Sophisticated hotel offering free breakfast, parking & Wi-Fi, plus regional dining & a spa.
We loved our stay at Hotel Kloster Hirsau! Victoria, who checked us in, was so friendly and helpful. We loved our room. We noticed in one review it said the rooms needed updating. We totally disagree! Our room was perfectly clean, and the older style, we feel, kept with the antiquity of the little town. It felt like we had stepped back in time, but the beds were obviously newer, as were the bathrooms. So it was new where you would want it to be, but with the older style, which we thought was perfect! It is in a good location, close to the main town square, but we did drive most places. We did have the breakfast buffet one morning, and it was a decent buffet with both hot and cold items and different breads. If we ever get back to Calw, we will stay here!

A nice old building with history, beer garden, and a modern 3 story addition in the back. Kitchen close early at 20:30. Unfortunately, the shower floor is very slippery and provides no protection against slip and hurt. Resulted in a big bruise... my standing leg 🦵 slipped when stepping out of the shower 🚿. The management answered, not our responsibility

Compared to other establishments in the surrounding area moderately expensive for drinks. But the nice ambiance and friendly staff make well up for this. Would not recommend for single drinks, but for a good meal this is definitely the place.

Empfang was bad. They put 2 persons in the smallest available room (number 115! Please reject it). Later they upgraded is to a normal room. But still, hospitality was bad. Not what you can excpat for a fullprice fare. Hotel itself is a bit outdated, eighties. No aircon, its well maintained and clean. But could do some upgrading.
Warner H — Google review
We went for a Saturday to Sunday mini trip. Unfortunately, Hotel Hirsau was not suitable. We arrived after 8pm and just made it to the restaurant who were already in a hurry to close. We wanted to use the pool/sauna but couldn't. In the evening on Saturday they were already closed and then we were told that hotel services are not offered after checkout at 11am on Sunday plus the sauna is not on until 2pm. So that didn't work either. This made it impossible for us to use the facilities :-( If you like a relaxed weekend morning, you also won't make it to the breakfast which closes at 10am. This timetable of this hotel is for business but not suited for a leisure weekend visit.

Tübingen is only an hour and half from Stuttgart by regional train. The city dates from the 6th or 7th century, when the region was populated by the Alamanni people. The old castle dates from around year 1.000. The city was totally destroyed during the WW but many buildings were restored. We can still see special details from the original constructions. A very typical German town worth visiting.

Beautiful town. We were lucky to be there for the summer festival.
Christoffer S — Google review
If there’s one place that captures the soul of Esslingen, it’s the Marktplatz — a broad, picture-perfect square framed by half-timbered houses, each one looking like it belongs on the cover of a fairytale book. The colors, the angles, the rooftops — everything here feels timeless. On a Sunday, though, the vibe completely changes. The usually buzzing square slows down into something beautifully calm and reflective. Most of the shops are closed, and you can finally hear the fountain trickling and the bells from the nearby Frauenkirche echoing through the air. Locals stroll quietly, couples sit on benches with coffee to-go, and the café terraces — the few that open on Sundays — become little pockets of lazy contentment. Without the weekday rush, you start noticing the details — the ornate carvings on the old guild houses, the contrast between pastel facades and the red roofs, and the way the square gently slopes toward the church. If you stand in the middle and spin slowly, you’ll see centuries of history in one 360° view — it’s that kind of place. And when the sun’s out, the light hits the buildings just right, creating this warm, honey-colored glow that’s pure cinematic gold. Photographers love it, and honestly, it’s hard to take a bad shot here.

Esslingen am Neckar Castle is a historic site with a courtyard garden that offers sweeping views of Esslingen. The long flight of stairs on the city wall provides breathtaking views over the city and vineyards, especially when dusted in snow. The town itself is magical with cobblestone streets, gingerbread-style houses, and stunning vistas. Visitors can enjoy a cozy staircase leading to a good restaurant and a large free valley for relaxation.
The view over the city is stunning. If you prefer, there’s also a bus that can take you up, but climbing the steps makes the experience much more special. A great spot to explore, relax, and take beautiful photo..☺️
G G — Google review
Lovely old castle and worth a visit for the views alone! Google maps sends you the ' stairs ' way! This is a steep climb up about 300 stairs? ( We meant to go back for a picture of them but forgot! ) Otherwise you can go up the roads to it. Like I said the views are spectacular and it's free! There's a restaurant up there too but I'm guessing you might need to book?

Great view of Esslingen. As people have mentioned, it requires a great deal of steps to clib. I recommend taking the bus 110 from the station up to the castle. After experiencing the wonderful view, you can take the stairs back down into the town.

Nice shopping spot - lots of shops, very well organized and easily accessible. There are a lot of parking spaces. Toilets are accessible and very clean. Everything is organized in such a way that you don't worry about anything and just do your shopping. For the shops themselves I would say that for some things I usually find better deals online. However, there are a lot of people who prefer shopping from outlets.

The OUTLETCITY in Metzingen is one of the big down in Germany. The products are made in china or Africa and the prices are sky-high. The restaurant food is overpriced and even the drinking water is not affordable in this summer and charging 3 euros for a small pet bottle. The Drinks wending machine is not working and you need to buy from only those restaurants.
Praveen R — Google review
Amazing place it is like a village and offers everything (food, coffee, drinks etc.) I couldn’t say that the discounts worth the visit as it is an average 30% minus the initial price. You have to search a lot to find a real offer. It ils also really crowded but that is normal for a place like this. I couldn’t imagine that you have to pay parking fee (2€/hour!!!) in a city outlet where you go to spend money for sure 👎

Very nice waterfall. Depending on the route you go up or down beside the waterfall and the stairs where the water runs across. Path is steep sometimes so you do need good legs to complete the route.
Pieter V — Google review
The place felt a bit overrated. There were a lot of people, and the waterfall wasn’t very impressive, the water flow was quite small. There was also a bit of water on the stairs. Maybe we went at the wrong time. The place might be more beautiful when the water volume is higher. We visited in mid-May and were a bit disappointed.
Yuzena K — Google review
Easy hike to the bottom, a little more effort to get to the top. If the waterfall is running strongly the stairs and path may also become a river, so tread carefully as not to slip. Recommend sturdy hiking shoes and waterproof if possible. At the top depending on the time of day you will be rewarded with a small shop with refreshments and wonderful views back down the valley you hiked along. If you have the energy you can also swing around to the castle ruins for more exercise and views of the surrounding area. A great activity that is rewarding and leaves me feeling accomplished at the effort. I have taken many friends to see this waterfall and only have received positive feedback.
Christopher C — Google review
On a sunny day, it's really one of the most beautiful hikes. There is a 10kms loop that goes to Urach and Güter waterfall. But you could also do a shorter 2km to the bottom of the fall or continue for about 600m on a steeper, stairs hike to the top of the waterfall. 100% worth it either way. I did the trail from all trails. Well marked, but can be slippery especially if it just rains. Parking; You can park at P23 for 5 euros a day, but there is a parking lot just after you cross the train line, on the right, and it's free. I was there at 8.30 and the whole lot was empty A must visit if you are in the area

It’s a pretty small waterfall, but wow—what a view! Totally worth the effort. Getting down was a breeze with all the excitement, but the climb back up was definitely more of a challenge. Still, with a few breaks along the way, it’s absolutely worth it!

Märklineum Store

Museum
Model train store
Specialty Museums
Model railway exhibits from the renowned manufacturer, covering 1000 square meters, plus a shop.
Really enjoyed my time at the museum. The many well executed interactive elements (some with high educational value also) and Märklin showcasing their long history of toys besides model trains makes it a museum worth visiting for the whole family.
Sander H — Google review
This is set out on 3 floors. The first being a shop floor with a cafe. The second floor is part of the museum and is more like a historical look back at some of the products and toys this brand has made and sold. Finally the third floor is where all the model trains are kept (Behind plexiglass) For many people who are into trains, this will undoubtedly be a pleasant place to visit. My only concern is the high entrance fee to visit the 2 floors which are essentially a brands selection of previous products (a show room) and so the 10 euro per adult fee seemed disproportionate for what it was. Sure it’s a nice place to visit, and those with a keen interest in trains and train models should really enjoy this. But i can’t see the value in relation to the cost and what was on show. I personally think the first floor (no charge) is the best option and skip paying the high fees to visit upstairs.
Mrs R — Google review
So cool lots of cool things to see. So much history about model railroad hobbies. There's lots to see and do here make sure you have at least an hour to view the museum. And more if you want to go see the HO layout in the basement. If you are in the area definitely check it out 10/10

Nice museum and shop. The factory section to see the manufacturing was closed. Had to pay 10 euro to enter which seems extreme as it is advertising for the brand. The prices at the bistro were very good though. The bistro employees were very friendly and helpful.

Märklineum: The Märklin Museum and Bistro are Closed undergoing reconstruction until approx September 2019, when it should be open for the 2019 Göppingen model expo. The Gift/Model Shop, Technical Centre and the Fund Grube are open and very well stocked with all the current stock as well as the Complementary display Items from all the leading Brands There are items in the Fund Grube that ard at a reduced price, either below quality for shipping or extra items like loads for wagons or special items. The Buildings are fully accessible with a very wide stepless entrance. It's very well laid out with good space between the display cases, there are toilets and lockers behind the Technical Desk. There is a wooden train-set to try and keep the littlest ones distracted while you look through the Book shelves.

If you are into train models then this is the place to visit! It was a eyeopener for me as I never new a small model could cost 3-4000 EUR!! A 20cm electric rail track 180 EUR! This is definitely not a hobby for kids but kidults!! 😁 who can spend cash on their hobby.

Well organized canoeing trip and the stream was beautiful with just enough obsticals to be fun. In August 2022 the water level was a bit to low. We had a lot of scraping and had to get out occasionally to push (which was also fun)

(Translated by Google) We finally went there as a family today. We weren't disappointed - in advance IMPORTANT 🚨🚨🚨 This year, the last tours are being offered; according to the provider, there will be no more tours after that. 🚨🚨🚨 There are two different tour lengths. We chose a date online and paid immediately via PayPal. It worked great. There's an option to stay and eat on-site. 🥘 But we didn't do this. When we registered, which was quick, we received wristbands. (Paid 🤪) We were then allowed to walk the route to the starting point 🏃, which is extremely beautiful in the surrounding area. When we arrived, we were given instructions and then allowed to start. (Life jackets for children are provided.) The trip itself was fun, of course - there were a few small rapids in the sections that were really fun. 🚨We recommend wearing water shoes and avoiding carrying unnecessary items unless they are waterproof. 🚨 (Original) Wir waren heute als Familie endlich dort. Wurden nicht enttäuscht - vorab WICHTIG 🚨🚨🚨 dieses Jahr werden die letzten Touren angeboten danach wird es keine Touren mehr laut Anbieter geben. 🚨🚨🚨 Es gibt zwei verschiedene Tourenlängen. Wir haben uns online einen Termin ausgesucht und gleich bezahlt per Paypal hat super funktioniert. Vorort gibt es eine Möglichkeit zu verweilen und zu essen. 🥘 Haben dies aber nicht gemacht. Bei unserer Anmeldung die schnell vonstatten ging haben wir Armbändchen bekommen. (Bezahlt 🤪) Wir durften dann die Strecke zum Startpunkt laufen 🏃 die äußerst schön ist in der Umgebung. Als wir angekommen sind wurden wir eingewiesen und durften dann auch starten. ( Schwimmweste für Kinder bekommt man gestellt) Die Fahrt an sich hat natürlich auch Spaß gemacht - in den Abschnitten waren ein paar kleinere Stromschnellen die richtig Spaß gemacht haben. 🚨Es empfiehlt sich Wasserschuhe zu tragen und möglichst keine unnötigen Gegenstände mit sich zu führen - außer sie sind wasserdicht. 🚨

(Translated by Google) Here, you can enjoy nature when there aren't too many people on the boardwalk. The main thing to see is the moor and its animal inhabitants, including the tree trunks gnawed by beavers. Whether you're willing to pay the regular €2.50 entrance fee is up to you. However, the fee is essential for the maintenance of the wooden boardwalk. (Original) Hier kann man die Natur genießen wenn nicht gerade so viele Menschen auf dem Steg unterwegs sind. Zusehen gibt es hauptsächlich das Moor und dessen tierische Bewohner bzw. Hinterlassenschaften wie die abgenagten Baumstämme der Biber. Ob man bereit ist, den regulären Stegeintritt für 2,50€ zu zahlen muss jeder für sich entscheiden. Für die Erhaltung des hölzernen Stegs ist die Abgabe aber sehr notwendig.

(Translated by Google) This impressively beautiful landscape is reached via a 1.5 km long wooden walkway. You get a stunning view of the moorland and the feeder lake with its diverse bird species and fish. A natural environment that absolutely must be preserved for the preservation of the diverse animals that live there (storks, swans, ducks, pike, catfish, beavers, frogs, and snakes). (Original) Beeindruckend schöne Landschaft, die über einen 1,5 km langen Holzsteg erreicht wird. Man bekommt einen eindrucksvollen Überblick über das Moorgebiet und den Feedersee mit seinen verschiedenen Vogelarten und Fischen. Eine Natur, die unbedingt so bewahrt werden muss - zum Erhalt von diversen Tieren, die dort leben (Störche, Schwäne, Enten,...., Hechte, Welse, ..., Bieber, Frösche und Schlangen)

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Located in the fishing district near the Danube, Schwörhaus is a captivating red and yellow baroque building from the 17th century. Today, it serves as the city museum. Every year, the elected mayor takes an oath here in front of residents. The building holds historical significance and houses an intriguing archive that tells the impressive story of Ulm. It's not only a great place to explore Ulm's history but also offers a glimpse into its oldest building.
Every year, the mayor comes out to promise to his people various stuff. I never believe his words and probably never will, because he is telling truth only 80% of the time, but the building still looks cool!

Ulm Minster

Mentioned on 
+25 other lists 
Lutheran church
Sights & Landmarks
The Ulmer Münster is a Lutheran church built in Gothic style, located in the heart of Ulm City. It boasts the world's tallest steeple at 161.53 meters high and features an impressive carved choir. The church is considered a must-visit landmark in Germany, offering visitors a glimpse into the Middle Ages with its lovely Gothic architecture.
I visited the Ulm Minster on my birthday and it was such a special experience. The structure is absolutely breathtaking – you can’t help but be amazed by how tall and detailed it is. I found out it’s actually the tallest church in the world, with a spire reaching about 161 meters high! It took several centuries to complete, starting in the 14th century and finally finishing in the late 1800s. Walking around the cathedral, I was blown away by the gothic architecture and how well-preserved everything is. The inside is peaceful and beautiful, and just standing there made me feel so small in the best way. I didn’t climb the tower this time, but even from the outside, it’s super impressive. If you’re ever in Ulm, you must visit this place. It made my birthday truly memorable. Totally worth it! 😊
Pankaj S — Google review
Every nice church. This church has the tallest tower in the world. You can pay 7 Euros and walk all the way to the top. Please ensure that you are semi fit....it is a long and winding staircase of over 750 steps. But the view is worth it. They are currently doing some restorations to the church so please bear with the noise.
Lewis M — Google review
Ulm Minster is breathtaking both inside and out. The Gothic architecture is incredibly detailed, and the interior is full of history — especially the 15th-century choir stalls with their intricate wood carvings. The highlight, of course, is climbing the tallest church spire in the world. It’s 768 steps up a narrow staircase, but the panoramic view over the city and, on clear days, even the Alps, makes it worth every step. Inside, the atmosphere is peaceful and bright, with beautiful stained-glass windows and an impressive organ. The Münsterplatz around the church is also lively, with cafés and markets (the Christmas market here is fantastic). Be prepared: the tower climb is steep and not for everyone, but if you can manage it, it’s unforgettable. Overall, Ulm Minster is one of Germany’s greatest landmarks. Highly recommended!

Sarath P — Google review
Ulm Minster is an absolute must-see — not only for its record-breaking spire, but also for the sense of calm and beauty it offers. It’s very easy to reach, just a short and pleasant walk from Ulm’s main train station through the charming old town. When I visited, there was some ongoing renovation work, with padding and scaffolding around the front and upper sections, which did slightly spoil the full view of the façade. However, the minor distraction did not take away from the overall experience — once you step inside, the atmosphere completely changes. The city’s noise fades away, replaced by a deep sense of peace and stillness. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a quiet moment of reflection, Ulm Minster is a beautiful and easily accessible place to visit.
Girish V — Google review
The Ulm Minster is absolutely breathtaking and a must-see if you visit Ulm. Its towering spire — the tallest church tower in the world — dominates the skyline and offers incredible views if you climb to the top. The interior is just as impressive, with beautiful stained glass windows and a peaceful, majestic atmosphere. You can really feel the history and craftsmanship that went into every detail. Whether you’re interested in architecture, history, or just want a stunning view over the city, the Ulm Minster is unforgettable.

No visitor misses the 3 most important hotspots of Ulm - the Münster, the "Schiefe Haus" and the very special "Rathaus" with its colorful paintings and details. Almoust like a huge history book, these paintings, writings and coat of arms tell a lot about Ulm's past - if you have the time, join one of the guided tours. The active townhall interior is nice, but renovated - the storytelling outside and especially the huge and complex astronomical clock is worth the visit on the way down to the Danube or Fischerviertel.

The Steiff Museum is a must-visit for families traveling on the A7 or A8. It offers an interactive experience with a stuffed toy hunt, 'petting zoo', workshops, and a huge slide. The museum showcases animals in various sizes and is enjoyable for both kids and adults. Visitors can also explore the outlet for good deals before purchasing from the store next to the museum. The tour includes a German voice-over of Margaret Steiff's life story and magical stories with soft toys.
one of our wishlist checked! since my daughter born, we're becoming Steiff fans. Finally today we were there (saturday) around 13 o'clock. There are only few people there, so we can enjoy the tour and the museum itself, and also the kids can play in the kids area. its really nice..the tour was memorable..not only the kids also for adults..

LEGOLAND Germany

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Amusement park
LEGOLAND Germany is a family-friendly amusement park featuring thrilling rides and an aquarium, as well as impressive replicas of German landmarks constructed from LEGO bricks. Visitors can opt to stay at the LEGOLAND Hotels within the Holiday Village, which offers access to various amenities including restaurants, playgrounds, and a high ropes course. The park also provides opportunities for guests to observe the LEGO manufacturing process and create their own LEGO bricks. Additionally, there are water rides that offer an adrenaline rush.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 We had an amazing time at LEGOLAND Germany! The whole family enjoyed it from start to finish. October was a perfect time to visit—great weather and fun Halloween decorations throughout the park added to the magic. There were rides for all ages, and the kids especially loved the playgrounds and interactive areas. One of the smartest features: dedicated play zones near some of the rides so kids can stay entertained while adults wait in line—brilliant! The park layout is very manageable—flat and easy to walk without feeling exhausting. Bathrooms were accessible and food prices weren’t too crazy for a theme park, which was a pleasant surprise. All around, a fun and memorable family day. We’ll definitely be back (got the annual pass)!
Adriel R — Google review
A very successful experience for children aged 4-12. A large place with lots of options that are very difficult to complete in one day due to the long lines for most of the facilities. You have to arrive with a lot of patience. Overall, this is a park where the attractions themselves are not crazy, but the "wrapping" of Lego does its job. The place is very neat and clean and easy to navigate. Overall, this is a recommended day out for the family.
Yonatan A — Google review
This is in my opinion the best of the 3 Legoland parks in Europe. Everything is good value here, especially the food and the quality of said food is fantastic. I went into the pizza restaurant and paid around €16 for a fresh out of the oven pizza and amazing chocolate tart. They both felt like they came from an expensive restaurant, very tasty and beautiful presentation. You have the best selection of rides here from small to thrilling. A really good variety - the best being Maximus. An absolutely thrilling b&m coaster which despite the short ride time, offers some incredible moments of weightlessness. The park is kept tidy and clean - the bathrooms are cleaned very regularly. Queues are managed well and have the bonus of single rider if you're a lone traveller like me. Saves a lot of time. Theres a few little themed shops dotted around and although a couple were closed on my trip due to the time of year possibly, there's still a lot on offer. More than any other Lego park in Europe like I said. I had the best 2 days here and I can't wait to come back again.

We took the kids to Germany and our first stop before traditional castles and museums was Legoland Germany! We LOVED it. Drove straight from airport to the hotel (we stayed at the Pirate Hotel), checked in, then did a full afternoon and evening till close. We ate at the steak restaurant near hotels and onsite for snacks, lunch, etc. We prepaid for breakfast at Pirate hotel. Because of birthdays, we did the birthday package (they decorated the room and more) and because tip mattered we did the VIP package. THIS was worth every penny! We skipped the line at every ride, got extra swag & mini figures, and store discounts [don’t forget to ask for tax refund forms at the store (typically 100 or more spent)]. The staff are awesome and most are bilingual if you are rusty. If you are a LEGO fan or traveling Germany with kids, this place is worth every penny! For the super fans, they had themes we found no where else (e.g. adventure series at the log ride); and rides that are not found at the US Legolands. Augsburg and Ulm are nearby if you need a culture/ museum break.

Unforgettable memories were made and we cannot wait to visit once again!

If you or your kids like LEGO then you must visit, the place is huge and there are a lot of activities for all ages. To really cover it you need at least 2 days to get on most of the rides. The only downside is the large ques that form so you don't like to wait a lot then maybe pay more for the express pass. You can also get tickets online for both the park and the parking which I recommend to save some time.

Harburg Castle

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Temporarily Closed
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Harburg Castle, located on the Romantic Road in southern Germany, is a well-preserved 12th-century castle complex with a mix of architectural styles. Despite enduring numerous sieges and wars over the centuries, it has remained remarkably intact. The medieval covered parapets, towers, turrets, and red-tiled roofs create an almost cinematic setting. Guided tours offer insight into the castle's long history and are led by knowledgeable historians or curators who make the experience entertaining and informative.
The Castle was truly amazing, we did visit on our own but I recommend going with a tour guide because it can show more things like the interior of more important rooms in the castle, on your own you do not have access to them. But overall, it was a beautiful experience, the whole place was very well maintained and there is alot to see, you can really get immersed in the medieval feeling of this Castle. Highly recommend to visit!
Deian B — Google review
This is a well preserved castle near a wonderful little town of Harburg. The walkway from the town is whimsical, do not skip it. The castle has been in the same family for many centuries, they just recently transferred it to a non profit and opened to the public. They still have their residence here, and while those rooms are open for visitation, no photography is allowed. I definitely recommend to go for a guided tour,as it's the only way to see the inside of the castle, to climb the walls and explore it for real. For English speaking visitors they have a printout that follows the tour, but you are still seeing everything on the inside . It was a well spent time.
Elllen K — Google review
I had a great visit! They were very lovely and accommodating as I had my dog with me and due to the weather they allowed me to carry it during the castle visit and avoided missing the great guided tour . But this might be allowed only for small dogs that can be carried in travelling bags. So please check first.

I’m so happy we found this place. We were looking for an authentic Medieval experience and this castle delivered. It wasn’t crowded at all and you can take your time exploring. It felt just like we were back in the Middle Ages. The tickets are cash only but it was only a few euros per person. The gift shops and restaurant take credit cards and they were not crowded.

Great castle. Plenty of parking, easy to walk around and freindly staff. They charge you to just get in which you can basically just walk around the courtyard. There's another fee to tour the inside. Although the fee is reasonable, just viewing the courtyard for a fee is a bit much. The inside tour was very rushed. There is a lot to see in the rooms and a lot of artifacts and pictures with dates, but they rush you through without a chance to see and read it. At the end, they leave you in an art gallery that is not very impressive. Maybe reverse this, make the art gallery part of the general admission and allow more time to look at the real artifacts in the rooms. Overall, still worth a visit.

What a gem! Both architectural and spiritual. Set in a peaceful town, you can explore freely and at your own pace everything this place has to offer. It’s overwhelming so get ready to take it all very slowly. Our only regret was not being able to hear the organ when we were there.

A trip to Ottobeuren Abbey isn't just a visit to a church—it's an experience. This insane beautiful church is a full-on masterpiece. The moment you step inside, you’re hit with a wave of awe that's hard to describe. The entire interior is a sensory feast. The paintings on the ceiling and walls are so vibrant, and the stories they tell through color and intricate detail are absolutely mesmerizing. Then there are the sculptures—each one feels alive, a testament to the incredible skill of the artists who created them. It’s like every surface, every corner, has a story to tell. This isn't just a place of worship; it's a "Gesamtkunstwerk," a total work of art, where painting, sculpture, and architecture merge into one breathtaking vision. If you're ever in the area, you have to see it for yourself. Pictures don’t do it justice.

More than 60 rides & attractions including roller coasters & water rides, plus a petting zoo.
Must visit! Kids had lot of fun. We were there on weekday so we could take most of the rides. Not much rush on weekends. Still we couldn’t cover everything. Need multiple visits if you plan to experience every ride. Food options are also great.

We was at the first time in Skyline Park near Bad Wörrishöfen. Not really crowded as used from other parks. Fair prices for food and beverages. Some attractions seemed a little bit older. Employees were helpful but not friendly. Overall it’s worth to visit Skyline Park especially with smaller children.

This is an excellent park to visit if you all about the rides! The rides are great. Including some that I had never seen before in other parks. Many of the rides are not for kids under 1.40cm and they are worth it! We visited the park middle of the week. Off season and with some small rain. And we had the feeling that we have the whole park to ourselves!! Stuff is friendly and all rides are operational even if you are the only one there!! It has less of the fairytale park but for hardcode riders!!! Loved it!

Wonderful experience for the whole family - or you can just go crazy with your friends! The entry fee is a bit expensive for the first look, but you got value for your money. The food and drinks are at reasonable prices - not double takedown, and I really appreciate it. The park is clean, the staff is really kind and helpful. Grab a map at the entrance and you can spend the whole day there. Highly recommended for everyone!

Nice choice of rollercoasters, roundabouts, and other rides. Plenty of opportunities to dine, quite some at reasonable prices. The experience very much depends on the length of the waiting queues and thus on the number of people visiting the park. We went on a Friday in August, where many Bavarians are on vacation, so it was great. Kids with a birthday +- 5 days of the visit are free. Reduced fees for all under 1.50m. Most really heavy rides are free from 1.50m and 14 years of age.

We went here on 3 November during kids autumn break, knowing it was the last week before Skyline closes for winter break: we paid the full price as it would of been summer season, a lot of amusements did not work as well as small huts with snacks were also closed. The staff for the rides were extremely RUDE and moody. We started to question if that was after Halloween mood or what has happened but everyone working there was super grumpy. It was quite disappointing experience and not worth of the money we spent.

If you want to use the train you have to walk 10-15 minutes from the station Rammingen bay to arrive the parking space and from there enter the park. If you are alone walking through empty fields might feel a bit uneasy. At least for me as a solo visitor arriving there early Sunday. You are provided with a useful map at the ticket booth. Adrenaline seekers should pick red-marked-equipments. There are beautiful sites for nature lovers as well. You need at least 5-6 hours to walk around and stay in line for your favourite games. The price and distance worth the adventure.

UNESCO world heritage Park that is top notch in size, beauty and features. It's free, never locked and has the most flowers, herbs, trees and walking trails imaginable. Kneipp baths (multiple leg stations, arm stations for adults, kids and disabled people), educational herb garden with smell stations, frog pond, huge bird aviaries, fountains, lakes with duck islands, exercise and mobility stations ("the five Esslingers"), agility and balancing trails, barefoot trails, labyrinth, mud station to walk through and so much more. All based on Kneipp's natural healing therapies. You can't ever see it all, but you can try...

Amazing location if you are looking for for a calm therapeutic nature walk. There are trailed walks pathways where you can walk barefoot and experience different senses. Though I have visited here before but yesterday the rose garden was not well maintained, I think this years constant rain was not good. Highly recommended as well if you are coming here with elderly parents

Great destination for a calm therapeutic nature walk. One gets both peaceful and meditative encounter. The area is touristic also. I like the spacing and varieties of things to explore. It makes one appreciate the things we often take for granted. It's inspirational the history of the place and those that made it really happen. Fully recommend and worth your time if you're anywhere close to Bavaria.

Amazing park to visit in the middle of the forest. Beautiful rose garden and lovely lake. A bit disappointed as they don't keep the very famous umbrellas for longer time in the summer. Would be nicer if they stay there for the full summer time. Free parking for 2h. And Toilet facilities. There could be more take away coffee places and refreshments.

The barefoot trail is a lot of fun for the whole family. My only complaint is that some sections could be better marked since the paved road interrupts the trail. The trail is pretty rough on your feet but it is worth it for the experience. Some of the stations along the trail are mud pits, balance bridges, and various walking textures. Parking is a little difficult especially on weekends when the weather is nice. There are also limited lockers on site to store shoes. They require a 1 or 2 euro coin that is returned at the end of use.

It is impossible to express the atmosphere with words. Everyone must feel it for themselves. It's very old and massive cathedral not very far from city hall. It is home to oldest surviving stained glass. The paintings with some dating back to 11th century are authentic. Be aware that it closes at 6.

This cathedral is the most visited site in Augsburg and also it's most important church. It's founded in the 12th century but the original church even dates back to 8th century and it is a Roman Catholic church. Through the years many reconstructions were made and now it has neo-Gothic style as well. It was an interesting and calming experience to walk inside and enjoy the silence and the beauty of the arts inside.

City Hall
Sights & Landmarks
Augsburg Town Hall, also known as Augsburger Rathaus, is a significant historical building in Augsburg, Germany. Constructed in the early 17th century by architect Elias Holl, it stands as a remarkable example of German Renaissance secular architecture. The highlight of this iconic landmark is the opulent Golden Hall ('Goldener Saal'), renowned for its lavish gilded wooden ceiling and intricate decorations.
One of the historical buildings in Augsburg, it was rebuilt after 60% of it being destroyed during WW2. Golden hall is absolutely worth it. The building itself welcomes both working politicians and visitors at the same time. We almost disrupted heated debate there.

built in the 1600's by Elias Holl with the late renaissance architecture. it is the icon of the city with Eagle painting on the front and the pine coat of arm on the Top. impressive architecture and the entrance is free on the Groundfloor where you can visit the war memorials and ancient relics and modules from the City.
David A — Google review
Quite a sight to behold from the outside, more so on the inside. Only a €2.50 entry fee for adults to enter the Goldener Saal (Golden Hall), which is very impressive. You can also visit a couple of informative exhibitions for free on the ground floor, including a brief history of Augsburg.
Adrian F — Google review
Wow. The golden room is definitely worth visiting. Reasonable €2.5 per person to visit. This beautiful building has a hidden golden nugget inside. Literally. The golden room has over 2.7kg (5Lbs) of gold coating all over the moldings and statues. The history of this over 450 years old building is fascinating, and how it survived and was rebuilt after WW2. The staff dis knowledgeable and super helpful with any questions when visiting. They even offer a folder in English or Spanish for international visitors.

Fuggerei is a historic public housing complex that has been in operation since the 16th century and features an on-site museum. The city center, where Fuggerei is located, also boasts attractions such as the town hall, street fountains, Weberhaus, numerous churches, a zoo and botanical garden, a football stadium, Mozart's house, MAN museum, Zeughaus, Maximilianmuseum and Riegele beer museum.
Such a unique and interesting place! It’s the world’s oldest social housing complex, and you can really feel the history walking through the little streets. The apartments are tiny and cozy, and it’s cool to see how people lived here for the past hundreds of years and so. Keep in mind though that people still live there! There’s also a few little museums inside some of the residences that go over the story of how the place started, how they lived, struggles, etc. As well as a bunker that you can explore. Definitely worth a quick visit if you’re in Augsburg!

Went on a Augsburg Fugger Tour. Last stop was the Fuggerei. Have always been curious about it and it's history. Quite amazing that it still exists till this day an age and functioning the same way it always has. Absolutely incredible. The grounds are extremely well kept and just a beautiful part of living history. Must go when you visit Augsburg. After the tour you can also visit tiny beer garden by the entrance.

Really cool to hear about how this social housing was started. The people can live here for €1 per year, and just have to be Catholic, pray everyday, and be in need. It’s definitely worth the €8 entrance fee.

It was a wonderful experience visiting the world’s oldest public housing. We went on a weekday morning, and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful, which made exploring even more enjoyable. Purchasing the ticket at the entrance was simple, and the site itself was easy to navigate. The area is beautifully maintained, with so much attention to detail that you really feel immersed in its rich history. Walking through the space gives you a true sense of cultural heritage, and it’s both educational and inspiring. I would definitely recommend this visit to anyone interested in culture and history—it’s a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience something truly special.

I visited The Fuggerei on two different trips, once in 2010 and then again in 2023. It's a neat experience with in Augsburg and i definitely recommend checking it out. The history here is interesting for sure and the architecture in germany in general always amazes me. I would recommend tickets in advance, although was not busy when we went. My aunt had picked them up ahead of time for us.
Mark L — Google review
Fuggerei in Augsburg is often touted as a must-see historical site, but unless you’re deeply interested in social housing history, it’s largely underwhelming. The quaint buildings and quiet atmosphere feel more like a sleepy neighborhood than a captivating attraction. The real standout is the WWII bunker—an unexpectedly compelling and haunting part of the visit. It offers a chilling, immersive look into wartime life and far surpasses the rest of the experience. If you’re nearby and curious, stop by for the bunker, but otherwise, it’s probably not worth going out of your way.
Keerthy N — Google review
A fascinating historical place that is definitely worth visiting. It beautifully combines the charm of the past with the spirit of the present. I loved the peaceful atmosphere and the feeling of stepping back in time. The houses and small museums provide a wonderful glimpse into old life, and everything is well organized for visitors. Highly recommended when in Augsburg.

Asamkirche Maria de Victoria

Mentioned on 
11 lists 
Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Asamkirche Maria de Victoria is a remarkable church in Ingolstadt, designed by the celebrated Late Baroque architects, the Asam brothers. Despite its unassuming exterior, the interior of this 1730s church is a stunning example of Rococo design. Lavishly adorned with carved stucco, marquetry woodwork, and gilding, it features a 490-square-meter ceiling painting depicting the Incarnation of the Lord.
This church it's quite beautiful... From the outside it seems a little simple but on the inside its wonderful... Though a bit small. Still, I really like the many paintings on the wall and the big one on the ceiling... They also have some interesting relics and other religious stuff. The entrance cost about 3€ but I think it's worth it just for the beauty of its interior.

You would never guess from the outside that such beauty is inside! Cost 4euro to enter. Completely worth it.
Kathy J — Google review
The Church of St Mary of Victory is a Rococo masterpiece built by the Asam Brothers in 1736. I have been on a quest to see all of the Asam Brothers' churches, which are mostly in Bavaria. The interior is lavishly adorned with carved stucco, marquetry woodwork, and gilding. The use of light colors and shapes inspired by nature are typical of the Rococo style. The ceiling has the largest flat ceiling fresco in the world, and depicts Mary as Queen of Heaven and mediator of divine grace. Each corner portrays one of the four continents paying homage to Mary. The Lepanto monstrance was created by Augsburg goldsmith Johann Zeckl in 1708 to commemorate the victory of the Christians over the Turks in the naval battle of Lepanto. A sinking Turkish ship, the fleeing Sultan, and drowning harem ladies are depicted in intricate detail. A monstrance is a vessel to display the consecrated host. The word 'monstrance' comes from the Latin 'monstrare', which is also the root for the word 'demonstrate'.
Kent W — Google review
Needless to say that the touch of the Asams brothers leave you surprised every time you see their works. the entrance is 3.5€ cash. but its worth more the exterior os very simple but once i stepped foot inside, the 490 m2 painting on the ceiling with its meaning is more than impressive, of course the main aisle is something from another level. a vey astoniching church to the Holy Maru lady of Victory. A Baroque church from the 1700's.

A one of the kind church, starting with the name, inspired not by a patron saint and closing with the stuccos. It worth a visit despite the lack of heating in winter and the limited visit time. The marquetry is splendid and I won't say a word about the unique ceiling and stuccos. Enjoy, 3 euros well spent!

Military Museums
The Bavarian Army Museum, housed in the historic New Castle, offers a fascinating journey through local military history. The museum showcases an extensive collection of medieval armor, weaponry, and WWII artifacts within the former ducal residence of Ingolstadt. Visitors can immerse themselves in over a thousand years of history while exploring well-preserved medieval architecture and massive fortifications that once served as both a defensive stronghold and a symbol of power.
Super cool museum! Lots of interestonf artifacts and history and art and the building itself is cool to walk around too. I didnt know this since we had only an hour to go through it but save your time for the top floor. They implemented tech so you can view information about Each artifact from your phone with codes which was really cool but didn't save enough time for it to get the most out of that feature. The whole place is well kept and well staffed worth the entry fee! I don't know how much tourism happens in Ingolstadt but I wish there was more of a selection in the gift shop. A few kids toys and lots of books are all I remember being there which was so so.
James Y — Google review
This is a good museum, but to be honest, I expected more. The artifact displays are so scanty for the most part that you are acutely aware of the amount of unused space in the exhibit rooms. The artifacts that are displayed are done well and put into decent context. Their is some excellent military art displayed, with some pieces that are truly impressive. The most impressive part of the museum for me was not the tent of the Grand Vizier but the tin soldier dioramas. They are not only huge but amazingly detailed. The dioramas make this museum worth a visit all by themselves. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit, but if you are in town with a few hours to spare, it is worth your time.

Very interesting museum with a lot of different things to see. The settings were nice and pictured the use of items and the transformation of warfare, in a Bavarian context, well. My favourite part were undoubtfully the knights and 16th century weapons. The exibitions were given a lot of room, which gave every single item the right kind of space and focus. As I see it, there's probably room to exibit more items in the existing space. The toy soldier section, for all it seemed to never end, was very interesting and well made. The only thing I missed was a tank. To me, being a foreigner, a german army museum without a tank is like a ship museum without ships 😉

Andechs Monastery, also known as Kloster Andechs in German, is a hilltop Benedictine monastery and church that has been a center of pilgrimage for centuries. The monastery is renowned not only for its spiritual significance but also for its brewery, which produces some of the finest beer in Germany. Pilgrims flock to the monastery not just for prayer, but also to enjoy the famous beer served in the outdoor beer garden that can accommodate over 3,000 people.
An amazing place that blends Medieval atmosphere with traditional Bavarian feel. I deeply appreciated the chance to pay homage to the great composer Carl Orff. Unique brewery and wonderful food. Live music by highbrow Baverian orchestras. One of the ladies at the souvenir shop can be quite cranky though, if she needs to handle more than three. souvenir items at a time :)

Magnificent view of Munich area because it is on top of a small hill, and for the same reason very few pests! Easily accessible with entrances on three sides. There is free Wi-Fi near the non-restaurant entrance. There is also a free public washroom in the back alley opposite St. Jakob church, next to a TEDi store. The palace itself isn't spectacular, as reflected in the cheap entrance fee. But there's a chill restaurant where you can dine inside.

A very sobering experience. There is a warning when entering that it's not recommended for 12 and under. I had my 14 year old granddaughter with me and wished that we skipped the last two rooms. Otherwise a great learning experience I'm glad we did. The entry is free of charge, but there are opportunities to donate some cash along the way.

Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site

The Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site is a significant historical location near Munich, just an hour away by train. It offers a sobering glimpse into the atrocities of World War II and the Nazi regime. The site features reconstructed cell blocks, photographs, and documents that provide insight into the camp's history. Visitors can join guided tours to learn about the dark chapter in history and pay their respects to the victims.
A must visit for all who wants to know more about the War and a reminder to us living about what the prisoners went through so that we don't allow history like this to repeat itself. The only concentration camp to be functional during the entire 12 years reign of the Nazi party from 1933 to 1945. Also the first concentration camp to be built and was the training and reeducation place of the SS (Nazi army) for all other concentration camps in Europe.

It feels more like an exhibition than a museum—quite disappointing, to be honest. It should convey the horror of what took place there, but it doesn't. The fact that there are regular houses just behind the fence, where people live, blew my mind. What goes through people's heads to make it okay for them to have a view of a death camp from their window?

Was easy to get here from the Central Station Hbf in Munich. Take the S2 train to Bahnhof, Dachau, then take a transfer to 726 bus. Will take you there and back. The visitation center has your free toilette, Cafe with food, drinks, and warm coffee and hot chocolate which was well needed for this cold day. The people at the visitor center was nice and spoke English well. Rental an audio tour guide that was useful, but honestly I enjoyed reading all the materials and posters there. The camp was amazing, and everyone was respectful there. Everyone was speaking low for respect, similar to 911 Memorial Museum in NY.

We went with a guided tour with Radius Tours. From Munich, we traveled by train and bus to get to the memorial site. We were with 'German Mark' ...not to be confused with the other Mark 😉 and he provided a lot of insight to the history and development of this memorial site. We came to Munich for Oktoberfest and spent the following morning here. It was sobering, though provoking, impactful, and necessary. You could easily spend the majority of the day here. They do provide self guided audio tours. Someone that we met at our hotel did the audio tour and enjoyed the content. You get a lot of content in the various areas and it's great to see that they are utilizing the space to remember what happened there. It was a very powerful experience.

Absolutely incredibly powerful place to visit. It’s very well presented and managed - combination of extensive museum exhibits with text (multiple languages), artifacts, real life stories, videos, and pictures. Be sure to read as much as possible as you tour. There are memorials and public art throughout the site that represent many different backgrounds of the victims impacted. Careful reconstruction has been done on a few buildings, some original buildings remain, and much of the open ground is there from where original buildings once stood. We spent nearly 4.5 hours there and could have easily spent longer as learned lots. Audio guides in different languages are available.

Worth going and worth checking it out for lots of reasons. It has a canteen for lunch, a book shop, a Carpark. You can follow guided tour by the centre, just head to the reception to join the tour (think is 3 euro per person) when you get there, this can’t be booked online. There are one at 11am and one at 1pm I think (in English). There are also some in German. You can walk into a small gas chamber used for testing poison on people, and see the crematorium used to burn the bodies. Scary but real. All in front of your eyes. And many more scary details. A lesson not to be missed and always be remembered. The visit is free if you don’t follow the tour. You can do the visit using audio guide too.

There are no words to describe the emotions you get from visiting this site! It's definitely a must while in Munich. We went as part of a tour, which I highly recommend as you learn so much from the guide! This was a lifetime experience for sure!

We had a short trip to the memorial site. It is impressive although not many of the original elements are left. The space and the prison part gives you that feeling of hopelessness. It is humbling and creates awareness on the horrors man can inflict on others and how much can one indure. We should be grateful that we don't know any of it.

One of the most relaxing spots near Munich! The shore at Starnberg is clean, calm, and offers stunning views of the lake — especially on clear days when you can even spot the Alps. There are plenty of benches, walking paths, and grassy areas to sit and unwind. The promenade is perfect for a quiet walk, with cafés and bakeries nearby if you want a coffee or snack. Whether you’re coming alone for reflection, with family, or for a light picnic, it’s a beautiful escape that feels both serene and safe. Highly recommend for a day trip or just a few quiet hours by the water. Many water sports are available for adventure enthusiasts. Large area of shore at Starnberg town side is privately owned and can't be accessible for public.

One of the many scenic lakes surrounding Munich, though it arguably has the least welcoming atmosphere. I’ve biked there many times, but rarely find myself wanting to stay for long. Still, on a clear day, you might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the Alps in the distance. Even more spectacular views if you fly above.

Starnberger See is a very beautiful lake! It is very serene and calm. It's a place where you can go to unwind and relax and enjoy a break away from the city. With RE it took us just 15 minutes from Munich Hauptbahnhof. Would highly recommend this place!
