National park that ends in a light house. We cycled there ftom Byxelkrok, really enjoyed the cycle, cycke lane in good condition. Peaceful and quiet at the end of summer after most other tourists left. Picturesque nature, loved it.
Costas P — Google review
A very friendly and cool place to visit on Öland. The drive to the lighthouse is an experience in itself. The lighthouse has an interesting history as well. It's not as tall or popular as the southern lighthouse, but this just adds to the charm. Also, it sits on its own small island too. Nearby parking accepts RVs for overnight as well.

Långe Erik lighthouse on Öland is a hidden gem! The climb to the top rewards you with breathtaking views of the island and the Baltic Sea. The peaceful surroundings and picturesque scenery make it a perfect spot for a relaxing visit. The lighthouse is beautifully preserved, offering a glimpse into maritime history. A must-visit for anyone exploring Öland!

Lovely landmark. You can climax the lighthouse for a nice view. Not spectacular. Easy to access.
Hans V — Google review
The lighthouse itself is very pretty and the view is fantastic. There are good parking possibilities for both bikes and cars. The wait to get in was understandably kind of long as we visited in week 29, the most common vacation week in Sweden. However it was a tad too difficult to understand where to buy tickets, and the price was double that on the Öland tourism website. Price for an adult in July 2023 was 60 sek.

A fantastic family experience – up close with moose! We visited Virum Moose Park a few days ago, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Sweden! It was the first time we had ever seen moose so close – we even got to "kiss" them! Both our children and we adults had a great time, and we can highly recommend this place. In addition to moose, there are also goats, pot-bellied pigs, and fallow deer to see and pet, which our kids especially enjoyed. There's also a nice grill area on site, perfect for a relaxed lunch in nature. A wonderful and memorable outing for the whole family!
Matthias M — Google review
Visiting Virum Älgpark was a fantastic experience. It’s amazing how close you can get to the moose — much closer than expected! You’re given plenty of potatoes to feed them, and there’s definitely a good chance to see them up close, pet them, and even give them a kiss if you dare. The guides are great and make sure everyone gets a chance to feed the moose. A super fun and unique experience, especially for animal lovers!
Evert J — Google review
Those who bought the tickets online go through the entrance first. We chose to sit in the roof of the safari vehicle, the train moves very slowly so sitting on the roof wasn't scary. Once we arrived at the feeding zone, the attendants gave us potatoes to feed the animals, where we touched their soft horns and nose. After at least 20 mins in the enclosure, we drove out and the moses went to rest in the shadows. Afterwards, we got our sausages, barbecued them and made a sandwich. We walked on the bunny trail, bought souvenirs and left. The price is too high for what I experienced and expected. I would have loved to have more information about the history and the mission of the park.
Victoria N — Google review
Hands down the best experience we had in all of Sweden. As if the moose Safari and the fun train car caravan was not fun enough, we were able to buy hotdog and sausages to grill over an open fire. We also petted a bunch of sweet goats and got to feed them. The owners were super nice and down to earth and put a lot of love and care into creating this very unique experience. Must do! Our kids loved it and so did we.

Historical landmark
Borgholm Castle, located on the west coast of Öland, is a stunning 17th-century Baroque castle ruin that has been home to royalty and prisoners alike. The castle offers guided tours and hosts various events, including concerts. Originally built as a fortress in the 13th century, it was later transformed into a grand palace by Charles X Gustav in the 17th century.
Nice castle, with a free app to download for an audiotour. Great feature! Really well organised, especially for children with fun medievel games for them to play. An afternoon well spent.
Hans V — Google review
Nice old castle. But there is not so much to see because only the walls are left. The museum is a small history of the castle. But there was a really nice temporary exhibition called "Forgotten places".
Tina W — Google review
In Sweden, öland has lot of places to see and this castle is definitely should be in your list of you live in Sweden. Once I went to the Örebro castle literally there was nothing. But Borgholm castle was amazing with sea view. Car parking is available. There are few small boutiques to buy ice cream and souvenir. Tickets should be buy at the entrance. They have explained history for every corner of the palace. There was a room which was in ground, mentioned as dragons world. Everything was worth to see. Deserve five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dmm B — Google review
Best treasure hunt ever for kids. An easier treasure hunt for the little kids,where they have to find eggs. And a more difficult one for older kids,with great riddles and an amulett. Our kids said it was the best castle and treasure hunt they've ever been to. The castle and the exhibit is really nice. We enjoyed our stay and it was absolutely worth every krona.

Borgholm Castle certainly worths a visit while one visits Öland. It's a big castle with many rooms and picturesque views. There is a permanent exhibition about the history of the castle and temporary exhibitions. When we visited, the temporary one was about forgotten places and it was very well made and fitted the mood of the castle. A negative aspect is that the café only works during on season which is very short in Sweden. It ends middle of August when many international tourists still have their holiday.

Kalmar Castle

Mentioned on

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
Beautiful and well preserved castle in Kalmar with lots of interesting history. The guided castle tour is recommended as well as to visit during one of the many events in summer.
Gb — 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.

Långe Jan, also known as Lange Jan, is a towering lighthouse located on the southern tip of Öland in Sweden. Standing at 41.6 meters tall and boasting 197 steps to the top, this historic structure was built in 1785 and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area.
Långe Jan lighthouse on Öland is a remarkable destination! The views from the top are simply stunning, offering panoramic vistas of the island and the sea. The surrounding area is beautiful, perfect for a peaceful walk and bird-watching. The lighthouse itself is well-maintained and steeped in history. A must-visit for anyone traveling to Öland!
Ajay K — Google review
Sweden's tallest lighthouse. Tickets are sold in the boutique (restaurant's side), not at the entrance (friendly staff). I was told there were 200 steps to the top, might be 197, I didn't count. The staircase is very narrow but overall the climb is easy-peasy. Might obviously be better when the weather is nice but overall very good spot for bird watching it seems. The views are what you'll be here for and are up to what you expect. Everything around is a protected natural area.
Stanislas T — Google review
So nice place which definitely worth it. I was there on Friday and only few people were there with me. Entry to the lighthouse cost 50 SEK and the view is so beautiful.
Anna S — Google review
Well worth a trip if you like birds, good view of the unique landscape from the top
Arne O — Google review
It's one of our favourite places to walk in nature among the birds. We have been regular visitors to Långe Jan and the bird sanctuary for the last 1.5 years. Långe Jan is Sweden's tallest lighthouse. The view from the top is breathtaking. The lighthouse is only open during the summer and autumn (check the exact timings on their website). They have an entrance ticket that can be bought on the spot. The entrance opens at every hour. There's free parking and free toilets on the premises. They also have a bird museum, a small souvenir shop and a restaurant. Parking is open around the year whereas other facilities are open only during their opening time of the year. You can walk around the premises, on marked trails in the forest, and by the sea. Be sure to look at the map so as not to walk to the prohibited areas or hunting areas. The reserve also serves as a grazing area for cows and sheep. You can easily spot different species of birds, deers, rabbits, and seals. I recommend carrying decent binoculars to experience the surrounding beauty.

The tallest lighthouse in Sweden from which you can admire variety of birds. It's also hugely popular with birdwatchers. The place itself is very peaceful with not many visitors, there were no queues (middle of August). So, if you're into nature and landscapes it's worth visiting.
Łukasz R — Google review
It's probably a good spot for bird watching but I think the restrictions on where you can go due to the bird sanctuary was too restricting. But as I said. For bird watching probably great, for humans with dogs just wanting to explore the nature I would go elsewhere.

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 !

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.

Souvenir store
The IKEA Museum, located in Almhult, Sweden, is a must-see for design enthusiasts and fans of the retail giant. Opened in 2016 on the site of the world's first IKEA store, the museum offers hands-on exhibits, vintage catalogues, and retro displays that trace founder Ingvar Kampar's journey from vision to reality. It provides insight into Sweden's agricultural history and economic development while showcasing how IKEA revolutionized furniture accessibility and sustainability.
A great museum that I visited with a friend. The staff are friendly. It was interesting to dive into history. Some exhibits are interactive. In the same building, there is a restaurant with delicious food. On the ground floor, there are many souvenirs you can buy at the museum, with a wide selection

I was passing, so I called in. If you have spent hours and hours of Sunday afternoons in IKEA, and you're of a certain age ; you'll appreciate this walk back in time to see the stuff you bought, then offloaded on your kids in a pseudo encouraging way to get them to move out....

A really nice museum!! You can tell it was created with a lot of pride and love. Don’t pay attention to the negative comments saying it’s small. It’s not an art gallery where you spend four hours, but I still spent over two hours there. And it’s not about the time, the museum is really well organized, just like every IKEA store, with lots of details and notes about Ingvar Kamprad and the growth of IKEA. And don’t miss the merch store, it was also really nice!🇸🇪
María M — Google review
Wow!! I especially enjoyed the different decades of furniture on display. It is a comprehensive look at the principles that IKEA was founded on and how those same principles have been applied throughout its history. We also enjoyed the restaurant and also visited the actual Ilea store a few km away. I only wish that the movie had given a better background on when/how IKEA began, more about the founder’s background, etc. No trip in this area of Sweden is complete without a stop here.
Pam G — Google review
If you're a lover of IKEA, you'll enjoy visiting this place to learn about the history of this legendary furniture company. You'll also learn about it throughout the years and get to know its founder and how he started from the early beginning. One thing that can be improved is adding more lights arrows on the floor to guide you through the museum sequentially. The only thing I didn't like is the shop. I wished they offered magnets or keychains that contain the name of the place but found none.
Abrar T — Google review
This is a fantastic place to go if you are either an IKEA fan or a product design junkie. Since I am both, I was overjoyed to see how well designed and laid out this museum is and how detailed the exhibits are. I quite liked the background on their product design process, which included looking at the ergonomics of things like kitchen layouts. I would definitely put this on a par with the World of Volvo museum. This is a great place to visit with the whole family. The museum itself has a “workshop” suitable for kids, there is an Ikea hotel just across the parking lot with a communal kitchen on every floor (and plenty of games to borrow in the lobby), and a very unique (but still in the IKEA family) restaurant also off of the same parking lot.

Another excellent naturrum in Sweden. It shared considerable information about fishes found in the area(river, lake). It is also one of the places with good birdwatching opportunities. One of the staff members, Sussie, explained with enthusiasm about the cranes that visit the vattenriket area between mid-April and mid-May. Their changing display of fishes found in the area is an easy way to impart information. The restaurant on the second level is value for money, also the view is nice. The Opteryx experience is exciting for the kids, not much for the adults. There are two short hiking trails in the area. Overall, I highly recommend it.

If you are passing through Kristianstad in the south of Sweden, don't miss the a walk along the nature reserve just outside town. It is centric around the water and it's importance for the area. The area has a very rich bird and plant habitat
Rick J — Google review
This is a small-scale, cool , interactive natural-museum kind of structure. I love how it encourages children (and adults) to research their surroundings. There are examples of eggs of various local birds, models of the birds, local plant examples, microscopes with samples of bones, plants, etc...it is really an interesting and fun way to explore local fauna and flora.

Good place for a walk in the park (or castle grounds) which is located on a narrow piece of land between two lakes. Having walked to the end of the gardens to the lake, you will find a little island which has a view of the lake, linked by wooden bridge which has a swing on it!

Smålandet Moose Safari

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Wildlife and safari park
Nature & Parks
If you're looking for a unique adventure in South Sweden, the Smålandet Moose Safari is an absolute must-visit. Nestled within a stunning forest wildlife park, this destination is home to majestic moose and American bison. You can choose between self-driving through the park or hopping on a charming mini-train for a guided tour—both options offer fantastic views of these magnificent animals in their natural habitat.
Feeding a moose was on my daughter’s bucket list, so today she made that a reality. This was a fun and educational activity. I highly recommend the moose safari. Seeing a moose up close and touchable is pretty cool. The gift shop has some great items and the restaurant has some tasty foods. Stop by if in Sweden for this adventure.
Patricia L — Google review
A great visit to see Sweden’s “King of the forest”. They have 11 moose (& a whole herd of American bison) for you to visit. You can either drive your own vehicle or join the small land train with guided tour- we have done both now on different visits & both are excellent. The animals are clearly in their natural habitat & very well cared for, although it is an enclosure. They also have a great cafe (waffles are recommended!), restaurant, gift shop, kids play park & goat petting area too.
Sarah S — Google review
A nice way to get up and close to these very beautiful animals. We took the car safari, because the train had already finished for the day, but that brought the option to go at our own pace with our own car. The bisons were impressive too, they're so big and even had a few babies around! The souvenir shop is lovely too, lots of little gifts to remember the trip by :).
T F — Google review
It was a wonderful experience at the Moose Safari Park. I suggest to take the train over your own car for a better safari experience along with tour guide in English and Swedish.
Alex J — Google review
After a trip in Sweden without having seen a moose we decided to go to this safari park. Taking the little train proved to be of added value. You get to feed the moose and this they come close. I would advice to go early on the morning. It was a warm day and moose don't like that, so they were hiding in the shade as from noon, so not even interested in the food. My kids of 10 and 13 loved it. The food in the restaurant was also pretty nice. Never had moose or bison before. So overall a nice 2 hour attraction, but it could feel expensive if the moose (11 at the moment) are not active.
Jonathan R — Google review
We drove in by car and most of the time you are just stuck behind the train tour. The poor moose must live in a constant cloud of car exhaust. The park seems incredibly compact and the bison area seemed very small when thinking of just how many bison there were. Maybe my expectations were too high when seeing a rating of 4.6, but I felt really disappointed. Not quite sure why this place has such good ratings?
Iben S — Google review
We really enjoyed seeing the mooses up close from the train. They came over and ate the leaves we offered them. The mooses were majestic and absolutely beautiful! So it was extremely shocking to hear our tour guide mention that you could eat the meat of murdered mooses in the restaurant and you could buy their meat in the gift shop. What a disgusting and horrendous thing to do in a park where people come to admire beautiful living animals!
Joanna M — Google review
Nice park and very friendly staff. We got some hotdogs and waffles in the restaurant. But be aware, if you drive with your own car into the park, then you most likely will be stuck behind one of their trains for a while, which can be quite annoying.

Kivik Cider factory is a must-visit destination in Kivik, offering a comprehensive experience for visitors. The facility includes a small museum, an expansive shop with various apple-based products, and an orchard featuring labeled apple trees. Guests can indulge in cider tastings during specified hours or opt for evening tastings with snacks. Families will appreciate the educational tours and the opportunity to explore the apple trees.
If you love apples this is the place to be. Big garden with lots of different types of apples. Big store with different types of juices and lemonades and other types of goodies. You even have the opportunity to sit at the restaurant or cafe to sit down and enjoy some coffee or ofcourse apple juice.
Rob K — Google review
A worthy stop when in Österlen. There is a cafe, a shop and a viewing factory where they display some of the machinery and juice making process, fun to see for kids. The cafe was somewhat pricier than normal. For example, a piece of apple pie was 59kr. The shop, on the other hand, is cheaper than what you would pay in a store. There were many people on a Friday afternoon, but I wouldn’t say crowded. The biggest attraction is swings in the tree that are super high. Kids loved it as it goes really high, very popular.

Stenshuvud's National Park

Mentioned on 
1 list 
National park
Nature & Parks
Stenshuvud's National Park is a serene sanctuary where lush deciduous forests meet pristine white-sand beaches, offering an idyllic setting for swimming, hiking, and picnicking. Situated in Osterlen, the park provides breathtaking panoramic views of the coast and surrounding landscapes. While planning is essential due to the vast area and limited amenities, visitors can enjoy leisurely walks through beautiful woodlands, take in stunning viewpoints, and relax on the sandy beach.
One of the best walks I have been on. We took a 4.2 km hike and it had everything. We crossed through the forest, there was a viewpoint that was worth the climb, a sunny beach to dip into to cool off, and at last a rocky finish to make the hike a bit challenging but still very manageable. Definitely worth the drive to there.
Rob K — Google review
Every beach along the coast seems to be very different. This beach has tons of beautiful pebbles that are smooth and some are pretty colorful. Worth a visit!
Kien P — Google review
A really nice hike if you start from the Hällevik side, right by the Kivik Musteri. There is also a parking and a camping spot. We went directly to the northern top which was a few kilometers. After that we went down to Naturum and from there to the beach. From the beach we took a path back to Hällvik, which was quite rocky so not suitable for too small kids or strollers. We had 4 and 6 year olds with us and they found the hike quite exciting and not so hard. In total we walked about 6-7 km, starting from 17 o’clock until 21. We also had a picnic on the top of the mountain and then had a stop for swimming and snacking at the beach. I was worried for the last part of the hike but I gave some lollipops to the kids and it really motivated them. If you come at the end of May you will find a blossoming rhododendrons at Hällevik.

Zoo

Skånes Djurpark is a wildlife park that houses over a thousand Nordic animals in naturalistic enclosures. Visitors can enjoy watching majestic elks, spotting foxes hiding in the bushes, and interacting with cuddly animals in the petting zoo. The park also features the world's first Shaun the Sheep theme park and Expedition Up, where wooden bridges allow guests to observe animals from above.
I had a lovely time at Skånes Djurpark! The park is very clean, family-friendly, and the animals have plenty of space. It’s a great place to learn about Nordic wildlife in a natural setting. I especially enjoyed the moose and bear areas. The walking paths are beautiful and peaceful, and there are nice spots to relax or have a picnic. Perfect for a day out in nature! I recommend you buy your tickets online, it's more affordable.

Comparative to other zoo in Sweden and this is fairly less entertaining, but there are good number of activities for the kids. They do not have any specific indoor marine or small animals and neither they have big animals like tiger lion elephant rhinos they have bear bison and nothing much fancy, a small dinosaur park is also good to see

Very toddler friendly. There is a small Shawn the sheep ride area where you go with a tractor.

The dinosaur area is really cool, the dinosaur make noises and it can be a little bit scary, but is very fun even as an adult.

Nice place, especially for kids, but unfortunately we didn’t see any wolves or bears. Also, since it was a big day (Ebo Day), you could have staffed the food truck with more employees — it’s not reasonable to wait an hour just to get a burger sandwich, especially knowing there would be a large crowd.

It's a nice place to have a day out in nature. It's all native animals, though, and many of them are nocturnal, so you likely won't see every animal in the park out and about. I really liked the area for the seals, and I thought it was unique in the way that it was set up like a natural pond, rather than something more resembling a swimming pool that you usually see at zoos. It was a very hot day when we came to visit back in August, and the ice cream certainly helped offset some of the heat!

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.

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.

Botaniska trädgården, located at Lund University, is a beloved botanical garden offering a diverse collection of plants and trees. Visitors can explore the lush greenery, visit the gift shop, or relax at the charming café. The garden is a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and families, providing ample space for leisurely walks and outdoor activities. Despite being particularly picturesque during winter when trees are not in bloom, it remains an enchanting sight to behold.
A beautiful place with a nice array of colourful and diverse flowers. Known to be the biggest botanical garden in Sweden and one of the biggest in northern Europe. What adds a lot to the experience is the small hilltop which offers a great and wide view over this part of Göteborg. It is the perfect place to enjoy a nice summer walk in the pleasant warm (but not hot) nordic summer. Once done with the botanical garden, you can progress for a small walk in the nearby protected national forest. The entrance works on a honour basis, so generally if you don't have any money, you can enter for free, but there is the voluntary option of paying 30kr for entry or donating money via online money transfer methods.

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.

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.

Wonderful view from the skydeck. We visited on a very windy day! 12 euros entry was a bit pricey, although we didn't visit the exhibition inside, so it is hard to say if it was worth it.

Arrival and return by bus from Sassnitz was very easy (Having the 49 euro Deutschland ticket makes it a whole lot easier, too!)

I went there to hike to the Victoria-Sicht, a little bit south of the Königsstuhl, where there are amazing views. I parked at the Grossparkplatz Hagen. From the Grossparkplatz you can hike to the entrance to the Sky Walk (pay there for a ticket to enter) and also to the Victoria-Sicht (no extra cost). There are also other trails through the woods; I used the Footpath app to navigate but there are also many signs along the main hiking trails. In case you forgot to bring a snack, there’s food available at the Grossparkplatz, and there are pay-toilets there and just outside the entrance to the Sky Walk area.

Despite being the smallest national park in Germany, Jasmund boasts stunning natural beauty, including dense beech forests with rare plant and bird species. The main attraction is the spectacular white-chalk cliffs, particularly the 118m high Königsstuhl (Kings Chair). Visitors can enjoy a short video showcasing Jasmund's breathtaking scenery.
It was a small park but the most interesting part was Sky Walk. Loved the views.

Wow what a beautiful place & must-visit a) the views are just spectacular, world-class and b) the Centre has an amazing nature educational exhibition (one of the best we ever saw. We took nearly 2 hrs but you can rush through in 30/45 min - incl. a children tour too) so thoughtful, interactive and a touching film to view (all included in the price). Also the food is quite good at reasonable prices (with vegan & veggie food option). Plenty to do for children. We spent overall 6 hours without noticing there. Highly recommended. Grateful for beautiful places like that that also raise environmental awareness. PS: from the car park in Hagen you can also stroll 1 hour through the famous, nature protected beech forests (there are also shuttle buses), the path is quite clear.

I bought the evening ticket for €6 and it was absolutely worth it! The walkway was beautiful and truly atmospheric, the view was stunning, and the film was fascinating and very well done. On top of that, the lady at the ticket counter was extremely kind, professional, and welcoming, she really made the experience even better

It’s just a trap for tourists , 12 euro is not worthy here. Better to walk or hike throughout the forest trust me you will find the better scenario and feel refreshing

We left disappointed. Me and my family didn't read the reviews and regret it. Just a little view point to see for almost 100€ from 5 people - that's just a huge scam.

you cannot drive to the site so you park and take public transportation. the parking site has eating options. parking costs €8 for the day and museum + park entrance and bus ticket can be purchased at the parking station. the park is a well preserved site. did not expect it. about 3 and a half hours from berlin. this island was a good place to hangout. the museum is a worthwhile experience. takes about two hours but you come out informed and educated.

It’s a great place for nature lovers and to know more about the local ecosystem and how it was formed. There is also a viewing platform where we can take some great pictures. Overall good way to spend time when in this area.

Mixed feelings about this place. Obviously, the nature around the park center is stunning. They really put an effort into providing information about the history, flora and fauna of the place. Expensive given you pay 12€ just for this though. It’s disappointing though that the variety of vegan food offered here equals 0 (unless you count an oven baked potato without any sauce as an option). The french fries are prepared in the same oil as the chicken nuggets. Interesting to read that nothing has changed since two years ago when another user had posted a review about this. I would expect more from a place that promotes nature and sustainability. My family tried the non-vegan options. They were average at most. Side note: Dogs must be on a leash and wear a muzzle on the shuttle bus to get here since about one year ago… great way to make money selling them for 8.99€ at the parking.

We didn't think it would be such a breathtaking place. We were coming from a not so spectacular Glowe and Jasmund park trip and completely bowled over by this scenic post card beauty of a place. Stayed there for 15 precious minutes... I think one of the best clean well kept beaches/beach-location in Baltic coast. Absolutely charming and worth spending half a day at a minimum...
Chandan S — Google review
We've came to Sellin especially from Lohme to see the city, make underwater trip on Tauchgondole and stay for lunch. Unfortunatelly, we couldn't go out from the car, because entire city is blocked for free parking and all parkings and streets with allowed parking - are equiped with an old-style parking machines which accept only cash coins. In entire so-called 'tourist city' it's impossible to pay for a parking with credit card. So yes, we lost probably nice on-land and underwater view, but local business lost quite some money that four people were ready to spend there. Looks like non-German tourists are generally not welcomed anywhere, at least in former DDR we're visiting this time...

Granitz Hunting Castle

Mentioned on

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Granitz Hunting Castle, located in the resort town of Binz, Rugen, is a 19th-century museum with five crenellated towers and grand rooms. The castle offers a luxurious setting for hunting enthusiasts with its incredible collection of animal skulls, antlers, and stuffed stag. It also features a 144m-high viewing platform and a cast-iron spiral staircase with 154 steps.
Unfortunately, the day was foggy, and we couldn’t see anything from the tower. However, everything else was great, and of course, it’s not their fault for the weather. I’d recommend others to visit on a sunny day to get the full experience. We drove up by car, but the route is also beautiful for hiking.
Magdalena S — Google review
This was super cool. Enjoyed climbing the tower which wasn’t as tiring as I thought it would be. A lot to look at and take in. I enjoyed the hike up from the parking lot (about 2km).

Nice Castle, well kept, very friendly and accommodating staff. Not a lot to see but what is there is set up and explained very well and entry fee is very reasonable. The highlight is the metal staircase leading to the view point above, think it’s 154 spiralling see through steps, maybe not for those with fear of heights.
Paul F — Google review
The highlight of the experience was undoubtedly the stunning spiral staircase that winds its way up the tower. The panoramic views from the top were breathtaking and made every step worth it. The peaceful surroundings and scenic walks around the grounds added to the charm of the visit. Overall, the Granitz Hunting Lodge is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Rügen Island.

It takes a little hike to get the lodge, but it's really worth it. During the hike through the beautiful woods, you come across animals and a steam train. The castle is beautiful, and the inside is very well preserved. With big chandeliers, hunting trophies, and paintings of the royals who lived there. You can also get to the top of the tower by walking an iron staircase. Once you reach the top, you're welcomed by a beautiful view. The only thing I missed was information in English, so bring your German friend or Google translate.

Historical Technical Museum, Peenemünde

Mentioned on 
6 lists 
History museum
Museum
The Historical Technical Museum, Peenemünde, is a fascinating destination that pays tribute to the laborers who constructed test rockets during World War II. Housed in a former power station, this museum delves into the rich history of the Peenemünde Army Experimental Station and its pivotal role in early space exploration. Visitors can explore where the first rocket was launched into space back in 1942, highlighting one of the most remarkable yet perilous technological advancements of the 20th century.
A WWII museum where rockets were produced in Germany. A very interesting place that serves as a reminder of history and offers a good overview of how things worked back then. While the history is a bit sad, the museum itself is well done and definitely worth a visit. I highly recommend paying the extra 1 euro for a ticket to the rooftop via the elevator, where you'll get amazing views of the sea! I was hesitant at first, but I highly recommend it!
Michael M — Google review
This is an exquisite museum! I was really surprised that the authors of the exposition show the history of this place and the history of this deadly rocket in such a comprehensive way. I recommend taking the audio guide (available in different languages, including Polish) - it's very informative and interesting.
Łukasz C — Google review
The entrance ticket currently costs €13.50, with an additional €2.50 for the audio guide and €1.50 for admission to the viewing platform. Parking costs €1 per hour or €5 for the whole day. There are lots of information panels in the museum, so the length of your visit will depend mainly on how much you want to read them. There is also a cinema where a documentary is shown. My visit, during which I only read a small part of the panels, lasted 2½ hours. In addition to this, you can take a walk along the harbor docks and visit the interior of a submarine abandoned here by the Soviet Union and a German military ship; there is also a museum particularly aimed at children. All the large buildings and missile launch pads have been destroyed, with the sole exception of the power station, which remained in operation until 1990 and was then converted into this museum. Once upon a time, there was a quiet fishing and farming village with about 500 inhabitants, who certainly never imagined that in the future it would become one of the most important places in a world war and for the conquest of the Moon. Due to its isolation and geographical characteristics, in 1935 Peenemünde was identified as the ideal location for secret missile research, and by 1937 it had already been transformed into a small town. Scientists working on two separate projects were brought together there: the first was the Fielser flying bomb, renamed V-1 (“Vergeltungswaffen 1”), of which about 30,000 were produced. The second was the Aggregat missile, which was designed in 10 different versions; almost 5,800 units of the Aggregat 4, renamed V-2, were mass-produced. Upon discovering the existence of the secret base, the British RAF decided to destroy it completely with an attack carried out by 596 bombers on the night of August 17-18, 1943, but some of the targets were missed and the concentration camps where prisoners assigned to forced labor lived were also hit. Weapons production was moved to less vulnerable locations, but in 1944 there were three more bombings. In February 1945, the Third Reich military demolished what they considered important to prevent it from falling into the hands of the advancing Soviet troops, who conquered the base three months later. In turn, under international agreements, the Soviet military dismantled or transported what was left to the USSR, saving the power plant and the airport. The missiles that had not been launched became spoils of war, and the scientists who did not die in the bombings went to work in the research centers of the victorious nations. Wernher von Braun, the brilliant mind who designed the V-2 rockets, had been appointed major in the SS even though he had devoted himself solely to scientific work. Nevertheless, in 1944 he was arrested by the Gestapo for crimes against the state, but given his importance to the project, he was rehabilitated and allowed to return to lead it. At the end of the war, SS troops were ordered to kill him, but he managed to escape by crossing Germany with false documents to surrender to the Americans. In the United States, Von Braun, together with other German scientists from the Aggregat project and US scientists, designed the Jupiter-C rocket that put the first American satellite into Earth orbit. They then built the Saturn V rocket, which, as part of the Apollo program, enabled man to reach the Moon. Thanks to its beautiful beach, Peenemünde has become a seaside resort, with remnants of World War II scattered across a vast area. Only with a guided tour can you access the fenced-off area where the “Prüfstand VII” launch base was located.

This museum is fantastic! So much information and the way it has being layered out is very impressive. I spent almost three hours and unfortunately could not read all the material! The highlight was being able to visit a power plant! If you love history and engineering, this place is a must!! Entrance tickets can be bought on entrance bunker paid card or cash!
Virginia L — Google review
A most important historical site, where the Nazis under the direction of Werner Von Braun and other eminent scientists developed the V2 rocket propelled missile.Also the launching pad for the infamous V1 'Doodlebug" flying bomb which rained death upon London late in WW2. Thankfully it was too late to save the badly crumbling Third Reich. Its an amazing historical site now with launch pad and Rocket examples on display. The museum is interesting with its tales of how massive slave labour was used to achieve the manufacture of these terror weapons.
Dennis S — Google review
It's fair to say that the site is still in tact. The site to visit is 'Die Ausstellung' or exposition. It's pretty detailed if you want to grasp it all, I'd say take 4 hours certainly into account to cover the entire site. Everything is well displayed so the audio is complementary but not really necessary. The elevator (€1 surcharge) for the overview from the top you'll probably pay cuz while there why not but is not really worthwhile. The pictures you take downstairs will measure your expectations.
Geert L — Google review
Four stars for the technological advancement (albeit used by thugs as weapons), and brilliant brains behind what eventually led to the first moon landing. Considering the original site was blasted into dust, the museum was well put together and interesting but not sure about having the tiresome Goebbels droning on over a loud speaker in an exhibit. Ticket office staff are as expected. Parking charges but toilets free ! Usually the other way round.

The Maritim Museum Peenemünde U-461 is home to the largest diesel-powered submarine in the world, the Juliett U-461. This massive 1960s Soviet submarine offers visitors a chance to explore its torpedo rooms and even the captain's cabin. The museum also features the Taucher II, a diving support ship from 1959. Despite not being a fan of military museums or technology, many have found themselves fascinated by this unique experience.

Very impressive Submarine with rocket launcher platforms. Again and again incredible how to work and life on such a ship.

It is really interesting to see cold war era russian submarine from inside. Visited with kids (10&11) who really enjoyed it. There's a steep ladder to get inside. You get to walk through one deck including periscope room, crew cabins, torpedo room and pass the missile launchers. Can't imagine living aboard in such a tiny space for weeks. It is like being in a huge clockwork - all the valves, pipelines, wires, switches - to master it and be able to control everything under enormous stress where mistake may lead to death must have been something. Can't imagine being on board when launching it's missiles either. The ship itself would deserve new paint but definitely worth seeing anyway

Eldena Abbey

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
Historic ruins of an iconic medieval monastery, circa 1199, in a serene park atmosphere.
If you ever find yourself wandering down Eldena Alley and feel like you've stumbled into a Caspar David Friedrich painting, don't worry—you have. This peaceful stretch in Greifswald is where Friedrich probably took his gloomy walks, thinking, "How can I make ruins look even more dramatic?" And boy, did he succeed. Eldena Abbey, or what’s left of it, stands like a giant, melancholic mood board for his paintings, and strolling through the alley feels like getting a personal tour of his mind—minus the existential dread, unless it starts raining. But here's the kicker: while Friedrich may have turned these ruins into symbols of transcendence and human frailty, the actual alley today is more like a scene from a quirky indie film. You’ll pass modern-day locals who probably have no idea they're in the shadow of Romanticism, casually biking through Friedrich’s once-upon-a-gothic-wonderland. Think of it as a weird time warp where art history meets real life, and where you, too, can embrace your inner brooding artist without looking like you're trying too hard. Just remember: ruin appreciation is a serious business. Bring a sketchbook, stare into the distance, and make sure someone catches you in the act - it’s what Caspar would’ve wanted.

One of the famous places Caspar David Friedrich was painting. Certainly a must see for all lovers of romantic historic sites. But the city of Greifswald could and should do way more to improve the surroundings of this superb site, like taking care of the park, offering a visitor centre, cutting trees and bushes to allow better views of the ruins...

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Tours of an enormous ship hoist dating from 1934 & featuring a 36-meter lift for water traffic.
Our bike trip from Berlin to Niederfinow was an unforgettable adventure! Pedaling through scenic fields and charming small towns, we were treated to a picturesque journey that perfectly set the stage for the highlight of our day. Upon reaching Niederfinow, we were thrilled to catch the Schiffhebewerk in action. Witnessing this engineering marvel in motion was absolutely awe-inspiring. The sheer scale and precision of the ship lift left us in amazement. It’s incredible to see how effortlessly it raises and lowers massive vessels, a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. The entire experience was both educational and exhilarating, offering a unique glimpse into the workings of a historic yet fully functional piece of engineering. If you’re ever near Berlin, we highly recommend taking the time to visit Schiffhebewerk Niederfinow—it’s a sight you won’t want to miss!

I never knew that there was something like that in Brandenburg. If you go there in a warm season, make sure to take a boat tour. We were lucky to get the last boat tour this year: it is an unforgettable and unique experience to sit on a boat being lifted to a higher river level! During the boat tour you get guide explanations, so you will still learn a lot even if you prefer the boat to the classical excursion 😉

This could be 5 star + We paid 5€ to walk around the old boat lift. Unfortunately all the information boards were in German or Polish. It was amazing to see the huge structure and to see how it worked lifting the boats, both were still in use. However, I found the whole experience a bit of a money spinner, you have to pay to park, pay to activate the App, pay to use the toilet and the only way to see the new boat lift is with a tour guide, but that's only in German! With all this money they are generating they could put some English information out. There is a small information centre which is free to enter and they had information boards on how it was erected and fortunately it was in English too 👍. The staff member we spoke to was very helpful and fortunately spoke some English which was a great help.

Something different - if in area definitely worth a visit We did a 3-day road trip around the Brandenburg region and this definitely was a highlight. During our exploring, we saw many beautiful castles, townships and lakes to this was something different. We were travelling with a Labrador. You can take a dog up. Dog-friendly. At the ticket kiosk, they gave us a pass that gave us entry via the door, rather than the rotating gate. Parking - there is one main car park - when leaving make sure you get a token (costs 3 euros for a car) from the parking machine next to the toilets, right by the drive-in/ out. Ha ! I thought you had to put 3 euros into the exit barrier machine. ...but no, it just takes the tokens.

78 years go, after several months imprisoned in Ravensbrück, my grand-mother was delivered by the Red Army in April 1945. As a member of the French Resistance, she was denounced and deported to this concentration camp. In January 1939, Himmler let build up the Ravensbrück concentration camp in Brandenburg, North of Berlin, the only camp for women. The first inmates - German and Austrian women - arrived in May 1939. Some 130,000 prisoners, mostly women but also men and children, were imprisoned in Ravensbrück. In six years, Ravensbrück was transformed into a vast concentration camp complex, surrounded by satellites (kommandos) serving the German industry. The inmates were forced to work more than twelve hours a day, punctuated by dawn and evening calls, to develop and maintain the site; they served as slave labor in the sewing workshops and electrical assembly industries such as Siemens and Halske, as well as in the arms industries such as Heinkel, BMW, Mercedes and Skoda. Some were subjected to the medical experiments of Dr. Karl Gebhardt. Polish girls, nicknamed "rabbits" and political prisoners NN, Nacht und Nebel. They were subjected to sterilization experiments, muscle and bone transplants... After such a "nerve-wracking experience", my grand-mother passed her grand-children the following message: "There is no foreigner on this planet 🌍. ☮️ Peace can not be kept by force. Everyone shall contribute to achieve it by understanding" What a heritage from such a woman 👩 who survived this part of History.

My Buddy and I had a fantastic time here. We spend over 10 hours here. The Sauna options are awesome. So many great choices. Everybody is friendly. A very relaxed and chilled place to enjoy a day of relaxation. They have Hefeweizen on Tap which is really great. The Food in the Restaurant was awesome. We had lunch and later dinner there. I can't saying anything negative about the food or service. We mainly chilled on the rooftop patio. Sunday is a great time to come, no many people around. The pools are fun too. Loved the floating quite pool. We had such a great time we will be back. Can't wait. Thanks for letting us enjoy the facilities to the end. We where some of the last to leave. Thanks for your patience. The employees make the place special. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Huh somewhere between 3 and 4 tbh, but somehow more for three. So in consideration of price, and comparing price this price with vabali I would say that this spa fails the most. 6h with saunas and therme included is smth like 95 euros and ok its fine but I would for this price expect few basic things: - there is no shower gel.. - really limited and hidden places for taking water even in new buildings there is no place for drinkable water - towels not provided - because of location I would expect that's cheaper And then few things that I would expect for this money: - Ordering in a restaurant is like you need to go to the place order food and then they will bring it to you, it's kind of a half self service - would expect a lot of more sun beds it's almost impossible to find one that's free and many of them are just covered with someone's towel. - just found at the end that it's forbidden to take pictures, I don't have an issue with not taking pictures but it's really not so obvious Positive things: - really nice big pools, salty water, sound pool - Thai restaurants have really good food - new building panorama sauna and last floor terrace is awesome Overall, most of sauna's are really small so for sauna part if you want to visit there is much better sauna focus spa and it's in the center of Berlin. But for pools, I would definitely choose this one over the Vabali.

Unfortunately, we didn't like it that much. While the saunas themselves are great, our favorite was the panoramic sauna overlooking the lake, everything else is tiny and feels cramped. The large saltwater pool is nice, but not as relaxing. And again, the space between the pools and the beds is very small and hard to walk around. A big positive surprise was the restaurant. We had the edamame, gyoza, mangu curry with shrimp and bun bo nam bo. It was delicious. Probably one of the best Thai meals I've had west of Phuket. Unfortunately, the evening ended on a sour note as the parking garage is also - surprise, surprise - super cramped and I scratched the rims of our car going down the super narrow ramp. To sum up: we've been here, but we prefer the SpreewaldTherme in Burg or the VaBali Spa in Berlin.

Lovely place to go. The saunas have really nice view to the park! I wished that they had a proper restaurant with more options in the afternoon.

This spa is about 1 hour by train from Berlin then around 20 minutes by bus. Ideally you should spend at least 3 hours to really enjoy it. It offers jacuzzi, swimming pools and sauna. I loved the jacuzzi and the lavender sauna along with many cold and hot showers. Daily pass cost Euro 27 and 10 extra for sauna. Unfortunately, the food is very limited and the sitting is just wooden benches with ants crawling all over the tables. Obsulatly disgusting! There is a nice park overlooking a lake next to it , it's worth a visit.

This is one of the most relaxing and clean public thermal and spa places I've seen. It's affordable, you can reach it by train and public transport in less than an hour and half from Berlin. They have different kinds of pools inside and outside. I would like to give a plus point for the pool with underwater music and its relaxing atmosphere. I heard its textile-free for adults on Saturday. Make a phone call and reassure it before you head on to this beautiful oasis.

Super cool feelings during the winter time! There are lots of pool to chill inside and one of them in outside which is the coolest one! For 3 hours cost is 17 euro around, I paid in January 2020. They give a bracelet for entrance and locker to put your stuff safely. Only one thing was really annoying if you go there really busy time, after bathing when you’re exiting from the place you need to wait in the line to give your bracelet and for payment! It’s horrible system which I saw first time in my entirely life! Why they’re not taking money at the entrance and putting a box to want us to put bracelets... I didn’t expect from Germany sorry but disappointed.
