If you come on a public holiday, I'd suggest ordering your food upon arrival. Let one of you find a parking spot, and then stand in the queue to get the food. 2 hours later, if you're lucky enough to make you understood by the waiter, you can get your "fast food" somehow ready.
Steven — Google review
Unfriendly and super slow service. Had to leave to the town to get some food. As a result we only spent a half day instead of the planned whole day at the park.

(Translated by Google) After a great visit to the wildlife park, nothing beats a good portion of meat ^^ Unfortunately there isn't even a salad in this restaurant :/ After feeding deer all day, you can look forward to a delicious deer ragout in the evening 👎🏼 (Original) Nach einem tollen Besuch im Wildpark, geht doch nichts über eine ordentliche Portion Fleisch ^^ In diesem Restaurant gibt es leider nicht mal einen Salat :/ Nach dem man also den Tag über Hirsche füttern durfte, kann man sich über ein leckeres Hirschragout am Abend freuen 👎🏼

(Translated by Google) Clean but inedible. Currywurst fries for €6.50 read great at first... what was offered is a lukewarm bratwurst in spiced ketchup with a touch of curry powder and fries that can be compared in quality to oven fries at home. If the simplest basics aren't even right, I'm really glad I didn't try the wild burger for €13.50. The store seems to be holding up because the park is well attended... which still surprises me. (Original) Sauber aber ungenießbar. Currywurst pommes für 6,50€ las sich erstmal klasse... was dargeboten wurde ist eine lauwarme Bratwurst in gewürzketchup mit einer Brise currypulver und pommes die von der Qualität her mit Backofen pommes zuhause zu vergleichen sind. Wenn die einfachsten basics nicht mal stimmen bin ich echt froh, dass ich den wildburger für 13,50€ nicht probiert habe. Der Laden hält sich scheinbar weil der Park gut besucht ist... was mich trotzdem wundert.

(Translated by Google) Today, four of us were here for the second time. And certainly for the last time. The food is unfortunately terrible. The wait for food is endless, and they only serve meat. Not even a side salad or a sandwich. The park and the restaurant are open until 6:00 PM, but there was nothing to eat at 5:00 PM because the kitchen had already closed. The 8 km circular trail had some deep potholes, but it was very clean. A bird of prey show that we attended was our highlight; it was informative and you could experience the birds up close. €55 for four people was quite reasonable. The food was just sausage, schnitzel, and meatballs, with immense wait times. Gravel road with some large potholes, but clean and well-maintained. A plus was the great, large playground with lots of fun activities (carpet slide, jelly, trampolines, and much more). Unfortunately, we had to go home hungry because the restaurant was too crowded at lunch and the kitchen was closed in the afternoon. Bottom line: Once you've been there once, you won't need to go back again. (Original) Wir waren heute mit 4 Personen zum 2. Mal hier. Und sicher auch zum letzten Mal. Die Gastronomie ist leider total schlecht. Die Wartezeit für ein Essen dauert ewig und es gibt nur Fleisch. Nichtmal einen Beilagensalat oder ein belegtes Brötchen. Der Park und das Restaurant sind bis 18:00 Uhr offen, aber etwas zu Essen gab es es um 17:00 nicht mehr, da die Küche schon geschlossen hatte. Der 8km lange Rundweg war teils mit tiefen Schlaglöchern versehen, jedoch sehr sauber. Eine Greifvogel Show die wir besucht hatten war unser Highlight, informativ und man konnte die Vögel hautnah erleben. 55€ für 4 Personen war ganz ok. Gastronomie nur Wurst, Schnitzel, Frikadelle mit immensen Wartezeiten. Schotterpiste mit teils großen Schlaglöchern, aber sauber und gepflegt. Ein Plus war der tolle große Spielplatz mit vielen attraktiven Aktivitäten (Teppichrutsche, Wackelpudding, Trampoline, u.v.m.) Mussten aber leider hungrig nachhause fahren, da der Andrang im Restaurant mittags zu groß war und nachmittags die Küche geschlossen hatte. Fazit: Wenn man einmal dort war, muss man kein zweites Mal hin.

(Translated by Google) We have enjoyed visiting the Waldhaus Restaurant in the Daun Wildlife and Adventure Park for many years. Now we have seen an innovation in the outdoor area for the first time, that we really like: Extra tables and seats are offered for those who have been vaccinated, tested negative or have recovered. We finally feel protected at mealtimes and have plenty of seating to choose from. Overall, this security area is very spacious and there are even covered seats. At no time did we have the feeling that “unvaccinated people” were getting too close to us. This group of people has also been taken into consideration: There is a covered seating area, even with a barbecue facility. During our visit, however, we could observe from a distance that this area was completely overcrowded, probably also because of the rain. We are very pleased about this successful project, and it would be nice if this demarcation could perhaps be extended to include the sanitary facilities available there. Better safe than sorry! The irony of the story: Unfortunately, I couldn't rate the food today because I was no longer hungry due to spontaneous nausea and had to leave the park immediately. (Original) Seit vielen Jahren besuchen wir gerne das Waldhaus Restaurant im Wild- und Erlebnispark Daun. Nun haben wir zum ersten Mal eine Neuerung im Außenbereich gesehen, die wir wirklich gut finden: Es werden extra Tische und Sitzplätze für geimpfte, negativ getestete oder genesene Angeboten. Endlich fühlen wir uns bei den Mahlzeiten geschützt und haben reichlich Auswahl an Sitzgelegenheiten. Insgesamt ist dieser Sicherheitsbereich sehr großzügig angelegt und es gibt zusätzlich sogar überdachte Sitzplätze. Zu keiner Zeit hatten wir das Gefühl, dass uns „ungeimpfte“ zu nahe kommen. An diesen Personenkreis wurde aber auch gedacht: Es gibt eine überdachte Sitzgelegenheit, sogar mit Grillmöglichkeit. Bei unserem Besuch konnten wir allerdings aus der Ferne beobachten, dass dieser Bereich völlig überfüllt war, wohl auch wegen aufkommenden Regens. Wir freuen uns sehr über dieses gelungene Projekt, und es wäre schön wenn man diese Abgrenzung vielleicht auch auf die dort vorhandenen sanitären Anlagen ausweiten könnte. Sicher ist sicher! Die Ironie der Geschichte: Das Essen konnte ich heute leider nicht bewerten, da ich aufgrund von spontan aufkommender Übelkeit, leider keinen Hunger mehr hatte und sofort den Park verlassen musste.

(Translated by Google) Very long wait! The game dishes are still quite good, but everything else is tasteless and cheaply made! I've been to the restaurant twice, and this was the last time. (Original) Sehr lange Wartezeit ! Wildgerichte sind noch ganz gut aber alles andere ist geschmacklich nicht besonders und billig hergestellt !!! Ich war 2 mal im Restaurant und das letzte mal.

Eagle and Wolf Park Kasselburg

Wildlife park
Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
10-acre wildlife park amid 12th-century castle ruins with wolf feedings, bird shows & a petting zoo.
The bird show was a wonderful experience! Lots of different birds, they told interesting stories about the birds. Most impressive were the vultures, everybody had to lay down on their backs and the vultures soared over us at very low altitude. You can also climb up to tower of the castle that’s within the park which offers beautiful views of the surrounding area. Also went to the wolf feeding which cool to witness. The park employee explained how things work in these wolfpacks which was enlightening.
Reinder J — Google review
Pretty cool spot. I advise you to check the times for animal feedings so you can see that excitement.
Max — Google review
This was a really neat experience! You can tell the animals are very well cared as they were active and the enclosures were spotless. Very peaceful and natural environment with a gorgeous castle to explore inside and out! They have a nice play area for children, restaurants and a gift shop. We watched the wolf feeding and it was so neat. The bird show was fantastic and interactive. You can tell they really care for these animals and provided a lot of knowledgeable information during each show. Absolutely recommend coming here!
Jeff M — Google review
We so love coming here, very reasonable entrance fee. Amazing scenery, wonderful bird displays, seeing the wolves being fed and you can feed goats and sheep yourself (they really like this). Very nice restaurant and everywhere clean. The castle although partially ruined, is home to the birds in large cages and you can climb up the tower to see the views and other complete rooms and a chapel.
Sue P — Google review
Was an awesome day there, a great family trip adventure and plenty to see for the kids. Don’t expect to much if your not there in time. They got specific timetables for feeding the wolfs and even a great bird show.
WantClue — Google review
Great little wildlife park to spend an hour or two. Wolves, deer, goats (you can pet), predatory birds and owls. Come around 2 so you can catch the bird show at 15 and the wolves feeding at 15:45
King_Gizzard — Google review
Still the best wildpark I've been to. Make sure you pay for a ticket to go into the wolf enclosure during feeding to get the best pictures!!
Sjoerd P — Google review
What an amazing place. Fantastic castle with the added bonus of a woodland walk taking you to packs of Wolves and birds of prey. Some of the birds of prey are housed within the castle walls. The view from the top of the castle is amazing (with a 157 step spiral staircase to climb). There are daily flying displays and wolf feeding events where you can get close to both. You can also see pygmy goats and deer and buy food to feed them There is also a play area and a cafe to get hit drinks and food. Fantastic day out that wasn't too busy either.

Did a great little wine tasting as part of a Viking cruise. The host gave a great history of the winery and the tasting cellar was a great ambiance for a tasting. We tried some of the best wines, and they threw in a red they have been playing with that was actually pretty good. I think they will get there with the reds with further development. We just had a little palate cleansing bread and stuff for our tasting, but they have food and the menu looked pretty good to me. Didnot have time to go back for a full meal, but per our guide their food was very good. A nice small quaint winery, and I would recommend worth a stop in to check it out in a classically beautiful Germanic medieval architecture

We were welcomed by Monika, a kind lady who knows her wine! She gave us tastings of their Trockens, as we prefer the dry rheislings. It was a lovely visit and we were happy to buy a few bottles.

Informative degustation, delicious wine, cosy backyard to sit and enjoy a glass of a very tasty wine. Best recommendations from us!
Diana M — Google review
Our river cruise tour took us to the Mosel wine museum in the gorgeous, wine country of Bernkastel-Kues, Germany. It is set in cool, vaulted, moodily lit cellar of St. Nicholas hospital. They have the most Moselle Riesling in the world, with over a hundred varieties. For a small fee, you can can sample any wine that you like on your own. Each wine has all off the information clearly displayed with which winery that it comes from. My wife loves wine, I don’t drink it at all, but I did really enjoy the experience. The dry wine is in one wing and the sweeter wine is in another. I actually liked some of the sweeter wines, but I was mostly there for morale support! My wife absolutely loved the wines and bought a few bottles to take to Paris. Upstairs the helpful staff made it easy to find the wine that you liked in the cellar. I suggest taking a picture of the wine that you chose, as they really have a wide selection. They even have a cool event room in the cellar with seating, tables and chandeliers. A lovely, unique experience in a beautiful, historic city on the Mosel river. A fun experience.
Kevin J — Google review
The wine museum was closed indefinitely, but we were able to explore the wine cellar. The tasting was $20+ euros with access to over 300 wines, which seemed worth it even though we originally went for the museum. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff and most wines were stocked. Would definitely recommend!

A superb discovery where you can help yourself to taste over 100 local wines from small to large producers at your own pace for €18 (or less if you have a Bernkastel guest pass). Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff (who very kindly spoke good English!) who were very helpful and not at all pushy to sell. You can then either buy a glass and enjoy there with a warm Pretzel, or purchase to take with you, all excellent value. A great way to introduce yourself to a wide range of Mosel wines.

Eifel Zoo

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Visited today with children, what a lovely zoo! We spent about 3.5 hours and loved that it was so well laid out, you can walk the full loop and see all the animals. Really good for younger children especially as a nice playground and train. There is a cafe on site serving pizza, chips, bratwurst, drinks and ice creams. There are a lot of animals you can hand feed, including llamas, alpacas, donkeys, ponies and goats. We especially loved the guinea pigs as they had babies! Very reasonably priced, with free parking and fairly accessible (just a few slopes) with toilets beneath the cafe. It was a lovely place to spend the morning 😄
Rachel E — Google review
I really don’t understand all negative reviews here, because zoo is amazing!!! First of all, beautiful location! It’s not just a typical boring park with animals. It’s a unique place, surrounded by mountain river and all the details is so lovely like beautiful old sculptures, beautiful garden, trees. Animals have good space to live, it’s clear to see that owners love them and take care good. It’s a pity that part of the zoo destroyed because of flood, it’s still a lot to do. I think this beautiful place deserve more support! Railway will probably starts to work since Easter. Would be cool if grill will work also))) Some people wrote before that wc was dirty which isn’t true (maybe before was like that), now it’s good, clean, nice. Workers super nice and friendly! I want to tell them thank you for not giving up and taking care about this beautiful zoo and lovely animals! PS: would be cool if people could feed animals with food which they like) maybe more fresh fruits (owners should know better), it’s just my idea. PPS: we will definitely come back ❤️❤️❤️💋
Анна Г — Google review
Lots of animals that can be hand fed. Have been visiting for years and always a fun day out. They are recovering from the flood, but there is still plenty to see. Be sure to bring one euro coins as the animal feed dispensers only take one euro coins.

Great experience for children. Good selection of animals who all seemed well cared for with plenty of space. Lots of animals for children to feed and the autumn colours were amazing. We had food from the cafe which was of good quality. Thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Small but a nice place. Taking the train for feeding the animals gets you really close to them. There is a small bar which is not expansive. I liked it but take in mind it's not a big zoo
Tom B — Google review
We went to this little zoo during the day, for us, with two little kids, it was a nice activity for about 2 hours. The zoo isn't that big. The zoo was terribly affected by the floods in 2018, you can still see the effects. We hope it will be as glorious as it used to be. I would still recommend it for a quick visit. But keep in mind in about two hours you'll have seen everything at least once.

Eifelpark

Amusement park
Water & Amusement Parks
Family park with classic fairground & water rides, plus bears & wolves in a wildlife area.
The kids, although young (2&4 yrs), were very excited. They could enter free and played the whole day. They went on various slides, merry go rounds, minikarts, trampolines and had the best day of our holiday. Highly recommended with young kids.
Niek — Google review
I liked the park, it was fun and the day will fly by like crazy. There is rides for people with disabilities but not a right lot which is why I knocked a star off and not alot for wheelchair users. I liked the part and will go again. You can tell the animals there are also well looked after and fed which is very nice to see.
Lianne P — Google review
Nice park with well maintained decor. Lots of rides and activities for kids in the height range of 90 to 140cm. Specifically height, because that restricts the accessibility of the rides. It lacks the atmosphere of a park like Efteling, but we still spend a full day here!
Guido — Google review
We bought a season ticket, which they sell for such a reasonable price. Never too busy even during peak times. The light show was beautiful and they put so much effort into the Halloween decorations. Our Halloween obsessed boy was in heaven and has been asking to go back every day since.
Alexandra — Google review
My kids love this place more than Disneyland, Legoland, and Holiday Park (Plopsaland). It's a Theme Park and small zoo combined into 1. Bumper cars, trampolines, rodelbahn, roller coasters, log ride, ball pits, trapeze show, dog show, bear feeding... you name it, they probably have it. There is an amazing, large playground area that was a ghost town when we went likely because it's kind of tucked out of the way... but it's a fantastic play area with gobs of things to do and as a bonus, much if it is shaded. Most rides are catered for children 100+ cm tall but there are still plenty of things to do for smaller children. And besides, kids under 105cm are free! I highly recommend this place for families.

Amazing family-friendly park with a perfect mix of nature, wildlife, and fun rides! Eifelpark is a wonderful destination for both kids and adults. The animal enclosures are spacious and clean, and we really enjoyed watching the bears, wolves, and deer. The rides are fun and suitable for different ages — from little ones to teens. The views of the surrounding nature are beautiful, and the whole place is very well maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for a full day of fun and relaxation in nature!

For 10 eur a 1 hour tour and 2 beers at the end for tasting. The tour itself I thought was just OK. I've been on better. However it was informative and in English. Free parking at the building. Good gift shop also on site for memories. Recommend if in the area.

We hadn’t made a reservation but were kindly allowed to join an already fully booked tour. The tour itself, however, was incredibly dull. For an hour we were walked through endless facts about the brewing process. It felt like a route designed by an engineer, explaining every single detail step by step. Hardly engaging, and the reactions from the large group reflected that as well — we didn’t see anyone laugh during the entire tour. Things lightened up a bit during the tasting, after enjoying some of their tasty beer varieties.

Fun to experience. Especially with a price of 9 euro's which includes a tour and two beers. The entite tour is in german.. they have fun interactive rooms were the information the tourguide tells you in german is also written on in german.. why not write the english translation next to it so many other people can learn about the history as well. We had a dutch/ german tour guide. She could only do the tour in german due to time, so i lost alot of the information. (She was great tho!). At the end you can choose two beers to drink. Very tasty and fun. Also some fun souvenirs in a little shop. Do reccomend, but if you dont speak german you are going to miss all the information.

Did a guided tour, was a bit disappointing since it was only through a non working part of the brewery. The quality of the guide was good however. A bit of an overkill of movies explaining the brewery process. The tour lasts for one hour, followed by a beer tasting of 40 min (2 beers and 1 pretzel). 9€ per person.

You dont get to see actual Bitburger beer brewery, it is digital story of beer making process. It is still nice, but after beeing in Pilsner urquell brewery in Pilsen (CZ), other beer brewery tours feels less impressive. But- ticket is cheap, and 5 drinks are included in the price!!

Best air museum I've visited in a long time. Great collection of aircraft with some rare ones. All looked well looked after which you don't always see when kept outside. The only negative was food options which although was unique, being inside a Concorde, was great. It would have been good to read a bit about the history of each individual airframe but would recommend visiting for anyone in the area.

What an unexpected surprise...a huge aviation museum with lots and lots of aircraft to see close up. Historical jewels like the Ju-52, Comet, Il-18 or Super Connie, and rare helicopters like Mi-4 or the huge Mi-6 are among the museum's vast collection. You can grab a coffee and an apple cake in the Concorde caffee.

Great museum with lots of aircraft on display. It is a dedicated museum and for most people in Europe and 2-3 hours drive. Most aircraft are on display outside and if nice weather a good oppertunity for families to walk around. Sadly I could not pay with a bank card in the cafe...so with no cash with me..I could not order lunch😟
Mprophet100 — Google review
Lots of Russian aircraft. Engine display is quite extensive. I found the entrance fee of € 14 a bit steep, otherwise I would have given the place 5 stars. But, you can have a beer and lunch in a Concorde.
Grant P — Google review
This is a surprisingly large collection of aircraft, most of which are western-made fighter jets from the second half of the 20th century, as well as some passenger aircraft, helicopters, soviet aircraft and other related items. However, some of the aircraft aren't in great condition and they could be better maintainrd. Still reccomended for flight and aircraft enthusiasts, and probably will keep the children busy as well.
Alex J — Google review
Great selection of planes, helicopters, technology, flight gear and engines with detailed descriptions and all of that for a more than fair price. A place built up by a passionate person. Just be aware that the "Concorde", though imposing, is a replica being a "Concorde café", just in case you go there mainly for that bird. Anyway, I recommend this place to plane enthusiasts.

Porta Nigra

Mentioned on 
+127 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Porta Nigra, also known as the Black Gate, is a grand Roman gateway dating back to 180 AD. It is the largest monument of its kind in the north of Italy and serves as a natural starting point for exploring Trier. Despite several renovation projects over the years, its imposing size and unmissable Roman design have been retained. Visitors can walk through it and even go up into it to appreciate the detailed carvings and sheer size.
Beautiful day out in Trier where this historic gateway is found. A ride in the tourist train is a must ro see the main sights which are all accessible to walk within 20 min radius. Lovely bars and cafes in the square. The Cathedral is beautiful. Home of Karl Marx, his house is good to visit too alongside the amphitheatre, palace gardens and other beautiful buildings.

Absolutely beautiful! We parked in a structure not too far from here near city center. Look in my reviews for the location. This beautiful display of ancient architecture was very impressive. There is a great place to take a picture in front of the gate towards the main road. We just stood in awe!

It's a strange thing to find such Intact and extensive Roman ruins so far north in Europe! In many ways this building is better preserved than some of the buildings in Rome itself. Very informative interpretation, reasonably priced and presenting good views of the city!

Excellent landmark to visit in the middle of the delightful town of Trier. Museum offers a unique insight into local Roman and political history. Limited public conveniences and places to rest do reduce overall enjoyment, however there's many café options and restaurants nearby.
Emma B — Google review
Amazing site to see - not often you csn see Roman ruins from the 2nd century. Built from huge sandstone blocks, some weighing 6 tons - without modern machinery. The only one of the 4 original gates still standing, it was spared because it was used as a church. Massive structure in the center of town that should inspire awe. A remnant of a different age, when the Roman Empire ruled much of Europe.
Kevin C — Google review
I visited on a Tuesday late afternoon at around 1600. It is a very well preserved Roman building, where you could enter and walk up to the third floor of the building for a ticket of €5 (Student ticket). The explanation on the history of this building was very detailed and informative. 1 hour is well sufficient for a detailed visit for this landmark and learning its history. Overall, it is a fantastic experience to learn about the history of this area and I would definitely recommend people to visit.

Trier Cathedral

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Trier Saint Peter's Cathedral is a stunning blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and baroque architecture. The cathedral features a vaulted, fortress-style design that showcases a mix of artistic styles. Visitors can explore the Market Cross at its center, dating back to 958, and the St Peters Fountain adorned with allegorical figures representing cardinal virtues and playful monkeys. The exterior boasts unique decorations such as Madonnas, gold stars, water features, and oxen.

AMAECHI O — Google review
This was my first time visiting the Trier Cathedral (Trier Dom), and I was truly impressed by the grandeur and historical richness of the place. The architecture is breathtaking — a perfect blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles, reflecting over 1,700 years of history. The atmosphere inside is calm and spiritual. The high ceilings, ancient stone walls, and stained glass windows give a powerful sense of timelessness. It’s amazing to think this is the oldest cathedral in Germany, with parts dating back to Roman times. There’s also a lot to explore: the Holy Robe (Heiliger Rock), the crypt, and the quiet courtyards surrounding the complex. Entry is free, and there are brochures in multiple languages available for visitors. I highly recommend taking your time to sit quietly inside and soak in the peaceful environment. Whether you’re religious, interested in history, or just love beautiful architecture, the Trier Dom is a must-visit.
Ameer M — Google review
Trier Cathedral, old architecture marvel because it was built in a very old era. Beautiful historical structure with religious importance because of the holy robe. Last time it was displayed in 2012 to the public where large number of visitors came. To visit inside there are certain timings which changes from winter.

Amazing cathedral and architecture, with roots going bsck 1700 years to Roman occupation. Current structure from 13th century and stunning both inside and out. Free to enter, with several options inside to donate towards supporting the building. Hard to imagine how they built it without modern tools. The ceilings are well over 10 stories high, and they elaborate carvings and paintings are simply stunning!

There are many beautiful and breathtaking cathedrals across Germany and Europe but this one stands at the top with the best. While on the outside it may not appear as daunting or heavenly, inside is quite the opposite. What a breathtaking experience. Be sure to go down below to the catacombs and outside to the courtyard. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Trier.

Nestled in the heart of Trier, Hauptmarkt is a delightful central square that captures the essence of medieval charm. Surrounded by vibrantly painted buildings and traditional half-timbered houses, this picturesque market square offers stunning views of iconic landmarks like Porta Nigra and the Cathedral. It's a perfect spot for people-watching or enjoying a leisurely meal at one of the many cafes and restaurants that line its edges. The centerpiece, a beautiful fountain adorned with statues representing cardinal virtues, adds to its allure.

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Kaiserthermen, also known as the Imperial Baths, is a 1600-year-old Roman bath complex located in Trier. Built in the 3rd century by Emperor Constantine, these baths were intended as a gift to the city's inhabitants but were never completed. The remaining walls stand at an impressive 19 meters high and offer visitors a glimpse into the past.
This is such an easy place to stop by quickly and check out such a historical Roman ruin and it’s only a few euros to get in. You can see everything in less than an hour and it’s quite amazing to walk through the tunnels and see the historic remains at this active archaeological site. Definitely take the time to stop by and check this amazing place out.

Very amazing to walk in the tunnels underground. So crazy to think that the walls are almost a thousand years old. Very worthwhile to go visit.
Tammy L — Google review
This Roman ruin is surprisingly easily accessible considering its ticket price, less crowd, and close distance from the town center. Entrance is located at the Southern-west end of the palace garden. Walking through the underground isles makes you feel like you're exploring in dungeons. I brought my kids here and they really enjoyed walking here. The only disappointment is the minimal explanation available on site except the pamphlets you get at the entrance. However imagining how people would have used this place is also very fun. Similar ruins in southern Europe would be much more crowded, I presume. Nearby parking is easily accessible, too.

Ancient Ruins
Nestled to the east of the Imperial Baths, the Amphitheater of Trier is a remarkable historical site that dates back to between 160 and 200 AD. This ancient arena was primarily used for thrilling gladiator battles and public executions, offering a glimpse into the past's more dramatic spectacles. Exploring this fascinating structure feels like stepping back in time, and during my visit, it felt almost private—an experience not to be missed when wandering through Trier!
Such a cool piece of history. We practically had the place to ourselves. Definitely worth checking out when in Trier.

Restored, medieval castle on a prominent hilltop, housing collections of art & local history.
Depends on day and month entry is up to 16:00/17:00, partially paid areas of castle, huge parkings with free spaces. Small restaurant inside the castle, and great view around. Some small hiking trails around. Most common temporary exhibits on castle itself to be check on regular basis. Generally must see as not far away from Lux/De border with magnificent panorama when driving to it.

It is a pretty nice castle with nice surroundings. The exhibition was about the Olympics, I personally found that a bit less interesting.

Ouvrage Hackenberg Maginot Line Fortress

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Vast, fortified WWII complex with bomb launcher turrets, guns & underground train, for guided tours.
By far one of the most impressive exhibitions you can visit. The tour lasts around 2.5 hours and takes you through the 15km of tunnels in the bunker. Much of the infrastructure still works, and the tour guides are extremely knowledgeable. It's difficult to visit since it's so far from Thionville, but if you can make it here, it's an unforgettable experience costing only €15.
Daniel L — Google review
Very interesting site with an English speaking guide telling us detailed things about the place, its history, and even provided a demo of a mortar launcher used then (without the mortar obviously). The place is well preserved and has good exhibits. It involves quite some walking (the whole tour took at least 2.5hours plus waiting time) and a short train ride. It is also pretty cold (12 degrees Celsius) under ground so make sure to wear something warm. Overall, it was an enjoyable and good learning experience for our family. The only remark I had was the tour is supposed to start at 14.15 (regardless which language) and we were requested to arrive at 14hrs. The French speaking tour started 10min later than 14.15 but the English one only started after 14.30 and the German one even later. It would've been better if various timing is communicated for each language's group so that visitors don't have to queue and wait for over half an hour.

Our tour of Ouvrage Hackenberg was the outstanding highlight of a recent three day visit to the Champagne Region. If you have the ability reach this remote location it’s definitely a “must see”. The capacity of the English language tour is limited so it’s advisable to book in advance. It’s also advisable to wear warm clothing. Our informative and entertaining English volunteer guide has a thorough knowledge of the facility and its history. Paul did an excellent job guiding us around the extensive labyrinth of tunnels that included a one kilometre ride on an original electric train to an outlying gun position. It’s a great credit to this team of volunteers that they are able to maintain this facility and keep so much of the original equipment in working condition.

Very interesting place to visit, it's entertaining all around the year. You need to take some warm clothes, even in summer.

Well this is certainly a tourist attraction with a difference. 'Attraction' may not be the correct word to use, but it is certainly a location that should be visited, if only to help some of those misguided individuals on our planet that seem to feel that war is the best way to accomplish their depraved goals. Taking the tour, and with a little imagination, you will get to understand some of horrors of what life was like for those who have experience war first hand, and get to see some of the remarkable infrastructure that was put in place underground, not just in this fortress, but also in many others in this part of France. The visit is fully guided and is progressive along an underground facility. It takes upwards of three hours, so be prepared for that. It is however, a truly must-see experience.

The entire area in front is designed as a picnic area. (Original) Der Bunker ist leider nur an bestimmten Tagen geöffnet. Man jedoch außen herum laufen und die Front der Bunker betrachten.

Outdoor Activities
Zoo d'Amnéville is a captivating independent zoo that houses approximately 2,000 animals from five continents. The zoo offers unique attractions such as the medieval-style falconry show and various themed areas like the African plain where elephants, white rhinoceroses, giraffes, zebras, and other species coexist. Visitors can also explore the lush Amazon Jungle with its diverse wildlife and a stunning 9-meter waterfall.
Great zoo, beautiful setting and lots of animals. Great parking and accessibility. Really beautiful place to go with or without children. The only thing to be aware of is that most restaurants inside seems to be closed, so you will only be able to buy anything to eat or drink in a few places. Not ideal and not many options available. That being said, it is amazing overall.

Super place, if weather is ok, and you have children - this is kind of place which you can spent whole day and it will not be enough! I was thinking what are the tickets for 2 days and yearly access to zoo?! And being there for 5h we saw 50% of all attractions prepared for visitors. Bad for Animals but perfect for visitors is that places for animals are not enormous- so you are able to see cats, wolfs, birds and any kind of animals. It’s a balance between safe place and attractions for visitors. HIGLY RECOMMENDED

We had a great experience visiting Zoo Amnéville! There are so many animals to see — lions, tigers, polar bears, rhinos, hippos, and many more. It was amazing to watch them all from such a close distance. This was the first time I’ve seen a lion so close, and it was truly an exciting experience for all of us. We really enjoyed our visit and appreciated how well the animals are cared for. It’s a wonderful place for families and animal lovers — highly recommended!

Amazing zoo, beautiful animals and very touchy. I was hugging a goat at one point lol. I would also touch more animals if I wasn't that scared lmao. 8/10 (wish it was less expensive, for two adults and one child we payed 100 euro, but if they need money to keep the animals healthy then I don't really mind)
Pol I — Google review
The zoo was a delightful experience, offering a diverse array of animals, and our visit lasted approximately five hours. Regrettably, we were unable to observe some of the animals, as they were taking shelter. The animals appeared quite relaxed, possibly due to the warm weather. We were fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the red panda. The Jurassic section proved to be particularly enjoyable for the children. While I cannot comment on the quality of the park's food, as we did not purchase any based on recommendations from friends and other reviews, it is worth noting that some areas of the park could be cleaner, and the presence of standing water in certain locations resulted in an unpleasant odor. Nevertheless, it is certainly a worthwhile destination if you happen to be in the vicinity.

I have an annual pass and it has been such fun to visit the zoo at different times of the year! It’s very kids friendly . Great place to take kids out, short walk or a full-day out. My baby likes observing all the animals. We watched polar bear Henk and Akoia fighting, a vulture trying to open our bag during his performance , kids feeding giraffes leaves, gorillas climbing up the to get bananas, penguins chasing a butterfly… many cherished moments. The staffs are always friendly. Hope there would be more different animations. Will renew the pass definitely.

Great park, a lot of animals. Make sure to take foods with you (especially if you have allergies) because food places closes at 14h. After that only icecream available. It’s better to start as early as possible, as we arrived at 12h at it was just enough time to see everything (we were 4 adults, so we were walking pretty fast everywhere). Animals look pretty looked after, in between areas there are enough benches, rubbish bins, toilets. Would come back again in future.

Spa
Spas & Wellness
Villa Pompéi Amnéville is part of a cluster of thermal centers in the city, offering visitors a range of relaxation options. The facility provides a serene and luxurious spa experience, with immaculate facilities that make it an ideal escape for unwinding. Visitors can enjoy clean, warm waters in a surprisingly uncrowded environment. Additionally, the center offers various wellness and leisure activities.
Nice relaxing experience. Unfortunately, a couple of decorative items need fixing, and the infrared cabin is missing, as are more heated stones on which to lie. Adding a relaxation room and a small restaurant would elevate it to a five-star establishment.

The staff at the reception and in the massage area are absolutely wonderful and friendly. The place, however, offers average options, not spacious, and the massage services are not very professional (disappointing masseuses capacity). The outdoor area was nice outside at night. It's not the best place in Belgium but not the worst either.

Metz Cathedral

Mentioned on 
45 lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Metz Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Saint Stephen, is a breathtaking Gothic masterpiece nestled in Metz, France. This architectural gem was constructed over several centuries, from the 13th to the 16th century, showcasing a captivating blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles. Its most striking feature is its vast array of stained glass windows that span an astonishing 6,500 square meters—making it one of the largest collections in any church across France.
One of the most beautiful cathedrals I’ve ever visited. The stained glass windows are incredible, especially the ones by Chagall – they really stand out. The cathedral is huge and full of light, and you can feel the history as soon as you walk in. It’s free to enter, which is great, and it’s right in the centre of Metz so it’s easy to visit while walking around the old town. Definitely worth seeing if you’re in Metz, even just to sit inside for a few minutes and take in the atmosphere.
Kinan R — Google review
One of the most amazing cathedrals in France! When you stand in front of Metz Cathedral, you feel small and full of wonder. The golden stone shines in the sun, and the tall towers seem to touch the sky. Inside, the light is mystical. The stained-glass windows are not only from the Middle Ages but also modern, even by Chagall. They make the walls look alive with colors. It has the highest nave in France (41 meters), higher than Notre-Dame in Paris. It is called the “Lantern of God” because of more than 6,000 m² of stained glass.People say that at sunset, the golden stone creates an atmosphere that feels almost supernatural. This place is not just history. It is an experience. If you visit Metz, you cannot miss it.

Walking into Metz Cathedral - if you’re not exactly used to walking into thousand year old cathedrals - will leave you speechless, overwhelmed, and possibly teary eyed. It’s an astonishing edifice and on a sunny day the interior dances and glimmers with light and colour from the 1000s of panes of glass. You also have to appreciate and respect that this building is in active and daily use, so please - please - remain silent as you slowly wander the perimeter to marvel at the wonder of just how this building came to be, and the architectural miracle it is.
Greg M — Google review
We visited the Metz Cathedral with a specific goal — to see the stained glass windows created by Marc Chagall, since Chagall was our compatriot, also from Belarus. The cathedral itself is magnificent, and the stained glass windows are absolutely mesmerizing. The light filtering through the colorful glass creates a magical effect — the patterns and colors evoke feelings that are simply beyond words. We couldn’t imagine anything that could make the experience even better, but while we were there, an organ concert began, and it turned the visit into something truly unforgettable. The combination of the music, the stained glass, and the atmosphere was enchanting. Since it all happened during the Christmas markets and holiday season, it became one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring experiences we’ve ever had.
Maryna K — Google review
Incredible cathedral in size, artistry, detail, and use of colors! Huge volume of space under immensely high ceilings and arches! Photos and video really don't do it justice.. The audio echoes and booms here. The richness of the murals, paintings, stained glass, and sculptures are mind-blowing! Definitely a must-see! No entrance fee, though parking is not free and space is limited. Public restrooms are across the street and are free, though not very clean; while there are urinals, there are no toilets, just holes in the ground.

It is very beautiful from the outside, but much more beautiful inside! This is one of the tallest, most beautiful and majestic cathedrals I have ever seen. If not the most! Its stained glass windows are simply incomparable. In such a place you feel some elusive magic, especially with the sounds of the organ.

The Metz Cathedral is absolutely stunning. Its Gothic architecture and level of detail make it one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Europe. Inside, the enormous stained-glass windows — some of the largest in the world — create a magical atmosphere with the natural light. Walking through feels like a journey through history, with glasswork ranging from the 13th century to modern pieces by artists like Marc Chagall. The exterior is just as impressive, with intricate sculptures and an imposing presence right in the heart of the city. Take your time to explore every detail, and if possible, join a guided tour to fully appreciate its history and symbolism. Definitely a must-see when visiting Metz.

Museums
The Centre Pompidou-Metz, a modern arts center located in Metz, is a futuristic building with an undulating roof designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban. It is a satellite branch of the Pompidou Centre in Paris and features ambitious temporary exhibitions from Europe's largest modern-art collection. The center hosts cultural events, talks, and youth projects, making it a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts.
Centre Pompidou-Metz is a really cool spot in Metz with some unforgettable architecture—like the entrance that looks kinda like 😂, which made me chuckle. Inside, the art is just as interesting. My favorite was this elephant sculpture wrapped in white cloth—it was super striking. There wasn’t one main theme that grabbed me, but there was a good mix of contemporary art to check out. The staff were nice, and I liked that all the art info was in both English and French, which helps tourists a lot. I’d definitely recommend it to friends and family, especially if they’re into art. The unique building, varied exhibits, and friendly vibe make it worth a visit.
Krunal T — Google review
Definitely an amazing place! The architecture of the space is charming and makes the visit feel special. The artworks are interesting, modern, and very diverse. However, some of the pieces deal with sensitive topics in a very visual and direct way and I believe they should be labeled with a trigger warning. It’s not always suitable for sensitive audiences. Still, it’s a unique experience…
Sabina C — Google review
The art will make you angry (it’s a banana. Taped to the wall ffs.) but you know what? Good art should make you feel something, and there’s some very very good art here. Of course there is. The building itself is a breathtaking masterpiece as well, with well laid out and inventive gallery spaces, and all the amenities and accoutrements you’d expect from a world class institution. Excellent restaurant. Clean washrooms. And you didn’t hear it from me, but if you’re stuck for luggage storage waiting for your train, you can walk right in and store your bags for a euro. And you don’t even have to go into the museum ! Just go - it’s one of Metz’s main attractions.
Greg M — Google review
The architecture of the Centre Pompidou alone is worth the visit – bold, elegant, and full of light. I explored two unforgettable exhibitions: Maurizio Cattelan’s ironic, provocative works and Marina Abramović’s participative experience “Counting the Rise.” Although I didn’t have enough time to take part in the participatory tasks set up in Abramović’s exhibition space, I still found the concept inspiring and thought-provoking. The atmosphere invites deep reflection and engagement with the human experience. In addition, on the second floor, visitors can discover works by over 40 international contemporary artists – a diverse and fascinating collection that adds even more depth and colour to the visit. You should definitely plan to spend a few hours or more to fully appreciate everything. An inspiring blend of architecture, performance, and contemporary art – highly recommended!

The Metz outpost of the famous Parisian contemporary art museum does not disappoint! The architecture is interesting and the exhibits are first class.

Very highly recommended!

This branch of the Pompidou modern art museum in Paris was opened in 2010. It is much more manageable than the main branch in Paris and the art is absolutely amazing. A 20 minute walk from the historic center of Metz. Or take the MA or MB bus using the ticket machines at most major stops. Highly recommend a 2-3 hour visit.

Metz is a city with a rich history and stunning architecture. The Metz station and the Imperial Quarter are remnants of the German era, showcasing impressive Neo-Roman style buildings that were part of William II's efforts to modernize the city. The 300-meter-long Gare de Metz, completed in 1908, is an architectural marvel with the Emperor's apartments and reception pavilion. It has been recognized as one of France's most beautiful train stations multiple times.
Even if you are not planning on traveling out of this train station, you should definitely stop by and admire the work of art that is Gare de Metz! Ranked as the most beautiful train station throughout France, the Gare features a beautiful Romanesque architecture and is in a very central location.

The station in Metz was a central point of plans for a new urban area in Metz, now called the Imperial Quarter, which was built during the first annexation of Metz into the German Empire. In order to "Germanify" the city, Kaiser Wilhelm II decided upon the creation of a new district shaped by a distinctive blend of Germanic architecture. The district was conceived by German architect Conrad Wahn and is now commonly called the Imperial District. The railway station constitutes the cornerstone of this district, not far from the historic downtown. Its first aim was military usage[citation needed] and it had to answer a strategic need: For the success of the Schlieffen plan, the Kaiser had to be able to transport his troops from France to Russia in just 24 hours. This resulted in a sizeable station with platforms large enough to accommodate troops on foot and on horseback. So the Metz railway station was directly linked to Berlin via the Cannons Railway.

(Translated by Google) The journey was strenuous due to many detours. Vic-sur-Seille is a sleepy, nice little town. The museum is architecturally interesting, the presentation of the pictures is good, the staff is very friendly, and the entrance fee (€5) is reasonable. The quality of the paintings varies, but their number is manageable (there are exactly two by de la Tour). A nice excursion for relaxed art enthusiasts. (Original) Die Anreise war wegen vieler Umleitungen anstrengend. Vic-sur-Seille ist ein verschlafenes, nettes Kleinstädtchen.

(Translated by Google) Pretty and rich museum which takes its name from the most famous painter of the 17th century, Georges de la Tour, born in Vic sur Seille. The most notable work is the painting "Saint John the Baptist in the Desert" painted by de la Tour. Thanks to the donation from Messrs. Jacques and Guy Thuillier, the museum has a very fine collection of works ranging from the 17th to the 20th century: Charles le Brun, Jacques Blanchard, Camille Corot, Eugène Isabey, Charles Lacoste, Léon Bonnat... Friendly and warm welcome! Great discovery. (Original) Joli et riche musée qui tient son nom du plus célèbre des peintres du XVII siècle, Georges de la Tour, né à Vic sur Seille.

Abbaye Des Prémontrés is a hotel located in a serene riverside abbey dating back to 1705. Situated in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department, it offers a joyful and welcoming atmosphere for celebrating weddings. The hotel is close to the Lorraine Regional Natural Park, making it an ideal location for nature lovers and hikers. Guests have praised the friendly staff, spacious and quiet rooms, as well as the beautiful architecture of the building.
Stunning location in an incredible historic building in the centre of beautiful Pont A Mousson on the Moselle River but lots of free parking just over the road. Rooms are comfortable and practical but not sharing or reflecting the historic nature of the building. Enjoyed our stay. Didn't take breakfast (€15) because there are numerous fantastic patisseries in the town.

The place is old. And degraded. Which is quite ironic. Because it is quite new. It seems that it was destroyed during the Second World War, and reconstructed later. But it is not nicely kept. The windows are dirty. There is a slight touch of medieval, with the monks living in the big house, and the caravans of the travellers installed outside, at a good distance. The people are nice, nothing to argue about it. But the rest is weird. The rooms are not that big. And not that cheap. In a coleague's room the handle of the toilet door was broken and I was left with the handle in my hand. And all levers that open the windows make a terrible noise because nobody cares to grease them and maintain the place. The room was a bit cold. And the fancy thermostat was ready to change temperatures at will and with zero effect. Later I have noticed there was a triangle with an exclamation mark on the display, probably wanting to tell me there is no point in playing with it. The fast less fancy thermostat in the shower room was not even powering up. The water was warm, thank you. The toilet was also strange. Both in my case and in the case of my friend, the toilet had only two rolls of paper. There is a 24h reception desk so I guess one could call for toilet paper, yet in the case of my friend's room the phone was dead, so one would have to dress up to get the toilet paper. Even more interesting, in both toilets the toilet paper was used up. I guess the hotel has a contract with the sole toilet paper factory that delivers partly used toilet paper rolls, or else I simply can't explain why in two toilets there was not a single new, unused roll. Also, be careful, as the place is quite large and it can mean a lot of walking, which if you have luggage can be unpleasant. The platform next to the elevator was very degraded. It looked older than the place. And very dirty. So I think you should take your luggage with you. Also, it seems that the strange and rather dirty elevator only goes from the double zero floor (funny numbering) through the zero floor, to the first floor. To reach the second floor one needs to take the large spiral staircase. I was lucky to travel light. In the room there is a small electric kettle to heat up the water. And some cheap tea / coffee, everything counted, just radiating petty and cheap. There is no safe in the room. There is no minibar in the room. Or anything to keep something cold. There is barely enough storage space for a person during an overnight stay, when the room is sold with two beds. The hotel parking is 10e/night, even if the printed paper in the room specifies it is 8e/night. I guess the paper is from another era as well. There is some parking right in front of the only entrance, but each evening it was full, so I had to seek out a parking spot in the nearby streets, and I felt so bad for taking the parking spots of those houses. So despite the nice people, the experience was bad. Not very bad. Just plain bad. And the whole experience left a bitter taste of exploitation. All those people who went hungry so the monks would have a big, impressive home to crush the spirit of those who visited their church. Than the place was bombed. Than more people had to give up their wealth so this ugly, souless place be built again, and left to degrade. If it wasn't for the depressing story of cold and poverty, I would have given two stars.

Very nice building. Stunning medieval architecture and partly well kept gardens. However, the hotel part where I stayed in is not really top. Rooms are clean but cheaply decorated and outdated. Above all very noise. Two very small single beds in a double room. Hallways are not very well illuminated on the way to the room, at least on second floor. The curtains do not darken the room very well. Woke up at 5 because of the daylight in the room with curtains fully closed. No air-conditioning in rooms. After request I was given a ventilator. Rooms not in line with the requested price and the prestige and atmosphere of the building. All in all a mixed experience.

Exceptionally friendly and very qualified staff. Exceptional clerical building atmosphere. Rooms are spacious and very quiet (real walls!). Breakfast choice could be improved. But I highly recommend to stay there as it is probably the best choice in the town, and it is an unusual building in a remarkably outstanding setting. A lot of families stay there as well, but as the building is well built, also as single traveler you dont get disturbed.

Place Stanislas is a stunning neoclassical square in Nancy, France, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Designed by Emmanuel Here in the 1750s, this grand space is named after the enlightened Duke of Lorraine and features his statue at its center. Surrounded by elegant 18th-century buildings like the Opera National de Lorraine and the City Hall, visitors can admire exquisite gilded gates crafted by Jean Lamour and beautiful rococo fountains designed by Guibal.
A truly impressive square with royal charm! Place Stanislas in Nancy is an architectural gem – spacious, elegant, and full of history. The golden gates, fountains, and classical buildings create a grand and welcoming atmosphere. Cafés, museums, and the town hall are located right on the square – a perfect place to soak in the charm of Nancy. Some buildings around the square are currently under renovation, but this doesn’t take away from the overall experience. A must-see when visiting Nancy!

Visitors can also explore the city's charming old town with its cobblestone streets and half-timbered houses.
Visiting the Museum of Fine Arts in Nancy was an unforgettable experience. The incredible collection, especially the works of the Impressionists, is simply mesmerizing! The paintings captivate with their play of light, colors, and emotions, transporting you right into the heart of the era. It’s amazing how this museum preserves artworks that tell an entire story. This place inspires you and leaves you wanting to return again and again.

There is a great special exhibit on the history of graffiti. There are also works by Yayoi Kusama which are also amazing. There are paintings by Perugin, Rubens, Caravaggio, Emile Friant and many others. Simply an outstanding museum located right on the Place Stanislas. Not to be missed.

Really impressive museum with a lot of amazing pieces and an incredible vase collection. Was a lot of fun to visit. Prices were (as of July 2023) Free for students or till age 26. From 27 it costs 10 euros a person.

While the artworks themselves are exceptional and the architectural interior is impressive (plus there are many comfortable seats!), I found the exhibition flow a bit confusing. The sequence felt somewhat disjointed without a clearly suggested route to follow.

Variety is the spice of life and so is this museum. For every style of art there is a painting or object in this museum. The art ranges from the European middle ages through to the modern era, with an Asian art section and a Jewish art section. What I found exciting is the layout of the floors. It isn't just square rooms with art on the walls... It has nooks and crannies that entice you to explore the whole building. This gives the visitor some unexpected suprises in discovering new, unexpected spaces and art. In the basement is an ancient wall that was found through archaeological digs, with a huge Daum, art nouveau glass and art deco glass vases up through until modern times. It was a pleasure for the eyes as the collection is colorful and quite extensive. Throughout the building there are some English translations about, art but it is limited. I would suggest using a Google Lens with translation feature if you aren't fluent in reading French. There is also a museum app that is used for an audiotour, but i didn't use it. Highly recommended if visiting Nancy.

An eclectic museum with paintings from grandmasters as well as French and other artists. Also decorative glasswork from Daum. And some contemporary exhibitions. Well worth visiting.

Interesting museum with lots of exhibits. It's bigger than it looks. We liked the Infinity Mirror room. The museum entry was free due to the heat wave conditions but it is good value at €10.

Museums
The Musée de l'École de Nancy is a former collector's home and garden that showcases art nouveau furniture and craft pieces by members of the school. Located in the historic center of Nancy, it is surrounded by notable attractions such as Place Stanislas, Parc de la Pepiniere, the ducal palace, and the Fine Arts museum with its impressive collection of Daum crystal.
Wow! A fantastic collection of furniture and beautiful windows. Resting in the garden on a very hot day was very welcome. We did the self guided walking tour, then this museum and then Villa Majorelle. Get the joint ticket for the museum & villa as it's a bit cheaper. Small shop where you can purchase postcards, jigsaws etc.

An amazing art nouveau collection of furniture, stained glass, and rooms with carved and curved panelling. Mosaic flooring. Exquisite carpentry skills in every room. The garden has another round building with an aquarium which looked amazing from the outside.

Excellent and highly specialized collection in local art nouveau. A bit amateurish in museum management so far, so it's not yet a broad international destination. Descriptions are bilingual at times, solely in French often -- international tourists struggled. The gift shop could have a lot more on art nouveau. Some of the descriptions are inside rooms that we can't walk into so it's hard to read. The staff was very publicly complaining about their jobs. I see it as having strong potential but needing a more professional management.

Nancy was an important city in the art nouveau movement in the late nineteenth century. The museum contains extensive glass, ceramic and furniture work by Emile Galle, a leader of this new art in Nancy. There are also works by Jacques Gruber and others. This is an amazing museum. Highly recommended.

Free for students when card is presented and, due to interventions in the house, the normal price is 5€. I really recommend for Art Nouveau lovers, it’s a well kept house fully furnished. It’s not a huge space so your visit might be quick. The garden is really beautiful in spring.

Wonderful collection of one man which showcases the artistry of designers in the Nancy area during the Belle Epoque.

This museum is a home dedicated to Art Nouveau and was the home of collector Eugene Corbin. It’s beautifully presented with very helpful staff. They have an amazing collection of works and it’s very inspiring. There was an on going work during our visit. This is not a wheelchair accessible museum. However, I think it is best to switch the entrance and exit points because all that inspiration has no outlet, just the streets. The visitors should go in that small side door, go through the collection and get inspired then come out to the garden (hopefully a cafe and a shop for souvenirs). I was disappointed there weren’t any souvenirs to buy. It would’ve been nice to have a fridge magnet, tote, tea towel a replica or an art nouveau inspired jewellery to bring back. Maybe a book or two as well. This and Villa Majorelle are within 10minutes walk, so I recommend visiting the Musee de L’ecole de Nancy in the morning then Villa Majorelle in the afternoon. You can buy combined ticket for both places for 9€

Really beautiful castle! The tour was entirely in French with no papers to read so we missed basically anything about the castle while there, but the rooms were stunning to look at. The castle grounds were very overgrown and not taken care of so just be aware if you’re expecting a leisurely walk afterwards. The playground opposite the castle was a highlight for our kids for a picnic lunch

Nice palace. But working hours not suitable for tourists. Just few dalys per week and only for big groups... O

Great. Only sad they don't have a real English speaker around the building. Edit: Thanks and otherwise strange response. Based on what ruling. I deleted, but sad that you don't allow to show your history. I deleted all asked pictures. Also - 1 star for your question

(Translated by Google) We came to see the artisans working the glass but what a disappointment. Two people who work without saying hello but who look at us like curious animals. I have already come several times but the atmosphere was not the same. So yes I am disappointed even if I know the trade very well since friends of my parents were glassblowers in Montreuil in the Paris region. It is really a shame. Fortunately the shop is worth the detour. You can leave with pretty glasses for 2€ with a slight defect certainly but Made in France. Just for this reason I give 3 stars. (Original) Nous sommes venus pour voir les artisans travailler le verre mais quelle déception. Deux personnes qui travaillent sans dire bonjour mais qui nous regarde comme des bêtes curieuses. Je suis déjà venu à plusieurs reprises mais l'ambiance n'était pas la même. Alors oui je suis déçu même si je connais très bien le métier puisque des amis à mes parents étaient souffleur de verre à Montreuil en région parisienne. C'est vraiment dommage. Heureusement que la boutique vaut le détour. Vous pouvez partir avec de jolis verres pour 2€ avec un léger défaut certes mais Made in France. Juste pour cette raison que je met 3 étoiles.

(Translated by Google) A great visit. I came with my niece, who is captivated by this craft. The young woman and man who worked there took the time to explain the machines and how to make a vase while they worked. They were really friendly and kind. We fell in love with this crystal shop. Thank you, you made someone happy. And the shop is large and well-stocked. We will definitely come back. (Original) Une super visite, je suis venue avec ma nièce qui est captivée par ce métier. La jeune femme et le jeune homme qui travaillaient ont pris le temps de lui expliquer les machines et comment faire pour obtenir un vase tout en travaillant. Ils étaient vraiment sympathiques et gentils. Nous avons eu un coup de coeur pour cette cristallerie. Merci vous avez fait une heureuse. Et la boutique est grande et bien achalandée. Nous reviendrons sans hésitations.

(Translated by Google) A factory where glass is made and a small part where glass is still blown by hand. Nice to see. The shop has a wide assortment of glass. Missed a bit of the artistic objects. But that is perhaps my taste. (Original) Een fabriek waar glas wordt gemaakt en een klein gedeelte waar nog handmatig glas wordt geblazen. Leuk om te zien. De winkel heeft een ruime sortering van glas. Miste een beetje de kunstzinnige voorwerpen. Maar dat is mischien mijn smaak.

(Translated by Google) No on-site visit but order via the website. Not disappointed with my order, which arrived well packaged and quickly. Beautifully made and original (fleurs-de-lis). I had already purchased the bee collection via Maison du Monde. Long live French craftsmanship! (Original) Pas de visite sur place mais commande via le site internet. Pas déçue de ma commande arrivée bien emballée et rapidement. Belle fabrication et originale(fleurs de lys). J'avais déjà acheté la collection abeille via maison du monde. Vive l'artisanat français!

(Translated by Google) Rainy day, we decide to visit this crystal factory. What a discovery!!! Visit of the Japanese garden, then that of the workshop with the glassblowers who are available to give explanations about their art. My 3 year old daughter was amazed. Then we go to the shop and it is the cave of Ali Baba. It is beautiful, large, choice and not expensive. Bravo to you. (Original) Jour de pluie, nous décidons de visiter cette cristallerie. Quelle découverte !!! Visite du jardin japonais, puis celle de l atelier avec les souffleurs de verre qui sont disponibles pour donner des explications sur leur art. Ma fille de 3 ans était ebahie. Puis on se rend dans la boutique et c est la caverne d Ali Baba. C est beau, grand, du choix et pour pas cher. Bravo à vous.

(Translated by Google) Pleasant visit and store with a wide selection. However, when it came time to pay, I was surprised to learn that American Express cards weren't accepted, even though they display the logo stating they do at the store entrance. It's not a problem if you don't accept this type of card, but in this case, don't display the opposite. Furthermore, the cashier wasn't exactly friendly: "Well, we don't accept them anymore (sighs)." It's a shame, the rest is pretty good... (Original) Visite agréable et boutique avec un large choix. En revanche au moment de payer, surpris d’apprendre que les cartes American Express n’étaient pas prises alors qu’ils affichent le logo comme quoi ils les prennent à l’entrée du magasin. Que vous ne preniez pas ce type de carte n’est pas un soucis mais dans ce cas n’affichez pas pas l’inverse. De plus la caissière n’a pas été franchement d’une grande amabilité : «  bah c’est qu’on les prend plus (soupire) » Dommage le reste est pourtant bien…
