A lot can be said about this place, but it is better to come and see everything yourself. It is difficult for me to imagine where else in the world there are so many historical buildings, caves, museums, icons in one territory. And indeed the place that is full of history. Just go to the free part, if you like it, you can come on Sunday and get into the "museum" part for free too.

Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, also known as the Kyiv Monastery of the Caves, is one of Ukraine's most revered religious and cultural landmarks. Perched on the picturesque hills overlooking the Dnipro River in the Pechersk district of Kyiv, this UNESCO World Heritage site is a stunning example of Eastern Orthodox monastic architecture and a place of profound spiritual significance. Founded in 1051 by St. Anthony of Kyiv, the Lavra began as a humble cave monastery and grew into a vast complex of churches, bell towers, and subterranean catacombs. The history of Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is deeply intertwined with the spread of Christianity in the region, serving as a spiritual center for Eastern Orthodoxy and a cradle of monasticism in Kievan Rus. Over the centuries, it has been a focal point of religious life, attracting pilgrims from across the Orthodox world. The architectural beauty of Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is breathtaking. The complex is dominated by the Great Lavra Belltower, which soars to a height of 96.5 meters, making it one of the tallest bell towers in the world. The golden domes of the Dormition Cathedral, which was rebuilt after being destroyed during World War II, gleam in the sunlight, creating a striking contrast against the blue skies of Kyiv. The interior of the churches is adorned with exquisite frescoes, mosaics, and icons, reflecting the rich artistic tradition of the Orthodox Church. Beneath the Lavra's surface lies a network of catacombs, where the mummified remains of saints, monks, and notable figures from Ukrainian history are interred. These underground passages are a place of pilgrimage, with visitors coming to venerate the relics and experience the serene, otherworldly atmosphere of the caves. Culturally, Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is a symbol of Ukraine's religious heritage and national identity. It has played a crucial role in the preservation and dissemination of Orthodox Christian traditions, theological scholarship, and religious art. The Lavra continues to be an active monastery, home to a community of monks who maintain the centuries-old spiritual practices that have been passed down through generations. In addition to its religious significance, Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is a cultural treasure, hosting museums that display priceless artifacts, manuscripts, and religious objects. The site is not only a place of worship but also a center of learning, art, and history, embodying the spiritual and cultural legacy of Ukraine.

This is an amazing site to discover in Kyiv. Visit the church, see the mirror egg outside. The outstanding architecture. You need to visit this as travellers. It's a must and less than $5 to visit. On my visit there was some coffee machine outside, was very tasteful.

I visited just before the start of war, so my review is based on my experience at that time. A beautiful and historic monument in Kyiv. Arguably the centre of the Slavic Orthodox religion. I wish to visit again when things are back to normal.

Beautiful place!!! Lots to see so make sure you have plenty of time. The bell tower is a little bit of a workout but completely worth it. The architecture, artwork, grounds and history is quite amazing.

It’s not really “free” to enter but 100 UAH to pay. But of course it’s worth paying the amount as you’ll get to see amazing monastery with so many beautiful ornaments around. Do not miss the viewpoint as you’ll be able to see nice view under the river and to the war museum down south.

Amazingly beautiful. Worth visiting when in Kyiv and if you have a good day to dedicate. Not only the church but Monastery is full of beautiful holy places and micro environments, quite relaxing for visitors.

I love these paved/cobbled walkways in Kyiv, which has various hills. So reminiscent of other cities in Central Europe. This one reminded me of Prague! 🇺🇦 🇨🇿

Something of a old city and tourist area, very nice area

Very nice hill to walk up or down. Very nice walk and at the top there are many nice restaurants and things to see. Great area for some exercise.

Nice atmosphere and artists alley, good place to have a walk and enjoy atmosphere of old Kyiv

very elegant charming resedential area with colorful houses.

Historical street with old, renovated houses, shops, restaurants and cafes

This is one of the fairy places in Kyiv. There are so many stories, legends, and just unbelievable stories. You can still cath the spirit of art freedom and fall in some adventurous here. Just find the right people or good guide to visit this place if you're first time in Kyiv.

Wery nice place. Flat is in very good condition. Vieiv to the center of the city. Stairs are build more than 100 years ago and not repaired. Householder can meet or deliver to airport.

Was ok.

We visited here from New Zealand and came to this tower with a cousin. The steps up were pretty exciting and I felt like Indiana Jones 😆. Some people though might find it a bit claustrophobic because everything is very narrow. It was cool seeing the big bell roughly around the middle tower and then climbing to the top and getting a 360 degree view of Košice city centre. My favourite part was being able to ring the ball at the top and even though it wasn’t insanely big it still made so much noise. My family in the park close by could hear it when we rang it. There was a wire mesh that was there for our safety but also made it a bit annoying to look and take photos. At the end climbing down we had to call a phone number because the door was always locked and a person came and unlocked it, but they told us that it would probably happen so it’s not like they forgot about us or something don’t worry. Anyways, loved the great views and the climb was fun. Ringing the bell was the best part.

This is one of the most fascinating churches I have ever seen! You can buy a ticket and climb the old staircase, visit the Rákoczy crypt and climb the church tower which offers spectacular views of the city centre. There is also a holy mass several times a day.

I visited St. Elisabeth's Cathedral with my wife, who is Slovakian, and our son. Whilst admiring how impressive this building is I often forget, or don't appreciate, that this cathedral was built in 1378 to honour St. Elisabeth of Hungary. Many of the people in this region are deeply affect by Košice becoming part of Czechoslovakia in 1918 and then Slovak Republic in 1993.

A place where you connect the old architecture with new modern architecture… an old building next a new one… old narrow road connecting new streets… a place where you want to spend time in … then you have the main street with cafes and restaurants along both sides..

An outstandingly beautiful Gothic cathedral, right in the center of Kosice. It is the largest cathedral in Slovakia and it can be visited for free. For €3 you can visit the cathedral bell tower, which is a steep and narrow climb that starts outside of the main entrance to the cathedral.

St. Elisabeth Cathedral is a breathtaking masterpiece of Gothic architecture and the crown jewel of Košice. What makes the experience truly magical is the way sunlight filters through the stained-glass windows, casting vibrant colors across the stone walls and floor. The interplay of light and shadow creates a peaceful, almost sacred atmosphere that invites reflection. It's a must-see for anyone visiting the city!

Absolutely beautiful cathedral, we enjoyed climbing up to the bell tower very much . Amazing views of the whole city underneath.

An absolutely incredible experience and one of the real highlights of our trip. The Wieliczka Salt Mine completely exceeded expectations. It’s vast, beautifully lit and full of fascinating history. The scale of it is hard to take in until you’re actually down there, walking through the tunnels and chambers carved entirely from salt. The guided tour was excellent, with just the right mix of facts, humour and storytelling. The underground chapels and sculptures are astonishing, and it’s amazing to think they were all hand carved by miners. Every turn reveals something unexpected, from chandeliers made of salt crystals to huge caverns that feel almost otherworldly. It’s well organised, easy to reach from Krakow, and surprisingly comfortable even deep underground. I’d recommend it to anyone. It’s one of those rare places that truly lives up to the hype.

A must when visiting Krakow. We booked through Krakow Direct and were picked up/dropped off at our hotel for the tour. Short walk across road to the Salt Mines where Justine, our tour guide was superb and witty. There are lots and lots and lots of steps to go down. Thankfully you don't have to walk back up! Such a marvel of human achievement from centuries ago. The sheer size of this place is mind blowing. To think tourists only get to see less than 2% of it is difficult to comprehend. You will need comfortable shoes and it can get warm with all the walking. The chapels are breathtaking and the sculptures are fantastic. Truly worth a visit and at several points along the tour you can purchase memorabilia which is really well priced which is unusual for a tourist attraction. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed!

My wife and I visited the salt mine in early October. It is an awe-inspiring place. We would highly recommend a visit. The history is fascinating and the cathedral is spectacular. Our guide, Natalie, was excellent. She was positive, engaging, insightful, and energetic. We had an amazing and memorable time. The tour is quite long (2+ hours) and you do walk over 3 km, descending down through the mine over 100 meters by a mix of ramps and stairs. Good news, you take an elevator back up.

Impressive mines Yes the mines are absolutely incredible when you consider the engineering and work it took to carve out all those passageways and huge underground halls. Then there's the intricate statues sculpted out of the salt which are incredible. There are also natural wonders such as the underground lakes. You can easily spend up to a day there if the guides would only allow you - but with the crowds they want to move people along. You NEED the guides otherwise you'd get lost in the labyrinth. You are provided with headphones so you can always hear what they're saying. We had Nicholas - he was a lovely guy, but .... could talk less, if I'm honest. At one stage he offered us the option to talk more or talk less. I would have opted for less, but people were too nice/polite and didn't want to hurt his feelings so opted for more. So after a lot of his monotone warbling (sorry Nicholas) I just removed the headphones and took in the beauty of the place for myself. Well worth seeing though

Very interesting and impressive tour. Multiple huge caverns made for a rather different underground experience to all the caves I've previously been in. We even had a nice meal in the underground restaurant before heading back to the surface.

I really enjoyed the tour, good information. Amazing views (inside 😄), I can't describe it and the pictures don't do it any justice. The mine is absolutely amazing, the size, the beauty, the effort and detail on the handcrafted figures, everything really. Some of the rooms you enter are just jaw dropping, yout mind just goes to wonder how did someone build this. The temperature is really nice inside, 14-17c at all times, I was happy in a t-shirt but some people had light jackets on. There are loads of gift shops at the exit and they sell everything that the underground ones do, so unless you want to carry bags throughout the tour, buy your gifts at the exit. I tried the restaurant before the return to the surface and it was great. Good food and good quantity. I will be returning in the future. For management, I just have two suggestions...One, please try to get some radio relays in the tunnels as the signal was very bad of you were in the back of the tour group. Two, bigger gaps between tours would be great, just to give more time to see some of the areas in more detail. But overall amazing.

While the salt mine is interesting to visit and quite impressive with its man-made chambers, corridors and chapels, the overall experience is a 'hit and miss' at best. As you can only visit on an organised tour, a lot depends on the guide you'll get. We went on a pre-booked English-language tour (they start every 30 min) and were very unlucky with our guide. He spoke a very basic, heavily accented, broken English, which was hard to follow and at times bordering on comical. His commentary was devoid of substance and repetitive, mostly stating the obvious. We didn't learn anything interesting about the mine, its history or its current use. Most of the 'installations' were dated and very kitchy. The tour was rushed, with large groups of tourists constantly encroaching on each other's space. In summary: was it interesting? Yes. Was it worth the effort and money? Not so sure.

We visited Schindlers factory on rhe first day of our trip to Krakow. We had been in the city about 10 years ago and missed it then so wanted to make sure we got there this time. Firstly this is less a tour of Oskar Schindler's factory anf more a WW2 museum that just happens to be in the same building that Oskar Schindler happened to use. There isnt a lot about Schindler and his workers. Most of it is about the war in Krakow and Poland. Very informative but something you need to know if you are specifically going to see the factory from the film. If you are going with that in mind you may be disappointed. But if you want to learn about WW2 in Krakow then this will be the place for you. Another tip. Book in advance and get a skip the queue ticket. We didnt and when we joined the queue it didnt seem too long maybe 100 people in front of us. It took over 2 hours to get in. Every ten or fifteen minutes around 10 people would get in. Meanwhile dozens got in via skip the queue in the same time. So dont queue. Book a skip the queue tour. But that said we enjoyed the visit and would highly recommend it.

An excellent museum that covers the entire lived history of the Jews in Krakow during the Nazi regime, the emergence of Oskar Schindler and his amazing role in saving thousands of them. Excellent displays, wonderful recreations and maps and documents. Very poignant. Very good.

A must visit. Get here early, as there was a queue at opening. The permanent exhibition is great, and you go around the actual factory. If you remember the film, you'll see the iconic entrance/ staircase. Ignore the website about ticket availability and the sign on the door. Worth the queue time.

A must see , made better by watching the fantastic Schindler's List to get an additional appreciate of events. Tour guide (via Get Your Guide) was informative and knowledgeable. Earphones provided with this program and skip the queue also, as your booked in at a certain Time

Really interesting museum with lots of information and exhibits. We queued on the day, morning, to get entry. They were letting people in 10 at a time. Took us about 30 mins to get in - the queue was much bigger in the afternoon. The biggest downside to the museum is the sheer amount of tours going through it. Some of the corridors are too narrow for 20 ppl+ groups to just stand around and listen to a guide. If you get caught behind one group it’s a nightmare to get past. Maybe consider limiting the amount of group tours passing through.

Very atmospheric and well thought out. Seeing the old factory turned into a museum and the history within is truly like time travel. Highly recommend getting tickets and a reservation in advanced; and if you do, do not wait outside with the others, simply walk in within your scheduled tour time. My only gripe with the experience is the annoying tour groups you have to squeeze through in the exhibit. Not only can they block your way, but the actual museum does not make a profit from these people! Why the museum has not address this is unknown but the staff there definitely share the sentiment that something should be done about these groups.

Booked tickets via their website before we travelled to Krakow. You can risk queuing but it's nice to have piece of mind that to are assured a slot. We booked an English speaking tour of the factory. The tour/factory is a deep dive into Krakow's role in WW2, not just about Oscar Schindler. It's a fantastic, immersive museum with well-thought out exhibits. It takes you on a journey through the war years. Absolutely recommend the museum. The tour was great for us, but if you want to spend time reading all the exhibits then do it without a guide.

Beautiful nature, big mountains , under pine trees go threw up to the top of Kasporowy Wierch .

Impressive. Since place is available by cable car, easy to reach also for older and not traied people an kids. Views are nice when weather is good.

For those who want to spend amazing moments in the winter ... and do not like to approach after going down on foot :)

Beautiful but too much waiting time for the cable car.

In addition to the heel and toe system, you can go up the hill from Zakopane with a lift. I recommend buying lift tickets in advance. Starting in the morning, queues for buying tickets are usually very long in the summer when the weather is nicer. The lift also has an intermediate station where you can make a change if necessary and change part of the ascent (or descent) to a walking tour. The upper lift station also has restaurants (on two floors, the lower of which is always less crowded), a toilet (for a fee) and a phone charging station (lockable free lockers in the room next to the toilets).

If you're in zakopane, it's a must see 👌🏽

Must see!

Picturesque town square, beautiful pictures from all angles. The place really becomes lively at night. Dont miss the square at "blue hour," for us visiting in late september this was 7pm. Abundance of gift shops in the center. Underground Museum is worth a visit. One could spend days just stopping into resturaunts and stores.

Great atmosphere here. I felt very safe here. Always something going on. One night a group of about 100, 16 year olds, gathered and had a dance. Not one sign of trouble. Great atmosphere with the restaurants and shops

Absolutely stunning square with so much history and charm! The atmosphere is vibrant, surrounded by beautiful buildings, cafes, and street performers. A perfect spot to sit, relax, and soak in the city’s energy.

Crakow - the most beatiful city in Poland and Europe. It is soaked in history and its vibrant streets encourage to sightsee and explore the town. I trully recommend visiting it at least for 4- 5 days as ot has a lotto offer with Sukiennice, Main Market and Mariacki Church. Polish cuisine is deliscious and ypu can try many different food there.

I have being to so many cities main squares in Europe and this one is the most beautiful with great restaurants for food and drinks!!! I just truly love Poland so much and recommend everyone to go and visit.

Beautiful central square in Krakow! Huge square, there us a small market in the main building where you can buy souvenirs and also the traditional amber stone, as bracelet or charm, very pretty. You can visit St Mary's basilica and go up to the tower, extraordinary views from Krakow, totally worth the circa 300 steps to get to the top! Lovely restaurants around the square, and not that much expensive compared to others further away from the centre. You can also rent a charming charriot and go around central krakow, day or night

Beautiful old town, we arrived the evening before independence day for Poland, on the day it was very busy, high police presence, but no trouble. The town is full of Beautiful buildings, cafes, bars and restaurants. A restaurant for all budgets. The foot fall fell off, Wednesday/Thursday and grew again on the Friday. Due to the time of year, the increase of visitors didn't appear to have a negative effect on restaurants for us, but might at a different time of year. Poland is so worth a visit. We used Bolts, which is a kind of taxi service, which was Cheap and very quick ( download the app) to use as our chosen way of getting around when we went further a field.

Wawel Royal Castle is a beautiful trip that is definitely worth the visit! The architecture is impressive and full of history, offering an enriching cultural experience. Furthermore, its location provides a beautiful view of the river Vistula, perfect for photos and relaxation. To complete the visit, make sure to see the famous Wawel Dragon statue, which, to everyone's delight, breathes fire every 10 minutes! It's a fun detail that appeals to all ages. The attraction is very well maintained, and the whole complex is a must-see tourist spot in Poland.

Visiting the Wawel Royal Castle–State Art Collection is an unforgettable experience that beautifully blends art, architecture, and history. Perched above the Vistula River, the castle offers breathtaking views of Kraków and an atmosphere that feels almost timeless. Every corner of the complex tells a story — from the grand royal chambers to the intricate tapestries and stunning Renaissance courtyards. The State Art Collection is incredibly well curated, showcasing exquisite works that highlight Poland’s royal heritage and artistic legacy. The Crown Treasury and Armoury, in particular, are a must-see for anyone interested in medieval craftsmanship and regal splendor. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, eager to share insights and answer questions, making the experience even more enriching. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and there’s plenty of space to wander, reflect, and take in the history that surrounds you. Whether you’re an art lover, a history enthusiast, or simply a traveler in search of beauty and culture, Wawel Castle is an absolute gem — a true symbol of Poland’s enduring spirit and elegance.

The Wawel Royal Castle Gardens in Kraków are a beautifully restored part of Poland’s most iconic historic site. Nestled on Wawel Hill, the gardens offer a serene escape from the city, with meticulously arranged flower beds, manicured lawns, and stunning views over the Vistula River. They blend Renaissance design with natural charm, evoking the elegance of royal life while maintaining a peaceful, contemplative atmosphere. The State Art Collection housed within Wawel Castle is equally impressive. It features masterpieces of European art, exquisite tapestries from the 16th century, royal portraits, and priceless artifacts from Poland’s regal past. Highlights include the famous Flemish tapestries commissioned by King Sigismund II Augustus and an exceptional collection of Renaissance and Baroque art. Together, the gardens and the art collection make Wawel not only a symbol of Polish heritage but also a living museum of art, architecture, and nature — a must-see for any visitor to Kraków!

This is a very impressive castle. We booked a tour so that we could learn a lot, but there is so much to see that the tour felt kind of fast. Book based on your personal preference - if you wish to linger maybe go with an audio guide. It’s very interesting and a wonderful place to visit.

A must do if you're visiting Kraków. The exterior grounds themselves are free to roam as you please, you will only need to pay to access the exhibitions inside the interior rooms of the castle. I will advise you that the tickets for the cathedral and rest of the castle attractions are sold in separate ticket booths. These tickets booths are clearly signposted however so you should have no issue in getting around. Also you must buy individual tickets for each of the attractions that you wish to visit during your time at the castle. All in all, it's a great day out for all the family and you can spend several hours here getting to see all of the great exhibits that are on display. There are also ample facilities for food, storing bags and toilets (which you can use your entrance ticket to access for free).

This is by far the most impressive castle I saw in Poland and it's huge. Divided by multiple sections, I strongly encourage you visit the jewels and weapons section and the 2nd floor, but if you hace time, everything is worth checking! Absolutely beautiful works of art renovated perfectly or kept pristine, an audioguide is strongly recommended so you can understand more the context behind some of the things. The dragon's den I considered it to be Meh, only visit it at the end upon exit if you want, but truth be told you won't waste much if you skip it. Gardens are beautiful albeit small. You'll need to leave your luggage upon visiting, but it's free storage so more than encouraged. A must see if you visit Kraków

Wawel Castle is without doubt one of the most impressive and historically important sites in Kraków, and a symbol of Polish heritage. Perched on Wawel Hill above the Vistula River, it combines beautiful Renaissance courtyards, Gothic towers, and breathtaking views over the city. Walking through the royal chambers, the armory, and the treasury, you get a real sense of the centuries of power and culture that shaped Poland. The nearby Wawel Cathedral, with its chapels and royal tombs, is equally remarkable and deeply moving, as it is the final resting place of Polish kings, queens, and national heroes. Even if you don’t go inside, the grounds are worth exploring for the atmosphere and panoramic views. This is a place where history, art, and architecture come together in a truly unique way. Absolutely essential on any visit to Kraków.

We been this week it was so good, nice restaurant, good food .Love it.

One of the places which you have to visit in Zakopane. Highly recommended!!!

If you come to Zakopane you need to visit this street. Lots of shops, restaurants, cafes. Lots of things to visit and beautiful views

Very beautiful and must visit street in Zakopane. It had cafés as usual and some fancy art and jewellery shop. There is a carriage ride as well (though super expensive). Nice vibe in the evening with tourists

Must visit while in Zakopanę area

Breath taking place

Just a lovely walk in between shops on the most commonly known street in Zakopane

Fantastic place to go with our boys of 8, 9 and 12 yrs old. With so many slides you can gradually build up the difficulty level. Personal favorite: Flamingo. Also had some good food from the grill 😋 And enough parking space. Buy tickets online to get some discount 😉

If you enjoy feeling exploited – go there. The entrance tickets are outrageously overpriced, and the place is packed with thousands of people, creating enormous queues for the slides. For some unexplained reason, on most of the slides – especially those designed for kids – you’re forced to wait for an inflatable tube, which makes the wait even longer and more cumbersome. On the main slides, you can end up waiting over an hour (!) in line, and then spend more long minutes waiting again at the top. Everything moves painfully slowly and inefficiently. But the real nerve is what they call “Express Tickets.” For an extra €3 per person per slide, they let you skip the main line and go straight up to the slide queue itself. So, while you – who already paid dozens of euros to get in – wait endlessly in the “regular” line, dozens of people who paid more casually walk past you. For every 20 “express” guests, they let through maybe 1 or 2 who paid the already outrageous regular admission. They’re counting on you to give up and pay more. It’s basically extortion. In 8 hours at the park, the kids barely managed 7 slides in total, and altogether spent about 5–6 hours waiting in line. The food is expensive too, and the queues for food are just as unreasonable. We won’t be coming back, and we definitely wouldn’t recommend it.

The water park is huge and offers a wide variety of attractions, with something for everyone. The rides and activities were diverse and a lot of fun. Most of the attractions are outdoors, so weather can make a big difference. The only downside was that the major attractions had long waiting times. We visited on a sunny day, so it wasn’t too bad, but on colder days the wait could be less pleasant, especially for those not used to chilly weather.

This review is for the aquapark pools and slides, not the hotel. As we were not there The place is great and we spent the full day with kids, even though most of the slides were closed due to winter, it was still lots of fun and not crowded at all , October time

Absolutely fantastic experience at Aqua Park Tatralandia! So many slides, pools, and attractions for every age. The water is warm, everything is clean, and the staff are super friendly. Perfect mix of fun and relaxation — a must-visit when in Slovakia. PS: There was a magician😂

Visited Tatralandia Water Park today. The park is very large, with plenty of seating areas both outdoors and indoors. It can get extremely crowded, which may not be ideal for those who dislike crowds, but it offers a fun experience for most visitors above 120 cm in height. Only a few attractions require a minimum height of 140 cm. There are lockers available for storing belongings, and many restaurants on-site, though prices are relatively high, around €15 for a standard meal and €3 for drinks. The park has a wide variety of attractions and pools. We chose to visit mainly for the wave pools, but unfortunately, they were closed upon arrival. It’s possible to skip the long lines by paying €3 per ride, but this option isn’t available for all attractions and must be paid each time you want to skip the line. If you don’t bring a towel, you can rent one for €4. There is plenty of parking in the complex, including in the main lot.

Unbelievably crowded! Right at the entrance, at every slide (it took even 55 mins today for one of them), at all restaurants in the peak lunch time, and finally a decent queue at the exit to pay the consumption. It's a pity, because the place has very good facilities and potential, it's just the unlimited visitors left in on such a peak day, which creates such a distress.

Was a somber experience being in a place of death and torture, especially for my family members who endured this egregiously harsh and inhumane reality during WWII. We were never told to purchase tickets in advance so the museum was booked solid when we drove 3.5 hours from Warsaw to visit. The new Israeli owners, as crazy as it seems, have made it more difficult to gain entry with a walk in. We are able to observe the outskirts which was just as surreal and contained some valuable informative sights to see.

Incredibly somber and emotional experience. Seeing the scale of what happened here is overwhelming. We visited on a nice sunny day, but I couldn’t help but feel what the conditions must have felt like for those held within the camp during the harsh polish winters. A must see for anyone to remind us of what happened and try to ensure it can never happen again.

A huge museum, which is being restored to this day and is still being preserved. Book the tour in advance because you can get alone and for free only after 15:00. We got a very nice girl guide, it was very interesting and pleasant to listen to. We visited both camps, the total tour took about 4 hours. This place is very atmospheric, creepy. It is obligatory for everyone to visit, you need to know and not forget the history so that there are no more such things.

Probably one of the most badly organised tourist destinations in the world ! Always wanted to visit but was very disappointed, the complete cluster fxxk of the main entry, the inability to secure private tickets in advance via a official site, this resulted in almost 45 min to wait in a outdoor line until we could get to the ticket office and then another 2 hour wait until our time slot to actually get through the gate. I'd gladly pay €5-10 for advance tickets if I could get a guaranteed time to get in when I arrive. Once in there was no real flow or direction of what to see or what order to see it in. The official map was about as much use as sand in a desert, honestly a 5 year old could have drawn a better plan. Inside large tour groups dominated all the various things to see and we were often barged out of the way or unable to pass them while they blocked doors or things to see. My impression of the place has been ruined by visiting it and then when coming out, they don't even have clear signage where to get public transport back or a covered bus stop. The urban planner / architect who designed the new entrance and coach part obviously never tried visiting as a tourist.

This is a very sad experience. But I do recommend everyone to visit once in a lifetime. I learnt about it in a history lesson, but seeing it for real was just something else. The scale of it is just mad. There was 2 camps, second camp had more than 300 buildings. They were killing almost 5k people a day, in a gas chamber they fit 700 people at a time 😮 Its just crazy to see all the shoes of people who died there. And crazy to see the gas chamber. We all need to see the scale of it and learn from it so the history wont repeat itself... In the second camp, last building we entered was the barrack of ill women, it was called the death barrack, all of them were ill or unable to work, they were getting no food or water and if the barrack was full they were made to stay outside in a yard and wait to be taken to the gas chamber. Most of them died there in a barrack. It's so cruel. The free car park not in use. All car parks around is approx 30zloty. There is massive queue to get it, takes forever due to amount of people visiting. To get in need to go thru security like in the airport. Then there is audio tour. Our guide was not great, was hard to hear her as she didnt hold microphone properly. Was way too many people and very long backlog so we skipped quite few barracks. Once we got to second camp by bus our tour guide didnt wait for everyone so we got lost. Not very well organised tbh. After 1pm most days can visit camps without tour guides and it is free. This place would give chills to everyone.

Powerful to say the least! This was part of my bucket list of places to visit and WOW it did not disappoint. Moving does not do this place justice, understanding what the Jews, gypsies and other minorities went through during the Second World War, you can watch as many documentaries as you like but actually walking in their footsteps really does bring it home…..Unforgettable

One of the must see place if you are nearby. A piece of the most terrible european history, which shouldn't be forgotten. Very impressive. Get your ticket in advance on the web, as you can get guider in your language.

A heathen here. A pretty magnificent church. Our tour uses a local tour guide who takes us through the church while the Mass is in progress. He's also very thorough with the small museum. The church is dedicated to Black Madonna (the Virgin Mary), mother of Jesus. Reportedly, she possessed extraordinary power.

I love this place a lot. As soon as you walk through the gates it feels like you enter a little village on its own!!! It's a really peaceful and sacred place. I can only recommend ^^

Gorgeous buildings and surroundings. We were lucky enough to be there while mass was on. The sound of singing fills the place with reverie. There are multiple areas of the compound that are well worth a visit.

Wonderful shrine, a must-see while around Krakow. The icone of our Lady, the beautiful church, a very interesting treasury and museum, and breathtaking view at the top of the tower, all these make this place a magical one.

A beautiful and spiritual place with incredible history. The monastery is impressive, peaceful, and filled with meaning. A must-visit when in Częstochowa.

This is considered to be a sacred place with a miracle-making icon. This historical place is visited by the Pope, too. The architecture with inside decoration of the churches is beautiful! The entrance is free. There is a large parking behind the cathedral complex. Many pilgrims come here every year.

I visited Wrocław Zoo on two separate occasions in September 2025 in order to make the most of my time in the city and the weather. I visit zoos across the world in order to photograph their animals, and would consider the one in Wrocław among the best. The zoo is well laid out, with many indoor houses and outdoor enclosures for species across the animal kingdom. The houses that most impressed me were the Terrarium (for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates) and the Afrykarium for African fauna. The Terrarium is laid out over two floors (unfortunately not accessible to wheelchairs) and contains around 100 exhibits for animals ranging from tiny insects to crocodiles and giant tortoises. All of these are appropriate in size and conditions for their inhabitants. Many of the animals here can only be seen here in Europe, including some tiny colourful geckos from the Indian Ocean. I spent several hours in here on my two visits, photographing all the animals I could see. The Afrykarium takes you on a journey through the continent and its waters. The only deviation from this theme was to replace the rare African manatees with their slightly more common Caribbean relative, of which I could see five individuals swimming in their tank. Other inhabitants include penguins, fur seals, sharks, hippopotamus, aardvarks, and elephant shrews. The building is accessible to wheelchairs with a few elevators, but one was out of service on my visit. Other notable exhibits include the bird house, with its many rare species, Pallas’s cats, and olive baboons. Overall I recommend a visit to anyone interested in birds, endangered species, unusual reptiles, or just animals in general.

I absolutely loved my visit to the Wrocław Zoo! It’s one of the most beautiful and well-organized zoos I’ve ever been to. The animals look healthy and well cared for, and the enclosures are clean and spacious. The Afrykarium is a must-see — it feels like stepping into another world! 🐠🐧 There are plenty of places to relax, grab a snack, and enjoy the atmosphere. Perfect for families, couples, or just a peaceful walk surrounded by nature and animals. Highly recommend visiting! 🌿🐘🦓

Truly amazing experience! The Wrocław Zoo is much bigger than I expected and incredibly well kept. You can really see that the animals are healthy, well fed, and properly cared for — everything feels very natural and clean. There are so many different species to see, and the Afrykarium is just breathtaking! The only small downside is that not every section has English translations, but honestly, it didn’t stop us from enjoying it at all. It’s a wonderful place for both kids and adults — definitely one of the best zoos I’ve ever visited. Highly recommended!

Great value for ticket cost, 176zł (£36.05 for x2 ticket, £18 per person). So many animals, a lot to see, indoor aquarium was amazing and tunnel under the sharks and rays was a highlight. Hot dogs from cafe at beginning were great, little expensive compared to other places (48zł for x2 hot dogs, x1 cola, x1 water, £8.82. Each hot dog at 12zł (£2.45) compared to 8.99zł (£1.84) for hot dogs and cola bottle elsewhere). Gift shop closed hour before zoo closed so missed out on getting any items from there sadly

Absolutely stunning—easily one of the best zoos I’ve ever been to, and I’ve seen quite a few. Massive grounds, an incredible variety of animals, and more than enough to fill an entire day. A definite must-visit if you’re in Wroclaw.

Great ZOO with quite a long history! I'd especially recommend pavilon with manatees (there is not very many places to see those in Europe) and very nice terrarium. There is an underground parking nearby, so you can leave your dog in the car without worries even if it's hot outside. Very worth visiting once you are in Wroclaw!

An incredible zoo with lots to see including an aquarium. The zoo covers a huge area and it’s really enjoyable to explore the grounds and buildings on site. Highly recommend a visit and would suggest half a day to explore as a minimum.

Super cool experience. Very well explained, more interested Always in medieval stories that WW1/2 but has best of both worlds. The building inside and out is stunning.

Zamek Książ is one of the tourist attractions that you must visit if you are nearby. The third largest castle in Poland has an interesting history and the castle tour will delight you. You can spend a whole day here without getting bored.

We walked in the summer, but wanted to see this castle last winter, which might be a bit problem as the path may have been a bit slippery. It's a nice circuit along the river, quite uphill, from St Anne's church, (ruins) through the old castle to the new chateau , which is beautiful and the park maintained, free to enter. The place is photogenic and on the way there you can stop at the viewpoint. However, choose the right part of the day not to have the sun directly to your eyes.

Unbelievable castle! Very huge with an extended park. Tha castle itself is nicely decorated and furnished. You can feel the atmosphere of the past. By official suggestion you need 2.5 hours to go round but we did it shorter because we didn't have too much time. We went on the underground tour as well which is very interesting. It was part of the Rise Project of nazi Germany. A sharp contrast with the peaceful world of the castle!! You have to climb a lot of stairs!! Be careful. But it is worth!

Tickets cost around 60pln for visit a castle. The whole tour takes around 1h. The castle is really good renovated and has a lot to see. Parking cost us 30pln . With the ticket you have also entrance to the garden. I did not have to wait to visit this place

It was an interesting visit, but there were some organizational issues. Ksiaz Castle is definitely worth a visit. The self-guided tour of the interior is interesting and informative. Seeing the original furniture and décor from different historical periods was fascinating and really helped us imagine life in those times. The castle is large, and the tour takes about one to two hours, depending on your pace. You can explore at your own pace, which is a big plus. After finishing the tour of the interior, you can access the gardens, where you can walk around, relax, and even grab a bite to eat at the café. Note that prices are on the expensive side. Unfortunately, I had an unpleasant experience with the security staff. Due to the large number of visitors, it was difficult to stop and take photos, so I wanted to walk back and capture some shots I had missed. However, I was told that going against the flow is not allowed, even though I saw someone else (not a staff member) doing so freely. It felt inconsistent and frustrating. Make sure not to skip the underground section of the tour. It provides fascinating insight into the castle’s role during WWII. It's quite cold underground, so bring a warm layer. Plan to spend about 40 minutes down there. Overall: It's a beautiful, historic place worth visiting, but be prepared for some crowd-related limitations during peak times.

Better to come earlier to prevent huge queue for the tickets. Use terminals to the left from tickets office (same enter as tickets office), they were totally free. Great and clean place inside and outside. P.s. if you want to enjoy coffee after visiting castle - better stay in cafe inside (NOT on terrace), because they have huge queue and bad coffee quality. So buy inside whatever you want (as take away) and enjoy terrace view.

A little over 2 hours drive from Prague, but worth the journey! Breathtaking scenery around every bend. The main green trail is easy. The yellow trail is more intense terrain, but well marked. Impossible to get lost. I spent 5 hours here.

Incredible piece of nature. It is not my first time here but I always enjoy it. No toilets, but the walk is not that long. Outside places with souvenirs, food and drinks. Cash only for food, tickets are fine for debit card.

Absolutely amazing day trip, it's a bit tiring but overall I'd definitely recommend. Some of the views are stunning.

Great place for a hike. Really impressive rocks, nice viewpoints. Tickets are for scheduled hours, so plan your visit few hours before.

The Adršpach-Teplice Rocks are absolutely stunning! The natural rock formations and breathtaking scenery make it a must-visit destination. We opted for the green trail, a beautiful hike that took us around an hour and a half through the park. The walk was peaceful and offered amazing views at every turn. Just a heads up, you need to book your tickets in advance. We scheduled our visit for 5:00 PM, which turned out to be the perfect time—great weather and fewer crowds. Highly recommend!

Beautiful place! Walk through the stairs and paths, well organized for tourists.

Wonderful place and gorgeous nature. I recommend taking the blue trail, it is over 6 km and not simple, but there are the most beautiful rocks there.

It's a very historically important church. It's a wooden church with beautiful exterior architecture. There's a small cemetery surrounding the church. While many churches in Poland are free to enter, this one costs 14 zł, with an additional 5 zł if you have a camera. I didn't go in because there were large groups of people inside.

Worth to see, very nice little wooden church with beautiful well maintained grounds. Ticket is cheap and you can spend there as much time as you want. To there there you can leave your car on paid parking and take a walk. Some little shops and coffee places around. View is spectacular

A small wooden Viking-style church surrounded by a small old cemetery. The steep trip up will reward you with breathtaking views. What I don’t accept personally is paying an entrance fee to a church!

Karpacz and Wang Church are kinda places you should visit before die! I had visit there by my bike 🚲, saw amazing nature and had an amazing experience.

If you want to see an original Norwegian Stave Church without travelling North, that is the solution. The history behind is even more interesting. Definitely worth visiting.

Such a beautiful building in beautiful surroundings. Well worth the trip. A printed sheet of the narrative is available in different languages. Very popular attraction

A unique 12th-century wooden church originally built in Norway and relocated to Karpacz in the 19th century. Surrounded by the stunning Karkonosze mountains, Wang Church blends Viking architecture with Christian symbolism. A peaceful place for reflection, history, and beautiful views — a must-see when visiting Karpacz.

Very interesting church. It is one of a kind. It was much smaller than I expected. Definitely worth the visit. My only disappointment is that it’s so unique but you can’t take a picture of yourself inside. Granted there are few people who do not show respect when taking a pic, the remainder of the folks have to suffer for other’s bad decisions. this place is good for a quick stop.

An absolutely fascinating and hauntingly beautiful place to visit. The Sedlec Ossuary is unlike anything else — both eerie and awe-inspiring at the same time. The artistry and respect shown in how the bones are arranged is incredible; it really makes you reflect on history, mortality, and craftsmanship all at once. I visited on a weekday and had almost no wait to get in, which made the experience even better. The site is well-preserved, informative, and surprisingly peaceful. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re anywhere near Kutná Hora — it’s a quick trip from Prague and completely worth it. Buying tickets in advance isn’t necessary if you go early in the day, but it can’t hurt during busy seasons.

Came to Kutna Hora being a fan of KCD 2, and had to stop by this famous spot. I think my girlfriend thought I was a bit off for wanting to go to a church, but she ended up loving it just as much as me! Also don't be a doofus, pay attention and NO PHOTOGRAPHY OR VIDEOS!! There's a visitor's center just a short walk down the street where you buy tickets, or you can do so online ahead of time. Gift shop was cool, had some KCD related items as well

Amazing experience really, it’s currently under renovations but you can go inside and see everything no problem, I actually liked I got to see the experts working on the renovations also. You can’t take photograph’s but I promise it’s so worth it. This are some fotos of the outside. O recommend buying tickets before hand.

Gorgeous but small ossuary. I'd give it five stars if it was allowed to tak pictures. I'd just like to have memory of my visit, respectfully.

Unfriendly staff. There is no ticket office at the location. There is no explanation of the history of the place. High price. Half of the place is well kept, the other half is ”ongoing”. Place serves it purpose: you get the immediate vibes of looking at real bones of thousands of people. You have to be into it to enjoy the experience. I didn’t. Would not recommend.

A small but very unique church. No need to spend more than 15 min inside inside. No photography is allowed inside. Tickets needed and can be purchased online with timing of your visit to be indicated.

Massive Gothic cathedral that serves as the main draw for this town. Beautiful interiors complement the towering external structure. Also featured intricate stained glass. There's a free audio/text guide that provided good context to the visit.

A beautiful church that rivals St Vitus Cathedral in Prague. We spent an hour+ here doing the audio guide on our phones. The audio guide was very informative and easy to use. The exterior of the church is gorgeous, it's hard to choose between St Barbara's or St Vitus in Prague Castle. The interior of the church is also very interesting and beautiful. It was lovely to see so many regences to the town's mining history.

The entire complex of which the cathedral is a part is immense, extraordinarily beautiful, and the cathedral itself is huge, a construction that is no longer made nowadays. When you go up to the cathedral, you are enveloped by a feeling of well-being and happiness. You can buy a ticket just for the cathedral or another one that includes the ossuary from Sedlec , but the ossuary is just for advertising, it's not worth visiting, it's in another town, not far away.

Very impressive cathedral- worth a visit. The audio guide was a bit boring, but maybe that’s just me! It’s very cool to go upstairs and walk around in the loft above the arched ceilings below!

Unbelievable! 10/10 must see! I've sen many pictures of this amazing Gothic church before coming here, but this is one of those places you simply have to experience. It doesn't even seem real. The detail of the masonry on both the exterior and interior are nothing short of stunnung. Stepping inside, was the most ornate and beautifully decorated church I've ever seen. From the masonry, to the carved statues painted and guilded in gold, simply stunning. And to think that construction started over 600 years ago is mind bending! Kuta Hora started as a simple monestary, until one of the monks found silver, and it quickly became one of the largest and wealthiest mines in Europe. At one point in time it was estimated that 30% of the silver that existed in Europe came from Kutna Hora, making it one of the wealthiest cities in all of Europe. With all that wealth came the funding to construct the fantastical. The Works started in 1388 and continued until 1588. Sadly, during the 200 years of construction, the mines began to run out of silver, and with it, the funds to continue construction. You will notice a seemingly plain and flat elevation on the north wall, a departure from the wildly complicated structure, leaving you impressed, but longing for the full vision to have been seen through. Tickets to enter are cheap, and beyond worth it.

A truly unique church/cathedral with the way it’s been built in separate parts over the last 600 years. For kingdom come deliverance fans it’s a must, I even bought a silver Groschen from the gift shop!

Very beautiful church on amazing grounds. It compares to St-Vitus church in Prague. All the sculptures presented in the alley getting to the church reminded me of Charles Bridge. Beautiful. The church itself is very well preserved, though it was weirdly "missing" some stained glass windows at some places (I doubt that it was initially built with crystal clear windows, but I might be wrong). Informative display collection and presentation of historical facts upstairs, near the organ. The views of Kutna Hora from the church's site are splendid.

Took these photo during my trip to Prague from Vienna in 2022 Mid Dec. Walking from the train station to old town square before reaching the castle. Quite an eye opening as walking from train station to the castle lets you experience many of the old historical buildings. Nice place to visit. History: Prague's Old Town Square, or Staroměstské náměstí, has served as the city's main public gathering space since the 10th century. Surrounded by historic architecture spanning multiple periods

The main square of the city and probably biggest and most visited sight in the whole city. A large square surrounded by medieval buildings, of which the most famous are the old town hall and the church of the madonna. Absolutely fabulous and a must visit place, which of course has it's drawbacks: it is extremely packed with tourists.

Amazing square, a must go in Prague! Beautiful everywhere you look. It is usually packed with tourists so I’d recommend going in the morning and spending at least 30 minutes soaking in the vibe

This square in Prague has delightful architecture to see. It also has the famous Astronomical Clock. There are many restaurants with outdoor places to sit and eat. You can go to the top of the Old Town Hall by walking up many steps or purchasing an elevator ticket. Here you will see great views of the surrounding areas from up there.

The Old Town Square is definitely the kind of place where you get an incredible view no matter what coordinate you stand on or which way you look. ​It’s always packed with tourists (even when it was pouring rain!), but Prague, Czech Republic, is one of those cities that just instantly lifts your spirits and makes you feel happy. ​If you’re lucky, you might even spot two giant dogs, just like the ones in the picture. (They are seriously a sight to behold in real life!) I wonder what breed those dogs are? ​Anyway, I don't think I'll ever forget this square—it’s the hub where so many famous landmarks meet. Prague, you're totally stuck in my memory!

One of the oldest parts of the city is the heart of medieval Prague. The most significant square of historical Prague, founded in the 12th century, has witnessed many historical events. In addition to the Old Town Hall and the Church of Our Lady before Týn, the square is dominated by the Baroque Church of St. Nicholas, the Rococo Kinsky Palace, the Gothic House at the Stone Bell and the Jan Hus Monument. On the pavement of the square there are memorial stones commemorating the execution of 27 Czech lords in 1621 and the Prague Meridian. Perhaps the most beautiful square in the whole city. Gothic houses and churches; cobblestone streets and squares; stone towers create an amazing historical atmosphere. And all kinds of bars, restaurants, dance clubs, shops of international brands, galleries and hotels give energy to the old city, presenting its modern face.

The most beautiful and historical centre of Prague! The astronomical clock, St. Nicholas church, church of our lady and other historical buildings are located around the square. The Old Town Square remains a vibrant place with many pavement cafes and restaurants, frequent concerts in the churches, street performances, and seasonal markets like Christmas and Easter markets.

Prague's Old Town Hall is one of the city's most beautiful historical landmarks. It is a famous astronomical clock built in 1410 AD, the third of its kind, attracting crowds of tourists every hour. It offers a stunning panoramic view of Prague's red rooftops, Old Town Square, and the Vltava River. The building's historic atmosphere and well-preserved interior make the experience even more special. If you visit Prague, don't miss a visit to this iconic landmark! The clock is located on the south wall of the Old Town Hall in Old Town Square. The clock mechanism consists of three main components: the astronomical disc, which represents the position of the sun and moon in the sky and displays various astronomical details; statues of various Catholic saints standing on either side of the clock; the "March of the Apostles," an hourly display of animated apostles and other sculptures, notably a skeleton representing Death, striking the time; and a calendar disc with medallions representing the months. According to local legend, the city will suffer if the clock is neglected and its good work is jeopardized. A ghost attached to the clock is said to nod its head in confirmation. Legend also states that the only hope lies in a boy born on New Year's Eve.

The Old Town Hall is one of the main sights of Prague. It dominates the impressive and beautiful Old Town Square. It was built in the 14th century in gothic style with a tall tower (which you can enter for a fee to enjoy fantastic views). It also has an astronomical clock with a performance at every hour during day time.

Great view from the tower. One of the best is Prague. You can take elevator or be brave and have fun and walk the stairs for a few flights then it is an easy incline ramp to the top, until you get to a spiral stair that has a stop & go light! Fun place to see the town

The best part of this place is the tower view, which comes with a price tag. But trust me, it’s worth it. The view from above is breathtaking, and it’s definitely worth the money. Check out my picture to see the amazing view you can get.

You do not have to buy a tour to climb (or ride the elevator) up the astronomical clock tower. You are able to go to their ticket booth and buy a ticket, possibly even at a discounted price if you’re there just as they open. I’m so glad our walking tour guide from the day before told us this! All of the ”guided tour” tickets were either sold out or did not work with our schedule, so having this information allowed us to experience this historical clock tower. There are two interior elevators, the first one everyone can take, the second one is for those who paid for elevator tickets. The second elevator is a circular glass elevator that will take you to the top of where you can go. Otherwise, you walk up steps and ramps. The view is beautiful, even if you have gone up other towers in the area. Apparently, Prague is known as “the city of a hundred spires!” This one is definitely worth visiting!

A symbol of the Czech Republic, an object of national cultural heritage, a symbol of the history of Prague and the oldest institution of Czech self-government. At the end of World War II, its dungeons became the centre of the Prague Uprising against Nazism, and the town hall was almost completely destroyed by shelling. Even the bell from 1313 was not preserved, and the altar of the Chapel of the Virgin Mary was also seriously damaged. However, the people of Prague have restored their national treasure, and today you too can enjoy the Old Town Astronomical Clock with its depiction of the procession of the twelve apostles, the grandeur of the state rooms, the elegance of the Chapel of the Virgin Mary and the mysterious Romanesque-Gothic dungeon. Be sure to take our space elevator to the top of the Town Hall Tower for a stunning view of all of Prague.

Beautiful historic town square, would highly recommend heading there between 8-9am and you will absolutely miss the crowds. Also if you want to see the astronomical clock working and in action, make sure you are there on the hour.

Took these photos during my day trip to Prague on 2022 mid Dec. A wonderful site walk to the castle back to the train station. Love the history sites. The Charles Bridge is Prague's iconic medieval stone bridge, built from 1357 to 1402 under the auspices of King Charles IV to replace the flood-destroyed Judith Bridge. Connecting the Old Town with the Lesser Town across the Vltava River, the Gothic structure was the city's only river crossing for centuries, making it a crucial trade and procession route. Originally known as the Stone Bridge, it was officially renamed the Charles Bridge in 1870. A defining feature is the continuous alley of 30 Baroque statues and sculptures of saints that adorn its length, added mainly in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Most are now replicas, with the originals preserved in a museum, though they retain the bridge's mystical aura. The most famous statue commemorates St. John of Nepomuk, who legend says was martyred by being thrown from the bridge. Since 1965, the bridge has been pedestrian-only, transforming it into a vibrant hub for artists and musicians. It is a quintessential Prague experience, offering panoramic views of the city, including the majestic Prague Castle.

This was the first place I visited when I arrived in Prague. The bridge was much less crowded than usual, but there were still a lot of tourists. It was extremely foggy, so nothing was visible. After sunrise, the views were incredibly beautiful. I recommend going just before sunrise, especially if you want to take beautiful photos. The bridge gets extremely crowded around noon. There are 30 Baroque statues on the bridge. This bridge will be one of your favorite places in Prague.

Must see at sunset or at night I recommend. Beautiful unique statues all along both sides with great views of the city on both sides of the river. Pretty crowded but not any problem. You can pay for a ticket in the tower on the east side once you climb up several levels that will get you to the top for cool views of the bridge.

One of the most beautiful bridges in the world, the key is to come here early in the morning around 5:30/6 am when the sun is slowly rising. There’s a lot less tourists and people so you can take some great photos and really take in the scenery. It gets extremely crowded in the afternoon onwards. All of the statues and history of the bridge truly are mesmerizing, this is a must visit if in Prague.

This bridge features amazing architecture, statues, river views and medieval era feel! Go early or late in the day if you want to avoid tourist jams. Don’t miss the Old Town Tower and stairs to the top at the east end of the bridge👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Charles Bridge (Karlův most) An absolute highlight in Prague, truly an impressive and historic landmark. Walking across this bridge feels like walking through centuries of history. The view over the Vltava River and the city skyline is just stunning, especially in the evening. I visited on a Wednesday evening in October, it was lively but not overcrowded, just the perfect time to enjoy the atmosphere without the big tourist crowds. You’ll find street musicians, artists, and an amazing vibe that captures the spirit of Prague. ⭐️ 5 stars! A must-see in Prague, both for the view and the history.

Charles Bridge is one of the most magical places in Prague — a true masterpiece that captures the city’s charm and history. Walking across it feels like stepping back in time, surrounded by beautiful baroque statues, the sound of street musicians, and incredible views of Prague Castle and the Vltava River. It’s especially enchanting early in the morning or at sunset when the light reflects on the water and the bridge feels almost dreamlike. Each statue tells a story, and every view from the bridge looks like a postcard. It’s a place where history, art, and atmosphere come together perfectly.

Visited Prague Castle and the surrounding building during my trip in Mid Dec 2022. I took the 1st train in the morning from Vienna to Prague, train ride about 5hrs plus, reached around 12pm where i slowly walk over to the Prague Castle. I must said i love the history and the architect, very beautiful, a must visit place. Abit of History of this castle and the surrounding building: Prague Castle is a vast complex of palaces, churches, offices, and gardens, established in the 9th century and now a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is the official seat of the President of the Czech Republic and showcases a blend of architectural styles from Romanesque to Gothic and 20th-century additions. The castle complex is one of the largest in the world, covering approximately 110 acres. Key buildings within the Prague Castle complex: St. Vitus Cathedral: The dominant feature of the castle, this Gothic cathedral is the largest and most important temple in Prague. Its construction spanned centuries, finally concluding in 1929. It is the site of coronations, houses the Bohemian Crown Jewels, and contains the tombs of many Bohemian kings. Old Royal Palace: The former seat of Bohemian princes and kings, this palace features Romanesque foundations and a magnificent late Gothic Vladislav Hall. St. George's Basilica: The oldest surviving church within Prague Castle, this basilica dates to 920 AD and is a fine example of Romanesque architecture. Golden Lane: This charming, narrow street is lined with small, colorful 16th-century houses originally built for castle guards and goldsmiths. Later, it famously housed writer Franz Kafka. Today, the houses contain exhibits and souvenir shops. Lobkowicz Palace: The only privately owned building in the complex, this palace showcases a significant private art and musical collection.

We bought tickets ahead of time, which was helpful since Prague is bustling no matter the time of year! The palace complex is massive and beautiful! Unfortunately, the palace itself was closed for an event, but we were able to explore the Cathedral and other areas within the complex. The stain glass windows are stunning and we had a good chuckle about the Starbucks with the grounds. We also were able to witness the changing of the guards, which was cool! Don’t miss out on the gardens and buildings outside of the main area!

Nice and interesting to visit overall but the basilica can be skipped. The Cathedral is beautiful. The museum is interesting and it offers nice views of the city from the terrace. A ticket to the tower is extra (200 czk) and can be purchased from the ticket office in front of the Cathedral.

Fantastic architecture, stunning buildings,you buy a ticket and it is valid for 3 days, as there is a lot to see in 1 trip,easy to get to,we got a taxi there, then walked back into town, (all down hill).only thing i felt spoilt it was it has a Starbucks in the grounds, just a bit bizarre. But we'll worth a visit.

Worth getting at ticket for the standard circuit in advance on the official website. You can then take a tram to the top of the castle grounds and work your way through the complex before ending the day with a nice refreshment at the bar area, before making your way down the steps.

Prague Castle is an absolutely fascinating place and one of the highlights of my trip to Prague. It’s not just a castle, it’s a whole complex full of history, stunning architecture, and beautiful views of the city. Walking through its courtyards and old buildings feels like stepping back in time. The atmosphere is amazing, especially when you see the mix of Gothic, Baroque, and Romanesque styles all in one place. The castle grounds are very well maintained, and there’s so much to see including St. Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace, and the charming Golden Lane. Getting there was easy, and the entrance process was smooth with no long lines. I really enjoyed taking my time exploring, as every corner has something interesting to discover. From the top, the panoramic view of Prague is absolutely breathtaking. If you’re visiting the city, Prague Castle is definitely a must visit attraction. It’s a place full of culture, beauty, and history that leaves a lasting impression.

Prague Castle was an awesome place for our family to visit! We stuck to the free areas to avoid the long lines (not ideal with kids), but there was still plenty to explore and enjoy. The architecture, views, and atmosphere were all incredible. The changing of the guard ceremony at noon was definitely the highlight—everyone in the family loved it. A must-see when visiting Prague!

St. Vitus Cathedral is truly a masterpiece and one of the most breathtaking landmarks I have ever visited. The moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by incredible Gothic architecture, beautiful stained-glass windows, and a sense of history that fills every corner of the cathedral. It’s located within Prague Castle, which makes the visit even more special since you can explore the entire castle complex at the same time. Getting in was surprisingly easy there was no waiting line, and the entry process was smooth and well organized. The details in the interior are stunning; every column, sculpture, and window tells a story. The atmosphere inside is peaceful and awe inspiring, especially when sunlight passes through the colorful glass. If you’re visiting Prague, St. Vitus Cathedral is an absolute must-see. It’s not only a symbol of the city’s rich history but also one of the most impressive examples of Gothic architecture in Europe.

A breathtaking masterpiece — a must-see in Prague! St. Vitus Cathedral absolutely took my breath away. The moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by stunning Gothic architecture, intricate stained-glass windows, and an atmosphere that feels almost otherworldly. The sunlight streaming through the colorful glass paints the walls in beautiful shades — it’s hard not to just stand there and stare in awe. Climbing up the tower is definitely worth it too — the view of Prague from the top is spectacular, especially on a clear day. You can see the red rooftops, the river, and the whole city spread out beneath you. It’s a bit of a climb, but totally worth the effort. Even if you’re not religious, the history and craftsmanship here are fascinating. The details on every arch, sculpture, and window tell stories that go back centuries. I’d recommend visiting early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the big crowds, and take your time walking around the Prague Castle complex — it’s all connected and full of history. Overall, St. Vitus Cathedral is one of the most beautiful and memorable places I’ve ever visited.

High above Prague towers St. Vitus Cathedral, the largest Gothic church in the Czech Republic, mausoleum for the Bohemian kings, and repository of the Bohemian crown jewels. The history of this imposing structure begins around 930, when Duke Wenceslaus I commissioned the construction of a Romanesque rotunda to house a relic, an arm, of St. Vitus. The presence of this relic contributed to the conversion of the local population to Christianity. This proved successful, as in 1060 Prince Spytihněv II decided to commission a new, larger Romanesque basilica to replace the rotunda. The new basilica also housed the tomb of Duke Wenceslaus I, who had since been canonized. After the Bishop of Prague was elevated to archbishop, King John the Blind laid the foundation stone for the current Gothic cathedral on November 21, 1344. Ultimately, the cathedral took 585 years to build (in phases), and it wasn't officially consecrated until 1929. This exceptionally long construction period certainly paid off. The building is 124 meters long, 34 meters high, and has three towers; the large south tower rises another 11 meters above the two 88-meter-high west towers. The most noteworthy elements of the interior are the magnificent stained-glass windows, several of which were designed by Alphonse Mucha. There are also the royal tombs: Charles IV, Rudolf II, Ferdinand I, and Maximilian II (all King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor) are buried in the cathedral. Furthermore, the Bohemian Crown Jewels (including the Crown of Saint Wenceslas) have been kept here since 1791. These are rarely shown to the public (replicas are on display in the Royal Palace). So, there's more than enough to admire in St. Vitus Cathedral!

2025-October St. Vitus Cathedral is gothically beautiful and definitely worth a visit while exploring Prague Castle. The stained-glass windows and Gothic details are impressive, and the size of the cathedral adds to its grandeur. However, having seen cathedrals in Rome and Madrid, I’d say St. Vitus doesn’t quite reach that same level of awe. It’s still remarkable, but it felt more like a historical landmark than a deeply moving experience. Still, it’s one of the top highlights within the Prague Castle complex and absolutely worth seeing.

I was amazed by St. Vitus Cathedral, the largest and most important cathedral in the Czech Republic. Words cannot describe the cathedral's size; just walking around it takes minutes. The cathedral's interior is truly stunning. There's a large main altar, several smaller altars, and wonderful historical sculptures and paintings on the walls. The cathedral is only open from 12:00 to 15:40, and it gets incredibly crowded. Don't leave Prague without visiting this cathedral.

Architecture is nothing less than insane. There is no picture I can show that will justify how beautiful this place is. If you go during the day, I highly recommend you revisit after dark when it the lights are on. Note, I didn't go inside, but I have heard it's great. In that case you will need to buy a ticket

A marvelleous piece of medieval church architechture and a huge and beautiful cathedral. Really impressive. The big negative side was, that the church was overful with people - and it wasn't even high season. It was impossible to truly enjoy the church, when the place was so packed that you felt like being sardines in a tin. Feels like the oversell tickets - entrance should be more regulated. But still amazing!
