The neighborhood's rich history includes influences from Prussian, Danish, and Austrian cultures.

Worth the visit! It gives very Mediterranean feels. Down the stairs you’ll find the lighthouse and the harbor with sail boats. What a sight!

If you make a trip to Hamburg you definitely have to see the Treppenviertel at Blankenese. But make sure that the weather is fine. It’s easy to reach via S-Bahn. 5000 steps are waiting to be entered. The landscape itself is breathtaking. You can easily spend a whole day out there enjoying the sea and the nature.

Walked here all day and got a little lost in the forest close by, but this was truly the most memorable walk on my trip!!!
Richard H — Google review
From the Blankenese Train Station you need to walk about 5 minutes before you find the first flight of stairs (there is more than one). The flights are usually narrow, I can imagine it can feel a little crowded in the summer. You can walk along the Elbe and get very nice views of Blankenesen from the shore. Nice place to visit (located in the westernmost part of Hamburg)

Wildlife park
Nature & Parks
Wildpark Schwarze Berge is a family-friendly wildlife park located just south of Hamburg in the Harburg district. Originally established as hunting grounds, it now offers a variety of animals for viewing and feeding, as well as air shows. The park features attractions such as waterfalls, caves, and fountains.

Great Dog friendly, kid friendly place! We had a blast just us adults and the dog. Lots to see. Beautifully set up. You need a good 3-4 hours to see it all. They have places to get decently prices food and drinks if you need a break.

We have been there a number of times and found the park very nice and fun to be in with kids. There was a very nice big playground and many things to see and do. We will go again and we can only recommend this to anyone.
Eric H — Google review
We had an amazing time at Wildpark Schwarze Berge! The park is beautifully laid out, surrounded by peaceful forest and plenty of space for the animals to roam. You can really feel that the animals are well cared for and that the staff are passionate about nature and education. The walking paths are scenic and easy to follow, and there are so many species to discover — from wild boars and deer to owls, lynxes, and wolves. What we especially enjoyed was the Fuchsfütterung (fox feeding). It was such a unique and intimate experience to watch the foxes up close and learn more about their behavior. The keeper explained everything in a really engaging way and made it feel personal and special. Seeing how curious and playful the foxes were was definitely the highlight of our visit. The park also has great viewing areas, clean facilities, and a nice restaurant with local food. It’s a perfect spot for families, couples, or anyone who loves animals and nature. We’ll definitely come back again — and next time, we’ll plan to stay even longer!
KRUX — Google review

Huge park to entertain your kids. There are plenty of animals to see and areas that you can relax have a Picknick. Also they have an area where you can have a BBQ if you bring your own things to grill. Can spend the whole day with kids and family.

Large and clean animal park with spacious enclosures, but sometimes difficult paths with quite a gradient. The path through the park is paved and can also be visited with handcarts, wheelchairs and prams. Plenty of clean toilets, rubbish bins and food is also provided. Dogs are allowed! Large and open animal enclosures for very close contact.
Martin R — Google review
My Daughter enjoyed every moments and to see animals and some to touch them. Surprisingly enough there is many people visit on weekend but since the place is bigger you don't see or feel it is crowded. The challenge if you take a bus it runs after every 45 min and during summer most of weekends the bus is full

Amusement park

Child-friendly amusement park, with rides & model dinosaurs plus live magic shows & a petting zoo.
My grandchildren are 10 and 7 and were able to do almost everything themselves. Lots of exciting, accessible activities. The Dragon ride was very cool 😎 We had a fun day.

Great spot for kids up to 8 years old. Just a heads-up: they only accept cash payments in the restaurant — I had to use up all my coins. Pretty ridiculous in this day and age… if payment device is broken, please consider to provide a spare one!

It's such a shame that this park is not well organized. We visit the park 4 person on a Saturday afternoon. We waited at one food station 1,5 hours, finally when we arrived in front to order the electronic sistem was broken so they start to close. We went to the next food station were we waited for 4 pizza 1,5 again, because there was working only one boy who was sooooooooooooooo slowly... It was like a bad joke. So we lost 3 hours only waiting in the lines for food. For 81 euros 2 adults and 2 kids IT WAS NOT WORTH IT! Never again we will come here and we don't recommend. Shame for the animals, this was the only nice thing here.

Great wee place to take the kiddos. I wouldn’t recommend fir kids over the age of 12-13 they could get bored but the wee ones will love it!! You can also bring your dogs as long as you keep them on a leash and they are used to crowds!

Had a lovely time. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Quite a few rides are self-serviced, which we liked.
Henny S — Google review
if you're neither looking for crazy rides nor a theme park that pretty much yells "I was made in 2023! I'm super modern! Look at me how shiney I am!", then you should go to this theme park if you're into 'vintage' parks. This park is a bit on the older side of life but made with so much detail and love. My friend and I are always coming back because it just makes you feel "at home". Nostalgic classic rides, nostalgic colors .. love it! Also, it's great for smaller/younger kids, not so much for teens who usually want to go on fast rides ;) it's definitely worth it (as an adult) to come here in the late afternoon for a price reduction

Serengeti Park Hodenhagen

Zoo
Nature & Parks
Serengeti Park Hodenhagen is a fantastic destination that combines the thrill of an amusement park with the wonder of a safari experience. This unique animal park and holiday resort features free-roaming wildlife, allowing visitors to explore at their own pace in their vehicles. The park is well-organized and clean, making it easy for families to navigate while enjoying both animal encounters and exhilarating rides suitable for all ages.
One of a kind zoo. Safari in our own car is something very convenient for families and with that we were able to experience the animals in very close proximity. Animals looked well fed and in good shape unlike other zoos i have visited. There are also various free rides in the park both for kids and adults. Various food stalls and also WC were available throughout the park and very well maintained. Staff were also very friendly and helpful. Definitely a must visit place and it was very well spent day out for us 😊
HR — Google review
Serengeti Park Hodenhagen absolutely exceeded our expectations! We had an amazing time exploring the self drive safari. It's incredibly well organized and gives you a rare chance to see exotic animals up close from the comfort of your own car. From giraffes walking past our windows to rhinos grazing nearby, the whole experience felt like a mini African adventure right in Germany. What impressed us the most was how smoothly everything ran. Entry was well coordinated, the drive-through routes were clearly marked, and there were friendly staff around to guide and assist if needed. The animals appeared healthy and well cared for, with plenty of space to roam. But the fun doesn’t stop there. The amusement park section was a fantastic surprise. There’s a great mix of rides and attractions for both kids and adults. The park is clean, spacious, and offers a lot of variety to fill the entire day. Overall, it’s 100% worth the visit, especially for families or anyone looking to do something unique over the weekend. We left with so many great memories and can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend!

We went for the Halloween special and we really enjoyed it. It wasn't too busy, and not too scary. We were able to enjoy all the rides without a wait on most occasions. Unfortunately, both rollercoasters were not operating, I dont know if this is normal for the winter months. We stayed in a safari comfort lodge, which was clean and perfect for the three of us. It was quite small, but we were only in there to sleep. The accommodation is immediately next to the park and restaurant. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet which was included in our package. We didn't have time to experience the safari park this visit. We will definitely be returning next year.
Nicol H — Google review
An interesting park with a lot of different animals. My recommendation is to go through the park in your own car instead of the bus, as it is really safe and better for seeing the animals. Touring by car takes about 2–3 hours, after which you can visit the amusement park within the same area and spend another 3–4 hours having fun—rides, winning teddy bears by throwing into baskets, food available around. There is also a place where you can feed and pet goats, sheep, and llamas, which is truly wonderful for animal lovers. Overall, a very nice experience and recommended.
Milan I — Google review
It is a really great place for a whole day family trip! The safari part is incredible, we were on our own car and haven't regretted it. You can see animals really close, they have plenty of space and look really healthy. And we loved the amusement park! Surprisingly there were almost no ques, we didn't have to wait more that 5 mins for a ride. Top place, highly recommend!
Александра К — Google review
One of the best Safari park in northern Europe ! Very large, organised, clean and must visit. The rides are also a bonus and included, if you want to cover both I recommend to start early spend 09.30 to 12.30 at the safari, have lunch and spend rest of the day at the rides. The rides are for all age groups and parking facility is quite good, so can easily walk around. There is also an indoor play area for younger kids. Overall can easily spend a full day with family having fun and good memories !

We had booked the Tongasoa lodges. What they don't tell you is there is a hard deadline for check in. The reception closes at 7pm and they were available until 8pm for late check in. The keys and the room no. information are all provided only at the reception, if you come late, we aren't sure where you will need to spend the night. We were very lucky to have caught them just when they were locking up and they were kind enough to help us with our checkins after their work hours. Apart from that everything else was really nice. They rooms were nice and clean, the beds were comfortable and all amenities were functional. The breakfast the next day at Manyara restaurant was just fine. If you are a vegetarian, you will be able to get sandwich and cereals and for vegan probably just fruits and salad vegetables. Safari the next day was really fun, we went with our own cars. The animals were very close and approached the cars. I thought I read you shouldn't feed the animals, but some of the cars in front of us were feeding apples, bananas and carrots and nobody stopped them. The amusement park was also fun, it came with the safari tickets, we didn't need to pay extra.

Bergen-Belsen Memorial is a site that preserves the memory of the horrors of World War II, serving as a tribute to those who lost their lives during this dark period in history. It houses monuments, displays and research facilities that chronicle the experience of former POWs and those sent to concentration and displaced persons camps. The museum staff are welcoming and helpful, creating an organized space for visitors to learn about this somber part of history.

Free to enter and walk around, the scale of the area is massive and you can easily spend 2-3 hours walking around. You don't truly understand the scale of the camp until you walk the grounds. Although none of the original building stand there are plenty of maps explaining certain areas dotted around the grounds. The POW cemetery is separate from the camp, roughly a 5 min walk and is now connected via a sand path that crosses the training area. All signs have an English translation and the exhibits in the museum also have English translations. There is a cafe and library on site, but I didn't visit.

The castle impresses with its beautiful Renaissance architecture and well-maintained interiors. Inside, the museum offers a detailed look at regional history with modern exhibition techniques and clear descriptions. Interesting fact: During World War II, Celler Schloss was used as a refuge for artworks from major museums to protect them from bombings, adding a unique historical layer to its story.

Lovely grassy area which we took our shoes off to enjoy- as only grass we saw in the town. Lovely old building and very peaceful.

The Imperial Palace of Goslar is a remarkable medieval site with a rich history dating back to the 11th century. Inside, the museum showcases artifacts that highlight the Holy Roman Empire’s influence. The Royal Chamber stands out with its beautiful frescoes and impressive medieval décor. From the palace windows, you get a picturesque view of Goslar’s old town, blending history with charming landscapes. While some parts feel a bit worn, the overall experience offers a genuine glimpse into Germany’s imperial past.

I really enjoyed it. We got the audio guides which helped explain a lot. I really liked all the imperial art and the explanations behind the depictions. I have never been very good at art history and the symbolism and all of that and the audio guide explanation was very helpful.

World Heritage Rammelsberg ore mines

Mentioned on 
+12 other lists 
Museum
History museum
The World Heritage Rammelsberg ore mines, located in Goslar, is a significant attraction with a history dating back over 1000 years. The site was declared a UNESCO World Heritage in 1992. Visitors can explore the museum housed within the former silver mine, featuring exhibits on history and geology. Guided tours of the 18th-century shafts offer an immersive experience into the mining industry's past.
I had the train tour and the museum. The tour was just in German, but was done in a majestic way. The train is obviously the focal experience of the tour, but also how the life was underground and the tools used is explained wonderfully (also without knowing the language:)). The museum is in 3 buildings, the storage with the history is the main part, and the other 2 is more about the real machines. They all have English explanations.
Marco G — Google review
I took the train/ mine option and greatly enjoyed the ride and temperature change (it was hot outside). Although the tour was in German I was able to infer as it is a very visual and interactive tour. The tour guide was really good. Hard to believe what these workers had to go through to earn a living. Free parking nearby. Great tour,
D M — Google review
An amazing experience I would highly recommend! It's rare to get to walk in the shoes and take the same mine train the miners took back in the day, deep into the depths of this mine and UNESCO World Heritage site. The rest of the museum and exhibitions are also interesting but the mine rail tour is a must!
Aaron R — Google review
Exiting tour of the mines. Good museum part, but unfortunately most of it is in German.
Søren A — Google review
Very impressive! It was for me the first time to visit a mine like this, it feels you go back in time! The groups weren't that big, so you could see a lot of the mine. It was quite cold, so wear warm clothes. The train underground was an amazing experience!
Maud L — Google review
Very deceiving for such an emblematic place. It is still a quite impressive place full of history which is nice to see. I expected more... First of all, there is no tour in English. For a UNESCO world heritage site, you will expect at least one tour in English. For the museum part, it is interesting but everything is disorganised and it is not appealing. Some parts are only in German. I hope one day, this place would be made more accessible for non-german speakers.

Colin L — Google review
I recently visited the Rammelsberg Ore Mines with my husband and had an incredible experience. We took the guided tour in English, called the Röder Stollen, led by Mr. Christian Etzrodt. He was super friendly and humorous, making the entire journey interesting and engaging. I really appreciate him going out of the way to add fun to the tour. It was an amazing and adventurous experience, and I highly recommend his tour. The reception staff were also very friendly and helpful (she helped us choose the appropriate tour), as was the lovely lady at the shop. Overall, it was a fantastic visit! We really enjoyed the experience. Oh, yes! Make sure to wear appropriate clothing and shoes. You would need to walk a lot and climb steep steps. Would not recommend this tour to people with claustrophobia, nyctophobia, panic disorder, breathing issues, pregnancy, etc. It is colder and dark and might be a bit slippery. P.S. I personally give bonus points for the "Stimmungsring" at the shop, haha

Gustav Adolf Stave Church

Mentioned on 
7 lists 
Evangelical church
Sights & Landmarks
Gustav Adolf Stave Church, located in the old spa resort of Hahnenklee, is a remarkable medieval-style wooden church dating back to 1908. This Nordic-style stave church was constructed from spruce trunks and boasts elaborate carvings, an impressive organ, and a unique four-octave carillon. The interior is as magnificent as its breathtaking exterior, offering visitors a peaceful and beautiful place to explore.
Really unusual to see one of these outside of Norway. Built on the Norwegian style, it's well worth a visit to admire the craftsmanship, and you won't see another unless you go to Norway. It only cost euros to get in, and that's well worth it too. Take your time inside, and soak up the atmosphere...
John B — Google review
I went there by taking M830 from Goslar Hbf. There is only one or two time each hour,and need to check the time in order not to wait for a long time. The church is very beautiful and attractive. Very impressive. It’s worth visiting. There is a hotel near the church is also quite beautiful.

Wurmberg Gondola Lift

Mountain cable car

Year-round gondola lift leading to Braunlage mountain ski resort, with mountain biking in summer.
The active mountain in the Harz. Nice views and a lot of activities possible.
Jens T — Google review
Great experience. First time going up with two kids and a dog. Really happy the dog could have been taken in with us! We took the ride Tal- Berg-Tal. Could exit at the Mitte stop to take a walk in the forest. Then we went to the top where all the skiers go. Magnificent views! We didn't ski this time so can not comment on the slope itself. However there were plenty of skiers and snowboarders of all ages, so I suppose the snow was also good.

The cable car was worth the 19 euro per person. The view from the top, overlooking the Harz Forest, was stunning, although it was sad to see that much of it appeared dead. The service provided was excellent and contributed to a pleasant overall experience.

The prices for a ride on the cable car in one direction is €9, there and back is €15. Stopping off at the middle station is possible and pleasant. Walk into the valley about 4 km gravel road, hiking boots required, large parts of the spruce are dead. There is a big parking lot, the price for one hour is €1.

Hercules

Mentioned on 
12 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Hercules is a monumental complex located at the highest point of Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, featuring a towering copper statue of the Greek demigod Hercules. The surrounding area offers various dining options and cultural experiences, including street art in the Schillerviertel and remnants of documenta exhibitions. Visitors can also explore Grimmwelt, an enchanting museum dedicated to the Grimm brothers, before enjoying a stroll through vineyard terraces.
Hercules Kassel – A Great Family Spot! A wonderful place to spend the day with family and kids. There’s lots of walking involved, so wear comfy shoes, but the scenery makes it worth it! It’s peaceful and perfect for a relaxing Sunday getaway. Some areas could use a bit of maintenance, but it didn’t take away from the experience. Overall, a beautiful place to enjoy nature and history at your own pace.
Aswarth S — Google review
The Hercules monument in Kassel is absolutely breathtaking and truly one of Germany’s most impressive landmarks. Standing high above the city in the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, the sheer size and presence of the statue and the pyramid it rests on is awe-inspiring. The panoramic views over Kassel and the surrounding hills are worth the trip alone. What makes the experience even more special is the unique water feature system – when the cascades are running, you can watch the water rush down step by step through the entire park, ending in a dramatic fountain. It’s a spectacular show of Baroque engineering that still feels magical today. The walk up can be a bit demanding, but the combination of nature, history, and architecture makes it unforgettable. Whether you come for the view, the history, or simply to enjoy the peaceful park, the Hercules monument is a must-see highlight of Kassel.

Raj K — Google review
Beautiful place...as everyone knows it has 500 steps...that you have to climb slowly because you arrive out of breath...you can have a picnic at the bottom...but I went in the summer and the castle was horrible. And it's under renovation. Don't go inside the castle to go up and down for at least two hours while you walk around. If you have more time, even better. The fountains do not have water like in the videos for these dates and the heat was 33 degrees....
Paula H — Google review
The waterfalls and fountains are operated on Wednesdays and Sundays on the afternoon. It’s a wonderful and quite unique spectacle being a UNESCO cultural site. To follow the path of the 5 stations you have to walk over 2 Km, mainly downhill.
Ricardo S — Google review
Stunning views! Came the first week of November (so naturally the fountains/water were not running), but got some beautiful autumn colours and some blue sky. There is no fee to wander around the monument. I believe there's a museum there, which costs money. Unclear on if anyone is allowed to climb further up the monument (able to walk around the base at the top of the stairs), but there were locked gates blocking off when I went (around 1500h on a Monday). Helpful hint, I took the bus to the Herkules monument and then walked down through the park. It's a lot of stairs to walk up to the top, but really enjoyable walking downhill.
N M — Google review
Very bombastic venue, however it is being repaired and not a nice visit ( as of Nov 2035). I wouldn't pay the €8 to go up, unless you wish a wonderful view only, the the construction is rather hideous really. The cascade is worth a walk up and down. Wear good footwear; 535 steps. You can access the staircase cascade free. Chech the timings as the water is only switched on during the summer months, around 14:30hrs. Still worth a visit.

Marvelous piece of man made wonder. Gigantic, rusty and majestic. Nice to trek with the family and have excellent opportunity to explore the nature. From HBF, you can take tram 4 to wilhelmspark and from there either ride with bus line 23 untill Herkules or trek the 3 odd kilometers. Also there are parking opportunities near wilhelmspark tram station but it's filled quickly on Wasserspiel days (Sundays, Wednesdays and public holidays in summer). Worth and recommended.

Begin your day with a visit to Wilhelmshöhe Palace, located in Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe. The park is home to the iconic Hercules Monument, the Castle Löwenburg, and the neoclassical-style palace itself. Inside the palace, you can explore a remarkable collection of Dutch, Italian, and Spanish paintings.
A nice castle in a wonderful setting. The park with its other monuments is UNESCO-listed and a must-visit. The castle hosts a nice selection of paintings (Rembrandt, Tizian, Dürer, you name it). Don't simply pass Kassel when traveling in Germany, it's a hidden treasure that not too many know about.

The museum is good enough to enjoy the stories of the Greeks. However, it has no ancient monuments as it contains prototypes for statues, vases and temples. However, It contains some nice art work and it is the only place in Kassel to buy souvenirs as postcards and magnets 🧲 😀. A bit expensive souvenirs, but it's okay..

It's a great place to go. Peacefully and quiet Tickets are just €18 per person, toilets, bar, they serve alcohol as well. They also have a "nude area" 😁 , and a place with music like a "quiet area" It's worth going you've got no ideas. Parking is big, not very expensive, around €1 per hour or so, €2 maximum
Florin S — Google review
Toskana Therme in Bad Orb is a lovely place to relax and unwind. The saltwater pools are a real highlight—no chlorine, just soothing, mineral-rich water. The food was excellent, and the prices were reasonable, making for a good overall experience. However, there were a couple of minor downsides for me: the water temperature in the outdoor pool could have been a bit warmer, and there weren't enough chairs for the number of guests. Additionally, the area around the pool could use a little more attention in terms of cleanliness. Despite these small issues, it's still a place I would visit again if it were closer.

Despite I am not a big fun of thermal baths I think this one is a nice one. Very new, modern and well organized. Unfortunately the swimming pools are not very big and it tends to be quite crowded especially at peak hours. The inside restaurant does not have a huge variety of food and it is quite basic. There is a very large sauna area with many different types of sauna although you need to be prepared to be totally naked to enjoy 😀. Overall a nice experience!

To everyone who is ok with an average spa which is also focused on a normal swimming pool atmosphere this is the place to go. To everyone who is used to a more intimate, quiet and luxurious experience this spa is not recommendable.

I’ve been to many saunas and thermal baths before, this one didn’t impress me. Thermal baths were great, we could swim in 2 indoor pools, chill in the jacuzzi and enjoy swimming outdoors surrounded by nature. Sauna area was not so nice. Several saunas were closed. We could only go to 90 and 55 degree sauna and hamam. No cold pool where you could cool down after heat. Jacuzzi had a barely warm water instead of hot. Showers are really uncomfortable to use because the water stream is literally hitting you while changing from hot to ice cold all the time. No shower gel provided. Small details are missing. We also had to decide on and pay for the time of staying before going in. 2 hours 20€, 4 hours 26€ per person. If you stay longer, you have to pay extra for every 30 min. Overall it was okay. But you could feel that there is no soul in it.

Excellent place for a day in a thermal bath. We spent around 3 hours there, and it felt too short. Please remember that the place is not too big, and they calculate headcount to allow you to enter. When we were there around 1 pm, it was full, and we waited roughly half an hour. Inside, there’s also a cafe, and the same cafe can be also found at the entrance.

A great place to relax with family or friends, offering multiple pools at different temperatures. I visit frequently and sometimes use the sauna, which has various types with different temperature levels. There is also a relaxation area upstairs with hanging chairs and spectacular views of nature. It’s important to note that this is a nude sauna. If that makes you uncomfortable, it’s best not to pay the additional fee. Additionally, there is a floating pool with a high salt concentration that allows you to float effortlessly. Many people don’t know that there is a Dampfbad (steam bath) upstairs, which is free to use and doesn’t require an additional fee. The facility is wheelchair accessible, and there is even a dedicated pool for people with disabilities. As for dining, the ice cream is delicious, and you can sit indoors or outdoors. The food is quite good considering it’s a pool, spa, and relaxation center. Overall, the atmosphere is excellent, and the staff is friendly and professional.

After one day here my skin improved and healed so very fast, less that 24 hours. Our stay here was only 1 night and I wish we had more time to stay longer for my skin’s complete healing. I will definitely return and plan to stay longer in this beautiful and quite town for relaxation time and healing.

Veste Coburg, a medieval fortress towering above the center of Coburg, is a former palace of the Electors of Saxony. It houses an extensive collection of decorative and fine art, including works by renowned painters such as Rembrandt, Durer, and Cranach the Elder. The fortress features triple fortified walls and is considered one of the best-preserved and largest castles in Germany.
Veste Coburg is an absolute gem among German castles! Its impressive walls, rich history, and stunning views of the surrounding area make it a must-visit. The interiors are filled with fascinating exhibits, and the museum offers an interesting collection of art and weaponry. Walking through the courtyard and along the castle walls is a real pleasure, especially on a sunny day. Bonus points for the well-presented historical information and friendly staff. I highly recommend it to all history enthusiasts and lovers of beautiful landscapes!

Very nice “Wild park”, and even more crazy that it's completely for free! You can walk in and enjoy the animals and the lovely park. In addition, they also have a considerable amount of nice playgrounds for all ages.

A great place to get your exercise and make family memories. There are sections that were not here the last time I was here so make sure you have a lot of time because there is a lot to see. Also a great place to let your children run all of their energy out!

Great place for kids of all ages. Free entry. You can buy animal food in vending machines (they take 50 cent coins only). The animals, especially dear, moose etc., jave wonderful huge enclosures. Multiple playgrounds and a kids pool/water play area. Right now the various viewing platforms are closed off due to covid. Take bug spray. Easy to spend 2 hours, more if staying at tje pool or playgrounds!

A lot has changed over the years. Coming here since I was a child, so for the last 30 years. And I have to say I could see so much improvement! It's a great place for the whole family. Go for a walk, visit the animals, pet and feed them, go to the playground, play Minigolf, lie in the grass, go in the pool,... Would highly recommend!

Wineries & Vineyards
Johannes Deppisch Weinhaus am Main Winery was an incredible experience. Herr Johannes went out of his way to ensure my wife and I had the absolute best experience possible. We learned about Herr Johannes and his family’s incredible journey from the start of their winery to the present. Deppisch Weinhaus wines have exquisite taste and are of the highest quality. Herr Deppisch provides us a wide range to taste from. Every wine that we were privilege to try was incredible. Visiting the vineyard was a great time as well. A short drive through scenic Marktheidenfeld brought you to the family vineyard. We encourage anyone interested in visiting to travel during the village festival organized by Herr Deppisch. Local businesses and tradesmen gather together to give a one of a kind experience for the town of Marktheidenfeld. Thank you Herr Deppisch!!!!

(Translated by Google) Registering for the wine tasting at short notice was no problem. We were welcomed very friendly and warmly by Mr. Deppisch. He told many interesting things about the different wines. Now I also know what a “bock bag” is 😉 The favorites were quickly selected and bought 😉. Thank you for the personal tour of the barrel cellar. Mr. Deppisch is very fond of children and managed to keep my child happy too ☺️ We'll be happy to come back on the next tour of Germany! (Original) Kurzfristige Anmeldung zur Weinverkostung war kein Problem. Wir wurden sehr freundlich und warmherzig von Herrn Deppisch empfangen.

Vielen Dank für die persönliche Führung in den Fasskeller.

(Translated by Google) We discovered it by chance as part of a motorhome trip and were warmly welcomed here. After a tour of the rustic and old barrel cellar, we tasted the wines from Deppisch in the cozy courtyard in the best weather. If the advice had been impeccable and very hospitable, the evening here could have lasted forever. Upon departure, the available storage space was filled with a few bottles of the best Franconian wine. Thank you for the hospitality! Always happy again! (Original) Im Rahmen einer Wohnmobilreise durch Zufall entdeckt wurden wir hier sehr herzlich empfangen. Nach einer Besichtigung des urigen und alten Fasskellers verkosteten wir bei bestem Wetter im gemütlichen Innenhof die Weine aus dem Hause Deppisch. Bei fachlich einwandfreier und sehr gastfreundlicher Beratung hätte der Abend hier noch ewig dauern können. Vorhandener Stauraum wurde bei der Abreise mit einigen Flaschen besten Frankenweins gefüllt. Vielen Dank für die Gastfreundschaft! Immer gerne wieder!

(Translated by Google) We spontaneously called Weinhaus Deppisch to arrange a wine tasting on our last day of vacation and were welcomed with open arms. Johannes Deppisch listened to our needs and those of our children, showed us the beautiful wine cellar with original wooden barrels and held a really nice and delicious wine tasting with us and the children in the courtyard after the tour. Not only was it extremely tasty, but it was also very informative and interesting. The result was that we took crates of wine home with us the next day because there wasn't a single wine that didn't taste good. It was a great evening that we will always remember fondly. We came as customers, left as friends and will continue to do business. Thank you Johannes for the wonderful evening! (Original) Wir haben spontan beim Weinhaus Deppisch angerufen, um eine Weinprobe an unserem letzten Urlaubstag zu vereinbaren und wurden mit offenen Armen empfangen. Johannes Deppisch ist auf unsere Bedürfnisse und die unserer Kinder eingegangen, hat uns den wunderschönen Weinkeller mit original Holzfässern gezeigt und mit uns und den Kindern im Anschluss an die Besichtigung im Hof eine total nette und leckere Weinprobe abgehalten. Es war nicht nur ausgesprochen lecker, sondern auch sehr informativ und interessant. Ergebnis war, dass wir am nächsten Tag kistenweise Weine mit nach Hause genommen haben, weil es nicht einen Wein gab, der nicht geschmeckt hat. Es war ein toller Abend, an den wir uns immer gerne erinnern werden. Wir sind als Kunden gekommen, als Freunde gegangen und werden auch weiterhin geschäftlich in Kontakt bleiben. Danke Johannes für den wunderschönen Abend!

(Translated by Google) Spontaneously walked into this winery and was pleasantly surprised. The owner took all the time to let us taste some delicious wines so that we could place an order. Delicious wines at a reasonable price. It was also very nice to learn more about this. The family business has been around for 150 years and that says a lot. I definitely recommend people who enjoy wine to go here! (Original) Spontaan bij dit wijnhuis naar binnen gelopen en aangenaam verrast.

(Translated by Google) We were able to taste various wines in the historic vaulted cellar. The entire ambience was impressive and the range of wines presented was very large. All were fruity, full of character, moderate in acidity and with an individual personality. The interesting and funny presentation by the winemaker himself was a lot of fun for all guests. We are thrilled....and need more of it! 😉 It's good that delivery works so smoothly! 🙂 (Original) Wir konnten verschiedene Weine im historischen Gewölbekeller verkosten.

Market Plaza Water Fountain

Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
When visiting Wurzburg, make sure to capture a memorable moment in front of the Market Plaza Water Fountain. This vibrant market square serves as a hub for various events and markets, infusing the town with continuous energy and celebration. The fountain, designed by Johann Andreas Gartner in 1802, features a 15-meter obelisk on a square pedestal with simple fountain bowls in the east and west directions. During warmer seasons, the fountain operates as a focal point of the Lower Market Square.
The water fountain on the Market Plaza is at the base of a tall stone obelisk. Sculpted human figures are present on two sides of the base.
Fred F — Google review
This is an interesting fountain monument at Marktplatz. It is the work of Johann Andreas Gärtner (1802). What you see is a 15 metre high obelisk with simple fountain features that seem to operate during the warmer months of the year. There are classical style reliefs on the side of the fountain that appear to have been added in 1881. We visited Würzburg during December. At that time the base and lower level of the Obelisk Fountain were covered up. However, there were lights strung up around the Obelisk that were turned on in the evenings during the Christmas Market, adding ambience to the festival environs at Marktplatz.

(Translated by Google) The fountain in the market square I saw this fountain with my girlfriend during a day out in Würzburg. It is a tall stone obelisk, located within the market square, with a fountain at the base. The support, with a square base, houses taps that are always open from which water constantly flows and collects in small shell-shaped containers. When all the stalls are present it is not easy to see the lower part. (Original) La fontana di piazza del mercato Ho visto questa fontana con la mia ragazza in occasione di una giornata a Würzburg. Si tratta di un alto obelisco in pietra, situato all'interno della piazza del mercato, con una fontana alla base. II supporto, a base quadrata, ospita dei rubinetti sempre aperti da cui sgorga costantemente l'acqua che si raccoglie in piccoli recipienti a forma di conchiglia. Quando tutti i banchetti sono presenti non è semplice scorgere la parte bassa.
Marco R — Google review
(Translated by Google) It's not every day that you see an obelisk and it fits perfectly into the surrounding Marienmarktplatz. Unfortunately, the market stalls are very close to the obelisk, making a free photo almost impossible. (Original) Einen Obelisken sieht man nicht alle Tage und dieser passt toll in den umliegenden Marienmarktplatz hinein. Leider sind die Marktstände sehr nah an dem Obelisken, wodurch ein freies Foto fast unmöglich ist.

(Translated by Google) The fountains in Würzburg have dried up in winter, but the obelisk from the times of secularization and classicism proudly towers over the colorful, decorated and pre-Christmas glowing stalls of the Christmas market. (Original) Die Brunnen in Würzburg sind im Winter versiegt, aber der Obelisk aus den Zeiten der Säkularisation und des Klassizismus überragt stolz die bunten, geschmückten und vorweihnachtlich leuchtenden Buden des Weihnachts-Marktes.

Old Main Bridge

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Bridge
The Old Main Bridge, also known as Alte Mainbrucke in German, is a historic stone bridge in Wurzburg that dates back to the 16th century. Adorned with statues of saints and historical figures, it serves as a cultural and social hub for both locals and tourists. The bridge offers stunning views of the Marienberg Fortress and the Main River, making it a popular spot for people to gather, especially in the evenings.
Old Main Bridge – Simple, Peaceful, Timeless I didn’t cross the bridge, just saw it from the riverbank — and honestly, that was enough. The red stone arches, the quiet flow of the Main, and the reflections in the water made for such a peaceful moment. It’s not flashy, but it has this calm, old-world charm. Perfect spot for a slow walk, a photo, or just to sit and breathe for a bit.

Great place for a pedestrian bridge. Watch the locks and dams move boats up and down the river and people from shore to shore. The statues and hanging baskets are a nice touch. The benches are an invitation to enjoy the views in all directions. This is a very historic structure. The bars and rearraunts at both ends are good also.
Dan H — Google review
Würzburg is such a charming city, and this bridge is truly the heart of that charm. Grabbing a glass (or two) of wine and watching the sunset here is an experience you shouldn’t miss. The atmosphere is amazing — people chatting, laughing, enjoying the moment together. It’s lively but relaxed, full of warmth and good energy. Absolutely beautiful and priceless experience! Pro tip: buy some olives from a nearby store and take that hedonism to the max...
Luka G — Google review
One of the most iconic attractions in Wurtzburg, the bridge’s architectural style with massive statues tucked in niches resembles closely with Charles Bridge in Prague. Both are really gorgeous pedestrian bridges with splendid views from the bridge and of the bridge from shores. Similarity continues in number of tourists and locals crossing them. I have had opportunity to cross the bridge in the morning before local winery stand opens and in afternoon. Much more palatable in the morning. After wine stand opens, the bridge becomes really congested and hard to cross.
Mike Z — Google review
This is the main attraction of Würzburg. In the evenings, many locals and tourists gather. Everyone tastes the famous local wine. Beautiful views of the city, the fortress and the river. You don't want to leave this bridge!
Valeriy V — Google review
One of the most breathtaking spots in Würzburg — absolutely surreal views! The bridge next to the Rathaus is hands down one of the city’s highlights. Standing here gives you this postcard-perfect view of the old town on one side and the Marienberg Fortress towering above the vineyards on the other. When the sun hits the castle in the late afternoon, the whole scene looks unreal — like something out of a fantasy movie. It’s also a great spot for photos. You get wide angles of the Main River, the historic skyline, and that classic Würzburg charm all in one frame. Whether you’re shooting on an iPhone or a pro camera, this bridge basically does the work for you. There’s usually a lively atmosphere with people enjoying a drink and soaking in the view, but it never feels overwhelming. If you’re exploring Würzburg, this is the place you must stop — the kind of view you remember long after the trip.

Fortress
Museums
Perched on a hillside overlooking the Main River, Marienberg Fortress is a reconstructed 13th-century stronghold that houses art and history museums. The fortress has a rich history dating back to a Celtic fortification in the 1st century BC and offers insights into the region's past through extensive collections of artifacts at the Main Franconian Museum. Visitors can also explore formal terrace gardens while enjoying stunning views of Wurzburg from this strategic vantage point.
Nice castle on the hill. Amazing panoramic views to Wurcburg city. Nice calm walking trays. There is a bus no.9 going down the hill.
JOvi E — Google review
One of the best strolls in the area : crossing the bridge and leisurely walking up to the fortress in the midst of vineyards. Strongly recommended the castle tour and enjoying the view from the top gardens.
Tony B — Google review
I’ve hiked to the fortress crossing Alte Mianbrucke bridge and going gradually on Zeller Strabe and via chain of town gardens culminating in ascent to back entrance of Marienberg Fortress (with benefit of sightseeing much more than the forest). Given limited amount of time, I have not chosen interior tour, but full loop around the fortress afforded beautiful town and nature views. Returning back to the town via main entrance to the forest was quick and easy descent.
Mike Z — Google review
Worth a visit, even while renovations are underway. At the moment the main part of the fortress isn't accessible, but the museum is still well worth the ttrip. If using public transportation, take the #9 line to get as close to the main entrance as possible.
Nathan V — Google review
The Marienberg Fortress offers a fantastic view over Würzburg and looks beautiful from the outside. Unfortunately, there is currently a lot of construction work going on, so a large part of the area couldn’t be visited. We only stayed outside and didn’t go inside, so I can’t comment on the interior. The parking fees were quite high, so I would recommend walking up from the old town instead — it’s a nice way to enjoy the scenery!
Cara J — Google review
We have just enjoyed a very pleasant and interesting visit to the fortress. The steady climb up from the river provided nice views. Although the fortress is undergoing major renovations until 2032, the museum in the former arsenal was worth a visit, especially for the exhibition on the peasants war for which this year is the 500th anniversary. Being a Sunday admission was only 1 euro each! During the renovations, tours of the main part of the fortress are by guide only, tickets from the visitor centre in the new courtyard. At this time of year (November until Spring) tours are in German only. However, as we were the only two people signed up for the 14:00 tour, the guide was able to do it in English. This was very informative and personal. Our thanks to the lovely guide for this. During the refurbishment, the cafe etc is closed, but there is a kiosk selling cols drinks and hot snacks, plus machines for hot drinks. Overall, well worth a visit!
John S — Google review
A fortress wrapped in history — and home to some of the most unforgettable views in Würzburg. Even though Festung Marienberg was partially under renovation during our visit, the experience was absolutely worth the climb. In fact, the construction almost faded into the background the moment we started walking up the hillside paths surrounded by vineyards and those classic Würzburg panoramas. When we reached the top, everything was covered in thick fog — the kind that makes the whole place feel mysterious and ancient. The fortress walls, towers, and archways appeared like shadows in the mist, and honestly, it added such a cinematic touch. We thought we’d lost the view for the day… but then, a few minutes later, the fog slowly opened up. And that’s when the magic happened. The entire city revealed itself beneath us — the river, the old town rooftops, the bridges, and the rolling hills. It felt like watching a curtain lift on the most beautiful stage scene you can imagine. The contrast between the fog and the suddenly crystal-clear panorama was surreal. You could feel the whole crowd around us go silent for a moment, just taking it in. Even with renovations, the fortress remains a must-visit. The atmosphere, the history, the climb, and especially the views — everything comes together perfectly. If you’re in Würzburg, you simply can’t skip this place. And if you’re lucky enough to catch the fog lifting like we did, you’ll remember that moment for a long, long time.

The path to fortress is incredible and the view from top along with Main river view reminded me of Prague and the bridge resembling some what to Charles bridge. The red roofs and architecturally decorated view was splendid. I would definitely go again.

Würzburg Residence

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Historical landmark
The Würzburg Residence is a must-see attraction in the city, known for its opulent 18th-century palace and formal gardens. This UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases magnificent Baroque architecture and lush surroundings. The palace, built between 1719 and 1744 under the patronage of the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg, boasts intricate stuccoes, lavish furnishings, and an impressive fresco by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.
Gorgeous rococo. Twice a day English tours but the tour is not really necessary. The small von Wagner museum is worth a quick stop (it's free) and the church is small but pretty. There is a tourist town bus that stops outside the Residence during summer months. There are no online tickets sales or time slots.
Kate J — Google review
The decorations were wonderful, and the optical illusions on the ceiling were so impressive that I could have mistaken them for real sculptors. I took a guided tour in English, and they explained every detail, which was very educational. Towards the end of the tour, there were photos of the building that were devastated during World War II, and I was impressed by how well it had been restored.
Taka N — Google review
An absolute masterpiece — easily one of the most breathtaking palaces in all of Germany. The Würzburg Residence is the kind of place that stops you in your tracks the moment you walk in. Even if you’ve visited other European palaces, this one has a unique elegance — a perfect blend of Bavarian grandeur, Italian influence, and French sophistication. The scale, the symmetry, the attention to detail… everything feels world-class. The highlight is undeniably the grand staircase with Tiepolo’s famous ceiling fresco. It’s massive, vibrant, and so full of movement that you could stare at it for ages. The fact that it survived WWII feels almost miraculous. Every room that follows — from the mirrored hall to the intricate salons — feels like stepping deeper into a story where every wall, every frame, every piece of décor has something to say. The flow of the visit is smooth, the staff are friendly, and the signage makes it easy to understand the historical context without feeling overwhelmed. Photography restrictions apply in some areas, but honestly, that makes you focus on the craft and artistry even more. The gardens are another highlight. Perfectly manicured and incredibly serene, they create a stunning contrast with the palace’s ornate interior. If the weather is good, take your time — the angles for photos are endless. In spring and summer, it’s absolutely magical. Overall, the Würzburg Residence is a must-visit. It’s grand, inspiring, beautifully preserved, and one of the crown jewels of Franconian history. A true UNESCO treasure and an unforgettable experience.
Ronnie P — Google review
The Würzburg Residence is an absolute marvel—both architecturally and atmospherically. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it stuns with its grandeur even before you step inside. The perfectly symmetrical façade, elegant domes, and sweeping gardens immediately signal that you’ve arrived somewhere truly special. Inside, the lavish interiors are almost overwhelming in their beauty. The Baroque and Rococo details, particularly in the chapel and ceremonial rooms, are full of intricate marble, gold leaf, and awe-inspiring ceiling frescoes. You could stand there for hours just admiring the craftsmanship. But what truly sets this place apart is the Residence Garden. It’s a quiet sanctuary right in the heart of the city. The sculpted hedges, fountains, and graceful statues are all arranged with such harmony that walking through the paths feels like stepping into a painting. Whether you’re sitting in the shade of an old tree or admiring the palace from behind a leafy arch, there’s a calming elegance to every corner. This is not just a site for history or art lovers—it’s a peaceful escape where you can slow down, breathe, and enjoy beauty at your own pace.

This is a unesco world heritage site. Very well maintained especially given that it was damaged during the second world war. The key highlights are the glass room, ceiling art and the gardens. The total visit time would be 2-3 hrs. Do spend time in the gardens. The rooms can feel repetitive after a while with the same greek themed tapestries

The Neue Residenz Bamberg is a grand 17th-century palace with over 40 rooms, featuring ornate ceilings, tapestries, and art. The palace boasts a rose garden and is located just outside the Cathedral in an open square. Built as the home of the Prince Bishop of Bamberg, it showcases ostentatious interiors designed by the same architect as Wurzburg Residenz.
Neue Residenz Bamberg is a stunning palace that offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the prince-bishops who once called it home. The 6 Euro entry fee is well worth it to explore the ornately decorated rooms, beautiful gardens, and the captivating Imperial Hall. The architecture is impressive, and the guided tour provides a fascinating insight into the history of the palace and its inhabitants. Be sure to set aside a few hours to fully immerse yourself in this magnificent residence's grandeur and charm!

David A — Google review
Neue Residenz is the elegant palace building at Domplatz. It is a 40 room Baroque complex which houses the State Rooms and State Gallery along with a charming Rose Garden. Opening hours are 10am to 4pm daily and entry is €6 per adult. The Rose Garden can be accessed freely and affords lovely views of the lower section of the historic centre of Bamberg. Neue Residenz was constructed mostly in the 17th-century and is a fine representation of Austrian-Bohemian Baroque architecture. The State Rooms are highly decorative with outstanding ceiling frescos. The Imperial Hall fresco works by Melchior Steidl (1709) is a masterpiece, probably one of the finest of its kind in Franconia. The State Gallery is where you find European masterpieces mostly from the Baroque period. This makes for a nice art viewing experience as well. Easy to spend 45-60 minutes between the two, make sure to allow another 10-15 for the Rose Garden as part of your visit as well.

Touring the Neue Residenz and its art galleries in Bamberg is insightful and short enough to be digestable as well. The art galleries were thought-provoking. In the Residenz, I appreciated that historical context was given. The furniture and art in the rooms were arranged to convey their original feeling. I enjoyed that it gave me a glimpse into a different time-period. The entrance was inexpensive and the staff friendly. Outside the building, there is a beautiful rose garden with a stunning view over Bamberg. After the tour, I highly recommend a short rest in this garden (no entry fee and accessible without having to tour the building).

The art part of the museum was not that impressive to me, but the 3rd floor intro he residence and rooms was amazing and worth the visit.

A beautiful and historic building again close to the old town. Is right next to the historic old court and Bamberg Cathedral. Although it looks really promising from outside we couldn’t manage time to visit inside. It has a beautiful garden with mostly roses in the inner yard. Next time we would be visiting inside too.

Didn’t go inside, though the interior looks stunning. Just as pretty on the outside with its baroque architecture. Interesting shape too to admire in an L shape enclosing the Domplatz. Right by other sites such as the old court and the Dom. Absolute must visit when in town!

What a wonderful place to visit in Bamberg. The staff throughout the residence are exceptional! They all have a found knowledge of the history, architecture and paintings. Throughly enjoyed my visit here it’s definitely a must in Bamberg. €6 entry a private tour of the private rooms included, make sure you ask what time they are. The tours are only spoken in German, however if you go early enough they might translate to English as well (depending on numbers).

Bamberg Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+67 other lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Bamberg Cathedral, also known as the Imperial Cathedral, is a 13th-century church that holds significant historical and artistic treasures. Originally built by Emperor Henry II, it features four spires and houses the tomb of Pope Clement II, the marble tombs of Henry II and Queen Cunigunda, as well as the famous Bamberg Horseman statue. The cathedral's late Romanesque and early Gothic architecture showcases remarkable sculptures, carvings, and choirs.
Great Cathedral very ornate. Great architecture, though it is getting some external renovation right now. A lot of cool architecture inside. Some famous statues of the king and wonderful tomb where the Lady is on the more honored side, basically because she was so beloved! There is a Pope buried in here, but I was not able to find it, though there were a few sections cordoned off.

No if you want to get a sense of the towns history visiting the Cathedral and exploring the connected / nearby buildings is a great place to start. We visited on a busy weekend but found it easy to move through the Cathedral at our own pace on a self guided tour. There were people available to answer questions and were were free to roam respectfully. Walking down to the catacomb was also a unique way to get a sense of history through the life of the space, which has had multiple fires. The stonework and scale is massive. I’m told they have music with the pipe organ on Saturdays but don’t know the details. I can only imagine what the massive organ sounds like during services.

Beautiful cathedral. Make sure you go inside and see the only pope remains in Germany. Very cool!

Pope is buried in the back and on the square side door is relief of Jesus return. Worth the visit and cool on top of the hill.

Beautiful cathedral. Fine location to sit and reflect and lots of history! No crowds at all during the week.

We were not able to go inside the cathedral during our visit. Only took some pictures from outside. There was alot of constuction going on. The architecture is exquisite yet somehow feels depressing. Just my opinion. Much more beautiful things to see in Bamberg.

Bamburg Catheredal of St Peter and St George. Construction of the church was completed in the 13th century. Great to visit.

It was much bigger than I realized. Perhaps not as beautiful as other cathedrals but seeing Der goldener Reiter inside was a Highlight.

Altes Rathaus

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
The Altes Rathaus, also known as the Old Town Hall, is a historic landmark and porcelain museum located on an island accessible by pedestrian bridges. Dating back to the 14th century, it has a fascinating backstory: due to the Bishop of Bamberg's refusal to allocate land for a town hall, residents built it on stakes in the River Regnitz. The building received a Baroque update in the 18th century and is adorned with famous frescoes.
What a spectacular courthouse. Built on a bridge in the middle of a river, & adorned with wonderful paintings. The little portside & its wooden crane are just below it. A gondolier plies his gondola tour up the Am Kanal, a side stream beside it. In the middle of the Bamberg old town, the surrounding architecture is well worth walking around, This is a classic of Franconia.

Fascinating historical landmark, famous for its unique location. According to legend, the city's citizens built it on an artificial island in the middle of the Regnitz River after the bishop refused to grant them land. It now houses the Ludwig Collection, a museum of porcelain and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Rob P — Google review
One of the iconic images of Bamburg. Really pretty building and a really scenic view. Detailed decorative architecture and fresco-ish external painting. The best view is from the bridge that shows the front of the building. Which is by the Tower Lots of cool stuff in that area to see as well.

A well preserved medieval town. We enjoyed our visit to Bamberg.

Probably most impressive looking Rathaus in Germany is also one of the most picturesque buildings. Originally built in 14th century, it was remodeled in 18th century in Baroque style. According to legend, it was built on the river on artificial island because the bishop refused to allocate the land, hence the bridge just straddles Regnitz River. Frescoes are very charming blending medieval and Baroque origins of city hall. Couldn’t resist going in circles around it…

ibis Bamberg Altstadt

Historic Sites
The Ibis Bamberg Altstadt is a laid-back hotel with basic rooms and a 24-hour snack bar. Despite being centrally located, it offers a quiet atmosphere, making it convenient for exploring the nearby attractions on foot. The hotel's proximity to the Hoffmann Theatre makes it easily accessible. Guests can enjoy clean and functional facilities, although some found the bathrooms to be small. The hotel also offers underground parking for a fee, which was appreciated by guests during busy times such as the Christmas Market.
Sweet little hotel with a very friendly personal and a nice view from the 4th floor! Perfect for visiting Bamberg for a few days or just a weekend. The location couldn’t be better - it’s in the heart of the city and still very quiet.

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.

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.
Rodrigo C — Google review
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).

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Kids had an excellent time and did not want to leave. Food options are great and prices are expected to be a bit higher so no surprise there. There a re variety of rides for everyone of all ages. Glad it wasn't too crowded when we visited on 03 July. My favorite ride was the boomerang. Also there a husky friendly rides for my guys who wear a couple XX's in their shirt or waistband. Can't wait to go back next weekend.

Great theme park, food and drink prices not too expensive. Rides are very varied with something for everyone.
Matt C — Google review
In general we had a lovely day there. The park is not that big but offers a wide range of activities for all age groups more suited for families and children. If you are an adrenalin junky you will find a few attractions but not that a variety as in other parks. We liked that there were food stalls and toilets everywhere and the wildlife areas to calm down a bit from the excitement. Some of the attractions seem a bit dated, though they are still fun to ride. The new area that was opened this year (Asia themed) looked nice, but the dragon rollercoaster didn't live up to our expectations. (no real light show or exciting exhibits, could do much better!) If you are looking for a nice family day, this will suit you fine 😉
Sebastian K — Google review
This is a great day out for a family with attractions suitable for all age groups. The park is well maintained and the layout offers plenty of shade and diversity. This would have been five stars from me if the prices were a bit more moderate. Kids pay full price from 1.40 m size, no family tickets and on site food, drinks and ice-cream are quite expensive. I recommend big families to bring their own food and drink.
Roberto G — Google review
Its a strange collection of attractions, some clearly left overs from earlier decades or second hand from other large attraction parks. But, nice atmosphere, green surroundings, not too busy. So, you pick what you like and go over and over again in the same attraction. For younger children lots of fun options. For teenagers too limited. My 13 and 15 year old enjoyed it for a couple of hours, but too few really exciting rollercoasters etc. Prices for food and drinks are high with 3 EUR for a black coffee. Zero vegan options. It's all just s bit out of date or conservative. Maybe exemplary for Bavaria?

Today we visited Geiselwind. We came from the USA and decided to see. Honestly this was one of the best experiences I have had. The rides were awesome, people were friendly. Definitely would recommend for parents with kids or even for adults!
