Curonian Spit
Mentioned on
Peninsula
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Curonian Spit, a 98-km sandspit along the Baltic Sea, is a popular holiday destination known for its beaches and resort towns. The area offers scenic cycling routes through pine forests, medieval castles, and deserted beaches. Nida, famous for its amber jewelry and home to the iconic Parnidis dune, provides breathtaking views of the Neringa sands and the sea. This UNESCO World Heritage site is perfect for both relaxation and active leisure activities with pets.
Between Cranz (Russia) and Smiltynė (Lithuania) stretches over 98 km one of the most special nature reserves in Europe: the Curonian Spit. A spit is a long sand spit that (partially) blocks off a part of the sea, in this case the Curonian Lagoon is blocked off from the Baltic Sea. The Curonian Spit was formed in the 5th millennium BC, the narrow sand spit, the width varies from 380m to 3800 m, is mainly covered with pine trees. The area is a popular tourist destination, especially during the summer months, attractions include the artists' village of Nida, the Witches' Hill in Juodkrantė and the two dune areas. In order to protect nature, the Curonian Spit National Park was established in 1991. In 2000, the entire spit became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and rightly so, because the Curonian Spit is definitely worth a trip!

Might be unique wonder of nature, but human touch (ferry service capacity from and to mainlaind) makes the experience of getting there uniquely painful and nightmarish. 5 hours(!!) waiting in car at the ferry terminal (back and forth) to have 2 hours in the Sea museum (as there was no time left for anything else). All thumbs down for (de)organized logistics here.
This is how I imagine heaven!
Ideal place for a biking trip, as there are high-quality bike roads, plenty of cafes and restaurants, and many nice places to stop all along the peninsula. We took a ferry, then a trip by bus from Smiltyne to Nida, where we rented a bike and rode to Juodkrante (approx. 30 km). Visited Vecerkrugas dune, Preila, did some bird watching near Karvaiciai, then a short walk in Pervalka, a hike to Dead Dunes, spent some time at a beach near Juodkrante, and had a great dinner and a walk around Juodkrante, back to Smiltyne by bus, then ferry back to Klaipeda. Wonderful, relaxing experience!
it looks like heaven
This 40-foot sundial stands atop the Parnidis Dune, one of the scenic highlights of Curonian Spit, a UNESCO World Heritage Site shared by Lithuania and Russia. Built in 1995, the sundial was damaged by a hurricane a few years later and rebuilt in 2011. It accurately tells time by creating shadows on the steps, with notches for hours and half hours, as well as months, equinoxes, and solstices.
March 20 marks the spring (or vernal) equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, meaning that for the next six months daylight hours will outlast nighttime darkness. When it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere, those of us above the equator are tilted away from the sun, giving us shorter days and longer nights. In summer, we're tilted toward the sun, but the equinox is right in between. It's the moment during Earth's annual revolution around the sun when its axis is neither tilting away nor tilting toward the sun, giving everyone on the planet an equal split of day and night. This phenomenon happens twice a year—in March and again in September. In the Southern Hemisphere, everything's flipped. There, it's the autumnal equinox today — and, yes, winter is coming.
46€ for the ferry
50€ entrance fee to the national park
5€/person for the dead dunes as the main attraction and only a tiny carpark
Pretty bad roads
All this makes the experience of this beautiful piece of earth pretty sour and not worth it
I am very pleased to have visited this place. With a visa you can walk from Europe to Russia.
Was very disappointed, there where sign's all over the place saying keep off sand dunes before I got onto the beach then I walked onto the beach and there was no sand and only a puddle of water. I was ready to go the the beach and everything. I brought my beach chair and sunscreen and just wanted a nice peaceful day at the beach but there was no beach for me to be at.

Wolf's Lair

Open air museum
Sights & Landmarks
Wolf's Lair, also known as Wolfsschanze, is a significant historical site located in the Polish Lake District Mazury near the small settlement of Gierloz. This was Adolf Hitler's headquarters from 1941 to 1944 and played a crucial role in commanding the armies during the conquest of the USSR. The complex consisted of approximately 200 buildings including bunkers, barracks, airfields, a railway station, power plant, water supply system and more.
Amazing experience. Yes, the buildings are mainly ruins, but you can see so much. I highly recommend going on your own and not getting a tour guide because you have all the time you want to see around places, and you move at your own pace. You can get an audio tour in a few languages if you'd like. There's a gift and coffee shop and also a restaurant where you can rest after some hours of walk. It's pets friendly as long as they are on the leash. I would definitely visit again.
Katy S — Google review
Well, it's been kinda all blown up. Probably a good thing. There is a lot of history here for WWII nerds. There are lots of informational plaques and you can rent audio guides. Honestly, photographs do not do justice here. The scale of these bunkers is unbelievable.
Huge place, many buildings to see, a lot information about Hitlers place, where he was. With audio guide very simple but informative. Were on Friday 12 o'clock. Not very busy, but were many students.
Make sure you get a headphone guide, really well done.
This site is vast we walked 3 miles just following the route. But worth it, really worth the effort.
Went 9am out of season so we was the first there and seen everything without queue. Somethings are not not open out of season! And there in a hotel there next you the restaurant. What is not on Google maps.
A good opportunity to get acquainted with history. It is convenient that you can order an audio guide in various languages. Great education for the family.
The history, the images and the audio tour. Friendly servicing staff, with good food. Good value for your money
Most of buildings are ruins, but its more than important to visit this place. Its living history.

Mehmet Ö — Google review
Beautiful area and building but the museum itself is average. Some interesting pieces but a lot of similar things and basically nothing in English.. so a wiki page will be more interesting to learn.
Nice place and the museum has many informations to show. There are shops as well to buy amber stones. I enjoyed to read the history behind the making of the stone. Worth to visit.
We did not get a chance to go in due to lack of time, but the surrounding area is great and so are the shops. If the inside is anywhere near its exterior, I'm sure it deserves a five star rating.
Touch mysterious and traditional culture and history of Kaliningrad.
If you have heard of the mystery of the amber room that missed during warld war 2, you would definitely be moved, because there is the exhibition of the room that restorated.
If course, you can learn the history of amber and how to make amber things in Russia.
Additionally, there is the exhibition of amber art such as pictures made with amber.
There is a souvenir shop that you can buy amber and with reasonable prices!
Amazing experience. My knowledge of Amber grew by 50000%. Beautiful pieces to look at as well as nice souvenirs to be bought.
Before I came to Kaliningrad I had no idea that such a huge percentage of worlds amber derived from this region. It's crazy to think about 300 million years how a unique set of circumstances led to it.
This gives a story of the region and a ton of amber displays as well.
I was very happy to be here. But he needs the vaccine QR code, I have the vaccination certificate, they won't admit it and won't let us in. This vaccine certificate is available in many places, and this is the first time that the validity of the vaccine certificate has been denied. a terrible day.

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Königsberg Cathedral, a stunning example of Brick Gothic architecture, stands proudly on Kneiphof Island in Kaliningrad, Russia. Originally constructed in the 14th century as a place of worship for the Prince-Bishops of Samland, this magnificent structure has endured the test of time and was meticulously rebuilt after sustaining damage during World War II. The cathedral is not only dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St.
It is a Brick Gothic-style monument in Kaliningrad and is the most significant preserved building of the former city of Königsberg, which was largely destroyed in World War II.
The construction was completed in 1380. Although it was heavily damaged in World War II, it has since been restored afterward.
It is the largest brick church in the Baltic region and has three towers, and a 700-pipe organ (one of the largest in Russia).
The interesting fact about it is that It is the burial place of Immanuel Kant, the famous philosopher and his statue is in the cathedral as well.
There are lots of interactive parts inside the exhibition about Kant, for example in one part you can ask any question from him, and he'll answer you!
If you are interested in learning more about the history of Königsberg or the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, then a visit to the cathedral is a must.
Maryam K — Google review
Dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St. Adalbert of Prague, it was built as the see of the Prince-Bishops of Samland in the 14th century. Upon the establishment of the secular Duchy of Prussia, it became the Lutheran Albertina University church in 1544. The spire and roof of the cathedral burnt down after two RAF bombing raids in late August 1944. Kaliningrad was to be rebuilt as a model town on the remains of Königsberg, with no reminders of its German past left standing. The ruins of the castle were periodically dynamited over the next several years, with the last remnants destroyed in 1968 on Leonid Brezhnev's personal orders. The ruins of the nearby Königsberg Cathedral, which included the tomb of Immanuel Kant, were left standing, and, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, were rebuilt and restored in the late 1990s and early years of the 21st century.
Amazing place to check out and kaliningrad itself it has a lot of history, and I would definitely recommend going to check it out. Here are a few photo I took
I had the opportunity to see the beautiful cathedral both from the outside and inside. I also attended a concert held inside. The interior is very well maintained and truly impressive. We took a memorable wedding photo in front of the cathedral.
Beautiful cathedral was built in 14th century. Doest function as an regular cathedral nowadays. It's is a museum. To get in you need to buy a ticket. There is also possibility to listen to organ music there.
Another place I did not have the pleasure of experiencing its interior. It is worth the time to walk to it and enjoy the vendors and views of the pond and park.
We enjoyed organ concert. Mozart sounded so wonderful. I am very impressed
The catjedral hosts now the musem of Emmanuel Kant and organ concerts. It si more interesting to watch here outsode than inside. Afterall the cathedral was bombed djrong the ww2 and for a long time it was a ruin. Worth for a visit.

David — Google review
Very sobering experience. The only downfall was that half the exhibits weren't in English . If you're into your history and wish to understand more of how the brutal nazi regime treated these people it's worth a visit .
Free entrance..close at 6pm sharp..lock bus tour people out of bathrooms.. need port a john outside in parking area .for visitor.. tough place to visit.. sad history ! But ! U decide ! Donations on pay by card or cash box
Emotional experience. Absolute a must see place if interested in the history of WWII and Gdansk. Some of the exhibits weren't in English, hence to "only" 4 stars.
Strange to give a concentration camp a 5 star but it is a place to visit and reflect on what humans can do to one another if society breaks down. We shouldn't forget them.
It stands as a grim reminder of what humans are capable of, given the right circumstances. Really worth a visit, even if you're not that into history.
Great place for learning more about the topic. Too bad not all the information is in English too. The Kino was also closed without a heads-up.
Great museum presenting very sad part of the history. It's free of charge, but they don't have audio guides, which would be great addition to the experience, however there are plenty of writen information near every part of previous concentration camp.

Fokarium Stacji Morskiej im. Prof. Krzysztofa Skóry
Mentioned on
Nature & Parks
Museum
Fokarium Stacji Morskiej im. Prof. Krzysztofa Skóry is a seal sanctuary located by the beach, offering visitors a chance to see and interact with seals up close. The entrance fee is minimal and goes towards the conservation of the seals. While lacking English information, it provides an interesting experience for those who haven't seen seals before. Visitors recommend timing their visit during feeding times to see the playful tricks of the seals.
A really nice place, but be prepared to queue, especially near the feeding time. But it is definitely worth the wait - the seals are so lovely.
The feeding show is really fun and lovely to watch, as is just observing the seals: they all have their own personalities and behave differently.
They have a shop which is situated some 200 meters from the entrance (and really close to the exit).
This is a place you should definitely visit!

If there’s no line, go in without thinking twice — the idea is great and the place itself is nice.
But if there’s a line (more than 30 people in front of you), I honestly wouldn’t recommend it. Spending two hours under the sun just to get in, then waiting another hour inside, only to watch a ten-minute seal feeding show, isn’t really worth it.
If you find a queue, you’re better off spending those three hours on the beach instead — you won’t be missing much.
Cool and educational but the info during feeding is provided in Polish only. Still worth it to view the adorable seals. Make sure to attend during the feeding which is 4 times a day or so. The tickets are valid for 30 minutes after the purchase.
Seals are adorable and perform cute tricks for a fish.
It’s definitely worth seeing their little show during feeding time. When I was there, it took place in the second pool, so make sure to find a good spot!
Be careful when buying tickets – they cost 20 zloty per person, and you can pay by card at the machine. After printing your tickets, make sure to print the receipt as well! Both we and the couple before us received one ticket and one receipt instead of two tickets. Only after pressing the option to print the receipt did the second ticket come out.
The main reason I’m not giving five stars is the complete lack of any information in English.
Everything – the show, info panels, materials – is only in Polish. As a foreigner, you have no way (besides looking online) to learn about the great conservation work they’re doing there.
That said, I wish the aquarium all the best – the seals deserve excellent caretakers and respectful visitors!
Fokarium is something you should see when you are in Hel. They help injured seals, which is really positive and their seals are very playful. We stayed there until feeding time and it was quite nice experience.
I would reccomend allowing buying tickets online in advance. This time it rained, so there was not many people waiting, we waited outside just few minutes. But there is another line inside to visit small museum (unfortunately only Polish description). We waited there another 15 minutes to get inside. It was worthy, you could sed seals swimming under the water.
Its necessary to be in row in first 100 people, otherwise there will be no place to clear watch the show. Best places are on the bridge, but it fast full. Overall place is small for such big group of people.
Beautiful seals! Lovely complex, worth the visit. Will never forget!
Fantastic experience. We repeated 3 times in 2 days.
The place is impeccably kept. Very well organized. Very interesting exhibit. The staff do outstanding work.
We're very grateful

Malbork Castle
Mentioned on
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Museum
Malbork Castle, also known as the Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork, is a 14th-century fortress that was originally built as a stronghold by the Teutonic Knights. Situated on the banks of the River Nogat, it served as their headquarters for almost 150 years. The castle now houses a museum with medieval artifacts, paintings, and an impressive amber collection.
Absolutely worth a visit! Tickets include an interactive online audio guide that not only tells you where to go but also shows key highlights on the screen. The range of available languages is impressive. The castle exhibition is massive, and the grounds are beautifully maintained. The whole tour takes about an hour. I recommend it more!"

It’s a fascinating place to explore, full of winding halls, towers, and hidden corners that really give you a feel of its medieval past. Walking through it is both fun and atmospheric, and you can easily spend hours discovering new details. The audio guide is excellent—clear, engaging, and full of stories that make the history come alive in a really enjoyable way.
Okay wow! This is a world heritage site and a must to visit when in Poland. So much history here and the engineering has stood the test of time. There's translation devices for most languages when you enjoy the walking tour. As an Orthodox Christian I can still enjoy the beauty and pure massiveness of this romantic place from another time.
I've never done a self guided or audio tour before, but this was definitely an awesome experience if you're into exploring historical sites. The audio guide was fairly detailed and the English speaking version was great. Each section had me engaged and excited for the next part of the tour. The whole experience was one I won't forget and I really wish I could've brought my family to experience it with me. I'd love to post more pictures, but I don't want to take away from the experience.
An amazing castle to tour. The audio guide is wonderful and guides you to all the rooms and gives interesting information. The castle is really fascinating and beautiful! The restaurant is also worth a visit with super delicious traditional food.
Really great tour experience. Self guided with English headset MP3 type of device. Easy to stay walking distance at nice hotels. Ordered the ticket type we wanted online the night before and simply go to the ticket office and receive an audio device.
The castle is very interesting amd definitely worth visiting! The building is split into multiple parts so the complex over all is HUGE and you can easily spend several hours just walking around. When I went the audio guide was included which was fairly nice, but a bit dry in terms of the content. It is difficult to find your way around the castle as most doors are not marked so the audio guide which literally tells you where to go, what door to open etc, was very useful for navigation. As a historic site it is really worth taking a day trip to visit the castle and the castle grounds.
Impressive architecture. With the audio guide it's a great history lesson. While it's pretty much an unfurnished castle there are some great displays such as the Amber Room, the armory with weapons ranging centuries from both European and Eastern countries.
In addition, the cellar restaurant was surprisingly excellent and fairly priced.
Recommend!

European Solidarity Centre
Mentioned on
Museum

The European Solidarity Centre, located in the famous Gdansk Shipyards, is a museum and library that pays homage to the modern Polish history and the influential trade union movement. The center's exhibits vividly portray the struggles and triumphs of the workers and unionists of the Polish Solidarity movement, which played a pivotal role in bringing about political change in Eastern Europe during the 1980s.
One of the best museums to check out in Poland, dedicating a well-sized exhibition to a topic spanning only a short but incredibly important era of Poland's most recent history. The presentation is superb and the subject matter explained well and with much dignity. A must-see if you're around Gdańsk and just remotely interested in this country's post-war history leading up to present-day Poland.

Definitely THE museum to check out in Gdansk, it documents the history of the Solidarnosc movement that led to the end of communism and the splintering of the Soviet Union.
There's a brilliant audio guide that gives detailed information and leads you through the exhibitions in either 1.5 or 2.5hrs, your choice.
The variety of exhibits and the timeline they document is stunning, extremely interior and so well presented.
There's also a free viewing platform on the roof of the building. Definitely don't skip this museum!
Fantastic museum! The permanent exhibition is excellent and very well laid out and informative.
The audio guide is included in the price and again was very good.
The museum is situated right at the heart of where the Solidarity movement started and holds such a vital piece of history in Europe.
A must see attraction!
Fascinating museum in a great building. Although I remember seeing the events on TV of Solidarnosc and martial law, this was a really interesting wider look at the power of protest and organisation and the huge impact of the events in Poland on the decline and disintegration of the Soviet bloc. The audio guide, included in the ticket, really helps. We had to rush through some parts as we were time limited but could easily have spent 2-3 hours here.
One of the best museums I have ever been to. Well worth it. Very informative. Normally can't be bothered with the Audio guide but gave it a go and well worth it. 2 hours well spent. Also learnt a lot in a topic I thought I knew quite a bit on. Well done
A cool venue aswell. Looks like they do events there which would be a nice setting. Also the library is very nice
Very beautiful, new and interactive museum. It’s sad because the history wasn’t so good but it’s definitely worth visiting. Everyone should visit this museum while you’re in the Gdansk. You will get to choose from the 2 audio guides 1.5 and 2.5 hour one. We choosed the 1.5 hour one and we were there for 3 hours. Also I
personally recommend buying tickets in the advance so you be don’t need to wait a long line for buying tickets.
Fantastic museum! Holds a very powerful story, not just for Poland but for all of the democratic world. Other than the story and history, the architecture and build of the museum is sturdy with an industrial structure. I loved how you are encouraged to touch everything, different to other museums where you have to be extra careful.
Be sure to take the official picture by Gate 2, where the solidarity movement exited the shipyard.
My second time in this museum and I can say- I would like to return after couple of years. Very good museum. On of the best in the world.
Never forget a price of freedom!!!

The Sopot Pier is a very nice place to visit and take a walk, especially with family. The views of the sea are beautiful, and the atmosphere is great for a relaxing stroll. Depending on the day and time, it can get quite busy, but even then it’s still worth visiting. A lovely spot to enjoy the seaside!
It's a beautiful and pieceful walking place that turns into a magic during late hours. I used used Premium Yachting offer to go on 110min cruise. The captain Marta is so welcoming, and the experience - calming.
Beautiful long pier. Although there isn’t any entertainment on the pier, it is really nice for a relaxed walk and a sit down on the benches. Can get quite windy so wrap up warm and admire the views :)
A true gem! Pier In Spot offers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere – the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The pier is well maintained and safe, and the view from it is simply breathtaking – the sunsets here are something else. An ideal spot for unwinding or even photography. Highly recommended!
Sopot pier is a nice walk. You get a great view of the Baltic Sea. It can be a bit packed depending on the time of day with tourists, but it should be a must see for anyone visiting Sopot.
This Beach is very clean, the sea is surprisingly warm, the sand is beautiful.
There are places too each and drink alot the beach also, and kids friendly.
The longest wooden pier in Europe, located close to Sopot promenade is a perfect place for your holiday pictures. Lots of stunning yachts and ships are parked here. Also the famous Pirate ship cruise starts here and many boat taxis to Hel, Gdynia and Gdansk are based here.

I really liked Mill Island in Bydgoszcz. The buildings are beautifully restored, and the entire area is very well maintained. It’s an interesting and definitely must-visit spot when you’re in the city. There’s also a free viewing platform – the view isn’t particularly impressive, but it’s still worth checking out.
So fun renting the paddle boats to get away for an hour. Downstream is easy but coming back you should prepare yourself for the upstream current. Recommend two people.
This is the Old town of Bydgoszcz. There are few buildings which has historical value. Very attractive architectural buildings are standing there around. Brda river is the greatest treasure in bydgoszcz and there are many water events river sides in June. You can visit there and can have enjoyable moments. Better place for walking as well. And there are few good restaurants to have a coffee or meal with your families.
A really pretty area for a walk. There is a playground area for kids. There are some museums in the area as well. And there are plenty of good photo ops. I also noticed many nice restaurants and cafés in the area even though I didn't get a chance to eat there. Definitely worth your time.
Not a trail, really.
Nice museums, a cafe with a large terrace, and lovely green areas and fountains.
One of the best places to take pictures, enjoy events or even resting or going for a walk or chill closer to the Bay.
Clean, with toilets, accessible to handicapped people and safe. Definitely, worths the visit.
Mill island by the Old Town was Bydgoszcz’s hive of industry from Medieval times. There are a few mill buildings standing here from the 1800s. They have been spruced up and turned into attractions. Island has green spaces bordering the peaceful loop in the Brda, which has clear water and waterfowl on its banks. During summertime yiu can rent a rowboat, potter around the quaint specialty shops or sip a cold beer outside in one of many restaurants.

Lake Malta is a picturesque man-made lake that offers a variety of activities such as running and cycling. Adjacent to the lake, visitors can explore attractions like Jezyce with its street art and vibrant cafe scene, Kornik Castle where the legend of the 'White Lady' lingers, and the charming 'Vine Bridge' restaurant. In June, the Midsummer Night festival illuminates the sky with thousands of lanterns.
Reminds me of Pancharevo ezero in Bulgaria, a very nice walk around, but even better because of the many things to do around. There's a train, two roads - strictly for pedestrians and one for bikers only, ice cream and some restaurants at the far end as well as a whole amusement park and a zoo if you continue a bit further, But it's fine even for just a walk. Takes about 1 - 2 hours depending on your tempo. I loved that they put an honour to the medalists!

A lovely lake. It’s a 5.6km loop we ran around and a great way to see it! There’s a lot going on; mini golf, ski slope, acarde, thermal baths etc. Great visit and would recommend a few hours here
A beautiful lake, especially for taking pict.. hehe
the area is quite busy..A suitable area for relaxing, jogging,Read a book Or even just to enjoy the fresh air. There are several restaurants near the lake... so you don't need to worry if you're hungry 😁
It has the wow effect. Lovely man made lake for rowing competition. Lots of activity on either side of the lake. One side, artificial ski slope and the other side- water park/ slide. There are also ‘beach’ type place where you can play beach volleyball and football. Not for swimming or u can swim but at your own peril…….
Great place for jogging , cycling, walking you pets or just simply outdoor walking . One of the biggest Man made lakes in Poznan. The water sport competitions are kept here. The area of the biggest Malta mall, Ski resort , and The Poznan Zoo. In winter they let it dry out , for cleaning purpose i guess.
A great location to walk. Very long, clean, and maintained path. Road noise is not too loud and is not audible in most.locations. Frequent benches and resting spots. Some eateries close by.
Very nice place. Best for people who love to have ME time too. Peaceful place. Cycling and runners is a must go.
Nice place to have a walk and relax. On the shore of the lake you can find benches where you can rest and bronze statues with local cultural themes

Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial

Local history museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial is a museum and memorial located in Lichtenberg, Berlin. It was originally a site used by the Nazis and later transformed into a remand prison by the Soviets, known as Special Encampment No.3, which was further expanded by the Stasi.
Great history lesson. And if you are of a certain age, a lot of it happened in your own lifetime. Brutal treatment by the Russians after the war, and then in more recent times by the communist German secret police.
Very interesting tour led by historian Andreas Ott, who escaped the east when only 19. Some of the other tour guides had experience as prisoners here. Tour lasts around 2 hours. Some great tales told.
Well worth the trip out to the east end.
Bruce R — Google review
The location can only be visited with a guide and tours are available at fixed hours. They have guides available in: German and English. The visit was beautiful, the guide was ok, with many explanations. The tour lasts about 2 hours. You are allowed to take pictures and film inside. The cost is 9 euros. It was worth the whole tour. I recommend. 👍
The whole memorial area is a very educational location, great to share and spread awareness on the atrocities of the Nazi regime. Not for the faint hearted.
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes, get snacks, & most importantly pick a guide that's passionate; I was lucky to have Paul from Get your Guide, who gave us the nitty gritty details of the whole camp and it's history.
Good place to remember an important part of our history, it does a good job of putting the crimes of the Stasi into context. Tours are lead by contemporaries and former inmates, very nice and informative guides. When i visited, the weather really sucked but otherwise it’s a well designed visitor center with a decent bookstore.
A former Stasi prison for political prisoners, shown around by Hans Schreider a former political prisoner, very knowledgeable and a very moving visit.
Impressive visit, thanks to the decor that brings you straight back to DDR days and especially thanks to the tour guide that himself had to spend years in the prison. Must visit when in Berlin.
This tour was the highlight of our time in Berlin. Our guide, Johannes, was extraordinary — deeply passionate and able to convey the history of the prison in a way that was powerful and moving. He led us through what life was like for prisoners, from the early, horrific conditions to the later era of psychological torment. It’s not an easy visit, but it’s an incredibly important and unforgettable one.
Our tour guide was such a brilliant and respectful teacher about the GDR, the Stasi, and the prison itself. I deeply wish I could remember his name, but he led the English tour and has a beard and glasses if that helps. I knew very little about the Stasi before attending a the tour and our guide allowed us to ask questions and also encouraged us to reflect on how we can protect human rights in the present day.

From Prague, buses depart from Cerny most metro station up to 25 times per day.

For your information, there is no cable car to the top, it is out of commission as of September 10th, 2024. Absolutely incredible view. Totally worth hiking up 1 hour to the top to get these amazing view of the mountains, valleys and the city view.
Buster I — Google review
We happened to get here on a morning of heavy fog that made it impossible to even see the tower from below. It takes about 15-20 minutes to climb from the upper parking lot to the tower itself. It's a very steep climb and not suitable for people with walking problems. But once it starts to clear up, amazing views will be revealed. The tower itself is now a hotel. There is a plaza with benches for observation and a small kiosk with drinks, food, and souvenirs. Please note that payment at the upper parking lot is cash only.
Popular peak near Liberec. A bit too popular to my liking: there were a lot of people, even though it was a weekday. The path up was also quite rocky.
On the bright side, the views were nice and the prices for food and drinks are quite reasonable, given the location.
Good hiking at the top, only the uphill is at the start, than it is quite easy. Good views on the city and around nature from here.
Inside the Jested it is not so beautiful and not very good coffee and food.
A beautiful and fascinating building – I’ve always wanted to visit this place and finally got the chance to see the interior. The view from the top is absolutely stunning. This is a must-visit destination for every tourist coming to the Czech Republic.
The surreal and beautiful transmission tower has a remarkably delicious restaurant with warm service. The amuse bouche was a watermelon feta gazpacho and whet the appetite. Following was fabulous smoked salmon and a delicious oyster mushroom main dish. Loved the whole experience.
Beautiful place with nice landscape view, nature 😍
Nice walk up the mountain with good weather. We parked a bit up the mountain as the cable car was out of function and we didn't want to do the full hike. Still a nice half our trail up, with pretty views.
Jested is nice to see at the top and get a snack or drink.
Depending on the weather I would do this again.

Good park for hanging out and small picnic. It's by the spree so one can enjoy the water view, beautiful Sky, Nature and greenery. You can also find benches, flowers and fountain. Good place for families and children to play
I observed a monument for Russian soldiers. This pathetic monument symbolizing victory of Soviet Union in WWII and all symbolic depicts Soviet and Russian propaganda about Russians as deliberators of Europe. So I had a complex feeling- from one point - it’s a quality piece of art, from the other side, it’s a disgusting sample of propaganda
If you are in Berlin, you should visit this place. The park is beautiful. It is full of paths for walkers and cyclists. You can cool off on hot days by the water in the shade of the trees. The only thing I don't like is the quote from Lenin and Stalin, which, in my opinion, spoils the overall impression a little. But overall, I recommend this place to everyone.
A really beautiful park with plenty of space to relax. The lake is perfect for a short boat trip, and the small food stalls around the area are definitely worth trying. Sometimes there’s even an ice-cream stand open, which is a nice bonus. The overall vibe is calm and enjoyable, a great place to spend a few hours.
Lovely park, very large. I highly recommend taking a boat ride and trying the local cuisine there. Occasionally they have a lovely ice cream stand open. The atmosphere is always amazing.
Fabulous park. Has a very moving memorial to the Russian soldiers who saved the East Berliners from the Nazis.
Lovely cafe's and plenty to do. Has a river running through it.
Wide park with a touching but imposing memorial to the Red Army for their victory in the Second World War, it is a wonderful place to both remember history and have a moment to walk outside and relax. It lacks public lighting, so it is strongly recommended to avoid the park at night as it is pitch dark.

The East Side Gallery is a preserved graffiti project covering a 1,316m-long remnant of the Berlin Wall in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. It celebrates the fall of the wall and features around 100 graffiti paintings by artists from all over the world.
A little way from the main tourist attractions, it’s a pleasant walk along the river Spree to see the longest remaining part of the Berlin
Wall.
1.3 km in length, decorated by over 100 artists with short information boards along the way.
Here you get a feel of what a divided city this was. Only the 3.6 m inner wall remains but add the boundary signal fence, 3m border fence and a watchtower every 600 meters to appreciate how separate both sides must have felt.

I had to visit this place for my 3 days in Berlin and it didn't disappoint! Iconic to Berlin. Some are a trip and some I didn't get, but if you run into those you can walk right past to a new piece. Information on the artists is listed in front of the artwork. Super cool. I went solo I don't think I would want to go as a group by going solo you can spend time enjoying the parts you like and take it at your own pace.
An iconic open-air gallery full of history, emotion, and creativity.
Each mural tells a unique story — from freedom and unity to peace and hope.
Walking along the wall is both thought-provoking and inspiring.
A must-visit in Berlin for anyone who wants to feel the city’s soul through art.
East Side Gallery – An iconic open-air landmark
An absolutely iconic spot. It’s the longest preserved section of the Berlin Wall, stretching for about 1.5 km along the riverbank. Essentially, it’s an open-air museum showcasing creative, impactful, and often thought-provoking wall art from various artists.
It’s definitely worth a visit, as it gives you a strong sense of what the divided city once looked and felt like. The artworks are unique, symbolic, and visually striking. It's also a great place for those classic “Berlin” hype photos. Many murals even include QR codes that provide background information about each piece.
A small warning: the area is very busy and there are quite a few pickpockets around. Just keep an eye on your belongings so that this otherwise great experience isn’t spoiled.
Overall, a must-see in Berlin.
The East Side Gallery offers a wonderful walking experience filled with vibrant, amazing murals that vividly capture the history and spirit of Berlin. The artwork not only celebrates freedom but also includes clean, powerful graffiti that traces the story of the Berlin Wall dividing East and West Germany.Beyond the murals, the park behind the wall provides a peaceful and picturesque spot to relax after the walk, making the entire visit both culturally enriching and refreshing. It’s a must-see for anyone interested in history, art, and the unique atmosphere of Berlin.
As the history of Berlin is very dictated by the wall that separated it, very good to see it and easy to imagine how it would feel for the people living in the same city but separated from this giand wall. Also i liked that in the park nearby was a lot a people who were chilling, playing and having fun 🌞
It was amazing to see the Berlin Wall up close, covered in murals that are not just beautiful but also carry powerful messages. For me it had historic moments to things that still feel relevant today. The walk isn’t too long, and every few steps there’s another piece of art that makes you stop and think. Definitely worth visiting.
I really enjoyed looking across at all the art and little tags locals and others had made on the wall, took plenty of photos. One thing that did irritate me slightly was the amount of attention the picture of the two men kissing got was ridiculous, also it was so crowded at this specific picture that it was almost impossible to take a photo of it and even walk past it, people by this specific picture were also very rude pushing others out of the way. It really upsets me because so many of the other pictures barely had any attention when I would argue there were so much nicer than the one stated above

House of the Wannsee Conference
Mentioned on
Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
The House of the Wannsee Conference stands as a haunting reminder of one of history's darkest chapters. This lakeside villa, where Nazi officials convened in 1942 to orchestrate the horrific 'Final Solution' aimed at exterminating European Jewry, has been transformed into a poignant memorial and educational center. Visitors can explore the chilling logistics behind this tragedy while reflecting on its profound implications for humanity.
The beauty of this place and wonderful weather I had on the day of my visit emphasised the clashing experience of what happened here in 1942. Very well prepared exhibition with many resources and interest g forms of exhibition. Entrance is free so is the car park. Highly recommend, also as a picturesque nature spot at the lake.

A visit to the Wannsee Villa is highly recommended. This historic site, where the Final Solution of the Holocaust was planned, offers a deeply informative and compelling museum experience. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and a serene lake, the setting adds a peaceful contrast to the weight of its history. It’s an important place to learn, reflect, and remember.
For me it was spinechilling to walk around the mansion where the famous conference was held. The park and the mansion is very attractive inside there is an exhibit with a lot of documents, photos. Upstairs you can find a huge library with a lot of books on holocaust. I would definitely suggest visiting this place. Entrance is free.
When I visited, meeting room was being cleaned, so I couldn’t see it, but it’s worthseeing - very informative and thought provoking about the world we live in today. Such a peaceful place and yet such horrible plans were structured in it. Sarcasm, German humor, call what do you want.
It’s beautiful. It’s hard to imagine of how a place with dark history look beautiful. Anyway, dark things don’t only happen in dark places but also in bright places gardens flourish and flowers blossom.
Well done experience using their guide (so heart wrenching though…which contrasts with the beautiful view from the back of the house
I like to come here by bike from Potsdam. It's a good place to read a book, take notes, or just daydream.
A really important place to visit, such important piece of history

Pravčická Archway
Mentioned on
Sights & Landmarks
Restaurant
Pravčická Archway, a stunning natural sandstone formation, is a popular scenic site that requires a 5km uphill walk from the paid parking or bus stop. The entrance fee is around 4 EUR and credit cards are accepted. The area offers good amenities and breathtaking views, making it perfect for a sunny day excursion. However, it may not be ideal during windy or rainy weather due to its exposed location.
We recommend visiting here if you are around. Since we spent a night in Hřensko, we just parked our car at the hotel in town and continued walking from there. You can also take a bus or drive a bit further to reduce the walking distance.
The path to the top is quite well-organized and well-maintained. Once you turn off from the main road, you’ll really feel how beautiful and impressive those rock walls are. It’s sad to see the damage from the fire a few years back, but it doesn’t reduce the impressiveness. I recommend wearing hiking shoes or good sneakers, as some parts of the path can be a bit slippery on rainy days.
When you reach the Archway, there’s a small entrance fee, which likely contributes to maintaining the area. There are also clean toilets, which is really convenient. Before you sit and rest at the restaurant, I’d suggest hiking a bit further to the viewpoint so you can see the Archway from above with beautiful scenery all around. Just be a bit careful — it’s a bit steep and the wind can be quite strong up there. After soaking in the views, feel free to head down and relax with a drink and cake — a small reward for the achievement you made today.
Don’t forget to bring your trash back down. I know many people can’t stop smoking, and I don’t mind as it’s your choice, but please don’t throw cigarette butts along the way. It’s not that hard to take even the small trash down so we can help save this area for the next generations. 🙏🏽

Great place to hiking, on website was mentioned that all roads are expert, but as I feel you can go even with kids. One minus, if you want to sit on the top in restaurant you need to pay for entrance, I think it strange decision , as you will pay for food and drinks. Queue for tickets in weekend 15-25 min
In a stunning location amazing place for those who like hiking. It is quite steep in places but the path is beautifully done so everyone can do it. The hike took about 1.5 hours to get to the most incredible natural arch I have ever seen and it is worth to get exhausted on the way. The award on the top is fantastic, lovely restaurant and magnificent views. Access to the final part is restricted by times so it is worth to check out before trip to avoid disappointment and also you have to pay for it but cost is not expensive. Car park available on the bottom in the nearest town.
Truly amazing natural formation.
The walk is a bit far from the bottom but manageable. Bring comfortable shoes, open toe are not recommended, there's a lot of loose gravel, sand, and boulders. Once at the top the cost at the main door is 125 kc, but online you can pay 50 kc. Definitely recommended. Walk along the outside edge of the archway and get some great pictures.
We had an extremely interesting hiking experience, saw incredible landscapes and beauties. You have to see it with your own eyes.
Parking for a car costs 12 euros.
It takes from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to climb up, depending on your physical condition. Entrance to the most interesting places on the mountain costs 5 euros. The road from Prague by car is about 2 hours.
Interesting, beautiful, you will not regret it
Well… even just being here means surrendering yourself to the genius loci of this world-class natural wonder! So close one eye a little.. enjoy your refreshment in this rather simple buffet.. and don’t be surprised by the crowds. What truly matters is the wooden chateau itself.. magnificent building that literally breathes history.
We visited this stunning site during the Easter holidays, and while it was quite crowded, the experience was absolutely worth it. The hike begins at Hřensko, with a well-marked trail leading you upward. There’s ample parking available at the base, but it fills up quickly—so it's best to arrive early.
The trail is fairly steep in places, so wearing proper hiking shoes and carrying enough water is highly recommended, especially if you're visiting on a warm day. Once you reach the top, there’s a small entrance fee.
At the summit, you will find a cafe, a kiosk, clean restrooms and an information center where you can purchase souvenirs. Note that the kiosk and souvenir shop accept cash only, so be sure to bring some with you. The panoramic views from the top are absolutely breathtaking - perfect for taking a break and soaking in the scenery.
Pravčická Gate, located in Bohemian Switzerland National Park, is the largest natural sandstone arch in Europe and a true geological wonder. The hike to reach it is scenic and well-marked, starting typically from the village of Hřensko (Paid parking, in high season there may not be enough spaces).
The site can get crowded in peak season, and there's a small entrance fee. Easy route, for people of all ages.

Frauenkirche Dresden
Mentioned on
Church
Sights & Landmarks
The Frauenkirche Dresden is a stunning Baroque church that was reconstructed and reconsecrated in 2005 after being destroyed during World War II. It is part of the magnificent architectural ensemble in Dresden, often referred to as 'The Florence on the Elbe,' which includes the Semper Opera House, Zwinger, Royal Palace, Cathedral St. Trinitatis (Hofkriche), and Castle Pillnitz.
This church is majestic and feels like a center piece of the city. The surrounding area with the church makes this place very picturesque. There is a called rubble from the past that is kept next to the church which is a nice little touch. This is definitely a must visit site in Dresden
Anand — Google review
We visited as it’s our last day, it’s pretty impressive how much money, time, and effort to rebuild all these historic buildings, including this Church of our Lady.
Inside still haven’t had much to see but still nice to visit. Free entry but if you wish to climb up to the viewing tower over 100 steps then have a fee.
This is a beautiful church that is the jewel of Dresden. I loved visiting the church as well as sitting outside in one of the many cafes and restaurants and taking in the view. Church entrance is free. It’s gorgeous inside. If you want to climb up the dome, you need to go around the back. I think it was €12 entrance. The views are great from the top. There are a good few steps going up to start and then there is a ramp around the dome which makes it far easier to ascend.
Brilliant history! In the final days of WWII, the whole city was bombed including this church which was a very important part of Dresden. Following the reunification of German, it was rebuilt using some of the original stone! The building is incredible and there is a stunning view from the top. A must visit!
Frauenkirche Dresden, A symbol of peace and rebirth.
Destroyed during World War II and rebuilt from its original stones, the Church of Our Lady stands today as a powerful reminder of faith, resilience, and hope.
Its magnificent dome shines once again over the heart of Dresden
It's free to walk into the main part of the church where you can see the beautiful interior, and 10€ per person to climb to the top of the church.
The stairs are pretty easy most of the way up, and up until after you finish walking up a big sloped ramp near the end you must also get up some VERY steep and skinny stairs (so beware, if you're a claustrophobe or don't like heights). But the view of Dresden is so worth it if you do it.
The magnificent Frauenkirche! When I last visited decades ago, the church was nothing but a pile of rubble—or more accurately, a heap of stones—serving as a stark reminder of the devastation of war. Reconstruction began in 1994, and on October 30, 2005, it was officially reopened.
The church hall is impressively tall and richly decorated. You can climb up to the dome, but we didn’t have time for that on this visit. I’m sure the views from up there—both into the church and across Dresden—are breathtaking.
If you only have time to visit one attraction in Dresden, I’d choose the Frauenkirche.
We came for a Mozart concert. It was fabulous. This rebuild baroque church is bright and beautifully grand. It holds around 3000 guests and is decorated with much gold and adornments.The seats were comfortable not like other old churches.it was warm and without drafts.

Fürstenzug
Mentioned on
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
In Dresden, Saxony, one of the most captivating attractions is the Fürstenzug, also known as the Procession of Princes. This impressive 102-meter-long mural made of 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles showcases the history of the House of Wettin, spanning from the 12th to the 19th century.
The Fürstenzug in Dresden is an impressive mural made of Meissen porcelain tiles, depicting the history of Saxon rulers. At over 100 meters long, it is one of the largest porcelain artworks in the world. The level of detail in the figures is truly fascinating, bringing history to life. A must-see historical landmark when visiting Dresden!
Victoria M — Google review
The Fürstenzug took me by surprise—so detailed and grand, yet tucked along a quiet street. From my perspective, it’s one of those places that really brings history to life. The scale and craftsmanship of the porcelain mural are incredible, and it’s amazing how well it’s been preserved. It’s definitely worth pausing here while exploring the old town—it doesn’t take long, but it leaves a lasting impression.
the procession of princes is enormous 102-meter-long porcelain mural that basically tells the history of saxony. it features 94 figures of all the saxon rulers and nobles in chronological order, starting way back in 1127.
what's really cool is that it's made from an incredible 25,000 meissen porcelain tiles, which makes it the world's largest porcelain artwork. you'll find it right on augustusstraße, so it's super easy to check out as you're walking between dresden's main attractions. and the best part? you can view it completely free
What an excellent and exquisite display of porcelain art. I believe the art shows a march of the Saxon ruler dynasty and is the larger porcelain mural in the world. When you come upon the wall, the sheer size of it is jaw dropping. You won’t be able to believe what you are seeing. It is beautiful. This is a must see sight when you visit Dresden.
We visited the Fürstenzug in December 2024 during the Christmas market, and we were truly impressed. Hahhh, what can I say or express? It was an incredible experience to stand in front of this massive wall of history. This open-air artwork is both grand and full of detail, yet located on a quiet street in Dresden’s historic center.
* Stretching 102 meters long, the mural is made of over 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles and portrays the genealogy of the Wettin dynasty, which ruled Saxony for centuries. It’s considered the largest porcelain mural in the world. Originally painted between 1871 and 1876, it was later replaced with porcelain tiles from 1904 to 1907 to withstand the weather.
In addition to princes, kings, and dukes, the mural also features scientists, craftsmen, farmers, and even children — which gives the artwork a more human and timeless feel. It’s a true open-air history lesson. The visit is free, quick, and unforgettable. Definitely worth stopping by while exploring the Old Town. And afterward, take a break at one of the lovely nearby cafés!
I Recommend it.
Once I arrived in Dresden, I had to take the latest available train to see this. It’s more than I expected. On weekends, this alley can get a little crowded, so you might have to wait a while to get a good picture. :)
Wonderful historic place in the Alt stadt dresden! Indeed its a very beautiful architecture and painting
This beautiful and historic mural, which we explored during a walking tour, runs along the Oberlandesgericht (Higher Regional Court) building.
The intricate artwork, done in the style of sgraffito, is impressive and worth pausing to admire. The mural tells the story of Saxony’s history, making it both visually and historically captivating.
It’s free to view, and you could spend 15-20 minutes here as part of a walking tour of Dresden’s historic centre.

It truly worth of nine euro of entry fee.
No jacket and of any backpack allowed in the museum!
You really need two to three hours to truly enjoy the detail of each and every piece of art! Also the history behind!
If you visit Dresden, don’t miss this great collection!

The museum itself is quite good — a very rich exhibition, definitely worth seeing.
However, the overall impression was seriously spoiled by the staff. Already at the ticket counter, the employees were rude to visitors, and unfortunately, the same attitude continued inside the museum.
It felt as if they were retired Stasi officers — the interaction was that cold and unpleasant.
We've never experienced anything like this in any other museum.
Definitely one of the many must-see attractions in Dresden.
Received unfortunately worldwide media attention because of the heist in 2019, of which the most valuable pieces are still missing.
It’s recommended to buy tickets in advance, we waited 1h.
Very impressive and valuable collection of different pieces.
We visited as part of a Viking tour group. Be aware that you will have to check your bag (even if it's small), and save your ticket for the restrooms. Lifts are available.
We had no problems bringing in phones and taking pictures, and the staff were pleasant.
I recommend a guide if possible if only because these pieces have a lot of history, from technique of manufacturing, provenance, and their survival throughout the war. The stories a guide can provide really make or break this experience, I think.
One of the most beautiful treasure rooms I've ever seen in my life. Well with the visit. A highlight of the city. I recommend people visit Dresden for this specific treasure vault. Excellent audio guide. Pictures but allowed inside.
We booked two tickets in visit the green Vault with audio guide, it’s very interesting each every pieces of the treasures have story to listen to, and the all of them so beautiful, uniquely crafted handmade.
Unfortunately, we aren’t allowed to take any pictures but to observe and appreciate the beauty is already sufficient.
You can’t miss out this place in Dresden.
It's really worth visiting this museum. 3 hours of walking around this huge area (without using audio guides) with many different exhibitions.
PS. Buy a ticket for the "new" part if it's possibly to buy just this one.
The historical part is just 20min, where you can't take pictures
This place has so much to see. I would not bother with a tour. We had signed our 10th graders up for a tour and it was way too short. Sadly, you do not really get to see that much on the on the tour. We really only saw what felt about 2% of the exhibition.
I highly recommend using your ticket to climb to the top of the tower because you have an amazing view.

Dresden Zwinger is a stunning Baroque building that houses a porcelain collection and exhibits on historic scientific instruments. The city of Dresden, often referred to as 'The Florence on the Elbe,' boasts magnificent architectural wonders like the Semper Opera House, Royal Palace, Cathedral St. Trinitatis, Castle Pillnitz, and Frauenkirche. Despite the devastation of World War II, Dresden has persevered and regained its beauty.
The building is still under construction 🚧 and the garden also.
But it’s still beautiful, they allowed tourists to go inside the garden for free and walking up to the fortress area to see the view on both sides of the castle and city.
The beautiful historical arts and history is worth to visit, very close to the Opera House too.
Pasan S — Google review
Magnificent Baroque palace, initially build by August Strong as a an orangery and gardens, destroyed by the ally bombings in 1945, restored in 50s and 60s .
You can walk on the roof of the galleries and admire the beauty of it. It's open till late evening and the entrance is free.The inner garden part is currently ( as of August 2025) under renovation.
The galleries house 2 museums - one of mathematical instruments and another is porcelain gallery ( which I highly recommend).
When we were there in one of the towers a classical music concert was held. It was beautiful to listen to music in a such beautiful place.
I visited the Zwinger in Dresden and really enjoyed the experience. There is a lot to see here, and the place itself feels quite special. The architecture is impressive and honestly a bit overwhelming – you can just stand there and keep looking at all the details. Every corner has something interesting, from the buildings themselves to the sculptures and the way everything is arranged.
It was a bit crowded when I visited, but that didn’t really stop me from enjoying it. You still have plenty of space to walk around and take your time. I found myself slowing down just to notice the small details, and it was worth it.
Overall, I think it’s one of those places you shouldn’t miss if you’re in Dresden. It’s not only about seeing a landmark, but also about the feeling of being surrounded by such a unique piece of history and design.
This is an absolute must-see in Dresden.
There’s no need to explain why — just go. The palace offers much more to see than you might expect, so make sure to allow plenty of time for your visit. It’s truly worth the admission fee.
The art museum was particularly impressive !
Dresden Zwinger is an absolutely beautiful place—one of those spots where you instantly feel like you’ve stepped into another century. The architecture is breathtaking, with elegant palace buildings, detailed façades and peaceful courtyards that make the whole complex feel almost magical.
It’s the kind of place where you can just stroll around, soak in the atmosphere, admire the gardens, and truly appreciate the history and beauty of Dresden. A must-see when visiting the city.
What a beautiful palace. Baroque at its best. Apparently nearly completely destroyed during world War 2 it now shines once more. Different exhibitions at the 4 wings with porcelain, old master and physics. Close to all the downtown historic buildings. In walking distance to the Frauenkirche. A definite must see.
We walked here to do something. It was pretty. We went across the street to rooftop bar pretty good view and sunset was pretty.
The Zwinger in Dresden is one of the city’s most stunning Baroque landmarks. Its elegant courtyards and ornate pavilions make it perfect for walking around and taking photos. The Old Masters Gallery, home to the “Sistine Madonna,” is a highlight, along with impressive porcelain and scientific collections. The site is well-kept, atmospheric, and beautiful both day and night. A visit truly feels worthwhile.

Theresienstadt concentration camp
Mentioned on
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Theresienstadt concentration camp, also known as Terezin, was originally a garrison town turned into a Jewish ghetto and concentration camp during the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia. The fortress walls contained over 150,000 Jews from various countries. Visitors can explore the Great Fortress and Small Fortress on guided tours to learn about the harrowing history of this place. It's a somber experience that offers insight into the suffering and loss endured by countless families during that time.
It's not a place you want to star rate, but it has been well
preserved and open to the public to recount, in a small way, the abhorrent conditions the Czech Jews had to endure. Important for as many people to visit and appreciate that this must never happen again.

Really sad to get to know the past and how was life or surviving in a place like this, the entrance was about 10€ per person, there are toilets for free inside, don't miss the cinema, it shows a movie of about 20 minutes where you can get most of the information and history for free as well and it was translated in English.
If you’re planning a visit to the Terezín Memorial, I highly recommend making an online reservation in advance. While there are a few basic informational signs scattered around the site, most of the historical context and stories require a guided explanation to truly understand the significance of what you're seeing.
The admission ticket includes a guided tour, but you must book it online beforehand through their official website. Several language options are available, making it accessible for international visitors.
There is a small kiosk within the site that offers vending machines, and the town has a few grocery stores. However, it’s a good idea to bring your own light meal and drinking water for the visit, as options on-site are limited.
Also, make sure to set aside time to visit the other museums in town. The ticket to the concentration camp also grants you access to several important museums in the town of Terezín, and they are absolutely worth seeing. These museums provide essential context and help paint a fuller picture of the site's history.
My nephew as me about Auschwitz when we were in Germany so we drove there the following week. As I read on the Internet that we need to reserve as we won’t get in, that was false, the free entrance are limited and need to be reserved but the tour in your language happens every couple hours or so and with many language, of it is 70€ but to really get the feeling and understanding of the place, I think you need the guided tour. Our guide was not that enthusiastic but I guess this is in their mantra. Her English was good for conversation but maybe a bit lacking for this kind of guiding but this did not bother the group I was in. For some reason I was expecting more from what everyone I know who have been there where telling me about the feeling and all but maybe I just been to too many of similar place when I was in the military… definitely recommend to go there with your younger members of the family so that we never forget and don’t let the Israelis repeat the same thing now with the Palestinians
A must visit, worth the day trip from Prague. We booked the tour online in advance but they didn’t even check the reservation. The guided tour was nice, if you don’t do it I’m not sure how you’d get information on the buildings as there is very little signage. They do run 4 or 5 tours at the same time, just in different languages. This means it’s quite crowded. It would be better if they staggered the times. They offer tours in many languages, and your entrance ticket here works in numerous other sights throughout the town as well.
A very well preserved exhibit. Definitely recommend getting a tour
Events that happened here shouldn't be forgotten. I appreciate how places like these remind us to never let these things happen again.
Although, Theresienstadt wasn't really an extermination camp it reminds us of how much suffering humans can inflict on one another.
A must visit so that the horrors of the Holocaust are not forgotten

Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Meissen GmbH, located at Talstrasse 9, is a historic castle factory that showcases porcelain from 1710 to the present. Visitors can witness the centuries-old process of making Meissen china using traditional designs on a self-guided tour lasting between 30 and 60 minutes. The manufactory also offers pre-recorded audio devices in multiple languages for an immersive experience.
A really lovely and modern building, which feels very light and airy. Our tour guide was excellent, providing great facts and stories. Well worth the visit, which is a 30 minute train ride from Dresden, and then a 10 minute walk from the train station.
Tip: The cafe was surprisingly good! You have the option of indoor or outdoor seating.

If you are in Meissen, you need to visit this museum. They have huge collection and you will be amazed with the giant porcelain pieces. Tour was also fun, you go to different rooms to learn about modeling, sculpting, painting etc.
We spent good two good hours there.
Meissen and porcelain are like synonyms. So why not visit nice Meißen porcelain museum. If you want to know more, there are guided tours. More information, it all depends what you want. Museum can visit without guide. And of course is there shop, from where you can buy to yorself beautiful porcelain products. Near the factory is parking area.
The presentation is a little bit lacking, but otherwise is ok and the museum is amazing. The porcelains came from very different periods and this is why so beauty the collection. Good work for presentation and the kahle is the best.
The Meissen porcelain manufactory is a very interesting place for those who love beautiful tableware, beautiful trinkets and are interested in crafts. You can go to the store and the museum at any time when the manufactory is open.
But I strongly recommend purchasing tickets with a demonstration of the production process; it is better to buy them in advance for a tour in a language suitable for you. However, there is an English audioguide, it allows you to take advantage of the German excursion.
I advise to visit a local cafe, where you will have the opportunity to dine on original Meissen porcelain. As a compliment we get there especial cookies with manufacture symbol.
Every time I come here I get ammazed what a beauty lies in the porcelain. Never get tired of this, though the entrance fee is not a cheapest one (EUR 10,-/p.p.)
Perfect place for people who have too much money on the account :) Large collection of porcelain and the tour explaining the process of making porcelain is definitely worth visiting.
Jaw dropping, beautiful. The tour showing you how they make and decorate the pottery if fascinating
