We felt very welcome, the lady provided a good explanation of their wines and we had the chance to do some tasting, we bought some amazing bottles. Our dogs were welcome too!

Did a great little wine tasting as part of a Viking cruise. The host gave a great history of the winery and the tasting cellar was a great ambiance for a tasting. We tried some of the best wines, and they threw in a red they have been playing with that was actually pretty good. I think they will get there with the reds with further development. We just had a little palate cleansing bread and stuff for our tasting, but they have food and the menu looked pretty good to me. Didnot have time to go back for a full meal, but per our guide their food was very good. A nice small quaint winery, and I would recommend worth a stop in to check it out in a classically beautiful Germanic medieval architecture

We were welcomed by Monika, a kind lady who knows her wine! She gave us tastings of their Trockens, as we prefer the dry rheislings. It was a lovely visit and we were happy to buy a few bottles.

My wife and I were welcomed for a complete and engaging tasting of more that seven of their excellent wines, all of them Rieslings, and each unique. An education in top Rieslings.

Fantastic wine super nice staff

Too expensive wine tasting without a proper info... not friendly people...

Not open in winter

It was enjoyable to see the church. So impressive that it is built into the rock. We were bummed to find out that the opening hours that are listed on Google are only in conjunction with having tickets for a tour. There is a nice trail to walk up above the church to look at the ruins.

Just an amazing view. You can visit the church by a guided tour only. Our guide Mr. Becker was great - we were alone with him in the church which was a very special experience.

Unique church with so much history. Guide was vey informative.

Closed when we got there, but the little hike was nice and got some great pictures. Thanks you 👍 loves you

Its a stair climb to get here but a really beautiful little Church. Has an interesting history and has a myth about 2 brothers and why it was built. It has a spring in it to. Worth the time to check it out.

Amazing church carved directly into the rock face. A bit of a walk to get to it. A small spring is inside. Interesting story behind this church. Beautiful view from inside and above. Castle ruin nearby. No parking at the church but plenty in the village. Well worth the trip if you are in the area.

Was stationed near there in the U.S. Army in 1970 thru 1972. It was a very historic town. Lots of German history.

I wish the guide was more interested in the tour he gives us. Sorry I was disappointed. Expected more stories historie than facts I could read on the panels.

It's nice, but it's COLD. Make sure to pack an extra jacket or a sweater. Do not underestimate it, it's like being in a really big freezer. The tour is quite nice though, it's really in depth! There are some stairs which you need to conquer but I think they also have a wheelchair accessible route! Would recommend.

Well preserved bunker with many exhibits and details. Unfortunately the guide spoke only French, so we didn't receive enough information. Maybe audioguides or signs in english could save the situation. The excursion is long, be ready to walk a lot, as well as cold temperature inside all year around, so better to take a coat.

From the people running the visitor centre to the guys conducting the tour, it was excellent. The walk up to the entrance is quite arduous for us oldies and then you have to walk down wet stairs, to get to the tunnels. The tour takes quite a while and is a fair bit of walking. Loud noises abound as some of the ventilation and engines still work, and they are demonstrated! Super interesting, a unique experience. The English tour was at 1500, French and German language tours are also available.

Very interesting and well presented by the staff.

Amazing glimpse into the Magniot Line fortifications - the bunker system is incredibly well preserved and huge in scope! The 3 hour tour is great value at 12 euros, although if you want it in English you have to book ahead (I jumped on a German tour but knowing some WW2 background helped me understand most of it through context). Bring something to keep you or kids warm as it's about 9 Celsius in the bunker and you quickly chill! Info in English is essentially nonexistent, but to see some of the above-ground structures and tank/infantry defences you'll need to follow the red and green trails (no charge). I just drove slightly north and parked on the E85 road which has easier access - you can't miss the tank defences! All-in-all a great attraction and great value - I highly recommended the tour.

Amazing.

An absolutely brilliant experience for the whole family. We loved every minute of the 3.5 km trail. The variety is incredible – from soft grass to challenging stones, and of course, the famous clay pit which was so much fun! The final river crossing is a great, refreshing finish. Highly recommended for a unique day out.

A really fun experience! The park is really well kept and there is such a great variation of things to do. You go through mud, cold water and can even Wade through the river. You walk over lots of surfaces like rocks, sand and corks. And there are lots of playground - style activities. The whole family would have lots of fun here - it only costs €4 per person. My favorite part was definitely the boat across the river that your partner has to control from the shore.

This is a very nice riverside walking path that is mixture of foot sensation, obstacle course, nature education, and playground. Easily the most well designed, well maintained barefoot pad I've seen (And it's 30+ years old!) I used Google maps to direct us to this exact pin, and found clear signs for parking (large, free, paved, partially shaded lot) and then while walking, signs and Google led us through a small tunnel to the kasse, where I purchased tickets for myself and children (5 euro for adults, 3 for kids 4+ years, free for younger than 4); there was no line on this week day September 2022 afternoon. Before we entered the park, we had a snack in front of the park entrance at one of the several picnic benches, where there are also clean indoor bathrooms and bicycle parking stations. Once you enter the grounds, there is a foot washing station, lockers to rent for a 1 euro coin (which I did, and left our shoes, our snacks since I didn't know there would be picnic benches along the route), and free open cubbies if all you need to leave are your shoes. I wore the two year old, while the other two walked. You enter the path by diving in to the mud path, which is by far the best mud pack I've seen, about 1 foot deep of pure mud and muddy water, with globs of mud sifting between your toes - it was wonderful. The rest of the path is less messy, mostly different walking textures and some water features, and lots of balance beams and obstacles. The nicest surprise was the opportunity to wade through the Nahe river, which I was unfortunately unable to do as I my kids were too small. It appeared to get quite deep (knee to waist high, I'd guess), but there are two cables running across for you to hold onto to keep your balance; if you don't feel like wading across the river, there is a wooden bridge just ahead that will bring you across to rest of the path. If I remember correctly you don't miss anything by taking the shortcut provided by wading across the river (rather than the bridge) except perhaps one informational sign that was just slightly different from the rest on the path, I've posted it it in this review. The playground stations are near the end of the path, which is good because that is when my 4yo had just begun complaining. The path is indeed 3.5 km but thankfully quite flat, but VERY sunny with very few shady opportunities. It is basically a big loop, but since both directions hug the river, it feels like an out-and-back, just 50 meters apart There are many benches and picking tables throughout the course. There is a food kiosk at the end, with tables to sit, relax, and enjoy wine, beer, ice cream, or pretzels after your journey 😊. They do take cards, though it didn't work today. The path was not very crowded at all on this particular day; we never had to wait for anyone else getting stuck behind them. Bring water with or without food and hats/sunscreen if sunny, and wear clothes that you can get wet up to your knees/waist in (or a change of clothes!).

This was a fun day out however we went on a very hot day and the ground was burning our feet and some of the items were too hot to stand on. Not enough water stops to cool feet, definitely don't recommend on hot days or if your feet are sensitive as some of the water crossings were rough and hurt plus paths stoney.

A different experience for sure. Not quite what I thought I was getting myself into, but we enjoyed our afternoon. The mud pit at the beginning has quite the off putting smell, so be prepared for that. Pretty views along the walk, & we got lucky because there was a band playing today that we got to enjoy along with our beer & bretzels.

I have never experienced a barefoot park, so I was beyond excited to try it. I love how it jumps right into the clay path, as soon as you begin. The obstacles were fun and my kids were loving it. That is until my son had a piece of mulch cut his foot at the playground and I stepped on a twig that had an endless amounts of thorns on it. We continued on the path to get back to the front desk, where they had no first aid kit or bandages. I wish the mulch was substituted with something else, maybe sand for an example. The twig incident is beyond their control, clearly just bad luck on my behalf. You can walk on the grass, instead of the mulch which is what we did for a lot of the path. At the end of the course, they have snack and drink bars, and a fountain to wash up before you leave. This was like a one and done experience for my family and I. Cool experience but never again bare foot. Maybe with water shoes it would have been amazing!

"Barfuß" means "Bare foot", so as the name suggests, this is a bare foot experience where one has to walk without shoes or slippers on a walk path of around 3 km. This walk path had different parts like a part where one has to wade through around 30cm deep mud puddle, there were parts with pebble, sand and wooden Chips to walk upon. It also had different obstacles to cross like zig-zag plank, hanging logs, small wooden pillars, etc. The best part for me to wade through a knee deep river stream (off course there was two parallel ropes to hold by both hands and walk). Flat paths were covered with grass as well as stones and bricks. It was all together a different experience and exposure of feet to different surface in a short walk. For some, it could be boring, for some painful, but for some unique and exciting. I liked some parts like mud (although it was bit stinky and pebbles down felt like piercing my sole), sand pit, fresh water stream and some obstacles, but didn't like pebbles and wooden Chips parts because they were hurting more than having fun. There is a Bier Garden at the starting point of the walking path (which also is the end of it) where you can find very limited items (mainly snacks and drinks) in the menu list. There is a wonderful Public pool cum Aqua Park (Frei- und Erlebnisbad "Am Rosenberg") very near to it. One can plan the visit their combined with Barfuß to enjoy the whole day.

The Citadel of Bitche is an impressive sight perched above the quiet town in northeastern France. With its massive stone walls and commanding views, it tells the story of a town that has withstood centuries of conflict. Though less famous than other French fortresses like the Citadel of Carcassonne, Bitche still offers a solid, if more understated, experience for history lovers. Unlike Carcassonne, which is packed with shops, medieval streets, and a castle-like atmosphere, Bitche’s citadel leans more toward a focused historical visit. There’s a multimedia experience inside that takes you through the sieges and military importance of the site, and it’s well done; perhaps not as extensive or immersive as some might expect. Facilities are modest but convenient. There’s a small gift shop and a café for a snack or coffee after your visit, and parking is no problem at all. There’s plenty of space, including designated spots for camper vans, making it a great stop for road trippers exploring the region. While it may not be a full-day destination like some of France’s better-known citadels, the Citadel of Bitche has a unique, quiet charm. It’s a worthwhile detour if you’re nearby and interested in military history or off-the-beaten-path landmarks. Just come with measured expectations and you’ll find a well-preserved monument with stunning views and a dose of French history without the crowds.

Interesting history inside, but particularly loved the garden of peace outside (additional entrance fee of 3 Euros) which was a joy to be in on a sunny day.

Nice stop while camping nearby. There is a tour with audio option available which is roughly two hours. Fantastic structure.

The citadel is very nice, historical place with nice panoramic views from the citadel and to view Bitche city from above

I would like to give it four stars or more because it really was thrilling. However, it was scary and the woman at the ticket office did not help me very much It was so long of walk up on slippery cobblestones so be careful. I was a bit afraid of slipping, because I am older. Also, the fort is huge and you walk through rooms in the dark fortunately, there is another room and another room. When I got to the end a woman made me a good panini. But be careful if you ask for a glass of water and your French isn’t good. She offered. L’eau de Mirable which is a Schnapps!

A remarkable place. On a fine and clear day you can enjoy fantastic views from up there, even as far as the Black forest in Germany. The war-torn history of the citadel can be relived during a tour of the interior, with various episodes presented on film in various rooms within the citadel. Headphones for the tour are available in several languages.

Citadel was cool to see. The audio tour was kind of disappointing - it’s more of walking while watching a movie. There’s no background given so unless you know the history it can be confusing. The grounds are nice - we finished the tour too late so we were unable to check out the gift shop or cafe.

As we take a moment to reflect, it is essential to honor the brave men and women who fought valiantly for the freedoms we cherish today. Their sacrifices have paved the way for us to enjoy fundamental rights such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion. This remembrance not only deepens our appreciation for our liberties but also inspires us to uphold the values they fought for, ensuring that future generations can experience the same privileges. The Rhine River, with its stunning vistas, offers a picturesque backdrop, especially during the summer months. The lush vineyards that line its banks create a vibrant tapestry of green, while charming towns dot the landscape, each with its unique character. As you gaze upon the river, you can see various cargo ships navigating its waters, transporting goods and adding to the lively atmosphere. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of majestic castles perched on hilltops, standing as timeless guardians of history. Additionally, the region boasts a diverse array of parks, providing serene spaces for relaxation and exploration, making the Rhine a truly enchanting destination.

Wonderful cable car ride from Rudesheim, views of vineyards and surrounding countryside, very peaceful but a bit chilly in the wind. A short walk to the monument, bit of a hill, but worth it. Amazing views of the Rhine and all around, the monument is massive, really impressive and the history (to read on placards) is very interesting. Nice little outdoor takeaway for drinks and snacks, note.. you pay a deposit for proper cups. Restaurant as well but didn't use it. A place well worth seeing!!

We had a good tour up here, we got the ring tickets which included cable car through the vineyard , chairlift and boat back. The view at the monument is beautiful totally worth it and the hike through the forest to the chairlift is good too.

Impressive monument, fun to ride the gondola up there. There is a little restaurant up there. Impressive views! It's worth going up to see. If the weather is good, it is a nice day. We had poor weather so we didn't stay long. You can ride the gondola down (keep your ticket) or walk down through the vineyards.

Lovely views up here, was on a Rhine tour up through here on the way back to Frankfurt. Amazing views on a blue sky day. One of the best views to end a day

Beautiful spot for a view and photos! Nice walk too! Highly recommend!

Super nice spot to enjoy the sunset and the sweeping views over the Rhine valley. I enjoyed the fact that the French contemplated blowing up the whole thing during their occupation of the area after WW1. Fortunately, they didn't. Hence: Vive la France.

A private museum with great and unique collection of mechanical musical Instruments. A what is great that is not just exhibition, you receive a 45 minute guided tour, where you you get to know and to hear different instruments. Guides know at least 4 different languages, what is very rare also. The museum was worth every cent I paid. Just be ready that tours start every hour, so you might need to wait a bit.

Best museum I have been to in a long time. I wanted to see all of them play but understandably from a time perspective that just isnt possible. It truly is sad that we have lost so much of that beautiful craftmanship. The building itself is beautiful. The tour guides were very friendly. All in all I would honestly love to return if I am ever in the area again.

I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. The guide was informative and fun and the history of these incredible contraptions was fascinating. The tour was fast paced and well done.

A small but fascinating museum. I did the guided tour as a group. A vast array of mechanical musical instruments which show how ingenious humans can be when we out out minds to something positive.

A friend of mine recommended Siegfried's Mechanical Music Cabinet Museum, even though they visited almost 20 years ago. I'm so glad I took their advice! The tour guide was absolutely superb—not only were they genuinely funny, expertly switching between German and English, but they were also incredibly knowledgeable and even good on the piano! Their passion for the collection really made the experience. It's a very niche experience, but I'm still scratching my head wondering how all those instruments play themselves with such precision. For the price, it's great value for money and well worth the experience. I highly recommend it!

What a brfilliant museum. We hjad a tour to ourselves and the museum staff allowed us to store our cases in a locked room. We had a good tour around of a number of different rooms containg lots of instruments and ouir guide gave us information about certain machines and demonstrated them. All of them were interesting and fascinating. It was so good to see so many working machines, some huge, some tiny and all producing wonerful music.There are also some very old wall and ceiling paintings in some of the rooms. Even though the tour is only 45 minutes it was good value for money

Wow! The museum not only has a vast selection of player pianos, but player orchestras, too. And much, much more. I learned a lot during our tour. The building itself is a former grand home and is beautiful in its own right. Definitely worth a visit.

Nice attraction for adults and kids. Nice views and tasks for kids to do. Would recommend visiting if in the area.

Family trip on weekday! Totally worth it! So many things to discover for kids and the views are amazing. Adults €5, kids €3.

Interesting castle ruins. For the kids there is a fun adventure leading through the woods to the castle with a story and assignmenta that include a slide, climbing, bouncy nets, making music and cool figures hidden in the woods. Accessible with a dog (mention you have a large dog when buying tickets).

Very neat castle with great views. The walk to the castle is rather easy, but walking around the castle would be difficult if you have mobility issues. The cost to get in was only 5 euro and the food at the cafe was great. I highly recommend visiting this castle.

Excellent place to visit! Kid and family friendly—this is a place you’ll be sad you missed if you’re visiting the area. There’s ample parking for whatever sized vehicle you’ve got. My minivan had no problems. From there, it’s a short hike to the welcome center—tickets, souvenirs, sitting area, and cafe. Fair priced and quick service! Then, you either go on the kid’s challenge trail OR head directly to the ruins. Visiting the ruins is included in the cost of the kids challenge trail. For my family of 5 (with a 4, 6, and 8 year old), we did the kids challenge trail. It engages the kids as the parents get to soak in the views, and it teaches everyone the history of the area. This ends up taking you on a nature hike thru the woods, and up to the actual ruins. The ruins are amazing—you can feel the history, and are granted some spectacular views. My kids loved it, and my wife and I noted how easy it was to get there, spend a day, and never think twice about much. It’s about an hour and a half from the Kaiserslautern area. The staff speaks German, French, and a fair bit of English. 100% recommend this place!

Very nice visitors center and cafeteria... Very cool ruined Schloss with an interesting history. Had a neat set up for the kids, an interactive tour from one section of the ruins to the next. Ruins are part of a large Forrest preserve with hiking trails that lead to several other castles. 👌

What a place. Came here on a Wednesday afternoon with one other adult and my three kids ages 5,3, and 1.5 years. I wore the baby and the other two walked (with some shoulder riding from parking lot for the 3yo). We entered the parking lot at the first entrance, not realizing (or stopping to read the sign) that you can drive all the way to the end of it and be a few minutes walk closer to the trail entrance. Once at the end of the parking lot, or after the sharp turn in the road after the beginning of the lot, you’ll see a trail in the woods that runs parallel to the road (which is at this point restricted to buses or staff only). The trail took us about 10 minutes and has some cool stuff about mining to see along the way. It might have been stroller accessible for an offroading stroller, but we didn’t bring one as there is no way to use it in the castle. Once you get to the information center, you’re in a small little courtyard of sorts, with the ticket and gift shop on the left, a restaurant at the far end, a kids feature on the right (an additional fee that we didn’t purchase), and bathrooms at the entrance on the right. We purchased tickets for us adults as the kids were free (€10 total I believe) and set off to the castle, which took another 5-10 minutes of walking. Once you’re at the castle, there are tons of staircases, both paved and uneven stony ones, in and out of the castle, to explore. It feels like you could get lost in such a good way, with secret staircases and little rooms hidden off the side of halls and stairs. There are fun stories for the kids to follow about someone named Hugo discovering the ruins, and they do a great job with sighs explaining what areas were used for and images showing how it might have been used. The best part of the castle, though, is the top, where it feels like you’re in a castle in the sky. Mind blowing to thing of how they made this castle so long ago, so high on this rock formation. The views are spectacular, even if all you see is forest and other rock formations. There are apparently a few other castles in the area, presumably on a hiking route, but we didn’t have enough time or energy to continue explaining. After the castle, we had ice cream at the cafe and bought toys for the kids at the store (I was pleasantly surprised at the prices). Most of the food was pre prepared quiches and wurst and whatnot which we didn’t want. Overall, this was an amazing afternoon trip that took about 2-3 hours total, for us with about 20 minutes of walking in shade on a forest path with tons of stair climbing once in the castle, for a very reasonable price for adults.

Slightly expensive but worth it if you spend all day. The park is well maintained. Plenty of services. Parking is free. Great picnic spots. Excellent family time, especially with kids (2-13 year olds)

Very nice friendly ! For all ages ! Highly recommended! A lot of things to do !

It is a great place for children. There is not a very large variety of games, but the children had a lot of fun there. The place is not overcrowded this way, the waiting lines are not long.

Good Park , restaurants good and toilets very clean,

I love diddy land so much the food the kid friendly attractions etc so much fun I did find a bottle of baby oil outside the bins but who knows

Nice place, our kids enjoyed a lot!

For children up to 10 is a nice way to have fun for the day

Somewhat mysterious place. Guarded and protected against morons. Think have something on your head. Oldest gravestone is on the end of this cemetery. Is from year 1100. Description is in German language so does in English. Rather without a backpack.

At just under an area covering nearly four acres this is purportedly the oldest Jewish Cemetery in Europe and holds UNESCO World Heritage Status. In a nature setting abundant with trees and lush long grass, many graves with Hebrew epitaphed lichen encrusted headstones blend alongside more recent elaborate similarly time worn obelisks. The cemetery suffered vandal damage during the pogroms of 1615 and 1618. Although not in use since 1911 a final interment took place in 1940, ironically during the Nazi Holocaust. This is a site conducive to deep spiritual reflection in recognition of the Jewish presence in Worms since the 10th century. Whilst visiting, gentlemen are required to wear a head covering in accordance with Jewish tradition.

Entrance only with a hat for men. Solemn and serene atmosphere in this Jewish cemetery.

Solemn and peaceful. Make sure to bring a head covering if you're a man.

The oldest Jewish Cemetary in Europe with garves dating back a millenia. Also the final resting spot for several prominent German Jews from history. It is a place for quiet reflection. The cemetery is very sombre and well maintained. The old gravestones are especially fascinating and make for great pictures. When you visit Be respectful All men are expected to cover their heads.

Kever Of baal aderes eliyahu, mahril. Cavas yair. Amongst others. קבר של מהריל. קבר של חוות יאיר. ושל אליהו בעל שם (אדרת אליהו). Walk into the gate (as pictured) either take the path immediately on the left for about 4/5 min (over grass a bit right before the chelkas harabonim) and then little hill downwards into chelka. Or u can continue straight down the main path till steps on the left (pics inclu) continue that path for about 3 mins till u see path going down into small hill (ditch) on the left (next the big wall of cemetery).

A historically and emotionally important place

Lovely 12th-century catholic Church, built in Romanesque style. Inside, one can see Gothic reliefs from the abandoned cloisters, gravestones and grave plates of bishops.

Dom St Peter is a beautiful cathedral in Worms. The exterior is very impressive and there are many stunning stained glass windows to view as you explore the inside of the cathedral

It’s an impressive cathedral that is the major sight of this town. It’s free to enter, so take your chance to go inside and walk around. Part of it is under reconstruction now.

Amazing cathedral with huge towers. The stained glass inside was spectacular. The front is being restored so go around the back for great photos.

Didnt get to enjoy the views inside, just outside and it was just beautifull

Huge internal space like hangars for Zeppelins. View inside with shadows and sunbeams looks like from Angels and Desmond , da Vinci code or Diablo game. Large and Colourful window racks make it even more hypnotic. Description in German and English language. Is bit visible how was it he cathedral constructed, modified during centuries, Something looks older, something new. But look’s better than in Regensburg or Heidelberg. Parking for cars and bikes is outside, you can have probably some paid guide, old Jews cemetery near.

I was so excited to explore and just be I. The same city as this church. The architecture and history here is just stunning. Every area is very detailed and since being built around 1120 it has been maintained and kept in impeccable shape. I would suggest seeing this church. And don’t forget to check out the street filled with monuments and statues of some of the most important figures of the cathedrals/cities history.

Did the guided tour for 10€ less 1€ discount from our hotel. It really is worth doing. The casino is absolutely stunning with a fascinating history. The tour takes 40 minutes and you are allowed to take photos. A nice interlude on a cold day.

NOT GOING BACK. SERVICE NOT SO GOOD, ONLY 1-2 Tables (Roulette & something else). Didn’t see BlackJack and above all, no one there to provide any material gestures of guidance or hospitality. Actually saw the 2 tables at about 3-4PM, and was totally unimpressed. Baden-Baden yes, Casino pass it. The architecture is fantastic, and the inside quite clean. The coat-check lady was nice; but the Admissions lady was definitely not nice. I was well-dressed in a black-leather jacket, tux-white shirt and a gold-laced bow tie. The B forced me to drop €10-20 on an unnecessary jacket rental; and was a snot about it. Reminded me of my first encounters in East Germany when The Wall was coming down. They thought of everything, but the people and what they might need. Walking away, I saw the Illuminati of the Casio Bar. What could go wrong here? They had everything, but a bartender; because the 3 or 4 of them were kind of in the back corner talking. No attention whatsoever to customers. As an afterthought, a bartender appeared. WOW. For the $$$$ they were charging I worried about buying dinner. Service = 5/10. Real nice place if you want to hold your mouth open, but if you came to play Blackjack or another game—you’d have more fun by a long shot at the Tampa Seminole Hard Rock Cafe (at half the cost). Not so cool. They have a lot to learn about taking care of the client. When I turned in my Jacket, Ms. N. Admissions was supervising the coat check lady with a specious, down-the-nose look. Really Surprised as was my darling. The surrounding promenade OUTSIDE OF THE CASINO was filled with Baden-Baden interest, history, and adventure.

The Baden-Baden casino is truly stunning: an elegant, refined place full of history, definitely worth a visit. However, what a strange idea to force men to wear a jacket in the middle of summer, with the heat unbearable and the air conditioning not really up to the task. In the end, you end up sweating more than betting… A shame that such an outdated rule slightly spoils the experience in such a prestigious venue!

Absolutely beautiful and unique casino. We were just doing the guided tour, but I had love to go on night to see the atmosphere...

Cool building architecture and park in front of the building, one of the oldest casino in the world (designed in 1824) gained its fame in 1830s when gambling was banned in France.

Very nice lady at the front desk Paid 5 euros per person entrance fee There is a dress code for guys, you have to wear a blazer if not you can rent one for 10 euros We were given a locker to put our stuff inside. The interior of the casino is beautiful, majestic Highly recommend visiting

Absolutely gorgeous.. a must visit in Baden Baden!!.. it has a 200 yr old history.. the interiors are just amazing.. you could do a tour for a small fee earlier in the day or just soak up the casino vibes after 3pm. Even if you do not want to gamble you can always just get a drink inside 😉

Good hike up the hill - steep! Paths are well done. Viewpoint at the top. The lake itself is tiny, takes less than 5 mins to walk around. Shops/restaurant quite expensive for the quality. Bit of a tourist trap.

Easily accessed in May, via great roads. Watch the corners. Has a restaurant, a shop and a short walk around a little lake. You can boat on it. It's a stopover for an hour or 2, great views.

The place to be for an amazing and beautiful view. You will keep it in your heart forever ♥️ …amazing food, delicious breakfast buffet, clean and comfy rooms, kind people, the BEST “Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte” aka. Blackforest cake. Enjoy 💋

Beautiful place to stop and enjoy a break. Woodland and lake walks plus restaurant and various shops. The walks are great. Everything in the shops looks top notch but is a complete tourist trap with high prices. However, if you see something you like, you probably won't be disappointed with the quality.

One of a kind experience. Reached on a drizzly afternoon. Small pathway to walk around the lake. Grab a cake from shop nearby and find a cabin to enjoy the view.

A small lake in the mountains with a hotel and gift shop where you can get Black Forest ham, cake and original hand crafted cuckoo clocks.

If you’re around Black Forest, Mummelsee is a must. It’s eerie yet romantic — felt like a scene straight out of Raaz. Walk around the lake, find the mermaid statue at the far end, and soak in the legend. Had the original Black Forest cake there — totally worth it. Picked up some cute cuckoo clock souvenirs too. Loved the vibe. Would go again.

A nice funicular (railway cable-car) leading to a lovely mountain top with amazing view and nice spots for a picnic. Theres ride takes a few minutes. The tower at the top offers stairs or an elevator (however even with an elevator there are a few steps to climb). There’s also a restaurant there.

An absolute must. We walked from central Baden Baden to the station which was initially very steep. It then levels out. (Regular buses & lots of car parking). The view and walking trails are great. The cafe is reasonably priced. Naturally we scoffed a Black forest gateau which was excellent.

Very accessible by public transportation. The railway itself is amazing, and the view of the Black Forest from the top is stunning. An absolute recommendation!

🚠 Merkur Funicular Railway – A Scenic Ride to Breathtaking Views The Merkur Funicular Railway in Baden-Baden offers a delightful experience, combining a smooth ascent with stunning vistas. For just €7 round-trip, visitors are treated to panoramic views of Baden-Baden, the Black Forest, and on clear days, even the Vosges Mountains in France. The ride is quick and smooth, making it accessible for all ages. At the summit, the Merkur Tower provides an elevated perspective, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast or simply seeking a unique outing, this funicular ride is a must-do in Baden-Baden.

The ride was easy, very little waiting time. The views from the top of vernicular railway were fantastic with cool breeze, sun and good clarity." I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles" came into my head! Can be fresh up there so wear appropriate clothes. Tried to cycle up to the begin point of railway but spent most of time walking with bikes so be warned!! It's steep!

Great way to experience the mountains of Baden-Baden. The day we went here, it was raining. So, the funicular saved our day. The ride to the top is fairly quick. Once you get to the top, the view from there is mind blowing. There's also a tower built there, which gives access to go further high up and the view keeps getting better. A must visit if you are in the area.

This castle was decent to travel to and check out. It was only 50 minutes away and was worth the short drive. The views were pretty cool and the sound of nature around the castle was nice. The castle is free so no need to purchase anything. Just stop by and give it a look

This was around March 2025 and they had a lot of construction going on. You have the option to either hike all the way to the top (not sure how long it is) or you can do as I did - drive up there. That saved the energy to walk around and explore the grounds. Beautiful view - absolutely stunning! If you are in Darmstadt, you have to pay a visit.

Pretty neat little castle ruins. Free parking within a 5 min walk, free admission. Has snack stand, bathrooms, and you can explore almost the whole thing. But to be honest, its pretty small, so you only need to plan for maybe an hour total. But was cool to see. The best part was, not crowded. There were only a small amount of people there, and we went on a Saturday.

Ideal spot to look beyond the years... you can look over a large area from here and all the domain Frankenstein castle offered. There are beautiful trails around the area to hike as well. Also, there is a nice café you can enjoy after a long day.

I visited this castle on sunday. Almost empty with astonishing views and sunny skies. The castle opens at 7.30 in the morning. Highly recommend for a short hike from Malchen, Seeheim-Jungenheim.

Very charming castle ruin. Currently under renovation, but still fun to see. You can climb stairs to the tower and wall. Partially wheelchair accessible with assistance.

Cool place to visit. No admittance fee, no tickets needed. Renovations are being done to the outer wall but can still walk about the grounds and the tower. Beautiful shade tree.

I am walking on the Old Bridge in Heidelberg. The views are amazing and there are many spots to take photos. The bridge has a beautiful historic charm and you can see the river and the old town from here. It is a perfect place to enjoy a peaceful stroll and capture memories.

The Old Bridge in Heidelberg is simply stunning. Standing on it feels like being right in the middle of all the beauty — the river, the castle above, and the charming old town around you. It’s such a picturesque and peaceful spot, perfect for soaking in the atmosphere of Heidelberg

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

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

Old Bridge in Heidelberg is a popular tourist spot and a great place for photos, especially near the famous monkey statue. From the bridge, you get beautiful views of the Neckar River. You can enjoy boating on the river or take a walk along the nearby garden on its banks for a relaxing experience.

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

Dating back to the 13th century, this castle is impressive and has a unique architectural character compared with other castles. Several sections have been carefully restored, while others are intentionally kept as ruins, which adds to its atmosphere. You can visit a fascinating pharmacy laboratory museum inside, though access to the other interior areas is unfortunately restricted. The grounds include an enormous garden and provide breathtaking views of the city. Entrance fee is 11,00 € for adults. Walking through the castle and soaking up its centuries-old history was an unforgettable experience.

Very beautiful view over the whole city including the hills, the river, and a breathtaking sunset in the horizon. The garden is sooo big and “instagrammable” with many spots for selfies and photos. The castle is not big but has a beautiful winery, restaurant, small museum, beautiful facade, but most importantly an amazing high terrace overlooking the city. The tickets include a ride on the cable tramway taking you all the way to the tip of the mountain. A beautiful ride and nice view.

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

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

Visiting Heidelberg Castle felt like stepping into a storybook. The walk up is a bit steep, but completely worth it for the stunning views over the city and the Neckar River. The castle itself has a beautiful mix of grandeur and ruin, which gives it so much character and history. I especially enjoyed wandering through the gardens and taking in the scenery. My recommendation is to take your time and just enjoy the atmosphere as well as to go before the sunset. Highly recommended!

Highly Recommend 👌👌👌 Heidelberg Castle is absolutely worth a visit! The views over the city and river are breathtaking, and the mix of old architecture and history makes it special. Don’t miss the giant wine barrel or the Pharmacy Museum. Go at sunset for amazing photos. The only problem is parking especially on the weekends, this place is crowded with visitors.

I didnt go into the palace(entrancee fee was around 20EUR) but it was so beautiful even only outside. I saw the panoramic view to the city. It was perfect.

Within Heidelberg Castle is this museum, which in great detail tells the history of medicines through the ages. Many visits would be required to take it all in. The sheer number of exhibits, set out as Apothecary shops is amazing

This is museum, that you can find in the Heidelberg castle. It has a couple big rooms, where you can find a lot of shelves with apothecary glass. It interesting. But it is a pity that you can’t buy some glass like in museum. Only one bottle there was.

The museum is quite small so there's a traffic light system at the entrance in an attempt to keep it from overcrowding but, in my experience, it didn't work. Perhaps people just ignore it. I found it far too packed inside to see even a fraction of all the interesting exhibits, let alone stop to read the labels. A shame, because it's a really well curated museum and fascinating subject.

It’s not very big, but it’s full of fascinating displays including but not limited to old jars, herbal remedies, antique tools and entire reconstructed apothecary shops. It gave me a real sense of how medicine was prepared centuries ago. I loved how detailed everything was and it made me appreciate how far science has come while still being connected to old traditions. If you are already at the castle, it’s definitely worth stepping inside. Quite informative & unique.

I found this museum very interesting as it traces the history of medicine through the ages. It's a small and well organized museum. There is verbiage that guides you though the history. It's housed inside the Heidelberg castle. The crowd management is good

An interesting exhibition about pharmacy. The entry is free and it is inside the castle

I think this Apothecary Museum is good place to look around because it displays old days interiors of historic apothecaries. Furthermore admission fee is included in the castle ticket so that it is better and easier, no reason not to see this. With jars, herbs, powders its antique atmosphere was good and it was also a little fun to find things or medicines that I know of. It’s good enough, but may be a better place when visiting with kids.

A very large market square with shops and restaurants around the sides, we visited on Thursday and there was a good number of stalls in one corner of the space selling apparel

Lovely square of with the fountains. Easy to sit and watch. The flower displays are lovely.

Very large place with a vibrant atmosphere

The largest market square in Germany, very nice, underground parking available for a not so decent fee. Kinderplatz is also available, quite modern and well equipped.

Beautiful small town surrounded by Black Forest (dense pine trees forest). This is one of the place which most of European senior citizens will come for their vacation. Almost all building, old and new, have beautiful facade and decorated with beautiful blooming flowers. Have variety of shops selling good products. For moslems, there are several halal restaurants and cafes established by Turks and Indian moslems.

A beautiful square with shops and cafes surrounding it. There is no fee to go here. There are fountains which go off and on, great for a hot day to run in and out of if you dare! A great place to wander the time away

Every of Europe's city possess squares / platz.... for the citizens to gather and celebrate.... Marktplatz Freudenstad is one among them.... Decorated with spectacular floral gardens enhance it's beauty. The square is surrounded by numerous restaurants supplying the local taste.... and of course a church open all the time for the public for personal prayers...without which no European towns exist.

Great for young children, very educational. There is a 30 minutes walk to the peak, but with the activities along the way it could be over an hour. There are toilets at the end of the experience which is included in the price. Alternatively, there is one before entering which takes euro coins and gives no change back. I found this annoying as I hate to walk around with coins in my pocket. There are playgrounds at the end of the experience for children for which there is a separate fee. I would recommend it for or with children, for adults it is just okay.

Great educational and overall experience. From the entry way a walkway with education and activities for children brings you to the main area with the treetop walkway. Once at the top of the walkway you'll be able to see to the horizon in any direction and there are helpful arrows signposting significant locations and directions. For the adventurous there is a quick way down for only 2€ At the base is a extensive play area for children. Overall a really good experience and very worth the entry fee.

Good easy hike for the family. Fun nature facts are scattered throughout the walk (Kids 6yrs and 4yrs) though there’s admission fee and additional fees for the slide and the playground, worth it for the experience. Costs I’m sure go towards the upkeep. Everything is well maintained. Note: Bring 2€ coins to use the slide.

A very cool place! We visited the Treetop Walk in the Black Forest and really enjoyed it. Since the upper parking lot was full, we hiked up through the forest - a pleasant and scenic trail that made the visit even more rewarding. If you prefer an easier option, there’s a convenient cable car from Bad Wildbad that takes you right to the top. The treetop walkway itself costs around €10 per adult and offers beautiful panoramic views over the Black Forest. It’s an easy, accessible path suitable for all ages. At the top, there’s also a fun spiral tube slide you can take down for an extra €2 - a fun touch, especially for kids (or adventurous adults!). Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Absolutely wonderful walk through the forest. The Treetop walk is both stunningly beautiful and peaceful. If you are going on a weekend, try to go a little before or after midday (fewer folks up there). The views from the top of the tower are long and majestic. The Bergbahn runs up from Bad Wildbad every 30 minutes on the 15th and 45th minutes. Along the walking path are fun activities and some wonderful little bird box/people are hanging in the trees waiting to be discovered.

This is so much fun and a very easy walk from the car park. It offers stunning views and the slide back down is so much fun! Do not miss!

Great days outing in black forest region. Awesome views and activities along the walk and a slide down once you get to the top (extra cost). Parking was easy. Hint - take your own picnic or sandwiches before you head back down.

Reading the various reviews, we weren’t sure WHAT to expect! Indeed, we met the surly ladies at the desk, having arrived during a Sunday afternoon rush when they kept holding the line until other people came out . (Apparently, they ran out of lockers!) I’m amused that so many people complain about the nudity, given that you’re at a sauna in Germany! You’re allowed to wear a swimsuit in the historic part of the spa and in the super warm “blue pool.” It was about 70/30 naked during our visit. The sauna area and rooftop pool (not to be missed!!!) is 100% nude. Honestly, of all the places we’ve been, it felt weird to have swimsuits allowed alongside nudity. It sort of makes EVERYONE feel conspicuous. 🤷‍♂️ The place is an amazing labyrinth of nooks and crannies to explore. And I agree with the people who wish the warm pools in the historic section were warmer. 34•C is not very warm! I’m sure we’ll make our way back one day!

Fluffy towels and robes are provided for your use during your stay. The spa is excellent. The varied aufguss schedule runs hourly, we loved both the ice tea and music sessions and the varied scents used. The Moorish room is such a beautiful place to enjoy lunch. We had pizza and flamenkuchen - both reasonably priced and delicious. It was great to learn more about the history of the spa - thankfully a lady who spoke English translated it for us. It would be appreciated to have a version orinted in English to read and enjoy for those of us who speak German badly. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. We left refreshed and rejuvenated.

Firstly the interior is absolutely the stunning from the tiles and statues to the stained glass - all beautiful. The behavior we witnessed by other patrons was confronting, multiple individuals and couples were being sexually inappropriate with one another in public spaces. It made us extremely uncomfortable as we were there to relax. There were no staff members supervising/policing said rules. There was one particular male sitting on a water jet and moaning loud enough for staff at the cafe to hear and nothing was done. Note that you must be completely nude for the sauna, staff do not explicitly tell you this when you pay so if you’re not comfortable being nude (after what we saw there was no way we were) don’t bother adding it onto your pass. We will not be back. Stars provided as the interior is stunning. perhaps if we went on another day and people were acting like respectful members of society we would’ve had a phenomenal time. Alas this was not the case.

Calais thermal bad was simply amazing and relaxing! The facility is super well maintained and very clean, which wins mega plus point! ..Also the personnel is very helpful, friendly and professional! Pro tip: Mon-Fri. Palais opens only afer 1300h..The location is nested in the small town of Badwild Bad, Northern Blackforest, absolutely beautiful place to unwind and find your peace of mind! Best wishes! IH

AMAZING place. We come once a year from the United States. Note, 90% of what is accessible is cloning free - not optional. If you want to just relax in a warning bath there are rooms downstairs but if you want to enjoy the real saunas it is “textile” free - meaning you can walk around in a robe but when you go in you must be nude. When inside you bring a towel to sit on, but that’s it. Life is short, try it out! Literally no one cares what you look like inside.

Very nice thermes! The ground floor is only bath and very relaxing with big and small baths with different temperature. The saunas are on the higher floors and have all a different vibe. There is a bar and restaurant allowing you to have a drink and grab a bite easily during your stay.

This place is amazing. I spent a whole day here. The baths are very special. Beautiful. I was lucky to have the sunshine on my side and spent most of my day relaxing upstairs on the roof terrace and popping into the saunas and the pool. Can't wait until I can go back

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Badewelt Sinsheim. The facility is impeccably clean, well-maintained, and everything is organized with great attention to detail. From the moment you step in, you notice the high standards they maintain across all areas. The facilities are world-class — from the relaxing palm paradise and themed saunas to the crystal-clear pools and quiet zones. Whether you want to unwind, swim, or enjoy a full sauna session, everything is available and of top quality. A big plus is the restaurant, which offers surprisingly fresh and flavorful food. The menu is varied, the ingredients taste fresh, and the service is quick and friendly. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing spa experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I absolutely loved my time at Sinsheim Therme! From the moment we arrived, everything felt well thought out , the lockers, the comfortable seating areas, the spacious changing rooms, and the neatly organized showers made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. The food was fresh and tasty, and spending the day here with my family was such a joy. We booked one of the beach-style chairs, which made relaxing even better, and I loved how organized everything was — no chaos, no confusion, just pure relaxation. It’s the perfect place to unwind, have fun, and enjoy a beautiful day together.

I had a great time visiting this place. There's truly something for everyone, both adults and kids. I appreciated their focus on privacy and ensuring everyone follows common decency rules without making customers feel uncomfortable. However, the prices are a bit high for what's on offer, and it was a bit crowded for my liking. We had to wait in several areas to enjoy the different pools. I also wish the wristbands were a bit sturdier. The ones we got dissolved in water, making it nearly impossible to remember your locker number after a full day of swimming, visiting the saunas and steam baths. Another area that could use some improvement is the front desk customer service. Apart from giving us our wristbands, they didn't spend much time explaining what there was to do or where everything was located. They just assumed we knew our way around.

It was my first time at the Sinsheim Badewelt. The prices were to high and didn’t really offer much. The Therme in Bavaria has more to offer for almost the same amount … overall it was a nice experience though I wouldn’t be going back with the high prices … I’ll better go back to Bavaria 😂😂 I enjoyed the restaurant , good service. One of the reception ladies was not friendly…

I had very high expectations of this thermal bath but my experience was slightly disappointing. I've been to many thermal baths in Germany and other thermal baths were way better on several aspects. Vital and Sauna area: This area has been the most disappointing so far, there is only one crowded pool bar and an even more crowded tiny salt pool. Textile area: This area has one large pool and a few tiny overcrowded ones that we couldn't try because there was never any free space. Loungers availability: We had to book a double seat for 13 EUR, but for most other days only some outrageously expensive loungers were available (150 to 300 Eur). I've been to better thermal baths in Germany where such a lounger is only around 30-40 EUR instead of 200+ If you don't have a reserved seat, it can be difficult to find a place to sit. One thing I liked is that they have a few non reservable seats and they would clear your towels and belongings if you leave them on it while you're away. Food: Food can be a hit or miss, the chicken Thai curry was nothing like Thai curry and was barely edible. The chili con carne however was quite delicious. They do have some delicious dessert options and the food was not expensive and very beautifully plated. Water temperature: Water temperature was quite cold in my opinion, because a large part of the pool is outdoors and that probably affects the temperature of the water inside. It wasn't uncomfortable though. Air temperature was very pleasant and warm. Parking: Plenty of free parking spots were available. Showers and lockers: There very few showers so waiting times were quite longs and queues of 5-10 people were forming at times. Water temperature was good and the facilities were very clean. Sauna: One thing I loved was the cinema Sauna, you can watch a small documentary projected while inside the sauna. I didn't join any of the activities because the lines were insanely long which made the saunas fully packed. The steam bath was also really nice and the peeling options are amazing. Massage: Massages must be booked ahead of time. They also have some automatic massage beds but I couldn't find the cost mentioned anywhere. I think that's quite misleading. There thousands of real orchids and beautiful plants all over the pools, which was really nice. I'm not sure if I would come back again.

I’m 34 weeks pregnant and drove an hour to the pool, only to find that main pool is closed for renovations – with no notice online or anywhere else. This was a huge waste of time and energy. The indoor pool was uncomfortably warm and not refreshing at all. The outdoor pool area has nowhere to sit or relax, which makes it difficult to enjoy. Poor communication and poorly thought-out facilities. Not coming back. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!

Absolutely LOVED spending one of our first days in Germany here. We went on a Friday afternoon and probably will be back during the week when it won't be as busy. Would definitely recommend booking a private bed there for the day if you go as you're not allowed to reserve your own. The pool bar is super cute with delicious drinks and it's just a vibe. We also did the sauna part and that was by far THE BEST saunas we have ever been to. Each Sauna has a different theme. Absolutely recommend 👌

Amazing museum to get lost. Plan plenty of time to be there. We stayed the whole days. The museum conditions of w giant halls, planes the roof trops, outdoor exhibition of tanks, planes, playground and amusement parc. We liked best : slide down of one of the planes, Concore& Tupolev, fastest car in the world " Blue Flame" Monstertrack, car of " back from the future".... In hall 1 you can find the IMAX cinema, museum shop, American dream cars, military tanks, planes, helicopters and other vehicles, aircraft hangar, organs and bicycle racing. Hall 2 is allabout motorracing, formula 1, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Ralleycars, automobile from the beginning, 20s 40s 50s and modern automobile. On the rooftopyou find the Concord, Tupolev and the submarine.

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

Absolutely amazing experience, with the U-boat, Tupolev and Concorde as the major highlight. Do not miss this if you have the opportunity. Expect to spend between 2 and 4 hours. Good - experience some of the most amazing vehicles from up close. - build as an experience - there is actually too much too see - themed areas and some paid interactive displays.

One of the most fascinating museums l've ever been to because of its absolute mint condition of trains, planes and automobiles :) Expect to spend a few hours to a whole day to fully enjoy this huge museum! Very special to see in person was the supersonic airplanes …Concorde and Russian tupolev (Tu-144) and a real U-boat !! (Line ups may vary from 10min to 1hour) Great collection of Lambo’s, Ferrari’s and of course every classic German sports cars. Lots of outdoor parking (5.00€ ) Bonus: some of the special collection exhibits are interactive by putting 2€ coin fee which gives you a great real life example of a steam locomotive wheels in action with sounds, very impressive so just do it !

We've been wanting to go here for a few years as we passed it on the way to someplace else. So much to see and really loved walking inside the Concorde jet and the U boat. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was busy but not too bad. Parking is 5 euros. Lots of cars, tanks, motorcycles and more. Great for a family to spend a half day and the playground was fantastic with rides too.

Great, but it could be so much better. There are some amazing exhibits here, but they're displayed in a ramshackle and random manner. Having the planes at stage angles must have seemed like a good idea (maybe after a beer or two), but I think they'd be better level allowing people to walk through easily and concentrateon looking at the interiors fully.. Information on some of the exhibits is sparse or cut-and-paste from others. It is certainly worth a visit, but it has the potential to be absolutely amazing.

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

Four years have passed since my car went up in flames… and not a single word from Mercedes. No investigation, no concern, no accountability. How could this happen? Why did this happen? It seems those questions don’t matter—because to a company of this size, we, the customers, are not the priority. Our safety? Ignored. Our trust? Shattered. The only thing that truly matters to them is our money.

Terrible experience. We booked the intensive factory tour 3 months in advance. We arranged our whole European visit around this booking. It was going to be the highlight of our trip for our teenager. Mercedes cancelled 5 days before the tour date. Instead we were offered this terrible Discovery Tour which is a bus trip looking at the factory buildings. Ridiculous waste of time. Stay away!

Amazing experience. If you are a car freak then it’s a must visit.

I work for Mercedes Benz of Los Angeles and came here to pick up a European Delivery vehicle for a customer. First off, the class of service that was provided by the Mercedes Benz staff was AMAZING. I had such a good experience with everyone. The facility is really nice, the tour guides were worth the trip - the trip to this plant really opened my eyes about the brand itself. A LOT more respect for Mercedes Benz and their innovation for vehicles.

I bought a Mercedes Benz GLB 250, 4 months ago. Yesterday, while driving on the highway, when I use the liquid glass cleaner, the viper did not work. This is very dangerous. If this happened in the cold winter of Canada, it would lead to an irreparable accident. I'm really scared to drive this car right now. I dont feel safe with this car and I have three children and I am afraid to put them in the car. I think another part of this car does not work at all times. Please help me. I do not want to pay for a car in which I am not safe

DO NOT BUY MERCEDES-BENZ! I bought a new 2021 e-class 10 months ago and they sold me a car with so many problems that it is undrivable. I contacted everyone, including the factory from germany and after 10 months, i didn't got the money back, or the car fixed, or a replacement. In short, everybody told me to accept the scam, because they will not do anything to help me. So, after 10 months, i have a car that worth almost 100k euro, but i keep it in my parking lot, because i cannot drive it. I don't know how to fix this and nobody want's to fix it. I contacted EVERYONE from Mercedes and Dimnler. No success so far. So don't buy a Mercedes-benz, because it looks that is a common practice to screw customers over and they all say "I can't help you, accept the scam as it is."

I found the factory incredible, but the tour left a lot to be desired. The information was quite fast-paced and I couldn't get a very good overview on how the machines work because the distances are too far from our sight

If you are a car enthusiast, this is the place to stay. Close to some amazing dealers and the motor world garage itself. The rooms are nice and airy. The sauna is great. But the service is disappointing. We were missing some towels every day. The waiters don't have a handheld device to take orders, they use paper. This resulted in mistakes and frustrations.

This hotel is incredible, especially the theme rooms. I highly recommend it to all car fans. There are a lot of unique cars to be seen inside and around the hotel. Rooms are large and comfortable. They pay attention to every single details and the car-related decoration within the hotel is amazing. The McLaren shop in the lobby is quite nice as well. The bar/restaurant is good with reasonable price for the hotel.

One of the best hotel experiences we spent, me and my wife. The Themed rooms, the service level, the staff who is very friendly and supportive. I love it. we will come again for sure. Ms. Yasmine on the front desk is an amazing person. She made us want to come again for sure.

What an absolutely fabulous hotel. We had the Gulf themed room which was fantastic. Our air-conditioning wasn't working but they supplied two fans which helped. Staff were great and the cars in the hotel were amazing.We had a fabulous time.

Stopped by here on business trip. Great hotel very nice atmosphere. And loved the connection to Autoworld. All those nice cars gonthere if your a car lover

Really cool place to stay. I had one of the theme rooms and it was just too cool. Very large room with an okay view. The place is in the midst of several high end car dealerships which you can wander around and admire some nice vehicles. A few places to eat nearby, but the hotel restaurant was excellent. Prices ate bit higher than many places, but for the cool room and great food was not a bad deal. All the staff I dealt with were very helpful as well.

V8 Hotel, Stuttgart – Car Culture Heaven Wrapped in a Four-Star Stay ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re even remotely into cars — or if someone close to you is — this hotel isn’t just accommodation, it’s an experience. We stayed for a few days in the Tuner Room, part of the themed set of rooms that the V8 Hotel offers. It's built into the fabric of the place: not just car-themed wallpaper or posters, but full-blown automotive decor woven into the furniture — beds built into chopped shells, racing wheels as tables, and detailing that makes the room feel like a celebration of modified culture rather than a gimmick. The Tuner Room nailed the vibe — a blend of rebellious energy and nostalgic car show glory. This wasn’t a family trip — just the two of us, no kids — marking a milestone birthday with a getaway built around food, driving, and gearhead indulgence. V8 Hotel nailed all three. The location is unbeatable for anyone who lives and breathes horsepower. It’s not just near cool stuff — it is part of it. The hotel is directly connected to a classic car storage facility and auction house, and guests are free to walk through and admire the rotating selection of pristine machines: old Porsches, American muscle, early Benzes, and rare exotics. If you’re the kind of person who finds peace in a quiet showroom filled with history on wheels, this place is spiritual. Across the road, there’s a Harley-Davidson dealership, and above it, one of the most unexpectedly brilliant steakhouses we’ve come across. The vibe is relaxed but cool, and the food is spot-on — hearty, well-cooked, and clearly tailored to the clientele. It’s the kind of place where you can eat a huge steak, drink a German beer, and chat cars with half the tables around you without raising an eyebrow. Local restaurants nearby were all surprisingly well priced, and none of them felt like they were coasting on tourism. Good quality, fresh ingredients, and proper portions. Even the hotel’s own breakfast offering was solid — buffet-style, well laid out, and constantly replenished. Not a soggy croissant in sight. Highlight of the trip? We got lucky. On the Friday night, the local Corvette club rolled in for a meet. A proper group of enthusiasts — varied builds, lovely people, and a seriously healthy mix of vintage and modern ‘Vettes. We sat back with drinks in hand, watching C3s through C8s rumble in, owners chatting, doors open, bonnets up, and the hotel courtyard turned into a full-on mini car show within half an hour. Completely unplanned, but the kind of bonus you hope for when you stay somewhere like this. Parking is plentiful and secure. The entire place is clearly designed around car lovers — but it doesn't feel tacky or try-hard. It’s elegant, considered, and clearly created by people who get it. Would I go back? Without question. Next time I might try a different themed room just for variety, but the Tuner Room will be tough to beat. A perfect mix of automotive culture, creature comforts, and a location that puts you shoulder-to-shoulder with people who love what you love. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just a getaway with a twist, V8 Hotel should absolutely be on the bucket list of every petrolhead.

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

I loved how they still kept history alive for viewing and provided a free app guided tour. The shuttle to the castle from the parking lot, gift shops and bathrooms in both the castle and parking lot, and restaurants made the tour convenient. But the best parts were the view of nearby lands and beautiful artifacts.

This was a wonderful experience and this castle does not disappoint with sheer beauty located at the top of the mountain. I got lovely photos and videos. There is shuttle bus to the top and an app that gives you an audio tour. There are also many guides on site to answer questions and give you more history. There is a gift shop with beautiful souvenirs and an on site restaurant/bar/cafe. Well worth the visit and I recommend buying advance tickets which are slightly discounted. I also rented a super car on this trip and the drive from Stuttgart was scenic and so much fun in a performance car. Also recommend the drive.

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

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

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

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