What an incredible place. It's mind-blowing the exhibits on display. Wild, varied and so many !!! You can view it all in a few hours but for sure take a day out to go to this mind bending place. The Concorde and the Kondcordski Tuplolv tu144 are magnificent. Scary climbing up the stairs and the tilt is a bit steep but well worth going. The cars also , so many cool cars, from supercars, to pre war to hot rods. Exhibits on race cars, a cool display of F1 cars. They also have a Great shop . Deffo pace yourself and take time !! They also have another museum called technik Speyer ... That has the Russian Space shuttle the Buran !!!

Absolutely amazing experience, with the U-boat, Tupolev and Concorde as the major highlight. Do not miss this if you have the opportunity. Expect to spend between 2 and 4 hours. Good - experience some of the most amazing vehicles from up close. - build as an experience - there is actually too much too see - themed areas and some paid interactive displays.
AQ — Google review
One of the most fascinating museums l've ever been to because of its absolute mint condition of trains, planes and automobiles :) Expect to spend a few hours to a whole day to fully enjoy this huge museum! Very special to see in person was the supersonic airplanes …Concorde and Russian tupolev (Tu-144) and a real U-boat !! (Line ups may vary from 10min to 1hour) Great collection of Lambo’s, Ferrari’s and of course every classic German sports cars. Lots of outdoor parking (5.00€ ) Bonus: some of the special collection exhibits are interactive by putting 2€ coin fee which gives you a great real life example of a steam locomotive wheels in action with sounds, very impressive so just do it !
Keith W — Google review
We've been wanting to go here for a few years as we passed it on the way to someplace else. So much to see and really loved walking inside the Concorde jet and the U boat. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was busy but not too bad. Parking is 5 euros. Lots of cars, tanks, motorcycles and more. Great for a family to spend a half day and the playground was fantastic with rides too.
Kasia M — Google review
Great, but it could be so much better. There are some amazing exhibits here, but they're displayed in a ramshackle and random manner. Having the planes at stage angles must have seemed like a good idea (maybe after a beer or two), but I think they'd be better level allowing people to walk through easily and concentrateon looking at the interiors fully.. Information on some of the exhibits is sparse or cut-and-paste from others. It is certainly worth a visit, but it has the potential to be absolutely amazing.

Most fascinating museum I've ever been to. To actually enter a Concorde was a blast. Definitely spending a whole day the next time. Absolutely a family experience. Very nice staff. So much to see and explore.

Heidelberg Castle

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Museum
Heidelberg Castle, a 16th-century red sandstone fortress, stands proudly on a hillside overlooking the Altstadt and the Neckar River. Visitors can enjoy guided tours of the castle's interior and marvel at its Renaissance architecture. The castle is accessible via a steep cobbled trail or by taking the Bergbahn cogwheel train from Kornmarkt station.
We took the fernicular up and the ticket included entrance to the castle courtyard, big wine barrel and apothecary museum. If those things don't interest you and you don't mind walking a steep incline to get there, you can explore the castle grounds for free - most of the interior is not accessible to visitors, anyway. There's plenty to see outside, including beautiful views of the river and the old town.
Amy T — Google review
Dating back to the 13th century, this castle is impressive and has a unique architectural character compared with other castles. Several sections have been carefully restored, while others are intentionally kept as ruins, which adds to its atmosphere. You can visit a fascinating pharmacy laboratory museum inside, though access to the other interior areas is unfortunately restricted. The grounds include an enormous garden and provide breathtaking views of the city. Entrance fee is 11,00 € for adults. Walking through the castle and soaking up its centuries-old history was an unforgettable experience.
Evren B — Google review
Very beautiful view over the whole city including the hills, the river, and a breathtaking sunset in the horizon. The garden is sooo big and “instagrammable” with many spots for selfies and photos. The castle is not big but has a beautiful winery, restaurant, small museum, beautiful facade, but most importantly an amazing high terrace overlooking the city. The tickets include a ride on the cable tramway taking you all the way to the tip of the mountain. A beautiful ride and nice view.

Absolutely beautiful place! The views over Heidelberg are stunning, and the castle itself is full of history and charm. Great mix of ruins and restored areas, with lots to explore. A must-see if you’re in the area! The bergbahn is really close by too if you have tickets to go back into altstadt

This castle truly has a mystic vibe to it! The red-brick theme, and the fact that its in ruins but still very well maintained adds to its appeal. Highly recommend visiting in fall/autumn as it looks super aesthetic with the green-yellow-red-brown leaves all around the magnificent castle! We didn't go inside but just taking a stroll around it and outside was super beautiful and makes for a good outing in Heidelberg!

Visiting Heidelberg Castle felt like stepping into a storybook. The walk up is a bit steep, but completely worth it for the stunning views over the city and the Neckar River. The castle itself has a beautiful mix of grandeur and ruin, which gives it so much character and history. I especially enjoyed wandering through the gardens and taking in the scenery. My recommendation is to take your time and just enjoy the atmosphere as well as to go before the sunset. Highly recommended!
A. K — Google review
Highly Recommend 👌👌👌 Heidelberg Castle is absolutely worth a visit! The views over the city and river are breathtaking, and the mix of old architecture and history makes it special. Don’t miss the giant wine barrel or the Pharmacy Museum. Go at sunset for amazing photos. The only problem is parking especially on the weekends, this place is crowded with visitors.

Bridge

The Old Bridge Heidelberg, constructed in 1788, is an iconic pedestrian bridge that offers stunning views of the city's landmarks. It connects the Neckar River to Neuenheim Old Town and is made of classic red sandstone. The bridge leads to the romantic ruins of an old castle that once served as a heavily fortified Gothic stronghold and later as one of Germany's most magnificent residences. Unfortunately, much of the structure was destroyed during wars in the 17th century and never rebuilt.
The old bridge of Heidelberg is one of the most rated tourist attraction and is worth the walk. The bridge is located across the river and overlooking the castle. You need to visit both in the day and in the night to experience the view of the castle. The scenery is really beautiful and picturesque. The walk to the old town surrounded by restaurants me the walk even special.

The Old Bridge in Heidelberg is simply stunning, no matter the weather. I visited on a cloudy, rainy day and it still took my breath away — the views of the Neckar River, the castle on the hill, and the Altstadt are just magical. The bridge itself has so much charm and character, with its stone arches and historic vibe. It’s a perfect spot for a quiet walk, photos, or just taking in the atmosphere of the city. A must-see if you’re in Heidelberg — it really captures the spirit of the place.

This bridge looks good and walking on the also give good view for your eyes. Not crowded. River view is really good from the this bridge. It’s paved with stone. Entrance has big towers that add on to good view. But this only on south side of the bridge. Really worth to visit this bridge. In autumn season will get nice view of castle.

Since I was a little child (and watch “Hallo Onkel Doc”) I wanted to come to Heidelberg and see this bridge and enjoy the view from there towards the castle. And it did not disappoint! Although it is covered with tourists, it spoils one with history, stunning architecture (the bridge itself as well as buildings around ) and amazing views across the Neckar.

The walk around the town walls is great to do around sunset, it wasn't very busy whilst we walked the walls and gave great views of the Rothenberg rooftops. Whilst walking the walls look out for names on stones that are set into the walls, these are the names of people from around the world that have brought a section of the wall to help fund the restoration and upkeep of the town. Walking the walls is free to do so well worth a visit!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wertheim Village is a fantastic destination for outlet shopping — clean, beautifully designed, and home to a wide range of premium and luxury brands. Whether you’re here for fashion, accessories, or homeware, there’s something for everyone. One standout feature is the excellent concierge service. You can have your shopping bags sent directly to the concierge for collection later, which makes for a much more comfortable and hands-free shopping experience. It’s a thoughtful touch that adds real convenience, especially if you’re planning a full day here. The facilities are equally impressive. The toilets are beautifully maintained and clearly built with comfort in mind — spacious, clean, and even stylish, which is rare for outlet malls. Overall, Wertheim Village delivers a premium shopping experience that’s a cut above the usual outlets. Highly recommended for a day of relaxed, high-quality retail therapy.

Great outlet shopping experience. This outlet is a bit far away from the Frankfurt CBD area if you take a train and bus to get there. Luckily, I found and booked their shuttle bus to get there; it was so convincing. The only comment for their shuttle bus is that the return time is a bit early, at 3:25 PM. This is a beautiful countryside outlet, with a nice view, and many famous shops with great discounts. Their Italian restaurant is quite good. But their waffle shop at the corner is a nightmare; it is cold and not good. And during the trip with the shuttle bus, you can also see a fantastic view.

Old Main Bridge – Simple, Peaceful, Timeless I didn’t cross the bridge, just saw it from the riverbank — and honestly, that was enough. The red stone arches, the quiet flow of the Main, and the reflections in the water made for such a peaceful moment. It’s not flashy, but it has this calm, old-world charm. Perfect spot for a slow walk, a photo, or just to sit and breathe for a bit.

Excellent place to stand and people watch. The were having a fair so the town was overflowing with beautiful people. The promenade along the canal is perfect for a lovely stroll and a glass.

Great place for a pedestrian bridge. Watch the locks and dams move boats up and down the river and people from shore to shore. The statues and hanging baskets are a nice touch. The benches are an invitation to enjoy the views in all directions. This is a very historic structure. The bars and rearraunts at both ends are good also.

This bridge is very popular for sipping wine with the Main river and Bineyard view. Even though it is nout that much architecturally decorated comapred to other bridge in Germany, the view is surreal.

Würzburg is such a charming city, and this bridge is truly the heart of that charm. Grabbing a glass (or two) of wine and watching the sunset here is an experience you shouldn’t miss. The atmosphere is amazing — people chatting, laughing, enjoying the moment together. It’s lively but relaxed, full of warmth and good energy. Absolutely beautiful and priceless experience! Pro tip: buy some olives from a nearby store and take that hedonism to the max...

One of the most iconic attractions in Wurtzburg, the bridge’s architectural style with massive statues tucked in niches resembles closely with Charles Bridge in Prague. Both are really gorgeous pedestrian bridges with splendid views from the bridge and of the bridge from shores. Similarity continues in number of tourists and locals crossing them. I have had opportunity to cross the bridge in the morning before local winery stand opens and in afternoon. Much more palatable in the morning. After wine stand opens, the bridge becomes really congested and hard to cross.

This is the main attraction of Würzburg. In the evenings, many locals and tourists gather. Everyone tastes the famous local wine. Beautiful views of the city, the fortress and the river. You don't want to leave this bridge!
Valeriy V — Google review
One of the most breathtaking spots in Würzburg — absolutely surreal views! The bridge next to the Rathaus is hands down one of the city’s highlights. Standing here gives you this postcard-perfect view of the old town on one side and the Marienberg Fortress towering above the vineyards on the other. When the sun hits the castle in the late afternoon, the whole scene looks unreal — like something out of a fantasy movie. It’s also a great spot for photos. You get wide angles of the Main River, the historic skyline, and that classic Würzburg charm all in one frame. Whether you’re shooting on an iPhone or a pro camera, this bridge basically does the work for you. There’s usually a lively atmosphere with people enjoying a drink and soaking in the view, but it never feels overwhelming. If you’re exploring Würzburg, this is the place you must stop — the kind of view you remember long after the trip.

Würzburg Residence

Mentioned on 
+45 other lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Historical landmark
The Würzburg Residence is a must-see attraction in the city, known for its opulent 18th-century palace and formal gardens. This UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases magnificent Baroque architecture and lush surroundings. The palace, built between 1719 and 1744 under the patronage of the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg, boasts intricate stuccoes, lavish furnishings, and an impressive fresco by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.
Gorgeous rococo. Twice a day English tours but the tour is not really necessary. The small von Wagner museum is worth a quick stop (it's free) and the church is small but pretty. There is a tourist town bus that stops outside the Residence during summer months. There are no online tickets sales or time slots.
Kate J — Google review
The decorations were wonderful, and the optical illusions on the ceiling were so impressive that I could have mistaken them for real sculptors. I took a guided tour in English, and they explained every detail, which was very educational. Towards the end of the tour, there were photos of the building that were devastated during World War II, and I was impressed by how well it had been restored.
Taka N — Google review
An absolute masterpiece — easily one of the most breathtaking palaces in all of Germany. The Würzburg Residence is the kind of place that stops you in your tracks the moment you walk in. Even if you’ve visited other European palaces, this one has a unique elegance — a perfect blend of Bavarian grandeur, Italian influence, and French sophistication. The scale, the symmetry, the attention to detail… everything feels world-class. The highlight is undeniably the grand staircase with Tiepolo’s famous ceiling fresco. It’s massive, vibrant, and so full of movement that you could stare at it for ages. The fact that it survived WWII feels almost miraculous. Every room that follows — from the mirrored hall to the intricate salons — feels like stepping deeper into a story where every wall, every frame, every piece of décor has something to say. The flow of the visit is smooth, the staff are friendly, and the signage makes it easy to understand the historical context without feeling overwhelmed. Photography restrictions apply in some areas, but honestly, that makes you focus on the craft and artistry even more. The gardens are another highlight. Perfectly manicured and incredibly serene, they create a stunning contrast with the palace’s ornate interior. If the weather is good, take your time — the angles for photos are endless. In spring and summer, it’s absolutely magical. Overall, the Würzburg Residence is a must-visit. It’s grand, inspiring, beautifully preserved, and one of the crown jewels of Franconian history. A true UNESCO treasure and an unforgettable experience.

The Würzburg Residence is an absolute marvel—both architecturally and atmospherically. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it stuns with its grandeur even before you step inside. The perfectly symmetrical façade, elegant domes, and sweeping gardens immediately signal that you’ve arrived somewhere truly special. Inside, the lavish interiors are almost overwhelming in their beauty. The Baroque and Rococo details, particularly in the chapel and ceremonial rooms, are full of intricate marble, gold leaf, and awe-inspiring ceiling frescoes. You could stand there for hours just admiring the craftsmanship. But what truly sets this place apart is the Residence Garden. It’s a quiet sanctuary right in the heart of the city. The sculpted hedges, fountains, and graceful statues are all arranged with such harmony that walking through the paths feels like stepping into a painting. Whether you’re sitting in the shade of an old tree or admiring the palace from behind a leafy arch, there’s a calming elegance to every corner. This is not just a site for history or art lovers—it’s a peaceful escape where you can slow down, breathe, and enjoy beauty at your own pace.

This is a unesco world heritage site. Very well maintained especially given that it was damaged during the second world war. The key highlights are the glass room, ceiling art and the gardens. The total visit time would be 2-3 hrs. Do spend time in the gardens. The rooms can feel repetitive after a while with the same greek themed tapestries

Marvelous piece of man made wonder. Gigantic, rusty and majestic. Nice to trek with the family and have excellent opportunity to explore the nature. From HBF, you can take tram 4 to wilhelmspark and from there either ride with bus line 23 untill Herkules or trek the 3 odd kilometers. Also there are parking opportunities near wilhelmspark tram station but it's filled quickly on Wasserspiel days (Sundays, Wednesdays and public holidays in summer). Worth and recommended.

Wartburg

Mentioned on

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Wartburg is a medieval castle located in Eisenach, Germany, set on a high rock surrounded by parkland. This UNESCO-listed site has played a significant role in German history for over a millennium. It was at Wartburg where Martin Luther translated the New Testament and codified the written German language while under papal ban. The castle's construction dates back to 1067 and has undergone various changes over the centuries, reflecting the region's cultural shifts.
Can be accessed by car, there is a parking lot next to it. If you are out of luck as we were there are additional parking spots in the city below with busses riding to the castle. You can also take one of the hiking trails that offer a lot of scenic views. The castle itself is well preserved, there is an armory to visit and a tower to see everything around. Definitely worth seeing if you are around. Additionally I only noticed it recently but at the start this castle is shown in the LP music clip One last time.
Maciej P — Google review
Interesting castle, not the best I have seen, but quite big and equipped. Short tour thru the living quarters in the castle, bit about the Martin Luter history and nice viewing point. Overall I expected more interesting place than it actually was. Small parking at the bottom of the hill with short walk up, or shuttle bus ride. Worth visiting, but bit disappointing.

Wonderful location and views from the castle. The historical tour is very interesting and the preservation and restoration of the chambers is top notch. It is also a historical site for christians, as Martin Luther started the translation to the New Testament in this castle. You can see the room in which he was working.

We visited Wartburg during the Christmas season. Getting up to the castle was quite a trek - it's a long and challenging walk uphill, so be prepared if you're not in good shape! It was also very cold and windy at the top of the mountain. The Christmas market was extremely crowded, so unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to properly explore it. We also found it a bit difficult to find the castle entrance as there weren't clear signs outside. However, the guided tour inside was excellent! The guide shared the castle's history along with interesting stories and fun facts. Before leaving, we even enjoyed some live music in the upper part of the castle.

Lest you miss it at the Wartburg: The triptych of the 3 successive electors by Lucas Cranach depicts a pivotal part of German and European history. The central position is held by Frederick the Wise, Duke of Saxony, arch marshall and elector of emperor Charles V, having refused his own candidacy. Frederick holds the vice regal crown of Germany during the absence of the emperor. His brother John (l) followed, and the latter's son John Frederick (r) fought against emperor and pope for the new church. (JF was brother-in-law to Kg Henry VIII for a short while by the Cleve sisters.)
Hans G — Google review
The trekking routes around and on the way to the castle have some of the visually stunning vistas of the Thüringen wilderness. The city of Eisenach looks quite stunning along the way as well. I'd definitely recommend the trek to the castle along from the other side of another hill.

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,

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!

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

Beautiful castle with spectacular views of Wernigerode and Harz mountains. Very busy during my visit & somewhat disorganized.

But, still a nice place to visit.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Heide Park Resort

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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 ! 🙂

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.

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 is a must-visit attraction in Hamburg, featuring the world's largest model train exhibit.

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.

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.
Dorottya-Agota S — Google review
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.
Micah R — Google review
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.

Museum Holstentor is a fully restored Medieval gate in Lubeck, Germany, which now houses a museum dedicated to the city's history. Dating back to 1477, this iconic Gothic-style gate marks the western end of the former Hanseatic City and is recognized as one of the most visited sites in the country. The gate features two rounded towers and a block in the middle that appear as a single structure from one side but can be differentiated from another.
Beautiful, historic, serene place to walk around. Lots of transport nearly, you can get here but a bus or the main Lubeck central station is about a 5 minute walk only. Recommended..!

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!

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.

A worthy memorial and museum for sailers in WW1 and WW2. Nice view on the top, and U-996 was cool to walk through.

It was a great hike (Tour 5) that we did. I really like the rugged and wild coast there. You should plan on spending half a day there, but more is fine too. From the seaside it is also amazing, tours are starting from Klintholm Havn

No wonder it has became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stunning natural wonder, with a Museum and activities that allows you to understand the factors behind this wonder. We also did the Tour 5, with two kids, 6 and 8. Smaller kids could also do it, bit forget about Strollers.

I can highly recommend the Geocenter. In combination with a walk/hike at the cliffs, a very exiting and diverse day. The museum is very interactive, interesting and family friendly. When you are interested a bit in geology and nature, you will like it. Parking is 6 Euro per day, the entrance is a bit expensive but worth it.

One of the most visited sites in Denmark - for a reason. A great geological site to bring your kids for an exiting hike and experience. Look for fossils on the beach or awe the 70 million year old limestone cliffs raise from the sea.

Roskilde Cathedral

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Roskilde Cathedral, a 12th-century Gothic brick cathedral in Denmark, is a significant monument due to its unique architecture and historical importance. It is the first brick-built Gothic-style cathedral in Scandinavia and has evolved over 800 years to reflect changing architectural styles. The cathedral serves as the royal family's burial church, housing the tombs of numerous kings and queens. Visitors can explore its imposing exteriors and interiors while learning about Danish history.
You have to visit Roskilde Cathedral! Its amazing brickwork and unique style are so impressive, but the history inside is even better. Exploring the royal tombs is truly fascinating – especially look for the hidden tombstone of the three-legged horse and other cool myths surrounding the royal burials! The stunning Antwerp altarpiece and detailed royal tombs are also a beautiful sight. It was a fantastic visit, totally worth your time to discover its secrets!

As a history enthusiast, I was absolutely blown away by Roskilde Cathedral. This UNESCO World Heritage site is not just a stunning architectural marvel, but a living timeline of Danish royal history. Touring it with Ophelia Tours made the experience even more unforgettable - our guide Rene was knowledgeable, passionate, and made the entire visit engaging and fun. The cathedral’s sheer historical significance is staggering. It’s the final resting place of over 40 Danish monarchs, including Queen Margrethe I and King Christian IV. Walking through its chapels feels like stepping back in time - each one reflects the artistic styles and political shifts of the era in which it was built. From Gothic to Baroque to Renaissance, the cathedral is a tapestry of over 800 years of Danish history. The detail inside is breathtaking. The intricate tombs, the majestic organ, the soaring vaulted ceilings, and the peaceful crypts all tell powerful stories. I especially loved learning how the cathedral evolved over time and seeing how each generation left its mark - something you rarely get to witness so vividly in one place. Roskilde itself is a charming town, full of cozy streets, great cafés, and a welcoming vibe. It made the perfect day trip from Copenhagen - peaceful, beautiful, and rich with history. Highly recommend both the cathedral and Ophelia Tours. This was truly a highlight of our Denmark trip!

Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. Today we celebrate its 30yrs. Very much worth a visit. Roskilde Cathedral is one of the most meaningful places to visit in Denmark, see a thousand years of Royal history, architectural masterpieces and art. Parking: limited parking available, 2hrs free parking and there will be a charge after that. Toilet is available inside the cathedral Disability access: may be a bit challenging as most areas have stairs. But may go around the plain floored part of the cathedral Original structure: Began as a church built by King Harald Bluetooth around 980 AD (made of wood). • The current brick cathedral replaced the earlier church around 1170–1280. • It was one of the first Gothic-style cathedrals in Scandinavia, built mainly from red brick, influencing church architecture across Northern Europe. 👑 Royal Burial Site • Since the 15th century, Roskilde Cathedral has been the main burial site for Danish monarchs. • Over 40 Danish kings and queens are buried here — including: • Queen Margrethe I (founder of the Kalmar Union) • King Christian IV • King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid • Future monarchs, like Queen Margrethe II, also have tombs prepared there - refer to last photos Inside the Cathedral • Richly decorated altars, frescoes, and royal sarcophagi. • Features impressive organ pipes and historic tombs made of marble and alabaster. • Each royal chapel is unique, showing how Danish art and architecture evolved through the centuries.

A true marvel of a cathedral, a burial place for many Danish kings. We took a tour that took as to the cathedral on a bus. We arrived right before the opening, and the whole place without crowds that appeared a short while later. The place is rich in history but a tour guide really helps to appreciate that. Otherwise it may look like a regular church.

A really cool spot to learn more about the Danish royal family! It is like a museum where you can read about the lives of those laid to rest there. Beautiful architecture and artwork.

I live in Rome. Many people from all over the world come here. I know our beauties, yet Roskilde Cathedral is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. It's full of imposing, celebratory monuments. What you feel, standing there, is the solemnity of the Danish kingdom.

This cathedral is definitely worth visiting. The interior architectural is beautiful and this place holds so many of the kings grave and they are so beautiful!!! The entrance ticket is also more reasonable than the other places of interest...

Not far from the Roskilde Station. Going into Roskilde Cathedral feels like walking straight into the past. This is where Danish kings and queens have been buried for hundreds of years. You'll walk past royal tombs some in fancy and beautiful stone bed for a queen or king. The real "design" highlight is the royal chapels, which are like small museums themselves. Each one was built in a different time period, so you see everything from medieval wall paintings to huge, dramatic Baroque and Renaissance tombs.

Viking Ship Museum

Archaeological museum
Museums
The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, Denmark, offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient and medieval maritime culture. The museum is home to five remarkably well-preserved Viking ships that were excavated at Skuldelev and date back to the 11th century. Visitors can explore original 1,000-year-old Viking ships as well as exact replicas at the museum harbor.
An unforgettable experience for anyone who loves Norse history and mythology! The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde is not just a museum - it’s a journey into the heart of the Viking world. Standing face to face with actual ships that once sailed the seas over a thousand years ago gave me chills. These vessels, recovered from the Roskilde Fjord, are deeply tied to the seafaring spirit of the Norse people. If you're passionate about Nordic mythology, this place is a dream. You can easily imagine these ships as the kind that carried warriors who worshipped Odin, sailed under Thor’s protection, and told tales of Loki’s mischief by the fire. The longships here evoke the legendary drakkars - dragon-headed ships said to sail across Midgard and into mythic battles. The museum also shows how real Viking life blended seamlessly with the mythological world. The sea wasn't just water - it was sacred and feared, ruled by gods and creatures from the sagas. The craftsmanship of the ships reflects this reverence. There are also live demonstrations of traditional boatbuilding using ancient tools, and you can even sail in replica Viking ships yourself - a truly immersive way to feel like part of a saga. Beautifully located on the fjord, this museum is a must-visit. Whether you're a history buff, a mythology lover, or both, this is one of the most inspiring and atmospheric museums in Denmark.

At the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, you’ll see the real Viking history — quite literally in pieces. The remains of five original Viking ships are displayed here, each with its own story of sea voyages, trade, and warfare. There are guided tours and activities running throughout the day, so it’s worth checking the schedule when you arrive. The guide shares the fascinating history behind the five ships that were discovered just a stone’s throw from here, in Roskilde Fjord. For those feeling hands-on, there’s a small workshop where you can try building your own miniature Viking ship. The kids especially loved hammering and sawing away. I had signed up for the sailing tour, where you get to sail on a Viking ship and even help raise the sail as part of the crew. Unfortunately, only four of us showed up out of the ten tickets sold — the rain kept the rest away. Without enough people for the weight balance, the trip had to be cancelled. Safe to say, I was pretty disappointed — it’s not every day you get to sail like a Viking. There’s also a restaurant by the museum. I tried the Viking platter — decent, but nothing to shout about.

Not far from the Copenhagen, about 30 mins train ride. Just a reminder, you have to walk about 30-40 mins from Roskilde Station to the Viking Museum. Arrived at the Roskilde Viking Ship Museum around mid morning. There are two areas: first inside the agreat Hall, you'll see the five ancient Skuldelev ships in somewhat in skeletons forms. You'll feel a quiet awe just looking at their thousand-year-old remains. Second part is the outside where you'll see a beautiful place view with tons of boats. Tons of things to do outside, you can watch boatbuilders meticulously crafting replica ships in the boatyard. You can also sail out on the fjord in one of the reconstructed longships, sadly no more available slots for the day. If you have the budget and you'd like to fully experience, I suggest to pre book before going. Since we went during summer (end of August) you are allowed to climb aboard other replicas at the harbor, even try on Viking clothes. Overall it's a full experience.

One of the most important attractions and museums during the visit to Copenhagen (40minutes by train). Staff are so welcoming with smile. Cinematography short movie in many languages will help a lot to understand the museum. The workshops outside will show you how the V-boats were built. Don’t miss it
Jean Z — Google review
A world-class and unique experience which is a must-visit if you're coming to Copenhagen as it's brilliant and only a 30-minute ride on the train (which is cheap and very frequent). See several recovered Viking long ships, discover about the different types and how they were built and used and then see expert craftspeople making replicas for experimental archaeology - sailing them to see how the Vikings would have used them. You can also become part of a crew in a small longboat close to the centre. And kids can design and make their own boat in wood with hand tools. Free tours in Danish and English by students are good and friendly. The venue hosts special exhibitions downstairs in the main hall. Several places to eat and drink on-site. Medium-size car park. If walking from the town train station, it's a pleasant and mostly flat walk. The shop has lots of Danish culture things to buy as well as stuff related to the Vikings. All staff friendly and helpful.

This museum is an incredible place filled with authentic Viking ships, fascinating artifacts, and tons of interesting facts about the Vikings. Both children and adults will find plenty to explore and enjoy. During my visit, there was a blacksmith workshop where a skilled craftsman demonstrated traditional forging techniques. There was also a shipbuilding area where craftsmen were using hand tools to build seaworthy Viking ships — a truly impressive sight. For kids, there’s a small hands-on workshop where they can build their own miniature ships from scrap wood and test them in a water pool. There’s also a replica of a Viking household, complete with Viking clothing you can try on and a play area for children. The museum also has an excellent restaurant with delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. And best of all — if the weather is good, you can join the crew of a real Viking ship replica and sail out to sea. An unforgettable experience!

I was a bit sceptical at first when i read its about one Viking boat restored. But there are 5 of them, and , whats more they have been fully rebuilt and are available even to step-in at the port next to the museum ! I learnt a lot from the short film in the museum. Go to the boat workshop at the port - they are just building a new boat, using old traditional tools, and you can chat with craftsmen. It was Worth a visit/trip from Copenhagen.

Roskilde Viking ship museum is a fantastic place. The museum has the excavated remains of Viking vessels, with activities for kids. Outside are reconstructed vessels and workshops where they are experimentally building new Viking vessels. Good facilities and cafes, free entry with a Copenhagen card and easily signposted from Roskilde train station. Well worth a visit.
