History museum
Sights & Landmarks
The State Museum of Majdanek is a memorial museum located on the site of a WWII concentration camp. It houses buildings, photographs, and personal effects from that era. The exhibits are available in English as well and offer an educational experience about the atrocities committed during that time. It takes around four hours to visit the entire museum, so it's best to plan for a sunny day as it can get cold and windy in winters.
A fantastic trip out from the centre of Lublin. Very interesting site to visit. Lots of information in 3 languages boards to read around the entire exhibition. Lots of walking involved to take in the entire place . Gas chamber, barracks etc all very harrowing to see. With free entry
Andrea B — Google review
An interesting place to visit, for all the wrong reasons I accept. I feel like everyone should see the conditions people were kept in, with the quotes dotted around often added extra significance.
Andrew W — Google review
An incredible place. Take a 3 hour guided tour to get the full horrific story of this concentration camp. So sad but amazing to see and hear the stories. You cannot imagine what it must have been like. The most shocking part for me was seeing the 430,000 shoes of those that died there.
Martin C — Google review
I was truly moved and saddened that this could happen so close to populated areas and no one came to help ir protest everyday
Ibironke G — Google review
A very powerful and emotional place. Majdanek is preserved with great respect - a heartbreaking reminder of history that should never be forgotten.
Liudmyla Z — Google review
A sad place but a fundamental visit to understand more about this dark moment of our history. The museum is very well preserved and organized. The entrance is free but I would recommend to buy something from the bookstore, to contribute with the conservation. If possible, go on a weekday by morning, it opens 9am and the visit will be not crowded, so you can explore everything in your pace.
Ricardo R — Google review
This is a eye watering place to visit due to the horrendous reasons behind it being there. We entered through the main gate and into the reception, we were then shown on a map whats what and how far it it’s to walk round it , I believe it was 4.6km . Hard to imagine just how hard it must have been but the whole place gives you somewhat of a view into the conditions . The stories you read on the wall again make your heart miss a beat , very very sad place to visit but a must if history and a real look into it is on your to do list.
John-Anthony F — Google review
Plenty of parking and easy to get to. There is a small car park charge but other then that access to the site is free. Be prepared for a fair amount of walking as the camp is fairly large but there are two further mini car parks on the museum site which would cut down the walk.

A lovely getaway from the urban sprawl of Warsaw. Lordly peacocks 🦚 made my day. Squirrels 🐿️ run galore, so bring your little bag of nuts to partake in the feeding craze undertaken by old and young :) Love golden autumn colors 🍂 adding more splendor.

Lovely afternoon with fantastic weather today. Beautiful autumn leaves, few peacocks and cute squirrels. A lot of room for long walks, also plenty of benches to sit down and relax. One of the places you must see when visiting Warsaw, whatever the season.

Łazienki Park is simply charming. It's a very beautiful, peaceful place, perfect for a relaxing stroll. Along the way, you can see various animals like squirrels, peacocks, and ducks, which make the experience even more enjoyable and fun. Perfect for those who want to connect with nature without leaving the city.

Amazing and massive park area. People handfeed the peacocks and red squirrels by the palace. I was shocked how friendly the animals are. One red squirrel came up to me and climbed on my leg thinking I have food. Back in the UK this is unimaginable as animals over there have to be wary of humans.
Kikkë G — Google review
Incredible huge park with multiple old buildings and a vast network of trails and paths. Washrooms are easy to find comma and there is more seating/benches than any other Park I have seen. Be sure to find the peacocks that hang out near the education center

Sights & Landmarks
The Palace of Culture and Science, a prominent 1950s architectural marvel in Warsaw, stands as one of the tallest buildings in Poland and the European Union. This iconic 44-floor high-rise is a symbol of modern Warsaw and offers an array of cultural experiences including theaters, museums, exhibitions, cinemas, restaurants, and bars. Visitors can also enjoy breathtaking city views from the 30th-floor View Terrace.
The most iconic building in Warsaw, 237 meters high! It was built in 1955 as a “gift” from the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin. On the 30th floor there is an observatory with a panoramic view of the city. It opens its gates at 20:00. You can buy tickets online, as well as from machines on the ground floor or cash at the box office. Recommended!!
Loukas K — Google review
The Palace of Culture and Science is an interesting spot to visit in Warsaw. The building is huge and full of history, with good views from the top! It was pouring rain during our visit, but we were able to grab some coffee and icecream at the rooftop! There’s a mix of museums, theaters, and exhibitions inside—definitely worth checking out if you’re in the city.
Arch S — Google review
Good place to visit when in Warsaw. We went inside to explore and took elevator to viewing platform on 30th floor. Tickets have to be purchased for that but they were not very expensive and viewing is amazing. Area surrounding the Palace and Culture and Science is also very nice. Plenty of places to sit and relax or go to get some food.
Martyna A — Google review
What a great view of the city! This magnificent sowiet style building offers the best views of the skyline of Warsaw into every direction. The biggest downside? You can't see this beautiful building. Come here at sunset to experience Warsaw at day, night and see a nice red sky. It's also very affordable and there is a nice coffee spot on top.
Florian P — Google review
Soviet building but huge and fascinating. The most interesting building among all. Inside it has a lot if things but the panorama view on the 30th floor is breathtaking! I advise everyone to go there before the dawn, buy tickets in the self-service ticket machine (no need to book tickets in advance) in the hall and watch the beautiful city from the height, especially at night ✨✨✨ The building itself is gliwing with colir lights at night 👌✨
Julia V — Google review
It is a very unique and monumental building. The history behind it is controversial, but they’ve managed to repurpose it to a cultural, scientific and historical end. It was nice to go up and have a 360 view of the city.

The must in Warsaw. Recommend to read a little bit about of the place before visit, to understand the history and the historical context. Visit the view point on 30th floor, for excellent panorama of Warsaw, walk around, visit open places inside.

Local history museum
Museums
Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego is a powerful memorial and museum that vividly portrays the 1944 battle for independence in Poland. Through an array of exhibits, including photographs, personal belongings, and audiovisual materials, visitors are immersed in the harrowing experiences of Warsaw's residents during Nazi occupation and the uprising. The museum features a replica Liberator B-24J bomber hanging from the ceiling, where guests can watch a film depicting post-destruction Warsaw.
Amazing museum. We got there around two hours before closing and still couldn’t get through it all! We did stop often to read the signs. It really gives a sense of how that terrible period was like with commentary that is still relevant today. Good price and clean place. Took a tram nearby to the old town.
Iván S — Google review
To begin, Warsaw's diverse collection of museums is a significant attraction, and this particular museum is one that I highly recommend visiting with an audio guide. The Uprising Museum and Uprising Monument are located in two separate locations. It's worth noting that admission to this museum is free on Thursdays. The Warsaw Rising Museum's purpose is to honor the memory of the Warsaw Uprising's participants and victims, document the history of the Polish Underground State, and recount the story of the city's 63-day resistance against Nazi occupation during WWII. The museum features extensive video evidence documenting the atrocities that occurred. The exhibition commences with a timeline of events and then proceeds to a room used to educate children. I was stunned. Additionally, I found that I was unprepared for some of the video evidence. Towards the end of the exhibition, there was a video marked 'drastic scenes.' I was unable to view it. I experienced a panic attack. I met a gentleman whose face was severely swollen. He cried throughout the entire exhibition. One aspect that I had not previously realized until viewing the videos is the significant pride displayed by those individuals perpetrating such brutality.
Beverly ( — Google review
It's a really cool place, that's for sure, but if you want to actually spend time reading everything (and there is a LOAD to read), it's not really... accommodating. A load of sounds, very dark, many bright/contrasting lights. I walked in knowing nothing and fine and walked out still knowing nothing with a headache. But the layout is very visually interesting, and I bet the texts are very good, but I gave up on reading them after the first few 'stations' because I genuinely couldn't focus 🤷‍♂️

Very good museum about the Warsaw Uprising; educational and really well made. The guides were professional and knowledgeable on the subject, as well as each of the partisans and insurgents stories really touched my heart. It’s amazing to see such bravery while being crushed under the weight of hostilities and brutal suppression.

Impressive, saddening, well/maintained and displayed. Words are not enough to tell about it. What an edge people live on, between the war and the peace. And even in 2025 this BS continues to ruin lives. I’d highly recommend that parents bring their children and let them experience the history in this screen-time madness era.

One of the best museums ive ever been to. Informative and graphic at points really hits home the struggles and efforts of the WP. There are also sporadic sections with the ghettos and impacts on the Jewish community. Kudos to the museum for innovative ways of hiding the more graphic imagery in little concrete Wells or high up in peep holes. 10/10

Jasna Góra

Mentioned on

Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
Jasna Góra is a significant spiritual site in Poland, established by the Paulite order in 1382. The monastery houses the revered Icon of the Black Madonna of Czestochowa and various other sacred artworks. Pilgrims are drawn to this location due to reported miracles associated with the Black Madonna painting in the Chapel of Lady. The site also features an information center that offers guided tours in English.
A truly magical place. Visiting Jasna Góra Monastery was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is filled with peace and spiritual energy. You can feel a deep sense of calm and sacredness the moment you walk through the gates. A must-visit for anyone seeking reflection, history, or simply a moment of inner peace.

A heathen here. A pretty magnificent church. Our tour uses a local tour guide who takes us through the church while the Mass is in progress. He's also very thorough with the small museum. The church is dedicated to Black Madonna (the Virgin Mary), mother of Jesus. Reportedly, she possessed extraordinary power.

Wonderful shrine, a must-see while around Krakow. The icone of our Lady, the beautiful church, a very interesting treasury and museum, and breathtaking view at the top of the tower, all these make this place a magical one.
Nizar K — Google review
My visit to Jasna Góra immediately gave me a sense of falseness and incoherence. The sanctuary presents itself as a place of humility, compassion, and deep spirituality, yet the atmosphere felt strangely performative, almost staged. The devotion is grand, but the emotional tone is rigid — more about preserving an image than expressing genuine faith. What impressed me most was the strong contrast between the values celebrated inside the sanctuary and the social attitudes often seen outside of it. Poland proudly defines itself as a deeply Catholic nation, yet frequently promotes restrictive and exclusionary positions toward migrants, diversity, and LGBTQ+ people. This tension becomes glaring when compared to the very teachings the sanctuary claims to elevate. Below are some of the biblical passages that highlight this contradiction: Hebrews 13:2 “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.” Galatians 3:28 “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Mark 12:31 “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” Seen through this lens, Jasna Góra becomes a symbol of a broader national paradox: a powerful religious identity that often seems disconnected from the empathy, openness, and inclusion that the Gospel itself demands. Instead of spiritual harmony, the visit raises difficult questions about the gap between religious image and social reality.

This is considered to be a sacred place with a miracle-making icon. This historical place is visited by the Pope, too. The architecture with inside decoration of the churches is beautiful!

Lake Malta is a picturesque man-made lake that offers a variety of activities such as running and cycling. Adjacent to the lake, visitors can explore attractions like Jezyce with its street art and vibrant cafe scene, Kornik Castle where the legend of the 'White Lady' lingers, and the charming 'Vine Bridge' restaurant. In June, the Midsummer Night festival illuminates the sky with thousands of lanterns.
Reminds me of Pancharevo ezero in Bulgaria, a very nice walk around, but even better because of the many things to do around. There's a train, two roads - strictly for pedestrians and one for bikers only, ice cream and some restaurants at the far end as well as a whole amusement park and a zoo if you continue a bit further, But it's fine even for just a walk. Takes about 1 - 2 hours depending on your tempo. I loved that they put an honour to the medalists!

It has the wow effect. Lovely man made lake for rowing competition. Lots of activity on either side of the lake. One side, artificial ski slope and the other side- water park/ slide. There are also ‘beach’ type place where you can play beach volleyball and football. Not for swimming or u can swim but at your own peril…….

Great place for jogging , cycling, walking you pets or just simply outdoor walking . One of the biggest Man made lakes in Poznan. The water sport competitions are kept here.

ZOO

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

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

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

Truly amazing experience! The Wrocław Zoo is much bigger than I expected and incredibly well kept. You can really see that the animals are healthy, well fed, and properly cared for — everything feels very natural and clean. There are so many different species to see, and the Afrykarium is just breathtaking! The only small downside is that not every section has English translations, but honestly, it didn’t stop us from enjoying it at all. It’s a wonderful place for both kids and adults — definitely one of the best zoos I’ve ever visited. Highly recommended!
Emil T — Google review
Great value for ticket cost, 176zł (£36.05 for x2 ticket, £18 per person). So many animals, a lot to see, indoor aquarium was amazing and tunnel under the sharks and rays was a highlight. Hot dogs from cafe at beginning were great, little expensive compared to other places (48zł for x2 hot dogs, x1 cola, x1 water, £8.82. Each hot dog at 12zł (£2.45) compared to 8.99zł (£1.84) for hot dogs and cola bottle elsewhere). Gift shop closed hour before zoo closed so missed out on getting any items from there sadly

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

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

Wrocław Central Bus Station

Wrocław Central Bus Station is a vital hub for travelers looking to explore not just the city but also broader Europe. With bus line 106 running every 15 minutes to both the Central Railway Station and the bus station, getting around is a breeze, taking about 40-50 minutes depending on traffic conditions. While some visitors may find it more of a transit point than a destination in itself, they do appreciate certain amenities like Wi-Fi access and clean restroom facilities.
It was easy to find my Flixbus here!! 🙂

Nowhere to sit while you wait. People are standing around in the adjacent shopping centre. The toilets are unventilated. You really feel like a second class citizen when you take the bus here. There should be basic facilities like decent toilets, seats and some tea/coffee/newspaper kiosk.

The entrance is a bit confusing. Yes, its on the first floor of Wroclavia, first floor, north-east part iirc
Daniel — Google review
(Translated by Google) I didn’t have time to appreciate all the delights, so I can’t give it five stars. It was a transfer station along the road. What interested me: the toilet room and wi-fi)) With Wi-Fi, everything is more or less, at least at the Flix bus stop. Features of visiting the toilet: if you want to pay with a card (and I wanted to, because I’m passing through, I don’t have zlotys), then you’ll have to go to the ticket office 🙂 To the regular one, where they sell tickets. She's not far away. I'm lucky. There were only two people in front of me who were buying tickets somewhere. It’s good that it didn’t last long and my situation wasn’t critical😅 so everything is fine (Original) Я не успела оценить все прелести, поэтому не могу поставить пять звёзд. Это была станция пересадки по дороге. Что меня интересовало: туалетная комната и wi-fi )) С Wi Fi всё более-менее, по крайней мере на остановке Flix bus. Особенности посещения туалета: если хотите расплатиться карточкой (а я хотела, ведь я проездом, злотых у меня нет), то вам прийдется пройти в кассу🙂 В обыкновенную, где билеты продают. Она недалеко. Мне повезло. Передо мной было только два человека, которые покупали билеты куда-то. Хорошо, что не долго и у меня ситуация не была критической😅 так что всё хорошо

(Translated by Google) The station looks nice and is well-located, right under the shopping mall and close to the train station. However, the toilet is a disgrace. It's 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning, and it's dirty, smelly, and filthy. The toilet is generally very dilapidated and neglected. Plus, they charge you 3 złoty for using this place. 🫣 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the station. Less than ZERO ⭐️ for the disgusting magpie. 🚽🧻💩🤬🤮 (Original) Dworzec ma ładny wygląd i dobrą lokalizację, bezpośrednio pod galerią i blisko stacji PKP — jednak: toaleta woła o pomstę do nieba, niedziela godzina 8 z rana, a tam brud, smród, syf, ogólnie toaleta strasznie zniszczona i zaniedbana, do tego 3 zeta wołają za skorzystanie z tego przybytku 🫣 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ dla dworca mniej niż ZERO ⭐️ dla ohydnego srocza 🚽🧻💩🤬🤮

Czocha Castle is a 13th-century castle that has been transformed into a dramatic hotel, offering classic rooms and free breakfast. With over 125 rooms, the castle hosts numerous events and provides a rustic yet charming ambiance. The friendly staff and on-site market add to the overall atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy a tasty restaurant, cafe, and even sample honey mead. The castle's beautiful location offers great views and a medieval vibe inside.
Amazing 🤩 we had a tour guide Karolina. She was great, all the knowledge and facts were great. We had a lot of fun walking up and down the secret corridors. Beautiful castle with amazing views around it.

The castle was absolutely magical! 🏰✨ Surrounded by peaceful forests and a lovely lake, the whole area feels like a dream. 🌳🌊 It’s so calm and serene — perfect for a quiet escape into nature. If it’s your first time visiting a castle, get ready for a real-life fairy tale moment! 😍 The view of the castle is simply breathtaking — like something straight out of a storybook. 📖💫 I couldn’t stop smiling the entire time! Truly a place that fills your heart with wonder. 💖 Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience a little enchantment!
Jay G — Google review
I’m leaving my opinion with regards to the visit to the castle, not the hotel. Unfortunately the trip went bad. We have a 2 years old daughter and my wife is 7 months pregnant. Usually this is not an issue and we are used to travel quite a lot, our daughter as well. We visit castles, museums etc. When a visit involves going down or up a very narrow tower or suffocating space, the guide informs visitors in advance. Well, not here. The group was quite numerous for those spaces and at the end of the tour, we were invited to visit the cellars but, little did we know that this involved going down a very very claustrophobic space. So my wife had to go back almost fainting and my little daughter didn’t handle that and I had to follow my wife. Of course with ZERO help from the guide or other visitors. That was just..bad. Overall the experience as a human was negative.
Marco N — Google review
As a foreigner non polish speaking person the experience was mediocre at best. We were told that we could not see the castle unless we joined a tour. They only offered polish speaking tours apparently. The guide seemed mad at us for being there. Very poorly serviceminded. The castle it self was beautiful. But would it recommend for non polish speakers.
Jackie L — Google review
The promotional materials claim that the castle looks like something out of Harry Potter… well, that’s quite an exaggeration. I get that they need to attract tourists somehow, but the PR team really let their imagination run wild here. Take that description with about 2% truth—maybe even less. But the surroundings, especially in autumn, are truly beautiful.
L S — Google review
Fantastic place to visit with great history. As a hotel I would say it mid-range, with simple breakfast and small car park. But the surroundings makes up for that. And quite expensive to be honest.
Przemek A — Google review
It’s true that the castle and its grounds are spectacular — perched above the river with rose gardens and fountains, with its old walls and ramparts intact. The hotel, on the other hand, is a letdown. First, hotel parking was not free nor was it close to the castle. Written info on the castle is not available in English (confusing, as some signage inside is in English). There is no seating in the lobby, which is OK only when weather is nice. The vast majority of the castle is not accessible, nor was a tour offered when I checked in. There are amenities listed online and in their brochure that do not exist (e.g. a sauna and spa facilities). Wifi was spotty and at times did not work at all. think it’s a shame that one of Europe’s most spectacular castle hotels is, as it turns out, not very nice at all.
Jacob O — Google review
I was expecting more, at least something like Książ. Unfortunately, the group was quite big and noisy and at times it was hard to hear the guide. The castle itself is just average, not more than that. The ticket price is 10 euros for an adult, which is 5 times more expensive than in some Spanish castles. I wouldn't go there again and wouldn't recommend it to my friends either.

Waly Chrobrego, also known as Chrobry Embankment, is a historic landmark in Szczecin, Poland. This elevated promenade was built in 1902 and stretches along the Oder river for about 500 meters. It offers stunning views of the water and iconic buildings such as Ducal Castle, the National Museum, and the Cathedral Basilica of St James the Apostle.
Great architecture and great view point to see the harbor. Even if you don’t haven’t time to get into buildings, it is worthwhile to sit on the benches along the walkway and see the river, the harbor and transportation on land and on the water.

The Frauenkirche Dresden is a stunning Baroque church that was reconstructed and reconsecrated in 2005 after being destroyed during World War II. It is part of the magnificent architectural ensemble in Dresden, often referred to as 'The Florence on the Elbe,' which includes the Semper Opera House, Zwinger, Royal Palace, Cathedral St. Trinitatis (Hofkriche), and Castle Pillnitz.
This church is majestic and feels like a center piece of the city. The surrounding area with the church makes this place very picturesque. There is a called rubble from the past that is kept next to the church which is a nice little touch. This is definitely a must visit site in Dresden
Anand — Google review
We visited as it’s our last day, it’s pretty impressive how much money, time, and effort to rebuild all these historic buildings, including this Church of our Lady. Inside still haven’t had much to see but still nice to visit. Free entry but if you wish to climb up to the viewing tower over 100 steps then have a fee.
Pasan S — Google review
This is a beautiful church that is the jewel of Dresden. I loved visiting the church as well as sitting outside in one of the many cafes and restaurants and taking in the view. Church entrance is free. It’s gorgeous inside. If you want to climb up the dome, you need to go around the back. I think it was €12 entrance. The views are great from the top. There are a good few steps going up to start and then there is a ramp around the dome which makes it far easier to ascend.
Gary W — Google review
Brilliant history! In the final days of WWII, the whole city was bombed including this church which was a very important part of Dresden. Following the reunification of German, it was rebuilt using some of the original stone! The building is incredible and there is a stunning view from the top. A must visit!

Frauenkirche Dresden, A symbol of peace and rebirth. Destroyed during World War II and rebuilt from its original stones, the Church of Our Lady stands today as a powerful reminder of faith, resilience, and hope. Its magnificent dome shines once again over the heart of Dresden
Ali A — Google review
It's free to walk into the main part of the church where you can see the beautiful interior, and 10€ per person to climb to the top of the church. The stairs are pretty easy most of the way up, and up until after you finish walking up a big sloped ramp near the end you must also get up some VERY steep and skinny stairs (so beware, if you're a claustrophobe or don't like heights). But the view of Dresden is so worth it if you do it.
Caleb M — Google review
The magnificent Frauenkirche! When I last visited decades ago, the church was nothing but a pile of rubble—or more accurately, a heap of stones—serving as a stark reminder of the devastation of war. Reconstruction began in 1994, and on October 30, 2005, it was officially reopened. The church hall is impressively tall and richly decorated. You can climb up to the dome, but we didn’t have time for that on this visit. I’m sure the views from up there—both into the church and across Dresden—are breathtaking. If you only have time to visit one attraction in Dresden, I’d choose the Frauenkirche.

Fürstenzug

Points of Interest & Landmarks
In Dresden, Saxony, one of the most captivating attractions is the Fürstenzug, also known as the Procession of Princes. This impressive 102-meter-long mural made of 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles showcases the history of the House of Wettin, spanning from the 12th to the 19th century.
The Fürstenzug in Dresden is an impressive mural made of Meissen porcelain tiles, depicting the history of Saxon rulers. At over 100 meters long, it is one of the largest porcelain artworks in the world. The level of detail in the figures is truly fascinating, bringing history to life. A must-see historical landmark when visiting Dresden!
Victoria M — Google review
The Fürstenzug took me by surprise—so detailed and grand, yet tucked along a quiet street. From my perspective, it’s one of those places that really brings history to life. The scale and craftsmanship of the porcelain mural are incredible, and it’s amazing how well it’s been preserved. It’s definitely worth pausing here while exploring the old town—it doesn’t take long, but it leaves a lasting impression.
Koel G — Google review
the procession of princes is enormous 102-meter-long porcelain mural that basically tells the history of saxony. it features 94 figures of all the saxon rulers and nobles in chronological order, starting way back in 1127. what's really cool is that it's made from an incredible 25,000 meissen porcelain tiles, which makes it the world's largest porcelain artwork. you'll find it right on augustusstraße, so it's super easy to check out as you're walking between dresden's main attractions. and the best part? you can view it completely free
KK — Google review
What an excellent and exquisite display of porcelain art. I believe the art shows a march of the Saxon ruler dynasty and is the larger porcelain mural in the world. When you come upon the wall, the sheer size of it is jaw dropping. You won’t be able to believe what you are seeing. It is beautiful. This is a must see sight when you visit Dresden.
Anand — Google review
We visited the Fürstenzug in December 2024 during the Christmas market, and we were truly impressed. Hahhh, what can I say or express? It was an incredible experience to stand in front of this massive wall of history. This open-air artwork is both grand and full of detail, yet located on a quiet street in Dresden’s historic center. * Stretching 102 meters long, the mural is made of over 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles and portrays the genealogy of the Wettin dynasty, which ruled Saxony for centuries. It’s considered the largest porcelain mural in the world. Originally painted between 1871 and 1876, it was later replaced with porcelain tiles from 1904 to 1907 to withstand the weather. In addition to princes, kings, and dukes, the mural also features scientists, craftsmen, farmers, and even children — which gives the artwork a more human and timeless feel. It’s a true open-air history lesson. The visit is free, quick, and unforgettable. Definitely worth stopping by while exploring the Old Town. And afterward, take a break at one of the lovely nearby cafés! I Recommend it.

This beautiful and historic mural, which we explored during a walking tour, runs along the Oberlandesgericht (Higher Regional Court) building.

It’s free to view, and you could spend 15-20 minutes here as part of a walking tour of Dresden’s historic centre.

The museum itself is quite good — a very rich exhibition, definitely worth seeing. However, the overall impression was seriously spoiled by the staff. Already at the ticket counter, the employees were rude to visitors, and unfortunately, the same attitude continued inside the museum. It felt as if they were retired Stasi officers — the interaction was that cold and unpleasant. We've never experienced anything like this in any other museum.

Definitely one of the many must-see attractions in Dresden. Received unfortunately worldwide media attention because of the heist in 2019, of which the most valuable pieces are still missing.

We visited as part of a Viking tour group. Be aware that you will have to check your bag (even if it's small), and save your ticket for the restrooms. Lifts are available. We had no problems bringing in phones and taking pictures, and the staff were pleasant. I recommend a guide if possible if only because these pieces have a lot of history, from technique of manufacturing, provenance, and their survival throughout the war. The stories a guide can provide really make or break this experience, I think.

It's really worth visiting this museum. 3 hours of walking around this huge area (without using audio guides) with many different exhibitions. PS. Buy a ticket for the "new" part if it's possibly to buy just this one. The historical part is just 20min, where you can't take pictures

This place has so much to see. I would not bother with a tour. We had signed our 10th graders up for a tour and it was way too short. Sadly, you do not really get to see that much on the on the tour.

Dresden Zwinger is a stunning Baroque building that houses a porcelain collection and exhibits on historic scientific instruments. The city of Dresden, often referred to as 'The Florence on the Elbe,' boasts magnificent architectural wonders like the Semper Opera House, Royal Palace, Cathedral St. Trinitatis, Castle Pillnitz, and Frauenkirche. Despite the devastation of World War II, Dresden has persevered and regained its beauty.
The building is still under construction 🚧 and the garden also. But it’s still beautiful, they allowed tourists to go inside the garden for free and walking up to the fortress area to see the view on both sides of the castle and city. The beautiful historical arts and history is worth to visit, very close to the Opera House too.

Magnificent Baroque palace, initially build by August Strong as a an orangery and gardens, destroyed by the ally bombings in 1945, restored in 50s and 60s . You can walk on the roof of the galleries and admire the beauty of it. It's open till late evening and the entrance is free.The inner garden part is currently ( as of August 2025) under renovation. The galleries house 2 museums - one of mathematical instruments and another is porcelain gallery ( which I highly recommend). When we were there in one of the towers a classical music concert was held. It was beautiful to listen to music in a such beautiful place.
Elllen K — Google review
I visited the Zwinger in Dresden and really enjoyed the experience. There is a lot to see here, and the place itself feels quite special. The architecture is impressive and honestly a bit overwhelming – you can just stand there and keep looking at all the details. Every corner has something interesting, from the buildings themselves to the sculptures and the way everything is arranged. It was a bit crowded when I visited, but that didn’t really stop me from enjoying it. You still have plenty of space to walk around and take your time. I found myself slowing down just to notice the small details, and it was worth it. Overall, I think it’s one of those places you shouldn’t miss if you’re in Dresden. It’s not only about seeing a landmark, but also about the feeling of being surrounded by such a unique piece of history and design.

The architecture is breathtaking, with elegant palace buildings, detailed façades and peaceful courtyards that make the whole complex feel almost magical. It’s the kind of place where you can just stroll around, soak in the atmosphere, admire the gardens, and truly appreciate the history and beauty of Dresden. A must-see when visiting the city.

What a beautiful palace. Baroque at its best. Apparently nearly completely destroyed during world War 2 it now shines once more. Different exhibitions at the 4 wings with porcelain, old master and physics. Close to all the downtown historic buildings. In walking distance to the Frauenkirche. A definite must see.

The Zwinger in Dresden is one of the city’s most stunning Baroque landmarks. Its elegant courtyards and ornate pavilions make it perfect for walking around and taking photos. The Old Masters Gallery, home to the “Sistine Madonna,” is a highlight, along with impressive porcelain and scientific collections. The site is well-kept, atmospheric, and beautiful both day and night. A visit truly feels worthwhile.

Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum

Mentioned on 
8 lists 
Botanical garden
Nature & Parks
The Berlin-Dahlem Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum is a sprawling 126-acre botanical garden that originated as the kitchen and herb garden of the Royal Palace in 1679. It houses over 20,000 plant species from Europe, tropical, and subtropical regions. The Great Tropical House showcases diverse flora, while there are gardens dedicated to medicinal plants and marine/marsh plants. Visitors can also explore an arboretum, glasshouses, and a museum displaying archaeological finds.
The greenhouses are stunning! It's curated into geographical regions. There's rainforest and desert sections and it's very easy to walk through. The outdoor area is also really beautifully designed. Plenty of spaces to sit and have a picnic. You can lay on the grass in some areas too. They have a cafe and bar area so you can get snacks and drinks. The garden is huge too, so you can easily spend half a day here. Amazing.
Holly C — Google review
You could spend a whole day here! It is absolutely gorgeous and so peaceful. I always try to go to a botanical garden when I travel. I spent about 4 hours here strolling the grounds and greenhouses. My favorite area was the pond with all the lily pads and chatty frogs. I highly recommend visiting if you have the time.

Botanical Garden & Museum Berlin – A Deep Breath of Nature This garden is more than a green space — it’s a living story of the earth. Each path and greenhouse reveals a new layer of nature’s beauty. From giant palm trees and alpine flowers to rare medicinal herbs, the diversity is stunning. The tropical greenhouses are a true escape, especially in winter, filled with orchids, ferns, and plants from across the globe. The museum adds context with fascinating exhibitions on plant life, culture, and evolution. Whether you’re a botanist, photographer, or just looking for peace, this place is worth every visit.
Anas S — Google review
Very nice botanical garden. They're more focused on displaying regions and their plant life, than on "look, this is a pretty garden". They for example recreated the Alps on a scale of 1:10,000. Nevertheless, they do have some very pretty areas.

Mesmerizingly beautiful and lush, Berlin Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum is one of Berlin's somewhat underrated gems. Admission is very reasonable, with children under 14 getting in for free and adult tickets being at 10 euros. An absolute highlight of our visit was an elegant and curious red fox 🦊that kept reappearing. As if we got a bonus admission to a zoo🤪 Fun memories to behold!

Great place with very unique flora. Was lucky to get there for this unique giant flower - info on the photo. The only unfortunate thing is that you can’t use ticket for a day, it’s only for one entrance. Hopefully this will be changed in the future. Otherwise - amazing place!

House of the Wannsee Conference

Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
The House of the Wannsee Conference stands as a haunting reminder of one of history's darkest chapters. This lakeside villa, where Nazi officials convened in 1942 to orchestrate the horrific 'Final Solution' aimed at exterminating European Jewry, has been transformed into a poignant memorial and educational center. Visitors can explore the chilling logistics behind this tragedy while reflecting on its profound implications for humanity.
The beauty of this place and wonderful weather I had on the day of my visit emphasised the clashing experience of what happened here in 1942. Very well prepared exhibition with many resources and interest g forms of exhibition. Entrance is free so is the car park. Highly recommend, also as a picturesque nature spot at the lake.

A visit to the Wannsee Villa is highly recommended. This historic site, where the Final Solution of the Holocaust was planned, offers a deeply informative and compelling museum experience. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and a serene lake, the setting adds a peaceful contrast to the weight of its history. It’s an important place to learn, reflect, and remember.

For me it was spinechilling to walk around the mansion where the famous conference was held. The park and the mansion is very attractive inside there is an exhibit with a lot of documents, photos. Upstairs you can find a huge library with a lot of books on holocaust. I would definitely suggest visiting this place. Entrance is free.

Hot Spring Colonnade

Mentioned on 
+32 other lists 
Nature & Parks
Hot Springs & Geysers
Vřídelní kolonáda, also known as the Sprudl Colonnade, is a concrete structure built above natural hot springs in Karlovy Vary. The best-known spring, Vridlo, is the hottest at 72°C and shoots water up to 12 meters high at a pressure that releases 2000 liters per minute. This geyser and four other springs can be sampled for free inside the functionalist building from the 70s.
A beautiful city, the place is very special. Of course, you can't heal or strengthen your health from a single visit to these springs, but the experience of feeling and connection when I walk from spring to spring and taste the water that important people from all over Western and Eastern Europe drank, for hundreds of years, this experience is very special. You don't have to taste all the springs, but you can ask people which springs are best to taste in order to get an impression. I also bought the famous glass with a straw on which all the springs of the place are written. And now this glass stands in a vase as a memory of my visit to this special place
Elisha L — Google review
The Hot Spring Colonnade is home to Vřídlo—the hottest and most famous spring in Karlovy Vary, and usually the first stop on the town’s "spa trail." The water here reaches an impressive 74.4°C and shoots up as a powerful geyser inside the glass building. ⛲️ While the spring itself is fascinating, I’m giving it 4 stars mainly because of the building’s heavy, almost communist-era vibe—something a few other visitors have also pointed out. That said, it’s still a must-see. You can also learn some interesting facts inside—like how the local mineral water is used to produce unique stone souvenirs by letting minerals slowly solidify over time. Definitely worth a quick visit as part of your spa town experience!
Cyntia P — Google review
A fascinating spot to discover in Karlovy Vary! This landmark is not only part of the city’s rich history but also one of its highlights. The hottest spring reaches 72°C, shooting up to nearly 10 meters high. Built in the 19th century with a filtration system, the water here can be safely enjoyed straight from the source. It’s an experience you shouldn’t miss – just remember to bring a cup!

Observation deck
Outdoor Activities
The Diana Observation Tower, also known as the Dianaturm, is a 35-meter-tall tetragonal brick structure built in 1914. It offers breathtaking views of Karlovy Vary and its surroundings, with visibility extending up to 70 kilometers on clear days. Visitors can reach the tower by taking well-marked trails from the town center or enjoying a short funicular railway ride.
Diana Observation Tower is a great spot for panoramic views over Karlovy Vary. You can either hike up or take the funicular, which runs (at least in summer) every 15 minutes. Funicular is located right next to the Grandhotel Pupp. Once you reach the top, the tower is just a few steps away. There’s even an elevator inside, so you don’t need to climb the stairs—especially nice on a hot day. From the top, you get stunning views of the city and the surrounding forest. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town! 🗼
Cyntia P — Google review
Diana Observation Tower is a must-see attraction in Karlovy Vary! Not only does it offer stunning panoramic views of the city and surrounding forests, but the entire area is peaceful and beautifully maintained.

A truly delightful experience for nature lovers and travelers alike!

A must-visit place for anyone coming to Karlovy Vary!

Beautiful 360 degree view of the region. There's also a small, budget-friendly kiosk selling street food and drinks in front of the tower. If you don't have any serious limitations, I suggest getting a one-way ticket. Take the funicular up and walk down while enjoying the view. Observation tower itself is free. You pay for the funicular.

Singing Fountain

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.

Völkerschlachtdenkmal

Mentioned on 
+54 other lists 
Memorial
Sights & Landmarks
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations is a 91-meter-high memorial in Leipzig, commemorating the 1813 battle where Napoleon was defeated. It features a viewing platform and a history museum. Leipzig offers diverse attractions such as the Leipzig Book Fair, Bach Festival, cultural events, green spaces like the Riverside Forest and botanical gardens, and landmarks including the Bach Museum and St. Nicholas Church.
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations (Völkerschlachtdenkmal) is an absolute must-see in Leipzig. Towering at 91 meters, it commemorates the historic 1813 Battle of Leipzig, one of the largest conflicts in European history, where Napoleon’s army was decisively defeated. This striking monument is not only a symbol of resistance and unity but also a masterpiece of early 20th-century architecture. Surrounded by a tranquil reflecting pool and parkland, the monument offers an awe-inspiring exterior and an equally impressive interior. Visitors can ascend to the top for panoramic views of Leipzig and explore the solemn halls, giant warrior statues, and crypt-like chambers that leave a lasting emotional impact. Its grand scale, peaceful atmosphere, and deep historical significance make it one of the most important landmarks in the city. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or simply a curious traveler, this site offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Clean, well-maintained, and accessible, the Völkerschlachtdenkmal is more than just a monument—it’s a place of memory, reflection, and beauty. If you're visiting Leipzig, this iconic site belongs at the top of your list.
Alazani V — Google review
At the entrance, a welcoming entrance with an airy crypt with heating. On the first floor there was a film that explains the entire history from the origins in the early 1800s to the present day. Viewing is recommended. Then you climb up to the first internal cornice, which is very overhanging. You then climb to the upper floors, and then you reach the first external cornice located under the feet of the statues that can be seen from outside. You can take the elevator up to that level. From there, you climb to the highest part of the building with a very narrow but well-made stone staircase. A visit is recommended to better understand the history of the city. Full adult ticket price €12

This intense and impressive monument is a MUST SEE if you are in Leipzig. The scale is stunning and is reminiscent of the Mines of Moria in Lord of the Rings. There are multiple lifts but if you want to get to the top viewing area, you have to use the stairs and it is a little walk. No bad, but most people emerged a little winded and sweaty. The sweeping views of Leipzig are great and, if you go on a sunny day, you can see many miles/kilometers in every direction. Highly recommended.
Chad T — Google review
A really impressive monument. It really makes you feel the enormity of the event being memorialized much like the World War I monument in Kansas City. There was a feeling of heaviness about the monument and it made me feel retrospective. A very nice visit. A stroll through the cemetery nextdoor is also warranted.

the monument to the battle of the nations in leipzig is a massive, seriously impressive monument commemorating napoleon's defeat in the 1813 battle. it's one of europe's largest, and you can climb to the top for panoramic views of leipzig. inside, the huge stone figures are really powerful. it's a bit outside the city center but easily reached by tram and definitely worth a visit for its history and scale

Promenaden Hauptbahnhof Leipzig is not your average train station. It's a bustling 3-story complex with over 140 shops, cafes, and grocery markets. The dramatic architecture adds to the charm of this major local transport hub. With around 150 different shops and stores, many of which remain open until late on weekdays, it's a shopper's paradise. The restored Promenade nearby offers a pleasant contrast to other areas of the city and is worth exploring.
Leipzig Hauptbahnhof is a bustling transportation hub that seamlessly blends historic architecture with modern amenities. Its impressive design, efficient layout, and numerous shops and restaurants make it a convenient and enjoyable place to travel through. However, it can get quite busy at peak times, so be prepared for crowds. Overall, it's a well-maintained and functional station that serves as a gateway to Leipzig and beyond.

So far the nicest Bahnhof I've seen in Germany, always busy with people passing through and people just coming to shop. As it houses so many great stores to shop in over 3 levels with so many things to see and amazing food options. You can't come to leipzig without seeing it as it is the main train station. Even made more lovely around Christmas or as they say Weinachten, as lots more food stalls open up.

Zoo Leipzig is a top destination in Germany, offering an immersive experience for visitors to observe 850 different animal species in habitats that closely resemble their natural environments. From watching elephants swim through an underwater glass wall to encountering black howler monkeys and playful penguins, the zoo provides a diverse range of experiences. Visitors can also explore themed areas such as the tropical Gondwanaland, home to Germany's only Komodo Dragon, and the unique Pongoland featuring various primate species.
Leipzig Zoo is hands down the best zoo I’ve ever been to – just go! The area is massive and beautifully designed, with tons of space to explore. The animals are surprisingly close, and there’s an amazing variety – I saw species I’d never even heard of before. There are plenty of spots to grab food or a drink along the way, which makes the whole visit super chill. The highlight for me was the tropical hall *Gondwanaland* – a huge indoor rainforest with its own climate. It’s seriously impressive and makes the whole experience feel really unique.

Leipzig Zoo is one of the best zoos I‘ve ever visited. Large enclosures. Many events throughout the day. Amazing infrastructure (you can find maps, sign posts, and directions for a tour that leads you through the entire zoo everywhere). They also don’t solely focus on the animals as mere entertainment but seek to inform kids in playful ways about preservation/biology/even physics in the aquarium. Leipzig Zoo also provides a variety of restaurants and snack bars that are evenly distributed across the entire Zoo. I wholly recommend visiting, whether alone or with friends and family. It’s an amazing and informative experience!

Rony W — Google review
This zoo park was fantastic. I would recommend this to everyone. There is so much to see and you should have water with you because food and water prices there is too expensive. WC is free which is very good. And I suggest you guys to go early there, zoo opens at 9 am and closes at 7pm. As I mentioned earlier there is lot to see so you probably will need some rest. And one good thing about this zoo park is that you see animals without any borders and it is kind of crazy but it is safe. So enjoy with your trip everyone.

St. Peter Cathedral, a magnificent example of High Gothic architecture, stands proudly in the heart of Regensburg, dominating the skyline with its impressive bell towers. Originally constructed around 700 and later rebuilt in 1273 after a fire, this stunning cathedral is not only an architectural marvel but also home to the renowned Regensburger Domspatzen choir.
Amazing place to Visit. Such an incredible architectural work. But if you need to go inside, you have to see their religious activities time. Because at that time doors were closed to the visitors.every thing was fine and tremendous work and were well maintained to the future generation.

St. Peter’s Cathedral is absolutely breathtaking. The Gothic architecture is stunning, with soaring spires, intricate stonework, and beautiful stained glass windows that create a peaceful, awe-inspiring atmosphere inside. It’s hard not to be impressed by the history and craftsmanship. Even if you’re not typically into churches, this one is worth the stop. It’s right in the heart of Regensburg, so very easy to visit while exploring the old town. Highly recommend taking a few quiet moments inside—truly a highlight of the city.

Massive pure Gernan gothic church that was built from the end of the 13th to the beginning of the 16th century using the architecture of French cathedrals as an example. The inside is dark and has beautiful details like the silver altar. The stained glass windows from the 13th and 14th century are impressive and the most extensive, still preserved, collection of medieval stained glass in the German-speaking world. An interesting detail was a large waterwell with a hoist and bucket inside the church which was used as a secure source of water for the clergy, cathedral staff and cleaning.
Seimen B — Google review
The cathedral is truly impressive! A magnificent structure that’s hundreds of years old. I can’t even say whether I liked it more from the outside or the inside. Every day in summer, the organ plays at noon, it’s absolutely amazing! An architectural masterpiece that definitely deserves attention. The only downside is that the exterior has been under renovation for many years.

Learned so much about German history from our Viking excursion to Regensburg Cathedral. Stepping into this medieval masterpiece, we were instantly awed by its towering Gothic architecture and the sheer scale of the place. The amazing stained glass windows, glowing with centuries-old craftsmanship, were absolutely breathtaking. Our guide wove fascinating tales about the cathedral’s medieval sculptures and its historical significance as a key center of Christianity in Europe, making the past feel alive and vibrant. The world’s largest hanging organ was a true marvel, suspended like something out of a dream, and its presence added to the cathedral’s awe-inspiring atmosphere. Learning about the Regensburg bishopric’s influence gave us a deeper appreciation for the city’s role in shaping European history. This cathedral is a must-see for anyone visiting Regensburg—its beauty and stories will leave you speechless. Highly recommend making time for this incredible landmark!

The Old Stone Bridge, also known as Steinerne Brucke, is a historic medieval bridge in Regensburg, Germany. Constructed in the 1100s in Romanesque style, it spans 300m over the Danube River with its impressive 16 arches. For over 800 years, it served as the city's sole river crossing and played a crucial role in trade and government activities.
Visited on Sunday and was so busy at that time on the bridge. so stunning views and the wind come from the Danube river make so much of a pretty environment there. The perfect place to stay and enjoy your vacation day. The river bank of the Danube is so stunning in the afternoon.

Regensburg is a charming old city and this bridge is its emblem. It was built over 800 years ago. It offers splendid sights over the Danube. Lots of people go there, as well as on a picnic around it on the banks of the river. There are ducks living around too.

Regensburg is a romantic and a very beautiful city. The bridge area is a very dynamic area with a lot of people, many souvenir shops, terraces of all kinds. The atmosphere in summer is super pleasant.

A beautiful bridge built in the Middle Ages with many arches across the Danube river. On both side of the river are the many tourist attractions and eateries. We came during some kind of festival and so fun to see so many people dressed up in the traditional clothings.

A car free bridge for pedestrians and bicyclists offers a spectacular view of the city. This 12th century bridge faces the Danube. It’s even more stunning at night.

Go on a Sunday. It's less touristy and you can do a short walk for just about an hour around the place, take good photos and leave for other towns nearby.

It's one of the sightseeing sites you shouldn't miss once you're in Regensburg. Lovely, mediaeval bridge crossing the Danube.

We visited Regensburg for the 2024 Christmas market season. The old town is very walkable. We were able to visit all the Christmas markets on foot including the small market just across the bridge. We had the best pork sandwich with horseradish at this tiny market. One of the best things we ate during our 9 day Christmas market trip. Took this beautiful photo from the bridge.

Nature & Parks
Historical landmark
Park an der Ilm, a UNESCO-listed green space in Weimar, was established in 1778 and covers 48 hectares along the river Ilm. It is historically significant and showcases exquisite landscape design from the 18th century. The park features trails, monuments, classical temples, and sculptures designed by Duke Carl August with input from Goethe. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Haus am Horn, a prototype for German single-family homes located on a hill above the park.
Peaceful with no noisy playground, even cyclists are barred from most of it, so a secure place to walk and jog. Quite a few dog-walkers, but didn't see any receptacles for 'poo', so probably pick it up and take it with you..!

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

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

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

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

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

Veste Coburg, a medieval fortress towering above the center of Coburg, is a former palace of the Electors of Saxony. It houses an extensive collection of decorative and fine art, including works by renowned painters such as Rembrandt, Durer, and Cranach the Elder. The fortress features triple fortified walls and is considered one of the best-preserved and largest castles in Germany.
Veste Coburg is an absolute gem among German castles! Its impressive walls, rich history, and stunning views of the surrounding area make it a must-visit. The interiors are filled with fascinating exhibits, and the museum offers an interesting collection of art and weaponry. Walking through the courtyard and along the castle walls is a real pleasure, especially on a sunny day. Bonus points for the well-presented historical information and friendly staff. I highly recommend it to all history enthusiasts and lovers of beautiful landscapes!

Very nice. You can enter the Castle free of charge or book a tour as well. Take the walk through the „Hofgarten“, which is very nice with many playgrounds for the kids and places to rest. Takes roughly 30min from the City Center.

Big castle on a big hill, well lit in the evening visible well from the city. Offers a great view, shame the best spots are closed in the evening.
