Beautiful place to experience the serenity and grace of the Franciscan spirituality. A place so dear to St Francis of Assisi. Set amongst a hill top cliff, it speaks of all things Francis, nature, serenity, wildlife.

It was indeed a gem. We had a lot th whole day. Prayer, meals, encounter, tour around the place and concluded with a procession and a mass.
Mikeronil B — Google review
Absolutely STUNNING PLACE whether you are believer or not. It is very suggestive place in the mountains in province of Arezzo (Tuscany). It consists of couple of buildings of sanctuary, church, chapels, place where Saint Francis received the stigmas, small museum, shop. You can feel strong spirituality and huge peace there. When i entered the church, one of Franciscan monk played the grand piano and I burst into tears without reason. We didn't planned this visit on our journey, we were with our dog, which was not a problem everywhere outside. Please pay attention, there is about 5-7 degrees colder in this valley, we suggest to take jumper or jacket with you. We ate local "piadinas" in small bar near the parking place. Surely WORTH OF NEXT VISIT AGAIN.
Lenka S — Google review
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, La Verna is a place of unparalleled natural beauty and spiritual significance. Its rugged cliffs and lush forests provide a stunning backdrop to the iconic La Verna Sanctuary, where St. Francis of Assisi once communed with nature and received the stigmata. A pilgrimage to this hallowed site promises a profound connection with both the divine and the wonders of the Italian landscape.

Fortress of San Leo

Mentioned on 
9 lists 
Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
The Fortress of San Leo, also known as Rocca di San Leo, is a striking hilltop castle and former prison that has been transformed into a museum showcasing an array of weapons and instruments of torture. Situated in the municipality of San Leo in the province of Rimini, Emilia-Romagna, this fortress is perched atop a rocky peak overlooking the town of Leontine and commanding breathtaking views over Valmarecchia.
A small old town at the bottom of a fortress, which invites to exploration. Great view around most of the town. A short hike to the fortress itself is rewarding as the fortress is also big and has many floors, information and weapons from different eras on display. I recommend going there👍 On top of the fortress theres a stunning view around the area🙂
Eike M — Google review
A decade ago, I visited the Fortress of San Leo, and I was really impressed by how well-maintained the construction still was. One of the most striking parts of the visit was the torture room, where people accused of heresy, like Cagliostro, were imprisoned by Pope Pius IV. The tools used for torture were on display, which gave a chilling but fascinating glimpse into the past. The region itself is full of culture and offers stunning landscapes, plus the food in Emilia Romagna is incredible—definitely a highlight of the trip!
Fernando T — Google review
Tricky to rate this. We went mid may. Clouds had rolled in so not much of a view. Went to the tourist info area which seemed to be closed even though someone was inside. We decided to walk up to the castle. The pedestrian walkway was very crumbly and slippy. Not good. Again the ticket shop was lit up and sort of open but no one inside. There was an automatic ticket machine. We pressed the English translation button. All it did was change the top word to "Entance" but the rest stayed in English! Worked out as a 10 euro entry. But no one to tell what there was and no views due to low cloud decided not to go in. Walked back down the road rather than go down the dodgy steps. The town itself was nice with an interesting church. We were unlucky with weather but the service could have been better.
Chris W — Google review
Impressive structure and great views. However inside is less impressive, mostly empty rooms (which is understandable given it’s previous role as a prison). Majority of information in Italian only. If you are a fan of torture tools, you will see plenty inside.
Błażej — Google review
We followed the steep, zig zag path up the hillside through the forest to arrive in front of the castle. The castle looks like a state of the art 16th century creation and the location must have made it almost impregnable to assault, with sheer cliffs on almost every side and just one narrow road leading up to it. Entry was 10€ and we spent a couple of hours there as there was so much to see. The views were the most obvious and spectacular thing - all the way to the Adriatic Sea and possibly San Marino, with every hilltop on the Appenines seems to have a castle on it. There is a well marked route through the castle with the fortified tunnels and fireports followed by the original prison cells and exhibits of torture and the inquisition. The inner structure had barracks, armouries, cells for Papal prisoners and a museum about the life of the enigmatic Cagliostro. He was the most famous prisoner of the fortress, a confidence trickster who travelled throughout Europe and mixed with the rich and famous, involved in alchemy, freemasonry and healing and regarded as a heretic by the church. His death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment in the fortress. He had a small cell with no door, he was lowered in from the room above, where his guard stayed and watched him through a grille and spyhole. I'm sure the view lost its appeal after a while and he died after 4 years in his cell. The armouries had a mixture of medieval, WW1 and WW2 weapons, quite a comprehensive collection! We sat and had an ice cream from the museum shop before doing a final circuit of the walls and then carefully making our way down the path.
Marcus H — Google review
Very nice and quiet place. You can buy the tickets directly from the touch machine at the entrance. We didn't manage to go inside as we had the dog and nobody was in the office area to ask if it was possible to enter with the dog. It was less busy then we expected but the view is nice from outside as well.
D. L — Google review
Lovely place for a day trip - especially if you like walking, castles, history, and great views! You could spend many hours inside the castle looking at all the artifacts and watching the films they have about the castle. If you spend time walking around everything then it's well worth the €9 entry fee.
Corina P — Google review
Wonderful visit on a very foggy day but still worth it. Easy walk up hill that is well sign posted. Good signage inside. Probably great views but not the day I visited as you can see in the photos.

Marinando

Mentioned on

Temporarily Closed
Association / Organization
Sights & Landmarks
Marinando is an association that offers boat tours underneath the Tiberius Bridge, a picturesque ancient Roman bridge with five arches. This eloquent Istrian stone architecture was designed by the Romans and features handles that redirect the flow of the Marecchia River's current to reduce its force on the bridge. The bridge has historic significance as it marks the beginning of Via Emilia, an important arterial road between Rimini and Po river valley.
A Roman fie arch bridge build with white istrian stone in 17 to 20 AD, is the only one surviving after the Second World war. If you look closely you can see the Roman encryptions on the stone. On the square there's boards telling you the history of it and further down there's a big park which I didn't visit. The whole area it has good vibes with plenty restaurants and cafes.

Very old!!! I cannot believe I can stand on a bridge that was built in Jesus's lifetime! It feels as though you are connected to ancient roman days. Truly incredible. It's funny to see the locals pass by you without thinking about the deep historical context. Just wow.

Italia in Miniatura

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Theme park
Museums
Italia in Miniatura is a theme park that showcases small-scale models of famous Italian buildings, including the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli and Portiuncula Chapel. Additionally, there are models of European structures and rides for visitors to enjoy. The park offers an intricate and accurate depiction of Italy's architecture and provides a unique perspective on the country's history. A visit to Italia in Miniatura is highly recommended for those who appreciate miniature things and have an interest in Italian culture.
The miniatures itselves are good for Italians or people who know Italy a lot. However, all the attractions around are splendid for children - they are all included in entrance fee and thanks to their high frequency of operation there were only short queues. I highly recommend with children up to 10-12 years.
Marek N — Google review
Great little theme park. More aimed at children under 10 but plenty of older couples and families visit too. Nice to see all the major landmarks and walk around them.

Tbh I wasn't expecting much and it was a spur of the moment thing to fill an afternoon. Once through the doors it's actually a pretty cool place. There is so much detail everywhere. I found so many locations that I would love to visit on our next italian trip and it's laid out in a representation of the country. There was so much more to see that I realised at first. Some places were not open but that was the only blotch on an enjoyable visit.

The most amazing tematic park we've ever been. Attractions, miniature Italy and Europe, the remake of Piazza Italia and Venice by boat is simply amazing. We spent a fantastic day there, highly recommended.
Hegedűs R — Google review
Very nicely done with many side activities for children, the map is done with attention to detail, trains and boats coming and going, the venice boat trip is especially nice. Needs about 3-4 hours to absorb it all, but even more time can be spent here with options to eat, coffe and sweets.
Andras D — Google review
A must-do experience. There’s something for everyone here, much more than we expected before we went. Quite a magical place, considering how much effort must go into each piece of art to display one area of Italy. You learn a lot on your way around as well, with the quiz. There’s moving parts around every corner, especially the train system is constantly in motion, very impressive. The Venice experience was nicer than actual Venice, as we didn’t have to fight any crowds! Overall exceptional in terms of value for money and experience. Highly recommend it.
Andrew ( — Google review
We had amazing time with the kids. We visited for evening visit (18-23h, special dates this summer), when every ticket was only 10euro and all the rides were free. Definitely worth a visit!
Petra G — Google review
A very nice place to spend a few hours. In addition you have some attractions like log rides, monorail train rides, mini parrot zoo, ride in gondola through Venice in miniature and carousels for small children in Pinokio themed park . We visited in the morning and there was no long wait anywhere. Later it's getting busier. There are refreshments available on the site and souvenir shops. Buss no 8 goes straight from Rimini to Italy in miniature. Highly recommend.

Forlì - Museo San Domenico

Art museum
Museums
Specialty Museums
The Musei di San Domenico is a museum complex located in Forli, Italy, set within a medieval convent. The complex includes the deconsecrated church of San Giacomo Apostolo and two cloisters. After a period of neglect, extensive restoration efforts have transformed the space into a hub for art and culture. The Forli Civic Art Gallery is housed within the complex, showcasing an impressive collection of works by renowned artists such as Antonio Canova and Livio Agresti.
One of the most important Italian museum and the best experience I’ve ever had. Because of when I visited, I was fortunate enough to have the museum all to myself - which was surreal. Their permanent collection is beautiful, and the stories behind some of their pieces are extraordinary. Staff are all incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and not only great professionals, but amazing humans. I got to hear the origin story of the building, among many others which contributed to what it is today. The building although very old, is incredibly well kept, and the interior is a tasteful modern, which still does well to emphasise the authentic architectural identity of the museum. The place is squeaky clean all around, and overall just very calm and pleasant to be in. As always, there is a discount for students. After such a wonderful experience, I’m definitely looking forward to coming back in spring for their yearly special exhibition - which will host over three hundred paintings from the greatest artists of all time!

The Pre-Raphaelite exhibit was so very, very good! As an older person I wish that I had been able to visit the exhibit twice - too much for one visit. Also the informational signs should be bigger - hard to see and many people at one time trying to read them created a bit of a crowd. BUT SO WORTH SEEING!

Mirabilandia

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Temporarily Closed
Amusement park
Water & Amusement Parks
Mirabilandia is Italy's largest amusement park, located in Ravenna. It offers a perfect solution for families with kids and teenagers to have an exciting day out. The park features a variety of thrilling roller coasters, including the popular 'Katun,' as well as water and family rides. Additionally, visitors can enjoy attractions like laser gun games and live shows.
I visited Mirabilandia in Emilia-Romagna with friends/family and had a fantastic time overall. The park is huge, well-organized, and offers a wide range of attractions for all ages — from adrenaline-pumping roller coasters to family-friendly shows and water rides. 👍 What I liked: • Katun and iSpeed are must-rides if you love thrill coasters — fast, smooth, and exciting! • The water park (Mirabeach) is a great bonus, especially during hot summer days. • Cleanliness: The park is generally clean and well-maintained. • Variety: There’s a good mix of rides, shows, and food options. • Parking is spacious and easy to navigate. 👎 What could be better: • Waiting times: Lines can get quite long during peak hours — a Fast Pass is recommended. • Food prices are high and the quality is average. • Some areas could use a refresh or renovation. • Limited shade in some zones, so bring sunscreen and a hat. 📝 Tip: Try to arrive early and head straight to the most popular rides first (Katun, iSpeed, Divertical). Also, booking tickets online in advance can save you time and money.
Dinal R — Google review
A beautiful amusement park with everything you could want and more. For all ages. Water attractions, such as adventure rivers, water jumps, and water slides. High-speed slides of various types and difficulty levels. Simulations, entertainment, and all kinds of shows. Of course, all kinds of food. If you have tickets to both parks, entry is faster at Mirabeach. But the reception is only at the main entrance.

I had such an amazing day here! Despite not being the biggest amusement park ou there, it is certainly a good one! The staff is super welcoming, the food offered is delicious, and most importantly, the costumer service is amazing! However, the queues are usually gigantic, so I do recommend getting the flash pass, otherwise the experience might not be as enjoyable! Additionally, if you have any disabilities or special needs, the park also offers a flash pass for people with special needs!
Artur P — Google review
We loved our visit to Mirabilandia! The park is very clean and beautifully maintained. The attractions are well chosen for adrenaline seekers - iSpeed, Katun and especially Divertical, which is both a water ride and a thrill ride (you will definitely end up wet on that one!). This park is a great complement to Gardaland - each has its own style. Mirabilandia feels slightly less tailored to non-Italian-speaking visitors, but everything was still easy to understand and enjoy. Other water rides were also fantastic. Although we visited as two adults, we noticed plenty of areas and attractions for younger visitors too. Overall, a wonderful experience!
Alexey G — Google review
Amazing fun park with lots of things to do! I especially love the rollercoasters, they have few of them on a world class level. The end of the day was in a style - with Hot Wheels acro show, and also water jetpacks audio-visual show to close the night at 10pm.
A. — Google review
Was a really nice and refreshing vacation,but make sure to buy your tickets online in advance and buy the flash pass regular from the website all for 50€, because if you dont there is minimum wait time of 30-50 min a ride, and it you decide to buy it there only the flash pass costs 50€ and the ticket there also costs 50€ to enter which is personally think is unfair, would love it more if they didnt cut the closing time by 6 hours since schools started, Its understandable that the workers have kids and everything but to cut it from 12pm to 6pm is something else, otherwise most of the staff were friendly except a few, but it was a nice experience for a theme park.

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
The Basilica of San Vitale is a renowned octagonal domed church famous for its intricate and vibrant Byzantine mosaics. The mosaics feature tesserae cut in regular and irregular sizes, creating a stunning visual effect. The transition from naturalistic representations to mosaics with golden backgrounds reflects the ideological and stylistic changes of the time.
The basilica was one of the reasons we traveled to Ravenna and the church is breathtakingly beautiful!!! It's a different kind of art that has been applied here. The mosaic stones were used perfectly and we couldn't stop being amazed. Everyone should have seen this church... words cannot describe it! We were impressed and would visit the church every time!

Absolutely beautiful. There was a wait wait for buying the tickets so definitely recommend buying the online. There was also a gift shop with all kinds of stuff from mosaic kits to socks, the prices were kinda high though. As for the inside, it was absolutely beautiful and it was pretty clear that it was an ancient basilica build by the Byzantinians. A part of it was also destroyed but now it has been rebuilt. There's lots of mosaics in the basilica so it's definitely worth it checking out. The ticket also give you access to another famous attractions (it can be 2 or 4 depending on what you want)

Basilica of San Vitale absolutely wowed me! The moment I stepped inside, I was surrounded by shimmering mosaics that feel alive, gold, emerald, and sapphire scenes glowing from every angle. The portraits of Justinian and Theodora are breathtaking up close, and the octagonal layout gives the whole space a serene, almost otherworldly vibe. If you love art, history, or just beautiful places, this is an unforgettable stop in Ravenna. Five sparkling stars from me!

San Vitale resolves structure and image into one coherent drama. The octagon holds a wide ambulatory with a second, raised gallery above it, so the building reads in concentric rings. Overhead a lightweight tube-built dome still claims eight sturdy columns, an honest frame for what follows. Marble revetment is book-matched and cool; above it the apse blooms with gold: Abraham’s hospitality opposite the sacrifices of Abel and Melchizedek, then Christ on a blue globe offering the crown to Saint Vitale while Bishop Ecclesius presents the church. Along the flanks, the imperial processions of Justinian and Theodora advance with quiet ceremony. The light is low, but it serves the purpose: tesserae catch and release a warm, shifting glow, so the theology seems to move as you do.

An extremely beautiful and historic Basilica right in the heart of Ravenna. The mosaics are extremely beautiful and impressive, shows you the level of detail and craftsmanship that was put into this stunning work. Built nearly 1700 years ago, the building has not shown many signs of decay and is worth the ticket price to enter. It seems smaller from the outside, but the inside is incredibly large. Will visit again!

Unfortantely there is an ongoing reconstruction indoor, but this is an unskippable attracion of Ravenna. This was my favourite site of all, and I highly recommend. It is part of the 3- and 5- attraction ticket, which is affordable. Let the pictures speak…

Nice set of rooms right near the city centre of Ferrara. The rooms are tidy and the is a lot of space. The bathroom is sort clean and comfortable. The kitchen has to be shared with another room and then it needs to be cleaned. The prices are really good for the quality it offers. The WiFi is free and there is usually someone to speak to if you need something.

We ordered the room trough Booking and got totally different room - smaller ofcourse. With terrace that is locked with two locks. So you pay for a spacious room and get a tiny room in the attic. When we wanted to sort things out with the owner he/she? (They dont answer the phone, comunicate only via whatsapp text messages) told us that booking is mixing pictures which is not true. Anyways the owners manners were absolutely horrific, he in fact told us to leave him alone.. There are many better acomodations in Ferrara, please support them. People running this place are the worst.

They charged for consumption of snacks that did not occur, and I never gave them my card information directly, meaning they got it from either Booking or Nexi. They provided the wrong WiFi information, but with a good amount of insults as I confronted them.

I'am very disapointed with this acomodation. I feel cheated and disgusted. We booked this acomodation via booking and unfortunatelly did not checked the reviews on google. The acomodation is something absolutely different than what we saw on booking pictures. Also there should be tereace which is locked, dirty and behind the grids. The acomodation is totally not matching the photos and hosts actions and communications is behind any boundaries of good manners. I definitely do not recommend it.

Although I found this on a day use hotel website they claim they're not. After calling and trying to reach them to get a better proper answer they just hang up the phone or don't answer it. I came to Ferrara to have a rest here on purpose and now have no where to go. The minimum is to answer the phone or door! Been standing outside ringing the bell and nothing. Dear team be careful where you put your business! Thank you , hope that help and now I'm just going to take a nap in the street , thanks to amazing professionalism.

One of the worst hotels I've ever been to. They have the central A/C system and they set it to 25°. Do you call that A/C? Had to complain several times to set it to 21°. The bed was really bad. It makes a very disturbing noise every time you move. After changing the towels, they provided just one big towel for two people. Extremely disappointed.

Estense Castle

Mentioned on 
37 lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Estense Castle, also known as the Castle of San Michele, is a grand 14th-century moated castle in Ferrara, Italy. Originally built for political and military purposes, it later became the residence of the Este family. The castle boasts four impressive towers and holds over six centuries of history within its walls. Visitors can explore lavish private chambers, a chapel, prison, and a museum showcasing precious artworks.
Of all the attractions in Ferrara, the Estense Castle is the most iconic. We visited on a Thursday morning and there were very few other visitors. Our ticket was part of the MyFE card, which is definitely worth purchasing for a few days ( if nothing else it reduces the tourist tax. We paid just over €25 euros for a 6 day pass. The castle is most impressive from the exterior., however unlike some castles I have visited in Italy it has a good degree of information and exhibits as you go round. Dont expect to wizz round, it seemed like a labyrinth, and we were there for about 2 hours. The Lions Tower is about 112 steps, not too bad compared to many towers Ive climbed. Obviously there not as tall, you still had a good view over the old town. When we visited (June 2025) The visit finished qith an exhibition of photography by Art Kane. Hands up, I had never heard if the guy, but if you are person of a certain age (like myself) you could help but recognise many of his iconic images. The icing on the cake were the Andy Worhols. The exhibition runs until September and is definitely an added bonus. You can visit the courtyard for free and there were at least 3 entrances across the moat. The tourist office is also located in the courtyard. Ferrara is a definitely not a tourist town as such and can therefore be enjoyed without too much hussle and bussle. On the other hand it is most certainly a working town and unlike many of the more famous historic centres is a mixture of old and new, and lacks a bit of charm as a result. The towns historical sites are a little far apart, walkable, but given it was 35 degrees plus the week we stayed seemed a little too far on occasions. Overall we really enjoyed the castle and would highly recommend it.

Prato della Valle

Mentioned on 
+104 other lists 
Park
Sights & Landmarks
Prato della Valle in Padua is a grand public square with a central island encircled by an elliptical canal called the Alicorn, adorned with over 70 statues of notable figures. Commissioned in the 18th century, it serves as a venue for various events, fairs, concerts, and markets. This bustling square is frequented by students, artists seeking inspiration, and fitness enthusiasts who utilize the surrounding 'asphalt ribbon' for running and skating.
Prato della Valle is a beautiful and lively piazza, it’s a huge open space. The elliptical canal with its ring of statues is very unique — walking around feels like being in an open-air museum. On market days the square is buzzing with stalls, it’s a also beautiful place to stroll, sit under the trees, or just take in the atmosphere. I loved the night atmosphere, stunning lights and beautiful views. It’s also a great spot to start or end a walk through Padua, since it connects easily to the Basilica of St. Anthony and the historic center.
Thilo B — Google review
This is a lovely piazza to visit with many sculptures surrounding the water and grass area, however there isn't much else to do unless you visit on a market day. We caught the stall holders clearing away on the Saturday evening, so there was a lot of plastic mess around the piazza but it was all clean by the Sunday. You can walk the length of Via Roma towards the Prato delta Valle and also visit the Botanic Gardens and Basilica. If approaching from Via Roma, there is a supermarket on the opposite side of the piazza.

So many statues, and the four bridges! The main square is huge. The basilica is well worth seeing, as is the church to the N (1 block) of the park. FYI, there are some cute 'tourist trap' places along that street for souvenirs!!

Prato della Valle is a huge square where in summer you can feel like a cutlet on a Teflon frying pan. The place is certainly impressive in size and number of statues, but the sun is so generous here that the only shadow is your own. Yes, it is beautiful, spacious, but it is better to come either at dawn or after sunset, otherwise the walk turns into an express version of an open-air sauna.
Vadim S — Google review
One of the largest squares in Italy and home to over 70 statues from important names in the history of the city. However, I do feel that the place is a bit overrated for tourism. The square (and the water) is a bit dirty, a lot of concrete, and there are no signs or plaques with explanations about the statues.
Guilherme C — Google review
Great central circle with lots of historical significance which doubles as a park. It made for a great starting location to navigate the city.
Mark W — Google review
It was our first stop for the day which might have been a mistake as a tourist. It was nice seeing the local vendors but they were selling produce and since we were traveling, we could not take advantage of their products. I believe it would be different at night when the street vendors are serving food. It would be an excellent place for live music as well. As for the area itself. There is a lot of green space surrounded by water with bridges to cross the water. There are many statues to look at and it was very peaceful when we were there. If I were to return, I would definitely do the evening visit.

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
The Basilica of St. Anthony is a magnificent Catholic church with Byzantine-style domes and notable artworks, including relics of St. Anthony. Constructed in Gothic style shortly after the saint's death in 1232, it attracts pilgrims from around the world who come to pay homage to the revered friar. The interior is a labyrinth of chapels and corridors housing masterpieces such as Donatello's reliefs on the high altar and expressive sculptural narratives of St.
We took a day trip to Padova from Ferrara. We decided to take it easy just wander round the town looking at the architecture eating and drinking etc! The one place we did actually visit was the Basilica of St Anthony and it was stunning. It's hard to describe in words the majesty of the church. It is one of the most stunning churches I have visited. Was rather amused at them charging for the toilet! Definitely worth a visit.

No tickets required, but dress appropriately! If you have too much skin showing, they will provide covering to wear for 1 Euro. I was very impressed by that, so no one would be turned away! You can wear shorts and short sleeve shirts for comfort in the heat...just not too short. This magnificent place is a must-see!

The Basilica of St. Anthony is truly my place of strength. Every time I come here, I feel a powerful energy that surrounds and uplifts me. The atmosphere is so unique and deeply spiritual that it’s impossible to leave without feeling renewed and inspired. A must-visit for anyone who wants to experience something beyond the ordinary.
Tatiana — Google review
The exterior is a melange of architectural styles, fairly plain brickwork but with Byzantine minarets and domes reminiscent of the Hagia Sophia of Istanbul. Internally it is pure Gothic with wonderful sculptures and artwork. The scale is vast and the ceilings almost disappear into the distance, many covered by netting to catch falling debris. This is a site of pilgrimage for followers of Saint Anthony and there was a line to enter the chapels containing his relics. The lighting is very dim so the architecture is not shown to best advantage but nevertheless the effect is inspiring.
Herm D — Google review
It was a great blessing and goosebumping experience to have a dharhsan at St. Antony's basilica at Padova. One could feel the positive divine vibration the moment enters into the Basilica. Indeed, we spent more time in the Basilica in prayer and meditation. St. Antony of Padova is the patron saint for lost objects. St. Antony of Padova is widely celebrated saint in South India. We had a opportunity to pray at his cemetery, tonsee his unperished tounge and jaw. His incorruptible relic is housed in this basilica.

Due to our ancestral devotion to St. Anthony, my wife and I made a point to visit Padua, and the cathedral here is truly mesmerizing. Having visited Lisbon as well, we were particularly struck by the abundance of St. Anthony’s relics housed in this beautiful church. You will find St Anthony's pillow stone, uncorrupted tongue of St Anthony, Jaw bone with teeth, vocal apparatus, skin from head, cassock, St Anthony's finger, hair. Plus relics of other saints and items from cross on which Jesus died
John C — Google review
One of the most magnificent basilicas you will ever see. Its fame rests not only on its architectural beauty but also on the spiritual aura that resides within the basilica. It houses the mortal remains of St Antony of Padua. It also has the relics of more than a dozen other saints including St Pope John Paul II. Catholics from all over the world flock to the Basilica throughout the year. One thing that catches our eyes is the altar that has all the relics.

Scrovegni Chapel

Chapel
Sights & Landmarks
The Scrovegni Chapel, also known as the Arena Chapel, is a must-see attraction in Padua. Commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni in the early 14th century, this chapel is adorned with vibrant frescoes painted by Giotto di Bondone between 1303 and 1305. The chapel's rich history and stunning artwork make it an essential stop for art enthusiasts. Additionally, visitors can explore the nearby gardens and museum for a comprehensive experience.
I was lucky enough to simply drop by on a Sunday evening and get tickets right away (don't do that, try to book in advance online). This was my favourite experience in Padova, easily!!! Just check the pictures, the paintings, the history of this place...this is magical!
Guilherme C — Google review
Ever since I read Gombrich’s The Story of Art years ago, I had dreamed of visiting this place. Undoubtedly the highlight of our trip to Italy! Impeccably preserved, with lighting at the base that showcases the frescoes in the chapel in the best possible way. Giotto, in the 1300s, is a landmark figure pinned on the grand tapestry of art history, undeniably a medieval genius and at the same time the starting point of the Renaissance. He was among the first to bring architectural frames, outdoor scenery, shadowing, expressions, and natural gestures into his figures. Giotto’s innovations in spatial depth and emotional realism paved the way for Masaccio, and eventually for Da Vinci, Michelangelo and the High Renaissance. What makes the experience even more fascinating is its story: the chapel was commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni as an act of penance for his family’s sins of usury. The only real pity is that each visit is limited to just 15 minutes. Honestly, it feels far too short, so we couldn’t help but want to buy another ticket just to experience it all over again.
郭嘉欣 — Google review
What an amazing place and fascinating history. Regardless of whether you are religious or not. The incredible creativity of a man in the 1300's has to be witnessed. The human emotions that have been depicted throughout the chapel are amazing. Highly recommend a visit to this well organised historic site.

The chapel itself was astonishing and breathtaking. There was a short video in air-conditioned room before entering, which provided general info. - Unfortunately, there was not enough time to patiently savour the frescoes, we were rushed out, so I was very dissappointed:( *I know there are many people coming to visit, but I would strongly consider prolonging the visiting time.

Absolute riot of fresco that are staggeringly numerous, detailed and beautiful. Entry strictly controlled and 15 minutes only, so try booking 2 consecutive slots to do this place justice.
David D — Google review
Thank God, they haven't covered the original paintings and original walls. Since this is not the active chapel, we can feel the real archeological smell. Visitors are allowed inside onkybfor 15 min. There is an automatic door system to ensure the interiors are protected from environmental damage to the original paintings. Surprised to know that it was a private chapel of a wealthy citizen lived in Padova. His name was. Enrico Scrovegni. Like Dante's hell , this Chapel has Giotto 's hell. Interesting to know that there is a pope (rebelled )in the hell. The paintings are worth watching.

Villa la Rotonda

Villa
Sights & Landmarks
Villa la Rotonda is a 16th-century hilltop villa designed by Andrea Palladio, known for hosting cultural and corporate events. It is featured in the Four Books of Architecture as a suburban residence with service rooms in the basement and a grand circular hall on the main floor. The surrounding romantic park offers stunning views of the cultivated land.
Worth a visit especially for architecture students or Americans if you’ve been to Monticello in Virginia. It’s a monument to Palladium design. We walked from Vicenza to a Villa nearby and found a walkway from the Villa Valmarana ai Nani to La Rotunda that was very pretty, much nicer than the roadway we followed to return to Vicenza. They offer a tour only in Italian which we skipped. The docent lectured tour members, had them sitting out on the lawn looking at the facade the entire time we surveyed the villa and its surrounds.

This beautiful house on the hill... Villa La Rotonda Villa La Rotonda, designed by the Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio in the 16th century, is a masterpiece of classical symmetry and proportion. Located near Vicenza, Italy, the villa is famed for its harmonious design, with a perfectly square layout and four identical facades, each with a projecting portico. The central dome, inspired by the Pantheon in Rome, adds a sense of grandeur and spiritual balance. The interior features elegant frescoes and carefully planned spaces that reflect Palladio’s belief in architecture as a reflection of order and reason. Surrounded by gently rolling hills, the setting enhances its serene and monumental presence. More than just a villa, La Rotonda represents a turning point in architectural history—blending classical ideals with Renaissance humanism. It continues to influence architects around the world, making it a must-see for lovers of art, design, and cultural heritage.

The Villa is outstanding but I don’t know who manages the team!? I never have seen so much arrogance and agressivity from the staff (mainly male), starting from the parking gardener to the guys in charge of the Villa. This marvellous place would deserve polite and professional behaviour
Antoine B — Google review
Architectural masterpiece, one of the great private villas by Palladio. Easily reachable from the city centre as there is a walkway and bicycle path. Check the opening times in beforehand as this is private property owned by the same family that originally built it. Luckily public is let to see the building still. The guides were very helpful. The cafeteria down on the park level serves excellent local wines and small snacks.

Amazing Palladian architecture, particularly on the outside. Very helpful staff who are willing to explain if you ask. Inside is a bit of a surprise as it is frescoed. Fair enough it is a family home now but I was expecting it to be as Palladio had initially designed it to be - plain. Only open on certain days and at certain times so check before you go. Parking is nearby (pay and display) but limited. Get there early to find a space. A full visit took about an hour, so not long. I recommend going to the Andrea Palladian museum in Vicenza before you see La Rotunda to get a deeper insight. Inside

Beautiful Palladian villa near Vicenza. Wonderful architecture and stunning frescos. The romantic garden it’s beautiful too during flower blossom. Recommended.

Of all Palladio Villas probably the most famous but staff the least friendly and welcoming in contrast to other sites around Vicenza. Grand building, very beautifully renovated, garden/Park well maintained & impressive. Traffic could be handled better: maybe have one way? And a side walk for pedestrians? Or organize parking differently?

(Translated by Google) Small museum run by the Alpine troops inside the bar on the famous Bassano bridge. Small museum but very well kept and with some truly goosebump-inducing objects, the exhibit that struck me the most is the helmet with the bullet hole and still with traces of blood and brain matter, perhaps it is macabre but it reminds us that millions of people died. Thank you for what you do, places like this shout out loud "DON'T FORGET" especially to the new generations (Original) Piccolo museo gestito dagli alpini all'interno del bar sul famoso ponte di Bassano. Piccolo museo ma molto ben tenuto e con alcuni oggetti veramente da pelle d'oca, il reperto che più mi ha colpito è l'elmetto con il foro di proiettile e ancora con tracce di sangue e materia cerebrale, forse è macabro ma ci ricorda che milioni di persone sono morte.

Amazing place to see especially on a sunny day. We were there with our 7m campervan on a Sunday morning around 9am and there were plenty of parking spaces but got busy rather quickly. You need to pay in the ticket machine before passing through the exit gate. Campers pay 9 eur for 3 hrs which is plenty time to see the sights, get some footage and have a meal as well.

It is a small lake surrounded by pine forests and the Dolomites mountains, offering breathtaking scenery. The water is crystal clear with an emerald-green color, reflecting the mountains and the sky. Easy to reach with no difficult roads. Parking is available at €3 per hour (Oct 2025), and payment must be made in advance at the ticket machine. The area also has convenient facilities such as shops and restaurants, though not very large. Perfect for a short stop to take photos and enjoy a peaceful walk. The atmosphere is calm, cool, and truly romantic.

We visited Lago di Carezza, one of the most beautiful lakes in the Dolomites. The water shines in shades of green and reflects the forest and mountains around it, giving the place a magical feel. Parking is easy and costs €6 for 1-2 hours, which is fair for such a stunning spot. A calm and lovely stop, well worth visiting if you’re in the area.
Ryan A — Google review
A beautiful little alpine lake with stunning turquoise water and breathtaking mountain views in the background. It’s an easy hike, you can walk around it in about 1 hour. Unfortunately, it’s quite a popular tourist spot, so unless you arrive early in the morning, it can get very crowded. Luckily, most visitors tend to stay near the starting point to take photos, so the rest of the trail around the lake is much quieter and more peaceful.
Hajnalka B — Google review
Simply breathtaking! An easy walk around the lake with stunning views and mind-blowing colors. You can drive there (paid parking), and while the lake was shallow, the reflections of the clouds made it absolutely worth the visit!

It is of rare beauty, once you get there you will want to come back every year. The focal point is Ortisei, an earthly paradise. From Ortisei you can take the cable car and go up to a place where you can see all the mountain peaks in the area, it is something special. The languages ​​spoken in the area are German and less Italian, but you can also manage with English. The food is very good as a result of the combination of the above.

Val Gardena for ski is in my top3 in Europe (been to 5 resorts in Dolomites, 3 in Val di Sole, 2 in Austrian Tirol, 3 in Aosta…) - why? You have all the options: long trails like Gardenissima (6km), La Longia (8km acc to my watch), Cir etc. You have shorter runs in Sassolungo part of the resort. You have difficult runs as well as long gentle easy ones. You have everything + one of the most beautiful scenery you can imagine, Sella massif, Sassolungo massif, Seceda, incredible Seceda. Visited few times but always before season in December and no crowds. The only negative- train connecting Seceda part to Sassolungo part is not always reliable. This place every ski person needs to visit at least once ina lifetime

Bodies of Water
Pragser Wildsee, also known as Lake Braies, is a stunning alpine lake nestled in the South Tyrol region of Italy. Surrounded by majestic mountains, its turquoise-green waters create a picturesque reflection. The area offers climbing opportunities and is famous for its appearance in the Italian TV series 'Un passo dal Cielo.' Visitors can enjoy the historic hotel nearby and indulge in dining experiences while taking in the breathtaking views.
Lovely place to visit, beautiful water. Winter time is great to go to avoid large crowds, summer the lake is packed, you can best most of the crowd in the spring/summer months by going very early but shops will not be open.
Alex B — Google review
In my opinion, this is one of the top 3 landscapes to see in Italy. My partner and I walked around the lake, which is 3.8 km long. At times there were quite a lot of people, even forming small queues, but for most of the route we could walk at our own pace. Tip: if the mountain views at the starting point don’t seem that impressive, it’s better to walk around the lake clockwise rather than counterclockwise. This way, the most beautiful part of the scenery will be towards the end of the walk, and your photos will turn out better.
KOTKALLE O — Google review
Nice small lake and good views of the surrounding moutains. But in my opinion nothing out of the ordinary - its just a mountain lake and a very commercialised one. You can rent boats for 45min which will cost 55€ and parking is also 15€. The path around the lake is very crowded as well. I think there are more beautiful and especially more calm lakes in the dolomites that would be worth your time and money.
Joran B — Google review
Lago di Braies is absolutely breathtaking! The crystal-clear turquoise water surrounded by majestic mountains looks like something out of a postcard. It’s the perfect place for a peaceful walk, a boat ride, or just relaxing and taking in the view. Every angle is stunning, especially in the early morning or at sunset. The air feels so fresh and calm—it’s pure magic. A must-see spot in the Dolomites that you’ll never forget!

Best lake in the Dolomites in Italy and a MUST visit. It is also referred to as 'The pearl of the Dolomites'.

It was pretty windy with a slight drizzle when we arrived at 5:30pm. Last boat is at 7pm. There was a slight wait but we didn’t wait too long to get on the lake

Reinbach Waterfalls, located in the Parco Naturale Vedrette di Ries-Aurina in South Tyrol, offer a stunning natural spectacle. The waterfalls are accessible via short hiking trails through a scenic forest, allowing visitors to witness the dramatic cascades of the high-flowing river. The surrounding Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park provides opportunities for holiday activities such as hikes, visits to the visitor center, and tours to the waterfalls.
Very nice, easy hike of 50 mins. You can park in the closest parking for 10 euros, and P3 which is 10 minutes away is for free. We went sunday around 12, and there were still places. There are 3 waterfalls, first one is 20 mins, second another 15 mins and the last around 10 mins.

Waterfalls
Krimml Waterfalls, the tallest waterfall in Europe, cascades 380 meters down a forested mountainside and offers a picturesque walking path. The well-known waterfall trail provides stunning views of the rushing waters as visitors descend on the opposite side of the falls. Along this path, there are viewing balconies offering fantastic vantage points.
Worth visiting, and the entrance fee is not expensive (€9 for adults, half that for children). Although the trail is well maintained, I recommend wearing good sneakers and a waterproof jacket, as you will definitely get wet if you want to see the waterfall up close from the viewing terraces. It’s definitely worth going a few kilometers further to the mountain lodge, where they serve excellent food at reasonable prices.
Ivana V — Google review
The waterfalls were beautiful, but the hike itself is quite challenging, with only steep paths. Along the way there are several viewpoints where you can enjoy stunning views of the falls, but the view from the top was actually a bit disappointing. Reaching the top is more about the feeling of accomplishment than the view itself. It’s a very touristy spot, with several nice souvenir shops to browse.

On our journey from Sell am See to Tirol we took the scenic mountain pass to stop off at Europe’s largest waterfall. Despite being height of summer season we could still easily park and make our way to the falls. The route is well made. No need for walking boots. We didn’t get all the way to the top - we stopped at about half way. Some great photos of the fall and the landscape.

We just wanted to see how beautiful these crystals display. We did not buy anything from them, too bad for them. But the way they arranged their display, even on the way to exit, they enticed visitors with various pricing range to make sure that they would get something from them. Nevertheless, it's still worth a visit to see various crystals, such ones in marvel movies, Donald Duck etc. The display at ground floor (first enter) is €€€ above but the ones at 2nd floor is more affordable and attractive.

The staff were so nice! I bought a ring yesterday but realised it was too big once i cut off the rubber that tied it to the packaging. So i headed in to exchange my ring today. The exchange process was really easy and the staff were happy to help. I went in with my ring in M size, the original packaging and the receipt. And i tried on the S size ring with the help of a staff. Then i just brought the S size ring to the cashier and explained the need for a change in size. The exchange was super quick, took less than 10 mins altogether! Really thankful for the experienced staff and the helpful service!

Neues Schloss Herrenchiemsee

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Neues Schloss Herrenchiemsee, located on the Herreninsel in Chiemsee, was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria and modeled after Versailles. The palace, which began construction in 1878, is a grand homage to absolutist monarchy. Despite being intended as a residence for the king, he spent only 10 days there and was rarely seen. The palace's design reflects Ludwig's romantic obsessions and vivid imagination.
Absolutely stunning Castle built by King Ludwig II located on a beautiful island in Bavaria. The palace tour we took was amazing. Our tour was in English and our guide was terrific. Extremely knowledgeable on the history of the castle. She was very friendly and spoke perfect English. The castle rooms were spectacular. The two bedrooms are out of this world in terms of its decor. It is amazing that 2/3 of this castle are still not completed. King Ludwig barely stayed here before he died. The castle grounds are perfectly manicured. Several beautiful fountains. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the outdoors. The walk around the grounds was very peaceful. We took the train from the main train station and the boat across to the castle. We had a perfect day out and loved our visit. Highly recommend visiting this majestic castle.

Magnificent, and rich interiors. If the king hadn't lived in his dream project for more than a handful days, so does it not deserve to be visited more than once in my life time. Palace guided Tour is about 40 minutes. No photography allowed strictly! This is what I didn't like the most. It's worth the hype and not worth the hype at the same time. Museum is also interesting visit

You have to buy entry Ticket to see the interior Palace with a guide. Taking picture inside of d palace it's not allowed, just outside it's possible. You have to pay extra when u need to go to the 🚻 & it was not cheap!
Rosa S — Google review
This is a really pretty palace and a great history lesson for people who don’t know much about kind Ludwig II. The palace itself is whacky and lavish and the gardens, fountains, and exterior are beautiful and scenic. The island has some great walking paths and is a fun outing. The boat there and back also has pretty views and runs fairly consistently. Keep in mind that the price of the boat and the palace entrance/tour are a separate price, the palace ticket does give you access to quite a bit though. The only reason it’s a 4 star review is that you can’t take pictures inside the palace which is a little disappointing but not a huge deal. Overall this is a great stop but does take some time.

It's a vast general museum, encompassing everything not covered in the art and antique museums. Currently half of it is under renovation, but the open part is big enough to keep you busy for a long time. I focused mainly on the air and space aspect, nice collection of vintage and more modern planes, some of the very first rockets including a V2, and a very nice floor on spaceships. I also enjoyed the section on coding. I checked out photography, printing and musical instruments before my time ran out. It was a solid 3 hours. Overall it is good, not necessarily a must-see if you are first time visitor to Munich pressed on time.

A wonderful place to visit with children. The museum offers a great experience, and the restaurant–café on the roof is definitely worth a stop.

The Deutsches Museum in Munich is an absolute gem for science and technology enthusiasts, offering an unparalleled hands-on learning experience. With its vast collection spanning aviation, engineering, physics, and even music instruments, the museum brilliantly bridges education and entertainment. The interactive exhibits—like the giant pendulum, working machinery demonstrations, and flight simulators—make complex concepts accessible and fun for visitors of all ages. The detailed historical displays, including early automobiles and replicas of famous scientific experiments, provide fascinating insights into humanity's technological progress. While the sheer size of the museum can be overwhelming, its well-organized sections and engaging presentations ensure an enriching visit. Whether you're a curious traveler or a dedicated science buff, the Deutsches Museum delivers both knowledge and inspiration in a truly immersive way.

Deutsches Museum is not just an exhibit hall: it is a journey through how human curiosity, experimentation, and engineering have shaped the world. If you love science or tech—or want to challenge yourself to understand how many things work (from steam engines to quantum bits), this museum will reward you. Even if you’re only casually interested, the famous pieces (Z3, mining, astronomy, transport, etc.) are enough to make a visit memorable. Highly recommend it, and plan your time well. Bonus: Every Monday few free tickets are also offered. Don't forget to see the beautiful skyline of city with Isar river.

A Must-See Spot in Munich! Marienplatz is such a lively and beautiful place — truly the heart of Munich! We loved walking through the square, surrounded by amazing old buildings, shops, and cafés. The highlight was definitely the Glockenspiel at the New Town Hall — the music, the moving figures, and the whole crowd watching together make it feel so special. It’s the perfect spot to sit back, people-watch, and take in the atmosphere. Everything in Munich seems to connect here — the energy, the history, and the charm of the city all in one place. If you’re visiting Munich, don’t miss Marienplatz, especially around noon when the Glockenspiel comes to life, arrive 15 minutes early to find the best spot.

The city center of Munich is an absolutely stunning and lively area centered around the famed Marienplatz. Dominated by the magnificent Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall), a Neo-Gothic architectural gem, the square's highlight is the famous Glockenspiel, which draws crowds daily to watch its mechanical figures perform. The area is a fantastic blend of history and modern life, with the towering Frauenkirche (Cathedral) just a short walk away, alongside the bustling Viktualienmarkt and the start of the main pedestrian shopping zones (like Kaufingerstraße). Whether you're sightseeing at the Residenz, shopping for luxury goods, or simply soaking up the authentic Bavarian atmosphere at a nearby Wirtshaus, the city center serves as the perfect, walkable hub for exploring all that Munich has to offer.

The English Garden in autumn is absolutely stunning. The trees turn golden, red, and orange, creating a beautiful contrast with the rivers and meadows. It’s perfect for peaceful walks, cycling, or just relaxing under the colorful leaves. The atmosphere feels calm and magical — a must-visit spot to experience Munich’s fall beauty.

The Heart of Nature in Munich 🌿 The English Garden is absolutely breathtaking — a perfect blend of peace, beauty, and city life. You can stroll along the rivers, watch surfers at the Eisbach, or simply relax under the trees and enjoy the calm atmosphere. It’s clean, green, and full of life — families, couples, and friends all enjoying the day together. Whether for a picnic, a bike ride, or just a quiet moment by the lake, the English Garden is truly one of Munich’s most magical places. ✨🌳

This is, without a doubt, the best place in Munich. It's a massive, beautiful urban park that feels like a world away from the city. You could easily spend an entire day here relaxing, walking, or watching the surfers.
Nika K — Google review
A must see if you're in Munich. Absolutely an amazing park with lots to see and do there. Playgrounds for kids, lot's of places to get something to eat and drink. Plus a couple of places to surf, yes you read correctly surf. The river is very clean and as you can see in the photos, very popular with surfer's and fun to watch for non surfers. A true gem of a park in Munich. Oh this park is huge it'll take a few hours to take it all in.

Great experience. So they have a combination of a Car showroom and the Museum. The Museum is divided into Rooms with numbers marked and different categories of cars and bikes. The entire power train portion has very nice engines to see from Aircrafts to marine, etc. m Must Visit

So, if you like cars its a must stop in München, I would highly recommend you to buy your tickets before arriving, it can get a bit full if you dont plan in advanced, the Museum has free lockers so its also a big benefit. Also in the museum is card only ( weird for being Germany) but a great thing to know. Theres different types of tours available and also shops. In the other side of the museum ( crossing the bridge) theres BMW Welt which is also nice and free

The collection of classic and modern vehicles is stunning, and the displays are well-curated. A must-visit for car enthusiasts and anyone interested in automotive history!

Well laid out and easy to navigate the museum. I bought tickets on my phone as i walked up to the building but there are also koisks inside. There are free lockers for small/medium bags and a jacket. There is a small Cafe with sandwiches, salad, pizza, drinks and coffee. If your thing is cars, motorcycles, airplanes, motors or just BMW in general this is a must see.

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
St. Peter Cathedral, a magnificent example of High Gothic architecture, stands proudly in the heart of Regensburg, dominating the skyline with its impressive bell towers. Originally constructed around 700 and later rebuilt in 1273 after a fire, this stunning cathedral is not only an architectural marvel but also home to the renowned Regensburger Domspatzen choir.
Amazing place to Visit. Such an incredible architectural work. But if you need to go inside, you have to see their religious activities time. Because at that time doors were closed to the visitors.every thing was fine and tremendous work and were well maintained to the future generation.
Kasun A — Google review
St. Peter’s Cathedral is absolutely breathtaking. The Gothic architecture is stunning, with soaring spires, intricate stonework, and beautiful stained glass windows that create a peaceful, awe-inspiring atmosphere inside. It’s hard not to be impressed by the history and craftsmanship. Even if you’re not typically into churches, this one is worth the stop. It’s right in the heart of Regensburg, so very easy to visit while exploring the old town. Highly recommend taking a few quiet moments inside—truly a highlight of the city.
Todd R — Google review
Massive pure Gernan gothic church that was built from the end of the 13th to the beginning of the 16th century using the architecture of French cathedrals as an example. The inside is dark and has beautiful details like the silver altar. The stained glass windows from the 13th and 14th century are impressive and the most extensive, still preserved, collection of medieval stained glass in the German-speaking world. An interesting detail was a large waterwell with a hoist and bucket inside the church which was used as a secure source of water for the clergy, cathedral staff and cleaning.
Seimen B — Google review
The cathedral is truly impressive! A magnificent structure that’s hundreds of years old. I can’t even say whether I liked it more from the outside or the inside. Every day in summer, the organ plays at noon, it’s absolutely amazing! An architectural masterpiece that definitely deserves attention. The only downside is that the exterior has been under renovation for many years.
Boltomatis — Google review
Learned so much about German history from our Viking excursion to Regensburg Cathedral. Stepping into this medieval masterpiece, we were instantly awed by its towering Gothic architecture and the sheer scale of the place. The amazing stained glass windows, glowing with centuries-old craftsmanship, were absolutely breathtaking. Our guide wove fascinating tales about the cathedral’s medieval sculptures and its historical significance as a key center of Christianity in Europe, making the past feel alive and vibrant. The world’s largest hanging organ was a true marvel, suspended like something out of a dream, and its presence added to the cathedral’s awe-inspiring atmosphere. Learning about the Regensburg bishopric’s influence gave us a deeper appreciation for the city’s role in shaping European history. This cathedral is a must-see for anyone visiting Regensburg—its beauty and stories will leave you speechless. Highly recommend making time for this incredible landmark!

Great experience. Today was the 75 anniversary of Caritas and St. Josef Hospital celebrated with bishop Rudolf and former cathedral choir member (Regensburger Domspatzen). Usually the holy mass is starting on Sundays at 10 a.m. Be early enough there to get a place!

Our tour guide told us this cathedral is always under some kinds of construction in one form or another 🤣 While we were here the towers were in repair and there’s a choir outside make Ng beautiful music.

Memorial
Sights & Landmarks
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations is a 91-meter-high memorial in Leipzig, commemorating the 1813 battle where Napoleon was defeated. It features a viewing platform and a history museum. Leipzig offers diverse attractions such as the Leipzig Book Fair, Bach Festival, cultural events, green spaces like the Riverside Forest and botanical gardens, and landmarks including the Bach Museum and St. Nicholas Church.
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations (Völkerschlachtdenkmal) is an absolute must-see in Leipzig. Towering at 91 meters, it commemorates the historic 1813 Battle of Leipzig, one of the largest conflicts in European history, where Napoleon’s army was decisively defeated. This striking monument is not only a symbol of resistance and unity but also a masterpiece of early 20th-century architecture. Surrounded by a tranquil reflecting pool and parkland, the monument offers an awe-inspiring exterior and an equally impressive interior. Visitors can ascend to the top for panoramic views of Leipzig and explore the solemn halls, giant warrior statues, and crypt-like chambers that leave a lasting emotional impact. Its grand scale, peaceful atmosphere, and deep historical significance make it one of the most important landmarks in the city. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or simply a curious traveler, this site offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Clean, well-maintained, and accessible, the Völkerschlachtdenkmal is more than just a monument—it’s a place of memory, reflection, and beauty. If you're visiting Leipzig, this iconic site belongs at the top of your list.
Alazani V — Google review
At the entrance, a welcoming entrance with an airy crypt with heating. On the first floor there was a film that explains the entire history from the origins in the early 1800s to the present day. Viewing is recommended. Then you climb up to the first internal cornice, which is very overhanging. You then climb to the upper floors, and then you reach the first external cornice located under the feet of the statues that can be seen from outside. You can take the elevator up to that level. From there, you climb to the highest part of the building with a very narrow but well-made stone staircase. A visit is recommended to better understand the history of the city. Full adult ticket price €12

Great experience with a rich history. I chose a non audio self tour and would highly recommend this. It's a place of reflection and would rather go undisturbed. The staircase to the top is steep though. Just so you know 😉

If you had only one thing to do in Leipzig, please visit this place. This monument is the tallest in all of Europe and it commemorates the war that broke Napoleon. No tickets required
Paul T — Google review
This intense and impressive monument is a MUST SEE if you are in Leipzig. The scale is stunning and is reminiscent of the Mines of Moria in Lord of the Rings. There are multiple lifts but if you want to get to the top viewing area, you have to use the stairs and it is a little walk. No bad, but most people emerged a little winded and sweaty. The sweeping views of Leipzig are great and, if you go on a sunny day, you can see many miles/kilometers in every direction. Highly recommended.
Chad T — Google review
A really impressive monument. It really makes you feel the enormity of the event being memorialized much like the World War I monument in Kansas City. There was a feeling of heaviness about the monument and it made me feel retrospective. A very nice visit. A stroll through the cemetery nextdoor is also warranted.
Ike I — Google review
the monument to the battle of the nations in leipzig is a massive, seriously impressive monument commemorating napoleon's defeat in the 1813 battle. it's one of europe's largest, and you can climb to the top for panoramic views of leipzig. inside, the huge stone figures are really powerful. it's a bit outside the city center but easily reached by tram and definitely worth a visit for its history and scale

Zoos & Aquariums
Zoo Leipzig is a top destination in Germany, offering an immersive experience for visitors to observe 850 different animal species in habitats that closely resemble their natural environments. From watching elephants swim through an underwater glass wall to encountering black howler monkeys and playful penguins, the zoo provides a diverse range of experiences. Visitors can also explore themed areas such as the tropical Gondwanaland, home to Germany's only Komodo Dragon, and the unique Pongoland featuring various primate species.
Leipzig Zoo is hands down the best zoo I’ve ever been to – just go! The area is massive and beautifully designed, with tons of space to explore. The animals are surprisingly close, and there’s an amazing variety – I saw species I’d never even heard of before. There are plenty of spots to grab food or a drink along the way, which makes the whole visit super chill. The highlight for me was the tropical hall *Gondwanaland* – a huge indoor rainforest with its own climate. It’s seriously impressive and makes the whole experience feel really unique.

This Is the most amazing zoo I've ever been to. It's so big with the kids. We could only see a portion of it, but the jungle experience especially with the boat ride was so cool. All of the exhibits are wonderful. I would highly recommend to anyone to visit the zoo. Easily one of the best zoos in the world.

Leipzig Zoo is one of the best zoos I‘ve ever visited. Large enclosures. Many events throughout the day. Amazing infrastructure (you can find maps, sign posts, and directions for a tour that leads you through the entire zoo everywhere). They also don’t solely focus on the animals as mere entertainment but seek to inform kids in playful ways about preservation/biology/even physics in the aquarium. Leipzig Zoo also provides a variety of restaurants and snack bars that are evenly distributed across the entire Zoo. I wholly recommend visiting, whether alone or with friends and family. It’s an amazing and informative experience!

Best zoo in Germany especially with huge greenhouse of tropical forest and self moving boats along river with warm climate. Highly recommended for both adults and children alike
Rony W — Google review
This zoo park was fantastic. I would recommend this to everyone. There is so much to see and you should have water with you because food and water prices there is too expensive. WC is free which is very good. And I suggest you guys to go early there, zoo opens at 9 am and closes at 7pm. As I mentioned earlier there is lot to see so you probably will need some rest. And one good thing about this zoo park is that you see animals without any borders and it is kind of crazy but it is safe. So enjoy with your trip everyone.

Zoo Leipzig is a great place to visit with kids. The grounds are very clean with almost no smell, and there are nice play and climbing facilities for children. A fun and family-friendly zoo experience!

This zoo is arguably the best in Europe. The animals have the freedom to roam, creating a more natural environment, and plenty of dining options are available. Don’t miss the chance to watch the monkeys and explore Gondwanaland. It's truly a fantastic spot for some quality time with your children.

Sanssouci Park, located east of the city center in Potsdam, is a renowned attraction known for its formal gardens and historical buildings. Built as a summer palace by Prussian King Frederick the Great, it rivals Versailles with its intimate Rococo style and numerous temples and follies in the surrounding park.
A really good trip out around the local area and then to the palace. Its small but impeccably designed with a lot of fine detail. As this was more of a retreat for the king its less grand in scale than other palaces but I really enjoyed visiting it and learning the history.

Spectacular day trip for sure 😃

Beautiful and vast city park with breath taking landscapes and architecture. Great place to spend time with friends or family. It's very huge - it may take hours or days to take every route and explore reach path located in the park. The entrance is free and there's few gates you can get through. Hard to miss if you plan to visit Postdam.

A small, cause it was the summer one, but very beautiful palace. With the ticket of 22 euros you get to visit almost all places in Potsdam. Definitely more worth it to visit in the summer time or at least while everything's still green, since the gardens are a big, important part.

Sanssouci Park is absolutely stunning! Walking through the gardens is a true delight, with so many beautiful spots to explore and photograph. The highlight for me was the Orangerieschloss!

Whether you’re a history lover, architecture fan, Sanssouci Park is an unforgettable experience. Truly 5 stars!
