Water & Amusement Parks
Theme Parks
LEGOLAND® Billund Resort is a top tourist attraction in Denmark, offering a day of fun for the whole family. The park features themed areas and a miniature world built entirely from Lego bricks. One of its main highlights is Miniland, where visitors can marvel at intricate Lego models of cities and famous landmarks. The resort also boasts an array of thrilling rides, including roller coasters that cater to both kids and adults.
That is just amazing! Lego is big love. We were here twice. And, of course, I want to come again 😁 I like everything here. Of course there at a lot of people, and you need to wait in a big queue to get your ride, still the place is marvelous. I recommend to come here not only with children’s but for yourself, too. Everyone will find something special here.
Александра Ц — Google review
Great for kids and their families. You get the whole Lego experience as soon as you enter. The corridors and rooms are decorated in various lego themes...pirates, knights etc. Table tops, door signs, bathroom tiles all fit the Lego theme. Entry to Legoland is via a walkway from the hotel. Breakfast is good. Lots of options to suit many tastes. The restaurant also caters for dinner as well, with a menu that does offer some Danish food.
Hope F — Google review
Beautiful park, some areas could need a little touch-up / love, but we absolutely loved it. There is something for everyone. I especially adored all the attention to details. A dog bowl in Lego etc. Halloween isn’t really a thing where we’re from, so we were surprised to see the whole park decorated. (Since we forgot that we were going in the week of Halloween) It was a pleasant surprise and made the whole experience feel magical. The prices change when pre ordering tickets depending on date, it was wise to order them with a discount online, the day before we went.

We just visited during the autumn holiday and had an absolute blast on the rides! The atmosphere was great, and we treated ourselves to some delicious churros too 👀 I was also there in summer and had such a fun time - especially on the water-themed rides like the canoe and the pirate boat 💦 Always a great day out! Even during holidays the lines aren’t bad - the longest we waited was about 20 mins. Highly recommended for kids! ✨️
Polina C — Google review
A fantastic place for kids and families! The park is cozy, creative, and full of fun details everywhere you look. I recommend going on a day when it’s less crowded – it makes the experience so much better (we loved being able to walk straight through the queues without waiting). The attractions are varied and suit all ages, from the smallest rides to the bigger roller coasters, and of course the incredible LEGO builds all around the park. It really feels like stepping into another world. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Denmark, and I’d recommend buying your tickets in advance to save time at the entrance.
Alexander P — Google review
This place is so fun my 3 children had a blast. They have many rides that even my 1 year old can go on, providing that we held her in our lap or sat next to her. The rides are diverse, the line ups were not too long. All in all a fantastic experience. Only criticism would be we should have had 2 full days to see everything, it's a lot if you only have 1 day.
Doug G — Google review
We visited in September, and Legoland was a bit of a disappointment. It’s the oldest Legoland, and you can tell - everything looks a bit faded, there’s some cobwebs here and there, and it’s not very clean overall. Inside there’s a great big LEGO store, but the prices are higher than in the Netherlands. It only really makes sense to buy the limited editions - though, to be honest, they’re not particularly exciting either. Overall, if you’re traveling from another country just for Legoland, it might be worth considering other destinations. But don’t forget - there’s also the LEGO House in Billund, and that place is really great.
Olga D — Google review
Fun for a whole day for both small kiddos and adults. Plenty of spaces to sit down and eat the lunch you bring (and you should bring one, because food in the park is expensive). The Atlantis sea world part was very cool with live fish aquariums to look at. We were there on a Friday in October on a mostly cloudy day and it was the perfect amount of people - we only had to queue for the biggest thrill rides and even then only 15min. All other attractions was max 5 minutes wait, so we could even do all rides multiple times if we wanted to. Pay for parking in advance for smoother experience.

Ribe Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+19 other lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Ribe Cathedral, a medieval Romanesque-style cathedral dating back to 1250, is a prominent landmark in the small town of Ribe, Denmark's oldest town. Situated on the west coast, Ribe was founded as a Viking trading post between 704 and 710. The cathedral rises majestically over the town with its 52-meter high tower offering panoramic views of the surrounding area and the National Park.
Ribe is truly a gem in Denmark and definitely worth a visit — whether you’re into history or not. The staircase to the tower starts with stone steps but quickly transitions into wooden stairs. As far as I know, there are 240 steps to the top. From the top, you get a fantastic view of the town and the surrounding landscape — a truly beautiful panorama. On the way up, you can see, among other things, two large bells, each weighing more than 3 tons. The entrance fee is 30 DKK per adult.
Jarl R — Google review
Founded in 860. You must see the baptismal font- 1400s, the beautifully carved pulpit built in 1596/7 and the controversial Carl Henning-Pedersen frescos decorated 1983. An amazing space. Plus there are three organs.
Julie R — Google review
there si no fee to visit the cathedral, however, once you are there, definitelly visit tower and tower museum - tickets are available at tourist desk(inside of curch) for modest price and after climbing about 250 stairs you can enjoy rare outlook - since there are no natural view point in the vicinity. parking: prohibited around cathedral food&beverages: no toilets: yes

A beautiful cathedral both inside and out! You can walk all the way up to the tower and enjoy a magnificent view of Ribe city. Truly worth the visit!

The view from outside is breathtaking. We couldn't go inside. The small town is also well worth seeing.
Roman S — Google review
Ribe Cathedral (Ribe Domkirke) is Denmark’s oldest cathedral and one of the most significant historical landmarks in the country. Located in the heart of Ribe, Denmark’s oldest town, the cathedral dates back to around 1150 and showcases a unique mix of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. The cathedral is famous for its impressive twin towers, though only one, the Commoner’s Tower (Borgertårnet), remains fully intact and accessible. Visitors can climb to the top for breathtaking views of Ribe and the surrounding marshlands. The church’s interior is equally stunning, featuring beautiful frescoes, intricate altarpieces, and a striking modern bronze relief by Carl-Henning Pedersen. One of the cathedral’s most notable aspects is its history. Over centuries, it has withstood Viking raids, fires, and structural changes, making it a living testament to Denmark’s religious and cultural evolution. The cathedral also houses the tomb of Saint Ansgar, the missionary who brought Christianity to Scandinavia. Today, Ribe Cathedral remains an active place of worship while serving as a must-visit attraction for tourists. Its rich history, architectural beauty, and panoramic views make it a fascinating destination for history lovers and travelers alike.

Koldinghus

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Museum
Castle
Koldinghus, located in Kolding, is a remarkable cultural history museum housed within restored castle ruins. The castle has a rich and turbulent history dating back to the 13th century. Despite being partially destroyed by fire in 1808, it was rebuilt in the 20th century, seamlessly blending old and new architectural styles. The museum boasts an impressive collection of artifacts including the Christian IV collection, gold & silverware, Flora Danica table service, and princess gowns.
Again, grading on a curve based on location, but I had a 2.5 hour Layover at the train station and decided to visit this place which is a very short walk from the station. We'll worth the walk. The museum is very well organized and you can feel the history when your there. It use to be a royal residence from what I was told, among many other things. Great staff and they have lockers to store your bags while your visiting the museum. A little pricy, I think that I paid 22 euros, but it was worth it. Good place to visit if you have the time and it sits right next to a beautiful scenic river and walkway with benches to stop and soak up the view.
Kevin ( — Google review
The restoration of this old castle is unique and worth seeing just for a completely different approach to restoring and protecting a heritage building. Definitely worth visiting.
Tom S — Google review
13th century castle on a hill overlooking the town and the castle lake. It is probably Kolding's most famous landmark. If you want to see the castle from the inside, you will have to spend a lot of money. The entrance fee is quite expensive. You can pay in advance online or on site at the ticket office.
Oskar V — Google review
Interesting mix of old and new architecture. The castle was partially destroyed in a fire in 1808 and was rebuilt in the 20th century in a way which preserved the original building but also clearly showed the modern parts. One of the highlights for us was the Flora Danica table service. Just amazing. The princess gowns were lovely. There was even the possibility to dress up as royalty yourself. There is a cafe on site. There is parking near the castle but the castle is also within walking distance from the center of town.

Nice castle, the floral porcelain table ware was amazing. I also liked the replica clothing. The lace making looks very hard.

The Kolding Fortress or "Koldinghus" really is an iconic landmark for the city, It being destroyed back in the 1800's has still had a good restoration. Overall it's a good museum and has a great view on the top with the Hercules Statue remaining intact, it's overall a location worth visiting if you're having a transit through the city of Kolding.
Salih Z — Google review
This was under serious renovation at the time we visited. Although looking back at the history it seems to have spent more time like this than not! Was a nice casual look around, the way the modern elements slotted into the existing fabric was nothing short of breathtaking.

Home to over 1,500 animals from more than 100 different species, this popular zoo provides an unforgettable adventure for visitors of all ages. With regular feeding times and special experiences such as overnight stays for families, it's no wonder why Odense Zoo has been named one of the best small zoos in Europe.

A very nice zoo, where they take good care of their animals. Informative signs with a lot of fun facts. The biomes for the rainforest species and penguins are amazing, but bring a cardigan if you want to stay for feeding time in the latter, it's quite chilly (as it should be)!

Super nice zoo, the animals are well taken care of and they have a good time here. The park is nice to walk through, sometimes it is a little impossible to follow the main trail via the map. But that just makes the adventure more interesting. I am totally in love with the king penguins, they are so big! For me I feel that the enclosures could be a little bigger but I am not an expert after too course.

Sights & Landmarks
German submarine U-995 is a historical and technical museum located on Laboe beach, housed in a World War II-era U-boat. This Nazi Germany submarine was damaged in 1944 and later used by the Norwegian navy until the 1960s. Today, it offers visitors a glimpse into its tight interior, including the engine room, cabins, control stations, and torpedo tubes. It is one of the few remaining intact U-boats and sits next to the Laboe Naval Memorial.
This was incredibly interesting. I had the opportunity to go here with three of my friends. It’s unbelievable to think people actually lived in this submarine!
Nick — Google review
This is probably the number 1 attraction in the area, and yet you don't need to be there long, and it definitely stirs mixed emotions. On the one hand, it's really cool to get to walk through a submarine, the engineering, the equipment, the pipes and valves, the electrics and communication, etc. are all fascinating. So, too, is a view of how the crew slept and ate in such a cramped space. But then the sombre thought that these guys were killing your guys, never really leaves you. Lest we forget.

Designer Outlet Neumünster offers a wide range of stores and products with great discounts. You can find quality clothing from many popular brands, often with additional deals. The selection is good and prices are really worth it. The only downside is that there aren’t many options for food or lunch, but overall, it’s a great place for shopping if you’re looking for variety and good value.
Vr M — Google review
Great little “village” of designer brands from all categories, dotted with coffee shops and ice cream parlors. The shopping selection is impressive and well-organized, with something for every taste and budget. Food wise, it’s functional rather than fantastic but enough to keep you going. Don’t expect a culinary highlight. A well-maintained and pleasant place for a day of bargain hunting (weather permitting).

Nice place, many brand outlets are available here. Need to pick and choose for offers. Majorly good for shoes brands like Nike and Adidas, schedules particularly.

I arrived early in the morning at Designer Outlet Neumünster, when all the shops were still closed and the place was quiet. The calm before the shopping rush gave me a chance to really take in the spacious layout and the modern design of the outlet. Located on Oderstraße 10, it’s about 45 minutes by car from Hamburg, and you can also get there by train from Hamburg Dammtor to Neumünster with a transfer, which takes around 1.5 hours. Even before the shops opened at 10 am, I noticed the huge parking area with plenty of spots, including premium and electric vehicle charging stations. The outlet hosts over 120 designer stores offering discounts up to 70%, featuring brands like Karl Lagerfeld, Woolrich, and Zwilling. I was excited to come back later and explore all the fashion, accessories, and more. The peaceful morning also gave me a moment to appreciate the cafes and restaurants that would soon fill with visitors. It felt like a perfect blend of convenience and style, making it clear why this spot is a favorite for both locals and travelers looking for great deals near Hamburg. If you’re coming without a car, the best way is to take the train from Hamburg Dammtor to Neumünster, then a short bus or taxi ride to the outlet. It’s an easy trip and well worth it for a day of shopping and relaxing in a clean, welcoming environment.

Designer Outlet Neumünster is a pleasant place to visit with a good variety of shops and a clean, well-organized layout.

I had a fantastic experience walking through the Old Elbtunnel! It only takes about 10 minutes to walk from one side to the other, and the views when you reach the other side are really cool. The tunnel itself has a unique charm. Best of all, it's completely free! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hamburg.
LISA — Google review
Variety and overcrowd in such a narrow tunnel, and amazingly remained order. We took ship tour instead of strolling along the pier. Thereby we could have an overall idea about the harbor area and came with some great buildings to appreciate. For instance, Elbphilharmonie ! 🙂
Angela M — Google review
Beautiful spot next to the South entrance of the Alter Elb Tunnel, and perfect if you want a panoramic view to the Hamburg waterfront on the North Side. If you’re up for it, you can also go and see the other photo spot next to the “Stage Theater An Der Elbe”, 20 minutes on foot. That will bring you closer to the Elbphilharmonie building.
Per S — Google review
One of the best hidden gems in Hamburg! You can walk here through the historic Elbtunnel or take a short ferry ride from Landungsbrücken. Once there, you get an amazing panoramic view of the harbor, the Elbphilharmonie, and the city skyline. Perfect spot for a quiet break, photos, or just watching ships go by. It’s peaceful and not too touristy. Highly recommend if you’re exploring the harbor area!
Alessia — Google review
Easy to get here via the Elbtunnel (absolutely worth a visit) or a short ferry ride (included in the hvv day ticket). The view is really cool but partially obstructed. It would be ideal if the observation platform could be elevated and widened a bit. Otherwise an amazing view of the Hamburg skyline.

Miniatur Wunderland

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Miniatur Wunderland is a must-visit attraction in Hamburg, featuring the world's largest model train exhibit. The miniature recreations of famous global sites such as Hamburg, Austria, and Scandinavia are incredibly detailed, with animated elements like planes taking off and lights simulating sunset and sunrise. It's a popular tourist spot for visitors of all ages, offering guided tours through its intricate landscapes and bustling cities.
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.

Wonderful experience, details are incredible, as well as the perfect scaling and diversity of scenes presented. 100% positive memory. Being an adult doesn’t mean itself not for you! Maybe ever better than being a kid. The day/night alternation gives it a magical touch. WOW

Wooooow! Amazing place with a unique experience that lets you walk through different parts of the globe. I loved how much attention to detail was put into everything, and the design often includes funny little scenarios—like taking a bath with a penguin or the sheep pyramid! It’s incredibly creative, yet the landscapes still feel realistic. The night and day versions of the cities are a very cool twist. Also, all the robotics and technology behind the functioning train system—without any crashes—is mind-blowing. I especially enjoyed getting a behind-the-scenes look at the newest addition. One thing to note: it’s a huge place to explore, so plan your visit accordingly to give yourself enough time to enjoy it without rushing from room to room. It can also get quite busy, so be patient and dedicate a full day if possible. There’s a café and food area if you want to take a break during your visit. Definitely recommend it! I’d love to come back and get even more lost in the details.

Absolutely one of the best attractions in Hamburg — and honestly, one of the most impressive exhibits I’ve ever seen. Miniatur Wunderland is massive and filled with astonishing detail. Most Germanic (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) countries and regions have their own area, complete with moving trains, planes, ships, lights, and tiny human stories happening everywhere you look. You could easily spend 3–4 hours here and still not catch everything. It’s not just for model train fans — it’s for anyone who appreciates creativity, craftsmanship, and a bit of magic. The nighttime lighting effects, airports, and little surprises hidden throughout make it incredibly fun for both kids and adults. It can get crowded, so I recommend booking a time slot early in the morning or later in the evening if you can. There’s a café inside with good snacks and drinks for a quick break between sections. Truly a must-see — whether you’re visiting Hamburg for a day or a week, Miniatur Wunderland is worth every minute.

Fantastic venue. Everything feels grounded and made by people who know what visitors will want to have or need. The exhibition itself is spectacular. Lots of details and stories are told ... Sometimes very hidden. Food is fine. Okay price. Reminded me of IKEA. There could be more washrooms. Also, the regular ticket isn't valid for reentry. That's a bit of a bummer since opening hours are until 1am.

Wanted to see this for years and now I've ticked it iff my bucket list! This is hands down the BEST minature railway and car layout you'll ever see! So much to see, you can easily spend all day here! Don't bring the missus, that will only reduce your fun! Definitely get tickets in advance, they sell out quick!

As a model railway enthusiast, I have been looking forward to coming to Hamburg to visit Miniatur Wunderland and the truth is that it worth it! I was delighted with the visit and I want to congratulate the whole team for all the impressive work that goes into every part of the model! The technique, the operation, the quality of the details, I love everything in general, especially the airport!! I also really enjoyed being able to eat in the Miniatur Wunderland restaurant. I am sure that in the future I will definitely visit this wonderful place again!

The Port of Hamburg, the largest container port in Germany and one of the world's biggest, is strategically located on the river Elbe. It serves as a crucial link between Eastern and Central Europe, offering safe docking for various vessels including containerships, oil tankers, and cruise ships. A visit to Hamburg would be incomplete without exploring this bustling harbor area or taking a boat tour to get an up-close view of its operations.
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.

there was a festival at the day I arrived, so it was really crowded, full of people everywhere, but after that it was so peaceful there, the air was fresh and the water was clean, it was just so nice to sit there and enjoy the sunshine, both day and night views were so beautiful!! Hamburg is definitely one of my favorite places in Europe!

The port is just huge! We took a tour on a boat for 20€ in order to admire the majesty of the cranes and the huge ships parked on the deck being loaded by containers. There are so many things to see but you need a guide to get the full experience

Seeing water flow around is satisfying and very beautiful, Hamburg was such a good experience. Go to the elbphilharmonie and watch the beautiful view of the port of Hamburg and entrance is free, if you have kids you can use the lift, if you boat trip at night is a bonus and costs around 20€, then a bus trip during the day also costed around 18€ for 2 hours and I must say everything was worth it

Heide Park Resort

Mentioned on

Amusement park
Water & Amusement Parks
Theme Parks
Heide Park Resort is the largest theme park in northern Germany, covering a massive 850,000m2 area with thrilling rides suitable for the whole family. From adrenaline-pumping roller coasters like Krake and Colossus to family-friendly attractions such as Wildwasserbahn and Indie-blitz, there's something for everyone. The park has reopened after the pandemic with safety measures in place, making it a fantastic experience for all ages.
It's a great entertainment center. It's in the middle of the forest, far from the city center. It's between Hamburg and Bremen. It's a 20-minute walk from Wolterdingen train station. It has a nice theme hotel inside. The hotel food is average, a little below average, but still not bad. The amusement park also has food options, which are below average. The entertainment starts at 10 a.m. and ends at 6 p.m. for everyone. Hotel guests can enter half an hour early but can only queue. The attractions also start at 10 p.m. Wait times are on average 20-30 minutes. Wait times for ages 8 and under are shorter, around 5 minutes. If you're quick, you can visit and enjoy one attraction in one day. If you take it slow, it even takes two days. It's a must-see for anyone with children aged 12-29. The park design, roller coasters, and themes are all excellent. It would be great if they upgraded the food service as well.

Huge adventure park not too far away from Berlin. Went here with our little one and there are already ample rides for his age. Parents traveling with toddlers will still have lots of options for attractions. The Peppa Pig Land offers several choices. One doesn’t have to like Peppa Pig to enjoy the rides. I would also recommend the Food Stop inside Peppa Pig Land offering Rice Bowls etc. The staff are very friendly and food tasted delicious. We visited on a weekday so waiting times weren’t that long. But I have seen long queues in the coasters. Using the app, it was easier to navigate how to get to a specific attraction. It also shows age/height requirements, waiting times, etc. The coaster rides are very famous and there are different types on different levels so there is an option for everyone for sure. I would advise to bring your water bottle and rain coat/rain jacket atop your extra clothes. Several Food stalls are available. Book your tickets ahead online to get discounts. If ever not yet known, fyi, children celebrating their birthday get to enter for free.

I haven't been here in years. We arrived right when it opened and stayed until closing time. I was looking forward to coming here, and I was not disappointed. We had such a great time! The weather was mixed, which was good, as it meant that the crowds were not that large and the wait times were reduced. I went on every rollercoaster, and some even several times. The food was pretty good, too. I bought a few souvenirs and I must say the prices are really not that bad compared to other theme parks I have been to. I was still smiling the next day! I highly recommend a visit! I can't wait to come back! Next time, we'll stay the night.
Terence H — Google review
Great experience. Great day to be here. Not too many people as school has started and summer holidays are mostly over. Wait time was between 10 and 60 minutes. Only note is that some queues were not covered which meant in sunny weather it could get quite hot. The thrill roller-coasters were amazing. The only roller-coaster I would NOT recommend is the double-loop one. Headache machine.
Sofie S — Google review
It is a great place to spend with the family. We visited the amusement park in the middle of the week. It was great to see it is not crowed and waiting times were between 10 to max 30min for the main attractions. It makes it really enjoyable not like other parks with super long waiting time and too many people that you hardly can breath. The restaurants inside offer various dishes and the quality was good, a bit pricey though which is normal in such a park. The only thing, some of the staff or instructor at some attractions were not really friendly. They might forgot where they work. The access to the park by car from Hamburg less than an hour was very fine. The parking space very well available. The access by public transport is a bit long though. It is a recommended place to visit. There are entertainment available for almost all ages.

It was a really quiet day when we were there so easy to get on any ride we wanted. Everything seemed in good working order although it needed a bit of freshening up after the summer season (we were there in late September). The were still plenty of options for eating and things were reasonably priced (for a theme park!). The ride staff were great and interacted with our children well (our children don’t speak German). Because it was quieter, they allowed us and others to just keep riding those rides without a line. A good day and a good experience. The only problem we had was getting into the correct carpark!
Benjamin H — Google review
Visited Heide Park and had a fantastic day filled with fun and adrenaline. The park has a great mix of rides for all ages — from high-speed roller coasters for thrill-seekers to gentler attractions for families and younger children. The grounds are well laid out and easy to navigate, with plenty of seating areas and spots to take a break. Queues for the bigger rides can be long at peak times, but the atmosphere and excitement make the wait worthwhile. Food options are varied, with something to suit most tastes, though prices are on the higher side as expected in theme parks. Staff were friendly and kept the rides running smoothly and safely. Overall, Heide Park is a must-visit for theme park lovers in Germany. A great mix of thrills, family fun, and beautiful surroundings make it perfect for a full day out.

We came from far away especially for this park, as we had promised our little daughter. We had been here before, and she really enjoyed it and wanted to return. We entered the park, and immediately a heavy downpour began. We went into the shop at the entrance and waited for an hour. The rain didn’t stop. We approached customer service and asked to postpone our tickets to the following day — our request was denied. We waited another hour and tried, for our daughter’s sake, to continue through the park. We were soaked to the bone, and all the rides were closed. There was absolutely no way to fulfill our promise to her. Apart from walking around in the rain, there was nothing to do! I contacted customer service by email, hoping they would show some flexibility and let us enter on another day. But no — that's their policy, with no exceptions. After about two hours, with no sign of the rain stopping, we simply left. The disappointment for our daughter — and for us — was indescribable. It’s truly a shame that this is how children are treated. We, the parents, pay full admission just so the kids can have fun, and the park didn’t even take this small step to accommodate us by allowing a replacement visit. What a pity!

Serengeti Park Hodenhagen is a fantastic destination that combines the thrill of an amusement park with the wonder of a safari experience. This unique animal park and holiday resort features free-roaming wildlife, allowing visitors to explore at their own pace in their vehicles. The park is well-organized and clean, making it easy for families to navigate while enjoying both animal encounters and exhilarating rides suitable for all ages.
One of a kind zoo. Safari in our own car is something very convenient for families and with that we were able to experience the animals in very close proximity. Animals looked well fed and in good shape unlike other zoos i have visited. There are also various free rides in the park both for kids and adults. Various food stalls and also WC were available throughout the park and very well maintained. Staff were also very friendly and helpful. Definitely a must visit place and it was very well spent day out for us 😊

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

We went for the Halloween special and we really enjoyed it. It wasn't too busy, and not too scary. We were able to enjoy all the rides without a wait on most occasions. Unfortunately, both rollercoasters were not operating, I dont know if this is normal for the winter months. We stayed in a safari comfort lodge, which was clean and perfect for the three of us. It was quite small, but we were only in there to sleep. The accommodation is immediately next to the park and restaurant. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet which was included in our package. We didn't have time to experience the safari park this visit. We will definitely be returning next year.
Nicol H — Google review
An interesting park with a lot of different animals. My recommendation is to go through the park in your own car instead of the bus, as it is really safe and better for seeing the animals. Touring by car takes about 2–3 hours, after which you can visit the amusement park within the same area and spend another 3–4 hours having fun—rides, winning teddy bears by throwing into baskets, food available around. There is also a place where you can feed and pet goats, sheep, and llamas, which is truly wonderful for animal lovers. Overall, a very nice experience and recommended.

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

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

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

Grand traditional town hall building and landmark, still in use for the local mayoral offices. You can enter for free since its public government, you'll only need to pay for the special elevator ride to the tower platform that's boasting a great aerial view over the whole city of Hanover and surrounding area. The elevator is special since it's following the somewhat crookedly-built silhouette of the old building. It was designed like that instead of destroying big historical sections of the edifice internally.

Visiting from Canada and brought my 3 kids here aged 3 to 7. The whole family had an amazing time. Well thought out exhibits, loved seeing so many different animals up close and personal. Will always remember our visit to this zoo. Should have gotten tickets online sooner as they were cheaper, and can attend for free on your birthday!

My first time here and I absolutely loved it. I honestly didn’t expect much from a zoo in Germany, but this one went far beyond my expectations. It feels more like an amusement park somehow! The boat ride is my favorite part, since some of the animals can be seen better from the boat. And don’t miss the zoo shop. They have so many cute merch items. Definitely one of the best zoos I’ve ever been to.

All the animals looked so happy! The enclosures are just so amazing! Really good job making them themed after the area you’d find the animals in the wild, which just made it look so natural and made it look so that the animals were at home! Not seen anything like this before! The entry fee is at the higher end but it’s so worth it! Loved all of it!

15 out of 10 for theming, one of my favorite in the world! Beautiful areas and though they’re building new areas, spaces are original, more like a theme park and according to the animals. Loved the Yukon! Easy to navigate but plenty of signage, maps and ways to find your way. Worth a visit!

Specialty Museums
Autostadt in Wolfsburg is a must-visit destination for car enthusiasts and families alike. This automobile museum offers a fascinating display of the history of Volkswagen, featuring an impressive collection of vintage cars alongside new vehicle parking towers. Visitors can also enjoy driving tracks, shops, and restaurants within the park. Additionally, Autostadt provides a unique experience for families with designated play areas and activities for kids.
There’s a lot to see here, and it’s not boring at all. It’s perfect for families, car enthusiasts, and kids. You can see history and modern cars, including Bugatti, Porsche, VW, and Audi. There are also fun play structures for kids, places to climb, huge slides, hoops, and more. And the food was great - we had some delicious pizzas and even got some souvenirs. The only downside is that the Porsche museum was closed because of a concert, and I’m a big Porsche fan, so I give it 4 stars. Objectively though 5 stars.

If you are into cars and the automotive industry then this place is for you, it has a good playground for the little ones and for food you have restaurants and a bakery. It’s near the railway station and they have a huge parking lot that doesn’t cost that much. It’s worth the visit though you’ll a good chunk of the day to cover everything.

If it is your first time you will love it. The car museum is so nice If it is your second time it is the same. I have been here in 2018 and only things that changed were the sliders for the kids/adukts near the 4 chimney and of course there are new car models but... not so much change. You pay 20€ to see the cars and touch the production ones like in a regular car store.

Museum had a good range of cars from many manufacturers. The train tour around the factory was fantastic very immersive with a lot of information and interesting detail. The team were very accommodating we had been stuck in traffic so had missed the English speaking tour however, they went out of there way to give us an English spoken tour of the factor of the factory separate to the scheduled German tour. Many thanks to the team for a great experience 👍🏻

I found the staff to be amiable and courteous, and the environment to be organized, systematic, and well-maintained. I thought the ticket price was a bit high for what it had to offer, as I usually visit much bigger museums for that price. But this opinion comes from someone who doesn't know much about cars. If you know a lot about cars and are passionate about them, this will be your paradise. It is close to Hanover and a great place to spend a day with the kids.

Visiting the Autostadt in Wolfsburg was such a great experience! The whole place is beautifully designed, clean, and very well organized. From the impressive car pavilions to the museum and the factory view, everything showcases the history and future of Volkswagen in a fun and interactive way. I especially enjoyed the variety of exhibitions and how much attention to detail there is throughout the park. Definitely worth visiting if you’re a car enthusiast or just want a unique cultural experience in Germany!

World Heritage Rammelsberg ore mines

Mentioned on 
+12 other lists 
Museum
History museum
The World Heritage Rammelsberg ore mines, located in Goslar, is a significant attraction with a history dating back over 1000 years. The site was declared a UNESCO World Heritage in 1992. Visitors can explore the museum housed within the former silver mine, featuring exhibits on history and geology. Guided tours of the 18th-century shafts offer an immersive experience into the mining industry's past.
I had the train tour and the museum. The tour was just in German, but was done in a majestic way. The train is obviously the focal experience of the tour, but also how the life was underground and the tools used is explained wonderfully (also without knowing the language:)). The museum is in 3 buildings, the storage with the history is the main part, and the other 2 is more about the real machines. They all have English explanations.
Marco G — Google review
I took the train/ mine option and greatly enjoyed the ride and temperature change (it was hot outside). Although the tour was in German I was able to infer as it is a very visual and interactive tour. The tour guide was really good. Hard to believe what these workers had to go through to earn a living. Free parking nearby. Great tour,
D M — Google review
An amazing experience I would highly recommend! It's rare to get to walk in the shoes and take the same mine train the miners took back in the day, deep into the depths of this mine and UNESCO World Heritage site. The rest of the museum and exhibitions are also interesting but the mine rail tour is a must!
Aaron R — Google review
Exiting tour of the mines. Good museum part, but unfortunately most of it is in German.
Søren A — Google review
Very impressive! It was for me the first time to visit a mine like this, it feels you go back in time! The groups weren't that big, so you could see a lot of the mine. It was quite cold, so wear warm clothes. The train underground was an amazing experience!
Maud L — Google review
Very deceiving for such an emblematic place. It is still a quite impressive place full of history which is nice to see. I expected more... First of all, there is no tour in English. For a UNESCO world heritage site, you will expect at least one tour in English. For the museum part, it is interesting but everything is disorganised and it is not appealing. Some parts are only in German. I hope one day, this place would be made more accessible for non-german speakers.

I recently visited the Rammelsberg Ore Mines with my husband and had an incredible experience. We took the guided tour in English, called the Röder Stollen, led by Mr. Christian Etzrodt. He was super friendly and humorous, making the entire journey interesting and engaging. I really appreciate him going out of the way to add fun to the tour. It was an amazing and adventurous experience, and I highly recommend his tour. The reception staff were also very friendly and helpful (she helped us choose the appropriate tour), as was the lovely lady at the shop. Overall, it was a fantastic visit! We really enjoyed the experience. Oh, yes! Make sure to wear appropriate clothing and shoes. You would need to walk a lot and climb steep steps. Would not recommend this tour to people with claustrophobia, nyctophobia, panic disorder, breathing issues, pregnancy, etc. It is colder and dark and might be a bit slippery. P.S. I personally give bonus points for the "Stimmungsring" at the shop, haha

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Wernigerode Castle is a magnificent structure built on medieval foundations and completed in the 19th century. The SchlossbrIocke, or Castle Bridge, is a popular attraction with its vibrant turrets and towers. In addition to the castle, tourists can explore other key spots in Wernigerode such as the Market Square, Old Town, Town Hall, and Cathedral of St. Mary.
Beautiful place, very nice panoramic view from the castle hill, nice park around. The small town is very historical and pretty. A lot of restaurants, hotels, and shops. Nice to come with your family and friends to walk around and enjoy the historical architecture. Beautiful place!
Iris S — Google review
Beautiful castle with spectacular views of Wernigerode and Harz mountains. Very busy during my visit & somewhat disorganized. Could only find paid parking nearby with additional expense for a shuttle bus. However, there are several shuttle bus companies and you can't tell which is which until the driver kicks you off. But, still a nice place to visit.

Daan W — Google review
A must-visit when you're in Wernigerode! Wernigerode Castle is straight out of a fairytale — perched on a hill with breathtaking views over the charming town and the Harz mountains. The architecture is stunning, and the atmosphere feels like stepping into another century. Now, let me say this loud and clear: take the uphill walk to the castle if you can! Sure, there are shuttle buses and other ways to get there, but where’s the adventure in that? 😄 Brace your leg muscles and lungs — the incline is real! 🥵 But trust me, it’s the most rewarding option. It adds a touch of effort, a dash of cardio, and a full dose of “I earned this view!” Once you reach the top, all the huffing and puffing pays off. The castle is beautiful, the views are spectacular, and the photo ops are endless. Whether you're into history, architecture, or just soaking in amazing scenery — this place has it all. Pro tip: Go early or late in the day to avoid crowds and heat. Bring water, good shoes, and a bit of adventurous spirit!
Arif A — Google review
Worth the walk uphill. Go early to beat the crowds. Enjoy a beer at the cafe inside. It’s a lot quieter than the one outside. On the walk down I took a detour on some of the paths. Very green and beautiful woods.

The old town is dominated by the castle and church on the hill. The district is perfect for strolling through half-timbered houses and winding lanes.

(Translated by Google) World cultural heritage... and rightly so. This number of old half-timbered houses... surprising and inspiring. You quickly get the feeling that time has been turned back. Since there are fairy lights hanging in the alleys everywhere in the city, it must be really great in the evenings. Full recommendation for a visit. (Original) Weltkulturerbe.... und das zu Recht. Diese Anzahl an alten Fachwerkhäusern... überraschend und begeisternd. Man bekommt schnell ein Gefühl, als sei die Zeit zurückgedreht.

(Translated by Google) The old town ensures that Quedlinburg is rightfully a World Heritage Site. One half-timbered house follows the next, and at times, you truly feel like you're walking through the Middle Ages. Many alleyways are tucked away with small shops, restaurants, and pubs. Depending on the time of year, it's naturally very busy, but the old town is absolutely worth a visit. The climb to the castle hill is also worthwhile, as it offers a magnificent view of the old town. (Original) Die Altstadt sorgt dafür, dass Quedlinburg zurecht Welterbe ist. Ein Fachwerkhaus jagt das andere, man hat wirklich teils das Gefühl, man würde durchs Mittelalter wandeln. In vielen Gassen verstecken sich kleine Geschäfte, Restaurants und Kneipen. Es sind natürlich je nach Jahreszeit sehr viele Leute unterwegs, aber die Altstadt ist einen Besuch absolut wert. Auch der Aufstieg auf den Burgberg lohnt sich, weil man hier einen herrlichen Ausblick auf die Altstadt hat.

Hundertwasser's Green Citadel of Magdeburg

Mentioned on

Sights & Landmarks
Art museum
Nestled in the heart of Magdeburg, the Green Citadel stands as a testament to the visionary creativity of Austrian artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser. This whimsical building, located just a short stroll from key landmarks like the state parliament and Cathedral Square, showcases Hundertwasser's signature style both inside and out. Visitors can explore its vibrant courtyards, dine at delightful restaurants or cafes, and browse through various shops.
A nice building complex with a couple of restaurants inside. There are more than two entrances and they sell crazy good ice cream 🙂
Sofía G — Google review
A truly unique architectural gem in Magdeburg, designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser and completed in 2005, shortly after his death. The building breaks away from conventional architecture with its irregular forms and rooftop gardens. While visually striking, the interior spaces—especially the shops and hotel—could benefit from more curated content that reflects Hundertwasser’s philosophy. In many ways, it feels like a cousin to Gaudí’s works in Barcelona, though on a much smaller and more commercial scale.
Mousa M — Google review
It’s a very special building, several shops, cofe shop on the first floor. If you want to go to the top, have to buy ticket at information place and people bring you inside every hour. We don’t have time this trip, but only the ground floor, very interesting shops a lot!

All Saints' Church, Wittenberg

Mentioned on

Evangelical church
Sights & Landmarks
All Saints' Church, or Schlosskirche, is a stunning Gothic structure nestled in the heart of Wittenberg, Germany. This iconic church holds immense historical significance as the place where Martin Luther famously affixed his Ninety-five Theses to its door on October 31, 1517—an act that ignited the Protestant Reformation. As part of the UNESCO World Heritage sites known as the Luther Memorials in Eisleben and Wittenberg, it attracts visitors from around the globe.
Magic place. 95 thesis changed the world. Martin Luther inspired the human kingdom.

Paul T — Google review
Visiting this place is definitely a must! Located at the end of the main street of the historical area of Wittenberg, this place is of extreme value not only because at one of his doors Martin Luther nailed his 95 thesis, but also because his grave is inside the temple, at the back, under the organ pipes. The entrance is free. Take your time to admire every single detail of this treasure building in terms of architecture. Highly recommend. Ask for a guided tour, it will broaden your experience! Also, you can go up in the tower for 3 €, where you will have great views of the city.
Melvin D — Google review
This church is famous as the place where Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses in 1517, sparking the Protestant Reformation. Luther's translation of the Bible into German in Wittenberg strengthened standard German and influenced German literacy and culture. This church became a symbol of resistance against the authority of the Roman Catholic Church and received support from German princes, strengthening Lutheranism as a political force.
Reformindo — Google review
Absolutely fascinating. Excellent museum to be found attached to the church, with some of the best audio visual demonstrations I have seen, by that I mean they are easy to use and in several different languages and capable of being tailored to suit the user (eg magnified if you don't have your glasses :-) ). The Tower is well worth the climb with magnificent views over the city and surrounding countryside. Martin Luther's grave is in this church and this is the church he nailed his famous theses to.

Zoo Leipzig is a top destination in Germany, offering an immersive experience for visitors to observe 850 different animal species in habitats that closely resemble their natural environments. From watching elephants swim through an underwater glass wall to encountering black howler monkeys and playful penguins, the zoo provides a diverse range of experiences. Visitors can also explore themed areas such as the tropical Gondwanaland, home to Germany's only Komodo Dragon, and the unique Pongoland featuring various primate species.
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.

This Is the most amazing zoo I've ever been to. It's so big with the kids. We could only see a portion of it, but the jungle experience especially with the boat ride was so cool.

Leipzig Zoo is one of the best zoos I‘ve ever visited. Large enclosures. Many events throughout the day. Amazing infrastructure (you can find maps, sign posts, and directions for a tour that leads you through the entire zoo everywhere). They also don’t solely focus on the animals as mere entertainment but seek to inform kids in playful ways about preservation/biology/even physics in the aquarium. Leipzig Zoo also provides a variety of restaurants and snack bars that are evenly distributed across the entire Zoo. I wholly recommend visiting, whether alone or with friends and family. It’s an amazing and informative experience!

Rony W — Google review
This zoo park was fantastic. I would recommend this to everyone. There is so much to see and you should have water with you because food and water prices there is too expensive. WC is free which is very good. And I suggest you guys to go early there, zoo opens at 9 am and closes at 7pm. As I mentioned earlier there is lot to see so you probably will need some rest. And one good thing about this zoo park is that you see animals without any borders and it is kind of crazy but it is safe. So enjoy with your trip everyone.

As it houses so many great stores to shop in over 3 levels with so many things to see and amazing food options. You can't come to leipzig without seeing it as it is the main train station. Even made more lovely around Christmas or as they say Weinachten, as lots more food stalls open up.

Memorial
Sights & Landmarks
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations is a 91-meter-high memorial in Leipzig, commemorating the 1813 battle where Napoleon was defeated. It features a viewing platform and a history museum. Leipzig offers diverse attractions such as the Leipzig Book Fair, Bach Festival, cultural events, green spaces like the Riverside Forest and botanical gardens, and landmarks including the Bach Museum and St. Nicholas Church.
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations (Völkerschlachtdenkmal) is an absolute must-see in Leipzig. Towering at 91 meters, it commemorates the historic 1813 Battle of Leipzig, one of the largest conflicts in European history, where Napoleon’s army was decisively defeated. This striking monument is not only a symbol of resistance and unity but also a masterpiece of early 20th-century architecture. Surrounded by a tranquil reflecting pool and parkland, the monument offers an awe-inspiring exterior and an equally impressive interior. Visitors can ascend to the top for panoramic views of Leipzig and explore the solemn halls, giant warrior statues, and crypt-like chambers that leave a lasting emotional impact. Its grand scale, peaceful atmosphere, and deep historical significance make it one of the most important landmarks in the city. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or simply a curious traveler, this site offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Clean, well-maintained, and accessible, the Völkerschlachtdenkmal is more than just a monument—it’s a place of memory, reflection, and beauty. If you're visiting Leipzig, this iconic site belongs at the top of your list.

This amazing monument is a powerful reminder of the past and history. You can really feel the strong emotions when you’re there. Be prepared for lots of staircases—there are more than 350 steps, and some of them are in narrow, tiny hallways. It’s definitely not for claustrophobic people, but there’s an elevator that takes you up part of the way, though it doesn’t reach the top. It’s a great place to visit during the summer or spring when the weather is nice!

This intense and impressive monument is a MUST SEE if you are in Leipzig. The scale is stunning and is reminiscent of the Mines of Moria in Lord of the Rings. There are multiple lifts but if you want to get to the top viewing area, you have to use the stairs and it is a little walk. No bad, but most people emerged a little winded and sweaty. The sweeping views of Leipzig are great and, if you go on a sunny day, you can see many miles/kilometers in every direction. Highly recommended.
Chad T — Google review
A really impressive monument. It really makes you feel the enormity of the event being memorialized much like the World War I monument in Kansas City. There was a feeling of heaviness about the monument and it made me feel retrospective. A very nice visit. A stroll through the cemetery nextdoor is also warranted.

The manufactory also offers pre-recorded audio devices in multiple languages for an immersive experience.
A really lovely and modern building, which feels very light and airy. Our tour guide was excellent, providing great facts and stories.

You have the option of indoor or outdoor seating.

The Meissen porcelain manufactory is a very interesting place for those who love beautiful tableware, beautiful trinkets and are interested in crafts. You can go to the store and the museum at any time when the manufactory is open. But I strongly recommend purchasing tickets with a demonstration of the production process; it is better to buy them in advance for a tour in a language suitable for you. However, there is an English audioguide, it allows you to take advantage of the German excursion. I advise to visit a local cafe, where you will have the opportunity to dine on original Meissen porcelain. As a compliment we get there especial cookies with manufacture symbol.

Every time I come here I get ammazed what a beauty lies in the porcelain. Never get tired of this, though the entrance fee is not a cheapest one (EUR 10,-/p.p.)

Perfect place for people who have too much money on the account :) Large collection of porcelain and the tour explaining the process of making porcelain is definitely worth visiting.

Dresden Zwinger

Mentioned on 
+114 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Dresden Zwinger is a stunning Baroque building that houses a porcelain collection and exhibits on historic scientific instruments. The city of Dresden, often referred to as 'The Florence on the Elbe,' boasts magnificent architectural wonders like the Semper Opera House, Royal Palace, Cathedral St. Trinitatis, Castle Pillnitz, and Frauenkirche. Despite the devastation of World War II, Dresden has persevered and regained its beauty.
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.

Magnificent Baroque palace, initially build by August Strong as a an orangery and gardens, destroyed by the ally bombings in 1945, restored in 50s and 60s . You can walk on the roof of the galleries and admire the beauty of it. It's open till late evening and the entrance is free.The inner garden part is currently ( as of August 2025) under renovation. The galleries house 2 museums - one of mathematical instruments and another is porcelain gallery ( which I highly recommend). When we were there in one of the towers a classical music concert was held. It was beautiful to listen to music in a such beautiful place.

I visited the Zwinger in Dresden and really enjoyed the experience. There is a lot to see here, and the place itself feels quite special. The architecture is impressive and honestly a bit overwhelming – you can just stand there and keep looking at all the details. Every corner has something interesting, from the buildings themselves to the sculptures and the way everything is arranged. It was a bit crowded when I visited, but that didn’t really stop me from enjoying it. You still have plenty of space to walk around and take your time. I found myself slowing down just to notice the small details, and it was worth it. Overall, I think it’s one of those places you shouldn’t miss if you’re in Dresden. It’s not only about seeing a landmark, but also about the feeling of being surrounded by such a unique piece of history and design.

This is an absolute must-see in Dresden. There’s no need to explain why — just go. The palace offers much more to see than you might expect, so make sure to allow plenty of time for your visit. It’s truly worth the admission fee. The art museum was particularly impressive !
Just ! — Google review
Dresden Zwinger is an absolutely beautiful place—one of those spots where you instantly feel like you’ve stepped into another century. The architecture is breathtaking, with elegant palace buildings, detailed façades and peaceful courtyards that make the whole complex feel almost magical. It’s the kind of place where you can just stroll around, soak in the atmosphere, admire the gardens, and truly appreciate the history and beauty of Dresden. A must-see when visiting the city.

What a beautiful palace. Baroque at its best. Apparently nearly completely destroyed during world War 2 it now shines once more. Different exhibitions at the 4 wings with porcelain, old master and physics. Close to all the downtown historic buildings. In walking distance to the Frauenkirche. A definite must see.

We walked here to do something. It was pretty. We went across the street to rooftop bar pretty good view and sunset was pretty.
Lilla — Google review
The Zwinger in Dresden is one of the city’s most stunning Baroque landmarks. Its elegant courtyards and ornate pavilions make it perfect for walking around and taking photos. The Old Masters Gallery, home to the “Sistine Madonna,” is a highlight, along with impressive porcelain and scientific collections. The site is well-kept, atmospheric, and beautiful both day and night. A visit truly feels worthwhile.

Fürstenzug

Mentioned on

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
In Dresden, Saxony, one of the most captivating attractions is the Fürstenzug, also known as the Procession of Princes. This impressive 102-meter-long mural made of 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles showcases the history of the House of Wettin, spanning from the 12th to the 19th century.
The Fürstenzug in Dresden is an impressive mural made of Meissen porcelain tiles, depicting the history of Saxon rulers. At over 100 meters long, it is one of the largest porcelain artworks in the world. The level of detail in the figures is truly fascinating, bringing history to life. A must-see historical landmark when visiting Dresden!
Victoria M — Google review
The Fürstenzug took me by surprise—so detailed and grand, yet tucked along a quiet street. From my perspective, it’s one of those places that really brings history to life. The scale and craftsmanship of the porcelain mural are incredible, and it’s amazing how well it’s been preserved. It’s definitely worth pausing here while exploring the old town—it doesn’t take long, but it leaves a lasting impression.
Koel G — Google review
the procession of princes is enormous 102-meter-long porcelain mural that basically tells the history of saxony. it features 94 figures of all the saxon rulers and nobles in chronological order, starting way back in 1127. what's really cool is that it's made from an incredible 25,000 meissen porcelain tiles, which makes it the world's largest porcelain artwork. you'll find it right on augustusstraße, so it's super easy to check out as you're walking between dresden's main attractions. and the best part? you can view it completely free
KK — Google review
What an excellent and exquisite display of porcelain art. I believe the art shows a march of the Saxon ruler dynasty and is the larger porcelain mural in the world. When you come upon the wall, the sheer size of it is jaw dropping. You won’t be able to believe what you are seeing. It is beautiful. This is a must see sight when you visit Dresden.
Anand — Google review
We visited the Fürstenzug in December 2024 during the Christmas market, and we were truly impressed. Hahhh, what can I say or express? It was an incredible experience to stand in front of this massive wall of history. This open-air artwork is both grand and full of detail, yet located on a quiet street in Dresden’s historic center. * Stretching 102 meters long, the mural is made of over 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles and portrays the genealogy of the Wettin dynasty, which ruled Saxony for centuries. It’s considered the largest porcelain mural in the world. Originally painted between 1871 and 1876, it was later replaced with porcelain tiles from 1904 to 1907 to withstand the weather. In addition to princes, kings, and dukes, the mural also features scientists, craftsmen, farmers, and even children — which gives the artwork a more human and timeless feel. It’s a true open-air history lesson. The visit is free, quick, and unforgettable. Definitely worth stopping by while exploring the Old Town. And afterward, take a break at one of the lovely nearby cafés! I Recommend it.

Once I arrived in Dresden, I had to take the latest available train to see this. It’s more than I expected. On weekends, this alley can get a little crowded, so you might have to wait a while to get a good picture. :)

Wonderful historic place in the Alt stadt dresden! Indeed its a very beautiful architecture and painting
Navya N — Google review
This beautiful and historic mural, which we explored during a walking tour, runs along the Oberlandesgericht (Higher Regional Court) building. The intricate artwork, done in the style of sgraffito, is impressive and worth pausing to admire. The mural tells the story of Saxony’s history, making it both visually and historically captivating. It’s free to view, and you could spend 15-20 minutes here as part of a walking tour of Dresden’s historic centre.

Frauenkirche Dresden

Mentioned on

Church
Sights & Landmarks
The Frauenkirche Dresden is a stunning Baroque church that was reconstructed and reconsecrated in 2005 after being destroyed during World War II. It is part of the magnificent architectural ensemble in Dresden, often referred to as 'The Florence on the Elbe,' which includes the Semper Opera House, Zwinger, Royal Palace, Cathedral St. Trinitatis (Hofkriche), and Castle Pillnitz.
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
Anand — Google review
We visited as it’s our last day, it’s pretty impressive how much money, time, and effort to rebuild all these historic buildings, including this Church of our Lady. Inside still haven’t had much to see but still nice to visit. Free entry but if you wish to climb up to the viewing tower over 100 steps then have a fee.
Pasan S — Google review
This is a beautiful church that is the jewel of Dresden. I loved visiting the church as well as sitting outside in one of the many cafes and restaurants and taking in the view. Church entrance is free. It’s gorgeous inside. If you want to climb up the dome, you need to go around the back. I think it was €12 entrance. The views are great from the top. There are a good few steps going up to start and then there is a ramp around the dome which makes it far easier to ascend.
Gary W — Google review
Brilliant history! In the final days of WWII, the whole city was bombed including this church which was a very important part of Dresden. Following the reunification of German, it was rebuilt using some of the original stone! The building is incredible and there is a stunning view from the top. A must visit!
Evelyn S — Google review
Frauenkirche Dresden, A symbol of peace and rebirth. Destroyed during World War II and rebuilt from its original stones, the Church of Our Lady stands today as a powerful reminder of faith, resilience, and hope. Its magnificent dome shines once again over the heart of Dresden
Ali A — Google review
It's free to walk into the main part of the church where you can see the beautiful interior, and 10€ per person to climb to the top of the church. The stairs are pretty easy most of the way up, and up until after you finish walking up a big sloped ramp near the end you must also get up some VERY steep and skinny stairs (so beware, if you're a claustrophobe or don't like heights). But the view of Dresden is so worth it if you do it.
Caleb M — Google review
The magnificent Frauenkirche! When I last visited decades ago, the church was nothing but a pile of rubble—or more accurately, a heap of stones—serving as a stark reminder of the devastation of war. Reconstruction began in 1994, and on October 30, 2005, it was officially reopened. The church hall is impressively tall and richly decorated. You can climb up to the dome, but we didn’t have time for that on this visit. I’m sure the views from up there—both into the church and across Dresden—are breathtaking. If you only have time to visit one attraction in Dresden, I’d choose the Frauenkirche.

We came for a Mozart concert. It was fabulous. This rebuild baroque church is bright and beautifully grand. It holds around 3000 guests and is decorated with much gold and adornments.The seats were comfortable not like other old churches.it was warm and without drafts.

Pravčická Archway

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Sights & Landmarks
Restaurant
Pravčická Archway, a stunning natural sandstone formation, is a popular scenic site that requires a 5km uphill walk from the paid parking or bus stop. The entrance fee is around 4 EUR and credit cards are accepted. The area offers good amenities and breathtaking views, making it perfect for a sunny day excursion. However, it may not be ideal during windy or rainy weather due to its exposed location.
We recommend visiting here if you are around. Since we spent a night in Hřensko, we just parked our car at the hotel in town and continued walking from there. You can also take a bus or drive a bit further to reduce the walking distance. The path to the top is quite well-organized and well-maintained. Once you turn off from the main road, you’ll really feel how beautiful and impressive those rock walls are. It’s sad to see the damage from the fire a few years back, but it doesn’t reduce the impressiveness. I recommend wearing hiking shoes or good sneakers, as some parts of the path can be a bit slippery on rainy days. When you reach the Archway, there’s a small entrance fee, which likely contributes to maintaining the area. There are also clean toilets, which is really convenient. Before you sit and rest at the restaurant, I’d suggest hiking a bit further to the viewpoint so you can see the Archway from above with beautiful scenery all around. Just be a bit careful — it’s a bit steep and the wind can be quite strong up there. After soaking in the views, feel free to head down and relax with a drink and cake — a small reward for the achievement you made today. Don’t forget to bring your trash back down. I know many people can’t stop smoking, and I don’t mind as it’s your choice, but please don’t throw cigarette butts along the way. It’s not that hard to take even the small trash down so we can help save this area for the next generations. 🙏🏽

Great place to hiking, on website was mentioned that all roads are expert, but as I feel you can go even with kids. One minus, if you want to sit on the top in restaurant you need to pay for entrance, I think it strange decision , as you will pay for food and drinks. Queue for tickets in weekend 15-25 min
Maria E — Google review
In a stunning location amazing place for those who like hiking. It is quite steep in places but the path is beautifully done so everyone can do it. The hike took about 1.5 hours to get to the most incredible natural arch I have ever seen and it is worth to get exhausted on the way. The award on the top is fantastic, lovely restaurant and magnificent views. Access to the final part is restricted by times so it is worth to check out before trip to avoid disappointment and also you have to pay for it but cost is not expensive. Car park available on the bottom in the nearest town.
Agart P — Google review
Truly amazing natural formation. The walk is a bit far from the bottom but manageable. Bring comfortable shoes, open toe are not recommended, there's a lot of loose gravel, sand, and boulders. Once at the top the cost at the main door is 125 kc, but online you can pay 50 kc. Definitely recommended. Walk along the outside edge of the archway and get some great pictures.
Marcus S — Google review
We had an extremely interesting hiking experience, saw incredible landscapes and beauties. You have to see it with your own eyes. Parking for a car costs 12 euros. It takes from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to climb up, depending on your physical condition. Entrance to the most interesting places on the mountain costs 5 euros. The road from Prague by car is about 2 hours. Interesting, beautiful, you will not regret it
Oleksandr P — Google review
Well… even just being here means surrendering yourself to the genius loci of this world-class natural wonder! So close one eye a little.. enjoy your refreshment in this rather simple buffet.. and don’t be surprised by the crowds. What truly matters is the wooden chateau itself.. magnificent building that literally breathes history.
Vlada N — Google review
Good experience with family to take a loooooong walk in the nature. Need to have good shoes on, water. We paid to get inside the restaurant and the Gallery, but the toilets are out of drift, yes, after long trip, you are enjoying your beer, and then realize no WC. Some of the paths are not easy to walk, just be safe. Again the waitress doesn't speak English at all.
Corrina S — Google review
We visited this stunning site during the Easter holidays, and while it was quite crowded, the experience was absolutely worth it. The hike begins at Hřensko, with a well-marked trail leading you upward. There’s ample parking available at the base, but it fills up quickly—so it's best to arrive early. The trail is fairly steep in places, so wearing proper hiking shoes and carrying enough water is highly recommended, especially if you're visiting on a warm day. Once you reach the top, there’s a small entrance fee. At the summit, you will find a cafe, a kiosk, clean restrooms and an information center where you can purchase souvenirs. Note that the kiosk and souvenir shop accept cash only, so be sure to bring some with you. The panoramic views from the top are absolutely breathtaking - perfect for taking a break and soaking in the scenery.

Theresienstadt concentration camp

Mentioned on 
15 lists 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Theresienstadt concentration camp, also known as Terezin, was originally a garrison town turned into a Jewish ghetto and concentration camp during the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia. The fortress walls contained over 150,000 Jews from various countries. Visitors can explore the Great Fortress and Small Fortress on guided tours to learn about the harrowing history of this place. It's a somber experience that offers insight into the suffering and loss endured by countless families during that time.
It's not a place you want to star rate, but it has been well preserved and open to the public to recount, in a small way, the abhorrent conditions the Czech Jews had to endure. Important for as many people to visit and appreciate that this must never happen again.
Cheryl T — Google review
Really sad to get to know the past and how was life or surviving in a place like this, the entrance was about 10€ per person, there are toilets for free inside, don't miss the cinema, it shows a movie of about 20 minutes where you can get most of the information and history for free as well and it was translated in English.
Anna P — Google review
If you’re planning a visit to the Terezín Memorial, I highly recommend making an online reservation in advance. While there are a few basic informational signs scattered around the site, most of the historical context and stories require a guided explanation to truly understand the significance of what you're seeing. The admission ticket includes a guided tour, but you must book it online beforehand through their official website. Several language options are available, making it accessible for international visitors. There is a small kiosk within the site that offers vending machines, and the town has a few grocery stores. However, it’s a good idea to bring your own light meal and drinking water for the visit, as options on-site are limited. Also, make sure to set aside time to visit the other museums in town. The ticket to the concentration camp also grants you access to several important museums in the town of Terezín, and they are absolutely worth seeing. These museums provide essential context and help paint a fuller picture of the site's history.

My nephew as me about Auschwitz when we were in Germany so we drove there the following week. As I read on the Internet that we need to reserve as we won’t get in, that was false, the free entrance are limited and need to be reserved but the tour in your language happens every couple hours or so and with many language, of it is 70€ but to really get the feeling and understanding of the place, I think you need the guided tour. Our guide was not that enthusiastic but I guess this is in their mantra. Her English was good for conversation but maybe a bit lacking for this kind of guiding but this did not bother the group I was in. For some reason I was expecting more from what everyone I know who have been there where telling me about the feeling and all but maybe I just been to too many of similar place when I was in the military… definitely recommend to go there with your younger members of the family so that we never forget and don’t let the Israelis repeat the same thing now with the Palestinians
ADRENALINE D — Google review
A must visit, worth the day trip from Prague. We booked the tour online in advance but they didn’t even check the reservation. The guided tour was nice, if you don’t do it I’m not sure how you’d get information on the buildings as there is very little signage. They do run 4 or 5 tours at the same time, just in different languages. This means it’s quite crowded. It would be better if they staggered the times. They offer tours in many languages, and your entrance ticket here works in numerous other sights throughout the town as well.

Events that happened here shouldn't be forgotten. I appreciate how places like these remind us to never let these things happen again. Although, Theresienstadt wasn't really an extermination camp it reminds us of how much suffering humans can inflict on one another.
