Lovely spot — surprisingly not too crowded during our visit. This open medieval square offers a refreshing change of pace in a city that can sometimes feel a bit tight and busy. A peaceful breath of fresh air, both literally and figuratively.

Visiting during Christmas as just like you own this place! No tourist. Only few people hanging around in the perfect weather. The church is really interesting inside with no fee to entrance.

Enchanting Piazza - criss crossed many times for few days got to see different shades of beauty every time. Peaceful, warm with lovely heritage around.

The Santo Stefano square in Bologna is a place of 7 churches and it has historical significance due to this. A serene place to visit and enjoy the architecture and spiritual environment of churches. Also, you can get food for affordable prices near this square. In Italian, the 7 churches are known as Sette Chiese in Piazza Santo Stefano.

Its cute and nice. Its a minute walk from centre but its so quiet. Very italian. Very beautiful. The piazza in front is good if u just want to chill. Very glowy also

Beautiful Piazza with loads of restaurants. Safe but can be noisy late into the night on Weekends.

Great place, Must see in Bologna. Seven churches - free admission, journey through ages. Square itself is a place to greet and fest graduations. Fun to observe.

Beautifully restored towers in central bologna - monumental of Bologna’s history. The towers served as status symbols, and the city once had 80 to 180 towers as people competed to outdo one another in status.

Impressive historical landmarks in the heart of Bologna. The taller tower, Asinelli, offers a breathtaking panoramic view if you're up for the 498-step climb. The smaller, Garisenda, leans dramatically and adds to the charm. A must-see for anyone visiting the city!

The Two Towers of Bologna (Le Due Torri) – A must-see landmark in Bologna! Standing tall in the heart of the city, the towers are not only impressive but also full of history. Walking around them gives you a true sense of medieval Bologna. Truly iconic and worth the visit!

97m tall tower build in year 1119. Still standing 👍 At this moment the inside is closed. The smaller tower is really lean strongly to the side.

Le Due Torri are impossible to miss and even harder to stop staring at. Rising at a dramatic tilt over the heart of Bologna, the Asinelli and the leaning Garisenda towers feel like something out of a medieval fantasy; tall, weathered, and slightly defiant against the modern city buzzing below. They're not just symbols of Bologna; they are Bologna, standing watch over centuries of change. Even from the ground, they carry a sense of mystery and gravity that makes you pause and look up; just like everyone else passing by.

We had seen the Two Towers on Rick Steve's show and wanted to take a look while in Bologna on our trek through Europe. The towers were easy to find. Google maps brought us right to them. The construction on the streets around the towers as well as the tower project made it difficult to get good pictures. We could see pretty well but so much chaos going on and it was very loud...we moved along promptly.

Absolutely beautiful tourist attraction, a lot of history. Unfortunately climbing up wasnt an option as it got closed when I went to visit a week ago.

The piazza is truly a beautiful place to visit, showcasing stunning architecture. Throughout the square, one can feel the weight of history, which is quite impressive. The feeling of being surrounded by such a historic setting is an unforgettable experience. The piazza offers a unique and immersive journey into the past. Overall, it's a truly remarkable destination.

Piazza Maggiore is the main square of Bologna, Italy — and one of the country’s most iconic public spaces. Located in the heart of the historic center, it has been Bologna’s political, social, and cultural hub since the 13th century. Basilica di San Petronio – A massive, unfinished Gothic church dedicated to Saint Petronius, Bologna’s patron saint. It’s one of the largest brick churches in the world. Palazzo d’Accursio (or Palazzo Comunale) – Once the seat of Bologna’s government, now home to the Morandi Museum and the city hall. Palazzo del Podestà and Palazzo Re Enzo – Medieval buildings from the 13th century, when Bologna was an independent commune. Palazzo dei Banchi – A beautiful 16th-century portico closing off the eastern side of the square, connecting to the old market streets.

Such an amazing piazza with lots to see. The duomo, the statue, the tower and many on. Also if you are looking for the 7 secrets of bologna, one of them is here. The whispering walls. Its a funny and weird experience and you should definitely try it

A beautiful and vibrant city center with a perfect blend of history, culture, and modern charm. The magnificent Neptune sculpture stands proudly as a centerpiece, surrounded by elegant architecture and lively public spaces. The nearby library adds a touch of intellectual and cultural richness, making it a pleasant area to explore and relax. Everything is within easy walking distance — from charming cafés and local boutiques to upscale shopping destinations such as Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Bottega Veneta. Whether you’re here for sightseeing, shopping, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, this area offers an enjoyable and well-balanced urban experience

Beautiful big piazza in the heart of Bologna. The Basilica is also in the square which is also worth visiting. It has the longest indoor meridian in the world, dating back to the 1600's.

Great central square and public space used to great effect, every evening i was there, a stage was set with speakers talking about future possibilities, and last night an italian classic covering themes like poverty, innocence, friendship from the viewpoint of a young boy. I believe there is a free movie every evening until end of August. Over 500 seats were taken which shows people have an appetite to use pubic spaces in creative ways, well done bologna!

The nightlife in this pizza was unbelievable! We were there at 12:00 am and the live music was still going on with a good crowd and didn't seem it's going to go down anytime soon! Beautiful, big piazza with good vibes and plenty steps to sit on and chill.

A very impressive castle surrounded by the greenest water I’ve ever seen. Located just at the entrance of Ferrara medieval beautiful down town. What makes it more perfect is that it is absolutely free of charge, no entrance fee, no packed tourists. Just for you to enjoy it by yourself…

The castle it’s absolutely stunning! I am surprised that this is not known even more to general public. Everything about it is amazing! Worth stopping by for a one day.

Haven't been inside the castle but the exterior leaves you with the impression of time travel, exquisitely maintained.

neat castle, layout and history. Fun tour, great veiws of Ferrara from the top of the tower. The frescos the are left are great. some have incredible detail.

A moated medieval castle in the center of Ferrara, northern Italy. It consists of a large block with four corner towers.

Every city or town has its iconic monuments, etc. I like to visit small towns instead of big cities. Ferrara is a unique, small town.

Impressive castle right in the center of Ferrara — surrounded by a moat and full of history.

Despite what many believe, Juliet was not a real historical person. This house once belonged to the Cappello family — a name that inspired Shakespeare’s “Capulet.” The famous balcony was added centuries later to recreate the feeling of the legendary love story of Romeo and Juliet. Still, the place has an undeniable charm. Visitors come from all over the world to leave love notes, touch Juliet’s statue for luck, and feel the spirit of romance that Verona is famous for. A must-see, even if the story is a beautiful myth. ❤️

If you are a fan of the immortal story of two lovers, then you must visit Juliet's house. The house is constantly besieged by tourists, so think carefully about when you want to visit (preferably in the morning). I personally like the collection of artworks in the house, and the original wall paintings are also impressive. I recommend that everyone who visits the house also visit Romeo's home. It is completely overlooked, and only rarely do tourists stop at the memorial plaque on the site where his home once stood.

Still, this place has sadly lost some of its romance. The inner courtyard is flooded with crowds – noise, long lines to touch Juliet’s statue, and cameras flashing from every direction. There’s little real romance left; it feels more like a tourist ritual than a place of love. The museum is interesting to visit, with Juliet’s statue and a few authentic details, but you’ll feel the true spirit of Verona much more while wandering through its charming streets than standing amidst the crowds.

Casa di Giulietta in Verona is a romantic landmark linked to Shakespeare’s Juliet. The 13th-century house features a charming balcony said to inspire the famous scene from _Romeo and Juliet_. Visitors leave love notes on its walls, making it a symbol of timeless passion and literary enchantment. By the way it is very crowded.

Paying the ticket to see the house is much better than the experience outside. Even in low season was completely crowded to the point that the statue looked even nervous herself. There is the same statue inside the house with no crowd, and from the house you can take a picture from the balcony. Staff is kind of rude

This was a tourist trap. The balcony is way small and only 2 persons can fit. We did not visit the inside of the house because of the reviews on Google saying that it was nothing special. The yard was ok and we got to take pictures of the statue of Juliete and the wall of letters. There was a shop nearby that could costumise everything you wanted to by that was nice. The store inside the house has only overpriced magnets and pens for tourists.

Wow every romantic person women ,man or couple need to visit this place and even if you not into romantic things definitely take your partner there is famous balcony spirit is still there for 2 people who love eachother but can't be toghtether is nice fairy tale and you need to be part of it, try get there in the morning when is less busy and dont forget Mark pen to write down something on wall

📍 Piazza delle Erbe – Verona, Italy 🇮🇹 One of Verona’s most vibrant squares 🌟, surrounded by historic buildings, frescoed facades 🎨, and lively cafés ☕. Once a Roman forum, today it’s full of market stalls 🛍️ selling souvenirs, fruits, and local goods. The square is always bustling 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ with both locals and tourists, giving it a lively atmosphere day and night. A great place to sit with a drink 🍹, people-watch, and soak in the heart of Verona’s old town. 🙌

Great Piazza. Market stalls most days with plenty to choose from. Restaurants along one side so great if thirsty or hungry. Historic buildings all around. Well worth the visit

Piazza delle Erbe is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric squares in all of Italy. Surrounded by elegant palaces, medieval towers, and richly decorated façades, it feels like stepping back in time. The square has been the beating heart of Verona since the Roman era, once serving as the city’s forum, and today it still pulses with life from morning to night. The architecture is breathtaking — from the frescoed façades of the Mazzanti Houses to the Baroque Palazzo Maffei with its statues of classical gods. Every corner seems to tell a story of centuries gone by, blending Roman, medieval, and Renaissance influences seamlessly. That said, it is incredibly crowded, especially during peak hours. Tour groups, market stalls, and cafés all compete for space, so be prepared for a lively (and sometimes overwhelming) atmosphere. Still, even with the crowds, the energy of the square only adds to its charm. If you’re visiting Verona, Piazza delle Erbe is absolutely unmissable. Come early in the morning or later in the evening if you want a quieter experience, but at any time of day, it’s a stunning place to soak in history, architecture, and authentic Italian life.

I truly enjoyed strolling through Piazza delle Erbe, Verona’s oldest square. It’s a vibrant blend of history and daily life—once a Roman forum, now surrounded by medieval buildings, frescoed facades, and lively cafés. The square hosts bustling markets and iconic monuments like the Colonna di San Marco and Fontana di Madonna Verona. The atmosphere was fantastic, and it was a real pleasure to take in all the beautiful historic architecture.

Piazza delle Erbe is a truly beautiful square. It's lined with a row of stunning buildings, with the most magnificent of all—Palazzo Maffei—standing proudly at one end. In the center, you'll find the impressive Madonna Fountain of Verona and a bustling bazaar full of life. The edges of the square are dotted with charming-looking restaurants, shops and cafés. We didn’t eat there ourselves, though, as the square was quite crowded with fellow tourists. That said, we did find a few quieter corners along the edges, perfect for sitting back and watching people pass by—it was quite entertaining!

A beautiful square that feels big but still quite cozy. In my opinion, it’s definitely more interesting than the large one by the Arena. From here you’ve got direct access to Juliet’s house, plus plenty of nice restaurants, narrow streets, and cafés all around. The atmosphere is fantastic – you could wander here all day.

Unassuming plaza with statues and fountains surrounded by beautiful buildings from times gone past. Several street cafes offering food and drink at reasonable prices. A great place for people watching and soaking up the atmosphere re.

The hall is just immense, especially the height and considering when it was built. A must-see when in the area. The loggia allows beautiful views over the surrounding area.

A must see building by the famous Andrea Palladio. There was an interesting exhibition about an architecture prize when we visited. We didn’t find the way to the highest level but the views to the centre were nice already from the first floor.

Impressive Renaissance building by architect Andrea Palladio who did not see its completion in 1614. The double loggia (arched gallery) in white marble wraps around an older Gothic structure from the mid 15th century. It functioned as a court of law and has a marvellous slender and tall clock tower

Nice, plain architecture with a beautiful terrace looking over the main square of the city. It's a shame that you have to get an additional ticket for different exhibitions to see the inside of the building.

We bought the Vincenza pass ( 4 places ) and used it for the Basilica as one of our stop, will worth it, some lovely roof top views and an exhibition too

The Basilica Palladiana is Vicenza’s architectural showstopper—and heck, its best selfie spot. It’s history in haute couture: elegant, bold, and endlessly influential. Marvel at its facades, sip on the rooftop, and let the limestone loggias whisper stories of civic pride and Renaissance flair into your soul. Renaissance done right, darling.

Palladian Basilica is a building that tries very hard to impress. Columns, arches, everything is decorous and noble, just like “an architectural classic for a textbook”. But, to be honest, don’t expect revelations inside: it’s more like a huge stone hint that they once knew how to build beautifully and on a grand scale here. Palladian Basilica is a classic of the genre: architectural grandeur plus a modern bonus in the form of a ticket office at the entrance. Yes, yes, Andrea Palladio probably dreamed that his creation would be perceived centuries later as “another expense item on vacation”. It’s beautiful inside, no doubt, but you feel like you’re not in a temple of architecture, but in a “pay-and-see” museum. As a result, you get a symbiosis: the spirit of the Renaissance and a light aroma of commerce. Well, art also wants to eat.

Very impressive theater. The tour through the museum lasts about 15-30 minutes depending on how much you want to read. If there’s a concert or something similar while you’re staying in Vicenza, I recommend booking a ticket to experience the theater in action. During summer it’s very hot (there‘s no AC).

We saw a Bach concert that suited this Andrea Palladio masterpiece theatre very well. As it’s a protected building only few changes have been made and we didn’t see any bar, but didn’t miss it either as there was no intermission. The seats are quite uncomfortable but acceptable in a heritage building like this one. The play with spatial illusions makes the scene very dramatic and special.

It may be over 400 years old but the Teatro Olimpico remains stunning and immensely practical. The stage set including the streets laid out in perfect perspective must have added to the theatrical experience and captivated and enthralled audiences. You can't go on the stage so you have to make do with a scale model made from Lego to appreciate the technique. Pure genius from the master classical architect Palladio. We bought the Vicenza Silver Card for free admission to four of the top tourist sites. This is one of the best.

Exceptional. The fact that the theatre exists largely as-is from the 16th century and the visual effect of the theater backdrop simulating loooong streets leave one stare in awe. If in the area, a must-see!

All of Vicenza is beautiful and one of our favourite places in Italy. But this theatre... Is... AMAZING! Yes it's not very big, but if you get your tickets as part of a multi attraction pass it is very cheap. The theatre itself is incredible and has the original set pieces from its creation which make an optical illusion. There is a free audio guide which gives a great insight. No photo can do it justice. The seats are original wood from the 1500's... So be careful of catching your pants on a nail or splinter. Also. You will NEED to use the small stairs, on either end or the centre to move up and down the seating. The staff get very upset about you stomping down the seating given its age.

Well worth a visit, they gave us a scan code for a 20 minute audio which was good. Certainly should visit if you have time in Vicenza.

Amazing place, definitely worth a visit in Vicenza. We were with a small child and a dog in our arms, but the staff was kind and everything went well

You can get English or Italian audio guide to the museum which locates downstairs of a bar. The layout of the display cabinets were a bit confusing but the audios were very detailed. It was interesting and worth spending part of the afternoon there. After the museum, I suggest the outdoor seating at the bar because it has one of the most stunning views of River Brenta from there.

You can buy the tickets in the cafeteria and visit the museum downstairs to learn about the history of the Alpini

Very informative good exhibits

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

(Translated by Google) A beautiful museum that tells the story of the Alpine troops. The museum entrance is inside the tavern, where tickets are available for €3. At the entrance, you can download an app with a museum guide. A must-see if you're visiting Bassano! (Original) Bellissimo museo che racconta la storia degli alpini. L’entrata del museo è all’interno della taverna dove si possono acquistare i biglietti a 3 euro. All’ingresso si può scaricare una app con la guida del museo. Assolutamente da visitare se si visita Bassano!

(Translated by Google) Small museum to access you pass through the bar where you buy tickets for 3 euros. You go down one floor and enter this small museum but very well stocked with memorabilia, weapons, helmets, uniforms and panels that tell the story of the Great War. There is the possibility of downloading an audio guide (very accurate), it is worth a visit. (Original) Piccolo museo per accedervi si passa dal bar dove si acquistano i biglietti al costo di 3 euro .Si scende di un piano e si entra in questo piccolo museo ma fornitissimo di cimeli ,armi ,elmetti divise e pannelli che raccontano la grande guerra .Vi e la possibilita' di scaricare un audioguida (molto accurata), merita una visita.

(Translated by Google) How emotional!! Remembering my grandfather, a Russian Alpine veteran. Beautiful, very well-made audio guide. The entrance fee was more than reasonable. The Alpine Museum in Bassano del Grappa is a moving place dedicated to the history of the Alpine troops and offers a collection of artifacts from the First and Second World Wars. Overall, the Alpine Museum in Bassano del Grappa is a must-visit for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Alpine troops. (Original) Quanta emozione !! Ricordando il nonno Alpino reduce di Russia Bellissimo , audio guida molto ben fatta . Biglietto di ingresso più che onesto . Il Museo degli Alpini di Bassano del Grappa è un luogo emozionante è dedicato alla storia degli Alpini e offre una collezione di reperti della Prima e Seconda Guerra Mondiale. In generale, il Museo degli Alpini di Bassano del Grappa è un luogo da visitare per chiunque sia interessato alla storia e alla cultura degli Alpini.

The exterior looks promising but the interior and amount of content is fairly limited. In comparison the much older natural science museum in Bergamo is much more interesting and holds much more specimens. That’s being said, it’s still a good option for a rainy day.

Worth visiting natural history museum Plenty of interactive activities, mostly for children ( but not only) Through the visit someone gets an full picture of the natural/ history and evolution of planet mostly on Dolomites area Nice garden worth visiting, with all stages of blooming in front of visitors eyes

Great place for kids, and adults too. 5 stories of natural/tech entertainment with plenty of interactive activities. You can easily spend 3h there. Booking in advance highly recommended, especially on peak season. Tickets are timeslotted, with entries every 30 mins or so. Tickets is pretty cheap and with family packages options.

Beautiful museum with lots of possibilities to learn about interconnection of nature and animals as well as impacts of day to day behavior on our ecosystem. Ohr kids loved the self-experience area on second floor

Great museum for kids. Our 5yo boy was impressed by dinosaurs and interactive stands. 2 hours was enough.

An excellent, medium-sized museum with a rich and diverse exhibition. It's sensibly arranged so you can explore it according to your needs—some sections in detail, others just for a quick glance. A lot about natural history and a bit about the human impact on it. Interesting for both adults and children, even for easily bored teenagers—proven! Many interactive elements will delight young visitors. And the building itself - a piece od excellent architekture by Renzo Piano, worth seeing!

This is the most wonderful science museum I’ve ever visited. It has 5 floors of exhibitions and the last one is a terrace with great view. There is even a greenhouse with tropical plants, live birds, butterflies, fishes. There are a lot of activities for children, so they can learn, play and have fun in a museum. I love the whole idea and how it was executed. I highly recommend this museum both for children and adults.

The castle is beautiful but the real star is the garden with its magnificent views. Took down one star because we wasted an hour waiting for parking and it messed up our plans for the day.

Well worth visiting - interesting castle and pretty gardens. Paid parking (4 euro - but wouldn’t accept credit cards), 250m walk from parking uphill to castle. We spent 2 hours there and would recommend a visit

An absolutely wonderful experience at Castello Thun! The location itself is stunning, overlooking the green valleys of Trentino, and the castle is very well maintained. The rooms, furniture, and collections give a real sense of history, yet it feels welcoming and not overwhelming. Walking through the halls and gardens is like stepping back in time. Highlights for me were the fascinating room full of horse carriages, the unique old kitchen, and the beautiful artwork throughout the castle. I also loved learning that Napoleon once stayed here—such an interesting fact! Outside, there’s a nice cafeteria where you can relax after your visit, and a little museum shop with lovely items to take home. The staff are very polite, kind, and helpful, which made the visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone interested in history, culture, or simply beautiful views.

Amazing castle with a nice little cantine.

Awesome castle built high up on the ridge providing panoramic views of the valley below. Interior is furnished with gorgeous empire style furniture. Worth the time to travel there. Bring some vino and food as it is a good place to picnic afterwards.

Been there in February 2020. Amazing place, in a stunning location. The castle itself is perfectly maintained and the guided tour is very interesting. The audio guide is recommended but not mandatory: there is a lot to see and to learn, since the place has a very rich and long history. Nice and friendly personnel. Only one remark: if you go during winter or in the beginning of spring, be sure to wear a jacket, as in the rooms it gets really cold. Anyway, definitely recommended.

Very nice castel to visit. DOGS NOT ALLOWED unless kept in a transport bag on your body. One star less for the poor organization of shuttle bus that doesn't bring you at the entrance rather leave you at P1 where then you have to climb for a long while

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

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

Beautiful lake with easy walk around it. You can get there by car (paid parking) Even with the bad weather upcoming it gave some nice effects on the pictures… Recommend for an easy stop and enjoy beauty of nature & its colors!

We visited here on a very sunny day. The lake was an emerald green and very beautiful, but the photo spots were quite crowded with people.

We visited Lago di Carezza, one of the most beautiful lakes in the Dolomites. The water shines in shades of green and reflects the forest and mountains around it, giving the place a magical feel. Parking is easy and costs €6 for 1-2 hours, which is fair for such a stunning spot. A calm and lovely stop, well worth visiting if you’re in the area.

A beautiful little alpine lake with stunning turquoise water and breathtaking mountain views in the background. It’s an easy hike, you can walk around it in about 1 hour. Unfortunately, it’s quite a popular tourist spot, so unless you arrive early in the morning, it can get very crowded. Luckily, most visitors tend to stay near the starting point to take photos, so the rest of the trail around the lake is much quieter and more peaceful.

Simply breathtaking! An easy walk around the lake with stunning views and mind-blowing colors. You can drive there (paid parking), and while the lake was shallow, the reflections of the clouds made it absolutely worth the visit!

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

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

Val Gardena offers breathtaking alpine scenery that captivates at every turn. Towering Dolomite peaks, lush meadows, and winding trails create a paradise for nature lovers. Whether hiking, skiing, or simply admiring the views, the landscape is serene and majestic. It’s a perfect escape into the heart of natural beauty.

Beautiful City with many attractions, hiking close by, views and artistic shops.

Nice place to stay during vacation,a lot of good restaurant and wonderful natural view

The floor with the mummy is awesome. The other floors are okay. As a physiotherapist, I feel it’s important to highlight that some of the information presented about Ötzi’s ailments and pain is factually incorrect—not just technically inaccurate but clearly and potentially harmfully wrong. Specifically, the exhibit makes claims about osteoarthritis and other health conditions that go beyond what the evidence supports. It is not scientifically valid to infer pain based solely on imaging findings of “degenerative” changes or age-related adaptations. These types of findings are extremely common in healthy people—many of whom experience no pain at all. Presenting such changes as definitive sources of pain reinforces outdated and misleading beliefs about the human body. This can contribute to fear, over-medicalization, and unnecessary treatments in the general public, especially among people who already live with chronic pain or worry about their health. Aside from the clearly documented issues—such as the arrow wound in his shoulder, the broken arm, and dental problems—any additional claims about Ötzi’s experience of pain are speculative at best and should be labeled as such. Personally, I think those parts of the exhibit should be changed. I included some photos of the problematic texts.

Great museum, mainly dedicated to the story (and viewing) of Ötzi, the iceman. Recommendation when you are in the area. Also some interesting items on living situations in that time and how to craft for example. We didn’t have a ticket in advance and so had to wait outside. It was annoying that the lady at the front couldn’t tell us how long the queue would be, luckily it was only a bit more than 20 minutes. We visited on a tuesday afternoon mid September. Recommended to buy beforehand! Inside there are also many school groups next to the general visitors so it is not calm or quiet.

An interesting museum dedicated to literally just one mummy. After viewing the exhibit, you realize how much information can be gleaned from such a find. My seven-year-old daughter was a bit scared; perhaps it's too early to see such exhibits. Tickets are inexpensive, but there's no parking. The restrooms are clean and comfortable. A significant amount of money has been invested in the museum; I recommend visiting.

Awesome museum! I have been interested in Otzi since he was pulled out of the ice, so when I was nearby I made sure to make a detour to Bolzano and the museum. You’re not allowed to take photos of Otzi himself as he is being preserved for research purposes. The images below show what they think Otzi would have looked like. One thing I found most interesting, (other than his acupuncture tattoos of course!) was his height - only 5 feet 3 inches. I had expected him to be taller, possibly because of my own biases, but possibly also owing to the nature of his life - mountain climbing and hunting while alone. Regardless, he was obviously a seriously brave guy. The museum dedicated to him is definitely worth a visit.

So cool ! The museum is located in the middle of town. Parking was a challenge , we used the parkhouse , while it’s 4.50€ per hour, it worked out well. The museum is set up in 3 floors , easy to follow as everything is numbered. What an amazing valuable find, so interesting . This exhibit really helps you understand the life of this man .

The exhibition was well executed. I learned a lot about this discovery and its ongoing preservation and research. Well worth a visit

excellent exhibition and displays...the story of Otzi and his discovery was like a forensic iceage crime scene..and the museum made it easy to follow...

In my opinion, this is one of the top 3 landscapes to see in Italy. My partner and I walked around the lake, which is 3.8 km long. At times there were quite a lot of people, even forming small queues, but for most of the route we could walk at our own pace. Tip: if the mountain views at the starting point don’t seem that impressive, it’s better to walk around the lake clockwise rather than counterclockwise. This way, the most beautiful part of the scenery will be towards the end of the walk, and your photos will turn out better.

Nice small lake and good views of the surrounding moutains. But in my opinion nothing out of the ordinary - its just a mountain lake and a very commercialised one. You can rent boats for 45min which will cost 55€ and parking is also 15€. The path around the lake is very crowded as well. I think there are more beautiful and especially more calm lakes in the dolomites that would be worth your time and money.

Lago di Braies is absolutely breathtaking! The crystal-clear turquoise water surrounded by majestic mountains looks like something out of a postcard. It’s the perfect place for a peaceful walk, a boat ride, or just relaxing and taking in the view. Every angle is stunning, especially in the early morning or at sunset. The air feels so fresh and calm—it’s pure magic. A must-see spot in the Dolomites that you’ll never forget!

Best lake in the Dolomites in Italy and a MUST visit. It is also referred to as 'The pearl of the Dolomites'. Circular route around this magical mountain lake is a great experience for young and old because the entire hiking trail is safe and well marked. Walking distance from bus stop and car parking.

Gloomy day for us but still breathtaking views. Rented a row boat and bopped around the lake for a bit before grabbing a bite and heading out. Plan your trip accordingly, it can be crazy during the busy months. Do your research!

Taken last 11th of November 2025, very worth it. Inlove with the view, hopefully to see this beauty as well on Summer and Spring. ❤️ 💙 💜

Gorgeous turquoise lake that reminds me of lake Louise in banff Canada. Rented a row boat for 55€ that includes 2 magnets and 45 minutes of row time. It was pretty windy with a slight drizzle when we arrived at 5:30pm. Last boat is at 7pm. There was a slight wait but we didn’t wait too long to get on the lake

Beautiful garden with a wide variety of botanical riches--from the "trees of the world" area to the amazing and artful viewing platform set high above the garden to the more formal plantings around the big pond and in the sunny hills near the castle. We spent a few hours here and enjoyed every minute.

Absolutely wonderful gardens, walks and fascinating flowers, trees and animals. Certainly worth a visit as the colours are exceptional.

We’ve visited the gardens and the castle in autumn. It was still worth it. You really need a whole day to see everything. It is very big. It is perfect for kids. They have baby goats and small farm animals. Beautiful views. We will come in summer.

Great place with a beautiful garden. You can stay hours and enjoy the beauty. Easy access by buses from the center.

We visited the Botanical Gardens of Schloss Trauttmansdorff and highly recommend it. Parking at P3 or P4 is free and just a short 5-minute walk to the entrance. The park is beautifully designed with a wide variety of landscapes and attractions. We started on the left and worked our way through to the right, spending about 2.5 hours in total. There’s a lot to see and experience. Some paths are quite steep, so it might be a bit challenging for older visitors. Overall, a stunning place well worth the visit.

Must see if you are in the area, 3-4 hours is minimum to be able to see all

This place is so awesome I don't even want to write a review about it, it might make it busier in this era of overtourism. But anyway: this garden is too beautiful to be true: the location in the Alps, the hilly terrain of the park, and the variety of plants and flowers and artwork. Usually it's sunny here which really helps. We were here in late October which was perfect. Walking around is not really doable for people who don't walk well. Parking is easy, there's also a bus to the station and it's an easy detour from the Brenner tollway.

Must be seen, parking available till 10 am after that not so much. Prices in bar and restaurant little bit high but food is excellent

Great hike! Easy, and paths are made well. Beautiful scenery everywhere you look

Amazing place but I would not recommend the climb for people with reduced mobility or small children. Highly recommended bringing your own food, there are places to eat on the bottom of the place next to the parking lot but they want 23 euros for a hotdog and 5 euros for a coke. Absolutely outrageous

Highly recommended to visit. Very beautiful place for nature lovers

Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. Easy 15 minute walk to the falls. Beautiful!

Great for children for all ages. Difficultly of the row is medium for lazy people 🫣

Parking ticket for the daily is 10euros if you park close by the hiking trail entrance. The waterfalls are so nice!!! to get to the top is 55 min . It’s totally worth it! They also have amazing food and drinks at entrance!

Nice conditions in November 2025! This resort is one of the best in Tyrol, we like to come in autumn when ski resorts in Italy have no snow at all. If you are a freeskier or snowboarder, the Stubai Zoo snowpark is the place to be in autumn. Lots of riders and the level is very high. I recommend a visit! Of course, everything comes at a price :)

Stubaier Gletscher: A Glacier Adventure for the Whole Family We visited the Stubaier Gletscher in February during our ski vacation, and we were truly impressed by the stunning scenery and the variety of activities offered. As a family with two children (14 and 10 years old), we were looking for a destination that would cater to everyone's needs, and the Stubaier Gletscher proved to be the perfect choice. Pros: * Spectacular Scenery: The glacier offers breathtaking views, with snow-capped peaks and picturesque valleys. The kids were mesmerized by the beauty of the place and took countless photos. * Variety of Slopes: The ski area is extensive and diverse, with slopes for all skill levels. Both the children and us, the adults, found slopes that suited us perfectly. * Modern Lift Facilities: The cable cars and ski lifts are modern and fast, which significantly reduced waiting times. * Activities for Children: Stubaier Gletscher is an ideal place for families with children. There's a dedicated children's area with easy slopes and snow games. We also participated in a snowshoeing excursion, which was a memorable experience for everyone. * Snow Quality: Due to the high altitude, the snow quality is excellent, even at the end of the season. * Facilities: There are many restaurants and places where you can warm up and have a hot tea. * Proximity to Innsbruck: The glacier is located just a 45-minute drive from Innsbruck, making it easily accessible. Cons: * Crowds: During peak season, the slopes can get crowded, which can reduce the enjoyment of skiing. * Limited Challenging Slopes: Experienced skiers might find the selection of difficult slopes limited. * Altitude: The high altitude can cause health problems for some people, especially in the first few days. Recommendations for Families * Plan your vacation in advance and book accommodation and ski passes online to take advantage of discounts. * Check the weather forecast before you leave and prepare with appropriate clothing. * Consider renting ski equipment on site to avoid transporting it from Romania. * Take advantage of the activities offered for children, such as the dedicated children's area and snowshoeing excursions. * Don't forget sunscreen and sunglasses. * Make sure that you have travel medical insurance. Conclusion: Stubaier Gletscher is an excellent ski destination for families. The spectacular scenery, variety of slopes, and activities for children make this place an ideal choice for a memorable winter vacation.

The Stubai Glacier, located in the Austrian Tyrol, is one of the most reliable ski destinations in the Alps, known for its long season and excellent snow conditions. As Austria's largest glacier ski area, it offers skiing from October to June, making it a top choice for early and late-season skiing. With over 35 runs and 65 kilometers of slopes, the resort caters to all levels—from beginners to advanced skiers. The wide glacier pistes are perfect for carving, while off-piste opportunities and the Snowpark Stubai Zoo attract freeriders and freestyle enthusiasts. The lift infrastructure is modern and efficient, with the 3S Eisgratbahn gondola providing a fast and scenic ride up the mountain. Stubai is also family-friendly, offering a dedicated children's area and ski school. The views from the top, especially from the "Top of Tyrol" viewing platform at 3,210 meters, are breathtaking, stretching across the Alps. On-mountain dining is solid, with traditional Tyrolean options available at several cozy huts. The nearby town of Neustift offers a range of accommodations and après-ski options, though nightlife is generally quieter than larger resorts. Overall, Stubai Glacier was a fascinating experience that I recommend to all. It is a fantastic all-around resort, especially for those seeking reliable snow and scenic high-altitude skiing.

Phenomenal skiing/boarding setup. Loads of lifts, central rest areas, variety of slopes. 10/10.

We went to the glacier on the third week of November. Not much snow overall, but ski-able on the top levels, not enough on the lowest levels. Ski slopes was good, could be slight better but acceptable. These days with uncertain snow levels and temperatures this will change from year to year and the time you visit We only visited the large served restaurant that offered quick service and good food. We will be back.. PS. hope the ski shop at the parking kept our ski sticks we forgot the last day

Beginning of season review - 2025. The snow conditions were very challenging: little snow and a lot of ice, very hard to enjoy this even for experienced skiers. What's worse is that were a lot of rocks on the slope which did some damage to our skis. There are a lot of blue runs which felt more like reds. The restaurants have very little space so we had to constantly eat outside even when it was snowing and windy. The place is beautiful though but I wouldn't recommend to go here in the beginning of season.

Went here on a whim with my boy and we are skiing noobs. Staff was helpful and we found the place very easy to navigate. The ski rental place was mad professional and they hooked us up with everything we needed and we spent the day progressing through the bunny hills. Views were immaculate and vibes were fire 🔥 10/10

The golden roof of Innsbruck is a fun little thing to see and is in a beautiful part of the old town. There’s lots of good shopping and restaurants around here that make for a fun outing or a good walk from your hotel. It’s worth seeing this too since it’s an iconic part of Innsbruck.

The Golden Roof in Innsbruck is a captivating sight! Its shimmering gold tiles make it a stunning backdrop for photos, especially under sunlight. A perfect spot for a leisurely stroll and soaking in the historic charm of the old town. A must-visit for unforgettable memories.

A beautiful city with stunning mountain views. The cityscape is always set against a backdrop of mountains, which makes it truly picturesque. Everything is very charming, with plenty of restaurants and shops all around.

The Golden Roof is Innsbruck’s most famous landmark, a late Gothic balcony built in 1500 for Emperor Maximilian I and decorated with 2,657 gilded copper tiles. It’s an impressive piece of history and a symbol of the city, though the small size can feel a bit underwhelming compared to its fame. Worth a look while wandering the Old Town, especially for the historical significance, but don’t expect a grand spectacle.

The Golden Roof is a landmark located in the old town. It is the most famous symbol of the city. The roof, completed in 1500, was decorated with 2,657 gilded copper tiles for Emperor Maximilian I to commemorate his marriage to Bianca Maria Sforza. The emperor and his wife watched various events from the balcony. Unfortunately, due to the height, it is not possible to see the details more clearly.

The entry to the museum is free with the Innsbruck card. So I went in to take a look... It wasn't much. But provided some relief from the scorching sun. You have to go upstairs.

Each building on the street is so defined and colorful that you can almost miss this one with the golden roof built for the Emperor so he could view the street and tournaments. Nevertheless it’s gorgeous. There’s a small museum inside but I didn’t go in. There is so much to see on the street across from this Goldenes Dachl that you become distracted with the sheer art that these two streets are.

Value for money if you go during happy hours. Even if you don’t find tickets online, just go there and they will apply the discount of 20% during happy hours. We went around 4 PM and I think it is perfect timing. Very little rush in funicular, cable cars (there are 2) , view point and also in the cafe/restaurant.

Great visit. A total of two sets is cable car takes you to the top location. The views are splendid. Allow approx. 3 hours for the complete trip.

Amazing thing to do when you want to escape the heat in the city on a hot cloudless day! Cable car and gondola can be packed. Getting tickets online is a good idea. It’s not cheap but the views totally worth it!

I came here in March 2025 I had a brilliant time going to The Top Of Innsbruck. Exciting travel up the mountain. Short but sweet walks. Brilliant views. Food and drink options. A very fun climb to the top. wait time for cable cars is usually not too bad.

The queuing time was quite long here to go up even in January. It seems reasonably priced until you workout the price of the cable car to go right to the top and then it is pretty expensive. The ride halfway up on the funicular is pretty fast, the trains are modern and you do get great views. When you get halfway there is a great viewing platform and you can see right across the city of innsbruck even as far as the ski jump

Fantastic experience with 3 different cable cars getting you to the top. The lines were relatively long (wait time between 10-25 mins) but the views and the hikes you are offered are second to none. Recommend using the Welcome Card you get from your hotel in Innsbruck to buy tickets for the cable car in person (we got 20% off).

An excellent way to see the top of Innsbruck! The station is clean and well maintained, and the ticketing system was clear. This is the first station for the rail car, then there are two more cable cars to reach the top station. The entire journey takes maybe 30 minutes if you time it correctly.

A must visit for all people who like walking though nature. This place is amazing and so beautiful. U walk through it and wonder how nature works and see that if u leave nature to itself it does amazing things. People with wheelchair, strollers and people with walking handicap will have a hard time walking though here. Also when u go through the gorge is good to have a flash light, waterproof clothing and hiking booth.

Beautiful experience! The Partnachklamm is very well maintained and easy to follow, with clear paths and a nicely mapped route through the gorge. It’s a relatively easy hike. It can get a bit crowded on weekends, but the scenery more than makes up for it. After exiting the gorge, there are plenty of hiking trails to choose from if you’d like to continue exploring. Highly recommended!

Amazing place, gorgeous. Nature is impressive and the power of water is very obvious here. Some parts are rather dark though, so maybe bring a torch or just use your mobile phone for lighting. The paths are narrow in some parts but seeing that there wasn't too much going on, it was not a problem. I can imagine that it might be bothersome on busy day.

Visiting Partnachklamm – Beautiful, But Overpriced Partnachklamm (Partnach Gorge) is undeniably a natural wonder and a must-see if you're in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen area. The gorge is stunning, with its narrow passageways, towering limestone walls, and the sound of rushing water echoing through the canyon. It's an impressive display of raw natural beauty that photographers and nature-lovers will absolutely appreciate. However, the experience does come with a downside: the entrance fee. At €10 per adult (as of 2025), it feels steep for what is essentially a short, 700-meter walk through the gorge. While the path is well-maintained and safety measures are clearly in place, the high price doesn’t quite match the duration or complexity of the attraction. There's no guided experience included, and facilities are fairly basic. If you're traveling with a family or on a budget, the cost can add up quickly. It would be more reasonable if the ticket included access to nearby trails or some additional interpretive content about the geology and history of the gorge. In short: Pros: Stunning scenery, unique experience, easily accessible. Cons: Short walk, crowded during peak hours, and overpriced for what you get. Worth visiting once, especially if you've never seen a gorge like this before — but be prepared to pay more than you'd expect for a brief nature walk.

It’s a beauty. Observing the gorge and the surrounding was a very nice adventure. Obviously it might get a bit crowded especially on the weekends but the beauty wouldn’t allow anything to interfere. There is also a very nice hike route right after the gorge. Totally recommend.

Amazing experience walking along the catwalk and carved path through this glacial slot canyon! The water is clear and tinted ice-blue, rushing, and slicing through space that seems only a few feet wide, while you walk through cavernous tunnels and under overhangs. And then, coming out the other side, you get to walk back above and over it all! What a fun hike!! Just be prepared for some steep walking with good shoes, water, and a flashlight for those dark sections!

Very beautiful gorge. Absolutely worth the entry price. Expect to get some drops of water as you go. It was pretty busy on a Friday morning. The walk above the gorge on the way back is really picturesque too.

A beautiful spot with rich history, stunning Baroque architecture, and amazing views. The on-site brewery offers traditional Bavarian beers, best enjoyed in the beer garden with authentic local food. The scenic hike from Herrsching adds to the experience. A perfect mix of culture, history, and relaxation

The reception staff behind the Wallfahrtskirche were very helpful. I was able to obtain some Klein Geld for the Wohnmobilstellplatz here. They could however not explain why the Chapel of Sorrows and Carl Orff shrine were locked shut! Said it never closes! At least 20 people were disappointed.

Its a whole experience even getting here, including an hour or so hike, but so very worth it. Our hike was beautiful, fall colors everywhere. The pilgrimage church is stunning, the scenery in the Bavarian hills is breathtaking, and the beer is some of the best we had in Germany. If you're staying in Munich or the surrounding area, you should go.

This place is known for its very drinkable beer and views over the surrounding countryside. I had a Schweinshaxe (crispy pork leg) and struggled to eat it with the potato salad and the red cabbage.

Great place to have a quick look around and then enjoy beer and food whilst soaking up the amazing views. Easy to get too and well worth a visit.

Great beer and huge pretzels for the budget minded. Pork knuckles (Haxen) for the big appetite. The church is impressive. They also have virtual tours for enjoyment and historic viewd.

Easily accessible beautiful monastery with a beer hall, restaurant and open access to the brewery. Great place for pilgrims and beer lovers.

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

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

It was a wonderful experience visiting the world’s oldest public housing. We went on a weekday morning, and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful, which made exploring even more enjoyable. Purchasing the ticket at the entrance was simple, and the site itself was easy to navigate. The area is beautifully maintained, with so much attention to detail that you really feel immersed in its rich history. Walking through the space gives you a true sense of cultural heritage, and it’s both educational and inspiring. I would definitely recommend this visit to anyone interested in culture and history—it’s a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience something truly special.

I visited The Fuggerei on two different trips, once in 2010 and then again in 2023. It's a neat experience with in Augsburg and i definitely recommend checking it out. The history here is interesting for sure and the architecture in germany in general always amazes me. I would recommend tickets in advance, although was not busy when we went. My aunt had picked them up ahead of time for us.

Fuggerei in Augsburg is often touted as a must-see historical site, but unless you’re deeply interested in social housing history, it’s largely underwhelming. The quaint buildings and quiet atmosphere feel more like a sleepy neighborhood than a captivating attraction. The real standout is the WWII bunker—an unexpectedly compelling and haunting part of the visit. It offers a chilling, immersive look into wartime life and far surpasses the rest of the experience. If you’re nearby and curious, stop by for the bunker, but otherwise, it’s probably not worth going out of your way.

A fascinating historical place that is definitely worth visiting. It beautifully combines the charm of the past with the spirit of the present. I loved the peaceful atmosphere and the feeling of stepping back in time. The houses and small museums provide a wonderful glimpse into old life, and everything is well organized for visitors. Highly recommended when in Augsburg.

a residential complex from 16th century for the catholic people in Augsburg in need. now also is a museum to visit with church and a bunker. interesting to see how they founded the place and the historical phases which passed.

A very successful experience for children aged 4-12. A large place with lots of options that are very difficult to complete in one day due to the long lines for most of the facilities. You have to arrive with a lot of patience. Overall, this is a park where the attractions themselves are not crazy, but the "wrapping" of Lego does its job. The place is very neat and clean and easy to navigate. Overall, this is a recommended day out for the family.

This is in my opinion the best of the 3 Legoland parks in Europe. Everything is good value here, especially the food and the quality of said food is fantastic. I went into the pizza restaurant and paid around €16 for a fresh out of the oven pizza and amazing chocolate tart. They both felt like they came from an expensive restaurant, very tasty and beautiful presentation. You have the best selection of rides here from small to thrilling. A really good variety - the best being Maximus. An absolutely thrilling b&m coaster which despite the short ride time, offers some incredible moments of weightlessness. The park is kept tidy and clean - the bathrooms are cleaned very regularly. Queues are managed well and have the bonus of single rider if you're a lone traveller like me. Saves a lot of time. Theres a few little themed shops dotted around and although a couple were closed on my trip due to the time of year possibly, there's still a lot on offer. More than any other Lego park in Europe like I said. I had the best 2 days here and I can't wait to come back again.

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

We spent lovely 2days here, great experience for us, adults and our kids. We had lovely weather, so a lot of people arrived, and some attractions were crowded, and we had to wait. Luckily it was just occasionally. Plus was Halloween decorations and products that can bring home🎃🎃 Thank you, will come again.

Great place for young kids . We spent one day there , 2 would have been better as we didn’t see everything. Very reasonable as once you pay all the rides are free . Ideal kids age 5-12.

An absolute dream holiday location for my family and I. My son and daughter loved it, the rides were great, food was good and queues were decent. Staff were very friendly, parking wasn't an issue and having Peppa Pig Park right next door made it ideal for my 2 year old daughter too! It was also great fun for my wife and I. Unforgettable memories were made and we cannot wait to visit once again!

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

It's my second time visiting this complex and I can highly recommend it. This time, I found out that the museum itself has been closed for several years already due to extensive renovations. Unfortunately this wasn't very clear online and when you get there the signage isn't very clear either - we walked right past the containerized ticket booth because when you walk towards the building from the parking lot, you can't see the signage. However, visiting the special exhibition was worth it. It's immensely important to expose yourself to our history - maybe one day we will learn?

Historical interesting but the museum is very small. Better go outside to have a look at the impressive structures

It was closed due to a rock concert. With all the camped attendees, it was a bit on the nose

Impressive to imagine what took place here years ago. Would have been nice to have some pictures/explanations outside in the visitor’s viewing place

Worth a visit. They are currently renovating and I expect that the updated museum will be excellent. No real signage for the other outdoor paths and buildings. We saw the interim exhibit and it was quite complete. €5 cash to park. Couple this site with the Nuremberg Court Rooms. (Make sure to pay the street parking fee as a whole line of cars got ticketed outside the court room.)

It was temporarily closed when I visited. If you want to see it reopened, go in 2026.

Nice place beside a beautiful lake . Very nice historical place.

One of the iconic castles of Germany, with loads of imperial connections, and well worth braving the rather steep ascent (the views are great, too). Part of the fortifications that lure you up are actually the city wall, not the castle proper, but the overall effect is what counts. If you are spendthrift, skip the castle interior (interesting, but nor overwhelming), and definitely do not eat there (much better value can be found around the nearby Dürerhaus or in town).

Definitely worth the price of admission. Lots of walking so wear good shoes. Make sure to check out the bridge near the bus drop-off point for the best view. No photography once you are inside. The castle is fabulous. There are bathrooms and a small Cafe inside. Get there early to avoid the crowd.

Nuremberg Castle Beautiful castle with great panoramic views of the city! 🏰✨ The climb up gives you a bit of a sweat, but totally worth it once you reach the top — the scenery is amazing. Perfect spot for photos and enjoying the old-town vibe from above.

From other reviews, didn't believe there'd be a lot of items to see in the museum. Was very surprised at the amount of historical items and information provided. The views of the city were fantastic along with the historic background. Very easy walk even inside the museum and inner grounds. I highly recommend to anyone visiting.

One of the best place to visit. I will comeback again here so soon! ✨️ and I hope I can see the man we were with again, the one with long hair and the one wearing a red jacket at my back. Shout out to them. 📣 Photo taken last January 07 2025.

Beautiful spot to explore — great for a scenic walk with lovely views over the city. The whole place has a strong historic atmosphere and makes for a really nice visit.

The Imperial Castle is the symbol of Nuremberg. Since the Middle Ages its silhouette has represented the power and importance of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and the outstanding role of the imperial city of Nuremberg. From 1050 to 1571, all Holy Roman Emperors resided – at least temporarily – in the Imperial Castle. An archeological exploration of the grounds of the castle has revealed remains of a fortress.

Location is the only good about this place. Rooms are really small, I mean REALLY small. I've booked a room with separeted beds, got a double. When I got back the reception, to have it as I booked, the receptionis said this is all the rooms like, sepearate the beds. Yeah, maybe I should bend the space, so it would have enough room for it. We were there for 3 nights, the room never got cleaned. The whole place could use a renovation. Breakfast was ok, not good, just ok. Staff is below ok. For this price it is expensive.

Rooms are very small,, One can’t even comfortably stand in bathroom..Service was not so friendly,, You need buy everything except Toilet papers

The only modern/budget hotel in the old town. Ask for rooms facing the street side (better view) and ending in 15 or 19 (larger). Not the best Ibis shower that I know (they're generally excellent), the shower floor levels with the bathroom (don't wash too enthusiastically), and there's a GREY shower curtain that doesn't let light it (now that's a first-timer!).

My husband and I arrived, during Christmas Market time. The concierge's name was Abdullah, who was very professional, personable and helpful. This hotel was close to the festivities and had underground parking. Parking fee was $20 euro for the parking, which was convenient not trying to find parking elsewhere or the possibility of walking long distances, with suitcases. The room and bathroom were very clean, location mostly quiet (in the middle of the night, there were people smoking and speaking loudly outside, which wasn't the hotel's fault), beds and pillows were comfortable and the temperature pleasant. If one didn't want to eat at the hotel, Cafe Luitpold was nearby with a delicious, fresh and nutritious breakfast. If we would travel again to Bamberg, we would consider this hotel again.

The central location is by far the best feature is this Ibis Bamberg Altstadt - you are just five minutes waking from Altes Rathaus, in the heart of the old town. The installations are very clean and functional. The bathroom is extremely small and they charge for the subterranean parking, which is something I didn’t see in the website. But anyway, in terms of cost benefit, it is definitely well worth.

Everything was great here!!! Breakfast, Clean rooms, quiet warm place, park for additional Euros, but not much. Excellent Staff service as they are very nice and kind. The location is another great item, very close to the most popular city tourist attractions. I do recommend it.

Historic house well located in the center with friendly staff. While rooms are clean and big enough, they lack atmosphere (I guess that can be expected from an Ibis?) and some maintenance (dents in furniture, plastic covers of light switch and remote control broken,...). Breakfast is OK to good, paid parking available and WiFi is slow (unless you pay extra).

Interesting castle, not the best I have seen, but quite big and equipped. Short tour thru the living quarters in the castle, bit about the Martin Luter history and nice viewing point. Overall I expected more interesting place than it actually was. Small parking at the bottom of the hill with short walk up, or shuttle bus ride. Worth visiting, but bit disappointing.

This was well worth the entrance fee! The castle has so much fabulous history from the 12th century onwards. We enjoyed every minute of the auditory device educational experience.

Wonderful location and views from the castle. The historical tour is very interesting and the preservation and restoration of the chambers is top notch. It is also a historical site for christians, as Martin Luther started the translation to the New Testament in this castle. You can see the room in which he was working.

We visited Wartburg during the Christmas season. Getting up to the castle was quite a trek - it's a long and challenging walk uphill, so be prepared if you're not in good shape! It was also very cold and windy at the top of the mountain. The Christmas market was extremely crowded, so unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to properly explore it. We also found it a bit difficult to find the castle entrance as there weren't clear signs outside. However, the guided tour inside was excellent! The guide shared the castle's history along with interesting stories and fun facts. Before leaving, we even enjoyed some live music in the upper part of the castle.

Now that's a beautiful castle. We took the guided tour and learned a lot! It's worth taking a slow walk at the museum once the tour finishes. Sit, have a beer and a Thüringen wurst. Just lovely!

Lest you miss it at the Wartburg: The triptych of the 3 successive electors by Lucas Cranach depicts a pivotal part of German and European history. The central position is held by Frederick the Wise, Duke of Saxony, arch marshall and elector of emperor Charles V, having refused his own candidacy. Frederick holds the vice regal crown of Germany during the absence of the emperor. His brother John (l) followed, and the latter's son John Frederick (r) fought against emperor and pope for the new church. (JF was brother-in-law to Kg Henry VIII for a short while by the Cleve sisters.)

The trekking routes around and on the way to the castle have some of the visually stunning vistas of the Thüringen wilderness. The city of Eisenach looks quite stunning along the way as well. I'd definitely recommend the trek to the castle along from the other side of another hill.
