I like this place. The islands are reachable by the ships. The ships are affordable and allow dogs. Big dogs travel for a fee of 3 Euros and small dogs can go for free. a good place to take a quick dip and cool down. Absolutely loved it.

This is the best place to get a ride on the ferry over to the island. This company has lots of boats and a great schedule. Can visit the palace and the smaller Islands or go across to the far side. You can purchase a ticket for one destination or all. Reasonable rates.

Expensive ride 12€ for shortest trip. I would ask them to consider the pricing for the low frequency of boats available.

This is a beautiful spot. The scenery is simply stunning. This lake is an awesome place to visit. There is a veil of bucolic idyll that covers the whole place. It is an incredibly picturesque sight. Should you be in the area, definitely make a visit to the lake a top priority. There is a regular ferry service and there are plenty of places where you can go hiking or cycling. Definitely, a must visit destination!
E K — Google review
a well organised boat comoany, trips around the island every 30min. covered on the top from sun heat, restaurant inside the boats with reasonable prices and the trip is with 14.5€ combined with the train ticket to the shores. the view from the Boat around the bavarian island is something from another level.

I visited Chiemsee Lake, that is a beautiful lake located in Bavaria, Germany. It's often referred to as the "Bavarian Sea" due to its size and popularity among tourists and locals alike. The lake is surrounded by picturesque landscapes and is home to two islands, Herreninsel and Fraueninsel, both of which are accessible by boat and offer attractions such as historic palaces and monasteries.

Neues Schloss Herrenchiemsee

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Neues Schloss Herrenchiemsee, located on the Herreninsel in Chiemsee, was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria and modeled after Versailles. The palace, which began construction in 1878, is a grand homage to absolutist monarchy. Despite being intended as a residence for the king, he spent only 10 days there and was rarely seen. The palace's design reflects Ludwig's romantic obsessions and vivid imagination.
Absolutely stunning Castle built by King Ludwig II located on a beautiful island in Bavaria. The palace tour we took was amazing. Our tour was in English and our guide was terrific. Extremely knowledgeable on the history of the castle. She was very friendly and spoke perfect English. The castle rooms were spectacular. The two bedrooms are out of this world in terms of its decor. It is amazing that 2/3 of this castle are still not completed. King Ludwig barely stayed here before he died. The castle grounds are perfectly manicured. Several beautiful fountains. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the outdoors. The walk around the grounds was very peaceful. We took the train from the main train station and the boat across to the castle. We had a perfect day out and loved our visit. Highly recommend visiting this majestic castle.

Spectacular visit to this Schloss -- really needs half a day. The ferry ride across the See is pleasant and calm, the breezes are refreshing on a warm summer day. Great to learn the history and experience the charm of this beautiful setting.
D. G — Google review
Fabulous palace on an island in Lake Chiemsee. This is a great place to see the extravagance of Ludwig II. It offers a peak into his obsession with French royalty and his lavish tastes. The palace and gardens are fantastic. (No photos allowed inside, which is a bummer.)
Alex L — Google review
Magnificent, and rich interiors. If the king hadn't lived in his dream project for more than a handful days, so does it not deserve to be visited more than once in my life time. Palace guided Tour is about 40 minutes. No photography allowed strictly! This is what I didn't like the most. It's worth the hype and not worth the hype at the same time. Museum is also interesting visit
Viplava C — Google review
Palace looks big, but only 1/3 of it was finished and is available for visitors. Removing 1 star for a strict no-pictures policy. The mountain view is beautiful ❤️
Valeriia L — Google review
Lake Helen Kim Palace is a magnificent palace modeled after the Palace of Versailles in France. It is a Baroque building. In winter, flocks of geese and ducks graze on the lake, and strolling through the woods on the island offers stunning views of the vibrant autumn foliage.
Tim — Google review
You have to buy entry Ticket to see the interior Palace with a guide. Taking picture inside of d palace it's not allowed, just outside it's possible. You have to pay extra when u need to go to the 🚻 & it was not cheap!
Rosa S — Google review
This is a really pretty palace and a great history lesson for people who don’t know much about kind Ludwig II. The palace itself is whacky and lavish and the gardens, fountains, and exterior are beautiful and scenic. The island has some great walking paths and is a fun outing. The boat there and back also has pretty views and runs fairly consistently. Keep in mind that the price of the boat and the palace entrance/tour are a separate price, the palace ticket does give you access to quite a bit though. The only reason it’s a 4 star review is that you can’t take pictures inside the palace which is a little disappointing but not a huge deal. Overall this is a great stop but does take some time.

I absolutely love this island, the houses and their garden are beautiful, lots of flowers and of course lots of places to have coffee or lunch, casual or more fancy whatever you like. There are also little stores and the covent to see. The lake is beautiful, you can feed the ducks, there's a playground for the kids so plenty to do for the whole family or a romantic day for a couple. I recommend going!!

(Translated by Google) Really a beautiful church, I often came here to pray during my time in Wasserburg. Great praise also to the pastor, I really enjoyed the church services and the sermons. You can tell that you live with enthusiasm for Jesus and want to bring Jesus out into the world, which is exactly what the church needs! I was only in Wasserburg for a few months and I will definitely miss the services and the beautiful church. (Original) Wirklich eine wunderschöne Kirche, ich bin in meiner Zeit in Wasserburg oft hierher zum beten gekommen. Großes Lob auch an den Pfarrer, die Gottesdienste und die Predigten haben mir sehr gut gefallen. Man merkt, dass Sie mit Begeisterung für Jesus leben und Jesus hinaus in die Welt tragen wollen, genau das ist es, was die Kirche braucht! Ich war nur für ein paar Monate in Wasserburg und ich werde die Gottesdienste und die schöne Kirche definitiv vermissen.

Dual-tier, 75-meter waterfall with trails to top & bottom viewpoints, plus a cafe at the entrance.
I visited Golling Waterfall yesterday with a friend, and it was an amazing experience. The place is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature and very peaceful. The waterfall itself is stunning—powerful, refreshing, and a great spot to relax or take photos. The sound of the water and the cool mist make it a perfect escape from the usual hustle. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy nature and scenic spots. Highly recommended
Gulfam H — Google review
We visited after a really rainy day and it was the best experience! The waterfall was full of water and we got to see the real force of water. Would definitely recommend to visit after a good rain to get the best views. Don't forget to bring waterproof clothes and a hat as you can get wet. I think it was worth the price(7€ for adults, 5€ for students and 5€ for parking).
Dora K — Google review
Highly recommended! Important info- 5€ for parking, and an entry fee- we paid 15€ for a family ticket. Worth every penny! The waterfall is beautiful, very impressive and high. 5 min walk from the parking to the entry,and another 5-10 min to the waterfall. Easy walk. Don't skip on the upper view, another section of the waterfal that isn't visible from below.
Sivan P — Google review
Strongly recommend. Parking is approx. 600 meters from the entrance gate. The main waterfall is located 300 m from the main gate, but you must visit the top of the waterfall where you feel the water, cold and strong of the nature.

Untersberg

Nature & Parks
Mountains
Untersberg, a majestic massif straddling the German-Austrian border, offers an unforgettable experience for nature enthusiasts. The Untersberg cable car provides a thrilling journey from the base station near Grodig to the mountain's summit. The panoramic views from the cable car showcase the breathtaking Alps, Salzburg, and even parts of Bavaria on clear days. For those who prefer not to hike extensively, this is an ideal option as it swiftly transports visitors almost to the top.
We took a public Bus 25 and ended straight in front of the Mountain cable car (Untersbergbahn GmbH). You can buy the cable car ticket from their office counter on the day itself. Beautiful scenic view on its way up. Price €34 There are Restaurants for you to chill and enjoy the panorama of Austria and Germany. Plus you can either do a short trek or a long trek and it’s up to individual. There are ravens flying around. They looked pretty hungry, just be ware of your food. Lolx The best panorama views I had seen so far in my trip.
Michelle K — Google review
Climbed October 10. Weather was quite bad but we could tell it is a really nice mountain. If it's rainy watch your step since it can get slippery. It is not that long of a hike anyway. We made the ascent in 3hrs 20 mins and we are of average fitness
Mac — Google review
A must see and do in Salzburg. The cable car to the top is quite amazing. But what you do there is up to you. There are trails for the intrepid to come up on their own steam and you will have lots of company. Don’t forget your hiking boots and sticks. And check the weather- it might be better to be flexible if you have the time. If you are doing 2 activities or more in Salzburg check out the Salzburg card beforehand. It includes the cable car but also public transport from the train station and quite sure the airport too.
Sanjiv T — Google review
You may use Salzburg card to take the cable car ride, or purchase tickets before ride €34 for round trip. Long or short trek totally depends on your preferences. View on top are stunning and breathtaking 😍
Biz U — Google review
This was an amazing experience. We visited on Sunday 25th June 2023. We took bus 25 from Salzburg train station. It was a beautiful and scenic bus ride. The Untersberg is the last bus stop. We bought 2 up and down (return) tickets for €56. The cable cars run frequently, every 15 minutes. The staff got in the car and shut the door, and off we went. It takes approximately 8 minutes to get to the top of the mountain. It gets bumpy when you get to the cable stations. The views are amazing. I was scared but I totally enjoyed it. When we got to the mountain, we walked up to the top of the mountain where there is a big cross. We could see the top of other mountains, and had a clear view of the city of Salzburg. We even saw a plane take off. The view from the top is amazing, the air is so clean and fresh. It was totally worth it. I fully recommend this experience.
Fantastic A — Google review
My visit to Untersberg in 2018 left me in awe of its majestic beauty and provided an adventurous escape into nature. While I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, I would give it a solid four-star rating. Untersberg's breathtaking landscapes, towering peaks, and lush greenery presented a picturesque setting that was truly awe-inspiring. The panoramic views of the surrounding Salzburg region were simply breathtaking, making it a paradise for nature enthusiasts and hikers. The cable car ride to the summit was a thrilling adventure in itself. The ascent offered sweeping vistas and a sense of anticipation for what awaited at the top. However, I would have appreciated more information or commentary during the journey to enhance the overall experience. Exploring the trails and paths on Untersberg was a delight. The well-maintained routes catered to varying fitness levels, allowing visitors to choose between leisurely walks or more challenging hikes. The tranquility of the natural surroundings and the invigorating mountain air offered a welcome respite from city life. The staff at Untersberg were friendly and helpful, providing guidance and recommendations for the best hiking routes. Their expertise and willingness to assist added value to the visit. While Untersberg's natural beauty was undoubtedly its highlight, I found the lack of amenities and facilities slightly disappointing. Limited dining options and restroom facilities could be inconvenient for visitors, especially those planning to spend a significant amount of time exploring the area. In summary, Untersberg is a nature lover's paradise, offering stunning vistas and exciting hiking opportunities. The cable car ride and the majestic landscapes are highlights that make the journey worthwhile. However, a more informative experience during the cable car ride and improved amenities would have elevated the overall visit. Nonetheless, I highly recommend Untersberg to those seeking a memorable outdoor adventure and a chance to immerse themselves in the wonders of nature.

Fortress
Museums
Perched on a hilltop with commanding views of the city and the Alps, Fortress Hohensalzburg is an impressive 11th-century complex that draws in over 1.4 million visitors annually. To avoid the crowds, it's best to arrive early and take a glass funicular or embark on a steep 20-minute walk up Festungsgasse in the Old Town to reach this iconic landmark.
Great view but you need to pay extra to go to the tower (which we didn’t). Still absolutely worth visiting while you’re in Salzburg. You can skip the line if you buy or get tickets upfront (we got them from our hotel).
Stevo T — Google review
Very nice fortress overlooking the city of Salzburg. You get some magnificent view from up there. You also have the opportunity to got to the top of the fortress and get a full 360 degree view of the region. They have some nice museums and displays inside the fortress. Definitely worth it to spend some good amount of time. Even if you are here for short time, it would recommend 1.5hr just to walk through the entire area.
Anand — Google review
Bought the entrance and funicular train ticket and it's a enjoyable trip up the hill to the castle. Plenty of stuff to see in the fortress and also great view of Salzburg city from the top of the castle. Really beautiful scenery and we don't want to leave but had to rush to find the train station as we need to catch the 12pm Hallstatt tour.
Ai C — Google review
We visited the Fortress Hohensalzburg and had a memorable experience. We didn’t know about the funicular to go up, so we walked all the way — a great cardio workout and a nice way to enjoy the surroundings. 🏰 The fortress itself is beautiful and very well preserved, offering a fascinating glimpse into Salzburg’s history. The museum inside is truly impressive, with excellent exhibits that make the visit even more enriching. 🌄 The highlight, however, is the breathtaking view from the top. Looking out over Salzburg and the surrounding mountains is simply unforgettable. ✅ Overall, Fortress Hohensalzburg is a must-see attraction in Salzburg. Whether you take the funicular or walk up, the combination of history, architecture, and stunning scenery makes it well worth the visit.
Fabiano D — Google review
Truly beautiful, must see spot in Salzburg. Definitely recommend the panaromic view from the fortress tower. We unfortunately hadn’t visited neither the museum nor the armory, but we enjoyed it anyway. We really appreciated the stand where we could get for ourselves some Glühwein and simply enjoy the beautiful night view.

This is a fascinating site. There are many things to see in this historic place. Be prepared for some step climbing to get the very best views. We enjoyed learning all the history about the Fortress. There are rooms full of interesting items dating from ancient times to modern life.

Amazing castle and exhibition. Everything is modern, interactive and multisensory. Truly a nice example of the basic of how exhibitions today should look like. Plus the ticket's price is also very okay. 100% recommend buying tickets in advance though, there was a super long queue when buying on the spot.

Salzburg Cathedral, with its twin spires and baroque-style architecture, is a monumental symbol of the city's religious significance and historical wealth. The cathedral houses a museum that displays sacred treasures, adding to its allure. The building has undergone several reconstructions over the centuries, with the current structure showcasing early Baroque ecclesiastical architecture at its finest. Visitors are captivated by the towering facade and turquoise domes of this 17th-century marvel.
The inside of this cathedral is absolutely stunning. The walls and ceilings are bathed in rich and intricate detail and the ceiling has eye catching murals and statues. It truly is something to see and worth a bit of your time in Salzburg. It doesn’t take long to just pop in and admire. I would encourage visitors to wear appropriate clothing and act appropriately considering this is a church.

Beautiful cathedral!! Entrance fee is a modest 5 Euros. Once inside be sure to check out the underground in the far back left (facing the altar). Also there’s a giant metal structure where Mozart was baptized as a child (see in my photos)
Colton W — Google review
Beautiful large cathedral with high ceiling and open space. We got lucky as a small group of musicians were performing which allowed the music to echo throughout the cathedral which made for a peaceful ambiance. I would highly recommend visiting this place.
Anand — Google review
Just amazing! The Cathedral has a unique architecture and we also booked ourselves for an organ concert. Every day at noonafter the 12 o'clock bells there is an organ concert. It's preferable you book your place. The player changed the organs and during half hour he played different pieces to three different organs. A must do activity in Salzburg.

Nice cathedral and need 5 euro entrance ticket. We were here on the first day of Rupertikirtag festival, so the stalls and other activities are just starting to kick off the festivities. From here we walk to the Festung Hohensalzburg gate to buy the cable car ticket.

The Salzburg Cathedral is a breathtaking Baroque masterpiece in the heart of the Old Town. Its grand façade, elegant dome, and beautifully decorated interior create a peaceful and inspiring atmosphere. The cathedral’s historic organ, once played by Mozart, and its stunning frescoes make it a true cultural gem. Surrounded by the charming Domplatz and views of the Hohensalzburg Fortress, it’s a must-see landmark that perfectly captures Salzburg’s beauty and history.

Totally worth the time to collect oneself inside out of the cold for a few private moments in prayer. An amazing dome and frescos are amazing showing of the Passion of Christ. - Jesus, show me the path of life!
Douglas B — Google review
An absolutely beautiful church! This stands out from many of the other churches we’d seen because of the stunning black and white design that makes the paintings pop. The organ was also beautiful. There is an entrance fee but the discount with the Salzburg card brings it down to €3.5 per person.

Mozart's Birthplace

History Museums
Mozart's Birthplace, also known as Mozarts Geburtshaus, is a significant historical site in Salzburg. The yellow townhouse was where Wolfgang Mozart, one of the most influential composers in history, was born and lived for 17 years. Today, it operates as a house museum offering tours that provide insights into Mozart's early life. Visitors can explore three floors filled with personal belongings, musical instruments, family portraits, and other important items related to Mozart.
Mozart’s Birthplace Museum is a must-visit in the heart of Salzburg. With the Salzburg Card, entry is free and quick, making it very convenient. The museum offers wonderful insights into Mozart’s life, his family, and his works, with many fascinating details on display. A free app with an audio guide is available, which makes the visit even more engaging and informative. One of the highlights is a special room where instruments are built into the floor—when you walk across it, music begins to play. If you’re visiting with others, it creates a truly delightful and interactive experience. Overall, a well-curated museum that brings Mozart’s story to life in the city where it all began.

A must-see in Salzburg. It was fascinating to visit the birthplace of the great musician. The museum houses many of the musician's personal belongings, his musical instruments, and much more. Be sure to use the Mozart Museums Salzburg App as your guide.

Great museum and tribute to Mozart. Informative displays with historical significance. I really like that the museum has a QR code you can scan and have a self guided tour simply with your own phone. We were there on a Sunday and it was not over crowded. They have a few public restrooms also available. The gift shop is very nice and inviting. I highly recommend it.
Debbie M — Google review
The museum collection is quite simple, and tickets can be purchased in advance on the website. When we asked the ticket counter staff about an audio guide, the lady said there wasn’t one — but upon entering, we discovered there is actually a free app to download. The staff didn’t seem very professional, and although the museum mentions having one of the largest collections from the Mozart Association, to be honest, the value for money felt quite low. Also, the weather was very hot, and it felt like a sauna inside the museum.
Penny N — Google review
Nice, but definitely wouldn't go back. A fine visit for a rainy day, but if you have other things to do, this can be skipped. It would have been a bit nicer if they had some of Mozart's music playing as you visit the rooms.

Located on Getreidegasse in Salzburg’s Old Town, Mozart’s Birthplace is a fascinating stop for anyone interested in classical music and history. The house where Mozart was born in 1756 has been converted into a well-curated museum displaying his original instruments, family portraits, and letters, giving a personal insight into his early years. The museum is open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Ticket prices are €15 for adults, €12 for students under 27, seniors, and groups, €5 for youth (15–18 years), €4.50 for children (6–14 years), and €30 for families. Entry is free for children under six, people with disabilities, and Salzburg Card holders. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds, especially during summer. It’s a short yet enriching experience that captures the essence of Mozart’s genius and Salzburg’s musical heritage.

We were very excited to visit the home place of Mozart whilst staying in Salzburg as I am a big fan, however I have to say we were not very impressed for few reasons.. 1 Overcrowded, feels like you can't enjoy the place without having 10/15 Japanese on your shoulder coughing and sneezing you in the face.. 2 The interactive section was poorly presented, they should modernize it a bit.. 3 Too expensive for what they offer. Happy to have done it, but wouldn't return.

Mirabell Palace

Mentioned on

Castle
Nature & Parks
Mirabell Palace, a 17th-century architectural gem located in Salzburg, is renowned for its ornamental gardens and opulent interior. The palace was featured in the iconic film 'The Sound of Music,' with its gardens serving as the backdrop for memorable scenes. Built by Archbishop Wolf Dietrich in 1606 and later redesigned in Baroque style, the palace boasts exquisite interior decorations including stucco and wall paintings.
Mirabell Palace is absolutely stunning and a must-see in Salzburg. The palace itself is elegant, but the real highlight is the Mirabell Gardens — beautifully maintained with colorful flower beds, sculptures, and fountains that make it feel like you’ve stepped into a fairytale. The view looking through the gardens towards the fortress is breathtaking and perfect for photos. It’s free to enter the gardens, and they’re easy to walk through, so it’s a great stop even if you’re short on time. If you visit in spring or summer, the flowers are in full bloom and the atmosphere is magical. Music lovers will also appreciate that some of the “Sound of Music” scenes were filmed here. Highly recommend visiting in the morning before the crowds arrive — it’s peaceful, romantic, and unforgettable.
Andrew H — Google review
The gardens are magnificent. Symmetry and colors are combined in beautiful compositions. Access to the gardens is free. The palace itself is also free, but there is nothing to see. Access is only to the staircase, which is magnificent, but it is disappointing that there is no access to the halls. We only managed to peek into one.

Even in late October, without all the flowers, the gardens are well kept and beautiful. I’m a huge fan of the dwarf garden! Very fun, though not PC (bc history is not PC) statues in there! Worth a walk through and FREE. The only part of the palace that was accessible was the marble staircase area—I believe it had a real name. Pretty, but the gardens are better!

Even though it was rainy a lot, the sculptures at the outskirts of the palace and the gardens inside were pretty. The cobblestone ground was a bit swampy and uncomfortable to walk, but anyway I bet it'd be fascinating to revisit there on sunny days.

Medieval pilgrimage church housing an elaborately clothed Black Madonna statue from the 1300s.
Such a beautiful church with a lot of history! Seeing all the picture stories of the miracles, prayers on paper stuck in between the pictures was touching. People still come and visit and pray. Inside, no photos are allowed obviously, but it was very moving. Seeing the Black Madonna was a beautiful moment. We also walked inside the nearby church as well and and it was absolutely beautiful and stunning inside! Definitely worth the stop, full of history in this town, and beautiful!!

The miraculous shrine of the black Madonna and the oldest Maria shrine in germany, also refers to as Lourdes of Germany. honoured by the visit of two popes, many offerings (metal hearts, artifacts, portraits) are hanged on the walls. this is the center of Bavarian faith and truly a place of great beauty.

Jobin M — Google review
This is truly a Marina jewel and the Marian heart of Bavaria, including the centuries old Gnadekapelle which is the centrally located and small, somewhat darkly lit (but a gorgeous candlelight type of dark!) chapel with the primary object of focus and now ancient Madonna and Child statue which has had an impressive number of miracles, both those proven and those not officially proven attributed to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Jesus through it. I have 2 pictures of the the Grandekapelle and also others of the much larger Stiftspfarrkirche which stands adjacent to the Gnadekapelle. It is also simply exhilarating to stand in the Kapellplatz (Chapel Square) and take in the southern German views. The entire shrine has abundant areas within which to pray and reflect as well as opportunities nearby to do some Catholic religious goods shopping for devotional objects and holy souvenirs. I have now twice been here, and it is a peaceful and reflective experience. May your journey there be blessed!

The park is nice for being outdated. prices are a little steep for what is offered at the park. Customer service, some of the workers there really need to understand that if they work with people they need to have a little bit of people skills, specially that dude working at the outdoor go karts. Smoking in the park should not be allowed as there are a lot of kids walking around at adult hand height and can be burned by the cigarettes, it happened to us. A no smoking park can be controlled by the owners, have a designated smoking section, just like other places do. Overall it was a good experience, updated areas could make the park more attractive, prices could be a little lower for the amount of rides.
Richard M — Google review
Great place for kids aged 4-12. The rides were really perfect for our 5 and 9 year old kids. Not too boring, not too scary, but a perfect fit. Plus, there's two bumper car rides (in German: autoscooter). You don't have to pay and wait for the ride to start, but grab a car and join. I also like the atmosphere in the park. It is a little bit older, but very attractive and down-to-earth.
Thorsten H — Google review
Children over 3 y/o even tho under 1m still have to buy tickets even though there aren't many rides where they can get on due to height restriction --> unfair pricing. Prices are too high for what is offered (very few rides, dirty bathrooms, ...) --> NOT recommended. Some employees seem not particularly friendly (this is an understatement)

We were there with our 2 year old. Its very huge park with many many rides and attractions. It has something for everyone. I was surprised to see how many rides for 2 year old are allowed, some of them were even bit risky, but you will have plenty to enjoy. Its has rides, spielplatz, sandbox, indoor speilplatz, waterpark so just name it. Food from restaurant is very tasty with many options. Ticket of 28 euros is worth. Parking is free and plenty. Now on other side park is really dated. You can see the age on everything so dont expect something which is in mint condition or very well preserved. They need to prepare some shades its literally open ground and on sunny summer day its really hard to find relaxing space. Like park, its employess too need some refresher course on how to be in hospitality industry as some of them seems to be not so friendly. Food takes 30 minutes to prepare due to high demand and only 1 kitchen. Overall its park in its old age and deserves one visit. I wanted to give it 3 stars but 4 th star is for its variety and inclusivity of all age groups.

One of the best amusement parks , especially for you family with 3yr old kid. All the rides are enjoyable. We visited on Monday and enjoyed fullest. Service is friendly. People can spend 3-5 hrs. Many kid friendly rides and designed for kids. Go for it if you go near by. Update: 14May2022 3rd time in the park as we love it. But this time on a Saturday, the park is little busy. There is some waiting time for Dashing Cars, Go-cart, and water rafting ride. The Park closes at 5PM. Other rides are ok. So, don't go on weekend.

2020 - Nice, especially for kids under 12. 2022 - We was back this year and a little has changed. A lot of attractions are managed by young guys or girls: once they start the machines they keep on watching the celly phone instead of the kids, they even seem to be working. This happened a lot of times. To the owner: be careful of the security of your guests and take a look of the workers always playing with telephones.

I rarely give 5 stars to anywhere but this place is fabulous. Top sight in Klatovy. It’s very modern with good explanatory information. A few video reels as well. The mummies are amazing. Most preserved I’ve ever seen a yet in the world. As they explain, it’s natural mummification because of the hot dry atmosphere. A must see in Klatovy. Unfortunately I can’t post pictures of the mummies because it’s not allowed by Google. Same as art that shows nudity. Art censorship

Adrian P — Google review
Nestled in the picturesque town of Cheb, Chebský Hrad stands as a testament to the grandeur of medieval architecture and the historical significance of the region. This stunning castle, dating back to the 13th century, is not only a remarkable sight but also a vital piece of Czech history. As you approach the castle, its towering walls and intricate stonework draw you in, inviting exploration. Inside, visitors can wander through its well-preserved chambers, learning about the castle's storied past and its role in local lore. The exhibits showcase artifacts and displays that narrate the tales of the noble families that once resided within its walls. Beyond the historical allure, the castle also offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Climbing to the castle's ramparts rewards visitors with sweeping vistas of Cheb and the lush countryside beyond. This vantage point is perfect for photography enthusiasts looking to capture the beauty of the region. The surrounding gardens provide a serene escape, ideal for a leisurely stroll or a peaceful moment of reflection. Chebský Hrad is not just a castle; it’s a cultural hub where history comes alive. Regular events, including guided tours and exhibitions, allow visitors to engage with the castle's rich heritage. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or simply in search of a unique experience, Chebský Hrad promises a memorable journey through time in a stunning setting.

The Palatium itself is beautiful and historically fascinating, but I was deeply disturbed to see live birds of prey tied on short ropes as part of an exhibition.

It's a nice place to visit. Lots of information and views. If you have a dog, you can only walk on the grounds but not go inside the buildings.

It is a nice castle to visit but better if you speak czech or german as it is mainly in those two languages. The view from the tower is really nice and I wish there would have been one from the mill.

Fountain
Sights & Landmarks
The Singing Fountain, also known as Zpivajici Fontana, is a popular tourist attraction featuring over 250 water jets that dance to classical and popular music. Lit up after dark, the fountain offers seasonal displays with hourly performances throughout the day and evening. Built as part of the reconstruction of the Maxim Gorky Promenade in the 1980s, this architectural marvel was designed by Pavel Miksik and features specially composed music by Petr Hapka.
This fountain, embedded in the spa gardens, is uniquely magnificent and touching. It comes to life every odd hour, plays music and creates a unique water display. We were completely amazed and blown away. The flowers and the harmonious planting of the promenade and of course the Kursaal are also very worth seeing. One of the most magnificent spa towns I have ever seen.

Fancy little kiosks in the source drink hall, cash point, great body care natural products for a gift, historical reference source beautifully presented with a modern interior. All we missed was a proper restaurant nearby: only coffee, ice cream and maybe minor snacks don’t fit the beautiful view - where is a great lunch/dinner place nearby if it s not in one of the hotels which do not offer the view????

Iconic and yet very gorgeous colonnade which represents the whole Marienbad. It is very similar like Carlsbad colonnade and what is very cute, that u can feel, that it is feminine-like architecture in its form and architectural accent. It is not worse nor bad, it is simply Marienbad icon, which represents the character of this place. The only thing which is bit sad is the flooring, which should be reconstructed and changed to some marble, limestone or other much higher quality material that will last. But by the end of the day, still beautiful.

Castle Blatná

Manor house
Sights & Landmarks
Medieval water castle with towers & turrets, plus extensive grounds home to fallow deer & a cafe.
Beautiful place for a day. Feed the deer (buy feed at the entrance or bring appropriate food) Kids have fun in the park and alos if you can find some exhibitions within the grounds Walk around the town centre, grab some quick bites or enjoy a meal at the local restaurant ( note that most shops are closed on Sunday)

Just one hour away Prague Just a little over an hour from Prague, easily reachable by car or train, you’ll find a beautiful castle and park perfect for the whole family. Blatná Castle is one of the best-preserved water castles in the Czech Republic, once owned by the noble Rožmitál and Hildprandt families. Surrounded by a 42-hectare park with freely roaming deer and peacocks, it’s a charming year-round destination, and with a cozy café right at the castle (and several nearby), it’s definitely worth a stop.
Cirrus S — Google review
Nice place for a weekend entertainment. Medieval castle and a big forest/park with many deers, alpacas and peacocks. Previously, it was possible to feed the deers and they were walking on the yard closer to the castle, but now they are located mainly in the forest and not coming close to the people.
Sergey S — Google review
Great experience, especially with kids. The deers were very friendly and kept coming to us. Bring them carrots and they will never leave you alone. There is food to be bought there but it ran out quickly and it was never filled up again.

Blatná park is a beautiful and peaceful place for a walk. I really liked the mix of nature and history, with old trees, little streams, and freely roaming deer. It feels spacious and never too crowded. The only downside is that access with a stroller or wheelchair is limited to one entrance. Overall, it’s a great spot to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

Plzeň Zoo is a must-visit destination for animal lovers, offering the chance to see a diverse range of species in a beautiful setting. The zoo is home to 1300 animals, including rhinos, cheetahs, hippos, and many more. It's known for its breeding program and conservation efforts, particularly for endangered species like the maneless zebra.
This is an amazing zoo. I’ve never seen a white kangaroo before. So many lions. It’s huge, we spent almost 4,5 hours there. Would recommend to use the ticket machines, very easy to use and faster than the cash desks.

The Pilsen Zoo is one of the best in the Czech Republic. The territory is very large, well-maintained, and green — perfect for walks. The collection of animals, reptiles, insects, and plants is impressive and diverse, making it interesting for both adults and children. There are playgrounds, convenient infrastructure, cafés, and small shops. A great place for a family day out.

Great non crowed zoo. The place was clean and lots of things to do. It was my first time at any zoo that I have seen lions ans bears up close and active. They also have a great Dinosaur park, you have to pay extra but overall very affordable.
Daniel P — Google review
Despite the rain, this zoo visit was absolutely worth it! The living and maintenance conditions for the animals’ welfare are a huge plus. The zoo is spacious, clean, and well-organized for both visitors and animals. Besides admiring various animals, it’s also very informative and educational. There are plenty of toilets and resting spots to enjoy a snack. It’s a very large zoo, and you’ll need almost half a day to see everything. I couldn’t see it all, but that just invited me to come back again. On all points, a well-deserved 5 stars!

Dobroiu M — Google review
I have visited zoo's across many countries. This one is an average one. No elephants and the setup for the animals too is not so great. The only highlight would be the lions at the entrance. So I would prefer visiting other ones like an actual biopark rather than zoo that has very less animals. It will not take more than 2 hours to cover entire place. Not sure why others have quoted that it takes more time!!
Anil P — Google review
Very good experience overall. The Dino park is very childish and small and is only good for children but it is very expensive. Don't waste your money for the Dino park. The zoo is beautiful and has lots of snack bars around. Quite big and we needed about 5 hours plus as there are many many animals to admire. The lemurs are the best as they roam freely around you. That alone got our money back which is very fun! The birds look the most unhealthy in the zoo as the cages have been built too low. The birds are not able to fly at all. The leopard mother is very fierce but her 2 cubs are extremely adorable. Recommended to go if you are in that area!
M T — Google review
It is a very nice zoo. We love giraffes and lions and tigers! The most awesome, though, we find the dinosaurs! The food at the dinopark was not very good, we will try some other place next time. The toilets were clean and easy to find.

The Cathedral of St. Bartholomew, a Gothic masterpiece located on Republic Square, is a prominent feature in the historical center of Pilsen. Inside, visitors can admire the renowned Pilsen Madonna on the main altar, representing Czech Gothic art. Outside the cathedral, a small metal-forged angel is believed to make wishes come true with a touch. The cathedral's tower offers stunning views of the surrounding region and holds the distinction of being the tallest church tower in the Czech Republic.
It is stunning gothic cathedral as a central point of the main square. You should not and can not miss to visit it. It is even more beautiful inside then outside. Church tower is 103 meters high, making it the tallest one in Czech Republic. We did not manage to experience the view from the tower as we visited pretty late in the day so it was closed. Definitely recommend to stoo by.

The St. Bartholomew's Cathedral in Pilsen is a Gothic cathedral from the late 13th century, adorned with Renaissance paintings and boasting the tallest church tower in the Czech Republic. It is centrally located on the main square and is beautiful both on the outside and inside.

(Translated by Google) This over 400-year-old unique building has a beautiful Gothic portal. It was built in 1541 and was used until 1889, when a municipal water supply network was established in Pilzno. Until then, it powered four fountains in the corners of the square. The water tower operated on the principle of continuous vessels. The tower formed a continuous vessel with a fountain and a spring on the hill, which forced water into the fountains, often from quite a distance. The underground part of the building is currently part of an underground tourist route. The above-ground part serves as a multifunctional space with a contemporary art gallery and a museum dedicated to an important Pilsen family - Škoda. (Original) Ta ponad 400-letnia unikatowa budowla posiada ładny gotycki portal. Została zbudowana w 1541 roku i była użytkowana do 1889 roku, kiedy to w Pilźnie utworzono miejską sieć wodociągową. Do tego czasu zasilano z niego cztery fontanny w rogach placu. Wieża ciśnień działała na zasadzie naczyń ciągłych. Wieża tworzyła ciągłe naczynie z fontanną i źródłem na wzgórzu, dzięki czemu wtłaczała wodę do fontann, często z dość dużej odległości. Podziemna część budynku jest obecnie częścią podziemnej trasy turystycznej. Część nadziemna pełni funkcję wielofunkcyjnej przestrzeni, w której znajduje się galeria sztuki współczesnej oraz muzeum poświęcone ważnej rodzinie pilzneńskiej - Škody.

You will also visit the old part of the new one. And the best is the underground which is really big. And at the end, of course, a tasting of unfiltered Pilsen, which matures in underground barrels. And be sure to visit the souvenir shop. (Original) Veľmi pekný zážitok . Veľa z histórie prehliadka trvá cca hodinu . Prezentácia je ozaj spravená na úrovni a profesionálne . Navštívite aj starú časť novú . A najlepšie je to podzemie ktoré je naozaj veľké . A na konci samozrejne ochutnávka nefiltrovaneho Plzna ktorý zreje v sudoch v podzemí .

Beautiful views over the Vltava river. Gardens and you can even get on a boat tour here. You can Go from Orlík to Zvíkov on the boat. They do one way or round trips. A couple of cafes here at Orlík as well. And the village has great restaurants and cafe bars as well. I highly recommend this area. It is one of my favorites. Also, this is one of the Castles you can not take pics inside.

I really liked the castle and surrounding area. The tour inside the castle is guided only, which I'm not a fan of but I was told our guide was very good and made some nice jokes too. (I don't speak Czech, but of course information sheets are given out in other languages that explain the rooms, you just miss out on the jokes). No photos allowed inside the castle, but there are beautifully styled rooms, large collection of shotguns and deer antlers. Even one that was shot by Franz Ferdinand!

Impressive looking chateau from the outside, the central part now a hotel. Guided tours only of the chateau & old chateau (220kc/190kc) so nothing to see inside unless you take the tour. Gardens quite small & limited to the immediate area of old chateau (the hotel area is off limits). VERY narrow stone gate posts at main entrance only wide enough for a car. Anything large go to back entrance past police buildings, parking in front of house

Impressive chateau and hotel. You can walk around the outside and grounds for free, or take the guided tours with two options. We walked outside, very helpful staff took our photos very well. Steep paths and deep valley at the rear. Large main car park. There are two entrances from the road, one is only just wide enough for a car and great care is needed to avoid the pillars, our motorhome is 2.35m wide and wouldn’t pass through on the way out so we had to turn around. If it had been a busy day that would have caused chaos.

My husband and I spent nearly 2 weeks in the Czech Republic and Chateau Zbiroh was our favorite hotel. We have told several friends and family that they MUST include a stay at Chateau Zbiroh when they travel to the Czech Republic. We loved getting outside of the bigger cities and enjoying the serenity of the woods. We booked the Zámecké pokoje deluxe podkrovní Castle Rooms deluxe attic Breakfast & Dinner package. It included breakfast and dinner daily, an indoor tour of the chateau, and two 1-hour spa visits. We also opted to do the outdoor tour of the medieval part of the hotel. The lady who checked us in was so pleasant and friendly. The process was easy and seamless. The room was spacious. Windows could be open to let in fresh air. We had an AC unit but did not try it. There wasn't a shower, just a tub with a shower head and extendable hose (typical for Europe). The furniture was well-made and appropriate for a castle without feeling antiquated. There was a small mini-bar and fridge. No coffee maker, tea kettle, or ironing. Robes and slippers were provided. Free parking. For guests, parking was just outside the reception area. Our meals at Chateau Zbiroh were BY FAR THE BEST meals we ate during our nearly three week trip. I am salivating just thinking about the apple strudel and chocolate cake. At dinner our package enabled us to choose two dishes, any combo, for free. Drinks were extra. Breakfast was buffet style and plentiful. From pastries to cold cuts to eggs and bacon - there was plenty to choose from. Do yourself a favor -- if you don't buy the dinner package --- make sure you eat at the restaurant at least once. It is divine. The waitresses were very friendly and the customer service was top notch. The spa was a unique experience. My husband wasn't too excited about it but it was just us and situated in a really unique location. You can also order massage services (we didn't). The chateau tours were conducted in Czech but had English audio guides. The indoor tour was at 10:00 am. The Czech tour guide was excellent and we could tell she was giving a lot more information than on our audioguide. So that could probably be improved. The audio guide for the outdoor castle tour was excellent! I believe it was relatively new but it had a plethora of information and we didn't feel like we were missing out at all. We used our own cell phones (so make sure to have your own headphones). It worked off the castle wifi as I didn't have cell service abroad. The outdoor tour is seasonal and was at 11:00 am and 3:00 pm. There are several walking paths through the woods around the castle. We loved taking morning and evening strolls. It felt like we were in a fairy tale.

Zbiroh Castle is a true gem of Central Bohemia. Entry to the grounds is paid: visitors are charged 30 CZK for access to the garden. Photography inside the castle is prohibited, so it's best to enjoy the atmosphere in person — the largest privately owned chateau in the Czech Republic has over 200 rooms, a deep well (163 m!), and the oldest tower in Bohemia. The grounds include a hotel, a medieval-style restaurant, and souvenir shops. Especially impressive are exhibitions linked to Alfons Mucha and the Templars. It’s a place where history, legend, and comfort meet. Even without photos, you can feel the powerful energy of this fortress of three emperors.

Truly incredible and beautiful castle which is within an hour from Prague without the traffic. We had amazing time a day trip. In the castle you have options depending on your interest and time availability. We took 100 minutes which was in czech language the tour included the whole castle. There is the shorter version too I think 45 minutes. Our tour guide Libor was full of interesting stories, facts and pure history. It was very informative and educating and many things to see inside the castle. Totally worth it and the time passed quickly. Many thanks to him. The castle has few options: shops with wooden decorations, gingerbread, souvenirs, cafe shop and restaurant. The best part was that it was not busy at all, very relaxing atmosphere. Attaching photos and videos from my personal experience. Enjoy 😊

When you arrive at the location you are required to take a guide. Everything would be fine, except the guide only speaks the local language, Czech, so you don’t understand anything at all and they refuse to speak English. As if that weren’t enough, you are forced to follow them, you cannot visit on your own. The castle is empty, it has no furniture at all, just empty halls. All in all, DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE – the staff are hostile and the location has nothing worthwhile to see.

This is a very old castle, very well preserved. Off course because of the fires it was rebuilt multiple times. You can enter and have a Czech visit. Or you can scan a qr-code and download a pdf with translation. But the translation does not have so much details like the guide gives I recommend to visit and hike in the area around.

The first impression of any business are its employees. Not all of us speak Czech, so we asked the host to tell us the rules in English and her answer was just NO. I would maybe understand if she said I am sorry I don't speak English or tried to find help or use google translate or anything really, but her answer was just plane NO. Fortunately we had people in our team who understood some Czech. Just wondering what would happened if we didn't have a native speaker in our team. She was so eager to tell the rules as fast as possible and to go back to her post. As for the games we spent around 4 hours playing and still it wasn't enough to finish everything. There were so many games, some of them very physical and not so easy, so you would need more then few atempts

Took a group of 40 students here. The staff just didn't seem to care, they gave us written instructions and walked away. The lunch selections were poor, and they expected the students to serve themselves, not very realistic! Teachers ended up serving the food. There was never any communication from the staff to the students about who had won, or any follow up to the game itself. Long way to go for nothing too interesting

Great experience, many challenging rooms, and each requiring little different set of skills. We had a lot of fun during competing the other teams. It was worth the travel to the quite detached location. Only issue was that we didn't fully understood the rules before the game and had to repeat the first room several times before understanding how to correctly initiate the game and how to finish. So learn all before not to loose time as the game is paid by play time. Recommended.

Love this castle! Went with some family friends when visiting the Czech Republic to visit family. I’ve been in the past as a little kid also and I always love it.

A really beautiful and lovely medieval castle with a rich history. It is quite a walk uphill from the train station or the car park, but it is definitely worth it: the castle is just amazing. You can visit the courtyard for free, but you can enter the castle only with the guided tour. I recommend to buy the tickets in advance, as it is likely they will sell out at least in peak season.

Tour of CZK300 per person for Charles IV apartment, went on November weekend but wasn’t too crowded (was able to get tickets upon arrival for a tour starting in 10 min). Note chapel is closed in winter and that’s the main attraction here. The tour wasn’t very informative about the history and felt a little rushed - would be okay to skip. The view of castle is very nice on the walk up from village and castle grounds are quite nice too (even the free accessible parts). Took about 45 min-1 hour each way from Prague + 30 min walking between village and castle.

Nice castle. You can take the train S7 from Prague main station to this castle. Which runs every 30 minutes during most of the day. The train station is just a 7 minute walk from the beautiful high street of the tiny town, with many f&b option. The street then leads to the steep incline to the castle, and it’s a 10 minute walk - lots of children make it up as well - so shouldn’t be an issue. The views from the castle are brilliant. There is a short 5 minute video with English subtitles being played in a small room below the visitor center and it is interesting. Recommended…!

First time doing a level 3 tour (small group of 6, all family members) that allowed us to see the castle in its entirety and on much more personal level. It was about 3 hours long. We had tickets bought in advance, online, no wait to get in.

I loved Karlštejn. The castle has an amazing history. Yours are both in English and in Czech. All the staff at the castle was super friendly and we even made friends with the local blacksmith. We had a really lovely time and highly recommend the castle as just outside of Prague adventure.

There is designated paid parking and transport at a cost up to the castle. Although steep at times you can walk through the town and shops up to the castle, we drove up and walked down. There are various guided tours with different sections of the castle. Book in advance to plan your trip if you want to do more than one tour. More shops operate during peak season in summer. A few shops where open, October. Would recommend the Snack Place for something to eat and drink, with a view of the castle and the Antique shop. We did the basic tour.

One of the national treasures of the Czech Republic this iconic castle is definitely worth a visit. The castle founded around 1347 is set in the picturesque scenery of mountains and the Berounka river and it is linked with the emperor Charles IV. There are several visiting tours to choose from. The tickets can be bought online. If you have the possibility, make sure to choose the tour including the castle's chapels. The breathtaking gilded interior of the St. Cross Chapel is absolutely amazing.

The Lidice Memorial, located just a short bus ride from downtown Prague, is a poignant tribute to the village of Lidice, which was decimated by Nazi soldiers in 1942. The memorial includes a museum that provides insightful and powerful information about the tragic events. Visitors can also stroll through peaceful rose gardens and view touching bronze statues honoring the innocent victims. Many find the experience deeply moving and feel a strong connection to the village that once stood there.
A very strong reminder of the doings of the germans due world war || Not for the faint hearted, but a visit you will never forget... You will, if you are normal, get a lumb in your throat and tears in your eyes.... This is the proof of the most evil animal on the planet.......the human being......period....

A beautiful memorial site to remember the victims of the tragic event that occurred here on 10 June 1942. We all have a responsibility to ensure events like this never occur ever. I recommend visiting this memorial.

Having both Czech and German ancestors it is unbelievable to me how cruel people can be, being so similar to each other. This is one of those important places everybody should visit from time to time to never forget what can happen if we fall for political parties that make us believe some human beings are less important than others.

Such a beautifully maintained and respectful memorial to the events here in June 1942. We visitedvtge memorial exhibition at the side before and after walking around the site and this was a good idea as it gave us an insight before and then clarification after. A special thank you to Jan for taking the time to answer our questions so thoroughly and educate us further - so dedicated to his role and he really made us feel like very special guests. His passion reinforces everything that us good about visiting the darker places of history. Thank you Jan! The children's memorial is the most poignant and powerful I think I have ever seen.

If you love Prague, you should visit the Lidice Memorial, at least once in your life. It’s the tragic history of revenge, of the Nazi’s, after the assassination of Heidrich, in Prague. The Nazi’s decided to completely erase the village of the two brave Czech troupers. Men were killed, women deported, and the children were first deported and then killed. And the then the village was erased, asif it never had existed.

A beautiful memorial. Its a lovely tranquil place and the silence and what appears absence of the wildlife here, enhances the emotions that are felt. My son left a teddy at the child's memorial, and there are candles and lanterns. We didn't visit the museums but walked the friendship and peace gardens and through to the children of war memorial. Dogs are welcome kept on a lead and there are plenty of bins but bring bags to keep the place clean.

A very sad place. I have been here many times to pay respect. Lidice was destroyed by the Nazi’s during WWII after Reinhard Heydrich was killed (died from his wounds related to assassination attempt on his life in Prague). The Children of Lidice statue and memorial is one of the most powerful and sad statues in the world that I have come across. To think humans can kill children is just beyond words.

Intense experience but absolutely worthwhile to make a visit. The memorial does honor to the horror that occurred here. The memorial is peaceful and expansive due to the large open space and walking trail that leads you through the grounds. Be prepared for some emotions.
