Museum about the prehistory of the region. The main focus is the Nebra solar disk. But it has a lot of other very interesting prehistoric pieces. If you are in Halle (Saale) Go visit this museum.

Absolutely wonderful artefacts BUT!!! All text is in german so we foreigners are kept out. No brochure for the different floors. This could be easily helped by asking a highschool class to translate all the information on each floor to english and then have them set a QR code next to each text. I am so intreaged by all this interesting history but feel cheated since my german is not good enough to understand the information in german. I asked if they had audial information in english but- no. Why?

The museum is very modern with great atmosphere, exhibits and stories. The price is small. The panels are mostly in English for mid sized displays, with some English for overview info only.

Such an interesting and well-curated exhibition - you can spend several hours here. The only negative was that several staff members were rather unfriendly, especially in the Café and gift shop.

Wonderful museum that is packed with unique artefacts mainly from the prehistoric periods (although later periods are also covered). For prehistorians, it is a paradise place! The Nebra sky disc is of course amazing, but I'd say I enjoyed even more some of the other exhibits, eg. the Shamanin's room and the early figurines. Thank you for providing at least the main information in English, it would be nice if more of the information was translated!

We been thrilled by this beautiful museum and the way how history and science is presented! This is one of the top museums and I can highly recommend to take some time and enjoy. We been there for 6h and easily could stay for 2 more.

Great experience. A typical traditional museum where the visitor is a passive observer. The only thing personal in Museum have to think about is the fact that some visitors are not German speakers and that it would be great to put English language notes under the exhibits. Suggestion for the first time visitors: start with top flour of the Museum.

This Is the most amazing zoo I've ever been to. It's so big with the kids. We could only see a portion of it, but the jungle experience especially with the boat ride was so cool. All of the exhibits are wonderful. I would highly recommend to anyone to visit the zoo. Easily one of the best zoos in the world.

Beautiful zoo with a rich variety of animals and habitats! Especially Gondwanaland was amazing giving you the feeling of actually being in the jungle!( don’t forget to get on the little boat trip, super cheap and worth the experience). Love, Greece!!!🇬🇷❤️

Leipzig Zoo is one of the best zoos I‘ve ever visited. Large enclosures. Many events throughout the day. Amazing infrastructure (you can find maps, sign posts, and directions for a tour that leads you through the entire zoo everywhere). They also don’t solely focus on the animals as mere entertainment but seek to inform kids in playful ways about preservation/biology/even physics in the aquarium. Leipzig Zoo also provides a variety of restaurants and snack bars that are evenly distributed across the entire Zoo. I wholly recommend visiting, whether alone or with friends and family. It’s an amazing and informative experience!

Best zoo in Germany especially with huge greenhouse of tropical forest and self moving boats along river with warm climate. Highly recommended for both adults and children alike

This zoo park was fantastic. I would recommend this to everyone. There is so much to see and you should have water with you because food and water prices there is too expensive. WC is free which is very good. And I suggest you guys to go early there, zoo opens at 9 am and closes at 7pm. As I mentioned earlier there is lot to see so you probably will need some rest. And one good thing about this zoo park is that you see animals without any borders and it is kind of crazy but it is safe. So enjoy with your trip everyone.

Zoo Leipzig is a great place to visit with kids. The grounds are very clean with almost no smell, and there are nice play and climbing facilities for children. A fun and family-friendly zoo experience!

This zoo is arguably the best in Europe. The animals have the freedom to roam, creating a more natural environment, and plenty of dining options are available. Don’t miss the chance to watch the monkeys and explore Gondwanaland. It's truly a fantastic spot for some quality time with your children.

Beautiful church with stained glass windows. We had the pleasure of attending a musical showcase with the Thomanerchor Leipzig. This was such an amazing experience. When visiting remember to also look up at the domed roof and admire the small intricate designs.

Bach's church where he worked and lived, and is buried. This is a must-see If you are in Leipzig. The interior is beautiful with stained glass and various carvings and ornamentation. The church and connected buildings are very large. I saw a couple school groups here.

Seeing Bach's church was the reason we came to Germany and it didn't disappoint, at least according to my Bachophile son. It was easy to buy tickets at the door and you could easily see the whole thing in 30 minutes. But very contemplative and it's fun to imagine history's greatest composer walking those same steps. I'd recommend bringing some headsets and Bach albums (although the museum next door had ample samples) as it was silent when we were there. There's a few interesting artifacts from Bach.

I visited this church in March, 2025. I was deeply moved to visit this church, so rich in history and positive energy. Moreover, I felt the timelessness of Bach’s notes resonating throughout the space. It was truly thrilling! 💖

Beautiful church with excellent comprehensive guide in English. Don't miss the Bach artefacts in the small room on the right of the main entrance. Interesting stained glass and contemporary Bach organ. For those following Martin Luther, there's a window of him with Frederick the Wise and Melanchthon.

st. thomas church (thomaskirche) in leipzig is famous for its music. it's where j.s. bach worked for 27 years and is buried. it's also home to the legendary st. thomas boys choir (thomanerchor) – try to catch their weekly performances (motets) if you can. it's a beautiful, historic church and a must-see for any music fan in leipzig

This is one of the must see places in Leipzig. The place is temple for music and prayer. The art work and high gothic domes and the vibe is positive. It’s great to see that this was a great place for Leipzig music history.

Biggest train stations in Europe lots of stores and restaurants to choose from that are mostly all good plus a lot of railways definitely a place to visit for tourists from Germany or other countries.

Good street food restaurants ,a nice place to pause in between travels !

The largest in Europe.. 😍 Best train station I have been! 👌 With multiple railways and connecting Trips to offer.. A Subway can also be found in this big trainstation... And no worry for having a long connecting Trips, a mall is also within the Station. Various Restaurants and Shops available..

So far the nicest Bahnhof I've seen in Germany, always busy with people passing through and people just coming to shop. As it houses so many great stores to shop in over 3 levels with so many things to see and amazing food options. You can't come to leipzig without seeing it as it is the main train station. Even made more lovely around Christmas or as they say Weinachten, as lots more food stalls open up.

This station is very big, but it is really easy to find the way. Electronic devices such as ticket machines, th e screens are well thought and useful

Super convenient, many shops. The architecture is very impressive too. At the same time, it's noisy, it's crowded. Well, it's a railway station after all.

Beautiful Christmas decorations inside of the building, which adds up to the uniqueness of the historical building.

This amazing monument is a powerful reminder of the past and history. You can really feel the strong emotions when you’re there. Be prepared for lots of staircases—there are more than 350 steps, and some of them are in narrow, tiny hallways. It’s definitely not for claustrophobic people, but there’s an elevator that takes you up part of the way, though it doesn’t reach the top. It’s a great place to visit during the summer or spring when the weather is nice!

A stunning monument that witnessed through its history empires, kingdoms and republics coming and going…. A must see by everyone who loves history! Fabulous views to the city as well as relaxing beautiful park!

Great experience with a rich history. I chose a non audio self tour and would highly recommend this. It's a place of reflection and would rather go undisturbed. The staircase to the top is steep though. Just so you know 😉

If you had only one thing to do in Leipzig, please visit this place. This monument is the tallest in all of Europe and it commemorates the war that broke Napoleon. No tickets required

This intense and impressive monument is a MUST SEE if you are in Leipzig. The scale is stunning and is reminiscent of the Mines of Moria in Lord of the Rings. There are multiple lifts but if you want to get to the top viewing area, you have to use the stairs and it is a little walk. No bad, but most people emerged a little winded and sweaty. The sweeping views of Leipzig are great and, if you go on a sunny day, you can see many miles/kilometers in every direction. Highly recommended.

A really impressive monument. It really makes you feel the enormity of the event being memorialized much like the World War I monument in Kansas City. There was a feeling of heaviness about the monument and it made me feel retrospective. A very nice visit. A stroll through the cemetery nextdoor is also warranted.

the monument to the battle of the nations in leipzig is a massive, seriously impressive monument commemorating napoleon's defeat in the 1813 battle. it's one of europe's largest, and you can climb to the top for panoramic views of leipzig. inside, the huge stone figures are really powerful. it's a bit outside the city center but easily reached by tram and definitely worth a visit for its history and scale

Wen there with Institute excursion and it was an amazing experience. Great history with immersive experience. Highly recommended with audio guide. While visiting the museum you'll know all about the history of Auto Union. Also I suggest that while you're visiting the museum, plan your coffee and meals and the Horch Cafe and Restaurant present inside, food is exceptionally good with fair prices there and the service is the best.

Huge museum with a lot of unique cars and of course, Zwickau being where the Trabant was built during the DDR era, a lot of different Trabis !

This is a very impressive Museum, which I visited last weekend. It is a Must-See if you are in this part of Germany, and shows all the exhibits you would hope. It is located in part of the original factory with some excellent contemporary additions. It is a master class in designing a transport museum. Where original cars do not exist, they have built precise replicas, an outstanding if expensive solution. There is an extremely good audio visual presentation of Auto-Union's racing programme in the 1930's which focusses on the cars and the great drivers, Stuck, Nuvolari and Rosemeyer. The post war history focusses on the Trabant which was produced here, and shows the amazing innovative body production system. I had hoped to see something of the post-war DKW's but of course they were produced in the west. The Cafe is first class and the service fast and cheerful. Have no fear, you will not starve here! The shop seems heavily Trabant-oriented but I know there is a strong following.

A truly magical place, unlike any other ordinary museum I have ever been to. The cars exposited are nicely incorporated into the scenery, not only creating a feast for the eyes but also satisfiying your inner childness with the interactive elements. The highlight of the whole visit would personally have to be the temporary exposition of Audi's legacy in endurance racing, where one could see all the legendary Audi LMP1s, including my beloved Le Mans winning 2014 R18 e-tron quattro.

Awesome car after awesome car. A beautifully laid out museum that showed the development of the automobile industry and the major impact August Horch had on the industry. I also learned that he was involved in the development of Germany's WWI tank. This museum is highly recommended.

Was pretty good. They are using a lot of different rooms and it's very clustered because of that. Not always clear which way to go so you don't miss anything. Otherwise great. Lots of little historical pices from that time as well amd if you get hungry there is a restaurant.

An awesome place. We love it there. Beautiful piece of history presented with lot of details and in great style. We have enjoyed the visit a lot. The staff was very friendy, the prices are very reasonable. We paid 19 Euro for a family ticket. There is also a good restaurant with a solid selection of food and drinks. We went for traditional german dishes and all was fresh and tasty. Coffee was good either. Highly recommended

A monument in memory of one of the people who have laid the foundations of politics or political ideologies that remain a guide till today. You would have read about Marxism in college and know a few about communism but revisiting these knowledge by visiting a monument laid for one of such that fought against capitalism gives a different perspective. It is Ok to conclude that Karl influenced societies even until today! Great historical place to be and the giant head figure makes you small when you want to take a picture underneath!!

Cool to see the massive Karl Marx head in Chemnitz. The monument is super striking, especially with the big wall of text behind it. Worth a quick stop if you’re in the area!

Much more impressive in person. Photos can’t capture its true scale and atmosphere. A must-see in Chemnitz.

This imposing bust dominates the centre of Chemnitz. The city of Chemnitz is located just between two major cities of Lepzig and Dresden, just one hour away by train or car. If you are a history fan, you should definitely make a stop there if you are traveling in the region. These kind of history pieces define the whole epoch and they are fewer of them left. This particular piece is so epic.

Impressive Karl Marx monument, great spot to see in Chemnitz.

Great place. It’s a kind of being thrown back in history… special feeling. And the statue, enormous!

Old and tradition part of Chemnitz Stadt

It is always a nice experience to ride the small gauge railway from Cranzahl to Oberwiesenthal. It doesn’t matter if it’s spring, summer, autumn or winter, the landscape and environment is always in eye catcher. There is an open carriage for the summer, be early became the train can be quite busy.

A simple ride on train can be so special when you are here, the train it's a special one and everything is so beautiful around. You park the car near the train station and go with the train up and down the mountain. The views are stunning. Try it and you will not regret it. It costs like 10 euro or more depending on how far you wanna go.

The scenery is amazing, just €15.8 for return ticket, each way takes about an hour. We didn’t plan enough time to hike around the forest, it must be nice to see the train from the different view. A must visit place for train lovers 😆

What a fun for whole family! Rare activity, beautiful scenes throughput the winter forest, final destination full of snow fun. We came here from 5 h away only because of Steam Train and we got fully satisfied!!!!

Fantastic steam railway in a quiet corner of Saxony. Very atmospheric and lovingly restored and run by it's staff. Thoroughly enjoyable day out in gorgeous scenery. Highly recommended.

Very very nice activity. Worth for a visit with famil and mainly kids. Staffs are very friendly , helpful and speaks English very well. The trains are very good and the conductor explains also about the steam locomotive on questioning. When you are sitting in the openwagon prepare yourself for cold weather and coal dust from the steam locomotive. My review is based on summer experience. Guest card reductions were not accepted here. Tickets can be bought in the Kiosk with card or cash . Parking is a little far away from the station.

Throughly enjoyed our trip on this line. Friendly helpful staff in the shop.

Magnificent Baroque palace, initially build by August Strong as a an orangery and gardens, destroyed by the ally bombings in 1945, restored in 50s and 60s . You can walk on the roof of the galleries and admire the beauty of it. It's open till late evening and the entrance is free.The inner garden part is currently ( as of August 2025) under renovation. The galleries house 2 museums - one of mathematical instruments and another is porcelain gallery ( which I highly recommend). When we were there in one of the towers a classical music concert was held. It was beautiful to listen to music in a such beautiful place.

I visited the Zwinger in Dresden and really enjoyed the experience. There is a lot to see here, and the place itself feels quite special. The architecture is impressive and honestly a bit overwhelming – you can just stand there and keep looking at all the details. Every corner has something interesting, from the buildings themselves to the sculptures and the way everything is arranged. It was a bit crowded when I visited, but that didn’t really stop me from enjoying it. You still have plenty of space to walk around and take your time. I found myself slowing down just to notice the small details, and it was worth it. Overall, I think it’s one of those places you shouldn’t miss if you’re in Dresden. It’s not only about seeing a landmark, but also about the feeling of being surrounded by such a unique piece of history and design.

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

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

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

We walked here to do something. It was pretty. We went across the street to rooftop bar pretty good view and sunset was pretty.

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

The museum itself is quite good — a very rich exhibition, definitely worth seeing. However, the overall impression was seriously spoiled by the staff. Already at the ticket counter, the employees were rude to visitors, and unfortunately, the same attitude continued inside the museum. It felt as if they were retired Stasi officers — the interaction was that cold and unpleasant. We've never experienced anything like this in any other museum.

Definitely one of the many must-see attractions in Dresden. Received unfortunately worldwide media attention because of the heist in 2019, of which the most valuable pieces are still missing. It’s recommended to buy tickets in advance, we waited 1h. Very impressive and valuable collection of different pieces.

We visited as part of a Viking tour group. Be aware that you will have to check your bag (even if it's small), and save your ticket for the restrooms. Lifts are available. We had no problems bringing in phones and taking pictures, and the staff were pleasant. I recommend a guide if possible if only because these pieces have a lot of history, from technique of manufacturing, provenance, and their survival throughout the war. The stories a guide can provide really make or break this experience, I think.

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

We booked two tickets in visit the green Vault with audio guide, it’s very interesting each every pieces of the treasures have story to listen to, and the all of them so beautiful, uniquely crafted handmade. Unfortunately, we aren’t allowed to take any pictures but to observe and appreciate the beauty is already sufficient. You can’t miss out this place in Dresden.

It's really worth visiting this museum. 3 hours of walking around this huge area (without using audio guides) with many different exhibitions. PS. Buy a ticket for the "new" part if it's possibly to buy just this one. The historical part is just 20min, where you can't take pictures

This place has so much to see. I would not bother with a tour. We had signed our 10th graders up for a tour and it was way too short. Sadly, you do not really get to see that much on the on the tour. We really only saw what felt about 2% of the exhibition. I highly recommend using your ticket to climb to the top of the tower because you have an amazing view.

The Fürstenzug took me by surprise—so detailed and grand, yet tucked along a quiet street. From my perspective, it’s one of those places that really brings history to life. The scale and craftsmanship of the porcelain mural are incredible, and it’s amazing how well it’s been preserved. It’s definitely worth pausing here while exploring the old town—it doesn’t take long, but it leaves a lasting impression.

the procession of princes is enormous 102-meter-long porcelain mural that basically tells the history of saxony. it features 94 figures of all the saxon rulers and nobles in chronological order, starting way back in 1127. what's really cool is that it's made from an incredible 25,000 meissen porcelain tiles, which makes it the world's largest porcelain artwork. you'll find it right on augustusstraße, so it's super easy to check out as you're walking between dresden's main attractions. and the best part? you can view it completely free

What an excellent and exquisite display of porcelain art. I believe the art shows a march of the Saxon ruler dynasty and is the larger porcelain mural in the world. When you come upon the wall, the sheer size of it is jaw dropping. You won’t be able to believe what you are seeing. It is beautiful. This is a must see sight when you visit Dresden.

We visited the Fürstenzug in December 2024 during the Christmas market, and we were truly impressed. Hahhh, what can I say or express? It was an incredible experience to stand in front of this massive wall of history. This open-air artwork is both grand and full of detail, yet located on a quiet street in Dresden’s historic center. * Stretching 102 meters long, the mural is made of over 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles and portrays the genealogy of the Wettin dynasty, which ruled Saxony for centuries. It’s considered the largest porcelain mural in the world. Originally painted between 1871 and 1876, it was later replaced with porcelain tiles from 1904 to 1907 to withstand the weather. In addition to princes, kings, and dukes, the mural also features scientists, craftsmen, farmers, and even children — which gives the artwork a more human and timeless feel. It’s a true open-air history lesson. The visit is free, quick, and unforgettable. Definitely worth stopping by while exploring the Old Town. And afterward, take a break at one of the lovely nearby cafés! I Recommend it.

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

Wonderful historic place in the Alt stadt dresden! Indeed its a very beautiful architecture and painting

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

We visited as it’s our last day, it’s pretty impressive how much money, time, and effort to rebuild all these historic buildings, including this Church of our Lady. Inside still haven’t had much to see but still nice to visit. Free entry but if you wish to climb up to the viewing tower over 100 steps then have a fee.

This is a beautiful church that is the jewel of Dresden. I loved visiting the church as well as sitting outside in one of the many cafes and restaurants and taking in the view. Church entrance is free. It’s gorgeous inside. If you want to climb up the dome, you need to go around the back. I think it was €12 entrance. The views are great from the top. There are a good few steps going up to start and then there is a ramp around the dome which makes it far easier to ascend.

Brilliant history! In the final days of WWII, the whole city was bombed including this church which was a very important part of Dresden. Following the reunification of German, it was rebuilt using some of the original stone! The building is incredible and there is a stunning view from the top. A must visit!

Frauenkirche Dresden, A symbol of peace and rebirth. Destroyed during World War II and rebuilt from its original stones, the Church of Our Lady stands today as a powerful reminder of faith, resilience, and hope. Its magnificent dome shines once again over the heart of Dresden

It's free to walk into the main part of the church where you can see the beautiful interior, and 10€ per person to climb to the top of the church. The stairs are pretty easy most of the way up, and up until after you finish walking up a big sloped ramp near the end you must also get up some VERY steep and skinny stairs (so beware, if you're a claustrophobe or don't like heights). But the view of Dresden is so worth it if you do it.

The magnificent Frauenkirche! When I last visited decades ago, the church was nothing but a pile of rubble—or more accurately, a heap of stones—serving as a stark reminder of the devastation of war. Reconstruction began in 1994, and on October 30, 2005, it was officially reopened. The church hall is impressively tall and richly decorated. You can climb up to the dome, but we didn’t have time for that on this visit. I’m sure the views from up there—both into the church and across Dresden—are breathtaking. If you only have time to visit one attraction in Dresden, I’d choose the Frauenkirche.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Good experience with family to take a loooooong walk in the nature. Need to have good shoes on, water. We paid to get inside the restaurant and the Gallery, but the toilets are out of drift, yes, after long trip, you are enjoying your beer, and then realize no WC. Some of the paths are not easy to walk, just be safe. Again the waitress doesn't speak English at all.

We visited this stunning site during the Easter holidays, and while it was quite crowded, the experience was absolutely worth it. The hike begins at Hřensko, with a well-marked trail leading you upward. There’s ample parking available at the base, but it fills up quickly—so it's best to arrive early. The trail is fairly steep in places, so wearing proper hiking shoes and carrying enough water is highly recommended, especially if you're visiting on a warm day. Once you reach the top, there’s a small entrance fee. At the summit, you will find a cafe, a kiosk, clean restrooms and an information center where you can purchase souvenirs. Note that the kiosk and souvenir shop accept cash only, so be sure to bring some with you. The panoramic views from the top are absolutely breathtaking - perfect for taking a break and soaking in the scenery.

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

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

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

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

A very well preserved exhibit. Definitely recommend getting a tour

Events that happened here shouldn't be forgotten. I appreciate how places like these remind us to never let these things happen again. Although, Theresienstadt wasn't really an extermination camp it reminds us of how much suffering humans can inflict on one another.

A must visit so that the horrors of the Holocaust are not forgotten

Truly incredible and beautiful castle which is within an hour from Prague without the traffic. We had amazing time a day trip. In the castle you have options depending on your interest and time availability. We took 100 minutes which was in czech language the tour included the whole castle. There is the shorter version too I think 45 minutes. Our tour guide Libor was full of interesting stories, facts and pure history. It was very informative and educating and many things to see inside the castle. Totally worth it and the time passed quickly. Many thanks to him. The castle has few options: shops with wooden decorations, gingerbread, souvenirs, cafe shop and restaurant. The best part was that it was not busy at all, very relaxing atmosphere. Attaching photos and videos from my personal experience. Enjoy 😊

Perfect for a Sunday trip from Prague by train. Not suitable for wheelchair users. The whole castle tour is 340CZK and it takes 100 minutes. Lots of souvenirs and opportunities to eat around. Many walking paths through forest and hills.

Founded back in 12th century, this castle is tightly linked with the history of the Czech state. Set in deep forests and close to the Berounka river Křivoklát castle is well worth a visit any time.

Beautiful and well preserved piece of history. Dated Back to 12th century.

When you arrive at the location you are required to take a guide. Everything would be fine, except the guide only speaks the local language, Czech, so you don’t understand anything at all and they refuse to speak English. As if that weren’t enough, you are forced to follow them, you cannot visit on your own. The castle is empty, it has no furniture at all, just empty halls. All in all, DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE – the staff are hostile and the location has nothing worthwhile to see.

Worth a detour from the highway. Cozy cafes and impressive views. Recommended

This is a very old castle, very well preserved. Off course because of the fires it was rebuilt multiple times. You can enter and have a Czech visit. Or you can scan a qr-code and download a pdf with translation. But the translation does not have so much details like the guide gives I recommend to visit and hike in the area around.

A really beautiful and lovely medieval castle with a rich history. It is quite a walk uphill from the train station or the car park, but it is definitely worth it: the castle is just amazing. You can visit the courtyard for free, but you can enter the castle only with the guided tour. I recommend to buy the tickets in advance, as it is likely they will sell out at least in peak season.

Tour of CZK300 per person for Charles IV apartment, went on November weekend but wasn’t too crowded (was able to get tickets upon arrival for a tour starting in 10 min). Note chapel is closed in winter and that’s the main attraction here. The tour wasn’t very informative about the history and felt a little rushed - would be okay to skip. The view of castle is very nice on the walk up from village and castle grounds are quite nice too (even the free accessible parts). Took about 45 min-1 hour each way from Prague + 30 min walking between village and castle.

Nice castle. You can take the train S7 from Prague main station to this castle. Which runs every 30 minutes during most of the day. The train station is just a 7 minute walk from the beautiful high street of the tiny town, with many f&b option. The street then leads to the steep incline to the castle, and it’s a 10 minute walk - lots of children make it up as well - so shouldn’t be an issue. The views from the castle are brilliant. There is a short 5 minute video with English subtitles being played in a small room below the visitor center and it is interesting. Recommended…!

First time doing a level 3 tour (small group of 6, all family members) that allowed us to see the castle in its entirety and on much more personal level. It was about 3 hours long. We had tickets bought in advance, online, no wait to get in.

I loved Karlštejn. The castle has an amazing history. Yours are both in English and in Czech. All the staff at the castle was super friendly and we even made friends with the local blacksmith. We had a really lovely time and highly recommend the castle as just outside of Prague adventure.

There is designated paid parking and transport at a cost up to the castle. Although steep at times you can walk through the town and shops up to the castle, we drove up and walked down. There are various guided tours with different sections of the castle. Book in advance to plan your trip if you want to do more than one tour. More shops operate during peak season in summer. A few shops where open, October. Would recommend the Snack Place for something to eat and drink, with a view of the castle and the Antique shop. We did the basic tour.

One of the national treasures of the Czech Republic this iconic castle is definitely worth a visit. The castle founded around 1347 is set in the picturesque scenery of mountains and the Berounka river and it is linked with the emperor Charles IV. There are several visiting tours to choose from. The tickets can be bought online. If you have the possibility, make sure to choose the tour including the castle's chapels. The breathtaking gilded interior of the St. Cross Chapel is absolutely amazing.

Prague Zoo is a must-visit. It’s huge, well maintained, and has a wide variety of animals, birds, and reptiles, each in spacious enclosures. My little daughter loves animals and she was delighted here. We bought tickets in advance, which made entry easy. There’s a direct bus if you’re using public transport. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Visited on May, 2022 — a sunny Thursday with mild weather and a steady flow of visitors, but everything ran smoothly and was well organized. This zoo is among the best in Europe, absolutely on par with Berlin Zoo. The elephants walking freely in wide green fields perfectly represent how open and natural this place feels. Animals live in large habitats instead of cages, everything looks clean, well maintained, and designed with care. Even geese with chicks were calmly walking around visitors. Getting here is easy: direct bus from the city center, and online tickets (added to Apple Wallet) saved us a long queue. The park is large and hilly, so comfortable shoes are essential, but every area is worth visiting. Several playgrounds, shaded paths, and food stalls make it perfect for families. We had sausages and drinks while enjoying a stunning view of Prague. Calm, organized, and even dog-friendly — a wonderful full-day experience for all ages. I’d happily return on my next trip to Prague; it’s the kind of place that stays with you.

Hands down the best zoo I’ve ever been to. It is so well laid out. There is a lot of grades to climb so you need comfortable shoes. The zoo is well designed in that the animals even when sleeping are visible. Not a lot of room to hide so visitors can usually always see them. They all have an amazing rock wall for the mountain goats. I’ve never seen that before. It’s simply amazing. And be sure to ride the chair lift up the mountain. Scary and fun!

On our last day in Prague we went to the zoo which we read only good things about. And we were not disappointed. It is big, well-maintained and I appreciated that the animals looked healthy and had enough space to move around (both outside and inside). My ultimate happiness was that we were able to see giraffes up close and the elephants ❤️ It looks like a big safari. I recommend to go since they open as you will need the whole day to see it entirely.

Prague Zoo is an absolute must-visit if you’re in the city! I’d recommend pre-booking tickets as it can get busy, but it’s well worth it. The zoo is beautifully laid out with well-cared-for animals and plenty of space to explore. The map is really informative, and I’d highly recommend downloading the Prague Zoo app - it has an interactive map that shows you exactly how to get to each animal enclosure when you click on it, which made getting around so easy. A fantastic day out for all ages - definitely one of Prague’s highlights!

Prague Zoo — an absolute must-see, not only for kids but for adults too! Honestly, we’ve been to 19 zoos across Europe, and until now we were convinced that the one in Vienna was unbeatable. We even used to travel there specifically just to visit the zoo. But Prague completely changed our minds — this place is simply next level! 🐘🦒 It’s not only about the incredible variety of animals, but also about how beautifully and humanely everything is organized. Every enclosure feels like a small piece of real nature — not cages, but open landscapes, almost like mini-savannas. You can tell how well the animals are treated: they all look healthy, active, and calm. Everything is clean, green, and perfectly maintained. It feels more like a nature reserve than a zoo. 💚 Our honest opinion: this is the best zoo we’ve ever visited. If you’re in Prague — don’t miss it! 100% recommended.

During our visit to Prague, we spent a day at the Prague Zoo — and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! It was easily the best zoo experience we’ve had in Europe so far. The zoo is beautifully designed, spacious, and very well maintained. Everything was extremely clean, from the walking paths to the enclosures and even the public toilets. The animals appeared to be very well cared for, with plenty of space and thoughtfully designed habitats that closely resemble their natural environments. It was clear that the staff take great pride in the welfare of the animals. There’s a wide variety of animals to see, including some rare and endangered species we had never seen in other zoos. Our children especially loved the elephant valley and the penguin exhibit. We also took the chairlift up to the top of the zoo, which gave us a great view of the area and made exploring even more fun. Another big plus was the number of food options throughout the zoo — from quick snacks to full meals, and all reasonably priced. There were also lots of shaded areas to rest and plenty of benches, which made the visit very comfortable, even with kids. The public toilets were also clean and easy to find, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Prague Zoo to anyone visiting the city — especially families. It’s a full-day activity and absolutely worth it!

St. Vitus Cathedral is truly a masterpiece and one of the most breathtaking landmarks I have ever visited. The moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by incredible Gothic architecture, beautiful stained-glass windows, and a sense of history that fills every corner of the cathedral. It’s located within Prague Castle, which makes the visit even more special since you can explore the entire castle complex at the same time. Getting in was surprisingly easy there was no waiting line, and the entry process was smooth and well organized. The details in the interior are stunning; every column, sculpture, and window tells a story. The atmosphere inside is peaceful and awe inspiring, especially when sunlight passes through the colorful glass. If you’re visiting Prague, St. Vitus Cathedral is an absolute must-see. It’s not only a symbol of the city’s rich history but also one of the most impressive examples of Gothic architecture in Europe.

A breathtaking masterpiece — a must-see in Prague! St. Vitus Cathedral absolutely took my breath away. The moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by stunning Gothic architecture, intricate stained-glass windows, and an atmosphere that feels almost otherworldly. The sunlight streaming through the colorful glass paints the walls in beautiful shades — it’s hard not to just stand there and stare in awe. Climbing up the tower is definitely worth it too — the view of Prague from the top is spectacular, especially on a clear day. You can see the red rooftops, the river, and the whole city spread out beneath you. It’s a bit of a climb, but totally worth the effort. Even if you’re not religious, the history and craftsmanship here are fascinating. The details on every arch, sculpture, and window tell stories that go back centuries. I’d recommend visiting early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the big crowds, and take your time walking around the Prague Castle complex — it’s all connected and full of history. Overall, St. Vitus Cathedral is one of the most beautiful and memorable places I’ve ever visited.

High above Prague towers St. Vitus Cathedral, the largest Gothic church in the Czech Republic, mausoleum for the Bohemian kings, and repository of the Bohemian crown jewels. The history of this imposing structure begins around 930, when Duke Wenceslaus I commissioned the construction of a Romanesque rotunda to house a relic, an arm, of St. Vitus. The presence of this relic contributed to the conversion of the local population to Christianity. This proved successful, as in 1060 Prince Spytihněv II decided to commission a new, larger Romanesque basilica to replace the rotunda. The new basilica also housed the tomb of Duke Wenceslaus I, who had since been canonized. After the Bishop of Prague was elevated to archbishop, King John the Blind laid the foundation stone for the current Gothic cathedral on November 21, 1344. Ultimately, the cathedral took 585 years to build (in phases), and it wasn't officially consecrated until 1929. This exceptionally long construction period certainly paid off. The building is 124 meters long, 34 meters high, and has three towers; the large south tower rises another 11 meters above the two 88-meter-high west towers. The most noteworthy elements of the interior are the magnificent stained-glass windows, several of which were designed by Alphonse Mucha. There are also the royal tombs: Charles IV, Rudolf II, Ferdinand I, and Maximilian II (all King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor) are buried in the cathedral. Furthermore, the Bohemian Crown Jewels (including the Crown of Saint Wenceslas) have been kept here since 1791. These are rarely shown to the public (replicas are on display in the Royal Palace). So, there's more than enough to admire in St. Vitus Cathedral!

2025-October St. Vitus Cathedral is gothically beautiful and definitely worth a visit while exploring Prague Castle. The stained-glass windows and Gothic details are impressive, and the size of the cathedral adds to its grandeur. However, having seen cathedrals in Rome and Madrid, I’d say St. Vitus doesn’t quite reach that same level of awe. It’s still remarkable, but it felt more like a historical landmark than a deeply moving experience. Still, it’s one of the top highlights within the Prague Castle complex and absolutely worth seeing.

I was amazed by St. Vitus Cathedral, the largest and most important cathedral in the Czech Republic. Words cannot describe the cathedral's size; just walking around it takes minutes. The cathedral's interior is truly stunning. There's a large main altar, several smaller altars, and wonderful historical sculptures and paintings on the walls. The cathedral is only open from 12:00 to 15:40, and it gets incredibly crowded. Don't leave Prague without visiting this cathedral.

Architecture is nothing less than insane. There is no picture I can show that will justify how beautiful this place is. If you go during the day, I highly recommend you revisit after dark when it the lights are on. Note, I didn't go inside, but I have heard it's great. In that case you will need to buy a ticket

A marvelleous piece of medieval church architechture and a huge and beautiful cathedral. Really impressive. The big negative side was, that the church was overful with people - and it wasn't even high season. It was impossible to truly enjoy the church, when the place was so packed that you felt like being sardines in a tin. Feels like the oversell tickets - entrance should be more regulated. But still amazing!

Visited Prague Castle and the surrounding building during my trip in Mid Dec 2022. I took the 1st train in the morning from Vienna to Prague, train ride about 5hrs plus, reached around 12pm where i slowly walk over to the Prague Castle. I must said i love the history and the architect, very beautiful, a must visit place. Abit of History of this castle and the surrounding building: Prague Castle is a vast complex of palaces, churches, offices, and gardens, established in the 9th century and now a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is the official seat of the President of the Czech Republic and showcases a blend of architectural styles from Romanesque to Gothic and 20th-century additions. The castle complex is one of the largest in the world, covering approximately 110 acres. Key buildings within the Prague Castle complex: St. Vitus Cathedral: The dominant feature of the castle, this Gothic cathedral is the largest and most important temple in Prague. Its construction spanned centuries, finally concluding in 1929. It is the site of coronations, houses the Bohemian Crown Jewels, and contains the tombs of many Bohemian kings. Old Royal Palace: The former seat of Bohemian princes and kings, this palace features Romanesque foundations and a magnificent late Gothic Vladislav Hall. St. George's Basilica: The oldest surviving church within Prague Castle, this basilica dates to 920 AD and is a fine example of Romanesque architecture. Golden Lane: This charming, narrow street is lined with small, colorful 16th-century houses originally built for castle guards and goldsmiths. Later, it famously housed writer Franz Kafka. Today, the houses contain exhibits and souvenir shops. Lobkowicz Palace: The only privately owned building in the complex, this palace showcases a significant private art and musical collection.

We bought tickets ahead of time, which was helpful since Prague is bustling no matter the time of year! The palace complex is massive and beautiful! Unfortunately, the palace itself was closed for an event, but we were able to explore the Cathedral and other areas within the complex. The stain glass windows are stunning and we had a good chuckle about the Starbucks with the grounds. We also were able to witness the changing of the guards, which was cool! Don’t miss out on the gardens and buildings outside of the main area!

Nice and interesting to visit overall but the basilica can be skipped. The Cathedral is beautiful. The museum is interesting and it offers nice views of the city from the terrace. A ticket to the tower is extra (200 czk) and can be purchased from the ticket office in front of the Cathedral.

Fantastic architecture, stunning buildings,you buy a ticket and it is valid for 3 days, as there is a lot to see in 1 trip,easy to get to,we got a taxi there, then walked back into town, (all down hill).only thing i felt spoilt it was it has a Starbucks in the grounds, just a bit bizarre. But we'll worth a visit.

Worth getting at ticket for the standard circuit in advance on the official website. You can then take a tram to the top of the castle grounds and work your way through the complex before ending the day with a nice refreshment at the bar area, before making your way down the steps.

Prague Castle is an absolutely fascinating place and one of the highlights of my trip to Prague. It’s not just a castle, it’s a whole complex full of history, stunning architecture, and beautiful views of the city. Walking through its courtyards and old buildings feels like stepping back in time. The atmosphere is amazing, especially when you see the mix of Gothic, Baroque, and Romanesque styles all in one place. The castle grounds are very well maintained, and there’s so much to see including St. Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace, and the charming Golden Lane. Getting there was easy, and the entrance process was smooth with no long lines. I really enjoyed taking my time exploring, as every corner has something interesting to discover. From the top, the panoramic view of Prague is absolutely breathtaking. If you’re visiting the city, Prague Castle is definitely a must visit attraction. It’s a place full of culture, beauty, and history that leaves a lasting impression.

Prague Castle was an awesome place for our family to visit! We stuck to the free areas to avoid the long lines (not ideal with kids), but there was still plenty to explore and enjoy. The architecture, views, and atmosphere were all incredible. The changing of the guard ceremony at noon was definitely the highlight—everyone in the family loved it. A must-see when visiting Prague!

Took these photos during my day trip to Prague on 2022 mid Dec. A wonderful site walk to the castle back to the train station. Love the history sites. The Charles Bridge is Prague's iconic medieval stone bridge, built from 1357 to 1402 under the auspices of King Charles IV to replace the flood-destroyed Judith Bridge. Connecting the Old Town with the Lesser Town across the Vltava River, the Gothic structure was the city's only river crossing for centuries, making it a crucial trade and procession route. Originally known as the Stone Bridge, it was officially renamed the Charles Bridge in 1870. A defining feature is the continuous alley of 30 Baroque statues and sculptures of saints that adorn its length, added mainly in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Most are now replicas, with the originals preserved in a museum, though they retain the bridge's mystical aura. The most famous statue commemorates St. John of Nepomuk, who legend says was martyred by being thrown from the bridge. Since 1965, the bridge has been pedestrian-only, transforming it into a vibrant hub for artists and musicians. It is a quintessential Prague experience, offering panoramic views of the city, including the majestic Prague Castle.

This was the first place I visited when I arrived in Prague. The bridge was much less crowded than usual, but there were still a lot of tourists. It was extremely foggy, so nothing was visible. After sunrise, the views were incredibly beautiful. I recommend going just before sunrise, especially if you want to take beautiful photos. The bridge gets extremely crowded around noon. There are 30 Baroque statues on the bridge. This bridge will be one of your favorite places in Prague.

Must see at sunset or at night I recommend. Beautiful unique statues all along both sides with great views of the city on both sides of the river. Pretty crowded but not any problem. You can pay for a ticket in the tower on the east side once you climb up several levels that will get you to the top for cool views of the bridge.

One of the most beautiful bridges in the world, the key is to come here early in the morning around 5:30/6 am when the sun is slowly rising. There’s a lot less tourists and people so you can take some great photos and really take in the scenery. It gets extremely crowded in the afternoon onwards. All of the statues and history of the bridge truly are mesmerizing, this is a must visit if in Prague.

This bridge features amazing architecture, statues, river views and medieval era feel! Go early or late in the day if you want to avoid tourist jams. Don’t miss the Old Town Tower and stairs to the top at the east end of the bridge👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Charles Bridge (Karlův most) An absolute highlight in Prague, truly an impressive and historic landmark. Walking across this bridge feels like walking through centuries of history. The view over the Vltava River and the city skyline is just stunning, especially in the evening. I visited on a Wednesday evening in October, it was lively but not overcrowded, just the perfect time to enjoy the atmosphere without the big tourist crowds. You’ll find street musicians, artists, and an amazing vibe that captures the spirit of Prague. ⭐️ 5 stars! A must-see in Prague, both for the view and the history.

Charles Bridge is one of the most magical places in Prague — a true masterpiece that captures the city’s charm and history. Walking across it feels like stepping back in time, surrounded by beautiful baroque statues, the sound of street musicians, and incredible views of Prague Castle and the Vltava River. It’s especially enchanting early in the morning or at sunset when the light reflects on the water and the bridge feels almost dreamlike. Each statue tells a story, and every view from the bridge looks like a postcard. It’s a place where history, art, and atmosphere come together perfectly.

Prague's Old Town Hall is one of the city's most beautiful historical landmarks. It is a famous astronomical clock built in 1410 AD, the third of its kind, attracting crowds of tourists every hour. It offers a stunning panoramic view of Prague's red rooftops, Old Town Square, and the Vltava River. The building's historic atmosphere and well-preserved interior make the experience even more special. If you visit Prague, don't miss a visit to this iconic landmark! The clock is located on the south wall of the Old Town Hall in Old Town Square. The clock mechanism consists of three main components: the astronomical disc, which represents the position of the sun and moon in the sky and displays various astronomical details; statues of various Catholic saints standing on either side of the clock; the "March of the Apostles," an hourly display of animated apostles and other sculptures, notably a skeleton representing Death, striking the time; and a calendar disc with medallions representing the months. According to local legend, the city will suffer if the clock is neglected and its good work is jeopardized. A ghost attached to the clock is said to nod its head in confirmation. Legend also states that the only hope lies in a boy born on New Year's Eve.

The Old Town Hall is one of the main sights of Prague. It dominates the impressive and beautiful Old Town Square. It was built in the 14th century in gothic style with a tall tower (which you can enter for a fee to enjoy fantastic views). It also has an astronomical clock with a performance at every hour during day time.

Great view from the tower. One of the best is Prague. You can take elevator or be brave and have fun and walk the stairs for a few flights then it is an easy incline ramp to the top, until you get to a spiral stair that has a stop & go light! Fun place to see the town

The best part of this place is the tower view, which comes with a price tag. But trust me, it’s worth it. The view from above is breathtaking, and it’s definitely worth the money. Check out my picture to see the amazing view you can get.

You do not have to buy a tour to climb (or ride the elevator) up the astronomical clock tower. You are able to go to their ticket booth and buy a ticket, possibly even at a discounted price if you’re there just as they open. I’m so glad our walking tour guide from the day before told us this! All of the ”guided tour” tickets were either sold out or did not work with our schedule, so having this information allowed us to experience this historical clock tower. There are two interior elevators, the first one everyone can take, the second one is for those who paid for elevator tickets. The second elevator is a circular glass elevator that will take you to the top of where you can go. Otherwise, you walk up steps and ramps. The view is beautiful, even if you have gone up other towers in the area. Apparently, Prague is known as “the city of a hundred spires!” This one is definitely worth visiting!

A symbol of the Czech Republic, an object of national cultural heritage, a symbol of the history of Prague and the oldest institution of Czech self-government. At the end of World War II, its dungeons became the centre of the Prague Uprising against Nazism, and the town hall was almost completely destroyed by shelling. Even the bell from 1313 was not preserved, and the altar of the Chapel of the Virgin Mary was also seriously damaged. However, the people of Prague have restored their national treasure, and today you too can enjoy the Old Town Astronomical Clock with its depiction of the procession of the twelve apostles, the grandeur of the state rooms, the elegance of the Chapel of the Virgin Mary and the mysterious Romanesque-Gothic dungeon. Be sure to take our space elevator to the top of the Town Hall Tower for a stunning view of all of Prague.

Beautiful historic town square, would highly recommend heading there between 8-9am and you will absolutely miss the crowds. Also if you want to see the astronomical clock working and in action, make sure you are there on the hour.

Took these photo during my trip to Prague from Vienna in 2022 Mid Dec. Walking from the train station to old town square before reaching the castle. Quite an eye opening as walking from train station to the castle lets you experience many of the old historical buildings. Nice place to visit. History: Prague's Old Town Square, or Staroměstské náměstí, has served as the city's main public gathering space since the 10th century. Surrounded by historic architecture spanning multiple periods

The main square of the city and probably biggest and most visited sight in the whole city. A large square surrounded by medieval buildings, of which the most famous are the old town hall and the church of the madonna. Absolutely fabulous and a must visit place, which of course has it's drawbacks: it is extremely packed with tourists.

Amazing square, a must go in Prague! Beautiful everywhere you look. It is usually packed with tourists so I’d recommend going in the morning and spending at least 30 minutes soaking in the vibe

This square in Prague has delightful architecture to see. It also has the famous Astronomical Clock. There are many restaurants with outdoor places to sit and eat. You can go to the top of the Old Town Hall by walking up many steps or purchasing an elevator ticket. Here you will see great views of the surrounding areas from up there.

The Old Town Square is definitely the kind of place where you get an incredible view no matter what coordinate you stand on or which way you look. ​It’s always packed with tourists (even when it was pouring rain!), but Prague, Czech Republic, is one of those cities that just instantly lifts your spirits and makes you feel happy. ​If you’re lucky, you might even spot two giant dogs, just like the ones in the picture. (They are seriously a sight to behold in real life!) I wonder what breed those dogs are? ​Anyway, I don't think I'll ever forget this square—it’s the hub where so many famous landmarks meet. Prague, you're totally stuck in my memory!

One of the oldest parts of the city is the heart of medieval Prague. The most significant square of historical Prague, founded in the 12th century, has witnessed many historical events. In addition to the Old Town Hall and the Church of Our Lady before Týn, the square is dominated by the Baroque Church of St. Nicholas, the Rococo Kinsky Palace, the Gothic House at the Stone Bell and the Jan Hus Monument. On the pavement of the square there are memorial stones commemorating the execution of 27 Czech lords in 1621 and the Prague Meridian. Perhaps the most beautiful square in the whole city. Gothic houses and churches; cobblestone streets and squares; stone towers create an amazing historical atmosphere. And all kinds of bars, restaurants, dance clubs, shops of international brands, galleries and hotels give energy to the old city, presenting its modern face.

The most beautiful and historical centre of Prague! The astronomical clock, St. Nicholas church, church of our lady and other historical buildings are located around the square. The Old Town Square remains a vibrant place with many pavement cafes and restaurants, frequent concerts in the churches, street performances, and seasonal markets like Christmas and Easter markets.

We happened to get here on a morning of heavy fog that made it impossible to even see the tower from below. It takes about 15-20 minutes to climb from the upper parking lot to the tower itself. It's a very steep climb and not suitable for people with walking problems. But once it starts to clear up, amazing views will be revealed. The tower itself is now a hotel. There is a plaza with benches for observation and a small kiosk with drinks, food, and souvenirs. Please note that payment at the upper parking lot is cash only.

Popular peak near Liberec. A bit too popular to my liking: there were a lot of people, even though it was a weekday. The path up was also quite rocky. On the bright side, the views were nice and the prices for food and drinks are quite reasonable, given the location.

Good hiking at the top, only the uphill is at the start, than it is quite easy. Good views on the city and around nature from here. Inside the Jested it is not so beautiful and not very good coffee and food.

A beautiful and fascinating building – I’ve always wanted to visit this place and finally got the chance to see the interior. The view from the top is absolutely stunning. This is a must-visit destination for every tourist coming to the Czech Republic.

The surreal and beautiful transmission tower has a remarkably delicious restaurant with warm service. The amuse bouche was a watermelon feta gazpacho and whet the appetite. Following was fabulous smoked salmon and a delicious oyster mushroom main dish. Loved the whole experience.

Beautiful place with nice landscape view, nature 😍

Nice walk up the mountain with good weather. We parked a bit up the mountain as the cable car was out of function and we didn't want to do the full hike. Still a nice half our trail up, with pretty views. Jested is nice to see at the top and get a snack or drink. Depending on the weather I would do this again.

Nice place with AC but really small exposition. You will need 15 min to see all. Poor access to cars that located above the floor. Poor gift shop.

Nice museum showing good insight into Skoda as one of the most innovative companies of the CEE region! All exhibits are described in Czech, German and English. There is also a artistic display of key moments and personalities i Czech history upstairs. Definitely ask about sports and prototypes exhibiton. Plus a good Restaurant / Cafe Vaclav on the spot.

Great museum with meticulously restored cars dating back to the beginning of 20th century. I was surprised by the variety of models Skoda produced over its history. Sport and prototypes depository is a must visit (included in museum entry ticket).

It's cool to see the company history and all the different cars/bikes but it is a very limited museum. There is another guided tour you can book in advance which might be more engaging

As a Skoda fan I really enjoyed the museum. Due to a ticket problem, I was hugely disappointed to not be able to tour the factory. I have six Skoda's and about to buy a seventh, but nothing helped with my appeal for entry.

Absolutely brilliant if you're into cars and Czech history - this place delivers on both fronts. The collection traces Skoda's journey from the early days to modern engineering, and it's genuinely fascinating how much innovation came out of this company. You get a real sense of Czech industrial pride and resilience through the decades. IMPORTANT: Book the factory tour at least 3 weeks in advance - it's worth it. You'll see current production, learn about future models, and get the full story from past to present. The museum alone is great, but the factory tour takes it to another level. Even if you're not a car person, the historical context and Czech culture woven throughout makes it compelling. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.

Very interesting exhibition about 130 years of Škoda's history with some fantastic old cars

Visiting Konopiště Castle was absolutely wonderful. The interior tour was fascinating, with room after room full of history and interesting trinkets. There’s so much to see. I was especially surprised to see an elevator inside such an old castle. Just be aware: the tours are only available in Czech, however there's audio guides available in English, German, and some other languages. The on-site chocolate shop was a sweet surprise. The variety of chocolates was impressive, and everything I tried was absolutely delicious. I only wish I could have sampled them all! Sadly the rose garden was not yet in bloom during our visit, but I'm very sure it is a sight to be seen. The presence of so many peacocks wandering the grounds added a magical touch. A peaceful walk around the nearby lake was the perfect way to end the visit—calm, scenic, and incredibly relaxing. All in all, Konopiště Castle is a must see. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. It blends rich history, natural beauty, and charming surprises.

Fairy-tale like castle and adjacent grounds with 3 excellent tours; note that each is charged separately and there is an option to get an audio guide in English. During the Franz/Sophie private apartment tour you'll be able to see a set of truly touching drawings made by their daughter showing the alegory of the assassination - taking photos is forbidden and unfortunately I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet. There is also a temporary exibition of historical clothing of the nobility with an incredible guide.

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

There are 4 tours at different hours. You need more time to see at least 2 of them. The castle is well maintained. have beautiful views. Also there are deers, peacocks and bear (that was somewhere inside). No photos allowed inside of this castle!

Visited the castle grounds on a weekend. Beautiful trails and amazing views. The grounds are free entry. Parking is 100 crowns whole day and very big!

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

The castle is interesting both from the outside and inside. The tours are interesting, we especially liked the hall of arms. There is also a botanical garden where you can have a very nice walk, so I recommend coming in the warm season.

Only 1 very very desapointing thing! Let's be clear: this luxury hotel and its location, on the top of the hill, as a starting point for walks and hikes in the forest and rocks, are just ideal: wonderful view, nice restaurant, castle-chambers, etc. Unfortunately, one thing really spoiled our stay: breakfast! The breakfast is unworthy of a 4* hotel and is more like that of a bad 2*. Almost all the products are industrial or chemical and of such low-cost quality that you can feel it immediately when you start eating them. The chemical fruit juices (if available, as 2 of 4 were empty during our stay) come from a vending machine and are made from the worst quality water+concentrate: they are disgusting. Both sweet (cakes, etc.) and savoury (ham, cheese, sausage, etc.) products seem to have come out of their packaged plastic bags (not all of them), and the bread doesn't seem to be freshly cooked. The hot drinks (coffee, chocolate, etc.) are dispensed by a simple, low-quality vending machine, just like in any office, and are just bad. And as I wanted to fall back on scrambled eggs, the container was empty and I had to report this and wait 10 minutes (along with all the other customers) for the dish to be refilled. The staff (probably not enough of them in this place) are absent for the customers, as they are too busy running between the kitchen and the breakfast room... Really undignified and quite awful.

Unbeatable view. While the room is a bit dated, it fits the charm of an old castle. However, during our 4-day stay, the room was never cleaned. Unacceptable for a 4-star hotel. We also asked the front desk for hiking recommendations, but no guidance or maps were given, which is disappointing given that most guests come for the hiking.

We booked 3 nights in the 4 star hotel part, bathroom was old and only had a bath no shower, no shower curtain and no place to hang the shower head. The entire bathroom would get wet. The bed did not feel flat which hurt my back after the first night (I’m 34 yo). Location for hiking is great!

Worst hotel I've ever been. The castle has a great facade, but as soon as you enter the building, everything is worn down, moldy bathroom which you cannot lock. When you lie on the bed you can count the springs poking in your back. We are hiking, arrived at 6 o'clock in the evening, leaving tomorrow at 8 in the morning. That gives 14 hours that I'll never get back in my life. The room is ugly as hell, no cozy lighting in the room, moldy carpet. Shared bathroom, which you cannot lock, as I said before, I just can't get over it. It is not the only thing that does not lock: the window in the room. It also stinks here. At least the hallway is freshly painted so it smells of paint, instead of the nasty old moldy turd-smell in the room. For some reason, the doorknob at the inside of our room does not work, so we can only open it with our key from the inside. It does work from the outside. The food in the restaurant was ok-ish. But the service was not. They gave us our food but we had no cutlery, we had to wait 5 minutes watching our food get colder whilst trying to get some cutlery. I went to the bar to ask for some and he just said to wait until they would bring it. When we left I saw that the cutlery was lying next to the bar. Why not just give it to me when I came asking for it??? We asked for dessert and they said 'ok' and went running off, no time to also order a coffee and tea. 5 minutes later we got some random dessert of a menu we didn't order. By then we thought to not waste more time on trying to get what we really wanted, ate the dessert as fast as we could and just go. When we went outside I felt really unhappy with where I was, the service and the disappointment of being in a place that only wants you to hate it. I beg you to not come here! 👎

Room didn’t have a kettle, but coffee was available downstairs.

Updated review: Another wonderful magical stay! Coming back 5 years after we had our wedding here and with our son, I was worried it would not live up to my memories, but it exceeded them! The whole surrounding area is seriously enchanting with extraordinary nature walks, easy and unbelievably beautiful. The views cannot be matched, and the spa balcony is unreal! The staff of the hotel went above and beyond even with our more unusual requests. They upgraded us to the wedding suite which made our entire stay and allowed us to relive our best memories. The food is super tasty, the rooms and hotel are a little outdated, but have such magical character that it can totally be overlooked (especially for such a decent price). Still a hidden gem with mostly Czech tourists so feels super authentic As a modern princess with a romantic adventurous character, but without a princess's budget, I will say this is the ideal place and we will definitely be coming back as soon as possible. Wonderful castle in gorgeous surroundings. Our wedding there was perfect! For the ceremony, meals, party and as a hotel. All our guests loved it and the staff went out of their way for us... Despite the rain and some logistical difficulties it was absolutely magical!

Location amazing! Massages were not good. Restaurant was not good.

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

A beautiful church that rivals St Vitus Cathedral in Prague. We spent an hour+ here doing the audio guide on our phones. The audio guide was very informative and easy to use. The exterior of the church is gorgeous, it's hard to choose between St Barbara's or St Vitus in Prague Castle. The interior of the church is also very interesting and beautiful. It was lovely to see so many regences to the town's mining history.

The entire complex of which the cathedral is a part is immense, extraordinarily beautiful, and the cathedral itself is huge, a construction that is no longer made nowadays. When you go up to the cathedral, you are enveloped by a feeling of well-being and happiness. You can buy a ticket just for the cathedral or another one that includes the ossuary from Sedlec , but the ossuary is just for advertising, it's not worth visiting, it's in another town, not far away.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amazing experience really, it’s currently under renovations but you can go inside and see everything no problem, I actually liked I got to see the experts working on the renovations also. You can’t take photograph’s but I promise it’s so worth it. This are some fotos of the outside. O recommend buying tickets before hand.

Gorgeous but small ossuary. I'd give it five stars if it was allowed to tak pictures. I'd just like to have memory of my visit, respectfully.

Unfriendly staff. There is no ticket office at the location. There is no explanation of the history of the place. High price. Half of the place is well kept, the other half is ”ongoing”. Place serves it purpose: you get the immediate vibes of looking at real bones of thousands of people. You have to be into it to enjoy the experience. I didn’t. Would not recommend.

A small but very unique church. No need to spend more than 15 min inside inside. No photography is allowed inside. Tickets needed and can be purchased online with timing of your visit to be indicated.

We had a great time at the zoo. Lots of baby animals well cared for. My youngest daughter had a blast in a cold March day, with some snow on the ground. Weekdays the zoo is pretty empty. Highly recommended.

Very fun experience. You have to pay for parking, or you can park in a shopping mall nearby. The zoo itself is nice and clean, the reptie pavilion is by far the best I've seen in czechoslovakia, and there are little monkey roaming around you freely. There is not much wallking uphill, which is neat. Also, there are fun little activites for kids and many educational signs so you and your family learn along the way. I very much recommend visiting this zoo!

A very nice zoo, even in autumn a nice experience. Really huge step forward after 12 years since our last visit. Sloth in the pavilion was really amazing. Completely new experience.

Nice zoo, a bit older facilities and some parts less suitable for stroller, however, overall pleasant with a larger number of feline species to see that are not elsewhere or in smaller numbers. Suitable for children. Great reptile pavillion with many species of crocodiles, lizards, turtles, snakes, etc.

There is a lot to see in the zoo. The whole family can have a very nice time in the Zoo. It is possible to see the whole Zoo in 3 hours but if you take the time to explore you can spend a lot of rime there. We particulary enjoyed the eagle flights.

Very nice well maintained zoo in a beautiful area! Large variety of animals who seem to have plenty of space. The entry price is fair and parking is cheap. They have a poffertjes stand, you don’t see that much I really enjoyed it! They’re pushy about anti-smoking, outside of two designated zones. I encountered 0 smokers for the first time ever in a zoo.

REALLY AWSOME ZOO GARDEN IN CZECH REPUBLIC. GOOD WALK FOR ALL DAY WITH CHILDREN. YOU NAC FIND SOME RESTAURANTS HERE AND COFFEE BARS.
