Skydive Interlaken delivered a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience! Yvonne was an absolute gem — friendly, calm, and professional — and went above and beyond to rectify a situation with another company, ensuring everything went smoothly. From start to finish, the team made me feel safe, supported, and at ease, even while my nerves were running high. The views, the adrenaline, and the professionalism of everyone involved made this an unforgettable adventure. I am so grateful for the care and attention that made this jump such a memorable and exhilarating experience. 🪂

What an experience it was! Highly recommended for anyone seeking that ultimate thrill. What truly stood out was the warmth and professionalism of their amazing team. Hannah, my instructor, was incredibly confident and reassuring, while Yvonne captured some fantastic shots as I made the jump. The view of Interlaken from above was absolutely breathtaking! A huge thank you to Christian for ensuring everything went smoothly and we had an unforgettable experience!

5 stars all the way! The staff was professional, friendly and welcoming in their communication, facilities, instruction and equipment. Lorenzo was fantastic to jump with for my first time nerves. If you’re doubting just do it. It’s been a week since I did this and I am still buzzing from the rush. I can’t wait to come back and do it all over again! 🤩 🙌🏻

Had an absolutely amazing experience skydiving with Skydive Interlaken! My instructor Leon was awesome — super calm, friendly, and made the whole jump feel safe and exciting at the same time. Everyone there was super chill and welcoming, which made the whole vibe even better. Got really lucky that a spot opened up on my last day, and I’m so glad it did! Definitely an experience I’ll never forget — highly recommend it to anyone visiting Interlaken! 💯

Me and my wife went skydive with them on 11th October 2025, We booked 9AM Interlaken skydive, but 1 day before, their team contacted us and telling that Interlaken will be cloudy on 9am and offer us an free upgrade to Lauterbrunnen skydive on 12pm which they said the weather will be much better. (And they are 100% correct with the weather forecast 💯💯) So far, this is the best and most exciting activity i did in my life! We also want to thanks Craig & Dante who are very proffesional and those guys are really chill. They make our jump easy and really fun. I recommend them if you want to book a skydive. Thanks again guys, can't wait for the next jump 👍

It was my first time skydiving. I did a tandem jump with Jordy, my husband went with Leon. Sancho was with us. They all made us feel comfortable, safe, and were super encouraging. It was an amazing experience with a beautiful view, made all the better by the staff there. I would definitely recommend Skydive Interlaken for everyone! Well worth it!

I've been wanting to skydive with them since I studied abroad in 2011. I finally came back with my fiancé 15 years later to do it! Sancho was my instructor and he was awesome. He made me feel very safe and comfortable through the entire process. It was an unbelievable experience! The owner was also very nice and he was very prompt in picking us at our hotel. I would only do this with Skydive Interlaken! Please give them a go!

We visited on a bit of an overcast day but the skies cleared and offered spectacular views of Interlaken. We purchased the special ticket offering return trip on the Harder Klum Funicular and a set lunch menu at the Panorama restaurant at the top. Great value. The trip is also wheelchair accessible however you need to locate the back entrance which is further up the road from the main boarding area, on the first side entrance on the left. Well worth the visit.

Absolutely amazing! The funicular is super fun and the views at the top are insane — mountains, lakes, everything. The viewing platform is a must, and the restaurant has great vibes too. Perfect spot for sunset. Don’t miss it if you’re in Interlaken 👍

The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking — definitely one of the best panoramas in Switzerland. The ride up was smooth and easy, and once you get there, the viewing platform makes it feel like you’re floating above Interlaken. We loved taking our time at the top just soaking in the mountains, the lakes, and the fresh air. Such a peaceful and memorable place. Totally worth the trip — highly recommended!

We recently visited Harder Kulm, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Located above the beautiful town of Interlaken, this panoramic viewpoint offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, lakes, and the iconic Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. The journey to the top is an adventure in itself taking a funicular ride from Interlaken up to the summit ( there happens to be a pretty steep hike as well that can take you up there) was smooth, comfortable, and gave us our first taste of the stunning alpine scenery. Once at the top, we were greeted with a 360-degree vista that truly took our breath away. The observation platform is perfect for photos, and we spent quite a while just soaking in the views. We also had a chance to explore the area a little more, with well-maintained paths leading to even more scenic spots around the summit. One of the highlights was the viewing platform's ( also referred to as the two lakes bridge as you get to see the Thun and Brienz lakes) glass floor.Stepping out onto it felt like flying over the town of Interlaken, and it was a thrilling experience. For those who are a bit more adventurous, there also are a couple of hikes around ( one’s simple the other being a challenging strenuous hike) where you can feel completely surrounded by nature and mountains. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the warm atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing day out or an adventure in the mountains, Harder Kulm delivers both in spades. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area and it's definitely worth the visit!

Fun steep ride up to the view point. Unfortunately the weather fogged up and stares to rain. We took some quick pictures and headed back to beat the crowds on the return trip. This was included in our travel pass so we figured we'd check it out no matter the weather.

After a short funicular ride, the view from top of Harder Kulm was fantastic, even on a semi-cloudy day. I really enjoyed the visit.

Visited Harder Kulm with my wife and kid and absolutely loved it. The view from the top is breathtaking, overlooking Interlaken and the lakes. The funicular ride was smooth and scenic, and the viewpoint is perfect for family photos. A wonderful experience for all ages

Lake Thun is an absolutely stunning and romantic lake! I visited in 2019 with my family, and it was truly a memorable experience. The lake offers breathtaking views, crystal-clear water, and many beautiful picnic spots to relax and enjoy nature. It’s a perfect place for couples and families alike — you’ll surely fall in love with the peaceful vibes and scenic surroundings. One of Switzerland 🇨🇭 most charming lakes! 🌄⛵✨

Lake Thun is absolutely stunning! The serene waters and beautiful surrounding hills create a perfect atmosphere for families. Our children loved exploring the lakeside, watching the ducks, and simply enjoying the fresh air. Plenty of space to walk, relax, and soak in the views. A truly memorable spot that’s perfect for a family outing!

Perfect place to see sunset 🌅!! No words to describe this beautiful place!! There is an accomodation where you can stay and enjoy alot!!

A dreamlike corner of Switzerland: Lake Thun Switzerland is breathtaking in every way, but Lake Thun has a special kind of magic. Surrounded by mountains, charming villages, and historic castles, it’s the perfect place to disconnect, breathe in fresh air, and marvel at nature. The water has a mesmerizing turquoise color, and every spot looks like it belongs on a postcard. Whether you’re sailing, strolling along the shore, or simply sitting down to take in the view, this lake offers peace and beauty in its purest form.

Enjoyed this boat ride especially on a nice weather day. View was gorgeous.

Lake Thun has absolutely amazing scenery. We spent almost an entire day there and still couldn't get enough. Starting in the morning, we enjoyed the view from St. Beatus Cave, getting a panoramic picture of the lake from above. Then we continued our adventure by ship, circling the lake and savoring every corner. The lake has very clear water, with beautiful typical farmhouses and the Swiss Alps in the background, adding to the picturesque setting. Every corner of the lake was stunning, perfect for healing and taking a break from your busy life.

The morning view of Lake Thun from Beatenberg is simply breathtaking and worth waking up early for.

We were in the area on vacation and decided to take a train down to Thun and look around. The castle is very prominent on the skyline and looks quite interesting. We walked though the building and looked at the various displays which were well done. Centuries of history briefly summarized. The building itself is the main attraction. We went all the way to the top into the corner towers. The roof structure was amazing. Definitely recommend!

Castle Thun is a must-see when visiting the town! The displays and information are well-curated, making it easy to explore everything in just 2–3 hours. There are also interactive sections, like the wooden architecture exhibit in the attic and rooftop area, and the fascinating collection of ancient armors and weapons. The castle is well-maintained, easy to navigate, and offers a great balance of history and experience.

Worth the trip. The castle is stunning and you can see artefacts of the Old Swiss Confederacy, such as halberds, tapestries and armors. The Knight's room and the room under the roof where particularly stunning. On top of that, 4 towers flanking the roof are accessible and give you wonderful views of the city

The basic castle tour was interesting, but I was disappointed to find that there were virtually no period furnishings in any of the rooms. The audio tour aid added tremendously to the understanding of the castle history. Look closely, though, to find the signs which indicate when to use the audio aid. I recommend paying the extra fee to use it. I enjoyed the views from the tower. I paid extra for the special exhibit, which I didn't feel was worth the fee; skip it unless you are interested in forms of medieval punishment.

Definitely do the audio tour if you come here! Beautiful castle with a lot of history and amazing views from the top! No need to book tickets in advance

Thun castle does not match the vibe of other castles of Switzerland like Gruyère castle and Chillion castle. The castle is poor in terms of content and exhibits. Not much to explore inside. The staff is very friendly and there are free locker rooms available to keep your luggage. The best part was the top level of Thun castle from where you get 4 different panoramic views of Thun city and Lake Thun. If you are visiting Thun city then definitely visit this place otherwise skip it. Entry to Thun castle is free with Swiss Travel Pass.

A well presented castle museum that didn't try to overwhelm with lots of displays or info but focused on the key elements that were easy to understand and enjoy

Marvelous architecture. You can just sit inside for hours. The tower is a bit of hard climb but it is beyond worth it. The view from the top is amazing. You can see the entire city and the river. Really love it, highly recommended.

The Cathedral of Bern is truly a stunning landmark with impressive architecture and a commanding presence in the city. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the chance to go inside or climb the tower due to the opening hours — we arrived in the evening and left the next morning. It was a bit disappointing and sad, as we would have loved to explore it fully. Even from the outside, the cathedral is beautiful and worth visiting. A must-see for anyone in Bern, and definitely a reason to plan a longer visit next time!

Visited the Bern Cathedral and the climb to the top is definitely worth it. The view from up there is crazy, you can see the whole city, the river, everything. It’s one of those spots where you just stop and take it all in. At the top, there was this older gentleman working there who was honestly one of the highlights. He was super friendly and took the time to explain what we were looking at, the history, the mountains in the distance, and some really interesting details we wouldn’t have noticed on our own. Just a really good, genuine conversation. Made the experience feel personal. The cathedral itself is beautiful and detailed, but that view and the kindness up top really made it memorable.

**⛪✨ Awe-Inspiring Moments at Bern Cathedral! ✨⛪** Just stepped inside the **Bern Cathedral (Berner Münster)**—Switzerland’s tallest cathedral—and I’m utterly speechless! 😍 Soaring **100 meters high**, this Gothic masterpiece took my breath away with its intricate stone carvings, towering spire, and the **stunning stained glass windows** that bathe the nave in kaleidoscope colors. 🌈 Don’t miss the **Last Judgment sculpture** above the main portal—a jaw-dropping work of medieval art with over 200 figures! And if you’re up for a climb, the **344-step tower ascent** rewards you with sweeping views of Bern’s red rooftops, the Aare River, and the snow-capped Alps in the distance. 🏔️📸 **Pro tip**: Visit early to avoid crowds, and wear comfy shoes for the tower climb (totally worth it!). The cathedral’s peaceful interior is free to enter, but toss a few coins for the tower—it supports preservation! 💙

The main portal of Bern Minster is one of the most complete collections of Late Gothic sculpture. The tympanum depicts the Last Judgment, carved entirely by Erhard Küng, which gives the ensemble a remarkable unity of design. The wicked are shown naked on the right and the righteous clothed in white on the left, while in the center Archangel Michael holds a raised sword, overseeing the fate of souls. Flanking the doors, the left side depicts the five Foolish Virgins, the right side the Wise Virgins. The Dance of Death (Danse Macabre) stained glass window in Bern Minster was created in 1519 and depicts skeletons leading people from all walks of life—kings, clergy, peasants, and children—toward death, emphasizing the inevitability and universality of mortality. Bern Minster (Berner Münster), begun in 1421 and completed with its 100-metre tower in 1893, is the tallest church in Switzerland and a landmark of late Gothic architecture. It became Protestant in 1528 during the Reformation. The church has a three-aisled basilica plan with slender columns, high rib-vaulted ceilings, and flying buttresses supporting the nave, exemplifying the vertical emphasis and detailed craftsmanship typical of the late Gothic.

The church provided vital history about city and people. Always fascinating to see evolution of architecture over the centuries. Amazing how items like seating areas have been preserved since the late 1400’s.

Get the chance to go all the way up to see the city of Bern with a panoramic view. It costs 6chf to go up, but you will enjoy it. Just make sure to be a bit fit as it is a lot of stairs. The last entrance is at 16h30.

An amazing experience and a chance to see some brown bears in real life. Great for kids but also adults who miss their childhood. Right next to the river, the park is both scenic and entertaining.

I recently visited the Bear Park in Bern and it was such a delightful experience! Nestled along the scenic banks of the Aare River, the park offers a peaceful and natural environment where bears roam freely in spacious enclosures that mimic their natural habitat. The bears looked healthy and well cared for, and it was heartwarming to see them play, rest, and interact with their surroundings. The park is free to enter, which makes it a wonderful stop for families, nature lovers, or anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing moment in the city. It’s also just a short walk from the old town, so it’s easy to include in a day of sightseeing. Overall, Bear Park is a beautiful blend of nature, education, and conservation. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bern!

It’s quite astonishing to see a bear park right in the middle of the city — a truly unique setting. The enclosure is spacious, well-designed, and blends beautifully with the natural surroundings along the river. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into making it as comfortable as possible for the bears. Still, it’s a reminder that the animals are in captivity, which can feel a bit bittersweet despite the excellent care they receive.

The views are quite beautiful, and the bears are adorable, but I feel terrible they don't have more space to roam around in. They did build a little section in the river so when it is hot, the bears can at least cool down and fish :)

Love that they have a bear refuge near the city. They have so much room to roam. I would suggest adding more signs not to feed the bears or be fined. I saw some stupid kid form a different country throw something down in the bear area and the parents didn’t do anything.

Fantastic river walk along the Aare ends up at Bear Park. Complete with Bears! Stop off to spend some CHF for beers and food up top for great views.

Very nice attraction in the center of the town with a rare chance to see from close range real bears 🐻 very well designed for the wellbeing of the wild animals including also a swimming pool. Definitely a Must visit in the area

Old Town Bern is picturesque both in the day and night. Can take Bus 12 from main square to Bear Park and return. If you stay in hotel, can get activation code for free bus ride in Bernapp. Else, can park at Casino car park but it's expensive.

Visiting the Zytglogge was a highlight of my trip to Bern. This 13th-century clock tower is not just a beautiful landmark, it’s a piece of living history. I arrived a few minutes before the hour and was amazed by the mechanical figures and the precise chime—it feels like stepping back in time. The surrounding Old Town streets are charming, full of cafés and little shops, making it a perfect spot to explore after watching the show. Whether you love history, architecture, or just a great photo opportunity, the Zytglogge is a must-see in Bern.

Walking through Bern’s Old Town, I stumbled upon Bim Zytglogge and was instantly charmed. The area around the clock tower feels like a slice of history—cobblestone streets, medieval buildings, and the hourly show of mechanical figures on the astronomical clock. It’s a lively spot, with locals and tourists mingling, and plenty of cafés and shops nearby.

Such a nice Watch tower. Very interesting and of course, full of historical events to tell from it and its city, Bern. Really a great stop-by spot, a must when you'd like to see the spectacle of the watch with its figures moving at 6pm.

Its a big old clock. There is some entertaining bits on the west side every hour but dont expect anything dramatic like a giant cuckoo clock. Pretty cool though for an 800 year old piece of work.

Each corner of this town will make you feel to walking back in time. Such a beautiful place. You can visit the clock tower from inside for 10 chf

Zytglogge (Clock Tower) was built in 1220 as part of Bern’s western gate, becoming a civic clock tower after the city expanded. The astronomical clock was added in 1530 with moving figures such as bears, a jester, and Chronos, which perform each hour.

If you love historic buildings, Bern’s Old City is a must-see. The medieval architecture is stunning, and the streets are beautifully clean and well-organized. Shops are thoughtfully placed, so you can enjoy the views while exploring. A truly charming and unforgettable experience!

In my opinion, Bern's old town is one of the most beautiful and compact in the world. Its specialty is the arcades formed by the old buildings lining the streets. The arcades are lined with shops, restaurants, bars, art galleries, etc. It is worth walking around the old town, also along the banks of the Aare River, and climbing to the Rosengarten to admire the magnificent view of the old town. Every time I visit Bern I feel amazed.

LOVE this pretty place! So historic and colorful, tons of lovely photo spots! Love the iconic fountain and huge clock tower, as well as all the cute trains and buses that came in different shapes and sizes 🚂🚌🇨🇭❤️. Was glad I dropped by Bern - after all it’s the capital of Switzerland, and a must drop by imo, even if it’s for a short day trip! 😆 I was really happy to be here 🥰👍.

I was recenly in Bern: what a wonderful place...!!! Right size and location, and enjoyed the sun and the rain while sketching! I"ll certainly be back!!! PS, A novel to recommend placed in Bern: Damnation, by Peyer Beck

A beautiful town, probably the nicest in Switzerland. In the morning it is less crowded and the streets are well conserved. The prices are really high, which makes the costs hardly affordable for foreigners

You are unwinding the clock back 500 years ago to experience the lifestyle in medieval time. The old street (made of sandstones), clock tower, cathedral surrounded by garden and river are breathtaking.

Beautiful and quaint little old town in the capital of Switzerland! I got there early so the streets were rather empty and it was nice taking a slow stroll down this street. The street was lined with familiar brands/shops, the trams ran down both sides and I almost felt like I was transported back to medieval times - except the modern shops bring me back to the present. If you walk further down, you’ll end up at the Bear Pit, another little tourist attraction of Bern.

Very nice park at the top of Bern city, offering a place to rest and fantastic view. The restaurant is ideal to take a break from a walking tour, having all the city in "the plate". Very nice place for panoramic photos of the city and the river. A must visit

We were not able to have a table by the side, with the amazing view as we had not made a reservation. We came here on a whim. We were given 2 other seating options, 1 which we were warned we would be hit by the sun soon and the other on the other side near the kids playground on the high chair stools and table. The waitress who served us was super busy, there was a large party of 10 or so and lots of other small tables she was serving. She did her best to keep everyone happy. There was a bit of a wait time to order. Once the food came, it tasted good. However due to being summer, wasps started to appear and take over. The toilets are inside, downstairs, they were clean. Upon exiting the building we saw a huge amount of salad plates ready to go just sat on the side. Overall, it was good.

Nice restaurant with a beautiful view of the city. In a hot summer day you will not be able to dine inside because it’s extremely hot and there isn’t AC. We dined at the patio and unfortunately were invaded by dozens of flies as soon as our food was received. We prompted to move everything inside. Service is mediocre.

I loved it. They place is very nice and clean, with outstanding views. Service is great and fast. I took the chicken sandwich for a quick lunch and it was very good.

Great place and truly scenery. Quality service and quality food. Thanks to the Chef and team. I’ll repeat the visit whenever back to Bern. If you choose to come from the down town of Bern; be prepared to pull enough energy to walk up thru the hill, which is a nice little warm up and workout before arriving to the restaurant. Also, it’ll be great to spot coupe or bears from the bridge while heading to the restaurant.

A must stop for a lunch or coffee with view over Bern, amazing. The food was good too, especially the middle eastern mixed platter

Great food, went there for the fondue but turned out fondue only runs trough the winter and spring which we didn’t know. But all was good and amazing view over the city The photo is from winter which we had a coffee and chocolate warm milk, nice

We decided to drive here on our way from Switzerland up to France, did not realize that we had to go over a mountain and back down to get there, but it was worth it. It really is in the middle of nowhere. They have lots of neat animals here, the Lynx was my favorite. My daughter and I had a really nice time walking around and seeing all the animals.

This Zoo has special vibe and give different experience while compare to Basel & Zurich Zoos. This is not bigger, but you can definitely spot or picture the animals without any disappointment very closer to you, especially White tigers, Bengal tigers & Lion. Nice place to spend your time with family and kids. Highly recommend to visit this Zoo during summer season, as some animals are not come outside in winter time.

Great, never been that close to a lion. Siky are doing a great job for the animals, they have plenty of space. We enjoyed are visit, our daughter had a lovely time looking at the animals, and she could actually see the animals. She enjoyed the playground and Siky express, the little train. Some 5 hours well spent time. My wife kept saying I love this zoo. Strongly recommend a visit. And we will go back thats for sure.

Love this place and mission ❤️ my kids was very happy to see tiger and lion. We've been there on 5.12, got present from Santa, drink warm wine and great soup! I'll back here in next few months

Definitely worth a visit! it’s very exciting place for kids with wide variety of animals including bengal tigers and lions. You are allowed to feed deers and lamas from the food sold at ticket counter. Recommended to visit on a sunny day.

One of the best zoos

Middle of nowhere but worth the trip. Nicely maintained. Animals are pretty near which makes it awesome.

A captivating castle, or rather, a charming ruin, providing a picturesque setting to appreciate nature and the night sky. Occasional events, including fires on special occasions like New Year's Eve and some weekends featuring alcohol and food, add to the allure. The castle boasts a cozy atmosphere and surprisingly low light pollution, creating an ideal environment for star gazing.

Beautiful views from the top of the old castle ruins, and informative boards guide you through the structure. A nice way to spend 1-2 hours on a little hike. Not suitable for people less able to walk or baby buggies.

Nice castle ruins with a good view over the valley.

It's a nice, short hike up to the castle ruins. Great place for a picnic on a sunny day, very scenic.

Fantastic excursion goal. Calm, beutyful, harmonic...

This is a lovely place to visit. The ruins of the castle offer fantastic views across the whole Sundgau region, onto the Jura, Vosges, and Schwarzwald beyond. Ferrette is a nice little town with a few nice restaurants and Saturday market. Well worth the visit.

Very nice for walking(slight climb) with or without your pets. Very nice view of the surroundings once on top. Beautiful ruins from the castle.

The wooden covered bridge in Bad Säckingen is truly impressive and full of history. Crossing it feels like walking into another time, with the Rhine flowing below and beautiful views all around. It’s amazing that such a long wooden bridge still connects Germany and Switzerland today. A must-see landmark!

interesting, beautiful, great history,simply cool bridge across rhine river. 440 years old...

Extraordinary structure and well worth a visit

Well maintained bridge from 1888. One of couple Rhein borders between CH and DE. Nice place to chill out - there is a bench to sit and relax.

Favourite crossing into Germany. The other end immediately opens to the city square. There is even a marking of the border midway (white line).

Nice bridge! With nice views.

Historical bridge, with a great view. 800 years old, connecting Germany and Switzerland over the Rhein.

This zoo os great with kids. The surounding are made with so many details in mind, everything is green when you walk around. My kids and I loved it. There is great food stations too, amany animals. Especially the aquarium part is super big and nice too. The only downside, its in the middle of the city of Basel, a little hard to get too.

Love love this place- I went pretty late (4-6pm). Although I skipped the crowds, some of the animals were already in their enclosures (not in exhibit), but it didn’t detract from my joy of being there. Loved the vivarium, farm animals, snow leopard, flamingos, meerkats, and penguins. I would have loved to be able to see the new hippo baby though :(.

Zoo was good for a city zoo. I don't want to spoil it so only posted a miniscule amount of photos. I loved going into the bird house. It had some levels to it so find the elevator or stairs. Spent from just after 9am until 4pm.

It is very convenient. With stroller we could go through the whole Zoo. We were lucky we could see all the animals. They have huge space in the restaurant & also banks everywhere to sit.

A very nice zoo – not too big, not too small. There’s a great variety of animals, and even on rainy days you can enjoy several indoor areas. We always love coming here!

It's a very strange and beautiful place. They let the penguins walk freely in the zoo. However, the path was very clean. The staff there were very kind. Everything was good. I was there for 6 hours and I didn't want to leave at all. It was very enjoyable to be with the animals. I wish they were free in the wild, but the animals are having fun there too. The animals are definitely happy there. I recommend you to go there to enjoy being with nature.

What a lovely zoo- lots to see with a variety of animals. I particularly liked the giraffe enclosure. There was also a lovely coffee shop and gift shop near the entrance.

Wow! We wish we had had more time to see all the amazing art! Quiet and clean. Lockers for backpacks- easy to use. Put this on your to do list when you are in Basel. Give yourself 3 hours at least.

This museum is truly the treasure of Switzerland, imagine MoMA & The Met combined in one address. As an active art lover and collector, I have not spent too much time in this museum before unfortunately, as I had only been there for events during Art Basel week. Finally I had the chance to come back to Basel and dedicate some time for a thorough visit and viewing last week, and it was for nearly 6 hours, and every moment was well spent. The museums have two buildings connected by an underground tunnel, with vast permanent collections from Renaissance & Early Modern (15th-16th c.) with strong holdings from the Upper Rhine: Hans Holbein the Younger, the Amerbach Cabinet origins; 17th-18th Centuries, Flemish and Dutch masters (like Rubens, Rembrandt); 19th Century of Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Symbolism. Simply impressive collections from Monet, Cézanne, Manet, Van Gogh. Swiss artists too, such as Ferdinand Hodler. Then the 20th Century including major movement coverage: Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Constructivism with Important works from artists: Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Marc Chagall, Piet Mondrian etc. The collections from this era at this museum impressed me the most this time! The Post Modern / contemporary collections are also worthy investigating, from Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Helen Frankenthaler, Miriam Cahn, Dan Flavin, Kara Walker, Bruce Nauman, Calder and more. There are plenty of rooms to wonder with comfortable sofas in and out the exhibition halls, so you could really take time to experience the art, and it is never too crowded with too many phone cameras or noises around. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, very refreshing especially compared with other major museums around the world. Highly recommend it for art enthusiasts, families and it is a must visit when in Basel.

wonderful museum in the heart of Basel city. The two buildings offer a wider variety of historic and contemporary art. Well curated . Definitely a must go for a Basel visit.

The entry price is quite high, but if you’re into modern and contemporary art, there’s plenty to explore. The collection includes works by Picasso,Van Gogh, Kandinsky, and Holbein, among other major names. The architecture itself is impressive. clean, modern, and beautifully designed. Worth visiting if you enjoy art museums.

The paintings were good but to be honest they were not great! It felt mediaeval and repeated with the paintings and the work structures. The museum has an old museum and the new and of the two, I think the new section is good. Because of the reviews and recommendations on Google, one gets eager and also excited to visit this museum but for me it was just an ordinary museum with no great paintings on display. However the most humane and exceptional part of the museum visit are the people who manage the ticket counters and offices. They are kind, gracious and always always ready to help and assist. I would remember the visit to the most gracious lady sitting at the ticket counter, who asked me to check for the Basel card and advised me to call the hotel for the digital copy to save me some money. Also at the same time a couple offering me to share their card with me, even asking me if they can pay half the amount for me. That was generous of them, I assured them that money is not the issue but the kind lady just wanted to save my money. I got the card through my mail in about 15 minutes and more than me the lady at the counter was happy. That's the beauty of Basel and its people! I took the tour and was happy to not miss it because it was more than a tour for me. The building is amazingly attractive and thoughtfully built. The surrounding area is just like another place within the old World charm of that area, just a few minutes away from the munster!

This was the most humiliating and hostile museum experience I have ever had. An employee wrongly accused me of taking a photo, which I was not, then followed me upstairs. He walked back and forth with another staff member, laughing and staring at me. Later, he deliberately waited for me, locked eyes, and stood there until I spoke. When I asked why he was staring, we had a full conversation where he mocked me, laughed at me, and bullied me instead of acting professionally. It felt like he wanted to provoke me into a confrontation. I am a quiet, respectful visitor, and it felt like he singled me out as an easy person to intimidate. Instead of enjoying the art, I was harassed until I left the museum in tears. For such an expensive ticket, this treatment is completely unacceptable. A museum should be a place of inspiration and safety, not surveillance, intimidation, and humiliation. I strongly recommend avoiding this museum if you expect basic respect as a visitor.

It's nice. Not outstanding. The collection is a bit of a random mix and it's curated in a strange way. Not that much art really, but I did like the medieval art they had.

Brilliant and ecological

2 Francs well spent such a lovely way to cross the river

It takes only a couple of minutes to get from one shore to the other but it's great fun. Also, the ticket for this unique vehicle is surprisingly cheap.

Very nice ferry boat over the Rhein. Very friendly and helpful ferry boat man. Loved it.

Contemporary crossing of river Rhein, on a traditional ferry. 😍

great experience! recommended to anyone visiting Basel especially with kids

Fun cheese fondue on the Rhine ferry

Definitely worth the visit, the building is beautifully crafted. If you walk behind the building you will have an excellent view overlooking the River. Lots of people were having picnics and relaxing here.

Solo travelers are not allowed to climb the towers, for suicide prevention reasons. You can find another tourist and ask to accompany them, but without the employee seeing this. Don't let them know you are strangers. There's a small fee to climb the towers and it's well worth it. Basel Minster was built between the 11th and 16th centuries in a blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles. After the 1356 earthquake, it was significantly rebuilt incorporating Gothic elements such as pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and large stained-glass windows. The cathedral is made of red sandstone and is notable for its two main towers, St. George’s and St. Martin’s, and its patterned tile roof. The Minster served as the Catholic cathedral until the Reformation in 1529, after which it became a Reformed Protestant church. The Gallus Gate at Basel Minster is the oldest Romanesque figure portal in the German-speaking world, built around 1185. In the tympanum is Christ as Judge of the World, accompanied by Peter and a donor figure, while the lintel below shows the Parable of the Ten Virgins. During the Reformation in Basel (1529), iconoclasm took place at Basel Minster as part of the city’s shift from Catholicism to Protestantism. Religious images, statues, and altars that were seen as idolatrous were removed or destroyed. The interior today remains relatively bare compared to its original medieval design.

It was originally built in the 1000’s as a Roman Catholic Cathedral and became a Protestant church. There’s no fee to get in the church but there’s a fee to go up the top. Behind the church is the Rhine River.

Don’t miss the chance to reach the top of the church. While climbing, it might seem like you’ve reached the end, but be sure to check—there’s a good chance there’s a way to go even higher."

Had a free walk around then spotted people paying to go up the towers. We tried this for a small charge and it's well worth the steep steps to go to the 3 levels available. Bit tight at times depending on how many people go up but numbers are controlled.

A very beautiful and nice cathedral! You can have an amazing view over Basel from the top!

Basel Minster is absolutely worth a visit! I’ve climbed several church towers across Switzerland, but this one had the narrowest spire staircase I’ve ever squeezed through! It’s a bit of a tight spiral toward the top, but that only adds to the adventure. Once you reach the viewing platform, you’re rewarded with panoramic views of Basel, the Rhine, and even into France and Germany on a clear day. The cathedral itself is beautifully maintained, with intricate stonework and a peaceful courtyard. It’s a perfect mix of charm, challenge, and postcard-worthy scenery. Don’t miss it!

Impressive red building.... incredible architecture. The atrium with its stunning murals and the imposing statue is very interesting. It is located in the center of the city and certainly stands out because of its color.... free entry to the atrium is allowed!

The Rathaus (town hall)—very impressive red building with rich decorations inside. Seems like you need a tour to fully explore it though.

Basel Town Hall stands as an impressive cultural keepsake of the city. It is highly recommended to check out if you are close by, it also serves as a basis for the centre of the city and often has many pop-up shops close by and restaurants as well. There is a lot of history here if you’re wanting to know more about the city.

Basel city center can be explored in one day. Very atmospheric and the old city beautiful cathedral and red town hall! At Christmas festive atmosphere. very crowded and fun

Very beautiful symbol of Basel, don't forget to enter the yard, it's amazing too!

Brightly coloured bright red bricks with lots of character inside.

A very special municipal building surrounded by lots of clothing and food shops, a very picturesque and crowded area

Impressive structure with biggest cupola north of the Alps 🅿️ there is also handicapped parking very close to the church (left side) - plus there is a wheelchair accessible side entrance also on the left side

A world Wonder in white marble worth to visit even when detouring for an hour! A MustSee in the Black Forest, ohne of the largest domed buildings in Europe and purely beautiful!

quite stunning building in a small town, absolutely unexpected. Great example of past German splendor in its neoclassical style. Absolutely worth a visit. Makes you feel small and humble 😂

Came for the huge earth artwork Gaia, the huge Dome size is solemn to present this artwork with the hymn play. Let us rethink the humankind as one of a tiniest creation.

We drove by St. Blasien by chance and then saw this huge cathedral in the middle of the Black Forest. We decided to stop and visit. And wow, what a beautiful cathedral it is! Not the typical gold-covered altars as one would expect but beautiful white marble (?) stones. Definitely one of the most beautiful cathedrals I've ever seen!

Great surprise in the black forest, the cathedral is impressive from outside and even more impressive from inside. The inside is very bright and majestic with the marble ground and the white columns. We were lucky to be there when a chorus was singing the echo make it very beautiful.

Very ornate church with a huge dome. Mass was ending when we visited and there was a lovely calm peaceful atmosphere around the building.

Nice Zoo with happy and clean animals. Unfortunately, this time half of the park was on reconstruction and some other animals were hiding. Another thing I didn't get is why there is some garbage in the polar bear's pool?

It took me 4 hours to see everything. However, I was there mid september, so a lot of the flowers died off. So, it would have taken me longer, had I arrived in spring or summer. Well worth the entrance fee.

Due to the weather being gloomy and cold, we couldn't see a lot of the animals. Because of construction and cleaning, only the toilet at the entrance was available, which was such a hassle as we didn't know about it. My favourite part of the visit was the Petits Amazon and seeing the cutest little beings.

The Zoo is in the process of reconstructing the African section, so some areas are not accessible, but it's still a MUST see in Mulhouse. It houses several animals in extreme danger of extinction, and performs solid scientific studies and helps in their preservation. Among the rarest the Panthera Nebulosa and the Amur Leopard are magnificent examples. The Sea Lions, the Red Panda, the meerkats, the Polar bears.... Indeed a small and very interesting Zoo.

Amazing zoo and botanical garden, not big, but some rare animals, and nice pace, good for walks, I would love come again

Hi, We visited on Sunday, so it wasn't crowded. But it was raining, so most of the animals were hiding. Apart from that it was Nice. 1) Buy your before coming to avoid queuing. 2)Most sure the weather is great to be able to see all the animals. 3)To avoid people go on Sunday. Bonus point: the parking is free.

A wonderful experience! The park is beautifully maintained, with a great mix of fascinating animals and lush botanical gardens. It’s perfect for families, nature lovers, or anyone looking for a relaxing and educational day out. The enclosures are spacious and thoughtfully designed, and you can really see the care for conservation. Ticket prices were reduced due to some renovation works, which was a nice bonus. Highly recommend a visit!

If you are a train fan, reserve 3-4 hours of your time to see everything. For everyone else: at least 2 hours to just walk the whole thing. Fantastic collection, large and diverse. Great for all ages; there are educational sections, too, to learn how trains work. Entrance was 16 EUR, which, in my opinion, is absolutely reasonable for the content you are getting. There is a local restaurant on site where you can eat for 15-20 EUR per adult, drinks included. Very easy access by public transport: 20-minute tram ride + 450-meter walk.

One of the most amazing museums I’ve ever visited! 3 hours went by without noticing and both us parents as well as our 5 year old kid had loads of fun! Totally recommend this place!

Great train museum showcasing the history of trains and French public transport. The collection is huge and very well maintained.

If you like trains and history it's really worth it. I think you can spend 2.5-3 hrs easily with a normal speed of going around and see everything.

Nice railway museum with lots of examples of former trains (including various record-breaking locomotives and TGV trains!). There’s a gift shop and restaurant. Staff were really friendly and helpful.

Visiting this museum truly felt like an authentic journey back in time. The sheer variety of the trains on display was incredibly impressive; I honestly never imagined that locomotives and passenger cars could be so stunningly beautiful. I was especially fascinated to learn about the most luxurious 'apartment trains,' which were essentially rolling homes complete with sleeping rooms, dining cars, showers, and even private cabinets. It was a genuine surprise to see how many domestic comforts were available on the rails, historically and perhaps even today. What truly sets this museum apart is its immersive organization. It’s not just a static collection of old trains, but a thoughtful presentation of a specific historical era. The museum does an excellent job of creating the atmosphere of the past by installing various figures to simulate scenes of travel and daily life. While I would agree that the figures themselves weren't always aesthetically perfect, the recreated scenes and detailed environments successfully brought the history to life, offering a powerful sense of context and time.

As descripted, one of biggest railway museum. Collection mapping mainly french rail history, wich is luckily also world history. Interesantly and complexive. I mean here is possibly everything (about french history in any case) , exept Andre Chapelon´s SNCF 240P class (some other is). For me is it Must see!

If you’re a fan of classic cars, this museum is a mustsee. The collection is vast and seems endless, with many beautifully preserved vintage models. During my visit, there was also a special Tintin exhibition, which made it even more enjoyable.

This was a quick day trip for us while staying in Basel. Amazing collection of automotive history and well worth spending a few hours to explore. The collection of cars from the Tintin books was very cool, particularly if you're a Tintin fan like me!

DEFINITELY A MUST if you're in Mulhouse area, east France. The fact that Musée National de l'Automobile has an collection of more than 400+ cars ranging from more than 100 years ago, is amazing itself. Not to mention they have probably the world most complete collection of Bugatti, like almost a hundred of them. And one of them in the Masterpiece area, the 1936 50T Cabriolet, is now the world most expensive vehicle, worth 100M Euro !!! The details of it, and the idea of building a luxury car back to almost 100 years ago, is really highly admired.

One of the best car museums i’ve ever been. It’s really worth every penny you’re paying for it. Tons of great, rare and unique pieces you will find there. Nice location, brilliant realisation. All cars are in good condition, and like in any other real museum, you can smell oil, gasoline and old leather from them. If you have kids or you just unbelievably love cars, you’ll be happy there

Millions of dollars worth of cars, and they couldn’t get a decent translator for the placards? Honestly it became kind of amusing just how bad the English translations were after a while. The cars are stunning, there is no denying that. Arguably the most complete collection of vintage Bugattis in the world (but surprisingly no modern ones - no Chiron, EB110, not even a Veyron? Maybe they’re locked away somewhere else) 1/4 of the cars in the main hall were covered in white drapes due to construction. To the contractors/ museum officials, I say to you: “ plastic sheeting comes in transparent forms”. Overall a vanity project of a (now dead) rich white guy but there’s some stellar automotive and racing history laid out in these rooms. You’re in Mulhouse, you’re likely gonna go.

Quite possibly one of the greatest car collections in the world. The outside is Beautifully presented... Upon entering the building you have no idea of how overwhelming this place can be. As you begin walking around and seeing a few cars you get lulled into it being a normal museum.... But then you walk into the room with a few Bugattis... You keep walking and seeing more Bugattis... Then you realise, one whole side is just Bugattis 🤯 Then you see the Bugatti Royale.. and realise hold on the have two Bugatti Royales 🤯 .. This place is crazy the sheer number of Bugattis and special cars is crazy... Then the story of the Schlumpf brothers ... Simply put, if you are a car lover you must come here... It's epic.. The shock value never diminishes even after multiple trips

One of the best car collections I have seen. From old to new and some extremely rare peices. We spent about 3 hours in here. There were lots of other things inside to keep children entertained too. There was a section all about Tintin which showed the different books and the cars linked to it which was nice. There was a driving simulator, small ride on cars and a vr F1 experience.

As a foreigner visiting this place, it was a bit confusing, navigating the labyrinth of pools, hallways, locker rooms, and entrances that required a key fob. That said, this place has a lot of history and is a popular attraction for this small town. It’s a bit pricey unless you plan on spending the whole day.

It was very relaxing. We'll organized too. I enjoyed it. It would be nice if there was a sauna and steamroom that all could use. There was a sauna, at extra cost, but you had to go naked. Not really very british 🤔

Really nice spa! I enjoyed the sauna area especially because there is a warm pool and clothing not required :)beautiful large thermal pool that connects to the outside with a whirlpool was also amazing! Highly reccomend for a day visit

The Cassiopeia Therme in Badenweiler is such a beautiful and relaxing place. We went in the evening, and it was truly magical once it got dark outside - the calm atmosphere, the warm lights, and the peaceful pools made it an unforgettable experience. Everything felt quiet, clean, and perfectly maintained. The combination of indoor and outdoor areas is great, and soaking in the warm water while it’s dark outside is incredibly soothing. A perfect spot to unwind and recharge - we’ll definitely come back next time we’re in Badenweiler!

Very nice place with good prices. The best pools are outdoor, with a beautiful view into old garden. Big choice. Located near romanian ruines, worth to go for a walk before or after the bath.

What a nice Therme/Spa destination, with excellent facilities. Indoor and outdoor pools are all comfortable and warm at around 26.5 degree or more depending on which bath you go. A wonderful Roman bath area, great sauna land with separate pool. Restaurant menu with many options to choose from. Good value. In case you have parked your car at the city carpark nearby you will get 2 hours for free.

To celebrate being in the top 20% of sauna reviewers I went to check out this mountain Therme. The atmospheric grounds look out on to the old ruins of the castle on one side and the old Roman ruins of a bathhouse on the other. If you go with an open mind the Roman bathing suite is really excellent and allows you to imagine yourself as a Roman going through the recommended stages of bathing. There is an opportunity for a soap massage which unusual enough to make it notable. The sauna suite is large, with Aufguss. The stand out is the outside pool which is big enough to have a nice swim and enjoy the edge of the black forest. Don't believe the negative reviews: Cassiopeia is a hidden gem of a Therme.

WELL PRESERVED ROMAN RUIN. Entry fee 3€ (2023) which is more than acceptable. You can visit the roman baths through a overlooking bridge covered with a glass roof, which is the best way to experience such a old place without contaminating it.

Very well preserved remains of ancient romain bathhouse. Well organized exhibition with art statues built in the historical ruins. Interesting Film about the bathing traditions in Roman time. Nice park around- especially in spring.

Well preserved and presented Roman baths. Once you've read all the explications in German, there are plenty of nearby terraces to cool down from that effort.

Well presented and preserved. There’s a movie in several languages that is informative. Roman ruins in Germany! How cool is that… Ideally, so we could understand better, they would make a functioning Roman baths replica à la Westworld…

Very nice preserved Roman bath house under a huge glass roof in a beautiful park, where we saw a very rarely seen red squirrel,

Excellently preserved roman bath ruins. Cost of entry was €2,50 per person with Gästekarte, which I think is very reasonable. Good information (all in German though).

The only downside logistically was looking for parking. The ruins themselves were cool and nicely maintained, though more signage/labels would have been nice

great experience as a soloista..i really enjoyed the view,every part of it.worth the long walk because i just walk to get here,no plans at all.on top is a real great view of deutschland and even nearby countries...

Very nice preserved old ruin that you can walk up to fairly easily if you have average mobility. Good views on clear days. You can also choose to go up the sloping ramp or up the steps. We went up one way then down the other. After all this excercise you can treat yourself to a well earned coffee and cake.

Incredibly beautiful. Great view from the top. The town is awesome so if your in this area you must see it.

Very nice place to visit over the weekend together with the Roman baths. Beautiful place to walk around in nature, enjoy the thermal baths and to eat traditional food.

FREE ENTRY. Well maintained castle ruins. You can go to the lookout point to have a view of the town. Would recommend doing the castle ruins with the roman ruins nearby.

Nice area for hiking. Beautiful view from the top of the hill

It's a bit hard to find. Enter the park/garden and just keep going up. It's not visible from the road. When you get there, the views are amazing!

Great museum. Arrive promptly at opening as it requires a full day to see everything on offer. A few exhibits could use better lighting. Staff very helpful. Not only ordered a taxi but came out with me to make sure I got it. A designated taxi pickup area would be helpful. Lunch at the hotel restaurant very good with friendly staff. White storks everywhere!

Great museum to travel back in time and learn a lot of things. There is a small town of houses, stables, towers, shops, bridges, gates, etc, that are open and nicely enriched with multiple related items, each presenting different but interesting info from an era long gone. There are multiple activities to follow like domestic animals feeding, grape juice production and tasting, stable visit, wine tasting, hand crafts etc. There are restaurants and hotel options as well inside this old town. The parking just outside is free of charge, abundant and shaded. You need to visit the earliest possible because the place is quite big to explore and includes a lot of activities to follow and it is very interesting place for both kids and adults. So, you need plenty of time to see even half of what is offered within one day unless you start very early.

Very nice experience within the museum.It was Walpurgia's Day and were different interesting events there. And also..inside the museum you can learn how to make the alsacian bow that women used to wear in the ~1900

This is a great place to visit if you find yourself in the area. Not expensive and you can walk around at your own pace to see how they used to live in simpler times. It's a 'living museum' so there are people dressed in appropriate costume going about their trades. You can see a working forge, carpenters, and old school with teachers etc. The buildings ar from different time periods and have been dismantled and painstakingly reassembled on site. Really authentic and fascinating to see how housing progressed. I would highly recommend a visit. All outdoors so take a coat!

A wonderful place to visit. I would go off season as this is not a place you want to visit with crowds of people. The houses are small and do not accommodate many people at a time. We spent about 2.5 hours on our visit. Free parking. Lots of walking. Note, we visited in October and the restaurants were closed.

Interesting place to visit seeing old buildings of the area. My ancestry on my Dad's side is from Alsace so I had to see this musee, glad I stopped. Don't miss going to the Tavern on site. Good food and good service!

Súper cute place with animals and a vegetable garden! It’s a great place to go with children, and you can bring your dog too! Everyone working there was really nice, the place is very clean and very well taken care of, parking is no problem and you have a picnic area to have your lunch in nature. Highly recommend it!

It’s a nice little park, suitable for smaller kids. Half of the attractions though are open only at certain time of the day which happens to be the same for all (13:00 or 14:00h) and even if you’re there on time you still may not get a spot. I’d also advise you to bring your own food and water as the service in the restaurants is dreadfully slow. I’ve never seen angry like this in my life and I’ve visited a lot of theme parks. Also- the coffee is really bad.

Absolutely brilliant for smaller kids 18-6/7. My 2.5 year old (96 cm talk) lived it. Usually the offer is for older kids but here we can really enjoy with smaller kids too. Well regulated and controlled for the size and security for kids overall. Walkable and oversee able. Also great that they allow to bring in your own water and snacks for the kid, as usually the snacks for kids at parks are terrible ( pint for improvement … how about a healthy bar for kids). The only thing I would wish for is for more supervision at the jumping castle for the ‘small ones’. That was quite the trauma experience for my daughter. You should have supervision HERE as you have in other spaces. Bigger kids entered, too many kids at ones…. If you fix that I would give you many more stars.

Great amusement park for kids under 10! It's big enough to keep them entertained for a day, small enough not to overwhelm them either. I'd say the same for the attractions. My kids are 4 and 6, and they got to do all the attractions (and adult has to sit by each children under 130cm) without being scared! The only downside is the food.. expensive for the quantity and quality (pack your own!)

An amazing parc for families. Everything was excellent; attractions, food, safety and organisation.

We really like this park. I was made to children, but we still like it.

Visited this nice and small but amazing park just a few days ago on 24th July 2024. Really liked ALL the rides that were there, and even the old plane (which was an Antonov 2 from Russia I believe) that was on display next to the log water ride. The park was a little bit busy and cleaniness was a little lacking. You know what, I may come back here one day! 5/5 rating.

We went on a Monday in October and the whole park was just for us. No queues.

Beautiful place! Schlossberg tower is 35mt high and you can join the view of the city from there. Of course to get to the tower, a walk in the forest is recommended.

Best place to see sunset in Freiburg. Would recommend to go there during sunset time. Also you will get good view of city from top and all along the way.

Good view Nice hike

If you enjoy hiking, discovering old cities, walking in forests, cultural visits to old castles, this place is absolutely right for you. A must visit for adventurers who come to Freiburg. There are two ways to go up the mountain; the long paved and slightly inclined road which of course is longer, and the other steep, spiral short way to the peak. I took the shorter one upward and the longer on my way down to enjoy the beauty of both. Up at the highest point you find a historical compass map for the directions and cities inside Germany. On your way up, you’ll pass by 2 telescopes through which you can view any direction you want really close. To use them you’ll need 50 cents or 1 euro coins. There is a nice restaurant with breath taking view where you can enjoy your meal right on the mountain of Schlossberg. Suitable for families, couples, friends and children but with care and caution. Take a lot of photos there and enjoy the nature!

You will be amazed by the panorama view of the city. It takes around half an hour walk to get to the very top. Some paths are steep but it is worth

Good hike with a great with atop the city

A small hike with elevation varying on the route you choose ranging between inclination 1 to 6

This striking historic building captures attention with its vibrant red façade, intricate gold detailing, and elegant bay windows. The steep, tiled roof and ornate statues add to its grandeur, while the arched entrances create a sense of openness and welcome. The overall design beautifully blends Gothic and Renaissance elements, offering a strong sense of character and historical richness. Easily the most visually striking building in the Münsterplatz.

Part of Freiburg’s medieval past, red Gothic building with elaborate facade and ornate details is contrasting with strict Cathedral located just across the street.

An old and imposing building, very nicely restored. It attracts attention with its red-brick colored facade decorated with statues. You cannot fail to notice it, because it is located right next to the cathedral.

Very impressive building with a distinct red color- The building was completed in 1532.

Beautiful historical building.

The Historisches Kaufhaus (Historic Merchants’ Hall) is a Renaissance-era building on Freiburg’s Münsterplatz. Completed in 1530, it served as the city’s administrative and commercial hub, housing customs offices, trade rooms, and storage for goods. The building’s striking deep red façade and richly decorated oriel windows reflect the wealth and civic pride of Freiburg during the height of its trade with the Upper Rhine and Alpine regions. The façade is adorned with coats of arms, decorative sculpture, and four statues of Habsburg emperors—Maximilian I, Charles V, Ferdinand I, and Rudolph II—added in the late 16th century, emphasizing the city's loyalty to the empire.

It catches your eye with its red exterior and magnificent architecture in the square. There was an antique object and book seller in front of the building.

Amazing coffee here! One of the best specialty coffee I’ve had in Germany. The flat white was smooth and balanced, and the cascara soda was such a refreshing surprise on a sunny day. What a gem. The café is super cozy with a relaxed vibe. There’s plenty of working space and lots of plugs, so it’s great for working or studying. The staff are welcoming and make the place feel inviting. Definitely worth visiting, both for the coffee and the atmosphere.

We went there for breakfast in Sunday, and we didn't get disappointed. Everything was perfect and the food was delicious. Everyone there were super friendly, and they serve excellent coffee 👌🏻

It is always good when the person serving you recommends the best coffee blend for a flat white. Exceptionally friendly service and the flat white was excellent (as was the cake)

What an amazing gem hidden in Freiburg. If slow and authentic is how you like your coffee than you have a great place to visit. Extra plus for the kind owner I had a chat with. Just go and visit it already!

After searching and searching for a decent specialty coffee place in Freiburg, we finally found a good one. Baechle Baristas are pretty knowledgeable, espresso-based drinks have a good balance of bold/fruity/acidity taste, and space quite intimate. Weekend brunch is highly recommended and a must try are the tomatoe brioche and shakshouka, super tasty and beautiful dishes. Coffee presentation is pretty plain (see pic) in a mug, it can be pimped by including a small wooden coaster and spoon on the side for better presentation. But here you’ll find one of the best tasting coffee blends for sure! Pastries are also yummy!

To be honest, we didn't try the coffee or any other drinks, but we did order cakes, and unfortunately, all of them were dry. The coffee roll, in particular, was quite disappointing, and we were expecting a much better dessert experience. Sadly, every cake we tried was equally underwhelming.

Best coffee I’ve had in Freiburg and one of the best in general. Love the flat white and you get to choose your own beans. The shop was cosy and had great cinnamon buns too. Loved it!
