Designer Outlet Neumünster offers a wide range of stores and products with great discounts. You can find quality clothing from many popular brands, often with additional deals. The selection is good and prices are really worth it. The only downside is that there aren’t many options for food or lunch, but overall, it’s a great place for shopping if you’re looking for variety and good value.
Vr M — Google review
Great little “village” of designer brands from all categories, dotted with coffee shops and ice cream parlors. The shopping selection is impressive and well-organized, with something for every taste and budget. Food wise, it’s functional rather than fantastic but enough to keep you going. Don’t expect a culinary highlight. A well-maintained and pleasant place for a day of bargain hunting (weather permitting).
Per S — Google review
Nice place, many brand outlets are available here. Need to pick and choose for offers. Majorly good for shoes brands like Nike and Adidas, schedules particularly. Beautiful place very neat and clean, nice cozy restaurants and different options to pick and choose. Play area for the kids all in all very good place to visit with family.

Nice place....reminds me of Kildare Village in Ireland which is an excellent Outlet shopping experience. Some good dealson leather goods and clothes. Lots of hot dogs and beer as its Germany naturally but tasty!
Peter M — Google review
I arrived early in the morning at Designer Outlet Neumünster, when all the shops were still closed and the place was quiet. The calm before the shopping rush gave me a chance to really take in the spacious layout and the modern design of the outlet. Located on Oderstraße 10, it’s about 45 minutes by car from Hamburg, and you can also get there by train from Hamburg Dammtor to Neumünster with a transfer, which takes around 1.5 hours. Even before the shops opened at 10 am, I noticed the huge parking area with plenty of spots, including premium and electric vehicle charging stations. The outlet hosts over 120 designer stores offering discounts up to 70%, featuring brands like Karl Lagerfeld, Woolrich, and Zwilling. I was excited to come back later and explore all the fashion, accessories, and more. The peaceful morning also gave me a moment to appreciate the cafes and restaurants that would soon fill with visitors. It felt like a perfect blend of convenience and style, making it clear why this spot is a favorite for both locals and travelers looking for great deals near Hamburg. If you’re coming without a car, the best way is to take the train from Hamburg Dammtor to Neumünster, then a short bus or taxi ride to the outlet. It’s an easy trip and well worth it for a day of shopping and relaxing in a clean, welcoming environment.

Designer Outlet Neumünster is a pleasant place to visit with a good variety of shops and a clean, well-organized layout. While not everything is cheaper than elsewhere, you can still find some good deals if you take the time to look around. There are also a few places to eat, which makes it easy to spend a few hours here. Parking is simple and convenient, which is always a plus. Overall, a nice shopping experience

1887 station reinvented as a work of art, with colorful mosaics & ecological ambitions.
It has a very interesting design. Like rural areas. It gives you a sincere feeling of being among mud houses where people are more happy 😊 is that the reality here? I don’t know. Just walked around the town it looked beautiful. Lovely red brick houses.

I really loved the Architecture of this beautiful train station. As it looks a small station but it has good connections with the bigger German cities. I wish I could had more time to explore this station. In future I’ll definitely like to explore this beautiful building which you can see in the photos. Best, Adeel

Hundertwasser's last work. Enjoy the miracle in real life, don’t hesitate to wait a little bit and be alone in every little corner possible. It’s living art in the real life, people are living and moving around. it’s natural, don’t be surprised. For us, it was worth waiting for another train to continue our journey.
Peter ( — Google review
Beautiful train station with a clear Hundertwasser touch. Certainly makes the commute through the station special.
Thomas M — Google review
Small station with a unique interior design akin to the Flintstones. The floor has an undulating design with matching wall design. Quirky and so not Germany. The cafe/bakery is large with many tables, ample space and with a clear view of the platforms.

Museum Holstentor

Mentioned on

Museum
Historical landmark
Museum Holstentor is a fully restored Medieval gate in Lubeck, Germany, which now houses a museum dedicated to the city's history. Dating back to 1477, this iconic Gothic-style gate marks the western end of the former Hanseatic City and is recognized as one of the most visited sites in the country. The gate features two rounded towers and a block in the middle that appear as a single structure from one side but can be differentiated from another.
Beautiful, historic, serene place to walk around. Lots of transport nearly, you can get here but a bus or the main Lubeck central station is about a 5 minute walk only. Recommended..!

Evangelical church
Sights & Landmarks
Marienkirche, also known as St. Mary's Church, is an elegant Gothic structure in Lubeck that dates back to the 13th and 14th centuries. It is considered the mother church of Brick Gothic architecture and was the first to adapt the Gothic cathedral style using local brick. The church suffered significant damage during World War II when it was almost completely destroyed by RAF bombings.
I visited Marienkirche in Lübeck, Germany. The church is astoundingly beautiful with impressive architecture and great views. The entry fee was 4 Euros, but the experience is absolutely worth it. It’s a great visual treat, though there are no toilets inside. This is a must-visit place in Lübeck, and I highly recommend it!

life changing. the most beautiful building I have ever seen. and I have visited a lot of churches. though under renovation and with a pained past, this is a must visit for Luebeck. donations to the space are requested in the amount of 5 euro, and worth every penny. grandiose, colourful, full of life and death and it is all captivating. the organ concert I caught the tail end of nearly caused me a stroke - in a good way.
Arty B — Google review
Amazing monumental church with a lot of other interesting things to see inside. I think it worth the price of admission (4 euro). It's a must see if you visit Lübeck and you are interested in history and architecture.
Alex S — Google review
Marienkirche is the third-largest church in Germany, and one of the five large Gothic brick churches in Lübeck. The interior is stunning and learning the history of it was so interesting. During an air raid, a lot of the church was destroyed but it's been beautifully restored. During my time at the church, they were restoring another facade as well. There is a reconstruction of the Danse Macabre, and also some beautiful reliefs of the Last Supper and some statues of Mary, Gabriel, etc. I'm a huge fan of Bach and I was delighted to read that Bach may have come to Marienkirche to play the now-destroyed Totentanzorgel (Danse Macabre organ). I believe they also have services in Marienkirche, although I went on a weekday so I'm not 100% positive. Based on signage, I would say so. I recommend stopping in to learn about the history of Lübeck and the church, or even to sit in on a service! I'm going to come back perhaps to see the other four churches.
Siobhán W — Google review
St. Mary's Church which was built between 1250 and 1350 is the third largest church in Germany. It and has always been a symbol of the power and prosperity of the old Hanseatic city. Entrance is ticketed, 4 eur per person but it is without doubt worth to enter and see its magnitude from every corner inside.

Stuart G — Google review
I gave them 5 stars many years ago but now took them down to 3 cause during the years things have slowly declined. Don't get me wrong, the hotels are super nice and the pricing is so good during the off-season specials, but... * there are smokers EVEYWHERE blowing smoke in your and your kids faces. * Arcade area forces you to have cash as you cannot purchase game coins with cards. * last but not least the Playpark is fun but very noisy and extremely overcrowded with very long queues and chairs that rip your pants. The people were also very inconsiderate and wont give others turns on some of the equipment. Ending on a positive (sort of)... The swimming area is still super nice, fun and clean. They have really good change areas and lockers, but extremely scary stairs going to the swim zone. All in all its still a cheap getaway for the family and you still get more than your money's worth.

Ita D — Google review
UPD Anyway we decided to come by 14:30. It is good place inside: several slides, “lazy” river, big swimming pool, the little ones with warm water. There is a cafe and a shop inside, saunas. The good quality of service. All staff look like a qualified and pay very close attention to safety. The one moment which was not very good is the air temperature. Sometimes it is too cold, especially when the temporary staff (builders) (dresssed in the winter jackets) open the emergency exit door. Please pay attention: if you don’t want to pay for the towels - bring it from home. _____ We are going to come and relax here and the swimming pool is closed for half a day. So from 08.01 to 11.01 it will work from 14:30 only. And the children swimming pool and waves pool are closed too. The information about it is available only inside the Swimming pool. The google maps (which was updated a week ago) shows the swimming pool open. The same situation was on the official website.
Mariia T — Google review
All in all we had a great experience, the water park is amazing and there are plenty of things to do. I would suggest going when the kids are 3-4 years old, or older. We went off season in early spring, which were nice. Fairly crowded already, but i can only imagine how many people there would be during the season. All restaurant staff were friendly, but we had some run ins with the official resort staff, which just seemed to be annoyed at us being there. Its clean and well kept, great for kids. Way too few parking spaces of you rented a cabin, but all in all worth a trip 👍

CH — Google review
Pretty nice place with a decent variety of activities for children. A good playground, carousels and scooter cars for 1€ a turn. The Subtropichen Badeparadis was unfortunately closed during our stay, because of the pandemic, but the Dsjungelland (Jungle land) wasn't - which was a great succes. We didn't eat at the restaurants on site, but they looked mediocre and slightly overpriced, as expected. The cafés were mediocre and overpriced. The Dünenbad wellness swimmingpools were nice and child-friendly. Our room, which was 'am der Düne' was spacy and comfortable, however the floors were sandy upon arrival, which made us question the overall cleanliness. The area was lively, but not noisy, mainly occupied by families with pre-teenage children. We had a good time here, despite the weather letting us down for the stay.

Privately owned zoo and family run. Good prices. Amazing Chimpanzee enclosure and fantastic new seal enclosure! Great to just sit and chill to watch the animals. Best family experience still the farm/ petting area even with three teenagers 🐐! This zoo is beautiful designed and well developed over the last 40 years. The animals are well looked after! Big playground. You can bring a picnick or get sth from the food area. Free parking. Enjoy a fun day!

What a delightful zoo! It's perfect for families - big playground in the middle and it's possible to see all of the animals in one visit without feeling like you're hiking. There's a super collection of animals and the zoo grounds and enclosures are beautifully designed and well-kept. It's a bit pricey but not over-priced. The staff were always friendly. We've visited twice now and will happily return. Can only recommend it.
Michael R — Google review
I was positive suprised how well this Zoo is maintained. I have the feeling the whole park is taken care of with lots of love and enthusiasm. I didn't expect such a nice park far away of a big city and this from a private ownership. Big double or even triple plus from my side. The newer parts are very up to date and give the animals enough space to room and even take a break of the visitors who at some enclosure can enter for direct contact with the animals. Thank you for this lovely experience and respect for creating such a paradise in the countryside.

Langelandsfort is a historical complex of gun emplacements established in 1952 to defend against a potential Warsaw Pact invasion during the Cold War. The site features themed exhibitions housed in various bunkers, offering insights into spying and shell-loading activities. Visitors can also explore Denmark's last submarine, a decommissioned vessel, as well as a minesweeper and fighter planes. While some exhibitions lack English translations, the experience is enhanced for those familiar with the Cold War context.
Very nice museum with many original bunkers and guns. Also you can see a minesweeper and a danish submarine plus a MiG 23 fighter. You can feel the real life of the soldiers in this fort in the Cold War. A very interesting visit for me and my sons.

Really nice place, There are a 5 of Danish bunkers (From what i remember). 1 Plane, a couple of really cool tanks. 1 of the bunkers are made into its Original condition, The others kinda act like their own small Museum's, For example one is for the DDR, And so on. I would 10/10 say this is a lovely place (Extra side note, You can explore the fort by yourself, Or go on Free Guided tours that start at 11:00)

Nice tour for a family, there is a few interesting spot and bunker to see. Specially if someone into history and war machines.

A good open air museum of the cold war period. The museum is based around a substantial gun emplacement showing you the equipment, accommodation and lots of information about these years. Lost a star for having exhibits with no information boards - the tanks, field pieces, the APC....

963-metre-long steel bridge with two arches connecting the island of Fehmarn to the mainland.
Well constructed bridge. There was an ongoing maintenance when I visited yet it was a great experience

The bridge is closed for pedestrians and cyclists for several months due to construction. There is a big bus that, free of charge, that transports you and your bike across. Hard to find the bus stop in Avendorf but it is close to the regular bus stop.

It's pretty much a pretty bridge. Careful! It's pretty windy, but that's pretty much what happens if you build a bridge over the sea. So as a cyclist don't complain, walk and enjoy the pretty view.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
This tower in Wismar has a very beautiful view over the city centre and harbour. It's possible to see it only as a part of group tour. The group tours happen at the each full hour and cost 3 euros per person. The visit time is around 45 to 60 minutes and happens with guide and group. The stories told by guide take around half of the tour time, rest is used for climbing and taking pictures. It's rather not for English speaking people only, as the guide speaks only German. But if you're interested in seeing Wismar from above and seeing the tower from inside, it's definitely worth it.

Beautiful tower now used as a memorial of sorts. It was mostly destroyed in WW2 by the allies. All that's left is the tower. Some statues at the base are interesting. We didn't try to go inside the tower. Definitely worth coming to check out if in the city. It's one of the main sights.

Interesting place of historical significance. However, don't expect to be able to go on the tour in the tower unless you speak German. We were denied by the cashier and told to go to the close by church instead for a view, because the tour at St Marienkirche wasn't available in English and would take an hour. It didn't matter to us, but she said no. Very disappointed as the inside of the tower and the view was the thing that drew us there, but now we couldn't see it. It was only €3 but it's very frustrating when it's not available for outsiders.

Evangelical church
Sights & Landmarks
The Church of St. Nicholas, a magnificent redbrick structure that survived World War II almost unscathed, stands as a testament to Late Gothic architecture in Northern Europe. It is the largest of its kind and boasts a stunning Baroque-style interior adorned in red and beige hues. Visitors can explore the church from 10am to 6pm for a donation of 2 euros per adult, with printed guides available in English and German.
This historical and very nice church is located in a very quiet place. There’s a small water passageway nearby. The old and beautiful architecture is grand and magnificent. It seems to be undergoing some maintenance, but it’s still very lovely and highly recommended to visit.

St. Nikolai Church in Wismar is a stunning example of Brick Gothic architecture, built in the 14th century and dedicated to St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors. It was the parish church for sailors and merchants in this important Hanseatic port city. • The nave is over 37 meters high, one of the tallest of its kind in northern Germany. • Built entirely of red brick, it shows the classic style of North German Gothic churches. • The tower was destroyed in WWII and later rebuilt. • Today, it’s both a church and concert venue, known for its organ and historical charm. • It’s part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and the European Route of Brick Gothic.

A very beautiful church of St. Nicholas. Jut 5 minutes away from the main station and 10 minutes from the port harbour. This church is one of the main tourist attractions of Wismar. It has the same neo-gothic architecture built up in red stone. Inside you can find printed guides in English and German to have a read while you walk around. Has a small souvenir and postcard kiosk inside the church itself.

Андрій Г — Google review
The experience is pretty nice, but the aquarium isn't maintained well, we had bugs all over us after the tour. It was very irritating.
Rohan C — Google review
A small aquarium with much to see, this busy attraction is priced perfectly for it's size. You'll need no more than an hour to go through or two if you want to take your time reading all the facts and information placed next to the exhibits. The shark tank is a good stop with a clear view of the mighty predators. It was busy and crowded when we visited in the summer but I would still recommend it to anyone who loves the sea life and what lays or lurks in our waters
Owen B — Google review
This aquariums has a nice collection of fish but seemed pretty run down and in need of renovation. What we liked: there were steps for the kids to see into the fish tanks almost everywhere. Booking tickets online allows to avoid the line. The fish tunnel was nice. A good amount of explanation for each tank (not too much, not too little information). Free parking. What we didn't like: the toilets smelled, the shark tank was a bit sad looking, few opportunities to sit down and enjoy the fish from a distance.
Petra N — Google review
With the entrance fee in mind, it's a bit disappointing. Yes, they do have a tunnel where you can see sharks and stingrays, and a huge aquarium with a big shark, but that's just about it. Everything looks a bit tired and worn.
Nicky L — Google review
They have actual sharks and a tunnel aquarium. Those are cool. But still it lacks maintenance and certainly not good enough for the 12 euro entry ticket we paid. Also note there were no English sign boards or descriptions for anything on display inside. Not a deal breaker for me but non-german speakers will be disappointed.

The Great Belt Bridge is an impressive 18km-long structure that connects the islands of Zealand and Funen in Denmark. It incorporates a stunning suspension bridge, often compared to the elegance of the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge offers breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and is a popular route for road travel, with an option for discounted toll prices using BroBizz.
The biggest hanging bridge between Fyn and Sjælland. You can also take railroad trip aswell as motor traffic. It’s an amazing bridge I wished weather was better to take better pics and videos but since not so ;( . If you don’t want to stick in line by paying so it’s best idea get Brobizz and register nummer plate and past faster . For now it’s costing to use bridge and it’s little expensive but after 30 years of made dato will be free as they saying ✌️
Emre U — Google review
Ludicrously Expensive. You have to treat this as an attraction, I.e. an experience that you're paying for. As such, enjoy the view, get your passengers to take photos, and if you can, head to the free parking at the Isbådsmuseet on the Sjælland side to get a different view. We took our car from Scotland, so we had the unique experience of a rare RHD going over. 230kr. One way, though (£26 GBP). At that price, I wouldn't like it to be my regular commute.
L E — Google review
First thing - it's quite expensive, 230DKK is nothing cheap for simple bridge you will pass in few minutes. But it is good shortcut and interesting landmark. You can stop by next of some small (free) boat museum and enjoy the view, if you don't have rainy weather like we did.
Václav S — Google review
Adore it — Storebæltsbroen is more than an engineering icon — it cut travel time across Denmark by over an hour and symbolically united the country’s eastern and western regions. The eastern suspension bridge carries rail and road decks on separate levels, with cables containing ~18k individual steel wires—enough to circle the Earth nearly four times. Each pylon stands on caissons sunk into the seabed with millimeter accuracy, built to endure winds of 80 m/s and ship collisions up to 300000 tons.
Iryna K — Google review
I have used the Great Belt Bridge in Denmark a few times, which connects Zealand and Fyn islands. It's an incredible piece of architecture with stunning sea views. Spanning a total of 18 km, it's the longest bridge in the region. If you use BroBizz, you can get a discounted toll price. Driving across at 110 km/h, the experience is truly enjoyable with breathtaking panoramic views. Highly recommend for anyone driving between the islands!

07/19/2025@10:00 pm: Payment Impossible, no service contact available and no one takes care of toll gates. Police had to be called because service number was not operating at night. Total mess other direction one toll gate got destroyed. Due to it is not foreseen for foreigners to pay other than by card or by cash a long trafic jam was resulted. This is tourist unfriendly because other toll gates support online based pre-paid systems. Additional confusion because payments randomly only worked after double payment and following vehicles were confused if to go or stay and ask police if to pass unpaid or wait. In case of an emergency the non working payment systems could cause a potential security risc from resulted traffic jams because in case of emergency help will arrive with a long delay. Think over and change it!

Classic steam trains link 3 Baltic resorts, offering an old-fashioned dining car & a station museum.
Had to ride this train, it was a nice trip back in time. Quite a few stations to alight at or join depending what you wanted to do, go the beach, walk, explore or just be a tourist. The novelty of riding through a small town was fun. It is well worth the money

Lovely family experience, very family friendly. Our 5 year old adored it, our 9 year old spent most of the ride outside on the platform to look around. A great way to see some of the countryside in a relaxed way. Not possible to buy tickets in advance, but there were plenty of carriages. All very clean.

This is a great experience, for train buffs or just something different on holiday. The steam trains can be seen close up, the narrowness of the gauge is surprising. The carriages are well maintained but authentic, and the track runs through town countryside and even along the high street.

What a great way to enjoy a few hours in Germany and close to Warnemunde. Although it is a 'narrow gauge' railway there is nothing Micky Mouse about it. Plenty of room to seat passengers and a comfy ride on the permanent way which is obviously kept in excellent condition - what else would you expect in Germany. The journey goes through some typical for the area villages and small towns giving you a way to understand this agricultural area. I found it particularly interesting that some of the fields are cultivated to test new seeds and types of plants by Universities. A great chance to see another side to the normal impression other countries have of Germany.

Knuthenborg Safaripark

Mentioned on

Wildlife and safari park
Outdoor Activities
Knuthenborg Safaripark is a popular drive-thru park in Denmark that features a diverse range of animals from around the world. The park is divided into 11 zones and also includes adventure and water play areas. Visitors can interact with friendly horses and goats as well as encounter more exotic creatures like monkeys, zebras, giraffes, and tigers. The tiger area has been recently upgraded to provide an even better experience for visitors.
We love Knuthenborg. We have been there 3 times (one of them while we still lived in the country). My 6 years old daughter loves to re-visit the monkey area as she enjoys feeding them. This particular time we also paid a visit to the dinosaur park and it was impressive. We are never able ti spot a tiger which is a minus. Usually there are donkeys on the road, but this time they were hiding somewhere. The zebras were also far away from the road. The employees are always kind and friendly. Prices on all merchandise are high. You can bring your own picnic basket from home in case you are concerned about the price and speed of preparation of the food. If I lived in Denmark, I would buy an yearly pass to visit it more than once a year.
Lora O — Google review
Knuthenborg Safaripark is located in a lush area near the town of Maribo in Denmark and is considered one of the largest safari parks in Northern Europe. In this park, visitors can drive their own vehicles along designated routes through open and natural landscapes, getting up close to wild animals such as giraffes, tigers, rhinos, Arctic wolves, and many more. The natural and open setting allows animals to live in an environment similar to their native habitats, offering visitors a more authentic and immersive wildlife experience. In addition to the safari section, the park offers a variety of attractions for families, including a large playground, forest walking trails, and educational exhibits about the environment and animals. There are also accommodations within the park, allowing guests to stay overnight surrounded by nature and enjoy a unique and memorable experience. The park is designed to provide a peaceful and pleasant environment for both day trips and extended stays.
Nikoo S — Google review
Would have rated it with more stars but the new experience of seeing tigers and lions is not good. There is very less chance of seeing those animals. Not from the bridge nor from the panoramic window. The good parts are the dinosaur forest experience and the 2 roller coasters for the thrill.
Cornelia P — Google review
Hopefully this review can help the park make some improvements. The plus side is that you are able to get quite close to the animals and see savanna wildlife in a beautiful setting. The down sides are worth keeping in mind should you plan a family trip there. We stayed there overnight for a quite substantial amount of money for 2 adults and one 7 year old - approx 900 euros. Barely any staff available in the park. Poor directions and signage to drive around. Would be helpful to get a recommended order for the visit. And more info on the animals. In the tent, you are expected to wash, dry and put away your dishes with the threat of a 60 euro fine should you miss doing that. Empty your trash. Put on and take away your bed linen just to mention a few things that you would expect to be included when paying that much for 1 night. The food we ordered to prepare in the tent was bland. Compared to skanes djurpark in Sweden I would say you get much less for your money. I wrote a review for that too so anyone can check it out. It’s a pity because it’s such a beautiful sanctuary.
Johanna N — Google review
We’ve been to the park a few times and it never lets us down. The park is massive and there’s lots to see and discover. You can bring your own food or eat at the various points in the park dedicated to it, apart from the animals that stroll freely on huge terrains there’s also a big kiddy’s park at the bottom that if you go at the designated hours there’s a small rollercoaster and the water log ride included in the entrance price( that if you buy it online you save 30% off the price ) . Very recommended.
Thomas H — Google review
Great place. Kind and service minded staff. We rented a cabin for 4 days. Bring food whit you, if you rent a cabin. There are many picknic tables around the park. So you can bring food whit you on a daily trip also. If you rent a cabin gate close at 17:00 and you can't drive in or out. But you can walk around the park and some hours drive around. Great place for family. We was here in end of season.(October) a little cold, but it's was okey.
Christoffer D — Google review
It’s a like in the wild experience. It’s really a big park so you’ll need to have your car to go around and see the animals, there are also places you can walk to see other animals. Better start the tour in the morning if you’re planning for just a day trip but they also offer accommodation for families. There’s also different activities for kids. 🫶🏻💕
Sittie D — Google review
Absolutely fantastic experience. The animals roam free and there are plenty to see. For me the highlight was the dinosaur museum!

Nestled in the charming town of Bad Doberan, just a short drive from Rostock, the Doberaner Münster stands as a stunning example of 14th-century Gothic architecture. Originally part of a Cistercian monastery, this impressive brick church has withstood the test of time and serves as a burial site for members of the Mecklenburg dynasty. Visitors are often captivated by its rich history and serene ambiance, making it an ideal spot for spiritual reflection or simply soaking in centuries-old craftsmanship.
The place is worth to visit. The Doberan Minister is unique example of Brick Gothic cathedral of the monastery survived to our time. The cathedral was burial place for many members of Mekleburg dynasty. The entrance fee is around 3 € ,but you are allowed to make photos. The cathedral is huge and very beautiful. The territory around it also very beautiful, park ( used to be cathedral cemetery) with small lake and small garden full of flowers and other plants ( said to be reconstruction of the 800-years old apothecary garden).I highly recommend to visit this place. It is on close quarters of Rostok.

Impressive brick church built in the 1300s. I'm knocking off a star for two reasons. First, when we visited in May 2025, the church was being renovated, and it was unheated on a cold rainy day, so the experience was less than ideal. Second, the mortar is painted on, not really bricks-and-mortar. So not quite as it seems.

It is not so common you need to pay a ticket to visit a church in Germany. Here you need to pay. When I came here the church was renovated. A bit chaotic. I was a bit disappointed I could not really enjoy to be there. Other worse thing is there is a public rest room in front of the church but it closed. If you need to go to toilet you need to walk a bit to the main station.

My visit on Christmas Day 2018 was fantastic. I absolutely loved it. The Church was filled with parishioners and I drove in from Börgerende to visit. I happened to be in Germany for the Christmas holiday from SF. California and I was impressed by the history, ambiance, and maintenance of the Church and grounds. I will definitely visit when I return to Rethwisch Börgerede.

The Medieval Center is a living history museum that offers a glimpse into the life of a small market town from the Middle Ages. Visitors can immerse themselves in the early-15th-century medieval village, complete with costumed craftspeople demonstrating various activities such as archery, jousting tournaments, and firing of a trebuchet. The old merchant's house with its own harbor and boats provides picturesque scenery, while hands-on play experiences cater to children.
Outdoor living history museum. Went with a small group and we all had a wonderful visit. It was very informative yet entertaining at the same time, with points of interest for both young and old. Would definitely recommend stopping by. All of the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. There is a cafe on site but there are also picnic spaces available. Be sure to arrive before 12:00, so you can see the firing of the trebuchet/catapult. This was one of the highlights of our visit, along with the knight's tournament.

If you're a fan of the Middle Ages, you've got to go there! Not only do they offer the wonderful recreation of a medieval village, with many houses and shops made with care from the overall architecture to the tiniest details, but you can also attend a tournament, visit an enchanted forest with truly amazing houses (that fit although they're 19C-inspired), and see Medieval machines they have built from scratch. As a bonus, the gift shop offers a Medieval beer they have also recreated and that is made to be palatable to us moderners. A truly wonderful visit.

We had a great day with our preteen kids. Lots of activities and you can try out many different things. Places to eat, to play, to explore and the staff is always there to explain and share stories. The knight games were awesome! We paid around 500 to enter, and afterwards we found it absolutely worth it. Recommend to come early though, as some of the main activities are timed and done once a day. Parking is free.

This is a magical place. I visited it as a volunteer and got to live there for a whole week like in the Middle Ages. I enjoyed the stay from my heart. Lots of time to tell visitors about medieval baking and show my craft and equipment, including the period appropriate sleeping quarter. Even when there was a slight rain, the areal with its reconstructed buildings was alive with the other international re-enactors who had joined to spend the week there. Visit this place when you are in Denmark. Especially if there is an event with many volunteers. And if you do, don't just walk through the village between the shooting of the trebuchet and the tourney. Go everywhere, try out the small ways, look in windows and doors and ask everyone you meet. All the "medieval" people there have interesting things to tell. They might even let you try out stuff. With children the Center can be a marvellous adventure if you go exploring.

What a great find in north west Zealand. The trip to the garden is through the scenic country side. The destination is beautiful. The gardens all have a different atmosphere. There's an English, American, and Japanese garden. The farm animal section is great for kids.

This was a fantastik place to visit. We want on family trip for haloween. 2 adults and 2 kids. Fair entry price. Very pretty haloween setup and decoration. Loads of stuff for the kids. At driving, horror labyrinth, scary decorations, Donkey rides, petting zoo, and much much more. We spend about 3 hours and are the lunch we brought on the clean and covered terrasse. There was an eatery as well with the usual burger and fries but also other more Danish items. Again fair prices. Would happily go back and have a look again for the xmas decorations and marked. Time well spend and well worth it.

BonBon-Land is a delightful candy-themed amusement park that offers a wide variety of attractions suitable for all ages. From thrilling roller coasters to family-friendly rides and entertaining statues scattered throughout the park, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The park provides ample parking options, including free parking for season pass holders. Visitors can bring their own food for a picnic experience and explore the vast area filled with exciting features.
Great amusement park , with a lot of great options for all age groups. What I like the most is that we could bring our food inside and enjoy little picnic time. Is the place where we can spend whole day and still get to see new things around(is the big area, there are many amazing things in different corners 🙂) . Great parking space, few games has long queue but most of them had short waiting time. Its advantage that kids under 90 cm has a free entry. There is small water park for kids, so it’s better to take their swimming customs if they love playing with water.

It is a fantastic spot for a family day out. The kids absolutely love it, no question about that and there is something for everyone, regardless of age. From fun rides and playful activities for little ones to more thrilling attractions and relaxing areas for adults, the place offers an all rounded experience. It is the kind of place where you can easily spend an entire day without getting bored.

1. A bit too expensive. Differentiate between people taking the rides and those who just accompany them. 2. Many attractions were closed, and there was no info about it before er entered. 3. It's quite pricey - also with the golden membership card. 4. A bit neglected here and there. 5. What is that thing with farting in Bonbon Land? Is this really something that you can offer children in their spare time? (Show about farting, etc.) 6. Food is junk and expensive. 90% is just trash like slush ice, french fries, and coke. Besides: good size, quite many different places to play around, a lot of attractions where 3-4 years old can ride on, and rather friendly staff.

Roskilde Cathedral

Mentioned on 
51 lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Roskilde Cathedral, a 12th-century Gothic brick cathedral in Denmark, is a significant monument due to its unique architecture and historical importance. It is the first brick-built Gothic-style cathedral in Scandinavia and has evolved over 800 years to reflect changing architectural styles. The cathedral serves as the royal family's burial church, housing the tombs of numerous kings and queens. Visitors can explore its imposing exteriors and interiors while learning about Danish history.
You have to visit Roskilde Cathedral! Its amazing brickwork and unique style are so impressive, but the history inside is even better. Exploring the royal tombs is truly fascinating – especially look for the hidden tombstone of the three-legged horse and other cool myths surrounding the royal burials! The stunning Antwerp altarpiece and detailed royal tombs are also a beautiful sight. It was a fantastic visit, totally worth your time to discover its secrets!
K. D — Google review
As a history enthusiast, I was absolutely blown away by Roskilde Cathedral. This UNESCO World Heritage site is not just a stunning architectural marvel, but a living timeline of Danish royal history. Touring it with Ophelia Tours made the experience even more unforgettable - our guide Rene was knowledgeable, passionate, and made the entire visit engaging and fun. The cathedral’s sheer historical significance is staggering. It’s the final resting place of over 40 Danish monarchs, including Queen Margrethe I and King Christian IV. Walking through its chapels feels like stepping back in time - each one reflects the artistic styles and political shifts of the era in which it was built. From Gothic to Baroque to Renaissance, the cathedral is a tapestry of over 800 years of Danish history. The detail inside is breathtaking. The intricate tombs, the majestic organ, the soaring vaulted ceilings, and the peaceful crypts all tell powerful stories. I especially loved learning how the cathedral evolved over time and seeing how each generation left its mark - something you rarely get to witness so vividly in one place. Roskilde itself is a charming town, full of cozy streets, great cafés, and a welcoming vibe. It made the perfect day trip from Copenhagen - peaceful, beautiful, and rich with history. Highly recommend both the cathedral and Ophelia Tours. This was truly a highlight of our Denmark trip!
Dmitry Z — Google review
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. Today we celebrate its 30yrs. Very much worth a visit. Roskilde Cathedral is one of the most meaningful places to visit in Denmark, see a thousand years of Royal history, architectural masterpieces and art. Parking: limited parking available, 2hrs free parking and there will be a charge after that. Toilet is available inside the cathedral Disability access: may be a bit challenging as most areas have stairs. But may go around the plain floored part of the cathedral Original structure: Began as a church built by King Harald Bluetooth around 980 AD (made of wood). • The current brick cathedral replaced the earlier church around 1170–1280. • It was one of the first Gothic-style cathedrals in Scandinavia, built mainly from red brick, influencing church architecture across Northern Europe. 👑 Royal Burial Site • Since the 15th century, Roskilde Cathedral has been the main burial site for Danish monarchs. • Over 40 Danish kings and queens are buried here — including: • Queen Margrethe I (founder of the Kalmar Union) • King Christian IV • King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid • Future monarchs, like Queen Margrethe II, also have tombs prepared there - refer to last photos Inside the Cathedral • Richly decorated altars, frescoes, and royal sarcophagi. • Features impressive organ pipes and historic tombs made of marble and alabaster. • Each royal chapel is unique, showing how Danish art and architecture evolved through the centuries.

A true marvel of a cathedral, a burial place for many Danish kings. We took a tour that took as to the cathedral on a bus. We arrived right before the opening, and the whole place without crowds that appeared a short while later. The place is rich in history but a tour guide really helps to appreciate that. Otherwise it may look like a regular church.

Not far from the Roskilde Station. Going into Roskilde Cathedral feels like walking straight into the past. This is where Danish kings and queens have been buried for hundreds of years. You'll walk past royal tombs some in fancy and beautiful stone bed for a queen or king. The real "design" highlight is the royal chapels, which are like small museums themselves. Each one was built in a different time period, so you see everything from medieval wall paintings to huge, dramatic Baroque and Renaissance tombs.

Viking Ship Museum

Mentioned on 
+50 other lists 
Archaeological museum
Museums
The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, Denmark, offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient and medieval maritime culture. The museum is home to five remarkably well-preserved Viking ships that were excavated at Skuldelev and date back to the 11th century. Visitors can explore original 1,000-year-old Viking ships as well as exact replicas at the museum harbor.
An unforgettable experience for anyone who loves Norse history and mythology! The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde is not just a museum - it’s a journey into the heart of the Viking world. Standing face to face with actual ships that once sailed the seas over a thousand years ago gave me chills. These vessels, recovered from the Roskilde Fjord, are deeply tied to the seafaring spirit of the Norse people. If you're passionate about Nordic mythology, this place is a dream. You can easily imagine these ships as the kind that carried warriors who worshipped Odin, sailed under Thor’s protection, and told tales of Loki’s mischief by the fire. The longships here evoke the legendary drakkars - dragon-headed ships said to sail across Midgard and into mythic battles. The museum also shows how real Viking life blended seamlessly with the mythological world. The sea wasn't just water - it was sacred and feared, ruled by gods and creatures from the sagas. The craftsmanship of the ships reflects this reverence. There are also live demonstrations of traditional boatbuilding using ancient tools, and you can even sail in replica Viking ships yourself - a truly immersive way to feel like part of a saga. Beautifully located on the fjord, this museum is a must-visit. Whether you're a history buff, a mythology lover, or both, this is one of the most inspiring and atmospheric museums in Denmark.
Dmitry Z — Google review
At the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, you’ll see the real Viking history — quite literally in pieces. The remains of five original Viking ships are displayed here, each with its own story of sea voyages, trade, and warfare. There are guided tours and activities running throughout the day, so it’s worth checking the schedule when you arrive. The guide shares the fascinating history behind the five ships that were discovered just a stone’s throw from here, in Roskilde Fjord. For those feeling hands-on, there’s a small workshop where you can try building your own miniature Viking ship. The kids especially loved hammering and sawing away. I had signed up for the sailing tour, where you get to sail on a Viking ship and even help raise the sail as part of the crew. Unfortunately, only four of us showed up out of the ten tickets sold — the rain kept the rest away. Without enough people for the weight balance, the trip had to be cancelled. Safe to say, I was pretty disappointed — it’s not every day you get to sail like a Viking. There’s also a restaurant by the museum. I tried the Viking platter — decent, but nothing to shout about.

Not far from the Copenhagen, about 30 mins train ride. Just a reminder, you have to walk about 30-40 mins from Roskilde Station to the Viking Museum. Arrived at the Roskilde Viking Ship Museum around mid morning. There are two areas: first inside the agreat Hall, you'll see the five ancient Skuldelev ships in somewhat in skeletons forms. You'll feel a quiet awe just looking at their thousand-year-old remains. Second part is the outside where you'll see a beautiful place view with tons of boats. Tons of things to do outside, you can watch boatbuilders meticulously crafting replica ships in the boatyard. You can also sail out on the fjord in one of the reconstructed longships, sadly no more available slots for the day. If you have the budget and you'd like to fully experience, I suggest to pre book before going. Since we went during summer (end of August) you are allowed to climb aboard other replicas at the harbor, even try on Viking clothes. Overall it's a full experience.

One of the most important attractions and museums during the visit to Copenhagen (40minutes by train). Staff are so welcoming with smile. Cinematography short movie in many languages will help a lot to understand the museum. The workshops outside will show you how the V-boats were built. Don’t miss it
Jean Z — Google review
A world-class and unique experience which is a must-visit if you're coming to Copenhagen as it's brilliant and only a 30-minute ride on the train (which is cheap and very frequent). See several recovered Viking long ships, discover about the different types and how they were built and used and then see expert craftspeople making replicas for experimental archaeology - sailing them to see how the Vikings would have used them. You can also become part of a crew in a small longboat close to the centre. And kids can design and make their own boat in wood with hand tools. Free tours in Danish and English by students are good and friendly. The venue hosts special exhibitions downstairs in the main hall. Several places to eat and drink on-site. Medium-size car park. If walking from the town train station, it's a pleasant and mostly flat walk. The shop has lots of Danish culture things to buy as well as stuff related to the Vikings. All staff friendly and helpful.

This museum is an incredible place filled with authentic Viking ships, fascinating artifacts, and tons of interesting facts about the Vikings. Both children and adults will find plenty to explore and enjoy. During my visit, there was a blacksmith workshop where a skilled craftsman demonstrated traditional forging techniques. There was also a shipbuilding area where craftsmen were using hand tools to build seaworthy Viking ships — a truly impressive sight. For kids, there’s a small hands-on workshop where they can build their own miniature ships from scrap wood and test them in a water pool. There’s also a replica of a Viking household, complete with Viking clothing you can try on and a play area for children. The museum also has an excellent restaurant with delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. And best of all — if the weather is good, you can join the crew of a real Viking ship replica and sail out to sea. An unforgettable experience!

I was a bit sceptical at first when i read its about one Viking boat restored. But there are 5 of them, and , whats more they have been fully rebuilt and are available even to step-in at the port next to the museum ! I learnt a lot from the short film in the museum. Go to the boat workshop at the port - they are just building a new boat, using old traditional tools, and you can chat with craftsmen. It was Worth a visit/trip from Copenhagen.

Roskilde Viking ship museum is a fantastic place. The museum has the excavated remains of Viking vessels, with activities for kids. Outside are reconstructed vessels and workshops where they are experimentally building new Viking vessels. Good facilities and cafes, free entry with a Copenhagen card and easily signposted from Roskilde train station. Well worth a visit.

The Cold War Museum Stevnsfort, located in South Zealand, Denmark, offers guided tours of a 1950s underground fortress carved into limestone cliffs. This fortress served as a crucial element of defense for Denmark and NATO during the Cold War. The site features well-preserved equipment and offers an intriguing tour that includes visits to anti-aircraft batteries, anti-ship turrets from a German WWII battleship, and deep underground command posts and armories.
Nobody was supposed to know. Nobody was allowed to talk about it. Buried deep in a piece of cliff, Stevnsfort was a top-secret building block in the defense of Denmark and NATO during the Cold War. The so called Stevnsfort in Denmark is the Last Fortress of the Cold War Era: A hidden Frontline, deep under the Surface. Read the full story about the forgotten fortress here:

There is so much space for picnic and barbecue. Parking is with fee. Easy access from parking and not so much trekking needed. There are steep steps to get down to the beech. Highly recommend it!

Enjoyable little stop. There's the UNESCO site with a couple small churches and a stairway down to the beach (closed when we visited in March), where you can see the cliffs. A couple minutes up the coast is the lighthouse along with free parking and a bathroom. You can't see the cliffs from there but they have free binoculars to see around the area.

Small place with breathtaking viewpoints all along the clif. Just watch out, hardly any fences and the cliffs must be around 50-70 meters high. At the far end there is a rather large paid (5 euro, card only) parking from where its a 2 minute walk to the church and start of hiking trails along the cliffs

Visited late in the afternoon so there were not a lot of people around. The view of the cliffs were amazing from the old church. It's nice that they rebuilt the stairs with metal now but it is quite steep so need to be extra careful going down the beach. Happy to have found one stone with a fossil as well.

Great place to visit, the little church is funny looking and it is quite impressive to see the cliff face, even if it is really hard to distinguish the different layers. Be aware that access down to the beach is via a steep stair.

Beautiful place to visit. The history of the church is fascinating. The shoreline is very picturesque, a nice walk to the lighthouse. Recommend the restaurant by the lighthouse, but may need to book at busy times.

There is a beautiful walking path along the coast! The cliffs, lighthouse, fort and church were lovely in a bucolic setting.

Nice spot ! Very enjoyed the view and the fosils search ! Take the time to talk with a guide to be sure to search for the right thing ! There is a lot of fosils to find !! It’s also a nice place to flight a Drone but there is a lot of wind …

Art museum
ARKEN Museum of Contemporary Art is a small but impressive museum that offers a diverse collection of contemporary artworks, sculptures, and installation art. The museum's building itself is noteworthy and the exhibitions are quite impressive. Visitors can also enjoy a creative workshop for families and a cozy cafe. Additionally, the museum's location near the beach makes it an ideal destination for art enthusiasts looking to explore both culture and nature in one trip.
I usually visit Arken 3 or 4 times per year, it’s always a beautiful journey, not only about art, but the area it’s calm, gives this inspirational and wonder vibe! The restaurant I advise to relax there for lunch or just a coffee. Last time I tried Enoki, vegan dish, was ok, I believe that I’m not a fan because I don’t love fried food, but try I would say

The museum has some special exhibitions, and little by little visitors emerge into the artistic world. I enjoy the welcoming and warm of the staff members, and how kind they communicate with the customers but also between each others transmitting a nice feeling of a community. For some video projections more seats are needed as there was no space for everyone. The location is simply beautiful. Other than that, there is a big parking place also used by those going to the strand and not visiting the museum, and a small bycicle space.

If you love modern art, this is the place for you. Plus it sits in a beautiful surrounding, with walks around the lakes and by the sea. A lovely cafe is just a few hundred yards away with pizza, beer, ice cream and other refreshments. Spend an extra hour exploring the nature walks if weather permits. You may even be lucky enough to spot a troll on your walk!

truly engaging experience with its thought-provoking exhibitions and interactive attractions that leave a lasting impression. The location, slightly away from the city center, adds to its unique atmosphere and makes the visit even more memorable. On top of that, the museum café serves excellent coffee, making it a perfect spot to reflect on the art and the overall experience.

A very nice contemporary art collection showing a large variety of mediums and subjects. They also include community projects and plenty of opportunities to rest and create. Family oriented and cozy.

Cool museum! Lots of modern and interactive art that’s fun to explore. Loved that you can actually engage with the exhibitions instead of just looking at them. The building and seaside location make it even better. If you are looking for a different museum experience this is a good option.

An interesting modern art museum by the coast. Not the most inspiring building on the outside, but good exhibits, café/restaurant and shop. Unfortunately, the day we came there was extremely loud construction going on. The museum gave cheap entrance and a free coffee because of the noise, but it would have been nice if they had stated the ongoing work on their website. Still a good place to visit and very nice food. Our highlight was the plastic ball pool for all ages. Lots of parking but unfortunately no electric car charging available.
