The Beethoven-Haus Bonn is a memorial site, museum and cultural institution that celebrates the life and work of composer Ludwig van Beethoven. The museum has one of the world's largest collections of manuscripts and music items related to the master.

Very nice place to visit. Well organized and informative. You will find a variety of Beethoven’s belongings as well as paintings and his music books and instruments. Loved it! Sadly no photos allowed inside the house.

A beautiful house and interesting artifacts of the son of Bonn. Here you feel like a part of his history: antique creaky floors, his personal belongings and musical instruments, rooms where you can listen to his masterpieces, a beautiful backyard, portraits and correspondence letters and much more. In my top 3 must-see places in Bonn.

Visiting Beethoven's house in Bonn has been a lifelong dream of mine, and it certainly did not disappoint. As a classical music lover, getting to walk the same halls where one of history's greatest composers once lived and worked was an incredible experience. The house itself is beautiful, with its classic 18th century architecture and the lush gardens surrounding it. Inside, I was amazed to see Beethoven's actual pianos, original scores, and other artifacts that gave me a glimpse into his creative genius. Though he went deaf later in life, standing in that house you could almost hear the music in the air. Getting to see where Beethoven was born and spent his formative years left me inspired and in awe of his lasting legacy. This visit is one I will cherish forever.

It's great to see where this genius grew up and what. Inspired him the same was he Inspired generations. The house staff are very friendly. The space is quote. There is an app that guides you through the exhibits. Gift shop is a cross the street is also where you buy tickets.

Small but fine. €10 per adult and €7 per kid, €19 for a family (2 adults+max 3 kids). Photos are not allowed inside.

Pearl X — Google review

Small house filled with interesting tidbits on Beethoven including a unique statue made from a plaster mask while he was not very old, the string quartet instruments he was gifted, items from his daily life, facsimile scores, ear trumpets, and info on his friends, patrons, and acquaintances. I recommend doing the audio tour as it will add quite a bit of context and information to the experience. Perhaps too much. If one were to listen to every entry in the guide you'd likely be there for several hours.

Michael C — Google review

A place I always yearning to visit! I can't describe the feeling you get when you look at the original instruments knowing they were once played by a great Master like Beethoven!

Majid — Google review

Beautifully laid out with German and English explanations. I recommend the audio tour QR code and earphones or one from there. Go early to see the treasury - different opening hours we missed it unfortunately. Highly recommend

Gilly R — Google review

Excellent experience, the house where a legend was born. It's very well kept, everything, every object has an explanation (historical note if you will). You can also download an app which plays the music specific to the instrument Beethoven used. You aren't allowed to take photos inside the house but there is a garden where you can click few photos. A must visit for everyone. (For students the rates are a bit lower)

Amit N — Google review

Spent a Great time visiting Beethoven house. Highly recommend if you fan of classic music and interestted in this music genius. You can rent audio guide, plus for non German speakers all exhibitions have English translation.

Martyna N — Google review

Such a beautifully preserved piece of history. A must see if you're in Bonn! The house Beethoven was born in and so many interesting facts about him and his family. I would love to go again and spend more time as I was on a time constraint. Well worth it. It's closed on Tuesdays. Plan accordingly

Tatiana M — Google review

Visited it on a Saturday late afternoon, overall liked the place and was able to cover it in 75 mins. It's small with ground, first and second floor. The place offers you to see different potraits of Beethoven, some of his musical instruments, letters from his family and friends, and some hearing devices. To get more info about the exhibits you can download an app. The download did not work for me inside the Haus so I went to the ticket shop again to download it.Treasury area is only open from 11 till 14:00 or 15:00. Next to the Treasury you can go into the music room and relax there while listening to some of the famous compositions.You can buy the tickets from the ticket amd souvenir shop opposite to the house at a normal price for 12 euros and for students 7/7.5 euros.

Ammarah M — Google review

Definitely come to Beethoven's House if you are visiting Bonn, it is an amazing place that shows the life of the great composer, and how the barriers of losing his sense of hearing can still make wonderful works like his famous 5th and 9th symphony.

Jason C — Google review

This was one of the main reason I travelled to Bonn. It was a nice medium sized museum full of Beethoven's personal letters, manuscripts, artifacts and instruments. What I found quite interesting was the correspondences detailing Beethoven's relationships. Download the app in the shop using their free wifi before entering the gallery so you can use the audio guide. Bring a good set of earphones (noise cancelling preferably) as its a small space and the creaky floors and many tours get quite loud over the audio guide.

Lilla C — Google review

My friend just wanna visit it while i been in Bonn. It was easy just both tickets and we go straight away! They give u tablet with headphones or you can download app with all information and history. From outside it looks quite small but when you enter its a lot of space to explore! Really love it, enjoy the music while looking by the window in to the garden was my fav thing. All small details explained and much new things I found out! Totally worth it

The museum isn't too big but detailed enough to be interesting. I like the room with headphones to listen to the music, as well as the exhibition area. The garden is also neat, overall, happy I went and would recommend it to everyone.

Was my first time, i was a bit hesitated but quickly from the starting i get the positive vibe, the reception then the pianist and they way they have decorated with the candles. No regrets, and sure will go again and encourage my friends as well.

This really shows the difficult lives that they had back on those times. Just think if they had the modern medicine a lot of the medical afflictions might not have even been an issue. That’s why we have to thank the pioneers before us that allow us to get to where we are.Looking at all of Beethoven’s treasures was definitely worth the visit.

Michael L — Google review

Visiting Bonn without visiting the Beethoven-Haus is virtually impossible. This little museum is definitely worthwhile and not just for fans of Beethoven's music. It gives an interesting insight in life in the nineteenth century in Germany.

Carl P — Google review

Excellent place...All the items used by him is kept here....His piano is there at the top floor....

Sathishkumar K — Google review

After that we went to Beethoven house, the house where Beethoven was born. To buy tickets you across the street. Also if you have a backpack then you need to put it in one of the lockers. We downloaded the app which had the auto guide. Overall there is the ground floor and then 2 other floors. This museum goes over Beethovens up bringing as well as highlights the instruments he played. Nice museum, if you want to listen to everything it will take about 2 hours but we tried to listen to what we thought was noteworth so we finished within an hour. Nice to see if you are in Bonn.

Josh B — Google review

Beautiful house and museum dedicated to the great composer Beethoven.There’s a good app to download so you can hear all kinds of information about his life and work while you walk around from room to room.Many of his instruments are on display there.The store across the museum sells the tickets to get in and souvenirs.

Must see place if you come to Bonn.Entering fees are €12 but it’s worth the price.

Albert C — Google review

Beautiful and well maintained museum. The staff is very friendly, the items are easy to get to and see, tickets could be easily bought on the spot. I visited on Dec 23 and the museum wasn’t super busy. The special exhibition opened at 11:30 a.m. (museum opens at 10 a.m.) which gave me enough time to see the rest of the house without being in rush. The whole experience took me about a hour and a half. The musical rooms are very meditative and I definitely recommend spending time listening to Beethoven’s music for a while. Pictures could be taken everywhere with exception of the Treasury room where the special exhibition was placed. A definite must-go for a professional musician!

Smilyana L — Google review

What a beautiful surprise to find this petit filarmonic in the Beethoven House, just so elegant and cozy.The piano con concert very accurate and the pianist was very gently, he explained a nice general history about Beethoven pieces.And the many candles are just adorable.

I grew up with music of Beethoven, so visiting this museum was kind of sentimental for me.Reading his letters regarding his deafness and trying the instrument that mimics his hearing was heartbreaking. He was a great man and museum was a good reminder and reflection of this.

Vüqar C — Google review

Die älteren Damen sind zum Teil ganz schön genervt, wenn man Fragen zu den Tickets, oder wo die Konzerte sind, hat.Sonst ein schönes, informatives und sauberes Museum.Der Künstler hat leider nicht, wie angeben 40min, sondern nur 30min gespielt.(Translated by Google)Some of the older women get really annoyed when you have questions about the tickets or where the concerts are.Otherwise a nice, informative and clean museum.Unfortunately, the artist didn't play for 40 minutes, as stated, but only 30 minutes.

If you're bringing a backpack or small bag with you, bring at least 1 euro cash since you'll need it to put your bags in a locker room, you cannot enter the museum with your bags/backpack.

History Museums

The House of the History of the Federal Republic of Germany is a museum exhibiting contemporary German history. It is a beautiful museum with an interesting variety of exhibits, including documents that once belonged to Oskar Schindler.

One of the best museums I have ever seen. It is highly informative without being overwhelming. It is well adapted for all people, irrespective of how much or how little they know about Germany’s history after WW2. Strongly recommend!

Ioana B — Google review

Amazing Museum! The place is very huge, well planned and maintained, so take your time visiting it.Free entrance, so you can always come back once you're more familiar with the German language, but some are translated in English and you can listen to the audio guide.Suited for families with kids, couples, and solo. Recommend if you are visiting Bonn.

Fawzi M — Google review

The free entrance Museam that tells how German become today since 1945.Wonderful journey and well planned. There are very informative and have some interactive tools available.However, the English description is not available in small sections, so you would only have audio and narrative at the main theme.Sparklingly clean and family friendly :)

Nuchnalin L — Google review

We didn’t know the entry for this museum is for FREE!! Yes you read that right. For FREE! For this amazing museum full of explanation on the past and history together with physical stuff, we were more than surprised to know such gem exists. Totally recommend you to visit it because why not?

Thet H — Google review

Excellent Museum pointing out German history from 1945- to the present. The museum is quite interesting, take your time to visit. It takes a while to view carefully

Paul S — Google review

The Museum of the History of the Federal Republic is a modern chronically of post second war Germany. It is a very fascinating place to visit but half way round I felt overloaded with information. It is perhaps better to take a coffee or tea break before you become saturated with information overload.I would recommend this museum it is very well laid out and extremely simulating. But remember to take a break. You can download a free audio guide to your mobile phone.The Museum is free to enter. The cloakroom is free to use. It had a handy cafe with waiter service.Toilets are on the basement floor.A metro station is virtually a minute away from the entrance.

Christopher W — Google review

Very organized, clean, neat! Worth going 2 days to enjoy looking and reading everything. Not everything in English but a lot of interesting things in English, yet you can have a flyer in English and also can use your phone to listen in English via downloaded app.

It was a great place to learn the history of Germany since WW2, you need a lot of time in my opinion to fully enjoy it!

Kira P — Google review

Fantastic Museum....absolutely one of the best i have ever seen in my life. Very well done, extremely clear, with a lot of explanations also in English. Of course many of the memorabilia, of the articles, etc are in German and can be fully understood only by Germans but also for us it was extremely interesting. It is the history of West Germany from WWII to the fall of Berlin's Wall. Unmissable! The entrance is free.

Paolo B — Google review

Very interesting and extensive longterm exhibition about post-WW2 Germany.

Edgar V — Google review

What an experience! I highly recommend the permanent historical exhibition. Very engaging and educational and humbling.

Nashit M — Google review

Are you looking for an well balanced view of German history after WW2, then visit this museum. But you need enough time and concentration. You will understand political development and live circumstances.But I think it has to rebuild. Youth need other kind of knowledge transfer with more interaction and using digital media.The longe invites for a relaxing break between many books.

Andrej P — Google review

Great Museum. Entrance is free of charge and you leave with a reasonable understanding of both Germany’s histories since WWII.

Thomas M — Google review

It was free entry for some reason, they had quite a good collection, the historical stuff is in German, while the digital section is labeled in English. I spend around 2hrs here. It was worth it. I recommend a visit.

Get emotional at first with some corners of post war. Informative and diversely displayed which is really nice however a few English signs to be found except the very brief main ones. In stead they walk you thru by audio by QR code.

Musée très intéressant, et nous permet d’en apprendre plus sur l’histoire de l’Allemagne. La mise en scène de l’expo nous plonge vraiment dans l’histoire. L’entrée est gratuite et accès direct du musée en sortant du métro.(Translated by Google)Very interesting museum, and allows us to learn more about the history of Germany. The staging of the exhibition really immerses us in history. Entrance is free and direct access to the museum from the metro.

Interesting place!! Sadly, most introductions are in German, only some of them provide English translation, not so friendly for non-German speakers

WEI-CHIEH L — Google review

The museum is really big and lots of items insideThe museum starts from (after ww2, 1945) until now.The bad thing is that there are NO English descriptions at all, although it is intended for foreigners to learn history about this great countryI loved the place in general. I love German historyMany original pieces and many replicasThe museum has history about war, machines, politics, astro, life, people, ..I liked how the theme was affected by the timeline (united > east+west germany> united germany)

Ahmad N — Google review

An interesting museum that would probably be even more interesting if there was some English explanations on exhibits (or if I spoke any German). But even with an inability to understand any descriptions, i found it quite interesting for a short visit. Free entry is also nice.

Wayne W — Google review

I learned so much history about WW2 and German history that I had never heard before. Such an interesting and well put together exhibit. You could spend hours there. If you're not a German speaker, make sure to download Google translate and use the camera feature to translate all the notes on the pictures or you'll miss a lot that even the audio guide doesn't tell you.

Tatiana M — Google review

Beautiful Museum. If you are in Bonn you must go there. It's free. 5 different floor going from 2nd world war to our days.

Alberto B — Google review

Truly a must see for every German citizen and everyone who is interested in German and recent European history.What is especially captivating is the fact that each part of the exhibition is visually and physically enhanced by original objects and artifacts which are telling a story about their past much better than a simple picture or text.While you can easily spend an entire day here without having seen everything, I’d recommend to split the entire exhibition in at least two visits to better process the vast amounts of information and pictures.

Johannes — Google review

May 2023: An absolutely excellent museum on three floors. And an underground treat too! All FREE.Wonderful run though history in sight and sound.You need the best part of a day.AND a bit of the Berlin wall too.The exhibition of Computer era was fascinating too.

The area also includes Nurburg castle ruins, providing a picturesque view of the Nürburgring. Car enthusiasts will find plenty to do at the main facility, including visiting official merchandise stores and other unique shops within the complex.

The energy here is something else, did a lap in a hired Porsche caymen gt4 and it and the track blew my mind. Did I mention it was my first track day ever, baptism of the green hell indeed. A must do experience.

you can be sure that if it's the first time you're going to visit it will be 100x better than you imagine, what a spectacular place I would say Disneyland is for those who like motorsport, pleasantly linking everything to your favor, it's a place you go and never forget! Amazing!

Michel C — Google review

Plenty to see and do, a museum, shops. Most people will come here for the race track, you can get a race taxi ride or take your own, we went round on motorbikes. Pay your 25 euros for the tourist lap and off you go, thrilling ride round. Keep your eyes on your mirrors stay to the right and you'll be fine, loved it.

Get a round in the circuit to feel the adrenaline of the races it is just amazing. In the moment you start smelling the burn outs, the brakes on fire and the gasoline you feeling that that place is just special.

If you got this far then you know what this place is and what goes on here, so skipping that part.All in all this is a life experience and I do recommend going here. Well do take a taxi maybe if you have never been on a track before...In general - go on workdays if possible and I would suggest buying tickets online. Make the process a lot smoother.Otherwise everything goes smooth and is a very pleasant experience.

Wow!! I’ve only driven a handful of circuits in the UK but have always wanted to try ‘The Ring’. Videos on YouTube really don’t show just how technical this track is, it’s simply mind blowing and the pace at which some drivers can get around it is so impressive. Highly recommended, but not for the faint hearted!

They are special days where you can ride your car on the most famous ring in the world, more than 20 km of nonstop thrill the people working there work with a passion you will never regret visiting this place.

Drove in the track a few times, bought a lot of surveniers, did taxi rides, made life-long friends, watched multiple races including the 24-hr Nürburgring races, attended concerts and sim racing expos, truly a one-of-a-kind experience! Even if I am not in Germany for now, I will definitely come back in the future!

Rented a BMW M2 from Ring bros and drove the nordschleife. Absolutely amazing experience. Horrifying, but amazing. I strongly recommend a coah to go with you if you're not crazy familiar with the track. The most exhilarating thing I've ever done, hands down. Cannot recommend enough. Not for the faint of heart. There were 2 track closures while I waited, added about 2 hours of wait time. It's just part of it. WORTH IT!!!!!

As a car enthusiest, have no doubt that The Nürburgring will be an amazing visit. The main facility itself has plenty to do, just double check the hours for certain activities or stores online. The official merchandise store itself is great but there are a few other stores that sell neat stuff in the complex.I also highly recommend driving to one of the nearby spectating corners such as Brünnchen aka "YouTube corner" where you may have seen compilation videos from the likes of Auto Addiction.I enjoyed driving on the ring during Touristenfahrten and highly reccomend utilizing one of the reputable rental companies with an instructor. The ring is not like track days you have experienced before. Conditions change multiple times per lap and you will not be anywhere near as fast as the locals (seriously, don't push yourself to 10/10ths of your abilities here). Overall this is an auto enthusiast paradise worth going no matter the capacity that you wish to participate or explore. The surrounding area is very nice as well.

Andrew W — Google review

This place is a mega for petrol heads.About £30 a lap plus impact to your car, but worth every penny.If your thinking of going on track with a bike, take a second thought….. every day motorcycles were banned and it seemed like they didn’t like bikes….. loads of bikes were sat in the car park.Everything is expensive.Hotels are plentiful in the area, it’s worth giving them a call directly as they are open to direct discounts.There are loads of track side views (YouTube Corner etc) and plenty of places to eat.Check the Swiss and French bank holiday dates, if there is one, don’t go, the queues to get onto the track can take up to 2 hours to get on. The queue to get off was 3 deep nearly back to the gantry….Then there will be plenty of yellow flags to ruin your best time BTG.

Colin B — Google review

Unbelievable place.Very dangerous during tourist days. Anyone is aloud in the track with zero safety briefing or knowing the rulesI think they should at least tell everyone the rules before going in.If you plan on going, I highly recommend renting a car from rsr or similar who will go over this.

TY3 — Google review

Absolutely loved it. Will definitely go again... and again... and again. It has a fantastic 'feel' about the place. Atmosphere is what you'd expect amongst die hard car enthusiasts.

There are no words that describe the feeling of driving on the Nürburgring if you are a motorsport fan. I drove my first laps back in March and i still can´t shake the feeling of being there. If you are thinking about visiting, just do it! It´s worth every minute you spent there!

Points of Interest & Landmarks

The 37 meter high equestrian monument marks the spot where two rivers meet and is home to the impressive Monument to Emperor Wilhelm. The statue was erected in 1897 and has been damaged during WWII, but has since been restored.

This is a must visit spot if you are visiting Koblenz. You will be able to see two rivers merging here at the spot. The view to the other sides of the river is amazing. You can also take seilbahn(cable car) from here to go to the top of a fortress

One of the perfect blend of culturally rich and sightseeing places in Germany, where we can see the convergence of the father "Rhine" and mother "Moselle".And a few meters from this place there is a cable car ride which takes you to the nearby fort which has a bird eye view of the koblenz city and the merging of two rivers.In case you visit Germany please add this to your must visit list.PS : please visit during a sunset it's a sight to behold.

Beautiful view of Mosel river where it joins with the Rhine river. The statue of William I is huge, who is the first German emperor. It was restored after 1945. There is much history associated with this particular location. This location is popular tourist attractions. There are many fortress near by this moment. Ehrenbreitstein Fortress view from this is splendid. The wind blows here heavy always. The city view on the bank of rivers is worth watching. It takes around 20-25 minutes to reach the Koblenz train station by walk. There are many restaurants near city centre while walking from this Deutsches Eck. One can take the boat raids which are worthy.

Such an historical place with rich history. If one enjoys long walks, one can walk along the riverside and reach Deutsches Eck, without any problem. Absolutely magnificent memorial of the Kaiser.

Das deutsche Eck ist zu jeder Zeit ein schöner Ort. Einfach zur Ruhe kommen und dem Treiben zuschauen. Dort gibt es immer tolle Veranstaltungen. Direkt nebenan ist ein schöner Biergarten, in dem man entspannt das schöne Denkmal genießen kann.(Translated by Google)The German Corner is a beautiful place at any time. Just relax and watch what goes on. There are always great events there. There is a beautiful beer garden right next door where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful monument.

It is the place where the river Moser joins the Rhine. A spectacular place, where you can enjoy a dream landscape and German hospitality. I detoured 80 kilometers to be able to visit the Rhine valley and the German corner, but I did not regret it for a moment, I recommend visiting this place as well as a visit by cable car to the castle.

Awesome place for an evening walk, or a morning one, or go all in and do both! It’s also a picturesque place for a photography session.And the Koblenz city is just do calm and chill, very enjoyable experience. Highly recommend it!

We were on a Viking River boat, great way to travel! The Herja was beautiful, food, wine and beers excellent. Too bad I missed a lot of the tours and all of Paris, due to flight delays, luggage lost and sick from the cold A/C - 2 day and nights at JFK Airport. None of this was Vikings fault. They are excellent in Service, Employees and ships.

Koblenz, a picturesque city in Germany, left a lasting impression. The historic old town, stunning riverside promenades, and the Deutsches Eck monument were highlights. The city's rich history and charming architecture create a unique atmosphere. It's a place where culture, history, and natural beauty converge, making it a must-visit destination.

What a wonderful Historic Scene!The Rhein and the Main River meet at this intersection.People from all over the World converge here for relaxing Tourism.Plus you can stroll along the River front and enjoy shopping in the Old City (Altstadt) a few block inland.Plenty of Restaurants, Cafés, ICE cream shops within walking distance.Come here when in Koblenz.

Einzigartiger Platz , der einen Besuch wert ist. Wir waren zwei Tage in Folge dort.Der Platz strahlt trotz Menschenmassen eine solche Ruhe aus. Traumhafte Parkanlagen, der Ausblick zur Festung Ehrenbreitstein, die Vereinigung von Mosel und Rhein und nicht zu vergessen die Gondelfahrt zur Festung über den Rhein.(Translated by Google)Unique place that is worth a visit. We were there two days in a row.The square exudes such calm despite the crowds.

Went for a run around the Koblenz waterfront and paused here to enjoy the view. The confluence of the Rhine and the Moselle with hardly anybody around. Marked by a gargantuan equestrian statue of Kaiser Wilhelm.Lovely views of the castle atop the far bank of the Rhine. Well worth a visit.

Damian M — Google review

This is probably what Koblenz is well known for - the Deutsche Eck (in English the German Corner), where the two rivers meet - the Rhine and the Moselle. It is an amazing sight to see. Take the walk right up to the corner and take as many pics, instagrams, etc to add to your memories.The place also has nice surrounding gardens and views, and at certain times, leading up to the German Corner, there are lots of beer gardens and food stalls.If you are in Koblenz, this is a must-see place, most of the time it is packed with tourists and locals.

Phil T — Google review

The history of this location is interesting and at the same time sad that the original was destroyed in 1945. The 1993 replica seems just as awe inspiring and fantastically weathered.

Matthew W — Google review

A wonderful and solemn tour of this amazing monument to the benevolent King Wilhelm I on the corner (Ecke) convergence of Father Rhein and Mother Moselle Rivers. There are sixteen flags to represent the unity of the formerly independent states, plus two additional flags to include the EU and a tribute flag of the United States, raised in support following the 9/11 attack in New York City. The grounds included the former Palace and there is a cable car across the Rhein to visit the medieval fortress which guarded the waterway. Ralf was an amazing guide and historian with a heartfelt presentation.

This is a unique place to "immerse" in the confluence of the Mosel River and the Rhine. In addition, there is a memorial to the Berlin Wall nearby and a Cross of the German Order on the wall of a corner tower. History buffs will love it...

The junction of the MoSel and Rhine rivers, the location is perfect, a wonderful statue awaits you, there is a big castle opposite, you can easily reach there thanks to the cable car, there are cafes and restaurants 5 minutes away, Koblenz is a perfect and ideal city. Don't leave without stopping by

I found the Deutsches Eck very impressive and full of history. The monument is striking, and you get a great view of the rivers and the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. If you are in Koblenz, I highly recommend visiting. It's also a short walk to the beautiful old town. The cable car is easy to reach from there too.

Kasun A — Google review

Nice spot, where the Mosel and the Rhine rivers meet. The Kaiser Wilhelm Monument is also impressive! It was rather quiet today since it was windy and cold, but it’s a popular place and I believe some river cruises, like Viking, come here. Check it out 👍🏻

André M — Google review

Beautiful place to visit. Usually crowded. There are many food/drinks places nearby. Also a garden to sit and relax. We can see amazing view of this place from the castle that is next to it. One can clearly see 2 rivers coming together at the corner. Must visit place.

Radhika K — Google review

Deutsches Eck offers a picturesque view where the Rhine and Moselle rivers meet. The iconic equestrian statue and nearby cafes enhance the experience. Perfect spot to soak in history and enjoy the scenic beauty. Do take a cable car ride to the Ehrenbreitstein fortress to enjoy the majestic view from top. Tickets cost 15€ for both sides.

Fortress

Sights & Landmarks

The substantial stronghold housing the state museum of ancient artifacts, along with special exhibitions and war memorials, is known as the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. Positioned on a mountain bearing the same name, this fortress was constructed by Prussian forces between 1817 and 1828. However, there had been a previous fortress on this site until it was demolished by the French in 1801.

Very neat fortress they have Rotating art galleries and make great use of the space with concerts in the summer and fall. Lots of historic things to see and great views there is also a restaurant and Cafe.Plus there is a play ground on the grounds near by aswell as an observation deck to enjoy the breath taking views.

Verdiente Bewertung von 5 Sternen aufgrund der Lage sowie seit längeren das Erreichen mit der neuen Seilbahn. Hervorzuheben ist das organisieren des Feuerwerkes -Rhein in Flammen- auf der Festung. Jedes Jahr immer ein neues Erlebnis. Sollte jeder einmal im Leben l i v e gesehen haben.(Translated by Google)Deserved rating of 5 stars due to the location and the ability to reach it with the new cable car for a long time. What should be highlighted is the organization of the fireworks display - Rhine in Flames - at the fortress. Always a new experience every year. Everyone should see live once in their life.

Dieter B — Google review

You could spend EASILY 3-4 hours here and feel like you haven't seen everything or taken in the views. This place is HUGE.Go down every tunnel or stairs you find that is not closed off and you will discover something totally new. Take a map or keep track of where you have been on Google.Bathrooms in the middle were clean and stocked. No food was there in Feb. Gift shop was cute and the lady working the counter was VERY kind to us. Spoke English well.

I had an amazing visit to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress recently! This historical gem offers a perfect blend of rich history and stunning views. Exploring the well-preserved fortress was like stepping back in time, and the informative displays added depth to the experience. The panoramic views of the Rhine River and Koblenz are absolutely breathtaking from the top. The well-maintained pathways and knowledgeable staff made the visit enjoyable and educational. Whether you're a history buff or simply seeking panoramic beauty, Ehrenbreitstein Fortress is a must-visit destination. Don't miss it!

Spectacular cable car ride up but the excitement kind of stops them. Found the internal routes and displays inside the castle quite boring.Also had limited English descriptions.There was a nice restaurant within the grounds.One of those “do it once” experiences

Mit der Seilbahn auf die Festung, es gibt auch die Möglichkeit mit dem Auto an zu Reisen aber absolut entspannt ist es mit der Seilbahn und das Kombiticket ( Seilbahn, Eintritt Festung) für 19€ war auch gerechtfertigt. Von der Seilbahn bis zum Eingang der Festung sind es gemütlichtliche 3-5 Minuten. Am Eingang gibt es eine Sanitäteinrichtung und in der Festung sind auch mehrere Toiletten. Die Festungen ist sehr weitläufig und in den verschiedenen Gebäuden gibt es unterschiedliche Ausstellungen. Für das leibliche Wohl ist auch gesorgt, Kiosk, Restaurant, und eine Jugendherberge. Wir waren insgesamt 2h auf der Festung.(Translated by Google)With the cable car to the fortress, there is also the option of traveling by car, but it is absolutely relaxed with the cable car and the combination ticket (cable car, entrance to the fortress) for 19€ was also justified. It takes a comfortable 3-5 minutes from the cable car to the entrance to the fortress. There is a medical facility at the entrance and there are also several toilets in the fortress. The fortress is very spacious and there are different exhibitions in the different buildings. Physical well-being is also provided, a kiosk, restaurant and a youth hostel. We were at the fortress for a total of 2 hours.

This is a must visit place in Koblenz. There are many ways to get here. The easiest way is to take a cable car from Deutsches eck. The cable car and fortress ticket cost around eur 17 altogether. You can also go there by car. There are hiking paths as well if you like to explore by walk. The view from top is breathtaking. You can see the two rivers merging and also the full bird view of Koblenz city. The fortress is very big from inside and lots of places to explore. Audio guides are available to learn about the history of the fortress.

Very beatiful and impressive place to visit. Unfortunately al lot of information is only given in German. They could work on that. They have a nice information book at the entrance. A place you need to see when you are visiting Koblenz

Lianne B — Google review

What can I say except for wow! Simply an amazing place, perhaps the most famous and popular landmark and tourist place in Koblenz. The cable car ride up from close to the Deutsches Eck (the German Corner) to this fortress is just as good an experience as the fortress itself.On the cable ride, enjoy the views from above. At the fortress, enjoy some spectacular views of where the two rivers meet and enjoy the fortress itself with rich pieces of history. Not sure if I can post these pictures as it may not pass Google’s policies.The fortress is massive and you can easily spend over half a day there. It has been said that evening views, especially during and after sunset are the best views, but the best views can be any time of the day.A clear and sunny day is the best time for going to the fortress, having a walk around and inside the various rooms, these offer displays of some nice history along with some audio guidance.The cost to enter is not expensive, and it is a once in a lifetime experience, so if you are in or around Koblenz, this is a must-see place.Even if you are in Germany, travelling to places like Koblenz is very simple by train. On another note, if you don’t want to take the cable car to the fortress, it is also close to a local train station in Koblenz - it is the station Koblenz-Ehrenbreitstein, probably named after the fortress.

Phil T — Google review

Auf jeden Fall sehenswert. Eine sehr große Anlage mit viel Platz, dadurch auch bei großem Besucherandrang nicht überfüllt. Es empfiehlt sich mit der Ausstellung zur Geschichte der Festung anzufangen, diese ist klein und links vom Eingang, nach dem Durchgang. Alles ist gepflegt, manchmal könnten mehr Tafeln mit Erklärungen was was ist befestigt sein. Am besten ist es oben bei der Festung zu parken, der Parkplatz ist groß und dann mit der Seilbahn in die Stadt zu fahren und später wieder hoch. In der Nähe der Festung ist ein großer Spielplatz und ein Café.(Translated by Google)Definitely worth seeing. A very large facility with plenty of space, so it is not overcrowded even when there are large crowds of visitors. It is advisable to start with the exhibition on the history of the fortress, which is small and to the left of the entrance, after the passage. Everything is well maintained, sometimes there could be more boards with explanations of what is what. It's best to park at the top of the fortress, the parking lot is large and then take the cable car into the city and back up later. Near the fortress there is a large playground and a café.

Caroline M — Google review

Not by camper. We parked the camper yet were told that the 7-8 meter behind ot was not enough room for cars on the lot to pass. Real unpleasant an we were shown to some weird area 1 km away - could not find. Anyway walked about a km to enter. 8 EUR/person to get that one photo is not worth it. The fortress itself was an enigma and the signage did not help at all. The place remains an enigma, clean and tidy but obviously somebody just forgot that the tourists also would like to know/learn something. Restaurant, fastfood & toilets are good. Would not recommend for those travelling by camper. Just not worth it.

TETRIX M — Google review

Haben die Festung Ehrenbreitstein an einen Wochentag besucht. Die Festung ist zu empfehlen. Man hat einen schönen Ausblick über der Mosel und den Rhein Als wir dort waren hat das Theater geprobt. Zusätzlich haben wir 2 Ausstellungen angeschaut. Die sehr interessant waren.(Translated by Google)Visited Ehrenbreitstein Fortress on a weekday. The fortress is recommended. You have a beautiful view over the Moselle and the Rhine. When we were there the theater was rehearsing. We also viewed 2 exhibitions. Which were very interesting.

Ehrenbreitstein Fortress offers an unparalleled experience for history enthusiasts and sightseers alike. Situated majestically overlooking the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine rivers, the fortress provides a breathtaking panorama that alone justifies a visit. What truly sets this fortress apart, however, are its numerous exhibits housed within its galleries. These exhibits not only delve into the rich history of the castle itself but also illuminate the fascinating stories of the surrounding area. From ancient tales to modern developments, visitors are treated to a comprehensive journey through time. The journey to the fortress is an adventure in itself, thanks to the exhilarating cable car ride over the Rhine. As you ascend, the view becomes increasingly mesmerizing, offering a unique perspective of the river and its surroundings. The €19 combined price for the cable car and entry is a steal considering the unparalleled experience it offers. For those planning a visit, I highly recommend purchasing tickets online to bypass any queues at the box office. This ensures a hassle-free experience, allowing more time to immerse oneself in the fortress's wonders. Overall, Ehrenbreitstein Fortress is a must-visit destination that seamlessly blends history, adventure, and breathtaking views into an unforgettable experience.

Definitely is worthwhile visiting this massive fortress on top of the hill. Best way to get up there to take the cable car. You could see the older and the newer parts of the fortress. Great views of the two rivers meeting together. Easil can spend a couple of hours up there. Breathtaking pictures of the entire valley.

Charles L — Google review

Stiff walk up from the bottom of the hill (or take the sloped elevator). Great park like area on top and the fortress is amazing and offers fantastic views over the “deutsches Eck” and Koblenz and the surrounding rhine valley. It’s a great starting long to join the “Rheinsteig” hike along the river rhine. Beautiful views, not too difficult to walk and a great few hours in the hills and forests of this wonderful part of Germany. The rhine valley offers some of the best sceneries in Germany. And when you arrive in Vallendar, have a snack or dinner at the Traube restaurant or simply sit at the Rhine jetty and watch the current.

The castle is a fantastic experience in itself, taking us back to the old Prussian times. There are sound effects from that time at numerous places along the walkway. I reached the fortress via the cable car, which, though was a good experience appeared a bit costly. Some of the rooms inside the castle contains info from the old times and overall it is a great way to spend about an hour. Most people however were focussed on the view point from where you can see the Mosel river flowing in to the Rhine.

Partha G — Google review

A beautiful castle. It is easy to get from one bank to the other with the cable car. There are also many facilities. I really liked the medieval landscape.

We went there on a public holiday using the Seilbahn. The view was awesome from the sky. So I totally recommend taking the Seilbahn, especially since it’s relatively fast. The fortress has so much charm but it’s huge. Thus, some nice walking shoes would be suitable. If it rains, buy a rain cover at the ticket shop. Make sure to visit wine tasting area. They have a good variety. Also, don’t miss a chance to try on the ancient Roman costumes and jewellery. Finally, spend some time at the Gesten expo. You will enjoy the interaction with the selected games and technology.It was a great experience.

Vanick K — Google review

Quite big fortress with lots to explore. They have several pieces of the fortress' history on display and some rooms equipped with furniture showing how they used to live there.You can easily spend a few hours here just walking around and exploring all the big and small paths around and through the fortress.There's also a cafe at the top with the best view looking over Koblenz and moderate prices.The fortress is accessible by foot but you'll have to bring some time. The easiest way is to use the cable car while also enjoying the view across the river(s).

Castles

Rheinfels Castle, dating back to the 13th century, is the largest and one of the most enchanting castles along the River Rhine. Despite being mostly in ruins, it offers a captivating experience with its tall gate tower, remnants of apartments, and cellar. The former castle chapel now houses a museum that delves into its rich history. Visitors can enjoy a short hike from the river to explore medieval artifacts and take in stunning views from the watchtower.

Beautiful town less than 50 mins from Ktown. Features a gorgeous Rhein River waterfront with a string of 20 plus castles along the way. Rheifels is a burgruine (ruin) that was built in 1245 and went under siege for 2 years straight when Count Dieter raised the toll to cross the river. The castle used to be massive which is why you find lots of ruin favorites such as gravestones, a large cellar, the washroom, etc. There is a recreated apothecary, and the castle itself offers the best view of the city of St. Goar, where it is located. You can spend a day or a weekend there at the Castle hotel, or at many of the Inns down on the main drag where you can do wine tastings and shop. Its a win win situation.

One of the largest castles on this stretch of the Rhine, these ruins are part of a deceptively large military complex. The main part of the castle including a small museum can be freely walked for a small fee. The larger complex however is only accessible through guided tours.

Very beautiful old ruins with alot of history. The staff were very friendly and spoke both fluent German and English, and gave us a short history of the castle. The price of admission was was reasonable and the COVID restrictions were not difficult to work with. There is plenty of parking at the castle entrance, however the walk from St. Goar to the castle was nice and not very demanding. Highly recommend visiting the castle.

A monumental ruin. Unfortunately, at the time of my visit, the entire castle was disfigured by various fences, stages and musical equipment for an evening concert. Don't do it on such a scale, you spoil the visit for ordinary tourists.

Fantastic castle with lots of fun areas to explore. The place is vast and has lots of towers and tunnels that our kids loved. The views of the river and surrounding vineyards were fantastic. The hotel looked very nice. We parked our bikes in town and hiked up to the castle, which was a nice steep walk. Definitely worth the visit.

There are so many castles along the river Rhine and Rheinfels castle is one that shouldn't be missed. It is a very short hike to the castle from the river. The castle ruins give you a feeling of going back to the medieval era. The view from the watch tower overlooking the river and the chain of mountains is beautiful. If you like to see some medieval artifacts, there is a museum inside this castle that you can visit.

Extensive ruins. Nice little museum. Pricing very reasonable. We stayed at the hotel across the street which makes it very convenient. They are doing a lot of restoration at the castle so some areas are off limits. Views of Rhine from many points surround the rings.

Very nice place, by the Rheins River and a lot of history.

Sandra R — Google review

Very interesting castle that dates back to the 1400s.It's a 6 euros entry fee, and the gatekeeper is quite a character!Plenty of paths to explore the castle, if you're afraid of heights do not go to the clock tower.Plenty of paid parking, you shouldn't need more than an hour and a half unless you plan on eating at the restaurant.

Brokk — Google review

This is an awesome castle that you only get to see part of.. It is the largest fortress on the Rhine. We didn't get to see many areas since there were no tour guides available however there was plenty to see. A visit to the museum on-site is a must for the history of the castle

Perched atop a hill, the Niederwald Monument commemorates the unification of Germany following the Franco-Prussian War. Accessible by foot or cable car, it offers stunning views of the Rhine River and valley below. The monument features an imposing figure of Germania, symbolizing unity and strength. Visitors can take a cable car ride through picturesque vineyards or hike through beech forests to reach this historical site.

The view is breathtaking. The monument is worthy to see. United we win. The historical perspective is one of the kind.. bucket list checked.

A very beautiful, hilarious and mighty monument...you simply must respect it, the builders and creators as well, you must love the place. The view is breathtaking, it is picturesque and just overwhelming...the river Rhein, the little town, the small hills around...everything....and if you decide to walk up to it through the wineyard you will enjoy it even more (just take enough water)

Dzenis I — Google review

Stunning view over the river Rhine and vineyards. The statue 🗽 is very impressive too. You can take the cable car from Rudeshiem for 10 EUR return, or you can trek on the trail through the beautiful vineyards.

Lucas Z — Google review

If you have physical limitations, take the chair lift. If not, it's worth the uphill hike through the vineyards. There is no shade on the hike up, so be prepared, take water. The sun beats down on you for a while. The monument is stunning and grand, not to mention the view over the Rhein. There's a restaurant at the top of the hill, in case you need refreshments after the hike. This was my 2nd time visiting so it was worth seeing more than once.

Beautiful views !! It is worth it. Sitting there feels like holidays abroad. You can have a good rest here and it is nice for evening walks.

A very impressive monument built in the late 1800’s to commentate the unification of Germany. THIS IS NOT A WAR MEMORIAL .There is ample paid parking on a very well organised and maintained site which is well lit and has a lot of seating offering fantastic views of the Rhein river and of course the memorial itself. There’s a very good restaurant here on site with a good selection and outdoor seating area too. The memorial is also accessible to and from Rüdesheim via a cable car lift.

We loved the hike to the monument. Only 87 meters above sea level and just over 200 stairs, it was a perfect balance of exercise and enjoyment.A must see if you are visiting.

Great place for a nice long walk or even a bike ride. Mix with beautiful forest parts and an old building with a large monument which was a highlight for me. Not forgetting the view. Amazing

David H — Google review

Impressive monument.Took the Ring tour for 10€. Seilbahn up to monument provides beautiful view of the Rüdesheim area and across the river with vineyards beneath. Hike after the monument through the forest, then the sesselbahn takes you down to Assmannshausen, from where a ferry takes you back to Rüdesheim, providing excellent view of vineyards, castles and ancient ruins from the Rhein river.

Kana M — Google review

Astonishingly beautiful scenery and view, even during windy winter time. The Monument's massiveness is suprising and impressive, there are many wineyard paths to walk in the nearby area, a restaurant, and soon after Covid they will open the cableway (Seilbahn).Parking is 8€ for the whole day, right on top of the hill- limited spaces, and a very slow ticket machine, though.

We got up here by a very scenic cable car ride🚠 Cute little cable car for 2 person! The view over the Rhine river is quite amazing with fields of vineyard along the river!

Legolas N — Google review

Loved our small little trip.The chairlift was extremely safe and totally worth it. The view from above was the best thing. The monument was spectacular and the history behind it was intresting.Why i am giving it 4 stars is simple we paid for the boat to get to the monument and also the chairlift still when we reached the top we had to pay for toilet. They should atleast not ask extra.

You still have to queue even if you buy tickets in advance but its not a long wait. The ride on the individual cable cars is spectacular. The view at the monument is amazing and the stories behind it are fascinating. It's very peaceful up there. Gift shop and snacks available. The greatest Elvis filmed in number 76. We also came down in number 76.

This place is worth the time and effort to visit. You can actually walk up to this place from the town of Rudesheim. The cable car is the way to go up. If you have the time, you can walk Babcock down through the vineyards with the constant beautiful scenery of the Rhine River as you walk down.The history of this place is explained in several languages when you get up to the monument.

TSK — Google review

This is, quite simply, a stunning memorial to the Franco-Prussian War. And if you are unclear as to the details surrounding this major conflict between the Second French Empire and the North German Confederation, oh my - just do a quick bit of research - this war forever changed the face of the European Continent and shaped it into what we more or less see today. This war changed everything. And this monument is beyond gorgeous and, whether you would have been on either side of the battlefield, this monument is meaningful.

Christopher C — Google review

This monument is situated in one of the most beautiful places of Germany called Rudesheim. Surrounded by lush green vineyards and easily accessible by a cable car which provides views which will stimulate anyone for years after their visit. A mist visit for anyone going to Germany.While returning we took the walking trail which passes through the vineyards, slowly ascending from the beautiful birds eye views to the green surroundings of the vineyards.The entire trail is a few kilometres long, and is worth taking.

Sachin Y — Google review

Interesting and confusing. Stunning piece of art. Totally picturesque setting... The perfect place for a statue like this.But....gives me some pause for reflection about Germany's history.To be fair about it, our own isn't so spotless, either.Germania is a fitting symbol for the unified people, and a striking piece of sculpture.

Mark S — Google review

In and of itself, the monument is impressive and worth a visit. From the platform of the monument, you also have a great panoramic view of the Rhine River, the vineyards, Rudesheim and Bingen am Rhien, etc. below. Of course, apart from the views, there is a lot to see and experience in this area.This makes it an ideal place for a day trip from nearby cities like Frankfurt. It takes less than 1 hour by car or 2 hours by train from Frankfurt.

Michael C — Google review

Niederwald Landscape Park near the Rhein river in Rüdeshiem, Germany. This is another spot where you can take your family for a chill and relaxing tour. In order to go to the top, we gotta take the tram which was free. The view was breathtaking and don’t get me started on the amazing interactions with the people there. It was lovely experience and I hope to go back very soon :)

Beautiful place. You can see the river valley.It is a good idea to bring a blanket, because there's no so many benches.Visitors have different options how to get to the hill. You can walk or take a lift.Personally I recommend going up with the lift and then walking down. It is interesting to walk between grapes.Keep in mind that in sunny days there is not a lot of shadows.

The Gutenberg Museum is a fascinating destination for book enthusiasts to explore the history of printing. The museum boasts displays of Gutenberg Bibles, the famous invention by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century that revolutionized book production with movable type printing. Visitors can discover how printing developed independently in both Eastern and Western cultures. While some exhibits lack English translations, English-speaking tour guides are available to help visitors navigate through the rich history of this revolutionary technology.

I definitely recommend visiting the museum to enjoy the revolutionary invention of printing and how it has transformed the world. It can give a glimpse of the current change with social media and how it is transforming politics and life all over the globe.

It’s a great place if history of things interests you. I was very impressed with this museum and the history it had to offer. Do get the audio device for a guided audio tour otherwise you will be lost inside. Don’t miss the narrated printing press history tour which is in the mail hall downstairs. If you’re lucky you may be gifted a scroll.

It makes you surprised, how the first book was published and how they were designed perfectly. If you are a designer or have a good eye for perfect things, just go and have an excursion in its 4 floor building, exploring the history of print, print machines and first original books and publications.If you are in Mainz and don't know what to do after lunch and before sunset, Gutenberg museum will entertain you very well.

Azam R — Google review

Great museum for book nerds to learn how books happened. Must-go if you’re in the area. Definitely learned how printing was invented in both the East and West. The important exhibits had English descriptions, but the other half didn’t have any which is a big bummer. Glad we had our own English-speaking tour guide to walk us through the history, which helped a lot!

Jeremy A — Google review

The library is closed at the moment. Excellent museum, it was very informative but it is mostly in German. If you are an english speaker, the audio guide is a must although it is €3.50 extra and you have to leave some form of ID. If you’re a student you can get the tickets for €3. The museum has 4 floors and ranges from the history of the printing press, techologies from other countries (Korea, Japan, China), Islam, and its influence in journalism. I spent 3-4 hours there. You can store your bag at the locker for €1 which you will get back when you unlock it.

マインツにあるグーテンベルクの事績と印刷の歴史の博物館。42行聖書から始まり、活字の発展やグラデーションの濃度の仕様など、印刷が発展する過程の技術をずらりと並べています。印刷機などもたくさん置いてありますし、石版の版などもあって見応えがけっこうあります。また、ヨーロッパ以外の印刷についても展示が設けられていました。一階で入場券を購入します。ロッカーもあるのですが、生憎2€コインの持ち合わせがなく使うことができませんでした。両替はしてもらえないので、荷物をロッカーに入れたい方は事前にコインの確認をしておくのがお勧めです。(Translated by Google)Museum of Gutenberg's achievements and the history of printing in Mainz. Starting with the 42-line Bible, the book lays out the technology that led to the development of printing, including the development of type and specifications for gradation density.There are many printing machines, and there are also lithographic plates, so it's quite a sight to see.There were also exhibits about printing from outside Europe.Purchase admission tickets on the first floor. There are lockers, but unfortunately I didn't have the 2€ coins so I couldn't use them. Currency cannot be exchanged, so if you want to put your luggage in a locker, we recommend checking your coins beforehand.

This museum presents the development of printing technology around the world from a very objective and neutral perspective. The museum has a collection of Gutenberg's earliest printed works and printing machines of various periods. In addition, the organizer also provided a live demonstration of printing technology, as well as a short film of Gutenberg's life in German or English.

The very first impression was the employee, who ran after me and blocked me to use the toilet before I buy the ticket. It is insane, I have never expected such a medieval absurd in the german museum. He also told me that it is not a public toilet, but the toilet itself does not look good. If these people so strict about using the toilet, they should at least take care about cleanness and so on. This time there was no soap at all, for example.After visiting the museum I asked for guestbook. Aunt on the cashier seven times reasked me what I mean and then said that they do not have any. "Website", she told me. Bloody website of this museum, like many in Germany, is from early 2000s. And the email in the contact section is corrupted. If you will try to copy it, you will lost "@" symbol and the dot before domain zone. Geniusly done, I can say as a web-developer.What about the museum itself, it is pretty interesting, but there is no info how these devices work. Nothing. You can just stare at them and that's, basically, it. I tried to check some info in internet, but obviously there is no signal in the building, and there is no WiFi.The only positive thing is fair price - 5 EUR, and it was possible to pay with card.I would like to see some answers here.

Fascinating history in both exhibits and narration. The Gutenberg press and its technologies as displayed and explained was fascinating.Extensive collection of printing presses from the original Gutenberg to dozens of extensions and innovations.Very comprehensive explanation of type setting and page construction.If you're like me and you're naturally curious about all the details of how something works and why it works that way, then you'll love this place.

Mark S — Google review

A huge museum about the history of printing and printing presses with a nice garden outat the front.With a 5€ entry free (3€ for reduced such as students), you can explore the 4 levels of the building which covers the history of printing all over the globe.They also offer a live events every half an hour or so (including a live printing demonstration) but they are all carried out in German.Worth every penny as you can easily spend 2-3 hours going through the whole museum.

Shizu — Google review

Wonderful exhibition, which I was very much looking forward to but I honestly found it really hard to follow with the audio set (English). Difficult to know which floor I was on as no obvious numbers displayed and all the experts in the audio were in German and not translated to the different languages offered. I felt I missed out on lots of information because of that. From reading other reviews I think the best way to see this exhibition is with a guided tour.Also need to note on website that ID needed to get audio.

Insgesamt ein schönes Museum mit vielen interessanten Ausstellungsstücken. Man kann zwischen einer Stunde (schnell alles anschauen) und mehreren Stunden (alles durchlesen) verbringen.

Very interesting museum about Gutenberg Printing Press and the history of printing press in general. They have an amazing collection of old books including one of the original Gutenberg Bibles. Also contains an interesting exhibition about printing presses in eastern countries. The only downside is that in a few exhibitions the descriptions are only in German. The entrance to the museum costs only 5 euros.

Nice exhibition. Staff speak English, but I wish they could offer some English guide (maybe they have, but I didn’t ask). The vault with Gutenberg bible is a little bit dark and hot - I understand the darkness, but do books like the high temperature there?I appreciate that they have a section to introduce the print technology in east Asia, and have covered writing systems in the rest of the world. Must be a fun place for school kids to explore.

Catholic cathedral

Sights & Landmarks

The Mainz Cathedral, a Romanesque structure with a Baroque spire and an ornate cloister, is renowned for its elaborate tombstones. The cathedral is one of the largest in Europe, second only to the Vatican in size. Its architecture and history are fascinating, making it an absolute must-see destination. The cathedral's impressive grandeur sets it apart from others and showcases beautiful design elements in its construction.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon with my husband and three kids ages 6, 4, and 2. This is the best cathedral I've been to with kids, mainly because there was beautiful organ music playing the whole time that made it much less stressful having semi-loud children. There was SO much to look at, and we loved strolling through all the different side rooms and halls. I'm not normally a cathedral person but we thoroughly enjoyed this one. Not a ton of things that the kids wanted to touch but couldn't - most of it is high up where they can't reach, or blocked off. The bathrooms were so-so; 50 cents per person and small. We parked nearby at Parkhaus am Brand, which was an easy-to-get-to underground garage and very reasonably priced (12 euros for 7ish hours).

$$$$very expensive

Fine dining restaurant

The Main Tower Restaurant & Lounge offers stunning views of Frankfurt from its53rd floor bar. It's a favorite spot for bankers and visitors alike, with dishes including international cuisine.

Wonderful restaurant with delicious, creative food at the top of a highrise in downtown Frankfurt. Everything served was individually prepared with the utmost attention to detail. The knowledgeable staff explained every dish chef prepared with complete understanding. The wine pairings complemented and completed every dish. Just when we thought we were done, a wonderful assortment of petite four arrived to finish our delicious meal. The only issue is there is no parking on site, but a parking garage is a couple blocks down the street.

We wanted to have some drinks on a Thursday’s evening. When we arrive, they told us with 2 doses you need to have a test. So we went outside to do test waiting 20 minutes outside for our results to enter the restaurant. When we came second time with our results, they told us we should have a reservation. We called and then the security told us we should order 30 euro per person minimum.So we went away…Seems they didn’t want us, like their guests.PS two stars just for Corona safety checks, otherwise one star.

Kateryna H — Google review

Excellent cuisine with a view. The Main Tower delivers a beautifu viewl of the city and some delicious molecular gastronomy, but lacks in ambience and service.The setting is a bit austere and does not have the opulence of some other fine dining establishments. The service is typical German: to the point. The dishes were explained well, but it was all transactional.If you don't order the wine course - good luck. Cocktails and other drinks were hard to come by - my sole cocktail was never offered for a refill, water refills were also rather slow.The pace of the dinner is very slow, one truly can relax and enjoy the meal over 4+ hours with the nice sunset view of the city. All the courses were expertly crafted and very good to exceptional. Only a few, such as the quail for main course was sub-par.It is a bit pricey and I must admit the experience, while very good, just didn't have the wow factor we were looking for.

I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. They asked me to give them a 5-star rating and write a positive review in exchange for money. This is highly unethical and makes me question the authenticity of their other reviews. I cannot recommend a place that engages in such dishonest practices.

Since I live in Frankfurt (which is about 3 years) I've always wished to experience this amazing Panorama Restaurant, highlight of the city. I had luck, as I called only 10min before my arrival to book a table, and had luck to receive one (normally one needs to book days earlier, and sometimes weeks).Needless to say I was amazed with the beautiful panorama and the simple, yet sophisticated interior of the restaurant.Food was absolutely delicious. Some of the ingredients were complete new to me (as I usually stick to me personally known recepies).Every course was presented in details by the competent and very polite and professional waiter.Special thanks to the waiter Mr. Wilhelm (I hope I rememmber correctly) who made our experienced so pleasant.With regards to the price, I would not say it is expensive. The price suits the overall sensation (the spectacular view and meals) + location.Best Regards,Nevena

Very nice restaurant and bar, friendly staff and ambiance. I i came here after finishing the main tower top floor. Drinks are of reasonable price and the seatings allow you to enjoy the view of the city from up high. I did not eat anything so cannot comment on the quality of the food, however where given truffle infused popcorn as a side to my beer and it tastes amazing.

They get Indian people on telegram to make people review them by offering them 5 bucks per review, reviews are not real careful shady buisness practice.

Food was mostly good - appetizers and cocktails were very good, main courses were mediocre, desserts were many different things that were good but did nothing for each other.The service was both patronizing and charming. It was obvious the waitress thought we are not sophisticated enough for the restaurant because we didn't have a reservation and were not dressed. We found it mostly amusing, as the food was very old fashioned as in strong 80s influences in the presentation and mix of overpowering flavors. For example, the lobster bisque was more of a fish bouillon with strong saffron presence. It was good - but it has been a long time since I ate something like that.The lamb main dish was excellent; the veal was very boring, both the meat and the baked pasta that accompanied it. The sweetbread that made me order it was hardly noticeable. Fish was ok, no more and no less.The view compensates for almost everything and it was pleasant and fun. If you are willing to spend at least €80 per person before drinks you can do much worse.

Excellent lunch and excellent service. Prix Fixe menu with either two or three courses and two choices at each course. I did the three courses with a wine pairing with each course. Fabulous views at every table. Restaurant is on 53rd floor. Allow 5-10 minutes wait for security screening and elevator which is also taking tourists to 55th floor observation deck. They pay 7.50 each for that. No charge if going to restaurant.

After revamping their menu and concept the food is even better than it used to be, whereas it was once excellent now it's phenomenal. It's an experience in itself to be served by the professional team, many special thanks to Mr. Willi.

The Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof is a grand station adorned with Neo-Renaissance accents that serves both regional and long-distance routes. The ground floor hosts platforms for long-distance trains while the underground provides access to the S-bahn and U-bahn systems. Facilities such as paid restrooms, food and beverage shops, and seating areas are available within the station.

The wonderful old architecture of the railway station🤩 During the pick time is a bit more crowded but that's everywhere. The navigation signs are still very easily visible and understandable.There is a plenty of different connections across the city near surrounding and far distance connections.Included a lot of food stores for the convenience of traveling or short stops. Thank you 🤘🏼🚀

This is the main station of Frankfurt. The ground floor has the platforms for all the long distance trains and the underground has access to the S-bahn and U-bahnThe station itself has a facilities such as paid WC, food and beverage shops and seating areas. But the area just outside the station is a bit dingy and shady with a lot of littering and loitering

May 2024I visited Frankfurt Central Station after 4 years. Frankfurt is well connected to most of European cities. The station is quite busy and has all the amenities.Interestingly there is Indian Curry shop inside the train station. You can also take regional trains as well as urban trains. The place is fully accessible.

It’s the main train station of Frankfurt where you can get train to most of the European countries. I took direct train to Linz, Austria. Although it’s a huge and crowded station but there is no proper waiting area that facilitate you during the cold weather. Tram and bus stops are available near the train station.

It is a beautiful train station with its own architectural features.There are many convenient services in the train station, such as DB information desk, bakery selling German specialty breads, fast food restaurants, mini-markets, etc.But the sanitary condition, not particularly clean and hygienic. There are a lot of pigeons in this train station, resulting in a lot of bird poop, and there are some homeless vagrants.

This station is the backbone of the transportation system in frankfurt as you can get Trams, metro, national and international trains from this place, but still it's not crowded as we see in many places, sometimes it's a bit confusing but one can manage if they check the details properly.Moreover sunset view is amazing from this station.

This is the central station of Frankfurt, Frankfurt bhanhaf. Many food outlets are there. You can get Sanacks in 2 euro. We have pizza in 3 Euro. Mac D, burger King is also there. Very clean station. For oneday city pass you have to pay 5.35 Euro and for airport transfer 5.20 Euro.

The main reason I choose Frankfurt Haputbahnhof as the starting point for my personal travel is that there are quite a variety of public transportation tools that can easily to use from day to mid-night. No matter what time it is, the crowd is obviously everywhere inside or outside this station. There is also a paid toilet on the underground floor here and a variety of restaurants are also quite sufficient for traveler's basic requirement. I hope to have the other opportunity again to take different long-distance trains here in the future.

The train station is very large and busy with lots of services to different areas. It is very busy and crowded all the time. You can also transfer to U-Baun and S-Baun inside the train station too. Furthermore, there are a lot of cafes and restaurants so that you can find your desired dishes easily

Very busy train platform, but easy to locate the appropriate train based on all the signage and platform updates. There's plenty of food shops, places to sit and wait. They have luggage storage for anyone looking to leave over the day while walking the city. Wasn't many people to ask for help when trying to find something specific.

Quite crowded but I like the multiple food options and the open skylight. The trains are a little confusing to navigate but not too bad once you've gotten the hang of it. Fairly timely, in my experience.

Ayon I — Google review

One of the most beautiful railway stations in Germany in my opinion. Very very busy but loads of food and drink options. Finding the right train can be a bit of a challenge so keep an eye on the signing. And in the evening the "bad" people come out to play so keep your property close.

De3DPrintman — Google review

Liked the architecture of the station. It's very huge and gorgeous. It's a typical terminus station where the railroads end in the station, so you can just walk to the end of the platform and move to another one without using the bridge. There are fast-food restaurants and convenience stores in the station.

Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof is the bustling main train station of Frankfurt. Very busy at times. There are many food kiosks and other services available. Unfortunately there are some transient/homeless people who wander through the station, asking for money. The immediate area outside the hauptbahnhof is also a little sketchy, with some open drug dealing, but it's not unsafe. Deutsche Bahn runs a very efficient service, trains run very much on time.

A beautiful train station. It is huge and the architecture is beautiful. It brings back the old days of train travel. I just love the main terminal area where the trains arrive and depart.

The station is huge and has some stunning architecture. Inside is safe, clean and with plenty of police patrolling the platforms. Outside is a hive of homeless and junkies and on a night, you really feel unsafe. We found a small bar inside the station to hide up and wait for our train out of there.

Functional and practical.This has to be the most used train station in Europe for me. I lived here for two years in the 80s; I love train so much that I make my trips around it - it was great when German DB was reliable and dependable.Not during my last few trips, especially 2022. Accidents, delays ...Oh, I'm off the topic.This station although heavily used, but I don't think it has a supermarket ... foods / coffee bars are plentiful. Some under ground tunnels feels icky. Many buses and subways merge here (duh)

Irene E — Google review

A nice train station with a beautiful architecture. The main train station in Frankfurt with connections to almost all major cities across Germany and Europe. Signs are very well labeled making it a bit easy to navigate your way to the right platform, especially if you don’t speak German. There are many shops and restaurants to keep you busy as you wait for your train. There are also numerous public benches if you just want to chill and not spend a dime. It wasn’t that busy when I visited but a bit rush. Pretty sure it gets chaotic during rush hours. Good thing is they have service desks where you can visit any time and an attendant will help you find your way.

Large and efficient station, as one would expect from Germany. Trains that connect all over Germany and the rest of Europe including Amsterdam, Vienna and Basel.Tram and metro also connect to the station. Lots of electronic and physical signs so it's impossible to get the wrong train.Tons of cafe and sandwiches type places available as well as a few sit down restaurants and the usual junk fast food.Unique architecture here and it is a visual treat. Overall a very pleasant experience

The train station is beautiful! It has a historical charm that reminds me of Harry Potter heading to Platform 9¾. However, I must admit that the train system can be quite complicated, especially for non-German speakers or tourists in general. The costumer service desk is not very helpful, the workers have an attitude and are not willing to help. I accidentally boarded the wrong train and ended up receiving an 80 euro fine from one of the train ticket officials. It would be great if they could be more helpful and friendly towards tourists, offering guidance and assistance when needed.

The train station is HUGE. Lots of places to eat or drink inside.It was not easy to find help, and finding the proper train and seats was very difficult as first timers. Our train was probably 3 or 4 hours late, easily. So weird.The bathrooms cost euros.

The Romer, a medieval building with a stepped gable facade, is now the town hall with a balcony and many portraits. The building has served as Frankfurt's main city hall for 600 years.

The beautiful and picturesque old town is a must visit when in Frankfurt! Amazing half-timbered buildings that were once completely destroyed by Allied powers’ bombings during WWII, now rebuilt to their full glory! Drink your coffee or beer in one of the numerous cafes and beer houses on the square, admire the architecture, take photos and travel back in time with your imagination! 100% recommended!

Vor 25 Jahren war ich wöchentlich beruflich für ein Tag in Frankfurt, da blieb oft nicht viel Zeit für das Sightseeing. Jetzt haben wir einmal ein Wochenende im Hotel im Zentrum gebucht um die Sehenswürdigkeiten anzuschauen. Wenn man auf dem Markt vor den Römer kommt, wird man von den schönen alten Gebäuden überrascht. Ein richtig schöner Altstadt Charakter, besonders mit den kleinen Gassen, die davon noch abgehen und kleinere Lokale beherbergen. Also volle Empfehlung, man kann dies auch sehr gut mit der Besichtigung der Paulskirche verbinden, und zu Fuß ist es auch nicht weit bis zum Main Tower.(Translated by Google)25 years ago, I spent a day in Frankfurt every week on business and often didn't have much time for sightseeing. Now we have booked a weekend in a hotel in the center to see the sights. When you come to the market in front of the Roman, you will be surprised by the beautiful old buildings. A really nice old town character, especially with the small streets that lead off and are home to smaller restaurants. So full recommendation, you can easily combine this with a visit to the Paulskirche, and it's not far to walk to the Main Tower.

This one is in the Roemerberg (square) which was converted from a residence into a city hall in 1400’s.It is famous for its unique exterior that combines various styles during reconstruction.So you cannot help but taking pictures once you visit Reomerberg or this City Hall.And there is a fair (I don’t know there always is, but it seems there is) or some event where you can enjoy performance, sort of exhibition along with various kinds of food and drinks from stores or stalls.

Its nice - the only thing to see in frankfurt really, although none of it’s original of course - the entire city burnt down during the war. I guess that’s why there’s about 5 tourists in the entire city. Anyways, if you are visiting there’s like 1 tourist shop and a few cafes to outside in. The little church is super plain inside and not really worth going in

Frankfurt hat insofern alles richtig gemacht, als man nach den Zerstörungen des Krieges sich bemüht hat, seine Altstadt zu erhalten. Auf die Art und Weise kann man sich heute ein Bild davon machen, wie es hier vor mehreren Jahrhunderten aussah. Der Frankfurter Römer ist der zentrale Teil all dieser wieder errichteten Bauten und Renovierungen, denen erst vor wenigen Jahren noch weitere folgten. Mit Erfolg: Den hier überall zu vernehmenden Sprachen zufolge kommen Touristen aus der ganzen Welt hierher, um die romantischen Fachwerkgebäude und das prächtige Altstadtensemble zu bewundern. Sie kommen offensichtlich nicht, um die Frankfurter Skyline mit ihren zahlreichen Wolkenkratzern zu sehen.(Translated by Google)Frankfurt did everything right in that it tried to preserve its old town after the destruction of the war. In this way, you can now get an idea of ​​what it looked like here several centuries ago. The Frankfurter Römer is the central part of all these rebuilt buildings and renovations, which were followed by others just a few years ago. With success: according to the languages ​​spoken everywhere, tourists from all over the world come here to admire the romantic half-timbered buildings and the magnificent old town ensemble. You obviously don't come to see the Frankfurt skyline with its numerous skyscrapers.

Frankfurter Römer, the historic city hall of Frankfurt, is a cultural and architectural gem that serves as the symbolic heart of the city. This iconic building, with its distinctive stepped facade and three gables, stands proudly in the historic Altstadt (Old Town) and has been a witness to centuries of Frankfurt's history.The Römer's significance is not only architectural but also cultural, as it has been the site of various important events and ceremonies throughout the years. The Kaisersaal (Emperor's Hall) inside is a lavish space adorned with medieval and Renaissance artifacts, providing a glimpse into the city's past.Surrounded by quaint half-timbered houses and charming squares, the Frankfurter Römer is a focal point for both locals and visitors. The square in front of the Römer hosts public events, markets, and festivals, creating a lively atmosphere. The building's photogenic allure is enhanced by its role as the backdrop for numerous celebrations, including the city's annual Christmas market.A visit to the Frankfurter Römer is a journey through time, where the historic and contemporary elements of Frankfurt seamlessly converge. Its enduring charm makes it a must-see destination for those exploring the rich tapestry of Frankfurt's cultural heritage.

In 1899, the Grand Duke of Hesse, Ernst Ludwig, sought to revitalize Darmstadt's culture and commerce by inviting artists to establish a colony. This initiative led to the creation of Mathildenhöhe, a neighborhood adorned with remarkable buildings designed by prominent figures of Germany's Art Nouveau movement. Over the course of 13 years, four exhibitions showcased the work of renowned architects such as Peter Behrens, Hans Christiansen, and Joseph Maria Olbrich.

Bridge

Sights & Landmarks

Historic Sites

The Alte Brucke, constructed in 1788, is a historic pedestrian bridge that offers scenic views of city landmarks. The bridge was rebuilt in 1872 and again in 1988. Despite being more than 200 years old, the structure is still operational and remains one of the oldest bridges in Heidelberg.

So, not entirely about the bridge itself, but a small tip if you are visiting Heidelberg. This is an awesome place! For starters the beautiful view and park next to the river, we went for a walk through the "Philosophers weg" (perfect to get better view of the center, castle, bridge etc.) then we descended through the "schlange weg" and headed to the Old Bridge of Heidelberg into the town ( that if you didn't know has the longest street of stores in Germany!) Now I get when people say that they have lost their Heart in Heidelberg. I loved it!

Amazing famous bridge with beyond beautiful sights 😍. Pictures & videos don't do it justice. Everywhere you look here is a scenic view 📸.

Highly recommend checking them both out! 💯

It is June so the weather is very sunny that day we went to the bridge. These photos taken around 20:00, you can see it was still very bright there. So you can always be there after work to walk or having drink along the river.We walked around a bit to here after dinner, the view from the bridge was breath taking. That day there is a violinist playing on the bridge, everything together so dreamy.We walked all the way to another part of the bridge, sat there and watched cars. There were so many nice cars passing by which my boyfriend spotted from the bridge. So if your also a car enthusiastic, maybe that is something you can do let him do while you taking pictures on the bridge 🤣

Von der Altstadt kommt man direkt durch das alte Tor auf die Brücke. Von hier hat man eine tolle Aussicht zum Schloss. Auch kann man den Schiffen auf der Neckar zu sehen. Ein sehr schönes Fotomotiv. Zur Hoch Zeit ist es hier sehr voll.(Translated by Google)From the old town you can reach the bridge directly through the old gate. From here you have a great view of the castle. You can also see the ships on the Neckar. A very nice photo opportunity. It is very crowded here at peak times.

This red stone bridge is also called ‘Old bridge’ crossing the river of the Neckar, where you can have a good views of the town, the river and the Heidelberg castle as well. There are statues along the bridge, but the most famous one out of them may be the Monkey holding the mirror at the end.There is a saying that you may have some luck when you touch specific part of the monkey.The town or city is not that big so that you must visit this bridge.

Back to the fairytales times , take a stroll on the magical bridge on the Neckar river right about five minutes walk from Altstadt Heidelberg , it’s just indescribable scene.

Both the sides of the bridge are beautiful. If you are lucky you can witness a beautiful sunset on this bridge. They don’t allow vehicles so it’s very much friendly for walk

A marvellous piece of architecture dating 18th century. Surrounded by beautiful landscapes, it is absolutely wonderful to stand on this bridge. You can see the lush green mountains all around and the beautiful old town. The arches through which the river flows down are a treat to watch. Right next to the city center, this bridge is mostly filled with the people.

The whole area is full of amorous feelings of European towns - Beautiful river, green mountains, heritage buildings and peaceful atmosphere. You can enjoy the stunning and amazing scenery. Almost all the visitors are busy with taking photos. Besides, the bridge is also closed to old town with much convenience. Highly recommended!

Die alte Sandsteinbrücke über den Neckar ist für motorisierte Fahrzeuge gesperrt. Das ist gut so, denn bei den vielen Leuten, die da rumlaufen, wäre sowieso kein Durchkommen. Von der Bücke aus hat man einen schönen Blick auf das Schloss, die Sehenswürdigkeiten der Altstadt und den Königstuhl.(Translated by Google)The old sandstone bridge over the Neckar is closed to motorized vehicles. That's a good thing, because with so many people walking around there would be no way through anyway. From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the castle, the sights of the old town and the Königstuhl.

Is older than you thank you think. Very Well preserved so look modern. Info Tables with details about bridge are only in German language. But you can use wikipedia or buy a tourist guide -book about Heidelberg in tourist information center near main railway station. Bridge is without obvious tourist traps. I didn’t met any pickpocketers, scammers or beggars. Sometimes is there guitar musicians etc. During evening Saturday 9.3.2024 isn’t crowded! Just about 30 persons around.

Heidelberg Palace is a ruined red sandstone castle that sits on a hillside in the heart of Heidelberg, Germany. It is one of the most beautiful ruins in the world and is popular with tourists for its incredible views across the Neckar River. The only way to see the interior of Heidelberg Palace is by tour - after 6pm it is open to the public for free.

Beautiful, highly recommend for a lazy stroll. The views of the palace and the city from the terrace is breathtaking. We went on a rainy day and still managed to have a great time. There’s a short hike, moderately steep but absolutely doable. Wear comfy shoes. I saw some cars up there too, so I guess it’s possible.

Michele S — Google review

Really cool castle! The views of the city are incredible. The walk up is pretty steep so be prepared if you are going that way. Don’t miss the pharmacy museum and the giant wine barrel. The inner part of the castle costs 9 euros but it’s worth it. Also check out the garden in the back for even more great views.

Deependablereviews — Google review

If you like explore castles, this will be educational and fun.Starting with a hike up the castle is highly recommended! It made me appreciate so much modern amenities - there is a cable car you can purchase to go up and down as well (€9 will get a person up and down the hill for the castle). The grounds outside the castle is fun to walk around simply for the view it offers of the town. Once up at the castle level, get ticket to the courtyard. It can be included in the cable car. It will take maybe an hour or hour and half but seeing the massive wine barrel - it will be the biggest ever! and learning about the start of medicine/ pharmacy in Germany will be a fun experience in the museum inside. Wander around to the front of the castle the view is great not just the old town below but also the castle structure itself.Happy travels

A wonderful place to visit. This place was definitely a highlight on our trip. The Castle is situated just uphill over the old town of Heidelberg. The Castle itself gives amazing glimpses in times past and also great views of the town and valley.Inside the castle they also have a good restaurant (see menu below) and a pharmacy museum, which was surprisingly interesting. Also they have a gigantic barrel which is super impressive.

Andreas V — Google review

Some really great views of the city and the area below. A lot of good walking. There's plenty to see. However, I was disappointed that I was displaced from the ticket shop for not having the right mask on. Apparently the n95 mask that I had on did not suffice. I'm sure this will change in time.

Great attraction. There is a train to the top, I learned this after walking up the dang hill. Wonderful views of the city. The architecture and decor are awesome.. The statues have amazing details carved into them. The garden is huge. The pharmacy museum was very interesting and offers signage in multiple languages to include English. Definitely worth taking family when they visit. Bonus, it's open on Sundays.

Such a nice place!Both the castle and the gardens are worth a visit. You can access the gardens for free but will have to pay to enter the courtyard.Adult ticket is 9€ (August 23), which also includes access to the funicular going up and down.You'll need to pay an extra 6€ if you want to actually enter the castle which is only available through guided tours.

Great place to check out, it was wet and windy but we still enjoyed the site and your. Highly recommended the guided tour, they take you through the castle you can’t go through with a normal ticket. The garden was really cool with great city views and we could see the hustle bustle of Christmas markets from there too. The tour showed us some cool stuff in the castle and told us pretty detailed history about it. The tour group wasn’t huge either so could see/hear pretty much everything. Only 8-10 min walk up a hill or stairs to it also on old cobble stone walkways. Hope to see again some day.

The palace gardens are also a true wonder.

Heidelberg castle was the first German castle I visited 4 years ago. It did not disappoint. We took the funicular up and down, but I think you can easily walk it if you don't have any mobility issues. We were able to get the English speaking tour. Was a very thorough and informative tour. Well worth the entrance fee.

Deanna W — Google review

What a beautiful place. Rich with history. The palace is well worth taking a tour. I went with some friends and we really enjoyed taking photos and admiring at the grand and plentiful works of art. The view is incredible. The tour (i took in English) allows you to walk inside the hallways. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the palace.

Jason F — Google review

One of the best “ruins castles” in Germany. We really enjoyed the tour through the castle. The views of Heidelberg from the castle are fantastic as well. It is a bit of a hike to get up to the castle. I would recommend taking the tram if you have issues with climbing stairs and hills or have strollers or older folks with you. The climb is pretty significant. I have now been to this castle several times and I’d go back again and again. Such a great place with such an interesting history.

Kris A — Google review

It’s an amazing castle, I will tell any one about my visit there, the view from castle above the city is beautiful. If you would visit it, try to go before 5:30 pm, because the bus from down to castle through the mountain will close and last trip to enter it will on 5:30. It costs 14€ or 9€ for adults to buy a ticket. Garden around the castle is also nice. Enjoy 😊 (The stairs are long if you want to walk up, you can go up walking but maybe will be difficult for some people)

Samer F — Google review

Amazing place, I could expend days just wandering inside and outside the castle, is simply amazing. The views that has to offer are also out of this world! I bought the ticket for €14 that allowed me the funicular and museums and then at the castle bought the audio guide which is totally worth it tbh. They had it in different languages. There’s also a Michelin 2020 restaurant inside the castle.

Cesar H — Google review

Very nice old palace, you should definitely walk around and visit the garden. All the surrounding are accessible for free. But the entrance to the courtyard costs 9 euros. It’s unreasonably expensive, on my opinion. The size of the yard and what you can see inside is not worth the money. The yard is really small and partially closed for restoration, some cars are parked in places, there are too many people... In addition, to get inside the castle you need to pay even more and book a tour. So I was very disappointed.But again, the castle itself is spectacular and worth to visit, just consider thoroughly whether you need to go in.As an advantage, free toilet next to the cash register😉

Oleksandra S — Google review

This castle is located atop a hill with beautiful views of Heidelberg. There are several displays inside showing what early pharmaceutical equipment was like. You can walk to the top of the biggest wine barrel you will ever see. There is a large open area where you can sit in the shade and enjoy the views. Food is available at a couple of different places on the castle grounds. The castle is accessible by foot (a little bit of a climb) or by train (tickets are available for purchase). You could easily spend a couple hours here.

A beautiful, amazing site that has tremendous views! Over looking the entire old town, this castle is a must stop if In Heidelberg! I highly recommend going there during sunset because it’s magical to watch the city and castle grounds light up at night!

MrKingluke663 — Google review

I find this castle ruins romantic, specially when going there before sunset. Start by exploring the old bridge which offers lovely views to the city and the castle. Then walk around the old part of Heidelberg city. There are many restaurants offering different cuisines and amazing architecture. Then walk or drive to near the castle and spend the late afternoon there. There are benches to sit on.

Emy E — Google review

Definitely worth the trip. I took the funicular railway from station Kornmarkt, they offer different tickets, 1 to the castle, single or return, another 1 to the top. I bought the whole trip to the top, cost 14 euro. Price include entry to Heidelberg Palace. U can go all the way to the top then to the palace or stop at palace then continue to the top. I went to the top first, it was very foggy due to rain, fully covered with fog, mist. I just walk around a bit to enjoy the nature n cold.Then I went to the castle, was raining... but it has a much better view at the castle. It is so beautiful, although ruined but still majestic. There are 2 museums, pharmacy and the brewery..is free, just go in to get some shelter...but the wine barrel is so huge and the wood used to construct the barrel is so solid. I would highly recommend a trip to Heidelberg Palace/ castle

Eunice A — Google review

The majestic castle ruins in Heidelberg look down on the city is one of the most impressive sites to see. It is an absolute recommendation for a day trip, with great views on the city and beautiful architecture that you can enjoy even though most of it is ruins. There is a unique pharmacy history-museum, a nice cafe in the cellar, and there was a huge Playmobil exhibition last time.we visitied.

Definitely one of the better values for your money when it comes to things to do around here. You get beautiful views of the city, the castle grounds, and the panoramic view is nice too. It may be worth driving up to the hotel though if you want the panoramic view, the train there takes a lot of time to get on

Definitely must see in the city. The city overview is magnificent. There is a park outside of the castle where you can take similar pictures with a similar view.

This old castle located in the hill in Heidelberg is one of the landmarks in this town, which makes the town scenery quite unique.Even if there is a long queue to get in, the time for entry is not that long because the funicular’s capacity is bigger and it is faster than expected.The castle itself is far from ‘beautiful’ or ‘extravagant’ as others in Europe, but its ruins and the atmosphere of being old make this castle special along with museum, garden and big wine casks(tun).It would be better to walk down and enjoy the garden and philosopher’s way to the main squares, which does not take that long.

Heidelberg Castle is a true gem nestled in the heart of this historic city, and my recent visit left me utterly spellbound! The absolutely breathtaking view of Heidelberg city.The architecture, the history, and the sheer grandeur of Heidelberg Castle make it a must-visit destination.But the real magic happened when I reached one of the viewpoints overlooking the city. The panoramic view of Heidelberg spread out beneath me was nothing short of spectacular. I definitely recommend also taking a tour of the topmost part of the castle.

Greeshma J — Google review

Fantastic place to visit. The pharmacy museum and the wine cellar are free with admission to the Castle. But you will need to sign up for a tour to enter into some of the interior areas (not many). Adults 9 and students 4.50 Euros. If you take the cable car from the base, entry is included, which may be a good thing because you need to pay to park (learned the hard way). Views of Heidelberg are also excellent from this location.

Jaime E — Google review

This is one of the must see sites in Heidelberg. The castle is one of the most emblematic landmarks of the town. It has a very interesting history and architecture. The climb up the hill to the castle is quite steep, but it is worth it. The views from the castle over the town and the Neckar valley are quite impressive.

AMAZING Castle, some of it is in ruins and some of it has been preserved and if good condition. Huge at point, hard to imagine living here in is hay day. Highly recommend checking it out, the town as well and when you do be sure to spend some time walking around the grounds. It's vast so you'll need a couple hours.

A must see.We visited on a Sunday in late Feb 24. Weather was cold but dry. Wear comfortable shoes/trainers.This is a great place to go and visit. Park in the underground carpark in the centre of town. Allow at least 3 hours for a visit. Entrnace was €9 per adult (includes a return ride in the funicular and entrance to the castle). We also booked an English speaking tour (lasted about 90 minutes and you get to see places the public are not allowed in (€6 per person - you can purchase it when at the castle, but check times first. Highly recommended).Most information boards in English and German. A couple of souvenir shops.

If Germany had a Wizarding school, this would be it.Been to 30+ castles in Germany over 3 years. This was the BEST! Feels like Edinburgh but more open and elevated. My parents of a moderate fitness level (early 60s) tackled the hill (as opposed to the funicular) with a bit of effort, and the walk was shorter than anticipated, maybe 10 min up a steepish hill.Don't miss this!

Visited many times and the exterior location and Vista are breathtaking.The gardens are worth walking round as views from the viewpoints are fantastic if the City and the Rhine valley. I did the tour which you must do to see the interior . I preferred the exterior views and gardens which are free. Still pretty awesome castle . Easy access from City below and Heidelberg as a place is superb .

Speyer Cathedral, also known as the Imperial Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption and St Stephen, is a significant Romanesque cathedral in Europe. It has been a burial site for emperors for centuries and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The cathedral's construction began in the 11th century and it boasts impressive architectural design with soaring ceilings, intricate stonework, and stunning stained glass windows.

This Cathedral is absolutely amazing. Wanna experience some middle age atmosphere especially to the Romanesque and Gothic, then you should visit this Cathedral and the Speyer old town.

Comes to life at Christmas—the Christmas Market in the medieval city of Speyer. Speyer was established in 10 BCE, making it one of Germany's oldest cities. An ice rink is near the Altportel, or Old Gate, and the market is near Dom Speyer, or Speyer Cathedral.

It was amazing to see all of the details that have gone into the creation of this church. It was also nice to see many artifacts belonging to church out for display. There was a fee to go into the catacombs which I decided to opt out of but the rest of the building was very entertaining. The grounds outside of the church were also very beautiful.

Als ältester romanischer Kirchenbau und kaiserliche Grablege ein wirklich beeindruckendes Bauwerk 1000jähriger deutscher Geschichte. Absolut sehenswert und in einer grünen Parkanlage gelegen. Wir waren hier am 1. Mai 2024 und trotz Feiertag und herrlichem Wettee, verteilten sich die Menschenmengen. Der Platz davor, die Restaurants und die Parkanlagen drum herum sind perfekt für den Tourismus gedacht. Die Besichtung des Doms selber ist kostenfrei, Krypta oder Domaufstieg kosten wenige Euros extra, aber es lohnt sich.(Translated by Google)As the oldest Romanesque church building and imperial burial place, it is a truly impressive building spanning 1,000 years of German history. Absolutely worth seeing and located in a green park. We were here on May 1, 2024 and despite it being a holiday and a wonderful bet, the crowds were spread out. The square in front of it, the restaurants and the parks around it are perfect for tourism. The visit to the cathedral itself is free of charge, the crypt or the ascent to the cathedral costs a few euros extra, but it's worth it.

Ein Bauwerk welches man gesehen haben muss, um die Dimensionen zu verstehen. Die weltgrößte romanische Kirche mit 33 Meter Deckenhöhe. Sehr schlicht aber das war der trend dieser Zeit.(Translated by Google)A building that you have to see to understand the dimensions. The world's largest Romanesque church with a ceiling height of 33 meters. Very simple but that was the trend of that time.

Die größte romanische Kirche der Welt. Auf Grund der fehlenden Innenausstattung kommt der romanische Baustil besonders zur Geltung.(Translated by Google)The largest Romanesque church in the world. Due to the lack of interior furnishings, the Romanesque architectural style comes into its own.

Wolfi H — Google review

This cathedral is huge, but not very ornate. It is free to go inside, but I think they charge if you want to see the crypt. Don't miss the murals of the life of Christ ab out midway up the inside walls.

John P — Google review

This is a huge Cathedral which is accessible easily from Heidelberg by car. Rich history originally built in 1030 and rebuilt after fires a number of times. This is the resting place of Emperors and is a Romanesque cathedral example. Not ornate in the Italian or Spanish tradition but vaulting arches and ceilings of huge spans.

Kenneth D — Google review

Simply stunning and majestic. Great way of ending or beginning your visit in Speyer - right after or before going to Sea Life or Technik Museum (which I highly recommend!)

Der größte romanische Dom der Welt, den muss man einfach gesehen haben.4€ Eintrittspreis für die Krypta und die (weniger spektakulären) Kaisergräber.(Translated by Google)The largest Romanesque cathedral in the world, you simply have to see it.€4 entry fee for the crypt and the (less spectacular) imperial tombs.

Speyer Cathedral is lovely and worth a visit. It is a UNESCO world Heritage site. A basilica with four towers and two domes, was founded by Conrad II in 1030 and remodeled at the end of the 11th century.

Pam B — Google review

Three dates (c. 1020–1030 beginning of construction, 1061 completed in first form, 1106 completed second final phase of construction after reconstruction began in 1080), three emperors (Conrad II - beginning, Henry III - first phase, Henry IV -final), three fires (1159 the first big fire, 1450 the cathedral was completely burned out, a big fire and the almost complete destruction of the building in 1689), one of the largest buildings of its time, one of the largest Romanesque churches of our time. All this is united by one name, one cathedral on the banks of the Rhine. Planned and fully built before the first crusade, it must have captured the imagination of contemporaries and still captures our imagination. Serves as a tomb for four kings and four emperors, serves as a place for the coronation of kings and emperors.It's all you, Speyer Cathedral!There are not many places in the world that have influenced the development of all mankind. And this place is definitely one of them.

Technik Museum Speyer, situated in Speyer, Germany, is a renowned destination for enthusiasts of transportation and technology. The museum showcases an extensive array of exhibits including vintage cars, aircraft, spacecraft like the Space Shuttle Buran, submarines, fire engines, motorcycles and bicycles. Visitors can also explore a Jumbo Jet and an IMAX dome cinema. The museum offers interactive experiences allowing visitors to climb inside various machines such as airplanes, space shuttles, boats and trains.

Awesome place for a day out (or in). Very well curated technical museum with tons of machinery to see and best of all interact with. The biggest machines are also accessible and you can climb inside and have a look: airplanes, a space shuttle, boat, submarine, trains. It's an endless list and definitely worth a full day visit. Great for kids too as they're allowed to touch and even have a giant slide from a top a Lufthansa airplane. Absolutely recommended!

Kamelia S — Google review

A must visit place! Great collection of vehicles, planes, ships... even a submarine. The kids loves it as well. Nice restaurants. Easily can spend whole day there. Totally recommended.

Very interesting and great value for money. The exhibits are amazing and well laid out and maintained. We could only manage half a day but could have done with more time. Great for children as well!

Lui R — Google review

Great place for kids but also technically interested people in general. Not that cheap for entry fee, but totally worth it. Can easily spend up to 5 hours in there and you can come back multiple times, as there is plenty of information to read.

Lukas L — Google review

Fabulous place for a family trip. Fun and learning at the same time. The museum has got a huge collection of aircrafts, Automobiles. The space section is also great with lots of models and historical details about various space and moon missions.For me personally, the highlight was the robot at the gift shop that picks and delivers you the stuff you choose to buy.We also enjoyed the simulation vehicle at the entrance of the museum.There are washrooms in both the sections, that's a big plus being with kids.The cafeteria inside the premises is also very good. Pizza, coffee etc. are delicious and not too pricey.Must visit 👍

Vivek R — Google review

Wow! What a great museum. My son loved checking out the planes, trains, boats and more! This place is huge and well organized. Employees are friendly. Most signage was bilingual (German/English) which was helpful. We also had lunch in the restaurant and found the food to be decent. The only downside is the cost. I found the entry fee to be a bit steep. Could be an expensive day trip.

Jeremy M — Google review

Fabulous museum. Scary trip up to 747 perched up in the air on top of a building. A bit too high up for me so I went to Viscount plane instead. Still weird to be walking through a plane perched at an angle. Rest of museum very impressive. Unfortunately I couldn't appreciate it fully as was only in Speyer for a couple of hours - needs a full day to get round all the exhibits..

Ajsw S — Google review

An amazing day out, so much to look at and it was fascinating. You could go inside loads of planes, including the 747 where you could even walk out onto the wing. Planes, helicopters, trains, submarines, cars, fire engines, motorbikes. Could spend days there. Highly recommended, and we chose to visit it over the other nearby Technik museum as this one is more focused on aviation.

Daniel M — Google review

I also visited their sister museum in Sinsheim. Speyer had a great space exhibit and really good aircraft, submarines etch. You name it, it's probably here. I'll definitely visit again.

Trevor H — Google review

Ich war hier bereits zum 3. Mal. Dieses Mal mit unserer 6jährigen Enkeltochter. Es gibt immer wieder neues zu entdecken und für Kinder ist es richtig interessant. Flugzeuge, Rettungsboot und das U-Boot können von innen besichtigt werden. Ebenfalls in den Hallen alte Dampfloks, und vieles mehr. Ein Spielplatz ist ebenfalls vorhanden.Im Restaurant waren alle Mitarbeiter freundlich und zuvorkommend. Auch wenn es nicht ganz preiswert ist, war alles zum Besten.Wir werden sicherlich noch einmal mit unseren anderen Enkelkinder wieder kommen.(Translated by Google)I was here for the third time. This time with our 6 year old granddaughter. There is always something new to discover and it is really interesting for children. Planes, lifeboats and the submarine can be viewed from the inside. Also in the halls are old steam locomotives and much more. A playground is also available.All the staff in the restaurant were friendly and accommodating. Even though it's not exactly cheap, everything was for the best.We will definitely come back again with our other grandchildren.

Birgit K — Google review

Not as good as in Sinsheim, but still perfect and worth visit. Unfortunately.... some exhibits were closed for no apparent reason. Some of them were closed only in the morning, not after lunch 🤔. It looks more like a mistake than a covid regulation. Pity..it would otherwise be 5 stars.

Dominik D — Google review

Loved visiting this museum! The vehicle displays are incredible, there is a vast amount of history here. It’s a great museum for anyone interested in transportation of all kinds, especially kids. ***TIP: Be sure to bring some change to make some of the displays work.One of the interactive displays involves climbing up a bunch of stairs in order to slide down a long slide….it’s a bunch of fun!

Amazing museum, they have everything.Entrance tickets costs 21 euro and parking is 5 euro.But it's totally worth the price because this place is big and has a lot to offer. Definitely go there if you can!

Travel back in time and enjoy the details of every little piece of art.The museum is a piece of heaven for enthusiasts and soon-to-be enthusiast. Great variety of different exhibits. It takes on around 3-4 hours to see all the exhibits. Make sure to take a slide carpet before you walk upstairs to see the 747 ;)

Ma D — Google review

The museum is amazing. Kinds under 4yo are don't pay entrance. There's parking lot but it costs 5€. To see some attractions working you must pay for it. The IMAX is amazing although the scanners don't work properly. Gift shop has not so much to choose. Exposed pieces are scarced although amazing. Restaurant is ok although more food might be required.

Leokaiser1024 — Google review

Awesome museum with numerous displays outside, as well as in multiple hangers and buildings. We spent about 2-3 hours enjoying the museum and then purchased several neat items in their Giftshop!

Julie P — Google review

Massive museum with lots to see, plenty of aircraft to climb inside and explore. Would definitely return but my one gripe is having so many exhibits that charge €1 just to see them operate, a bit cheeky since the ticket itself cost €22. Even when you pay this cost, some exhibitions don't fully work which is a little frustrating.Overall would still recommend as it is huge and you can easily spend hours here.One thing to note is that some pieces require climbing stairs at great height, if you aren't someone comfortable with this then be warned. The elevated pieces do wobble a little which is intended but again can be something to worry about for those not comfortable. Still plenty to see up close!

Super Museum um den Tag zu verweilen. Das Highlight war definitiv die Boeing 747. Einfach Wahnsinn wie riesig das Flugzeug ist.Allgemein kann man viele Flugzeuge und anderes selbst betreten.Im Museumsrestaurant Hangar 10 gibt es leckeres Essen und trinken. Das Restaurant ist aufgebaut wie eine Kantine und es werden verschiedenen Speisen, Getränke, Kuchen und Snacks angeboten.(Translated by Google)Great museum to while away the day. The highlight was definitely the Boeing 747.

Sehr gutes Museum, viele Interessante Sachen, vom BMX bis zur Boeing 747.Man kann ordentlich viel entdecken und sehen. Also wenn man sich alleine schon ein bisschen mit jedem Beschäftigt kommt man locker auf 3 Stunden. Wenn man sich mit allem Ausführlich beschäftigen würde bräuchte man Wahrscheinlich Tage bis man alles durch hat.(Translated by Google)Very good museum, lots of interesting things, from BMX to Boeing 747.You can discover and see a lot. So if you spend a little time with each one, you can easily get to 3 hours. If you were to deal with everything in detail it would probably take days to get through everything.

Great museum that showcases something from every aspect of transportation from trains to bikes to cars and planes. Hard to see it all in one visit so will have to go back another time!

Dan M — Google review

Technikmuseum?...irgendwie ja aber auch nein. Alles was hier steht hat zugegeben mit Technik zu tun. Für mich wirkte es mehr wie eine große Fahrzeugausstellung, zu Lande, zu Wasser und in der Luft.Mein Highlight dort war das russische Shuttle Buran.Eintritt finde ich persönlich teuer und Parkplatz kostet auch 5 Euro extra.(Translated by Google)Technology museum?...somehow yes but also no. Everything that is written here has to do with technology. To me it seemed more like a large vehicle exhibition, on land, at sea and in the air.My highlight there was the Russian shuttle Buran.I personally find entry expensive and parking also costs 5 euros extra.

Good size museum if you like planes and cars and out of space. The IMAX we saw was in German so we didn't underhand a lick of it it was still pretty cool. If you ever wanted to stand on a planes wing a few stories up and wonder what your doing up there.. this is the place for you.

Thermen & Badewelt Sinsheim offers a variety of pools catering to different preferences, from sports pools for swimmers to relaxation zones with massage loungers. The facility is well-maintained and clean, with friendly staff providing efficient service. Visitors can enjoy themed saunas and cold showers, as well as indoor and outdoor pools. The on-site restaurant serves tasty meals at reasonable prices.

Excellent spot to relax and sweat out all the toxins. Had an amazing salt scrub and a wonderful mud mask to go along with several themed saunas, a saltwater pool and a warm there outside. Don't miss the Sauna Boat.

Jackie L — Google review

It is my first visit to this beautiful and modern sauna and wellness paradise. It is located next to the exit of autobahn and has a large parking lot. We bought a one day ticket to enjoy sauna and Palmen paradise. I do not believe it is necessary to Reserve a resting chair if you do not mind to change seats after sauna. defintely check out the sauna programmes on big screen for special events and experiences. If you are on budget go for food in restaurant of Palmen Paradise and not in sauna restaurant as it costs a few euros more. try freshly made crepes in the palmen paradise for dessert. the showers are made of white marble and clean will definitely visit again. Definitely reserve weeks in advance if you are visiting on weekends

Rony W — Google review

This place is GORGEOUS and very well maintained. The staff were all friendly, even to an *Ausländer* like me. The cold shower/waterfall is a delight after any of the different themed saunas. You can rent a towel to sit on in the saunas for 2 or 3 euro, or bring your own towel/robe. About half the areas inside the complex are with swimming suit; the saunas, unsurprisingly, are nude. The restaurant was had very quick service and I had a pretty tasty Schnitzel. You can eat inside or outside. Pro tip- Eat outside and enjoy the view of rolling countryside hills with a castle tower looming in the distance. Parking is plentiful and also very well maintained. —I’m including an English translation of the COVID-related rules posted outside the front door for all my English homies, if you’re reading this while that’s still relevant.—

Wonderful location! But, the customer care services is a big mistake! (no one answers the phone, email sent with delay and then, with heavy language). I lost my time and my voucher’s value trying to change the date of a reservation . Customer care services are the Achilles heel of this wonderful complex.

Nicu H — Google review

Very nice place to spend a relaxing day. The staff is super friendly and everything is clean. The layout makes sense and offers a lot of room to relax and have fun in the water. Especially the opening roof is great to allow for some fresh air in the summer.Saunas are great, with good variety, amazing themes, enough space, and a nice outdoor area. It's worth visiting for the Sauna alone.I highly recommend also booking the "lounge area" if you want a really special day. They are relatively expensive but a perfect place to retreat and unwind between activities. I especially appreciate the staff putting a fan in there to help cool down on a very hot day.We had an old voucher from 2021 where we couldn't attend due to covid, and it worked nicely. They have fair policies for canceling or moving reservations (that's also important these days)Overall, it was a great place to be, a bit expensive but totally worth it.

Wonderful place for relaxation. It is extremely clean! You can find a free lounger because the employees keep kindly removing the towels of the guests who are not occupying the chairs at the moment - you can always find a free spot when you come back because of that, but it would be best if you would remove your things before leaving for the water.The restaurant is great, and so is the general atmosphere of the place!

Make sure you bring a towel!!

This is an amazing place! Parking is free and plenty. The entry was organised, the armband you get tells you the locker number to store your things and then you have direct access to the area. The air and water temperature was perfect, it was never cold and the whole ambiance was very comfortable. The sauna area is absolutely stunning and the saunas are big enough to enjoy them several times during the day. I would recommend to get a full day ticket with sauna included. Otherwise is half a day pretty short to visit the pools, saunas and have lunch. Price for beverages was reasonable, food was a bit pricey but the quality was very good. If you visit the sauna area and pool area, be aware that there is one restaurant per area, both with different dishes and prices.

There were a couple people in front of us in line that had to return to their cars to get something they forgot but overall, very efficient line.The entire facility was very clean.I’m most surprised by how affordable it was. I got the daily special today for lunch. €10 worth of Turkey curry. The macaroni and cheese was also very good. The typical cocktail was around €8 and my radler was less than €5.My two year old daughter was with us and absolutely loved the water. It stays warm enough for extended trips to the pools and the outdoor pool still felt great with high winds at 12*C.Will return again in the future.

Well this museum is HUGE! Main focus is car related, but they have a big amount of planes and trains too. Hoped it would be less cars and more mixed technical stuff. Restaurant only has pastry of big meals. Would be good if they served sandwiches too.

The museum is a very complex experience, I would say it is worth visiting with all the openness and patience available.Minimum 2-3 hours visit. Tickets can be bought on the spot.Of course the main attractions are Concorde and Tupolov, absolutely fantastic.

Claire A — Google review

This is one of the largest collections I have ever seen, and it has a little bit of everything, entry is quite cheap, and a great price for the amazing vehicles and artifacts you will see, with the addition bonus of a 10,000 step workout. You start with a tour of Halle 1, though a primarily American collection of sports cars, which include a Ford GT, a C5 Corvette, and a 1965 Mustang, just to name a few, then heading up the stairs, there is an elaborate history display of World War II, with fascinating exhibits which include a crashed WWII plane that was scavenged from the ocean floor, a panther tank with moving tracks, and a moving turret. Continuing on to the outdoor exhibit where various tanks are on display, as well as a helicopter. Heading to Halle 2, you are greeted with a crashed Porsche, followed up with a great demonstration of trains, and sports cars from all different eras, which include the like of the Ferrari F40, Lamborghini Countach, and many F1 cars. Continuing on, there is a 24H of Le Mans display with cars like a GT40 (Replica), legendary Porsche cars, and new Toyota Hybrid hyper-cars. Going to the roof, the main attraction is the legendary Concorde, which you can go inside, and view the awesome exhibit of this historic masterpiece. There are many other planes that have tours, one of them has a slide that brings you back to Halle 2. The food tastes great, but beware, there are no free refills on drinks. The gift shop contains a number of cool memorabilia, and shirts, a great selection to choose from. Overall a fantastic experience, and a great showcase of all these legendary vehicles.Tried to post the pictures in order, but the videos come first.

What an absolutely amazing museum, English translation on 95% of the information displays.An outstanding collection of automobiles, aeroplanes, helicopters and motorcycles as well as military equipment.The place is huge, with 3 hangers to walk around and the sky deck full of aircraft.I would highly recommend a visit to this museum for anyone not just those interested in technical and automotive.There are two restaurants on site and a children’s play area which looked great fun for the little ones.

Very nice exhibitions and it's awesome that you can view some of the planes from the inside. Very pricey (21€ per person) but it's somewhat justified. Takes a good 3-4 hours to see everything in peace. When the submarine arrives, it'll be another reason to revisit the museum. 8/10

It’s on the expensive side for a museum in my opinion (23€) but there really is a lot to see and you could probably spend a full day walking around this place. I’d say the coolest part is the possibility to go inside the Concorde and the Tupolev Tu-144!I won’t spoil too much for those interested in going, but listen when I say: Go check this out, it’ll be a great day 👍

Mattias L — Google review

Concorde and Tupolev supersonic planes are main highlights of the museum but there are more surprises. Other than 6 - 7 airplanes which accessible into the interior, the collection of cars within 3 gigantic halls are wonderful.

Incroyable musée qui contient des pièces rares et nombreuses.Mention spéciale aux avions et voitures, bien mis en valeur.En revanche cela manque un peu d'informations sur place (panneaux et fléchage au sol)Les avions sont également mis en situation (inclinés et cabrés), c'est assez sportif de monter dedans et cela peut empêcher certains publics d'accéder.(Translated by Google)Incredible museum which contains numerous rare pieces.Special mention to the planes and cars, well highlighted.On the other hand, there is a little lack of information on site (signs and arrows on the ground)The planes are also placed in position (tilted and nose up), it is quite sporty to climb in and this can prevent certain audiences from accessing.

Really nice and big museum, what needs to be visited 1 in your lifetime, the musuem is really big and needs minimum a full day to visits all the cars and planes, but the musuem is in a mint condition, with a lot od interactive things to do(needs to be payed seperatly) overall we had a really good day!

Superb overall experience. Family friendly, no wait time. Large part of the museum is outdoors so weather is a factor to be taken into account when deciding to visit.

The trip to the museum was present for my husband’s birthday, who is an aviation nerd, but I actually enjoyed it as much as him. Great exhibition, including a lot of vintage cars, motorcycles, planes and many more, with a lot of entertainment for all ages. The one in Spyer is also amazing, so definitely go and visit them both.

From vintage cars and aircraft to impressive technological exhibits, it offers a fascinating journey through history. The attention to detail and interactive displays make it a captivating experience for all ages. The outdoor area with its iconic Concorde and Soviet space shuttle adds a unique touch. The museum’s commitment to preserving and showcasing technological marvels makes it a must-visit, leaving visitors with a profound appreciation for innovation and engineering

It's a great museum!It's now one of my favorites. There are so many things to see.It's interesting for people of all ages. I'm not really into technical stuff, I'm more of a regular person, but I found the technology fascinating.I saw things I'd only seen in old movies before.I really liked the kids' area, especially being able to pay for rides without using cash. Having a parking lot and a restaurant is a big plus.I suggest going to the museum when it's not raining so you can go up to the planes and have a cup of coffee outside.I'm sure this museum will impress everyone. It's a place where you can see both old and new technology and see progress firsthand.It's worth traveling far to visit this museum. If you live nearby and haven't been there, you're missing out!

Lesia H — Google review

The museum is gigantic! Its exhibits show various locomotive machines, cars, bicycles and even airplanes from different periods in human history.The best thing is that all the machines were used at some point, which is quite impressive for very old devices.Personally, I could consider the Concord the most attractive objectI don't consider the entrance expensive because they allow you to enter some exhibitions (get on trains or planes), spend all day in the museum and even take thousands of photographs.

Janik T — Google review

This museum is easily one of the best places I’ve been to in my life. It is absolutely great, especially for aviation and car enthusiasts like me. I would really recommend going there as it is definitely one of the best museums out there. My favorite part was definitely the Concorde, which happens to be my favorite plane. Visiting it was definitely something special for me.

Technik Museum is a ‘technical’ museum, as such they feature all sorts of ‘technology’ exhibits. They have a massive automobile exhibit, among others, but I went for their aviation exhibits, more specifically to see the Concorde next to the Soviet built version of the Concorde – the Tupulev TU-144. It is the only place in the entire world where these two aircraft are displayed together.I was blown away by this exhibit. To see these two marvels of aviation next to each other made me emotional.The museum have displayed these aircraft in such a beautiful way, mounted high above the roof of the museum at an angle that makes them appear as if they are taking off. It is the way these beautiful aircraft should be displayed.Both aircraft are fully accessible and available to see. There is a spiral staircase leading to each rear cargo compartment where you can walk the entire length of the aircraft all the way to each flight deck. Because of that angle I just mentioned, you will be quite winded by the time you reach the front of the airplane!Thank you Technik Museum Sinsheim for preserving and displaying these amazing aircraft.There are plenty of other aircraft on display as well. You could spend an entire day here and not see everything.My only complaint is that the IMAX movies are only in German with no additional subtitles in other languages. Had I known that I would have probably skipped the 45 minute movie. The good news is that there were a lot of amazing 3D Hubble Telescope scenes to look at. Every once in a while I’d catch an English word but basically I was there for the ride!

J Z — Google review

Absolutely memorable experience! There is lots to do and lots to see. No need to buy tickets in advance. Prepare for lots of stairs (cos you can go inside almost every plane on the museum's rooftop), but it's worth it.

Musée très complet sur tous les engins à moteur !

We had a fantastic visit to both museums at Sinshiem & Speyer last week.The many thousands of exhibits range from military vehicles from WW2 to the striking display of the Air France Concorde F-BVFB, TU144, and the 747.2 fantastic museums, which are a must for any petrolhead, aviation, and Concorde aficionados.Good facilities, with plenty of seating, interactive displays, and dining options.Highly recommended 👌

Really cool museum! Very fun for kids or for adults.There’s a bit American card collections and if you like cars or aviation this is super entertaining.A bit of a line to get in the concord but that is expected and it went fast.A bit pricey but worth it.

Zoo

Zoos & Aquariums

Garden

The Zoological Gardens Karlsruhe boasts a variety of wild animals, including polar bears and seals. The park features boating lakes and a petting area for visitors to enjoy. The animal shows are entertaining, with the sea lion show being a crowd favorite as the largest sea lion jumps out of the water to catch fish from a zoo keeper. All of the animals have spacious enclosures and are well taken care of.

It's a pearl in an already amazing city! The animals look fantastic (photos not on my mobile at the moment), but the gardens are also wonderful. It's so nice watching all the locals and the tourists enjoy the sun, shade or just the calmness and beauty around them! I loved it, the entrance fee (13 euros, I believe) is also very reasonable and you can easily spend a whole day here. There are also lots of places where you can grab something to drink or to eat, like an ice-cream, and plenty of WC, which were very clean.Highly recommended!

Andr? M — Google review

Park is not too big but very beautiful.Boat ride is a highlight of this park. It's not expensive. You can enjoy seeing or probably touching hundreds of fishes during your boat ride. There are small playgrounds in between so while you relax kids can play. There are some other activities (car ride for kids, kids mini ferry - obviously you have to pay). There were waffle, popcorn stalls and some restaurants(Though we were disappointed with the food) where you can enjoy your lunch. Overall good experience.

Beautiful zoo, nicely organized. Lots of beautiful animals. Lots of places for adults to relax and lots of children's playgrounds. Basically, the zoo is very big, so I recommend a whole day stay.

Janko S — Google review

We loved our visit to the Zoological Gardens Karlsruhe. The animal shows were a lot of fun. During the sea lion show the largest sea lion jumps almost all of the way out of the water to grab a fish from the zoo keeper. All of the animals looked well kept and had spacious enclosures. We especially liked watching the Red Panda. The Zoo also has a nice sized pond that you can ride a boat on and several beautiful gardens. We parked at the Congress-Zentrum park house which is only a couple minutes away from the zoo entrance.

Justin O — Google review

The experience was great. Lots of different animals, there are some goats in the beginning who you can stroke, beautiful green park. There's also a possibility to take a boat ride (the boats have roofs, so you won't be exposed to the sun). Some playgrounds for kids at different spots of the park also some other activities like train rides etc. Took us around 2 hours to walk through everything. Overall a great experience, my kid (almost 3 y.o.) loved it :)

Nice combination of park and zoo. Nice to wander or even make a 20/40 min boat tour in the Gondoletta. Entrancefee is just 13 euro. Boat tour and minicars cost extra. The lay out of the park is lovely and well maintained.

KL0VAN — Google review

28 dollars for one student and normal.It is so expensive that you think all animals should feel at their home but my first view was horrific!It is down below the pictures, look at the water they're living in! What a horrible way to treat animal away from their home. They should immediately clean the water and be more careful not to play with the lives of animals.

Samet Ö — Google review

Superbly organized and maintained zoo. Recommended times to visit during summer or spring time. As the lakes are not filled with water, which fulfills the view with greenery and birds all around, summer is best time. Went there during december though. Some of my best picks are here. Will add some more pictures when i edit.

Let's get wild with this review of the Karlsruhe Zoo!We ventured out to the zoo on a chilly Saturday morning and boy, was it a wild experience! The good news was that we had the zoo almost all to ourselves, as the cold weather seemed to have driven away most of the other visitors. With free street parking and a short walk to the entrance, we were ready to embark on our animal adventure.Despite being on the smaller side compared to other zoos in the area, the Karlsruhe Zoo certainly packs a punch. It boasts heavy hitters like majestic elephants and mighty polar bears, which were definitely a sight to behold. We were impressed with how well the animals were taken care of, and the relatively clean condition of the zoo.Now, let's talk food. We stopped for lunch at a restaurant on site, and while it was typical quality for a zoo restaurant, it did the job of satisfying our growling stomachs. However, the real gem was the crepe stand near the petting zoo area - their crepes were the perfect sweet treat to indulge in during our animal adventure.It's worth mentioning that the zoo is on the older side, but don't let that deter you. We saw construction underway, which is a clear sign that the zoo is making improvements and aiming to keep up with the times.Overall, we recommend checking out the Karlsruhe Zoo if you happen to be in the area. However, we wouldn't recommend making a long journey just to visit the zoo. While it's definitely a fun experience, we feel it's more of a half-day adventure rather than a full-day excursion. So, hop on over and get ready to go wild!

Really enjoyed going to this zoo. So much to see and the animals all seemed very happy. Great day out and the animals were very active. Only issue was it seemed like no stalls to get any water were open which was disappointing had to walk to the other side of the park to find a drink.

Melissa A — Google review

While some areas of the zoo provide insightful glimpses into animal habitats, others feel cramped and uncomfortable, with too many animals confined into small spaces. Witnessing a deceased newborn meerkat among its companions was pretty distressing. Despite this, the zoo has beautiful gardens.The prices on the website do not match those at the box office.

Beautiful and clean park, filled with lots of adorable and interesting animals. Located directly across the street from the main Train Station making it very easily reachable with public transportation. The atmosphere is very inviting and the park is beautifully decorated. Bathrooms are kept clean and tidy. Pricing is reasonable for this place and I can highly recommend a visit.

A very relaxing and interesting place to visit or just walk around. It might not be the biggest zoo but it is quite modern and most of the animals can be seen. There are restaurants and stalls that sell snacks. They have a kids playground and some boats to ride on the lake with. Lots of green spaces for families to play on.

Heinz G — Google review

Fantastic location with plenty of enjoyable activities, especially geared towards children. The abundance of animals is apparent, and their well-being is clearly a priority. Whether you prefer leisurely walks to observe the animals, gentle interactions with them, or a stroll around the park soaking up sunlight, there's a variety of options. Additionally, amenities like gondola boat rides and delicious waffles contribute to the overall delightful experience. The reasonable pricing for the diverse activities makes it a worthwhile visit!

What a magnificent place. The most impressive animals for me were the bats. You can stand in the middle of them and they fly around you without touching you. That was epic.There was a lovely red headed cockatoo who flew straight at us and chatted to us for a long time so charming.

The casino is a beautiful and luxurious place with baccarat and roulette tables. It's frequented by famous people like Dostoyevsky and Marlene Dietrich. The basement has slot machines for losers only, but it's still classy and stylish. The barman is also very cool.

We were here for a surprise 3 course Menu. The food was very tasty, portions not big, but big enough at the end of the evening.Quite evening when we were there and they reserved a nice table for us.Non alcoholic cocktail for my partner was surprisingly good.Good place to stop before the evening in the casino itself.

Kaniz F — Google review

The Baden-Baden Casino is like an old, over-perfumed great-aunt. The historic architecture is impressive, but the worn condition and the special smell - a mixture of old smoke and perfume - tarnish the shine. The strict dress code forces you to wear formal attire, and the high costs make it clear that only well-heeled players are welcome. Crowds of tourists and outdated gaming options reinforce the feeling that time has stood still here. Still, for nostalgics with deep pockets and formal attire, it may be worth a visit.

Este casino histórico del siglo XIX tiene una historia muy interesante y ha sido visitado por insignes figuras, como nos pudo explicar, en un inglés sosegado, inteligible y lleno de anécdotas la chica española que hizo de guía hace solo unos días. Su interior es realmente llamativo y bello, con jarrones chinos de los de verdad ;-) y mobiliario acorde con el edificio, parte de él también histórico, y parte muy bien embebido en el conjunto. Los hombres solo pueden jugar con chaqueta, según rezan las normas. No nos quedamos a comprobarlo, ya que únicamente hicimos la visita guiada. Se trata de un casino federal que no tiene, según indican, especial ánimo de lucro.(Translated by Google)This historic casino from the 19th century has a very interesting history and has been visited by famous figures, as the Spanish girl who acted as a guide just a few days ago was able to explain to us in calm, intelligible English full of anecdotes. Its interior is really striking and beautiful, with real Chinese vases ;-) and furniture in keeping with the building, part of it also historic, and part very well integrated into the complex. Men can only play with jackets, according to the rules. We didn't stay to check it out, since we only took the guided tour. It is a federal casino that does not have, as indicated, a special profit motive.

Beautiful casino which was an awesome setting for the company dinner. The game area itself had a slightly weird mix, some yuppies who seemed overly eager to show their wealth or show off in some way and some who looked quite miserable and were probably gambling addicts.So the place itself was very clean, friendly and alert staff. The prices are very much adjusted and it felt like in Switzerland with 17€ for a longdrink seems like a lot for germany.

They will ask you to rent jacket if you are a man hist with a coat. For women they are flexible. So 10 euros the rented jacket 2 euros wardrobe, 5 euros entrance t start with. Roulette tables don't have chairs and you have to pay to drinks. So there is a negative vibe before you start betting. On the other side it's a magnificent building, nice atmosphere and playing in such a palace its an experience to live.

Impressive and beautiful historical casino. Stumbled across the casino tour by accident and we were glad we visited. Got to see the splendour of the lavishly designed casino which underwent renovations in 2016 and 2019. Retain their historical splendour.

Why it lost one start- Entrance fees are ridiculous for a casino- house wins plus drinks are properly priced so not needed if a dress code is enforced (to keep out no players or keep it classy)Why 4 stars? Great building. Tables are nice and clean and well run. Table mins are fully reasonable (10€ for blackjack and 2€ for roulette). Bar has quality drinks.Surprisingly on a Saturday was able to get on a blackjack table as well as a roulette table without a wait.

Al ser domingo estaba bastante concurrida, pero no aglomerada.Hay una zona de juegos infantil más amplía que la que vimos el primer día, justo al otro lado del lago, con una gran pradera para que los niños puedan jugar al balón o jugar a la cometa, por ejemplo. Después descubrimos otra tercera zona de juegos más pequeña pero más acogedora.El lago es un lugar que incita al relax, sentarse en un banco, leer un libro o simplemente contemplar la naturaleza.(Translated by Google)It is the first time we have visited this park and, although we have really only visited a small part, it has been enough to make us fall in love with it and want to return as many times as we can.The children's area is spacious and has games for different ages.

Then we discovered another third smaller but cozier play area.The lake is a place that encourages relaxation, sitting on a bench, reading a book or simply contemplating nature.

So many storks and nests. It is absolutely worth it to watch this amazing place and read about this incredible bird. Also there is a nice garden with flowers there!

Loved enjoying this park and all the storks. This is the locals favorite park. It's a doable walk in 45 minutes from the old Town. Take a picnic and relax.

Really beautiful park, colourful trees and rock structures with a small water body. Do take a visit here if you visit Strasbourg

I recommend the visit. It's beautiful, peaceful, and serene. I loved it! If you plan to relax on grass, a little fabric to sit on will make it more enjoyable.

Ich bin schon sehr früh morgens los auf dem Weg zu diesem Park und gehe immer alles zu Fuß. Das Wetter wurde besser als ich da war und die parkanlage war schon echt super schön zurecht gemacht sehr groß. Das bemerkenswerteste waren die Störche die in den ganzen Tag und drumrum ihre Nester in den Bäumen aufgeschlagen haben. Habe sehr viel Zeit da verbracht mit deinem kleinen Snack. Ein sehr schön angelegter Park in dem es sich lohnt viel Zeit zu verbringen.(Translated by Google)I set off for this park very early in the morning and always walk everything. The weather got better when I was there and the park was really nicely done up and very large. The most notable thing were the storks that set up their nests in the trees throughout the day. I spent a lot of time there with your little snack. A very beautifully landscaped park that is worth spending a lot of time in.

Beautiful place a park with trees, grass and lake. Lots of animals even stork nests on every corner and even Tortoises in lake. You can enjoy small car rides with your kids and rent a boat to drive on a lake with a waterfall. Excellent for photography I must ad and beautiful lights. We were there on Sunday so it was filled with people doing picknicks.

Alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Es gibt Spielplätze für Kinder und sogar die Möglichkeit sich Eis zu kaufen (Kugel 2.50 €).

One of the most magnificent parks that I have ever been too, if not THE most. The park itself is massive and has so much to offer. Lots of places to picnic, playgrounds, ponds and areas to boat. The flower gardens were my favorite and the storks of course! This is a must if you’re in the area. My only advice is to wear shoes/clothes you feel comfortable getting dirty because the paths aren’t paved, so it can get very dusty especially if there is a bit of wind.

Alivia H — Google review

Such a beautiful setting with some amazing trees, lake and a very relaxing atmosphere. Away from the hustle and bustle of the main town itself. Tranquility and calm can be found here. The flower beds are full of the wealth of variety performer. I would recommend this for everyone. Young and old. The parts of flat makes easy access for wheelchairs etc. Beautiful absolutely beautiful

Very well maintained garden with plenty of room to explore! This place is great for an afternoon stroll or picnic. They have tons of gardens to admire as well as ponds with lots of birds. Not just for walking we saw lots of people on their bicycles enjoying the grounds! Highly recommend and will visit again!

Cathedral

Sights & Landmarks

The Cathedral of Strasbourg is a beautiful, gothic edifice built in 1187 to 1439 with a 16th-century astronomical clock and rose window. It is considered the world's tallest building from 1647 to 1874 and still the sixth tallest church today. The walls of the cathedral keep a 1000-year history of luck and disappointment, victorious victories and unforgivable defeats.

What a wonderful cathedral!! The clock inside is really neat. I loved the nativity scenes and I'm so glad they were still up when we went in January. We climbed up the tower, which was a highlight of our entire vacation!

This is a must see location if you are within 100 miles. Strasbourg the old city is just incredible for old buildings and interesting sites. The Cathedral is very impressive from the outside and the inside is just Great. The altar and the backdrop are very well done. The stained glass is amazing as well. I walked to the top of the Cathedral and highly recommend doing this if you can. Great views and interesting views of the Cathedral as you climb.

Bruce K — Google review

Very impressive building! Inside pretty dark and some part is still in renovation. The clock on the right side worth to see. I enjoyed visiting it. The most spectacular was illumination show, special lights and music at night. Wow!

Very impressive cathedral. Specially the stunning astronomical clock which is a master piece of engineering and is a must see if visiting.cathedral is very big. Inside always prayers are going on.recommend to visit at night so you can see the most spectacular music and light show projected onto the exterior of the cathedral.Infront of cathedral many shop having so many instruments and also live paintings will be going on.

The Strasbourg Cathedral is an impressive landmark with its striking Gothic architecture and detailed carvings. The spire is particularly notable, standing tall over the city, and the rose window is beautifully crafted. Inside, the stained glass windows add a touch of color and history, and the astronomical clock is an interesting feature to check out. It's a worthwhile visit for anyone interested in architecture or history, offering a calm and reflective space in the heart of the city.

Kai T — Google review

Absolutely beautiful! There is an amazing clock in the back right corner that does a little something every 15 minutes. It’s not amazing but it’s cute and fun to see if you’re around. The gift shop was great and some good finds for good prices. The nativity scene inside was absolutely gorgeous!

Aly M — Google review

This was a beautiful cathedral in a beautiful city. Had such a great time. There is a little train right outside that you can take for 8 euro that will give you a tour of the petite France area.

Sonia N — Google review

Came over from offenburg Germany. It was a short drive. It was on a French holiday so I think it was extra busy. The cathedral was very pretty. You could walk around on your own. There was no English translations quite. If you get an app on your phone you can just shine it on the signs and it'll read it in English for you. It was a recording picking on every now and then to ask us to shush. Although I don't think we were being loud, the crowd was in the church at that time.

Behold the awe-inspiring Strasbourg Cathedral 🏰✨ A masterpiece of Gothic architecture, this iconic symbol in France stands tall with centuries of history. From its intricate facade to the panoramic views from the tower, every detail whispers tales of resilience and grandeur.

I have seen many Gothic cathedrals. But I was amazed by the beauty and grandeur of Strasbourg Cathedral. Its size is impressive, its stained glass windows lead to ecstasy. This is a masterpiece of medieval Gothic architecture.

I was surprised to discover that this is also a beautiful cathedral. It is not that far from the one in Paris. The line to get in (on the left of the front side) is for free but can get very long. The line for going up to the tower (on the right side) has a cost. Definitely recommended!

Alberto R — Google review

One of the beautiful gothic Romanesque church; looks majestic during the day and magnificent at night. Free entry into the church and get mesmerized by the astrological clock! Manage to climb the tower area with €8 fee. Nice overview of Strasbourg from the top. My Airbnb room also come with the nicest view of the tower.

Ahmad H — Google review

Lovely Cathedral and a must-visit when in Strasbourg. The cathedral is not open all the time for visitors, so one must check the timings before planning a visit. Also, there are a dress code (they don't allow dressed with exposed shoulders). The cathedral is lovely both from the outside and the inside. The astronomical clock is one of the highlights. Once can also climb the terrace for lovely views. The cathedral square is quite lively and totally worth visiting.

Padmini S — Google review

Dogsla — Google review

Very impressive cathedral. It is breathtaking to look up and realize how small we are. It is a very historical cathedral and 142 m high. It is for free to go up the stairs. The view has to be amazing. Unfortunately the queue on weekends especially sundays is too long. But the city has a very nice atmosphere. I liked and enjoyed it a lot.

Sinja M — Google review

The cathedral is breathtaking from every angle, with stained glass, spires, and intricate designs living every inch of the building. You won’t find yourself bored when visiting here. I waited for maybe a minute to get inside and did not have to pay. Niece inside you are free to walk around within the designated areas. If you are feeling in the mood, you can buy and light a candle in the cathedral. There is also two gift shops!

Abby — Google review

Absolutely beautiful but at the same time has to make you question the money and power of the church. It is a beautiful sight but the people could benefit in so many more ways than the enormous expense building.

David M — Google review

Very impressive cathedral especially the stunning astronomical clock which is a master piece of engineering and is a must see if visiting. I highly recommend visiting again at night so you can see the most spectacular music and light show projected onto the exterior of the cathedral.

Wandering S — Google review

A wonderful cathedral, truly a work of art in every way. Entrance is free into the church, but a ticket of 8.5 euro to take the stairs up - which you must do, the views are spectacular {approx 300 steps up and 300 down, on a spiral staircase}. The clock at the back is a marvel to behold, from the 16th century. The church area is peaceful, take some time to sit and reflect no matter your religion.

The Cathédrale Notre Dame of Strasbourg is a magnificent cathedral in Strasbourg. It's tall and carries rich architectural heritage of historic France. The outside is full of intricate sculptures and details. Inside, colorful stained glass windows light up the place when the sun is out. You can climb up to the top for amazing views of the city and the ticket costs €8. It's a must-visit if you're in Strasbourg.

Exceptional views, beautiful architecture, in my eyes it is a must to visit during your stay in Strasbourg. Ticket is absolutely worth it, considering the effort to climb the way up. Inside the cathedral entry is free. The size, area, mosaics made me deeply think how much time and effort it took to create and build this miracle. Miraculous❤️..

Amazing cathedral. You should see the stained glass work. They had a unique clock and many other things. This is worth the visit. The outside is so intricate. The steeple is a great photograph at night.

Thomas R — Google review

Absolutely mind blowing, when you try to see the height of this cathedral. Really really enormous with a beautiful astronomical clock adding more to its beauty. An absolute masterpiece of Gothic architecture.The interior is equally beautiful. We were here on Sunday so we could not explore it entirely due to the ongoing mass. On a sunny day, the rays which comes through the tainted glass windows just creates an aura. It feels divine here. Very beautiful paintings all over the glass windows, unlike any other cathedral.

Animesh K — Google review

Absolutely beautiful! If you are in Strasbourg, you must see it! The tower is very high, and there are many stairs to climb, so be prepared if you want to visit the tower as well. Entry is basically free, except for the tower, which costs 8 euros.

Wasn’t a huge fan of Strasbourg overall, but the cathedral is absolutely worthy of the trip; it is imposingly beautiful inside and out. You can see the cathedral from just about anywhere in the city and it’s still difficult to fathom the size of it once you’re upon it. It was stunning.

A very impressive cathedral! And this is coming from someone who has visited many. It's huge, historically impressive and the stained glass is possibly the best I've ever seen. And then there's the astronomical clock!! Read up on it or get a pop guide, then see it in person. It's truly a technical wonder!

Beautiful Historic Monument. Probably one of the most beautiful religious cathedral from France.Specific times to get inThe astronomical clock is impressive and has so many resources and surprises.The man speaking once in a while on the microphone to ask people to turn the volume down is the one making most of the noise.Go visit this landmark.

A unique cathedral in the center of Strasbourg with an amazing view of the city.Built around the 12th century this cathedral known for its impressive height, reaching 142 meters was completed in 1439.The south tower and its only tower was the world's largest building from 1647 till 1874.Small details hidden in its architecture makes this world heritage site worth visiting.PS: do not forget do visit the astronomical clock. Every day at 12:30 the rooster crows and apostles move around the clock.

Stunning cathedral. Peaceful and cool inside, while you marvel at the architecture, sculptures, and stained glass. Don't miss the astronomical clock - it's main event is mid day but you will still see the characters move at the half hour. The lines can be long but change quickly. Be aware that you cannot go in without proper clothing - no tank tops / spaghetti straps, no hats for men - so be sure to check the rules before you set out for the day.

Kat W — Google review

From July 18 - 19, 2024, my wife and I spent some time here three times. Initially, we visited it in the afternoon. And later, we visited it when it was all lit up at night. And the next day, we paid and climbed over 300 steps in a spiral staircase to a platform and observed its upper structure and the whole of Strasbourg.

Peter C — Google review

The most conspicuous building in Strasbourg. It’s full of beauty and historical charm. There are lots things to see - external decorations, climbing to the top to have a great view of the city, internal decorations and carpets. Finally there is the Astronomical clock inside. The history of the cathedral reflects the history of the city which is breathtaking. In front of the church you can find lots of Noel markets in the holiday season in winter.

Nice cathedral in Strousburg. It doesn't compare to the cathedral in Cologne but with each town or city is the main cathedral. If you have a half an hour is worthwhile visiting. Take some pictures. You are allowed to take pictures inside the cathedral. No big crowds like the cathedral in Cologne.

Charles L — Google review

Breathtaking.There are a lot of details to notice on the facade.Note the figures at the right hand door at the front facade. You'll find the devil, first appearing as a prince, but from behind you'll see the ugly.Inside you'll find the astronomical clock. Worth to await the full hour.

Hiking area

Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald offers an elevated hiking experience with interpretive information and a striking spiral observation tower. It provides families with the opportunity to connect with nature and witness breathtaking views of the Black Forest from a unique vantage point. The wooden and steel structure leads visitors along a boardwalk to reach the 130-foot viewing tower, where they can enjoy panoramic vistas of the dense forest and rolling hills.

Even though we went on a day that was rainy with little visibility of the forest we still had an amazing time and I will definitely be back during the summer as I’m sure the views are spectacular. I really like how there’s little obstacles and learning stations along the way. The cute birdhouses along the path are also very nice. Definitely check it out if you’re in the area!

Megan W — Google review

Wheelchair accessible! You need to go short distance to the entrance of the Baumwipfelpfad. There you have a possibility to directly explore the tower reaching it over 650m wooden bridge on the tree height level - magnificent experience! Then you’re heading to the top of the tower - another 1250 m, it’s not really hard and with a push chair we did it in 10 min. It could be quite windy so don’t forget a jacket and a hat, especially for kids. The option to slide down is great - 2 EUR only. The view is really magnificent! Great for a one day trip!Important thing is that the exit is directly to the playground and you come back to the parking via the road under the trees, which wasn’t an option for us. And we came back just the way we came in, and no one stopped us even we saw the sign “no exit” just only when we came back.Toilets are down the tower, no changing table available.

Julia A — Google review

This was an awesome experience, the tree top walk was €29 for a family ticket and it is €2 per person to use the slide, but worth the price. The playground section was €22 for a family ticket and you get a stamp so you can go in and out all day. There are full food and drink menus available throughout the day and lots of walking trails.

James D — Google review

Enjoyed the board walk and the walk up to the top of the observation deck. Would love to visit another time of the year and it is not too foggy so we could enjoy the view and to take the slide down to the bottom. Nevertheless still a good experience!

Nicholas K — Google review

I came here with my two kids ages 3 and 5! It was a fun walk for them with a few little obstacle courses along the way! They never got bored running around and had so much fun! When we got to the top the view was amazing! There's also a slide down if you don't wanna walk back down but my kids were a bit small for this 😅 maybe next time! Overall was a fun walk to introduce small children to nature! Hopefully I can bring them back here one day where they can appreciate the view more 🤣

I enjoyed the experience. The walk over the forest is enjoyable. The views at the top are beautiful. The slide is fun. I was wondering if I was going to be able to bring my backpack on the slide and I was. After you go down the slide, there is another play area for a separate fee. You will probably spend the most time at the play area.

Steve L — Google review

We had a great time and didn’t think 34 euro for everything was too much for the experience (2 adults and 2 kids is 26 euro entrance & 4 x 2 slide tube). We came from our holiday address in Baden-Baden. It was an hour drive but so beautiful with all the fall colours! It was part of the fun. Well back to the Baumwipfelpad: we spent 1 hour and 15 minutes there. A few things you should take into account if you don’t want to be disappointed. 1. It is quite cold and windy in autumn (we had a sunny October day, and we were already freezing) 2. The path can be slippery 3. You can only pay with cash (also the parking). What we liked was the adventure, the architecture and the views. We were glad we came and made really nice pics.

Linda D — Google review

The views from the top are out of this world! You can see so far and it’s breathtaking. The slide down the middle is definitely worth the 2€.The walk through the forest at tree top level just prior to arriving to the tower is nothing short of awesome.

Scott G — Google review

Do not miss the slide, it’s a very easy one that anyone can do.Kids below 4yrs should be accompanied by adults.Positives:Well maintained, safe wooden pathway like a bridge elevated from the ground level.Multiple engaging stops in between both for adults and kids. Like little adventure bridge crossing, know the birds, know the trees.Enough information everywhere.Place to sit and rest.Nice pathway for walk in the forest.Parking nearby.Negatives:You need to pay everywhere. 1st at the entrance to come on the wooden pathway that you can buy online too. 2nd to slide down which is just 2€. If you wish to enter kids play zone then its 8€ again. There is a wild line bridge nearby for which u need to buy tickets again.We were in line at the ticket counter, but decided to buy tickets online then n there and we could skip the line and enter the pathway.

Great way to start your journey in the forest! First started of with the raised platform through the woods. Gave some great views and could even see a squirrel. After that you can walk straight into the tower! Fun experience to wall up, and also some great views from above!Once there you can walk back, or take the slide for €2,- . Around the tower there is a small giftshop, an amazing playground for the kids and even a take a way snack shack. Al tho I have to recommend to go the ski lodge next to it for a greater lunching experience

Koenman5534 — Google review

Great place in the Black Forest. The tree top walk is very pleasant and even less able people will manage just fine. There are few kids entertainment stops along the way, unfortunately all in German. The viewing tower is great and the views from the top are breathtaking! And as for the slide - great fun, for it more than once! Getting there you can park a few hundred metres from the entrance, or you can take a train from the nearby town.

Dusan C — Google review

Great experience here, but you get charged for everything. The playground area cost 22€ for a family, going down the slide is 2€ each (bring some change, but the attendant up there can usually give some change for paper) just walking up the in the forest bridge way cost quite a bit. But it's fun and your kids will have a great time. To save some money bring your own food and drinks.

David K — Google review

What an amazing place. Sorta intimidating at first, walking along the tree tops, but I trust German engineering. When we arrived at the spiral tower, we had to pause for a moment to take it all in. We circled to the top and were rewarded with a spectacular view. If you're anywhere near this place, it is a must see.

Bigg M — Google review

A very challenging and inspired idea to create this passage with the related tower, where you can take advantage of a special view and a very clean and fresh air.During the path there are also many passages to test the skills related to balance at height.The biggest challenge in the tower - Baumwipfelpfad, however, is to go down the slide with the enchanted carpet, in just 15 seconds to the bottom.

Adrian B — Google review

Nice view and easy to get to. You walk the wood pathway up and then the ground pathway back after exploring. You need 2€ to go down the slide. Which is easy and much fun. I had a rucksack with me and took it.

Está muy bien la excursión por las pasarelas entre los árboles, el mirador y el tobogán (tener en cuenta que para la l tobogán hay que pagar €2 en una maquina arriba en efectivo)vale la pena el pago,Lo que me parece excesivo es que tienes que pagar para ir la parque de niños que hay al lado (€8) por persona y los menores de 12 tienen que ir acompañados, o sea que pagas también para estar sentado dentro (eso sí,muy buenos los juegos). Luego para ir al puente colgante también tienes que pagar antes de subir al puente, a mano derecha hay una máquina, lo bueno que se puede pagar con tarjeta.El lugar es muy bonito y puedes caminar por muchas rutas, mucha naturaleza!!!!!Recomiendo hacer la excursión tanto del mirador como la del puente.(Translated by Google)The excursion along the walkways between the trees, the viewpoint and the slide is very good (keep in mind that for the first slide you have to pay €2 in a machine upstairs in cash) it is worth the payment,What seems excessive to me is that you have to pay to go to the children's park next door (€8) per person and children under 12 have to be accompanied, meaning you also pay to sit inside (although, very good games). Then to go to the suspension bridge you also have to pay before getting on the bridge, on the right hand side there is a machine, the good thing is that you can pay with a card.The place is very beautiful and you can walk along many routes, lots of nature!!!!!I recommend doing the excursion to both the viewpoint and the bridge.

The area is really nice for families with children a lot of activities can be done. It is a bit expensive all in all for 1 person with Bahn to drive up and ticket to enter and to have a drink 30 euros and then you need to buy extra ticket for the bride line was also nice but not for 10 euros ticket

Issa A — Google review

Great walk over a wooden elevated passage (highest point is something like 9 meters above the ground). Has a couple of funny activities along the way. It ends in a massive round spiral tower. The view from the top is fantastic. There is a slide in the inside of the tower than you can ride down. One less star because you have to pay extra 2 euros to use it. The general entrance for us was 29 euros for a family ticket which, to my taste, was expensive enough.This place fails to inform you via the internet that there is a large children playground right on the exit that costs additional 22 euros for a family ticket. The information at the site is also not super clear. Gave a bit of very touristic "we will charge for everything we possible can" vibes.A joint ticket of some sort would make sense (adding the bridge 1 km away would make even more sense).All and all, a fun experience that is actually not super expensive

Mateo M — Google review

The location is very nice, but we were very disappointed to find the slide (main attraction) closed, and no one mentioned this at the entrance. With entrance tickets costing over 12 euros each, our group of seven spent nearly 100 euros just to walk through the woods.When we talked to the staff, they just informed that the slide had an extra cost of 2 euros and that we could complain through the website.The parking is 3 additional euros…

Elisa C — Google review

If you wanna see something different, you can definitely visit this place. It’s not that high, meaning person of any age can walk to the top. Also, while coming down, if you wanna do something different, you can also slide down via tube slide. Also, there is a children park right next to it where kids can play and do different activities.

Ruchir N — Google review

Awesome way to view the Black Forest - from above it! My family and spent about 2 and a half hours wandering around here. There's a snack bar and gift shop at one point. Definitely worth the stop to explore and do not skip using the slide to come back down!

Pros:- The views are amazing. The trail offers stunning views of the Black Forest, and on a clear day, you can see for miles.- The trail is accessible to people of all ages and abilities. The path is wide and paved, and there are no stairs.- There are educational exhibits along the trail that teach visitors about the Black Forest ecosystem.- There is a playground at the end of the trail for kids to play on.Cons:- The admission price is a bit steep. Adults pay €18.50, children (6-17 years) pay €13.50, and children under 6 are free.- The trail can be crowded, especially on weekends and holidays.- There is a 55 meter slide at the end of the trail that costs €2 to use (a bit overpriced).- Playground us additional €8, so do the math.- Parking is usually full, so you have to walk 30 min. through the forest from another parking spot or take the funicular (more experiences).

Labai puikiai visa kompanija praleidome laiką. Pasitaikė graži diena,tai šalta nebuvo,net užlipus į viršų, šiaip rekomenduoja pasiimti megztuką,nes viršuje vėjas jaučiasi. Tikrai rekomenduoja nusileidimą suktų vamzdžiu. Malonūs įspūdžiai. Tiesa prie jo reikėjo truputį palaukti eilėje. Eilėje reikėjo palaukti ir prie kasos,kad nusipirkti bilietą į šį bokštą.Bet gerai praleistas laikas visai šeimai kartu. Vaikams taip pat daug veiklos ir įspūdžių. Patogus ,nebrangus parkingas. Visur nuorodos,lengvai viską radome. Yra WC.(Translated by Google)The whole company had a great time. It was a beautiful day, it wasn't cold, even after going up, it is recommended to take a sweater, because you can feel the wind at the top. Definitely recommend the spin tube descent. Pleasant impressions. It was true that you had to wait in line for a while. You had to wait in line at the ticket office to buy a ticket to this tower.But a good time for the whole family together. There are also many activities and experiences for children. Convenient, inexpensive parking. Links are everywhere, we found everything easily. There is a WC.

Do you have a day to spend !! then don't look further, come here to have a great pleasant day.To reach Baumwipfelpfad, catch train from Pforzheim to Bad Wildbad or tram service is available connecting these two places. This little town is the base point of the Baumwipfelpfad.From here if you like to have a hiking, you can choose the walking path or you an adventure cyclist, cycle track is also available. Walking is not so hard.The next option is the funicular cable car from the town centre to the top costing 4€ one side. This is a great option if you like to sit down, relax and have a 360° view of the surroundings.At top you have lite food restaurants and toilets.Then you enter the Baumwipfelpfad park after a short walk, which costs 12.50€ per person. ( The thing to notice here is the park opens from 9.30am to 6.00pm, you need to buy ticket by at least one hour before closing time i.e 5.00pm ). Then you start the walk on treetop bridges up until the structure. Here you can have the slide from the top of the structure to the base which cost 2€ for each slide. And on the top of the structure an open viewing deck is there.Kids playing ground with activities are also available there around the structure.

This was an amazing park. We really enjoyed walking the beautiful paths. We also climbed the tower and rode down slide. The tower cost 13.50 for aldults and students 11.50 The slide was 2 euros. The view at the top of the tower was extremely beautiful. On the way up the tower they had little challenges for you to do if desired like swinging ladder steps or balancing on moving balance beam. The park and tower are very well maintained. They also have a great playground for children with air mat, swings, tunnel forts , etc. I believe their is a fee to use.

This place is just ok. It's designed very poorly. You first get hit up to pay for a family card price of at least 30€ to just walk on a path in the trees which is quite cute but my goodness, the price. What??!!So you end up at the spiral slide. No elevator as far as I could see for handicap so good luck person pushing the wheel chair you now get to push it up 10 flights of stairs essentially. And have the chair to somehow claim again later. Also annoying was the adults who are doing all the kid bridges so it would make a massive line so you'd have to watch a goofy adult struggle to do a kid activity while your kids waited for them to finish because of course they're slow and scared. See my video for adults doing kid activities and holding up the line. I think the place needs a reminder that maybe some things are left for kids only lol.Then you leave. No way to repeat it. 2 euros each ride. Is it not logical to then have a gate so that all the kids can go up there and continually write it as their parents hand them a two-euro coin And run out their energy? Nope. It's once and done. The entire park. Like, that's it. Terrible idea.So you leave, you see a gift shop. And food. And a massive amazing playground area. Well you just paid a fortune you assume that's included. NOPE! More 30€ minimum. Unreal.So we pay that and that is fine but it felt like a real shakedown and false advertising.The worst part is on your way out. You can't even let your kid run up the spiral to do the slide one more time. I think the business probably left 20 euros on the table easily from not letting our party allow the kids to slide, I can't imagine the hundreds and hundreds each day they are leaving on the table. Bizarre. And that's just one family, they could print money.It was a fine enough stop but I will never return. We saw they have dozens of other locations and when I first started the adventure I took pictures of old locations. Excited for it but after the shakedown and ridiculous cost.. pass.So I guess you can go if you want.. It's a nice walking area. But it's just really really expensive.

This is a wonderful way to spend the day. It is a reasonable value, a little out of the way, but you need to be to be this deep into the beautiful Black Forest scenery. The tower area had a lot of activities for children (and, of course, the slide), so I would recommend setting aside at least half a day; bring the kids and a picnic lunch. Once the formal walk and sightseeing portion is done, there are numerous hiking trails to explore or just sit and soak it in. I recommend going early, before the crowds show up.

Not first time visited places like this. Before was in Slovakia, Denmark and Germany. Second time this year in Germany. Great that we have had chance visit during Christmas when lights are on. First time during dusk time just great for sunset. Car park around €5-10. When you leave and pass shop with souvenirs you have to chance to buy food snacks and drinks. Shame that it’s not many spaces you can seat and eat. Toilets available. Slide cost extra €2 but wasn’t available for some reason. Clean and tidy. Great views from top. Everywhere you can pay by card. Hope you enjoy as we did.

Crafty W — Google review

Highly recommend. It has fantastic views of the black forest. Unsure why people are moaning about a €2 charge for the slide down... It is optional and we didn't mind paying. It's something different. Lovely day out. There's a gift shop, play area for kids and a food hut. Parking is reasonable and less than a 10 minute walk to the entrance

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

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

Easy parking in middle of town. Toilets at side of car park. Edge of square filled with interesting shops and restaurants. Fountains are nice to watch, or run through, depending on your preference! A couple of minutes walk along the main road will lead to more shops and places to eat.

Waterfalls

Triberg Waterfalls, touted as one of Germany's highest waterfalls, is a must-visit attraction in Triberg. Although it may not hold the title for the absolute highest waterfall in Germany, standing at 162 meters tall and cascading down 7 steps into the valley below, it certainly offers an impressive sight. Accessible via a hiking trail, this paid attraction has managed to preserve its natural beauty.

We visited in October and it was a breathtaking walk. My children loved the playground before and after we took the shortest trek up to the falls. There are restrooms at the entrance. We would love to visit again.

Kim D — Google review

I highly recommend going now during the fall when the leaves are changing colors. It is absolutely stunning. There are three parking areas, two small ones at the top and the middle…with the largest at the bottom. If you want a good hike up to get the blood flowing, park at the bottom. Parking is inexpensive. Bring coins.

This waterfall I found pretty nice and not too stressful to navigate. There’s a ticket to be purchased before or at the entrance , I like that there’s various angles to view the fall and also that they have provided Benches and rest areas for people who need to take a break from all the climbing and walking. It is located in a beautiful town and is a must visit ! Loved it

Lawal D — Google review

I have been here a couple of times and really enjoy this beautiful town in black forest. The waterfall itself is the main attraction in the town. It's definitely worth the visit once but, the charm of the town is something else. A bus goes from Triberg station to the market area from where, you need to walk around 200 meters to reach the entrance. Check the DB app for transport information as Google maps doesn't show the bus information (at least this was the case for me, every time I visited).

This place is good to spend your evening with or without family. Its not that tough hike. There are two ways if you wish to complete the hike, one is simple way they have made who is not in mood to go breathless and other one is steep where you can shred some fats. But both the ways are not tough at all. It is worth to see this waterfall not only in summer but in winter. Since we were students we got the ticket in 7.5 € per person otherwise it is 8€ for adult. There are benches at all the level and bridge where you can stop by and relax and enjoy the view. Inside there are no counters to buy food but you can bring ur drink n food if you wish. Outside of waterfall you have lot many restaurants where you can enjoy. Its kinda tourist place so you will find international people as well. Overall it's good place to visit once at least to chill and relax.

Ein sehr schöner Ort. Warum dann "nur" 4 Sterne?Die Wasserfälle sind sehr touristisch, sobald man aber auf den Naturpfad umsteigt, kann man auch etwas in Ruhe wandern. Insgesamt ist das Gelände aber überschaubar. Wir sind direkt morgens gekommen und hatten keine Wartezeit , aber als wir gegangen sind war dort eine echt lange Schlange.Der Eintritt kostet 8 Euro, damit kann man aber auch umsonst sich das Heimatmuseum noch anschauen.(Translated by Google)A very nice place. Then why “only” 4 stars?The waterfalls are very touristy, but once you switch to the nature trail, you can also hike in peace. Overall, the area is manageable. We came first thing in the morning and didn't have to wait, but when we left there was a really long line.Admission costs 8 euros, but you can also look at the local museum for free.

I thought I had fallen face first into a tourist trap when I saw the line for tickets, but fortunately it was a very nice, non commercial experience. Besides the ticket and maybe some peanuts for the squirrels, they don't try to sell you anything. It was busy, but because there are several levels and walkways, people spread out. I had no problems taking photo's without other people in them. The falls themselves are gorgious.Your entrance ticket also gives access to the Schwarzwald Museum a few meters down the road, which I really enjoyed as well.

RikFTK — Google review

After a long trek it's very pleasant feeling to see waterfalls, here there are several ways to trek, we can go up or down and vice versa and also different routes for going up for path finders. We have to take a ticket at the entry anyway. We will get a nice view if we see it from very bottom.

Pretty outstanding. Very accessible on paved walking paths, is it a little pricey at 7 Euros per person for access to a short hike up the trail, yes, but you are here for the experience not the low cost.

Eric D — Google review

A lovely place to go in summer as the water spray is cooling. At first the climb is relatively steep, but after that it winds gently through the woods. There are apparently red squirrels although I saw none, and I paddled in the higher pools in the ice cold water, which is also very welcome in the summer heat. Triberg itself is pretty, scenic and worth seeing.

Philippa L — Google review

Great day out. Entry fee of €6 I think, cash only, ATM on site but it charges €3. Need to wear hard hats, plenty of antibac wipes if needed. Route is well designed, you don't need the strongest of calf muscles but there are a lot of steps. There is a round route walk you can take once at the top of the waterfall route taking you through a forest (a long steep incline), then open countryside to a chapel, and finally down a woodland path. Route takes about 3 and half hours at a steady pace (I'm not a fast walker). The chapel has fresh running water to drink outside.

Erstaunliches Erlebnis. Die Wasserfälle und die dazugehörigen Naturpfade waren wirklich ein Genuss. Man benötigt ein Ticket, aber es lohnt sich definitiv. Es gibt verschiedene Ebenen der Wasserfälle und man kann ziemlich weit hinaufgehen. Definitiv eine Sehenswürdigkeit, die man gesehen haben muss.(Translated by Google)Amazing experience. The waterfalls and associated nature trails were truly a delight. You need a ticket, but it's definitely worth it. There are different levels of the waterfalls and you can go quite far up.

The Triberger Waterfalls are absolutely stunning! This place is a must-visit if you love nature and hiking. The sound of the rushing water and the fresh air are simply magical.Why only 4 stars? While the waterfalls are incredible, the area is very touristy. However, once you switch to the nature trail, you can enjoy a peaceful hike away from the crowds. The entire area is fairly compact, making it easy to explore in a few hours.Pro Tips: Arrive early in the morning to avoid long wait times. We had no wait when we arrived, but there was a huge line when we left. The entrance fee is €8, which also grants you free access to the local history museum. Note: American Express is not accepted.Despite the touristy vibe, the experience was amazing. The waterfalls have various levels, and you can hike pretty high up. It’s definitely a sight you shouldn’t miss if you’re in the area!

My second time here. And it's just as stunning as I remember it. And made even better by the presence of the quaint little cafe at the bottom right on the river, with good food, fair prices.If walking, hills, mountains and waterfalls are your thing, ADD THIS to your bucket list.

Beautiful waterfall with a well laid out series of paths to walk the height of the falls, taking in various views of the fast flowing water. Fairly tame red squirrel in abundance alongside other fauna.Beware whilst these are good quality pavement-like paths they are, by necessity, very, very steep in parts!

Due to winter season we were only able to do partial way that coated about 6/7 euro each.. we went in like 10min hiking for someone short,, for tall and those who hike that was about 5-7min walk.. still the waterfall was really nice and was not disappointed.. definitely would be more worth it in the summer..

Nice waterfalls in a beautiful forest with some nice walking routes. Entrance is 8 euros, which is a bit much for something that was created by nature.There’s different walking routes, so you can choose the easier or more steep route. Please note that if you exit the park, the paths could be rocky and not suitable for sneakers or flipflops - depending on the chosen path.

Gorgeous place. The green moss surrounding the waterfall makes me think at prehistoric times. I expect dinosaurs to pop out from behind the trees. The waterfall is not busy at all in winter but you might not be able to go all the way up due to ice and snow. The entrance is only 6 euro and it includes the Black Forest museum and the Triberg Fantasy.

Beautiful waterfalls! Many places to click amazing photos! The roads are big enough to walk, and you can hike alongside the majestic waterfalls! The view of the city is awesome as well! A lot you can hike up, and even though it was crowded, we had enough space to walk! Recommended!

I am so glad we went. If you park at the parking garage in town, the waterfalls are only a short walk up the hill. There is an entrance fee (about 8€ for grown ups) but it also includes the entrance fee to the Black Forest Museum and entrance to Triberg Fantasy. Make sure to hang on to the receipt!There are two ways to see the falls. One easy way and one strenuous. We are both middle-aged, out of shape people, and we did the strenuous walk, no problem. There is so much to see that you will catch enough breaks. There are also different levels you can walk. Several bridges crossing the falls, giving you the chance to end your walk and walk back to the entrance. It is beautiful, and the shade is great in the summer heat.

Wir waren hier für eine Wanderung bei schlechtem Wetter.Die Wege sind meist gut befestigt, aber Wanderschuhe sollte man dennoch anhaben, da es rutschig sein kann - ich denke mal auch bei gutem Wetter durch den Wasserfall.Der Eintritt kostet 6€ und man braucht ca 1 Stunde um alles gut besichtigt zu haben.In der Umgebung gibt es viele Cafés und Restaurants wo man danach essen gehen kann.(Translated by Google)We were here for a hike in bad weather.The paths are usually well paved, but you should still wear hiking boots as it can be slippery - I think even in good weather due to the waterfall.Entry costs €6 and it takes about an hour to see everything well.There are many cafes and restaurants in the area where you can eat afterwards.

It was soo nice to walk up and see the the waterfall. There is a green side and a red side, the green is an easy trail with gradual slopes and the red side is a harder trail with steep slopes. We wore hiking boots but there were a few people in regular tennis shoes.

The Triberg Waterfalls in Germany's Black Forest are a captivating natural spectacle, cascading over seven tiers and dropping a total of 163 meters. The rush of water, surrounded by lush greenery, creates an immersive experience for visitors.Trails winding through the forest provide various viewpoints, offering different perspectives of the falls. The sound of the roaring water and the mist in the air add to the enchantment of the surroundings.Accessible to all, these falls offer a serene escape and an opportunity to immerse yourself in the raw beauty of nature. Whether seeking adventure or tranquility, the Triberg Waterfalls provide an awe-inspiring encounter with one of Germany's natural treasures.

Wirklich sehr schönes Naturschauspiel! Allerdings sind die Eintrittspreise meiner Meinung nach etwas happig. Ich verstehe das hier einige Dinge unterhalten werden müssen (Brücken, Wege, usw.) und dies auch Geld kostet, allerdings fühle ich mich als Tourist ziemlich abgezockt. Zumal das Parken im Ort ja auch noch mal Geld kostet.(Translated by Google)Really very beautiful natural spectacle! However, in my opinion, the entrance fees are a bit steep. I understand that some things need to be maintained here (bridges, paths, etc.) and that this costs money, but as a tourist I feel pretty ripped off. Especially since parking in town also costs money.

Visited Triberg Waterfalls with my wife and two kids, and it was an amazing experience!The walking trails are well-marked and offer multiple viewpoints, each providing a unique perspective of the falls.If you're driving, I highly recommend parking at the lot at the top for easier access and a less steep walk.

Nice and small hikes with moderate slope that can be completed comfortably by anybody. Be aware of checkpoints on the trail as once you pass them, you can’t go back.

It’s nice to spend an evening in town of Triberg , it’s calm around and with lots of places to buy gifts if you are traveling. The waterfalls itself is a small walk under thick trees and good for photos. You may have a higher chance of snowfall here if that interests you.
