An interesting and peculiar place where it seems that there is nothing, but there is a lot there. We also left our crosses there among the others as a memory. A popular place and the crowd kept coming, but it didn't interfere at all. In the souvenir shop, we were served by a lovely and nice young woman. It was an exciting and memorable visit.

The hill of crosses is a hill covered with over 250,000 crosses of every shape, size, and constitution. Today our group of 10 explored the collection of wood, metal, fabric and more crosses, rosaries and religious symbols. Several people brought more crosses, some purchased from the gift store near the information center, again in metal, wood and in various sizes. Several large crosses still stand but a few have fallen due to exposture to the elements. Crosses, rosaries, and special intention prayers from all over the world unite. Everyone seems to agree that house once stood here and was burnt by the Russians in 17th century. People began putting crosses here in mid 19th century either to praise God or to honor those killed in mid century uprisings against Tsarist Russia. In. 1961, Russians burned wood crosses and melted down metal ones. But the Hill of Crosses survives today with people bringing more crosses for praise, petition, remembrance. Some crosses bear words asking for world peace This is a peaceful, powerful stop for people of all faiths or with no Faith. The walk through the crosses can be steep and muddy and the view can be appreciated from any vantage point. At the parking entrance, a 5 minute walk, a open air gift shop offers amber jewelry, all types of small crosses, postcards and magnets. A smaller indoor gift store offers a selection of amber and jade items. The restroom costs Euro 1.

Such a unique pilgrimage spot. Visited as part of a guided tour. Incredible to see the amount of crosses everywhere, from the more modest crafted with two sticks, to the most elegantly sculpted.

The folk legend is that the hill started because of a man with sick daughter, had a vision of Christ asking him to place a cross at this place. His daughter got better and word got around and people started putting crosses at the same place. After WW2, USSR was controlling the country and didn't allow religious beliefs. Didn't help that the crosses were placed for people who were killed in the uprising against USSR. The place was destroyed a few times but the resilience of Lithuanians continued to put back the crosses. This place became a pilgrimage in accordance to St James after Pope John Paul II visited the place. Watch the pics for his quote about Hill of crosses.

It may not be the most convenient option if you are traveling alone due to its distance, but it proved to be a pleasant stop on my journey to Riga. The area is quite breezy. There are a few souvenir shops located near the parking area, and a paid toilet is available at the information center, where card payments are accepted.

A very religious and unique place. Soviet communist hordes bulldozed it in the 1970s, but crosses kept coming back. Quite an experience .. 🤔 We were taken there by a very friendly taxi driver from Siauliai train station.

The Hill of Crosses in Lithuania is an excellent and deeply moving place, visited by countless people with faith and devotion. The sight of thousands of crosses creates a powerful spiritual atmosphere. It would be wonderful to see more services and facilities develop in the area to support visitors and enhance the overall experience.

Kaunas Town Hall is a must-visit if you’re exploring Lithuania’s second-largest city! Known as the “White Swan” for its elegant architecture, this historic building sits in the heart of Kaunas Old Town. It has served many purposes over the centuries—city hall, prison, and even a wedding venue! Today, it houses the Kaunas City Museum, where you can learn about the city’s rich history. Take a stroll around the charming square, grab a coffee at a nearby café, and soak in the atmosphere of this beautiful and lively spot!

Close on Monday and overseeing a torn-up square (large renovation works ongoing August 2025). Not worth the effort

Most visited places in Kaunas , old town bars , cafes and restaurants, you can also find here museums art shops and other interesting sites

The Kaunas Town Hall is a beautiful and impressive building – a real highlight in the heart of the Old Town. The architecture is elegant, and the surrounding square is full of charm and history. It’s a great spot for photos and a nice place to sit and take in the atmosphere. Unfortunately, during our visit, the building was under renovation, so we couldn’t fully enjoy or explore it. It’s understandable that maintenance is necessary, but it was a bit disappointing not to see it in its full glory. Still, it’s a lovely landmark and definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Kaunas – hopefully next time without scaffolding!

10 euros, theres an app and i just cant make it work, not a whole lot, you can climb up the tower and take picture through windows ... Ac was nice.

I didn't visit the museum, but the town hall itself is a very beautiful building. The centerpiece of Kaunas Old Town

A 16th century Town hall situated on a nice square, surrounded by historic buildings. Really nice, if just to stroll around and look at the buildings and the people passing by.

Might be unique wonder of nature, but human touch (ferry service capacity from and to mainlaind) makes the experience of getting there uniquely painful and nightmarish. 5 hours(!!) waiting in car at the ferry terminal (back and forth) to have 2 hours in the Sea museum (as there was no time left for anything else). All thumbs down for (de)organized logistics here.

This is how I imagine heaven! Ideal place for a biking trip, as there are high-quality bike roads, plenty of cafes and restaurants, and many nice places to stop all along the peninsula. We took a ferry, then a trip by bus from Smiltyne to Nida, where we rented a bike and rode to Juodkrante (approx. 30 km). Visited Vecerkrugas dune, Preila, did some bird watching near Karvaiciai, then a short walk in Pervalka, a hike to Dead Dunes, spent some time at a beach near Juodkrante, and had a great dinner and a walk around Juodkrante, back to Smiltyne by bus, then ferry back to Klaipeda. Wonderful, relaxing experience!

it looks like heaven

This 40-foot sundial stands atop the Parnidis Dune, one of the scenic highlights of Curonian Spit, a UNESCO World Heritage Site shared by Lithuania and Russia. Built in 1995, the sundial was damaged by a hurricane a few years later and rebuilt in 2011. It accurately tells time by creating shadows on the steps, with notches for hours and half hours, as well as months, equinoxes, and solstices. March 20 marks the spring (or vernal) equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, meaning that for the next six months daylight hours will outlast nighttime darkness. When it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere, those of us above the equator are tilted away from the sun, giving us shorter days and longer nights. In summer, we're tilted toward the sun, but the equinox is right in between. It's the moment during Earth's annual revolution around the sun when its axis is neither tilting away nor tilting toward the sun, giving everyone on the planet an equal split of day and night. This phenomenon happens twice a year—in March and again in September. In the Southern Hemisphere, everything's flipped. There, it's the autumnal equinox today — and, yes, winter is coming.

46€ for the ferry 50€ entrance fee to the national park 5€/person for the dead dunes as the main attraction and only a tiny carpark Pretty bad roads All this makes the experience of this beautiful piece of earth pretty sour and not worth it

I am very pleased to have visited this place. With a visa you can walk from Europe to Russia.

Was very disappointed, there where sign's all over the place saying keep off sand dunes before I got onto the beach then I walked onto the beach and there was no sand and only a puddle of water. I was ready to go the the beach and everything. I brought my beach chair and sunscreen and just wanted a nice peaceful day at the beach but there was no beach for me to be at.

Beautiful area and building but the museum itself is average. Some interesting pieces but a lot of similar things and basically nothing in English.. so a wiki page will be more interesting to learn.

Nice place and the museum has many informations to show. There are shops as well to buy amber stones. I enjoyed to read the history behind the making of the stone. Worth to visit.

We did not get a chance to go in due to lack of time, but the surrounding area is great and so are the shops. If the inside is anywhere near its exterior, I'm sure it deserves a five star rating.

Touch mysterious and traditional culture and history of Kaliningrad. If you have heard of the mystery of the amber room that missed during warld war 2, you would definitely be moved, because there is the exhibition of the room that restorated. If course, you can learn the history of amber and how to make amber things in Russia. Additionally, there is the exhibition of amber art such as pictures made with amber. There is a souvenir shop that you can buy amber and with reasonable prices!

Amazing experience. My knowledge of Amber grew by 50000%. Beautiful pieces to look at as well as nice souvenirs to be bought.

Before I came to Kaliningrad I had no idea that such a huge percentage of worlds amber derived from this region. It's crazy to think about 300 million years how a unique set of circumstances led to it. This gives a story of the region and a ton of amber displays as well.

I was very happy to be here. But he needs the vaccine QR code, I have the vaccination certificate, they won't admit it and won't let us in. This vaccine certificate is available in many places, and this is the first time that the validity of the vaccine certificate has been denied. a terrible day.

Dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St. Adalbert of Prague, it was built as the see of the Prince-Bishops of Samland in the 14th century. Upon the establishment of the secular Duchy of Prussia, it became the Lutheran Albertina University church in 1544. The spire and roof of the cathedral burnt down after two RAF bombing raids in late August 1944. Kaliningrad was to be rebuilt as a model town on the remains of Königsberg, with no reminders of its German past left standing. The ruins of the castle were periodically dynamited over the next several years, with the last remnants destroyed in 1968 on Leonid Brezhnev's personal orders. The ruins of the nearby Königsberg Cathedral, which included the tomb of Immanuel Kant, were left standing, and, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, were rebuilt and restored in the late 1990s and early years of the 21st century.

Amazing place to check out and kaliningrad itself it has a lot of history, and I would definitely recommend going to check it out. Here are a few photo I took

I had the opportunity to see the beautiful cathedral both from the outside and inside. I also attended a concert held inside. The interior is very well maintained and truly impressive. We took a memorable wedding photo in front of the cathedral.

Beautiful cathedral was built in 14th century. Doest function as an regular cathedral nowadays. It's is a museum. To get in you need to buy a ticket. There is also possibility to listen to organ music there.

Another place I did not have the pleasure of experiencing its interior. It is worth the time to walk to it and enjoy the vendors and views of the pond and park.

We enjoyed organ concert. Mozart sounded so wonderful. I am very impressed

The catjedral hosts now the musem of Emmanuel Kant and organ concerts. It si more interesting to watch here outsode than inside. Afterall the cathedral was bombed djrong the ww2 and for a long time it was a ruin. Worth for a visit.

It’s a fascinating place to explore, full of winding halls, towers, and hidden corners that really give you a feel of its medieval past. Walking through it is both fun and atmospheric, and you can easily spend hours discovering new details. The audio guide is excellent—clear, engaging, and full of stories that make the history come alive in a really enjoyable way.

Okay wow! This is a world heritage site and a must to visit when in Poland. So much history here and the engineering has stood the test of time. There's translation devices for most languages when you enjoy the walking tour. As an Orthodox Christian I can still enjoy the beauty and pure massiveness of this romantic place from another time.

I've never done a self guided or audio tour before, but this was definitely an awesome experience if you're into exploring historical sites. The audio guide was fairly detailed and the English speaking version was great. Each section had me engaged and excited for the next part of the tour. The whole experience was one I won't forget and I really wish I could've brought my family to experience it with me. I'd love to post more pictures, but I don't want to take away from the experience.

An amazing castle to tour. The audio guide is wonderful and guides you to all the rooms and gives interesting information. The castle is really fascinating and beautiful! The restaurant is also worth a visit with super delicious traditional food.

Really great tour experience. Self guided with English headset MP3 type of device. Easy to stay walking distance at nice hotels. Ordered the ticket type we wanted online the night before and simply go to the ticket office and receive an audio device.

The castle is very interesting amd definitely worth visiting! The building is split into multiple parts so the complex over all is HUGE and you can easily spend several hours just walking around. When I went the audio guide was included which was fairly nice, but a bit dry in terms of the content. It is difficult to find your way around the castle as most doors are not marked so the audio guide which literally tells you where to go, what door to open etc, was very useful for navigation. As a historic site it is really worth taking a day trip to visit the castle and the castle grounds.

Impressive architecture. With the audio guide it's a great history lesson. While it's pretty much an unfurnished castle there are some great displays such as the Amber Room, the armory with weapons ranging centuries from both European and Eastern countries. In addition, the cellar restaurant was surprisingly excellent and fairly priced. Recommend!

Definitely THE museum to check out in Gdansk, it documents the history of the Solidarnosc movement that led to the end of communism and the splintering of the Soviet Union. There's a brilliant audio guide that gives detailed information and leads you through the exhibitions in either 1.5 or 2.5hrs, your choice. The variety of exhibits and the timeline they document is stunning, extremely interior and so well presented. There's also a free viewing platform on the roof of the building. Definitely don't skip this museum!

Fantastic museum! The permanent exhibition is excellent and very well laid out and informative. The audio guide is included in the price and again was very good. The museum is situated right at the heart of where the Solidarity movement started and holds such a vital piece of history in Europe. A must see attraction!

Fascinating museum in a great building. Although I remember seeing the events on TV of Solidarnosc and martial law, this was a really interesting wider look at the power of protest and organisation and the huge impact of the events in Poland on the decline and disintegration of the Soviet bloc. The audio guide, included in the ticket, really helps. We had to rush through some parts as we were time limited but could easily have spent 2-3 hours here.

One of the best museums I have ever been to. Well worth it. Very informative. Normally can't be bothered with the Audio guide but gave it a go and well worth it. 2 hours well spent. Also learnt a lot in a topic I thought I knew quite a bit on. Well done A cool venue aswell. Looks like they do events there which would be a nice setting. Also the library is very nice

Very beautiful, new and interactive museum. It’s sad because the history wasn’t so good but it’s definitely worth visiting. Everyone should visit this museum while you’re in the Gdansk. You will get to choose from the 2 audio guides 1.5 and 2.5 hour one. We choosed the 1.5 hour one and we were there for 3 hours. Also I personally recommend buying tickets in the advance so you be don’t need to wait a long line for buying tickets.

Fantastic museum! Holds a very powerful story, not just for Poland but for all of the democratic world. Other than the story and history, the architecture and build of the museum is sturdy with an industrial structure. I loved how you are encouraged to touch everything, different to other museums where you have to be extra careful. Be sure to take the official picture by Gate 2, where the solidarity movement exited the shipyard.

My second time in this museum and I can say- I would like to return after couple of years. Very good museum. On of the best in the world. Never forget a price of freedom!!!

Very impressive street with a lot of wonderful buildings

Lively street with great atmosphere, full of cafes, shops, and street art. The giant mural with the ship is stunning and worth a stop. A must-see when in Łódź!

Great to walk and see monuments, street art and close to Manufaktura. Doesn't offer places for lunch and dinner when I compare to other cities in other countries. Might still be cool to have coffee and alcohol tho. Update:Perfect light move festival!!! Must see.

The main central road in Lodz with loads of pubs, restaurants, shops. Always clean and cared. Side roads where still you can find restaurants.

Nice, busy and tourist street! Recommend. Lots of wall arts!

The best and the most beautiful street in Lodz with a lot of wonderful buildings You must see it if you will be in Lodz

Very beautiful street, full of different shops, cafes, bars, nightclubs.

We visited as a family and had a wonderful experience. We joined the session with simultaneous English translation, which was very well done. The visit begins with a storytelling session that takes you through the history of gingerbread in the region, followed by a hands-on activity where you make your own gingerbread with traditional tools and guidance — a great mix of fun and learning. What stood out to us was not just the content of the museum, but also the warmth and professionalism of the staff — from the hosts to the interpreters, everyone was incredibly welcoming and engaged. There are also additional small activities that make the whole visit even more enjoyable, especially for kids. It’s truly an experience that appeals to both children and adults. Torun itself is a beautiful and impressive city, and this museum is one of those special places that reflect its rich history in an interactive and memorable way. Highly recommended, especially for families looking to enjoy something meaningful and fun together.

This was pointed out to us by friends as a fun thing to do, so we bought tickets and waded in. It's a museum plus interactive venue where you actually get to make some gingerbread. You are actually informed, however, not to eat the gingerbread you make as the process is rushed and the recipe is not quite right. Fun nonetheless. It's fun and informative, so give it a go.

I was really excited to attend the Ginger Bread Making Tour and even planned my entire day around it. English tour... I was given earpieces to listen but extremely poor quality sound systems. It was such a poor experience(they only working hard on the sales of thier gingerbread) which was deeply disappointing given how much I was looking forward it. Anyway just interesting for kids.

Amazing experience! Super fun for the kids and adults! Staff is amazing and do a great job!

Very Good and Interactive muzeum from learning what gingerbreads are made from to making them yourself and them there is a chance to decorate your own gingerbread for an extra 8PLN that you can eat. There is 2 parts the medieval time and the early 20th century. When you are exploring Toruń it is certainly worth a visit. The show in English is at 2pm but in Polish it is every full hour.

We joined the 2pm English-synchronized tour and it was an overall great experience. I don't get those reviews that complain about the synchronisation. In our case, the guy that did the live translation added so much value. I guess humour is a matter of taste - but this was exactly my taste; give that man a raise! 😃 It was a very entertaining/interactive experience and the Polish language parts made the experience even more authentic to me.

Wow, what a great experience for kids and adults. The gingerbread class workshop is such a memorable experience. Excellent performance by the friendly staff. Would recommend it to anyone having a spare hour in old town Torun. Great location. Exit through a gift shop. Well worth the ticket price.

Super cool experience. Very well explained, more interested Always in medieval stories that WW1/2 but has best of both worlds. The building inside and out is stunning.

Zamek Książ is one of the tourist attractions that you must visit if you are nearby. The third largest castle in Poland has an interesting history and the castle tour will delight you. You can spend a whole day here without getting bored.

We walked in the summer, but wanted to see this castle last winter, which might be a bit problem as the path may have been a bit slippery. It's a nice circuit along the river, quite uphill, from St Anne's church, (ruins) through the old castle to the new chateau , which is beautiful and the park maintained, free to enter. The place is photogenic and on the way there you can stop at the viewpoint. However, choose the right part of the day not to have the sun directly to your eyes.

Unbelievable castle! Very huge with an extended park. Tha castle itself is nicely decorated and furnished. You can feel the atmosphere of the past. By official suggestion you need 2.5 hours to go round but we did it shorter because we didn't have too much time. We went on the underground tour as well which is very interesting. It was part of the Rise Project of nazi Germany. A sharp contrast with the peaceful world of the castle!! You have to climb a lot of stairs!! Be careful. But it is worth!

Tickets cost around 60pln for visit a castle. The whole tour takes around 1h. The castle is really good renovated and has a lot to see. Parking cost us 30pln . With the ticket you have also entrance to the garden. I did not have to wait to visit this place

It was an interesting visit, but there were some organizational issues. Ksiaz Castle is definitely worth a visit. The self-guided tour of the interior is interesting and informative. Seeing the original furniture and décor from different historical periods was fascinating and really helped us imagine life in those times. The castle is large, and the tour takes about one to two hours, depending on your pace. You can explore at your own pace, which is a big plus. After finishing the tour of the interior, you can access the gardens, where you can walk around, relax, and even grab a bite to eat at the café. Note that prices are on the expensive side. Unfortunately, I had an unpleasant experience with the security staff. Due to the large number of visitors, it was difficult to stop and take photos, so I wanted to walk back and capture some shots I had missed. However, I was told that going against the flow is not allowed, even though I saw someone else (not a staff member) doing so freely. It felt inconsistent and frustrating. Make sure not to skip the underground section of the tour. It provides fascinating insight into the castle’s role during WWII. It's quite cold underground, so bring a warm layer. Plan to spend about 40 minutes down there. Overall: It's a beautiful, historic place worth visiting, but be prepared for some crowd-related limitations during peak times.

Better to come earlier to prevent huge queue for the tickets. Use terminals to the left from tickets office (same enter as tickets office), they were totally free. Great and clean place inside and outside. P.s. if you want to enjoy coffee after visiting castle - better stay in cafe inside (NOT on terrace), because they have huge queue and bad coffee quality. So buy inside whatever you want (as take away) and enjoy terrace view.

It’s an incredible experience that I will never do again. The waterpark aspect is nice and huge, but every beach chair is taken by towels… You can change to swim wear in the dome but there are not enough closets for everyone and the ones that seem available are broken. Meaning the lock doesn’t work. The food is bad and the service to get the food is worse - it’s horrendous. They have hired just about 1 server per restaurant and they only speak German. Today our dinner restaurant at Ohana hotel where we stay, had run out of 2 food items, of 5 available, and ketchup. At least they said that they might have it tomorrow, but no guarantees. The room in Ohana is nice. And one elevator is broken so always a queue to get up to your room. You can buy a refill cup, that you can fill every 45 minutes, but there was always a queue and multiple times we experienced that drinks had run out or no ice… If you like regular quality food, then this is not for you. If you like good food, then Germany is not for you. So, all in all it’s an experience - not be repeated.

Tropical Islands - a place that will test if your team would survive on a deserted island. I came to Tropical Islands for two days with a group of 16 friends. I booked four tents (bookings were made simultaneously, from one account). Upon arrival, I discovered that two tents were in Zone 1, and two more in another one – about 5 minutes apart. It seemed absurd to split the group, but I decided it wasn't worth arguing about. Upon arriving at the tents, we discovered that one of our assigned tents was occupied by strangers, leaving my guests with nowhere to sleep. I spent approx. 1.5 hours at the reception desk discussing the situation, and the staff sent me from one employee to another, with no specific action. Each employee kept me waiting, without telling me how long or for what I was waiting for. The manager suggested moving one tent to Zone 1 and leaving the other four guests separately in Zone 2, or putting four people in a "house" in a completely different area from the rest of my guests. This would have meant we'd be housed in three different areas of the complex. We weren't given the option of moving all of us to the same area. The only comment from the staff was "we are overbooked, we can't do anything about it - you can write a complaint". When I asked ironicaly if I could give a one-star rating on Google Maps as compensation, the employee said yes. What I'm doing right now. After the argument, we were given a tent that leaked and was completely wet (pics attached). The staff told us, they don't have any protective foil and we had to deal with it by ourselves. When asked what kind of compensation we will receive for the inconvenience, wasted time, and ruined atmosphere, the employee said we could get 4 coctails vouchers. After commenting that there were definitely more of us and the whole group was now waiting and getting upset, the employee decided the problem was limited to one tent. Ultimately, we received 7 vouchers, which could only be used in the area outside the main water attractions. The worst customer service I've ever experienced. The entire complex advertises itself as an amusement park, although the attractions included in the ticket price are two swimming pools (one of which is a children's playground), four indoor water slides, one pool and one outdoor slide. During our stay, the outdoor water wasn't very warm. The outdoor slide didn't have enough water, and we stopped at every turn, having to push ourselves off the walls. The bar and food court, as well as most of the attractions, close at 10:00 PM – this isn't a place for adults looking to spend a pleasant evening, enjoy an exotic evening drink on the beach, dance, etc. If it weren't for the fact that I wasted a lot of time on Saturday arguing with the staff and having team-building activities planned for my guests for the evening, we would have left right after breakfast on the second day, as there was absolutely nothing to do for more than 4-5 hours. On the positive side, I came with fantastic people who organized themselves, made a great atmosphere and wanted to have fun together. Breakfast was also good. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it. The Polish Suntago is definitely more attractive, better organized, and has a wider variety of attractions for everyone and stuff is more pro-client.

We arrived at 6pm and waited in line for a little over 1hr to get checked in. Check in person was friendly but overwhelmed. We had to find our way around during our stay but it’s ok because my husband and my son are very good in memorizing the way. The frustration started when we wanted to check out. They have some check out machines that many people use to check out, but many of them are stuck because the machine won’t take the payment so in the end they can’t finish the self check out. After waiting and observing the situation, we decided to do check out at the counter. The person (a beautiful lady) told us how much to pay and I reached my wallet to pay to the cents with coins. This, apparently, created frustration for the beautiful lady and she had to shake her head while looking at what I was doing. VERY UNPOLITE, but also very German! Honestly, we had a great time at tropical island and in the end she had to ruin that experience. WHYYY???? I just don’t get it. But be prepared for this kind of customer service wherever you are when in Germany!

Impressive at first glance but we wouldn't come again. The initial impression is really cool, the jungle area and overall size of the dome is nice! But afterwards, you'll notice some things: - Food and service are absolutely horrible. We waited 10 minutes to be seated at a restaurant, and there was no one in front of us and the restaurant was basically empty. - Almost all arcade games and tables in the game area are just broken. Overall, our group agreed that it was a nice one time experience and maybe really cool for a single day stay with small children, but we wouldn't go there again.

The venue itself is genuinely beautiful and well-kept. The environment is immersive, clean, and provides a pleasant tropical atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the unique setting. Dining Disappointment: The food quality is poor. It mostly consists of low-quality frozen products sold at the price of normal, fresh meals. This is a significant drawback for a day-long visit. • Locker Trouble: The changing room situation was frustrating. Lockers for personal belongings are open and seemingly available, but are unusable, which causes inconvenience right at the start of the visit. • Service Hit-or-Miss: The staff attempts to be nice and polite, but the execution of good service is inconsistent. Their efforts are visible, but the helpfulness and efficiency vary.

On balance a great experience enjoyed by us all. Would advise an overnight stay, as facilities can be used prior both check-in and check-out. Arriving around 17:00 ~ albeit in November ~ using the QR code meant little or no delay, leaving time for the pools and water-slides prior the buffet dinner. Likewise with an early start we were able to use many of the facilities ahead of the day-trippers before a buffet breakfast. An imaginative way of using a remarkable historic building, and an interesting contrast to the autumn weather beyond! Our only criticism stems from using the regional railway service to arrive (30 mins delay) and depart (120 mins delay)... maybe the trains ran on schedule back in the day?

It was the most horrible experience. We arrived at 11:30, none of the lockers were locked. We tried dozens of lockers. We, like many other people, had to leave our things in an open locker. Or we had to carry everything with us. We were with three small children, so carrying everything with us was not an option. The air and water inside were not warm enough, everyone was freezing, both the children and us. Very few hair dryers. Finally, when we were leaving, I accidentally noticed the extra 10, 15 and 25 euros. When I asked the cashier what it was for, he said that it was for the bracelet that closes the locker, 2.50 euros and he didn't know anything more. He sent us to the information desk and didn't want to solve the problem. The information desk showed that it was a charge for our numerous attempts to close the locker. Of course they took 50 euros from us, but we spent a lot of time arguing and our tired children barely survived the whole time. I can only imagine how many people didn't notice and just paid whatever they were charged. And for all this terrible service we paid 200 euros and an additional 100 euros for food (only for two adults and three small children under 5 years old).

It was very informative with a cheap audio guide (roughly €3. 50). Entry is free. It's not very easy to find your way there if you're using public transport. Google Maps took us in via an office complex and police headquarters (the old SS training camp, I believe). It's got a lot of information in the different rooms with a lot of reading, although plenty of different languages are catered for. A lot of the main areas to visit have been restored or rebuilt and it's hard to gauge the conditions of the time. It does seem to be a work in progress to restore everything and add extra sections. Some of the interactive exhibits didn't seem to work which would be troublesome for those who needed audio guidance. The computers we were using at one point just all turned off. I would recommend it but it needs a full day and plenty of energy for all of the walking and some stamina for the reading. I think they offer guided tours but I'm not certain.

This is an amazing place and a must see. Its part of our world's history. The Nazis were so cruel. I was so upset when I visited today at the hurt and pain the Jews suffered in the concentration camps. May they all rest in peace now.

Tough place to visit..great sad history. Learning experience. Great tour person ANNE..took tour from NCL...cruising baltic sea !!

A profoundly moving and essential memorial. The Sachsenhausen Memorial & Museum is thoughtfully curated, offering deep insight into both the Nazi concentration camp and post-war Soviet use. The exhibitions, preserved buildings, and memorials are powerful and respectful. A must-visit for anyone seeking to understand this history.

Ok visit, but not that many original details still there which makes it more difficult to grasp the extent of the horror, especially for our teens. I don't want to say it's necessary to have the horrific details around, but to me it does bring a tangible message across for next generations, to make sure it never happens again.

It is a really good place to go and learn about our past and to educate ourselves. Admission and audio guide are free.

We did this tour when we visited Berlin for a few days in March. As a history lover this was right up my street. We did this with a guide Campbell who was very knowledgeable. The tour itself was very informative, with a range of information boards and material to read through at your leisure. Very moving place to visit. Would recommend a visit if you enjoy history

If you haven't seen this museum till now, don't lose the chance to get familiar with the awesome history of great ancient human civilizations, it also can be interesting for kids or teenagers. Apparently it is gradually getting under construction section after another section, unfortunately I missed some important parts due to the reconstruction work, later on I had to check the missing parts on the original video & virtual tour of the museum.

One can easily spend more than 2 hours here if interested. The collection is huge and enormous. Definitely one of the largest museums.The audio guide is very well designed. The Mesopotamian, Babylonian and Islamic collections are incredible. 12 euros for direct ticket bought at the museum. Online booking in advance could help.

A must visit museum in Berlin. Museum has so much collection of historical antique items. Ishtar gate is the main attraction and it's beautiful and huge. Also the Roman market fascade is huge and it's well preserved in museum. Audio guide helps in getting the information easily about all the artifacts. Very much recommended museum in Berlin.

Not a bad place. Not too big but enough to see. Pictures attached. It has very good disability access and the staff are very friendly. You need to leave your bags in lockers and need a euro or a 2 euro coin, which is returned after you take your stuff back out. Very bright and airy. Great perspective with the life size exhibits. Worth a visit but it isn't free.

We did no wait because we had purchased the tickets online, but for ticket sale the line was about two hours long(on a Tuesday in the middle of the day). The museum is incredibly constructed and truly remarkable! Very full indeed though. Still, worth a visit while in Berlin.

The best museum I have visited so far in Berlin! Very rich and huge group of artifacts from a wide range of Civilizations like Ancient Civilizations, Greek and Roman, Islamic… I booked the tickets online and entered with no wait time, there are Audi devices in several languages as well.

One of the most interesting museums I have ever been to. Would surely recommend to anyone who likes history. Alot to learn and much beauty to admire. It took us about 3 hours without rushing and we were able to walk through all the exhibits. TIP: Make sure to carry an A4 size bag if you would like to carry some water or any thing else inside with you. There is a coat check area and lockers for bigger bags. You just need 1-2 Euro to access them which you can get back at the end of your tour. Enjoy!

A totally shocking museum of the horrors of the Nazi regime. It is an extensive documentation of the brutal treatment of certain sections of society that did not fit in with the party's ideals. An outside display covers the pre-war to post-war eras and inside the museum large displays are enhanced by information boards covering aspects of the subject in more detail. A must visit museum if you are in Berlin. Can be busy with school groups. Free entrance.

The Topography of Terror is a powerful and very moving place to visit. The exhibition is well-presented, informative and deeply thought-provoking, showing the darkest part of German’s history. A must-see for anyone wanting to understand the city beyond its landmarks. This exhibition proves that Berlin doesn’t hide history, they learn from it.

Excellent. Since I last visited, they have added an indoor exhibition which is very good. It's also free and we thought it was better than the Checkpoint Charlie museum that we paid €18 to visit.

The Topography of Terror is an absolutely incredible and essential place to visit in Berlin. It was truly one of the best experiences I had, especially when listening to the audio guide—it brings the whole site to life. It's incredibly powerful and thought-provoking. I highly recommend it!

Interesting photo gallery with detailed information about WW ll and the Berlin wall. Mixture of German and foreign visitors. Entrance is free, but be aware that this is an open air historical place.

If you’re interested in history, especially the events surrounding World War II and the Nazi regime, the Topography of Terror is a must-visit in Berlin. Located on the site where the SS and Gestapo headquarters once stood, this open-air and indoor museum offers a powerful and sobering look into one of the darkest chapters in human history. Through photographs, documents, and audio-visual materials, the exhibition presents a detailed account of how the Nazi regime used terror to control and persecute. The outdoor section also preserves part of the Berlin Wall, adding to the historical depth of the site. Admission is free, and it’s very well-organized, with information available in both German and English. It’s a moving experience that encourages reflection and understanding — not just of Germany’s past, but of the importance of human rights and democratic values today.

Absolutely free and very well-equipped with educational materials. Must visit for history lovers. Excellent location in the city centre with the remainings of Berlin wall in its yard.

An absolutely iconic landmark standing here feels like stepping right into history! 🇩🇪 The architecture is breathtaking, especially at sunset when the lights make it glow beautifully. The atmosphere around the gate is lively yet peaceful, with street performers, photographers, and tourists from all over the world. It’s not just a monument it’s a symbol of unity and freedom. Perfect place for amazing photos, evening walks, and soaking in Berlin’s rich culture. Definitely a must-visit in Germany! ✨

A symbol of German unity and European peace, this site is an essential visit when in Berlin. It serves as a profound reminder of historical events. During our visit, the area was not overly crowded, which was quite pleasant. The sunlight illuminating the monument created a truly beautiful spectacle. The location is readily accessible via any mode of transportation.

Berlin is a unique city where past and future meet. The Museum Island is extraordinary, and walking along the Berlin Wall remains moving. The city is lively, multicultural, full of art and nightlife. Great international food and convenient transport to get around everywhere.

Visited September 2025. This was my first stop after arriving in Berlin. It is a real cool Roman style gate. The details in the design are elegant. This is a good starting point for traveling around the area to see a large number of historical attractions.

It’s a must see in Berlin as it forms the backdrop to so much of Berlin’s history. We arrived just after 9 on a Monday morning before the crowds arrive, but even at 4 in the afternoon there was no problem moving through the area. The U-Bahn has a stop in Unter den Linden within 100 metres of the gate, and the road is generally closed to traffic. There are good interpretive signs about the various architectural and decorative aspects of the structure. The Berlin Wall line lies just to the east of the Gate and can be followed throughout the city. There are a number of eateries in close proximity, from street food to restaurants, as well as other historical locations.

Standing here feels powerful — history, freedom, and unity all in one place. Especially beautiful at sunset when the lights come on. A true symbol of Berlin

Breathtaking place with a lot of history behind it. Go early morning or late night if you want to take the best picture since the place gets crowded during the day. Best pictures at night because of the lighting.

An amazing building to visit when in Berlin. Tickets must be booked well in advance. We booked for breakfast which was delicious with excellent views of Berlin. You cannot get in the restaurant unless you have booked . We were so glad we did . We arrived before our allotted time as it takes time to go through security. Once in you are free to explore the Norman Foster glass dome with 360 degree views of Berlin. It is an impressive structure to top such an iconic building. A real mix of modern and classical architecture with so much history

One of the most famous tourist attractions in Berlin. You need to book online before visiting the building and the dome. Interesting historical building with a modern glass dome. The architecture is impressive, but the visit feels a bit overrated. Long waiting times and security checks make the experience less enjoyable. The view from the dome is nice, but not as spectacular as expected.

One of the best things I did whilst in Berlin. From the famous dome you can see across Berlin, allowing you to see uninterrupted sights of the cities best and most famous locations. When you reach the top floor, make sure to pick up a pamphlet on your left. This will show the whole panoramic view from the top of the dome. It points out major sights, including some of the prettiest buildings I’ve ever seen. Once you reach the top, the open air dome with seats around the centre allow you to sit or lay back and relax. For our mad touristy day this made a nice break. I could sit here for hours. I’m confused why it isn’t busy as it was a spectacle every tourist needs to see! Security is tight as this is the main government building in Germany. Many high profile politicians and government officials come here daily. Make sure to bring some IDENTIFICATION if you don’t you will be refused entry! Bags are also searched. One of my favourite parts of my trip! Would recommend to everyone.

The sheer size of the structure is simply enormous. When I first saw it, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It’s a marvel to witness how they managed to construct an entire structure and place a modern dome on top. The entrance to the building is well-organized and heavily guarded, which is completely justified. As you ascend to the dome, you can explore the surrounding areas. It’s an incredible experience to walk up the slope of the dome to reach the top. At the base of the dome, you can learn about the building’s history and how the German government has evolved over time. The views are breathtaking, so I highly recommend hiring you to recommend this place to everyone. You will need to make sure to make arrangements ahead of time to visit this place. Ticket is a must and needs to be planned in advance.

I first went to the front lawn of the Reichstag and then rode around the Spree to catch a glimpse from across the river. It looked majestic from every direction. Standing there gave me a perspective — life can be cruel, but these monuments have witnessed history, stood the test of time, and still remain strong.

The Reichstag is well worth visiting, especially for the glass dome with its panoramic views of Berlin. Entry is free, but advance online registration is required, and security is strict, so plan some extra time. The visit is well-organized and informative, with a good balance of sightseeing and learning about the German parliament.

It’s a beautiful building and it’s free to get inside. There are so people waiting to get inside and too much control. Also, I was waiting a more impressive view, but finally it was ok. It’s a great place to take some pictures.

Its an interesting monument but I found that having very little information available or from the tour guide a bit average. Nobody knows the designers' reasons for the layout, etc, and it's left to your imagination. I didn't find it a moving monument like others and didn't feel it really captured the gravity of the situation or really provided a strong memorial for thise lost unfortunately, but thats just my view. It seemed to just be a bunch of concrete blocks and I feel so much more could have been done

This site is a memorial dedicated to the six million Jewish men, women, and children who were murdered during World War II. Visitors are asked to maintain a respectful attitude while on the grounds. For some, this is a powerful reminder of history; for others, it’s a deeply personal place to remember and honor loved ones.

A truly wonderful free museum lies beneath these memorial stones. We had a very thought provoking and deeply interesting 90 minutes in this museum. It's beautifully put together and you need to take the time to observe and absorb all the information on show. It's time well spent.

★★★★★ The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe hits hard. Its 2,711 stark concrete slabs, sprawling yet suffocating, force you to feel the weight of history. Designed by Peter Eisenman, opened in 2005, it’s a gut-punch tribute to the Holocaust’s victims. Wander the uneven paths—silence creeps in. Respectful yet raw, it’s unmissable. Visit at dusk for haunting vibes.

Great monument, quite immersive. Been there at night in November which adds to the atmosphere of the total silent horror. Never again. Am israel chai.

A good place to explore the history. The memorials were proposed by a new york architect in early 2000s. Would recommend to visit the museum under them as well

A very somber area located in Central Berlin designed to be very thought provoking in remembering the 6 million men women & children murdered by the German nazi party.

My first time in Saxony and Saxon Switzerland. Lovely place to enjoy the nature. Crowded however. On the other hand, few walk trials there, so don't wait but go visit the site!

It is worth going around the whole circle. Before the nearest parking lot, we turn left and go clockwise. An impressive descent of over 800 steps.

What an incredible surprise! Nestled in the middle of nowhere, this mountain/valley comes to you as a delightful revelation. Its appearance is unlike anything you’ve seen before, setting it apart from its surroundings. This is one of the most breathtaking mountain vistas I’ve ever laid eyes on. From various viewing points, you can capture the towns below and the railroads. There are multiple vantage points that offer a panoramic view of the valley, the mountain, and the bridge itself, where you’ll be standing. However, note that the site requires walking up and down, which can be challenging for those with mobility issues. Additionally, you’ll need some stamina to navigate the stairs. If you’re driving by, I highly recommend making a stop at this place.

This place was insanely cool! We asked some locals what they recommended to see around here, and everyone said this spot — and they were absolutely right! We came here for sunrise, and it was unbelievably beautiful. So worth it!! 🌄

There is two way from central station dresden take s1 (bad shandau) direction and get down at kirort rathen then around 30 minutes hiking including ferry and stairs walk. then another option is take s1(bad shandau) direction and get down pinar.then take bus 237 or 254. And ask driver will it go bastei 1 or not. then you don’t need to hiking. Really a worth exploring to visit if you come dresden.

Spectacular Views and Unreal Scenery — A Must-See Bastei is absolutely breathtaking—one of the most stunning natural landscapes we’ve seen in Germany. The dramatic rock formations, sweeping views over the Elbe River, and the iconic Bastei Bridge make this spot feel straight out of a fantasy film. Everything is well-maintained, with scenic walking paths and multiple viewpoints that are easy to reach on foot. We visited in May, and the conditions were perfect—fresh greenery, pleasant temperatures, and lighter crowds. The area is suitable for all ages, though some light uphill walking and stairs are involved. Tips for your visit: 📍 Entry to the Bastei Bridge and viewpoints is free. The Felsenburg Neurathen ruins cost a few euros extra. 🕰️ Go early in the day or late afternoon to enjoy the views with fewer crowds. 🚗 Parking is €7 flat for the whole day, and you can easily pay using the EasyPark app, which works great and saves time. 👟 Wear comfortable walking shoes—parking is about a 15-minute scenic uphill walk from the main site. 📸 Don’t forget your camera—sunrise or sunset light makes the views even more magical. 🥪 There’s a restaurant near the main viewpoint, but if you plan to hike farther, bring snacks and water. Whether you're into hiking, nature photography, or simply soaking up jaw-dropping views, Bastei is a must-visit gem in Saxon Switzerland.

Bastei Bridge is an absolutely stunning place to visit – around 4.5 hours from Berlin and quite easy to reach. The bridge, originally built in the mid-19th century (1851), offers some of the best panoramic views in the region. You can see the river and surrounding rock formations from the top – it’s truly breathtaking. It is a popular spot, so expect crowds, especially during peak times. If you’re not up for hiking, there’s also a bus that can take you very close to the site, which is convenient. Nearby, we found a lovely place that served excellent local beer – the Dunkel beer was a highlight and definitely worth trying! Highly recommended for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone who enjoys scenic landscapes with a touch of history.

I loved everything about this venue it's got something for everyone gardens architecture art galleries. We spent 6 and a half hour there and it didn't feel like it in any way the scenes are on overdrive with so much to take in its something that I could do a few times and still have not seen everything. Spectacular day trip for sure 😃

Beautiful and vast city park with breath taking landscapes and architecture. Great place to spend time with friends or family. It's very huge - it may take hours or days to take every route and explore reach path located in the park. The entrance is free and there's few gates you can get through. Hard to miss if you plan to visit Postdam.

A small, cause it was the summer one, but very beautiful palace. With the ticket of 22 euros you get to visit almost all places in Potsdam. Definitely more worth it to visit in the summer time or at least while everything's still green, since the gardens are a big, important part.

Sanssouci Park is absolutely stunning! Walking through the gardens is a true delight, with so many beautiful spots to explore and photograph. The highlight for me was the Orangerieschloss! Definitely a must-see. It’s the most beautiful building in the park, with incredible architecture and charm that you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re a history lover, architecture fan, Sanssouci Park is an unforgettable experience. Truly 5 stars!

Highly recommended! If You going there - I would recommend to get electric scooter if You are there for one day trip. It’s best way to see entire park in couple of hours.

This place is truly amazing. The architecture, the gardens, everything is so well kept and maintained. Highly recommend a visit.

A trip to the past, to the era of enlightenment and baroque architecture. Walk the halls Voltaire and Frederick the Great did. The audio tour is very good with lots of details and anecdotes. Take your time to roam the parks and don’t miss the Chinese house.

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.

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.

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

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.

Diana Observation Tower is a must-see attraction in Karlovy Vary! Not only does it offer stunning panoramic views of the city and surrounding forests, but the entire area is peaceful and beautifully maintained. After enjoying the scenery from the top, you can relax at one of the lovely cafés nearby — a perfect place to sip coffee, enjoy a snack, and take in the fresh mountain air. A truly delightful experience for nature lovers and travelers alike!

Well worth it. Take a lift or take a short walk. The view from the tower is absolutely fantastic. Expect heavy wind, take a jumper.

Beautiful observation tower with restaurant below and a mini zoo. You can ride the Diana funicular from Kolonáda directly to here. You can also hike the hill with 1.1 km moderate trail.

The Diana Observation Tower is one of the most beautiful spots in Karlovy Vary! The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking — you can see the entire town surrounded by lush green hills. The ride up by funicular is scenic and relaxing, and there’s a lovely forest walk if you prefer hiking. The café near the tower is cozy and perfect for a short break. A must-visit place for anyone coming to Karlovy Vary!

Beautiful 360 degree view of the region. There's also a small, budget-friendly kiosk selling street food and drinks in front of the tower. If you don't have any serious limitations, I suggest getting a one-way ticket. Take the funicular up and walk down while enjoying the view. Observation tower itself is free. You pay for the funicular.

Beautiful walk, you can also owe the monorail to go up and the tower has an elevator. I drank a beer at the restaurant down. And visited the butterflies museum!

Beautiful way to look at Karlovy Vary. Keep in mind that during fall/winter times fog is a quite often guest so you won't see much till around midday. Worth visiting, free and well-maintained observation point with a restaurant nearby

Entrance free into the city. It's a Lovely area to have a walk. There are restaurants also available with nice food. Some places were under construction and soon will be opened. It's better going there before 4.pm. the museum closing time is 4

The old town is dominated by the castle and church on the hill. The district is perfect for strolling through half-timbered houses and winding lanes. From the castle grounds there are views over the jumble of roofs and spires of Quedlinburg as well as the surrounding countryside and towards the Harz.

Nice town and architecture. Recommend!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Harz town of Quedlinburg with half-timbered houses and a historic history. Nice people who are easy to get in touch with. It's worth living here! (Original) Schöne Harzstadt Quedlinburg mit Fachwerkhäusern und einer historischen Geschichte. Nette Menschen mit denen mal leicht in Kontakt kommt. Hier ist es Lebenswert !

(Translated by Google) A huge old town. You rarely find something like that. One cafe and restaurant after another, all busy despite the time of year! (Original) Eine riesige Altstadt. Sowas findet man selten. Ein Cafe und Restaurant nach dem anderen und alle trotz dieser Jahreszeit gut besucht!

(Translated by Google) World cultural heritage... and rightly so. This number of old half-timbered houses... surprising and inspiring. You quickly get the feeling that time has been turned back. Since there are fairy lights hanging in the alleys everywhere in the city, it must be really great in the evenings. Full recommendation for a visit. (Original) Weltkulturerbe.... und das zu Recht. Diese Anzahl an alten Fachwerkhäusern... überraschend und begeisternd. Man bekommt schnell ein Gefühl, als sei die Zeit zurückgedreht. Da in der Stadt überall Lichterketten in den Gassen hängen, muss es abends auch sehr toll sein. Volle Empfehlung für einen Besuch.

(Translated by Google) The old town ensures that Quedlinburg is rightfully a World Heritage Site. One half-timbered house follows the next, and at times, you truly feel like you're walking through the Middle Ages. Many alleyways are tucked away with small shops, restaurants, and pubs. Depending on the time of year, it's naturally very busy, but the old town is absolutely worth a visit. The climb to the castle hill is also worthwhile, as it offers a magnificent view of the old town. (Original) Die Altstadt sorgt dafür, dass Quedlinburg zurecht Welterbe ist. Ein Fachwerkhaus jagt das andere, man hat wirklich teils das Gefühl, man würde durchs Mittelalter wandeln. In vielen Gassen verstecken sich kleine Geschäfte, Restaurants und Kneipen. Es sind natürlich je nach Jahreszeit sehr viele Leute unterwegs, aber die Altstadt ist einen Besuch absolut wert. Auch der Aufstieg auf den Burgberg lohnt sich, weil man hier einen herrlichen Ausblick auf die Altstadt hat.

Beautiful castle with spectacular views of Wernigerode and Harz mountains. Very busy during my visit & somewhat disorganized. Could only find paid parking nearby with additional expense for a shuttle bus. However, there are several shuttle bus companies and you can't tell which is which until the driver kicks you off. But, still a nice place to visit.

Beautiful beautiful castle! Absolutely worth the visit. It has such a special atmosphere. There’s not much to see inside, but the view of the city from the top and inside courtyard are stunning. We were there on Sunday, end September, and there was no line.

Not allowed to take pictures inside, so I cannot post inside pics here. But it is incredible! The most beautiful woodwork, stunning small church, great to have a local beer in the courtyard. Worth the visit!!

A must-visit when you're in Wernigerode! Wernigerode Castle is straight out of a fairytale — perched on a hill with breathtaking views over the charming town and the Harz mountains. The architecture is stunning, and the atmosphere feels like stepping into another century. Now, let me say this loud and clear: take the uphill walk to the castle if you can! Sure, there are shuttle buses and other ways to get there, but where’s the adventure in that? 😄 Brace your leg muscles and lungs — the incline is real! 🥵 But trust me, it’s the most rewarding option. It adds a touch of effort, a dash of cardio, and a full dose of “I earned this view!” Once you reach the top, all the huffing and puffing pays off. The castle is beautiful, the views are spectacular, and the photo ops are endless. Whether you're into history, architecture, or just soaking in amazing scenery — this place has it all. Pro tip: Go early or late in the day to avoid crowds and heat. Bring water, good shoes, and a bit of adventurous spirit!

Worth the walk uphill. Go early to beat the crowds. Enjoy a beer at the cafe inside. It’s a lot quieter than the one outside. On the walk down I took a detour on some of the paths. Very green and beautiful woods.

Nice views. Cafe is busy and a bit expensive. Shop is a treasure trove of second hand bits. Very dangerous approach to drive JCB diggers at speed through the site - see photo.

I would give it more stars if I could. Definitely the most beautiful castle I have visited. It's like you're back in the middle ages. And so many nice details!
