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!

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.

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.

Königsberg Cathedral

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!
Henri ( — Google review
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

European Solidarity Centre
Mentioned on
Museum
Archive
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.

Lake Malta

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

Botanical garden
Nature & Parks
The Berlin-Dahlem Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum is a sprawling 126-acre botanical garden that originated as the kitchen and herb garden of the Royal Palace in 1679. It houses over 20,000 plant species from Europe, tropical, and subtropical regions. The Great Tropical House showcases diverse flora, while there are gardens dedicated to medicinal plants and marine/marsh plants. Visitors can also explore an arboretum, glasshouses, and a museum displaying archaeological finds.
The greenhouses are stunning! It's curated into geographical regions. There's rainforest and desert sections and it's very easy to walk through. The outdoor area is also really beautifully designed. Plenty of spaces to sit and have a picnic. You can lay on the grass in some areas too. They have a cafe and bar area so you can get snacks and drinks. The garden is huge too, so you can easily spend half a day here. Amazing.

You could spend a whole day here! It is absolutely gorgeous and so peaceful. I always try to go to a botanical garden when I travel. I spent about 4 hours here strolling the grounds and greenhouses. My favorite area was the pond with all the lily pads and chatty frogs. I highly recommend visiting if you have the time.
Botanical Garden & Museum Berlin – A Deep Breath of Nature
This garden is more than a green space — it’s a living story of the earth. Each path and greenhouse reveals a new layer of nature’s beauty.
From giant palm trees and alpine flowers to rare medicinal herbs, the diversity is stunning. The tropical greenhouses are a true escape, especially in winter, filled with orchids, ferns, and plants from across the globe.
The museum adds context with fascinating exhibitions on plant life, culture, and evolution.
Whether you’re a botanist, photographer, or just looking for peace, this place is worth every visit.
Very nice botanical garden. They're more focused on displaying regions and their plant life, than on "look, this is a pretty garden". They for example recreated the Alps on a scale of 1:10,000. Nevertheless, they do have some very pretty areas.
Mesmerizingly beautiful and lush, Berlin Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum is one of Berlin's somewhat underrated gems. Admission is very reasonable, with children under 14 getting in for free and adult tickets being at 10 euros. An absolute highlight of our visit was an elegant and curious red fox 🦊that kept reappearing. As if we got a bonus admission to a zoo🤪 Fun memories to behold!
Berlin is a beautiful city, but it can be a little bleak with the history, but this amazing botanical garden and greenhouse complex erases the bad mojo. Definitely the highlight of my few days in Berlin. Should not be missed if you come here, whatever the season.
Lovely place overall. You can walk around for several hours. Very big area. There's a lot of to see. Easy to find also toilets and it's very clean.
Great place with very unique flora. Was lucky to get there for this unique giant flower - info on the photo.
The only unfortunate thing is that you can’t use ticket for a day, it’s only for one entrance. Hopefully this will be changed in the future. Otherwise - amazing place!

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.
Tomasz M — Google review
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

At the entrance, a welcoming entrance with an airy crypt with heating. On the first floor there was a film that explains the entire history from the origins in the early 1800s to the present day. Viewing is recommended. Then you climb up to the first internal cornice, which is very overhanging. You then climb to the upper floors, and then you reach the first external cornice located under the feet of the statues that can be seen from outside. You can take the elevator up to that level. From there, you climb to the highest part of the building with a very narrow but well-made stone staircase. A visit is recommended to better understand the history of the city.
Full adult ticket price €12
A stunning monument that witnessed through its history empires, kingdoms and republics coming and going….
A must see by everyone who loves history!
Fabulous views to the city as well as relaxing beautiful park!
Great experience with a rich history. I chose a non audio self tour and would highly recommend this. It's a place of reflection and would rather go undisturbed. The staircase to the top is steep though. Just so you know 😉
If you had only one thing to do in Leipzig, please visit this place. This monument is the tallest in all of Europe and it commemorates the war that broke Napoleon. No tickets required
This intense and impressive monument is a MUST SEE if you are in Leipzig. The scale is stunning and is reminiscent of the Mines of Moria in Lord of the Rings. There are multiple lifts but if you want to get to the top viewing area, you have to use the stairs and it is a little walk. No bad, but most people emerged a little winded and sweaty. The sweeping views of Leipzig are great and, if you go on a sunny day, you can see many miles/kilometers in every direction. Highly recommended.
A really impressive monument. It really makes you feel the enormity of the event being memorialized much like the World War I monument in Kansas City. There was a feeling of heaviness about the monument and it made me feel retrospective. A very nice visit. A stroll through the cemetery nextdoor is also warranted.
the monument to the battle of the nations in leipzig is a massive, seriously impressive monument commemorating napoleon's defeat in the 1813 battle. it's one of europe's largest, and you can climb to the top for panoramic views of leipzig. inside, the huge stone figures are really powerful. it's a bit outside the city center but easily reached by tram and definitely worth a visit for its history and scale

Architectural Buildings
Promenaden Hauptbahnhof Leipzig is not your average train station. It's a bustling 3-story complex with over 140 shops, cafes, and grocery markets. The dramatic architecture adds to the charm of this major local transport hub. With around 150 different shops and stores, many of which remain open until late on weekdays, it's a shopper's paradise. The restored Promenade nearby offers a pleasant contrast to other areas of the city and is worth exploring.
Leipzig Hauptbahnhof is a bustling transportation hub that seamlessly blends historic architecture with modern amenities. Its impressive design, efficient layout, and numerous shops and restaurants make it a convenient and enjoyable place to travel through. However, it can get quite busy at peak times, so be prepared for crowds. Overall, it's a well-maintained and functional station that serves as a gateway to Leipzig and beyond.

Biggest train stations in Europe lots of stores and restaurants to choose from that are mostly all good plus a lot of railways definitely a place to visit for tourists from Germany or other countries.
Good street food restaurants ,a nice place to pause in between travels !
The largest in Europe.. 😍 Best train station I have been! 👌 With multiple railways and connecting Trips to offer.. A Subway can also be found in this big trainstation... And no worry for having a long connecting Trips, a mall is also within the Station. Various Restaurants and Shops available..
So far the nicest Bahnhof I've seen in Germany, always busy with people passing through and people just coming to shop. As it houses so many great stores to shop in over 3 levels with so many things to see and amazing food options. You can't come to leipzig without seeing it as it is the main train station. Even made more lovely around Christmas or as they say Weinachten, as lots more food stalls open up.
This station is very big, but it is really easy to find the way. Electronic devices such as ticket machines, th
e screens are well thought and useful
Super convenient, many shops.
The architecture is very impressive too.
At the same time, it's noisy, it's crowded. Well, it's a railway station after all.
Beautiful Christmas decorations inside of the building, which adds up to the uniqueness of the historical building.

Zoo Leipzig

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Zoo Leipzig is a top destination in Germany, offering an immersive experience for visitors to observe 850 different animal species in habitats that closely resemble their natural environments. From watching elephants swim through an underwater glass wall to encountering black howler monkeys and playful penguins, the zoo provides a diverse range of experiences. Visitors can also explore themed areas such as the tropical Gondwanaland, home to Germany's only Komodo Dragon, and the unique Pongoland featuring various primate species.
Leipzig Zoo is hands down the best zoo I’ve ever been to – just go! The area is massive and beautifully designed, with tons of space to explore. The animals are surprisingly close, and there’s an amazing variety – I saw species I’d never even heard of before. There are plenty of spots to grab food or a drink along the way, which makes the whole visit super chill. The highlight for me was the tropical hall *Gondwanaland* – a huge indoor rainforest with its own climate. It’s seriously impressive and makes the whole experience feel really unique.

This Is the most amazing zoo I've ever been to. It's so big with the kids. We could only see a portion of it, but the jungle experience especially with the boat ride was so cool. All of the exhibits are wonderful. I would highly recommend to anyone to visit the zoo. Easily one of the best zoos in the world.
Beautiful zoo with a rich variety of animals and habitats! Especially Gondwanaland was amazing giving you the feeling of actually being in the jungle!( don’t forget to get on the little boat trip, super cheap and worth the experience). Love, Greece!!!🇬🇷❤️
Leipzig Zoo is one of the best zoos I‘ve ever visited. Large enclosures. Many events throughout the day. Amazing infrastructure (you can find maps, sign posts, and directions for a tour that leads you through the entire zoo everywhere).
They also don’t solely focus on the animals as mere entertainment but seek to inform kids in playful ways about preservation/biology/even physics in the aquarium.
Leipzig Zoo also provides a variety of restaurants and snack bars that are evenly distributed across the entire Zoo.
I wholly recommend visiting, whether alone or with friends and family. It’s an amazing and informative experience!
Best zoo in Germany especially with huge greenhouse of tropical forest and self moving boats along river with warm climate. Highly recommended for both adults and children alike
This zoo park was fantastic. I would recommend this to everyone. There is so much to see and you should have water with you because food and water prices there is too expensive. WC is free which is very good. And I suggest you guys to go early there, zoo opens at 9 am and closes at 7pm. As I mentioned earlier there is lot to see so you probably will need some rest. And one good thing about this zoo park is that you see animals without any borders and it is kind of crazy but it is safe. So enjoy with your trip everyone.
Zoo Leipzig is a great place to visit with kids. The grounds are very clean with almost no smell, and there are nice play and climbing facilities for children. A fun and family-friendly zoo experience!
This zoo is arguably the best in Europe. The animals have the freedom to roam, creating a more natural environment, and plenty of dining options are available. Don’t miss the chance to watch the monkeys and explore Gondwanaland. It's truly a fantastic spot for some quality time with your children.

Hot Spring Colonnade
Mentioned on
Nature & Parks
Hot Springs & Geysers
Vřídelní kolonáda, also known as the Sprudl Colonnade, is a concrete structure built above natural hot springs in Karlovy Vary. The best-known spring, Vridlo, is the hottest at 72°C and shoots water up to 12 meters high at a pressure that releases 2000 liters per minute. This geyser and four other springs can be sampled for free inside the functionalist building from the 70s.
A beautiful city, the place is very special. Of course, you can't heal or strengthen your health from a single visit to these springs, but the experience of feeling and connection when I walk from spring to spring and taste the water that important people from all over Western and Eastern Europe drank, for hundreds of years, this experience is very special.
You don't have to taste all the springs, but you can ask people which springs are best to taste in order to get an impression. I also bought the famous glass with a straw on which all the springs of the place are written. And now this glass stands in a vase as a memory of my visit to this special place
Elisha L — Google review
The Hot Spring Colonnade is home to Vřídlo—the hottest and most famous spring in Karlovy Vary, and usually the first stop on the town’s "spa trail." The water here reaches an impressive 74.4°C and shoots up as a powerful geyser inside the glass building. ⛲️
While the spring itself is fascinating, I’m giving it 4 stars mainly because of the building’s heavy, almost communist-era vibe—something a few other visitors have also pointed out. That said, it’s still a must-see. You can also learn some interesting facts inside—like how the local mineral water is used to produce unique stone souvenirs by letting minerals slowly solidify over time.
Definitely worth a quick visit as part of your spa town experience!
A fascinating spot to discover in Karlovy Vary! This landmark is not only part of the city’s rich history but also one of its highlights. The hottest spring reaches 72°C, shooting up to nearly 10 meters high. Built in the 19th century with a filtration system, the water here can be safely enjoyed straight from the source. It’s an experience you shouldn’t miss – just remember to bring a cup!
Kind of small shopping mall with hot spring fountain/geyser but manmade ? Not so sure
The water from spring is hot and a bit frizzy with limestone and natural mineral.
Refreshing
Local vendors selling jewellery and ceramics
Good place for hot summer
One of the most unique places to see the natural spring water in the world! Bring one of those cups they have and take a sip.
Free entry and amazing to see the active hot springs, you can bring your own cup to have a taste of the hot spring water…. Yes it is strong 💪🏻
A very iconic and “must-see” place, been here 3-4 times that I can remember and each of the people I went with were usually wowed, including myself
Karlovy Vary is a super peaceful little hilly town with beautiful landscape. Super amazing place..so many hot springs..do not forget to take a vessel with u to drink that natural mineral water.. it's tingy but good for health. Beautiful cafes along the river Tepla serving great food.

Diana Observation Tower
Mentioned on
Observation deck
Outdoor Activities
The Diana Observation Tower, also known as the Dianaturm, is a 35-meter-tall tetragonal brick structure built in 1914. It offers breathtaking views of Karlovy Vary and its surroundings, with visibility extending up to 70 kilometers on clear days. Visitors can reach the tower by taking well-marked trails from the town center or enjoying a short funicular railway ride.
Diana Observation Tower is a great spot for panoramic views over Karlovy Vary. You can either hike up or take the funicular, which runs (at least in summer) every 15 minutes. Funicular is located right next to the Grandhotel Pupp.
Once you reach the top, the tower is just a few steps away. There’s even an elevator inside, so you don’t need to climb the stairs—especially nice on a hot day. From the top, you get stunning views of the city and the surrounding forest. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town! 🗼

Diana Observation Tower is a must-see attraction in Karlovy Vary! Not only does it offer stunning panoramic views of the city and surrounding forests, but the entire area is peaceful and beautifully maintained. After enjoying the scenery from the top, you can relax at one of the lovely cafés nearby — a perfect place to sip coffee, enjoy a snack, and take in the fresh mountain air. A truly delightful experience for nature lovers and travelers alike!
Well worth it. Take a lift or take a short walk. The view from the tower is absolutely fantastic. Expect heavy wind, take a jumper.
Beautiful observation tower with restaurant below and a mini zoo. You can ride the Diana funicular from Kolonáda directly to here. You can also hike the hill with 1.1 km moderate trail.
The Diana Observation Tower is one of the most beautiful spots in Karlovy Vary! The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking — you can see the entire town surrounded by lush green hills. The ride up by funicular is scenic and relaxing, and there’s a lovely forest walk if you prefer hiking. The café near the tower is cozy and perfect for a short break. A must-visit place for anyone coming to Karlovy Vary!
Beautiful 360 degree view of the region.
There's also a small, budget-friendly kiosk selling street food and drinks in front of the tower. If
you don't have any serious limitations, I suggest getting a one-way ticket. Take the funicular up and walk down while enjoying the view. Observation tower itself is free. You pay for the funicular.
Beautiful walk, you can also owe the monorail to go up and the tower has an elevator. I drank a beer at the restaurant down. And visited the butterflies museum!
Beautiful way to look at Karlovy Vary. Keep in mind that during fall/winter times fog is a quite often guest so you won't see much till around midday. Worth visiting, free and well-maintained observation point with a restaurant nearby

Kolonáda Maxima Gorkého
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Kolonáda Maxima Gorkého is an iconic and stunning colonnade that epitomizes the essence of Marienbad. Its architecture, reminiscent of Carlsbad colonnade, exudes a feminine charm in its design and accents. Despite being surrounded by shops, it remains a beautiful historical site that adds to the city's character. The hall within houses several shops and restaurants, making it an interesting place to visit.
Lovely place, I enjoyed it so much. Worth visiting for the E song. Very quite and beautiful place. Streams are very rich on Iron and worth trying.

Three sources to get magnesium extra doses and more…Edward cafe is very chic but you can also get a bottle of Don Perignon for 25.000csk a bit further down in the next cafeteria further down in the city.
Fancy little kiosks in the source drink hall, cash point, great body care natural products for a gift, historical reference source beautifully presented with a modern interior. All we missed was a proper restaurant nearby: only coffee, ice cream and maybe minor snacks don’t fit the beautiful view - where is a great lunch/dinner place nearby if it s not in one of the hotels which do not offer the view????
Beautiful place with amazing architecture and a really peaceful atmosphere. The musical fountain was closed during our visit, which was a bit disappointing, but overall I still liked it a lot. Great spot for a walk and try different spring waters.
Very beautiful and highly recommended to visit but before coming to this place you need to choose with whom!
Under renovation but still very nice to visit.
Iconic and yet very gorgeous colonnade which represents the whole Marienbad. It is very similar like Carlsbad colonnade and what is very cute, that u can feel, that it is feminine-like architecture in its form and architectural accent. It is not worse nor bad, it is simply Marienbad icon, which represents the character of this place. The only thing which is bit sad is the flooring, which should be reconstructed and changed to some marble, limestone or other much higher quality material that will last. But by the end of the day, still beautiful.
Beautiful citi with so much history. We stayed at hotel Bohemia. Our stay was fabulous. Breakfast is included and it is tasty. Did not take pictures but they even include barista on premises.
Very nice historical place disturb by shops around a little bit according to me

Fountain
Sights & Landmarks
The Singing Fountain, also known as Zpivajici Fontana, is a popular tourist attraction featuring over 250 water jets that dance to classical and popular music. Lit up after dark, the fountain offers seasonal displays with hourly performances throughout the day and evening. Built as part of the reconstruction of the Maxim Gorky Promenade in the 1980s, this architectural marvel was designed by Pavel Miksik and features specially composed music by Petr Hapka.
This fountain, embedded in the spa gardens, is uniquely magnificent and touching.
It comes to life every odd hour, plays music and creates a unique water display.
We were completely amazed and blown away.
The flowers and the harmonious planting of the promenade and of course the Kursaal are also very worth seeing.
One of the most magnificent spa towns I have ever seen.

The musical fountain was opened in May 2025 after reconstruction. It is very beautiful. We were there at 7 pm.
One of the most interesting attractions. Beautiful place and par around. In summer the best option is to go there after dark, because you will see a light show, not just music
Set in a beautiful park with statues and fountains this would have been the icing on the cake but unfortunately it stopped on 1st September and doesn’t start up again until next May.
Great to see this fountain working after couple of years being repaired and improved. Good shows with music are played every few hours.
A very good fountain, if fountains are your thing! It sings every odd hour and has a variety of sequences.
Pretty park and colonnade. Nice Light show in the evening.
Really lovely experience. Performances on the hour apart from 8pm (20.00).
There was quite a crowd for the 21.00 show so get there about 15 mins earlier.
Would recommend the after dark shows.

I didn't have time to visit the inside, which apparently is also quite amazing. However it is beautifully combined in the park with cascades from the water front. Especially interesting are the sides which look like they are carved from stone.

the old summer residence for the Magrave famous couple and the local rulers. only visited by guided tour. water game at the beginning and then a series of rooms inside which paintings and antiquities are available to see. in each room an employee tell you the story of the room design but you're free also to discover it alone and take pictures.
I visited on a rainy Friday morning and walked virtually alone through the vast gardens, awestruck with the beauty of man, nature and time. Among the highlights are striking allees flanked by hornbeam hedges, some quite mature. Beautiful walks, water features, flower plantings, mature tree specimens, linden promenades. Meticulously cultivated and worthy, worthy, worthy of your time.
Perfect attraction for even a difficult traveller. Unfortunately we visited this extremely beautiful place on a raining day but the beauty of it can't stop us unconditionally enjoying our very good time with the nature and manaficent design.
The outside green field and garden are beautiful and free. But you must go into the palace. It is a hidden gem.
A beauty. Once must visit. Really nice guides and palace. But visit during June July months to get entry into more rooms of the palace
You need to get tickets for the tour of the castle and the tour is 1h long, but really worth it. The lady, who was our tour guide was excellent. She really transported us back in time while telling us the important stories of the palace. The 1 hour flew by. The palace is not like your usual palace, but it feels more like a residence / home with hidden secrets. I definately recommend booking a tour (we had the tour in German). It is also not that expensive.
Beautiful park which you can visit for free. Recommend 👍

The Old Stone Bridge, also known as Steinerne Brucke, is a historic medieval bridge in Regensburg, Germany. Constructed in the 1100s in Romanesque style, it spans 300m over the Danube River with its impressive 16 arches. For over 800 years, it served as the city's sole river crossing and played a crucial role in trade and government activities.
Visited on Sunday and was so busy at that time on the bridge. so stunning views and the wind come from the Danube river make so much of a pretty environment there. The perfect place to stay and enjoy your vacation day. The river bank of the Danube is so stunning in the afternoon.

Regensburg is a charming old city and this bridge is its emblem. It was built over 800 years ago. It offers splendid sights over the Danube. Lots of people go there, as well as on a picnic around it on the banks of the river. There are ducks living around too.
Regensburg is a romantic and a very beautiful city. The bridge area is a very dynamic area with a lot of people, many souvenir shops, terraces of all kinds. The atmosphere in summer is super pleasant.
A beautiful bridge built in the Middle Ages with many arches across the Danube river. On both side of the river are the many tourist attractions and eateries. We came during some kind of festival and so fun to see so many people dressed up in the traditional clothings.
A car free bridge for pedestrians and bicyclists offers a spectacular view of the city. This 12th century bridge faces the Danube. It’s even more stunning at night.
Go on a Sunday. It's less touristy and you can do a short walk for just about an hour around the place, take good photos and leave for other towns nearby.
It's one of the sightseeing sites you shouldn't miss once you're in Regensburg. Lovely, mediaeval bridge crossing the Danube.
We visited Regensburg for the 2024 Christmas market season. The old town is very walkable. We were able to visit all the Christmas markets on foot including the small market just across the bridge. We had the best pork sandwich with horseradish at this tiny market. One of the best things we ate during our 9 day Christmas market trip. Took this beautiful photo from the bridge.

St. Peter Cathedral, a magnificent example of High Gothic architecture, stands proudly in the heart of Regensburg, dominating the skyline with its impressive bell towers. Originally constructed around 700 and later rebuilt in 1273 after a fire, this stunning cathedral is not only an architectural marvel but also home to the renowned Regensburger Domspatzen choir.
Amazing place to Visit. Such an incredible architectural work. But if you need to go inside, you have to see their religious activities time. Because at that time doors were closed to the visitors.every thing was fine and tremendous work and were well maintained to the future generation.

St. Peter’s Cathedral is absolutely breathtaking. The Gothic architecture is stunning, with soaring spires, intricate stonework, and beautiful stained glass windows that create a peaceful, awe-inspiring atmosphere inside. It’s hard not to be impressed by the history and craftsmanship. Even if you’re not typically into churches, this one is worth the stop. It’s right in the heart of Regensburg, so very easy to visit while exploring the old town. Highly recommend taking a few quiet moments inside—truly a highlight of the city.
Massive pure Gernan gothic church that was built from the end of the 13th to the beginning of the 16th century using the architecture of French cathedrals as an example.
The inside is dark and has beautiful details like the silver altar. The stained glass windows from the 13th and 14th century are impressive and the most extensive, still preserved, collection of medieval stained glass in the German-speaking world.
An interesting detail was a large waterwell with a hoist and bucket inside the church which was used as a secure source of water for the clergy, cathedral staff and cleaning.
The cathedral is truly impressive! A magnificent structure that’s hundreds of years old. I can’t even say whether I liked it more from the outside or the inside. Every day in summer, the organ plays at noon, it’s absolutely amazing! An architectural masterpiece that definitely deserves attention. The only downside is that the exterior has been under renovation for many years.
Learned so much about German history from our Viking excursion to Regensburg Cathedral. Stepping into this medieval masterpiece, we were instantly awed by its towering Gothic architecture and the sheer scale of the place. The amazing stained glass windows, glowing with centuries-old craftsmanship, were absolutely breathtaking. Our guide wove fascinating tales about the cathedral’s medieval sculptures and its historical significance as a key center of Christianity in Europe, making the past feel alive and vibrant.
The world’s largest hanging organ was a true marvel, suspended like something out of a dream, and its presence added to the cathedral’s awe-inspiring atmosphere. Learning about the Regensburg bishopric’s influence gave us a deeper appreciation for the city’s role in shaping European history. This cathedral is a must-see for anyone visiting Regensburg—its beauty and stories will leave you speechless. Highly recommend making time for this incredible landmark!
Great experience. Today was the 75 anniversary of Caritas and St. Josef Hospital celebrated with bishop Rudolf and former cathedral choir member (Regensburger Domspatzen). Usually the holy mass is starting on Sundays at 10 a.m. Be early enough there to get a place!
Our tour guide told us this cathedral is always under some kinds of construction in one form or another 🤣
While we were here the towers were in repair and there’s a choir outside make Ng beautiful music.
Incredible cathedral in the heart of Regensburg. Beautiful architecture and stained glass windows. Free entry.
