Great place to visit, very calm and tranquil if you visit on weekday, well kept gardens and fountains. The estate had a special exhibition of porcelain pieces and tableware when I visited (explanation on English was missing for most of the items on display so it was difficult to follow the exhibition)
Very nice souvenir shop where you can buy very interesting pieces like books, soaps, local products etc. Overall excellent place to visit.

I absolutely recommend to visit this beautiful castle, and while you're at it, i really recommend also seeing the Niederweiden Castle. It's not far from Slovakia on feet, or if u wanna take a bike. Some might say that the ticket price is too high, but i think it's really worth it. The gardens are beautiful, you really can see the hard work of all of the staff while looking at the state of the lands and gardens, also there are many animals, that look well taken care of at the farmhouses belonging to the castle SchloßHof. The exhibitions of Sisi and her son were very informative and nicely done, i was really surprised to see that the staff included slovak translations to the main german descriptions and at the start of the exhibitions, you also could find english booklets with the same translations of the whole exhibitions. I would like to also thank all the staff that worked on 28. September, you really made my day even better than it was, from lady at the souvenir shop, the lady at the cash desk, to the lady and mr. Roman who kindly drove us to castle Niederweiden by bus even tho we missed the official time it was supposed to go and then were even willing to arrange a time that worked for us to take us back. Im really sorry I didn't catch all your names but you are the best. All in all, this was a great experience that was worth every last cent i paid for the ticket. Really recommend, you won't regret it.

Place is nice and seems well maintained but we were really disappointed to be honest. Totally overpriced! Outside walk for 2 adults and 2 kids will costs you up to 50 Euros and this is just entrance then be prepared to pay for everything else. Dogs are not welcome, not even small breeds. After this we drove to Lednice Castle in the Southern part of Moravia (Czech Republic) where you have admission free to walk in the garden and dogs were also welcome to walk with us without any problem.

Beautifull palace near Vienna with one of the most astonishing gardens I've ever saw. The palace itself is mostly classic museum with only few rooms traditionally furnished, but the gardens itself are worth the trip. Great fountains and architecture, vivid flowers and as a bonus, you can spot many sqirells in at least one part of the garden, where you can also sit and relax in the shadows of the trees.

Beautiful place for all day Family Trip. Schloss Hoff ist opened every day during the year except 24th of December. You can enjoy the gardens and interior of the castle. In outside you can walk through beautiful garden, you can play with kids on playground and see little animals, horses and camel. There is always clean restroom available all around the place. You can enjoy the meal in restaurant or coffee and cake in coffee shop. Ticket price is 23eur for adults, children up to 6 years are allowed free of charge. For recent info about prices please refer to official website.

Beautiful castle. Entrance fee a little strangely high and strangely priced (21€ entrance +4€ only for a guide). The guide was excellent and we really enjoyed the guided tour. However as it was officially the family tour, I didn’t see it was especially family friendly and parts of the pottery als is not especially interesting. But the castle and the gardens and buildings around are definitely worth a visit!
Stefan Frisch — Google review
Very nice to visit. Plan more than 2 hours, because it is huge and if weather is nice the garden with camel, horses, donkeys etc. and a lot of plants and palms is beautiful for recreation and picnic. You can also visit the castle inside or have a marriage party there. I would consider it especially as a place for kids to run free and have fun while parents can relax with a coffee or beer.
Maybe bring some snacks if you want to safe money.
But you can buy ice cream between 2€-5€. Or a hotdog 🌭 (4,50€). There is also a restaurant named after the white peacock 🦚 living there. You can order local Austrian food and perfect coffee.
Entrance is a bit expensive. To keep the Areal so nice costs a lot. If you do not live too far away you should consider if a ticket for one year. You can use it use it also for special events like Easter or Christmas market and Halloween in the garden labyrinth (not too spooky for kids, but a small adventure).

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

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

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

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

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

The Fire Tower is a noteworthy historical structure in Sopron, constructed during the 13th century. Its spiral staircase, consisting of approximately 200 steps, leads up to a balcony that offers panoramic views of the town and surrounding countryside. Once utilized as an observation post for spotting fires, it now serves as a popular tourist attraction with an entry fee of around 1200 HUF per adult. The ascent to the top may involve some caution due to narrow stairs.
City on the palm of your hand, spectacular scenery, view fabulous, museum is full of beautiful artefacts... Certainly worth visiting

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

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

Belvedere Palace is a museum in Vienna, Austria that contains a wide range of art from the Middle Ages to today. The collection has particular importance for its holdings of Gustav Klimt paintings, which are some of the most beautiful and iconic works in the whole of Austria. The palace and its gardens make for a lovely place to spend an afternoon, and it's worth visiting if you're interested in Austrian art.
This is a must visit location in Vienna! The gardens are stunning in their elegance and memories of a bygone age abound in the architecture and layout.
The views of the hills around Vienna are wonderful.
You have beautiful water fountains to calm body and mind, and there's a lovely cafe at the Upper Belvedere where you can sit indoors / outdoors and relax whilst contemplating life in Vienna.
In addition, last, but certainly not least, you have the Gustav Klimt exhibition and the palace itself.
Time well spent, I'd say!
Catriona McMichael — Google review
The complex of palaces and gardens Belvedere is just a masterpiece. Two palaces (upper and lower), a complex of fountains, landscape design, a huge square. Therefore, this place is always crowded. Gorgeous art exposition of Gustav Klimt, including his most famous works. If you decide to see the palaces from the inside and see a collection of paintings, then it is better to take tickets online (the difference is noticeable). On Belvedere it is necessary to have at least 5-6 hours. It's worth to see it by own
The buildings look amazing as well as the garden. Sculptures and fountains located along the paths are pleasing to the eyes.

Book online in advance ! we were lucky to get tickets close to the time we were there otherwise would have had to come back later. Saw ‘The Kiss,’ amazing! Beautiful interior to the building- and lots of signs to tell you the history of the rooms as well as the art.
Bella Riccio — Google review
*Note, I didn’t go into the Museum. This is about the gardens. I didn’t feel like going to see “The Kiss” which is the main reason you go to this Museum.
The gardens are absolutely spectacular. All three levels of them. The bottom level is fun to kind of walk through the hedges and find a little spots. Some of them have sculptures and some of them just have park benches but you don’t know till you enter. The two main fountains are beautiful and super picturesque one side you can see the beautiful palace on the other side you can see Vienna making both sides beautiful in different ways. You can easy spend a good 2 hours just walking and enjoying the gardens

My visit to Belvedere Castle in Vienna was a captivating journey through both art and history. This splendid palace, with its magnificent architecture and stunning gardens, is a true gem in the heart of the city.
The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the incredible collection of art housed within the castle. The Upper Belvedere, in particular, showcases an array of masterpieces, including works by Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. These paintings are not only artistically significant but also culturally and historically important.
The beautiful gardens, with their meticulously landscaped design, provided a serene backdrop for the castle. The views of Vienna from the terraces were absolutely breathtaking, making it a picture-perfect spot.
The staff at Belvedere Castle were informative and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply seeking a taste of Austrian culture and history, a visit to Belvedere Castle is a must. It's a cultural treasure trove that offers an unforgettable and visually stunning journey. I highly recommend it to anyone exploring Vienna.
Eduardo Rukos — Google review
Absolutely stunning palace. If you are short on time, do just the upper palace. Keep in mind entry is per the time given for your ticket. They don't take you in early and only give you a 20 minute window if you are delayed. The exhibitions are on three levels and it takes at least an hour to see each of them properly, 90 minutes for each level if you want to do justice to the beautiful paintings, sculptures and the rooms of the palace. The lower level has medieval and modern art if that's your thing. The gardens between the palaces are lovely too.

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

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

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

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

The palace is really beautiful, and the gardens around it are nicely designed for a pleasant walk. They've arranged everything well. Just remember to check when the palace is open before you go.

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

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

This was a stunning museum I would really recommend visiting. Getting tickets online in advance is preferable however if you don’t you can have a lovely stroll around the gardens outside.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I loved the Palace itself, it’s so gorgeous it’s actually a little overwhelming. The view is breathtaking to the point I felt like I was not paying enough attention to the art displayed inside.
This is one of the best, if not the best overall museum I have ever been to. Unfortunately my visit has been a bit tainted by the way I was greeted at the entrance. I was told to use the lockers on the left hand side, to my surprise those required a €2 coin to be inserted, which I did not have so started panicking a little, understandably - this visit was the highlight of my trip and having spent close to 8 hours travelling to Vienna, tiredness started catching up to me. I saw no mention of this on the website. In fact, I checked the FAQ prior to my visit as I contemplated heading to the hotel first, having been on the move since I arrived in Vienna earlier in the morning. For those interested, from Belvedere website: Yes, you will find lockers, free of charge, at all Belvedere locations.
How come was I directed to paid lockers? I can only imagine this was an attempt to get even more money from those visiting. Extremely disappointing and distasteful. I eventually headed to the cloakroom, where I was able to leave my backpack indeed free of charge.
I am the kind of person who always visits the museum gift shops to have something to bring back the memories, however on this occasion I decided not to purchase anything, purely because of the locker situation.
The Gothic cathedral St. Stephan's Cathedral is located in the heart of Vienna and boasts an ornate spire, catacombs, and a treasury museum. It is a popular Instagram spot for panoramas of the cityscape from either the tower or the outside.
Very very stunning church in the heart of the city. Made it there during mass in the evening, but will definitely be going back today to get the feel of the place during the day.
Amazing architecture from both inside and outside. It’s jaw dropping. And it has such an amazing/positive/calming energy.
The is no entrance fee to the church itself but if you wanna climb the tower and its 300+ steps or to see the catacombs you need to pay. Will add an update after I do the tours today.

Totally worth visiting it's free to enter. We visited in the evening and it was almost empty likely because tour groups go in the morning. The amazing detail in these buildings is always amazing and something worth experiencing. You can enjoy it inside and out.

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

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

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

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

This is a must see for Vienna! The architecture is stunning. Once you’re inside the cathedral it is totally majestic and grand. My 69 yo father and I climbed Stephansdom South Tower - 343 steps in total. The views from the top were grand. Highly recommend!

St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna is a majestic masterpiece that truly captures the essence of the city's rich history and architectural grandeur. The awe-inspiring spires and intricate details make it a must-visit landmark. The interior is equally impressive, with stunning stained glass windows and ornate decor. Whether you're drawn to its religious significance or appreciate remarkable craftsmanship, St. Stephen's Cathedral stands as a symbol of Vienna's cultural and spiritual heritage. A visit to this iconic site is a journey through time, offering a glimpse into the heart of Vienna's enchanting past.

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

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

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

Amazing cathedral! This cathedral is one of the highlights of the city. The exterior is very beautiful (especially the Eagle on the roof) and interior is also really impressive. Going inside is free of charge but if you want to go further or to the catacombs there is a charge.

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

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

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

Wow. I'll be yet another person to add a 5* review to this magnificent church! Stunning in its exterior, the beauty manages to extend to its interior. We made it during a mass which was great to experience and then visited again in the evening. Let the pictures speak as opposed to my review, and in reality, if you're in Vienna you're probably going to visit :)
Ultimately, my only gripe is that they only accept cash for tours.
Joe T — Google review
The church is beautiful! A must see in Vienna. I like that they have divided their tour into sections and prices and you can buy an all inclusive or just buy the ones that you want. We bought the cathedral and catacombs. Cathedral has a QR code tour on your phone that is very informative. The catacombs were amazing and a little scary. Must see. We wanted to go to treasury too but the timings didn’t work for us. Do check opening times because they seem to open and close for visitors throughout the day/week, depending on services and mass.

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

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

Amazing gothic cathedral. The main cathedral in Vienna.
You can get an all inclusive ticket for 25€ to go up both towers, the museum and the catacombs or it's about 7€ for each thing individually. We just visited the catacombs as my husband had been up the tower previously. The catacombs are well worth the visit! The tour guide we had was very good. The tour was done in both German and English and very informative and the tour guide was very charismatic.
Caitlin Broadhurst — Google review
The construction began in 1137 and completed in 1578, however due to circumstances such as fire and WW2, it needs to renovate or reconstruct until to this time.
Anyway, this century old cathedral is one of the marvelous I've ever seen.
It is an iconic tourist spot located in the heart of Vienna.
The interior and exterior are jaw-dropping.
It is a free entrance and yet a long queue especially in the afternoon.
There is a portion inside the cathedral to purchase ticket entrance.
During my visit, a throng of people passes by and you can't concentrate nor roaming around.
It was such an honor to see, feel and experience a hundred centuries structural buildings.
Recommendable tourist spot but I prefer you to come here as early in the morning to avoid people.

St. Stephen's Cathedral, or Stephansdom, is a stunning Gothic masterpiece situated in the heart of Vienna. Construction began in the 12th century, and the cathedral has undergone various modifications and expansions over the centuries. Its iconic spire, reaching over 136 meters (446 feet) high, dominates the city skyline. The cathedral's interior is equally impressive, with intricate stained glass windows, majestic altars, and a beautifully crafted pulpit. St. Stephen's Cathedral is not only a significant religious site but also a symbol of Vienna's rich history and cultural heritage.
The historic city center of Vienna, known as Historisches Zentrum von Wien, is a magnificent sight filled with elegant buildings, baroque castles and parks. The 19th-century Ringstrasse boulevard is the highlight of the area with numerous incredible buildings adorned with fascinating designs, carvings and statues. The location is exceptionally clean but can be overcrowded during holidays making it difficult for taxis and cars to pass through.
A truly beautiful sight. There are several buildings in this location. All with amazing and intriguing designs, statues, patterns and carvings. The area is very clean. Taking pics and stopping to admire can be uncomfortable as the area is extremely busy(as it should be). So better go in the morning or early afternoon on weekdays. During holidays, the area is decorated beautifully. Taxis and cars will find it difficult to pass the streets here due to excess pedestrians. All in all, amazing place, definitely a most visit when you are in Vienna.

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

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

Cultural landmark, unique cultural heritage building, amazing cultural ornaments and colors,, even from inside you will find a great work
The Hofburg, originally an imperial palace and now home to the Austrian president, is a vast and ornate baroque structure with extensive interiors. It features elaborate marble foyers and hallways, as well as lavish living quarters for the Austrian monarchy. The Kaiserappartements, once the official living quarters of Franz Josef and Empress Elisabeth, are especially stunning in their chandelier-lit opulence.
If you want to know more about the young Empress Sisi who has fascinated everyone, this is the museum you should not miss. We did the full ticket with audio guide and silver collection. The guide is well done and everything it explains is interesting, the silver collection is cool you see the ostentatiousness live of royalty but a quick look is enough. You can see the Empress's dresses and all the rooms preserved and decorated with the style of the time, her office, bathroom etc ... the truth is that it is worth it and interesting.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So many amazing buildings in Vienna, but this is one of my favorites. It is simply overwhelming when you see it in person. Impossible to capture its awe with pictures, must be seen to be believed. I didn’t do the tours inside as I had a busy schedule, but I’m sure the inside is as beautiful as the outside. A must see in Vienna!
Schönbrunn Palace is an important and popular tourist destination in Vienna,Austria. The exterior of the castle is brightly painted yellow and its gardens are meticulously maintained. Within the palace walls are many ornate ceremonial rooms, including a world-famous rococo maze.
Beautiful palace. Great place to visit during the summers to enjoy the enormous gardens and grounds surrounding of the palace. The sculptures and fountains designed are stunning. From the topmost point it has a great view of the city. The garden is enormous even for a quick walk it would take hours. The trees are arranged in a maze like structure and there are zoos and greenhouses inside along with a Japanese garden. Would recommend 🌻

An Austrian palace with big gardens, rose garden and a botanic garden. Easy to get using public transportation.
I took the 22 rooms self-tour (Imperial, 18€), and got audio guide included. Most of the rooms are not special or beautiful, the last 4-5 are the interesting rooms.
If you have 2-3 free hours, it can be nice (but not a must). I was on February and the plants are in hibernation. I believe the gardens are beautiful on the spring / summer.

A superb palace in every way, very well designed. The yard is huge where you can spend the whole day without realizing the notion of time.
Unfortunately, I didn't have tickets to view the interior of the palace, but I am firmly convinced that it is worth to se it.

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

But we came back the other day and tickets were still available, which was amazing! So you can come back anytime and finish your tour the other day :)

Beautiful palace .. fantastic tourist attraction in Vienna. The palace looks stunning in the night lights. The inside tour of the palace is nice. Photos are not allowed inside the palace. All the antique items and treasures of the palace are preserved very well. Great place to visit. Such a long area of the whole place. It might even take a full day to see the complete palace. The palace viewing tickets are sold here. A bit expensive though. Tickets are also sold to cover the half side of the palace only at half price. A lot of souvenir items are sold at the exit. The Christmas market is held here in the grounds of the palace during Christmas time.

The palace was amazing. There was a handheld small device which provides audio guide throughout your tour in the palace and tells you interesting stories of the royals who once lived there. I got the imperial tour which let me toured through most of the rooms but I regret not getting the full tour because the palace was truly magnificent and I would love to see more of it.
I visited the palace on 1st November, which is also a Viennese public holiday - All Saints’ Day. The waiting for 3 hours for me but crowd regulation was really well done. When it was my turn to go in it wasn’t crowded and I actually had the space and time to enjoy every bits of the palace. So try to get tickets prior to arrival and you will not have to wait.
But even if you have to wait there is no worry as you can wander around the garden of the palace like I did (where I took the pictures attached) and walking about the small let me oversee the entire Vienna. The scenery and gardening was amazing.
There was a small castle, which once was the dining of the royals, on the top of the hill and has now been turned into a coffee shop and an observatory. But be noted that you can only go all the way up to the observatory if you have bought the most expensive ticket type. I did not get that so I missed the opportunity to go up.
Overall, I would say this is a must-go when visiting Vienna for the first time. You learn a lot about the local history and can enjoy amazing view. :)

No charge for entry. Cheers big ears

Went late afternoon as was doing other things.
€24 euro for standard ticket which will get you in the palace on a audio tour. Nice tour and some history along with it, about one hour or less to complete.
You can go to the right side of the palace and walk the extensive gardens etc for free, which I didn’t realize initially as some other adjacent gardens you can pay for.
Once you reach the back of the gardens you can go part way up the larger monument, to go to the top for a better view is €5 more. For the view it’s nice.

This place is magnificent. It is free to enter and roam around the vast land area. There is a costly ticket at different prices (depending on which part/s of the palace you wanted to tour) to enter the palace. There is no line when we bought the tickets, but somehow there’s a lot of people freely roaming around the park, only few would buy tickets and enter the palace. Before entering, people need to surrender their personal belongings and get their audio phones for an audio guided tour, with different languages. It would took some time to finish the tour depending on your ticket, but the cheapest would be around 30 minutes to finish the tour. It’s not really time bounded as it depends how fast or slow you pace across rooms. Photography and filming are generally not allowed, one needs a permit for such activity inside the palace. There are souvenir shops at the ticketing area, at the end of each guided tour of the palace. Overall, it was a great experience.
For tourists who does not know the history of Austria, they may not find the guided tour fulfilling so I may suggest to read some history facts about Austria and Europe, in general, or just roam and take pictures around the park and the garden for free.

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

Beautiful gardens. Took a tour inside. Packed with historical furnishings art and facts.
As we visited on the run-up to Christmas, we were lucky to have the Christmas market there, too. Well, it's worth a visit. There is a lot to see.

This is a very beautiful castle with fantastic gardens. You will need several hours to spend time here and will definitely be rewarded for photography efforts as there is very nice contrast to use. The souvenir shop was one of the better ones and had several unique items to purchase. Just be prepared, these places, including this one, definitely aren't cheap with merchandise. It is still a place worthwhile to visit, and I recommend it to others.
Kirsten van der Merwe — Google review
A must for visiting Vienna. Manicured gardens and a well narrated prerecorded tour of the residence. Plan for timed tickets with a 60 to 90 min wait after purchase which is enough time to walk the grounds. Tours can be a bit crowded, but worth it! Bring cash to use the bathroom at the entrance.
Daniel White — Google review
Although I never got to see the inside, I enjoyed the grounds and the lovely Easter Market they had outside. My visit to the palace was tater spontaneous and hadn’t purchased a ticket online. Upon arrival, we found that there was over a three hour wait to enter the palace once the tickets were purchased. Highly recommend you purchase that golden ticket in advance to save you the wait.

Besides the great museum, the garden and trails are amazingly beautiful and well maintained. A perfect place to spend the day with family and friends or for a solo relaxing walk. The cafe is also very nice and the scenic view of town is spectacular!

It’s free to enjoy the grounds, which are extensive and beautiful. The Palace tour has 3 options - we took the longest (e29 per person) - which are all audio tapes. They move you through fairly quickly. Luckily it was not too busy as we visited in winter.
Lots of souvenir shops and cafes.
We made the climb up to Glorietta which truly has amazing views.

A wonderful piece of history!
Take the time to stroll around in the splendid gardens, imagine yourself in the shoes of the Impress just for a moment.
We came early in spring, we recommend visiting when all has blossomed to appreciate the beauty of the gardens, late spring / early summer.
Othman HACIANE — Google review
If you wish to do the full tour probably best to book in advance. We managed to do the basic entry state rooms tour without delay but it was a 2hr wait otherwise, this bit really doesn't take long to view.
That said seeing the actual external architecture & vast grounds was the best bit and that's free to enjoy.
Mark Derrick — Google review
For the palace it’s a very huge palace with so many rooms. Each room had their own story and design. Beautifully decorated, with different color and furniture also the artwork in every room. I recommend to took a longer tour, so you can get to see the whole palace plus the audio guide provided insightful information.
For the other part of the palace they have an enormous size of garden. The garden are free to enter except some like the orangery or the maze. We spent a few hours walking around the gardens. I know it would be beautiful in the summer when the flowers are in bloom.
It will be very busy during weekend/public holidays. So make sure to buy the ticket beforehand.
The Wachau Valley is a picturesque and noteworthy ravine featuring terraced vineyards, historic fortresses, and ancient monasteries. It is situated along the Danube River and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Krems an der Donau serves as the gateway to numerous vineyards in the area, and visitors can explore the valley via an easy cycling trail or by taking a boat cruise.
Have now traversed the Wachau Valley 3 times whilst cruising on the Danube, and still spot new sights on every visit, The scenery is magnificent, mountain landscapes, fascinating villages, and castle ruins throughout. A place I will visit again and again. See it whilst cruising with a glass of local wine, then return with a bike to see it in more detail.

A beautiful place with wonderful surroundings will add atmosphere to all travelers.
Our journey took us with passengers from Tokyo, to this wonderful place, on the way to Vienna.
Do you like to travel? What is the best travel choice for you? have you ever traveled with a car and driver?
we encourage you to try it. It is a very convenient way to travel, no transfers like trains or buses, a direct tour with MYTRIPLINE, allows customers to see such wonderful places as WACHAU.
Melk Abbey is a Benedictine abbey above the town of Melk, Lower Austria, Austria, on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Danube river, adjoining the Wachau valley.
The abbey contains the tomb of Saint Coloman of Stockerau and the remains of several members of the House of Babenberg, Austria's first ruling dynasty.
The abbey was founded in 1089 when Leopold II, Margrave of Austria gave one of his castles to Benedictine monks from Lambach Abbey. A monastic school, the Stiftsgymnasium Melk, was founded in the twelfth century, and the monastic library soon became renowned for its extensive manuscript collection.
The monastery's scriptorium was also a major site for the production of manuscripts. In the fifteenth century the abbey became the centre of the Melk Reform movement which reinvigorated the monastic life of Austria and Southern Germany.
We are very pleased that more and more new travelers who want to try our service are coming. Thank you all very much for your support and we will try to increase our services even more so that we are available for you all over Europe with local drivers.

Stift Melk is a splendid Baroque abbey located in Lower Austria, overlooking the River Danube from a rocky outcrop. The towering twin spires and high octagonal dome of the monastery church dominate the complex. The interior is extravagantly decorated with numerous smirking cherubs, gilt twirls, and polished faux marble, creating a dramatic baroque atmosphere.
Very beautiful! Quiet on a Sunday. 1 hour parking was just enough to see Stift Melk and walk down to old town for 10min.
Absolute shame that the inside of a Baroque church is closed off to the general public instead of its art being able to be appreciated by everyone as intended.
James 'Jimi' Doohan — Google review
The Melk Abbey is a must visit in this part of Austria. The public parts of the Abbey can be visited by yourself or in a guided tour that takes you through an exhibition, some state rooms, the impressive library, a terrace and the magnificent church. The exhibition gives information about the order and the abbey in a very thoughtful presentation. The staff is friendly and efficient. The buildings are a marvellous example of baroque architecture at its finest. You can also walk around some very pretty court yards and well maintained period gardens. The entire complex and visitor’s approach is incredibly efficient. There is also a good restaurant on site.

My visit to Melk Abbey was a truly enchanting experience that transported me to a world of architectural grandeur, culture, and spirituality. This iconic Benedictine monastery, perched high above the town of Melk in Austria, is a testament to centuries of history and the enduring power of faith.
Exploring the abbey's stunning interior was like stepping into a treasure trove of art and culture. The library, with its ornate frescoes and impressive collection of books, was a highlight, providing insight into the knowledge and devotion of the monks who lived there.
The abbey church, with its baroque design and intricate details, was a visual masterpiece and a place for quiet contemplation. The frescoes and paintings throughout the abbey added an extra layer of beauty and historical significance.
The abbey's setting, overlooking the Danube River and the picturesque town of Melk, provided not only breathtaking views but also a sense of tranquility and serenity. It's a place where nature and architecture harmoniously coexist.
The staff at Melk Abbey were knowledgeable and welcoming, enriching the overall experience. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an art lover, or simply seeking a moment of reflection, a visit to Melk Abbey is a must. It's a cultural gem that encapsulates the grandeur of Austria's religious heritage and offers a truly enriching journey through time. I highly recommend it to anyone exploring the Wachau region.
Eduardo Rukos — Google review
Melk Abbey is a must-visit. It's beautiful and worth seeing. I recommend going on a sunny day to better appreciate the colors and views. Unfortunately, you can't take photos inside, but it's one of the most stunning churches I've seen, with an equally gorgeous library. Consider taking a guided tour in English, even though it's a quick visit, it's highly recommended.
Judith — Google review
This place is spectacular in every aspect and part. The architecture has great attention to detail and it has been maintained very well.
The church and library are the best part. Inside photos aren't allowed to we didn't take any. The view from top is also amazing, overseeing the Altstadt (old town) and Donau. It is important to follow the noise regulations inside the church.
Everything inside the church was amazing to see.
There are guided tours both in English/German and potentially in some other languages too. If you are visiting solo then try to plan your moving around the abbey in a way to avoid being in same place as the group (gets awkward).
Upon our visit the garden was closed but you wont miss much by not going there. You can read about it on the panorama view terrace though (has some interesting background).
There was ample of parking at the spot. Do not forget to get your card validated at the ticket counter in order to avoid paying for parking.

An truly amazing Abbey. The location is perfect, on top of a hill making it looking more beautiful, big and marvelous. It's difficult to explain with words it's majesty.

The melk abbey reminds me a luxury historical palace. The building is really huge, impressive and decorated. The trip inside is however really short with a little museum of its treasure, the really beautiful library and the amazing church. The church has so many decorations that is almost overwhelming. The ticket is a bit overpriced in my opinion especially because they don’t allow photo in the inside.
Riccardo Gatti — Google review
Visiting this abbey with a river cruise. A beautiful newly renovated entrance garden. Going in with a guided tour, the interior was amazing. The museum showed you some rare artifacts of the abbey. The library contained some of the oldest manuscripts in Europe. Amazingly it is still active and books could be borrowed with permission.
The church was spectacularly decorated. It is still an active abbey with 20+ monks. It is also a private school with ~900 students.
There is also a paranomia view terrace up top the entrance tower above the gift shop. Do not miss it as the view is spectacular.
The visit was amazing and well worth.

Overpriced for what it is. Looks better from the outside than does inside. €13 to go in about 10 rooms, all filled with massive tour groups inconsiderately spreading themselves all over the place. You also "can't take photos" which I have never understood. Why? I've just given you €13 to come inside, everyone takes photos anyway and no one monitors this so why bother?
Jarrod Hunt — Google review
Our tour guide was excellent! She started in the courtyard and gave a great overview of the current happenings at the property. Then we proceed into the museum and they have you walk through the rooms in order. She showed us interesting little details, like the doors in the hallway that feed the large stoves still in each room. The tour goes through the history of the abbey and ends with beautiful photo ops right before the library.

when you enter, it almost seems to see thousands of people and to touch their pain, which we can never even remotely imagine. you can't help but be moved. the first time I took the guided tour in Italian, done very well, fair and accessible price, the guide is local and explains a lot of background that you don't know... he's also very open to questions and encourages you to ask them. highly recommended… the guides in Italian are only in August, this makes me think that we visit Mauthausen few times and this is very sad. Other times I have visited Mauthausen without a guide, even just to think and every time it is a blow to the heart.

A historical place and best for tourists. Mauthausen was the Adolf Hitler concentration camp to be liberated by the Allies. As of January 1945, the camp had over 85,000 prisoners. Around 300,000 people including jews were sentenced to death using poison gas, hanging, shooting and deadly medicine.

As an historian it's difficult to explain how after several visits to concentration camps, it never stops to impress. This is no different. It truly choked me.

Improvements were promised though.

Visiting this place, where so many atrocities were committed was a raw, anger inducing experience. The memorial does not sugar coat history and for someone who grew up in a typically “white-privileged” middle class lifestyle, it was sobering. That humans could visit such evil, for there is no other word that comes remotely close to describing, upon other humans is unbelievable and horrific. An excellent audio phone app in several languages can be downloaded for self-touring. Descriptions of various locations within the camp are provided for tourists. It is also used for Austrian teens as part of their upper school history curriculum.

Cruel part of history, for everyone to see and remember. The site does not charge for parking nor entrance, the signs and the free online audio guide describe what happened, and what must not happen again. You may book a tour if you want to.

This is the third death camp I visit in Europe. Every time it is sick at heart. But I'm sure it is extremely necessary to periodically remind yourself of what happened, what evil a person is capable of and what pain this same person can endure. May peace and love reign in the world one day. ☮️

It was a sad reminder of the holocaust. Two of the ovens used were on display. The barracks that were designed to house 200 people were said to have held 2000. 4 pows to a bunk. It's heart breaking to see what you know was real.
The Pöstlingbergbahn, a historic mountain tramway built in the 19th century, links Linz's central square with the Pöstlingberg district. This transportation system was designed to provide a convenient way for people to travel up and down the hillside while offering spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. The railway features an old-fashioned design, including traditional carriages and wooden seats, that adds to its charm and appeal.

In my opinion, it is good that such places exist because it is difficult sometimes to plan activities for the family that are engaging enough for the small ones.
It is amazing that it was open on a Saturday, despite it being a holiday.
There could be more parking available on the location.
It can be reached by car or by cable 🚡.
There is food available at the location. There is a cool playground in front of the entrance, entry free. Not all personal speaks foreign languages.
All in all, I recommend it. I like it and I think there are not that many things to complain about.

We were skiing in Lipno so decided to go to the treetop walk one afternoon. It was easy to buy the tickets are the lipno info and get the bus right by our hotel (element hotel). The kids enjoyed the different things to do along the walk up but they were most excited about showing me all the different ski slopes they had done with their dad while I was with the baby. It had lovely views. Although it was a nice walk, I did think it was quite expensive for what it was.

What to do when one is tired of all the attractions for tourists available? Take a walk or ride by bus uphill and pay for entrance to see what can be seen from a lookout at such a place. Entrance fee is ridiculously high. Good thing is a nice try to show some bird species living in environment around. I am sure this business plan paid quickly.

There is also souvenir shop at the bottom of the Path. To get close to The Treetop Walkaway you can use Bus or cableway. If you are interested in hikking, it is also possible.

There may be strong winds and a bit of cold, so be prepared.
Tickets are bought in the Cash Desk or in the web. If you register for lipno card, you just need to enter your email in the tickets machine to get a discount. No need for the ticket itself.
We took the cable car and all together it was expensive for a family.
You may park at almost the top in a public place for free and take a walk through the wood and buy tickets in place.
The cable car takes about 20 minutes.
The whole trip is fun and enjoyable.

There is an option to walk but the path is not really walkable. The entrance fee is kinda pricey that make your expectation high. But it is still a nice place to visit when you are in Lipno.

Gmunden is very beautiful and the lake is also wonderful, which is the deepest lake in Austria. You can walk around the lake, listen to the ringing of bells in the main square, shop at the farmers' market, and have coffee with the locals in the coastal restaurants. Parking is paid on weekdays, but with some walking (on a steep road), you can park for free on the "hill".
Definitely one of the top prettiest lakes I have visited. The water is so clear and the surroundings (mountains, trees, old buildings) are so beautiful. Lots of hiking options around

Spectacular!! I've seen a lot of religious architecture but this is one of the best. A must see while in Bavaria. Passau is a nice town to hang around as well.

This is a truly beautiful place! St Stephen's Cathedral is the Roman Catholic cathedral of Vienna, Austria. It is the seat of the archbishop of Vienna and the most important religious building in Austria. St Stephen's Cathedral is a Gothic-style church dating back to the 13th century and stands at the heart of Vienna's historic city center. It is one of the most important Gothic structures in Central Europe and a major tourist attraction in Vienna.

There are 5 separate organs to play by one person at the same time. Excellent organ recital at noon and 5 Euro to enter. No recording allowed, but you can buy cd in the end.

Church is worth a visit. We went to the daily organ Concert but due to inconsiderate people with coughs spreading their germs and the lack of acoustic due to church being renovated we were underwhelmed and left early. Five Euros per person, and tickets are sold from 10am, not earlier behind the church at a little kios.

The church entrance is free and definitely worth visiting this gorgeous cathedral with frescos adorning the numerous ceilings. Be mindful of visiting during church service times. Also, I would highly recommend the organ recitals here ($5/person), which can be purchased in the small courtyard by the main entrance.
This Baroque Church built in 1688, still serving as the seat of the Catholic Bishop of Passau, hosts the largest church organ, with 17,774 pipes and 233 registers, at its initial completion, which is still the largest organ outside the U.S.

Like most church buildings in Bavaria, & Austria, it is crammed with frescos and gilded statues in a lavishly decorated manner; no expense spared. It was a short walk from Danube mooring, but as it was 36c we didn't venture any further. There's a large square in front of the cathedral which is used as a car park. Wheelchair friendly. Free entry.

Super impressive cathedral in the center of a awesome plaza. Story about the cannon ball still lodged in side of church about 4-5 stories up totally got my interest. Roof tiles/shingles are another amazing thing....have never seen anything like it.

The church is a magnificent example of art and architecture. Beautiful art work on the ceilings, and just an amazing piece of architecture. Obviously the renovations at the moment do not do full justice to the building to be appreciated, but notwithstanding, you can clearly get a great sense of the cathedral.
The pipe organ, with its ~17000 pipes, I'm sure is an incredible musical instrument, but the concert we attended, was simply horrid. It sounded like the organist felt obliged to prove there were in fact 17000 pipes. It was a mismash of bits of music, mashed together and some of it was very dark. I personally do not think it showed what a remarkable instrument they have.
If only considering the church, this is a five star place to visit, but the pipe organ pulls it down to only the stars.
Railway transporting passengers on a picturesque ride to the summit of Schafberg Mountain.
Definitely worth doing. Views are amazing from the top. You can buy a one way ticket up and then walk down or buy a round trip. Walking down from the top takes about 3 hours depending on how fast you walk and how much you stop. We had to specify a time for the return but were able to change the time once we got to the top. At the very top is a cafe with outdoor seating. Great 360 views. There are a few pathways to walk around up top. Probably want to plan to spend time to walk around and take pictures or do some light hiking. For a weekday in peak summer it was crowded. Don’t have to buy tickets too far in advance but you might have to wait a couple train times if you do walk up in peak season.

This rail station is Austria's steepest COG railway has been running since 1893 from St. Wolfgang up to the Schafberg. The train takes 35 minutes to cover a total distance of around 6 kilometers, rising around 1200 vertical meters. It is memorable experiences I am sure you will enjoy with your family and friends , the round trip ticket for adult is 47.60 Euro.

The Schafberg Bahn offers an intriguing experience with a scenic trip, but it's advisable to avoid it during the summer. The cabins tend to heat up significantly, reaching uncomfortable temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius, especially since they are packed with passengers. The high price of 50 euros per person for this experience feels steep. However, the panoramic view from the top is breathtaking, featuring a 360-degree perspective. Additionally, there are two restaurants available for refreshment during your visit.

Nice mountain with beautiful views of the valley and lakes around it. Best way to get there is by the steam train, which takes about 35 minutes and run every 20 minutes during peak period (hiking is also an option).

A fun and unique way to get up the mountain.
We went during peak season in August.
We went early to get the first train at 08:50 and to be able to park in the car park right next to it which fills up fast.
Had pre bought tickets online.
Views from top amazing and huge restaurant as well as other food stands.
Love the trains in the bright red, makes for good photos and video of them chugging up and down.
Made the mistake of walking all the way back down 4250 feet. A bit much!

Beautiful ride up the mountain! A bit expensive, but I get why: the train station and the ride up are modern and smooth. We had no issues. Once up, I recommend staying around 2h and maybe do a little hike on the right side of the train station, as you look up the mountain.

Nice experience in a slow-moving train with beautiful scenery along the way. The view at the peak is beautiful. A must-do activity if you are around the region. You won't regret it with the amazing scenery you get at the peak. It's quite pricey as it costs euro 47.6 per adult but it's worth it. Need to book the descending train slot when you buy the tickets.
Jenny Law — Google review
Fun steam train ride of about 35 minutes with amazing views along the way. Our group road the train on a Monday around 11:30 am. We didn’t experience any issues, but the train was fully sold and completely full.
Recommend arriving early enough to be able to pick seats together (especially for larger groups). Also recommend being near the window when possible to get a breeze when it’s available. When our group went, the temperature outside was in the high 70s, but inside the train, it was significantly hotter. These trains have no air-conditioning and little circulation so be aware in the summer months.
Overall, the views were amazing, you won’t be disappointed.

The Best Mountain Train Experience you can have.
Superb views , everything was run professionally and no issues at all with anything .
My suggestion is to make sure you book your tickets online beforehand like we did . For both up and down trips time to suit you.
Makes life a lot easier as you are then guaranteed a seat on the trip time that you selected.
The whole experience was awesomeness at its best !
Rick Williams — Google review
Not for people with health conditions! I was excited to enjoy the view and was expecting that in 2023 society is inclusive and options are offered for visitors that have problems walking or hear problems etc , but I had to learn , just do not go up. I managed to get on the train, but to reach the hotel and restaurant on top , one has to walk ca 1/4 mile steep uphill. If you can not do it, there is really nothing you can enjoy at the train station on top…. Maybe the rest rooms 😢 … otherwise really no. Onside ration for the disabled . Should have read before , but pretty disappointing … enjoy other sides that carry for people that had surgery and can not walk an incline , but do not expect any help or provision … hope they wake up one day and think about society members in wheel chairs or otherwise challenged people … until then never again
Nigel “Markus” M — Google review
Awesomeness all around.
Even the drive to this point was breathtaking.
Price of a round trip is a bit on the higher side. 43 euro per person. But we dont mind that a bit.
It takes around 30 mins for one side. Vintage style travelling. Views around just keep getting better. Might be hard to climb in for people with some difficulty with legs. No arm chair support.
Note: you have to select boarding and returning time before hand. At the counter, they accept card payment too.
In all, if you can, don’t miss it.
There are eateries at the top. But carry some cash.

Yes, the vastness of this facility is a hot mess, but the therapy pools and accessories (jets, fountains, bubbles, etc.) concentrated in the first part of the complex make the initial "Where are we and what are we doing?" shock forgettable after a short time. Lap pool, large river pool, bubble pool and the really nice massage jets pool make this place "something" for everyone. Mature crowd that knows its spa etiquette and has a no-nonsense "we're here for our wellness" attitude is at-home here. The free aquatics classes are nice, albeit a bit easy, bare bones and short for the seasoned water fitness crowd, but the multiple pools with varying temperatures allow one to set one's own program according to need. The staff is friendly and quite helpful, the facilities clean, and the drinking cure water is truly an acquired taste, which means medicinally, it probably does what it's supposed to do...

Attention, if you are a foreigner like me, be aware of this place! Service is just inappropriate. I came for the first time and didnt know any rules of ticket purchase and using of facilities. At the entrance you see a window and there is sitting a witch with the curly red hair who will scream at you and asking stupid question in German like: What you dont understand? You speak russian or chech language? I didnt get why she asked about my native language if she doesn't speak any, except German. Nowhere it's written or told by anyone that I have to keep this ticket card till the time I go out, otherwise I cant do that. Because another woman on this reception offered me to go and find my card in the garbage and then to come back. I come to get relaxation in the swimming pools and become healthy not to stand and argue with staff! If pensioneers come to you, the young generation will never come again it's for sure. Massage therapist was good and the pools. But the rest is killing the wish to come back here. And for god sake make the page with rules of entry and how to get the key for the locker, because young Germans were standing in front of this hell machine and didnt know how to use it.

Overall, it’s a place worth to visit.

Due to the nature of how the Europa Therme came to be the place is a disconnected mess, exploring the whole ground feels like exploring a labyrinth. Further you can basically see how annoyed alot of the staff is, simple, friendly questions are answered with a Visage that makes you feel like they don't want you here, like you're beneath them. The baths themselves were okay.

Altstadt Salzburg, also known as the old town, is a bustling area filled with history and culture. Getreidegasse, a charming pedestrian street, is lined with shops selling traditional costumes and antiques. Visitors can explore Mozart's Birthplace to learn about the composer's early life or visit the Domquartier to see the stunning Salzburg Cathedral and baroque Residence featuring art by renowned artists.

A huge, 11th-century fortress complex on a hilltop with breathtaking views over the city to the Alps is an unforgettable visitor experience. The fortress also offers one of the largest Medieval castles in Europe, with an exhibition space of over 335,000 square feet in 50 buildings.
Great place to visit when in Salzburg. You can walk up but we chose to take the funicular railway, which was fun. We bought the €13 basic ticket which was good value. It gives you return trip on the funicular railway as well as entry into most of the small museums. Museums were wonderful lots of interactive exhibits and easy to understand explanations. Great for kids and adults alike. A must visit when in Salzburg.

Absolutely amazing and a romantic experience! The short train ride up to the castle was fun. The views from the top looking down over this romantic little city was breathtaking. Inside the Fortress were highly interesting exhibitions. Great food and friendly staff. Just perfect for couples and families with children. Can't wait to go back.

Spent our last few hours in Salzburg hiking up to the Fortress. It was a great way to spend the morning. I really enjoyed learning about the centuries of change the fortress went through. I would recommend walking up, so you get a really good idea of why the fortress was so strong. The hill is long and steep. Seeing the three different gates makes a big impression as to the strength of the place.

Amazing views of the area from the fortress. We would have loved to have a bite at one of the restaurants as the views from the tables were stunning especially on such a beautiful when we were there.

On a rainy day, it is still a great option as an ax activity for the day. There are so many museums inside. I would also highly recommend walking the Panorama Tour at the top for a beautiful view of Salzburg. Paying for the Basic ticket to take the funicular to the top, walk the panorama tour, was highly worth it even on a rainy day!

This is an excellent tour with lots to offer for the price you pay to enter. The funicular up the hill is fast and fun. The fortress is in impeccable shape with several interesting museums that catalog the development and use of the fortress from medieval times through WWI. There is even a small puppet museum too. There are great views of Salzburg and the surrounding valley. We had a great time.

A must see if you're visiting Salzburg. Great for adults and kids (I took my 10 and 13 yr old). Definitely get tickets for all areas. It cost us 49 euros for a family of 4 and you get access all areas.
The walk to the top of the prison tower was great! Views were amazing.
The condition this fortress is in, is unbelievably good.
Definitely get the funicular train to the top, it's excellent.
Could do with better sign posting to help you get around better and maybe some more staff on site, so we can ask questions.
Overall, a brilliant experience and well worth doing.

Seeing a true middle ages castle, along with the lifestyle, customs and ruling of it is truly an amazing experience.
The castle features a lot of stuff: from sightseeing at the top of the keep tower, to how peasants were imprisoned in the dungeon and how the castle was built, history around it and a museum.
This has been a big dose of history for me, so for any enthusiasts out there looking to learn a bit of history during their trip, i totally recommend this place.

A place full of history. A castle that was never conquered. Several stages of time and many stages of tools and weapons. The view is amazing and it is very organized.

It is a must see place in Salzburg.

What an amazing medieval castle perched above the city of Salzburg. There's a free guided walking tour in the morning for a bit of history and to get your bearings of the castle.

We used the funicular to get up as it was a very hot day. Great views over the city and an interesting walk around the fortress. We ate at the panorama restaurant at the top of the funicular and the food was delicious. It suddenly became very, very windy just as we sat down to eat which of course, stopped not long after we finished our food!
We had the Salzburg card so admission was free.

An imposing structure that sits proud above Salzburg. We spent a very pleasant hour ambling around the outer portions of the building. We did not try the museums as we were running late, but just walking around was interesting, and they had some fun little diversions around that the kids could try. There were some stunning views across the city to the mountains, and weaving and winding stairs and corridors. We took the funicular railway up and down (which in itself was fun) and added to the experience.

Very different fortress, as big as a village itself. The carriage ride to take us to the castle on top of the mountain was a fun part itself. The original palace goes back to 370 AD.

Loved the ramparts walk, the museums. The view from atop is just breathtaking especially on a clear day. You can see the Alps surrounding Salzburg and a cool view on the city as well.
The fenicular is included in the entry price, so you can ride down to the city after the visit.
I recommend hiking up, using the trails from the north side.

This is a must if you're visiting Salzburg. The fortress is one of the most characteristic places in the city.
It is very well preserved, with a lot of museums and rooms to visit. It also offers an amazing view above the city.
I really enjoyed the many snippets and videos scattered around the place. They provided a lot of historical anecdotes and gave us some glimpses of life back in the middle ages.
You can reach the fortress with a funicular or on foot. I recommend walking up there only if you have the endurance for it. The trail is quite steep at times.
I also recommend booking the tickets in advance online. There are always a lot of people going there and having already the tickets drastically reduces the wait in line.

Easy to spend 1.5-2 hours here. The views are spectacular, and museums mostly good.
State Rooms: They are beautiful (particularly ceilings and walls), but I hadn’t realized there were only 3 rooms to see. Interesting but only took 5 minutes to see.
Main museum: An interesting mix of general history and historical life, but found the super basic English signs to be distracting. (They sound as if they were written for 5 or 6 year olds.)
Regimental Museum: An interesting 6-8 rooms on military history in Salzburg given the regiment based there, particularly focusing on 1800-1918.
Marionette museum: Two rooms with about puppets with signs in English, German, and Italian. Cute but in and out in 5 minutes.
Purchasing tickets is easy either online or in person, the this ticket will need to be scanned before entering the funicular and various museums at the top.
Toilets were quite clean in/near museums.
Cafe: Service wasn’t great whilst waiting but nice to have option.

This castle is beautiful enough to be said to be artistic. We can not only know the architecture of that time, but we can also know the culture of that time by seeing the castle and the building of castle. We can enjoy a meal, looking at the downtown of Salzburg from the restaurant in the castle. I recommend that you enjoy it with enough time.
Salzburg Cathedral is a large, ornate Baroque-style church that is known for its 5 pipe organs, medieval font where Mozart was baptized, and majestic facade. Salzburg Cathedral is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Salzburg and is located in the heart of the city.

Stunning and beautiful place, the artwork throughout is wonderful. If you have an interest in architecture and/art, then visit this Cathedral. However, our second visit was to enjoy the well advertised 30 minute Midday Music session for just 6 Euros per person, and unfortunately, it was a disappointment. The idea is to demonstrate the many organs (5) culminating in the massive main organ. The religious readings far exceeded the music, and only about 10 minutes was actually played. We like HUNDREDS of others who attended did not seem that impressed. Shame, it was good while I lasted.

A masterpiece of Baroque architecture, the Salzburg Cathedral stands as a testament to the city's rich religious heritage. With its majestic façade, awe-inspiring dome, and ornate interior adorned with works by renowned artists like Johann Michael Rottmayr, this sacred edifice offers a glimpse into the region's cultural and artistic legacy.
Tips: Arrive early to avoid crowds and ensure a peaceful visit. Don't miss the opportunity to climb the tower for a stunning panoramic view of Salzburg. Consider attending a classical music concert held within the cathedral to experience the venue's remarkable acoustics.

La cathédrale Saint-Rupert de Salzbourg est de style baroque.
C'est dans cette cathédrale qu'a eu lieu le baptême de Mozart.
La voûte est très haute et l'entrée est impressionnante. L'édifice a subi un bombardement en 1944 et la reconstruction, même réussie, ne passe pas totalement inaperçue.
Néanmoins Ia visite s'impose lorsque l'on visite le centre de Salzbourg.

The St. Rupert Cathedral in Salzburg is Baroque in style.
It was in this cathedral that Mozart’s baptism took place.

However, the visit is essential when visiting the center of Salzburg.

Salzburg cathedral offers the city's religious and artistic heritage. This Baroque architecture has inspiring interior that evokes a sense of reverence. It is known for its historical significance. It gives you an outlook of the city's legacy faith and art aesthetic.

The cathedral is beautiful, with very exquisite ceilings and an unusual four organs in the four column corners up front. The crypt is ok though not tons to see. I wish there was a little more information or history around given the €5 entry, but is still probably worth a stop if in Salzburg.

One of the highlights of Salzburg, the cathedral is glorious although not quite in the highest tier of Catholic cathedrals. Never the less, if you're in Salzburg there is absolutely no excuse not to visit and spend the better part of an hour taking in the neoclassical splendour. The line for entry can get rather long - I popped into the nearby Franziskanerkirche for a while and came back a half hour later and it was shorter. Still, I doubt you're going to get in without some line.

Salzburg Cathedral, also known as Dom zu Salzburg, is a majestic symbol of architectural beauty and religious significance in the heart of Salzburg, Austria. As you approach its grand façade, you're immediately struck by the awe-inspiring presence of this historic landmark. The interior is equally breathtaking, with ornate decorations, magnificent frescoes, and stunning stained glass windows that fill the space with light and color. Whether you're admiring the intricate details of the Baroque architecture or attending a service to experience the uplifting music and spiritual atmosphere, Salzburg Cathedral offers a profound sense of reverence and wonder. As one of the city's most iconic attractions, it's a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Salzburg's rich cultural heritage and timeless beauty.

Great ornated cathedral well worth the entry fee. Come at noon for an organ concert from some of their 7 organs. Also get a good history of the cathedral
Mirabell Palace is a baroque palace in the Neustadt district of Salzburg, Austria. The site is notable for its Sound of Music scenes and its gardens which feature a famous fountain decorated with the wings of Pegasus.
Just wow! This place is truly gorgeous!! I strongly believe indeed it is the most beautiful monument you can find in Salzburg! I don't know if you can access the palace itself, but even just the garden is truly spectacul! What I couldn't really understand, since you have to pay to access the other monuments in the city, this one is completely FREE...
Andrea Nori — Google review
We only briefly walked through the gardens here bit it was still quite a beautiful spot. If you've got time in Salzburg then definitely go visit, but if you're limited on time don't worry about missing it. On the plus side it's on the way to the fortress from the train station, so don't use the tram, walk through the gardens here instead, it's not a long walk.
matt knight — Google review
Such a beauty in Salzburg, situated between other tourist attractions plus you don’t need a ticket to check on the garden. I am also lucky it is just a few steps from my hotel.
Ykenn Padalla — Google review
Even in early spring, the gardens are well cared for and beautifully maintained. The view from the palace toward the fortress is an iconic shot you must get in Salzburg. The dwarf gardens are a fun and quirky little side visit off the side of the gardens that bring out the silly in just about everyone.
Kirk Chugg — Google review
The palace garden is beautiful, and very big. There are plenty of hidden areas so make sure you don't miss anything, because it is worth it! My favourite part was a botanical room with turtles and birds in it. You'll know you're near if you hear the birds chirping.

Lovely garden and nice views of the fortress. It would have been nice to get some more information about the palace and different buildings, but definitely recommend having lunch in one of the gardens. Just lovely to sit outside and enjoy the views.

When visiting Salzburg, my wife and I first walked to the beautiful gardens, from where there is a beautiful view of the castle. The gardens are magnificent in June, when we visited them, the vegetation and flowers were beautiful.
The Mirabell manor with all its outbuildings and garden monuments is on the UNESCO list as the Historic Center of the City of Salzburg.

A must see in Salzburg. An awesome park to relax, spend a lazy afternoon and try to have a sandwich/picnic while you do people watching. Expect a lot of tourist. Spend time walking around the park. It huge & has a gnome garden. If you have time watch a Mozart concert at the marble hall. It is really work it

Didn't go inside as this wasn't part of the Salzburg Card but the grounds even in winter were amazing. The views to the fortress are stunning. Will have to go back in summer when the flowers are out and the fountains working!!

Mirabell Palace in Salzburg is a UNESCO World heritage site. The "Sound of Music" was filmed here which featured important classics such as "Do-Re-Mi". Its gardens were unfortunately not in full bloom during the beginning of spring.
Trisha Lim — Google review
Not quite the best palace of them all. Didnt go inside as it all seemed closed. The gardens outside were well kept but uninspiring. I suspect this was simply due to it being Feburary.
It was worth the slight detour on the way to old town.
Salzburg and area has alot of beatuful building but not sure that this needs to be at the top of your list.

Absolutely gorgeous gardens. The entry to the palace and gardens are free. I went on Sunday and couldn't access the palace. However I had been to concert a day earlier and got to see the staircase and marble room which were nice.
The highlight was the garden. It was beautifully done. The sound of music was shot here so special significance. Try to get there as soon as it opens to avoid crowds

Beautiful well maintained gardens! For sound of music lovers this must be your first stop.
Very colourful gardens but amazing backdrop with the city views & cathedral buildings. Free entry.
Only downside is you have to pay 50c for the toilet, I don't understand why it's not free.
Rauschberg is a 1,671-meter mountain in Germany that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Alps. Visitors can easily access the summit via a cable car, where they can enjoy the stunning scenery and explore easy walking trails. The area also features cozy mountain restaurants and opportunities for hiking. The journey to the top on the gondola provides an exhilarating experience as it ascends along the rocks.

(Translated by Google) Very nice as a half day trip. When the weather is nice you have a great view from Lake Chiemsee to the main ridge of the Alps. We have been up there many times, also because travel is free with the Chiemgau card. The steep journey with the gondola along the rocks is also an experience. At the top there is a viewing platform right next to the station. We also recommend hiking for 20 minutes to the actual summit.
(Original)
Sehr schön als Halbtagsausflug. Bei schönem Wetter hat man super Sicht vom Chiemsee bis zum Hauptkamm der Alpen. Wir waren schon oft oben, auch weil die Fahrt mit der Chiemgau Karte kostenlos ist. Auch die steile Anfahrt mit der Gondel an den Felsen entlang ist ein Erlebnis. Oben gibt es gleich neben der Station eine Aussichtsplattform. Zu empfehlen ist aber auch noch 20min zum eigentlichen Gipfel zu wandern.

The Herrenchiemsee New Palace is a grand structure located on the island of Herreninsel in Bavaria. Built in 1878 and modeled after the Versailles palace, it was created as a tribute to absolutist monarchy. Ludwig II, its founder, spent very little time here and made it more as an expression of his romantic ideas and imagination than as a residence. The palace's design reflects Ludwigs' obsessions with romanticism while being typical of his creations.
It was a very beautiful environment, quiet nomatter the population.
The Kids are So happy going to see the King's bedroom ☺️, unfortunately i couldn't go in because my other two Kids aren't up to 5yrs i stayed out and it was so much fun staying out too.

Visit here around end of july 2022. Beautiful palace and gardens, 25 min walk or 15 min horse drawn carriage ride from boat. Museum for Ludwig II inside the palace. Also a nice restaurant. I love the castle and it’s worth visiting. Even just walking around outside in the park is amazing.
The walk from the ferry dock was not strenuous but on a warm day could leave one sweating. There is an ice cream stand near the end of the trail for those needing a cool indulgence.
The palace is rich with history, you will enjoy it with a guided tour. The cafe offers varieties of drinks with limited food selection. The fountains in front of the palace and sculptures in and around the palace are impressive and you can stand and admire for longer time.

A breathtaking incomplete palace constructed by Ludwig the second in the middle of a scenic lake. I highly recommend paying the 3€ for the carriage ride from the ferry, it really added to the whole experience of arriving at the gardens

From the ticket counters it takes good 15-20 minutes walk to reach the palace and horse carriage service is also available for € 3.5 to reach palace, from Ticket counter.
Over all a good experience.

They say the journey is more exciting than the destination, Neues Schloss Herrenchiemsee is an ideal example. It starts with a boat ride beside Chiemsee Lake with crystal blue water. You can take your boat to reach the destination and enjoy the scenic view of a dream house and the islands inside the lake. Once you reach the castle don't get astounded by the beautiful sculptures and exquisite rooms built by King Ludwig 2. Take a ticket to roam inside the castle under guidance and explore the museum inside the same building. Behind the castle, a green lawn bounded by trees narrows down towards the sea assembling an aesthetic view.

The island is great. Lots of alleys for a walk in the nature. You can spot deers. The palace is the highlight of the visit. It is very well maintained. The rooms are fantastic. It is very sad that Ludwig didn't managed to finish all of them. You should definitely visit it. They have a translated leaflet for all languages.

Boat return ticket to the island is 10€ per person or 27€ for the family of four. Additionally, the castle ticket which you can buy on the island is 10€ per person for a guided tour. It was all worth it as the place and the surroundings are incredible. There is a café and a restaurant inside the castle to have a break after the tour.

Great place to visit for a few hours to see the palace and the grounds or a full day if you also want to stroll around the island. The ferry ride to and from the island is decently quick, and the palace tour, which we did not do, is around 40 minutes or so. The grounds are beautifully maintained and peaceful, and the fountains run on a timer about every 15 or so minutes, so it is worth taking your time to enjoy the scenery.

One day is not enough if you want to combine it with a big walk. We will definitely go again because we want to enjoy and relax around Herrenkimsee, for the other island another trip😆 Check how long the museum tickets are valid and don't throw them away, and visit the island when the fountains are working, it's probably very beautiful

✨✨✨Cheimsee!!!! AKA…”The Bavarian Sea” …a really amazing surprize to find a truly enormous and lovely lake in the middle of that beautiful mountainous region…so nice to take a hike along its shores…whether in summer …or mid winter as the attached photo of me depicts…always so nice to take a ferry to visit the astounding and gorgeous HERRENCHIEMSEE PALACE…situated on an isle within the lake …commissioned and built by Ludwig of Bavaria …it gives Versailles ( apparently in some ways its inspiration) a run for its money …note when in this beautiful hood…makes sense to take a side trip to also see the fabulous NEU SCHWANSTEIN ( the inspiration for the Walt Disney castle btw)…yet another simply fabulous structure that Ludwig built …and which now continues to delight and amaze all who visit 💯🙏🏻👍🏻☺️✨✨✨
Remember it's a CASH ONLY place.
They don't accept Debit or credit cards.
But the service was quick.
There are basically two kind of Tour one can take using these boats, East and West direction. Most popular being W forest direction tour as it allows you to visit Herrenchiemsee , Gstadt and Fraueninsel.

I visited Chiemsee Lake, that is a beautiful lake located in Bavaria, Germany. It's often referred to as the "Bavarian Sea" due to its size and popularity among tourists and locals alike. The lake is surrounded by picturesque landscapes and is home to two islands, Herreninsel and Fraueninsel, both of which are accessible by boat and offer attractions such as historic palaces and monasteries.

Trausnitz Castle, built in the 13th century, is located on a hill overlooking Landshut. It features a vaulted hall and chapel, as well as a museum showcasing unusual artworks and curiosities. The castle was constructed for the Wittelsbach dukes, with building work commencing in 1204. Visitors can reach the castle via a steep path from Altstadt. Inside, guests can admire the stunning architecture and interiors while enjoying views of the surrounding area.
Not easy to find with the car when you would try to find signs but Google maps can guide you :-)
They have a nice restaurant in the castle (build in 1204) where you also can sit outside and have a great view over the city Landshut.
It’s a beautiful city with a historical center and many different beautiful shops.

Castle that has been the families' seat of the Wittelsbacher for centuries. Unfortunately the majority of historic building substance has been lost due to the fire in 1961. So you can visit the rebuild castle with some saved originals and lots of blank walls.
Overall rather good and a nice place to see. Some beautiful views over the surrounding area are also possible. Pricing is fair (5,50 € / adult).

Extensive parkland area with many animals. So used to human you can feed them from the palm of your hand. Excellent and extensive playground area with many age-appropriate equipment and a wonderful water feature. There’s a lovely ground with seating area for picnic so you can bring your own lunch. The kids loved it so much here we spent the entire day in the park through a snow blizzard. Highly recommended. We will be back for sure.

Amazing place to spend a day "into the wild".
You can see and feed deers and see a lot of other animals.
The show with the eagles, hawks and owls is absolutely amazing!
Sunday it might be terribly chaotic, mostly to find a parkind place, but once you get in (after 10/15 minutes), you are not able to feel the amount of people in the park (except when you are in the food/playground area).
I haven't rate it with 5 stars as I would expect:
A) More toilets in such a huge place. Mostly for kids.
B) More spaces were to eat without being under the sun.
C) Tables and sits might need to be renewed.

This place was a brilliant place to spend the morning. My daughter of 2.5 loved the free roaming deer, feeding them and the goats.

Amazing wild park! The animals there are kept in good conditions. Deer 🦌 and goats 🐐 are let outside to walk on the same path as the visitors.
The best part is that you can feed the animals!!!
You can buy a decent-sized bag of food at the ticket counter for just 50 cents!
But it’s better to buy food at vending machines there. It costs the same, but the animals like it better.

Our family loves this park and we try to visit at least once or twice a year. The animals are lovely and well taken care of. The children enjoy feeding them and exploring this huge variety of wildlife. You can find bears, goats, nutria, bison, wild boar etc… The deer and mouflons come really close and eat from the hand.
The playgrounds are huge and offer lots of variety. There are slides, swings, a huge fort and a water playground which is great in the summer. From spring to fall there is a bird show which is included in the price.
As already mentioned we love this place and can only recommend it to anyone who loves animals and a nice stroll through the forest.

It is recommended not to wear light-colored shoes, because there is a lot of mud on the trail, which is normal. A spacious area for rest in the shade of trees and children's toys. The bird show is the icing on the cake of this place. Recommendation for all animal lovers to spend their time in this park.
King SiZe — Google review
I really liked visiting it, because you stay in the fresh air, in a beautiful forest, walk there without huge human crowds, and see animals in a great shape, that are not locked in the zoo in cells, not are very free.
It's less expensive than the zoo, it smells better, amazing how birds who could fly away just stay there. Bears, lynes, wild pigs, peacocks, eagles, wolfs! And many goats and deers that just run where visitors go. They also have fish, chicken, cows, buffalos.
High recommendation in winter, when the park is half so full as in summer.
