Castle

Hilltop medieval castle & history museum, reached by funicular, with falconry center & guided tours.
We were not disappointed. The tour was worthwhile, especially if you enjoy the tourist discount staying locally. With advance tickets the admission was quick and efficient. The funicular to the Burg was smooth, safe, an appropriate speed and worry free, well covered by forest and shade so it didn't leave us with any feeling of vulnerability during the ride up or down. The tour was informative and, being self-guided, easy to keep up with; simple to understand. The café was very good. An enjoyable afternoon overall. Don't miss it!

Beautiful place, beautiful views. Unfortunately, the tour was only in german. They gave us audio guides instead. There were not many original pieces due to fires. It still worth to visit. We enjoyed it. They even have a place to eat.
Tamara B — Google review
It is a very nice castle. You can see that already by approaching him. It look very nice between the hills. There is a parking lot in front of the cashier. You can go on foot or you can go with cable train. I took the cable train. Castle is very interesting. Guided tour is very nice, very interesting and you see much interesting parts of the castle. There is a self service restaurant and one with table service. Worth of visiting
Bojan B — Google review
Very cool place we happened to stumble upon driving through. We learned a lot of really cool facts and enjoyed the amazing scenery surrounding. 4 stars because we couldn’t figure out how to get to the top of the bell tower and the gift shop closed when they had the bird show at 3pm.
Stephanie G — Google review
Very cool castle! Loads to see and do for kids and adults. Birdshow was super cool and informative. We had birds flying a meter over our heads. Very cool. Staff were super nice and friendly. Stunning views and a very beautiful castle. Photos don’t do it justice.
Kristian T — Google review
A very beautiful Castle and view, had a great English tour(with a fantastic guide) which they should DEFINITELY offer, and finally the bird show was very cool to see. Definitely recommend. Was 20.90 Euros for taking the gondola both ways which I do recommend.
Striker8o8 — Google review
One of the most astonishing views I've ever seen. Beautiful and historical fortress plus enchanting birds exhibitions. Smaller compared to Hohensalzburg but still worth it to visit. Really easy to get from Salzburg Hbf.
GUSTAVO ( — Google review
Summary: - €20,90 per person all-inclusive cost (excluding food) - Cool but touristy - Good parking situation the day we went - The lift can feel a little sketchy, especially if your height adverst. - The hike up is quite steep and can be difficult if you’re not physically prepared. - Beautiful views of surroundings! It is difficult to know what is actually from early on in the castles history and what is updated. There have definitely been a lot of updates over the years. There is a small food court in the center of the castle which could be convenient, but it kills the vibe a bit. The bird event is cool as well, a couple different types of birds fly around, but also only in Dutch/German. It cost 20,90 euros to get the lift round trip (up & back), and you can include a guided tour for no extra charge. The tours are at set time slots though, ours was at 12:10pm. Cool tour!… but very packed and the guides speak only in Dutch/German. You need a little device to give you the pre-set English version.

Nature & Parks
Caverns & Caves
Eisriesenwelt, located near the town of Werfen in the Salzburg Alps, is a breathtaking natural wonder. Discovered in 1879, it is the largest ice cave in the world, with a labyrinth of caves spanning over 42 kilometers. Accessible to the public from May to October, visitors can embark on guided tours through this mesmerizing icy landscape.
We were holidaying in the Bayern area, and just had to experience this. Its somewhat of a 3/4 day experience. The drive there on its own is quite magical already. Tickets where quite easy to get online and you do a check-in at the counter. The short hike up to the cable car is amazing. And then you get to take another hike through tunnels to get to the entrance. The caves themselves is absolutely stunning. Definitely recommend long pants and jackets as it is 0degreesC inside. And be ready to walk a lot of steep steps. The guides are absolutely brilliant and the tour is offered in English and German. Highly recommend the visit. It's more than just the ice cave!
Shalen R — Google review
You should be prepared to enormously steep climb - 1 km before the cable car and 1 km after. Additionally, the staircase with 1400 steps awaits you inside the cave. No warnings in the tourists center about the climbing, which is potentially dangerous or even impossible for not so young people or people with medical problems. The cave itself is quite average one. Positive things: great views outside the cave and on your way to the cave
Alexander C — Google review
Excellent trip to do!! We went in October. Was cold but not really bad. A regular jacket etc probably will suffice. Do be prepared for a LOT of uphill walking. You will need to take a shuttle bus (2 pick up points. Google it), it costs around 10 Euros and is CASH ONLY. Bring cash for this! You definitely don’t want to walk to the base site unless you feel like doing an all day hike. Once at the base, you can get tickets to go into the cave (includes the rail cart up to the top). Tickets are like 4 Euros cheaper if bought online. Super easy to buy online. After you leave ticket area, 15-20 mins uphill walk, then take the rail car, then another 15-20 mins uphill and then you are at the cave entrance. Wait here for a guided tour in your language. Lights are provided for the cave. Photos are NOT normally allowed. It seems they let you if it is the slow season. Give this review a like if it helped you! :)

It took us around 45 min to get to the cave (from the visitor center it takes 20 min to the cable and then again 20 min to the cave). You must be in a good fit to climb up the trail to the cave. It is expensive (125 euro for 3 adults and 2 kids). The cave itself is very nice but it also includes climbing up 1400 stairs. The surrounding view is exceptional and worth the climb.
Milly K — Google review
Highly recommended but keep in mind, it’s for hikers. You will need to hike at least 40 minutes climbing and the cave is another 1400 stairs (700 up and 700 down). It’s fantastic journey and great tour but very difficult. The tour uses lanterns and magnesium for light which is great for the vibe but less good for pictures.
Neil R — Google review
Great place to visit, incredible ice cave with great views and history. Lots of steps inside, physically challenging, but worth every step. Warm clothes required!
Marc — Google review
Interesting experience. From the parking lot, it takes about 20 minutes on foot to reach the lift, which, after a short wait, carries you up the mountain in 3 minutes. From there, another 20-minute walk leads to the entrance of the cave. Along the way, the view down into the valley is breathtaking. At the cave entrance, after a short wait, guided tours start in German and English. Our guide Simon, who led the German tour, was fantastic—humorous and very knowledgeable. Inside the cave, you have to climb about 700 steps, but it’s absolutely worth it, as the ice formations look like something from a fairytale. We were given small lanterns to help us find our way in the darkness, since there is no lighting inside. It’s very cold, so you really need to dress warmly. I recommend this trip to everyone—it’s a wonderful excursion.

100% recommended, very impressive and adventorous. Surrounded by a beautiful nature landscape. Warm clothes needed inside the cave. Jan was our guide and he couldn’t have been nicer, he explained everything perfectly.

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Perched at an elevation of 1834m, The Eagle's Nest was originally built as a mountain retreat for Hitler and has since been repurposed into a restaurant with stunning panoramic views. Accessible only by a special shuttle bus from the Kehlsteinhaus bus station, this historic site boasts a rich World War II history and was once used by top officials of the Third Reich regime.
Awesome place to see the views of the mountain range and the village below. Only has a little bit of the history to read to say how iconic it is. Overall Great place to visit, definitely a must see if not for the view alone.
Stephen D — Google review
Expensive but worth the trip! The bus is a little confusing, but you have to take the city (838) bus to the Dokumentation station and then buy a tour bus pass to get to the top. 838 drops you off and picks you up from the same area. Convenient! Costs around 11.50Euro for round trip from the main station to the tour station. Keep your ticket for the return. Can also just buy a one-way ticket. We went middle of October. Snow was VERY slippery (and wet) so bring good shoes or walking poles. Was cold but not super cold. Thumbs up if this review helped you! :)

We were surrounded by clouds going up the mountain, but once we went up the elevator, it was clear skies and beautiful. The house is a restaurant which i did not go to. You can climb a little bit of the mountain and take breathtaking pictures.

Great experience and amazing views!!! If you go when there is snow, expect no treatment on paths could be very treacherous. Would do it again for sure!!! Restaurant was very good also, would eat there again. You need to park then take a bus up to elevator.

This is a very cool place to visit. It’s great that such a historical place has remained largely unchanged since construction. Even if you’re not interested in World War II history, the site offers fantastic views assuming the weather is cooperative. We had a nice lunch in the restaurant and I hope to visit again with clearer weather.

A very good experience. The bus trip up and down is excellent, it makes you appreciate the work involved to create the road in such a short time period. The views from the top are just phenomenal.

Must see and worth the 15 min electrical bus drive up mountain. Spectacular views. Terrible history but worth remembering all of us to have this never happen again. In the sun-gallery there is some information on the site and history.
P R — Google review
Amazing….it was even better than I imagined. There’s a restaurant there that also doesn’t gouge you on prices. The trip up on the bus is an event in itself, followed by the short walk up along the original entrance tunnel and into the same original gold coloured lift. Incidentally the lift holds over 30 people! Then when you get out you are above the clouds and it’s epic. If you are near there, I would highly recommend it

Vötter's Fahrzeugmuseum

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Museum
Specialty Museums
Vötter's Fahrzeugmuseum is a small but fascinating showcase of over 200 vehicles and motorbikes, mainly from the 1950s to the 1970s. The exhibition area covers 1000 square meters and features an impressive array of cars, motorcycles, tractors, military vehicles, and even a train and cable car. Visitors can also experience driving the world's largest snowmobile at speeds of up to 50 km per hour.
Imagine a well maintained lovingly tended museum with classic cars and bikes and tractors and all classes of automobiles from the dawn of the automobile era to the modern day with a wide range of vehicles from across the world. Just fantastic for kids and automobile lovers and geeks. It’s worthy of spending half a day here. Rich descriptions and the vehicles are so well maintained even the Trabants and Ladas - if you ever want to understand the difference in manufacturing quality in Germany and inside the Iron Curtain here are vivid examples. Fabulous views of the Alps. Extremely small museum given the large number of vehicles. A must visit if you are visiting Zell am See.

Vötter’s Car Museum in Kaprun is a must-visit for classic car enthusiasts. It features over 200 rare cars and motorcycles from the 1950s to the 1970s, all displayed in a well-organized and fascinating way. Though the museum is relatively small, it is filled with treasures that take you on a journey through time. A highly recommended stop for anyone passionate about cars and history.

Alpine Coaster Kaprun is a family-friendly mountain resort offering year-round entertainment, including the Maisiflitzer Alpine Coaster. This thrilling 1.3 km track allows riders to reach speeds of up to 40 km/h as they race down towards the valley, encountering bridges, waves, jumps, and banked loops along the way. The coaster provides an adrenaline rush for both kids and adults.
It is very nice. I recommend on doing part of the trip by foot and go back with the carts. The self drive carts are short but nice experience for the kids!

The track feels very repetitive, with the same style and a series of similar turns. I find it extremely overpriced, and I don’t think it’s fair that the fee is charged per person rather than per sled

Maisi Flitzer is an exciting alpine coaster in Kaprun that’s fun for both kids and adults. The ride takes you down the mountain on a twisting track with beautiful views all around. You can control your own speed, so it’s as thrilling or relaxing as you want it to be. It’s safe, well-organized, and a fantastic activity to add some adrenaline to your trip. Great for families or groups of friends.
Our_discoveries5 — Google review
Very cool and great fun The very big downside is that distances between cars are not controlled and dependant on the rider, but with kids this can be a big risk They automatically take a photo of you during the ride and then u can get it printed out for 6 Euro. The picture has your speed as well :) There are some slides next to it which are fun but too expensive to be for a 1 Euro each time

One of the best activities in Kaprun. We went through the cables cars to the top of the mountain. Amazing views over there. Included in the Kaprun Zell am See Summer Card.

Good fun, if you’re looking for something else to do besides skiing. It is however a little expensive for the time that it takes to get up and down….the trip up actually taking longer than the trip down. Can imagine that’s a great option in summer when there is no snow.

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.

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.

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.

We thought there would be more spaces that were open for tours, but the tour was still good. The restaurant in the fortress was great! Service was great as well as the food and we enjoyed as much as we could eat as the portion sizes were large.

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.

Untersberg

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.

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.

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 😍

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.

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.

Salzburg Cathedral

Mentioned on

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
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.
Benjamin M — Google review
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

The Hohe Tauern National Park Information Centre offers an immersive experience with its interactive museum and 3D film showcasing the stunning Alpine landscape. Covering 1800 square kilometers, this nature reserve boasts diverse habitats for a wide range of species, making it one of the most impressive high mountain landscapes globally. Visitors can join small group tours led by trained national park rangers to explore the area. The center provides comprehensive information on various aspects such as animals, plants, and nature.
While exploring the area, we came across the Hohe Tauern National Park Information Centre in Mittersill, and it turned out to be a great find. This interactive museum offers fascinating insights into the national park, including its wildlife, landscapes, and ecosystems. One of the highlights was the 3D cinema experience, which brought the beauty of the park to life in an engaging way. It’s a great spot for families, as there are plenty of interactive displays that kids will enjoy. You can easily spend an hour or two here learning about the park before heading out to explore the real thing. The centre also has a coffee shop and a gift shop, making it a nice place to take a break. There’s ample parking right outside, and from there, it’s an easy walk into Mittersill’s town centre, making it a convenient stop while in the area. Definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby!

Visited on July 4th on our way back from Krimml waterfalls. It is nice little museum. Their 360° movie theater was great. We were limited by the time and could spend there only an hour but for comfortable visit I recommend to allow about 2 hours. We took bus 670 that runs every hour on weekdays but free parking is available. Walk from the bus stop is about 450 meters.

Great spot to spend hour or two and learn about Austria's biggest national park.

Very interesting centre, packed with information. Perfect when the weather is not ideal for walking in the mountains. Plenty to keep kids entertained, with interactive exhibits. All the information boards are in German and English. The English translations are good (which definitely isn't the case everywhere in the region). The 3D cinema show is good, but we couldn't get the English audio to work (uses a QR code).

Rauschberg is a 1,671-meter mountain in Germany that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Alps.

The area also features cozy mountain restaurants and opportunities for hiking. The journey to the top on the gondola provides an exhilarating experience as it ascends along the rocks.
Cable car up to top. Great area to walk around and see the views!!! Great food at top!
Jon S — Google review
Some info for those wanting to climb this moutain. The cable car is closed and they are building a new one to replace it (in theory). Currently no work has started so who knows when it will be. The bar/restaurant at the top are therefore also closed. If you want to hike up to the top: we took 2h10 to go up at an (above) average pace and doing some small mistakes/side wandering. To go down we took 1h20. So in total we did 14km, 900+ and took 3h30. Note that the indicative panels indicate 3h30 to go up only. If you follow the main path, it is very clearly marked and very « easy ». It is a well maintained and wide path. The only difficulty is the distance and gradient (7km one way, 1000m d+) but that’s up to your fitness. We started from Aschenau. To sum it up: no cable car. Go by foot. 7km one way. Ps: there is a danger sign , if you don’t speak German, no worries it is about being careful with your dogs. Some animals might have babies and be protective.

(Translated by Google) Very nice as a half day trip. When the weather is nice you have a great view from Lake Chiemsee to the main ridge of the Alps. We have been up there many times, also because travel is free with the Chiemgau card. The steep journey with the gondola along the rocks is also an experience. At the top there is a viewing platform right next to the station. We also recommend hiking for 20 minutes to the actual summit. (Original) Sehr schön als Halbtagsausflug. Bei schönem Wetter hat man super Sicht vom Chiemsee bis zum Hauptkamm der Alpen. Wir waren schon oft oben, auch weil die Fahrt mit der Chiemgau Karte kostenlos ist. Auch die steile Anfahrt mit der Gondel an den Felsen entlang ist ein Erlebnis. Oben gibt es gleich neben der Station eine Aussichtsplattform. Zu empfehlen ist aber auch noch 20min zum eigentlichen Gipfel zu wandern.

Unique and close to nature. It's literally in the woods at the foot of a mountain. Mostly designed with natural materials, not much plastic. Very well done. The food is mediocre and a bit expensive, but you can bring your own if you want. There are plenty of sitting opportunities and tables (also mostly made of wood). You can spend money for some extras inside, but you don't have to. Great, unique theme park you can easily spend the entire day. You won't find this anywhere else.

Amazing fun Park for the whole family... One can easily spend the whole day there. My daughter loved it, so did Oma, Opa and our dog was also allowed in. Restaurant food and prices were very reasonable. The detail in all the entertainment and rides were amazing. Being in the middle of forest also shaded us from a 30 degree day. Well be back next year for sure

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. A must visit.

Beautiful church along German Camino. Take the time to read some of the many images of thanks. Peaceful setting in town square- numerous cafes and shops.

One in small form but it’s large in history and significance. One must visit this pilgrimage chapel if you visit to Altötting.

One of the best mother Mary's church. It's a special place in Germany
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!

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!!

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.

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

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.

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.

A small but well-kept zoo located in a very beautiful area. There’s nothing particularly special about it, except that you can feed some of the animals with food you buy at the entrance for one euro per bag. There are various unique animals from Australia and America, though they would probably prefer larger enclosures.

Nice and small zoo in Ebbs. European and some exotic animals are shown in a very nice environment. In the shadow of the mountains are trees, a small creek and a really good walking for families. Worth to see this and maybe tie it to a visit the Haflinger farm which is near to this place.

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!

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.

Lake

Tegernsee is a stunning glacial tongue-basin alpine lake covering 3.5 square miles, located in the Bavarian Alps in southern Germany. It's surrounded by spa towns and hiking routes, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers and families. Visitors can enjoy wellness activities, picturesque landscapes, and a variety of dining options. The area includes resorts such as Tegernsee, Bad Wiessee, Kreuth, Gmund, and Rottach-Egern.
Very calm lake, especially in this Autumn season. Great location and plenty to explore around. The fun would sure have been doubled with a bicycle. If you have one, then definitely bring one. Several places around to disembark on a journey of your own. Many peaks to climb around as well!
Vaman N — Google review
We took the BRB train from Munich to Tegernsee Lake, which was an easy and comfortable trip that took about an hour. We went just for sightseeing without swimming or taking a boat. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and very peaceful. The lake and mountains create a stunning view that feels relaxing and refreshing. It’s a great place to walk around, sit by the water, and enjoy the calm atmosphere. Even without any activities, it was worth the visit. Highly recommend Tegernsee for anyone looking for a quiet escape from the city.
Nadzim Z — Google review
A Perfect Day Trip to Tegernsee – Nature, Adventure & Peace in One Place Taking the train from Munich to Tegernsee (RB 57) is an experience in itself. The journey is about an hour, but it feels like a scenic film , rolling green hills, charming Bavarian houses, and that magical moment when you first spot the shimmering blue lake from high above. Once you arrive, Tegernsee greets you with postcard-perfect views. The lakeshore is lined with elegant yachts gently swaying in the breeze, cozy cafes with outdoor seating where you can sip coffee while watching the sailboats, and peaceful beaches where the clear water sparkles under the sun. On a sunny day, the lake almost glows, making it perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply lying on the shore with a book. For those seeking a bit more excitement, Tegernsee offers plenty of water sports like kayaking, sailing, and stand-up paddling. And if you’re feeling adventurous, paragliding from the nearby mountains gives you a bird’s-eye view of the lake surrounded by the Alps. The whole area has a peaceful, rejuvenating atmosphere. It’s a blend of nature, clean alpine air, and just enough activity to keep you engaged. Whether you’re strolling along the promenade, exploring small shops, or enjoying the mountain backdrop from a sunny cafe terrace, there’s always something beautiful to take in. Bonus Tips for a Perfect Trip: 🕗 Go early morning, especially on weekends, to get a good seat for yoir friends/family. 🚆 Sit on the right side when heading towards Tegernsee for the best view of the lake from above; on the return journey, choose the left side for a repeat of the scenery. 🚌 There’s a bus service from Tegernsee Bahnhof that takes you to different spots around the lake. Divide your time wisely to see as many points as possible. Each corner of the lake has its own charm. Tegernsee is one of those places where time slows down, and you feel refreshed just by being there. Whether you come for sports, sightseeing, or simply peace and nature, it’s hard to leave without planning your next visit.

Tegernsee is one of the most beautiful lakes and even places, I have ever seen and been to!! Small lake and town near to Munich, less than 2 hours by car and also you can get there with train very comfortably, during pandamic all the shops in a small town are close but there are many small local shops for dining and decorative stuffs. But we enjoy sightseeing, hiking, relaxing and we were lucky because it was sunny that day and it helped us to enjoy more. Definitely I will come back and stay there for couple of days in hotel, one fay was not enough for me !!

Established in 1886 by Johann Kienle, it offers a 3-hour tour featuring tastings and Bavarian snacks.

This was an amazing experience! Love Erdinger so it was so good to finally come and visit it at source. The tour was in German but nevertheless we had a great experience. After the tour we were treated to a traditional meal of sausage, cheese and pretzels with a few different choices of Erdinger to wash it all down! If your an Erdinger enthusiast then I would recommend this please 100%

We went for a brewery tour and tasting on a Wednesday 15/10/2025 for the English speaking tour. I'll start by saying how lovely all the staff were and how enthusiastic they were about the brewery! It was really interesting to learn how Erdinger is made and all the different beers they brew. The tasting was a highlight with an option of Obatzda or Weisswurst and Pretzel to pair with the beers. I managed to sample at least three of the beers and they were all as delicious as the next. The only downside to my experience was the slightly hard to reach location of the brewery. We were coming from the Therme Erding and there was no easy route. Of course this is not the brewery's fault so it's still a 5 star review! Thank you Erdinger Brewery for such an amazing tour!

Booked a tour for a Saturday at 14. Their shop with merch closes at 13. How is that possible? The signage for meeting points etc. are bad and the ticket confirmation mail is only in German. Bad tourist experience. I actually also signed up for their free membership, where you get send a physical €5 voicher sent to your foreign home add, that only works in the shop. The voucher doesn't work online and, naturally, not in a closed shop.

HIGHLY recommend this tour. We came to Erding for our wedding and a bunch of our guests joined us for this tour. It was a great group activity. This was a highlight of our week! I have been to other breweries and have done other tours around the world but this was hands down my favourite one! The hospitality was wonderful. We started off with a beer and ended with multiple beers. (Full glasses, not just shot glasses). All the beer options were so good! We also received food; sausages and pretzels with the most amazing mustard. We didn't even need to go out for dinner after. The tour was very informative, with lots of walking and stairs which is good for me who likes to be active on trips. I would definitely come back! This is a MUST DO if you like beer and are in Erding. We are forever a Erdinger family now.

Eisbach is a man-made wave on the Isar River, located in the famous English Garden in Munich. It has been a popular spot for river surfing since 1972 and hosts numerous competitions. Visitors can enjoy watching surfers practice their skills even during Bavarian winters.
This was an amazing place to sit and people watch and is a bucket list must for anyone visiting the city of Munich. We packed a picnic lunch of cheese, salami, some crackers and wine to sit on the side of the channel and watch people take the plunge and ride the surf!!! Easy access from the tram and a nice walk from Karlsplatz and Marienplatz.

Good walk place and relaxing. Family friendly but I think more restroom would be better for the number of people. Nice for walking, jogging, biking and canoeing. Saw some people grilling with a small griller. The area is great too with general grocery stores. Can save bucks walking to Netto for example to buy water and food instead of buying as tourist at the park. Parking is good too but could free parking could be taken up so fast. There's also a zoo right there too and if you you'll visit this area 3 times a year better buy yearly zoo ticket and save fortune.

Incredible surfing spot in the middle of the city - a must see when you’re in Munich. It’s the river “Isa” that runs through Munich and this spot has is man made. This section of the river has been artificially created to run through the English Garden and is popular to swim and surf in.

Overall a nice experience.

It's a vast general museum, encompassing everything not covered in the art and antique museums. Currently half of it is under renovation, but the open part is big enough to keep you busy for a long time. I focused mainly on the air and space aspect, nice collection of vintage and more modern planes, some of the very first rockets including a V2, and a very nice floor on spaceships. I also enjoyed the section on coding. I checked out photography, printing and musical instruments before my time ran out. It was a solid 3 hours. Overall it is good, not necessarily a must-see if you are first time visitor to Munich pressed on time.

A wonderful place to visit with children. The museum offers a great experience, and the restaurant–café on the roof is definitely worth a stop.

The Deutsches Museum in Munich is an absolute gem for science and technology enthusiasts, offering an unparalleled hands-on learning experience. With its vast collection spanning aviation, engineering, physics, and even music instruments, the museum brilliantly bridges education and entertainment.

The detailed historical displays, including early automobiles and replicas of famous scientific experiments, provide fascinating insights into humanity's technological progress.

Whether you're a curious traveler or a dedicated science buff, the Deutsches Museum delivers both knowledge and inspiration in a truly immersive way.

Deutsches Museum is not just an exhibit hall: it is a journey through how human curiosity, experimentation, and engineering have shaped the world. If you love science or tech—or want to challenge yourself to understand how many things work (from steam engines to quantum bits), this museum will reward you. Even if you’re only casually interested, the famous pieces (Z3, mining, astronomy, transport, etc.) are enough to make a visit memorable. Highly recommend it, and plan your time well. Bonus: Every Monday few free tickets are also offered. Don't forget to see the beautiful skyline of city with Isar river.

Biergarten am Chinesischen Turm is a popular dining spot and beer garden located at the Chinese Tower site in Munich.

With around 7,000 seats, it's one of the best beer gardens in Munich where visitors can enjoy traditional Bavarian dishes like roasted pork knuckle and savory cheese dip while sipping on local beers such as Hofbrau Hell.
This was our favorite beer garden in Munich! There were several different places to get beer and food, and there were many tables so it didn’t feel too crowded. There was a band playing in the central tower while we visited, and that created a really fun atmosphere. There’s free bathrooms available and a bus station right outside for convenience if you don’t want to walk through the whole garden.

Definitely worth visiting once for the experience. The band is fun and it was lovely to see people of all ages, from grandparents to babies, some dressed in their Bavarian Sunday best outfits enjoying the sunny weather. There were lots of wasps around, which you can expect in German summer! The prices are on the higher end but the beer was cold and refreshing and the pommes were hot and crispy. The website says they serve a vegan version of their famous Ochsensemmel but I asked the staff at a couple of food stands and they said the only vegan option was potatoes. Points off for that.

Chinese Beer Garden (English Garden, Munich) The Chinese Tower Beer Garden is a must-visit for the incredible atmosphere in the heart of the English Garden. It’s the perfect place to sit down, enjoy a genuine German beer, and quench your thirst after a long day of exploring. The setting itself is fantastic, but the experience of actually getting food is a perfect (and hilarious) example of German efficiency failing at the point of human interaction. Like Oktoberfest, ordering food is total chaos. There are no proper signs, people are queuing at the wrong ends, and you might find yourself waiting for sausage when you really wanted a pretzel. It’s a complex problem built on a simple premise, and it makes you laugh at the confusion. The food itself is quite expensive—a perfect tourist tax, perhaps—but for a first-timer, the traditional German dishes taste absolutely fine. Ultimately, come for the vibrant social scene and the excellent beer (which you can grab with ease), and be prepared for an adventure if you plan on eating!

Excellent Biergarten located in the Englischer Garten! Especially if the weather is good, this place is hard to beat and you can easily spend hours here and in the surrounding garden. Plenty of tables available and the quality and variety of the food is good.

The Chinese Tower Beer Garden in Munich was a fantastic experience overall. The ordering process can feel a bit chaotic at first, but once you get the hang of it, everything flows smoothly. We ordered beer, a pretzel pizza, and fries—all delicious and perfectly suited for the lively outdoor setting. The atmosphere was relaxed and lively. Isn’t it funny- there’s a Chinese tower in an English garden located in Germany!

Very beautiful surroundings and the food was lovely. I do wish the allergens menu could be found on line, but a big book is available at the cashier.

Great find after a lovely walk around the English Garden. I enjoyed the set-up of taking food and drink you'd prefer from any of the stalls, then heading to the kiosk to pay on exit. It doesn't take cash. Cards only.

Stadium
Sights & Landmarks
Allianz Arena, home to Bayern Munich, is a renowned football stadium and one of the most impressive athletic venues globally. Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, its unique architecture features 2,784 ETFE plastic panels that give it a distinctive appearance resembling an inflatable cushion with translucent air pockets. What sets it apart is its luminous exterior that changes color based on the team playing: red for Bayern, blue for TSV 1860, and white for Germany.
An iconic stadium and a must-see for football fans! ⚽ The design is incredible especially when it’s lit up at night. The area is clean and well-organized, with easy access by metro. Even if there’s no match, the tour and museum are definitely worth it.

The FC Bayern stadium (Allianz Arena) has a very high capacity. The exterior design is modern and can change color at night. It houses both a Museum and an FC Bayern Store. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to join the Arena Tour, which is a real shame. The downside of this stadium is that there are very few nice photo spots outside, apart from taking pictures with the stadium itself, and if you come by U-Bahn, it's a very long and exhausting walk.

Wonderful arena and an amazing experience. My dad received a VIP tour and museum tickets for his 59th birthday. We were guided around the stadium and even taken to exclusive areas like the locker room and the tunnel where the players walk out before the match. The museum has absolutely everything, and the layout is beautifully done. I was also pleasantly surprised that the stadium shop is not overpriced at all. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience. Even though I’m not a football fan myself, we went because of my father, and I actually felt sad to leave because I enjoyed it so much. Go Bayern München! 🫶🏻❤️⚽️

Bayern Munich's stadium is located 12 minutes from the city center by metro. The fans are the heart of the club, arriving early and enjoying the experience of a cold beer. The stadium's sound system is very high quality. I had a lot of fun watching and participating in the victory over FC Freiburg. Unsere FC Bayern Munchen gewinn mit 6 : 2, stadion was almost full 75 000 person was realy enjoyed this football atmosphere. Mia San Mia. 🥳🍀⚽🙏🇩🇪🏆

The group tour is great. To get to see all the history behind such a big club was a great experience. Hopefully I’ll be able to visit again whit the hopes of seeing a match. Overall it was cool and the best part is that I didn’t have to sell kidney to take the tour, it was really affordable. Definitely recommend checking it out.

We booked the English speaking tour with Franz, and he was very informative and engaging. There was plenty of Oporto take photos, and you could visit the change rooms, sit in the stands and on the substitutes bench. Afterwards we visited the museum which was very interactive. You could take a photo of yourself and have it appear on a scrolling wall of photos, and there was also the opportunity to take a photo with your favourite players. There are things for kids to do, such as building their own trophy with blocks, as well as a stadium with Lego. There is a small futsal pitch for them to play on, as well as climbing equipment. It’s definitely worth the visit for the whole family.

The wonderful place to visit. I highly recommend to join the guide tour because you can experience a very special introduction in the court. The one thing is, you can understand the space of stadium and also you can learn the history of the stadium.

Great stadium, truly impressive from the moment you walk in. The shop is huge, well-stocked, and full of cool merch for every type of fan. The museum is surprisingly rich with history, displaying iconic moments, trophies, and even a small cinema where you can sit and enjoy a short film about the club’s journey. The stadium tour itself is well-organized, informative, and gives you access to some amazing angles you don’t normally get to see. Staff throughout the entire experience were warm, helpful, and very professional. Highly recommended if you’re a football fan or simply appreciate great sporting culture and storytelling.
