum! Sadly I got an audio guide with a low battery and it died in the middle of my visit. You get to keep the strap of the audio guide as a souvenir by the way.
It takes around 2-3h to see everything depending on your speed. It starts with a chronological order since 1900. There is a lot of information for car enthusiasts and also for people who just want to learn more about the history of car making and the different inventions/technologies throughout the history.
The design of the building itself is amazing. There are lockers and coat storage places. Toilets, which were remarkably clean, are available not only during the start/end of the museum but there is one in each level as far as I remember.
At the end of the tour, some fun interactive activities are available which can also be suitable for kids, I think it was called science center or something similar. The gift shop had a very limited selection and was quite overpriced.

The MERCEDES-BENZ MUSEUM is amazing place with plenty of vehicles. When you first arrive, you take the elevator to the top floor and walk down the spiraling path. A well-presented and arranged museum that not only encompasses the history of Mercedes Benz but also the history of the automotive world of cars.
There are many of beautiful cars, trucks,F1 cars, buses. Everything is explained really well and plenty of information about every vehicle. Few euros for a ticket is really worth. The tickets were well priced and included a free audio guide.
Good restaurant to dine in after your walkabouts. ne can easily spend 4-5 hours and if you are a car enthusiast even more.The museum was well laid out with plenty of lighting. The parking garage on the backside of the museum made the visit painless and easy.

Even for non car lovers, this place is still good to visit. What more for car enthusiasts.
Having gone to 2 famous car museums in Stuttgart, here’s my take for Mercedes Benz, the exhibits are informative and I like how the museum flows with time and also with other world events. You will see why the entire Mercedes Benz or (Daimler) group is so important to the history of Germany
The gift shops are well equipped with pretty nice souvenirs to get from.
There are cafes and a restaurant.
There are also locker rooms and coat rooms if you are bringing bigger bags you can store them and go for your tour.
Went alone and spent about 2.5 hours or so in there. Staff are helpful and friendly.
This museum is more family oriented and there are 7 levels of exhibits.
I enjoyed myself especially knowing the history of Germany and the company. Ever wondered the names of Daimler, Benz, Mercedes and how are they related and why is it being used interchangeably? What does the logo stands for? You will get your answer here.

The Museum is very nice. Starting at the top floor you work your way from the invention of the first engine, to the first motorized carridge to the first car and get a good historical view of transportation as we know it today. We enjoyed the exhibits that were much more than just looking at cars. The museum shows connections between world events and the car industry avoiding controversial issues.

My time at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart left me with mixed feelings. 🏎️💔 While there were positives, some aspects fell short of my expectations.
The museum layout and historical insights into Mercedes-Benz vehicles were well done, and the reasonable entrance fee was a plus. However, the lack of significant changes over the past 5 and a half years was a bit disappointing. 🕰️🤔 I hoped for fresh additions to keep the experience captivating for returning visitors.
A downside was the presence of unrelated political propaganda along the walking route between floors. 🚫🗳️ This seemed out of place and distracted from the museum's automotive focus.
The souvenir shop at the end didn't live up to expectations due to high prices. 💰😕 It dampened the overall value after paying the entrance fee.
I recommend avoiding the museum during summer holidays due to large crowds. 🌞🚶♂️ This can detract from the enjoyment of the visit.
In conclusion, the Mercedes-Benz Museum has highlights, especially for car enthusiasts, but updates, pricing, and overall visitor experience could be enhanced. 🏁🚗

A great place to visit when in Stuttgart. I have been there twice now and I am mesmerized each time. Their organized manner, way of storytelling is just amazing. We started at the very beginning of human civilization of using horses as a mode of transportation. From there, the discovery and use of motor vehicles, steam engines and fuel engines was just marvelous.
A huge collection of collectibles and historical facts made the entire experience worthwhile. This was really a great experience for us.
They also had a nice cafeteria and souvenir store along with a simulation centre.
Tickets are subsidized for students, kids and senior citizens.

Absolutely loved it here. Organisation is excellent. Range of exhibits is vast - including cars, buses, racecars, etc. Wide range of German and works history also covered. Audio guide is super helpful. Took us about 3 hours to explore the entire museum. Cafe is expensive for what it is (€8 for two coca cola bottles). Public transport is good to here. We cycled from central Stuttgart no problem. But trains also available.

I very much enjoyed my tour of the Mercedes-Benz museum. You take an elevator ride up to the top floor and begin with looking at some of the oldest cars and engines and walk your way down to today’s modern automobiles.
As you journey through over 100 years of car history, you get to enjoy looking at all the cool cars, trucks, and other various automobiles Mercedes-Benz have manufactured.
I recommend getting lunch in the cafe/trying out their restaurant in the basement as well and making a day trip. It took me about 3 hours to get through everything and eat both breakfast and lunch here and I came by myself, so I’d say prepare at least 5 hours if you’re visiting with a group/your family.
Heidelberg Palace is a ruined red sandstone castle that sits on a hillside in the heart of Heidelberg, Germany. It is one of the most beautiful ruins in the world and is popular with tourists for its incredible views across the Neckar River. The only way to see the interior of Heidelberg Palace is by tour - after 6pm it is open to the public for free.
Beautiful, highly recommend for a lazy stroll. The views of the palace and the city from the terrace is breathtaking. We went on a rainy day and still managed to have a great time. There’s a short hike, moderately steep but absolutely doable. Wear comfy shoes. I saw some cars up there too, so I guess it’s possible.

Really cool castle! The views of the city are incredible. The walk up is pretty steep so be prepared if you are going that way. Don’t miss the pharmacy museum and the giant wine barrel. The inner part of the castle costs 9 euros but it’s worth it. Also check out the garden in the back for even more great views.

If you like explore castles, this will be educational and fun.
Starting with a hike up the castle is highly recommended! It made me appreciate so much modern amenities - there is a cable car you can purchase to go up and down as well (€9 will get a person up and down the hill for the castle). The grounds outside the castle is fun to walk around simply for the view it offers of the town. Once up at the castle level, get ticket to the courtyard. It can be included in the cable car. It will take maybe an hour or hour and half but seeing the massive wine barrel - it will be the biggest ever! and learning about the start of medicine/ pharmacy in Germany will be a fun experience in the museum inside. Wander around to the front of the castle the view is great not just the old town below but also the castle structure itself.
Happy travels

Great place to check out, it was wet and windy but we still enjoyed the site and your. Highly recommended the guided tour, they take you through the castle you can’t go through with a normal ticket. The garden was really cool with great city views and we could see the hustle bustle of Christmas markets from there too. The tour showed us some cool stuff in the castle and told us pretty detailed history about it. The tour group wasn’t huge either so could see/hear pretty much everything. Only 8-10 min walk up a hill or stairs to it also on old cobble stone walkways. Hope to see again some day.

One of the best “ruins castles” in Germany. We really enjoyed the tour through the castle. The views of Heidelberg from the castle are fantastic as well. It is a bit of a hike to get up to the castle. I would recommend taking the tram if you have issues with climbing stairs and hills or have strollers or older folks with you. The climb is pretty significant. I have now been to this castle several times and I’d go back again and again. Such a great place with such an interesting history.

It’s an amazing castle, I will tell any one about my visit there, the view from castle above the city is beautiful. If you would visit it, try to go before 5:30 pm, because the bus from down to castle through the mountain will close and last trip to enter it will on 5:30. It costs 14€ or 9€ for adults to buy a ticket. Garden around the castle is also nice. Enjoy 😊 (The stairs are long if you want to walk up, you can go up walking but maybe will be difficult for some people)

Amazing place, I could expend days just wandering inside and outside the castle, is simply amazing. The views that has to offer are also out of this world! I bought the ticket for €14 that allowed me the funicular and museums and then at the castle bought the audio guide which is totally worth it tbh. They had it in different languages. There’s also a Michelin 2020 restaurant inside the castle.

Very nice old palace, you should definitely walk around and visit the garden. All the surrounding are accessible for free. But the entrance to the courtyard costs 9 euros. It’s unreasonably expensive, on my opinion. The size of the yard and what you can see inside is not worth the money. The yard is really small and partially closed for restoration, some cars are parked in places, there are too many people... In addition, to get inside the castle you need to pay even more and book a tour. So I was very disappointed.
But again, the castle itself is spectacular and worth to visit, just consider thoroughly whether you need to go in.
As an advantage, free toilet next to the cash register😉

This castle is located atop a hill with beautiful views of Heidelberg. There are several displays inside showing what early pharmaceutical equipment was like. You can walk to the top of the biggest wine barrel you will ever see. There is a large open area where you can sit in the shade and enjoy the views. Food is available at a couple of different places on the castle grounds. The castle is accessible by foot (a little bit of a climb) or by train (tickets are available for purchase). You could easily spend a couple hours here.

A beautiful, amazing site that has tremendous views! Over looking the entire old town, this castle is a must stop if In Heidelberg! I highly recommend going there during sunset because it’s magical to watch the city and castle grounds light up at night!

I find this castle ruins romantic, specially when going there before sunset. Start by exploring the old bridge which offers lovely views to the city and the castle. Then walk around the old part of Heidelberg city. There are many restaurants offering different cuisines and amazing architecture. Then walk or drive to near the castle and spend the late afternoon there. There are benches to sit on.

Definitely worth the trip. I took the funicular railway from station Kornmarkt, they offer different tickets, 1 to the castle, single or return, another 1 to the top. I bought the whole trip to the top, cost 14 euro. Price include entry to Heidelberg Palace. U can go all the way to the top then to the palace or stop at palace then continue to the top. I went to the top first, it was very foggy due to rain, fully covered with fog, mist. I just walk around a bit to enjoy the nature n cold.
Then I went to the castle, was raining... but it has a much better view at the castle. It is so beautiful, although ruined but still majestic. There are 2 museums, pharmacy and the brewery..is free, just go in to get some shelter...but the wine barrel is so huge and the wood used to construct the barrel is so solid. I would highly recommend a trip to Heidelberg Palace/ castle

The majestic castle ruins in Heidelberg look down on the city is one of the most impressive sites to see. It is an absolute recommendation for a day trip, with great views on the city and beautiful architecture that you can enjoy even though most of it is ruins. There is a unique pharmacy history-museum, a nice cafe in the cellar, and there was a huge Playmobil exhibition last time.we visitied.

A wonderful landmark, overlooking the beautiful town and running river.
Castle itself is mostly in ruins, though they converted the main ground into some simple and small museums.

Heidelberg Castle is a true gem nestled in the heart of this historic city, and my recent visit left me utterly spellbound! The absolutely breathtaking view of Heidelberg city.
The architecture, the history, and the sheer grandeur of Heidelberg Castle make it a must-visit destination.
But the real magic happened when I reached one of the viewpoints overlooking the city. The panoramic view of Heidelberg spread out beneath me was nothing short of spectacular. I definitely recommend also taking a tour of the topmost part of the castle.

A truly amazing infrastructure with a breathtaking view of the city of Heidelberg. It was well worth it coming here. I took the stairs going up which I wouldn’t advise if you’re not doing much cardio like me. Better to use the other path or the cable car.

Visually appealing historical monument that tells the story of opulence and power. Every ornament has creative details of history and artisans with skills beyond ordinary. The texture, color and breadth of the different parts of the castle are worth seeing in a lifetime.

A must see.
We visited on a Sunday in late Feb 24. Weather was cold but dry. Wear comfortable shoes/trainers.
This is a great place to go and visit. Park in the underground carpark in the centre of town. Allow at least 3 hours for a visit. Entrnace was €9 per adult (includes a return ride in the funicular and entrance to the castle). We also booked an English speaking tour (lasted about 90 minutes and you get to see places the public are not allowed in (€6 per person - you can purchase it when at the castle, but check times first. Highly recommended).
Most information boards in English and German. A couple of souvenir shops.
Rhine Falls is a tourist spot in Switzerland that boasts of being the largest waterfall in Europe. This natural wonder has a width of 150 meters and height of 23 meters, which can be enjoyed by tourists through boat trips, viewing platforms, and guided tours. Laufen Castle serves as one great option to view the falls while various decks provide another alternative. The thunderous Rheinfall produces an impressive flow of water with abundant photo opportunities along its shore trails.
This is the seventh time I have been here. Can really recommend it for the first really warm spring days. Easy to park, free parking at the castle side of the falls. Electric charging parking is also available. Do spend the extra money for the tickets to go down to the waterline to see the force of the water firsthand. We took the blue line and this was definitely worth the money. Well worth a visit!

Prime tourist attraction in Basel. Beautiful location with an amazing view. The walk up to the Rhine falls from the river banks is worth doing. There are options available for boat rides to reach the center of the river body to get a great view of the waterfall. The price is decent (EUR 20). Numerous shops and eateries available to enjoy the time in a wholesome way. Great destination for family weekend getaway.

Rhine Falls is a natural wonder that leaves an indelible mark on your senses. The sheer power of Europe's largest waterfall is awe-inspiring, with thundering waters cascading dramatically. The well-maintained pathways and viewpoints ensure a breathtaking panorama of the falls from various angles. Visiting the falls up close on a boat tour provides an exhilarating experience as you feel the mist on your skin. The surrounding lush greenery and rock formations create a stunning backdrop for photography enthusiasts. Whether seen under the summer sun or embraced by winter's icy charm, Rhine Falls offers a captivating sight year-round. The well-equipped visitor center and amenities enhance the overall trip. A visit here is an encounter with the raw beauty of nature that's truly unforgettable.

Absolutely beautiful scenario. Nature at its peak ❤️ the area is not very stroller friend or at least we couldn’t find it. For a more breathtaking view, go to the other side of the river (ticket based). Since we didn’t want to get tickets, we just simply took the lift up to the castle and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 🤩

You cannot come to Switzerland and not see this waterfall! It is a place that will meet your expectations with its nature and historical structure. You can take a boat tour on the waterfall in spring and summer. I think it is a place that children as well as old people will love. I can recommend you to eat ice cream in the view of the waterfall. A cold beer in the summer can also be good. Have fun now.

Please research about this place before going and the best times to go. Definitely go when there is nice sunlight since the lighting there is pretty bad to take photos of the waterfall in dark. Also, there seem to be many points to access the Rhine falls but are not visible in the dark or are difficult to figure out. Plan it nicely and visit at a good time.

Really amazing this waterfall surrounding with nature. 2 hours here seems too short for us! We took a tour on a pink boat. The driver is so friendly and kind! I lose count how many times he took us very near to the waterfall. This area has sitting place that you could enjoy your own meal or buy from the kiosk. We just grab bistro style fish and chips even the taste is not for us, but the fries is okay to fill our hungry tummy 😁.

Rhine falls is as beautiful as it gets, but I would highly recommend taking the boat ride of 75 minutes, which goes along the river. It takes you along in quiet, serene waters, with wind blowing in your hair. You can enjoy nature, birds all around, sun, sky and water. You need at least 3-4 hours to soak it all in! Not far from Zurich, it’s super easy with Swiss rail pass, with train stop right at the falls! Don’t miss it 💜

It is second time I bring my family to enjoy this fantastic place. Amazing power of water. Interesting castles on both sides of the Rhine River. Opportunity to go in a ship close the waterfall. There are many restaurants and shops with menu from the very simple selection up to special meals. Several areas for kids to play.

This is an amazing, beautiful, and breathtaking experience! We did the "yellow" tour which takes you to the rock island. You are dropped off, and you can climb some VERY steep stairs to be right in the middle of the falls. It is very crowded during the season, so reservations are highly recommended. Food onsite is typically touristy menu and way over prices. Try to plan a lunch or something in the local towns and experience real traditional dishes.
David Burke — Google review
A beautiful and amazing place to visit. Lots of water, beautiful views and nature. You can go by boat, there is also a restaurant and a café.
The prices are in line with the place, after all it is a tourist place, the car park is big but again we hardly found a place.
I can definitely recommend it.

Simple waterfall which can be viewed from a distance. Nice view to spend some time in nature. Considering the height and force, it'd be nicer if we could reach a closer place. But nevertheless, it's worth a visit if you're in the vicinity.

Although we did not go to the platform above the waterfall, we still had an amazing view of the whole waterfall with the landscape and buildings around it. Personally, I feel the tickets are not the best value due to view offered from the pier opposite of the falls also offer a very good view however the tickets are not too expensive. I also suggest to bring a poncho if you are going to the platform above the falls.

Beautiful. First we entered from the side of the fortress. From there the view is good, but visibility is poor. There is an elevator that goes down to the waterfall. We weren't there. We came from the direction of the city. There is a free toilet and wheelchair ramps. Then go to the water mill. There are better views there.

Arriving around 15-00 was perfect; fewer people and boat rides available until 17-00 gave us ample time to explore. We even snagged solitary photos under the falls, which felt impossible during the day. The experience was truly impressive.

Very nice tourist attraction, with nice boat-rides near the falls with reasonable prices! The restaurants do not have a wide variety of dishes, but the place is magnificent. If you do the boat tour, take into account that you are going to get a little bit wet, but it is not something to worry about. Wear worm clothes in general, because the temperature is a little bit lower that in the town.

The Cathedral of Strasbourg is a beautiful, gothic edifice built in 1187 to 1439 with a 16th-century astronomical clock and rose window. It is considered the world's tallest building from 1647 to 1874 and still the sixth tallest church today. The walls of the cathedral keep a 1000-year history of luck and disappointment, victorious victories and unforgivable defeats.
What a wonderful cathedral!! The clock inside is really neat. I loved the nativity scenes and I'm so glad they were still up when we went in January. We climbed up the tower, which was a highlight of our entire vacation!

This is a must see location if you are within 100 miles. Strasbourg the old city is just incredible for old buildings and interesting sites. The Cathedral is very impressive from the outside and the inside is just Great. The altar and the backdrop are very well done. The stained glass is amazing as well. I walked to the top of the Cathedral and highly recommend doing this if you can. Great views and interesting views of the Cathedral as you climb.

Came over from offenburg Germany. It was a short drive. It was on a French holiday so I think it was extra busy. The cathedral was very pretty. You could walk around on your own. There was no English translations quite. If you get an app on your phone you can just shine it on the signs and it'll read it in English for you. It was a recording picking on every now and then to ask us to shush. Although I don't think we were being loud, the crowd was in the church at that time.

If you are feeling in the mood, you can buy and light a candle in the cathedral. There is also two gift shops!

A wonderful cathedral, truly a work of art in every way. Entrance is free into the church, but a ticket of 8.5 euro to take the stairs up - which you must do, the views are spectacular {approx 300 steps up and 300 down, on a spiral staircase}. The clock at the back is a marvel to behold, from the 16th century. The church area is peaceful, take some time to sit and reflect no matter your religion.

The most conspicuous building in Strasbourg. It’s full of beauty and historical charm. There are lots things to see - external decorations, climbing to the top to have a great view of the city, internal decorations and carpets. Finally there is the Astronomical clock inside. The history of the cathedral reflects the history of the city which is breathtaking. In front of the church you can find lots of Noel markets in the holiday season in winter.
Petite France, a bustling tourist center in the city, is renowned for its well-preserved half-timbered homes like the Tanners' House that was constructed in 1572. The area's cobblestone streets and canals add to its charm. Barrage Vauban, a covered bridge and dam from the 17th century, has a terrace which offers breathtaking views of the surroundings.
The Chapel Bridge in Lucerne is a wooden bridge that spans the Reuss River. It is one of the oldest covered bridges in Europe, and it is named after nearby St. Peter's Chapel. The octagonal water tower, built in the early 14th century, is the city's most photographed landmark.
Beautiful place for sightseeing. The old wooden bridge has a sad history but pretty to look at. One can easily roam the entire city and admire the old Town architecture.
The lake has many swans and ducks swimming, it's very cute. Do take a walk in the bridge.

The oldest bridge in Europe. You can read the historical facts online or follow one of the many walking tours available to grasp its significance.
This bridge provides a different architecture scene compared to its surrounding. Yet it does not seem out of place. Rather, it elevates the scenery as one of the most picturesque in Luzerne.
There are tons of alfresco dining available around the area which allows you to enjoy the scenery while eating and drinking.
Because of its popularity with tours and tourists, this bridge can be very crowded and will be difficult to navigate.

Wow Where Do I Start. This park is amazing, it’s one of the best if not the best in the World.
Arrived at 08:30 and some attractions were already open 😲, then walked on rides majority of the day and didn’t wait more than 25 minutes. Did 30 rides and left at closing time. Experienced 1 minor breakdown the whole day which saw can can coaster close for a max of about 10 minutes. They kept silver star & can can coaster open a little longer after park close so people didn’t leave without riding one last ride due to the breakdown.
Operations were world class too, staff were friendly and extremely efficient. Food was good except the Food Loop which was quite expensive. Paid €15 for a burger on it’s own but it was tasty so I’ll give them that 🤣
As a whole the park is extremely clean, well looked after and so well ran. Over 2 days did 55 rides and experienced shows and had time to eat and shop. Will definitely be back next year 👍
Parking was also efficient. Was in and out in no time. Entering the park was just straight in. Long Opening Hours too so no need to rush and plenty of transportation attractions such as a train and 2 monorails.
I recommend this park as it is PERFECT FOR EVERYONE!

Give yourself at least 2 days. The park is huge and there is so much to do and see. Since it was a slower season, many food places were closed or running on shorter hours, and I would have liked more regional food for the areas. All around amazing experience, and the queues were shorter than we expected given the size of the park.

What an awesome experience coming here in winter ❄️ I could have never imagined how beautiful the park is during that season and highly recommend coming here! ❤️🙌😍
The decoration is stunning and especially during the dark daytime is can become breathtaking- too much to take in, in just one day

What an absolute wonderful park to visit. My first time there and it was great. We went with our 3 year old who could ride nearly most of the children attractions and had a great great time.
Voltron is one hell of an amazing Rollercoaster ride and definitely a must ride for everyone that loves coasters!
Will definitely be visiting again in the near future!

Very nice amusement park, all of the rides were fun, short lines and excellent various food choices from all over the world. The dessert waffles were absolutely mouth watering! They were near the back of the park. Clean and safe environment. Highly recommend with or without kids! We came during October and it was a gorgeous, beautiful day out.

Very impressive amusement park. Read the description to discover the themes, it explains a lot.
Main thing I have noticed is that every one can enjoy the park because of the diversity of amusements.
Clean, large choice of food, quality and thrilling attractions, this place is a must.
My favorite amusement is « Arthur » : beautiful fairy bubble with a detailed decoration: the roller which starts inside the bubble, above people doing other attractions, is completely gobsmacking…

A great theme park, the attractions are more family oriented. For adrenaline, I would recommend Energylandia in Poland. However, the park had beautiful Halloween decorations. The park has perfect shows.
Denisa Šindelářová — Google review
What an amazing place and an amazing experience.
Everything is meticulously maintained, there is a huge diversity of different rides, the whole park is themed and decorated for Halloween, and the atmosphere is so pleasant.
I loved how they divided the park into different countries. Everything is so easy to find.
Prices of the food and beverages are decent in most places.
I especially loved how they added Single Rider lines in many of the rides. Also, they do it very efficiently, so you don't have to wait for too long even if you're in a group and prefer to save some time and split on the ride.
This is my second visit. I visited 7 years ago. A lot has changed for the better, even though the park was great even back then. They definitely know how to keep improving.
The only thing I would suggest them to fix is the app's possibility to return to the list of rides after selecting a specific ride and pressing "return". Currently, it takes you back to the general map, and then you have to again select and filter the rides you want to see.

There’s never a bad time to go to Europa-Park!!! Last time we went during the spring, but now we went during Christmas time!
The park is decorated beautifully and it’s just so magical ✨
Very affordable place for a day of fun! The park hours are listed closing at an early hour, but they were open a lot past the listed closing time.
Dogs are allowed and that is awesome!

It‘s amazing how this park has developed and grown over the years. It takes a least two days to see the whole park and enjoy most of the rides, shows, etc. You can see the effort everywhere that the park looks nice & clean all day. Needless to say there are attractions for the whole family, from thrilling roller coasters, Virtual rides to calm story rides, shows, etc. Food & Drinks are expensive, comparable to other parks, but it’s very fair that it’s allowed to bring as much as you want by yourself. Entrance fees are fair and you‘ll get a lot entertainment for your money.

We first visited Europa Park back in 1990 before we had our children. We have visited it regularly since with our children.
We have seen the park grow and really enjoy our visits. We have stayed on the campsite in one of their tepees as well as in nearby hotels and campsites.
Access to the park is easy as it is well signposted. Once inside, there is plenty to see and do with lots for adults and children of all ages, and their are rides for all ages.
There are shows to see, including medieval knights.
The food isn't cheap but there are plenty of quiet areas to enjoy your own food or picnic.
The car park is well laid out, and again is well signposted and marked.
The best part about Europa Park is the atmosphere, especially on a bright summer's day. Queue times vary of course depending on what time of year and what day of the week you go, but they're not too bad. The bigger and more popular the ride the longer the queue, and there are plenty of rides and the wait is worth it.

Super parc d’attraction, les décors sont magnifiques et les attractions super. 2 jours pour faire le parc est l’idéal si on veut pouvoir bien profiter. Les spectacles sont très bien aussi. Au niveau du temps d’attente c’est raisonnable (30min max pour nous en semaine). L’application est bien faite pour se repérer et on peut prendre quelques coupes file. Nous y retournerons pour découvrir la nouvelle attraction qui a l’air sensationnelle !

Great amusement park, the scenery is magnificent and the attractions are great. 2 days to explore the park is ideal if you want to be able to enjoy it. The shows are very good too. In terms of waiting time it is reasonable (30min max for us during the week). The application is well designed to help you find your way around and you can skip the line a few times. We will go back to discover the new attraction which looks sensational!

Vraiment un très beau parc. Les attractions sont top. Le seul bémols la sécurité. Aucun contrôle de sac 🤷🏼♀️
On a pu profiter de tout, les prix sont correct pour un parc d'attraction. Par contre le personnel a revoir. On avait rarement voir pas du tout de sourire et même pas de bonjour. Limite si il pouvais ne pas nous parler c'est au mieux, dommage.

Really a very beautiful park. The attractions are great. The only downside is security. No bag checks 🤷🏼♀️
We were able to enjoy everything, the prices are correct for an amusement park. On the other hand, the staff needs to be reviewed. We rarely saw any smiles or even hellos. Even if he couldn't talk to us, that's a shame at best.

Wonderful place.
I'd love to see some more variety in the food stalls besides the all time classics: currywurst, churros, waffles, burgers etc.
But other than that everything was beautiful. Many rides for small children to older ones. They also have places for the parents to sit while their kids play, in the area where the playgrounds are.
There are also little houses or spots where you can just sit in peace for lunch and enjoy the view.
You need at least 4 days to manage to see everything if you go with kids.
The europa park app is a must if you want to check the waiting lines for the rides, the park map etc.
Don't miss the all you can eat ribs in the silver lake saloon and the all you can eat buffet in Antica Roma! Both need reseevations!

Parc magnifique, on a attendu en moyenne 5 minutes pour chaque attraction et pourtant le parc était complet ! Notre plus longue file d’attente fut de 15 minutes ( pour le bateau pirate), personnel qui parle souvent français. Nous avons passé une super belle journée ! Je recommande. Si vous voulez vraiment tout faire deux jours c’est bien mais en un jour vous faites déjà beaucoup !

Magnificent park, we waited on average 5 minutes for each attraction and yet the park was full! Our longest queue was 15 minutes (for the pirate ship), staff who often speak French.

What a fantastic place to visit! Disneyland in Paris doesn’t get a look in with this place. If you want thrills and theming that really makes a difference. The park was super clean, staff extremely friendly and the efficiency of the queues was excellent. If a ride was getting a bit too busy they would add extra cars on to ease that. The virtual queue system was excellent and the shows were fantastic! Stopped at the Kronosar hotel and again what a fantastic place, rooms were spacious and everything was kept so clean and tidy. I’ll definitely return, only spent 2 nights but could have spent longer as there is so much to see and do.

Nous y avons passés deux jours et c’était vraiment génial! Je pense que c’est un de mes parcs préféré. Le parc est propre, le personnel souriant, à l’écoute, parle quasiment tout le temps français ou anglais. Malgré les vacances scolaires le temps d’attente était de 35min max. Bref nous avons passés un excellent sejour et espérons y revenir avec nos filles.

A place for theme park goers, a lovely date, want to experience different countries in a short space n time , take kids out.
New rides, five nights at freddys-esque rides with puppets, toddler rides. Water rides...
Highly recommended in warm to slightly hotter weather.
The versatility of this place is great.
Download the app. No ifs, no buts.
Solo riders lane was a nice experience
Only "downside" is how to get there, but its logical for it to be away from city and in a spacious plot.
Make sure you factor in travel time especially if driving. Coaches and buses depending may be better.or nice stroll

What an amazing park. The theming is beyond incredible even to the bathrooms. Great roller coasters. The new Voltron is top notch. Food wise amazing options and very tasty. My only “negative” is that operating hours seem to be set the day of operations since the website states at least till 1800. After a while in the park hours did get extended till 2000. So if you visit and it’s busy check around

très beau parc d'attractions.
personnelles souriants et avenants, files d'attentes pas trop longues, max. 40 min. avec parfois 15/20 min pour les attractions phares, pour ce weekend de Pâques.
malgré l'affluence, le parc est tellement grand qu'il n'y avait pas une sensation de foule.
spectacles époustouflants surtout celui de magie et le gloge théâtre !!
un très bon séjour de 2 jours, avec en prime le soleil dimanche !!
nous y reviendrons avec un énorme plaisir.

Despite the crowds, the park is so large that there was no feeling of crowds.
breathtaking shows especially the magic and the theater gloge!!
a very good 2-day stay, with the added bonus of sun on Sunday!!
we will come back with great pleasure.
Titlis is a renowned mountain peak that boasts of various attractions including the world's first cable car, skiing area, suspension bridge, and glacier caves. Although it can only be accessed by car, it provides a cheaper alternative to Pilatus or Tiltis especially for those without the Swiss Travel Pass. Visitors can take advantage of the CHF13 two-way lift or CHF10 one-way offer to explore this beautiful attraction from 9:30 AM to 6 PM.
This was my third visit to Switzerland, but the very first to Mt. Titlis.
In one word this was the most amazing experience from our 8 day Swiss tour.
Best to visit Mt. Titlis is from Lucerne, as it is only around 30-45 min drive from there.
When reaching Engelberg there're several big parking lots, with a flat day fee of 10 CHF. From here the adventure starts.
You change two cable cars to reach the summit at 3.000 meters. The second rotating cable car is a masterpiece.
Once up you think you're on top of the world - unseen beauty of Alpine peaks all around you from the viewing terrace.
Two outstanding attractions are included in your entry ticket - the Glacier cave walk in an ice tunnel and terrific suspended bridge walk outside.
Make sure to visit the Trubsee middle cable car station, as there's a beautiful walk around the lake. You can do it on your way up or down with the same ticket.
Count on around 3-4 hrs for a proper visit without transport time from your location.
TIPS:
1. Buy your ticket online via Getyourguide - they were around 20% cheaper than on the official site and at the counter.
2. Doublecheck the weather before you go, if it's cloudy there's hardly no point going

It's a great experience....especially the snow-filled mountains and travel to the titlis mountains in the cable care....great protection should be taken one waterproof heavy jacket and snow protection boots are mandatory.....go early so that you can visit all the stops starts by 9 and closes by 5....

I had the time of my life here. Located at 10,500 feet above the sea level, it's one of the most sought after tourist destination in Switzerland. Take a train ride to Engelberg and then continue with the cable car rides. In the end enjoy the slow rotating Gondola. The mountains are covered in snow and make for an amazing view.
People who enjoy skiing can do ski here. The famous movie ddlj posters are also here. And of course a walk to the highest suspension bridge is an awesome experience.

Beautiful mountain with spectacular views. The ride to the top of the mountain is amazing ! There are 2 types of cable cars. First one is normal with 6-8 person capacity. Second one is a big one and is a revolving cable Car which gives everyone a 360 degree panoramic view of the mountains. There is also an additional open cable Car which is super fun there are several activities at the top to do and visit. Ice caves, skywalk bridge, open cable Car etc. There are restaurants at the top which serve variety of food from Indian to European. The ticket of the cable car up and down is 96 CHF and can be bought at the counter below. Summer season is usually crowded. There are plenty of car and bus parking spaces available at the foot of the mountain. Must visit !!

Beautiful and stunning views. While going up the hill it was cloudy and was no visibility. It looked just like a moon base when we got to the top! So cool!
You make your way up via rotating cable car! Thrilling!
Make sure you do the cliff walk, ice cave, and don’t forget to sledge! So much fun!
Titlis is definitely worth the trip! Just incredible!

A good experience. DDLJ shot here. Go for the views. The minimum temperature is -23 degree celsius during winters. Be sure to check weather forecast as trolleys could be closed if snowfall is there.
Nikhil — Google review
One of the best activities for the family during summer. Titlis is a very interesting place where the snow covers the mountain, everyone is playing with the snow while temperatures are reasonably low..
Waiting ques is long and can take up to 1 hour...
Again, you will face another que at the cable cars especially if you are late..
I prefer to purchase tickets in advance..
Parking lot is available and you have to pay...
Usually, it will take you 2 to 3 hours to have a proper visit... Other people take 2 days instead of one especially when you do hiking....
Opens from 9 am till 5 pm...
I would say it's cheaper than top of Europe....
Best to go there before mid June as these years temperatures are going high during summer..

No words. Take a train to engelberg from Zurich,enjoy the ride on rope way to the mountain top. There is just divine and heavenly beauty to be inhaled. Don't miss the opportunity, just visit.
The surrounding mountain view both in winter and summer are equally enjoyable.
I recommend to carry some little snack and water along with you to avoid rush at hill top restaurant.

It's one of the most famous tourist point in Swiss..we took a cable car to engelberg and then 360 degrees rotating cable to reach the mountain...
There are souvenir shops and also restaurants on the top of the mountain for tourists to enjoy delicious food and beautiful scenery.
The experience was amazing and Unforgettable..must visit place..

The Swiss Alps experience is brought to life as you adventure up the mountain in the world largest cable car and go over the grassy green hills which turn into snow hills. You reach the top by the largest cable car in the world, it was an awesome experience. At the top you can just stay in the gift shop and lodge area or you can seek adventure on the ice flyer, tube riding, ice cave, and finish with a warm hot chocolate in the restaurant. The views are breathtaking, a must do experience.

Located at 1.5 hours drive away to North from Zurich city. It is one of the best visiting points in Switzerland. There are multiple options to reach the 1st level of the mount Titlis. Via fennicular or by cable car. Fennicular may not drop you to the top, while via cable car, you can easily visit top through different levels.
84 Euros or 100 USD ticket can be used at cable cars, roatator, and Galacier cave as well.
There are multiple cafes at different levels of mount Titlis.
I would really recommend you to have coffee there.
At the end, it is one of the best places I have ever visited.

Mount Titlis is also one of the scenic spots in the Alps, with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. Cable cars are mainly used as transportation.
Although they are all cable cars, they are different in space. The latest cable car is the first in the world, it can accommodate 80 people, and it rotates 360 degrees. All the beautiful scenery can be seen from all angles. It does not take much time to climb to the top and enjoy the amazing views.
Feel the stunning scenery. There are souvenir shops and restaurants on the top of the mountain for tourists to enjoy delicious food and beautiful scenery. It is a very popular tourist ski resort!
If I have the chance, I will definitely visit again next time~

Mount Pilatus is a prominent mountain peak in Switzerland that boasts of sweeping views, a restaurant, and a hotel accessible through cable cars, gondolas, and railways. It can be reached via the Golden Round Trip which provides an unforgettable experience of the Swiss Alps. Visitors staying in Lucerne can easily commute to Mount Pilatus via public trains or by renting a car from Zurich Airport.
Number 1 attraction in Luzern... 360 view is breathtaking.. you can see all lakes around..
Be careful last gondola is at 16:30...

The visibility can be tricky due to the clouds so I would advise go a little bit later during the day. The cart all the way up (return) was around 70 e per person.
There is a parking near by that cost us 5 euro for 5 hours.
There are restaurants all the way up. We took fries, coke and pretzel for total of 17e
The hill itself has few small hikes around the peak which is great.
It is possible to hike all the way up or down from the peak.

Wonderful place with a fantastic scenery. A lot of short (but steep) trails and beautiful climb up by the cable car. Take the time to visit the area half way up. It provides a different and nice angle.
It is better to take some snacks and drinks with you since the food and drink prices at the shops are as high as the mountain itself.

What an amazing experience. From my travelling experience, what makes Switzerland better than most countries is the infrastructure. You go the most remote locations and you will find trains, trams, buses and shops. Plus, very rarely do you not get phone reception. Amazing experience for a weekend.

Mount Pilatus was only white fog for us. There was a tonne of crowd with us waiting for the clouds to go away! But the ride up the gondola and the view is beautiful. The fun thing is that we can get down at any of the stops and hike up or down as per our choice. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the clouds above, it felt like we were in heaven 😂, everything was blanket white. We hiked down a few kilometres till the last gondola stop. And the walk is steep but very very scenic. If you have the will and stamina, walk down a bit. It’s absolutely beautiful valley and the views are amazing 😍

We took the cable car up and cogwheel train down. This way we avoided the big crowd. We also missed the best ferry schedule so we went back to Luzern, visited the museum and then we took a evening cruise to Weggis. It was a perfect day spent in Luzern.

It was one of the best trips we’ve had in Switzerland. There are different routes to do it, we chose to go with the boat from Luzern, then the funicular up the mountain and then the gondola and cable car down to Kriens and the bus back to Luzern - it was absolutely brilliant. Took a total of 5 - 5.5 hours from the moment we got on the boat. It is recommended to reserve a time slot for the cogwheel train otherwise you would need to wait more.

Close to Lucerne. Take the gondola first and then the cable car. The views are quite good. The self service restaurant are good not too expensive maybe except the water.

This one is one of the most scenic spots in Switzerland. The top can be reached with the world's steepest cogwheel train or aerial cable car. The view from mountain is simply beautiful 😍

Picturesquare views from the top. Price from Kulm to Pilatus and back was 62 CHF, but it really pays off. I was at the beginning of march, aby 0 degrees on top, and wind. Not crowded, but I expect it is in high season. In Kulm you can find parking, 5 CHF for whole day, so not too expensive. I definitely recommed to visit Pilatus if you are in Switzerland.

The view from the pick is absolutely stunning! The round trip ticket with the cable car cost 78 CHF. I went on Sunday so the line for taking the gondola was huge. I waited 30-40 min in the line despite the fact that I had an online ticket purchased before.
You should consider 2-3 hours at the peak of the mountain. There are several points to eat, souvenir
and Swiss watches shops and restaurants.
Don't forget to wear comfy clothes and shoes, otherwise it will be difficult to hike.
This holiday apartment in the charming town of Little Venice is perfect for visitors looking for a bit of relaxation and beauty. The area is well-known for its historic houses, fairy tale vibe, and meandering Lauch River. The apartment has been decorated in an elegant style with all the necessary amenities to make your stay comfortable. The town itself is also very charming and offers plenty of activities to enjoy, such as exploring its colorful half-timbered houses or taking a boat ride on the river.
家族4人で利用しました。川沿いの眺めが良く、夜は静かでロマンチックな場所でした。建物自体は凄く古いのですが、中は綺麗にリフォームされてキッチン周りの電化製品や器具、食器は全て揃っていて、とても清潔でした!
車はホテル前に路駐して荷物を運んだ後に近くのパーキングに移動しました。
すぐそばにマルシェやレストランもあり立地は最高だと思います。
オーナーのマダムは英語を話して下さり、私達は夜の8時半頃と遅い到着だったのですが、電話でのやりとり後にホテル前で待っててくださり、鍵を受け取る事が出来ました。

I used it with my family of 4. Nice view along the river, quiet and romantic place at night. The building itself is very old, but the inside has been beautifully renovated, and the electrical appliances, utensils, and tableware around the kitchen were all there, and it was very clean!
I parked my car in front of the hotel and moved to a nearby parking after carrying my luggage.
I think the location is great as there are markets and restaurants nearby.
The owner, Madam, spoke English, and although we arrived late at around 8:30 pm, she waited for us in front of the hotel after a phone call, and we were able to receive the keys. rice field.

Best apartment we stayed in whilst on our 2 week tour of Europe!!!
So cosy, comfortable beds and sofa! A TV we could actually listen to as had the option to change some channels to English.
Such a lovely view also! Right out on to the little canal! Highly recommend!!!

A "Real Eyeopener"!
This compact "old town" area of Southeast Colmar is a place "not to be missed" by visitors! It gets its name due to the "historic houses" built on both sides of the small, meandering, Lauch River.... and the "fairy tale vibe". The area is wonderful to walk around-- and has cobbled streets, colourful "half-timbered" houses, and a "covered market". It can also be seen by boat. It has been awarded by TripAdvisor the esteemed "Certificate of Excellence". It is indeed well worth a visit. It is no wonder that it has been rated as one of the "top of places" to visit/things to do, while in Colmar. It will definitely add to one's memories of the visit.
I hope that this Review has been helpful.

Lovely time walking around Home Little Venice there's so much more than the picturesque bridge's to see with a few lovely restaurants along the canal, and little boat trip back and forth . It's only a short walk from here to the indoor market .
My recommendations would be early evening when all the lights come on for beautiful pictures .

The highest railway in Europe leads to Jungfraujoch, a glacier saddle with an observatory and shops. This destination attracts over two million visitors annually for its stunning views of the Aletsch Glacier and surrounding Alpine peaks. The journey up from Kleine Scheidegg is dramatic as the train passes through the Eiger mountain's icy heart before reaching the Sphinx meteorological station at 3454m above sea level.
This is definitely one of the top tourist attractions in Switzerland and definitely worth a visit with spectacular views of the surrounding mountain range. I recommend you to take the newly built gondola from Grindelwald Terminal which is an experience in itself - the most modern in the world, bringing you comfortably up the mountain with breathtaking views everywhere. The gondola arrives at the top station of Eiger and from there you take the 30 minutest train ride to Jungfraujoch - the highest train station in Europe. Prepare to spend at least 1,5 hour walking around at the different attractions before you visit one of the restaurants available. I can recommend you to try the delicious typical Rösti dish they serve at the top restaurant Crystal - very tasty indeed.

Bought the Top of Europe pass for 3 days, which includes visit to Jungfraujoch. It was barely sufficient to enjoy all the hikes and activities at the various trails. Activities like First Flyer and First Glider, and sledding added to the fun.

Awesome. You must visit and experience it in order to know what I mean. Really beautiful scenery and wholesome experience. Also, don’t forget to enjoy a delicious lunch at the restaurant and choose the seats with mountain view. In total, would advise to allocate at least 3 hours in order to have a complete experience :)

If you have reached Interlaken or Luzern, then you shouldn’t miss this beautiful place on earth. It will cost you around 176 francs per person to reach here, but worth the experience once in a lifetime.
The view from the top is amazing! Don’t forget sunglasses like I did… snow blind!
Try to get there as early as possible to avoid the crowds and have it all to yourself!
Walk inside the ice cave for a thrilling experience!

Visiting the Top of Europe Jungfrau was an unforgettable experience. The journey itself, aboard the scenic cogwheel train, was breathtaking as it ascended through the Swiss Alps. Arriving at the summit, the panoramic views were simply awe-inspiring, with vast glaciers and towering peaks stretching as far as the eye could see.
Exploring the attractions at the summit, such as the Ice Palace and Sphinx Observatory, offered unique insights into the region's natural beauty and scientific significance. Stepping out onto the observation deck, I felt like I was on top of the world, surrounded by pristine snow-capped mountains.While the experience was undoubtedly awe-inspiring, it's worth noting that the crowds can be quite large, especially during peak tourist seasons. However, the efficient organization and facilities at the summit helped mitigate any inconveniences.
Overall, a visit to the Top of Europe Jungfrau is a must-do for anyone traveling to Switzerland. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the majesty of the Swiss Alps from its highest point, and the memories made there will last a lifetime.

A highlight for any traveler coming to Switzerland! Europe’s highest railway is certainly an engineering masterpiece of design. First take a cable car up to the train station where you switch into a cog wheel train which then runs through a tunnel in the heart of the mounting ascending to this marvelous viewpoint and diner! It was foggy when we visited but still incredible. The ice cave was super fun to explore and slide around in.

Amazing experience in the open area unfortunately due to weather the zip lines were closed, was very very windy and the weather changed every five to ten minutes . The ice museum and the history behind this monumental place was just an out of the world experience. A good 2-3 hours is recommended for an optimum experience .

Jungfrau, called the roof of Europe, is a must-visit place for anyone traveling in the Alps.
I took a mountain train to the top, and the train was full of passengers.
It is important to note that the air at the top of the mountain is thin, so if you stay for more than 30 minutes, you may develop alpine symptoms and get headaches.
Even in midsummer, the top of the mountain is very cold and requires a thick coat, and sunglasses are essential because of the white snow field and the UV rays reflected from it.
There are many things to see because the surrounding scenery is very beautiful on the way up to the top of the mountain.

Jungfraujoch is an absolute must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Switzerland. The journey aboard the Jungfrau Railway itself is an adventure, offering jaw-dropping views that seem straight out of a postcard. Once you reach the "Top of Europe," the experience only gets better. The Sphinx Observatory provides unparalleled 360-degree views of the surrounding Alpine landscape, leaving visitors breathless in awe. The Ice Palace, with its intricate ice sculptures and tunnels, adds a touch of magic to the experience, making you feel like you've stepped into a winter wonderland. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie hitting the slopes or simply looking to soak in the stunning scenery while sipping hot cocoa, Jungfraujoch has something for everyone. It's an experience that will stay with you long after you've returned home, leaving you yearning to return to the majestic beauty of the Swiss Alps.

Well, when I visited Jungfraujoch, it wasn't the nicest weather. -21C, foggy and snowy so there wasn't much views to admire. Eismeer was completely blanc btw.
But bad weather doesn't mean I didn't have a great time! there's plenty to see, taste and buy.
Bonus: first step out of the train in the Jungfraujoch station and I found I had altitude sickness. heh! wasn't expecting that one :)
For new comers, the sensation of sickness, dizziness, breathlesness, confusion, high pulse and tiredness are symptoms of altitude sickness. It's not a disease, it's from the rarefied air and the pressure inside the mountain. It occurs when increasing altitude suddenly.
For me, going from 500m altitude in Interlaken to 3454m at Jungfraujoch, in little more than one hour was a bit too much, but increase the altitude slower, and the symptoms disappear.
Overall really nice what the Swiss managed to build well over a century ago with rather primitive tools by today's standards.
All respect for those people!

Joined a tour to visit the mountain to save on logistical planning, and it was very well organised by “Best of Switzerland” tour 👍🏻 our guide Rebecca was very knowledge and friendly, not to mention super enthusiastic throughout our entire visit - constantly engaging everyone during each stopover or transit.
⏰ The rides to and fro the peak were very well organised, with little to no downtime between each transition, leaving sufficient time for toilet breaks too - departing from Lucerne and return took us from 9am to 7pm+
🏔 the view at the top of the mountain was unfortunately hindered by fog, would recommend to check the live cam at the top of the mountain to manage expectations prior to embarking on the trip
🏞 remaining facilities at the peak was good though, with multiple visit points, clear signage to guide the way and decent selection of food and beverages (albeit at a steep price, pun intended)
⛑ safety though, could be looked into - with very slippery surfaces once you step into the open area. Would recommend visitors to wear shoes with grip before embarking on the snowy surfaces
Though we didn’t get to enjoy the full view of what’s it like at the peak, it was still an experience being at the top of Europe, with unparalleled views throughout the way too 👍🏻

Amazing view on top is amazing. Better to go early as it gets extremely crowded in the afternoon. We took the 9:15am cable from Grindelwald Terminal and took the 1:47pm trip down.

Absolutely beautiful a must see, visit and experience in order to know what we felt like on top of Europe. My daughter and i didn't expect to come this far, but hey we made iit and it's really worth it. Beautiful scenery fantastic view and an unforgettable moment to be in this magical place, just like in a movie "Bond" not to mention the chocolate factory and a bit of a shopping. Enjoy a delicious lunch at the restaurant and choose the best seats with mountain view. Stay at 4 to 5 hrs and enjoy the moment while it last. On the way back you we're riding on cable car and enjoy the panoramic views from the mountain to the platue and take a train back to Wegen. Absolutely amazing! Highly recommended 👍😊

Definitely not the top of Europe, they were just immensely smart in snatching up that slogan very quick. Not higher than the Matterhorn either, very expensive tickets but end of the day, it is a beautiful mountain, with impeccable views and a comfortable cable car ride.

Definitely worth a visit! We went on the last Eiger Express gondola at 2.15pm and managed to finish in an hour and half. Views from the Sphinx was great with a metal plate showing what mountains you’re looking at. It got better when we went onto the plateau. Be sure to wear nonslip waterproof shoes as many who did not were seen slipping on the slopes. Ice palace was only a short loop as part of it was closed. On the way up there was also a 5min stop at Eismeer for photo taking. Ample parking available at the station itself and the shops there close at 6pm so you can grab some souvenirs at the souvenir shop or some grocery at COOP Pronto. Overall a great experience not to be missed.

While the Jungfraujoch isn’t as tall as other mountains like Matterhorn, it’s a beautifully made, high altitude place to tour 😊 You can get to see both Jungfraujoch and Mönch at the very least!
We bought tickets using the half fare card for a discount. The entire trip was breathtaking! Love the view on Eiger Express to Eigergletscher btw. Whole trip without lunch was about 4h long including the transport there/back.
There is a map for self guided tour - we walked into Ice Palace, and the two outdoor observation spots, Lindt shop etc.
Bring sunglasses, gloves and be careful of slippery snow when walking out/in from these observation spots! Take lots of pictures with care (eg due to stronger winds than what we’re used to at times)

The place is good for visiting and experiencing. It's worthwhile to visit there for a once if you are in Switzerland. But it's nothing like a mountain climbing or hiking, you couldn't understand how you reach the top of Europe by the train and through the tunnel. I would recommend you to take the traditional mountain railway to visualise more beautiful surroundings.
Check weather report before reaching there
Bern Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its arcaded walkways, fountains, and Switzerland's tallest cathedral. This captivating area holds the lesser-known fact that Albert Einstein once resided here with his spouse in a third-floor apartment, which has now been transformed into a museum showcasing an authentic replica of the renowned physicist's home.
A single word is needed here: Lovely. One of the best towns in Switzerland, possibly in the central Europe. YOU DO WANNA VISIT BERN, trust me.

The capital of Switzerland has a very atmospheric and cultural atmosphere. I want to feel the local tranquil atmosphere here. The ancient city is also very amazing. 👍It doesn’t feel like the capital.

It’s a very distinctive capital. It’s a pity that it was cloudy when I went to Bern that day, but I think I’ll save it for the next time I go to Bern. Come and enjoy this beautiful ancient city again if you have the opportunity!👍👍

Overall the city was beautiful. I went on a Monday and many shops are closed that day.

I truly enjoyed the shops that were open!

The Bern's Old Town is the No.1 Must See Place when you go to Bern. I admit that I had doubts before I came here but then, I fully understood why this old town had become a world's heritage! Its calmness, medieval buildings, streets, fountains, & the beautiful & elegant clock towers, have made this Old Town be possibly the most pretty Historic Town in Switzerland!
Tips: It's easy to get here from the Bern's Station too, just look up & follow one of the clock towers.
(Please note that the picture showed as the caption in Google's UNESCO Von Bern is actually the Zetgloge Clock Tower, which is an ancient landmark from the 13th century.)

Bern being the capital of Switzerland is an ancient city. Has many historical buildings and scenic lookouts. You have to stay within the city limits to enjoy the sites as they are accessible via light rail. Book a hotel near to the city centre and use the light rail and buses to get around. First time visitors get a free pass within the 2 city zones. Rent a car and travel to Zurich and Geneva to enjoy the alps and historic towns. Busy during the summer. The cost of food etc are very expensive here specially being the capital. Good only if you’re into scenery and historical buildings.

Bern's Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the historic center of the capital city of Switzerland. It is renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture, charming cobblestone streets, and numerous historical landmarks.
It is situated on a peninsula formed by a bend in the Aare River. The layout of the town has remained largely unchanged since the medieval period. The Old Town is known for its covered arcades (Lauben) which extend for miles and make Bern one of the longest covered shopping promenades in Europe.
A walking tour is the best way to explore Bern's Old Town. You can take a guided tour to learn about the history and significance of various landmarks, or explore at your own pace. Be sure to visit the Zytglogge (Clock Tower), one of Bern's most famous landmarks, to watch the clock's elaborate mechanisms and figures in action as the hour changes. Don't miss the area's selection of chocolate shops. Explore the Swiss Federal Palace, home to the Swiss government, and take a guided tour to learn about the country's political system and history. Visit the Bear Park near the Old Town to see Bern's emblematic animals. Finally, take a stroll along the Aare River for beautiful views of the city and surrounding hills.
Bern's Münster Cathedral is an iconic landmark with an impressive façade and beautiful stained glass windows. Climb the tower for panoramic views of the city. The Einstein Museum, located in the building where Albert Einstein lived while in Bern, offers insight into the famous physicist's life and work. Kramgasse is one of the main streets in the Old Town, lined with shops, cafes, and historic buildings. It leads to the Zytglogge and provides a lively atmosphere. The Old Town is also dotted with colorful and ornate fountains from the Renaissance period, each with its own unique design and history. The Rosengarten (Rose Garden) offers beautiful views of the Old Town and is a great spot to relax and take photos.
The Old Town is best explored on foot, but there are also trams and buses available for easy transport.

The city of Bern is great to visit (as for most Swiss cities I would avoid going there on a Sunday as most shops are closed and some restaurants too). Bern has a beautiful old city center which is easy to get to from one of the many parking places around the center or (of course) by train. Really nice view from the Rosengarten and while you are there it’s nice to walk downstairs to the bridge to have a look at the bears at ‚Bärengraben‘. Beautiful City!

Chillon Castle is a 13th-century fortress located on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland. The castle is well known for its beautiful lakeside promenade, which makes it a popular tourist destination.
I recently had the opportunity to visit Chillon Castle and it was an incredible experience. The castle itself is absolutely breathtaking, with its stunning location on the shores of Lake Geneva and its beautifully preserved medieval architecture. The tour guides were knowledgeable and provided a wealth of information about the history of the castle and the people who lived there. I was especially impressed by the audio guide, which allowed me to learn even more about the castle and its history at my own pace. The castle's location on the lake made for some breathtaking views and the gardens were a lovely spot to relax and take in the scenery. Overall, my visit to Chillon Castle was a highlight of my trip to Switzerland and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The castle is good for a quick evening visit. Takes about 1.5-2 hours roughly to study the captions in great detail and know a bit about the history and the background. The access is easy. There's a boat dock and the railway line that connects the station of Montreux is close by. They do have an entry fee. Some places have access restricted to visitors. You can choose to have an audio guide.

If you follow the recommended plan of the visit, you can see everything, but you are not limited only to this. You can follow your own path and you will always arrive to main open plaza of the castle. The castle has a great view to the Leman lake and it’s so interesting to see how the regions and borders between countries have changed across the years. A beautiful activity for your weekend or free time.

Incredible! Fantastic! Unexpected wonder! Honestly I could not say anything bad about this place especially considering this was a 1 day stopover for us and it was a place I had found online as a recommendation through Social Media. I was not expecting much but as we approached along the walkway on the beach you could see why this has been suggested. Immediately you can see how well preserved this castle is from the moats and walls around the outside and then the rooms, towers and even dungeons on the inside. If you have the time, I would recommend the audio tour to really get an understanding of the castle and its history.

Would visit again and again! The castle is one of the best preserved medieval castles having been extensively studied and preserved. You can buy tickets online or in person at the gate. Depending on when you're visiting you're much better off buying ahead. We visited a couple of hours before they closed and didn't feel rushed exploring the castle. You'll get to visit the dungeons, tower keep, living areas, and even the latrines (which shockingly after ~700 years still smell...used). The brochure guide comes in many languages and is extremely helpful for appreciation. There is a gift shop inside and one outside, each with different items. Staff is friendly and speaks English.

It feels like being transported back to the Middle Ages, and whether inside or outside the castle, it's truly astonishing. However, the underground areas gave me a slightly eerie feeling, not because they're bad, but because they're so authentic, making you feel like you're reliving that historical period. The immersive experience is incredibly strong! I recommend renting an audio guide to fully appreciate the charm of the castle.

Beautiful castle from the outside but we did not have a chance to visit. However, we did eat at Cafe Byron (great experience and food!) where I burned myself on the very hot metal barrier. They are aware of the danger as children have also done the same but it is up to the castle to fix. They could easily add wood on top of the metal- I hope they do so no one else gets hurt...

There are lots of benches to sit around and enjoy the view and a perfectly manicured garden all around the castle.

Fascinating to see the restored work done through the centuries, 1100s forward. So amazing to be able to walk through a maze of courtyards, covered bridges and rooms while experiencing the historical presence of the structure.
Accompanying furnishings are thoughtfully curated and arranged, complemented by painted walls from appropriate periods in history.
I didn't get an eerie feeling (although I skipped the dungeon and crypt), as I have before when visiting such a structure. Rather, I felt as if I could possibly have lived there during that time period!

Another nice castle to look around. Parking is a bit of a pain but we figured it out. Interesting things to see within and great views around. The climb to the top of the main tower was a particular highlight. One weird thing was their reluctance to sell us a family ticket as we only had one chid - never ever had that before!

Located by the lake, Chillon Castle should be on your list of places to visit when in Montreux not only for its historical significance but also for the views of Montreux.
The perfect time to visit would be when the weather is sunny. This ensures that the temperature in the castle is not too cold and you could get a picturesque image by the lake.
The Montreux Riveria card which most hotels provide to their guests gives you 50% off the entrance fare.
For those who want to learn about the historical and cultural significance of the castle in detail, an audio guide is available. If you decide not to opt for the audio guide, there are also description of each rooms on the walls which you could read.

This is such a remarkably stunning castle in Montreux. Also, it was the inspiration for Prince Eric's castle in Disney's Little Mermaid. How wonderful!

This castle is a hidden gem with a mix of history and beautiful surroundings. Stepping inside feels like a journey through time, and the view from there is simply breathtaking. It's a charming place, making it a memorable visit.

A brilliant construction on the Lake Geneva with a spectacular view. The attention to detail is mind blowing. This castle has a lot of history dating back the mediaeval times. We got a free entry through the swiss travel pass so we checked it out while we were on Montreux. It was a beautiful building with lots of chambers, rooms, towers and hidden secret compartments and doors. They also have a restaurant by the castle which is quite convenient. We can also walk along the lake from the castle which has a breathtaking view. The entire tour has a guided tour or a audio guide to know about the history. A must visit history place while in Montreux, Switzerland.

This castle is so so so beautiful.
It's a must to visit when you're in Montreux. I can't help but be amazed by all the things preserved in the castle, going through all made me think as if I was travelling back to those olden days.
Wished I could spend more time here.
Good to visit earlier to avoid crowds.
Grotte Chauvet 2 - Ardèche is a unique complex located about 7km northeast of Vallon-Pont-d'Arc. This UNESCO-listed site is a replica of the original Grotte Chauvet cave and features around 1000 meticulously reproduced paintings, as well as approximately 450 bones and other debris.
Very impressive presentation of the very first human painting art in the world. Even the cave is a replica, you totally have the feeling of being in the real cave. I think it is fully acceptable that the original cave is not open for the public in order to preserve the original paintings. The interactive part of the exhibition well introduce the fauna of the ice age.

Didn't know what to expect as you see a replica of the caves not the real deal. Got to say its well done and once inside you soon forget your not in the real cave. The audio tour is available in English and switches automatically as you go through each section. It takes about 1 hour to walk the cave.

Well I'm afraid it didn't quite hit the mark for a number of reasons. 1) we book a ticket for 15:30 and are then told we are late even though we were at the gate at 15:20. 2) You arrive at the entrance to the cave system. At the last minute you are told to download an App to be guided through the visit. Trouble is the site has very little phone signal (even the guide was laughing at that). 3) let's remember that this is a module of the real thing, but the guide says no photos and no videos. Why on earth not?! Sorry but I've €18 for this and want remember my visit... 4) OK, it looks inside but it is lifeless with no dampness, not cold enough and no sense of being in a real cave. 5) I guess I have to trust that this is a good replica of the real thing....
We went in Late November. I can imagine summer is very busy.

Book your spot in the grotto tour in advance! We arrived at 1pm (in April!) and the grotto was booked out for the day 😮 Museum is still worth a visit though! So is the temporary art installation "animal de la préhistoire" That was absolutely fantastic! We went twice in a row... 😁

Absolutely worth a visit, there is so much to see at this site. But most impressive is the replicated cave. The attention to detail is amazing. The tour through the "cave" is slow and you get a real feel of how the real cave would appear.
Alexander Lewis — Google review
The original cave must be amazing and one of the most important for humanity. The copy is a huge engineering and architecture achievement. However I could not stop wandering how well they reproduced the original paintings. I would have loved to look at the details of each piece but this point is mute when we consider a reproduction.
The tour is rushed because they are more interested in making money.
Facilities are not set up for large Amos of people, in the Cafe I had to wait 30 minutes for a warmed up sandwich.
Overall very pleasant experience.

I would give this place ten stars if it was possible. The cave is so interesting, it feels as if it was the real one, both for smell and darkness, and the guide explained the main paintings, and still also a number of minor drawings had been recreated and were visible. A second visit would also be interesting. The place also offers a park and an we could see an "moving" art exhibit which, although it had no connection with the archaeological visit, was surprising and great. There is plenty of parking and the place is easy to find (despite the winding road). It is forbidden to take photos in the cave as we were said the pictures are online.

The whole tour is amazing. Delphine, our tourist guide was super fun and explained everything with such passion that I took off the headphones with the english version and I can assure you I understand her in french (I understand a bit of french normally).
I know is a replica but is well made and the drawing are impressive. It's worth to visit it

We arrived around 5 pm and wanted to visit the cave. At the entrance we were already told that we must pay the complete price, but not see everything because of "the storm“ (lame excuse). The funny thing is: At the same time, each point of visit is covered. We decided to visit the cave anyway. In the cave we got headphones to listen to the explanations in German. So far, so good. However, the guide didn't pay any attention to the foreign speakers at all. As soon as she finished explaining in French, she turned off the lights and we were left in the dark. When we left the cave, 40min before closing time, all places to visit were already closed. For this, 18€ was not worth it and the staff is also not helpful at all. If you do not speak French in the store, you are abandoned. For a tourist place really sad.

We just went here today and we had a very good experience! The first one we were not si fortunate as we followed Waze and google in English and we were brought to the original site so we had to add 25 minutes more I think to reach the site. We selected English for our daughter and we were lucky to be just the 3 of us! The tour was so intimate with our guide who was very knowledgeable and informative, we forgot to ask his name! But he answered every questions and showed us interesting things! We appreciated a lot of things because him! Removed the misconception that 30,000 years ago people were less developed, smaller and not so smart to than we are! But in fact no, they have bigger brains, worked only 6 hours and created this magnificent cave that is such a marvel!

I have to admit that firstly I hesitated to go as it is about a replica of the real Chauvet cave. After reading all the good comments we did go and do not regret this! It is really great. We did go with 3 kids 12, 14 and 16 and there is an app that you can download upon the entrance and which will guide you through the cave with good intervals in different languages. Even in Dutch which was perfect for us and the kids. Please don't go with very young kids as it is only disturbing for others. Once you are in the cave it is like you are in the real one.

Loved the place. We arrived at around 9.30 for the 11.20 English language tour. This allowed us plenty of time to see the art installation, and the history of the area.
The tours start promptly, so be there or be square. You also have headphones to hear your guide. Great idea, helps block out screaming kids.
Very easy to walk if disabled. No steps and very gentle slopes.

Hello, before I go to some caves, but here it is different level. We like it very much.
Usually people explain that you need 3h to pass the area. Even the bad whether we need more to see all what we want.

It was awesome experience there. Cave is a replica. I have been to many different caves and this one looked pretty real. I liked it a lot. Plan your trip in advance. They have English guided tours to the cave at a specific time so we waited for two hours. There is a place to have your own lunch.

The Arles Amphitheatre, which is still in use today for bullfighting and other community events, was originally built in the Roman era as a place to watch gladiator fights and wild animal shows. It's long, oval shape and large capacity makes it an interesting attraction for visitors to the area.
We were looking forward to visit this site since some time. We have watched several YouTube videos about this touristic attraction before we even knew will visit Arles. Overall the place did not disappoint us. The huge structure which dated since almost 2000 years made us appreciate the care of the local authorities to preserve and maintain this important site. We recommend taking the time and sit on one of the benches while imagining what went on the are a many hundreds of years ago. The views from one of the towers is great too.

A truly wonderfully preserved example of an ancient Roman amphitheatre. You can walk around freely and really explore this amazing venue and imagine how the place must have been in the ancient times. Wonderfully preserved and in great condition. If you are lucky you can even visit when they have concerts and other events here.

Visiting the Ampitheatre in Arles is like embarking on a mesmerizing journey through time. This ancient Roman amphitheater holds a captivating aura that transports you back to a bygone era. The grandeur of its architecture and the rich history it embodies make it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and those seeking to immerse themselves in the past. Exploring the Colosseum allows you to imagine the spectacles and events that once took place within its walls, igniting your imagination and leaving you in awe of the ancient world. If you have the opportunity, visiting the Colosseum in Arles is an unforgettable experience that brings history to life.

The Arles Amphitheatre is a remarkably well-preserved Roman building, showcasing the architectural prowess of ancient Rome. Over the last 200 years, it has been meticulously conserved and partially rebuilt, offering visitors a glimpse into its historical significance. While there are many steps to navigate, especially for those wishing to visit the towers, a short climb grants access to the main seating area, where you can soak in the atmosphere of ancient spectacles. It's fascinating to note that the site is still in use for modern events, adding to its allure. An essential visit for fans of Rome and anyone interested in experiencing history come to life.

Very well preserved Roman building. It was conserved and partially rebuilt over last 200 years. There are a LOT of steps, if you want to visit the towers. But a short climb gets you to the main seating area. The site is still in use for modern events. Essential visit for fans of Rome.

Colosseum's always fascinate me so I enjoyed walking through. Fortunately I didn't have to pay because it was French historical day so that was excellent. If it costs more than €10 and your limited on funds, maybe reconsider because it's still great to see it from the outside as well. But definitely worth checking out if you can.

It’s always impressive to see this kind of architecture even from outside only. The old town surrounding the arena is cute. Tons of cool architecture in the narrow streets.

Visiting the Amphitheatre in Arles is like a trip back through time. While there are other similar relics (think the colosseum in Rome) I doubt any other is as well preserved, as accessible as uncrowded. The morning we were visited there were multiple tour groups (the river cruises docked that morning) but they were tiny given the capacity of the Amphitheatre. Our first visit to a Roman relic of this size and it was amazing - a real trip backwards in time. This alone was worth the trip to Arles. A must see!
David Silversmith — Google review
Walking around it is enough to get a fine idea and feel for the place. The interior is not as impressive. There are plenty of other things to do and visit in Arles.
If your time is limited, just walk around and keep enjoying the town. There are some great restaurants across the arena to enjoy the view.
Rafael Gonzalez-Arnau — Google review
Super interesting. They have a map/illustration of how the amphitheatre became a walled city during middle ages. People moved in, built homes, a plaza, a church! The entry points became city doors. Must visit.
There is an amazing little restaurant right outside (sorry, can't remember the name!) but the food was magnificent.
Here is my monkey "Lenin" enjoying the sun!

Not much to see from outside but… a drone makes a difference.
So, our Mini 2 was allowed to fly and here you can see the effect. In theory one can see the spectacle from air, though am not sure how well it is enlightened.
I strongly recommend to come and to see it. And to have „Taureau Camarguais” - regional beef dish with local rice. Delicious and must have.

The arena at Nîmes is wonderful but the arena at Arles simply knocks it out of the park. What is left after the Arlésiens mined it for stones to build other things is incredibly well preserved. You can climb right up to the top seats and get a wonderful view of the town.

Small entrance out the front, so queue can be long. It’s a massive amphitheater which was cool however not much to see, just going up and around. So you won’t need a lot of time here.
Would be a bit challenging for children and older people with the steps and lack of safety.

The amphitheater in Arles is amazing, as is the city itself. We enjoyed every minute here. Everything in the city has Roman history which I really liked. Any recommendation for visiting Arles, its sights, as well as small wonderful cafes. definitely pay attention to the fact that Van Gogh also lived and worked in this city, so you will be able to find a lot of postcards and other souvenirs with his works, and you can also visit the cafe that Vincent painted.
The historical landmark Jardin de La Fontaine is a public park located in Nimes. It is a beautifully landscaped garden with Roman ruins and botanic gardens, as well as ponds and sculptures. The park offers stunning views of the city below.
This park in Nîmes is really beautiful, the trees give it a cool breeze. From the park you have a clear and lovely view of the town. It is so breath-taking just to visit the place. I would go back there countless times. I was with friends so, The more the Merrier...but you can do it solo.

A sublime park that climbs the hillside until it meets the tower Magne at the summit. The views, sculptures and Roman architecture around the source are all fantastic. Plenty of places to sit and relax with a picnic or sunbathe. Small children's parks are placed throughout with a miniature carousel by the main entrance. It's well maintained and naturally very green, with a mixture of more exotic plants and trees added for variety. The source is also surrounded by various fountains and water features keeping the air cool and fresh. A must visit for all ages!

Seaquarium is a state-of-the-art marine life center that boasts 200 species of sea creatures including sharks, rays and seals bred on site as part of their protection program. The aquarium offers visitors an opportunity to witness and interact with a variety of sea animals such as baby sharks which can be touched. It has well-maintained tanks, toys, and awareness programs for visitors to learn about the different species. One of the highlights is the interesting story about monk seals.
We had an amazing time, and despite visiting on Easter Sunday, it did not feel crowded. There is lots to see, an almost endless variety of creatures, and loads of information in both French and English. We were lucky enough to catch the seal show, which is at random times to ensure that they do not fall into a routine and get bored. The tunnel, the big tank, all amazing. Buggies and wheelchairs were all well catered for with ramps and lifts. There was even an egg hunt as it was Easter day!

Lovley aquarium with loads of exhibitions, and nice to have it catered for with English signage also. Reasonably priced. Seal viewing area lovley inparticular to just watch them. Had no idea times they were fed though :(
Highlight of the holiday was getting to stroke the sharks!
But it was super crowded initally, especially, sure people spread out as you explore (eventually), but initially it was over whelming the amount of people and prams and bags squeezed into small spaces... Was ready to leave and im not especially claustrophobic either.

Perfect place for a kids and adults. I visited this place with my son three times during the week because he liked it so much.
His TOP3:

2. coloring fish on the tablet and watching on the monitor
3. taking photos and printing (2€)
FULLY RECOMMENDED

It's a nice place to spend time with kids or anyone who's interested in underwater life. For 16€ for an adult, you can see sharks, rays, huge turtles, different fish, other sea creatures and seals. The place is full of information about sea life, endangered species, water pollution puzzles for curious minds. The day I visited the seaquarium, there was a quest for children : they got a task at the entrance and had to look for clues around the aquarium. So their time there wasn't just wondering around and watching fish. There's a parking next to it and a few places to eat. The photos I post can't show the real beauty of the place, so go and check it yourself 🤗

Nice and modern sea aquarium. We were there during end of season and some items were not in use or was being cleaned. Fair money for value. Staff friendly and helpful.

Great Aquarium for a 2-hour visit! Plenty of activities for kids, clean and tidy aquariums. The fish look healthy and well taken care of. The entrance fees are reasonable for what you can see and do. There are some booths for pictures, an area where you can touch mini-sharks (highly recommended, really cool experience also for kids as they cannot bite). Overall a nice experience and time well spent! Really educative especially with regards to sensibilisation to waste in the oceans.

The aquariums were very beautiful. Especially the sharktunnel was our favourite place. We went there at about 13h and it was not too busy. But after an hour it became very busy and afterwards there was a long line to enter. Very happy we were out, because while it became busier it felt very crammed. We went with our littles ones (4y old and 1y old) and it was just right for them. Although, I find the price a tiny bit too expensive for how old the place looks. I hope they can renovate it bit by bit too make the place better.
