Very calm lake, especially in this Autumn season. Great location and plenty to explore around. The fun would sure have been doubled with a bicycle. If you have one, then definitely bring one. Several places around to disembark on a journey of your own. Many peaks to climb around as well!
Vaman N — Google review
We took the BRB train from Munich to Tegernsee Lake, which was an easy and comfortable trip that took about an hour. We went just for sightseeing without swimming or taking a boat. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and very peaceful. The lake and mountains create a stunning view that feels relaxing and refreshing. It’s a great place to walk around, sit by the water, and enjoy the calm atmosphere. Even without any activities, it was worth the visit. Highly recommend Tegernsee for anyone looking for a quiet escape from the city.
Nadzim Z — Google review
A Perfect Day Trip to Tegernsee – Nature, Adventure & Peace in One Place Taking the train from Munich to Tegernsee (RB 57) is an experience in itself. The journey is about an hour, but it feels like a scenic film , rolling green hills, charming Bavarian houses, and that magical moment when you first spot the shimmering blue lake from high above. Once you arrive, Tegernsee greets you with postcard-perfect views. The lakeshore is lined with elegant yachts gently swaying in the breeze, cozy cafes with outdoor seating where you can sip coffee while watching the sailboats, and peaceful beaches where the clear water sparkles under the sun. On a sunny day, the lake almost glows, making it perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply lying on the shore with a book. For those seeking a bit more excitement, Tegernsee offers plenty of water sports like kayaking, sailing, and stand-up paddling. And if you’re feeling adventurous, paragliding from the nearby mountains gives you a bird’s-eye view of the lake surrounded by the Alps. The whole area has a peaceful, rejuvenating atmosphere. It’s a blend of nature, clean alpine air, and just enough activity to keep you engaged. Whether you’re strolling along the promenade, exploring small shops, or enjoying the mountain backdrop from a sunny cafe terrace, there’s always something beautiful to take in. Bonus Tips for a Perfect Trip: 🕗 Go early morning, especially on weekends, to get a good seat for yoir friends/family. 🚆 Sit on the right side when heading towards Tegernsee for the best view of the lake from above; on the return journey, choose the left side for a repeat of the scenery. 🚌 There’s a bus service from Tegernsee Bahnhof that takes you to different spots around the lake. Divide your time wisely to see as many points as possible. Each corner of the lake has its own charm. Tegernsee is one of those places where time slows down, and you feel refreshed just by being there. Whether you come for sports, sightseeing, or simply peace and nature, it’s hard to leave without planning your next visit.

Tegernsee is one of the most beautiful lakes and even places, I have ever seen and been to!! Small lake and town near to Munich, less than 2 hours by car and also you can get there with train very comfortably, during pandamic all the shops in a small town are close but there are many small local shops for dining and decorative stuffs. But we enjoy sightseeing, hiking, relaxing and we were lucky because it was sunny that day and it helped us to enjoy more. Definitely I will come back and stay there for couple of days in hotel, one fay was not enough for me !!

Great skiing and views across the alps. Can get windy at times. Was very quiet when we were there, which was great.
Glyn W — Google review
Great place to ski. Well groomed pistes all day and not too crowded. Lifts are in good condition. Nice bars & restaurants. Nenner Sport has 2 Shops on the glacier, so if you need to rent i would recommend them as you can quickly get any issues resolved while you are on the mountain and dont need to cut off your day to go to the rental shop. Nice for small walks too. nice big viewing platform on top. careful though, no toilets on the very top!!!

Just Wow... first time there but in the morning when sun shine and you have nearly whole slope for yourself the slope is perfectly prepared one word comes in mind "unglaublich"... We have visted in January.

Awesome glacier ski resort! Well prepared slopes which are broad, length is medium to short. Supposed to be ski resort during the whole year but I haven't been there in summer. Food is just ok, view is very nice. Definitely recommended overall!
TH3 T — Google review
We visited on foot at summertime. A very nice experience going all the way to the top at "Gefrorene Wand". The view is awesome. The "Sommerbergalm" (first stop) @2100m is mostly for kids. Not a great view, still rather warm and a playground. The second stop "Tuxer Fernerhaus" @2600m has a rather nice view, a huge restaurant with both self-service and table serving. This is where the Sommerbergalm skiing starts. It's was around 9°C at noon. The last stop "Gefrorene Wand" Bad an absolute awesome view from the top terrace. No restaurant, but a glacier walk. We did not try that as shorts and normal shoes did not seem appropriate for that activity. It was around 0°C at noon. We got a discount by buying tickets after 11:45. Kids younger that 8 are free. 8-16 travel at kids rate. Remember to bring warm clothes and proper footwear.

Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen

Mentioned on 
23 lists 
Mountain cable car
Transportation
Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen Betriebs GmbH (Nordkette) is a modern transportation system connecting Innsbruck with Hungerburg, designed by Zaha Hadid. The cable car ride offers a scenic 20-minute journey to the Nordkette, showcasing breathtaking views of Innsbruck and its surrounding mountain landscapes.
If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would! The Nordkette Cable Car is like riding straight into a postcard. 🚡 You start right in the heart of Innsbruck, glide up on the Hungerburg funicular, hop on the Seegrubenbahn, and before you know it you’re soaring over alpine meadows and jagged peaks. The final stretch to Hafelekar feels like you’re being lifted to the edge of the sky — and the views at the top? Absolutely jaw-dropping. 🌍✨ The ride itself is smooth, the cabins are clean, and the staff are friendly. Pro tip: go on a clear day — you’ll see the whole city spread out below and snow-capped peaks stretching forever. Bring a camera and a jacket, because even in summer it’s chilly at the top! Whether you want to hike, snap a million photos, or just sip a drink with the most epic backdrop imaginable, this is a must-do in Innsbruck. Worth every cent and then some.
Ashley C — Google review
Value for money if you go during happy hours. Even if you don’t find tickets online, just go there and they will apply the discount of 20% during happy hours. We went around 4 PM and I think it is perfect timing. Very little rush in funicular, cable cars (there are 2) , view point and also in the cafe/restaurant.

An excellent way to see the top of Innsbruck! The station is clean and well maintained, and the ticketing system was clear. This is the first station for the rail car, then there are two more cable cars to reach the top station. The entire journey takes maybe 30 minutes if you time it correctly.

We just wanted to see how beautiful these crystals display. We did not buy anything from them, too bad for them. But the way they arranged their display, even on the way to exit, they enticed visitors with various pricing range to make sure that they would get something from them. Nevertheless, it's still worth a visit to see various crystals, such ones in marvel movies, Donald Duck etc. The display at ground floor (first enter) is €€€ above but the ones at 2nd floor is more affordable and attractive.

Visiting the Swarovski store in Innsbruck, Austria, is a must for any crystal lover. The store itself is beautifully designed, creating a luxurious atmosphere to browse their stunning collection.

The staff were so nice! I bought a ring yesterday but realised it was too big once i cut off the rubber that tied it to the packaging. So i headed in to exchange my ring today. The exchange process was really easy and the staff were happy to help. I went in with my ring in M size, the original packaging and the receipt. And i tried on the S size ring with the help of a staff. Then i just brought the S size ring to the cashier and explained the need for a change in size. The exchange was super quick, took less than 10 mins altogether! Really thankful for the experienced staff and the helpful service!

Up to this day, the plaza is being used for basking, dancing, and events. It's us a nice walk around the plaza with the varieties of shops.

The Golden Roof is Innsbruck’s most famous landmark, a late Gothic balcony built in 1500 for Emperor Maximilian I and decorated with 2,657 gilded copper tiles. It’s an impressive piece of history and a symbol of the city, though the small size can feel a bit underwhelming compared to its fame. Worth a look while wandering the Old Town, especially for the historical significance, but don’t expect a grand spectacle.

The Golden Roof is a landmark located in the old town. It is the most famous symbol of the city. The roof, completed in 1500, was decorated with 2,657 gilded copper tiles for Emperor Maximilian I to commemorate his marriage to Bianca Maria Sforza. The emperor and his wife watched various events from the balcony. Unfortunately, due to the height, it is not possible to see the details more clearly.
Bogdan M — Google review
The entry to the museum is free with the Innsbruck card. So I went in to take a look... It wasn't much. But provided some relief from the scorching sun. You have to go upstairs.

Each building on the street is so defined and colorful that you can almost miss this one with the golden roof built for the Emperor so he could view the street and tournaments. Nevertheless it’s gorgeous. There’s a small museum inside but I didn’t go in. There is so much to see on the street across from this Goldenes Dachl that you become distracted with the sheer art that these two streets are.

Gilfenklamm

Mentioned on

Temporarily Closed
Nature & Parks
Hiking area
Waterfalls
Gilfenklamm is a stunning natural attraction featuring alpine waterfalls flowing through a white marble gorge, accessible via bridges and boardwalks. The main highlight is the impressive waterfall, offering exciting hiking opportunities for adventurous visitors. While the trail involves some challenges such as steep inclines and slippery rocks, the breathtaking views of the gorge make it worth the effort. It's recommended to start the hike early in the morning to avoid crowds and fully appreciate the mind-blowing scenery.
The Gilfenklamm is a hidden gem on the way to the Dolomites. It is a nice 1.5-2 hours walk to the gorge and back. Initially you will pass via a river and after about 30 minutes later you will be at the actual gorge. So don’t get disappointed and keep walking. The gorge itself is small but very beautiful. It has railings on most of the path. Be careful as some parts meat be slippery. It has 2 entrances- one at the bottom and on the top( basically at the ends of the gorge area. There is parking at toilet at both the ends. We had parked at the bottom one where there is a ticket counter and one toilet. The toilet is hygienic and maintained well. The person at the ticket counter was very sweet and was talking in English. We were there on a Sunday in August ‘24 and it was moderately crowded which was surprising since it was the vacation time. The entry fee is 7€ and one can pay by card.
Sukanya O — Google review
Nice to visit if you are in the area. We parked our car in the hotel right next to the attraction. It took us less than an hour to walk over to the other side and about 40 mins to walk back. Entry is €8 in 2025. From one side it's mainly going up, when we walk back it's mainly going down. When it's raining I wouldn't advise older people to go, could get very slippery on those metal walkways. It's a small nice gorge, but if you travelled from far away and only have limited time in Dolomite, skip this one, it's nothing spectacular for people have seen many gorges in other parts of the world, it has no particular Dolomite characteristics. But if you are like us living not far away and looking for a casual place to walk around to spend the weekend, it's a nice spot.

Fantastic walk following the waterfalls. You can either start at the top and walk down or start at the bottom and walk up. We had our dog and unfortunately some of the bridges and stairways are constructed with spike-like treads to prevent slipping, so our dog wasn’t too happy and had to be carried up and down some parts.

During winter, torch hiking tours are available in the area, offering an exciting way to experience the beauty of the gorge. The 703m long and 80m high Alpine wonder provides breathtaking views of spraying waterfalls, rapids, and calm basins.
A Must-Visit for Nature Lovers! 💚🏞️ Partnachklamm is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited — truly a wonder created by nature. If you ever get the chance, this place is an absolute must-visit! I wish I could go there again. The whole experience feels magical. The stunning gorge, the flowing river, and the natural ambience — it’s honestly hard to describe in words. You’ll be walking along the riverbanks, and much of the path runs through tunnels where it feels like it’s raining inside. It’s such a unique and refreshing feeling. A quick tip: If you can handle the cold, it’s better to wear shorts or something you can easily fold up. The pathway can get wet, and your clothes might get dirty by the time you exit the gorge. But if you’re sensitive to cold, make sure to carry a jacket with you. If you love nature, adventure, and breathtaking views, you’re definitely going to love this place!

A must visit for all people who like walking though nature. This place is amazing and so beautiful. U walk through it and wonder how nature works and see that if u leave nature to itself it does amazing things. People with wheelchair, strollers and people with walking handicap will have a hard time walking though here. Also when u go through the gorge is good to have a flash light, waterproof clothing and hiking booth.

Beautiful experience! The Partnachklamm is very well maintained and easy to follow, with clear paths and a nicely mapped route through the gorge. It’s a relatively easy hike. It can get a bit crowded on weekends, but the scenery more than makes up for it. After exiting the gorge, there are plenty of hiking trails to choose from if you’d like to continue exploring. Highly recommended!

Amazing place, gorgeous. Nature is impressive and the power of water is very obvious here. Some parts are rather dark though, so maybe bring a torch or just use your mobile phone for lighting. The paths are narrow in some parts but seeing that there wasn't too much going on, it was not a problem. I can imagine that it might be bothersome on busy day.

Visiting Partnachklamm – Beautiful, But Overpriced Partnachklamm (Partnach Gorge) is undeniably a natural wonder and a must-see if you're in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen area. The gorge is stunning, with its narrow passageways, towering limestone walls, and the sound of rushing water echoing through the canyon. It's an impressive display of raw natural beauty that photographers and nature-lovers will absolutely appreciate. However, the experience does come with a downside: the entrance fee. At €10 per adult (as of 2025), it feels steep for what is essentially a short, 700-meter walk through the gorge. While the path is well-maintained and safety measures are clearly in place, the high price doesn’t quite match the duration or complexity of the attraction. There's no guided experience included, and facilities are fairly basic. If you're traveling with a family or on a budget, the cost can add up quickly. It would be more reasonable if the ticket included access to nearby trails or some additional interpretive content about the geology and history of the gorge. In short: Pros: Stunning scenery, unique experience, easily accessible. Cons: Short walk, crowded during peak hours, and overpriced for what you get. Worth visiting once, especially if you've never seen a gorge like this before — but be prepared to pay more than you'd expect for a brief nature walk.

It’s a beauty. Observing the gorge and the surrounding was a very nice adventure. Obviously it might get a bit crowded especially on the weekends but the beauty wouldn’t allow anything to interfere. There is also a very nice hike route right after the gorge. Totally recommend.

Amazing experience walking along the catwalk and carved path through this glacial slot canyon! The water is clear and tinted ice-blue, rushing, and slicing through space that seems only a few feet wide, while you walk through cavernous tunnels and under overhangs. And then, coming out the other side, you get to walk back above and over it all! What a fun hike!! Just be prepared for some steep walking with good shoes, water, and a flashlight for those dark sections!
Brian B — Google review
Very beautiful gorge. Absolutely worth the entry price. Expect to get some drops of water as you go. It was pretty busy on a Friday morning. The walk above the gorge on the way back is really picturesque too.

Zugspitze is a well-known alpine destination that offers a ski resort, glaciers, and cable car rides with breathtaking scenic views. The area features a historic building constructed by Adolf Wenz in the late 19th century, which includes a weather station and former royal high observatory. Visitors can experience the thrill of ascending Germany's highest mountain via cog railway and cable car.
The most beautiful cable car ride of my life, and the view… indescribable. This is something everyone should see.😍😍 We went up by cable car and came back down with the cogwheel train, which after a while offered a beautiful view of the lake, the mountains, and the surroundings. Also a must-see.😊
Marta A — Google review
Visited in the autumn season — no snow, but the view was absolutely stunning! 🍁 The surrounding mountains and lakes looked breathtaking in golden shades. The cable car ride was smooth and offered amazing panoramic views. Even without snow, Zugspitze felt peaceful and majestic.
Divakar A — Google review
Very cool, highly recommend even if the mountain is covered in clouds up top. If that’s the case it would be nice if the ticket was discounted, but rain or shine it’s 75€ per person. There’s a restaurant & bar up there as well
Chris O — Google review
Beautiful view, great experience as tourists. there is another cable that takes you to the skiing part it is on the other side of the mountain. car park just outside the cable station. restaurants and shop accessible restrooms very clean. there are 2 options to get up/down to Zugspitze, cable or train. it is 75€ 2 ways on the cable I felt terrible pressure going down so mabe it is better to take the train down.
Yael F — Google review
Great place to visit if you want to experience high altitudes without actual climbing. Fast transfer by the cablecar, or more slow ascent by cogwheel train. The building at the summit has multiple floors and observation desks, you can cross to the Austrian side. There are restaurants on both sides. You can also take another cable car to the other side and play in the snow, even in August. Breathtaking views. Go early in the day to beat the clouds. There is also a small church. The bravest ones can climb the actual summit with the cross. Plan to spend at least a couple of hours and bring a sweater. Even in August.
Elllen K — Google review
The Zugspitze is the largest mountain of the Germany situated in the range of Alps Mountain, located on the scenic border between Germany and Austria, is an unforgettable experience and a must do especially for the fully snow covered peak and the thrill of the ascent. I highly recommend the cable car over the cogwheel train for the most breathtaking views, though both are covered in the approximately €75 combined ticket (which includes skiing access). We started by riding straight to the summit for a stunning, almost indescribable panorama, witnessing the sunset from the peak was a truly magical moment. We then descended to the lower Zugspitzplatt where the vast snow fields feel like a different universe perfect for playing in the snow and skiing. The ample parking, the presence of helpful mountain volunteers, and the organized operation make it a safe and enjoyable trip. Tip: Be sure to wear appropriate gear, especially warmers and gloves, and note that the last descent is strictly enforced, so plan to be back on the train or cable car around 4:30 PM. A truly wonderful and perfect day trip!
Arunbhaarat — Google review
You can take the train to the mountain, from there you can take a cable car to the top. This was one of the greatest experiences we had it was so much fun going to the top. When you reach the top there’s snow everywhere and free sleds you can take and have some fun like you were a child. It’s really beautiful and worth every cent. There’s a restaurant on the top where you can enjoy a beer the good was also great

Zugspitze was amazing! The views were absolutely stunning and the mountain lounge was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. The cheesecake wasn’t the best, but honestly, the view made up for it.

Ski & Snowboard Areas
Obergurgl-Hochgurgl is a winter paradise with its high-altitude runs reaching up to 3,000 meters, offering excellent snow conditions even in the lower areas. The resort features expansive and well-groomed slopes suitable for skiers of all levels, from beginners to experts. With modern lift systems and a well-connected network of slopes, visitors can easily navigate between different areas. Additionally, the resort provides night skiing opportunities and a snow park for added excitement.
Great high ski resort. Minimal queues. Good, wide blue runs although there are some blues from the top of the mountain that should not be blues, too narrow with shear side drop offs. Will definitely visit again.
Kay M — Google review
Obergurgl is a stunning alpine village offering excellent skiing, breathtaking views, and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Great snow reliability, modern lifts, and charming hotels make it a top winter getaway in the Austrian Alps. Near the end of season a lot of the bars and restaurants shut but it still has a nice feel about it.

If you're looking for the ultimate winter escape, look no further than Obergurgl! This ski resort in March is nothing short of perfection—think powdery snow, crisp mountain air, and sunshine that makes you want to ski all day long. The snow quality? Top-notch. It's like skiing on marshmallows (but way cooler!). The slopes are impeccably maintained, offering something for everyone, from beginners to seasoned pros. Not to mention, the après-ski vibes are just as good as the skiing—delicious food on the slopes and cozy accommodations that make you feel right at home. It's the kind of place where you can’t help but smile with every turn. If you're not here yet, what are you waiting for? Get ready to make your friends jealous with your epic photos and unforgettable memories!

We had an absolutely amazing and truly rejuvenating stay! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The sauna area and thermal zone were simply outstanding – beautifully designed, relaxing, and spotlessly clean. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and perfectly maintained. The food was exceptional, with every meal offering fresh, delicious flavors and beautifully presented dishes. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Everything was of the highest standard, and we left feeling completely relaxed and recharged. We will definitely be returning – highly recommended!

This hotel and spa is very nice. The staff is absolutely amazing. They are friendly, fast and they all speak English, which was helpful for me and my group. The rooms are a good size and the showers are big too. Some rooms have a fireplace in them as well. The thermal pools and the spa 3000 are so relaxing. The whole place is in the apps and far enough away from town to be quiet but close enough to be accessible. The hotel offers hikes and skiing and bike trail trips for a small additional fee.

We stayed for two nights, and honestly, everything was spectacular. The room, the balcony with its view of the mountains and cows, everything was perfectly heated. The spa area was excellent — super peaceful and relaxing. A really lovely experience! The only thing that could have been better is if the outdoor pools had different temperatures, as they were all the same. Breakfast was my favorite part. There’s a wide variety and everything was delicious! The dinners were also very good. I should mention that I forgot my orthopedic pillow at the hotel and asked them to send it to my home since I’m not from Austria. They arranged the shipment at my expense, and within two days I had the pillow at home. So, the service is more than a 10 for me. Thank you so much for paying attention to every detail.

We stayed as two couples with two toddlers, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! Everything in the hotel feels new, clean, and thoughtfully designed – spacious rooms, very comfortable beds, and a relaxing atmosphere. There are over 10 different pools, each with its own character – saltwater, sulfur, warm, and even a cold pool. The spa area is fantastic, with both dry and wet saunas, and a beautiful adults-only zone that’s peaceful and quiet. The food was excellent – both breakfast and dinner were outstanding, with a great mix of buffet and à la carte dishes, and delicious desserts served to the table. The mountain views are breathtaking, and the kids loved the dedicated children’s pools with small slides and fountains, as well as the indoor play area. Overall, it was a perfect stay – truly the best hotel we’ve ever been to! The only downside was that after check-out at 11:00, access to the spa area was no longer allowed, and we paid extra charge for it We can’t wait to come back!

Neuschwanstein Castle

Mentioned on

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Neuschwanstein Castle, a 19th-century hilltop fortress commissioned by King Ludwig II, is a must-see attraction nestled in the Bavarian Alps near the Austrian border. It's one of Germany's most visited sites and offers tours of its lavishly furnished rooms. While it's a popular tourist spot, some travelers recommend exploring other day trips from Munich for a more rewarding experience.
🇩🇪 A Must-Visit in Germany: Neuschwanstein Castle If you’re planning a trip to Germany, Neuschwanstein Castle is an absolute must-see. Perched on a hill in Bavaria, it looks like something straight out of a fairytale — and it’s no wonder it inspired Disney’s Sleeping Beauty castle! There are two main options to reach the castle from the ticket center: 🚌 By shuttle bus 🐎 By horse-drawn carriage For the return journey, you can use the same options or do what we did — walk back down. It’s about a 15–20 minute walk, and totally worth it for the scenic route and peaceful forest atmosphere. One of the highlights of our visit was Marienbrücke (Mary’s Bridge). From here, you get a stunning panoramic view of the entire castle — definitely postcard-perfect! We chose not to go inside the castle and instead spent our time enjoying the breathtaking views and the fairytale ambiance from the outside. It was still a truly magical experience. 🛍️ There’s a souvenir shop on site with some nice mementos. ☕ Unfortunately, the café was closed during our visit. 🚗 Parking is available, though a bit pricey if you’re only staying for a short time. Overall: A memorable and highly recommended experience!
Virgiele C — Google review
The castle location is so beautiful. It is a treat for the sight just to hike towards the castle that is surrounded by bavarian alps. The guided tour, on the other hand is rather short (only 30min). The rooms are accessible only by lots of stairs and no photography is allowed. Only 14 castle rooms were furnished. Furthermore during our visit the cafe was also closed. This was a bummer since the ticket is so expensive for 23euros per person. Furthermore even though young kids are allowed inside the castle for free they need their own ticket and it can't be booked online. The ticket we got got our toddler from the information booth did not have a scan code and my daughter could not get inside so i had to run to fund security to let her inside. The security guide solved the issue quickly though. The point is that the ticket handling system must be more organized and improved upon. On the other hand, the cave room, singers room and the balcony were breath taking so the hassle was kind of worth it. The ticket price should be reduced though. I would say overall it was a very pleasant experience.

A real-life Disney castle — but truly so much more than that! ✨ I still couldn’t get enough of this place. Every corner feels like stepping into a fairytale. The guided tour is a must — make sure to book it early, as tickets sell out fast. No photos are allowed inside, but it’s absolutely worth it. Each room reflects incredible richness, elegance, and the artistic soul of King Ludwig II — his passion for theatre, music, and beauty shines through every detail. It’s about a 20-minute walk uphill from the ticket area, but they also offer bus services (check the timings!) and horse-drawn carriage rides for a more scenic way up. The path is a bit steep, but once you reach the top, the view and the castle itself make every step worth it. King Ludwig II was truly a dreamer — and walking through his creation feels like walking inside his imagination. Go see it — it’s magical, surreal, and simply unforgettable. 🌄💙
Amrtha R — Google review
The castle is located in a beautiful setting. Tickets may be bought online or in person (reservation recommended for peak season). There’s free shuttle from downtown Füssen to the ticket center. There’s plenty of paid parking. To get up to the castle you may hire a chariot or walk up for 30-40 minutes. The scenery is beautiful and it is worth the walk. During summer the path is shaded by the threes. Inside the castle there’s plenty of stairs to go up. I advise looking up if it is wheelchair accessible.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5-Star Review – Neuschwanstein Castle Parking at Platz 4 is very spacious and costs €12 for 6 hours, conveniently located right next to where you catch the bus up to the castle. The bus fare is €5 per adult round trip, and it’s a smooth ride with beautiful scenery along the way. At the top, the area is clear and open, perfect for walking or biking with stunning views all around. The trails are beautiful, offering several photo spots and breathtaking panoramas of the castle and the valley below. There’s also a small snack and souvenir shop at the top with plenty of space and clean bathrooms, making it an easy and comfortable stop before or after exploring. Overall, Neuschwanstein Castle is a magical experience — well worth the visit and the walk. The scenery alone makes it unforgettable!

When near Fussen and Schwangau Neuschwanstein Castle is a must. A beautiful 40 minute uphill walk will bring you there. You can take a shuttle or horse and buggy but the walk is doable if you like and are used to walking/hiking. We did not pay to go in but got good photos from many vantage points outside.
Leila S — Google review
You won't regret visiting here. It's beautiful on the outside but absolutely gorgeous on the inside. If you have trouble walking, definitely take the horse carriage up and/or down (costs money). The walk down is much easier. They have the cutest store after the tour and don't forget to check out the view outside near the bathrooms before leaving. You will not regret it!!

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Hohenschwangau Castle, a stunning Gothic-style summer residence of King Ludwig II, is located near the Pollat Gorge. The castle is being rebuilt in the authentic style of old German knights' castles and will feature habitable guest rooms with splendid views of the Sauling and the Tyrolean mountains. Nestled in a breathtaking landscape alongside Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau offers insight into the royal upbringing of King Ludwig II.
The castle is truly beautiful, offering picturesque views from a distance that allow you to capture its full grandeur. I recommend purchasing tickets online to save time. While photography is not permitted inside the castle, I believe the tour could be enhanced with more detailed information and exhibits about its history. In my opinion, the exterior of the castle is even more captivating than the interior tour. Overall, it was a good place to visit.

Definitely a must see castle. The grounds and the views are amazing. Unfortunately you cannot take photos of the interior. But nonetheless the interior doesn't disappoint either.

Just a short 30-minute walk from the world-famous Neuschwanstein lies Schloss Hohenschwangau, and we can genuinely recommend adding it to your visit. While Neuschwanstein often gets most of the attention, Hohenschwangau has a charm and authenticity all of its own. Set against rolling hills, peaceful forests, and a beautiful lake, the castle feels more intimate and lived-in, offering a fascinating contrast to King Ludwig II’s fairytale creation. Tickets can be bought in advance—something we recommend, especially during busier months—and guided tours are offered in several languages. The tour provides wonderful insight into the history of the Bavarian royal family and the important role this castle played in Ludwig’s childhood. Many rooms remain furnished just as they were, which makes the visit feel historically rich and surprisingly personal. Even if you decide not to join a tour, the area around Schloss Hohenschwangau is perfect for a leisurely stroll. The paths are easy to navigate, and the views of the lake and surrounding mountains are incredibly beautiful. It’s a calm and charming place to unwind, especially after the more intense and crowded experience of Neuschwanstein. Overall, we found Schloss Hohenschwangau to be a beautiful and worthwhile addition to the day—less crowded, full of history, and surrounded by stunning scenery. If you’re already in the area, it’s absolutely worth visiting both castles to get the full experience of this remarkable region.

I visited a lot of Ludwig’s castles and this one isn’t the most spectacular per se but it is a must see specially if you’re interested in his history. This is where he grew up and where his parents lived. The castle has a lot of history that you can learn during your visit. The visit is made with a guide but you have an audio guide in your own language during the tour. It is activated in each room by the guide and lasts a few minutes. Our tour guide was young lady with dark hair. I don’t remember her name but she was one of the best guides I’ve encountered in a museum. She was lovely, smiling, added additional informations during our visit and was gentle. We had a great time visiting the castle thanks to her. You can also visit the gardens for free if you want but you have to book a ticket to see the inside. Also up here you get a nice view over the Neuschwanstein.

Overall, visiting Hohenschwangau Castle is one of the must do things for any tourist in the area. Personally my visit was both meaningful and enjoyable. The scenery was beautiful, the history fascinating and the atmosphere peaceful. It offered a valuable look into the roots of Ludwig II’s life and imagination, making it a visit worth remembering. On a side note, it’s recommended to book in advance, park your car in parking number 4 and keep in mind that only guided tours are offered inside as well as that picture and videos aren’t allowed.

Even tough it's not probably as nice as Neuschwanstein I really enjoyed being inside and especially a look through the window at the end of the tour. Around the castle there are food stands where you can enjoy a hot chilly and some sausage with drinks.

I visited the yellow castle since the smaller white one was sold out. I was blown away by how amazing the artwork is within. It's unfortunate that pictures aren't allowed inside considering how inspiring the story was. I'd suggest that more people book the yellow castle to see and learn about the old rulers.

Rainy but who cares, coaster runs in rain or sunshine! Traveled half way across the world to ride this coaster that I saw on the travel channel years ago and it lived up to my expectations, highly recommend to do it with no brakes!

Experience was great. Although the coasters that went ahead were very slow and the coasters behind were also catching up fast so wasn't able to get the full adrenaline experience of the ride. Maybe can suggest to the operator to give more time interval gaps before he releases you so can enjoy the ride more.

Breitachklamm

Mentioned on

Hiking area
Nature & Parks
Breitachklamm is a must-see natural wonder in Oberstdorf, Germany. It's the deepest rock canyon in Central Europe and offers stunning views of raging white water in summer and frozen waterfalls in winter. The hike through the gorge takes about 1.5 hours and features well-maintained trails, wooden walkways, and bridges for safe crossing. Visitors can explore the visitor center with geology exhibits and enjoy breathtaking scenery from viewing platforms along the way.
This place is an absolute heaven! The entrance ticket costs €7.50 per person, and I highly recommend going as early as possible—the crowd is much smaller before 9:45 AM. After that, it gets quite busy, and you might have to wait in line for tickets. The trek itself is stunning, with beautiful scenery all along the way. There's just one challenging part—after the river ends, there’s a steep incline. If you’re not up for the climb, you can easily turn back at that point and still enjoy most of the experience.

This is an incredible place to visit. The walk in the gorge where you can see how high the water has been and how it cuts into the walls. Look up for some giant boulders caught above the gorge
Brian G — Google review
This is a fantastic gorge to be explored by everybody. The pathway is broad enough to have two big guys walk abreast. There are no stairs or steps until the exit, and it makes sense to transverse the gorge twice to see it from two sides. The entire path within the gorge is nicely surfaced with concrete and very sturdy so slips are unlikely. On weekends, thousands of people visit, so buying a ticket online is recommended.
Lars L — Google review
Paid 4 euros for the parking and about 7 to go in. You can see the place is being taken care of for the entrance price and the small hike is beautiful. I do recommend doing it a bit early though (around 10 AM was perfect for us), because it can become quite crowded.

Breitachklamm is an absolutely stunning natural wonder and a must-visit for anyone who loves hiking or simply enjoying the outdoors. The walking trails through the gorge are well-maintained and offer incredible views of the rushing stream below. You can feel the power of the water as it cascades through the narrow rock walls, creating a dramatic and refreshing atmosphere. The area around the stream is peaceful and beautifully green, with plenty of spots to stop, take photos, or just admire the scenery. Whether you’re looking for a short, easy walk or a longer hike connecting to nearby trails, Breitachklamm offers a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility. Word of caution - Be careful in some of the rocky areas, as the ceilings can be low and it’s easy to bump your head. Good shoes and a bit of caution make the walk much more enjoyable! Tickets cost around €7.50 and can be purchased conveniently at the reception counter or online in advance.

Beautiful river and waterfalls, but… Definitely be aware it’s a super touristy place. If you’re going with a big dog: the paths are very small and there’s people turning around and going back. Also there’s a rather paw unfriendly stair with gauze you have to climb if you follow the red route. 😬 I didn’t really enjoy visiting this place because it was crowded, just too many people constantly, everywhere. The staff at the restaurant at the entrance were friendly and the food was good! Nonetheless, it’s definitely an unique place.

Highly recommend. One of the most beautiful and gorgeous Gorges you will ever see. If you do it when it’s rainy it’s even more majestic. Rain makes the waterfall and experience more magical. 10/10 must do.
Hami Y — Google review
Nice gorge to go for a walk. I recommend coming very early since it gets really busy during the day.(Didn't forget to check the opening hours). With the ticket you can walk the gorge in both directions. So you can exit the gorge at the top and continue along the river and come back later to go back to the parking lot. I highly recommend continuing after the gorge and visiting one of the Hintere Engere Alpe (mountain restaurant).

Ski Arlberg (St. Anton, St. Christoph, Stuben)

Ski resort
Outdoor Activities
Ski & Snowboard Areas
Ski Arlberg, encompassing St. Anton, St. Christoph, Stuben, Lech, Zürs, Warth, and Schröcken offers over 125 miles of interconnected slopes with a vast lift and cable-car system. The area features the Run of Fame circuit with an impressive combined vertical drop and off-piste trails from Mount Valluga. After skiing, enjoy lively apres-ski scenes like at MooserWirt in St.
Very beautiful and big resort giving a lot of opportunities. Prices are high (ski pass, food and drinks on the slopes) but this is well known. Slops are medium difficult in general but good maintained. Some signs on the slopes could be improved a little bit. Villages around the resort are amazing and each of them are giving different look. No problem with parking anywhere. All slopes were open in February.
Paulwarsaw — Google review
Spectacular skiing. The resort is absolutely massive, we could barely make it from one side to the other in one day, if you spent a week here you would hardly be able to get to all of the pistes. The abundance of high speed lifts and gondolas also ensured that we essentially never had to wait to get in some wonderful skiing in a gorgeous location.
Cale O — Google review
Beautiful but NOT for beginners First of all the area is stunning, the scenery the buildings - everything is like something from an Alpine postcard. Every restaurant we ate in over a week long trip was fantastic, however expensive, with the Post and Hotel Krone being our favourites. Our hotel, Garni Schneider, was in a perfect location for the ski lifts and restaurants. One thing the resort overall is is missing is bars and a bit of nightlife. Now the important part, skiing. This is 100% not a resort for beginners. If you read some of the reviews at 3 stars and below you will see the same comments. I class myself as a beginner having learned on artificial snow slopes and then having been on two prior ski holidays to Morzine, France. In Morzine I was comfortable on ALL of the blue slopes and even managed to challenge myself on a couple of red slopes. In Oberlech I couldn’t do the blue slopes, or when I did some of the “easier” ones (210) I was not able to enjoy them. The run down to Lech town was very steep and by 2pm covered in moguls (see photos). There are also a lot of really experienced skiers there who will zoom past you on the blue slopes. Nothing at all against them, but it does make it even harder. There are other things to do like nice walks, gondola rides, tobogganing and St Anton is a nice little town not too far away. Another tip is to bring cash, anything under 10 Euros and they don’t accept card in Austria. Taxis and buses are cash only. If you are an experienced skier, you will love this place! I was jealous of all those making it look so easy! :-) If you’re not and you want to enjoy the skiing, don’t go. Lots of the reviews on websites will say that it is good for beginners, it’s definitely not. Also worth noting that there are no green runs in Austria.

Great ski area with fantastic slopes and a lot of offpiste area as well. Effectiv lifts so not much time waiting.
Werner J — Google review
One of the oldest and biggest ski resorts in Austria, comprising a total of 5 towns and their areas. You can tell it's old since some of the original buildings of the former villages are still standing. This is actually quite scenic, as is the whole area. St. Anton is also well known to tourists mainly due to international winter sports events so be prepared for bigger crowds during peak times. You'll find a big number of slopes of which many in my opinion are quite narrow for the mass of people going there. The pistes are nevertheless well groomed. Blue slopes can be rather steep already so be sure to have some experience before going. Food quality is OK, but expensive. The ski pass is one of the most pricy I bought, even parking in the towns is charged (when it's still free in most other resorts in Austria). Conclusion: as it goes for clothe brands and known tourist areas, you mainly pay a high price for the name. But you'll find similar or even better areas for a lower price in the same region. Unless you fancy the chic aprés-ski scene, then it's one of the on-vogue places to go (together with Ischgl and Obertauern).
TH3 T — Google review
Top reasons to go? Amazing ski area with modern infrastructure and some of the longest runs in the world. Quality restaurants and authentic mountain huts are everywhere for a nice lunch, schnapps or dinner. The town center of St Anton is, as expected, a little pricey but if you are on a budget there are still places where you can find some nice value. We stayed for a week and certainly did not run out of things to do for the first time...

Lech is Topnoch skiing area. Wide slopes, super groomed slopes and super good vibe in the restaurant. We really enjoyed it! It is true not a beginner friendly skiing slops.
Csaba B — Google review
Ski resort with famous name but the operation lacks compared to other ski resorts. It seems to me that when there is snow during the night it takes them too long to open. Also, when there is no operation, anybody will tell you the current status. We took ski bus to Stuben, they tell us that we have to take the ski bus to Lech. This ski bus schedule is once per hour and it just left. So we go back to the hotel to drive the car. 30 minutes later we check the ski lift status and ski lift is open. Terrible experience. I am not coming back. Summary: Pistes: 4* - can be challenging Operation: 1* Ski lifts: 3* - not the newest ones, some places are queued due to small capacity Food: 2* - overpriced compared to Sella Ronda (Lech and Zurs)

It says open u til 5pm. Arrived 447 at the lift and they said they are shut already. It is misleading information - if last up is 445 then opening hours should state 445. Better half of the bike park is closed and half of the village is in construction this year… would recommend to head to sölden instead. Shame as the new lift would make riding much more pleasant without having to manoeuvre every time not to damage forks and frames.

Nice views, good mtb-trails and if necessary the personal will load your bike on the chairlift. Be aware of the air slurping bicycle pump in the valley station (im shure it will be fixed soon :-) ). I then could inflate my tire in the nearby bikeshop. There are also biketools and a bikewashing station to use for free.

Bregenzer Festspiele

Festival
Sights & Landmarks
Bregenzer Festspiele is a must-visit event that takes place every second year, offering a stunning atmosphere and a great show. It features wonderful open-air operas like Madame Butterfly, providing an impressive performance in each act. The festival offers a unique Austrian experience with its outdoor dining options and top-rated restaurants serving Italian cuisine, pizza, and more. This cultural extravaganza is highly recommended for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the arts during the summer months in Bregenz.
Saw Der Freischütz at the Bregenzer Festspiele this July and it was absolutely breathtaking. The lake stage, the visuals, the music, everything was so powerful and beautifully done. I didn’t expect to get so emotional, but the story and performances really pulled me in. Even though it was 2 hours straight with no intermission, it never felt long. Such a unique and unforgettable experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Fatima S — Google review
You have to distinguish between the creative aspects of the Bregenzer Festspiele and the guest experience. The first is worthy of its reputation, the latter is amateurish. The stage, the singing, the costumes, the location are all beyond criticism. I've been four times and, even as someone with no interest in opera, the performance has always been a rewarding experience. Your enjoyment thereof is however undermined by neglected basics: the lack of toilets is laughable (allow 20 minutes of queueing for the gents); the hard, narrow plastic seats hurt within 45 minutes; the view is always seriously obstructed because the raking is too flat. By far the biggest flaw is the audio: it is quiet and unclear. The warning about phone use is loud and clear, but then the dialog/singing is indiscernible. Most guests are left reading the subtitles, from which random sentences are missing. Comparable outdoor stages better understand that what happens on stage is only part of the experience. So the Bregenzer Festspiele is a worthwhile experience, if you have realistic expectations - this is not simply a pleasurable night at the theater.
Graham B — Google review
I am visiting the festival next once every two years for the last 12 years and have never been disappointed. I would recommend to buy premium tickets that include a seat inside in case of the opera having to be moved due to bad weather. Also arriving early and exploring Bregenz beforehand is a good idea as Bregenz alone is worth a visit.
Thomas K — Google review
We visited “The Freischütz” by Carl Maria von Weber, which is considered a key work of the German romantic opera. We can highly recommend it: amazing, very elaborate decorations built on the lake, great music and singing, large cast, lots of special effects and overall an outstanding performance. The story takes place in a rural German village. Max, a young forester, must win a shooting contest to marry Agathe, the daughter of the head forester, Kuno. However, Max has lost his confidence after a series of failures. In desperation, he turns to Kaspar, another forester who has secretly made a pact with dark forces. Kaspar convinces Max to cast "magic bullets" in the haunted Wolf’s Glen at midnight. These bullets are supposed to never miss their target, but the last bullet is controlled by the devil. At the contest, Max fires his final bullet at a target meant for the competition — but the bullet, influenced by evil, instead aims at Agathe. Miraculously, she is saved by a sacred wreath she wears, and Kaspar is struck down instead. In the end, Max confesses his actions. Rather than being punished severely, he is given a year to prove his worth, after which he may marry Agathe. The opera blends elements of folklore, supernatural horror, love, and redemption, and is known for its vivid atmosphere, especially the eerie Wolf’s Glen scene.
Anna V — Google review
A beautiful place and a fantastic venue, I am here most years for the opera and it never fails to enchant me. It's a very special place and a beautiful lake to go with, I would visit every year and every year again. Food is superb, try the local beer Moran, wine is good value and very tasty, you should come to Bregenz and have a fantastic time, 2 to 3 days is perfect. Enjoy
Val K — Google review
This has been on my bucket list since I found out about an amphitheater on Lake Constanz! It did not disappoint! Performance: We saw "Der Freischütz" (The Marksman) by Carl Maria von Weber. While it was in German, the story was easy to follow, except perhaps the ending, which was unexpected for me. The actors were amazing, especially when working in a stage with water throughout. Staging: The star of the show! A stage built on a lake with a lake on it. Dilapidated buildings illustrate the young Agathe's desperation to go anywhere else. The staging added to the morose nature of the setting. The use of fire and water defines the infernal struggle going on with Max as he tries to win Agathe's hand. Seating: Stage on the lake, seating on the land. It still had an intimate feeling with 7,000 seats. With the slope of the seating, there shouldn't have been a bad sight line. Although it can be a little intimidating for some. Therefore, if you are uncomfortable with height, choose seats in the lower rows. Another tip would be to bring a pad for your seat. Sitting for two or more hours on weather-resistant plastic seats can be uncomfortable. Theater: The theater was nicely laid out. The restrooms are clean. The lobby is well designed with easy access to amenities. The after show bars provided a nice area to discuss the show. It included special drinks for the festival! I was more than satisfied with my visit and enjoyed it immensely!

Housed in the historic Bauhaus building of the former harbor railway station, this museum is dedicated to showcasing the history of airship travel through an extensive collection of over 1500 unique items and historical multimedia resources. One of its main highlights includes the partial restoration of LZ 129 Hindenburg.
Wow! It was a very educational museum! I had always wondered how airships were made and how they worked, and this museum taught me everything! They even had a model of one of the airships, it really felt like I was in one! It wasn’t too crowded, and there were a lot of very cool models and pictures to observe. They had some artifacts from the crash as well. I will definitely be coming back.

If you're here in St Gallen, this place is an absolute must-visit. For 18 CHF, you get access to the library, the vaulted cellar and an exhibition space. Having said that, the library is still the star attraction. Before entering the library, you will need to put on slippers over your shoes. There doesn't seem to be any time limit to stay in the library, so you can always wait till the library empties out to catch great photos of the library. In particular, I loved the look of the book cases, but I was a little weirded out by the display of a mummy in the corner, which we cannot photograph.
Samuel S — Google review
We walked in around one hour before closing and therefore we could only visit the library. You would need to put on cotton-made shoeson top of your own shoes to prevent damages to the wooden floor. The library itself is indeed stunning. Although I could not read any of the books but the decor, the drawings, and all of the details are just delightful to see. A dead mummy is placed inside the library. From what I could tell it is still preserved in good conditions; but if you are scared you could always skip that corner of the library.

Mere words cannot describe this library, the museum, and the adjacent church. It is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. You’re looking at books that are 500 years old, as a geographer I loved the globe from 1530, documents from Charlemagne, and much more. Danke für alles !

I imagine every visitor's dream is to be alone in this library for a few hours, randomly picking books from unlocked shelves. It's a small room that takes you back in time offering filmesque experience that can partially be spoiled with too many visitors inside. Maybe a suggestion for the library to either limit time of visit or the number of visitors per group for better experience.
Boris M — Google review
Very beautiful library room. Surely worth a visit when you‘re already in St. Gallen. I was there on a weekday with very few visitors in the afternoon so I had no queues and at one point the rooms were almost empty. You have to wear slippers on your shoes, which they provide, but it is well worth preserving such a beautiful room. If you have a Raiffeisen Card, you get the entry to three locations for free, which is nice.

the island is very pretty and has a lot to offer, many different kinds of nature sections and lots of things for kids around/ food places etc but was quite expensive (especially because i didn’t have long to stay which is not an issue of the place) but i could see how it could be kind of worth it as a whole day activity

The island is incredibly beautiful — everything is in bloom and so well maintained! However, we were really disappointed to find out (a bit too late) that the butterfly house has different opening hours from the rest of the park. We arrived just 10 minutes after it closed and sadly missed it. It would be great if the timing was clearer on the map or signs.

I can bet it is the most beautiful places I have visited. For the tulips, instead of visiting Keukenhof, this is a better place. Surrounded by nature, play gyms for kids, animals where kids can even feed the goats was a holistic experience. We went with our 2months old baby and it was quite smooth. There were ramps everywhere. Accessibility was not a challenge. The tulips were beautiful. There were other flower exhibitions as well indoors. A must visit for everyone!!!!! The connectivity via ships is also very smooth and timely. We went from Meersberg to Mainau.

Buy tickets before. Too crowded, even though they work with time slots. Very good for small kids, not for adults. The app with animal recognition doesn't work well. It's announced as in German and in English, but only German is available in the app. Bistro is good! All text is only in German!

Disappointing. It is so overpriced for the variety of species you can see there. There is nothing special at all. It’s so small and that I really couldnt believe that was all. Doesn’t make sense to drive if you live far away. And definitely not worth the price you pay. You can visit much better places for this price.

If you are with little kids, it's the perfect place to spent a couple of hours.

perfectly presented aquariums, large variety of species, interesting lecture about penguins, small museum about nature
Ari F — Google review
I had an okay experience at the aquarium. While there were lots of fish to see, I felt bad for the penguins because their space seemed quite small. It was also pretty loud with so many people around, which made it a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it was nice to see the variety of marine life, but I wish the conditions for the animals were better.

Museums
Park
The Swiss Science Center Technorama is an expansive and airy center that offers a wide range of indoor and outdoor interactive displays with various scientific themes. Visitors can immerse themselves in the interactive exhibits, which cater to all ages, from young children to seniors. The center allows guests to touch and engage with most of the displays, providing a fantastic experience for everyone. Additionally, there are specific experiments conducted by trained staff members.
This is one of the best museums I have ever been. The ticket price is totally worth it! It is literally for everyone from 1 till 100 years, lot of fun, games, activities and learning along the way! Been there twice, and definitely will go the third time! While planning the day at the museum, plan at least 4-5 hours. You can have your backpack with you, so water and snacks is also a good idea.

Amazing Day In an Incredible Museum On a rare day when my children were off school (but all other schools were open) we visited Technorama and had an amazing day. There were only a few visitors, but enough to seem alive and the weather was perfect for visiting the outside area. The museum itself is so well made and organized. The number of engaging exhibits and well-done live shows/demonstrations will keep people of all ages busy all day. Special recognition goes to the restaurant staff for the freshly made food and the extremely friendly interaction during our lunch. We waited years for the children to be old enough to appreciate the museum - we won't wait so long before our next visit.
Robert M — Google review
It’s so big, hours of entertainment for the kids in all different science categories with hand on experiment exhibits. There’s also a restaurant on site, plus an outdoor area with more exhibits. We spent 3.5 hours and didn’t get to do the outside area before closing, and we weren’t super slow going through the exhibits either.
Julia L — Google review
This is hands down the best science museum that I’ve ever been to - everything was hands-on and interactive and really snuck in the science in a way that makes learning enjoyable. We spent almost 5 hours exploring the space with a 4 year old and could have easily spent more. The food in the cafeteria was pretty good, and I liked that you paid for the pasta by weight so you could take a smaller portion and not waste food. 10/10 way to spend a rainy day

Very interesting place. Perfect for kids in school age. Easily you can spend complete day or even more discovering different subjects of science.

I love this museum. The kids enjoy it as well. The only two downsides are: it is loud and expensive. You can wear headphones against the noise and use an SBB voucher if you have a Swisspass. You should bring your own food. There is a nice picnic area. You can spend 5 hours here easily. The museum is best for kids between 6 to 14. Plan well for the labs and bring 2 CHF or 2 EUR for a fun game at the door to the outside.

Water park complex with indoor & outdoor pools, giant slides & spa with sauna & massage treatments.
First, it was a lot of fun. My 6 year old loved it, the slides were varied and well organized. You can take a slide to go pick up a tube for other slides. Secondly, I lost my shoes there and after I reported the loss, they mailed them back.

It was overall good, clean. Sauna is enough, cosy and clean too, stuff is kind. Wellen - Pool is great, our kid wanted to play just there. In the middle of the day they even cleaned. if you need some rest,hard to find a place. But the building itself is little for more resting place. Restaurant is strange, make for yourself food is not our favourite, for this we found overpriced. But other Thermalbads have similar prices. Here you find actually 2. Garderobe is clean and enough, badge system is normal and easy to use. Honestly, I did not find mold or ugly things, we were afraid because of others comments, but it was a pleasant surprise. Slides are okay, we don't like them, but it's personal thing. We wanted to try, if we like it or not. :D Place itself is cool for this, recommended. From easy to freakin fast you will find something for sure. 4 star because of restaurant. Otherwise overall good, clean with kind stuff .

We had a great time! The park was clean, well organized for the slides, and lots of fun. The rides are exciting, and the wave pool is one of the best we’ve been to in terms of wave size not setting. The saltwater pool is super warm and relaxing. The color-coded slides are a great guide: blue ones are easy, orange are fun, and red can be quite intense — you definitely need to brace yourself! We did them all with our 7-year-old daughter, who loved every minute. Kids seem to have a slightly smoother ride on the red slides since they’re lighter. Something they can do better: arrival could be better organized — space is limited, and while there’s an automated machine, the process could be clearer. If you’re visiting with children, look for the family changing rooms; they offer much more space and make things easier.

Had a great time Got in after 6 PM and only paid 33.- CHF and a extra 6.- Francs for the wellness area. 3 or 4 saunas and there are special saunas with „Aufguss“. Small fitness Center is included in the wellness area. 3 or 4 different bath outside that are 31 to 33 Celsius. And about 6 watersides and 2 of em are actually tricky even if your in good shape. Recommend Alpamare if your near it or on rainy day Cheers 😃🙏🏼🍀 Adam

Rhine Falls

Mentioned on 
29 lists 
Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Rhine Falls, also known as Rheinfall in German, is the largest waterfall in Europe, located along the Rhine River in Switzerland. The falls are 150m wide and 23m high and have been a source of inspiration for artists like Turner. Visitors can take boat trips, explore viewing platforms, and join guided tours to fully experience this natural wonder. One popular viewpoint is from the walls around Laufen Castle, offering striking views of the falls.
Absolutely breathtaking! The waterfalls in Switzerland are like something out of a postcard – powerful, majestic, and surrounded by stunning natural beauty. The sound of the rushing water combined with the fresh mountain air makes the experience unforgettable. The area is well-maintained, easy to access, and perfect for both nature lovers and photographers. Definitely a must-see if you’re visiting Switzerland! 🇨🇭
Vilma D — Google review
Stunning place, absolutely amazing. Even though it was a rainy morning, the view over the falls and around was breathtaking. I bought boat ride tickets online, but I couldn't use them because our bus tour arrived too early and we only stayed for one hour. There is a very pleasant promenade with benches to rest on, multiple viewing platforms, a couple of gift shops, and several toilet facilities.
FLnurseER1 — Google review
It is a beautiful waterfall. I came to it with the knowledge that it is Europe's largest and most powerful waterfall but when I saw it I was not impressed at all. Compared to the major waterfalls in other continents, it is not that large or powerful. But it is beautiful. And the walkway that leads to it is fine. There is plenty of water and it is so beautifully blue. The foamy water under the waterfall is nice to see. And there are quite a few waterbirds there such as gulls.
Dr G — Google review
The Rhine Fall offer a truly spectacular natural experience. We have visited several times and we loved it everytime. Until now, we have always chosen the entrance via Laufen Castle, which features a panoramic trail and a viewing platform situated halfway down. A staircase leads directly to the base of the falls, and after passing through a short tunnel carved into the rock, visitors can admire the waterfall from an impressive side vantage point. Watching the immense volumes of water cascade downward is endlessly captivating — a sight that draws us back time and again. I can also recommend to enjoy the boat ride to the Fall. It‘s a great experience!
Stormborn — Google review
Absolutely breathtaking! The view of Rheinfall is simply amazing—powerful, majestic, and unforgettable. Whether you're standing on the viewing platform or taking a boat ride close to the falls, the experience is incredible. Nature at its finest!
YippieYaYa — Google review
A wonderful creation of nature and if you are in Zurich i would recommend having a visit to Rhine falls. It is easily accessible via train and there is a train station that gets you right to the viewing point of rhine falls. You have to buy a ticket to enter the falls which was around 5CHF at the ticket vending machine located there. No need to prebook the tickets. Then you have to take some steps down thus a small walk will take you to the viewing platform of this huge waterfall. You will feel the mist as the water power is really great at the viewing platform. There are several boat services which you can hop on to on an extra cost and will take you closer to the falls.
Uvini R — Google review
A must-visit Swiss landmark! Plan at least half a day, walk down from the castle to the waterfall, enjoy the view at various view points, take a boat tour with an audio guide, have a bite, walk back around the waterfall and over the bridge. Visit after a heavy rain when the waterfall has lots of water. Try to come during the week when it’s less busy. There is a little tourist train going around the waterfall and showing some of Schaffhausen. Very easily accessible by car or by train.

Located in Zurich, Switzerland, Zoo Zürich is a renowned animal conservation facility that has been welcoming visitors since 1929. The zoo boasts an impressive collection of over 370 animal species living in carefully designed habitats. From the Lewa Savana to the Masoala Rainforest and the Kaeng Krachan Elephant Park, visitors can explore diverse natural environments and observe animals living as close to their natural habitats as possible.
This was one of the best zoos I've seen in Europe. They have a wide variety of animals, including baby snow leopards. Very cool! They also had penguins. The place also had plenty of places to eat and relax, as well as many bathrooms. Definitely recommend.

Really impressed by the Zurich zoo. It's a very large space with panoramic views, plenty of amenities and carefully designed enclosures for the animals that give them plenty of space to explore and hide. The rainforest dome with its tree canopy walk is a highlight, as are the snow leopards. The leopardess had three cubs in spring 2025, and watching them play was absolutely delightful. The zoo has a great balance of large animals (lions, giraffes, llamas, kangaroos,....) and small animals (fish, insects, tree frogs), all sensitively housed and explained. You could easily spend a whole day there. The setting is hilly, so it does take some stamina to walk through. It's only 15 minutes by tram from central Zurich. A great choice for a tourist on a Monday when the museums are closed.
James G — Google review
The zoo itself it's very user friendly, it has food stands on the paths, the food is very expensive though. Some of the animals look depressed, specially the elephants. Other than that, it's a beautiful experience, walking outdoors and enjoying the company of your family or your special ones
Diana L — Google review
It was a huge zoo with lots of cool stuff. Loved that the animals had sprawling enclosures. But many of the animals were nowhere to be found, with no explanation or signage. We'd walk a mile+ with the kids to see the lions or gorillas and discover they're not there that day?? It was also incredibly crowded. We went on a random Wednesday day in August and the line to buy tickets for anyone who hadn't bought online was very long.
Shell — Google review
Nice place, you can tell they take well care of the animals, it was also clean and had many WC on the way. It is a big area to cover, better go with time (3-4 hrs if with children). It has many places to buy snacks and some restaurants with playground too. Service is very friendly. You can download the App and have a realtime map. We will sure visit again.

Really enjoyed our trip to the zoo, a great day out for adults and children. Lots of great animals, we saw the snow leopards and the three cubs, tigers, elephants, rhinos, giraffes etc. Kids zoo was a lot of fun, you can climb in to a lot of the enclosures and pet the animals if they come over to you. Lots of the animals have some of the best enclosures we have seen in comparison to other zoos. Toilets were very clean and there were lots available. Even when our child was stung by a wasp, someone was available to help quickly which was really appreciated. Food was OK, some places didn't have great options but others did. Gift shop was nice, didn't feel over priced depending on what you were wanting. Would recommend booking online to avoid waiting in the queue for tickets if you have young children.

Steakhouse Old Town is a rustic destination in the Old Town neighborhood of Zurich, nestled along the Limmat River. The area offers stunning river-facing vantage points and promenades, providing a glimpse into the city's vibrant energy and picturesque sunsets. Exploring this charming locale is an enriching experience, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in Swiss culture, history, and urban life.
Service excellent and very attentive from the moment we walked in. If you like steak you are at the right place. It’s all cooked on the stone. We had the Swiss Sirloin which was very tender Recommended
Bruce M — Google review
Like many other reviews of this place - great steak, poor service. We arrived towards the closing of this restaurant around 10:45pm but were welcomed in after the waiter checked the time. This changed quickly however when we ordered - the staff hurried us out the restaurant by packing up every single table around us, moving our items off of an adjacent table to close up, and even asking to give us our bill rather than the other way round. Did not feel like well looked-after customers when many other bars and restaurants in the same street were full of patrons at this time and not rushing them at all. The steak and quality of food was brilliant, but the service needs a lot of improvement else would not return again.
Ruby B — Google review
We visited Steak House Old Town without ordering any beef, and overall, the experience was just average. Chicken Breast: Unfortunately, this was a letdown. It was quite dry and tough to chew, lacking the tenderness you'd expect. Grilled Salmon: Decent, but nothing memorable. It was cooked fine, though not particularly flavorful. Duck: Also just okay. It didn’t stand out, but it wasn’t bad either. Sides: The sides were the highlight of the meal. The potato with sour cream was excellent—creamy and well-seasoned. The spinach was fresh and tasty, and the fried sweet potato was crispy and satisfying. Soup: We tried the coconut soup. It was rich and creamy, but the coconut flavor was overpowering, making it a bit too intense for our taste. Service was fine, and the ambiance was cozy, but based on the dishes we tried, we wouldn’t rush back. Perhaps the beef options are better, given it's a steakhouse.

Best steak I've ever had! While walking along the street In Zurich to find somewhere for dinner we happened upon this restaurant where we could smell the mouthwatering steak before seeing it. A quaint little restaurant with a lovely outside seating area where you cook your steak on a hot stone.. having been on a train all day from Vienna we were ravenous so decided to go for the Tomahawk for 2 and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The most amazing juicy steak we have ever had!!! And even though the steak by itself was more than enough for 2 people.. the complimentary sides of veg and rosemary potatoes were incredible! Even though the food was sensational the service outshone it, never once did our glasses get slightly empty and the staff were incredible and so helpful with any questions asked about Zurich in general! Could not recommend this place more! Definitely worth a visit!!

Basler Münster

Mentioned on

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Basler Münster, also known as Basel Minster, is a stunning Gothic-style Protestant cathedral with origins dating back to the 9th century. Its red sandstone walls, colorful roof tiles, and twin towers make it an iconic landmark in Basel. The cathedral's construction spanned several centuries and features a mix of Romantic and Gothic styles. Destroyed in an earthquake in 1356, the impressive structure was rebuilt and converted into a Reformed Protestant Church.
Fantastic views from the top of Basel Munster! It costs 6 CHF to go to the top and there is an opportunity to get magnificent views out at different levels as well as a two towers! The cathedral itself is beautiful and I would recommend a walk around before heading up the towers!
Ben S — Google review
Definitely worth the visit, the building is beautifully crafted. If you walk behind the building you will have an excellent view overlooking the River. Lots of people were having picnics and relaxing here.
Mrs P — Google review
Solo travelers are not allowed to climb the towers, for suicide prevention reasons. You can find another tourist and ask to accompany them, but without the employee seeing this. Don't let them know you are strangers. There's a small fee to climb the towers and it's well worth it. Basel Minster was built between the 11th and 16th centuries in a blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles. After the 1356 earthquake, it was significantly rebuilt incorporating Gothic elements such as pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and large stained-glass windows. The cathedral is made of red sandstone and is notable for its two main towers, St. George’s and St. Martin’s, and its patterned tile roof. The Minster served as the Catholic cathedral until the Reformation in 1529, after which it became a Reformed Protestant church. The Gallus Gate at Basel Minster is the oldest Romanesque figure portal in the German-speaking world, built around 1185. In the tympanum is Christ as Judge of the World, accompanied by Peter and a donor figure, while the lintel below shows the Parable of the Ten Virgins. During the Reformation in Basel (1529), iconoclasm took place at Basel Minster as part of the city’s shift from Catholicism to Protestantism. Religious images, statues, and altars that were seen as idolatrous were removed or destroyed. The interior today remains relatively bare compared to its original medieval design.

Had a free walk around then spotted people paying to go up the towers. We tried this for a small charge and it's well worth the steep steps to go to the 3 levels available. Bit tight at times depending on how many people go up but numbers are controlled.

Codrin G — Google review
Basel Minster is absolutely worth a visit! I’ve climbed several church towers across Switzerland, but this one had the narrowest spire staircase I’ve ever squeezed through! It’s a bit of a tight spiral toward the top, but that only adds to the adventure. Once you reach the viewing platform, you’re rewarded with panoramic views of Basel, the Rhine, and even into France and Germany on a clear day. The cathedral itself is beautifully maintained, with intricate stonework and a peaceful courtyard. It’s a perfect mix of charm, challenge, and postcard-worthy scenery. Don’t miss it!

Established in 1874, Zoo Basel is the oldest zoo in Switzerland and a must-visit attraction. Known as "Zolli" by locals, it houses a diverse range of animals including gorillas, snow leopards, lions, elephants, giraffes, and chimpanzees. The well-maintained park offers a pleasant summer stroll while the animal houses and vivarium are popular during winter.
A compact zoo by size but full of animals. It's way easier to get through this than the one in Zurich if you're with small kids. The aquarium is gorgeous!

This zoo os great with kids. The surounding are made with so many details in mind, everything is green when you walk around. My kids and I loved it. There is great food stations too, amany animals. Especially the aquarium part is super big and nice too. The only downside, its in the middle of the city of Basel, a little hard to get too.

Love love this place- I went pretty late (4-6pm). Although I skipped the crowds, some of the animals were already in their enclosures (not in exhibit), but it didn’t detract from my joy of being there. Loved the vivarium, farm animals, snow leopard, flamingos, meerkats, and penguins. I would have loved to be able to see the new hippo baby though :(.

It's a very strange and beautiful place. They let the penguins walk freely in the zoo. However, the path was very clean. The staff there were very kind. Everything was good. I was there for 6 hours and I didn't want to leave at all. It was very enjoyable to be with the animals. I wish they were free in the wild, but the animals are having fun there too. The animals are definitely happy there. I recommend you to go there to enjoy being with nature.
