Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks
Experience the thrill of zip lining over the stunning Pazin Cave, offering dramatic views of the town of Pazin. The zipline adventure takes you through the wooded cliffs and offers a unique perspective of one of Istria's most fascinating natural phenomena. The ride consists of four ziplines, with two different routes to choose from - one shorter and the other longer and faster. You can reach speeds of around 45km/h depending on your weight.
It was amazing! From the very first contact through email to the experience itself: everything was well organised and they did it with a smile. My wife and I had a blast going down the zipline. Would recommend it to anybody. Thanks again for the awesome experience!
Nick V — Google review
Great experience for young and 'old'. Well organised and great team of people. Large parking next to it at the designated adress of this experience. You just need to drive down on the LEFT side of the building. We went at opening around 10 o'clock. By 11.30 it was getting crowded and parking almost full. When paying, you are designated to a group, which also estimates the time it will be your turn. Next, the teamleaders call your group in order to equip and secure you. Enjoy and thrust the professionals 👍

Fun and adrenaline! Exceeded our expectations. Two ziplines over the Pazin cave, amazing view as you go over it. 5 min walk back to the starting point. Fantastic team! Friendly and welcoming staff. Short waiting times and instructions in multiple languages. Staff handles everything, ensuring a safe ride for everyone. Equipment looked brand new and braking is adjusted based on your weight for a smooth landing. Parking available behind the hotel. Recommended!

San Sabba Rice Mill National Monument & Museum

Mentioned on

Museum
Monument
Specialty Museums
San Sabba Rice Mill National Monument and Museum, located just outside the heart of Trieste, is a profound historical site that invites visitors to reflect on its somber past. Originally built in 1898 as a rice husking facility, it tragically transformed into the only Nazi concentration camp on Italian soil during World War II. This complex served as a grim location for the detention and extermination of thousands, including political dissidents and Jewish individuals.
Very worthwhile, thought-provoking visit. I had not realised the extent of WW2 history in Italy until now. The architecture of the museum is stunningly starkly done. Several respectful school parties touring. I liked the fact that the staff are strict on decorum during the visit.
Stephen O — Google review
It is a place of pain and sorrow. But it is necessary to remember. It is well kept and respectable. Needs better directional signage before entering.
Reuben A — Google review
A really good museum, telling the story from WW2 Nazi activities in Trieste. San Sabba Rice Mill was used by Nazi Germany to extinguish enemies and unwanted persons in the Nazi regiemes view. San Sabba Rice Mill contained a crematorium oven. Findings shows around 1000-4000 people can have need kolied at this site. Today the museum is telling the story from that time. The situation in the East Italian region in 1943-45. San Sabbatn Rice Mill is worth a visit. It can he seen as a mix of a museum and a memorial (church like) site where a certain dignity and silence provides good room for thoutghys and reflection of the crual stories in the original but gently rebuild site. The entrance is free. (Gratis)
Kristen N — Google review
Be prepared to bring handkerchiefs whit you because this place not will let your eyes stay dry. Free entry to the monument which guides you through the madness and horror of the nazi activity. There is a museum part and you can walk around I different parts of the former "police retention camp". Items, journals, weapons, testimonials and buildings remembers what can happen if madness prevails instead of common humanity. There is a monument of the former chimney of the crematorium.
Pál P — Google review
Not a light experience, but I considered it as a must, visiting the nearby. Free entrance (I took audioguide for 3 Eur, but even without it, the museum provides enough information in Italian and English). This is part of history, not so long time ago.
B M — Google review
An unexpected little gem. Another sad point of reflection on WW2, and how grim it must have been. It's not a very big museum and there is a lot of reading. For me the map of the transition locations across Germany shows the systematic scale of the operation that was being undertaken. In spite of being close to the town, people did not realise what was going on until late in the war. Entry is free, but a donation is welcome.
Owen T — Google review
This is a less known, yet very important site to visit. A remarkable monument of an era that should not be forgotten. For 2 euros only you can buy an audio guide which I really recommend to do so, as otherwise you won't understand what to look at and you won't have all the background information. If you get there by car the most convenient is to park at the supermarket's parking lot nearby.
Zsolt S — Google review
Interering place to visit but not much to see. A bit off the beaten track though easy to get to by bus. History is tragic and we hope it will not happen again. This is why it is important to visit such landmarks

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Unity of Italy Square, or Piazza Unita d'Italia, is a breathtaking expanse that proudly claims the title of Europe's largest seafront square. Nestled in Trieste, this grand public space offers stunning views of the sea and is surrounded by impressive architecture and charming cafes. The square showcases an elegant blend of Austro-Hungarian design and modern civic pride, making it a focal point for both locals and visitors alike.
✨ One of the most beautiful and majestic squares in Europe! Located right by the Adriatic Sea, this place offers a truly unique atmosphere. The architecture is stunning — especially the city hall facade, which looks incredible, especially when lit up in the evening. The square is clean, spacious, and perfect for a relaxing walk. There are plenty of cafés and restaurants nearby where you can enjoy the view with a cup of coffee. Absolutely a must-visit spot in Trieste for photos and unforgettable moments! 🌊🏛️

There are places that impress you, and then there are places that touch you. Piazza Unità d’Italia is the heart and soul of Trieste – a square that doesn’t just stand still in time, but breathes with the history, pride, and elegance of generations. Facing the Adriatic Sea, this square is both open and monumental – a rare balance of grandeur and intimacy. Surrounded by magnificent buildings and kissed by the sea breeze, it’s a place where you instantly feel present and small in the most beautiful way. By day, it shines with architectural harmony and calm Mediterranean charm. By night, it transforms into something almost poetic – glowing lights, reflections on the water, and an atmosphere that makes you slow down and simply absorb the moment. Being here with my family felt like stepping into a painting. It’s not just a place to visit – it’s a place
Vasilka G — Google review
The square looks impressive, the buildings around it architectural masterpieces. However, I didn't get a sense of the scale and spaciousness of the square. My wife and I visited the square on the closing day of the annual regatta (Barcolana). The entire space was filled with decorations, advertising banners, and prefabricated stalls selling food and beer. It was very noisy, crowded everywhere, but fun.
Game G — Google review
A beautiful place!! A huge plus is that there weren't masses of tourists so the square was really clear. The view is immersive!! 🤩 All the buildings look amazing. 🌟
Lukáš D — Google review
1 | Piazza Unità d’Italia is the largest square in Europe opening onto the sea, its area is over 12,000 m². 2 | The square is definitely worth a visit and can easily be combined with a walk to the pier. We were there on a summer evening when the illuminated town hall building dominated the scene. 3 | The square is lined with numerous restaurants and cafés where you can sit down and relax. What surprised me was that most grocery stores close as early as 9:00 PM.

It is a big flat old stone dock. Great to walk once or twice, be aware that there is no shade in the 37c sun and little room to sit. It was enjoyable to see the Adriatic sea and look at any big ships docked but nothing else.

A beautiful big square facing the Adriatic Sea with 3 impressive palace buildings and a fountain. This is the seat of the local government for the city and the region. The square is used for concerts and parades and large civic events. Many famous music artists have played here including Green Day, Duran Duran, Carlos Santana, Iron Maiden, Garbage, Mike and Snoop Dogg

Trieste’s Unity of Italy Square is one of the most beautiful squares in Europe — a grand open space facing the Adriatic Sea. The view is breathtaking, especially at sunset. It’s home to some elegant cafés, including a very famous one, though the prices match the view :)

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
The Castello di San Giusto is a striking 15th-century castle and fortress that now serves as a museum showcasing historical weapons and local history. This impressive structure also hosts various events, including a festival featuring historical and contemporary music groups.
The castle itself is not very impressive but it's worth 5 stars anyways: 1. There are interesting exhibitions about the history of Trieste and the castle. There are free audio tours with different focus points. One is especially for children. I would advise to bring headphones. The audio tour is available in multiple languages. 2. You have a great view over the city. You get a good deal for reasonable price (7€/adult).
Zed — Google review
I really enjoyed the panoramic views of Trieste while walking along the castle walls. Peaceful walk with beautiful views over the rooftops and the sea. Definitely worth it if you want to see Trieste from above.
Abdullah R — Google review
Next to the Roman Forum this castle was built by the Austrian Imperial court between 1468 and 1636. From the ramparts you have panoramic views over the city and surrounding areas. For me the best part was the Armoury museum with a nice collection and good information.
Seimen B — Google review
Highly recommend this location. In addition to the castle/fortress, there are three cavernous floors with Roman ruins, an armour collection and amazing views from the top. The climb up to the castle was a bit challenging not because of the steep hill but to figure out the route. All in all, highly recommend
Norm B — Google review
Nice castle to explore with great views of the city. We visited in October and it was only €2 per person to enter, but even in peak time I think it’s only €1 more. Not massive but worth it if you’ve climbed the stairs to get there! There’s also a bar inside, we didn’t go but looked nice.
Abigail R — Google review
If you really want to benefit from the visit, set some time aside. There is a museum with a lot of information about the history of the castle and the armaments throughout the centuries of the fortress. The views from the walls are impressive.
Maxwell — Google review
If you want to visit this amazing castle, you have different choices to get there, but I suggest to go frome stairs and after the first round go right. This is the Easiest way. Also check it out at night or in the sunset. It has awesome view to the city and the see.
Soheil M — Google review
You can see quite a lot of old walls and pillars on the outside. To go in you need to pay 7€ or 5€ reduced (for e.g. students). Inside there is a lot more to discover, ranging from an old cellar with mosaics and old busts to a museum of old weapons such as pikes and all sorts of early guns. There are also two cannons you can look at. There is also a little cafe with snacks inside (can't comment on it as we didn't eat or drink anything). For the price it is basically a nobrainer to visit if you ever find youself in this city and wondering what to visit. On top you can also see the port and hsve a panoramic view over the whole city.

Skocjan Caves

Mentioned on

Nature preserve
Nature & Parks
The Skocjan Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are an extraordinary subterranean network of caves and canyons formed by the Reka River over thousands of years. The 6km-long cave system features fossil-filled chambers and a river that flows into the Dead Lake before resurfacing as the Timavo River in Italy. Visitors can explore this remarkable natural wonder on a flat walking tour, admiring its unusual karst landscape and historical significance dating back to prehistoric times.
What an amazing place! A beautiful walk through the caves. At the end, you can choose one of three trails: 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour. I highly recommend the 1-hour trail, as it gives you access to more caves and bridges. Make sure to buy your tickets in advance, and I recommend bringing a raincoat and waterproof boots or sneakers
Manuela B — Google review
The caves are worth seeing, although it is quite dark inside (for good reasons), and a lot of detail can't be seen. There are hundreds of steps, mostly going down inside the cave. Once the guided tour was completed, I took the exit to the left which includes two options, a 30 minute path or a one hour path. The one hour path was fantastic. There are so many points of interest worth capturing on camera, especially a waterfall. The end of the path was all up hill, with many elongated steps. The rest is along a road back to the parking lot. The morning was all sold out if tickets were not bought in advance. The afternoon was less busy. A free museum of how the explorers found and traversed the cave is under the information centre. A gift shop, cafe and large seating area was available inside and out.
Niki — Google review
Amazing, monumental, huge and much less commercial and crowded cave than postojna. I really recommend this one for people who want to experience one of the most amazing cave of the world. The amount of space, of the water and beauty inside is just overwhelming. Parking is free, same with toilets. The pace was just a little too fast for people who are less than average sporty. Overall 10/10 Important information: you absolutely cannot take photos inside
J ( — Google review
Grand. On one level just a large cave complex (dry side) but then the river cuts through the cave and its is magnificent and huge (and for me terrifying). Guide was good and nice to have some time for exploring. Be warned, lots of walking.
Stefan S — Google review
Stunning. We were actually unsure before the tour, and it's true you have very little choice during the tour but follow guide and group like a sheep, especially if there are many people like when we visited. But at the same time this cave system is breathtaking. Of course I would enjoy a different way of visiting, slower, with more time, less people. But if that's the only way it's still worth it! But you should be afraid of heights ;) The information at the Park are actually very poor, the information center was already closed before our tour ended, that was a bit disappointing..
Scarlett M — Google review
I absolutely love caves and visit them anywhere in the world that I can, but this is amazing. It's huge inside. Also the extra walk after the cave tour is equally as good as the cave itself. Spend the extra hour and take the extra steps to make the trip worth it.
Gabe R — Google review
Awe inspiring cave that is a UNESCO site. There is a massive gorge with a river running through it that is like something out of the Mines of Moria. This is an absolute must visit if in beautiful Slovenia. You can’t take photos inside the main caverns only on the outside areas.
Tyler G — Google review
Beneath the surface lies a hidden world of wonder. Just across the border in Slovenia, a country of breathtaking nature, mountains, and castles, you'll find a place of incredible beauty and astonishing statistics: Škocjan Caves. This UNESCO World Heritage site is home to one of the largest underground canyons on the planet. Carved by the Reka River, this massive canyon, up to 140 meters high in some places, is a spectacle to behold. The sheer scale is mind-boggling, with the incredible Martel Chamber, one of the largest cave rooms in the world, boasting a volume of 2.2 million cubic meters. Walking through the canyon, you'll cross the Cerkvenik Bridge, suspended 47 meters above the river, and witness other wonders like the 15-meter-tall "Giant" stalagmite. It's a humbling and awe-inspiring experience that reminds you of the immense power of nature. Have you ever visited a place that took your breath away? One important note for your visit: please do not use flash photography inside the cave!

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Predjama Castle, located 9km from Postojna, is a 13th-century fortress built within a cave in the face of a cliff. The castle's construction spans several centuries, with most of its current structure dating back to the 16th century. It stands as an impressive and seemingly unconquerable sight. Visitors can explore restored living areas, dungeons, and even a secret tunnel while learning about its fascinating history through audio guides.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must-see! Predjama Castle is absolutely breathtaking — a true gem built right into the side of a cliff! The combination of natural beauty and medieval architecture is stunning. Every corner of the castle tells a story, and you can really feel the history as you walk through the rooms and tunnels. The views from the castle are incredible — looking out over the valley feels like stepping back in time. It’s one of the most unique and fascinating places I’ve ever visited. Highly recommend!
Jose P — Google review
The castle is amazing, get the free audio guide and listen to the detailed history of the castle as you walk through it. We drove to the castle and parking is a bit of a hassle, some free others you need to pay for. You can drive right up and do a loop to see what parking near is available.
Chris Y — Google review
The castle always amazes me with its grandeur and power. I like that they offer an interactive guide (it's a shame that there isn't one in Postojna Cave). The downside is that they charge for the guides, which I've never experienced anywhere else in Europe - even in Postojna Cave. But I definitely recommend anyone who wants to visit a castle to visit it, you won't be disappointed.

A different type of castle, picturesque and quaint. Has been used as a backdrop for movies and TV series. The parking is a bit of a trek away from the castle. There is free WiFi, and the castle has a free downloadable audio guide, which is quite detailed and helpful. Lots of climbing up stairs involved. The view from the castle balconies is awesome.

The Postojna Cave Ticket Store offers various tour options, especially during the busy summer months. Guided tours are the only way to explore the complex cave system. Visitors can purchase combined tickets with nearby attractions like the castle, although shuttle service is not included. It's recommended to visit the castle in the morning and then explore the cave due to limited bus schedules.
Service was fast. Cashiers were very helpful in guiding us.

Postojna Cave Ticket Store – A Smooth Start to an Incredible Journey Purchasing tickets at Postojna Cave was a seamless and pleasant experience that set the tone for the adventure ahead. The ticket store is located right next to the main entrance, easy to find, and well-organized. Even with a steady flow of visitors, everything moved efficiently thanks to clear signage and helpful staff. Although online booking is also available and highly recommended during busy periods. The staff were welcoming, spoke excellent English, and explained the different ticket options, including combo packages that cover additional sights like Predjama Castle. What I appreciated most was the detailed information provided at the ticket counter — they explain the tour timings, meeting points, and even suggest how to plan extra activities if you have more time in the area. It made organizing our visit stress-free. The standard cave ticket includes an exciting electric train ride and a guided walking tour. While the live guides are very knowledgeable, the audio guide available in multiple languages is also an excellent option. I found the audio guide particularly helpful for getting deeper insights without feeling rushed, and it allows you to enjoy the magical surroundings at your own pace. Overall, the Postojna Cave ticketing experience was extremely professional, friendly, and efficient. It’s clear they care about making every visitor’s experience smooth from the very beginning — an excellent introduction to one of Slovenia’s greatest natural wonders.

Awesome. Amazing journey. Don't let the "talk" of it being "Disneyland like" deture you from going. The cave "rooms" are HUGE. Incredible complex and a highlight of our trip while in Slovenia. ( €25.80 p/p )

Križna jama, located in Slovenia, is a remarkable karst cave system featuring over 20 underground lakes that can be explored by boat. Unlike most Slovenian caves which are traversed on foot, Križna jama offers visitors the unique experience of a subterranean boat ride. The cave is devoid of electric lighting, with visitors provided with lamps and boots for their one to four-hour tour.
What an amazing tour. While in this part of the country, you do not want to overlook this great cave tour. Be sure to buy your tickets in advance, and contact them if you want to do one of the longer tours. The way to the cave is well marked, and there is some parking on site. Show up 15 minutes before your time so you can get your rubber boots and receive your tour brief before entering. Everyone will also be given a flashlight as there is no lighting in the caves. The group must travel together - led by your guide. It is truly a unique experience, walking through the darkness along a weĺl-marked path. Our guide was amazing and truly made the tour enjoyable for all ages in our group. I will also say that our group had a very large span of ages - as young as five. Thank you so much for the great tour.

An amazing day walking the same route as prehistoric cave bears :) For a last-minute plan to visit Križna jama, we easily managed to get on the daily 1-1.5 hour tour on a Saturday. Longer tours are available but these should be booked in advance. Our tour was in English and our guide Gašper was brilliant, funny and informative. The guides' passion for the cave is evident in how they educate visitors and protect the cave from over-tourism.

Brilliant caves, our tour guide was excellent and gave us lots of info. The boat ride was lovely. There are longer experiences available too but the basic 90 min was perfect for us but would definitely do a longer tour next time

A visit to Krizna Jama Bear Caves is a must! Our guide, Tanja, was excellent - so informative and truly engaging. She brought the history and unique features of this unspoilt cave system to life. Learning about the bears and seeing their bones was fascinating Exploring the natural beauty, untouched by excessive tourism, was a real highlight. I highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting the region.
Jim B — Google review
I recently visited Križna Cave and took the short 2-hour tour. It was an interesting experience, but with such a short time, you only get a brief taste of the cave’s atmosphere. It’s enough to decide whether you enjoy this kind of underground adventure — the silence, the darkness, the underground river, the boat ride, the feeling of being in another world. If you really want to experience the cave and see more of its hidden beauty, I’d recommend the longer 4-hour tour. And for true adventure seekers, there’s even a 7-hour extreme tour — not for everyone, but from what I’ve heard, it’s absolutely unforgettable.
Oksana J — Google review
Your lasted for 1 hr 15 mins and the tour guide was fantastic. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Cave itself was amazing, our favourite part was the boat ride which despite being pretty short was still very memorable. If we went there again, we would definitely look for the longer version of a tour to the Bear Cave.
Adam P — Google review
Insane experience. We took the path to the Bear Tunnel and we could see hundreds of bear bones. Our guide Tanja was very informative and caring. She found a bear tooth in the path but respectfully hid it later as naturally it is not permitted to take anything from the cave. If you don’t have reservation, try your luck and maybe they will find a spot for you next day as we did. Cheers

This is the fifth time I've been to this cave. I've already done all the tours. Yesterday I was there at 9:00 a.m. I had a guide who was really great. His name is Mathaš. I highly recommend this guide. Anyone who takes a tour with him will never forget it. A very good man. Next time, I'll only take a tour of the cave with him. Remember his name, Matjaš. The best man. 😊🤟👍👍👍

Logar Valley is a natural open space located in a glacial valley, offering hiking and equestrian trails as well as a scenic waterfall. The region features panoramic roads with traditional farms and splendid views of the surrounding mountains. Visitors can explore three beautiful small valleys that culminate in mountain circus. While accessing the valley from Ljubljana may pose some challenges due to navigation issues, the breathtaking scenery and peaceful trails make it a magical destination worth visiting.
One of the most beautiful places in Slovenia) We climbed the Rivka waterfall in the spring (when it's warm and the mountain tops are still snow-capped😍) and then rested in the valley itself. Unfortunately, we didn't have bicycles with us, but we did have a scooter🙂.
Julia G — Google review
An absolutely fairytale-like spot, with scenery that feels almost Swiss — at times even Norwegian. The valley is breathtaking, with sharp color contrasts and sweeping mountain views. There’s plenty of space to walk around or ride a bike, and the road leads straight to the waterfall trail, which is an easy 15-minute walk. Definitely a place where you’ll want to linger, because the views are just unreal.
Karol K — Google review
10€ per car for entry. The various parking spaces within the valley are then included. Worth it if you take the time to enjoy the valley. Take the time to walk the various trails, have some local food and see Rinka Waterfall at the end, or perhaps climb further to the mountains from there. Saw some cute highland cows too.

Warmest lake of Austria!(IMHO) Klopeiner See, located in Carinthia, is one of Austria’s warmest and sunniest lakes, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists. The lake is known for its crystal-clear waters, which often reach pleasant temperatures perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, and boating. With well-kept beaches and designated swimming areas, it's a fantastic spot for families, couples, or solo travelers looking to relax by the water. The lake is surrounded by a variety of restaurants, offering easy access and convenient amenities for visitors. For a fee of 6 to 7 euros per day, which includes parking for the entire day, you can enjoy the lake's public beaches, showers, changing rooms, and other facilities. In addition to water activities, there are plenty of scenic walking and biking trails around the lake, offering picturesque views of the surrounding mountains and countryside. Klopeiner See has a lively, welcoming atmosphere while still offering spots to escape the crowds, making it a great blend of relaxation and recreation. With nearby dining options and excellent facilities, it’s an easy and enjoyable day trip destination for anyone visiting Carinthia.

Driving back to Slovenia, we stopped to see the Roses Designer Outlet. It’s a beautiful place, clean and love the colors on the buildings but it has very little stores left. The ones that were opened had great deals on. Bought a super cute top from S. Oliver. It did have a small seating area restaurant open, which was nice. Great place to let the kids run around and burn off some energy!! Since it’s so empty. Open 7 days a week including the weekend from 10am to 8pm. They did have beautiful roses growing everywhere.

Roses Designer Outlet is located just next to the border between Croatia and Slovenia. We visit it with whole family to dress kids, my wife and myself. It is a great opportunity for a stop during your long journey to Adriatics or back home before long traffic jam at the border. One can go for shopping or have a lunch break in the Roses' restaurants. The Outlet has a lot of clothes and footware options to choose from: designer shoes collection, dresses, suits, jeans or sport ware are represented here from most of the trendy brands. However one should notice that shops availability quite often depends on a season and year and some of them are closed when you just need them! Thereby I am giving only four points from five to this Designers Outlet. In any case the Roses is must to visit destination with moderate prices for disigners ware) I wish you to have fun here!

Old Vine House in Maribor is home to the oldest grape vine in the world, boasting over 400 years of history and recognized by the Guinness Book of Records. Originally part of the town's defensive wall, it has become a major tourist attraction. The house serves as a tribute to the wine traditions of Maribor and Slovenia, featuring an exhibition room that showcases the country's rich wine heritage and offers tastings of exceptional wines from the Stajerska wine region.
We visited spontaniously this place in Maribor on our way bay home to Hungary. It is amazing to know that the world’s oldest living vine is about 400 years old and it is in Slovenia very close to the Hungarian border. We took part in a small wine-tasting session, too. It was an excellent program. I advise you to discover the old town of Maribor. It is super cozy and cute to take a walk there. And the Old Vine House is also very close to the city centre.
Lilla K — Google review
We almost always go here for a wine tasting whenever we are in town. Go take a stroll through the display room, before you decide what kind of wine tasting you want to have. They use a tiered approach, so you can have young wines, medium or aged wines or a mixed selection. After you've been to to display room, you can point out which ones you want to try and avoid having to go through any that won't be to your liking. Service personel is well trained and can help you out if you are not as experienced in the regional wines, so don't be shy and just ask for help when you need it.

Pyramid

Historical landmark

Geologic Formations
Pyramid is a small hill in Maribor, featuring a winding path that leads to a chapel at the top. The climb offers views of tiny vineyards and the city below. While there are few trees for shade along the way, reaching the summit rewards visitors with an extraordinary panoramic view. The hill also holds historical significance, with visible ruins of an old castle.
Piramida in Maribor is a hill (386 m above sea level) above the city of Maribor in Slovenia, which is a popular excursion spot and offers a beautiful view of the city and the surrounding countryside. The climb up the Piramida is easy and takes about 20-30 minutes from the centre of Maribor. On top of the hill stood the medieval Maribor Castle, which was built in the 12th century. The castle was destroyed in 1784 and a chapel was built in its place, which still stands there today. Today the hill is covered with vineyards, which is typical for this region of Slovenia.
Jaroslav H — Google review
One of the small hills bordering Maribor city to the north. It is called Pyramid due to its steep slopes which are now covered by a vineyard and a forest. The hill is significant for being the site of a previous medieval Maribor/Marburg fortress, the remnants of which are today an archeological site. A rather large chapel now stands at the hilltop, visible from afar. The viewpoint is excellent if one wants to look at the whole city, examine Pohorje mountain and have a glance southeast towards Croatia. I give a lower grade because the area should be maintained better with some urban landscaping and without litter around.
Vanja Z — Google review
The track offered a pleasant walking experience, with the city skyline and majestic mountains providing a stunning backdrop. The pyramid was an incredibly amusing and memorable destination to explore.

It's free and if you have time do hike up to the top. It's a nice view from top. The walk is about 15-20 minutes from the parking lot. The parking is free on sundays. You can not go by car all the way to the top. You have a 20 min walk to the top.

There is a small chapel at the top of this hill, you can see it as you go up.. The path to the top is winding which makes it easy to climb without losing your breath. You pass some tiny vineyards on your way, and most of the way there is no tree cover for shade. I counted 2, and I stopped at the last tree as it was super hot.. but wherever I reached the view was amazing and extraordinary.. would have been really nice if they added some benches for people to sit and breath the air and enjoy the moment! the view is nice and you'll probably have this place to yourself, so you can enjoy some peace and quiet. Cars and bikes are not allowed, so it’s a walking distance.. if you walk all the way from the town, there’s no sidewalk on the street so.. stay safe!

Indoor pool facilities are poorly maintained and can be life threatening. Seems like the management is completely disconnected from the business. And all it would take is a little bit of effort, but that's obviusely too much to expect. Price - Performance is a pure catastrophy. 4hours cost 60+€ for 2 adults and 2 kids (5 & 10). Won't be back any time soon.

On a day trip to this spa we found it the most disappointing experience. It was a very hot day 12.08.2025, a lot of people. The issues we have are, not very clean quite dirty, lots of babies in nappies in the adult pools when therecare plenty of children pool spaces, and no control of kids jumping in every pool. We are staying here from New Zealand and have been to many of the Spa pools. This was the most disappointing experience.
Peter M — Google review
My review is for the pools ( aqua park) 30.06.2024 Price 20 euros for adults during the weekend and 18 rest of the week. And that is in my opinion expensive. Half slides didn't work. Red one worked half day then they turn it off. Big waiting line for the orange one. Plus you are standing on hot metal floor. Pool that is going around like river is overcrowded and slow. Olimpic pool is great and not busy at all. Wave pool sucks... It only works for 10-15 every hour or so. Plus all kids rush there and only one life guard. Pool with massagers only works like one side at the time and then other... Only 2 sides work 3 one doesn't. Plenty of parking space and more than enough place in shadows. Bring your own food and drinks. Food sucks and it cost around 10 euros price in pictures.

Myrak O — Google review
The new mobile homes at the camp are nice and well equipped, even though very close to each other. However, the pools are disappointing. It's basically a local pool with a few slides and a wave pool (which runs only like 10 minutes every hour). The lazy river is useless as it's extremely slow. The water is fairly clean, but the whole place generally looks like spraying things with a water hose now and then would keep them in a better shape. The complex is obviously rundown and barely maintained. The designers of the water slides didn't do a very good job either. Some of the enclosed slides feel claustrophobic (total darkness in large sections or it's a very narrow tube so you feel like sliding in a straw). We also got stuck a couple of times in the middle of the slides where you have to use a rubber tube. The guard just didn't care and sent other people into the slide. A fuse box on the dive tower is like 3m from water and it was open for half a day during our stay. The slides and dive tower open at 11AM, so don't expect to have fun there the day of checkout. The minigolf course looks closed and very old. I expected a better maintained facility with more attractions for the price. It's certainly the oldest and worst maintained water park I've ever been to.
Vladimír K — Google review
We booked a bungalow which was okay, albeit a little bit dirty. The entrance door looked like it got broken in once. Bathroom wasn't something special as well. The rooms seem to be in need of restoration. Staff was mostly friendly though. The Thermal Baath was a total disaster. It could be better described as local pool. There are only three warm little pools. The whole building is in dire need of renovation, as could be seen by the meany broken tiles inside and missing tile grout. The Sauna Park was just a little room with a few saunas and a cool-off pool, which was to warm for my liking. The whole sauna room was not that well separated from the main area and offered no place to relax. There should have been a huge outdoor area with many watersides and additional pools which was closed due to the weather. Problem being, that no one will tell you this in advance, so you will be disappointed at arrival. I cant tell much about the food, as we only ate breakfast there. Breakfast was okay, nothing exceptional. If you plan on spending a relaxing weekend as a couple, you will be better off somewhere else.
Florian D — Google review
Regarding the fact that Slovenia is a land of thermal baths, Terme Ptuj really undermines that. The infrastructure is very shabby, the cleanliness level are poor and the price-quality is not fair. Saunas are small and dirty and there is no ambiance. This is a good local pool and not a Thermal Park by fair. Hopefully they will redeem by renovating their services and infrastructure, because I surely won't be going back if they stay as they are.

A nice open air museum about Austrian culture and history. There are buildings of homes, schools, Barns, bakeries, stables etc. from all the lands of Austria. They rebuilt these buildings inside this open air museum. Really informing but it would be much better with English translations since internet signal is very weak if there is. We visited this place in april during an Easter market. I really liked the concept, freshly baked bread was amazing. As I understand, they arrange other events such as christmas markets. We spent around 3.5 hours here.

We were three adults that went here and we loved it. The entrance fee of 14, 50€ is not that small, but it's definitely worth it. If you live in the region they also have a very affordable yearly card. You should come here in the morning as you will definitely need the whole day. There area is huge, as every Austria region is represented by a few historical buildings. In between there are lots of activities and not just for kids, but also for 'grown' kids to try out. The whole museum is built into a forest, which makes the visit feel like a walk in nature and since the area is so big, it also doesn't feel cramped. When you come by car, there is lots of free parking spaces. The parking lot is a few KMs away from the entrance though. However, don't you worry, how you'll get that. Of course walking is an option, but it's along a street, so I wouldn't recommend it. The better option is offered directly by the museum itself - a traktor will pick you up and bring you to the entrance and in the evening also back to the parking lot.

Well kept, clean and interesting place. The staff at the counter is also very friendly and guide you well. A potential improvement could be that the printed map that they give out is improved. Currently, it doesn't have labels for all buildings and its tough to figure out where you are. The Internet and subsequently Google translate do not work here.

Not so large pools but very nice water, said to contain more minerals than in most of the other thermal baths. Friday till 23h is a treat. A pity that the sports pool closes at sunset. The slide is for toddlers

Cool place! One of the best I've been to, and at a reasonable price. Large area with different saunas. In the summer I also got to a yoga class, right in the open air and for free.

Big thermal spa with lots of pools and saunas. We have come several times and it’s fantastic! Areas for kids and for adults which is great for those of us who want a nice quiet place to relax
Sighting S — Google review
It has two spa pools, not too big, in which you can rather sit and enjoy the bubbling. The children's section is larger. A good program for families. Not a very favorable place for people with mobility impairments. The crutch is very slippery on the floor and there are steps.

Therme, Spa, Massage, Badeort, Freibad thermal spa, massage, open air pool... Great location on the Austria / Slovenia border, next to the river and with a historic little town to explore. The outdoor pools have fantastic views of the castle and at night they light up the trees in the grounds of the water park.
Petra — Google review
Sauna alone would be 4/5. The bath is impeccably clean overall. However, all the pools are severely chlorinated that kills all chances to appreciate it's supposedly mineral rich composition. This is very far from a thermal bath, actually worse than heating up tap water. Such a great loss to treat natural resources like this. The interior tiles vary between slippery and non slippery types, seriously accident prone. I've seen several slips and experienced a few myself too during a half day stay.

Dirty ventilation hatches and toilets. Small 2 pools with hot water. The advantage is the low price which attracts a lot of people . Very large and well-maintained sports pool.

Styrassic Park

Amusement park
Water & Amusement Parks
Styrassic Park is a captivating destination for both kids and adults, offering an extensive walk through the park to observe and learn about various dinosaurs. The park features trampolines, ping pong tables, and rides tailored for younger children. Visitors can also enjoy a cinema that screens engaging movies in the evening. The Styrassic Night Lightshow is a notable attraction with motion-activated effects and unique dinosaur displays set against stunning scenery.
Lovley area for the kids with many activities like painting, climbing at the wall or between trees. Awesome park for walking around in the woods to meet former dinos!
Christoph — Google review
Styrassic Park is a ok destination for dinosaur enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. In addition to the dinosaur exhibits, Styrassic Park offers several attractions designed to entertain and engage visitors. The displays were sparse and did not provide much insight into the dinosaurs or their history.
Filipe Z — Google review
The place is very nice: 1. A big walk in the park that takes 30-40 minutes to watch and read about all the dinosaurs 2. A few trampolines and ping pong tables right at the entrance 3. There are rides aimed at smaller children (4-8 years old) which are very nice and look really good 4. There is even a cinema which played a movie for us during the evening, which the kid enjoyed a lot The rooms are clean and i recommend the Africa houses which are quite modern. The bathroom was clean as well and we had heating which made the night quite enjoyable. The restaurant food was good. Breakfast was plenty, with fried eggs, scrambled eggs, bacon and wurst plus vegetables, some cheese, cold meats, fruits, etc. Dinner was also good with pasta, rice, turkey smoked meat and a very good soup. We also got 2 glasses of wine so the whole thing was great. Every staff that we encountered was very nice and i want to commend especially the climbing instructor and the young lady which handled the evening grill event where we prepared wurst and apples directly on a wooden fire. We had a great time and if we are in the area, this is a good place to stop and sleep, with bonus kid activities. I have to mention that it was very quiet and restful. I can see people who are used to 5 star hotels and parks raise their nose to this park. For us, it was perfect and the kid loved it.

The Park and the attractions are cool, also the "real" dino that runs "free". Kids enjoyed it a lot. The food in the evening can definitely be improved, it was not the best.
Aída M — Google review
Good for children but extremely overpriced for adults, doesn’t justify the price since there are not many activities for us and some were not even working. 2€ for a Fooseball game when you pay 24€ entrance fee is outrageous. Staff is not the kindest. 20€+ for 2 big fries and 3 drinks is insane. Besides the “English menu” was in German. Full ashtrays next to children’s playground, lack of staff (only one person controlling the carrousels while you sit there in the sun waiting under 35°). Cinema room smells like mould and was just playing the intro of the movie in a loop. Bring food, drinks and low expectations.
Pedro A — Google review
This park is my DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE WEEK. It was ok for kids but really overpriced for adults. We had to pay 96 euro just to get in with 3 small kids. 16 euro is good price per child but for 24 euro per adult you get what? There are no comfortable seats in the area, you cannot even choose a beer!!! “Restaurant” is a kind of wierd self-service, with “English” menu in German only and minimal order of 20 euro. I would never come here again (even if they pay me 96 euro😅 back). For me it looks like a cheap (but overpriced) waste of time.

Rogner Bad Blumau

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Hotel
Spas & Wellness
Rogner Bad Blumau is a one-of-a-kind spa hotel with a unique and colorful design, featuring natural thermal pools and a luxurious wellness spa. The resort's architecture is an artistic spectacle, resembling a blend of an Escher painting and Hobbiton. Guests can enjoy various pools, treatments, salt grotto, Vulkania pool with underwater music, and relaxation sessions in the AlphaSphere pod. Located close to Vienna, it offers a truly memorable and relaxing spa vacation experience.
A charming place. My friend and I spent the most amazing vacation here. The hotel itself is gorgeous and we had a lot of fun exploring everything is had to offer. We had some great food and enjoyed a relaxing time in the spa. The room was beautiful and spacious with a balcony and a great view. I would love to come back!
R S — Google review
As a lover of Hundertwasser's Architecture, I asked my Mum if we could visit here when I came for my holiday this year (21-06-25). We didn't have a pass for the Spa, neither were we staying, we just came to look round. The staff didn't have a problem with that. Given the nature of the architecture of the spa and unusualness, they are probably used to people coming to have a look round and take pictures. Upon arrival, it is very colourful, the grounds are vast, its only as you start to walk round, you get a feel for how huge this place is. The walkway paths in the Spa are topsy turvy, even the toilets have mosaic tile, everywhere you turn, there is attention to detail. There are models of the Spa and potential accommodation to be built on an already expansive area. The spa is centred on the pool being in the middle and spas/treatments around the sides and then accommodation all around in various buildings. I had a lot of fun looking around, taking in the architecture, the colours, shapes, it is beautiful. Prices are not expensive, neither cheap but modest, it looked like a wonderful place to stay to relax. There is ample space for parking and although the spa is huge, it doesn't feel overcrowded. It has a nice ambience.

My idea of heaven: Lots of water, not too many people, and great food. We did the VIP package to accommodate last minute visitors and thoroughly enjoyed the cheese platter and wine, as well as napping on the day beds.
Amy F — Google review
it is cool place, very different as the other spas and thermal baths so it may be not for everyoned taste
Lucia V — Google review
This is a great place for a truly memorable, unique and relaxing spa vacation, close to Vienna, less than 2 hour drive. My wife and I have stayed here for 3 nights with a friends couple and definitely recommend staying for at least that long to really relax, soak in the atmosphere and explore all this place has to offer. The architecture and design by Hundertwasser are unique and amazing, making the walk to the spa, strolling around the hotel or outside interesting and a bit different each time. There are many indoor and outdoor pools with hot water, warm enough even for my cold-sensitive wife's preference. The best was the Vulkania thermal spring, which reminded me of my visit to the famous "Blue Lagoon" in Iceland. The staff kindles small fires around the spring in the evening, creating a superb and romantic ambiance. The Volcano show is a nice addition too. There are closed walking passages from the rooms to the pools/spa, so you can leave the room in a bathrobe and also eat breakfast in a bathrobe at the spa restaurant. The Hot Stone Massage I did was excellent and very professional. There is a good selection of different types of saunas. All are mixed gender textile free according to the Austrian sauna tradition, we like it and it feels very natural. If you have an issue with this, then you should avoid the saunas and stick to the spa as there are no swimsuits allowed saunas. We ate in "Lebensfroh", "Obendrauf" and "RegenTag" restaurants. The food was good with a nice variety, unfortunately we didn't eat at the GenussReich restaurant. The major point of improvement is the textile free warm water pool in the sauna area. It is very small, so it gets crowded and the location/design is rather unwelcoming compared to such pools at other Austrian spa hotels I have visited, such as "Aqua Dome" and "TAUERN SPA". The bottom line, I highly recommend "Rogner Bad Blumau" as a place you must visit at least once due to its uniqueness, and it is definitely a place you can revisit many times. We surely will stay here again in the future!
Alexander M — Google review
Unexpectedly reasonable price (2000€ for 2 people / 5 days in the busiest season) for how luxuriant the place is. Buffet Dinner is especially recommended. Brief walking tour is available if you're interested in the background of the place. Don't ignore the Saunas! Edit: I've been here a handful of times now. I'd like to share that we asked about possibilities to eat in a quieter place via email (for disability reasons). To our delight, in addition to responding with some options, they reserved a table for us in one of the quieter rooms without remark! That dinner was excellent even beyond the food :)
Alexander G — Google review
I love this place. It’s magical. At the entrance you will be greeted by cows grazing on the meadows surrounded by apple trees. Did I mention that you can pick the apples right off the tress and take a tasty bite. Everything is incredibly clean. Stay for the night, there is a real life volcano show. There is a bar outside where you can take sips of cocktails prepared with ultimate care while you relax in the jacuzzi. The architecture is splendid.
Tess O — Google review
Very original and organised location. Towels included. We loved the water park and the restaurant was ok, the food maybe not amazing but good. The best part is absolutely the buildings... Very original and well-kept. Beautiful gardens. We did not stay in the hotel though so can't tell you about it. Maybe a bit expensive but amazing. A very zen place!

It’s a small waterfall. You should save your ticket so that to reach the top of it in and to see the lake. I lost my ticket, so I couldn’t pass the gate at the top. Be careful. There is a caffe near the entrance. It’s not expensive but quite good.

Very lovely and worthwhile little hike. Lots of roots and rocks that act as stairs the higher up the trail you go, so wear proper shoes! Waterfall area has a very well built boardwalk path. Climbing up is nice! Gasthaus has delicious food and night time live music! There are plenty of clean bathrooms along the paths, even at the very first parking area. Bring your puppers!

It is very beautiful and an amazing place to enjoy hiking with water and nature around. The sound of water is just magical and comfortable. The way from both sides is very beautiful. The air is full of humidity, and the colour of nature and stone makes it even more attractive and beautiful. We were on the weekend there . There were lots of people, we still enjoyed it but I would prefer to visit in on weekdays . We were with a car 🚗 there . It was very difficult to find a parking place . We waited for almost 20 minutes to find a free place. For the people with cars, I would also say to visit this place on weekdays. This place is amazing for a picnic, hiking, swimming and for kids is this place also lots of fun.

Fire Tower

Mentioned on 
9 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Fire Tower in Sopron, a 13th-century structure with a 200-step spiral staircase leading to a balcony offering stunning views of the town and its surroundings. Situated on the ruins of an ancient Roman wall, this iconic landmark served as the northern entrance to the city. The tower's baroque balcony and onion dome make it easily recognizable. While it no longer functions as a watch post, visitors can still learn about its historical significance and enjoy panoramic vistas from its summit.
Great view from the tower at an affordable price. I recommended! On the way up the tower you can lean about the history of the tower and the city of Sopron through the ages. The history is illustrated with pictures and information in Hungarian, German and English. You do need to climb some narrow stairs to get up to the tower. It’s an old tower so there is no elevator to get up. I have added pictures from daytime, nighttime and the view from the tower overlooking the city.
Alexander W — Google review
Whose idea was to put that "SopronFest" poster all around the tower? It has no place there. By the time you see it, you're already in Sopron, so what's the point in ruining the most iconic building of the city. Well, putting that aside, go see the tower, read its history, spend some time going through the exhibition inside, climb the stairs and enjoy the view!!

Chong C — Google review
I would say this represents the focal point of Sopron and with the great 360 degree views from the tower is definitely worth a visit. But you can combine this scenic experience with cultural interest by including the lapidarium which contains carved stone elements, some dating back to Roman times. Also if you go down to the basement you are standing on part of an ancient Roman road.

Definitely the symbol of the city! Indeed it is really a gorgeous monument, which can be seen from different parts of the city! Anyway, it would be literally amazing if you can even acces it to enjoy an amazing view of the city but I am not 100% sure this is not possible to do!

Wow! This is so worth the visit! Very interesting and a true walk back into the WW2 era. It is cool (8degrees all year round) and some spots are slippery.

Very fun experience! We came in as a group of 20 students and had a very pleasant tourguide who joked around with us while talking about the scenery. The boat ride provided some pretty cool views. Overall, we had a lot of fun! Only downside is that we expected the tour to take a little bit longer.

Beautiful cave experience! You start with a guided walk through the cave, then continue with a short boat ride, and afterward you can explore on your own at your own pace on the way back. Inside it’s a refreshing 9°C, so it feels nice and cool. You can also rent a blanket at the entrance for just €0.50 and return it afterward. You can pay by card, and there’s a small coffee place with a toilet (most likely you should buy something if you want to use it). Overall, a beautiful and unique experience!
Ovidiu S — Google review
A very unique spot to visit in vicinity of Vienna which takes around 45-50 minutes to go through. You start walking into the cave and a guide explains you few things at various spots and at the end is a boat trip at lowest level (60m below ground level). The ticket costs 18 euros per person. You have possibility to rent something warm (1 euro) to wear if you forgot to come dressed for lower temperature inside. The boat trip is the best part. With lighting the whole thing looks fantastic. You can find parking for car at the street next to it or go near the tennis place to park (beware to not park on Privatgrund of tennis place). Overall worth the buck.

Amazing experience near Vienna Interesting WW2 history and a beautiful underground lake Temperature is 9 degrees year round which is refreshing during the summer You start with a guided tour and can continue to explore the cave afterwards A small cafe is available Location is very easy to access via public transport All you do is take the s bahn or regional express train to Mödling and then take a bus directly to the cave Would highly recommend

I've spent almost an entire day here with my friends back in June and it was just beautiful – relaxing, pretty nature, and plenty of things to do: you can have a picnic (like we did), rent a boat for a ride around the lake (very enjoyable), get some ice-cream, try spotting all the animals on the park's ground, and explore all the paths. It's definitely the perfect weekend gateway when the weather is nice and warm. ☀️🏰

Nándor T — Google review
The worst family trip experience in recent years! We specifically traveled with our 3-year-old child from Bratislava, spending a considerable amount of money — €78 for two adults and another €39 for a child ticket. And what did we get? Our child was not allowed on most rides due to being 90 cm tall, as almost all attractions are only available for those 120 cm and taller. This raises the question: why do you charge for a child ticket if there are practically no activities available for such young children? This feels misleading. Our child was upset, and we were disappointed, as we expected a family-friendly day out but ended up with nothing but frustration. A park that calls itself “family-oriented” should honestly inform visitors about such height restrictions or provide at least some attractions suitable for small children. After such an experience, I cannot recommend this park and believe the management should seriously consider how to compensate guests for situations like this

We absolutely love this place! ❤️ We’ve been coming here since our kids were 3 and 4 years old — now they’re 10 and 8 — and we’ve tried it in every season: at Easter, in summer, and in autumn as well. Most recently, we attended the Halloween party and watched the evening show at the end, which was a circus performance. The kids adored it! 🎪 The Halloween decorations were simply fantastic — so detailed and high-quality. We also really appreciate that there are plenty of restaurants and restrooms throughout the park. This time my mom came with us too — she doesn’t go on the rides, but she still loved the atmosphere, the environment, and the evening lights. ✨ We can warmly recommend this place to everyone. We’ve already been several times, and we’ll definitely be back again! 🎃👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Very nice park with children. For example, our child is 6 years old, 1.2m tall. He was only allowed to go to one attraction, he could go everywhere else, of course with an adult. Definitely not intended only for adults who want adrenaline. I recommend it.
Aurimas G — Google review
Went last year and this year again. Price seems high but if you spend all day there every penny is worth. Some rides have longer line ups but I think its part of this type experience. Many times you will wait in the shade.No one wants to be there on cold or rainy day. Kids (7 and 9) had lots of fun on Crocodile Splash Ride. Be ready that you wait in the line for 20+ minutes to get super wet. If you go to the Lake Dragon Boat make sure to keep bag/purse/backpack on side in the shelf designated for it. We saw a girl who put the bag by her knees and it ended up in the water Only one minus I see that restaurants dont offer healthy options. Both times we went to Family Park we had tasty dinner in village called Rust just 5 minutes away from the park.

This park was referred by my daughter and me and my wife came to this park and we both loved the view and the atmosphere the nature and the fresh breeze, beauty and the environment. There are lots of spots that can relax and enjoy the nature. Some ponds with sun beds and other seats. Also will be a great location for family camping or picnic activities. This park also can be a place where you can run and do some activities.

This is one of the most beautiful urban parks I have ever been to. I was immediately blown away by the beauty, silence and the nostalgic feeling it gave me!

This is a must for any not-first-time Vienna visitor: this huge, natural-looking yet meticulously manicured park has been built around 1970 on top of a large (and diligently secured) dumpster, but you would never guess its past. Cozy nooks everywhere, impressive, shady trees, vast lawn areas, free lounge chairs that make you relax immediately, a number of water features, a labyrinth, playgrounds, a Japanese garden... You can't really discover it all in one take. If you are stamina-challenged, choose one of the entrances on top and then let yourself "roll" comfortably downhill. It is quiet here mid-week; it helps that the use of anything with wheels (except strollers) is not allowed. Once you arrived at the bottom of the hill, don't miss taking a break and enjoying a sweet delight at the Kurkonditorei Oberlaa: these folks know how to spoil your sweet tooth!

Peaceful place I keep coming back to because it’s a piece of nature which feels like escaping the fast paced city life. It’s just super sad that a lot of dog owners don’t respect the leash requirement rules. They let their dogs run off leash and the dogs run around and scare the wild life such as ducks :( not cool

It’s a milestone in a Vienna to do list with beautiful lake and lama park. You need more than a couple hours to visit the park as it deserves. I could just visit one half and I’ll come back another time to see the other half.
