Múzeum mesta Bratislavy – Hrad Devín

Mentioned on 
9 lists 
Castle
Museums
Hrad Devín, a partially reconstructed medieval castle, offers breathtaking views of the Danube and Morava rivers. The site dates back to the 5th century and provides panoramic vistas of the Slovakian countryside and across the border to Austria. Nestled atop a formidable hill, it is easily accessible via moderate walking trails. After exploring the castle, visitors can further enjoy the surrounding grounds or grab a meal at nearby eateries.
Definitely a must that one should visit during his stay at Bratislava. Easy to travel from the city centre either by bus or by cab. There is a fee to pay to enter the castle. Beautiful scenery all around the castle. Important to wear comfortable shoes as there are stairs to go up the castle. Prepare to take a lot of magnificent photos. Toilets available and are very clean.
Rachelle C — Google review
Amazing place with stunning natural surroundings, located at the confluence of two rivers. The views from the top are breathtaking. We visited in very bad weather, but it was still impressive — in good weather it must be absolutely spectacular. Definitely worth the trip.
Igor F — Google review
not too impressing fortress, quite small, but it’s cheap to come here by local bus #29 which takes 20 minutes, €1.2 one way. Entrance fee of €8 is acceptable. The view of the river & the lower fortress from the upper is good. A good getaway from the city for half day.
Connie W — Google review
A bit dissapojnting they had it closed because of “weather” when there were no issues and then it was opened but not to the top, it was barely windy.. it is a nice castle to visit. Beautiful views of the Danube. Unlike many places in Bratislava, there are explanations though not all of the translated.
Carla S — Google review
Well worth a visit. We went later in the day and brought a picnic. Very informative, beautifully looked after. Also there was a lovely walk by the Danube afterwards to get back on bus 29 further down the route. We were t up for cycling when we went but this is easily possible from Bratislava. We would definitely visit again.
Ali P — Google review
Stunning view from the top of the castle. Well signposted to help you navigate around the grounds. There’s two small museums as well, that I thoroughly enjoyed. €8 entry fee, I spent around 2 hours taking photos, walking around, reading through everything and taking in the sights. If you want to see everything, please be mindful that there are some hills and a number of flights of stairs.

Devín Castle is a truly wonderful and unique place. Even though it’s in ruins, it has an incredible charm and atmosphere. The views are stunning, and the visit is absolutely worth it!

Belvedere Palace

Museum
Architectural Buildings
Belvedere Palace is a stunning example of Baroque architecture located in Vienna's Landstrasse district. It consists of two grand palaces separated by a beautiful French-style garden. Originally built as a summer residence for Prince Eugene of Savoy in the 18th century, it now houses an impressive art collection spanning from the Middle Ages to contemporary works, including a notable collection of Klimt paintings.
Wow! Loved this extraordinary attraction and gardens. The architecture is amazing. My son and I really enjoyed the walk through and landscapes. The stone carvings / statues are beautifully placed. We did not visit inside the attraction as we will go another day.
PAUL M — Google review
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!
Hungry S — Google review
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.
Yoana M — Google review
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!!
Konstantinos A — Google review
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!
Aida B — Google review
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.
Haya A — Google review
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.
Kelvin T — Google review
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.

Prater

Mentioned on 
+155 other lists 
Amusement park
Nature & Parks
Prater is a historic public park in Vienna that has been open to the public since 1766. It features a long promenade, traditional amusement park rides, a planetarium, and a museum showcasing its rich history. The park also houses children's rides from the '20s and '30s that survived a fire in 1945. One of its most iconic attractions is the Prater Ferris Wheel, offering an unforgettable view of Vienna from above.
A Perfect Blend of Nature and Fun – A Park for Everyone! This park truly offers the best of both worlds. On one side, you’ll find a peaceful and charming green area with a pond full of ducks, perfect for a relaxing walk, biking, or even a picnic under the trees. It's an ideal spot to unwind, enjoy nature, or just let the kids run free while you sit back and take in the serene atmosphere. On the other side of the park is a huge amusement area that’s packed with games and attractions for all ages. From thrilling rides to fun games for kids, there's something here for everyone. We tried the giant Ferris wheel, which gave us amazing views — definitely a highlight! The ride cost €6 per person, and it was well worth it. Keep in mind that while entry to the general park is free, each amusement game or ride has its own separate fee. There’s also a fantastic section within the park filled with restaurants! you can visit day or night. It’s a great area to relax after a walk or a fun ride, and it's equally enjoyable for both adults and kids. All in all, this park is a must-visit. Whether you're looking for a calm afternoon in nature or an exciting day of fun, it has it all in one place!
Nariman L — Google review

The rides are great, and thwre are lots of them! I would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the prices. Each ride is at least 6€ per person, and you cant buy group tickets. For a family of 4 that wants to enjoy a full day of theme park adventure - it is a sizable expense

The amusement park was really fun! There were many different rides and attractions — I wanted to try them all. There are also food stalls and cafés, which make it easy to spend a few hours there comfortably. I visited after 8 PM and didn’t have to wait in line for any of the rides. The atmosphere was lively, colorful, and full of energy. A great place to enjoy with family or friends.
Ayşenur — Google review
We had lots of fun at Prater. Many fun and exciting rides. Amazing views, fun and lively atmosphere. I expected prices to be higher, but they weren’t. There’s no entry fee, you pay for your rides. In November 2025 most rides cost 5€ per person. The famous ferrys wheel cost around 15€ for adults and half price for children. Many attractions available in the evening (we visited 8-10pm) for adults and kids (9 y/old)

St. Stephen's Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+159 other lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
St. Stephen's Cathedral is a medieval Roman Catholic place of worship in Vienna, Austria. It features an ornate spire, catacombs, and a treasury museum. Visitors can explore the cathedral to admire world-renowned works of art and church utensils for a fee. The catacombs house the remains of Austrian emperors and are accessible only to guided tour groups for an additional cost.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We visited St. Stephen’s Cathedral over the weekend, and it was such a beautiful experience. The architecture is stunning — Austria really knows how to blend modern and classic styles. You can feel the history, yet everything around feels fresh and vibrant. The cathedral is surrounded by modern buildings and high-end shops, creating a unique mix of culture and lifestyle. One thing I really appreciated is that entry to the cathedral is free, which is rare in Europe. You only pay if you want to go up to the tower for the panoramic city view — and the price is quite reasonable. Children under 10 enter for free, and kids under 18 get a 50% discount. Overall, everything in Austria feels very clean, safe, and well-organized. We really enjoyed our time here and definitely recommend visiting St. Stephen’s Cathedral if you’re in the city center.
Theavy — Google review
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.
Basil C — Google review
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 .
Saeed B — Google review
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!
Harsha J — Google review
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.
Deepu J — Google review
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.
Miriam I — Google review
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!

Stephansplatz Wien is a captivating blend of modernity and historical charm, offering a delightful stroll through time. The lively square is adorned with horse-drawn carriages, cozy restaurants, souvenir shops, and sweet treats like ice cream. Families with children and pets can be seen enjoying the area's vibrant atmosphere. With its central location in Vienna, it provides easy access to the metro system for convenient exploration.
The heart of Vienna, from where you can stroll through the city center. With St. Stephen's Cathedral, luxury boutiques, and numerous horse-drawn carriages, not to mention the many restaurants nearby. Probably the first place to visit upon arrival in Vienna, then for a stroll and sightseeing in the surrounding area.

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.

Munjoo M — Google review
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.

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.

This is an enormous Palace complex. It houses several museums including the Sisi and Albertina, also the Spanish riding school arena and a church.

Hofburg Palace, Vienna In the centre of Vienna stands this majestic palace complex which houses two museums including the famous Sisi museum dedicated to Empress Elisabeth. Built in the 13th century it was the winter residence as well as the seat of the government of the imperial family. The architecture is great and a big tourist attraction. In the front are some ruins and the area is full of tourists all through the day. Horse carts with well attired charioteers are there for the tourists to enjoy royal carriages. Being in the historic old town the place is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Some of the most renowned artists in history are represented, including Caravaggio, Tintoretto, van Dyck, Raphael, Rembrandt, and Rubens.
Very nice museum. If you have time to spend then try this museum. First and foremost, the architecture and design inside is beautiful. You can just spend some time looking at the walls, ceiling, pillars and the stairs going up. There are multiple types of art exhibition in here, so you can pick and choose which one you want to visit. I would highly recommend going to this museum.

This is an absolutely magnificent museum. Its collection of masterpieces rivals that of many other renowned museums. The building itself is absolutely magnificent, with magnificent paintings by Bruegel, Raphael, Velázquez and many others. On the top floor is a truly unique coin collection, and its presentation and design are equally unique. The museum itself, in the center, has an aesthetically pleasing café where you can enjoy not only the taste but also the beauty of the interior. You could spend a whole day here, and there are also amazing temporary exhibitions, very interesting!

The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna is a masterpiece in itself.. it is a grand blend of art, history, and architecture. Its majestic domed building sets the tone for what’s inside: an extraordinary collection of European art spanning centuries. Highlights include works by Vermeer, Raphael, Titian, and an exceptional Bruegel collection, the largest in the world. The Egyptian and Greek antiquities are equally impressive, offering a fascinating glimpse into ancient civilizations. The museum’s layout is elegant and spacious, and the café beneath the dome is a perfect spot to pause and soak in the atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone interested in art, culture, or simply beautiful places.

While planning my trip to Vienna, I booked my tickets in advance, so I was able to skip the line and enter right away. My host had recommended this museum, so I had high expectations. As expected, I understood why. It's quite large, so it took over five hours to see everything. I loved the sofas provided for comfortable seating and admiring the paintings. It felt like my own little museum. I also enjoyed seeing works by other artists like Caravaggio, Rubens, and Rembrandt. It was a place with a different atmosphere from other museums. I highly recommend it.

We were with Vienna Pass and we didn't wait for tickets at all, they scanned our passes directly at the entrance and we got in quickly. The museum is huge, take at least 2-3 hours to explore, it's definitely worth it. There are so many things to see, it's very interesting. We liked the section with ancient art the most and in particular the Egyptian artifacts.

Beautiful baroque building, with high marbled walls and domed ceilings - an artwork on its own. The galleries we explored are large and comprehensively capture primarily Renaissance art - rich colors, photo-realistic subjects, and heavy religious symbolism. We were rushed for time, ideally you should plan a day to wander through the galleries. Very enjoyable.
Patrick C — Google review
I recommend setting aside a day for a leisurely stroll. My wife and I spent four hours here, and we barely noticed the time fly by. The art history inside is captivating. The paintings, sculptures, and drawings, even the cafe in the middle of the museum, are so beautiful and astonishing that you'll wonder, "Where am I? What kind of place is this?" Even climbing the stairs, the captivating atmosphere everywhere can make you fall in love. This should be your top priority when visiting Vienna, and then you'll be even more captivated by the Albertina Museum.
Eray B — Google review
I would rate it 7 stars if I could! Absolutely immense with such a variety of gorgeous and unique artifacts and paintings. We spent about 4 hours just in the lower floors, before (unfortunately) having to rush through the gorgeous art section. The building itself is really ornate, beautiful and unique, really lending itself to the atmosphere. We especially enjoyed the Egyptian section, the automatons section and the Ivory carving sections, the Rembrant self-portrait was also mesmerising... Audio guides are an additional €5 inside, but really worthwhile as there are tons of artifacts that are featured on the audio guide. The audio guide does have a speaker so can be shared, but we found it easiest to have 1 each so that we could explore as needed and not make too much noise. I would recommend at least 6 hours to truly do the museum justice (assuming you enjoy historical artifacts). Final info is that there are bag/coat storage facilities inside that are free of charge. They also provide free maps, including highlights per exhibit etc.

Castle Lednice, a stunning 19th-century palace, is a true gem of the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape and boasts one of the most beautiful English Neo-Gothic complexes in Europe. Originally serving as a summer residence for the Lichtenstein family, it offers various guided tours showcasing its magnificent interiors. The French garden with a palm greenhouse, Masonic garden, and expansive chateau park seamlessly blend into the surrounding countryside.
One of the most visited castle in Czech Republic, a very big castle, wonderful architecture, well maintained, beautiful garden and flower greenhouse. You need to allocate time to be able to walk everywhere and feel the atmosphere. Big parking outside of the castle, you can eat also in the small town near castle.

A beautiful place, a palace with impressive architecture and simply amazing gardens. We didn't go into the palace itself but we walked around the gardens for about an hour. If you have a lot of free time, you can spend much more here. Well-maintained gardens, so many flowers and greenery. A perfect maze. You can easily spend and walk around here for half a day.
Eddy T — Google review
A very fascinating and well maintained place worth a quick visit. Some items like self standing staircases are fascinating to watch. Also each room furniture has been maintained pretty well. The floor, the walls, roofs all look to have been preserved very well. Only possible to visit as a part of guided tour, which takes place only in Czech language. But not an issue since they provide written guiding text in other languages. The young lady leading the tour was friendly and asked if there was a question, she was happy to answer individually in English. The tour takes around 40-50 Minutes. The staff at reception doesn't speak English. Luckily one lady was able to speak German so it was possible to get information nevertheless.

Very interesting design of a castle for this parts of Europe. The design looks like a British castle. The grounds have wonderful gardens and you have a nice opportunity to stroll around them. We didn’t have the opportunity to go inside the castle. The trees and the flowers are around the castle were wonderful.

Beautiful castle and gardens. Highlight was the greenhouse for me as I love tropical flowers. There are 4 different tours on offer , we chose the 1st which lasted 45 minutes. We also enjoyed a very nice boat ride, everything is easy to arrange on the spot , no need to buy tickets upfront . Everyone is very friendly, gardens are lovely.

It's absolutely worth visiting especially in Spring, and the beginning of Summer. (When I was). It's a perfect place to take an amazing pic for those fans of photography. The path through the garden is amazing with lots of flowers around. The work done by the workers there is non-stop to make it look to perfection. Would highly recommend it combined with a tour in the vineyards around.

Aqualand Moravia is a water park that offers a unique experience on the site of ancient Roman baths. It boasts geothermal water, saunas, and various wellness amenities. The complex has something to offer for families, couples, kids or groups of friends with its spacious layout and numerous attractions such as toboggans and sliding tubes. There are both indoor and outdoor pools available for visitors to enjoy. Additionally, the park provides entertainment with hourly dance activities and a cafe/restaurant on-site.
Fantastic place to enjoy family time lots of sunbed and plenty space... responsibility price and good food... High recommended ☺️

Self check-in machines are super helpful. It was limited for indoor activities so the price wasn’t that reasonable. It’s better to visit in summer season to enjoy outdoor slides. Most slides require two-three people.

Probably best Aquapark I have been to. Absolutely massive outdoor space. Only downside would be overpriced restaurant food. Beer is also bit pricey but compare to let's say uk pubs it's still affordable 85czk (3£) Our 4 year old loved every second there. Lots of kid pools and slides in different areas so you are not stuck in one location all day.

The lady chef in the restaurant kitchen took my food and threw it in the rubbish without saying anything. This kind of behavior is not acceptable. There was no one to take out complain at all. The price vs. quality and level of service is below any expectations.

We decided to try the 30-minute Salt Therapy experience at Aqualand Moravia, priced at 79 CZK per person, after carefully reading the description and information displayed outside. Based on that, we expected to enjoy a relaxing session with noticeable salty air and calming atmosphere. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all. Upon entering, there was no scent of salt or mineral air—only the smell of wooden benches. The temperature inside was exactly the same as outside the room, so there was no spa-like warmth or comfort. There was also no staff present to assist or explain anything about the experience. After about three minutes, we decided to leave, as the environment simply didn’t match what was described or expected. When we spoke with the manager, he explained how the salt spa supposedly works but did not listen to our feedback or concerns. Despite confirming we stayed only three minutes, the “best” solution offered was to not charge us for one entry instead of fully refunding us. Overall, this was a disappointing experience that could have been handled with more understanding and fairness. We would have been happy to pay if the session had provided even a hint of the salty air and relaxation it promised—but unfortunately, it did not.
Michal S — Google review
We visited on a weekday. We arrived at about 10am and had to wait about ten minutes to get in. We have been to many water parks as a family and this was probably in the top three. It seems small when you first enter but there are actually many different areas and the way it is organised is very clever. The best thing about it was the massive outdoor space and extremely hot outdoor pools, it works be great in the winter. You have to be able to understand Czech or German though to understand anything inside, English is not provided. One very strong criticism and sore point for me is the fact you have to pay for parking! Is absolutely scandalous as there is nothing else for miles around (so it’s not like people are trying to park there to go to a town centre, for example). Also, it’s even quite expensive, certainly not a nominal fee. It costs 70 czk which is about 3.50 USD. That policy needs to be reformed urgently.
Dora F — Google review
The place itself is wonderful.. they have a huge pool inside that leads you outside even in cold weather. There is also bunch of activities available like spa, water slides, hot pool and so on. The reason why I'm leaving 3 stars is because they don't tell you about the side effect of coming at lunch time on weekends and the aqualand is full. Than you have to face the long waiting line outside of the building in whatever weather and hope that you'll get inside in an hour. The tickets work best if you go there on week days soonest possible, otherwise you might end up turning back and trying to come back again next time. The prices however are usually really good based on what you get for it so I cannot badmouth on that.. all in all.. you'll get a quality service for a good price just think twice if there is a chance that you'll not be the only one with the thought of going there.

The Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, situated atop Petrov Hill in the heart of Brno, is a remarkable Gothic Catholic cathedral with a Baroque interior. Its 84-meter-tall twin towers and splendid architecture make it one of the most important Czech cultural monuments. Visitors can climb the tower for panoramic views of Brno. The cathedral's history includes a legend about two feuding architects who incorporated statues of angels making unholy gestures towards each other into their respective churches.
St. Peter and Paul Cathedral is one of Brno’s most iconic and breathtaking landmarks. Perched on Petrov Hill, it offers spectacular views of the city and a striking silhouette visible from afar. The cathedral’s Gothic architecture, twin spires, and beautifully decorated interior create a powerful sense of history and spiritual grandeur. Inside, you’ll find stunning stained glass, ornate altars, and a peaceful atmosphere perfect for reflection. Don’t miss the climb to the tower, where the bells famously ring at 11 a.m. instead of noon. A visit here is a truly inspiring experience and a highlight of any trip to Brno.

The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul is a Roman Catholic cathedral located on the Petrov hill in the Brno-střed district of the city of Brno in the Czech Republic. It is commonly referred to locally as simply "Petrov". It is the seat of the Diocese of Brno and a national cultural monument that is one of the most important pieces of architecture in South Moravia. The interior is mostly Baroque in style, while the exterior shell is Gothic that dates mostly from the 14th century, and its impressive 84-metre-high towers were constructed to the Gothic Revival designs of the architect August Kirstein between 1901 and 1909. The original cathedral site dates to the 11th century. (Wikipedia)

Beautiful Gothic cathedral in Brno! The twin spires are iconic and visible from all over the city. Interior is gorgeous with beautiful stained glass and peaceful atmosphere. The climb to the tower is definitely worth it - amazing panoramic views of Brno and the surrounding countryside. Easy to reach in the city center. Free entry, small fee for tower access. A must-see landmark when visiting Brno!

What a lovely experience, got to the place right before the service finished (around 17 something on a Thursday), managed to catch the beautiful sounds of a large pipe organ - the sound was amazing. There is a park around the cathedral’s perimeter with beautiful surroundings, you can see the whole city from afar from different angles, there are also a few cafes to sit super close to the cathedral or you can simply relax and enjoy your time with your own food and drink on one of the numerous benches (with the backs) that are located across the area

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the heart of Brno, Czech Republic, Špilberk Castle is a captivating medieval fortress that dates back to the 13th century. Originally constructed by King Premysl Otakar II as a royal residence, it evolved into a formidable baroque stronghold and later gained notoriety as one of the most notorious prisons during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Known as 'the prison of nations,' its dungeons housed political prisoners and revolutionaries alike.
Climbing the castle was not easy in this incredible summer weather. People on foot should be careful. It must have been hard. It would have been nice if there was still shade of trees. The trees didn't block much sunlight. It was really hard to climb the hill in hot weather. Then I went into the museum of the castle, which was big and had several rooms, but it was not good because I had to carry and see a booklet in English. Viewing is possible up to the third floor. It was convenient because there was a clean bathroom.

Definitely worth a visit. You can spend hours here. I went for the museum and there are three levels you can explore. You get to learn about the castle‘s history and architecture. There are also exhibitions for you to explore and many art pieces for you to marvel at. Please note it is definitely a hike up! Recommend to wear appropriate shoes.

Špilberk Castle in Brno, Czech Republic, is a top destination for visitors seeking history and charm. Easily walkable from the city center, the castle offers a scenic uphill stroll with rewarding views. Its exhibitions are excellent, detailing the castle’s transformation from a medieval stronghold to a Baroque prison, with captivating displays of artifacts. The stories of prisoners, once confined in the castle’s eerie casemates, bring to life the harsh realities of their imprisonment under Habsburg rule. The castle’s restaurant, located on-site, provides a cozy spot to enjoy traditional Czech cuisine or lighter fare, complementing the nearby café for snacks and drinks. The highlight remains the castle’s beautifully tended garden, a tranquil oasis perfect for relaxing. Špilberk Castle blends rich history, engaging exhibits, dining options, and stunning gardens, making it a must-see in Brno.

The castle is open on some days only, so check this in advance. Otherwise you might end up with the museum and the gardens only. The entrance to the gardens is either form the street or from the information center and it's for free. There is a cool souvenir shop where I bought some beer, chocolate and some other local products. Parking place in front of the castle is huge and the historical bridge that is one of the top highlights of the town is close by. You will very probably pass through it with your car on your way to the castle, actually.

The huge castle area is very well maintained by its owner Kinsky family, it is just amazing. We really like how the buildings were reconstructed with taste. The orientation system is very artistic and nice. There is absolutely no visual smog of banners outside, so refreshing and unique in Czechia. There is all kinds of services in the castle: a café, a few museums, a souvenir shop, different kinds of acommodation, a church and even a school :) The only thing we were missing was a restaurant that would sell fish caught in the Kinsky's ponds. I definitely recommend a tour called Following Santini's Footprints in many castle buildings. The tour guide Tomas was super nice, he had a very interactive tour with questions and discussions and he knew a lot.

This macabre yet captivating site attracts visitors worldwide who are eager to witness its unique artistry and contemplate mortality.

Very interesting church. It is one of a kind. It was much smaller than I expected. Definitely worth the visit. My only disappointment is that it’s so unique but you can’t take a picture of yourself inside. Granted there are few people who do not show respect when taking a pic, the remainder of the folks have to suffer for other’s bad decisions. this place is good for a quick stop.

An absolutely fascinating and hauntingly beautiful place to visit. The Sedlec Ossuary is unlike anything else — both eerie and awe-inspiring at the same time. The artistry and respect shown in how the bones are arranged is incredible; it really makes you reflect on history, mortality, and craftsmanship all at once. I visited on a weekday and had almost no wait to get in, which made the experience even better. The site is well-preserved, informative, and surprisingly peaceful. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re anywhere near Kutná Hora — it’s a quick trip from Prague and completely worth it. Buying tickets in advance isn’t necessary if you go early in the day, but it can’t hurt during busy seasons.

Came to Kutna Hora being a fan of KCD 2, and had to stop by this famous spot. I think my girlfriend thought I was a bit off for wanting to go to a church, but she ended up loving it just as much as me! Also don't be a doofus, pay attention and NO PHOTOGRAPHY OR VIDEOS!! There's a visitor's center just a short walk down the street where you buy tickets, or you can do so online ahead of time. Gift shop was cool, had some KCD related items as well

St. Barbara's Cathedral is a stunning example of Gothic architecture located in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic. The cathedral, with its sharp spines and flying buttresses, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most well-preserved churches in Central Europe.

Stepped into St Barbara’s on a bright morning and was immediately floored by that soaring Gothic nave—ribbed vaults twisting overhead like frozen webs.

Knowing it took over 500 years to complete—and that it was built by miners to rival Prague—makes every gargoyle, flying buttress, and delicate fresco feel like a statement of pride. Climbing up to peek at the exterior ribs and slender buttresses from inside was an unexpected highlight—architecture turned up close

Massive Gothic cathedral that serves as the main draw for this town. Beautiful interiors complement the towering external structure. Also featured intricate stained glass. There's a free audio/text guide that provided good context to the visit.

A beautiful church that rivals St Vitus Cathedral in Prague. We spent an hour+ here doing the audio guide on our phones. The audio guide was very informative and easy to use. The exterior of the church is gorgeous, it's hard to choose between St Barbara's or St Vitus in Prague Castle. The interior of the church is also very interesting and beautiful. It was lovely to see so many regences to the town's mining history.
Rebecca O — Google review
The entire complex of which the cathedral is a part is immense, extraordinarily beautiful, and the cathedral itself is huge, a construction that is no longer made nowadays. When you go up to the cathedral, you are enveloped by a feeling of well-being and happiness. You can buy a ticket just for the cathedral or another one that includes the ossuary from Sedlec , but the ossuary is just for advertising, it's not worth visiting, it's in another town, not far away.

Very impressive cathedral- worth a visit. The audio guide was a bit boring, but maybe that’s just me! It’s very cool to go upstairs and walk around in the loft above the arched ceilings below!

Unbelievable! 10/10 must see! I've sen many pictures of this amazing Gothic church before coming here, but this is one of those places you simply have to experience. It doesn't even seem real. The detail of the masonry on both the exterior and interior are nothing short of stunnung. Stepping inside, was the most ornate and beautifully decorated church I've ever seen. From the masonry, to the carved statues painted and guilded in gold, simply stunning. And to think that construction started over 600 years ago is mind bending! Kuta Hora started as a simple monestary, until one of the monks found silver, and it quickly became one of the largest and wealthiest mines in Europe. At one point in time it was estimated that 30% of the silver that existed in Europe came from Kutna Hora, making it one of the wealthiest cities in all of Europe. With all that wealth came the funding to construct the fantastical. The Works started in 1388 and continued until 1588. Sadly, during the 200 years of construction, the mines began to run out of silver, and with it, the funds to continue construction. You will notice a seemingly plain and flat elevation on the north wall, a departure from the wildly complicated structure, leaving you impressed, but longing for the full vision to have been seen through. Tickets to enter are cheap, and beyond worth it.

A truly unique church/cathedral with the way it’s been built in separate parts over the last 600 years. For kingdom come deliverance fans it’s a must, I even bought a silver Groschen from the gift shop!

Very beautiful church on amazing grounds. It compares to St-Vitus church in Prague. All the sculptures presented in the alley getting to the church reminded me of Charles Bridge. Beautiful. The church itself is very well preserved, though it was weirdly "missing" some stained glass windows at some places (I doubt that it was initially built with crystal clear windows, but I might be wrong). Informative display collection and presentation of historical facts upstairs, near the organ. The views of Kutna Hora from the church's site are splendid.

The Konopiste Castle

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
The Konopiste Castle is a Baroque palace that was built over a medieval and Renaissance castle. It was once the home of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, an enigmatic figure who used it as his ideal country retreat. The castle is located amid extensive grounds 2km west of the town of Benesov and showcases the archduke's twin obsessions: hunting and St George.
Fantastic historic castle to visit about 45 minutes by train outside Prague and only €12 return. Still furnished and filled with military & hunting memorabilia as Archduke Franz Ferdinand had it just over 100 years ago. The coffee shop inside has some divine pastries as well.
Gary M — Google review
Visiting Konopiště Castle was absolutely wonderful. The interior tour was fascinating, with room after room full of history and interesting trinkets. There’s so much to see. I was especially surprised to see an elevator inside such an old castle. Just be aware: the tours are only available in Czech, however there's audio guides available in English, German, and some other languages. The on-site chocolate shop was a sweet surprise. The variety of chocolates was impressive, and everything I tried was absolutely delicious. I only wish I could have sampled them all! Sadly the rose garden was not yet in bloom during our visit, but I'm very sure it is a sight to be seen. The presence of so many peacocks wandering the grounds added a magical touch. A peaceful walk around the nearby lake was the perfect way to end the visit—calm, scenic, and incredibly relaxing. All in all, Konopiště Castle is a must see. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. It blends rich history, natural beauty, and charming surprises.
V O — Google review
Fairy-tale like castle and adjacent grounds with 3 excellent tours; note that each is charged separately and there is an option to get an audio guide in English. During the Franz/Sophie private apartment tour you'll be able to see a set of truly touching drawings made by their daughter showing the alegory of the assassination - taking photos is forbidden and unfortunately I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet. There is also a temporary exibition of historical clothing of the nobility with an incredible guide.

A visit to Konopiště castle will bring you back in time to the beginning of the 20th century when it belonged to the heir to the Habsburg throne. He and his family lived in splendid seclusion oblivious to what the future holds for them. You have a choice from several tours out of which the one through the private chambers of the family is as close as you can get to the royals of that time.

Wow! Just WOW! It's simply impossible to see everything in one tour. That's why there are 4 different routes for sightseeing tours. Unfortunately, we were only able to visit tour 2. But I haven't seen so many medieval weapons and everything else in a long time. Unfortunately, you can't take pictures inside. Come and see! You definitely won't regret it! Parking for a day costs 100 CZK, which is 4 euros. There are also many interesting things around the castle, such as a park, a rose garden, a mini zoo

The ŠKODA Muzeum is a museum located in a renovated production plant that showcases the history of the famous Czech auto brand through classic cars. It is an ideal destination for anyone interested in learning about Czech auto history as it offers an informative tour with knowledgeable guides. The admission rates are reasonable and there is a gift area for auto enthusiasts. In addition to the main museum, visitors can also request to see the depositary where raw gems are kept in a separate building.
Incredible experience. My partner arranged me an English speaking guided tour, and the tour guide was fantastic. Really informative and interesting. Explained the history to me which was fascinating. My highlight was the race car section upstairs. Coffee shop was great too. A must visit if you’re near Prague

There is also a artistic display of key moments and personalities i Czech history upstairs. Definitely ask about sports and prototypes exhibiton. Plus a good Restaurant / Cafe Vaclav on the spot.

As a Skoda fan I really enjoyed the museum. Due to a ticket problem, I was hugely disappointed to not be able to tour the factory. I have six Skoda's and about to buy a seventh, but nothing helped with my appeal for entry.
Ray K — Google review
Absolutely brilliant if you're into cars and Czech history - this place delivers on both fronts. The collection traces Skoda's journey from the early days to modern engineering, and it's genuinely fascinating how much innovation came out of this company. You get a real sense of Czech industrial pride and resilience through the decades. IMPORTANT: Book the factory tour at least 3 weeks in advance - it's worth it. You'll see current production, learn about future models, and get the full story from past to present. The museum alone is great, but the factory tour takes it to another level. Even if you're not a car person, the historical context and Czech culture woven throughout makes it compelling. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.

Museum of Communism

History museum
Museums
The Museum of Communism, situated in Prague's New Town, offers a comprehensive insight into the Czech Republic's communist era from 1948 to 1989. The museum features original artifacts, multimedia displays, propaganda posters, and historical documents that vividly depict life under the Communist regime. Visitors can explore reconstructed rooms like a school classroom and shop while learning about both the positive and negative aspects of the system.
A powerful and eye-opening experience. The Museum of Communism offers a detailed and honest look into life under the regime, with real stories, artifacts, and visuals that bring history to life. It’s well-organized, informative, and thought-provoking — I left with a much deeper understanding of what people lived through during that era. There was no wait to enter, and I don’t think tickets need to be booked in advance. Make sure to stop by the gift shop — it’s definitely worth a visit, with unique items and well-curated books that complement the experience perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Prague and interested in history or politics.
Abdulaziz A — Google review
Going to this museum was the best decision I made in my trip to Prague. If you are into history of countries you have to go there! I spent almost 4 hours here reading every detail. It’s perfect that they are showing the history of communism from the very beginning in Czechoslovakia and continue it as an engaging timeline. The tickets are super cheap comparing to insane tickets across Europe to get inside a church for 30-40€. As a student I only paid 290 CZK. I also liked the design of the museum from the darkness of communism to the bright side of Prague spring and the velvet revolution. Highly recommended🤞🏻💯
Behnam — Google review
This is a really well done and informative history of eastern European communism, especially where it relates to the former Czechoslovakia. Very sobering and pretty heart-rending at times but balanced out by the tongue-in-cheek tone of the gift shop! You could fly round it in maybe 45 mins just focusing on the excellent exhibits e.g. example classrooms, apartments, offices, even motorbikes or you could take your time reading it all and it could easily take a couple of hours. All in all , would definitely recommend it if you're interested in the era.

I'm personally very interested in this time frame and despotic regimes so this museum was fascinating. Yes, this museum is criticizing the communist regime and is not impartial. However, it is presenting all the aspects of the Czechoslovakian society before, during and after the communist regime with a lot of details so your analyze and personal feelings will make the right opinion:) Last but not least: I really enjoy humour based on politics, so the goodies were enjoyable

Municipal house

Concert hall
Concerts & Shows
Obecní Dům, also known as Municipal House, is a stunning art nouveau venue in the heart of Prague. This architectural gem took seven years to build and now stands as one of the most beautiful buildings in the Czech Republic. It boasts a 2,000-seat concert hall, salons, offices, and restaurants adorned with lavish decorative work. The venue hosts classical concerts, opera, ballet performances, and various events like fashion shows.
Art nouveau & Empire blend interior design beautifully executed. The guide did a great job of taking us through the details (and keeping the large group together). If your interest has been piqued by any of the pictures, I would highly recommend you attend. Most of the ground floor is occupied by concessions, so you can take a look there too if you're discrete (or need of a lot of refreshment).

This is a "must-do". My husband and I just loved it. I think it is one of the most beautiful interiors in all of the Czech Republic. Our tour guide was excellent. Her love for her country and being proud of her Czech culture enhanced the tour. The English tours especially book up quickly so make this an early stop so you can see what days and times are available. The times vary depending on the day of the week.

We have seen the building before but joined the tour for the first time this time. It was really worth it. All the rooms have amazing decorations and I especially liked the concert hall and mayor’s hall with Mucha’s paintings. The tour was also very helpful to learn about the history of the building.

I had the pleasure of attending a Prague Music Orchestra concert here, and it was a beautiful experience from start to finish. The architecture of the hall itself is stunning — elegant, historic, and designed in a way that makes the music feel alive. The details in the interior reflect the city’s artistic heritage, and the acoustics allow every note to resonate clearly. It’s one of those places where the space becomes part of the performance. The music program was thoughtfully curated, moving from Mozart’s joyful Eine kleine Nachtmusik to the lyrical Largo of Dvořák’s New World Symphony. Each piece felt perfectly suited to the venue. The orchestra performed with passion and precision, and their interpretation captured both the grandeur of the classics and the intimacy of chamber music. A must-visit for anyone who loves music and architecture. The combination of setting and sound makes this concert hall an unforgettable cultural experience in Prague.

The municipal house is from from the first years of the 20th century. Beautiful building built in Art Nouveau style. The building has a rich history: the palace of the Bohemian kings used to be here, but it was abandonded centuries ago and demolisehd to make way for the municipal house. The czhechoslovakian independence declaration was made here after WWI. Inside is a famous concert hall

The building and the atmosphere was great. The musicians and the opera singers were amazing. But the ballet dancers it says that the soloists will be from the National Opera but they were very very bad. They are probably a good distraction and good for advertising the concert to say that there are also ballet dancers included but honestly the musicians and the opera singers were more than enough. Despite the dancers everything was great. Tip: even if they offer you place to the side it is never a good idea. Choose middle seats (even if they are further away from the stage, they always are the better option)

Spanish Synagogue

Synagogue
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Located in Prague's Jewish Quarter, the Spanish Synagogue is a stunning Moorish-style place of worship that now serves as a venue for exhibits and concerts. Despite being one of the newer synagogues in Prague, it was actually completed in 1868 on the site of a 12th-century synagogue. The interior boasts opulent golden decor and hosts permanent exhibitions on Jewish history in Bohemian lands and silver artifacts.
Of all the Jewish memorial sites in the city, this is, in my opinion, the most beautiful and impressive. The place is of course currently used as a museum and not as a synagogue. You can purchase a dedicated ticket just for this museum or a combined ticket (more affordable) that includes all the sites of Jewish heritage in the city's Jewish Quarter.
Eddy T — Google review
A synagogue you MUST visit when in Prague. When I discovered this synagogue, I knew I had to visit. Religious purposes aside, the architecture alone is one to be admired. I visited recently in Sept 2025, the side of the synagogue is like one of a Spanish Villa and then you enter from the front entrance which is unassuming. However once you are inside, you will pause, gasp, or say wow in awe because of the stunning interior inside the synagogue. There isn't anything quite like it. From the altar, aside from this, the walls and ceilings are adorned with intricate patterns. It is like stepping into a religious kaleidoscope. I was blown away. There is so much to look at, attention to detail as well as exhibits on the edges in regards to the Jewish community who resided in Prague during WW2 era. You are able to go upstairs as well to get a different vantage point and the exhibit continues. There is plenty to read, many old memorabilia items in terms of clothing, the famous star of "Jude" which Jewish people were made to wear to identify themselves, old pictures and much more... sometimes it is overwhelming how much history there is. It is a lot to take in. The Spanish synagogue is an architectural gem. Ornate, colourful, unique. A once in a lifetime visit that will leave a lasting impression on you. There is a gift shop whereby you can buy souvenirs such as postcards, keyrings and more.... Toilets are available which is useful as a tourist when going around. Keep in mind upon entry, you will be ask to go through airport style security and have your bag search for safety purposes. Men may be required to adorn a Kippah cap whilst inside the Synagogue.

We were at the Spanish Synagogue for a classical concert, by Jewish composers! A brilliant concert in such a lovely synagogue! The facade on the ceiling was simply astonishing.

Beautiful!! Absolutely beautiful. I would recommend getting the tickets to view all that are connected within the jewish quarters because they all hold such a timeless piece of history and culture. This particular building was so beautiful and when going upstairs and reading about the history really did make me emotional. I know the tickets are on the pricier side around 25 pounds per person but thats so many buildings and the cemetery included and I think its worth it 1000%, the price of tickets in my eyes helps keep the history alive. I would happily pay more than that after visiting, as I happily donated money to each building I visited. There's things there that dont really get taught in british schools that I wasn't aware of and it really makes you think deeply into what happened and what in some places is still happening today! 100% recommend visiting when you get the chance.

We didn't enter, because there's a pay wall. While this might nothing out of the ordinary, the price is quite hefty, about 24 euros per person! And of course there's no information outside, but only after a extensive security check. You can only buy a ticket for 3 days, enabling you to visit the others (less attractive) synagogues of Prague, even excluding the Jerusalem Synagogue, where you can buy a single ticket for a fraction of the price.

The lady who manages the castle visits called us from outside and asked us if we wanted to visit the castle (she only knew two words of English, so communicating was difficult), after paying for the tickets (she only accepts cash) she shows us the stairs and gives us a flyer with some information on the (few) rooms of the castle. In one of the first rooms we meet a group of visitors with a guide who spoke Czech, the room was very small so we tried to reach the next one but got yelled at by the lady, she does not speak English and continues to speak in her language towards us, we try to explain to her that we don't understand a single thing she is saying but she continues to shake her head, in the end one of the visitors knew some English and told us that we couldn’t visit the castle without a guide to supervise us, so we were forced to stay in these small rooms with a group of twenty people listening to a guide who didn't speak our language, there is nothing more stupid... it was not possible to take photos and there are only seven rooms (and they don't even look like royal rooms, you can see that the rooms have been renovated several times in recent years), the city is nice for a walk but being not very touristy, even the locals are not predisposed to foreigners.

The Czech Republic 🇨🇿 has not only a reputation as a beer 🍺 country. The Elbe Lowland is one of the most northern wine 🍇 regions in Europe. The traditional stone terraces on the southwestern bank of the river Elbe create the perfect micro climate for winegrowing.🏞 The grapes are processed in a way to become lively, reductive, light wines with a typical bloomy and fruity varietal aroma. 💐 Take a tour to Melnik, a city situated about half hour drive north of Prague. Your celler master takes you through 14th century wine cellar and offers you local wines to taste🍷🥂, accompanied by freshly baked local bread as well as cheese and other snacks.🥖🧀👍

Theresienstadt concentration camp

Mentioned on

Museum

Theresienstadt concentration camp, also known as Terezin, was originally a garrison town turned into a Jewish ghetto and concentration camp during the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia. The fortress walls contained over 150,000 Jews from various countries. Visitors can explore the Great Fortress and Small Fortress on guided tours to learn about the harrowing history of this place. It's a somber experience that offers insight into the suffering and loss endured by countless families during that time.
It's not a place you want to star rate, but it has been well preserved and open to the public to recount, in a small way, the abhorrent conditions the Czech Jews had to endure. Important for as many people to visit and appreciate that this must never happen again.

Really sad to get to know the past and how was life or surviving in a place like this, the entrance was about 10€ per person, there are toilets for free inside, don't miss the cinema, it shows a movie of about 20 minutes where you can get most of the information and history for free as well and it was translated in English.

If you’re planning a visit to the Terezín Memorial, I highly recommend making an online reservation in advance. While there are a few basic informational signs scattered around the site, most of the historical context and stories require a guided explanation to truly understand the significance of what you're seeing. The admission ticket includes a guided tour, but you must book it online beforehand through their official website. Several language options are available, making it accessible for international visitors. There is a small kiosk within the site that offers vending machines, and the town has a few grocery stores. However, it’s a good idea to bring your own light meal and drinking water for the visit, as options on-site are limited. Also, make sure to set aside time to visit the other museums in town. The ticket to the concentration camp also grants you access to several important museums in the town of Terezín, and they are absolutely worth seeing. These museums provide essential context and help paint a fuller picture of the site's history.

My nephew as me about Auschwitz when we were in Germany so we drove there the following week. As I read on the Internet that we need to reserve as we won’t get in, that was false, the free entrance are limited and need to be reserved but the tour in your language happens every couple hours or so and with many language, of it is 70€ but to really get the feeling and understanding of the place, I think you need the guided tour. Our guide was not that enthusiastic but I guess this is in their mantra. Her English was good for conversation but maybe a bit lacking for this kind of guiding but this did not bother the group I was in. For some reason I was expecting more from what everyone I know who have been there where telling me about the feeling and all but maybe I just been to too many of similar place when I was in the military… definitely recommend to go there with your younger members of the family so that we never forget and don’t let the Israelis repeat the same thing now with the Palestinians

A must visit, worth the day trip from Prague. We booked the tour online in advance but they didn’t even check the reservation. The guided tour was nice, if you don’t do it I’m not sure how you’d get information on the buildings as there is very little signage. They do run 4 or 5 tours at the same time, just in different languages. This means it’s quite crowded. It would be better if they staggered the times. They offer tours in many languages, and your entrance ticket here works in numerous other sights throughout the town as well.

Pravčická Archway, a stunning natural sandstone formation, is a popular scenic site that requires a 5km uphill walk from the paid parking or bus stop. The entrance fee is around 4 EUR and credit cards are accepted. The area offers good amenities and breathtaking views, making it perfect for a sunny day excursion. However, it may not be ideal during windy or rainy weather due to its exposed location.
We recommend visiting here if you are around. Since we spent a night in Hřensko, we just parked our car at the hotel in town and continued walking from there. You can also take a bus or drive a bit further to reduce the walking distance. The path to the top is quite well-organized and well-maintained. Once you turn off from the main road, you’ll really feel how beautiful and impressive those rock walls are. It’s sad to see the damage from the fire a few years back, but it doesn’t reduce the impressiveness. I recommend wearing hiking shoes or good sneakers, as some parts of the path can be a bit slippery on rainy days. When you reach the Archway, there’s a small entrance fee, which likely contributes to maintaining the area. There are also clean toilets, which is really convenient. Before you sit and rest at the restaurant, I’d suggest hiking a bit further to the viewpoint so you can see the Archway from above with beautiful scenery all around. Just be a bit careful — it’s a bit steep and the wind can be quite strong up there. After soaking in the views, feel free to head down and relax with a drink and cake — a small reward for the achievement you made today. Don’t forget to bring your trash back down. I know many people can’t stop smoking, and I don’t mind as it’s your choice, but please don’t throw cigarette butts along the way. It’s not that hard to take even the small trash down so we can help save this area for the next generations. 🙏🏽

Great place to hiking, on website was mentioned that all roads are expert, but as I feel you can go even with kids. One minus, if you want to sit on the top in restaurant you need to pay for entrance, I think it strange decision , as you will pay for food and drinks. Queue for tickets in weekend 15-25 min

In a stunning location amazing place for those who like hiking. It is quite steep in places but the path is beautifully done so everyone can do it. The hike took about 1.5 hours to get to the most incredible natural arch I have ever seen and it is worth to get exhausted on the way. The award on the top is fantastic, lovely restaurant and magnificent views. Access to the final part is restricted by times so it is worth to check out before trip to avoid disappointment and also you have to pay for it but cost is not expensive. Car park available on the bottom in the nearest town.

Truly amazing natural formation. The walk is a bit far from the bottom but manageable. Bring comfortable shoes, open toe are not recommended, there's a lot of loose gravel, sand, and boulders. Once at the top the cost at the main door is 125 kc, but online you can pay 50 kc. Definitely recommended. Walk along the outside edge of the archway and get some great pictures.

We had an extremely interesting hiking experience, saw incredible landscapes and beauties. You have to see it with your own eyes. Parking for a car costs 12 euros. It takes from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to climb up, depending on your physical condition. Entrance to the most interesting places on the mountain costs 5 euros. The road from Prague by car is about 2 hours. Interesting, beautiful, you will not regret it

Well… even just being here means surrendering yourself to the genius loci of this world-class natural wonder! So close one eye a little.. enjoy your refreshment in this rather simple buffet.. and don’t be surprised by the crowds. What truly matters is the wooden chateau itself.. magnificent building that literally breathes history.

Good experience with family to take a loooooong walk in the nature. Need to have good shoes on, water. We paid to get inside the restaurant and the Gallery, but the toilets are out of drift, yes, after long trip, you are enjoying your beer, and then realize no WC. Some of the paths are not easy to walk, just be safe. Again the waitress doesn't speak English at all.
Corrina S — Google review
We visited this stunning site during the Easter holidays, and while it was quite crowded, the experience was absolutely worth it. The hike begins at Hřensko, with a well-marked trail leading you upward. There’s ample parking available at the base, but it fills up quickly—so it's best to arrive early. The trail is fairly steep in places, so wearing proper hiking shoes and carrying enough water is highly recommended, especially if you're visiting on a warm day. Once you reach the top, there’s a small entrance fee. At the summit, you will find a cafe, a kiosk, clean restrooms and an information center where you can purchase souvenirs. Note that the kiosk and souvenir shop accept cash only, so be sure to bring some with you. The panoramic views from the top are absolutely breathtaking - perfect for taking a break and soaking in the scenery.

The Elbe Sandstone Mountains are in Gemany, not the Tsjech Republic. I was there last year and can really recommend it, its absolutely beautiful. We went by bicycle from Dresden, and back again but my honest opinion is that I would rather take the boat next time as this was way too much cycling for me. But it enabled me to see all the villages on the way. Dresden is such a beautiful city

The Elbe Sandstone Mountains are a wonder of nature — towering cliffs, labyrinthine rock formations, and endless views that seem sculpted by both time and imagination. Their rugged geometry is softened by forests that stretch endlessly, painting the landscape in shades of green. Every trail feels like a journey into a fairytale, with breathtaking vistas at every turn. What makes the experience even more magical is the presence of crystal-clear spring water. Flowing from the depths of these ancient rocks, the springs are pure, refreshing, and invigorating — nature’s own elixir for weary hikers. Taking a sip feels like drinking in the mountains themselves, a reminder of their timeless vitality. The Elbe Sandstone Mountains are more than scenery; they are a living, breathing masterpiece where stone, forest, and water come together in harmony. A destination that refreshes both body and spirit.

Frauenkirche Dresden

Church
Sights & Landmarks
The Frauenkirche Dresden is a stunning Baroque church that was reconstructed and reconsecrated in 2005 after being destroyed during World War II. It is part of the magnificent architectural ensemble in Dresden, often referred to as 'The Florence on the Elbe,' which includes the Semper Opera House, Zwinger, Royal Palace, Cathedral St. Trinitatis (Hofkriche), and Castle Pillnitz.
This church is majestic and feels like a center piece of the city. The surrounding area with the church makes this place very picturesque. There is a called rubble from the past that is kept next to the church which is a nice little touch. This is definitely a must visit site in Dresden
Anand — Google review
We visited as it’s our last day, it’s pretty impressive how much money, time, and effort to rebuild all these historic buildings, including this Church of our Lady. Inside still haven’t had much to see but still nice to visit. Free entry but if you wish to climb up to the viewing tower over 100 steps then have a fee.
Pasan S — Google review
This is a beautiful church that is the jewel of Dresden. I loved visiting the church as well as sitting outside in one of the many cafes and restaurants and taking in the view. Church entrance is free. It’s gorgeous inside. If you want to climb up the dome, you need to go around the back. I think it was €12 entrance. The views are great from the top. There are a good few steps going up to start and then there is a ramp around the dome which makes it far easier to ascend.
Gary W — Google review
Brilliant history! In the final days of WWII, the whole city was bombed including this church which was a very important part of Dresden. Following the reunification of German, it was rebuilt using some of the original stone! The building is incredible and there is a stunning view from the top. A must visit!
Evelyn S — Google review
Frauenkirche Dresden, A symbol of peace and rebirth. Destroyed during World War II and rebuilt from its original stones, the Church of Our Lady stands today as a powerful reminder of faith, resilience, and hope. Its magnificent dome shines once again over the heart of Dresden
Ali A — Google review
It's free to walk into the main part of the church where you can see the beautiful interior, and 10€ per person to climb to the top of the church. The stairs are pretty easy most of the way up, and up until after you finish walking up a big sloped ramp near the end you must also get up some VERY steep and skinny stairs (so beware, if you're a claustrophobe or don't like heights). But the view of Dresden is so worth it if you do it.
Caleb M — Google review
The magnificent Frauenkirche! When I last visited decades ago, the church was nothing but a pile of rubble—or more accurately, a heap of stones—serving as a stark reminder of the devastation of war. Reconstruction began in 1994, and on October 30, 2005, it was officially reopened. The church hall is impressively tall and richly decorated. You can climb up to the dome, but we didn’t have time for that on this visit. I’m sure the views from up there—both into the church and across Dresden—are breathtaking. If you only have time to visit one attraction in Dresden, I’d choose the Frauenkirche.

We came for a Mozart concert. It was fabulous. This rebuild baroque church is bright and beautifully grand. It holds around 3000 guests and is decorated with much gold and adornments.The seats were comfortable not like other old churches.it was warm and without drafts.

Fürstenzug

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
In Dresden, Saxony, one of the most captivating attractions is the Fürstenzug, also known as the Procession of Princes. This impressive 102-meter-long mural made of 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles showcases the history of the House of Wettin, spanning from the 12th to the 19th century.
The Fürstenzug in Dresden is an impressive mural made of Meissen porcelain tiles, depicting the history of Saxon rulers. At over 100 meters long, it is one of the largest porcelain artworks in the world. The level of detail in the figures is truly fascinating, bringing history to life. A must-see historical landmark when visiting Dresden!
Victoria M — Google review
The Fürstenzug took me by surprise—so detailed and grand, yet tucked along a quiet street. From my perspective, it’s one of those places that really brings history to life. The scale and craftsmanship of the porcelain mural are incredible, and it’s amazing how well it’s been preserved. It’s definitely worth pausing here while exploring the old town—it doesn’t take long, but it leaves a lasting impression.
Koel G — Google review
the procession of princes is enormous 102-meter-long porcelain mural that basically tells the history of saxony. it features 94 figures of all the saxon rulers and nobles in chronological order, starting way back in 1127. what's really cool is that it's made from an incredible 25,000 meissen porcelain tiles, which makes it the world's largest porcelain artwork. you'll find it right on augustusstraße, so it's super easy to check out as you're walking between dresden's main attractions. and the best part? you can view it completely free
KK — Google review
What an excellent and exquisite display of porcelain art. I believe the art shows a march of the Saxon ruler dynasty and is the larger porcelain mural in the world. When you come upon the wall, the sheer size of it is jaw dropping. You won’t be able to believe what you are seeing. It is beautiful. This is a must see sight when you visit Dresden.
Anand — Google review
We visited the Fürstenzug in December 2024 during the Christmas market, and we were truly impressed. Hahhh, what can I say or express? It was an incredible experience to stand in front of this massive wall of history. This open-air artwork is both grand and full of detail, yet located on a quiet street in Dresden’s historic center. * Stretching 102 meters long, the mural is made of over 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles and portrays the genealogy of the Wettin dynasty, which ruled Saxony for centuries. It’s considered the largest porcelain mural in the world. Originally painted between 1871 and 1876, it was later replaced with porcelain tiles from 1904 to 1907 to withstand the weather. In addition to princes, kings, and dukes, the mural also features scientists, craftsmen, farmers, and even children — which gives the artwork a more human and timeless feel. It’s a true open-air history lesson. The visit is free, quick, and unforgettable. Definitely worth stopping by while exploring the Old Town. And afterward, take a break at one of the lovely nearby cafés! I Recommend it.

Once I arrived in Dresden, I had to take the latest available train to see this. It’s more than I expected. On weekends, this alley can get a little crowded, so you might have to wait a while to get a good picture. :)

Wonderful historic place in the Alt stadt dresden! Indeed its a very beautiful architecture and painting
Navya N — Google review
This beautiful and historic mural, which we explored during a walking tour, runs along the Oberlandesgericht (Higher Regional Court) building. The intricate artwork, done in the style of sgraffito, is impressive and worth pausing to admire. The mural tells the story of Saxony’s history, making it both visually and historically captivating. It’s free to view, and you could spend 15-20 minutes here as part of a walking tour of Dresden’s historic centre.

The SKD | Green Vault is a museum in Dresden that showcases an impressive collection of cabinet pieces by court jeweler Dinglinger and other precious objects. It is part of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, which houses famous museums presenting masterpieces acquired over centuries by the Princes of Saxony and Kings of Poland. Visitors to the Residence Castle can explore various places including the historical and new Green Vault, throne rooms, Armoury collection, Turkish Chamber, and coin collection.
As magnificent as it can be! Right here we see the work of lifetime to an artist! It truly worth of nine euro of entry fee. No jacket and of any backpack allowed in the museum! You really need two to three hours to truly enjoy the detail of each and every piece of art! Also the history behind! If you visit Dresden, don’t miss this great collection!
Steven C — Google review
The museum itself is quite good — a very rich exhibition, definitely worth seeing. However, the overall impression was seriously spoiled by the staff. Already at the ticket counter, the employees were rude to visitors, and unfortunately, the same attitude continued inside the museum. It felt as if they were retired Stasi officers — the interaction was that cold and unpleasant. We've never experienced anything like this in any other museum.
Ярослав С — Google review
Definitely one of the many must-see attractions in Dresden. Received unfortunately worldwide media attention because of the heist in 2019, of which the most valuable pieces are still missing. It’s recommended to buy tickets in advance, we waited 1h. Very impressive and valuable collection of different pieces.
Tymoteusz M — Google review
We visited as part of a Viking tour group. Be aware that you will have to check your bag (even if it's small), and save your ticket for the restrooms. Lifts are available. We had no problems bringing in phones and taking pictures, and the staff were pleasant. I recommend a guide if possible if only because these pieces have a lot of history, from technique of manufacturing, provenance, and their survival throughout the war. The stories a guide can provide really make or break this experience, I think.

One of the most beautiful treasure rooms I've ever seen in my life. Well with the visit. A highlight of the city. I recommend people visit Dresden for this specific treasure vault. Excellent audio guide. Pictures but allowed inside.

We booked two tickets in visit the green Vault with audio guide, it’s very interesting each every pieces of the treasures have story to listen to, and the all of them so beautiful, uniquely crafted handmade. Unfortunately, we aren’t allowed to take any pictures but to observe and appreciate the beauty is already sufficient. You can’t miss out this place in Dresden.
Pasan S — Google review
It's really worth visiting this museum. 3 hours of walking around this huge area (without using audio guides) with many different exhibitions. PS. Buy a ticket for the "new" part if it's possibly to buy just this one. The historical part is just 20min, where you can't take pictures
Jakub U — Google review
This place has so much to see. I would not bother with a tour. We had signed our 10th graders up for a tour and it was way too short. Sadly, you do not really get to see that much on the on the tour. We really only saw what felt about 2% of the exhibition. I highly recommend using your ticket to climb to the top of the tower because you have an amazing view.

Dresden Zwinger

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Dresden Zwinger is a stunning Baroque building that houses a porcelain collection and exhibits on historic scientific instruments. The city of Dresden, often referred to as 'The Florence on the Elbe,' boasts magnificent architectural wonders like the Semper Opera House, Royal Palace, Cathedral St. Trinitatis, Castle Pillnitz, and Frauenkirche. Despite the devastation of World War II, Dresden has persevered and regained its beauty.
The building is still under construction 🚧 and the garden also. But it’s still beautiful, they allowed tourists to go inside the garden for free and walking up to the fortress area to see the view on both sides of the castle and city. The beautiful historical arts and history is worth to visit, very close to the Opera House too.
Pasan S — Google review
Magnificent Baroque palace, initially build by August Strong as a an orangery and gardens, destroyed by the ally bombings in 1945, restored in 50s and 60s . You can walk on the roof of the galleries and admire the beauty of it. It's open till late evening and the entrance is free.The inner garden part is currently ( as of August 2025) under renovation. The galleries house 2 museums - one of mathematical instruments and another is porcelain gallery ( which I highly recommend). When we were there in one of the towers a classical music concert was held. It was beautiful to listen to music in a such beautiful place.
Elllen K — Google review
I visited the Zwinger in Dresden and really enjoyed the experience. There is a lot to see here, and the place itself feels quite special. The architecture is impressive and honestly a bit overwhelming – you can just stand there and keep looking at all the details. Every corner has something interesting, from the buildings themselves to the sculptures and the way everything is arranged. It was a bit crowded when I visited, but that didn’t really stop me from enjoying it. You still have plenty of space to walk around and take your time. I found myself slowing down just to notice the small details, and it was worth it. Overall, I think it’s one of those places you shouldn’t miss if you’re in Dresden. It’s not only about seeing a landmark, but also about the feeling of being surrounded by such a unique piece of history and design.

This is an absolute must-see in Dresden. There’s no need to explain why — just go. The palace offers much more to see than you might expect, so make sure to allow plenty of time for your visit. It’s truly worth the admission fee. The art museum was particularly impressive !

Dresden Zwinger is an absolutely beautiful place—one of those spots where you instantly feel like you’ve stepped into another century. The architecture is breathtaking, with elegant palace buildings, detailed façades and peaceful courtyards that make the whole complex feel almost magical. It’s the kind of place where you can just stroll around, soak in the atmosphere, admire the gardens, and truly appreciate the history and beauty of Dresden. A must-see when visiting the city.

What a beautiful palace. Baroque at its best. Apparently nearly completely destroyed during world War 2 it now shines once more. Different exhibitions at the 4 wings with porcelain, old master and physics. Close to all the downtown historic buildings. In walking distance to the Frauenkirche. A definite must see.

The Zwinger in Dresden is one of the city’s most stunning Baroque landmarks. Its elegant courtyards and ornate pavilions make it perfect for walking around and taking photos. The Old Masters Gallery, home to the “Sistine Madonna,” is a highlight, along with impressive porcelain and scientific collections. The site is well-kept, atmospheric, and beautiful both day and night. A visit truly feels worthwhile.
