Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Lida Castle, a restored citadel dating back to the 14th century, is steeped in legends and celebrated in literature. Once a magnificent residence of Deputy Chancellor Pawel Stefan Sapieha, it now stands in ruins. Built around 1610, the stone castle featured an entrance gate and chapel surrounded by ramparts and bastions. Despite not everything being restored yet, it remains one of the most ancient castles in Belarus.
A beautiful place. Anyone who is a fan of history would love it, but even if you're not, I think the atmosphere over there is calming . Ideal if you really want a short trip out of the city.

Trakai Island Castle

Mentioned on 
+37 other lists 
Castle
Museums
Trakai Island Castle is a picturesque turreted castle situated on a serene island in Lake Galve, just off the coast of Trakai. Dating back to the 14th century, this Gothic castle offers visitors a glimpse into Lithuania's rich history and culture. Connected to the mainland by a charming footbridge, the castle houses the impressive Trakai History Museum, showcasing an array of artifacts including chainmail, medieval weapons, embroidery, and glassware.
A Trip Back in Time at Trakai Castle! Wow, what an incredible place! If you want to feel like you’ve stepped straight into a fairytale, you absolutely have to visit Trakai Castle. The whole experience starts with a walk across a wooden bridge over the lake, and the view of the majestic red-brick towers is just breathtaking. From the moment you arrive, you get this amazing medieval feeling. We had the best time exploring the cobblestone courtyard, climbing the wooden stairs, and peeking into the old halls. You can almost hear the echoes of knights and dukes from centuries ago! The museum inside is really well done and brings the castle's fascinating history to life. It truly feels like a journey back to the 15th century. Just a friendly heads-up, the castle is currently undergoing some important restoration work to keep it looking fantastic for years to come. While this means some areas might be sectioned off, it honestly didn't affect our visit. There is still so much to see and explore, and the atmosphere is completely magical. Don't let the ongoing work put you off! This place is 100% worth the visit for its stunning beauty and incredible historical vibe. We absolutely loved it!
Kestas G — Google review
Visiting Trakai Island Castle was like stepping into a living piece of Lithuanian history. The moment you cross the wooden bridge over Lake Galvė, the red-brick towers appear in full majesty — calm, proud, and full of stories. Inside, each hall has its own character: the Grand Duke’s chamber feels royal and atmospheric, the armory impresses with real swords and armor, and the exhibition about Vytautas the Great brings the medieval world to life. I loved how well-preserved everything is — you can almost imagine knights, musicians, and nobles walking through these halls centuries ago. Helpful Tips for Visitors: Arrive early, especially on weekends — it gets crowded quickly. Book tickets online in advance to skip the queue. Take a guided tour or audio guide — it adds so much depth to the visit. Bring cash for local shops or snacks — not all vendors accept cards. Don’t miss the inner courtyard and lake views — perfect for photos. Families with kids should visit the dungeon and towers — they’re always a hit! After the castle, try the legendary kibinai at “Senoji Kibininė” nearby — the perfect finish to your day. Trakai Castle isn’t just a tourist attraction — it’s a real time machine that lets you feel the spirit of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. A must-see for anyone who loves history, architecture, or simply beautiful places that make you pause and breathe in the past.

Stunning castle in one of the most beautiful settings in the world. We were lucky with the weather as it had been raining all day the previous day. The restauration of the castle is amazing and still ongoing. Certain areas were closed because of that and because we visited out of season. But still lots to see with a huge number of period artefacts. Gives you an idea of how important trade was. Tranquil setting with nice walks in the area. Not many visitors but I can imagine it gets very busy in Summer. Good restaurants around on the lake side leading to the castle. It's a good walk from the station, about 3km, but beautiful along the lakes. The whole experience was magnificent and the on site toilets were immaculate. Access for wheelchair users a bit tricky and you need to be fairly sure footed due to the old cobbled roads and paths. But what a place. Return rail ticket from Vilnius was about €6.

A very cool medieval castle and a museum! Despite some rain and October gloomy weather, we had a great time exploring the castle. The grey skies gave the whole location a nice vibe, and the forest and lake surrounding the castle looked stunning.
Lena I — Google review
Had an lovely experience visiting Trakai. Nestled in nature, the entire environment is incredibly calming and beautiful. The colorful houses and the vibrant surroundings make it a truly picturesque destination. The peaceful ambiance, especially with water all around, adds to the tranquility. And of course, if you visit, you absolutely must try the kibinai, a delicious local treat that adds an authentic touch. Absolutely worth the trip!
Joyatee D — Google review
I visited Trakai Castle in October, and it was absolutely stunning. The autumn colors made the entire island look like something out of a fairy tale — golden leaves reflecting on the calm lake, with the red brick walls of the castle standing proudly in the middle. The weather was cool but pleasant, perfect for exploring without crowds. The walk across the wooden bridge to the castle is beautiful and gives you plenty of photo opportunities. Inside, the museum is well-organized, with interesting exhibits about Lithuanian history, the Grand Dukes, and medieval life. There’s also a sense of calm and history that you can really feel as you wander through the courtyards and towers. Even though some areas felt a bit touristy (like the souvenir stalls near the entrance), it didn’t take away from the experience. I’d recommend stopping at one of the nearby cafés to try kibinai, the local pastry — warm and delicious on a chilly autumn day. Overall: A must-visit if you’re in Lithuania. Trakai Castle in autumn is simply magical — peaceful, picturesque, and full of history.

We visited a beautiful, photogenic castle situated on an island surrounded by water. During our visit, a portion of the castle was closed for renovation, which unfortunately affected the quality of our photographs. The interior of the castle is rich in history, and the local guide was very knowledgeable in sharing its stories.

The Trakai Island Castle (Trakų salos pilis) is a stunning medieval fortress set on an island in Lake Galvė, Lithuania. Reached by wooden bridges, it feels like stepping into a fairytale. The red-brick towers, calm waters, and scenic surroundings make it one of the country’s most photogenic spots. The museum inside is informative, and boat views are magical at sunset. A must-visit day trip from Vilnius for history and nature lovers alike.

Lietuvos etnografijos muziejus

Museum
History Museums
Open-air museum showcasing local customs & culture, with folk performances & hands-on workshops.
Lithuanian Ethnographic Museum (Lietuvos Etnografijos Muziejus) – an absolute gem for anyone who loves culture, history, and immersive travel! 🌾🇱🇹 This place is a solid 10/10 – no exaggeration. You can easily spend the whole day here (or even longer), wandering across a vast area filled with traditional wooden houses, windmills, barns, and workshops from different regions of Lithuania. Everything is arranged with incredible attention to detail, and the interiors feel like they’re frozen in time – some even dating back 300 years. What makes this museum special is that you don’t just look – you interact. You can step inside the buildings, touch the tools, see how everyday objects like flour or pottery were made in the past. It’s one of the most hands-on, open-air museums I’ve ever visited – perfect for families, history buffs, photographers, or anyone who wants to feel like they’ve stepped into a Witcher-style world. There are also taverns and food stalls on-site where you can taste authentic Lithuanian cuisine – highly recommend the cepelinai (potato dumplings filled with meat and topped with crispy bacon) and craft kvass (“GIRA” – an easy 10/10!). The entire museum is laid out like a miniature version of Lithuania, with different ethnographic regions represented – so it feels like a cultural road trip within one location. It’s clean, well-maintained, and incredibly atmospheric. The vibe is seminarium to the "witcher"

We visited this place on 26th January, on the last Sunday of the month so we did not pay the entrance ticket. The area is very big and they also turn on the lights of attractions when the sun sets. You can easily spend the entire day here. My suggestion is to come here when winter ends since all the houses were closed and there were no animals. Also, there was only one cafe open, Arbatine. We had a very nice day in the nature, and we will surely come back on summer, when the place can offer the most. PS: The right address is L. Lekavičiaus gatvė 2 Rumšiškės and not 2 J. Aisčio gatvė, where there is only the administration office.

A great place to visit! Very well organized, with a large area perfect for walking – you can easily spend the whole day here. In the town section some points are open where you can buy things, so it’s good to bring some cash. There’s a post office, a craftsman demonstrating traditional work, a restaurant (cards accepted), and a shop with local products like honey. Highly recommended!

What a wonderful place! Don’t think of it as a museum, but as a beautiful, enormous, gorgeous natural park. It’s wonderful! So much nature, it’s breathtaking. It was free today (Sunday) and we only payed 2 euros for parking (license plate scanning). There are toilets at the entrance. The souvenir shop was closed as it was Sunday, I suppose, and I couldn’t see anywhere to eat, so maybe bring some snacks and water. You can also get to the observation tower. We wished we had more time here, you can spend hours exploring and enjoying nature!

This is super interesting to check out. Bring a lot of time and pick a dry day. There is a lot of walking required for this, but it is worth it. There are buildings from all over Lithuania, most of them can be walked though fully equipped with furniture and all in very good shape. I liked the town center the most, there were some things to do. The viewing tower might need an update some time soon.

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!

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!

Sights & Landmarks
Kaunas Castle is a medieval fortress that offers art and historical exhibitions, cultural events, and guided tours. The castle hosts outdoor exhibitions of various works by international artists and showcases photography galleries. Visitors can also take walking city tours to explore the center and Old Town of Kaunas, including historical and architectural monuments like St. George's Church, the Theological seminary courtyard, Town Hall Square, baroque churches, and more.
It’s worthy to see this castle - after all, it is a symbol of the city! Inside there is a museum - price is low (for student 2€), but exhibits are not interesting. There is a view of the city from there - the free one is better, but remember that in Kaunas you can find better places for this, for example the Alexota funicular.

A very nice castle, but quite small once you get inside and with status you need to be careful as they are quite steep and you will need to wait for people or to go upstairs or downstairs as you can do both at the same time as it’s quite narrow. Worth a visit tho. The prices for tickets is ok too £4 for adult, but for students, kids, retired and disabled people gets it’s cheaper or does not pay at all which is nice.

9th Fort of the Kaunas Fortress

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
The 9th Fort of the Kaunas Fortress, originally built by the Russian Tsar in the 1800s, has a haunting history as a Nazi execution site during World War II. It now stands as a museum and memorial to the 50,000 Lithuanians and Jews who lost their lives there. The massive monument erected on the site serves as a solemn reminder of this tragic past.
Definitely worth a visit. Monemument and information regarding mass killings is sobering but presented respectfully. Information inside the exhibit is thorough and well worth while spending the time to read. Available in both Lithuanian and English.

We took a bus from Kaunas Centre here it was €1 and took about 30 minutes. As you arive there is a coffee machine at the carpark (there is no cafe or shop to get food here) it is a short pavedcwalk up to the main museum €8 Euros to go in to the Museum was well work it. There is so much to see inside. Well thought out displays and installations. Was history and so.e very thought provoking displays. Everything is displayed in Lithuanian and English. You can walk around the outside area for free. 100% recommended this for a visit 2-3 hrs would do it justice to see Everything!

Beautiful place marked by history. The fort has a very interesting museum and the exterior, including the monument, is a sacred place. I recommend going in the spring season to see all the vegetation in bloom, seemingly in contrast with the history written here.

If you want to understand something of the history of the region in the 20th century, this fortress gives a good overview. I had no idea that the Lithuanians continued to resist the Soviet occupation well into the 1950s. If you go by bus, remember to press the stop button before you reach the stop. I didn't and ended up a mile or two in the wrong direction.

I won't even mention the price!!!! 13 rubles, well, that's incomprehensible!!!!!1!!........ the woman at the checkout was completely impudent, tried to rip me off for 10 rubles in change..... and didn't even apologize... I don't recommend it to anyone, it's better to just look at pictures on Google... definitely won't set foot here again....😣 (Original) зоопарк просто ужасный ,все животные сидят в своих коморках ,не вылазят на свет. не на кого посмотреть!!!!!!во всех клетках одни голуби и воробьи ,и кому нужны вообще эти петухи, которые есть у всех на даче!! те кто снаружи выглядят болезннено плохо 😬😬😬 террариум вообще работает только до 15:00!!!!!!!! а мост..мой любимый ... вообще сломали и закрыли 😔 очень грязно ,везде антисанитария........про цену вообще молчу!!!! 13 рублей,ну это уму не постижимо!!!!!1!!......... женщина на кассе совсем обнаглела ,пыталась надурить на целых 10 рублей сдачи.....и даже не извинилась.... никому не рекомендую,лушче просто посмотреть картинки в Гугле...однозначно больше сюда не ногой....😣

(Translated by Google) Such a wonderful, beautiful city, but the Zoo did not live up to our expectations. Terrible conditions for animals. Small cages, only a floor and a couple of branches. No trees inside, no normal locations. The fence and everything else is from the Soviet Union, they could have redone it. We were in the animal park in Baranovichi, Minsk, everything is very beautiful there, at a height, and here we wasted our money. It was a pity for the animals, it's hot, and they have nowhere to hide from the sun, they lie on the sand and die ((( (Original) Такой прекрасный ,красивый город, но Зоопарк не оправдал наших ожиданий. Ужасные условия для животных. Маленькие клетки, в них только пол и пару веток. Ни деревьев внутри , ни локаций нормальных. Забор и всё остальное с советского союза, можно было и переделать. Были в парке животных в Барановичах, Минске там всё очень красиво, на высоте, а тут зря отдали деньги. Жалко было животных, жара, а им бедным негде спрятаться от солнца, лежат на песке и умирают(((

(Translated by Google) The bird exhibit was decent, since most bird species are usually kept as pets. The mammal exhibit, especially the large predators, was extremely depressing. The bears and monkeys were pacing back and forth in a state of zoochosis. The bear enclosures were all concrete and stone, no greenery, just a dirty pond where they could cool off. The ungulates were also kept in small enclosures, with virtually no greenery. The toucan was either sick or very stressed, and was going bald. This zoo was the first place where I felt sorry for the hyena. I am not a fan of zoos in general, but the enclosures could have been made bigger, so that they would have been more interesting and natural for their inhabitants. (Original) Экспозиция птиц была приличной, поскольку большинство видов птиц обычно содержатся в домашних условиях. Экспозиция млекопитающих, особенно крупных хищников, крайне удручающа. Медведи и обезьяны расхаживают взад-вперед в состоянии зоохозиса. Вольеры для медведей полностью бетонные и каменные, никакой зелени, только грязный пруд, где они могут охладиться. Копытные тоже содержатся в небольших вольерах, где зелени практически нет. Тукан либо болен, либо испытывает сильный стресс, он лысеет. Этот зоопарк — первое место, где мне стало жаль гиену. Я вообще не сторонник зоопарков, однако вольеры можно было бы сделать побольше, чтобы они были более интересными и естественными для своих обитателей.

(Translated by Google) We were on holiday in Grodno and decided to visit the zoo. Unfortunately, we were very upset and saddened that such prisons for poor animals still exist. Nowadays, zoos should meet modern standards. Animals and birds should be kept as in nature, where there is enough space for their normal existence, lifestyle, needs. And not in cages, where, one might say, there is no room to turn around. A real nightmare. I am sure that the government of Belarus has enough resources to build a normal wildlife park! I wish you to do this. Also think about equipping the park with sufficient stations where you can buy water, food, where children can play, a room for mothers and children to change diapers, etc. In general, this is unacceptable in our time. It is a pity to see this. (Original) Отдыхали в Гродно и решили посетить зоопарк. К большому сожалению, были очень расстроены и огорчены, что до сих пор существуют такие тюрьмы для бедных животных. В наше время зоопарки должны соответствовать современным стандартам. Звери и птицы должны находиться, как в природе, где достаточно места для их нормального существования, образа жизни, потребностей. А не в клетках, где , можно сказать, развернуться негде. Сущий кошмар. Уверен, что у правительства Беларуси достаточно возможностей, чтобы построить нормальный парк дикой природы! Желаю вам это осуществить. Также подумайте о достаточном оснащении парка станциями , где модно купить воды, еды, где можно поиграть детям , комнаты мамы и ребенка, чтобы поменять подгузники и пр. В общем, это недопустимо в наше время. Видеть это жалко.
Bewegen Z — Google review
(Translated by Google) The Grodno Zoo caters exclusively to those without empathy for animals. The infrastructure is outdated, and the park staff lack knowledge of animal care. A visit to the zoo will expose you to animal suffering if you possess a shred of sensitivity. The zoo doesn't even meet minimum standards. (Original) Grodzieńskie zoo jest przeznaczone wyłącznie dla osób bez empatii dla zwierząt. Infrastruktura jest przestarzała, pracownicy parku nie mają wiedzy jak się zwierzętami zajmować. Wizyta w zoo ukaże ci cierpienie zwierząt jeśli masz w sobie odrobinę wrażliwości. Zoo nie spełnia nawet minimalnych standardów.

European Bison Show Reserve

Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
The European Bison Show Reserve is a captivating wildlife haven that offers visitors the chance to explore walking paths while observing majestic bison, wolves, and elk in their natural surroundings. Nestled near the Bialowieza National Park, this reserve provides a unique opportunity to see European bison up close—something that's quite rare in protected areas. For a modest entrance fee of 20 zlotys, guests can delve into fascinating museum exhibits that detail the history and biology of these magnificent creatures.
Great nature reserve with big enclosures, and yet much wildlife to discover and observe from close up (with a bit of luck and good timing). Saw some bad reviews about "nothing to see" which I can wholeheartedly object with a bunch of pictures of all the amazing animals we have encountered. Might be a bit day/time dependent. We visited in the morning and noon hours on a rather cool summer day and had a blast 🤩

Almost not animals and those that are available to see are sleeping or hiding. Ticket is 25 PLN. Free parking.

The animals have plenty of space; the wolves hide best — we barely noticed them, as they were sweetly sleeping away from everyone among the trees. There is a playground. Two hours is more than enough for a leisurely walk. Large parking, there are ticket vending machines.

Unfortunately, we didn’t see most of the animals. Not sure if they were hiding somewhere or simply not there. Since it was also very hot, the animals were very sluggish and mostly lying in the shade. Maybe it's better to visit on a cooler day, but I wouldn’t recommend it on a hot summer day.

There is not much to see to be honest just like 4,5 similar animals and that’s all and it is not big too but they charging a lot like we were the family of 7 people and after all discounts and everything we paid 72Z which is not worth at all after driving that far no one us enjoyed not recommended at all

Białowieża Forest, located on the border between Poland and Belarus, is a vast expanse of primary forest covering 141,885 hectares. It is one of the last remaining natural forests in Europe and is exceptional for its biodiversity conservation opportunities. The forest is home to a significant population of European bison, as well as numerous other species including reptiles, amphibians, mammals, birds, and invertebrates.
Beautiful and well preserved forest, definitly worth visiting with a guide to have all info about the trees and Flora around you. Better Luck to find animals outside of the strict protected area, in the forest, we spotted beautiful bisons and wolves !

Europe's last primeval forest hosts 800-year-old oaks with distinctive bark furrow patterns. Biologists confirm 12,000 insect species within a single square kilometer. The reintroduced European bison herd displays behavioral adaptations to tourist presence. Boardwalk trails minimize ecological disruption.

Fortress

Brest Fortress, also known as the Hero Fortress, is a 19th-century fortress located in Brest, Belarus. It gained its heroic title to honor its defense during the German-Soviet War of 1941-1945. The fortress features imposing ruins and a museum that provides background on the events of World War II. Visitors can explore artifacts and photographs from this period. The complex also includes a brutalist-style concrete memorial statue.
This place contains some very impressive and awesome Soviet era megamonuments! Fantastic to see and awe at their size and message
Raphael N — Google review
Brest Fortress is one of the most interesting and powerful places I have visited. It’s not just an old building — it’s a place full of history and emotions. During World War II, in June 1941, German soldiers attacked the Soviet Union. The Brest Fortress was one of the first places they attacked. Even though the Soviet soldiers were surrounded and had little food or water, they fought bravely for many days. Some continued to fight for weeks. Their story is amazing. Today, you can walk around the fortress and see many parts of it. There is a big monument called “Muzhestvo” — a giant stone face of a soldier. It really makes you think about what happened here. There is also a museum with old photos, letters, and things that belonged to the soldiers. Everything is shown in a very respectful and interesting way. The whole area is quiet and clean. It’s a good place to learn about history and to remember the brave people who were here. If you are in Brest, you should definitely visit this place. I spent about 2–3 hours here and it was totally worth it.

Impressive fortress complex, with several large monuments, especially "Courage", commemorating the battle fought here against the invading Nazis in June 1941. All very Soviet-style overly dramatic, but still impressive, and worth a visit. Entry to the fortress is free of charge.

Good museum to give background to the events during WW2 that occurred at the fortress. Some displays are in English, but you can easily get the idea about the artifacts and photographs which have not been translated. Do not miss the excellent museum shop downstairs. Very reasonable prices on some interesting souvenirs, from coins to old bullets.

Being German and having visited this place, I did not only find it horrible to walk through the area of the mass graves but also constantly asked myself how a country that had so many good people, so many poets and scientists can have such a dark past.

Entry is free - pay 7 sloty for use of toilet and parking.

The history behind is quite horrible. It is very important not to forget the history. The museum is nicely maintained, and they have films which you can get access through demands to the guard. The onsite location is around more then 2 km long,. There is a way where you can drive a car or bike which we didn't know. Onsite location is not nicely maintained. I have seen better one.

This is not fun place. Tropican naming as fun and current state of aquapark (if you can name it as awuapark) are on different ends of spectrum. This place has been redesigned for calm, chill place. Nothing, nada, zero related to Tropicana. I would call this as large open steril open space. Synonyms to medical reabilitation premices than Tropicana. Kids amenities is a joke, cheap plastic structure in a large open space. I as an adult I had some relaxed episodes during my stay here, but as I cam with kids, they got bored relatively quick.

Centrum Nauki Kopernik, also known as the Copernicus Science Center, is a modern and expansive science center in Warsaw. It offers a wide range of interactive exhibits, a robotic theater, and a planetarium. The center is particularly popular among families with children due to its 400 interactive exhibits designed to spark curiosity about science and space exploration. While it may be challenging to explore everything in one visit, visitors can choose their main interests and immerse themselves in hands-on experiences.
A very high-budget project, and a good one. One of my favorite places I visited in Warsaw, you can't miss it if you're here. Very interactive. I was there for around 3 hours and it wasn't enough to see everything. The time flew by. I could spend the whole day in here. I wasn't bored for a second. Absolutely incredible!

Quite busy during a weekday with soooo many school kids visiting (can't even imagine how it's like over a weekend!) but, undeniably, it's worth it! A thrill for kids and adults alike! You could easily spend there a full day, if only the restaurant was located inside the place... Sadly, you have to step out to get warm food. The cafeteria sells only sandwiches.

The Copernicus Science Centre is an absolute must-visit in Warsaw. Having worked for almost two years in a similar science centre (Technopolis in Mechelen), I can honestly say that this place made a big impression on me. Everything is modern, interactive and designed to make you explore, test and discover. Each area is clear, well-organised and very well maintained, with a wide variety of hands-on exhibits ranging from physics and biology to robotics, technology and optics. The atmosphere is lively and inspiring without ever feeling chaotic. The staff is friendly, helpful and clearly proud of what they do. The location by the Vistula River adds an extra touch to the whole experience. We truly enjoyed our visit — so much that we can confidently say: 👉 The Copernicus Science Centre is even better than Technopolis.
Carine V — Google review
The museum is interesting and worth spending several hours. The only bad thing was, that it was really overcrowded with school classes when we went there. We came particularly on a week day in the morning, just to find a terribly overfilled museum. it became better only in the afternoon. It would have been really better if they admitted less classes at the same time.
Raffael B — Google review
The Copernicus Science Centre in Warsaw is hands down one of the most impressive, modern, and engaging science museums in Europe. It’s a place where learning feels like an adventure, and where science becomes not just something you observe — but something you do. Whether you’re traveling with kids, friends, or even on your own, it offers a truly unique and interactive experience for all ages. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a futuristic, open space filled with light, movement, and energy. The entire centre is designed to awaken curiosity. Rather than glass cases and plaques, you’ll find over 450 hands-on exhibits that invite you to touch, experiment, build, break, race, question, and discover. This isn’t a place where you’re told how science works — it’s a place where you’re encouraged to figure it out for yourself. There are several thematic zones, including one focused on motion and mechanics, another on human perception, one dedicated to light and optics, and even an area exploring the roots of civilization. Each zone is packed with clever, well-thought-out installations. One moment you’re lifting yourself with pulleys, the next you’re conducting a sound wave experiment or walking through a tunnel of mirrors. Everything is bilingual — in Polish and English — which makes it very tourist-friendly. Families with young children will especially appreciate “Buzzz!”, a separate area just for toddlers and younger kids, where they can explore at their own pace in a safe and stimulating environment. For teenagers and adults, the “Re:Generation Zone” offers a deeper dive into artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and human behavior. One of the major highlights is the Planetarium “The Heavens of Copernicus”, located in a dome-shaped building next to the main centre. The shows there are visually stunning and informative, covering topics like the solar system, the Big Bang, and space exploration. English headphones are available, and the seats are incredibly comfortable — perfect for a moment of wonder and relaxation. There’s also the High Voltage Theatre, where you can see dramatic Tesla coil demonstrations and lightning shows — thrilling for kids and grownups alike. And the Robotic Theatre, where lifelike humanoid robots act out short plays, is something you won’t find anywhere else. On weekends, older children and teenagers can take part in science labs (biology, chemistry, robotics, and physics), which are included in the ticket price. These small group workshops allow participants to carry out real experiments under supervision — a brilliant initiative that adds even more value to the visit. The architecture and location are also worth noting. The centre sits right along the Vistula River and offers access to a rooftop garden with stunning views over Warsaw and the riverbanks. It’s a beautiful, green space that offers a moment of quiet after the buzz of the exhibitions below. As for the practical side: tickets are reasonably priced for what you get, but booking online in advance is essential, especially during weekends and school holidays. It can get very crowded, and entry slots sell out fast. The café on site offers a good range of snacks and meals, though seating can be limited during peak hours. There are lockers, a gift shop, and very clean facilities. What could be improved? During busy times, the centre does feel overcrowded. Some exhibits get worn down from overuse and could benefit from more regular maintenance. Also, while most staff are helpful, not everyone speaks fluent English, which might make asking for help a little trickier for international visitors.

The Royal Castle in Warsaw is a reconstructed 14th-century palace that showcases an impressive art collection and offers guided tours of the royal apartments. Despite suffering significant damage during World War II, the castle was meticulously restored in the 1970s. It now serves as part of the National Museum, featuring original exhibits and housing 37 paintings in its Lanckoronski Collection, including two beloved Rembrandt portraits.
The Royal Castle in Warsaw is a remarkable blend of beauty, history, and resilience. Standing proudly in Castle Square, it serves as a powerful symbol of Poland’s rebirth after being completely destroyed during World War II and meticulously reconstructed. Inside, the lavishly decorated rooms, ornate chandeliers, and rich art collections — including works by Rembrandt — capture both royal grandeur and national pride. Walking through its halls feels like experiencing centuries of Polish history, from monarchy to modernity. More than just a museum, the Royal Castle embodies the enduring spirit of Warsaw and is an essential visit for anyone wanting to understand the city’s cultural heart!

The Royal Castle in Warsaw is an absolute must-visit for anyone interested in Polish history and architecture. Standing proudly at the entrance of the Old Town, this beautifully reconstructed palace tells a powerful story of resilience. Completely destroyed during World War II, it was rebuilt with incredible precision, funded by donations from Polish citizens. The restoration is so detailed that you feel like you are stepping into an authentic 17th-century royal residence. Inside, the rooms are lavishly decorated with rich tapestries, grand chandeliers, and stunning paintings, including works by Rembrandt and Canaletto. The Throne Room, Marble Room, and Great Assembly Hall are particularly breathtaking. Walking through these halls, you can easily imagine the grandeur of royal ceremonies that once took place here. One of the highlights is the “From Destruction to Reconstruction” exhibition, which shows how the Castle was meticulously rebuilt from ruins — a deeply emotional experience. The surrounding Royal Gardens offer peaceful views over the Vistula River and are perfect for a quiet stroll after the visit. A great tip is that entry is free every Wednesday, so if you’re planning your visit, try to take advantage of that. However, be prepared for possible crowds on free days. The only downside is that the ticketing and entry process can be a bit chaotic, and some staff members seemed less helpful to tourists who don’t speak Polish. Despite that, the experience is unforgettable. The Royal Castle is not just a museum — it’s a symbol of Poland’s spirit.

A beautiful visit — definitely worth it. The Royal Castle in Warsaw is impressive for its history and the elegance of its rooms. On Wednesdays, admission is free — a great opportunity to explore the site at no cost. I recommend arriving about 30 minutes before opening time to avoid lines and secure your ticket, as the number of free entries is limited.

The Royal Castle in Warsaw is absolutely stunning and very impressive! The castle is huge, with beautifully decorated rooms and rich history throughout. I spent about 2.5 hours exploring and listening to the free audio guide, which was incredibly helpful and informative. There are free lockers downstairs for your belongings, and there’s also an introductory movie next to the lockers before starting the tour. Unfortunately I didn’t notice it, but I am sure it’s a nice addition before starting the tour. It can get quite crowded at times, but it’s definitely worth visiting. A must-see landmark for anyone interested in history, architecture, and Polish culture!

It’s genuinely hard to believe that this is not the original castle - it blends in perfectly with the surrounding buildings and architecture but somehow is less than 50 years old. Impressive resolve from the Polish people to set out to wipe out the damage and erasure that the Nazi’s tried to impose upon them in the 1940s. So much of Polish history is stories of their people resisting, and this building is a beautiful monument to that.
Conor S — Google review
The tour is impressive, to say the least. We really enjoyed our visit here, it’s a good introduction in the polish history and it is very understandable and quite well compelled, even for a foreigner. The only (minor) downside is there are probably too many details about the architectural features 😁

The Royal Castle Museum in Warsaw is an absolute must-see, not just for visitors to the city but for anyone interested in Poland’s history and identity. It was here that the last King of Poland, Stanisław August Poniatowski, sought to modernise the country. His reign brought lasting reforms such as the Commission of National Education and his central role in drafting the Constitution of 3 May 1791 – the first modern constitution in Europe and the second in the world after the U.S. Constitution of 1787. The Senators’ Chamber (Sala Senatorska), where this landmark act was adopted, remains one of the most moving rooms to visit, steeped in the spirit of reform and courage. The castle also bears witness to Poland’s darkest hours. The dramatic protest of Tadeusz Rejtan against the Partition Sejm, later immortalised by Jan Matejko, symbolises resistance to betrayal by magnates such as Adam Poniński (shown with Russian bribe money at his feet), Szczęsny Potocki, Franciszek Ksawery Branicki, and Seweryn Rzewuski. Matejko’s great canvases displayed here vividly portray both the passion of the reformers and the despair at Poland’s fall, partitioned by Russia, Prussia, and Austria and erased from the map for 123 years until 1918. Beyond politics, the Royal Castle is also a treasury of art. Among its highlights are the magnificent cityscapes of Canaletto (Bernardo Bellotto), painted with almost photographic accuracy thanks to the use of a camera obscura. These 18th-century views of Warsaw turned out to be invaluable after the devastation of the Second World War, when they became the blueprints for the city’s meticulous reconstruction. The collection also includes masterpieces by European painters such as Rembrandt – though unfortunately, the signage and guidance towards these works were not very clear, and we missed them on our visit. While the museum itself is magnificent, the customer service and staff guidance could be improved. Clearer directions, more attentive advice, and better signposting would ensure that visitors don’t overlook key treasures like Rembrandt’s paintings. Overall, the Royal Castle is a living chronicle of Poland’s resilience, combining political history, national tragedy, and artistic splendour. It is a place where history, art, and identity converge, and despite some shortcomings in visitor support, it remains one of Warsaw’s most important and unforgettable landmarks.

Amazing and overwhelming at times. The ceilings, furniture and inlays were very authentic. The blue room, the red room, the gold room, etc. they were all stunning. And the artwork, so many pictures, walls and walls of historical artwork. My favorite room was where they used semi authentic lighting to show how mirrors were used to reflect candle light to light the rooms. It helped give you an idea of what it must have been like. Also the ceramic structures that were in each room to show how the rooms were heated. My favorite was the one with the dolls around it. Cannot recommend this enough. If you don't do anything else you must come here.

Didn't allow pictures as if who knows what they are hiding in the cave. Troll's treasure? Plenty of pictures already online in other reviews. Cave is tiny and not worth the money. Better spend your hard earned cash in the castle next door, more entertaining and customer-focused.

Interesting caves and nice live guides, but when we arrived we did not have an option of a different language and had to listen the guide in Polish, but the cost is reasonable. you should dress well as in summer it is +9 C inside. You are not supposed to take pictures but probably it was meant to avoid flash

It's super cool, but the place isn't exactly the best. You can tell there are a ton of bootleg stores in the area with only 3/4 regional things. The place is kind of overall very getto and the wait times are HORRENDOUS. Waited 3hrs to get in, and when I finally did it was for 5mins at best. Looks cool at first, but don't come here. 2 stars for the looks in the cave. Nothing too out-of-the-ordinary but it's nothing special. Just some stalagmites. Also, only polish??? What happened to being friendly to people outside of poland?! I saw some people from the UK and they were totally confused. DONT COME HERE. GRAVE MISTAKE.
Noah V — Google review
Great place to visit for the whole family. Beware, the inside of the cave and its visit for the 20 minutes inside has about 8 degrees Celsius. There is no gift store with extra clothing (hint, hint organizers) thus bringing your own polar or a sweater with a hood is advisable. This is a guided tour, 15 people per guide. Don't be surprised if you have to wait 3-4 hours for your turn, buying tickets online and reserving your spot is a good idea. Recommended.

Slaughtered Animals Monument

Sights & Landmarks
The Slaughtered Animals Monument in Wroclaw is a unique and interesting place to visit. Located near handcraft shops and popular pubs, the monument pays homage to the animals that were traded for meat in the Middle Ages. The sculptures serve as a reminder of the historical market practices where only "clean" produce could be traded at Rynek and Colth Hall, leading to the trading of meat at a distance.
A very cute statue with some animals, kids like to play around with them and it was nice to walk past them!

Despite the handcraft shops that there are to be discovered and one of the pubs with popular «pub quizs», you will undoubtely notice the animal sculptures. They were placed there as an hommage to them, but not because they were heroes or something like this... In an earlier time when the Rynek and the Colth hall were used as a market place, not every produce could be traded there, but those supposed clean. It meant that meat had to be selled and bought a bit farther. Thus little street not far was the chisen place. In fact just in front of the animals you will still find the wood doors on the floor were merchants kept the meat (and themselves) underground to offer it to the people passing by without spreading their smell.

Steam Festival May 2025. The advantage of the 'VIP' area is that you have a seat and a reasonably good view of the 'parade', run pasts, which was impressive. However, you can't see the opening ceremonies, brass band, cheerleaders, etc. It was very crowded with limited seating areas but quite a few food and drink outlets and retail goods. The evening light show was disappointing.

After wanting to visit for a few years, I finally made it. The displays were incredible, but I was truly sad to learn there is no longer a daily train service, only limited and on Saturday. I wish I had known that before arriving. However, I’m so glad I had the chance to visit; it felt like Disneyland for this railfan, and I may well be back!

Interesting museum especially for the enthusiast with several running trains and a number of dilapidated ones left alongside. Some old carriages the various descriptions even a snowplough that attaches to the big trains. I would recommend this place as probably one of the few places left runnung these beautiful masive living steam machines especially, if you are an enthuast, If you re not, still worth a visit and you can ride on a working steam train which I understand regularly runs on commercial tracks. So whilst I am not an enthusiast my wife seems to enjoy this sort of thing. Could probably spend a good half day, running back-and-forth on the steam train and combining that with the museum. They have a couple of trains that have featured in some well-known films, including the one in Schlindeler's list. Incidentally, that was a brilliant emotional historical film. If you are in the area and have some time, it is worth a visit.

We visited the castle and toured the rooms. Very nice setting. We did not stay at the hotel, but visited for a day.

It was a nice place to explore and relax.

Statue of Christ the King

Pilgrimage place

The world's largest statue of Jesus Christ, financed by donations from the town's residents.
My goodness this was amazing. The towns people donated the money to make this. It’s really really good. Steps are a short cut but there is a round pathway up to the statue. Nice because there are also other signs and statues to see as well. Also some statutes on the far side of the property. Some are behind trees so they are hard to see but the few I saw are very nice. They have out houses but we went into town and used a toilet there instead. Maybe a mile. This is right off of the highway. You see it from far away and easy to get to. Worth it.

History Museums
World War II prisoner-of-war camp, known for escape attempts & featured in The Great Escape film.
Plenty of information on the history of Zagan and the Great Escape. They have a small-scale escape tunnel you can crawl through on a little sled. The museum portion is well taken care of and is accommodating of English speakers. Very clean WCs. The old camp portion is a neat place to explore, just watch your step as there are a lot of building ruins and uneven ground. The tunnel locations are marked on the ground. Harry is the easiest to find, but you can also find other ruins if you explore. Bring cash for entry.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to go to the real great escape camp. My pops showed me this movie when I was 13 and I’ve watched it a lot throughout my life. So on my first euro trip I included Poland in it for a few days, rented a car and drove from Wroclaw, about 95 miles. The actual site is about a half a mile away from the museum which is really cool! The woman there didn’t speak English, you’re in zagan so it’s expected, I didn’t have cash, they require cash but she nicely let me in. I spent about two hours at stalag luft 3, there isn’t much there but remains, but it’s beautiful. Can’t believe I finally made it there.

On a picturesque bank holiday, my family and I ventured to Görlitz, eager to immerse ourselves in its enchanting old town, highlighted by the imposing St. Peter's and Paul's church. Dominating the skyline with its majestic twin towers, the church stands as a beacon of the Middle Ages, casting its historical spell over the town. However, our excitement was tempered by disappointment as we discovered the church to be closed. Despite this setback, its exterior beauty alone was enough to leave us in awe, imagining the splendor hidden within its walls. While unable to explore its interior, the church undeniably serves as a captivating centerpiece of Görlitz's rich history. Despite the missed opportunity, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to this architectural gem, a testament to Görlitz's storied past and a must-see for any enthusiast of historical marvels.

From what we could see, the building was indeed beautiful and impressive. Unfortunately we arrived in the middle of a performance on the church organ, and so it was not possible to wander around. We sat through about fifteen minutes of fairly simple tunes, with commentary, after which we got up and left (and although entrance is free, and we hadn't come for the organ performance, there was someone asking for donations at the exit). Outside, we looked at the view (also quite impressive) for a few minutes, then walked round the back of the church. As we did so, we heard some tremendous playing - we thought it was probably a piece by Bach, although we couldn't actually identify it - and stood by a wooden door to listen. We went on a Thursday and arrived at about 12:20. So my advice is - check before you go that there is no event scheduled, and if you do go to an organ performance, stay to the end (but maybe take something to read during the first half hour).

Wonderful park created by Prince Pückler in 1846 with ponds, waterways and bridges. Earth pyramids on land and in the middle of a pond are lovely. A fine castle with sculptures is inspired by Greek, Roman and Oriental mythologies. The castle's interior is splendid. In my opinion more intriguing than Bad Muskau Park.

We drove out early because it was going to be a very hot day (34 C) and we had our dog with us. The inner park is beautiful with incredible trees. They’re all well looked after and the paths go through nice shaded and open areas. You can tell Fürst Pückler loved nature and things dear to him. Where else would you find a grave for his dog, his favourite Arabian horse and a pyramid for his wife. It’s certainly worth while coming here also during the other seasons to see the colours of the trees. The mansion costs 9€ entrance fee and has a big collection of paintings and a beautiful library. There are 3 places where you can take a break. We had lunch at the „Kavalier“ and ended the tour at the cafe „Der Kleine Kavalier“, where we also got water for the dog (don‘t worry, we had enough water for him with us)

Branitz Park is the perfect escape in Cottbus — a peaceful, green space where you can sit quietly, enjoy nature, and let your mind relax. It’s great for a picnic, cycling, or a run with friends. The atmosphere is calm and soothing, making it ideal for meditation in the fresh air. I especially love visiting on a sunny morning or during the golden hour in the evening — the light makes everything feel magical. Whether you want to be active or just unwind, this park is a true gem in the city. 🌳☀️

It says we can't ride a cycle at the entrance. But it's more when cycling I guess. It's calm, beautiful and people who love to have these food dates in nature must visit. Nothing is available to buy though, bring everything with you and keep the premises clean.

SaarowTherme

Thermal baths
Tours
Sprawling health center with thermal pools, saunas & steam baths, plus a salt room & spa treatments.
My Buddy and I had a fantastic time here. We spend over 10 hours here. The Sauna options are awesome. So many great choices. Everybody is friendly. A very relaxed and chilled place to enjoy a day of relaxation. They have Hefeweizen on Tap which is really great. The Food in the Restaurant was awesome. We had lunch and later dinner there. I can't saying anything negative about the food or service. We mainly chilled on the rooftop patio. Sunday is a great time to come, no many people around. The pools are fun too. Loved the floating quite pool. We had such a great time we will be back. Can't wait. Thanks for letting us enjoy the facilities to the end. We where some of the last to leave. Thanks for your patience. The employees make the place special. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Huh somewhere between 3 and 4 tbh, but somehow more for three. So in consideration of price, and comparing price this price with vabali I would say that this spa fails the most. 6h with saunas and therme included is smth like 95 euros and ok its fine but I would for this price expect few basic things: - there is no shower gel.. - really limited and hidden places for taking water even in new buildings there is no place for drinkable water - towels not provided - because of location I would expect that's cheaper And then few things that I would expect for this money: - Ordering in a restaurant is like you need to go to the place order food and then they will bring it to you, it's kind of a half self service - would expect a lot of more sun beds it's almost impossible to find one that's free and many of them are just covered with someone's towel. - just found at the end that it's forbidden to take pictures, I don't have an issue with not taking pictures but it's really not so obvious Positive things: - really nice big pools, salty water, sound pool - Thai restaurants have really good food - new building panorama sauna and last floor terrace is awesome Overall, most of sauna's are really small so for sauna part if you want to visit there is much better sauna focus spa and it's in the center of Berlin. But for pools, I would definitely choose this one over the Vabali.

The worst possible experience to come all the way from Berlin to Bad Saarow Therme with the family to experience that this place solely dedicated to senior citizens/adults on Fridays and Saturdays. Children-free days are Friday and Saturday. What a “family-friendly” approach :( Terrible! BIG NOT thank you to the management of this place for ruining my son’s weekend! :(

I've been to better spas..... My wife and I went here last night because we received a gift certificate for our wedding. We spent a little over 6 hours in the pool and sauna. Unfortunately, we didn't like it that much. While the saunas themselves are great, our favorite was the panoramic sauna overlooking the lake, everything else is tiny and feels cramped. The large saltwater pool is nice, but not as relaxing. And again, the space between the pools and the beds is very small and hard to walk around. A big positive surprise was the restaurant. We had the edamame, gyoza, mangu curry with shrimp and bun bo nam bo. It was delicious. Probably one of the best Thai meals I've had west of Phuket. Unfortunately, the evening ended on a sour note as the parking garage is also - surprise, surprise - super cramped and I scratched the rims of our car going down the super narrow ramp. To sum up: we've been here, but we prefer the SpreewaldTherme in Burg or the VaBali Spa in Berlin.

Lovely place to go. The saunas have really nice view to the park! I wished that they had a proper restaurant with more options in the afternoon.

This spa is about 1 hour by train from Berlin then around 20 minutes by bus. Ideally you should spend at least 3 hours to really enjoy it. It offers jacuzzi, swimming pools and sauna. I loved the jacuzzi and the lavender sauna along with many cold and hot showers. Daily pass cost Euro 27 and 10 extra for sauna. Unfortunately, the food is very limited and the sitting is just wooden benches with ants crawling all over the tables. Obsulatly disgusting! There is a nice park overlooking a lake next to it , it's worth a visit.

This is one of the most relaxing and clean public thermal and spa places I've seen. It's affordable, you can reach it by train and public transport in less than an hour and half from Berlin. They have different kinds of pools inside and outside. I would like to give a plus point for the pool with underwater music and its relaxing atmosphere. I heard its textile-free for adults on Saturday. Make a phone call and reassure it before you head on to this beautiful oasis.

Super cool feelings during the winter time! There are lots of pool to chill inside and one of them in outside which is the coolest one! For 3 hours cost is 17 euro around, I paid in January 2020. They give a bracelet for entrance and locker to put your stuff safely. Only one thing was really annoying if you go there really busy time, after bathing when you’re exiting from the place you need to wait in the line to give your bracelet and for payment! It’s horrible system which I saw first time in my entirely life! Why they’re not taking money at the entrance and putting a box to want us to put bracelets... I didn’t expect from Germany sorry but disappointed.

Freilandmuseum Lehde

Open air museum
Museums
History Museums
Open-air museum detailing 19th century farm & village life, with guides in period clothing.
Great open air museum. We got a small activity workbook to work through with our child, which meant that it was the first time we could spend a good amount of time there. Just be careful getting to the village by car. Parking is limited.

Today we visited this Museum. It was really interesting. It’s not too big, but the last bit is currently shut as they are renewing a few things. There are some things for children to do. Stories are told in some of the houses. There are toilets inside, if needed.

A bit too small for the entry fee but as a student you get 1,50€ discount on regular 5,00 €. Even in the small venue, it shows the culture and lifestyle of then isolated community of Spreewald. You can even try some of the old wooden shoes and try washing clothes in the old north sorbic way. You can listen to how the language of the area used to be. I was excited to see, how the women used to cover their head and hairs some 50-60 years ago in western countries, and why the generations of same culture take the same thing from other cultures as questionable after just 50/60 years.

6 euro per adult, free for kids below 16. Parking is a bit expensive at 7 euro. Nice museum and kids friendly, but small, tops 1 h. Beautiful surroundings and definitely recommend a stop at the nearby biergarten. Beautiful walks and nice with canoes too. Cash only!

The staff here do an excellent job of making the museum come to life - especially for children. Well maintained.

Interesting Museum in a beautiful village. This place is wonderful place I've ever visited in Germany, combination of nature and unique village is like n Fairytale. Recommended place to visit with family or small group. Take a boat trip from Lübbenau to Lehde to get more Fun.

Nice but small museum with a few houses showing the history of this area. Entrance is fair but parking in the area is expensive. Also, don’t come for the harbour or river trips - simply too touristy and crowded. Go elsewhere for that.

Really nice place. Plenty of information to get from the German lifestyle around 200 years ago.

Zoologischer Garten Eberswalde

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Animal park with species from 5 continents, plus a petting zoo, playground & conservation program.
Lovely quaint zoo where we were up, close and personal with the animals without feeling like we were invading their space. We stayed after closing and let ourselves out. I found this great especially after driving an hour to get there. Special touch were the Ring tailed Lemurs that were allowed to roam the premises and escorted us to the gate. It was a magical experience for my two kids, my wife and I. Also, we appreciate that we were allowed to bring our dog with us who remained on a short leash and was very intrigued by the animals we had close contact with.

A nice zoo with lots of areas retained in a quasi-natural state. The wolves' enclosure, in disappointing contrast, had way too much concrete. The canteen was all meat and Wurst, the only vegetarian option being French Fries. Still, it was a half-day well spent.

This is a lovely zoo, especially if you like big cats. We were able to admire a tiger, cheetahs, lions, jaguar and serval, not to mention several species of monkey, a colony of penguins, a bison with a baby, and some seriously underrated domestic cattle 😁 We entered on a family ticket for 25 euros (2 adults and 2 children over 4yo), which I think was a very fair price.

We had the best time! My kids were here with Oma and Opa as little ones! So they went on all the things as before! For the smaller kids the playgrounds are really great! Nice variety of animals to see! Nice amount of trees for shade and rain coverage!
Amy W — Google review
Great place to visit. The majority of Animals are big cats and birds. You can see lions, cheetah, tiger, penguins, eagles, monkeys. You can approach animals really close, and even touch them. They are taken care of and conditions are good. I visited the zoo in Wednesday in the morning and there were no other people around. There are many free parking places, toilets and souvenir shop.

I've met different animals which I saw only on TV. Like the squirrel monkey, that big ostriches and 🐧 penguins . There's also a playground for kids too to enjoy the tour

We love this little place. Lots of playgrounds. Beware some animals roam free, like little monkeys! One star iff, because not enough service ppl for food station, also the lady did an amazing job juggling serving, refilling and billing!

Nice little zoo, lot of animals, lots of playgrounds for children, clean and friendly. Some parts are left as natural forest. Restaurant has no vegetarian options, which is a pity.
