Very large memorial site with excellent bookshop, holding titles in 4 languages. The guided tour is worth the small price and is preceded by a 30min documentary giving an overview of the camps history and including survivors memories. Visiting this and the Topf & Sons – Builders of the Auschwitz Ovens Place of Remembrance in Erfurt is well worth it. Give yourself at least half a day, the site is huge and mostly outdoors. The cafe may be closed without notice.

Everyone needs to see this. I really recommend doing the guided tour as you would never get as much information with the audio guide. A big shout-out to our young guide, who does this beside her studies. She had a very nice voice, was not to emotional and tried to answer every question.

Just like beautiful places in a country i believe visiting places like this is also in the package of visiting and exploring a country. Its heartbreaking especially the crematorium which i started my visit from, It was devastating knowing what people in here have been through and on what historical we are stepping . I recommend visiting Buchenwald .The presentation is clear and engaging.just make sure you are mentally ready and u have some water and food with you .

An overwhelming experience but still very educational

Memorials like this must be preserved as a warning to mankind of how man can turn towards man. This camp is worth visiting also for the excellent museum. If you take a tour guide you will be able to enter the crematorium and get excellent descriptions, moreover all over the remains of the camp there are plaques and photos. Go to the end of the camp where, hidden in the grass and vegetation, there are hundreds of remains of kitchenware, which are as shocking as the rest, but perhaps the most shocking element of this camp are the remains of a zoo for the SS families, just in front of the crematorium, just another metaphor of how blind people can become if not able to think for themselves. Practical information for visiting: there is a parking and a little cafeteria.

Impressive to visit, unfortunately not all buildings are enterable. The scale of the place is breathtaking and the crematorium is the place that makes you want to hold your breath as you cannot image the horrors that took place in Buchenwald.

A good designed memorial. Reminds how far the human cruelty can go. Sad, but a must-go-place to refresh the history in the mind. We had a great tour guide (her name is Franziska, i guess) even answered the most "stupid" or "easy" questions and explained every detail. I appreciated.

Lovely memorial to the nearby concentration camp. Its very GDR inspired, grand. Think bas reliefs. If you go, you'll probably be the only visitor, as most skip it and head straight to the camp. However, you should visit as there is some important events that happened there also, namely big graveyard pits. It offers a nice view over the surroundings also. Parking lot about 100 meters away.

I didn't spend much time in the concentration camp itself (it is a concentration camp) but the memorial is fantastic, huge and worthy of spending time and investigating fully. I enjoyed cycling around the surrounding areas too.

Massive memorial to those who suffered in the Buchenwald Concentration camp. This memorial is massive in size. Very well done.

The size and scale of this exhibit say it all. The blank walls with no names too. But I feel some sort of info is needed, war stats. There are 3 mass graves, are these the 3 actual sites, estimating how many, why ,etc.

This was a reminder of the atrocities that can happen when those who have voices choose to remain silent. Such a great memorial to symbolize and honor those who died and survived the concentration camp. May history never repeat itself.

It makes the heart heavy to know what has happened here. I feel that the tower stands as a symbol of pain faced by people back then, the struggle for freedom, end of an painful era. I think everyone around has to visit it once to know how fortunate are we to live in such a peaceful environment now.

This place is huge to visit and impressive, just as the crimes it stands for. The contrast between the beauty and the peace of the area and the horror it represents is breathtaking.

Love it! Studied art history, but learned so much more about Bauhaus. It is still relevant, and inspiring. A pity it only existed for a short period of time, although the influence remains.

The Bauhaus Museum Weimar is all about the history and cultural background of Weimar and the Bauhaus movement. If you’re interested in history or want to learn more about how design and architecture developed here, this museum is definitely worth a visit. Personally, I’m not really a history-loving person, but after visiting this museum, I got to learn a lot about Weimar’s past and its importance in art and design. It was an interesting and educational experience overall!

A fantastic museum set in the heart of Weimar. We finished our weekend with a visit to this museum and were not disappointed. The building itself is a great modern block designed to house the collection of original pieces and to tell the story the Bauhaus school. There are three floors in total to see and also a basement level which includes a café and doors out into the park below. I would recommend it to everyone who wants to learn more about Bauhaus or has an interest in design/art.

The museum is a bit overrated, but still five stars, because if you are in Weimar, you should spend a few hours there. The work of the Bauhaus was formative for various aspects from graphic design to the design of furniture, kitchens and housing estates.

Another great Bauhaus Museum. Possibly not quite as impressive as the one in Dessau but nevertheless a fitting tribute to the early years of the Bauhaus School when it was located in Weimar from 1919.

I think the museum was fine. I personally don't think it's the most exciting art, but it was presented nicely and explained well. My main complaint is that one of the ladies downstairs was super rude to me for wanting to bring a small water bottle inside the museum on a hot day. I'm totally fine with not bringing water, but it must be possible to treat people nicely when telling them they have to put their water bottle in the locker.

The Bauhaus Museum in Weimar is an absolute gem for anyone interested in modern design and architecture. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, showcasing the pioneering works of the Bauhaus movement in a way that is both informative and inspiring. The museum's architecture itself is a nod to the movement's principles, with its clean lines and functional design. The staff are knowledgeable and welcoming, adding to the overall excellent experience. Whether you're a design enthusiast or just curious about the history of modern art, this museum is a must-visit. A true highlight of Weimar! PS. The VR ( Virtual reality) tour ( free of charge) on the basement is highly recommend! Thanks a lot to the team of the museum.

It's a nice shopping mall with a balanced variety of shops, it's spacious yet compact and you can easily access the stairs

A very praktical Kaufzentrum that you can find near every thing from restaurant, supermarket, Apotheke, and many other services even cinema and bowling center and over all you can park your car foe one hour in garage free. I would recommend it for visitors and for all living in Weimar. Love it.

Very nice view in the summer of course for cup caffe and ice cream .

The parking lot was convenient – I can easily find empty slot and park easily. It was a nice and clean building. The toilet was also clean. This mall has many of my needs such as groceries, fashion, electronics, restaurants etc. Hey they have bank also down on the ground floor.

I'm not a big fan of Malls but it's ok to have one in close proximity. There are many stores inside, all with good quality products, and very friendly and helpful staff. Ideal for a bit of window shopping 😜

Everything is sorted and superior. Only thing is that they have to convey few things in english (i know its a Deutschland) because there are many tourists and new students who suffer the linguistic shock many of a time. But overall a worth of a place

To be honest I didn't spend hours and hours in the mall, but that wasn't neccessary to notice the unfriendly, arrogant and aggresive workers at the Aldi Market. Not only did the woman in question insult me right in my face with racist comments, furthermore she read personal information of my friend's ID. This was truly unproffesional behaviour and thus I can not give the total a good rating. At best the other employees were pretty normal and not too irritating.

Excellent food, own beers, lovely atmosphere, nice people around! I tried Weimarer Zwiebelfleisch and all sorts of own brewed beer. Meet itself was a bit too much salted, but still perfectly cooked. Salad and Klöse - all perfect 👍🏼 great place

Best Thuringian food (and beer) I have had, it was extremely tasty. The waiter was exceptionally attentive. I fully recommend this place.

Most restaurants in this part of Germany that serve local dishes use too much salt in them. Not this place. Here they serve great tasting dishes and, not the smallest accomplishment, they have the best hefe weizen beer i’ve ever tasted: Siechn Weimarer. Go there, try it and you will be convinced. To make it even easier. This place is just one block away from the massive parking of the Weimar Atrium.

Only accepts cash, ungirendly waiter rolling eyes, only 1 menu for 2 people

The food and beer were first rate but what stands out is the service extended to two weary foreigners. I believe it was the owner or manager who took care of us. He and his place are outstanding.

Very tasty, good atmosphere and friendly service

Had a lovely inexpensive meal of ribs (german style)!

The food is great but the chef unfortunately is very annoying. He is scaring away his customers by trying to make a "show" or being extra "nice" and "funny" or "easy cool" when really you just want to eat your food quietly and spend time with your date. Dear chef please stay in the kitchen, this is where you can shine. Very unfortunately

Highly recommended: this tiny but great place is where once you have one of the delicous burgers , you are bound to talk about it at least, and I am sure a second spontaneous visit here would always be nice. located nearly in the center of Weimar we loved the startes in an indian tasteful way and especially the Burgers . Coffee is also a worth to taste and the espresso is great. Recommended! A+

Great restaurant, sensational cuisine and excellent service. #1 restaurant in Weimar and even Thuringia. Friendly service from the staff and even the boss welcomes you personally. If you want to treat yourself well, then LAVA is a must do!

Overrated place. Olives felt really cheap like Ja! brand. Nothing interesting to taste.

Really nice dinner while visiting Weimar. Super accommodating and great varied menu options.

We found the restaurant overpriced for food that was undercooked. There was only 1 option for vegetarians: a pasta. A good vegetarian burger would fit better with the rest of the menu.

Really nice place where to eat. High quality food, exotic meat and awesome beer! The workers really care about allergies if you have some, like lactose, gluten...

I‘m an Aussie and I love a good flat white. This is the best coffee I’ve had in all of Germany over the last 10 years, and I’m not exaggerating! Smooth froth, strong, tasteful, and even lovely latte art on top. The baked goods were delicious too! I only wish I lived in Weimar so I could give these people my money more regularly.

This was one of my favorite places to go for a coffee when I was living in Weimar. They have the best Zimtknuts and a very friendly staff. Sitting outside in the summer, enjoying your cup of coffee and the sun was always so nice 🌞

🌟 Brotklappe – A Hidden Gem in Weimar That Feels Like France 🇫🇷🥐 We’ve lost count of how many times we’ve visited Brotklappe – and for good reason. Every time something makes me feel happy or deserves a little celebration, this is the first place that comes to mind. It’s not just a bakery; it’s an experience. From the perfectly flaky croissants to the rich, flavorful sourdough and the deliciously herby focaccia, everything here tastes like it was lifted straight out of a Parisian boulangerie. Honestly, aside from Bordeaux and Paris, I haven’t found croissants this good anywhere else in Germany. There’s a certain magic to this place – the kind that makes you slow down, breathe in the aroma of fresh bread, and just smile. I truly love Brotklappe from the heart. It’s more than just a bakery to me – it’s a ritual, a little slice of joy. *If you find almond croissant, Just buy that. It was not available today but that's dman good one here!

Simply fantastic. We absolutely loved it. I lived in Weimar for quite some years and when we visited I had to go there immediately. I have to say it's even better than in the beginning. The buns, the croissants, the focaccia, coffee, chai latte... All extraordinary. The prices are a little bit higher than usual in Weimar, but they explain it very well in the shop and for the quality, it's absolutely worth it

Love this place for its cozy atmosphere and delicious rye brownies or cinnamon zimtknut and mini Babka. Only down side is the stools are uncomfortable and not suitable for lengthy visits.

A fine example of German bread culture. All of their breads and the spreads are amazing. Great quality. Vegan friendly options. A little pricey but worth the money. If you want coffee to go then prepare to have your own flask / mug or you need to buy refundable mug from there. And because of its popularity it’s very busy. Prepare to stand in line.

Nice place to have a break with an oat milk cappuccino and mohnschnecke (vegan) or banana bread (not vegan) while watching the street and people passing by. Recently they started having brunch and it is super tasty, so now it is a great spot for a meal too! I recommend the brunch burger. Also good to know that everything is bio and that it is a local business :)

This park is very big and beautiful! Perfect place for a picnic or a walk, spending time with friends or on your own with a book. It’s also very pleasant to ride a bike here. The stone bridge and the view on the castle are my personal favorites in this park.

The park is wide and wonderful. There is a lot of nature, of wild animals and it is well-kept. There was a nice local food stand by the bridge and, most importantly, you could lose yourself in the green around. Only negative thing was a lack of WC facilities.

It's good place to enjoy nature in Weimar. Cool, calm, peaceful and a place where you can be stress free.

Relaxing environment. Well maintained.

A big park with small river running along the side with just a few mins walk to city Center. Beautiful and peaceful with interesting spots to check out. Should be even more beautiful and refreshing in Sommer. We love it there.

It was a very nice park. There are statues and different structures in every corner. I liked to have a really long walk around the river Ilm.

Nice park to relax or walk/cycle. Nothing spectaculair about it but it is pretty. Not very clean on some places and doesn't look very maintained.

It was great experience. For a moment one can feel the style and routine of old time

Interesting place from history. Very big and give many interesting information inside. In 2026 , they will close for the renovation so when you have a chance. Try it :) ticket costs 13 Euro in 2025

The Goethe museum costs pp € 13 pp. The Wohnung was to us the most interesting part. The other part of the museum contains many objects owned by Goethe among which several portraits. That part of the museum is definitely interesting but also has a somewhat hagiographic nature.

I really enjoyed this experience, especially having the app to lead you through the house was amazing. Genius to have it play when you hold your phone up to your ear! Also, the backyard was extremely beautiful and it really made you feel like you walked in the same house as Goethe, it was beautiful.

Goethe's House, or Goethes Wohnhaus, is a captivating museum that offers an in-depth look into the life of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The museum provides comprehensive insights into Goethe's personal and professional life, with well-curated exhibits that include original manuscripts, personal belongings, and detailed descriptions of his contributions to literature and science. The historical ambiance of the house, combined with the extensive information provided, makes it an enriching experience for visitors. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in German literature and the life of one of its most influential figures.

Very interesting life and he had a big house with many different rooms with specific purposes. Take the audioguide for sure, which is included in the ticket price. 1:30 to 3:00 to complete it depending how fast you go.

Amazing insights into the life of Goethe. Such a beautiful and inspiring space. Well presented and updated with video installations and the incredible wealth of the attached museum.

I found the place closed the day I had the time to visit and not even the beautiful garden was accessible. What a pity...

I am giving 3 stars because: There weren't info about where the entrance was and about the house visit, it took a bit to understand where it was. About the location, initially was difficult to understand what to expect beyond the door, we went isnide and was the same. The cost to get into is pretty high compared to waht you can see and the garden pretty sad, nothing special ! People workign there are very kind !

Audio guide was minimal. Not worth the 7€. Skip it and enjoy the Ilm Park.

Goethes Gartenhaus ist located in a wide park in the greens. Its a really relaxing place with a lot of trees like a park should be. Sad that they want entry for visiting the small house. Close by is a small river too. Everywhere in this park there are different cultural objects hidden like the Gartenhaus or a Shakespeare statue. I can recommend to spend some time there!

Interesting place to see where Goethe worked and relaxed

beautiful and historical, if you are in weimar I totally recommend to visit this, the nature around the house is also very beautiful

Amazing! A must-see in Weimar. Lovely Garden. Interesting Audio-Tour. With 7 Euros per person a bit overpriced.

A lot of what you see here has been incorporated into our homes. It’s interesting to see how these Bauhaus design ideas have transformed the way we live 100 years later.

Excellent and very insightfull example od Bauhaus movement design.

Worth visiting. We walked to the Music Academy, Pushkin monument and turned left to the Ilm Park and than reached Haus Am Horn. Personally fore me, It was stunning to see how Bauhaus School set a trend for such homes shortly after the First World War.

Visited in July, I found it very interesting and worth to visit but a bit overpriced. Quick to visit, few explicatory panels, small house.

I am really disappointed with this place. Very unfriendly staff who made me pay the full ticket only because I forgot my student card ( you could obviously see that I was a student). I had been travelling for ten days in Germany and unluckily forgot my student card at home, but all the places I have visited were very understanding and believed me. The price of the ticket (4,50 euro) wasn't worth the visit of the house. Five small rooms (kitchen, bedrooms, livingroom) all connected with each other and a small garden with some vegetables. Very few descriptions that you could easily read on the internet without paying the entry. The visit lasts from five to ten minutes maximum including reading the explanations. I highly do not recommend this place: Weimar has much better to offer.

A wonderful model or prototype assembly of Bauhaus design, from architecture to furniture, then a modern life. Especially, the gentleman who can speak some Chinese as well at the recepiton was very helpful with the information of ticket and other sites worth visiting in Weimar, and very friendly.

It's interesting to see this hause. It's one of the design history. Even it looks not super good inside now, but still nice for me.

Very interesting museum, sadly it's in German only unless you use an audio guide. So if you don't like using audio guides you're stuck with German.

Must See in Weimar.

Didn't liken it as much as Anna Amalia Bibliothek or Goethe museum but important to visit none the less if you are into German literature and poetry etc.

Beautiful place that Schiller was lived. Highly recommend to come, espescially with kids

The audio guide is very informative and art exhibition was very interesting.

A rich and well-preserved history of Friedrich Schiller, the German poet.

Very worth while spending several hours here for an interesting insight in to some German culture.

Well sorted Rewe in the basement.

It's there and you can go shopping in it. Not more not less

Small shopping center but its enough for some basic things!

Very good one.

It is okay, for shopping and more

Quality products

Good food for a good price. Also nice to see a larger collection of food. So not just Bavarian, Italian, American, but a nice blend. Drinks are on the expensive side. Service was OK, but not spectacular. The waitress asking me if I could pay was kind of strange. Good location.

Situated directly next to Goethe's house, we hoped this historic restaurant would be a good place for a traditional Thuringian meal. Sadly, the goose was tough, stringy and overdone. The potato dumplings, a regional specialty, were soggy and were also overcooked. The service was decent and the decor fine too.

Nice location, directly at Frauenplan/Goethe house, and friendly staff. We were disappointed with the food though. I had Thüringer Klöße (dumplings) with goulash and red cabbage, which should be a nice local meal, but it was bland, salty and overcooked. It felt more like mass-produced ready-to-eat food (especially the sauce) than a restaurant-cooked meal.

Great and historic location. The staff is super friendly and does a great job. The food came a bit late but was delicious. They have typical Thuringa dishes and offer other choices as well. All in all a great place to spend an evening.⁸

We enjoyed eating outdoor in the summer here and looking at the people go by, but the inside of the restaurant is not less enjoyable, the food was good and the service friendly. Unluckily we sat too near a manhole from which a bad smell was coming up.

Just amazing ♥️ The food was delicious, waiters friendly and the ambiance stunning. I fell in love with the paintings of Weimar by Richard Starcke.

when we were guests in this restaurant, the kitchen was closed and there was nothing to eat. Nonetheless, it was okay here, at least there were drinks. Fits very well in this city, OK - but nothing special either

While the Napoli pizza (anchovies and capers) was quite tasty by nature, the Caprese pizza was very bland. The service was very friendly and we were seated nicely.

The pizza was fine and the size was pretty great, however it lacked a little bit of flavor and spices, for the price of it you can go to Dominos and eat maybe two pizzas that will be just as tasty. Nevertheless it was a great place to have lunch right in the middle of the beautiful city center. The atmosphere is warm and cozy.

Bland, unsalted food. Restaurant is saving on ingredients like meat & cheese. Carbonara was not creamy. Better go to the other Italian nearby, far better. This restaurant is not run by Italians.

I had a very unpleasant experience at this restaurant today. When I waved in a completely normal and polite manner to get the waiter’s attention for ordering, he approached me and lectured me in a serious tone, saying that this gesture is not acceptable in Germany because it supposedly resembles a historically controversial salute. I was honestly shocked — my hand gesture was absolutely innocent and common, not exaggerated or disrespectful in any way. I replied calmly, saying, “I understand, but I think maybe you’re being a little too sensitive.” The waiter then became quite personal and said he’s old enough to be my father, and I shouldn’t speak to him using “du” (the informal “you”), but rather “Sie” (the formal form), because we’re not friends. The conversation became uncomfortable, and I didn’t feel welcome at all. I ended up leaving the restaurant without eating. I couldn’t help but feel that I was treated differently — and worse — because I am a foreigner. It’s deeply disappointing and shows a lack of hospitality and openness, which is especially surprising in a service setting.

Not to much to add Really nice tasty food Just sad that I didn’t come with time as was a short visiting

Only had the pizza here but the woodfire oven made the base of the pizza really good however what was on the pizza was bland. I got the capresse pizza. Which turned out to be extremely bland. The sauce no taste plus the toppings you would usually get such as olive oil, parmesano, salt, pepper and balsamico were not served with our food and when I asked for some it was taken from another table that just finished eating. Also we were only strictly able to order pizza, we arrived an hour before closing

Very good pizza and service.

Cozy comfortable, warm greeting, nice environment for chatting. Cuisines are creative, my Caesar salad general tastes ok, but chicken tastes old and hard... , sauce somehow is not the classical one...well, Raviolis are delicious~

Spontanius visit during break in Bauhaus museum. The place is in the ex-greenhouse, with lots of super old furniture. Friendly waiters always suggest a wine for a type of food you order.. Cozy not loud music. Crem brule... Well, I was craving that moment, but that one didnt impress me much 🤷🏻‍♀️

We went to the restaurant yesterday and the waiter was super rude!!! We asked him if there are any tables we can sit at and he told us "Do you see any???" in a very aggressive tone and left! That is not the way one treats guests! Many tables were actually free inside! I don't know why he was that rude and aggressive but I hope management does something about this kind of behaviour!!!!!

We had a very nice evening at the restaurant. The staff are very professional and the rekommandations can be trusted. The food is very good!

Great evening with very good food. Good choice with nice flavor. Very good service in a nice atmosphere. When the rain came we were immediately offered a place inside. Really good place to go to

Beautiful place and special cuisine, I ate salmon fillet with vegetables and strawberries!!! It was fantastic, never tasted something like that before. Worth the try!

Everything was perfect. The service was very good with a touch of humour.

Lovely seasonal foods. Good vegetarian options - pearl barley risotto was especially good!

We’ve been to this place twice already, and it’s absolutely wonderful! 🌟 The omelet with sriracha mayo is a must-try, especially when paired with their sourdough bread — just marvelous, melting in your mouth and unbelievably soft. For desert- basque cheesecake only! Tripple recommended! The coffee is also really good, perfectly rounding out the meal. We loved the sourdough bread so much that we even bought it from the nearby bakery as a little souvenir to enjoy at home for a few more days. Highly recommend this spot — we’ll definitely be coming back!

Food is great. Friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere. Overall wonderful experience:)

My family and I enjoyed a pleasant buffet breakfast at the hotel restaurant. The staff was friendly, warm and professional. He asked us about our needs attentively, and brought a cute wood horse for my daughter, who had a lot of fun with it.

Very nice breakfast. Recommend reservation.

Too pricy for very small quantity! Customer service is excellent. Free water.

We ate dinner here with our extended family last weekend (24.09.22). The building is very nicely renovated but the service we experienced was incredibly poor. We waited a very long time for my father-in-law’s meal to arrive and after waiting 10 mins from the time the rest of the plates had been served we alerted a waiter to the missing dish. The waiter disappeared without returning and 5 minutes later we then asked another waiter to investigate what was going on. After some minutes he returned saying the kitchen was very busy the cooks were stressed as the restaurant was full and they only had 6 burners to cook on. The second waiter then tried to appease the situation by apologising and offering other cold alternatives, at which point the first waiter returned with a replacement meal which had been hastily prepared. On inspection my father-in-law found that the liver dish he had ordered was completely raw, the second waiter then examined the plate and agreed it was unacceptable and returned it to the kitchen. As an alternative the waiter then offered my father-in-law a plate of cheese and ham and some bread (which we were subsequently charged 27 Euros for). By the time this cold plate was served half an hour had gone by and the rest of us had already finished our meals. The dishes we ate were all fine, but not particularly special, but you can imagine our collective disappointment at not being able to eat together, as this was meant to be a special occasion. Of course, mistakes happen but Gretchen’s restaurant is pitched as a high-quality venue not Burger King (and in fairness to Burger King I expect they might have handled the situation better). We won't be going back again because we don’t think the restaurant handled the situation professionally. Here's a few suggestions to avoid losing more customers should this happen again: 1. Check all the plates are served and the customers are content with what they ordered within a few minutes of the service being 'complete' (this didn't happen) 2. When a waiter is alerted to a problem, they should report back to the customer immediately (this didn't happen) 3. When the problem is identified, don’t blame your colleagues or the equipment (this did happen) 4. When you try to catch up and get the missing plate out do make sure it is properly cooked (this didn't happen) 5. When you are still flailing around after 30 minutes don't make any further excuses, get the customer anything they want within reason and tell them its on the house (this didn't happen) 6. When you prepare the final bill, try to be generous - even a small reduction or a free glass of wine or two (on a bill of several hundred Euros) would go a long way as an apology (this didn't happen). 7. This is an 'incident' where the manager or front-of-house should have made a formal apology - not just the waiter. (this didn’t happen) Mistakes happen, but it is how you deal with them that counts. Restaurants are not just selling food; they are selling an experience. This was an experience that could have been avoided, at every one of the steps listed above, and is one we would be very happy not to repeat.

A very nice and quiet place. Can also come to just roam around the park

A truly peaceful experience. We spent the day walking through this amazing palace park. The audio guide on the Weimer app is very informative. Thank you for keeping this place in such good condition

Visiting Schloss Belvedere was a journey into history and art. The elegant palace, surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, showcased stunning Baroque architecture. Inside, the art collection, including iconic works mesmerized with its beauty and cultural significance. The ambiance exuded a sense of grandeur, providing a captivating experience for history and art enthusiasts alike.

So nice! The cafe was lovely and the art exhibition, whilst unexpected, was definitely memorable. It was a great day!

The place is pretty nice. There is a castle where you can visit and pay like 6.5€ (as far as I remember). Inside the castle there is a lot of porcelain. You also get something like a phone and while walking into the castle, you can find more information about the rooms that you are visiting. Also, there is a big park with trees and flowers. Really good for a picnic day. As I noticed, if you are visiting only the park, you don’t have to pay anything. Totally worth it. I gave it 4 stars because inside the castle, there was a lot of “new” porcelain, not everything was authentic. When I planned to go there, I expected to see authentic things, not a porcelain museum.

Was a bit disappointed that a lot of the furniture was not on display, and most of the displays were of glass and china items... I would want to see the kitchen, the batrooms, you know? Intimate moments of their lives that we rarely get to see... But it's overall a very sweet, beautiful "little" castle.

I have visited the place in month of September. It was a hot day so I did not enjoy more. Although castle is very unique. You need to pay 13 euro to look inside the castle

Exhibitions currently closed due to Corona but the shop is open, you can walk through the garden and enjoy some warm Glühwein, coffee or tea and delicious cakes

A fabulous courtyard and garden with service and food to match. Home made iced tea and the Kaiserschmarrn were excellent!

Excellent museum, need a translator if you can't speak German.

All good, just you can pay in the shop only with EC card. Not so touristic friendly. Cash is possible

Cool and unique place. We've not been in there but outsi you can see some beer farms, bug nests and some other natural stuff

This visit was on my beekeeping bucket list. Love European beekeeping traditions.

One of best places in Weimar

It seems like a great museum - if you speak German. Nothing is in English which I wish I realised beforehand. With google translate, I could still get something from it, but it's hard to want to do this for any length of time.

This is an amazing place. It is a hidden jewel of information, impressions, ideas. It opens the double door into a new/ old timeless space. People are so easy to communicate to. Here you are walking on sacret ground. I coild not make it all. I need to come again. Thank you for opening up such a space for deep insights.

A nice quick Early history tour of Thuringia, i highly recommend it to anyone interested in subject

Excellent museum on the early history of the region with some really interesting artifacts. Very well done and an audio device is available for those who don't speak German.

Very beautiful and interesting museum ❤️

Very nice museum. Well presented, good information, all hangs well together. So much work went into the exhibition. We enjoyed our visit.

Very informative, interactive show. Kids loved it.

A beautifully restored and maintained library representing the decadence and thirst for knowledge of years past. It’s a great location and not too far away from the main shopping district in the old city. Entry is for a fee of roughly €10 per person and kids are free. You will be required to wear clumsy feeling slippers over your shoes to protect the old floorboards. There are set times when tours take place so maybe check the website before going. The library itself is a wonderful display of craftsmanship and eloquence. There are also many side attractions apart from the main room. The building also plays host to some travelling exhibitions and is also located above the more modern city library. There are small gifts available and plenty informative displays. I wouldn’t recommend small kids as they may get bored and make a lot of noise.

You have to buy tickets weeks in advance online if you plan to visit. We bought ours about a month in advance since the number of visitors per day is very limited. The visit itself was very disappointing. For the price of 8 euro per person you can only enter the Rococo library which turned out to be very very small. Everything is fenced and you can not go anywhere except walk a few steps further on the main aisle. Upper floor and all other side aisles are not accessible! There is no information regarding the library to read on spot! If you want to learn something, you have to have the Weimar tourist app pre installed on your phone and have headphones. The most ridiculous thing of all was the huge slippers we were given prior to entering. They are all one size (probably size 47-48) and women and kids with smaller feet have a big chance of tripping and falling down. This is absolutely ridiculous for the price of 8 euro! I do not recommend a visit! If you have 8 euro to spare, I recommend a visit to the Neues Weimar Museum instead which is much more interesting.

High entry price for such a small amount of time to be spent there. Also everything is only in German. You don’t see anything more than the main pictures. You can’t go upstairs either. I wouldn’t recommend unless you are a big bibliophile Tickets are timed. I got lucky and got in on the next round since I was solo

The library is worth visiting due to its historical significance and excellent maintenance. However, the front desk receptionist was quite cold and somewhat rude, which was disappointing. It would be great if they could be friendlier, considering it's a public place with many international visitors.While I understand language limitations, it's challenging when the staff doesn't speak English and is reluctant to communicate. In a tourist spot, especially a UNESCO heritage site, having bilingual staff would be beneficial. A warm and welcoming demeanor would also make a big difference.

If you like books, art, history and knowledge this place will enchant you. Yes it is small, yes you can’t visit many rooms, yes the libraries in Dublin and Coimbra are more beautiful, yes €8 can seem a lot, still, it is a place of historical importance and if you allow that fact to sink in (Goethe and Schiller both stood there, where you will stand) you’ll be as touched as I was.

If you are a student in Jena or Weimar don’t miss out on this gem. Use your Thoska card to register and take out books. Not only is it a gorgeous study space, but they have a huge selection of English books too. I do a lot of research on line, however this library has books available that were not available the Thulb in Jena.

The room is really beautiful, it's worth seing once in my opinion. Because of the system to buy a ticket for a 30 minutes slot, I thought the amount of people visiting at once would be limited. It was actually very packed so couldn't move around as freely as I would have wished (on a sunday around 11-12h) The employees were all friendly. Maybe a visit is more pleasant during the week days.

Fantastic place! Ordered venison with local dumplings and salad with mushrooms. Also beers for me and my wife. Food arrived fast, and was delicious. Service was efficient and friendly. 5 out 5. Strongly recommended!

We had excellent food here, mainly local specialties.

On a touristy square, but nicely themed and nice interior with yes a lot of bears ;-). Pet friendly, our dogs immediately got a bowl of water. Service was fast. Nice menu, i did not know what to pick! Food was good, typical German :-) We hope to be back on our next visit to Weimar which is already in 2 weeks.

In April a young couple took over this wonderful restaurant and I must say they are doing a great job of it. Very friendly and if you have an extra request no problem. A menu with local dishes, and best of all local wines and beers. If you are in Weimar don't give this a miss.

Cosy tradition German restaurant, large portions of food which all were excellent. Staff super nice, I particularly loved the lamb.

Amazing food and service! Very local food and the lamb something to come back for sure!

What a beautiful experience! Food was superb!

The selection of wines is fabulous, the food excellent. I love this place!

Deserves to be visited for the extremely good food, not to mention the extraordinary wine list which does of course cover the entire wall. I ate there both nights out of the 2 nights I spent in Weimar. I had 3 plates each night and only the cheese was not made in-house. It is extremely rare that every single dish that comes out of the kitchen is faultless, but this is the case here. I would be confident if I ate there tomorrow and tried the small plates I have not yet tried, they would all be good. Some say it is expensive but you get what you pay for. Three small plates with two glasses of wine for 38 euros I consider a bargain for this quality. Absolutely Recommended as a must visit in Weimar.

We went there just for drinks. Great selection of wine and very knowledgeable staff.

Great place! Excellent choice of wine, good atmosphere and very nice service.

Hands down the best fine dining in Weimar, with more relaxed options and a very friendly atmosphere

Very good food and a huge selection of wines.

Amazing place with delicious food!

This is a nice cafe we had chocolate since today was freezing outside chocolate had a very good flavor but it wasn’t hot enough. My husband and I both order chili burgers and were disappointed, the sauce in the burger was overwhelming not so great even though it was spicy. The meat for the burger looked like it was boiled and then grilled. Other than it was a good service the girl who served was friendly and attentive. I would probably go back and try something else.

It gets worse each time I come to this place. The first time, it was great, almost perfect. But the more times I go there, the lazier the waitresses get, and the food... you can forget about it. The portion of fries is less than half (full price), and you can find white hairs everywhere in your food. Absolutely BON APPÉTIT. Never going there again.

Very nice staff, delicious food, very convenient prices. The atmosphere matches the name including music and decorations. I recommend this place as one of the best burger restaurants in town. I gave only four stars due to slow service.

If anyone is looking for the best American style burger in Weimar, American dinner is the ideal place.

Nice place, kind staff, great burgers, nice drinks, great snacks ...

Pretty good food and nice staff

Nice place, nice food and very friendly staff. I love the place

Visited drive - thru, I must say even though we were not speaking german the employee assigned to drive-thru was fluently speaking many languages. Great service and fresh food.

A typical McDonald's restaurant look and feel as every other. We were on our way from Frankfurt to Leipzig and the restaurant is only a small detour from highway 4. The place is very convenient with some parking spaces in indoor and outdoor seating and a small playground.

Very cool

Long ago McDonalds weren't top. Today we stop off *preferably* at a McDonald's when travelling on Autobahns. Clean, super clever ordering, fast service, reliable tasty food, great coffee, FREE clean WC use (as it should be)! Loving it actually and better than any SANIF***-type stops!

I recommend to visit the Restaurant, friendly staff and the food was excellent.👌

The manager this morning was unbelievable!! While I was paying at the register her two employees spoke to each other in English and to this she response was completely inappropriate! Saying “hier wird nur Deutsch gesprochen! Wir sind ja in Deutschland!” As someone who works in service I found this completely shameful! You can’t forbid someone from speaking their mother tongue. If she had explained to them that speaking German will help improve their German or that it could make customers uncomfortable I would not have found it offensive but in this situation it seemed much more like an insensitive racist remark. McDonald’s should be ashamed of putting a person in charge that would make comments like that.

Clean and tidy but coffee is as weak as you will find. Customer service not very good being a non german speaker but understood the coffee was "night gut" and just looked at me shaking their heads. F2f course it must just be me. No offer of a new one or a refund so just walked.

One of the main icons in Weimar set appropriately in front of the German National Theatre. Being a little shorter than Schiller, Goethe demanded that the heights of the figures be made the same.

Sure, here's a review for the Goethe-Schiller Monument in Weimar that you could use for Google Reviews: --- **⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️** The Goethe-Schiller Monument in Weimar is an awe-inspiring tribute to two of Germany's greatest literary figures. Located in the heart of the city, the statue beautifully captures the essence and friendship of Goethe and Schiller. The craftsmanship is exquisite, and the monument's surroundings provide a serene atmosphere perfect for reflection. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in German literature and culture. Standing before it, you can almost feel the presence of these monumental figures of history. Highly recommend!

Nice place to visit. Pretty square andany restaurant around here to sit down, relax and enjoy the beautiful views around

Goethe and Schiller bronze statue is worth a seeing in Weimar. We walked from the train station. I need to rewatch Twilight Zone’s episode “Escape Clause” for a Goethe Faustian fix.

Nice history place, worth visiting and chill

This place never stops to amaze you. Wether it's summer or winter or spring or autumn, it will always have a special charm and will always remain the center of weimar.

These sculptures are symbols of Weimar culture. İmpresive. 👍

Really wanted to like this place. Took a seat and waited….and waited. Waitress with blond hair was drinking a glass of wine with friends at another table and too busy to serve anyone. I got up to get service inside, after waiting and , as she saw me go inside. she responded in German that she would be there when she was finished. OK, why didn’t you come over whileI waited? Too busy drinking with friends? Drink on your own time! A different waitress approached and started to berate me, in English, claiming her colleague was just talking with friends and not drunk on the job. Really! Ok. Good try. but your “colleague” never came over to serve me at all and you did! She had a wine glass in her hand and was drinking! I don’t care she’s drinking, I just want a drink! Then, the new waitress started complaining and berating me because I I placed the menu she gave me on a wet table after a rainfall . OK, do blame me? Clean the table. It’s your job . Where was I supposed to put the menu? Served my drink by a guy. Third person I saw. Where was my waitress? No tip. No food order. Never come again… Very Disappointed. I was ready to spend a lot of money having a good time but the mood was spoiled. Recommend the management supervise their personnel to make sure they are serving customers instead of drinking.

Very good beer and food. The pulled pork burger came with this nice stretchy cheese and dark, fluffy bun. Packed with flavor. Really recommend the fries with it as well - they were fresh and piping hot. The schnitzel was also good. If you go around dinnertime, expect a wait - we had to wait 40+ min for our food after we ordered.

We had a wonderful dinner at Benediktiner Wirtshaus im joHanns Hof in Weimar. The service was warm and friendly, the food was excellent, and the dessert was outstanding. A perfect evening from start to finish!

Overpriced, underwhelming, and lost in translation. Unfortunately, the staff didn’t speak English and my German is… aspirational at best. Communication was a challenge, but sadly, so was the food. What we got was below average – and shockingly expensive. We paid €110 for three meals, and not one of us managed to finish even half the plate. That says something. Definitely not worth it, neither for the taste nor the price. I can’t recommend it.

Fantastic place! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and their beef burger is absolutely delicious- juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor, one of the best in the world, to be honest! Great service and a lovely spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Highly recommend!!

Rice German Restaurant, there are not many options for Vegetarian, but they have Veg like German style Ofen-potatos with different sauce and some others. Service is good and friendly. It was nice food.

I have been in many restaurants in centre of Weimar, I tried different restaurants where they serve German cuisine, but this one is definitely the best: super fast service, very delicious food and friendly staff. Highly recommend this place!

Very impressive. It was already in 1918 /1919 clear that the Versaille Treaty was too heavy and burden for the German people. But when they amended that, French and Belgium troops occupied the strategic coal reserves in the Ruhrgebiet .....

Great place to learn about German history! I think this is is a very helpful and creative place. Loved the short movie especially, but the rest of the exhibition as well! It’s very good that everything there also has English translation. Highly recommend a visit! I think the interactive part where you are challenged to answer questions/ think about your view on democracy is also a great tool!

I would say that this is one of the most important museums in Germany at the moment. It shows how democracy works and how fragile democracy can be. There are parallels to today and to the rise of right-wing forces within politics. A must for every European citizen who is interested in keeping our freedom and liberty.

Very informative museum on the Weimar Republic and the history of Germany in the years between the two wars. They have a film and some pretty good exhibits detailing life in that period, the disgruntlement after the end of the first world war and the lead up to the second world war which is great to get an insight into that era. It all feels a little cramped though with too much information in one room. It would probably have been better to spread out the exhibits a bit, take up a little bit more space and make the experience easier to read and enjoy for the public.

I just happened to notice this building as I was walking along the street and I'm so glad I did. I think I must have spent about three hours here. It provides a fabulous, informative and honest account of how the Weimar Republic came to be and then how it eventually met its demise. The regular exhibition is housed in a large hall that takes visitors clockwise around the room, with each section generally dedicated to a particular time period or category of events in chronological order. It provided really deep insights into the ambitions, political/social climates/contexts, etc of those times, and provides some amazing photos and video footage. It's very heavy on text but you can skip bits and pieces along the timeline if it's too much and you'll still probably have obtained some key insights. I read almost every bit, and I think I wore myself out! Every single bit of German text is accompanied by well written English translation and the videos have English subtitles where necessary so you absolutely get the same picture even if you can't read German. I exited the building feeling well informed. Best wishes!

Excellent museum, but could do with more space. Friendly staff and plentiful information. Specially enjoyed the Hindenburg/Ebert exhibition on the upper floor.

An excellent, affordable museum showing the tumultuous history of the 1920s. Every sign is in German and English. There is a nice film with recreated speeches, with subtitles in English. It’s a small, one room museum, but you could spend 2 hours inside. Also, there’s a nice little biergarten in the back!

What a stunning experience! This is one place not to be missed when visiting Weimar. Creative, succinct, informative, and using the latest techniques to inform us about the history of Weimar. Children will find this entertaining too. The gift shop is a gem! I found the best mug ever here.

I love the Museum experience here. Was there as the sole visitor that day. At first I was a bit afraid something would jump out but turns out the whole tour makes me understand history of Weimar with Goethe as a guide...that was an awesome memory! I will bring more friends next time 😁 Worth a visit definitely

Great for history enthusiasts interested in the Weimar Republic. Lots of information that could use a bit more space. Plenty of interesting tidbits of information too, like the cause of President Ebert's untimely death and Wolfgang Kapp's death mask along with his gruesome cause of death.

Nice interaktive history Show of Weimar. For adults and Children

Very innovative and interesting way to introduce a brief history of Weimar. We loved it, even my kids. I highly recommend a visit to Weimarhaus.

Lots of info in a short period of time with interactive details to learn about history of Weimar. Greatly recommend it.

I learned everything I know about Weimar from this place lol! For someone who was ignorant of Weimars importance, history and it's influential figures the little 'walk through Weimar's history' was enlightening and fun! Nice souvenirs as well!

We had the opportunity to spend two nights here on our trip across Germany. The room was super spacious and the whole building was historical. Food was amazing with local dishes, great beer and friendly staff. Museums and sights within walking distance. 5/5 experience

Excellent experience of traditional house with modern facilities. But the printed paintings in the room could have better taste. Weimar has such rich history resources and there are countless great fine arts in Goethe's Museum, what a pity.

Horrible restaurant service. I went for the first time, the restaurant was empty. We sat outside and waited for 15 minutes and no one came to serve us or bring a menu. We just got up and left. Tried again today as a group of 5 and was even worse. The waitress gave us 1 menu and didn't even clean our table (there were dirty glasses there from previous customers). We had to go inside to get more menus by ourselves when more friends arrived since the waitress never came back to our table. Then after sitting and waiting for 15 minutes with no sign of waiters coming outside to get our orders we just decided to leave again. If you value your time just avoid this place.

Wonderful located in an ancient half-timbered house in the center of Weimar, this restaurant offers a tasty cuisine with the best regional products. The Rinderrouladen (beef rolls) and the dumplings are amazing. The service is friendly and professional.

I found this lovely place walking in the old town of Weimar. The timber building was beautiful and several floors were available. It must be a fun place in the evening when it is full of people. I had lunch sitting outside. Service was prompt and the food was fresh and delicious. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The beer was good, so I had two.

This is an excellent bar and restaurant with a good range of Thuringia regional dishes. The beef roulade is excellent and if dumplings are not your thing then you can substitute other forms of potatoes. The staff are friendly and efficient. Their beer is also excellent. The venue is a stunning and well restored building. WiFi is available inside. Recommended.

Nice location, but the saltiest food i ever had in my life. Also, the waitress was quite rude, she seemed to be annoyed by every single question i made. This may be a German thing, as it had happened over and over in different cities and restaurants, but still...

Al Dente is a nicely decorated restaurant in the center of the city. The food is okay, the Aperol with EUR 7,80 a little bit pricey. Will come back again.

Food good, was rude though and didn't allow bigger order

Below average tasteless food (starters, pasta and pizza), with a low price to quality ratio.

Best Italian restaurant I’ve ever went to. Very good wine, perfect pizza and pasta.

Great italian restaurant - Lunch offer are a bargain.

Super restaurant 👌

Food was good. Waiters where very friendly.

Food was amazing, tried the dishes of the day: tagliatelle oktopus and pizza messina. Tiramisu is pretty decent, perfect for chocolate lovers. They were really nice and served us food after 10 pm. 10/10

Pomodoro is a nice Italian restaurant located in the heart of Weimar. Sitting outside watching the plaza is a great experience. I started with the Caprese Bruschetta which was tasty, I wish there was more mozzarella on it however. For the entree I had the Pennete Rigate Corte d Assisi which was very good. Nothing really blew me away but the service was good and the location is superb. I had a cappuccino at the end of the meal which was well made.

Food was good. Nothing spectacular but solid good Italian food. Prices were ok

Pizza was really good and wine was much above expectations. The food preparation time is really fast and you can directly see your pizza being baked in a stone oven. Little drawback - the number of waiters and working experience of some of them could be better. But overall - very good 😊

Delicious pizza and pasta. Pasta was already brought to the table 10 minutes before the pizza. The young man who helped us was the hardest worker of all employees but what was he grumpy. At least a lot of chairs on the terrace were obsolete, due a full terrace, some customers were very uncomfortable because there were no good chair's left.

Nice place , food is good, service is good

Great location, easy and stress-free reservation. We were seated quickly and the food was prepared swiftly, the quality didn't suffer from the fast preparation time. Overall it was great value for money and will guarantee a second visit.

Great piece of history, wonderful parc.

Beautiful part of Weimar, more the character of an old and small village.

A must to do when in Weimar, go walking or cycling. Beautiful colors of nature, water, trees and green spaces

Very beautiful and peaceful place, wonderful for spending time

Lovely park, perfect for a short walk.

A very pleasant place to take a walk and learn lots of things about botany.

Ok

Jakobkirchof is at city center and Atrium mall which has a lot of shopping opportunities is near to to the place. You can find bus stop and a cafe at this place where you can have some refreshments if wanted...

Very quiet simply designed and tastefully decorated church. We came here to see Lucas Cranach's grave, which is outside

Very important people are buried here and the church has an astounding view from the tower.

Very beautifully decorated for Christmas 🎄

Interesting church to visit

(Translated by Google) The Baroque St. James' Church is located in the center of Weimar and has hosted numerous prominent guests over the centuries. In addition to J. W. v. Goethe, J. S. Bach is also said to have been a guest here. Built in the early 18th century, the church lies directly on the Way of St. James, which gave the church its name. St. James' Church is surrounded by the oldest cemetery in Weimar, the St. James Cemetery. St. James' Church and the surrounding grounds are a wonderful place of tranquility in the heart of Weimar. (Original) Die barocke Jakobskirche befindet sich im Zentrum der Stadt Weimar und blickt auf zahlreiche prominente Gäste zurück, die hier im Laufe der letzten Jahrhunderte weilten. Neben J. W. v. Goethe soll hier auch J. S. Bach zu Gast gewesen sein. Die im frühen 18. Jhd. gebaute Kirche liegt direkt am Jakobsweg, welcher der Kirche den Namen gab. Umgeben wird die Jakobskirche vom ältesten Friedhof in Weimar, den Jakobsfriedhof. Die Jakobskirche und das angrenzende Gelände sind ein toller Ort der Ruhe im Herzen Weimars.

(Translated by Google) Johann Wolfgang Goethe and Christiane Vulpius were married in the sacristy of St. James's Church on October 19, 1806. The baroque, single-nave church was built in 1713 on the orders of Duke Wilhelm Ernst. The neoclassical furnishings of the galleries and the sarcophagus of the English painter Charles Gore are interesting. The small cemetery outside the church contains the graves of the painter Lucas Cranach the Elder, the writer Musäus, and Goethe's wife Christiane. Friedrich Schiller was buried in the pavilion known as the Kassengewölbe (cash vault) in 1805. From the tower, you can enjoy the most beautiful view of the city. (Original) In der Sakristei der Jakobskirche wurden am 19. Oktober 1806 Johann Wolfgang Goethe und Christiane Vulpius getraut. Die barocke, einschiffige Kirche wurde 1713 auf Anlass Herzogs Wilhelm Ernst errichtet. Die klassizistische Ausstattung der Emporen und der Sarkophag des englischen Malers Charles Gore sind interessant. Auf dem kleinen Friedhof außerhalb der Kirche befinden sich die Gräber vom Maler Lucas Cranach dem Älteren, vom Schriftsteller Musäus und von Goethes Ehefrau Christiane. In dem Kassengewölbe genannten Pavillon wurde 1805 Friedrich Schiller begraben. Vom Turm aus kann man den schönsten Blick auf die Stadt genießen.
