It’s a nice hotel for a one-day stay, suitable for couples or families. From time to time, there are theater shows on the hotel’s stage. However, the venue is small, so it’s not ideal for grand events. The restaurant in the cellar is very nice, offering good value for money with vegetarian options available. Breakfast is served in the orangery, which is the location shown in the pictures. The breakfast spread includes a wide variety of eggs, cheese, meat, fish, and vegetarian options. The swimming pool and towels are provided free of charge. The only issue I found unpleasant was that the hotel’s main picture featured the orangery rather than the actual hotel building. This felt misleading to me. Also recommend to visit the castle

This hotel deserves two stars only because of their staff (that is really amazing, all of them), and their excellent food. Both, dinner and breakfast we had there were excellent. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the hotel establishment and its facilities. While I understand that this hotel was built sometime at the end of the 70's, and nobody is willing to invest into its modernization, there are simple hacks how to make the life of its guests better. Firstly, the garages. Whilst conveniently located underneath the hotel, there is no barrier free access available, meaning that if you want to unload your suitcase in the car, and take it directly to the hotel (why wouldn't you, the hotel has a direct elevator from the reception to the garage), you are about to come to the nasty surprise - the elevators are malfunctional. What is worse, nobody thought about putting that notice to the garage, which would spare you carrying your bags up the stairs to the elevator. Secondly, the rooms. Where to begin? Firstly, the design is from some time in 1970, as I said, and that brings a few weird things with it. Like - you have your sink directly in the room - not in the bathroom, IN THE ROOM. There is no AC - at least, we haven't found any. Also - absolutely no sockets next to your bed where you could charge your phone. We had to take out the drawers, unplug the bedside lamp, and plug in the phones. This is honestly ridiculous concept in 2025 when we all are depending on our cellphones, and I frankly don't see a reason why the hotel can't provide some extension cables for every bedside table. That's why 2 stars only. This hotel is in the beautiful location, and as said, has an amazing staff, and delish food, but the hotel itself is not much to look at.

Very Very friendly and profesional staff. All very good. Room very clean and not something i can complain about. A big thank you to front offfice for they were extremely helpful and proffesional in the needs of myself. I would also like to make a point of mentioning one collegue in particulaur Mr Bergen from Front Office who did everything he could do make us feel welcomed to the hotel. He was polite, helpful and caring to the needs of others. It wasn`t just me but in fact to the other guests. This type of profesional and effort is unfortunetly not always found in the hotels today. So it was great to see a hotel keeping all if it`s standards. You should definetly book here! I will be in future all the time along with my collegues. Many thanks!!!

This is a standard comfortable hotel, but what lifts it to an altogether higher level is breakfast. You walk along a corridor and emerge into the most amazing baroque hall, a garden room, with white pilasters and painted ceiling. And the food matches the venue - it is sumptuous and everything is extremely tempting.

Great location, clean rooms…. Very friendly service…. Kept our items that we forgotten and had several option to get them back

Maritim Schloss Hotel Fulda feels like a cozy castle retreat: set amid lush gardens, it combines rustic timber beams and stone turrets with spacious, light‑filled rooms. Enjoy regal‑style dining in a vaulted‑ceiling restaurant or al fresco on the terrace, then unwind with attentive service that makes every stay feel effortlessly special!

I liked this Maritim hotel. Very professional all the team and friendly. The structure is so beautiful!!

They don't look ruined to me. Glad I didn't waste my time when they were open. I took some nice photos from the outside. If they are hosting the London Symphony Orchestra I would consider it.

Beautiful location for a medieval fair as haopened this weekend.

Beautiful and historical place!

Just get a ticket to any show it is a unique experience

Outstanding location, must visit.

A very old and beautiful place... Splendid, I lived very beautiful moments while watching this building... The city was clean and beautiful and everything was wonderful.⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘

Ancient ruins with a small park. Pretty calm place for walks.

On a short quick pre Christmas visit to Germany from the U.S., the first for my 16 year old during winter, I decided to introduce her to German spa culture. Rhein Main or Taunus Therme would have been a lot closer to us, the Toskana Therme in Bad Orb popped up and came recommended by acquaintances, but all three had quite a few negative reviews. I discovered Spessart Therme when one of the reviewers mentioned it as the better alternative that is only 6 km further than Bad Orb. I was sold when I read that they have a 10% salt pool, you can float in and that Wednesday is ladies day at the sauna (no clothing allowed). I was pleasantly surprised that we could still get a child ticket for my 16 year old or a 1/2 family ticket for the two of us (17 EUR plus 14 EUR for sauna for all day). That's a better price than any of the other spas. Nice touch: The parking lot on the left is free (5 hour time limit with “Parkscheibe”). Upon arrival we found that the next salt cave session would start soon and still had availability so we decided to check it out. The reception lady was friendly & patiently explained how everything worked but charged us (wrongly) for two adults (2x 11,50 EUR). I saw later in the brochure that youth (11-16 years) is 9,50 EUR, oh well … The 45 minute salt cave session was pleasant, blankets are provided but it felt warm (20-22C) enough. It's a good time to recharge (and nap) with relaxing music. They say 45 minutes in there is equally beneficial as one day at the ocean front. We went on into the pool area next and floated around one of the main pools that is 31C. It's pleasant and has plenty of bubblers and little water jet massagers. It feels warm going in but we needed to move around a little after a while to stay comfortable. We only tested the water of the other pool with the Poseidon temple by hand - it felt noticeably cooler (my guess was about 28C, like regular swimming pool temperature) so we didn't even bother going in there. The website says that it's 33C (?!). Then we found the smaller 10% salt pool. It's very warm (36C) The water is of brownish color and there should be a warning that it might stain white bathing suits. It made the white in my black & white top look rather cream colored. Avoid wearing white! There is a sign asking for silence and not to remain in it for more than 15 minutes. When we first discovered it, people who had just completed a water aerobics session in the therapeutic pool had gone in as a group and they were chatting away. We went back again later and were all by ourselves then - a little piece of heaven to be able to float on our backs watching the changing light colors. Only music could have further enhanced this experience. This pool alone made the 1 hour trip totally worth it. Next we checked out the saunas. There is a steam bath and a 50C & 55C sauna inside and three wooden huts with 85, 90 & 100C saunas outside. We happened to arrive just in time for the infusion in the 90C sauna. We are sauna novices but wanted to give this a try. It was popular and the sauna filled up fast. The sauna master passed out menthol drops before adding ginger lemongrass fragrance & then pouring on water. It got very hot but was still bearable and we made it to the end. There are cold showers and a small dipping tub to cool off. We also tried the 85C sauna but skipped the others. They were passing out salt to use for a full body scrub & peeling in front of the steam bath which was a nice touch. The restroom & shower areas were clean, and had good water pressure. Maybe a few more hooks would be useful. There are chairs and free hair dryers in front of a long wall of mirrors just outside of the changing rooms and lockers. Overall a very pleasant visit, we will be back in the summer!

We took our management team to visit this place to try for stress free idea. The Cyrotherapy and their little Salt Cave were our good choices. This place is clean with friendly staff. However, it'd be great if cyrotherapy and salt cave can be managed to use in a row. We had to wait for almost 2 hours to use the cave although we called to arrange time with the staff before travelling. It already took 6 hours for us to visit and return to our city. Hopefully, someone can really arrange our appointment when we call next time.

Not to big but for a few hours it was great. I loved the salt bad and sauna. Unfortunality the 25 mtr Pool was closed, after a long holliday drive i would have love to swim there. But we could relax and swim a little bit in the smaller therme pool. We came by camper and a street away we could find the camper parking place for the night.

Great system for lockers / entry / changing area fair price kids price until 16 yrs (incl). Typical spa pools, wave pool outside and a sports pool plus a salt grotto which I sadly missed. Friendly lifeguard. Only con was one of the ladies at the cantine who was impatient, rude and wrong about our order, possibly racist or xenophobic as we were obviously foreign or maybe just stressed. Her colleague was friendly though.

Had the luck to try the ice lab here the experience was fantastic.

Fish in cafe was shockingly small and low quality. Never order this item. Staff was incredibly rude when I asked for mustard and demanded I pay extra. Food took long and was below average for the price.

I came today as a tourist and the customer service was awful, I have tried to speak the little German I know hence I am the first time in Germany ever and they didn’t even respond to “Sprechen english” the woman rolled her eyes in disrespect and mocked me for not knowing German, VERY BAD OVERALL EXPERIENCE.

It's a small yet beautiful castle. Sadly couldn't get the tour, because the tickets were sold out and didn't knew I had to reserve in advance. Still it's a beautiful place to visit

Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel is a breathtaking blend of nature, myth, and monumental art. At its heart stands the mighty statue of Hercules, watching over cascading waterfalls and terraced slopes — a UNESCO World Heritage site where history flows with every step.

You have to be ready to walk up and down for at least 3 hours. Good for walking

The castle is very small. It looks bigger in the pictures online. located in the park and within walking distance of the Hercules monument and fountain. for some reason Google maps does not show the route to get to the park. use 1 tram it goes straight from the station to the park. it will take about 3 hours to visit the park

Very nice! If you want to visit inside you must make a reservation before!

A nice little castle in an area with many walking paths through woodlands. Worth a stop if you need to stretch your legs on a long drive 👌 There's a free bathroom and a restaurant right by it if you need food as well.

Visited while on family vacation. Totally amazing place with plenty of beautiful views and tracks to enjoy on the grounds. Definitely well worth a small hike up, now I haven't seen any track or sign for buggies or wheelchair users. As there are a good few stairs to claim up at the final part. But there might be an alternative road, that I'm not aware of.

Very well maintained castle. It is great to visit with kids, specially when there are medieval markets or other events. I suggest in case of castle events, to get there early as it can be difficult to find a parking spot later kn the day. The views from the high tower are awesome!!

It's a good place to visit with a great view from the tower and even from the ground. They have events right now and it feels like it takes you back in the medieval time. There's some shops and stores. The cafe in the Castle also offers various delicious cakes. It's family friendly, alot of activities for kids.

Been here many times. Was just something to do on a rainy day today. Historically interesting, nice views. Beer garden and restaurant.

We came here for the Christmas market and it just may be my favorite Christmas market. It's set in a medieval castle and the market expands from outside to all inside the castle. Very cool! Has a very authentic medieval market feel and lots of homemade gifts, lots of things you wouldn't find at traditional markets. Lots of people dress up in medieval attire which was also cool. Lots of really good food options as well. The market is only open certain weekends, so plan in advance!

The castle is highly recommended for a visit, offering a well-preserved historical site with numerous exhibits and educational opportunities. Weekend activities, including stone carving demonstrations and bird shows, are regularly scheduled. The castle also hosts various festivals and markets, enhancing the visitor experience. We advise consulting the castle's website for upcoming events and encourage a visit.

We visited the medieval market at this place. The best experience was to see all the attendees wearing the medieval costumes , which gives a feel how this place would have been running during the medieval period. Big ground available for car parking. The market was also big and good place for the kids to enjoy and have fun.

We really enjoyed Ronneburg Castle, especially during Walpurgisnacht, where witches, fairies, jesters, and many characters from fairy tales and the Middle Ages come to life. There was a market with a variety of goods, all stylized to fit the medieval theme. At the market, you could also taste cherry beer and sausages - there was something for everyone! You could also enter the castle and walk up the stairs, where you could eat onion soup or simply enjoy tea or coffee with cake. There were also many activities for children, such as a carousel, archery, and face painting. The tower was particularly memorable, as it offered a breathtaking view that was worth waiting in line for about 20 minutes.

I liked this place a lot. It's architecture and symmetry. Be attentive to the details! There are a lot of hidden gems here! An awesome place for those who enjoy taking photos of unusual design.

Very nice spot, calm and easy

nice place for a Sunday walk in the park. the sprudelhof itself very hot the day we came and no shadow at all. a lot of different food truck at the international festival. nice people from all over the world. with their traditional food and some music too.

Beautiful park in a beautiful town. Stay away then there's more for me!

The scenery is really good. A good spot for relaxation

Awesome place to chill with park area.

beautiful place to be specially in summer.

Pretty great zoo, pretty quiet when I visited. Great variety of animals and species I had never seen before. Loved all of the birds! Pity the shops in the zoo were cash only though! But I enjoyed my time at the zoo with my photos. I would recommend but wouldnt need all day to visit!

This zoo offers incredible value with prices significantly better than what I experienced at Dublin Zoo (my only prior comparison). The atmosphere was wonderfully nice and friendly. Unfortunately, my visit was constrained by a flight, which forced me to rush and prevented me from seeing the entire park. Prospective visitors should note that certain popular enclosures, like the giraffes, close 30 minutes prior to the main zoo closing time, which I missed. Overall, it was a very positive experience and a great place to visit on a Sunday in Germany.

The reptile and nocturnal houses were really cool! Coming from the United States there were a lot of animals I don't see very often in American zoos. It's small-ish in size but they really pack in a lot of animals without feeling like they're in small enclosures. We got here late in the day and spent about 2.5 hours here but we could've spent another hour or two.

What a fantastic day at the Frankfurt Zoo! A definite highlight for me was the penguin 🐧🐧🐧🐧 enclosure. They are so charming and fun to watch as they waddle around and swim gracefully in the water. The whole zoo is beautifully laid out with so many amazing animals to see. Highly recommend it for a perfect day out! ❤️❤️❤️

It's a small zoo, do not plan to visit for longer than two hours. It's nice but definitely not a destination. Small kids would enjoy a visit, it's not too full with people and you can easily get around on foot. Make sure to bring cash though if you're planning on having a snack (they do not accept anything else. Also Beware, the coffee at the park is a crime against humanity! The dark habitat and the reptile and rodent pavilion deserve a special mention, the animals all seem well taken care of and the enclosures look adequate for the inhabitants. Absolutely worth a visit.

We had been so looking forward to visiting the zoo in Frankfurt. But it was a complete disappointment. You had to look for a long time for a place to buy either coffee or something to eat. Where were the giraffes? Elephants, lions and tigers. We had been most looking forward to seeing them. There were none of these animals, so definitely not worth the money. So we left very disappointed.

On the good side, there are many kinds of animals, lush and pretty easy to walk around as it’s not too large. The downside was that it’s a bit worn down and old, we didn’t see any lions, tigers and other animals. One penguin looked like it was screaming and dying. Other guests were not too respectful to the animals, banging on the glass wall and pouring water on them. It’s fine for the price though, but 1,5 hours was enough.

recently visited Frankfurt’s main square and it was an unforgettable experience. The beautiful historic buildings create such a charming atmosphere, taking you back in time with their unique architecture. What truly amazed me was the sound of the church bells – so powerful and mesmerizing that it filled the whole square with a magical feeling. I even recorded a video to capture the moment, but being there in person was beyond compare. A must-visit spot in Frankfurt, full of history, beauty, and soul.

The Frankfurt Cathedral is stunning — full of history and beautiful architecture. Climbing the tower is totally worth it for the amazing city views! Inside, it’s peaceful and impressive, with lots of detail to admire. A must-visit if you’re exploring the old town!

Beautiful and awe-inspiring cathedral in Frankfurt. Majestic structure which has peculiar aesthetic finish, especially inside it. What strikes a visitor first is the marvellous collection of statues and paintings. It is not very spectacular when viewed from a distance but when you are inside you are wonder-struck at the great assemblage of rare statues and paintings. The tall columns and arches all add to the grandeur of the cathedral. The picture of St Bartholomew being flayed alive gives a shudder to you.

Frankfurt Cathedral (German: Frankfurter Dom), officially Imperial Dome of Saint Bartholomew (German: Kaiserdom Sankt Bartholomäus), is a Roman Catholic Gothic church located in the heart of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew. Quite unique as an cathedral, as the entire architecture was painted in ♥️ red; and the famous story is that all the surroundings were mostly destroyed during WWII, but not Frankfurt Cathedral.

It's a place to be! First church here was built in 7th century! And particularly this cafedral was fully built in 1550 and saw many kings of the Wholy Roman Empire crowned! If you compare the pictures from 17 century and nowadays, you feel the importance and richness of history of this place! By the way, being here is not about Christian or whatever, this is about enriching yourself culturally! I stress it from my non- Christian background!

Must go! I'm not religious and wasn't planning on going. Would have regret. It's very impressive! There was a old lady greater who didn't apostatize and gave me a full run down of Frankfurt and the church's role.

The Kaiserdom is Frankfurt’s iconic Gothic cathedral, known for its tall red-sandstone tower and its role as the coronation site of Holy Roman Emperors. It’s one of the city’s most important historic landmarks.

Everyone who visits Frankfurt is a must do attraction for the city and other attractions are nearby as well. Overall it’s a good location for Photo.

A nice old place where you can enjoy the architecture, people, coffeeshops. In the heart of the old town of frankfurt, the place is very nice and worth a walk.

It’s amazing here, many walking tours also start at this point. This is like a prime touristy spot. Many souvenir are also around and restaurant with various different culture and countries are available. There is also a shopping mall nearby on walking distance. I suggest anyone visiting Frankfurt to visit here

Beautiful historical site. The Romer still stands in Frankfurt in all its majesty. This medieval building is perhaps the city's most important landmark. In the past it was regarded as the most beautiful square in Germany. Now it is a very popular square and a very good spot for photographs. Romer is the seat of the Frankfurt city administration. There was a sizable crowd there when we went to it. There was also some preparations going on for an upcoming national event.

The Römer is absolutely stunning - a must-see when visiting Frankfurt! The old town square around it is full of charm, with half-timbered houses, cafés, and plenty of photo spots. You really get a feel for the city’s history here. It’s especially nice in the evening when the lights come on, and during the Christmas market it looks magical. Easy to reach by foot or public transport, and there are lots of restaurants nearby. A perfect place to start exploring Frankfurt!

Frankfurt’s Old Town is a charming area of timber-framed houses, cobblestone streets, and the historic Römerberg square — one of the most picturesque spots in the city.

Cool to see old town, pretty clean and felt like going back in time.

this is definitely a museum that you should take the time to see. They have three floors a various artist and art. It’s quite pricey. It’s €18 per person which I find expensive. entrance. People at the cashier were very nice. They were helpful. They also have bathrooms which were very clean a gift shop they also had a small café with a lovely young lady behind it who could speak English I’m always happy when that happens since I don’t speak German and I ordered a piece of the apple pie which she recommended and it was delicious and a cup of cappuccino. It’s a nice way to spend 2 to 3 hours enjoying the beautiful art.

Was skeptical it would be worth the 16 euro entry fee but for what you get, the price is reasonable or even cheap. The sheer scale of this place and the range in its collection is mind boggling. Beautifully curated. Temporary exhibition that was on at my time of visit was also very thought provoking. Exhibits range from religious paintings to contemporary paintings to sculptures to photographs and multimedia. I almost missed the underground exhibits but 100% make it a point to stop by. The modern experimental art is incredible (funded by various German institutions I believe). Genuinely could spend hours there. You can casually see famous artists works displayed. Lovely staff as well. 10/10. That’s how you do an art museum!!

Had a nice experience and spent my time well. There was Carl Schuhe collection when I went and I really like it. Also went up to the rooftop and saw the city skyline. The cafe is also cozy and has good collection of cakes. 18 EUR well spent.

Amazing museum with an incredible collection! You can see works by Rembrandt, Kandinsky, Bosch, and many others - really fascinating to explore! The contemporary art floor is also super interesting, full of creative and thought-provoking pieces. Everything is well organized and beautifully displayed. A must-visit for anyone who loves art! Also discount with Frankfurt ticket.

Amazing collection of Classical, contemporary & Modern works of art. Easily able to spent 3 hours there. Also the view of Frankfurt skyline was very impressive. Didn't have to go to the Main Tower for it.

Fantastic art museum with a strong mix of German masters and international icons. You’ll see everything from Renaissance to contemporary art. My personal favorite: “Youth Tempted by the Vices” by Luca Giordano — dramatic, full of energy, and unforgettable. A cultural must-see in Frankfurt!

An overall pleasant space surrounded by beautiful architecture, artistically designed staircase leading up to the rooftop terrace, overlooking the River Main and Frankfurt’s skyline. Stadel didn’t seem to have as many star attractions as some of the larger museums, but Schuch and French Art exhibition was an interesting theme. I downloaded their app to see if that would work as an audio guide, but it unfortunately didn’t work.

The service is absolutely perfect, the view, the experience everything is worth it but unfortunately the food is not that special. I would expect more from a michelin star restaurant. It wasn’t bad dont get me wrong, it just wasnt 1000€ good. Dubai, tel aviv and other cities with michelin star restaurants were just better food wise.

I found it a bit too pricey and the portions are tiny, even that it is the tasting menu. The food was very good, very artistic and service was very good, not too fancy. However, I would appreciate some local touch and use of more local products instead of constantly mentioning how their tomatoes came from the best Spanish tomatoes (where exactly in Spain lol) or some French vegetables or even more far away places. Wine by glass is too expensive too and wine pairing, consisting of 6 glasses of 100ml glasses is way too big for me, I would not be able to drink a whole bottle of wine alone.

My sister and I were in the lounge and had a few drinks (Mojitos, Negroni, Espresso Martini, Macallan Whiskey) as well as the cheese selection. Everything was very tasty and beautifully prepared. The view was amazing and the staff very attentive and friendly.

Excellent cuisine with a view. The Main Tower delivers a beautifu viewl of the city and some delicious molecular gastronomy, but lacks in ambience and service. The setting is a bit austere and does not have the opulence of some other fine dining establishments. The service is typical German: to the point. The dishes were explained well, but it was all transactional. If you don't order the wine course - good luck. Cocktails and other drinks were hard to come by - my sole cocktail was never offered for a refill, water refills were also rather slow. The pace of the dinner is very slow, one truly can relax and enjoy the meal over 4+ hours with the nice sunset view of the city. All the courses were expertly crafted and very good to exceptional. Only a few, such as the quail for main course was sub-par. It is a bit pricey and I must admit the experience, while very good, just didn't have the wow factor we were looking for.

I would give more than 5 stars if i could do. Everything is perfect. Very good service. Beautiful view. Amazing creative food. Very delicious. We reserved a table for 3 course dinner for our wedding anniversary last year and this year. The price is quiet expensive. But worth it. We want to go for fantastic dinner here to celebrate our wedding anniversary every year.

"I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience here! The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food was fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was perfectly cooked, from the starters to the dessert.

Since I live in Frankfurt (which is about 3 years) I've always wished to experience this amazing Panorama Restaurant, highlight of the city. I had luck, as I called only 10min before my arrival to book a table, and had luck to receive one (normally one needs to book days earlier, and sometimes weeks). Needless to say I was amazed with the beautiful panorama and the simple, yet sophisticated interior of the restaurant. Food was absolutely delicious. Some of the ingredients were complete new to me (as I usually stick to me personally known recepies). Every course was presented in details by the competent and very polite and professional waiter. Special thanks to the waiter Mr. Wilhelm (I hope I rememmber correctly) who made our experienced so pleasant. With regards to the price, I would not say it is expensive. The price suits the overall sensation (the spectacular view and meals) + location. Best Regards, Nevena

Very crowded all the time of the day. There are trains to all parts of Europe from this central station. The station is quite big and it is decently maintained. The trains I took from here were all on time. Even the S bahn can be taken from this station only

Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof is a huge, bustling station with stunning old architecture blended with modern design. It’s well-connected with trains to all of Germany and Europe, and offers plenty of shops, cafés, and food options. It can get crowded and the area outside feels a bit rough at night, but overall it’s an efficient and impressive travel hub.

Historic beautiful station, it is very busy with 30+ railway tracks. You can buy souvenirs even late night at the railway station

Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof is a major transportation hub and offers excellent connectivity, quick links to regional trains, long‑distance services, suburban S‑/U‑Bahn lines, and a large selection of food outlets and shops. According to recent rankings it even borders on being one of Europe’s better large stations. On the flip side, the station and especially its surrounding district have mixed reviews: many passengers mention crowding, hygiene issues (including unpleasant odours in some areas), and a part of the neighbourhood that feels somewhat rough after dark. If you’re passing through during the day with luggage and clear destination, it’s very serviceable and worth using. At night or if you plan a long stay in the area, just be a bit cautious.

Frankfurt Central Station is a large train station with attractive architecture and an impressive building. Fortunately, you can find various restaurants and services inside the station. Unfortunately, there are many beggars in the area who constantly ask for money and food. The station itself is relatively clean and organized, but unfortunately, the paths leading to the subway and lower levels often smell of urine. Also, using the restrooms requires payment, and another important point is that the platform (Gleis) for trains can change until the very last minute, so it's recommended to continuously check the platform information until your train arrives. Additionally, the DB information service is always helpful and answers your questions well, and I was satisfied with their service.

This is the main station that serves the Frankfurt city. S Bahn, U Bahn, trams and all long distance regional bahn and IC and ICE trains are staring and ending from here. Most of the officials speaks English and people are friendly. A safe location to travel solo. Always congested and full of people.

Frankfurt Central Station is a large train station with attractive architecture and an impressive building. Fortunately, you can find various restaurants and services inside the station.

Beautifully decorated area with old houses. a large and beautifully decorated square with many old shops and a lot of content. You simply go back many years. Sufficient space for parking. It's really worth visiting and seeing.

I loved it! This place truely takes you to the past. Houses are beautiful, everything is well organized. You can enter in almost every house and learn about the history of this part of Germany. It took me 3 hours to tour the whole museum park. Close to the entrance you can buy coffee and pastries, even bread (only accepting cash). I tried Apfelkuchen and it was yummy. The lady was also very sweet and polite. I only didn't like the shop with souvenirs, and lady who worked there wasn't very nice. The bus stop is very close to the museum. Overall, amazing experience. Peaceful, educative, beautiful!

Perfect day for families. Often there are artisanal crafts people around where you can either watch or participate and make dies or plastic free beeswax paper for luncheons, or weave baskets. Thee are animals and traditional foods galore. And the mediaeval buildings fro all over hassia are an added bonus. We come here often with the family. Highly recommended.

Good exhibition of historical houses and buildings from Hessen area, the history of the towns and especially stories of the people living in the houses in the past, before the buildings being relocated and preserved in the park. There are also employees and volunteers presenting in random stations, either explaining the history of the displayed items, or acting, or demonstrating how the job being done in the past, such as black smith, etx. If you are a person enjoying reading the history and explanations in the exhibition, then please make sure you plan a whole day there!

Hessenpark is truly a fascinating open-air museum! I spent almost 6 hours here and still couldn’t get enough — I will definitely come back again. With its charming historic houses, beautiful nature, and authentic atmosphere, it really feels like stepping back into the 16th–17th century. For anyone who loves history and nature, this is absolutely one of the must-visit museums in Hessen.

One of the best places around Frankfurt to go, nice atmosphere and interesting small attractions.

Here is an open air museum for Hessen region historical life style. I like it a lot. One can spend a good time not only visiting museum but also for the landscape.

I will going there and i from turkey . Just two person was there so frendly one Adriana other George. Thabk for them for other its was all is bad person can be not respect person. I will pleaa Chanel this all worker i will dont go anymore.

Love the organization during the pandemic with time sloths and buying tickets in advance. Even during the warmest period it wasn’t too crowded. The toilets could be cleaner, they were really smelly. Although my kids are not there yet, the way they decide who pays the adult tickets is nonsense- they have 1€ price for kids under 99cm, everyone else pays normal adult ticket.🙄

Considering that this is newly built just a few years ago, the cost of the build and the cost of entrance the design of some things are very poor. Overall I would not say that this is friendly enough for families. There are very few cubicles suitable for more than one person, and 2 adults and one small child is very right squeeze. The bench is barely big enough to sit on, not enough hanging hooks and serious lack of space. Baby changing facilities are terrible and there is a lack of understanding of the needs of kids. The pools themselves are ok, but again suffer from bad design. The baby splash pool is separated from the others, so you can't look after a baby in there and keep an eye on larger kids in the kids pool. The kids pool also doubles as the relaxing pool with various relaxation features for adults. But this means that the kids in the pool have less room for playing because (mostly elderly) adults want to relax and are not considerate of the kids needs. The showers are also very badly designed. It is possible to look into the mens and see them showering naked and going to the toilet as there are no doors or barriers. The ladies has a small barrier but not much better. The showers also offer no privacy from each other and there is only one small place to hang your towel in the middle of the room. So you have to walk to/from the shower to this location naked to get your towel where everybody can see in!

I had fun on the slides with my four year old. We could not find shaded seating but it was also one if the hottest days of the year ; packed

Went back again today. Very nice staff, clean facility, and not overly crowded. We all had a very nice time. Great place for a day out with the family.

A great place to unwind either at the pool or spa. Indoor and outdoor pool a plus in my book!

Nice, clean, comfortable, very well equipped. Very good restaurant too

A Stunning Blend of Romanesque and Gothic Beauty Limburg Cathedral, perched dramatically above the Lahn River, is a breathtaking sight from every angle. Its striking red-and-white façade and seven spires make it one of the most distinctive churches in Germany. The architecture is a unique blend of late Romanesque and early Gothic styles, and the interior is just as captivating—beautiful frescoes, arched ceilings, and a serene, contemplative atmosphere. Despite its historic significance (dating back to the 13th century), the cathedral is very well preserved and remains a peaceful, spiritual place. It’s not overly crowded, which makes for a more intimate and reflective visit. The views from the surrounding area are spectacular, especially if you approach the cathedral on foot through Limburg’s charming old town with its timber-framed houses. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area—it’s a gem of medieval architecture and German heritage.

We saw this Cathedral on our way to burg Eltz, (from Frankfurt) we thought of checking it out. Oh boy, we took the right decision! The cathedral was very cute and little different than other cathedrals we visited recently. It had 3 floors (upstairs) and looks simple but elegant. There is a nice view of the town from left side of the cathedral. We visited on Sat (28th Oct). It was open and free entry. There were pretty good amount of visitors, even in a gloomy day. But the best thing was, the town! Such a gorgeous, cute little town, the fishmarket (no fishy smell or nothing like that), and all those beautiful patterned colorful German houses! Even their shed (gartenhaus) had to be the same pattern, painted like those houses!! I would surly recommend anyone to visit this town and enjoy the beauty and bless them by eating in one of their restaurant.

Limburg Cathedral, also known as St. George's Cathedral after its patron saint, has been the cathedral church of the Diocese of Limburg since 1827 and stands majestically above the old town of Limburg an der Lahn, next to Limburg Castle. Its elevated position on the limestone cliffs above the Lahn River ensures that the cathedral is visible from afar. It has seven towers, more than any other church in Germany.

Really special, quote old and with lovely frescos inside and out. Park somewhere down below and meander your way up for maximal enjoyment. I managed to carry my infant all the way up, in, and around and she was delighted. Bring .50 to buy the small pamphlet (in your option of several languages) or 3€ for the booklet. The Dom‘s exterior is beautiful and has lovely bells, and the interior has a nice ambiance with chanting coming from somewhere in the transept and several centuries of historic art throughout. As cathedrals go it’s really special!

A place to visit during the week! During the weekends is full! Slow down and admire the views!

very nice view from the other side of the church

‎Hello baby are you interested to send me some feet pics and videos for sellers can you chat me on my teleg.. @dtristanpha

Very nice park

I had a great time there with my friends. There is a bar that servs also food so if you are hungry you can go there before for a snack. Just be careful not to come there before 18 o'clock cause that the time when you are allowed to start driving go kart.

Really good inside gocart track! Best that I have visited. Also very friendly staff, they did make room for my crew even it was really crowded. Thank you.

Staff is friendly and the price is worth it for the karting. Cannot speak for the paintball or the laser tag however have heard good things.

One of the only karting tracks that actually allow kids to join the action. Great and friendly staff, challenging track, good vibes

Good location to spend time actively. Karts are good, maintained. Track is 1+ minute long, indoor, have a space for overtaking. Give a try.

I only tried the Vr-escape room but it was really cool and a ton of fun with 3 of my friends.

I have visited this from cologne. There is bus stop just outside the outlet. Maybe I can recommend only when sales are available. Brands are available but the prices or the collection is just like the city branches. So, sales season may work for you. Not so worthy to visit every time when you feel like shopping assuming outlet collection or prices would be great.

Very clean and pleasant outlet area with a great variety of shops and products. the Guess store was my favorite!

A shopping center with a modern design, spacious and open-air, easy and quick access from the A3 freeway in both directions Frankfurt and Köln, shopping is enjoyable and has a variety of brands, as well as light food and drink. There are interesting offers in general, good prices and variety. The stores are quite spacious. It is worth the visit.

Very clean and accurate outlets the prices are not so low, and I didn’t see luxury Brands, have been there more than two times and curios to see the place during real seasonal sales or fashion sale times

We've been there several times. We've always made nice purchases. There are many modern brand stores.

Good place, good prices! You have parking everywhere but try to park across the street and take the bridge!

If one is looking for the usual shops like Nike or Tommy Hilfiger etc., you are definitely right here. All the prices are lowered by a lot, some even over 100 euros. It has public bathrooms and everything is wheelchair accessible. The parking lot is quite big, and you are able to park for four hours for free. Every hour afterwards costs two euros. I do have to say that it only has the basic shops and a few more unique shops, meaning that you could also get this in a normal shopping mall. The only plus point is that, as it is an outlet, it is cheaper than usual. I can recommend it if you aren't looking for something too special. It also has a few places to get food and drinks. On the weekends, holidays and in summer it can get quite full. The same goes for after school or work, when ther is nice weather. In these cases it could get hard to find a place to park, however, there are usually enough. The train station is also near by. In overall it is quite well connected. (As a tip for maybe a few new Shops, many Teenagers today shop at Pull&Bear, Bershka, Hollister, Forever 21 or Urban Outfitters)

Great cave with stunning structures. Very good guided tour for 40-45min.

Worth a visit

(Translated by Google) My son and I had a nice trip here - even though Deutsche Bahn had problems again and the first S Bahn and the first train didn't come. The museum is located directly at the train station, so you can easily organize the times for the tours. You can get through the stalactite cave with a guided tour in about 45 minutes. Since there are also quite wet steps, it is not barrier-free. When we were there, a boy made it with crutches. The cave is interesting and well lit. You have to bend down in some places or be careful not to hit your head. The woman who gave the tour was very friendly and allowed us to take a few photos. The museum is very child-friendly and is more suitable for small children/primary school students. I found the remains of animals that were found high up interesting, including bones of bison and mammoths. The museum shop is also nice, with stones and small souvenirs. In total it takes about 1.5 hours. Children cost €6 Adults cost €9 (Original) Mein Sohn und ich hatten einen schönen Ausflug hierhin - und das, obwohl die Deutsche Bahn mal wieder Probleme hatte und die erste S Bahn und der erste Zug nicht gekommen sind. Das Museum befindet sich direkt am Bahnhof, so dass man die Zeiten zu den Führungen gut organisieren kann. Die Tropfsteinhöhle hat man mit Führung in ca 45 Minuten durch. Da es auch recht nasse Stufen gibt, ist es nicht barrierefrei. Als wir dort waren, hat es ein Junge mit Krücken geschafft. Die Höhle ist interessant und gut beleuchtet. Man muss sich an einigen Stellen bücken bzw. aufpassen, dass man sich den Kopf nicht stößt. Die Frau, die die Führung durchgeführt hat, war sehr freundlich und hat uns erlaubt, ein paar Fotos zu machen. Das Museum ist sehr kindgerecht aufbereitet und ist eher was für Kleinkinder / Grundschüler. Interessant fand ich die Überreste der Tiere, die in der Höhe gefunden worden sind, u.a. Knochen von Wisents und Mammuts. Nett ist noch der Museumsshop, in dem es Steine und kleine Andenken gibt. Insgesamt braucht man ca 1,5 h. Kinder kosten 6 € Erwachsene kosten 9 €

(Translated by Google) Before your trip, I advise you to call the museum and find out when the next excursion will be. We were 10 minutes late and had to wait 2 hours. And what a shame there is no cafe nearby, you have to go downstairs. I liked the guide, he spoke with enthusiasm. For one visit maybe. If you are with children, they will find it very interesting. (Original) Перед поездкой советую созвониться с музеем и узнать по времени, когда будет следующая экскурсия. Мы опоздали на 10 минут, ждать пришлось 2 часа. И что обидно рядом нет кафе, надо спускаться вниз. Понравился гид, рассказывал с увлечением. На одно посещение может быть. Если с детьми то им будет очень интересно.

(Translated by Google) The tour was interesting for our family. Our children are 6 and 10 years old. Note that it is around 10° Celsius in the cave and quite humid. There are puddles in some places. Take this into account when choosing clothing. The tour lasts about 45 minutes, which is not at all strenuous even for children. There are fairly steep stairs in two places. There is also a machine there to make commemorative coins. For this you need a 1€ coin and a 5¢ coin. Although the friendly man at the checkout is willing to change money to avoid waiting in line, I recommend having the coins ready in advance. You can buy ice cream at the checkout. There are also two snack machines. Overall, the small museum at the entrance and the walk through the cave were interesting and educational. (Original) Für unsere Familie war die Führung interessant. Unsere Kinder sind 6 und 10 Jahre alt. Beachten Sie, dass es in der Höhle etwa 10° Celsius ist und es ziemlich feucht ist. An einigen Stellen gibt es Pfützen. Berücksichtigen Sie dies bei der Wahl der Kleidung. Die Führung dauert etwa 45 Minuten, was auch für Kinder überhaupt nicht anstrengend ist. An zwei Stellen gibt es ziemlich steile Treppen. Dort gibt es auch einen Automaten, um Erinnerungsmünzen herzustellen. Dafür benötigen Sie eine 1€-Münze und eine 5¢-Münze. Obwohl der freundliche Mann an der Kasse bereit ist, Geld zu wechseln, um nicht in der Schlange zu warten, empfehle ich, die Münzen im Voraus bereitzuhalten. An der Kasse kann man Eis kaufen. Es gibt auch zwei Snackautomaten. Insgesamt waren das kleine Museum am Eingang und der Spaziergang durch die Höhle interessant und lehrreich.

(Translated by Google) Simply SUPER and always happy. First-class tour with lots of information about the creation and other work in the cave. Outside it was 31° in the cave maybe 10° then a tour of the museum, with many exhibits from excavations in the cave or other caves. There are good parking options and clean sanitary facilities. Particularly recommended for families with children aged 6 and over. (Original) Einfach nur SUPER und immer wieder gerne. Erstklassige Führung mit vielen Informationen zur Entstehung und weiteren arbeiten in der Höhle. Draußen waren 31° in der Höhle vielleicht 10° anschließend eine Besichtigung des Museums, mit vielen Exponaten aus Grabungen in der Höhle oder anderen Höhlen. Es gibt gute Parkmöglichkeiten und saubere Sanitäre Einrichtungen. Besonders zu Empfehlen für Familien mit Kindern ab 6 Jahre.

(Translated by Google) Guide - Ukrainian, German, Dutch, English everything is excellent, the cave is quite large, worth a visit) (Original) Гид - Украинский, Немецкий, Нидерландский, Английский все отлично пещера довольна большая стоит сходить)

We had a lovely tour followed by an outstanding meal which included a piano recital that was just breathtaking. A most memorable evening indeed!

🐶☺️

What an amazing privilege to be able to visit such a wonderful place and to be treated as family. The musical entertainment was simply perfect. An opportunity not to be missed.

Great day hosted by the Princess as part of an APT tour. Got to see interior, exterior & the gardens.

We really enjoyed our visit. The rose garden is very pretty. Entire evening was once in a lifetime experience.

Beautiful Castle and residence. Welcomed by the Princess and was told of the history

Lovely castle, but when they have a big show or event on, the traffic and parking is a nightmare and the people directing traffic are useless.

Very pretty garden maintained by the RUB. I enjoyed the walk all through. The entire garden is downhill. So it takes more strain to reach back than expected.

It was a nice place to visit. However seeing part of the Chinese house was temporary closed due to vulgar activities of previous visitors was so sad. I wish it can be renovated soon.

Super cute botanical garden with every single plant being labeled. The Chinese garden as well as the greenhouses with all the cactuses were the highlight. Really well taken care of, big space. Loved it!!

Excitingly beautiful garden with various exotic plants around the world and exhibits (sometimes have to pay or donate for a few euros) Entrance to the garden and green houses are free.

It's a great place to take your friend and family. They have several exhibits covering Savannah, Australia, south east Asia etc. The green houses are climate controlled and every one of them are different. They are meticulously maintenaned by the botanists in the university. There is a nice cafeteria if you need a break; a lot to see. All the trees and plants are labeled for your convenience. I did not see a guided tour as such.

We enjoyed being there, we found pepper and cactus gardens the most impressive. There are many plants to see. Chinese garden is well decorated and we saw fish in this garden. Parking place and entrance are free, it is worth seeing there.

Lovely little oasis of calm. Great for a nice walk with lots to see. The Chinese garden is beautiful. The three themed (rain forest, desert, savanna) hot houses are well laid out and planted. Good access although could be difficult in parts for wheel chair users as some of the ramps are overgrown.

This place is actually interesting there is parking space, you can ride your bicycles with your friends there ,. Go there for a picnic. Relax and chill read a book so many things its so good in Spring and Summer and totally 🆓

Huge space, lovely landscape, the whole family (adults, kids and dog) loved it! There is a mini-golf at the entrance, also a restaurant a bit further, playgrounds, and a dedicated big place for dogs to run off the leash.

Was a really great park! I studied abroad in Bonn for a month for the Summer of 2024 and I ran through this park several times a week, an absolutely beautiful place with several great events, bike paths, running/walking paths, and natural areas to explore. While i never took advantage of it myself it also has amazing sports related facilities. I was also able to visit the monthly flea market while I was there which was an absolute blast!

One of the best and great places to spend sometime with the nature for free 😀

Its really really nice in here. People can do grilling, picnic dates play with friends like volleyball, badminton, football, inline/roller skating, riding a bike, going for a walk playing fetch with your dog, skateboard, and many more. There are lots of activities you could do. Its a big park i would say. There is even a restaurant with a restroom and playground for kids. Every sunday a lot of people are there. There are trashcans you will see everywhere to prevent dirty park which ivery nice

Wonderful park for a wee walk, to relax and listen to nature. The Japanese garden is nice, but it was very busy. Lot's of people out and about, but it didn't felt overcrowded. We enjoyed our visit there....

Great Park with various features such as a Japanese guarden and a row of Roman grave stones found in the area.

The exhibition atm is smaller than expected. The upper floors were under construction & the lowest floor was about Roman period. After Hilter exhibition is on the ground floor. Educates you about Germany after WWII and quite informative on historical events that remain relevant to today's unfortunate time. Their cafe is pricey but the museum's admission is free, staff are friendly, and their lounge is perfect for students or remote work - quiet and modern. I would love to come back for the other parts of the museum.

For understanding modern German history in Bonn, I think this is a great place; it presents the period from post-war years up to reunification in a clear, chronological way, plus it’s free to visit and very easy to reach. Unfortunately, when we went, the permanent exhibition was under renovation, so we couldn’t see the main display and only visited the temporary exhibitions. Still, the atmosphere and overall organization were nice; for those planning a visit, I’d recommend checking on the official website in advance to see whether the permanent exhibition is open.

I must see when in Bonn - definitely buy tickets in advance. When we were there, There was low traffic and the museum is currently being re-organised but it is definitely worth it. The café is nice. We had cake and coffee there which was a nice early afternoon / mid afternoon break And lots of history that you just were not really aware of. I must see when in Bonn

The exhibition about the second world war was open to visitors when I visited the museum. It was really interesting to learn more about antisemitism and what people experienced from generation to generation

I visited in accordance with the high rating and recommendation. A museum not on a general history of Germany, but only on the second world war and its effects. For this reason, although there were a few interesting parts, it did not satisfy me.

A really sobering exhibition, and essential visiting for anyone who considers themselves politically interested. Lots of things to think about, especially how the 'elders' of a nation holds on to ideas of the past and steer youth towards it.

I find the visit very impressive. It’s an educative place, though currently there’s only one temporary exhibition since the main exhibition is under renovation. I’m thankful that there’s English translation everywhere.

Paid €3.60 for for two hours of parking then needed to feed a newborn baby, went to the gate to exit still within the 2 hours of paid parking it wanted more money because time of paying and time of exit were different. Despite paying for two hours and attempted to exit in those two hours. Called for help on machine and no answer

Perfect parking

(Translated by Google) It's a sufficiently large parking lot. You can only pay with cash, and only bills up to 20 euros are accepted. I think this is a problem, especially for foreign visitors who are used to paying by card. Hence, one star less. (Original) Es handelt sich um einen ausreichend großen Parkplatz. Man kann nur mit Bargeld bezahlen und es werden nur Scheine bis 20 Euro angenommen. Ich denke, gerade für ausländische Besucher, die an Kartenzahlung gewöhnt sind, ist das ein Problem. Daher ein Sternchen weniger.

(Translated by Google) It's very beautiful here. However, parking is limited on busy days. You can find additional parking nearby. (Original) Es ist sehr schön hier. Parkplätze reichen aber an gzt besuchten Tagen nicht. Man kann in der Nähe weitere Parkplätze finden

(Translated by Google) A quiet place to linger, with occasional lovely events; every visit is worthwhile. The tours are highly recommended. (Original) Ruhiger Ort zum verweilen und ab und an auch mit schönen Veranstaltungen jeder besuch lohnt sich. Sehr zu empfehlen sind die Rundgänge.

(Translated by Google) It gets very crowded on weekends and the incline isn't easy for novice drivers. Otherwise, it's fine. (Original) Am Wochenende ist er sehr überfüllt und die Steigung ist nicht einfach für Fahranfänger. Ansonsten ist er in Ordnung.

(Translated by Google) Nice parking lot with plenty of spaces. Very clean. (Original) Schöner Parkplatz mit viele Plätze.Sehr sauber.

A beautiful forest with gigantic sculptures scattered around. The mix creates an interesting atmosphere

We drove 3 hours to get to this wonderful park filled with art and nature.

Peaceful and quiet place to connect bothe nature and art. The climb from town to the park might be a bit challenging, but once you got there, the pace is slowing down. Only downside are the somewhat high admission fees (EUR 13)

Wonderful sculpture park set in lovely forest landscape. The brainchild of local German-British artist Tony Cragg (born 1949), the park also includes artworks by Henry Moore, Joan Miro, Thomas Schütte, Ulrich Rückriem, Jaume Plensa, Georg Baselitz, Per Kirkeby, Sean Scully, and others. The restaurant at the entrance, Café Podest, is lovely too.

Interesting, but not great. Most sculptures are by the same person, & it shows. Has a certain talent however very little range. Once you have seen one or two of the pieces, you really have pretty much seen them all. Several of the sculptures in municipal settings around the area too are very obviously by the same artist. We have been to far better sculpture parks.

Beautiful and green garden with stunning art - they do also have a great cafe with tasty dishes, waffles and cake - the perfect activity for a warm summer day :)

The sculptures that adorned the space were nothing short of extraordinary. Each piece exuded a remarkable level of artistry and craftsmanship, captivating the attention and engaging the imagination. The selection and placement of these sculptures demonstrated a keen curatorial eye, further enhancing the overall aesthetic experience.

It’s a very huge park, with a castle and multiple ponds and various types of trees and plants. All the trees and plants are with labels and you can get yourself informed about them. There’s also a toilet free of charge, and also a restaurant. It’s an amazing place to visit on weekends with family and friends.

Beautiful botanical garden. It's free of charge, the territory is pretty big. There's a nice greenhouse with a lot of plants, small pond and benches to have a rest. Also you can find a coffeeshop inside.

A beautiful place especially the greenhouse and the ponds. And because the gardens are completely free to enter its easy to recommend this place. There is also a lovely cafe with delicious cake and friendly staff.

A very beautiful place to visit for people like me who loves to see variety of plants and tree species. And it is FREE to visit! I highly recommend. I will visit again soon :)

Beautiful, peaceful gardens with some shady places to escape the sun. Fascinating trees and plants from all over the world. Amazing water lilies, ducks, turtles, geese and staff around to help if you have questions.

The walk through the garden gave us the greatest peace of mind and soul. You should sit on one of the benches in the garden, take off your shoes, turn off your smartphone and simply listen and smell the botanical garden.

Beautiful botanical garden with a big plant collection. There is a glass house with a lot of plants in different environments. It is free to enter. I would highly recommend to visit it. They have one amorphophallus titanum that will flower soon.

Amazing experience and a highlight when you are in Wuppertal. Just take a ride from one end to the other. Consider checking the schedules because the Schwebebahn is often in maintenance mode.

Only runs on weekends right now. But if you keep that in mind, it's a very affordable and unique tourist attraction. Great way to see a beautiful city. Buy the all-day ticket and hop on and off. Don't forget to learn about the famous elephant who rode the train

It was a really nice experience for us and the children that the rail way was above the river and streets

Elevatated train from 1901 is a must see. It costs €14.50 for a 3-person 24-hour ticket that includes buses.

Bahn is great fun, but pnr didnt work there it was hard to left the car

It's a very good experience for a one time ride. The trains were nice and clean. Lines are beautifully constructed over the central canal through the city. The views of the surrounding hills are also nice. Tips: The tail end seats offer the best views. It's a bit noisy ride.

I was told about this suspension railway and recommended to try it. I joined at Kluse (one stop down from the main train station, next to the cinema) and grabbed a ticket - although cheap (only 1.70) I found the machine doesn't take credit card, so come prepared with coins. The railway isn't big - only two carriages - but they are pretty frequent so if you miss one (or it's full), you don't have long to wait for the next. The carriages have been modernised: they're brightly-lit with clean seats that don't look worn in any way. Sitting at the back gives a good view down the river and along the roads during the trip, but as I tried it last evening in winter most of my trip was quite dark. I travelled south-west all the way to Vohwinkel (the terminal stop) where it's possible to see the other carriages parked, so there's quite a few cars. I then grabbed the one on the other side and travelled back the other way. Quite leisurely, a pretty smooth ride and fairly quick, given the age of the technology. Well worth the trip!

Villa Hügel is an impressive testament to German engineering. The architecture and historical significance as the Krupp family residence are fascinating. A must-visit for anyone interested in technology and history!

A stunning and peaceful place filled with history. Once home to the Krupp family, Villa Hügel impresses with its elegant architecture, grand halls, and beautiful parkland. The exhibitions are well curated and give a deep insight into Germany’s industrial past. A must-visit if you're in the Ruhr area! Amazing place

I would give it a lower rating because there are no explanations in English in the museum, just a small leaflet at the entrance. You also have an app with AR, but only in German, but luckily, I got information beforehand on the internet and I use technology so I can get by, but as a museum, at least add explanations in English for tourists? This is a problem with many German museums. Anyway, the residence and the museum itself are magnificent. The staff is friendly, the park is beautiful. I also watched the TV series about the Krupps, so it was nice to see this in live. A truly magical place. I love history and historical sites and enjoy exploring them around Germany, but many institutions don't seem to care about tourists.

It was nice to visit the residence of this old timey Jeffrey Bezos, the villa and the garden are beautiful. English translations were missing in the exhibitions and most staff were rude - a number of times they shouted at me or my son in German. You can’t get anything to eat except for fries (nice but not fresh) and bratwurst that was very low quality.

This is one of the amazing places in Essen to visit. A beautiful historical building featuring rich pieces of history. The architecture and design are quite unique and breathtaking, making it very worthwhile to spend as much time going to the many various rooms and seeing artwork, classic furniture and many more. The park around the villa is also quite amazing to walk around and take a nice relaxing stroll. There is an entrance fee to the villa but it is very affordable and I would recommend a visit to this historical house. The place is on the other side of the S-Bahn station of Essen-Hügel, and there are signs to get to the villa, so you can’t really miss this fantastic sight.

An amazing home to visit and look around. The grounds around the home are stunning!!

Großeshaus was closed. I only visited the Kleineshaus which is the museum. Museum has only German subtitles which was dissappointing. Museum has 2 floors and the inside is all about the Krupp Family and how they grew their business, their effects on war, their products etc. There is a big garden where you can walk around and enjoy the clean air. The Villa is close to the Baldeneysee and the Hügel Station.

Interesting to visit, however the visiting time is very limited and the 2G rule is there although it is outdoor.

(Translated by Google) We found it very nice. Were there on a Saturday and only at 9 p.m., but there was still a lot going on. But we didn't have to wait long. The lights and attractions were beautiful and photo worthy. (Original) Wir fanden es sehr schön. Waren an einem Samstag da und erst um 21 Uhr, dafür war aber noch ordentlich was los. Anstehen mussten wir aber nicht groß. Die Lichter und Attraktionen waren schön und Fotos wert.

(Translated by Google) [03/04/2022] Located at the exhibition center in Essen, the GrugaPark offers many activities in summer and winter. Every year after dusk, the Gruga lights are a colorful and attractive place to visit with many different light installations in shape and color. Always a highlight for photographers. A toilet and stops for eating and drinking are also available. There are several parking lots around the park. Admission is €6.00 ​​for adults. (Original) [04.03.2022] An der Messe in Essen gelegen bietet der GrugaPark im Sommer und Winter viele Aktivitäten. Das Grugaleuchten ist jedes Jahr nach der Dämmerung eine bunte und attraktive Besuchsmöglichkeit mit vielen verschiedenen Lichtinstallationen in Form und Farbe. Für Fotografen immer ein Highlight. Ein WC sowie Stops zum essen und trinken sind auch vorhanden. Rund um den Park gibt es mehrere Parkplätze. Der Eintritt kostet für Erwachsene 6,00 Euro.

(Translated by Google) It was absolutely beautiful. A lot to see. Terrain that is sometimes difficult for older people and yet very dark. But everything worked out. A great attraction for young and old. Price performance top! The physical well-being was also provided in abundance at affordable prices. Toilets clean 👍🏼 Tip: Use the side entrances and book the tickets in advance. Then it's a walk through, the parking lot on the side of the road was SO free. We'd love to come back. (Original) War voll schön. Viel zu sehen. Für ältere Leute teilweise schwieriges Terrain und doch sehr dunkel. Aber hat alles geklappt. Für Groß und Klein ne tolle Attraktion. Preis Leistung top! Für das leibliche Wohl wurde auch reichlich gesorgt zu erschwinglichen Preisen. Toiletten sauber 👍🏼 Tip: Nutzt die Seiteneingänge und bucht die Karten vorab. Dann ist es ein Durchmarsch, auch der Parkplatz war SO am Straßenrand kostenlos. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

(Translated by Google) An event that you have to see if you come from the Ruhr area. We were there on a weekday and got a parking space straight away. We had already booked the tickets (adults €9) online and it was very quick at the entrance. Beautiful light events in different shapes and sizes. A great artist! You can also get mulled wine, coffee and bratwurst if you're slightly hungry. A bratwurst in a bun for €4 is reasonable. It took us about 1 1/2 to 2 hours and it was a nice trip ;-) (Original) Eine Veranstaltung die man gesehen haben muss wenn man aus dem Ruhrgebiet kommt. Wir waren an einem Wochentag dort und haben auch sofort einen Parkplatz bekommen. Die Tickets ( Erwachsene 9€ )hatten wir online schon gebucht und es ging sehr schnell am Eingangsbereich. Wunderschöne Lichtereignisse in verschiedenen Formen und Größen. Ein toller Künstler ! Glühwein, Kaffee und Bratwurst für den kleinen Hunger kann man auch bekommen. Eine Bratwurst im Brötchen für 4€ sind angemessen. Wir benötigten ca 1 1/2 bis 2 Stunden und es war ein schöner Ausflug ;-)

(Translated by Google) I was just blown away, there was a lot on offer and it was very well attended. And the entrance fee is totally justified at 9 euros for an adult. The only drawback is perhaps the search for a parking space. (Original) Ich war nur hin und weg , es wird einen viel geboten und es war auch sehr gut besucht . Und der Eintritt ist total gerechtfertigt mit 9 Euro für einen Erwachsenen . Das einzige Manko ist vielleicht die Parkplatz suche .

(Translated by Google) Beautiful light installations. Really great for 2-3 hours to walk and switch off. I would only recommend this to a limited extent with children. At the end there are lights in a park. There is no interaction to speak of. This probably makes it quickly uninteresting for children. 1 star less because there are no signposts. If you don't know your way around the park, you'll quickly find yourself in front of an exit that's not the one you came in through. That might have to be changed. (Original) Schöne Lichtinstallationen. Für 2-3 Stunden zum spazieren und abschalten wirklich toll. Mit Kindern würde ich das nur eingeschränkt empfehlen. Am Ende sind es Lichter in einem Park. Es gibt keine nennenswerte Interaktion. Das macht es, wahrscheinlich, für Kinder schnell uninteressant. 1 Stern weniger, da es keine Wegweiser gibt. Wenn man sich in dem Park nicht auskennt, steht man mal schnell vor einem Ausgang, der nicht der ist, durch den man rein gekommen ist. Das müsste man vll. ändern.

(Translated by Google) Worth a look, interesting and romantic experience. Definitely go and check it out. Your physical well-being is also taken care of. (Original) Sollte man sich anschauen, interessant und Romantisches Erfahrung. Geht auf jeden Fall hin und schaut es euch an. Für euer leibliches Wohl ist auch gesorgt.

(Translated by Google) Always worth seeing. Very lovingly designed light installations. Dogs are also allowed. The park shines with new lights every year and different themes are implemented. There are always a few installations that stand out and the €7 entry fee is definitely worth it. (Original) Immer wieder sehenswert. Sehr liebevoll gestaltet Lichtinstallationen. Auch Hunde dürfen mit. Der Park erstrahlt jedes Jahr in neuem Lichterglanz und verschiedene Themen werden umgesetzt. Es gibt immer ein paar Installation, die herausstechen und die 7 € Eintritt sind es definitiv wert.
