Nice view of the city, worth a few euros (6 per person) for entrance. The elevator gets you up in no time!

A great place to take a look at Jena from above. Take the elevator to the 26the floor and change there for another one taking you to the 29th floor where you will find the observation platform and a very good restaurant.

Great view from the tower, worth taking time day and night! Plus, this is possibly the only spot in Jena where you don't see the tower... worth appreciation indeed 😃 Be ready for wind, it's much stronger than at the foot of the tower. Take an extra jacket.

We had a spectacular dinner in the JenTower. An elevator takes you to floor 27 and from there another elevator takes you to floor 29. The view is very nice. The food is modern and visually appealing. The quality can be described as good. The design inside is very modern, but unfortunately a little dark. A good place for a relaxing evening with friends.

Jena Tower costs €6 and is a must for anyone visiting Jena. Elevators take you up to the 27th floor in a matter of seconds and then the observation deck is on the 28th floor (another lift). The views from the top of the tower are simply spectacular with observation points around the whole tower. Remember a coat and hat! It is quite windy up there. Would be useful to have metal plaques at the top to point out landmarks, as the paper version just flew around all over the place!

Tallest skyscraper in Eastern Germany (I assume outside of Berlin). Went to the viewing platform on the 28th floor which gives views of the entire city and valley. Great to have it, especially in summer with everything so green. 6 eur to visit. No dogs. No wait.

Built in 1970, JenTower is in the list of the tallest buildings in Germany. It is always in sight when you roam around Jena. You can take an elevator and go up for 6€. The view is amazing, seeing all sides of the city. Additionally, you have chance to have a breakfast or meal there at the Tower. Personally, prices are moderate.

It was a lovely experience but given the high price, you would expect that other people would practice a certain etiquette that’s expected. Five people during the 45-minute show were talking loudly and the person behind us was snoring. I think the staff should make sure that these (very basic) guidelines should be followed and respected.

It was a great presentation on Aurora, and some space explanations, I appreciate it being in the beautiful upscale city of Jena.

Watched a special short-movie screening about microbes around us. Loved the dome effect and surround sound as well. A cool science place to go for fun learning.

The show itself was very good. If they'd remove the spider webs in front of the digital projectors, the images would be more crisp. The lady conducting the show is an unfriendly dragon. She invites you to ask questions at the beginning of the show which she will "gladly" answer, but in reality she is annoyed and grumpy. Asked about the difference between their planetarium and the peanut-shaped ones she just disses you because you don't know the difference between small and big domes. Asked whether their planetarium can display shifts in constellations over the millennia, rather than explaining that cosmic timescales are much larger, she just says nothing happens in 10.000 years and it's no problem for their device. Not helpful if you are interested in the technology and otherwise have no idea of cosmology. In summary, great show but bad service.

The Planetarium is essentially a huge dome-shaped cinema, but an amazing one at that. The oldest planetarium in the world, its dome reaches 14m providing a spectacular opportunity to see the world from every angle. Programmes are split into different categories - educational, family and music, which enables a wider variety of visitors to experience the planetarium cinema. There is a small exhibition around the outside of the cinema and a very small shop selling lots of space-themed merchandise as well as coffee whilst you wait. There is a restaurant on site, however the planetarium could do with a wider exhibition space to enable people to learn more about the technology used and the history of the planetarium.

The show was very interesting. (In German only) During the Covid times they really care about your safety. You need to book tickets in advance, and a few seats are left empty between the groups of visitors. The selection of the buffet could be improved.

I went to see “Space Tour” and it felt like staring at Windows’ screensavers for an hour. There were very few and poor explanations written (they don’t even bother to have someone talking), some of the images didn’t even have anything to do with space (like fireworks or random explosions). There was no storyline and very little science. Very disappointing considering it’s the oldest planetarium in the world.

Arche Nebra exhibition about the discovery of the 'Himmelsscheibe' or Sky Disc. Has recently been updated and upgraded. Family ticket €23 - 2 adults and 2 children (7 / 8). Spent about 2 hours here including VR experience and planetarium. Audio guides available for the main exhibition, but since a recent upgrade to the planetarium, not available in other languages, so would wait until they have sorted this out if your first language is not German. Check on the website or contact in advance to find out. Some interactive elements for children. Would be good to have a craft area to make the sky disc. Would be good to have a treasure hunt for younger children. Happy to support this if required. There was a colouring book on a table downstairs, but it was not yet available for purchase. The children's book was a bit difficult language-wise and the simple language book more for adults. This is a great place to visit and when the language guides are fully up and running for the planetarium part, then can recommend for all visitors from around the world. It is a bit out of the way, but easily located with a free car park at the foot of the hill. Disabled people and those with low mobility can be driven to the entrance. Only steps are down into the planetarium seating area, but possibly enough space for a wheelchair to remain at the back. Lift to toilets and all floors. Cafe closed Mondays and Fridays.

nice place too visit good walking an 🚵‍♀️

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

Expensive, small, bad organized, only in german. There are so much interesting about the sky-disk - and this museum does not tell anything. And long walk from parking to location.

Very interesting exhibition. Building and location, as well as the story behind the sky disc are really amazing. For English explanations you can get headphones. Descriptions in other languages would be better though.

Small by very nice. Nice environment and it’s good for a small trip.

Love it.

Mega

Best ever

First class.

Most relaxed sauna I have found in Germany.

Genial! FKK all day long :)

I love it

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

Beautiful place to see. Take some time there is quite a bit to explore. Try some singing at the crypt. The sound is amazing.

A masterpiece. A breathtaking example of Romanesque architecture with treasures of gothic sculptures in it. A must visit place. My favourite cathedral in all of Germany.

Felt like i went to gallery. So many details.. its like hide and seek. I could stay whole day in here. Very inspiring. Please go also the little garden. Its so peaceful.

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

Probably one of Germanys gem!! The world's oldest Organ is definitely a sight and sound to be enjoyed. Architecture is just amazing!!

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

Museum about the prehistory of the region. The main focus is the Nebra solar disk. But it has a lot of other very interesting prehistoric pieces. If you are in Halle (Saale) Go visit this museum.

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

The museum is very modern with great atmosphere, exhibits and stories. The price is small. The panels are mostly in English for mid sized displays, with some English for overview info only.

Such an interesting and well-curated exhibition - you can spend several hours here. The only negative was that several staff members were rather unfriendly, especially in the Café and gift shop.

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

We been thrilled by this beautiful museum and the way how history and science is presented! This is one of the top museums and I can highly recommend to take some time and enjoy. We been there for 6h and easily could stay for 2 more.

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

A must see when you are around in Halle with kids. Easy to reach by tram directly from the main station. (3 stops only) We found the concept awesome! This is the oldest chocolate factory in Germany with very impressive history and flair. You can even taste different sorts of pralines. The factory store is great and staff is very friendly. Ideally to buy some gifts😀. Highly recommended and anytime again.

Great museum for both children and adults. Delicious chocolate and reasonable price

This factory is located about 20 minutes away from the train station in Halle (by foot). The shop is big and offers good prices and products you can't always find in supermarkets.

Chocolate for factory price, I'm in! Big discount on pralines, especially the bags of 500g, about 5€ for 500g instead of 10€! Really nice service, put our products in our bags for us :)

Nice museum. Reasonable prices. Warm welcome.

An interesting place to visit. I liked the chocolate museum but think it might benefit from becoming a bit more interactive. Being able to look at the sweet stuff being produced rocks. The factory outlet is great as well.

Great museums with a chocolate room, and it is possible to see how the chocolate is produced. The store offers a lot of chocolate products extremely low price

I suggest to not to go half asleep,but I loved It haha

It was fun and more difficult than expected.

Mega cool 😊

Cool

(Translated by Google) We spent a fun and exciting afternoon here, searching for five stamps to conquer the labyrinths. Highly recommended. The final stamp was a real pain, and we kept running into the same visitors who were also looking for it until we finally got it. The staff was very friendly, and parking is available in front of the building. We were there for a total of two hours. (Original) Wir haben einen lustigen und spannenden Nachmittag hier verbracht. Auf der Suche nach 5 Stempeln, um die Labyrinthe zu bezwingen. Wirklich empfehlenswert. Der letzte Stempel hat uns so manchen Nerv geraubt, und wir sind ständig den selben Besuchern, die ebenso auf der Suche waren, über den Weg gelaufen, bis wir ihn endlich hatten. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, parken ist vor dem Gebäude möglich. Insgesamt waren wir 2h dort.

(Translated by Google) It's a bit dated, though. The four themed labyrinths, some of which are dark, are interesting, and we laughed a lot. It's great fun for children. Some of the outdoor play equipment doesn't work properly. EC cards aren't accepted. (Original) Zwar bereits etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Die 4 Themenlabyrinthe, teilweise im dunkeln zu erkunden ist interessant und wir haben viel gelacht. Für Kinder ist es ein großer Spaß. Die Spielgefährten im Außenbereich funktionieren teilweise nicht richtig. EC Karte wird nicht akzeptiert.

Beautiful church with stained glass windows. We had the pleasure of attending a musical showcase with the Thomanerchor Leipzig. This was such an amazing experience. When visiting remember to also look up at the domed roof and admire the small intricate designs.

Bach's church where he worked and lived, and is buried. This is a must-see If you are in Leipzig. The interior is beautiful with stained glass and various carvings and ornamentation. The church and connected buildings are very large. I saw a couple school groups here.

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

I visited this church in March, 2025. I was deeply moved to visit this church, so rich in history and positive energy. Moreover, I felt the timelessness of Bach’s notes resonating throughout the space. It was truly thrilling! 💖

Beautiful church with excellent comprehensive guide in English. Don't miss the Bach artefacts in the small room on the right of the main entrance. Interesting stained glass and contemporary Bach organ. For those following Martin Luther, there's a window of him with Frederick the Wise and Melanchthon.

st. thomas church (thomaskirche) in leipzig is famous for its music. it's where j.s. bach worked for 27 years and is buried. it's also home to the legendary st. thomas boys choir (thomanerchor) – try to catch their weekly performances (motets) if you can. it's a beautiful, historic church and a must-see for any music fan in leipzig

If you have interest in the history of J.S Bach & view his final resting place, Leipzig is the city you must visit. Visited the church on a weekday, not too crowded which makes it pleasant to walk around. Beautiful church with Cathedral glass design with J.S Bach & Mendelssohn.

This Is the most amazing zoo I've ever been to. It's so big with the kids. We could only see a portion of it, but the jungle experience especially with the boat ride was so cool. All of the exhibits are wonderful. I would highly recommend to anyone to visit the zoo. Easily one of the best zoos in the world.

Beautiful zoo with a rich variety of animals and habitats! Especially Gondwanaland was amazing giving you the feeling of actually being in the jungle!( don’t forget to get on the little boat trip, super cheap and worth the experience). Love, Greece!!!🇬🇷❤️

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

Best zoo in Germany especially with huge greenhouse of tropical forest and self moving boats along river with warm climate. Highly recommended for both adults and children alike

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

Zoo Leipzig is a great place to visit with kids. The grounds are very clean with almost no smell, and there are nice play and climbing facilities for children. A fun and family-friendly zoo experience!

This zoo is arguably the best in Europe. The animals have the freedom to roam, creating a more natural environment, and plenty of dining options are available. Don’t miss the chance to watch the monkeys and explore Gondwanaland. It's truly a fantastic spot for some quality time with your children.

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

This church is deeply intertwined with history, offering a unique glimpse into the past. A must-visit for anyone interested in architecture and cultural heritage!

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

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

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

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

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

Biggest train stations in Europe lots of stores and restaurants to choose from that are mostly all good plus a lot of railways definitely a place to visit for tourists from Germany or other countries.

Good street food restaurants ,a nice place to pause in between travels !

The largest in Europe.. 😍 Best train station I have been! 👌 With multiple railways and connecting Trips to offer.. A Subway can also be found in this big trainstation... And no worry for having a long connecting Trips, a mall is also within the Station. Various Restaurants and Shops available..

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

This station is very big, but it is really easy to find the way. Electronic devices such as ticket machines, th e screens are well thought and useful

Super convenient, many shops. The architecture is very impressive too. At the same time, it's noisy, it's crowded. Well, it's a railway station after all.

Beautiful Christmas decorations inside of the building, which adds up to the uniqueness of the historical building.

At the entrance, a welcoming entrance with an airy crypt with heating. On the first floor there was a film that explains the entire history from the origins in the early 1800s to the present day. Viewing is recommended. Then you climb up to the first internal cornice, which is very overhanging. You then climb to the upper floors, and then you reach the first external cornice located under the feet of the statues that can be seen from outside. You can take the elevator up to that level. From there, you climb to the highest part of the building with a very narrow but well-made stone staircase. A visit is recommended to better understand the history of the city. Full adult ticket price €12

A stunning monument that witnessed through its history empires, kingdoms and republics coming and going…. A must see by everyone who loves history! Fabulous views to the city as well as relaxing beautiful park!

Great experience with a rich history. I chose a non audio self tour and would highly recommend this. It's a place of reflection and would rather go undisturbed. The staircase to the top is steep though. Just so you know 😉

If you had only one thing to do in Leipzig, please visit this place. This monument is the tallest in all of Europe and it commemorates the war that broke Napoleon. No tickets required

This intense and impressive monument is a MUST SEE if you are in Leipzig. The scale is stunning and is reminiscent of the Mines of Moria in Lord of the Rings. There are multiple lifts but if you want to get to the top viewing area, you have to use the stairs and it is a little walk. No bad, but most people emerged a little winded and sweaty. The sweeping views of Leipzig are great and, if you go on a sunny day, you can see many miles/kilometers in every direction. Highly recommended.

A really impressive monument. It really makes you feel the enormity of the event being memorialized much like the World War I monument in Kansas City. There was a feeling of heaviness about the monument and it made me feel retrospective. A very nice visit. A stroll through the cemetery nextdoor is also warranted.

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

The houses look great from the outside, but are a disappointment inside. A little film made when one of the houses was first built, showing all the modern devices in the home showed what the houses could look like inside. Is money the prob lem, or do the foundation believe. It's better to show empty rooms?

I wrote a 1000 pages Bauhaus Book after visiting such an amazing creative site … imagine seven of world’s most creative minds live with their families in one place as neighbors. The energy is there since 1926 … it is still giving its creative power to the visitors since a hundred years … thanks to the company and the authorities that helped in rebuilding this world heritage Mecca … Amr Helmy

I came here just after sunrise, more for the light than with an interest to see the inside. These houses are stunning for their time, so influential...

A magnificent monument of modernism. If you haven't been, I definitely recommend it. All the Bauhaus-related exhibitions are worth seeing.

I would fully recommend doing a tour, you learn so much more than you would going around on your own and you are still free to wonder around yourself afterwards. It’s a super inspiring and story rich place to visit. Would recommend to anyone even remotely interested in design and modernism.

Really great experience for people who loves art, architecture and history….Inspiring place where a world changing idea came true!!Must visit!

The master house has been rebuilt by the berlin based studio Bruno Fioretti Marques in a contemporary way: volume and windows has been restored with new materials like light concrete and milky glass. Inside you will find a permanent installation of Olaf Nicolai with shades of white in the wall and temporary pieces of other artists. You can also see small models of the houses.

A Masterpiece of Vision: A Review of the Bauhaus Dessau My recent visit to the Bauhaus building in Dessau, Germany, was more than just a tour; it was a journey into a living monument of architectural and educational history. The experience profoundly illustrated the singular vision of one man, Walter Gropius, who, against incredible odds, brought the modern art and design movement to life. It is nothing short of astonishing to consider how he single-handedly managed to fund, design, and create the entire institutional framework, all while navigating the tumultuous political landscape between the two world wars. The moment you step into the building, you are immediately struck by its revolutionary design. The famous staircase, the sun-drenched workshops, and the seamless integration of various functions speak to Gropius's genius. I was particularly moved by visiting his personal office, located in the bridge connecting the two main buildings. This space, a hub of creativity and leadership, felt like the very heart of the movement. Seeing the workshops where masters and students collaborated, and the student hostel where they lived and breathed art, brought the curriculum to life. The building is a manifesto in itself, a physical embodiment of Gropius’s belief in the unity of art and technology. The self-sufficiency of the institution is a testament to Gropius's strategic mind. He devised a curriculum that drew students from around the world, creating a vibrant, international community. He hand-picked a legendary faculty, including Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, and created a marketing machine to attract global talent. This was all done while facing immense political pressure and shifting ideologies, which ultimately led to the school's closure. Despite these challenges, Gropius’s unwavering commitment ensured that the Bauhaus's influence would endure. The tour is incredibly well-curated, and I highly recommend taking it to truly appreciate the scale of this achievement. The theater, the student cafeteria, and even the gift shop—which is filled with beautiful designs—all contribute to an experience that is both educational and deeply inspiring. For anyone with an interest in art, architecture, or history, the Bauhaus Dessau is a must-see. It's a powerful reminder that with clear vision and relentless determination, one person can shape the course of history.

Amazing! This place was a world leader and is symbollic and of the modern movement in architecture and design in Europe in the 1900s. Celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. It has been restored, true to the original design after being closed by the racist regime of the 1930s. Well worth the visit for architects and designers.

Must-see for those interested in modernism and architecture as a whole. You can roam a part of the building freely. However, all classrooms and the entire student flats block are sadly inaccessible for visitors (except if you book a night in a flat!). The shop has a great selection of souvenirs. The workers were warm and friendly.

The ticket for Bauhaus+Museum+Master's Houses is 27€ and it's completely worth it. The place is amazing, and the temporary exhibitions are always really good. Will visit again!

This is a simply fabulous historic building. Once the home of the revolutionary Bauhaus School and designed by Walter Gropius it stands as a memorial to an innovative school that only survived from 1919-1933 but had a huge impact on architecture and design across the whole world.

This place, showcasing the architecture and arts of legends, can inspire you for years. Revisiting this historical place that changed the world evokes an amazing feeling.

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

Beautiful and historical place. Great exebition and the view from the tower is amazing. Just 295 steps and you're there!

A beautiful church, and the resting place of Martin Luther. Very interesting to see the doors where Luther nailed the 95 theses and set the reformation in motion.

What a cool piece of history. It was good to walk and see where Protestant history was made. It was also a surprise to us at how cool the town is! You can definitely spend the day going into shops and eating at restaurants.

This is the church where Martin Luther placed his 95 theses on the doors of the church that started the reformation.

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

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

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

Among the Martin Luther and Reformation related art and artifacts is this memorial to those local soldiers killed in the First World War. Apart from the language no different to those in a thousand British churches. Reminds us that it's ordinary citizens who always do the dying in a war.

You need to come in advance to get some good seats while big holidays like Christmas.

One of the famous painting places by Lucas Cranach the Elder who Martin Luther’s close friend.

Beautiful church with simple but high quality adornments. The baptismal font of Martin Luther is here.

Such an AMAZING church. The history represented here is inspirational. Don't forget to check out Sunday services too!

Love it. Lots of history and spirit. A spiritual pilgrimage every Christian should make if you can afford to.

It’s beautiful 😍

The main Lutherhaus is currently temporarily closed but we could visit the absorbing exhibition Literally Luther (Buchstäblich Luther). It gave lots of insight into Luther the person rather than as church reformer. The attached photos are from the exhibition as seen in May 2025.

Unfortunately the house-part was closed because of renovation!!:((( ( In Germany they renovate a lot of things in the high season!!!!) But there was another exhibition in the other part of the ex-monastery. The building is amazing and the exhibition is very interesting. I got a lot of new information about the group who worked with Luther they made me imagine how they translated the Bible. I can recommend if you are in Wittenberg!

Indeed a historic place. One can witness churche which is over 1000 years old.The markt place is captivating.Martin Luther's house also offers a great view. Moreover, one can have a nice walk along the streets.

Highly recommended! Make it your first stop when visiting Lutherstadt Wittenberg so you can get a clear picture of the importance of this city and it’s history. Interesting, interactive and easy to navigate.

A very important stop while visit Wittenberg! Located at the beginning of the main street of the historical area, Lutherhaus will transport you in time to experience what people at that time use in their daily lives. Also, this museum has a largr collection of Luther's writings and pictures. The house also tries to portray and explain the living conditions of that period. The house, plus Luther's sayings as well as the whole collection of objects will give you a better understanding of the life of one of the important figures of the reformation. Highly recommend. Single ticket 8 €, combined ticket 10 € (Luther House + Melanchthon House )

Closed for Reno but one can still walk into the courtyard and they've put up a comical history of Martin Luther's marriage.

Really informative museum of Luther’s life and religious legacy. You can find the house after walking through this large stone gate - picture added. The museum itself chronologically outlines major milestones in Luther’s “career”, you could say. It is astounding to see what one person’s courage could do for an entire religion.

The worst massage ever. Both for me and my friend. It wasn't a massage at all. My mother does better. We asked for a strong massage but we just got a stroke for 69 euros each. Never ever. Veeeery disappointing. And we said several times that we want a strong massage both to the girl at the reception and to the lady who was executed massage. Waste of money.

Really really nice. Clean and warm. The water music room is very relaxing. The staff at the eating place (cafe/restaurant) inside the water area were very friendly. The grounds are also lovely. Great place for children and adults. There is one bigger pool in the middle (it is not a swimming pool) and around it there are two smaller even warmer baths/pools. There are various jacuzzi-like places with air bubbled through the water and the air seems to be warm (unlike some other places I experienced where they use cold air which is unpleasant). There is small very shallow pool good for really small children. Plenty of places to sit or lie down. And there is one outside warm and salty pool, with nice loungers around it. We were there for 5 happy hours from 11:30am until 16:30 on a Saturday and it was not at all crowded.

I love that place and highly recommend the sauna area!! One of a kind . Nice, hot and divers .

Came to use the pool area. Very nice and relaxing atmosphere, with multiple pools of varying temperatures. Definitely enjoyed the salt water pool, with the music and changing lights. Came here in February, our trip in May and will be back on our next holiday!

We liked it a lot. Especially the high density salt pool. Also I had the feeling that it is very family friendly which is a good thing. Definitely going to return

This is my favourite Spa in Germany and I look forward to my visits every time I travel to Berlin 3 or 4 times per year!

Not an "american" style spa --- more of an aquatic club with some spa amenities. Too many children to be a relaxing spa. The Bad is just a giant (and I mean giant) pool ... which is neat - but not spa like.

My review is more for the help I received at the store. I visited yesterday and my bad that I forgot to ask his name but the salesman there helped me so so much! He was very patient, kind and helpful. He actively listened to my requirements and went to the storage to check if there are any last sizes available which are not even displayed in the store. And I was happy to come home with a very comfortable pair!!

Great deals going on with extra 30% off reduced prices already! Also, huge selection of shoes with prices ranging From €35+ for men’s selection and €25+ for women’s collection. The store is big and staff are respectful and helpful, you’ll definitely be coming back for more. Happy holidays everyone

Nice clothing and shoes store.

Good prices and friendly staff. Thank you Ms Jessica for the top service!

Adidas has really great prices and the all mall is beautiful and clean

Good collection with good discounts.there is three outlets which are for commen kids and one for shoes.worthy to visit

Not that good... Doesn't have to much to pick from . And the deals are not that much of a difference from the normal price. Would not recommend it

It's a fantastic place for families and children. There are plenty of activities, delicious food, and local products. I recommend purchasing tickets online, whether daily or yearly, so your kids can experience and explore every playground multiple times without extra charges. You need the whole day to check everything, it's a vast place.

We had a wonderful day at Karl’s Erlebnis-Dorf Berlin! It’s a perfect place for families, my kids absolutely loved the playgrounds, the tractor ride, and of course the strawberry-themed shops and sweets. Everything is very well organized, clean, and full of fun activities. The staff were friendly and helpful, and there are many nice spots to relax with coffee or snacks. The homemade jams and candies are delicious, and we couldn’t leave without buying some souvenirs. Definitely recommend spending a full day here great memories for both kids and adults!

It’s a nice place to take a break from the city Important to highlight that it’s an amusement park really adapted for children You can enter for free and pay for the rides you wanna go to (only 1 is adrenaline-filled for adults 😅) - that’s what I recommend There are a lot of restaurants there, all really good I recommend the Döner, but mostly the Strawberry Waffles 🧇 So so delicious

Great place to visit with the whole family. Lots of entertainment options and food. Reasonable prices considering that it's an amusement park. For example: Bier costs 3 Euros, döner that you can share 9 Euros, snacks between 3 and 10 Euros. We came on a Sunday morning and it was quite empty so we could go to the games without many queues. Definitely worth getting the Tageskarte to get access to all the games plus 3% discount in the shop.

The place is wonderful, but the outdoor rides close as early as 7 PM, while the shop stays open until 8 PM sharp. It’s better not to come on a weekend — there are too many people and the waiting time is quite long

Oh, what a cutesy strawberry-themed park! Lots of reasons to spend a full day out. It's especially engaging and entertaining for the kids. The rides are not too adrenaline-rushing for adults but surely bring a smile. The venue is spread out, offers cafes and eateries comprising Erdbeer Döners, burgers & fries, coffee and pancakes, apart from ice-creams, jams, marmalades etc. Some rides had long waiting times and when the turn finally came, the ride lasted for just 2 mins. The ice scultptures in the Ice Welt were mesmerizing and fairy-tale like. Overall, you won't regret spending your day out at Elstal with your cherished ones 🍓🐻. They also have a special pass offering yearly membership (multiple visits).

I really recommend to try strawberry döner as well as home made chips. Very creative decorations. We had a blast there.

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

Pretty nice overall though a bit too crowded for my taste. Probably best to avoid Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends. Wide range of saunas but nothing too special. The food is hit or miss. The pasta dishes are terrible but the pizza was tasty and not too expensive.

Awesome in winter. First suggestions: - Needs more infusion sessions. (At least 2 saunas at the same time. Especially in winter.) Pros: - Huge variety and huge pools are really awesome. - Really big facility. - Safe environment.

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

The staff was super polite, the pools had joyful temperatures and sufficient sun loungers available. The restaurant offers a very good selection of light meals and a rich salad bar. We're looking forward to visiting the Wohlfühlterme again soon.

We visited this place today. We travelled quite a long way to get here. It's a really great place to relax, no reason to regret it. We did not encounter any situations where the issue of nudity was not respected by other visitors. On Monday, we expected less traffic, but we were quite surprised. There were really a lot of people already at 10 a.m. I hope that rules here will be maintained and won't change. We'll definitely be back.

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

Visited September 2025. A beautiful old Church in the heart city centre. There is a lot of history with this building being bombed during WWII and the broken spire. This historical building is in the middle of an upscale neighborhood and stands out. It is right near the zoological garden train stops, so if you are in the area, make sure to stop by and see it.

Even though this church is a bombed out ruin (from WWII) it still maintains a measure of beauty. Definitely worth a stop when you find yourself in the area. Short walk to plenty of restaurants and shopping areas of Berlin and also not too far from the zoo.

A beautifully preserved church, modified with some modern elements, stands as a testament to resilience. It’s a poignant reminder of the devastation wrought by World War II, showcasing the church’s enduring spirit. The church’s meticulous preservation allows visitors to witness the damage and glimpse its pre-war glory. Interactive displays weave a compelling narrative, recounting the church’s history from its inception to its current state. While it’s disheartening to see such a magnificent structure destroyed, it serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences of war and the urgent need to avoid repeating such mistakes.

We didn't have time to walk along Kirfurstendamm but did want to see the leftovers of this church. Dedicated in 1895 it was heavily damaged in WWll, the tower is all that's left. So as not to spoil your visit I will only include a couple of interior photos. The sad parts are the atrocious new church hall and bell tower built either side. Free entry, you will only need 20-30 minutes for this. For coffee and cake go to Einstein Kaffee near the main station.

It’s amazing you should visit them! It’s 2 different places. The new church is in front of the old one. The new one has live music which offers a unique experience! The entrance is free for both.

From a place of worship and prayer, it is now a place of remembrance and contemplation. The temple stands there, half-ruined but imposing, reminding us on the one hand of the devastating consequences of war, but on the other hand of the power of humanity. The new temple built opposite is also impressive!

We visited the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in September 2025. From the outside it looked impressive even more so when you consider it was bombed during the Second World War. Once inside the ceiling is so a joy to behold. The church was a bit crowded for our visit but I found my location to admire the ceiling. Glad we visited this historic place.

Very interesting, however not every animal was actually there to see. Some species of monkeys were not present. But monkeys are monkeys I guess. The cutest were the Pandas. The coolest was walking inside the cage where they kept some vultures and Owls. The nearly extinct sumatra tiger is the most interesting for me because fewer than 400 of them remain. I recommend you buy the tickets online on their website!

Berlin Zoo is a great day activity for families with kids. The place is beautiful, stroller friendly, with in door and outdoor displays. The stars of the show were the Pandas and the Penguin enclosure. Our toddlers also enjoyed watching the seals play in the waters.

I had an amazing time visiting the Berlin Zoo. It’s one of the most impressive and well-organized zoos I’ve ever been to. The variety of animals is outstanding — from giant pandas and big cats to exotic birds and unique species you rarely see elsewhere. Each enclosure is spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed to resemble the animals’ natural habitats. The zoo is also beautifully landscaped, making it a pleasure to walk around. There are plenty of shaded paths, resting areas, and great spots for families with children. The staff are friendly and always ready to share interesting facts about the animals. Overall, the Berlin Zoo offers a wonderful experience for visitors of all ages. It’s educational, entertaining, and truly memorable. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Berlin!

This is the best zoo I’ve seen so far. Exploring it takes at least 4–5 hours. And if you’re planning to visit the aquarium as well, it will take almost a full day. Make sure not to leave without seeing the pandas.

My spouse and I recently visited Berlin Zoo, and while we really enjoyed seeing animals whose populations are declining worldwide—and animals that we, as humans, normally wouldn’t have the chance to see in their natural habitats—there were several things that left us disappointed. A large number of the birds were kept indoors and out of sight due to the cold weather, which is completely understandable, but still unfortunate for visitors. The reptiles and invertebrates section, which is one of the three main parts of the aquarium, was entirely closed because of renovations. Besides that, several other large areas of the zoo were also closed and inaccessible for the same reason. Despite all this, and without clear prior information, we paid nearly 70 euros for two people on a weekday, which left us quite upset. I strongly believe that by paying this amount, we deserved to experience the entire park—otherwise, the ticket price should have been lower.

The zoo was beautiful, very well designed, and we really loved it. Even though it was raining, it was still super comfortable, with plenty of impressive indoor areas. Highly recommended!

The most beautiful Zoo that my husband and I have visited. 🥰 It's really huge. 😁 You need to reserve a whole day for the excursion. Unfortunately, we didn't have that time. 😓 Because this Zoo has really beautiful enclosures for the animals. The animals are in the best condition. They are really happy. 😌😍 The workers takes very good care of the entire Zoo. We liked everything here. 😍 Unfortunately, we're sorry that we didn't see everything. However, the price for admission is good and acceptable.👍😊

This was definitely on my must see locations during my visit to Berlin being a huge U2 fan. The column is fantastic and the roundabout it is set in can only be accessed by underground walk way. Please note the admission fee (€4.50 for an adult) can only be paid in cash no cards accepted. Small museum available on bottom floor before the many steps to the top of the column spectacular views from the top!

This was an excellent visit. You gain access via an underpass. The column is magnificent to see and study, great details. There is an entrance fee and I bought a guide book so I could be informed better. It is a spiral staircase getting narrower at the top. It is something like 270 steps to the top but there are seats for a rest. Once up the top you get a fantastic view even on a grey day. I found the story that this column was moved from it's original location quite incredible. It also survived the wars which is amazing. Well worth a visit just take your time climbing and have a rest if you need one.

Really amazing. I can absolutely recommend it for tourists and non-tourist as I was able to bring my boyfriend who lives here to come visit even he was pleasantly surprised by the view and were showing me a different parts of the city. We came a little before sunset which was just luck. We did not plan it and we’re pretty impressed by the little museum that was at the bottom.

Great views on a blue sky day in autumn. 4.50 euro entry fee. Worth the climb but small space at the top as you'd expect

Berlin Victory Column – “Goldelse” The golden angel of Berlin, built to honor Prussia’s victories and the spirit of endurance. Power, pride, and echoes of history — all in one place. History doesn’t whisper here — it stands tall

The column costs €4.50 to climb to the top of. It's cash only. The staircase is something like 285 steps, but there are regular landings and small benches on the way up. There are also some informational exhibits on the ground floor. The column is in the middle of a large roundabout. Use the access tunnels to get to it.

Today they were only taking cash so we could not go inside and up the tower. I'm not sure if this is always the case or not, the website did not mention it. It is a beautiful sight from the base and the street from very far away. It is easy to get to.

We’ve visited Germendorf Park several times, and each visit has been a real pleasure. One of the absolute highlights is the beautiful, friendly deer (“bambis”), which are especially gorgeous in spring after they’ve shed their winter coats. The park is easy to reach from Berlin — it takes around 35 minutes by car, and the parking fee is only €2. The entrance and on-site prices are very reasonable and much more affordable compared to many other parks. Overall, it’s a great place to spend a relaxed day in nature with family or friends. Definitely worth a visit

Great park with a ton of things to do for kids, and not just dinosaurs. Our daughter loved the whole vibe. It's pretty close to Berlin if you travel in a car. Get an online ticket if you want to skip the long queues.

A beautiful experience. The park is for all kids not just Dino lovers. They have other animals in there too. And the deers are free ranging, you can pet them and feed them from the Vanding Machine. Imbiss, Clean Toilet and Playground is also available. Overall 5stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s a very good place to visit with kids. The park has different areas where kids can see nicely made life-like dinosaur replicas, a small zoo and farm animals. It also has different play areas for kids and a lake. Prices for food and rides are quite reasonable (not really expensive). Overall a very family-friendly park. You can spend between 3-4 hours, or longer if you wish, walking around.

We visited while visiting family in Berlin. The park is huge and such a fun way to spend the day. You could spend a whole day here without the kids getting bored. There’s the Dino park, which is very large. Petting zoos with roaming deer, options to swim when the weather is nice, many different food options and much more we didn’t get to see.

Great price at entrance and parking. Good theme park! It’s a large park with different entertainments. There are animals you get to pat and feed. A cafe with a lot of toys. Small trains and cars. It costs something little like 50 cents or 1 euro. The entrance is quite good price at 6 euro. Parking costs 1 only. Food there is not expensive at all, quite fair price. Tastes pretty OK. We enjoyed a lot and will definitely visit again. Highly recommended!

Great experience for the family and kids. Very affordable, even though you have to pay for everything inside with coins (restrooms, food, drinks, attractions, binoculars, volcano etc). Nonetheless to be able to get up and close to the animals and attractions is awesome. The kids love it. Wish the dinosaur park itself has more trees or shady areas as when we were there, the sun was shining down hot and there was almost nowhere to go and avoid the sunshine. The statues are lovely with great details, prices for food and drinks are affordable. There are also small ponds where the kids can jump in and cool down. We will be back as our son had so much fun and there was still plenty to see.

The space is incredible. We sar behind the traditional orchestra seating. I don't believe any seat would be awful. We were amazed!

Iconic concert hall designed by Hans Scharoun (1893-1972). Even though opened already in 1963, it still looks modern. The hall has superb acoustics as I witnessed tonight in a concert by the Busan Philharmonic as part of the Musik Fest Berlin. And great views of the stage from all seats which are arranged like vineyards around the stage.

A must do pilgrimage for music fans! This place needs to be appreciated in the context of its time in the 60s when such architecture would have been radical. The acoustics is amazing even when I was sitting high up on block D, I could hear every single note plus the sound of the violin bow’s vibrato as if it’s right next to my ears. Lucky to get tickets for this series of sold out concerts by Simon Rattle. The souvenir store was compact, selling CDs and even vinyls. They have water bottles , key rings, bags T shirts…. Etc. I bought tickets online and then downloaded the eticket into my Apple wallet.

The Berlin Philharmonie is one of the city’s true cultural gems. Designed by Hans Scharoun, its unique tent-like shape and golden façade make it stand out as an icon of modern architecture. The staff are friendly and professional, and the foyer has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Drinks and snacks during intermissions are a nice touch. Accessibility is generally good, though a few areas could be easier to navigate for people with mobility challenges. I went there for a free concert during the lunch time. That was a outstanding experience. Easily reachable by public transport, and the concert programs are always worldclass. Absolutely worth visiting.

During the lunch concert at the Berliner Philharmonie on October 15, 2025, my wife and I experienced disrespectful and unequal treatment from two staff members. At the entrance, one staff member intentionally handed my wife the concert leaflet only after four other guests who arrived later. After the concert ended, while I was quietly waiting near a column in the lobby to meet my wife, another staff member kept watching me and said things like “Why are you here?” and “You should leave.” During the regular concert on the next day (October 16), none of this behavior occurred, so I believe it was an individual attitude problem rather than a general policy of the Philharmonie. The concert and the music were excellent, but this kind of behavior did not reflect the dignity and reputation of the Berliner Philharmonie. I hope the management will review this matter carefully to ensure equal respect and hospitality toward all guests.

Nice place, good sound reverberation and isolation. Properly organised seats so you can see everything even with tall people sitting in front of you. Friendly stuff. Conditioning!! I went there when it was 33 degrees outside and the place felt like a magic.

Stunning concert venue, with exquisite performance (Janáček, Bartók & Stravinsky last night). Probably worth the guided tour as well if you have the time.

A shopping passage, (hands-on)-art gallery, the Upside Down Museum and much much more can be found here. Great place to spend some unplanned time. Indoor and outdoor.

Very well organized. You can walk around and you will find malls and other food studios. This is a square and you don’t need tickets for anything

Fun spot with a lot going on. There are plenty of shopping options and places to eat. And easy to get to with the subway system and a lot of options to head to other areas from there.

We had a great time visiting the Berlin Wall exhibit near Bahnhof Potsdamer Platz. It was a powerful and educational experience, especially sharing it with the kids. Seeing the actual remnants of the Wall sparked some meaningful conversations about history, freedom, and unity. The displays around the site are very informative, with photos and facts that helped us understand the significance of this area during the Cold War. We learned how Potsdamer Platz was once a desolate “no-man’s land” and is now a vibrant part of the city — such a striking transformation! It’s a quick stop, but packed with history. A great way to introduce kids to this important piece of the past while enjoying all the excitement Berlin has to offer nearby. Highly recommend!

Iconic land mark with exhibits of the old Berlin Wall, large transport station for many lines, also close to Berlin mall and many restaurants.

Following reunification, the area was redeveloped into a premier urban quarter featuring shopping, dining, cinemas, offices, and green spaces designed by architects including Renzo Piano. Interesting architecture mixed with various arts 🤩

Nice modern place. You can pay for view on Berlin from the top of one the buildings.
