Mentioned on

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks

Both inside and outside of the cathedral were impressive. Sunday mass was calming..71 sculpted faces adorning the side of the church was a rare finding for us... sitting down at a coffee shop. Amazing details of the faces...Dome was also magnificent...

Nice cathedral, great work by Juraj Dalmatinac but the 7 euros entrance fee is definitely too high..
Piotr M — Google review
Rising from the historic heart of Šibenik, the Cathedral of St. James is more than just a magnificent structure; it is a living testament to human faith, ingenuity, and spirit. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a sublime fusion of Gothic and Renaissance styles, a unique architectural masterpiece that tells a story not just of stone and mortar, but of the souls who shaped it. Crafted entirely from local limestone and marble, the cathedral stands as a tribute to the master builders who, across more than a century, meticulously brought their vision to life. Its most celebrated feature, the frieze of 71 sculpted human faces, each one unique, looks down upon the city with a quiet dignity. These are not merely decorative elements; they are the faces of the people—the merchants, the sailors, the artisans—who lived and breathed in this city, forever immortalized in stone. Each face seems to hold a secret, a memory, a silent prayer echoing through the ages. Inside, the light filters through the magnificent rose window, illuminating the intricate carvings and the hushed sanctity of the space. The absence of traditional building materials like wood or brick gives the interior a pure, almost ethereal quality. It is a space where the past feels palpable, where every arch and every column seems to whisper the names of those who stood there before, seeking solace, celebrating joy, and finding strength. The Cathedral of St. James is not just an architectural marvel; it is the spiritual and cultural anchor of Šibenik. To stand before it is to feel a connection to generations past, to appreciate the profound power of art, and to be reminded that the most enduring legacies are those built not just with hands, but with heart. It is a monument that speaks a universal language of beauty and devotion, a timeless beacon for all who seek inspiration.
Damir — Google review
One of the cathedrals that is worth the entrance fee (payable in cash). Though small, the baptistery is quite impressive. Outside the cathedral also holds many interesting details to look at. Take the brochure once inside the cathedral to read. Is well laid out information. The cathedral ticket comes with a free visit to Civitas Sacra museum (can skip unless you need find a place to escape the sun).
SPmoochi C — Google review
I visited on a weekday to avoid the larger crowds. The cathedral is one of the most significant and stunning architectural landmarks in Croatia. Since I wasn’t wearing the appropriate clothing (shorts), I chose not to enter out of respect, so I was only able to admire its exterior. Even so, the façade was breathtaking, and I look forward to returning someday to experience the interior as well. For photography enthusiasts, this spot is truly postcard-worthy.
Enzo S — Google review
Absolutely stunning, beautiful blend of gothic and renaissance architecture. I reccomend this and for art history lovers, and for people who just like to watch beautiful things. The heads on the fasade are just stunning!

The cathedral & the whole of Šibenik old town are stunning. Get there early or stay late to avoid the crowds. You won't regret it
Phil C — Google review
The must see in the cathedral is the small baptistery with carved ceiling. The 7€ entrance fee does also include the museum in a separate location. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to visit, so the fee is quite high. They only take cash too. They do provide a brochure in multiple languages so that you can do a self-guided tour, which is much better than many other cathedrals.

The park's karstic phenomenon showcases a canyon up to 200 meters deep carved through limestone hills by the river over millennia.

What a place. Really beautiful. Terrain maybe a little bit challenging for some people. The falls the lake the small fishes birds the wildlife is just amazing! Not to be missed when in Croatia. The wooden walkway at the end was the most amazing part. The view was spectacular.

This is a natural miracle! Everything is well organized-after you buy the ticket, a boat takes you to the park in about 20 minutes. The whole journey is fantastic. Then waterfalls and paths within the park are very natural and amazingly.
Kujtim H — Google review
An amazing series of waterfalls in a beautiful valley. I had not heard of Krka national park before visiting Croatia as it is not as well known as the Plitvice park but it is just as beautiful. We visited on a day trip from Split in late October. It is about 1 hour 20mins from Split. There are many different areas of the park and we visited Lozovac. Here there is a large free car park with free toilets near to the ticket office. The start of the waterfalls walk is in a valley about 1km from the ticket office. There is a regular shuttle bus every 15 mins or you can walk down a gravel path. We chose to walk down. The path is quite steep in places so you might want to use the shuttle bus to return as it is uphill on the way back. There are more toilets and a cafe near to the start of the boardwalk which is about 3.5km long and is suitable for buggies. There are lots of little streams and small falls but the main falls is near the end just after another cafe and some gift stalls. The whole valley is so beautiful, especially in the autumn and we got lucky on a cloudless sunny day.

Best to visit in sunny weather, beautiful waterfalls and lots of benches and restaurants within the park from skradin side. Very bad direction labelling, the trail is not clearly marked so we ended going around a circle instead of forward to the monastery :( Ask for directions along every way!

Fantastic natural parc! We took the boat from Skrandic and walked the whole round hike to the top and back again. Lot of wildlife and panoramic spots! Don't take a stroller with you, there are a lot of stairs and if you skip them, you'll miss many viewpoints.

Beautiful scenery. Easy walking. Well signposted. Only downside was the price of food and drink inside the park, absolutely disgraceful. €7 for a pouch with less fries than a McDonald's and €19.50 for a pathetic burger. I get not wanting people to bring food and drink in due to rubbish and cross contamination of food/nature but sort your prices out.

Fabulous experience of nature. Waterfalls were great. We took the boat from the nearby town and that was great. My mom who had difficulties walking could tag along with her walker. The stroll around the waterfalls were tough but worth it. It took about 30 minutes. Lots of steps here so no walker around the falls but no problem to and from the falls.

Museums
Specialty Museums
The Krapina Neanderthal Museum is a modern exhibit that focuses on the chronological development of human history, specifically during the Neanderthal period. The museum features one of Europe's most famous neanderthal remains and includes multimedia exhibitions that guide visitors from the Big Bang up to present day. This small yet impressive museum provides an opportunity to learn about prehistoric times and life during that era. Additionally, the museum's architecture is considered among the best in its region.
A small charming museum with a short (1 min walking) forest path to the excavation site. The museum showcases history from the Big Bang to today, with a focus on our neanderthal cousins. While the museum is wheelchair friendly (apart from the exit, which is through a forest path and stairs;however there is the option exiting back through the museum) there is a gravel climb to the museum entry from the main road which may be difficult. The museum features an audio guide.

Although its a museum of Krapina neanderthals, is actually much more. The museum showcases the history, human evolution and how we got to this point. The exhibition are very well made as curated. The building and the surroundings are amazing! I highly suggest it to everyone. It’s a great place to see something new, learn and be out in the nature. The tickets are cheap. It’s 10 EUR per person and 5 EUR for kids. Kids up to 3 years of age have free admission and there’s even a family ticket that covers 2 adults and 2 kids for 20 EUR. I personally suggest taking the audio guide as well. It’s very hand and costs only 2 EUR.

Varaždin is my favorite town. Fell in love with it some 20 years ago when I first visited it. It's a pea eful, ordered little town with a captivating old Town and a small castle in the middle of it. Architecturally it's quite European. Romantic even. We visited it again this summer, during the Spancirfest event. It was such a pleasant thing to experience. Like a movie set for a timeless place with a sense of community, peace, respect for tradition yet free for self expression. The streets during this festival are dotted with store stands from local trades. We saw home made ham, pottery, lots and lots and lots of artwork, a couple was even selling Thai hats. There was a baker with a basket visiting these stands, selling pastry to the other sellers, and you could pick up from the non verbals that there's a dose of friendship and commeradery there. Something you simply don't get to see often. It was so idyllic that you'd want to record the whole thing and send it off to a movie festival. If you're close by, make sure to spend at least a day soaking up the event. If you're not near by, do yourself a favor: visit this little town during some of these festivals.

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.

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.

Really wonderful place made better by the staff. Clement walked us through 8 wines we tasted and was as knowledgeable and pleasay as you can imagine. People come to take a picture of the oldest vine in the world. They should stay for the wine.

Tried orange wine for the first time in Maribor, Slovenia — a peaceful spot by the world’s oldest grapevine (over 400 years old). The wine was soft with a lovely floral aroma. I really enjoyed it! The area is accessible, but the cobblestone paths make it a bit tricky for wheelchair users.

Zotter Schokolade

Tours
Chocolate factory
Zotter Schokolade is a must-visit destination for chocolate lovers. Located in Austria, it's the country's largest chocolate manufacturer known for its weird and wonderful chocolates as well as its fair-trade and ethical practices. The facility offers tastings, chocolate making demos, and even features a petting zoo and garden.
One thing is no visiting the place my fave part were the art pieces and playground in edible zoo. Additionally next level thing is reading about the family, innovation and rewards. Is it so inspiring! Must visit, if you need some courage that everything is possible.
Karmen F — Google review
Zotter Chocolate Factory is a fantastic and exciting place to visit. The tour is beautifully designed, allowing you to walk through the factory and see every step of the chocolate-making process. The highlight is, of course, the unlimited tasting – you can try as many types and flavors of chocolate as you like, and it feels like a dream for any chocolate lover. While the price may seem high at first, you can easily spend several hours here, and the ticket also includes access to the small zoo and outdoor areas, making it a fun and relaxing day. A wonderful program for families and chocolate fans alike.
Péter S — Google review
We, two adults, really enjoyed everything. We spent as long as we wanted inside the factory and sampled an incredible amount of excellent chocolate, including seeing the chocolate-making process. The entire tour was well-designed and stylish, with excellent views of the edible zoo, which is also beautiful. The large, well-maintained grounds are a pleasure to explore for both children and adults. I would have liked to have been able to buy coffee during the tour; that would have made tasting the chocolate even more enjoyable. The company store offers a delightful variety and a fantastic selection of gift sweets. We'll definitely be back.
Anastasiia — Google review
An amazing experience. We visited during Lange Nacht der Museen(get ready to wait during the day) but totally worth during normal days too. There are insanely many chocolates to taste. From cocoa beans from different countries to dipped fruits, different stirring times to percentages. Impossible to try all the chocolates.
Berke A — Google review
An absolutely amazing experience. It's located in a wonderful part of Austria. I highly recommend it to everyone - both kids and adults alike. We spent 3 hours just in the factory, and afterwards it was great to have something savory to eat outside. 😃 You can tase an unbelievable amount of delicous cohocolate. Afterwards, you can also stock up on your favorites in the shop. Most importanly, you can truly feel that this family-run-business is made with their heart and soul. I WISH EVERYONE COULD EXPERIENCE WHAT REAL BEAN-TO-BAR CHOCOLATE IS LIKE. 🤎 Vielen Dank!🍫
Csilla G — Google review
The chocolate factory proved to be a fantastic destination for adults, though it was a bit challenging with our group of six children across two families. The tour starts strong with a very informative video that expertly explains the entire chocolate-making process, which the grown-ups thoroughly enjoyed. ​The true highlight is the factory tour's tasting experience: they claim to offer over 300 different samples, and while I gave it my best shot, it's safe to say no one can taste them all! The venue thoughtfully includes a pleasant "zoo" area with a few animals at the end, providing a nice space for kids to run around.
Lior S — Google review
It is recommended to buy tickets in advance for faster entry. You can taste an incredible amount of chocolate (around 300 (!)), it is worth eating a little bit of everything because it can be too much by the end. 😅 I recommend it to everyone, it's worth the price!
Péter S — Google review
A must visit, amazing guidance and tastings that will make you unable to stop eating the amazing variety of chocolates there. It is recommended to take a trip to the sculpture garden and see the animals.

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.
Miles M — Google review
From outside it is nicely renovated. You can take great photos of it from the square

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!

Most of the outlet is at full price! Its named outlet yet the prices are not outlet. There is only a small section in each store with a very minimal discount from original prices. The only store i entered that actually had outlet prices was Gucci! Food is expensive here too. The place is huge. Not worth the visit for me. Roermond outlet in Netherlands is way better although they are the same!!!

The Blue Church - Church of St. Elizabeth

Mentioned on 
+89 other lists 
Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
The Blue Church, also known as the Church of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, is a striking baby-blue church designed in the art nouveau style in the early 1900s. Its unique blue-colored exterior and otherworldly architectural style make it one of the most unique churches to visit. The design is reminiscent of the popular Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona, but with a blue hue. Visitors can marvel at its architecture and enjoy free entry during designated times every day except Sundays.
Bratislava- Slovakia 🇸🇰 The Blue Church – officially known as the Church of St. Elizabeth – is one of the most iconic landmarks in Bratislava, Slovakia.😇♥️ Situated in the Old Town, about 10 minutes’ walk from the city center Sky blue façade, mosaics, and roof tiles — hence the nickname “The Blue Church” Oval church nave with a cylindrical tower. Decorated with white and blue majolica tiles. Interior is equally blue-themed, with painted pews, walls, and ceilings. Contains an image of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, to whom it is dedicated. Don’t miss this Holy place and architectural marvel if you’re around Bratislava 🫶🏻♥️
Sony K — Google review
This church is so cute. The blue against the afternoon sky was a great to see. The church opens at 5.30 to 7pm but I was lucky there was a wedding going on so I was able to see the inside before it officially opened. But its definitely worth the visit.
Mandy J — Google review
I visited the Blue Church in Bratislava, and it truly feels like a fairytale building—almost like a big, beautifully decorated cake. The pastel blue color and unique Art Nouveau style make it stand out from anything else in the city. I was lucky enough to watch a music show inside, and the atmosphere was magical. The interior matched the charm of the outside, and the acoustics made the performance even more special. It’s not a big church, so you don’t need too much time to explore, but it’s definitely worth a visit for its one-of-a-kind design and peaceful vibe.

Very unique looking church which was one of a kind. Not really in the most exciting part of the town but would recommend visiting during broad daylight by car. The inside of the church was closed but you could still look inside. Everything was very baby blue which I have never seen before. Definitely a must visit in Bratislava.

Čumil Statue

Mentioned on 
23 lists 
Sights & Landmarks
Monuments & Statues
In the heart of Bratislava's historical center, you'll find Čumil, a charming bronze statue that has become one of the city's most beloved attractions. This quirky sculpture depicts a sewer worker taking a break and peeping out from a manhole with a mischievous smile on his face. Known as "the watcher" in Slovak, Čumil is just one of several whimsical statues scattered throughout the Old Town.
Beautiful and unique, and somewhat extraordinary, I'd say. A nice story to go with it could enhance the monument—perhaps I missed it. Bratislava is an interesting place and the center of a virtually "newly born" state. Undoubtedly, Bratislava has a Hungarian history, followed by a "twinning" with the Czech Republic. Slovaks can be proud of their history and should take the opportunity to showcase their Hungarian and, to some extent, Austrian roots—after all, Bratislava was the capital of Hungary for a long time. During this time, the Habsburgs and the German-speaking population played an important role in Bratislava. Explanations of the many well-restored buildings and monuments should also be provided in German and Hungarian.
Günther R — Google review
A unique little statue that attracts attention. Although it is not a large monument, it is still interesting and you can always see tourists taking pictures of it or having their pictures taken with the statue. I have passed it several times and there were always tourists around the statue. It is perhaps one of the most famous landmarks in the city.
Spase M — Google review
Easily Bratislava’s most beloved and cheeky landmark - a bronze worker peeking out of a manhole, grinning up at passersby. It’s playful, funny, and a reminder not to take sightseeing too seriously. Locals say rubbing his head brings good luck (though judging by the shine, everyone’s already tried). Perfect photo spot, especially after a pint or two-you can’t help but smile when you spot him on the corner of Panská and Laurinská. Tip: Keep an eye out when walking - he’s literally on the street, and yes, people have tripped over him.
Neel B — Google review
The Čumil Statue Čumil, one of Bratislava’s most famous landmarks, is a bronze statue located at the corner of Panská and Laurinská Streets in the city’s Old Town. Created by sculptor Viktor Hulík in 1997, it depicts a cheerful man peeking out from a manhole, resting his chin on his hands as he watches the world go by. The name Čumil comes from Slovak slang and means “the watcher” or “the observer.” The statue adds a touch of humor and charm to the historic streets of Bratislava and has become a beloved symbol of the city. Visitors often stop to take photos with Čumil for good luck and to experience a bit of the city’s playful spirit.
Ray — Google review
Čumil is one of Bratislava’s most famous and quirky statues, showing a man peeking out of a manhole. It’s a fun photo spot and adds charm to the Old Town streets. Locals say he might be “just watching” or “resting from work,” and there are even little legends about him bringing luck if you touch his head. It’s quick to see but definitely worth stopping by for a smile and a memorable picture.

Bratislava Castle

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Perched on a hilltop in Bratislava, Slovakia, the iconic Bratislava Castle is a reconstructed Baroque fortress with roots dating back to 907 A.D. This national museum offers visitors a glimpse into the city's intriguing history and serves as a prominent landmark dominating the capital's skyline.
What a lovely place, perched up over the city as castles often are, providing great views across the city and river Danube. Free entry to gardens around the castle and well worth a visit. There is more than one entrance and exit to the castle, but the main entrance at the top of the steep hill has the nicest entrance with a lovely gateway entrance. There is a red bus that takes you up and down the hill, l didn't use it so unsure of the cost, but worth knowing if you are not great with steep climbs.
Claire W — Google review
Very cool castle. Unfortunately it was super foggy the day we visited, so we couldn’t enjoy the view, but it gave a nice mysterious vibe to the castle. The gardens are beautiful, and the inside as well. Nothing too special if you’ve visited other big castles in Europe, but I’d say it’s worth it of you have a couple of hours to spend
Rodrigo C — Google review
Perched on a hill overlooking the Danube, this white fortress offers the best panoramic views in the city. The museum inside is skippable unless you’re into Slovak political history - the real attraction is the gardens and views from the terrace. Sunset here is spectacular. Tip: Visit in the late afternoon and walk down via the old stone steps into the Old Town for dinner.
Neel B — Google review
Definitely worth a visit. A real castle on the hill. You can walk to it from the city centre, taking around 20-30 minutes but it’s an uphill route. Although inside the castle, there’s not much to see, I still really like the view from the tower. You can also visit the castle from the outside in the evening as well.

Bratislava Castle is an absolutely stunning landmark that dominates the city skyline and offers breathtaking views of the Danube River. Its elegant white façade and four corner towers give it a majestic, timeless charm. Inside, the castle houses fascinating exhibitions about Slovak history and culture, beautifully presented in a modern yet respectful way. The surrounding gardens and courtyards are peaceful and well maintained, perfect for a quiet walk or photo stop. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or just enjoying a great panoramic view, Bratislava Castle is a must-visit destination that truly captures the spirit of Slovakia.
Salvatore P — Google review
Bratislava Castle is absolutely worth the visit. The walk up is relaxing, and once you reach the top, the views over the city and the Danube are incredible. The castle itself is clean, well-kept, and full of history, but what I loved most was the peaceful atmosphere around the gardens and walls. It’s one of those places where you can take your time, enjoy the scenery, and really appreciate the city. A must-see when you’re in Bratislava!

The castle has great outsides and looks that has been maintained very well. Great to go walking or just outside coffee. The inside exhibitions at least from mi pov are very minimalistic.

Belvedere Palace is a stunning example of Baroque architecture located in Vienna's Landstrasse district. It consists of two grand palaces separated by a beautiful French-style garden. Originally built as a summer residence for Prince Eugene of Savoy in the 18th century, it now houses an impressive art collection spanning from the Middle Ages to contemporary works, including a notable collection of Klimt paintings.
Wow! Loved this extraordinary attraction and gardens. The architecture is amazing. My son and I really enjoyed the walk through and landscapes. The stone carvings / statues are beautifully placed. We did not visit inside the attraction as we will go another day.

Went to see Gustav Klimt on exhibition and it was a wonderful experience to see his work alongside Monet, Van Gogh and Egon Schiele. The palace is easy to navigate and the exhibition was over 3 floors. I visited late 5pm before closing and it was not crowded. I got to see all the works up close and truly appreciate the details. Staff are very vigilant and protect the work from people standing too close, its also important to check sinage as its not permitted to take photos of all the work. I had a wonderful time exploring the grounds before sunset. Found bamboo in the botanical gardens. It was not so lush as we are at the end of autumn, but it is a marvellous palace nevertheless. There is a cafe with very attentive and kind staff, great coffee. We also were very lucky the xmas markets were on at the time. Some beautiful stalls with great artisanal items!

Belvedere Palace was built between 1714 and 1723 as the summer residence for Prince Eugene of Savoy.After his death,it was acquired by Maria Theresa and transformed into one of the world's first public museums.It has since been used for various purposes,including as a residence for the heir to the throne and most famously,as the location where the Austrian State Treaty was signed in 1955, officially declaring Austria's freedom. Additionally,it houses a significant collection of art,including the world's largest collection of works by Gustav Klimt, with his famous paintings "The Kiss",Monet and Vincent van Gogh. It was a very enjoyable visit that traveled me in time!!

The Belvedere is a wonderful choice for a stroll and for experiencing beauty. The park is very pleasant and inspires a positive outlook, and the museum itself is incredibly aesthetically pleasing. You can see wonderful paintings not only by Klimt but also by other artists, as well as sculptures. There are absolutely unique works of art, portraits, and still lifes that are every bit as good as the famous canvases. The Klimt hall is wonderful; I really enjoyed his landscapes! A wonderful place!

Amazing! The paintings and organisation of the museum is impressive, the collection of Gustav klimit is iconic. If you’re there to discover the palace as a historical place i don’t recommend since there is no rooms displayed. If you’re an art fanatic i recommend 3 hours.

Visiting Belvedere Palace in Vienna is a feast for the eyes, particularly if you appreciate grand architecture and historic structures. The palace itself is stunning, with intricate interiors and elegant layouts that make wandering through its halls a visual delight. Even with parts of the building under restoration, the charm and grandeur of the palace remain impressive. The exhibition, however, is less remarkable. While it has its moments, it doesn’t quite match the awe-inspiring atmosphere created by the palace and its architecture. Art lovers may enjoy it, but for those primarily seeking a “wow” factor, it may feel underwhelming. A practical note: the queues can be long, especially on weekends. Even if you buy tickets online, you may have to wait for a later slot; when we arrived, our online tickets only allowed entry three hours later. Planning ahead and booking well in advance is highly recommended. The gardens are fantastic and free to explore. Locals often jog, run, or just relax there, and it's lovely to see artists drawing or people chilling. Overall, the views and grounds make it worth avisit! Overall, Belvedere Palace is worth visiting for its architecture and historical appeal, but don’t set your expectations too high for the exhibitions.
Kelvin T — Google review
I visited the Belvedere to experience the art of Gustav Klimt and to take in the stunning architecture and perfectly maintained gardens. The museum spans three floors, each offering something remarkable, from the magnificent Marble Hall, where the Austrian State Treaty was signed, to galleries filled with masterpieces from different eras. The highlight, of course, is Klimt’s The Kiss and Judith, along with several of his early works that show his artistic evolution. The atmosphere is both grand and intimate, you feel the history, the art, and the spirit of Vienna all in one place. Book your tickets in advance and stick to your time slot, as it can get busy. Give yourself time to explore the grounds, they’re as inspiring as the collection inside. A must-visit in Vienna. Highly recommended.

Schönbrunn Palace is an 18th-century summer residence that offers tours of its opulent rococo ceremonial rooms and lavish gardens with a maze. The palace boasts beautiful Baroque and Neo-Classical architecture, reflecting Vienna's rich history as the town of Habsburgs and Maria Theresa. It is Vienna's most visited attraction, featuring 45 luxurious state rooms, ceremonial halls, and private apartments once inhabited by Empress Elisabeth and Emperor Franz Joseph.
Gorgeous place to visit- bring a coat if going in the winter or fall as it can get chilly. Recommend buying tickets ahead of time and just walk to the front of the palace to enter- audio guides can be procured upon entry. If you have kids- there is also a small zoo, and a playground in the garden maze area.

We had a wonderful day exploring Schönbrunn Palace and its beautiful gardens! The place is enormous, so expect to spend almost the entire day walking around, discovering its stunning architecture, elegant interiors, and rich history. There are plenty of benches outside where you can rest, have a picnic, or simply people-watch. The gardens are incredibly lovely and very well-maintained, and the entire area is so organized that you’ll enjoy exploring no matter which part you visit. There’s also a children’s museum, zoo, mazes, cafés, restaurants, and more! We especially enjoyed the short hike up to the Gloriette for a breathtaking view of the palace grounds. A definite must-see when in Vienna!

It was my first visit to Schönbrunn Palace in 47 years, and its magnificent scenery was as wonderful as ever as a symbol of the Habsburg dynasty. The lavish decorations inside the palace and the splendor of the gardens are as magnificent as ever, demonstrating the majesty of a World Heritage Site that is worth revisiting. Walking around the vast gardens, I was reminded of its grandeur and splendor. The splendid decorations and paintings inside the palace are also worth seeing.

You need to explore all the places so a classic plus ticket is recommended for 75 euros, this will cover all the gardens, zoo, terrace, and the palace. This will be a long trip and you need to rest between them so I'd recommend to start your trip at 10 a.m. to finish it at 5 p.m. I strongly recommend to buy your tickets online becuase there was a very long line.

Must visit experience with good audio guide cost included in the ticket. The beautiful gardens beside the palace add to the charm of it and the grandeur of the palace is amazing. We had a great time at the Christmas market setup right outside the palace in early November.

This spot is heaven on earth. I was excited to catch the early Christmas market in the palace gardens, so many great food stalls and adorable Christmas goodies shops! The evening ambiance with all the lights was simply stunning. A truly enchanting and memorable experience.

The Palace is absolutely stunning! The architecture is magnificent, and the gardens surrounding the palace are beautifully designed and very spacious. Walking through the grounds, you can enjoy fountains, sculptures, and perfectly maintained flower beds. The area around the palace is full of charm and offers great spots for photos. Visiting Schönbrunn Palace is a truly unforgettable experience and a must-see when in Vienna.

Historical place

The Hofburg Imperial Palace, located in the heart of Vienna, is a grand complex that served as the residence and seat of power for the Habsburgs. This historic site, dating back to the 13th century, stands as a testament to the imperial history of the Danube monarchy. Today, it houses various institutions including the Austrian Federal President's office, museums such as the Sisi Museum and Court Silver Collection, and serves as an international conference center.
Impressive imperial palace complex in the heart of Vienna. Rich history, grand architecture, and well-curated museums make it a must-visit. Allow enough time to explore the Sisi Museum and the Imperial Apartments.

This is an enormous Palace complex. It houses several museums including the Sisi and Albertina, also the Spanish riding school arena and a church. You need to do some homework if you are interested in some of the above. Otherwise strolling around and taking in all the different centuries of architecture is very pleasing.

Hofburg Palace, Vienna In the centre of Vienna stands this majestic palace complex which houses two museums including the famous Sisi museum dedicated to Empress Elisabeth. Built in the 13th century it was the winter residence as well as the seat of the government of the imperial family. The architecture is great and a big tourist attraction. In the front are some ruins and the area is full of tourists all through the day. Horse carts with well attired charioteers are there for the tourists to enjoy royal carriages. Being in the historic old town the place is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The Austrians certainly know how to do a building and the Hapsburgs really got it right. Just walking around the grounds can still the visitor to quite awe. There are a number of places with the area to visit and requires a ticket but it’s free to walk through the gardens and around the Palace buildings.

St. Stephen's Cathedral

Mentioned on

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
St. Stephen's Cathedral is a medieval Roman Catholic place of worship in Vienna, Austria. It features an ornate spire, catacombs, and a treasury museum. Visitors can explore the cathedral to admire world-renowned works of art and church utensils for a fee. The catacombs house the remains of Austrian emperors and are accessible only to guided tour groups for an additional cost.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We visited St. Stephen’s Cathedral over the weekend, and it was such a beautiful experience. The architecture is stunning — Austria really knows how to blend modern and classic styles. You can feel the history, yet everything around feels fresh and vibrant. The cathedral is surrounded by modern buildings and high-end shops, creating a unique mix of culture and lifestyle. One thing I really appreciated is that entry to the cathedral is free, which is rare in Europe. You only pay if you want to go up to the tower for the panoramic city view — and the price is quite reasonable. Children under 10 enter for free, and kids under 18 get a 50% discount. Overall, everything in Austria feels very clean, safe, and well-organized. We really enjoyed our time here and definitely recommend visiting St. Stephen’s Cathedral if you’re in the city center.
Theavy — Google review
St. Stephen’s Cathedral rises like a medieval stone heartbeat in the very center of Vienna. Its Gothic spire, ribbed vaults, and stained-glass windows aren’t just architectural flourishes; they are the city’s compass and heartbeat. Every street in Vienna seems to spiral outward from here, as if the entire city were built around prayer. Inside, the air feels thick with centuries of pious devotion. The flicker of candles against cold stone, the scent of wax and incense, the hush of travelers and locals alike; it all combines into a kind of living liturgy. The cathedral isn’t just a monument to faith; it’s a place where belief, art, and history intertwine. Every carving and arch seems to whisper the same message: beauty is one of the purest ways to praise God. On Saturday evenings, when the bells call the faithful for the 7:00 PM English Mass, a golden light fills the nave as the sun sets behind the stained glass. Tourists pause, locals kneel, and the choir’s echo mingles with the organ’s thunder. It’s a deeply human moment, both intimate and grand — a reminder that Vienna’s soul is not found only in its cafés and concert halls, but here, in this cathedral that has watched over the city for nearly 900 years. A must-visit not just to see, but to feel. St. Stephen’s doesn’t merely stand at the center of Vienna. It is Vienna’s heart.❤️ Christmas celebration in full swing outside of the cathedral.

I visited St. Stephen's Cathedral from the outside, and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. The architecture of the cathedral is impressive, and the streets and squares nearby are full of charm, cafes, and shops. It’s a perfect spot for sightseeing and taking photos. I really enjoyed walking around and soaking in the lively atmosphere of the area .

This cathedral is absolutely stunning. The architecture, both inside and out, is breathtaking. Right beside it, an early Christmas market was happening with adorable stalls. The interior is a true work of art. At night, it transformed into what looked like a massive haunted castle, haha!
Harsha J — Google review
The cathedral is a magnificent piece of architecture and a sight to behold. My strong personal critique, however, is the commercialization of the space. Requiring payment for entry into the main sections creates a barrier that I feel is fundamentally opposed to Christian teachings. A church should be a place where anyone, regardless of their financial means, can enter to pray and connect with God.
Deepu J — Google review
I have to say that I was really excited to visit St. Stephen’s Cathedral. I had seen it in pictures, on Instagram, everywhere, and seeing it in person was such a beautiful, emotional moment. The cathedral is stunning from the inside out. We bought our tickets the same day; you cannot buy tickets online, so you need to go directly to the ticket area. If you want to go to the top of the cathedral, there are two options: • South Tower – You must climb around 300 steps. It’s very high and can be exhausting. • North Tower – This is the one we chose. It actually has a better view, including a 360° view, and you can take the elevator, which is definitely nicer. We also visited the dungeons, and that was fascinating. You see cadavers that have been there since the 1500s (or around that time). They give you a guided tour that explains how people were buried and the history of the underground cemetery. It’s very interesting, I won’t spoil too much, but I definitely recommend it. We didn’t do the full church tour because when we arrived, they were having Mass, and we didn’t want to wait. Plus, after going up the tower in the cold, we were already a bit tired. So just be prepared, going to the top can be draining, especially if you’re an introvert. We’re both introverts, and we were completely drained afterwards. But honestly, the cathedral itself is breathtaking. It’s hard to believe something so massive and detailed was built so long ago. I really can’t even explain how incredible it is, you just have to see it for yourself. One thing I liked is that everything is done on the same day, and you don’t have to worry about online bookings. You can explore one part of the cathedral and come back another day to do the rest, if you want. We didn’t, but it’s an option. We bought two tickets: • one for the underground cemetery tour • one for the North Tower (highly recommend this one!) I also recommend doing the official church tour because it gives you the full history, when it was built, who built it, and all the important details. I kind of regret not doing that. Overall, I highly recommend visiting St. Stephen’s Cathedral. I don’t have many pictures because I really wanted to take everything in with my own eyes and enjoy the moment. If you go, do the same,or have someone else take photos for you,because the experience goes by too fast. And you don’t want to miss it by staring at your phone.

St. Stephen’s Cathedral is a stunning Gothic masterpiece and a must-see in Vienna. I booked my ticket through GetYourGuide, which was convenient and easy. You need to claim the actual ticket at the Dom Museum Wien next to the cathedral before entry, so it’s best to go a few minutes early. The cathedral’s interior, towers, and views are breathtaking — rich in history and atmosphere. Worth the visit!

Stephansplatz Wien is a captivating blend of modernity and historical charm, offering a delightful stroll through time. The lively square is adorned with horse-drawn carriages, cozy restaurants, souvenir shops, and sweet treats like ice cream. Families with children and pets can be seen enjoying the area's vibrant atmosphere. With its central location in Vienna, it provides easy access to the metro system for convenient exploration.
The heart of Vienna, from where you can stroll through the city center. With St. Stephen's Cathedral, luxury boutiques, and numerous horse-drawn carriages, not to mention the many restaurants nearby. Probably the first place to visit upon arrival in Vienna, then for a stroll and sightseeing in the surrounding area.

This area is good to explore. It hosts Stephenskriche-church and this church is beautiful. You can get into the church & lit candles & pray. This is one of the most visited place in Vienna, so in summer, this will be crowded with tourists. You can explore this area as you like it- do shopping, eat good, or just explore cultural capital. You can also buy Gustav Klimt’s paintings, Austrian silver jewellery, Austrian liquor and sweets. I love to stroll around this place in mornings when crowd is less. This is easily accessible through metro, and is very safe.

The Stephansdom (St. Stephen's Cathedral) that sits at the center of this busy square was packed with tourists on a weekday afternoon. However, it's an impressive Gothic cathedral and worth the visit. You don't need to spend more than 1/2 hour here. For me, that was plenty. Don't miss some of the interesting exterior motifs of skulls and crossbones; I don't know why those are there, but it's a good question to ask your tour guide, if you happened to splurge for one.

A beautiful place, a palace with impressive architecture and simply amazing gardens. We didn't go into the palace itself but we walked around the gardens for about an hour.

A very fascinating and well maintained place worth a quick visit. Some items like self standing staircases are fascinating to watch. Also each room furniture has been maintained pretty well. The floor, the walls, roofs all look to have been preserved very well. Only possible to visit as a part of guided tour, which takes place only in Czech language. But not an issue since they provide written guiding text in other languages. The young lady leading the tour was friendly and asked if there was a question, she was happy to answer individually in English. The tour takes around 40-50 Minutes. The staff at reception doesn't speak English. Luckily one lady was able to speak German so it was possible to get information nevertheless.

Would highly recommend it combined with a tour in the vineyards around.

Lots of kid pools and slides in different areas so you are not stuck in one location all day.

We decided to try the 30-minute Salt Therapy experience at Aqualand Moravia, priced at 79 CZK per person, after carefully reading the description and information displayed outside. Based on that, we expected to enjoy a relaxing session with noticeable salty air and calming atmosphere. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all. Upon entering, there was no scent of salt or mineral air—only the smell of wooden benches. The temperature inside was exactly the same as outside the room, so there was no spa-like warmth or comfort. There was also no staff present to assist or explain anything about the experience. After about three minutes, we decided to leave, as the environment simply didn’t match what was described or expected. When we spoke with the manager, he explained how the salt spa supposedly works but did not listen to our feedback or concerns. Despite confirming we stayed only three minutes, the “best” solution offered was to not charge us for one entry instead of fully refunding us. Overall, this was a disappointing experience that could have been handled with more understanding and fairness. We would have been happy to pay if the session had provided even a hint of the salty air and relaxation it promised—but unfortunately, it did not.
Michal S — Google review
We visited on a weekday. We arrived at about 10am and had to wait about ten minutes to get in. We have been to many water parks as a family and this was probably in the top three. It seems small when you first enter but there are actually many different areas and the way it is organised is very clever. The best thing about it was the massive outdoor space and extremely hot outdoor pools, it works be great in the winter. You have to be able to understand Czech or German though to understand anything inside, English is not provided. One very strong criticism and sore point for me is the fact you have to pay for parking! Is absolutely scandalous as there is nothing else for miles around (so it’s not like people are trying to park there to go to a town centre, for example). Also, it’s even quite expensive, certainly not a nominal fee. It costs 70 czk which is about 3.50 USD. That policy needs to be reformed urgently.
Dora F — Google review
The place itself is wonderful.. they have a huge pool inside that leads you outside even in cold weather. There is also bunch of activities available like spa, water slides, hot pool and so on. The reason why I'm leaving 3 stars is because they don't tell you about the side effect of coming at lunch time on weekends and the aqualand is full. Than you have to face the long waiting line outside of the building in whatever weather and hope that you'll get inside in an hour. The tickets work best if you go there on week days soonest possible, otherwise you might end up turning back and trying to come back again next time. The prices however are usually really good based on what you get for it so I cannot badmouth on that.. all in all.. you'll get a quality service for a good price just think twice if there is a chance that you'll not be the only one with the thought of going there.

What a lovely experience, got to the place right before the service finished (around 17 something on a Thursday), managed to catch the beautiful sounds of a large pipe organ - the sound was amazing. There is a park around the cathedral’s perimeter with beautiful surroundings, you can see the whole city from afar from different angles, there are also a few cafes to sit super close to the cathedral or you can simply relax and enjoy your time with your own food and drink on one of the numerous benches (with the backs) that are located across the area

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the heart of Brno, Czech Republic, Špilberk Castle is a captivating medieval fortress that dates back to the 13th century. Originally constructed by King Premysl Otakar II as a royal residence, it evolved into a formidable baroque stronghold and later gained notoriety as one of the most notorious prisons during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Known as 'the prison of nations,' its dungeons housed political prisoners and revolutionaries alike.
Climbing the castle was not easy in this incredible summer weather. People on foot should be careful. It must have been hard. It would have been nice if there was still shade of trees. The trees didn't block much sunlight. It was really hard to climb the hill in hot weather. Then I went into the museum of the castle, which was big and had several rooms, but it was not good because I had to carry and see a booklet in English. Viewing is possible up to the third floor. It was convenient because there was a clean bathroom.

Definitely worth a visit. You can spend hours here. I went for the museum and there are three levels you can explore. You get to learn about the castle‘s history and architecture.

Špilberk Castle in Brno, Czech Republic, is a top destination for visitors seeking history and charm. Easily walkable from the city center, the castle offers a scenic uphill stroll with rewarding views. Its exhibitions are excellent, detailing the castle’s transformation from a medieval stronghold to a Baroque prison, with captivating displays of artifacts. The stories of prisoners, once confined in the castle’s eerie casemates, bring to life the harsh realities of their imprisonment under Habsburg rule. The castle’s restaurant, located on-site, provides a cozy spot to enjoy traditional Czech cuisine or lighter fare, complementing the nearby café for snacks and drinks. The highlight remains the castle’s beautifully tended garden, a tranquil oasis perfect for relaxing. Špilberk Castle blends rich history, engaging exhibits, dining options, and stunning gardens, making it a must-see in Brno.

The tour to the Macocha cave has two parts: one into the mountain and one a boat ride through the middle of the gorge : deep in the earth. Very exciting and thrilling. The tour is guided. Very friendly staff.absolutely recommended!

The Macocha Abyss is probably the most famous abyss in the Moravian Karst and at the same time in the Czech Republic and part of the Punkve Caves complex. The depth of the dry part of the abyss is 138.4 m, at its bottom there are Horní with depth 11 m and ‘Dolní macošské jezírka ´´. depth according to the guide 50 m. get a breathtaking look. I absolutely have to praise the guide and the Pilots on the underground boats

Truly wonderful Nature with many caves and cliffs. Macocha itself can be accessed through top or through a guide tour from below which I strongly recommend.

Bouzov Castle is a medieval fortress featuring an 8-storey watchtower, dry moat, and well-preserved period interiors. It is one of the most popular castles in the Czech Republic and a favored location for filmmakers. The castle offers festive halls and outdoor spaces with a fairytale atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy guided tours to explore its beautiful interiors filled with art collections. The grounds are also stunning, providing a picturesque setting for leisurely walks.
A really great place to visit. When we got the it turned out to be better than we expected. We had a really friendly tour guide, I cannot remember her name but she made the whole place even more interesting. Highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful and worth seeing. I did the tour in the interiors (ask for the printout in English at the cashiers) and in the moat. The moat you visit without the guide and it take max 20 Min if you are slow. The parking is ca 10 minutes away (walking distance) and it is possible to pay by card. I purchased the tickets online but I don’t think it is necessary. One of the guides could not speak English at all. The other was helpful. The ladies at the cashier speaks English and were helpful too.

Beautiful place. Full of magic. A fairytale castle come to life! Beautifully preserved, full of medieval charm and stunning architecture. The guided tour (also available in English) was packed with fascinating stories and ran smoothly. Perfect for a weekend trip — great for families, couples or solo travelers. Highly recommended!

It's a beautiful castle with a gorgeous interior. Everything is well maintained, you can only visit with guided tours (you find the different tours on their website, depending on the season.) Prices however begin at 11 euros/person (I have seen none at 4...) The guided tour was pretty quick, 40 minutes and quite frustrating as it's only given in czech. They give you a written pamphlet but it's not very clear or detailed.

Beautiful castle. It was a pity that, on weekdays, they only had basic tour, (Tower was not included)

Well preserved castle, but tour itself was a dissapointed. Cca 22eur for 2 adults with kid, 1 hour. Can get in only with a guided group, but guiding only in czech. If guidance was in english and more attractive, this could be great.

Everything works in tours at specific hours and ONLY in Czech, not English, not audio guide in any language. Parking 100Kc. Cheapest tour 60min 280Kc. With the entrance you get a paper in English with some description of the sights of the tour.

A beautiful castle where Czech fairy tales were set. Beautiful environment. They started an evening tours (Halloween). Take the children and it will be an experience as it should be. Nicely prepared, worth seeing. I recommend especially with children. Parking available for 100 KC.

The ŠKODA Muzeum is a museum located in a renovated production plant that showcases the history of the famous Czech auto brand through classic cars. It is an ideal destination for anyone interested in learning about Czech auto history as it offers an informative tour with knowledgeable guides. The admission rates are reasonable and there is a gift area for auto enthusiasts. In addition to the main museum, visitors can also request to see the depositary where raw gems are kept in a separate building.
Incredible experience. My partner arranged me an English speaking guided tour, and the tour guide was fantastic. Really informative and interesting. Explained the history to me which was fascinating. My highlight was the race car section upstairs. Coffee shop was great too. A must visit if you’re near Prague

Nice place with AC but really small exposition. You will need 15 min to see all. Poor access to cars that located above the floor. Poor gift shop.

Nice museum showing good insight into Skoda as one of the most innovative companies of the CEE region! All exhibits are described in Czech, German and English. There is also a artistic display of key moments and personalities i Czech history upstairs. Definitely ask about sports and prototypes exhibiton. Plus a good Restaurant / Cafe Vaclav on the spot.

Great museum with meticulously restored cars dating back to the beginning of 20th century. I was surprised by the variety of models Skoda produced over its history. Sport and prototypes depository is a must visit (included in museum entry ticket).

It's cool to see the company history and all the different cars/bikes but it is a very limited museum. There is another guided tour you can book in advance which might be more engaging

As a Skoda fan I really enjoyed the museum. Due to a ticket problem, I was hugely disappointed to not be able to tour the factory. I have six Skoda's and about to buy a seventh, but nothing helped with my appeal for entry.

Absolutely brilliant if you're into cars and Czech history - this place delivers on both fronts. The collection traces Skoda's journey from the early days to modern engineering, and it's genuinely fascinating how much innovation came out of this company. You get a real sense of Czech industrial pride and resilience through the decades. IMPORTANT: Book the factory tour at least 3 weeks in advance - it's worth it. You'll see current production, learn about future models, and get the full story from past to present. The museum alone is great, but the factory tour takes it to another level. Even if you're not a car person, the historical context and Czech culture woven throughout makes it compelling. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.
