Erlebnisfelsen Pottenstein

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Summer toboggan run
Water & Amusement Parks
Erlebnisfelsen Pottenstein is a must-visit destination in Pottenstein during the spring and summer. It offers an amusement park experience with toboggan runs, rope courses, and a viewing deck overlooking a forested canyon. This is an ideal way to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Franconia without extensive hiking. The park provides various rides suitable for families, including toboggan runs that offer adjustable speeds and are reasonably priced.
A day trip in Pottenstein can be fun with this experience. It has only 3 rides but all of them were funny and very kids friendly. The tickets costs 4€ for each ride. The que was very long hence buy all 3 tickets together and enjoy!
Virta W — Google review
A fun place to spend a day. You can buy a per ride ticket. That way you can buy tickets only for the rides you are interested in. There is a restaurant and a small ice cream shop inside. Washrooms are available in the premises and there is plenty of car parking space.
Padmini S — Google review
Good place to visit with kids, we have spent some nice time being there and enjoyed ourselves. Rides were good and safe for everyone. Restaurant was good but due to heavy crowd the waiting times were too high.
Hemanth S — Google review
Kids and adults both had fun here! We came here in the morning of a weekend. While the parking was quite crowded, we didn’t have to queue up for each ride. There were more people coming after lunch time though.
Don P — Google review
The site itself is lovely, the facilities are fun, the view is amazing, there is a comfortable restaurant and convenient parking. But we had an unpleasant experience. We bought 6 tickets at the ticket office - 4 for the roller coaster for all of us (a couple with two daughters) and 2 for the sleds just for my husband and daughter. After we all did the first slide, my husband and daughter went to the sled slide. The line was long but we waited patiently. When it was there turn, my husband already went in with his ticket and when my daughter tried to go up with her, it was listed as having zero balance! Even though the four used tickets were separately in my pocket. Unfortunately, they left the line and went back up. When I went up to the cashier and explained the situation, she acted like I was trying to lie to her. When I realized there was no one to talk to, I bought two more tickets. I wasn't bothered by the money but by the feeling that she didn't even think there was a possibility that there was a problem with them. When my husband and daughter went back to the line, the same thing happened to another father and son... too bad.

Fun time! Rides for all ages so bring the whole family. Best part is free admission! They charge per ride/attraction and the prices are very reasonable. Of Disney charged per ride they'd go out of business but here it's a great working model.
Philip S — Google review
It's your typical amusement park. Not too big, there are a couple of nice rides, nothing too extreme so it's ok even for someone who isn't an adrenaline junkie. The waiting lines are decent even on a weekend.

Devil's Cave

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Nature & Parks
Caverns & Caves
Devil's Cave, also known as Teufelshohle, is a fascinating multi-chambered limestone cave with impressive stalactites and stalagmites. The cave earned its name from local folklore attributing the disappearance of livestock to the devil. Discovered in 1922, it revealed animal remains that had fallen into the cave. Visiting the cave involves navigating through different chambers with tight passageways and low ceilings, making it unsuitable for strollers or carrying infants.
Nice cave, a pleasant guided tour (in German). Inside the cave there are quite a few staircases, be ready you go up and downstairs quite a lot. We were there on a long weekend, it was quite crowded. You buy the ticket first and get a time slot to visit the cave. In our case slots were available in about 30 minutes. The tour lasts about 45 minutes.
Дамир Б — Google review
We did the 40 minute group tour and found it interesting and informative. It is cold and wet inside so appropriate clothing and footwear is a must. Also, be prepared for a long walk. There is paid parking outside the caves and the max duration to park is 2.5 hours. There is a café at the exit. It also sells a few souvenirs.
Padmini S — Google review
The best place to visit near Nuremberg, amazing atmosphere, Nature at its best, chilly inside the cave with a lot of stones made of water drops over the year and one was 2000 years old. The guided tour with the German and English language and the guide was super nice. The ticket price was just 9 euros for adult, it was around 45 mins of tour inside the cave. Once in a lifetime experience for me. Deutschland Ticket works there in Schmetterling Busses. What are you waiting for?
Rahul P — Google review
It's wonderful! I'd recommend a guided tour and warm clothes. Not for disabled people. Lots of stairs and tight on several parts of the way. Absolutely worth it. Dogs are allowed.
Sabine W — Google review
We visited on a Sunday, early afternoon. It wasn't overly crowded. The tour guide also spoke in English. It was worth the trip. It was a good experience. After exiting the cave, you can enjoy a nice refreshment at the cafe, go for a hike, or visit the coaster park (up the mountain). We were very pleased.
Jody R — Google review
Great fun and very unique cave! The audio- and visual effects inside were fun too - and the exit outside of the cave was almost magical! Really beautiful grassy and moss-covered rock formations and mountain cliffs. Beautiful sight, our kids had fun here!

Love this cave tour however, they play the English language guided tour after the group moves on — kinda rude lol but overall, its a nice tour/hike.
Kayla L — Google review
This cave is a Nice place to visit. with Kalk Deposits for over 1000s of years this place is unique to see. Cannot use Kinderwagon, babies need to be carried. Some paths are very very narrow . Only guided tour as per slot (in German) . Parking in Automat. View after the tour was also amazing (autumn season) 9 euro ticket for adults. Will be very interesting for kids.

Imperial Castle of Nuremberg

Mentioned on 
+117 other lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Museum
The Imperial Castle of Nuremberg, also known as Kaiserburg, is a majestic 11th-century castle complex that includes a royal palace and gardens. Perched on a sandstone cliff overlooking the city, it is divided into three parts: the imperial castle Kaiserburg, noble buildings in Burggrafenburg, and other structures to the east in stadtische Burganlage.
One of the most well kept castles for its size and age. Not a lot of English info so prepare to get the audio guide if you want to know more about the castle. Had fun climbing the tower and the views of Nuremberg were unmatched!
Elle F — Google review
One of the iconic castles of Germany, with loads of imperial connections, and well worth braving the rather steep ascent (the views are great, too). Part of the fortifications that lure you up are actually the city wall, not the castle proper, but the overall effect is what counts. If you are spendthrift, skip the castle interior (interesting, but nor overwhelming), and definitely do not eat there (much better value can be found around the nearby Dürerhaus or in town).
Bernd B — Google review
Definitely worth the price of admission. Lots of walking so wear good shoes. Make sure to check out the bridge near the bus drop-off point for the best view. No photography once you are inside. The castle is fabulous. There are bathrooms and a small Cafe inside. Get there early to avoid the crowd.
Mike R — Google review
Nuremberg Castle Beautiful castle with great panoramic views of the city! 🏰✨ The climb up gives you a bit of a sweat, but totally worth it once you reach the top — the scenery is amazing. Perfect spot for photos and enjoying the old-town vibe from above.
Subencha P — Google review
From other reviews, didn't believe there'd be a lot of items to see in the museum. Was very surprised at the amount of historical items and information provided. The views of the city were fantastic along with the historic background. Very easy walk even inside the museum and inner grounds. I highly recommend to anyone visiting.

Beautiful spot to explore — great for a scenic walk with lovely views over the city. The whole place has a strong historic atmosphere and makes for a really nice visit.
Luka G — Google review
The Imperial Castle is the symbol of Nuremberg. Since the Middle Ages its silhouette has represented the power and importance of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and the outstanding role of the imperial city of Nuremberg. From 1050 to 1571, all Holy Roman Emperors resided – at least temporarily – in the Imperial Castle. An archeological exploration of the grounds of the castle has revealed remains of a fortress.

Museums Nuremberg - Albrecht Dürer House

Mentioned on 
+85 other lists 
Art museum
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
The Albrecht Dürer House in Nuremberg is a must-visit for art enthusiasts and history buffs. This timbered Gothic house survived WWII bombing and now houses original etchings and woodcuts by the renowned German Renaissance artist, Albrecht Dürer. The museum offers a glimpse into Dürer's life, featuring a recreated studio and print shop, as well as a gallery showcasing both replica and original works.
An interesting museum, the audio guide is included in the ticket price (€7.5) and is available in Russian. The museum tells the history of the house itself, the story of Dürer and his family, features copies of his works, the preserved kitchen, and reconstructed rooms. I spent an hour and a half there as if in one breath. Highly recommended! If you come at the opening, there are few people and it’s very comfortable.
Irina S — Google review
A charming museum that offers a closer look at the life and work of this talented and self-assured painter. It feels special to visit in his hometown. Although it’s sad that Nuremberg lost many of his original works, the reproductions and the effort of other artists to keep his legacy alive are meaningful and well worth seeing.
Yulan Z — Google review
Authentic house that was home to famous medieval artist. Although there are only reproductions and period furniture in the house, it feels real and relays the life story of Durer in great detail.
Mike Z — Google review
Albrecht-Dürer-Haus The museum does a great job of presenting its exhibits, even though it’s a bit small — which is understandable given the size of the original house. I especially enjoyed the art gallery section; it was fascinating. The staff were also wonderfully friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better.
Uraiwan S — Google review
This is the house where Albrecht Dürer once lived, though the exhibition makes it clear that almost no trace of the great master's residency remains - yet you get a good introduction to his life and works. You may even try your hand at creating your own art. Can be crowded at times, as the rooms (and especially stairwells) are small.
Bernd B — Google review
A sight that is a "must-see" if you are visiting Nuremberg. We didn't go inside, but from the outside it looks like an ordinary house, of which there are many in the city center. But it is still special, as it is linked to a famous historical figure.
Ermi M — Google review
We loved the English tour with Agnes, the "wife" of Dürer, who presented a very personal insight of the life of the artist while guiding us through the building!
Florin M — Google review
A very impressive historic building once owned by Albrecht Dürer. Plan at least two hours for a thorough tour. It's worth the time to admire the works of this medieval master.

St. Lorenz Church is a restored Gothic church in Nuremberg, Germany, which suffered severe damage during World War II but was rebuilt. The church features impressive interior artwork and a large organ. Visitors can explore the Nuremberg Old Town with a local expert guide to see four beautiful medieval churches, including St. Lorenz Church, and learn about their unique historical stories.
Absolutely beautiful. Historical cathedrals with their spires, intricate side chapels, and impossibly high ceilings are a must-see for me. I just can't imagine praying in one... I'd be too distracted!
Ash K — Google review
St. Lawrence is the Cathedral Church of Nuremberg with twin bell towers. It is located in Alstadt very center surrounded with many market stalls. Church is free to enter with tall classic Gothic arches inside with very few stained glass. WWII devastations miraculously spared the twin towers which only endured minor damages
Dejan B — Google review
Gothic masterpiece church dominating southern part of old town was built over the period of 2 centuries from 1250 to 1477. It was burnt out at the end of WW2 and reconstructed in 1952. Artwork was preserved in underground bunkers prior to bombings, so wooden rosary with suspended in mid-air figures and stain glass are original to medieval period.
Mike Z — Google review
Almost a twin of the St Sebald (might be?) but with it's own architectural marvel. In a large market square with farmer market and many open square restaurants
Don D — Google review
St. Lorenz Church is one of the most important Gothic churches in southern Germany and a defining landmark of Nuremberg’s old town. Built between the mid-13th and 15th centuries, it was originally a Catholic church but became Lutheran after the Reformation in 1525. Its twin towers and richly ornamented façade dominate Lorenzer Platz. The church measures approximately 91 meters in length, 27 meters in width, and its towers rise to about 80 meters high — making it one of the largest churches in Bavaria. We didn’t have the chance to go inside, as a concert was taking place at the time of our visit. However, even through the closed doors, the sheer power of the sound resonating from within was striking — a clear reminder of the building’s scale and extraordinary acoustics.
Anna K — Google review
St. Lorenz dominates Nuremberg’s Old Town with its towering Gothic façade and twin spires that seem to pull the eye upward the moment you step into Lorenzer Platz. The intricate stonework of the main portal and rose window is stunning up close, and the scale of the building makes it impossible to miss while exploring the city center. Originally built in the 13th century, the church was heavily damaged during World War II and carefully reconstructed, a reminder of both destruction and resilience in Nuremberg’s history. Inside, it houses important works of art, including Veit Stoss’ soaring wooden Angelic Salutation and stained glass that dates back to the Middle Ages. Even if you only admire it from the square, St. Lorenz offers one of the most striking examples of German Gothic architecture in the region and connects directly to the layered history of the city.
E P — Google review
Hugely impressive historic church! Worth a visit.
Danny E — Google review
St. Lorenz Church in Nuremberg is a breathtaking example of Gothic architecture that left me in awe. The towering twin spires and the intricate façade draw you in, but it’s the interior that truly captivates. The soaring vaulted ceilings, stunning stained glass windows, and the elaborate sculptures create a space that feels both grand and intimate. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are remarkable, making it easy to lose yourself in the beauty and history of the place. St. Lorenz is not just a church; it’s a masterpiece that speaks to the soul.

It's my second time visiting this complex and I can highly recommend it. This time, I found out that the museum itself has been closed for several years already due to extensive renovations. Unfortunately this wasn't very clear online and when you get there the signage isn't very clear either - we walked right past the containerized ticket booth because when you walk towards the building from the parking lot, you can't see the signage.

Extremely poor hygiene. When we found 💩 poop laying around in the baby-pool, they fixed it by fishing the biggest peaces out of the water. In Denmark the pool would have been closed, emptied, cleansed and THEN reopened. The toilets were not in the locker rooms but rather inside the actual pool room, allowing for you to take a dump and then go straight back into the water, hence having everyone swimming in your rectal bacteria. In Denmark you strictly have to shower once more, using soap, before going back into the water. There were other very low-hygiene issues, but those two mentioned were the worst. So, don't go if you are not in the mood for an infection. If you don't care about hygiene, the place is ok.
Inez D — Google review
I am sorry to say this, however as of now I cannot suggest this place to any of my friends. It is clearly an old place and it looks like it’s not kept up as it is supposed to be. - There is algae in all the outside filters and the inside filters do not look really clean either. - The little “cave” has residue on the walls which makes me feel icky. - The seats were made out of really cheap looking plastic and the metal frames of quiet a few of the loungers are rusty. a. s. o. .. There is no reason to make a special Tripp to this location.

Perfect place for relax, just few people even during the weekend. We enjoyed our time there, swimming and cool poolbar
Denisa G — Google review
From the outside the place has great appeal with modern architecture and smooth surfaces, however once inside the age of the building shows. The changing rooms are packed full with changing booths and lockers with little room to maneuver around. There is only one male and one female shower room with 5-7 shower heads. The pool area is cramped with chairs along the edges forcing you to side step past them. The concrete walls show signs of water damage and paint peeling all over. The two indoor “hot” pools were actually mildly warm with only small sections of bubbling water. The area with the children’s pool and area was very nicely layout, however most of the kids were in the main area with their parents in the warm pools. Their behavior and loudness took away from the goal of relaxing. A recommendation for the locker keys and access control to different areas, use a more modern method like a rubber wrist band embedded with a chip that is programmed at front desk. The coin chip works, however placing it in the wrist band holder with the locker key is bulky and requires constant attention to ensure it’s still tight or fastened to wrist. Overall the place is best suited to take your children and let them burn some energy off. This is NOT a place to go if you wanna relax in a hot therme.

We really enjoyed our hike around the entire lake (Rundweg Kleiner Brombachsee, about 5.5 miles to circle back to your beginning point) on this very pretty autumn day - air was brisk, leaves were very pretty at places (photos) and being near quiet waters always calms my soul. We saw many bikers, hikers, walkers with dogs and even some four-wheel (side by side bike contraption with a roof) carriages along this circle route around the lake. We didn't observe a lot of wild life per se, but there were some on the lake. I think I even saw a large owl flying away in the woods. Does one swan make this lake a "swan lake"? Obviously it's past the busy season now, and it seemed a little desolate, but a café and a beer garden were open. There were many swimming beaches along the way, so I imagine during the warm season (typically only for a couple of weeks in Germany) this would be a great lake-swimming location. Also, there was Wakepark in one of the coves where you can enjoy riding wakeboards being pulled by a leash with some jumping stands. I didn't pay attention to the price posting. It looked very cold with air temperature of only about 46F, so it probably would be better during summer time. I imagine it'll be very crowded then. There were plenty of parking spaces available near the beer garden / camp ground. All-day parking is € 5 here.

Burgruine Hilpoltstein

Interesting and the start of a nice 1/2 hour walk around the town walls
Fred N — Google review
Hello fellow time travelers! Today I want to share with you my experience of visiting the Burgruine Hilpoltstein, a medieval castle ruin in Bavaria, Germany. If you are looking for a place to explore some history, enjoy some scenic views and maybe even meet some ghosts, this is the place for you! The Burgruine Hilpoltstein dates back to the 11th century and was built by the lords of Stein, who were very influential and powerful in the region. They had good relations with the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire and founded the towns of Hilpoltstein and Freystadt. They also had a lot of drama in their family, like Heinrich III, who tried to become a bishop but failed, or Hilpolt IV, who died without heirs and ended the dynasty . The castle was then sold to the Wittelsbach dukes of Bavaria, who used it as a residence for their widows. One of them was Maria Dorothea, who expanded and renovated the castle in the 17th century. She was also very religious and generous, and donated a lot of money to churches and monasteries. She died in 1639 and was buried in Seligenporten Abbey . After her death, the castle was abandoned and fell into decay. It was used as a quarry and a prison until it was bought by the county of Roth in 1972. Since then, it has been restored and opened to the public . You can visit the castle from April to October and see the remains of the palas, the chapel, the bergfried (donjon) and the ring wall. You can also enjoy a panoramic view of the town and the surrounding countryside from the top of the hill. The castle also hosts some cultural events throughout the year, like a medieval festival in May and a theater festival in August. You can also find a tourist information center, an archive and a community college in the former granary. If you are lucky, you might even encounter some of the former inhabitants of the castle, who are said to haunt the place. Some people have reported seeing or hearing strange things, like footsteps, voices or apparitions. So, if you are looking for a fun and interesting day trip in Bavaria, I highly recommend visiting the Burgruine Hilpoltstein. You will not regret it! And if you do meet any ghosts, please let me know in the comments!

Wolfstein Castle

Historical landmark

Centuries-old hilltop fort ruins with an excavated moat & chapel, plus guided tours on Sundays.
This is not a pile of rubble marking the ruins of a castle. It is a large complex with multiple rooms, evidence of several levels including a natural ravine/gorge that would serve a similar role like a moat and an extensive outer wall. Considering that it was in full use a thousand years ago it is a fascinating site to explore.

Wolfstein Castle (Burgruine Wolfstein) is a beautiful and peaceful spot that’s perfect for a short hike and a taste of medieval history. Located on a hill above the town of Neumarkt in Bavaria, the castle ruins date back to the 12th century and still have an impressive presence. The walk up to the castle is easy and scenic, taking visitors through forest paths and offering lovely views along the way. Once at the top, the remains of the stone walls and towers give a great sense of what the fortress once was. There's also a viewing platform that offers stunning panoramic views over Neumarkt and the surrounding countryside. It’s free to explore, and while the ruins aren’t large, they have a peaceful charm that makes it a nice place to spend an hour or so. There are also a few benches at the top, perfect for relaxing and soaking in the scenery. Wolfstein Castle is great for anyone who enjoys light hiking, history, and beautiful views. It’s a quiet, less crowded alternative to bigger tourist sites, making it a perfect stop if you’re in the area.

Took a trek right from the train station as we went there on the weekend and the buses were not operational. It took about an hour to reach the ruins but the journey was worth it. The tower was open, so I could enjoy the breathtaking view. The place takes about 30 min to explore but I would recommend a hike or trek to enjoy the place to its fullest.
Vaibhav P — Google review
It was easy to find parking right outside the little town. It was an easy 5-minute walk to the castle. The only disappointing thing was that there is very little to discover. There is only one plaque that we could find with anything written on it about the castle. And guided tours of the spire are only available on Saturdays. The rest of the castle can easily be explored in under 10 minutes. The best thing about this Castle is the view. You can see the entire valley and distinguish no less than 8 or 9 different towns. It's breathtaking.

Tours of the watch tower are only available on Sunday from 1pm - 5pm at the moment. But I grew up in the 80's and 90's playing the video game Wolfenstein 3D on a PC so had to come have a look. Really spectacular and fantastic views of the local town.

Cool luxury car museum. Learned that Maybach made much more than cars. Definitely worth checking out!

Very interesting but the display of the cars was a bit boring, old fashioned. The artefact and the parafernalia displays were very nice. I wanted to pay with an EU debit card and at first they did not accept it. Once they realized I had no other means of payment it was okay. All by all I have learned a lot about the Maybach company.

The museum is great. Anyone interested in old cars and aviation with Zeppelins has come to the right place. Entrance fee of 9.50 euros is just about okay. However, parts of the museum are not heated. Be sure to dress warmly in winter. A room temperature that was 3 or 4 degrees higher wouldn't have been bad. No credit cards accepted, only debit cards. December 2023

I guess it is over rated; though there was some nice vintage cars, but the museum is relatively small. I was expecting to see some new cars. There are some interesting facts though, about the bike industry and patents, and also the war tanks industry. The video related to the Hindenburg disaster and the crash of the Zeppelin in the US in 1937, was really touching!

I expected more cars. The documentary about Zeppelin was interesting.

Although it's a nice little museum with very nice expose, it would be nice, if the lights are switched ON, as it's quite difficult to read about the exhibits in a dark room (even if it's only 2pm)

Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site

Space of remembrance
Sights & Landmarks
The Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site is a significant historical location near Munich, just an hour away by train. It offers a sobering glimpse into the atrocities of World War II and the Nazi regime. The site features reconstructed cell blocks, photographs, and documents that provide insight into the camp's history. Visitors can join guided tours to learn about the dark chapter in history and pay their respects to the victims.
A must visit for all who wants to know more about the War and a reminder to us living about what the prisoners went through so that we don't allow history like this to repeat itself. The only concentration camp to be functional during the entire 12 years reign of the Nazi party from 1933 to 1945. Also the first concentration camp to be built and was the training and reeducation place of the SS (Nazi army) for all other concentration camps in Europe.

It feels more like an exhibition than a museum—quite disappointing, to be honest. It should convey the horror of what took place there, but it doesn't. The fact that there are regular houses just behind the fence, where people live, blew my mind. What goes through people's heads to make it okay for them to have a view of a death camp from their window?

Was easy to get here from the Central Station Hbf in Munich. Take the S2 train to Bahnhof, Dachau, then take a transfer to 726 bus. Will take you there and back. The visitation center has your free toilette, Cafe with food, drinks, and warm coffee and hot chocolate which was well needed for this cold day. The people at the visitor center was nice and spoke English well. Rental an audio tour guide that was useful, but honestly I enjoyed reading all the materials and posters there. The camp was amazing, and everyone was respectful there. Everyone was speaking low for respect, similar to 911 Memorial Museum in NY.

We went with a guided tour with Radius Tours. From Munich, we traveled by train and bus to get to the memorial site. We were with 'German Mark' ...not to be confused with the other Mark 😉 and he provided a lot of insight to the history and development of this memorial site. We came to Munich for Oktoberfest and spent the following morning here. It was sobering, though provoking, impactful, and necessary. You could easily spend the majority of the day here. They do provide self guided audio tours. Someone that we met at our hotel did the audio tour and enjoyed the content. You get a lot of content in the various areas and it's great to see that they are utilizing the space to remember what happened there. It was a very powerful experience.
Emily A — Google review
Absolutely incredibly powerful place to visit. It’s very well presented and managed - combination of extensive museum exhibits with text (multiple languages), artifacts, real life stories, videos, and pictures. Be sure to read as much as possible as you tour. There are memorials and public art throughout the site that represent many different backgrounds of the victims impacted. Careful reconstruction has been done on a few buildings, some original buildings remain, and much of the open ground is there from where original buildings once stood. We spent nearly 4.5 hours there and could have easily spent longer as learned lots. Audio guides in different languages are available.
Dave D — Google review
Worth going and worth checking it out for lots of reasons. It has a canteen for lunch, a book shop, a Carpark. You can follow guided tour by the centre, just head to the reception to join the tour (think is 3 euro per person) when you get there, this can’t be booked online. There are one at 11am and one at 1pm I think (in English). There are also some in German. You can walk into a small gas chamber used for testing poison on people, and see the crematorium used to burn the bodies. Scary but real. All in front of your eyes. And many more scary details. A lesson not to be missed and always be remembered. The visit is free if you don’t follow the tour. You can do the visit using audio guide too.

We had a short trip to the memorial site. It is impressive although not many of the original elements are left. The space and the prison part gives you that feeling of hopelessness. It is humbling and creates awareness on the horrors man can inflict on others and how much can one indure. We should be grateful that we don't know any of it.

Visitors Park Munich Airport

Visitor center
Tour agency
On our way to check into the Hilton at Munich Airport, we passed by the Visitors Park—and it immediately caught our eye. With its aviation-themed playground, historic aircraft on display, and a striking observation deck, it looked like such a cool spot that we knew we had to come back before our trip ended. We made it just in time to catch the sunset on our last night in Germany, and it was the perfect way to wrap up our trip. From the top of the observation hill, we had an amazing view of the runway and terminal, watching planes take off and land as the sky turned gold and pink. It felt peaceful, exciting, and a little emotional knowing we’d be flying out the next day. Whether you’re an aviation enthusiast or just looking for a unique spot to relax and take in the sights, the Visitors Park at Munich Airport is a hidden gem. It’s easy to access, family-friendly, and a great place to soak in those final moments of travel magic.

Allianz Arena

Stadium
Sights & Landmarks
Allianz Arena, home to Bayern Munich, is a renowned football stadium and one of the most impressive athletic venues globally. Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, its unique architecture features 2,784 ETFE plastic panels that give it a distinctive appearance resembling an inflatable cushion with translucent air pockets. What sets it apart is its luminous exterior that changes color based on the team playing: red for Bayern, blue for TSV 1860, and white for Germany.
An iconic stadium and a must-see for football fans! ⚽ The design is incredible especially when it’s lit up at night. The area is clean and well-organized, with easy access by metro. Even if there’s no match, the tour and museum are definitely worth it.

The FC Bayern stadium (Allianz Arena) has a very high capacity. The exterior design is modern and can change color at night. It houses both a Museum and an FC Bayern Store. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to join the Arena Tour, which is a real shame. The downside of this stadium is that there are very few nice photo spots outside, apart from taking pictures with the stadium itself, and if you come by U-Bahn, it's a very long and exhausting walk.

Wonderful arena and an amazing experience. My dad received a VIP tour and museum tickets for his 59th birthday. We were guided around the stadium and even taken to exclusive areas like the locker room and the tunnel where the players walk out before the match. The museum has absolutely everything, and the layout is beautifully done. I was also pleasantly surprised that the stadium shop is not overpriced at all. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience. Even though I’m not a football fan myself, we went because of my father, and I actually felt sad to leave because I enjoyed it so much. Go Bayern München! 🫶🏻❤️⚽️

We booked the English speaking tour with Franz, and he was very informative and engaging. There was plenty of Oporto take photos, and you could visit the change rooms, sit in the stands and on the substitutes bench. Afterwards we visited the museum which was very interactive. You could take a photo of yourself and have it appear on a scrolling wall of photos, and there was also the opportunity to take a photo with your favourite players. There are things for kids to do, such as building their own trophy with blocks, as well as a stadium with Lego. There is a small futsal pitch for them to play on, as well as climbing equipment. It’s definitely worth the visit for the whole family.

Great stadium, truly impressive from the moment you walk in. The shop is huge, well-stocked, and full of cool merch for every type of fan. The museum is surprisingly rich with history, displaying iconic moments, trophies, and even a small cinema where you can sit and enjoy a short film about the club’s journey. The stadium tour itself is well-organized, informative, and gives you access to some amazing angles you don’t normally get to see. Staff throughout the entire experience were warm, helpful, and very professional. Highly recommended if you’re a football fan or simply appreciate great sporting culture and storytelling.

Erdinger Brewery, located in Erding, Germany, is renowned for its wheat beers and holds the title of the largest wheat beer brewery globally. Established in 1886 by Johann Kienle, it offers a 3-hour tour featuring tastings and Bavarian snacks. Visitors praise the informative English-speaking guides and the opportunity to sample various beers. The brewery's attention to detail and quality throughout the brewing process is also highlighted. Additionally, affordable student rates are available for tours.
This was an amazing experience! Love Erdinger so it was so good to finally come and visit it at source. The tour was in German but nevertheless we had a great experience. After the tour we were treated to a traditional meal of sausage, cheese and pretzels with a few different choices of Erdinger to wash it all down! If your an Erdinger enthusiast then I would recommend this please 100%

We went for a brewery tour and tasting on a Wednesday 15/10/2025 for the English speaking tour. I'll start by saying how lovely all the staff were and how enthusiastic they were about the brewery! It was really interesting to learn how Erdinger is made and all the different beers they brew. The tasting was a highlight with an option of Obatzda or Weisswurst and Pretzel to pair with the beers. I managed to sample at least three of the beers and they were all as delicious as the next. The only downside to my experience was the slightly hard to reach location of the brewery. We were coming from the Therme Erding and there was no easy route. Of course this is not the brewery's fault so it's still a 5 star review! Thank you Erdinger Brewery for such an amazing tour!

Booked a tour for a Saturday at 14. Their shop with merch closes at 13. How is that possible? The signage for meeting points etc. are bad and the ticket confirmation mail is only in German.

The voucher doesn't work online and, naturally, not in a closed shop.

HIGHLY recommend this tour. We came to Erding for our wedding and a bunch of our guests joined us for this tour. It was a great group activity. This was a highlight of our week! I have been to other breweries and have done other tours around the world but this was hands down my favourite one! The hospitality was wonderful. We started off with a beer and ended with multiple beers. (Full glasses, not just shot glasses). All the beer options were so good! We also received food; sausages and pretzels with the most amazing mustard. We didn't even need to go out for dinner after. The tour was very informative, with lots of walking and stairs which is good for me who likes to be active on trips. I would definitely come back! This is a MUST DO if you like beer and are in Erding. We are forever a Erdinger family now.

The English tour sold out, so we were on German tour. Still great. They have made some changes. The tour is no longer free for Fanclub members. It's 10€. But you do get a souvenir glass. Informative tour. Great reception after.

Castle
Nature & Parks
Nymphenburg Palace is a grand 200-hectare estate showcasing stunning rococo interiors, an impressive coach display, and symmetrical baroque gardens. The palace offers a peek into Bavaria's royal history with its opulent halls and the renowned Gallery of Beauties. It appeals to history buffs, art enthusiasts, and admirers of grand architecture. Visitors can explore the meticulously manicured gardens and discover charming pavilions like the enchanting rococo follies.
The palace is truly amazing, stunning architecture and very elegant, this is evident when you approach along the water. Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to enter the palace and just walked around the garden instead, absolutely stunning and very well maintained. There was no fee to enter the garden and it was very peaceful and a good place to relax and unwind and go for a pleasant stroll. You could easily spend a few hours here. Highly recommend this place for a visit when in Munich.

Here is a very impressive place, whether it's the beautiful Baroque architecture or the grand hall with its amazing ceiling frescoes. Although some of the interior decor might seem simple, the Marstallmuseum, which displays luxurious and magnificent carriages and sledges, especially those of King Ludwig II, is an unmissable highlight. Moreover, the area in front of the palace features a wide canal and pond, as well as a large park, which is perfect for strolling, taking photos, enjoying nature, and soaking up the very fresh and pleasant air.

Nicely maintained. The bus and tram stop are a bit away, 10 mins walk. Cycles are not allowed inside. Water is not not clean, lots of ducks and can spot different birds and deer sometimes. Good to visit in snow, Autumn and summer

Beautiful palace and garden / park. The park / garden is immense and would be a fantastic place to walk regularly. Taking the S Bahn from city center and entering through the park at the very southern tip on foot is what I recommend. You can also take a bus near the metro stop and get really close without a vehicle.

A splendid royal palace complex in the western suburbs of the city. Initially built as a summer residence for the rulers of Bavaria, the palace is open year-round to visitors for self-guided tours. There are actually 5 different buildings on the palace grounds that are open to the public: the main palace itself, the Marstallmuseum, and 3 smaller outbuildings. You can purchase a combination ticket for all 5 buildings at one price, or if you're short on time you can buy a ticket just for the palace itself. I feel you should allow at least 3 hours if you want to see everything. When I was there, the main palace required timed-entry tickets, but the other buildings did not. The main palace is stunning, with ornate sitting rooms, exquisitely decorated bedrooms, and an elegant great hall. Tours are self-guided, but there are detailed signs in each room (in both German and English). I loved being able to walk around at my own pace. An audio tour was available, but I felt the signs went into so much detail that I didn't need the audio guide. I highly recommend visiting the Marstallmuseum while you're here. It contains many interesting objects used by the royal family, including magnificent stagecoaches and an impressive porcelain collection. The palace grounds also feature Schlosspark Nymphenburg, a huge public park with manicured flowerbeds, green meadows, and wooded areas. You could easily spend an entire day exploring all that Nymphenburg has to offer! This was one of my favorite activities in Munich. If you interested in Bavarian history and culture, this is a must-do!

This is my first time here, and I'm very impressed with the structure and the property itself. It has a large, well-planned garden. When it's not crowded, it's a very relaxing and peaceful place. With a small grove, pools, and walking paths, it promises a beautiful Munich experience worth your time.

Stunning palace and gardens. Beautiful to visit in the autumn. Entry into the gardens is free. €10 for entry into the palace which is quite small and not quite worth it for €10. Other castles on property closed during colder months.
Kate F — Google review
The castle looks really cool! I am glad that many bird types (geese for example) have a huge living space here thanks to the castle. The grass did not look very well maintained because you could see a lot of holes in the grass, which is because of the animals of course but yeah I just thought it looked a bit off. We had a very nice visit though!

BMW Welt, Munich is an absolute must-visit, whether you’re a die-hard car enthusiast or just someone who appreciates beautiful architecture, technology, and design. As a car fan, stepping into BMW Welt feels like entering automotive heaven. The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by stunning displays of BMW, MINI, and Rolls-Royce models, each showcased under sleek lighting that makes them look even more spectacular. You can sit inside the cars, explore the interiors, feel the craftsmanship, and even hop onto your favourite BMW motorcycles for a quick photo or to experience the seating comfort. There are often interactive screens and cutaway models that show how the engines and technology work, making it both exciting and educational. The building itself is an experience, an architectural masterpiece with wide open spaces, glass walls, and flowing metal structures that give it a futuristic feel.

Easy to get to with affordable on-site parking underneath. Very cool, modern building design inside and out. A good selection of cars to look at as well, but no replacement for the proper BMW museum. But of course you should plan to spend some time here anyways as you have to walk through to get to the full museum anyways. I did not get any food, but there were several restaurants inside which all looked good. Of course the scenery inside is great too!

This is a free museum/interactive showroom Went here for a quick visit. We enjoyed because there is option to get in vehicles, touch fully functional vehicle. Many learning opportunities too in terms of engineering and some history and insight on the direction of BMW. You'd have to be an automotive enthusiast or a big fan of BMW to really appreciate how great this place is

BMW Welt: You can only examine the autos you regularly see on the street!! The others speazial autos are locked. Only you can look! All the IX and M5 are too locked ! The attendants won't open them when you auch ask. Appointments are apparently required. !! In short, you can only view the vehicles from the outside. The attendants don't even introduce them. If I looked very rich and cool, maybe I would have a chance. :)) It's a complete disappointment. You could inspect many more BMWs if you went to a standard BMW dealership.! or from the photos I added :)) it's the same anyway. :))

Absolutely beautiful place. Very well maintained. The sea world is good but not worth the high price tag it carries. Far more beautiful aquariums exist at a much lesser price. The real attraction lies in the pond side benches behind the sea world. Tranquil, pretty and a great place to just sit by and catch your thoughts.

A beautiful, large park with a few big halls offering excellent opportunities for swimming and other sport activities and occasional concerts. There are also a nice lake, a hill offering a splendid view of the park and the city, plenty of paths for walking, jogging and riding a bike in the park. A prominent sign of the park is it's high Olympic tower. A great place for spare time, making sport and other activities and simply relaxing. Easy to reach by subway and some buses.

★★★★★ A Fantastic Day Out at Olympiapark München! What an absolutely delightful experience we had exploring Olympiapark München! It's so much more than just a park; it's a vibrant, beautifully maintained space. We enjoyed a very pleasant walk through the expansive grounds, admiring the unique architecture of the Olympic facilities. The Olympic pool was particularly amazing – it looked so inviting, and it seemed like people were enjoying it for exercise, which is fantastic to see! As we strolled, we could hear a music festival playing in the distance, which created a really great atmosphere for our walk. The landscape design throughout the park is simply stunning, making it a truly picturesque place to spend time. Parking was easy to find, though it is paid, it's definitely worth it for the convenience and access to such a wonderful place. We highly recommend a visit to Olympiapark – it's a memorable highlight in Munich!

The narration is very detailed, covering the historical stories of the time. I highly recommend visiting if you’re interested in history, culture, or artifacts. If you listen to every section of the audio guide, you could easily spend half a day there. The entire palace is huge, so make sure to allow plenty of time for a relaxed visit.

Bought tickets online ahead of time which proved helpful! There is an audio guide that they provide but there are SO MANY rooms and the audio guide talks for so long—we eventually abandoned. That said, the Residence is MASSIVE and so so many of the rooms are available for viewing. Incredibly lavish and opulent. We really enjoyed! Side note, they are very serious about not letting people in after an hour before closing. We saw a lot of people turned away and lectured as we were leaving! Plan accordingly!

A Must-See Spot in Munich! Marienplatz is such a lively and beautiful place — truly the heart of Munich! We loved walking through the square, surrounded by amazing old buildings, shops, and cafés. The highlight was definitely the Glockenspiel at the New Town Hall — the music, the moving figures, and the whole crowd watching together make it feel so special. It’s the perfect spot to sit back, people-watch, and take in the atmosphere. Everything in Munich seems to connect here — the energy, the history, and the charm of the city all in one place. If you’re visiting Munich, don’t miss Marienplatz, especially around noon when the Glockenspiel comes to life, arrive 15 minutes early to find the best spot.

The city center of Munich is an absolutely stunning and lively area centered around the famed Marienplatz. Dominated by the magnificent Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall), a Neo-Gothic architectural gem, the square's highlight is the famous Glockenspiel, which draws crowds daily to watch its mechanical figures perform. The area is a fantastic blend of history and modern life, with the towering Frauenkirche (Cathedral) just a short walk away, alongside the bustling Viktualienmarkt and the start of the main pedestrian shopping zones (like Kaufingerstraße). Whether you're sightseeing at the Residenz, shopping for luxury goods, or simply soaking up the authentic Bavarian atmosphere at a nearby Wirtshaus, the city center serves as the perfect, walkable hub for exploring all that Munich has to offer.

It's a vast general museum, encompassing everything not covered in the art and antique museums. Currently half of it is under renovation, but the open part is big enough to keep you busy for a long time. I focused mainly on the air and space aspect, nice collection of vintage and more modern planes, some of the very first rockets including a V2, and a very nice floor on spaceships. I also enjoyed the section on coding. I checked out photography, printing and musical instruments before my time ran out. It was a solid 3 hours. Overall it is good, not necessarily a must-see if you are first time visitor to Munich pressed on time.

A wonderful place to visit with children. The museum offers a great experience, and the restaurant–café on the roof is definitely worth a stop. The river view at sunset is stunning — the sunlight shimmering on the water creates a beautiful scene. Don’t forget to check out the gift shop on your way out for some nice souvenirs.

The Deutsches Museum in Munich is an absolute gem for science and technology enthusiasts, offering an unparalleled hands-on learning experience. With its vast collection spanning aviation, engineering, physics, and even music instruments, the museum brilliantly bridges education and entertainment. The interactive exhibits—like the giant pendulum, working machinery demonstrations, and flight simulators—make complex concepts accessible and fun for visitors of all ages. The detailed historical displays, including early automobiles and replicas of famous scientific experiments, provide fascinating insights into humanity's technological progress. While the sheer size of the museum can be overwhelming, its well-organized sections and engaging presentations ensure an enriching visit. Whether you're a curious traveler or a dedicated science buff, the Deutsches Museum delivers both knowledge and inspiration in a truly immersive way.

Wow what an amazing place! There was so much you could go everyday for weeks or more to see it all and drink in all the information accessible to you. We had the city pass so access was quick. Thank you from Canada. 🇨🇦

They had everything there. From engines to aircrafts, nuclear physics to spacecrafts, electronics, medicinal technologies, old and new cameras, receent semiconductor technologies, bridges, pendulums, fighter jets, agriculture and husbandry & whatever your cup of tea is. It is a great museum with literally any type of science in it. It is definitely a must go and you would regret it if you didn't.

Deutsches Museum is not just an exhibit hall: it is a journey through how human curiosity, experimentation, and engineering have shaped the world. If you love science or tech—or want to challenge yourself to understand how many things work (from steam engines to quantum bits), this museum will reward you. Even if you’re only casually interested, the famous pieces (Z3, mining, astronomy, transport, etc.) are enough to make a visit memorable. Highly recommend it, and plan your time well. Bonus: Every Monday few free tickets are also offered. Don't forget to see the beautiful skyline of city with Isar river.
