Interesting to visit, however the visiting time is very limited and the 2G rule is there although it is outdoor.

(Translated by Google) We found it very nice. Were there on a Saturday and only at 9 p.m., but there was still a lot going on. But we didn't have to wait long. The lights and attractions were beautiful and photo worthy. (Original) Wir fanden es sehr schön. Waren an einem Samstag da und erst um 21 Uhr, dafür war aber noch ordentlich was los. Anstehen mussten wir aber nicht groß. Die Lichter und Attraktionen waren schön und Fotos wert.

(Translated by Google) [03/04/2022] Located at the exhibition center in Essen, the GrugaPark offers many activities in summer and winter. Every year after dusk, the Gruga lights are a colorful and attractive place to visit with many different light installations in shape and color. Always a highlight for photographers. A toilet and stops for eating and drinking are also available. There are several parking lots around the park. Admission is €6.00 ​​for adults. (Original) [04.03.2022] An der Messe in Essen gelegen bietet der GrugaPark im Sommer und Winter viele Aktivitäten. Das Grugaleuchten ist jedes Jahr nach der Dämmerung eine bunte und attraktive Besuchsmöglichkeit mit vielen verschiedenen Lichtinstallationen in Form und Farbe. Für Fotografen immer ein Highlight. Ein WC sowie Stops zum essen und trinken sind auch vorhanden. Rund um den Park gibt es mehrere Parkplätze. Der Eintritt kostet für Erwachsene 6,00 Euro.

(Translated by Google) It was absolutely beautiful. A lot to see. Terrain that is sometimes difficult for older people and yet very dark. But everything worked out. A great attraction for young and old. Price performance top! The physical well-being was also provided in abundance at affordable prices. Toilets clean 👍🏼 Tip: Use the side entrances and book the tickets in advance. Then it's a walk through, the parking lot on the side of the road was SO free. We'd love to come back. (Original) War voll schön. Viel zu sehen. Für ältere Leute teilweise schwieriges Terrain und doch sehr dunkel. Aber hat alles geklappt. Für Groß und Klein ne tolle Attraktion. Preis Leistung top! Für das leibliche Wohl wurde auch reichlich gesorgt zu erschwinglichen Preisen. Toiletten sauber 👍🏼 Tip: Nutzt die Seiteneingänge und bucht die Karten vorab. Dann ist es ein Durchmarsch, auch der Parkplatz war SO am Straßenrand kostenlos. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

(Translated by Google) An event that you have to see if you come from the Ruhr area. We were there on a weekday and got a parking space straight away. We had already booked the tickets (adults €9) online and it was very quick at the entrance. Beautiful light events in different shapes and sizes. A great artist! You can also get mulled wine, coffee and bratwurst if you're slightly hungry. A bratwurst in a bun for €4 is reasonable. It took us about 1 1/2 to 2 hours and it was a nice trip ;-) (Original) Eine Veranstaltung die man gesehen haben muss wenn man aus dem Ruhrgebiet kommt. Wir waren an einem Wochentag dort und haben auch sofort einen Parkplatz bekommen. Die Tickets ( Erwachsene 9€ )hatten wir online schon gebucht und es ging sehr schnell am Eingangsbereich. Wunderschöne Lichtereignisse in verschiedenen Formen und Größen. Ein toller Künstler ! Glühwein, Kaffee und Bratwurst für den kleinen Hunger kann man auch bekommen. Eine Bratwurst im Brötchen für 4€ sind angemessen. Wir benötigten ca 1 1/2 bis 2 Stunden und es war ein schöner Ausflug ;-)

(Translated by Google) I was just blown away, there was a lot on offer and it was very well attended. And the entrance fee is totally justified at 9 euros for an adult. The only drawback is perhaps the search for a parking space. (Original) Ich war nur hin und weg , es wird einen viel geboten und es war auch sehr gut besucht . Und der Eintritt ist total gerechtfertigt mit 9 Euro für einen Erwachsenen . Das einzige Manko ist vielleicht die Parkplatz suche .

(Translated by Google) Beautiful light installations. Really great for 2-3 hours to walk and switch off. I would only recommend this to a limited extent with children. At the end there are lights in a park. There is no interaction to speak of. This probably makes it quickly uninteresting for children. 1 star less because there are no signposts. If you don't know your way around the park, you'll quickly find yourself in front of an exit that's not the one you came in through. That might have to be changed. (Original) Schöne Lichtinstallationen. Für 2-3 Stunden zum spazieren und abschalten wirklich toll. Mit Kindern würde ich das nur eingeschränkt empfehlen. Am Ende sind es Lichter in einem Park. Es gibt keine nennenswerte Interaktion. Das macht es, wahrscheinlich, für Kinder schnell uninteressant. 1 Stern weniger, da es keine Wegweiser gibt. Wenn man sich in dem Park nicht auskennt, steht man mal schnell vor einem Ausgang, der nicht der ist, durch den man rein gekommen ist. Das müsste man vll. ändern.

(Translated by Google) Worth a look, interesting and romantic experience. Definitely go and check it out. Your physical well-being is also taken care of. (Original) Sollte man sich anschauen, interessant und Romantisches Erfahrung. Geht auf jeden Fall hin und schaut es euch an. Für euer leibliches Wohl ist auch gesorgt.

(Translated by Google) Always worth seeing. Very lovingly designed light installations. Dogs are also allowed. The park shines with new lights every year and different themes are implemented. There are always a few installations that stand out and the €7 entry fee is definitely worth it. (Original) Immer wieder sehenswert. Sehr liebevoll gestaltet Lichtinstallationen. Auch Hunde dürfen mit. Der Park erstrahlt jedes Jahr in neuem Lichterglanz und verschiedene Themen werden umgesetzt. Es gibt immer ein paar Installation, die herausstechen und die 7 € Eintritt sind es definitiv wert.

Villa Hügel is an impressive testament to German engineering. The architecture and historical significance as the Krupp family residence are fascinating. A must-visit for anyone interested in technology and history!

A stunning and peaceful place filled with history. Once home to the Krupp family, Villa Hügel impresses with its elegant architecture, grand halls, and beautiful parkland. The exhibitions are well curated and give a deep insight into Germany’s industrial past. A must-visit if you're in the Ruhr area! Amazing place

I would give it a lower rating because there are no explanations in English in the museum, just a small leaflet at the entrance. You also have an app with AR, but only in German, but luckily, I got information beforehand on the internet and I use technology so I can get by, but as a museum, at least add explanations in English for tourists? This is a problem with many German museums. Anyway, the residence and the museum itself are magnificent. The staff is friendly, the park is beautiful. I also watched the TV series about the Krupps, so it was nice to see this in live. A truly magical place. I love history and historical sites and enjoy exploring them around Germany, but many institutions don't seem to care about tourists.

It was nice to visit the residence of this old timey Jeffrey Bezos, the villa and the garden are beautiful. English translations were missing in the exhibitions and most staff were rude - a number of times they shouted at me or my son in German. You can’t get anything to eat except for fries (nice but not fresh) and bratwurst that was very low quality.

This is one of the amazing places in Essen to visit. A beautiful historical building featuring rich pieces of history. The architecture and design are quite unique and breathtaking, making it very worthwhile to spend as much time going to the many various rooms and seeing artwork, classic furniture and many more. The park around the villa is also quite amazing to walk around and take a nice relaxing stroll. There is an entrance fee to the villa but it is very affordable and I would recommend a visit to this historical house. The place is on the other side of the S-Bahn station of Essen-Hügel, and there are signs to get to the villa, so you can’t really miss this fantastic sight.

An amazing home to visit and look around. The grounds around the home are stunning!!

Großeshaus was closed. I only visited the Kleineshaus which is the museum. Museum has only German subtitles which was dissappointing. Museum has 2 floors and the inside is all about the Krupp Family and how they grew their business, their effects on war, their products etc. There is a big garden where you can walk around and enjoy the clean air. The Villa is close to the Baldeneysee and the Hügel Station.

Enormous industrial complex that was changed into a free tourist zone. There are some events organized here, they were even getting ready for one, when I was there, so you would assume that's a perfect example of revitalization effort. Unfortunately that's not entirely true. Yes instead of a toxic plant there is a museum and a forest, however that is also all that's here. Some of the equipment was left under the sun on its own, getting rusty and overgrown, making it look quite sad. Most of the buildings are closed down and the guided tour shows just a fraction of them. There is also no possibility to go underground inside the coal mine, to explore its history. Thinking it was the biggest one is quite a shame. Overall even though the complex makes an amazing first expression the longer you walk through it the sadder it gets. Wasted potential...

My visit to the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex was an absolutely magnificent experience. It is truly awe-inspiring to see how this former industrial behemoth has been masterfully repurposed into a vibrant cultural landscape, housing museums, exhibition centers, a university, and more. The vision required to preserve such a monumental piece of history while breathing new life into it is simply remarkable. ​The sprawling 100-hectare site has been ingeniously transformed into a verdant park, with fantastic cycling and walking paths weaving through the imposing structures. This unique blend of industrial heritage and natural beauty means you can have a wonderful visit just enjoying the park, even if history isn't your main interest. ​Zollverein truly offers a full day of exploration and enjoyment for the entire family. With delightful cafes, excellent restaurants, and even a casino on the grounds, it's impossible to feel a moment of boredom. ​I was unfortunately pressed for time and could only spend three hours there, which was barely enough to scratch the surface. I am already planning my next trip to fully immerse myself in everything this incredible place has to offer. ​A Special Tip: To truly grasp the immense scale of the complex, I wholeheartedly recommend exploring it by bike or taking one of the guided cart tours. It's an experience that is absolutely worth it!

So pleasantly surprised by this place, it is insta worth it on its own but don’t miss out on the Ruhr museum, worth getting the full ticket to see the special exhibits. Humongous place to see not only the story is the mines but the area, its people and work. Could easily spend there several hours and still not see everything. Pair with Red Dot design museum in the same complex!

Parking is free, and information offices offer maps of this former industrial area, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The map shows the locations of the various exhibitions and indicates a circular route that takes about an hour and a half to walk at a slow pace. On Sundays when I was there, tourist trains run in the site and there are also guided tours. The ticket offices display the prices of the different tickets. I paid €10 for the Ruhr Museum and the Portal der Industriekultur, which has a panoramic terrace. This coal mine, began operating in 1932. Together with the processing plant, it occupied an area of about 100 hectares. It closed in 1986 and began its transformation into a cultural center in 1990.

A beautiful place. A huge mine listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The area around the mine is vast and green, and there's even a small playground for children. There's ample parking for cars. There's a small café on the grounds where you can enjoy a coffee or snack while waiting to enter the mine. Prices are reasonable. I recommend visiting this architectural wonder.

Surprisingly wonderful repurposing of an industrial site as a cultural centre. The juxtaposition of the buildings and metalwork with reclaiming nature is striking, and we could have easily have spent hours more wandering around than we had the time for during our visit. Easy to dismiss at a glance on the internt but remarkably affecting in person. Very glad we stopped to see it.

This made for a fascinating few hours. It's all quiet now but you can imagine the noise, heat and dust when it was operating. It has been very skilfully transformed into a coal museum and there is a large area to wander around by the coking plant.

I visited Dortmund Zoo on June 20, 2025, during the summer season, and it was a great experience overall. The zoo is conveniently located a short subway ride away from Dortmund’s main railway station, making it easy to reach. The entrance ticket cost €11, which I found quite reasonable for the size of the zoo and the variety it offers. The zoo is spread across a large area and features a wide range of animals from different regions around the world. It was fascinating to see so many species in well-maintained enclosures that reflect their natural habitats. There are several restaurants inside the zoo, offering a variety of food and drinks, so you won’t go hungry during your visit. I also noticed dedicated children’s play areas, which make it a great spot for families with kids. Overall, Dortmund Zoo is a relaxing and educational place to spend a few hours, especially if you enjoy being close to nature and wildlife. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

This zoo is very nice! For €7,50 per adult and free parking in October the price is really low. The majority of people says this zoo is small but I disagree and think this zoo is actually pretty large. A lot of well made habitats, however I do have to agree that some look like they could use a little attention. But this zoo is based on naturalism, so I think it’s fine. A lot of opportunities to see animals from up close and take good photos. Also some (very )special species, like the black jaguar, clouded leopard and red panda. If you want to you can spend the whole day here, there’s enough to watch. Most of the animals are very active, unlike in many other zoo’s where the majority of the animals are sleeping. The only negatives were the constructions, which made it impossible to see some animals. Also, the animal information in mainly only German and mostly cash only payments at food stands. But overall, especially for the price this park is very good! There were also very little people, al though we did visit on a Monday.

It was nice, there was lots of animal. More of birds, different types. It nice to go early if you want enough time.

Nice place for Sunday afternoon. Few spots were under construction. It was a nice experience 😊

Large space. Wide variety of animals. It's not in optimal conditions for them, but it does the job.

I loved this zoo, not too big, but very nice, in the middle of a beautiful park. There are some very interesting animals like tapir, ant-eater and rhinos. All of these just at arm's length. Outside of the zoo there is a n astonishing beautiful botanical garden. Really enjoyed it and recommend

Great value for the price. Did not know what to expect before we went, and was pleasantly surprised by what we got to see for the price ee paid. Sadly some animals were not in their habitat because of construction projects. Disclaimer: don't expect a premium zoo.

This was one of the best museums I have ever visited. I loved every part of it. It was infomative and interactive. I would love to return in the future. I spent 1.5 hour just on the first floor. I could have spent 5 hours here, super interesting for someone who loves football. I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in a more deepht history of the german football and in the football history in general.

We had an amazing guide!! He was very knowledgeable and really made the tour super fun!!

As someone who doesn’t really follow football, I enjoy the history of the game and the passion of the supporters. This museum is really well done. The items on display are interesting and the accompanying descriptions are detailed slough to tell the story, but not so long that you get tired of reading them. While I didn’t understand the significance of the whole “1954 Miracle of Bern” that greets you at the start, as my visit progressed it made more sense, and upon completing my visit I think it was a great way to open. I’m thinking there may have been more excitement in the air had the German National Team made the Euro Cup final being played the next day (England v Spain). I’m sure I’d have loved it even more if I knew the names and the stories.

The German Football Museum in Dortmund is a must-visit for any football fan. It offers fascinating exhibits, interactive displays, and a deep dive into Germany’s rich football history. Modern, engaging, and full of emotion, a great experience for all ages

I have heard all about this place in Dortmund and wanted to see what all the hype was about. Having seen it, I was impressed and would recommend it even if you are not much of a soccer (or football in Europe) fan. I like soccer a bit, and coming from Australia to see museums like this one was refreshing and interesting how rich pieces of soccer history relating to the Germany national soccer team have been preserved and put into a museum. There is a section relating to FIFA World Cup history, UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Bundesliga etc so there is no shortage of things for you to see. You can do a self-tour for a reasonable price which is quite good, and again I would recommend it even if you are not much of a fan of European soccer. For those who are fanatics, this is a must see place if you are in or near Dortmund. You really cannot miss this place, once you get out of the Hbf (central train station) you just cross the road and the museum is to your right. There is no need to purchase tickets in advance.

A very cool experience, which takes you through the history of German football with original exhibits from all times, but especially with the trophies from the World Cups won. A very interesting 3D cinema. and even a useful bistro on the way out :)

Great experience and stunning stuff to see. Fantastic animations and a pretty cool 3D movie to watch. Staffing was very friendly and supportive. There was no wait at all during the week in December. Would highly recommend for true soccer fans especially 2014 mold cup is a big theme for this museum. Ticket prices are ok.

Absolutely fascinating park! 🌹 Full of vibrant roses, charming walking paths, and even some friendly animals wandering around. It’s a perfect mix of nature and calm, you can spend hours here just soaking in the beauty and colors everywhere.

The park is very big and it has various areas depending on what you're interested in. A must see is the Florian Tower which offers a nice panorama of Dortmund and its surroundings. Another fun thing to do is take the train that goes around the park to quickly see what the park has to offer. Or the cable car, which goes from one side of the park to the other. For people with kids, there is a Nostalgia Puppet Theater, 2 playgrounds for smaller kids and a higher climbing playground for older kids. There's a Japanese garden, a rose garden, an art gallery, a culture center and a few cafes and bistros. The sad part is that some areas of the park seem to be under renovation (or they seem a bit in disrepair). I hope they will be renovated soon, because the park is very charming and beautiful.

A big park, with paid entry. If you want to visit the Florianturm, you have no other option, since the tower is located on its premises. When we were there also a flea market took place, interesting use of the space with all kinds of things to buy. Apparently it's also famous for its rose gardens, that as you can see on the map, take a big chunk of the park. However they were disappointing, maybe they span throughout the park, maybe it wasn't the best time, but I hoped to see more colors and variations.

What a great park for families with kids! Start with the Spielbogen. It's just playground upon playground, lots of fun things to do. Avoid the Kindermuseum (we happened upon an exhibit about bacteria 🤷🏻‍♀️). Be ready to pay a small fee for the train, visiting the tower and the cableroad. The only confusing thing to me was WHY I HAD TO QUEUE WITH EVERYONE WHEN I HAD PURCHASED THE TICKETS ONLINE. This was ridiculous!

A beautiful wide park with lots to do. Very relaxing and the landscaping is beautiful to look at and to photograph. I especially loved the flowers.

Very pretty flowers and not to expensive with the rides etc. If it's good weather you can make a wonderful day out with plenty of things to keep the kids busy.

Westfalenpark - Place for family day, train drive through the park, cable cars, sightseeing from the top of the "Floriantrum". From there you can also see Signal Iduna Park, stadium of the Borussia Dortmund.

Recently visited this beautiful Schloss and really enjoyed it! It’s a very interesting and photogenic place with a lovely water body surrounding the building, which adds vibrant and lively vibes — especially on sunny days. Although the Schloss is currently used as a Finanzhochschule and indoor entry isn’t allowed, the area around it is perfect for a walk or picnic. There’s also a fancy, sophisticated bistro on-site. Some construction work is ongoing, which blocks parts of the view, but overall it’s an excellent spot to relax. Free street parking nearby is a bonus..!!

Incredible walk around. Garden is extraordinary. Also a lot of birds and waterfowl , the pretty kind. I am told they have private weddings here sometimes. There is a restaurant as well.

Castle is beautiful from the outside and a walk through the park, enjoying the castle from all angles alone makes it worth a visit. Be attentive to last entry, as we were too late to see the castle inside. There's lots of birds in the water, so be on the lookout for cranes and more.

Although it looks like a castle this is a school for the tax and finance management studies for that province... you get to roam around the outercircle and surrounding of this premises which has a huge park full of sculptures at its back side and a water body surrounding the castle which has ducks in it. You can only get inside if accompanied by a resident of the building otherwise it's a good walk around surrounding.

This is a very beautiful castle! Unfortunately, we did not have an excursion inside it, but the outside territory is impressive. It's a big green area with a pond and fountain. Not far from you can find the center of the city with cafes and restaurants.

Nordkirche Castle can be reached in about 35 minutes from Münster by car. There is enough parking space. Nordkirchen Castle is a very large moated castle in the Baroque style, with a beautiful park and waterways. The castle is very popular for weddings and also for excursions. A small part of the interior can be visited with a guided tour. There is also a restaurant with a beautiful terrace.

What a beautiful place! It was very busy during the day so we came back at night when parking was better. Walked the grounds and took some cool night photos of this mansion! Great place to walk, sit, ride bicycles. Used as a school now.

Animals were really cool, you can get quite close up to most animals, though there was NO information in English or Dutch or any other language. So if you can't speak German and want to read up, don't go. It was quite clean everywhere, loads of space to walk, no crowdedness at all (we went early).

The zoo is nice, the animals are well cared for and look happy. They have quite spacious enclosures, and there are many renovation works going on, so it will become even better.

This zoo is absolutely worth the visit, beautiful animals with nice habitats. We have come all the way from the south of Germany to visit this zoo and it didn’t disappoint us.

A large and beautiful zoo with both expected and surprising animals. Very family-friendly and great for kids – you can rent pull-along wagons, which are super handy. Clean restrooms and affordable parking (€5 per day). Also, a good place to visit when the weather isn’t perfect, thanks to several covered areas. Dogs are welcome, too, which is a big plus for us. Tip: book your tickets online in advance – entry is usually faster and often cheaper. Highly recommended!

We had a brilliant day visiting here! The zoo is clean and tidy. The animals are well looked after and cared for. The staff are super friendly. There's lots of things to see and do. Lots of amazing playparks scattered around the park. We were able to feed the elephants - free of charge! And also the little parakeets. They have a few walk in enclosures, goats and lemurs. The whole day was fantastic! I would highly recommend visiting here! Children of all ages and adults would have a great time!

I really liked this zoo. The parking lot is very big so there's enough space to park your car. Another benefit are the parking- and entrance fee which aren't very high. The zoo is quiet big and offers hours of fun! They are building something near the entrance which will be done in 2022. I'm very curious and will definitely visit the zoo once this is done. There are various species of animals in this zoo and especially quiet a few different species of big cats. I love big cats which makes this zoo amazing! Most animals do have a good amount of space, but not all of them. For example the lions. Their habitat isn't the size it should be. And I think that some animals habitats are a bit doll. This zoo is also great if you have children. There are a lot of playgrounds where your children can play. There are also enough toilets throughout the whole zoo and a lot of different points where you can buy some food. I had a great time in this zoo and that is why I would recommend it to others.

In my opinion, the zoo feels a bit cramped for the animals. About 50% of them seem to use the same small paths repeatedly, which doesn’t make them appear happy. Some animals, like the meerkats, seem to have enough space and look content, but others do not. For example, the indoor area for the giraffes is quite small. We stopped by the restaurant for a hot chocolate to go. The price for a “large” hot chocolate was listed as €3.90, but it ended up being €4.20 without any prior notice. On top of that, we paid an additional €1 for the Pfand (a refundable deposit). Overall, I think it’s an okay zoo, but I feel bad for the animals. For instance, the African wild dogs have worn down a single path in their enclosure from walking the same route repeatedly. That said, the zoo’s size and animations are decent.

Good place to relax and has good connectivity from the main station and got a lot of car parking and toilets.

The place was clean. A very peaceful environment. A very great pathway for jogging and walking.

Beautiful lake. There is facility of boating in the lake which costs around 10Euro. You can sit near the lake and see the ducks and other birds. Around the lake, one can go for walk or jogging.

Wonderful place to take long walks and just relax!

A very nice place to visit beautiful lake alongwith park and tracks

Hardly ten minutes on foot from Prinzipalmarkt, Aasee is a 40-hectare man-made lake beginning on cusp of the old town and continuing southwest for over two kilometres. The lakefront is cushioned by a broad band of inviting parkland, laid with lawns, trees and public art, and travelled by cyclists, joggers and strolling families. There are restaurants and cafes at regular intervals and a raised terrace in the modern complex on the north shore, where you can also hire a pedal boat for self-navigated trip around the lake. At this spot you’ll find the jetty for SOLAARIS, a solar-powered boat that ferries people from the city centre to the Allwetterzoo on the west shore.

Really awesome and beautiful lake. Worth a trip, either for a walk along the bank or to take a little boat and paddle along. We choose the latter, a bit tiring but really worth it!!

Very nice Cathedral. You need to see here while you visit Münster. The astronomical clock is very special.

A must-see if you're in Münster! This cathedral has serious character a mix of Romanesque strength and Gothic charm. And don’t miss the astronomical clock inside it moves counterclockwise! Super unique and oddly mesmerizing. Great atmosphere, beautiful square outside, and full of history. Even if you're not into churches, this one is worth the stop.

One of the biggest church in Germany, survived the bombing from the allied forces in WWII, a historical building that las for more than 600 years. This is the place that I finally had a service, to confess my sin with one of the pastor there after more than 1 decade. This church will be forever in my heart ❤️

I was inside. The church is nice but the astronomical watch is awesome! When I read about it more I had to come back and take a look at it once more. It is a piece of art. Just wait until a full hour or any quarter of an hour.

Visited St.-Paulus-Dom today and found it to be a truly impressive and peaceful place. The architecture is stunning, with towering stonework, vaulted ceilings, and intricate details that reflect its deep historical roots. You can really feel the weight of centuries as you walk through the space. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a quiet moment of reflection, this cathedral is well worth a visit. A beautiful example of sacred design and cultural heritage.

Marvellous cathedral in an old town in Münster. If you are staying or travelling near this city, it is very worthwhile to make a visit and go through the old town and make your way to this old and impressive cathedral. It has a rich style of architecture and classic interior with interesting decorations. Normally it is free to enter into any cathedral, especially one that is old and is located in the old town (or old city - Altstadt). Each cathedral has its own amazing piece of history so if you have time, it is worth checking out.

One of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen. The architecture, the stained glass windows, the art inside are just amazing. The astronomical clock was my favorite part.

The water park is a top favorite for my son! He absolutely loved it. It’s well equipped and fun. There’s an area with sand and also with hard cover flooring so that’s good. There’s food stands about 5 minutes away from the water park and the walk around the area is absolutely beautiful. All the flowers, butterflies and everything made the day really beautiful.

The park is nice, with a nice artificial pond, playground for kids....but the entrance fee seems unjustified as many similar parks have free entrance

This place is really cool. Well structured, safe, clean with endless hours of (non-screen time) fun for kids! The gardens are immaculate, beautiful and well taken care of. They’re complimented by an array of statues that pay homage to the history of the site. The butterfly enclosure is beautiful and houses numerous species from around the world.

The park is really great. Children have lots of fun here. There is playing options for both smaller and bigger children. The water playgrounds in hot days are a hit! The butterfly house left us amazed. Very beautiful. There is events happening for children - all information can be found on their website.

Really enjoyed the park with our kids! A lot of different playgrounds and garden themes in an former industrial coal mining area. Clean park and good conditions of playground equipment. Will definitely come back with the family when around.

This is a neat place to visit if you have time and want to see the giant glass elephant, but honestly not worth the time to get over there for much else. It’s a great place for kids as there is a ton for them to do, but not as much for adults.

I’ve never seen so many different designs of playgrounds in one park! Both me and my kids enjoyed this park a lot. There’s a little dining area by the lake, you can order Fries and bratwurst and Currywurst there.

Red pandas are very cute! Looks in good condition and full of vitality🥰However, I noticed that the elephant was showing a lot of anxiety, while the bear appeared to exhibit stereotyped behavior. I think the zoo needs to arrange doctors for them as soon as possible☹️The entrance fee for the zoo is 25 euros, which is relatively expensive among the many zoos I have been to. I think they should ensure the living standards of the animals

Fun zoo with animals and playgrounds. On a rainy day there is not much cover while going around and the playgrounds get muddy.

Great park! It's a big park but everything is perfectly doable in one day. The route's / walkways through the different areas is really nice to see everything. It would be nice to have German ánd English on the animal signs to speak to a broader audience. (Get the tickets online, they are cheaper and saves a line at the entrance(if there is any))

Best zoo to visit, it’s really beautiful and they have a big playing area for kids. Recommended

The zoo Osnabrück that has been around for more than 80 years. Its a very nice zoo with a lot of variety of animals, from ants to elephants. The zoo is continuously being improved to make the experience even more beautiful. there are plenty of eateries, seating areas, toilets and trash cans

It was clean and staff friendly. Some of the enclosure seemed a little empty at the start didn't seem like much to see. The bear and the tiger were great to see. No sign of the lion.

Its a very nice Zoo with lots of cool Animals, but they didnt really look after the Animals. Like there was a dead Snow-Owl and the Confinements were full of poop.

That animal park was awesome, with a playground and a great cafe! I didn't remember to take pics until we were almost out by the bird area.

We visited this Tierpark during the Herbstferien. It's nice, free, and beautiful + colorful scenery of fall season, and cute animals. We can see various animals (didn't expect that this free Zoo has a lot of animals). You can park your car with only €2 Tagesticket. Entrance of the zoo is free, but you can make donation to the donation box. There is big outdoor playground as well, and kids enjoyed it so much.

Great for a fun day out with the family. Kids will love exploring the woods and seeing all manner of wildlife in the ample and well-constructed enclosures. Wolves, bears, deer, guinea pigs! What's not to like? Add to that great playgrounds and plenty of parking spaces (at a mere €2 for a full day, Nov 2025), yummy catering services, plus no entry fee to the park itself, and you've got yourself a no-brainer of a day out. Outright recommendation!

Very crowded at weekends. Really good collection of local wildlife. Better visited via weekdays.

One of the most-lovely animal parcs I had ever been! The parking ground is near by and costs only 2€ for whole day parking. The park itself is for free, but cool people drop some coins in the donations when leaving the parc! The parc is big and very very nice and goes directly over to the forest - so you can combine the parc with nice walking/hiking. In the parc there is a restaurant for small snack near by a cool playground for the kids.

Very nice place without entering fee, thanks to the city! 🙏 Lots of animals and some nice playgrounds for the children. Also nice for hiking and biking. Good for a drink or some food and a place to find some rest outside the city. If you ever plan to visit Bielefeld, don’t forget this place, it’s worth it (nicer then the centre 😉)

Amazing park. Unbelievable its free. But it also give it a certain vibe. Was a great visit with young kids

Gorgeous castle to come see. It’s not much but it’s the history that’s involved. The views are amazing since it’s on top of a mountain. There is a building that appears that they’re putting in a restaurant but I’m not sure. There’s an info office available for anyone. The only downfall to going there is the problem for tourists with the gps. Not sure if it’s because of signal but it has us going a direction that seemed like a bike path. Other than that, the castle was cool.

Place is super cozy and beautiful located on a perfect location. We were struggling to understand the parking if it was paid or not. But the person from the help desk there was super kind and made us understand it better. For the rest they have a cute restaurant located on the square inside of the castle. For the rest they also had a tower that you could see for free (was today free normally 3 euro entrance) and the view was amazing. While we were there there was also a proposal. So it’s also possible to organise those on that location. People and location perfect. Def recommend on a sunny day.

One of the best places to visit in Bielefeld! It offers a beautiful view of the town and gives “Bam-e Tehran” vibes (located in Tehran-Iran). Perfect for a walk, picnic, or just taking in the scenery.

Castle set in lovely grounds. Great views from the top of the tower, worth paying to go up there. There's a great little cafe too with good coffee.

Very nice heritage experience. From top to the burg, you are definitely going to see whole Bielefeld city if you visit during good weather. I was unfortunate because unfortunately I went there during chilling winter.

I really loved the place.It was clean,hygiene and Green .Love the Location and the best part was getting to the castle with a small hike . Good Place to Spend the weekend with your loved ones 🏰❤️

Really lovely event for medieval festival, well worth visiting when it’s on! The castle itself is also nice and has a fantastic view.

Nice place burn a candle for my mother

Beautiful church, a nice quiet spot to get away from the heat.

Saint Liborius Cathedral in Paderborn was founded in the 8th century, but the present building dates mainly from the 13th century. In the crypt, one of the largest in Germany, the relics of St Liborius are kept. The church was restored with Baroque additions after the Thirty Years' War, during the reign of Prince-Bishop Dietrich Adolf, and also had to be rebuilt after the bombings of the Second World War. These later additions and reconstructions did not fundamentally alter the overall appearance of the building

The history here was incredible! We couldn’t believe the feeling of antiquity inside this place with a date of 850 AD for a beginning. The three rabbits with three ears between them was an intriguing icon.

Beautiful place. This Dom is located at the centre of the city. The Cathedral is a house of God and not a museum. Guided tours are also available.

The mesmerising cathedral has been the site of a church since Charlemagne founded a bishopric at this very location in the 8th century. As we see it now, Paderborn Cathedral’s architecture is both Romanesque and Gothic and was completed relatively quickly during the 13th century. The powerful 93-metre western tower is Paderborn’s most famous image. Despite sustaining war damage that destroyed the Medieval stained glass, the cathedral is rich with decoration and fittings. Seek out the Paradise Portal on the southern arm of the western nave. This entrance is from the beginning of the 1200s and abounds with French-style statues that include one of the earliest images of a standing Mary in Germany. Also look out for the Pietà, sculpted in Hesse in 1360, an alabaster relief of the Three Kings from around that time, and the Gothic 15th-century Margarethenaltar.

This is a beautiful cathedral. The Stations of the Cross are beautifully unique and a must see,. You can feel the history and peace in and around this holy landmark. It is worth a walk through and around.

The height of this statue is really impressive. You can see the statue from afar, but you don't realise how huge it is. It's really impressive when walking around it. There is also a nice viewpoint nearby. There are lots of hiking routes around the statue, just follow the signs. There's also an option to buy tickets so you can get inside, but you're not nearly halfway up. If it's worth it, I don't know.

good place for walking and relaxing. Nearby there is paid parking, but if you go down 200 meters, then there is free parking. entrance to the territory is free, but climbing to the observation deck is already a fee.

A very nice monument to visit, very scenic!

Nice location on the top of a hill. Well directed from the city. Parking is at 4€, if you want to go up the monument you need to pay additionally. Area might be crowded during weekends. There is a kiosk and a restaurant, toilets and a climbing park in the trees. There is also an open air stage.

Great views, lovely park around it too

Well connected by the public transport and a bus takes you the stop near to this Denkmal. 1 to 2 hours are sufficient to explore the area, capture the surroundings and get to the top of the Denkmal even on a weekend

If you want to go up there is a ticket for 4€ but if you want to visit extersteine and hike up, you can buy a combi ticket for 6€. Seems like a long walk up the statue. The views are so amazing thinking back in the day it was where arminius and barbarians ambushed the roman legions. Worth the visit!

Went there on a Public Holiday, it was full up of people.The place is Calm, no chaos.Though if you are looking for no crowd at all , i would suggest to go there in the weekdays.The Tickets counter Accept Cards,CashApple Pay as well ,so nothing to worry about.But the bad thing was that after getting there we were thirsty, and there was no kiosk Open at that moment of time.So carry your own drinks would be a nice idea(Be Independent 😝). Its a must visit place if you never been there, its clean and you need to have comfortable clothes and shoes to climb the rock. The way to the rock Structures have a good offbeat trek, so me i walked almost 1.9km to reach there. But there is a alternative way as well by which the trek is smaller.

I find this place calm and close to nature. You can do picnic stuff or enjoy the nature. The day I visited this place is a rainy day. The best part is plenty of parking space and a flat parking fee of 4 euros. You can hike, sit and breath in nature here. You can climb the stairs with a fee of 4 euro ticket and the view is amazing from the top. The ticket counter have timming, it close at 5 pm. So better check online before you visit but still you can enter in park and spend some quality time.

A wonderful, beautiful place. It's better to go for the whole day and take a snack with you. There is a large park with paths around. There are enough benches to sit, relax and admire the views. You can also pay by card at the cash desk. A machine behind the park takes cash.

The stones themselves are nice but the experience leaves much to be desired. Too many people are allowed to go up at once which leads to difficult and sometimes dangerous situations on the steep stairs. In my opinion they should limit the group sized going up, maybe working with a timeslot system, to avoid overcrowding and make the experience more enjoyable. Also the Pinnacle of the big stone, the one you reach by the small bridge is full of graffiti and could benefit from a cleaning.

Very nice place to do a hike with friends or family. Nice spots for any photography enthusiasts as well.

Top Experience. I recommend going in Fall season. Nature is just lovely here.

Definitely worth a visit if nearby - you can visit for half an hour or make a day out of it.

I liked the Balitherme a lot. A short stay here gives the feeling and rest of a short vacation. However over the last years the building substance suffers from a lack of maintenance. Food in the restaurant is great! New rituals are very good but expensive. I do not like that the free sauna program is cut to make room for these options. Sonetimes it feels like you are forced to pay more to get an experience that is free in other spas. However I would recommend the hot and cold ritual. Best cost to value in my opinion.

The entrance to the Bali Therme is really high 42.5 € on a Sunday for a full day ticket. Additionally, the food and drinks are really expensive. It is almost impossible to get a meal below 16 €. The warm pool in the sauna area was really disgusting because it was really dirty. Many particles were floating in the water and the floor was really dirty. The floor needs cleaning and the exchange rate of the water needs to be increased. I hope it is not a health risk. The infusions on this day were really rare. The Therme was really growded but most of the time there was only one infusion every hour. For this price I would definitely expect more. It was disappointing and I will not come back. Next time a visit a Therme which is worth its money.

Went to the Balitherme and booked the Banya ritual. Rahul was great, incredibly patient and very accommodating. It was my first time experiencing anything like this, and I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was definitely value for money. I will be doing it again.

Very worthy for the price point . The main pool is big and has many jets to offer( which were not operating for some reason for us ). Lots of different options available. Kneipe, clothed Sauna , steam bath. The outdoor pool area is a bit boring with less Jacuzzi or water jets. 1Euro day parking is very useful. Would recommend and love to visit again.

Nice sauna with gut aufguß especially Wenik aufguß wirklich gut. There is a bit of a lack of cooling facilities; there are cold showers but no ice baths unfortunately. The parking was disastrous though. Their own parking was full even at a weekday at 1030. They said I would get ermäßigung at Vienna Hotel but I did not receive it.

it was a cool experience ! if u r here with friends u can have real fun !

Arrived at 3pm on Wednesday 16th April 2025 and was told there would be a 3 hours wait! No queue evident, pools looked quiet and 2 people had just been admitted. Am left wondering whether the fact I am black and with my 2 teenage sons has anything to do with it?!

You have to pay for the parking 🅿️ near the Monument. 1h = 2 euro. Next h cost 1euro

Superb historic landmark. It got modernized and now has good parking, a high class, slightly expensive restaurant as well as a miniture museum. Great view to a lot of the surrounding landscape. The most recent addition is a quite extensive playground for the kids. If you want to hike, thats also quite possible. It is wheelchair accessible all around. The only tarnish is the trash and glass shards everywhere, sadly a now common sight in germany.

If you like places with view; its a good choice.

Majestic on mountain top looking down on his kingdom. This monument is grand and dignify. Providing pay-parking, clean restroom.

A unique build monoment in porta city. Easily accessible to people living near by. Have parking ticket. Entry ti monoment is free. A small park for children is on side and binoculars yo watch the city from top. Good outing, less walk and calm place around evening!

Historic and photographable . Great view

Beautiful Monument which is well preserved and worth seeing! Big parking space is available. For wheelchair users there are reserved parking places. At the parking space there is a Kiosk where you can buy Souvenirs and a cup of coffee. The monument is about a 500 meters slight uphill walk from the parking space, the monument is wheelchair accessible. Great view over the Weser (when the weather conditions are good) is waiting for you. The monument is huge which you will realize when you are standing next to it. Recommended

Looks lovely from the outside. We had no idea, as overseas tourists, that you had to pay to get in. Apparently you can get free daily access with the local tourist card (which still needs to be paid for). Entry to the park was €6 for an adult at the time of our visit. Again, as tourists, we're not sure this is good value. Perhaps the local tourism authority should review the promotion of this attraction.

A classic English Garden with a wonderful, wide variety of different trees from all over the world. Tickets for €6 (adults) are only available at the main entrance. Water fountains and a Tea House (cash only!!!) making the park worth a relaxing afternoon trip.

Even without the flowers and the palms that have been taken inside for the winter, it is a beautiful walk with many wonderful trees. Paths are wide and clean.

For me one of the nicest parks in europe! Also very nice for Kids. 5€ entrance Fee. Good value for the Money.

Had a very nice walk around this park, lots to see, we did not have to pay to get in. Not many people about so we really did take our time. There are many banks to sit on and also enough cover should it rain or get to hit. If you should visit the park I would put aside about 2-3hours or with the kids maybe more. Nice place for a Picknick. There is also lots of Wildlife to see, Ducks, fish and so on. I think the entry fee is about 4 Euro‘s at the end of May?

Super place- for people and aliens ☺. You can relax here seeing the Beauty of the nature. One of the best kurpark in the world ☺ P. S. My friend Chuchucambra has just here landed on his spaceship and he said to me that this Kurpark is really fantastic 😘

Open only for paying visitors. Nice park, but not worth the money you have to pay to go in.

That was a truly great experience. We had a chance to have an open guided tour around the church and the adjacent palace. The Westwerk (the oldest from the time of king Carl the Great) is really unique. Unfortunately the abbey was subject to state capture in 1803, but luckily it's again in private hands and flourishing. Great garden with masses of flowers in the "backyard"

Victor and Alexandra are very helpful and kind owners of the castle. In difficult times, they received refugees from Ukraine. We lived in better conditions. Victor and Alexandra helped me with everything! They helped me forget the horror of my experience. Thanks a lot! They have a very kind heart! ❤️❤️❤️

Impressive and detailed historical site. So much to see! The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Very extensive grounds which contain the stately home and a richly decorated church both included in the ticket price. Large car park for visitors. In 2023 the Bundesgartenschau is being held in the grounds but this costs a little more.

Beautiful and impressive. A must if you are in the area. Souvenirs and food can be purchased. Guided tours

The Garden show was good. We Didn't visit the Monastery.

Very beautiful place! Highly recommend to visit it! Old castle, beautiful nature

Fantastic night and totally different. Loved it. Thank you. Xx

Coooool

One day i will come here!

Nice place

(Translated by Google) I played the detective room with 6 English-speaking colleagues and we mastered it successfully. The puzzles are mostly logical, but we needed a hint every now and then. We were looked after very friendly by the friendly staff. So, all in all a recommendation! (Original) Ich habe den Detektivraum zusammen mit 6 englisch-sprachigen Kollegen gespielt und wir haben ihn erfolgreich gemeistert. Die Rätsel sind meist schlüssig, wir benötigten aber ab und an einen Hinweis. Wir wurden durch das nette Personal sehr freundlich betreut. Also, alles in allem eine Empfehlung!

(Translated by Google) I was there with my two children (13,17) in the medieval room. This is very lovingly designed and definitely a huge fun factor. It's like you're in another world. Clues come at the right time. In short, we had great fun. I would definitely recommend it and would be happy to do it again. (Original) Ich war dort mit meinen beiden Kindern (13,17) im Mittelalterraum. Dieser ist sehr liebevoll gestaltet und auf jeden Fall ein riesen Spaß Faktor. Man ist wie in einer anderen Welt.

(Translated by Google) Very well thought out, simple concept. That an old villa with little puzzles can keep so many people busy. At first glance it might not be a super modern facility, but all the really important things are offered there and small groups have to work as a team. The most important thing... a team without WhatsApp (Original) Sehr gut durchdachtes ,einfaches Konzept. Das eine alte Villa mit kleinen Rätseln so viele Menschen gut beschäftigen kann. Auf den ersten Blick vielleicht nicht die super moderne Anlage.dort werden aber alle wirklich wichtigen Dinge angeboten und kleine Gruppen müssen als Team arbeiten.

Magical castle close to Hannover, sadly still closed, but it’s still beautiful to see even just from outside. Maxton Hall was also filmed there and there are three scenes outside the castle that you can visit if you’re a fan like me, it’s a nice place for just having a nice walk or taking pictures

Marienburg Castle is absolutely stunning — one of the most impressive medieval castles in the world. The architecture is massive, detailed, and perfectly preserved. Walking through the halls feels like stepping back in time, from the brick courtyards to the Grand Masters’ rooms and the beautiful views over the river. The museum exhibits are excellent, very organized, and full of history. The audio guide makes the experience even better, explaining every corner of this incredible fortress. It’s a long visit, but worth every minute. Highly recommended for anyone who loves architecture, history, or just wants to see something unforgettable.

I visited last week and it was good place. Quite place. I went for 1 day trip. Enough parking space and sunny weather. I enjoy 4 hours there. Recommend for visit.

This looks like a great Schloss to visit but make sure you check the times as it is not open on Unification Day!

Unfortunately, the castle is temporarily closed for renovation. But, nice grounds, trails to walk, and free parking.

On our way back from Hanover to Einbeck on a sunny summer afternoon, we made a quick stop at this beautiful castle near Pattensen. Even though it wasn’t open for tours at the time, it was absolutely worth it: easy access from the road, plenty of parking, and a big green area perfect for a short walk or just relaxing in the sun. The castle itself looks like something out of an old fairytale, with lots of authentic details and stunning views from every side. It’s a lovely and memorable stop that I’d recommend to anyone driving between Hanover and Einbeck!🏰🌳

One of the most stunning fairytale castles ive visited in north germany 😍 & of course the shooting location of MaxtonHall Limited access due to renovations atm Pov: Can't wait to revisit in summer when the entire castle will be accessible

Serengeti Park Hodenhagen absolutely exceeded our expectations! We had an amazing time exploring the self drive safari. It's incredibly well organized and gives you a rare chance to see exotic animals up close from the comfort of your own car. From giraffes walking past our windows to rhinos grazing nearby, the whole experience felt like a mini African adventure right in Germany. What impressed us the most was how smoothly everything ran. Entry was well coordinated, the drive-through routes were clearly marked, and there were friendly staff around to guide and assist if needed. The animals appeared healthy and well cared for, with plenty of space to roam. But the fun doesn’t stop there. The amusement park section was a fantastic surprise. There’s a great mix of rides and attractions for both kids and adults. The park is clean, spacious, and offers a lot of variety to fill the entire day. Overall, it’s 100% worth the visit, especially for families or anyone looking to do something unique over the weekend. We left with so many great memories and can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend!

We went for the Halloween special and we really enjoyed it. It wasn't too busy, and not too scary. We were able to enjoy all the rides without a wait on most occasions. Unfortunately, both rollercoasters were not operating, I dont know if this is normal for the winter months. We stayed in a safari comfort lodge, which was clean and perfect for the three of us. It was quite small, but we were only in there to sleep. The accommodation is immediately next to the park and restaurant. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet which was included in our package. We didn't have time to experience the safari park this visit. We will definitely be returning next year.

An interesting park with a lot of different animals. My recommendation is to go through the park in your own car instead of the bus, as it is really safe and better for seeing the animals. Touring by car takes about 2–3 hours, after which you can visit the amusement park within the same area and spend another 3–4 hours having fun—rides, winning teddy bears by throwing into baskets, food available around. There is also a place where you can feed and pet goats, sheep, and llamas, which is truly wonderful for animal lovers. Overall, a very nice experience and recommended.

It is a really great place for a whole day family trip! The safari part is incredible, we were on our own car and haven't regretted it. You can see animals really close, they have plenty of space and look really healthy. And we loved the amusement park! Surprisingly there were almost no ques, we didn't have to wait more that 5 mins for a ride. Top place, highly recommend!

One of the best Safari park in northern Europe ! Very large, organised, clean and must visit. The rides are also a bonus and included, if you want to cover both I recommend to start early spend 09.30 to 12.30 at the safari, have lunch and spend rest of the day at the rides. The rides are for all age groups and parking facility is quite good, so can easily walk around. There is also an indoor play area for younger kids. Overall can easily spend a full day with family having fun and good memories !

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

The Petting Safari area allows children and families to get hands-on with domestic animals like alpacas, donkeys, and goats, providing a more interactive experience particularly loved by young visitors. Visitors can feed and cuddle the animals, making it a fun and educational part of the visit for kids. Adventure Safari and Entertainment Beyond the animal encounters, Serengeti Park boasts the Adventure-Safari area, home to more than 40 amusement rides and attractions tailored to all ages. Roller coasters, water slides, carousels, and Ferris wheels offer excitement and thrills for adrenaline lovers, while gentler rides ensure even toddlers can join in the fun. Alongside the rides, live shows, acrobatics, music performances, and interactive events weave learning opportunities into an enjoyable entertainment program. Water World within the park provides boat tours for a relaxing family experience on serene waters, complementing the dynamic animal and adventure zones with moments of calm and beauty.

The resort atmosphere allows guests to extend the safari adventure into a multi-day vacation immersed in the wilds of the park’s surroundings. Visitor Experience and Feedback Visitors consistently highlight the park’s unique blend of wildlife and amusement, praising the quality of the safari experience and the variety of activities available. The park stands out for its educational focus, with knowledgeable staff delivering engaging information about animal behavior and conservation efforts throughout the visit. Children find the hands-on and interactive elements particularly memorable, while adults appreciate the park's spacious natural habitats and commitment to animal welfare. Some visitors note that certain parts of the park, such as specific rides or facilities, show signs of wear, but the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive and worth the visit. The multiple themed areas inside the park ensure a diverse range of experiences, making Serengeti Park a versatile destination for family holidays, school trips, or wildlife enthusiasts.

From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt a genuine sense of welcome and community. The atmosphere is both peaceful and uplifting, making it a place where anyone can feel at home. The worship is heartfelt and sincere, blending tradition with a sense of relevance that speaks to all generations. The message delivered was thoughtful and grounded in Scripture, offering not just inspiration, but real-life application. Whether you're seeking a church home or just visiting, this congregation offers a meaningful experience that truly reflects the spirit of Christian fellowship.

If it would be Catholic, nice, sadly they overtook the probably once even more beautiful place. But the crypt is still catholic, and also really beautiful. Protestants even today gladly could not erase Mary completely outside of the history.

Great Architecture. One of the best place to visit. Peace of mind. Wonderful.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Very nice church to rest your mind in the morning. Had some nice organ music to.

Impressive romanesque, beautiful wood painted ceiling and four mosque- like round towers.

Absolutely beautiful and so peaceful.

A lot of reading required. Very sparce, no option of a guide but it is free to enter

Inevitably a very thought provoking experience. A very detailed museum with photos, video artefacts etc. Outside it was not fully clear where to go, take the free map. Nice to see Anne Frank's memorial, her story has moved me for over 50 years

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

The history in this memorial was extremely tough to see but important to know so the past will never be repeated

Poignant and moving. Very well narrated in the stories and pictures in the museum which is new. Camp site tells the story well although it is only the foundation now as it was destroyed at the liberation due to disease concerns.

Very emotional and at times hard to see. Important so learn what can sometimes happen if bad people are allowed to go too far

A very sobering place to visit

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

Hundreds of years of history preserved in the old town. A renovated castle with the oldest theater stage in Europe.

We did a guided tour. She was amazing and explained everything really well. Enjoyed the parts we could see. She said that the chapel won’t be accessible starting on December until March due to reparations so take into consideration.

Visited Celle Castle in February and absolutely loved it. I didn’t go inside, but just walking around felt like stepping into a fairy tale. A charming stop if you’re in Celle!

A beautiful place with rich history and well preserved rooms. The chapel and old theatre were highlights. The museum is interesting and staff are really friendly.

Worth it to visited, the city is very beautiful and in old style , lots of history, small street, cafe restaurants

Pretty castle in the old town of Celle. You can go inside as well.

We should really thankful to those people centuries ago constructed these great structures. Every inch has a history and a story and a voice. Kids should be made to learn about these buildings and the people behind it.

Enjoyed the Nativity the children put on. Wished there was more music

This is a marvelous place to visit. Beautiful frescoes! It was great to see the tomb of Henry the Lion and Mathilde as well as the wonderfully atmospheric crypt.

Braunschweig Cathedral is a truly extraordinary place that left a profound impact on me. From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported to a bygone era, overwhelmed by the weight of history that permeates every corner of this majestic structure. The cathedral's architecture is a testament to human creativity and skill. Its soaring spires and intricate details are a sight to behold. The craftsmanship on display is nothing short of remarkable, with each delicate carving and carefully placed stone revealing the dedication and talent of the artisans who brought this architectural masterpiece to life. Every turn brought new surprises, and I found myself lost in admiration, marveling at the sheer grandeur of it all. However, the cathedral's beauty extends far beyond its physical appearance. Its walls reverberate with stories of centuries past, and the sense of timelessness is palpable. It has witnessed historical events, joyous celebrations, and solemn moments of reflection. As I learned about its rich history, I couldn't help but feel a deep reverence for the generations that came before us and the cultural heritage they left behind. Inside the cathedral, I encountered a collection of special sculptures that added an extra layer of fascination. These sculptures, meticulously crafted with exquisite detail, seemed to possess a life of their own. Their expressive forms and captivating presence drew me in, and I was captivated by the stories they told. Each one was a testament to the artistic prowess of the past, reminding me of the power of human creativity and the ability to transform stone into something truly extraordinary. In conclusion, Braunschweig Cathedral is more than just a building. It is a gateway to the past, an architectural wonder, and a repository of history and art. Visiting this remarkable cathedral is an immersive experience that will transport you to ancient times and leave you with a deep appreciation for the enduring legacy of our ancestors. Prepare to be enchanted by its timeless beauty, to marvel at its architectural splendor, and to be moved by the stories it silently whispers.

The structure of the pilars is quite diverse and unusual.

Excellent, Beautiful. The Organ representding Angel Wings was amazing

A long overdue piece , I visited this absolutely beautiful cathedral in April, it was a cloudy morning and I was incidentally in time for Ms.Monika's famed church tour (it was around 11 am ) , and boy was i was amazed. She breathed and lived the cathedral's rich history, dark times and the subsequent restoration. Her impeccable attention to detail and careful explanation bought the cathedral to life. A proficient bi -lingual (German and English) , she did an outstanding job to weave the narrative of the journey of the cathedral from past to present. The tour itself is about an hour and free , the cathedral has stood the test of time and is a testament to faith, history and changing times of the surrounding regions. The architecture (gothic- renaissance) is a splendid remainder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the city itself. The staff and local agencies involved are doing a wonderful job of preserving this splendid piece of architecture, if Braunschweig is not on your radar, give it a try, gems like these won't dissapoint you.

Stunning City Palace with a remarkable history. The old home of the Dukes of Braunschweig, the last of whom abdicated in 1918, the Schloss was destroyed twice, first by fire and then of course in the bombing raids of the Second World War. Against massive protests it was demolished in the 1960s and finally rebuilt in the 2000s to cover a shopping mall. You can easily spot the parts that came from the original Schloss. The architecture is beautiful and the site is in the centre of the city so absolutely a must visit when in Braunschweig. There’s a small museum in the left hand wing of the palace that is free, as well as the lifts to see the Quadriga at the very top that’s also free for the time being. The entrance is just to the right of the main entrance.

In Brunswick's schlossplatz stands the stunning building known as Brunswick Palace. When I passed by this majestic monument on the route to Gaussberg Park, I must admit that it was awe-inspiring. Only when I travel to the UK do I see monuments like this. According to what I was told, this palace was constructed sometime in the 18th century and underwent a number of renovations over its existence. I have heard that it once served as a residence for the Brunswick dukes in the 18th century. Wonderful to pass past this building.

Very large market set stores all to wear. To all ages and restaurants of supermarkets sweetened glasses and more

There is a good place to spend time and eating, shopping...

Beautiful place to in the evening filled with people and you enjoy a drink and great shopping and food options.

Very beautiful building with a lot of shops inside, interesting connection old with a new one

Very nice view from the top of the buiding. And the statue is fantastic (and very heavy!?). You must see it.
