Unforgettable Family Day at Phantasialand! We had an amazing time at Phantasialand on our family day! Everything was incredibly well organized from start to finish. The staff were all super friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcome everywhere we went. The food and drinks were not only delicious, but also very reasonably priced — a pleasant surprise for a theme park! We really appreciated the variety and quality without having to spend a fortune. Another big plus: the facilities were spotless. The restrooms were clean throughout the day, which made the experience even more comfortable for our whole family. All in all, Phantasialand offered a fantastic day out with top-notch organization, great value, and lots of fun for all ages. We’ll definitely be back!

Great way to enjoy a 360° view of the city of Cologne. The entrance ticket costs 5€, you then take an elevator for 29 floors and arrive on the roof of the skyscraper. Unfortunately there are protection glasses so it's not easy to take good pictures. I think that the panorama give its best at night.

A fantastic museum for modern and contemporary art lovers. Museum Ludwig has an impressive collection; from Picasso and Warhol to Lichtenstein and contemporary German artists. The layout is spacious and well organized, making it easy to explore at your own pace. Some temporary exhibitions are truly thought-provoking and beautifully curated. The view of Cologne Cathedral from the upper floors is a bonus also. It’s definitely worth spending a couple of hours here. If you enjoy art, don’t skip it while in Cologne.

Majestic…. In every angle. Firstly a great place of worship. A great prayer hall, architecture, gothic at is best. The entrances from east and west are not to be missed of its details. The north with two mighty towers offers best of it. The huge windows with itched glasses depicting various holy characters are worth watching in details. It takes one full day to enjoy this place in and out.

Cologne Central Station is one of the best and most convenient train stations I’ve used in Germany. It’s very well-connected, with frequent trains to major cities like Frankfurt, Berlin, and Amsterdam. The station is clean, organized, and easy to navigate, even for travelers who don’t speak German. Signs are clear and available in English, and the staff were helpful when I had questions. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, and even halal food options nearby. The location is also perfect—just next to the beautiful Cologne Cathedral, so you can enjoy sightseeing even during a short stop. Overall, a great experience. Safe, efficient, and comfortable. Highly recommended for both local and international travelers!

What a lovely day out with great friends! Weather was cooperating and most of the animals were out and about! Some we did not see because they were hiding or somewhere else but there was still plenty others to see. We loved the dinosaurs too! Stopped by the restaurant for some lunch which was also very nice. Lots of bees/wasps flying around while we were seated eating, so maybe not a great place if you are allergic, but otherwise really nice. Bathrooms were easy to find and it was easy getting in and out. Loved how playful the others were being! Thank you from the US!!

(Translated by Google) This castle is simply wonderful... definitely worth a visit! The staff are all incredibly friendly. (Original) Diese Burg ist einfach wunderbar....sollte sich auf jeden Fall anschauen Die Mitarbeiter sind alles super freundlich

One of its kind hanging train. The train is in service from early 1900's. An amazing engineering feat! The Bahn Route covers scenic places. It runs above river, roads. Try to occupy the last seat as it provides the best visual treat!

Absolutely stunning place with one of the most fantastic acoustics in Europe in the Grand Hall. Pretty large, adjustable scene, separate space for the choir, large organ. The sound system is very modern, the lighting system offers many options for variety of occasions. The seats are movable so the hall could be used for different events. The decoration and the lighting fixtures are just beautiful! There are few back rooms for the performers. The building also features a chamber hall and few other event rooms.

Lovely place for an easy hike, mild breeze and a great view. Lush green perimeter and some benches to sit and relax.

Mega

A well maintained and beautiful public museum. Apart from the permanent exhibition, there was also "Frau in blau" temporary exhibition. The highlight is Van Gogh's paintings kept in the permanent exhibition.

Really interesting museum! The underground section was the highlight – very well-maintained, safe, and gives you a real feel of what mining was like. You can see a lot of mining technology and learn about its history in Germany. Everything is well organized and informative. The staff speaks English, making the experience accessible for international visitors. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Bochum!

They don't call it a mall. It's a place where festival shopping can be done daily. All brands have shops there. A nice place to spend the weekend.

The Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site is truly a unique place to visit. It is calm, clean, and beautifully maintained, offering wide open spaces perfect for walking or jogging. The mix of industrial history and modern culture makes it both inspiring and relaxing. Whether you want to enjoy peaceful strolls, explore its fascinating architecture, or simply unwind in a serene atmosphere, Zollverein is a must-see destination that combines heritage with tranquility.

Public park, has a lot of magnificent things to see, î visited mostly because Im a Hunger games fan and some parts where filmed there for The ballad of songbirds and snakes. They also filmed Sunrise on the reaping there. But in general it’s a beautiful place to visit, just walk around, take pictures, enjoy. There might even be some events finding place there, when I was there there was a street food festival

An old mine reserved as an industrial museum. Very informative exhibition about coalmining and the miners. Very nice art-deco architecture. Plenty of good photo motives. They start to implement holographic explenations/displays

We were a group of five visiting Movie Park Germany on a public holiday, and we arrived around noon. Before entering, there was a thorough security check, which I found very reassuring—it made me feel safe throughout the entire day in the park. Inside, you can find a variety of restaurants, snack stands, and sweet stalls offering treats such as crêpes, churros, gummy bears, fries, and pizza slices. There are also plenty of restrooms located conveniently around the park. Movie Park Germany is a fantastic destination for families with young children, but also for groups of friends or adults looking for excitement. The park features several roller coasters, ranging from family-friendly rides to adrenaline-filled thrill rides like Star Trek: Operation Enterprise, which even launches you backward, and Van Helsing’s Factory, a dark ride coaster with sharp turns. The safety measures on all attractions are excellent, and staff are very attentive. Since we visited during the Halloween Horror Festival, we booked two of the horror houses: The Hell House and Blood Moon: The Trailer House. Both experiences were intense, immersive, and absolutely worth the extra cost. The Halloween theming across the park was very detailed and atmospheric, with actors, decorations, and special effects adding to the experience. The only downside was that the groups in the horror houses were admitted too close together, which sometimes broke the illusion and caused a bit of crowding inside. One thing to note is the parking situation: there is no payment machine directly in the parking lot. You need to purchase your parking ticket inside the park before returning to your car. As the distance between the parking area and the park entrance is not very short, it’s definitely easier to buy the ticket in advance before heading back. Overall, Movie Park Germany is a great choice for a fun day out, whether you love thrill rides, entertaining shows, or seasonal events like Halloween.

Tales of butchery and homicide. It seems nothing much has changed except the weapons used are far worse today than the pikes and rifles of yesteryear. Sobering perhaps to know that taxation was as onerous then as now. Does poverty instil depression? Perhaps the castle may shed some light on this through it's displays and exhibitions. Excellent display of glass. Warm and friendly staff. Worthy of an extra star. English spoken on reception. Avoid parking under the beech trees in September as their seeds get everywhere.

This Beautiful castle is only 25 mins from Münster. A remarkable building complex with rich history and lot of features. Reach enteriour, beautiful characteristic moat, nice pathways. They have a voice-guide(English also) plus audio walk in the surrounding area, a great walk around leads to a small tea house for special events. The basement is a gorgeous brasserie /restaurant also. Hints : Do not try the public buses. Worth to go by bike. The tea house is for rent

A superb museum about Piet Mondriaan, who spent his early years in Winterswijk, in the villa he lived in. Small, but packed with his early paintings, films, but none of the later cubist style. There is a café and shop, also temporary exhibitions. Helpful staff, and right in the centre of this busy but still quaint town.

Classic Dutch pannekoek restaurant, now I am Dutch myself and grew up around the corner. This place hasn't lost its charm, and hopefully never will. It's a beautiful and quiet location surrounded by nature. They have their own beer brewery, cheese factory and open air museum about the old Dutch way of farming. Definitely a recommendation if you're in the area

It was wonderful to stay here, and the shopping was more than successful

Simone was an absolute pleasure on our tour! She ran the tour in English and Dutch and accommodated every member present. You could tell by the way she spoke and interacted with us that she loves her job and is passionate about the intricacies involved in mass product production, and the Grolsch brand. Grolsch is very lucky to have her as a part of their company!

I absolutely loved the museum. I dodnt think that I would. The exhibits were so well portrayed laid out displayed it was a feast for all the senses highly highly recommended five⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice zoo with fair prices and enough parking space. Well doable with a wheelchair and kid cart. Nice amount of animals and some residents u can walk into. The family enjoys this every year😎

Beautiful, well-kept gardens. The lady at the front desk was really nice and willing to explain anything. You are provided a map at the start which allows you to plan your own route. I especially liked the 'temple' on top of 'het bergje'.

A small very nice Christmas market inside the castle. Very well done with food and drinks. Our family had a really nice time (although the weather was not cooperating). The castle itself is very well maintained (you can visit inside and see the history of the castle) and on top of the hill, which gives you a nice view of the surroundings. Tip: you can park outside the castle for two hours (with the blue time card).

Unmissable place when being in this unique area. The museum gives a pictoresque overview on the history of the swamp land region in the German Dutch region of bourtanger Moor. It tells a lot about the urbanization of zhe region and the people who live here. It shows a lot of unique equipment to need to make life possible over many hundred years. Bottomline, clear recommendation!
