German Clock Museum

Temporarily Closed
Museum
Specialty Museums
Museum featuring thousands of antique clocks & watches from the Black Forest & around the world.
Very informative and complete history and displays of the first time keeping machines to current atomic clocks. Displays and museum are setup on multiple floors easily navigated with wide staircases and an elevator if needed. They do have a tour but are easily managed on your own. Has book guides in different languages
Ed E — Google review
Beautiful Museum with many interesting watches, included in the black card. but.. It won't suit everyone. As an adult I was very interested but my 13 year old nephew wasn't very engaged. If it was more interactive or if there were cleared English explanations, maybe he would appreciate it more. So, if this place is on your path anyone and it's free for you (with the card) - do come! Otherwise and if you have other places to be, it's ok 😉 As mentioned in other reviews, the staff is indeed very nice and welcoming ☺️
Oh G — Google review
The guided tour was very interesting, much more informative than going around alone would be. The guide showed how the clocks worked, and the concept of time that developed from the Middle Ages, where clocks were out by approximately a minute a day, to today. The need for a constant time within a town, to the railway which brought the need for shared time. Why a cuckoo (cuckcuck)? What about an orchestra clock?
Philippa L — Google review
Nice place to visit to see the evolution of clocks in general. It also has a special section about Cockoo clocks. There are some exhibits where we can press a button and get a feel of how the clock used to work. The demonstration of the very old musicals and clocks by the people working there was just amazing. The sun clock outside the museum was surprisingly very accurate to the minute ! You can easily spend a couple of hours here.
Ananth K — Google review
A mid size museum where you can see a lot of beautiful clocks, watches (and there were some ugly ones 😏). The service was also very kind. There was a short interactive session about mechanical musical instruments. I recommend for families.
Andras F — Google review
Really interesting museum. Descriptions were mostly in German but the counter lent us a booklet with English descriptions that covers most of the museum. There is also a short demonstration of the musical clocks in German and English which we enjoyed very much. Overall we had a good time and a great place to visit especially so when the weather is not ideal. We spent about 2.5hrs there.
Jon — Google review
Very interesting museum, covering all the history of clocks, from the sun "clock" to nowadays. Old and new, large and small, you will find a wide variety of clocks.

Spa and health center Solemar Bad Duerrheim

Wellness center
Spas & Wellness
Spas
Solemar Thermal Baths are fantastic, the highest salt baths in Europe with the water always 33 degrees, whether indoor or outdoor. A few hours in the salt baths has a real rejuvenating effect on the body. This was our second visit and we stay in the Womo Stellplaz next door. We had intended to stay a few days to take in the thermal baths and the town so when we arrived on May 5th to discover a special offer that was a treat. For a three night stay, including electric hook up and a daily 3 hour visit to the baths the price of €17 per day was amazing value. Bad Duerrheim is a lovely town with two beautiful Kurparks for lots of walking. We had a wonderful time and would live to return.
Liam C — Google review
For a full day, of almost every service you can get, we paid 60 EUR in total. That included, a 3 hours stay in the all the pools and all saunas. As well as 2 big body towels, and finally a 1 hour stay in the salt caves (photos attached). Great experience, great service, highly recommended. A real therapeutic experience
Hussam C — Google review
Nice big pools, temperature was great, free parking, excellent and clean facilities. But unhappy staff and way too overcrowded - there seems to be 0 control as to how many people are let in. We were like sardines & chairs were blocked by the towels of people who were IN the pool! Please go check out the Therme in Thonon les Bains, France & you will understand why your massage- Düsen are actually quite unpleasant - the air coming from underneath and so strong is not nice at all. If it was coming from the side / from the walls - that would have been a different story. 3* cos I loved the Salzgrotte, which is amazing!

The venue offers free parking, reasonable price and has good staff. Hopefully, there won't be any issues with the lockers. Shower queues were manageable, and there was enough space for everyone when we visited on Friday.

Simply amazing. I will surely come back. Different type of pools, hot and cold water.
Sofia G — Google review
READ THIS COMMENT BEFORE YOU GO!!! My wife and I decided to go to this “Therme” after reading online on their website what they are offering and seeing the pictures. After getting there it was NOT at all what they advertised. When I go to a Therme I want to enjoy HOT natural water, NOT high cold chlorine water which I can go to a regular hotel. They actually had the water advertised “1 degree” cooler because of “electric” being expensive. I believe every customer pays for a service and we would rather pay higher or the price they advertise to enjoy and experience something I expect from them. The large pool that said was 34 degrees was not more than 29-30, I went talked to the personnel and he agreed the water is heated and not more than that. Which is when we decided that neither of the pools were hot only barley warm to go get out and talk with the front desk about the situation. After talking with the personnel why the water is so cool with only one pool salted and rest was high in chlorine which was really disappointing and not what “natural Therme” are we asked them to refund us are money and to leave. We only stayed 15 min and paid for a full day, they did not want to give us anything back and kept arguing why the water is so cold because the electricity and they won’t do anything. This is called being “thieves” and showing very poor customer service!!! I would never recommend and quite the contrary tell other NOT to go here. There are SO MANY other beautiful THERME in the area within distance that would offer so much more and actually care about their customers.
Cristian C — Google review
Good variety of activities like hot and cold tubs, sauna, mist room, indoor and outdoor connecting pool with massage jets, waterfalls, etc. The changing and showering rooms are pretty standard and clean. Nice Biergarden with good food and bier menu as well as seating and “beach” area. Good cafeteria with seating with umbrellas. The freshwater pool was out of order but seemed vey small.
Marcus S — Google review
I was on holiday in germany for two weeks and I visited this pool twice. I would have happily visited more times if it was closer to the town I stayed in. This is a beautiful pool. With the indoor and outdoor areas, jets, lazy river, showers and bubbles, there is plenty to do. I had never been in a salt bath before. The salt water soothed my dry skin. It's like a full-body spa. I usually need to moisturise after showering, but I didn't have to after this. It's so easy to float and relax, especially in the indoor hot pool. I could live there. The food is great too, and reasonably priced. Drinks are a bit expensive, but they always are in germany. I would definitely recommend visiting.

Badeparadies Schwarzwald

Mentioned on 
+9 other lists 
Water park
Spas & Wellness
Badeparadies Schwarzwald is a tropical indoor paradise featuring a variety of attractions for visitors of all ages. The Galaxy Schwarzwald offers over 20 different thrilling water slides, including the Freefall and Monster Halfpipe. For those seeking relaxation, the Palmenoase provides a tranquil atmosphere with real palm trees, indoor and outdoor pools, as well as a pool bar. Additionally, the wellness area offers various saunas, steam rooms, beauty treatments, and massage options.
Truly a paradise where you can easily spend a lot of time. Quite high prices but it’s really worth it. Pay attention to age entrance policy for kids. They have two areas: lagoon for kids up to 4 and slide zone from 4. Actually your 3 year old is allowed to go to the both. But lagoon zone is just perfect and much quieter. The food was also awesome! And pool bar was cherry on cake! We loved it. Clean, spacious, just awesome!
Julia A — Google review
Badeparadies Titisee is a large, clean, and very well-organized place that’s perfect for all ages. The big wave pool is a highlight – lots of fun and it even goes up to 3.6 meters deep! There’s also a wide variety of slides that keep both kids and adults entertained. Parking is plentiful and easy, which makes the visit even more convenient. A fantastic spot to spend the day – highly recommended!
Yoav A — Google review
My partner and I recently spent time at Badeparadies Schwarzwald, and it was amazing. Everything from the moment we arrived felt well thought out and relaxing. The pools are beautiful, clean, and varied — there’s something for every mood, whether you want relaxing thermal waters, more energetic swims, or quiet spots to just unwind. The wellness areas are superb, and the overall ambience just lets you let go. Staff are friendly, helpful, and really create a calm, welcoming vibe. The only thing I would recommend is come on a day that is slightly less busy. As crowds & Queues can form quickly around the slides or the bubble areas in the pools. We came away feeling refreshed and happy. Would absolutely return
Jack F — Google review
Great place to enjoy with family, kids. water rides for every age group. Highly recommended for short half day trip. Full day is too much as slides are limited.. Restaurant is small with less options. We went on my son birthday but didn't get any discount or free tickets for the birthday kid so we need to buy extra ticket for him. On spot ticket buying is costlier therefore book in advance.
Ashi — Google review
Tickets on the spot are a little more pricey than online. We paid €58 for 2 adults (daytickets). We also rented a bath towel each for €4 a piece. There is a wristband system, each wristband has their own locker number. Any consumption you make/order can be put on the wristband so you can pay when you turn them in at the end of your visit. Handy, as long as you keep track of how much you spend. As it is easy to lose sight of that with a system like this. Prices inside are very good honestly, I don't understand the people who say they're expensive. 4,90 for a THICK slice of Schwarzwalder panna cotta cherry cake and a latte macchiato for about 4,80 as well is more than decent. People are super nice too! Swim up bar is a nice touch. We came for the palm oasis pool thing, Galaxy (slide park) was closed, and we dont really like the nude sauna part that is the vital area thing, but we spent like 4 hours in the normal part of the pool. Nice places to lounge, enjoy the sun, and the salt bath definitely was a nice experience. They also organize various activities like aqua bingo, various treatments, and you can get massages too. We'd love to come back when we are in the area! The staff was pleasant and friendly and the facilities are fantastic.
Claudia ( — Google review
We visited Badeparadies Schwarzwald expecting a high-quality experience, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the price tag. Pros: – The Lagoon area is designed like a 5-star Egyptian resort — palm trees, plenty of loungers, and a nice tropical vibe. – The Vital Sauna area is decent and relaxing — but it comes at an extra cost. Cons: – Extremely overpriced. Base entry is around €60 per person — and that’s without towels, robes, flip-flops, food, or even basic soap in the showers. With meals, drinks, and parking, we spent about €250 for two. – The Galaxy area is small and overcrowded, with very limited entertainment. No inflatable tubes available, and the outdoor pool space is tiny — basically unusable if it’s busy. – Some slides feel unsafe — we witnessed five people in a row hit their temples on the same slide. – Food and drinks are mediocre — cocktails are bland and forgettable. – Even if you pay for a reserved lounger, other guests will try to take it, even if your belongings are clearly there. No real enforcement. – Security staff walk around in groups of five, staring people down — creating more tension than safety. – No real thermal water — it’s just regular heated chlorinated pool water. Conclusion: Badeparadies Schwarzwald tries to look like a luxury wellness resort, but in reality, it’s just a regular waterpark with a pretty facade and a massively inflated price. If you go on a quiet day, it might be enjoyable. But during weekends or busy times, it turns into an overpriced, crowded, and underwhelming experience.

Too small, life guards are not friendly! 4 hours is enough for kids up to 12 years old. Good for rainy days. The best attraction is jumping to pool. For some reason it is not allowed to take pictures on site 🤔
Moty L — Google review
2023: Yeah okay it is expensive, but I had an awesome 4 hour relaxing stay and it is worth it. Go on a evening and it is a quiet place. 2025: So I came back a few years later, This time we enjoyed it like 1000 times better. Not sure why but I would actually highly recommend this place. This time the slides were open as well, so we ran like little childs through the swimming area and took like 100 slides. Parked out motorcycles outside, all your gear can go in their lockers and I would definitely come back.

Tranquil spring next to a palace, considered by some to be the birthplace of the Danube River.
A beautiful place that has a special meaning for me, starting to know this river from the other end... Being able to get here it is a dream come true to me.
Dumitru I — Google review
I had always wanted to visit this tranquil little place, the source of mighty river Danube! It was open for public, no entrance fee whatsoever, it was just a small part of a huge park, you access it from the street with the stairs or small elevator.. the church next door had a terrace overlooking the pond..anyway parking was kind of difficult
Fakhrur ( — Google review
Visiting the Source of the Danube was a fascinating experience. It’s very interesting to see where this famous river begins, knowing that it travels over 2,800 km and passes through many Eastern European countries before reaching the Black Sea. The site itself is simple but meaningful, and it’s worth a stop if you enjoy history, geography, or just learning unique facts about Europe.
Rafi S — Google review
As a romanian citizen i could say this visit is something special for me. You can find a parking place before the palace starts in front of the school in weekend. Walk 5 min until the top on the. On thw other side is a shop where you can buy souvenirs and ask the nice guy for a map. where can you visit "the other side" where the 2 rievers meet about 15 20 min. A beautiful place to walk in nature

(Translated by Google) We read about the bike rental service by chance while on vacation. We then rented a fat bike with a long bench. And what can I say, we were just thrilled. The rental company was really friendly and the ride around the Schluchtensee was just fun on the bike. Thank you very much for that. (Original) Wir haben durch Zufall im Urlaub von dem Fahrradverleih gelesen. Daraufhin haben wir uns ein Fatbike mit einer langen Sitzbank geliehen.

(Translated by Google) Were there for the second time today. The last time was 4 years ago. Like last time, everything worked great and without any problems. We had the fat bikes for 4 hours and rode comfortably around the Schluchsee with the children. The great thing is that young and old can ride it. There was also a child seat for the little one. (Original) Waren heute bereits zum zweiten Mal dort. Das letzte Mal vor 4 Jahren.

(Translated by Google) Segway was fun, but it took us about an hour for the family to complete the training, so there was only an hour left for the panoramic ride. This is suitable for a first trip, but anyone who has already come to Schluchsee by car from the direction of Titisee will not have seen anything new on the route. Friendly owner and guide, who, however, does not give a tour of the region, but rather limits himself to driving lessons. Overall it was rather expensive fun, next time we would rent e-bikes and cycle ourselves. (Original) Segway machte Spass, aber wir brauchten eine knappe Stunde bis die Familie das Training absolviert hatte, so blieb nur noch eine Stunde für die Panoramafahrt. Diese ist geeignet für eine erste Fahrt, aber wer schon mit dem Auto nach Schluchsee kam aus Richtung Titisee hat auf der Strecke nichts Neues mehr gesehen. Freundlicher Besitzer und Guide, der allerdings keine Führung zur Region macht, sondern sich auf den Fahrunterricht beschränkt. Insgesamt ein eher teurer Spass, das nächste Mal würden wir E-Bikes mieten und selber losradeln.

Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
Perched on a hill, Munot is a 16th-century fortress and tower offering panoramic views of the Rhine River and the surrounding village. The circular battlements, built with forced labor, conceal an atmospheric vaulted casemate. Visitors can climb the spiral staircase for breathtaking views over rooftops, spires, and wooded hills. The fortress symbolizes medieval history in Schaffhausen and provides a stunning vantage point to admire the landscape.
No ticket required to enter, can just walk in during the opening hours and explore. Quite a small place as the lower grounds are not open to public. Good view of the river Rhine and the city, can head down towards the city via the stairways nearby
3than S — Google review
Great touristic sight with easy access from the city. You need to climb up some stairways to get to the top. Even on a hot day the basement provides well received shadow and cool atmosphere to chill. There is free arts exhibition and also the access to the top is free of charge. A small kiosk is providing snacks and refreshments. Bathroom and all other facilities are clean and well maintained. The views a breath taking. If you are in the area, plan for a visit. Going up and down including parking will take roughly 30 min not including the time you will spend enjoying the view and the medieval fortress with plenty of historical details.

Munot @ Switzerland 🏰🇨🇭 📍 Schaffhausen, Switzerland Munot is a 16th-century circular fortress overlooking the town of Schaffhausen, offering panoramic views of the old town, the Rhine River, and surrounding vineyards. Built as a defensive structure, it has thick stone walls, a central courtyard, and a prominent tower you can climb for an even better vantage point. The walk up to Munot is scenic, passing through charming cobblestone streets and vineyards. From the top, the view stretches across the rooftops of Schaffhausen and toward the distant hills—a perfect spot for photography and a peaceful break from the busier town areas. 🧭 Tip: Visit in the late afternoon for softer light and fewer crowds, or at sunset for stunning golden-hour views. Entry is free, and the climb isn’t too strenuous.

Nice castle offering great views of the city. The is no entrance fee and there is a convenient parking close by. Note that the bridge near Munot parking is currently closed for repairs until December 25 do you need to climb down and up again the stairs.
Petros P — Google review
This was such a cool fortress to visit. It was completely free to walk around the grounds and into the tower itself. There are deer on the grounds that are beautiful to watch. It was not very busy on a Saturday morning. You have to walk up a good bit of stairs and some of the interior is very dimly lit, so people who are a fall risk might not enjoy this activity. Lots of information on plaques and audio in English and German.
Common — Google review
Really cool place, with nice view of the city and surrounded by deers in the dry moat. On the top you can even order some food and have a great time looking at the Rhine.
Vitor F — Google review
Look for deer! Castle Munot is a fortress above the old town of Schaffhausen. Built in 1589 based on designs by artist Albrecht Dürer, its distinctive circular form reflects Renaissance military engineering principles where curved, sloping walls deflected cannonball impacts rather than absorbing them at vulnerable corners.

The boat took off on time and we enjoyed a very long trip passing through an amazing natural environment. Beautiful landscape between these two cities. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a delicious lunch in the restaurant on the lower floor with a priceless view. The boat itself but also the washrooms were very clean. It was a great experience and my wife and kids got very happy. I can only recommend it. A big thanks goes to the staff.

Rhine Falls

Mentioned on

Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Rhine Falls, also known as Rheinfall in German, is the largest waterfall in Europe, located along the Rhine River in Switzerland. The falls are 150m wide and 23m high and have been a source of inspiration for artists like Turner. Visitors can take boat trips, explore viewing platforms, and join guided tours to fully experience this natural wonder. One popular viewpoint is from the walls around Laufen Castle, offering striking views of the falls.
Absolutely breathtaking! The waterfalls in Switzerland are like something out of a postcard – powerful, majestic, and surrounded by stunning natural beauty. The sound of the rushing water combined with the fresh mountain air makes the experience unforgettable. The area is well-maintained, easy to access, and perfect for both nature lovers and photographers. Definitely a must-see if you’re visiting Switzerland! 🇨🇭

Stunning place, absolutely amazing. Even though it was a rainy morning, the view over the falls and around was breathtaking. I bought boat ride tickets online, but I couldn't use them because our bus tour arrived too early and we only stayed for one hour. There is a very pleasant promenade with benches to rest on, multiple viewing platforms, a couple of gift shops, and several toilet facilities.

It is a beautiful waterfall. I came to it with the knowledge that it is Europe's largest and most powerful waterfall but when I saw it I was not impressed at all. Compared to the major waterfalls in other continents, it is not that large or powerful. But it is beautiful. And the walkway that leads to it is fine. There is plenty of water and it is so beautifully blue. The foamy water under the waterfall is nice to see. And there are quite a few waterbirds there such as gulls.

The Rhine Fall offer a truly spectacular natural experience. We have visited several times and we loved it everytime. Until now, we have always chosen the entrance via Laufen Castle, which features a panoramic trail and a viewing platform situated halfway down. A staircase leads directly to the base of the falls, and after passing through a short tunnel carved into the rock, visitors can admire the waterfall from an impressive side vantage point. Watching the immense volumes of water cascade downward is endlessly captivating — a sight that draws us back time and again. I can also recommend to enjoy the boat ride to the Fall. It‘s a great experience!

Absolutely breathtaking! The view of Rheinfall is simply amazing—powerful, majestic, and unforgettable. Whether you're standing on the viewing platform or taking a boat ride close to the falls, the experience is incredible. Nature at its finest!

A wonderful creation of nature and if you are in Zurich i would recommend having a visit to Rhine falls. It is easily accessible via train and there is a train station that gets you right to the viewing point of rhine falls. You have to buy a ticket to enter the falls which was around 5CHF at the ticket vending machine located there. No need to prebook the tickets. Then you have to take some steps down thus a small walk will take you to the viewing platform of this huge waterfall. You will feel the mist as the water power is really great at the viewing platform. There are several boat services which you can hop on to on an extra cost and will take you closer to the falls.
Uvini R — Google review
A must-visit Swiss landmark! Plan at least half a day, walk down from the castle to the waterfall, enjoy the view at various view points, take a boat tour with an audio guide, have a bite, walk back around the waterfall and over the bridge. Visit after a heavy rain when the waterfall has lots of water. Try to come during the week when it’s less busy. There is a little tourist train going around the waterfall and showing some of Schaffhausen. Very easily accessible by car or by train.

It was my first visit to Brugg, Bad Schinznach on Saturday, April 26, 2025. Before that, I had visited other thermal baths in Switzerland and had always had good experiences. However, the service at Bad Schinznach was not just lacking — it was a truly terrible experience, mainly due to the behavior of a cleaning lady in the sauna area. She aggressively approached me, shouting and violating personal space, humiliating me in front of other people — all because I entered the cold pool near the sauna wearing a swimsuit (it’s important to mention that there was no sign indicating that swimsuits were not allowed in that pool!). In any case, it could have been communicated politely and without any issue. However, this cleaning lady continued to yell at me in Swiss German with a strong accent. When I politely asked her — in both English and German — to calmly repeat what she meant, she kept shouting with an angry expression. Some guests finally helped by translating, explaining that I was supposed to enter naked the pool without a swimsuit. Of course, after that I had no desire to continue either using the pool or staying in the sauna area or thermal bad in general, especially as this staff member kept following me around with an unfriendly, hostile attitude. It was a very unpleasant and humiliating experience. It is a pity that local staff are not properly trained on how to behave towards customers and that basic respect for people seems to be missing.

Even though a fun place to go to, it's very expensive, especially if you are a bit late in getting out of the baths you pay extra. I went with family and kids, it took us time to dress them, all of us had to pay extra for the extra time! Will not visit again unless I have to. The second point being the indoor pool was quite cold, so the kids were cold too and so were we.

In reception there is confusion about options. I wasn’t properly informed and I bought not the ticket I wanted. Sauna… you have to be totally naked (nobody at reception informs you about it). And it is common sauna- men and women together. So no division section there. For me it is not pleasant experience seeing other people going around naked without anything. And foremost it is not hygienic when they sit with no underwear no towel in sauna. Disgusting. On the top stuff ordered me to be naked or to leave!!!!!. It wasn’t pleasant experience- not worth money.

We booked a yoga weekend with two yoga classes and a beautiful garden room. The room was very stylish and nicely furnished, with a small terrace overlooking the garden. It is wonderfully quiet here, and the gardens and the entire grounds are breathtakingly beautiful.

The staff were very friendly and the bar serves excellent drinks, also made with products from the Kartause. We will definitely be back and recommend this place to everyone!

A Gem Near Fraunfeld: Kratause Ittingen Monastery Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review: Kratause Ittingen monastery, conveniently close to Fraunfeld, pleasantly surprised me with its offerings. Parking is free, adding to the convenience of the visit. I expected a quick stop, but ended up staying for over two hours, captivated by the experience. The monastery features a charming shop offering local goods, including their own beer, which you can enjoy in their cozy restaurant. The highlight for me was the unique windmill wheel indoors, adding a special touch to the ambiance. The weather during my visit was lovely, perfect for capturing memorable photographs, although the wind was a bit strong. Despite the pleasant weather, I decided to leave after taking some pictures. Overall, Kartause Ittingen is a hidden gem worth exploring, especially for those in the Fraunfeld area. I highly recommend a visit.

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

Amazing Day In an Incredible Museum On a rare day when my children were off school (but all other schools were open) we visited Technorama and had an amazing day. There were only a few visitors, but enough to seem alive and the weather was perfect for visiting the outside area. The museum itself is so well made and organized. The number of engaging exhibits and well-done live shows/demonstrations will keep people of all ages busy all day. Special recognition goes to the restaurant staff for the freshly made food and the extremely friendly interaction during our lunch. We waited years for the children to be old enough to appreciate the museum - we won't wait so long before our next visit.

It’s so big, hours of entertainment for the kids in all different science categories with hand on experiment exhibits. There’s also a restaurant on site, plus an outdoor area with more exhibits. We spent 3.5 hours and didn’t get to do the outside area before closing, and we weren’t super slow going through the exhibits either.

This is hands down the best science museum that I’ve ever been to - everything was hands-on and interactive and really snuck in the science in a way that makes learning enjoyable. We spent almost 5 hours exploring the space with a 4 year old and could have easily spent more. The food in the cafeteria was pretty good, and I liked that you paid for the pasta by weight so you could take a smaller portion and not waste food. 10/10 way to spend a rainy day

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

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

Really impressed by the Zurich zoo. It's a very large space with panoramic views, plenty of amenities and carefully designed enclosures for the animals that give them plenty of space to explore and hide. The rainforest dome with its tree canopy walk is a highlight, as are the snow leopards. The leopardess had three cubs in spring 2025, and watching them play was absolutely delightful. The zoo has a great balance of large animals (lions, giraffes, llamas, kangaroos,....) and small animals (fish, insects, tree frogs), all sensitively housed and explained. You could easily spend a whole day there. The setting is hilly, so it does take some stamina to walk through. It's only 15 minutes by tram from central Zurich. A great choice for a tourist on a Monday when the museums are closed.

The zoo itself it's very user friendly, it has food stands on the paths, the food is very expensive though. Some of the animals look depressed, specially the elephants. Other than that, it's a beautiful experience, walking outdoors and enjoying the company of your family or your special ones

It was a huge zoo with lots of cool stuff. Loved that the animals had sprawling enclosures. But many of the animals were nowhere to be found, with no explanation or signage. We'd walk a mile+ with the kids to see the lions or gorillas and discover they're not there that day?? It was also incredibly crowded. We went on a random Wednesday day in August and the line to buy tickets for anyone who hadn't bought online was very long.

Nice place, you can tell they take well care of the animals, it was also clean and had many WC on the way. It is a big area to cover, better go with time (3-4 hrs if with children).

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

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

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

The Kunsthaus Zürich is a renowned art museum in Europe, managed by the Zurich Society of Arts and with roots tracing back to 1787. It boasts extensive collections from various artists, including a significant number of Charles Munch's paintings and the most important assortment of Monet's works outside Paris. The museum focuses on showcasing high-quality works by artists across different periods, with particular strength in Impressionist, post-Impressionist, and modern art.
We visited during Zurich Art Weekend and it was fantastic! So many great 🖼️ and also few interactive displays. Its great that they label the art - stolen / not stolen. We easily spent there 3 hours! Its worth getting ticket to all exhibitions when you have time. You will enjoy all the Picasso’s and other great paintings.

An incredible museum, with access to two two-floor buildings filled with masterpieces. We explored the main museum first and got to see so many wonderful paintings from artists like Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Picasso and so many others, but I saw that they had the second largest Munch collection and when I asked they told me it's in the second building. Went through the underground tunnel and there he was on the second floor. I was left speechless and spent hours and hours going through all the wonderful rooms. Would definitely visit again!
Leni A — Google review
Cultural jewel in the heart of Zurich - Kunsthaus truly impressed.We didn't expect to discover such a remarkable collection of great masters - Rembrandt, Dutch classics, Monet, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Chagall, Modigliani... an entire constellation of art legends. One of the highlights was a striking passage hall showcasing works by the famous Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler. The museum also includes a piece by Alberto Giacometti, the globally recognized Swiss sculptor known for his distinctive style. The spaces are bright and spacious, making it easy to linger and absorb the atmosphere. Lockers are available for storing personal items - a thoughtful convenience. And the museum shop? A delight, as always. I'm drawn to art museum stores, and this one felt like a mini treasure hunt - full of creative finds and unique keepsakes. Conclusion: Zurich shines with artistic brilliance - a true cultural powerhouse

The Kunsthaus Zurich boasts a vast collection, divided into two sections: the Old and the Old. Some of the works are truly magnificent, and even someone like me, who doesn't know much about art, finds them truly stunning. I wouldn't be able to fully explain them, though. Whether you're an art enthusiast or a tourist, this is a place worth visiting.

Nothing short of outstanding in every aspect. I new I was going to see artwork old and not so old of many big-name artists, but the excellent way the collections were arranged and information provided on the artists etc. together with practical aspects (the two very spacious beautiful buildings across the street are connected with a pleasant subterranean walkway, there are cloakrooms with plenty of lockers, many toilets, two cafeterias, an amazing souvenir shop, and very helpful staff everywhere), all that made for a beautiful day at Kunsthaus Zürich. I thought kids would not be bored and surely love for instance an amazing LED lights and sound show, or an all-around video projection.

The museum offers free entry on every Wednesday to collections and small exhibitions, and it totally worth it. A fee can be paid extra for an audio guide. Impressive art from 14th to nowadays periods are exposed, and it could take up to 2 hours to see everything. The collections are very impressive along with the architecture of the museum building as well. Visitors are not allowed with bottles of water so I had to go up and down to the locker room few times due to incomplete guidance I received at the reception in regards the luggage rule.

Mountain peak

Mountains
Uetliberg, often referred to as Zurich's local mountain, is a small but beloved peak offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city, Lake Zurich, and even the Alps on clear days. Accessible by a short tram ride from the main train station followed by a brief walk, this mountain is popular year-round. Visitors can enjoy family-friendly hikes, picnics in summer, and toboggan runs in winter.
Wonderful nature experience. Many beautiful streets. Very good walking paths. Beautiful views.

Beautiful view of Zurich and surrounding area. Only a little over hour hike from the bottom to the top. Highly recommend
Lejmanowski — Google review
On the one day I had to visit Uetliberg, the trains were closed. There were replacement busses. It was still very convenient to get there, and then get back to the city centre when I was done. The views are breathtaking. Make it a priority to budget some time to visit Uetliberg when in Zurich.
Bryan S — Google review
We had a fantastic time here! Getting to this beautiful location is a breeze, with buses and trains stopping right there. The hiking trails are easy to navigate, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. On a clear day, you get a full panoramic vista of Lake Zürich and the majestic Alps. The whole area is wonderfully clean, which really makes the experience even better. At the summit, you can take a well-deserved break and enjoy the view. You can bring your own food or buy something from the food stand or the 'Top of Zürich' restaurant. For an unforgettable perspective, be sure to pay the small fee to climb the view tower—it's worth it! A friendly tip: remember to have some coins handy for the public restrooms!!!

If you’re in Zürich, Uetliberg is a must. Take the S10 commuter train from Zürich HB - it stops at Triemli if you want to start a longer hike, or you can ride it all the way up to Uetliberg station. From there it’s a short uphill walk; you should be reasonably surefooted, but it’s not too difficult. At the top you’re rewarded with a perfect panorama of the city, the lake (Zürisee), and on clear days even the Alps.

This is a must if you are visiting Zurich, it provides great views of the city. You can hike up to the summit or take public transport. As my son can't walk far we chose public transport. Normally you can get the train but it's not currently running although there was a replacement bus service. The bus dropped us about ten mins from the top and we walked the final section. At the top there's plenty to do, a food truck and a restaurant up there. You can also head up the tower for an even better view, it costs 2 swiss francs payable by card at the gate. One thing you need to do is make sure the transaction goes through before someone comes down or you could be charged without going through.

Lion Monument

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Lion Monument in Lucerne, Switzerland is a poignant and enduring tourist attraction. It was created to honor the Swiss mercenaries who lost their lives defending the Tuileries Palace during an attack in 1792. The monument features a sculpture of a dying lion impaled by a spear, carved into natural sandstone rock above a pond. The names of the fallen officers and soldiers are engraved nearby, adding to the melancholic atmosphere of the setting.
We wandered through the vibrant city center and stumbled upon a hidden gem. It was a remarkable spot to explore and offered a stunning backdrop for photos in the heart of Luzern. Though it was a bit bustling, we seized the moment and captured a beautiful picture.
Mrs T — Google review
As a tourist attraction, the Lion Monument is relatively small in scale, yet it draws a large number of visitors. The sculpture of the dying lion is strikingly lifelike, full of emotion and quiet power. In front of the carving lies a small reflecting pool, where a few lonely fallen leaves float on the water, adding to the somber mood of the place. Overall, the visit takes about 5–10 minutes. No tickets required.
Sweet K — Google review
A truly impressive monument, much bigger than I expected and really beautiful. The Lion of Lucerne is carved directly into the rock to honor the Swiss Guards who died during the French Revolution. The expression of the lion is incredibly realistic and moving. The surrounding park and pond make it a peaceful place to stop and reflect. Definitely worth a visit!
Patrizia P — Google review
The Lion Monument is located in Lucerne, Switzerland, it is a massive rock commemorating the Swiss Guards who were killed defending King Louis XVI during the French Revolution in 1792. It is a very peaceful and tranquil place to visit, as there is a small reflection pool at the base with lovely trees and flowers around. It is easy to find and an easier walk to get there.

Lion monument was made to honour mercenary soldiers of Switzerland who died during the French revolution. The monument is stunning with huge lion sculpture in a rock with high level detailing. The surroundings are very beautiful and this is an ideal place for photoshop. Don't miss out to see the reflection of lion monument in the small lake below it. This is a must visit place in Lucerne and an important part of Swiss history.

Magnificent though-provoking monument to Swiss guards who died defending French king at the revolution times, emphasizing sacrifice by the people who fulfilled their professional duties to the end at the cost of their lives. It’s a small public park easily accessible by 10 mins walk from Lucerne lake shore. There are restrooms onsite, also expect the park to be crowded almost at any time of the day.
Mike Z — Google review
Shaded area with a calm pond and beautifully carved sculpture. There are historical and interpretive signs all around, plus a few benches. Additionally, we found the most technologically-advanced, free public restrooms we'd ever seen here - I seriously almost took a photo of the inside of it!

Rathaus Stadt Luzern

City government office
Neighborhoods
Rathaus Stadt Luzern is an impressive Italian Renaissance-style town hall that has been a significant building in Lucerne for centuries. Designed by Anton Isenmann and constructed between 1602 and 1606, it serves as the seat of government. Located along the charming Kornmarkt square, its towering structure and sturdy stone walls can be seen from Chapel Bridge. The landmark also features a beautiful clock tower, adding to its historical significance.
Visited the Rathaus in Luzern last week, and it’s such a gem! The building itself is stunning—classic Swiss architecture with those beautiful frescoes and wooden details. It’s right by the river, so the location is perfect for a stroll after checking it out. We popped into the basement restaurant too, and the food was surprisingly good—solid Swiss dishes with a cozy vibe. Staff were super friendly, and it wasn’t too crowded, even with tourists around. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in Luzern, especially if you love history and a good photo op!

Chapel Bridge

Mentioned on

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
The Chapel Bridge, also known as Kapellbrucke, is a 14th-century wooden bridge in Lucerne that is considered one of the oldest covered wooden bridges in Europe. It is a significant part of the city's medieval fortifications and was named after St. Peter's Chapel nearby. The bridge crosses the River Reuss and features a roof adorned with 17th-century paintings depicting local history.
Walking across the Chapel Bridge after dark is just an absolutely core Lucerne experience. During the day it's beautiful, but at night, it's pure magic. You stand in the middle of this ancient wooden bridge, and the view from it is just incredible. The old buildings along the riverfront, like the Am-Rhyn-Haus with its clock tower, are all lit up, and their lights shimmer and reflect on the water. It’s so quiet and peaceful. I must have taken a dozen photos just like these, trying to capture how beautiful it was. If you're looking for a romantic spot or just a place to have a quiet moment, this is it. An absolute must-do.
Chieh-Sheng C — Google review
We had a wonderful experience visiting the Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) in Lucerne. It was a beautiful evening, and the entire setting felt almost magical. The iconic wooden bridge, with its charming roof and historic paintings, reflected perfectly in the calm waters of the Reuss River—making it one of the most picturesque spots we’ve seen in Switzerland. What made the experience even more special was the atmosphere around the bridge. As we walked through, the gentle lighting and the flower decorations along the bridge added to the charm. Right nearby, the Old Town was buzzing with life. The streets were lively with cafés, restaurants, and little shops, making it a joy to stroll through. The blend of history, culture, and energy gave the whole area a very warm and welcoming vibe. Walking across the bridge and then meandering through the cobblestone streets of Old Town felt like stepping into a postcard. The combination of medieval architecture, colorful buildings, and the vibrant evening atmosphere made the entire experience unforgettable. If you are in Lucerne, visiting Chapel Bridge is absolutely a must-do, especially in the evening when the city lights and reflections on the river create such a breathtaking scene. It’s not just a landmark—it’s a place that captures the heart and soul of Lucerne.
Gaurav S — Google review
Chapel Bridge lives up to the hype being the most iconic outdoor attraction in Lucerne. Pictures of the bridge from the river shore streets are more scenic than photos taken from the bridge itself. Given that fire of 1993 destroyed at least two thirds of the bridge, don’t expect too much from exposed paintings. Fortunately, Water Tower was spared and bridge was rebuilt and reopened in 8 months carefully reconstructed to preserve historic details.

Beautiful bridge which has significant history; there had been a fire in the 90's but apart from some blackened sections it had been repaired. It was not crowded. It provided lovely views of the mountains, lake and Luzern itself. The wood is lovely and the craftsmanship is evident everywhere with examples of quality joinery etc. It's a short walk from the main railway station. I found it peaceful and calming. We were out of season.

The Chapel Bridge is an absolute gem in the heart of Lucerne. This historic wooden bridge, adorned with beautiful flower boxes, offers stunning views of the Reuss River and the charming old town. Walking across feels like stepping back in time, especially with the unique triangular paintings under the roof that tell stories from Lucerne’s past. It’s not just a bridge—it’s an experience that combines history, architecture, and breathtaking scenery.

Walked across Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) in Lucerne, and it was absolutely beautiful. The historic wooden bridge, decorated with colorful flowers and paintings, stretches across the Reuss River with a breathtaking backdrop of mountains and old town buildings. The reflection of the bridge in the calm water adds to its charm, especially around sunset. The whole area has a peaceful yet lively vibe — full of history and beauty. It’s one of those places that perfectly captures the spirit of Switzerland: calm, timeless, and picturesque.

Absolutely breathtaking! My last summer trip for the year and so glad we made the train ride up here. Low key we didn’t hike up only down but that was more than enough to make some memories I’ll cherish for a life time.

The access from Luzern is convenient. While I went sightseeing, the souvenir shop at the station kindly kept my suitcase for me. The staff there were very friendly and kind, and I ended up buying some souvenirs afterward. The view from the mountain was beautiful. Although it was cloudy at first, the clouds gradually cleared, and I was able to fully enjoy the scenery.

Really enjoyed our ride up the funicular to the top. We then used the restroom on the top, had a quick meal, took a few photos, and then begun our descent. We walked as far as we could on the day down before getting tired and joining a funicular stop down. Along the way there were a few homes that opened as mini stop areas for food. No ticks no bugs, really great to be at a high altitude. Plenty of cows and bells welcoming you along the way.

We took a ferry from Luzern (just outside of Luzern train station) and after one hour got off at Vitznau. The mountain railway is just outside the station, and with 30 min it took us to the top of Rigi. After 40 min walk we reached Rigi Kaltabad, from where we took a cable and with 5 min we were down to Weggis, another 15 min walk we got to the ferry station and boarded the ferry back to Luzern. All is covered by Swiss Travel Pass. The view alongside the journey is splendid.

Lake Lucerne is the fourth-largest lake in Switzerland and offers boat trips with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. A steam boat trip from Lucerne to Uri, lasting about 2.5 hours, provides stunning views along the shores and into the mountains. The southernmost part of Lake Lucerne, Urnersee (Lake of Uri), is rich in Swiss history and mythology, featuring iconic spots like the meadow of Rutli and Tellsplatte.
Lake Lucerne, Switzerland 🇨🇭💙 Lake Lucerne is truly one of the most beautiful lakes in Switzerland, just next to Lake Lungern in terms of natural beauty. The crystal-clear water, the surrounding mountains, and the peaceful environment make it a perfect destination for nature lovers. Whether you’re walking along the shore, taking a boat ride, or simply enjoying the breathtaking scenery — it’s a place where you feel calm and refreshed.

Located in the middle of Lucerne city, surrounded by the beautiful Alps Hills. Lake Lucerne is a very picturesque one, probably one of the most beautiful lake in Switzerland. Also is one of the main attractions of Lucerne (while it also has become one of the most recognizable images of the country). It is a symbol of the city and gives a sublime beauty on sunny days. Especially when even the nearby peaks are still snow-covered and can be seen in the background the Pilatus, majestic. There are many boats that allow you to traverse the lake and cross from one bank to another or even cruise excursions to nearby towns. It's a pretty big lake reaching over 210 meters. PS:- Highly Recommended for taking a boat tour around it to enjoy the tranquil beauty it holds.

Mount Pilatus

Mountains
Mount Pilatus is a stunning mountain peak in Switzerland, offering sweeping views and a range of amenities including a restaurant and hotel. Situated on the shores of Lake Lucerne, it provides an incredible setting with views of famous mountains like Rigi and Stanserhorn. The area also boasts a well-preserved medieval Old Town, souvenir shops, high-quality restaurants, and beautiful waterfront promenades.
I am struggling to find the right words to describe how incredible Mount Pilatus is. All I can say is that you absolutely CANNOT miss this if you are anywhere near Lucerne. The adventure begins with the cogwheel railway from Alpnachstad, which was full of surprises. Of course, the views are amazing, but I was not expecting the ride to be such a thrill! It climbs at a seriously steep angle, and it's fascinating to watch the scenery and plants completely change as you shoot up the mountain. Once you get to the top, there are several easy, short hiking trails, and every single step is just ridiculously beautiful. You get these insane 360-degree views of Lucerne's unique landscape, the massive lake, and snow-capped mountains in the distance. The photos don't even do it justice. And the wildlife! We saw mountain goats just chilling on the cliffs, basically posing for our pictures. Not to mention the friendly yellow-billed choughs (like mountain ducks) that are everywhere. From the journey up to the views at the top, this was a 10/10 experience. Just do it!
Chieh-Sheng C — Google review
If you're in or neat Lucerne Mount Pilatus is a must see. I took the train from Lucerne to Alpnachstad and then took the cog train up the mountain.

The staff were helpful and very professional, making the experience smooth from start to finish.

Highly recommended for anyone visiting Switzerland — Mount Pilatus truly feels like being on top of the world!

Mount Pilatus was definitely a highlight of the trip to Switzerland. The weather in mid September was cooperative (it was as warm and sunny on the mountain as in Lucerne). Classic trip as advised: bus, cable cars to the mountain and trip back via cog-wheel train and lake cruise ending in Lucerne. Nature beauty is unreal, hiking a few paths at the top (paved or stairs) is almost a must. Utter surprise how tasty were the local beef hot dogs at the fast food joint on the mountain.

Titlis Cliff Walk

The Titlis Cliff Walk is a thrilling pedestrian suspension bridge situated at the peak of Mount Titlis in Switzerland. As Europe's highest suspension bridge, it offers breathtaking views of the Uri Alps and an adrenaline-pumping experience as it hangs over 500 meters above the ground. Accessible via the Titlis Rotair gondola, this 100-meter-long bridge provides an awe-inspiring opportunity to walk across a narrow pathway high above the alpine abyss.
Unforgettable Mount Titlis Experience! ❄️🇨🇭 Visiting Mount Titlis in Switzerland was truly a dream come true! From the scenic cable car ride with jaw-dropping panoramic views to reaching the snow-covered peak—it was magical from start to finish. I had my lunch right on the mountain, and believe me, the combination of good food and spectacular views made it extra special. Despite the crowds, the entire place was impressively clean and well-maintained. The highlights? So many! Walking through the ice cave, gliding through the snow on the ice flyer, braving the hanging bridge suspended over the Alps, and the thrilling ice gliding were all beyond amazing. Each activity added a unique touch to the adventure. I would absolutely do this again and again—it’s that memorable. If you ever find yourself in Engelberg, don’t miss this place. I highly recommend Mount Titlis to anyone visiting Switzerland. You’ll fall in love with it just like I did!

The walk was so exciting! We crossed cliffs surrounded by eternal snow, and when I visited in autumn, the temperature was around –2°C. There were many tourists from Asia, and I was glad to find a prayer room (musholla) and a restaurant nearby. Unfortunately, I couldn’t play in the snow yet because it wasn’t the right season. But don’t worry — I’ll be coming back this winter for sure! ❄️🇨🇭

This was a really cool part of the Titlis summit experience. This bridge was one of my favorite parts up there. The views are just nuts, surrounding you by snow and mountains in every direction. Just a heads up, everyone stops to take pictures on it, so it can get a little clogged up. It was also cool to see who else was braving the heights—we saw a huge number of tourists from India and a lot from China. It doesn't take long to do, and it's included with your ticket. It's a must-do for the great photos and the bragging rights!

Titlis is a renowned mountain destination that boasts the world's first cable car, providing access to a skiing area, suspension bridge, and glacier caves. The area also offers a variety of dining options, including cozy fondue restaurants and Italian eateries. Visitors can enjoy the panoramic views while dining at the Panorama Self-Service restaurant. Additionally, there are accommodation options such as the Spannort Hotel & Restaurant in Engelberg, which provides easy access to Titlis and other attractions in the area.
Our family trip to Mount Titlis in Switzerland was truly unforgettable. The journey itself began with a stunning ride from Lucerne to Engelberg, which is the base station for Titlis. The scenic views along the way are absolutely breathtaking and make the trip worthwhile even before reaching the mountain. From Engelberg, we took the gondola ride up to the summit. The ride is smooth and offers spectacular panoramic views of the Swiss Alps, valleys, and snowcapped peaks—an experience in itself. At the top, we enjoyed exploring the famous Cliff Walk, which is thrilling and offers unmatched views of the surrounding mountains. We also walked through the Glacier Cave, an enchanting tunnel of ice that fascinated both adults and kids. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions, the Ice Flyer chairlift and Snow Park were closed during our visit, but there was still plenty to enjoy. For meals, there are several restaurants inside offering pizza, pasta, and other cuisines, which made it easy and convenient to relax after exploring. Overall, Mount Titlis is a perfect family destination—offering adventure, incredible alpine beauty, and unique activities. Even with some attractions closed, the experience was magical and is a must-do when visiting Switzerland.

Beautiful mountains. There are many activities. Suspension bridge, glacier cave,cliff walk etc. I visited in the mid of August. Because of rain and fog they closed Suspension bridge. Cliff walk also not done, Because of poor visibility. We should avoid visiting if the weather is bad. But the cable car ride was too good I could not take pictures much Because of the weather. They have restaurant in the 2nd floor. , coffee station, souvenir shop etc. One should wear good layers even in summer time. Because it's cold on top of the hills. Carry umbrella, rain coat, gloves.

Good but not great. Titlis is widely popular as a budget friendly alternative to expensive Jungfraujoch which results in huge crowds coming here even on weekdays. The rotating cable car is always overcrowded. On the top level, there are activities like 'I love Titlis' photospot, Titlis cliff walk, Ice caves with ice sculptures and DDLJ cutout for Indians. Ice Flyer requires an extra ticket to be purchased. However will not recommended it as crowd spoils everything here. The restaurant on top is good and you can also bring packed food and eat in seating area there enjoying stunning views from windows. On first level from where you change to Rotating cable car there is snow park which has activities like snow tubing and sledging which are free. I enjoyed snow tubing it was great fun and a must do. There is also free shuttle service from Engleberg station to Titlis base. One star deducted for excessive crowds. The snow on top is very very slippery so mind your steps. If you are looking for privacy and calm experience, I would recommend to skip Titlis and go to other swiss snow mountains like Schilthorn, Matterhorn glacier paradise, Gornergrat Matterhorn or Glacier 3000 which are less crowded.

It was an unforgettable experience for me. Enjoyed the journey from Zurich to Mount Titlis. Cable car and rotating Gondola ride was exciting. Experiencing the Glacier cave was amazing. Enjoyed every second during my trip to Mount Titlis. While descending also visited the lake in between. Lake and the surrounding was serene. I had booked my journey from Zurich HB station. There is information center. People there are very friendly to assist. I shall cherish this memory lifelong.

Under Construction and lot of space reserved and restricted, few restaurants space used by few people as prayer room… restaurants views also obstructed…. Construction will complete somewhere in 2026-2027. Single photo on ice flyer and clif walk cost 19 CHF. Few other places are also closed and under renovation… snow park is not active… on lake should have installed paddle boat so people not expert can enjoy and sign board says on own risk….

An Unforgettable Alpine Paradise! A visit to Mount Titlis is, without a doubt, one of the most breathtaking experiences you can have in the Swiss Alps. From the incredible journey to the summit to the spectacular activities at the top, every moment is filled with awe-inspiring beauty and a sense of adventure. It's an absolute must-do for anyone visiting Switzerland. The Gondola Ride: A Rotating Spectacle The journey to the summit is an attraction in itself. It begins with a comfortable gondola ride from Engelberg, gliding smoothly over lush green valleys and charming Swiss chalets. But the true highlight is the final leg of the ascent on the Titlis Rotair, the world's first revolving cable car. As you step inside, the gondola begins a slow, 360-degree rotation, ensuring that you don't miss a single angle of the phenomenal landscape unfolding below. You'll watch as the green pastures give way to rugged rock faces and then to a vast expanse of pristine white snow and ice. The panoramic view of the surrounding peaks is simply jaw-dropping, making the ride up an unforgettable and magical experience. Breathtaking Panoramas from the Summit Reaching the summit at over 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) feels like stepping into another world. The air is crisp, and you are surrounded by a stunning panorama of snow-covered mountains and ancient glaciers. On a clear day, the view seems endless, stretching across the Uri Alps. The viewing platform offers a perfect vantage point to soak it all in. Standing there, above the clouds, you truly feel on top of the world. The sheer scale and raw beauty of the alpine landscape are humbling and will be etched in your memory forever. The Thrilling Cliff Walk For those seeking a bit of a thrill, the Titlis Cliff Walk is an absolute must. As Europe's highest suspension bridge, it's an engineering marvel that offers an exhilarating experience. Stepping onto the bridge, with a sheer drop below you, is a heart-pounding moment. Yet, any fear is quickly replaced by wonder as you walk across, suspended in the air with the majestic glacier and mountain peaks all around you. It’s a short walk, but the combination of adrenaline and spectacular scenery makes it one of the most unique and memorable parts of the visit. In summary, Mount Titlis delivers an exceptional alpine adventure. The combination of the revolutionary gondola ride, the awe-inspiring summit views, and the adventurous Cliff Walk makes for a perfect day trip. It's a place of immense natural beauty that offers both tranquility and excitement. Highly recommended!

Super impressive to see a glacier with your own eyes. It's well managed and completely safe. You could potentially go with just a T-shirt if the weather is above 0° in the summer but I jacket is recommend.

Schöllenen Gorge

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Ravine
Sights & Landmarks
Schöllenen Gorge, located between the towns of Goschenen and Andermatt, is a stunning canyon formed by the river Reuss. This steep gorge offers a panoramic road and railway adorned with dramatic bridges and tunnels, including the famous Teufelsbrucke (Devils Bridge) which dates back to 1595. The area also features attractions like the Suvorow bar and Russian monument, making it a historic site with plenty to explore.
This bridge is about 20 minutes away from the train station in Andermatt. You will have to cross a tunnel (short one though) to reach the bridge...and it is fantastic! There is also a Monument (Suworow) very close to the bridge. The people into rock climbing also have the chance to do so in the area. Pristine waters, nature and high mountains make it an awesome place to visit!

Very nice hike that is easy to get to from Andermatt. We walked down the path to the pretty bridge at the bottom (all downhill). Then walked back up and then cut into the tunnels to check out the other side of the river. It’s cool to watch the people doing the via Ferrata (near the start of the trail). Easy-ish hike/walk and very pretty scenery.

(Translated by Google) Fascinating! You can imagine how it was over here centuries ago and how people simply couldn't get any further, what masterpieces builders and engineers achieved, and how bitterly the fight must have been for this bottleneck! (Original) Faszinierend! Man kann sich vorstellen, wie hier vor Jahrhunderten „Schluss“ war und die Menschen einfach nicht mehr weiter kamen, welche Meisterleistungen Bauleute und Ingenieure vollbracht haben, und wie erbittert um dieses Nadelöhr gekämpft worden sein muss!

(Translated by Google) Worth seeing, well laid out tour, even through the mountain, about 20 min. The way to Göschenen is not worth it, rather boring, there and back 11km, just under 400m elevation gain (Original) Sehenswerter, toll angelegter Rundgang , sogar durch den Berg, ca 20 min. Der Weg nach Göschenen lohnt sich nicht, eher langweilig, hin und zurück 11km, knapp 400hm

(Translated by Google) The Schöllenen gorge is an impressive gorge with stunning bridges. A very beautiful cycle path leads past it from Göschenen on to Andermatt. (Original) Die Schöllenen ist eine eindrucksvolle Schlucht mit beeindruckenen Brücken. Es führt auch ein sehr schöner Radwwg von Göschenen aus hier vorbei weiter nach Andermatt.

The Oberalp Pass is a stunning alpine route with spectacular views, boasting a panoramic restaurant and bar at the summit. It offers hiking trails for exploring the surrounding scenery and there is also a nearby ski area for winter sports enthusiasts. Despite its natural wonders, visitors passing through on the Glacier Express may not have much time to fully appreciate its beauty. Nevertheless, it remains one of the most awe-inspiring places to visit in the mountains.
Oberalp Pass (Alpsu) – A Scenic Alpine Connection The Oberalp Pass, also known as Alpsu, sits 2,044 meters above sea level, linking the Swiss cantons of Graubünden and Uri between Disentis and Andermatt. This high mountain pass is a stunning route through rugged nature, perfect for hiking or driving while enjoying breathtaking views of the Alps. In winter, it transforms into a fantastic ski area, although it may be closed during bad weather. From the pass, you can hike to the source of the Rhine in about two hours, making it a rewarding destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

We passed this pass in March and it was frozen. Filled with a huge blanket of snow. Wonderful to see.

Amazing views at the top and along the way. This is not a hike for beginners and definitely pack light if you are going to different lodges or go slower if you are carrying a lot of weight. Main complaint is the markers don’t say the distance to the next location because they are marked by time. Everyone is at a different pace so the time markers don’t really help people gauge how much progress they have made and how much they have left.

Whichever direction you decide to drive from the road and views are breathtaking. An old school drivers road.

One of the most breathtaking places to visit. Too bad we didn't spend much time there because we were on the Glacier Express (St. Moritz to Brig).
