Preserved Nazi German concentration camp with WWII exhibits, artifact displays & a large archives.
Smaller than others but worth taking the time to visit to put life into perspective. No guided tours so you can go at your own pace.
Free to enter.
David — Google review
Very sobering experience. The only downfall was that half the exhibits weren't in English . If you're into your history and wish to understand more of how the brutal nazi regime treated these people it's worth a visit .
Free entrance..close at 6pm sharp..lock bus tour people out of bathrooms.. need port a john outside in parking area .for visitor.. tough place to visit.. sad history ! But ! U decide ! Donations on pay by card or cash box
Emotional experience. Absolute a must see place if interested in the history of WWII and Gdansk. Some of the exhibits weren't in English, hence to "only" 4 stars.
Strange to give a concentration camp a 5 star but it is a place to visit and reflect on what humans can do to one another if society breaks down. We shouldn't forget them.
It stands as a grim reminder of what humans are capable of, given the right circumstances. Really worth a visit, even if you're not that into history.
Great place for learning more about the topic. Too bad not all the information is in English too. The Kino was also closed without a heads-up.
Great museum presenting very sad part of the history. It's free of charge, but they don't have audio guides, which would be great addition to the experience, however there are plenty of writen information near every part of previous concentration camp.

Malbork Castle
Mentioned on
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Museum
Malbork Castle, also known as the Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork, is a 14th-century fortress that was originally built as a stronghold by the Teutonic Knights. Situated on the banks of the River Nogat, it served as their headquarters for almost 150 years. The castle now houses a museum with medieval artifacts, paintings, and an impressive amber collection.
Absolutely worth a visit! Tickets include an interactive online audio guide that not only tells you where to go but also shows key highlights on the screen. The range of available languages is impressive. The castle exhibition is massive, and the grounds are beautifully maintained. The whole tour takes about an hour. I recommend it more!"
Dovile J — Google review
It’s a fascinating place to explore, full of winding halls, towers, and hidden corners that really give you a feel of its medieval past. Walking through it is both fun and atmospheric, and you can easily spend hours discovering new details. The audio guide is excellent—clear, engaging, and full of stories that make the history come alive in a really enjoyable way.
Okay wow! This is a world heritage site and a must to visit when in Poland. So much history here and the engineering has stood the test of time. There's translation devices for most languages when you enjoy the walking tour. As an Orthodox Christian I can still enjoy the beauty and pure massiveness of this romantic place from another time.
I've never done a self guided or audio tour before, but this was definitely an awesome experience if you're into exploring historical sites. The audio guide was fairly detailed and the English speaking version was great. Each section had me engaged and excited for the next part of the tour. The whole experience was one I won't forget and I really wish I could've brought my family to experience it with me. I'd love to post more pictures, but I don't want to take away from the experience.
An amazing castle to tour. The audio guide is wonderful and guides you to all the rooms and gives interesting information. The castle is really fascinating and beautiful! The restaurant is also worth a visit with super delicious traditional food.
Really great tour experience. Self guided with English headset MP3 type of device. Easy to stay walking distance at nice hotels. Ordered the ticket type we wanted online the night before and simply go to the ticket office and receive an audio device.
The castle is very interesting amd definitely worth visiting! The building is split into multiple parts so the complex over all is HUGE and you can easily spend several hours just walking around. When I went the audio guide was included which was fairly nice, but a bit dry in terms of the content. It is difficult to find your way around the castle as most doors are not marked so the audio guide which literally tells you where to go, what door to open etc, was very useful for navigation. As a historic site it is really worth taking a day trip to visit the castle and the castle grounds.
Impressive architecture. With the audio guide it's a great history lesson. While it's pretty much an unfurnished castle there are some great displays such as the Amber Room, the armory with weapons ranging centuries from both European and Eastern countries.
In addition, the cellar restaurant was surprisingly excellent and fairly priced.
Recommend!

Quirky upside-down wooden cabin with 2 floors to explore, including displays of paintings.
It was fun! Loved seeing the long boards and upside down house. It was educational seeing the Syberian barracks, and various other examples of wood houses.
Donna R — Google review
Beautiful place to visit , the prices are pretty expensive thought.
Big free parking
People with babies I would suggest a harness and not a pushchair as it’s kind of rocky and not straight pavement.
There are few restaurants and a kids park.
Zip line purchase separately at 25zl
Entrance 47zl per person under 6 go free.
Interesting place to learn more about the WWII history of the region. Unfortunately a bit expensive for what you get. And most of the information is only in Polish.
We mistakenly thought this was a large outdoor museum but it's relatively small and you can't go in all the houses. It's an interesting way to spend 45 mins to an hour and is not expensive. There's also plenty of parking. There seemed to be a couple of restaurants but they weren't open in early April. We drove from Gdansk thinking we would be there hours, but never mind, the scenery around the park was nice.
Three parts, the first educational, the second fairy-tale and the third climbing. The fairy tale part needs fixing. Climbing is best for children and educational for older children. I gave one less star because each part is paid separately.
We visited this place for the second time.
It is still very interesting but we were very disappointed that most of the buildings were closed! In MAY! It was totally unacceptable to pay full price and get only 30% of buildings open.
Not disabled friendly at all, all the paths are uneven bumpy and lots of hills and stairs. Not the place to come if you struggle with your mobility or using a mobility scooter.
A very interesting "gravity defying" piece of architecture and construction work. A must visit place in the outskirts of Gdansk through a very scenic road . Everything inside & outside the house is upside down. Some people find get a bit dizzy after some time inside the house as human brain could take a bit of time to get adjusted to this unusual place. I had too much fun. There are basically 2 floors inside the house and one can go to both levels. Some interesting paintings are in the "second " floor. Good place for photography too.

Handicraft museum
Specialty Museums
Muzeum Piernika, located in a historic 1863 granary, offers an immersive experience into the tradition of gingerbread-making in Torun. Visitors can engage in hands-on baking activities and explore the city's rich history of gingerbread production. The cobblestone streets are filled with the enticing aroma of ginger and cinnamon, leading to numerous Piernik shops where visitors can sample some of the best gingerbread cookies.
This is a place you can’t miss when visiting Toruń. From the moment you enter, you can feel the great atmosphere—people are friendly and fun. It’s a fantastic spot for everyone, whether children or adults. You can learn how gingerbread was made in the past and even bake your own at the end of the experience. I recommend booking tickets in advance, as availability is limited and they sell out quickly.
Mateusz R — Google review
We visited as a family and had a wonderful experience. We joined the session with simultaneous English translation, which was very well done. The visit begins with a storytelling session that takes you through the history of gingerbread in the region, followed by a hands-on activity where you make your own gingerbread with traditional tools and guidance — a great mix of fun and learning.
What stood out to us was not just the content of the museum, but also the warmth and professionalism of the staff — from the hosts to the interpreters, everyone was incredibly welcoming and engaged.
There are also additional small activities that make the whole visit even more enjoyable, especially for kids. It’s truly an experience that appeals to both children and adults.
Torun itself is a beautiful and impressive city, and this museum is one of those special places that reflect its rich history in an interactive and memorable way. Highly recommended, especially for families looking to enjoy something meaningful and fun together.
This was pointed out to us by friends as a fun thing to do, so we bought tickets and waded in.
It's a museum plus interactive venue where you actually get to make some gingerbread.
You are actually informed, however, not to eat the gingerbread you make as the process is rushed and the recipe is not quite right.
Fun nonetheless.
It's fun and informative, so give it a go.
I was really excited to attend the Ginger Bread Making Tour and even planned my entire day around it. English tour... I was given earpieces to listen but extremely poor quality sound systems. It was such a poor experience(they only working hard on the sales of thier gingerbread) which was deeply disappointing given how much I was looking forward it. Anyway just interesting for kids.
Amazing experience! Super fun for the kids and adults! Staff is amazing and do a great job!
Very Good and Interactive muzeum from learning what gingerbreads are made from to making them yourself and them there is a chance to decorate your own gingerbread for an extra 8PLN that you can eat. There is 2 parts the medieval time and the early 20th century. When you are exploring Toruń it is certainly worth a visit. The show in English is at 2pm but in Polish it is every full hour.
We joined the 2pm English-synchronized tour and it was an overall great experience. I don't get those reviews that complain about the synchronisation. In our case, the guy that did the live translation added so much value. I guess humour is a matter of taste - but this was exactly my taste; give that man a raise! 😃
It was a very entertaining/interactive experience and the Polish language parts made the experience even more authentic to me.
Wow, what a great experience for kids and adults. The gingerbread class workshop is such a memorable experience. Excellent performance by the friendly staff. Would recommend it to anyone having a spare hour in old town Torun. Great location. Exit through a gift shop. Well worth the ticket price.

Przechodzący przez rzekę
Mentioned on
Sights & Landmarks
Monuments & Statues
"Przechodzący przez rzekę" is a striking sculpture in Bydgoszcz, Poland, depicting a young man crossing the river on a tightrope. Created by artist Jerzy Marian Kedziora, it has become an iconic symbol of the city. The sculpture commemorates Poland's accession to the EU and is one of the most popular and photographed attractions in Bydgoszcz.
This sculpture is a real surprise, which, at least for me, has become a kind of symbol of the city of Bydgoszcz. Both the symbolism - balancing on a rope in the middle of the river - and the integration into the environment of the old city are fascinating.

Very interesting statue of a boy walking across the river
“Przechodzący przez rzekę” in Bydgoszcz is a unique sculpture of a man balancing on a tightrope above the Brda River. Symbolizing the city’s transition to the future, it’s an impressive and iconic piece that beautifully blends art with the urban landscape.
“Crossing the River” sculpture in Bydgoszcz is definitely an interesting piece of art. It’s designed in such a way that it truly looks like the figure is balancing on a wire, trying to maintain their balance. A very creative and eye-catching installation — definitely a great photo spot!”
It's a sculpture to commemorate joining Poland to EU. It is one of the most popular and photographed sculptures in Bydgoszcz, but in my opinion, there are a lot of other, better ones.
In one hand he is holding a pole. In the other hand he is holding an arrow and on his neck there are Roman sandals, both of which refer to the oldest city's sculpture and the main symbol of Bydgoszcz - Łuczniczka (The Archer).
It is probably the most visited and photographed place in Bydgoszcz. The ‘tightrope walker’, also known as the ‘man crossing the river’ (Przechodzący przez rzekę) is a sculpture of a naked man holding a pole and two arrows while balancing on a wire. It stretches across the Brda River by the city centre and was created by Jerzy Kędziora. It was unveiled on May 1, 2004, the famous day when Poland joined the European Union and is designed so that its centre of gravity is below the wire, which gives it its balance. Definetely it is one of the city’s iconic points of interest.It is probably the most visited and photographed place in Bydgoszcz.

This is a new artwork, that seems to ignore the laws of physics. That acrobat is guarding day & night, summer & winter, under the rain and snow and also under the strong wind, the central bridge over Brda in Bidgoszcz.

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

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

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

Really large and nice park with lots to see. There’s some mobile ice cream and coffee places. The park could however use some maintenance in terms of grass cutting. It would also be nice to have more places to sit.
A really great park where u can let yourself get lost in. Truly amazing to visit. I spent half of day here by myself and it was really nice. There are a lot of historical spots related to the first and second world war, as well as cemeteries with unknown soldiers. Nice places for picnic, for biking, there are even some terraces really cosy and friendly. Very very nice, definitely one of the most beautiful things to see in Poznan!
Beautiful memorial park for sure. It’s worth the visit. The escapees from the great escape are buried here.
A massive park next to Poznań old town. So many walking trails to do, play areas, public gyms, cafés, bars, gardens, statues, memorials, an amphitheatre and even a war museum displaying tanks and aeroplanes. So much to do here whether it's a quick walk or a family day out. The history of this place is everywhere. Definitely recommend.
A big park, good for a walk in nature. There is also a armour or tank museum.
The park is quite big, you can easily spend hours there.
Beautiful,enormous park. What a shame everything is only described in Polish. I didn't realise I was visiting former POW camps! Impressive. Signs would also be good,especially for the Nierozpoznani statues. There were several people looking for places. The Umberto restaurant is fantastic with a lot of choice for vegans and vegetarians

Wonderful park created by Prince Pückler in 1846 with ponds, waterways and bridges. Earth pyramids on land and in the middle of a pond are lovely.
A fine castle with sculptures is inspired by Greek, Roman and Oriental mythologies.
The castle's interior is splendid.
In my opinion more intriguing than Bad Muskau Park.
Jayjay V — Google review
We drove out early because it was going to be a very hot day (34 C) and we had our dog with us. The inner park is beautiful with incredible trees. They’re all well looked after and the paths go through nice shaded and open areas. You can tell Fürst Pückler loved nature and things dear to him. Where else would you find a grave for his dog, his favourite Arabian horse and a pyramid for his wife. It’s certainly worth while coming here also during the other seasons to see the colours of the trees. The mansion costs 9€ entrance fee and has a big collection of paintings and a beautiful library. There are 3 places where you can take a break. We had lunch at the „Kavalier“ and ended the tour at the cafe „Der Kleine Kavalier“, where we also got water for the dog (don‘t worry, we had enough water for him with us)
Branitz Park is the perfect escape in Cottbus — a peaceful, green space where you can sit quietly, enjoy nature, and let your mind relax. It’s great for a picnic, cycling, or a run with friends.
The atmosphere is calm and soothing, making it ideal for meditation in the fresh air. I especially love visiting on a sunny morning or during the golden hour in the evening — the light makes everything feel magical.
Whether you want to be active or just unwind, this park is a true gem in the city. 🌳☀️
Beautiful place! Amazing park and palace! 👑😍
Best Park ever...simply visit when in the area.
Quiet beautiful green place where fullfil your soul with peace and calm
Nice place to walk and relax.
It says we can't ride a cycle at the entrance. But it's more when cycling I guess. It's calm, beautiful and people who love to have these food dates in nature must visit. Nothing is available to buy though, bring everything with you and keep the premises clean.

A little way from the main tourist attractions, it’s a pleasant walk along the river Spree to see the longest remaining part of the Berlin
Wall.
1.3 km in length, decorated by over 100 artists with short information boards along the way.
Here you get a feel of what a divided city this was. Only the 3.6 m inner wall remains but add the boundary signal fence, 3m border fence and a watchtower every 600 meters to appreciate how separate both sides must have felt.

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

Berlin Wall Memorial
Mentioned on
Memorial park
Sights & Landmarks
The Berlin Wall Memorial is a preserved section of the original wall that once divided West Berlin from Democratic Germany. This 800-meter-long monument on Bernauerstrasse serves as a reminder of the historic divide and the unity of the German people.
It keeps alive the memories of those whose lives were shaped by the Wall, illustrating its impact on families and everyday life. After the park, visit the nearby exhibition: it tells detailed personal stories from both sides of reunification and is beautifully curated. A few video stations were out of order, yet the overall presentation is so thorough that I still give it five stars. Highly recommended if you want to grasp Berlin’s history up close.

A powerful and emotional place to visit. The Berlin Wall Memorial offers a deep insight into the city’s divided past. The preserved section of the wall, watchtower, and detailed exhibits tell the stories of those affected by the separation. Walking along the open-air site feels moving and reflective. The information boards are clear and engaging, available in multiple languages. It’s not just a monument, but a reminder of history and hope. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to understand Berlin’s past beyond just seeing the wall itself. A must-visit for history lovers and thoughtful travelers alike.
It was hard to get to because GPS was all over the place but once you get here, it's a well maintained historical type park. Every step there is an explanation or a story about the people who lived in the area before and after the walls went up. They were nice enough to have English translations. The stories of the the people's struggles with examples of their determination to be with the ones they loved were sadly inspirational and thought provoking.
This free, open-air memorial is definitely worth a visit. Its thought provoking and very interesting. I particularly liked the viewing platform where you get a real feel of what the wall was like. Also, this was not crowded at all.
Incredible place to understand Germany's history especially when there was an East & West Berlin. The lives that these people lived during that era and the atrocities faced, is very fascinating to learn about
Take the walk and visit each section. There are remnants of the wall, structures and the steel supports still standing. Along the way are information plaques and pictures that provide more historical information. It’s somber to see and think about those impacted at the time. Worth the visit.
Visiting the Berlin Wall was a moving experience. I spent an hour or so walking its length, reading the stories, and reflecting. It is a powerful memorial, honoring the resilience and struggles of the people of both East and West Berlin.
This exhibit is a must see! The inside exhibit has detailed information regarding the history and proces of constructing the wall. The exterior exhibit has a 100 meter portion of the original Berlin wall. The articles and information next to each segment give the history and evolution of the wall. Make sure you allocate about 2 hours to truly absorb the total amount of information and articles.

The Pergamonmuseum is a museum complex located on Museum Island in Berlin, comprising five historical institutions across three wings. It houses an impressive collection of ancient Roman, Greek, Babylonian, and Persian artifacts. The museum is currently undergoing extensive renovations to repair structural damage and is expected to fully reopen by 2037. However, the North Wing and central area are set to reopen in 2027.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love this place! 🥹 It was a one-time visit but so enriching and unforgettable. Walking inside felt like traveling back in time The Ishtar Gate was absolutely breathtaking 💙 and seeing the stone with Hammurabi’s laws ⚖️ gave me chills.
And then the Roman Market Gate left me speechless. The size, the details, the feeling of standing in front of such a masterpiece… it was beyond words.
Everything is displayed beautifully, it feels like a smooth journey through civilizations. Honestly, it’s not just “old things,” it’s history talking to you ✨ Highly recommend it if you’re in Berlin 🙌

If you haven't seen this museum till now, don't lose the chance to get familiar with the awesome history of great ancient human civilizations, it also can be interesting for kids or teenagers. Apparently it is gradually getting under construction section after another section, unfortunately I missed some important parts due to the reconstruction work, later on I had to check the missing parts on the original video & virtual tour of the museum.
One can easily spend more than 2 hours here if interested. The collection is huge and enormous. Definitely one of the largest museums.The audio guide is very well designed. The Mesopotamian, Babylonian and Islamic collections are incredible.
12 euros for direct ticket bought at the museum.
Online booking in advance could help.
A must visit museum in Berlin.
Museum has so much collection of historical antique items.
Ishtar gate is the main attraction and it's beautiful and huge.
Also the Roman market fascade is huge and it's well preserved in museum.
Audio guide helps in getting the information easily about all the artifacts.
Very much recommended museum in Berlin.
Not a bad place. Not too big but enough to see. Pictures attached.
It has very good disability access and the staff are very friendly.
You need to leave your bags in lockers and need a euro or a 2 euro coin, which is returned after you take your stuff back out.
Very bright and airy.
Great perspective with the life size exhibits.
Worth a visit but it isn't free.
We did no wait because we had purchased the tickets online, but for ticket sale the line was about two hours long(on a Tuesday in the middle of the day). The museum is incredibly constructed and truly remarkable! Very full indeed though. Still, worth a visit while in Berlin.
The best museum I have visited so far in Berlin! Very rich and huge group of artifacts from a wide range of Civilizations like Ancient Civilizations, Greek and Roman, Islamic… I booked the tickets online and entered with no wait time, there are Audi devices in several languages as well.
One of the most interesting museums I have ever been to. Would surely recommend to anyone who likes history. Alot to learn and much beauty to admire. It took us about 3 hours without rushing and we were able to walk through all the exhibits.
TIP: Make sure to carry an A4 size bag if you would like to carry some water or any thing else inside with you.
There is a coat check area and lockers for bigger bags. You just need 1-2 Euro to access them which you can get back at the end of your tour. Enjoy!

Reichstag Building
Mentioned on
Government office
Sights & Landmarks
The Reichstag Building, a Neo-Renaissance parliament structure, boasts a striking Norman Foster-designed glass dome offering panoramic views of Berlin's government district. Despite enduring damage from fires and air raids in the 20th century, the building has been meticulously restored. Visitors can explore its historical significance, including Soviet graffiti from the Battle of Berlin.
If you do one thing In Berlin, it should definitely be this place! The views are incredible and the architecture of the dome is amazing. I am afraid of heights and I certainly didn’t expect to love it so much, not even a wobble! It strangely feels so safe. Incredible!
It’s free to visit but Make sure you book on their website to visit the earlier the better! As we did and you should hear back very quickly. There is security to go through and the lift to the top is not all glass.

An amazing building to visit when in Berlin. Tickets must be booked well in advance. We booked for breakfast which was delicious with excellent views of Berlin. You cannot get in the restaurant unless you have booked . We were so glad we did . We arrived before our allotted time as it takes time to go through security. Once in you are free to explore the Norman Foster glass dome with 360 degree views of Berlin. It is an impressive structure to top such an iconic building. A real mix of modern and classical architecture with so much history
One of the most famous tourist attractions in Berlin.
You need to book online before visiting the building and the dome.
Interesting historical building with a modern glass dome.
The architecture is impressive, but the visit feels a bit overrated.
Long waiting times and security checks make the experience less enjoyable.
The view from the dome is nice, but not as spectacular as expected.
One of the best things I did whilst in Berlin. From the famous dome you can see across Berlin, allowing you to see uninterrupted sights of the cities best and most famous locations. When you reach the top floor, make sure to pick up a pamphlet on your left. This will show the whole panoramic view from the top of the dome. It points out major sights, including some of the prettiest buildings I’ve ever seen. Once you reach the top, the open air dome with seats around the centre allow you to sit or lay back and relax. For our mad touristy day this made a nice break. I could sit here for hours. I’m confused why it isn’t busy as it was a spectacle every tourist needs to see! Security is tight as this is the main government building in Germany. Many high profile politicians and government officials come here daily. Make sure to bring some IDENTIFICATION if you don’t you will be refused entry! Bags are also searched.
One of my favourite parts of my trip! Would recommend to everyone.
The sheer size of the structure is simply enormous. When I first saw it, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It’s a marvel to witness how they managed to construct an entire structure and place a modern dome on top. The entrance to the building is well-organized and heavily guarded, which is completely justified. As you ascend to the dome, you can explore the surrounding areas. It’s an incredible experience to walk up the slope of the dome to reach the top. At the base of the dome, you can learn about the building’s history and how the German government has evolved over time. The views are breathtaking, so I highly recommend hiring you to recommend this place to everyone.
You will need to make sure to make arrangements ahead of time to visit this place. Ticket is a must and needs to be planned in advance.
I first went to the front lawn of the Reichstag and then rode around the Spree to catch a glimpse from across the river. It looked majestic from every direction. Standing there gave me a perspective — life can be cruel, but these monuments have witnessed history, stood the test of time, and still remain strong.
The Reichstag is well worth visiting, especially for the glass dome with its panoramic views of Berlin. Entry is free, but advance online registration is required, and security is strict, so plan some extra time. The visit is well-organized and informative, with a good balance of sightseeing and learning about the German parliament.
It’s a beautiful building and it’s free to get inside. There are so people waiting to get inside and too much control. Also, I was waiting a more impressive view, but finally it was ok. It’s a great place to take some pictures.

Brandenburg Gate
Mentioned on
Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
The Brandenburg Gate is an 18th-century landmark in Berlin, featuring 12 Doric columns topped by a classical goddess statue. It holds great historical significance as a symbol of German reunification and was once off-limits to both West and East Germans during the Cold War era.
It's the most iconic landmark of Berlin and probably the whole of Germany. A great place to stand and think about all the history that has taken place there, and as such it's a popular and lively place to be, especially in the evenings. I visited twice, once in the evening (lady singing protest songs, guys making bubbles for little people to pop, loads of families out and people taking photos) and once at 7am on Sunday morning (I was literally the only person there as the sun was rising); you choose which vibe suits you best!

An absolutely iconic landmark standing here feels like stepping right into history! 🇩🇪 The architecture is breathtaking, especially at sunset when the lights make it glow beautifully. The atmosphere around the gate is lively yet peaceful, with street performers, photographers, and tourists from all over the world.
It’s not just a monument it’s a symbol of unity and freedom. Perfect place for amazing photos, evening walks, and soaking in Berlin’s rich culture. Definitely a must-visit in Germany! ✨
A symbol of German unity and European peace, this site is an essential visit when in Berlin. It serves as a profound reminder of historical events. During our visit, the area was not overly crowded, which was quite pleasant. The sunlight illuminating the monument created a truly beautiful spectacle. The location is readily accessible via any mode of transportation.
Berlin is a unique city where past and future meet. The Museum Island is extraordinary, and walking along the Berlin Wall remains moving. The city is lively, multicultural, full of art and nightlife. Great international food and convenient transport to get around everywhere.
Visited September 2025. This was my first stop after arriving in Berlin. It is a real cool Roman style gate. The details in the design are elegant. This is a good starting point for traveling around the area to see a large number of historical attractions.
It’s a must see in Berlin as it forms the backdrop to so much of Berlin’s history. We arrived just after 9 on a Monday morning before the crowds arrive, but even at 4 in the afternoon there was no problem moving through the area.
The U-Bahn has a stop in Unter den Linden within 100 metres of the gate, and the road is generally closed to traffic. There are good interpretive signs about the various architectural and decorative aspects of the structure. The Berlin Wall line lies just to the east of the Gate and can be followed throughout the city.
There are a number of eateries in close proximity, from street food to restaurants, as well as other historical locations.
Standing here feels powerful — history, freedom, and unity all in one place. Especially beautiful at sunset when the lights come on. A true symbol of Berlin
Breathtaking place with a lot of history behind it. Go early morning or late night if you want to take the best picture since the place gets crowded during the day. Best pictures at night because of the lighting.

Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
Mentioned on
Memorial
Sights & Landmarks
The memorial is located in Berlin, Germany, and is dedicated to the thousands of Jewish victims of the Nazi genocide. The blocks of concrete are arranged in a mazelike fashion and are said to represent the unending cycle of violence inflicted on the Jews. The information office below the memorial holds records, letters, diaries, and photographs from Holocaust victims.
Walking through the rows of concrete blocks creates a strange and unsettling feeling that stays with you. It’s a space that invites silence and reflection. There are no signs or explanations in the field itself, which makes the experience even more personal. I also recommend visiting the underground information center to better understand the history. A must-see for anyone who wants to connect with the past in a meaningful way.
Federico D — Google review
Its an interesting monument but I found that having very little information available or from the tour guide a bit average. Nobody knows the designers' reasons for the layout, etc, and it's left to your imagination. I didn't find it a moving monument like others and didn't feel it really captured the gravity of the situation or really provided a strong memorial for thise lost unfortunately, but thats just my view.
It seemed to just be a bunch of concrete blocks and I feel so much more could have been done
This site is a memorial dedicated to the six million Jewish men, women, and children who were murdered during World War II. Visitors are asked to maintain a respectful attitude while on the grounds. For some, this is a powerful reminder of history; for others, it’s a deeply personal place to remember and honor loved ones.
A truly wonderful free museum lies beneath these memorial stones. We had a very thought provoking and deeply interesting 90 minutes in this museum. It's beautifully put together and you need to take the time to observe and absorb all the information on show. It's time well spent.
★★★★★
The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe hits hard. Its 2,711 stark concrete slabs, sprawling yet suffocating, force you to feel the weight of history. Designed by Peter Eisenman, opened in 2005, it’s a gut-punch tribute to the Holocaust’s victims. Wander the uneven paths—silence creeps in. Respectful yet raw, it’s unmissable. Visit at dusk for haunting vibes.
Great monument, quite immersive. Been there at night in November which adds to the atmosphere of the total silent horror. Never again. Am israel chai.
A good place to explore the history. The memorials were proposed by a new york architect in early 2000s. Would recommend to visit the museum under them as well
A very somber area located in Central Berlin designed to be very thought provoking in remembering the 6 million men women & children murdered by the German nazi party.

Topography of Terror
Mentioned on
History museum
Museums
The Topography of Terror, also known as the Museum of the Gestapo, is a modern center located on the former site of the Gestapo headquarters. It documents the horrors of Nazism and provides visitors with a comprehensive understanding of the SS and police operations during World War II. The main exhibit showcases documents, photographs, audio, and film to highlight the crimes committed during this dark period in history.
A learning experience, it takes you through history chronologically, which is very interesting. We had a guide beforehand that had given us lots of stories of escape attempts and interesting facts which nicely framed the visit. Certainly woth a visit and quite mind blowing how relatively recent this was still the status Quo
Tom B — Google review
A totally shocking museum of the horrors of the Nazi regime. It is an extensive documentation of the brutal treatment of certain sections of society that did not fit in with the party's ideals. An outside display covers the pre-war to post-war eras and inside the museum large displays are enhanced by information boards covering aspects of the subject in more detail.
A must visit museum if you are in Berlin.
Can be busy with school groups.
Free entrance.
The Topography of Terror is a powerful and very moving place to visit. The exhibition is well-presented, informative and deeply thought-provoking, showing the darkest part of German’s history. A must-see for anyone wanting to understand the city beyond its landmarks. This exhibition proves that Berlin doesn’t hide history, they learn from it.
Excellent. Since I last visited, they have added an indoor exhibition which is very good. It's also free and we thought it was better than the Checkpoint Charlie museum that we paid €18 to visit.
The Topography of Terror is an absolutely incredible and essential place to visit in Berlin. It was truly one of the best experiences I had, especially when listening to the audio guide—it brings the whole site to life. It's incredibly powerful and thought-provoking. I highly recommend it!
Interesting photo gallery with detailed information about WW ll and the Berlin wall. Mixture of German and foreign visitors. Entrance is free, but be aware that this is an open air historical place.
If you’re interested in history, especially the events surrounding World War II and the Nazi regime, the Topography of Terror is a must-visit in Berlin. Located on the site where the SS and Gestapo headquarters once stood, this open-air and indoor museum offers a powerful and sobering look into one of the darkest chapters in human history.
Through photographs, documents, and audio-visual materials, the exhibition presents a detailed account of how the Nazi regime used terror to control and persecute. The outdoor section also preserves part of the Berlin Wall, adding to the historical depth of the site.
Admission is free, and it’s very well-organized, with information available in both German and English. It’s a moving experience that encourages reflection and understanding — not just of Germany’s past, but of the importance of human rights and democratic values today.
Absolutely free and very well-equipped with educational materials. Must visit for history lovers. Excellent location in the city centre with the remainings of Berlin wall in its yard.

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

Great place to hiking, on website was mentioned that all roads are expert, but as I feel you can go even with kids. One minus, if you want to sit on the top in restaurant you need to pay for entrance, I think it strange decision , as you will pay for food and drinks. Queue for tickets in weekend 15-25 min
In a stunning location amazing place for those who like hiking. It is quite steep in places but the path is beautifully done so everyone can do it. The hike took about 1.5 hours to get to the most incredible natural arch I have ever seen and it is worth to get exhausted on the way. The award on the top is fantastic, lovely restaurant and magnificent views. Access to the final part is restricted by times so it is worth to check out before trip to avoid disappointment and also you have to pay for it but cost is not expensive. Car park available on the bottom in the nearest town.
Truly amazing natural formation.
The walk is a bit far from the bottom but manageable. Bring comfortable shoes, open toe are not recommended, there's a lot of loose gravel, sand, and boulders. Once at the top the cost at the main door is 125 kc, but online you can pay 50 kc. Definitely recommended. Walk along the outside edge of the archway and get some great pictures.
We had an extremely interesting hiking experience, saw incredible landscapes and beauties. You have to see it with your own eyes.
Parking for a car costs 12 euros.
It takes from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to climb up, depending on your physical condition. Entrance to the most interesting places on the mountain costs 5 euros. The road from Prague by car is about 2 hours.
Interesting, beautiful, you will not regret it
Well… even just being here means surrendering yourself to the genius loci of this world-class natural wonder! So close one eye a little.. enjoy your refreshment in this rather simple buffet.. and don’t be surprised by the crowds. What truly matters is the wooden chateau itself.. magnificent building that literally breathes history.
Good experience with family to take a loooooong walk in the nature. Need to have good shoes on, water. We paid to get inside the restaurant and the Gallery, but the toilets are out of drift, yes, after long trip, you are enjoying your beer, and then realize no WC. Some of the paths are not easy to walk, just be safe. Again the waitress doesn't speak English at all.
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.

Beautifull! You need see nice in the life. There are so many people. I’m not good in german so would be better to read all things in english as well.
Best place for hiking.
The Elbe Sandstone Mountains are in Gemany, not the Tsjech Republic. I was there last year and can really recommend it, its absolutely beautiful. We went by bicycle from Dresden, and back again but my honest opinion is that I would rather take the boat next time as this was way too much cycling for me. But it enabled me to see all the villages on the way. Dresden is such a beautiful city
Nice place
Must go
CHRIST
The Elbe Sandstone Mountains are a wonder of nature — towering cliffs, labyrinthine rock formations, and endless views that seem sculpted by both time and imagination. Their rugged geometry is softened by forests that stretch endlessly, painting the landscape in shades of green. Every trail feels like a journey into a fairytale, with breathtaking vistas at every turn.
What makes the experience even more magical is the presence of crystal-clear spring water. Flowing from the depths of these ancient rocks, the springs are pure, refreshing, and invigorating — nature’s own elixir for weary hikers. Taking a sip feels like drinking in the mountains themselves, a reminder of their timeless vitality.
The Elbe Sandstone Mountains are more than scenery; they are a living, breathing masterpiece where stone, forest, and water come together in harmony. A destination that refreshes both body and spirit.

It is part of the magnificent architectural ensemble in Dresden, often referred to as 'The Florence on the Elbe,' which includes the Semper Opera House, Zwinger, Royal Palace, Cathedral St. Trinitatis (Hofkriche), and Castle Pillnitz.
This church is majestic and feels like a center piece of the city. The surrounding area with the church makes this place very picturesque. There is a called rubble from the past that is kept next to the church which is a nice little touch. This is definitely a must visit site in Dresden

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

Fürstenzug
Mentioned on
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
In Dresden, Saxony, one of the most captivating attractions is the Fürstenzug, also known as the Procession of Princes. This impressive 102-meter-long mural made of 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles showcases the history of the House of Wettin, spanning from the 12th to the 19th century.
The Fürstenzug in Dresden is an impressive mural made of Meissen porcelain tiles, depicting the history of Saxon rulers. At over 100 meters long, it is one of the largest porcelain artworks in the world. The level of detail in the figures is truly fascinating, bringing history to life. A must-see historical landmark when visiting Dresden!

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

You really need two to three hours to truly enjoy the detail of each and every piece of art! Also the history behind!
If you visit Dresden, don’t miss this great collection!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

A really lovely and modern building, which feels very light and airy. Our tour guide was excellent, providing great facts and stories. Well worth the visit, which is a 30 minute train ride from Dresden, and then a 10 minute walk from the train station.
Tip: The cafe was surprisingly good! You have the option of indoor or outdoor seating.

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

The memorial includes a museum that provides insightful and powerful information about the tragic events. Visitors can also stroll through peaceful rose gardens and view touching bronze statues honoring the innocent victims. Many find the experience deeply moving and feel a strong connection to the village that once stood there.

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.

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.
