Beautiful church, worth the entrance fee. It was like a museum to me, with all the description and history around it. Parts of it have been renovated over a period of time, so it has a combination of modern and old build and feel. Must visit when you are in Thorn.

Affordable 6£ a person. Small place, interesting to explore, relevant to region. It has a gift shop, coffee area, coat room, bathrooms. Great if you want to see a museum quickly. #architecture focused

Lovely park with vast grounds where you can interact with animals and watch a bird of pray show. We visited in winter and enjoyed it despite the cold. The animals were out and about and we could feed them with the food bought at the park - you can but it at the ticket office and then stock up some more at vending machines throughout the park (bring coins). Also, bring clothes you don’t mind getting dirty as some animals will jump or lean on you to get food. Our kids absolutely loved it and they also enjoyed walking through the small bird enclosure and having parakeets and budgies sit on their shoes and land on their arms. There’s a playground inside, as well as a snack kiosk and outside the park you’ll find a restaurant with typical german fare (think schnitzel and fries). There’s plenty of parking (free), especially if you arrive early. But do keep in mind that most foreign credit (and debit) cards are not accepted (e.g. Visa) so bring cash.

Very beautiful with different plants coverage. Even in November, it looks pretty. I went for a 15 k hike ...

A very chilling yet interesting place to visit. It has an amazing view. The site is very big. If you’re into history, then i totally recommend this place. From there you can also start a 4 hour hiking tour that goes around the sea and back to site.

Exceptionally friendly staff. Had the scrambled eggs Mediterranean, and the Chili's just add a perfect touch to it. Atmosphere was pleasant and didn't feel crowded despite the restaurant being full.

Super cute small castle 45 minutes drive out from Bonn or Cologne. I went there during the Christmas Season, when they host a market. The atmosphere was super nice, with many small tents and vendors offering food, drinks and souvenirs. The castle has a main court and a backyard field, with different stalls and cabins. I think they have also accomodation where you can spend the night. From a flyer i catch on the way, i could read they have many different events along the year, with chavalry tournaments, and middle age markets, that are perfectly staged on the venue. They recreate an authentic atmosphere, and there is also a perdoemative factor that makes the experince enjoyable, with theatre plays and encatings.

It was amazing experience playing here. They have 3 different playing field and we played in all of them. It was very realistic experience and we fill thrilled.

We visited Therme Euskirchen on Saturday and had an amazing time! The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, and the combination of the pools and saunas makes for a perfect day of wellness. The property is very well-maintained, and everything feels clean and inviting. We especially enjoyed the pool area and the variety of saunas. The only downside is that the Aufguss sessions can get a bit crowded, but it’s still worth experiencing. We also ate at the restaurant and tried the Pad Thai and the pizza, both of which were delicious and reasonably priced. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will definitely be coming back for another visit!

Unforgettable Family Day at Phantasialand! We had an amazing time at Phantasialand on our family day! Everything was incredibly well organized from start to finish. The staff were all super friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcome everywhere we went. The food and drinks were not only delicious, but also very reasonably priced — a pleasant surprise for a theme park! We really appreciated the variety and quality without having to spend a fortune. Another big plus: the facilities were spotless. The restrooms were clean throughout the day, which made the experience even more comfortable for our whole family. All in all, Phantasialand offered a fantastic day out with top-notch organization, great value, and lots of fun for all ages. We’ll definitely be back!

Majestic…. In every angle. Firstly a great place of worship. A great prayer hall, architecture, gothic at is best. The entrances from east and west are not to be missed of its details. The north with two mighty towers offers best of it. The huge windows with itched glasses depicting various holy characters are worth watching in details. It takes one full day to enjoy this place in and out.

Cologne Central Station is one of the best and most convenient train stations I’ve used in Germany. It’s very well-connected, with frequent trains to major cities like Frankfurt, Berlin, and Amsterdam. The station is clean, organized, and easy to navigate, even for travelers who don’t speak German. Signs are clear and available in English, and the staff were helpful when I had questions. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, and even halal food options nearby. The location is also perfect—just next to the beautiful Cologne Cathedral, so you can enjoy sightseeing even during a short stop. Overall, a great experience. Safe, efficient, and comfortable. Highly recommended for both local and international travelers!

A fantastic museum for modern and contemporary art lovers. Museum Ludwig has an impressive collection; from Picasso and Warhol to Lichtenstein and contemporary German artists. The layout is spacious and well organized, making it easy to explore at your own pace. Some temporary exhibitions are truly thought-provoking and beautifully curated. The view of Cologne Cathedral from the upper floors is a bonus also. It’s definitely worth spending a couple of hours here. If you enjoy art, don’t skip it while in Cologne.

Great way to enjoy a 360° view of the city of Cologne. The entrance ticket costs 5€, you then take an elevator for 29 floors and arrive on the roof of the skyscraper. Unfortunately there are protection glasses so it's not easy to take good pictures. I think that the panorama give its best at night.

What a lovely day out with great friends! Weather was cooperating and most of the animals were out and about! Some we did not see because they were hiding or somewhere else but there was still plenty others to see. We loved the dinosaurs too! Stopped by the restaurant for some lunch which was also very nice. Lots of bees/wasps flying around while we were seated eating, so maybe not a great place if you are allergic, but otherwise really nice. Bathrooms were easy to find and it was easy getting in and out. Loved how playful the others were being! Thank you from the US!!

Lovely place for an easy hike, mild breeze and a great view. Lush green perimeter and some benches to sit and relax.

We recently visited Duisburg Zoo, and overall, it was a great but mixed experience. 👍 What I Liked: The zoo features some unique animals you don’t usually see in other German zoos—like red panda, koalas, manatees, elephants, and even Tasmanian devils, which was a nice surprise. The layout is quite spacious and natural, with wooded surroundings and open paths. It felt more like a walk in the park with animal stops along the way. Big animals like elephants have enough space for themselves, and the zoo even mimic what's their real niche. They also have colourful aquariums with beautiful corals and farms. Great for families! There are playgrounds and picnic areas scattered around, making it easy to spend a full day with kids. For photography lovers, it’s a solid spot. Many enclosures offer good visibility without too much glare or obstruction. What Could Be Better: Some parts of the zoo feel a bit dated. A few enclosures could definitely use a facelift or renovation. I did have concerns about animal welfare, especially with the gorillas and elephants—some seemed anxious or restless. Great value for money and the highlight and the crowd pleaser is the Dolphin show. They have names like Delfin, Delfina, Daisy.. 🎟️ Practical Info: Entrance fee: ~€19.50 for adults, ~€11 for kids.

Public park, has a lot of magnificent things to see, î visited mostly because Im a Hunger games fan and some parts where filmed there for The ballad of songbirds and snakes. They also filmed Sunrise on the reaping there. But in general it’s a beautiful place to visit, just walk around, take pictures, enjoy. There might even be some events finding place there, when I was there there was a street food festival

One of its kind hanging train. The train is in service from early 1900's. An amazing engineering feat! The Bahn Route covers scenic places. It runs above river, roads. Try to occupy the last seat as it provides the best visual treat!

(Translated by Google) This castle is simply wonderful... definitely worth a visit! The staff are all incredibly friendly. (Original) Diese Burg ist einfach wunderbar....sollte sich auf jeden Fall anschauen Die Mitarbeiter sind alles super freundlich

Stunning view and a very relaxing atmosphere. Perfect place for a picnic with friends. Unfortunately the parking is full

Mega

Absolutely stunning place with one of the most fantastic acoustics in Europe in the Grand Hall. Pretty large, adjustable scene, separate space for the choir, large organ. The sound system is very modern, the lighting system offers many options for variety of occasions. The seats are movable so the hall could be used for different events. The decoration and the lighting fixtures are just beautiful! There are few back rooms for the performers. The building also features a chamber hall and few other event rooms.

The Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site is truly a unique place to visit. It is calm, clean, and beautifully maintained, offering wide open spaces perfect for walking or jogging. The mix of industrial history and modern culture makes it both inspiring and relaxing. Whether you want to enjoy peaceful strolls, explore its fascinating architecture, or simply unwind in a serene atmosphere, Zollverein is a must-see destination that combines heritage with tranquility.

We were a group of five visiting Movie Park Germany on a public holiday, and we arrived around noon. Before entering, there was a thorough security check, which I found very reassuring—it made me feel safe throughout the entire day in the park. Inside, you can find a variety of restaurants, snack stands, and sweet stalls offering treats such as crêpes, churros, gummy bears, fries, and pizza slices. There are also plenty of restrooms located conveniently around the park. Movie Park Germany is a fantastic destination for families with young children, but also for groups of friends or adults looking for excitement. The park features several roller coasters, ranging from family-friendly rides to adrenaline-filled thrill rides like Star Trek: Operation Enterprise, which even launches you backward, and Van Helsing’s Factory, a dark ride coaster with sharp turns. The safety measures on all attractions are excellent, and staff are very attentive. Since we visited during the Halloween Horror Festival, we booked two of the horror houses: The Hell House and Blood Moon: The Trailer House. Both experiences were intense, immersive, and absolutely worth the extra cost. The Halloween theming across the park was very detailed and atmospheric, with actors, decorations, and special effects adding to the experience. The only downside was that the groups in the horror houses were admitted too close together, which sometimes broke the illusion and caused a bit of crowding inside. One thing to note is the parking situation: there is no payment machine directly in the parking lot. You need to purchase your parking ticket inside the park before returning to your car. As the distance between the parking area and the park entrance is not very short, it’s definitely easier to buy the ticket in advance before heading back. Overall, Movie Park Germany is a great choice for a fun day out, whether you love thrill rides, entertaining shows, or seasonal events like Halloween.

Really interesting museum! The underground section was the highlight – very well-maintained, safe, and gives you a real feel of what mining was like. You can see a lot of mining technology and learn about its history in Germany. Everything is well organized and informative. The staff speaks English, making the experience accessible for international visitors. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Bochum!

A great place to bring future star Gazers, They have kids shows, for kids starting from the ages of 4, my kids 4 and 9 loved it, the show incorporated star constellations, so there was something there for everyone, with lots of information , we will visit again I want to see what the other shows for older kids are like, at the moment (August 2022) masks still need to be worn inside, also as a small note the one kids show we saw had slightly older CGI, but the kids really enjoyed it, i have seen from the websire that each show is different, but the information is well brought over for the kids and we had 2 very happy kids when we left

They don't call it a mall. It's a place where festival shopping can be done daily. All brands have shops there. A nice place to spend the weekend.

Another must-visit place, it s not too far from bochum or other cities there, kind of a suburban. City centre is also worth to visit, there is a huge stunning church. Museum was huge, there happened wars between romans and saxons; when u got there you ll see the wooden castle and lots of models, so helpful to realise how romans invade and colonise and what they ve done there… tickets are way too cheap, can be purchased on the counter there
