A beautiful hotel with the feeling of a B&B. A very welcoming host; a nice, quiet location; big, clean rooms; and great food at their restaurant as well. We only stayed there for 2 nights, but we'd love to come back.

Wonderful place to be for an escape from a busy week. The view of the river from the hill top is magnificent along with centuries old history of the ruined castle.

Definitely worth a visit, probably one of the largest statues in Europe. There is lots in the surrounding areas, cafes just behind. There is access to the fortress within a 5 minute walk and the old town is only a 7 minute walk A must see if visiting the area

If you wouldn’t know you would think you are in Italy. Such a fantastic fortification, great history, great building complex, fabulous exhibitions, although there could be more explanations in English, (for example the videos in the wine exhibition with subtitles). Grey views, great restaurant a must see when in this area.

Excellent way to get to the top of the city. Great views all the way through. Highly recommend to all to take this short ride to see the city, the rivers, and a quick access to the fort atop the hill. The cabins are large, seats are well placed for viewing on all sides, and the entire system is very well maintained.

This was a great castle to view, because unlike many of the restore castles, this one is more in its original state. It had some very fascinating areas to explore with great views of vineyards and the river. And the museum area has a lot of beautiful artifacts that are very interesting as well. Definitely worth the visit.

I recommend the ring tour but check the times for when the boat runs - they didn't advertise how early the boat stops running even though the tour is officially open until 7 that would never work to complete the tour. I had to take the train back to Rudesheim. The views were stunning, the ice cream and coffee delicious at the top, and the music was fun. The monument is gorgeous.

A Masterpiece of Late Romanesque Architecture the Limburg Cathedral, consecrated in 1235, is an outstanding example of late Romanesque architecture with early Gothic influences. Its striking façade features seven spires and intricate decorative elements typical of the Romanesque style. Inside, visitors can admire the well-preserved medieval frescoes and the harmonious layout of the nave and choir. Located on a hill overlooking the Lahn River, the cathedral has been a prominent landmark in Limburg for centuries, combining architectural significance with historical importance

Small museum run by strict time and appointments. We were on a local guide tour, so he did the actual printing demonstration and gave us background and insights. I'm not sure how a walk-in would have been treated. Very interesting museum and a great addition to my knowledge of Gutenberg. Give it a try.

Mainz Cathedral is truly a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture and a place where you instantly feel the weight of history—and the serenity of the present. From the moment you approach its striking red sandstone façade and soaring towers, the cathedral commands attention. Yet, once inside, what stands out most is the calm and quiet atmosphere. The interior, with its high vaulted ceilings, delicate stained-glass windows, and softly lit chapels, invites reflection and stillness. Each corner offers something unique: from colorful modern stained-glass windows to beautifully preserved medieval sculptures and ornate altars. The cathedral is not only a feast for the eyes but also a deeply spiritual space, whether you’re religious or not. Sitting in the long nave, surrounded by centuries-old stone and gentle candlelight, brings a sense of grounding and peace. A small exhibit area shares more about the cathedral’s long and storied past, and there are plenty of nooks to explore if you enjoy architecture, art, or quiet contemplation. Right in the heart of Mainz, this is a must-visit spot that feels worlds away from the busy streets just outside.

Beautiful but busy train station with vaulted ceilings and awe inspiring architecture. Some cool and fun things to note like the Frankfurt train station sign at the far end and the small toy coin operated train set. Decent food selections. Ticket booths are plentiful, but be aware that there are different ticket machines for different lines. S trains (e.g. to airport) are down below. Train times are fairly accurate. Access through the north, east, and south entrances.

The Main Tower Restaurant offers a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Every course was exceptional, with meticulously prepared dishes that showcased attention to detail. The service was superb—attentive and professional—and the quiet atmosphere added to the enjoyment.

Lovely and beautiful places in Frankfurt, Germany. The buildings are designed amazingly!

Beautiful cathedral. Really enjoyed the experience. I went to the top of the tower, the staircase is really narrow steep and long so be prepared for a bit of a hike but once you are at the top it's a full 360° view of the city. The price was quite reasonable I believe it was €5 per person but I could be mistaken. 10/10 if in Frankfurt this is a great place to go. There's also lots of historical buildings in the vicinity including places to eat or grab coffee. Great place to spend an afternoon.

I didn't know much about Marburg and ended up there a bit by chance. I think this was a wonderful alternative to Rothenburg, maybe better. The old town and walk to the castle are everything you want or expect when visiting Germany.

Fulda Cathedral (German: Fuldaer Dom, also Sankt Salvator)[1] is the former abbey church of Fulda Abbey and the burial place of Saint Boniface. Since 1752 it has also been the cathedral of the Diocese of Fulda, of which the Prince-Abbots of Fulda were created bishops. The abbey was dissolved in 1802 but the diocese and its cathedral have continued. The dedication is to Christ the Saviour (Latin: Salvator). The cathedral constitutes the high point of the Baroque district of Fulda, and is a symbol of the town.

Hercules Kassel – A Great Family Spot! A wonderful place to spend the day with family and kids. There’s lots of walking involved, so wear comfy shoes, but the scenery makes it worth it! It’s peaceful and perfect for a relaxing Sunday getaway. Some areas could use a bit of maintenance, but it didn’t take away from the experience. Overall, a beautiful place to enjoy nature and history at your own pace.

Really very beautiful park... great spot to go for a walk with your family and friends enjoying the great natural scenic view along with the great view of the castle.. from 1st of May to 3rd of May you'll have a chance to enjoy the water play.. we'll once again visit this spot during this time to enjoy the water play. #familyandfriendspot #hiking #castle

Can be accessed by car, there is a parking lot next to it. If you are out of luck as we were there are additional parking spots in the city below with busses riding to the castle. You can also take one of the hiking trails that offer a lot of scenic views. The castle itself is well preserved, there is an armory to visit and a tower to see everything around. Definitely worth seeing if you are around. Additionally I only noticed it recently but at the start this castle is shown in the LP music clip One last time.

Veste Coburg is an absolute gem among German castles! Its impressive walls, rich history, and stunning views of the surrounding area make it a must-visit. The interiors are filled with fascinating exhibits, and the museum offers an interesting collection of art and weaponry. Walking through the courtyard and along the castle walls is a real pleasure, especially on a sunny day. Bonus points for the well-presented historical information and friendly staff. I highly recommend it to all history enthusiasts and lovers of beautiful landscapes!

This is probably the first thing you should visit as a tourist in Erfurt - it's beautiful, there's lots of cute little shops, you can get some ice cream and sit and enjoy the view of this beautiful bridge and all the people who are walking past. There were lots of tourist groups, but it was still relatively quiet. I'd really recommend coming here!

Beautiful huge house on a lovely square in Weimar. I did not listen to the audio tour and managed to enjoy viewing Goethe’s city home. I recently read Andrea Wulf’s Inventing Nature about Alexander Von Humboldt’s friendship with Goethe, and more. Fascinating! The floors of this old house were really creaky.

Leipzig Zoo is hands down the best zoo I’ve ever been to – just go! The area is massive and beautifully designed, with tons of space to explore. The animals are surprisingly close, and there’s an amazing variety – I saw species I’d never even heard of before. There are plenty of spots to grab food or a drink along the way, which makes the whole visit super chill. The highlight for me was the tropical hall *Gondwanaland* – a huge indoor rainforest with its own climate. It’s seriously impressive and makes the whole experience feel really unique.

Leipzig Hauptbahnhof is a bustling transportation hub that seamlessly blends historic architecture with modern amenities. Its impressive design, efficient layout, and numerous shops and restaurants make it a convenient and enjoyable place to travel through. However, it can get quite busy at peak times, so be prepared for crowds. Overall, it's a well-maintained and functional station that serves as a gateway to Leipzig and beyond.

The Monument to the Battle of the Nations (Völkerschlachtdenkmal) is an absolute must-see in Leipzig. Towering at 91 meters, it commemorates the historic 1813 Battle of Leipzig, one of the largest conflicts in European history, where Napoleon’s army was decisively defeated. This striking monument is not only a symbol of resistance and unity but also a masterpiece of early 20th-century architecture. Surrounded by a tranquil reflecting pool and parkland, the monument offers an awe-inspiring exterior and an equally impressive interior. Visitors can ascend to the top for panoramic views of Leipzig and explore the solemn halls, giant warrior statues, and crypt-like chambers that leave a lasting emotional impact. Its grand scale, peaceful atmosphere, and deep historical significance make it one of the most important landmarks in the city. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or simply a curious traveler, this site offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Clean, well-maintained, and accessible, the Völkerschlachtdenkmal is more than just a monument—it’s a place of memory, reflection, and beauty. If you're visiting Leipzig, this iconic site belongs at the top of your list.

Magic place. 95 thesis changed the world. Martin Luther inspired the human kingdom.

A really good trip out around the local area and then to the palace. Its small but impeccably designed with a lot of fine detail. As this was more of a retreat for the king its less grand in scale than other palaces but I really enjoyed visiting it and learning the history.

Really stunning garden I like the right one which is like a symetrical maze. There they want to plant fruit days like in the creation days. The statues around the central fountain are very impressive for me
