Amazing wild park with dear, wolf, bosons and other animals you really see. There is no entry and very nice restaurant that serves home made pasta. Amazing hiking trails

It’s the perfect place to come with a family , and spend a good moment, it’s free .. you only pay the parking . So great !

Wonderful, natural animal park. Beautifully laid out, partly in the forest. The entire animal park can be visited via a circular route. The park is well maintained, clean and the information (in German) about the animals and the park is very well presented. A playground next to the restaurant invites children to play. With a bit of luck you will see the wolves.

Free entry. Great for families, groups, singles, couples and everyone who loves nature and animals. The park can be reached by car, bus or various nice walking tracks. Thanks to everyone for maintaining the park. Great work 👍

Look, the Wildpark Bruderhaus is another example where animals are kept behind fences. Yes. But do they have ample space? Seemingly so. Nevertheless, what makes the Wildpark so special for us are different things. 1. It is 14 minutes away from the Winterthur train station by public transport. Talk about cool and smooth. 2. It is basically built into/surrounded by a forest where you can just walk and enjoy being in nature. Again, so close to the train station? How cool. 3. A decent restaurant to get a good bite. We write about it in a separate review more in detail, but also a nice option. 4. Some not-so-commonly seen (and hard-to-see) animals. So, look, for a family outing frankly it's perfect. 5/5

Easy to access with the bus 12 on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. Free entrance. Little hidden gem with wold, lynx, wissent( European buffalo) deer, wildboar, perzewaslki horse, mufflon... There is an awesome playground, restaurant, and barbecue spot. It's nice to stroll around read all the interesting information about the animal or plants or check out the minishort "Windelwanderweg". Right now Sonderausstellung about " Gefährliche Tiere".

Very nice place to spend the day with the family and children. Unfortunately we did not see the lynx this time. The wolf was also capricious, but we go there every time a huge pleasure. The children love the playground and the restaurant is a bit expensive but delicious.

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

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

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

Absolutely amazing experience , with hundreds of experiments and interactive stands over 3 floors, covers all areas of science in a very cool way! You need at least two days to cover it fully including the outdoor experience .

Very fun place to explore but need time is very imformative if we really read and study what is all these. Kids and adult both can have fun. High recommend full day here if you like science. Is very worth it

Very interesting place. Perfect for kids in school age. Easily you can spend complete day or even more discovering different subjects of science.

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

Nestled in the heart of the Black Forest, the Wutach Gorge is an absolute must-visit for any nature enthusiast. My recent trip there left me utterly enchanted, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment you step onto the trails, you're transported into a verdant wonderland. The sheer scale of the gorge is awe-inspiring, with towering cliffs draped in moss and ancient trees. The Wutach River itself is a mesmerizing companion throughout the hike, its crystal-clear waters cascading over rocks and forming serene pools. The sound of the rushing water, combined with rustling leaves and birdsong, creates a symphony of nature that is incredibly calming and invigorating. What truly sets the Wutach Gorge apart is its incredible biodiversity. The air is fresh and clean, filled with the scent of damp earth and wildflowers. It's a place where you feel truly connected to the natural world. The trails are well-maintained and offer options for different fitness levels, though some sections can be quite steep – definitely bring good hiking boots! Every step is rewarded with stunning vistas and new discoveries. Whether you're an avid hiker seeking adventure or just looking for a peaceful stroll, the Wutach Gorge delivers. It's a place that rejuvenates the soul, leaving you feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply appreciative of nature's wonders.

Exceptionally green and pretty. Especially up the other side of the path towards the waterfalls. It is however difficult to get into the gorge from any other direction than the main car park. I got lost and onto some very poor overgrown trails from trying to enter from the west. So definitely enter and exit from the car park to the East.

Hiked it in full, from Achdorf to Kappel. It is nice but not amazing. Not enough of the path is near the river. Some beautiful areas (look for otters!) but also a lot of parts that are not memorable.

Not really the best attraction in Schwarzwald. The trail feels partly unsafe, boring, and directions are pathetic. The trail is highly scattered and difficult to find the most scenic spots. The website "Hochschwarzwald" must provide more and better directions and information. We were misled and drove to a wrong parking spot where directions were really bad. I had to ask around to get to the right spot. There are much better places to visit in Schwarzwald.

It’s so beautiful in there! It’s a short trip so you won’t be spending the whole day. But maybe half a day including the area around is a great activity! Totally worth the admission ticket.

The Wutach River is a great stage for hikes and offers beautiful scenery for the eyes. Make sure to select a hike that follows the river closely to avoid public roads (I dislike asphalt during hikes and if you're not careful you can spend a lot of time on these in this area), this will allow you to make the most of the wonderful flora in the area. Don't forget to dress properly (good hiking shoes of category B at least are especially welcome) and bring enough water, as some of the hikes can be quite challenging.

Woooow what a hike, I did a hike of 5 hours and 17,50km in this area. My feet started to hurt else I would like to see more of this beautiful place. There is just so much to see, up and down on different paths. Where it can be unsafe there are steel fences and ropes. Saw a lot of ravens too and some other animals that you don’t see everyday. We wanted to take a bus at the nearest stop, but remember they do not ride that often so we had to walk our way back to the car. So don’t make the same mistake as me, go take the bus to the end and walk back to the car, instead of walking and take the bus back. Plan your hike. Beside that, what a place.

Beautiful Museum with many interesting watches, included in the black card. but.. It won't suit everyone. As an adult I was very interested but my 13 year old nephew wasn't very engaged. If it was more interactive or if there were cleared English explanations, maybe he would appreciate it more. So, if this place is on your path anyone and it's free for you (with the card) - do come! Otherwise and if you have other places to be, it's ok 😉 As mentioned in other reviews, the staff is indeed very nice and welcoming ☺️

The guided tour was very interesting, much more informative than going around alone would be. The guide showed how the clocks worked, and the concept of time that developed from the Middle Ages, where clocks were out by approximately a minute a day, to today. The need for a constant time within a town, to the railway which brought the need for shared time. Why a cuckoo (cuckcuck)? What about an orchestra clock?

Nice place to visit to see the evolution of clocks in general. It also has a special section about Cockoo clocks. There are some exhibits where we can press a button and get a feel of how the clock used to work. The demonstration of the very old musicals and clocks by the people working there was just amazing. The sun clock outside the museum was surprisingly very accurate to the minute ! You can easily spend a couple of hours here.

A mid size museum where you can see a lot of beautiful clocks, watches (and there were some ugly ones 😏). The service was also very kind. There was a short interactive session about mechanical musical instruments. I recommend for families.

Really interesting museum. Descriptions were mostly in German but the counter lent us a booklet with English descriptions that covers most of the museum. There is also a short demonstration of the musical clocks in German and English which we enjoyed very much. Overall we had a good time and a great place to visit especially so when the weather is not ideal. We spent about 2.5hrs there.

Very interesting museum, covering all the history of clocks, from the sun "clock" to nowadays. Old and new, large and small, you will find a wide variety of clocks.

Amazing collection of exquisite clocks. We bought a lot of souvenirs for gifting. Super happy that we visited. Highly recommended. Town is also beautiful

Hohentwiel Castle: A Majestic Experience with Unforgettable Views Nestled atop a volcanic cone, Hohentwiel Castle offers a truly captivating experience that combines historical grandeur with breathtaking natural beauty. From the moment you arrive, the convenience of free parking sets the stage for an stress-free visit, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the wonders that await. The absolute highlight of Hohentwiel is undoubtedly its great views. As you ascend to the castle ruins, panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscape unfold before your eyes. On a clear day, you can marvel at the shimmering expanse of Lake Constance, the picturesque Hegau region, and even catch glimpses of the distant Alps. These sweeping views provide countless photo opportunities and a profound sense of awe, making the climb entirely worthwhile. Beyond the stunning scenery, the castle grounds are well-maintained and surprisingly accommodating. You'll find bathrooms conveniently located, a welcome amenity that ensures comfort during your exploration. But perhaps one of the most charming and unexpected features of Hohentwiel is the presence of goats roaming around freely. These friendly residents add a unique, whimsical touch to the ancient ruins, delighting visitors of all ages as they graze peacefully amongst the historic stones. Hohentwiel Castle is more than just a historical site; it's an experience for the senses. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or simply seeking a tranquil escape with spectacular backdrops, this magnificent fortress delivers on all fronts.

Perfect place to visit in Singen. If you like walking, I recommend going on foot from the bottom. Climb is not that challenging, you have asphalt almost all the way up. There is also one path trough the forrest. Tickets you can buy only by that museum with a parking lot and that is also last point you can reach by a car. Beautiful view at the top, also some picnic tables and small coffee shop on the entrance area. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely place to visit with awesome views of Singen and the surrounding area. Affordable tickets and they have a really nice free app with a ton of info, 3D map and audio guide in English and German. One of my favorite stops we visited in Germany!

Nice castle and the atmospher really something Wow that you should put on your list to visit. 5 euro per person

Amazing experience...It is really a beautiful place to visit during summer. Students also get discount on entry tickets when ID card is produced.

Really nice place, not super special but worth to visit. We had a great time!

Amazing place in a beautiful area. Nice to walk, enjoy and have 360° view of the surroundings

I had always wanted to visit this tranquil little place, the source of mighty river Danube! It was open for public, no entrance fee whatsoever, it was just a small part of a huge park, you access it from the street with the stairs or small elevator.. the church next door had a terrace overlooking the pond..anyway parking was kind of difficult

Visiting the Source of the Danube was a fascinating experience. It’s very interesting to see where this famous river begins, knowing that it travels over 2,800 km and passes through many Eastern European countries before reaching the Black Sea. The site itself is simple but meaningful, and it’s worth a stop if you enjoy history, geography, or just learning unique facts about Europe.

As a romanian citizen i could say this visit is something special for me. You can find a parking place before the palace starts in front of the school in weekend. Walk 5 min until the top on the. On thw other side is a shop where you can buy souvenirs and ask the nice guy for a map. where can you visit "the other side" where the 2 rievers meet about 15 20 min. A beautiful place to walk in nature

Very interesting. It was raining on the day we visited so difficult to tell that the spring was really springing. No entrance fee which was nice.

Was nice to see where danube starts from. A shame that the lights are not turned on every night. Was hoping to see it lit up but eventually I found out they only turn them on on special occasions.

It's a shame it isn't better maintained. But on zhe whole definitely worth the visit.

Incredible spot and even more spectacular after seeing the Danube running through Central Europe.

The student ticket costs 0.50€ less than the usual adult tickets The waterfalls is absolutely beautiful and you can hike all the way to the top for different views. There are various hiking trails to explore the entire area. Sometimes you'll get to see the endemic red squirrel.

An easy nature trail accessible with asphalt, but its elevation is not easy for those who have difficulty walking or strollers. Relatively reasonable entrance prices. Most of it is shaded and pleasant. The entire trail and the beauty you see in the waterfall of the humpbacked trees are very beautiful and a highly recommended place.

Amazing waterfall. Entry fee - 8€ per adult. Card payment accepted. WC facility is there. Easy and steep paths are there to go to the top of waterfall.

Stunning, the immediate walk to the waterfall is 8 min max. You can walk more at different hiking intensities higher up the waterfall. Great pathways up the trail

The Triberg Waterfalls are really beautiful and worth seeing! The views are amazing, and the walk through the forest feels fresh and peaceful. You can take great photos and enjoy nature all around. However, the entry fee felt a bit high for such a short walk, and the place can get quite crowded, especially on weekends. Parking can also be tricky if you come late. Overall, it’s a lovely place to visit once — great for nature lovers, but be ready for a bit of a crowd and some walking uphill.

The ticket (8€ per adult) also gives you access to a few other museums (so do this one first!). Dog friendly. Pretty waterfall. A bit of a slow and steady hike up to the top. Lots of people with camera tripods capturing the perfect pics.

Visited the waterfalls for free. Get on the path to the Froschbrunnen (Frog Fountain), ignoring all signs saying no path to the waterfalls. Once at the Frog Fountain take the right-most path from it & stay on this as it curves left around the hill & you will eventually see the swarms of tourists down below you on the lower waterfall paths. Take the first available path down to join the path around the waterfalls. You can either exit back the way you came, or go out through the turnstile that the paying tourists come through at the bottom of the waterfalls.

Pretty cute aquarium mostly designed for children, with a sad 46 year old Carp and sea turtle. The natural history exhibits are informative. And you can walk across the Swiss border for a snack along the shore.

Nice place to visit with the kids. It's not the biggest aquarium but nicely put together and interesting. The tanks were nicely decorated as well. Parking was a bit crowded but not very expensive.

Buy tickets before. Too crowded, even though they work with time slots. Very good for small kids, not for adults. The app with animal recognition doesn't work well. It's announced as in German and in English, but only German is available in the app. Bistro is good! All text is only in German!

Disappointing. It is so overpriced for the variety of species you can see there. There is nothing special at all. It’s so small and that I really couldnt believe that was all. Doesn’t make sense to drive if you live far away. And definitely not worth the price you pay. You can visit much better places for this price.

If you are with little kids, it's the perfect place to spent a couple of hours.

perfectly presented aquariums, large variety of species, interesting lecture about penguins, small museum about nature

I had an okay experience at the aquarium. While there were lots of fish to see, I felt bad for the penguins because their space seemed quite small. It was also pretty loud with so many people around, which made it a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it was nice to see the variety of marine life, but I wish the conditions for the animals were better.

Good spot to spend your weekend during summers specially, you can rent a boat, swim, etc.

Wonderful Christmas market

Beautiful view nice restaurants

Beautiful area a must see to appreciate

The ferry ride to Konstanz from Uberling was fun. Beautiful day, lots to see, stops were short and all the food and drink on the boat you could want.

Nice and clean place.

Beautiful old lake port. Interesting way to cope with the change of water level. Lacking a nace cafe to sit and enjoy the view.

Big store with a lot of clocks to choose from, price range from very affordable to very steep. Also very nice staff. It even has a nice little terrass outside to enjoy a coffee while hearing and seeing the small stream below.

House of 1000 Clocks was a great experience from start to finish. The owner handled everything perfectly, from the purchase to the shipping. The package was packed really well and shipped by UPS, and it actually arrived in the U.S. even before we got back home. The clock works like a charm so far, and I couldn’t be more excited about buying it. It feels special knowing we got it from one of the clock-making shops right in the heart of the Black Forest. I’m sure both me and my wife will enjoy this clock for years, and hopefully it’ll last long enough for my kids to enjoy it too. Overall, amazing experience, I highly recommend this place. Big thanks to the management for the fast shipping and for taking such good care of the package.

An amazing cuckoo clock and souvenir shop in Triberg, Germany. The complete collection of clocks is mind blowing to say the least. Price is on the expensive side, for handcrafted clocks in traditional craftsmanship is sure to bore a hole on your purse. The shop caters to small souvenirs for tourists to collectors of rare artefacts. Must visit location in Triberg.

The perfect place to buy cuckoo clock, I will definitely recommend. They have plenty of options to choose from and the staffs are amazing. Very helpful and patience.

If you’re looking for authentic German cuckoo clocks, this is the perfect place! They offer a wide variety— with different makers, sizes, and price points—so there’s truly something for everyone. Walking in can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but the staff are incredibly knowledgeable. Rebecca was especially helpful—she shared interesting details about the history of the clocks, the craftsmanship behind different makers, and how the mechanisms work. While the shop also carries other knickknacks, the cuckoo clocks are definitely the star of the show. Whether you’re shopping on a large or small budget, this place is incredible!

I contacted Customer Service of House of 1000 Clocks by email to get some information on a clock purchased from them in the late 70s, brought back to the U.S. but never used. I did get an auto response saying I would be contacted in 3 to 4 business days. A month went by and nothing, so I reached out again and was emailed a short list of U.S. based clock repair shops? I would have thought that they might have been intrigued by this, a clock of theirs, nearly 50 years old a time capsule. Yeah, think about it, which former employee may have made it in the old "Cold War" days when they were in West Germany. Its a shame there isn't pride in the workplace anymore.

I visited this place Trieburg, Black Forest yesterday and it was the pleasant experience...I enjoyed the clock house having 1000 clocks...also enjoyed the best and tasty black forest cake... amazing experience...one must visit the place...

For a full day, of almost every service you can get, we paid 60 EUR in total. That included, a 3 hours stay in the all the pools and all saunas. As well as 2 big body towels, and finally a 1 hour stay in the salt caves (photos attached). Great experience, great service, highly recommended. A real therapeutic experience

Nice big pools, temperature was great, free parking, excellent and clean facilities. But unhappy staff and way too overcrowded - there seems to be 0 control as to how many people are let in. We were like sardines & chairs were blocked by the towels of people who were IN the pool! Please go check out the Therme in Thonon les Bains, France & you will understand why your massage- Düsen are actually quite unpleasant - the air coming from underneath and so strong is not nice at all. If it was coming from the side / from the walls - that would have been a different story. 3* cos I loved the Salzgrotte, which is amazing!

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

Simply amazing. I will surely come back. Different type of pools, hot and cold water.

READ THIS COMMENT BEFORE YOU GO!!! My wife and I decided to go to this “Therme” after reading online on their website what they are offering and seeing the pictures. After getting there it was NOT at all what they advertised. When I go to a Therme I want to enjoy HOT natural water, NOT high cold chlorine water which I can go to a regular hotel. They actually had the water advertised “1 degree” cooler because of “electric” being expensive. I believe every customer pays for a service and we would rather pay higher or the price they advertise to enjoy and experience something I expect from them. The large pool that said was 34 degrees was not more than 29-30, I went talked to the personnel and he agreed the water is heated and not more than that. Which is when we decided that neither of the pools were hot only barley warm to go get out and talk with the front desk about the situation. After talking with the personnel why the water is so cool with only one pool salted and rest was high in chlorine which was really disappointing and not what “natural Therme” are we asked them to refund us are money and to leave. We only stayed 15 min and paid for a full day, they did not want to give us anything back and kept arguing why the water is so cold because the electricity and they won’t do anything. This is called being “thieves” and showing very poor customer service!!! I would never recommend and quite the contrary tell other NOT to go here. There are SO MANY other beautiful THERME in the area within distance that would offer so much more and actually care about their customers.

Good variety of activities like hot and cold tubs, sauna, mist room, indoor and outdoor connecting pool with massage jets, waterfalls, etc. The changing and showering rooms are pretty standard and clean. Nice Biergarden with good food and bier menu as well as seating and “beach” area. Good cafeteria with seating with umbrellas. The freshwater pool was out of order but seemed vey small.

I was on holiday in germany for two weeks and I visited this pool twice. I would have happily visited more times if it was closer to the town I stayed in. This is a beautiful pool. With the indoor and outdoor areas, jets, lazy river, showers and bubbles, there is plenty to do. I had never been in a salt bath before. The salt water soothed my dry skin. It's like a full-body spa. I usually need to moisturise after showering, but I didn't have to after this. It's so easy to float and relax, especially in the indoor hot pool. I could live there. The food is great too, and reasonably priced. Drinks are a bit expensive, but they always are in germany. I would definitely recommend visiting.

the island is very pretty and has a lot to offer, many different kinds of nature sections and lots of things for kids around/ food places etc but was quite expensive (especially because i didn’t have long to stay which is not an issue of the place) but i could see how it could be kind of worth it as a whole day activity

The island is incredibly beautiful — everything is in bloom and so well maintained! However, we were really disappointed to find out (a bit too late) that the butterfly house has different opening hours from the rest of the park. We arrived just 10 minutes after it closed and sadly missed it. It would be great if the timing was clearer on the map or signs.

One of the most beautiful gardens in Germany. You need at least 4 hours. The entrance fee is approximately 25 euros, but it is worth i

Perfect place for nature and flower lovers. Every season has its own color and the blooming plants. Old trees like Tilia over 100 years old. Beautiful views and walking aleys. Next time, I would bring some lunch and enjoy a picnic.

A truly spectacular island of history and beauty. Definitely worth the journey.

Great place to visit if in Konstanz. Check out the butterfly orangery and see butterflies with clear wings.

I can bet it is the most beautiful places I have visited. For the tulips, instead of visiting Keukenhof, this is a better place. Surrounded by nature, play gyms for kids, animals where kids can even feed the goats was a holistic experience. We went with our 2months old baby and it was quite smooth. There were ramps everywhere. Accessibility was not a challenge. The tulips were beautiful. There were other flower exhibitions as well indoors. A must visit for everyone!!!!! The connectivity via ships is also very smooth and timely. We went from Meersberg to Mainau.

The castle is really interesting, not too big, with a good atmosphere. There's an audio guide available by a qr code. The views are impressive, and the Bodensee is just magnificent. We were there on Monday, in April. Not too crowded. It's definitely worth visiting if you are interested in historical places.

old medieval castle and the old seat of prince-Bishops. you take the tour and follow the numbers on the wall and you travel in time between multiple stages. you enjoy the sea view and the medieval music. interesting.

It’s really nice to visit a nice museum with long history back to the 10th century. The route is well designed with nice view in the garden. Recommend!

Set aside a morning or afternoon to visit as this place is huge. Using your phone you can access verbal information about the different rooms and history of the castle. Fascinating. The gardens are beautiful and there is a Cafe with indoor and outdoor seating thats not to be missed.

The family thoroughly enjoyed the castle. It is like time traveling back to the medieval times. The boys liked all the weapons. It’s well worth the admission cost.

Burg Meersburg is considered the oldest inhabited castle in Germany and stands as one of the main attractions on Lake Constance. The fortress offers visitors a glimpse into medieval life with its halls, chambers, and historical exhibits. From its towers and terraces, there are also striking views over the lake and the old town below, making it a rewarding stop for history enthusiasts and travelers alike

Meersburg Old Castle (Altes Schloss) is one of the most authentic and atmospheric castles I’ve ever visited. Perched above the charming town of Meersburg, it offers incredible views over Lake Constance and even the Swiss Alps on clear days. The self-guided tour takes you through 30+ fully furnished rooms — including dungeons, knight’s halls, the old kitchen, armory, and the personal quarters of German poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff. The experience feels raw and genuine — unlike many overly restored castles. The castle’s narrow staircases, wooden beams, and thick stone walls transport you right back to medieval times. Informational signs and brochures (in several languages) are helpful, and you can take your time exploring. It’s a short but steep walk through Meersburg’s old town to get there, but it’s worth every step. There’s a cozy café and a small gift shop inside. Not ideal for wheelchairs or strollers due to the structure, but manageable for most. Tickets are around €14, and great value considering the experience. You can also get combo tickets for nearby attractions. Highly recommended for history lovers, families, and anyone wanting to explore a real medieval castle with breathtaking lake views! I just visited last month it was an amazing experience the castle.. it's feel Like in walking in a history hollywood film

Great place to see how people lived and worked in previous years. I enjoyed seeing building construction, live demonstrations, and local animals. It was amazing how hard people worked just to live and possibly use extra products for sale and income. There is a nice relaxing restaurant in the entrance area with tasty food and drinks, served by excellent friendly staff. Plenty of parking. This facility is appropriate for adults, kids, and groups. This is a large, hilly facility but with nice views. If you have a few hours, this is a good experience.

A fascinating look at rural life in the Black Forest. A huge area with a number of farmhouses, all set up with very interesting displays and information boards, with German, French and English versions. Amazing to walk through farmhouses built in the 1500's and get a real sense of what it would have been like to live and work here hundreds of years ago. We spent 4 hours and could have spent much longer.

Loads to find out about from Farmhouses in use since the C17th, through to places last used in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Spent about 4.5hrs wandering around on a changeable day of weather. Excellent wine, especially the young wine. Superb restaurant food. I had the Pumpkin soup, which was really good.

This open air museum is like stepping back in time! It's a large museum located in the Black Forest where you can wander around freely to see how they used to live in the region during different eras. You can enter each building and see inside homes. It is like stepping inside someone's house which is very unusual! I really like how they made it so real. It's fascinating! Everything is translated in French, English and Spanish I think. So you can learn more about how they used to live and the history of the region. There's also some animals around the museum like bunnies, cows, donkeys or chickens. Some of them could use a bigger space though like the bunnies and the cows. But other than that, it seems they're taking a good care of them which is important.

Beautiful setting with many historic buildings and traditional furnishings. The demonstration of bobbing lacing and shoe making were very informative.

Interesting historical displays in original farm houses from around the Black Forest. I particularly enjoyed meeting the pigs and sampling traditionally brewed schnapps.

The museum contains historic buildings in their original locations and relocated from their original sites. The learning experience was engaging as we walked through the simulated environments and imagined life in the time period. Exhibit captions in multiple languages provided insights and details into the design and use of the buildings. I wanted to spend more time reviewing the museum exhibits.

Quite large and interesting tower. Large structure with a beautiful view, it could help if there was a coffee shop or similar at the top but there's only the view. Recommended if you are nearby

Amazing views and smooth experience! The TK Elevator Testturm offers incredible panoramic views of Rottweil and the surrounding countryside. The wait times were short, and the elevator ride itself was impressive and fast. Not much of a gift shop, but you can buy magnets and mugs right at the ticket counter. Definitely worth a stop if you’re nearby! 🇩🇪

While this building is a surprise while in the area, it is worth a visit, even with not so nice weather. Amazing views, a short film about the construction and the testing capabilities. The elevator goes up within 30 seconds reaching up to 65 km/h.

An interesting place to visit. We have passed the tower many times driving by, but this time we stopped. Driving off the Autobahn, going up and back to the road takes around an hour. Nothing special about it, except the lift technology, from 200+m above, there is a nice view. 4 stars for the expensive ticket price.

Worth a visit, pity no cafe there. Also view from the top is dependent on weather. We enjoyed it even though visibility was poor

100% must visit it has some great view of the town and I would recommend watching the video so that you can experience the cool tech

The tower is impressive and the lift even better. You have an incredible view of the surroundings- with the help of the little map you receive. Only downside is that there is no service (bar or vending machine) on top. That would have been the best.

A special place to visit to see all the bears, wolves, and other rescued animals. The bears were out and about, but all the other animals were in hiding. The place has a nice cafe/restaurant at the entrance. It's worth the drive if you love bears (animals).

Wonderfully managed and do fulfil a great purpose - bears, wolves and lynx rescued from zoos, circus and private ownership, and allowing them to live cared for in a natural habit. Not a huge site, and won't take more than 1-2 hours to look around it all, but still worth a visit to see their great work.

We visited on a weekend arrived not long after opening and got straight in paid with card on arrival. It is not very well signposted of their os a particular route to take around the park and it seemed some enclosures were under maintanence. The welfare of the animals seemed good and they have space to remain hidden so will not always be possible to see them. A nice place for a walk around onsite cafe is reasonable for snacks. Organic options is good too.

A park for bears, wolves and lynxes rescued from despicable circumstances. Thus, do not expect the typical feed-till-they drop wild animal park here, but large areas for animals that can hide well from visitors and the expectation of absolute silence from visitors. Smoking is also prohibited, which makes the visit much much pleasurable.

a very beautiful park with bears, wolves and lynx. the animals have a lot of space and cover, but it's still possible to see them from the path. signs along the route give you information about each individual animal. when you're in the area, go take a look!

Beautiful area with beauituful view and nature!! Seeing the bears and wolfs was really incredible coming from a person who never seen them up front or in real life before, was delightful to light up my world with new animals, and seeing how they live get fed, being good taken care of 💕 and rescued from dangerous places! Loves meeting them all along with taking beautiful pictures along the way! The bear restaurant has nice ice cream too!

Outstanding environment, very peaceful and a beautiful setting for these incredible animals. Well done to all

Good hike up the hill - steep! Paths are well done. Viewpoint at the top. The lake itself is tiny, takes less than 5 mins to walk around. Shops/restaurant quite expensive for the quality. Bit of a tourist trap.

Easily accessed in May, via great roads. Watch the corners. Has a restaurant, a shop and a short walk around a little lake. You can boat on it. It's a stopover for an hour or 2, great views.

The place to be for an amazing and beautiful view. You will keep it in your heart forever ♥️ …amazing food, delicious breakfast buffet, clean and comfy rooms, kind people, the BEST “Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte” aka. Blackforest cake. Enjoy 💋

Beautiful place to stop and enjoy a break. Woodland and lake walks plus restaurant and various shops. The walks are great. Everything in the shops looks top notch but is a complete tourist trap with high prices. However, if you see something you like, you probably won't be disappointed with the quality.

One of a kind experience. Reached on a drizzly afternoon. Small pathway to walk around the lake. Grab a cake from shop nearby and find a cabin to enjoy the view.

A small lake in the mountains with a hotel and gift shop where you can get Black Forest ham, cake and original hand crafted cuckoo clocks.

If you’re around Black Forest, Mummelsee is a must. It’s eerie yet romantic — felt like a scene straight out of Raaz. Walk around the lake, find the mermaid statue at the far end, and soak in the legend. Had the original Black Forest cake there — totally worth it. Picked up some cute cuckoo clock souvenirs too. Loved the vibe. Would go again.

Visiting Hohenzollern Castle was one of those experiences that really stays with you. As we made our way up and started walking around the outdoor observation areas, the view simply took my breath away. The valley stretches out endlessly, and from the castle walls it feels like you’re standing above the world. It’s the kind of view that makes you stop, breathe, and just take it all in. The castle itself is just as impressive as the scenery. It stands tall and majestic, with an atmosphere that carries centuries of history. Walking through it, you can almost feel the presence of the people who once lived there and the important role this place played. Every hallway and corner has a story, and when you step back outside to those sweeping views, it all ties together beautifully. I’ve seen a number of castles in Germany — each with their own charm — but Hohenzollern stood out in a way that felt different. It wasn’t just about the architecture or the history alone; it was the combination of both with its stunning location on top of the hill. That mix of breathtaking scenery and deep history makes it one of the most memorable castles I’ve ever visited. If you’re traveling in the area, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s the kind of place you’ll remember long after you leave.

I loved how they still kept history alive for viewing and provided a free app guided tour. The shuttle to the castle from the parking lot, gift shops and bathrooms in both the castle and parking lot, and restaurants made the tour convenient. But the best parts were the view of nearby lands and beautiful artifacts.

This was a wonderful experience and this castle does not disappoint with sheer beauty located at the top of the mountain. I got lovely photos and videos. There is shuttle bus to the top and an app that gives you an audio tour. There are also many guides on site to answer questions and give you more history. There is a gift shop with beautiful souvenirs and an on site restaurant/bar/cafe. Well worth the visit and I recommend buying advance tickets which are slightly discounted. I also rented a super car on this trip and the drive from Stuttgart was scenic and so much fun in a performance car. Also recommend the drive.

This is a beautiful castle! It is very well maintained. The walk through is nice, and the museum area is really neat too. There's a beautiful outdoor seating area with a beer garden/restaurant. We had lunch and coffee there. We also visited with a baby, and read ahead of time not to bring a stroller due to stairs and tight spaces. So we used a baby carrier instead and it worked perfectly! This is a must visit castle if you're anywhere close in the vicinity. The view looking down is also beautiful.

One of the biggest castles in Stuttgart. This is well-maintained, and the shuttle bus is a great option for the elderly and those with mobility issues. But you will get the best experience if you walk to the castle from the bottom.

Wonderful! It has such a cozy, homey vibe. It’s so great that the family is still preserving it and sharing it with the public. I do recommend downloading the tour app if you want all the detailed history of the castle.

Good place for a weekend visit. Nice view from the castle with benches and lounger to relax and enjoy the sunset. Shuttle service and parking space is commendable. Everything is included in the entry ticket.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely gothic castle, worth a visit. We didn't go inside because we had our dog with us, but the outside views and courtyard were worth the very reasonable entry price. Loved the little statues hidden around! Service at the café outside was friendly and the coffee was good too.

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!

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.

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.

This place is a curious place because of houses that seem to be falling in front of you! The paintings on rathouse are nice because of gold color. You can spend time drinking coffee while the sun sets...

Wonderful town. Wonderful Square. A lovely baker in the corner. Good cafes absolutely definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

A pleasant marketplace to walk around. We came across a street band playing cheerful music. One of the nice areas to visit when in Tübingen.

Tübingen is only an hour and half from Stuttgart by regional train. The city dates from the 6th or 7th century, when the region was populated by the Alamanni people. The old castle dates from around year 1.000. The city was totally destroyed during the WW but many buildings were restored. We can still see special details from the original constructions. A very typical German town worth visiting.

It's a beautiful square surrounded by antique buildings. On and off, there are events such as the Christmas market or currently the "Chocolart", a chocolate themed market.

Amazing place to visit. We arrived during an old town festival with traditional french and Italian products. Many live singers, many small Events great restaurants and lots of crowds. The place to be in every weekend!

Fantastic square with the city hall at its center. The building was started in 1435 and extended over the years. Today you can find a fully preserved medieval square without any damages from WWII. It is a bustling square with many cafés and restaurants.

gothic medieval monastery. includes a church, castle, Monks dormitory, gardens, gothic hallways and greenery surroundings. you can visit the Monastery alone and the castle with a guided group.

Probably the best castle tour we took. The old monastery has been preserved in its original state with its rich and storied history. The church is still in use and is closed to tourists on Sundays. The grounds are in excellent condition and give you true feeling of 16th century living. The tour of the castle was entirely in German but worth the € as it was super informative.

We were attending a concert in the Summer Refectory. Beautiful location for listening to great artist performing wonderful music

We visited Kloster Bebenhausen on a Saturday and though there were people there, it was not crowded at all, and parking was easy to find. Touring the monastery took us into varying rooms such as the dormitory (with bedrooms recreated - from lustrous to straw beds), church, interior garden/fountain, excavation site where you can see what looks to be buildings built lower (with roof tiles) than what is standing now, etc. You can easily spend hours exploring everything, as we did. There is a small gift shop inside the information center, where you also buy your entry tickets. They have items such as books, decorative eggs (some that hang, others in a stand), their own whiskey, and other things. What I have not seem before and found inspiring is that the grave sites have small gardens actually built on them where herbs, plants, and bushes grow. It would be nice to see this type of thing used more often instead of fake or dying flowers and plants. The paintings on the walls and ceilings are beautiful, as well as the spiral staircase leading to the pulpit in the church. The whole place really is a sight to see.

Nice tours of the history of the place!

Stumbled across this place today and found it fascinating! I only walked through the monestary and not the palace. Super descriptions and well preserved. Take your time here and tour the area!

Very interesting monastery and castle. So many stories happened within its walls! This is a very interesting complex. I want to come here again.

A nice old building with history, beer garden, and a modern 3 story addition in the back. Kitchen close early at 20:30. Unfortunately, the shower floor is very slippery and provides no protection against slip and hurt. Resulted in a big bruise... my standing leg 🦵 slipped when stepping out of the shower 🚿. The management answered, not our responsibility

My company hosted training at the hotel and it was a wonderful experience. The conference room was spacious. The food was very good and the service excellent. The rooms are a little older but fit into the area. I highly recommend this hotel.

Love this hotel! I am a musician. I joked in the gig last night that the mini bar only had water! The owners were in the gig and left beautiful wine in my room.. Thank you so much! Lovely people. Beautiful Hotel!! Well worth a visit.

Friendly service, great food, spacious and clean rooms. One of the best breakfast buffets we have enjoyed since covid regulations started. We would visit again.

Compared to other establishments in the surrounding area moderately expensive for drinks. But the nice ambiance and friendly staff make well up for this. Would not recommend for single drinks, but for a good meal this is definitely the place.

Empfang was bad. They put 2 persons in the smallest available room (number 115! Please reject it). Later they upgraded is to a normal room. But still, hospitality was bad. Not what you can excpat for a fullprice fare. Hotel itself is a bit outdated, eighties. No aircon, its well maintained and clean. But could do some upgrading.

We went for a Saturday to Sunday mini trip. Unfortunately, Hotel Hirsau was not suitable. We arrived after 8pm and just made it to the restaurant who were already in a hurry to close. We wanted to use the pool/sauna but couldn't. In the evening on Saturday they were already closed and then we were told that hotel services are not offered after checkout at 11am on Sunday plus the sauna is not on until 2pm. So that didn't work either. This made it impossible for us to use the facilities :-( If you like a relaxed weekend morning, you also won't make it to the breakfast which closes at 10am. This timetable of this hotel is for business but not suited for a leisure weekend visit.

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.

A large shopping center with many world-class brand stores at reasonable prices. There is a list of all stores in the photos. Parking is not a problem, there are many parking garages and parking areas. There are cafes, restaurants and bistros. They do their best to ensure the satisfaction of visitors.

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 👎

Best place for shopping, has plenty of parking spot and variety of brands on same street.

The best outlet I’ve been to in Germany. Huge selection of stores and very very large campus to walk around. Loved it. Great deals and I love that they have a midnight shopping event once a month usually, where they stay open till very late at night.

Good area for shopping brands, sometimes discount mentioned with up to % can be misleading. On weekends or during holidays it is hard to find parking which are close to the shopping area.

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!

Facility is nice, clean. Several pools with different features. We did not use the cafe. The staff were friendly. Very busy on the weekend. Unable to buy tickets in advance.

I love this therme. It’s clean. Lots of options from nice pools, saunas, salt room and chairs to relax on. The view is beautiful and always enjoy a nice meal when there. I can’t fault this place at all. It’s one of my favorites in the Stuttgart area.

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

It's are a beautiful place to swim and have fun. My son likes 36° swimming pool outside. We spend all day there and we enjoyed it.

Great variety of pools with work out suggestions and hydromassages. Also excellt choice of steam and relax rooms. Love the fact that there are no kids under 6 it makes it a more relaxed enviorment. Clean amd safe facility with an excellent restaurant onsite.

Very overpriced, 16,5€ per person for 2,5 hours without sauna (8€ extra), no panoramic view and rude staff :(

Not a public place. Often taken over by private shows and activities which block the views to the visitors. Should not be a location for shows and events. Visitors are interested in the natural beauty of the state property with no commercial events or shows. Money is always king of the people

• “Enjoying the sunshine at Schlossplatz ☀️ One of my favorite places in Stuttgart!” • “Schlossplatz never disappoints — stunning views and great energy all around ❤️ #Stuttgart #Schlossplatz” • “Beautiful day in the heart of Stuttgart! Love spending time at Schlossplatz 💫”

Schlossplatz is truly the heart of the city and absolutely deserves five stars! It is a stunning, beautiful landmark that immediately impresses visitors with its grand scale; it's a truly large square perfect for relaxing. What makes it exceptional is how impeccably clean and safe it feels, clearly being well-protected by police presence, allowing you to enjoy your visit worry-free. After enjoying the scenery and the calm atmosphere, you'll love that the surrounding area is packed with many excellent restaurants to eat at. A perfect central destination!

Not that impressed by Schlossplatz. The building and the park are nice but it was very very crowded. Not sure what it is exactly but it is missing the vibe that cities like London or Paris have… On the positive side; we found Coffreez; a really nice coffee take away bar. See foto.

It was really crowded when we went. There are a lot of cool things to see here. A lot of shopping as well. The flea market was open when we went, so we got to see a lot of old items. We went in the November, and they were setting up for the Christmas Market.

Great place to visit and grab a bite to eat. Beautiful and very picturesque. We were there during UEFA Nation's League Cup and the atmosphere was electrifying

Stuttgart hasn't that much to offer to visitors if you don't count two outstanding car museums in its suburbs. The central area is mostly modern and new rebuilt after WWII grounding of entire city. Schlossplatz, or the Palace square is the best attraction from historic point of view. Like you might conclude it's in the very center. A huge Wurtemburg Kings palace dominates the square on the eastern side. In the middle is the unification obelisk erected in honor of Wurtemberg joining the German confederation, with two nice fountains. The square is full of people having their free time and picnic there, while around the square are several bars and restaurants to sip a drink and enjoy the beauty

Incredible museum! The building is stunning, the exhibits are world-class, and the journey through automotive history is captivating from start to finish. Super clean, well organized, and great for all ages. A must-visit in Stuttgart — even if you’re not a car fan! What makes it truly special is how the story of Mercedes-Benz is told side by side with world history, I loved that! The journey through the history of Mercedes-Benz is perfectly intertwined with world history — you see how global events shaped innovation and design over time. The building itself is stunning, and the layout takes you on a fascinating journey through over 130 years of automotive history. From the very first automobile to futuristic concept cars, every floor is beautifully designed and full of innovation and storytelling. The audio guide and interactive displays make the experience engaging for all ages, and the way history and technology are woven together is impressive. You really feel the evolution of design, engineering, and culture. The staff are friendly and helpful, and everything is spotless and well organized. Absolutely fantastic experience for anyone curious about the power of creativity and progress!

The Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart is a true architectural and historical masterpiece, offering an immersive journey that appeals far beyond just automotive enthusiasts. It is, without a doubt, one of the best corporate museums in the world and a must-visit landmark in Germany. Brilliant Architecture and Chronological Design The building's ingenious double-helix architecture guides the visitor through time. You ascend to the top floor—the birth of the automobile—and then spiral down through nine levels, witnessing 130 years of history unfold chronologically. This unique design ensures a seamless and captivating flow. The lighting, presentation, and curation of the exhibits are world-class, giving every vehicle, from Karl Benz's first patent motor car to the modern F1 racers, the reverence it deserves. Innovation Contextualized in World History What truly elevates this museum is how it integrates the vehicles with parallel world history. Each exhibition floor connects Mercedes-Benz's technical progress with defining moments and culture of that era. You see the evolution of luxury, safety, and racing innovation—including the legendary Silver Arrows and the iconic "Gullwing" models. The sheer volume and diversity of cars, trucks, and prototypes are breathtaking, illustrating Mercedes-Benz's influence on global mobility. Conclusion: For its stunning design, technical depth, and engaging historical context, the Mercedes-Benz Museum is a powerful experience. The exhibition is impeccably maintained, the staff are helpful, and the ticket price offers fantastic value for a deep dive into industrial heritage. Allow at least three to four hours to properly explore this brilliant celebration of engineering. Highly, highly recommended when visiting Stuttgart.

It was a unique experience from my side. After having parked the car, we entered to the museum and took the elevator to the top floor where you are going to start your journey. From classic cars to classic sport cars and from recent road stars to formula cars. I mean simply amazing. The most important thing to do in the city.

⭐ 10/10 — a place I’d gladly visit again I visited the Mercedes-Benz Museum on a Sunday and it turned out to be a great decision. It wasn’t crowded, so I could walk around comfortably and really enjoy the atmosphere. The whole place is extremely clean and well-organized, and you can see how much attention is put into every detail. The audio guide was another highlight: clear, easy to follow, and filled with interesting facts. It doesn’t just talk about cars, but also about the history and the world around the inventions. At some points it genuinely feels like a small time-travel experience. Even if you’re not a big car fan, the museum still has a lot to offer. It tells a wider story about innovation, progress and the people behind it all. Each floor adds something new and keeps you curious. I’m not adding too many photos here because I’d rather keep some intrigue for future visitors. If you’re in Stuttgart, this place is definitely worth a visit. 👉 Highly recommended 👍

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An outstanding experience! The Mercedes Benz Museum in Stuttgart is truly impressive, beautifully designed, perfectly organized, and full of fascinating history and stunning cars. The storytelling from past to present is exceptional, and every floor offers something unique. A must visit in Stuttgart for anyone who appreciates quality, innovation, and great hospitality. Highly recommended!

The Mercedes-Benz Museum isn't just a place for car enthusiasts; it is a meticulously curated journey through industrial and global history that easily earns its five stars. The experience begins with a profound reverence for innovation, celebrating Mercedes-Benz as the true pioneer of the internal combustion engine—the very invention that birthed the modern automobile in 1886. The cloverleaf architecture is genius, guiding visitors chronologically through the "Legend Rooms." You descend through nine floors of history, witnessing the evolution from the first Patent-Motorwagen to the latest concepts. The promise of the museum holds true: it has all the cars, showcasing an incredible collection of over 160 vehicles, including legendary Silver Arrows, luxurious Popemobiles, and iconic vehicles from every era. What elevates this museum far above others is its educational depth. It skillfully weaves the story of the founders, Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler, presenting not just their creations, but the entrepreneurial spirit and visionary ideas that drove them. Even more impressively, the museum integrates this automotive narrative with the broader history of the world, offering context on social and technological upheavals, allowing you to see how the car shaped (and was shaped by) the events of each period. It is a stunning, comprehensive, and perfectly presented exhibition that honors a legacy of engineering excellence. An absolute essential visit in Stuttgart!

The Mercedes-Benz Museum is nothing short of extraordinary—a world-class experience that blends automotive history, innovation, and storytelling into one unforgettable visit. From the moment you step inside the striking, futuristic building, you’re transported into the rich legacy of one of the world’s most influential automotive brands. What impressed me most was the sheer breadth of historic Mercedes-Benz models on display. The museum takes you on a chronological journey, beginning with the very invention of the automobile and guiding you through decades of engineering achievements, design evolution, and cultural impact. I was genuinely amazed to discover just how deeply Mercedes-Benz has been woven into major historical moments over the years—whether in motorsport, luxury travel, or groundbreaking technological advancements. Each exhibit is thoughtfully curated, offering the perfect blend of information, visuals, and interactive elements. This isn’t just a place for car enthusiasts, though they will certainly be in heaven. It’s an experience the whole family can enjoy. There’s so much to see, explore, and learn that even those who aren’t deeply into cars will find themselves captivated. The museum is spacious, beautifully organized, and designed to keep visitors engaged at every turn. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time—at least a few hours—to truly appreciate everything the museum has to offer. From early prototypes to legendary racing cars, from elegant classics to modern innovations, every level reveals something new and fascinating. Incredible in every sense, the Mercedes-Benz Museum is a must-do for anyone visiting the area. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the brand or simply curious about automotive history, this museum delivers an experience that is both inspiring and unforgettable. Highly recommended.

Beautiful garden + zoo which is so nicely maintained. The garden is spectacular. There is the cactus area which would mesmerize all garden lovers. The surroundings are well kept. The Amazon experience is amazing. The animals can be viewed closely, that's how the landscaping is done for their enclosures. Multiple restaurants are within the Wilhelma zoo. Not to forget some lucky ones even got peacock feathers. We visited on a Saturday with kids and it was a day well spent.

Huge place to visit, great value for money of you go on sight seeing. Wilhelma is both a botanical and a zoological garden with a great collection in both fauna. There are a lot of things to do for children (special places were they can climb and play) but as well as a lot of places to grab something to eat or a coffee or a … bear.

This was by far the biggest coolest zoo we've ever been to! Beautiful botanical gardens too! There's different microclimate buildings with native plants to those regions and the animals are out in their habitat when you walk through. We've never experienced anything like it, definitely the coolest thing we did while we were in Stuttgart! Parking was 8 euros, we spent 6 hours making our way through the park and could have been there even longer than that. We used the 3 day stuttcard that we purchased for entrance at the zoo. Well worth your time!

Wilhelma is an absolute must-visit and a stellar example of modern zoological care! From the moment you step inside, the entire park feels incredibly well maintained—a truly pristine environment. The focus on animal welfare is clear; the complex features very good, spacious animal sanctuaries that clearly contribute to happy animals throughout the exhibits. It's truly heartwarming to see the dedication of the staff, and it’s obvious there are a lot of workers enjoying their job, which adds to the positive atmosphere. A fantastic, ethical, and beautiful day out!

I have visited zoo and botanical gardens lot of time but the trip to Wilhelma was a unique experience. It is constructed such that to give a natural habitat to the animals while people can also experience how the animals of wild look like. You can see them real close through glass windows. This was a very unique experience. There are all kinds of animals and birds. Since I have been only one time, due to limited time, I couldn't visit the Amazon forest and botanical gardens. But I am thinking of getting a yearly pass next year. Amazing experience. The nature truly is amazing and beyond words.

An absolutely impressive experience! Zoo Whelma stands out through its clever design and remarkable attention to detail. The artificially recreated habitats are vast and carefully crafted to reflect the natural environments of the animals. I was especially amazed by the presence of rare endemic species and the seamless blend of native flora with matching fauna. The dioramas are stunning, and the entire park feels like a perfect mix between a botanical garden and a zoo — a truly unique and memorable concept. It beautifully combines restored older sections with newly developed areas, showing both tradition and innovation. You can clearly see the passion and professionalism behind this project. I’m really looking forward to the opening of the two new wings, which will surely make the experience even richer. Highly recommended for all nature, education, and wildlife lovers!

All this green area , birds and animals is a joy of soul and eyes. Never had this much of calm in a very long time. I am happy that I visited it today. Note : I arrived at the gate and it was opened and none there , I stepped one foot to see where is the staff and a guy firmly asked me to step outside again. I didn't and showed him my ticket , he check it and then allowed me to enter. His behavior was so rude.
