Great experience, but the guide tour was only in German and the recordings were much sporter than the guides speaches which made the kids a bit unrested since none of us understood anything that was being said. What was really good was the Fairy garden above the 'grotten'. Recommend big time!

A wonderful spot to visit in Thüringen. Well maintained and presented. The museum also does a great job in giving the details about the work of miners of the old times. Highly recommended!!

Worth a visit once. For those nerds, who're interested in history and mining science, please do go. Everything is very well preserved from the past and it's quite amidst the nature as well. One thing to note: For those who don't understand Deutsch/German, you might need to translate everything. The government must promote this place as it's got lots of history and every information should be made available in English too.

Saalfeld Feengrotten on Halloween was something magical. The Adams Family theme added an extra layer of charm to the already fascinating caves. From intricate decorations to well-thought-out details, the ambiance was perfect for the occasion. The staff's commitment to the theme and their enthusiastic engagement with visitors enhanced the overall experience. The pumpkin arrangements throughout the venue were not only visually appealing but also showcased a creative touch that added to the festive spirit. The guided tour was informative, providing insights into the geological wonders of the caves while maintaining a spooky and entertaining atmosphere. The attention to detail in every aspect of the Halloween setup demonstrated the dedication of the organizers. It was a memorable experience, making my visit to Saalfeld Feengrotten on Halloween truly special.

An amazing tourist spot to visit in Thuringia. The tour inside the cave was fantastic (although you'll need German to understand) but it was very amazing 😍 you can also taste the water coming from the cave.

The Feenweltchen is good made. From the entrance door (after scanned your ticket), the entrance house will give you feeling that you are entering fairy world 🙂. The first stop, you can get Face or Body painting by the Fairy. Then from there you can explore the Fairy World. Totally recommend for toddler and bigger kids.

This was a great place for the kids to visit, but the grottos and their stalactite formations weren't as impressive as other cave systems I have seen. In all, there are 3 or 4 small caves with fairly small stalactite and stalacmite formations located in a disused slate mine. What it lacks in spelunking wonders, it makes up in entertainment for the kids. The underground tour was informative, but is only conducted in German. An audio tour headset is available for other languages. The fairy adventure park consumed another hour or so, but will likely suit kids to about 7 or so only. Not bad, but not sure the considerable drive was worth it.

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

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

It's good place to enjoy nature in Weimar. Cool, calm, peaceful and a place where you can be stress free.

Relaxing environment. Well maintained.

A big park with small river running along the side with just a few mins walk to city Center. Beautiful and peaceful with interesting spots to check out. Should be even more beautiful and refreshing in Sommer. We love it there.

It was a very nice park. There are statues and different structures in every corner. I liked to have a really long walk around the river Ilm.

Nice park to relax or walk/cycle. Nothing spectaculair about it but it is pretty. Not very clean on some places and doesn't look very maintained.

A beautifully restored and maintained library representing the decadence and thirst for knowledge of years past. It’s a great location and not too far away from the main shopping district in the old city. Entry is for a fee of roughly €10 per person and kids are free. You will be required to wear clumsy feeling slippers over your shoes to protect the old floorboards. There are set times when tours take place so maybe check the website before going. The library itself is a wonderful display of craftsmanship and eloquence. There are also many side attractions apart from the main room. The building also plays host to some travelling exhibitions and is also located above the more modern city library. There are small gifts available and plenty informative displays. I wouldn’t recommend small kids as they may get bored and make a lot of noise.

You have to buy tickets weeks in advance online if you plan to visit. We bought ours about a month in advance since the number of visitors per day is very limited. The visit itself was very disappointing. For the price of 8 euro per person you can only enter the Rococo library which turned out to be very very small. Everything is fenced and you can not go anywhere except walk a few steps further on the main aisle. Upper floor and all other side aisles are not accessible! There is no information regarding the library to read on spot! If you want to learn something, you have to have the Weimar tourist app pre installed on your phone and have headphones. The most ridiculous thing of all was the huge slippers we were given prior to entering. They are all one size (probably size 47-48) and women and kids with smaller feet have a big chance of tripping and falling down. This is absolutely ridiculous for the price of 8 euro! I do not recommend a visit! If you have 8 euro to spare, I recommend a visit to the Neues Weimar Museum instead which is much more interesting.

High entry price for such a small amount of time to be spent there. Also everything is only in German. You don’t see anything more than the main pictures. You can’t go upstairs either. I wouldn’t recommend unless you are a big bibliophile Tickets are timed. I got lucky and got in on the next round since I was solo

The library is worth visiting due to its historical significance and excellent maintenance. However, the front desk receptionist was quite cold and somewhat rude, which was disappointing. It would be great if they could be friendlier, considering it's a public place with many international visitors.While I understand language limitations, it's challenging when the staff doesn't speak English and is reluctant to communicate. In a tourist spot, especially a UNESCO heritage site, having bilingual staff would be beneficial. A warm and welcoming demeanor would also make a big difference.

If you like books, art, history and knowledge this place will enchant you. Yes it is small, yes you can’t visit many rooms, yes the libraries in Dublin and Coimbra are more beautiful, yes €8 can seem a lot, still, it is a place of historical importance and if you allow that fact to sink in (Goethe and Schiller both stood there, where you will stand) you’ll be as touched as I was.

If you are a student in Jena or Weimar don’t miss out on this gem. Use your Thoska card to register and take out books. Not only is it a gorgeous study space, but they have a huge selection of English books too. I do a lot of research on line, however this library has books available that were not available the Thulb in Jena.

The room is really beautiful, it's worth seing once in my opinion. Because of the system to buy a ticket for a 30 minutes slot, I thought the amount of people visiting at once would be limited. It was actually very packed so couldn't move around as freely as I would have wished (on a sunday around 11-12h) The employees were all friendly. Maybe a visit is more pleasant during the week days.

It was great experience. For a moment one can feel the style and routine of old time

Interesting place from history. Very big and give many interesting information inside. In 2026 , they will close for the renovation so when you have a chance. Try it :) ticket costs 13 Euro in 2025

The Goethe museum costs pp € 13 pp. The Wohnung was to us the most interesting part. The other part of the museum contains many objects owned by Goethe among which several portraits. That part of the museum is definitely interesting but also has a somewhat hagiographic nature.

I really enjoyed this experience, especially having the app to lead you through the house was amazing. Genius to have it play when you hold your phone up to your ear! Also, the backyard was extremely beautiful and it really made you feel like you walked in the same house as Goethe, it was beautiful.

Goethe's House, or Goethes Wohnhaus, is a captivating museum that offers an in-depth look into the life of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The museum provides comprehensive insights into Goethe's personal and professional life, with well-curated exhibits that include original manuscripts, personal belongings, and detailed descriptions of his contributions to literature and science. The historical ambiance of the house, combined with the extensive information provided, makes it an enriching experience for visitors. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in German literature and the life of one of its most influential figures.

Very interesting life and he had a big house with many different rooms with specific purposes. Take the audioguide for sure, which is included in the ticket price. 1:30 to 3:00 to complete it depending how fast you go.

Amazing insights into the life of Goethe. Such a beautiful and inspiring space. Well presented and updated with video installations and the incredible wealth of the attached museum.

Great experience with all the background information, but especially at the entrance area unprofessional staff.

Magnificent piece of art and a good display putting it into context. But it is difficult to understand the museum displays if you do not speak English and you don't know much about the Reformation and the German Peasants' War. The audio guide is useful for understanding the painting. To a certain extent though it felt like the town is embarrassed by this Museum and sees it as a relic of the GDR they would rather not have. ButI do encourage you to visit and celebrate the struggles of the past for freedom and a world without exploitation and oppression. La Lutte Continua, as they say.

Super intetesting place. Even more so if you do a little research about the whole project beforehand. Entrance fee is 8€ per adulte. I took a guided tour for 1€ extra. It wasn't bad but a little boring. Definitely worth seeing for the scale of the painting alone

A unique experience that's definitely unlike the multitude of cathedrals and old towns in the region. The long-version audioguide is 1h 15min is outstanding and is a must to receive the full experience. While created mostly in the 1980s, it has nothing to do with the DDR philosophy, though the painting is full of symbolism and meaning. A pair of binoculars would be helpful if you happen to have it with you. Allow enough time for the visit - at least 1.5 hours.

If you’re an art purist then this is possibly not the place for you ... but for anyone else it’s worth making a significant detour to visit this stunning panorama. The “purist” question is why a mid 20th century painter should produce a work rather reminiscent of, say, Bruegel. Yet the work is extremely well executed, with a mass of detail in each of the several scenes that make up its enormous 14m high circle, with a circumference of 123 metres. The English language audio guide is excellent and adds greatly to enjoying the work - we opted for the shorter version, which we felt gave a good level of detail. The painting is also a fascinating piece of social history, having been commissioned by the East German Government, to present the Peasants’ War as part of the glorious legacy of their people ... yet the painting does nothing to glorify the struggle of the “Peasants”, and is full of religious imagery that would normally have been an anathema to the Government ... you have to wonder just how happy the sponsors were with the results of their commission. The museum restaurant is good (of its type!). Interestingly, its menu features some typical DDR dishes, although these are not highlighted as such. When visiting the museum, make sure you also go into Bad Frankenhausen to see the church with the (steeply!) leaning steeple. If visiting by public transport, especially in the winter season, there are several more buses on weekdays than at the weekend. Also, note that some of the advertised buses run only if requested by phone two hours in advance! However, “normal” services run to and from Artern station. If arriving by bus walk up to the “crooked church” and then either follow the road to the museum car park, or the footpath that goes more directly up the hill. In places the footpath is quite steep and not made up, but it is an attractive walk.

Very interesting museum, worlds largest panorama painting. The location may be somewhat weird and far away from other sites. Nevertheless it's worth the journey if you like art. It's really impressive. Although it's created during DDR adminidtrstion the artist himself calls it a "Christian painting". Take the audiotour, it's worth every penny (EUR 1,-).

amazing psychedelic painting - the audio tour is 30mins and give a broad overview. the museum is huge but was nearly empty when we visited

Amazing how they managed to build this beautiful bridge with the shops and apartments so many years ago before there was any modern machinery! The fact that it is still standing after all these decades is a marvel! I loved the whole experience!

Very lovely views and lots of unique history here. Definitely worth a visit.

Really cool that one can be walking down the street without even realizing being on the Merchant's bridge. Definitely take a moment to walk outside and see the bridge then walk back through - really cool. There are a lot of little plazas around to stop and relax with a lot of little ice cream shops within a small area.

The Krämerbrücke in Erfurt is the longest bridge in Europe that is completely covered with inhabited buildings. It spans the Gera River and connects Benediktsplatz with Wenigemarkt in the heart of the old town. Small shops, galleries, and artisan workshops line the bridge, giving it a charming medieval atmosphere. It is one of Erfurt’s most famous landmarks and a popular spot for both locals and visitors.

Its okay. It is a bridge with houses build above it. Maybe it was special to many people but for me its simple

Interesting sure to see with old houses on a bridge.. lots of coffee and ice cream shops around.

Beautiful fotostopp wirh lots of unique shops

Beautiful cathedral and heard an organ and choir sing for Bachfest

What more interesting is no entrance fee. Peaceful and the architecture is truly beautiful

Absolutely amazing architecture really beautiful cathedral. Only disappointing thing is wasn’t able to view the inside but that is because I arrived in the evening although the view of the cathedral at night is also spectacular and even from the outside truly worth a visit very nice.

This cathedral is massive and must have really intimidated people back in the day. I've never seen anything like it, though someone told me there's another large one in another German city. This cathedral dominates this small city. Pictures don't capture the humongous size; you have to see it in-person to get the full effect. It communicates power. The inside is beautiful, and in one area people pray and reflect, making it a peaceful place to visit.

This church has so many architectural details from the outside and from inside as well. The construction is huge and is a landmark for the city of Erfurt. It could be worth visiting once, however I noticed that they were closing the gates going to the inside yard of the church in the evening.

Amazing cathedral, very much worth the trek up the stairs. When I visited I was also lucky enough to experience a choir sing in there as well. Was magical!

Erfurt Cathedral of St. Mary is an impressive Gothic church that towers above the Domplatz. Its history dates back to the 8th century, with the current structure mainly built in the 14th and 15th centuries. The cathedral is especially famous for the Gloriosa, the largest free-swinging medieval bell in the world. Inside, visitors are captivated by vibrant stained glass windows, ornate altars, and the magnificent Romanesque crypt.

Schloss Friedenstein is a very large castle but one only gets to see a small portion of it. The castle has seen better days and needs some serious renovation. However, what you do get to see is worth going for. Several rooms have beautiful decor and furnishing. The entrance fee is also very reasonable. There is a restaurant on the castle ground but it was unfortunately closed when we were there.

This place is like a time machine. The moment you enter you feel like you're back to the baroque era. The mesum presents an amazing and unique history of the city.

Has some interesting exhibitions and is overall an enjoyable experience. We liked the availability of full audio guide support and the huge funny slippers you had to wear on the main floor.

Lovely place to visit and there's a lot more to see than I thought (wasn't my main point of visit actually) so I spent longer time than I allocated. Worth a visit. Buy tickets at the Museum Shop before going upstairs to the museum.

An old palace where you can see a lot of Gothas History. A museum is there too.

This place is work of art 🫠 Must visit place 💯 Employees are very kind and nice🥰 Highly recommend 🌟

Beautifully restored castle with three different museums integrated into it. The entrance fee covers the castle, museums and visiting the theater that is also part of the castle, as well as the 'Herzogliches Museum' across the street. The staff is friendly and helpful and will cheerfully share stories and history of the castle itself and it's various inhabitants. The place is a treasure trove of exhibits and history affine kids will love it. Plan to spend at least three hours to cover all that can be seen. During our stay there was a little snack bar in the castle yard that served delicious cakes.

The sharks are beautiful! Small center, very high quality exhibit on the first floor, Crocodiles and Alligators on the second floor! But the Sharks, it's worth spending two hours there!

Great place for a family trip. Wheelchair friendly and enough room so it does not feel overcrowded at any point

we went with 2 little kids there and is was the right choice! Amazing collection and the kids where amazed by all the different animals. If you look for a aquarium to experience the wildlife go there. compared to the Meeresmuseum in Stralsund this aquarium is way better.

A nice place to visit, a specially for kids, so many crocodiles too and so many big Koi fishes awesome!, the restaurant also nice meals there, and a playground for kids to play.

Have you ever dive in an open air?! So here’s the place!

We really enjoyed visiting this aquarium, especially the sharks. Perfect way to spend quality time with family.

Definitely worth to visit! A lot to see, and of course the big shark tank was the highlight!👍

It's OK but nothing that will wow you. Depending on what you have seen before, you will enjoy it more or less. The Cristals are nice to see but in general it feels like being in a big warehouse...

We did enjoy the Marienglashöhle Cave, but we didn't really think it was anything spectacular. It was a nice couple of hours and quite interesting. But I wouldn't suggest going here if you come from far away.

Ideal for kids and adults with a lot of history.

45 minute tour,lovely mini waterfall in first cave,white crystals in another,stunning when lights on, dim but effective lighting.

Nice visit to some of the many mines in the area. This one became famous for the mining of lime crytals - also used in the nearby Wartburg. The guide is very professional and has nice anecdotes of the time this mine was active. The nearby restaurant offers a good break afterwards (or before...)

Very short tour, but very interesting. Guide was very friendly, and finished up sitting in the beer garden

Cave was closed, but we had nice beer and some nice snicl. Service was good!

Loved this place. It's very magical in fall when the leaves change color but don't let that deter you from going in the summer. Been there three times already and I'm so going again. also don't forget to check out the museum where you buy the tickets. P.S. the restaurant outside, near the entrance has a cool robot server.

It's a nice location for coming down a bit in busy times....even if it's not to full there. If it is full, than it's a bit crowded because of the limited space at the canopy walkway. But from there you have a great view into the bright green of the treetops or - depending of the level, where you're walking - across the nice surrounding. Even for children it's very interesting there, especially because of the exhibitions at the entrance where everybody will find something new to learn. But keep care to reach there near to the last time for entrance! They are very strict and even cheat a bit. So at the entrance pay desk they send you just before closing time through the forest to the entrance gate for the canopy walkway and if you reach there, they tell you it's to late....and no discussion helps, even if you came from far away.

Lovely place to go and explore nature in the Hainich. It's very well maintained, the restaurant is great and the playground awesome for kids. Also really close to the Wildkatzen Dorf.

Very cool day trip. We went on a cool spring day and took the bus from Bad Lagensalza, it was very easy and right next to the train station. The forest and walkways were unique and the view on top of the "lighthouse" was great. We appreciated the English translations. Don't let your kids get too close of a look at the very detailed diorama in the lighthouse- we took a closer look and had some fun noticing the more raunchy figures and situations.

Very nice and interesting place to visit; set in the beautiful forest Hainich. Informative and well maintained visitor center (entrance fee) and the path through the tree tops is great!

A nice experience and an interesting nature center for children, but at €11 it felt pricey compared to other tree walkways I’ve been to in Germany (Cloef and Beelitz, in particular).

Great structure, very informative. Would recommend especially for children. The ticket costs 11 euros for adults, with option for family tickets for 30 euros. There is also a Museum in the park centre. Two or three options of trails to do by walking. Some can be long, but the views are beautiful in a small part of the way.

Food was okay at the event. Acustics of the place is rather bad, as when too many people are inside it is similar to being in a small bar with lots of people being loud. Service was nice, everyone was helpful.

Good food and nice place

You may think the cappuccino is good here…but it’s coffee machine cappuccino. No barista no taste. Disappointed.

Lovely terrace with in and outside seating (Orangerie!) with a view into the Park. Friendly staff, moderate prices. Perfect ambiance in the Fulda parks

Beautiful location, stroppy waiter, decent hot chocolate, beer not to our taste. Lovely place to sit on a sunny day.

Waiters were a bit sluggish the vibe was chilled

This place used to be a lot better

The park is absolutely beautiful, the best place to have long walks or jogging. It's more beautiful during the sunset and sunrise and also the ideal for stargazing.

It’s a massive park, that you can do plenty of things. It’s really good place to read a book or have a good time.

Beautiful park in Kassel. Take your time to visit, it’s worth it. People normally rush to the Hercules and ignore this beautiful part

Nice place to walk around. Also good to go with kids.

A large, maintained green space in the heart of Kassel was a welcome respite from the crowds in the public squares. Enjoy the peaceful trails, water ways, and swimming birds throughout. There are lots of places for picnic lunches and benches for seating.

What a beautiful park, great for a stroll or just sitting on the grass. There is a restaurant in the orangerie building and a playground close to the water.

Only a few banks to sit on, so most of the people sit on the ground, still it's really big and looks great with all the flowers plus the - let's call them a little abnormal - trees in the middle of the park.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Very nice spot, calm and easy

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

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

The scenery is really good. A good spot for relaxation

Awesome place to chill with park area.

beautiful place to be specially in summer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One of the most iconic shopping centers in Frankfurt, MyZeil stands out with its futuristic architecture and impressive glass façade. Inside, visitors can find a wide range of international and local brands, restaurants, and a panoramic escalator that adds to the unique experience. A must-visit for shopping lovers and architecture enthusiasts alike.

Very modern mall in the heart of Frankfurt , loved the location and the fact that it is connected to my hotel and the other shopping streets I enjoy in the city … fun shops, movie theater, restaurants and great architecture

It gets extremely crowded on Saturdays, so I definitely do not recommend going then. Inside, there are no popular brands like H&M, Zara, or Mango. The restroom costs 50 cents but is large and clean. There are plenty of food options available, though.

MyZeil is an amazing shopping center right in the heart of Frankfurt. The architecture is modern and impressive, with a stunning glass facade and an incredible spiral escalator. There’s a great variety of shops, from international brands to local boutiques, as well as plenty of restaurants and cafés to take a break. Everything is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. It’s definitely one of the best places for shopping and spending time in the city!

This mall is great, they have a glass water flowing shape, overall it’s very beautiful.

Casual, clean and beautiful! There are also high, medium and low price options, the brand image is very good, a very good choice! The Frankfurt football team store is also here!

This Myzeil shopping center is a gorgeous mall in Germany. This center located in the busiest shopping street of Frankfurt. Very nice building, inside and out. In Advent it was beautifully decorated. The elegant MyZeil shopping mall is also unique shopping experience, making Innenstadt a captivating blend of culture, history, and modern urban life. It is also interesting design and people are friendly! Food selection is great and shops are so cute!

Beautiful garden, it's so soothing to walk here. Families with kids, couples and groups enjoyed the mood. Next time we'll visit them on weekdays because the crowd was huge. We anticipated amazing butterflies but there weren't many.

The palmengarten was absolutely stunning and well taken care of, lots to see and the atmosphere is amazing. Its a great place for all ages, they have an awesome play area for the kids too. I just wish there were more toilets but other then that the place is a must see

Took my girlfriend on a date here and would happily return for more (both to the girl and the garden). The ticket price is well worth the experience, and I’d strongly recommend it to anyone who is looking to escape the cityscape into a lovely area of natural beauty. My only complaint was that it was so popular that many other people had the same idea I did, resulting in some over-crowding in a few of the areas. But overall, it receives 5 stars from me and a desire to return to lose myself there in the future.

Vast, almost otherworldly botanic gardens. Fascinating any time of the year if you have any interests in plants and botany. I went in autumn and the park was radiant with autumn colour. I went round clockwise from the Palmentgartenstrasse side and the think this was best. Started with nice lake views then onto the butterfly house and then the mind boggling greenhouses with various climate controlled zones.

Excellent botanical garden! Very large, with a wide variety of ecosystems. The tropicarium ranges from the Himalayan mountains to the deserts of South America. Above the waterfall there is a nice city view. In the underground grotto, there are aquariums with fish and plants from all over the world.

We had some time to waste before a flight and this was the perfect place - in fact it might become a routine to spend time here to finish the yearly Europe stay. Very well mentioned from the grow houses to the passways and bathrooms. It would be amazing if one of the snack stations had vegan options on the menu (might have overlooked one?) Very friendly staff around, too. Thank you Palmengarten!

A Tranquil Escape in the Heart of Frankfurt – Palmengarten Review I visited the Palmengarten on a sunny afternoon and was completely enchanted. Nestled right in the heart of Frankfurt, this botanical garden is an oasis of peace and natural beauty. From the moment I stepped through the gates, I was struck by how well-maintained and thoughtfully curated everything is. Each greenhouse tells its own story—from tropical rainforests and desert landscapes to exotic blooms I had never seen before. The palm house in particular is stunning, with towering trees and a warm, humid atmosphere that instantly transports you to another world. What really made my experience special was the sense of calm that permeates the entire garden. Even though it’s a popular spot, it never felt overcrowded. There are plenty of benches to sit and relax, and the pathways are wide enough to wander at your own pace. I especially enjoyed the rose garden and the lake area, where families and couples were picnicking or just enjoying the view. Whether you’re a nature lover, a photographer, or simply looking for a serene break from city life, Palmengarten is a must-visit. It’s suitable for all ages and offers something year-round—lush greenery in summer, colorful blossoms in spring, and atmospheric strolls in the cooler months.

Amazing experience🤠 My childhood dream was visiting a natural history museum of this size and abundance of exhibits. I’m giving 4 stars just because the air conditioning was off in the middle of July and the staff had to open the front entrance and rear door to cool down the visitors. Also some of the solar system sections didn’t have lighting. Overall as a Dino nerd I would recommend anyone to visit this museum!

Fascinating museum with a huge variety of exhibits - from giant dinosaurs to mammals and even displays about the human brain! Everything is well presented and easy to explore, with plenty of information and fun details. Great for both adults and kids, you can easily spend the whole day in here without getting bored. You can have a discount with Frankfurt card 🙌

Was wanting to go to the other museums, but they were closed for renovations. Went here. LOTS of kids screaming everywhere. The bird exhibit is worth seeing. I appreciated the labeling if something was an original or casting. Also appreciated the dual language tags.

We recently visited the Senckenberg Nature Museum and our entire family loved it! It was a beautiful and captivating experience from start to finish. The collection of dinosaur skeletons is truly awe-inspiring and the exhibits are so well-presented. A particular highlight was the taxidermy section on the upper floor. The journey from an incredible variety of birds to the massive big game animals was breathtaking. We were even amazed by the intricate displays featuring all kinds of insects, all preserved with stunning detail. Our kids were completely engaged, fascinated by the massive T-Rex, the diverse wildlife displays, and the incredible variety of fossils. It's the perfect place to spark a child's curiosity about the natural world. The museum is spacious, clean, and easy to navigate. We highly recommend it to any family visiting Frankfurt. It's more than just a museum visit; it's an unforgettable adventure that is both educational and incredibly fun. We can't wait to return!

Well worth the €12 adult entry, even as an English speaker who couldn't understand all the text. The displays are beautiful- they have a wonderful selection of fossils, minerals and other items, which are all beautifully curated. The layout is very cool, and the building itself is geometric and adds to the sense of wonder and exploration. Would highly recommend. I believe we spent 4 hours here and could have spent another 1-2hrs there - only left due to time restraints on our part. A small gift shop.

Rate it as 9/10. As adults we easily spent 2 hours. All spectrum of animals, birds, fish, insects and more. I was quite sceptical before, but after visiting I can highly recommend it.

This museum is incredible! We visited from Canada and spent almost 6 hours here with 2 small kids who didn't want to leave! I highly recommend it!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

very nice view from the other side of the church

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Even though it's called a botanical garden there is just a part of it that resembles it, the rest is just a big normal park with picnic spots.

Wonderful. We were there for cherry blossom this year (1st week of May). There are full blossom. One of the beautiful cherry blossom, but underrated. The cherry trees are well maintained, has sitting option, man could take rest there. It just WOW. Recommended. The garden itself also very nice. We have seen lots of new Magnolia flowers trees are planted, near future it will be more attraktive.

Nice and quiet place to take walk.

The place was veryscenic in may.There is a big lake at center.The hiking trails I beieve go deep.We can get lost I felt.There are a wide variety of trees.Saw some goose and some beavrs near the lake.Also spotted some big carps in the water and saw a small rabbit hopping around.

Wow! Just wow! Stunning park with trees from all over the world. Loved how every species has a sign with its name and some information. There are some cafes in the park, although I would recommend to bring some picnic from home since they don't have a wide offer and nothing beats laying on the grass with your own sandwich. Highly recommended to explore and walk around.

I have been here in the winter but the spring experience is even more beautiful. The blooming flowers are so enchanting. There are sitting areas everywhere around, and if you love the grass, there are many mat-friendly area.

Beautiful garden with a lot of flowering plants & trees.It has a very large lake with lovely walks around it .You will always find a bench to sit & enjoy the beauty of the lake. There is also a cafe inside the park.Really had a peaceful time.

I visited Dortmund Zoo on June 20, 2025, during the summer season, and it was a great experience overall. The zoo is conveniently located a short subway ride away from Dortmund’s main railway station, making it easy to reach. The entrance ticket cost €11, which I found quite reasonable for the size of the zoo and the variety it offers. The zoo is spread across a large area and features a wide range of animals from different regions around the world. It was fascinating to see so many species in well-maintained enclosures that reflect their natural habitats. There are several restaurants inside the zoo, offering a variety of food and drinks, so you won’t go hungry during your visit. I also noticed dedicated children’s play areas, which make it a great spot for families with kids. Overall, Dortmund Zoo is a relaxing and educational place to spend a few hours, especially if you enjoy being close to nature and wildlife. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

This zoo is very nice! For €7,50 per adult and free parking in October the price is really low. The majority of people says this zoo is small but I disagree and think this zoo is actually pretty large. A lot of well made habitats, however I do have to agree that some look like they could use a little attention. But this zoo is based on naturalism, so I think it’s fine. A lot of opportunities to see animals from up close and take good photos. Also some (very )special species, like the black jaguar, clouded leopard and red panda. If you want to you can spend the whole day here, there’s enough to watch. Most of the animals are very active, unlike in many other zoo’s where the majority of the animals are sleeping. The only negatives were the constructions, which made it impossible to see some animals. Also, the animal information in mainly only German and mostly cash only payments at food stands. But overall, especially for the price this park is very good! There were also very little people, al though we did visit on a Monday.

It was nice, there was lots of animal. More of birds, different types. It nice to go early if you want enough time.

Nice place for Sunday afternoon. Few spots were under construction. It was a nice experience 😊

Large space. Wide variety of animals. It's not in optimal conditions for them, but it does the job.

I loved this zoo, not too big, but very nice, in the middle of a beautiful park. There are some very interesting animals like tapir, ant-eater and rhinos. All of these just at arm's length. Outside of the zoo there is a n astonishing beautiful botanical garden. Really enjoyed it and recommend

Great value for the price. Did not know what to expect before we went, and was pleasantly surprised by what we got to see for the price ee paid. Sadly some animals were not in their habitat because of construction projects. Disclaimer: don't expect a premium zoo.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A wonderful rooftop meeting place atop Bonn's Art Museum and vantage point for enjoying the sunset! No tickets... Just ride up park your bike and climb the stairs to the top!

Second best museum I've been to! The curators utilize the architectural framing well, exhibitions are well narrated, and Wim Wenders's Perfect days is a masterpiece. The rooftop garden is filled with glee.

Lovely Museum with interesting exhibitions. There is a bit of everything for everyone. Currently there is a nice exhibit about the brain. It's worth taking a kombo ticket to see all the exhibit at once if you have enough time. The current Adam and eve exhibition is not kid friendly, but other than that I would recommend it for families as well 😊

An unforgettable evening at the Fever Candlelight concert featuring Coldplay and Ed Sheeran’s music. The glow of candlelight and the incredible live instrumentals created pure magic. Truly a night to remember.

The Kant exhibition is a unique experience that spurred very interesting discussions among us and close friends especially in the current political environment we face in Germany

I nearly always enjoy the exhibitions at this gallery. They are so well displayed. Today it was 'Dress Code', about fashion and what clothes say about us. The photos are from the outside space.

Amazing building and surrounding but very borring exhibition and the staff was a bit unfriendly except one! The kids room is not exciting and creative at all!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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