A beautiful resting place for our dear American soldiers. You are not forgotten!

I was at the Ardennes American Cemetery this past week. A beautiful tribute to our fallen soldiers during WWII. It was special seeing this with snow on the ground. Beautiful chapel. Thank you to all the men and women who serve in our Armed Forces. We owe our Freedom to your sacrifice.

Happened upon this National Cemetery by chance. One of my few recent memories that made me proud to be an American. I totally noticed that every blade of grass was the same height. What an amazing way to honor those unfortunate soldiers that died so young. Incredible. Nicely done NCA.

Our family visited on Veterans Day 2022, marking the 5th American Cemetery we've visited in Europe. It was just as impressive and wonderful as the others before. Although small, I am always brought to tears. Most notable to me, on this day, was the number of Belgian, Dutch and French families that were visiting the American Cemeteries, bringing flowers, wreaths, prayers and their families. 📺 @destinationeverywhere 👍 @comeseeitall 🎵 @we_explore_everywhere 📷 @we.explore.everywhere

No words can express how amazing this place is. My family is grateful for the work the American Battle Monuments Commission does to protect and honor lost American Hero’s ! My great uncle was here from 1945-2019 as a unknown, he was positively identified by DNA in 2021.

Had the honor and privilege to visit The Ardennes American Cemetery and Memorial today. What a beautiful place for the fallen to rest. Great job to the caretakers of the place. Also a special thanks to the Assistant Superintendent for the overview and discussion. Your passion and love for taking care of our fallen is very apparent. It really means a lot.

I love how it s all clean and properly cultivated. Impressive size. Crosses are beautiful set in a row. Good for walk and relax.

This was a really cool bar, right next to the giant steps. Downstairs you were able to get food, upstairs and outside was just a bar. They had all their own beers on tap as well as some other local breweries. If the weather is good the garden was a great spot for a drink.

Probably the most impressive flight of stairs I’ve ever seen & climbed to be fair, and I’ve been up more than a few stairs in my time. Needed to catch my breath now & again! Wouldn’t like to be the postman here (yes there are letterboxes) As the signs keep telling you, keep the noise down to respect the local residents.

Montagne de Bueren is one of the most impressive spots in Liège. Climbing all those steps might be a bit of a challenge, but once you reach the top, it’s absolutely worth it. The view over the city is truly breathtaking — especially at sunset, it looks like a painting. Just be careful on the way down… your legs might still think you’re climbing up! 😄🏙️

A nice short work out if you fancy it. Saw a few locals running up and down. Lovely views along the way if you stop and turn around and it leads to a prominent monument and viewpoint. Plenty of routes leading on from the top to wander back down or just take the stairs down. It’s a public pathway so no need to book or buy tickets just walk.

Worth the climb! Most famous location in liege. Suitable for families to visit. MUST SEE all the view points after going up hill. Only disadvantage is for wheel chairs and baby strollers. We will need to carry them with us to the top.

Good exercise with breath taking views up and down the stairs. You can count them as you go to see how many they are

It has around 364 steps, built early as a passage to the city. You will find amazing views of the Liege city from the top. On reaching the top you will find a hospital and view points

An excellent day out exploring the monastery and it's beautiful church and gardens, as well as a beer tasting. The food was good - but the beer is really something special. Definitely a worthwhile visit. Take plenty of money for the gift shop, if you taste the beer you won't be leaving empty handed.

Amazing place. Quiet, well kept, beautiful park, brewery incorporated into abbey area. Very good and cozy restaurant, friendly staff, abbey shop full of nice items, cheese and beer of course! Place to visit !!!

Great tour, learned a lot about the history and origin of the abbey, the church and the brewery. They also have great beers and cheeses both at the terrace and in the shop. All beers are brewed onsite!

An absolute must to stop at. We got there just after opening time on a Wednesday and there were just a handful of customers. A fantastic selection of beers on tap and lots of seating inside and out

Great experience touring the abbey and brewery

Team building with my team! Very nice moment😎 private tour for a group of 15 persons

Beautiful Abbey and beer tour was wonderful. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Would go again and take all my friends!

Very poignant and beautifully kept cemetery and memorial. It really puts so much into perspective when you walk around, the endless rows of white crosses, the beautiful flowers and on some graves the photos of the young heroes who gave their lives, so we can be here today! You can't help but shed a tear. Very moving indeed. The visitor centre is also very informative. Highly recommended for a visit and to pay respects 🙏🏻 🕯

We had the honor of visiting earlier in January. It was the experience of a lifetime as the kind staff offered the ceremonial sanding of our loved one's grave marker. The weather was not good but the folks there accommodated us very graciously. The relatively new visitor center has a lot to offer, exhibits and an informative ~30 minute film on the heroes and the formation of the Cemetery. If I may say so, it is a *must visit* destination for families of fallen war heroes who are buried there. Truly remarkable and unforgettable for me as a relative a fallen hero who lies in honor at Margraten.

Our family’s Veterans Day visit to the Netherlands American Cemetery was incredibly moving and a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by so many. The grounds are beautifully maintained, honoring each fallen hero with the utmost respect. Walking among the rows of white crosses, sharing the stories of bravery with our children, was a truly humbling experience. The cemetery staff were kind and knowledgeable, adding depth to our understanding of the history here. We left feeling deeply grateful and proud, and highly recommend this visit to anyone—especially on Veterans Day.

This cemetery is really interesting and fascinating to visit. Walking on the large, cross-filled fields is such a unique experience, and it reminds you that each of those crosses is a life of someone. Someone who didn't deserve to die, someone whose life could've been so much longer. As for the state of the cemetery, it's super well maintained and you can see the effort put into it to keep it that way. I personally didn't get the chance to visit the (paid) visitors center, which looks very modern and sleek blender into the green area around it. Though it looks fun as something extra you can do if you have the time.

It's the only American cemetery in the Netherlands (Est. 1945). A place to be quiet in memory of the more than 18.000 American soldiers lost, of which 10010 still here, who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. It's well maintained by people mostly unseen, even the American flag is up every single day. A few battle maps illustrate what happened, the many crosses speak for themselves. An excellent place to remember ourselves, and to show our next generation, it's worth to preserve freedom in honor of those who brought us peace. If everyone is thinking alike, someone isn’t thinking - General George Patton

They have a really nice set up of the tombs, Americans really know how to give an experience. By the way, its free entry

Recently visited this impressive place. The parking is free and toilets were available. First, you pass the Court of Honor, where all the names of those who were never recovered are inscribed. Some names have a bronze star which means they were were later found. After passing the chapel you enter the cemetery where the numbers of the fallen soldiers are really put into perspective. There is a small visitor center with the stories of those who received the Medal of Honor on display, there is currently a new visitor center under construction. Everything is well attended to. Everything is wheelchair accessible. This place is really worth a visit to pay our respects to those who fought for freedom.

They say, “If you stand still, you fall behind.” But in a place like this, you have to stand still. To pause. To reflect. On what was lost — so many lives, taken in the name of God, of money, of ideas that lost all meaning in the bloodshed. And yet, humanity seems to have learned so little. How many more must die before we truly understand what peace means? A place filled with silence. But the silence screams.

I arrived here somewhat by accident just out on a bike ride after taking part in the Liege Bastogne Liege event and when I parked up my bike just outside I was met by a somewhat stern warden who told me I couldn’t leave it there. When I spoke to her I told her I had been to several American cemeteries including the Somme and elsewhere in Belgium. Once she realised I was genuinely interested her mood completely changed and I was actually given a place inside the building to keep my bike whilst I visited the cemetery. Like all American cemeteries here in France and Belgium this place of burial and remembrance is absolutely immaculate, sad and intriguing at the same time, a fitting reminder to all those who gave up their lives in the great wars.

Visited on a Leger Tour, incredibly beautiful Cemetery and Memorial, The largest US cemetery in Belgium.

Beautiful cemetery grounds. Peaceful and much quieter and less crowded than Normandy. Very worth a visit. Parking lot is small. There is a WC on the opposite side of the cemetery from the parking lot, just look for the sign.

A deeply moving and highly impressive place, which brings home the cost of freedom paid by so many young American men so far from home. The members of staff are excellent and very helpful.

Beautiful and moving. 7,987 American Soldiers who lost their lives during WWII rest here. Humbled to have visited to pay respect.

Very emotional visit. If you're in Belgium and can make a stop, I highly suggest visiting some of the men who gave their all for the liberation of Europe in WWII. If you're looking to visit please either have a tour group ready to help you get there or rent a car. It's probably too far to walk and the small country road doesn't have a side walk.

Car collection was nice the rest was not that great. The museum part of the building the signs are only in French next to the exhibition pieces.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) Spa-Francorchamps Museum at Abbey of Stavelot – A Niche Experience, but Limited for Non-French Speakers We visited the Spa-Francorchamps Museum housed within the Abbey of Stavelot, drawn by its connection to one of the most iconic racetracks in the world. The collection of vintage photos, memorabilia, and race cars offers a nostalgic look at the evolution of motorsport in the region. However, we were disappointed to find that most of the exhibit information is in French, with very limited English translations. This significantly impacted the depth of understanding and engagement for non-French speakers. For an international attraction tied to such a globally renowned circuit, this felt like a missed opportunity. We did not explore the rest of the abbey or the other museum sections, so our review is solely based on the Spa exhibition. The museum setting is atmospheric and well-maintained, and motorsport enthusiasts will still enjoy the visuals and artifacts. But for non-French-speaking visitors, the experience may feel incomplete unless improvements are made to language accessibility.

Great value, four museums on one ticket. Something's for everyone including a great teaching museum for race fans.

The 3 in 1 museum depends of the time of the year, we went to specifically visit the Space Exhibition but it was already over so we only visited the permanent exhibition and the Racetrack museum. To be honest, the permanent exhibition doesn't worth the visit, most of the things you can see are not original relics but copies (and poorly made copies!) and everything was in french, too much space for such few things, what a disappointment. But the Racetrack was another story, it is not big but it has a very valuable collection of race cars and memorabilia specially for fans and kids. Then you can make a walk through the town (is small) and then I recommend visit the waterfalls of Coo, that is another completely different thing! In summary, very disappointment of the Abbey, but the surroundings are very beautiful and you can make lots of other stuffs in the areas nearby.

Looks quite nice, the Musik about the racetrack is also pretty cool.

Interesting exhibits , inexpensive tickets, nice coffee shop, friendly staff

The museum has been renovated in a very nice way but it doesn't houses any real artefacts unfortunately. The history of the abbay is explained in a very educational way. The temporary exhibition of national geographic was worthwhile.

Very beautiful track, historical, nested in the Belgian Ardennes, 100 meters elevation through the track, the wonderful Eau-Rouge uphill, the pines beneath the photo spots... An unforgettable 5/5 experience for any motorsport fan !

Amazing experience watching F1 Grand Prix at this location. Just remember, there will be traffic if you come by car, so make your timing accordingly. I would recommend to buy fixed seat like at least a silver ticket because bronze tickets have no specific seat and it can be difficult to find a good view point. However, once the race is started, you can enjoy it from anywhere around the circuit. Normally it rains during the event at end of July, so remember to take your protection like raincoats and water resistant shoes. I saw many people are camping at the location which is a better option I would say if possible, to avoid all the traffic.

This legendary and historical circuit is very well kept. Eau Rouge is much steeper than images suggest and lives up to the hype. It's a fantastic wide and fast track. The only lunch available during the trackday was an expensive (but very average) buffet so bring your own.

The overall experience at Spa was really great. The circuit is one of my favorites – high-speed curves, good overtaking spots, and fantastic energy. I stayed at Silver 1, and despite the concrete seating, it's truly a great spot with a wonderful view of Eau Rouge. However, there are some points for improvement: Come on, Spa organizers! It took four hours to exit the yellow parking lot. This is a shame, and it's been like this for years! The Silver stands really deserve a cover to protect from the rain. The fan zone was quite disappointed. There were only simulators, a show car, and tire-changing activities. I was expecting much more. And during red flags, instead of just having someone trying to hype up the public with random music and basic entertainment, interviews, some curiosities about the circuit and Formula 1, or historic images from the circuit's past would work much better. It was really boring to listen to an hour of random music and watch someone trying to make people have fun. Overall, it was a good experience, but there are many aspects that the organizers should improve

Fantastic circuit to come & watch the racing, great views from the grandstand of the start/finish line & the pits & podium. Decent array of food & drink available, including free water refill stations. Lots of merchandise available by inside & out of the circuit, although fairly pricey. Biggest negative is getting to & particularly, from the circuit, as the roads are country roads & there's pretty much 1 road in, 1 road out, so long delays, particularly getting away from the circuit. My advice is to arrive as early as possible when coming to the circuit.

Attended the F1 race last weekend. The track is everything I hoped for. The event being put on by F1, not so much. Buying a GA ticket we walked the entire track and had a great time. But all the places with good views for GA tickets had been blocked by black cloth over fencing. Basically trying to force you to buy a much more expensive ticket for a view. Also, the parking was A NIGHTMARE! Quick to take your money and guide you into a spot, but when the race was over, not a single person in sight to help direct traffic. It was everyone for themselves. We sat in a farm field for almost 3 hours trying to leave!

Went on a Ferrari practice day…and it was a little confusing to navigate the venue. We explored until we were told we couldn’t go in the restricted area. Did get up to the podium, restaurant and gift shop. Walked around different areas and it was a fun afternoon!

Very nice and friendly personal. It was very nice to visit at Sunday because it wasn't busy at all. Hopefully they will build an audio or video tour to become more part of what Cuyper build from furniture to whole buildings.

Surprisingly nice and inspiring place to visit when in Roermond! If you like sketches, architecture and the real ambacht. This place you definitely need to visit. Love how they go back to basics from sketch until the real result and they also have some areas where you can practice and learn. Very nice!

You will learn a lot about architecture in the Netherlands in a museum that is made with a lot of thought and effort.

#29Roermond if your a fan of Cuypers then of course you have to come here. Nice little gift shop and a cafe when you enter. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The building is from Cuypers too (1853). I quiet like the Celtic and medieval motifs in his work and thought I'd see more of that which I didn't, but I did learn a lot about the complete works if Cuypers. #railthetrails

The museum tells the story of Pierre Cuypers and his importance for Dutch architecture. Friendly staff, treasure hunt for the little ones. And the building itself is beautiful.

It was whimsical experience. Loved every single little detail ❤️

Visiting Roermond, this place seemed like a must go. We've been there, asking how long is the tour. The reception was only willing to sell ticket. It was 30 minutes before the closing time, the tour is more than one hour, we were asking to the reception how long is the tour, and still, the reception only wanted to sell ticket. - How long is the visit ? - Yes, you can visit. - How long is the visit ? - Yes, you can visit, the ticket is... [forgotten price] - Do we have time to see everything ? - If you want to visit, the ticket is.... [forgotten price] This was the conversation during 10 minutes, when suddenly, by somekind of miracle, the reception says that the museum will close very soon, and we'll have no time for everything.... So, let me ask you something. Was it me speaking bad English ? Was the employee speaking bad English ? What's the point of selling a ticket as you know that people will have no time for the complete tour ? Are you scammers ? Because of this, we removed the museum from our to-do list. We also warn people about this place not being 100% honest. If one day, you become 100% honest, maybe we'll come back. Otherwise, good luck with your scam.

Bad experience with the hotel that cooperates with this agency. Bathroom was nasty and moldy the employees started cleaning up the kitchen at 1 a.m. so there was little to no sleep. After the short stay of only two days I addressed my concerns to the agency. They didn't care because I didn't file the complains while being on the stay, after explaining that it's been only two days in which I was busy the whole time and didn't have time to call them and wait for their solution they offered a small discount on my next trip with that agency which I declined. They also got pictures of the bathroom with the hotel name on it, didn't care. Since it wasn't even cheaper than some random Airbnb + entry fee into Disneyland I wouldn't recommend it for anyone. Even being on a budget there's much better solutions, since they don't care about the quality of your trip they offer nothing at all in comparison to other solutions. Never again.

Severly disappointed. Booked for my 46th Birthday (yesterday). After an early miscarriage due to an accident i wasn't able to with my husband and young daughter. All we wanted was a change in Date. C & O Travel wants to force us to buy new tickets. I am with Lufthansa Germany and they were AMAZING. Everything is possible, If you value people over Money.

Never book tickets to Disneyland via this page!!!!! They will make you to pay just by filling information about you!!!Their terms and conditions are on the other internet page, which are completely against you. I have never experienced anything like that before!

You can purchase well priced Disney tickets. Clear overviews which days discounted tickets are available.

Top.

Super service

Assume support.

Best historical center (WWII war museum) I have ever seen. Very complete. Pity the movie theater had no airco, this place was damn hot. Enjoy the pictures I took.

Have seen more museums about WWII. Still this is an interesting one, because of an unknown but important confrontation that happened during the Battle of the Bulge, only 200 meters from the location. There are several personal items to be seen and interesting stories to be heard from soldiers involved in this story. For app. 1,5 - 2 hrs one can spend a good time learning about these events and more, being guided by an audio tour.

A thoughtful put together private museum shining light on a dark part of human history. I'd gladly visit again.

Well laid out museum with some interesting items on show.25 minute video on the half hour about the Malmedy massacre, with the memorial a short 2 minute walk away at the crossroads.

A great historical place! Excellently done technically! One of the best museums of the Second World War I have visited!Very friendly staff and very good souvenir shop and restaurant!My warm recommendation 🙂

Beautiful museum, similar to December 44 in La Gleize. These two museums are really great. Many thanks.

Great museum, a must visit if you're in the area!

Beautiful nature, wonderful shaded forest with clearly marked pathways to walk your dogs. Shaded parking, lovely restaurant. A magical place, lots of wild mushrooms.

We have been there 4 times and each walking route is different. You can easily spend a whole day here. The only negative is the many cyclists.

It's a great location for a walk in nature. Loads of trails and a wonderful view. I'm looking forward to our next visit. As we enjoy the outdoors and nature. This place had what we expected and more. I recommend it for the entire family and friends.

Lovely place to walk , cycle or take trip with horse carriage. Also the restaurant is quite a nice place with good selection. For kids some adventure play equipment.

Extensive hiking and biking. Interesting geology and natural history. Quiet. Remnants of the 1879 railroad (The Iron Rhine, from Antwerp to Mönchengladbach) and the in 1962 aborted coal mine (State Mine Beatrix). Pleasant cafe at entrance (De Boshut), convenient for its facilities.

A very nice (small) National Park to explore. Lots of different landscapes.

Great natural park to have a walk or a ride

Unfortunately as tourists from a foreign country we did know that such services are traditionally nude without segregation between men and women. The staff did not bother to tell us about this even though we had a small child with us, and adressed them in English language to show that we are not locals.

Nice Spa with 7 different sauna's and an outdoor warm swimming pool. The food in the evening was terrible but breakfast was great! Hotel rooms are dated.

Fantastic thermal bath pretty much on the Belgium-German boarder. Super friendly staff and with a family atmosphere. With 7 possible more different saunas. Good and well prepared food. We will be back soon.

I am sure it's a great place, but it is FKK which we avoid. Please be aware, non-German guests!

It's clean and nice location for relaxing and eating. It is proper Therme.

Utter disgusting person had the cheek to look me up and down before telling me there was no rooms .obviously doesn't like the British

This gets better with each visit. We had a splendid, relaxing day.

That’s was a great time! Old France opens for us absolutely from another side! 5 days , with perfect and quiet please , beautiful nature and a very nice couple , that served us perfect breakfast 🔥✅🙏🔥😍 We definitely will come back.

The city itself is already beautiful, but I did not expect I would see this building, and I mean by how full it is inside of artifacts. It maintains enough to give you an impression of how it looked like during its time of use. If I remember well, the tickets were €6, per adult. I enjoyed the little collection they have regarding the textures they used in order to create the clothes. The house in some rooms is tilted and you feel it inside when you walk. Because also the floor is also tilted. It gives you the impression that you are stepping in their house and gives you a little bit of glimpse of how people actually lived back in those days.

The interior is elegantly furnished, showcasing the lifestyle and craftsmanship of the 18th and 19th centuries. It's a charming and informative destination for those interested in history and architecture.

A remarkable museum showcasing the rich textile heritage of one of the region’s earliest industrial cities. Visitors can explore a wide range of historical artifacts related to the development of the textile industry, which once produced high-quality fabrics sold to prominent members of the elite. For those interested in traditional textile production and historical dyeing techniques, this museum offers a fascinating and educational experience.

I highly recommend visiting this museum. It is the house of an industrial family of many generations that produced cloth (textile for clothes) and was very successfully exporting it in various parts of Europe. In the house, you can see several richly decorated rooms, as well as an impressive kitchen and magnificent wooden staircase. The process of cloth production from 18th century is presented as well.

The Red House (which is pink) opens in the morning, you can enter at 9.00 or 10.00 or 11.00 clock, or in the afternoon. Earlier means less busy. It's 5 euro. Has toilet. See how a rich merchant textile-family lived 200 years ago. Very impressive!

17 century town house furnished in contemporary manner. Nice to look around. Worth a look if you are in Monschau

Superb variety of birds of prey and animals you can get close to. A great place for children and adults in a beautiful setting. Secret tip...try the homebrew Honey Beer!

Wow wow must go!!! Unbelievable! For all people 3 months to 120. Good to begin with the “train “ bus, that takes you around all directions to see and know where to go. First thing you have to ask when the birds show starts! Then go back and walk all the way. You can give food to the animals and go inside…. So cool. And be with them all around you. The wild birds are amazing! The “ Bambi “ so nice. You have pigs too and much more. We came with something to eat from home. Take water and good walking shoes.

This small zoo is a wonderful place to discover and interact with some animals and to learn more about them. And as a cherry on top there is also a bird of prey show. Unfortunately the show is in German, but the doesn't make it less spectacular.

Paradise for animal lovers. For 1€ you can buy a small bag of food, but make sure you get enough because there are so many adorable animals you want to feed!

Beautiful! Natural! Pure! I think it's one of the best open game enclosures in Europe. The ideal place for children, grown ups, couples, the elderly, in short for everyone. A huge parking lot outside with a nice cafe at the entrance. The tickets aren't that cheap. It costs 11€ for adults but on the other hand, it's so much worth it. For this amount you get so much in return inside. A magnificent bird show with all the best hunting birds for eg: Falcons, owls, different species of eagles and hawks, etc. You get to interact personally and feed varieties of animals like deers, boars, red deers, donkeys, lynx, sheeps, etc, etc. You can buy animal food at the counter, I think it costs 1€ per packet. It's pure nature inside with beautiful panoramas at places where mountains, river and the skies meet each other. We love this place alot and definitely recommend it to everyone. A MUST!

Quite a large park with many of the animals of the area exposed. The living area's of the wildlife are spacious for most animals. There is also a playground for children. In the park toilets are available and there are some coffee and lunch places around. At the entrance is a large restaurant.

Such a wonderful place! As an animal freak I was in paradise. Animals are well cared for and have a lot of freedom. Baby goats stole the show though! We absolutely recommend visiting. You can spend the whole day walking around and admire birds, bors, deer and whatnots. Best part...you can handfeed them, touch them and enjoy the nature. A must visit when in Eifel.

Excellent place..worth the visit... Had too much fun

Atmosphere is amazing if you play with friends! Three maps are available. Junglecamp, Battlefield, Adventurefield. Its sadly a bit pricey, but definitely worth the fun.

Good paintball arena with 3 areas to choose from. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They got well-maintained equipment and a good play time management system. Ammunition refill can get expensive for a few rounds, but I guess that's what you need to pay for this sport. Otherwise recommended!

Really fun experience and friendly staff!

It was a great experience! I can only recommend it. Had a lot of fun and great service, i will definitely come back

Very good and nice place to have fun with friends, I totally recommend it.

Really friendly staff. The place is well set and the guns are worked properly. Definitely a great experience

Good place to shop for clothing in the City Outlet stores. For coffee, visit Café Erftgold. They have good coffee and lots of cakes.

Bad münstereifel is a beautiful town, full of little shops with great prices. Plenty of lovely restaurants and amazing food, the coffee shops and cakes are out of this world and the atmosphere is amazing.

It's an incredibly enjoyable environment. Among the historical buildings, there are beautiful shops, stylish cafes, happy people, and beautiful nature. The weather is also quite pleasant. The prices in the stores are also quite reasonable. I recommend you visit.

A small city with which one can easily fall in love... the landscape is like a painting and people are nice

Something for everyone. I was there to photograph the art exhibition with the huge Easter eggs. Definitely worth a visit

Despite it being a charming village within fortress walls, the outlet stores in the city diminish the originality and authentic character. The clash between history and shopping experience was a bit too harsh for my taste. It depends on your point of view ofcourse. Nevertheless there are still beautiful buildings to be seen and you can still get a feeling of what it used to be before 'civilisation' marched in.

Lovely small village. Maybe better than Monschau. House build in 1609 from wooden beams !?

Wonderful place when the sun goes down !!

This is probably what Duisburg is well-known for - a nice harbour with great views of the surroundings. If you are in or around this city, it is worthwhile to walk on any bridge that gets you there and spend a bit of time taking pics, vids, etc. the inner harbour can be an amazing sight in the warm summer evenings and sunset pics are quite common and popular in this place. Also good for a stroll along the harbour.

The stadt marina is nice place to visit here in Duisburg. Beautiful view of trees, ships and marine animals like duck and Swan.

A good spot for a walk near the city center.

A friend took me here and I expected something interesting, but it's only some water and boats. Nothing to see. I don't understand the 4.4 star rating for this boring place.

Excellent place for weekend. Breeze and few glimpse of boat which excites foreigners like me who are in the city. Great tourist destination. Places to sit and playing area for children as well. Will love coming every weekend here. Absolutely my kind of place.

A peaceful and relaxing place to spend time. It's cooler by the water and there are many nice restaurants and bars. A very nice place just to walk around with young kids who will enjoy looking at all the boats.

The rental boats are just Great. The owner was super friendly and spoke English. Tye prices war fair (four of us rode one hour and in total paid 20 euros) and the boats were well maintained. Also the lake is very beautiful

Really nice area to walk around and have a picnic or bbq. It hace Lot of places with grass to stay and enjoy the nature. You can walk around the six lakes enjoying the different routes and views. The path is easy to walk it’s quite flat and everyone can do it.

Nice view and peaceful place

Super big and enough parking space/easy to access by public transport. Here is a big walking trail or you can do water sports. My visit was in winter so it was a bit grey but clean and refreshing. You may find little animals like ducks and geese.

Amazing place for running, cycling and walking. combination of the jungle with beautiful lakes make this place memorable.

It's a big territory for marathon walking.

Very beautiful, a great place to relax or take a long walk.

I recently spent a day at Therme Euskirchen, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The complex offers an impressive variety of saunas – from something resembling a hammam to a unique sauna where you can watch koi fish swimming gracefully behind glass, and many others to explore. Each one had its own character and atmosphere, making it a real journey through different wellness traditions. The pools are equally diverse. There’s a swim-up bar with very reasonable prices (and I was delighted to find my favorite banana weizen beer there), a saltwater pool for deep relaxation, and even a smaller pool where calming music plays underwater – a surprisingly magical touch. I felt both refreshed and completely relaxed by the end of the day. A special mention must go to the Amber Orchid restaurant inside the complex. It is truly a fine-dining experience, with excellent cuisine and a refined atmosphere. Our dinner there was a perfect finale to the day. I would particularly like to thank our waiter, Scott K., who provided impeccable service and made us feel genuinely welcome. Overall, Therme Euskirchen is a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking for relaxation, variety, and a touch of luxury – all in one spot.

It would be nice if the website clearly stated that children are not allowed on certain days. That would save people from making a pointless trip. It's understandable that children are not allowed in the sauna. But “Palm Paradise” sounds very tempting to children.

We had a great day at the Therme. Unfortunately, my cousin had an accident on the stairs near the immersive sky experience. The stairs there are a dangerous. They don’t have anti slip protection and that is why my niece slipped and fail. There are other stairs near the thermal pools and that one has slip protection. See pictures.

The four of us had a great day at the Therme Euskirchen. We would like to put special emphasis on the food at the restaurant "Amber Orchid". The food was so good that we went to eat there twice that day. If you happen to visit and went some actual good food instead of the usual, be sure to give it a try. Greetings to Scott from the four musketeers.

I love the therme in Euskirchen. It was my 5th time there. In the week its not too busy. They have a beautiful sauna and a huge garden. My favourite is the koi sauna. For food, swim, sauna und towels you pay a full day 100€.

I was able to see the exact price only after registering on your website. The price turned out to be almost twice as high as the one shown earlier — €76 for two tickets (one adult and one child) for 4 hours of swimming out of season (only the indoor pool). Could you please explain how your pricing is calculated? The price was very high for us, so we couldn’t visit the spa complex. The children were very disappointed.

We had a relaxing experience here. The sauna's were great! Our dinner at Amber Orchid was delicious. Our waiter Scott was amazing..he was very enthousiast and very friendly! This place is highly recommended!!!

Very nice zoo and the 🐬 show made the experience even better. We had a really great time there and I could recommend it even for families with smaller kids because the zoo is not too big so it is convenient for small legs 😅 (our four-year old walked all the way by himself with no complaints). However, overall I have to give "only" four stars because we were not very satisfied with the food possibilities. It's maybe common for Germany generally to have such a food service and options but from our experience from many zoos in different European countries, it was unfortunately the worst.

There quite a lot of variety animals! we can watch them closely name boards towards Dolphinarium is not great, it was difficult to find it and hence we missed the show! - one star minus there are only snack and mini cafe, no proper restaurant inside - which is why one star less parking lots are here and there, come by 11am to make it useful! the pic is the view from inside the zoo towards Autobahn! Close shot of lions! At one corner they have Domestic animals like pigs , rabbits 🐇 etc Candid pics of animals are shot by me with CanonM50

We’ve been to the Duisburg Zoo a few times now, and it’s always a fun experience. There’s a wide variety of animals, including some unique ones like koalas and a wombat. Some parts of the zoo feel a bit dated, but you can clearly see that they are working on renovating several enclosures, which is great to see. The highlight of the zoo is definitely the dolphin show — it’s very well done and always a pleasure to watch. All in all, it’s a nice zoo that we’ll happily visit again!

Quite cool zoo. Positive: nice variety of animals. All are well fed and taken care. Surrounded by a green, natural and beautiful environment. The delfinarium is fun. You could see tigers, gorillas, giraffes, red pandas, elephants and many more. Toilets and restaurants are available. The price is not that bad. Negative: the parking is 1 km away, at least. You have to walk through a path that is next to a highway where cars go fast. It doesn't feel too convenient if you go with kids. The day fee is 5€ and you have to pay in cash at the entrance.

Don’t miss the dolphin show. We enjoyed the visit. However, 500 ml water battle will cost 4.5 euros.

That was awesome. Very huge area. Need 3-4 hours minimum. My advice - take your time, make a plan, have a fun. Don't miss the delphinium show.

Ticket price is 20 Euro per adult including Dolphin Show. Various Animals and birds are available. Dolphin show was awesome. Enjoyed a lot.

This park is absolutely stunning! I have been to a lot of them but this one is a true piece of art! Wherever you look it is fabulous! The rides are super fun and the food is very good. I want to come back as soon as i can.

It's a nice enough place. It's clean, in terms of no visible grime on things, but the air is filthy with cigarette smoke. The rides are long, with queues to match. I found myself exiting rides, feeling nauseous already, only to walk into a wall of toxic smoke making me feel disgusting. The only place you can go to escape it is the queue of another ride, so that's what we did. The food is on the expensive side, but there are cheaper options and we took our own snacks to supplement. Recommend doing this if cost is a concern. A number of rides were closed on our visit but the ones we did go on were good, well managed, no technical difficulties. We didn't check our small bags and they were fine to be stored while we went on most rides. Agree that the shuttle bus feels like a scam. €5 for a return trip when you have to wait 30 min for it feels excessive. I tried it, I didn't vomit, I probably wouldn't return.

Great experience, amazing times. We did spend whole day over there. Waiting time for ride was reasonable. Place was clean, staff friendly and travel from Cologne was good. I would be back for sure.

I love visiting theme park and I was intrigued by Phantasialand for a while but I was hesitant because this park has mostly thrill rides and I'm really not into it. However my Husband's is a huge fan of thrill rides so stopped for a day. I was positively surprised by the beauty of the park. The decor are really amazing and well made. I loved the vintage Germany area and the fantasy land. But everything was really gorgeous! It's immersive, well maintained and magical. My favorite ride was Maus au Chocolat which was fun and the decor were really nice. Also Geisterishka even though it's quite outdated now, I liked it. The carousel and the monorail were also pleasant. But as someone who is not into thrill rides I can sometimes be a bit bored. Thankfully the park is nice to walk around, have a sit to relax or watch a show. It was enough for a day however and I couldn't have stayed more unfortunately. I hope that in the future, more dark rides will come as it's something that's really missing here. Other than that, for the quality and the price I can't complain. This is one of the best park in Europe and I wonder why it's not more known. The park is beautiful, they care for details and they maintained it very well compare to other (more popular) parks in Europe. I will definitely come back again if I visit the area.

People are smoking all over the place. This part was a huge dissapointment. The Uhrwerk restaurant employees didnt speak English which should be a basic requirement for anyone working there. We ended up in the China parking where the spaces between the two rows were very very narrow. The whole parking should be re-planned. Overall, it is a nice park, nothing stands out in terms of extreme. It is a nice family park with family friendly attractions. The app is rubbish and the developers seems to be stupid for missing basic things like different languages…!? The price is too high for what you get. Better to go to Toverland or Efteling for cheaper, better, more organised and overall better value for your money.

Phantasialand is by far the best theme park I’ve ever visited! 🎢 The park offers world-class rides like Taron (my personal #1 coaster) and F.L.Y., both surrounded by incredible theming that completely immerses you in each area. Every detail feels thought out and alive. And don’t skip the food — it’s genuinely fantastic and way above average for a theme park!

One of the best parks I've ever been to! We've visited multiple times over the years and the quality has remained fantastic year after year. The food is great and not over priced, the park is clean and well maintained and the staff are friendly. Entrance fees can vary, but if you time it right,you can get great deals.

Utterly breathtaking and awe inspiring Cathedral. Immensely beautiful, clean and free to enter. Excellent support service in the Information centre. Many lovely older worlde cafes nearby.Toilets outside the Cathedral are clean and well maintained.

The Cologne Cathedral is absolutely amazing and breathtaking! Its enormous size and stunning Gothic architecture make it one of the most impressive landmarks I’ve ever visited. Even though it’s often crowded, everything feels well organized, and the atmosphere remains peaceful and respectful. It’s also right next to the Hauptbahnhof (main train station), so it’s very easy to reach — perfect for a quick stop or a longer visit. The gift shop is lovely, with nice souvenirs and books about the cathedral’s history. I especially recommend visiting on rainy days — the interior feels even more magical and calming, with the sound of rain outside and the light coming through the stained glass windows. Truly a must-see spot in Cologne!

During our Rhine River Cruise, we came here to see this great piece of Gothic architecture. We came with our guide. Since they are not allowed inside, we saw it ourselves. It took more than 600 years to complete this magnificent Church. It was declared World Heritage Site in 1996. It is most visited landmark in Germany. More than 6 million tourist visit every year. It is the third tallest Church in the world. This medieval Church is continuously renovated. It is very beautiful from inside. The stained window glasses and other piece of art and paintings are magnificent. It's open from 10 to 5 from Monday to Saturday and 1 to 4 on Sundays. Minimum one hour is required to see it properly. The trolley bags and other big bags are not allowed inside.

An absolutely breathtaking masterpiece, one of the most awe-inspiring buildings you’ll ever see. Standing before it, you can truly feel the weight of centuries, the devotion, and the artistry that went into every single stone. The towering spires seem to touch the sky, and when the sunlight hits the stained glass windows, the entire interior glows with color and quiet power. It’s not just a cathedral - it’s a symbol of human perseverance, faith, and creativity. Construction began in the 13th century and took more than 600 years to complete, yet the vision never faded. Every detail, from the delicate sculptures to the massive arches, tells a story of patience and belief that beauty is worth waiting for.

Its foundation was laid in the 13th century and it was only completed in the 19th century; it rises in the very heart of the city as one of the most impressive examples of Gothic architecture. Both the details on the exterior and the historic, tranquil atmosphere you feel once you step inside are truly mesmerizing. Just walking around in the silence, with light filtering through the stained glass and the ceilings soaring above you, is an experience in itself. It’s a landmark that’s become synonymous with Cologne and, in my opinion, a truly magnificent place that you definitely shouldn’t miss.

We came for the Christmas markets but were wowed by this cathedral. Absolutely stunning. It is free, which is amazing!!! We walked right in. We did pay €20 for the whole family to go up the south tower. We did not buy these ahead. It was a little tight up the stairs. 535 of them. We saw the bells and they rang when we were by them, which was cool.

One of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever seen. Cologne Cathedral isn’t just a building — it dominates the city. The closer you stand, the more unreal it feels: every detail, every shadow, every tower looks carved with impossible precision. Inside, the atmosphere drops into silence instantly. It’s calm, powerful, almost overwhelming in the best way. If you’re in Cologne, this is the one place you absolutely can’t skip. Truly unforgettable.

Love how this central station is extremely close to the famous Cologne Cathedral. You get out of the station and voila, the main landmark is there. I went around a little bit and it's quite dirty and smells urine and all other unpleasant ones. Otherwise, I was just happy at how convenient it was located to my main destination, which is the cathedral.

I love that you can see Koln Cathedral as soon as you step out of the train station. And that you're right in the heart of old town, an easy walk to restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions. There were a few coin operated rides in the train station to keep my little boy happy while we waited. I believe there were also local cafes but I just had Starbucks this time.

Nice & huge Place, it's have all service and restaurants. Possibility of traveling to most parts of Germany, beautiful views of the famous Cologne Cathedral, and easy access to tourist attractions (river, cable car, museums, shops, old town, etc.)

The train station is okay and is located well but… Why is there ONE BATHROOM?? The queue was so long and I just needed to go :( there are also a lot of druggies and strange people around the station and a lot of drunks.

One of the most beautiful Central Stations (if not the best) in Nordrhein-Westfalen. From there you have multiple possibilities with the tram, S-Bahn or subway. You can also take a walk around to see the old city. The cathedral in front of it is a MUST SEE!

Köln Hauptbahnhof is easily one of Europe's most visually stunning railway stations, thanks to its breathtaking location right next to the magnificent Kölner Dom, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The direct proximity creates a dramatic and mesmerizing view as you exit, where the modern travel hub is dwarfed by the towering spires of the Gothic Cathedral. This central location makes it the perfect gateway, not only serving as a crucial junction for high-speed ICE and international trains to Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam, but also providing immediate access to the River Rhine, the famous "love lock" covered Hohenzollern Bridge, and Cologne's historic Old Town.

A great place to arrive and depart. This station is located in the middle of everything. There is the famous Cathedral, history, a museum and lots of shopping areas with restaurants. A short walk & you can walk beside the River or across the bridge .

The ticket is just 5 euros and you go up 28 floors pretty fast. It’s just 10-15 mins walk, across the bridge. And totally worth it. Could be windy there so carry a jacket.

Fantastic 360° view of Cologne. Very cheaply priced and is open all throughout the day. Highly recommend coming here if walking up the 500+ steps to the top of Cologne Cathedral's South Tower just isn't for you.

Highly recommended! Open until 10 PM in the summer (Friday and Saturday). If you go from 9 PM until closing, you'll see it both in the morning/sunset and in the evening. This is also plenty of time, since there's no bar or other seating.

If you’re in Cologne and wanna catch the best city views, KölnTriangle is the spot for that. This place gives you a 360-degree panoramic view of the city, and trust me, it looks absolutely stunning, especially at night. The Cologne Cathedral shines like a gem, and the Rhein River just adds to the magic. It’s a chill place to just soak in the skyline and snap some killer photos. Go in the evening when the city lights up it’s a whole vibe ..! (: Ticket cost 5€

View point which gives the classic panorama of cologne including the cathedral, the rhine river and the hohenzollernbrücke bridge. Is it worth going up for 8 euro? Probably not but what else are you going to do in cologne?

This is a great alternative option to see the city from high or having to climb the steps of the cathedral bell tower. There was no queue when we arrived, 5euros for a ticket, get on the lift to the 28th floor and your free to roam around the top. Great views and really sheltered from the weather with super high glass barriers. It's a great place to get away from the noise of the city. They do not allow suitcases but were fine with rucksacks. Great value and 100% must visit.

Great views! Easy to get the photos you want of the city.

The 165th anniversary of Cologne Zoo is celebrated with evergreen content: dinosaurs. But also with a Panini sticker album. So, if you want to give your children a treat, buy the Dino kombi ticket with the sticker album. Do so online to jump the queue on site. I highly recommend to also book the Dino VR experience in advance - it is a ten minute visual aid (in coop with local VR hero TimeRide) and adds to the animatronics dinos scattered throughout the park. Otherwise, the 14 dinos add a nice distraction to the regular inhabitants of the lovely zoo. Some are animated, others really huge. One of the oldest zoos of Germany sports some nice attractions but also undergoes some considerable refurbishments. Some areas are closed off, others are currently under construction (giraffe house). But some historic buildings (old elephant house) surely add to the flavor. We paid €98 for two adults and 2 kids. So plan to bring your healthy snacks and drinks with you, otherwise better top up your Amex ;)

Although zoos are not my favorite place to travel, this zoo surprised me. Animal rights were relatively respected and different and rare animals were collected in this zoo. I saw the Iranian cheetah, an endangered animal, for the first time in this zoo. It was a completely different experience from the zoos I had seen in Asia and Europe. I had it here.

An incredibly expansive and intricate zoo, with an insane amount of different areas and habitats to visit. Definitely reserve at least a few hours to complete a full loop of the zoo! I've never seen so many of certain animals before, namely the meerkats. Gate staff are also super friendly and speak English which makes it easy.

Have been there again after a long time, it seems most animals kept well,they have more space now and look ok. Only the see through pool of the hippopotamus had an eco problem and was very cloudy,which was why they weren't fed for the public. The ant eater looked bored and moved repetitive. I liked the space of the cheetah which looked very natural. Entrance is expansive,but if you buy tickets online you get a daily free ticket for public transport

The Cologne Zoo is very small. The elephant house and fake dinosaurs take up most of the space. The zoo is a dreary, bleak, and absolutely ugly place, captivating depressed animals. It's truly awful, giving an abandoned desolated and apocalyptic area. Anyone who doesn't feel pity for them probably won't feel anything else either. Every enclosure is super tiny. A lot of animals were also not there. The tropical house was closed, as well as every snack bars except one.. on a weekend.

Amazing place...a beautifully laid out zoo with so many wonderful birds and mammals to see and learn about

The Cologne Zoo was Fascinating and I had a remarkable time looking at and watching all the different types of animals. One exception is that they could zone the animal regions so you know what animals are where based on their location they are found. My father in law, Gary enjoyed watching the penguins and the seals jump and dive into the water, Gary said “looks fun to be one”. We both had an amazing time in the Dino VR which tells you how the dinosaurs went extinct and how they lived before. It’s fascinating and a must see, the food selection could be better but overall a great zoo experience. One of the better ones i’ve seen!!🙌

Be prepared. If you don't speak German you might find it to be pretty dull. The tour is guided and the guide only spoke in German and offered no English at all. He did speak English but he didn't like to be interrupted. So I didn't ask. There isn't a huge amount to look at but it is all about the story and the context. So if you cannot understand what is being said then it does make the tour rather like standing in a chilly tunnel. I believe all the facts and figures and information was very interesting judging by the reaction of the German speakers on the tour. None of the reading material or signs have any English translations. So I came away knowing no more than when I arrived other than when it was built (I think). None of this is intended as a criticism. It is in Germany and I don't speak German. But you just need to know what to expect.

A piece of important history everyone should see. Be prepared that it is only possible to visit in groups, and the tickets are 15eur pp, plus 2,5 eur photo surcharge if you wish to rake photos. It's a bit sad that tge tours are only in German.

Great tour! Truly a trip through both history and a future we have luckily avoided so far. Great tourguide, great rooms that displayed what life was like. Definitely worth the long trip!

Excellent tour and visit, you are only allowed in groups with a guide. When we went we were the only English people so had to go in a German group. So I didn't get most of the info, but read lots before the tour started which helped out. Great photo opportunities and really makes you appreciate what it was like in the cold war. Only a fraction of the tunnels now exist, but what remains is very well preserved.

Interesting, and really good rainy day alternative. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and professional. Dystopian part of history… but somewhat relevant to today. I can only recommend

Very interesting piece of cold war history. Tours are extensive and very informative, however in German only unless you book a group tour. You "only" get to see a 230m stretch of the 17km bunker but it's quite more extensive than it may seem. Tours last about 90 minutes and explain the history, technical details, as well as the life in the bunker. You can drive a few km down the road and also see the sealed former main entrances.

Great museum with even better and knowledgeable staff. If you wanna learn something about the cold war craziness visit it.

They have touring sheets in English. The exhibit is laid out well and marked clearly with descriptions of each room. The employees were very nice as well!

Not really amaizing but a beautiful blick on an old Germany (Germania).

Excellent presentation of a super interesting remnant from the Romans. Highly recommend.

Incredible to be able to see a Roman villa. It is nicely laid out and in parts you can even walk inside the ruins.

Not a lot to see. I expected more. In other Roman excavations I have visited there were impressive mosaics, but none here. The shop mannequins dressed up as Romans were frankly laughable.

Bigger than I expected, it cool that you can walk through the ruins (on stairs and platforms) very informative (german and english). We spend about an hour here. If you're around, worth a vistit for sure!

It's a bit difficult to find parking, especially if there's a school on a field trip. The museum with their excavations as well as the exhibited reproductions and explanations is well worth the trip. The staff is very friendly.

A wet and windy autumn day...The main building is not open to the public but the grounds and tropical garden are free. Both are pleasant, even in autumn, when all the plants are going to sleep. The adjacent cafe had good coffee and cake.

Beautiful Schloss! (Only spend time visiting the garden and was only able to admire the outside). Currently the front side is being refurbished and scaffolding is in place, however views from the botanical gardens are stunning!

Historic place surrounded by botanical gardens. A must-visit spot in Bonn

Not sure if one can visit the castle but the garden is a real beauty and given there is no entrance fee, it is a really nice deal.with the fountains, picnic areas, benches and little ponds

Very big , nice park with ponds and glasshouses with lots of vegetation, must see if you like botanical stuff. Free entry and toilets.

No tickets, free. Many thousand plant on the world can find here, close soon before 4.pm

It was under renovation, which killed the whole vibe of showing the palace. Still, it was nice to enjoy a walk through the garden (which is free) since it’s late March and it’s starting to bloom

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.
