Erfurt Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+26 other lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Erfurt Cathedral, also known as St. Mary's Cathedral, is a stunning Roman Catholic church that beautifully showcases both Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. Perched on the picturesque Domberg hill alongside the Church of St. Severus, this magnificent structure boasts intricate stained glass windows and remarkable works of art dating back to the 15th century. With its origins tracing back to 742 AD, Erfurt Cathedral stands as one of Germany's finest examples of Gothic architecture.
Erfurt Cathedral is impressive. Its architecture is very detailed which attracts a lot of attention. its interiors are very spacious and inside it is very quiet and dark. For me, the most impressive thing was the organ, it was gigantic. I highly recommend your visit, as it is fascinating to get to know this ancient cathedral.

Absolutely amazing architecture really beautiful cathedral. Only disappointing thing is wasn’t able to view the inside but that is because I arrived in the evening although the view of the cathedral at night is also spectacular and even from the outside truly worth a visit very nice.
Karissa G — Google review
This cathedral is massive and must have really intimidated people back in the day. I've never seen anything like it, though someone told me there's another large one in another German city. This cathedral dominates this small city. Pictures don't capture the humongous size; you have to see it in-person to get the full effect. It communicates power. The inside is beautiful, and in one area people pray and reflect, making it a peaceful place to visit.
Margaret L — Google review
This church has so many architectural details from the outside and from inside as well. The construction is huge and is a landmark for the city of Erfurt. It could be worth visiting once, however I noticed that they were closing the gates going to the inside yard of the church in the evening.
Adnan Q — Google review
Amazing cathedral, very much worth the trek up the stairs. When I visited I was also lucky enough to experience a choir sing in there as well. Was magical!
Jibran K — Google review
Erfurt Cathedral of St. Mary is an impressive Gothic church that towers above the Domplatz. Its history dates back to the 8th century, with the current structure mainly built in the 14th and 15th centuries. The cathedral is especially famous for the Gloriosa, the largest free-swinging medieval bell in the world. Inside, visitors are captivated by vibrant stained glass windows, ornate altars, and the magnificent Romanesque crypt.

Krämerbrücke

Mentioned on 
+29 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Krämerbrücke, also known as the chandlers bridge, is a historic landmark in Erfurt, Germany. It is the longest inhabited bridge in Europe and features half-timbered houses that now house galleries, cafes, antique shops, and boutiques. This medieval bridge offers a glimpse into the city's rich history and provides stunning views of Erfurt from its cobblestone street.
This is probably the first thing you should visit as a tourist in Erfurt - it's beautiful, there's lots of cute little shops, you can get some ice cream and sit and enjoy the view of this beautiful bridge and all the people who are walking past. There were lots of tourist groups, but it was still relatively quiet. I'd really recommend coming here!
Ripple E — Google review
Amazing how they managed to build this beautiful bridge with the shops and apartments so many years ago before there was any modern machinery! The fact that it is still standing after all these decades is a marvel! I loved the whole experience!
Elmarie M — Google review
Very lovely views and lots of unique history here. Definitely worth a visit.
Christina M — Google review
Really cool that one can be walking down the street without even realizing being on the Merchant's bridge. Definitely take a moment to walk outside and see the bridge then walk back through - really cool. There are a lot of little plazas around to stop and relax with a lot of little ice cream shops within a small area.
Lisa K — Google review
The Krämerbrücke in Erfurt is the longest bridge in Europe that is completely covered with inhabited buildings. It spans the Gera River and connects Benediktsplatz with Wenigemarkt in the heart of the old town. Small shops, galleries, and artisan workshops line the bridge, giving it a charming medieval atmosphere. It is one of Erfurt’s most famous landmarks and a popular spot for both locals and visitors.
Marc B — Google review

Saalfeld Fairy Grottoes

Amusement park
Nature & Parks
Family-friendly tours of a shale mining caves, plus an interactive museum & fairy-themed park.
This place is pretty amazing specially for kids, the language of the guide is german, yet its very fun to go through it, its like around one hour , the green scenes around are also beautiful, if your around you should visit this place
Amy H — Google review
Great experience, but the guide tour was only in German and the recordings were much sporter than the guides speaches which made the kids a bit unrested since none of us understood anything that was being said. What was really good was the Fairy garden above the 'grotten'. Recommend big time!
Jennie K — Google review
A wonderful spot to visit in Thüringen. Well maintained and presented. The museum also does a great job in giving the details about the work of miners of the old times. Highly recommended!!
Arjun P — Google review
Worth a visit once. For those nerds, who're interested in history and mining science, please do go. Everything is very well preserved from the past and it's quite amidst the nature as well. One thing to note: For those who don't understand Deutsch/German, you might need to translate everything. The government must promote this place as it's got lots of history and every information should be made available in English too.
Aryaman A — Google review
Saalfeld Feengrotten on Halloween was something magical. The Adams Family theme added an extra layer of charm to the already fascinating caves. From intricate decorations to well-thought-out details, the ambiance was perfect for the occasion. The staff's commitment to the theme and their enthusiastic engagement with visitors enhanced the overall experience. The pumpkin arrangements throughout the venue were not only visually appealing but also showcased a creative touch that added to the festive spirit. The guided tour was informative, providing insights into the geological wonders of the caves while maintaining a spooky and entertaining atmosphere. The attention to detail in every aspect of the Halloween setup demonstrated the dedication of the organizers. It was a memorable experience, making my visit to Saalfeld Feengrotten on Halloween truly special.
Harshitha N — Google review
An amazing tourist spot to visit in Thuringia. The tour inside the cave was fantastic (although you'll need German to understand) but it was very amazing 😍 you can also taste the water coming from the cave.
Hanan — Google review
The Feenweltchen is good made. From the entrance door (after scanned your ticket), the entrance house will give you feeling that you are entering fairy world 🙂. The first stop, you can get Face or Body painting by the Fairy. Then from there you can explore the Fairy World. Totally recommend for toddler and bigger kids.
Marina T — Google review
This was a great place for the kids to visit, but the grottos and their stalactite formations weren't as impressive as other cave systems I have seen. In all, there are 3 or 4 small caves with fairly small stalactite and stalacmite formations located in a disused slate mine. What it lacks in spelunking wonders, it makes up in entertainment for the kids. The underground tour was informative, but is only conducted in German. An audio tour headset is available for other languages. The fairy adventure park consumed another hour or so, but will likely suit kids to about 7 or so only. Not bad, but not sure the considerable drive was worth it.

We hiked up from Bad Frankenhausen. Nice little Hike. This is an impressive Museum. The Painting is amazing and captures the history of this Battle really well. When we got there it was pretty empty. The Cafe closes at 4pm. Worth a visit for sure if you are in the area
Terence H — Google review
Great experience with all the background information, but especially at the entrance area unprofessional staff.
Mathias G — Google review
Magnificent piece of art and a good display putting it into context. But it is difficult to understand the museum displays if you do not speak English and you don't know much about the Reformation and the German Peasants' War. The audio guide is useful for understanding the painting. To a certain extent though it felt like the town is embarrassed by this Museum and sees it as a relic of the GDR they would rather not have. ButI do encourage you to visit and celebrate the struggles of the past for freedom and a world without exploitation and oppression. La Lutte Continua, as they say.
Martin E — Google review
Super intetesting place. Even more so if you do a little research about the whole project beforehand. Entrance fee is 8€ per adulte. I took a guided tour for 1€ extra. It wasn't bad but a little boring. Definitely worth seeing for the scale of the painting alone
Karen M — Google review
A unique experience that's definitely unlike the multitude of cathedrals and old towns in the region. The long-version audioguide is 1h 15min is outstanding and is a must to receive the full experience. While created mostly in the 1980s, it has nothing to do with the DDR philosophy, though the painting is full of symbolism and meaning. A pair of binoculars would be helpful if you happen to have it with you. Allow enough time for the visit - at least 1.5 hours.
Oleg K — Google review
If you’re an art purist then this is possibly not the place for you ... but for anyone else it’s worth making a significant detour to visit this stunning panorama. The “purist” question is why a mid 20th century painter should produce a work rather reminiscent of, say, Bruegel. Yet the work is extremely well executed, with a mass of detail in each of the several scenes that make up its enormous 14m high circle, with a circumference of 123 metres. The English language audio guide is excellent and adds greatly to enjoying the work - we opted for the shorter version, which we felt gave a good level of detail. The painting is also a fascinating piece of social history, having been commissioned by the East German Government, to present the Peasants’ War as part of the glorious legacy of their people ... yet the painting does nothing to glorify the struggle of the “Peasants”, and is full of religious imagery that would normally have been an anathema to the Government ... you have to wonder just how happy the sponsors were with the results of their commission. The museum restaurant is good (of its type!). Interestingly, its menu features some typical DDR dishes, although these are not highlighted as such. When visiting the museum, make sure you also go into Bad Frankenhausen to see the church with the (steeply!) leaning steeple. If visiting by public transport, especially in the winter season, there are several more buses on weekdays than at the weekend. Also, note that some of the advertised buses run only if requested by phone two hours in advance! However, “normal” services run to and from Artern station. If arriving by bus walk up to the “crooked church” and then either follow the road to the museum car park, or the footpath that goes more directly up the hill. In places the footpath is quite steep and not made up, but it is an attractive walk.
George H — Google review
Very interesting museum, worlds largest panorama painting. The location may be somewhat weird and far away from other sites. Nevertheless it's worth the journey if you like art. It's really impressive. Although it's created during DDR adminidtrstion the artist himself calls it a "Christian painting". Take the audiotour, it's worth every penny (EUR 1,-).

Goethe's House is a well-maintained former residence of the renowned German writer, showcasing pieces from his art collection and offering guided tours. The audio guide provided is informative and the story behind the house is captivating. The garden within the premises boasts a plethora of stunning flora making it an essential destination to visit not just in Weimar but in all of Germany. Goethe was a revered figure and his abode serves as a testimony to his legacy with its impressive art collection on display.
Beautiful huge house on a lovely square in Weimar. I did not listen to the audio tour and managed to enjoy viewing Goethe’s city home. I recently read Andrea Wulf’s Inventing Nature about Alexander Von Humboldt’s friendship with Goethe, and more. Fascinating! The floors of this old house were really creaky.

The Goethe museum costs pp € 13 pp. The Wohnung was to us the most interesting part. The other part of the museum contains many objects owned by Goethe among which several portraits. That part of the museum is definitely interesting but also has a somewhat hagiographic nature.
Monika — Google review
I really enjoyed this experience, especially having the app to lead you through the house was amazing. Genius to have it play when you hold your phone up to your ear! Also, the backyard was extremely beautiful and it really made you feel like you walked in the same house as Goethe, it was beautiful.
Ripple E — Google review
Goethe's House, or Goethes Wohnhaus, is a captivating museum that offers an in-depth look into the life of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The museum provides comprehensive insights into Goethe's personal and professional life, with well-curated exhibits that include original manuscripts, personal belongings, and detailed descriptions of his contributions to literature and science. The historical ambiance of the house, combined with the extensive information provided, makes it an enriching experience for visitors. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in German literature and the life of one of its most influential figures.

Duchess Anna Amalia Library

Mentioned on 
+31 other lists 
Library
Museums
The Duchess Anna Amalia Library, also known as the Historical Library, is located in Weimar's Green Palace, a grand Renaissance building dating back to 1563. As part of the Weimar Classical UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ornate and restored library boasts a significant collection of historic manuscripts, books, and music. It houses over a million books including medieval signatures and some of Europe's earliest printed books.
This was an extremely beautiful part of Weimar that I'd recommend to anyone. You have to reserve a spot beforehand! And make sure you have the Weimar+ app downloaded so you can listen to all the explanations. Also, you'll have to wear slippers over your shoes to protect the floor inside the library, which makes total sense.
Ripple E — Google review
A beautifully restored and maintained library representing the decadence and thirst for knowledge of years past. It’s a great location and not too far away from the main shopping district in the old city. Entry is for a fee of roughly €10 per person and kids are free. You will be required to wear clumsy feeling slippers over your shoes to protect the old floorboards. There are set times when tours take place so maybe check the website before going. The library itself is a wonderful display of craftsmanship and eloquence. There are also many side attractions apart from the main room. The building also plays host to some travelling exhibitions and is also located above the more modern city library. There are small gifts available and plenty informative displays. I wouldn’t recommend small kids as they may get bored and make a lot of noise.
Andrew H — Google review
You have to buy tickets weeks in advance online if you plan to visit. We bought ours about a month in advance since the number of visitors per day is very limited. The visit itself was very disappointing. For the price of 8 euro per person you can only enter the Rococo library which turned out to be very very small. Everything is fenced and you can not go anywhere except walk a few steps further on the main aisle. Upper floor and all other side aisles are not accessible! There is no information regarding the library to read on spot! If you want to learn something, you have to have the Weimar tourist app pre installed on your phone and have headphones. The most ridiculous thing of all was the huge slippers we were given prior to entering. They are all one size (probably size 47-48) and women and kids with smaller feet have a big chance of tripping and falling down. This is absolutely ridiculous for the price of 8 euro! I do not recommend a visit! If you have 8 euro to spare, I recommend a visit to the Neues Weimar Museum instead which is much more interesting.
Maya N — Google review
High entry price for such a small amount of time to be spent there. Also everything is only in German. You don’t see anything more than the main pictures. You can’t go upstairs either. I wouldn’t recommend unless you are a big bibliophile Tickets are timed. I got lucky and got in on the next round since I was solo
Ninette — Google review
The library is worth visiting due to its historical significance and excellent maintenance. However, the front desk receptionist was quite cold and somewhat rude, which was disappointing. It would be great if they could be friendlier, considering it's a public place with many international visitors.While I understand language limitations, it's challenging when the staff doesn't speak English and is reluctant to communicate. In a tourist spot, especially a UNESCO heritage site, having bilingual staff would be beneficial. A warm and welcoming demeanor would also make a big difference.
Kohulan R — Google review
If you like books, art, history and knowledge this place will enchant you. Yes it is small, yes you can’t visit many rooms, yes the libraries in Dublin and Coimbra are more beautiful, yes €8 can seem a lot, still, it is a place of historical importance and if you allow that fact to sink in (Goethe and Schiller both stood there, where you will stand) you’ll be as touched as I was.
Patrice K — Google review
If you are a student in Jena or Weimar don’t miss out on this gem. Use your Thoska card to register and take out books. Not only is it a gorgeous study space, but they have a huge selection of English books too. I do a lot of research on line, however this library has books available that were not available the Thulb in Jena.
Cayly “ — Google review
The room is really beautiful, it's worth seing once in my opinion. Because of the system to buy a ticket for a 30 minutes slot, I thought the amount of people visiting at once would be limited. It was actually very packed so couldn't move around as freely as I would have wished (on a sunday around 11-12h) The employees were all friendly. Maybe a visit is more pleasant during the week days.

Park
Nature & Parks
Historical landmark
Park an der Ilm, a UNESCO-listed green space in Weimar, was established in 1778 and covers 48 hectares along the river Ilm. It is historically significant and showcases exquisite landscape design from the 18th century. The park features trails, monuments, classical temples, and sculptures designed by Duke Carl August with input from Goethe. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Haus am Horn, a prototype for German single-family homes located on a hill above the park.
Peaceful with no noisy playground, even cyclists are barred from most of it, so a secure place to walk and jog. Quite a few dog-walkers, but didn't see any receptacles for 'poo', so probably pick it up and take it with you..!

This park is very big and beautiful! Perfect place for a picnic or a walk, spending time with friends or on your own with a book. It’s also very pleasant to ride a bike here. The stone bridge and the view on the castle are my personal favorites in this park.

The park is wide and wonderful. There is a lot of nature, of wild animals and it is well-kept. There was a nice local food stand by the bridge and, most importantly, you could lose yourself in the green around. Only negative thing was a lack of WC facilities.

Leuchtenburg

Museum
Historical landmark
Medieval hilltop fortress featuring a porcelain museum & sweeping views of the countryside.
Leuchtenburg Castle is absolutely stunning! We attended a wedding here, and it was truly a magical experience. The medieval atmosphere is breathtaking, and exploring the castle feels like stepping back in time. One of the highlights was the unique plate-throwing area – such a fun tradition for good luck! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. And to top it all off, we partied until 11 right in the church – how cool is that?! Highly recommend this place for a memorable event or just to soak up the history and beauty
J.R A — Google review
Thank you for this wonderful experience! Many castles we have seen, but in this case, this is one of the few examples, a successful collaboration. Art (porcelain museum) and history (castle and its reconstruction). Compact but at the same time filled with interesting details at every point). Special mention should be made of the weather, which allowed us to walk around the neighborhood, take wonderful photos, relax and warm up! Views and surroundings!
Ivan G — Google review
In the village there are no parking places, but at the entry there is a paid one and then a free one. You have to walk up a bit. The view is nice. The exhibitions inside are wonderful , especially the porcelain one and the one in the tower.
SVC — Google review
15euro tickets per person. But you really get a good deal in my opinion. You get to visit inside the castle, see the porcelaine museum, throw your own plates with wishes on it, visit the tower, if you are lucky hear the organ player. There was a lot to do for the little ones as well as for adults. There are small fppd stands for cakes, waffles and bratwurst. You really have a nice view from here as well.
Kharuna R — Google review
Great castle with an interesting history. The porcelain exhibit is highly recommend. They guide you through the whole history of porcelain in an interesting and entertaining way. Was really fun to toss the dishes as well. You should definitively take your time to see the tour. More over the castle looks very nice and kept in good condition.

It's a beautiful castle, with great views of the surrounding area. Enough information everywhere to make walking through the castle interesting. I recommend going there by car. The foot paths going to the castle are neglected. Not to be recommended for young children and elderly people. It's a steep hike.
Haitse W — Google review
Wonderful place, big and impressive. Many informations about the castle everywhere, especially the old cruel "tools" of the medieval time (torture) were a highlight. In the modern building is an interesting exhibition, it's worth a walk.

Beautiful castle. Small in size. Parking is down the steep slope. Not easy for the elderly. Staff was super pleasant!!. Watch your GPS carefully. Our brand new Toyota, had us going up walk paths and other wrong streets when we came. Great place for the children to stretch and run!!

German-German Museum Mödlareuth

History museum

Local history museum
Specialty Museums
A must visit location for any student of history who is interested in the "Cold War" as experienced in Germany. While the Berlin wall gets a lot more attention the fascinating case of Mödlareuth is one that should get a lot more attention. Here was another town literally split in two once German was divided into East and West. On site museum, gift shop, and sample of vehicles really added to the experience. Highly recommend it.

This place is a hidden gem that whispers tales of a bygone era. This is no ordinary museum; it's a time capsule, a portal to the past, where the echoes of the Cold War still resonate through the air. As a young soldier stationed in Germany during those turbulent times, the museum and exhibits hold special significance to me. I witnessed firsthand the stark contrast between the two sides of the border, the palpable tension that hung in the air like a thick fog. I watched the hope in the eyes of those who yearned for freedom and the relief in their faces when the Berlin Wall finally came crashing down. I was there, a moment in history as I took part in chipping it away. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to learn about the Cold War and the untold sacrifices of the people involved in the reunification of Germany.

A historic site, rightly called "Little Berlin." Admission is €4 for adults. The small cinema depicts the moving history of the site, which clearly illustrates the impact of the division of Europe on life in a provincial village. The large vehicle hall, with military and police vehicles from the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR, is very interesting. I didn't see any food or kiosks.
Thomas — Google review
We are an English family, just to be clear. This museum is an absolute eye opener. One of the best displays of the East-West Germany divide outside of Berlin. This community was divided right through the middle by the wall. The village was known as "Little Berlin". The staff were amazing and did everything they could to help us as we don't speak good German! The display of the checkpoint and wall are extremely interesting. There are a lot of monuments as well. There is also a vehicle museum. It is in a separate building up the hill, though the ticket is required for entry to all museum sections. Don't forget to check if out! There are toilets and a gift shop. Everything is disability accessible, but this is not really a great museum for a rainy day! If you like your recent history, this museum is 100% worth visiting!

The museum grounds are vast and in outstanding shape. Everything is well maintained. The museum itself offers a movie granting a comprehensive historical / historiographical overview about the area and its meaning that is expanded on in the upper exhibitionin room. The new museum wasn't finished when I visited, so that's part of the next visit. My favorite part was the chance to climb a watchtower: the view makes clear that those towers were not used to control what the enemy was doing but to control the own population. This of course is clear to everyone but to experience it was an insightful experience.

Small museum at the former border between the Bundesrepublik and DDR. Interesting to see the effects of the Cold War at such a local scale. When visiting the museum, don't skip the film which contains a lot video material from history. Very good to see it preserved this way!

I was an American soldier stationed with 2/2 Armored Cavalry Regiment and patrolled this sector of the border during the mid 80's. I won't bore everyone with tales of what we did to the East Germans (and what they did to us) - but by the time I visited the museum with my wife and niece in 2018, thankfully, tensions had cooled, and I had a wonderful discussion with the man giving the video presentation - who had been an East German Border Guard himself during the time I had been there! Funny.....I don't remember the Gaks being that big back in the day!
Ron L — Google review
Terrific educational and historical gem of a divided town and smaller museum whose preservations are still on-going that houses different types of exhibitions (vehicles, historical accounts/photos, outside wall and watchtower, plus surrounding other facets, library). English is limited (outside placards excellent plus video). Well worth the drive out here (in this town cell signal may be lost so pay attention for when Google Maps won't load!). Ample parking and cheap €3 entrance price.

Nebra Ark - Experiencing the Sky Disc

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Striking, contemporary visitor center with bronze-age astronomy exhibits, plus digital planetarium.
Great level of comprehensive detail and cool souvenirs. One gripe is that there’s literally no one who speaks English, though there is an audio guide that covers the highlights. Staff are friendly and helpful.
A — Google review
Arche Nebra exhibition about the discovery of the 'Himmelsscheibe' or Sky Disc. Has recently been updated and upgraded. Family ticket €23 - 2 adults and 2 children (7 / 8). Spent about 2 hours here including VR experience and planetarium. Audio guides available for the main exhibition, but since a recent upgrade to the planetarium, not available in other languages, so would wait until they have sorted this out if your first language is not German. Check on the website or contact in advance to find out. Some interactive elements for children. Would be good to have a craft area to make the sky disc. Would be good to have a treasure hunt for younger children. Happy to support this if required. There was a colouring book on a table downstairs, but it was not yet available for purchase. The children's book was a bit difficult language-wise and the simple language book more for adults. This is a great place to visit and when the language guides are fully up and running for the planetarium part, then can recommend for all visitors from around the world. It is a bit out of the way, but easily located with a free car park at the foot of the hill. Disabled people and those with low mobility can be driven to the entrance. Only steps are down into the planetarium seating area, but possibly enough space for a wheelchair to remain at the back. Lift to toilets and all floors. Cafe closed Mondays and Fridays.

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

We came on Saturday, didn't have to wait in line to enter. Place wasn't crowded at all, but parking space is a little bit small. There are few pools with different temperature of water and 2 jacuzzis inside. One pool is a quiet area with a huge dome roof and a huge mandala on the top, really great area to relax. Outside area also has a jacuzzi and a big pool. There are a few nudist saunas.

We caught a happy hour with 3 hours for 42 euros. There are several indoor pools with thermal water, 2 outside ones , jacuzzi baths and sauna area. The facilities are fine. The bathroom area was very dirty towards end of closing hours. We rented towels for 3 euros, the smell was not good, price a bit high However, the place is very German, if I may say so. Little English at reception, no English on written signs. Eating area just near main pool , people eating and drinking a lot, unpleasant smell. There is only sauna area with nude access or at least it is not clear if you can go also with your swimming wear, which might be more appropriate for your culture.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Toskana Therme Bad Sulza, and I must say, it was an experience beyond my expectations! From the moment I stepped foot into the park, I was greeted by a sense of tranquility and excitement that set the tone for an incredible day ahead. The variety of pools and attractions available at the aqua park is truly impressive. Whether you're looking for a relaxing soak in the mineral-rich thermal pools to ease your muscles, or an adrenaline-pumping adventure down the twisting water slides, there's something for everyone. The way the park seamlessly combines both relaxation and excitement is truly commendable. The well-maintained facilities and cleanliness of the park stood out immediately. The staff's dedication to keeping the premises immaculate did not go unnoticed. The changing rooms, showers, and restroom areas were all in impeccable condition, making my visit comfortable and enjoyable. One of the highlights of my visit was the variety of thermal pools available. Each pool is set at a different temperature, catering to various preferences. It was such a pleasure to alternate between the warm pools and the cooler ones, experiencing the benefits of the natural thermal waters. The peaceful ambiance around the pools, with lush greenery and comfortable loungers, added to the overall sense of relaxation. The food options within the park were surprisingly diverse and delicious. I had a satisfying meal from one of the on-site eateries

This is a beautiful and secluded place where you can just relax or have fun with friends. There are indoors and outdoors swimming pools as well as sauna. The view from the outdoors swimming pool is spectacular. Plus, they are continually playing music under the water. The price was not crazy and it was actually a very good deal for the quality of the place.
Daniela L — Google review
It’s clean and relaxing. The water temperature outside is not as warm as I expected but the air temperature inside is warm enough and satisfying. You can hear the music underwater in one of the pools. It has parking lot with reasonable price. The buffet offers some delicious and healthy meals and cold beer.

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

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

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

The State Museum of Prehistory Halle (Saale) is a renowned archaeological museum in Central Europe, showcasing important prehistoric and medieval artifacts. It features a remarkable permanent exhibition that spans from the Stone Age to the early Iron Age, offering a chronological journey through Saxony-Anhalt's archaeological discoveries. The museum's centerpiece is the famous Nebra Sky Disk, a UNESCO Memory of the World document that provides insights into ancient astronomical knowledge.
For €7 entrance and €3 for audio guide this was fantastic value for money. There is the adults audio and the children's audio so all educated about our prehistory. Great cafe on ground floor. You can take pictures but no flash.

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

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

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

St. Thomas Church

Evangelical church
Sights & Landmarks
St. Thomas Church is a Gothic church in Leipzig, Germany, where Johann Sebastian Bach served as cantor for 27 years and conducted the famous St. Thomas Choir. The church has a rich musical history, with notable figures such as Richard Wagner, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, and Clara Schumann leaving their mark on its legacy. Construction of the church began in 1212 and it has undergone several renovations over the years.
As the church bells rang slowly, I looked up at the silhouette of St. Thomas Church and truly felt that I was in the city of music, Leipzig. Listening to Bach’s music in a place so deeply connected to his life felt like stepping into a time machine. I visited last year and again this year, and each time, the experience brought new meaning and a deep sense of resonance. If you also visit the Bach Museum right next door, it will enrich your understanding of both the music and the man behind it. Located right in the city center, the church is easy to reach, and there are plenty of inviting spots nearby to explore and relax.

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

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

Leipzig Zoo is one of the best zoos I‘ve ever visited. Large enclosures. Many events throughout the day. Amazing infrastructure (you can find maps, sign posts, and directions for a tour that leads you through the entire zoo everywhere). They also don’t solely focus on the animals as mere entertainment but seek to inform kids in playful ways about preservation/biology/even physics in the aquarium. Leipzig Zoo also provides a variety of restaurants and snack bars that are evenly distributed across the entire Zoo. I wholly recommend visiting, whether alone or with friends and family. It’s an amazing and informative experience!

This zoo park was fantastic. I would recommend this to everyone. There is so much to see and you should have water with you because food and water prices there is too expensive. WC is free which is very good. And I suggest you guys to go early there, zoo opens at 9 am and closes at 7pm. As I mentioned earlier there is lot to see so you probably will need some rest. And one good thing about this zoo park is that you see animals without any borders and it is kind of crazy but it is safe. So enjoy with your trip everyone.

St. Nicholas Church is an important architectural monument with interiors influenced by French classicism and distinctive palm-shaped columns. The church played a significant role in the events of 1989 in Leipzig, which led to the fall of communism in Central and Eastern Europe. Following the reunification of Germany, Leipzig experienced economic challenges but has since undergone significant revitalization, including the restoration of historical buildings and the development of new industries and modern infrastructure.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So far the nicest Bahnhof I've seen in Germany, always busy with people passing through and people just coming to shop. As it houses so many great stores to shop in over 3 levels with so many things to see and amazing food options. You can't come to leipzig without seeing it as it is the main train station. Even made more lovely around Christmas or as they say Weinachten, as lots more food stalls open up.

+54 other lists 
Memorial
Sights & Landmarks
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations is a 91-meter-high memorial in Leipzig, commemorating the 1813 battle where Napoleon was defeated. It features a viewing platform and a history museum. Leipzig offers diverse attractions such as the Leipzig Book Fair, Bach Festival, cultural events, green spaces like the Riverside Forest and botanical gardens, and landmarks including the Bach Museum and St. Nicholas Church.
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations (Völkerschlachtdenkmal) is an absolute must-see in Leipzig. Towering at 91 meters, it commemorates the historic 1813 Battle of Leipzig, one of the largest conflicts in European history, where Napoleon’s army was decisively defeated. This striking monument is not only a symbol of resistance and unity but also a masterpiece of early 20th-century architecture. Surrounded by a tranquil reflecting pool and parkland, the monument offers an awe-inspiring exterior and an equally impressive interior. Visitors can ascend to the top for panoramic views of Leipzig and explore the solemn halls, giant warrior statues, and crypt-like chambers that leave a lasting emotional impact. Its grand scale, peaceful atmosphere, and deep historical significance make it one of the most important landmarks in the city. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or simply a curious traveler, this site offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Clean, well-maintained, and accessible, the Völkerschlachtdenkmal is more than just a monument—it’s a place of memory, reflection, and beauty. If you're visiting Leipzig, this iconic site belongs at the top of your list.
Alazani V — Google review
At the entrance, a welcoming entrance with an airy crypt with heating. On the first floor there was a film that explains the entire history from the origins in the early 1800s to the present day. Viewing is recommended. Then you climb up to the first internal cornice, which is very overhanging. You then climb to the upper floors, and then you reach the first external cornice located under the feet of the statues that can be seen from outside. You can take the elevator up to that level. From there, you climb to the highest part of the building with a very narrow but well-made stone staircase. A visit is recommended to better understand the history of the city. Full adult ticket price €12

Paul T — Google review
This intense and impressive monument is a MUST SEE if you are in Leipzig. The scale is stunning and is reminiscent of the Mines of Moria in Lord of the Rings. There are multiple lifts but if you want to get to the top viewing area, you have to use the stairs and it is a little walk. No bad, but most people emerged a little winded and sweaty. The sweeping views of Leipzig are great and, if you go on a sunny day, you can see many miles/kilometers in every direction. Highly recommended.
Chad T — Google review
A really impressive monument. It really makes you feel the enormity of the event being memorialized much like the World War I monument in Kansas City. There was a feeling of heaviness about the monument and it made me feel retrospective. A very nice visit. A stroll through the cemetery nextdoor is also warranted.

the monument to the battle of the nations in leipzig is a massive, seriously impressive monument commemorating napoleon's defeat in the 1813 battle. it's one of europe's largest, and you can climb to the top for panoramic views of leipzig. inside, the huge stone figures are really powerful. it's a bit outside the city center but easily reached by tram and definitely worth a visit for its history and scale

Masters' Houses

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Masters' Houses in Dessau, Germany, are a collection of homes designed by Walter Gropius for the Bauhaus school's faculty. The largest house was occupied by Gropius and his wife Ise, while the others were semi-detached properties with identical modular floor plans. Recently rebuilt by Bruno Fioretti Marques, the master house features contemporary elements such as light concrete and milky glass.
Have you ever ask you one of these questions: How architecture influences our live experiences? Who are these greatest modern minds in arts? Why could it happen? You will find a lot of answers here in Dessau Meisterhäuser. Some promises, you will even find answers on questions you haven’t asked before to come to this place.
Michael S — Google review
The houses look great from the outside, but are a disappointment inside. A little film made when one of the houses was first built, showing all the modern devices in the home showed what the houses could look like inside. Is money the prob lem, or do the foundation believe. It's better to show empty rooms?

Bauhaus Dessau

Mentioned on

Sights & Landmarks
Foundation
Bauhaus Dessau, designed by Walter Gropius in 1926, is a highly influential building that showcases the hallmarks of Bauhaus design. The glass facade and absence of visible supporting elements on the corners are iconic features. The Cafe-Bistro continues the tradition of being a meeting place for program participants, employees, and friends. This architectural masterpiece still looks fresh and contemporary despite being almost a century old.
I love this place. This place answered me plenty of questions about the why, the where, the what, the who and the when. It is great to learn about the motivations, learn about the who were these people, to learn about the where and when have the gone after Dessau. I have spent two days and three guided tours and I will for sure come again.
Michael S — Google review
A Masterpiece of Vision: A Review of the Bauhaus Dessau My recent visit to the Bauhaus building in Dessau, Germany, was more than just a tour; it was a journey into a living monument of architectural and educational history. The experience profoundly illustrated the singular vision of one man, Walter Gropius, who, against incredible odds, brought the modern art and design movement to life. It is nothing short of astonishing to consider how he single-handedly managed to fund, design, and create the entire institutional framework, all while navigating the tumultuous political landscape between the two world wars. The moment you step into the building, you are immediately struck by its revolutionary design. The famous staircase, the sun-drenched workshops, and the seamless integration of various functions speak to Gropius's genius. I was particularly moved by visiting his personal office, located in the bridge connecting the two main buildings. This space, a hub of creativity and leadership, felt like the very heart of the movement. Seeing the workshops where masters and students collaborated, and the student hostel where they lived and breathed art, brought the curriculum to life. The building is a manifesto in itself, a physical embodiment of Gropius’s belief in the unity of art and technology. The self-sufficiency of the institution is a testament to Gropius's strategic mind. He devised a curriculum that drew students from around the world, creating a vibrant, international community. He hand-picked a legendary faculty, including Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, and created a marketing machine to attract global talent. This was all done while facing immense political pressure and shifting ideologies, which ultimately led to the school's closure. Despite these challenges, Gropius’s unwavering commitment ensured that the Bauhaus's influence would endure. The tour is incredibly well-curated, and I highly recommend taking it to truly appreciate the scale of this achievement. The theater, the student cafeteria, and even the gift shop—which is filled with beautiful designs—all contribute to an experience that is both educational and deeply inspiring. For anyone with an interest in art, architecture, or history, the Bauhaus Dessau is a must-see. It's a powerful reminder that with clear vision and relentless determination, one person can shape the course of history.

Amazing! This place was a world leader and is symbollic and of the modern movement in architecture and design in Europe in the 1900s. Celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. It has been restored, true to the original design after being closed by the racist regime of the 1930s. Well worth the visit for architects and designers.
Paul E — Google review
Must-see for those interested in modernism and architecture as a whole. You can roam a part of the building freely. However, all classrooms and the entire student flats block are sadly inaccessible for visitors (except if you book a night in a flat!). The shop has a great selection of souvenirs. The workers were warm and friendly.

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

All Saints' Church, or Schlosskirche, is a stunning Gothic structure nestled in the heart of Wittenberg, Germany. This iconic church holds immense historical significance as the place where Martin Luther famously affixed his Ninety-five Theses to its door on October 31, 1517—an act that ignited the Protestant Reformation. As part of the UNESCO World Heritage sites known as the Luther Memorials in Eisleben and Wittenberg, it attracts visitors from around the globe.

Visiting this place is definitely a must! Located at the end of the main street of the historical area of Wittenberg, this place is of extreme value not only because at one of his doors Martin Luther nailed his 95 thesis, but also because his grave is inside the temple, at the back, under the organ pipes. The entrance is free. Take your time to admire every single detail of this treasure building in terms of architecture. Highly recommend. Ask for a guided tour, it will broaden your experience! Also, you can go up in the tower for 3 €, where you will have great views of the city.

This church is famous as the place where Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses in 1517, sparking the Protestant Reformation. Luther's translation of the Bible into German in Wittenberg strengthened standard German and influenced German literacy and culture. This church became a symbol of resistance against the authority of the Roman Catholic Church and received support from German princes, strengthening Lutheranism as a political force.

Absolutely fascinating. Excellent museum to be found attached to the church, with some of the best audio visual demonstrations I have seen, by that I mean they are easy to use and in several different languages and capable of being tailored to suit the user (eg magnified if you don't have your glasses :-) ). The Tower is well worth the climb with magnificent views over the city and surrounding countryside. Martin Luther's grave is in this church and this is the church he nailed his famous theses to.

Lutherhaus in Wittenberg is the former Augustinian monastery where Martin Luther resided as a teacher-monk and later after its dissolution. The museum chronologically outlines major milestones in Luther's career, offering an informative look at his life and religious legacy. It serves as a living history of Christian Reformation and is considered one of the most important museums to visit in Wittenberg. The well-designed explanations by guides and signboards make it a great historical place to explore.
The main Lutherhaus is closed for renovation until 2025. But the courtyard is still open. The Literally Luther exhibition in Luther Museen, adjacent to the Lutherhaus is open. It is an excellent exhibit on Luther's life and his reformation legacy. It also has a great activity section for children on the third floor.

Located at the beginning of the main street of the historical area, Lutherhaus will transport you in time to experience what people at that time use in their daily lives. Also, this museum has a largr collection of Luther's writings and pictures. The house also tries to portray and explain the living conditions of that period. The house, plus Luther's sayings as well as the whole collection of objects will give you a better understanding of the life of one of the important figures of the reformation. Highly recommend.

Have been there many times. Most recently, today! 😊 As everyone says, this is a bad choice if you’re creeped out by nudity. Even on textile days, you’re gonna have to face that. Otherwise, I have to say the place changes character quite a lot depending on when you go. On this Monday evening, it was very chill. The warm pool with the swim-up bar is to die for. Worth the trek just for that! It’s also a solid 1/2 train ride from Berlin, then a 15 minute walk. Very doable, but just so you know!

I am a big fan of FKK culture and often swim naked at Lakes. I love the architecture, the water temperatures, the heavenly salt water pool outside at this place. However a recent visit was very unpleasant. Old and extremely cantankerous people patrol the pool and verbally assault anyone wearing a swim suit. My partner and son were uncomfortable being naked in the swimming pool and were therefore repeatedly harassed. The staff are mostly absent and horrible angry elderly grouches are allowed to assert ownership of this otherwise lovely place

I love this place and visit it every time I am back Home in Berlin for a visit. My Buddies and I just enjoy it very much. In the Summer you can relax outside and work on your Tan. The Food is very good and there are a lot of options. The Facilities are very clean and well Maintained. I get a Massage every time and it rounds out the experience for me. It's certainly a great way relax and forget what is going on. Especially in the current situation. I am glad that they where able to weather the Storm and survive. I love all the different Saunas and Steam Rooms. There is something to do for everybody. I love relaxing in the Pool by the Bar and enjoy a nice Beer with my friends. It's such a cool feature. I am not sure why people complain about this place being FKK/ You should perhaps do some research before going. There are days where you can go and be dressed. I guess being German it's not a big deal for me at. I am going to be back in Berlin in August for a few month and will for sure visit it several times while there. Keep up the great work and I look forward to my next visit. Danke Schoen. :)

We booked tickets for an 11:00 opening and were delighted with how much street art is crammed in, and the juxtaposition of the abandoned radar domes, green forest and counter-culture art. We’re from Bristol, the home of Banksy, and have enjoyed tours in areas renown for street art from Melbourne to New York, but this will be one of the most memorable. €12 isn’t unreasonable to contribute to the upkeep, and in the first slot it wasn’t too busy. There are some delightful large pieces as well as areas of paste up and small art. Well worth the visit!
Paul — Google review
The place itself is fascinating, a unique mix of urban decay, graffiti, and panoramic views over Berlin. But our visit at the end of July was a deep disappointment due to poor communication and unprofessional handling of a problem. We came specifically for the Declassified exhibition, which was clearly advertised on the official website and included in the admission fee. After paying full admission, we discovered inside that the exhibition was closed, with no prior notice online or at the entrance. We went back to the cashier, who didn’t even know it was closed. She had to make a phone call, after which she simply said: “It’s closed today,” offering no explanation, apology, or compensation. I contacted the organization the same day and was kindly offered a refund. I replied immediately with my bank details and a bank-confirmed proof of payment, and explained, openly and reasonably, that I no longer had the paper receipt. Then came three weeks of silence. When I followed up, I was told that a refund was not possible without the receipt, even though the payment confirmation I had sent was official, clear, and more precise than any paper ticket. Together with the confusion and lack of accountability on site, it only adds to the impression of poor organization and missing professionalism.

One of the most interesting places I visited on my trip to Berlin. Teufelsberg is an old field station that is now a public street art gallery. You can go up to the highest building and see very good views of Berlin. Every corner of this place has it's own story. It's a long hike trough the forest to get to Teufelsberg, but totally worth it. The entrance is about 12 €.

If you’re looking for a short hike through the forest, Teufelsberg is a great choice. The 4–5 km walk rewards you with beautiful views from the top. Just watch out for mosquitoes—they can be a bit of a nuisance.

since 2022- becoming more formal amd organized, also costs 12€ now, but still have a terrific vibe, lots of talented artwork, and the same history- with much more detail explained in new corridors and signage. the drink offerings and bathrooms are much improved over past years and it is still a destination I suggest to everyone who visits Berlin!

After much debate about its preservation, the stadium underwent renovations in 2004 and now hosts major sporting events and concerts.
Magnificent edifice of a stadium retaining some of the 1930s original design. Sprawling over a large area incorporating hockey, football and swimming as well as the athletics facilities inside the stadium, the site needs a while to take in, but it is a fantastic place to visit. You are allowed to roam around the complex and there is a restaurant and toilets on site.

I signed up for the guided tour of the stadium. The staff were very welcoming and the guide was talking in both English and German. The tour was a very informative one and the best one I have had for a stadium so far. Not only were we told interesting facts about the stadium, but we were also told about the history behind it. The stadium is far away from the city centre, although a long journey, you can reach without any issues by public trains. Highly recommended!

We had a great visit here, it wasn't crowded at all, so we could take our time exploring. The stadium is massive, clean, and well-kept. We barely saw any staff that day, probably because nothing was happening. The weather was awesome too, with sunshine in the stadium. We're short on time, so we couldn't see everything.

What an incredible place to watch an NFL game. It's not the best stadium for tech or anything with no TVs around minus the three jumbotrons in the stadium. But... It doesn't matter. It's a stunning piece of history and it's wild to think Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals in the same stadium. Really amazing stadium!

Good place to visit. Not to exciting but impressive. Was quiet. I only walked around the main stadium. $11 Did not join their tour, extra $ Half hour train ride from Central Station, no transfers.

I went with the guided tour. The guide was a very sympathetic British man. He was very good, knew everything about the club and the stadium. The stadium itself is extraordinary, very very big and just amazing. I would recommend every football fan to visit this place!

Attended the Colts vs Falcons in Berlin. Great game, it went into overtime. Great stadium with great view and food. I love the NFL representation of both countries.

Platform 17 Memorial

Memorial
Sights & Landmarks
Platform 17 Memorial, located at Grunewald Station in Berlin, is a poignant tribute to the more than 50,000 Jews who were deported from this site to concentration camps during the Holocaust. The memorial consists of iron plates laid out on the platform, each bearing the date, number of deportees, and final destination of the trains. This simple yet powerful memorial serves as a reminder of this dark chapter in history.
Very moving small memorial site - alongside the usual public transport train tracks, one train track “track 17” is an inconspicuous memorial site. You wouldn’t know it’s there without having heard of it or shown by someone else! Worth a visit, especially in the area.

Platform 17 is a deeply moving and important memorial dedicated to the Jewish people. It stands as a chilling and powerful testimony to the horrors that took place here over 80 years ago. Visiting this site is not just recommended — it is essential for anyone who wants to understand and reflect on this dark chapter in history. The experience is emotional, educational, and unforgettable.

You can access the platform by walking past the entrance to the train station, through the leafy spot all the way to the back. You'll pass the monument on your left by Karol Broniatowski which intuitively connects you with the Jews deported from there. The platform itself is quite long but surprisingly narrow, especially once you read the numbers engraved onto the metal slabs, representing amounts of people that were sent to their deaths. It was a very sobering experience, walking down the exact same platform, reading those numbers and destinations, connecting with the terror and fear they must have felt. We'd better learn from the past and never allow such atrocity to happen ever again.

A somber memorial dedicated to the thousands of Jews sent from Berlin to concentration camps across Europe during WWII. Amazing this station sits in a very(very) upper class section of Berlin. Short S-Bahn trip from Berlin Hbf.

This is by far one of the top 5 most impactful memorials I have ever been too. This and Topography of Terror need to be seen. I appreciate the local government taking the time to preserve this location and allowing visitors to experience it. Please, if you are planning to tour and see holocaust locations, you need to come here as part of your tour.

I came to visit this historic place, to feel how the people who was deported during ww2 was feeling, horrible sad last moments of their life's in Berlin . Around 50-000 jews were deported from this station.
