I was surprise that i could chilled there and slept for about 2h on the "liegenstuhl with sonnenschrim" without getting charged for the place.. It was so relaxing with the sound of the wave, summer Breeze & giggles from the kids who were playing there n having fun.it has beach sevice guys to control everything there or if u need help. The beach is nice, clean, and even have closet room and shower. But the toilet was dirty and one of the cleaning service was so rude.

Soooo beautiful and long beach with nice sand, warm water. Price 24 euros for an umbrella and 3 chairs, in July 2025.

Water quality is good anway its not for snorchling, due to sand visibility in water is low. Beach is clean and fully equipped with important facilities like bar, toilet, place for rest, showers. Like that is forbiden to smoke on beach, anyway you have option to smoke in dedicated places. Issue for me was that this beach is duting season very overcrowded with milions of people, anway in water is enough placem acces to wate is very good for kids, slowly invreasing depth of water. Safety included from beach staff.Lot of guys is selling stuf on beach and yes is warmy here during the season 🙂

Great location, quite large, family friendly, beautiful sea. Lots of restaurants in town, fantastic italian ice cream.

Dirty shallow water. You always have to walk a Long distance to reach any point you need. Africans trying to sell some goods of unknown quality.. I have seen much prettier places to spend holidays. Sorry

Really well-organized beach. I like the system where resort guests have a reserved chair and umbrella for the entire stay. Good Job!!

I just passing Bibione and want to get fast swim, well the water is dirty because of sand that is obvious, so no snorchling. The prices for sun beds are crazy 😀. I guess is good place for family with the Kids.

This zoo is a great place to spend the day and offers a wide variety of animals to see, including capybaras, giraffes, tigers, pumas, and lions. The enclosures are nicely designed, and it’s clear that the animals are well cared for. The layout is easy to follow, so walking around is simple and enjoyable. One of the nice touches is the small bar where you can grab a cold drink or a snack like a sandwich perfect if you need a break. You can also bring your own food and enjoy it at one of the picnic tables, which is really convenient. Overall, it’s a fun and relaxing place to visit, whether you're going with friends, family, or just looking to enjoy a few hours surrounded by animals and nature. Highly recommended if you're looking for a well-kept zoo with a good atmosphere.

Very clean, beautiful zoo. We were in the park for 5 hours. The only downside is no free water fountains (or at least not that we're aware), we paid 80 cent for a liter at a refill station. Other than that animals were out and about and we saw 90% of them very clearly, even the famous snow leopard.

Small but nice zoo with quite many spieces on small territory. Some animals were hidden. Clean toilets, many opportunities to have a rest a many places for children. Nice time to spend when weather doesnt allow visiting the beach.

Well organised park,easy to get around,clean. It's accessible also for strollers and for people in wheelchair. It was thought through. Lots of trees that offer shade and 2 pretty big playgrounds for kids. Animals are well taken care of. The bathrooms are all clean, changing table for babies is also available. The parking is free 100m from the entrance. We enjoyed our day,it was during the week so we were almost alone. The only negative thing is the entrance fee. I believe it really is too expensive. We will come back because it's a great experience and well spent day..

One of the nicest Zoo I ever visited. Animals looked well taken care of and whole Zoo seems well maintained. There are also 2 nice playgrounds for kids. Would recommend for all families.

Nothing special, no big cats to see, we managed to see a tiger briefly, cleanliness for a 10, I recommend it for children from 3 to 6.7 years old, older ones will be bored

Very nice for kids and adults. Zoo is well organised and you should reserve like 3-4h for a visit.

A beautiful square in Piran, with plenty of cafes, restaurants and cute shops around the square. A very large area where children can play safely with a view of the harbor and the sea and the surrounding historical buildings of the old town of Piran. The true spirit of a coastal town!

Gorgeous square, perfect to explore and enjoy the sunshine. Enjoy the cafes and restaurants or explore the cobbled picturesque streets.

Tartini Square (Slovene: Tartinijev trg) is the largest and main town square in Piran, Slovenia. It is named after the famous violinist and composer Giuseppe Tartini, who was born in Piran. The square is a vibrant pedestrian area, surrounded by historic buildings. It serves as a social and cultural hub of Piran, hosting concerts and events, with cafes, restaurants, and shops around its perimeter. The design provides scenic views of the Adriatic Sea and the surrounding hills.

Lovely square with plenty of free parking for motorbikes. The harbour was also very beautiful, sadly in motorbike clothing and 40 degree heat, we didn't stay long but would love to revisit one-day.

Tartini's square in the City of Piran, Slovenia, is a beautiful example of Mediterranean city urban planning that nailed it. People of all ages enjoy spending time there. It is vibrant all day long. Great views - to the marina, the sea, surrounding buildings, monument of Tartini, shops, caffees and restaurants, a lot of benches to just sit and relax while you get amused just by looking at people of all ages doing their thing. It is a real jam for photographers and a great place to make a tone of different selfies.

I had the baklava ice cream and hands down it was the best ice cream I've ever tasted - my partner agreed and he is an ice cream fanatic! Highly recommend, amazing ice cream and lovely friendly service too.

Nothing special. A square with some caffees and restaurants. Okay view, so if you are around it's worth a visit, but I wouldnt travel there just for this purpose.

A cradle of our faith for my country. From here the misionary work went out to the east. Glorious holly place, with a lot of history, beautiful mosaics and old architecture. Cript is amazing with lot of relics.

One of the most important church seats in this part of Italy, also for Slovenia, Austria and Croatia. Basilica is build on the 1. century Roman mosaics, that were covered in 4. century by other level of mosaics. On top of those two layers of mosaics the present church was built. The Bell tower dated from 11. century. The three naval church has leather patriarchal seat. The crypt is full of frescos from life of Jesus and the life of saint Hermagoras and saint Fortunatus. You can admire early and fine early Christian mosaics. I liked the most the one with a turtle and the big one that represents sea with boats and sailers.

The Basilica of Aquileia is a treasure that everyone should visit. The mosaic floor is absolutely stunning, and the space around the Basilica is pleasant and relaxing. The frescoed crypt is also fantastic! Absolutely recommended when passing through the FVG region!

The Basilica is a beautiful piece of architecture. Majestic with a magnificent mosaic floor and ornate wooden roof. Also fantastic is the visit to the archaeological dig area below the Basilica where it is possible to see the early roman mosaic dating back to the first century a.d. The area surrounding the Basilica is also very interesting and kept in order.

Fascinating early Christian basilica. Floor mosaics back to the 5th C.

One of the most beautiful churches ever!

Italy is a country of historical beauties and this Cattedrale is undoubtedly one of them. As soon as one enters the building is immediately overwhelmed by history: the view of the soffit and of the floors, covered by mosaics, is truly breathtaking. When admiring this church you can “touch” the architectural, engineering and artistic ability of our ancestors: these treasures have withstood over a millennium (even more, when considering the original layers dating from B.C.). The building basement is a surprise of mosaics and there it’s really astonishing how, through small tiles, those artists were able to depict amazing subjects, such as animals, faces and various objects. Just a small suggestion: the descriptions of the mosaics made on the handrails, has it is done, is not a very clever solutions, since most of the writings have gone.

Beautiful palace hidden in local area. Visit after lunch in San Daniele for world famous prosciutto. Restore nicely and taking very good care of. Beautiful ceilings and wood doors. The only down side is almost everything in Italian although I tried with audio scripts in English there is much less information than my husband gets in Italian and also some of them are no description as well even in Italian. I was very curious to an object in church, which contain looks like born or something. My husband is from local and he said he never see inside when he was small. So hope to get more attention from people and they can keep it for future. All the staff are very nice and helpful.

My second visit since 2022, glorious as ever. The festival covers a wide range of stalls with great artisan products and incredible collection of plants. We bought a camelia that blossoms through the winter which is unbelievable almost and a fancy variety of cosmos. Can’t wait to plant them already!

A gem worth visiting when in FVG. Villa is “empty” of any original furniture, but hosta many exhibitions. It is free to visit the outside premises and the park behind the villa, where you can find serenity.

I already been here for two concerts. It is amazing, very intimate vibe. Entering a concert here is as easy as it gets. Before you know it, you are already in front of the stage. Be aware, parking can be a bit chaotic, so if you are not from around, I recommend you paying for parking (15 eur approx). I recommend booking parking 5, as getting to it is a lot less chaotic than 3 and 4. Still be there on time, you never know. From any parking, you will have a good 15/20 mins walk to the venue, so allow yourself time. From parking 5, the walk is very nice. Locals place small bier gardens on their gardens so you can have a stop before or after the concert You walk in slowly into the villa and right before you know it, you are there with you fav artist. Enjoy it

We visited the Villa garden while being on a concert and it was a very nice Italian place.

Beautiful villa, and garden behind it. Very easy to find, good parking. Nice visitors center and shop. No dogs allowed in the garden area, but allowed in front of the villa in the open area. Lots of beautiful flowers and statues. Very peaceful area.

At the concerts those that just parked in the field were better off than those of us that paid for the parking. If you want own water, you better have a backpack with bladder. Otherwise beer is not expensive.

It's a must see when visiting Trieste. 500 steps down and 500 up, 11 Celsius, so be prepared (warm clothes, comfy shoes, no sandals). Booking is compulsory, the guided tour was about 1,5 hours long. It was amazing and informative, special thanks to the tour guides. Parking spaces are limited but quite enough.

Very friendly and informative tour guide, whole trip took roughly an hour and we arrived 10 minutes prior as asked. Ticket reservations had to be made by phone, but it was very simple. Cheap for EU members.

Amazing cave. Very easy to reach by car. Perfect for families with children. Our guide was friendly and gave lots of interesting information about the cave. Would recommend this to anyone in the neighborhood of Trieste.

Amazing visit, truly a hidden gem. Would recommend this to anyone being in the neighborhood of Trieste. Far more impressive than any (including the city) of the hot spots nearby.

Amazing gigantic cave. Very easy reachable by car. Perfect for families with children. You can take pictures inside the cave for free. The staff is very friendly and our guide gave us lots of useful and interesting information about the cave. He answered all our questions. It was very nice to cool down after hot day in Trieste.

Great experience!!! Fair price and excelent guided tour in Italian, English and even German! Also option to download the audio guide! Quite a nice nature wonder!

Loved this cave experience! The photos don’t do it justice and the enormity is something you have to experience. The guide was great, she spent plenty of time speaking both Italian and then again in English. She was knowledgeable about the cave. Plenty of photo ops. It’s quite a hike down and back up but totally doable. It’s a cool, wet cave so take a jacket. I did call ahead to make a reservation for that tour about 1 hour ahead of time. The tours start on the hour.

A must see if you visit Gorizia. It was very damaged during the war but they made amazing job. Inside is very good museum, I recomend you get a tablet at the ticket office for virtual guidance. The mideval kitchen is very well preserved. Unfortunatelly the second floor is under reconstruction so we left it for next time.

Wonderful castle dating back to the 12th century. The history of the castle is very interesting, as it changed hands numerous times during the ages, with each owner leaving their own mark. Visited during a rainy day which only added to the atmosphere of the place. There are numerous interesting exhibits, including weapons and musical instruments. The great hall hosts a multimedia presentation on the history of the castle and the surrounding lands. The price of a ticket was 10€ per adult, with tickets for children and senior citizens costing less. The price of admission was well worth it, as the ticket office will also provide tablets on request which will enhance the experience with interesting tidbits of information. This is a must see!

Views are fantastic. We weren't able to go in but the small village adjacent has a church and museum that are very nice to see from the outside. There a several spots you can walk around to see the cityscape. Loved it even without entry.

Good and much needed renovations make it worth the visit. The audioguide wasn't working very well but is included in the price (maybe we got a defected one). Overall very well done and exhaustive.

Nice to spend 1 to 2 hours. Audio info at some spots is available in Italian, Slovenian, German and English.

Lovely old castle. Part being repaired bur with visiting

It is really nice castle, and there is modern audiovisual experiences to move you in the past. So it is definitely worth to visit while in this city. Part of castle is under restoration, so observation deck isn’t available right now. Ticket is 10€🥲

The views are breathtaking, and it’s not too crowded if you start your visit around 10:00am

Beautiful view of the surrounding hills and mountains. Possibility of refreshments at several providers around the church and the path from the gondola to the very top of Višarij. In the small street there are also a few shops with various souvenirs. There is also a church on the hill, which says that this is the only landmark or place where nations unite and do not separate. They are right!

A wonderful, completely different place on the mountain that is definitely worth seeing.

Magical place covered in snow in winter. We loved it!

An amazing place for weekend skiing. Less than two hours from the airport in Ljubljana. You can leave your car at the foot of the mountain at the free parking in Camporosso In Valcanale, where you can also rent a ski equipment. If you are looking for a peaceful quiet place, it is worth staying in one of the three small hotels on the top of mountain. During winter a gondola lift is closed at 16:00. From this time only a small group of hotel guests and service stay on the top. Silence, peace, amazing views. Priceles

The heaven on earth. There are cafes above the mountain where we can eat while enjoying the beautiful view of the mountains. The cable car service makes it easier to reach the top of the mountain. One of the best place for skiing.

Absolutely stunning and beautifull. I went there in the summer and now in the winter and I cant decide what is more beautifull. Its perfect for skiing, walking , enjoying beautifull view and good food. I recommend to everyone to go there in summer and in winter. There is cable car in Camporosso that will take you up. Sill under the impression of that beautiful place.

The hotel has an excellent location right next to the Millennium Express cable car, perfect for hiking and mountain activities. Breakfast and dinner were tasty and offered a good variety of fresh dishes. However, the hotel feels more like a hostel than a 4-star property — cheap partitions, creaky doors, and an inconvenient bathroom layout with the toilet separate from the sink. Staff were mixed: some were very kind and helpful, while others were uninterested or even pushy, insisting on drinks when we declined. The surroundings are disappointing — the access road and parking are unpaved, with no benches outside. Tropolach offers almost no evening entertainment beyond the hotel bar. The worst part was the chaos in the pool and lobby areas. Although we didn’t book an adults-only hotel, children were screaming and playing noisily, especially in the pool, without any supervision to maintain order. Such disorder is unacceptable for a hotel with a not-so-cheap price tag. Overall, great location and food, but the hotel needs better maintenance and management to meet 4-star standards.

Simply the very best, right next to the cable cars and bike/ski rental! Pool and spa area are amazing, food was impeccable and the reception staff were all unbelievably helpful! I could not recommend this hotel enough to everyone!

Having been twice here during this year I can surely say that staying at this hotel was a wonderful experience. It is family friendly, super clean and the food is delicious. There are different hotel related activities you can do so we had a lot of fun. Compliments to Dario at the front desk for being informative and catering to our every need. Also to housekeeping for keeping everything neat and clean. A satisfied guest who will definitely come back again.

This hotel is the best hotel I have been in since 5 years it has lots of fun for everyone the price is really good for this much of activities. The view the walkability everything is good there I recommend this hotel so much for you all you can feel safe there and free

We spent a week here in August as a family of 4. We loved our stay. The hotel has all the comforts, it's clean and the food is very good. We enjoyed the pool, the activities and our kids loved the amazing Karolina and Mathias at the baby club. The position is incredible, right in front of the Millenium Express and close to lakes and bike trails. The rooms are a little small. We stayed in a suite and felt a little cramped. I think a hotel in this category must provide a fridge, particularly in the summer months and in my opinion having the guests pay for purified water at dinner is a bit of a faux pas considering the price. The breakfast and dinner buffets are delicious. The food was fresh and well prepared, in particular the "antipasti" from Giusy. The service provided was very good. We appreciated our server Gabriel. The hotel provided a cake for our daughter's birthday with just a day of notice and it was delicious and it made her happy.

Room was a bit small, a 1,60m bed with aapproximately meter by meter shower,cabinet, small desk with free of charge tea/coffee bags and still and sparkling water. .... small but super great because there is a pre-room to put your shoes, laguage, jackets, skies and there is a ski boot dryer. There is almost a million variations of food for breakfast, and the dinners were great too. Location is top when skiing, because there is gondola like 200m away from the hotel.

Just back from a week in the Arena Franz Ferdinand, what a fantastic hotel! I paid for the slightly larger room which was very comfortable. I loved the storage area at the front of the room. I used it to keep my rucksack, boots and climbing gear away from the main living area. The boot dryer was VERY welcome after a day of torrential rain. The room is a slightly strange set up. From the corridor, you can see through in to the storage area which is also where the toilet is situated. Bare that in mind when you need to go! Also the shower cubicle opens straight out in the bedroom/living area. Fine if you're on your own but if you're travelling with another person, make sure you know them well enough :-) The rooms are very cosy and comfortable, towels were big and fluffy as was the robe. Great to have a kettle in the room and a very good selection of tea, coffee, decaf and herbal tea which, along with a jug of water, was replenished daily. It would have been nice to have a fridge in the room too. I stayed half board. Breakfast was amongst the best I've seen in a hotel. Wide range of coffee (complete with syrups, various cups/mugs, hot and cold milk) cheese & hams, cereal, bead, sausage, omelettes made to order. The juicing machine was an interesting addition too. I had a very early checkout but I had a breakfast of sandwiches and fruits ready for me at reception. Evening meals were listed in the morning news (available at breakfast) They offered a good choice and were always tasty and filling. The plates there are huge! It's a buffet, just help yourself to as much as you like. The waiters take your drink order. There's a good choice and prices are fair. You can then either pay on the night by cash or card or charge everything to your room. Staff are lovely. Attentive, quick and friendly. Some can't speak English too well and I've only a basic level of German, but that was never an issue. And the climbing wall! Wow!! Loved it!! Wish all hotels had one :-) Finally, the +Card is so useful. I used it several times for free access to the cable car and chairlifts. You are given it at check in and it gives free access to transport and various attractions. It makes for a very cheap holiday. So, in summary, a great hotel in a beautiful location!

Two very beautiful lakes with a lot of hiking opportunities. The trails going around the lakes to required sure footedness and good shoes, there are a lot of tree trunks and rocks/lose stones. Dog friendly and several options for food and drinks. You pay €5 for a full day to park.

I visited the Laghi di Fusine recently and it was one of the most peaceful and scenic places I’ve seen. The water is unbelievably clear and emerald-turquoise — you can easily see stones and plant life beneath the surface — and the whole scene is framed by the dramatic, snow-topped Julian Alps (you get sweeping views of Mangart in the background).  The loop trail around the upper lake is an easy, well-marked walk (about 2 km for the circular route) with benches and viewpoints where you can stop and soak it in. In autumn the trees are changing colour, the ducks glide calmly across the water, and the setting feels quietly majestic — a perfect spot to slow down and recharge.

Such an amazing place!!!!! I was realy looking forward to visiting this place and it was worth all the long way. You have to pay to park there, but it is an amazing place to visit. HIGHLY recommended. You feel like in a windows desktop wallpaper.

The landscape is very beautiful and you get two lakes in one visit😍 I can defenetly recomand it!

We planned spontaneously to visit the lake and walk around. It's always beautiful in sunny days. Nice clean water surrounded by trees. From villach it took around 38min drive. There are three parking spots. One is just before the entrance and 2 after the entrace.we paid 5eurro to entrance for our car. We parked in just 50min from entrace. And enjoy nice walk. Even if you have one hour you would manage one round along the lake. If you have more time can visit both lake.

Amazing clear blue lake in the Julian Apls with great views of the mountains and greenery all around. Brilliant view of the Italian side of Mangart. There is an entry charge to visit the lake, it's not much but we didn't know about it. Parking was easy by the side of the road next to the lake. There toilets and cafés around the lake. The views are amazing. You cannot swim in the lake!! We didn't know and there are no signs saying no swimming. We had 2 police officer type people telling us and a few others to get out of the lake, luckily they were really polite and understanding so they informed us about the no swimming rule and said it's ok this time as it was the first time. We just saw 2 other people in the lake swimming so thought it was ok. You can rest a row boat and row on the lake which is a good option. The rowing boats were pretty but made of metal which didn't feel right so we didn't do that. Good for a stop over if you are in Bovec.

It is a very very very beautiful and peaceful place!!! I took a train from Trieste to Tarvisio Boscoverde and walked along the bike paths to the lake!!! Almost like 10km!! Next time I’ll try with the bike! And I thought it’s forbidden to swim in the lake, but yes you can!!! I came for the NO BORDER MUSIC FESTIVAL! If you love nature, hiking, biking, and music, 100% recommended to come!! You won’t regret! But maybe bring some water with you, because the water from the fountain is not drinkable.

You can't understand the lady who is speaking in English, actually translating the other one. But she's adorable :) the show itself is well handled and you can see they treat those animals with kindness. The negative thing is coffee (really bad) in the restaurant near the entrance,expensive souvenirs (7€ for a magnet) and the parking is way down the road so you have to walk UP HILL for 10min to reach the castle. Overall, great to see in person those magnificent birds of pray. We were amazed.

Breathtaking atmosphere and view.. problem with my visit was that we were a big group with optimized price and therefore the restaurant experience seems to suffer .. the plates were quite plain with good but not exceptional taste and the people were quite harsh - some of the statements even unfriendly.. I guess if it would have been a dinner for two with less monetary restrictions the whole experience would have been mega..

Found this gem while driving from Austria to Italy. We almost got lost after getting off the highway, but once we got our bearings, it was a breeze. Once there, if available, you can park right up to the castle. Otherwise, just walk up the steep hill (15 minutes). The grounds are good enough, but the birds of pray displays and demonstration were a definitely 10/10!. Food around the place was ok, but the people working everywhere were so nice. A must-stop to see!!!

Eagle show it was brilliant....german and english must do. Ideal for families. Food very good.

Nice one day family trip. The bird show is something special, but it is good to know german, because there is not enough english speak. Beware of summer heat, you can get fried up in the arena. It is ynder open sky. No roof or shadow at all. If you are regarding that it's a interesting place with astonishing view.

Parking is 2,5 Euros per day and you can see beautiful old castle and lovely Affenberge. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The food was delicious at the restaurant and the views were incredible.More than worth it to venture out and go see. The drive just to get to the castle is worth just taking the trip. There ia parking at the very top of the mountain so your only option isn't just at the very bottom. Its worth checking out. If you do decide to park at the bottom. Its quite the journey making it up that steep graded road about 1/2 Km to the top.

Very popular for a reason as there are numerous interconnected slopes and fast ski lifts. It is often overcrowded unfortunately. Parking lot is free of charge. Enjoy!

Big ski area, ski slopes for everyone, good connection between the slopes and lifts/cable cars, high enough for spring skiing. Unfortunately a lot of people even in working days and too many beginners on red slopes in northern part of resort. Too few restaurants, especially smaller and cozy places are missing.

The ski area offers approximately 100km of mostly gentle slopes and breathtaking panoramic views, perfect for beginners and intermediates. The area usually has a lot of snow, and due to its altitude and position, it is very snow-reliable. It is easily accessible by excellent and very fast roads (from both sides). Near the ski lifts, there are 7 free parking lots. The lift infrastructure is excellent – the ski area is well-connected with mostly new and fast lifts, some even with heated seats, and there are usually minimal or no wait times in lines. There are many huts to choose from; those on the edges of the ski area are usually less crowded and have lower prices. As a downside, I would only mention the poor condition of the slopes in the lower areas where multiple slopes converge at the lifts (this can happen relatively quickly depending on conditions and the number of skiers) and the limited number of longer ski runs for more experienced skiers. All in all, I think the ski area is definitely worth a visit and has a reasonably priced ski pass for what it offers.

A wonderful place full of snow throughout the season, even now when the snow is dwindling throughout the Alps, Obertauern is opened all the way up to late spring. So fun 🍀

A very famous ski resort in Europe, thus expect lots of tourists during weekends and vacation. It's very pricy for accommodation and food in the restaurants just due to its name. Quality of course doesn't keep up with either name or price. The slopes are all well prepared and broad. The length is short though, on average it's a beginner's resort in terms of slope difficulty. Only about 3 pistes are a bit more demanding (7er). Nevertheless recommendable. Keep in mind this is an artificial tourist village only built for skiing during winter. In summer 90% of the village are usually closed.

Easily accessible. The connection of skilifts is a little chaotic, or at least I wasn't always able to read the map properly. We got a free buff with each ticket which was nice :)

Great place to ski, great food options. Lots of sunny days and lots of snow.

Really feeling like flying with both a fantastic view and some thrill. Great experience and very competent operators.

Looks more scary than it is. Anyway I can cordialy recommend this adrenalín which is worth of money. Hidden benefit is the bus ride up the station. The driver is crazy but skilled enough to make you wet while driving up almost on the edge of the road 😎

Must try experience. First timer. Didn't have time to look around during the fly. To exciting, adrenaline high,tiers in my eyes ( glasses recommended). Would go second time for sure. More relaxed now. My equipment was put by the instructor the wrong way . Noticed just before my fly. Double check as only one instructor did the job for 20 people. Staff is nice and polite with adults and children.

It was fun but, I wasn't allowed to ride with the flying coaster because of overweight, even so I didn't get any refund. There is no possibility to buy tickets on site, you can only book online. What if you don't have any scale in your hotel room? I payed 26 euro more for nothing. I think it's not a customer friendly service.

The experience was absolutely amazing, excellent, and fun! At first, I only bought the Zipline ticket and skipped the Flying Coaster, but once I got there and started enjoying it so much, I decided to go for the full experience and paid for the Flying Coaster at the check-in counter. All the staff were extremely kind, helpful, and explained everything clearly. However, the older lady at the exit (responsible for the photos) was quite rude. When we asked her about our photos because we wanted to print them, she told us to go outside, check the screen, and come back with the number. When I returned and said I couldn’t find our photo, she was very unfriendly and said, “I don’t know your photo number, and I don’t have time to look for it!” Aside from this one staff member, the entire experience was wonderful and definitely worth it.

When entering the web site they put at the end on the main page, after! The purchase button that there's a weight limit. A normal person will never see this. We just lost a ton of money and precious time. Also the lady at the counter was no where close to being understanding. These guys are not worth your money

Zipline is great adventure. Strongly recommended. It looks more terrifying than it is in reality when you are on the ride. The roller coaster after that is terrible however. I advise against it. It pulls you with force into unpredictable directions and you need all your arms to counter it. However the kids liked it.

What a great experience. The tour is very entertaining with a lot of facts, fun and adventure. You have to walk a fair amount of stairs. Visitors receive special clothes and can learn a lot about salt in general and about the process of the extraction as well. In the price of 43€ per person is included also the viewpoint, mine tour both in English and Deutsch, slides and a funicular ride in both directions. I totally recommend it! It is really worth it.

Salzwelten Hallstatt & Shop @ Hallstatt 🧂⛏️🇦🇹 🗓️ Visited: Saturday, 9 AM I made an online reservation for the Salzwelten Hallstatt tour and arrived early for the 9 AM slot—an excellent choice, as the morning was quieter and more relaxed. The visit begins with a scenic funicular ride up the hillside, giving beautiful lake views before reaching the mine entrance. The guided tour takes you deep into the historic salt tunnels, past centuries-old wooden pipelines, mining tools, and fascinating multimedia displays. Highlights included sliding down the traditional wooden miners’ slides and seeing the sparkling underground salt lake—absolutely magical. The mix of history, geology, and interactive fun made it a truly memorable experience. After the tour, I browsed the Salzwelten Shop for local gifts—gourmet Hallstatt salt, salt-infused chocolates, cosmetics, and decorative souvenirs. Everything felt unique and tied to the village’s heritage. 💡 The whole tour is worth the price! An absolute must-try if you’re visiting Hallstatt. 🧭 Tip: Book online in advance and go in the morning for a calmer, more spacious experience during the tour.

It is truly a very unique experience. You get to see how salt was extracted thousand years ago, and how it is being extracted nowadays. Furthermore, the guides are very experienced giving very important information about all the places you get to see, while large wooden slides are available for some fun.

Salzwelten Hallstatt is a unique and fascinating attraction that takes you deep into the ancient salt mines. The tour is both fun and educational, offering a hands-on experience of the history and craft of salt mining. The site is well-preserved, and the guides are knowledgeable and engaging, making the visit truly eye-opening. Combined with the stunning beauty of Hallstatt itself, Salzwelten adds a rich cultural layer to your trip. It’s highly recommended for families and anyone interested in history and culture.

Super fun experience for all who are visiting hallstatt! Tickets and reservation not available online, so u need to purchase them from the base funicular station. The staff will inform you when is the next tour starting, so you just gotta head up in advance via the funicular (which was pretty fast). Each tour is about 43 pax so make sure to queue or plan ahead! i thought that the group size was too big as even though the facilities inside could accomodate this group, there was a lot of unnecessary waiting around and people at the back could not hear what the guide was saying at each station, despite her already close to shouting. The cave was huge, but the time to explore or take photos at each station is very short. The staff will switch off the light within 5mins and people at the back usually dont get much chances to take pics by the time we reach the station. However, the caves were still pretty cool and we really enjoyed the 2 slides! We also got to take a train out of the salt mine via a really narrow tunnel and that was exhilarating. Overall the tour was about 1 and a half hours. The last tour is at 3.40pm, which means u can still catch the last funicular down after you complete the tour.

The tour was a great experience with lots of fun parts. The tour included fun slides and videos. We received special clothing to safely slide down the rides. The tour starts deep into the mine, where they explain the history of the mine and how they extract the salt. We had a great guide called Jakob, making the tour not only informative but also entertaining. However, the light show was an utter disaster- I could have made better. In addition the pricing what a little expensive.

It isn’t a cheap trip - but overall, I am glad we visited the Hallstatt Salt Mine. You have to dress in the protective clothing of the salt miners before you start the tour and backpacks must be left in lockers and reclaimed at the tour’s end. The tour itself took around an hour. You get to ride on two wooden miners’ slides during the trip which is good fun. At the second slide, your speed is recorded as you pass the camera positioned to catch all the fun. We managed to clock up only a miserable 11 kilometres per hour compared to our guide’s winning score of 28.6 kilometres per hour. You also get to ride on the miners’ train back at the end which makes a nice finale. Inside the cave, it is interesting to see the salt deposits up close. Various informative movies are played as you walk through the mine and you get a good feel for the 7,000 year history of salt mining in this part of Austria. Salt is a good preservative, so the Salt Mine is an archeological treasure trove. Towards the end of the tour, you get to see the oldest European evidence of a wooden staircase. Check opening times before you visit as the site is very popular, the only access is via the funicular and numbers are strictly limited. You need to allow 3 hours or so for the whole trip.

Very nice fortress overlooking the city of Salzburg. You get some magnificent view from up there. You also have the opportunity to got to the top of the fortress and get a full 360 degree view of the region. They have some nice museums and displays inside the fortress. Definitely worth it to spend some good amount of time. Even if you are here for short time, it would recommend 1.5hr just to walk through the entire area.

Bought the entrance and funicular train ticket and it's a enjoyable trip up the hill to the castle. Plenty of stuff to see in the fortress and also great view of Salzburg city from the top of the castle. Really beautiful scenery and we don't want to leave but had to rush to find the train station as we need to catch the 12pm Hallstatt tour.

We visited the Fortress Hohensalzburg and had a memorable experience. We didn’t know about the funicular to go up, so we walked all the way — a great cardio workout and a nice way to enjoy the surroundings. 🏰 The fortress itself is beautiful and very well preserved, offering a fascinating glimpse into Salzburg’s history. The museum inside is truly impressive, with excellent exhibits that make the visit even more enriching. 🌄 The highlight, however, is the breathtaking view from the top. Looking out over Salzburg and the surrounding mountains is simply unforgettable. ✅ Overall, Fortress Hohensalzburg is a must-see attraction in Salzburg. Whether you take the funicular or walk up, the combination of history, architecture, and stunning scenery makes it well worth the visit.

Truly beautiful, must see spot in Salzburg. Definitely recommend the panaromic view from the fortress tower. We unfortunately hadn’t visited neither the museum nor the armory, but we enjoyed it anyway. We really appreciated the stand where we could get for ourselves some Glühwein and simply enjoy the beautiful night view.

We thought there would be more spaces that were open for tours, but the tour was still good. The restaurant in the fortress was great! Service was great as well as the food and we enjoyed as much as we could eat as the portion sizes were large.

This is a fascinating site. There are many things to see in this historic place. Be prepared for some step climbing to get the very best views. We enjoyed learning all the history about the Fortress. There are rooms full of interesting items dating from ancient times to modern life.

Amazing castle and exhibition. Everything is modern, interactive and multisensory. Truly a nice example of the basic of how exhibitions today should look like. Plus the ticket's price is also very okay. 100% recommend buying tickets in advance though, there was a super long queue when buying on the spot.

Beautiful cathedral!! Entrance fee is a modest 5 Euros. Once inside be sure to check out the underground in the far back left (facing the altar). Also there’s a giant metal structure where Mozart was baptized as a child (see in my photos)

Beautiful large cathedral with high ceiling and open space. We got lucky as a small group of musicians were performing which allowed the music to echo throughout the cathedral which made for a peaceful ambiance. I would highly recommend visiting this place.

Just amazing! The Cathedral has a unique architecture and we also booked ourselves for an organ concert. Every day at noonafter the 12 o'clock bells there is an organ concert. It's preferable you book your place. The player changed the organs and during half hour he played different pieces to three different organs. A must do activity in Salzburg.

Nice cathedral and need 5 euro entrance ticket. We were here on the first day of Rupertikirtag festival, so the stalls and other activities are just starting to kick off the festivities. From here we walk to the Festung Hohensalzburg gate to buy the cable car ticket.

The Salzburg Cathedral is a breathtaking Baroque masterpiece in the heart of the Old Town. Its grand façade, elegant dome, and beautifully decorated interior create a peaceful and inspiring atmosphere. The cathedral’s historic organ, once played by Mozart, and its stunning frescoes make it a true cultural gem. Surrounded by the charming Domplatz and views of the Hohensalzburg Fortress, it’s a must-see landmark that perfectly captures Salzburg’s beauty and history.

Totally worth the time to collect oneself inside out of the cold for a few private moments in prayer. An amazing dome and frescos are amazing showing of the Passion of Christ. - Jesus, show me the path of life!

An absolutely beautiful church! This stands out from many of the other churches we’d seen because of the stunning black and white design that makes the paintings pop. The organ was also beautiful. There is an entrance fee but the discount with the Salzburg card brings it down to €3.5 per person.

What a gorgeous little town. Make sure you have cash!!!!!! The ferry is CASH ONLY. And most restaurants are cash only. Very few spots will take a card. There are ATMs, but obviously it will cost you a little bit more than being prepared. I recommend this town more as a day trip, not a place I’d want to stay overnight.

An absolute must visit, picturesque and simply stunning town. The vibe and atmosphere is to die for. Crowded during early to mid-afternoon, but definitely worth a visit despite few hours train ride (you get to enjoy beautiful Austrian countryside though).

This beautiful place was in our "must visit" list. Full of beautiness. Breathtakingly beautiful nature, many restaurants/cafes. Just by sitting and watching you already feel calmness, you loose your stress. Everything was perfect, highly recommend all to visit this heavenly place. Just costs are bit high, and I think it's normal for such a touristic place.

A breathtaking place; it encapsulates all the best bits of Austria in one place. Parking is a nightmare - best to park in Obertraun on the opposite side of the lake and take the little ferry boat. It is electric and suits the stillness of the lake perfectly

Marktplatz @ Hallstatt 🏘️⛰️🇦🇹 📍 Historic Town Center The Marktplatz is the charming heart of Hallstatt—a postcard-perfect square surrounded by pastel-colored houses, flower-decked balconies, cafés, and small shops selling local crafts and souvenirs. In the middle stands an elegant fountain, framed by seasonal blooms and overlooked by the dramatic alpine backdrop. 📸✨ We decided to stay in Hallstatt for 2 nights, which allowed us to enjoy the square at different times of day—quiet in the early mornings, lively by midday, and softly lit in the evenings. Staying overnight meant we could explore without the heavy day-trip crowds and enjoy peaceful strolls through the cobblestone lanes. From Marktplatz, it’s easy to wander down to the lakefront or up to hillside viewpoints, with plenty of charming side streets to discover along the way. 🧭 Tip: If you’re staying overnight, take an evening walk around the square after dinner—it’s beautifully lit, and you’ll have the place almost to yourself.

It's a must visit when you travel to Austria! Hallstatt is a heaven on earth, a small town not too near to Austria but worths to visit… Hallstatt is known for its production of salt, dating back to prehistoric times, and gave its name to the Hallstatt culture, the archaeological culture linked to Proto-Celtic and early Celtic people of the Early Iron Age in Europe, c. 800–450 BC.

I like it here. It’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Hallstatt, a World Heritage site, is truly stunning.

The gardens are magnificent. Symmetry and colors are combined in beautiful compositions. Access to the gardens is free. The palace itself is also free, but there is nothing to see. Access is only to the staircase, which is magnificent, but it is disappointing that there is no access to the halls. We only managed to peek into one.

It's a really beautiful and popular place in Salzburg that everyone have to see. The gardens are stunning and you can enjoy sitting around and taking photos. There are also classical music concerts there, which are definitely a must-see if you love this genre!

Even in late October, without all the flowers, the gardens are well kept and beautiful. I’m a huge fan of the dwarf garden! Very fun, though not PC (bc history is not PC) statues in there! Worth a walk through and FREE. The only part of the palace that was accessible was the marble staircase area—I believe it had a real name. Pretty, but the gardens are better!

Beautiful palace with stunning gardens. Easy to walk around and free to enter. The views with the flowers, statues, and Salzburg backdrop are picture-perfect. Peaceful spot to relax, take photos, or just enjoy the scenery. Great for a short, calming visit.

Nice walk around the gardens with the memorable views of the Sound of Music. There were three weddings going on at the same time. Seems the palace was closed for visitors today. Loaded with tourists parties there for the same reason as us no doubt.

Huge garden with fountain, it's a pity we visited there in winter, I didn't see the red flowers 💐chill vibe, people walk around enjoying quiet moments

Even though it was rainy a lot, the sculptures at the outskirts of the palace and the gardens inside were pretty. The cobblestone ground was a bit swampy and uncomfortable to walk, but anyway I bet it'd be fascinating to revisit there on sunny days.

Unique cogwheel railway to fantastic mountain-top views. Cafe and restaurant at the top and also a kiosk (cash only, very reasonable). Trains are booked so that everyone had a seat - afternoon trains were fully unbooked, so maybe go up later if you want to avoid the crowds.

👍🏻 Great experience and I think it is the best option compared to other trains in Austria. 👍🏻 The train route up and down is beautiful, allowing you to see the entire Wolfgang Lake. 👍🏻 Upon reaching the summit we were able to see very impressive views of Wolfgang Lake and other nearby lakes. ⚠️ It takes 35 minutes for the train to climb to the top and also descend the same time 35 minutes. ⚠️ In my opinion the train is a great experience for children more than adults. ⚠️ There is an overpriced adult ticket for €56 while the child ticket is €17 We request those in charge of the train management to reduce the price of the adult ticket to not exceed €35 The price is a bit reasonable. ⚠️ It is preferable to book tickets at the counter because there are discount offers because I booked online and found out that I have a discount card from the hotel, but I did not benefit from it because I actually paid. ⚠️ Restaurants and toilets are available on top. ⚠️ Always try to sit on the side overlooking Lake Wolfgang. ⚠️ Scan the ticket code on the parking lot when the final price appears and you will get a special discount, I know this by chance from the counter ticket and they don't tell anyone about it. ⚠️ Don't rush down from the top as many do, try to spend an hour to an hour and a half there to have fun and walk & For hiking lovers, I recommend staying from two to two and a half hours because there is a very beautiful and exciting trail on the edge of the mountain. ⚠️ Electronic Portals For going up and down programmed on the time set so it is not optional and you should pay attention to it. ⚠️ The location of the station is located in the Wolfgang Center and you can enjoy a walking tour that will have great views and many options of cafes and restaurants.

The trip was really great! 🌄 We bought train tickets and went up, stopping at the first station to hike to the top (about an hour’s walk). The trail is quite challenging and better suited for experienced hikers, but the views along the way are absolutely stunning. At the summit, there are breathtaking views and a nice restaurant, though a bit pricey. The place is suitable for families, but not if you plan to stop halfway and hike. We took a return ticket after about 3 hours – that’s a bit long if you’re not doing the hike, so keep that in mind. The attraction itself is quite expensive, but it’s definitely a special experience worth doing once.

Longest cog railway in Austria. And needed during the ride up the mountains. Very well maintained. Nice hall for the tickets. The ladies at the counter were patient n the condescending manner, possibly with gritted teeth. The website is very good with options. However you need to be very precise with when you want to travel and come back which we couldn’t do as we were driving and wanted to flexible. Anyway don’t let my comments detract from you not taking this railway through beautiful countryside. I did meet someone at the top whom had walked up….. this would have been great too but the knees

Very nice memories on old travels by train. Beautiful views on lakes during travel up to hill. It is better to be here early to book appropriate time. Parking are various and expensive close to starting station. Everything is it unforgettable.

Perfect! 30 min. Up and 30 min.down. Around station lot of parking, I found 4 € /24 h !👍On Schafberg top restaurant , short trek ...Ticket.you can buy on internet , be ready with time for train top/ down , limited train capacity

Easy to book, slow but fun ride with views. Very crowded and hot on warm days. No shade on top except restaurant. Bathrooms on top and bottom. Bottom bathroom was clean.

Was hesitant to visit due to the history, but so glad I decided to. They have done a wonderful job paying homage to the lives of the people lost. Very educational experiance.

Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for the guidance, explanations and tour we received from Ms. Angelica. It was a stunning experience by any measure. These days, two years after the October 7th event in Israel, and 80 years after the Holocaust, and the world has learned nothing.

Very sombre experience, hard to imagine how one human can be so terribly cruel to another. Sad that the prisoner thought it was easier to take their own lives by jumping onto rocks in the quarry, below the camp. Eerie feeling about the place, but so many stories to hear.

One of the most harrowing experiences of my life - coming face to face with the total rupture of humanity and watching the world explode with the same hate again was almost too much to handle. But the survivors and their families, and their optimism, brings hope!

Was here for the 80th anniversary commemoration for the liberation of the camp, and on a separate occasion, I visited the museum and grounds. The museum is well put together and the exhibits are informative and comprehensive. I was here for several hours but I felt like it wasn't enough to truly absorb everything. The camp is located near a town by the same name, and it always makes me unsettled when I think about how many people lived in such close proximity to the camp during the war, and just kept on with their lives, ignoring the atrocities being committed just a few kilometers away. The town still exists today and is populated. I can't imagine living anywhere near this place, especially given that most of the Mauthausen inhabitants are probably descendants of Nazis.

Very educational and a must visit to learn about the Holocaust victims and history of it. I grew up nearby so seen it during school time already, but the museum and all description have been enhanced by a lot. Also for english speakers no problem as all is also described in English and there is an app with audio guides as well in multiple languages, so everyone can visit and learn about this dark time of the history.

Everybody needs to visit these concentration camps. Visited while cycle touring the Danube

"A Medieval Gem with Breathtaking Views" The Český Krumlov Castle is truly one of the most enchanting places in the Czech Republic. The combination of medieval fortress, Renaissance and Baroque architecture, and the charming old town below makes it feel like stepping back in time. The castle grounds are vast and full of surprises — from courtyards and historic halls to the beautiful castle tower with its colorful facade. Climbing the tower is absolutely worth it for the panoramic view over Český Krumlov’s red rooftops and winding river — it’s picture-perfect. The castle gardens are also lovely for a peaceful stroll, especially in spring and summer. Guided tours of the interior give fascinating insight into the history of the noble families who lived here, and the preservation of the rooms is impressive. Even if you don’t take a tour, just wandering the grounds and soaking up the atmosphere is an unforgettable experience. A must-visit when in South Bohemia — magical, historic, and full of charm.

Cesky Krumlov it is the most romantic place in the Czech Republic, you can visit it both in summer and winter during the holidays. The castle is huge and offers a great view of the city. On the waterfront there are many very picturesque restaurants where you can eat well.

A large castle, that was built originally in the early 1300's and later rebuilt in renessaince ans baroque styles. Really beautiful and amazing, the only negative thing is that you have to buy several tickets if you want to see everything, as there is no combined ticket. You can visit the courtyards for free. The museum and the tower is possible to visit without guide but to the rooms of the castle there are only guided rooms - but definitely worth going. Great views to the town from the tower! Don't miss this while in town!

A beautiful gem of the Czech Republic. We fell in love with this city at first sight. It's so much fun to walk around its picturesque streets, sail on the river and just feel like you're in a magical fairy tale.

A beautiful and interesting castle in the Czech Republic. It has a long history that stimulates my curiosity, too. If Prague is one of the most popular places to visit in the Czech Republic, then this place might be the most beautiful and impressive.

If anything, the views of the town are what I would go back for again. Just surreal. Makes you think about how life was for the citizens of those days. The air is filled with the moisture and freshness of the running river; not to mention the sound of it flowing. Magical place. Go early in the morning, before the tour buses from Prague arrive.

Well worth a visit to this UNESCO site. Some good restaurants and good beer too all at reasonable prices. Be prepared for some long walks but there is plenty to see especially the castle built into the rock. Some splendid views too. However, I was not impressed by the bears kept in a pit!

A beautiful place with an amazing view from the top of the tower, you can see the whole center of Cesky Krumlov and the castle with it's tower from a different angle. Timber rafts have been an important part of Cesky Krumlov’s history, having transported primarily materials in the past and now passengers. The small timber rafting museum is situated inside of St. Josh Church and is an incredible experience to visit.

This nice-looking church fits very well into the local romantic landscape.

(Translated by Google) Hospital for the sick and poor with the church of St. Jošta was founded around 1330 by Peter I of Rožmberk. In the years 1594-1599, the original church was rebuilt by the architect Dominik Cometta and a new tower was built at the same time. The new church was dedicated to the Holy Trinity and Petr Vok dedicated it to Krumlov Protestants. Originally, he planned to build a family tomb in the church, but in the end it failed and Petr Vok was buried in the family tomb in the monastery in Vyšší Brod. After his death, the church was returned to the Catholics and rededicated in the name of St. Still. In 1765, the tower was still modified in the Baroque style, but already in 1788, as part of the reforms of Emperor Joseph II. canceled and gradually rebuilt into a residential building. The hospital existed here until 1922. Today, the view is accessible from the church tower corridor, and even though the building is located lower than the castle tower, it is worth climbing the stairs - you have the Lateran, the Inner City, Lazebnický bridge, Parkán, as well as the southern part of the castle complex, as if in the palm of your hand.

Nový kostel byl zasvěcen Nejsvětější Trojici a Petr Vok jej věnoval krumlovským protestantům. Původně plánoval vybudovat v kostele rodinnou hrobku, z toho ale nakonec sešlo a Petr Vok byl pohřben v rodinné hrobce v klášteře ve Vyšším Brodě. Po jeho smrti byl kostel navrácen katolíkům a znovu vysvěcen ve jménu sv. Jošta. V roce 1765 byla ještě barokně upravena věž, ale už v roce 1788 byl kostel v rámci reforem císaře Josefa II. zrušen a postupně přestavěn na obytný dům. Špitál tu existoval až do roku 1922. Dnes je přístupná vyhlídka z ochozu kostelní věže a i když je stavba umístěna níže než zámecká věž, stojí za to vystoupat schodiště - jako na dlani máte Latrán, Vnitřní město, Lazebnický most, Parkán, ale i jižní část zámeckého komplexu.

(Translated by Google) Church of St. Jošta is located in the historic center of Český Krumlov, not far from the Vltava River and the castle grounds. It was founded in the 14th century as part of a hospital for the sick and pilgrims, which was established by the Rosenberg family. Originally a Gothic building, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 18th century. After the church was abolished in 1787 by Josef II. the building served various purposes – as a theater, apartments or a museum. The church has preserved many original architectural elements, including a tower with a baroque miner. Church of St. Jošta is a unique example of the transformation of a sacred building into a cultural space and reminds of the rich history and changing functions of historical buildings in the center of Český Krumlov. (Original) Kostel sv. Jošta se nachází v historickém centru Českého Krumlova, nedaleko Vltavy a zámeckého areálu. Byl založen ve 14. století jako součást špitálu pro nemocné a poutníky, který zřídil rod Rožmberků. Původně gotická stavba byla v 18. století přestavěna v barokním stylu. Po zrušení kostela v roce 1787 Josefem II. sloužil objekt různým účelům – jako divadlo, byty nebo muzeum. Kostel si zachoval mnoho původních architektonických prvků, včetně věže s barokní bání. Kostel sv. Jošta je unikátní ukázkou proměny sakrální stavby v kulturní prostor a připomíná bohatou historii a měnící se funkce historických budov v centru Českého Krumlova.

(Translated by Google) While visiting Český Krumlov, you will come across the St. Jost Church, which attracts attention with its historical texture, on the banks of the Vltava River. Built in the 14th century, this structure was used as a chapel attached to the castle hospital. It was later converted into a church and named after St. Jost, who was considered the protector of travelers and patients in the Middle Ages. It is not an active church today; its interior is generally closed to visitors, but its exterior architecture and location are quite impressive. This small but historical structure, built with a combination of Gothic and Baroque architecture, is definitely worth seeing, even though it is overshadowed by the more well-known tourist attractions in the city. There is a wonderful view from right in front of the church, where you can fit the castle tower, the Vltava River and the red-roofed houses of the town into the same frame. With the light in the early morning or close to sunset, this area turns into a postcard. (Original) Český Krumlov’u gezerken Vltava Nehri kıyısında, tarihi dokusuyla dikkat çeken St. Jost Kilisesi karşınıza çıkacak. 14. yüzyılda inşa edilen bu yapı, zamanında şato hastanesine bağlı bir şapel olarak kullanılmış. Daha sonra kiliseye dönüştürülmüş ve adını, Orta Çağ’da yolcuların ve hastaların koruyucusu kabul edilen Aziz Jost’tan almış. Bugün aktif bir kilise değil; içi ziyarete genellikle kapalı, ancak dış mimarisi ve bulunduğu konum oldukça etkileyici. Gotik ve barok mimarinin birleşimiyle yapılmış bu küçük ama tarihi yapı, şehirdeki daha bilinen turistik yerlerin gölgesinde kalsa da kesinlikle görülmeye değer. Kilisenin hemen önünden şato kulesi, Vltava Nehri ve kasabanın kırmızı çatılı evlerini aynı kareye sığdırabileceğiniz harika bir manzara var. Sabah erken saatlerde veya gün batımına yakın ışıkla birlikte bu alan adeta bir kartpostala dönüşüyor.

The biggest and most wonderful castle in Czech Republic. In a country with more than 2000 castles, this one surpasses them all in terms of interiors and architectural style. It is also well furnished. You can go up on foot, or by a little train, from the parking, if you want some fun.

Hluboká Castle is an absolutely stunning neo-Gothic chateau that feels like something out of a fairytale. Surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens and perched above the Vltava River, the setting is breathtaking. The interiors are richly decorated, showcasing exquisite woodwork, historic furnishings, and artwork that reflect the grandeur of the Schwarzenberg family who once lived here. It's unfortunate that photography is not allowed inside, as the rooms are truly impressive and worth remembering. Still, the guided tour provides fascinating insights, and the castle itself is a must-visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, or just a beautiful .

A Neo-Gothic Fairytale Masterpiece! Absolutely Breathtaking. Hluboká is an incredibly stunning castle that truly lives up to its "fairytale" reputation. The exterior, inspired by Windsor Castle, is immaculate and the white architecture against the backdrop of the park is simply breathtaking. The Interior Tour: I highly recommend taking a guided tour to see the luxurious interiors. The rooms are a magnificent display of aristocratic wealth—from the intricate wood carving and grand staircases to the priceless art and Murano chandeliers. A real journey into the 19th-century noble life. Grounds: The surrounding English Park and gardens are massive and perfect for a relaxing stroll, offering different beautiful views of the chateau from every angle. Tip: Be aware that photography is usually forbidden inside the castle, but the outside views make up for it! Get there early or book your tour tickets online, as it is very popular. A must-see in South Bohemia!

A beautifully maintained 13th century Neo Gothic Chateau in South Bomehia overlooking the forests, town and Vltara River. All the rooms have been preserved to their original state. It was considered a hunting retreat for the royal families so if you're a big animal lover this one may not be for you as all the open rooms are adorned with many many animal trophies. It was considered very modern in its time as they had electricity and modern toilets as far back as the 1920's. Its huge and beautifully architectured and maintained. Worth a visit

Visited the fairy-tale beauty of Hluboká Castle (Hluboká nad Vltavou), one of the most stunning castles in the Czech Republic. Located near České Budějovice in South Bohemia, this neo-Gothic masterpiece is often compared to Windsor Castle in England. With its breathtaking architecture, beautiful gardens, and rich history, Hluboká is a must-visit destination for travelers exploring Europe.

Worth the detour this is a gorgeous unique castle with ties to powerful families in Europe. In October it was off season so two wings were closed to the public and since it was raining so was the tower. Leaving only one wing to visit which was unfortunate. You can also only visit with a guided tour, our guide was funny and knowledgeable. Would recommend!

Incredible but english tour guide could use more people skills. He wouldn't answer any group questions about the castle or royalty ... Can't understand why. The catle itslef is worth a detour! Highly recomand!

Visiting Konopiště Castle was absolutely wonderful. The interior tour was fascinating, with room after room full of history and interesting trinkets. There’s so much to see. I was especially surprised to see an elevator inside such an old castle. Just be aware: the tours are only available in Czech, however there's audio guides available in English, German, and some other languages. The on-site chocolate shop was a sweet surprise. The variety of chocolates was impressive, and everything I tried was absolutely delicious. I only wish I could have sampled them all! Sadly the rose garden was not yet in bloom during our visit, but I'm very sure it is a sight to be seen. The presence of so many peacocks wandering the grounds added a magical touch. A peaceful walk around the nearby lake was the perfect way to end the visit—calm, scenic, and incredibly relaxing. All in all, Konopiště Castle is a must see. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. It blends rich history, natural beauty, and charming surprises.

Fairy-tale like castle and adjacent grounds with 3 excellent tours; note that each is charged separately and there is an option to get an audio guide in English. During the Franz/Sophie private apartment tour you'll be able to see a set of truly touching drawings made by their daughter showing the alegory of the assassination - taking photos is forbidden and unfortunately I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet. There is also a temporary exibition of historical clothing of the nobility with an incredible guide.

A visit to Konopiště castle will bring you back in time to the beginning of the 20th century when it belonged to the heir to the Habsburg throne. He and his family lived in splendid seclusion oblivious to what the future holds for them. You have a choice from several tours out of which the one through the private chambers of the family is as close as you can get to the royals of that time.

There are 4 tours at different hours. You need more time to see at least 2 of them. The castle is well maintained. have beautiful views. Also there are deers, peacocks and bear (that was somewhere inside). No photos allowed inside of this castle!

Visited the castle grounds on a weekend. Beautiful trails and amazing views. The grounds are free entry. Parking is 100 crowns whole day and very big!

Wow! Just WOW! It's simply impossible to see everything in one tour. That's why there are 4 different routes for sightseeing tours. Unfortunately, we were only able to visit tour 2. But I haven't seen so many medieval weapons and everything else in a long time. Unfortunately, you can't take pictures inside. Come and see! You definitely won't regret it! Parking for a day costs 100 CZK, which is 4 euros. There are also many interesting things around the castle, such as a park, a rose garden, a mini zoo

The castle is interesting both from the outside and inside. The tours are interesting, we especially liked the hall of arms. There is also a botanical garden where you can have a very nice walk, so I recommend coming in the warm season.
