It's worth a look if you're spending a day in Sozopol.

Really nice place, crowded, but it’s a visited/touristic spot thus this was expected. We really liked the streets and arhitecture, we went there everyday to discover something new. Nice to take walks and see the old buildings and ruins. We ignored the shops with souvenirs as they could kind of ruin the vibe. Totally one of the nicest places from the Bulgarian sea side resorts

If you want to visit the old town to see nice and unique architecture and ancient style streets - don't bother. Plenty of tables selling all kinds of cheap colourful plastic stuff... toys hanging everywhere, very crowded... especially if you are visiting with kids - you could not see any architecture.

Old Nessebar is a nice little isle for a sight seeing trip during a holiday at Sunny Beach Bulgaria. Nice historical place with some authentic old architecture and plenty of toerist shops. Also seem to have regular interesting activities during summer.

I did not spend the night in the old town, but I have bought souvenirs from various shops. It is very beautiful, the prices are OK and the personnel was very polite and helpful. It was a worthwhile experience!

Very bad expensive. Refrigerator is not connected to the permanent electricity of the hotel. It is connected to your room key. Means when you are out, the refrigerator doesn't work. The worst hotels in the world don't work like that. The size of WC is tiny: 22x26 cm!!!! It is a torture using the WC. The blankets have no cover and when I asked for that, they simply ignored me. Never again this place. Never.

The whole island a massive tourist trap. We managed to find only two streets that were not flooded with booths selling unrelated crap (Lafufu dools, Pokemon key rings, Brainrot towels). The vendors cover the houses with accessories that have nothing to do with the place. People use loudspeakers to promote their stuff. Some walk up to you trying to sell you some jewelry. My whole family were disgusted. We came for UNESCO sites and we're badly disappointed.

If you are staying nearby a visit to Old Nessebar is a must. We stayed in Sveti Vlas and got the boat over, which was nice too. It's a nice relaxed environment with some great history and nice places to eat too. We went in June and was told it got really busy in July and August, with narrow streets it could get very crowded.

Just a flew slides are good, but the rest not. A really small park with not a lot of activities. Maybe a better place for families. The bracelets they give you at the entrance slide off from your hand easily and get lost. Then you have to pay extra money for the lost bracelet. The "dressing rooms" were horrible and no lockers anywhere. They charged us more for the locker and it was on the other side of the park than the dressing rooms. The locker room smelled so bad that you had to hold your breath when you went in. Also they give you an actual key for it and you have to carry it along everywhere. The whole park was so outdated and poorly made. The slides also give you bruises and it hurts like hell.

Close to the beach and the rest of the main resort. There was no long queuing for the attractions. There were plenty of sun beds available for all guests. It is well catered place with food options for different tastes. Children love it. Highly recommend it.

At the entrance, your bag is checked to make sure you don't have any water or food with you, they just touched the bottom of your bag. The slides were not crowded ( at the end of august), maybe after 2 pm . Prices: entrance 67 leva / adult, Frappe 8 leva, Cola 0.5l 6 leva

Hardly any queues at the slides, so 3 hours is enough to ride them all twice, they really should offer a half day ticket, as the entrance fee is quite steep! Or in the entrance fee maybe include 1 picture, which are taken throughout your visit. Best place for a nap I found stretching out on a double boat alone, nicely out of the water and super comfy with a slight to and from rocking. Online tickets are pointless, as they are same price as at the cash desk, only useful, if you have a coupon, which can only be redeemed online. But keep in mind you have to make a screenshot of the booking number, as they don't sent any confirmation email.

Awesome day,,not very busy, end of season so all restaurants etc closed but ticket price included the use of the all inclusive hotel for the day so had a great massive lunch and free drinks. The water was very cold but soon get used to it 👌

The price is expensive. Unjustified Paying for the locker in cash too Only one or two of the staff at the slides were nice, the rest were not Bad attitude towards the children and yelling at the children unjustly. No professional first aid service No health insurance for injuries Despite the expensive price. If you are a local or speak a local language, they let you bring in food and drinks from outside. The complex needs to be renovated, expanded and improved. Because I visited six years ago, it's the same thing. The cashier was nice Hope the situation will change for the better

Really enjoyed it, 10 year old had lots of fun, went a friday in August, minimal queues, got slightly busier between 2 and 4, food was reasonably priced approx £10 for a burger meal, must try are the corn on the cobs, really healthy snack,

Visiting the Selimiye Mosque in Edirne was an unforgettable experience for me. Designed by the famous Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan, it’s considered his masterpiece, and I can definitely see why. The massive central dome and the perfectly balanced proportions of the structure are absolutely breathtaking. I was especially amazed by the intricate tile work and the sense of space and light inside the mosque—it feels both grand and peaceful at the same time. Knowing that Sinan built it when he was in his 80s makes it even more impressive. It’s not just a religious site, but also a symbol of artistic and architectural brilliance.

A great mosque, but unfortunately, when I went to visit, most of it was closed because they were working on restoration! Anyway, if you’re around Edirne, you should definitely visit it and see what the great Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan was able to design. From my perspective, this mosque is a must-visit!

Selimiye Mosque is one of Edirne’s most important iconic attraction. It was build in the 15th Century, unfortunately during our visit, Mosque is under restoration ,scheduled to complete by 2025. However we did have a good tour inside . It is beautiful, was selected as UNESCO World heritage site in 2011 Selimiye is a vast and striking Ottoman imperial mosque. It has a grand dome, accompanied by 4nos. 71m-tall beautiful slender minarets under the sky (2 of which are under restoration) For visitors, be sure to follow the customs, remove your shoes before stepping on the carpet to enter, wear clothes that covers your shoulders & knees and women must wear a headscarf. We had great time exploring inside , indeed an architectural masterpiece with ceiling adorned with floral iznik tiles and especially for its big open space enchanced by its colorful floral carpet. A must see if you are ever in Edirne !!!!

Its a beautiful mosque but right now its under major renovation. Only small portion of mosque is open for tourists.

August 1978: from Pavia to Istanbul, entering Turkey from Greece at Edirne, the ancient Adrianople. The Commander of the Turkish border post, very kind, offered us tea and gave us precious directions for the continuation of the journey. We visited the Mosque, wonderful, we listened to the songs and prayers of the Muezzin. And then off, towards Istanbul. We were, for those times, in a distant country, beautiful and very different from Italy, but we never felt like foreigners.

Can't say much. Another mosque that is being renovated. Maybe I've seen to many but lots of people were visiting.

Just a beautiful place. Hope to come back when the construction site will be completed

It is very beautiful to find yourself in such a place full of history, it really makes you feel special being able to walk through it and imagine all the things that have been taking place ever since it was built. The entrance is 15 leva which you can pay by card/cash at the entrance. Beware it is a long distance to walk and mostly uphill. The view is breathtaking so it's worth it. Talking about the interior, it felt kitschy and totally not in harmony with the outside and with the idea of a thousand year old fortress.It was too modern and somehow in my head it didn't add up. But beside that, the surroundings are magnificent.

Very nice place for a walk. Not recommended to visit on torrid days in the summer time. You need at least 2 hours to visit. I didn't find a map and a written guide at ticket store or gift store. Toilet inside is cash only 1 Lev. Everything must be paid with cash in Bulgarian currency leva. You can pay with card just the tickets at the main entrance.

Amazing place with incredible views and so much history. The walk up is a bit steep, but totally worth it once you reach the top. The ruins are well preserved and the light show in the evening is awesome. Definitely a must-see if you visit Veliko Tarnovo!

The fortress is well kept and some parts are renovated very well. It takes you to the time when Bulgarian was under Ottoman occupation and how they lived before that. Really nice for a walk and the church is really nice inside.

Number one tip is to arrive when it opens before the crowds. Number two tip you must wear supportive shoes. Stay hydrated. Commanding views of the city and plenty of history to absorb. Should be included on any trip to the city.

Riveting experience exploring the old Bulgarian fortress monument. The area was not very crowded at around 13:00pm when my crew was there. The grounds are well preserved as well as clean. There is plenty to see with the Church at the summit and the meandering walls around the hill overlooking the city and yantra river. Free parking can be found by the yantra beach/ bridge, and from there a short walk or bus ride up to the site.

You need at least 2 hours to visit. Nice view. I didn't find a map and a written guide at ticket store or gift store. Toilet inside is cash only 1 Lev.

Very nice old town. Good for a nice morning stroll. Lots of restaurants and bars around. I can recommend walking side streets as well. Overall a good experience but nothing really spectacular.

The Old City of Plovdiv (ancient Philippoupolis) is a magnificent blend of history, culture, and architecture. Once a thriving Greek and Roman city, it still preserves its charm through cobbled streets, colorful 19th-century houses, and elegant churches and museums. Highlights include the Ancient Theatre, the Ethnographic Museum, and beautifully restored mansions like Balabanov House. Don’t miss the crafts street, where local artisans create and sell handmade jewelry, ceramics and traditional souvenirs, a lively reminder of the city’s creative spirit. A must-see for history and art lovers alike.

Plovdiv’s Old Town is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric places I’ve visited. The cobblestone streets, colorful Revival-era houses, and hidden courtyards make the whole area feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Every corner has something interesting—museums, galleries, small cafés, and amazing viewpoints over the city. It’s clean, calm, and perfect for walking, even if you’re just exploring without a plan. The architecture is stunning, especially the traditional Bulgarian houses and the Roman theatre. Locals are friendly and there’s plenty of information signs in English too. If you’re in Plovdiv, you simply must visit the Old Town. It’s easily one of the highlights of the city.

It's a wonderful old city, but I definitely recommend avoiding it in hot weather. We think it's best visited in the fall. A stroller isn't comfortable due to the cobblestones. Sneakers are more comfortable. It's a pleasant city to visit.

Definitely worth visiting — it’s the only truly beautiful spot around. Just be careful with your footwear, as the ground is uneven with broken stones and no flat surfaces. Free entrance.

Very nice place to walk with your loved ones. Enjoyed the old city this afternoon 🤗

I had a wonderful experience visiting this place and saw the culture of a civilization that existed many years ago! What they discovered and what they have done to survive.

We were there at the last week of the season, therefore didn’t have any questions. Everything was so fast, easy and relaxed. Cards are in good condition. Dont get the ones with ads on cause you cant see and enjoy the view 😂 We took half day tickets (from 12.30 till 16.00). It was more than enough since it wasn’t crowded. Ticket office and the machines are the same prices. There are stairs to go up very hard to walk would be nice to have a lift.

Extremely long cues, up-to 2 hours in the morning. To save time buy the VIP to use the back entrance, or, take the taxi to the top, or, arrive after the morning rush! There are also long cues to come down as the sun starts to set. Beautiful ride to the top

Absolutely great. I'm over 75, have difficulty walking and for 1Lv had a Gondala pass (same for my assisting daughter). The Gondala staff not only stopped the Gondala so I could get on but messaged ahead to the other end so they would do the same.

One of the greatest views in the area, quick and reliable service!

It's a gondola.... We were in Bansko week before Feb half term and after 9am it was mega busy, 30 minutes wait minimum if you don't have the magic queue jump pass. Runs all day up and down with a mid station stop at Chalin Valog. Takes about 29mins to reach the top. Tickets bought via crystal Ski so can't comment on the usual cost.

Great experience, but the price of 25 EUR /person for a ride is way too much. July 2025

Incompetent system to transfer people to the ski zone. The queue may take up to 3 hours. Second lift shall be in service at earliest. Although they charge 50€ per day, the quality does not match the expectation. There are alternative queues (so called Vip line and Ski school) inside gondola station, this is the reason why you wait too long outside. Apart from that, slopes are surrounded with pine trees and the lifts uphill are relatively less busy.

Incredibly beautiful spiritual site, highly recommended visiting if you’re in the area and can easily make a day trip out of it from Sofia! So much history in this site, the Monastery is free to enter but I would recommend a guided tour for a rich experience.

Beautiful Monastery and beautiful surrounding. The road from Rila to Monastery was magical as forest around this Autumn was like fairy tale. It was on and off rain so not many tourists came (perfect!). You are not allowed to take photos inside the church and walk into the residential area. Entry is free (not sure about museum as I didn’t get in)

Best place to bei. Spiritual and cultural Highlight placed in magical mountain scenery. Parking ahead with a few Meters walkway possible free of Charge. Highly recommend. If you avoid peaktime, than It ist more relaxing. Full around noon.

Magnificent and unforgettable! Rila Monastery is truly one of Bulgaria’s greatest treasures. The architecture is stunning, surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery, and the atmosphere is peaceful and spiritual. The frescoes and details inside are incredible — a must-visit for anyone traveling in Bulgaria. Absolutely worth the trip from Sofia!

Rila Monastery is truly breathtaking. Nestled in the mountains, it feels like stepping into a peaceful world far removed from everyday life. The architecture is stunning—colorful arches, intricate frescoes, and beautifully preserved details everywhere you look. The courtyard is especially magical, with the striped façade and central church creating a postcard-perfect view. Inside the church, the frescoes are extraordinary and worth taking your time to appreciate. The surrounding nature is equally impressive; the fresh mountain air and quiet trails make the whole visit feel rejuvenating. Parking and access are straightforward, and there are small shops nearby with local treats and souvenirs. A must-visit if you’re in Bulgaria—both for its history and its serene atmosphere.

Rila Monastery is about a 1.5-hour drive from Sofia, nestled deep in the mountains. It’s best to go by car — the road is easy and takes you through stunning scenery. Plan to spend around two hours at the monastery itself, plus extra time to explore the surrounding area. The complex is breathtaking — beautifully preserved and full of history. Don’t miss the small museum and the icon exhibition next to it. From the courtyard, the colorful buildings set against the mountain backdrop are truly spectacular. Behind the monastery, you’ll also find a restaurant and a few souvenir shops. It’s worth arriving early — I got there around 10 a.m., when it was still peaceful, but by 11:30 the tour buses start to arrive and it gets crowded.

Really beautiful monastery. Wonderful endless murals right outside of the church. Free to enter (didn't try to visit the museum) You need to pay for the parking lot, 5 leva (~2.5 euro). The road to reach it was very nice, some parts alongside the river, made a great photo stop as well

Sofia’s most iconic and grand cathedral, and its size combined with its stunning architecture gives it a truly commanding presence. Construction: Built between 1882 and 1912 to honor Russian soldiers who died during the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878), which liberated Bulgaria from Ottoman rule. Architectural Style: Neo-Byzantine, with striking gold-plated domes and intricate frescoes inside. Capacity: Can accommodate up to 5,000 people, making it one of the largest Eastern Orthodox cathedrals in the world. Features: Lavish interior with marble columns, mosaics, icons, and a massive iconostasis. Significance: Serves as the patriarchal cathedral of Bulgaria, a national symbol of faith, history, and Bulgarian liberation.

The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is absolutely stunning and definitely a must see in Sofia. The architecture is breathtaking, from the golden domes to the beautifully detailed interior. What really impressed me is the feeling this place gives you. It truly evokes emotion, reflection and a quiet sense of presence. Inside, the frescoes are exceptional, full of depth and beauty, and they make the whole experience even more meaningful. Even if you have seen many cathedrals before, this one really stands out. Iconic, impressive and full of history, it adds something special to your time in Sofia.

The Saint Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is one of those places that truly catches your eye the moment you see it. Its massive size, golden domes, and unique architecture make it stand out instantly in the city. You can’t help but stop and admire it from the outside. Once you step inside, the atmosphere completely changes. It’s quiet, spacious, and full of beautiful details. The murals, icons, and soft lighting create a calm and almost mystical feeling that makes you want to walk slowly and take everything in. One of the best things is that entrance is completely free, so visiting is very easy. The area around the cathedral is also lovely for a walk, taking photos, or just enjoying a bit of local life.

Such a wonderful cathedral and the largest in the Balkans. It's Neo-Byzantine style is glamorous and admirable. The artwork and chandeliers were such an eyesight. The cathedral is a symbol of Sofia and must visit. There was no wait time during the week and no tickets. A small donation to light up a candle is a nice idea. The crowd was very low.

I was lucky enough to walk in during service and it was magical. There was a beautiful choir singing and the sound was spectacular. I was in tears. The building and the energy almost commands you to be present. The visitors were very respectful. A must visit. I would assume Saturday afternoon is when they have a service.

Free entry. You can either pray or visit or both. One of the most iconic landmarks in Sofia with pure golden roof finish donated by Russia long time ago. Inside, all those riches and hand painted pictures of all Bulgarian saints. Regardless of your faith, it must been seen while visited Sofia.

A breathtaking masterpiece Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is one of those places that compels you to stop, look up, and remain silent. Its grandeur can be perceived from afar, but it is only when you get closer that you can truly appreciate every detail: golden domes shining in the sun, a majestic facade, and an almost magical feeling that accompanies every step. Upon entering, the atmosphere changes completely: soft lighting, the scent of incense, and wonderful icons that tell centuries of faith and history. Even those who are not religious cannot remain indifferent in the face of such beauty. Everything seems to speak of spirituality, art, and Bulgarian identity. I recommend visiting both during the day, to admire its architectural magnificence, and in the evening, when the lighting makes it even more evocative. A must-see for anyone passing through Sofia: it is not just a cathedral, it is an experience that remains in your heart.

Vitosha Boulevard is the pulsing heart of Sofia’s city life. Walking down this wide, lively street, you’re surrounded by chic boutiques, cozy cafés, and the buzz of people enjoying the day. The view of Vitosha Mountain at the end of the boulevard gives it a stunning backdrop, making every stroll feel cinematic. It’s the kind of place where you can wander aimlessly, sip a coffee, watch street performers, and feel the city’s rhythm. By night, the lights and laughter give it a whole new energy — Vitosha Boulevard isn’t just a street, it’s Sofia’s living room.

The main street of the city with many restaurants, shops and interesting spots.

Not to be missed. Good walking. Fresh air. Beautiful space. Nice people!

For walking and exploring city one of the main road

very long and nice central street

Was there every day when i visited Bulgaria, very beautiful street with lots of shops and withe a nice vibe

Excellent place to walk around, do some shopping and then sit down to relax and eat food

Must vist place in belgrade serbia. The Fortress is a must visit when in the city. Originally built by the Romans in the 1st century AD, the fortress has seen countless empires rise and fall including Byzantine, Hungarian, Ottoman, and Austrian, each leaving its own mark. The Ottomans, who ruled Belgrade for nearly two centuries, rebuilt and expanded large parts of the fortress. You can still see traces of their presence in the design of the gates, the remains of the mosque near the Upper Town, and the general layout that reflects their military architecture. The surrounding Kalemegdan Park adds charm to the visit, offering shaded paths, sculptures, and views across the rivers. Key highlights within the fortress include the Victor Monument, and the Military Museum, which houses weapons from various periods of Serbian and Balkan. Great history, great view, great vepons

Clean. Well maintained. Free entry. Has free public toilets. Good place to explore and have a walk. The views of New Belgrade and the Danube are amazing.

It is a beautiful place. No entry ticket to most of the places. View of the rivers is beautiful. It was cloudy during our stasis we missed sunset. Chapel is worth visiting

Beautiful, I mean a must visit in Belgrade and free, lots of tanks and anti tanks outside, nice park, read the small signs along the walking it will tell you more about the history of it.

We went here on a walking tour of Belgrade. It is well laid out and provides a great setting to learn about the history of the area, city, and country. There are plaques throughout with some information but so much can be understood just by looking a the location to understand why it was a critical place for a fortification.

Cool views of the city, some armored vehicles on display at the gates, nothing too special. I liked reading the informative labels throughout the fortress, they were detailed. You can climb on some of the walls, other than that there are some basketball/tennis courts right outside that don’t really match the vibe.

I went here on the 31/8/2025 and I had such a bad experience. The park looked like it was from a war zone with trash, used syringes, faeces, urine and weeds everywhere. Really third world country conditions. It was full of people begging and homeless people that were screaming at the top of their lungs for no reason and the area generally felt really unsafe. I would not recommend visiting it under no circumstances. So sad

Petrovaradin Fortress is very important and beautiful fortress in Serbia and, in brief, it was used for military and strategic purposes by different empires and kingdoms throughout history. It's something to read about. This river is a well known European river Danube.

The Petrovaradin Fortress, located in Novi Sad, Serbia, is a historic site overlooking the Danube River. Often referred to as the "Gibraltar on the Danube," it was built by the Austrians in the 17th and 18th centuries to defend against Ottoman invasions. The fortress is known for its massive walls, underground tunnels, and the iconic clock tower. Today, it hosts the EXIT Festival and remains a popular tourist destination, offering stunning views of the river and the city. Its blend of history, culture, and architecture makes it a fascinating landmark.

The Petrovaradin Fortress has a huge historical value and it's one of the most beautiful place to visit while being in Serbia! The sightseeing is out of this world! Being on top of everything offers a great experience while looking at the city of Novi Sad from above. I recommend this place to all the tourists! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really nice view of Novi Sad and beyond. Also lovely to be able to walk freely around the walls, ramparts and grounds. We were there just after the 2 big storms so trees and roof tiles were scattered everywhere, as well as plenty of other debris. Hope everything gets put back together!

It's not so easy to find. Beautiful place

Nice, not much shade during the day. Good for picnic in the park

Exit Festival was amazing. So many great acts, really nice crowd and good vibes

We had a blast on the E-Coaster tour of the Kállo Valley, with Ricsi leading our tour. His instructions were clear and easy to follow, as we learned at the garage area, and then we were off, flying through town and up into the valley. His tour included bits of local history too. He also took some great pictures of my girlfriend and me. Overall, I highly recommend the E-coaster tour with 4Évsak. We hope to return!

We were on a Laser Fight with our bachelorette team. Our guide - Sz. Tomi - created a great and friendly atmosphere, took a lot of great photos, gave us information of the area. We enjoyed the game sooo much, it was the best decision to go with the girls for a "fight" in the woods with our helmets and laser guns. Thank you for the whole experience! :)) We will encourage anyone to go and experience this kind of activity.

Szilard give us beautiful moments ❤️

It has been a great tour with Ricsi!

family fun and the best part is the trainer makes sure ur segaway learning experience is safe nd exciting

Great experience, more then 250 possibilities from bicycle to Segway, ATV and many more. Big congratulations to the hosts which are really amazing people. I don't, want to mention the food, because it was so good that I had to lick my fingers after dinner :)

Richie is a good tour guide

Richly decorated art nouveau style basilica, full of history and relics. The mosaics are impressive, the style is magnificent and sculptures are masterful. There is so much to see here. Tip: buy your tickets online at least a couple of days in advance. They don't sell tickets at the entrance and there is often none available even online

What a beautiful church. The details are incredible. We went to a concert tonight - the music was beautiful. Definitely recommend! Also, go to the Panoramic viewpoint. You can take the elevator up partway, but you still need to climb several floors of stairs- but it was so cool to see the cement structure of the dome!

Absolutely breathtaking! Visiting St. Stephen’s Basilica was an unforgettable experience. The interior left me amazed, the details, artwork, and overall grandeur are simply stunning. It’s truly one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture I’ve ever seen, and I’d say it’s a must-visit in Budapest. We bought tickets for the church only, and even that was more than worth it. The craftsmanship inside is so intricate that you can spend a long time just admiring the details. The Basilica is also home to Hungary’s most sacred relic, the mummified right hand of St. Stephen, the first King of Hungary, which is displayed in the chapel. For those interested, there’s also an option to visit the dome, which offers a panoramic view of Budapest — I didn’t do it this time, but I’ve heard it’s well worth it. Tickets are reasonably priced, and it’s a good idea to check the opening hours as the Basilica also hosts concerts and services. Highly recommend adding this to your Budapest itinerary — both for its beauty and its cultural significance.

This church is one of my mom’s favorites, and during our visit to Budapest it quickly became one of mine as well. It’s definitely a must-see. You do need a ticket to enter, but purchasing them online is simple, and entry times are clearly scheduled. The area outside can get quite busy, yet inside the basilica it feels calm and organized. The architecture is stunning, and after your visit there are plenty of dining options nearby.

Saint Stephen’s Basilica is A Must-See Masterpiece ⛪️ Wow…just wow. Saint Stephen’s Basilica is absolutely breathtaking. Whether you’re religious or not, or even if you’re not the “church enthusiast” type, this is one spot in Budapest you have to see. To say the interior is stunning would be an understatement, it’s jaw-droppingly beautiful. (Check the pictures below, words barely do it justice.) The church is massive and has multiple parts to explore: the main hall, an elevator leading up to the terrace, and the treasury upstairs. Pro tip: go for the all-access ticket. It’s around €23 per person and 100% worth it. Sure, the main church alone is lovely if you’re in a rush, but the terrace and treasury really complete the experience. The terrace view of Budapest is absolutely gorgeous. Not to be biased, but it’s honestly better than the sky deck 😂 Plan for about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes to see everything at a relaxed pace. There are toilets upstairs too, which is another reason to grab that all-access pass (seriously, finding public bathrooms in Budapest can be an adventure on its own 💀). Overall…An incredible landmark, well worth the time and money. If you’re in Budapest, put this high on your list. It’s a true gem of the city.

Hello! The in-person ticket office is across the street (off ground), so be aware. The line to get tickets was not long at all. The basilica and panoramic view combination is the best value. There is a discount for seniors (65 years and older). The basilica is a wonder to see! There are many alcoves as well as central seating. Don’t forget to look up as the ceilings are also quite beautiful to see. The entrance for the panoramic view area is near the main entrance and you don’t have to exit the basilica to access. Your choice on walking up the 304 steps or taking a lift to get to the third floor. A second lift gets you up to the panoramic area - there is a limit to four persons per car on that second lift. On the way back down, visit the Treasury for a break in those 304 steps. Enjoy!

Make sure you get tickets not just to go inside but up to the top. You can take a lift pretty much all the way up there and there are toilets also. I’d suggest going at night get an amazing view of the city lit up.

Visiting the Chain Bridge in Budapest was an unforgettable experience. Walking across this iconic bridge offers incredible views of the Danube River and the city’s stunning architecture. The bridge itself is impressive, with its historic design and beautiful details that make it perfect for photos. It is especially magical at sunset when the lights start to illuminate the city. The area around the bridge is lively and easy to explore on foot, making it a great spot for a stroll and taking in the atmosphere of Budapest. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city.

This wonderful bridge is definitely the most beautiful bridge of Budapest, symbol of the Hungary and an absolute must-see for any visitor. Connects Buda and Pest. From the bridge, you get perfect shots of the Buda Castle, the Hungarian Parliament, and the entire river panorama. The atmosphere after dark is magical

A special, impressive construction. It gives a special charm to the area and very interesting perspectives from both its ends but also along the pedestrian passage. Walking on the bridge allows you to capture some special images of Pest, Buda and the Danube.

The Chain Bridge in Budapest is truly one of the city’s most stunning landmarks! Walking across it during the day gives you a beautiful view of both Buda and Pest, but it’s at night when the bridge becomes absolutely magical. The whole structure glows with warm lights, reflecting beautifully on the Danube River and creating a breathtaking view of the illuminated Parliament and Buda Castle. The atmosphere feels peaceful yet full of life — perfect for an evening stroll or photos. Definitely one of the highlights of Budapest that shouldn’t be missed!

Beautiful bridge. Not much to say about it, it’s just great looking. Definitely worth a visit, I mean it’s in the centre and there are a lot of historic monuments nearby so yeah. Great bridge I guess.

I went here in October 2025. I really felt awesome looking it with the pink theme. Very nice and crowdy place. For a good feel and view should visit in the night time. This bridge is special because it connects all main locations.

The Széchenyi Chain Bridge is not just a bridge; it is the heart and soul of Budapest. Walking across this architectural masterpiece is an absolute must-do for any visitor. It perfectly connects the historic charm of Buda with the vibrant life of Pest, offering stunning views every step of the way.

The Shoes on the Danube Bank is one of the most moving and powerful memorials I’ve ever visited. It’s simple in design yet incredibly emotional, rows of iron shoes along the river remind us of the tragic fate of the Jews who were executed here during World War II. Standing in that spot, looking at the shoes with the Danube flowing beside them, you really feel the weight of history and loss. It’s a place of silence and reflection, not just a tourist stop. A must-visit in Budapest if you want to understand the city’s history on a deeper level.

Nice sobering view. It's lovely to see people respectfully taking photos and then moving aside for others to visit/take pics. NOTE: It can be challenging to access via scooter, you're better off walking down to the foreshore after parking your bike/scooter further up (lesson learnt!) ACCESSIBILITY: It is wheelchair and pram accessible and there are large sandstone blocks that people can sit/rest on.

Very moving and picturesque memorial on the beautiful bank of the Danube. Easily accessible by public transportation and free. Great opportunity to hang out by the great river and appreciate the long and sometimes sad history of this wonderful city.

Pretty impressive monument, a must see when in Budapest. You would likeness it as an art piece but it is actually a moving historical artifacts.

The memorial for the Jews taken to this spot during the Nazi occupation and shot by the locals and thrown into the Danube river. Public space. Always reachable. Must visit to remember our duty as human beings: be tolerant and respect others.

Sombre experience at this free to visit installation of historical significance. You can simply take a stroll along the Danube soaking in the views until you come across it. There are places to sit there as well.

The walk from our river boat was about 30 minutes along the Danube River. The path was not smooth with rocky terrain and uneven stones as well as metal grating. It was sad to see all the different shoes from men, women and children. It's impactful.

This is really an impressive building and worth of sightseeing from inside as well. They have prepared the guides in many languages which is very good so people or not limited to english only. It woould be better that the tour was a bit longer and probably more detailed but overall it was fine. Thr big remark goes to the price for entrance which is huge!

The Hungarian Parliament Building at night is breathtaking. As darkness settles over Budapest, the entire Gothic Revival masterpiece glows with a golden light that reflects across the Danube, creating a mirror image so perfect it feels dreamlike. Seen from the Buda side, the building dominates the skyline, every spire and arch illuminated with precision. The reflection rippling in the river gives the scene a kind of quiet grandeur that photographs never quite capture. Up close on the Pest side, the building feels even more impressive. The sheer scale, the intricate carvings, and the warm glow of the stone make it clear why it’s one of Europe’s architectural treasures. At night, the Parliament isn’t just a government seat—it’s a symbol of the country’s history, pride, and resilience, standing tall against the dark sky. The best time to visit is after sunset, when the crowds thin and the city slows down. Walk along the Danube promenade, pause on the Chain Bridge, or simply sit by the water and watch the lights flicker. It’s one of those views that remind you why travel matters: moments of stillness and awe that stay with you long after you’ve left.

One of the most beautiful buildings in Europe and an absolute must-see in Budapest. The architecture is stunning from every angle — day or night — but seeing it lit up in the evening is truly magical. The area around the Parliament is clean, safe and perfect for walking. You can enjoy the riverside view, take amazing photos and really feel the history of the city. Even if you don’t go inside for a tour, the exterior alone is worth the visit. If you can, go both during the day and at night — completely different vibe and both unforgettable.

One of the most magnificent buildings in all of Europe, pure architectural poetry on the banks of the Danube. The neo-Gothic spires, symmetry, and sheer scale are jaw-dropping, especially when seen from across the river or from a Danube night cruise. Up close, the craftsmanship is even more intricate, statues, arches, and details that feel almost unreal. It’s stunning by day but beyond magical at night, when it glows gold against the dark river. Tip: Skip the guided tour if short on time - the real magic is outside, especially at sunset from the opposite bank or from Fisherman’s Bastion.

The Hungarian Parliament Building is one of the most stunning landmarks in Europe. Built in a Neo-Gothic style with pointed towers and intricate details, it dominates the Danube’s riverside skyline. Even if you don’t go inside (the interior visit is paid), it’s absolutely worth admiring from the outside. For the best view, head to the Buda side — the sight of the Parliament reflecting on the river is simply unforgettable.

One of the most stunning structures I've seen. Incredibly beautiful. From all sides. From any distance. Top 1 in Budapest. The photos look unreal, but they're real!) I highly recommend a tour inside. It lasts about an hour. Available in different languages. You definitely need to book in advance for a specific time, because the number of spots is limited. You might wait a couple of hours if you don't book. This is an active government building, so there are security measures - you need to arrive at least 10-15 minutes before your scheduled time. Of course there are items that are prohibited from bringing inside. Regarding the parliament inside. Very atmospheric. A completely different style than the exterior. In my opinion there's too much gold) but it's definitely worth it

I didn’t go inside, but even from the outside, the Hungarian Parliament left me speechless! The architecture is absolutely stunning — elegant, powerful, and perfectly reflected on the Danube River. I could’ve stood there for hours just admiring the view. Especially during sunset, it feels like a dream. One of the most beautiful landmarks in Budapest, no doubt! 💛

Beautiful place up on the Buda side. The views are nice and it looks incredible when the lights go on at night. We did not go inside but admired the beautiful architecture from the outside. Definitely a must do when in town.

Fisherman’s Bastion is one of Budapest’s most enchanting landmarks. We visited during the day and returned at night, and both experiences were magical. By day, the Neo-Romanesque terraces frame sweeping views of the Danube and the Parliament building, perfect for photos. At night, the city lights transform the scene into something straight out of a storybook. The architecture is stunning: white stone towers, turrets, and archways that feel like a castle from a fantasy novel. It’s not just beautiful, it’s steeped in history, built to honor the guild of fishermen who defended this part of the city walls in the Middle Ages. The atmosphere is peaceful in the morning, with fewer crowds, and you can wander freely through the arches and balconies. At night, it’s more lively but still romantic, with illuminated spires and the Parliament glowing across the river. Tip: Go twice—daytime for clarity, nighttime for magic. Combine your visit with Matthias Church next door. Bring a camera; every angle is postcard-worthy. Arrive early for quiet moments and fewer tourists. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Fisherman’s Bastion is not just a viewpoint it’s an experience that captures the essence of Budapest’s beauty and history.

Simply gorgeous, I recommended walking there as well. The panoramic view. The place itself, especially at night is worth every step. It's really a nice experience to walk across the chain bridge to this castle.

Absolutely breathtaking views over the city. Also great to just walk around and see the old sites and fort and it can all be done for free too. You can also purchase tickets and pay extra to go inside the church and walk up the walls but we didn’t do this and it still sufficed

Amazing looking, the streets here look like a different world. The surrounding restaurants and stuff is a little bit more expensive than elsewhere so be prepared for that. You can see the whole of Budapest from here! No need to pay to go a level above on the lookout (it’s useless). Only thing sad is you have to pay to enter the church, but other than that it’s amazing.

The view is amazing! Can't say enough! Even on a cloudy day it was worth visiting. If you're visiting Budapest is truly a must. There are many steps but if you're going on Buda with a taxi you can ask the driver to drop you off at Matthias's church so no need to walk up all the stairs.

Fisherman’s Bastion is absolutely breathtaking! 🏰✨ The fairytale-style architecture, with its towers and arches, creates a magical atmosphere. The panoramic views over Budapest — especially of the Parliament and the Danube — are some of the best in the city. It’s a beautiful place to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the scenery. Truly a must-visit landmark! 🌟

Very cool castle. Unfortunately it was super foggy the day we visited, so we couldn’t enjoy the view, but it gave a nice mysterious vibe to the castle. The gardens are beautiful, and the inside as well. Nothing too special if you’ve visited other big castles in Europe, but I’d say it’s worth it of you have a couple of hours to spend

Perched on a hill overlooking the Danube, this white fortress offers the best panoramic views in the city. The museum inside is skippable unless you’re into Slovak political history - the real attraction is the gardens and views from the terrace. Sunset here is spectacular. Tip: Visit in the late afternoon and walk down via the old stone steps into the Old Town for dinner.

Definitely worth a visit. A real castle on the hill. You can walk to it from the city centre, taking around 20-30 minutes but it’s an uphill route. Although inside the castle, there’s not much to see, I still really like the view from the tower. You can also visit the castle from the outside in the evening as well.

Bratislava Castle is an absolutely stunning landmark that dominates the city skyline and offers breathtaking views of the Danube River. Its elegant white façade and four corner towers give it a majestic, timeless charm. Inside, the castle houses fascinating exhibitions about Slovak history and culture, beautifully presented in a modern yet respectful way. The surrounding gardens and courtyards are peaceful and well maintained, perfect for a quiet walk or photo stop. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or just enjoying a great panoramic view, Bratislava Castle is a must-visit destination that truly captures the spirit of Slovakia.

Bratislava Castle is absolutely worth the visit. The walk up is relaxing, and once you reach the top, the views over the city and the Danube are incredible. The castle itself is clean, well-kept, and full of history, but what I loved most was the peaceful atmosphere around the gardens and walls. It’s one of those places where you can take your time, enjoy the scenery, and really appreciate the city. A must-see when you’re in Bratislava!

It's a must do on your visit to the old town in Bratislava. The views are great. I suggest walking up to the castle first before going down to the town. Lovely manicured gardens.

The castle has great outsides and looks that has been maintained very well. Great to go walking or just outside coffee. The inside exhibitions at least from mi pov are very minimalistic. For the same price you can get to great exhibitions in other countries, at some point there were paintings but no info on it, I did Google lens to understand.

Went to see Gustav Klimt on exhibition and it was a wonderful experience to see his work alongside Monet, Van Gogh and Egon Schiele. The palace is easy to navigate and the exhibition was over 3 floors. I visited late 5pm before closing and it was not crowded. I got to see all the works up close and truly appreciate the details. Staff are very vigilant and protect the work from people standing too close, its also important to check sinage as its not permitted to take photos of all the work. I had a wonderful time exploring the grounds before sunset. Found bamboo in the botanical gardens. It was not so lush as we are at the end of autumn, but it is a marvellous palace nevertheless. There is a cafe with very attentive and kind staff, great coffee. We also were very lucky the xmas markets were on at the time. Some beautiful stalls with great artisanal items!

It was nice to visit this palace. In winter time it's not so lovely because of the gardens. There was a little Christmas Bazar where you can enjoy some wine and sweets. There was huge donuts and some traditional foods.

Belvedere Palace was built between 1714 and 1723 as the summer residence for Prince Eugene of Savoy.After his death,it was acquired by Maria Theresa and transformed into one of the world's first public museums.It has since been used for various purposes,including as a residence for the heir to the throne and most famously,as the location where the Austrian State Treaty was signed in 1955, officially declaring Austria's freedom. Additionally,it houses a significant collection of art,including the world's largest collection of works by Gustav Klimt, with his famous paintings "The Kiss",Monet and Vincent van Gogh. It was a very enjoyable visit that traveled me in time!!

The Belvedere is a wonderful choice for a stroll and for experiencing beauty. The park is very pleasant and inspires a positive outlook, and the museum itself is incredibly aesthetically pleasing. You can see wonderful paintings not only by Klimt but also by other artists, as well as sculptures. There are absolutely unique works of art, portraits, and still lifes that are every bit as good as the famous canvases. The Klimt hall is wonderful; I really enjoyed his landscapes! A wonderful place!

Amazing! The paintings and organisation of the museum is impressive, the collection of Gustav klimit is iconic. If you’re there to discover the palace as a historical place i don’t recommend since there is no rooms displayed. If you’re an art fanatic i recommend 3 hours.

Visiting Belvedere Palace in Vienna is a feast for the eyes, particularly if you appreciate grand architecture and historic structures. The palace itself is stunning, with intricate interiors and elegant layouts that make wandering through its halls a visual delight. Even with parts of the building under restoration, the charm and grandeur of the palace remain impressive. The exhibition, however, is less remarkable. While it has its moments, it doesn’t quite match the awe-inspiring atmosphere created by the palace and its architecture. Art lovers may enjoy it, but for those primarily seeking a “wow” factor, it may feel underwhelming. A practical note: the queues can be long, especially on weekends. Even if you buy tickets online, you may have to wait for a later slot; when we arrived, our online tickets only allowed entry three hours later. Planning ahead and booking well in advance is highly recommended. The gardens are fantastic and free to explore. Locals often jog, run, or just relax there, and it's lovely to see artists drawing or people chilling. Overall, the views and grounds make it worth avisit! Overall, Belvedere Palace is worth visiting for its architecture and historical appeal, but don’t set your expectations too high for the exhibitions.

I visited the Belvedere to experience the art of Gustav Klimt and to take in the stunning architecture and perfectly maintained gardens. The museum spans three floors, each offering something remarkable, from the magnificent Marble Hall, where the Austrian State Treaty was signed, to galleries filled with masterpieces from different eras. The highlight, of course, is Klimt’s The Kiss and Judith, along with several of his early works that show his artistic evolution. The atmosphere is both grand and intimate, you feel the history, the art, and the spirit of Vienna all in one place. Book your tickets in advance and stick to your time slot, as it can get busy. Give yourself time to explore the grounds, they’re as inspiring as the collection inside. A must-visit in Vienna. Highly recommended.

St. Stephen’s Cathedral rises like a medieval stone heartbeat in the very center of Vienna. Its Gothic spire, ribbed vaults, and stained-glass windows aren’t just architectural flourishes; they are the city’s compass and heartbeat. Every street in Vienna seems to spiral outward from here, as if the entire city were built around prayer. Inside, the air feels thick with centuries of pious devotion. The flicker of candles against cold stone, the scent of wax and incense, the hush of travelers and locals alike; it all combines into a kind of living liturgy. The cathedral isn’t just a monument to faith; it’s a place where belief, art, and history intertwine. Every carving and arch seems to whisper the same message: beauty is one of the purest ways to praise God. On Saturday evenings, when the bells call the faithful for the 7:00 PM English Mass, a golden light fills the nave as the sun sets behind the stained glass. Tourists pause, locals kneel, and the choir’s echo mingles with the organ’s thunder. It’s a deeply human moment, both intimate and grand — a reminder that Vienna’s soul is not found only in its cafés and concert halls, but here, in this cathedral that has watched over the city for nearly 900 years. A must-visit not just to see, but to feel. St. Stephen’s doesn’t merely stand at the center of Vienna. It is Vienna’s heart.❤️ Christmas celebration in full swing outside of the cathedral.

I visited St. Stephen's Cathedral from the outside, and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. The architecture of the cathedral is impressive, and the streets and squares nearby are full of charm, cafes, and shops. It’s a perfect spot for sightseeing and taking photos. I really enjoyed walking around and soaking in the lively atmosphere of the area .

This cathedral is absolutely stunning. The architecture, both inside and out, is breathtaking. Right beside it, an early Christmas market was happening with adorable stalls. The interior is a true work of art. At night, it transformed into what looked like a massive haunted castle, haha!

The cathedral is a magnificent piece of architecture and a sight to behold. My strong personal critique, however, is the commercialization of the space. Requiring payment for entry into the main sections creates a barrier that I feel is fundamentally opposed to Christian teachings. A church should be a place where anyone, regardless of their financial means, can enter to pray and connect with God.

I have to say that I was really excited to visit St. Stephen’s Cathedral. I had seen it in pictures, on Instagram, everywhere, and seeing it in person was such a beautiful, emotional moment. The cathedral is stunning from the inside out. We bought our tickets the same day; you cannot buy tickets online, so you need to go directly to the ticket area. If you want to go to the top of the cathedral, there are two options: • South Tower – You must climb around 300 steps. It’s very high and can be exhausting. • North Tower – This is the one we chose. It actually has a better view, including a 360° view, and you can take the elevator, which is definitely nicer. We also visited the dungeons, and that was fascinating. You see cadavers that have been there since the 1500s (or around that time). They give you a guided tour that explains how people were buried and the history of the underground cemetery. It’s very interesting, I won’t spoil too much, but I definitely recommend it. We didn’t do the full church tour because when we arrived, they were having Mass, and we didn’t want to wait. Plus, after going up the tower in the cold, we were already a bit tired. So just be prepared, going to the top can be draining, especially if you’re an introvert. We’re both introverts, and we were completely drained afterwards. But honestly, the cathedral itself is breathtaking. It’s hard to believe something so massive and detailed was built so long ago. I really can’t even explain how incredible it is, you just have to see it for yourself. One thing I liked is that everything is done on the same day, and you don’t have to worry about online bookings. You can explore one part of the cathedral and come back another day to do the rest, if you want. We didn’t, but it’s an option. We bought two tickets: • one for the underground cemetery tour • one for the North Tower (highly recommend this one!) I also recommend doing the official church tour because it gives you the full history, when it was built, who built it, and all the important details. I kind of regret not doing that. Overall, I highly recommend visiting St. Stephen’s Cathedral. I don’t have many pictures because I really wanted to take everything in with my own eyes and enjoy the moment. If you go, do the same,or have someone else take photos for you,because the experience goes by too fast. And you don’t want to miss it by staring at your phone.

St. Stephen’s Cathedral is a stunning Gothic masterpiece and a must-see in Vienna. I booked my ticket through GetYourGuide, which was convenient and easy. You need to claim the actual ticket at the Dom Museum Wien next to the cathedral before entry, so it’s best to go a few minutes early. The cathedral’s interior, towers, and views are breathtaking — rich in history and atmosphere. Worth the visit!

Absolutely stunning. The architecture is breathtaking. Highly recommend getting the all inclusive pass for €25. The catacombs tour was fantastic and the views from both towers are stunning!

This area is good to explore. It hosts Stephenskriche-church and this church is beautiful. You can get into the church & lit candles & pray. This is one of the most visited place in Vienna, so in summer, this will be crowded with tourists. You can explore this area as you like it- do shopping, eat good, or just explore cultural capital. You can also buy Gustav Klimt’s paintings, Austrian silver jewellery, Austrian liquor and sweets. I love to stroll around this place in mornings when crowd is less. This is easily accessible through metro, and is very safe.

Beautiful and iconic place! A must-visit in Vienna — stunning architecture and great atmosphere both day and night. Perfect spot for photos and exploring the city center.

The heart of Vienna. There's a buzz around with both locals and tourists. With the Christmas stalls and lights there was a truly festive feel to the square. And so safe.

The Stephansdom (St. Stephen's Cathedral) that sits at the center of this busy square was packed with tourists on a weekday afternoon. However, it's an impressive Gothic cathedral and worth the visit. You don't need to spend more than 1/2 hour here. For me, that was plenty. Don't miss some of the interesting exterior motifs of skulls and crossbones; I don't know why those are there, but it's a good question to ask your tour guide, if you happened to splurge for one.

The heart (Center) of the city of Vienna, a beautiful church, buildings and general architecture, a great selection of coffee shops with desserts, as well as quality clothing stores

Our Christmas tour with Ring Tours Vienna was unforgettable! We saw the entire city and all the beautiful Christmas markets. Look for the pink Oldtimer car — the guide there is the best! We loved the free mulled wine and Christmas cookies, and the pickup service from any location made everything so easy. Make sure to buy your tickets in advance. Thank you, Ring Tours Vienna, for such a special experience!

It's a small Christmas market right in front of St. Stephen's Cathedral. The sausages I ate there were topped with extras, so they were tastier than those I've had elsewhere. And there are always a lot of people.

We had a wonderful day exploring Schönbrunn Palace and its beautiful gardens! The place is enormous, so expect to spend almost the entire day walking around, discovering its stunning architecture, elegant interiors, and rich history. There are plenty of benches outside where you can rest, have a picnic, or simply people-watch. The gardens are incredibly lovely and very well-maintained, and the entire area is so organized that you’ll enjoy exploring no matter which part you visit. There’s also a children’s museum, zoo, mazes, cafés, restaurants, and more! We especially enjoyed the short hike up to the Gloriette for a breathtaking view of the palace grounds. A definite must-see when in Vienna!

I was only outside as I was interested in thr Christmas market . There were alcohol free options and vegan as well. Market entry was Free, however, the special light garden git an try fee of 24 Euros , 99 percent wheelchair accessible. There was one feature where to see fully you had to go upstairs, otherwise everywhere you could roll.

It was my first visit to Schönbrunn Palace in 47 years, and its magnificent scenery was as wonderful as ever as a symbol of the Habsburg dynasty. The lavish decorations inside the palace and the splendor of the gardens are as magnificent as ever, demonstrating the majesty of a World Heritage Site that is worth revisiting. Walking around the vast gardens, I was reminded of its grandeur and splendor. The splendid decorations and paintings inside the palace are also worth seeing.

You need to explore all the places so a classic plus ticket is recommended for 75 euros, this will cover all the gardens, zoo, terrace, and the palace. This will be a long trip and you need to rest between them so I'd recommend to start your trip at 10 a.m. to finish it at 5 p.m. I strongly recommend to buy your tickets online becuase there was a very long line. I will leave you with the images to rate the experience 😊

Must visit experience with good audio guide cost included in the ticket. The beautiful gardens beside the palace add to the charm of it and the grandeur of the palace is amazing. We had a great time at the Christmas market setup right outside the palace in early November.

This spot is heaven on earth. I was excited to catch the early Christmas market in the palace gardens, so many great food stalls and adorable Christmas goodies shops! The evening ambiance with all the lights was simply stunning. A truly enchanting and memorable experience.

The Palace is absolutely stunning! The architecture is magnificent, and the gardens surrounding the palace are beautifully designed and very spacious. Walking through the grounds, you can enjoy fountains, sculptures, and perfectly maintained flower beds. The area around the palace is full of charm and offers great spots for photos. Visiting Schönbrunn Palace is a truly unforgettable experience and a must-see when in Vienna.

Beautiful abbey with impressive architecture and history. Guided tours are available in various languages. I especially love the view from the top and the library was also beautiful. Would recommend visiting!

We never to a chance to visit the Abbey from the inside, however just stopping by and looking at it from the outside is amazing. The size of the Abbey will really surprise you. You can get a good view from the outside with space to quickly park and take some few pics. Definitely worth looking.

Veru nice place. Use parking on top, it’s payed, but close to entrance (4€ for 2,5 hours). Church is really nice and good looking. Nice views spot. Best for me was garden. Not that huge but so many places to see, perfect experience. Enjoy your time here.

It is absolutely stunning—both inside and out. Perched above the town and overlooking the Danube River, it offers incredible panoramic views that are worth the visit alone. But the real highlight is the abbey itself: an architectural masterpiece with a rich history dating back over 900 years. The baroque design is jaw-dropping, especially the church interior with its gold accents, frescoed ceilings, and ornate detailing. The library is another gem—beautiful, historic, and filled with ancient manuscripts. The museum exhibits are thoughtfully curated and give great insight into the Abbey’s religious and cultural significance. The grounds and gardens are peaceful and beautifully maintained, perfect for a quiet stroll after touring the interior. Highly recommended if you're traveling through the Wachau Valley—Melk Abbey is a must-see that combines culture, beauty, and a sense of timelessness. Give yourself at least 2–3 hours to explore everything at a relaxed pace. If you have more time, stroll the narrow old town streets and enjoy street foods and coffee. With all combined, this destination makes a perfect day trip solution from Vienna

Beautiful abbey, library and interesting exposition. But, to my taste, library was the most spectacular of them all. Definitely worse the detour for couple of hours - we visited it on our way from Salzburg to Vienna. There is a parking right at the abbey, so if your gps , like ours will be a bit confused - just continue to the main entrance of the abbey. Melk itself is a nice little town with a picturesque surroundings and little centre with narrow streets. Driving I’d not rate as a pleasure, but bearable 😊

Huge comple need a week to see it all. Wonderful views og Melk Village from Balcony. Amazing Library tens thousands of books from 11 th Century.

A very impressive place to visit. The monastery stands out for its scale and beautiful views over the Danube. The library was the highlight for me — a unique atmosphere, ancient books, and stunning frescoes. The church also leaves a strong impression, with its grandeur and attention to detail. The terrace offers a great view — it’s nice to just pause for a moment and take it all in. Everything is well-organized: parking, clear signs, a cafe and a shop. It’s best to visit when there are fewer people — the place feels completely different then.

A beautiful place with an amazing view from the top of the tower, you can see the whole center of Cesky Krumlov and the castle with it's tower from a different angle. Timber rafts have been an important part of Cesky Krumlov’s history, having transported primarily materials in the past and now passengers. The small timber rafting museum is situated inside of St. Josh Church and is an incredible experience to visit.

This nice-looking church fits very well into the local romantic landscape.

(Translated by Google) Hospital for the sick and poor with the church of St. Jošta was founded around 1330 by Peter I of Rožmberk. In the years 1594-1599, the original church was rebuilt by the architect Dominik Cometta and a new tower was built at the same time. The new church was dedicated to the Holy Trinity and Petr Vok dedicated it to Krumlov Protestants. Originally, he planned to build a family tomb in the church, but in the end it failed and Petr Vok was buried in the family tomb in the monastery in Vyšší Brod. After his death, the church was returned to the Catholics and rededicated in the name of St. Still. In 1765, the tower was still modified in the Baroque style, but already in 1788, as part of the reforms of Emperor Joseph II. canceled and gradually rebuilt into a residential building. The hospital existed here until 1922. Today, the view is accessible from the church tower corridor, and even though the building is located lower than the castle tower, it is worth climbing the stairs - you have the Lateran, the Inner City, Lazebnický bridge, Parkán, as well as the southern part of the castle complex, as if in the palm of your hand.

V roce 1765 byla ještě barokně upravena věž, ale už v roce 1788 byl kostel v rámci reforem císaře Josefa II. zrušen a postupně přestavěn na obytný dům. Špitál tu existoval až do roku 1922. Dnes je přístupná vyhlídka z ochozu kostelní věže a i když je stavba umístěna níže než zámecká věž, stojí za to vystoupat schodiště - jako na dlani máte Latrán, Vnitřní město, Lazebnický most, Parkán, ale i jižní část zámeckého komplexu.

(Translated by Google) Church of St. Jošta is located in the historic center of Český Krumlov, not far from the Vltava River and the castle grounds. It was founded in the 14th century as part of a hospital for the sick and pilgrims, which was established by the Rosenberg family. Originally a Gothic building, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 18th century. After the church was abolished in 1787 by Josef II. the building served various purposes – as a theater, apartments or a museum. The church has preserved many original architectural elements, including a tower with a baroque miner. Church of St. Jošta is a unique example of the transformation of a sacred building into a cultural space and reminds of the rich history and changing functions of historical buildings in the center of Český Krumlov. (Original) Kostel sv. Jošta se nachází v historickém centru Českého Krumlova, nedaleko Vltavy a zámeckého areálu. Byl založen ve 14. století jako součást špitálu pro nemocné a poutníky, který zřídil rod Rožmberků. Původně gotická stavba byla v 18. století přestavěna v barokním stylu. Po zrušení kostela v roce 1787 Josefem II. sloužil objekt různým účelům – jako divadlo, byty nebo muzeum. Kostel si zachoval mnoho původních architektonických prvků, včetně věže s barokní bání. Kostel sv. Jošta je unikátní ukázkou proměny sakrální stavby v kulturní prostor a připomíná bohatou historii a měnící se funkce historických budov v centru Českého Krumlova.

(Translated by Google) While visiting Český Krumlov, you will come across the St. Jost Church, which attracts attention with its historical texture, on the banks of the Vltava River. Built in the 14th century, this structure was used as a chapel attached to the castle hospital. It was later converted into a church and named after St. Jost, who was considered the protector of travelers and patients in the Middle Ages. It is not an active church today; its interior is generally closed to visitors, but its exterior architecture and location are quite impressive. This small but historical structure, built with a combination of Gothic and Baroque architecture, is definitely worth seeing, even though it is overshadowed by the more well-known tourist attractions in the city. There is a wonderful view from right in front of the church, where you can fit the castle tower, the Vltava River and the red-roofed houses of the town into the same frame. With the light in the early morning or close to sunset, this area turns into a postcard. (Original) Český Krumlov’u gezerken Vltava Nehri kıyısında, tarihi dokusuyla dikkat çeken St. Jost Kilisesi karşınıza çıkacak. 14. yüzyılda inşa edilen bu yapı, zamanında şato hastanesine bağlı bir şapel olarak kullanılmış. Daha sonra kiliseye dönüştürülmüş ve adını, Orta Çağ’da yolcuların ve hastaların koruyucusu kabul edilen Aziz Jost’tan almış. Bugün aktif bir kilise değil; içi ziyarete genellikle kapalı, ancak dış mimarisi ve bulunduğu konum oldukça etkileyici. Gotik ve barok mimarinin birleşimiyle yapılmış bu küçük ama tarihi yapı, şehirdeki daha bilinen turistik yerlerin gölgesinde kalsa da kesinlikle görülmeye değer. Kilisenin hemen önünden şato kulesi, Vltava Nehri ve kasabanın kırmızı çatılı evlerini aynı kareye sığdırabileceğiniz harika bir manzara var. Sabah erken saatlerde veya gün batımına yakın ışıkla birlikte bu alan adeta bir kartpostala dönüşüyor.

The hospital provided basic provisions for the sick and poor inhabitants of the city. In the years 1594 - 1599, the original church was rebuilt by the architect Dominik Cometta and a new tower was built at the same time. (Original) Špitál s kostelem sv. Jošta založil kolem roku 1330 krumlovský vladař Petr I. z Rožmberka. Špitál poskytoval základní zaopatření pro nemocné a chudé obyvatele města. V letech 1594 - 1599 byl architektem Dominikem Comettou původní kostel přestavěn a současně vybudována nová věž.

"A Medieval Gem with Breathtaking Views" The Český Krumlov Castle is truly one of the most enchanting places in the Czech Republic. The combination of medieval fortress, Renaissance and Baroque architecture, and the charming old town below makes it feel like stepping back in time. The castle grounds are vast and full of surprises — from courtyards and historic halls to the beautiful castle tower with its colorful facade. Climbing the tower is absolutely worth it for the panoramic view over Český Krumlov’s red rooftops and winding river — it’s picture-perfect. The castle gardens are also lovely for a peaceful stroll, especially in spring and summer. Guided tours of the interior give fascinating insight into the history of the noble families who lived here, and the preservation of the rooms is impressive. Even if you don’t take a tour, just wandering the grounds and soaking up the atmosphere is an unforgettable experience. A must-visit when in South Bohemia — magical, historic, and full of charm.

Cesky Krumlov it is the most romantic place in the Czech Republic, you can visit it both in summer and winter during the holidays. The castle is huge and offers a great view of the city. On the waterfront there are many very picturesque restaurants where you can eat well.

A large castle, that was built originally in the early 1300's and later rebuilt in renessaince ans baroque styles. Really beautiful and amazing, the only negative thing is that you have to buy several tickets if you want to see everything, as there is no combined ticket. You can visit the courtyards for free. The museum and the tower is possible to visit without guide but to the rooms of the castle there are only guided rooms - but definitely worth going. Great views to the town from the tower! Don't miss this while in town!

A beautiful gem of the Czech Republic. We fell in love with this city at first sight. It's so much fun to walk around its picturesque streets, sail on the river and just feel like you're in a magical fairy tale.

A beautiful and interesting castle in the Czech Republic. It has a long history that stimulates my curiosity, too. If Prague is one of the most popular places to visit in the Czech Republic, then this place might be the most beautiful and impressive.

If anything, the views of the town are what I would go back for again. Just surreal. Makes you think about how life was for the citizens of those days. The air is filled with the moisture and freshness of the running river; not to mention the sound of it flowing. Magical place. Go early in the morning, before the tour buses from Prague arrive.

Well worth a visit to this UNESCO site. Some good restaurants and good beer too all at reasonable prices. Be prepared for some long walks but there is plenty to see especially the castle built into the rock. Some splendid views too. However, I was not impressed by the bears kept in a pit!

Super

(Translated by Google) Wonderful I bought the tour in advance for 16 euros With more than 1h30m of explanations about the construction of the factory and the beginning of the production of pilsner beer It was worth every penny The tasting of just one glass of the unpasteurized beer that will serve as the basis for large-scale production I recommend the store at the end of the tour for unforgettable memories and also to taste the beers ready for consumption (Original) Maravilhosa Comprei o tour antecipado pagando 16 euros Com mais de 1h30m de explicações acerca da construção da fábrica e início da fabricação da cerveja pilsen Valeu cada centavo A degustação de um copo apenas da cerveja não pasteurizada que servirá de base pra produção de larga escala Recomendo a loja no fim do tour para lembranças inesquecíveis e tbem degustar as cervejas já prontas pro consumo

(Translated by Google) Until 2004, the brewery's water 💦 was stored in this tower. The water is pumped up from a depth of 100 meters and used for the pilsner. (Original) Bis 2004 wurde das Brauerei Wasser 💦 in diesem Turm gespeichert. Aus 100 Metern Tiefe wird das Wasser hochgepumpt und für das Pils benutzt.

(Translated by Google) This over 400-year-old unique building has a beautiful Gothic portal. It was built in 1541 and was used until 1889, when a municipal water supply network was established in Pilzno. Until then, it powered four fountains in the corners of the square. The water tower operated on the principle of continuous vessels. The tower formed a continuous vessel with a fountain and a spring on the hill, which forced water into the fountains, often from quite a distance. The underground part of the building is currently part of an underground tourist route. The above-ground part serves as a multifunctional space with a contemporary art gallery and a museum dedicated to an important Pilsen family - Škoda. (Original) Ta ponad 400-letnia unikatowa budowla posiada ładny gotycki portal. Została zbudowana w 1541 roku i była użytkowana do 1889 roku, kiedy to w Pilźnie utworzono miejską sieć wodociągową. Do tego czasu zasilano z niego cztery fontanny w rogach placu. Wieża ciśnień działała na zasadzie naczyń ciągłych. Wieża tworzyła ciągłe naczynie z fontanną i źródłem na wzgórzu, dzięki czemu wtłaczała wodę do fontann, często z dość dużej odległości. Podziemna część budynku jest obecnie częścią podziemnej trasy turystycznej. Część nadziemna pełni funkcję wielofunkcyjnej przestrzeni, w której znajduje się galeria sztuki współczesnej oraz muzeum poświęcone ważnej rodzinie pilzneńskiej - Škody.

(Translated by Google) A very nice experience. Much of the history tour lasts about an hour. The presentation is indeed done at a high level and professionally. You will also visit the old part of the new one. And the best is the underground which is really big. And at the end, of course, a tasting of unfiltered Pilsen, which matures in underground barrels. And be sure to visit the souvenir shop. (Original) Veľmi pekný zážitok . Veľa z histórie prehliadka trvá cca hodinu . Prezentácia je ozaj spravená na úrovni a profesionálne .

A určite navštívte aj predajnu suvenírov .
