A truly unique architectural gem in Magdeburg, designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser and completed in 2005, shortly after his death. The building breaks away from conventional architecture with its irregular forms and rooftop gardens. While visually striking, the interior spaces—especially the shops and hotel—could benefit from more curated content that reflects Hundertwasser’s philosophy. In many ways, it feels like a cousin to Gaudí’s works in Barcelona, though on a much smaller and more commercial scale.

It’s a very special building, several shops, cofe shop on the first floor. If you want to go to the top, have to buy ticket at information place and people bring you inside every hour. We don’t have time this trip, but only the ground floor, very interesting shops a lot!

What a beautiful building! Walked around the outside and went into the inside gardens. Stunning!

Amazing building that despite its weirdness fits amazingly well in to the historic buildings nearby. A coincidence seeing it as we more or less stumbled across it while stopping in Magdeburg for lunch. It is well worth a detour if you're not to far away.

A beautiful architectural masterpiece by Hundertwasser. Fascinating, unique, something you have to see. Variety of shapes. Use the tour with a guide to get complete information. Nice cafe and shops.

Special architecture - on the fridge magnets found in souvenir shops. Possible to go around and into the courtyard.

We took the tour (which was almost hourly during the weekend) which was surprisingly interesting. We learned a lot of cool and interesting facts about Hundertwasser and got to explore the different rooftop areas of the building. The Japanese restaurant on the ground floor is also worth a stop :)

Pretty church, the time we come in just has people speech, and then the organ play music. This area rear has Asia people, they speak Germany for sure, so I can’t really understand inside cultural relics. Plus you have to pay 2 euro if you want to take photos, so I put my cell phone ( translator) in bag. Buy post cards instead.

Magdeburg is a charming city with a rich history and a pleasant atmosphere for visitors. Known for its impressive Gothic Magdeburg Cathedral (Dom zu Magdeburg), it’s a must-visit for anyone interested in architecture and history. The Elbe River adds a serene vibe to the city, perfect for riverside walks. The city combines medieval charm with modern amenities, offering great parks like the Elbauenpark and cultural sites such as the Jahrtausendturm. It’s not too crowded, making it an ideal destination for a peaceful yet enriching experience in Germany.

No tickets for entering but if you want to take photo there is a 2 euro fee.

If you’re a history fan, you’re going to love this place. The stories about the history of the cathedral itself and King Otto are interesting. But for those who are more amazed by architectures, not really a bucket-list material. But I guess you’ll drop by because this is the no.1 sightseeing spot in Magdeburg. Oh by the way, it’s two euros to take photos inside. I would consider this as a donation to maintain this robust structure. Enjoy!

Gorgeous. A fun fact: The Magdeburger Dom is the oldest gothic cathedral in all of Germany!!! The people here are incredibly kind. And the outside is just as beautiful as the inside. I highly recommend taking some time to walk in a circle around the entire complex; you will thank me later!!! :)

The place is really good. There are two nearby houses on which vines and Ivy has grown which looks really amazing. The Elbe river is just 100 meter's from this Cathedral. One can walk along the bank of the Elbe river too. There are many nearby good restaurants too and the tram station is near too. One can reach the Cathedral within 10 minutes from the nearest tram station.

Huge. Dark. Impressive. Beautiful. A must-see when visiting Magdeburg. The high towers are a landmark that can be seen from far away already. Go inside and get lost beneath the perfectly crafted gothic construction which reaches high up into the sky. If you get lucky you might be hearing the organist doing some rehearsals.

Arche Nebra exhibition about the discovery of the 'Himmelsscheibe' or Sky Disc. Has recently been updated and upgraded. Family ticket €23 - 2 adults and 2 children (7 / 8). Spent about 2 hours here including VR experience and planetarium. Audio guides available for the main exhibition, but since a recent upgrade to the planetarium, not available in other languages, so would wait until they have sorted this out if your first language is not German. Check on the website or contact in advance to find out. Some interactive elements for children. Would be good to have a craft area to make the sky disc. Would be good to have a treasure hunt for younger children. Happy to support this if required. There was a colouring book on a table downstairs, but it was not yet available for purchase. The children's book was a bit difficult language-wise and the simple language book more for adults. This is a great place to visit and when the language guides are fully up and running for the planetarium part, then can recommend for all visitors from around the world. It is a bit out of the way, but easily located with a free car park at the foot of the hill. Disabled people and those with low mobility can be driven to the entrance. Only steps are down into the planetarium seating area, but possibly enough space for a wheelchair to remain at the back. Lift to toilets and all floors. Cafe closed Mondays and Fridays.

nice place too visit good walking an 🚵‍♀️

Waste of time and money, with one good thing. Modern history of the Disc starts with robbery, and they do keep up the tradition! The entrance is 9,50 euros, on top of time and money spent to get to the place, which is in middle of nowhere. The Disc itself is in Prehistory Museum in Halle (at 10 euros MUCH more worth it), so if you want to see the actual thing don't bother to go to Nebra. If you don't speak German, don't go either - they are so unprepared for foreign visitors it's ridiculous. I did get an English audioguide, after being talked to in German despite my protestations in three languages that I don't speak it. The English version has a fraction of information a German speaking person would get (about 1/6, judging by info about other bronze age artifacts found on site). The info you do get is oversimplified. There isn't a single word of written English in entire place. The only good thing is that one can handle a replica of the disc. The replica doesn't look much like original, but it's a relatively minor drawback for the site.

Expensive, small, bad organized, only in german. There are so much interesting about the sky-disk - and this museum does not tell anything. And long walk from parking to location.

Very interesting exhibition. Building and location, as well as the story behind the sky disc are really amazing. For English explanations you can get headphones. Descriptions in other languages would be better though.

Small by very nice. Nice environment and it’s good for a small trip.

Love it.

Museum about the prehistory of the region. The main focus is the Nebra solar disk. But it has a lot of other very interesting prehistoric pieces. If you are in Halle (Saale) Go visit this museum.

Absolutely wonderful artefacts BUT!!! All text is in german so we foreigners are kept out. No brochure for the different floors. This could be easily helped by asking a highschool class to translate all the information on each floor to english and then have them set a QR code next to each text. I am so intreaged by all this interesting history but feel cheated since my german is not good enough to understand the information in german. I asked if they had audial information in english but- no. Why?

The museum is very modern with great atmosphere, exhibits and stories. The price is small. The panels are mostly in English for mid sized displays, with some English for overview info only.

Such an interesting and well-curated exhibition - you can spend several hours here. The only negative was that several staff members were rather unfriendly, especially in the Café and gift shop.

Wonderful museum that is packed with unique artefacts mainly from the prehistoric periods (although later periods are also covered). For prehistorians, it is a paradise place! The Nebra sky disc is of course amazing, but I'd say I enjoyed even more some of the other exhibits, eg. the Shamanin's room and the early figurines. Thank you for providing at least the main information in English, it would be nice if more of the information was translated!

We been thrilled by this beautiful museum and the way how history and science is presented! This is one of the top museums and I can highly recommend to take some time and enjoy. We been there for 6h and easily could stay for 2 more.

Great experience. A typical traditional museum where the visitor is a passive observer. The only thing personal in Museum have to think about is the fact that some visitors are not German speakers and that it would be great to put English language notes under the exhibits. Suggestion for the first time visitors: start with top flour of the Museum.

Unusual cathedral with two choirs and some intriguing features from as late as the 1980s. I'd recommend getting an audio guide (included with the tickets) in order to appreciate the many details, though in English at least, it is a bit pompous (hence the 4 stars). There are some fantastic gargoyles visible from the garden.

Beautiful place to see. Take some time there is quite a bit to explore. Try some singing at the crypt. The sound is amazing.

A masterpiece. A breathtaking example of Romanesque architecture with treasures of gothic sculptures in it. A must visit place. My favourite cathedral in all of Germany.

Felt like i went to gallery. So many details.. its like hide and seek. I could stay whole day in here. Very inspiring. Please go also the little garden. Its so peaceful.

Extremely rich architecture. We had the privilege of a one hour guided tour and learned a lot about the history of the dome, the unusual case of the founder figures, the narrow path to paradise, why you say "Buch aufschlagen" (to "beat open a book") in German for opening a book and many more details to understand what was going on for centuries behind these walls. An absolute must visit.

Probably one of Germanys gem!! The world's oldest Organ is definitely a sight and sound to be enjoyed. Architecture is just amazing!!

A very interesting church with an interesting history. The art in the church is unique and striking. The cathedral itself is worth a day trip to see this beautifully preserved 1,000 year old World Heritage Site. Sadly, the cathedral is about the only thing worth seeing in Naumburg. We were there on a Saturday and the town rolls up the sidewalk at noon except for a few cafes near the cathedral.

A must see when you are around in Halle with kids. Easy to reach by tram directly from the main station. (3 stops only) We found the concept awesome! This is the oldest chocolate factory in Germany with very impressive history and flair. You can even taste different sorts of pralines. The factory store is great and staff is very friendly. Ideally to buy some gifts😀. Highly recommended and anytime again.

Great museum for both children and adults. Delicious chocolate and reasonable price

This factory is located about 20 minutes away from the train station in Halle (by foot). The shop is big and offers good prices and products you can't always find in supermarkets.

Chocolate for factory price, I'm in! Big discount on pralines, especially the bags of 500g, about 5€ for 500g instead of 10€! Really nice service, put our products in our bags for us :)

Nice museum. Reasonable prices. Warm welcome.

An interesting place to visit. I liked the chocolate museum but think it might benefit from becoming a bit more interactive. Being able to look at the sweet stuff being produced rocks. The factory outlet is great as well.

Great museums with a chocolate room, and it is possible to see how the chocolate is produced. The store offers a lot of chocolate products extremely low price

A Masterpiece of Vision: A Review of the Bauhaus Dessau My recent visit to the Bauhaus building in Dessau, Germany, was more than just a tour; it was a journey into a living monument of architectural and educational history. The experience profoundly illustrated the singular vision of one man, Walter Gropius, who, against incredible odds, brought the modern art and design movement to life. It is nothing short of astonishing to consider how he single-handedly managed to fund, design, and create the entire institutional framework, all while navigating the tumultuous political landscape between the two world wars. The moment you step into the building, you are immediately struck by its revolutionary design. The famous staircase, the sun-drenched workshops, and the seamless integration of various functions speak to Gropius's genius. I was particularly moved by visiting his personal office, located in the bridge connecting the two main buildings. This space, a hub of creativity and leadership, felt like the very heart of the movement. Seeing the workshops where masters and students collaborated, and the student hostel where they lived and breathed art, brought the curriculum to life. The building is a manifesto in itself, a physical embodiment of Gropius’s belief in the unity of art and technology. The self-sufficiency of the institution is a testament to Gropius's strategic mind. He devised a curriculum that drew students from around the world, creating a vibrant, international community. He hand-picked a legendary faculty, including Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, and created a marketing machine to attract global talent. This was all done while facing immense political pressure and shifting ideologies, which ultimately led to the school's closure. Despite these challenges, Gropius’s unwavering commitment ensured that the Bauhaus's influence would endure. The tour is incredibly well-curated, and I highly recommend taking it to truly appreciate the scale of this achievement. The theater, the student cafeteria, and even the gift shop—which is filled with beautiful designs—all contribute to an experience that is both educational and deeply inspiring. For anyone with an interest in art, architecture, or history, the Bauhaus Dessau is a must-see. It's a powerful reminder that with clear vision and relentless determination, one person can shape the course of history.

Amazing! This place was a world leader and is symbollic and of the modern movement in architecture and design in Europe in the 1900s. Celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. It has been restored, true to the original design after being closed by the racist regime of the 1930s. Well worth the visit for architects and designers.

Must-see for those interested in modernism and architecture as a whole. You can roam a part of the building freely. However, all classrooms and the entire student flats block are sadly inaccessible for visitors (except if you book a night in a flat!). The shop has a great selection of souvenirs. The workers were warm and friendly.

The ticket for Bauhaus+Museum+Master's Houses is 27€ and it's completely worth it. The place is amazing, and the temporary exhibitions are always really good. Will visit again!

This is a simply fabulous historic building. Once the home of the revolutionary Bauhaus School and designed by Walter Gropius it stands as a memorial to an innovative school that only survived from 1919-1933 but had a huge impact on architecture and design across the whole world.

This place, showcasing the architecture and arts of legends, can inspire you for years. Revisiting this historical place that changed the world evokes an amazing feeling.

Mmmmm I love the bahhaus movement and the art from that time, but the institute itself doesnt do much for me. The exhibitions inside are about the history of the buildin; its beginnings, its time during nazi rule, its reconstruction, and its preservation. Another one focused on the design of one of the bauhaus styled lights. Both were interesting but I was hoping to simply see more bauhaus art (go to the museum for that). The structure itself, while iconic, didnt do much for me either. I think when it was built, it would have been revolutionary. I did love seeing the bauhaus styled lamps irl though :)

Panels with maps of the garden and open toilets would be required. Maybe a bridge over the lake from the info center (joking on this one, but access is difficult). The gardens are beautiful in any season.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Gartenreich Dessau-Wörlitz twice—first in the cold spring, and most recently on a sunny Sunday this July. Each visit offered a completely different atmosphere, revealing new layers of beauty and charm. My first impression of the park in spring was nothing short of magical. There were fewer people, which made it easy to get lost in the serenity. Coming back this summer, I expected a livelier experience—and it absolutely delivered. The park was in full bloom, vibrant and lush. Flowers framed every pathway, and the canals sparkled under the sun. There were more visitors and some couples on gondola rides. I loved how alive everything felt, but not overcrowded. Wildlife was more present too: birdsong, dragonflies, and even a stork sighting! Both visits were unique and rewarding in their own ways. Spring is perfect for peaceful, introspective walks, while summer is ideal for soaking in the full vibrancy of the landscape and enjoying the social, cultural side of the park. The Gartenreich truly lives up to its name—a garden kingdom where nature, history, and beauty meet across seasons.

Amazing place! Even if its raining:) A trip for everyone, with children, dog. To walk around the lake it can take from 1 hour up to a few hours (depending on how long will you stay at each view point, if you visit the island by ferry etc.) You can shorten the trip taking a ferry (cost for adult 1 EUR, child 0.5 EUR).

The Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Realm, is a cultural landscape and World Heritage Site in Germany, located between the city of Dessau and the town of Wörlitz in Central Germany.

Amazing park. There are another parks and castles in the area also recomendable.

Pretty awesome place! You will need the whole day if you want to go through the whole part. Worth the day for sure!

Gorgeous park for a picnic on a day out!

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.

Beautiful church with stained glass windows. We had the pleasure of attending a musical showcase with the Thomanerchor Leipzig. This was such an amazing experience. When visiting remember to also look up at the domed roof and admire the small intricate designs.

Bach's church where he worked and lived, and is buried. This is a must-see If you are in Leipzig. The interior is beautiful with stained glass and various carvings and ornamentation. The church and connected buildings are very large. I saw a couple school groups here.

Seeing Bach's church was the reason we came to Germany and it didn't disappoint, at least according to my Bachophile son. It was easy to buy tickets at the door and you could easily see the whole thing in 30 minutes. But very contemplative and it's fun to imagine history's greatest composer walking those same steps. I'd recommend bringing some headsets and Bach albums (although the museum next door had ample samples) as it was silent when we were there. There's a few interesting artifacts from Bach.

I visited this church in March, 2025. I was deeply moved to visit this church, so rich in history and positive energy. Moreover, I felt the timelessness of Bach’s notes resonating throughout the space. It was truly thrilling! 💖

Beautiful church with excellent comprehensive guide in English. Don't miss the Bach artefacts in the small room on the right of the main entrance. Interesting stained glass and contemporary Bach organ. For those following Martin Luther, there's a window of him with Frederick the Wise and Melanchthon.

st. thomas church (thomaskirche) in leipzig is famous for its music. it's where j.s. bach worked for 27 years and is buried. it's also home to the legendary st. thomas boys choir (thomanerchor) – try to catch their weekly performances (motets) if you can. it's a beautiful, historic church and a must-see for any music fan in leipzig

If you have interest in the history of J.S Bach & view his final resting place, Leipzig is the city you must visit. Visited the church on a weekday, not too crowded which makes it pleasant to walk around. Beautiful church with Cathedral glass design with J.S Bach & Mendelssohn.

Very pretty church inside, and amazing cold-war era history to it. In fact I think one of the Stasi has been working in the Church since the wall came down judging by his manner when I visited a few weeks ago. OK so I was taking a photo (apologies as I never realised that taking a picture of a building that is dedicated to a make-believe figure is disrespectful, and I don't remember seeing Thou Shalt Not Take Pictures In My Holy Buildings in the commandments when Charlton Heston brought them forth from high upon a Hollywood hill somewhere), but this guy was just plain self righteous and rude. Be polite, and treat us mere mortal sinners as human beings. We make mistakes so why not forgive us our trespasses. Hmmm....where have I heard that phrase before?

This church is deeply intertwined with history, offering a unique glimpse into the past. A must-visit for anyone interested in architecture and cultural heritage!

If you're visiting Leipzig, St. Nicholas Church is an absolute must-see. While it's historically and religiously significant, it's also an incredibly meaningful place in the history of music—making it especially memorable for those who love music and the arts. I’ve visited two years in a row to attend performances during the Bach Festival, and each time was a rich and unique experience thanks to the world-class music and the special atmosphere that only this venue can offer. Located right in the city center, the church is easily accessible and surrounded by plenty of other attractions and dining options within walking distance.

OK, I must confess that this is a place with a very specific focus (JS Bach) and purpose (to draw us into the life and music of Bach) - and I happen to be a Bach junkie. Having said that, it is a beautiful church and the Friday/Sunday concerts are excellent (and packed). It is helpful to realize, however, that everything is in German, and that Leipzigers are not as proficient in English as others in Europe.

While it feels strange to “rate” a church, I choose to do so in order to help maintain awareness of the importance of this church both as a place of worship and with its important place in music history. This is, after all, the church where Johan Sebastian Bach’s masterpiece, the St. John Passion, was first performed. During his many years of tenure in charge of the liturgical music for all of Leipzig’s churches at the time, Bach would have performed, directed the choir and written music for this church on numerous occasions.

It’s a highly historical place for the German reunification. It’s the place where protests were located and German people in the GDR gathered to stand up against the socialist regime. It’s a must see when in Leipzig! It’s free to visit but 3 Euro for pictures. It’s wonderfully renovated and colourful. Sometimes you even have the possibility to listen to concerts.

Beautiful church, which is best known for the weekly peace prayers that started during the Cold War and continue to this day. There is a small exhibition about this prayer movement.

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.

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

During the winter only the war memorial (only some printed information boards) exhibit and some sword, armour exhibits are available. From outside its beautiful and worth visiting. However i would not waste 5 euro for visiting inside to read printed boards and some bits and pieces (doors, keys, notebooks) of war prison. Visit outside the castle its gorgeous.

Wow this is an amazing spot. There was an opera fest when we visited so it gave a so special atmosphere. The castle itself is amazing with the unique spiral staircase. There are 3 exhibitions to see. It is absolutely worth visiting.

Great place to visit. My daughter was impressed by the bears in the bear pit. The Castle Church is free to visit. Also visit St. Mary’s just a few blocks away. Katie Luther is buried there.

Very interesting and beautiful castle. It costs 1 euro(only by 1 coin) to visit viewpoint on the top of the tower. Museum provide free entrance to exhibition.

Very nice place to visit. From the tower there will be a beautiful landscape to see, just have to pay 1 euro to get to the top but is a nice idea. The cafe in the spot have friendly staff that can advice you of what to see. The roads around are in good quality and a good Mach for motorcycles too. The decorated tower is really beautiful with well maintained ceramic figures.

Beautiful castle from the XVI century. It has different museums with itinerant expositions. One of them, regarding Germany history since second war, is free of charge.

Absolutely a beautiful place to visit!!

Reccomand going-in in overall interest in industry rather than cars, trains and similar sort of stuff since that is like 1/3 of the museum, rest being given to electronics, machining industry and sewing industry. I'd like to see more car industry present in future. I do not reccomand going in on sunday since the local caffee is closed. The souvenir shop has interesting stuff being sold there with a lot of Karl Marx merch which is eh.

A fascinating museum tracing the industrial development of Germany. In particularly it shows the role played in developing machine tools to speed up production. There are some great examples and also a huge working steam piston engine. One of the exhibits is a mummified man from the 1860s. He was a victim of an industrial accident when he fell into a tar pit. A bit grisly.

This is an excellent museum and a must-visit for anyone interested in German industrial heritage. The collection of machinery, especially the working steam engine, is truly impressive and a testament to the region's nickname, "Saxon Manchester." The building itself—a restored former foundry—is beautiful and adds to the authentic atmosphere. The exhibits are well-chosen, covering everything from historic textiles and machine tools to classic vehicles. We loved seeing the development of technology over two centuries. My reason for four stars instead of five: While the main artifacts speak for themselves, most of the detailed information and wall panels are solely in German. There are some English translations, but they are sparse and it really limits the experience for non-German speakers. Also, a few of the interactive displays were broken or unavailable during our visit. Overall: Highly recommended for the quality of the exhibits, but international visitors should be prepared to use a translation app or book a guided tour to get the full story. Great museum for adults and older children!

A very interesting museum showing how Chemnitz and Saxony have a long and important history in engineering and industry. A fine collection of exhibits charting the development from steam engines to modern 3D printing. One highlight is the hall of electric lighting!

I was not sure about the main space, it seem to lack an idea or narrative. Collection of items, somewhat random. But curious anyway.

Must visit place in Chemnitz. Amazing different type of machine from various generation. Interestingly some of the machine models and in working conditions. Kids can get lot of information about old technology which they haven’t seen in todays life.

There are lots of interesting devices, machines, motorcycles and cars on display. There's even a huge train inside. I even saw an old Dialysis machine. It was awesome. I'm so grateful to have good neighbors who showed me around and invited me to visit this museum.

A monument in memory of one of the people who have laid the foundations of politics or political ideologies that remain a guide till today. You would have read about Marxism in college and know a few about communism but revisiting these knowledge by visiting a monument laid for one of such that fought against capitalism gives a different perspective. It is Ok to conclude that Karl influenced societies even until today! Great historical place to be and the giant head figure makes you small when you want to take a picture underneath!!

Cool to see the massive Karl Marx head in Chemnitz. The monument is super striking, especially with the big wall of text behind it. Worth a quick stop if you’re in the area!

Much more impressive in person. Photos can’t capture its true scale and atmosphere. A must-see in Chemnitz.

This imposing bust dominates the centre of Chemnitz. The city of Chemnitz is located just between two major cities of Lepzig and Dresden, just one hour away by train or car. If you are a history fan, you should definitely make a stop there if you are traveling in the region. These kind of history pieces define the whole epoch and they are fewer of them left. This particular piece is so epic.

Impressive Karl Marx monument, great spot to see in Chemnitz.

Great place. It’s a kind of being thrown back in history… special feeling. And the statue, enormous!

Old and tradition part of Chemnitz Stadt

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

This place is incredible an absolutely stunning castle on the... I was lucky enough to be performing there as part of the magical music of Harry Potter Orchestra tour 👊🎶 and the town itself is absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy. I can recommend staying at goldenesfass guest house and spa. X the deatheater

Absolutely wonderful. The exhibitions are clear and educative. The castle itself was mesmerising. The lift and ramps are available for people with mobility issues. The tickets can be brought separately with audioguide.

Very well taken care of castle. Audio guide or visual tablet guide available. I chose the english audio guide but i couldn’t get the third floor codes to work. Lots to look at— the church itself has a separate price for entrance so make sure to buy both at once. Lockers provided with pfant. There are trails to walk around the exterior too which I recommend. Also lots of cool things to look at in town :)

Beautifully maintained. Interesting layout with living areas, working areas and local history / architecture display.

Audio tour or devices were available in the castle section to learn about the history in your language. Highly recommend it.

The most beautiful castle with gorgeous interiors, paintings and architecture. The castle, dom and town are exceed the expectations.

Cool to see the old building and wander the tour. I wish they had more artifacts in the castle.

This beautifully symmetrical palace, nestled in the middle of a man-made lake, exudes a charming yellow and white exterior that pays homage to the local style. Step inside and embark on a journey through time, exploring the palace’s rich history and the fascinating artifacts it houses. Take a leisurely stroll around the palace to capture a breathtaking 360-degree view, which won’t take much of your time. On the right side of the palace, you’ll find a staircase leading up to a hidden gem: a metal Cinderella shoe! This palace was the filming location for the Czech version of Cinderella, and ladies are welcome to try on the iconic sandal. Men might even want to give it a shot! This charming castle is a perfect destination for a quick and enjoyable visit.

Famous castle which was the main location for Tří Oříšky pro Popelku ( a Czech Cinderella film). Was closed as they are preparing for the winter exhibition, however, the grounds were beautiful and the outside of the castle was impressive. Half an hour ride in a large horse and carriage (there were 3 adults, 5 children and 1 toddler),cost 50 euros.

Amazing experience, especially with the HistoPad, displaying that you can combine history with modern technology. We visited the caste on a Sunday, there was no need to buy the tickets in advance. Tour takes roughly ~1h, and is very informative, Highly recommended!

We visited Moritzburg Castle yesterday. It was a very rainy day, so we could not enjoy the outdoors and gardens much, but that did not take away from the splendor of the inside of the castle. It was stunning! The castle was originally built as a hunting lodge 1542-1546. The rooms inside the castle had so much detail and history. I really loved the tapestry of Charles V from 1545. Just amazing. I also really enjoyed the Chapel. Moritzburg is a must visit for history lovers. It’s an easy bus ride (about 30 min) from Dresden Nuestadt Station and a short walk from the bus stop. Amazing day!

Pros: 1.Beautiful castle with lots of furnished rooms. 2. Staff allows lift access for wheelchair users if one staff member is nearby. 3.Beautiful garden where you can walk around. 4.A massive parking area right infront of castle. 5.One cafe is located exactly at the castle grounds. Cons: 1.No stroller or pram can be taken inside. 2.The lifts are only useable if a staff member allows it which is very inconvenient for wheelchair users. 3.Lots of steps/stairs.

Nice palace located on the lake island. Did not go inside so I cant judge that. Outside is nice, but I have seen better once. Its ok to visit, but dont feel bad if you have missed it.

Definitely worth to visit! The inside as well as the gardens are stunning. Better to come here in the morning to avoid the crowds on the parking lot. There are two parking areas. One just in front of the palace and the other one from the back (5 min walk from the palace). Parking is 1,50€ per hour.

Pillnitz Castle is an absolute gem just outside of Dresden. There is ample parking. The combination of Baroque and Chinese-inspired architecture is stunning, and the riverside setting along the Elbe makes it feel like something out of a fairytale. The gardens are nicely maintained—especially lovely in spring when the wisteria is in full bloom, the views across the water are serene. Great for a peaceful walk, a bit of history, or just to soak up the scenery. Highly recommended if you’re in the area! Entrance free is 12 euro for adults, we did not go in.

Fantastic experience! Beautiful gardens. You can make beautiful strolls here. Prices are very generous, 12€ for all visits in every museum. This is an activity you can make for a whole day. There is a restaurant and bistro at the property.

Beautiful palace but much of it was under renovation and available to visit. This was only mentioned after we bought tickets. The building that was open is also still under renovation and the exhibit needs a little more work. It’s all in progress and looks like it will be great once it’s open.

Imposing castle on the Elba River reacheable by boat from Dresden. Not much remains inside of the original splendor while the facades and the parks still conveys the grandeur of the epoche !

The prices are very reasonable, with just 12€ granting access to all the museums. I thoroughly enjoyed strolling through the garden, where you can overlook the vibrant and stunning castles. The highlight for me was the magnolia tree, which is said to be around 250 years old and it is absolutely beautiful. Inside, the interiors are a captivating blend of cultural history and artistic design, which I absolutely adore. The colors are vibrant, and the museum is easy to navigate, with translations available in both English and German, which is incredibly helpful. The Pillnitz Castle is definitely worth a visit!

Christmas garden illumination was so pretty. One around tour is about 1 hour course. Nice walking path with fun illumination attractions. There're little stands for little snack and drinks, it's fun to visit. Good for a family walk. Pity that dogs couldn't get in.

I feel like I paid for nothing, I bought the tickets and nobody asked for them, everything was open. The castle was closed, and the only thing I saw was the building with the plants, nothing special, looka better in pictures.

My first time in Saxony and Saxon Switzerland. Lovely place to enjoy the nature. Crowded however. On the other hand, few walk trials there, so don't wait but go visit the site!

It is worth going around the whole circle. Before the nearest parking lot, we turn left and go clockwise. An impressive descent of over 800 steps.

What an incredible surprise! Nestled in the middle of nowhere, this mountain/valley comes to you as a delightful revelation. Its appearance is unlike anything you’ve seen before, setting it apart from its surroundings. This is one of the most breathtaking mountain vistas I’ve ever laid eyes on. From various viewing points, you can capture the towns below and the railroads. There are multiple vantage points that offer a panoramic view of the valley, the mountain, and the bridge itself, where you’ll be standing. However, note that the site requires walking up and down, which can be challenging for those with mobility issues. Additionally, you’ll need some stamina to navigate the stairs. If you’re driving by, I highly recommend making a stop at this place.

This place was insanely cool! We asked some locals what they recommended to see around here, and everyone said this spot — and they were absolutely right! We came here for sunrise, and it was unbelievably beautiful. So worth it!! 🌄

Spectacular Views and Unreal Scenery — A Must-See Bastei is absolutely breathtaking—one of the most stunning natural landscapes we’ve seen in Germany. The dramatic rock formations, sweeping views over the Elbe River, and the iconic Bastei Bridge make this spot feel straight out of a fantasy film. Everything is well-maintained, with scenic walking paths and multiple viewpoints that are easy to reach on foot. We visited in May, and the conditions were perfect—fresh greenery, pleasant temperatures, and lighter crowds. The area is suitable for all ages, though some light uphill walking and stairs are involved. Tips for your visit: 📍 Entry to the Bastei Bridge and viewpoints is free. The Felsenburg Neurathen ruins cost a few euros extra. 🕰️ Go early in the day or late afternoon to enjoy the views with fewer crowds. 🚗 Parking is €7 flat for the whole day, and you can easily pay using the EasyPark app, which works great and saves time. 👟 Wear comfortable walking shoes—parking is about a 15-minute scenic uphill walk from the main site. 📸 Don’t forget your camera—sunrise or sunset light makes the views even more magical. 🥪 There’s a restaurant near the main viewpoint, but if you plan to hike farther, bring snacks and water. Whether you're into hiking, nature photography, or simply soaking up jaw-dropping views, Bastei is a must-visit gem in Saxon Switzerland.

Bastei Bridge is an absolutely stunning place to visit – around 4.5 hours from Berlin and quite easy to reach. The bridge, originally built in the mid-19th century (1851), offers some of the best panoramic views in the region. You can see the river and surrounding rock formations from the top – it’s truly breathtaking. It is a popular spot, so expect crowds, especially during peak times. If you’re not up for hiking, there’s also a bus that can take you very close to the site, which is convenient. Nearby, we found a lovely place that served excellent local beer – the Dunkel beer was a highlight and definitely worth trying! Highly recommended for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone who enjoys scenic landscapes with a touch of history.

The Bastei is a stunning rock formation towering above the Elbe River in Saxon Switzerland, Germany. Famous for its breathtaking views and unique sandstone bridges, it’s a favorite spot for hiking and photography. Visiting the Bastei feels like exploring a natural fortress shaped by centuries of wind and water.

Simply the most amazing castle experience we have ever seen. We spent 4 hours but you could scip the reading and just go for the view in probably one hour and if you want to read and experience everything and eat here you can easily spend 6-7 hours.

The Hike up to this Fortress is amazing and a lot of Fun. It was well worth it to Hike up. You can drive your car to the Car park but that is no real fun. You have great views of the surrounding area. They have a bunch Restaurants where you can get Beer and Food. Lots of interesting History and Exhibits. This Fortres is huge. Really fun to explore the entire complex. We spend several hours up there

Königstein Fortress is one of the largest hilltop fortifications in Europe, with over 800 years of history. Perched high above the Elbe River, it has never been conquered—a true testament to its impressive design and strategic location. If you’re visiting Dresden, don’t skip this experience. I booked a combo tour with the Bastei Bridge by bus, and it made for a perfect day trip. You can also reach Königstein by bus or car if you prefer going on your own. The entrance ticket to the fortress was €12 and absolutely worth it. I also joined a guided tour inside for €6, which I highly recommend—it really brought the history of the site to life. The tour was in German, but if you ask, you can get an English audio guide, which is very helpful. The entire visit was informative, scenic, and well-organized. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history, architecture, or just stunning views.

Enormous! Plan for an entire day! If you stay in the area, you get a local visitor pass for public transport. Figure out a spot along the bus 241 line and park your car there (Struppen in our case). The bus takes you to the fortress, the return trip starts one stop down the mountain. Audio tour is free on your phone, a handset can be had for €2. Do NOT get an ice cream at the small stand on the eastern perimeter.. It is a tourist trap. Get a big smooth soft ice on the main square inside the fortress for less. We spent most of an afternoon walking around the outside of the fortress and regretted not taking more time for it.

Beautiful views from the top. Tons of excebitions and history to read on. Needs whole day for full proper visit.

Great experience. Make sure you’re ready for a lot of walking. The directions/signage could be better, so be sure to get a map to help you navigate around this vast site.

🛡 Königstein Fortress – Power, History, and Breathtaking Views If you enjoy places where nature, architecture, and history come together – this is the place for you. Königstein Fortress is impressive in scale: not just a few towers, but a whole fortified town surrounded by forests and the sandstone cliffs of Saxon Switzerland. 🔭 Postcard-worthy panoramas From the viewing platforms, you get spectacular views of the Elbe River, rolling hills, villages, and lush valleys. Perfect for photos (and soul-soothing moments). 🏰 History at every step From underground casemates to one of the oldest deep wells in Europe – the past comes alive here. Museum exhibits are thoughtfully curated: engaging for both adults and kids. 🚶‍♂️ Ideal for walking The site is large but well-organized. Plenty of signs, benches, and cafés make it easy to explore for several hours. 💡 Tip: Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. Don’t skip the viewpoints – they’re absolutely worth it. ⭐️ Rating: 5/5 One of the top historical sites in Saxony. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Dresden and the surrounding area!

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.

Truly incredible and beautiful castle which is within an hour from Prague without the traffic. We had amazing time a day trip. In the castle you have options depending on your interest and time availability. We took 100 minutes which was in czech language the tour included the whole castle. There is the shorter version too I think 45 minutes. Our tour guide Libor was full of interesting stories, facts and pure history. It was very informative and educating and many things to see inside the castle. Totally worth it and the time passed quickly. Many thanks to him. The castle has few options: shops with wooden decorations, gingerbread, souvenirs, cafe shop and restaurant. The best part was that it was not busy at all, very relaxing atmosphere. Attaching photos and videos from my personal experience. Enjoy 😊

Perfect for a Sunday trip from Prague by train. Not suitable for wheelchair users. The whole castle tour is 340CZK and it takes 100 minutes. Lots of souvenirs and opportunities to eat around. Many walking paths through forest and hills.

Founded back in 12th century, this castle is tightly linked with the history of the Czech state. Set in deep forests and close to the Berounka river Křivoklát castle is well worth a visit any time.

Beautiful and well preserved piece of history. Dated Back to 12th century.

When you arrive at the location you are required to take a guide. Everything would be fine, except the guide only speaks the local language, Czech, so you don’t understand anything at all and they refuse to speak English. As if that weren’t enough, you are forced to follow them, you cannot visit on your own. The castle is empty, it has no furniture at all, just empty halls. All in all, DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE – the staff are hostile and the location has nothing worthwhile to see.

Worth a detour from the highway. Cozy cafes and impressive views. Recommended

This is a very old castle, very well preserved. Off course because of the fires it was rebuilt multiple times. You can enter and have a Czech visit. Or you can scan a qr-code and download a pdf with translation. But the translation does not have so much details like the guide gives I recommend to visit and hike in the area around.

Somber visit. Much of the facilities in the prison portion of the facility are intact. Truly appalling conditions. There was a children's art exhibit there when we went which was amazing to see this time through children's eyes. Sad knowing most of them didn't make it. There were other art exhibits showing work of people held there and showed a glimpse into daily life there. Very close to Prague. Worth the visit. This was a waypoint to the big death camps. The guides at the facility were excellent.

Gut wrenching. Tour guide is too fast in camp. I recommend you find your own transport and then get the tour and take your time afterwards exploring. Good distance between camp and ghetto. The ghetto is now a lived in town with only traces if it's history so you will need help finding the hidden synagogue, and the model living quarters.

The whole town is involved in tourism related to the ghetto. There is no real guidance, you are given a map and you have to manage on your own. The arrival was also really complicated, 2 trains and a lot of walking. It is recommended to come with an guide and/or a vehicle

Had a good time walking around Lots to see

Very moving experience. Terezin has been maintained over the years, so you really get a sense of what it looked like, even though that gives you little sense of the real horror of the conditions here. We were in a group, so we had a tour guide. I highly recommend touring with a guide if possible. Everything is relatively flat but there are uneven entrances and exits and cobblestones and gravel.

Fascinating museum, one part of the entire Ghetto Museum site. Buy tickets here to the entire site and there's a professionally presented museum to introduce visitors to the history of the site. Everything is available in English and there are maps available of the entire site.

Just down the road from the garrison, or as it now known terezin concentration camp. Some beautiful artwork from the prisoners is on display. Its the whole structure of a fake town set up by the SS to fool the red Cross. Just to make them believe they were being humane. Here's where you wany to take your time walking around. It's now a small town but hardly anyone lives here, due to its history and the threat of flooding.

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

The place is picturesque and has very well prepared trails. However, the people in the restaurants are not always fair so you need to stay alert. Today we went to a bistro in Labska Stran and we definitely do not recommend the place because of the service we received.

We visited with guide during early hours. It has path to hike. But it is better to hike in morning before noon, otherwise it will be tired. There are restaurants in top. We enjoyed the view and visited one of the photo gallery there.

It has a very super view. Some of the trails are still not open since the forest fire. I recommend to get informed prior. At the bottom of the hill there are no trees so it is better to avoid the warmest hours of the day.

We book a day tour with “get your guide”. It was FANTASTIC. MODERATE level of walking. Amazing view. Great guide

Great hikes. Bit steep in the middle but very moderate and short. Totally worth it for the beautiful sceneries both en route and at the top 🏞️

Good place for trekking, aventure and some relax. Anyway, a good oportunity to get some money for authorities (no pay, no parking ANYWHERE). A must if you go to Czech Republic.

Just beautiful. Went there in November. Definitely memorable and enjoyable.

A beautiful memorial site to remember the victims of the tragic event that occurred here on 10 June 1942. We all have a responsibility to ensure events like this never occur ever. I recommend visiting this memorial.

Having both Czech and German ancestors it is unbelievable to me how cruel people can be, being so similar to each other. This is one of those important places everybody should visit from time to time to never forget what can happen if we fall for political parties that make us believe some human beings are less important than others.

Such a beautifully maintained and respectful memorial to the events here in June 1942. We visitedvtge memorial exhibition at the side before and after walking around the site and this was a good idea as it gave us an insight before and then clarification after. A special thank you to Jan for taking the time to answer our questions so thoroughly and educate us further - so dedicated to his role and he really made us feel like very special guests. His passion reinforces everything that us good about visiting the darker places of history. Thank you Jan! The children's memorial is the most poignant and powerful I think I have ever seen.

If you love Prague, you should visit the Lidice Memorial, at least once in your life. It’s the tragic history of revenge, of the Nazi’s, after the assassination of Heidrich, in Prague. The Nazi’s decided to completely erase the village of the two brave Czech troupers. Men were killed, women deported, and the children were first deported and then killed. And the then the village was erased, asif it never had existed.

A beautiful memorial. Its a lovely tranquil place and the silence and what appears absence of the wildlife here, enhances the emotions that are felt. My son left a teddy at the child's memorial, and there are candles and lanterns. We didn't visit the museums but walked the friendship and peace gardens and through to the children of war memorial. Dogs are welcome kept on a lead and there are plenty of bins but bring bags to keep the place clean.

A very sad place. I have been here many times to pay respect. Lidice was destroyed by the Nazi’s during WWII after Reinhard Heydrich was killed (died from his wounds related to assassination attempt on his life in Prague). The Children of Lidice statue and memorial is one of the most powerful and sad statues in the world that I have come across. To think humans can kill children is just beyond words.

Intense experience but absolutely worthwhile to make a visit. The memorial does honor to the horror that occurred here. The memorial is peaceful and expansive due to the large open space and walking trail that leads you through the grounds. Be prepared for some emotions.

Nice little piece of history. Outside of touristic season the place is nearly empty, so it's perfect for taking photos.

Beautiful! Definitely visit if you’re in the area☺️

Interesting castle. We had a chance to enjoy a little funny show there (tips at the end).

One of our stops from Panska Skala back to Prague. It's unique and a good amount of steps to climb ;) Note: you'll have to admire the whole view from the opposite viewpoint ;) There's quite a lot of sandstone and ruins around the area, so if you wanna save some cash, you can always visit the other spots and admire the whole view from the opposite viewpoint. We didn't go to the opposite viewpoint as it was getting too late for us. Entrance ticket: 120czk/person Parking: 100czk

Magic place:) Thats a real castle on and in the rock! We have visited that place on Oct 2022 so Autumn sights even increased the impression. The cost od the ticket for 2 adult and 1 dog i 220 CZK, and i think that is a good price, especially that you received a paper guide in your language for free!!

Very charming🤩 The parking lot is big enough and they charge 50 CZK/2h. It’s right underneath the castle so there is no hiking. Along the Parking lot are little Workshops with souveniers🅿️ The castle has multiple levels (in- and outside) and it’s well secured.🏰 While we were there, there was some sort of fencing/acting show-the kids loved it😍 The whole castle is well maintained and we were nicely surprised (compared to Bezděz) We’ll definatelly visit again👌✅

Unexpected beautiful park 😍

The lady who manages the castle visits called us from outside and asked us if we wanted to visit the castle (she only knew two words of English, so communicating was difficult), after paying for the tickets (she only accepts cash) she shows us the stairs and gives us a flyer with some information on the (few) rooms of the castle. In one of the first rooms we meet a group of visitors with a guide who spoke Czech, the room was very small so we tried to reach the next one but got yelled at by the lady, she does not speak English and continues to speak in her language towards us, we try to explain to her that we don't understand a single thing she is saying but she continues to shake her head, in the end one of the visitors knew some English and told us that we couldn’t visit the castle without a guide to supervise us, so we were forced to stay in these small rooms with a group of twenty people listening to a guide who didn't speak our language, there is nothing more stupid... it was not possible to take photos and there are only seven rooms (and they don't even look like royal rooms, you can see that the rooms have been renovated several times in recent years), the city is nice for a walk but being not very touristy, even the locals are not predisposed to foreigners.

Privately owned and one isn't allowed to take photos inside. Guided tour takes one hour.

Located in spectacular place. It was also symbolic for me - started cycling trip in Prague along Vltava I continued along Elbe / Labe in Germany.

Beautiful interiors and great guided tour about the history of Lobkowicz

Wonderful Chateau and winery. Watched the crush, enjoyed a glass of wine on the terrace overlooking the confluence of the rivers!

The Czech Republic 🇨🇿 has not only a reputation as a beer 🍺 country. The Elbe Lowland is one of the most northern wine 🍇 regions in Europe. The traditional stone terraces on the southwestern bank of the river Elbe create the perfect micro climate for winegrowing.🏞 The grapes are processed in a way to become lively, reductive, light wines with a typical bloomy and fruity varietal aroma. 💐 Take a tour to Melnik, a city situated about half hour drive north of Prague. Your celler master takes you through 14th century wine cellar and offers you local wines to taste🍷🥂, accompanied by freshly baked local bread as well as cheese and other snacks.🥖🧀👍

Great view over the country side and two rivers Vltava And Labe meeting.
