The apartment we stayed in was even nicer in real life than the pictures showed. We were very happy about our stay, and the staff was very service-oriented and accommodating to our needs. We could check in a little bit earlier than usual, and also leave our luggage for some hours after checking out, while we were strolling around in the old town before taking out bus back to Helsinki. Thank you for a wonderful comfortable stay!

It was under construction, but still a sight and experience to behold! I recommend as a visit. My family and I enjoyed it. Outside near the church is great space to walk around and nearby restaurants to eat.

Great little trip from the city. The ferry ride takes about 15 minutes. Suomenlinna is a great place to walk around and explore. It has some beautiful views and is filled with a lot of history. They have a couple cafes where you can grab treats/drinks while you wait for the ferry back. Definitely something to add it to your itinerary.

Temppeliaukio Church is one of the main tourist attractions in Helsinki. Tourists come there by bus, by vans, by walking... 8 euro entrance fee doesn't matter, people wanna see what is "must see" in Helsinki. So, tourists who have only one or two days time to spend in Helsinki prefer to visit Temppeliaukio Church. One can hear there a real mix of languages. No doubt, Temppeliaukio Church is worth of visit. It is architecturally a very special building. To create this kind of church - a church excavated into the rock, with a dome made from copper strip for ideal acoustics, with ceiling windows for natural light to come in - has been a genious insight. Even though there were so many visitors in Temppeliaukio Church when we were there, I enjoyed very much to finally see well this church.

One of the best museums I’ve ever visited! Definitely worth checking out, especially with kids. It’s full of informative and interactive exhibits related to maritime history. There’s a real submarine you can enter and explore in detail. You’ll also find various ships, sails, maps, cannons, and seaplanes. Two seaplanes let you sit inside and try a basic but fun flight simulation. There’s also a remote-control boat activity where you can steer small ships, and a computer game where you rescue someone at sea. A small submarine theater shows a lovely cartoon about the importance of sea life and keeping the Baltic Sea clean. Kids can try rope climbing up a mast (extra fee) and enjoy a small playground. There’s so much to see and do—highly recommended! 😄

Visited with hubby and teenage daughter. Spent longer in there than we thought we would. Found it interesting but we're history nerds. Others, probably nipped round quicker. Good view across old town square from top floor. Didn't climb the tower - too many stairs!

One of the most beautiful squares I’ve been to in Europe! Beautiful architecture and a great place to just sit and relax. Riga is wonderful ❤️❤️

It has an atmosphere of history. Feel it something different, special. But if you want just admiring art and handcraft you can also find that. The place huge and monumental in a way. Challenge your self!

A Trip Back in Time at Trakai Castle! Wow, what an incredible place! If you want to feel like you’ve stepped straight into a fairytale, you absolutely have to visit Trakai Castle. The whole experience starts with a walk across a wooden bridge over the lake, and the view of the majestic red-brick towers is just breathtaking. From the moment you arrive, you get this amazing medieval feeling. We had the best time exploring the cobblestone courtyard, climbing the wooden stairs, and peeking into the old halls. You can almost hear the echoes of knights and dukes from centuries ago! The museum inside is really well done and brings the castle's fascinating history to life. It truly feels like a journey back to the 15th century. Just a friendly heads-up, the castle is currently undergoing some important restoration work to keep it looking fantastic for years to come. While this means some areas might be sectioned off, it honestly didn't affect our visit. There is still so much to see and explore, and the atmosphere is completely magical. Don't let the ongoing work put you off! This place is 100% worth the visit for its stunning beauty and incredible historical vibe. We absolutely loved it!

Very interesting museum, including whole history of Kaunas, from middle ages, through Communism to twenty first century. Highly recommended for all tourists visiting Kaunas :3

Visiting this water park was a dream come true — first because of its unique Soviet-era architecture, and second because it turned out to be a really fun water park as well! Our favorite part was the jumping ball in one of the pools. Definitely worth a visit!

A beautiful place and calming garden. It’s peaceful, perfect for walks and picnics. I love all the squirrels 🐿️, pigeons 🕊️, and peacocks 🦚 I also love the theatre and the old orangery. I’ve had the pleasure to sing there, it was fantastic 🎶🎙️

Amazing museum. We got there around two hours before closing and still couldn’t get through it all! We did stop often to read the signs. It really gives a sense of how that terrible period was like with commentary that is still relevant today. Good price and clean place. Took a tram nearby to the old town.

This is a place you can’t miss when visiting Toruń. From the moment you enter, you can feel the great atmosphere—people are friendly and fun. It’s a fantastic spot for everyone, whether children or adults. You can learn how gingerbread was made in the past and even bake your own at the end of the experience. I recommend booking tickets in advance, as availability is limited and they sell out quickly.

Amazing street, filled with restaurants and shops. I would say the heart of the city. Lots of palacial buildings. This is where the well-off used to live back in the glory days.

A truly magical place. Visiting Jasna Góra Monastery was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is filled with peace and spiritual energy. You can feel a deep sense of calm and sacredness the moment you walk through the gates. A must-visit for anyone seeking reflection, history, or simply a moment of inner peace.

This guided tour was only a little about Schindler as it walks you through the story of Poland in WW2 from different perspectives. Very informative and the hour and a half tour was the perfect length. Our guide spoke clearly and concisely (in English) and was very engaging as she told this fascinating story. We booked tickets and tour online which was a great choice: we skipped the long queue out front and were ushered inside first when our time came. I highly recommend this tour and the guide is so worth it. We definitely would not have got the depth of understanding if we’d gone in on our own. I was deeply moved at various points; this is an experience I will not forget.

Before the car ban, before the selfie sticks, before the pigeons unionized and claimed squatter’s rights on every statue, Rynek Główny was a quieter kind of majestic. I remember sitting on the old fountain ledge, legs dangling, watching Fiats roll past like they had somewhere important to be, which, in Kraków, usually meant a café or a cousin’s name day. There were no tourists then, just locals and the occasional accordion player who looked like he’d been playing since the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Now, the square is a theatrical masterpiece. It’s the largest medieval town square in Europe, and it flaunts that fact with the confidence of a peacock in a velvet smoking jacket. The Cloth Hall stands like a Renaissance handbag, full of amber and embroidered napkins, while St. Mary’s Basilica plays its hourly hejnał like Kraków’s heartbeat, a truncated trumpet tune that still manages to stir something ancient in you. One summer, I watched a tourist on a Segway wearing a nun outfit glide past a mime while a brass band played “Dancing Queen.” I was sipping espresso, trying to decide whether this was divine intervention or just Kraków being Kraków. The underground museum is a marvel, but the real treasure is above ground, where every cobblestone feels like it remembers your grandmother’s pierogi recipe. Prices have crept up, sure, but you’re paying for ambiance, architectural flirtation, and the existential thrill of being in a place that’s survived Mongol invasions, partitions, and stag parties. The pigeons are still here, still judging, still ready to steal your obwarzanek if you blink. Rynek Główny isn’t just a square, it’s a stage, a memory, a slightly chaotic love letter to Polish resilience and theatricality. Come for the history, stay for the surrealism, leave with a heart full of amber and a camera full of pigeons.

It was absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend visiting! The tour lasts about 2–3 hours and is split into two parts: the salt mine itself and a museum tour afterwards. You can skip the museum if you’re tired. I paid 143 Zł, which I think is totally fair for such a unique experience. The tour guide was fantastic—very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and open. There’s a lot of walking and many stairs,😂 so I’d recommend comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for moving around. It’s definitely suitable for children above a certain age and for older visitors as long as they’re fairly mobile, but it’s not ideal for anyone with limited mobility. As for the highlights: the first massive hall was breathtaking, the two underground lakes were stunning, the underground church was on another level, and the final hall left me completely amazed. All in all, I learned so much that day and had an unforgettable adventure. An absolute must-see!

The Wawel Royal Castle, on the Wawel Hill, is one the most, historically and culturally, important sites in Poland. Used to be the residence of kings in the past, the castle is now one very important art museum. You need 4-5 hours to visit all chambers and see all the art exhibits. A collection of paintings, prints, sculpture, textiles, tapestry, arms and armor, ceramics.. There is an entrance fee for the most rooms, but there are some parts you can visit for free. Do not miss a walk around the hill, it's truly fantastic if the weather is good!

It's worth going here to get some understanding of the scale and suffering that Jews and others had handed out by the Nazis during their time in power. Walking around the camp just shows what man can do to fellow man. The suffering and death on an industrial scale. The museum does well to preserve the past so we don't forget. There is a lot of walking involved so plan ahead especially if you take a guided tour as they move quickly but do give you lots of information about the camp and the people who went through the gates, many for the last time.

The Wrocław Zoo is absolutely amazing. The territory is huge, beautifully maintained, and full of animals from all around the world. One of the highlights is definitely the Afrykarium (aquarium) – breathtaking and worth the visit on its own. I spent about 4 hours walking through the entire area and covered roughly 8 km – that’s how big and impressive it is! There are plenty of toilets and food courts, which makes the visit convenient, especially for families. Prices for food and extras are on the higher side, but it’s definitely worth it for such a unique experience. For parents: renting a children’s wheeled cart costs 30 zł per day, which can be very helpful. Overall, an unforgettable experience and one of the top attractions in Wrocław. Highly recommended for everybody

The water park is very cool and very big. There are many water slides and many pools. There is also an indoor part of the water park but the bigger part is the outdoor one. The water park is in a beautiful spot. Where you see the beautiful mountain scenery. The water park is a little crowded but is still great.

Beautiful and unique, and somewhat extraordinary, I'd say. A nice story to go with it could enhance the monument—perhaps I missed it. Bratislava is an interesting place and the center of a virtually "newly born" state. Undoubtedly, Bratislava has a Hungarian history, followed by a "twinning" with the Czech Republic. Slovaks can be proud of their history and should take the opportunity to showcase their Hungarian and, to some extent, Austrian roots—after all, Bratislava was the capital of Hungary for a long time. During this time, the Habsburgs and the German-speaking population played an important role in Bratislava. Explanations of the many well-restored buildings and monuments should also be provided in German and Hungarian.

What a lovely place, perched up over the city as castles often are, providing great views across the city and river Danube. Free entry to gardens around the castle and well worth a visit. There is more than one entrance and exit to the castle, but the main entrance at the top of the steep hill has the nicest entrance with a lovely gateway entrance. There is a red bus that takes you up and down the hill, l didn't use it so unsure of the cost, but worth knowing if you are not great with steep climbs.
