Sainte-Cecile Cathedral of Albi

Mentioned on

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Sainte-Cecile Cathedral of Albi is a stunning Gothic cathedral dating back to the 13th century, featuring a towering 78-meter-high bell tower and housing remarkable frescoes and painted chapels. Situated on the picturesque banks of the river Tarn in southern France, Albi boasts a rich architectural heritage characterized by the distinctive Languedoc style, with its prominent use of red brick and tiles.
Absolutely gorgeous inside and being built of bricks it’s beautiful and so different outside. Well worth a visit which is free for most areas with a small fee to see the vaults. The ceilings and frescoes are a sight to behold
Marie P — Google review
This is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the southern French gothic style I have ever visited. The outside is very imposing but the inside is crammed with beautiful artwork. It’s said that it is the largest building constructed out of bricks. Close to the building is a beautiful garden and the Toulouse-Lautrec museum.
Alex W — Google review
What can you say about this most imposing yet beautiful of cathedrals? The plain Tolosian pink brick exterior - built as a fortress to intimidate the Cathar supporters - belies the intricate beauty inside where every surface is decorated to a point that you have to just sit down to try and take it all in. And that is what you can do - it is free to enter the eastern half of the cathedral. The western half - similarly decorated but less busy, and one for the fans of impressive sculptures of the time, is a small fee, and also contains the treasures on an upper floor. Not necessary to enjoy the cathedral, but if you like completeness. The choir is stunning though, and reminiscent of York Minster, but taken up a notch. The only hint of this on the outside is the main entrance, whose portico feels like a mini cathedral in itself. If Notre Dame had fallen down before Victor Hugo built it up again, then Quasimodo would have felt very at home here, at least the Disney version anyway… Finally, we have to mention the organ - one of the biggest in France and uniquely decorated with the queues for Heaven and Hell. Very Dutch in form, and something to marvel at. I’m a big fan of European cathedrals, and Albi is in my top three. Not to be missed, if you are at least within 100km of it. The authentic winding streets and high views over the river as you make your way there add to the visual drama.
Gordon D — Google review
Truly magnificent and spectacular church with incredible art and massive fort like structure on the outside that bellies the intricate details artful details on the inside. I didn't pay to see the other half of it but didn't think it was necessary to get a great experience. Must visit if you are around Toulouse.
RV — Google review
Free entry to the impressive Sainte-Cécile Cathedral, the largest brick cathedral in the world, has the feel of a fortress. • 113m long, 35m wide and 30m under the vault •  a 78m high bell tower completed in 1480. • 1282/1493: it took 200 years to build It is also the largest fully painted cathedral in Europe, with 18,500 m² of frescoes and decorations.
Marc S — Google review
The almost complete painting of this large Gothic building is unique, magnificent, and impressive. A must-see, and not just for art historians. And very easy to visit: there's a large parking lot below the hill, and admission is free. Sit in the choir stalls and stay for a while.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Gouffre de Padirac, discovered in 1889, is a spectacular cave network featuring some of France's most magnificent underground caverns. Visitors can explore the navigable river located 103 meters below ground level, accessed through a 75-meter-deep and 33-meter-wide chasm.
With a recommendation from family, we couldn't turn this one down..tickets booked in advance (a must) we arrived on our motorbike (parking available for bikes was great) Make sure you pay a visit (toilet) before embarking on an amazing journey. Audio headphones are supplied and are automatic with a voice you can listen to. Stairs and lift available (your choice) We had an amazing time and not once was it claustrophobic! Enjoy if you are in the area.
Jo C — Google review
Simply fantastic! Easy to park (no charge), very easy to purchase tickets at a machine, queue short and undercover, audio guide straightforward and lifts if you want them. And as for the cave network - just amazing. You see so much and then into the boats - very atmospheric and onto yet more stunning sights. You will not be disappointed! We visited mid-September and no need to book ahead but certainly would for July and August. Highly recommend!
Suzanne P — Google review
Great experience. Very well organised and very informative. Lots of steps but there is the option of a lift. Boat ride along the underground stream is great. Wear a raincoat as there is some dripping water although a lot of effort has been made to minimise this.
Trehane J — Google review
Had been waiting to go here for a while and so glad I did. It's a bit of a windy drive to get there, and parking is pretty chaotic, but it's definitely worth the effort. A whole underground world awaits you: A giant chasm; a lovely boat trip along a subterranean river; waterfalls, lakes, enormous stalactites; and a section that opens up to reveal a chamber with a 90m high ceiling. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the infrastructure is exceptional there. Tips: Book tickets in advance. We went on a cold, rainy day in October and were surprised to see how busy it was. Parking is free, but a bit of a hunt was necessary. It's a steady 13 degrees in there, so warm, waterproof clothing & shoes required. Also, use the toilets before you enter as there are none in there! Have fun!
M A — Google review
Simply magnificent. The caves are very beautiful with many fantastic photo opportunities. Buy your tickets in advance so that you won't be disappointed. Free parking is available but limited but the paid parking lot is inexpensive.
Craig M — Google review
An absolute must-visit attraction if you are in the Dordogne region. It was an hour and a half of pure fun and adventure that was well worth the price. The way this attraction is structured is very well-organized and I appreciate how accessible it is for all kinds of people. The cave formations are stunning and grand and must be seen to believe. I was not expecting the sheer scale of this cave and was blown away. Furthermore, the staff were great and my boat guide in particular was very friendly and willing to answer any questions I had about the cave. Highly, highly recommend visiting this place.
Jessica — Google review
Incredible. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit particularly the boat ride even deeper into the cave. This place is vast and totally mind blowing!!! A lot of steps (but there is a lift if you need it).
Janice F — Google review
Fantastic place to visit and see ancient history/geography in a brilliant setting.. lifts and stairs to lower caves but don't get stuck behind people who are incapacitated and should be using the lift other wise add another ½hour or more onto your journey.. staff very friendly and have the organizing down to a T..

VISITER LE VIEUX LYON & SES TRABOULES

The sightseeing tour agency Visiter le Vieux Lyon et ses traboules is a great way to get lost in the medieval town of Lyon and explore its secret passages. The winding alleyways are perfect for Silk Merchants, as they made it easy to move about for 90000 workers. They're like a maze, amazing, mysterious and too dark to live in; Suitable for visiting by candlelight only!

(Translated by Google) I don't have enough words to describe this neighborhood (where I live) and its traboules. You can get lost for days without difficulty. We talk about the history of the city but also the great History of France. To be done obligatory. (Original) Je n’ai pas assez de mots pour décrire ce quartier (ou je vis) et ses traboules.

(Translated by Google) Very pretty districts of Lyon, Saint Jean of course with the square, the Cathedral, the pedestrian streets, the traboules to discover, the restaurants and shops. The funicular to go up to Fourvière and the Basilica, magnificent view of Lyon and its surroundings, then possibly go back down on foot. And don't forget the Saint Georges district, less touristy, but which also has its charm. (Original) Très jolis quartiers de Lyon , Saint Jean bien sûr avec la place, la Cathédrale, les rues piétonnes, les traboules à découvrir, les restaurants et boutiques . Le funiculaire pour monter à Fourvière et la Basilique, magnifique vue de Lyon et ses environs, puis redescendre éventuellement à pied . Et ne pas oublier le quartier Saint Georges ,moins touristique, mais qui a aussi son charme.
J T — Google review
(Translated by Google) A pleasant tour of the traboules, but difficult to access for people with reduced mobility who want to visit alone. A companion is required to push open the heavy doors. This is despite the ones indicated by the Lyon Tourist Office. Not all of them are left open. (Original) Sympathique visite des traboules mais difficilement accessibles aux PMR qui voudraient faire la visite seul. Accompagnant obligatoire pour pousser les lourdes portes. Et malgré celles indiquées par l'Office de tourisme de Lyon. Elles ne sont pas toutes laissées ouvertes.

Chocolatier Sève is a renowned market offering an array of gourmet delights such as cheeses, cured meats, and exquisite desserts. The founders have garnered numerous accolades for their commitment to traditional craftsmanship and the creation of delectable treats. With over 30 years of experience, this establishment continues to impress with its sumptuous creations available at multiple locations in Lyon.
We had to try a “Tarte À La Praline” during our short stay in Lyon and it was excellent. Very tasty crust. A must try. Service was quite slow as there was only 1 person assisting customers which was not her fault and she did her best to help everyone.

The service was excellent, but unfortunately, the chocolates were too sweet for my taste.
April W — Google review
In my quest to find the best macaron in Lyon I systematically tried a macaron at each shop in the food hall. Sève’s were by far the best, with my favourites being 1) Caramel 2) Coconut 3) Coffee. I must’ve gone back 3-4 times in one day. They are quite expensive, which meant I could only afford to try 8, but this is reflected in the quality. The staff were lovely and very accommodating of my terrible French. Merci!

The pastries are so pretty, it feels almost guilty to eat them. Nonetheless, I ate them. I ordered the chocolate mousse one and I was thinking of getting more but it's so rich that I was very full at the end. I'd like to go back and more of the pastries. There were dozens and dozens!

This is a nice indoor market. It has quite different atmosphere to la boqueria market in Barcelona. Both of them are great place to see and eat. But, this market has unique features like quiet and less crowded. Local fruits, cured meat , and seafood were excellent. My wife and I enjoyed cured meat and varieties of seafood, oysters, sea urchins, shrimps, and clams. They know how to sell and packages cured meat. One of stores used a vacuum sealed package for cured meat. We felt safe to carry them. All of staffs were friendly and kind. One of members even made a luxury restaurant reservation for us. I think that they know good local restaurants because they are the food suppliers.

Bird Park Villars les Dombes is a paradise for bird lovers, featuring a vast collection of birds, including rare species. The park offers demonstrations and preservation programs, making it an excellent destination for families and nature enthusiasts. Visitors can enjoy observing various water birds such as storks, herons, and egrets in the region's network of rainwater pools dating back to the 13th century.
Excellent day at the bird park. I was there for the second time and all the family found some interesting things to do including kids. The new area dedicated to Africa is really well presented. Another good point is that there are a lot of places to make a picnic and playgrounds for children. I also recommend the observation tower to have a good overview of the park. Finally, the bird show in the afternoon is a must see.

Maarten V — Google review
Generally a beautiful park, very green and nicely designed when it comes down to aesthetics and topics. Parking was easy and well managed. Loads of staff trying to fill the parking lot in a way that makes sense, friendly and clear in their expressions. As with any park, there is a lot of walking involved and especially for small kids you'll need to be prepared to bring a pushchair. The toilets were absolutely yucky. I was only in the men's toilets, but it smells of wee everywhere, you're literally walking in it, the whole floor is covered in it. I know men can be yuk but some of those toilet I really wouldn't be surprised if they haven't been cleaned in a while or are leaking. I have never seen so much dodgy liquid on the floor. It really reeked. Some toilets have massive queues, not just the ladies', also the men's toilets. What surprised me though is, that our friends' daughters tried to get to the ladies and were trying to find a free cubical and three (!!!) ladies were so rude and pushed them out of the way. (which would be another downside, in some toilets you can literally see the cubical doors when you stand on the path). Shops/coffee and food stalls are understaffed. Particularly during high traffic periods. I.e. there was a bird show to begin in the arena and there was a massive (seriously, it was huge) queue trying to get in. There was a food/coffee stall with two windows, only one window was open. One lady was working and the first thing she said was, that she had no coffee as they ran out. When the show ended, the queue at that shop was huge, by then the second shopkeeper didn't make much of a difference. Same with the bbq restaurant we got there just before the lunch storm hit and we already had to wait about 20min to get our order and the queue started just behind the door (so really not long). By the time we finished and walked out, the queue was around the corner alongside the building, who knows how long they had to wait. One till. Having two people using the same cash machine is not really efficient. They'd need at least 3, then the queue started on the pick-up side, because the chicken needed longer cooking times. So all in all not very efficient. Two coffee machines (you get a coin at the till) but one machine had an error message in French (needed maintenance, but was still working), that many people couldn't read nor knew how to get rid of the error message. So people started queue on the other coffee machine. A few other food stalls were closed, it was a hot day, I think about 34°C. Hardly any shade anywhere. So in order to get some drinks, a couple of grown-ups had to walk through half the park to get something for the rest of the group, as we tried to find shade with the little kids. If you are not planning the visit ahead, try to avoid too sunny days. Bird show was OK. A bit disappointing that they have so much staff in that arena but then decide to just play a boring recording and then let the birds fly. Other parks actually talk about the birds and give facts about the specific birds on display, also are interactive with the crowd. Here you just sit down, a tape plays, trainers let the birds fly over your head, then they sit down in the middle of the arena and all birds walk out like in a circus good-bye. Not impressed. The range of animals is quite impressive. And beautiful birds, that seem to be kept in good conditions and clean. Butterfly house, and there was a penguin/fish area, which unfortunately was shut down and we couldn't find access to the Australian area with the kangaroos which our daughters desperately wanted to see. The only path we could find to go there seemed to be closed with a gate but no further information. It's also advisable to follow a set path. Going to see what interest you may be too chaotic and it's easy to get lost in the park. Also walking everything multiple times is suboptimal. Oh one more thing... to get out of the park: ONE (!!!) turnstile. Why they didn't just open the bloody gate is beyond me. We had to QUEUE (!!!) to leave the park. Ridiculous.

The Hôtel-Dieu Museum, also known as the Hospices de Beaune, is a remarkable medieval hospice turned museum that showcases local art and furnishings from the Middle Ages. Built in the 15th century to aid the poor and sick, this historic monument features stunning varnished tile roofs and serves as a museum of medical history.
The free audio guide really brought all of the amazing history of the Hotel - Dieu to life. Architecturally stunning and historically impressive. We loved every minute of our visit. (The audio guide also has a children's option so don't hesitate to ask!) We reserved our spot easily online and walked right in.

This was definitely the highlight of our visit in Beaune. The building used to be a hospital for poor people and is now very well restored. Entrance fee is Euro 12 - you can book online or pay at the spot. The roof and the building itself are very beautiful but they cannot be seen from outside. You need to purchase a ticket.

Step back in time of old style hospital. Magnificent building with a tiled roof you can see best from inside the large courtyard. Well worth the entry fee. Booklet or headphones self audio tour are included with ticket price.

Working for a Hospice charity, I enjoyed seeing the granddad of Hospices in Beaune. This town was caring for the vulnerable from before my country was even discovered. Amazing tour and worth the ticket price to enter.
James J — Google review
A must have seen in Beaune. Yes the roof is great. But for me the history of the very old hospital and its foundation fascinates me more. You get an audioguide, which I highly recommand. The tour is about 1 to 1,5 hours. A lot old hospital furnitures and equipment. Entrance was 12€, which is ok for such an historic place!

I went on a tour! I thought it was okej, the tour in it self was not that special it was rather being there that was cool. (My gf really liked it tho she thought the tour guide was so good). Con- we where on time but the tour was not which meant we had to wait in the heat when we was there on time. Also i wish the tourguie would say when we can take photos cause sometimes it was lite unclear especially when i see other pepole have taken photos that i wish i could have. But overall it was really good and i am happy we went and I would recommend other to book to. The absolut best was the guy in the stamps both, i was really kind and made it realy memorable for us!

Unfortunately we couldn’t get in. They said only booked tickets could get in. But there is no availability for over a year. There might be something wrong with buying tickets online. Even though, from outside the building looks great. Should go for a walk around even without tickets.

How stupid can they be? Imagine you have a beautiful art deco building, but then you build such an ugly fence that it can hardly be seen anymore. Could that be a typical result of an overrated, overfunded overpaid underbrained stuffy organisation? We had booked a tour a few months before and the process of getting the security passes was terrible. We just got inside one of the ugly 1960s buildings (and the ceiling decorations were nice) and we could at least see the nice historic art deco building from the back. There are renovations going on, but It sure would have been possible to guide us through a few rooms of this immense building, but the bureaucracy wouldn’t care for visitors. High on security, low on everything else.

How does someone rate one of the most important places on the planet. Our guide was incredibly well versed with all goings-on at the UN and spoke more languages than all five of us combined. Be prepared with any questions as your guide will be more than capable of answering them. Book the private tour for an even better experience. Be sure to enter at the Pregny Gate.

Liam D — Google review
The UN was the top of my sons list when we booked our trip to Geneva, so we just had to get tickets to get inside! You have to book a tour to get inside the gates, we booked online roughly 3 weeks before, but it tells you to do it as soon as you can as it books up fast! You get a guided 1hour tour which is OK, but it's honestly worth booking just to get inside the gates, so many brilliant photo opportunities! The buildings and gardens are beautiful! My son was so happy getting his picture with the flags! Our tour guide was lovely, I can't remember his name! He really did try to squeeze as much in as possible in the short time! It's worth it as the tickets are quite cheap!

The Office of Tourism Yvoire is the perfect place to start your journey in this lovely medieval village. With its cobblestone roads, stone and wood houses adorned with beautiful flowers, Yvoire feels like a place out of a fairytale. The car-free zone allows for leisurely strolls among historical buildings, while the charming atmosphere makes it a must-see destination around Leman Lake.
I visited the office after lunch on a Sunday. Google maps suggested it was already closed but I tried my luck anyway. It was open! I went there to inquire about getting stamps to send Yvoire postcards back home. The staff was friendly and kind.

Lausanne Cathedral

Mentioned on

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Lausanne Cathedral, consecrated in 1275, is a stunning Gothic masterpiece that has been an important landmark in Switzerland since medieval times. The exterior of the cathedral is impressive with its ornate painted portal, belfry, and vibrant rose window. Inside, visitors can admire the grand organs, 13th-century choir stalls, and ancient stained glass windows. It also serves as a stop for pilgrims following the Camino de Santiago within Switzerland.
Lausanne Cathedral is absolutely stunning, both day and night. Sitting high in the old city, it feels massive and full of history. We went just before mass, and the atmosphere was so peaceful—plus, the people there were really friendly, which made it even better. The stained-glass windows are incredible, bursting with color when the light hits them. And at night, the whole place glows beautifully, making it just as impressive as during the day. Definitely a place that stays with you!
Maria A — Google review
I highly recommend talking a walk up through the old town to the cathedral. It's free, and a beautiful building with lots to see. You'll also get some great views of Lausanne from the front. If you want even better views you can pay a small fee and climb the bell-tower. This gives you 360 degree views of the city. Absolutely epic on a clear day. It's not for the faint-hearted or those with vertigo. Also not for those with major mobility problems. I use a walking stick due to bone spurs in my ankle and I made it OK. Just had to take it a bit slower.
Rachel B — Google review
Impressive cathedral with wonderful views of the town. A bit of a climb up steps if one takes the wrong route, but in any case well worth a visit. Large, quiet, peaceful, stained glass, statues, carvings, small and unobtrusive gift shop. Not overly commercial, and free to enter, as it should be but in some churches is not. Panoramic views of the town below.
Timothy P — Google review
One of the most impressive landmarks in Lausanne. The Gothic architecture is stunning, especially the stained glass windows that create a magical atmosphere when the sunlight shines through. Located on a hill, the cathedral also offers beautiful views of the city. Climbing the tower stairs can be a bit tiring, but the panoramic view at the top is absolutely worth it. A perfect mix of history, architecture, and scenery

A must-visit gem in Lausanne! This Gothic cathedral, dating back to the 12th century, offers stunning architecture and panoramic views of the city, Lake Geneva, and the Alps. Climbing the belfry is worth the minimal fee for the breathtaking scenery. Inside, the grand organ is a marvel, and the nightly tradition of the watchman announcing the hour adds a unique touch. Don't miss exploring the charming old town surrounding the cathedral. Highly recommended for history and architecture enthusiasts!

In my opinion, Bern's old town is one of the most beautiful and compact in the world. Its specialty is the arcades formed by the old buildings lining the streets. The arcades are lined with shops, restaurants, bars, art galleries, etc. It is worth walking around the old town, also along the banks of the Aare River, and climbing to the Rosengarten to admire the magnificent view of the old town. Every time I visit Bern I feel amazed.

Beautiful and quaint little old town in the capital of Switzerland! I got there early so the streets were rather empty and it was nice taking a slow stroll down this street. The street was lined with familiar brands/shops, the trams ran down both sides and I almost felt like I was transported back to medieval times - except the modern shops bring me back to the present. If you walk further down, you’ll end up at the Bear Pit, another little tourist attraction of Bern.

Located in Gerardmer, this beautiful quiet glacial lake offers stunning views over Vosges mountains🏞🌄. It is located at 660 meters altitude and has a maximum depth of 38 meters and a mean depth of 17m. It's waters are cristal clear, and they are the home of many fish species like carp, roach fish, pike and trout🐟. You have the opportunity to walk/hike around the lake or to rent boats (there are 3 or 4 boat providers and 2 that offer lake tour with bigger boats), to eat icecream or have dinner or lunch on the shores of this lake. Although it is surrounded by mountains and it seems like a place where no water sports can be practiced, it has on it's shores a sports center where teens and children learn different water sports🚣🏄‍♀️. It also has on it's shores an aquatic center with a natural pool and a beach🏖. Visiting in May this wonderful city and region, I am pleasantly surprised and impressed by this beautiful lake. I can't wait to come back do do the lake tour by foot🚶‍♀️, and to hike on the peak of one of the mountains to see the lake view🏞 that i have heard about..

Small but nice lake, enough to spend couple of days of vacation here. Can rent the pedal boat to have a short look around (1 hour 16€).

The lake itself is quite clean, allowed to fish and swim.

Museum
Specialty Museums
The Musée National de l'Automobile, also known as the Cité de l'Automobile or the Mulhouse Car Museum, is a vast complex that houses over 500 classic, prestige, and racing cars. It is considered the largest car museum in the world. The museum showcases the history of automobiles from their inception in the late 19th century to present day.
What a place! Totally didn't expect it to be quite this big or have as many cars and exhibits!! It is well worth the entrance fee and the exhibits are laid out really well. It has around 500 cars and 120 Bugatti's on display! The restaurant is great too and decent value. If you are in the area, visit and spend the afternoon seeing some great cars!

DEFINITELY A MUST if you're in Mulhouse area, east France. The fact that Musée National de l'Automobile has an collection of more than 400+ cars ranging from more than 100 years ago, is amazing itself. Not to mention they have probably the world most complete collection of Bugatti, like almost a hundred of them. And one of them in the Masterpiece area, the 1936 50T Cabriolet, is now the world most expensive vehicle, worth 100M Euro !!! The details of it, and the idea of building a luxury car back to almost 100 years ago, is really highly admired.

One of the best car museums i’ve ever been. It’s really worth every penny you’re paying for it. Tons of great, rare and unique pieces you will find there. Nice location, brilliant realisation. All cars are in good condition, and like in any other real museum, you can smell oil, gasoline and old leather from them. If you have kids or you just unbelievably love cars, you’ll be happy there
Igor G — Google review
Millions of dollars worth of cars, and they couldn’t get a decent translator for the placards? Honestly it became kind of amusing just how bad the English translations were after a while. The cars are stunning, there is no denying that. Arguably the most complete collection of vintage Bugattis in the world (but surprisingly no modern ones - no Chiron, EB110, not even a Veyron? Maybe they’re locked away somewhere else) 1/4 of the cars in the main hall were covered in white drapes due to construction. To the contractors/ museum officials, I say to you: “ plastic sheeting comes in transparent forms”. Overall a vanity project of a (now dead) rich white guy but there’s some stellar automotive and racing history laid out in these rooms. You’re in Mulhouse, you’re likely gonna go.
Greg M — Google review
Quite possibly one of the greatest car collections in the world. The outside is Beautifully presented... Upon entering the building you have no idea of how overwhelming this place can be. As you begin walking around and seeing a few cars you get lulled into it being a normal museum.... But then you walk into the room with a few Bugattis... You keep walking and seeing more Bugattis... Then you realise, one whole side is just Bugattis 🤯 Then you see the Bugatti Royale.. and realise hold on the have two Bugatti Royales 🤯 .. This place is crazy the sheer number of Bugattis and special cars is crazy... Then the story of the Schlumpf brothers ... Simply put, if you are a car lover you must come here... It's epic.. The shock value never diminishes even after multiple trips

One of the best car collections I have seen. From old to new and some extremely rare peices. We spent about 3 hours in here. There were lots of other things inside to keep children entertained too. There was a section all about Tintin which showed the different books and the cars linked to it which was nice. There was a driving simulator, small ride on cars and a vr F1 experience.

Basler Münster

Mentioned on

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Basler Münster, also known as Basel Minster, is a stunning Gothic-style Protestant cathedral with origins dating back to the 9th century. Its red sandstone walls, colorful roof tiles, and twin towers make it an iconic landmark in Basel. The cathedral's construction spanned several centuries and features a mix of Romantic and Gothic styles. Destroyed in an earthquake in 1356, the impressive structure was rebuilt and converted into a Reformed Protestant Church.
Fantastic views from the top of Basel Munster! It costs 6 CHF to go to the top and there is an opportunity to get magnificent views out at different levels as well as a two towers! The cathedral itself is beautiful and I would recommend a walk around before heading up the towers!

Mrs P — Google review
Solo travelers are not allowed to climb the towers, for suicide prevention reasons. You can find another tourist and ask to accompany them, but without the employee seeing this. Don't let them know you are strangers. There's a small fee to climb the towers and it's well worth it. Basel Minster was built between the 11th and 16th centuries in a blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles. After the 1356 earthquake, it was significantly rebuilt incorporating Gothic elements such as pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and large stained-glass windows. The cathedral is made of red sandstone and is notable for its two main towers, St. George’s and St. Martin’s, and its patterned tile roof. The Minster served as the Catholic cathedral until the Reformation in 1529, after which it became a Reformed Protestant church. The Gallus Gate at Basel Minster is the oldest Romanesque figure portal in the German-speaking world, built around 1185. In the tympanum is Christ as Judge of the World, accompanied by Peter and a donor figure, while the lintel below shows the Parable of the Ten Virgins. During the Reformation in Basel (1529), iconoclasm took place at Basel Minster as part of the city’s shift from Catholicism to Protestantism. Religious images, statues, and altars that were seen as idolatrous were removed or destroyed. The interior today remains relatively bare compared to its original medieval design.

Basel Minster is absolutely worth a visit! I’ve climbed several church towers across Switzerland, but this one had the narrowest spire staircase I’ve ever squeezed through! It’s a bit of a tight spiral toward the top, but that only adds to the adventure. Once you reach the viewing platform, you’re rewarded with panoramic views of Basel, the Rhine, and even into France and Germany on a clear day. The cathedral itself is beautifully maintained, with intricate stonework and a peaceful courtyard. It’s a perfect mix of charm, challenge, and postcard-worthy scenery. Don’t miss it!

This place is in a great location, but is very dirty and has broken doors, broken lights, a broken shower. It is a beautiful home on the outside, and is in a great location but it has been very poorly managed and neglected and it is obvious when you stay there. Great if all you care about is the location, but avoid it if you want to have a decent place to stay.

A "Real Eyeopener"! This compact "old town" area of Southeast Colmar is a place "not to be missed" by visitors! It gets its name due to the "historic houses" built on both sides of the small, meandering, Lauch River.... and the "fairy tale vibe". The area is wonderful to walk around-- and has cobbled streets, colourful "half-timbered" houses, and a "covered market". It can also be seen by boat. It has been awarded by TripAdvisor the esteemed "Certificate of Excellence". It is indeed well worth a visit. It is no wonder that it has been rated as one of the "top of places" to visit/things to do, while in Colmar. It will definitely add to one's memories of the visit. I hope that this Review has been helpful.

Lovely time walking around Home Little Venice there's so much more than the picturesque bridge's to see with a few lovely restaurants along the canal, and little boat trip back and forth .

Colmar Old Town

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Vieille Ville, also known as the Old Town of Colmar, is a picturesque and charming area that feels like something out of a fairy tale. The streets are lined with colorful half-timbered houses, creating a storybook-like atmosphere. Visitors can wander through narrow cobblestone streets and explore local cafes, bakeries, and shops offering crafts. St. Martin's Church stands as an impressive architectural marvel in this historic district.
It is an extremely beautiful town. It is better to be called a living museum. The only drawback is the large number of tourists visiting there. Maybe it is better to target a period where tourism is at its lowest level so you can enjoy it more. On weekends you can buy a cheaper family ticket from Strasbourg for Colmar and the whole region

La Montagne des Singes

Temporarily Closed
Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Park
Nestled in the heart of a forest near Kintzheim, La Montagne des Singes is a wildlife park spanning 24 hectares where over 200 Barbary macaques roam freely. Visitors can embark on a guided forest walk to observe these fascinating creatures and learn about their behavior from the knowledgeable staff. The park also features a playground area for children, offering an interactive experience that allows them to simulate being monkeys.
We visited Monkey Mountain today and we had so much fun! The monkeys roam freely throughout the park and get really close to people. You are not supposed to touch them or anything, but they do not seem to mind people being near them. There are many workers in the park, and all of them were very friendly and offered to answer any questions we had about the monkeys. Many of the workers spoke French, English, and German fluently. Killian asked us if we had any questions about the monkeys and explained to us about the different groups of monkeys in the park and even showed us where there was a baby monkey with its mom. We learned a lot about the park and monkeys from him. It was really hot when we were there and many of the monkeys were taking naps or relaxing but they were still visible, active, and fun to watch. We got to see a number of younger monkeys jumping off tree branches into a small pool of water for fun. There were some newborn baby monkeys visible as well. After leaving the monkey area, there were little talks and activities along the path. There was a gift shop and then an adventure playground where my kids spent so much time climbing around. The park also has a Cafe with drinks and snacks. Parking was free and readily available. Overall this was a fun place to visit for people of all ages.

This place was awesome. The monkeys just walk around unbothered, the staff are super friendly and we caught it at a time when there were so many sweet babies to see. Be respectful and follow the rules... Some don't, which is unfortunate. These are wild animals not pets.

This is such a beautiful zoo. The monkeys are all roaming freely around and the staff is very friendly and answers all your questions. I can highly recommend

A very unique experience. The monkeys are uncaged in open areas. It is a very safe atmosphere. There are quite a few staff members monitoring and guiding us through our walk in the park. We are also informed on Do's and Dont's before we enter the park. It was really interesting to see the monkeys up close and they are also well behaved, doing their own thing. Free parking available onsite. There is a cafe/restaurant and a gift shop present here too. The staff are really kind and helpful.

It's a nice activity to do with children. From Selestat train station It's a 10 minute drive. If you don't have a acres, there is a bus (500) that will take you there . The monkeys trail took us around 30 minutes maximum, but outside, there is a cafeteria and a nice picnic area, and a great obstacle trail for kids, and a small playground. Overall our visit was around 3 hours. Beautiful forest. Stroller friendly.

We visited on August 3rd for the “Breakfast with the Monkeys” experience – simply unforgettable! 🐒💫 You get to feed the free-roaming Barbary macaques and watch them playfully explore the forest up close. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and shares lots of fascinating information – you can tell they truly love their work and care for the animals. At the end, you even receive wonderful photos of your visit as a keepsake. The park is well-maintained, natural, and perfect for animal and nature lovers. Highly recommended!

Mont Sainte-Odile is a truly magical and spiritual place in Alsace. Perched high on a mountain, the monastery offers breathtaking views across the Rhine plain, the Black Forest, and even to the Vosges peaks. The site is filled with history and serenity — from the beautiful chapels and peaceful cloisters to the mysterious Pagan Wall that surrounds the mountain. Walking around the grounds, you feel a unique sense of calm and connection, as if time slows down. It’s a perfect blend of nature, culture, and spirituality, making it one of the most unforgettable spots in Alsace. Whether you come for reflection, history, or simply the panoramic scenery, Mont Sainte-Odile leaves a lasting impression on your heart.

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Freiburg Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady, is a stunning example of Gothic architecture located in the heart of Freiburg's old town. The cathedral features a square tower that offers panoramic views of the picturesque Black Forest.
The market was absolutely perfect! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, filled with lively stalls and an amazing variety of products. It was a pleasure just to walk around, surrounded by wonderful scents and the energy of a bustling market. What really stood out to me was the friendliness of the vendors – every interaction was warm and pleasant, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s the kind of place where you can spend hours exploring, tasting, and soaking up the local culture. Truly a must-visit!
Barak W — Google review
A large and very impressive place, with beautiful interior architecture. The main hall is stunning and worth the visit. However, the climb to the top is not particularly special. Once you reach the upper level, you can pay extra to go a bit higher, but it’s unnecessary and not worth the money. The stairs are narrow, making it extremely difficult to pass when people are coming in the opposite direction — the same problem on the way down. You can also see the bell up close, but be aware that the sound is deafening.

Cathedral’s history started being Romanesque church around 1200, transitioned to Gothic structure in 1250s (inspired by nearby Strasbourg cathedral) with West Tower being completed in 1330. While the city was heavily bombed in WW2, cathedral survived with minor damage (likely due to being notable landmark for Allied Bombers).

I became aware of Freiburger Münster on my first day in Freiburg. It's really hard to miss the sight of it. I visited it on my first night when it was lit up. The enormous size of it and amount of decorative detail left me speechless. One day I noticed that the front entrance was open for visitors, so I took the opportunity. I wasn't prepared for the grandure that awaited me inside. The vast volume of the interior left my mouth hanging open many times as I analyzed the columns and ceilings. I spent alot of time studying the stained glass windows which depict many vivid stories. What's great about the windows is that you absolutely can't experience them the same way from outside. The quality of light inside the cathedral, from the outside light when it hits the windows, is only fit for a structure this caliber. Please, out of respect, obey the signs and dont walk over or through the areas which are clearly marked off. Also, please dont take videos and photo's of the inside, just enjoy the experience of the moment.

Europa-Park

Amusement park
Water & Amusement Parks
Theme Parks
Europa-Park, located in the south of Baden-Wurttemberg, is the undisputed number one amusement park in Germany with up to 5.6 million visitors annually. The park's popularity is well-deserved due to its diverse attractions, meticulously designed grounds, and emphasis on maintenance and visitor experience. With over 100,000 reviews on Google alone, Europa-Park nearly achieves a perfect five-star rating.
Really good first experience. The app allow you to store tickets, attempt to get virtual line "shortcut", and the management of the queues is quite well done. The park is really big and adapted to diverse ages and preferences. Each attraction also comes with a unique description do better understand what senses will get a challenge, in case your sensitivity don't allow you to take it. Which make it more inclusive. I didn't get the occasion to test all the coasters but so far it was really excellent and would enjoy coming back during another season. (Came for the Halloween event) Last time I went to an amusement park like this one it was Osaka Universal Studio. The Halloween them was waaaay better with lots of actors and fun representations in the street of the park. Immersive experience. I was expecting the same here, but instead you'll get a very well decorated park. You can find the necessary to eat and drink in the park, but if you are ok a budget, I recommend coming with your own food and drinks. To enter, buy tickets in advance, and come at least 45 min before the official opening of the park.

Yesterday, my family and I visited Europa Park in Rust, Germany, one of the largest and most famous theme parks in Europe. The park is beautifully designed, with different sections representing various European countries, each offering unique rides, attractions, and delicious food options. We were impressed by the variety of cuisines available, allowing us to taste dishes from different cultures all in one place. The park is very well-organized, and the rides were absolutely thrilling well maintained and enjoyable for all ages. However, our experience wasn’t perfect. The biggest issue was the extreme heat and the lack of cooling systems in waiting areas, restaurants, and cafes. Unlike many other major theme parks around the world, Europa Park doesn’t seem to have AC, fans, or shaded cooling spots in queues or dining areas, which made the visit quite uncomfortable, especially under the scorching sun. Another downside was the behavior of some employees. At the Arthur ride, after finishing the attraction, we went to check our ride photos, and the staff member was extremely rude and disrespectful , speaking to us harshly simply because she claimed she couldn’t hear us properly even though we clearly stated our cart number. Later, in the Lindt chocolate shop (Switzerland Section), an employee gave us unwelcoming looks and side-eyes, likely because we wear hijabs. Her attitude made us so uncomfortable that we left without buying anything, despite our initial excitement to get some chocolates. Overall, Europa Park is a fantastic theme park with incredible rides, great food, and a well-structured layout. However, the lack of cooling systems in hot weather and the unprofessional behavior of some staff members really affected our experience. The park should improve guest comfort by adding fans or AC in waiting areas and train employees to be more respectful and inclusive toward visitors from all backgrounds.

First time at Europa Park and it definitely lived up to the hype. The park is huge, super clean and really well organized. My ride ranking: 1. Blue Fire was my absolute favorite. Smooth, fast and so much fun. I rode it twice and would have gone again if I could. 2. Voltron and Silver Star both came in close behind. Voltron’s launch is wild, and Silver Star’s height and airtime make it unforgettable. I also did both of these twice. 3. Wodan looks amazing but is way too loud and rough for my taste. 4. Euro Mir is a cool idea, but it just gives you a headache more than anything. Overall, an awesome park with tons to do and a great atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

Beautiful, with several attractions for kids and adults. We started first attraction before 11:00, allthough official openkng was at 11:00. We also saw the parade of halloween which was nice. Did not have time for the shows as we wanted to do as many attractions as possible. Queue was also not too bad, except for few attractions , all others were below 30 min, some even below 10, we managed to do more then 20! Only Contra the parking places are so small that if you have a big car might be difficult to get out .

It was a very amazing experience in the hallowinter season ! There were many people but it was a public holiday in France so it's normal. The employees are very quick and gentle.

The area's geological history is intertwined with the formation of Lake Titisee, which was left behind as the Feldberg glacier retreated around 10,000 years ago.

Steakhouse Old Town is a rustic destination in the Old Town neighborhood of Zurich, nestled along the Limmat River. The area offers stunning river-facing vantage points and promenades, providing a glimpse into the city's vibrant energy and picturesque sunsets. Exploring this charming locale is an enriching experience, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in Swiss culture, history, and urban life.
Service excellent and very attentive from the moment we walked in. If you like steak you are at the right place. It’s all cooked on the stone. We had the Swiss Sirloin which was very tender Recommended
Bruce M — Google review
Like many other reviews of this place - great steak, poor service. We arrived towards the closing of this restaurant around 10:45pm but were welcomed in after the waiter checked the time. This changed quickly however when we ordered - the staff hurried us out the restaurant by packing up every single table around us, moving our items off of an adjacent table to close up, and even asking to give us our bill rather than the other way round. Did not feel like well looked-after customers when many other bars and restaurants in the same street were full of patrons at this time and not rushing them at all. The steak and quality of food was brilliant, but the service needs a lot of improvement else would not return again.
Ruby B — Google review
We visited Steak House Old Town without ordering any beef, and overall, the experience was just average. Chicken Breast: Unfortunately, this was a letdown. It was quite dry and tough to chew, lacking the tenderness you'd expect. Grilled Salmon: Decent, but nothing memorable. It was cooked fine, though not particularly flavorful. Duck: Also just okay. It didn’t stand out, but it wasn’t bad either. Sides: The sides were the highlight of the meal. The potato with sour cream was excellent—creamy and well-seasoned. The spinach was fresh and tasty, and the fried sweet potato was crispy and satisfying. Soup: We tried the coconut soup. It was rich and creamy, but the coconut flavor was overpowering, making it a bit too intense for our taste. Service was fine, and the ambiance was cozy, but based on the dishes we tried, we wouldn’t rush back. Perhaps the beef options are better, given it's a steakhouse.

Best steak I've ever had! While walking along the street In Zurich to find somewhere for dinner we happened upon this restaurant where we could smell the mouthwatering steak before seeing it. A quaint little restaurant with a lovely outside seating area where you cook your steak on a hot stone.. having been on a train all day from Vienna we were ravenous so decided to go for the Tomahawk for 2 and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The most amazing juicy steak we have ever had!!! And even though the steak by itself was more than enough for 2 people.. the complimentary sides of veg and rosemary potatoes were incredible! Even though the food was sensational the service outshone it, never once did our glasses get slightly empty and the staff were incredible and so helpful with any questions asked about Zurich in general! Could not recommend this place more! Definitely worth a visit!!

The Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-Strasbourg is a stunning Gothic edifice that dates back to the 1200s and features a remarkable 16th-century astronomical clock and a beautiful rose window. Its iconic 142-meter spire can be seen towering over the city's rooftops, making it an unmissable landmark.
I visited the cathedral on a schools trip and it was amazing. The fog on that day made the spire disappear into the clouds which was very cool. The inside was also beautiful, and the large clock was meant to have an animated show happen at 2:00 but it was a little disappointing, with the bell just ringing twice, and that was it. But everything else was spectacular. 👍

The Strasbourg Cathedral is an absolute masterpiece of Gothic architecture and one of the most stunning landmarks in Europe. Its intricate stone façade, towering spire, and detailed sculptures leave you in awe from the moment you see it. Inside, the soaring nave, beautiful stained-glass windows, and the famous astronomical clock are simply breathtaking. You can climb to the top for a panoramic view of Strasbourg and the surrounding Alsace region — the climb is worth it, though there are sometimes long queues, especially on weekends and holidays. The cathedral is surrounded by charming squares and streets, making it a perfect spot to explore, take photos, and enjoy the city’s historic atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone in Strasbourg — whether you’re a history buff, architecture lover, or just looking for a spectacular view!

On a foggy morning in November we o pop aid a visit to the Notre Dame Cathedral in Strasbourg. We missed the morning opening time so we made sure we were standing in line for the afternoon opening hours. The queue, although long, moved quickly, and once inside we could see all of the stained glass windows and the mechanical clock in the far corner. We were there when the clock struck one o’clock - so not much movement on the animated figures at the top of the clock! The cathedral is worth a visit - even in winter!

Strasbourg’s iconic cathedral is truly breathtaking. From the outside, you can admire the magnificence of Gothic architecture in every detail. The massive towers and finely carved stone decorations are mesmerizing. Once inside, the peaceful atmosphere immediately surrounds you; the colorful light filtering through the stained-glass windows gives the cathedral a mystical feeling. Climbing up the tower is a bit challenging, but the view makes it absolutely worth it. You can see the rooftops of the city, the Rhine River, and the Alsace landscape stretching far into the distance. The astronomical clock inside the cathedral is also a must-see – both historically and technically fascinating. Whether during the day or illuminated at night, the cathedral offers a unique beauty in every moment. It’s not only a religious site but also a cultural and historical treasure. Anyone visiting Strasbourg should definitely make time to see it

Waterfalls
Triberg Waterfalls, touted as one of Germany's highest waterfalls, is a must-visit attraction in Triberg. Although it may not hold the title for the absolute highest waterfall in Germany, standing at 162 meters tall and cascading down 7 steps into the valley below, it certainly offers an impressive sight. Accessible via a hiking trail, this paid attraction has managed to preserve its natural beauty.
A must-visit in the heart of the Black Forest! Triberg Waterfall impresses with its seven-tiered cascades and lush forest setting. The trails are well-marked, family-friendly, and offer stunning photo spots. While it’s not a single dramatic drop, the natural charm, fresh mountain air, and occasional squirrel sightings make it a memorable stop. 🎒📸 💡 Tip: Go early or during off-peak hours for a peaceful experience. Don’t miss the night illumination if you’re around in the evening!

An easy nature trail accessible with asphalt, but its elevation is not easy for those who have difficulty walking or strollers. Relatively reasonable entrance prices. Most of it is shaded and pleasant. The entire trail and the beauty you see in the waterfall of the humpbacked trees are very beautiful and a highly recommended place.

The Triberg Waterfalls are really beautiful and worth seeing! The views are amazing, and the walk through the forest feels fresh and peaceful. You can take great photos and enjoy nature all around. However, the entry fee felt a bit high for such a short walk, and the place can get quite crowded, especially on weekends. Parking can also be tricky if you come late. Overall, it’s a lovely place to visit once — great for nature lovers, but be ready for a bit of a crowd and some walking uphill.

Visited the waterfalls for free. Get on the path to the Froschbrunnen (Frog Fountain), ignoring all signs saying no path to the waterfalls. Once at the Frog Fountain take the right-most path from it & stay on this as it curves left around the hill & you will eventually see the swarms of tourists down below you on the lower waterfall paths. Take the first available path down to join the path around the waterfalls. You can either exit back the way you came, or go out through the turnstile that the paying tourists come through at the bottom of the waterfalls.

Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Rhine Falls, also known as Rheinfall in German, is the largest waterfall in Europe, located along the Rhine River in Switzerland. The falls are 150m wide and 23m high and have been a source of inspiration for artists like Turner. Visitors can take boat trips, explore viewing platforms, and join guided tours to fully experience this natural wonder. One popular viewpoint is from the walls around Laufen Castle, offering striking views of the falls.
Absolutely breathtaking! The waterfalls in Switzerland are like something out of a postcard – powerful, majestic, and surrounded by stunning natural beauty. The sound of the rushing water combined with the fresh mountain air makes the experience unforgettable. The area is well-maintained, easy to access, and perfect for both nature lovers and photographers. Definitely a must-see if you’re visiting Switzerland! 🇨🇭

Stunning place, absolutely amazing. Even though it was a rainy morning, the view over the falls and around was breathtaking. I bought boat ride tickets online, but I couldn't use them because our bus tour arrived too early and we only stayed for one hour. There is a very pleasant promenade with benches to rest on, multiple viewing platforms, a couple of gift shops, and several toilet facilities.

It is a beautiful waterfall. I came to it with the knowledge that it is Europe's largest and most powerful waterfall but when I saw it I was not impressed at all. Compared to the major waterfalls in other continents, it is not that large or powerful. But it is beautiful. And the walkway that leads to it is fine. There is plenty of water and it is so beautifully blue. The foamy water under the waterfall is nice to see. And there are quite a few waterbirds there such as gulls.

The Rhine Fall offer a truly spectacular natural experience. We have visited several times and we loved it everytime. Until now, we have always chosen the entrance via Laufen Castle, which features a panoramic trail and a viewing platform situated halfway down. A staircase leads directly to the base of the falls, and after passing through a short tunnel carved into the rock, visitors can admire the waterfall from an impressive side vantage point. Watching the immense volumes of water cascade downward is endlessly captivating — a sight that draws us back time and again. I can also recommend to enjoy the boat ride to the Fall. It‘s a great experience!

Absolutely breathtaking! The view of Rheinfall is simply amazing—powerful, majestic, and unforgettable. Whether you're standing on the viewing platform or taking a boat ride close to the falls, the experience is incredible. Nature at its finest!

A wonderful creation of nature and if you are in Zurich i would recommend having a visit to Rhine falls. It is easily accessible via train and there is a train station that gets you right to the viewing point of rhine falls. You have to buy a ticket to enter the falls which was around 5CHF at the ticket vending machine located there. No need to prebook the tickets. Then you have to take some steps down thus a small walk will take you to the viewing platform of this huge waterfall. You will feel the mist as the water power is really great at the viewing platform. There are several boat services which you can hop on to on an extra cost and will take you closer to the falls.

A must-visit Swiss landmark! Plan at least half a day, walk down from the castle to the waterfall, enjoy the view at various view points, take a boat tour with an audio guide, have a bite, walk back around the waterfall and over the bridge. Visit after a heavy rain when the waterfall has lots of water. Try to come during the week when it’s less busy. There is a little tourist train going around the waterfall and showing some of Schaffhausen. Very easily accessible by car or by train.

the island is very pretty and has a lot to offer, many different kinds of nature sections and lots of things for kids around/ food places etc but was quite expensive (especially because i didn’t have long to stay which is not an issue of the place) but i could see how it could be kind of worth it as a whole day activity
Nicole B — Google review
The island is incredibly beautiful — everything is in bloom and so well maintained! However, we were really disappointed to find out (a bit too late) that the butterfly house has different opening hours from the rest of the park. We arrived just 10 minutes after it closed and sadly missed it. It would be great if the timing was clearer on the map or signs.

One of the most beautiful gardens in Germany. You need at least 4 hours. The entrance fee is approximately 25 euros, but it is worth i

Perfect place for nature and flower lovers. Every season has its own color and the blooming plants. Old trees like Tilia over 100 years old. Beautiful views and walking aleys. Next time, I would bring some lunch and enjoy a picnic.

Great place to visit if in Konstanz. Check out the butterfly orangery and see butterflies with clear wings.

I can bet it is the most beautiful places I have visited. For the tulips, instead of visiting Keukenhof, this is a better place. Surrounded by nature, play gyms for kids, animals where kids can even feed the goats was a holistic experience. We went with our 2months old baby and it was quite smooth. There were ramps everywhere. Accessibility was not a challenge. The tulips were beautiful. There were other flower exhibitions as well indoors. A must visit for everyone!!!!! The connectivity via ships is also very smooth and timely. We went from Meersberg to Mainau.

Hohenzollern Castle

Mentioned on 
10 lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Perched on a mountaintop in Hechingen, Germany, Hohenzollern Castle is a 19th-century architectural gem that houses an impressive art collection and the crown of the Prussian king. Unlike its more famous counterparts, this fairy-tale castle offers a quieter and less crowded experience for visitors. Surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Black Forest region, it's a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and admirers of picturesque castles.
great place to spend the day. inside the castle is a picturesque restaurant with a local seasonal dishes. dessert Strudel is a super big and delicious dessert, with the signature castle decoration. the castle is on a mountain, be prepared for it to be a bit more chilly and possibly windy at the top. we were not prepared, but the great sweatshirts from the brand store saved us 👌🏻

Visiting Hohenzollern Castle was one of those experiences that really stays with you. As we made our way up and started walking around the outdoor observation areas, the view simply took my breath away. The valley stretches out endlessly, and from the castle walls it feels like you’re standing above the world. It’s the kind of view that makes you stop, breathe, and just take it all in. The castle itself is just as impressive as the scenery. It stands tall and majestic, with an atmosphere that carries centuries of history. Walking through it, you can almost feel the presence of the people who once lived there and the important role this place played. Every hallway and corner has a story, and when you step back outside to those sweeping views, it all ties together beautifully. I’ve seen a number of castles in Germany — each with their own charm — but Hohenzollern stood out in a way that felt different. It wasn’t just about the architecture or the history alone; it was the combination of both with its stunning location on top of the hill. That mix of breathtaking scenery and deep history makes it one of the most memorable castles I’ve ever visited. If you’re traveling in the area, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s the kind of place you’ll remember long after you leave.

I loved how they still kept history alive for viewing and provided a free app guided tour. The shuttle to the castle from the parking lot, gift shops and bathrooms in both the castle and parking lot, and restaurants made the tour convenient. But the best parts were the view of nearby lands and beautiful artifacts.
Julia K — Google review
This was a wonderful experience and this castle does not disappoint with sheer beauty located at the top of the mountain. I got lovely photos and videos. There is shuttle bus to the top and an app that gives you an audio tour. There are also many guides on site to answer questions and give you more history. There is a gift shop with beautiful souvenirs and an on site restaurant/bar/cafe. Well worth the visit and I recommend buying advance tickets which are slightly discounted. I also rented a super car on this trip and the drive from Stuttgart was scenic and so much fun in a performance car. Also recommend the drive.

This is a beautiful castle! It is very well maintained. The walk through is nice, and the museum area is really neat too. There's a beautiful outdoor seating area with a beer garden/restaurant. We had lunch and coffee there. We also visited with a baby, and read ahead of time not to bring a stroller due to stairs and tight spaces. So we used a baby carrier instead and it worked perfectly! This is a must visit castle if you're anywhere close in the vicinity. The view looking down is also beautiful.

One of the biggest castles in Stuttgart. This is well-maintained, and the shuttle bus is a great option for the elderly and those with mobility issues. But you will get the best experience if you walk to the castle from the bottom.

Wonderful! It has such a cozy, homey vibe. It’s so great that the family is still preserving it and sharing it with the public. I do recommend downloading the tour app if you want all the detailed history of the castle.

Good place for a weekend visit. Nice view from the castle with benches and lounger to relax and enjoy the sunset. Shuttle service and parking space is commendable. Everything is included in the entry ticket.

It was a fantastic visit for me and my som. There is a big variety of vehicles from historical to date including prototypes. Additionally there is a space part that can be visited to see demos of spacecrafts. Airplanes were also amazing. I think at least 3 hours is needed to see all the rooms. One can also have an experience how to work of engines. There are parts for children to enjoy.
Gokhan Y — Google review
Incredible experience! It went way beyond my expectations. I didn’t think there would be this much to see. My main reason for going was the Buran and Apollo exhibits, but I ended up really enjoying the other sections too. There are dozens of cars, motorcycles, and airplanes on display. You also get to see flown items from Apollo, Gemini, Shuttle, and ISS missions. Capsule parachutes, Shuttle parts, astronaut gear, and even a Moon rock from Apollo 15… Such an amazing collection. The Lunar Module looks almost exactly like the real thing, and the lunar suits are just as impressive. Absolutely a must-visit!

Amazing display of land, water, air and space vehicles. I did not expect the huge collection of well-displayed artifacts that allowed up cloce inspection. The Lufthansa 747 is mounted high in the air, can be seen from a distance, and still allows interior visits. Worth a special trip.

It may take more than a day or two to see all this museum has to offer. The wing walk is a must, dont forget to grab your carpet to slide down afterwards.

An extremely well-curated museum that has a little something for everyone. We had an amazing tour guide who was clearly very passionate about the collection. Space, air, road, sea, plus a unique collection of musical machines.
