Pure magic! This museum is fun! I’m a sucker for a creepy fairytale but that’s not all you get . This is an interactive experience- all of your senses will light up. Thank you!

Interactive and fun if you like fairy tales. Quite informational about the two brothers and their life and work. Info plaques also in English

Great museum about Grimm brothers. If you’re a fan of fairy tales this is the place to be visited.

An enjoyable experience. For the few negative reviews I’ve seen, I would recommend that you do some browsing about the brothers Grimm so you have some idea of what they did besides collect fairy tales before arriving. We enjoyed working our way through the exhibits. I saw a review noting that conversations with a security guard was a highlight. I think we meet him, and that was fun talking to him.

We took a train from Frankfurt to see the museum. Grimmwelt does an excellent job of highlighting the scholarly aspects of the Grimm brothers work. My spouse mentioned she had no idea about the amount of work the Grimm brothers were engaged in. Grimmwelt goes far beyond retelling fairy tales.

Very interesting and knowledgeable exhibitions ( including the special exhibition event). I thought it was going to be about the fairytales of the Brother Grimm. But it was a lot more than that! It was about the development of the German dictionary and much more!

The permanent displays focused a LOT on the German language and the Grimm Brothers contribution to it. Despite a rather bland topic, the displays were neat, and I appreciate the German language a little more from it! There was also an area for the fairy tales, and a "forest," more geared towards kids. There was a special exhibition when I was there called "Imaginarium" - the extraordinary world of Czech traveling and puppet theatre. This was actually pretty AMAZING! I've never seen things like this in a museum, they were interactive, and it really made me feel like a big, happy kid, turning all the wheels, handles, and levers and seeing what each display did! This could be a very popular museum by itself and I hope it finds a permanent home! In any case, visit Grimmwelt while Imaginarium is there, if you can! Finally, the cafe was EXCELLENT! Lots of kuchen (cakes) to choose from and, quite possibly, the best cappuccino I've ever had! I tried to tell the barista, but I don't think she understood my English. Hopefully, she'll read this!

Food was okay at the event. Acustics of the place is rather bad, as when too many people are inside it is similar to being in a small bar with lots of people being loud. Service was nice, everyone was helpful.

Good food and nice place

You may think the cappuccino is good here…but it’s coffee machine cappuccino. No barista no taste. Disappointed.

Lovely terrace with in and outside seating (Orangerie!) with a view into the Park. Friendly staff, moderate prices. Perfect ambiance in the Fulda parks

Beautiful location, stroppy waiter, decent hot chocolate, beer not to our taste. Lovely place to sit on a sunny day.

Waiters were a bit sluggish the vibe was chilled

This place used to be a lot better

Beautiful cathedral and heard an organ and choir sing for Bachfest

What more interesting is no entrance fee. Peaceful and the architecture is truly beautiful

Absolutely amazing architecture really beautiful cathedral. Only disappointing thing is wasn’t able to view the inside but that is because I arrived in the evening although the view of the cathedral at night is also spectacular and even from the outside truly worth a visit very nice.

This cathedral is massive and must have really intimidated people back in the day. I've never seen anything like it, though someone told me there's another large one in another German city. This cathedral dominates this small city. Pictures don't capture the humongous size; you have to see it in-person to get the full effect. It communicates power. The inside is beautiful, and in one area people pray and reflect, making it a peaceful place to visit.

This church has so many architectural details from the outside and from inside as well. The construction is huge and is a landmark for the city of Erfurt. It could be worth visiting once, however I noticed that they were closing the gates going to the inside yard of the church in the evening.

Amazing cathedral, very much worth the trek up the stairs. When I visited I was also lucky enough to experience a choir sing in there as well. Was magical!

Erfurt Cathedral of St. Mary is an impressive Gothic church that towers above the Domplatz. Its history dates back to the 8th century, with the current structure mainly built in the 14th and 15th centuries. The cathedral is especially famous for the Gloriosa, the largest free-swinging medieval bell in the world. Inside, visitors are captivated by vibrant stained glass windows, ornate altars, and the magnificent Romanesque crypt.

Amazing how they managed to build this beautiful bridge with the shops and apartments so many years ago before there was any modern machinery! The fact that it is still standing after all these decades is a marvel! I loved the whole experience!

Very lovely views and lots of unique history here. Definitely worth a visit.

Really cool that one can be walking down the street without even realizing being on the Merchant's bridge. Definitely take a moment to walk outside and see the bridge then walk back through - really cool. There are a lot of little plazas around to stop and relax with a lot of little ice cream shops within a small area.

The Krämerbrücke in Erfurt is the longest bridge in Europe that is completely covered with inhabited buildings. It spans the Gera River and connects Benediktsplatz with Wenigemarkt in the heart of the old town. Small shops, galleries, and artisan workshops line the bridge, giving it a charming medieval atmosphere. It is one of Erfurt’s most famous landmarks and a popular spot for both locals and visitors.

Its okay. It is a bridge with houses build above it. Maybe it was special to many people but for me its simple

Interesting sure to see with old houses on a bridge.. lots of coffee and ice cream shops around.

Beautiful fotostopp wirh lots of unique shops

Great experience, but the guide tour was only in German and the recordings were much sporter than the guides speaches which made the kids a bit unrested since none of us understood anything that was being said. What was really good was the Fairy garden above the 'grotten'. Recommend big time!

A wonderful spot to visit in Thüringen. Well maintained and presented. The museum also does a great job in giving the details about the work of miners of the old times. Highly recommended!!

Worth a visit once. For those nerds, who're interested in history and mining science, please do go. Everything is very well preserved from the past and it's quite amidst the nature as well. One thing to note: For those who don't understand Deutsch/German, you might need to translate everything. The government must promote this place as it's got lots of history and every information should be made available in English too.

Saalfeld Feengrotten on Halloween was something magical. The Adams Family theme added an extra layer of charm to the already fascinating caves. From intricate decorations to well-thought-out details, the ambiance was perfect for the occasion. The staff's commitment to the theme and their enthusiastic engagement with visitors enhanced the overall experience. The pumpkin arrangements throughout the venue were not only visually appealing but also showcased a creative touch that added to the festive spirit. The guided tour was informative, providing insights into the geological wonders of the caves while maintaining a spooky and entertaining atmosphere. The attention to detail in every aspect of the Halloween setup demonstrated the dedication of the organizers. It was a memorable experience, making my visit to Saalfeld Feengrotten on Halloween truly special.

An amazing tourist spot to visit in Thuringia. The tour inside the cave was fantastic (although you'll need German to understand) but it was very amazing 😍 you can also taste the water coming from the cave.

The Feenweltchen is good made. From the entrance door (after scanned your ticket), the entrance house will give you feeling that you are entering fairy world 🙂. The first stop, you can get Face or Body painting by the Fairy. Then from there you can explore the Fairy World. Totally recommend for toddler and bigger kids.

This was a great place for the kids to visit, but the grottos and their stalactite formations weren't as impressive as other cave systems I have seen. In all, there are 3 or 4 small caves with fairly small stalactite and stalacmite formations located in a disused slate mine. What it lacks in spelunking wonders, it makes up in entertainment for the kids. The underground tour was informative, but is only conducted in German. An audio tour headset is available for other languages. The fairy adventure park consumed another hour or so, but will likely suit kids to about 7 or so only. Not bad, but not sure the considerable drive was worth it.

It was great experience. For a moment one can feel the style and routine of old time

Interesting place from history. Very big and give many interesting information inside. In 2026 , they will close for the renovation so when you have a chance. Try it :) ticket costs 13 Euro in 2025

The Goethe museum costs pp € 13 pp. The Wohnung was to us the most interesting part. The other part of the museum contains many objects owned by Goethe among which several portraits. That part of the museum is definitely interesting but also has a somewhat hagiographic nature.

I really enjoyed this experience, especially having the app to lead you through the house was amazing. Genius to have it play when you hold your phone up to your ear! Also, the backyard was extremely beautiful and it really made you feel like you walked in the same house as Goethe, it was beautiful.

Goethe's House, or Goethes Wohnhaus, is a captivating museum that offers an in-depth look into the life of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The museum provides comprehensive insights into Goethe's personal and professional life, with well-curated exhibits that include original manuscripts, personal belongings, and detailed descriptions of his contributions to literature and science. The historical ambiance of the house, combined with the extensive information provided, makes it an enriching experience for visitors. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in German literature and the life of one of its most influential figures.

Very interesting life and he had a big house with many different rooms with specific purposes. Take the audioguide for sure, which is included in the ticket price. 1:30 to 3:00 to complete it depending how fast you go.

Amazing insights into the life of Goethe. Such a beautiful and inspiring space. Well presented and updated with video installations and the incredible wealth of the attached museum.

This park is very big and beautiful! Perfect place for a picnic or a walk, spending time with friends or on your own with a book. It’s also very pleasant to ride a bike here. The stone bridge and the view on the castle are my personal favorites in this park.

The park is wide and wonderful. There is a lot of nature, of wild animals and it is well-kept. There was a nice local food stand by the bridge and, most importantly, you could lose yourself in the green around. Only negative thing was a lack of WC facilities.

It's good place to enjoy nature in Weimar. Cool, calm, peaceful and a place where you can be stress free.

Relaxing environment. Well maintained.

A big park with small river running along the side with just a few mins walk to city Center. Beautiful and peaceful with interesting spots to check out. Should be even more beautiful and refreshing in Sommer. We love it there.

It was a very nice park. There are statues and different structures in every corner. I liked to have a really long walk around the river Ilm.

Nice park to relax or walk/cycle. Nothing spectaculair about it but it is pretty. Not very clean on some places and doesn't look very maintained.

A beautifully restored and maintained library representing the decadence and thirst for knowledge of years past. It’s a great location and not too far away from the main shopping district in the old city. Entry is for a fee of roughly €10 per person and kids are free. You will be required to wear clumsy feeling slippers over your shoes to protect the old floorboards. There are set times when tours take place so maybe check the website before going. The library itself is a wonderful display of craftsmanship and eloquence. There are also many side attractions apart from the main room. The building also plays host to some travelling exhibitions and is also located above the more modern city library. There are small gifts available and plenty informative displays. I wouldn’t recommend small kids as they may get bored and make a lot of noise.

You have to buy tickets weeks in advance online if you plan to visit. We bought ours about a month in advance since the number of visitors per day is very limited. The visit itself was very disappointing. For the price of 8 euro per person you can only enter the Rococo library which turned out to be very very small. Everything is fenced and you can not go anywhere except walk a few steps further on the main aisle. Upper floor and all other side aisles are not accessible! There is no information regarding the library to read on spot! If you want to learn something, you have to have the Weimar tourist app pre installed on your phone and have headphones. The most ridiculous thing of all was the huge slippers we were given prior to entering. They are all one size (probably size 47-48) and women and kids with smaller feet have a big chance of tripping and falling down. This is absolutely ridiculous for the price of 8 euro! I do not recommend a visit! If you have 8 euro to spare, I recommend a visit to the Neues Weimar Museum instead which is much more interesting.

High entry price for such a small amount of time to be spent there. Also everything is only in German. You don’t see anything more than the main pictures. You can’t go upstairs either. I wouldn’t recommend unless you are a big bibliophile Tickets are timed. I got lucky and got in on the next round since I was solo

The library is worth visiting due to its historical significance and excellent maintenance. However, the front desk receptionist was quite cold and somewhat rude, which was disappointing. It would be great if they could be friendlier, considering it's a public place with many international visitors.While I understand language limitations, it's challenging when the staff doesn't speak English and is reluctant to communicate. In a tourist spot, especially a UNESCO heritage site, having bilingual staff would be beneficial. A warm and welcoming demeanor would also make a big difference.

If you like books, art, history and knowledge this place will enchant you. Yes it is small, yes you can’t visit many rooms, yes the libraries in Dublin and Coimbra are more beautiful, yes €8 can seem a lot, still, it is a place of historical importance and if you allow that fact to sink in (Goethe and Schiller both stood there, where you will stand) you’ll be as touched as I was.

If you are a student in Jena or Weimar don’t miss out on this gem. Use your Thoska card to register and take out books. Not only is it a gorgeous study space, but they have a huge selection of English books too. I do a lot of research on line, however this library has books available that were not available the Thulb in Jena.

The room is really beautiful, it's worth seing once in my opinion. Because of the system to buy a ticket for a 30 minutes slot, I thought the amount of people visiting at once would be limited. It was actually very packed so couldn't move around as freely as I would have wished (on a sunday around 11-12h) The employees were all friendly. Maybe a visit is more pleasant during the week days.

Thank you for this wonderful experience! Many castles we have seen, but in this case, this is one of the few examples, a successful collaboration. Art (porcelain museum) and history (castle and its reconstruction). Compact but at the same time filled with interesting details at every point). Special mention should be made of the weather, which allowed us to walk around the neighborhood, take wonderful photos, relax and warm up! Views and surroundings!

In the village there are no parking places, but at the entry there is a paid one and then a free one. You have to walk up a bit. The view is nice. The exhibitions inside are wonderful , especially the porcelain one and the one in the tower.

15euro tickets per person. But you really get a good deal in my opinion. You get to visit inside the castle, see the porcelaine museum, throw your own plates with wishes on it, visit the tower, if you are lucky hear the organ player. There was a lot to do for the little ones as well as for adults. There are small fppd stands for cakes, waffles and bratwurst. You really have a nice view from here as well.

Great castle with an interesting history. The porcelain exhibit is highly recommend. They guide you through the whole history of porcelain in an interesting and entertaining way. Was really fun to toss the dishes as well. You should definitively take your time to see the tour. More over the castle looks very nice and kept in good condition.

It's a beautiful castle, with great views of the surrounding area. Enough information everywhere to make walking through the castle interesting. I recommend going there by car. The foot paths going to the castle are neglected. Not to be recommended for young children and elderly people. It's a steep hike.

Wonderful place, big and impressive. Many informations about the castle everywhere, especially the old cruel "tools" of the medieval time (torture) were a highlight. In the modern building is an interesting exhibition, it's worth a walk.

Beautiful castle. Small in size. Parking is down the steep slope. Not easy for the elderly. Staff was super pleasant!!. Watch your GPS carefully. Our brand new Toyota, had us going up walk paths and other wrong streets when we came. Great place for the children to stretch and run!!

We came on Saturday, didn't have to wait in line to enter. Place wasn't crowded at all, but parking space is a little bit small. There are few pools with different temperature of water and 2 jacuzzis inside. One pool is a quiet area with a huge dome roof and a huge mandala on the top, really great area to relax. Outside area also has a jacuzzi and a big pool. There are a few nudist saunas.

Spent lovely four hours at the Therme. Please notice that you cannot rent/hire towels, flip flops or anything else pool related. Stuff can only be bought. There are a couple of different pools with different waters and temperatures, also a couple of whirlpools. We had some potatoe wedges and fries from the restaurant which were nice. All in all it‘s quite clean and tidy

The place is filled with local guests but it can be an international attraction. It is about one hour ride on local train from Leipzig, but please be warned the train service is one per hour. Check the train schedule unless you want to wait for 55 minutes for the local train.

We caught a happy hour with 3 hours for 42 euros. There are several indoor pools with thermal water, 2 outside ones , jacuzzi baths and sauna area. The facilities are fine. The bathroom area was very dirty towards end of closing hours. We rented towels for 3 euros, the smell was not good, price a bit high However, the place is very German, if I may say so. Little English at reception, no English on written signs. Eating area just near main pool , people eating and drinking a lot, unpleasant smell. There is only sauna area with nude access or at least it is not clear if you can go also with your swimming wear, which might be more appropriate for your culture.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Toskana Therme Bad Sulza, and I must say, it was an experience beyond my expectations! From the moment I stepped foot into the park, I was greeted by a sense of tranquility and excitement that set the tone for an incredible day ahead. The variety of pools and attractions available at the aqua park is truly impressive. Whether you're looking for a relaxing soak in the mineral-rich thermal pools to ease your muscles, or an adrenaline-pumping adventure down the twisting water slides, there's something for everyone. The way the park seamlessly combines both relaxation and excitement is truly commendable. The well-maintained facilities and cleanliness of the park stood out immediately. The staff's dedication to keeping the premises immaculate did not go unnoticed. The changing rooms, showers, and restroom areas were all in impeccable condition, making my visit comfortable and enjoyable. One of the highlights of my visit was the variety of thermal pools available. Each pool is set at a different temperature, catering to various preferences. It was such a pleasure to alternate between the warm pools and the cooler ones, experiencing the benefits of the natural thermal waters. The peaceful ambiance around the pools, with lush greenery and comfortable loungers, added to the overall sense of relaxation. The food options within the park were surprisingly diverse and delicious. I had a satisfying meal from one of the on-site eateries

This is a beautiful and secluded place where you can just relax or have fun with friends. There are indoors and outdoors swimming pools as well as sauna. The view from the outdoors swimming pool is spectacular. Plus, they are continually playing music under the water. The price was not crazy and it was actually a very good deal for the quality of the place.

It’s clean and relaxing. The water temperature outside is not as warm as I expected but the air temperature inside is warm enough and satisfying. You can hear the music underwater in one of the pools. It has parking lot with reasonable price. The buffet offers some delicious and healthy meals and cold beer.

Arche Nebra exhibition about the discovery of the 'Himmelsscheibe' or Sky Disc. Has recently been updated and upgraded. Family ticket €23 - 2 adults and 2 children (7 / 8). Spent about 2 hours here including VR experience and planetarium. Audio guides available for the main exhibition, but since a recent upgrade to the planetarium, not available in other languages, so would wait until they have sorted this out if your first language is not German. Check on the website or contact in advance to find out. Some interactive elements for children. Would be good to have a craft area to make the sky disc. Would be good to have a treasure hunt for younger children. Happy to support this if required. There was a colouring book on a table downstairs, but it was not yet available for purchase. The children's book was a bit difficult language-wise and the simple language book more for adults. This is a great place to visit and when the language guides are fully up and running for the planetarium part, then can recommend for all visitors from around the world. It is a bit out of the way, but easily located with a free car park at the foot of the hill. Disabled people and those with low mobility can be driven to the entrance. Only steps are down into the planetarium seating area, but possibly enough space for a wheelchair to remain at the back. Lift to toilets and all floors. Cafe closed Mondays and Fridays.

nice place too visit good walking an 🚵‍♀️

Waste of time and money, with one good thing. Modern history of the Disc starts with robbery, and they do keep up the tradition! The entrance is 9,50 euros, on top of time and money spent to get to the place, which is in middle of nowhere. The Disc itself is in Prehistory Museum in Halle (at 10 euros MUCH more worth it), so if you want to see the actual thing don't bother to go to Nebra. If you don't speak German, don't go either - they are so unprepared for foreign visitors it's ridiculous. I did get an English audioguide, after being talked to in German despite my protestations in three languages that I don't speak it. The English version has a fraction of information a German speaking person would get (about 1/6, judging by info about other bronze age artifacts found on site). The info you do get is oversimplified. There isn't a single word of written English in entire place. The only good thing is that one can handle a replica of the disc. The replica doesn't look much like original, but it's a relatively minor drawback for the site.

Expensive, small, bad organized, only in german. There are so much interesting about the sky-disk - and this museum does not tell anything. And long walk from parking to location.

Very interesting exhibition. Building and location, as well as the story behind the sky disc are really amazing. For English explanations you can get headphones. Descriptions in other languages would be better though.

Small by very nice. Nice environment and it’s good for a small trip.

Love it.

Mega

Best ever

First class.

Most relaxed sauna I have found in Germany.

Genial! FKK all day long :)

I love it

Unusual cathedral with two choirs and some intriguing features from as late as the 1980s. I'd recommend getting an audio guide (included with the tickets) in order to appreciate the many details, though in English at least, it is a bit pompous (hence the 4 stars). There are some fantastic gargoyles visible from the garden.

Beautiful place to see. Take some time there is quite a bit to explore. Try some singing at the crypt. The sound is amazing.

A masterpiece. A breathtaking example of Romanesque architecture with treasures of gothic sculptures in it. A must visit place. My favourite cathedral in all of Germany.

Felt like i went to gallery. So many details.. its like hide and seek. I could stay whole day in here. Very inspiring. Please go also the little garden. Its so peaceful.

Extremely rich architecture. We had the privilege of a one hour guided tour and learned a lot about the history of the dome, the unusual case of the founder figures, the narrow path to paradise, why you say "Buch aufschlagen" (to "beat open a book") in German for opening a book and many more details to understand what was going on for centuries behind these walls. An absolute must visit.

Probably one of Germanys gem!! The world's oldest Organ is definitely a sight and sound to be enjoyed. Architecture is just amazing!!

A very interesting church with an interesting history. The art in the church is unique and striking. The cathedral itself is worth a day trip to see this beautifully preserved 1,000 year old World Heritage Site. Sadly, the cathedral is about the only thing worth seeing in Naumburg. We were there on a Saturday and the town rolls up the sidewalk at noon except for a few cafes near the cathedral.

Museum about the prehistory of the region. The main focus is the Nebra solar disk. But it has a lot of other very interesting prehistoric pieces. If you are in Halle (Saale) Go visit this museum.

Absolutely wonderful artefacts BUT!!! All text is in german so we foreigners are kept out. No brochure for the different floors. This could be easily helped by asking a highschool class to translate all the information on each floor to english and then have them set a QR code next to each text. I am so intreaged by all this interesting history but feel cheated since my german is not good enough to understand the information in german. I asked if they had audial information in english but- no. Why?

The museum is very modern with great atmosphere, exhibits and stories. The price is small. The panels are mostly in English for mid sized displays, with some English for overview info only.

Such an interesting and well-curated exhibition - you can spend several hours here. The only negative was that several staff members were rather unfriendly, especially in the Café and gift shop.

Wonderful museum that is packed with unique artefacts mainly from the prehistoric periods (although later periods are also covered). For prehistorians, it is a paradise place! The Nebra sky disc is of course amazing, but I'd say I enjoyed even more some of the other exhibits, eg. the Shamanin's room and the early figurines. Thank you for providing at least the main information in English, it would be nice if more of the information was translated!

We been thrilled by this beautiful museum and the way how history and science is presented! This is one of the top museums and I can highly recommend to take some time and enjoy. We been there for 6h and easily could stay for 2 more.

Great experience. A typical traditional museum where the visitor is a passive observer. The only thing personal in Museum have to think about is the fact that some visitors are not German speakers and that it would be great to put English language notes under the exhibits. Suggestion for the first time visitors: start with top flour of the Museum.

A must see when you are around in Halle with kids. Easy to reach by tram directly from the main station. (3 stops only) We found the concept awesome! This is the oldest chocolate factory in Germany with very impressive history and flair. You can even taste different sorts of pralines. The factory store is great and staff is very friendly. Ideally to buy some gifts😀. Highly recommended and anytime again.

Great museum for both children and adults. Delicious chocolate and reasonable price

This factory is located about 20 minutes away from the train station in Halle (by foot). The shop is big and offers good prices and products you can't always find in supermarkets.

Chocolate for factory price, I'm in! Big discount on pralines, especially the bags of 500g, about 5€ for 500g instead of 10€! Really nice service, put our products in our bags for us :)

Nice museum. Reasonable prices. Warm welcome.

An interesting place to visit. I liked the chocolate museum but think it might benefit from becoming a bit more interactive. Being able to look at the sweet stuff being produced rocks. The factory outlet is great as well.

Great museums with a chocolate room, and it is possible to see how the chocolate is produced. The store offers a lot of chocolate products extremely low price

Beautiful church with stained glass windows. We had the pleasure of attending a musical showcase with the Thomanerchor Leipzig. This was such an amazing experience. When visiting remember to also look up at the domed roof and admire the small intricate designs.

Bach's church where he worked and lived, and is buried. This is a must-see If you are in Leipzig. The interior is beautiful with stained glass and various carvings and ornamentation. The church and connected buildings are very large. I saw a couple school groups here.

Seeing Bach's church was the reason we came to Germany and it didn't disappoint, at least according to my Bachophile son. It was easy to buy tickets at the door and you could easily see the whole thing in 30 minutes. But very contemplative and it's fun to imagine history's greatest composer walking those same steps. I'd recommend bringing some headsets and Bach albums (although the museum next door had ample samples) as it was silent when we were there. There's a few interesting artifacts from Bach.

I visited this church in March, 2025. I was deeply moved to visit this church, so rich in history and positive energy. Moreover, I felt the timelessness of Bach’s notes resonating throughout the space. It was truly thrilling! 💖

Beautiful church with excellent comprehensive guide in English. Don't miss the Bach artefacts in the small room on the right of the main entrance. Interesting stained glass and contemporary Bach organ. For those following Martin Luther, there's a window of him with Frederick the Wise and Melanchthon.

st. thomas church (thomaskirche) in leipzig is famous for its music. it's where j.s. bach worked for 27 years and is buried. it's also home to the legendary st. thomas boys choir (thomanerchor) – try to catch their weekly performances (motets) if you can. it's a beautiful, historic church and a must-see for any music fan in leipzig

If you have interest in the history of J.S Bach & view his final resting place, Leipzig is the city you must visit. Visited the church on a weekday, not too crowded which makes it pleasant to walk around. Beautiful church with Cathedral glass design with J.S Bach & Mendelssohn.

This Is the most amazing zoo I've ever been to. It's so big with the kids. We could only see a portion of it, but the jungle experience especially with the boat ride was so cool. All of the exhibits are wonderful. I would highly recommend to anyone to visit the zoo. Easily one of the best zoos in the world.

Beautiful zoo with a rich variety of animals and habitats! Especially Gondwanaland was amazing giving you the feeling of actually being in the jungle!( don’t forget to get on the little boat trip, super cheap and worth the experience). Love, Greece!!!🇬🇷❤️

Leipzig Zoo is one of the best zoos I‘ve ever visited. Large enclosures. Many events throughout the day. Amazing infrastructure (you can find maps, sign posts, and directions for a tour that leads you through the entire zoo everywhere). They also don’t solely focus on the animals as mere entertainment but seek to inform kids in playful ways about preservation/biology/even physics in the aquarium. Leipzig Zoo also provides a variety of restaurants and snack bars that are evenly distributed across the entire Zoo. I wholly recommend visiting, whether alone or with friends and family. It’s an amazing and informative experience!

Best zoo in Germany especially with huge greenhouse of tropical forest and self moving boats along river with warm climate. Highly recommended for both adults and children alike

This zoo park was fantastic. I would recommend this to everyone. There is so much to see and you should have water with you because food and water prices there is too expensive. WC is free which is very good. And I suggest you guys to go early there, zoo opens at 9 am and closes at 7pm. As I mentioned earlier there is lot to see so you probably will need some rest. And one good thing about this zoo park is that you see animals without any borders and it is kind of crazy but it is safe. So enjoy with your trip everyone.

Zoo Leipzig is a great place to visit with kids. The grounds are very clean with almost no smell, and there are nice play and climbing facilities for children. A fun and family-friendly zoo experience!

This zoo is arguably the best in Europe. The animals have the freedom to roam, creating a more natural environment, and plenty of dining options are available. Don’t miss the chance to watch the monkeys and explore Gondwanaland. It's truly a fantastic spot for some quality time with your children.

Very pretty church inside, and amazing cold-war era history to it. In fact I think one of the Stasi has been working in the Church since the wall came down judging by his manner when I visited a few weeks ago. OK so I was taking a photo (apologies as I never realised that taking a picture of a building that is dedicated to a make-believe figure is disrespectful, and I don't remember seeing Thou Shalt Not Take Pictures In My Holy Buildings in the commandments when Charlton Heston brought them forth from high upon a Hollywood hill somewhere), but this guy was just plain self righteous and rude. Be polite, and treat us mere mortal sinners as human beings. We make mistakes so why not forgive us our trespasses. Hmmm....where have I heard that phrase before?

This church is deeply intertwined with history, offering a unique glimpse into the past. A must-visit for anyone interested in architecture and cultural heritage!

If you're visiting Leipzig, St. Nicholas Church is an absolute must-see. While it's historically and religiously significant, it's also an incredibly meaningful place in the history of music—making it especially memorable for those who love music and the arts. I’ve visited two years in a row to attend performances during the Bach Festival, and each time was a rich and unique experience thanks to the world-class music and the special atmosphere that only this venue can offer. Located right in the city center, the church is easily accessible and surrounded by plenty of other attractions and dining options within walking distance.

OK, I must confess that this is a place with a very specific focus (JS Bach) and purpose (to draw us into the life and music of Bach) - and I happen to be a Bach junkie. Having said that, it is a beautiful church and the Friday/Sunday concerts are excellent (and packed). It is helpful to realize, however, that everything is in German, and that Leipzigers are not as proficient in English as others in Europe.

While it feels strange to “rate” a church, I choose to do so in order to help maintain awareness of the importance of this church both as a place of worship and with its important place in music history. This is, after all, the church where Johan Sebastian Bach’s masterpiece, the St. John Passion, was first performed. During his many years of tenure in charge of the liturgical music for all of Leipzig’s churches at the time, Bach would have performed, directed the choir and written music for this church on numerous occasions.

It’s a highly historical place for the German reunification. It’s the place where protests were located and German people in the GDR gathered to stand up against the socialist regime. It’s a must see when in Leipzig! It’s free to visit but 3 Euro for pictures. It’s wonderfully renovated and colourful. Sometimes you even have the possibility to listen to concerts.

Beautiful church, which is best known for the weekly peace prayers that started during the Cold War and continue to this day. There is a small exhibition about this prayer movement.

Biggest train stations in Europe lots of stores and restaurants to choose from that are mostly all good plus a lot of railways definitely a place to visit for tourists from Germany or other countries.

Good street food restaurants ,a nice place to pause in between travels !

The largest in Europe.. 😍 Best train station I have been! 👌 With multiple railways and connecting Trips to offer.. A Subway can also be found in this big trainstation... And no worry for having a long connecting Trips, a mall is also within the Station. Various Restaurants and Shops available..

So far the nicest Bahnhof I've seen in Germany, always busy with people passing through and people just coming to shop. As it houses so many great stores to shop in over 3 levels with so many things to see and amazing food options. You can't come to leipzig without seeing it as it is the main train station. Even made more lovely around Christmas or as they say Weinachten, as lots more food stalls open up.

This station is very big, but it is really easy to find the way. Electronic devices such as ticket machines, th e screens are well thought and useful

Super convenient, many shops. The architecture is very impressive too. At the same time, it's noisy, it's crowded. Well, it's a railway station after all.

Beautiful Christmas decorations inside of the building, which adds up to the uniqueness of the historical building.

At the entrance, a welcoming entrance with an airy crypt with heating. On the first floor there was a film that explains the entire history from the origins in the early 1800s to the present day. Viewing is recommended. Then you climb up to the first internal cornice, which is very overhanging. You then climb to the upper floors, and then you reach the first external cornice located under the feet of the statues that can be seen from outside. You can take the elevator up to that level. From there, you climb to the highest part of the building with a very narrow but well-made stone staircase. A visit is recommended to better understand the history of the city. Full adult ticket price €12

A stunning monument that witnessed through its history empires, kingdoms and republics coming and going…. A must see by everyone who loves history! Fabulous views to the city as well as relaxing beautiful park!

Great experience with a rich history. I chose a non audio self tour and would highly recommend this. It's a place of reflection and would rather go undisturbed. The staircase to the top is steep though. Just so you know 😉

If you had only one thing to do in Leipzig, please visit this place. This monument is the tallest in all of Europe and it commemorates the war that broke Napoleon. No tickets required

This intense and impressive monument is a MUST SEE if you are in Leipzig. The scale is stunning and is reminiscent of the Mines of Moria in Lord of the Rings. There are multiple lifts but if you want to get to the top viewing area, you have to use the stairs and it is a little walk. No bad, but most people emerged a little winded and sweaty. The sweeping views of Leipzig are great and, if you go on a sunny day, you can see many miles/kilometers in every direction. Highly recommended.

A really impressive monument. It really makes you feel the enormity of the event being memorialized much like the World War I monument in Kansas City. There was a feeling of heaviness about the monument and it made me feel retrospective. A very nice visit. A stroll through the cemetery nextdoor is also warranted.

the monument to the battle of the nations in leipzig is a massive, seriously impressive monument commemorating napoleon's defeat in the 1813 battle. it's one of europe's largest, and you can climb to the top for panoramic views of leipzig. inside, the huge stone figures are really powerful. it's a bit outside the city center but easily reached by tram and definitely worth a visit for its history and scale

The houses look great from the outside, but are a disappointment inside. A little film made when one of the houses was first built, showing all the modern devices in the home showed what the houses could look like inside. Is money the prob lem, or do the foundation believe. It's better to show empty rooms?

I wrote a 1000 pages Bauhaus Book after visiting such an amazing creative site … imagine seven of world’s most creative minds live with their families in one place as neighbors. The energy is there since 1926 … it is still giving its creative power to the visitors since a hundred years … thanks to the company and the authorities that helped in rebuilding this world heritage Mecca … Amr Helmy

I came here just after sunrise, more for the light than with an interest to see the inside. These houses are stunning for their time, so influential...

A magnificent monument of modernism. If you haven't been, I definitely recommend it. All the Bauhaus-related exhibitions are worth seeing.

I would fully recommend doing a tour, you learn so much more than you would going around on your own and you are still free to wonder around yourself afterwards. It’s a super inspiring and story rich place to visit. Would recommend to anyone even remotely interested in design and modernism.

Really great experience for people who loves art, architecture and history….Inspiring place where a world changing idea came true!!Must visit!

The master house has been rebuilt by the berlin based studio Bruno Fioretti Marques in a contemporary way: volume and windows has been restored with new materials like light concrete and milky glass. Inside you will find a permanent installation of Olaf Nicolai with shades of white in the wall and temporary pieces of other artists. You can also see small models of the houses.

A Masterpiece of Vision: A Review of the Bauhaus Dessau My recent visit to the Bauhaus building in Dessau, Germany, was more than just a tour; it was a journey into a living monument of architectural and educational history. The experience profoundly illustrated the singular vision of one man, Walter Gropius, who, against incredible odds, brought the modern art and design movement to life. It is nothing short of astonishing to consider how he single-handedly managed to fund, design, and create the entire institutional framework, all while navigating the tumultuous political landscape between the two world wars. The moment you step into the building, you are immediately struck by its revolutionary design. The famous staircase, the sun-drenched workshops, and the seamless integration of various functions speak to Gropius's genius. I was particularly moved by visiting his personal office, located in the bridge connecting the two main buildings. This space, a hub of creativity and leadership, felt like the very heart of the movement. Seeing the workshops where masters and students collaborated, and the student hostel where they lived and breathed art, brought the curriculum to life. The building is a manifesto in itself, a physical embodiment of Gropius’s belief in the unity of art and technology. The self-sufficiency of the institution is a testament to Gropius's strategic mind. He devised a curriculum that drew students from around the world, creating a vibrant, international community. He hand-picked a legendary faculty, including Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, and created a marketing machine to attract global talent. This was all done while facing immense political pressure and shifting ideologies, which ultimately led to the school's closure. Despite these challenges, Gropius’s unwavering commitment ensured that the Bauhaus's influence would endure. The tour is incredibly well-curated, and I highly recommend taking it to truly appreciate the scale of this achievement. The theater, the student cafeteria, and even the gift shop—which is filled with beautiful designs—all contribute to an experience that is both educational and deeply inspiring. For anyone with an interest in art, architecture, or history, the Bauhaus Dessau is a must-see. It's a powerful reminder that with clear vision and relentless determination, one person can shape the course of history.

Amazing! This place was a world leader and is symbollic and of the modern movement in architecture and design in Europe in the 1900s. Celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. It has been restored, true to the original design after being closed by the racist regime of the 1930s. Well worth the visit for architects and designers.

Must-see for those interested in modernism and architecture as a whole. You can roam a part of the building freely. However, all classrooms and the entire student flats block are sadly inaccessible for visitors (except if you book a night in a flat!). The shop has a great selection of souvenirs. The workers were warm and friendly.

The ticket for Bauhaus+Museum+Master's Houses is 27€ and it's completely worth it. The place is amazing, and the temporary exhibitions are always really good. Will visit again!

This is a simply fabulous historic building. Once the home of the revolutionary Bauhaus School and designed by Walter Gropius it stands as a memorial to an innovative school that only survived from 1919-1933 but had a huge impact on architecture and design across the whole world.

This place, showcasing the architecture and arts of legends, can inspire you for years. Revisiting this historical place that changed the world evokes an amazing feeling.

Mmmmm I love the bahhaus movement and the art from that time, but the institute itself doesnt do much for me. The exhibitions inside are about the history of the buildin; its beginnings, its time during nazi rule, its reconstruction, and its preservation. Another one focused on the design of one of the bauhaus styled lights. Both were interesting but I was hoping to simply see more bauhaus art (go to the museum for that). The structure itself, while iconic, didnt do much for me either. I think when it was built, it would have been revolutionary. I did love seeing the bauhaus styled lamps irl though :)

Beautiful and historical place. Great exebition and the view from the tower is amazing. Just 295 steps and you're there!

A beautiful church, and the resting place of Martin Luther. Very interesting to see the doors where Luther nailed the 95 theses and set the reformation in motion.

What a cool piece of history. It was good to walk and see where Protestant history was made. It was also a surprise to us at how cool the town is! You can definitely spend the day going into shops and eating at restaurants.

This is the church where Martin Luther placed his 95 theses on the doors of the church that started the reformation.

Visiting this place is definitely a must! Located at the end of the main street of the historical area of Wittenberg, this place is of extreme value not only because at one of his doors Martin Luther nailed his 95 thesis, but also because his grave is inside the temple, at the back, under the organ pipes. The entrance is free. Take your time to admire every single detail of this treasure building in terms of architecture. Highly recommend. Ask for a guided tour, it will broaden your experience! Also, you can go up in the tower for 3 €, where you will have great views of the city.

This church is famous as the place where Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses in 1517, sparking the Protestant Reformation. Luther's translation of the Bible into German in Wittenberg strengthened standard German and influenced German literacy and culture. This church became a symbol of resistance against the authority of the Roman Catholic Church and received support from German princes, strengthening Lutheranism as a political force.

Absolutely fascinating. Excellent museum to be found attached to the church, with some of the best audio visual demonstrations I have seen, by that I mean they are easy to use and in several different languages and capable of being tailored to suit the user (eg magnified if you don't have your glasses :-) ). The Tower is well worth the climb with magnificent views over the city and surrounding countryside. Martin Luther's grave is in this church and this is the church he nailed his famous theses to.

The main Lutherhaus is currently temporarily closed but we could visit the absorbing exhibition Literally Luther (Buchstäblich Luther). It gave lots of insight into Luther the person rather than as church reformer. The attached photos are from the exhibition as seen in May 2025.

Unfortunately the house-part was closed because of renovation!!:((( ( In Germany they renovate a lot of things in the high season!!!!) But there was another exhibition in the other part of the ex-monastery. The building is amazing and the exhibition is very interesting. I got a lot of new information about the group who worked with Luther they made me imagine how they translated the Bible. I can recommend if you are in Wittenberg!

Indeed a historic place. One can witness churche which is over 1000 years old.The markt place is captivating.Martin Luther's house also offers a great view. Moreover, one can have a nice walk along the streets.

Highly recommended! Make it your first stop when visiting Lutherstadt Wittenberg so you can get a clear picture of the importance of this city and it’s history. Interesting, interactive and easy to navigate.

A very important stop while visit Wittenberg! Located at the beginning of the main street of the historical area, Lutherhaus will transport you in time to experience what people at that time use in their daily lives. Also, this museum has a largr collection of Luther's writings and pictures. The house also tries to portray and explain the living conditions of that period. The house, plus Luther's sayings as well as the whole collection of objects will give you a better understanding of the life of one of the important figures of the reformation. Highly recommend. Single ticket 8 €, combined ticket 10 € (Luther House + Melanchthon House )

Closed for Reno but one can still walk into the courtyard and they've put up a comical history of Martin Luther's marriage.

Really informative museum of Luther’s life and religious legacy. You can find the house after walking through this large stone gate - picture added. The museum itself chronologically outlines major milestones in Luther’s “career”, you could say. It is astounding to see what one person’s courage could do for an entire religion.

Have been there many times. Most recently, today! 😊 As everyone says, this is a bad choice if you’re creeped out by nudity. Even on textile days, you’re gonna have to face that. Otherwise, I have to say the place changes character quite a lot depending on when you go. On this Monday evening, it was very chill. The warm pool with the swim-up bar is to die for. Worth the trek just for that! It’s also a solid 1/2 train ride from Berlin, then a 15 minute walk. Very doable, but just so you know!

Pretty nice overall though a bit too crowded for my taste. Probably best to avoid Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends. Wide range of saunas but nothing too special. The food is hit or miss. The pasta dishes are terrible but the pizza was tasty and not too expensive.

Awesome in winter. First suggestions: - Needs more infusion sessions. (At least 2 saunas at the same time. Especially in winter.) Pros: - Huge variety and huge pools are really awesome. - Really big facility. - Safe environment.

I am a big fan of FKK culture and often swim naked at Lakes. I love the architecture, the water temperatures, the heavenly salt water pool outside at this place. However a recent visit was very unpleasant. Old and extremely cantankerous people patrol the pool and verbally assault anyone wearing a swim suit. My partner and son were uncomfortable being naked in the swimming pool and were therefore repeatedly harassed. The staff are mostly absent and horrible angry elderly grouches are allowed to assert ownership of this otherwise lovely place

The staff was super polite, the pools had joyful temperatures and sufficient sun loungers available. The restaurant offers a very good selection of light meals and a rich salad bar. We're looking forward to visiting the Wohlfühlterme again soon.

We visited this place today. We travelled quite a long way to get here. It's a really great place to relax, no reason to regret it. We did not encounter any situations where the issue of nudity was not respected by other visitors. On Monday, we expected less traffic, but we were quite surprised. There were really a lot of people already at 10 a.m. I hope that rules here will be maintained and won't change. We'll definitely be back.

I love this place and visit it every time I am back Home in Berlin for a visit. My Buddies and I just enjoy it very much. In the Summer you can relax outside and work on your Tan. The Food is very good and there are a lot of options. The Facilities are very clean and well Maintained. I get a Massage every time and it rounds out the experience for me. It's certainly a great way relax and forget what is going on. Especially in the current situation. I am glad that they where able to weather the Storm and survive. I love all the different Saunas and Steam Rooms. There is something to do for everybody. I love relaxing in the Pool by the Bar and enjoy a nice Beer with my friends. It's such a cool feature. I am not sure why people complain about this place being FKK/ You should perhaps do some research before going. There are days where you can go and be dressed. I guess being German it's not a big deal for me at. I am going to be back in Berlin in August for a few month and will for sure visit it several times while there. Keep up the great work and I look forward to my next visit. Danke Schoen. :)

What an amazing historical place. Loved the street art and the guided tour all the way up to the top. Great view included. Admission fee justified to maintain the place.

ART EVERYWHERE! TOTALLY AMAZING PLACE CLOSE TO BERLIN! YOU NEED TO VISIT! PARKING IS FREE ENTRANCE FOR 10 EUROS! YOU CAN BUY SOME SNACK AND COFFEE THERE! AND YOU CAN CREAT LOT OF AWESOME PHOTOGRAPHS HERE!

We booked tickets for an 11:00 opening and were delighted with how much street art is crammed in, and the juxtaposition of the abandoned radar domes, green forest and counter-culture art. We’re from Bristol, the home of Banksy, and have enjoyed tours in areas renown for street art from Melbourne to New York, but this will be one of the most memorable. €12 isn’t unreasonable to contribute to the upkeep, and in the first slot it wasn’t too busy. There are some delightful large pieces as well as areas of paste up and small art. Well worth the visit!

The place itself is fascinating, a unique mix of urban decay, graffiti, and panoramic views over Berlin. But our visit at the end of July was a deep disappointment due to poor communication and unprofessional handling of a problem. We came specifically for the Declassified exhibition, which was clearly advertised on the official website and included in the admission fee. After paying full admission, we discovered inside that the exhibition was closed, with no prior notice online or at the entrance. We went back to the cashier, who didn’t even know it was closed. She had to make a phone call, after which she simply said: “It’s closed today,” offering no explanation, apology, or compensation. I contacted the organization the same day and was kindly offered a refund. I replied immediately with my bank details and a bank-confirmed proof of payment, and explained, openly and reasonably, that I no longer had the paper receipt. Then came three weeks of silence. When I followed up, I was told that a refund was not possible without the receipt, even though the payment confirmation I had sent was official, clear, and more precise than any paper ticket. Together with the confusion and lack of accountability on site, it only adds to the impression of poor organization and missing professionalism.

One of the most interesting places I visited on my trip to Berlin. Teufelsberg is an old field station that is now a public street art gallery. You can go up to the highest building and see very good views of Berlin. Every corner of this place has it's own story. It's a long hike trough the forest to get to Teufelsberg, but totally worth it. The entrance is about 12 €.

If you’re looking for a short hike through the forest, Teufelsberg is a great choice. The 4–5 km walk rewards you with beautiful views from the top. Just watch out for mosquitoes—they can be a bit of a nuisance.

since 2022- becoming more formal amd organized, also costs 12€ now, but still have a terrific vibe, lots of talented artwork, and the same history- with much more detail explained in new corridors and signage. the drink offerings and bathrooms are much improved over past years and it is still a destination I suggest to everyone who visits Berlin!

I signed up for the guided tour of the stadium. The staff were very welcoming and the guide was talking in both English and German. The tour was a very informative one and the best one I have had for a stadium so far. Not only were we told interesting facts about the stadium, but we were also told about the history behind it. The stadium is far away from the city centre, although a long journey, you can reach without any issues by public trains. Highly recommended!

We had a great visit here, it wasn't crowded at all, so we could take our time exploring. The stadium is massive, clean, and well-kept. We barely saw any staff that day, probably because nothing was happening. The weather was awesome too, with sunshine in the stadium. We're short on time, so we couldn't see everything.

What an incredible place to watch an NFL game. It's not the best stadium for tech or anything with no TVs around minus the three jumbotrons in the stadium. But... It doesn't matter. It's a stunning piece of history and it's wild to think Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals in the same stadium. Really amazing stadium!

Good place to visit. Not to exciting but impressive. Was quiet. I only walked around the main stadium. $11 Did not join their tour, extra $ Half hour train ride from Central Station, no transfers.

I went with the guided tour. The guide was a very sympathetic British man. He was very good, knew everything about the club and the stadium. The stadium itself is extraordinary, very very big and just amazing. I would recommend every football fan to visit this place!

Attended the Colts vs Falcons in Berlin. Great game, it went into overtime. Great stadium with great view and food. I love the NFL representation of both countries.

Fabulous stadium, lovingly modernised. Great grounds and good beer, not great food. Well done to the Berlin ultras for keeping the noise while the the lost. Great visits.

Platform 17 is a deeply moving and important memorial dedicated to the Jewish people. It stands as a chilling and powerful testimony to the horrors that took place here over 80 years ago. Visiting this site is not just recommended — it is essential for anyone who wants to understand and reflect on this dark chapter in history. The experience is emotional, educational, and unforgettable.

You can access the platform by walking past the entrance to the train station, through the leafy spot all the way to the back. You'll pass the monument on your left by Karol Broniatowski which intuitively connects you with the Jews deported from there. The platform itself is quite long but surprisingly narrow, especially once you read the numbers engraved onto the metal slabs, representing amounts of people that were sent to their deaths. It was a very sobering experience, walking down the exact same platform, reading those numbers and destinations, connecting with the terror and fear they must have felt. We'd better learn from the past and never allow such atrocity to happen ever again.

A somber memorial dedicated to the thousands of Jews sent from Berlin to concentration camps across Europe during WWII. Amazing this station sits in a very(very) upper class section of Berlin. Short S-Bahn trip from Berlin Hbf.

If you have been to Berlin many times and looking for new place to see. I highly recommend this place

A very good must short visit.

This is by far one of the top 5 most impactful memorials I have ever been too. This and Topography of Terror need to be seen. I appreciate the local government taking the time to preserve this location and allowing visitors to experience it. Please, if you are planning to tour and see holocaust locations, you need to come here as part of your tour.

I came to visit this historic place, to feel how the people who was deported during ww2 was feeling, horrible sad last moments of their life's in Berlin . Around 50-000 jews were deported from this station.
