Asamkirche Maria de Victoria

Mentioned on 
11 lists 
Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Asamkirche Maria de Victoria is a remarkable church in Ingolstadt, designed by the celebrated Late Baroque architects, the Asam brothers. Despite its unassuming exterior, the interior of this 1730s church is a stunning example of Rococo design. Lavishly adorned with carved stucco, marquetry woodwork, and gilding, it features a 490-square-meter ceiling painting depicting the Incarnation of the Lord.
This church it's quite beautiful... From the outside it seems a little simple but on the inside its wonderful... Though a bit small. Still, I really like the many paintings on the wall and the big one on the ceiling... They also have some interesting relics and other religious stuff. The entrance cost about 3€ but I think it's worth it just for the beauty of its interior.
Juan H — Google review
You would never guess from the outside that such beauty is inside! Cost 4euro to enter. Completely worth it.
Kathy J — Google review
The Church of St Mary of Victory is a Rococo masterpiece built by the Asam Brothers in 1736. I have been on a quest to see all of the Asam Brothers' churches, which are mostly in Bavaria. The interior is lavishly adorned with carved stucco, marquetry woodwork, and gilding. The use of light colors and shapes inspired by nature are typical of the Rococo style. The ceiling has the largest flat ceiling fresco in the world, and depicts Mary as Queen of Heaven and mediator of divine grace. Each corner portrays one of the four continents paying homage to Mary. The Lepanto monstrance was created by Augsburg goldsmith Johann Zeckl in 1708 to commemorate the victory of the Christians over the Turks in the naval battle of Lepanto. A sinking Turkish ship, the fleeing Sultan, and drowning harem ladies are depicted in intricate detail. A monstrance is a vessel to display the consecrated host. The word 'monstrance' comes from the Latin 'monstrare', which is also the root for the word 'demonstrate'.
Kent W — Google review
Needless to say that the touch of the Asams brothers leave you surprised every time you see their works. the entrance is 3.5€ cash. but its worth more the exterior os very simple but once i stepped foot inside, the 490 m2 painting on the ceiling with its meaning is more than impressive, of course the main aisle is something from another level. a vey astoniching church to the Holy Maru lady of Victory. A Baroque church from the 1700's.

Beautiful church, really worth to pay and see this paintings, how also changes their perception, depending on from which side of the church you observe them: I'm impressed!
Marta K — Google review
A one of the kind church, starting with the name, inspired not by a patron saint and closing with the stuccos. It worth a visit despite the lack of heating in winter and the limited visit time. The marquetry is splendid and I won't say a word about the unique ceiling and stuccos. Enjoy, 3 euros well spent!

Oliver Y — Google review
Very enjoyable visit today. Friendly and welcoming staff. Free parking for museum visitors, have your ticket validated at the museum ticket desk. Only €5 for entry! A lot better value than other German car manufacturer museums. Great exhibits. A special R8 display at the moment. Discount for the restaurant also included. I think the coffee I had in the cafe was the best I’ve tasted in Germany. And a very nice lady running the bar and cafe. Also you can observe customers collecting their new Audi cars, here at the factory.

We visited the Audi Museum today and it was outstanding! First, the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Very helpful as well. The museum spans 3 floors. It covers the entire history of Audi with amazing cars that date back to the beginning. The cars on display are unreal. They also have motorcycles and some military vehicles. They also have a gift shop in the museum and another gift shop in one of the show rooms. We took the train from Munich and a short bus ride to the museum. Bus stop is right in front of the museum. Cost to enter is €5 per person which is an amazing price for this museum. We had a great time and loved our visit. Highly recommend!

Very welcoming staff. Their museum is not huge but has all what a fan can require. I was extremely lucky and they got to see and hear one of the Auto Union V16 from the 50s outside as they started up. What a thrill!!!! 100% recommended

A Must-Visit for Car Enthusiasts: Audi Forum Experience! The Audi Forum was a truly nice experience and a definite highlight for any car enthusiast! I absolutely loved the design of the building – it's an architectural marvel in itself. The showrooms were fantastic, showcasing an incredible range of cars that were a joy to explore. Just seeing all those vehicles up close was captivating. I highly recommend visiting! My only regret is not being able to do the factory tour, as it seems you need to buy tickets well in advance, perhaps even weeks ahead, so plan accordingly if that's on your list. Despite missing the factory tour, the overall experience was highly recommended!

Been wanted to visit this place for a very long time. Finally I did it and it really didnt disappoint. The history of the brand and the historical display is amazing. Spent almost the entire day reading all the description. Entry fees of 5 Euros well spent.
KC N — Google review
A very nice museum for autotomotive fans, with dozens of Audi models on display, and quite a bit of historic information and context. It's not as big or impressive as Mercedes or BMW's museums, but still great nontheless, with fewer crowds and also cheaper.
Alex J — Google review
The Audi museum is much quieter than the bmw, mercedes, and Porsche museums that I also visited on this trip. It's slightly more substantial than the Porsche museum and similar to the bmw, except like the Porsche museum they let you get closer to the cars. The people here are much nicer than at the bmw, and for just 5€ entry you also get free parking. Factory tour is 9€ extra. Much better experience than the bmw museum and welt. Almost makes you want to buy another Audi, even though my old A8 gave me nightmares. Also 10% discount at their restaurant, which is well priced unlike some other places.

a late baroque masterpiece and a combination of different architects' plans from beginning of 18th century. as you step in you're really gonna be impressed by the amount of details incraved in ceiling, walls and altars. the exterior is green fassade with huge height.
David A — Google review
Walking into the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary left me breathless. The altar, icons, and the way light filters through stained glass create a sacred hush that slows time. The faithful who came in and out, the soft incense, the prayers echoing—the whole place feels alive with devotion. It’s not flashy, but there’s power in its simplicity. I left more peaceful than when I arrived. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a moment of quiet reverence.

Andechs Monastery, also known as Kloster Andechs in German, is a hilltop Benedictine monastery and church that has been a center of pilgrimage for centuries. The monastery is renowned not only for its spiritual significance but also for its brewery, which produces some of the finest beer in Germany. Pilgrims flock to the monastery not just for prayer, but also to enjoy the famous beer served in the outdoor beer garden that can accommodate over 3,000 people.
An amazing place that blends Medieval atmosphere with traditional Bavarian feel. I deeply appreciated the chance to pay homage to the great composer Carl Orff. Unique brewery and wonderful food. Live music by highbrow Baverian orchestras. One of the ladies at the souvenir shop can be quite cranky though, if she needs to handle more than three. souvenir items at a time :)
Cagri E — Google review
A beautiful spot with rich history, stunning Baroque architecture, and amazing views. The on-site brewery offers traditional Bavarian beers, best enjoyed in the beer garden with authentic local food. The scenic hike from Herrsching adds to the experience. A perfect mix of culture, history, and relaxation
Amy — Google review
The reception staff behind the Wallfahrtskirche were very helpful. I was able to obtain some Klein Geld for the Wohnmobilstellplatz here. They could however not explain why the Chapel of Sorrows and Carl Orff shrine were locked shut! Said it never closes! At least 20 people were disappointed.
Lyndhurst — Google review
Its a whole experience even getting here, including an hour or so hike, but so very worth it. Our hike was beautiful, fall colors everywhere. The pilgrimage church is stunning, the scenery in the Bavarian hills is breathtaking, and the beer is some of the best we had in Germany. If you're staying in Munich or the surrounding area, you should go.

Nikita P — Google review
Herrsching am Ammersee is one of my favorite escapes from the city. The beach area is clean, scenic, and perfect for relaxing by the water, even on cloudy days. You can dip your feet in the lake, enjoy a picnic on the grass, or simply sit and take in the stunning views. The sight of yachts and sailboats gently floating on the lake adds a special charm, especially in the evening light. There’s a beautiful lakeside promenade and a well-kept park with plenty of space to walk, read, or just unwind under the trees. Whether you're looking for quiet time alone or a relaxing day trip with family or friends, Herrsching offers the perfect mix of nature, water, and serenity. Don’t miss the ferry pier. It gives you a postcard view of the entire lake!

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

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

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

It was a wonderful experience visiting the world’s oldest public housing. We went on a weekday morning, and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful, which made exploring even more enjoyable. Purchasing the ticket at the entrance was simple, and the site itself was easy to navigate. The area is beautifully maintained, with so much attention to detail that you really feel immersed in its rich history. Walking through the space gives you a true sense of cultural heritage, and it’s both educational and inspiring. I would definitely recommend this visit to anyone interested in culture and history—it’s a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience something truly special.
Masnita G — Google review
I visited The Fuggerei on two different trips, once in 2010 and then again in 2023. It's a neat experience with in Augsburg and i definitely recommend checking it out. The history here is interesting for sure and the architecture in germany in general always amazes me. I would recommend tickets in advance, although was not busy when we went. My aunt had picked them up ahead of time for us.
Mark L — Google review
Fuggerei in Augsburg is often touted as a must-see historical site, but unless you’re deeply interested in social housing history, it’s largely underwhelming. The quaint buildings and quiet atmosphere feel more like a sleepy neighborhood than a captivating attraction. The real standout is the WWII bunker—an unexpectedly compelling and haunting part of the visit. It offers a chilling, immersive look into wartime life and far surpasses the rest of the experience. If you’re nearby and curious, stop by for the bunker, but otherwise, it’s probably not worth going out of your way.
Keerthy N — Google review
A fascinating historical place that is definitely worth visiting. It beautifully combines the charm of the past with the spirit of the present.

Highly recommended when in Augsburg.

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

Wow. The golden room is definitely worth visiting. Reasonable €2.5 per person to visit. This beautiful building has a hidden golden nugget inside. Literally. The golden room has over 2.7kg (5Lbs) of gold coating all over the moldings and statues. The history of this over 450 years old building is fascinating, and how it survived and was rebuilt after WW2. The staff dis knowledgeable and super helpful with any questions when visiting. They even offer a folder in English or Spanish for international visitors.

It is home to oldest surviving stained glass. The paintings with some dating back to 11th century are authentic. Be aware that it closes at 6.

A very beautiful The Cathedral of Augsburg, founded in the 11th century. Very detailed art works with original stained glass. You can easily spend 45 minutes walking around inside and out. We went on Sunday and did not pay to get in, not sure if there is s fee at all. It is worth the visit.

Medieval Cathedral that was renewed with the Gothic style. 62m high and impressively high with beautiful art glass work, a corridor full of saints/priests Tombs. shrines surrounding the main altar. its the icon of the city.

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

Stayed in a nearby hotel and found this beautiful garden. The German peoples pride in thier surroundings and love of the outdoors truly shows at this park. You can spend hours here discovering new plants and observing the many small animal enclosures.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wonderful experience for the whole family - or you can just go crazy with your friends! The entry fee is a bit expensive for the first look, but you got value for your money. The food and drinks are at reasonable prices - not double takedown, and I really appreciate it. The park is clean, the staff is really kind and helpful. Grab a map at the entrance and you can spend the whole day there. Highly recommended for everyone!
Csaba S — Google review
Nice choice of rollercoasters, roundabouts, and other rides. Plenty of opportunities to dine, quite some at reasonable prices. The experience very much depends on the length of the waiting queues and thus on the number of people visiting the park. We went on a Friday in August, where many Bavarians are on vacation, so it was great. Kids with a birthday +- 5 days of the visit are free. Reduced fees for all under 1.50m. Most really heavy rides are free from 1.50m and 14 years of age.
Ron M — Google review
We went here on 3 November during kids autumn break, knowing it was the last week before Skyline closes for winter break: we paid the full price as it would of been summer season, a lot of amusements did not work as well as small huts with snacks were also closed. The staff for the rides were extremely RUDE and moody. We started to question if that was after Halloween mood or what has happened but everyone working there was super grumpy. It was quite disappointing experience and not worth of the money we spent.
Ieva S — Google review
If you want to use the train you have to walk 10-15 minutes from the station Rammingen bay to arrive the parking space and from there enter the park. If you are alone walking through empty fields might feel a bit uneasy. At least for me as a solo visitor arriving there early Sunday. You are provided with a useful map at the ticket booth. Adrenaline seekers should pick red-marked-equipments. There are beautiful sites for nature lovers as well. You need at least 5-6 hours to walk around and stay in line for your favourite games. The price and distance worth the adventure.

Harburg Castle

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

I’m so happy we found this place. We were looking for an authentic Medieval experience and this castle delivered. It wasn’t crowded at all and you can take your time exploring. It felt just like we were back in the Middle Ages. The tickets are cash only but it was only a few euros per person. The gift shops and restaurant take credit cards and they were not crowded.
Adam A — Google review
Great castle. Plenty of parking, easy to walk around and freindly staff. They charge you to just get in which you can basically just walk around the courtyard. There's another fee to tour the inside. Although the fee is reasonable, just viewing the courtyard for a fee is a bit much. The inside tour was very rushed. There is a lot to see in the rooms and a lot of artifacts and pictures with dates, but they rush you through without a chance to see and read it. At the end, they leave you in an art gallery that is not very impressive. Maybe reverse this, make the art gallery part of the general admission and allow more time to look at the real artifacts in the rooms. Overall, still worth a visit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ulm Minster

Lutheran church
Sights & Landmarks
The Ulmer Münster is a Lutheran church built in Gothic style, located in the heart of Ulm City. It boasts the world's tallest steeple at 161.53 meters high and features an impressive carved choir. The church is considered a must-visit landmark in Germany, offering visitors a glimpse into the Middle Ages with its lovely Gothic architecture.
I visited the Ulm Minster on my birthday and it was such a special experience. The structure is absolutely breathtaking – you can’t help but be amazed by how tall and detailed it is. I found out it’s actually the tallest church in the world, with a spire reaching about 161 meters high! It took several centuries to complete, starting in the 14th century and finally finishing in the late 1800s. Walking around the cathedral, I was blown away by the gothic architecture and how well-preserved everything is. The inside is peaceful and beautiful, and just standing there made me feel so small in the best way. I didn’t climb the tower this time, but even from the outside, it’s super impressive. If you’re ever in Ulm, you must visit this place. It made my birthday truly memorable. Totally worth it! 😊

Every nice church. This church has the tallest tower in the world. You can pay 7 Euros and walk all the way to the top. Please ensure that you are semi fit....it is a long and winding staircase of over 750 steps. But the view is worth it. They are currently doing some restorations to the church so please bear with the noise.
Lewis M — Google review
Ulm Minster is breathtaking both inside and out. The Gothic architecture is incredibly detailed, and the interior is full of history — especially the 15th-century choir stalls with their intricate wood carvings. The highlight, of course, is climbing the tallest church spire in the world. It’s 768 steps up a narrow staircase, but the panoramic view over the city and, on clear days, even the Alps, makes it worth every step. Inside, the atmosphere is peaceful and bright, with beautiful stained-glass windows and an impressive organ. The Münsterplatz around the church is also lively, with cafés and markets (the Christmas market here is fantastic). Be prepared: the tower climb is steep and not for everyone, but if you can manage it, it’s unforgettable. Overall, Ulm Minster is one of Germany’s greatest landmarks. Highly recommended!

Ulm Minster is an absolute must-see — not only for its record-breaking spire, but also for the sense of calm and beauty it offers. It’s very easy to reach, just a short and pleasant walk from Ulm’s main train station through the charming old town. When I visited, there was some ongoing renovation work, with padding and scaffolding around the front and upper sections, which did slightly spoil the full view of the façade. However, the minor distraction did not take away from the overall experience — once you step inside, the atmosphere completely changes. The city’s noise fades away, replaced by a deep sense of peace and stillness. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a quiet moment of reflection, Ulm Minster is a beautiful and easily accessible place to visit.

A beautiful church, built in the Gothic style. It abounds in beautiful elements within its interior, and until recently this church also had the largest church tower in the world.

Very nice 20.9 meter tower. Great view of Aalen and surroundings. At the base of the tower there is a playground for children, lots of benches and tables, and a restaurant, but it was closed (July Saturday afternoon).

The place is about 200m above city level and may take around 40-50 by foot from the city centre. At top there is a restaurant and a observation deck. From the observation tower one can see complete city of Aalen.

Schwörhaus

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

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

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

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

You want to spend some quality time with your family, searching web for something to do with your children in a local area? Well search no more this is a great place which is gonna stay in a warm memmory. They have a huge parking lot, a bungalov for rent if you prefer to stay overnights, a lot of fun and things to do with your family, kids will love it. Minor minus is on account of food offer, its not terrible but could be a much better.
Frane B — Google review
Many fun rides for both kids & Adults & family together. Not too big to walk around. Some rides for Baby/Toddler, can also enjoy along with parents. 1 Restaurant & 3 Food stalls available. Best to follow map to check the rides, find Food stall & Toilets. Ticket is cheaper compared to other big Amusement parks. Group ticket is more cheaper. Hardly no place to sit with mat on floor. Average time excluding Ques/waiting is around 4hrs. Wheel chair can be accessible to walk around. Usually this place is crowded, So expect waiting time at every ride. Just one entrance ticket, all rides are free.

(Translated by Google) We finally went there as a family today. We weren't disappointed - in advance IMPORTANT 🚨🚨🚨 This year, the last tours are being offered; according to the provider, there will be no more tours after that. 🚨🚨🚨 There are two different tour lengths. We chose a date online and paid immediately via PayPal. It worked great. There's an option to stay and eat on-site. 🥘 But we didn't do this. When we registered, which was quick, we received wristbands. (Paid 🤪) We were then allowed to walk the route to the starting point 🏃, which is extremely beautiful in the surrounding area. When we arrived, we were given instructions and then allowed to start. (Life jackets for children are provided.) The trip itself was fun, of course - there were a few small rapids in the sections that were really fun. 🚨We recommend wearing water shoes and avoiding carrying unnecessary items unless they are waterproof. 🚨 (Original) Wir waren heute als Familie endlich dort.

Bei unserer Anmeldung die schnell vonstatten ging haben wir Armbändchen bekommen. (Bezahlt 🤪) Wir durften dann die Strecke zum Startpunkt laufen 🏃 die äußerst schön ist in der Umgebung. Als wir angekommen sind wurden wir eingewiesen und durften dann auch starten. ( Schwimmweste für Kinder bekommt man gestellt) Die Fahrt an sich hat natürlich auch Spaß gemacht - in den Abschnitten waren ein paar kleinere Stromschnellen die richtig Spaß gemacht haben. 🚨Es empfiehlt sich Wasserschuhe zu tragen und möglichst keine unnötigen Gegenstände mit sich zu führen - außer sie sind wasserdicht. 🚨

Swimming & bathing in mineral-rich water at a vast spa complex with colorful night lighting.
Relaxing Oasis with Fantastic Facilities I recently visited Panorama Therme Bauren, and it exceeded my expectations! The indoor swimming pool is immaculate, with crystal-clear water and a soothing ambiance. The variety of facilities, from saunas to relaxation areas, ensures a holistic experience. The staff is friendly, and the overall cleanliness is commendable. A perfect place to unwind and rejuvenate. Highly recommended!
Ambrose M — Google review
A truly enjoyable experience and one of the better thermal spa destinations I’ve visited! The complex is spacious, well-maintained, and offers plenty of amenities for a full day of relaxation. The outdoor pool with its swirling current effect is a highlight—both relaxing and fun. The water has a slightly salty taste, adding to the natural and therapeutic feel. The facility is modern and thoughtfully designed, with excellent accessibility for people with special needs. Everything is clean, and the staff is friendly and professional. I highly recommend visiting, whether as part of a weekend wellness getaway or a day trip. For thermal spa lovers—this place is a real gem!

This place is brilliant. Staff are great and have limited English but they still tried and it's much better than my non existent German. So you pay and they give you a watch which controls the gate to get in and exit. It also locks and unlocks the lockers which is smart You get into a changing cubicle get changed and exit out the other side where the lockers are. Put your stuff in and follow the crowd. If you have never been to a public bath it's good etiquette to wash first before getting into any of the pools. There's quite a lot to choose from in various different temperatures so you'll find one that will suit you The most fun one is the whirlpool where you just grab a foam stick wrap it around you and the water will carry you around the large pool where there are various jets that can massage you. 13 euros for 2 1/2 hours which I think is plenty is pretty cheap . There's also saunas but you will have to go in stark naked. Thoroughly recommended

Schloss Lichtenstein

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Historical landmark
19th-century, cliff-top castle, inspired by a novel, with a chapel & courtyard, plus regular tours.
Parking was amazingly affordable. We loved the availability of places to eat and drink near the castle. For us, this is part of the total experience. The castle itself is beautiful and in a very scenic location. The one downside is the lack of at least one English language tour on the weekend days.
Mark A — Google review
It was cheap to just walk around on the inside for 5 Euros and pay extra to get the tour. I thought that was great that they gave you options. They had a nice store right in-front with food and sold goodies at the ticket booth. Great information booklet in English. And the views were spectacular. Car parking was only 2 Euro and they had lots of various walking areas.
Grace M — Google review
Schloss Lichtenstein feels like something straight out of a fairytale. Built right on the edge of a cliff, the way it sits perched above the valley is absolutely stunning. As you walk up to it, the first thing that strikes you is how dramatic the setting is — the castle looks almost like it’s growing out of the rock itself. Once you’re there, you can’t help but admire the views that open up all around you. The castle isn’t as large as some of the other well-known German castles, but that’s exactly what gives it so much charm. Its smaller size and unique location make it feel intimate and magical at the same time. Walking around, you get the sense of stepping into a storybook, with every angle offering another perfect picture. Compared to other castles I’ve visited in Germany, Schloss Lichtenstein stands out because of its setting. While Hohenzollern impresses with its grand scale and history, Lichtenstein wins you over with its fairytale look and the way it blends into the cliffside. The combination of scenery, architecture, and atmosphere makes it unforgettable. It’s one of those places where you stop, take your time, and just enjoy the moment. For me, visiting Schloss Lichtenstein was a highlight, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a castle that looks like it was lifted straight from the pages of a fairytale.
Rafi S — Google review
Can a book inspire you enough to build a castle based on the book's description? I can clearly understand the feelings of Wilhelm von Urach who was mesmerized by Wilhelm Hauff's book "Lichtenstein" at the point that he ordered to build that castle. This is the essence of the era of German Romanticism – a dream of the times of medieval castles, knights and chivalry. The castle itself is magnificent: it rises directly from the cliff, immediately creating an atmosphere of medieval times. The suspension bridge can rise at any moment, blocking the path to the impregnable castle, while the princess has fallen in enchanted sleep... The exteriors are stunning, you might want to plan more than 3 hours for castle visiting. Don't miss the wooden sculpture of Wilhelm Albert von Urach on the road to the castle. The exteriors can be visited only with guided tour, which lasts around 30 minutes (on German or English, flyers provided). The entrance fee is now 14 euros (it was 12 in May 2024). Taking photos inside is strictly prohibited, which is very unfortunate, as the 193cm long champagne glass looks amazing, as well as the armory and weapons, wooden furniture, decorated walls and painted ceilings. The stained glass in the chapel is interesting, too. The other unfortunate thing is the transport communication. The bus goes to the castle only on Sundays, while on working days you will need to find your way to the castle and from it through the forest where no signs can be found (route from road L230). On the official website of the castle you can find the maps of the tracking paths, but there's no mention about the Honau track being unpassable because of numerous fallen trees. It's humid and slippery in the forest even on warm and dry weather. And again, no signs whatsoever. There is a parking area (2€ for the whole day) very close to the castle, so I strongly recommend reaching to the castle by car. TIP: Don't forget to visit the ruins of Alt Lichtenstein, they are close to the Lichtenstein castle and offer a beautiful view. P.S. Drones are prohibited in the area.

An absolutely stunning castle with incredible views! The location on the cliff is breathtaking, and the architecture looks straight out of a fairytale. It’s a beautiful place to wander around, take photos, and just enjoy the atmosphere. Definitely a must-see if you’re nearby! There is a large parking lot nearby to drive up to the castle that costs €2 (you can pay cash to the parking attendant or with card at the nearby cafe if you do not have cash) There’s a small fee to enter the castle grounds, which I found totally worth it for the views alone. You can also pay extra for a guided tour inside the castle, but I just explored the outside area and still had a great experience. I wouldn’t buy tickets in advance, the line at the ticket desk goes down quickly and it’s worth the wait!
Jack F — Google review
Here are a few tips on how to go to the caste with public transport. On Sundays and holidays there are busses that take you directly to the castle without any hiking needed. These busses don’t show in the Google maps, you can check the times using the DB app. It is very easy and simple to find the bus. If you go on a day without a bus directly to the castle, then you need to do the 30min hike. It starts from the bus stop in Honau. The hike to the castle is very easy. A normal active person can do it fine. It is just a trail inside the forest. There was a fallen tree in the middle of the trail, making it a little difficult, but was ok. If you are with kids or with a girlfriend then it is not recommend to take the trail as the fallen tree part is a bit tricky. But if you are a group of guys, go for it! Go get the famous picture of the castle you need to pay to get in the yard (5 Euros). To get inside the castle you also need to pay (More 8 Euros). *I don’t remember the prices exactly. I recommend doing the small tour inside the castle. It was very fun and interesting. The guide was a lady and she did an amazing job! Lastly there are a few restaurants up there and also a big parking lot for cars.
Ricardo F — Google review
Beautiful little castle and rivals Neuschwanstein for that fairy tale style castle feel. The only down side to our visit is that we booked the tour and we were handed a English pamphlet to read as the tour was conducted in German only - except for the guide telling us not to take any pictures inside the castle in English. It was neat to see the interior but wish the guide would did a little bit of it in English or had a separate tour like other stops.

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

The OUTLETCITY in Metzingen is one of the big down in Germany. The products are made in china or Africa and the prices are sky-high. The restaurant food is overpriced and even the drinking water is not affordable in this summer and charging 3 euros for a small pet bottle. The Drinks wending machine is not working and you need to buy from only those restaurants.

Amazing place it is like a village and offers everything (food, coffee, drinks etc.) I couldn’t say that the discounts worth the visit as it is an average 30% minus the initial price. You have to search a lot to find a real offer. It ils also really crowded but that is normal for a place like this. I couldn’t imagine that you have to pay parking fee (2€/hour!!!) in a city outlet where you go to spend money for sure 👎

Esslingen am Neckar Castle is a historic site with a courtyard garden that offers sweeping views of Esslingen. The long flight of stairs on the city wall provides breathtaking views over the city and vineyards, especially when dusted in snow. The town itself is magical with cobblestone streets, gingerbread-style houses, and stunning vistas. Visitors can enjoy a cozy staircase leading to a good restaurant and a large free valley for relaxation.
The view over the city is stunning. If you prefer, there’s also a bus that can take you up, but climbing the steps makes the experience much more special. A great spot to explore, relax, and take beautiful photo..☺️

Lovely old castle and worth a visit for the views alone! Google maps sends you the ' stairs ' way! This is a steep climb up about 300 stairs? ( We meant to go back for a picture of them but forgot! ) Otherwise you can go up the roads to it. Like I said the views are spectacular and it's free! There's a restaurant up there too but I'm guessing you might need to book?

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

Great view of the city. Beatiful structure and gardens. A little over 300 steps to get up there, totally worth the climb. I wish it was possible to access inside the tower.

Beautiful setting for photos and views above Esslingen. The stairs are tough but make for a good workout before heading to the farmers market in town. One note, it doesn't appear you can actually go inside the main tower

part of the old fortification from 1314. you can only go up the stairs and enjoy the view from top. big green yard and a beergarden. perfect for events and ceremonies.

Esslingen Market Square

Market
Shopping
Esslingen Market Square is a charming open-air marketplace located just 15 minutes from Stuttgart by local train. The square hosts a medieval market with merchants wearing traditional clothing and demonstrating medieval crafts like glassblowing. Visitors can enjoy artists, music, food, and holiday events. The Christmas Market is particularly enchanting with detailed decorations and people dressed in beautiful medieval costumes, creating a unique atmosphere that transports you back in time.
The starting point for the local Christmas Market if arriving from the Esslingen Neckar Train Station on day trip from Stuttgart. Stalls here are beautifully setup with Christmas theme with charming building framing the market.

Esslingen Market Square is surrounded by stunning half-timbered houses and historic buildings, it offers a perfect blend of medieval charm and modern vibrancy. The market square is home to cozy cafés, local shops, and seasonal events that bring the town to life.

A very nice walk thru and old city any time of year. We went on a warm October day and had a good time. Lots of cafes, shops, and bakeries with good coffee and food.

Beautiful town. We were lucky to be there for the summer festival.

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

Stopped by for an afternoon during the recent Estival, Jazz and Weiss Beer in the sunshine. Knew nothing about the Estival before seeing the advertising at Tram stations in Stuttgart the night before. Hopefully visit again for the Christmas market.

I was here for the Christmas Market and it îs a beautiful medieval market with very good vibe and food. The only suggestion is to go durring the day cause at night it is overcrowded and the lights are not worth it.Awesome place, much nicer than the Stuttgart one.

Grave chapel on the Wuerttemberg

Mentioned on 
9 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Located on Württemberg hill, the Sepulchral Chapel is a stunning mausoleum built by King William I in memory of his beloved wife, Queen Catherine. The Neoclassical-style structure offers breathtaking views of Stuttgart and the Neckar valley. It was constructed between 1820 and 1824 and features a domed rotunda inspired by the Pantheon in Rome. The inscription "Love never dies" above the entrance adds to its romantic allure.
My favourite place in Stuttgart, been here 2 times. Will visit every time I visit Germany. Beautiful. 1 hour journey from hbf needs to walk like 12 mins or so. On day time you do have a restaurant and a wine place at night time you have peace. Both are good. Do go in different times and different seasons to see different beauties. The view of Stuttgart is also measuring.

A hidden gem in Stuttgart! The Grave Chapel on Württemberg Hill offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the Neckar wine valley, Stuttgart cityscape, and lush green surroundings. The peaceful atmosphere and panoramic scenery make it an ideal spot for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts alike. Parking can be a bit tricky, especially on weekends — be ready for a short uphill walk. I’d definitely recommend carrying some food and drinks, find a quiet spot, and just soak in the views. Other visitors rightly mention how calm and spiritual the chapel feels, especially during sunset. Some even describe it as Stuttgart’s “mini Tuscany” because of the vineyards all around. Definitely worth the hike! Perfect for a half-day outing with family, friends, or solo time. 🌿🍇📸

built as a memorial for the sudden death of the young princess as a love last gift from Kaiser. the surrounding is amazing with grape field and old houses. you can see Stuttgart till the Tv tower. the entrance is cheap and you can see the chapel which looks like the Roman Pantheon.

I went there with some colleagues after work. It was an amazing place to go. I think I do have like a wine tour or something like that somewhere nearby but I’m not 100% sure. I saw some people drinking at the top and they were part of a wine tour.

Amazing view, worth a visit! Probably the best view in the Stuttgart region!

Best place to see Sunset and cityscape from top. There are lots of sitting places surrounding the area. You will also find a coffee shop close to top. The area is open to the public. Only the chapel has an entrance ticket. Good spot to have a drink or some snacks or food with friends and family. You can bring your own food and drinks. You can also enjoy the night lights of the city of Stuttgart.
