Wow! Fantastic experience! You could easily spend the whole day at the park. There are number of trails leading around the lakes and under the waterfalls. Every part of it looks do beautiful. The water is extremely clean and the colours vary from light blue to turquoise green. It’s a must go destination in Croatia

Absolutely stunning nature, I felt like I was wandering through the loveliest dream. Aside from the obvious, the forest itself is incredibly beautiful, soft, nurturing, with ivy covered trees, moss adorned rocks, and colorful leaves blanketing the forest floor. I highly recommend coming in mid to late October for the fall foliage, it imbues a mystical quality to this already enchanted place.

Very beautiful park and easy to access. We was lucky to get 2 versions of the scenery. We came late on day 1 (17 Nov), so we decided to revisit in the next day. There was significant snow and the scenery had changed. Although we couldn't go to your lakes due to the weather, the scenery in lower lakes was fantastic.

Such a beautiful serene environment, walking on the trails did get a bit busy at times but once you're in its amazing to see little pockets of natural beauty, clear waters, different varieties of fish, plants and many jaw dropping waterfalls, too many to count. I would highly recommend for anyone visiting Croatia.

This park is really fantastic. We were here for two days. Walked about 30 km. Some areas quite busy (great waterfall). If possible i recommend an early start to avoid the tourists coming in by busloads. The lakes are great and everything is remarkably clean. We had a great time, highlight of our trip to Croatia.

It's no wonder the Plitvice Lakes are called Croatia's main attraction. It's a vast and incredibly beautiful national park. We visited in the summer, so everything was blooming and green. The park's highlight is the many waterfalls it has. Here, the waterfalls resemble delicate lace, an exquisite interplay of streams and intertwining water flows - there waterfalls upon waterfalls. If you're in Croatia, don't miss the opportunity to admire this spectacle! Some of the hiking trails will easily last a few hours, so prepare to spend a full day here.

Great planning in the national park, with bus and boat inclusive with the ticket which is unbelievable at this kind of world-famous tourist spot. Experienced route H, spent around 5 hours and quite easy to walk, thanks for the bus taking us uphill and start at the top with over 80% of the journey are downhill. Fall season should be promoted more, the view is amazing, weather is comfortable but obviously there are not many visitors during Oct.

Just FYI! These pictures are from the War Museum, which is 4 MINS driving from this specific location, don’t get confused! Not the best indicated, a bit confusing and less information than expected. If you drive to this specific location/building, you will not be able to enter. To go to the War Museum drive further in that road and then turn to the right when you see it indicated.

Beautiful and moving site which gives insight into the history surrounding the founding of the Turkish Republic. One of the most impactful locations on the Gallipoli peninsula.

The size of this park in terms of territory and how the people of Turkey have kept history alive is truly impressive. Moreover, the cleanliness and maintenance of all monuments deserves admiration. Can really meet global criteria. It’s definitely worth the visit but give yourself at least two or three days if you want to see everything. Also beware of turtles! 🐢☺️

Great time spent here. Moment of reflection for the legendaries, braveries and patriotism of a people led by the strong faith in their heart and readiness to sacrifice their lives and souls for the future of only their people but all the marginalised and underprivileged people of the world. This peninsula witnessed a war where all the odds were against the Turks but their faith and bravery won them a legend unequalled anywhere in the history of the world.

It is a great location in the history of WW1 and Turkish history as well. It can be done on a single day from Istanbul. The presence of a good guide I think is essential, since it is difficult to be appraised of the entire history of events or their significance.

I lived in Australia and New Zealand for a few years and Gallipoli is almost a founding myth in those respective countries. It was fascinating to come here and see the place and battle(s) I heard so much about. What was really interesting was also to see it from Ottoman/Turkish perspective. What's amazing about the whole complex is how the winning side the Turks have almost dedicated it to losing side renaming the landing area to Anzac cove etc. I can't think of anywhere else where such a thing has happened. I did a tour which you almost have to do. It's a big site so walking and local buses are not a realistic prospect. It was really hot so bring water and sunscreen but most of all if you have heard of Gallipoli and have any interest in it absolutely worth a visit.

The trip of my life! I wanted to visit the gallipoli peninsula all my life. Now that I got here and I attended a tour program I get to learn all that I wanted to learn first handedly. The weather is good but could be better. So maybe later in May or even June is better timing for the Gallipoli visit. The tour costs only ₺70 per person lunch included.

Visiting the Selimiye Mosque in Edirne was an unforgettable experience for me. Designed by the famous Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan, it’s considered his masterpiece, and I can definitely see why. The massive central dome and the perfectly balanced proportions of the structure are absolutely breathtaking. I was especially amazed by the intricate tile work and the sense of space and light inside the mosque—it feels both grand and peaceful at the same time. Knowing that Sinan built it when he was in his 80s makes it even more impressive. It’s not just a religious site, but also a symbol of artistic and architectural brilliance.

A great mosque, but unfortunately, when I went to visit, most of it was closed because they were working on restoration! Anyway, if you’re around Edirne, you should definitely visit it and see what the great Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan was able to design. From my perspective, this mosque is a must-visit!

Selimiye Mosque is one of Edirne’s most important iconic attraction. It was build in the 15th Century, unfortunately during our visit, Mosque is under restoration ,scheduled to complete by 2025. However we did have a good tour inside . It is beautiful, was selected as UNESCO World heritage site in 2011 Selimiye is a vast and striking Ottoman imperial mosque. It has a grand dome, accompanied by 4nos. 71m-tall beautiful slender minarets under the sky (2 of which are under restoration) For visitors, be sure to follow the customs, remove your shoes before stepping on the carpet to enter, wear clothes that covers your shoulders & knees and women must wear a headscarf. We had great time exploring inside , indeed an architectural masterpiece with ceiling adorned with floral iznik tiles and especially for its big open space enchanced by its colorful floral carpet. A must see if you are ever in Edirne !!!!

Its a beautiful mosque but right now its under major renovation. Only small portion of mosque is open for tourists.

August 1978: from Pavia to Istanbul, entering Turkey from Greece at Edirne, the ancient Adrianople. The Commander of the Turkish border post, very kind, offered us tea and gave us precious directions for the continuation of the journey. We visited the Mosque, wonderful, we listened to the songs and prayers of the Muezzin. And then off, towards Istanbul. We were, for those times, in a distant country, beautiful and very different from Italy, but we never felt like foreigners.

Can't say much. Another mosque that is being renovated. Maybe I've seen to many but lots of people were visiting.

Just a beautiful place. Hope to come back when the construction site will be completed

Beautiful small monastery. Excellent traditional eateries around it. It was a hot day in Plovdiv, but pleasant at the higher elevation at the site. 4 BGN to park right outside the walls and avoid the uphill walk from lower lots. It is probably hard to do this on busy days.

Hi there! We visited this wonderful monastery and we enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the “Vecernia”(around 6 p.m). Located ~ two hours away from Sofia, it is attracting many pilgrims and it’s worth visiting also for its unique architecture and painting - typical of Eastern Orthodox culture. Bachkovo Monastery has at least two other church buildings in addition to its main one, its own museum and later on we discovered that it preserves a significant ossuary which can be reached in a few hundred meters away from it… So, are you ready to visit one of the oldest monasteries on the Balkan Peninsula, still active (with monks) and the 2nd largest in Bulgaria? :)✌🏻

Beautiful location, would have been 5 stars but the museum and some of the other rooms were still closed at 9:45am and no one was sure what time they were meant to open so didn't get to see everything I'd hoped. Well worth the journey anyway though.

Here, nestled in the Rhodope mountains, the Bachkovo Monastery of the Dormition of the Theotokos stands as a moving testament to religious tolerance and historical continuity. Founded in 1083, it has welcomed different cultures, survived invasion and change, and still welcomes visitors of all faiths to reflect, pray or simply pause. The stone walls, the quiet courtyards and the rich frescoes speak of an era when different traditions—Byzantine, Georgian, Bulgarian—and yes, even Ottoman-era coexistence left their mark. It is a place that encourages respect, contemplation and the freedom to worship in one’s own way. A truly beautiful and humbling site.

A sanctuary of peacefulness. Some fantastic frescoes. We ate at one of the eateries on the street leading to the monastery which was below average. They all do the same thing and all look the same quality. Recommend eating elsewhere. But the monastery is great.

A nice monastery and the nature around and the fact that in the monastery there are the graves of two people that had a major role in preventing the deportation of Bulgarian Jews during WW2

Amazingly beautiful monastery! Definitely worth visiting or staying for a night. It’s one of the largest in Bulgaria. It’s restored and has a great audio guide. Highly recommend.

Very nice old town. Good for a nice morning stroll. Lots of restaurants and bars around. I can recommend walking side streets as well. Overall a good experience but nothing really spectacular.

The Old City of Plovdiv (ancient Philippoupolis) is a magnificent blend of history, culture, and architecture. Once a thriving Greek and Roman city, it still preserves its charm through cobbled streets, colorful 19th-century houses, and elegant churches and museums. Highlights include the Ancient Theatre, the Ethnographic Museum, and beautifully restored mansions like Balabanov House. Don’t miss the crafts street, where local artisans create and sell handmade jewelry, ceramics and traditional souvenirs, a lively reminder of the city’s creative spirit. A must-see for history and art lovers alike.

Plovdiv’s Old Town is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric places I’ve visited. The cobblestone streets, colorful Revival-era houses, and hidden courtyards make the whole area feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Every corner has something interesting—museums, galleries, small cafés, and amazing viewpoints over the city. It’s clean, calm, and perfect for walking, even if you’re just exploring without a plan. The architecture is stunning, especially the traditional Bulgarian houses and the Roman theatre. Locals are friendly and there’s plenty of information signs in English too. If you’re in Plovdiv, you simply must visit the Old Town. It’s easily one of the highlights of the city.

It's a wonderful old city, but I definitely recommend avoiding it in hot weather. We think it's best visited in the fall. A stroller isn't comfortable due to the cobblestones. Sneakers are more comfortable. It's a pleasant city to visit.

Definitely worth visiting — it’s the only truly beautiful spot around. Just be careful with your footwear, as the ground is uneven with broken stones and no flat surfaces. Free entrance.

Very nice place to walk with your loved ones. Enjoyed the old city this afternoon 🤗

I had a wonderful experience visiting this place and saw the culture of a civilization that existed many years ago! What they discovered and what they have done to survive.

If you look at the price and if you look at the potential of this site, I would not buy tickets if there is no event. Amazing location for live music. I'll advice to check shows in advance; then it will be something nice to visit. Just buying tickets and checking the site, it lacks info signs (there is a digital option, not the best quality). You can also perfectly have an idea of this site when walking around it.

The Roman Theatre in Plovdiv is one of the city’s strongest highlights. The hillside setting and the view over the modern city make it especially beautiful around sunset. From November onward it officially closes at 17:30, and when I arrived around 17:00 the lady at the entrance already hesitated to let people in, so timing really matters. If you want the best light and a calm atmosphere, aim for the late-afternoon–sunset window and get there earlier than the posted closing time.

The Ancient Theatre of Philippopolis is honestly one of the coolest places in Plovdiv. It’s huge, well-preserved, and the view from the top is amazing. It feels crazy to stand somewhere that old and still see it in such good condition. Super easy to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the atmosphere. Totally worth visiting.

It is a very beautiful and magnificent architecture. Ladies, be careful. The venue is not suitable for high heels, especially if you are trying to reach from the entrance on the very top of the hill to the scene downloads. There are no railing to hold on to, and the syairs are very high!

Great venue. A bucket list must, see a band play here. Best to select wooden seats rather than stone seats... when with a cushion, they are still warm from the sun earlier in the day.

It is impressive considering it was constructed in the 1st century. I visited it in March 2025. I found they did to accept credit cards and I did not have any Bulgarian Levs. The lady there was so kind that she asked me to go ahead to visit it and pay the next day. I found some $US eventually, and she accepted it.

The place you should see if you visit Plovdiv. Ancient ruins still used for art performances. Full of life place with this spiritual beauty. Don’t skip and take a walk through the stairs and tiny streets covered in stones.

We were there at the last week of the season, therefore didn’t have any questions. Everything was so fast, easy and relaxed. Cards are in good condition. Dont get the ones with ads on cause you cant see and enjoy the view 😂 We took half day tickets (from 12.30 till 16.00). It was more than enough since it wasn’t crowded. Ticket office and the machines are the same prices. There are stairs to go up very hard to walk would be nice to have a lift.

Extremely long cues, up-to 2 hours in the morning. To save time buy the VIP to use the back entrance, or, take the taxi to the top, or, arrive after the morning rush! There are also long cues to come down as the sun starts to set. Beautiful ride to the top

Absolutely great. I'm over 75, have difficulty walking and for 1Lv had a Gondala pass (same for my assisting daughter). The Gondala staff not only stopped the Gondala so I could get on but messaged ahead to the other end so they would do the same.

One of the greatest views in the area, quick and reliable service!

It's a gondola.... We were in Bansko week before Feb half term and after 9am it was mega busy, 30 minutes wait minimum if you don't have the magic queue jump pass. Runs all day up and down with a mid station stop at Chalin Valog. Takes about 29mins to reach the top. Tickets bought via crystal Ski so can't comment on the usual cost.

Great experience, but the price of 25 EUR /person for a ride is way too much. July 2025

Incompetent system to transfer people to the ski zone. The queue may take up to 3 hours. Second lift shall be in service at earliest. Although they charge 50€ per day, the quality does not match the expectation. There are alternative queues (so called Vip line and Ski school) inside gondola station, this is the reason why you wait too long outside. Apart from that, slopes are surrounded with pine trees and the lifts uphill are relatively less busy.

Incredibly beautiful spiritual site, highly recommended visiting if you’re in the area and can easily make a day trip out of it from Sofia! So much history in this site, the Monastery is free to enter but I would recommend a guided tour for a rich experience.

Beautiful Monastery and beautiful surrounding. The road from Rila to Monastery was magical as forest around this Autumn was like fairy tale. It was on and off rain so not many tourists came (perfect!). You are not allowed to take photos inside the church and walk into the residential area. Entry is free (not sure about museum as I didn’t get in)

Best place to bei. Spiritual and cultural Highlight placed in magical mountain scenery. Parking ahead with a few Meters walkway possible free of Charge. Highly recommend. If you avoid peaktime, than It ist more relaxing. Full around noon.

Magnificent and unforgettable! Rila Monastery is truly one of Bulgaria’s greatest treasures. The architecture is stunning, surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery, and the atmosphere is peaceful and spiritual. The frescoes and details inside are incredible — a must-visit for anyone traveling in Bulgaria. Absolutely worth the trip from Sofia!

Rila Monastery is truly breathtaking. Nestled in the mountains, it feels like stepping into a peaceful world far removed from everyday life. The architecture is stunning—colorful arches, intricate frescoes, and beautifully preserved details everywhere you look. The courtyard is especially magical, with the striped façade and central church creating a postcard-perfect view. Inside the church, the frescoes are extraordinary and worth taking your time to appreciate. The surrounding nature is equally impressive; the fresh mountain air and quiet trails make the whole visit feel rejuvenating. Parking and access are straightforward, and there are small shops nearby with local treats and souvenirs. A must-visit if you’re in Bulgaria—both for its history and its serene atmosphere.

Rila Monastery is about a 1.5-hour drive from Sofia, nestled deep in the mountains. It’s best to go by car — the road is easy and takes you through stunning scenery. Plan to spend around two hours at the monastery itself, plus extra time to explore the surrounding area. The complex is breathtaking — beautifully preserved and full of history. Don’t miss the small museum and the icon exhibition next to it. From the courtyard, the colorful buildings set against the mountain backdrop are truly spectacular. Behind the monastery, you’ll also find a restaurant and a few souvenir shops. It’s worth arriving early — I got there around 10 a.m., when it was still peaceful, but by 11:30 the tour buses start to arrive and it gets crowded.

Really beautiful monastery. Wonderful endless murals right outside of the church. Free to enter (didn't try to visit the museum) You need to pay for the parking lot, 5 leva (~2.5 euro). The road to reach it was very nice, some parts alongside the river, made a great photo stop as well

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Beautiful orthodox church. Inside is very simple but prayerful.

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

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

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

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

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

For walking and exploring city one of the main road

very long and nice central street

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A mustsee when visiting Belgrade! This is truly one of the prettiest churches I’ve ever seen and that’s coming from someone who’s only seen churches in America and Mexico. Everywhere I turned, there was another piece of art to admire; it was deeply moving, especially with the soft singing in the background. Downstairs, there’s also a newer art exhibition that beautifully complements the main space. I loved seeing the attention to detail and the richness of the religious artwork throughout. Absolutely a spot you shouldn’t miss.

Beautiful church inside and outside with many icons and an epicenter of Orthodox Christianity. If you are not knowledgeable of Serbia or Orthodox Christianity, would recommend a tour guide, especially if you are from a different culture. I visited many churches alone, but some tourists don't understand the history and a guide would be a good idea.

One of Belgrade’s most iconic landmarks, and in my opinion it deserves even more international recognition. The Temple of Saint Sava is one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world, built on the site where Saint Sava’s relics were burned by the Ottomans in 1595. The idea to construct a grand church in his honor dates back to the 19th century, but the actual building process only began in 1935 and continued, through wars, occupations, and political changes, until the 21st century. The exterior is monumental, while the interior is truly breathtaking: golden mosaics, marble details, and a serene underground crypt that is worth visiting on its own. Easily accessible, beautifully illuminated at night, and one of the absolute must-see places in Belgrade.

The most beautiful, The Church of Saint Sava is a Serbian Orthodox church in the Vračar plateau in Belgrade, Serbia. It is the largest Orthodox church in Serbia, one of the largest Eastern Orthodox churches and it ranks among the largest churches in the world. You woll be lost in its beauty once you are inside. A must to visit place in Belgrade

I went here on the 31/8/2025 at 8:00 am sharp since I wanted to see the church without the crowds and I must say this place really disappointed me. The square in front of it it’s completely destroyed and the floor is shattered. It’s full of weeds, trash, faeces, urine and used syringes and it looked like it was never cared for or cleaned. In front to the entrance if the church there were many homeless people. Many young and many well past they nineties. It was so sad seeing those people coming to h crying and begging for food. It shattered my heart and left me with a heavy heart for my whole stay in Belgrade. The church is beautiful inside but it’s unfortunately not looked after properly. It was very crowded and there were pieces of trash and debris everywhere. It looked like it lacked maintenance and the staff wouldn’t stop staring at me and talking with themself while they were pointing at me and making obvious rude comments. It made me feel uncomfortable and unsafe. If you are in Belgrade I suggest you coming here but beware it won’t be as you may expect it unfortunately. Such a shame

Saint Sava Cathedral in Belgrade is majestic. Its imposing structure dominates the skyline, while the golden interior is impressive. The beautifully landscaped garden at the front adds a serene charm, making the entire site a great destination

Very impressive mosaic work done in here. It just blows me away. Unbelievable to think there around 50 million mosaic pieces in this church. Impressive.

Amazing street, with a lot of cafés and shops of souvenirs.

Good place but I expected much more.

Very nice street. Probably the street to go shopping. All brands: Nespresso, Lacoste, Zara and many more. If I'm right, Goethe Institut and Instituto Cervantes are also there located. Very clean, full of people, street musicians and many more. Totally recommended.

Clean with good restaurants around

A notable walking street in Beograde with shops and restaurants

I went here on the 31/8/2025 and the street from what I’ve heard it’s supposed to be the best and most charming street in the country. The standards here must be very low because when I was here it was completely dead until 3:00 pm. Not a single soul on sight until late in the afternoon. The street was also extremely filthy with trash, vomit, feaces, urine and used syringes everywhere on the ground. It looked like it was never cleaned or in general taken care of in its life. When it got a bit lively it felt unsafe because it was full of pickpockets. It was extremely sad to see many people begging in the street. Some very young. It broke my heart and left me with a heavy heart my whole stay in Belgrade. A real shame

Very cool and historic street

Must vist place in belgrade serbia. The Fortress is a must visit when in the city. Originally built by the Romans in the 1st century AD, the fortress has seen countless empires rise and fall including Byzantine, Hungarian, Ottoman, and Austrian, each leaving its own mark. The Ottomans, who ruled Belgrade for nearly two centuries, rebuilt and expanded large parts of the fortress. You can still see traces of their presence in the design of the gates, the remains of the mosque near the Upper Town, and the general layout that reflects their military architecture. The surrounding Kalemegdan Park adds charm to the visit, offering shaded paths, sculptures, and views across the rivers. Key highlights within the fortress include the Victor Monument, and the Military Museum, which houses weapons from various periods of Serbian and Balkan. Great history, great view, great vepons

Clean. Well maintained. Free entry. Has free public toilets. Good place to explore and have a walk. The views of New Belgrade and the Danube are amazing.

It is a beautiful place. No entry ticket to most of the places. View of the rivers is beautiful. It was cloudy during our stasis we missed sunset. Chapel is worth visiting

Beautiful, I mean a must visit in Belgrade and free, lots of tanks and anti tanks outside, nice park, read the small signs along the walking it will tell you more about the history of it.

We went here on a walking tour of Belgrade. It is well laid out and provides a great setting to learn about the history of the area, city, and country. There are plaques throughout with some information but so much can be understood just by looking a the location to understand why it was a critical place for a fortification.

Cool views of the city, some armored vehicles on display at the gates, nothing too special. I liked reading the informative labels throughout the fortress, they were detailed. You can climb on some of the walls, other than that there are some basketball/tennis courts right outside that don’t really match the vibe.

I went here on the 31/8/2025 and I had such a bad experience. The park looked like it was from a war zone with trash, used syringes, faeces, urine and weeds everywhere. Really third world country conditions. It was full of people begging and homeless people that were screaming at the top of their lungs for no reason and the area generally felt really unsafe. I would not recommend visiting it under no circumstances. So sad

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

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

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

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

It's not so easy to find. Beautiful place

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

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

There was a service there when we visited, so it was closed for tourists. The entrance door is very interesting. There is something about leaves in Pecs, but we didn't quite understand what :)

This is a wonderful place to attend Mass, offering a peaceful and reverent atmosphere. The church itself is absolutely beautiful, with stunning architecture and intricate details that inspire a sense of awe and reflection. Whether you're a regular churchgoer or a visitor, it's a spiritually uplifting experience in a truly remarkable setting.

We didn’t go inside Pécs Cathedral, but even just walking around the outside was pretty awesome. The architecture is stunning—massive, elegant, and full of history. You can feel how old and important the place is just from the vibe it gives off. What really made the visit cool was exploring the ruins nearby. They’re tucked around the cathedral and give you this real sense of ancient layers—like you’re walking through different parts of history. Super atmospheric. Great photo ops, too. Definitely worth stopping by, even if you're not doing the full tour. Makes you want to come back and explore more next time!

All I can say is WOW! I have visited hundreds of churches in all my travels around the globe and this one ranks in the top 10. Who would have ever thought that a small city like Pécs would have such a gem. So worth visiting and taking a walk up the tower. Absolutely loved this place. Incredibly highly recommended. Cannot be missed!!!

Absolutely breathtaking! ⛪✨ Pécs Cathedral is a masterpiece of architecture and history. The interior is stunning 📸🌄 A true gem of the city! 💎

Beautiful Cathedral. You can even go up the tower on the South Side. Amazing views from the tower.

Stunning city! Love every minute of the holiday!! Love the place, beautiful architecture and a very nice walk around. If you want some facts about Pecs main attractions and some drone footage of the place I love, head to YouTube @pumalypp

This is a natural miracle! Everything is well organized-after you buy the ticket, a boat takes you to the park in about 20 minutes. The whole journey is fantastic. Then waterfalls and paths within the park are very natural and amazingly.

An amazing series of waterfalls in a beautiful valley. I had not heard of Krka national park before visiting Croatia as it is not as well known as the Plitvice park but it is just as beautiful. We visited on a day trip from Split in late October. It is about 1 hour 20mins from Split. There are many different areas of the park and we visited Lozovac. Here there is a large free car park with free toilets near to the ticket office. The start of the waterfalls walk is in a valley about 1km from the ticket office. There is a regular shuttle bus every 15 mins or you can walk down a gravel path. We chose to walk down. The path is quite steep in places so you might want to use the shuttle bus to return as it is uphill on the way back. There are more toilets and a cafe near to the start of the boardwalk which is about 3.5km long and is suitable for buggies. There are lots of little streams and small falls but the main falls is near the end just after another cafe and some gift stalls. The whole valley is so beautiful, especially in the autumn and we got lucky on a cloudless sunny day.

Best to visit in sunny weather, beautiful waterfalls and lots of benches and restaurants within the park from skradin side. Very bad direction labelling, the trail is not clearly marked so we ended going around a circle instead of forward to the monastery :( Ask for directions along every way!

Fantastic natural parc! We took the boat from Skrandic and walked the whole round hike to the top and back again. Lot of wildlife and panoramic spots! Don't take a stroller with you, there are a lot of stairs and if you skip them, you'll miss many viewpoints.

Beautiful scenery. Easy walking. Well signposted. Only downside was the price of food and drink inside the park, absolutely disgraceful. €7 for a pouch with less fries than a McDonald's and €19.50 for a pathetic burger. I get not wanting people to bring food and drink in due to rubbish and cross contamination of food/nature but sort your prices out.

We got the boat to the waterfall the views and surroundings on the way were amazing. The food by the waterfall was lovely and then the photo opportunitys were fabulous some of which I posted. Would recommended a visit here.

Fabulous experience of nature. Waterfalls were great. We took the boat from the nearby town and that was great. My mom who had difficulties walking could tag along with her walker. The stroll around the waterfalls were tough but worth it. It took about 30 minutes. Lots of steps here so no walker around the falls but no problem to and from the falls.

Nice cathedral, great work by Juraj Dalmatinac but the 7 euros entrance fee is definitely too high..

Rising from the historic heart of Šibenik, the Cathedral of St. James is more than just a magnificent structure; it is a living testament to human faith, ingenuity, and spirit. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a sublime fusion of Gothic and Renaissance styles, a unique architectural masterpiece that tells a story not just of stone and mortar, but of the souls who shaped it. Crafted entirely from local limestone and marble, the cathedral stands as a tribute to the master builders who, across more than a century, meticulously brought their vision to life. Its most celebrated feature, the frieze of 71 sculpted human faces, each one unique, looks down upon the city with a quiet dignity. These are not merely decorative elements; they are the faces of the people—the merchants, the sailors, the artisans—who lived and breathed in this city, forever immortalized in stone. Each face seems to hold a secret, a memory, a silent prayer echoing through the ages. Inside, the light filters through the magnificent rose window, illuminating the intricate carvings and the hushed sanctity of the space. The absence of traditional building materials like wood or brick gives the interior a pure, almost ethereal quality. It is a space where the past feels palpable, where every arch and every column seems to whisper the names of those who stood there before, seeking solace, celebrating joy, and finding strength. The Cathedral of St. James is not just an architectural marvel; it is the spiritual and cultural anchor of Šibenik. To stand before it is to feel a connection to generations past, to appreciate the profound power of art, and to be reminded that the most enduring legacies are those built not just with hands, but with heart. It is a monument that speaks a universal language of beauty and devotion, a timeless beacon for all who seek inspiration.

One of the cathedrals that is worth the entrance fee (payable in cash). Though small, the baptistery is quite impressive. Outside the cathedral also holds many interesting details to look at. Take the brochure once inside the cathedral to read. Is well laid out information. The cathedral ticket comes with a free visit to Civitas Sacra museum (can skip unless you need find a place to escape the sun).

I visited on a weekday to avoid the larger crowds. The cathedral is one of the most significant and stunning architectural landmarks in Croatia. Since I wasn’t wearing the appropriate clothing (shorts), I chose not to enter out of respect, so I was only able to admire its exterior. Even so, the façade was breathtaking, and I look forward to returning someday to experience the interior as well. For photography enthusiasts, this spot is truly postcard-worthy.

Absolutely stunning, beautiful blend of gothic and renaissance architecture. I reccomend this and for art history lovers, and for people who just like to watch beautiful things. The heads on the fasade are just stunning!

The cathedral & the whole of Šibenik old town are stunning. Get there early or stay late to avoid the crowds. You won't regret it

The must see in the cathedral is the small baptistery with carved ceiling. The 7€ entrance fee does also include the museum in a separate location. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to visit, so the fee is quite high. They only take cash too. They do provide a brochure in multiple languages so that you can do a self-guided tour, which is much better than many other cathedrals.

A must-go museum that displays an array of relics of lost and broken love. Reading various related stories was so interesting, and I had a very impressive time there. The clerks inside were so kind, and they had a decent souvenir shop and an inside café to chill myself after passing through a lot of heartbreaking stories. If I could, I would rate this place 6 out of 5 stars.

A must see! A unique museum collection containing various items “of one’s affection” that at some point required dismissal for resolution. Donor’s also offer a vignette of the relationship behind the objects. Decide for yourself, if and where you fit into these stories , and have a cathartic experience for a few hours. There are 5-6 small rooms , lots of interesting readings that require 1-2 hours of your time. Clever idea to put together this collection. One that will keep growing as long as humanity is involved!

Wonderful little museum filled with mementos and poignant stories about the people, things, events and places that we fall in love with and have to let go. If you enjoy stories about being human and want to experience a different kind of museum filled with humanity then you must go. I thoroughly enjoyed! Spent about 1-1.5 hours there. Nice, comfortable cafe attached. This is in historic old town or upper town

Based off the name of this museum, you’d expect it to be rather depressing… and it kinda is, but in a touching way. Genuine stories, genuine heartbreak, real people. It’s a Museum of Broken Relationships, as the name implies… but, of all kinds of broken relationships, some of which will give you a laugh. Some of which… don’t. I bought my tickets in advance, but when I got there it was rather empty (I went October 1), so it was very easy. I have heard it can get quite busy though, which is why I got tickets in advance. Don’t skip this.

I really liked it and I think it is a must see if you are in Zagreb! You have to do a lot of reading but it is worth it. The stories are as different as the objects and whats very cool - they are from around the world. Some you may like, some may bore you, some may leave something to think about. This is a bit different kind of museum as we are used to but thats another beauty of it🥰

We came here as we'd heard of it as a must see and unique tourist attraction, as well as the fact that it was open quite late in the night when we had some free time. The entry fee was €7 per adult and overall, I was very disappointed. The museum is only made up of about 5 or so rooms with mementos from past relationships, each with a note detailing the backstory of the piece. None of the items themselves are really that interesting, and you'd have to do a lot of reading about each item to understand the meaning behind them. However, most of the stories are just average break up stories and I didn't feel emotionally engaged by any of them. The most interesting part for me was reading the guest book at the back with some pretty funny comments on there. If it was a free museum then I would say go there since it's a very unique concept so it could be interesting. But paying €7 to look at some objects from broken relationships, it's not really worth it.

Gotta be honest, I was expecting some sort of tourist trap. Hell I was wrong!!! Despite its small size, this is one of the most interesting and engaging museums you'll ever visit. Each object tells such a compelling and vivid story of heartbreak that transports you to the heartbreaks you've experienced in your life. Some of the stories here are funny, some are sad, some are devastating (one in particular made me cry a lot!).

St. Mark's Church dates back to 13 cent and is located on top of the upper town on the same name square housing the Croatian parliament next door. Most distinctive and eye catching feature are the Croatian and Zagreb coat of arms on its roof. Unfortunately the Church is closed currently for renovations.

Saint Mark’s Church in Zagreb’s Upper Town is a stunning sight, even from the outside. Its colorful tiled roof with Croatia’s and Zagreb’s coats of arms is unique and eye-catching. The Gothic portal looks impressive, but you can’t get too close due to barriers. It’s a bit disappointing it’s closed for repairs, but still worth seeing. The square around it feels historic and lively despite the restrictions.

1 | St. Mark’s Church in Zagreb dates back to the 13th century, making it one of the city’s oldest architectural monuments. It is easily recognized by its vividly tiled roof, which displays the coats of arms of the medieval Triune Kingdom of Croatia‑Slavonia‑Dalmatia and the City of Zagreb. 2 | The church roof is very photogenic, and the site is worth a visit. During our stay in Zagreb in July 2025, the church was under renovation, and construction container towers were set up in front of it. The interior couldn't be visited, and it was nearly impossible to take a decent photo of the church.

St. Mark’s Church, located in Zagreb’s historic Upper Town (Gornji Grad), is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks, largely due to its striking tiled roof. This colorful roof features two coats of arms made from glazed ceramic tiles. On the left side is the emblem of the former Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia, and Dalmatia, representing the union of these historical regions. It combines a red-and-white checkerboard for Croatia, three lion heads for Dalmatia, and a marten running across a field with a star above for Slavonia. On the right side of the roof is the coat of arms of the city of Zagreb. It shows a white, three-towered city gate on a blue background, symbolizing openness and protection, with a golden six-pointed star and crescent moon above it. The roof was added during a major restoration in the late 19th century, reflecting both national pride and the Gothic revival style of the time. Today, it serves not only as a beautiful architectural feature but also as a meaningful symbol of Croatia’s history and Zagreb’s civic identity. The church is currently closed. Croatia's main political activities (Parliament) is also located on St Mark's Square.

Clean, quiet, colourful roof stands out beautifully against the autumn blue sky. Go around to view it from the back also.

Saint Mark’s Church uniquely colourful tiled roof makes it a Zagreb icon! Also, it is one of the oldest buildings in the city dating from the 13th century. Depending on the time or day, this section of the main square is bordered off by security due to government meetings so you may not get to see inside the church!

Amazing architecture. Great part of Zagreb and must-see. But it is under construction now and there is no entrance.

Beautiful nature. We did circuit C and it took us 4 hours, moderately difficult terrain. The boat trip was also great. There are toilets and refreshment stands at the stations. Nice people everywhere.

• A breathtaking natural wonder, the view is absolutely stunning. 🌿💦 •The power and sound of the waterfall are mesmerizing. •Beautiful walking trails with peaceful surroundings. •A must-see spot in Croatia. •Very clean, well-maintained, and visitor-friendly.

The "Great Waterfall" in Croatia is called Veliki Slap and is the largest waterfall in Plitvice Lakes National Park. It has a height of 78 meters and is fed by the Plitvica River. What a magnificent view!

The big waterfall looks perfect. If you are lucky, your impression will be completed by the small drops carried by the gentle wind from the waterfall that fall on the tourists. The impression would be better if there weren't so many tourists in this place, but I can understand why people stay here.

Dreamy, full-on nature immersive! Only downside: wooden path is very narrow plus at water level, so u can't enjoy the waterfall in absolute peace - making space for people passing all the time & the anxiety of your belongings (phone etc) falling in the lakes.

Absolutely gorgeous and an amazing experience to be here. This is the highest waterfall in the Plitvice National Park – 78 meters high situated at the very end of the Lower Lakes. It is fed by the waters of the Plitvica Potok River. Considered as the most beautiful one on the Lakes, this waterfall is also the highest one in the whole of Croatia. A must visit site, when in Croatia.

TOURIST TRAP. It’s an amazing natural site, however the queues are crazy and it seems they let too many people into the park. Expect 1 or 2 hour queue to catch the boat. We ended up not bothering and just walking. I’d recommend visiting but maybe come off season or get here super early. The time slot is just for entrance, not the boats.

Wow! Fantastic experience! You could easily spend the whole day at the park. There are number of trails leading around the lakes and under the waterfalls. Every part of it looks do beautiful. The water is extremely clean and the colours vary from light blue to turquoise green. It’s a must go destination in Croatia

Absolutely stunning nature, I felt like I was wandering through the loveliest dream. Aside from the obvious, the forest itself is incredibly beautiful, soft, nurturing, with ivy covered trees, moss adorned rocks, and colorful leaves blanketing the forest floor. I highly recommend coming in mid to late October for the fall foliage, it imbues a mystical quality to this already enchanted place.

Very beautiful park and easy to access. We was lucky to get 2 versions of the scenery. We came late on day 1 (17 Nov), so we decided to revisit in the next day. There was significant snow and the scenery had changed. Although we couldn't go to your lakes due to the weather, the scenery in lower lakes was fantastic.

Such a beautiful serene environment, walking on the trails did get a bit busy at times but once you're in its amazing to see little pockets of natural beauty, clear waters, different varieties of fish, plants and many jaw dropping waterfalls, too many to count. I would highly recommend for anyone visiting Croatia.

This park is really fantastic. We were here for two days. Walked about 30 km. Some areas quite busy (great waterfall). If possible i recommend an early start to avoid the tourists coming in by busloads. The lakes are great and everything is remarkably clean. We had a great time, highlight of our trip to Croatia.

It's no wonder the Plitvice Lakes are called Croatia's main attraction. It's a vast and incredibly beautiful national park. We visited in the summer, so everything was blooming and green. The park's highlight is the many waterfalls it has. Here, the waterfalls resemble delicate lace, an exquisite interplay of streams and intertwining water flows - there waterfalls upon waterfalls. If you're in Croatia, don't miss the opportunity to admire this spectacle! Some of the hiking trails will easily last a few hours, so prepare to spend a full day here.

Great planning in the national park, with bus and boat inclusive with the ticket which is unbelievable at this kind of world-famous tourist spot. Experienced route H, spent around 5 hours and quite easy to walk, thanks for the bus taking us uphill and start at the top with over 80% of the journey are downhill. Fall season should be promoted more, the view is amazing, weather is comfortable but obviously there are not many visitors during Oct.

Wonderful castle with rich history and, luckily for us, many fun activities. We visited the Castle at the time of the Art Festival, where art workshops for kids were taking place. It was wonderful! At the castle you can see some interesting musical instruments, traditional masks, weapons and so on. We also enjoyed visiting the musum shop, which featured handmade products from local artists. Very worth the visit!

This is a lovely place to explore and to view the city below; it is also home to the one of the two oldest vine plants in the world and both are in Slovenia, this particular one being in the central court yard of the Castle.

If you are histoty nerd and you didnt visit Ptuj castle, you are missing out. The most beautiful castle in the region with spectacular view and museum.

Beautiful place, and lots of interesting stuff on display inside. Worth a visit.

Good place to visit. I didn’t pay to go inside but the outside was enough.

Nice place to visit. I was scared of rats ;) (see pictures)

Another day, another castle! Great view on the city.

Beautiful view of the entire city! The castle is well preserved, and there’s a small café inside. The entrance fee is €3. As you go up, there’s a place to park under the trees, and you can also visit the church nearby. If you’re in the city or the surrounding area, it’s definitely worth a visit. You won’t need more than 20–30 minutes.

Small castle but looks amazing with the beautiful Croatian flag.There is a magnificent view from here. There is a small cafe here for a snack and a drink . A very steep staircase with many steps leads to the castle. But it is difficult for the elderly and children. It's better to take bus 2 or 8

This is a great spot to walk to from the heart of Rijeka. You can either take the stairs (there are at least two sets to choose from) or the side roads. The castle is free to visit, has some interesting architectural features and views given its elevation above the city. I was here on a fall feast day, and there were several tour groups at the castle. I would imagine that it would get crowded during the height of the tourist season.

Entering was free. We spent 1.5 hours wondering around, bigger place than we thougth, it was beautiful. The garden and towers are kept in good shape, view to the canal and the city was also stunning from here. You can enjoy a coffee our a meal also.

Interesting castle with a beautiful views, a small museum and a café on central terrace. Nice stroll through the nearby park. Trsat castle looks specially nice in winter time.

The castle offers a beautiful view of the city and the sea. The entrance fee is cheap, you can only pay with a credit card. There is a small cafe bar and museum here.

Great walk towards the castle if you have a bit of a condition because it requires quite some stairs from Rijeka. But it's more than worth it, amazing views and afterwards a nice drink inside while watching the sun go down.
