My weekend trip to Keukenhof, even though it was already around May and well into the season, proved that the garden's legendary status is entirely justified. The experience was undeniably busy perhaps the most crowded garden I've ever visited yet, despite the overwhelming number of people, the atmosphere remained incredibly charming. Let's address the central challenge first: the photography. If you’re looking for a peaceful, solitary moment to capture the flowers, a peak weekend visit in May is probably not the time. The sheer volume of visitors meant I couldn't really calmly make pics because tourists were everywhere. Every single angle, from the close-ups of the magnificent tulips to the grand sweeping vistas, had people waiting. This is a vital piece of advice for any future visitor: you should definitely be prepared to waiting to make pics wherever a charming tulip area was located. Patience is absolutely key to getting the shots you want, as moving quickly is simply not an option. What saved the experience, and made it genuinely worthwhile, was the impeccable state of the grounds. To say the garden seems good take care of is a massive understatement. Furthermore, despite having a lot of human traffic concentrated in a relatively small area, the air was still fresh. It’s a testament to the open layout and the surrounding nature that the park never felt stifling or oppressive, even at peak busy times. Even the logistics, which usually break down under such intense visitor pressure, held up relatively well. The toilet facilities, though always full and requiring a little bit of a queue, were quite clean and well maintained. Overall, Keukenhof is a floral spectacle that simply must be seen to be believed. While you must embrace the crowds and be prepared to waiting to make pics, the payoff is worth it. It is still charming even when shared with thousands of others.

Anyone interested in Van Gogh’s life and work should attend this museum. I highly recommend purchasing the audio tour, as it gives an immersive experience to all of his most famous works and highlights of his personal life. The museum is not short or long. Easy to follow and grasp. I recommend to purchase tickets in advance! One of the best art experiences in Amsterdam.

The Rijksmuseum is truly massive — a treasure trove filled with everything from exquisite porcelain and jewelry to world-class paintings and sculptures. The highlight, of course, is the stunning collection of works by masters like Rembrandt and Van Gogh. The audio guide (or even better, the museum app) is worth getting, as it helps bring the art to life and makes it easier to navigate the maze-like halls. The museum’s grand corridors and detailed exhibits make it easy to lose track of time — and sometimes your way. There’s also a nice gift shop and a restaurant on-site, though both can get quite crowded, especially during peak hours.

You need to buy tickets online in advance! They go on sale 6 weeks prior to your date of entry on Tuesdays. I forget the time but for US purchase, I had to get up at 3 am and they sold out pretty fast. It's worth it! You get timed entry so be there on time! It's a really nice facility. You enter from the street side and can use toilets before going into the museum. You'll get an audio tour in your language but in 2025 it did not talk while in the secret annex so learn about the rooms before you visit to maximize to your experience! Be sure to go see the house from the canal side too as that is the famous side! There is a small plaque on the house that says "Anne Frank Haus" or something really similar to that! Go, being in the rooms makes you appreciate that 8 people spent 22 months living in that space and helps you understand their plight with new eyes. No pictures or video allowed. Also they have some of Anne Franks writings on display after you leave the secret annex.

Such a fun park! We were a couple with 4 kids, ages 4 to 16, and we had a great time. We arrived right when the park opened — the parking lot was already quite full — and we stayed until the very end. We managed to experience everything, some rides even more than once. In my opinion, there’s no real need for two days, unless you want to take it slow and relaxed. There are plenty of attractions for both younger and older kids. Of course, there are more exciting rides for kids over 120 cm, and those usually have slightly longer lines. The longest we waited was about 40 minutes, which is quite reasonable for a summer day — some rides had no line at all. The rides are really well-designed and a lot of fun. The whole park is well-organized, with great atmosphere and music all around. There are also shows throughout the park, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for them. We randomly came across one horse show that was beautiful and impressive. At the end of the day, there’s a fountain and water show with music and lights — a great way to finish. We left exhausted but happy — totally worth it!

Fantastic canal tour. We rented the small boat for 4 people, and we saw beautiful scenery while sailing through the Utrecht city canals. Very recommended and worth the price, which was not a lot.

Walking into Dominicanen feels like entering a literary sanctuary. The moment you step inside this former church, you're struck by the incredible atmosphere - centuries-old stone walls, soaring Gothic arches, and thousands of books creating the most inspiring environment for book lovers. I spent hours here just wandering through the different sections, each level offering new perspectives of this architectural marvel. The café is perfect for settling in with a new purchase and soaking in the unique ambiance. What impressed me most was how they've managed to create a fully functional modern bookstore while maintaining the sacred, contemplative feeling of the original space. The staff clearly takes pride in this special place. Whether you buy anything or not, this bookstore offers an experience unlike anywhere else in the world. Pure magic for anyone who loves books, history, or beautiful spaces.

Visited here Sunday afternoon. If you want to go shopping on Sunday and you are near this area, this is the place to do it. First, parking is €7 per visit. Not a bad deal if you are shopping multiple hours here. They have covered parking garage as well. Plenty of parking including EV charging available during my visit. The shops located here are superb. They have high end luxury brands as well as other well known brands offering decent discount price. Some perks: they have many places to eat, shaded places to sit down to rest, and the visitor’s center has a free water station so you can drink water for free. And washrooms are clean and free to use also. We spent about three hours total knowing which stores to visit/shop and the experience was simply fantastic. We also ate at a couple of places and the price was more on the expensive side (due to the exclusive location) while food tasted quite good. The layout of the shopping center is nicely done and “fun”, navigating around is definitely easy. And you can tell the entire place is well maintained and clean. The Sunday crowd seemed to be increasing in the afternoon, so I would think coming here early is a good idea.

Absolutely gorgeous. Smaller than cathedrals in other areas but the mosaic ceiling is magnificent. Walks and floor are marble or a similar rock, entire place is beautiful, and the story of how it was built is fun to hear!

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

The museum was amazing. I went there with a friend, and you start with an interesting information room about where cacao actually comes from and how it is harvested. When you enter, you’re also offered a few pieces of chocolate, which taste amazing. After that, you go to an actual factory where they produce fresh chocolate, and you can get a small piece to try. It tasted amazing and smelled wonderful. You can also buy freshly made chocolate there. At the end, upstairs, there is a nice showroom with interesting displays of old chocolate packaging. When exiting, there is a small shop where you can buy chocolate as well. In conclusion, it was an amazing experience and I would recommend it to everyone.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Schnoor in Bremen, and I must say, it was one of the most charming experiences I've had in a long time. This historic neighborhood is a must-see for anyone traveling to Bremen. The narrow, cobblestone streets are lined with beautifully preserved 16th-century houses, each one telling a story of the past. The atmosphere is enchanting, with quaint shops, cafes, and restaurants tucked away in every corner. I loved getting lost in the winding streets, discovering hidden gems, and admiring the intricate architecture. The Schnoor is a true gem of Bremen, and I felt like I had stepped back in time. Whether you're a history buff, a foodie, or just looking for a unique experience, the Schnoor is a must-visit destination. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the authentic side of Bremen. *Tips:* - Take your time to wander the streets and discover the hidden gems. - Visit the local shops and cafes to get a feel for the community. - Don't miss the stunning architecture and historic landmarks. *Overall:* The Schnoor in Bremen is a truly unforgettable experience that will leave you with lasting memories. I fell in love with its charm and character, and I'm sure you will too!

I took a boat tour of the Port of Hamburg and it was a fascinating experience. I saw giant cargo ships, observed the loading and unloading operations. Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in seeing the Port of Hamburg up close.

Absolutely amazing experience. One can spend hours here. Of course Kids gonna love it but I I found mostly adults on that day cherishing entire replica of famous cities with excruciating details as a miniature world. One can see and admire all that work gone into planning an execution of this world over the years. One of its kind experience not to be missed. The entry ticket is 20 euros but definitely worth it.

Leipzig Zoo is hands down the best zoo I’ve ever been to – just go! The area is massive and beautifully designed, with tons of space to explore. The animals are surprisingly close, and there’s an amazing variety – I saw species I’d never even heard of before. There are plenty of spots to grab food or a drink along the way, which makes the whole visit super chill. The highlight for me was the tropical hall *Gondwanaland* – a huge indoor rainforest with its own climate. It’s seriously impressive and makes the whole experience feel really unique.

A really good trip out around the local area and then to the palace. Its small but impeccably designed with a lot of fine detail. As this was more of a retreat for the king its less grand in scale than other palaces but I really enjoyed visiting it and learning the history.

One of the best I have been to. With the audio guide and information boards you can really get a feel of what was happening here over the 30 to 60 time period

If you do one thing In Berlin, it should definitely be this place! The views are incredible and the architecture of the dome is amazing. I am afraid of heights and I certainly didn’t expect to love it so much, not even a wobble! It strangely feels so safe. Incredible! It’s free to visit but Make sure you book on their website to visit the earlier the better! As we did and you should hear back very quickly. There is security to go through and the lift to the top is not all glass.

It's the most iconic landmark of Berlin and probably the whole of Germany. A great place to stand and think about all the history that has taken place there, and as such it's a popular and lively place to be, especially in the evenings. I visited twice, once in the evening (lady singing protest songs, guys making bubbles for little people to pop, loads of families out and people taking photos) and once at 7am on Sunday morning (I was literally the only person there as the sun was rising); you choose which vibe suits you best!

Walking through the rows of concrete blocks creates a strange and unsettling feeling that stays with you. It’s a space that invites silence and reflection. There are no signs or explanations in the field itself, which makes the experience even more personal. I also recommend visiting the underground information center to better understand the history. A must-see for anyone who wants to connect with the past in a meaningful way.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love this place! 🥹 It was a one-time visit but so enriching and unforgettable. Walking inside felt like traveling back in time The Ishtar Gate was absolutely breathtaking 💙 and seeing the stone with Hammurabi’s laws ⚖️ gave me chills. And then the Roman Market Gate left me speechless. The size, the details, the feeling of standing in front of such a masterpiece… it was beyond words. Everything is displayed beautifully, it feels like a smooth journey through civilizations. Honestly, it’s not just “old things,” it’s history talking to you ✨ Highly recommend it if you’re in Berlin 🙌

The building is still under construction 🚧 and the garden also. But it’s still beautiful, they allowed tourists to go inside the garden for free and walking up to the fortress area to see the view on both sides of the castle and city. The beautiful historical arts and history is worth to visit, very close to the Opera House too.

This church is majestic and feels like a center piece of the city. The surrounding area with the church makes this place very picturesque. There is a called rubble from the past that is kept next to the church which is a nice little touch. This is definitely a must visit site in Dresden

Absolutely worth a visit! Tickets include an interactive online audio guide that not only tells you where to go but also shows key highlights on the screen. The range of available languages is impressive. The castle exhibition is massive, and the grounds are beautifully maintained. The whole tour takes about an hour. I recommend it more!"

Between Cranz (Russia) and Smiltynė (Lithuania) stretches over 98 km one of the most special nature reserves in Europe: the Curonian Spit. A spit is a long sand spit that (partially) blocks off a part of the sea, in this case the Curonian Lagoon is blocked off from the Baltic Sea. The Curonian Spit was formed in the 5th millennium BC, the narrow sand spit, the width varies from 380m to 3800 m, is mainly covered with pine trees. The area is a popular tourist destination, especially during the summer months, attractions include the artists' village of Nida, the Witches' Hill in Juodkrantė and the two dune areas. In order to protect nature, the Curonian Spit National Park was established in 1991. In 2000, the entire spit became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and rightly so, because the Curonian Spit is definitely worth a trip!
