Jan T — Google review
Enormous industrial complex that was changed into a free tourist zone. There are some events organized here, they were even getting ready for one, when I was there, so you would assume that's a perfect example of revitalization effort. Unfortunately that's not entirely true. Yes instead of a toxic plant there is a museum and a forest, however that is also all that's here. Some of the equipment was left under the sun on its own, getting rusty and overgrown, making it look quite sad. Most of the buildings are closed down and the guided tour shows just a fraction of them. There is also no possibility to go underground inside the coal mine, to explore its history. Thinking it was the biggest one is quite a shame. Overall even though the complex makes an amazing first expression the longer you walk through it the sadder it gets. Wasted potential...
Maciej P — Google review
My visit to the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex was an absolutely magnificent experience. It is truly awe-inspiring to see how this former industrial behemoth has been masterfully repurposed into a vibrant cultural landscape, housing museums, exhibition centers, a university, and more. The vision required to preserve such a monumental piece of history while breathing new life into it is simply remarkable. ​The sprawling 100-hectare site has been ingeniously transformed into a verdant park, with fantastic cycling and walking paths weaving through the imposing structures. This unique blend of industrial heritage and natural beauty means you can have a wonderful visit just enjoying the park, even if history isn't your main interest. ​Zollverein truly offers a full day of exploration and enjoyment for the entire family. With delightful cafes, excellent restaurants, and even a casino on the grounds, it's impossible to feel a moment of boredom. ​I was unfortunately pressed for time and could only spend three hours there, which was barely enough to scratch the surface. I am already planning my next trip to fully immerse myself in everything this incredible place has to offer. ​A Special Tip: To truly grasp the immense scale of the complex, I wholeheartedly recommend exploring it by bike or taking one of the guided cart tours. It's an experience that is absolutely worth it!

So pleasantly surprised by this place, it is insta worth it on its own but don’t miss out on the Ruhr museum, worth getting the full ticket to see the special exhibits. Humongous place to see not only the story is the mines but the area, its people and work. Could easily spend there several hours and still not see everything. Pair with Red Dot design museum in the same complex!
Eki, : — Google review
Parking is free, and information offices offer maps of this former industrial area, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The map shows the locations of the various exhibitions and indicates a circular route that takes about an hour and a half to walk at a slow pace. On Sundays when I was there, tourist trains run in the site and there are also guided tours. The ticket offices display the prices of the different tickets. I paid €10 for the Ruhr Museum and the Portal der Industriekultur, which has a panoramic terrace. This coal mine, began operating in 1932. Together with the processing plant, it occupied an area of about 100 hectares. It closed in 1986 and began its transformation into a cultural center in 1990.
Fabio R — Google review
A beautiful place. A huge mine listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The area around the mine is vast and green, and there's even a small playground for children. There's ample parking for cars. There's a small café on the grounds where you can enjoy a coffee or snack while waiting to enter the mine. Prices are reasonable. I recommend visiting this architectural wonder.

Surprisingly wonderful repurposing of an industrial site as a cultural centre. The juxtaposition of the buildings and metalwork with reclaiming nature is striking, and we could have easily have spent hours more wandering around than we had the time for during our visit. Easy to dismiss at a glance on the internt but remarkably affecting in person. Very glad we stopped to see it.
Cj H — Google review
This made for a fascinating few hours. It's all quiet now but you can imagine the noise, heat and dust when it was operating. It has been very skilfully transformed into a coal museum and there is a large area to wander around by the coking plant.

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Cologne Cathedral, a stunning example of Gothic architecture, stands as a majestic landmark in the heart of Cologne. Its grand facade is just the beginning; visitors can embark on guided tours that not only delve into its rich history but also offer breathtaking views of the Rhine River. The vibrant city surrounding this iconic cathedral is alive with culture and charm, from medieval markets to lively carnival celebrations.
Majestic…. In every angle. Firstly a great place of worship. A great prayer hall, architecture, gothic at is best. The entrances from east and west are not to be missed of its details. The north with two mighty towers offers best of it. The huge windows with itched glasses depicting various holy characters are worth watching in details. It takes one full day to enjoy this place in and out.

The Cologne Cathedral is absolutely amazing and breathtaking! Its enormous size and stunning Gothic architecture make it one of the most impressive landmarks I’ve ever visited. Even though it’s often crowded, everything feels well organized, and the atmosphere remains peaceful and respectful. It’s also right next to the Hauptbahnhof (main train station), so it’s very easy to reach — perfect for a quick stop or a longer visit. The gift shop is lovely, with nice souvenirs and books about the cathedral’s history. I especially recommend visiting on rainy days — the interior feels even more magical and calming, with the sound of rain outside and the light coming through the stained glass windows. Truly a must-see spot in Cologne!
Armin V — Google review
During our Rhine River Cruise, we came here to see this great piece of Gothic architecture. We came with our guide. Since they are not allowed inside, we saw it ourselves. It took more than 600 years to complete this magnificent Church. It was declared World Heritage Site in 1996. It is most visited landmark in Germany. More than 6 million tourist visit every year. It is the third tallest Church in the world. This medieval Church is continuously renovated. It is very beautiful from inside. The stained window glasses and other piece of art and paintings are magnificent. It's open from 10 to 5 from Monday to Saturday and 1 to 4 on Sundays. Minimum one hour is required to see it properly. The trolley bags and other big bags are not allowed inside.
Balkrishna S — Google review
An absolutely breathtaking masterpiece, one of the most awe-inspiring buildings you’ll ever see. Standing before it, you can truly feel the weight of centuries, the devotion, and the artistry that went into every single stone. The towering spires seem to touch the sky, and when the sunlight hits the stained glass windows, the entire interior glows with color and quiet power. It’s not just a cathedral - it’s a symbol of human perseverance, faith, and creativity. Construction began in the 13th century and took more than 600 years to complete, yet the vision never faded. Every detail, from the delicate sculptures to the massive arches, tells a story of patience and belief that beauty is worth waiting for.
Freya N — Google review
Its foundation was laid in the 13th century and it was only completed in the 19th century; it rises in the very heart of the city as one of the most impressive examples of Gothic architecture. Both the details on the exterior and the historic, tranquil atmosphere you feel once you step inside are truly mesmerizing. Just walking around in the silence, with light filtering through the stained glass and the ceilings soaring above you, is an experience in itself. It’s a landmark that’s become synonymous with Cologne and, in my opinion, a truly magnificent place that you definitely shouldn’t miss.
Cihan E — Google review
We came for the Christmas markets but were wowed by this cathedral. Absolutely stunning. It is free, which is amazing!!! We walked right in. We did pay €20 for the whole family to go up the south tower. We did not buy these ahead. It was a little tight up the stairs. 535 of them. We saw the bells and they rang when we were by them, which was cool.
Nancy P — Google review
One of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever seen. Cologne Cathedral isn’t just a building — it dominates the city. The closer you stand, the more unreal it feels: every detail, every shadow, every tower looks carved with impossible precision. Inside, the atmosphere drops into silence instantly. It’s calm, powerful, almost overwhelming in the best way. If you’re in Cologne, this is the one place you absolutely can’t skip. Truly unforgettable.

The Lindt Chocolate Museum in Cologne offers a delightful journey through the history of chocolate, from its ancient origins with the Aztecs to its modern-day production. Situated by the waterfront, this museum showcases various exhibits that provide insight into the evolution of chocolate over time. It's a sweet escape for anyone with a love for all things chocolate and is definitely worth a visit while exploring Cologne.
The museum was amazing. I went there with a friend, and you start with an interesting information room about where cacao actually comes from and how it is harvested. When you enter, you’re also offered a few pieces of chocolate, which taste amazing. After that, you go to an actual factory where they produce fresh chocolate, and you can get a small piece to try. It tasted amazing and smelled wonderful. You can also buy freshly made chocolate there. At the end, upstairs, there is a nice showroom with interesting displays of old chocolate packaging. When exiting, there is a small shop where you can buy chocolate as well. In conclusion, it was an amazing experience and I would recommend it to everyone.
Hakan B — Google review
Location is convenient along the river so if one is coming from a river cruise docking, can walk over in minutes. There are a lot of people, so would recommend booking tickets ahead of time. We decided to go late and managed to get 2 of the last 3 tickets within the 2 hrs before closing. Do note that there are discount tickets closer to end of day for a reason. The stations close half an hour before the entire museum close (6pm close then 5:30pm stations are cleared). With the amount of people, it is hard to go through everything before stations stop if it’s close to closing time. We went on a bad day: close to closing time, weekend, and a day where shops in the town are closed for All Saints’ Day, so everyone went to the museum. The layout of the museum does not allow for multiple ways to get to different floors/rooms. There is only 1 elevator for guests to use. So it will be a long wait going between floors and stations to get any free chocolate (we got none… too long of lines and stations were closing). But overall, still a good place to visit. Would just suggest to not go late in the day but more during daytime in a non-weekend, that should make the experience more enjoyable.
Veronica C — Google review
I had a wonderful time at the chocolate museum. Plenty of rooms with easy-going info about the origins of chocolate, cocoa, its processing, packaging, transport, and commercialization. You can see in loco a section of a production line and taste a sample of chocolate. Also some interesting historical info on where it all began. It is a great museum for families, kids or only adults. plenty of games and experiments for the young folks. I was so entertained that I almost forgot to take photos. If you are in town don’t miss this museum.
Jorge A — Google review
The entrance was guarded by a tall female staff who looked very angry and not at all welcoming. The museum content was very extensive, curated with great detail and academic accuracy, very educational. You also get to try the milk chocolate as it was produced. We only wish there was a water fountain or at least a vending machine that sells water because the chocolates were quite rich and sweet. The cafe staff were very attentive and hospitable, price was reasonable. The entire experience has been most positive but was ruin at the end. I was waiting for my family who went to the washroom by the main door. The museum was closing in a few minutes, I wanted to go to the bench next to the door to put my coat on. The same tall angry female employee from the ticket entrance came to me, wouldn’t allow me a moment for coat and ask me to go out the door because “we are closing in a minute”. There were still people in the gift shop, at the coat check and coming from the bathrooms at the time. Being the only Asian female in the hall I felt unfairly targeted and discriminated.

It was in the year 2025, during Christmas, I was exploring the very famous Christmas markets in Köln. It was extremely cold and I needed some hot chocolate. There was none available in the market. So we decided to step inside the cafe and we were awestruck by their service. Even though itwas heavily crowded, we got two seats quickly and ordered their hot chocolate and banana waffle. The hot chocolate was extremely delicious, particularly with the cream on top. The waffle had one white chocolate ice cream, something that I had never tasted before and it was extremely delicious. Best part is that the prices were extremely reasonable. I would go there again and agan.
Pranjal N — Google review
We visited the Lindt Chocolate Museum on Sunday the 23rd, and it was very busy. Luckily, Max, one of the friendly floor walkers, helped us book tickets online via QR code. The museum was more about learning the history and process of chocolate than eating it, but there were a few tasty samples. The highlight was the wafer dipped in the chocolate fountain—absolutely delicious. Pro tip: when you reach the machinery section, head to the right side for two sample opportunities, as most people go left. Overall, informative and enjoyable, though not quite what I expected.
Garry C — Google review
For 18 euros it’s not the best value for money. There was a good amount of information to read around the museum and the chocolate making room was incredible. However, it was very busy causing a huge amount of queuing and not much chance to enjoy the experience. The free chocolates were a nice touch but for the price of admission there was very little. Gift shop at the end had lots of choice but definitely pricey.
Hannah E — Google review
The museum is very interesting but has however a few points for improvement that would make the experience more pleasant. I visited today (23/11/25) at 12. Firstly, for the entire duration of the tour, we couldn't find a single toilet. Maybe it was not properly signed? At the ticket counter, the the ticket officer was unbelievably rude and rushing to pay, even though there was no queue and I was just ensuring she understood the proper time slot that I wanted. Time slots are also another big problem. Unfortunately, the same time slot is allocated to more people than it should be allowed to. This leads to queues during the tour and you can't actually enjoy the experience at its fullest. Also, the crowd is not properly managed by the personnel (for example, the queues for the entry mixes with the ones for the museum cafè and cloakroom), leading to chaos. Neverthless, it was an enjoyable experience.

Vohwinkel is a district in Wuppertal, known for its central station, Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof, and the iconic Schwebebahn suspension railway. The railway is a landmark of the city and offers convenient public transportation with frequent departures. It operates primarily on weekends and holidays, with replacement bus services on weekdays. The Schwebebahn provides a unique perspective of the city as it cruises above streets and residential areas.
One of its kind hanging train. The train is in service from early 1900's. An amazing engineering feat! The Bahn Route covers scenic places. It runs above river, roads. Try to occupy the last seat as it provides the best visual treat!

It's a very good experience for a one time ride. The trains were nice and clean. Lines are beautifully constructed over the central canal through the city. The views of the surrounding hills are also nice. Tips: The tail end seats offer the best views. It's a bit noisy ride.
Al-amin N — Google review
I was told about this suspension railway and recommended to try it. I joined at Kluse (one stop down from the main train station, next to the cinema) and grabbed a ticket - although cheap (only 1.70) I found the machine doesn't take credit card, so come prepared with coins. The railway isn't big - only two carriages - but they are pretty frequent so if you miss one (or it's full), you don't have long to wait for the next. The carriages have been modernised: they're brightly-lit with clean seats that don't look worn in any way. Sitting at the back gives a good view down the river and along the roads during the trip, but as I tried it last evening in winter most of my trip was quite dark. I travelled south-west all the way to Vohwinkel (the terminal stop) where it's possible to see the other carriages parked, so there's quite a few cars. I then grabbed the one on the other side and travelled back the other way. Quite leisurely, a pretty smooth ride and fairly quick, given the age of the technology. Well worth the trip!

Beethoven-Haus Bonn is an 18th-century house where the renowned composer Ludwig van Beethoven was born in 1770. It serves as a museum with exhibits showcasing his manuscripts, last piano, and rare artifacts. Visitors can immerse themselves in the life and work of Beethoven through authentic and impressive displays. The attraction also features a research center with rare recordings, offering insights into the composer's historical and reception contexts.
Well maintained house with a fantastic collection of attefacts that showcase Beethoven's musical journey. The tickets are a bit pricey in my opinion at €14. Go early to avoid waiting in line to buy tickets. I recommend to check it out when visiting Bonn.
Benjamin M — Google review
In the old town of Bonn lies Beethoven's house, now a museum. Across 3 floors, you can find instruments, old manuscripts, paintings, and sculptures, and learn about how he became the legendary composer he is. I found Beethoven-Haus to be slightly underwhelming, as it was not interactive and small—I expected at least a piano to play on. The "special exhibition" was not too special at all, as it only had abstract paintings and a small sculpture. On the bright side, the "music hall" played pieces by Beethoven and offered a place to sit and relax. If you are a fan of his, I recommend visiting. If not, don't waste your time as it will only bore you.

I just love Beethoven's music and was delighted to visit his place of birth in Bonn and now they have made it into a museum. A wonderful museum dedicated to Beethoven’s life and music.

Great collection of artefacts, well presented, with a very good app offering plenty of detail. 3 floors, plus a garden. He didn't live here many years but it's the only house left where he did. It's definitely possible to come away with a better understanding of the man. Recommend!

In my opinion, it’s a calm yet impressive stop that you should definitely make time for in the city. This house-museum, where Ludwig van Beethoven was born, is not just an ordinary place where you walk through a few rooms; it offers a well-curated exhibition that neatly tells the story of the composer’s life, his era and his music. During your visit, you can take a short breather in the courtyard and then complete the experience by listening to his works in the music room.
Cihan E — Google review
This place tells not only about Beethoven's life story, but also his struggles, his creative process, and his resistance to illness. There are 3 level floors and some rooms. The display of the objects are interesting. And they also have link to explain everything there. You can buy the ticket at the store infront of the house. It's about €14 per person. And you have to put you bags in the locker inside the store with €1 or €2 deposit.

Great place to visit in Bonn. Tour lasts around 50 minutes and you can see real partitures, objects and even personal items from Beethoven.

Went here to watch Dortmund’s Champions League game against Bilbao and it was such a nice experience. Not a Dortmund fan so I was a neutral coming there to just enjoy the experience. The building was pretty easy to access once you’re in it but it could get confusing when you’re not sure where to enter as there are north and south entrance. Clean toilet, good beer and nice atmosphere.

Great experience from start to finish! We explored the pitch, stands, players’ tunnel and locker rooms — an amazing behind-the-scenes look at one of Europe’s most iconic stadiums. The atmosphere, history and energy of Signal Iduna Park are truly something special. A must-visit for every football fan! 🟡⚫️

Visiting from Canada and brought my 3 kids here aged 3 to 7. The whole family had an amazing time. Well thought out exhibits, loved seeing so many different animals up close and personal. Will always remember our visit to this zoo. Should have gotten tickets online sooner as they were cheaper, and can attend for free on your birthday!

Pretty good. But seeing someone smoking in the kids playground was shocking to me. Really good work with the themed atmosphere and building structures. Animals hiding in the shade but most still visible.
Arunas B — Google review
My first time here and I absolutely loved it. I honestly didn’t expect much from a zoo in Germany, but this one went far beyond my expectations. It feels more like an amusement park somehow! The boat ride is my favorite part, since some of the animals can be seen better from the boat. And don’t miss the zoo shop. They have so many cute merch items. Definitely one of the best zoos I’ve ever been to.
Noey T — Google review
All the animals looked so happy! The enclosures are just so amazing! Really good job making them themed after the area you’d find the animals in the wild, which just made it look so natural and made it look so that the animals were at home! Not seen anything like this before! The entry fee is at the higher end but it’s so worth it! Loved all of it!

15 out of 10 for theming, one of my favorite in the world! Beautiful areas and though they’re building new areas, spaces are original, more like a theme park and according to the animals. Loved the Yukon! Easy to navigate but plenty of signage, maps and ways to find your way. Worth a visit!

Wartburg

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Wartburg is a medieval castle located in Eisenach, Germany, set on a high rock surrounded by parkland. This UNESCO-listed site has played a significant role in German history for over a millennium. It was at Wartburg where Martin Luther translated the New Testament and codified the written German language while under papal ban. The castle's construction dates back to 1067 and has undergone various changes over the centuries, reflecting the region's cultural shifts.
Can be accessed by car, there is a parking lot next to it. If you are out of luck as we were there are additional parking spots in the city below with busses riding to the castle. You can also take one of the hiking trails that offer a lot of scenic views. The castle itself is well preserved, there is an armory to visit and a tower to see everything around. Definitely worth seeing if you are around. Additionally I only noticed it recently but at the start this castle is shown in the LP music clip One last time.
Maciej P — Google review
Interesting castle, not the best I have seen, but quite big and equipped. Short tour thru the living quarters in the castle, bit about the Martin Luter history and nice viewing point. Overall I expected more interesting place than it actually was. Small parking at the bottom of the hill with short walk up, or shuttle bus ride. Worth visiting, but bit disappointing.

Wonderful location and views from the castle. The historical tour is very interesting and the preservation and restoration of the chambers is top notch. It is also a historical site for christians, as Martin Luther started the translation to the New Testament in this castle. You can see the room in which he was working.

We visited Wartburg during the Christmas season. Getting up to the castle was quite a trek - it's a long and challenging walk uphill, so be prepared if you're not in good shape! It was also very cold and windy at the top of the mountain. The Christmas market was extremely crowded, so unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to properly explore it. We also found it a bit difficult to find the castle entrance as there weren't clear signs outside. However, the guided tour inside was excellent! The guide shared the castle's history along with interesting stories and fun facts. Before leaving, we even enjoyed some live music in the upper part of the castle.

Now that's a beautiful castle. We took the guided tour and learned a lot! It's worth taking a slow walk at the museum once the tour finishes. Sit, have a beer and a Thüringen wurst. Just lovely!

Lest you miss it at the Wartburg: The triptych of the 3 successive electors by Lucas Cranach depicts a pivotal part of German and European history. The central position is held by Frederick the Wise, Duke of Saxony, arch marshall and elector of emperor Charles V, having refused his own candidacy. Frederick holds the vice regal crown of Germany during the absence of the emperor. His brother John (l) followed, and the latter's son John Frederick (r) fought against emperor and pope for the new church. (JF was brother-in-law to Kg Henry VIII for a short while by the Cleve sisters.)
Hans G — Google review
The trekking routes around and on the way to the castle have some of the visually stunning vistas of the Thüringen wilderness. The city of Eisenach looks quite stunning along the way as well. I'd definitely recommend the trek to the castle along from the other side of another hill.

Specialty Museums
Autostadt in Wolfsburg is a must-visit destination for car enthusiasts and families alike. This automobile museum offers a fascinating display of the history of Volkswagen, featuring an impressive collection of vintage cars alongside new vehicle parking towers. Visitors can also enjoy driving tracks, shops, and restaurants within the park. Additionally, Autostadt provides a unique experience for families with designated play areas and activities for kids.
There’s a lot to see here, and it’s not boring at all. It’s perfect for families, car enthusiasts, and kids. You can see history and modern cars, including Bugatti, Porsche, VW, and Audi. There are also fun play structures for kids, places to climb, huge slides, hoops, and more. And the food was great - we had some delicious pizzas and even got some souvenirs. The only downside is that the Porsche museum was closed because of a concert, and I’m a big Porsche fan, so I give it 4 stars. Objectively though 5 stars.
Zafar M — Google review
If you are into cars and the automotive industry then this place is for you, it has a good playground for the little ones and for food you have restaurants and a bakery. It’s near the railway station and they have a huge parking lot that doesn’t cost that much. It’s worth the visit though you’ll a good chunk of the day to cover everything.

If it is your first time you will love it. The car museum is so nice If it is your second time it is the same. I have been here in 2018 and only things that changed were the sliders for the kids/adukts near the 4 chimney and of course there are new car models but... not so much change. You pay 20€ to see the cars and touch the production ones like in a regular car store.

Museum had a good range of cars from many manufacturers. The train tour around the factory was fantastic very immersive with a lot of information and interesting detail. The team were very accommodating we had been stuck in traffic so had missed the English speaking tour however, they went out of there way to give us an English spoken tour of the factor of the factory separate to the scheduled German tour.

The old town is dominated by the castle and church on the hill. The district is perfect for strolling through half-timbered houses and winding lanes.

(Translated by Google) World cultural heritage... and rightly so. This number of old half-timbered houses... surprising and inspiring. You quickly get the feeling that time has been turned back. Since there are fairy lights hanging in the alleys everywhere in the city, it must be really great in the evenings. Full recommendation for a visit. (Original) Weltkulturerbe.... und das zu Recht. Diese Anzahl an alten Fachwerkhäusern... überraschend und begeisternd. Man bekommt schnell ein Gefühl, als sei die Zeit zurückgedreht.

(Translated by Google) The old town ensures that Quedlinburg is rightfully a World Heritage Site. One half-timbered house follows the next, and at times, you truly feel like you're walking through the Middle Ages. Many alleyways are tucked away with small shops, restaurants, and pubs. Depending on the time of year, it's naturally very busy, but the old town is absolutely worth a visit. The climb to the castle hill is also worthwhile, as it offers a magnificent view of the old town. (Original) Die Altstadt sorgt dafür, dass Quedlinburg zurecht Welterbe ist. Ein Fachwerkhaus jagt das andere, man hat wirklich teils das Gefühl, man würde durchs Mittelalter wandeln. In vielen Gassen verstecken sich kleine Geschäfte, Restaurants und Kneipen. Es sind natürlich je nach Jahreszeit sehr viele Leute unterwegs, aber die Altstadt ist einen Besuch absolut wert. Auch der Aufstieg auf den Burgberg lohnt sich, weil man hier einen herrlichen Ausblick auf die Altstadt hat.

Krämerbrücke, also known as the chandlers bridge, is a historic landmark in Erfurt, Germany. It is the longest inhabited bridge in Europe and features half-timbered houses that now house galleries, cafes, antique shops, and boutiques. This medieval bridge offers a glimpse into the city's rich history and provides stunning views of Erfurt from its cobblestone street.
This is probably the first thing you should visit as a tourist in Erfurt - it's beautiful, there's lots of cute little shops, you can get some ice cream and sit and enjoy the view of this beautiful bridge and all the people who are walking past. There were lots of tourist groups, but it was still relatively quiet. I'd really recommend coming here!

The Krämerbrücke in Erfurt is the longest bridge in Europe that is completely covered with inhabited buildings. It spans the Gera River and connects Benediktsplatz with Wenigemarkt in the heart of the old town. Small shops, galleries, and artisan workshops line the bridge, giving it a charming medieval atmosphere. It is one of Erfurt’s most famous landmarks and a popular spot for both locals and visitors.

Zoo Leipzig is a top destination in Germany, offering an immersive experience for visitors to observe 850 different animal species in habitats that closely resemble their natural environments. From watching elephants swim through an underwater glass wall to encountering black howler monkeys and playful penguins, the zoo provides a diverse range of experiences. Visitors can also explore themed areas such as the tropical Gondwanaland, home to Germany's only Komodo Dragon, and the unique Pongoland featuring various primate species.
Leipzig Zoo is hands down the best zoo I’ve ever been to – just go! The area is massive and beautifully designed, with tons of space to explore. The animals are surprisingly close, and there’s an amazing variety – I saw species I’d never even heard of before. There are plenty of spots to grab food or a drink along the way, which makes the whole visit super chill. The highlight for me was the tropical hall *Gondwanaland* – a huge indoor rainforest with its own climate. It’s seriously impressive and makes the whole experience feel really unique.

This Is the most amazing zoo I've ever been to. It's so big with the kids. We could only see a portion of it, but the jungle experience especially with the boat ride was so cool.

Leipzig Zoo is one of the best zoos I‘ve ever visited. Large enclosures. Many events throughout the day. Amazing infrastructure (you can find maps, sign posts, and directions for a tour that leads you through the entire zoo everywhere). They also don’t solely focus on the animals as mere entertainment but seek to inform kids in playful ways about preservation/biology/even physics in the aquarium. Leipzig Zoo also provides a variety of restaurants and snack bars that are evenly distributed across the entire Zoo. I wholly recommend visiting, whether alone or with friends and family. It’s an amazing and informative experience!

This zoo park was fantastic. I would recommend this to everyone. There is so much to see and you should have water with you because food and water prices there is too expensive. WC is free which is very good. And I suggest you guys to go early there, zoo opens at 9 am and closes at 7pm. As I mentioned earlier there is lot to see so you probably will need some rest. And one good thing about this zoo park is that you see animals without any borders and it is kind of crazy but it is safe. So enjoy with your trip everyone.

Völkerschlachtdenkmal

Mentioned on 
+55 other lists 
Memorial
Sights & Landmarks
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations is a 91-meter-high memorial in Leipzig, commemorating the 1813 battle where Napoleon was defeated. It features a viewing platform and a history museum. Leipzig offers diverse attractions such as the Leipzig Book Fair, Bach Festival, cultural events, green spaces like the Riverside Forest and botanical gardens, and landmarks including the Bach Museum and St. Nicholas Church.
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations (Völkerschlachtdenkmal) is an absolute must-see in Leipzig. Towering at 91 meters, it commemorates the historic 1813 Battle of Leipzig, one of the largest conflicts in European history, where Napoleon’s army was decisively defeated. This striking monument is not only a symbol of resistance and unity but also a masterpiece of early 20th-century architecture. Surrounded by a tranquil reflecting pool and parkland, the monument offers an awe-inspiring exterior and an equally impressive interior. Visitors can ascend to the top for panoramic views of Leipzig and explore the solemn halls, giant warrior statues, and crypt-like chambers that leave a lasting emotional impact. Its grand scale, peaceful atmosphere, and deep historical significance make it one of the most important landmarks in the city. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or simply a curious traveler, this site offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Clean, well-maintained, and accessible, the Völkerschlachtdenkmal is more than just a monument—it’s a place of memory, reflection, and beauty. If you're visiting Leipzig, this iconic site belongs at the top of your list.
Alazani V — Google review
At the entrance, a welcoming entrance with an airy crypt with heating. On the first floor there was a film that explains the entire history from the origins in the early 1800s to the present day. Viewing is recommended. Then you climb up to the first internal cornice, which is very overhanging. You then climb to the upper floors, and then you reach the first external cornice located under the feet of the statues that can be seen from outside. You can take the elevator up to that level. From there, you climb to the highest part of the building with a very narrow but well-made stone staircase. A visit is recommended to better understand the history of the city. Full adult ticket price €12

This intense and impressive monument is a MUST SEE if you are in Leipzig. The scale is stunning and is reminiscent of the Mines of Moria in Lord of the Rings. There are multiple lifts but if you want to get to the top viewing area, you have to use the stairs and it is a little walk. No bad, but most people emerged a little winded and sweaty. The sweeping views of Leipzig are great and, if you go on a sunny day, you can see many miles/kilometers in every direction. Highly recommended.
Chad T — Google review
A really impressive monument. It really makes you feel the enormity of the event being memorialized much like the World War I monument in Kansas City. There was a feeling of heaviness about the monument and it made me feel retrospective. A very nice visit. A stroll through the cemetery nextdoor is also warranted.

Observation deck
Outdoor Activities
The Diana Observation Tower, also known as the Dianaturm, is a 35-meter-tall tetragonal brick structure built in 1914. It offers breathtaking views of Karlovy Vary and its surroundings, with visibility extending up to 70 kilometers on clear days. Visitors can reach the tower by taking well-marked trails from the town center or enjoying a short funicular railway ride.
Diana Observation Tower is a great spot for panoramic views over Karlovy Vary. You can either hike up or take the funicular, which runs (at least in summer) every 15 minutes. Funicular is located right next to the Grandhotel Pupp. Once you reach the top, the tower is just a few steps away. There’s even an elevator inside, so you don’t need to climb the stairs—especially nice on a hot day. From the top, you get stunning views of the city and the surrounding forest. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town! 🗼

Diana Observation Tower is a must-see attraction in Karlovy Vary!

A must-visit place for anyone coming to Karlovy Vary!

Beautiful 360 degree view of the region. There's also a small, budget-friendly kiosk selling street food and drinks in front of the tower.

You pay for the funicular.

Tropical Islands

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Tropical Islands is a vast water park with accommodations like rooms and cottages, featuring an indoor rainforest and a lagoon. The Aquapark AMAZONIA offers outdoor heated pools, water slides, and Balinese beds for relaxation. Conference facilities are available for business events. Guests can enjoy various dining options on-site. While some visitors had issues with check-in, they found the park impressive with its diverse activities and natural elements like animals and plants.
We had a great stay, but yes they use too much chlorine in the water and since chlorine is a gas and is not trapped well in warm water the atmosphere is feeling heavy of chlorine. This is unfortunate. Having said that, we had a great stay. Not all the staff are polite as expected but the greatest majority are good. They are just not very confortable with English. The service was good however. We stayed at the sunrise houses and it was a great surprise. It was clean and very fresh, almost new even.

It’s an incredible experience that I will never do again. The waterpark aspect is nice and huge, but every beach chair is taken by towels… You can change to swim wear in the dome but there are not enough closets for everyone and the ones that seem available are broken. Meaning the lock doesn’t work. The food is bad and the service to get the food is worse - it’s horrendous. They have hired just about 1 server per restaurant and they only speak German. Today our dinner restaurant at Ohana hotel where we stay, had run out of 2 food items, of 5 available, and ketchup. At least they said that they might have it tomorrow, but no guarantees. The room in Ohana is nice. And one elevator is broken so always a queue to get up to your room. You can buy a refill cup, that you can fill every 45 minutes, but there was always a queue and multiple times we experienced that drinks had run out or no ice… If you like regular quality food, then this is not for you. If you like good food, then Germany is not for you. So, all in all it’s an experience - not be repeated.

Tropical Islands - a place that will test if your team would survive on a deserted island. I came to Tropical Islands for two days with a group of 16 friends. I booked four tents (bookings were made simultaneously, from one account). Upon arrival, I discovered that two tents were in Zone 1, and two more in another one – about 5 minutes apart. It seemed absurd to split the group, but I decided it wasn't worth arguing about. Upon arriving at the tents, we discovered that one of our assigned tents was occupied by strangers, leaving my guests with nowhere to sleep. I spent approx. 1.5 hours at the reception desk discussing the situation, and the staff sent me from one employee to another, with no specific action. Each employee kept me waiting, without telling me how long or for what I was waiting for. The manager suggested moving one tent to Zone 1 and leaving the other four guests separately in Zone 2, or putting four people in a "house" in a completely different area from the rest of my guests. This would have meant we'd be housed in three different areas of the complex. We weren't given the option of moving all of us to the same area. The only comment from the staff was "we are overbooked, we can't do anything about it - you can write a complaint". When I asked ironicaly if I could give a one-star rating on Google Maps as compensation, the employee said yes. What I'm doing right now. After the argument, we were given a tent that leaked and was completely wet (pics attached). The staff told us, they don't have any protective foil and we had to deal with it by ourselves. When asked what kind of compensation we will receive for the inconvenience, wasted time, and ruined atmosphere, the employee said we could get 4 coctails vouchers. After commenting that there were definitely more of us and the whole group was now waiting and getting upset, the employee decided the problem was limited to one tent. Ultimately, we received 7 vouchers, which could only be used in the area outside the main water attractions. The worst customer service I've ever experienced. The entire complex advertises itself as an amusement park, although the attractions included in the ticket price are two swimming pools (one of which is a children's playground), four indoor water slides, one pool and one outdoor slide. During our stay, the outdoor water wasn't very warm. The outdoor slide didn't have enough water, and we stopped at every turn, having to push ourselves off the walls. The bar and food court, as well as most of the attractions, close at 10:00 PM – this isn't a place for adults looking to spend a pleasant evening, enjoy an exotic evening drink on the beach, dance, etc. If it weren't for the fact that I wasted a lot of time on Saturday arguing with the staff and having team-building activities planned for my guests for the evening, we would have left right after breakfast on the second day, as there was absolutely nothing to do for more than 4-5 hours. On the positive side, I came with fantastic people who organized themselves, made a great atmosphere and wanted to have fun together. Breakfast was also good. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it. The Polish Suntago is definitely more attractive, better organized, and has a wider variety of attractions for everyone and stuff is more pro-client.

We arrived at 6pm and waited in line for a little over 1hr to get checked in. Check in person was friendly but overwhelmed. We had to find our way around during our stay but it’s ok because my husband and my son are very good in memorizing the way. The frustration started when we wanted to check out. They have some check out machines that many people use to check out, but many of them are stuck because the machine won’t take the payment so in the end they can’t finish the self check out. After waiting and observing the situation, we decided to do check out at the counter. The person (a beautiful lady) told us how much to pay and I reached my wallet to pay to the cents with coins. This, apparently, created frustration for the beautiful lady and she had to shake her head while looking at what I was doing. VERY UNPOLITE, but also very German! Honestly, we had a great time at tropical island and in the end she had to ruin that experience. WHYYY???? I just don’t get it. But be prepared for this kind of customer service wherever you are when in Germany!

Impressive at first glance but we wouldn't come again. The initial impression is really cool, the jungle area and overall size of the dome is nice! But afterwards, you'll notice some things: - Food and service are absolutely horrible. We waited 10 minutes to be seated at a restaurant, and there was no one in front of us and the restaurant was basically empty. - Almost all arcade games and tables in the game area are just broken. Overall, our group agreed that it was a nice one time experience and maybe really cool for a single day stay with small children, but we wouldn't go there again.

The venue itself is genuinely beautiful and well-kept. The environment is immersive, clean, and provides a pleasant tropical atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the unique setting. Dining Disappointment: The food quality is poor. It mostly consists of low-quality frozen products sold at the price of normal, fresh meals. This is a significant drawback for a day-long visit. • Locker Trouble: The changing room situation was frustrating. Lockers for personal belongings are open and seemingly available, but are unusable, which causes inconvenience right at the start of the visit. • Service Hit-or-Miss: The staff attempts to be nice and polite, but the execution of good service is inconsistent. Their efforts are visible, but the helpfulness and efficiency vary.

On balance a great experience enjoyed by us all. Would advise an overnight stay, as facilities can be used prior both check-in and check-out. Arriving around 17:00 ~ albeit in November ~ using the QR code meant little or no delay, leaving time for the pools and water-slides prior the buffet dinner. Likewise with an early start we were able to use many of the facilities ahead of the day-trippers before a buffet breakfast. An imaginative way of using a remarkable historic building, and an interesting contrast to the autumn weather beyond! Our only criticism stems from using the regional railway service to arrive (30 mins delay) and depart (120 mins delay)... maybe the trains ran on schedule back in the day?

It was the most horrible experience. We arrived at 11:30, none of the lockers were locked. We tried dozens of lockers. We, like many other people, had to leave our things in an open locker. Or we had to carry everything with us. We were with three small children, so carrying everything with us was not an option. The air and water inside were not warm enough, everyone was freezing, both the children and us. Very few hair dryers. Finally, when we were leaving, I accidentally noticed the extra 10, 15 and 25 euros. When I asked the cashier what it was for, he said that it was for the bracelet that closes the locker, 2.50 euros and he didn't know anything more. He sent us to the information desk and didn't want to solve the problem. The information desk showed that it was a charge for our numerous attempts to close the locker. Of course they took 50 euros from us, but we spent a lot of time arguing and our tired children barely survived the whole time. I can only imagine how many people didn't notice and just paid whatever they were charged. And for all this terrible service we paid 200 euros and an additional 100 euros for food (only for two adults and three small children under 5 years old).

When visiting Pilsen, the Old Pilsner Urquell Brewery water Tower is a must-see attraction for beer enthusiasts. The brewery, in operation since 1842, offers guided tours that take visitors through the history of Pilsner Beer production. Tour highlights include a visit to the old cellars and a taste of unpasteurized beer at the end.
Great visit and wonderful English speaking guide.

(Translated by Google) This over 400-year-old unique building has a beautiful Gothic portal. It was built in 1541 and was used until 1889, when a municipal water supply network was established in Pilzno. Until then, it powered four fountains in the corners of the square. The water tower operated on the principle of continuous vessels. The tower formed a continuous vessel with a fountain and a spring on the hill, which forced water into the fountains, often from quite a distance. The underground part of the building is currently part of an underground tourist route. The above-ground part serves as a multifunctional space with a contemporary art gallery and a museum dedicated to an important Pilsen family - Škoda. (Original) Ta ponad 400-letnia unikatowa budowla posiada ładny gotycki portal. Została zbudowana w 1541 roku i była użytkowana do 1889 roku, kiedy to w Pilźnie utworzono miejską sieć wodociągową. Do tego czasu zasilano z niego cztery fontanny w rogach placu. Wieża ciśnień działała na zasadzie naczyń ciągłych. Wieża tworzyła ciągłe naczynie z fontanną i źródłem na wzgórzu, dzięki czemu wtłaczała wodę do fontann, często z dość dużej odległości. Podziemna część budynku jest obecnie częścią podziemnej trasy turystycznej. Część nadziemna pełni funkcję wielofunkcyjnej przestrzeni, w której znajduje się galeria sztuki współczesnej oraz muzeum poświęcone ważnej rodzinie pilzneńskiej - Škody.

(Translated by Google) A very nice experience. Much of the history tour lasts about an hour. The presentation is indeed done at a high level and professionally. You will also visit the old part of the new one. And the best is the underground which is really big. And at the end, of course, a tasting of unfiltered Pilsen, which matures in underground barrels. And be sure to visit the souvenir shop. (Original) Veľmi pekný zážitok . Veľa z histórie prehliadka trvá cca hodinu . Prezentácia je ozaj spravená na úrovni a profesionálne . Navštívite aj starú časť novú . A najlepšie je to podzemie ktoré je naozaj veľké . A na konci samozrejne ochutnávka nefiltrovaneho Plzna ktorý zreje v sudoch v podzemí . A určite navštívte aj predajnu suvenírov .

Dresden Zwinger

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Dresden Zwinger is a stunning Baroque building that houses a porcelain collection and exhibits on historic scientific instruments. The city of Dresden, often referred to as 'The Florence on the Elbe,' boasts magnificent architectural wonders like the Semper Opera House, Royal Palace, Cathedral St. Trinitatis, Castle Pillnitz, and Frauenkirche. Despite the devastation of World War II, Dresden has persevered and regained its beauty.
The building is still under construction 🚧 and the garden also. But it’s still beautiful, they allowed tourists to go inside the garden for free and walking up to the fortress area to see the view on both sides of the castle and city. The beautiful historical arts and history is worth to visit, very close to the Opera House too.

Magnificent Baroque palace, initially build by August Strong as a an orangery and gardens, destroyed by the ally bombings in 1945, restored in 50s and 60s . You can walk on the roof of the galleries and admire the beauty of it. It's open till late evening and the entrance is free.The inner garden part is currently ( as of August 2025) under renovation. The galleries house 2 museums - one of mathematical instruments and another is porcelain gallery ( which I highly recommend). When we were there in one of the towers a classical music concert was held. It was beautiful to listen to music in a such beautiful place.

I visited the Zwinger in Dresden and really enjoyed the experience. There is a lot to see here, and the place itself feels quite special. The architecture is impressive and honestly a bit overwhelming – you can just stand there and keep looking at all the details. Every corner has something interesting, from the buildings themselves to the sculptures and the way everything is arranged. It was a bit crowded when I visited, but that didn’t really stop me from enjoying it. You still have plenty of space to walk around and take your time. I found myself slowing down just to notice the small details, and it was worth it. Overall, I think it’s one of those places you shouldn’t miss if you’re in Dresden. It’s not only about seeing a landmark, but also about the feeling of being surrounded by such a unique piece of history and design.

This is an absolute must-see in Dresden. There’s no need to explain why — just go. The palace offers much more to see than you might expect, so make sure to allow plenty of time for your visit. It’s truly worth the admission fee. The art museum was particularly impressive !

Dresden Zwinger is an absolutely beautiful place—one of those spots where you instantly feel like you’ve stepped into another century. The architecture is breathtaking, with elegant palace buildings, detailed façades and peaceful courtyards that make the whole complex feel almost magical. It’s the kind of place where you can just stroll around, soak in the atmosphere, admire the gardens, and truly appreciate the history and beauty of Dresden. A must-see when visiting the city.

What a beautiful palace. Baroque at its best. Apparently nearly completely destroyed during world War 2 it now shines once more. Different exhibitions at the 4 wings with porcelain, old master and physics. Close to all the downtown historic buildings. In walking distance to the Frauenkirche. A definite must see.

The Zwinger in Dresden is one of the city’s most stunning Baroque landmarks. Its elegant courtyards and ornate pavilions make it perfect for walking around and taking photos. The Old Masters Gallery, home to the “Sistine Madonna,” is a highlight, along with impressive porcelain and scientific collections. The site is well-kept, atmospheric, and beautiful both day and night. A visit truly feels worthwhile.

The Frauenkirche Dresden is a stunning Baroque church that was reconstructed and reconsecrated in 2005 after being destroyed during World War II. It is part of the magnificent architectural ensemble in Dresden, often referred to as 'The Florence on the Elbe,' which includes the Semper Opera House, Zwinger, Royal Palace, Cathedral St. Trinitatis (Hofkriche), and Castle Pillnitz.
This church is majestic and feels like a center piece of the city. The surrounding area with the church makes this place very picturesque. There is a called rubble from the past that is kept next to the church which is a nice little touch. This is definitely a must visit site in Dresden

We visited as it’s our last day, it’s pretty impressive how much money, time, and effort to rebuild all these historic buildings, including this Church of our Lady. Inside still haven’t had much to see but still nice to visit. Free entry but if you wish to climb up to the viewing tower over 100 steps then have a fee.
Pasan S — Google review
This is a beautiful church that is the jewel of Dresden. I loved visiting the church as well as sitting outside in one of the many cafes and restaurants and taking in the view. Church entrance is free. It’s gorgeous inside. If you want to climb up the dome, you need to go around the back. I think it was €12 entrance. The views are great from the top. There are a good few steps going up to start and then there is a ramp around the dome which makes it far easier to ascend.

Brilliant history! In the final days of WWII, the whole city was bombed including this church which was a very important part of Dresden. Following the reunification of German, it was rebuilt using some of the original stone! The building is incredible and there is a stunning view from the top. A must visit!

Frauenkirche Dresden, A symbol of peace and rebirth. Destroyed during World War II and rebuilt from its original stones, the Church of Our Lady stands today as a powerful reminder of faith, resilience, and hope. Its magnificent dome shines once again over the heart of Dresden
Ali A — Google review
It's free to walk into the main part of the church where you can see the beautiful interior, and 10€ per person to climb to the top of the church. The stairs are pretty easy most of the way up, and up until after you finish walking up a big sloped ramp near the end you must also get up some VERY steep and skinny stairs (so beware, if you're a claustrophobe or don't like heights). But the view of Dresden is so worth it if you do it.
Caleb M — Google review
The magnificent Frauenkirche! When I last visited decades ago, the church was nothing but a pile of rubble—or more accurately, a heap of stones—serving as a stark reminder of the devastation of war. Reconstruction began in 1994, and on October 30, 2005, it was officially reopened. The church hall is impressively tall and richly decorated. You can climb up to the dome, but we didn’t have time for that on this visit. I’m sure the views from up there—both into the church and across Dresden—are breathtaking. If you only have time to visit one attraction in Dresden, I’d choose the Frauenkirche.

Bastei

Rock
Sights & Landmarks
Lookouts
Bastei is a stunning rock formation located in the Saxon-Switzerland National Park, just an hour away from Dresden. It features tower-like rocks, a historic bridge called Basteibrucke, and picturesque hiking trails. The area also includes the Schwedenlocher, which were used as a safe retreat from invading Swedes 400 years ago and now serve as an exciting hiking trail with stairs, ladders, and narrow rock passages.
This was an amazing place. The geological formations here are very impressive. The bridge looks like something out of a fairytale. There are plenty of stairs involved if you want to see everything but nothing crazy. We were there late in the afternoon and the crowds had thinned out but still a bit busy. There are a bunch of shops for souvenirs, food etc. We went here as part of a day tour out of Prague.

What an incredible surprise! Nestled in the middle of nowhere, this mountain/valley comes to you as a delightful revelation. Its appearance is unlike anything you’ve seen before, setting it apart from its surroundings. This is one of the most breathtaking mountain vistas I’ve ever laid eyes on. From various viewing points, you can capture the towns below and the railroads. There are multiple vantage points that offer a panoramic view of the valley, the mountain, and the bridge itself, where you’ll be standing. However, note that the site requires walking up and down, which can be challenging for those with mobility issues. Additionally, you’ll need some stamina to navigate the stairs. If you’re driving by, I highly recommend making a stop at this place.

Spectacular Views and Unreal Scenery — A Must-See Bastei is absolutely breathtaking—one of the most stunning natural landscapes we’ve seen in Germany. The dramatic rock formations, sweeping views over the Elbe River, and the iconic Bastei Bridge make this spot feel straight out of a fantasy film. Everything is well-maintained, with scenic walking paths and multiple viewpoints that are easy to reach on foot. We visited in May, and the conditions were perfect—fresh greenery, pleasant temperatures, and lighter crowds. The area is suitable for all ages, though some light uphill walking and stairs are involved. Tips for your visit: 📍 Entry to the Bastei Bridge and viewpoints is free. The Felsenburg Neurathen ruins cost a few euros extra. 🕰️ Go early in the day or late afternoon to enjoy the views with fewer crowds. 🚗 Parking is €7 flat for the whole day, and you can easily pay using the EasyPark app, which works great and saves time. 👟 Wear comfortable walking shoes—parking is about a 15-minute scenic uphill walk from the main site. 📸 Don’t forget your camera—sunrise or sunset light makes the views even more magical. 🥪 There’s a restaurant near the main viewpoint, but if you plan to hike farther, bring snacks and water. Whether you're into hiking, nature photography, or simply soaking up jaw-dropping views, Bastei is a must-visit gem in Saxon Switzerland.

Bastei Bridge is an absolutely stunning place to visit – around 4.5 hours from Berlin and quite easy to reach. The bridge, originally built in the mid-19th century (1851), offers some of the best panoramic views in the region. You can see the river and surrounding rock formations from the top – it’s truly breathtaking. It is a popular spot, so expect crowds, especially during peak times. If you’re not up for hiking, there’s also a bus that can take you very close to the site, which is convenient. Nearby, we found a lovely place that served excellent local beer – the Dunkel beer was a highlight and definitely worth trying! Highly recommended for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone who enjoys scenic landscapes with a touch of history.

The Bastei is a stunning rock formation towering above the Elbe River in Saxon Switzerland, Germany. Famous for its breathtaking views and unique sandstone bridges, it’s a favorite spot for hiking and photography. Visiting the Bastei feels like exploring a natural fortress shaped by centuries of wind and water.

Theresienstadt concentration camp

Mentioned on 
15 lists 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Theresienstadt concentration camp, also known as Terezin, was originally a garrison town turned into a Jewish ghetto and concentration camp during the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia. The fortress walls contained over 150,000 Jews from various countries. Visitors can explore the Great Fortress and Small Fortress on guided tours to learn about the harrowing history of this place. It's a somber experience that offers insight into the suffering and loss endured by countless families during that time.
It's not a place you want to star rate, but it has been well preserved and open to the public to recount, in a small way, the abhorrent conditions the Czech Jews had to endure. Important for as many people to visit and appreciate that this must never happen again.

Really sad to get to know the past and how was life or surviving in a place like this, the entrance was about 10€ per person, there are toilets for free inside, don't miss the cinema, it shows a movie of about 20 minutes where you can get most of the information and history for free as well and it was translated in English.

If you’re planning a visit to the Terezín Memorial, I highly recommend making an online reservation in advance. While there are a few basic informational signs scattered around the site, most of the historical context and stories require a guided explanation to truly understand the significance of what you're seeing. The admission ticket includes a guided tour, but you must book it online beforehand through their official website. Several language options are available, making it accessible for international visitors. There is a small kiosk within the site that offers vending machines, and the town has a few grocery stores. However, it’s a good idea to bring your own light meal and drinking water for the visit, as options on-site are limited. Also, make sure to set aside time to visit the other museums in town. The ticket to the concentration camp also grants you access to several important museums in the town of Terezín, and they are absolutely worth seeing. These museums provide essential context and help paint a fuller picture of the site's history.

My nephew as me about Auschwitz when we were in Germany so we drove there the following week. As I read on the Internet that we need to reserve as we won’t get in, that was false, the free entrance are limited and need to be reserved but the tour in your language happens every couple hours or so and with many language, of it is 70€ but to really get the feeling and understanding of the place, I think you need the guided tour. Our guide was not that enthusiastic but I guess this is in their mantra. Her English was good for conversation but maybe a bit lacking for this kind of guiding but this did not bother the group I was in. For some reason I was expecting more from what everyone I know who have been there where telling me about the feeling and all but maybe I just been to too many of similar place when I was in the military… definitely recommend to go there with your younger members of the family so that we never forget and don’t let the Israelis repeat the same thing now with the Palestinians

A must visit, worth the day trip from Prague. We booked the tour online in advance but they didn’t even check the reservation. The guided tour was nice, if you don’t do it I’m not sure how you’d get information on the buildings as there is very little signage. They do run 4 or 5 tours at the same time, just in different languages. This means it’s quite crowded. It would be better if they staggered the times. They offer tours in many languages, and your entrance ticket here works in numerous other sights throughout the town as well.

Karlštejn Castle, founded in 1348 by Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor-elect and the King of Bohemia, is a stunning Gothic castle located in Central Bohemia. It holds great historical significance as it houses the Imperial Regalia, Bohemian/Czech crown jewels, relics, and other important items. The castle has undergone various reconstructions and architectural style changes over the centuries.
Love this castle! Went with some family friends when visiting the Czech Republic to visit family. I’ve been in the past as a little kid also and I always love it. It’s beautiful and so fun to explore, really takes you back in time. I recommend if you’re visiting the Czech Republic or a resident! There are also nice walks nearby which I do recommend.

A really beautiful and lovely medieval castle with a rich history. It is quite a walk uphill from the train station or the car park, but it is definitely worth it: the castle is just amazing. You can visit the courtyard for free, but you can enter the castle only with the guided tour. I recommend to buy the tickets in advance, as it is likely they will sell out at least in peak season.

Tour of CZK300 per person for Charles IV apartment, went on November weekend but wasn’t too crowded (was able to get tickets upon arrival for a tour starting in 10 min). Note chapel is closed in winter and that’s the main attraction here. The tour wasn’t very informative about the history and felt a little rushed - would be okay to skip. The view of castle is very nice on the walk up from village and castle grounds are quite nice too (even the free accessible parts). Took about 45 min-1 hour each way from Prague + 30 min walking between village and castle.

Nice castle. You can take the train S7 from Prague main station to this castle. Which runs every 30 minutes during most of the day. The train station is just a 7 minute walk from the beautiful high street of the tiny town, with many f&b option. The street then leads to the steep incline to the castle, and it’s a 10 minute walk - lots of children make it up as well - so shouldn’t be an issue. The views from the castle are brilliant. There is a short 5 minute video with English subtitles being played in a small room below the visitor center and it is interesting. Recommended…!

First time doing a level 3 tour (small group of 6, all family members) that allowed us to see the castle in its entirety and on much more personal level. It was about 3 hours long. We had tickets bought in advance, online, no wait to get in.

I loved Karlštejn. The castle has an amazing history. Yours are both in English and in Czech. All the staff at the castle was super friendly and we even made friends with the local blacksmith. We had a really lovely time and highly recommend the castle as just outside of Prague adventure.

There is designated paid parking and transport at a cost up to the castle. Although steep at times you can walk through the town and shops up to the castle, we drove up and walked down. There are various guided tours with different sections of the castle. Book in advance to plan your trip if you want to do more than one tour. More shops operate during peak season in summer. A few shops where open, October. Would recommend the Snack Place for something to eat and drink, with a view of the castle and the Antique shop. We did the basic tour.

One of the national treasures of the Czech Republic this iconic castle is definitely worth a visit. The castle founded around 1347 is set in the picturesque scenery of mountains and the Berounka river and it is linked with the emperor Charles IV. There are several visiting tours to choose from. The tickets can be bought online. If you have the possibility, make sure to choose the tour including the castle's chapels. The breathtaking gilded interior of the St. Cross Chapel is absolutely amazing.

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
St. Vitus Cathedral is a Gothic masterpiece and a resting place for saints like Vitus, Wenceslas, and Adalbert. It's part of the Prague Castle district, a UNESCO World Heritage site with a mix of architectural styles. The cathedral features twin towers and houses the tomb of St. Wenceslas and the crown jewels. Visitors can also admire gurning gargoyles and stunning stained-glass windows, including one by artist Alfons Mucha.
I didnt actually go on a tour but I went up to the castle a vigorous but doable walk for a senior. The castle and surroundings are amazing and definitely worth the trip. The tour would probably be even better. Every hour on the hour they change the guard. Its a great show. Prague is the most beautiful city I've seen and the Castle was the topping on the cake
Dave M — Google review
St. Vitus Cathedral is truly a masterpiece and one of the most breathtaking landmarks I have ever visited. The moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by incredible Gothic architecture, beautiful stained-glass windows, and a sense of history that fills every corner of the cathedral. It’s located within Prague Castle, which makes the visit even more special since you can explore the entire castle complex at the same time. Getting in was surprisingly easy there was no waiting line, and the entry process was smooth and well organized. The details in the interior are stunning; every column, sculpture, and window tells a story. The atmosphere inside is peaceful and awe inspiring, especially when sunlight passes through the colorful glass. If you’re visiting Prague, St. Vitus Cathedral is an absolute must-see. It’s not only a symbol of the city’s rich history but also one of the most impressive examples of Gothic architecture in Europe.

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

High above Prague towers St. Vitus Cathedral, the largest Gothic church in the Czech Republic, mausoleum for the Bohemian kings, and repository of the Bohemian crown jewels. The history of this imposing structure begins around 930, when Duke Wenceslaus I commissioned the construction of a Romanesque rotunda to house a relic, an arm, of St. Vitus. The presence of this relic contributed to the conversion of the local population to Christianity. This proved successful, as in 1060 Prince Spytihněv II decided to commission a new, larger Romanesque basilica to replace the rotunda. The new basilica also housed the tomb of Duke Wenceslaus I, who had since been canonized. After the Bishop of Prague was elevated to archbishop, King John the Blind laid the foundation stone for the current Gothic cathedral on November 21, 1344. Ultimately, the cathedral took 585 years to build (in phases), and it wasn't officially consecrated until 1929. This exceptionally long construction period certainly paid off. The building is 124 meters long, 34 meters high, and has three towers; the large south tower rises another 11 meters above the two 88-meter-high west towers. The most noteworthy elements of the interior are the magnificent stained-glass windows, several of which were designed by Alphonse Mucha. There are also the royal tombs: Charles IV, Rudolf II, Ferdinand I, and Maximilian II (all King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor) are buried in the cathedral. Furthermore, the Bohemian Crown Jewels (including the Crown of Saint Wenceslas) have been kept here since 1791. These are rarely shown to the public (replicas are on display in the Royal Palace). So, there's more than enough to admire in St. Vitus Cathedral!
Koen — Google review
2025-October St. Vitus Cathedral is gothically beautiful and definitely worth a visit while exploring Prague Castle. The stained-glass windows and Gothic details are impressive, and the size of the cathedral adds to its grandeur. However, having seen cathedrals in Rome and Madrid, I’d say St. Vitus doesn’t quite reach that same level of awe. It’s still remarkable, but it felt more like a historical landmark than a deeply moving experience. Still, it’s one of the top highlights within the Prague Castle complex and absolutely worth seeing.
Cindy R — Google review
I was amazed by St. Vitus Cathedral, the largest and most important cathedral in the Czech Republic. Words cannot describe the cathedral's size; just walking around it takes minutes. The cathedral's interior is truly stunning. There's a large main altar, several smaller altars, and wonderful historical sculptures and paintings on the walls. The cathedral is only open from 12:00 to 15:40, and it gets incredibly crowded. Don't leave Prague without visiting this cathedral.

Architecture is nothing less than insane. There is no picture I can show that will justify how beautiful this place is. If you go during the day, I highly recommend you revisit after dark when it the lights are on. Note, I didn't go inside, but I have heard it's great. In that case you will need to buy a ticket
Dan R — Google review
A marvelleous piece of medieval church architechture and a huge and beautiful cathedral. Really impressive. The big negative side was, that the church was overful with people - and it wasn't even high season. It was impossible to truly enjoy the church, when the place was so packed that you felt like being sardines in a tin. Feels like the oversell tickets - entrance should be more regulated. But still amazing!

Prague Castle is a sprawling complex that showcases a mix of architectural styles, from Romanesque to Gothic and even 20th-century designs. As the primary attraction in the Czech Republic, it holds significant historical and symbolic importance. Serving as the seat of Czech sovereigns since ancient times and later as the residence for Czech presidents, this expansive site includes various structures such as the Cathedral of saints Vit, Vaclav and Vojtech, noble palaces, a convent, and more.
Visiting Prague Castle was an absolutely exceptional experience . The entire complex is filled with incredible history beautiful architecture and a magical atmosphere. Walking through the courtyards exploring the old buildings and seeing St Vitus Cathedral up close was truly fascinating. From the top areas the panoramic views of Prague are breathtaking especially at sunset. Everything was well organized and the area was clean and lively with street musicians and local vendors. Definitely one of the most impressive and unforgettable places to visit in Prague. I also took some amazing photos that perfectly captured the charm of this place.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Charles Bridge

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Charles Bridge is a historic stone bridge that connects Prague's Old and New Towns. It is known for its lively atmosphere with street artists and entertainers. The bridge offers majestic views of iconic landmarks such as the Dancing House, Petrin Tower, and the historic fort of Vysehrad. Nearby attractions include the famous Prague Castle, which consists of multiple sections including St. Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace, St. George's Basilica, and more.
It’s definitely a must visit spot no matter how many people there are. Feel the vibe of the excitement of the crowd and the splendid historic beauty. You have to be there at different timing though, in the morning, in the evening, on the rainy day and a beautiful day. And different angles, on the bridge, from the top of the tower and on the boat. It’s never enough.
Wen — Google review
Took these photos during my day trip to Prague on 2022 mid Dec. A wonderful site walk to the castle back to the train station. Love the history sites. The Charles Bridge is Prague's iconic medieval stone bridge, built from 1357 to 1402 under the auspices of King Charles IV to replace the flood-destroyed Judith Bridge. Connecting the Old Town with the Lesser Town across the Vltava River, the Gothic structure was the city's only river crossing for centuries, making it a crucial trade and procession route. Originally known as the Stone Bridge, it was officially renamed the Charles Bridge in 1870. A defining feature is the continuous alley of 30 Baroque statues and sculptures of saints that adorn its length, added mainly in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Most are now replicas, with the originals preserved in a museum, though they retain the bridge's mystical aura. The most famous statue commemorates St. John of Nepomuk, who legend says was martyred by being thrown from the bridge. Since 1965, the bridge has been pedestrian-only, transforming it into a vibrant hub for artists and musicians. It is a quintessential Prague experience, offering panoramic views of the city, including the majestic Prague Castle.

This was the first place I visited when I arrived in Prague. The bridge was much less crowded than usual, but there were still a lot of tourists. It was extremely foggy, so nothing was visible. After sunrise, the views were incredibly beautiful. I recommend going just before sunrise, especially if you want to take beautiful photos. The bridge gets extremely crowded around noon. There are 30 Baroque statues on the bridge. This bridge will be one of your favorite places in Prague.
Ruslan M — Google review
Must see at sunset or at night I recommend. Beautiful unique statues all along both sides with great views of the city on both sides of the river. Pretty crowded but not any problem. You can pay for a ticket in the tower on the east side once you climb up several levels that will get you to the top for cool views of the bridge.
Joe B — Google review
One of the most beautiful bridges in the world, the key is to come here early in the morning around 5:30/6 am when the sun is slowly rising. There’s a lot less tourists and people so you can take some great photos and really take in the scenery. It gets extremely crowded in the afternoon onwards. All of the statues and history of the bridge truly are mesmerizing, this is a must visit if in Prague.
Connor — Google review
This bridge features amazing architecture, statues, river views and medieval era feel! Go early or late in the day if you want to avoid tourist jams. Don’t miss the Old Town Tower and stairs to the top at the east end of the bridge👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

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

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

Staroměstská radnice, also known as the Old Town Hall, is a renowned Gothic 14th-century building located on the Old Town Square in Prague. One of its main attractions is the intricate astronomical clock that draws hundreds of visitors throughout the day. The clock features mechanical figures and a show that includes a skeleton tolling a death knell, apostles promenading by, and a screeching cockerel as the hour strikes.
The Old Town Hall in Prague is one of the city’s most beautiful historical landmarks. Its main attraction is the famous Astronomical Clock, which draws crowds of tourists every hour. Climbing the tower is definitely worth it – it offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Prague’s red rooftops, Old Town Square, and the Vltava River. The historic atmosphere of the building and its well-preserved interiors make the experience even more special. If you visit Prague, don’t miss this iconic sight!

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

The Old Town Hall is one of the main sights of Prague. It dominates the impressive and beautiful Old Town Square.

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

You do not have to buy a tour to climb (or ride the elevator) up the astronomical clock tower. You are able to go to their ticket booth and buy a ticket, possibly even at a discounted price if you’re there just as they open. I’m so glad our walking tour guide from the day before told us this! All of the ”guided tour” tickets were either sold out or did not work with our schedule, so having this information allowed us to experience this historical clock tower. There are two interior elevators, the first one everyone can take, the second one is for those who paid for elevator tickets. The second elevator is a circular glass elevator that will take you to the top of where you can go. Otherwise, you walk up steps and ramps. The view is beautiful, even if you have gone up other towers in the area. Apparently, Prague is known as “the city of a hundred spires!” This one is definitely worth visiting!
Kat F — Google review
A symbol of the Czech Republic, an object of national cultural heritage, a symbol of the history of Prague and the oldest institution of Czech self-government. At the end of World War II, its dungeons became the centre of the Prague Uprising against Nazism, and the town hall was almost completely destroyed by shelling. Even the bell from 1313 was not preserved, and the altar of the Chapel of the Virgin Mary was also seriously damaged. However, the people of Prague have restored their national treasure, and today you too can enjoy the Old Town Astronomical Clock with its depiction of the procession of the twelve apostles, the grandeur of the state rooms, the elegance of the Chapel of the Virgin Mary and the mysterious Romanesque-Gothic dungeon. Be sure to take our space elevator to the top of the Town Hall Tower for a stunning view of all of Prague.

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

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

The most beautiful and historical centre of Prague! The astronomical clock, St. Nicholas church, church of our lady and other historical buildings are located around the square.

The State Chateau of Hluboká, located in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, has a rich history dating back to the 13th century. Originally a royal castle, it now stands as one of the most stunning castles in Europe. The interior boasts intricate woodwork, gold ceilings adorned with rare painted flowers, canvas wall paintings by French artists, and stained glass from Swiss churches. The library is particularly noteworthy.
This is a truly beautiful castle/palace to visit! You can go inside or just walk around it and visit the gardens (that’s free). We came on Monday, so we couldn’t go inside, but we walked outside and loved this place! The castle itself looks really cute! Don’t forget to go around it! And don’t forget to visit the garden on the right side. It is also beautiful and has really old trees that are huge! You can’t park your car anywhere near, you will need to park below the hill and walk up about 500m. There is also a nice place to eat not far from there!

The biggest and most wonderful castle in Czech Republic. In a country with more than 2000 castles, this one surpasses them all in terms of interiors and architectural style. It is also well furnished. You can go up on foot, or by a little train, from the parking, if you want some fun.

Hluboká Castle is an absolutely stunning neo-Gothic chateau that feels like something out of a fairytale. Surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens and perched above the Vltava River, the setting is breathtaking. The interiors are richly decorated, showcasing exquisite woodwork, historic furnishings, and artwork that reflect the grandeur of the Schwarzenberg family who once lived here. It's unfortunate that photography is not allowed inside, as the rooms are truly impressive and worth remembering. Still, the guided tour provides fascinating insights, and the castle itself is a must-visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, or just a beautiful .

The exterior, inspired by Windsor Castle, is immaculate and the white architecture against the backdrop of the park is simply breathtaking. The Interior Tour: I highly recommend taking a guided tour to see the luxurious interiors. The rooms are a magnificent display of aristocratic wealth—from the intricate wood carving and grand staircases to the priceless art and Murano chandeliers. A real journey into the 19th-century noble life. Grounds: The surrounding English Park and gardens are massive and perfect for a relaxing stroll, offering different beautiful views of the chateau from every angle. Tip: Be aware that photography is usually forbidden inside the castle, but the outside views make up for it! Get there early or book your tour tickets online, as it is very popular. A must-see in South Bohemia!

A beautifully maintained 13th century Neo Gothic Chateau in South Bomehia overlooking the forests, town and Vltara River. All the rooms have been preserved to their original state. It was considered a hunting retreat for the royal families so if you're a big animal lover this one may not be for you as all the open rooms are adorned with many many animal trophies. It was considered very modern in its time as they had electricity and modern toilets as far back as the 1920's. Its huge and beautifully architectured and maintained. Worth a visit

Visited the fairy-tale beauty of Hluboká Castle (Hluboká nad Vltavou), one of the most stunning castles in the Czech Republic. Located near České Budějovice in South Bohemia, this neo-Gothic masterpiece is often compared to Windsor Castle in England. With its breathtaking architecture, beautiful gardens, and rich history, Hluboká is a must-visit destination for travelers exploring Europe.

Worth the detour this is a gorgeous unique castle with ties to powerful families in Europe. In October it was off season so two wings were closed to the public and since it was raining so was the tower. Leaving only one wing to visit which was unfortunate. You can also only visit with a guided tour, our guide was funny and knowledgeable. Would recommend!

St Barbara's Church

St. Barbara's Cathedral is a stunning example of Gothic architecture located in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic. The cathedral, with its sharp spines and flying buttresses, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most well-preserved churches in Central Europe. It was built between 1257 and 1281 and boasts five naves. The construction began in 1388 but wasn't completed until the early twentieth century. St.
Stepped into St Barbara’s on a bright morning and was immediately floored by that soaring Gothic nave—ribbed vaults twisting overhead like frozen webs. Sunlight streamed through vibrant stained glass, casting kaleidoscopic patterns onto centuries-old stone. Knowing it took over 500 years to complete—and that it was built by miners to rival Prague—makes every gargoyle, flying buttress, and delicate fresco feel like a statement of pride. Climbing up to peek at the exterior ribs and slender buttresses from inside was an unexpected highlight—architecture turned up close

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sedlec Ossuary, also known as the 'Bone Church,' is a small Gothic chapel located beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic. It is adorned with garlands of human skulls, a bone chandelier, and chalices made from the bones of over 40,000 individuals. This macabre yet captivating site attracts visitors worldwide who are eager to witness its unique artistry and contemplate mortality.
Interesting and unsettling historic site. The information and videos about the restoration work makes you appreciate the dedication and craftsmanship of the people involved in creating the Ossuary and now ensuring the site is kept safe is really impressive.

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

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

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

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

Gorgeous but small ossuary. I'd give it five stars if it was allowed to tak pictures. I'd just like to have memory of my visit, respectfully.
Daphne — Google review
Unfriendly staff. There is no ticket office at the location. There is no explanation of the history of the place. High price. Half of the place is well kept, the other half is ”ongoing”. Place serves it purpose: you get the immediate vibes of looking at real bones of thousands of people. You have to be into it to enjoy the experience. I didn’t. Would not recommend.

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