Mechelen is often considered as the capital for Carillon, and St Rumbold's cathedral has two of them. Very beautiful cathedral and the skywalk at the top gives great view. As resident of Mechelen, you can get discount.

A wonderful and inspiring cathedral in a lovely city, not far from Antwerp. There is parking underneath and tge train station is a walkable distance. The acoustic is great, try to visit for a service or concert. There is a tower to climb too with breathtaking views of the city.

An impressive cathedral with a bell tower you can go up -do get tickets in advance as it’s a time allocation only. Wonderful stained glass windows lining the cathedral walls. The bells in the tower are impressive and huge it’s good to go up on the hour to hear them chime.

Wow, the view from the top is breathtaking! But the exhibitions on the way up and down are also excellent. Well worth the time and small cost to experience!

Beautiful and well maintained Cathedral. Very huge cathedral. To visit the top , you need to purchase a ticket.

What a beautiful cathedral! Loved the baroque arches (similar to many others in other parts of belgium) and the amazing architecture and artistry that is exhibited in the edifice. The grandness and luxury of these cathedrals are totally astonishing. It is free to enter, but 8€ if u wish to climb the tower itself to the lookout. The climb is only available in the afternoons i believe.

Especially beautiful, definitely worth seeing. I will definitely come back and recommend other people to visit. Regarding the price, very reasonably, for people up to 27 years old the price was 3 euros. There is also an underground parking lot nearby, the price is affordable.

This building is certainly one that has impressed me the most while visiting Leuven. It is centre of Leuven. Leuven's Town Hall is the historic city's pièce de résistance. Moreover, it's one of the best-known Gothic town halls worldwide. It took three architects and thirty years to build it. Leuven's 'Hall of Fame' features 235 statues, which were only added to the facade after 1850.

A beautiful building in the center of Leuven with 235 statues to admire. It’s a must see if you are visiting Leuven. There are daily one hour tours in Dutch and English and on the weekend in French. In these tours you visit the interior of the building while learning about the history. The cost is 4 euros and you can buy tickets in the tourist office around the corner. Starting in September 2024, this building will be closed for renovation until 2029. So if you want to take a tour, I would recommend doing it now!

Magnificent and Magical - this is the most iconic spots in Leuven. Don’t forget to book a guided tour if you want to visit the interiors. The inside of the town hall is well preserved with wooden ceilings and chandeliers transporting us to that era. Very beautiful!!!

Such a beautiful city hall, happening square. Especially great in winter with Christmas lights. Preferable to go at-least once and to keep in your bucket list.

This city town hall is one of most beautiful hall, it's just stunning with the little detail of arts. Especially, with the sunset light reflex toward the Hall, just gorgeous.

This is the best-known Gothic town hall. Leuven's 'Hall of Fame' features 235 statues Which took three architects and thirty years to build it.

Spectacular building with a Flemish Gothic façade, although the remains of Leuven's first town hall, built in 1439 and located on the main square, are no longer preserved. It has been destroyed and rebuilt three times in the last hundred years, the last time after the Second World War. On the outside we can see 236 statues, all of them of important figures in the history of the city, arranged by floors: on the ground floor we find academics and artists, on the ground floor religious figures, on the first floor members of the nobility and finally, at the top of the towers, scenes from the Bible are represented.

Beautiful place, especially during springtime. The nature is stunning and the atmosphere is very peaceful. Everything is well designed, clean, and professionally maintained. You can really feel the spirit of Japan throughout the garden, making the experience even more special. Within the complex, there is also a traditional Japanese house, which is very interesting to visit. There is plenty of space to walk around, relax on benches, and enjoy the sun. All in all, I highly recommend this place to everyone.

Such a beautiful and peaceful place. Perfect to escape from the busy daily life. The garden is well-kept, with gorgeous trees, little bridges, koi fish, and a charming tea house. Walking around feels so calming, like you've stepped into another world. Perfect for a quiet stroll, taking pictures, a family picnic, or just sitting by the water and relaxing. I could stay here for hours and I'm planning to visit it again soon.

Beautiful japanese garden, largest in Europe! Suitable for families with strollers. There are some pop-up food trucks with japanese food inside the gardens and some japanese vending machines too. It appears you get free entrance if dressed in a kimono or if you wish to take wedding pictures in the garden. But prices are already reasonable (7 eur). Parking is ample and free

We visited the Japanese Garden in Hasselt right at the peak of the blossom season, and it was absolutely breathtaking! 🌸✨ The stunning pink and white cherry blossoms created a magical, serene atmosphere, perfect for a peaceful stroll and unforgettable photos. 📸 The garden is beautifully designed, with charming bridges, tranquil ponds filled with koi fish, and picturesque pathways that make you feel like you've stepped into Japan itself. 🌿🐟

A Japanese themed garden in Hasselt. There is an entrance fee of 7 euro. Inside are Japanese style houses, stream with koi fishes and cherry trees. Its quite beautiful when the cherry trees are blossoming. They sell Japanese food inside but a bit overpriced. It takes just an hour to tour the place. Might not be worth it if there are no cherry blossoms.

Went on 1rst of May. A little bit crowded near the waterfalls however the picknickzone is perfect to enjoy and relax. Nice place to visit. Parking too small, I went to the Park H, max 10 minutes by foot from the japanese gardens.

Pros: The staff was nice! Cons: It was way too crowded to actually enjoy the peace of a Japanese garden. Couldn't find a quiet spot to just relax and take it all in. Honestly, it wasn't worth the trip or the money. Such a shame.

We’ve been living in this residence for a few years now. I must say, if you’re visiting Leuven, you absolutely shouldn’t miss Groot Begijnhof. Its historical architecture is truly mesmerizing. Every street reveals different houses and glimpses of past lives. Recently, some infrastructure work has been taking place in part of the area, so if you’re planning to visit during the summer of 2025, be aware that some entrances are closed and walking around the church might be a bit difficult.

Incredible walking experience there. There was some renovation done in some part of area but in general it’s a very enjoyable experience with exploring the small aisle and looking at the old buildings. I was there during weekday so it was pretty quiet.

Beautiful and peaceful place in the heart of Leuven. The Groot Begijnhof feels like stepping back in time with its quiet cobblestone streets, historic houses, and calm atmosphere. Perfect for a walk, some photos, or just to disconnect from the city noise. A must-see in Leuven.

I strolled through the Groot Begijnhof in Leuven and instantly felt its centuries-old charm. As I entered through the main gate, those traditional sandstone buildings and winding cobblestone lanes made me feel like I had stepped back in time. Each house, some with striking crow-stepped gables and tiny old windows, reveals layers of history and story. The peaceful courtyards and scenic river views added to the atmosphere. This restored “town-within-a-town” is a unique place and quiet yet full of character, offering an authentic glimpse into Leuven’s past and the life once led by its beguines.

The Groot Begijnhof in Leuven is a beautifully preserved 13th-century beguinage and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once home to religious women called beguines, it features cobbled streets, red-brick houses, gardens, and stone bridges over the River Dijle. Restored in the 1960s, it now belongs to KU Leuven and serves as housing for students and professors. It’s a peaceful quarter perfect for a quiet walk through history.

It’s a breathtaking testament to history and architectural grandeur, buildings of Gothic and Renaissance styles. It can be called as the hidden place of Leuven. Not much crowded place. Good place to have some memories.

Pretty place, worth visiting. Well preserved and rehabilitated buildings.

I didn’t even know Belgian independence was a thing until I wandered into Jubelpark. So, congrats Belgium, I guess! I’m not the biggest fan of Brussels, but its parks really carry the city. Jubelpark’s great for jogging, walking, or pretending you’re having a classy European moment while eating a sandwich on a bench. The architecture? Majestic. The atmosphere? Peaceful. The maintenance? Let’s just say… in progress. The park’s got these mysterious Brussels Dirt Mounds™, part of an ongoing installation called “Maintenance Coming Soon.” For the seat of the EU, you’d expect pristine lawns, but here even the dirt feels historic. Still, despite the grime and bureaucracy, it’s hard not to enjoy the place. Find a clean bench, breathe in that “grand but slightly unkept” charm, and you’ll see why people keep coming back.

Huge beautiful park in Brussels built to celebrate Belgium's independence. Every year fireworks happen here on Belgium independence day. The park has a huge arch, giant fountain and huge open space. The benches in park need to be replaced as they are very old. There are many museums surrounding the park most popular being the Autocar museum. A very nice place to walk around, explore and take some cool pics.

Parc du Cinquantenaire is one of Brussels’ most beautiful and expansive green spaces, offering a perfect balance of history, relaxation, and scenic charm. The moment you enter, the park’s vastness becomes immediately apparent. Wide lawns stretch out in every direction, framed by elegant pathways and impressive architecture. The iconic triumphal arch at the center adds a majestic backdrop to nearly every view, making even a casual stroll feel special. This park is particularly enchanting at sunset. As the sun dips behind the monument, the sky fills with warm colors that reflect across the open lawns, creating a tranquil and almost cinematic atmosphere. Whether you’re seated on a bench or wandering along the tree-lined paths, it’s an experience that feels both peaceful and inspiring. Parc du Cinquantenaire is also ideal for walks, whether you prefer a slow-paced meander or a more energetic route. There’s plenty of space to explore, making it easy to find your own quiet corner even on busy days. Families, joggers, picnickers, and travelers all blend into the relaxed rhythm of the park. Overall, it’s a must-visit destination in Brussels—beautiful, vast, and perfect for anyone looking to unwind or enjoy a stunning sunset.

Marvelous park, the gate is very similar to the Brandenburg gate in Berlin, and the buildings are beautiful. The park is very cozy and can be used as a place for gatherings and picnics. There's also a museum in the premises which at the time had few visitors, but was full of interesting art and artifacts

This vast complex featuring magnificent architecture, a charming garden and lush green trees create an atmosphere that is both peaceful and majestic. Built to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Belgium’s independence, the park includes several highlights: the Triumphal Arch, a variety of museums (the Army Museum, the Art & History Museum, and Autoworld car museum), the Great Mosque of Brussels, numerous statues and historic monuments. It's s one of the city’s most popular spots for strolling, picnicking, exercising, and enjoying urban leisure activities. Visiting this beautiful park is highly recommended.

It was a 30 minute walk from Hotel Le Louise Maison. I can honestly say it was worth every step.. The beauty of the park and the monuments situated throughout the gardens are a inspiration to our predecessors

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Majestic and Full of Life Parc du Cinquantenaire is one of the most beautiful and versatile parks I’ve ever visited. Whether you’re strolling through its tree-lined paths, admiring the stunning architecture and art, jogging, or using the outdoor exercise machines, there’s something for everyone. It’s perfect for walking your pets or letting kids run around and burn off energy. The atmosphere is peaceful, the nature is gorgeous, and the entire space feels welcoming and well-maintained. A truly amazing experience—highly recommended!

The museum is very well organized and gives you the big picture about the European Union. The political aspects are well presented, I just miss a bit more about the members states economy and culture to know them a bit more and understand the symbiosis , points of view for better common understing.

If you would like to learn how the EU parliament works then this will be the place to visit. Lots of interactive and informative installations. If you want to visit the hemicycle, where the actual things happen then make sure you bring an ID as it it's required before entry, also, need to book as well. There are group tours but if you'd like to explore on your own, then there's an audio guide that they provide, all free.

I think a reservation is usually required to visit, but since we came as only two people and the Parlamentarium was relatively uncrowded, the staff kindly let us in. The visit is completely free for public, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. I learned so much about the European Parliament and its role. The exhibition was presented in an excellent way. They also provide an audio guide in many different languages. Everything was modern, well organized, and highly interactive.

Amazing experience. I advise to take the longest tour. It’s worth a time (90 min). The exhibition is super engaging. There are seats in some parts that allow to rest for a while.

We visited the Parlamentarium on a Saturday morning, and I’m so glad we planned ahead. Booking the tour in advance was quick, completely free, and absolutely worth it. The exhibition does a great job of presenting the rich and sometimes complicated history of European countries and the creation of the EU. You’re provided with an audio guide (headset) in the language of your choice, which makes the visit easy to follow and surprisingly enjoyable - no rushing, no strict structure. You simply move at your own pace, stop where something interests you, and keep going when you’re ready. Our visit took about 60–90 minutes, but you could stay longer if you’d like — there are plenty of benches where you can sit, pause, and take everything in. The practical side is also well thought out: free restrooms and lockers are available, especially handy if you’re carrying backpacks or small luggage while exploring Brussels. And yes, like every good museum experience, there’s a gift shop waiting for you at the end. 😊 Overall, this was a very interesting and well-designed introduction to how the European Parliament works and how Europe became what it is today. If you’re curious about history, politics, or simply want a meaningful activity while in Brussels, the Parlamentarium is a must-visit!

A must visit place in Brussels to understand the structure of European Union (EU) and how this common body makes rules and policies for all its member countries of Europe. The audioguide is very helpful to understand the structure and functioning of European Parliament. Nice photostop opportunities and free entry with locker rooms available for free luggage storage. Friendly and helpful staff too. This place is the reason why Brussels is called capital of Europe.

It is a free and nice experience for visitors, it is self paced audio guided tour.

Quick Takeaways 🏛️ Impressive, monumental building — but showing signs of disrepair and graffiti 🏅 Wide range of exhibits, from medals to tanks 👕 Strong focus on Belgium’s pre–WWI history and empire ✈️ Large aircraft collection — dusty, underfunded, but still impressive 🚛 Good military vehicle display, though many outdoors are weather-worn 🚧 Some sections closed off, which was disappointing ⏱️ Allow at least 2+ hours to explore fully Full Review The building itself is immense and powerful, set in an impressive landscape. Sadly, it’s slipping into disrepair, with damaged features and graffiti marking what was once a gleaming beacon of Brussels. Inside, the museum is packed with exhibits ranging from the smallest of medals to the largest of tanks. The heyday of the Belgian empire is strongly reflected in the vast collection of pre–First World War uniforms, equipment, and monuments celebrating the victories of the nation. The museum’s different sections are spread across large halls. The aircraft collection, though very dusty and clearly showing signs of age and underinvestment, is still striking in its scale. Similarly, the military vehicles are impressive, though those left outdoors are clearly suffering from exposure to the elements. Some areas of the museum were closed off, which was a little disappointing, but overall the visit left a very positive impression. It’s definitely worth going—just make sure to allow at least a couple of hours to explore everything properly.

It is highly recommended, even for those who may not be particularly knowledgeable about weaponry. I found myself thoroughly engaged for two and a half hours. While admission was once free many years ago, I still enjoyed the experience just as much as the last time I visited. It is only a slight disappointment that the rooftop's 360-degree view, which was previously superior, has been somewhat diminished due to the closure of a portion of the platform. The new exhibits detailing the histories and documents of World War I and World War II were exceptionally well-presented. It is certainly worth a visit!

Loads and loads of swords, armour, guns, uniforms, planes etc to be seen…it’s amazing. The garage of planes is big and impressive. Lots of interesting exhibits on Belgium’s history and the world wars too. Definitely worth a visit!

I think this museum is good even for those who don’t think they will like to see a military museum. For one the roof is now reopened and the views from the top are vast. The museum itself is huge large hangers with glass roofs housing everything from Tanks to airplanes. A very well documented history of machinery used in conflict

A "must visit" place when visiting Brussel. The museum displays so many war objects from World War I , World War II and before. Visiting the museum and study carefully help us understand more about war history of Euro and The World, we also learn and understand about technology, war vehicles through war objects. If have another chance, I will visit this again.

The museum is quite big and full of historical pieces, definitely worth the visit. It's a bit of a labirinth to find all the areas but is also possible to get on top of the arch. Very nice view.

Very well worth visiting. So many exhibits and things to see and learn about. I lucked out and happened to visit on the one free day of the month, but I would be happy to pay for this museum. I was very satisfied with my visit.

The museum was great as expected but what actually suprised me was the quality of food in the bistro. I expected it to be just a regular bistro not very good food and really expensive, the expensive part was true but I was really suprised that the food was actually good i reccomend almost everything on the menu exept for the sandwitches whitch are as expected bland but other than that its really tasty. If you are hungry after going through the museum dont waste your time trying to find a restaurant just eat there trust me you wont regret it.

Great museum. Bring a sandwich and water because if you are interested in this topic, you will stay for over 3 hours. Excellent exhibition of vehicles, weapons and equipment, as well as other legacies. If you don't bring food, there are restaurants as well as a ww2 themed restaurant. The exhibition also includes films from the war period. A very comprehensive museum, it will not leave fans indifferent. It is not bad to buy tickets online, and there is also the possibility of buying tickets for 3 museums, which I recommend. Parking for a vehicle is 5 euros.

Absolutely worth visiting. Wish we had had more time to be able to take in the whole museum. We had limited time as this was an impromptu stop. Make sure you have several hours to be able to spend here.

Its good, some nice theatre settings. I was expecting more Bastogne/Foye specific, the details and notty gritty. It covers the whole war from 38-45 which is good if you don't know, then a secrion in the middle for the bulge.

A Must-Visit: The Emotional Powerhouse of the Bastogne War Museum Visiting the Bastogne War Museum was an unforgettable highlight of my trip, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. This museum, dedicated to the Battle of the Bulge, delivers a deeply moving experience that blends history, emotion, and education in a way that resonates long after you leave. From the moment you step in, the immersive exhibits pull you into the harsh realities of World War II. The museum’s use of personal stories, interactive displays, and authentic artifacts—like the chillingly preserved tanks outside—brings the Battle of Bastogne to life. What struck me most was the audio-guided tour, where you follow the perspectives of four characters: a soldier, a civilian, a nurse, and a resistance fighter. Their stories made the history feel raw and human, stirring emotions I didn’t expect. The museum doesn’t shy away from the war’s brutality but balances it with tales of courage and resilience, honoring the sacrifices made in and around Bastogne. The layout is intuitive, and the attention to detail is remarkable, making it accessible for history buffs and casual visitors alike. For anyone visiting Belgium, this is more than a museum—it’s an emotional journey into a pivotal moment in history. Plan for a few hours, as you’ll want time to absorb it all. I left with a deeper appreciation for the past and a renewed sense of gratitude. Highly, highly recommended!

Pretty pricy for a family of four, especially since there is very little for kids to do. There is mostly a lot of tales and films, less historical things to actually see and experience. I would have suggested kids under 12 yrs could enter for free. The additional parking fee is just over the top.

One of the best history museums I've ever experienced. Especially rooms with 10-15 minute sessions are amazing and getting better at every step. If you have time do not skip these rooms. With the same ticket you can also enter Bois Jacques, the woods and fox holes where an amazing episode of Band of Brothers covers.

A fitting tribute to all the American troops who gave their lives. The memorial is free entry but the museum that occupies the same site is 22€ per person that added to the 5€ parking charge it does start to become expensive. The memorial and grounds are well worth a visit if you want to pay your respects for free and the first 20 mins parking is free.

Two years ago they were busy with the restoration, and now it's complete (although we couldn't discover where they restored it). Overall it is worth a visit when you are visiting the museum or if you are visiting Bastogne. It is a large monument to commemorate the Second World War.

Images from the Mardasson Memorial. Honoring the memory of American soldiers who were wounded or killed in the Battle of the Bulge. We should never forget.The museum was closed, but this monument brought tears to my sarcastic, cynical eyes. A great way to end our trip.

The Mardasson Memorial in Bastogne is striking, respectful, and deeply thought-provoking, honoring those who fought in the war. Visiting is definitely worthwhile, a powerful and moving experience. The upper deck wasnt open when we were there.

Its sadly closed for renovation but it has to be done so I dont see the reason for all of these 1 star reviews. But other than that its great its really majestic commemorating the sacrifices of thousands of soliders i would reccomend to visit

Impressive monument, but at the time it is closed and cordoned off, the crypt is open thou, sign mentions renovation should have been completed last year and I see reviews here mentions it has been open since

The movies (3) was very good, but they tell the story in a too complicated way. Hard to follow as an adult and the children barely keep up, even though they know history and have seen some of the related films and series.

Excellent castle to visit, very reasonably priced including the cafe. Although there were a reasonable number of visitors following the route around the inside of the castle, the visitor centre (located through the gift shop) was empty. This contains exhibits and a film presentation of the development of the castle over it's life span. The graphics on the film presentation are excellent. If you visit the castle, please don't miss out on the visitor centre.

I visited on Monday in the morning at 1030. Overall, it provided details regarding the history of the castle, but most required you to scan a QR code to read on your phone. An audio guide was available as well for €2 if needed. The castle was well preserved and provided a nice view of Vianden. A student ticket was €7. A visit of 1 hour should be sufficient, maximum 2 hours for a more detailed exploration of the castle and its history.

Loved the visit to the castle! It's been restored from ruins, so some might argue that it's "fake". But I enjoyed the experience nonetheless. There are plenty of rooms and things to see. Also excellent views of the small town of Vianden.

What a beautiful place. This is the heart of Vianden if you are in Luxembourg like in my case, is not far and you can find free public transportation There is a fee to enter the castle, not that expensive. Beautiful town (city) you will feel the German spirit and the mix between the medieval and more. Places to eat and cozy hotels are available everywhere, I love it

Vianden Castle in Luxembourg is one of those places that immediately feels like stepping into a storybook. Perched on a hill overlooking the quaint town of Vianden, the castle is beautifully restored and offers a wonderful mix of medieval atmosphere and panoramic views. Inside, the rooms are thoughtfully curated, giving a clear sense of how the fortress evolved over centuries. It’s large enough to explore for a couple of hours without feeling overwhelming, and the setting—surrounded by forested hills—makes it especially scenic. Whether you’re into history, architecture, or just want a stunning day trip, Vianden Castle is absolutely worth a visit.

€13 for adults or €7 for students. It’s a beautiful redeveloped castle. In my opinion the most picturesque in luxembourg. From the top you can overlook the quaint town and mountainous landscape, even seeing into germany. They also offer audio tours for €2 and there is a cafe where you can get sandwiches and drinks for not too badly priced. The gift shop does your classic souvenirs at about the same price as the other souvenir places. There is also a nice stamp you can use on your postcards. The castle is not too steep of a walk up to either so is accessible for all.

Good place to visit for those who love the history. Well restored castle with some entertainment. They have schedule for traditional dance, sword fighting and something else. Also they had a market with hand made staff right inside of the castle. There are some historical artefacts. Lots of stairs. However there is an elevator in the one of the towers.

Absolutely beautiful! We parked in a structure not too far from here near city center. Look in my reviews for the location. This beautiful display of ancient architecture was very impressive. There is a great place to take a picture in front of the gate towards the main road. We just stood in awe!

It's a strange thing to find such Intact and extensive Roman ruins so far north in Europe! In many ways this building is better preserved than some of the buildings in Rome itself. Very informative interpretation, reasonably priced and presenting good views of the city!

Excellent landmark to visit in the middle of the delightful town of Trier. Museum offers a unique insight into local Roman and political history. Limited public conveniences and places to rest do reduce overall enjoyment, however there's many café options and restaurants nearby.

Amazing site to see - not often you csn see Roman ruins from the 2nd century. Built from huge sandstone blocks, some weighing 6 tons - without modern machinery. The only one of the 4 original gates still standing, it was spared because it was used as a church. Massive structure in the center of town that should inspire awe. A remnant of a different age, when the Roman Empire ruled much of Europe.

I visited on a Tuesday late afternoon at around 1600. It is a very well preserved Roman building, where you could enter and walk up to the third floor of the building for a ticket of €5 (Student ticket). The explanation on the history of this building was very detailed and informative. 1 hour is well sufficient for a detailed visit for this landmark and learning its history. Overall, it is a fantastic experience to learn about the history of this area and I would definitely recommend people to visit.

These were Roman ruins in Germany. The are very well preserved to be 2,000 years old. A very nice little town

Very beautiful and crazy to believe this is one the few structures that remains within Roman time period. Trier was the capital of the Roman empire and you can easily imagine how everything was walking through those arches.

This was my first time visiting the Trier Cathedral (Trier Dom), and I was truly impressed by the grandeur and historical richness of the place. The architecture is breathtaking — a perfect blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles, reflecting over 1,700 years of history. The atmosphere inside is calm and spiritual. The high ceilings, ancient stone walls, and stained glass windows give a powerful sense of timelessness. It’s amazing to think this is the oldest cathedral in Germany, with parts dating back to Roman times. There’s also a lot to explore: the Holy Robe (Heiliger Rock), the crypt, and the quiet courtyards surrounding the complex. Entry is free, and there are brochures in multiple languages available for visitors. I highly recommend taking your time to sit quietly inside and soak in the peaceful environment. Whether you’re religious, interested in history, or just love beautiful architecture, the Trier Dom is a must-visit.

Trier Cathedral, old architecture marvel because it was built in a very old era. Beautiful historical structure with religious importance because of the holy robe. Last time it was displayed in 2012 to the public where large number of visitors came. To visit inside there are certain timings which changes from winter.

Amazing cathedral and architecture, with roots going bsck 1700 years to Roman occupation. Current structure from 13th century and stunning both inside and out. Free to enter, with several options inside to donate towards supporting the building. Hard to imagine how they built it without modern tools. The ceilings are well over 10 stories high, and they elaborate carvings and paintings are simply stunning!

There are many beautiful and breathtaking cathedrals across Germany and Europe but this one stands at the top with the best. While on the outside it may not appear as daunting or heavenly, inside is quite the opposite. What a breathtaking experience. Be sure to go down below to the catacombs and outside to the courtyard. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Trier.

A good must visit place in Trier center. Walkable and cathedral looks magnificent. The entire place around the cathedral gives a glimpse into the old Germany. Also entire place will be tourists who are interested in visiting Trier.

The sculptures are beautifully intricate and the whole building is awe inspiring. Some is a bit creepy, but I guess it’s incentive towards good living.

Beautiful architecture inside and out. It's free to go inside no dogs allowed. Well worth a visit if you are in Trier

It ok, quite expensive for a few casements. Most the views are either obscured or the same as the last casement, you visited. I don’t think it’s worth €10 and adult. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an impressive feat of workmanship but you don’t really need to go inside to see them. Take photos from the top and the battlements on the bridge instead.

I visited Casemates du Bock and honestly, it was an amazing experience! The underground tunnels are full of history and mystery — it feels like stepping back in time. The view from the top is breathtaking, especially overlooking Luxembourg City. The place is well maintained and easy to explore. I’d really recommend visiting in the morning when it’s less crowded. Perfect spot for history lovers and photographers. Truly one of the most unique and memorable places in Luxembourg😍😍😍

Nice caves in the cliffs -There was only 1 person in line when i got here around 5 pm. -You get a map of the cave, but its pretty simple, you walk down looking at the rooms/lookouts, there is a few cannons, a well. -On the way out you cross the gate bridge on the inside level

I went on a Sunday at 1130 with their official guided tour which was hosted in English. The tour also offers other languages but do check and reserve your spot in advance as they do not open tours every hour/every day. The guided tour gave a lot of important information about the history of the Casemates, but also the city and urban planning in general. There were hardly any text printed out for visitors to read if you enter without any audio guide/tour guide. Therefore, remember to collect an pamphlet before entering the site if you want to know more about the history of the site. If you want to have more flexibility in exploring and taking photos at the site, I would suggest to explore on your own pace instead of joining the guided tour.

Going around the Casemates was amazing. Our tour guide was absolutely outstanding. Really do recommend paying the extra €8 and getting a tour because they are full of historic information about the history of the Casemates as well as some of the history about Luxembourg itself had a fantastic time took a roundabout about an hour and 15 minutes but it’s well worth a visit!

We were able to buy tickets when we arrived, which was convenient. Students can get tickets for €8 and I was not asked to show any ID. There is very minimal signage and none of it is in English, but they provide a pamphlet in multiple languages with helpful information. The views of the city are great and you get to see everything from a completely different angle than you would from the street. I am directionally challenged and got turned around a couple of times, but it was still easy to find the way out. I am 160 cm and did not feel like the space was small, but my friend who is 170 cm had to watch her head in a few spots. If you are taller than 180 cm, some areas may feel low and not very comfortable to move through. Overall, it was worth the visit.

A Weekend Well Spent in Luxembourg! Classmates Luxembourg was an absolute delight! We were lucky with the weather, which made our visit even better. We spent hours walking around, exploring the stunning views from various angles, and truly soaking in the beauty of the surroundings. We drove there by car and had no trouble finding parking—plenty of space, no waiting, and reasonably priced. The area is well-equipped with restaurants and food stalls, perfect for grabbing a quick bite on the go. Overall, it was a wonderful weekend escape. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy some breathtaking scenery!

Heavenly! The stained glass was gorgeous! The morning sunlight filled the church with jeweled toned colors! The organ music was richer than any I had ever heard! I don't know if it was the organ or the organist or the acoustics or all three together, but the sound was divine! The priest was dressed in exquisite vestments and sang like it was a concert performance! If Jesus would have returned at the end of the service, I would not have been surprised!

I visited Notre-Dame after it was suggested by TripAdvisor, and I’m so glad I followed that tip — it truly felt like one of the highlights of my time in Luxembourg. Tucked into the city in a way that still feels central, the church manages to be both grand and incredibly intimate. From the moment I stepped inside, the atmosphere encouraged slow breathing and quiet observation. The soft light moving across the stonework and through the stained glass made everything feel gentle and peaceful, like time had softened its edges for a little while. The volunteers and staff were warm and welcoming without being intrusive, offering a short, friendly introduction that gave helpful context without rushing the experience. There are lovely little corners perfect for sitting and collecting your thoughts, and I found myself lingering longer than planned simply because it felt so restorative. The combination of soothing architecture and a calm, respectful hum of low conversation made it an ideal place to recharge between more bustling sightseeing stops. I particularly enjoyed watching how the light changed as the afternoon moved on — it gave the interior a new mood every few minutes, and made my short visit feel quietly cinematic. Afterward I wandered to a nearby café and carried that sense of calm with me for the rest of the day. If you’re looking for a relaxing cultural break, whether you’re into architecture, reflective moments, or gentle music (they sometimes have short recitals that add a beautiful soundtrack to the space), Notre-Dame is a wonderful pick. Tip: go earlier in the day for the best light and a quieter vibe. Overall, this was a serene and friendly experience — the kind of place that makes you pause, breathe, and appreciate the slower moments of travel. Highly recommended.

I visited Notre-Dame Cathedral in Luxembourg on Christmas Eve, and the atmosphere was truly unforgettable. The entire cathedral was glowing with warm candlelight and soft golden tones, filled with the sound of carols and quiet prayer. There was a sense of peace and reverence that made the evening feel sacred, even for someone just passing through. The soaring ceilings, intricate stained glass, and the gentle murmur of people gathering in silence made it one of the most emotional travel moments I’ve ever experienced. It wasn’t just beautiful — it felt meaningful. A place where stillness meets spirit.

I visited the Cathédrale Notre-Dame in Luxembourg, and it was such a peaceful and beautiful place. The architecture is truly stunning — every corner has amazing details. Inside, the atmosphere feels calm and spiritual, even if you’re not religious. I loved the stained-glass windows; they look magical when sunlight shines through. It’s also very clean and well maintained. A must-visit place if you’re in Luxembourg City — full of history, art, and quiet charm

A really beautiful cathedral in the centre of Luxembourg City. The architecture is impressive from the outside with its tall towers and detailed design, and inside it feels very peaceful and spiritual. The stained glass windows are amazing, especially when the sunlight comes through them. There are also nice statues and decorations everywhere. You can feel the history of the place while walking around. It’s not very big compared to some other European cathedrals but it’s still very special and definitely worth a visit if you are in Luxembourg. The area around it is also very nice to walk and explore.

The only cathedral in Luxembourg. Built in the Gothic style, but with many Renaissance elements. It has an interesting interior, and since I'm not a fan of lavish golden walls and decorations in such buildings, you won't see much of it here either

Beautiful church and definitely worth checking out. The crypt was unfortunately closed during my visit and I am not sure what the hours are for that area, but the main part of the church is still very impressive.

Very busy but also the best spot to take your family and friends to see the ‘Saarschleife’. It’s a fun walk with some puzzles and riddles along the way for kids. The top can be crowded depending on the weather and time of day. Can take a fair bit until it’s your turn to take the perfect photo ;) You can also buy a season pass which will give you unlimited access for a whole year.

Lovely place with astonishing view, is very nice to see places in Germany countryside with infrastructure to receive tourist. The view is amazing and they even have an elevated walkway in the middle of the trees. Very easy to access by train and bus. Only issue was the price (12,5€), for a student it was so expensive and the student price was not appealing at all (11,5€), only 1€ discount.

Incredible experience for families accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. Interes hike with activities for children and educational facts. View on top from the tower is breathtaking. Totally worth its price. We paid 27 euros for a family ticket of two kids and two adults.

Cool place with interesting information. With kids makes a lot of sense to go because of the nature explanation. Without you can think about just going to the little free lookout below. View is nearly as good.

It's beautiful place, good for kids and families, good forsome kind of activity😍 like walk and otherthings, so so nice place especially the Saar Loop wow so beautiful 😍.

Very nice viewpoint to see the saar and Saarschleife You can walk up and then also under towards the saar river Banches are above with view points You can also spot squirrels on the way! Accessible for everyone even wheelchair and strollers! A must when visiting Saarland!

For the price, this is an excellent attraction, as you can spend many hours walking around. The main attraction for us was definitely the tree top walk and the viewing platform. The walk across the boardwalk has several interactive points for children, although I didn't see any information written in English. It isn't too strenuous, and inclines are suitable if you have a pushchair or a mobility walker so everyone can enjoy this experience. As the name suggests, you're walking at tree top heights, therefore thise who have issues with height don't look down. What i would say is, if you're ok with looking straight across at a view (opposed to down), definitely do this, as the views are to behold. On a clear day, you can see for miles, over the woodlands and river Sarr. I would also encourage everyone to slowly walk the boardwalk before the viewing platform, as there are many birds flying around and with many bird feeding stations on the route you are sure to see some beautiful little birds. The 2 we saw a lot of were the Nuthatch & Crested Tit. If you want to spend the day, suggest taking a picnic.

Very interesting site with an English speaking guide telling us detailed things about the place, its history, and even provided a demo of a mortar launcher used then (without the mortar obviously). The place is well preserved and has good exhibits. It involves quite some walking (the whole tour took at least 2.5hours plus waiting time) and a short train ride. It is also pretty cold (12 degrees Celsius) under ground so make sure to wear something warm. Overall, it was an enjoyable and good learning experience for our family. The only remark I had was the tour is supposed to start at 14.15 (regardless which language) and we were requested to arrive at 14hrs. The French speaking tour started 10min later than 14.15 but the English one only started after 14.30 and the German one even later. It would've been better if various timing is communicated for each language's group so that visitors don't have to queue and wait for over half an hour.

Our tour of Ouvrage Hackenberg was the outstanding highlight of a recent three day visit to the Champagne Region. If you have the ability reach this remote location it’s definitely a “must see”. The capacity of the English language tour is limited so it’s advisable to book in advance. It’s also advisable to wear warm clothing. Our informative and entertaining English volunteer guide has a thorough knowledge of the facility and its history. Paul did an excellent job guiding us around the extensive labyrinth of tunnels that included a one kilometre ride on an original electric train to an outlying gun position. It’s a great credit to this team of volunteers that they are able to maintain this facility and keep so much of the original equipment in working condition.

Very interesting place to visit, it's entertaining all around the year. You need to take some warm clothes, even in summer. You can learn about history of Europe in 20th century, and see one of the most advanced engineering project in Europe. You need about three hours to enjoy this tour guided by the nice guy. Note: 6/5

What a great find - so fascinating and our guide, Paul, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Do check times for the tours in your language - recommend this highly for any history enthusiasts.

Fantastic visit. Excellent guide and well worth the trip down through beautiful France.

Well this is certainly a tourist attraction with a difference. 'Attraction' may not be the correct word to use, but it is certainly a location that should be visited, if only to help some of those misguided individuals on our planet that seem to feel that war is the best way to accomplish their depraved goals. Taking the tour, and with a little imagination, you will get to understand some of horrors of what life was like for those who have experience war first hand, and get to see some of the remarkable infrastructure that was put in place underground, not just in this fortress, but also in many others in this part of France. The visit is fully guided and is progressive along an underground facility. It takes upwards of three hours, so be prepared for that. It is however, a truly must-see experience.

Very interesting historical tour. We bought tickets at site, and we went with the single english tour. But if you with the fremch tour book in advance.

Must visit area if you're ever in Verdun. Douaumont is a well maintained fort knowing it's history. The route through the fort is confusing and the directions don't really help you. It causes you to get lost in the vast catacombs and slippery walkways. Try to follow the signs and you'll be alright but you will miss a lot of information.

Amazing tour. Well worth the 5 Euros. To get an audio guide it takes about an hour to go through. Has a lot of detail and very interesting stories. There are some blocked off sections of course but you can explore down pretty deep into it

Great experience by walking around the bunkers of the war time. Took around 30 minutes visiting the bunkers. The guided audio handset was useful. You can spend for time around the fort as well.

This fort, built in the 1890s, was the largest of a system of forts that were to protect Verdun against a German invasion. But it was poorly manned and taken by a small number of German troops without a fight in 1916. It became very useful to the Germans as a headquarters, supply center and a shelter just behind their front line. This loss may have cost France over 100,000 troops. In the next few years, France lost thousands of troops trying to recapture the fort. There are trenches all around and in the area of this fort. They are over grown but are easy to see and follow. It is hard to believe that 300,000 troops were lost during the battle of Verdun. There is plenty of parking and the entrance fee is very modest.

An excellent place to visit, the staff were very helpful and the audio guide explained the and significance of the fort, as well as detailing what it was like in the fort during combat. Well worth a visit

I climbed over the hills. I climbed into the fort. The entrance is by the South side, which was pounded by the French in their wrath. If you can climb over the fortress, and walk to the other side, you can see the way the Germans came in Feb 1916. This place is living history. Never forget what happened here. Important...bring a coat!

Great audioguided tour inside the fortress to help and understand the living conditions in here. Amazing and mind blowing landscape surrounding and on top of the fortress.

Very nice zoo. A lot of different cats species, which i love. There are two shows, birds of prey and sea lions. Both are good, especially the birds of prey. Free parking is nice. The toilets could be better.

Super place, if weather is ok, and you have children - this is kind of place which you can spent whole day and it will not be enough! I was thinking what are the tickets for 2 days and yearly access to zoo?! And being there for 5h we saw 50% of all attractions prepared for visitors. Bad for Animals but perfect for visitors is that places for animals are not enormous- so you are able to see cats, wolfs, birds and any kind of animals. It’s a balance between safe place and attractions for visitors. HIGLY RECOMMENDED

We had a great experience visiting Zoo Amnéville! There are so many animals to see — lions, tigers, polar bears, rhinos, hippos, and many more. It was amazing to watch them all from such a close distance. This was the first time I’ve seen a lion so close, and it was truly an exciting experience for all of us. We really enjoyed our visit and appreciated how well the animals are cared for. It’s a wonderful place for families and animal lovers — highly recommended!

Amazing zoo, beautiful animals and very touchy. I was hugging a goat at one point lol. I would also touch more animals if I wasn't that scared lmao. 8/10 (wish it was less expensive, for two adults and one child we payed 100 euro, but if they need money to keep the animals healthy then I don't really mind)

The zoo was a delightful experience, offering a diverse array of animals, and our visit lasted approximately five hours. Regrettably, we were unable to observe some of the animals, as they were taking shelter. The animals appeared quite relaxed, possibly due to the warm weather. We were fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the red panda. The Jurassic section proved to be particularly enjoyable for the children. While I cannot comment on the quality of the park's food, as we did not purchase any based on recommendations from friends and other reviews, it is worth noting that some areas of the park could be cleaner, and the presence of standing water in certain locations resulted in an unpleasant odor. Nevertheless, it is certainly a worthwhile destination if you happen to be in the vicinity.

I have an annual pass and it has been such fun to visit the zoo at different times of the year! It’s very kids friendly . Great place to take kids out, short walk or a full-day out. My baby likes observing all the animals. We watched polar bear Henk and Akoia fighting, a vulture trying to open our bag during his performance , kids feeding giraffes leaves, gorillas climbing up the to get bananas, penguins chasing a butterfly… many cherished moments. The staffs are always friendly. Hope there would be more different animations. Will renew the pass definitely.

Great park, a lot of animals. Make sure to take foods with you (especially if you have allergies) because food places closes at 14h. After that only icecream available. It’s better to start as early as possible, as we arrived at 12h at it was just enough time to see everything (we were 4 adults, so we were walking pretty fast everywhere). Animals look pretty looked after, in between areas there are enough benches, rubbish bins, toilets. Would come back again in future.

Take a jacket. It's very cold in the tunnels. A sobering experience of WW1 sitting on an electric vehicle for 4, for 35 mins with 3D goggles. I had difficulty with my goggles but otherwise this and the musemm over the road made for a great insight of history. Audio was in English French German.

This is an augmented reality experience. You will be on a small cart with AR glasses and follow french soldiers through their short stay at the citadel. You get to visit the living quarters, the kitchens, dining room, etc... Very informative! It does get cold, so I could recommend having a small sweater for comfort. Try to buy tickets in advance because it can get full pretty quickly.

I am so sorry to say we had a horrible experience at the Citadel. I’ve done this visit in the past and thoroughly enjoyed it, but the new system with the virtual reality goggles is a mess. The employees struggled to get the system to work and we had to wait over 30 minutes in the cold while they attempted to repair several carts. Once we were finally able to get a cart, we were fitted with our uncomfortable goggles. The sound was horrible, very loud, and my daughters made a loud noise about halfway through and then just stopped working. The idea seems good, but it’s a complete waste. When we spoke to the employee as we were removing our goggles to explain the problems, he suggested we ask for a reimbursement at the front desk. However, the employees at the exit were not helpful, avoided speaking to us and seemed to be tired of hearing all of the complaints. Very frustrating and disappointing for an experience that has such great potential. Don’t waste your money!

It was a nice 3D experience, very creative use of the galleries in the citadel. A little bit of a disappointment that the citadel itself on top was closed because of renovations.

Mini train tour through the old tunnels whilst a 3D audio visual of the soldiers life within the WW1 fortress plays out from the headset.

You are greeted with a fantastic entrance, statues and a very clean entrance building, inside you are going to emerse yourself back into WW1, seated on an autonomous vehicle with a hologram headset on. You will be guided through the tunnels while enjoying the history the city of verdun hold during WW1

The first thing that impresses you about The Citadel is the size of it. Approaching the visitor entrance on foot allows you to see the walls close up and the construction of these was a colossal undertaking. During the 1914-1918 World War, Verdun (The Citadel) became the symbol of France's stand against Germany. During this conflict equal numbers of French and German soldiers died. Verdun remained in French hands despite the battle being one of the longest during WWI. The visitor experience of The Citadel is from the perspective of three soldiers arriving at The Citadel and then going back to fight again. After buying your ticket (no concessions) for €15 you walk into The Citadel and open a large door to a dark world. Lighting guides you forward to a station where you are given a disposable hair cover and step into a small buggy where you are then equipped with rudimentary VR headsets. The Citadel is like a cave and the ambient temperature is cold so make sure you bring something warm to wear. From this point your exploration of the tunnels in The Citadel is in the guided buggy with audio in your own language and film overlaid (using the VR headset) on the illuminated walls of The Citadel. Sound and film recreate the experience of the soldiers and illustrate what life underground must have been like. The billets, bakery and medical services feature in their experience. The commentary explains details of the importance of the site to France and the recognition and respect paid by the allies at that time. This guided experience takes around 30 minutes and you arrive at another 'station' where you leave the darkness and proceed on foot exploring the mess hall and other tunnels before stepping back out into the sunlit walkway past a restored section or the exterior wall. After a few interactive displays you find yourself at the end of the tour in the gift shop. The Citadel is without question impressive and the human endeavour that has led to its construction cannot be underestimated. To have been here during WWI would have been a respite from the horrors of battle or a life underground supporting others. Whilst the guided tour was interesting and brought the experience of a few here to life, it would have been good to physically walk around more of the tunnels and seen more of the remaining artifacts in place. Overall an interesting place to visit. An experience rather than a museum, probably best as a starting point before visiting other historical sites in the area. Use of technology could be improved as this type of application develops quickly and the AR seems dated. We visited late afternoon (about 16.00) and there were very few people around - just two of us in our buggy (max 5). Check opening times and be aware that coach trips come here so it will get busy on occasions.

One of the most amazing cathedrals in France! When you stand in front of Metz Cathedral, you feel small and full of wonder. The golden stone shines in the sun, and the tall towers seem to touch the sky. Inside, the light is mystical. The stained-glass windows are not only from the Middle Ages but also modern, even by Chagall. They make the walls look alive with colors. It has the highest nave in France (41 meters), higher than Notre-Dame in Paris. It is called the “Lantern of God” because of more than 6,000 m² of stained glass.People say that at sunset, the golden stone creates an atmosphere that feels almost supernatural. This place is not just history. It is an experience. If you visit Metz, you cannot miss it.

Walking into Metz Cathedral - if you’re not exactly used to walking into thousand year old cathedrals - will leave you speechless, overwhelmed, and possibly teary eyed. It’s an astonishing edifice and on a sunny day the interior dances and glimmers with light and colour from the 1000s of panes of glass. You also have to appreciate and respect that this building is in active and daily use, so please - please - remain silent as you slowly wander the perimeter to marvel at the wonder of just how this building came to be, and the architectural miracle it is.

We visited the Metz Cathedral with a specific goal — to see the stained glass windows created by Marc Chagall, since Chagall was our compatriot, also from Belarus. The cathedral itself is magnificent, and the stained glass windows are absolutely mesmerizing. The light filtering through the colorful glass creates a magical effect — the patterns and colors evoke feelings that are simply beyond words. We couldn’t imagine anything that could make the experience even better, but while we were there, an organ concert began, and it turned the visit into something truly unforgettable. The combination of the music, the stained glass, and the atmosphere was enchanting. Since it all happened during the Christmas markets and holiday season, it became one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring experiences we’ve ever had.

Incredible cathedral in size, artistry, detail, and use of colors! Huge volume of space under immensely high ceilings and arches! Photos and video really don't do it justice.. The audio echoes and booms here. The richness of the murals, paintings, stained glass, and sculptures are mind-blowing! Definitely a must-see! No entrance fee, though parking is not free and space is limited. Public restrooms are across the street and are free, though not very clean; while there are urinals, there are no toilets, just holes in the ground.

It is very beautiful from the outside, but much more beautiful inside! This is one of the tallest, most beautiful and majestic cathedrals I have ever seen. If not the most! Its stained glass windows are simply incomparable. In such a place you feel some elusive magic, especially with the sounds of the organ.

Top 5 of stained glasses I've ever seen in 26 countries (I am french btw). Breathtaking, original with multiple styles, you definitely have to visit this cathedral in France if you love stained glasses!

The Metz Cathedral is absolutely stunning. Its Gothic architecture and level of detail make it one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Europe. Inside, the enormous stained-glass windows — some of the largest in the world — create a magical atmosphere with the natural light. Walking through feels like a journey through history, with glasswork ranging from the 13th century to modern pieces by artists like Marc Chagall. The exterior is just as impressive, with intricate sculptures and an imposing presence right in the heart of the city. Take your time to explore every detail, and if possible, join a guided tour to fully appreciate its history and symbolism. Definitely a must-see when visiting Metz.

Located in the centre of Nancy next to Place Stanislas, the Pépinière park is a wonderful green place for families and couples. It has a rose garden, a mini zoo where peacocks freely wander around, a great playground, sports field, merry-go-round and children's rides. It also has a small cafe and ice cream stand. There are many floral displays, also wooden architecture exhibitions and beautiful paths with ancient and exotic trees for a stroll. Magnificent and calming place.!

A tranquil haven in Nancy, ideal for leisurely walks and unwinding. Captured serene moments, like an elderly couple peacefully seated on a bench, without intruding.

A good place to relax. Extensive trails on 21 acres. There are several gardens including a rose garden. Several rides for children and a band shell for entertainment. Snacks are available at several stands.

Huge park and great ambiance. Situated just beside city centre and good for sports, gatherings etc. We have been to this park few times during our visit to Nancy and enjoyed a lot

I don't think I've seen such a beautiful park during my stay in France. It's clean and well-maintained. It's also possible to have a drink or eat in the park. I recommend it !

Oh yes…everyone will find something for himself at this place! Such a lovely park with all needed. The vibe is great. Don’t miss it out, you’ll fall in love 🥰

Nancy is a beautiful French 🇫🇷 town in Lorraine gifted by Luis XV to the Polish King 1704–1709 i 1733–1736, Duke of Lorraine and Bar in the years 1738–1766, where Stanislaw Leszczyński resided to the end of his life.

Really loved it. A mix of French and Polish baroque. The place and the surrounding garden was really friendly. We saw a dancefloor in the middle of the gardens, behind a really nice cafe. All the locals young and old swinging to the music. Magical.

I visited Place Stanislas today and was completely charmed. The golden gates, elegant facades, and lively atmosphere made it feel like walking through a fairytale from the old times. It felt peaceful and inviting I took a break by the Neptune fountain, enjoying the breeze and the sound of water — such a calming moment in the middle of the city. This place isn’t just beautiful; it has soul. I’m truly grateful I got to experience it.

beautiful square with several restaurants & elegant classic coffee shops surrounded with beautiful buildings like opera house and fine art museum and during summertime there’s a tourist train can show you the glamour of the town & all the monuments.

Impressive square with place to eat or drink, I loved the light show at 10 pm apparently it takes place every summer! Very nice

Very beautiful and well preserved plaza. The architecture is stunning and the finishes with gold add a nice touch to the look of the buildings.

This is an extraordinarily magical place at night and a must-see during the day! Baroque styles Gates and decorations on the buildings make this one of my favorite spots in Nancy! Fun fact: this place, the place de la Carrière and the place d'Alliance are part of the World Heritage Site 💯

Absolutely stunning square and a true gem of Nancy. Place Stanislas is beautifully designed, with elegant 18th-century buildings and golden gates that shine in the sunlight. The atmosphere is lively during the day with cafés and people enjoying the space, and at night the light show on the buildings is magical. A perfect place to stroll, relax, or take photos. Definitely a must-see if you’re visiting Nancy

Cool and iconic in Dijon... easy to find. It's nice to find it without Google maps to make it for Cool... just follow the signs on the street floor.

A modern old town, just follow the golden arrows for sightseeing. The shops are neat and orderly. I saw people slipping after the rain because the floor is slippery. It is recommended to wear shoes a good shoes. There is a restaurant that supports Down syndrome. I recommend you try it.

Palm-sized and polished by countless hands, the little owl carved into Notre-Dame’s wall turns a side lane into a ritual. Touch with your left hand and make a wish; the brass pavement plate with the owl logo marks the stop and small arrows carry you along Dijon’s Parcours de la Chouette. This is the route’s namesake and most photographed moment: modest stone, big civic idea. I like how the trail knits small details to major landmarks - marker, brief engagement, onward wayfinding - so one carving speaks to grander sites across the old town.

Super nice tour especially for kids which are keen on discovering the next owl of Dijon on the way. All nice attractions can be seen on this journey.

Great mid evil city with not a lot of tourists. Great wines from around the region, many fine restaurants and a truly great French market place

Loved randomly following footpath markers to discover iconic landmarks in Dijon. You can buy a €4 map from the tourist office and do it in an organized manner or just set yourself a challenge to see how many you can find on your travels.

I like it - brings good luck if you place your right hand on it :) A tip from a local: Once there, make sure to check the rooftop of the building to the right of the owl, you'll find beautiful owl and cat.. keeping an eye on the city ;) (photo below)

The rooms are beautiful. Lots of classic old works, a few modern works, so not very impressive for me. Admission is free, so it's worth seeing the architecture. Beware, there's a trap on the first floor, you'll never get out without asking... we weren't the only ones. Fortunately, the lovely security staff are there to help.

We were greeted by very friendly staff who explained the museum's layout. This museum is large, entry is free, and there are several floors of exhibits to see. The grounds around the museum are picturesque as well. Enjoy!

A free art museum! It was a treat, of course. I'm not an expert, but I think their collection was very good, based mostly on the Duc's collection. Don't miss the Duc and Duchess's tombs! Everything was in french and it wasn't very crowded, even on a Saturday and even with people fleeing from the rain, like we were.

The Best Things in Life Are Free Well, that’s certainly true for the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon. I first discovered it a few years ago while tracking works by Vieira da Silva and Nicolas de Staël—and since then, it has become an almost obligatory stop on the way to or back from the South. Just three hours from Luxembourg, and each visit brings something new. This time, a megalomaniac Chinese painter exhibited right in front of the tombs of the Dukes of Burgundy—a juxtaposition as unexpected as it is striking. And if you’re traveling with children, don’t miss the fantastical animals of Pompon. A place where history, discovery, and wonder are all free of charge.

Incredible museum. Very rich collection and well displayed and organised. Free to hold your bags in lockers and the staff are friendly and professional. Highly recommend visiting here!

The Dijon Museum of Fine Arts is well organised and an example of a must see museum outside of Paris, London, etc. There's everything from beautifully curated medieval art to sculpture to art and photography of the 1900s and 2000s. As a bonus, it's free to enter. Most definitely a not to be missed attraction in Dijon.

Just around the corner from our apartment was the gallery, it was fabulous, great works of art, by all the usual suspects, paintings and sculptures, a good 2 hours will suffice this wonderful painting by Tissot was the icing on the cake

A painfully over-restored castle. The newly restored right tower is not a sight to behold. Inside, however, many interesting details are still visible. Also of interest is the building's vertical open section, which reveals the medieval structure.

I loved this castle! It is well-restored and has an interesting history. It's wild to imagine walking on floor tiles that have been in use for maybe 900 years! There is just enough decor and information to give you a sense of the castle over the centuries... It feels a bit like a treasure hunt, following along with the story of the former inhabitants and the renovation process. Don't miss the lower level with the story of the renovations. The video at the end almost made me cry. Keep an eye on time because they do kick you out for their lunch break! The medieval garden was so well-tended, we loved all the happy herb plants with their corresponding labels. I also loved the colorful tiles in the bathroom. It's amazing how the visitors center was designed so as to be essentially invisible when approaching the castle. We also really enjoyed the saunter through the town to get to the castle. What a charming place! It's a great value for the price of admission... We paid 6 Euros and we were there for almost two hours. Would have stayed longer!

Fantastic castle with great audio visuals in 4 languages. Excellent exhibition detailing the recent renovation and lovely walled gardens. Perfect mornings entertainment for the family. Tremendous views of the surrounding countryside.

This is a very well maintained beautiful small château that has an audio self guided tour as well as regular tours (check with chateauneuf team for hours and languages). The small village where the château is located is a very quaint village with beautiful stone houses and quite a variety of small restaurants where you can havevlunch, dinner or just an apéritif or a coffee break. Checked some of the menus andcthe prices were quite reasonable . . Definitely recommended !

It is not expensive to visit, which is fair as a lot of the castle is not available to see. There are a lot of videos to watch about the renovation work which are quite interesting. There were a couple of primary school classes visiting when we went, so it was often difficult to see anything. It's not somewhere I would take the smaller grandchildren as it's quite bland and a lot of reading to do to understand it. Parking in the very pretty village and toilets near the gift shop.

Went with the family during our holiday. Kids (4 & 7yrs) loved it. Free entrance for kids, adults was not so expensive. (6eur p.p) (The souvenir shop itself was quite expensive) Keep in mind that between 12.30-14.00 visiting is closed. We spended ~1 hr in the château and also ~1hr in the village. Lots of art to be found, some restaurants but no grocery shopping.

Lovely place for a walk and some ice cream. If you have the time, take the full tour of the fortress. If not, enjoy the majestic renovations and the view. Carefully: avoid walking under the oaks- the caterpillars are toxic.

Really loved the audio guide that gave great information but was entertaining the way it is done. Took us about an hour and a half to go through and a great picture of the non wine history in Beaune. Especially liked the pharmacie room and the presentation of every day life in those times.

This was definitely the highlight of our visit in Beaune. The building used to be a hospital for poor people and is now very well restored. Entrance fee is Euro 12 - you can book online or pay at the spot. The roof and the building itself are very beautiful but they cannot be seen from outside. You need to purchase a ticket. I am glad we did.

Truly beautiful: the roof, courtyard, musuem displays, the numerous works of art. Very well curated, easy to understand the history and acts of charity carried out here. The Last Judgement altarpiece is a true masterpiece and is not to be missed, very powerful Practically had the place to ourselves after 6

Great place to learn about how medicine was practices since the 15th century. Well restored and well presented. Their audio guide is an excellent teaching and learning tool, especially the “if you would like to learn more” green button.

Step back in time of old style hospital. Magnificent building with a tiled roof you can see best from inside the large courtyard. Well worth the entry fee. Booklet or headphones self audio tour are included with ticket price.

Working for a Hospice charity, I enjoyed seeing the granddad of Hospices in Beaune. This town was caring for the vulnerable from before my country was even discovered. Amazing tour and worth the ticket price to enter.

A must have seen in Beaune. Yes the roof is great. But for me the history of the very old hospital and its foundation fascinates me more. You get an audioguide, which I highly recommand. The tour is about 1 to 1,5 hours. A lot old hospital furnitures and equipment. Entrance was 12€, which is ok for such an historic place!

It is one of the most beautiful constructions of medieval times. Best atmosphere and vibes ✨️

This church and Abbey is one of the best preserved in France. It is surrounded by it's own walls and gates which gives it an impression of a fotres. Already in the 6th century a church was built here in a place where there used to be a Roman castrum or army camp. The Abbey got a boost in 875 when the remains of Saint Philibert were put to rest in this church and gave it it's name. The church is sober on the interior but has some interesting mosaics behind the main altar. At the entrance is a small exhibition. The Abbey has a nice central courtyard

Beautiful Building, well worth seeing the main church and surroundings. The building has a special feel to it, as you enter the nave (main part of the church)

Hate crashes a wedding and saw the place for free. To be mosaic in the ambulatory is excellent

Worth a visit for sure.

One of the most amazing churches I have been to, and I have been to hundreds or thousands of them. Beautifully restored, but not too much changed from its original state. Wonderful natural light. Not too crowded. Amazing architecture. Interesting, beautiful town that is not too touristy (at least in January, when I visited). Great, inexpensive lunch at the restaurant just outside (to the south of) the main entrance. If you like old buildings or Romanesque architecture, you should not miss Tournus.

Spectacular 5 star ⭐️

Beautiful Abbey. The 3D displays and movies show how splendid this Abbey has been. Audiotour recommended

Used to be the center of Christendom. Mostly ruins, but still lots there to see. Amazing digital recreations of the Abbey. Never really understood that until the 1400's this was the largest cathedral in Christendom - much bigger than St. Peters of that day. A combination of religious politics and the reformation in France changed all that. Much of the Abbaye was destroyed during the reformation. The digital exhibit expertly guides you through the transformation of the Abbaye over time.

Cool Abbey with a nice history. Surprised at how influencial it was over the years. Audio tour worth getting though it's a little clunky.

Layers of history are on display, with excellent 3D displays showing past-to-present contrasts and changes. Look out for the freestanding screens placed around; move and touch them to see the hidden layers. It's cool even on a very hot day, so it offers a break from the summer heat.

Going there was not super planned for us on our holidays. But it absolutely was worth it! The place is spectacular. Super big with nice explanations and visuals on how it looked once it was build. We were really in the atmosphere of medieval period !

This beautiful little town has a lot to offer if you're cruising through the back roads of Burgundy, and the Abbey is a spectacular way to spend the day if you enjoy history and ancient buildings. Besides the ruins and restorations, there are 3D films and models to dazzle you. Don't skimp on adding the Tour des Fromages toi your visit (spoiler alert - it's nothing to do with cheese). Don't be put off by the declaration of how many steps there are to climb, the view is worth it.

It is unfortunate that a majority of the place was dismantled and sold off. The place is in a constant state of renovation. There was a nice film explaining the history and the audio guide helped walk us through what was left on the place. Stepping outside and seeing where the footings are represented on the ground shows the shadow of the size of the Abby at one time. So little is left that I don’t know if the money to learn about it is worth it.

We had a great time there with our son of 6 years old. It's not too big, but still many animals to spot! Besides animals, there are also many attractions for the little ones! We had a great day.

Great day trip for all especially in July and August when the water park is open. New slides in the pool are excellent for kids under 7 and new games are fun. I highly recommend it.

More for children, not really for the animals We saw a zookeeper use a fire extinguisher on monkeys from the side to keep them appart We had to pay for the waterpark too, eventhough we did not want to use it. It was all in the price and no other options were available, it was misleading. But he parking is free.

I visited Touroparc Zoo a couple of weeks ago to celebrate my birthday, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! What made this experience so special was how hands-on it was. Unlike other soigneur experiences where you barely get to interact with the animals, Christophe made sure we were involved and engaged the whole way through. You can tell he genuinely cares for the all the reptiles and takes great pride in sharing that with others. We had the chance to see so many incredible species up close, and he gave us a fascinating look into what it’s really like to work behind the scenes at a zoo. Thank you, Christophe, for making my birthday so memorable. Your enthusiasm made the visit come alive! Highly recommend this experience to anyone, whether you're an animal lover or just curious. Truly a 10/10!

Very! nice park but absolutely ridiculous how weird they are about the height in the attractions, when accompanied by an adult. I was not allowed to drive the horses attraction with my baby who really got to love this attraction in Parc le pal. We stood 15 minutes in the burning sun. When it was our turn he pointed at the sign saying my baby should be 90cm. At Parc le pal we did this attraction multiple times without an issue. This ruined the moment. All other safe attractions you can do as parent with your kid, is not allowed, really frustrating. The wild water attraction or the mono rail are allowed :/ Please check your height restrictions... Everything else is really nice, but above gave everything a bad taste.

We visited on a cooler weekday in September and the place was very quiet which was perfect for us to see all the animals It's clear the animals are well cared for and healthy The rides and water park looked good but they were not available this late in the season

The VIP and Soigneur experiences are totally worth it. We have done the VIP visit twice and the both times was super amazing. Highly recommended. We chose to do the Soigneur experience in the reptile house and we're extremely happy with our choice. It was very very interactive and we learned so many interesting facts from Christoph. Thanks so much for the amazing experience with Curu, the snakes, lizards, iguana, crocodiles, and turtles!

We enjoyed our visit to the monastery and the museum. Beautiful site.

Very beautiful monastery with a rich history, unsurprising given how old Europe is. And this one has been well maintained, even hosting music and arts shows outside of just the walk around tour of the monastery itself. Obvious ongoing upkeep and restoration work is happening which is great given that this monastery is close to 500 years old. Doesn't look a day over 300. 🤪

A beautiful historical place where to spend a pleasant and interesting couple of hours. The architecture is impressive, the place is big and there is plenty of things to see: the church, the various rooms, the ancient tools used for the building, some historical facts etc... there was also a room with an art exhibition. Spent a wonderful afternoon there!

This place is breathtaking. The outside is beautiful and the inside is just amazing. Definitely worth the price of admission. Plan to allow yourself at least a few hours to enjoy and take in all the art, artifacts, and architecture this place has to offer.

Found by accident as we heading Northwards. Lucky the light show was on just as we took an evening stroll.Nice music also

Well maintained monastery and church with a very interesting history. The church hosts the graves of Philibert II., his mother and his wife Margaret of Austria, which are great pieces of art from Flamish sculpturers.

Stunning cathedral with a very unique roof displaying the colours of the Duchess of Burgundy built between 1506 and 1532. The monastery is behind the church.
