Lovely mall. Clean and nicely air conditioned. Great variety of shops over three floors. Ample underground parking which is free. Always a winner 🏆 Food court not great though. KFC always jammed and very slow. Hessburger busy and slow too. McDonald’s always get the order wrong. Aladdin just cold, badly cooked crap. 💩

Nice modern mall with good balance of international and local / regional brands. Also wide possibilities for refreshments, drinks, coffee and food. I would definitely come back. Surprisingly fast access with public transport bus Б2 so even from the city center it is 15 mins away.

Horrible shopping centre. Every shop I went to the customer service was a negative experience. No-one seems to want to work here with a smile. The only positive is the parking is free. They must have issues with shoplifting etc. as the security are very keen to keep a close eye on shoppers. I would have bought items from a number of outlets but was totally put off by the experience. Particularly in Nike, Zara and worst of the lot Starbucks. In contrast to shops in the centre of Burgas where everyone seemed lovely. I won't be revisiting if I'm ever back in Burgas

During my visit I encountered significant issues with both your staff and facilities. When I approached the information desk for assistance, the staff member was engaged in a personal phone conversation and showed no willingness to help. This is unacceptable behavior for someone whose role is to provide support and information to visitors. Furthermore, upon leaving the mall, the car park was completely blocked. Vehicles were stuck for an extended period of time, and no communication or explanation was provided as to why the delay was occurring or how long it would take. This lack of organization and information caused unnecessary frustration and inconvenience.

We didn’t even manage to enter. Horrible traffic until we reach the mall, there were no free parking lots above so the security guided everybody to the underground parking… which was also full! So we were stuck underground for more than hour with two children-no free parking lots and too much traffic to exit fast! Horrible experience-will never repeat this spot!

Hello I come here With a probem from your store locating in Burgas ( Mall Galleria Burgas ) The iqos island located in mall I was there and I have ask to buy 4 boxes of Terea Turquoise The Young lady sayd is 260 Bgn /leva I payd With card and I have received 4 boxes one bag and a bon / recipe that says 260 leva After I leave and I have seen that in my bank App The sume 360 leva have been taken I Will report this further with The proper authorities

A good place for families especially kids. It has an indoor play area, arcade with Playstation area, bowling and cinema. Very busy in season though. Shops are ok and it has a food court with a fairly good choice. Including Hesburger, McDonald's, KFC, Subway, Pizza, Sushi and traditional Bulgarian food. There is also a gym. The outside car park gets mega busy though so use the inside one 😉

It is very beautiful to find yourself in such a place full of history, it really makes you feel special being able to walk through it and imagine all the things that have been taking place ever since it was built. The entrance is 15 leva which you can pay by card/cash at the entrance. Beware it is a long distance to walk and mostly uphill. The view is breathtaking so it's worth it. Talking about the interior, it felt kitschy and totally not in harmony with the outside and with the idea of a thousand year old fortress.It was too modern and somehow in my head it didn't add up. But beside that, the surroundings are magnificent.

Very nice place for a walk. Not recommended to visit on torrid days in the summer time. You need at least 2 hours to visit. I didn't find a map and a written guide at ticket store or gift store. Toilet inside is cash only 1 Lev. Everything must be paid with cash in Bulgarian currency leva. You can pay with card just the tickets at the main entrance.

Amazing place with incredible views and so much history. The walk up is a bit steep, but totally worth it once you reach the top. The ruins are well preserved and the light show in the evening is awesome. Definitely a must-see if you visit Veliko Tarnovo!

The fortress is well kept and some parts are renovated very well. It takes you to the time when Bulgarian was under Ottoman occupation and how they lived before that. Really nice for a walk and the church is really nice inside.

Number one tip is to arrive when it opens before the crowds. Number two tip you must wear supportive shoes. Stay hydrated. Commanding views of the city and plenty of history to absorb. Should be included on any trip to the city.

Riveting experience exploring the old Bulgarian fortress monument. The area was not very crowded at around 13:00pm when my crew was there. The grounds are well preserved as well as clean. There is plenty to see with the Church at the summit and the meandering walls around the hill overlooking the city and yantra river. Free parking can be found by the yantra beach/ bridge, and from there a short walk or bus ride up to the site.

You need at least 2 hours to visit. Nice view. I didn't find a map and a written guide at ticket store or gift store. Toilet inside is cash only 1 Lev.

Sofia’s most iconic and grand cathedral, and its size combined with its stunning architecture gives it a truly commanding presence. Construction: Built between 1882 and 1912 to honor Russian soldiers who died during the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878), which liberated Bulgaria from Ottoman rule. Architectural Style: Neo-Byzantine, with striking gold-plated domes and intricate frescoes inside. Capacity: Can accommodate up to 5,000 people, making it one of the largest Eastern Orthodox cathedrals in the world. Features: Lavish interior with marble columns, mosaics, icons, and a massive iconostasis. Significance: Serves as the patriarchal cathedral of Bulgaria, a national symbol of faith, history, and Bulgarian liberation.

The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is absolutely stunning and definitely a must see in Sofia. The architecture is breathtaking, from the golden domes to the beautifully detailed interior. What really impressed me is the feeling this place gives you. It truly evokes emotion, reflection and a quiet sense of presence. Inside, the frescoes are exceptional, full of depth and beauty, and they make the whole experience even more meaningful. Even if you have seen many cathedrals before, this one really stands out. Iconic, impressive and full of history, it adds something special to your time in Sofia.

The Saint Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is one of those places that truly catches your eye the moment you see it. Its massive size, golden domes, and unique architecture make it stand out instantly in the city. You can’t help but stop and admire it from the outside. Once you step inside, the atmosphere completely changes. It’s quiet, spacious, and full of beautiful details. The murals, icons, and soft lighting create a calm and almost mystical feeling that makes you want to walk slowly and take everything in. One of the best things is that entrance is completely free, so visiting is very easy. The area around the cathedral is also lovely for a walk, taking photos, or just enjoying a bit of local life.

Such a wonderful cathedral and the largest in the Balkans. It's Neo-Byzantine style is glamorous and admirable. The artwork and chandeliers were such an eyesight. The cathedral is a symbol of Sofia and must visit. There was no wait time during the week and no tickets. A small donation to light up a candle is a nice idea. The crowd was very low.

I was lucky enough to walk in during service and it was magical. There was a beautiful choir singing and the sound was spectacular. I was in tears. The building and the energy almost commands you to be present. The visitors were very respectful. A must visit. I would assume Saturday afternoon is when they have a service.

Free entry. You can either pray or visit or both. One of the most iconic landmarks in Sofia with pure golden roof finish donated by Russia long time ago. Inside, all those riches and hand painted pictures of all Bulgarian saints. Regardless of your faith, it must been seen while visited Sofia.

A breathtaking masterpiece Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is one of those places that compels you to stop, look up, and remain silent. Its grandeur can be perceived from afar, but it is only when you get closer that you can truly appreciate every detail: golden domes shining in the sun, a majestic facade, and an almost magical feeling that accompanies every step. Upon entering, the atmosphere changes completely: soft lighting, the scent of incense, and wonderful icons that tell centuries of faith and history. Even those who are not religious cannot remain indifferent in the face of such beauty. Everything seems to speak of spirituality, art, and Bulgarian identity. I recommend visiting both during the day, to admire its architectural magnificence, and in the evening, when the lighting makes it even more evocative. A must-see for anyone passing through Sofia: it is not just a cathedral, it is an experience that remains in your heart.

If you are interested in a better angle for photos, head over to the back of the church by the park. It is less busy and more chances of you getting a solo shot. This is the more humble and smaller church in the old city of Sofia. The architecture itself is reflective of most Orthodox Christian churches with the orb cupolas which are glistening and gleaming of gold. Still a cool stop to make during your walks!

This little Russian Revival style church is so cute and worth the visit. The golden domes are so unique of Russian churches and very attractive from afar. No wait or tickets and very little crowd during the week. Definitely worth a visit to receive blessings of St.Nicholas the Wonder-Maker 🙏🏼

I was truly impressed seeing this church, even if only from the outside. It looks like it came straight out of a fairy tale! The Muscovite-style architecture is very rich, full of details and vibrant colors. What stands out the most, without a doubt, are its golden, onion-shaped domes, which shine brightly and stand out in the city center. It is a unique building, different from everything around it, and perfect for taking some memorable photos.

Free entry. I was so impressed by this Russian Orthodox church, well maintained and looks just amazing inside. Plenty of people who only come to visit and plenty of people came to pray. Please respect both set of humans.

Beautiful orthodox church. Inside is very simple but prayerful.

I love classy things. This church is exactly that. No photos inside so you will have to have a look for yourself 😉

The Church of St. Nicholas the Miraclemaker (Църква „Свети Николай Мирликийски“) is a hidden gem in Sofia that captivates visitors with its charm and spiritual ambiance. This small yet elegant church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, boasts beautifully preserved frescoes and intricate wooden carvings that reflect traditional Bulgarian Orthodox art. The peaceful atmosphere invites quiet reflection, making it a wonderful spot to pause amidst the city’s bustle. Its historical significance and timeless beauty make it a must-visit for anyone exploring Sofia’s cultural heritage.

Vitosha Boulevard is the pulsing heart of Sofia’s city life. Walking down this wide, lively street, you’re surrounded by chic boutiques, cozy cafés, and the buzz of people enjoying the day. The view of Vitosha Mountain at the end of the boulevard gives it a stunning backdrop, making every stroll feel cinematic. It’s the kind of place where you can wander aimlessly, sip a coffee, watch street performers, and feel the city’s rhythm. By night, the lights and laughter give it a whole new energy — Vitosha Boulevard isn’t just a street, it’s Sofia’s living room.

The main street of the city with many restaurants, shops and interesting spots.

Not to be missed. Good walking. Fresh air. Beautiful space. Nice people!

For walking and exploring city one of the main road

very long and nice central street

Was there every day when i visited Bulgaria, very beautiful street with lots of shops and withe a nice vibe

Excellent place to walk around, do some shopping and then sit down to relax and eat food

Amazing place, the favourite place of Mr.Musk. You need to see with your eyes, so can feel the real deal. If you want to fly with the balloon, you need to be on site 6:15AM, park in front of the police station and follow the lights :)

Here’s a more vivid review in English: An absolutely cosmic place — the mountains look as if they belong to another planet. The landscape is breathtaking, surreal, and unforgettable. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

There is a parking lot right next to the entrance pf the fortress. Paid parking 2,5 euro for the hall stay. The entrance price of the fortress - 7,5 euro 🙄 But the place was okay. If you want to go to the top - there are stairs and right at the top are a lot of big rocks - so prepare the right shoes. You can enter with the dog. The souvenirs are sold right behind the cashier- big stone building.

The Belogradchik Rocks in Bulgaria are a breathtaking natural wonder, with towering red sandstone formations carved over 230 million years in the Balkan Mountains. Reaching up to 200m, they create a dramatic, otherworldly landscape perfect for photography. The nearby Belogradchik Fortress, built into the rocks, adds historical depth. The trail has steep, uneven steps, so walk carefully. Bring water and snacks, as there are no facilities. Visit in daylight for vibrant colors or at sunset for a glowing sky—both are unforgettable! A must-see for adventurers and nature lovers!

Absolutely fantastic! We spent almost 2 hours exploring the fortress. There are many stairs, stone and man made, some quite steep... the views are incredible.

Definitely worth a visit. This is one of the most beautiful places in Bulgaria, and maybe in the world. Tip: climb the steps to the top to enjoy the view, but keep in mind that for an elderly person it may be a challenge.

Very interesting rocks formation within inserted perfectly the Roman empyre architecture for a fortress. Unfortunately is not well maintained from the staff, not too expensive 7,5€ but it's in a very remote region from Sofia. Better to spend one night in the area to visit also the Danube border region. They use it for events so the installation are unfortunately someway invasive.

Great place to spend a couple of hours and it's free. There are information plaques in Serbian and English located around the site with explanations of what you can see. Definitely worth a visit.

Νιce view near river nisava. The gate is across the bridge. It is a theatre and has coffee and food shops inside the fortress.

A wonderful and interesting archaeological place. It also contains places to buy beautiful souvenirs, in addition to quiet cafes surrounded by a forest with a beautiful view. It is really a wonderful place to enjoy.

A great place to visit in the city. There are many old things and buildings in the fortress that you should see. At the entrance there is a public toilet that is free, and in front of it a souvenir shop. There are two small trains here for the youngest who want to enjoy a walk through the park in a different way. A large part of the fortress is under deep shadows. The whole place is with lush vegetation and lots of greenery. Here you will see the remains of an old church, a mosque, a lapidarium, visit museums and many other things. In August, one of the most famous music festivals in the region, Nisville, takes place. It is worth visiting.

Good park, with some attractions around. Has a place for coffee, several souvenir shops, and an open stage with events (might be available online, but I'm not sure). There was no entry fee nor ticket required, but it could be only for this visit. It has a miniature locomotive which provides a sightseeing tour, not sure if it is guided. We parked at a public payed parking, but at the end of the work time for Saturday, but we found it a bit difficult for people who do not have a local Sim card. There is an app, but requires an account which we did not bother to make. Nearly there is a bazaar which has WONDERFUL produce at EXTREMELY affordable prices. Those aromas and tastes took me back to my childhood at my grandma's house - just wonderful, highly recommend!!!

Large, open area that you're free to ramble around and explore at your leisure. Interesting mosque, installations, and old munitions bunkers.

Walls are preserved. Inside you can walk and take a beverage, so on.

Easy to find, was there on workers day so it was a holiday and busy, every one wanted to get there pictures in front of it. Interesting how they keep repainting it so you don't know what to expect when you show...

A bold and ever-evolving symbol of Kosovo’s spirit! The Newborn Monument isn’t just a photogenic landmark - harder to take selfies because of the wide dimension — it’s a canvas for political, cultural, and social expression. Unveiled on the day Kosovo declared independence (Feb 17, 2008), it changes design each year, reflecting the country’s journey. Easy to find near the Palace of Youth and Sports, and well worth a visit to feel the pulse of modern Kosovo.

The Newborn Monument was one of my favorite stops in Prishtina. It’s amazing how it changes every year with a new design and message—each one feels meaningful and full of creativity. The whole area has a really positive vibe, and it’s a great spot to take photos and just take in the atmosphere of the city. If you’re in Prishtina, you definitely shouldn’t miss it!

After the visit and listening to local friends, I can sort of understand why this is called Kosovo's most recognized international symbol. Would suggest everyone to checking in on annual bassist to see what new ideas are reflected here.

Great symbolic monument for Kosovo as a country. I heard different times different design .

It’s interesting to see the new ‘Newborn’ monument in Pristina a powerful symbol that continues to evolve with time and reflect current sentiments. It really invites reflection and conversation.

Exactly at the day we went, there was a truck blocking the monument. Probably working in some event at the side venue. Still this place is too remember that Kosovo is a country. A young one

Petrovaradin Fortress is very important and beautiful fortress in Serbia and, in brief, it was used for military and strategic purposes by different empires and kingdoms throughout history. It's something to read about. This river is a well known European river Danube.

The Petrovaradin Fortress, located in Novi Sad, Serbia, is a historic site overlooking the Danube River. Often referred to as the "Gibraltar on the Danube," it was built by the Austrians in the 17th and 18th centuries to defend against Ottoman invasions. The fortress is known for its massive walls, underground tunnels, and the iconic clock tower. Today, it hosts the EXIT Festival and remains a popular tourist destination, offering stunning views of the river and the city. Its blend of history, culture, and architecture makes it a fascinating landmark.

The Petrovaradin Fortress has a huge historical value and it's one of the most beautiful place to visit while being in Serbia! The sightseeing is out of this world! Being on top of everything offers a great experience while looking at the city of Novi Sad from above. I recommend this place to all the tourists! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really nice view of Novi Sad and beyond. Also lovely to be able to walk freely around the walls, ramparts and grounds. We were there just after the 2 big storms so trees and roof tiles were scattered everywhere, as well as plenty of other debris. Hope everything gets put back together!

It's not so easy to find. Beautiful place

Nice, not much shade during the day. Good for picnic in the park

Exit Festival was amazing. So many great acts, really nice crowd and good vibes

If you’re into waterslides, you should definitely visit! Maybe a bit pricier than nearby spa centers at Mako and Moraholom which are a bit better value for money.

The water park is open all year round and offers water entertainment for both children and adults. Hot water pools, slides, treatment pools, jacuzzi pools, etc.

The place is pretty fun, has lots of different pools, even with warmer water for younger kids or colder water for “older kids”. There are places for food and drinks on the inside but you are also allowed with your own food and drinks. You can even buy water toys and floaters. There is covered, paid parking under the water park. There are plenty of slides and a lazy river that becomes pretty fast at times. There are different places that you can lay down on, inside and outside. I can’t give it a 5 star because our aqua park in Timișoara looks much better, this one feeling pretty old.

The Aquapark is just big enough for a family of 4 to spend 1 day. We had moved into 7 different pools from which 2 were outside ( one was baby/kids only). There are heated water pools that have more than 32 degrees and there are 2 hot pools that I guess are over 40 or 45 and these 2 had yellowish water so I presume have some minerals into it also (did not spend more than 15 seconds there as the kids were not interested in this). To eat there is quick food place near the outside pools where they serve chicken nuggets, hamburger, pasta and bevareges. It is visible that this place is not new and there several items that show the passage of time or the big number of usages (some restbeds were recoloured and showed multiple usage torns). Because of the several things on cleanliness I gave it 4 stars, in the bathrooms the ceiling was looking damp and broken and with black spots. From the slides part I could say they are pretty awesome. Two of them you go with the lift and they are quite long with many turns. Three are at 2nd level and other 3 are at first level. If you want to take kids to a pool and slides for 1-2 days this place is good and very affordable.

I honestly expected more for that price. You enter, and then you have to pay for the sunbeds, and the parking, and the towels for the sauna. I liked the fact that it wasn't crowded at all, especially in the SPA area that belongs to the hotel. Loved the saunas, and the jacuzzi.

The slides are diverse enough, but quite outdated. They charge you for parking (2 eur/hour) and prices for beverages are quite high. All in all, I think there is better value for money in other hungarian waterparks. But still, a good place to chill and have fun with kids.

Really excellent day out. Not crowded at all on a weekday in August, many slides of various adrenaline levels, lazy river, “cave,” lots of interesting structures to swim through and around. No deep water other than under one particular slide, and that area is only reached via the slide itself (there’s another small slide going down from the landing area, so there’s no way for a child to suddenly find themselves in water over their head.) You get a digital “watch” at the entrance which grants access to various areas and also unlocks your locker (no coins required). “Safe deposit” boxes are also available for rental behind the desk if you want more security for your phone/passports. Multiple pools at different temperatures; huge indoor and outdoor spaces. Lots of available places to sit or lie down. We mostly stayed inside because of the blazing sun—there was more than enough to keep my kids busy without needing to bother every two hours with sunscreen. You’re supposed to wear flip flops whenever outside the pool but we didn’t have them and no one said anything. Well worth a trip to Szeged.

Visiting the Royal Palace of Gödöllő was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the elegance and historical charm of the palace grounds. The architecture is breathtaking, beautifully restored, and a true reflection of 18th-century grandeur. Inside, the rooms are rich with history—each one tells a story, especially the ones dedicated to Empress Elisabeth ("Sisi"). The exhibitions are well-curated and informative without being overwhelming. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in preserving the original furnishings and decor, which really transports you back in time. The gardens are just as impressive—perfect for a peaceful stroll or a photo opportunity. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the palace’s heritage. Whether you're a history enthusiast or just looking for a beautiful cultural experience outside of Budapest, this place is an absolute must-see. Highly recommend adding it to your itinerary!

A nice getaway place away from the city. Took about 1h15m of subway plus suburban railway to travel from Budapest to here. They offer crossword game sheet right after the entrance which is very practical to visit and learn. After the visit, we had a short walk in the Godollo town and found a rather cheap cafe

A beautiful castle with lots of character! The castle itself is stunning, filled with beautiful paintings, old photographs, memorabilia, and historical charm. However, I was a bit disappointed by the gardens. The grass and overall landscaping didn’t seem well maintained, which took away from the experience. We also found only one map, so we often weren’t sure where we were or what we were looking at. With some care and attention, the gardens have great potential, and if they were revamped, this place could truly be a hidden gem inside and out.

A beautiful Palace to visit. Nice to walk around the gardens. All facts and information are in multiple languages. There is a cafe and two small gift shops.

Gödöllő Palace is nothing special. You'll find a bit of history there, a few pieces of Queen Sisi's furniture, some clothes, and paintings. If you're passing by, it's worth a quick stop, but I definitely wouldn't make a special trip just for it.

The start of the tour was not so great but that was because they were the older rooms. The second half was beautiful.

Beautiful Baroque style palace. Very well conserved, wonderful furniture and art pieces. Learn about Sisi, when why the Hungarians love her so much

Richly decorated art nouveau style basilica, full of history and relics. The mosaics are impressive, the style is magnificent and sculptures are masterful. There is so much to see here. Tip: buy your tickets online at least a couple of days in advance. They don't sell tickets at the entrance and there is often none available even online

What a beautiful church. The details are incredible. We went to a concert tonight - the music was beautiful. Definitely recommend! Also, go to the Panoramic viewpoint. You can take the elevator up partway, but you still need to climb several floors of stairs- but it was so cool to see the cement structure of the dome!

Absolutely breathtaking! Visiting St. Stephen’s Basilica was an unforgettable experience. The interior left me amazed, the details, artwork, and overall grandeur are simply stunning. It’s truly one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture I’ve ever seen, and I’d say it’s a must-visit in Budapest. We bought tickets for the church only, and even that was more than worth it. The craftsmanship inside is so intricate that you can spend a long time just admiring the details. The Basilica is also home to Hungary’s most sacred relic, the mummified right hand of St. Stephen, the first King of Hungary, which is displayed in the chapel. For those interested, there’s also an option to visit the dome, which offers a panoramic view of Budapest — I didn’t do it this time, but I’ve heard it’s well worth it. Tickets are reasonably priced, and it’s a good idea to check the opening hours as the Basilica also hosts concerts and services. Highly recommend adding this to your Budapest itinerary — both for its beauty and its cultural significance.

This church is one of my mom’s favorites, and during our visit to Budapest it quickly became one of mine as well. It’s definitely a must-see. You do need a ticket to enter, but purchasing them online is simple, and entry times are clearly scheduled. The area outside can get quite busy, yet inside the basilica it feels calm and organized. The architecture is stunning, and after your visit there are plenty of dining options nearby.

Saint Stephen’s Basilica is A Must-See Masterpiece ⛪️ Wow…just wow. Saint Stephen’s Basilica is absolutely breathtaking. Whether you’re religious or not, or even if you’re not the “church enthusiast” type, this is one spot in Budapest you have to see. To say the interior is stunning would be an understatement, it’s jaw-droppingly beautiful. (Check the pictures below, words barely do it justice.) The church is massive and has multiple parts to explore: the main hall, an elevator leading up to the terrace, and the treasury upstairs. Pro tip: go for the all-access ticket. It’s around €23 per person and 100% worth it. Sure, the main church alone is lovely if you’re in a rush, but the terrace and treasury really complete the experience. The terrace view of Budapest is absolutely gorgeous. Not to be biased, but it’s honestly better than the sky deck 😂 Plan for about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes to see everything at a relaxed pace. There are toilets upstairs too, which is another reason to grab that all-access pass (seriously, finding public bathrooms in Budapest can be an adventure on its own 💀). Overall…An incredible landmark, well worth the time and money. If you’re in Budapest, put this high on your list. It’s a true gem of the city.

Hello! The in-person ticket office is across the street (off ground), so be aware. The line to get tickets was not long at all. The basilica and panoramic view combination is the best value. There is a discount for seniors (65 years and older). The basilica is a wonder to see! There are many alcoves as well as central seating. Don’t forget to look up as the ceilings are also quite beautiful to see. The entrance for the panoramic view area is near the main entrance and you don’t have to exit the basilica to access. Your choice on walking up the 304 steps or taking a lift to get to the third floor. A second lift gets you up to the panoramic area - there is a limit to four persons per car on that second lift. On the way back down, visit the Treasury for a break in those 304 steps. Enjoy!

Make sure you get tickets not just to go inside but up to the top. You can take a lift pretty much all the way up there and there are toilets also. I’d suggest going at night get an amazing view of the city lit up.

Visiting the Chain Bridge in Budapest was an unforgettable experience. Walking across this iconic bridge offers incredible views of the Danube River and the city’s stunning architecture. The bridge itself is impressive, with its historic design and beautiful details that make it perfect for photos. It is especially magical at sunset when the lights start to illuminate the city. The area around the bridge is lively and easy to explore on foot, making it a great spot for a stroll and taking in the atmosphere of Budapest. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city.

This wonderful bridge is definitely the most beautiful bridge of Budapest, symbol of the Hungary and an absolute must-see for any visitor. Connects Buda and Pest. From the bridge, you get perfect shots of the Buda Castle, the Hungarian Parliament, and the entire river panorama. The atmosphere after dark is magical

A special, impressive construction. It gives a special charm to the area and very interesting perspectives from both its ends but also along the pedestrian passage. Walking on the bridge allows you to capture some special images of Pest, Buda and the Danube.

The Chain Bridge in Budapest is truly one of the city’s most stunning landmarks! Walking across it during the day gives you a beautiful view of both Buda and Pest, but it’s at night when the bridge becomes absolutely magical. The whole structure glows with warm lights, reflecting beautifully on the Danube River and creating a breathtaking view of the illuminated Parliament and Buda Castle. The atmosphere feels peaceful yet full of life — perfect for an evening stroll or photos. Definitely one of the highlights of Budapest that shouldn’t be missed!

Beautiful bridge. Not much to say about it, it’s just great looking. Definitely worth a visit, I mean it’s in the centre and there are a lot of historic monuments nearby so yeah. Great bridge I guess.

I went here in October 2025. I really felt awesome looking it with the pink theme. Very nice and crowdy place. For a good feel and view should visit in the night time. This bridge is special because it connects all main locations.

The Széchenyi Chain Bridge is not just a bridge; it is the heart and soul of Budapest. Walking across this architectural masterpiece is an absolute must-do for any visitor. It perfectly connects the historic charm of Buda with the vibrant life of Pest, offering stunning views every step of the way.

The Shoes on the Danube Bank is one of the most moving and powerful memorials I’ve ever visited. It’s simple in design yet incredibly emotional, rows of iron shoes along the river remind us of the tragic fate of the Jews who were executed here during World War II. Standing in that spot, looking at the shoes with the Danube flowing beside them, you really feel the weight of history and loss. It’s a place of silence and reflection, not just a tourist stop. A must-visit in Budapest if you want to understand the city’s history on a deeper level.

Nice sobering view. It's lovely to see people respectfully taking photos and then moving aside for others to visit/take pics. NOTE: It can be challenging to access via scooter, you're better off walking down to the foreshore after parking your bike/scooter further up (lesson learnt!) ACCESSIBILITY: It is wheelchair and pram accessible and there are large sandstone blocks that people can sit/rest on.

Very moving and picturesque memorial on the beautiful bank of the Danube. Easily accessible by public transportation and free. Great opportunity to hang out by the great river and appreciate the long and sometimes sad history of this wonderful city.

Pretty impressive monument, a must see when in Budapest. You would likeness it as an art piece but it is actually a moving historical artifacts.

The memorial for the Jews taken to this spot during the Nazi occupation and shot by the locals and thrown into the Danube river. Public space. Always reachable. Must visit to remember our duty as human beings: be tolerant and respect others.

Sombre experience at this free to visit installation of historical significance. You can simply take a stroll along the Danube soaking in the views until you come across it. There are places to sit there as well.

The walk from our river boat was about 30 minutes along the Danube River. The path was not smooth with rocky terrain and uneven stones as well as metal grating. It was sad to see all the different shoes from men, women and children. It's impactful.

This is really an impressive building and worth of sightseeing from inside as well. They have prepared the guides in many languages which is very good so people or not limited to english only. It woould be better that the tour was a bit longer and probably more detailed but overall it was fine. Thr big remark goes to the price for entrance which is huge!

The Hungarian Parliament Building at night is breathtaking. As darkness settles over Budapest, the entire Gothic Revival masterpiece glows with a golden light that reflects across the Danube, creating a mirror image so perfect it feels dreamlike. Seen from the Buda side, the building dominates the skyline, every spire and arch illuminated with precision. The reflection rippling in the river gives the scene a kind of quiet grandeur that photographs never quite capture. Up close on the Pest side, the building feels even more impressive. The sheer scale, the intricate carvings, and the warm glow of the stone make it clear why it’s one of Europe’s architectural treasures. At night, the Parliament isn’t just a government seat—it’s a symbol of the country’s history, pride, and resilience, standing tall against the dark sky. The best time to visit is after sunset, when the crowds thin and the city slows down. Walk along the Danube promenade, pause on the Chain Bridge, or simply sit by the water and watch the lights flicker. It’s one of those views that remind you why travel matters: moments of stillness and awe that stay with you long after you’ve left.

One of the most beautiful buildings in Europe and an absolute must-see in Budapest. The architecture is stunning from every angle — day or night — but seeing it lit up in the evening is truly magical. The area around the Parliament is clean, safe and perfect for walking. You can enjoy the riverside view, take amazing photos and really feel the history of the city. Even if you don’t go inside for a tour, the exterior alone is worth the visit. If you can, go both during the day and at night — completely different vibe and both unforgettable.

One of the most magnificent buildings in all of Europe, pure architectural poetry on the banks of the Danube. The neo-Gothic spires, symmetry, and sheer scale are jaw-dropping, especially when seen from across the river or from a Danube night cruise. Up close, the craftsmanship is even more intricate, statues, arches, and details that feel almost unreal. It’s stunning by day but beyond magical at night, when it glows gold against the dark river. Tip: Skip the guided tour if short on time - the real magic is outside, especially at sunset from the opposite bank or from Fisherman’s Bastion.

The Hungarian Parliament Building is one of the most stunning landmarks in Europe. Built in a Neo-Gothic style with pointed towers and intricate details, it dominates the Danube’s riverside skyline. Even if you don’t go inside (the interior visit is paid), it’s absolutely worth admiring from the outside. For the best view, head to the Buda side — the sight of the Parliament reflecting on the river is simply unforgettable.

One of the most stunning structures I've seen. Incredibly beautiful. From all sides. From any distance. Top 1 in Budapest. The photos look unreal, but they're real!) I highly recommend a tour inside. It lasts about an hour. Available in different languages. You definitely need to book in advance for a specific time, because the number of spots is limited. You might wait a couple of hours if you don't book. This is an active government building, so there are security measures - you need to arrive at least 10-15 minutes before your scheduled time. Of course there are items that are prohibited from bringing inside. Regarding the parliament inside. Very atmospheric. A completely different style than the exterior. In my opinion there's too much gold) but it's definitely worth it

I didn’t go inside, but even from the outside, the Hungarian Parliament left me speechless! The architecture is absolutely stunning — elegant, powerful, and perfectly reflected on the Danube River. I could’ve stood there for hours just admiring the view. Especially during sunset, it feels like a dream. One of the most beautiful landmarks in Budapest, no doubt! 💛

Beautiful place up on the Buda side. The views are nice and it looks incredible when the lights go on at night. We did not go inside but admired the beautiful architecture from the outside. Definitely a must do when in town.

Fisherman’s Bastion is one of Budapest’s most enchanting landmarks. We visited during the day and returned at night, and both experiences were magical. By day, the Neo-Romanesque terraces frame sweeping views of the Danube and the Parliament building, perfect for photos. At night, the city lights transform the scene into something straight out of a storybook. The architecture is stunning: white stone towers, turrets, and archways that feel like a castle from a fantasy novel. It’s not just beautiful, it’s steeped in history, built to honor the guild of fishermen who defended this part of the city walls in the Middle Ages. The atmosphere is peaceful in the morning, with fewer crowds, and you can wander freely through the arches and balconies. At night, it’s more lively but still romantic, with illuminated spires and the Parliament glowing across the river. Tip: Go twice—daytime for clarity, nighttime for magic. Combine your visit with Matthias Church next door. Bring a camera; every angle is postcard-worthy. Arrive early for quiet moments and fewer tourists. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Fisherman’s Bastion is not just a viewpoint it’s an experience that captures the essence of Budapest’s beauty and history.

Simply gorgeous, I recommended walking there as well. The panoramic view. The place itself, especially at night is worth every step. It's really a nice experience to walk across the chain bridge to this castle.

Absolutely breathtaking views over the city. Also great to just walk around and see the old sites and fort and it can all be done for free too. You can also purchase tickets and pay extra to go inside the church and walk up the walls but we didn’t do this and it still sufficed

Amazing looking, the streets here look like a different world. The surrounding restaurants and stuff is a little bit more expensive than elsewhere so be prepared for that. You can see the whole of Budapest from here! No need to pay to go a level above on the lookout (it’s useless). Only thing sad is you have to pay to enter the church, but other than that it’s amazing.

The view is amazing! Can't say enough! Even on a cloudy day it was worth visiting. If you're visiting Budapest is truly a must. There are many steps but if you're going on Buda with a taxi you can ask the driver to drop you off at Matthias's church so no need to walk up all the stairs.

Fisherman’s Bastion is absolutely breathtaking! 🏰✨ The fairytale-style architecture, with its towers and arches, creates a magical atmosphere. The panoramic views over Budapest — especially of the Parliament and the Danube — are some of the best in the city. It’s a beautiful place to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the scenery. Truly a must-visit landmark! 🌟

Very chaotic exhibition with limited information in English. Rich on rooms and sideways. Great lemonade in bufet.

It was very interesting to visit this renaissance palace. The highlight is the Hercules Fountain in the courtyard. It is a combination ruin and partial reconstruction. There was a good overview of the history on signs around the courtyard. Other artefacts were on display in the rooms but I didn’t read all the signage. There were also some rooms with basic refurbishment. The garden was nice. We had 1.5 hours but could have done with about 30 minutes more. There is more here than the Salamon Tower and Citadel.

Great tour, fantastic view!

Here was the first EU parliament held in Europe🤣🤣🤣🤣 Back in 1335 kings from Hungary, Checz and Poland and many dukes like from Bavaria, Croatia, Teutonic order... gathered here and make arrangements for peace and trade in the area. Most important event of 14th century. The palace fell in decline after Turka defeated them in 16th century. They sure are making effort to restore it. U can see how palace was in three floors, royal chambers, kitchen, gardens. A lot od things are replica, like the fountains, but in the....dungeons there are originals....well what is left od them. In more recent history those three countries remade old friendships and there group in EU is called after this town, Visegrad.

Great piece of Hungarian history

Really enjoyed exploring these ruins

Beautiful, sympathetic restoration/conservation of one of Hungary's most important historical buildings. Well worth a visit for around half a day. This appears to be ongoing work, so I will return perhaps next year to witness the progress. A fantastic place to visit with children.

Visiting the old water tower was a unique and enjoyable experience. The tower stands tall with a charming, historical presence, offering a glimpse into the area's past. Although it's not an active facility anymore, the architecture and the surrounding area are fascinating to explore. The peaceful setting makes it a great spot for a quick stop or even a quiet walk around. It’s a nice, off-the-beaten-path attraction for those interested in local history and landmarks.

The Siófok Water Tower is a quiet unique tower in the centre of Siófok. There is a great view from the tower. There used to be at café at the top of the tower, but it is unfortunately closed for good. Now there is a couple of exhibitions instead.

Great place to visit in Siofok. Although there isn't much to see inside other than two exhibitions, one about a sculptor that made some of the statues in Siofok and the history of the city, the views are great.

Is, ok... Not really big space to explore, 1 elevator was not working, and yes the view is nice.

An interesting spot with a great view over a large part of the city.

We got free tickets, because I am a wheelchair user and my brother, because he was my escort. Very nice and helpful staff. We were able to see only the first floor, but it was interesting. Its a shame the descriptions of the people there were just in Hungarian. Otherwise a great sight to see :)

Beautiful view to the surroundings close by Balaton lake! Interesting museum but sadly not much of information in English language.

The Basilica of Esztergom is a truly magnificent and unmissable sight. As the largest church in Hungary, its sheer scale and grandeur are absolutely breathtaking from the moment you approach it. The stunning neoclassical architecture makes a powerful statement, and the sense of history is palpable, given its role as a key religious and historical site in Hungary. Stepping inside, the vast interior is just as impressive, with its grand altar, beautiful frescoes, and a serene atmosphere. However, the absolute highlight is the climb to the top of the dome. The panoramic 360-degree views of the Danube River, Esztergom city, and the Štúrovo on the Slovakian side are simply spectacular. A visit to the crypt and the Treasury (with its stunning collection of religious artifacts) is also highly recommended. This basilica is not just a church; it's a historical landmark and an architectural masterpiece that offers a profound and memorable experience.

The Esztergom Basilica is truly breathtaking — one of Hungary’s most impressive landmarks! Standing high above the Danube, it offers incredible panoramic views of both Hungary and Slovakia. Inside, the vast dome and detailed artworks are simply stunning, and the main altar painting is actually the largest single-canvas altarpiece in the world! Don’t miss visiting the Panorama Café at the top — it’s free to go up, and the views with a coffee are unforgettable. A must-see when exploring Esztergom!

Absolutely stunning and majestic place! The Esztergom Basilica stands beautifully by the Danube River with breathtaking architecture and a peaceful atmosphere. Offers a wide panoramic view of the city and the Mária Valéria Bridge connecting Hungary and Slovakia. The interior is grand and spiritual, perfect for history and architecture lovers. A must-visit spot in Esztergom, especially during sunset! 🌅

We stopped here on a river cruise- we’d never heard of this place before but we will never forget it now and its interesting history and its imposing basilica. It’s definitely worth getting a tour so you can learn some of the fascinating history & interesting stories behind the facades. Plus you can walk to Slovakia and back !

🇬🇧 Esztergom – Hungary Situated on the right bank of the Danube, directly along the Slovak border, Esztergom is a city where history speaks from every street, and the soul of Hungary feels almost tangible. It is one of the country’s oldest and most iconic cities — a symbol of statehood and of the nation’s spiritual heritage. Archaeological findings show that the area of modern-day Esztergom has been inhabited since ancient times. Different peoples — Celts, Romans, Huns, Avars, and Germanic tribes — all left their mark here, adding their own layers to the landscape. During the Roman era, the settlement was known as Solva or Salvio Mansio. After the Hungarian conquest in the 10th–11th centuries, Esztergom became one of the key centers of the emerging Hungarian state: Prince Géza chose it as his seat of power, and his son Vajk (later King Stephen I, canonized Saint Stephen) was baptized and crowned here. During the Árpád dynasty, Esztergom was not only a political and royal center but also the spiritual heart of Hungary — it was from here that much of the country’s ecclesiastical life was organized. For a long time, it also served as the royal capital, until the mid-13th century, when the court and administration gradually moved to Buda and other cities. The city has witnessed wars and sieges as well: in 1543, Esztergom fell to the Ottoman Empire after a long siege. Many buildings and monuments were destroyed, yet even today the layers of history remain visible among the ruins and restored sites. The Basilica — Hungary’s largest church — is the crown of Esztergom. Built in the 19th century in classical style, with its monumental dome, vast interior, and ornate decorations, it dominates both the skyline and the spirit of the city. Behind the basilica rises Castle Hill, home to the remains of the ancient royal palace, fortifications, and the Castle Museum. The exhibitions here guide visitors through Esztergom’s story — from Roman times through the Middle Ages, the Ottoman period, and into modern history. The Víziváros (“Watertown”) district by the Danube offers a true journey through time with its narrow streets, fort walls, traces of Turkish baths and mosques, and the imposing Primatial Palace / Christian Museum. The Christian Museum holds Hungary’s largest ecclesiastical art collection, featuring medieval altarpieces, sculptures, liturgical treasures, and artworks from across Europe. The Bakócz Chapel, a rare Renaissance gem from the 16th century, was preserved and later integrated into the basilica itself. Baroque and classical churches, elegant stone houses, and ornate squares complete the city’s historical character. Despite wars and transformations — from the Ottoman era to the world wars — Esztergom has always rebuilt itself and continued to thrive. After the Treaty of Trianon, it became a border town, losing territory but never its culture, sanctity, or symbolic strength. As a guide, I see Esztergom not as a museum city, but as a living witness to Hungary’s struggles, faith, and artistry. For anyone seeking a deeper connection to Hungary’s roots — spiritually, architecturally, or emotionally — Esztergom is essential. — Krisztina 🌊 Local Guide

When you enter the Basilica, you are surrounded by a completely different atmosphere. The descriptions about its history are excellent, and the treasury is also very interesting- it’s worth taking the time to look through everything and read the related sources. The view from the dome is fabulous. The crypt, on the other hand, brings yet another completely different mood with it.

This is fantastically maintained place, of great cultural and religious importance. We have been there with 2 kids, enjoyed everything. You can see the church and park for free, we also payed to go in to the tower and tomb. The price was OK. People there were nice and helped us with everything. Everything is well organised here. There is a chic coffee place in the building, and many shops, and thanks to this even people who are not religious can enjoy the place. There are foodtrucks outside, so you will not leave hungry. But the church itself is more than enough, we hope to come here again, also to see the city beneath the church (Vizivaros). During sundays there is regular church service, so you cant get inside all of the time, but there are a lot of other things to see during that time. It is actually fantastic,that you can still come here to join the mass.

Fantastic place to go with our boys of 8, 9 and 12 yrs old. With so many slides you can gradually build up the difficulty level. Personal favorite: Flamingo. Also had some good food from the grill 😋 And enough parking space. Buy tickets online to get some discount 😉

If you enjoy feeling exploited – go there. The entrance tickets are outrageously overpriced, and the place is packed with thousands of people, creating enormous queues for the slides. For some unexplained reason, on most of the slides – especially those designed for kids – you’re forced to wait for an inflatable tube, which makes the wait even longer and more cumbersome. On the main slides, you can end up waiting over an hour (!) in line, and then spend more long minutes waiting again at the top. Everything moves painfully slowly and inefficiently. But the real nerve is what they call “Express Tickets.” For an extra €3 per person per slide, they let you skip the main line and go straight up to the slide queue itself. So, while you – who already paid dozens of euros to get in – wait endlessly in the “regular” line, dozens of people who paid more casually walk past you. For every 20 “express” guests, they let through maybe 1 or 2 who paid the already outrageous regular admission. They’re counting on you to give up and pay more. It’s basically extortion. In 8 hours at the park, the kids barely managed 7 slides in total, and altogether spent about 5–6 hours waiting in line. The food is expensive too, and the queues for food are just as unreasonable. We won’t be coming back, and we definitely wouldn’t recommend it.

The water park is huge and offers a wide variety of attractions, with something for everyone. The rides and activities were diverse and a lot of fun. Most of the attractions are outdoors, so weather can make a big difference. The only downside was that the major attractions had long waiting times. We visited on a sunny day, so it wasn’t too bad, but on colder days the wait could be less pleasant, especially for those not used to chilly weather.

This review is for the aquapark pools and slides, not the hotel. As we were not there The place is great and we spent the full day with kids, even though most of the slides were closed due to winter, it was still lots of fun and not crowded at all , October time

Absolutely fantastic experience at Aqua Park Tatralandia! So many slides, pools, and attractions for every age. The water is warm, everything is clean, and the staff are super friendly. Perfect mix of fun and relaxation — a must-visit when in Slovakia. PS: There was a magician😂

Visited Tatralandia Water Park today. The park is very large, with plenty of seating areas both outdoors and indoors. It can get extremely crowded, which may not be ideal for those who dislike crowds, but it offers a fun experience for most visitors above 120 cm in height. Only a few attractions require a minimum height of 140 cm. There are lockers available for storing belongings, and many restaurants on-site, though prices are relatively high, around €15 for a standard meal and €3 for drinks. The park has a wide variety of attractions and pools. We chose to visit mainly for the wave pools, but unfortunately, they were closed upon arrival. It’s possible to skip the long lines by paying €3 per ride, but this option isn’t available for all attractions and must be paid each time you want to skip the line. If you don’t bring a towel, you can rent one for €4. There is plenty of parking in the complex, including in the main lot.

Unbelievably crowded! Right at the entrance, at every slide (it took even 55 mins today for one of them), at all restaurants in the peak lunch time, and finally a decent queue at the exit to pay the consumption. It's a pity, because the place has very good facilities and potential, it's just the unlimited visitors left in on such a peak day, which creates such a distress.

Very cool experience. The castle is beautiful and it's neat to be able to walk through it all. Three options of tickets to choose from. A/B/Combo. We took option A - 9 euros per adult. Parking near the castle - 8 euros Cons: With the amount of people they let into the castle and all the stairs going up and down they need better traffic control to manage the flow.

I was pleasantly surprised by this castle visit and all there was to see and explore inside. There are several ticket options, and we went for the main tour for 9 Euros. This gave us access to the majority of the exhibits and we spent about an hour exploring. There was so much to see! Highly recommend.

This location is truly remarkable. The castle and the road leading to it evoke a sense of stepping back into the 17th century, as everything has been wonderfully preserved. They offer three tour options. With children, we were unable to complete the castle tour. However, there is also the option to visit the church alone or as part of a combined tour. Although they refer to it as a tour, it is conducted without a guide.

Amazing. 13€ for full access. Stunning views. Worth the trip. Cool little town. WC near by and in castle. Parking 8€

A very interesting castle, located high on a rock, which began to be built in the 13th century and continued to be built until the 17th century. Very beautifully and safely restored. You can see many different exhibitions there. Tickets are divided into Tour A and Tour B. It is better to take Tour A+B, it cost 13 euros, but it is worthy of your attention. Many fairy tales and movies were filmed in this castle, Wikipedia will help you to discover these movies. Convenient parking nearby, day parking costs 8 euros. Many souvenir shops and restaurants with very tasty food at quite reasonable prices. I definitely recommend a visit

Incredible place. The centuries of history, combined with breathtaking location is amazing. Must visit - prepare to climb many stairs!!

It is one of Slovakia's most impressive and photogenic castles, standing majestically atop a rocky cliff over 100 meters high. Perched high on a crag, it offers spectacular views of the valley and surrounding forests. Its pointed towers, stone passageways, and ancient halls make exploring it feel like stepping back in time. Download the Orava Castle app to listen to the audio guides.

Totally recommend visiting. The view is beautiful. Free street parking or paid parking lot are available. There’s also a place to have a meal at the start of the trail.

Started at biely potok, We did the , second root, blue-green-yellow-blue, the yellow part was hard and not interesting, Entire roottook us less then three hours

A lot of beautiful nature. I did the blue path about 2km to every direction.

Nice walk in the canyon along the river. We walked for 2 hours combining the blue, yellow and green trails. We saw more dramatic canyon trips, but this one is also will worth your time. We walked during slight rain so there were few slippery parts (iron bridges), rocks and tree roots, but overall not a difficult walk. Note: there are pets with no cellular reception- so keep the paper map you got at the entrance, or get your offline train map on your phone.

A number of quality trails in a beautiful location. Download the maps before you go, there may not be service in many areas in the mountains. Gorgeous and well worth the trip. No trail fees, just parking fees. Lots of food and drink options.

Great place to visit in Slovakia. We found public parking next to the hotel for €5 per day, but the ticket machine was broken. We were lucky to visit the gorge on the weekday in summer with not so many visitors. Breathtaking views. There are many hiking trails, plan ahead of your visit or just go as you feel. The routes we did was the blue, than geen, yellow , had a break at the lovely cafe and back on the blue route. It took us about 1-2 hours walking + a coffee break.

Great hiking area for the whole family. If you're taking the gorge route, do pay attention to the suggested direction of the trails. If you mess up, don't worry about it, but do make sure you take the other trail going back. You really don't want to miss either one.

Amazing theme park chock full of incredible roller coasters, Zadra being immense - ride it in the dark which elevates it to an entirely new level. Great value for money , ample car parking, tge park was fresh and clean. A great experience

I visited Energylandia because I was curious about the largest amusement park located near Slovakia. And I must say that I was satisfied. And that was right from the moment I parked my car, which I parked in a huge parking lot located right next to the amusement park. I must note that even though the ticket price is not the lowest, parking is paid separately (7 €/day). The amusement park premises are beautiful, decorated, pleasant movie music plays everywhere and you feel like you are in a fairy tale. There are many shops, restaurants and vending machines. Given that Energylandia has chosen a policy in the style of "buy a full-day ticket and all attractions are included in the price", it is logical that there are queues for each attraction - from 10 to 60 minutes (depending on what day / period you visit Energylandia). One ride lasts about 30 to 90 seconds. However, many of them are worth waiting for, as they offer maximum experience and adrenaline (e.g. speed of 144 km/h or overload up to 4G). You can watch the waiting time on several screens in the park or you can download their mobile application. A practical service is renting boxes to put things away (because you can't wear a cap/glasses/bag, etc. while riding). All you need to do is buy a bracelet (approx. €4), using which you can then always open one box at each attraction. Energylandia really offers an experience for people who like speed and adrenaline. They just have to wait for it :) I definitely recommend it.

The biggest amusement park in Poland! Lots of different rollercoasters, including extremely scary and more simple of kids and family. It's worth to spend there the whole day, they have everything you need. Very convenient system of storage boxes, you buy once for 17zl and can reuse it near every rollercoaster endless time. Also train station is very close, you can get by train from Krakow glowny within 1 hour for 12 zl, train goes every hour.

Amazing roller coaster ride! 🎢 The thrill, speed, and twists were incredible — pure adrenaline from start to finish. I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time! Definitely an unforgettable experience!

Without a doubt the best theme park I’ve ever been too, had a lot of fun! Rides are amazing. Something does need to be done about line cutters, did have a bunch of kids jump in line on Mayan by jumping over the wall. Overall an incredibly pleasant experience, everything’s is reasonably well priced and affordable.

This park is awesome! I love their locker system here, it’s very convenient and easy to use. They have lockers almost at every single ride so you can put your backpack or bag in there hassle free! The rollercoasters here are amazing. This park is better than the Six Flags parks I’ve been to. I recommend :)

The amusement park is really big. Next time we will definitely buy the multiple day ticket. We went on Saturday so it was packed. We chose a day that was super hot, but they had stations with water sprayers so that was nice. Waiting time were quite long which we expected as we went on a weekend. Other than that it was great! Even the water park for the kids! Highly recommend to check out this park!

Was a somber experience being in a place of death and torture, especially for my family members who endured this egregiously harsh and inhumane reality during WWII. We were never told to purchase tickets in advance so the museum was booked solid when we drove 3.5 hours from Warsaw to visit. The new Israeli owners, as crazy as it seems, have made it more difficult to gain entry with a walk in. We are able to observe the outskirts which was just as surreal and contained some valuable informative sights to see.

Incredibly somber and emotional experience. Seeing the scale of what happened here is overwhelming. We visited on a nice sunny day, but I couldn’t help but feel what the conditions must have felt like for those held within the camp during the harsh polish winters. A must see for anyone to remind us of what happened and try to ensure it can never happen again.

A huge museum, which is being restored to this day and is still being preserved. Book the tour in advance because you can get alone and for free only after 15:00. We got a very nice girl guide, it was very interesting and pleasant to listen to. We visited both camps, the total tour took about 4 hours. This place is very atmospheric, creepy. It is obligatory for everyone to visit, you need to know and not forget the history so that there are no more such things.

Probably one of the most badly organised tourist destinations in the world ! Always wanted to visit but was very disappointed, the complete cluster fxxk of the main entry, the inability to secure private tickets in advance via a official site, this resulted in almost 45 min to wait in a outdoor line until we could get to the ticket office and then another 2 hour wait until our time slot to actually get through the gate. I'd gladly pay €5-10 for advance tickets if I could get a guaranteed time to get in when I arrive. Once in there was no real flow or direction of what to see or what order to see it in. The official map was about as much use as sand in a desert, honestly a 5 year old could have drawn a better plan. Inside large tour groups dominated all the various things to see and we were often barged out of the way or unable to pass them while they blocked doors or things to see. My impression of the place has been ruined by visiting it and then when coming out, they don't even have clear signage where to get public transport back or a covered bus stop. The urban planner / architect who designed the new entrance and coach part obviously never tried visiting as a tourist.

This is a very sad experience. But I do recommend everyone to visit once in a lifetime. I learnt about it in a history lesson, but seeing it for real was just something else. The scale of it is just mad. There was 2 camps, second camp had more than 300 buildings. They were killing almost 5k people a day, in a gas chamber they fit 700 people at a time 😮 Its just crazy to see all the shoes of people who died there. And crazy to see the gas chamber. We all need to see the scale of it and learn from it so the history wont repeat itself... In the second camp, last building we entered was the barrack of ill women, it was called the death barrack, all of them were ill or unable to work, they were getting no food or water and if the barrack was full they were made to stay outside in a yard and wait to be taken to the gas chamber. Most of them died there in a barrack. It's so cruel. The free car park not in use. All car parks around is approx 30zloty. There is massive queue to get it, takes forever due to amount of people visiting. To get in need to go thru security like in the airport. Then there is audio tour. Our guide was not great, was hard to hear her as she didnt hold microphone properly. Was way too many people and very long backlog so we skipped quite few barracks. Once we got to second camp by bus our tour guide didnt wait for everyone so we got lost. Not very well organised tbh. After 1pm most days can visit camps without tour guides and it is free. This place would give chills to everyone.

Powerful to say the least! This was part of my bucket list of places to visit and WOW it did not disappoint. Moving does not do this place justice, understanding what the Jews, gypsies and other minorities went through during the Second World War, you can watch as many documentaries as you like but actually walking in their footsteps really does bring it home…..Unforgettable

One of the must see place if you are nearby. A piece of the most terrible european history, which shouldn't be forgotten. Very impressive. Get your ticket in advance on the web, as you can get guider in your language.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A historic site with a beautiful view. It can be reached via a longer gravel forest road with a steep incline — hiking shoes are highly recommended! Much of the castle is under renovation, and many areas are closed. With the basic ticket, you can mostly explore the castle walls and visit one exhibition, where nearly all the signs are in Slovak — English translations are only available via QR codes. When we visited, the exhibition also included a retro display of strollers and children's toys, which was quite interesting.

Very nice place but should better manager. Any way Worth to visit, you can walk around it in max 2 hours. The main Tower is the Best. Nice to see the park and city too.

Trenčín Castle is stunning on the outside, but the interior and exhibitions are a bit underwhelming. When we visited, it was partly under reconstruction so there were some areas that we could not access. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful castle with amazing views.

A lovely castle to visit. You can spend up to a few hours there. The entrance fee is very fair. Amazing views open up from various vantage points of the castle. Highly recommended for a visit!

Nice big castle, worth the visit. Doable with kids, we went up with a 3 and 6 year old, but it's quite steep. We did around 5 km, visited almost every corner.

Great place with lot's of history. If you don't mind a steep climb up too the castle . In the village square there are plenty of bar restaurants at reasonable prices.

It is more a fortress then a castle. Still if you climb in the tower is a very nice feeling of freedom. Also down the center of the town is beautiful.

If you ask me to name the most interesting museum (and believe me, I have visited many), then the Guido mine is still far ahead.⚒️ Let's start from the beginning, the mine itself stopped mining relatively recently, so the entire environment is as authentic as possible! Next, where else can you go down 300 meters underground?! The guides tell you about the history of coal mining with interest, so you will definitely not be bored. The lack of interactivity is more than compensated for by the uniqueness of the place, a ride on a mine train, the deepest bar🍺 in Europe with delicious beer, and for the most extreme, the opportunity to feel like a miner and try to mine coal with your own hands. I could go on and on, but why bother - just buy a ticket and visit this place. Or better yet, visit the adit and go rafting on the underground river. I do not regret a single penny spent!

This is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Fantastic guide, very informative, and truly unique. I consider this a must-do if you’re in the area! I will visit again in the future!

One of the deepest mines in Europe. Inside, the tour guide explains very interestingly, so you don't know how the tour is going. The mining museum presents very interesting information about both past and modern copper mining. Also, at the end of the tour, you have the opportunity to have a drink in the underground coffee shop.

Amazing experience! You can learn a lot about Silesia and coal mains. The guide makes sure that the tour is interesting. And at the end you need to try the black bread! Highly recommended

Perfection no more no less. Only one place like this in Europe. You going down 355 metres under ground. Unforgettable memories. Krzysztof explained everything with singe details it's amazing person. Best Regards

Good storytelling inside, atmospheric place. Very good place to spend a day. Guide is like 2 hours, but there is restaurant under the ground as well

🚨THE BOAT-TOUR DOES NOT START HERE. The starting point of the BOAT-TOUR is a different location with 25 mins away on foot. ✅ 2hours walking tour in coal mines in English or German. The tour guide was clearly explained. ✅ The real operations of grinding machine can be seen on-site. ✅ Enjoying riding on the electric powered mine-cart for short minutes. ✅ You'll learn and use mining workers ' greeting. "Szczęśc Boże! (God bless you)". ✅ Toilets and pubs are placed at the end of the touring place. ❌ The receptionist guided wrongly for waiting place for the boat tour even though I arrived one-hour before the tour started. I was told by the receptionist," if any claims, send an email on the website."

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

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

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

Modern ZOO, very nice place for families, a lot of animals but also plants, new animal enclosures, large zoo area, you need min. 4 hours . Good and close parking , friendly entrance, several snack stands and restaurants,possible pay bycard.

Great place to stay with kids even for the whole day. Lots of animals and lots of extra kids activities. Food stands on every corner.

Great Zoo with ample space, well equipped pavilions. Great variety of wildlife species including almost all continents.

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