The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde showcases an array of ancient and medieval maritime culture. The highlight of the museum is five Viking ships that were discovered submerged at Skuldelev, majestically displayed in the main hall. Visitors can also explore the workshops of Museumso where archaeology and reconstruction work takes place, and Nordic longboats depart. Daily guided tours are available in English during summer months free of charge.
The museum is very well organized and very interesting. It does combine interactive plays for the kids as well as much educational information. The artifacts are beautiful and the models very detailed. A great destination for a rainy day. The city itself is a beautiful spot to spend a few days.

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

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

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

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

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

Everything you want from a ship museum: original archaeological finds, scale models, a working boatyard with detailed explanations of the construction process, actual reconstructed ships – and boat rides to try out the technology in first person mode.
We also got the chance to wear an authentic replica of a Viking shield and helmet and get a swing with a sword and axe.
Mike Raudo — Google review
A very cool museum. It has 5 Viking ships on display and lots of interesting information about their recovery and preservation. They have an area where the kids can play, pretend to be Vikings and sit on replica ships. The outdoor area is even bigger where you can see old ship building techniques. We were only here briefly but I’m sure you could spend hours here if you wanted to.

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

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

Very cool experience!! They have a Viking boat you can go I’m on in the harbor that’s part of the museum which was a really cool experience! The museum had cool history behind the Viking time period and artifacts. The coolest parts in my opinion are the bots and history section on the second level, on the bottom level a lot of it is about excavating pieces so if you don’t have much time I’d recommend just taking a quick glance at that part. They also have two cool half ships that kids can play in and explore as well as some Viking cloaks you can put on, super fun for kids too! A must see if you visit the Copenhagen area!
Drew Hunt — Google review
We were there last month and had a blast!
I can’t tell enough people about the trip on a Viking ship where we got to row and sail.
The living history museum is very well done.
I learned so much and wish I could build my own Viking ship at home now.
We showed up at 10 am to try to get into one of the first boats but had to wait about 2 hours to set sail.
We used the time to visit the cathedral near by. It was worth the wait and time well spent.
If you could get tickets in advance I would have done so in a heartbeat though.
We ended up spending almost a whole day on this excursion but no one regretted it.

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

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

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

This museum was the highlight of our Copenhagen visit, and one of the coolest museums I've ever been to!
We visited in the summer, with good weather, so there was a TON of interactive outdoor activities. This museum is so well laid out, and everything is a learning opportunity (even the trees have placards on them to learn about)!
There's a lot for kids, including building their own boat, and viking games outside. The absolute BEST part was getting to ride in a replica viking ship! You all row together, and depending on where you're seated, you may hoist or direct the sails, or even steer the ship! It was my favorite thing we did!
Grace Outlaw — Google review
Worth it. Its really spectacular to be this close to the viking. (Just the culture and story not viking its self i might not make it)
The museum done a great job with the narrative. I’m really enjoying it. How they bring audience to slightly interact with it.
The building is beautiful as well!

It is not big, but quite informative. Both the remains of old ships and modern replicas are very interesting to see and learn about.
Percy Chang — Google review
Museum contains real remains of 5 ships. Very interesting story and huge effort spent on preserving and assembling the archeological finds. You can also access the docked reconstructed ships and take photos on them, and there is a boatyard with some activities. The museum is quite small though and there is not much else to see apart from the ships, probably spent about 30min in the museum itself.
Roskilde Cathedral is a remarkable example of Gothic architecture from the 12th century, constructed with bricks and featuring twin spires. Originally built by Bishop Absalon in the year 1170, it has undergone numerous reconstructions that showcase over eight centuries of Danish architectural styles. As the royal mausoleum and a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, it contains over 37 tombs of Danish kings and queens. A full-color guidebook is included with admission.
In the cathedral you can sense the early gothic architecture in Northern Europe. In the cathedral are buried more than 40 Danish royal family members which is both impressive and exciting. Great customer service.
Ivo Georgiev — Google review
Absolutely stunning, really worth getting a proper tour because there's just so much history that it's great to learn - I only hope I can remember some of it! It's a mostly baroque cathedral with some elements from lots of periods. This is where Danish royalty have been buried since the 1400s and it's suitably beautiful. This is actually older than Copenhagen cathedral, so the oldest cathedral in the country. It's definitely a MUST-SEE if you come to Denmark. There are also a lot of services (it's a very active cathedral), including two on Sunday - when I might update this review! There's an organ concert once a month, which I would have loved to see! Many many thanks to Brian, one of the volunteers who was so knowledgeable, kind and patient: the perfect tour guide!

If you like history and especially UNESCO site, this place is a must visit. It's a cathedral with crypts and takes you down a memory lane. Many kings, queens, and other royals have this place as their final resting place. The cathedral itself is beautiful and very well maintained. Takes about an hour to cover. Also, about 10 mins walk gets you to Viking museum- which is another place that has so much rich history.

We visited Roskilde Cathedral whilst taking a day trip to Roskilde from Copenhagen. The Cathedral towers over this small city and is visible from the central train station.

The Cathedral is steeped in history and is a true gem for those that appreciate grand architecture. We spent over an hour in the Cathedral admiring its grandeur and taking photos. Entry is chargeable, however, if you have the Copenhagen card this venue is included in the price.

Must visit place in Denmark. One of the major Danish Church. 800 years of European architecture style. Worth visiting here, it is more than we expected. Gigantic church with lots of monuments with a great history.
You really appreciate the visit once you have been here. Amazing infrastructure and captivating monuments.
Entry ticket costs 60 DKK per adult as of December 2022. It is worth and the ticket cost is reasonable.
Spacious parking available including charging facilities for E Cars.
Recommend to visit here if you want to explore the old monuments and Danish history.

A lot more to see than first meets the eye. At first I was hesitant because they charge you 70DKK to get in, but there is a lot to see and you can easily spend two hours in there. Lots of crypts and ornamented coffins, side chapels with wonderful decorations and you can go upstairs to see everything from above. Also there is a small museum on the second floor.

We were very surprised at how beautiful the church was. The Danish Qweens casket for her was amazing .

Passing through Roskilde, we made ab effort to come and visit the cathedral and are glad we did. I think the importance of this cathedral had not been promoted highly enough as an important destination for international visitors. The final resting home of Denmark's monarchs, the history and beauty, were significant. Even my kids (7 & 10) appreciated it. Staff were so helpful and took the time to show us around. Well worth visiting.

My Saturday birthday morning would be an all-day tour; a grand day trip around Copenhagen. When the tour bus had gathered everyone from all the stops and our guide, Anders, introduced himself, we did the same by stating our names and the countries we were from. I found out that a young lady from the UK, was also celebrating her birthday on the same day. The cold, rainy morning drive took us to our first stop of the day; Roskilde Cathedral.
Seen as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Roskilde Cathedral is the Lutheran Church of Denmark and the official royal burial church for many Danish monarchs built in the 12th and 13th centuries. From November to March, much of the viewing takes place outside. The history given by our guide, gave insight to what was offered inside the cathedral that we could not see.

It's the official royal burial church of the Danish Monarchs. In 2018, the future resting place and monument for the current queen of Denmark Queen Margrethe II were placed in the chapel of St. Brigitte. Only King Frederick IX and Queen Ingrid were buried outside the cathedral, according to their wish.
Aida Brinza — Google review
One of the few places that deserve a visit in Denmark😉Said this, the cathedral offers several reasons to be visited. The most important is the fact that it is the place where at least 40 danish kings and queens are buried here. An accurate visit can take between one and two hours. There is a ticket.

I wish I had been able to go inside! The outside was amazing. This medieval town is everything you read about in stories and history books. Denmark - I LOVE YOU
The place was unique because of the history that it holds. You can see three layers (chalk, fish clay and lime stone). The fish clay is actually the remains of asteroid that collided 65 million years ago. Worth visiting once but I would go for Mons Klint if I have to choose anything between these two. Be careful with the steep stairs that take you to the root of the cliff.

A Scenic Stroll with a Few Items to Consider
⭐⭐⭐⭐
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Stevns Klint in Denmark, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The main highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the breathtaking walk above the cliffs, which offered stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
While the natural beauty of Stevns Klint was captivating, I did encounter a few minor inconveniences during my visit. One issue was the lack of multilingual signage inside the chapel. It would have been helpful to have translations in English, considering the number of international visitors this beautiful location attracts. However, I must commend the park authorities for having signs in both Danish and English (as well as German) scattered along the grounds, which provided some context and information about the area.
Unfortunately, during my visit, the second, more recent chapel was closed, which was a disappointment. It would have been fascinating to explore its interior and learn more about its history and significance. Nonetheless, I understand that occasional closures are inevitable, and it didn't significantly detract from the overall experience.
One thing to note is that paid parking is required at Stevns Klint. However, I found that there was ample parking available, which eased any concerns I had about finding a spot. Additionally, a pleasant surprise was the presence of a playground for kids. It's a thoughtful touch that ensures families with young ones can enjoy the visit even more.
In conclusion, Stevns Klint offers a remarkable opportunity to immerse oneself in nature's grandeur and witness awe-inspiring coastal cliffs. The lack of multilingual signage inside the chapel and the closure of the second chapel were minor setbacks, but the scenic beauty of the area and the well-maintained grounds compensated for these issues. With ample parking and a playground for children, it's a destination that caters to a wide range of visitors. If you appreciate natural wonders and don't mind the language barrier, Stevns Klint is definitely worth a visit.

I don't fully understand how this is a world heritage site. I've visited more than 300, and this one is a downer. Sure it is pretty around and there are sediments and fossils (I guess). But world heritage? Still a beautiful cost.

Very interesting to look around. Stairs down to the beach to the right of the old church. Pretty steep, so no point to try if you have any leg problems. The sand/ gravel at the beachbis very uneven. Bringing a stroller for a Child is also no point. Have good shoes, Mountain boots or similar.
If you don't need to go to the Beach there is a very nice walking path at the top of the kliff, with several great lookout points.

Stevns Klint deserves an unequivocal five-star rating. It may not rival the height of Mons Klint, but its own beauty is undeniable. This remarkable destination offers breathtaking cliffs, a charming church, a majestic lighthouse, a fun playground, clean toilets, and picturesque nature walks. Amidst the negative reviews, it's important to remember that different does not mean bad. Stevns Klint exudes tranquility, providing a serene escape into a captivating world of rugged cliffs and untouched natural wonders. Appreciate its unique allure, immerse yourself in its history, and let it leave an indelible mark on your heart.

Guided tours of a 1950s underground fortress carved into limestone cliffs, plus cannons & tanks.
We visited Stevnsfort a group of friends, took the special tour, and what an experience! Our guide Jørn Due was a great storyteller, and we had an amazing time around the fort and all the hallways and secret passage ways. A big recommendation to visit this place of Danish military history! 🇩🇰

A tour that is definitely worthwhile. Not only the bunkers and all the military equipment are worth the trip, but especially the dramatic history behind them.

Very amazing place stuck in time!
But to visit the underground bunker, you need to take a guided tour, which are only available in german & danish. If you do no speak any of those like I do, you need to download an app with the local wifi there, to listen to an audio guide in English
The main issue is that the content of the audio guide represents half, or a quarter of what the guide says, so you miss a lot of informations unfortunatly
PS : it's quite cold down there, don't come with light clothes

Interesting to walk through the site above ground and best of all the tour of the bunker deep beneath he ground! Bring a sweater as the bunker is 10 degrees year round.

Amazing former military base where you can explore all the equipment, installations, and instruments like radars, canons, missiles and the base itself. You must buy a ticket for a guided tour. It takes 1.5 hours and gives you access to the large underground bunker. It is spectacular and well preserved like a time capsule. This is a "must see" for anyone interested in military and cold war history. The museum has an interesting gift shop with books and some military gear.
Bring a jacket (it is cold in the bunker).

A very interesting place. The underground tour in particular is very interesting, informative and impressive. A star deduction because the tour is only available in Danish and as a foreigner you have to walk around with an audio guide on your own mobile phone and have to listen against the voice of the guide.

St. Bendt's Church, a historic site dating back to 1160, contains the remains of several Danish monarchs and queens. This magnificent church is steeped in Danish royal history and located in the heart of a charming town with red roofs. The church's captivating architecture is noteworthy both inside and out, making it an impressive sight to behold. Its storied past includes tales of fratricide for the crown as well as accounts of notable women who left their mark on society.
Always love to visit this grand old church...steeped in Danish royal history..brother killing brother for the crown in the manner of Cain and Abel but most important stories about great women whio left a mark on their societies. Old Denmark in the center of charming little town with red roofs.

Queen Dagmar's grave is empty. Back in 2014 the ghost of Queen Dagmar appeared to me at night. She showed me where she was buried, in a churchyard under a big tree just outside the St. Bendt's Church in Ringsted. When i told one of the priests in the church (in 2019) about it he dismissed the idea, because he thought she was buried inside the church. I asked him to check the records/archives of the church and when he did he realized that i was telling the truth. Queen Dagmar's body was removed from her grave by an evil queen called Berengaria back in 1219 (This is not written in the archives though). I told him that i wrote a book about this supernatural account (Now published). I even showed him the place where her body was tossed with her diadem, but he didn't do anything about it. He just said that there was a monestary over there once. I could only imagine that he would rather keep this story secret than have the body of Queen Dagmar dug up and put back in its original grave inside the church. And he calls himself a man of God. I was hurt that he didn't even contact others about it. He could have at least contacted a clairvoyant. People have the right to know the truth. Shame on you St. Bendts Church for disgracing Queen Dagmar and her husband. Some day people will find out that her grave is empty and where she is really buried. Then the priests of St. Bendts Church will be put to shame for hiding the truth from the world. Her relatives in Bohemia also have the right to know the truth. I tried my best to inform people about it, but for no avail. I regret that no one in Ringsted is doing anything about it, let alone St. Bendt's Church. Tourists are visiting the church nearly every day, thus, what i don't understand is how can the priests who know the truth, tell the tourists that Queen Dagmar is buried inside the church? How can the priests lie to the people without qualms? Doesn't the bible tell us that the truth shall set us free?

Gavnø Island is a picturesque destination that boasts an exquisite rococo castle adorned with antiques, artwork, and furnishings. The island also features stunning seasonal flower gardens which are sure to take your breath away. Additionally, the castle has many portrait paintings on display and a church hall that's worth visiting. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of the island all year round and admire its well-maintained tulips when they're in season.
Enjoyed the castle and the tulips were gorgeous.
Tim Arnold — Google review
I should have paid attention to the reviews on trip advisors before buying tickets, the entrance fees are expensive not to mention the long journey there and back with castle representative who is self-entitled and lacking in empathy and conscience as per many visitors review on trip advisor. They posted pictures of tulips on their website stating that there will be tulips from April to May but grass is all that we saw when we went in May. Other gardens will close for replanting with clear closure date on the website but this place insist that they did nothing wrong for making visitors travel and waste half a day after paying for the expensive tickets. Their sales coordinator Mit freundlichen Grüssen Trine Skarnager even scolded me and replied in a mean condescending tone for politely asking if we could get a refund and wanting to share our experience on trip advisor. Very arrogant, demeaning attitude and one of the worst service recovery ever. There was poor signage and the castle was cordoned off with no one onsite to ask so we could not enter. We visited Kalmar castle and the hosts there are so much friendlier and helpful with cheaper tickets and the place is much more beautiful with more things to see. In the end I let them keep my money, if only money could buy their conscience, other than swallowing tourists hard earn money for the hollow facade with decaying hospitality.

You can easily spend many hours here

(Translated by Google) We have just had a trip to Gavnø castle. It is both the first and the last time. We arrived at 1.34pm and bought tickets from a very nice ticket lady. Afterwards we went around and saw the castle, butterflies and the garden. At 14.39 we both go to the toilet opposite the cafe. There is a young girl talking out of the window with other guests as we pass by. When we have been to the toilet we go back towards the cafe to go in and have something to eat and drink. When we pass the young girl she asks as if we are about to commit a criminal act, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO? We say we would like a trip to the cafe to eat. Have you bought a ticket, again in a not very customer-friendly way of asking, and her facial expression is certainly not welcoming either. Yes, we have that. Good but I have no more food in the cafe. We are well aware that the young lady may not have seen us come out of the park and go to the toilet, but being so negative and almost criminalizing guests who visit the place is not good advertising. Perhaps there should be training in dealing with guests
Continue to have a good summer at Gavnø castle

Vi har lige været en tur på Gavnø slot. Det er både første og sidste gang. Vi kom kl 13.34 og købte billetter af en meget sød billetdame. Herefter var vi rundt og se slottet, sommerfugle og haven. Kl 14.39 går vi begge på toilettet skråt overfor cafeen. Der står en ung pige og taler ud af vinduet med andre gæster, da vi går forbi. Da vi har været på toilettet går vi tilbage mod cafeen for at gå ind og få lidt at spise og drikke. Da vi passerer den unge pige spørger hun, som om vi er ved at begå en kriminel handling, HVAD SKAL I? Vi siger, vi vil gerne en tur i cafeen for at spise. Har I købt billet, igen på en ikke særlig kundevenlig måde at spørge på, og hendes ansigtsudtryk er bestemt heller ikke imødekommende. Ja, det har vi da. Godt men jeg har ikke mere mad i cafeen. Vi er godt klar over, den unge dame måske ikke har set os komme ud ad parken og gå på toilettet, men at være så negativ og nærmest kriminalisere gæster, der besøger stedet er ingen god reklame. Der burde måske sættes ind med en oplæring i at omgås gæster
Fortsat god sommer på Gavnø slot

A chilling reminder of a less forgiving time where the west and east were divided, a Cold War watchtower with a history of those that tried to make there way to the west….. worth a visit. Information boards are in Germany only but the pictures tell a story. You can climb the tower for a small fee (2€ per person). 4 stars only because of the lack of multi lingual support.

Next to the tower there is a small museum where some things are explained. Just go in and read.

The Church of St. Nicholas, a magnificent redbrick structure that survived World War II almost unscathed, stands as a testament to Late Gothic architecture in Northern Europe. It is the largest of its kind and boasts a stunning Baroque-style interior adorned in red and beige hues. Visitors can explore the church from 10am to 6pm for a donation of 2 euros per adult, with printed guides available in English and German.
A very beautiful church of St. Nicholas. Jut 5 minutes away from the main station and 10 minutes from the port harbour. This church is one of the main tourist attractions of Wismar. It has the same neo-gothic architecture built up in red stone. Inside you can find printed guides in English and German to have a read while you walk around. Has a small souvenir and postcard kiosk inside the church itself.

This tower in Wismar has a very beautiful view over the city centre and harbour. It's possible to see it only as a part of group tour. The group tours happen at the each full hour and cost 3 euros per person. The visit time is around 45 to 60 minutes and happens with guide and group. The stories told by guide take around half of the tour time, rest is used for climbing and taking pictures. It's rather not for English speaking people only, as the guide speaks only German. But if you're interested in seeing Wismar from above and seeing the tower from inside, it's definitely worth it.

However, don't expect to be able to go on the tour in the tower unless you speak German. We were denied by the cashier and told to go to the close by church instead for a view, because the tour at St Marienkirche wasn't available in English and would take an hour. It didn't matter to us, but she said no. Very disappointed as the inside of the tower and the view was the thing that drew us there, but now we couldn't see it. It was only €3 but it's very frustrating when it's not available for outsiders.

From the beginning;
Easy to find and nice parking.
Quite reasonable pricing
Easy to get around and with most of the animals you would expect - But missed Elephants, Zebra and Tiger - maybe also some snakes / reptiles.
The goats where the highlight for our daughter (2 year) -- since you get to go inside the fence and touch / feed the animals.
But talking about feeding - some ignorant visitors feed all animals with the animal food sold at the entrance - and they even feed the paper bags to the animals... Thank good it's not plastic bags !! - But not nice.
Small restaurant with OK menu of fast food - unfortunately there was nothing fast about the serving - 30 minutes for a basic meal is way too long !!
The absolute worst part of the entire park was the toilet facilities at the restaurant - Very small and very very dirty, to the point of too disgusting and hold your breath until the next toilet at the entrance.

Palace with medieval origins & a surrounding park, with public exhibits & festivities in summer.

Lübecker Altstadt
Sights & Landmarks
Neighborhoods
Lively Innenstadt is Lübeck’s medieval old town, known for its courtyards, alleys, and squares lined with ornate gabled buildings. Among its many landmarks are the 1400s Holstentor gate, home to a city history museum, Gothic churches like the towering Marienkirche, and the 1286 Heiligen-Geist-Hospital. The Museum Harbor has historic sailing ships, while small specialist shops and German restaurants dot the area.
Lubeck's most important church, Marienkirche, is a beautiful Gothic structure that was rebuilt after almost being destroyed by the RAF during WWII. The intricate details of the brick-vaulted roof are what fascinate people, rather than the sheer size and height of the building.
Amazing interior. So high are the towers that they can almost touch the sky.

Marienkirche is the third-largest church in Germany, and one of the five large Gothic brick churches in Lübeck. The interior is stunning and learning the history of it was so interesting. During an air raid, a lot of the church was destroyed but it's been beautifully restored. During my time at the church, they were restoring another facade as well. There is a reconstruction of the Danse Macabre, and also some beautiful reliefs of the Last Supper and some statues of Mary, Gabriel, etc. I'm a huge fan of Bach and I was delighted to read that Bach may have come to Marienkirche to play the now-destroyed Totentanzorgel (Danse Macabre organ). I believe they also have services in Marienkirche, although I went on a weekday so I'm not 100% positive. Based on signage, I would say so. I recommend stopping in to learn about the history of Lübeck and the church, or even to sit in on a service! I'm going to come back perhaps to see the other four churches.

St. Mary's Church which was built between 1250 and 1350 is the third largest church in Germany. It and has always been a symbol of the power and prosperity of the old Hanseatic city.

Out of 7 spires that dominate Lubeck skyline, two of them belong to St. Mary's Church.
The Church was built in a time frame of 100 years between 1260 and 1350, replacing the 1200's smaller Chapel.
Lubeck's St. Mary's is considered a cornerstone of German Gothic brick Churches.
It was built according to French Gothic Churches with outer supporting arches but with use of bricks instead of stone. Likewise, the interiors feature the world's tallest brick vaults.
St. Mary's suffered a total destruction in WWII, but was rebuilt shortly after the war.
Two huge bells which fell from the Tower during the bombing are kept in one of the Chapels inside.
TIP: You wont notice the St. Mary's sheer size from the ground as it's packed in downtown area. To appreciate it's size observe it from St. Peters tower which has the best city views.
The only reason I deduct one star is paying entrance fee of 4 Euros

Entry to this church is €4 and I recommend a visit, especially to see the exhibition about the Lübecker Totentanz (medieval dancebof death) and astronomical clock.

Beautiful church. Entry is 4eur for adults, 2 for kids.
The organ is pretty, but the astronomical clock is truly amazing.
Stained glasses are worth checking out, and the ‘Totentanz’
István Nagy — Google review
This is a huge church but it's crammed into the streets nearby so it's difficult to get an idea of the scale. Inside the church is vast - apparently the largest brick built vault in the world. The interior is whitewashed and then decorated but in a very understated way. There are a few small chapels to the side, an interesting altarpiece (I think), a recreated astronomical clock and World War 1 memorial. Definitely worth a visit to see the wealth of the Hanseatic merchants.
The Holstentor Museum in Lubeck is a historic gate which stands proud as a relic of the city's mercantile days. It is a popular tourist destination and houses displays about Lubecks medieval past. The gate is well-maintained and has an impressive effect, making it one of the highlights of any visit to Lubeck.
Beautiful town with beautiful people. A real pleasure to walk this streets of history, to eat at the riverside, to visit the museums and churches and take the lift up in the highest tower.

Beautiful medieval city gate. It’s interesting how the two towers are dissolved into the flat elevation on the inner city-facing side.

Holstein gates are the perfect solution for any garden or plot. Their stylish design and high quality workmanship make a great impression. They are strong, functional and durable. I am delighted with my Holstein Gate and would recommend it to anyone looking for an elegant and secure solution for their property.

Small but truly historical. This structure was completed in the 1400 and it's just amazing to be able to go inside and get a feel of how life was back then. It felt like being inside an old castle.
Somethings you only see in the movies. It was a great learning experience going here.

Imposing structure that you cannot miss walking into Lubeck's central square from the train station. Definitely built to denote strength and power and while it's sagging into its centre, looks like it'll still.be around 500 years from now. It's a paid museum now but just walking through the square and through its gate is an awesome experience.

Holstentor is the western gate of the fortified medieval city which was the capital of entire Hansaetic League of Baltic cities for centuries.
Dating back to 1464, it is considered one of the most beautiful medieval gates in all Germany, and for that reason was even on the back side of the old 50 DM banknote.
The gate is really stunning - fairy tale like and little bit leaned.
Inside is a small historic museum with models and history explanation and great gift shop. The outer face has gun openings for city protection, while the inner face is richly decorated. Perfect photo op both, day and night
Dejan Braki — Google review
I didn't go in to the building - not sure it was even open to be honest as both times I walked through there were no obvious signs. The building is one of the old city gates and the emblem of modern Lubeck. It is a very impressive, brick built fifteenth century fortification but now stands in isolation, the city walls having been removed in the nineteenth century.
There is an interesting contrast between the inside and outside walls of the building. The walls facing the city have lots of windows and are very ornate, the exterior walls have far fewer openings other than those for guns. There are also doubts over the accuracy of the early twentieth century restorations.

Another great historical site, the old gatehouse to Lübeck. A museum on site to visit here as well.
A really nice little “mall town”.
It feels very much like a nice little village, if every building was a designer clothes store. It really uses the Disneyland trick to kinda close off the outside world to make you relaxed and feel encapsulated in the shopping feel, of course on a much smaller scale but still.
There’s even a very impressive playground, to entertain the children while the parents shop.
Also nice food options there where nice pizzas in the back of the compound, and a Five Guys burger joint whose burgers I can really recommend.

Great selection of brands. Selection in stores good also. Best of all was the way they set up the outlet. I expected storage buildings but it’s more like a small town where you walk outdoors between shops. There’s an opportunity to buy hamburgers, pizza and crepes but we found no real good. Prices are decent.

Such a nice village
Get lost around the shops
Get hungry and get some loaded fries or waffles
I do agree with some others that the parking is over priced and should actually be free if you have shopped in the village, they should validate your ticket, if you haven't bought anything then it's fine pay the fine 😊
Doany brands to choose from
Here is definitely something for everyone
Nice enough as well that they have toilets located everywhere and unlikely in Germany they are free.

Designer Outlet Neumünster is a shopper's dream come true! This outlet offers a fantastic retail therapy experience with its diverse range of high-end brands at discounted prices.
The layout of the outlet is well-planned, making it easy to navigate through the various stores. The wide selection of shops, from fashion to home goods, ensures that there's something for every taste and preference. The ambiance is inviting, and the open-air setting adds a pleasant touch to the shopping experience.
What truly sets Designer Outlet Neumünster apart is the exceptional customer service.

We came here early around 1030am and all the outdoor parking is already full so we had to park in the carpark building on the opposite side of the Outlet. Do expect traffic jam as this is super auto centric area. There is women exclusive parking spot on the groundfloor of the carpark but somehow a lot of men park there. Free umbrella provided on a bad weather. By the time we exit at 1400 the carpark building was so full, that there is a queue to enter.
Unfortunately, i didnt snap any pic here as it was constantly raining.
On the price tag, there will be 2 prices attached. One is standard retail price and another is outlet price which is normally 10% cheaper. If you are lucky, there are also a third price tag,sales price,where the price would be up to 70% off. No discount on food, standard price for 5guys and Starbucks. Is it worth travelling here? Yes, if you want or need to shop a lot of new clothe, shoe or kitchenware. Do come in a group so it makes the travelling worthwhile.

It was a wonderful visit, as it is located in the city center, and it was the residence of the dukes from 1753 to November 8, 1918.. Within it is the Schloss commercial complex, which contains a wide range of shops such as clothing, food, restaurants, electronics, cosmetics, and perfumes... It is wonderful. If you visit the city of Braunschweig, do not forget to go there and take souvenir photos

Although the frontage is a rebuilt of the old castle, inside there is a shopping mall. In a city like Braunschweig the mall is well visited, and attracts visitors from neighbouring towns and villages. The schloss (palace) is easily accessible by public transport.
Other than the mall, the main attraction is the schloss museum. Although small, it is quite nice and informative. One can also climb to the roof top where the Quadriga statue is located. On the right side, there is also a public library.

In Brunswick's schlossplatz stands the stunning building known as Brunswick Palace. When I passed by this majestic monument on the route to Gaussberg Park, I must admit that it was awe-inspiring. Only when I travel to the UK do I see monuments like this.
According to what I was told, this palace was constructed sometime in the 18th century and underwent a number of renovations over its existence. I have heard that it once served as a residence for the Brunswick dukes in the 18th century.
Wonderful to pass past this building.

Stunning City Palace with a remarkable history. The old home of the Dukes of Braunschweig, the last of whom abdicated in 1918, the Schloss was destroyed twice, first by fire and then of course in the bombing raids of the Second World War. Against massive protests it was demolished in the 1960s and finally rebuilt in the 2000s to cover a shopping mall.
You can easily spot the parts that came from the original Schloss. The architecture is beautiful and the site is in the centre of the city so absolutely a must visit when in Braunschweig. There’s a small museum in the left hand wing of the palace that is free, as well as the lifts to see the Quadriga at the very top that’s also free for the time being. The entrance is just to the right of the main entrance.

The Brunswick Cathedral, a renowned 12th-century church adorned with frescoes and featuring a crypt for Guelph rulers like Henry the Lion, is a significant landmark in Braunschweig that must be visited by tourists. While it is free to visit during specific hours, its exterior beauty does not necessarily translate to an equally interesting interior. Nonetheless, this cathedral still remains as a central hub of activities and life in the city.
This is a marvelous place to visit. Beautiful frescoes! It was great to see the tomb of Henry the Lion and Mathilde as well as the wonderfully atmospheric crypt.
David McLoughlin — Google review
Braunschweig Cathedral is a truly extraordinary place that left a profound impact on me. From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported to a bygone era, overwhelmed by the weight of history that permeates every corner of this majestic structure.
The cathedral's architecture is a testament to human creativity and skill. Its soaring spires and intricate details are a sight to behold. The craftsmanship on display is nothing short of remarkable, with each delicate carving and carefully placed stone revealing the dedication and talent of the artisans who brought this architectural masterpiece to life. Every turn brought new surprises, and I found myself lost in admiration, marveling at the sheer grandeur of it all.
However, the cathedral's beauty extends far beyond its physical appearance. Its walls reverberate with stories of centuries past, and the sense of timelessness is palpable. It has witnessed historical events, joyous celebrations, and solemn moments of reflection. As I learned about its rich history, I couldn't help but feel a deep reverence for the generations that came before us and the cultural heritage they left behind.
Inside the cathedral, I encountered a collection of special sculptures that added an extra layer of fascination. These sculptures, meticulously crafted with exquisite detail, seemed to possess a life of their own. Their expressive forms and captivating presence drew me in, and I was captivated by the stories they told. Each one was a testament to the artistic prowess of the past, reminding me of the power of human creativity and the ability to transform stone into something truly extraordinary.
In conclusion, Braunschweig Cathedral is more than just a building. It is a gateway to the past, an architectural wonder, and a repository of history and art. Visiting this remarkable cathedral is an immersive experience that will transport you to ancient times and leave you with a deep appreciation for the enduring legacy of our ancestors. Prepare to be enchanted by its timeless beauty, to marvel at its architectural splendor, and to be moved by the stories it silently whispers.

A long overdue piece , I visited this absolutely beautiful cathedral in April, it was a cloudy morning and I was incidentally in time for Ms.Monika's famed church tour (it was around 11 am ) , and boy was i was amazed. She breathed and lived the cathedral's rich history, dark times and the subsequent restoration. Her impeccable attention to detail and careful explanation bought the cathedral to life. A proficient bi -lingual (German and English) , she did an outstanding job to weave the narrative of the journey of the cathedral from past to present.
The tour itself is about an hour and free , the cathedral has stood the test of time and is a testament to faith, history and changing times of the surrounding regions. The architecture (gothic- renaissance) is a splendid remainder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the city itself. The staff and local agencies involved are doing a wonderful job of preserving this splendid piece of architecture, if Braunschweig is not on your radar, give it a try, gems like these won't dissapoint you.

Beautiful, centre of life in Braunschweig. A must to visit when in the city. It is open to the public specific hours and free to visit.
Child-friendly amusement park, with rides & model dinosaurs plus live magic shows & a petting zoo.
if you're neither looking for crazy rides nor a theme park that pretty much yells "I was made in 2023! I'm super modern! Look at me how shiney I am!", then you should go to this theme park if you're into 'vintage' parks. This park is a bit on the older side of life but made with so much detail and love.
My friend and I are always coming back because it just makes you feel "at home". Nostalgic classic rides, nostalgic colors .. love it! Also, it's great for smaller/younger kids, not so much for teens who usually want to go on fast rides ;) it's definitely worth it (as an adult) to come here in the late afternoon for a price reduction

It's such a shame that this park is not well organized. We visit the park 4 person on a Saturday afternoon. We waited at one food station 1,5 hours, finally when we arrived in front to order the electronic sistem was broken so they start to close. We went to the next food station were we waited for 4 pizza 1,5 again, because there was working only one boy who was sooooooooooooooo slowly... It was like a bad joke. So we lost 3 hours only waiting in the lines for food. For 81 euros 2 adults and 2 kids IT WAS NOT WORTH IT! Never again we will come here and we don't recommend. Shame for the animals, this was the only nice thing here.

Tours of an elaborate castle, built upon Medieval foundations & finished in the 19th-century.
Well worth the visit. We were not sure what to expect of Wernigerode but we were absolutely blown away by this castle. Such an incredible building inside and out. I would recommend paying to see the inside as it's really impressive.
James Paylor — Google review
This castle is located in the top of a hill, having a magnificent view towards the town of Wernigerode. The garden of the castle and the view are the best sights of the castle. The castle indoors is nice, well preserved, but you should do not expect to see a palace. There are more luxury castles in Vienna or elsewhere. Also, the whole castle architecture is asymmetrical and that's also beautiful and creative. It gives a mysterious and kind of dark sense to me. For sure it worth a visit combined with a visit to the town underneath which is also very picturesque.

An interesting experience in visiting the castle and its interior. Lots of interesting things to see and experience. The pleasant smell of old wood and stone is present. And special freshness in the walls, pleasant if you do it during the summer. In front of the castle there is a park and a nice view of the city. All recommendations.

This is a stunning castle overlooking the beautiful town of Wernigerode - you can’t miss it really, sat on top of the hill! You have choices on how to get up there - walking, by bimlebahn or by horse drawn carriage, we did the latter and it was a wonderful way to spend 30 mins and get to look at the town as you go up to the castle - highly recommended! The castle itself is stunning, we thoroughly enjoyed it even though the majority of the info is obviously in German, there are some bits in English, for example it would describe the room but not the individual contents. Photography and video are not allowed inside the castle unfortunately. There is also a couple of cafes there for some refreshments and a small gift shop. Stunning views over the town from the castle grounds. Lovely way to spend a few hours, not to be missed if you’re in the area!

We walked from our hotel, Hotel Erbprinzenpalais, to the Castle. 250 ft incline but paved and places to rest along the way if needed… took us less than 10 min.
As expected, the castle was magnificent. The historic “presence” was tangible. We elected for a self guided tour but if you’re into the history, a guide is well worth it.
We got there just before before opening at 10 AM and took about an hour to walk through. There’s a little cafe that opens at 11 so we grabbed a table and enjoyed some Apple Strudel and coffee but the had beer and champagne with strawberries too. Just as we sat the place got busy with tour groups so folks were waiting for a table. Get
There early and it shouldn’t be an issue.
Over all a great experience! And on your way out, take the hiking path to Wild Park Wernigerode Christianental. The path is easy and although not a lot of animals, the park is beautiful and worth the trip.

I've gone to this castle about 5 times with visitors from other countries, and I feel like they don't do enough with special exhibits. My first time there they had an incredible and very fun Donald Duck art exhibit that was light-hearted and and fun juxtaposition to the history of the castle. Since then, there has only been one special exhibit, and the was the most recent one for Christmas, and it wasn't particularly exciting.
So if you only go to the castle once, it's quite exciting, especially the dining hall. But for the frequent flyers, I feel it lacks something special to keep people coming back again and again.
But, I did see my first double rainbow from the balcony of the palace, so that was special!

The castle was very nice, I recommend to visit it because it remains very similar as the original building and it’s very beautiful. However, you will probably not understand a thing because all the explanations are just in German, not in English. There aren’t audioguides either (in any language).
Very important: DON’T BUY THE TICKETS IN INTERNET. We did it and the web didn’t work well at all: we wanted just 4 tickets and we bought 8 of them because of a mistake. We complained about it in the reception and the girl there refused to speak in English and she demanded that we spoke in German. In short, she didn’t help us at all and we had to sell them to other people at the entrance of the castle. Fortunately, a German girl (a tourist) helped us a lot. It’s a shame that someone working in front of the public at a tourist place don’t know how to speak in English.

The castle is partly under reconstruction (outside). An adult ticket costs 10 euros. Circular tours of the two floors of the castle are available. From the observation deck you have a beautiful view of the city, which has a medieval charm. A great place for a guided tour.
I have to admit I didn’t make it all the way to the top. After being packed in the back of an open train car for an hour, I got off and took a train back down the mountain. The 96 euro cost for two adults is an insane price to pay for no seat assignment. The regional trains are very nice, affordable, not packed, and air conditioned. The nostalgia of steam isn’t worth the hassle.

Few camp grounds around, so you're able to plan your multiple day hiking trip around those.

We stayed in Harz for a good few days with friends. The amount of beautiful trails, viewpoints, ... Is incredible. In every season stunning. I suggest winter and the peak of autumn. Wake up early and enjoy. Brocken is amazing at sunset! But dont forget to take the train back on time.

Visited in the end of February and the place was beautiful. Covered entirely with snow, small streams running through and pretty hiking trails through out. Prefect place to enjoy the snow and walk. Would love to go back.

Place is very beautiful and people kind and friendly. As I don't speak German, it was a little bit challenging to get there using train. But totally worth it and I will definitely return. The park is amazing and I still have much to discover.
Very cheap. To go up costs 2.50€. To go up and down costs 4,00€ per person. It’s super fun. The view is amazing. Especially during the summer time the view is amazing with lots of nature around.
Highly recommended. The alternative is to walk up, but if you aren’t a sports guy than that will be quiet intense to do so.

Lovely short ride to a neat mountaintop restaurant. Unfortunately the staff on duty wouldn't speak English, so a girl had her leg pinced and the operator didn't realize it, didn't understand the girl talking and gesticulating and didn't help. Hope the poor girl figured on her own how to unstick her leg. Else the short ride might have been unbearably long for her.

The view is amazing. It's a good walk, so bring water with you. It was raining and foggy, but it was still worth it. They have some light shows at night, so I recommend going later.

We visited the lower ground of the castle while on a family vacation.
The views are amazing, lovely gardens and many green alleys to indulge in nature. Gardens are very well maintained and are simply breathtaking. You can enjoy a lovely view of the City from the top part of the castle

Very beautiful place! The castle itself is closed from November till end of March, but you can still walk the outside and climb up and down to the castle

The museum is good enough to enjoy the stories of the Greeks. However, it has no ancient monuments as it contains prototypes for statues, vases and temples. However, It contains some nice art work and it is the only place in Kassel to buy souvenirs as postcards and magnets 🧲 😀. A bit expensive souvenirs, but it's okay..

A beautiful art gallery housed in a new classical palace in a landscape park.
The gallery holds a fine collection of art including works of Rembrandt and Rubens.
The landscape park is named Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe (which means mountain-park) and it has been declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 2013

apart from a handful of gems, second rate works from second rate artists. reflections, bad and sometimes flickering lighting deserve the exposed pieces. one entire floor closed (without explanation, possibly because of missing enough employees) and many works removed from the walls with hooks left falling down. unpleasant and amateur staff seal the visit. how sad.
Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe is a vast and impressive art museum displaying Flemish & German Old Masters, with a collection of antique weaponry and ancient ceramics. The park itself offers an opportunity for a leisurely walk amidst breathtaking surroundings, perfect for spending quality time with family. Although some parts are currently under renovation, the sheer size of the park ensures that there are still plenty of benches to relax on and opportunities to capture memorable photographs.
Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe is beautiful and it's something that should be on everyone's list. The place is huge so it's advisable to go early so you can spend time walking around the park. Some parts are under renovation as of now but not a show stopper.

What a beautiful park! You can find lots of tracks to follow at your own pace, beautiful buildings such as “old fashioned” castle and the Hercules statue.
520 more stairs to reach the top, if you can make it it will be memorable!

Beautiful park in Kassel with a lot of things to see. The park combines nature and historical architecture to give you a good time when visiting. The well maintained paths make walking in the park very easy and just enjoyable with a lot of things to see while walking around it… the views you get just makes it even more worth it to visit. A must visit place when visiting Kassel!

Under construction right now so save your visit for awhile, absolutely nothing to see inside right now, all blocked off. Plenty of places to walk around the castle with lovely benches everywhere.

Stunning garden with incredible water features, aqueduct, ruins, lovely bridges and more. It's 1,5km hike up the hill but well worth it. There is no entry fee to the garden but there is a palace that functions as a museum and a small castle that you have pay an entry fee. There is a Cafe near the museum and on top of the hill. The one on top was closed on Mondays and Tuesdays when we visited.

What a beautiful park! The buildings and the nature is fantastic. You can follow the trail and the view after the climb over is gorgeous specially with fall colours.I loved it!

This park is filled with natural beauty and historical structures. There’s mountain, forest and 3 amazing castles. You can take a bus from main train station to the top of mountain where herkules is. And you can see all the beautiful landscapes while climbing down.

An absolute wholesome experience. You can book a two days trip here book a nice little air bnb (I stayed at helga's- the couple is super sweet and helpful) visit the wilhelmshöhe and reserve a nice brunch/frühstück at some Cafe. It's worth the visit. Breathtaking view and a must visit place.

This is a very large park, basically a half to full day event with a wonderful castle, this amazing waterfall and Hercules construction, and more. Not a huge amount of parking so when the water falls are operating it may get very busy. All free, except the parking :)

Lots of ups and downs.
There are several signs telling stories of the historical events of the park, but all of them are worn out to the point where you can't read anything - a real shame such a historical significant place!
No public parking places - you have to park at a nearby hotel.

Great place to enjoy nature and hike.
The view from the top is splendid which made the trail so worth it (there's a bus though that can take you all the way to the top, or can take the car to avoid walking).

In the dense dawn, one runs into a wall of fog, and thus begins the metamorphosis on a blank, white paper. Alone on the running journey, the faithful companion, the heron, is suddenly discovered, and the mountain park unfolds into an endless symphony of solitude. Amidst rows of trees forming a Japanese calligraphy, no hiker is encountered; one is closest to oneself. The cold air cuts while breathing, blowing thought bubbles into the atmosphere. A feeling of happiness permeates as you ascend higher, past old companions, massive trees from distant worlds, summoning colonial thoughts that seamlessly fit into the visual axis. Here, I claim this park as my inner refuge, a territorial sense of home, viewed from the outside.
The path leads higher, ever higher, past the Devil's Bridge, which changes its aura daily in capricious moods. In this ascent, in this transformation, a metaphor for the pursuit of higher values is revealed. Every path is familiar until finally reaching the summit, the Hercules. Here, encountering early morning tourists whose smoke seems to taint the pure spirit - here, no poison is needed. A swift return, circling the Löwenburg like a perfect drawing in a Disney landscape. Even Michael Jackson would have liked to erect fences here, but it remains a public place, a park that I miss painfully wherever I am in the world. Here, one feels alive, the heart beats faster, faster.

This Place is straight out of a fairytale movie... was really cool.. I have to walk from the Bahnhof all the way up there.. it was paid off.. sadly the Construction still going on

A great park and quite naturally a must-see when visiting Kassel. Of course, summer is the best time for a visit as the water features will be active, but even in winter (when I visited), it's a five star experience if you visit the five stations of the water features and the other highlights. Despite it's erratic layout, the park is easy to navigate thanks to many maps scattered throughout.
One point of consideration is that after snowfall has melted and frozen again (which was the case during my visit), various walkways and staircases can become very slippery, to the point of becoming dangerous to walk upon.

What a lovely place to visit. Nice walks in greenery. Fresh air, sound of flowing water, birds. You can easily spend your whole day here. 6€ ticket is worth it. You can visit the top of Hercules statue, museum, Löwenberg all in the same ticket. The view from top was awesome.

Running. Definitely a great location for your run, especially if you are into hill training. Lots of places to see along the way in case I need to catch your breath. Paved and unpaved roads, plenty of shade in the summer and during winter, the trees protect you from the wind.
The Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe is home to a monument complex situated at its highest point, featuring a copper statue of Hercules. This architectural marvel is highly recommended for nature and architecture enthusiasts alike. While the journey down the stairs and towards the castle may be arduous, it is deemed worth every step. One can opt to take a bus up and then walk down from atop until reaching the stunning castle, with an option to traverse through a foresty park and witness a small waterfall.
Amazing view and great place to walk. I saw people having picnic, enjoying the sun. Make sure you have water with you especially if you go with kids. There are 2 restaurants so you can charge your batteries before you start climbing. Enjoy!

This is the best experiences I had in Germany. It is wonderful with nature and location of the forte at the top of the mountain. You have to take a long way with steps upwards to arrive at the top. It is simply worth it. Be careful of slippery steps of snowing

Beautifull.
We went to see the free to enter Monument outside, parking was next to it.
You can make some water dance for a slight € wich was a fun little activity to watch.
Everything looks beautifull and i can't wait to see it once the waterfountains are put back on and are in season again.
Really recommend going here, but please watch out with fear of hights and its not save when you are not a stable walker!

Nice place to visit. There are a lot of stairs but we were with a child on a buggy. At first we thought we couldn't go down, but on the right side of the movement there is a path to go down, making it accessible for people who can't walk the stairs, but can go down and up the hill.

I had an amazing hike to the top from the city center. I had the chance to wander around the castles on the way and visit the museum before I head up to the statue. It was around 2.5 hours of walking and it was stunning. Definitely worth a visit.

Just like the previous reviews I’m also recommending this place to everyone who is interest in nature and architecture. It isn’t that easy to go down all the stairs and afterwards all the way down to the castle BUT I‘M TELLING YOU IT‘S WORTH EVERY STEP. Going up you can take a Bus and then start from the top and walk down until you reach the beautiful castle. If you want you can even walk through a foresty park and see a tiny waterfall as well. As a bonus there is one of the cutest tram stations I have seen in Germany so far.

A good experience.
Specially the view of the Kassel from top of the monument is breathtaking..
The path is a long one and includes a lot of stairs so you will have to put some effort into climbing. My 5 stars is because I really enjoyed the climb.
It was really crowded on Sunday. The water show happens late, but luckily it happened on the day I visited i.e Sunday.

Paid parking and a crazy amount of steps just to see really various ídols. Wondering if the closed off caverns attracted human sacrifices by certain spiritual groups. Pretty good views though.

Excellent walk in the woods and great view from the top. You can take the bus upwards and walk down with a view. There is some Cafes on the road as well so you can take a break half say down.

Must visit heritage site. You can park and take the shuttle to go up. Your parking ticket includes shuttle to go up and return. But if you wish to walk, you can walk through the park and go up the stairs to reach the Hercules monument and walk down. Or you can do one way by walk and one way by shuttle. Walking down the stairs and down hill is easy and so we opted to take the shuttle to go up and walked our way down to the parking. Check out the timing of water flow and make sure you are at the edge of the park where the water falls after flowing down the steps from the Hercules monument.

All of a sudden trip to this marvelous place in Kassel. The view from the top and the perpendicular Wilhelmshöher Allee is just insane. Visit during the sunset would be recommended. Beware it takes 500+ steps to reach the top of the monument.

A very nice experience. An interesting monument that emerges from the culture in Germany. When asked, many people from Germany did not even know that there was a park like this in Germany. I recommend the tour, but it takes a little more time, because there are also parks and waterfalls that you can visit. It also has a castle. Bring some water and comfortable shoes.

There are great trails for walking and cycling. It is also a very suitable place for a family picnic. The building in the park also looks incredibly majestic. It has a great atmosphere and view. There is also the opportunity to see the city of Kassel from above.
