Zoo
Nature & Parks
Serengeti Park Hodenhagen is a fantastic destination that combines the thrill of an amusement park with the wonder of a safari experience. This unique animal park and holiday resort features free-roaming wildlife, allowing visitors to explore at their own pace in their vehicles. The park is well-organized and clean, making it easy for families to navigate while enjoying both animal encounters and exhilarating rides suitable for all ages.
One of a kind zoo. Safari in our own car is something very convenient for families and with that we were able to experience the animals in very close proximity. Animals looked well fed and in good shape unlike other zoos i have visited. There are also various free rides in the park both for kids and adults. Various food stalls and also WC were available throughout the park and very well maintained. Staff were also very friendly and helpful. Definitely a must visit place and it was very well spent day out for us 😊

Serengeti Park Hodenhagen absolutely exceeded our expectations! We had an amazing time exploring the self drive safari. It's incredibly well organized and gives you a rare chance to see exotic animals up close from the comfort of your own car. From giraffes walking past our windows to rhinos grazing nearby, the whole experience felt like a mini African adventure right in Germany. What impressed us the most was how smoothly everything ran. Entry was well coordinated, the drive-through routes were clearly marked, and there were friendly staff around to guide and assist if needed. The animals appeared healthy and well cared for, with plenty of space to roam. But the fun doesn’t stop there. The amusement park section was a fantastic surprise. There’s a great mix of rides and attractions for both kids and adults. The park is clean, spacious, and offers a lot of variety to fill the entire day. Overall, it’s 100% worth the visit, especially for families or anyone looking to do something unique over the weekend. We left with so many great memories and can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend!

We went for the Halloween special and we really enjoyed it. It wasn't too busy, and not too scary. We were able to enjoy all the rides without a wait on most occasions. Unfortunately, both rollercoasters were not operating, I dont know if this is normal for the winter months. We stayed in a safari comfort lodge, which was clean and perfect for the three of us. It was quite small, but we were only in there to sleep. The accommodation is immediately next to the park and restaurant. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet which was included in our package. We didn't have time to experience the safari park this visit. We will definitely be returning next year.
Nicol H — Google review
An interesting park with a lot of different animals. My recommendation is to go through the park in your own car instead of the bus, as it is really safe and better for seeing the animals. Touring by car takes about 2–3 hours, after which you can visit the amusement park within the same area and spend another 3–4 hours having fun—rides, winning teddy bears by throwing into baskets, food available around. There is also a place where you can feed and pet goats, sheep, and llamas, which is truly wonderful for animal lovers. Overall, a very nice experience and recommended.
Milan I — Google review
It is a really great place for a whole day family trip! The safari part is incredible, we were on our own car and haven't regretted it. You can see animals really close, they have plenty of space and look really healthy. And we loved the amusement park! Surprisingly there were almost no ques, we didn't have to wait more that 5 mins for a ride. Top place, highly recommend!
Александра К — Google review
One of the best Safari park in northern Europe ! Very large, organised, clean and must visit. The rides are also a bonus and included, if you want to cover both I recommend to start early spend 09.30 to 12.30 at the safari, have lunch and spend rest of the day at the rides. The rides are for all age groups and parking facility is quite good, so can easily walk around. There is also an indoor play area for younger kids. Overall can easily spend a full day with family having fun and good memories !

We had booked the Tongasoa lodges. What they don't tell you is there is a hard deadline for check in. The reception closes at 7pm and they were available until 8pm for late check in. The keys and the room no. information are all provided only at the reception, if you come late, we aren't sure where you will need to spend the night. We were very lucky to have caught them just when they were locking up and they were kind enough to help us with our checkins after their work hours. Apart from that everything else was really nice. They rooms were nice and clean, the beds were comfortable and all amenities were functional. The breakfast the next day at Manyara restaurant was just fine. If you are a vegetarian, you will be able to get sandwich and cereals and for vegan probably just fruits and salad vegetables. Safari the next day was really fun, we went with our own cars. The animals were very close and approached the cars. I thought I read you shouldn't feed the animals, but some of the cars in front of us were feeding apples, bananas and carrots and nobody stopped them. The amusement park was also fun, it came with the safari tickets, we didn't need to pay extra.

This safari experience can be enjoyed either in your own car or via a guided safari bus, offering close-up views of the animals in large, naturalistic habitats.

Additionally, the Jungle-Safari invites guests to explore a walk-through area housing over 20 species of monkeys, including chimpanzees, gorillas, lemurs, and orangutans. This section is designed to offer an intimate and safe interaction with these fascinating primates, and features an exciting Jungle Safari tour that combines animal viewing with adventurous off-road rides and special effects. The Petting Safari area allows children and families to get hands-on with domestic animals like alpacas, donkeys, and goats, providing a more interactive experience particularly loved by young visitors.

The resort atmosphere allows guests to extend the safari adventure into a multi-day vacation immersed in the wilds of the park’s surroundings. Visitor Experience and Feedback Visitors consistently highlight the park’s unique blend of wildlife and amusement, praising the quality of the safari experience and the variety of activities available. The park stands out for its educational focus, with knowledgeable staff delivering engaging information about animal behavior and conservation efforts throughout the visit. Children find the hands-on and interactive elements particularly memorable, while adults appreciate the park's spacious natural habitats and commitment to animal welfare. Some visitors note that certain parts of the park, such as specific rides or facilities, show signs of wear, but the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive and worth the visit. The multiple themed areas inside the park ensure a diverse range of experiences, making Serengeti Park a versatile destination for family holidays, school trips, or wildlife enthusiasts.

Bergen-Belsen Memorial

Space of remembrance
Sights & Landmarks
Bergen-Belsen Memorial is a site that preserves the memory of the horrors of World War II, serving as a tribute to those who lost their lives during this dark period in history. It houses monuments, displays and research facilities that chronicle the experience of former POWs and those sent to concentration and displaced persons camps. The museum staff are welcoming and helpful, creating an organized space for visitors to learn about this somber part of history.
Loved the memorial. The exhibition is more extensive than we thought. We spent a solid two hours reviewing the history and personal stories. Very well done.

Inevitably a very thought provoking experience. A very detailed museum with photos, video artefacts etc. Outside it was not fully clear where to go, take the free map. Nice to see Anne Frank's memorial, her story has moved me for over 50 years
William H — Google review
Free to enter and walk around, the scale of the area is massive and you can easily spend 2-3 hours walking around. You don't truly understand the scale of the camp until you walk the grounds. Although none of the original building stand there are plenty of maps explaining certain areas dotted around the grounds. The POW cemetery is separate from the camp, roughly a 5 min walk and is now connected via a sand path that crosses the training area. All signs have an English translation and the exhibits in the museum also have English translations. There is a cafe and library on site, but I didn't visit.

We didn't go in but sat in the gardens in front of the castle. It's nicely situated in the center of town. There was a vintage car fair when we were there and the atmosphere was really nice.

The castle impresses with its beautiful Renaissance architecture and well-maintained interiors. Inside, the museum offers a detailed look at regional history with modern exhibition techniques and clear descriptions. Interesting fact: During World War II, Celler Schloss was used as a refuge for artworks from major museums to protect them from bombings, adding a unique historical layer to its story.

World Heritage Rammelsberg ore mines

Museum
History museum
The World Heritage Rammelsberg ore mines, located in Goslar, is a significant attraction with a history dating back over 1000 years. The site was declared a UNESCO World Heritage in 1992. Visitors can explore the museum housed within the former silver mine, featuring exhibits on history and geology. Guided tours of the 18th-century shafts offer an immersive experience into the mining industry's past.
I had the train tour and the museum. The tour was just in German, but was done in a majestic way. The train is obviously the focal experience of the tour, but also how the life was underground and the tools used is explained wonderfully (also without knowing the language:)). The museum is in 3 buildings, the storage with the history is the main part, and the other 2 is more about the real machines. They all have English explanations.
Marco G — Google review
I took the train/ mine option and greatly enjoyed the ride and temperature change (it was hot outside). Although the tour was in German I was able to infer as it is a very visual and interactive tour. The tour guide was really good. Hard to believe what these workers had to go through to earn a living. Free parking nearby. Great tour,
D M — Google review
An amazing experience I would highly recommend! It's rare to get to walk in the shoes and take the same mine train the miners took back in the day, deep into the depths of this mine and UNESCO World Heritage site. The rest of the museum and exhibitions are also interesting but the mine rail tour is a must!

Very impressive! It was for me the first time to visit a mine like this, it feels you go back in time! The groups weren't that big, so you could see a lot of the mine. It was quite cold, so wear warm clothes. The train underground was an amazing experience!
Maud L — Google review
Very deceiving for such an emblematic place. It is still a quite impressive place full of history which is nice to see. I expected more... First of all, there is no tour in English. For a UNESCO world heritage site, you will expect at least one tour in English. For the museum part, it is interesting but everything is disorganised and it is not appealing. Some parts are only in German. I hope one day, this place would be made more accessible for non-german speakers.
___ A — Google review
Recommend booking in advance for English tours.
Colin L — Google review
I recently visited the Rammelsberg Ore Mines with my husband and had an incredible experience. We took the guided tour in English, called the Röder Stollen, led by Mr. Christian Etzrodt. He was super friendly and humorous, making the entire journey interesting and engaging. I really appreciate him going out of the way to add fun to the tour. It was an amazing and adventurous experience, and I highly recommend his tour. The reception staff were also very friendly and helpful (she helped us choose the appropriate tour), as was the lovely lady at the shop. Overall, it was a fantastic visit! We really enjoyed the experience. Oh, yes! Make sure to wear appropriate clothing and shoes. You would need to walk a lot and climb steep steps. Would not recommend this tour to people with claustrophobia, nyctophobia, panic disorder, breathing issues, pregnancy, etc. It is colder and dark and might be a bit slippery. P.S. I personally give bonus points for the "Stimmungsring" at the shop, haha

In Germany, one of the best place to trekking especially in winter. I have been to Harz twice. I witness both summer and winter. I like winter more than summer.

I would recommend you guys to go and enjoy the beautiful place. I liked it.

Beautiful nature park with easy mountain peaks, stunning views and scenery. Expect some gravel paths, a few bicycle paths and lots of elephant paths. Make sure to check out the highest peaks around and go for the boulders at the end to fully enjoy the highlights this area has to offer. You're able to fly your drone here as well. Few camp grounds around, so you're able to plan your multiple day hiking trip around those.

Braunschweig Cathedral is a truly extraordinary place that left a profound impact on me. From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported to a bygone era, overwhelmed by the weight of history that permeates every corner of this majestic structure. The cathedral's architecture is a testament to human creativity and skill. Its soaring spires and intricate details are a sight to behold. The craftsmanship on display is nothing short of remarkable, with each delicate carving and carefully placed stone revealing the dedication and talent of the artisans who brought this architectural masterpiece to life. Every turn brought new surprises, and I found myself lost in admiration, marveling at the sheer grandeur of it all. However, the cathedral's beauty extends far beyond its physical appearance. Its walls reverberate with stories of centuries past, and the sense of timelessness is palpable. It has witnessed historical events, joyous celebrations, and solemn moments of reflection. As I learned about its rich history, I couldn't help but feel a deep reverence for the generations that came before us and the cultural heritage they left behind. Inside the cathedral, I encountered a collection of special sculptures that added an extra layer of fascination. These sculptures, meticulously crafted with exquisite detail, seemed to possess a life of their own. Their expressive forms and captivating presence drew me in, and I was captivated by the stories they told. Each one was a testament to the artistic prowess of the past, reminding me of the power of human creativity and the ability to transform stone into something truly extraordinary. In conclusion, Braunschweig Cathedral is more than just a building. It is a gateway to the past, an architectural wonder, and a repository of history and art. Visiting this remarkable cathedral is an immersive experience that will transport you to ancient times and leave you with a deep appreciation for the enduring legacy of our ancestors. Prepare to be enchanted by its timeless beauty, to marvel at its architectural splendor, and to be moved by the stories it silently whispers.

A long overdue piece , I visited this absolutely beautiful cathedral in April, it was a cloudy morning and I was incidentally in time for Ms.Monika's famed church tour (it was around 11 am ) , and boy was i was amazed. She breathed and lived the cathedral's rich history, dark times and the subsequent restoration. Her impeccable attention to detail and careful explanation bought the cathedral to life. A proficient bi -lingual (German and English) , she did an outstanding job to weave the narrative of the journey of the cathedral from past to present. The tour itself is about an hour and free , the cathedral has stood the test of time and is a testament to faith, history and changing times of the surrounding regions. The architecture (gothic- renaissance) is a splendid remainder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the city itself. The staff and local agencies involved are doing a wonderful job of preserving this splendid piece of architecture, if Braunschweig is not on your radar, give it a try, gems like these won't dissapoint you.

Brunswick Palace, also known as Braunschweiger Schloss or Braunschweiger Residenzschloss, has a rich history dating back to the 18th century when it served as the residence for the Dukes of Brunswick. Despite facing destruction and demolition over the years, it was rebuilt in 2007 and now houses a museum and rooftop terrace. The palace stands as a grand monument in Brunswick's schlossplatz and is admired for its stunning architecture.
It was a wonderful visit, as it is located in the city center, and it was the residence of the dukes from 1753 to November 8, 1918.. Within it is the Schloss commercial complex, which contains a wide range of shops such as clothing, food, restaurants, electronics, cosmetics, and perfumes... It is wonderful. If you visit the city of Braunschweig, do not forget to go there and take souvenir photos

Stunning City Palace with a remarkable history. The old home of the Dukes of Braunschweig, the last of whom abdicated in 1918, the Schloss was destroyed twice, first by fire and then of course in the bombing raids of the Second World War. Against massive protests it was demolished in the 1960s and finally rebuilt in the 2000s to cover a shopping mall. You can easily spot the parts that came from the original Schloss. The architecture is beautiful and the site is in the centre of the city so absolutely a must visit when in Braunschweig. There’s a small museum in the left hand wing of the palace that is free, as well as the lifts to see the Quadriga at the very top that’s also free for the time being. The entrance is just to the right of the main entrance.

In Brunswick's schlossplatz stands the stunning building known as Brunswick Palace. When I passed by this majestic monument on the route to Gaussberg Park, I must admit that it was awe-inspiring. Only when I travel to the UK do I see monuments like this. According to what I was told, this palace was constructed sometime in the 18th century and underwent a number of renovations over its existence. I have heard that it once served as a residence for the Brunswick dukes in the 18th century. Wonderful to pass past this building.

I have to admit I didn’t make it all the way to the top. After being packed in the back of an open train car for an hour, I got off and took a train back down the mountain. The 96 euro cost for two adults is an insane price to pay for no seat assignment. The regional trains are very nice, affordable, not packed, and air conditioned. The nostalgia of steam isn’t worth the hassle.

Wernigerode Castle is a magnificent structure built on medieval foundations and completed in the 19th century. The SchlossbrIocke, or Castle Bridge, is a popular attraction with its vibrant turrets and towers. In addition to the castle, tourists can explore other key spots in Wernigerode such as the Market Square, Old Town, Town Hall, and Cathedral of St. Mary.
Beautiful place, very nice panoramic view from the castle hill, nice park around. The small town is very historical and pretty. A lot of restaurants, hotels, and shops. Nice to come with your family and friends to walk around and enjoy the historical architecture. Beautiful place!

Beautiful castle with spectacular views of Wernigerode and Harz mountains. Very busy during my visit & somewhat disorganized. Could only find paid parking nearby with additional expense for a shuttle bus. However, there are several shuttle bus companies and you can't tell which is which until the driver kicks you off. But, still a nice place to visit.

Daan W — Google review
A must-visit when you're in Wernigerode! Wernigerode Castle is straight out of a fairytale — perched on a hill with breathtaking views over the charming town and the Harz mountains. The architecture is stunning, and the atmosphere feels like stepping into another century. Now, let me say this loud and clear: take the uphill walk to the castle if you can! Sure, there are shuttle buses and other ways to get there, but where’s the adventure in that? 😄 Brace your leg muscles and lungs — the incline is real! 🥵 But trust me, it’s the most rewarding option. It adds a touch of effort, a dash of cardio, and a full dose of “I earned this view!” Once you reach the top, all the huffing and puffing pays off. The castle is beautiful, the views are spectacular, and the photo ops are endless. Whether you're into history, architecture, or just soaking in amazing scenery — this place has it all. Pro tip: Go early or late in the day to avoid crowds and heat. Bring water, good shoes, and a bit of adventurous spirit!

The old town is dominated by the castle and church on the hill. The district is perfect for strolling through half-timbered houses and winding lanes.

(Translated by Google) The old town ensures that Quedlinburg is rightfully a World Heritage Site. One half-timbered house follows the next, and at times, you truly feel like you're walking through the Middle Ages. Many alleyways are tucked away with small shops, restaurants, and pubs. Depending on the time of year, it's naturally very busy, but the old town is absolutely worth a visit. The climb to the castle hill is also worthwhile, as it offers a magnificent view of the old town. (Original) Die Altstadt sorgt dafür, dass Quedlinburg zurecht Welterbe ist. Ein Fachwerkhaus jagt das andere, man hat wirklich teils das Gefühl, man würde durchs Mittelalter wandeln. In vielen Gassen verstecken sich kleine Geschäfte, Restaurants und Kneipen. Es sind natürlich je nach Jahreszeit sehr viele Leute unterwegs, aber die Altstadt ist einen Besuch absolut wert. Auch der Aufstieg auf den Burgberg lohnt sich, weil man hier einen herrlichen Ausblick auf die Altstadt hat.

Schlossmuseum Quedlinburg is a Renaissance castle located on Castle Hill, offering a local history museum showcasing Bronze Age artifacts and state rooms from the 1700s. The hill, standing 25 meters high above Quedlinburg, was initially home to a church and residence built by Henry. While not as famous as other attractions in the area, it provides a beautiful walk with great views of the city.
From the platform you’ll have a good view of the whole city. In the museum there’re old treasures from over 1 thousand years ago.

Magdeburg Cathedral

Mentioned on

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Magdeburg Cathedral, the oldest Gothic cathedral in Germany, is a must-see landmark in the charming city of Magdeburg. The Protestant place of worship was completed in 1520 and boasts a stunning late Romanesque-Gothic style with Renaissance sculptures and carvings. It defines the city's skyline and houses a vast collection of paintings and sculptures from different eras.
The Magdeburg Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral of Saints Catherine and Maurice, is a true gem of Gothic architecture and one of the most remarkable landmarks in eastern Germany. Rising majestically in the heart of Magdeburg, its soaring towers and detailed stonework make it an unforgettable sight even from a distance. But beyond its architectural brilliance lies a serene and deeply spiritual atmosphere that captivates all who enter. Walking through its grand doors, you’re immediately surrounded by silence and awe. The vast interior, with its high vaulted ceilings, towering columns, and colorful stained-glass windows, creates a sense of reverence and peace. Light streams softly through the windows, painting the ancient stone with hues of red, blue, and gold. The silence is not empty, but full a space where one can reflect, pray, or simply breathe in the beauty of the sacred. The cathedral is not only a place of worship but also a historical monument. It holds the tomb of Emperor Otto I, the first Holy Roman Emperor, adding a layer of imperial history to its spiritual depth. Each sculpture, altar, and corner tells a story, connecting visitors to centuries of faith, art, and culture. Outside, the cathedral’s grounds offer equally peaceful surroundings, perfect for a quiet stroll or a moment of contemplation. Whether you’re drawn by faith, history, or an appreciation for art and architecture, the Magdeburg Cathedral offers a soul stirring experience. It stands as a reminder of the power of human creativity and spiritual devotion, a place where past and present, heaven and earth, beautifully meet.

Pretty church, the time we come in just has people speech, and then the organ play music.

Magdeburg is a charming city with a rich history and a pleasant atmosphere for visitors. Known for its impressive Gothic Magdeburg Cathedral (Dom zu Magdeburg), it’s a must-visit for anyone interested in architecture and history. The Elbe River adds a serene vibe to the city, perfect for riverside walks. The city combines medieval charm with modern amenities, offering great parks like the Elbauenpark and cultural sites such as the Jahrtausendturm. It’s not too crowded, making it an ideal destination for a peaceful yet enriching experience in Germany.

If you’re a history fan, you’re going to love this place. The stories about the history of the cathedral itself and King Otto are interesting. But for those who are more amazed by architectures, not really a bucket-list material. But I guess you’ll drop by because this is the no.1 sightseeing spot in Magdeburg. Oh by the way, it’s two euros to take photos inside. I would consider this as a donation to maintain this robust structure. Enjoy!

The place is really good. There are two nearby houses on which vines and Ivy has grown which looks really amazing. The Elbe river is just 100 meter's from this Cathedral. One can walk along the bank of the Elbe river too. There are many nearby good restaurants too and the tram station is near too. One can reach the Cathedral within 10 minutes from the nearest tram station.

Nestled in the heart of Magdeburg, the Green Citadel stands as a testament to the visionary creativity of Austrian artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser. This whimsical building, located just a short stroll from key landmarks like the state parliament and Cathedral Square, showcases Hundertwasser's signature style both inside and out. Visitors can explore its vibrant courtyards, dine at delightful restaurants or cafes, and browse through various shops.
A nice building complex with a couple of restaurants inside. There are more than two entrances and they sell crazy good ice cream 🙂
Sofía G — Google review
A truly unique architectural gem in Magdeburg, designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser and completed in 2005, shortly after his death. The building breaks away from conventional architecture with its irregular forms and rooftop gardens. While visually striking, the interior spaces—especially the shops and hotel—could benefit from more curated content that reflects Hundertwasser’s philosophy. In many ways, it feels like a cousin to Gaudí’s works in Barcelona, though on a much smaller and more commercial scale.

The Masters' Houses in Dessau, Germany, are a collection of homes designed by Walter Gropius for the Bauhaus school's faculty. The largest house was occupied by Gropius and his wife Ise, while the others were semi-detached properties with identical modular floor plans. Recently rebuilt by Bruno Fioretti Marques, the master house features contemporary elements such as light concrete and milky glass.
Have you ever ask you one of these questions: How architecture influences our live experiences? Who are these greatest modern minds in arts? Why could it happen? You will find a lot of answers here in Dessau Meisterhäuser. Some promises, you will even find answers on questions you haven’t asked before to come to this place.

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?

Bauhaus Dessau

Mentioned on

Sights & Landmarks
Foundation
Bauhaus Dessau, designed by Walter Gropius in 1926, is a highly influential building that showcases the hallmarks of Bauhaus design. The glass facade and absence of visible supporting elements on the corners are iconic features. The Cafe-Bistro continues the tradition of being a meeting place for program participants, employees, and friends. This architectural masterpiece still looks fresh and contemporary despite being almost a century old.
I love this place. This place answered me plenty of questions about the why, the where, the what, the who and the when. It is great to learn about the motivations, learn about the who were these people, to learn about the where and when have the gone after Dessau. I have spent two days and three guided tours and I will for sure come again.
Michael S — Google review
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.

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 :)

As part of the UNESCO World Heritage sites known as the Luther Memorials in Eisleben and Wittenberg, it attracts visitors from around the globe.

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.

Lutheran church
Sights & Landmarks
Stadtkirche Wittenberg, also known as Stadt- und Pfarrkirche St Marien, holds significant historical and religious importance as the birthplace of Martin Luther's Protestant movement. The church features art and artifacts related to Luther and the Reformation, including a memorial for local soldiers who perished in World War I. Its beautiful architecture and rich history make it a must-see attraction in Wittenberg, often overshadowed by the Castle Church.
Good to see the church where Luther preached many sermons
Julian T — Google review
Among the Martin Luther and Reformation related art and artifacts is this memorial to those local soldiers killed in the First World War. Apart from the language no different to those in a thousand British churches. Reminds us that it's ordinary citizens who always do the dying in a war.

Lutherhaus

Temporarily Closed
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Lutherhaus in Wittenberg is the former Augustinian monastery where Martin Luther resided as a teacher-monk and later after its dissolution. The museum chronologically outlines major milestones in Luther's career, offering an informative look at his life and religious legacy. It serves as a living history of Christian Reformation and is considered one of the most important museums to visit in Wittenberg. The well-designed explanations by guides and signboards make it a great historical place to explore.
The main Lutherhaus is closed for renovation until 2025. But the courtyard is still open. The Literally Luther exhibition in Luther Museen, adjacent to the Lutherhaus is open. It is an excellent exhibit on Luther's life and his reformation legacy. It also has a great activity section for children on the third floor.
AXZ — Google review
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.
Ann M — Google review
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!

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.
Paul T — Google review
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.

I love coming here a lot, the only sad thing is that only Wednesday swimsuits allowed. I am not a big fan to be naked with strangers or to see naked people. But otherwise it’s great!
Maria B — Google review
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!
Paul H — Google review
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
Dorian H — Google review
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. :)

Olympiastadion Berlin

Stadium
Sights & Landmarks
Arenas & Stadiums
Olympiastadion Berlin, originally constructed for the 1936 Olympics during Adolf Hitler's reign, is Germany's largest stadium with a capacity of 74,649 seats. The venue retains its original architectural style, featuring imposing columns made from stones brought from the Alps. After much debate about its preservation, the stadium underwent renovations in 2004 and now hosts major sporting events and concerts.
Magnificent edifice of a stadium retaining some of the 1930s original design. Sprawling over a large area incorporating hockey, football and swimming as well as the athletics facilities inside the stadium, the site needs a while to take in, but it is a fantastic place to visit. You are allowed to roam around the complex and there is a restaurant and toilets on site.
Ivor C — Google review
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!
Akash P — Google review
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!

Sachsenhausen Memorial & Museum

Mentioned on

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Memorial and Museum Sachsenhausen is a powerful site that serves as a reminder of the atrocities committed during the Nazi regime. Visitors can explore the camp at their own pace, with guided tours available for deeper insight. The museum houses numerous artifacts, descriptions, and first-hand accounts that shed light on the horrors that took place there. Audio guides are recommended for a more comprehensive experience. While some parts of the camp have deteriorated over time, the sheer scale of the site is awe-inspiring.
One of the best I have been to. With the audio guide and information boards you can really get a feel of what was happening here over the 30 to 60 time period
Paul A — Google review
It was very informative with a cheap audio guide (roughly €3. 50). Entry is free. It's not very easy to find your way there if you're using public transport. Google Maps took us in via an office complex and police headquarters (the old SS training camp, I believe). It's got a lot of information in the different rooms with a lot of reading, although plenty of different languages are catered for. A lot of the main areas to visit have been restored or rebuilt and it's hard to gauge the conditions of the time. It does seem to be a work in progress to restore everything and add extra sections. Some of the interactive exhibits didn't seem to work which would be troublesome for those who needed audio guidance. The computers we were using at one point just all turned off. I would recommend it but it needs a full day and plenty of energy for all of the walking and some stamina for the reading. I think they offer guided tours but I'm not certain.

Ok visit, but not that many original details still there which makes it more difficult to grasp the extent of the horror, especially for our teens.

Castle

Charlottenburg Palace, a stunning Baroque summer residence in Berlin, is a treasure trove of history and art. This grand complex features the Old Palace, New Wing, and the Great Orangery, all set within expansive gardens that showcase exquisite royal landscaping. Visitors can explore its opulent rooms adorned with paintings, tapestries, and porcelain artifacts.
I had a wonderful visit to Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin. The palace itself is absolutely stunning—just like stepping into one of those old-time shows you see on TV, but in real life. The interiors are beautifully preserved, and you really get a feel for the grandeur and history of the place. I spent around 2–3 hours exploring, and it was definitely worth the time. A nice bonus is that you get a discount on the ticket if you have a Berlin Card, which makes the experience even better value. Overall, I highly recommend a visit if you want to experience Berlin’s royal history up close.

Charlottenburg Palace was one of the most beautiful places that I visited in Berlin. The garden area behind the palace is absolutely breathtaking, the grounds are immaculate. I did tours of both wings of the castle which are rich with history, art and other items that are centuries old. The woman at the entrance to get tickets was extremely rude and unhelpful, however every other staff member inside was lovely and one even helped with the lockers for storing my bag since I didn’t have any change for them.

Beautiful grand house and gardens. The displays of silver, the paintings and the ball rooms were spectacular. It’s easy to get to from the S Bahn. Our children were not as interested in some of the exhibits, so bear this in mind. However, the links between Prussia and the New Germany are fascinating. You may wish to visit the Cafe Kudika across the road for a really first class coffee stop rather than the in house cafe.
Toby B — Google review
What an incredible structure and grounds. Even with the rocks in place of the original flower garden it's still beautiful and the reconstruction after WW2 is fantastic. It's certainly with your time if you're in the area and one to divert and hr or even more out of your way to see first hand as the photos simply do not do it justice.
Dylan K — Google review
An absolutely beautiful palace and a place not to be missed while in Berlin. We were there on a Friday just after opening at 10am and it was great to walk through and take photographs and soak up the aesthetics of this beautiful palace without the grounds. The excesses and wealth that went into a palace like this is quite remarkable. The grounds are just as beautiful and its free to walk about them without having to enter the palace, but you will regret not going inside. €12 entry fee for adults is well worth it or if you had more time than us, you could buy a pass for €19 which includes the new wing. Highly recommended.
Samantha P — Google review
Oh my world. It was stunning especially the new wing. Do not miss that golden and green room at the new wing. It wasn't crowded when we visited so we had the whole place just for us, but your toddler may not enjoy it 😁
Karthic S — Google review
Thought this was worth the price of admission. With the standard ticket you also get the entrance to the garden and the other wing in the back of the palace. It took me a decent time to get around and see everything and I felt like I could have spent more time there but was getting hungry. Overall worth a visit if you are in Berlin! I went on a weekday first thing in the morning and it wasn’t terribly crowded, although there was a line of people waiting for it to open.

Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church

Mentioned on 
+55 other lists 
Evangelical church
Sights & Landmarks
Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, also known as Gedachtniskirche, is a significant Protestant church located in the heart of Breitscheidplatz. The original neo-Romanesque church was built in the 1890s and suffered major damage during a bombing in 1943. However, parts of the original structure were preserved and incorporated into the new complex that was consecrated in 1961.
An unforgettable experience in the heart of Berlin! Absolutely loved visiting the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church — it’s not just a landmark, it’s a powerful story carved in stone. The mix of historic charm and the haunting reminder of WWII makes this place deeply meaningful. The damaged spire, left unrepaired, speaks volumes about peace, resilience, and history. The architecture is breathtaking, and the vibe around the church is peaceful yet alive — people relaxing, chatting, and soaking in the beauty. I spent time there with friends and truly felt the soul of the city. The modern buildings around it make the old tower stand out even more. It’s a stunning contrast of past and present. Highly recommend adding this to your Berlin bucket list. Whether you’re into architecture, history, or just want a beautiful photo spot — this place delivers! 📍Don’t forget to look up… that clock tower hits different in person 😍 💬 Tip: Just sit for a while, take it all in. Trust me.

Visited September 2025. A beautiful old Church in the heart city centre. There is a lot of history with this building being bombed during WWII and the broken spire. This historical building is in the middle of an upscale neighborhood and stands out. It is right near the zoological garden train stops, so if you are in the area, make sure to stop by and see it.
Josh H — Google review
Even though this church is a bombed out ruin (from WWII) it still maintains a measure of beauty. Definitely worth a stop when you find yourself in the area. Short walk to plenty of restaurants and shopping areas of Berlin and also not too far from the zoo.
Philip S — Google review
A beautifully preserved church, modified with some modern elements, stands as a testament to resilience. It’s a poignant reminder of the devastation wrought by World War II, showcasing the church’s enduring spirit. The church’s meticulous preservation allows visitors to witness the damage and glimpse its pre-war glory. Interactive displays weave a compelling narrative, recounting the church’s history from its inception to its current state. While it’s disheartening to see such a magnificent structure destroyed, it serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences of war and the urgent need to avoid repeating such mistakes.
Anand — Google review
We didn't have time to walk along Kirfurstendamm but did want to see the leftovers of this church. Dedicated in 1895 it was heavily damaged in WWll, the tower is all that's left. So as not to spoil your visit I will only include a couple of interior photos. The sad parts are the atrocious new church hall and bell tower built either side. Free entry, you will only need 20-30 minutes for this. For coffee and cake go to Einstein Kaffee near the main station.

From a place of worship and prayer, it is now a place of remembrance and contemplation. The temple stands there, half-ruined but imposing, reminding us on the one hand of the devastating consequences of war, but on the other hand of the power of humanity. The new temple built opposite is also impressive!
Geo K — Google review
We visited the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in September 2025. From the outside it looked impressive even more so when you consider it was bombed during the Second World War. Once inside the ceiling is so a joy to behold. The church was a bit crowded for our visit but I found my location to admire the ceiling. Glad we visited this historic place.

Berlin Zoo is a great place to visit during your trip to Berlin. Very interesting, lots of animals. Seeing pandas for the first time was a really cool experience. I recommend going to feeding shows, you can learn a lot from zookeepers feeding the animals.

Very interesting, however not every animal was actually there to see. Some species of monkeys were not present. But monkeys are monkeys I guess. The cutest were the Pandas. The coolest was walking inside the cage where they kept some vultures and Owls. The nearly extinct sumatra tiger is the most interesting for me because fewer than 400 of them remain. I recommend you buy the tickets online on their website!

Berlin Zoo is a great day activity for families with kids. The place is beautiful, stroller friendly, with in door and outdoor displays. The stars of the show were the Pandas and the Penguin enclosure. Our toddlers also enjoyed watching the seals play in the waters.

I had an amazing time visiting the Berlin Zoo. It’s one of the most impressive and well-organized zoos I’ve ever been to. The variety of animals is outstanding — from giant pandas and big cats to exotic birds and unique species you rarely see elsewhere. Each enclosure is spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed to resemble the animals’ natural habitats. The zoo is also beautifully landscaped, making it a pleasure to walk around. There are plenty of shaded paths, resting areas, and great spots for families with children. The staff are friendly and always ready to share interesting facts about the animals. Overall, the Berlin Zoo offers a wonderful experience for visitors of all ages. It’s educational, entertaining, and truly memorable. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Berlin!

This is the best zoo I’ve seen so far. Exploring it takes at least 4–5 hours. And if you’re planning to visit the aquarium as well, it will take almost a full day. Make sure not to leave without seeing the pandas.

My spouse and I recently visited Berlin Zoo, and while we really enjoyed seeing animals whose populations are declining worldwide—and animals that we, as humans, normally wouldn’t have the chance to see in their natural habitats—there were several things that left us disappointed. A large number of the birds were kept indoors and out of sight due to the cold weather, which is completely understandable, but still unfortunate for visitors. The reptiles and invertebrates section, which is one of the three main parts of the aquarium, was entirely closed because of renovations. Besides that, several other large areas of the zoo were also closed and inaccessible for the same reason. Despite all this, and without clear prior information, we paid nearly 70 euros for two people on a weekday, which left us quite upset. I strongly believe that by paying this amount, we deserved to experience the entire park—otherwise, the ticket price should have been lower.

The zoo was beautiful, very well designed, and we really loved it. Even though it was raining, it was still super comfortable, with plenty of impressive indoor areas. Highly recommended!

The most beautiful Zoo that my husband and I have visited. 🥰 It's really huge. 😁 You need to reserve a whole day for the excursion. Unfortunately, we didn't have that time. 😓 Because this Zoo has really beautiful enclosures for the animals. The animals are in the best condition. They are really happy. 😌😍 The workers takes very good care of the entire Zoo. We liked everything here. 😍 Unfortunately, we're sorry that we didn't see everything. However, the price for admission is good and acceptable.👍😊

Shopping mall
KaDeWe, short for Kaufhaus des Westens, is a grand department store that first opened its doors in 1907. It stands as a symbol of West Germany's post-war economic resurgence and is now the flagship of the struggling Karstadt retail group. With over a century of history, this Berlin institution boasts an impressive range of high-end designers alongside more youthful labels like Alice+Olivia and Buffalo.
Wow, this place is crazy....in a good way. Specialized clothing especially if you've won the lottery. It's worth a visit to browse, especially up top where the food court is. You can spend a whole day alone just on the food court floor where you can dine in or browse the pastries and candies. The home/kitchen ware is incredible as in the knives selection. Oh, there's a Moet bar and a caviar bar as well.... $$$$. We settled for a killer Pho restaurant w a nice Reisling and it was awesome, we would go bk just for the pho. It's an easy Spahn outside of Berlin, so take advantage of their public transport....

One of the best shopping malls in Germany. Great architecture and facade of a building, very intricate and sophisticated interiors. Spacious, but could be crowded for obvious reasons. I would recommend to visit it during a week or in the morning on Saturday. Be careful with pastry and cakes. There are so many and delicious as well. You can visit Samsung store in a technology corner and check many other gadgets and products. There are plenty of restaurants and food corners, great selection of meat and fish 🐠

Whether you're into fashion, beauty, homeware, or gourmet food, KaDeWe has it all and then some. But the real magic? The legendary 6th and 7th floors. The Gourmet Food Hall (6th floor) is out of this world. It’s a paradise for food lovers, with everything from truffle cheeses and fresh seafood to rare wines and handcrafted chocolates.

KaDeWe is a must-visit in Berlin! The shopping area offers a beautiful mix of luxury brands and elegant atmosphere. The pâtisserie on the top floor is exceptional — the éclairs are light, creamy, and absolutely delicious. A perfect place to shop, relax, and indulge!

A very large mall containing all luxury brands, and on the top floor there is a very large restaurant offering all kinds of food from all over the world.

If you decided to participate in the vanity of the entire street, whether it's your choice of lifestyle or just for fun as a tourist, you can either waste your time standing in line for one of the famous purses & handbags stores, or go up to the top floor and enjoy exquisit smells and tastes. 5 starts for the exhibition, 2 starts for the life style.

Always a stellar experience. The food court on the 6th floor is incredible and the winter garden on the 7th has a great view. If you have a question, or need help, the staff are willing and knowledgeable. Taking into account, of course, the dry Berliner sense of humour.
