The ultimate experience was buying all the chocolates 🍫 ❤️ we could fit in our carry-ons. The staff is do warm and friendly. This is a must-do when visiting Switzerland.

Visiting this Literal Chocolate Factory was an incredible experience and I definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to this part of the world. It was a very enlightening and memorable tour through time on the history of cocoa. I recommend bringing 3.5mm headphones to plug into the story teller thing. That way you’re not holding it up like a phone the entire time. But besides that everything was incredible and the chocolate was delicious!
Carlos Ariel Then (Mr. Then) — Google review
Interesting tour of a chocolate factory. It's really more of a show that you walk through. It tells the story of chocolate and of the company. It's a dramatisation with sound effects, sets, and special lighting. It was not crowded the day we went but they are well equipped to handle big crowds. There's a mini factory set up at the end of the show. There's also chocolate tasting at the end. A delicious way to end our tour.

We didn't go round the museum, instead we did a chocolate workshop which was amazing. The incredible multilingual chocolatier showed us how to make and decorate delicious bar and shaped chocolate of our choice then it was our turn. My bar and teddy bear efforts weren't as good as his but every bit as delicious! I would heartily recommend this experience to anyone young or old - it's great fun for all ages.

This is a great stop to see in Switzerland! It is like entering the real world Charlie and the Chocolate Factory if it was filmed in the modern era. You go room to room exploring the history of chocolate and the development of the Cailler brand. You sample chocolate and flavors along the way. Absolutely a must see and must try place!

Visited cailler chocolate factory during my visit to Switzerland. They have a walk through presentation on how chocolate is evolved & manufactured from the time. It's very good to go through their process. Had tasted all their chocolates samples after that. Chocolates are really good. Bought different chocolates at their factory outlet after the visit at good price. Liked the visit. Kids enjoy a lot .

Wonderful place in the town of Gruyere to learn about Cailler Chocolates. They have a 30 min tour filled with amazing (and sometimes horrifying) stories about how chocolate was found in the world and how it became such an integral part of our lives. You also get to taste so much chocolate throughout the tour with the only condition being not to take the samples outside the tour area.
The price of admission was 15 CHF per person but it was absolutely worth it. Must visit, particularly if you have kids, who will enjoy this experience a lot.
You can finally also do some Chocolate shopping at the end of the tour. The best thing about these chocolates is that Cailler doesn't use any palm oil in their chocolates, only cocoa butter, which is so much better for you and the world.

Better than I could have expected!!!
Maison Cailler Chocolat Tour provides an amazing experience for both adults and kids - the tour is magical and well set, there are hearing kits with a variety of languages, you get to point and pick what you’re gonna hear next. Super interesting.
Price about 11€ per adult.
There’s the opportunity to smell and taste the chocolates - it’s lovely.
At the end of the tour there’s a gift shop with awesome products and some “sales” items.
The parking is great and super close to the facilities.

This was awesome! A complete tour explaining the entire history of chocolate (in a fun not so boring way). You also get to see them making it. Virtually unlimited chocolate samples! And the hot chocolate at the cafe was truly incredible!

Unfortunately, we were not able to visit the factory because we did not purchase tickets in advance. We found that the queue could take more than two and a half hours.
We sat in the restaurant lounge and had some desserts. It was really delicious. We bought fresh chocolate and the coffee-flavored chocolate tasted amazing.
The outside seating area is very nice and provides space for the kids to play and have fun.
Really great experience. Don’t forget to purchase your tickets before you go 😊

I think this is the most enjoyable tour imaginable. It was fun for adults and kids alike. We laughed out loud a good few times! It was great to learn the history of the place. Very generous tasting at the end of the tour and great gift selection. The personalized gift boxes - fantastic idea, we had to stock up. The cafe was excellent, with fast service, with tasty treats.
You could smell the chocolate for hundreds of meters!
Monika Rumpf — Google review
Overall a good experience. We were a little sceptical following some reviews here, however we were happy after visiting. You need to buy tickets on a specific time slot. When we were there it was really empty, so no problem. But I think it is worth buying tickets online in advance if you want to visit during peak season. You will get an audio guide (many languages are available) and have first a guided tour which is around 15-20 minutes with some historical information. After this you can go by yourself and explore the rest of the stations. There are several stations where you can taste some chocolate. You can eat as much as you want but it should only be eaten there and not taken home. It's not that big but it's worth a visit. Don't expect to see a lot from production. There is only a production line shown and the rest is not really there. There is a shop which is a little pricey compared to other stores where you get the same products. Big free parking available within a 2-3min walk.

I visited the factory in 2017. I took the chocolate train from Montreaux.
I had the opportunity to see how the manufacturing process of a legitimate Swiss chocolate is and also to taste and buy the products that exist there.
This visit is worth it !

This was a neat walkthrough experience with a good mix of history and factory. There was a ton of free chocolate/nuts on the tour and the tour was offered in numerous languages by individual audio controls. You can see the languages in the attached pictures. I highly recommend if you’re staying in the area or passing through. Kids and adults will enjoy!

Great outing for a family! The tour is very accessible and tells the story of the company's history, takes visitors through the factory to watch chocolates be made, and finishing off with a tasting room where visitors can try delicious, fresh chocolates.
Marisa Raymond — Google review
A great place to visit and learn about the history of Swiss chocolate. Interesting narration. Some parts are interactive and at the end we could taste all different types of mass produced chocolates. It’s best to book a time beforehand as we had to wait 1 hour before we could enter.
V v — Google review
Absolutely outstanding experience! Our tour was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Not only did we enjoy a delightful journey through the history of chocolate making, but we were also treated to delectable samples at the conclusion of the tour. I cannot speak highly enough of this experience - it's a must for any chocolate lover visiting Switzerland!
Booking tickets online is highly recommended due to the limited time slots available. With only 20 people permitted per 20-minute session, securing your spot in advance ensures you won't miss out on this extraordinary opportunity.
This visit truly stands out as one of the most worthwhile experiences in Switzerland. As the oldest chocolate manufacturer in the country still utilizing milk instead of milk powder in their chocolate production, the heritage and quality of the chocolates here are unparalleled. Don't hesitate to make this part of your itinerary - you won't regret it!
Kohulan Rajan — Google review
We paid for a tour here, which was not given to us because of a mishap (technically, several mishaps) with the tour company. Do not buy tours through Tours of Switzerland (booked through Get your Guide). Incredibly disappointing.
The place is lovely from the outside and the hot chocolate is delicious though. Hence, 2 stars instead of 1.

Ok this was FUN!!!! I felt like a kid. Chocolate express train picked me up and dropped me off right at factory. I bought tickets at the booth, no line and no wait for the tour. You get a radio according to your language. Then the tour begins!!!
Loved the tour, chocolate process and the SAMPLES! I ate more than I should, but they were yummy.
Bought some chocolate souvenirs on my way out! 🍫

I’ve had the chance to visit the museum, but what I loved the most was the experience of making chocolate for about an hour. I would 100% recommended as it is very worth it for just 25 Swiss Francs

The experience was really nice and unforgettable , the tour includes a joyful brief of the history of chocolate.
The chocolate tasting is just amazing but in matter of comparison , I would definitely recommend Lindt factory.
Lindt quality and varieties are way better than Cailler.
Lindt factory is more far in matter of distance from Genèva, but it definitely worth the visit and highly recommended over Cailler

Excellent experience! Tour was great. You get to try samples at the end. Couldn’t recommend enough.
Mind you, the chocolate itself is 5 star. Wish it was sold directly in Australia!
Bern Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its arcaded walkways, fountains, and Switzerland's tallest cathedral. This captivating area holds the lesser-known fact that Albert Einstein once resided here with his spouse in a third-floor apartment, which has now been transformed into a museum showcasing an authentic replica of the renowned physicist's home.
A single word is needed here: Lovely. One of the best towns in Switzerland, possibly in the central Europe. YOU DO WANNA VISIT BERN, trust me.

The capital of Switzerland has a very atmospheric and cultural atmosphere. I want to feel the local tranquil atmosphere here. The ancient city is also very amazing. 👍It doesn’t feel like the capital. Walking here and enjoying the shopping experience It’s a good time in the morning. 👍The nearby scenery is also very impressive. There are also many scenic spots that you can go for a walk. It’s a very distinctive capital. It’s a pity that it was cloudy when I went to Bern that day, but I think I’ll save it for the next time I go to Bern. Come and enjoy this beautiful ancient city again if you have the opportunity!👍👍

Overall the city was beautiful. I went on a Monday and many shops are closed that day. The good news was, my guess, fewer people the bad news is there were some great shops that had displays that could not purchase. My guess is 50% of the shops or greater was closed. I truly enjoyed the shops that were open!

The Bern's Old Town is the No.1 Must See Place when you go to Bern. I admit that I had doubts before I came here but then, I fully understood why this old town had become a world's heritage! Its calmness, medieval buildings, streets, fountains, & the beautiful & elegant clock towers, have made this Old Town be possibly the most pretty Historic Town in Switzerland!
Tips: It's easy to get here from the Bern's Station too, just look up & follow one of the clock towers.
(Please note that the picture showed as the caption in Google's UNESCO Von Bern is actually the Zetgloge Clock Tower, which is an ancient landmark from the 13th century.)
Kenny Kenny — Google review
Bern being the capital of Switzerland is an ancient city. Has many historical buildings and scenic lookouts. You have to stay within the city limits to enjoy the sites as they are accessible via light rail. Book a hotel near to the city centre and use the light rail and buses to get around. First time visitors get a free pass within the 2 city zones. Rent a car and travel to Zurich and Geneva to enjoy the alps and historic towns. Busy during the summer. The cost of food etc are very expensive here specially being the capital. Good only if you’re into scenery and historical buildings.

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

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

A lovely little old town that we stopped by for just a day on our travels. We didnt get a chance to do anything but in about 4 hours we felt like we had seen everything that bern has to offer.
Its worth it to atleast once walk up towards the rose garden to the east as you can then really see over all of bern. There are pretty streets, sculputers and building all over. Apparently the fountain water is also drinkable.

Schilthorn, a tall mountain in Switzerland, can be reached by either cable car or hiking. The cable car station is conveniently located near the landing spot for paragliding, and Swiss Travel Pass holders can ride the cable car for free upon presentation of their tickets. At the summit of Schilthorn stands a revolving restaurant that was featured in a James Bond movie. This must-visit destination offers spectacular views and dining experiences amidst stunning natural surroundings.
One of the best, less crowded mountains in Suisse. The views are amazing and also has a good piece of Bond history. Take public transport to reach here. The place is surrounded by amazingly breathtaking views as far as the eyes can see. Stand there and soak in the amazing views. Lovely experience and cannot be forgotten. Do have some snacks and hot coffee as well.

The view was great, I could just sit for hours and watch the scenery
Even tho it didn't snow when I was visiting it was still really cold.
The 007 museum was fairly small but still interesting if you enjoyed the movie and are a big fan. For me the main point was yhe outside.
The 360 restaurant was very enjoyable and not to packed. We got a table on the moving platform and experience the entire view, a quarter was clouds but the rest was breathtaking.
I didn't eat but enjoyed the coffee and hot chocolate with friends and it was great.
A place I would visit again for the view but not the museum

Check the webcams before going up to make sure its not drowned in clouds. If its clear, the cost of the pricey ticket is worth it as the views both on the way up and from the top are stunning. Really on top of the world if you go outside. There's also a walkway around the cliffs which includes a glass section of wire tunnel for thrill seekers.

Visited: 1st June 2023
Journey starts from Stechelberg to Murren then up to Birg, finally last ascend to Schilthorn.
Take time and enjoy the view in each stop before reaching the Schilthorn.
I went for a short walk in Murren, spent some time in a cafe having a cup of hot chocolate and Rhubarb pie, enjoying mountain views while eating. Once filled up my stomach head up to next station Birg, weather was cold, windy and misty in Birg but we able to see surrounding mountains. The thrill walk and skyline walk was closed during our trip. The final station was Schilthorn. The cable car ascending to Schilthorn was truly awesome. The 360 degree mountain views from Schilthorn really amazing. Bring layers and hand gloves as the weather up there can go below freezing level.
Spy world and cinema is free of charge.
Vwarane SR (Vicky) — Google review
Views, views and more views! A great attraction in the Swiss Alps that’s paired with the Birg Thrill Walk along the way. Extremely cold up there so be prepared to bring a jacket (thickness depending on time of year). I wore a lighter down winter jacket that was adequate for the climate but still got quite cold. Views of the big 3 mountains are a solid 10/10 and you also get a great view of Lake Thun. The journey up is the same route taken by those skiing/snowboarding, so be prepared to get stuffed into a cable car like a can of sardines on your way up. The descent down provides a more spacious ride devoid of the winter sports enthusiasts. Also included at Schilthorn is a fun 360 degree revolving restaurant and general rest area for a nice break to take in the views and use the washroom. Prices are a bit brazen as they were charging about 9 francs for a cup of instant noodles so I recommend bringing your own picnic snacks/lunch. Another fun attraction is the James Bond exhibit as this is the location for one of its older movie shoots, “Her Majesty…”. The exhibit includes a cool helicopter and bobsled exhibit that’s open for use by the public. A cherry on top for those James Bonds fanatics out there. Met a local couple from the town of Thun playing hooky from work while there kids were in school on this weekday morning. A kind and warm couple who proceeded to shred the slopes after hopping over the fence barricade we assumed was not accessible. The Swiss are definitely built different!

We drove and park the car at Stechelberg station, we have to ride/transfer 4 cable cars to go top of Schilthorn.
We experienced from warm and sunny to cold and snow on the way, full filled with snow and glacier on the mountain. Also can over see another 3 famous mountains from Schilthorn.
James Bond 007 also film in here before.
Pay attention if there is altitude sickness happened when you are on the top of summit, just slow down and take a rest. Because it happened to me.
Diana Hsieh — Google review
A cable car leaves from the top every 30 minutes and you need to stop at 3 different stations to get to the top and every stop has its speciality or attraction that you can visit and take pictures around. There is a restaurant at the top and Bond world. The tickets are a bit expensive for this but it is worth it and there is a 50% discount for switzerland bus pass holders but do read about it on their website as this might change.

Schilthorn, towering at 2,970 meters, is a majestic mountain in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland. Accessible by cable car, it offers panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. The highlight is the Piz Gloria revolving restaurant, featured in a James Bond film, providing a 360-degree panorama.

Should you happen to be a James Bond aficionado, this place should be on your bucket list, as it served as a filming location for 'On Her Majesty’s Secret Service'. Having been immortalized as the headquarters of Bond's arch-nemesis Blofeld, the 'Piz Gloria' nowadays hosts a revolving restaurant and is complemented by a charming spy world exhibition on the premises that's truly worth a visit. 🕵️♂️
And for all those out there who aren't Bond enthusiasts: The Schilthorn's dominant presence at 2,970 meters in the Swiss Alps still promises a cinematic experience, boasting a 360-degree view of its stunning Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau sister peaks! Also, don't miss the thrilling skyline walk above the Schildhorn's vertical abys! 🏔️

The price of your ticket was worth it on a clear September morning. Check for a discount if you are the first to ride in the morning. It is cold on top. The 007 area was lame and fun at the same time. Use poles if you plan a descending hike.

The place where 007 movie was filmed. Took train from Interlaken Ost to Lauterbrunnen, change to bus 141 to the cable car station. And then took 4 cable car rides to reach the top. 50% discount for Swiss pass holders. Can see Jungfraujoch from here. Nice views, some easy walk on top. Worth a visit if you’ve got extra time in Interlaken.

The revolving Piz Gloria restaurant is a highlight, allowing you to dine while taking in the ever-changing scenery. The James Bond connection (featured in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service") adds a fun element to the visit.
Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a movie buff, or simply seeking unparalleled alpine vistas, Schilthorn delivers on all fronts. Don't miss this gem when in Switzerland! The revolving restaurant offers different views throughout your meal, so every moment is Instagram-worthy.
Schilthorn and Piz Gloria Restaurant are a must-visit for anyone exploring the Swiss Alps. It's a memory I'll cherish forever, and I can't recommend it enough. Even though it's one of the expensive cable cars of Switzerland, I would recommend not to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime experience! 🏔️🍽️ #Schilthorn #PizGloria #SwissAlps #BreathtakingViews

Beautiful scenery as far as you can imagine. 2970 meter above sea level, temperature was about 10°C. Dogs can come along without a carrying bag. Prices are 216 CHF for 2 persons, but it's worth every penny!

A very expensive cable car trip from the valley, but absolutely worth it. The views of the mountain peaks are spectacular. I only briefly visited the James Bond museum, since I don’t remember the Lazenby movie very well. Didn’t eat at the restaurant either, but it looked okay and the prices weren’t outrageous.
The Musée National de l'Automobile - Collection Schlumpf is the largest automobile collection in the world, located in Mulhouse. This grand museum showcases over 450 classic European cars, including 120 Bugattis, all tracing the history of automobiles back to their early days. The exhibition features 400 vintage, prestigious, and racing cars that will fascinate car enthusiasts as well as those with a general interest in automotive history.
Really impressive collection of cars from the beginning of the car history. If you are a fan of old cars especially Bugatti then this Museum is a must visit. They also have a small track where you can drive some classics for a fee.

Fantastic place! Watching it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. In a huge hall, hundreds of cars in beautiful condition. From the beginning of driving, you can find a lot of models here, looking at some of them, a frame from a movie comes to mind. We'll come back again, because it's a full-day program if someone wants to watch it more thoroughly.

A car collection like none other. It's a step back in time - and yet has one of the greatest new cars ever made on display. The classic/supercar driving at the end is a brilliant addition, too!
David Campbell — Google review
Despite not being a car enthusiast in any way, I absolutely loved this museum. There are vehicles spanning from carriages to formula 1, as well as lots of Bugattis. I would have liked to read more info about the vehicles, they only have a sort description. And more information about the founders of the collection would have been useful. I read up about them after my visit but their story could have been presented better in the museum. You can easily spend hours going round here.

This is an impressive collection of cars. There are a few fun hands-on activities as well plus a roll over simulator. There is a collection of children's pedal cars as well, which my children enjoyed. I am not a car fan by any means, but I enjoyed the museum.

Jaw dropping. The sheer number and range of vehicles is amazing. Quite a privilege to see the early models, and with good descriptions. But also the other categories, through the decades, as well as top end models and racing cars.

I don't visit museums that often, but this one is worthy of all the admiration. Great exposition, excellent descriptions for each car and really collected a huge number of exhibits
I will say right away - that allocate 2,5-3 hours to visit.
I was pleasantly surprised by the presence of a restaurant on the territory and a cool event after the end (the event is held on the territory of the museum every Sunday).

Absolutely stunning collection of mainly Pre War Classics with an outstanding number of Bugatti Cars, but also some other classics can be seen.The space is arranged very well with no unnecessary stuff , we enjoyed the walk through the building.
The only downside is the missing ability to get something to eat in the afternoon, a small bistro menu with fries, Cake, Crepe or Baguette would be a great addition.

The Musée National de l'Automobile in Mulhouse is well worth a visit for every car enthusiast. So many beautiful examples of automobiles from the very beginning of car manufacturing until the late 1970ies. Maybe the biggest collection of Bugatti in the world. Amazing! We were lucky and there were not too many people there so it was perfect to take pictures. I would like to go again. Or go to an event where the old racecards are really driven. Extraordinary!

Huge museum but seems stuck in time pre 1980. Some important early cars in here especially Bugatti and others and interestingly includes a modern day Veyron. Vast majority of the collection is very old and either early cars or from 1930s, 40s and 50s when obviously the collection was being assembled. Some really interesting cars too from micro to pedal cars, clangers like the Aston Martin Lagonda, Ferrari 512 and some fun hands-on things for kids. Very cold inside the day we visited and could have been heated. Parking outside is 2euro an hour.

With one word - it is an extraordinary museum! If you are a car enthusiastic, or someone who is into mechanical designs and engines, you should definitely see this place.
The open gallery is very well prepared for a great exhibition according to years with brief, but attention taking descriptions and stories. The collection is one of a kind with very unique and rare cars.
And the idea of "Car lost in the Nature" is truly beautiful. We paid €18.00 for an adult ticket without waiting in the line on a Friday afternoon.
Özge Abanoz — Google review
The collection is downright fantastic. It's incredible to see that many old cars, all the way to the 1890s, all in perfect operating condition. Fun activities as well (packing a boot to the brim, manually starting an old car...).
Beware of the cold, however, if you visit in winter. The exhibition hall has no heating at all anymore (due to electricity prices). I visited on a freezing day and while it was above zero indoors it wasn't a lot higher!
The bar also isn't particularly remarkable and has a tendency to close early (4:30 is too late already).
All in all, pick a sunny day, go early enough, and you'll have a blast!

My visit to the Mulhouse Automobile Museum was an absolute delight! From the moment we stepped in, the friendly staff members Charlotte and Lauris made us feel welcome. The museum itself is a treasure trove, boasting hundreds of classic vehicles and racing cars. Each exhibit is a masterpiece, but the Bugattis stole the show, giving me goosebumps! Spending the morning with Olly, reminiscing about his childhood and cars, was a highlight. I highly recommend a visit, but don't forget to wear warm clothes, as it can get chilly in March. Be prepared to do a lot of walking, as the place is huge. Overall, a fantastic experience that I'll cherish forever!

I forgot to make a mention for the guy at the bar counter inside the museum. I never saw a guy so crazy like him. You can talk to him and he still doing his job, don't answer to you, give you his shoulders and don't care what you ask to him. I asked for a plastic bottle of water, I showed him a translation in French and he stills no answers and doing his own!!! Very very very rude!! I think it will be good to change your staff
Basel Minster is a famous Protestant Gothic style church with twin spires and a tiled roof built in the 9th century. It is located on Munsterhugel, the highest point in Basel, and is easily spotted by its prominent spires and brightly patterned roof tiles.
One of the most iconic landmark in Basel that you have to see. If you are brave enough to climb to the top of the tower, you will be rewarded by the breathtaking view of the city across the Rhine. And if you look further, you can even see across the French and German country border. Even if you don't have the strength to climb atop of it's tower, the cathedral has an ornate interior as well as a monastery with courtyard right next to the cathedral.

One of the most beautiful churches i have ever seen. Loved the painted glass and the columns, the ceiling and arches.The entrance is free but if you want to go up to the tower you have to pay 6 CHF. And you will want to go to one of the towers, because the view to the river and the city is breathtaking. I never miss this part anywhere, and now i wasn't dissapointed. You will not regret it.

Hey, the tower is an absolute must-visit! The views are absolutely jaw-dropping, giving you the perfect overview of the city. Plus, the ticket prices are a steal compared to other towers in Europe. But hey, here's a tip: don't tackle the climb solo. Some parts of the tower can get pretty spooky with darkness, and those stairs? They're high and narrow, like something out of a medieval adventure! So grab a buddy you trust and make a day of it. Exploring the tower will easily fill up an hour of your time, but remember, it shuts down at 4 pm sharp. So get there early to soak in all the views and enjoy the breeze!

Basel Minster is a free to enter church located at the heart of the city. It's also the location of the Basel Autumn festival and Christmas markets. It's a stunning Gothic cathedral, stands as an architectural marvel. You can buy tickets to go up the cathedral's tower to experience panoramic views of Basel and the Rhine River. Its timeless beauty and cultural significance make it a jewel in Switzerland's heritage and a true testament to Gothic architecture's grandeur.

Basel Monastery is located in Basel, Switzerland and is one of the city's major tourist attractions. The monastery is on the Swiss national heritage list. The monastery, which was originally built for the Catholic Church, was transferred to the Protestant Church after the Reformation. The building, which was influenced by Romanex architecture and Gothic architecture between 1019 and 1500, was destroyed in the 1356 Basel Earthquake and was rebuilt by Johannes Gmünd, the architect of the Freiburg Monastery, and completed by Ulrich Ensingen in 1421. The south tower was completed by Hans von Nußdorf in 1500.
When you go to Basel, you should definitely see this place and the Palatinate (Palatinate) Viewing Platform next to it.

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

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

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

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

Picturesquare views from the top. Price from Kulm to Pilatus and back was 62 CHF, but it really pays off. I was at the beginning of march, aby 0 degrees on top, and wind.

The view from the pick is absolutely stunning! The round trip ticket with the cable car cost 78 CHF. I went on Sunday so the line for taking the gondola was huge. I waited 30-40 min in the line despite the fact that I had an online ticket purchased before.
You should consider 2-3 hours at the peak of the mountain. There are several points to eat, souvenir
and Swiss watches shops and restaurants.
Don't forget to wear comfy clothes and shoes, otherwise it will be difficult to hike.
The Chapel Bridge in Lucerne is a wooden bridge that spans the Reuss River. It is one of the oldest covered bridges in Europe, and it is named after nearby St. Peter's Chapel. The octagonal water tower, built in the early 14th century, is the city's most photographed landmark.
Beautiful place for sightseeing. The old wooden bridge has a sad history but pretty to look at. One can easily roam the entire city and admire the old Town architecture.
The lake has many swans and ducks swimming, it's very cute. Do take a walk in the bridge.

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

Better still, if you're heading to the Gotthard Panorama Express, catch the paddle steamer all the way to Fluelen, a trip of about 2.75 hours and the scenery just gets better and better (have your camera ready). If that is what you are doing, then you can book your luggage through to the train at the departure point in Luzern, so you don't have to worry about carrying it on board.

Best place to be visited during all season. Super combination of mountains along with lakes and also boat rides makes it complete package.

Sailed from Lucerne to Flüelen on the Uri, Europe's oldest paddle steamer. The 100 year old boat is in the best possible conditions and offers all amenities with a flair of the grand old times. The panoramic boat ride lasts around 2:45 h, in early October there was a fresh breeze so bring warm cloth if you plan to stay outside. The upper deck is beautifully sunny, but other areas more wind protected. The morning fog soon lifted and views opened, so don't be deterred if the morning looks gloomy. The restaurant serves food and drink, but nobody minds if you bring your own either. Indoors there are information panels and one can watch the steam engine in full action. It looks as shiny and new as it started operations yesterday, not 100 years ago.

Lake Lucerne is surrounded by beautiful mountains, picturesque villages and the Old town which makes the cruise through the lake an enjoyable experience.
We took the boat from Luzern Bahnhofquai to Kehrsiten - Burgenstock and back which took around an hour.
The trip was very relaxing. You can immerse yourself in the calmness of lake Lucerne and enjoy the sights of the floating swans, the majestic snow covered mountains, the green meadows with village houses popping up and the regal structures of the Old town.

One of the most beautiful spots on earth Lake Lucerne us a must in one's bucket list when they visit Switzerland 🇨🇭. A simple joy ride by the numerous boats is so relaxing or an adventure trip back from Mount Pilatus via the lake is so beautiful to carry as memory. The lake is the lifeline of this beautiful city.

Lake Lucerne is a lake in central Switzerland and the fourth largest in the country.Several spa and bathing resorts such as Weggis or Gersau are available here,Different sports are possible in some separate areas due to the water and wind conditions. The lake is accessible from boat and yacht harbors, to lake resorts and pools. There are about ten places where you can dive without a boat in Lake Lucerne. The water is rather chilly all year round and therefore mostly very clear

We took the train from Zurich to Lucerne. It was a beautiful summer day, and I was wearing my favorite cotton high-top shoes. From Lucerne, we boarded a boat that crossed the lake toward Alpnachstad station. From there, we would take the train up the mountain to the top. Lake Lucerne shimmered in the bright sunlight as we sliced through the crystalline waves. While I twisted in my seat to get a better look at the landscape, I shifted my feet, turning them left, then right. My ankles were sore, but I couldn’t figure out why.

The Freiburg Cathedral is a beautiful, iconic Gothic cathedral located in the heart of Freiburg, Germany. The building dates back to 1200 and features stunning lacy spires, cheeky gargoyles, and intricate entrance portal. The cathedral is decorated with a large number of artistic details, making it an excellent place to enjoy the view. There are also restaurants and stores along the street.
Very detailed cathedral, I can watch it for hours and find more and more things. Surrounded by the small local market with flowers, fruits, sausages (highly recommend to try one, very tasty stuff!), wooden goods, etc. Don’t forget to see the cathedral inside. It worth it, trust me. Reminds me the famous Strasbourg cathedral, but a smaller version of it. One love ❤️

Oh man, where do I start? I love pipe organs and this cathedral has a huge pipe organ divided into three parts. If you visit the place, they to find the three pieces, it's awesome. I'd love to see it being played but I didn't have the chance yet. Beautiful place.

Absolutely stunning cathedral in Freiburg. I absolutely love visiting places of worship as they bring such a feeling of calm and reverence. This cathedral welcomes all, to respect those worshipping. Beautiful stained glass windows and high ceilings! The Reliquary of Saint Lambertus (635-705), Bishop of Maastricht and patron saint of Freiburg gold statue is here for viewing, completed in 1514 by the goldsmith, and set up in 1779 on an older base from 1468.

Very Beautiful Cathedral in the town of Freiburg im Breisgau. This town is at the edge of the famous Black Forest area.
There are lot of hotels to stay very close to the Freiburger Munster, in and around the square. When we stayed for a night, the square around the Munster was occupied by a wonderful Christmas market, where you could get excellent food (including vegan options), and nice artisanal items. This place is also close to the Swiss border from Basel.

This church is worth a visit. They do hold masses in German which was a challenge but it gave me an opportunity to see it as it was meant to be seen. We were told it was only structure spared during the war. Romanesque and Gothic architecture.

Freiburg Cathedral, since 1200s. Some interesting facts about this masterpiece. It’s actual foundation is based on a church started in 1120s, in line with that in 2020, Freiburg celebrated in 900 years Anniversary. Only Gothic church in Germany dating back to Middle Ages, which survived wars and still smiling.
Out of 16 bells, the oldest dating back to 1258, oldest Angelus bell in Germany. It took 300+ years to realize this dream. The church is surrounded with market on weekdays, called as Münster market which brings local produce for sale. This tradition has been here since Freiburg wrote its name in history. So, a visit to the market is a different vibe. Can you go the church tower. Of course. 300+ steps will take you to the top of church tower base, where you can enjoy panoramic view of Blackforest and the city. Best time is Autumn during sunset. Check closing time before the visit. The church tower Entrance ( Münsterturm) is outside the church on left side.
Wish you beautiful day.

Lovely cathedral with amazing architecture right at the heart of Freiburg. Entry is free. We loved visiting it from the inside and walking along its perimeter to admire the different gargoyles. Must visit when in Freiburg.

A must visit place if you are in Freiburg. It's a nice slice of history, architecture and it's right in the market place. It is a pretty big cathedral and very quiet inside that gave us the opportunity to spend some time for a quiet prayer. The columns inside and the height of the ceiling is a reminder of all the great architecture done in the times before us.
The stained glass windows are a view to take in and enjoy the art work and story.
The market around the cathedral offers plenty to eat, drink and shop. We tried the hot cider and would definitely recommend it. The vegan/tofu option was not fitting my taste but it was ok.

A spectacular cathedral, right in downtown and surrounded by some beautiful old buildings. The entrance is free, and the environment inside is darkish and quiet. The glass windows are beautiful, and the shafts of light coming in are amazing. The ceiling has lovely textures, so do look up. It is nice to take a moment to sit and take in the calm. It is also lovely to walk around on the outside and notice the stone carvings.
Uetliberg is a mountain peak in the city of Zurich, Switzerland with stunning panoramic views of the surrounding area. The hiking trails up to the peak are well known and loved by locals and tourists alike for their beauty and peace. In the afternoon, you can take a Limmat River Cruise through Zurich's Old Town (Altstadt) to see sights beyond mere terrestrial reality.
One of the most beautiful views of Zürich. It’s a 1 km trek after getting down from the train but make sure to have strong grip shoes to trek as there’s a lot of ice which might be difficult to walk through

We were lucky to get a little bit of snow during the night. Once we got there early in the morning we still could see some flakes on the trees.
This place has stunning views and it is very easy to reach by train or by one of the several hiking trails available.
At the top you have a hotel, restaurant and toilets are available.
Highly recommend.

We hiked approximately 11.5 miles roundtrip from Zurich City Center to Uetliberg. It was worth the visit and had amazing views of the city and the alps along the way.

My visit to Uetliberg in Zurich was an absolute delight that left me rejuvenated and in awe of nature's beauty. This serene mountain getaway is a must-visit for anyone seeking breathtaking views and a tranquil escape from the bustling city life.
The journey to Uetliberg was an adventure in itself. The well-marked trails and picturesque surroundings made the hike enjoyable even for novice hikers like me. As I ascended, I was treated to ever-expanding panoramas of the city and the surrounding landscape. The sight of Lake Zurich and the distant Alps was truly a feast for the eyes.
Upon reaching the summit, I was greeted by a panoramic view that took my breath away. The observation tower provided a 360-degree vantage point, allowing me to soak in the beauty of Zurich from a bird's-eye perspective. The vibrant colors of the changing seasons only added to the allure of the landscape.
Uetliberg is also a haven for nature enthusiasts. The well-maintained trails are perfect for hiking, jogging, and even mountain biking. I encountered a diverse range of flora and fauna along the way, making it a great spot for photography and wildlife observation.
The tranquility of Uetliberg is truly remarkable. The serene atmosphere and fresh mountain air provided a much-needed escape from the daily grind. It's a place where you can disconnect from technology and immerse yourself in the beauty of the natural world.
Whether you're a nature lover, an adventure seeker, or simply looking for a peaceful retreat, Uetliberg has something to offer. It's a gem that showcases the harmony between urban and natural landscapes. My experience here was nothing short of magical, and I highly recommend Uetliberg to anyone looking for an unforgettable outdoor experience in Zurich.

Been at the top a couple of times already. The hike is not strenuous and it gives partial views of the Alps, which is super nice. We usually do the hike from the city center and that takes about one hour and a half.
At the top, you can buy beer and use the restroom. The views from up there are spectacular.

Very cool viewpoint over Zurich and the lake. When the weather is clear enough you see the mountains far away.
Some food is there, a bit pricey, but well, they know that a bunch of people come hungry to the top.
Some places to sit and chill are there also.
It’s about 500m up from Zurich city, and you have several kind of paths leading up, so there’s a bit for everyone. And if yours lazy or tired or unfit, you can also come by train!

A great place to see Zurich and Alps from the height. We’ve made a hike up there (from hbf and it’s very exhausting) and it was kind of a Swiss weekend experience for us. Up there there are a lot of spaces to see and enjoy the view.
In winter it was also a Christmas market still so you can enjoy some drinks and food.
The aperol is for 14,5 CHF and the tea for 4,5, the Raclette was delicious for 15 CHF.
Go up the the view tower and enjoy 360 view of surroundings - windy but totally worth it.

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

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

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

The most conspicuous building in Strasbourg. It’s full of beauty and historical charm. There are lots things to see - external decorations, climbing to the top to have a great view of the city, internal decorations and carpets. Finally there is the Astronomical clock inside. The history of the cathedral reflects the history of the city which is breathtaking. In front of the church you can find lots of Noel markets in the holiday season in winter.

So many storks and nests. It is absolutely worth it to watch this amazing place and read about this incredible bird. Also there is a nice garden with flowers there!

A classic park with interesting vistas, wonderful open spaces surrounded by mature trees. Even a boating lake. As an extra draw there is a comprehensive zoo, and in the right season nesting storks. Play areas for kids too. We'll worth a visiting

Lovely park full of starks. It has 4 stands with coffee, ice cream, gelato and other beverages.
Across the street from the European Council.
Lovely flower arangements.

This park is a bit outside the city. Perfect for just having a drink or a small picnic by the pond maybe feed the ducks too they're extremely friendly. There was a marathon and a festival type of thing going on in the park too so check before you go

Very well maintained garden with plenty of room to explore! This place is great for an afternoon stroll or picnic. They have tons of gardens to admire as well as ponds with lots of birds. Not just for walking we saw lots of people on their bicycles enjoying the grounds! Highly recommend and will visit again!

Such a beautiful setting with some amazing trees, lake and a very relaxing atmosphere. Away from the hustle and bustle of the main town itself. Tranquility and calm can be found here. The flower beds are full of the wealth of variety performer. I would recommend this for everyone. Young and old. The parts of flat makes easy access for wheelchairs etc. Beautiful absolutely beautiful

One of the most magnificent parks that I have ever been too, if not THE most. The park itself is massive and has so much to offer. Lots of places to picnic, playgrounds, ponds and areas to boat. The flower gardens were my favorite and the storks of course! This is a must if you’re in the area. My only advice is to wear shoes/clothes you feel comfortable getting dirty because the paths aren’t paved, so it can get very dusty especially if there is a bit of wind.
One of Germany's highest waterfalls, accessed by hiking trail, plus shop & café at the bottom.
We visited in October and it was a breathtaking walk. My children loved the playground before and after we took the shortest trek up to the falls. There are restrooms at the entrance. We would love to visit again.
Kim Dobson — Google review
I highly recommend going now during the fall when the leaves are changing colors. It is absolutely stunning. There are three parking areas, two small ones at the top and the middle…with the largest at the bottom. If you want a good hike up to get the blood flowing, park at the bottom. Parking is inexpensive. Bring coins.

This waterfall I found pretty nice and not too stressful to navigate. There’s a ticket to be purchased before or at the entrance , I like that there’s various angles to view the fall and also that they have provided Benches and rest areas for people who need to take a break from all the climbing and walking. It is located in a beautiful town and is a must visit ! Loved it
Lawal Dele — Google review
I have been here a couple of times and really enjoy this beautiful town in black forest. The waterfall itself is the main attraction in the town. It's definitely worth the visit once but, the charm of the town is something else. A bus goes from Triberg station to the market area from where, you need to walk around 200 meters to reach the entrance. Check the DB app for transport information as Google maps doesn't show the bus information (at least this was the case for me, every time I visited).

This place is good to spend your evening with or without family. Its not that tough hike. There are two ways if you wish to complete the hike, one is simple way they have made who is not in mood to go breathless and other one is steep where you can shred some fats. But both the ways are not tough at all. It is worth to see this waterfall not only in summer but in winter. Since we were students we got the ticket in 7.5 € per person otherwise it is 8€ for adult. There are benches at all the level and bridge where you can stop by and relax and enjoy the view. Inside there are no counters to buy food but you can bring ur drink n food if you wish. Outside of waterfall you have lot many restaurants where you can enjoy. Its kinda tourist place so you will find international people as well. Overall it's good place to visit once at least to chill and relax.

Beautiful waterfalls! Many places to click amazing photos! The roads are big enough to walk, and you can hike alongside the majestic waterfalls! The view of the city is awesome as well! A lot you can hike up, and even though it was crowded, we had enough space to walk! Recommended!

After a long trek it's very pleasant feeling to see waterfalls, here there are several ways to trek, we can go up or down and vice versa and also different routes for going up for path finders. We have to take a ticket at the entry anyway. We will get a nice view if we see it from very bottom.

Pretty outstanding. Very accessible on paved walking paths, is it a little pricey at 7 Euros per person for access to a short hike up the trail, yes, but you are here for the experience not the low cost.
Eric Degen — Google review
A lovely place to go in summer as the water spray is cooling. At first the climb is relatively steep, but after that it winds gently through the woods. There are apparently red squirrels although I saw none, and I paddled in the higher pools in the ice cold water, which is also very welcome in the summer heat. Triberg itself is pretty, scenic and worth seeing.
Philippa L — Google review
Great day out. Entry fee of €6 I think, cash only, ATM on site but it charges €3. Need to wear hard hats, plenty of antibac wipes if needed. Route is well designed, you don't need the strongest of calf muscles but there are a lot of steps. There is a round route walk you can take once at the top of the waterfall route taking you through a forest (a long steep incline), then open countryside to a chapel, and finally down a woodland path. Route takes about 3 and half hours at a steady pace (I'm not a fast walker). The chapel has fresh running water to drink outside.

Due to winter season we were only able to do partial way that coated about 6/7 euro each.. we went in like 10min hiking for someone short,, for tall and those who hike that was about 5-7min walk.. still the waterfall was really nice and was not disappointed.. definitely would be more worth it in the summer..

My second time here. And it's just as stunning as I remember it. And made even better by the presence of the quaint little cafe at the bottom right on the river, with good food, fair prices.
If walking, hills, mountains and waterfalls are your thing, ADD THIS to your bucket list.

Beautiful waterfall with a well laid out series of paths to walk the height of the falls, taking in various views of the fast flowing water. Fairly tame red squirrel in abundance alongside other fauna.
Beware whilst these are good quality pavement-like paths they are, by necessity, very, very steep in parts!

This waterfall I found pretty nice and for that they charge €8. And we need to purchase this ticket from the entrance. The walking path, benches everything is beautifully maintained and absolutely amazing.

Gorgeous place. The green moss surrounding the waterfall makes me think at prehistoric times. I expect dinosaurs to pop out from behind the trees. The waterfall is not busy at all in winter but you might not be able to go all the way up due to ice and snow. The entrance is only 6 euro and it includes the Black Forest museum and the Triberg Fantasy.
Adriana Y — Google review
The Triberg Waterfalls in Germany's Black Forest are a captivating natural spectacle, cascading over seven tiers and dropping a total of 163 meters. The rush of water, surrounded by lush greenery, creates an immersive experience for visitors.
Trails winding through the forest provide various viewpoints, offering different perspectives of the falls. The sound of the roaring water and the mist in the air add to the enchantment of the surroundings.
Accessible to all, these falls offer a serene escape and an opportunity to immerse yourself in the raw beauty of nature. Whether seeking adventure or tranquility, the Triberg Waterfalls provide an awe-inspiring encounter with one of Germany's natural treasures.

The landscape of this area which is on the hill it’s absolutely fantastic. I receive very good energy from here, I also mouved up and down. For visiting the entire place which I hardly recommended.
Robert-Ionuț Stoicescu — Google review
I am so glad we went. If you park at the parking garage in town, the waterfalls are only a short walk up the hill. There is an entrance fee (about 8€ for grown ups) but it also includes the entrance fee to the Black Forest Museum and entrance to Triberg Fantasy. Make sure to hang on to the receipt!
There are two ways to see the falls. One easy way and one strenuous. We are both middle-aged, out of shape people, and we did the strenuous walk, no problem. There is so much to see that you will catch enough breaks. There are also different levels you can walk. Several bridges crossing the falls, giving you the chance to end your walk and walk back to the entrance. It is beautiful, and the shade is great in the summer heat.

Absolutely beautiful! It was raining so hard but it didn’t stop us from enjoying the scenery.
We came here during winter time so the weather wasn’t really that cheerful. It was wet all over the place but isn’t that slippery.
Around the area there’s many restaurants where you can eat and drink. Souvenir stores is just in every corner!

Wallfahrtstraße 4, 78098 Triberg im Schwarzwald, Germany
The 19th-century Hohenzollern Castle, atop a mountain and surrounded by turrets, houses an impressive art collection and the crown of the Prussian king. The castle belonged to the powerful Hohenzollern House of Prussia. Its grandeur is evident from miles away, with a massive silhouette that astounds visitors. Preserved interior decor allows guests to experience the opulence and elegance of old Prussia.
The fort is amazing, I've never seen anything like it! It's massive and breathtaking! The interior and the furniture inside are mostly preserved, so you can experience the old Prussian luxury and elegance. There are also endless passages and staircases, the royal treasury is a must-see, and the bastion with a collection of weapons would be interesting to any history buff. And the photos don't do it justice, you won't be prepared for the magnificent view and the gigantic castle. Definitely worth the visit, you won't regret it!

Be prepared for a lot of stairs at a steep incline. There is a shuttle bus, but it fills up. Parking was easy. Purchase tickets ahead of time online. Plenty of food, drink and ice cream options. Beautiful view.

Nice castle especially during Christmas time! Everything is decorated and so the interior is very very nice!
I found the ticket service a little bit confusing. If you want to buy your tickets online (I recommend it because it's cheaper) you have to buy a voucher first. Then you take the voucher and the long code on it and book a time slot. You must enter during this time slot (1 hour), but you can stay as long as you wish.
I think the price (23€/adult online price) is a little bit high. You will visit the courtyard, during the Christmas time there's a little food market where you can spend money as well, and the interior rooms.
You have to park your car at the carpark downhill. Then there's a shuttle bus or you can walk (about 10 minutes from the parking number 1). Parking was free.
Sabrina S. — Google review
Pretty Beautiful. Be aware to buy the tickets early enough online. We did it on arrival and paid 22€/adult instead of 10€. The castle itself is in very good shape. You find toilets, snacks and a restaurant. The tours are on a free app. So better bring your headphones to listen to it. If you have a ticket, the shuttle bus is for free.

On the way to the castle, seeing its silhouette in the distance was amazing, then actually being next to it was even better.
At the time of my visit, there was still some construction work going on, so we were only able to walk around the courtyard and along the walls, and could only enter the 2 chapels.
I would've loved to explore the entire inside of the castle, but regardless, it was still great.
Flavius — Google review
An amazing piece of local history. Even though there is significant construction/restoration happening, a lot of the Castle is still open. The views looking out over the various valleys are amazing and stunning. Take your time and enjoy the views!!
Having lunch or dinner at the restaurant within the Castle will not be a mistake. The food is beyond excellent!!
Both gift shops are well stocked and have some slightly different items so be sure to visit both!!

The castle is a very well structured and designed building, with very beautiful and elegant furniture layout and features from royal families that once used to live in the castle. The location of the Hohenzollen Castle is absolutely phenomenal, as you can see it from the motorway, the city, and many other parts of Germany, which shows just how high the castle was built. It was such a great experience.

You buy your tickets down below and then there is a bus that can take you up there and it will bring you back. You can walk up there but it's like a half an hour to 45 minute hike up and back. I do let you in at a time stamp on your ticket so it's not overcrowded inside you download an app that walks you through the audio guide of the castle. Kind of interesting because you can go back if you want and listen to something else you can stop it. Quite unique and the castle is very interesting. There is a cafe and the premises where you can have lunch or dinner. There's an ice cream stand

The place where the castle is located is amazing! You can appreciate the castle from the road before arriving and the view from the top of the walls is breathtaking. You can visit a few rooms as well as two chapels. Unfortunately, a lot of parts of the castle are not open for visitors.
There is a project to help kids at the café on the second floor. It's a cosy place where you can have a few drinks and pie free of charge but you can make a donation for helping the project. There are spaces for kids next to the cafe as well.
Try to go when the place is not crowded so you can appreciate the rooms better.

Beautiful castle! Be sure to check out the events calendar before planning
I managed to be in area during a special event which had extra rooms open to the public, otherwise I've been told it was underwhelming by other travelers I've met
I really enjoyed going, there was entertainment on site - staff dressed in period costumes, making "stick bread" over a fire, a bubble master & fire hose throwing
The staff was very friendly and the shuttle bus was really helpful
There are trails in the area that you can walk and the views from the top is very impressive

This place did not disappoint at all! Beautiful and the rooms are set up as they were when being used. One of the best places we visited.
The Christmas market set up was amazing too. It really was so much better than the real markets...we went to Munich markets and it was a nightmare. This place was so lovely and had the Christmas spirit!!! We WILL be back one day!!!
Tip: try not to get the last spot opening. We did and everything was shutting down. We had to rush through everything. If I could change it, I would have come around 4pm (1600). We came at 7pm and it wasn't enough time.

Beautiful place, incredible castle, gorgeous views both up there and from the castle itself to the surrounding area. There can be strong winds at the top and getting up to the castle on foot for young children can be a challenge, but it's well worth the visit. If you book tickets in advance, you will have access to the upper parking lot, which is a smaller walk up to the castle. There is also a shuttle bus.
A show of soap bubbles in the courtyard of the castle, with lighting and music did not leave indifferent neither children nor adults. There was also a night light show on the castle walls.
Very much liked the interiors of the rooms, the wind whistling in the windows, the atmosphere, which is well preserved.

This castle was beautiful. Well organized tour. Went on a weekend, but being winter, it wasn't too busy. I had purchased tickets online for a later time, but they still allowed us entry.

After a solo tour of Schloss Lichtenstein, we arrived at Burg Hohenzollern to find that they're in full Christmas Markets season. The place was crowded and lively and quite busy.
You'll park in a lower parking lot adjacent to the gift shop. A shuttle van will bring you almost to the entrance of the castle. From there, it's a bit of a walk. It is barely handicapped accessible though the castle itself is not at all wheelchair friendly and many rooms require transiting a number of stairs.
The current castle was built between 1846 and 1867 in a Gothic Revival style and influenced by the Châteaux of the Loire Valley. The exterior is regal, dominating the hill it resides on. Inside, each room is decorated with period furniture and artifacts that were owned by Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia. The vault in the basement contains the Crown of Wilhelm II and a uniform that belonged to King Frederick the Great. No photographs allowed in that room but the rest of the castle, absolutely.

What a beautiful castle definitely worth seeing, tour of the inside was awesome. There is beer garden and food to eat too. My daughter said she really enjoyed it, if you have a chance it's a good idea to visit.
Museum of transport & technology, with cars, spacecraft & a jumbo jet, plus an IMAX dome cinema.
Awesome place for a day out (or in). Very well curated technical museum with tons of machinery to see and best of all interact with. The biggest machines are also accessible and you can climb inside and have a look: airplanes, a space shuttle, boat, submarine, trains. It's an endless list and definitely worth a full day visit. Great for kids too as they're allowed to touch and even have a giant slide from a top a Lufthansa airplane. Absolutely recommended!

Fabulous place for a family trip. Fun and learning at the same time. The museum has got a huge collection of aircrafts, Automobiles. The space section is also great with lots of models and historical details about various space and moon missions.
For me personally, the highlight was the robot at the gift shop that picks and delivers you the stuff you choose to buy.
We also enjoyed the simulation vehicle at the entrance of the museum.
There are washrooms in both the sections, that's a big plus being with kids.
The cafeteria inside the premises is also very good. Pizza, coffee etc. are delicious and not too pricey.
Must visit 👍

Wow! What a great museum. My son loved checking out the planes, trains, boats and more! This place is huge and well organized. Employees are friendly. Most signage was bilingual (German/English) which was helpful. We also had lunch in the restaurant and found the food to be decent. The only downside is the cost. I found the entry fee to be a bit steep. Could be an expensive day trip.

Fabulous museum. Scary trip up to 747 perched up in the air on top of a building. A bit too high up for me so I went to Viscount plane instead. Still weird to be walking through a plane perched at an angle. Rest of museum very impressive. Unfortunately I couldn't appreciate it fully as was only in Speyer for a couple of hours - needs a full day to get round all the exhibits..

An amazing day out, so much to look at and it was fascinating. You could go inside loads of planes, including the 747 where you could even walk out onto the wing. Planes, helicopters, trains, submarines, cars, fire engines, motorbikes. Could spend days there. Highly recommended, and we chose to visit it over the other nearby Technik museum as this one is more focused on aviation.

Good size museum if you like planes and cars and out of space. The IMAX we saw was in German so we didn't underhand a lick of it it was still pretty cool. If you ever wanted to stand on a planes wing a few stories up and wonder what your doing up there.. this is the place for you.

We really had an awesome time at this museum. If you're coming in on the Rhine River you don't really need a guide at all just a map. The place is less than a quarter mile from the port and easily found using Google maps.
I had to wait in line behind a bunch of 6-year-olds in order to get my photo and video inside the fire truck but it was well worth the wait :-)
We were there for a couple of hours and still did not get to see everything. This place has got a lot of things that are very interesting and the details are listed in English as well as German.

This monument is situated in one of the most beautiful places of Germany called Rudesheim. Surrounded by lush green vineyards and easily accessible by a cable car which provides views which will stimulate anyone for years after their visit. A mist visit for anyone going to Germany.
While returning we took the walking trail which passes through the vineyards, slowly ascending from the beautiful birds eye views to the green surroundings of the vineyards.
The entire trail is a few kilometres long, and is worth taking.

If you have physical limitations, take the chair lift. If not, it's worth the uphill hike through the vineyards. There is no shade on the hike up, so be prepared, take water. The sun beats down on you for a while. The monument is stunning and grand, not to mention the view over the Rhein. There's a restaurant at the top of the hill, in case you need refreshments after the hike. This was my 2nd time visiting so it was worth seeing more than once.

A very impressive monument built in the late 1800’s to commentate the unification of Germany. THIS IS NOT A WAR MEMORIAL .
There is ample paid parking on a very well organised and maintained site which is well lit and has a lot of seating offering fantastic views of the Rhein river and of course the memorial itself. There’s a very good restaurant here on site with a good selection and outdoor seating area too. The memorial is also accessible to and from Rüdesheim via a cable car lift.

Astonishingly beautiful scenery and view, even during windy winter time. The Monument's massiveness is suprising and impressive, there are many wineyard paths to walk in the nearby area, a restaurant, and soon after Covid they will open the cableway (Seilbahn).
Parking is 8€ for the whole day, right on top of the hill- limited spaces, and a very slow ticket machine, though.

The chairlift was extremely safe and totally worth it. The view from above was the best thing. The monument was spectacular and the history behind it was intresting.

awesome-beautiful-amazing views and wonderful place to be with family or friends. One can take cable cars or walk or cycle up to reach the famous monument. Lots of benches to sit and enjoy the view. Very popular tourist attractions. 👌

This place is worth the time and effort to visit. You can actually walk up to this place from the town of Rudesheim. The cable car is the way to go up. If you have the time, you can walk Babcock down through the vineyards with the constant beautiful scenery of the Rhine River as you walk down.
The history of this place is explained in several languages when you get up to the monument.

This is, quite simply, a stunning memorial to the Franco-Prussian War. And if you are unclear as to the details surrounding this major conflict between the Second French Empire and the North German Confederation, oh my - just do a quick bit of research - this war forever changed the face of the European Continent and shaped it into what we more or less see today. This war changed everything. And this monument is beyond gorgeous and, whether you would have been on either side of the battlefield, this monument is meaningful.

What a beautiful place to visit, a quick ride up the mountain in the cable cars and a lovely walk around to see the monument, the views are breathtaking
The Porsche Museum is a museum dedicated to the history of the Porsche brand of automobiles. The museum features some beautiful vehicles from the early 20th century to the present. It also has a variety of multimedia installations that are perfect for children.
Excellent collection of classic and modern Porsche cars. Interactive displays and audio guides in English intrigued our sons, who were happy to spend a few hours learning about the history of the Porsche company (including its involvement in WWII). Definitely worth visiting if you are a car lover.

The building is impressive to see. Selection of the cars is comprehensive and well laid out. Good coverage of Porsche's engineering era and innovations. The descriptions in the audio guide were useful and intriguing. Interactive spots like revving different engines were fun! You should take time to get the most out of it.

This is the best experience I ever had in my business trips.
From the moment you are inside of the build you start to feel all the good atmosphere created by all the personal working there.
The system used to guide you through all the museum is available in many languages making really enjoyable being there.
Car you only saw in book or in movies, you have now the opportunity to see them face to face, Amazon experience.
I really loved been there, thank you so much!

If you like cars at all, you will enjoy this place. My only issue was with the headsets - they only worked sporadically. The cars are cool as is the museum itself. They also have a place to grab some food and drinks and a gift shop.

One of the best museums ever. Forget the fact that I'm a Porsche enthusiast. The museum does a wonderful job of telling the story of the company as well as displaying some stunning cars. The location is convenient and the restaurants in the building are wonderful. The real selling point is how the cars are displayed. The cars are not behind glass or roped off, which really ruins pictures. They are accessible to be walked around and appreciated. For a Porsche person, this is a bucket list item.

Was a little underwhelmed by the experience of the museum. It’s well-laid out and easy to follow, yet lacks a real depth of cars and history.
Paid €12 for entry, and took about 1 hour to walk through the whole place, despite being quoted longer on google.
Ollie Groth — Google review
This is an OK museum, a good range of cars - but not particularly big, lacks depth of content and other than a handful of exhibits not very hands on. I've done Mercedes, BMW and Audi - all much better than this. Travelled quite a way to see this and honestly felt let down given how good the Mercedes museum was the day before.

Fascinating! Took my three young children here. Ages 4,5,8. With your admission ticket you receive a handheld smart device to punch in the numbers at each exhibit. This give you an audio description of the exhibit and other options to interact with the exhibit. Even for my three little ones this was captivating. A solid 2-3 hours worth of entertainment. There’s also food onsite with a kids menu that is reasonably priced.
Daniel Williams — Google review
A small but a very good museum! First of all there is no option to purchase tickets online, you have to buy them at the front desk. As for the museum, the food is very impressive for a cafeteria inside of a museum. Second, it’s a small museum compared to some others but it’s packed with interesting cars and stories. Definitely worth the visit. Car park is 4 euro for 4 hours, not bad!

Porsche Museum is one of the must-go attractions in Stuttgart. Apart from the high popularity and prestige status of this famous brand, you can also learn German's high quality in art, design, manufacturing and technology. You can find both the old and new models inside this museum. Besides, you can also visit their cafe and purchase souvenirs in the gift shop. The transportation is very convenient as it is just next to the train station. Highly recommended!
Fat Cho — Google review
Very slick and polished just like the car itself.
Polite service all around and the cars were amazing too.
The audio guide works by you keying in the exhibit number and then deciding if you wanted to listen to the general history, technical information or even if you wanted a kiddy version.
The escalator takes you to the museum level and you work your office at the round and up (ramps not stairs) and at the top, once you are done there's another escalator to take you all the way back down (gift shop and cafe/restaurant)
We loved the cars and all the history.
There's an area where you can sit in an actual Porsche car and have your picture taken and printed out for free.
Definitely worth a visit!
If you go to the Mercedes museum after, show them the Porsche tickets to get a discount on tickets.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, and I must say it was an experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was immersed in a world of automotive excellence and rich history.
The museum itself is a stunning architectural masterpiece, blending modern design with elements of the brand's iconic identity. I felt an immediate sense of awe as I gazed upon the impressive collection of meticulously restored classic cars, prototypes, and racing legends on display. Each car was presented in a way that allowed me to truly appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry behind these remarkable machines. The knowledgeable staff members were also readily available to provide fascinating insights and answer any questions I had, further enhancing my understanding and appreciation of the brand's legacy.
The museum also provided glimpses into the future of Porsche, showcasing cutting-edge concept cars and giving me a glimpse into the brand's commitment to innovation and sustainability. It was inspiring to see how Porsche continues to push boundaries and redefine what is possible in the automotive industry.
In conclusion, my visit to the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart was an unforgettable journey through the rich history and exciting future of one of the world's most renowned automotive brands. Whether you're a Porsche enthusiast or simply appreciate engineering excellence, I highly recommend a visit to this museum. It is a true celebration of automotive artistry and a testament to the remarkable legacy of Porsche

One of the best place for automobile enthusiast who want to learn about the evolution of Porsche.
If we travelled by train to reach this place we will get discount on the entry ticket. Actual price is 10 euro and we paid only 5euro after showing the train ticket.
The exhibits are fascinating and we can see most of the Porsche cars in this museum.
Audio kit is very useful to know abt the exhibits in detail.
I love cars and I will visit soon with my son who is also fond of cars.
If you are an car enthusiast you must visit this museum.

Great place to visit. There are so many Porsche old and new ones.
It took 30 minutes to enter. Long line to get ticket, may be because it was Saturday? There may be restriction for number of people that can enter exhibition hall at once.
Heritage cars and modern Porsche, they all look beautiful in any angles. Each car is one piece of art.

Easily done in 1-2 hours and plenty of seating for those family members who need to sit down while you look. Parking directly underneath and get it validated for free. Highly recommended.

Dream place for race car lovers and old Porsche heritage fanatics. For everyone else it's a little underwhelming and a bit average. The scale of the museum is also quite small and can be easily covered in an hour.
Arani Das — Google review
Quite accessible by public transport right next to the train station.
Overall quite underwhelming compared to to the Mercedes Benz Museum I visited earlier but this may be because of the smaller range of Porsche products and singular design.
Can be covered in an hour but unless you are a Porsche enthusiast and if you have limited time you can skip this.

Nice museum to visit especially if you’re into cars obviously. The building is very interesting architecturally as well.
The collection exhibited is pretty complete.
The museum itself as an infrastructure doesn’t seem prepared to receive so many people. There are only 2 toilets which really made a huge line of wait, the cafe was full, there were no seats, no one checked our tickets to go in the museum, felt like a lot of chaos and lack of organization for this flux of people !

Great museum! It is really well planned so you get a good Porsche experience. If you have Deutschland ticket you get discount. They lend you a smart device to hear explanation throughout the museum (I recommend it, nice surprise at the end).
Very easy to get there in Ubahn.
You can have your picture in a Porsche taken and printed for free.
There are some things for kids, for adults also a simulator and an augmented reality experience.
A must when you visit Stuttgart!

Attention Porschephiles! You MUST SEE this museum and the car/art they have within the walls. There are 1 of 1 examples, there are some of the finest race cars to see, there are examples from nearly EVERY model line (focus on the 911, of course) and there are some superb examples of the models that are known to makes us almost cringe to look upon. ALL of this done in a most efficient, guided semi-spiral walk-through exhibit that leads to and from both the cafe and gift shop at the entrance. I KNEW I was in for treat, but this surpassed my expectations when we got to sit and take photos in a brand new Shark Blue 911 Targa! Stunning piece of art, seriously. The hand-held audio device for exhibit interpretation is complimentary for day of use and you get to keep the Porsche lanyard as a free gift. Very well done, nods to the man himself, Ferry Porsche, and hats off to the crew who put this museum together. 10/10 Recommend! --J

Great place for all automotive no matter the brand. Porsche is classic, technology, sport. A must visit in Stuttgart together with the Mercedes Museum. The ticket is 12€ already for an adult. There are discounts for groups. Available cafe, restaurant, souvenir shop, toilet, cloakroom. With a prior reservation, you can drive a Porsche model chosen by you. The price is according to the model, a driver's license is required, a credit card deposit of 2500€ and a reservation of at least a week in advance is required. Enjoy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Audio guide is super helpful. Took us about 3 hours to explore the entire museum. Cafe is expensive for what it is (€8 for two coca cola bottles). Public transport is good to here. We cycled from central Stuttgart no problem. But trains also available.

I very much enjoyed my tour of the Mercedes-Benz museum. You take an elevator ride up to the top floor and begin with looking at some of the oldest cars and engines and walk your way down to today’s modern automobiles.
As you journey through over 100 years of car history, you get to enjoy looking at all the cool cars, trucks, and other various automobiles Mercedes-Benz have manufactured.
I recommend getting lunch in the cafe/trying out their restaurant in the basement as well and making a day trip. It took me about 3 hours to get through everything and eat both breakfast and lunch here and I came by myself, so I’d say prepare at least 5 hours if you’re visiting with a group/your family.
Hostel '68 Heidelberg (Old Town) is located near the picturesque ruins of Heidelberg Castle, which sits on a terraced hillside above the Old Town. The castle, built in the 16th century and made of red Neckar sandstone, is a prime example of German Renaissance architecture. The Old Town itself is well-preserved, with medieval buildings and cobblestone streets. It's also home to Germany's oldest university, adding a lively student population to the area.

Heidelberg Palace is a ruined red sandstone castle that sits on a hillside in the heart of Heidelberg, Germany. It is one of the most beautiful ruins in the world and is popular with tourists for its incredible views across the Neckar River. The only way to see the interior of Heidelberg Palace is by tour - after 6pm it is open to the public for free.
Beautiful, highly recommend for a lazy stroll. The views of the palace and the city from the terrace is breathtaking. We went on a rainy day and still managed to have a great time. There’s a short hike, moderately steep but absolutely doable. Wear comfy shoes. I saw some cars up there too, so I guess it’s possible.

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

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

Must do the guided tour to see its real beauty and learn about its historical misfortunes, the chapel at the end tour is exquisite.

Such a nice place!
Both the castle and the gardens are worth a visit. You can access the gardens for free but will have to pay to enter the courtyard.
Adult ticket is 9€ (August 23), which also includes access to the funicular going up and down.
You'll need to pay an extra 6€ if you want to actually enter the castle which is only available through guided tours.

This place is magical in its beauty and rich history. Highly recommend going up for the incredible views. Most signs are in German but it appears they have information centers and tours if you want a better understanding of its story.

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

A gorgeous site! The grounds are beautiful. Not much interior access. You can rent small lockers for a 1 euro deposit. Little cafe has nice & affordable snack options. Really enjoyed the apothecary museum. Take the funicular!

What a beautiful place. Rich with history. The palace is well worth taking a tour. I went with some friends and we really enjoyed taking photos and admiring at the grand and plentiful works of art. The view is incredible. The tour (i took in English) allows you to walk inside the hallways. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the palace.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Visually appealing historical monument that tells the story of opulence and power. Every ornament has creative details of history and artisans with skills beyond ordinary. The texture, color and breadth of the different parts of the castle are worth seeing in a lifetime.
Arnaud Guanco — Google review
A must see.
We visited on a Sunday in late Feb 24. Weather was cold but dry. Wear comfortable shoes/trainers.
This is a great place to go and visit. Park in the underground carpark in the centre of town. Allow at least 3 hours for a visit. Entrnace was €9 per adult (includes a return ride in the funicular and entrance to the castle). We also booked an English speaking tour (lasted about 90 minutes and you get to see places the public are not allowed in (€6 per person - you can purchase it when at the castle, but check times first. Highly recommended).
Most information boards in English and German. A couple of souvenir shops.
The Mainz Cathedral, a Romanesque structure with a Baroque spire and an ornate cloister, is renowned for its elaborate tombstones. The cathedral is one of the largest in Europe, second only to the Vatican in size. Its architecture and history are fascinating, making it an absolute must-see destination. The cathedral's impressive grandeur sets it apart from others and showcases beautiful design elements in its construction.
Must see cathedral. It’s majestic size. I did not want to compare it to others - but it’s one of the biggest one (except Vatican) in Europe. Absolutely must see.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon with my husband and three kids ages 6, 4, and 2. This is the best cathedral I've been to with kids, mainly because there was beautiful organ music playing the whole time that made it much less stressful having semi-loud children. There was SO much to look at, and we loved strolling through all the different side rooms and halls. I'm not normally a cathedral person but we thoroughly enjoyed this one. Not a ton of things that the kids wanted to touch but couldn't - most of it is high up where they can't reach, or blocked off. The bathrooms were so-so; 50 cents per person and small. We parked nearby at Parkhaus am Brand, which was an easy-to-get-to underground garage and very reasonably priced (12 euros for 7ish hours).

Oh dear… Mainz Cathedral or St. Martin's Cathedral is located near the historical center and a market square. This 1000-year-old Roman Catholic cathedral is the site of the episcopal see of the Bishop of Mainz. Like everything in the City this monumental building is a mosaic of styles. The fusion between Romanesque (main),
Gothic (chapels and bell towers) and
Baroque (roof) are serving us a real architectural treat. Over the centuries, seven coronations of kings took place in Mainz Cathedral.

The Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof is a grand station adorned with Neo-Renaissance accents that serves both regional and long-distance routes. The ground floor hosts platforms for long-distance trains while the underground provides access to the S-bahn and U-bahn systems. Facilities such as paid restrooms, food and beverage shops, and seating areas are available within the station.
The wonderful old architecture of the railway station🤩 During the pick time is a bit more crowded but that's everywhere. The navigation signs are still very easily visible and understandable.
There is a plenty of different connections across the city near surrounding and far distance connections.
Included a lot of food stores for the convenience of traveling or short stops. Thank you 🤘🏼🚀

This station is the backbone of the transportation system in frankfurt as you can get Trams, metro, national and international trains from this place, but still it's not crowded as we see in many places, sometimes it's a bit confusing but one can manage if they check the details properly.

Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof is the bustling main train station of Frankfurt. Very busy at times. There are many food kiosks and other services available. Unfortunately there are some transient/homeless people who wander through the station, asking for money. The immediate area outside the hauptbahnhof is also a little sketchy, with some open drug dealing, but it's not unsafe. Deutsche Bahn runs a very efficient service, trains run very much on time.

The main reason I choose Frankfurt Haputbahnhof as the starting point for my personal travel is that there are quite a variety of public transportation tools that can easily to use from day to mid-night. No matter what time it is, the crowd is obviously everywhere inside or outside this station.

Liked the architecture of the station. It's very huge and gorgeous. It's a typical terminus station where the railroads end in the station, so you can just walk to the end of the platform and move to another one without using the bridge. There are fast-food restaurants and convenience stores in the station.

The train station is beautiful! It has a historical charm that reminds me of Harry Potter heading to Platform 9¾. However, I must admit that the train system can be quite complicated, especially for non-German speakers or tourists in general. The costumer service desk is not very helpful, the workers have an attitude and are not willing to help. I accidentally boarded the wrong train and ended up receiving an 80 euro fine from one of the train ticket officials. It would be great if they could be more helpful and friendly towards tourists, offering guidance and assistance when needed.

Large and efficient station, as one would expect from Germany. Trains that connect all over Germany and the rest of Europe including Amsterdam, Vienna and Basel.
Tram and metro also connect to the station. Lots of electronic and physical signs so it's impossible to get the wrong train.
Tons of cafe and sandwiches type places available as well as a few sit down restaurants and the usual junk fast food.
Unique architecture here and it is a visual treat. Overall a very pleasant experience

This has to be the most used train station in Europe for me. I lived here for two years in the 80s; I love train so much that I make my trips around it - it was great when German DB was reliable and dependable.
Not during my last few trips, especially 2022. Accidents, delays ...
Oh, I'm off the topic.
This station although heavily used, but I don't think it has a supermarket ... foods / coffee bars are plentiful. Some under ground tunnels feels icky. Many buses and subways merge here (duh)

A nice train station with a beautiful architecture. The main train station in Frankfurt with connections to almost all major cities across Germany and Europe. Signs are very well labeled making it a bit easy to navigate your way to the right platform, especially if you don’t speak German. There are many shops and restaurants to keep you busy as you wait for your train. There are also numerous public benches if you just want to chill and not spend a dime. It wasn’t that busy when I visited but a bit rush. Pretty sure it gets chaotic during rush hours. Good thing is they have service desks where you can visit any time and an attendant will help you find your way.

The Romer, a medieval building with a stepped gable facade, is now the town hall with a balcony and many portraits. The building has served as Frankfurt's main city hall for 600 years.
The beautiful and picturesque old town is a must visit when in Frankfurt! Amazing half-timbered buildings that were once completely destroyed by Allied powers’ bombings during WWII, now rebuilt to their full glory! Drink your coffee or beer in one of the numerous cafes and beer houses on the square, admire the architecture, take photos and travel back in time with your imagination! 100% recommended!

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

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

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

The Wartburg Castle, a medieval fortress situated on a high cliff in parkland, features an art museum dedicated to works from the Middle Ages. Construction began in 1067 and continued over time. The castle has hosted numerous German celebrities throughout history, including Hermann (1156-1217). Entry requires purchasing tickets online prior to arrival as it is approximately a 20-minute walk from the car park due to steep inclines.
if you want to enter inside of castle and museum, you should buy ticket online from website in advance. Then you can have nice experience in the castle. you need 20 mins walk from car parking btw due to a steep slope, so plan your travel schedule including this.

I visited Wartburg Castle for the first time. The parking lot is only about 5 minutes walk away from the entrance below the castle. 5€ day ticket. Admission to the Castle Museum: 12€ for adults. The courtyard of the castle can be visited without a ticket. Masks are mandatory within the museum. The tour was informative and really very nicely designed. Very well maintained interiors and lots of descriptions. I've read every single sign! Unfortunately, there was generally little information. The history of the castle is reproduced lifelessly and there is hardly any emotional contact with these magnificent rooms. In addition, the employees on site were mostly unfriendly or arrogant. Once I was hit very unkindly from behind, I should not touch the walls, although obviously I did not intend to do so and even had my hands in my pockets. An absolute impudence! In addition, I was greeted unfriendly directly at the entrance, during my visit and even at the museum shop in the end. Wow! I have rarely experienced anything like this. It seems as if the employees at the Wartburg are frustrated with their workplace. There is also a photo ban throughout the museum and the employees run around the visitors like hyenas to control everyone, not to use their mobile phones. Very unacceptable. I am in many exhibitions, but this experience at the Wartburg was unique.
I was also disappointed that Martin Luther's time at the Wartburg is told in a completely mindless way. There is hardly any information about his experiences there and also an extensive presentation of the ridiculous situation with the inkwell and devil. The content design really leaves much to be desired. 3 Stars for the building and beautiful restoration and art works.

You could only visit the castle's museum and inside with a guide tour and I prefer to check those out on my own.

A nice castle with rich history streching from its construction in 1067 to 1999, when it was officially made a UNESCO world heritage site. Tour was highly interesting, and the castle is middle-sized but there is much to see. This is the castle where Martin Luther translated the new testament from Greek to German in 1521. Astounding view from the south tower over the valley at a height of 500 meters(1600 feet). Inner decoration is nice as well, detailed mosiacs and late Romanesque architecture are quite impactful. This is the ideal castle.

It was one of the best castles I have visited. I recommend going early to avoid the crowds. You can buy tickets online to avoid them selling out during peak tourist season, but you can also buy them on site. The ticket office is past the drawbridge but before the second gate area. Remember to buy a photo pass with your ticket if you want to take photos during the tour.

Great place to visit! Castle is pretty small but very authentic, especially during the Christmas time.
Very nice traditional architecture of city streets.

There are plenty of restaurants close by and it was not too loud. At the one end of the bridge there is a church. We arrived too late to go up the church tower.

My recent visit to Kramerbrücke in Erfurt, Germany, was truly captivating. This historic bridge showcases remarkable architecture and offers stunning views of the city. Kramerbrücke stands out with its unique half-timbered design, reflecting the city's rich history. Climbing to the top of the bridge, I was greeted with a breathtaking panoramic view of Erfurt. The city's skyline, a mix of historic landmarks and modern structures, was a sight to behold.Beyond its visual appeal, Kramerbrücke is a vibrant hub of activity. The bridge is lined with charming shops, cafes and boutiques, offering a delightful shopping and dining experience.

After being gone for 30 years, I had the opportunity to visit Erfurt with my own family. We loved Krämerbrücke. It’s unlike anything we have in the USA. The shops are amazing and the vibe is great.

An interesting history and a variety of shops.
Also visit the park behind the bridge for good views and a place to relax.

Well the place is good enough. But not how they showcase in other photos. Yet it is a nice place to check out. 13th century bridge 🌉. People have been living over here since over 500 years that's is the longest over Europe.

Medieval arch bridge with half timbered shops and houses on both sides of the street. Rare bridge standing for ages. Must visit place.

The „Medieval“must see when being in Erfurt. You will hardly find these bridges which are totally filled with houses in Europe anymore. And I would not know where to find it anywhere else in the world. Don’t miss the very unique shop for left handed people.

beautiful, narrrow, medieval street and bridge: one of the highlights in erfurt.
be sure to get an all-round view, also from the riverside.
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 of the best Zoos I have visited. Pretty big and lots of space for the animals. The amazon house is great. The aquarium was very crowded, i don’t think the corona traffic light ever goes on red

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.

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!

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!

The Leipzig Zoo is great.
There is a wide variety of animals from all over the world.
In addition to the animals, there are other attractions such as guided walks and children's games.
I was fascinated that the Zoo was divided into different regions of the world.
The Sanssouci Park is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved royal gardens in Berlin. It was created by Frederick the Great in the late 18th century and features a large park with towering trees and formal flower beds, as well as several notable buildings. The park is an excellent example of German Baroque garden design, and it's a popular tourist destination.
Very big and beautiful park with huge old buildings, thousands of sculptures, fountains. Entrance is free of charge, if you walk slowly, sit and eat, you can easily spend 4-5h. Quickly walking min 2h. Entrance into the palace costs 19Eur per adult. Also there is a nice botanical gardens inside the park

Arrived super early in the morning and proved to be such a relaxing walk. You can find many early birds jogging around the grounds or walking their dogs.
There's maps with different colored trails and even estimated times for each one but we decided to just go with the flow and fall in love with nature. Even though we went during the last week of November I'd say it was definitely worth it with an amazing autumnal vibe. Leaves were still falling and we did get some rain so make sure to also bring an umbrella!

If you are in Berlin, choose a day to visit Potsdam and the gorgeous Sanssouci Park and Palace. This is a place where history meets beauty being surounded by nature. Pic some comfortable clothes and shows as it is a big area. You will find a charming café to recharge your energy and then go on have a memorable day in this magical place. If you can, rrad about it before going as this will help you experience it in another level.

The park is amazing. It is easy to spend several hours there. It is very serene. The park is essentially a large forest with labyrinthine roads connecting various palaces. There is a botanical garden and tons of statues. Palaces range from very small to the New Palace of more than 200 rooms. Several palaces are open for tours and very much worth it. Single palace tickets are a few Euros, and there is a 22 Euro ticket that includes admission to all palaces in entirety.

The park has a big fountain at the bottom with statues at the periphery of the mountain. The statues add a lot of charm to the fountain and park.
The park has a terraced vineyard and vines are visible during summer months. Overlooking the park is the Palace on top of the hill.
One of the more visited places in Potsdam.

An gorgeous UNESCO protected park enjoyable in any season. Sculptures protected under wooden covers during winter until end spring. Viewable End Spring until end Autumn.

A visit to the Palace of Sanssouci is an experience of going back in time. The Palace is much as it was when occupied so long ago. There is an admission fee and should you be planning to also visit other sites in the area, be sure to check if there is a combined ticket.
We visited in December and one should note this was a summer palace -- there is no heat and this palace was kept as it was originally. The grounds are beautiful and we can only imagine the greater beauty during the warmer months.
