Kalmar Castle

Mentioned on 
31 lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Kalmar Castle, situated in the city of Kalmar in Sweden's Smaland province, is a captivating historical site that offers visitors a glimpse into its 800-year history. This Renaissance fortress boasts fairy-tale turrets, a drawbridge, and even a foul dungeon with secret passages. The castle played a pivotal role in Scandinavian politics, notably during the formation of the Kalmar Union in 1397. Guided tours are available to help visitors appreciate the significance of this magnificent relic.
There are so many things to see and learn inside the castle, it is probably one of the main tourist site you HAVE to visit while in Sweden, at least if you are fond of history and architecture. You could spend the whole day inside and never feel tired. The castle' state of conservation is truly remarkable and the depiction of life in the middle age/renaissance is astounding. It is obvious the staff worked overtime to provide such a level of precision. Don't forget to look up for the ceilings, they are beautiful. I visited the castle during the Häxor exhibit and it was both immersive and moving, even for a foreigner, I can't even comprehend the amount of work that was needed to create such a masterpiece, even the poster is a work of art. I don't know who directed it but they are very talented. When you're done visiting, climb up the walls and enjoy the view. All in all, I came back with 400 pictures of the castle, that speaks for itself. It is hands down one of the best places in Sweden.
Stanislas T — Google review
Don't miss the castle if visiting Kalmar! The mummy exhibition is both interesting and fascinating at the same time. Make sure to set aside a half day if you want to go through the castle & mummy exhibition the same day. Comfortable shoes, you will be stepping stones for hours. The park outside the castle is very nice to relax in. You can find rare trees and flowers planted there, each with a little sign of name and year it was planted. Some are very old.
TheTasteSensation — Google review
This was our second visit, and we loved it again. They have fun stuff for kids to do, and the castle itself is interesting to explore. The food in the café is good and reasonably priced. The staff all speak English and many seemed to speak German as well (and Swedish, obviously).
Deirdre M — Google review
Beautiful castle but no way worth the entrance fee. Perhaps if you want the 'included' guided tour or you have small kids to take on the challenges, or you really want to see a random Egyptian exhibition it might be worth the money, but if you want a self guided tour and learn about the history of the castle yourself it's not worth the fee. Recommendation - charge a more reasonable base entrance fee then people extra if they want a guided tour or to enter the Egyptian exhibition.
Mike B — Google review
Liked: - Even though it is largely reconstructed, its exteriors are a view. - Their guided tours are nice, even if not the best. - Kids can enjoy at least for 3-4h, so it is a plus. Lacked: - A comprehensive timeline chart like the one in Borgholm slot. - A clear and chronological understanding of the exhibition of Kalmar slott history.

Museum
Military Museums
The Naval Museum, also known as Marinmuseum, is a modern and family-friendly waterfront museum located on the island of Stumholmen in Karlskrona, Sweden. It boasts a diverse range of exhibits that showcase the country's rich naval heritage.
À great must, in particular Nep(tune) Also the reception team made us feel extremely welcome, in particular the lady of Italian origin whose name I failed to ask. But for sure she'll remember the guy who liked stickers
José I — Google review
Interesting and extensive museum, gives great insight in the becoming of Karlskrona. The submarine is most impressive, although all the other exhibitions were also created with great care. One minor problem was that not all the signage was always available in English, or maybe only one sentence was while the Swedish text was very extensive. Google Translate solved this, but that could be improved for foreign visitors.
Niels G — Google review
While not a huge museum, it has some great exhibits, not least a very large naval submarine you can go inside and walk about in. There is a theatre that shows a very well presented film on the timeline of the Swedish navy. All the exhibits are displayed well and have English explanations alongside those in Swedish. The information is not verbose, which is a mistake often made by museums I've been too. The museum has an excellent restaurant which rounds off a really enjoyable experience overall !
Adam B — Google review
Most beautifull museum for marine, I've seen. Being able to visit a real U-boot on the inside completly, just gives you much more feeling with the history and live in the marine. Also the lunch buffet in the museum is good quality.
Wim V — Google review
Very interesting exposition includes 2 submarines and 3 ships. Good for visiting with kids. Also discount is available for entance if less than 1 hour until closure left
Marija L — Google review
A lovely couple of hours entertainment. Lots of bits that both kids and adults can enjoy like the nuclear submarine you can go on - do expect queues in busier periods. Really nicely weaved in overarching narratives with rich personal stories and events such as the Polish submariners who fled to Sweden in WW2 and Swedish conscripts experiences of the cold war. For an Englishman a fascinating way to learn more about Sweden's evolution through regional power, to superpower, to the softpower and cultural force you see today.
Nathan L — Google review
Very interesting museum offering informal text in various languages. It is a very interactive museum aswell with educational games so you easier can learn about for example submarines and how they work. You can enter a submarine aswell and see how they lived in there and more. There is also a buffet restaurant at the entrance if you want a quick bite before or after your visit.
Dinos I — Google review
I’ve been visiting the Blekinge region for years, and I must confess that this museum surprised me very positively with its accurate exhibitions and attention to detail. It transports you back in time and offers a magnified view beneath the surface of Karlskrona’s naval mastery. The museum doesn’t earn a full five stars because the bistro offers only limited and rather bland plant-based options, while most Swedish classic meals served are centered around meat and fried fish. Moreover, I felt the museum’s exhibitions tended to present Sweden’s naval and military history in a way that passively promotes war. Despite being a civilian institution, the displays often focus on military achievements and hardware without encouraging deeper reflection on the consequences or ethical complexities of conflict. I would have appreciated a more critical perspective that invites visitors to consider the broader impacts of war, rather than treating it as an inevitable or unproblematic part of national history.

Lund Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+39 other lists 
Lutheran church
Sights & Landmarks
Lund Cathedral, a renowned Lutheran church in Sweden, is a must-see landmark with its 55-meter-high towers known as Lunna pagar. Dating back to 1145, the cathedral boasts historical treasures like the untouched crypt from 1123 and an astronomical clock from 1380. Designed by architect Helgo Zetterval, the main block features a classical style and faces a charming square. Visitors can also admire the impressive Kungshuset tower nearby.
Lund Cathedral is a must-see if you’re visiting southern Sweden! The architecture is absolutely stunning with it's massive stone towers-seriously impressive! The cathedral really stands out in the center of the city. It's hard to miss. Inside, it's really pretty with its stained glass and a cool astronomical clock located towards the back. Some of the people I met that came out shortly after me said they weren't allowed to see the clock or take pics. I think they start to get strict there on visitors once mass begins. It’s free to enter and is worth a stop in. A memorable landmark in Sweden for sure.
How L — Google review
A beautiful old cathedral built around the 1100s. As with cathedrals back then, there is a crypt where kings and other important people were buried. Another really cool antique is the astrological clock that still works. Amazing place and it is definitely a must visit when in Lund.
C N — Google review
Lund Cathedral isn’t just a place of worship — it’s a cathedral wrapped in Swedish legend, myth, and medieval wonder. From the moment you step inside, you feel the weight of centuries and stories pressing in from the stone walls and shadowy corners. The most fascinating part lies beneath the main floor — the ancient crypt, built in the early 12th century. Here stands the eerie statue of Finn the Giant, said in local legend to have built the cathedral in a single night. When the bishop tricked him out of payment, Finn tried to destroy the cathedral but was turned to stone and now stands silently guarding the crypt. It’s a chilling and unforgettable sight that adds a mythical edge to your visit. Then there’s the astronomical clock, an enchanting medieval timepiece that still functions today. Every day at noon and 3 p.m., you can watch it come to life as the Three Wise Men process before a mechanical Virgin Mary and baby Jesus, while medieval music plays. It’s like stepping straight into a fairy tale. Even if you’re not religious, the deep sense of Nordic lore, mystery, and ancient craftsmanship make this one of the most memorable cathedrals in all of Scandinavia. A must-visit for lovers of legends and the mystical past.
Dmitry Z — Google review
Very historical church , must visit and it’s near to malmo. It’s built in year 1100 and architecture is very beautiful. There is no entry ticket for this church. Usually there is lot of weddings happen in this church and some times it can be closed for visitors. There is paid parking available nearby. Lot of restaurants also nearby.
Jayeshmon C — Google review
A very serene place, It is beautiful cathedral built around the 1100s. It was worth the visit for the beautiful stained glass windows and the silence. the offerings of burring the candle was satisfying
Sunil K — Google review
It's a magnificent ancient church that has retained its genius loci. There is an astronomical clock inside which shows not just time but also date and zodiac sign and it chimes, with moving marionettes, at noon. And this is followed by a short prayer and Bible reading, which I very much appreciated. The bookstore across the church yard is also very much worth visiting.
Tomas C — Google review
I really liked it. For a 1000-year-old cathedral, it's very well-preserved. Don't miss the basement, there's a very interesting crypt there.

Ales stenar

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Monument
Sights & Landmarks
Ales Stenar is a 1400-year-old monument located in Kaseberge, close to Ystad. It consists of 59 large stones arranged in the shape of a ship on a grassy knoll by the sea. The purpose of this stone-age monument remains a mystery, with theories ranging from it being a burial site to an astronomical clock. Accessible via bus and then a short walk, the site offers guided tours and provides stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
Dating back to the Vikings, Sweden’s megalithic Stonehenge overlooks the Baltic Sea in the south of Sweden. The surrounding area and town of Kåseberga makes this place a popular destination for tourists and locals. From the parking area you can walk towards the sea and overlook and then into town.
Maria M — Google review
It's definitely a 5-star spot. I mean, nature and the surroundings are just amazing. Next to the sea with nice walking paths. There are several short and longer paths to walk by in the neighbourhood, and they are all peaceful and enjoyable. Try to get here during the sunny day, you will enjoy it more. Lots of history here.
Eldar — Google review
Time travelling into Viking age. Unique stone formation on the edge of the sea. A nice walk from the carpark up to the cliffs through the village. Before you get the full view of the ship shaped massive stones you can read some information about the rocks. You can wandering off freely and enjoy the ancient stones-formation and the incredible view from the windy hill top to the sea. Be aware of cows grazing on this land around visitors... After that incredible experience on the way back you can also desend to the harbour where are lots of restaurants available or wandering in the little picturesque village and pop in into a coffee shop if they open, unfortunately in October they we're closed already...
Szilva M — Google review
Absolutely amazing site. The stones themselves are quite impressive, but the landscapes around are arguably the best part. The view of the sea is impressive, with nice and colorful flowers. There are several short and longer paths to walk by in the neighborhood, and they are all peaceful and enjoyable. Nice bonus : just next to the stones, there is a group of horses and their foals that you can approach and feed (they are very friendly and curious about you). I went a Sunday and it was not particularly crowded. The closest village nearby is quite nice and cosy too if you want to take a break.
Eline B — Google review
Enjoyed it! Lovely place although I did lack some information about it. Not too overrun by people and we had beautiful weather. Liked it but also not THAT special. Other than the parking lot it is free of charge so have a look at it :) especially if you like walking and/or have a dog. 🐕
Tiffany — Google review
Super nice view to the baltic sea and to the nearby neighborhood, very peaceful and you will walk by the sea and forests all the way to the stones which makes it a perfect hiking destination. Better to check public transportation timing beforehand for the way back because it works to a limited extent.
Zulfiyya R — Google review
Excellent stone ship. It’s amazing how large the stones are and the setting in which they’re placed. So much history. Definitely worth a stop. Pay parking and restrooms nearby.

I strongly recommend visiting Ales Stenar and the little Käseberga Hamn nearby for lunch, drinks, or even just a short stroll by the sea. The nature and the sights are beautiful and unique. This place is an excellent choice if you want to get away from the noise and turmoil of the big cities.

Hammershus Castle Ruins

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
The imposing Hammershus Castle Ruins, constructed by the church in 1200, are Scandinavia's largest and situated atop a dramatic cliff 74m above sea level. The castle is believed to have been built during the early 1300s. Visitors to Bornholm must walk through this evocative site and take in the breathtaking views.
An incredible ruin and must visit if you love history. Compared to the entire castle in its glory times, there is actually much of the stone base preserved. The strategic position of the castle makes for beautiful panoramic views all around (it's high up a cliff) and there are several hiking routes that go past and through the castle as well. Although the shop next to the castle closes, the castle never does and so it could be an amazing place to visit in early morning or late night too. I could not stop taking foto's of this place.

What an impressive ruins! They are still quite in tact and are great to wander through and explore. In the winter, the info centre is not open, but you can still walk up to and around the castle. There are great coastal views and you are actually quite high up! There are information signs around, so you do learn a bit. Enjoy the many view points and benches where you can sit to take it all in. There are a number of sections fenced off at the moment, but everything is still very accessible. I really enjoyed exploring this area!

OZEANEUM Stralsund GmbH is a modern marine museum located in Stralsund, focusing on the Baltic and North Seas. It was voted European Museum of the Year in 2010 and attracts over half a million visitors annually. The interactive exhibition offers educational experiences suitable for children, featuring display boards, models, and live fish in various aquariums. The aquarium also provides scenic views of the Old Town and St. Nicholas Church from its location on the harbor.
Went there around 80 minutes before closing, and I had just enough time to go through everything in the museum. I paid 14 euros for my ticket, and what I got for that price was justified. Would recommend!

I recommend it, very modern, well structured and easy to visit. If you want to see it in detail, it is ideal to allocate about 2-3 hours. The adult ticket costs 18 euros, for those aged between 17-24 a discount of 4 euros is applied. It is also beautiful outside.

The Pergamonmuseum is a museum complex located on Museum Island in Berlin, comprising five historical institutions across three wings. It houses an impressive collection of ancient Roman, Greek, Babylonian, and Persian artifacts. The museum is currently undergoing extensive renovations to repair structural damage and is expected to fully reopen by 2037. However, the North Wing and central area are set to reopen in 2027.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love this place! 🥹 It was a one-time visit but so enriching and unforgettable. Walking inside felt like traveling back in time The Ishtar Gate was absolutely breathtaking 💙 and seeing the stone with Hammurabi’s laws ⚖️ gave me chills. And then the Roman Market Gate left me speechless. The size, the details, the feeling of standing in front of such a masterpiece… it was beyond words. Everything is displayed beautifully, it feels like a smooth journey through civilizations. Honestly, it’s not just “old things,” it’s history talking to you ✨ Highly recommend it if you’re in Berlin 🙌

If you haven't seen this museum till now, don't lose the chance to get familiar with the awesome history of great ancient human civilizations, it also can be interesting for kids or teenagers. Apparently it is gradually getting under construction section after another section, unfortunately I missed some important parts due to the reconstruction work, later on I had to check the missing parts on the original video & virtual tour of the museum.

One can easily spend more than 2 hours here if interested. The collection is huge and enormous. Definitely one of the largest museums.The audio guide is very well designed. The Mesopotamian, Babylonian and Islamic collections are incredible. 12 euros for direct ticket bought at the museum. Online booking in advance could help.

A must visit museum in Berlin. Museum has so much collection of historical antique items. Ishtar gate is the main attraction and it's beautiful and huge. Also the Roman market fascade is huge and it's well preserved in museum. Audio guide helps in getting the information easily about all the artifacts. Very much recommended museum in Berlin.

Not a bad place. Not too big but enough to see. Pictures attached. It has very good disability access and the staff are very friendly. You need to leave your bags in lockers and need a euro or a 2 euro coin, which is returned after you take your stuff back out. Very bright and airy. Great perspective with the life size exhibits. Worth a visit but it isn't free.

We did no wait because we had purchased the tickets online, but for ticket sale the line was about two hours long(on a Tuesday in the middle of the day). The museum is incredibly constructed and truly remarkable! Very full indeed though. Still, worth a visit while in Berlin.

The best museum I have visited so far in Berlin! Very rich and huge group of artifacts from a wide range of Civilizations like Ancient Civilizations, Greek and Roman, Islamic… I booked the tickets online and entered with no wait time, there are Audi devices in several languages as well.

One of the most interesting museums I have ever been to. Would surely recommend to anyone who likes history. Alot to learn and much beauty to admire. It took us about 3 hours without rushing and we were able to walk through all the exhibits. TIP: Make sure to carry an A4 size bag if you would like to carry some water or any thing else inside with you. There is a coat check area and lockers for bigger bags. You just need 1-2 Euro to access them which you can get back at the end of your tour. Enjoy!

Berlin TV Tower

Mentioned on

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Berlin TV Tower, also known as the Fernsehturm, is an iconic symbol of the city and a popular attraction for tourists. Standing at 368 meters tall, it offers a viewing gallery at 203 meters and a revolving restaurant at 207 meters. Despite its association with the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), it now stands as a symbol of reunified Berlin. Visitors can enjoy a 360-degree panorama of the city from its observation deck, although long queues are common.
We came during the Festival of Lights. They put on a nice show like they do every year. Really enjoyed this years show. We had great weather which was fantastic. Look forward to going next year again.

A little pricy however you will get the best views across the city, you can see for miles. You go quickly up the elevator to the point where your ears pop on the way up. If you take photos of the views be prepared to alter the white balance as the viewing windows tend to have a green tint. Would be nice to see the views at night.
Random U — Google review
Perfect view on a good day. In my opinion the best time to visit is daytime on a clear day. That's when you get the best overview of the city. After sunset it's too dark and you can't identify the various places in the city. It felt a bit crowded on the viewing terrace though. Too many people due to early closing because of a special arrangement on the day of our visit. The queue to the elevator going down was way too long.
Elisabeth J — Google review
Iconic View, But Manage Your Expectations As a Berlin resident, I finally took the plunge to visit the TV Tower with my guests from abroad. I booked the Standard Ticket with the bar reservation included, and I have to praise the overall organization: getting in was incredibly efficient, and the elevator ride was impressively fast. The 360-degree view on a clear day is, of course, absolutely phenomenal and gives you a panoramic understanding of the entire city. The Major Downside: Overcrowding Unfortunately, the experience at the top was quite disappointing due to the severe overcrowding. It was so crowded that it was difficult to move, and we could barely get close to the windows to view the city in a relaxed way. It felt hectic and rushed, which really diminished the beauty of the experience. Bar Service Saves the Day A huge positive was the bar. They have great drink options, and the barman was very generous with the portions of wine, which certainly helped make the visit more enjoyable despite the crowds! Verdict: While the organization and bar service were excellent, the sheer number of people allowed up at once is poorly managed. If the tower better controlled the number of visitors allowed per time slot, this experience would be world-class. It’s worth doing once for the view, but be prepared for a very crowded and potentially frustrating experience if you visit during a busy time.

I booked the breakfast experience for my partner and I. It wasn’t as full as we were expecting and we were totally blown away with our window seat. It was a clear sunny morning and the changing view over the 1 hour 40 mins. The breakfast was well presented and service was excellent. It’s a unique experience. For the extra cost over just going to the viewing platform it’s worth every extra pound/euro! You get a clearer extremely relaxing view and no crowds. We were lucky with the weather on a November day and noticed that it got more hazy later in the morning. There is a system for letting people in to the building which mixes those going to viewing deck and those got the restaurant. It might be better to give priority to eaters as they have specific time slots. I wish I’d taken my binoculars. All in all I’d highly recommend the restaurant experience for breakfast time views. Even though it was ‘just’ breakfast it seemed nevertheless quite romantic for our little celebration.

This great structure dominates the Berlin skyline. It can be seen from all over Berlin. It’s a famous landmark of Berlin. I didn’t go to the top due to time restraints and the cost. I couldn’t find anywhere that sold entry tickets for less than €20. It’s also in a reasonably built up area so sights would be limited from most the sides, I would guess. However, saying that there are some incredible buildings nearby that might be nice to see from above. I personally think I would prefer other viewing experiences in Berlin for lower costs(I can’t name them as this is against googles reviewing policies but it might be a certain political building with stellar views). I hear there is a restaurant at the top that friends have recommended. A stable and defining piece of the Berlin skyline that can be seen from throughout the city, however, high prices let this tower down.
R. G — Google review
The tower is an unmistakable icon of Berlin’s skyline, a striking relic of the GDR era. Its gleaming sphere is instantly recognizable, and the observation deck at around 203 m offers sweeping, impressive views of the entire city. It’s a bit on the expensive side, but the experience feels worth it.
Vidya H — Google review
I went here for the 'Highest Breakfast' experience and it was lovely. The food was delicious and the staff and waiter were super friendly and welcoming. The waiter told me that Breakfast time is the quietest time to go, and indeed, only a few other tables were occupied and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Apparently the evening dining can be quite busy, and louder as a result, so I'm glad I picked to go in the morning. The floor where the tables sit is slowly rotating, so you get to see the whole surrounding skyline without even leaving your seat. I loved the neat but fancy decor, and drinking my coffee while looking out over Berlin. I would definitely recommend the restaurant if you're thinking of visiting.

Berlin Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+110 other lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Berlin Cathedral, also known as Berliner Dom, is a majestic 1800s structure located on Museum Island near Lustgarten. It features a towering 75-meter-high dome and houses an organ with an impressive 7,269 pipes. The cathedral encompasses the Parish Church, Baptismal and Nuptial Church, and Memorial Church within its New Baroque design. Visitors can admire the Imperial Staircase adorned with bronze cornices and paintings by Albert Hertel from 1905.
We went on a very warm and sunny day. You have to leave backpacks in a locker (you need 1 euro coins which you get back when you return). We managed to get the last open locker as it was a busy day. Going into the cathedral you are met with a quiet and serene space with some fantastic murals and carvings on the huge dome. We spent 15-20 minutes just gazing around and admiring the huge organ (they have specific times when it's played but not when we had visited). You can then climb up 267 steps which starts very normal and wide and then later becomes narrow and winding metal stairs. There are places to stop and catch your breath but there are warnings everywhere that you have to commit once you start and it's not a trivial climb. Once up top you have fantastic views across the entire city and can walk around the entire dome admiring the 360 views. There was enough space to stop, admire the views and take plenty of pictures. As it was a very warm day, the side away from the sun was cooler and hence more busy. Once you have taken in the views you walk back down a different set of stairs (another 250+ steps) to a cafe area. Don't forget to go around the corner and fetch your bags. Overall a great place to learn the history, spend time in quiet contemplations and then get a workout for both your feet and your eyes. Highly recommend the 10 euro or so entrance fee (we bought online). The local area there is full of museums and other sights not to be missed.

Very beautiful cathedral. Once you buy your ticket you can enter and walk around inside. You can also walk up approximately 265 steps to gonto the outdoor observation deck. Great, far reaching views of the city. The cathedral has some scaffolding over some parts at this time.
Julie S — Google review
Visited September 2025. You have to pay to enter. They don't take Amex. Price was 10 euros. Stepping inside this church made me think I was in an Italian church. The intricate details are incredible. Many paintings and ornamental features throughout. We made the climb to the top, which was a lot of steps, but you are rewarded with beautiful views of the city. I definitely recommend a visit.
Josh H — Google review
This Cathedral is well worth a visit. There is an entrance fee and then you step inside. Take your time there is so much to admire and take in. The architecture is amazing. You also have the opportunity to climb the stairs for a rooftop view. Something like 280 steps, well worth it for the views. Highly recommended
Allan M — Google review
The Berlin Dome is absolutely stunning! It’s a monument full of history, with incredible architecture and breathtaking paintings inside. The details are so beautiful that you can spend hours just admiring them. You can also climb to the top — the view of Berlin from up there is amazing! Definitely a must-visit spot if you’re exploring the city.
Ionescu C — Google review
This magnificent cathedral, constructed between 1894 and 1905, welcomes visitors to explore its stunning interior through self-guided tours. Rich in history and architectural beauty, it’s a must-see destination for anyone who appreciates historic churches and timeless craftsmanship.
Stephen A — Google review
If you have some time to spare in Berlin, the Cathedral is definitely worth a visit. If you decide to go inside, I highly recommend taking the audio guide as it is very informative and well put together. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to visit the dome because it closes about 30 to 40 minutes before the official closing time. It’s worth going a bit earlier, as the views from the top must be excellent and there is no extra charge to access it.
Abril S — Google review
Absolutely magnificent architecture! This photo perfectly captures the grandeur of the Berliner Dom against a beautiful, clear blue sky. The huge central dome and the smaller side domes with their distinctive patina-green copper tops are truly breathtaking. The sheer scale and detailed sculptures on the façade make it one of Berlin's most impressive buildings. Even with a bit of scaffolding visible (which is common for historical maintenance), the majesty of the cathedral shines through. The trees below add a nice touch of nature to the monumental structure. This is a must-see landmark situated right on Museum Island. Be sure to go inside if you have the chance, and don't miss the crypt or the climb to the dome for panoramic views of the city. A true highlight of any Berlin trip!

Museum Island is a small island located in the Spree River and is home to a collection of five renowned museums.
In the heart of Berlin, Museum Island is a UNESCO World Heritage site that houses five of the city’s most important museums. Ancient artifacts at the Pergamon Museum or classical art at the Alte Nationalgalerie, this island offers a cultural treat.
Ana S — Google review
Impressive architecture, but limited overall experience Museum Island’s building architecture is truly stunning — the classical facades and grand structures are a visual treat and stand out beautifully against the backdrop of Berlin. However, beyond the exterior, I found the overall experience somewhat underwhelming. While Berlin itself offers many architectural marvels and vibrant cultural scenes, Museum Island didn’t feel as engaging or unique as expected. Worth a visit for the architecture alone, but perhaps not a must-see if you’re short on time.
Ashvin K — Google review
Museum Island is one of Berlin’s main cultural attractions, bringing together several important museums in one place. The architecture is impressive, and the area is easy to walk around. I visited in the morning and the colonnade with its garden and sculptures was open and free to enter. It’s a good spot to learn, explore, and spend a few hours.

Linda — Google review
Museum Island is one of Berlin’s most impressive highlights—a UNESCO World Heritage Site that brings together five major museums on a single, stunning island. Whether you step inside or simply walk around, the atmosphere is rich, historic, and beautifully immersive. The island is home to the Pergamon Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie, Neues Museum, Altes Museum, and Bode Museum—each offering something unique, from ancient civilizations and archaeological wonders to classical art, sculpture, and cultural history. Even with some construction happening around the area, the charm of the place remains untouched. The architecture across the island is truly remarkable and feels different from the rest of Berlin—grand, elegant, and full of character. It’s always busy with tourists, yet surprisingly clean and well-kept. Just be mindful of the usual tourist traps nearby.

If you want to experience the beauty of Berlin as a tourist, this is the number 1 place to be. The architecture here is unparalleled compared to the other parts of the city. It was also astonishingly clean although it is full of tourists all the time. You will need to be extra cautious in this area. Beware of people who make who sign on a form to support children and then ask for money. Don't fall for them.

East Side Gallery

Memorial
Sights & Landmarks
The East Side Gallery is a preserved graffiti project covering a 1,316m-long remnant of the Berlin Wall in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. It celebrates the fall of the wall and features around 100 graffiti paintings by artists from all over the world.
A little way from the main tourist attractions, it’s a pleasant walk along the river Spree to see the longest remaining part of the Berlin Wall. 1.3 km in length, decorated by over 100 artists with short information boards along the way. Here you get a feel of what a divided city this was. Only the 3.6 m inner wall remains but add the boundary signal fence, 3m border fence and a watchtower every 600 meters to appreciate how separate both sides must have felt.
Linda — Google review
I had to visit this place for my 3 days in Berlin and it didn't disappoint! Iconic to Berlin. Some are a trip and some I didn't get, but if you run into those you can walk right past to a new piece. Information on the artists is listed in front of the artwork. Super cool. I went solo I don't think I would want to go as a group by going solo you can spend time enjoying the parts you like and take it at your own pace.

An iconic open-air gallery full of history, emotion, and creativity. Each mural tells a unique story — from freedom and unity to peace and hope. Walking along the wall is both thought-provoking and inspiring. A must-visit in Berlin for anyone who wants to feel the city’s soul through art.

East Side Gallery – An iconic open-air landmark An absolutely iconic spot. It’s the longest preserved section of the Berlin Wall, stretching for about 1.5 km along the riverbank. Essentially, it’s an open-air museum showcasing creative, impactful, and often thought-provoking wall art from various artists. It’s definitely worth a visit, as it gives you a strong sense of what the divided city once looked and felt like. The artworks are unique, symbolic, and visually striking. It's also a great place for those classic “Berlin” hype photos. Many murals even include QR codes that provide background information about each piece. A small warning: the area is very busy and there are quite a few pickpockets around. Just keep an eye on your belongings so that this otherwise great experience isn’t spoiled. Overall, a must-see in Berlin.

The East Side Gallery offers a wonderful walking experience filled with vibrant, amazing murals that vividly capture the history and spirit of Berlin. The artwork not only celebrates freedom but also includes clean, powerful graffiti that traces the story of the Berlin Wall dividing East and West Germany.Beyond the murals, the park behind the wall provides a peaceful and picturesque spot to relax after the walk, making the entire visit both culturally enriching and refreshing. It’s a must-see for anyone interested in history, art, and the unique atmosphere of Berlin.

As the history of Berlin is very dictated by the wall that separated it, very good to see it and easy to imagine how it would feel for the people living in the same city but separated from this giand wall. Also i liked that in the park nearby was a lot a people who were chilling, playing and having fun 🌞

It was amazing to see the Berlin Wall up close, covered in murals that are not just beautiful but also carry powerful messages. For me it had historic moments to things that still feel relevant today. The walk isn’t too long, and every few steps there’s another piece of art that makes you stop and think. Definitely worth visiting.
Nabeel Z — Google review
I really enjoyed looking across at all the art and little tags locals and others had made on the wall, took plenty of photos. One thing that did irritate me slightly was the amount of attention the picture of the two men kissing got was ridiculous, also it was so crowded at this specific picture that it was almost impossible to take a photo of it and even walk past it, people by this specific picture were also very rude pushing others out of the way. It really upsets me because so many of the other pictures barely had any attention when I would argue there were so much nicer than the one stated above

I’m leaving my opinion with regards to the visit to the castle, not the hotel. Unfortunately the trip went bad. We have a 2 years old daughter and my wife is 7 months pregnant. Usually this is not an issue and we are used to travel quite a lot, our daughter as well. We visit castles, museums etc. When a visit involves going down or up a very narrow tower or suffocating space, the guide informs visitors in advance. Well, not here. The group was quite numerous for those spaces and at the end of the tour, we were invited to visit the cellars but, little did we know that this involved going down a very very claustrophobic space. So my wife had to go back almost fainting and my little daughter didn’t handle that and I had to follow my wife. Of course with ZERO help from the guide or other visitors. That was just..bad. Overall the experience as a human was negative.
Marco N — Google review
As a foreigner non polish speaking person the experience was mediocre at best. We were told that we could not see the castle unless we joined a tour. They only offered polish speaking tours apparently. The guide seemed mad at us for being there. Very poorly serviceminded. The castle it self was beautiful. But would it recommend for non polish speakers.
Jackie L — Google review
The promotional materials claim that the castle looks like something out of Harry Potter… well, that’s quite an exaggeration. I get that they need to attract tourists somehow, but the PR team really let their imagination run wild here. Take that description with about 2% truth—maybe even less. But the surroundings, especially in autumn, are truly beautiful.

Fantastic place to visit with great history. As a hotel I would say it mid-range, with simple breakfast and small car park. But the surroundings makes up for that. And quite expensive to be honest.
Przemek A — Google review
It’s true that the castle and its grounds are spectacular — perched above the river with rose gardens and fountains, with its old walls and ramparts intact. The hotel, on the other hand, is a letdown. First, hotel parking was not free nor was it close to the castle. Written info on the castle is not available in English (confusing, as some signage inside is in English). There is no seating in the lobby, which is OK only when weather is nice. The vast majority of the castle is not accessible, nor was a tour offered when I checked in. There are amenities listed online and in their brochure that do not exist (e.g. a sauna and spa facilities). Wifi was spotty and at times did not work at all. think it’s a shame that one of Europe’s most spectacular castle hotels is, as it turns out, not very nice at all.
Jacob O — Google review
I was expecting more, at least something like Książ. Unfortunately, the group was quite big and noisy and at times it was hard to hear the guide. The castle itself is just average, not more than that. The ticket price is 10 euros for an adult, which is 5 times more expensive than in some Spanish castles. I wouldn't go there again and wouldn't recommend it to my friends either.

The Wrocław Africarium is a large zoological garden and oceanarium that contains exhibits of over 1,000 different animals from Africa. It is one of the oldest working zoos in Poland, and open all year round. The zoo also has an exhibit devoted to the flora and fauna of the Dark Continent, which are unique on an international scale.
The Wrocław Zoo is absolutely amazing. The territory is huge, beautifully maintained, and full of animals from all around the world. One of the highlights is definitely the Afrykarium (aquarium) – breathtaking and worth the visit on its own. I spent about 4 hours walking through the entire area and covered roughly 8 km – that’s how big and impressive it is! There are plenty of toilets and food courts, which makes the visit convenient, especially for families. Prices for food and extras are on the higher side, but it’s definitely worth it for such a unique experience. For parents: renting a children’s wheeled cart costs 30 zł per day, which can be very helpful. Overall, an unforgettable experience and one of the top attractions in Wrocław. Highly recommended for everybody

I visited Wrocław Zoo on two separate occasions in September 2025 in order to make the most of my time in the city and the weather. I visit zoos across the world in order to photograph their animals, and would consider the one in Wrocław among the best. The zoo is well laid out, with many indoor houses and outdoor enclosures for species across the animal kingdom. The houses that most impressed me were the Terrarium (for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates) and the Afrykarium for African fauna. The Terrarium is laid out over two floors (unfortunately not accessible to wheelchairs) and contains around 100 exhibits for animals ranging from tiny insects to crocodiles and giant tortoises. All of these are appropriate in size and conditions for their inhabitants. Many of the animals here can only be seen here in Europe, including some tiny colourful geckos from the Indian Ocean. I spent several hours in here on my two visits, photographing all the animals I could see. The Afrykarium takes you on a journey through the continent and its waters. The only deviation from this theme was to replace the rare African manatees with their slightly more common Caribbean relative, of which I could see five individuals swimming in their tank. Other inhabitants include penguins, fur seals, sharks, hippopotamus, aardvarks, and elephant shrews. The building is accessible to wheelchairs with a few elevators, but one was out of service on my visit. Other notable exhibits include the bird house, with its many rare species, Pallas’s cats, and olive baboons. Overall I recommend a visit to anyone interested in birds, endangered species, unusual reptiles, or just animals in general.

I absolutely loved my visit to the Wrocław Zoo! It’s one of the most beautiful and well-organized zoos I’ve ever been to. The animals look healthy and well cared for, and the enclosures are clean and spacious. The Afrykarium is a must-see — it feels like stepping into another world! 🐠🐧 There are plenty of places to relax, grab a snack, and enjoy the atmosphere. Perfect for families, couples, or just a peaceful walk surrounded by nature and animals. Highly recommend visiting! 🌿🐘🦓

Truly amazing experience! The Wrocław Zoo is much bigger than I expected and incredibly well kept. You can really see that the animals are healthy, well fed, and properly cared for — everything feels very natural and clean. There are so many different species to see, and the Afrykarium is just breathtaking! The only small downside is that not every section has English translations, but honestly, it didn’t stop us from enjoying it at all. It’s a wonderful place for both kids and adults — definitely one of the best zoos I’ve ever visited. Highly recommended!

Great value for ticket cost, 176zł (£36.05 for x2 ticket, £18 per person). So many animals, a lot to see, indoor aquarium was amazing and tunnel under the sharks and rays was a highlight. Hot dogs from cafe at beginning were great, little expensive compared to other places (48zł for x2 hot dogs, x1 cola, x1 water, £8.82.

Absolutely stunning—easily one of the best zoos I’ve ever been to, and I’ve seen quite a few. Massive grounds, an incredible variety of animals, and more than enough to fill an entire day. A definite must-visit if you’re in Wroclaw.
Stefan B — Google review
Great ZOO with quite a long history! I'd especially recommend pavilon with manatees (there is not very many places to see those in Europe) and very nice terrarium. There is an underground parking nearby, so you can leave your dog in the car without worries even if it's hot outside. Very worth visiting once you are in Wroclaw!

An incredible zoo with lots to see including an aquarium. The zoo covers a huge area and it’s really enjoyable to explore the grounds and buildings on site. Highly recommend a visit and would suggest half a day to explore as a minimum.

Liberec Zoo

Mentioned on 
27 lists 
Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Liberec Zoo, the oldest zoological garden in the Czech Republic, offers a wonderful family experience with its extensive and sympathetically landscaped grounds. The zoo is known for its rare species conservation efforts and is the only place in central Europe actively breeding white tigers. Visitors can enjoy sea lion and penguin feeding times as well as elephant training sessions.
I really enjoyed the Liberec Zoo. Even though it’s not very big, I liked that it has not only common animals but also rare ones, like the red panda. I think if you live in Liberec, you should visit it at least once. 😻🫶

Poor animals, they have no space to walk or run Birds are in cages smaller than my bedroom The female elephant is alone and depressive It was just sad to see all these animals Zlin and Prague zoo are muuuch better, they care about the animals, not only about visitors money
Alexandre G — Google review
I left the place with tears in my eyes. In my life I have visited many zoos in many places around the world, but I have never seen animals so sad, exhausted, neglected. The place is really depressing. There are many restaurants and play areas for children there. The signage is simply terrible! We followed the exit sign and it took us right to the other end of the zoo and we had to walk about fifteen minutes to the parking lot.

Nice mid-sized zoo ( the first one founded in Czech Republic in 1904) where one can easily spend 2-3 hours. Animals look happy and taken care of. Food inside is ok to feed the kids.
Alikus2000 — Google review
365 days of the year it costs from 85p ( €1) Its on their website. Tickets for qualifying not avsilavle from machine only at desk. Not the place for animal lovers. Poor male lion was just really suffereing through lack of stimulus and just taking 2-3 steps and turning around. Solitary elephant. Solitary tapier with nothing. No access to bedding. Like the lion just pacing up and down.A pond but securly fenced off. Solitary elephant just a small concrete surface clearly suffering No grass or vegetation like most enclosures. Painfull to see Flamingos rubbing their beaks on hard ground desparately wanting the right conditions. I could go on but definitely a place to miss. The botanical gardens are 5 mins walk away. I was there in April 2025, so i opted for the €1 Euro zoo as little in flower. Big mistake I do hope Trust pilot publish because we need the trooth

If the volières for the animals weren’t so tiny I would have given this place 5*. Animals were bored because they hadn’t enough space. Especially it concerns larger species. Seeing them in those prison cages was very sad. 😢 If I had money I would definitely invest into a reconstruction of that place! 😖
Anna M — Google review
Very nice zoo with special white tigers - the main attraction. Definitely worth visiting while in town. You can spend there like 2 hours. The cats seems to have a smaller rooms that I would expected. That’s actually similar for all animals here - you would think they should have more space but yeah, it’s a zoo 🤷🏼‍♂️ there is only one restaurant and one cafe so when visiting during weekend the line was ridiculous.
Pavel B — Google review
We visited this zoo with our 2 kids. The entrance price is very affordable (€5,- for adults) and the zoo itself looks nice with lots of trees. Many cages are kinda small for the animals and needs renovation. There are 2 play ereas for the kids. Both are fun and looks neat.

It's a very historically important church. It's a wooden church with beautiful exterior architecture. There's a small cemetery surrounding the church. While many churches in Poland are free to enter, this one costs 14 zł, with an additional 5 zł if you have a camera. I didn't go in because there were large groups of people inside.

Zamek Książ

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Książ Castle, the largest castle in Lower Silesia, is a grand chateau-style complex situated on a hill overlooking the river Pelcznica and part of the Waldenberg mountains. Originally built in 1288 and expanded in the 16th century, it showcases Gothic, Baroque, and Rococo architectural styles. The castle offers guided tours with informative audioguides that seamlessly lead visitors through its rich history and art gallery.
Zamek Książ is a very impressive historical place to visit with rich history, culture and mystery. The palace is so huge, elegant, well maintained, super clean and well managed. Thump up for the dedicated staff. I have visited the palace few times and I well visit again as it is near impossible that you can absorbe this rich history from one visit particularly when you see the picture of Princess Daisy with her dazzling beauty and philanthropy. But I am glad that after the WWII, the castle was restored and open to the public to see first hand the beauty and charm of such amazing historical castle in the whole world. You got to see the place. You will not regret it. I recommend.

We walked in the summer, but wanted to see this castle last winter, which might be a bit problem as the path may have been a bit slippery. It's a nice circuit along the river, quite uphill, from St Anne's church, (ruins) through the old castle to the new chateau , which is beautiful and the park maintained, free to enter. The place is photogenic and on the way there you can stop at the viewpoint. However, choose the right part of the day not to have the sun directly to your eyes.
Hama — Google review
Unbelievable castle! Very huge with an extended park. Tha castle itself is nicely decorated and furnished. You can feel the atmosphere of the past. By official suggestion you need 2.5 hours to go round but we did it shorter because we didn't have too much time. We went on the underground tour as well which is very interesting. It was part of the Rise Project of nazi Germany. A sharp contrast with the peaceful world of the castle!! You have to climb a lot of stairs!! Be careful. But it is worth!
Gabriella S — Google review
Tickets cost around 60pln for visit a castle. The whole tour takes around 1h. The castle is really good renovated and has a lot to see. Parking cost us 30pln . With the ticket you have also entrance to the garden. I did not have to wait to visit this place
Wikson — Google review
It was an interesting visit, but there were some organizational issues. Ksiaz Castle is definitely worth a visit. The self-guided tour of the interior is interesting and informative. Seeing the original furniture and décor from different historical periods was fascinating and really helped us imagine life in those times. The castle is large, and the tour takes about one to two hours, depending on your pace. You can explore at your own pace, which is a big plus. After finishing the tour of the interior, you can access the gardens, where you can walk around, relax, and even grab a bite to eat at the café. Note that prices are on the expensive side. Unfortunately, I had an unpleasant experience with the security staff. Due to the large number of visitors, it was difficult to stop and take photos, so I wanted to walk back and capture some shots I had missed. However, I was told that going against the flow is not allowed, even though I saw someone else (not a staff member) doing so freely. It felt inconsistent and frustrating. Make sure not to skip the underground section of the tour. It provides fascinating insight into the castle’s role during WWII. It's quite cold underground, so bring a warm layer. Plan to spend about 40 minutes down there. Overall: It's a beautiful, historic place worth visiting, but be prepared for some crowd-related limitations during peak times.
Mykhailo — Google review
Better to come earlier to prevent huge queue for the tickets. Use terminals to the left from tickets office (same enter as tickets office), they were totally free. Great and clean place inside and outside. P.s. if you want to enjoy coffee after visiting castle - better stay in cafe inside (NOT on terrace), because they have huge queue and bad coffee quality. So buy inside whatever you want (as take away) and enjoy terrace view.

Sněžka

Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
Sněžka is a popular hiking destination located on the border of Poland and the Czech Republic, boasting the title of being the highest peak in the Czech Republic. Hiking to the top from the Polish side is recommended with proper shoes due to steep slopes, although there are less tiring but longer trails available as well. It's advisable to bring your own food and water since there are no facilities at the mountain top.
Entered through the Czech side of the mountain using the lift. Weather conditions were exceptional, as shown in the pictures. It is definitely worth visiting for the views alone. Be warned, parking on the Czech side is a nightmare. You will have to park a few kilometers away and take the ski bus.

A must in terms of hike in the Czech Republic, very well signaled and prepared routes on both sides, recommend to do it in warmer season. I did it in winter and it was very tough compared to summer. The village (Pec pod Sněžkou) under the mountain it's the perfect place to stay for 1-2 nights, as the hiking routes basically starts from it

We visited on a foggy day, the cablecar was even closed half way to the mountain top due to strong winds, so we hiked there. The path is not very long, some 6km in total. Expect lots of steep stairs and some hard ice, even in the Spring time. Even though, we couldn't see much, view wise, we still enjoyed the short adventure. Make sure to bring warm clothing... It felt like - 10 at the top due to the strong winds. The nearby parking is paid and around 1km away from the cable car station but there is a nice side trail following the water stream.

Adršpach-Teplice Rocks

Mentioned on

National reserve
Nature & Parks
Adršpach-Teplice Rocks is a nature reserve featuring impressive sandstone rock formations, perfect for tours and rock climbing. The rocks were formed 85 million years ago under the Cretaceous sea, making it feel like a prehistoric wonderland. Visitors can explore clearly marked paths and enjoy the stunning beauty of nature. In winter, the area can be slippery but still worth visiting, while in summer, it's an ideal place to cool down.
Adršpach Rock Formations – Like Another World Absolutely surreal place – it really feels like stepping into another world. A beautiful destination, perfect for families. Everything is incredibly clean, especially considering how many tourists visit. The first time we went was on a weekend – and wow, it was packed! No tickets left, no parking spots. It was chaos. I highly recommend going on a weekday morning. There are way fewer people, which makes it much easier to walk, climb the stairs, and just enjoy the experience without being rushed or bumped into. Make sure to buy your tickets (and parking) online in advance – saves you a lot of stress and ensures you can enter on time. If you’re wondering whether it’s doable with kids – it is! We managed the entire trail with our 4-year-old. We carried them up the steeper stairs, but overall, it was totally worth it. As for the extra boat ride – there’s not that much to see (a short trip through marshy water), but it was still worth it. The captain was hilarious – we hadn’t laughed that much in a while! And the climb up those stairs afterward made it even more memorable.

Absolute must when in the area. The pathway along the gorges and maze like rock formations of Szczeliniec are breath taking and also loads of fun to squeeze via various narrow pathways feeling closer to nature than ever. One spot I had to go down on all 4s as otherwise would never make it but still had a blast. There’s also a mountain shelter on top with a variety of food, snacks, gifts and drinks for before taking the between rocks path. People say it’s worth to buy tickets in advance, but in early November there was no need. So if you’re planning in peak season check the website for an early purchase.

Originally belonging to the Tiele-Winckler family, the castle survived World War II but suffered damage during the Soviet Army's occupation.

A castle which came out of a fairy tale. Beautiful. After visiting 50+ castles/palaces, it was a dream for me to stay in a castle and it happened here at Moszna Castle. It was a perfect stay, clean spacious rooms with fountain view, spotless comfortable bed, huge bathroom, restaurant, a shop, free parking. I like the idea that interiors of the room are vintage and will made you feel you are in a castle. Like any other accomodation, there are lots of improvements that could be done. We are the only customer at the restaurant but we waited a bit to be seated. Very limited choice too, but it was delicious. There are few insects flying while we are eating so I believe it is something that could be addressed. Loved the mojito, but hopefully it had more alcohol to taste more authentic. But overall, we liked our stay, especially that they offered us a packed breakfast as we had to leave at 6am. It was 2 big bags of complete breakfast variety.

Every corner of the castle whispers stories from centuries past, and the surrounding gardens are perfect for a peaceful stroll or a dreamy photo session. The highlight of my visit was the legendary Black Apartments. These rooms are steeped in mystery, with dark wood interiors, intricate carvings, and a hauntingly elegant atmosphere. You can almost feel the presence of history in the air. The guided tour was excellent – informative, engaging, and full of fascinating anecdotes about the castle’s noble residents and hidden secrets. Moszna Castle also offers overnight stays, and spending a night here is like living in a royal dream. The silence, the grandeur, and the timeless charm make it an unforgettable experience. Whether you're a history lover, a romantic soul, or just looking for a unique destination, this castle is a must-see

The castle was beautiful and full of old-world charm. The food was absolutely delicious. Our room was spacious and pretty, though the bathtub made showering a bit awkward—water tended to go everywhere. They did a lovely job decorating the table for my birthday dinner, which was a special touch. Overall, the price was very reasonable.

A nice palace with a beautiful garden. The staff is so friendly and the ticket price is cheap. The hole territory of the palace is gorgeus. The cafe is gorgeus what operated by basic prices. But the reason of the 3-star: very very few information has written by english. Almost everything in polish. It’s so wrong for visitors from abroad.

This is a beautiful castle with spacious rooms and gorgeous views. The grounds are lovely and the dancing fountain is a treat. If you eat in the restaurant, try the beef roulade, it was delicious. The breakfast provided great coffee and a wide variety of options. Please come by car as there are few options by train. There is a bus but it is not ideal with luggage or backpacks. There were some issues with flies in the restaurant, but I hope that wasn't the norm. The castle needs some TLC (some painting, some steps need repair, the shower stalls need updated), but it's definitely worth coming for a visit. Staying here was a highlight and a treat for me.

To say that experience from authentic hotel in real castle is unbelievable equals to saying nothing. Atmosphere, rooms, area, full authenticity, even the floor with creaking boards makes unforgettable impressions. To enjoy it fully better to go without kids below 3-4 years 🙈 Strongly recommend to visit it!!!

Huge, interesting zoo with lots of species. Everything is well maintained and under a good care. All animals look healthy. I would like to visit it again in spring or summer to see the botanic garden.

Really nice zoo where they are taking really good care of the animals! Almost each species has a space with trees, leaves and everything they need. I really recommend visiting this Zoo! You can buy tickets at the entrance. The parking costs 100 CZH per day.

Very nice zoo - it’s a great connection between animals and botanical gardens in park style. If you are hungry- you can use a full variety of food and cafes. Children also won’t be sad or bored - they can use many different areas for play and joy. Visiting this place is very valuable and gives many opportunities to learn and explore our environment. Five stars and full recommendations!

I visited on a sunday and it was a bit busy. The animal enclosures are big and look like a natural habitat. It is well maintained, clean and the animals are in great shape. They also have breeding programs and overall seems like a very humane zoo.

We drove there to spend the day-date accompanied by exotic animals. We weren’t dissapointed although we were concerned that the animals were a bit cramped up.

Lovely little animal park. It sort of comes as a surprise to find an alpaca walking on the road alongside you. GREAT collection of owls but their enclosures are small enough to make you kind of go "Oh, poor thing." But the falconer show is well worth the visit! Those guys are good, even though they couldn't get the eagle out for the kids this time. So it goes. Big playground but some bits are paid and the carnies there are a little slimy, but they give the kids lots of time on the trampoline. The restaurant up top is very Polish in that they have a lovely large menu posted outside that you spend twenty minutes staring at and deciding then go in and they say "We have two things, everything else no." Seems to be a theme around these parts. But the řizek was good and the fries were really good. My wife also praised the coffee from the stand at the playground for actually serving a decent-sized coffee. You won't need the whole day here, but it is a nice way to spend a morning and lunch, especially if you have kids.

Great experience with my family even on a rainy day. The birds of pray show was breathtaking and the beautiful forrest animals we saw were already worth the ticket price. Additionally, the stuffed animal and antlers display was very informative and you can touch. Did not expect to see the racoons. :-) Other than that the carousels were dismantled in winter and the fairytale display a bit dated, but it gave us a laugh. We used up the whole bag of the feed purchased at the gate feeding some hungry deers. Warning: To get there you have to hike up along unpaved road, or find a parking spot, which due to the building site works are limited. Pro tip: Hotel Diament two streets below is a delicious gourmet spot for lunch/dinner afterwards.

Great place to spend a few hours, at a relatively reasonable price. Food was tasty at the cafe at the top. The deers were very friendly and lovely to feed and stroke. The bird show was decent. Plenty of free parking available.

Nice cheap day out for the family, two flying displays, owls and other birds of prey. Lots of animals running wild in the park, goats, deer and alpacas. A small amusement park in the summer with games for the kids and places to. Bar and hot food served at the top of the park all year around. Good wholesome day out feeding the goats and donkey.

There are a few animals, mostly owls and birds of prey in cages. You can touch and feed sikas and llamas if they are not overfed by crowds of people. If you have a stroller with little wheels, you are screwed as there are mostly gravel paths. In the centre there is a little amusement park for kids. For 12 euros/person you get very little. If you want to see a lot of animals in better conditions, make a trip to the Ostrava zoo which is a proper zoo for roughly half price.

We visited Leśny Park Niespodzianek a few days ago on a sunny day. The park was busy but not overcrowded. Unfortunately, the visit was very sad for me. Almost all of the animals looked bored and apathetic. The deer and alpacas roam freely and you can buy feed at the entrance, but it is a waste of money as the animals showed no interest at all. The enclosures in general are poorly designed and lack care. The worst were the wildcats: tiny, dirty cages, full of cobwebs, with no enrichment or places to hide. They were lying curled up on the bare ground. I have visited many wildlife parks in Germany, but I have never seen such poor conditions there. The raccoons were in a similar situation, kept in a small cage with no shelter and nothing to play with. I also felt very sorry for the beautiful birds of prey, kept in enclosures far too small for such large, majestic animals. In my opinion, the so-called Fairy Tale Alley with loud music does not belong in a place where wild animals live, since the noise must cause them additional stress. Our 3-year-old child enjoyed the playground, especially the large ball pit and the diggers. However, the alpacas have their food and water right in the middle of the playground and are constantly bothered by people. I even saw them being touched or hit by the swings while people were playing. The park is hardly accessible with a stroller, which was fine for us as we did not have one. The ticket price is far too high for just a few hours, especially when you see the poor condition of the animals. Conclusion: A place with huge potential that, sadly, is not being used. As long as the animals are kept in such conditions, I cannot and will not recommend this park.

a great place to spend time with your loved ones. the possibility of communing with animals of our Polish forests. animals have already become accustomed to visitors and, above all, to children. the part with birds and the show of flying predators deserve attention. for PLN 32 per person, you can spend a nice day. When choosing a place, remember a few important things: good, comfortable shoes, because walking is a lot steep and rocky. if you are going with small children do not take the pram. downside is the waiting time at the checkout. the owner should take care of more bandwidth. I highly recommend this place.
