The exhibition offers an opportunity for visitors to witness these magnificent birds flying very close, sometimes even right next to them. For the best chance at having a bird placed on you, wear a cap and be prepared to take photos quickly. Kids can also enjoy pony rides after the show.
Beautiful show. Kids really enjoyed it.
Birds are flying very close, sometimes next to you.
If you want to get a chance that they put a bird on you - wear a cap. And be ready to take pictures - it is just few seconds.
Kids can ride a pony after the show.

The show was amazing and super engaging. Even though the narrative was only in Italian and German (and I speak neither), it didn’t make it any less fun.
Highly recommended for adults, teenagers, and kids!

I had a lovely time at Falconeria Locarno. The show was very entertaining and the birds seemed well taken care of. The whole place is well kept.
Giovanna Becker — Google review
The show is an amazing experience!! Don't lose that.
The zoo is nice but during the show you have the experience to see all animals flying freely
P.s. come with a hat and you could have a chance to have an eagle landing on you
P.p.s they are pretty friendly

Amazing show. Learned a lot about the history of falconry, and enjoyed the birds from a very near distance (had one even on my head). Highly recommended half day trip! Also, the pizza in the bistro tasted fantastic and was very reasonably priced.

Classic falconeria, if you're looking for a more interactive experience than just your average zoo, this is fantastic. Great performances, horse riding, eagle & owl holding with photos available too, super cool place & a must visit.

Indeed many (large) birds flying around (some even over your head) during the show. Definitely worth attending.
Note it can quite wet in case of rain as tents over tribunes don't do their job well.

The Villa Carlotta museum houses one of the most renowned gardens in Italy. The garden was designed by Gian Battista Sommariva and is a reflection of reason surrounded by its more romantic counterpart, the flashy theater of the following century. The art collection inside the museum is renowned for its many works by famous artists such as Canova, David, and Throvaldsen.
Fantastic villa on the shore of Lake Como with stunning views across the lake from both the museum and the garden. This Villa contains superb gardens and an excellent museum of the villa itself. The museum is large with lots of room to move around. It also has lots of different rooms, art, artifacts and antiques to see but my favourite part was walking around the very large garden.
Well worth a visit
Donald hood — Google review
Brilliant place to visit. They have two routes around the lovely gardens, one not so steep, and one fairly steep. But it was worth it for the views of Lake Como. They have a reasonable cafe, inside and out, with again lovely views. The villa(the museum) was ok
Jan Langford — Google review
Absolutely stunning! As a local even I was impressed by its absolutely beautiful gardens and the villa. The view is incredible and I have already been here several times and will always come back. It’s a 10/10 for me.
Aemilius Prinz — Google review
One of the best gardens I have ever visited! So beautiful and diverse!
Try going in the morning so you have more time exploring as the garden is pretty big. It also has picnic spots so it’s a great place to spend a day on when visiting lake como. Has fantastic lake views, the villa itself is gorgeous, but the garden is a botanical one with many cool plants. Has a bamboo jungle which is magical.
There’s free parking down the villa & there are elevators to take you up in the garden & upper floors of the villa, right outside of the villa in the south.
Absolutely recommend a visit, so worth the price (15€ adults)
Gazella — Google review
One of the biggest and also most beautiful villas in the Lake Como area, with audio guides available and 2 suggested itineraries depending on whether you want a short walk around or a longer stroll in the garden.
Definitely worth the visit, for all ages. It was also made wheelchair-accessible by the gentle slopes and lifts.
Parking available along the road, both free and paid lots.
Li Ze Chai — Google review
Beautiful Villa, beautiful gardens and a lovely walk on a perfect spring day. The cafe and toilets were open. I would recommend 2-3 hours for a leisure walk around the gardens before finishing at the museum (which ends in the villa and gift shop). We parked 400mtrs before reaching the villa in a paid parking place which we were lucky to get some space in. There are some decent restaurants and places to eat walking distance from the villa. There is a ferry stop across the villa and that takes you to Bellagio (another beautiful place which is a must visit).

Ian Peter Atkins — Google review
We loved this place! The garden was amazing with different species from all over the world. So cool that they are able to thrive in Italy due to the microclimates around Lake Como. The villa had beautiful views of the lake and offered many opportunities for great photos. The café inside had a decent selection of food and drinks, although slightly overpriced.
Carmelle Valles — Google review
Love it and hate it:) it was a great walk, very nice and scenic. Very poorly marked trying to exit. You need to really read the map as there is only one exit sign, and it's not at the exit. It is very confusing for most of the people there. Plan on about 4 hrs if you want to do the whole thing. There are signs that say 75 minutes for the full walk, maybe, probably not. Add an extra 30 minutes to find the exit. Think only 3 people work there, so you are on your own. Overall, it's a really great place with poor sinage.
Jim Villano — Google review
Gorgeous house and gardens to visit. Lovely artefacts in the museum and sculptures.
The gardens are set in wonderful grounds, lots of it are not accessible for wheelchair users as it is very up and down.
Wonderful plants and flowers carefully set out with a waterfall running down the hillside. Great views from all angles and photo opportunities.
We visited on a very rainy day but this never spoilt our enjoyment.
Would recommend a half day visit. It has toilets and a coffee shop.
HELEN CLEMENTS — Google review
Beautiful villa with huge well kept garden. It has some old furniture dating back to the old times but also a collection of cutlery and crockery which don’t relate to the families who once lived there. In that respect villa Necchi in Milan is far more interesting. If you visit in the afternoon the sun has turned and you can take beautiful pictures from the balcony of the lake scenery.
Pieter van der Werf — Google review
Increíble villa. Es hermosa.
Fuimos con mi pareja sin entrada y luego de menos de 5 minutos de fila, entramos. El jardín es lo más hermoso que vi. Muy amplio, se tarda 1 hora en poder recorrerlo. Luego el museo esta muy bueno también para conocer como vivian aquellos propietarios de siglos atrás

Incredible villa. Is beautiful.
My partner and I went without a ticket and after less than 5 minutes in line, we entered. The garden is the most beautiful thing I saw. Very spacious, it takes 1 hour to explore it. Then the museum is also very good to know how those owners lived from centuries ago.

One of the most gorgeous villa on the Como lake. Fully suggest to all the tourist in order to spend a lovely afternoon. Best timing is in spring when all the gardens are full of flowers
manuel mandaglio — Google review
A memorable visit with stunning & immaculate gardens, and very well-signposted walking routes throughout the property with different options of different lengths. The house itself was impressive, but the gardens and views of the lake are the reason to visit. Would strongly recommend to anyone in the area!

Beautiful house surrounded by gardens that seem to go on forever. Lovely, well laid out walks, that go from manicured to wild, but always jaw dropping in their beauty. Would love to visit again.
Brendan Rowe — Google review
Villa Carlotta is such a beautiful and peaceful place. The vast garden with the numerous flowers is absolutely breathtaking and the museum (inside of the Villa) is spacious and very lightning. I thought the place was smaller and that the visit would have been shorter but you have to take at least 45 min to 1 hour for the short visit (main garden tour and museum) and 1 hour 30 min to 2 hours for the big visit with all the garden.
It is clean, not too crowdy and I believe that Spring time offers the best images with the colorful flowers and trees everywhere. Don't hesitate !
S?verine M — Google review
The grounds are nice, however not easy to walk with a child and not wheelchair or pushchair friendly.
The main floor of the house is worth a quick visit but the other floors are not. The rooms are tiny and filled with minimal artifacts and furniture.
Worth a visit if in the area but your not missing out on much if you view from the lake.
The gardens are impressive from the Napoleon era.
Shiv P — Google review
The botanical garden is pretty and has some beautiful views. I was expecting to see a little but more, but it was very nice. Definitely wear sneakers, as there are a lot of rocks you will be walking on. It's right next to the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, so it's a very short walk and convenient.

We've been here several times photographing couples and we've always been impressed by the beautiful gardens and the elegant elements of the interiors. It really is a great combo of both. Super easy to reach by car or ferry, quite cheap and with a great number of different backgrounds for pictures. Yes, book your photoshoot here without doubting!

Despite the pouring rain during our visit to Villa Carlotta, the botanical garden's beauty was undiminished, offering a peaceful walk along the 75-minute trail, ending with the museum. The garden was the definite highlight, overshadowing the less impressive museum.

Villa Carlotta Gardens in Lake Como, Italy, is an absolute gem. The lush botanical paradise captivated me with its exquisite beauty. Strolling through the meticulously maintained gardens, I was surrounded by a stunning array of plants, flowers, and ancient trees. The view of Lake Como from the villa's terraces is simply breathtaking, providing a serene backdrop for a leisurely visit.
The historical significance of Villa Carlotta, with its art collection and charming villa, adds depth to the experience. I was particularly moved by the art and sculptures on display, which offered a glimpse into the rich history of this place.
Also nice: doga were allowed to enter the gardens for a nice family walk. The longest red route is about 1 hour.
Michael J. — Google review
Villa Carlotta is a lovely botanical garden with so many different varieties of plants. There is such diversity in the fauna and flora growing here. For example, they have a rhododendron section, a succulent and cactus garden, a fern garden, and so many others. The layout of this garden has been planned by a mastermind., and many walking past throughout the garden. The villa itself has beautiful architecture and art inside. A lovely little oasis right on the waterfront and very close to the water ferry drop off.

Picturesque valley featuring mountain trails with overnight huts & a dam with bungee jumping.
You will be amazed by beauty of the valley with turquoise river running through, old rural villages dotted around. This destination suit both romantics and adventurers, unforgettable!
Natasha Korol — Google review
True, this is a lovely steep mountain valley with a river tumbling through it and the occasional waterfall coming from a side valley. Its easy accessibility brings some spoiles though. There is the rather busy road running all along the valley on or just above the river banks. There are the crowds coming up the valley to see the sights. Then there are the parking lots at the sights-to-see, which fill up quickly during the day. There's only parking at these lots, everything else is private property, which also makes part of the valley floor inaccessible for the general public. A hiking path runs all along the valley, but the road is never far away. The upper part of the valley is more scenic than the lower part, with crowds thinning out after the famous Roman bridge. We appreciated this part of the valley best. Sonogne at the head of the valley is beautifully situated and a good place for walks in a less spoiled atmosphere. An overnight stay at Familienhotel Campagna just before the end of the valley is recommended, nice scenery, good food and very friendly owners.

A wonderful place. Great for a short and cold swim. There are also very nice hiking roots. The water is freezing year-round.
Next to the main parking area there’s an amazing old bridge crossing the stream, and some great pools. There are also more shallow places where children can go inside.

The botanical garden of Villa Melzi d'Eril is a beautiful place with statues, lakeside paths, and a villa on the grounds. It is a great place to visit if you are interested in plants and flowers.
It was named the most beautiful garden of Italy in 2016 and it deserve the label. It is a must do in Bellagio.
Such a beautiful, peaceful place.
The view is simply stunning.
There is a museum.
Plants have labels to identify their names and origins.

Wedding photographer's perspective: We've shot here a couple of pre weddings sessions and it has always been a beautiful experience. The architecture of this villa is a great frame for elegant pictures and the gardens are simply a paradise on earth. They are super wide so that even if the location is crowded it's still possible to find private spots for photography. The light at sunset here makes everything magical and cinematic. Our couples have always loved exploring this villa. The fee for shooting here is one of the cheapest on the lake, making choosing Villa Melzi an obvious choice 10/10!!

Villa Melzi is one of the highlights of lake como.
Inside here you can find manicured and beautiful lawns; a chapel at the end of the garden, the villa itself with unique symmetry architecture, and a small anti-aquarium house.
The villa’s beauty will strike at your heart with its beauty.
The villa has an interesting history; especially on its ownership origins till today and is worth a read.
Seen in the attached photos is a map of the villa.
In the chapel are incredibly ornate marble sculptures; seen in the attached video is one example of marble sculpted to look like fabric.

One of the most beautiful places and gardens I’ve seen. It’s clean, the staff is constantly working to keep it gorgeous. Definitely worth a visit. I enjoyed very much taking a walk in the garden.
Victoria K. — Google review
Had such higher expectations but unfortunately was disappointed. It's a nice place with a variety of flower and exotic plants but not much else.
The museum is basically one room with a few statues.
The yard/garden has beautiful views but definitely not worth 8 euros per person. The aquarium is almost non-existent.
It has a few decent buildings, one which is still occupied by a resident.
Overall great for a stroll but not much to see other than different types of trees and plants.
Mostly used by newly-weds for wedding pictures.
DrJ — Google review
The gardens of the Melzi Villa are huge pretty, and actually pretty basic. The number of trees and unique plants is fun, but you're not going to see any elaborate floral arrangements or planting patterns. For example, the Japanese section is an unexpected treat, but the water inside the pond was was very dirty and unwelcoming. I'm not sure €8 is worth the entry price, at least not in August (maybe other months have different plants in season). It takes twenty minutes to walk from the ferry port to the front gate so budget that time into your day. You'll spend maybe a hour in the gardens.
Michael Barton — Google review
Beautifully manicured and well taken care of gardens. The house and chapel are in terrific shape. Wonderful plant and tree specimens throughout. Make sure to bring water as there are no services other than a WC.
Mark LoGiurato — Google review
A very spectacular garden with beautiful landscaping. There are 2 interior buildings which are accessible, the museum and the chapel. The house is closed off which is understandable since it's actually somebody's house. I felt very lucky to be able to see the garden itself.
The museum is interesting and takes you through the ownership of the house over time,.and key events that happened there. It also gave me some perspective on the Napoleonic and Austrian periods.
Arriving here is a short pleasant walk along the promenade from the boat stop, very easy to get to. Set aside at least an hour since even though the garden may not look huge, it's actually pretty big. Bring water. Note that to appreciate many hiddem parts of the gardens you will need to walk up steep hills, but you can still enjoy much of it from the main, flat, walkway.
james muscat — Google review
Beautiful garden area and a lot to explore, there’s a small chapel, a lot of nature, places to take photos and access to the lake near the end. It costed around 8 euros per person and its free for under twelve years old. Definitely a must visit for at least 3 hours (most of the time at the lake and walking) for your day trip to Bellagio to visit Lake Como.
toulan khouqeer — Google review
Garden was nice with a map for all the monuments and trees. 8 euro per person seemed a little high as the place was rather small and didn't offer much to look at except a nice view of the mountains and a couple landmarks on the property. I understand landscaping is a tedious job to maintain a property I just expected more. Not bad but not great
Joe — Google review
Beautiful gardens just on the bank of the lake in Bellagio. The walk and landscape is beautiful. Although they call Villa it is more the view of the lake and the lush gardens are the experience. Typically you walk from one to another and back to Bellagio and can take an hour. The entrance fees are 8€ and free for kids.
The Acquafraggia Waterfalls in Italy are absolutely breathtaking! The pristine natural beauty and the soothing sound of cascading water create a serene and refreshing atmosphere. It's a perfect spot for nature lovers and a must-visit destination for anyone traveling through this picturesque region.

Great waterfalls with fresh cool water and even the air is cool. 3 EUR is the entrance fee but maybe from the other side of the river it is free. You surely will want to go into the water and you can but it is chilly cold. There are parking places around and Chiavenna is quite close. Plus you can make several hiking tours to the higher mountains and one or two mountain villages.

The town of St. Moritz sits on the south side of the lake, offering a charming hillside view and access to an observation deck with breathtaking scenery. On the east bank, there is a large shallow rock beach where visitors can enjoy the cool waters during early summer days.

Was blessed with the amazing view of the alps and the lake on a mid-autumn day adding more color and vibe to the place that felt like a dream.
Best way to travel here is by the train, breath taking views at every stop, most expensive accommodation but worth evey penny. Amazing place for Skiing and hiking. Best to visit during autumn and winters for the spectacular snowy and fall vibes around the lakes and the mountains and not to forget the exquisite architecture here😍 German is the mostly spoken language in this part of the country.

When you visit, st. Moritz, you should definitely visit and walk along the lake. It's very beautiful especially when it's sunny. Also, you can walk one rap around 1 hour or so which is a good distance.

Lake St Moritz
Visited on 21/9/2019
Tour guide told us it would take 30 minutes to walk round the lake, and we believed him.
Most of our travel companions walked less than 15 minutes and returned to Hotel Rein Victoria. There was no way to complete the lake even in one and a quarter hours walking in normal pace.
We saw some colourful mushroom, possibly poisonous. There was also a big squirrel sculpture on a wooden stump.
It is important not to drink too much water, because there are toilets no along the path.

Nestled in Livigno, Carosello 3000 is a renowned skiing area offering a plethora of activities. With its snow park, ski and snowboard slopes, restaurants, and even a nightclub, it's an ideal destination for winter sports enthusiasts. The area boasts good snow conditions from late November to April, making it perfect for an extended ski season.
Beautiful viev, no problems with getting there. Slopes really good for amateurs and others. There is only a little blue slopes but still worth skiing there (:

Fantastic location. Visited in summer time and hiked. Beautiful views all around. Obviously MTB is a major activity, and there are plenty of options.
Very reasonable prices for the cable car which is great. Certainly recommended!

This side of the mountain has more advanced courses compared to Mottolino. All areas are well connected and the views are great. At the top of the cable car there is an awesome restaurant with incredible views, great food and a DJ.

We have been skiing in livigno for 20 years always had a great time. We did have a serious accident in 2010 and I can only say that the international medical centre treated my wife with great care and thanks to them and the hospital in St Moritz we were back on the snow 12 months to the day

Slopes are nice, but people who work there don’t care about the guests at all. My friend’s snowboard was stolen from Carosello and they didn’t want to do anything about it even though person who stole it was recorded by CCTV camera. Insane. So basically everyone can steal there without any consequences. Recommend to be careful about your equipment.

Great parties at Apres ski at bottom station! Anyway Carosello 3000 itself is really modern ski lift and surrounded by great variety of ski slopes.
Mottolino Fun Mountain is a compact ski resort located in Livigno, Italy, offering diverse terrain for winter sports enthusiasts. With 115 kilometers of slopes, it's a premier destination for skiing and snowboarding. During the summer season, the resort transforms into an outdoor playground with cycling trails and picturesque hiking opportunities. The Trepalle Area provides accommodations and easy access to the Mottolino skiing area.
It’s a really nice experience both for beginners and more advanced skiers. The slopes are long and there’s not many icy parts at all. There is a great variety in food in the restaurants to. They also had a crashed plane that you ski to

Great slopes and Apres Ski. Climb up the mountain was never so easy and fun...we got easily the skies and equipment from the shop and 10 min after skiing on the best slopes ever.

The Abbey Library of Saint Gall is a magnificent example of rococo architecture located in Switzerland. This library, which once stood next to an abbey that was destroyed by fire, contains over 170,000 religious texts and is considered one of the oldest in the world. Along with the rest of the Benedictine monastery founded by St. Gall in 612, it has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Very beautiful library, UNESCO world heritage site, somehow it is smaller than I expected and it is pretty dark inside. You are not allowed to take pix. The cathedral is probably the most beautiful in the whole Switzerland. They have a very informative audio guide you can rent for 5 chf. Most of the Kloster is occupied by school, government offices and banks.
vic NY (Vic NY) — Google review
Although the library itself is just a one hall portrayed everywhere, I would rate it 5 stars.
The library was a bit disappointing as I was expecting to walk through more rooms/ stairs and corridors like that, to be charmed by the world of books and rare volumes. There is just what you saw on flyers, nothing more. BUT 🪄
The library has two more breathtaking exhibitions, and we were impressed by the effort of those people working to save and protect the rare documents and historical monuments for future generations.
It is definitely worth a visit and people of different ages will enjoy the place.

Come visit the stunning Baroque Hall and explore a unique collection of ancient manuscripts at the Abbey Library of St. Gall. This historical gem has been preserving manuscripts for over a thousand years, showcasing the evolution of European culture since the Middle Ages. Don't miss the temporary exhibitions in the Baroque Hall, featuring UNESCO-honored manuscripts highlighting the Abbey of St. Gall's rich history.
To make the experience even richer, get the audio guide. The information you will get with it is priceless 👌.

This an amazing place to visit ! So much rich in culture ! It is indeed a Unesco World Heritage ! It is not allowed to take pictures indoor, which makes you travel in time even more ! It is a must to visit ! I’ve enjoyed and loved the visit, it is truly worth. I highly recommend this 👍

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

What a beautiful historical place.
You can not rent the books here, they are for show.
Everything is old and handcrafted.
You have to wear houseshoes over your shoes to safe the old wooden floor.
There also is a mummy here, but that is the only item you are not allowed to photograph. Otherwise you can take pictures without flash.

A must see if you find your self in St gallen ❤️ amazing history with so much detail and depth. There are voice recordings you can listen to, to understand the place even more. Tickets to the whole abbey will bring u to the whole city center which was so amazing to see and experience. The library tho is a unesco heritage and one of a kind ♥️
No photos allowed here, just enjoy and have a photographic memory of it 😊❤️🎧

Great library but quite expensive (18 CHF adult ticket) for what you can do there. I wish there would be more history to read up during the visit, or at least audio guide included in the price.

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

WoW should be everyone reaction. It’s hard to give the description what your eyes can see in that place. I was shocked with ticket price - but it’s definitely worth seeing it. Maybe running and screaming students are not well managed but this place must be in your TO SEE list, just look at photos - it’s really like on it

A UNESCO-listed cultural gem that houses a remarkable collection of manuscripts and rare books dating back to the 8th century. Expect to wear slippers before entering the library's Rococo-styled hall with its towering shelves, antique globes and even a mummy at its far end!
Once done, head to the basement and to the other part of the premises for multimedia shows and further sights.
A must-visit if you're in this part of the country!
Christian Tohmé — Google review
Definitely check this out, if you ever find yourself in St. Gallen!
Tickets appear expensive at first at 18 CHF (free if you’re a Raiffeisen member), however they grant you entry to 3 different exhibits, so I personally think that’s not too bad.
The library is just one large room, but it is so beautiful and well-kept, so I was not disappointed.
There is lots to see and learn here, so I would plan at least 2 hours -If you plan to take a break at the cute café too, plan at least 3 hours :))
Finally, while I didn’t take any pictures there, I highly recommend you also visit the church (no ticket needed).
Have a nice time!

Wow! All that's missing is a comfortable plush chair, a cup of tea, and me with nothing but time to explore every book.

Got the audio guide as an afterthought and it turned out to be the best 5 francs I've spent since arriving in Switzerland. It adds so much to the experience of visiting the library, the church and even the areas outside of the abbey (there is a walking tour for the city built in).
Would definitely recommend!
Johann Chung — Google review
The Abbey Library in St. Gallen offers a captivating experience, especially if you have a Swiss Pass—making it a budget-friendly choice.
While the library might not be as expansive as expected, the magic lies in its ancient books and the breathtakingly spectacular ceiling. It's a unique, one-time visit that leaves a lasting impression.
Other attractions in the area may not match the library's charm, but they contribute valuable insights into St. Gallen's history and architectural wonders.

It is certainly hard to describe such a place. It is definitely worth visiting, it is impressive and impossible not to impress you. Unfortunately, when I was there the guide spoke only in German, but you can also find information in English if you ask. It is worth visiting the entire complex

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

The island is beautiful. Sadly it has lost it's spark over the years and the price for the entrance is immensely high. I'd still recommend it for people who simply want to take a walk in the nature.

Absolutely a nice place to visit especially during pleasant weather. Good for families with kids too. Spacious park with many things to see and experience. Lots of shops and cafes to enjoy a good break before continuing. Still, I find it rather too EXPENSIVE for German standard at Eur25 per adult. Parking another Eur6 per day.
Pink Panther — Google review
Nice garden island with flowers, you can smell scent of flowers while entering the garden and there are different plants. Little pond with ducks and fishes. There is little farm with goats where kids can feed and play around with goats and a play area for kids with small pool. Good restaurants. Can spend around 2 to 3 hours here. Boats towards Meersburg or Konstanz is not very frequent so plan accordingly. Entrance ticket 22 EUR per person looks overpriced.

Awesome place to visit in the weekend. Had so much fun looking at kids playing and learning stuff. People with nature, lots and lots of flowers. Was an awesome adventure. The butterfly park is the best of it all. Its really worth it to visit this place to get some stress off. Well spent weekend. Give it a try. You will not regret it.

Although the ticket price now is quite high, 26€, it's a wonderful place to visit, especially for nature lover and family 🤩
There are many types of plant and flower here. You should come here from around middle of April to middle of July in order to have the best experience.
From the harbor on the Mainau island, you can take boat trip to Konstanz harbor or to the other side of Bodensee at Meersburg. It's a good way to enjoy the beauty of Bodensee. 😉

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

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

A must see when nearby.
Many say it is costly, it is.
However it is simular to visiting a zoo but instead of animals you have all sorts of plants. You can spent a whole day here if you want.
Don't hesitate, just do it!

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

Great ski resort. It is huge, a lot of fun for intermediate skiers and snowboarders. Fortunately we had perfect snow and weather conditions.
Louis — Google review
Spectacular skiing. The resort is absolutely massive, we could barely make it from one side to the other in one day, if you spent a week here you would hardly be able to get to all of the pistes. The abundance of high speed lifts and gondolas also ensured that we essentially never had to wait to get in some wonderful skiing in a gorgeous location.
Cale O'Day — Google review
St. Anton am Arlberg is the cradle of skiing and has a huge and well-developed ski area. Modern gondolas and lifts. If you like off-piste in pristine terrain and wonderful après ski, this is the place to choose in the Alps ⛷☃️🍻

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

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

Skiing Arlberg is one of the best Skiing Areas in the world! But famous Skiing Resorts are always very expensive…. !

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

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

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

Lech is Topnoch skiing area. Wide slopes, super groomed slopes and super good vibe in the restaurant. We really enjoyed it! It is true not a beginner friendly skiing slops.
Located in Friedrichshafen, Germany, the Zeppelin Museum is a top attraction that offers a rich display of exhibitions and art inspired by air travel. Housed in the historic Bauhaus building of the former harbor railway station, this museum is dedicated to showcasing the history of airship travel through an extensive collection of over 1500 unique items and historical multimedia resources. One of its main highlights includes the partial restoration of LZ 129 Hindenburg.
Super interesting museum about Zeppelins and the history of dirigibles in general. They used to build Zeppelins in Friedrichshafen, so now there is this museum. Inside there is a full sized section of the Hindenburg passenger compartment which you can explore, and a cool retro 3d film room. There are tons of historical exhibits, and a hands-on room with aeronautical experiments to play with. If you're in Friedrichshafen, it's worth visiting this museum.
Mike Harms — Google review
It was interesting. The entrance it's about 12 € per person. Big enough the place but still something was missing to give 5 stars. I feel like if they could have more interactive things would be more interesting.
There was a painting area what I did not understand how is connected to Zeppelin...
I saw a little cabin lots of stuff from that century...parts, clothes typewriter, coins and stamps...etc.
I'm sure is also good for kids and they had a little area outside (near the front door) a "Zeppelin" playground. Looks like Zeppelin aircraft.
Gyongy Jelinek — Google review
Interesting to know Zeppelin history. Nicely organized museum. You get to see two generic sections explaining history, mechanical design details( with kids there are small activities also explaining few principles along with few post cards to take away) and lastly with a 2-3 minute theatre clip. Also attached is a v2o restaurant, popular one in Friedrichschafen. Time to spent depends on your interest but typically could take 1.5 to 2 hours.
Mahi Ratnaakaram — Google review
Overall, the museum is pretty impressive as far as what exhibits it has on display, to include the largest remnant from the Hindenburg. There are also pieces from the Graf Zeppelin, and a room full of Zeppelin memorabilia and collectibles.
It was nice to see the audio commentary available in several languages, just wish that that the same could be said about some of the text as well. I just wish there was a focus on the DELAG airline, as I feel like that's a lesser known part of aviation history.
Either way, if you're an aviation fan, this place is well worth your time.

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

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

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

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

Interesting museum for anyone interested in the history of aviation. Not a huge museum, but lots of knowledge if interested. Not too much for young kids. There was a couple hands on displays, but mostly targeting older kids and adults. Favourite fact: zeppelin crossed from Europe to South America in 86 hours.

Breitachklamm is a popular hiking destination with stunning views of rocky river gorges and cliffs. The path can be narrow and crowded, but visitors can take advantage of large parking lots and online ticket purchasing to avoid long wait times. There are multiple trails available for hikers, including a longer option. The canyon is particularly beautiful on sunny days, but also worth visiting in the winter months. Visitors should be prepared for dripping water and low-hanging obstacles if they are tall.
Frozen paradise. The best part is the walk back when the path opens up into a field. Bring good shoes its slippery.

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

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

It is a great hiking place, if I'd have more time I'd go the longest trial. The canyon is pretty especially with sunny day, I wish I could see this place in winter time too. I bet it's stunning.

one of the most beautiful gorges in Germany. It is a great hiking place, if I'd have more time I'd go the longest trial. The canyon is pretty especially with sunny day, I wish I could see this place in winter time too. I bet it's stunning.
There is 6.5 euro entry fees. You have to go! When we went there it was raining abit and adding to the powerful river below forcing itself through the channels. The gorge can be picturesque with great boulders from above and super high walls towering over the pathways. Such an experience and better than most tourist attractions. Highly recommended

Beautiful spot. Well worth too see whiles visiting this area. It's really overcrowded in high seasons. I recommend to go early, before 10am. Wear some comfortable shoes, as there are some slippery spots.
It was a bit shorter than what I expected. You need around 60-90min for the circuit. The water is crystal clear and has an amazing turquoise colour and the rock formations are magnificent. The parking is 4€ and entry 7,50€ per Adult.

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

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

What a place. We all loved it. Walked around an hour. My kids loved every minute as there was so much to see. We went in March and there was still a lot of icicles which made the whole place just breathtaking. Paths were easy to walk. You should watch your kids though. Buggys are not allowed. Paths can also be closed depending on weather.
Prices were fair. Be aware you can only pay cash.
I definitely recommend a visit!

The Ulmer Münster is a Lutheran church built in Gothic style, located in the heart of Ulm City. It boasts the world's tallest steeple at 161.53 meters high and features an impressive carved choir. The church is considered a must-visit landmark in Germany, offering visitors a glimpse into the Middle Ages with its lovely Gothic architecture.
Pictures from February, 2022.
The best experience and also the most challenging is to climb the stairs to reach the viewing platform at the top of the cathedral. Narrow staircases, straight upward climbing is quite exhausting. But really worth of giving it a try. Also the view from the top is really fantastic, a mesmerizing birdeye view of Ulm.

The Münster⛪ is a church built in the Gothic style. It is the largest evangelical church in Germany. The 161.53 meter high tower completed in 1890 is the highest church tower in the world🌍. As it is a must visit if you are in Germany.

If you are ever in Ulm, or passing by with a few hours for your next train connection, and if you like Gothic style buildings, you need to see this very interesting church building.
If you like taking bird’s eye views, this place will interest you, but be aware, there are many steps to climb up if you want to take great pictures of the town from above. Likewise, it will take you time to get back down.
The inside of the building is also marvellous with great designs and centuries old architecture.
This place is close walking distance from the Ulm Hbf train station and I would recommend a tour visit and if you can, go up to the maximum point where you can take unobstructed photos.

Amazing place because of the architecture and also the energy vibe in there. I recommend you to climb to the top and get a great view. I went on the morning and it was not busy. At the top you can find a small museum when they show you some pictures and paintings from other cathedrals. You can also see the big bells 🔔, just be careful they don’t scare you will you’re climbing.

Magnificent cathedral! The gothic aspiration up to the sky is impressive. Stone lace, sculptures, ancient frescoes, paintings are simply magnificent. But the greatest impression is made by going up to the observation deck of the highest bell tower in Europe. The price is not big, 5 euros. But while you climb to the top, you will curse yourself for your blissful curiosity!😄Descent from the bell tower is another adventure!

The Gothic-style ancient cathedral boasts a spectacular interior with soaring ceilings and intricate sculptures. Sunlight streaming through the large stained glass windows of the nave bathes the entire space in beautiful hues, creating a serene ambiance. When the bells chime, a tranquil stillness envelops the surroundings, offering a moment of spiritual clarity.
Climbing the high tower is an option, and if you have the stamina, reaching the top provides a breathtaking view of the surrounding city. Currently undergoing maintenance, access to the tower is limited, but once the restoration is complete, I look forward to returning to this place to embrace life anew.
LEGOLAND Germany is a family-friendly amusement park featuring thrilling rides and an aquarium, as well as impressive replicas of German landmarks constructed from LEGO bricks. Visitors can opt to stay at the LEGOLAND Hotels within the Holiday Village, which offers access to various amenities including restaurants, playgrounds, and a high ropes course. The park also provides opportunities for guests to observe the LEGO manufacturing process and create their own LEGO bricks. Additionally, there are water rides that offer an adrenaline rush.
Great place for whole family. Waiting time usually not more than 15 minutes (Monday beginning of July).
Ticket price ok for adults and kids over the height limit, but far too expensive for smaller kids who are not allowed to most attractions, but still pay full price.
Food ok, the best one we found is the City restaurant with nice buffet.

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

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

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

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

Had a great time there with my kid and husband, spent 1 day there and we would have needed more time. We bought the tickets in advance, about 2 months before the day.
The child was able to enjoy all the attractions even though he is around 120 cm tall (for some was mandatory to have an adult with him).
All the attractions were closed at 5pm.
The food is not that good, just junk food.

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

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

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

It’s a great park if you’re a Lego fan although somehow it feels older than it is (20 years old). Rides and attractions are ok although without much capacity, meaning you need to queue a fair bunch for very short rides (2-3mins). I can’t imagine that ratio during the high-season… Most of the staff was ok and average rude, not many English speakers. Plenty of shopping opportunities. We had a great family time but it’s unlikely that we will make the trip again.
The Augsburg Town Hall, a government building from the 17th century Renaissance era, boasts lavish halls adorned with artwork and gold. With an admission fee of only 1 euro for students, visitors can witness the historical significance of the building upon entry. Inside, ancient objects are displayed in charming rooms. Though its exterior may seem unremarkable compared to others in town, it is a must-visit attraction for those interested in history and architecture. Its stunning beauty is evident through pictures alone.

Fuggerei is a housing complex that has been operating for over 500 years, with a museum on-site. It has a rich history and was originally built to house those who couldn't afford their own homes. The complex is well-maintained and during the summer months, the houses are covered in lush green climbers. One of the houses is open to visitors so they can experience what life was like there in the past.
Beautiful historical place with the nice and smooth vibe.

A place rich with the history that goes back to 500 years. The main reason was to provide shelter to people who could not afford housing. Very well maintained and well illustrated. If you visit during the summer, then you can see the houses covered with beautiful green climbers. They still have a house open for the tourists, so that you can go and have a feel of how it was to live here during the old time. How was the lifestyle of the people in Fuggerei. They have their own small church inside the premises. There are families who still live here. You can walk through the entire area. They accept only cash at the entrance for the ticket of 6.50 Euros.

It is the newest and tallest structure of the Rothenburg city fortifications, the Spitaltor. The hospital tower is part of the southern fortification and was built until 1360 and 1380. The old Hospital of the Holy Spirit was included in the fortification at the request of the population. The city wall had to be expanded and thus the gate and the name arose. Next to the door is the original sentry box.

The walk around the town walls is great to do around sunset, it wasn't very busy whilst we walked the walls and gave great views of the Rothenberg rooftops. Whilst walking the walls look out for names on stones that are set into the walls, these are the names of people from around the world that have brought a section of the wall to help fund the restoration and upkeep of the town. Walking the walls is free to do so well worth a visit!

(Translated by Google) These towers are an eye-catcher for the city fortifications and unfortunately they are not accessible (it doesn't matter, the entire city wall is and an experience!!!). When the infirmary was incorporated into the city wall in 1370, a gate was to be built here to serve as the new southern entrance to Rothenburg. The defense of the gate was greatly improved in 1586 when this tall gate tower and eight-shaped bastion were added (the tower is visible from afar and is one of the reasons for the city's uniqueness). The bastion has 2 courtyards, has 7 gates, an upper passage and is surrounded by a dry moat into which you can walk. We could spend a good hour wandering the figure eight just admiring the exposed beams and covered bridge. The Latin inscription above the gate says: “Peace to those who enter; Farewell to those who leave.”
(Original)
Diese Türme sind ein Hingucker für die Stadtbefestigungen und dieser leider nicht zugänglich (macht nix, die gesamte Stadtmauer ist es und ein Erlebnis!!!). Als die Krankenstation 1370 durch die Stadtmauer eingegliedert wurde, sollte hier ein Tor gebaut werden, das als neuer südlicher Eingang nach Rothenburg dienen sollte. Die Verteidigung des Tores wurde 1586 stark verbessert, als dieser hohe Torturm und die Bastei in Form einer Acht angebaut wurden (der Turm ist von Weit sichtbar und einer der Gründe für die Einzigartigkeit der Stadt). Die Bastion hat 2 Innenhöfe, hat 7 Tore, einen oberen Gang und ist von einem trockenen Graben umgeben, in den man gehen kann. Wir könnten eine gute Stunde damit verbringen, durch die Acht zu wandern und nur die freiliegenden Balken und die überdachte Brücke zu bewundern. Die lateinische Inschrift über dem Tor sagt: „Friede denen, die eintreten; Lebe wohl von denen, die gehen.“

I'll never travel to Berlin without this trip planner again
The Audi Forum Ingolstadt is a museum located beside the Audi factory, showcasing a range of cars and motorcycles along with restaurants and an arthouse cinema. The tour begins on the top floor and covers the entire history of the car manufacturer, including its role during World War II. A rotating elevator featuring various Audi motorsport cars is one of the highlights of the museum. Factory tours are not part of the ticket but can be booked in advance during weekdays.
This was great to add to my collection of museum experiences. So far I've been to the BMW, Mercedes and Porsche museums so this was the cherry on top. I spent 5 hours here just like I did the others and enjoyed every moment of it. The front desk staff was helpful when I had a question regarding my rental car's refueling and parking. Did I mention the onsite restaurant is amazing? Well, believe it. It is. It wasn't your cheap restaurant menu it had a FULL buffet of healthy foods. Great way to refuel after a long day of informative adventures past and present. They have so many cars on display along with the history of the formation of Audi. That revolving elevator of cars is really cool. I'm excited to see what awaits as I got a glimpse of the future of automotive technology provided by one of the finest car manufacturers on the planet. Will I ever be able to afford one? I can't say for sure, but it's worth a try!

Not that big museum if you are expecting to see a lot of items inside (only two floors) but pretty enough for getting the first impression about Audi and its history. 2G+ is mandatory in these days.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Audi Ingolstadt facility on a midweek Wednesday, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The museum, housing a remarkable collection of vintage automobiles, provided a captivating journey through the rich history of the Audi brand. Upon my visit, the museum exhibited a serene ambiance, as it was surprisingly devoid of a large crowd, enhancing the overall experience. The opportunity to explore the extensive collection of very old cars in such a tranquil setting added a unique charm to my visit.
The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the factory tour, which left me awe-inspired by the cutting-edge technology employed in the automotive industry. The precision and efficiency witnessed during the tour underscored Audi's commitment to excellence. The knowledgeable guides provided insightful commentary, enriching the tour with valuable information about the manufacturing processes and technological innovations.
The hospitality extended by the staff at Audi Ingolstadt further heightened the overall experience. The personnel were not only courteous but also demonstrated a genuine passion for the brand and its heritage. Their willingness to share information and answer queries contributed significantly to the positive atmosphere surrounding the visit.
I wholeheartedly recommend both the museum and the factory tour to enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.
The combination of historic charm, state-of-the-art technology, and exceptional hospitality makes this destination a must-visit for anyone interested in the world of automobiles. Audi Ingolstadt truly exemplifies excellence in every aspect of its offerings.

The museum is next to the Audi factory. The tour starts at the top floor and it's walking through the entire history of the car manufacturer, especially the agitated period during the second world war. The highlight of the museum is a rotating elevator with different Audi motorsport cars. Factory tours are not included in the museum ticket. It's possible only during the week and booking in advance is recommended.

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Audi Museum in Ingolstadt and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The museum offers a unique and fascinating insight into the history of this iconic automotive brand, and I was thoroughly impressed with everything on display.
The exhibits at the Audi Museum are both informative and engaging, with an impressive collection of historic vehicles and interactive displays. The attention to detail in every aspect of the museum is truly impressive, and it's clear that a lot of care and attention has gone into creating this world-class facility.
One of the highlights of my visit was the chance to see some of Audi's most famous cars up close and personal, including some of the iconic racing cars that have helped to cement the brand's reputation over the years.
Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to the Audi Museum in Ingolstadt to anyone with an interest in cars or automotive history. The museum is truly world-class, and the experience is one that I will not soon forget. Thank you to everyone at the Audi Museum for providing such an incredible experience!

For an Audi enthusiast this is definitely a place to visit. It may not be a big museum but it does capture the history of the cars and surprisingly it wasn’t that busy. A few downsizes the gift shop I think is small than your average shop. If you want to do your the factory is better to book online as the tours get fill quickly. Don’t forget to present your parking card to receive free parking.

The museum is very interesting. From future to the past, from newest cars to concept cars and even the old ones. Everything is great and you can get inside even in wheelchair because there is ramp and inside is an elevator. Price for adult is only 5 euros for whole day.

Would have loved to have taken the full tour. I highly recommend booking it early so you are sure to get a spot. But just the walking tour was exceptional. Really enjoyed the layout and thorough presentation of all the facts and information. There are some great interactive videos and tutorials that describe the Audi automobiles. Again very informative and would have loved to get the full tour experience.

Small but with a nice collection of historical and racing Audi cars and motorcycles. The people there are friendly except near the closing hour they can’t wait any minute to throw you out of the museum as well as the shop. The Avus restaurant is highly recommended—food is great and pricing is reasonable, and the service there is great.
Liu Rodney — Google review
I would recommend visiting in the end of September or later, because the first floor, where the modern automobiles are, is closed until then.
There are not only automobiles, but also motorcycles and bicycles. You can also see how the different details of automobiles work.
You should schedule at least two hours to spend there, however it could easily turn into 3-4 hours. The entry costs 5 euros for adults.

It's a bit crowded around. Hard to find the entrance, and ticket office... But everybody is polite, nice and helpful!
The exhibition is exciting and interesting especially if you find a guide who tells the story behind the individual subject.
Good experience. Suggested for everyone who has the taste, love the fashion, oldies and technology.

Average museum especially in comparison with Mercedes and BMW. But still there are enough interesting models of Audi and Horch. Makes sense to visit in case you're a fan of cars, for the rest it may be not much fun. Also there is a shop with new cars next to the museum.

Great museum, different from any other car museum with the crane that keeps turning and showing different cars. It’s easy to follow, explanstions are brief and there are some amazing cars. Unfortunatley there’s a lack of modern cars and it is a bit small in comparison to Porsche museum, for example. But it is really worth it. I recommend to check the website first, since first floor usually has temporary exhibitions and you might find it closed. I highly recommend the museum if you are in Bavaria (Bayern).

A very interesting place. Very informative displays. Visited as part of a walk around the entire site (which took a good couple of hours) I would have rated it higher if it hadn’t been a temporary exhibition.

The museum is currently in renovation. Currently, there is just one small part arranged. The entrance of 6 euro is a bit steep for what it is now, but already to stay in a real place of the history that you explain is a big plus. Then, even though it is temporary, it is well done and give you an understanding of the area.

Heavy stuff, but super enlightening.
I can’t imagine how crowded it would be on a busy day, but my party and I were able to take our time and not feel crowded.
I recommend several breaks for fresh air like me if stuff like this can weigh you down.
Several tours walked through while we observed, read, contemplated, interact with displays, and processed all this information ℹ️.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions, it is alright to not know something. We are all here to learn.
Time should be taken if distractions tend to be a problem, because I have issues staying still at all moments. There is a lot to take in and it’s easy to miss things.

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

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

Final take . Prep yourself for the climb up but well worth it

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

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

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

There may be accessible ways to get there that I did t see.

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

This is a beautiful place to visit. It has a very steep cobbled path leading up to the entrance and a lot of steps inside. I bought the combination ticket which was worth it. The castle is well presented inside with educational displays. The tower is 112 steps up a spiral staircase, but the views from the top were beautiful. The tour to the well was funny and fascinating. The tour guide knew his stuff.
The Bamberg Cathedral is a beautiful and historic Catholic cathedral located in Bamberg, Germany. Over the centuries, it has been the seat of the Archbishops of Bamberg and contains many artistic treasures, most notably the slender equestrian statue of the Bamberger Reiter (Bamberg Horseman), whose true identity remains a mystery. The cathedral is also associated with King Heinrich II, who became Emperor later in life.
A beautiful church with an extremely calming experience when you sit inside. Recommend lighting candles and looking at the beautiful decorations when here.

The cathedral of Bamberg is definitely one of the greatest buildings in the city. By the time we arrived there it was already closed, but we could appreciate the external architecture nonetheless; next to the cathedral there’s also a garden which is worth the visit.
Flavio Pimentel — Google review
The Bamberg Cathedral, completed in the 13th century, holds significant historical and cultural importance, earning its place in the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Town of Bamberg" since 1993. Officially known as Bamberg Cathedral of St. Peter and St. George, it is also referred to as the Kaiserdom or Imperial Cathedral. This cathedral houses the only papal grave in Germany after the destruction of Pope Benedict V's tomb in Hamburg in the early 19th century. Emperor Heinrich II and his wife Kunigunde are interred in a sepulcher near the entrance, while Pope Clement II is also buried here.
Visitors, like those depicted in the reviews, appreciate the cathedral's stunning architecture, intricate paintings, and notable historical figures entombed within. Despite its grandeur, some find the interior slightly underwhelming compared to other cathedrals in Germany, particularly in terms of design aesthetics. While access to certain areas like the cathedra, papal tomb, and frescoes may be restricted, guided tours are available, offering insights into the cathedral's rich history. Entry is free, making it a must-visit attraction in Bamberg.

Monumental cathedral with a lot of history and importance!
Built in the 13th century - to the form as we see today - it's one of the most sacred buildings in Germany, and indeed from the outside the architecture is stunning distinguishing the cathedral by four majestic towers visible from most parts of the city. Even though the cathedral was under construction I was still able to admire its beauty, I especially appreciate the detailed Prince's portal on the side of the cathedral.
From the inside it was a bit let down. Yes, seeing the horseman, the most significant work of art in the cathedral, alongside the organs and the interior was great, but nothing mind blowing - judging strictly from the design perspective, not the cultural heritage. There are simply more beautiful cathedrals around Germany. From up close I was able to see The Tomb of the Saintly Imperial couple and the horsemen, unfortunately the cathedra, papal tomb (the only place north of Alps with buried pope) and the fresco of The Second Coming of Christ at the apse were fenced, therefore not able to admire from up close in details.
There is no organized tour inside nor you can go to one of its towers (let down for me as I like seeing places from above), but you can purchase a small brochure for 1 EUR to help you navigate through the place. Be aware that opening hours may vary due to masses (during my time of visit the cathedral was closed between 12:00 and 12:30). Free entry. Visited in July 2022.

History said that it was built and founded by Henry II in the year 1004 and it was declared sacred in 1012. It burnt down twice that it took a long time to rebuild.
A magnificent and majestic cathedral I've ever seen in Bamberg that composes of 4 big towers that surround and a solemn place inside though a presence tourists can be seen.
It has a very rich history and famous cathedral in Germany.
A lot of statues inside and outside of the cathedral.
Lots of sculptures, carvings and styles (Romaneque and Gothic) are impressive and superb.
There are lots of altars and organs (1415, 1868 and 1976) that mostly built against the north wall.
We can find here the only place in Germany where the grave of Pope Clement II is buried.
The tombs of Henry II and his wife - Empress Cunigunde are buried here too.
A worthy place to visit and there was no entrance fee when I visited this cathedral.
Observed dress code when visiting this place.
According to the information, its official name is Bamberg Cathedral of St. Peter and St. George. It is also called the Kaiserdom (“Imperial Cathedral”).
John Paul Tuquib — Google review
What a historic building right at the center of Bamberg and close to the old rathaus. The cathedral portrays Catholic over a millennium aga and the richness it offers through history of Church for the people of Bamberg.
Monuments are nicely spaced out as the hall is large (with ongoing constructions of the podium).
There's underground sitting place unfortunately locked and out of access to visitors as of yesterday. However you'll still find enough to go round and appreciate the beauty of it's architecture or see God in the splendor of how the people of Bamberg largely perceived as Catholics.
Sure during mass one find another atmosphere to observe institution of church at service to it's members. However as visitor it's already enough to enjoy sightseeing. Nearby you'll find various attractions and city life, rose flower garden, eateries and museums. There's nothing to miss visiting this cathederal.

A marvelous medieval church with a really long history dating back to 11th century, its construction was only finished by 13th century. It is amazing to see a mixture of both Romanesque and gothic styles within the same cathedral. The four imposing church towers is a sight to admire from a distance. It has many interesting relics and an underground chapel, which makes it unique from other churches I have visited.
It is a burial tomb of Henry II and Pope Clement II, which makes it the only church to have a Papal grave in Germany. Located on a small hill top, can be reached through a small walk from the old town.

Bamberg Cathedral completed in the 13th century. Since 1993, the cathedral has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Town of Bamberg". Its official name is Bamberg Cathedral of St. Peter and St. George. It is also called the Kaiserdom (“Imperial Cathedral”). With the destruction of the tomb of Pope Benedict V at Hamburg at the beginning of the 19th century, this became the only papal grave in Germany. Emperor Heinrich II and his wife Kunigunde are buried in a sepulcher near the entrance. Pope Clement II is also buried here.

Beautiful place, very nice detailed architecture, interesting paintings and there’s actually a pope inside!! It’s in a pretty touristy historical area, totally recommended if you’re around.

Bamberg Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must-visit in Bamberg. Upon entering, I recommend purchasing the affordable bi-fold guide for €1. It provides valuable information about the cathedral and its highlight, the iconic Bamberg Horseman—a magnificent equestrian statue. With the guide in hand, you'll gain deeper insights and a more meaningful experience as you explore this architectural marvel.

I always find it fascinating to visit churches wherever I go. And European Churches are particularly grand and imposing. I'm not an expert with architecture, but surely I know how to appreciate one whenever I see them.
Gabby Mariano — Google review
Beary impressive architecture! As well as its size. It was a really cool feeling standing among those old magnificent buildings. I didn’t visit inside though, but I’m sure it’s at least as cool as the outside 🐻⛪️🤩
If you’re interested in churches I might think it’s a must-see, if you’re visiting Bamberg 📍☝️😁

Another beautiful church in Bamberg - Lots of history and numerous pictures...
Welcome to the Cathedral of St Peter and St George. Commissioned in 1012 over 1000 years ago, in the 13th century.
The ibis Bamberg Altstadt is a basic, laid-back hotel located in the heart of Bamberg. It offers complimentary Wi-Fi and a 24-hour snack bar. The city of Bamberg features an imposing cathedral and many picturesque buildings with an authentic medieval appearance. Day trips to the cities of Nuremberg and Wurzburg are also very recommendable.
Near the old town and walking distance from train station. Price-quality wise really good. Peaceful and clean place. There are good restaurants nearby too. Friendly and helpful staff.

Sweet little hotel with a very friendly personal and a nice view from the 4th floor! Perfect for visiting Bamberg for a few days or just a weekend. The location couldn’t be better - it’s in the heart of the city and still very quiet.

The hotel at the centre of Bamberg. The furnitures is quite old and the extra bed was broken. The underground parking was big enough but it was quite expensive.

Overall it is a nice hotel in a great location within walking distance to some great sights and places to eat. Hotel staff were super friendly and accommodating. Room was spacious with a comfy bed, BUT there was a very strong sewer smell in the bathroom and the shower was small and in a triangular shape so it was difficult to have a shower.
I would stay again

My husband and I arrived, during Christmas Market time. The concierge's name was Abdullah, who was very professional, personable and helpful. This hotel was close to the festivities and had underground parking. Parking fee was $20 euro for the parking, which was convenient not trying to find parking elsewhere or the possibility of walking long distances, with suitcases. The room and bathroom were very clean, location mostly quiet (in the middle of the night, there were people smoking and speaking loudly outside, which wasn't the hotel's fault), beds and pillows were comfortable and the temperature pleasant. If one didn't want to eat at the hotel, Cafe Luitpold was nearby with a delicious, fresh and nutritious breakfast. If we would travel again to Bamberg, we would consider this hotel again.

I stayed in this hotel for three nights and the staff was friendly during my stay. The room they gave me was spacious, but basically equipped, which is common for Ibis hotels. The bathroom was tiny and the holder for the shower head was broken, so it was uncomfortable to have a shower. The WIFI was fast and I liked the quiet location of the hotel not directly on the main shopping/entertainment street.
Thomas Dafinger — Google review
The only modern/budget hotel in the old town. Ask for rooms facing the street side (better view) and ending in 15 or 19 (larger). Not the best Ibis shower that I know (they're generally excellent), the shower floor levels with the bathroom (don't wash too enthusiastically), and there's a GREY shower curtain that doesn't let light it (now that's a first-timer!).

The central location is by far the best feature is this Ibis Bamberg Altstadt - you are just five minutes waking from Altes Rathaus, in the heart of the old town. The installations are very clean and functional. The bathroom is extremely small and they charge for the subterranean parking, which is something I didn’t see in the website. But anyway, in terms of cost benefit, it is definitely well worth.

Everything was great here!!! Breakfast, Clean rooms, quiet warm place, park for additional Euros, but not much. Excellent Staff service as they are very nice and kind.
The location is another great item, very close to the most popular city tourist attractions.
I do recommend it.
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations in Probstheida neighbourhood is a huge temple of death commemorating the 1813 battle when Austrian, Russian, Swedish and Prussian forces came together to defeat Napoleon. The imposing memorial site features carvings, statues and inscriptions and reflects its reflection in the lake of tears.
Beautiful, but must take ~320 steps to reach to the top of the building, the path and steps can be narrow.
But you can get a good town view from the top.
Must visit landmark while you in Leipzig:)
We went on a weekend just right after opening at 10am- less crowded & peacefully explored, around 11-12pm we saw big crowd coming.

If you're in the area and interested in history - visit this one!
It cost me 10€ entry, and then I headed inside. There's a lift, but if you want to truly see everything, you cannot avoid the stairs. Overall there are about 500 of them, but as I combined lift with stairs, I climbed about 250, I guess.
The view from the top is nice, but the one from the Panorama Tower in the city is way better.
Flynn On Tour — Google review
I enjoyed this monument more than I thought I would. The big statues reminded me of ancient statues. The acoustics inside are pretty good. The whole experience is maze-like, going up the narrow stairways. The views at the top are great. Remember to get your ticket below, before you climb the stairs to the entrance.
Jeremy Hall — Google review
One of the best places I have ever visited, so breathtaking and ancient. And the museum is so beautiful but the thing that's most beautiful about this place is the view from the top of the monument, absolutely otherworldly.
Sujata Dey — Google review
Very beautiful. Paying just €10 (€8 for students) you can go up to the very top of the monument climbing 500 steps in narrow spaces, the tiring way is totally worth it the view! Furthermore you can enter in the museum nearby and see ancient exhibits from the battle of nations.
Elena Pettirossi — Google review
I liked the museum very much. Leipzig is a must-see museum. It is a very impressive and explanatory museum. Germany's confrontation with its war history has been very effective. He should learn such lessons. I recommend it to anyone who visits Leipzig. It is a worth seeing place. The interior of the monument should definitely be visited. If you want to capture beautiful photo frames, I recommend you to visit it in the afternoon.
Clara Caster — Google review
Very peaceful to visit. It feels like a very secular monument to the Prussian people who endured Napoleon’s invasion. It take peace time to build such a monument. Unfortunately the peace time would not last with the start of World War 1 and the damage is from World War 2.
In the United States we are letting our World War 1 monuments crumble and allowing capitalism to take over our sense of duty. A concept most Americans can not grasp, but something Germans understand. This is a place of mourning but today it is a place to enjoy life with families.

I must say the monument was very impressive. Entrance was 10 euros with an extra 2 euros for the audio guide. I would recommend that you take the audio guide as it gives you so much more information. The audio guide is available in English. There are 350 plus steps to get to the top but the views of Leipzig are spectacular. The museum covers the battle itself. This is where the audio guide really does come into it's own. It gives a view from the people that lived in Leipzig at the time of the battle and explains some of the exhibits and the reason for the battle. We spent approximately 3 hours here and another 40 minutes at cafe at the other end of the monument
Stillapatmike — Google review
One of the representative symbol of Leipzig. The height is 91 meters and it is most biggest monument in the Europe.
The closer I got to it, the more overwhelmed I was by its size and impact.
You can enter inside of the monument by 10€ per person.
On the top of the monument, you can see the overview of Leipzig. It is really amazing.
There are total 500 step to the top viewing platform.On the other hand, the elevator is settled in the monument and you can access by 2/3 height of monument easily.
Last 50 steps of top floor is too narrow to pass through each other. Please take care and go up without haste.
(History of this monument)
This monument was constructed for Prussia and allied forces wining Napoleon's French army at Leipzig.
This war is one of the most important battles and histrionical turning point of finishing the domination of Germany by French empire.

One of the fifteen national monuments referred to as "Denkmals" this is the largest although in this authors opinion not the most impressive. Although it is impressive. If you come to Leipzig this is absolutely a must see.

A great place to see historical moments from WWI ( weapons, uniforms and buildings) which happened in Leipzig, and for sure the most that we loved about this place was the top of the building that shows the whole city around! It was breathtaking and deserves a visit!
Daniel Saada — Google review
It’s a huge architecture for a monument. A monument backed with German nationalist motivation while it was built but it’s least been memorialized now and people are more looking at the architecture.
It’s possible to get to middle viewing floor with two different lifts but the top observation deck is only accessible by very narrow and long stairs.
Timothy En Haw Chan — Google review
Very impressive building. The sheer scale of it is breathtaking. If you want to make it to the top viewing platform, be prepared for narrow staircases because the elevator does NOT go all the way to the top.
This is one of those monuments where the focus has shifted from what it commemorates to the monument itself. Most people visit it to see the building and admire its architectural design rather than think about the event for which it was built.
Wouter van de Ridder — Google review
Absolutely stunning place!!!
A place that I recommend to visit from the bottom of my soul.
Read a bit about this place before you go to visit!!!
You don't need to book yourself, and you dont need a guide, only tickets that cost approximately 10 euros per person.
The interior is something special, with an amazing view on the whole city.
The elevator is not going all the way up, and the staircase is narrow . Be ready!

We didn't get to go inside because of lack of time but it was really cool to see even from the outside. Something that looks so out of place in a European setting. Amazingly built. You do have to climb a bunch of stairs to go up to the main floors...for those who are physically disabled. But I think there is an elevator somewhere inside.
The zoo Leipzig is one of the oldest and most modern zoos in Europe. It boasts a large variety of animals from 850 different species, all in naturalistic habitats. In addition to its animal exhibits, the zoo has conservation programs to help protect endangered species.
The zoo was beyond my expectations! It is definitely one of the best things to do in Leipzig after the self ride boating experience. The zoo has all kinds of animals from bears, lions, monkeys, chimps, aquarium, giraffe, Zebra, Rhino, tropical rainforest experience to most of the well known and a few almost extinct animals one would want to see.
The ticket was 22 euros per person which is definitely worth the money. Plan to spend at least 4-5 hours in the zoo. If you are an animal enthusiast then you might need minimum 5-6 hours

Beautiful Zoo.
It was a rainy day. Perfect because it wasn too crowded.
Parking: The best place to park is in the parking garage directly opposite the entrance. Good and not too expensive.
Food: Everywhere in the zoo there is the possibility to eat and drink something. I can recommend the restaurant at the giraffe enclosure with a view of giraffes and zebras.
The large cafe is really big and tastes very good.
I recommend to take some water with you because the prices for food and drink are sometimes high

Definitely worthy of visiting. Don't regret the decision at all. The aquarium was wonderful. Saw most of the animals as we sticked to the route on map. The boat trip was out of the world experience and was worth 2 euros more. Overall a happy feeling to have visited here.
Sweta Thakur — Google review
Probably the best zoo in Europe. Since my first visit, they have been improving the older parts of the zoo and now it's almost fully renewed with modern enclosures.
It can be very crowded, even on workdays.
Themed areas are correct and well balanced, not looking too artificial or like a theme park.
Don't miss the pangolins at the underground floor of the elephant house ;)

Leipzig Zoo has a decent variety of animals, and some exhibits were enjoyable. However, my experience was not so good as several animals were missing during my visit. Moreover, the food prices were very high and the overall atmosphere felt too crowded. Improvement in these areas would significantly enhance the visitor experience.
As per my experience the aquarium and Tropical world were amazing ....
Faisal Qayyum — Google review
Although a small number of animals could understandably not be seen in the outdoor enclosures due to the cold and snowy winter weather, the beautifully and creatively laid out zoo still contained a much wider variety of species to see than I had anticipated. A wholly enjoyable experience, even in 'off season'.

One forgets within 30 minutes that they are in the city or even in a zoo. If the visiting route is followed, you will have the most enjoyable trip. Gondwanaland must be visited both by walking and by boat. You can bring food and drink with you, there are enough suitable places. There is a great transportation and parking place, whether by car or by bus, train or tram. Right across the entrance door, you can also lock your bike next to the closed parking lot. In the zoo, which consists of 6 different concepts, you really live every part of it to the fullest. The most beautiful zoo I've ever seen. Especially in the tropical park, a boat tour should be done.
Joseph Hahn — Google review
I was incredibly impressed with this zoo. I’ve been to multiple zoos in North America and Australia and this one was the most impressive. I couldn’t get over how incredible the tropical building was, and just how BIG it was! The prices were also very reasonable, and food inside was not too overly expensive. I could easily have spent an entire day just exploring half of this wonderful zoo.

Fantastic! We were getting in very fast with our online tickets. It's better to print out. The whole zoo was great. Plenty extra attractions for kids too. Boat ride was amazing as well. We had a great time. Easily needed 6,5 hours. At the moment the Aquarium is closed due to renovation. We are definitely going to come back.
Eszter Moln?r — Google review
The layout and theming of this zoo is excellent and at times it felt more like a theme park (especially in Gondwanaland). Food prices and availability is good, even on a busy day, and the enclosures are far more creative than places like Berlin. Admittedly we did struggle to see some of the animals at times, particularly the monkeys who were hidden in their huge enclosures. I’ll definitely go back, though next time not on a public holiday.
Tom Beck — Google review
Our family spent the day at the Zoo! It was such a wonderful time! Walking through Gondwanaland was a highlight! Definitely recommend checking it out! :)
The only negative thing is, on crowded days, the pathways are so narrow that it makes for a bit of closterfobic experience (especially the path through Pongoland). Other than feeling packed in, we had a great time there!
Alex Lawrence — Google review
Nice Zoo Garden very accesibile, just a short walk from Center. I visited it a few years back and I liked it more then. Maybe now it has more fast food places and less animals, or maybe they were just hidden or taking a break. Plenty of space for animals, very natural environment and you have to be lucky to be in the right place and the right time to see the animals. I liked also the Amazonian place. Enjoyed Leipzig, clean and full of nice places to see. Good food and drinks. Zoo and parks are a big plus.

The Leipzig Zoo is truly an amazing place to visit. It’s not just big; it’s incredibly expansive, offering a wide variety of animal exhibits and attractions to explore. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast or just looking for a fun day out with family or friends, this zoo has something for everyone.
One piece of advice I’d like to share is that if you plan to visit more than once or think you might return in the future, it’s definitely worth considering an annual pass. Buying a yearly ticket can be more cost-effective than paying for admission on a per-day basis, especially if you want to take your time to fully enjoy everything the zoo has to offer. It’s a great way to support the zoo and ensure you can return whenever you please.

My highlight of the zoo is the tropical boat trip. Highly recommended, it's only 2€per person. You feel like you are in the tropical rainforest, and the sound of nature is unbelievable. There is a small tree bridge to walk above to see overall of this jungle. Also a nice restaurant for you to sit and relax and be with nature hearing birds and other animals. Other parts of the zoo are very nice too, especially the big restaurant where you can see the animals walking around you.

Leipzig Zoo wasn't just a zoo visit, it was a tropical escape! The meticulously landscaped tropical gardens transported me to rainforests teeming with life. The boat trip for 2 euros was an absolute must, offering a tranquil journey.
While food options were limited. Though I missed the vibrant world of parrots, the aquarium was a stunning spectacle.
Overall, Leipzig Zoo was a diverse and exciting adventure, especially for those who love the tropics. The tropical gardens were the star, offering a unique and immersive experience. Highly recommended!

Leipzig Hauptbahnhof is a monstrous train station with over 300 meters of facade, and it's also home to a number of shops, cafes, and grocery markets. The station is one of the largest in the world by floor area, making it an ideal spot for shopping.
Leipzig Hauptbahnhof is a bustling transportation hub that seamlessly blends historic architecture with modern amenities. Its impressive design, efficient layout, and numerous shops and restaurants make it a convenient and enjoyable place to travel through. However, it can get quite busy at peak times, so be prepared for crowds. Overall, it's a well-maintained and functional station that serves as a gateway to Leipzig and beyond.

So far the nicest Bahnhof I've seen in Germany, always busy with people passing through and people just coming to shop. As it houses so many great stores to shop in over 3 levels with so many things to see and amazing food options. You can't come to leipzig without seeing it as it is the main train station. Even made more lovely around Christmas or as they say Weinachten, as lots more food stalls open up.

A most remarkable place to visit that tells the story of a passage of history that must never be forgotten and not be allowed to be repeated.
It remains a concept of the utmost difficulty to conceive, that fifteen men could get together for a meeting the outcome of which was the "final solution".
Our visit was made all the more poignant by a missed phone call I had during our visit: it was from a friend, a gentleman in his 90s who left Vienna in the late 1930's on the kindertransport.

The display was well explained and very well organised.
One can use the free show (which we were told was more updated compared to their audioguide) and was it well made!
The stories of the Jewish victims will surely give one the chills.
I would surely like to know more such displays to understand the psyche of the perpetrators and the plight of the victims.
Must visit!
The staff deserves a shout-out for being great hosts!

If you’ve seen the film “Conspiracy” starring Kenneth Branagh, then this house is a must-see!
Aside from that, it’s off the beaten path, but easy enough to get to by train from Berlin. There’s a bus that shuttles from the station to the house every fifteen minutes or so, I’d highly recommend taking it.
You can expect to spend about an hour here. Easy enough to make it a stop on your way to Potsdam.

This was a really great little preservation museum. It's incredibly difficult to make an engaging museum or if entirely text and no physical non-document material, but they did a good job. The main exhibition was very good, and the design was clever and we'll executed, particularly the room in which the conference was actually held. The gorgeous scenery of Wansee doesn't detract from the intensity of the history there, in fact, it almost makes it more real, seeing how beautiful the town and views are. Of course this is where such high ranking officials would meet. In addition, the temporary exhibition on rescued library materials in the upstairs was very nice. I didn't have the time or inclination to do any reading it research in the library upstairs, but it all seemed accessible and well preserved. It's odd to rate such things, but for a small museum preserving the memory of one monumental event, you couldn't do much better.
