Not what I had oringnally thought it would be. But our guide Marco was very informative, and I learnt so much more than I expected. To remember and honour the past to ensure we don't repeat the mistakes of the past.

2025.02.15: free to enter, half an hour away from Hamburg, by car. The area is huge, if you're planning to go through in detail and also read everything you'll need multiple hours to do that. The place has a special atmosphere where you can really feel the weight of the happenings of the past. Worth visiting.
Bálint K — Google review
I spent 5 to 6 hours here , totally worth the commuting to this memorial. Even on a rainy day, it was worth it, it actually gave a deeper experience. Very wide big place. Advise hearing the audios of testimonies and take some time for reading to emerge into it. Altought peaceful, heavy.
Celia M — Google review
Very informative and eye opening experience. The premise is spread over a very big area. So be prepared to walk a lot in the open. Unfortunately we visited on a rainy day, so couldn't explore much of the ground. But exhibition is very informative with lots of original photos and documents. Entry and exhibition are free.
Shruti P — Google review
It's hard to rate a place so full of sad memories and dark times. But the place itself is quiet, somber, and very respectful of its history. The displays are thoughtful and deep. I was particularly moved by the albums that were about a single person. When you read them and realize that over 100,000 passed thru the camp, it's an overwhelming moment.
Kevin D — Google review
This concentration camp became a prison after WWII, before becoming an exhibition centre. Therefore, there aren't many original features of the camp which remain. There is a lot of learning material available in the exhibition space, with photos and information. You have to pick up separate cards at each exhibit point if you want to read in English French or Polish. The reception desk has a map which suggests a one hour or two hour route of the camp.
Sujit R — Google review
Free to visit. You can still feel the menacing atmosphere. Many old buildings still intact and the exhibitions were interesting with lots of old stuff from the camps.
Ville H — Google review
Recommended if you want to know more details about the World War 2 and the life of prisoners in this concentration camp. We can only imagine the effect that it left on so many families.

Old crane in the Lüneburg harbor

Mentioned on 
7 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
The Old Crane in the Lüneburg harbor is a centuries-old industrial landmark that dates back to 1346. This historic harbor crane was used to lift valuable goods such as salt and firewood. It features two hidden wooden carrying wheels and is still fully functional, despite becoming redundant after Lüneburg was connected to the railway network in 1846.
This is a medieval port ramp used for (un)loading salt and other products from boats. It's set in the very center, but more we liked the relaxed vibe of the area. There're several bars and restaurants around with outdoor seating, and people sit on the bridge with their drinks enjoying the beautiful scenery around
Dejan B — Google review
It is a picturesque social hotspot with beautiful scenery and sunshine well into the early evening in spring.

The Old Crane is a historic harbor crane located at Lüneburg's ancient Ilmenau port. The crane, which was built in 1797 and was one of the most powerful in northern Germany at the time, still characterizes the image of the Wasserviertel today and is regarded as a landmark. Lüneburg was first mentioned in medieval records in a deed signed on 13 August, 956 AD The crane is constructed of a load-bearing wood framework. Great atmosphere, stunning environment, and nice restaurants to eat or just have a beer are all must-sees if you're in Lueneburg. Today (June 24, 2023), we went on a weekend trip. Lunenburg) is a charming and historic town on the Ilmenau River, bordered by the Lüneburg Heath in the North German state of Lower Saxony. The town is located about 50 kilometers southeast of Hamburg and is the capital of the district of Lüneburg, with a population of approximately 75,000 (2018). So very beautiful, do visit. And lot of Restaurant are also there.

Aleksander R — Google review
A short trip to Lüneburg is the natural consequence after visiting Lübeck. The salt that made Lübeck rich actually came from Lüneburg! At the former harbor in the water district (Wasserviertel), you'll find this "Old Crane," a (secret) symbol of Lüneburg. This is where the precious salt ("white gold") was shipped, bringing great wealth to the city during the time of the Hanseatic League. In the Middle Ages, the crane was an important tool for lifting heavy loads, especially salt bags, onto ships or onto land—thus allowing the salt to be transported further to Lübeck through the Stecknitz Canal. Two old ships can still be seen there. And there are plenty of lovely Cafés around the square - a true tourist magnet! 🤩

The restaurant has amazing location near by the river, and it is a big one. As you can see from the pictures they have nice view and atmosphere. The staff was very warm, friendly and quick service. They serve Lavazza coffee and the cakes were fantastic, and also normal prices. Strongly recommend and if I have the chance I would definitely visit it again!

Designer Outlet Neumünster offers a wide range of stores and products with great discounts. You can find quality clothing from many popular brands, often with additional deals. The selection is good and prices are really worth it. The only downside is that there aren’t many options for food or lunch, but overall, it’s a great place for shopping if you’re looking for variety and good value.
Vr M — Google review
Great little “village” of designer brands from all categories, dotted with coffee shops and ice cream parlors. The shopping selection is impressive and well-organized, with something for every taste and budget. Food wise, it’s functional rather than fantastic but enough to keep you going. Don’t expect a culinary highlight. A well-maintained and pleasant place for a day of bargain hunting (weather permitting).

Peter M — Google review
I arrived early in the morning at Designer Outlet Neumünster, when all the shops were still closed and the place was quiet. The calm before the shopping rush gave me a chance to really take in the spacious layout and the modern design of the outlet. Located on Oderstraße 10, it’s about 45 minutes by car from Hamburg, and you can also get there by train from Hamburg Dammtor to Neumünster with a transfer, which takes around 1.5 hours. Even before the shops opened at 10 am, I noticed the huge parking area with plenty of spots, including premium and electric vehicle charging stations. The outlet hosts over 120 designer stores offering discounts up to 70%, featuring brands like Karl Lagerfeld, Woolrich, and Zwilling. I was excited to come back later and explore all the fashion, accessories, and more. The peaceful morning also gave me a moment to appreciate the cafes and restaurants that would soon fill with visitors. It felt like a perfect blend of convenience and style, making it clear why this spot is a favorite for both locals and travelers looking for great deals near Hamburg. If you’re coming without a car, the best way is to take the train from Hamburg Dammtor to Neumünster, then a short bus or taxi ride to the outlet. It’s an easy trip and well worth it for a day of shopping and relaxing in a clean, welcoming environment.

Designer Outlet Neumünster is a pleasant place to visit with a good variety of shops and a clean, well-organized layout. While not everything is cheaper than elsewhere, you can still find some good deals if you take the time to look around. There are also a few places to eat, which makes it easy to spend a few hours here. Parking is simple and convenient, which is always a plus. Overall, a nice shopping experience

Museum
Historical landmark
Museum Holstentor is a fully restored Medieval gate in Lubeck, Germany, which now houses a museum dedicated to the city's history. Dating back to 1477, this iconic Gothic-style gate marks the western end of the former Hanseatic City and is recognized as one of the most visited sites in the country. The gate features two rounded towers and a block in the middle that appear as a single structure from one side but can be differentiated from another.
Beautiful, historic, serene place to walk around. Lots of transport nearly, you can get here but a bus or the main Lubeck central station is about a 5 minute walk only. Recommended..!

Evangelical church
Sights & Landmarks
Marienkirche, also known as St. Mary's Church, is an elegant Gothic structure in Lubeck that dates back to the 13th and 14th centuries. It is considered the mother church of Brick Gothic architecture and was the first to adapt the Gothic cathedral style using local brick. The church suffered significant damage during World War II when it was almost completely destroyed by RAF bombings.
I visited Marienkirche in Lübeck, Germany. The church is astoundingly beautiful with impressive architecture and great views. The entry fee was 4 Euros, but the experience is absolutely worth it. It’s a great visual treat, though there are no toilets inside. This is a must-visit place in Lübeck, and I highly recommend it!

Alex S — Google review
Marienkirche is the third-largest church in Germany, and one of the five large Gothic brick churches in Lübeck. The interior is stunning and learning the history of it was so interesting. During an air raid, a lot of the church was destroyed but it's been beautifully restored. During my time at the church, they were restoring another facade as well. There is a reconstruction of the Danse Macabre, and also some beautiful reliefs of the Last Supper and some statues of Mary, Gabriel, etc. I'm a huge fan of Bach and I was delighted to read that Bach may have come to Marienkirche to play the now-destroyed Totentanzorgel (Danse Macabre organ). I believe they also have services in Marienkirche, although I went on a weekday so I'm not 100% positive. Based on signage, I would say so. I recommend stopping in to learn about the history of Lübeck and the church, or even to sit in on a service! I'm going to come back perhaps to see the other four churches.

St. Mary's Church which was built between 1250 and 1350 is the third largest church in Germany. It and has always been a symbol of the power and prosperity of the old Hanseatic city. Entrance is ticketed, 4 eur per person but it is without doubt worth to enter and see its magnitude from every corner inside.

Hansa-Park

Amusement park
Water & Amusement Parks
Thrill & family rides & attractions in amusement park with themed areas & shows. Open Apr-Oct.
What a fantastic amusement park with great food options and even better theming and scenery. I wish it was a little closer to the train station but thats not an issue as the park is worth it to make the effort to visit it. The views from the rides are amazing as its right on the Baltic Sea and its really something to see. Karnan is one of my favorite rollercoasters in the world and makes a visit to Hansa Park a must visit for any coaster enthusiast but the rest of the park also holds its own weight. it wasnt too busy for a weekday but still had to wait at most 1 hour for the most popular coasters
Evan S — Google review
Hansa-Park was the 36th park I’ve had the chance to visit, which gives me a fairly solid basis for comparison. Unfortunately, it was also the most disappointing experience I’ve had so far. Right upon arrival, we headed straight for Schwur des Kärnan. After waiting for nearly an hour inside the building (often in complete darkness), we were finally informed that the ride couldn’t open due to an audio system issue. Although we were given the option to leave the line, we chose to stay, hoping for a quick resolution. Ten minutes later, we were forced to evacuate. The total wait time ended up being 1.5 hours… for nothing. But the most baffling part came next: as soon as we exited, the ride immediately reopened. Strangely, only around thirty people had been evacuated, allowing those who remained in line to board before us. As a result, we had to wait another 1.5 hours. This kind of partial and opaque handling of a technical issue is difficult to justify. Once an evacuation is decided, it should apply to the entire queue—without exception—to ensure basic fairness for all guests. In other parks, such inconveniences are usually compensated with priority access or a return ticket. Here, nothing. Three hours of waiting for a coaster, with no communication and no goodwill gesture. It left us feeling abandoned. Sadly, this was not an isolated incident. The park’s overall management seemed to be struggling: very long wait times, rides operating under capacity, understaffed teams (for instance, only one operator for the drop tower, compared to two or three in other parks for similar attractions), and a general atmosphere of unmotivated staff. For Schwur des Kärnan, we estimated a throughput of around 300 people per hour that day, even though the maximum capacity is closer to 450. The lack of additional trains was obvious, especially when the wait time exceeded an hour. Let me be clear: my 2-star rating is not a punishment for technical breakdowns themselves — these things happen — but rather for how they were handled. It’s the human decisions in response to unexpected events that make the difference between a well-run park and a poorly managed one. In summary, between the lack of information, inconsistent incident handling, understaffing, and poor attraction optimization, this visit was a major letdown. And it’s not just about bad luck — it’s about management choices. I won’t be going back anytime soon. Answer: Hello, Thank you for your response. I notice that your reply mainly tries to play with words ("control stop," "assisted exit") without ever addressing the core issue experienced by visitors. This kind of justification does nothing to change the poor on-site experience. Moreover, I note that there is neither an apology nor any sign of self-reflection in your message. The way you responded shows a lack of consideration for visitors, which is regrettable. Lastly, the reality is that the park’s management is far from satisfactory: extremely low throughput (300 people per hour on Kärnan), a lack of trains on coasters, very long dispatch times (often over 5 minutes), and understaffed and unmotivated employees at several attractions. Best regards,
Enzo C — Google review
Loved this park. We had such a good time there. Two stand out coasters with amazing surprise elements. We got food from the restaurant and it was quite nice, though pricy as you’d expect in theme parks. That drop tower really dominates the skyline of the park, amazing views from the top and a decent amount of time at the top.

An awesome park with a high quality lineup of rides featuring the absolutely awesome Flucht von Novgorod & Schwur des Kärnan roller coasters which are absolutely must-do rides. Food is good and high quality, and the whole place is full of passion. Highlander drop tower & Nessie roller coaster serve as great supporting attractions. The park is very fresh and well-kept. The only downside is sometimes the queues for Novgorod & Kärnan can get a fair bit longer than for any other ride, but otherwise this is a great park. I'm excited for their new ride Cornwall Coaster coming in 2026

A brilliant place to spend a day with the family. The food was good and the place was very clean.
Stuart G — Google review
I gave them 5 stars many years ago but now took them down to 3 cause during the years things have slowly declined. Don't get me wrong, the hotels are super nice and the pricing is so good during the off-season specials, but... * there are smokers EVEYWHERE blowing smoke in your and your kids faces. * Arcade area forces you to have cash as you cannot purchase game coins with cards. * last but not least the Playpark is fun but very noisy and extremely overcrowded with very long queues and chairs that rip your pants. The people were also very inconsiderate and wont give others turns on some of the equipment. Ending on a positive (sort of)... The swimming area is still super nice, fun and clean. They have really good change areas and lockers, but extremely scary stairs going to the swim zone. All in all its still a cheap getaway for the family and you still get more than your money's worth.

Overall a good place for families with kids - even sauna is intended for dressed visitors. A little bit pricey and the parking is not included in the price.

Nice pools, djungel land had bad acustics. Nice apartments but the area was really boring. We had construction sights on both sides of the apartment. Would have been nice to know before we booked. Really hard sofabed.
Ita D — Google review
UPD Anyway we decided to come by 14:30. It is good place inside: several slides, “lazy” river, big swimming pool, the little ones with warm water. There is a cafe and a shop inside, saunas. The good quality of service. All staff look like a qualified and pay very close attention to safety. The one moment which was not very good is the air temperature. Sometimes it is too cold, especially when the temporary staff (builders) (dresssed in the winter jackets) open the emergency exit door. Please pay attention: if you don’t want to pay for the towels - bring it from home. _____ We are going to come and relax here and the swimming pool is closed for half a day. So from 08.01 to 11.01 it will work from 14:30 only. And the children swimming pool and waves pool are closed too. The information about it is available only inside the Swimming pool. The google maps (which was updated a week ago) shows the swimming pool open. The same situation was on the official website.
Mariia T — Google review
All in all we had a great experience, the water park is amazing and there are plenty of things to do. I would suggest going when the kids are 3-4 years old, or older. We went off season in early spring, which were nice. Fairly crowded already, but i can only imagine how many people there would be during the season. All restaurant staff were friendly, but we had some run ins with the official resort staff, which just seemed to be annoyed at us being there. Its clean and well kept, great for kids. Way too few parking spaces of you rented a cabin, but all in all worth a trip 👍

Nice place overall, but expensive and very slippery
CH — Google review
Pretty nice place with a decent variety of activities for children. A good playground, carousels and scooter cars for 1€ a turn. The Subtropichen Badeparadis was unfortunately closed during our stay, because of the pandemic, but the Dsjungelland (Jungle land) wasn't - which was a great succes. We didn't eat at the restaurants on site, but they looked mediocre and slightly overpriced, as expected. The cafés were mediocre and overpriced. The Dünenbad wellness swimmingpools were nice and child-friendly. Our room, which was 'am der Düne' was spacy and comfortable, however the floors were sandy upon arrival, which made us question the overall cleanliness. The area was lively, but not noisy, mainly occupied by families with pre-teenage children. We had a good time here, despite the weather letting us down for the stay.

Well constructed bridge. There was an ongoing maintenance when I visited yet it was a great experience

The bridge is closed for pedestrians and cyclists for several months due to construction. There is a big bus that, free of charge, that transports you and your bike across. Hard to find the bus stop in Avendorf but it is close to the regular bus stop.

It's pretty much a pretty bridge. Careful! It's pretty windy, but that's pretty much what happens if you build a bridge over the sea. So as a cyclist don't complain, walk and enjoy the pretty view.

Incredibly beautiful! You can enjoy yourself there for a long time. Beautiful fish! The tunnel and the shark tank are the highlights. One of the most beautiful aquariums in Germany.
Roy — Google review
The place is nice, got many aquariums, but I would have loved more, while considering the price ticket! Nice staff too
Duha A — Google review
It feels a bit..like an old socialistic era inside. But some of the things though are nice - for example bio fluorescent setups, shark tank
Андрій Г — Google review
The experience is pretty nice, but the aquarium isn't maintained well, we had bugs all over us after the tour. It was very irritating.
Rohan C — Google review
A small aquarium with much to see, this busy attraction is priced perfectly for it's size. You'll need no more than an hour to go through or two if you want to take your time reading all the facts and information placed next to the exhibits. The shark tank is a good stop with a clear view of the mighty predators. It was busy and crowded when we visited in the summer but I would still recommend it to anyone who loves the sea life and what lays or lurks in our waters
Owen B — Google review
This aquariums has a nice collection of fish but seemed pretty run down and in need of renovation. What we liked: there were steps for the kids to see into the fish tanks almost everywhere. Booking tickets online allows to avoid the line. The fish tunnel was nice. A good amount of explanation for each tank (not too much, not too little information). Free parking. What we didn't like: the toilets smelled, the shark tank was a bit sad looking, few opportunities to sit down and enjoy the fish from a distance.
Petra N — Google review
With the entrance fee in mind, it's a bit disappointing. Yes, they do have a tunnel where you can see sharks and stingrays, and a huge aquarium with a big shark, but that's just about it. Everything looks a bit tired and worn.
Nicky L — Google review
They have actual sharks and a tunnel aquarium. Those are cool. But still it lacks maintenance and certainly not good enough for the 12 euro entry ticket we paid. Also note there were no English sign boards or descriptions for anything on display inside. Not a deal breaker for me but non-german speakers will be disappointed.

Knuthenborg Safaripark

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Wildlife and safari park
Outdoor Activities
Knuthenborg Safaripark is a popular drive-thru park in Denmark that features a diverse range of animals from around the world. The park is divided into 11 zones and also includes adventure and water play areas. Visitors can interact with friendly horses and goats as well as encounter more exotic creatures like monkeys, zebras, giraffes, and tigers. The tiger area has been recently upgraded to provide an even better experience for visitors.
We love Knuthenborg. We have been there 3 times (one of them while we still lived in the country). My 6 years old daughter loves to re-visit the monkey area as she enjoys feeding them. This particular time we also paid a visit to the dinosaur park and it was impressive. We are never able ti spot a tiger which is a minus. Usually there are donkeys on the road, but this time they were hiding somewhere. The zebras were also far away from the road. The employees are always kind and friendly. Prices on all merchandise are high. You can bring your own picnic basket from home in case you are concerned about the price and speed of preparation of the food. If I lived in Denmark, I would buy an yearly pass to visit it more than once a year.
Lora O — Google review
Knuthenborg Safaripark is located in a lush area near the town of Maribo in Denmark and is considered one of the largest safari parks in Northern Europe. In this park, visitors can drive their own vehicles along designated routes through open and natural landscapes, getting up close to wild animals such as giraffes, tigers, rhinos, Arctic wolves, and many more. The natural and open setting allows animals to live in an environment similar to their native habitats, offering visitors a more authentic and immersive wildlife experience. In addition to the safari section, the park offers a variety of attractions for families, including a large playground, forest walking trails, and educational exhibits about the environment and animals. There are also accommodations within the park, allowing guests to stay overnight surrounded by nature and enjoy a unique and memorable experience. The park is designed to provide a peaceful and pleasant environment for both day trips and extended stays.
Nikoo S — Google review
Would have rated it with more stars but the new experience of seeing tigers and lions is not good. There is very less chance of seeing those animals. Not from the bridge nor from the panoramic window. The good parts are the dinosaur forest experience and the 2 roller coasters for the thrill.
Cornelia P — Google review
Hopefully this review can help the park make some improvements. The plus side is that you are able to get quite close to the animals and see savanna wildlife in a beautiful setting. The down sides are worth keeping in mind should you plan a family trip there. We stayed there overnight for a quite substantial amount of money for 2 adults and one 7 year old - approx 900 euros. Barely any staff available in the park. Poor directions and signage to drive around. Would be helpful to get a recommended order for the visit. And more info on the animals. In the tent, you are expected to wash, dry and put away your dishes with the threat of a 60 euro fine should you miss doing that. Empty your trash. Put on and take away your bed linen just to mention a few things that you would expect to be included when paying that much for 1 night. The food we ordered to prepare in the tent was bland. Compared to skanes djurpark in Sweden I would say you get much less for your money. I wrote a review for that too so anyone can check it out. It’s a pity because it’s such a beautiful sanctuary.
Johanna N — Google review
We’ve been to the park a few times and it never lets us down. The park is massive and there’s lots to see and discover. You can bring your own food or eat at the various points in the park dedicated to it, apart from the animals that stroll freely on huge terrains there’s also a big kiddy’s park at the bottom that if you go at the designated hours there’s a small rollercoaster and the water log ride included in the entrance price( that if you buy it online you save 30% off the price ) . Very recommended.
Thomas H — Google review
Great place. Kind and service minded staff. We rented a cabin for 4 days. Bring food whit you, if you rent a cabin. There are many picknic tables around the park. So you can bring food whit you on a daily trip also. If you rent a cabin gate close at 17:00 and you can't drive in or out. But you can walk around the park and some hours drive around. Great place for family. We was here in end of season.(October) a little cold, but it's was okey.
Christoffer D — Google review
It’s a like in the wild experience. It’s really a big park so you’ll need to have your car to go around and see the animals, there are also places you can walk to see other animals. Better start the tour in the morning if you’re planning for just a day trip but they also offer accommodation for families. There’s also different activities for kids. 🫶🏻💕
Sittie D — Google review
Absolutely fantastic experience. The animals roam free and there are plenty to see. For me the highlight was the dinosaur museum! With a collection of real bones from the biggest dinosaurs, you get to feel small next to these huge creatures. Would highly recommend. And remember to buy tickets online

The Medieval Center

Museum
Heritage museum
The Medieval Center is a living history museum that offers a glimpse into the life of a small market town from the Middle Ages. Visitors can immerse themselves in the early-15th-century medieval village, complete with costumed craftspeople demonstrating various activities such as archery, jousting tournaments, and firing of a trebuchet. The old merchant's house with its own harbor and boats provides picturesque scenery, while hands-on play experiences cater to children.
Outdoor living history museum. Went with a small group and we all had a wonderful visit. It was very informative yet entertaining at the same time, with points of interest for both young and old. Would definitely recommend stopping by. All of the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. There is a cafe on site but there are also picnic spaces available. Be sure to arrive before 12:00, so you can see the firing of the trebuchet/catapult. This was one of the highlights of our visit, along with the knight's tournament.
Marie F — Google review
This was great fun! Saw the jousting and trebuchets in action and visited with the blacksmith and weaver.
Julie W — Google review
If you're a fan of the Middle Ages, you've got to go there! Not only do they offer the wonderful recreation of a medieval village, with many houses and shops made with care from the overall architecture to the tiniest details, but you can also attend a tournament, visit an enchanted forest with truly amazing houses (that fit although they're 19C-inspired), and see Medieval machines they have built from scratch. As a bonus, the gift shop offers a Medieval beer they have also recreated and that is made to be palatable to us moderners. A truly wonderful visit.
David D — Google review
Nice place to enjoy the technology and life-style from earlier days. The people working there really enjoy their job and it feels like becoming a visitor of the medieval. Great for kids and with a lot of opportunities to explore the world ages ago. German speaking at the entrance is not a problem.
Torsten K — Google review
We had a great day with our preteen kids. Lots of activities and you can try out many different things. Places to eat, to play, to explore and the staff is always there to explain and share stories. The knight games were awesome! We paid around 500 to enter, and afterwards we found it absolutely worth it. Recommend to come early though, as some of the main activities are timed and done once a day. Parking is free.
Albert S — Google review
This is a magical place. I visited it as a volunteer and got to live there for a whole week like in the Middle Ages. I enjoyed the stay from my heart. Lots of time to tell visitors about medieval baking and show my craft and equipment, including the period appropriate sleeping quarter. Even when there was a slight rain, the areal with its reconstructed buildings was alive with the other international re-enactors who had joined to spend the week there. Visit this place when you are in Denmark. Especially if there is an event with many volunteers. And if you do, don't just walk through the village between the shooting of the trebuchet and the tourney. Go everywhere, try out the small ways, look in windows and doors and ask everyone you meet. All the "medieval" people there have interesting things to tell. They might even let you try out stuff. With children the Center can be a marvellous adventure if you go exploring.
Sebastian S — Google review
Incredible place to visit. Must see! Come early to see it all: the trebuched shooting and the knight tournament! All is so well presented you feel the history alive around you. A very child-friendly place. I'll cherish this day there always.
Janne H — Google review
Awesome experience! Went with my friends (all in our 20s) and it was great fun speaking to the people doing traditional crafts, seeing the trebuchet being fired and the jousting. I would have enjoyed if there was a schedule on when the different craftsmen were at their buildings though

Great amusement park , with a lot of great options for all age groups. What I like the most is that we could bring our food inside and enjoy little picnic time. Is the place where we can spend whole day and still get to see new things around(is the big area, there are many amazing things in different corners 🙂) . Great parking space, few games has long queue but most of them had short waiting time. Its advantage that kids under 90 cm has a free entry. There is small water park for kids, so it’s better to take their swimming customs if they love playing with water.

1. A bit too expensive. Differentiate between people taking the rides and those who just accompany them. 2. Many attractions were closed, and there was no info about it before er entered. 3. It's quite pricey - also with the golden membership card. 4. A bit neglected here and there. 5. What is that thing with farting in Bonbon Land? Is this really something that you can offer children in their spare time? (Show about farting, etc.) 6. Food is junk and expensive. 90% is just trash like slush ice, french fries, and coke. Besides: good size, quite many different places to play around, a lot of attractions where 3-4 years old can ride on, and rather friendly staff.

Stay away if you have small children! This place is only for adults/ senior citizens. Outside there is some old carnival machines, which my son played with eight when we arrived. We asked inside of they would open / turn on, but where told that they only opened in vacations but we could play on them. Instantly one of the other senior citizens that run the place complained that they are not up to code... Odly enough nothing was fenced off and no signs said it was closed. While buying tickets me and my 3 year old wanted to go in, but where told off. Inside the museum was very cool, but a lot of small pieces where in every exhibition with everywhere signed DONT TOUCH DONT TOUCH. This is extremely hard to communicate to small children when there is stuff everywhere, either have less loose stuff or have some exhibitions where touch is allowed. While me and my son was looking at things my wife was talking to the volunteers and apparently my very small man purse was a problem because I might tip something over. We ended up leaving after 10 minutes. The volunteers where extremely hostile, except for one. Stay away unless you like angry senior citizens or can ignore it and look at the cool stuff.

An interesting stop on the way to Møns Klint. An open cow farm with about 200 cows. We got to see how they live and petted some calves. There’s a boutique and a cafe where they serve ice cream with the milk from the farm. There were many flavors. The ice cream is a gelato style, so not very creamy but still quite good. They use premade ice cream mixes, add flavors and fresh ecological milk from the farm. Very well suited for kids. There are even mini tractors kids can drive around - super popular!

I cannot stress enough how incredible our experience was at Møn Is. Following our Airbnb host's advice, we skipped the grocery store and other stands, heading straight here, and we were blown away. The kids were entertained with toy tractors and cows, exploring the milking station, and getting up close with the cows. But the highlight was undoubtedly the ice cream itself; it was hands down the best I've ever had. I can't recommend this place enough—do yourself a favor and make sure to visit Møn Is. It's an absolute must!

A Blissful Ice Cream Experience at Møn Is in Denmark! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If there was a heaven for ice cream lovers, it would undoubtedly be Møn Is in Denmark. My recent visit to this delightful ice cream parlor left me mesmerized and craving for more. From the moment I stepped inside, I was met with a warm, inviting ambiance that set the tone for an unforgettable experience. Let's talk about the star of the show—the ice cream itself! I can't stress enough how incredibly delicious it was. The flavors were diverse and creative, offering a range of both classic and unique combinations. The creaminess was unparalleled, and every spoonful melted in my mouth like a dream. Møn Is has truly perfected the art of ice cream making. What makes Møn Is even more exceptional is their commitment to using fresh farm milk. You can taste the difference! The milk used in their ice cream gives it a distinct, rich, and creamy texture that leaves you wanting more. It's evident that they prioritize quality ingredients, and it truly shines through in their ice cream. The staff at Møn Is was not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about their products. They were more than willing to help me choose flavors that suited my preferences and even offered some delightful recommendations. Their passion for ice cream and dedication to customer satisfaction was evident in every interaction. The setting of Møn Is, nestled in the picturesque Danish countryside, added to the overall experience. Enjoying my ice cream amidst the beauty of nature was simply magical. It's the kind of place that leaves you feeling relaxed and at peace with the world. Whether you're a local or a tourist exploring Denmark, a visit to Møn Is is an absolute must. You haven't truly experienced ice cream until you've tasted theirs. I can confidently say that Møn Is has spoiled me for all other ice creams, and I'll be reminiscing about this unforgettable experience for a long time to come. If I could give Møn Is more than five stars, I would in a heartbeat. From the delectable ice cream flavors to the outstanding fresh farm milk, every aspect of this ice cream parlor exceeded my expectations. Møn Is is, without a doubt, the ice cream destination of dreams. Don't miss out on this extraordinary gem when you're in Denmark!

Super cool experience, where you can go in and see the cows and calves. Most of the farm is open for you to walk around in on your own. Yummy ice cream and gift shop full of local products.
Helena A — Google review
One of the best ice creams in the country. And I mean that since I love ice cream and I consider myself an ice cream expert because of the amount of ice cream I eat. And I don't say no for an ice cream so I can say I tasted almost all the brands available in the market here. So I can say that this ice cream is one of the very best. They also offer very different and yummy flavors. The price is also good. Then you can have a tour of the place while eating your big ice cream.😉

Roskilde Cathedral

Mentioned on 
51 lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Roskilde Cathedral, a 12th-century Gothic brick cathedral in Denmark, is a significant monument due to its unique architecture and historical importance. It is the first brick-built Gothic-style cathedral in Scandinavia and has evolved over 800 years to reflect changing architectural styles. The cathedral serves as the royal family's burial church, housing the tombs of numerous kings and queens. Visitors can explore its imposing exteriors and interiors while learning about Danish history.
You have to visit Roskilde Cathedral! Its amazing brickwork and unique style are so impressive, but the history inside is even better. Exploring the royal tombs is truly fascinating – especially look for the hidden tombstone of the three-legged horse and other cool myths surrounding the royal burials! The stunning Antwerp altarpiece and detailed royal tombs are also a beautiful sight. It was a fantastic visit, totally worth your time to discover its secrets!
K. D — Google review
As a history enthusiast, I was absolutely blown away by Roskilde Cathedral. This UNESCO World Heritage site is not just a stunning architectural marvel, but a living timeline of Danish royal history. Touring it with Ophelia Tours made the experience even more unforgettable - our guide Rene was knowledgeable, passionate, and made the entire visit engaging and fun. The cathedral’s sheer historical significance is staggering. It’s the final resting place of over 40 Danish monarchs, including Queen Margrethe I and King Christian IV. Walking through its chapels feels like stepping back in time - each one reflects the artistic styles and political shifts of the era in which it was built. From Gothic to Baroque to Renaissance, the cathedral is a tapestry of over 800 years of Danish history. The detail inside is breathtaking. The intricate tombs, the majestic organ, the soaring vaulted ceilings, and the peaceful crypts all tell powerful stories. I especially loved learning how the cathedral evolved over time and seeing how each generation left its mark - something you rarely get to witness so vividly in one place. Roskilde itself is a charming town, full of cozy streets, great cafés, and a welcoming vibe. It made the perfect day trip from Copenhagen - peaceful, beautiful, and rich with history. Highly recommend both the cathedral and Ophelia Tours. This was truly a highlight of our Denmark trip!

Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. Today we celebrate its 30yrs. Very much worth a visit. Roskilde Cathedral is one of the most meaningful places to visit in Denmark, see a thousand years of Royal history, architectural masterpieces and art. Parking: limited parking available, 2hrs free parking and there will be a charge after that. Toilet is available inside the cathedral Disability access: may be a bit challenging as most areas have stairs. But may go around the plain floored part of the cathedral Original structure: Began as a church built by King Harald Bluetooth around 980 AD (made of wood). • The current brick cathedral replaced the earlier church around 1170–1280. • It was one of the first Gothic-style cathedrals in Scandinavia, built mainly from red brick, influencing church architecture across Northern Europe. 👑 Royal Burial Site • Since the 15th century, Roskilde Cathedral has been the main burial site for Danish monarchs. • Over 40 Danish kings and queens are buried here — including: • Queen Margrethe I (founder of the Kalmar Union) • King Christian IV • King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid • Future monarchs, like Queen Margrethe II, also have tombs prepared there - refer to last photos Inside the Cathedral • Richly decorated altars, frescoes, and royal sarcophagi. • Features impressive organ pipes and historic tombs made of marble and alabaster. • Each royal chapel is unique, showing how Danish art and architecture evolved through the centuries.

A true marvel of a cathedral, a burial place for many Danish kings. We took a tour that took as to the cathedral on a bus. We arrived right before the opening, and the whole place without crowds that appeared a short while later. The place is rich in history but a tour guide really helps to appreciate that. Otherwise it may look like a regular church.

Not far from the Roskilde Station. Going into Roskilde Cathedral feels like walking straight into the past. This is where Danish kings and queens have been buried for hundreds of years. You'll walk past royal tombs some in fancy and beautiful stone bed for a queen or king. The real "design" highlight is the royal chapels, which are like small museums themselves. Each one was built in a different time period, so you see everything from medieval wall paintings to huge, dramatic Baroque and Renaissance tombs.

Viking Ship Museum

Mentioned on

Archaeological museum
Museums
The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, Denmark, offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient and medieval maritime culture. The museum is home to five remarkably well-preserved Viking ships that were excavated at Skuldelev and date back to the 11th century. Visitors can explore original 1,000-year-old Viking ships as well as exact replicas at the museum harbor.
An unforgettable experience for anyone who loves Norse history and mythology! The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde is not just a museum - it’s a journey into the heart of the Viking world. Standing face to face with actual ships that once sailed the seas over a thousand years ago gave me chills. These vessels, recovered from the Roskilde Fjord, are deeply tied to the seafaring spirit of the Norse people. If you're passionate about Nordic mythology, this place is a dream. You can easily imagine these ships as the kind that carried warriors who worshipped Odin, sailed under Thor’s protection, and told tales of Loki’s mischief by the fire. The longships here evoke the legendary drakkars - dragon-headed ships said to sail across Midgard and into mythic battles. The museum also shows how real Viking life blended seamlessly with the mythological world. The sea wasn't just water - it was sacred and feared, ruled by gods and creatures from the sagas. The craftsmanship of the ships reflects this reverence. There are also live demonstrations of traditional boatbuilding using ancient tools, and you can even sail in replica Viking ships yourself - a truly immersive way to feel like part of a saga. Beautifully located on the fjord, this museum is a must-visit. Whether you're a history buff, a mythology lover, or both, this is one of the most inspiring and atmospheric museums in Denmark.

At the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, you’ll see the real Viking history — quite literally in pieces. The remains of five original Viking ships are displayed here, each with its own story of sea voyages, trade, and warfare. There are guided tours and activities running throughout the day, so it’s worth checking the schedule when you arrive. The guide shares the fascinating history behind the five ships that were discovered just a stone’s throw from here, in Roskilde Fjord. For those feeling hands-on, there’s a small workshop where you can try building your own miniature Viking ship. The kids especially loved hammering and sawing away. I had signed up for the sailing tour, where you get to sail on a Viking ship and even help raise the sail as part of the crew. Unfortunately, only four of us showed up out of the ten tickets sold — the rain kept the rest away. Without enough people for the weight balance, the trip had to be cancelled. Safe to say, I was pretty disappointed — it’s not every day you get to sail like a Viking. There’s also a restaurant by the museum. I tried the Viking platter — decent, but nothing to shout about.

Not far from the Copenhagen, about 30 mins train ride. Just a reminder, you have to walk about 30-40 mins from Roskilde Station to the Viking Museum. Arrived at the Roskilde Viking Ship Museum around mid morning. There are two areas: first inside the agreat Hall, you'll see the five ancient Skuldelev ships in somewhat in skeletons forms. You'll feel a quiet awe just looking at their thousand-year-old remains. Second part is the outside where you'll see a beautiful place view with tons of boats. Tons of things to do outside, you can watch boatbuilders meticulously crafting replica ships in the boatyard. You can also sail out on the fjord in one of the reconstructed longships, sadly no more available slots for the day. If you have the budget and you'd like to fully experience, I suggest to pre book before going. Since we went during summer (end of August) you are allowed to climb aboard other replicas at the harbor, even try on Viking clothes. Overall it's a full experience.

One of the most important attractions and museums during the visit to Copenhagen (40minutes by train). Staff are so welcoming with smile. Cinematography short movie in many languages will help a lot to understand the museum. The workshops outside will show you how the V-boats were built. Don’t miss it
Jean Z — Google review
A world-class and unique experience which is a must-visit if you're coming to Copenhagen as it's brilliant and only a 30-minute ride on the train (which is cheap and very frequent). See several recovered Viking long ships, discover about the different types and how they were built and used and then see expert craftspeople making replicas for experimental archaeology - sailing them to see how the Vikings would have used them. You can also become part of a crew in a small longboat close to the centre. And kids can design and make their own boat in wood with hand tools. Free tours in Danish and English by students are good and friendly. The venue hosts special exhibitions downstairs in the main hall. Several places to eat and drink on-site. Medium-size car park. If walking from the town train station, it's a pleasant and mostly flat walk. The shop has lots of Danish culture things to buy as well as stuff related to the Vikings. All staff friendly and helpful.

This museum is an incredible place filled with authentic Viking ships, fascinating artifacts, and tons of interesting facts about the Vikings. Both children and adults will find plenty to explore and enjoy. During my visit, there was a blacksmith workshop where a skilled craftsman demonstrated traditional forging techniques. There was also a shipbuilding area where craftsmen were using hand tools to build seaworthy Viking ships — a truly impressive sight. For kids, there’s a small hands-on workshop where they can build their own miniature ships from scrap wood and test them in a water pool. There’s also a replica of a Viking household, complete with Viking clothing you can try on and a play area for children. The museum also has an excellent restaurant with delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. And best of all — if the weather is good, you can join the crew of a real Viking ship replica and sail out to sea. An unforgettable experience!

I was a bit sceptical at first when i read its about one Viking boat restored. But there are 5 of them, and , whats more they have been fully rebuilt and are available even to step-in at the port next to the museum ! I learnt a lot from the short film in the museum. Go to the boat workshop at the port - they are just building a new boat, using old traditional tools, and you can chat with craftsmen. It was Worth a visit/trip from Copenhagen.

Roskilde Viking ship museum is a fantastic place. The museum has the excavated remains of Viking vessels, with activities for kids. Outside are reconstructed vessels and workshops where they are experimentally building new Viking vessels. Good facilities and cafes, free entry with a Copenhagen card and easily signposted from Roskilde train station. Well worth a visit.

Cold war museum Stevnsfort

The Cold War Museum Stevnsfort, located in South Zealand, Denmark, offers guided tours of a 1950s underground fortress carved into limestone cliffs. This fortress served as a crucial element of defense for Denmark and NATO during the Cold War. The site features well-preserved equipment and offers an intriguing tour that includes visits to anti-aircraft batteries, anti-ship turrets from a German WWII battleship, and deep underground command posts and armories.
Nobody was supposed to know. Nobody was allowed to talk about it. Buried deep in a piece of cliff, Stevnsfort was a top-secret building block in the defense of Denmark and NATO during the Cold War. The so called Stevnsfort in Denmark is the Last Fortress of the Cold War Era: A hidden Frontline, deep under the Surface. Read the full story about the forgotten fortress here:

Stevns Klint UNESCO World Heritage site is a geologically significant chalk and limestone cliff located in Stevns, Denmark. Rising 41 meters above sea level, it offers visitors world-class experiences and the best place to see traces of the asteroid that caused mass extinction 66 million years ago. The area features walking paths, an old church, and a museum about the formation of Stevns Klint.
I visited Stevns Klint in Denmark. It is an awesome treat for your eyes, with picturesque and stunning views. The cliffs and coastal scenery make it a must-visit spot for nature lovers. There is so much space for picnic and barbecue. Parking is with fee. Easy access from parking and not so much trekking needed. There are steep steps to get down to the beech. Highly recommend it!

Enjoyable little stop. There's the UNESCO site with a couple small churches and a stairway down to the beach (closed when we visited in March), where you can see the cliffs. A couple minutes up the coast is the lighthouse along with free parking and a bathroom. You can't see the cliffs from there but they have free binoculars to see around the area.

Small place with breathtaking viewpoints all along the clif. Just watch out, hardly any fences and the cliffs must be around 50-70 meters high. At the far end there is a rather large paid (5 euro, card only) parking from where its a 2 minute walk to the church and start of hiking trails along the cliffs

Visited late in the afternoon so there were not a lot of people around. The view of the cliffs were amazing from the old church.

The museum has some special exhibitions, and little by little visitors emerge into the artistic world. I enjoy the welcoming and warm of the staff members, and how kind they communicate with the customers but also between each others transmitting a nice feeling of a community. For some video projections more seats are needed as there was no space for everyone. The location is simply beautiful. Other than that, there is a big parking place also used by those going to the strand and not visiting the museum, and a small bycicle space.

If you love modern art, this is the place for you. Plus it sits in a beautiful surrounding, with walks around the lakes and by the sea.

An interesting modern art museum by the coast. Not the most inspiring building on the outside, but good exhibits, café/restaurant and shop. Unfortunately, the day we came there was extremely loud construction going on. The museum gave cheap entrance and a free coffee because of the noise, but it would have been nice if they had stated the ongoing work on their website. Still a good place to visit and very nice food. Our highlight was the plastic ball pool for all ages. Lots of parking but unfortunately no electric car charging available.

The building is being repaired as I went there, the inside is cleaned and well-maintained. The artworks of the royals and the shields are a bit special though, I also enjoyed the nouveau history bit that was shown on the third floor. The price was good for such a big exhibition. Now as for why I'm only rating it 3 stars, I personally don't think it's worth going out of your way to buy a ticket outside of Copenhagen to go here, because the inside of the castle looks a lot like that of any other's in Europe that I've been in so it's not very memorable and the vicinity is pretty bland in comparison with the inner part of the city.. don't misunderstand though, I'm not warning anyone against visiting this. If you're using public transport I'd recommend buying single tickets and not the big city pass, outside the main city the town isn't very touristy.

Frederiksborg Castle

Frederiksborg Castle, a stunning lakeside palace nestled in Hillerod, Denmark, is a treasure trove of Danish and royal history. Originally constructed in the early 17th century for King Christian IV, this magnificent fortress showcases Dutch Renaissance architecture and stands proudly amidst its picturesque moat-lake. Visitors can explore the expansive grounds featuring beautifully manicured baroque gardens and access the central courtyards without charge.
Absolutely stunning! Frederiksborg Castle is without a doubt one of the most impressive baroque palaces I’ve ever visited - and I’ve seen many across Europe. The architecture is grand and elegant, with richly decorated rooms full of history, royal portraits, and fascinating artifacts. The chapel alone is a masterpiece, and knowing that Danish monarchs were crowned there adds a real sense of significance. The surrounding grounds are equally breathtaking. The baroque garden is massive and beautifully kept, offering amazing views of the castle from different angles. You can easily spend hours walking around the lake, gardens, and courtyards. Fun historical note: the castle was built by King Christian IV in the early 1600s and later restored after a major fire, thanks in part to the founder of Carlsberg beer! It now houses Denmark’s National Portrait Gallery and offers a deep dive into Danish royal history. A must-visit if you’re anywhere near Copenhagen — worth the short trip to Hillerød. Peaceful, majestic, and unforgettable. It made me think of some amazing palaces of Peterhoff, Saints Peterburg.

Frederiksborg Castle is a grand and beautiful castle located about an hour from Copenhagen 🇩🇰. You can take a train to Hillerød Station, and from there it’s an easy 1 km walk to the castle 🚶‍♂️. Entry fee is 110 DKK per person, and the castle is surrounded by stunning gardens and a peaceful lake that make the whole place truly picturesque 🌿🏰. When we visited, some parts were under renovation, and the museum inside didn’t have much that was interactive. Still, the architecture and royal atmosphere make it a pleasant visit, especially if you love history and photography 📸. If you’re short on time, we’d recommend visiting Kronborg and Rosenborg first, and then Frederiksborg — in that order ⏱️. Each has its own charm, but Kronborg and Rosenborg felt more engaging overall ✨.

Nice place to visit if you are staying in Copenhagen and have half a day extra time! The castle is surrounded by a very beautiful park and a nice lake. The museum also worth visiting, if you are interested in danish history!

Why visit? ✅ If limited on time, tour the grounds for free (no cost). ✅ Regarding the grounds, there are so many different views to enjoy while walking the property: gardens, waterfronts, bridges, courtyards, etc. ✅ The castle interior (admission required) is loaded with artwork, antiques, and rooms that stun with both size and intricate detail. Why skip? Honestly, I can’t think of any reason. If limited on time, at least walk to the grounds to get a good look. If spending a day in town, this is THE attraction to visit.

This is a lovely easy day trip out of Copenhagen. A single 40 minute ride on the E train to Hillerød station then a 15 minute walk or short bus ride to the castle. The castle is huge and rarely crowded, but the vast rooms, artwork, and gardens are gorgeous. Check out the tour times before you visit - we were lucky to arrive just in time for the English language tour and it was superb. The castle is an easy walk from town, but there’s also a small boat which does a lap of the lake and for a small fee takes you to the garden and the far side of the castle.

We knew this place was one of those 'must see' locations on the island of Sjælland and I vaguely remembered going there when I was 12, entry is also included within the Copenhagen Card. We had actually spent the entire day in Copenhagen the day previously and so had always planned to head north the following morning. We were back at Tivoli by the afternoon so definitely recommend this as a day if you've the stamina. Very impressive castle and worth the visit. It would probably have been better a few weeks later when the wee boat on the Slotssøen was running again (too early in the season) but then I imagine you'd want more than just a morning in the area when the weather is warmer too. The bonus was that it was really quiet - you'll see from the photos we were often the only family in these huge and spectacular rooms.
