Speyerer Dom

Mentioned on 
18 lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Speyer Cathedral, also known as the Imperial Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption and St Stephen, is a significant Romanesque cathedral in Europe. It has been a burial site for emperors for centuries and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The cathedral's construction began in the 11th century and it boasts impressive architectural design with soaring ceilings, intricate stonework, and stunning stained glass windows.
I enjoyed the architecture and the design. There were a lot of people visiting on a Saturday. To visit this Cathedral, you do not have to pay, except if you want to visit the tombs underground. It cost like 4 euros. Finding a car space on a Saturday was challenging but eventually I found one. The Cathedral is a must see attraction in Speyer. There is a lot of history here which I love to find out. Outside the Cathedral there are lots of coffee shops for your enjoyment. This is an active church and patrons are requested to respect the ambience and space.
Ravi L — Google review
The Speyerer cathedral exudes a sense of grand history and architectural significance. The intricate details in the stonework and sculptures reflect a high level of craftsmanship and religious symbolism. Inside, the soaring vaulted ceilings and massive columns create a powerful feeling of awe and reverence, while the richly decorated doorways and statues add a sense of solemn dignity. The atmosphere is both majestic and serene, offering a space that invites quiet reflection and admiration for its monumental design.
Clifton P — Google review
Visitor's note: there is currently restoration work ongoing. As such there is scaffolding in place. Be aware. What an amazing attraction for any and all visors. The cathedral it's absolutely magnificent. Completed and consecrated in 1051 le Cathedral de Spire is one of the last cathedrals built during the time of the unified church. Historically and religiously, this is incredibly significant, but the site doesn't stop there. The architecture of the space is world class. With no choir as you enter you are drawn to the east, to enter the space fully and encounter the light of Christ. The crypts below the cathedral are worth the visit alone. Hapsburgs lie interred next to other emperors, kings, and ancient leaders of both church and state. Whether you are looking for a tourist site, a historical adventure, or a pilgrimage site in western Germany, the dome has all of that and more.

It was a fantastic visit for me and my som. There is a big variety of vehicles from historical to date including prototypes. Additionally there is a space part that can be visited to see demos of spacecrafts. Airplanes were also amazing. I think at least 3 hours is needed to see all the rooms. One can also have an experience how to work of engines. There are parts for children to enjoy.
Gokhan Y — Google review
Incredible experience! It went way beyond my expectations. I didn’t think there would be this much to see. My main reason for going was the Buran and Apollo exhibits, but I ended up really enjoying the other sections too. There are dozens of cars, motorcycles, and airplanes on display. You also get to see flown items from Apollo, Gemini, Shuttle, and ISS missions. Capsule parachutes, Shuttle parts, astronaut gear, and even a Moon rock from Apollo 15… Such an amazing collection. The Lunar Module looks almost exactly like the real thing, and the lunar suits are just as impressive. Absolutely a must-visit!

Amazing display of land, water, air and space vehicles. I did not expect the huge collection of well-displayed artifacts that allowed up cloce inspection. The Lufthansa 747 is mounted high in the air, can be seen from a distance, and still allows interior visits. Worth a special trip.

It may take more than a day or two to see all this museum has to offer. The wing walk is a must, dont forget to grab your carpet to slide down afterwards.

An extremely well-curated museum that has a little something for everyone. We had an amazing tour guide who was clearly very passionate about the collection. Space, air, road, sea, plus a unique collection of musical machines.

What an incredible place. It's mind-blowing the exhibits on display. Wild, varied and so many !!! You can view it all in a few hours but for sure take a day out to go to this mind bending place. The Concorde and the Kondcordski Tuplolv tu144 are magnificent. Scary climbing up the stairs and the tilt is a bit steep but well worth going. The cars also , so many cool cars, from supercars, to pre war to hot rods. Exhibits on race cars, a cool display of F1 cars. They also have a Great shop . Deffo pace yourself and take time !! They also have another museum called technik Speyer ... That has the Russian Space shuttle the Buran !!!

Absolutely amazing experience, with the U-boat, Tupolev and Concorde as the major highlight. Do not miss this if you have the opportunity. Expect to spend between 2 and 4 hours. Good - experience some of the most amazing vehicles from up close. - build as an experience - there is actually too much too see - themed areas and some paid interactive displays.
AQ — Google review
One of the most fascinating museums l've ever been to because of its absolute mint condition of trains, planes and automobiles :) Expect to spend a few hours to a whole day to fully enjoy this huge museum! Very special to see in person was the supersonic airplanes …Concorde and Russian tupolev (Tu-144) and a real U-boat !! (Line ups may vary from 10min to 1hour) Great collection of Lambo’s, Ferrari’s and of course every classic German sports cars. Lots of outdoor parking (5.00€ ) Bonus: some of the special collection exhibits are interactive by putting 2€ coin fee which gives you a great real life example of a steam locomotive wheels in action with sounds, very impressive so just do it !
Keith W — Google review
We've been wanting to go here for a few years as we passed it on the way to someplace else. So much to see and really loved walking inside the Concorde jet and the U boat. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was busy but not too bad. Parking is 5 euros. Lots of cars, tanks, motorcycles and more. Great for a family to spend a half day and the playground was fantastic with rides too.
Kasia M — Google review
Great, but it could be so much better. There are some amazing exhibits here, but they're displayed in a ramshackle and random manner. Having the planes at stage angles must have seemed like a good idea (maybe after a beer or two), but I think they'd be better level allowing people to walk through easily and concentrateon looking at the interiors fully.. Information on some of the exhibits is sparse or cut-and-paste from others. It is certainly worth a visit, but it has the potential to be absolutely amazing.

I absolutely loved my time at Sinsheim Therme! From the moment we arrived, everything felt well thought out , the lockers, the comfortable seating areas, the spacious changing rooms, and the neatly organized showers made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. The food was fresh and tasty, and spending the day here with my family was such a joy. We booked one of the beach-style chairs, which made relaxing even better, and I loved how organized everything was — no chaos, no confusion, just pure relaxation. It’s the perfect place to unwind, have fun, and enjoy a beautiful day together.

I had a great time visiting this place. There's truly something for everyone, both adults and kids. I appreciated their focus on privacy and ensuring everyone follows common decency rules without making customers feel uncomfortable. However, the prices are a bit high for what's on offer, and it was a bit crowded for my liking. We had to wait in several areas to enjoy the different pools. I also wish the wristbands were a bit sturdier. The ones we got dissolved in water, making it nearly impossible to remember your locker number after a full day of swimming, visiting the saunas and steam baths. Another area that could use some improvement is the front desk customer service. Apart from giving us our wristbands, they didn't spend much time explaining what there was to do or where everything was located. They just assumed we knew our way around.

It was my first time at the Sinsheim Badewelt. The prices were to high and didn’t really offer much. The Therme in Bavaria has more to offer for almost the same amount … overall it was a nice experience though I wouldn’t be going back with the high prices … I’ll better go back to Bavaria 😂😂 I enjoyed the restaurant , good service. One of the reception ladies was not friendly…
Ann W — Google review
I had very high expectations of this thermal bath but my experience was slightly disappointing. I've been to many thermal baths in Germany and other thermal baths were way better on several aspects. Vital and Sauna area: This area has been the most disappointing so far, there is only one crowded pool bar and an even more crowded tiny salt pool. Textile area: This area has one large pool and a few tiny overcrowded ones that we couldn't try because there was never any free space. Loungers availability: We had to book a double seat for 13 EUR, but for most other days only some outrageously expensive loungers were available (150 to 300 Eur). I've been to better thermal baths in Germany where such a lounger is only around 30-40 EUR instead of 200+ If you don't have a reserved seat, it can be difficult to find a place to sit. One thing I liked is that they have a few non reservable seats and they would clear your towels and belongings if you leave them on it while you're away. Food: Food can be a hit or miss, the chicken Thai curry was nothing like Thai curry and was barely edible. The chili con carne however was quite delicious. They do have some delicious dessert options and the food was not expensive and very beautifully plated. Water temperature: Water temperature was quite cold in my opinion, because a large part of the pool is outdoors and that probably affects the temperature of the water inside. It wasn't uncomfortable though. Air temperature was very pleasant and warm. Parking: Plenty of free parking spots were available. Showers and lockers: There very few showers so waiting times were quite longs and queues of 5-10 people were forming at times. Water temperature was good and the facilities were very clean. Sauna: One thing I loved was the cinema Sauna, you can watch a small documentary projected while inside the sauna. I didn't join any of the activities because the lines were insanely long which made the saunas fully packed. The steam bath was also really nice and the peeling options are amazing. Massage: Massages must be booked ahead of time. They also have some automatic massage beds but I couldn't find the cost mentioned anywhere. I think that's quite misleading. There thousands of real orchids and beautiful plants all over the pools, which was really nice. I'm not sure if I would come back again.
Ouissal B — Google review
I’m 34 weeks pregnant and drove an hour to the pool, only to find that main pool is closed for renovations – with no notice online or anywhere else. This was a huge waste of time and energy. The indoor pool was uncomfortably warm and not refreshing at all. The outdoor pool area has nowhere to sit or relax, which makes it difficult to enjoy. Poor communication and poorly thought-out facilities. Not coming back. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!
Greta P — Google review
Absolutely LOVED spending one of our first days in Germany here. We went on a Friday afternoon and probably will be back during the week when it won't be as busy. Would definitely recommend booking a private bed there for the day if you go as you're not allowed to reserve your own. The pool bar is super cute with delicious drinks and it's just a vibe. We also did the sauna part and that was by far THE BEST saunas we have ever been to. Each Sauna has a different theme. Absolutely recommend 👌

Nestled in the heart of Karlsruhe, the Zoological Gardens Karlsruhe, also known as Zoologischer Stadtgarten, offers a delightful blend of nature and wildlife. This enchanting destination features lush park landscapes adorned with vibrant flower beds, serene boating lakes, and sprawling green spaces that create a tranquil oasis for visitors. As you stroll through this urban paradise—just a short ten-minute walk from the city center—you'll encounter an array of fascinating animals including polar bears, seals, sea lions, and elephants.
The most positive impressions. I really liked that there was an opportunity to see some monkeys very close and it really impressed me. I can also say that there are many benches where you can sit, which is a plus. All the plants are very well-groomed. All the animals also look very beautiful and are well looked after.

We visited the zoo on a weekday so it wasn't too crowded. The nature is beautiful, lots of plants and flowers, especially now in spring when the flowers are blooming. Perfect fun for children, lots of animal species, well-maintained play parks for children. The zoo is really big and you need a whole day if you want to visit everything, so it's great for a full-day trip with the family. We really liked it and will definitely come again. We loved the Gondola ride on the lake. We had a really nice experience and memories. Admission for children under 6 is free, a day ticket for adults costs €15 if you buy it at the box office.It's cheaper if you buy the ticket online because then you pay €14.

Located right in front of the main train station, this is a relatively small zoo that packs a big punch. Sure, there aren't lions or tigers, but the polar bears, elephants, hippos, chimps and many other charismatic animals make up for it tenfold. And while some of the exhibits could be on the older side, there are brilliant modern facilities, like the wonderful tropical house, that make a big difference!
Alan D — Google review
Staff were friendly and nice. Beautiful gardens and promenades. Nice displays of flowers. Amazing birds and animal varieties. The full leaning seats were so ergonomic and comfortable! The view from the hill is fantastic and you’re able to see in all directions for miles. Tranquil areas that were peaceful as well as like paintings with the fall colours. Disappointed that the polar bears were not out and wonder if there are any. The water for the bears wasn’t clear or clean. Lots of trash in it lead us to believe there may not be any bear or bears. One of the nicest and best zoos I have been to. Thank you from Calgary, Alberta, Canada

A great zoo, with lots of animals – elephants, giraffes, parrots, seals, owls, penguins... Also a central location, easy to reach after getting off the train. Quite a good place to have a stroll with your friends. Be aware of the weather because in good weather you can see more animals.
Kürşat K — Google review
It's ok, nothing more, nothing less. Sure, it's nice with kids, but the enclosures are way too small. The polar bear has no ice, the cheetahs no privacy, but they do have room for countless food stalls and giant grass fields. The enclosures are way too small. We shouldn't be funding this.
Berend — Google review
An unforgettable family-friendly experience!" Karlsruhe Zoo is one of the best places to spend a day for both adults and children. From the moment you enter, there’s so much to see and do. One of the absolute highlights is the polar bears — they are active, playful, and their spacious enclosure makes it fascinating to watch their behavior up close. It’s truly a sight that stays with you long after your visit. Another standout feature is the rose garden. Walking through the beautifully maintained gardens is a peaceful and colorful experience, perfect for taking photos or just enjoying a quiet moment surrounded by flowers. It adds a lovely contrast to the excitement of the animal exhibits. For families with young children, the petting area is fantastic. Kids get the chance to interact safely with friendly animals, which is always a big hit. The children’s play area is equally impressive — spacious, well-designed, and full of activities that keep children entertained while parents can relax nearby. The zoo itself is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. Informative signs and thoughtfully designed enclosures make it both educational and fun. Whether you’re coming to admire the animals, enjoy the gardens, or let the kids run around and play, Karlsruhe Zoo offers a complete and memorable experience. I highly recommend it for a family outing or a day spent exploring nature and wildlife.

Visited the Karlsruhe zoo with friends and their kids which was an amazing find. The place is very nice, interesting, well maintained with lots of activities for kids of every age as well as adults. The exibits are well curated and the animals seem to be very well taken cared for. The ticket is 15€ per person which may sound a bit pricey but you have a tons of things to do. Overall this was a great find that I highly suggest to everyone, especially parents. If you don’t know what to do about your kid and feel a bit drained, take them to the zoo to roam around!

Treetop Walk Black Forest

Sights & Landmarks
Hiking area
Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald offers an elevated hiking experience with interpretive information and a striking spiral observation tower. It provides families with the opportunity to connect with nature and witness breathtaking views of the Black Forest from a unique vantage point. The wooden and steel structure leads visitors along a boardwalk to reach the 130-foot viewing tower, where they can enjoy panoramic vistas of the dense forest and rolling hills.
Wonderful place to visit with or without kids for a day or a few hours. One can walk, enjoy the beautiful nature, have a picnic or sit on a bench and rest. There’s a big playground for the kids, a picnic area, walking trails, educational boards, mountain biking trails and others. Everything is very well maintained. The walking tower is a must as the views from the top are spectacular! It’s a bit windy and chilly at the top desk so it’s a good idea to bring a scarf or a jacket (we visited in late May). The slide is a fun feature at an affordable price (€2). There’s a souvenir store before you go out. The parking lot is conveniently located just below the beginning of the trails.

Great for young children, very educational. There is a 30 minutes walk to the peak, but with the activities along the way it could be over an hour. There are toilets at the end of the experience which is included in the price. Alternatively, there is one before entering which takes euro coins and gives no change back. I found this annoying as I hate to walk around with coins in my pocket. There are playgrounds at the end of the experience for children for which there is a separate fee. I would recommend it for or with children, for adults it is just okay.

Great educational and overall experience. From the entry way a walkway with education and activities for children brings you to the main area with the treetop walkway. Once at the top of the walkway you'll be able to see to the horizon in any direction and there are helpful arrows signposting significant locations and directions. For the adventurous there is a quick way down for only 2€ At the base is a extensive play area for children. Overall a really good experience and very worth the entry fee.
Robin T — Google review
Good easy hike for the family. Fun nature facts are scattered throughout the walk (Kids 6yrs and 4yrs) though there’s admission fee and additional fees for the slide and the playground, worth it for the experience. Costs I’m sure go towards the upkeep. Everything is well maintained. Note: Bring 2€ coins to use the slide.

A very cool place! We visited the Treetop Walk in the Black Forest and really enjoyed it. Since the upper parking lot was full, we hiked up through the forest - a pleasant and scenic trail that made the visit even more rewarding. If you prefer an easier option, there’s a convenient cable car from Bad Wildbad that takes you right to the top. The treetop walkway itself costs around €10 per adult and offers beautiful panoramic views over the Black Forest. It’s an easy, accessible path suitable for all ages. At the top, there’s also a fun spiral tube slide you can take down for an extra €2 - a fun touch, especially for kids (or adventurous adults!). Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.
Alex V — Google review
Absolutely wonderful walk through the forest. The Treetop walk is both stunningly beautiful and peaceful. If you are going on a weekend, try to go a little before or after midday (fewer folks up there). The views from the top of the tower are long and majestic. The Bergbahn runs up from Bad Wildbad every 30 minutes on the 15th and 45th minutes. Along the walking path are fun activities and some wonderful little bird box/people are hanging in the trees waiting to be discovered.

This is so much fun and a very easy walk from the car park. It offers stunning views and the slide back down is so much fun! Do not miss!

Royal Palace

Performing arts theater
Concerts & Shows
The Royal Palace is a must-visit event that offers an impressive show, likened to the grandeur of the Moulin Rouge in Paris but with a larger stage and more affordable prices. The performances are captivating, featuring fantastic artists that provide top-notch entertainment. While some visitors found the food to be good but not exceptional, the overall experience of the show is highly recommended. Guests have expressed their enjoyment and satisfaction with the incredible performances and great value for money at this amazing venue.
Close to Strasbourg, 30km drive, surprisingly a real international class cabaret, outstanding spectacle! I recommend to have dinner before at Le Versailles Restaurant, one of their 2 located in the complex, nice menu. And the last part of the night, joining the final party at The Lounge, night club dedicated only to the guests of the cabaret! A real outstanding evening!!

Famous cabaret show, offers a complete evening and night of entertainment. We had a great dinner in the restaurant Versailles, very kitch decorations but good food and decent wines. Don't go there for a quiet dinner for 2 though, everybody is cramped on large tables. There is live music and possibilities to dance. The show was amazing (Flamboyant) with the acrobatic tours, the dancing nice and the singing ok. The lounge club is a very nice way to finish the evening since there is nothing else to do in the region. Service is quick and friendly, music is not too loud, still possible to have a conversation, and the dance floor was quickly filled with hits from seventies up to today.

Beautiful casino. We had such a good time playing roulette. There is a dress code to enter so be sure to check the website for the rules. The dealers and other employees were quite friendly and made for an enjoyable experience. It is fully wheelchair accessible with an accessible bathroom as well.

NOT GOING BACK. SERVICE NOT SO GOOD, ONLY 1-2 Tables (Roulette & something else). Didn’t see BlackJack and above all, no one there to provide any material gestures of guidance or hospitality. Actually saw the 2 tables at about 3-4PM, and was totally unimpressed. Baden-Baden yes, Casino pass it. The architecture is fantastic, and the inside quite clean. The coat-check lady was nice; but the Admissions lady was definitely not nice. I was well-dressed in a black-leather jacket, tux-white shirt and a gold-laced bow tie. The B forced me to drop €10-20 on an unnecessary jacket rental; and was a snot about it. Reminded me of my first encounters in East Germany when The Wall was coming down. They thought of everything, but the people and what they might need. Walking away, I saw the Illuminati of the Casio Bar. What could go wrong here? They had everything, but a bartender; because the 3 or 4 of them were kind of in the back corner talking. No attention whatsoever to customers. As an afterthought, a bartender appeared. WOW. For the $$$$ they were charging I worried about buying dinner. Service = 5/10. Real nice place if you want to hold your mouth open, but if you came to play Blackjack or another game—you’d have more fun by a long shot at the Tampa Seminole Hard Rock Cafe (at half the cost). Not so cool. They have a lot to learn about taking care of the client. When I turned in my Jacket, Ms. N. Admissions was supervising the coat check lady with a specious, down-the-nose look. Really Surprised as was my darling. The surrounding promenade OUTSIDE OF THE CASINO was filled with Baden-Baden interest, history, and adventure.
Adam J — Google review
The Baden-Baden casino is truly stunning: an elegant, refined place full of history, definitely worth a visit. However, what a strange idea to force men to wear a jacket in the middle of summer, with the heat unbearable and the air conditioning not really up to the task. In the end, you end up sweating more than betting… A shame that such an outdated rule slightly spoils the experience in such a prestigious venue!

Originally home to 140 orange trees confiscated from Chateau de Bouxwiller, only three of these trees remain today and can be seen in the park's greenhouses on certain days.
A lovely park and formal gardens. Great to wander about and do bird spotting. Check out the huge nests on the building's chimneys! Just a short walk from EU parliament which makes it a great stopping point before walking down road to catch no.2 bus back towards the central station.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-Strasbourg

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-Strasbourg is a stunning Gothic edifice that dates back to the 1200s and features a remarkable 16th-century astronomical clock and a beautiful rose window. Its iconic 142-meter spire can be seen towering over the city's rooftops, making it an unmissable landmark.
I visited the cathedral on a schools trip and it was amazing. The fog on that day made the spire disappear into the clouds which was very cool. The inside was also beautiful, and the large clock was meant to have an animated show happen at 2:00 but it was a little disappointing, with the bell just ringing twice, and that was it. But everything else was spectacular. 👍

Strasbourg Cathedral is an awe-inspiring masterpiece of Gothic art. Its soaring spire and intricate facade leave you speechless before you even step inside.

The overall experience is good but was busy. So many people always in the way. The history of it being built was very interesting. It's amazing that structures can remain in the same location basically untouched for such a long time. The clock in the back is a highlight that you don't see in any other churches.

The Strasbourg Cathedral is an absolute masterpiece of Gothic architecture and one of the most stunning landmarks in Europe. Its intricate stone façade, towering spire, and detailed sculptures leave you in awe from the moment you see it. Inside, the soaring nave, beautiful stained-glass windows, and the famous astronomical clock are simply breathtaking. You can climb to the top for a panoramic view of Strasbourg and the surrounding Alsace region — the climb is worth it, though there are sometimes long queues, especially on weekends and holidays. The cathedral is surrounded by charming squares and streets, making it a perfect spot to explore, take photos, and enjoy the city’s historic atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone in Strasbourg — whether you’re a history buff, architecture lover, or just looking for a spectacular view!
Niroshan — Google review
On a foggy morning in November we o pop aid a visit to the Notre Dame Cathedral in Strasbourg. We missed the morning opening time so we made sure we were standing in line for the afternoon opening hours. The queue, although long, moved quickly, and once inside we could see all of the stained glass windows and the mechanical clock in the far corner. We were there when the clock struck one o’clock - so not much movement on the animated figures at the top of the clock! The cathedral is worth a visit - even in winter!
Annette K — Google review
Strasbourg’s iconic cathedral is truly breathtaking. From the outside, you can admire the magnificence of Gothic architecture in every detail. The massive towers and finely carved stone decorations are mesmerizing. Once inside, the peaceful atmosphere immediately surrounds you; the colorful light filtering through the stained-glass windows gives the cathedral a mystical feeling. Climbing up the tower is a bit challenging, but the view makes it absolutely worth it. You can see the rooftops of the city, the Rhine River, and the Alsace landscape stretching far into the distance. The astronomical clock inside the cathedral is also a must-see – both historically and technically fascinating. Whether during the day or illuminated at night, the cathedral offers a unique beauty in every moment. It’s not only a religious site but also a cultural and historical treasure. Anyone visiting Strasbourg should definitely make time to see it

Mont Sainte-Odile is a truly magical and spiritual place in Alsace. Perched high on a mountain, the monastery offers breathtaking views across the Rhine plain, the Black Forest, and even to the Vosges peaks.

Water & Amusement Parks
Theme Parks
Europa-Park, located in the south of Baden-Wurttemberg, is the undisputed number one amusement park in Germany with up to 5.6 million visitors annually. The park's popularity is well-deserved due to its diverse attractions, meticulously designed grounds, and emphasis on maintenance and visitor experience. With over 100,000 reviews on Google alone, Europa-Park nearly achieves a perfect five-star rating.
Really good first experience. The app allow you to store tickets, attempt to get virtual line "shortcut", and the management of the queues is quite well done. The park is really big and adapted to diverse ages and preferences. Each attraction also comes with a unique description do better understand what senses will get a challenge, in case your sensitivity don't allow you to take it. Which make it more inclusive. I didn't get the occasion to test all the coasters but so far it was really excellent and would enjoy coming back during another season. (Came for the Halloween event) Last time I went to an amusement park like this one it was Osaka Universal Studio. The Halloween them was waaaay better with lots of actors and fun representations in the street of the park. Immersive experience. I was expecting the same here, but instead you'll get a very well decorated park. You can find the necessary to eat and drink in the park, but if you are ok a budget, I recommend coming with your own food and drinks. To enter, buy tickets in advance, and come at least 45 min before the official opening of the park.

Yesterday, my family and I visited Europa Park in Rust, Germany, one of the largest and most famous theme parks in Europe. The park is beautifully designed, with different sections representing various European countries, each offering unique rides, attractions, and delicious food options. We were impressed by the variety of cuisines available, allowing us to taste dishes from different cultures all in one place. The park is very well-organized, and the rides were absolutely thrilling well maintained and enjoyable for all ages. However, our experience wasn’t perfect. The biggest issue was the extreme heat and the lack of cooling systems in waiting areas, restaurants, and cafes. Unlike many other major theme parks around the world, Europa Park doesn’t seem to have AC, fans, or shaded cooling spots in queues or dining areas, which made the visit quite uncomfortable, especially under the scorching sun. Another downside was the behavior of some employees. At the Arthur ride, after finishing the attraction, we went to check our ride photos, and the staff member was extremely rude and disrespectful , speaking to us harshly simply because she claimed she couldn’t hear us properly even though we clearly stated our cart number. Later, in the Lindt chocolate shop (Switzerland Section), an employee gave us unwelcoming looks and side-eyes, likely because we wear hijabs. Her attitude made us so uncomfortable that we left without buying anything, despite our initial excitement to get some chocolates. Overall, Europa Park is a fantastic theme park with incredible rides, great food, and a well-structured layout. However, the lack of cooling systems in hot weather and the unprofessional behavior of some staff members really affected our experience. The park should improve guest comfort by adding fans or AC in waiting areas and train employees to be more respectful and inclusive toward visitors from all backgrounds.

First time at Europa Park and it definitely lived up to the hype. The park is huge, super clean and really well organized. My ride ranking: 1. Blue Fire was my absolute favorite. Smooth, fast and so much fun. I rode it twice and would have gone again if I could. 2. Voltron and Silver Star both came in close behind. Voltron’s launch is wild, and Silver Star’s height and airtime make it unforgettable. I also did both of these twice. 3. Wodan looks amazing but is way too loud and rough for my taste. 4. Euro Mir is a cool idea, but it just gives you a headache more than anything. Overall, an awesome park with tons to do and a great atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

We come here regularly since more than 20 years now and discover something new every time, and are never disappointed by the fun, level to detail and friendliness! Decoration was fantastic again and the shows and parade are great! As for other news: Especially the “baby-swap” option this time, where both parents can enjoy good rides without having to queue twice. And the most amazing feature of the app is the virtual queue! Thank you for all those innovative updates, every time we come!

Park
Nestled in the heart of a forest near Kintzheim, La Montagne des Singes is a wildlife park spanning 24 hectares where over 200 Barbary macaques roam freely. Visitors can embark on a guided forest walk to observe these fascinating creatures and learn about their behavior from the knowledgeable staff. The park also features a playground area for children, offering an interactive experience that allows them to simulate being monkeys.
We visited Monkey Mountain today and we had so much fun! The monkeys roam freely throughout the park and get really close to people. You are not supposed to touch them or anything, but they do not seem to mind people being near them. There are many workers in the park, and all of them were very friendly and offered to answer any questions we had about the monkeys. Many of the workers spoke French, English, and German fluently. Killian asked us if we had any questions about the monkeys and explained to us about the different groups of monkeys in the park and even showed us where there was a baby monkey with its mom. We learned a lot about the park and monkeys from him. It was really hot when we were there and many of the monkeys were taking naps or relaxing but they were still visible, active, and fun to watch. We got to see a number of younger monkeys jumping off tree branches into a small pool of water for fun. There were some newborn baby monkeys visible as well. After leaving the monkey area, there were little talks and activities along the path. There was a gift shop and then an adventure playground where my kids spent so much time climbing around. The park also has a Cafe with drinks and snacks. Parking was free and readily available. Overall this was a fun place to visit for people of all ages.

This place was awesome. The monkeys just walk around unbothered, the staff are super friendly and we caught it at a time when there were so many sweet babies to see. Be respectful and follow the rules... Some don't, which is unfortunate. These are wild animals not pets.

This is such a beautiful zoo. The monkeys are all roaming freely around and the staff is very friendly and answers all your questions. I can highly recommend
Sabine — Google review
A very unique experience. The monkeys are uncaged in open areas. It is a very safe atmosphere. There are quite a few staff members monitoring and guiding us through our walk in the park. We are also informed on Do's and Dont's before we enter the park. It was really interesting to see the monkeys up close and they are also well behaved, doing their own thing. Free parking available onsite. There is a cafe/restaurant and a gift shop present here too. The staff are really kind and helpful.

It's a nice activity to do with children. From Selestat train station It's a 10 minute drive. If you don't have a acres, there is a bus (500) that will take you there . The monkeys trail took us around 30 minutes maximum, but outside, there is a cafeteria and a nice picnic area, and a great obstacle trail for kids, and a small playground. Overall our visit was around 3 hours. Beautiful forest. Stroller friendly.

Triberg Waterfalls

Hiking area
Waterfalls
Triberg Waterfalls, touted as one of Germany's highest waterfalls, is a must-visit attraction in Triberg. Although it may not hold the title for the absolute highest waterfall in Germany, standing at 162 meters tall and cascading down 7 steps into the valley below, it certainly offers an impressive sight. Accessible via a hiking trail, this paid attraction has managed to preserve its natural beauty.
A must-visit in the heart of the Black Forest! Triberg Waterfall impresses with its seven-tiered cascades and lush forest setting. The trails are well-marked, family-friendly, and offer stunning photo spots. While it’s not a single dramatic drop, the natural charm, fresh mountain air, and occasional squirrel sightings make it a memorable stop. 🎒📸 💡 Tip: Go early or during off-peak hours for a peaceful experience. Don’t miss the night illumination if you’re around in the evening!

The student ticket costs 0.50€ less than the usual adult tickets The waterfalls is absolutely beautiful and you can hike all the way to the top for different views. There are various hiking trails to explore the entire area. Sometimes you'll get to see the endemic red squirrel.

An easy nature trail accessible with asphalt, but its elevation is not easy for those who have difficulty walking or strollers. Relatively reasonable entrance prices. Most of it is shaded and pleasant. The entire trail and the beauty you see in the waterfall of the humpbacked trees are very beautiful and a highly recommended place.

Safiya — Google review
The Triberg Waterfalls are really beautiful and worth seeing! The views are amazing, and the walk through the forest feels fresh and peaceful. You can take great photos and enjoy nature all around. However, the entry fee felt a bit high for such a short walk, and the place can get quite crowded, especially on weekends. Parking can also be tricky if you come late. Overall, it’s a lovely place to visit once — great for nature lovers, but be ready for a bit of a crowd and some walking uphill.
Abhishek T — Google review
The ticket (8€ per adult) also gives you access to a few other museums (so do this one first!). Dog friendly. Pretty waterfall. A bit of a slow and steady hike up to the top. Lots of people with camera tripods capturing the perfect pics.
Adele P — Google review
Visited the waterfalls for free. Get on the path to the Froschbrunnen (Frog Fountain), ignoring all signs saying no path to the waterfalls. Once at the Frog Fountain take the right-most path from it & stay on this as it curves left around the hill & you will eventually see the swarms of tourists down below you on the lower waterfall paths. Take the first available path down to join the path around the waterfalls. You can either exit back the way you came, or go out through the turnstile that the paying tourists come through at the bottom of the waterfalls.

The Unterlinden Museum, located in a former 13th-century Dominican convent, is a captivating blend of religious and local history alongside an impressive art collection. One of its most renowned pieces is the Isenheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grunewald, known for its powerful depiction of Jesus' story and its historical significance as a source of solace for medieval hospital patients.
It was very positive... I was more keen this time on contemporary art works which are breathtaking and it invited me to humility... Yes, they speak much beyond what I understand now..

A stunning mix of medieval depth and modern elegance. The Isenheim Altarpiece alone is worth the visit – intense, haunting, unforgettable. The museum’s layout blends old and new beautifully, and the collection ranges from ancient artifacts to Picasso. Informative displays in multiple languages and a calm atmosphere make it ideal for a 2–3 hour visit. Highly recommended for anyone interested in art, architecture, or history.

I don’t often rate museums but this one deserves it. The Isenheim Altarpiece is the star of the show, and they do it perfectly. Plenty of space is given to each set of panels. Plenty of educational materials are readily available. And bless them for this-benches so one can sit and contemplate. Generous space is also allowed sit the masterpiece can be thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. The rest of the museum is a delight. A wide range of art and artifacts from the history of Colmar and Alsace is presented. Again-with thought and thoroughness.

Colmar Old Town

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Vieille Ville, also known as the Old Town of Colmar, is a picturesque and charming area that feels like something out of a fairy tale. The streets are lined with colorful half-timbered houses, creating a storybook-like atmosphere. Visitors can wander through narrow cobblestone streets and explore local cafes, bakeries, and shops offering crafts. St. Martin's Church stands as an impressive architectural marvel in this historic district.
It is an extremely beautiful town. It is better to be called a living museum. The only drawback is the large number of tourists visiting there. Maybe it is better to target a period where tourism is at its lowest level so you can enjoy it more. On weekends you can buy a cheaper family ticket from Strasbourg for Colmar and the whole region

The area features colorful half-timbered houses dating back to the 14th to the 18th centuries, originally inhabited by wine-producers, market gardeners, and boatmen. The tradition of painting houses according to the occupants' business adds to its charm.
Best apartment we stayed in whilst on our 2 week tour of Europe!!! So cosy, comfortable beds and sofa! A TV we could actually listen to as had the option to change some channels to English. Such a lovely view also! Right out on to the little canal! Highly recommend!!!

This place is in a great location, but is very dirty and has broken doors, broken lights, a broken shower. It is a beautiful home on the outside, and is in a great location but it has been very poorly managed and neglected and it is obvious when you stay there. Great if all you care about is the location, but avoid it if you want to have a decent place to stay.
Chad H — Google review
A "Real Eyeopener"! This compact "old town" area of Southeast Colmar is a place "not to be missed" by visitors! It gets its name due to the "historic houses" built on both sides of the small, meandering, Lauch River.... and the "fairy tale vibe". The area is wonderful to walk around-- and has cobbled streets, colourful "half-timbered" houses, and a "covered market". It can also be seen by boat. It has been awarded by TripAdvisor the esteemed "Certificate of Excellence". It is indeed well worth a visit. It is no wonder that it has been rated as one of the "top of places" to visit/things to do, while in Colmar. It will definitely add to one's memories of the visit. I hope that this Review has been helpful.

Lovely time walking around Home Little Venice there's so much more than the picturesque bridge's to see with a few lovely restaurants along the canal, and little boat trip back and forth .

The market was absolutely perfect! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, filled with lively stalls and an amazing variety of products. It was a pleasure just to walk around, surrounded by wonderful scents and the energy of a bustling market. What really stood out to me was the friendliness of the vendors – every interaction was warm and pleasant, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s the kind of place where you can spend hours exploring, tasting, and soaking up the local culture. Truly a must-visit!
Barak W — Google review
A large and very impressive place, with beautiful interior architecture. The main hall is stunning and worth the visit. However, the climb to the top is not particularly special. Once you reach the upper level, you can pay extra to go a bit higher, but it’s unnecessary and not worth the money. The stairs are narrow, making it extremely difficult to pass when people are coming in the opposite direction — the same problem on the way down. You can also see the bell up close, but be aware that the sound is deafening.

Cathedral’s history started being Romanesque church around 1200, transitioned to Gothic structure in 1250s (inspired by nearby Strasbourg cathedral) with West Tower being completed in 1330. While the city was heavily bombed in WW2, cathedral survived with minor damage (likely due to being notable landmark for Allied Bombers).

I became aware of Freiburger Münster on my first day in Freiburg. It's really hard to miss the sight of it. I visited it on my first night when it was lit up. The enormous size of it and amount of decorative detail left me speechless. One day I noticed that the front entrance was open for visitors, so I took the opportunity. I wasn't prepared for the grandure that awaited me inside. The vast volume of the interior left my mouth hanging open many times as I analyzed the columns and ceilings. I spent alot of time studying the stained glass windows which depict many vivid stories. What's great about the windows is that you absolutely can't experience them the same way from outside. The quality of light inside the cathedral, from the outside light when it hits the windows, is only fit for a structure this caliber. Please, out of respect, obey the signs and dont walk over or through the areas which are clearly marked off. Also, please dont take videos and photo's of the inside, just enjoy the experience of the moment.

Badeparadies Schwarzwald is a tropical indoor paradise featuring a variety of attractions for visitors of all ages. The Galaxy Schwarzwald offers over 20 different thrilling water slides, including the Freefall and Monster Halfpipe. For those seeking relaxation, the Palmenoase provides a tranquil atmosphere with real palm trees, indoor and outdoor pools, as well as a pool bar. Additionally, the wellness area offers various saunas, steam rooms, beauty treatments, and massage options.
Truly a paradise where you can easily spend a lot of time. Quite high prices but it’s really worth it. Pay attention to age entrance policy for kids. They have two areas: lagoon for kids up to 4 and slide zone from 4. Actually your 3 year old is allowed to go to the both. But lagoon zone is just perfect and much quieter. The food was also awesome! And pool bar was cherry on cake! We loved it. Clean, spacious, just awesome!

My partner and I recently spent time at Badeparadies Schwarzwald, and it was amazing. Everything from the moment we arrived felt well thought out and relaxing. The pools are beautiful, clean, and varied — there’s something for every mood, whether you want relaxing thermal waters, more energetic swims, or quiet spots to just unwind. The wellness areas are superb, and the overall ambience just lets you let go. Staff are friendly, helpful, and really create a calm, welcoming vibe. The only thing I would recommend is come on a day that is slightly less busy. As crowds & Queues can form quickly around the slides or the bubble areas in the pools. We came away feeling refreshed and happy. Would absolutely return
Jack F — Google review
Great place to enjoy with family, kids. water rides for every age group. Highly recommended for short half day trip. Full day is too much as slides are limited.. Restaurant is small with less options. We went on my son birthday but didn't get any discount or free tickets for the birthday kid so we need to buy extra ticket for him. On spot ticket buying is costlier therefore book in advance.
Ashi — Google review
Tickets on the spot are a little more pricey than online. We paid €58 for 2 adults (daytickets). We also rented a bath towel each for €4 a piece. There is a wristband system, each wristband has their own locker number. Any consumption you make/order can be put on the wristband so you can pay when you turn them in at the end of your visit. Handy, as long as you keep track of how much you spend. As it is easy to lose sight of that with a system like this. Prices inside are very good honestly, I don't understand the people who say they're expensive. 4,90 for a THICK slice of Schwarzwalder panna cotta cherry cake and a latte macchiato for about 4,80 as well is more than decent. People are super nice too! Swim up bar is a nice touch. We came for the palm oasis pool thing, Galaxy (slide park) was closed, and we dont really like the nude sauna part that is the vital area thing, but we spent like 4 hours in the normal part of the pool. Nice places to lounge, enjoy the sun, and the salt bath definitely was a nice experience. They also organize various activities like aqua bingo, various treatments, and you can get massages too. We'd love to come back when we are in the area! The staff was pleasant and friendly and the facilities are fantastic.

We visited Badeparadies Schwarzwald expecting a high-quality experience, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the price tag. Pros: – The Lagoon area is designed like a 5-star Egyptian resort — palm trees, plenty of loungers, and a nice tropical vibe. – The Vital Sauna area is decent and relaxing — but it comes at an extra cost. Cons: – Extremely overpriced. Base entry is around €60 per person — and that’s without towels, robes, flip-flops, food, or even basic soap in the showers. With meals, drinks, and parking, we spent about €250 for two. – The Galaxy area is small and overcrowded, with very limited entertainment. No inflatable tubes available, and the outdoor pool space is tiny — basically unusable if it’s busy. – Some slides feel unsafe — we witnessed five people in a row hit their temples on the same slide. – Food and drinks are mediocre — cocktails are bland and forgettable. – Even if you pay for a reserved lounger, other guests will try to take it, even if your belongings are clearly there. No real enforcement. – Security staff walk around in groups of five, staring people down — creating more tension than safety. – No real thermal water — it’s just regular heated chlorinated pool water. Conclusion: Badeparadies Schwarzwald tries to look like a luxury wellness resort, but in reality, it’s just a regular waterpark with a pretty facade and a massively inflated price. If you go on a quiet day, it might be enjoyable. But during weekends or busy times, it turns into an overpriced, crowded, and underwhelming experience.

2023: Yeah okay it is expensive, but I had an awesome 4 hour relaxing stay and it is worth it. Go on a evening and it is a quiet place. 2025: So I came back a few years later, This time we enjoyed it like 1000 times better. Not sure why but I would actually highly recommend this place. This time the slides were open as well, so we ran like little childs through the swimming area and took like 100 slides. Parked out motorcycles outside, all your gear can go in their lockers and I would definitely come back.

Titisee, a 1.3-square-kilometer glacial lake nestled in the Black Forest of Germany, is a popular destination offering various activities such as boating and fishing.

The area's geological history is intertwined with the formation of Lake Titisee, which was left behind as the Feldberg glacier retreated around 10,000 years ago.

The Cassiopeia Therme in Badenweiler is such a beautiful and relaxing place. We went in the evening, and it was truly magical once it got dark outside - the calm atmosphere, the warm lights, and the peaceful pools made it an unforgettable experience.

A perfect spot to unwind and recharge - we’ll definitely come back next time we’re in Badenweiler!

The Musée National de l'Automobile, also known as the Cité de l'Automobile or the Mulhouse Car Museum, is a vast complex that houses over 500 classic, prestige, and racing cars. It is considered the largest car museum in the world. The museum showcases the history of automobiles from their inception in the late 19th century to present day.
What a place! Totally didn't expect it to be quite this big or have as many cars and exhibits!! It is well worth the entrance fee and the exhibits are laid out really well. It has around 500 cars and 120 Bugatti's on display! The restaurant is great too and decent value. If you are in the area, visit and spend the afternoon seeing some great cars!

If you’re a fan of classic cars, this museum is a mustsee. The collection is vast and seems endless, with many beautifully preserved vintage models. During my visit, there was also a special Tintin exhibition, which made it even more enjoyable.

This was a quick day trip for us while staying in Basel. Amazing collection of automotive history and well worth spending a few hours to explore. The collection of cars from the Tintin books was very cool, particularly if you're a Tintin fan like me!

DEFINITELY A MUST if you're in Mulhouse area, east France. The fact that Musée National de l'Automobile has an collection of more than 400+ cars ranging from more than 100 years ago, is amazing itself. Not to mention they have probably the world most complete collection of Bugatti, like almost a hundred of them. And one of them in the Masterpiece area, the 1936 50T Cabriolet, is now the world most expensive vehicle, worth 100M Euro !!! The details of it, and the idea of building a luxury car back to almost 100 years ago, is really highly admired.

One of the best car museums i’ve ever been. It’s really worth every penny you’re paying for it. Tons of great, rare and unique pieces you will find there. Nice location, brilliant realisation. All cars are in good condition, and like in any other real museum, you can smell oil, gasoline and old leather from them. If you have kids or you just unbelievably love cars, you’ll be happy there

Millions of dollars worth of cars, and they couldn’t get a decent translator for the placards? Honestly it became kind of amusing just how bad the English translations were after a while. The cars are stunning, there is no denying that. Arguably the most complete collection of vintage Bugattis in the world (but surprisingly no modern ones - no Chiron, EB110, not even a Veyron? Maybe they’re locked away somewhere else) 1/4 of the cars in the main hall were covered in white drapes due to construction. To the contractors/ museum officials, I say to you: “ plastic sheeting comes in transparent forms”. Overall a vanity project of a (now dead) rich white guy but there’s some stellar automotive and racing history laid out in these rooms. You’re in Mulhouse, you’re likely gonna go.

Quite possibly one of the greatest car collections in the world. The outside is Beautifully presented... Upon entering the building you have no idea of how overwhelming this place can be. As you begin walking around and seeing a few cars you get lulled into it being a normal museum.... But then you walk into the room with a few Bugattis... You keep walking and seeing more Bugattis... Then you realise, one whole side is just Bugattis 🤯 Then you see the Bugatti Royale.. and realise hold on the have two Bugatti Royales 🤯 .. This place is crazy the sheer number of Bugattis and special cars is crazy... Then the story of the Schlumpf brothers ... Simply put, if you are a car lover you must come here... It's epic.. The shock value never diminishes even after multiple trips

One of the best car collections I have seen. From old to new and some extremely rare peices. We spent about 3 hours in here. There were lots of other things inside to keep children entertained too. There was a section all about Tintin which showed the different books and the cars linked to it which was nice. There was a driving simulator, small ride on cars and a vr F1 experience.

Train City

Mentioned on 
16 lists 
Museum
Specialty Museums
Cité du Train is a modern museum dedicated to the history of trains and railways, featuring an extensive collection of rolling stock and audiovisual exhibitions. It is renowned as the largest railway museum globally, with three main exhibits showcasing the evolution of rail travel through different eras. The museum's comprehensive scope has expanded over the years, including notable additions such as the famous TGV-Atlantique #325, which set a speed record in the early 1990s.
Definitely one of the great Train Museums of the World. Apart from the normal for Europe rolling stock, they even have three American made Locomotives. A MUST see if you're interested in History and Technology. Kid friendly, they have two kid rides.
Hector G — Google review
If you are a train fan, reserve 3-4 hours of your time to see everything. For everyone else: at least 2 hours to just walk the whole thing. Fantastic collection, large and diverse. Great for all ages; there are educational sections, too, to learn how trains work. Entrance was 16 EUR, which, in my opinion, is absolutely reasonable for the content you are getting. There is a local restaurant on site where you can eat for 15-20 EUR per adult, drinks included. Very easy access by public transport: 20-minute tram ride + 450-meter walk.

Nice railway museum with lots of examples of former trains (including various record-breaking locomotives and TGV trains!). There’s a gift shop and restaurant. Staff were really friendly and helpful.
Rob ( — Google review
Visiting this museum truly felt like an authentic journey back in time. The sheer variety of the trains on display was incredibly impressive; I honestly never imagined that locomotives and passenger cars could be so stunningly beautiful. I was especially fascinated to learn about the most luxurious 'apartment trains,' which were essentially rolling homes complete with sleeping rooms, dining cars, showers, and even private cabinets. It was a genuine surprise to see how many domestic comforts were available on the rails, historically and perhaps even today. What truly sets this museum apart is its immersive organization. It’s not just a static collection of old trains, but a thoughtful presentation of a specific historical era. The museum does an excellent job of creating the atmosphere of the past by installing various figures to simulate scenes of travel and daily life. While I would agree that the figures themselves weren't always aesthetically perfect, the recreated scenes and detailed environments successfully brought the history to life, offering a powerful sense of context and time.

As descripted, one of biggest railway museum. Collection mapping mainly french rail history, wich is luckily also world history. Interesantly and complexive. I mean here is possibly everything (about french history in any case) , exept Andre Chapelon´s SNCF 240P class (some other is). For me is it Must see!

Basler Münster

Mentioned on 
29 lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Basler Münster, also known as Basel Minster, is a stunning Gothic-style Protestant cathedral with origins dating back to the 9th century. Its red sandstone walls, colorful roof tiles, and twin towers make it an iconic landmark in Basel. The cathedral's construction spanned several centuries and features a mix of Romantic and Gothic styles. Destroyed in an earthquake in 1356, the impressive structure was rebuilt and converted into a Reformed Protestant Church.
Fantastic views from the top of Basel Munster! It costs 6 CHF to go to the top and there is an opportunity to get magnificent views out at different levels as well as a two towers! The cathedral itself is beautiful and I would recommend a walk around before heading up the towers!
Ben S — Google review
Definitely worth the visit, the building is beautifully crafted. If you walk behind the building you will have an excellent view overlooking the River. Lots of people were having picnics and relaxing here.

Solo travelers are not allowed to climb the towers, for suicide prevention reasons. You can find another tourist and ask to accompany them, but without the employee seeing this. Don't let them know you are strangers. There's a small fee to climb the towers and it's well worth it. Basel Minster was built between the 11th and 16th centuries in a blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles. After the 1356 earthquake, it was significantly rebuilt incorporating Gothic elements such as pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and large stained-glass windows. The cathedral is made of red sandstone and is notable for its two main towers, St. George’s and St. Martin’s, and its patterned tile roof. The Minster served as the Catholic cathedral until the Reformation in 1529, after which it became a Reformed Protestant church. The Gallus Gate at Basel Minster is the oldest Romanesque figure portal in the German-speaking world, built around 1185. In the tympanum is Christ as Judge of the World, accompanied by Peter and a donor figure, while the lintel below shows the Parable of the Ten Virgins. During the Reformation in Basel (1529), iconoclasm took place at Basel Minster as part of the city’s shift from Catholicism to Protestantism. Religious images, statues, and altars that were seen as idolatrous were removed or destroyed. The interior today remains relatively bare compared to its original medieval design.

It was originally built in the 1000’s as a Roman Catholic Cathedral and became a Protestant church. There’s no fee to get in the church but there’s a fee to go up the top. Behind the church is the Rhine River.

Don’t miss the chance to reach the top of the church. While climbing, it might seem like you’ve reached the end, but be sure to check—there’s a good chance there’s a way to go even higher."

Had a free walk around then spotted people paying to go up the towers. We tried this for a small charge and it's well worth the steep steps to go to the 3 levels available. Bit tight at times depending on how many people go up but numbers are controlled.

A very beautiful and nice cathedral! You can have an amazing view over Basel from the top!
Codrin G — Google review
Basel Minster is absolutely worth a visit! I’ve climbed several church towers across Switzerland, but this one had the narrowest spire staircase I’ve ever squeezed through! It’s a bit of a tight spiral toward the top, but that only adds to the adventure. Once you reach the viewing platform, you’re rewarded with panoramic views of Basel, the Rhine, and even into France and Germany on a clear day. The cathedral itself is beautifully maintained, with intricate stonework and a peaceful courtyard. It’s a perfect mix of charm, challenge, and postcard-worthy scenery. Don’t miss it!

Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Established in 1874, Zoo Basel is the oldest zoo in Switzerland and a must-visit attraction. Known as "Zolli" by locals, it houses a diverse range of animals including gorillas, snow leopards, lions, elephants, giraffes, and chimpanzees. The well-maintained park offers a pleasant summer stroll while the animal houses and vivarium are popular during winter.
A compact zoo by size but full of animals. It's way easier to get through this than the one in Zurich if you're with small kids. The aquarium is gorgeous!

This zoo os great with kids. The surounding are made with so many details in mind, everything is green when you walk around. My kids and I loved it. There is great food stations too, amany animals. Especially the aquarium part is super big and nice too. The only downside, its in the middle of the city of Basel, a little hard to get too.
Simon — Google review
Love love this place- I went pretty late (4-6pm). Although I skipped the crowds, some of the animals were already in their enclosures (not in exhibit), but it didn’t detract from my joy of being there. Loved the vivarium, farm animals, snow leopard, flamingos, meerkats, and penguins. I would have loved to be able to see the new hippo baby though :(.
Karen D — Google review
Zoo was good for a city zoo. I don't want to spoil it so only posted a miniscule amount of photos. I loved going into the bird house. It had some levels to it so find the elevator or stairs. Spent from just after 9am until 4pm.

It is very convenient. With stroller we could go through the whole Zoo. We were lucky we could see all the animals. They have huge space in the restaurant & also banks everywhere to sit.

It's a very strange and beautiful place. They let the penguins walk freely in the zoo. However, the path was very clean. The staff there were very kind. Everything was good. I was there for 6 hours and I didn't want to leave at all. It was very enjoyable to be with the animals. I wish they were free in the wild, but the animals are having fun there too. The animals are definitely happy there. I recommend you to go there to enjoy being with nature.

Mountains
Uetliberg, often referred to as Zurich's local mountain, is a small but beloved peak offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city, Lake Zurich, and even the Alps on clear days. Accessible by a short tram ride from the main train station followed by a brief walk, this mountain is popular year-round. Visitors can enjoy family-friendly hikes, picnics in summer, and toboggan runs in winter.
Wonderful nature experience. Many beautiful streets. Very good walking paths. Beautiful views.

Beautiful view of Zurich and surrounding area. Only a little over hour hike from the bottom to the top. Highly recommend
Lejmanowski — Google review
On the one day I had to visit Uetliberg, the trains were closed. There were replacement busses. It was still very convenient to get there, and then get back to the city centre when I was done. The views are breathtaking. Make it a priority to budget some time to visit Uetliberg when in Zurich.
Bryan S — Google review
We had a fantastic time here! Getting to this beautiful location is a breeze, with buses and trains stopping right there. The hiking trails are easy to navigate, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. On a clear day, you get a full panoramic vista of Lake Zürich and the majestic Alps. The whole area is wonderfully clean, which really makes the experience even better. At the summit, you can take a well-deserved break and enjoy the view. You can bring your own food or buy something from the food stand or the 'Top of Zürich' restaurant. For an unforgettable perspective, be sure to pay the small fee to climb the view tower—it's worth it! A friendly tip: remember to have some coins handy for the public restrooms!!!
Marialena M — Google review
If you’re in Zürich, Uetliberg is a must. Take the S10 commuter train from Zürich HB - it stops at Triemli if you want to start a longer hike, or you can ride it all the way up to Uetliberg station. From there it’s a short uphill walk; you should be reasonably surefooted, but it’s not too difficult. At the top you’re rewarded with a perfect panorama of the city, the lake (Zürisee), and on clear days even the Alps.
EzADivat — Google review
This is a must if you are visiting Zurich, it provides great views of the city. You can hike up to the summit or take public transport. As my son can't walk far we chose public transport. Normally you can get the train but it's not currently running although there was a replacement bus service. The bus dropped us about ten mins from the top and we walked the final section. At the top there's plenty to do, a food truck and a restaurant up there. You can also head up the tower for an even better view, it costs 2 swiss francs payable by card at the gate. One thing you need to do is make sure the transaction goes through before someone comes down or you could be charged without going through.
