The Spitalturm, also known as the Hospital Tower, is the newest and tallest structure among the city fortifications of Rothenburg. Built between 1360 and 1380, it bears the inscription "Pax intrantibus, salus exeuntibus" which means "Peace to those who enter, greet those who leave.
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!

Perfect spot to get some of the initial views of Rothenburg; there's some stairs near the tower to get on top of the platform, and provide a lookout of the city from the southern end.

LEGOLAND Germany

Mentioned on

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Amusement park
LEGOLAND Germany is a family-friendly amusement park featuring thrilling rides and an aquarium, as well as impressive replicas of German landmarks constructed from LEGO bricks. Visitors can opt to stay at the LEGOLAND Hotels within the Holiday Village, which offers access to various amenities including restaurants, playgrounds, and a high ropes course. The park also provides opportunities for guests to observe the LEGO manufacturing process and create their own LEGO bricks. Additionally, there are water rides that offer an adrenaline rush.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 We had an amazing time at LEGOLAND Germany! The whole family enjoyed it from start to finish. October was a perfect time to visit—great weather and fun Halloween decorations throughout the park added to the magic. There were rides for all ages, and the kids especially loved the playgrounds and interactive areas. One of the smartest features: dedicated play zones near some of the rides so kids can stay entertained while adults wait in line—brilliant! The park layout is very manageable—flat and easy to walk without feeling exhausting. Bathrooms were accessible and food prices weren’t too crazy for a theme park, which was a pleasant surprise. All around, a fun and memorable family day. We’ll definitely be back (got the annual pass)!
Adriel R — Google review
A very successful experience for children aged 4-12. A large place with lots of options that are very difficult to complete in one day due to the long lines for most of the facilities. You have to arrive with a lot of patience. Overall, this is a park where the attractions themselves are not crazy, but the "wrapping" of Lego does its job. The place is very neat and clean and easy to navigate. Overall, this is a recommended day out for the family.
Yonatan A — Google review
This is in my opinion the best of the 3 Legoland parks in Europe. Everything is good value here, especially the food and the quality of said food is fantastic. I went into the pizza restaurant and paid around €16 for a fresh out of the oven pizza and amazing chocolate tart. They both felt like they came from an expensive restaurant, very tasty and beautiful presentation. You have the best selection of rides here from small to thrilling. A really good variety - the best being Maximus. An absolutely thrilling b&m coaster which despite the short ride time, offers some incredible moments of weightlessness. The park is kept tidy and clean - the bathrooms are cleaned very regularly. Queues are managed well and have the bonus of single rider if you're a lone traveller like me. Saves a lot of time. Theres a few little themed shops dotted around and although a couple were closed on my trip due to the time of year possibly, there's still a lot on offer. More than any other Lego park in Europe like I said. I had the best 2 days here and I can't wait to come back again.

We took the kids to Germany and our first stop before traditional castles and museums was Legoland Germany! We LOVED it. Drove straight from airport to the hotel (we stayed at the Pirate Hotel), checked in, then did a full afternoon and evening till close. We ate at the steak restaurant near hotels and onsite for snacks, lunch, etc. We prepaid for breakfast at Pirate hotel. Because of birthdays, we did the birthday package (they decorated the room and more) and because tip mattered we did the VIP package. THIS was worth every penny! We skipped the line at every ride, got extra swag & mini figures, and store discounts [don’t forget to ask for tax refund forms at the store (typically 100 or more spent)]. The staff are awesome and most are bilingual if you are rusty. If you are a LEGO fan or traveling Germany with kids, this place is worth every penny! For the super fans, they had themes we found no where else (e.g. adventure series at the log ride); and rides that are not found at the US Legolands. Augsburg and Ulm are nearby if you need a culture/ museum break.

We spent lovely 2days here, great experience for us, adults and our kids. We had lovely weather, so a lot of people arrived, and some attractions were crowded, and we had to wait. Luckily it was just occasionally. Plus was Halloween decorations and products that can bring home🎃🎃 Thank you, will come again.

Great place for young kids . We spent one day there , 2 would have been better as we didn’t see everything. Very reasonable as once you pay all the rides are free . Ideal kids age 5-12.

An absolute dream holiday location for my family and I. My son and daughter loved it, the rides were great, food was good and queues were decent. Staff were very friendly, parking wasn't an issue and having Peppa Pig Park right next door made it ideal for my 2 year old daughter too! It was also great fun for my wife and I. Unforgettable memories were made and we cannot wait to visit once again!
David C — Google review
If you or your kids like LEGO then you must visit, the place is huge and there are a lot of activities for all ages. To really cover it you need at least 2 days to get on most of the rides. The only downside is the large ques that form so you don't like to wait a lot then maybe pay more for the express pass. You can also get tickets online for both the park and the parking which I recommend to save some time.

Ulm Minster

Mentioned on 
+25 other lists 
Lutheran church
Sights & Landmarks
The Ulmer Münster is a Lutheran church built in Gothic style, located in the heart of Ulm City. It boasts the world's tallest steeple at 161.53 meters high and features an impressive carved choir. The church is considered a must-visit landmark in Germany, offering visitors a glimpse into the Middle Ages with its lovely Gothic architecture.
I visited the Ulm Minster on my birthday and it was such a special experience. The structure is absolutely breathtaking – you can’t help but be amazed by how tall and detailed it is. I found out it’s actually the tallest church in the world, with a spire reaching about 161 meters high! It took several centuries to complete, starting in the 14th century and finally finishing in the late 1800s. Walking around the cathedral, I was blown away by the gothic architecture and how well-preserved everything is. The inside is peaceful and beautiful, and just standing there made me feel so small in the best way. I didn’t climb the tower this time, but even from the outside, it’s super impressive. If you’re ever in Ulm, you must visit this place. It made my birthday truly memorable. Totally worth it! 😊
Pankaj S — Google review
Every nice church. This church has the tallest tower in the world. You can pay 7 Euros and walk all the way to the top. Please ensure that you are semi fit....it is a long and winding staircase of over 750 steps. But the view is worth it. They are currently doing some restorations to the church so please bear with the noise.
Lewis M — Google review
Ulm Minster is breathtaking both inside and out. The Gothic architecture is incredibly detailed, and the interior is full of history — especially the 15th-century choir stalls with their intricate wood carvings. The highlight, of course, is climbing the tallest church spire in the world. It’s 768 steps up a narrow staircase, but the panoramic view over the city and, on clear days, even the Alps, makes it worth every step. Inside, the atmosphere is peaceful and bright, with beautiful stained-glass windows and an impressive organ. The Münsterplatz around the church is also lively, with cafés and markets (the Christmas market here is fantastic). Be prepared: the tower climb is steep and not for everyone, but if you can manage it, it’s unforgettable. Overall, Ulm Minster is one of Germany’s greatest landmarks. Highly recommended!

Ulm Minster is an awe-inspiring masterpiece of Gothic architecture and holds the distinction of having the 2nd tallest church tower in the world. Standing at 161.53 meters. It's interior is very impressive and magnificent with stained glass window and majestic Hall.
Sarath P — Google review
Ulm Minster is an absolute must-see — not only for its record-breaking spire, but also for the sense of calm and beauty it offers. It’s very easy to reach, just a short and pleasant walk from Ulm’s main train station through the charming old town. When I visited, there was some ongoing renovation work, with padding and scaffolding around the front and upper sections, which did slightly spoil the full view of the façade. However, the minor distraction did not take away from the overall experience — once you step inside, the atmosphere completely changes. The city’s noise fades away, replaced by a deep sense of peace and stillness. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a quiet moment of reflection, Ulm Minster is a beautiful and easily accessible place to visit.

Breitachklamm

Mentioned on 
16 lists 
Hiking area
Nature & Parks
Breitachklamm is a must-see natural wonder in Oberstdorf, Germany. It's the deepest rock canyon in Central Europe and offers stunning views of raging white water in summer and frozen waterfalls in winter. The hike through the gorge takes about 1.5 hours and features well-maintained trails, wooden walkways, and bridges for safe crossing. Visitors can explore the visitor center with geology exhibits and enjoy breathtaking scenery from viewing platforms along the way.
This place is an absolute heaven! The entrance ticket costs €7.50 per person, and I highly recommend going as early as possible—the crowd is much smaller before 9:45 AM. After that, it gets quite busy, and you might have to wait in line for tickets. The trek itself is stunning, with beautiful scenery all along the way. There's just one challenging part—after the river ends, there’s a steep incline. If you’re not up for the climb, you can easily turn back at that point and still enjoy most of the experience. Overall, it’s an amazing spot and definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!
Unnati G — Google review
This is an incredible place to visit. The walk in the gorge where you can see how high the water has been and how it cuts into the walls. Look up for some giant boulders caught above the gorge
Brian G — Google review
This is a fantastic gorge to be explored by everybody. The pathway is broad enough to have two big guys walk abreast. There are no stairs or steps until the exit, and it makes sense to transverse the gorge twice to see it from two sides. The entire path within the gorge is nicely surfaced with concrete and very sturdy so slips are unlikely. On weekends, thousands of people visit, so buying a ticket online is recommended.
Lars L — Google review
Paid 4 euros for the parking and about 7 to go in. You can see the place is being taken care of for the entrance price and the small hike is beautiful. I do recommend doing it a bit early though (around 10 AM was perfect for us), because it can become quite crowded.
Maxime F — Google review
Breitachklamm is an absolutely stunning natural wonder and a must-visit for anyone who loves hiking or simply enjoying the outdoors. The walking trails through the gorge are well-maintained and offer incredible views of the rushing stream below. You can feel the power of the water as it cascades through the narrow rock walls, creating a dramatic and refreshing atmosphere. The area around the stream is peaceful and beautifully green, with plenty of spots to stop, take photos, or just admire the scenery. Whether you’re looking for a short, easy walk or a longer hike connecting to nearby trails, Breitachklamm offers a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility. Word of caution - Be careful in some of the rocky areas, as the ceilings can be low and it’s easy to bump your head. Good shoes and a bit of caution make the walk much more enjoyable! Tickets cost around €7.50 and can be purchased conveniently at the reception counter or online in advance.
Girish V — Google review
Beautiful river and waterfalls, but… Definitely be aware it’s a super touristy place. If you’re going with a big dog: the paths are very small and there’s people turning around and going back. Also there’s a rather paw unfriendly stair with gauze you have to climb if you follow the red route. 😬 I didn’t really enjoy visiting this place because it was crowded, just too many people constantly, everywhere. The staff at the restaurant at the entrance were friendly and the food was good! Nonetheless, it’s definitely an unique place.
Lizzy H — Google review
Highly recommend. One of the most beautiful and gorgeous Gorges you will ever see. If you do it when it’s rainy it’s even more majestic. Rain makes the waterfall and experience more magical. 10/10 must do.
Hami Y — Google review
Nice gorge to go for a walk. I recommend coming very early since it gets really busy during the day.(Didn't forget to check the opening hours). With the ticket you can walk the gorge in both directions. So you can exit the gorge at the top and continue along the river and come back later to go back to the parking lot. I highly recommend continuing after the gorge and visiting one of the Hintere Engere Alpe (mountain restaurant).

Located in Friedrichshafen, Germany, the Zeppelin Museum is a top attraction that offers a rich display of exhibitions and art inspired by air travel. Housed in the historic Bauhaus building of the former harbor railway station, this museum is dedicated to showcasing the history of airship travel through an extensive collection of over 1500 unique items and historical multimedia resources. One of its main highlights includes the partial restoration of LZ 129 Hindenburg.
Wow! It was a very educational museum! I had always wondered how airships were made and how they worked, and this museum taught me everything! They even had a model of one of the airships, it really felt like I was in one! It wasn’t too crowded, and there were a lot of very cool models and pictures to observe. They had some artifacts from the crash as well. I will definitely be coming back.

this is one of the must visit place when in Friedrichshafen. there are so many exhibits for aviation and it was a spacious and huge museum to move around.

Awesome and completely unexpected visit. I was in the area for work and came across this museum in the late afternoon. Tickets were disconted as there want much time left open but we got around and learned a lot about these awesome airships! Really informative museum and well worth a visit. I expect this is a huge draw after going.

The museum is certainly interesting. Although I expected more. There is a feeling that some exhibitions were created just to fill empty space. The exhibition is very strangely organized. It is difficult to immerse yourself in the topic because everything is simply scattered thematically.

Bregenzer Festspiele

Festival
Sights & Landmarks
Bregenzer Festspiele is a must-visit event that takes place every second year, offering a stunning atmosphere and a great show. It features wonderful open-air operas like Madame Butterfly, providing an impressive performance in each act. The festival offers a unique Austrian experience with its outdoor dining options and top-rated restaurants serving Italian cuisine, pizza, and more. This cultural extravaganza is highly recommended for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the arts during the summer months in Bregenz.
Saw Der Freischütz at the Bregenzer Festspiele this July and it was absolutely breathtaking. The lake stage, the visuals, the music, everything was so powerful and beautifully done. I didn’t expect to get so emotional, but the story and performances really pulled me in. Even though it was 2 hours straight with no intermission, it never felt long. Such a unique and unforgettable experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Fatima S — Google review
You have to distinguish between the creative aspects of the Bregenzer Festspiele and the guest experience. The first is worthy of its reputation, the latter is amateurish. The stage, the singing, the costumes, the location are all beyond criticism. I've been four times and, even as someone with no interest in opera, the performance has always been a rewarding experience. Your enjoyment thereof is however undermined by neglected basics: the lack of toilets is laughable (allow 20 minutes of queueing for the gents); the hard, narrow plastic seats hurt within 45 minutes; the view is always seriously obstructed because the raking is too flat. By far the biggest flaw is the audio: it is quiet and unclear. The warning about phone use is loud and clear, but then the dialog/singing is indiscernible. Most guests are left reading the subtitles, from which random sentences are missing. Comparable outdoor stages better understand that what happens on stage is only part of the experience. So the Bregenzer Festspiele is a worthwhile experience, if you have realistic expectations - this is not simply a pleasurable night at the theater.

I am visiting the festival next once every two years for the last 12 years and have never been disappointed. I would recommend to buy premium tickets that include a seat inside in case of the opera having to be moved due to bad weather. Also arriving early and exploring Bregenz beforehand is a good idea as Bregenz alone is worth a visit.

We visited “The Freischütz” by Carl Maria von Weber, which is considered a key work of the German romantic opera. We can highly recommend it: amazing, very elaborate decorations built on the lake, great music and singing, large cast, lots of special effects and overall an outstanding performance. The story takes place in a rural German village. Max, a young forester, must win a shooting contest to marry Agathe, the daughter of the head forester, Kuno. However, Max has lost his confidence after a series of failures. In desperation, he turns to Kaspar, another forester who has secretly made a pact with dark forces. Kaspar convinces Max to cast "magic bullets" in the haunted Wolf’s Glen at midnight. These bullets are supposed to never miss their target, but the last bullet is controlled by the devil. At the contest, Max fires his final bullet at a target meant for the competition — but the bullet, influenced by evil, instead aims at Agathe. Miraculously, she is saved by a sacred wreath she wears, and Kaspar is struck down instead. In the end, Max confesses his actions. Rather than being punished severely, he is given a year to prove his worth, after which he may marry Agathe. The opera blends elements of folklore, supernatural horror, love, and redemption, and is known for its vivid atmosphere, especially the eerie Wolf’s Glen scene.

A beautiful place and a fantastic venue, I am here most years for the opera and it never fails to enchant me. It's a very special place and a beautiful lake to go with, I would visit every year and every year again. Food is superb, try the local beer Moran, wine is good value and very tasty, you should come to Bregenz and have a fantastic time, 2 to 3 days is perfect. Enjoy

This has been on my bucket list since I found out about an amphitheater on Lake Constanz! It did not disappoint! Performance: We saw "Der Freischütz" (The Marksman) by Carl Maria von Weber. While it was in German, the story was easy to follow, except perhaps the ending, which was unexpected for me. The actors were amazing, especially when working in a stage with water throughout. Staging: The star of the show! A stage built on a lake with a lake on it. Dilapidated buildings illustrate the young Agathe's desperation to go anywhere else. The staging added to the morose nature of the setting. The use of fire and water defines the infernal struggle going on with Max as he tries to win Agathe's hand. Seating: Stage on the lake, seating on the land. It still had an intimate feeling with 7,000 seats. With the slope of the seating, there shouldn't have been a bad sight line. Although it can be a little intimidating for some. Therefore, if you are uncomfortable with height, choose seats in the lower rows. Another tip would be to bring a pad for your seat. Sitting for two or more hours on weather-resistant plastic seats can be uncomfortable. Theater: The theater was nicely laid out. The restrooms are clean. The lobby is well designed with easy access to amenities. The after show bars provided a nice area to discuss the show. It included special drinks for the festival! I was more than satisfied with my visit and enjoyed it immensely!

Disappointing. It is so overpriced for the variety of species you can see there. There is nothing special at all. It’s so small and that I really couldnt believe that was all.

I had an okay experience at the aquarium. While there were lots of fish to see, I felt bad for the penguins because their space seemed quite small. It was also pretty loud with so many people around, which made it a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it was nice to see the variety of marine life, but I wish the conditions for the animals were better.

Library
Museum
The Abbey Library of Saint Gall is a remarkable rococo library that has been collecting religious texts since its establishment in 719. With over 170,000 works including handwritten manuscripts, early prints, and books dating back to the 8th century, it holds an impressive collection. Notable pieces include illuminated manuscripts by Irish and St. Gall monks, the Plan of St.
The Abbey Library in St. Gallen is absolutely stunning - stepping inside feels like entering a fairytale. The baroque architecture, ancient books, and beautiful woodwork are breathtaking. The atmosphere is peaceful and inspiring, and the views of the historic Abbey district outside make it even more magical. A must-visit gem for book lovers, history fans, or anyone who loves beauty!
JYOTSNA O — Google review
If you're here in St Gallen, this place is an absolute must-visit. For 18 CHF, you get access to the library, the vaulted cellar and an exhibition space. Having said that, the library is still the star attraction. Before entering the library, you will need to put on slippers over your shoes. There doesn't seem to be any time limit to stay in the library, so you can always wait till the library empties out to catch great photos of the library. In particular, I loved the look of the book cases, but I was a little weirded out by the display of a mummy in the corner, which we cannot photograph.
Samuel S — Google review
We walked in around one hour before closing and therefore we could only visit the library. You would need to put on cotton-made shoeson top of your own shoes to prevent damages to the wooden floor. The library itself is indeed stunning. Although I could not read any of the books but the decor, the drawings, and all of the details are just delightful to see. A dead mummy is placed inside the library. From what I could tell it is still preserved in good conditions; but if you are scared you could always skip that corner of the library.
Kero C — Google review
Mere words cannot describe this library, the museum, and the adjacent church. It is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. You’re looking at books that are 500 years old, as a geographer I loved the globe from 1530, documents from Charlemagne, and much more. Danke für alles !
Joseph K — Google review
I imagine every visitor's dream is to be alone in this library for a few hours, randomly picking books from unlocked shelves. It's a small room that takes you back in time offering filmesque experience that can partially be spoiled with too many visitors inside. Maybe a suggestion for the library to either limit time of visit or the number of visitors per group for better experience.
Boris M — Google review
Very beautiful library room. Surely worth a visit when you‘re already in St. Gallen. I was there on a weekday with very few visitors in the afternoon so I had no queues and at one point the rooms were almost empty. You have to wear slippers on your shoes, which they provide, but it is well worth preserving such a beautiful room. If you have a Raiffeisen Card, you get the entry to three locations for free, which is nice.

Castle Casino Vaduz is a picturesque fairy-tale castle nestled on a hillside with stunning mountain views. Originally built as a fortress in the 12th century, it now serves as the official residence of the Prince of Liechtenstein. While not open to the public, visitors can still enjoy the climb and take in the panoramic vistas from its surroundings. The casino itself offers a pleasant atmosphere with friendly staff and a good selection of cocktails.
Super clean, great tables, and attentive staff. Gave out some great promotionals as well. Highly recommend when in Vaduz. Blackjack pays out 3:2 which was nice to see.

(Translated by Google) Castel Casino in Vaduz is a good casino: The staff was friendly and nice. After the check-in process, I was able to go to the machine on the ground floor. (I didn't visit the first floor with live games). At first I changed a few coins without any problems. (However, the euro/franc exchange rate here is fixed and not very good). Afterwards I went to the bar, ordered a sandwich and a drink 🍸 and went to the machines. Things were good. The sandwich was brought to me. Top! The machines won that evening. But this is a matter of luck and has no influence on the rating. (Original) Castel Casino in Vaduz ist ein gutes Casino: Das Personal war freundlich und nett. Nach dem Check-In Ablauf konnte ich rein zuvden Automaten im EG. (1. Stock mit Livespielen habe ich nicht besucht). Ich wechselte zuerst problemlos ein paar Münzen.

Das Sandwich wurde mir gebracht. Top! Die Automaten haben an diesem Abend gewonnen. Dies ist aber Glückssache und findet keinen Einfluss auf die Wertung.

Parsenn is a vast ski area that offers expansive runs, including the 12-km Parsenn descent, and numerous dining options. It is part of a group of mountains in Davos specially prepared to welcome guests in the summer, with ski slopes transforming into hiking and mountain biking trails covering 700 km. One of the main attractions in Davos is the Parsenn-Davos funicular, providing access to breathtaking mountain views for both skiers and non-skiers.
Great place for skiing in the Davos dorf... The top here is close to 2900m...so much pistes for every level of skiers... Pistes always good prepare... Not so much crowded... One thing you must try and if you are good ski and if there is enough snow is 12km slope from top to Kublis... If you want break or lunch there is few good restaurants for eat or drink something... All recommendations for visit and skiing if you are in Davos or in this part of Switzerland

Love this place! From Zürich its super easily accessible - its a little less than 2 hours from Zürich HB to Klosters Platz. As soon as you exit the train, across the street is a rental place where you can rent your gear. Literally next to the rental place is the gondola entrance. If you didnt buy your ticket online, you can buy it at the gondola entrance (can only pay with card - no cash is accepted). Mid morning its a bit of chaos there as its just one door for access to the ticket box and gondola entrance. I would recommend arriving no later than 8.30-9.00 if you dont want to queue. Even with a queue, you can get to the ski runs in 30 min - 1 hour, it isnt that bad of a wait. Note, that there is a second gondola to take after the first. The runs are really great - not too easy but not too difficult either. There is one run that takes you through the forest and all the way down to next to the 1st gondola. This is where the apres ski is. For the apres ski, definitely arrive a bit earlier than run closure if you want to get a seat inside (there is live music). If you cannot grab a place inside, they sell drinks out of a little car outside and there are a few places to stand/sit as well. After apres ski, its a quick walk across a bridge to the train station and rental return.

Got charged for cleaning fees although no one cleaned the rooms throughout my stay, the apartment was cleaned by us prior to checking out in accordance to the policy told to us by the receptionist. However, two wrapped up trash bags were left due to the trash cans being full and we informed the receptionist of this . The receptionist made us go back to the rooms after checking out to remove the trash bags or else an extra fee would be charged (on top of the cleaning fee we already paid per apartment as we had more than one apartment). There is nothing relaxing about this resort and the customer service in the reception makes matters worse . Overall should have saved my money, time , and peace of mind.

My first Swiss ski experience and absolutely loved it! Not surprising, everything worked perfectly smoothly, lifts, ski rent shop, buying ski pass online. There wasn't so much snow but all slopes were open nevertheless. We went there on a gorgeous Sunday and did over 70km of slopes. The ski pass is a bit pricey but totally worth it.

Lovely skiing spot. It would be very nice if they add lift schedule to their website so that you can check it while you are skiing to ensure that you aren't missing the last lift ride. Currently the list schedule is available in text format with location names but you have no idea what those names mean you obviously look at the map and the schedule of the lifts must be available on the map, which should provide the schedule for both directions of the lift not just one. For example, last main train goes down at 17:00 but the website schedule shows 16:00 - but this is the ride up and is irrelevant for people who are already up in the mountains. In result you have to finish you ski day one hour earlier which is frustrating and not the experience you expect at the ski resort ...

Even though I don't ski, the views from the top are amazing! If you travel by train your stop is Davos Dorf. Once there you walk about 5-10 minutes and then you have reached your destination. To go all the way to the top you change trams but it won't take that long to reach the top. Make sure to visit the village afterwards!

The best ski resort! Skiing here since 2012 and not bored! Not good for very begginers, but if you are ok on red slopes you should come here to practice. Only few Tbars left, which you can avoid, if you come from Klosters side, ski down to the double chair lift, or go forward to the carpet lift, and then go on higher.. i like that first slopes are done so that you can warm up well, and higher you ski,you can find steeper places. There are many slopes that are wide and straight, where you can practice with different level skiers. There is fun slope that goes parallel blue slope nr15. Some restaurants (one i know for sure) that do not accept credit cards, make sure to have some cash, just in case. I like Parsenn that its in the valley and you can ski several directions of the mountain, towards Davos,Klosters or Saas,Küblis.. on Davos side, there are two fun places: Race slope, where you can get the video of your skiing after you register your ski card, and the slope where you go for max.speed(there's speedometer) Even if you dont want to ski black route, you can take the lift all the way up to see an incredible view of the area, eat in that restaurant and go back with the lift.. totally reccomended. One more thing.. there is a "secret" slope(Seetäli...sssshhhh dont tell to anyone,its our secret;) ), from which you can spot the family of mountain goats(famous Steinbock) in order to earn that experience, you must take a Tbar up ;) dont forget the binoculars if you want to see them even better, but even without you can see them usually. I wish you to have a great ride on Parsenn!!!

The Bernina Express is a renowned panoramic train journey that takes passengers on a breathtaking ride through the Swiss Alps and into Italy. Departing from either Chur or St. Moritz in Switzerland, the historic red train climbs to impressive heights, offering unparalleled views of Italian and Swiss mountain ranges, glaciers, and picturesque landscapes. The route includes crossing 196 bridges, including the spiral viaduct of Brusio, and traversing the Bernina Pass to Engadin.
The most beautiful train ride I’ve been on! The train has really big windows so you get a better view of the landscape. We went from Chur to Tirano, it was about 4 and a half hours. The train goes at a relatively slow speed so you get to take in all the views. Definitely book your tickets and seats ahead of time.

This was the best train journey I’ve ever experienced. I went in first class but space and seats are probably the only difference between the two classes. The views are just stunning! You go over mountains, fields, glaciers I could just keep naming things. Around the end (if you are going from Tirano to St Moritz) you can get off at the highest point for pictures and a coffee. The staff are super friendly and always try to make your journey pleasant. This exhilarating ride takes about two and a half hours (if you again are going from Tirano to St Moritz). I highly recommend going on the right side as you get more amazing panoramic views though both sides are great. It is best if you book in advance although upgrades are sometimes available on the day. 5 stars.

Beautiful experience! I traveled today in 1st class from Chur to Tirano — it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The landscapes were breathtaking, the train was clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere very peaceful. However, the Wi-Fi link didn’t work, and unfortunately the toilet in 1st class was out of order, which was a bit disappointing for such a premium journey. Other than that, everything was lovely — I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to enjoy one of the most scenic train rides in Europe.

The lake in St. Moritz is not one of the larger lakes. Now that we are in August, it is hard to imagine what it is like here when the lake freezes, people are skating and supposedly horse races are even held on the lake! It is very nice to walk along the lake and enjoy watching the ducks. They are smaller and darker than the ducks I know.

This beautiful lake has drawn travelers since ancient times, with mineral springs attracting visitors centuries before St. Moritz became a winter resort. The frozen lake famously hosted events during the 1928 and 1948 Winter Olympics, and every year unique sports like horse racing and polo are held right on the ice.

Acquafraggia Waterfalls, located in Valchiavenna, Italy, are a sight to behold. The trail leading to the falls offers a scenic journey through an enchanting forest and leads to the most beautiful viewpoint of the waterfalls. The path then continues over the hill to Rifugio Savogno (925m), where visitors can take a break and enjoy refreshments.
Beautiful place with a stunning waterfall! The view of the waterfall from a distance is special, and it becomes even more breathtaking as you get closer. It’s a tall waterfall, and when you approach it, you can feel the refreshing mist from the falling water. There is parking available very close to the waterfall, which makes access easy and convenient. Overall, a truly beautiful spot worth visiting.

Did this hike with my friends and although I did find it challenging at points with regular breaks it’s not only very doable but simply beautiful (keep in mind I hadn’t hiked in years at that point). Lovely views and even a spot for a swim right at the top for those who are brave enough to face the chilly waters!

every time I visit chiavenna I always pass by the cascate. they’re so beautiful in winter or summer. recently I’ve been doing some of the hikes that you can find behind the waterfall which continue up alongside it and let me say it’s definitely worth it. you can find many pools near the summit for a quick dip in summer and in winter the serenity is amazing and the running water is a great soundtrack to accompany your hike. recommended 10/10 experience. brought my friends from australia with me the most recent time I did the hike and they also loved it. we swam in the spot in the second photo but beware even in peak summer the water is freezing (worth it though)

Picturesque valley featuring mountain trails with overnight huts & a dam with bungee jumping.
Truly the most serene place, honestly pictures cannot do it justice. The surrounding views are spectacular whilst the river is picturesque. There is plenty of area to walk around and take in the views with fresh air. The cool green water is breathtaking making all in all Valle Verzasca a must visit!

Absolutely stunning valley with crystal-clear emerald waters and breathtaking mountain views. A perfect place for hiking, swimming, or just relaxing in nature. One of the most beautiful spots in Switzerland – highly recommended!

A wonderful place. Great for a short and cold swim. There are also very nice hiking roots. The water is freezing year-round. Next to the main parking area there’s an amazing old bridge crossing the stream, and some great pools. There are also more shallow places where children can go inside.

A hidden gem in Ticino! The rocks have amazing patterns and the water is crystal clear. Sadly, we went in November and couldn’t swim. Definitely looking forward for a summer visit to the beautiful valley.

This was the most incredible fresh water ravines I've ever been to. So much so, it was the highlight of my month travelling Europe. As always the Swiss morals of cleanliness and respect were upheld and there was no litter or trash ruining the views. The water was mesmerising, the weather intoxicating and the general surroundings simply incredible. The bus journey up the mountain was cheap and easily accessible, leaving you with various options of drop off. I chose to get of slightly early, to enjoy a hike to the water. Prior warning, despite the summer sun, the water is very cold. In various places there were signs that warned of currents / dangers and even lifeguards present. These areas however, were very sparse and you should make sure the area is safe before you swim. Beautiful views attract admirers, so you can understand why there are usually a lot of people - you might want to get there earlier to get a nice spot. Finally, I saw a snake drop onto a guy sleeping under a rock ledge and while I've never laughed so much in my life... be careful.

Water is cold but refreshing on a hot summer day. Can be crowded depending where you are but it is fun and beautiful! You can even jump from a bridge into the water.

Wonderful place for a long walk in the nature. The river color is almost unreal. Not a very difficult trail and perfect for hot summer days. We walked from Lavertezzo to Brionne and it took approximately 2 h.

Botanical garden
Nature & Parks
I Giardini di Villa Melzi, located in Bellagio, Italy, is a stunning botanical garden surrounding the 19th-century neo-classical mansion of Villa Melzi d'Eril. The garden features picturesque trails, statues, pavilions, and breathtaking views of Lake Como. While the villa itself is not open to the public, visitors can explore the serene botanical gardens and capture its beauty through leisurely strolls or specialized tours.
This place is mesmerizing. Happy by just walking around the garden and taking few pictures. There are two exits. You can go out and return by asking the staff to stamp on your wrist. There’s entrance near the port, very easy to walk to this place. We did not buy the ticket in advance since we saw the notice in the booking website that we need to be in line to get ticket anyway. Luckily, there was no queue, I believe because we visited during weekday in the afternoon (Oct 6). Not too many people there. Recommend!

It’s a very beautiful garden right on the lake. I don’t mind paying 10€ just to walk through the park because it does take some work to maintain the garden. It’s a nice place, there’s a museum too. However you cannot enter the main villa and it’s just not that amazing overall. It’s still a great place to be away from the touristy centro of Bellagio

Villa Melzi is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. The gardens are immaculate, peaceful, and filled with stunning colors, especially in spring. Every path reveals something new—ancient trees, vibrant flowers, classical statues, and breathtaking views of the lake. The atmosphere is serene and elegant, perfect for a relaxing stroll or quiet reflection. The neoclassical villa adds a timeless charm, and the small museum and chapel offer fascinating historical insight. The combination of nature, art, and history is truly unique. It felt like walking through a living painting.

Museum

Villa Carlotta is a stunning 17th-century villa located on the shores of Lake Como, near the Grand Hotel Tremezzo. The villa boasts beautiful gardens and a remarkable botanical park with an impressive variety of rhododendrons and azaleas. Commissioned by Marquis Giorgio II Clerici, it features a neoclassical style with works by renowned artists such as Canova, Tiepolo, and Hayez.
Took the train to Varenna, then the boat and got off at Lenno. From Lenno we hiked to the villa following the lake shore (approx 4 km) This is a great hike, easy to make and not exhaustive. The only caveat is that there is a section of the hike that follows the road. Visited on Monday. Started with the gardens as there was a storm cloud on the lake and wanted to cover the gardens and move inside if the rain moved onto the place. The gardens are extensive and beautiful. The rhododendrons were in peak bloom (mid May). The Villa itself is also impressive, well curated and maintained. Overall a great small museum as a time capsule ot a different era. The cafeteria has gelato, panini and excellent beer. What else do you need beyond that. We entered the museum at 3:00 pm and left just after 6:pm. The combined ticket for the gardens and the villa is €15/p. Good value.

An absolute architectural, botanical and historical marvel of the last 500 years. The grounds of the villa are absolutely gorgeous - fountains sculptures, and perfectly manicured floral heaven. The garden is truly remarkable with how much variety of plants there are and also the way it's been maintained. For the building itself, nothing short of extraordinary - the design and architecture is impressive. There is so much history and craftsmanship behind this place.

The skilled trainers provide insights into the remarkable bond between humans and these magnificent creatures that dates back to the Middle Ages.
Beautiful show. Kids really enjoyed it. Birds are flying very close, sometimes next to you. If you want to get a chance that they put a bird on you - wear a cap. And be ready to take pictures - it is just few seconds. Kids can ride a pony after the show.

A beautiful show of various birds of prey flying within inches of the audience. It was entertaining as well as educational. It is clear that the handlers/trainers love these animals very much. If you'd like to see birds of prey flying up close this is a great place for that experience. If seeing animals in captivity is something that triggers you, then you may consider not going.

Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta - Duomo di Como

Mentioned on 
+19 other lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, also known as the Duomo di Como, is a grand cathedral that took over three centuries to build. Its palatial interior features an array of tapestries, art, and frescoes. The cathedral's construction began in 1396 and was completed in 1740.
Como Cathedral, a stunning architectural landmark near the lakeshore, commands the city’s historic center and offers a dramatic view to approaching travelers. Built between 1396 and 1744, its construction spanned centuries, blending Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles into a harmonious whole. Its proximity to the ancient Bishop’s Palace reflects Como’s historical role as a cultural and trade link between Central Europe and Italy. The Cathedral’s sculptures and paintings showcase the fusion of transalpine and Italian artistic traditions. Despite evolving styles, each phase of construction respected earlier proportions, creating a unified and timeless structure that embodies centuries of artistic expression.

Visiting the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta in Como was an unforgettable experience. The architecture is breathtaking — a perfect blend of Gothic strength and Renaissance grace. Every detail, from the grand façade to the colorful stained glass, tells a story of faith, art, and history. Inside, the peaceful atmosphere and the play of light through the windows create a sense of timeless beauty. Absolutely worth visiting — a masterpiece that captures the soul of Italy.

Very interesting. But what I would like is a MAP of the figures on the OUTSIDE of this structure. Clearly there are some very unique figures (not usually seen on churches), like Pliny the Younger. I would like to know more about the why each of these figures/animals were chosen and why they were placed in their current location. The construction of this Cathedral was begun in 1396 and over 300 years combined Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles. What is interesting is that the cathedral in Milan was just begun 10 years before. There is a timeline of events related to the Cathedral di Sant Maria Assunta, is located inside, which is informative.

I was surprised by this duomo. It is very well preserved and has an interesting way of keeping the parishioners and tourists separated while not strongly impacting either.

Sacro Monte di Varese (Unesco site)

Mentioned on

Pilgrimage place
Sights & Landmarks
Sacro Monte di Varese, a 17th-century complex, is steeped in history and religious significance. Legend has it that St. Ambrose introduced the worship of the Virgin Mary to this mountain in the 4th century as a gesture of gratitude for a triumph over heretics. The site's ancient tower, once a military fortress, underscores its strategic importance. Recent excavations have unveiled remnants of churches dating back to the 5th and 6th centuries.
Visited 10 am on a Wednesday. Super quiet. Maybe saw 20 people over 5 hours. Bring solid shoes as the cobbles are rough on your feet. Bring drinks and solid snacks as the restaurants are overpriced with tiny servings. Views amazing. A 5 star experience not to be missed.

Really worth visiting but it's a long uphill walk. Great exercise and you can treat yourself to a drink or food when you reach the top if you think you've lost lots of calories on the way up. Lots of history, beautiful views. Finding a car parking space was a challenge but definitely worth the effort & stress.
David H — Google review
Sacro Monte is a world class experience not yet overrun by tourism, and unbelievably its free! The hour's walk from the carpark reveals the story of Jesus through 14 chapels with life sized vignettes created centuries ago. It gets steep in parts but there is a pebbled path the whole way. The view from the top is a fitting reward. A vernacular is available for those who are physically challenged. Catch the C Bus from Varese to Prima Capella (end destination). Pay 1.60 euros on board with coins or card.

Just breathtaking. It's a holy town, a destination for pilgrimages for people around, and it's full of history and charmingly picturesque. I felt like Alice in Wonderland, walking through the winding stepped streets, finding its hidden secrets. We have driven all the way up by car, but beware, the parking is very limited, there might be around 50 parking spaces max for visitors. And the vistas from the top overlook the landscape for 20km around, it's magical!
Jack W — Google review
Great place to visit for the views & history. We got the bus (Line C) up from Varese town centre to the top of the hill then took the funicular up to Sacro Monte itself. Gorgeous views out over the hills, lakes & Varese itself. Lots of historic buildings & churches at the top. We walked back down the pilgrimage route passing the 14 chapels/shrines along the way. Well worth a visit.
Leonie P — Google review
Stunning Sacro Monte di Varese, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where we explore its beautiful chapels and breathtaking views. The Path of the Chapels is an uphill climb of about 2 kilometers (about 1.2 miles), though it feels much longer when you are walking it, as it zig-zags you up by 245 meters (about 804 ft.) and can be a little steep in places. Each chapel is frescoed inside, and sometimes outside, and filled with sculptures illustrating scenes from Jesus’ life.

It was the first island that we went to in our day-trip. The weather was nice and the environment was really pleasant. The view was really nice and the air was fresh. It is a small island and it takes you little time to run through all the island. The gardens were pretty nice and the birds and peacocks gave a nice touch to it. The only thing that was a bit of a disappointment was the palace, which was kind of meh (not that interesting). We later sat down and sunbathed while chit-chatting, a good company makes everything much better :)

Lovely island in the middle of lake Maggiore which is a perfect example of how humans and nature can live together. The palace itself it's a great example of the Italian baroque. While the garden showcases many varieties of exotic plants and flowers. One of the most impressive is the Japanese cypressum behind the villa. I really loved also the peacocks and the fagians strolling around the park and used to the human presence

A beautiful garden to visit. Enjoyed the birds, and the palace has some interesting rooms to see. But found it a bit overpriced vs. Isola Bella or Villa Taranto. A useful tip: come to visit by the closing hours, after 16h, so you avoid the crowds on the boats, and no waiting lines when you leave the island.

At first, we didn’t really feel like visiting a cemetery as tourists, but we went in the end — and we don’t regret it. The tombs are monumental and more beautiful than any I’ve seen before, and I didn’t feel out of place walking there. It actually felt touching to see how people honor their loved ones. Definitely worth a visit, and the entry is free.

An interesting and imposing cemetery, large and rich, definitely worth a visit. Even though the word “cemetery” might sound off-putting, it’s truly a place worth seeing. It doesn’t feel like a cemetery, more like an open‑air museum. ⛪️

The cemetery is one of the largest cemeteries in Milan. It's situated 15 minutes walk from Milano Porta Garibaldi train station. The cemetery is more like an open air art gallery. You can easily spend a few hours if you want to check out all the tombs. It's filled with contemporary and classical Greek, Italian sculptures, columns. Most of the tombs belong to families with high social status from the past. The main foot paths are wide and easy to navigate. At the end to the cemetery is the crematorium which can be visited and check out the numerous names placed on the walls. The cemetery is clean, peaceful, free to visit and you can park in front of the cemetery. Recommend to visit it.

I finally visited the Monumental Cemetery and it truly impressed me! Walking through its peaceful paths, you’re surrounded by stunning sculptures, elegant mausoleums, and unique architectural details. It feels like an open-air museum, where every corner tells a story. Founded in the 19th century, the cemetery is not only artistically rich but also historically important. Many notable figures are buried here, including Alessandro Manzoni. One of the most striking tombs is that of the Campari family (well known aperitif) , inspired by Da Vinci’s Last Supper. The space is huge (might also be one of the reasons why maintaining it is such a challenge) : over 250.000 square meters, but its geometric layout makes it easy to explore. Being buried here is considered an honor, reserved for those who brought pride to Milan. Calm, green, and full of beauty, definitely worth a visit ✨

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. We originally planned to have a quick look, but ended up walking around for about two hours, completely captivated by the sculptures, architecture, and the sacred atmosphere of this place. A must-visit when in Milan. The entrance is free just in case 😅

Volandia is a massive aviation museum located near Milan's Malpensa International Airport. It houses an impressive collection of real planes, flight simulators, and even a playground for kids. Visitors can explore numerous scale models, military and civil aircraft both indoors and outdoors, as well as old and new cars. The museum also features a space section for enthusiasts.
We absolutely loved this museum. Although the main theme is flying machines (planes, helicopters, etc..) there is much more, like a various train models and cars as well as car models If you are the sort of person that likes planes, cars and also to read the details about exhibits, you can easily spend all day here

Very impressive displays, especially the space and car collection. The children indoor playground was amazing as well , and the kids liked it a lot. On the downside - many displays are very run down which is a shame as they could make this place so much better - the train models and tracks are not working and all filled with cobweb, some bathrooms are not functional and the train and old car display in the back of the museum is just sad. Additionally the large open aircrafts next to the airport fence could be cleaned a bit. In addition, there are not too many attractions for little kids, who wanted to enter planes, cars and helicopters but there were only a few of them that could be entered.

We had a few hours before we could check in to our room, this was the perfect place to pass them. Take the sidewalk from upper level / departure to the gate, then call from the gate, and someone will come and unlock it for you. The museum itself features airplanes from the very early days of aviation in Italy. The building is an old airplane factory.

Really cool museum at Malpensa Airport! Lots of interesting history and full-sized airplanes to check out, both indoors and outside. There’s even a café inside with snacks and drinks. Only downside is you might have to wait about 15 minutes for someone to let you in or out, which is a bit annoying if you’ve got a flight to catch. But overall, a fun place to visit if you’ve got some extra time at the airport.

My son loved this museum! Many things to see and learn. We stayed for an hour but you can easily spend more time because there is a lot of information. Very interesting!

Because I still have time before departure and find place to visit. It has many antique cars which I never see before. And it has many aeroplane outside which is very interesting. Just I don’t know why has no entrance from airport which pass thru the bridge. The plate I need walk anticlockwise but it has no road which is only fence. I need walk difficult which cross the sixth rental car park around 20 minutes to arrive the entrance. I am highly recommend to set a entrance which just below the airport bridge and attract the tourist to come

Really great way to spend a few hours if your’e waiting for a flight. Go outside at the second floor and go through the pathway up the highway. There is an alternative entrance to the museum where you have to call the given number and someone will come to open the gates.
