Sights & Landmarks
The world's largest miniature railroad, Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany, is a fascinating place to visit with its many details and scenes from different parts of the world. The exhibits are carefully detailed and often include special effects such as fire trucks putting out fires or skiers descending the Swiss mountain.
Absolutely amazing! Good for both kids and adults to visit. The level of detail required to create these structures must have taken countless hours. You can take all the time you need here to admire the intricacies.After you gain entry, head up to the top floor and start your journey! You'll be able to experience both day and night scenes which will be simulated periodically. More cities are in development so definitely visit again next time.

I had an unforgettable visit to Miniature Wunderland in Hamburg last weekend! This place offers a truly unique experience with meticulously detailed miniatures representing various cities worldwide, predominantly European ones. The highlight for me was the intricate train networks and the miniature airport with planes taking off and landing. It was a bit crowded, but the 20 euro adult ticket was worth every penny. The presence of miniature shops, a food court, and restroom facilities made the visit even more convenient. Miniature Wunderland is a must-see attraction for anyone in Hamburg!

This is a really awesome place, worth a visit of a long time.My only downside to this place, is the amount of people visiting at the same time.We were exhausted and hungry after 2,5 hours. But we could have spent double the time if we let ourselves dive into the details of each area.I would definitely recommend visiting Miniatur Wunderland!

Wir sind sehr beeindruckt. Mein Sohn ist erst 4 Jahre alt, aber wir haben 4 Stunden im Museum verbracht und hätten problemlos den ganzen Tag dort verbringen können! Alles ist bis ins kleinste Detail durchdacht! Mit großer Liebe, aber auch mit Humor! Und die Tatsache, dass im Museum alle 15 Minuten der Tag zur Nacht wird, ist absolut fantastisch!!! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder! Es ist ein Meisterwerk!!!!!!! Das Beste, was ich in meinem Leben gesehen habe!!!!! Beim Anblick der einzelnen Installationen friert einem das Herz ein. Vor der Tour wird ein Reiseführer ausgegeben. Sie können das Wort erraten. Und viel Geld gewinnen :)(Translated by Google)We are very impressed. My son is only 4 years old, but we spent 4 hours at the museum and could have easily spent the whole day there! Everything is thought out down to the smallest detail! With great love, but also with humor! And the fact that day turns into night every 15 minutes in the museum is absolutely fantastic!!! We will be back definitely! It's a masterpiece!!!!!!! The best thing I have seen in my life!!!!! When you look at the individual installations your heart freezes. A guidebook will be issued before the tour. You can guess the word. And win a lot of money :)

Visited on 07.08.24Arrived 10 minutes early but got told to wait another 5 minutes until our ticket entry they are decently strict with arrival times and entry times.Walked through the whole exhibit but was very crowded, unfortunately did not get to see the airport planes take off from their runway, however, it wasn't a problem as I enjoyed everything else to see there as well. I would have liked to stay longer but decided to head home for food as tickets were in a decently late slot.If you plan to go here you should book a few days or weeks in advance. I did day before booking but only have 7pm as my option.Was a very fun and cool experience.

This place is truly a marvel, even if you're not a model making fan.All the models are crafted with exceptional detail and they're full of buttons for the whole visiting experience to turn from passive to interactive at will.On the other side, the place feels very touristy, with souvenir shops packed with unrelated stuff, and a "restaurant" too. Too much people can ruin your experience, and a Saturday evening would not be the perfect day to be there.

Such an extraordinary experience! I'm amazed 👏🏻. Every detail, every city, everything is just perfect. I was not expecting so much from this place and was absolutely positively surprised. Great job! Honestly, I think adults enjoy more than kids, as we can appreciate more the details... but it is a nice place for all ages. It is a must in Hamburg for sure! Better to buy the tickets in advance.

Just wow !!! It's an amazing museum. So much to see and be amazed. We spent around 4 hours seeing all the models. The best was the airport and airplane model. It's wonderful place to get kids and even the old ones enjoy the museum. There are many different models. Buying tickets in advance is highly recommended. There is a restaurant as well in the museum. Breakfast and lunch options were good. I recommend booking tickets for the morning slot so that you have enough time to explore the whole museum.

Parking is very restrictive in this area so you are better parking away and walking to the place. The cafe served really nice food and all the staff were polite. The models themselves were very impressive especially with how they interlink. The railway control room is also very impressive.

Cost 20.50 for an adult ticket.A great place to spend a couple of hours. Be amazed by the displays.There is a simulation of day and night views of all the displays.The airport seems to be the most popular. I had a wonderful visit.There is a canteen within the museum. So one can rest and have a bite before continuing.

Nice spot. It took us around 2 hours to see the whole thing. The cost is 20 euro per person, which is interesting to see but, in my opinion, not a must. We went on Sunday, and it was packed it was hard to get near to the expositions to look closely

Wir waren am Wochenende in Hamburg und mein Mann wollte schon seit Jahren ins Wunderland. Daher haben wir einige Monate vor unseren Besuch schon sie Karten online bestellt. Das ging absolut problemlos. Wir waren recht früh dran (08:00-08:30 Eintrittszeitraum) und mussten auch nicht warten. Insgesamt waren wir etwas über 5 Stunden da. Und was soll ich sagen: Es war traumhaft. Die Details waren unglaublich und die Arbeit die dahinter steckt muss immens sein. Es steckt da so viel Liebe im Detail - wir waren und sind begeistert. Insgesamt waren wir zu viert. Mein Mann, unsere Tochter (6J.)meine Mutter und ich. Somit kann ich mit recht behaupten das das Wunderland etwas für Jung und Alt ist. Wir haben auch vor Ort gegessen und es war sehr lecker, die Portionen waren sehr großzügig und preislich absolut in Ordnung. Auf jeden Fall ein Besuch wert.(Translated by Google)We were in Hamburg at the weekend and my husband had wanted to go to Wonderland for years. That's why we ordered tickets online a few months before our visit. That went absolutely smoothly. We were there quite early (08:00-08:30 entry period) and didn't have to wait. In total we were there for a little over 5 hours. And what can I say: it was fantastic. The details were incredible and the work that went into it must be immense. There is so much love in the detail - we were and are thrilled. There were four of us in total. My husband, our daughter (6 years old), my mother and I. So I can rightly say that Wonderland is something for young and old. We also ate there and it was very tasty, the portions were very generous and the price was absolutely right. Definitely worth a visit.

One of the most amazing miniature worlds that I have visited. Have been to other such places in south east asian countries which are also very good, but this was on another level. The attention to detail in every miniature is just awesome. Also did their virtual reality tour which was also just a wonderful experience. Highly suggest to visit this place on your trip to Hamburg, totally loved the overall experience. Do book the tickets in advance (online).

I had high expectations.Thought the models would be larger. They are h0 scale, so 1:87The models and figures are mind blowing.The detailed models of structures and landscapes around the world are magnificent. By gazing at the tremendous level of detail one gets a true sense of the scale of human activity on earth. The scale and vastness of our environmental impact.One could spend all day there.Amazzzing.Will definitely go back.

Absolutely astonishing, there’s a million adjectives I could say about this place and I can’t seem to find a word for this masterpiece. The first sections were gorgeous the rooms are air-conditioned and that but also the details of every single man in the huge miniature model of Hamburg,Switzerland,Austria and the alps is living. I can visually guess that about 89 percent of all models is movable. Every aspect of the model including underground and above in the sky is shown in full detail. The posters for example are always made in local languages going with the theme.The most outstanding part for me was the airport (since I am a huge avgeek myself) the details as I can see is stringent to a almost horrible level. The airplanes are just so lively as if they were real. Almost every model plane can taxi by itself and a lot of them can even takeoff and land by them self even with features such as gear-tilt included. There’s also the airbus beluga, Junker 52, Boeing 777-300 ER etc.I would say that the this place is really really really worth your visit because you can feel the heart of the builders, you can feel that they build for the fun, not for the money!Please, if you every happened to read this. Go to Hamburg and visit this place. Bucket-list worthy!

Every time I am in Hamburg I visit this place, and it never fails to impress me. There are always some new details I get go notice, or completely new set-ups to explore (like South America this time, Monaco is now work in progress). Make sure to buy the ticket in advance and there is almost no waiting time. Also, make sure to devote enough time, as you can easily spend here whole day! ✨

Great museum! We spent over 5 hours on our visit, and it felt short. The model trains, cars, boats, and airplanes are all fantastic, and the attention to detail is second to none. All the little easter eggs are fun to find! Highly recommend!
P G — Google review
It’s beautiful, it’s mesmerizing, you’d have to spend at least two full days there to discover most of the little details. I’ve been here at least 8 times, and I keep finding new things every single time. However, the place is always completely filled with people, no matter what day it is. I HIGHLY recommend purchasing your tickets online at least one week before, to have a chance at getting in at a normal time. Unless of course you want to stand in a queue for 5 hours, not gonna judge that.

Amazing 🤩 has been on my bucket list for many many years, I did 2 back stage tours. In total I spent about 10 hours here! And I'm sure there were lots of little details I still didn't see. The food in the diner is very reasonably priced and is large servings!Overall very satisfied. This place is amazing.

Such an AMAZING place! They even had a control center. Was so mesmerized by the amount of detail they put in all the cities. The airport with all the planes taking off and everything else happening there made it feel like it was connected to a real airport. The historic dioramas were really interesting too - being able to see how things changed over time. Definitely had a great time here and will be back again next time.

We went here as a family and had a very enjoyable time. I recommend you schedule a whole day here. We spent 5 hours here. There are plenty of different countries on view including Germany,Italy, America and Switzerland. If you look closely there are many hidden jokes like the millennium falcon at the airport and Batman and Robin scaling one of the buildings. We also did the virtual reality part of the tour which was amazing. You can also have a 3D picture taken which you can have as a plastic figure. Loved it.

Einfach nur beeindruckend und unglaublich groß. Überall gibt es etwas zu entdecken und man versinkt förmlich in dieceifene Kindheit zurück.Großartig ist die Lösung mit dem terminierten Einlass. So gibt es eigentlich keine Warteschlangen (zumindest als wir in den Sommerferien dort waren) und auch wenn es "voll" ist, kann man sich trotzdem alles anschauen.Tipp: Nehmt Euch viel Zeit ob der Größe der Ausstellung. Ein Vormittag oder ein Nachmittag reichen fast nicht aus.(Translated by Google)Simply impressive and incredibly big. There is something to discover everywhere and you literally sink back into your childhood.The solution with timed entry is great. So there are actually no queues (at least when we were there during the summer holidays) and even if it is "full", you can still see everything.Tip: Take your time considering the size of the exhibition. A morning or an afternoon is almost not enough.

Visited on 6th June, 2024. Been on the bucket list for a while and finally made it. Lots of people have posted pics, but some of the the ones I have posted are from the behind the scenes tours.Two big tips: One: Go early, no queue, less people there, your ticket is for the whole day, you might as well make the most of it.Two: Do a least one of the behind the scenes tours. It gives you a better idea of the work that has gone into this endeavour. They are available in English and German. Also, if you have a partner who is not so much into model trains, tell them that it is it is not so much about model railways, but complete miniature worlds. Honestly the the level of detail and all of the little scenes are all really well done. You won't need to leave for lunch either, as they have a cafeteria and the seats are from real railway carriages.The first three photos are from the behind scenes tours. The last three are to give you an idea of the detail involved. Initially you see a mountain holiday retreat, but when you look more closely you will see a man standing at a table, with cakes on the table, and a lady lying down reading a book.

We started exploring at 8 a.m., and we were there until after 5 p.m!It's a totally different experience compared to anything else, and if you have a passion for details and digging into them, you're gonna love it!Suggestions for the best experience:1. Charged Phones2. Bottle of Water3. Eat good breakfast, so you're full for the day4. Wear comfortable shoes5. Bring some nuts with you so you don't have to waste for lunch6. Take your glasses if you have trouble seeing tint things in distance :)7. Patience and passion ❤️

Completely, totally and utterly brilliant in every way. Spent over 6 hours there and only saw one of the two main floors. Exceptionally good value. Excellent proper food in the bistro - lots of seats and sockets to recharge phones etc. Again, great value. All facilities excellent. The whole place is just superb - can't fault it in any way. Best to book ahead - and try to go as early as possible.

The moment you enter in, you will be taken into a different world.Everything is taken minute care to represent the real world in miniatures.The people, moving restless trains of different types, the passengers inside the train, huge stadium and the spectators, Swiss alps, formula 1 track of Monaco, the busiest airport takeoffs and the sincere ground staff in vehicles, the urban apartments to country houses with cool parties, arenas of Rome……So lively….It will take day if you have time and minimum three hours to watch.It’s great that, they are coming up with new themes and expanding.It’s a kids world and every adult is a kid there.

Muss man gesehen haben. Eine Flut an Eindrücken und Bildern. Soviel Detail und Technik zugleich. Ein wirkliches Kunstwerk zum bestaunen und immer wieder neu entdecken.

Wonder unbelievable trains by country museum. Easy to spend hours to see everything. The airport and planes landing amd takeoff were the most impressive for me. Should buy tickets in advance. If you come day of expect to wait 1 to 3 hours before entering.

They were tastefully done displays that were pleasing to all. I could spend hours here because of the incredibly lifelike figures and activities. Before returning to the exhibit, you can rest your feet and take a break at one of the restaurants. Strongly advised.

Great experience!! Wish we had known how big and nice it was, we would have given ourselves more time. We arrive 23:30, since those were the only tickets available. Pls book well in advance to get a better time! Even at 23:30 it was still amazing. Just wish we had more time, there was so much to see and do. They had buttons for many of the things where something would happen. Also the light changes in intervals from daylight to nighttime and some of the buttons only work in nighttime. Super cool! If ever we’re in Hamburg again, we would definitely go for either half a day or the whole day.

It's a brilliant place to visit. Everything is done with so much love for detail and there are so many things to see.I suggest booking in advance and going early or late to avoid bog crowds. You can easily spend many hours there.The only thing I did not enjoy was their shop, since a lot of the stuff they sell does not really match the place itself.

Super cool! you could spend the whole day here and still not have seen everything. The staff are very friendly and the bistro is a nice place to rest. You can tell a lot of hard work and creativity went into the design of all the exhibits and there are hidden gems everywhere, including trains running right below your feet!

Das Wunderland ist ja in den Medien gut vertreten. Trotzdem ist der Besuch keine Enttäuschung, ganz im Gegenteil. Die Anlagen sind weitläufig und wirklich fantastisch. Ich hatte ein Ticket unter der Woche ab 20 Uhr. Auch um diese Uhrzeit ist das Wunderland noch gut besucht, aber doch nicht überfüllt und alles ist gut zugänglich.(Translated by Google)Wunderland is well represented in the media. Nevertheless, the visit is not a disappointment, quite the opposite. The facilities are extensive and truly fantastic. I had a ticket during the week from 8 p.m. Even at this time of day, Wunderland is still well attended, but not overcrowded and everything is easily accessible.

It was like a miracle. I even couldn’t expect that it’s possible. Exhibition consists of a lot locations of the world in miniature. Also, various jobs and actions are represented by models that motions when you push the button. We all were impressed by tiny details took in account for each model. There is even represented: railway station and airport, Monaco racing and many and many other things. I definitely recommend this place as must visiting in Hamburg.I recommend buying ticket in advance because there are quite a lot people in any time of day. A good notice that museum works until 01:00, so it’s possible to visit it even at night :)

Fabulous place to visit! Image a warehouse FULL of train sets, over multiple floors and now add cars, trucks, planes, not only trains. Amazing! There’s a “night time” every 15 minutes or so where all the lights go down it looks stunning.The level of detail here is unreal, so many hours have gone into creating this.The gift shop is also very good, which is a nice change from most tourist attractions.

A must see when in Hamburg, completely worth it.I recommend you buy tickets 2 days in advance to avoid the waiting queue which can be even 2h long.It was kind of crowded however we managed to go trough it all, make sure you grab a map at the entrance.They have a setup where it turns to "night time" and some of the exhibits look better during that short time window.The airport exhibit was my favorite so pay attention to the landing and take off screen if you are looking for a particular model to see it in action.Make sure to visit the souvenir shop before you exit as they always have discounts on models.The entire visit may take arround 3h, even more.

Simply amazing! Was a fun experience. The amount of details is crazy. Also, the whole exhibition is interactive so you’ll get engaged as soon as you start your visit. I’d recommend getting the tickets beforehand because the place gets crowded. It has interesting exhibitions already but they’ll add more soon and I bet it’ll be just as great. You can easily spend 3 hours there. And you’ll enjoy it! They offer guided tours so you can see everything from a different perspective.

Magical place, even for someone who isn't into miniatures and train models. I've taken about 300-400, pictures/videos of this museum alone. Highly recommend allocating about 3h+ for this museum. I decided to go for the 10.45pm slot instead of the 5.45pm slot (to experience the maritime museum), forgetting there was a last train.

A really good venue if you are interested in miniture models! We were fascinated by the detail & the work gone into the huge amount of things to see on display.There is a restaurant, toilets & disabled facilities. Parking is limited and you have to pay.I would recommend buying a ticket in advance & calling to arrange your time slot. We arrived in the school summer holidays, so it was bound to be busy. We arrived late in the morning, buying tickets on the day & had to take a late afternoon timeslot for entry. There is too much to see for entry so late. You are on your feet for a while but you can take breaks in the canteen or limited seating areas. Worth a visit when in Hamburg.

The place was quite huge and so detail! Great place to go for diorama fans & those with children, you could truly spend hours here. My family and I spent about 4 hours, including shopping time.The only flaw was it was charged €0.50 for cloakroom per item (we didn’t use this) and there were no info about the locker room which was free. But overall was enjoyable and could be considered when you plan to visit Hamburg.

Ich war bereits 2022 das erste Mal dort. Mein Freund wollte unbedingt dorthin und am Anfang war ich etwas skeptisch, ob das Miniatur Wunderland für mich überhaupt interessant sein würde. Kurzum: Ich war völlig geflasht und beeindruckt. Wir haben ganz in Ruhe alles angesehen, waren abends dort und es war sehr gut besucht. Da es aber überall so viel zu sehen gibt, kann man einfach an eine andere Stelle gehen und so die volleren Ecken erstmal umgehen. Es gibt so viel zu entdecken, so viele Details. Ich habe seitdem immer mal wieder daran gedacht, dass ich dort noch einmal hin möchte.Bei einem Trip nach Hamburg ist das Miniatur Wunderland ein absolutes Muss. Wirklich ganz ganz große Klasse!(Translated by Google)I was there for the first time in 2022. My friend really wanted to go there and at the beginning I was a bit skeptical as to whether Miniatur Wunderland would be of any interest to me. In short: I was completely amazed and impressed. We looked at everything in peace, were there in the evening and it was very well attended. But since there is so much to see everywhere, you can simply go to another place and avoid the more crowded corners for now. There is so much to discover, so many details. Since then, I've thought about it from time to time that I would like to go there again.The Miniatur Wunderland is an absolute must on a trip to Hamburg. Really really great class!

This place is crazy amazing! The intricate details for each scene and the hidden "Easter eggs" (references to movies) are everywhere. It's awesome how the sets are interactive - one could spend a lot of time at the airport and the Formula 1 areas alone. The control center is appropriately staffed to address any problems in a timely manner. Definitely a must when in Hamburg Germany!?

Incredible place with extremely detailed models. The are some awesome experiences there too, like shrink into wonderland were you where a VR headset and you can pretend your in the models. There is a cafeteria with decent food especially for a museum. The gift shop is quite nice and reasonably priced. I would recommend buying tickets in advance as buying at the museum can take awhile, it is conveniently located in the center of Hamburg. The airport and trains are just beautiful, if you took a zoomed in picture someone would have no idea it was a model. Even the hall between sections has some lovely miniature landscapes, and a great view.

We had a wonderful time. There are multiple displays with extensive attention to detail. The airport, Swiss, Hamburg, Italian, Brazilian and Antarctica are a few that stood out for us. Every exhibit had a day and night view.It's a treat to watch the airplanes take off and land. There is a display which shows which planes are going to be next in the queue. Kids enjoyed watching the Millennium Falcon and the Concorde.There are chairs to rest occasionally and continue through the exhibits. A good cafe for a break and restrooms on every floor.The VR experience is wonderful and definitely recommend it. Also, when you purchase a ticket for any of the experiences, the entry time to the exhibition area is not fixed. You can enter all day.Access: Disabled friendly and has elevatorTickets: Definitely recommend pre-bookingCrowd: visit on a weekday afternoon- initially it was less crowded and got busy towards the eveningTime needed: Need at least 4-5hrs to see all the exhibits in detail. Shortlist the ones you definitely want to see.

There's also a restaurant with affordable meals where you can take a break and continue exploring.

Sights & Landmarks
The Baroque Lutheran church of St. Michael is one of the most famous churches in Hamburg, and as such, it is home to some of the city's most important attractions. Spanning almost two centuries, from the 1750s up until the 1770s, its architects attempted to fuse the grandeur and movement of Catholic Baroque with Protestant simplicity.
Cool church with a rich interior and, as odd as it sounds, exciting music! We didn't go up the platform for the view since went up the tower of another church, but even so it was worth the visit. Very walkable from the city center.
Marissa H — Google review
We visited the church after the observation deck but almost as an afterthought. We didn't go into the crypts sadly but the church was superb. It is relatively modern (just over a hundred years old) and the inside is bright and airy.We spent about twenty minutes listening to the organ recitals and it was lovely to see a church that is actually in use, rather than being just a museum. The crypts were €6 or an extra €2 if you do the tower trip.
Marcus H — Google review
is one of Hamburg's five Lutheran main churches and one of the most famous churches in the city. St. Michaelis is considered to be one of the finest Hanseatic Protestant baroque churches. It is dedicated to the Archangel Michael. A large bronze statue, standing above the portal of the church shows the archangel conquering the devil. The 132-meter high Baroque spire totally covered with copper is a prominent feature of Hamburg's skyline and has always been a landfall mark for ships sailing up the river Elbe. The composer and pianist Johannes Brahms was baptized on May 26, 1833 in this church. Offering 2,500 seats, the Michel is the largest church in Hamburg.The church has five organs including a Marcussen organ and a large Steinmeyer organ. The altar is 20 meters tall and was built from costly marble in 1910

Lovely church that's open to the public to stroll in and out freely. There is a crypt underground that has some pieces freely available to view with a paid exhibition beyond. The chapel is impressive, particularly the chancel and apse. Worth a visit and only a short stroll from the Harbour.

Der Hamburger Michel ist immer ein super Orientierungspunkt wenn man sich in der Stadt orientieren muss. Er ist weithin sichtbar. Ein Besuch des Turms ist sehr zu empfehlen, denn von hier oben hat man eine phantastische Aussicht(Translated by Google)The Hamburger Michel is always a great landmark when you need to orientate yourself in the city. He is visible from far away. A visit to the tower is highly recommended because you have a fantastic view from up here

Interesting building, great to visit for its architecture and the big organ inside. The view from the tower is wide and there is also an elevator to avoid the stairs. Nothing special to see in the crypt, I don't recommend buying a ticket for that
Madalina C — Google review
Pleasant church to visit, no charge to enter and just a small fee if you want to climb the tower. We didn't have time but apparently if you do this you get to see the inner workings of the clock. There is an elevator if you cannot manage 400+ steps.

Wir haben den Turm bestiegen. Gute Aussicht wenn man oben ist.Treppen mit 452 Stufen und Aufzug nach oben sind vorhanden.Letztlich ein kurzweiliges Vergnügen für einen doch ordentlichen Preis.Müssen wir kein zweites mal sehen.(Translated by Google)We climbed the tower. Good view when you're at the top.Stairs with 452 steps and an elevator to the top are available.Ultimately an entertaining pleasure for a decent price.We don't have to see it a second time.

Going up the tower is a must do activity when visiting Hamburg. The views are amazing and it provides a great overlook of the area. Take the stairs on the way down and see the inner workings of the tower and the construction.

Eine sehr beeindruckende Kirche mit einem außergewöhnlichen Sakralraum und einzigartiger Empore. Klare nüchtern weiße protestantische Gestaltung, Orgel und Altar prägen den Gesamteindruck. Der "Aufstieg" zum Turm ist per Treppe oder mit Lift möglich. Die Aussicht ist beeindruckend, der schönste graue Himmel und ein wenig Dunst machen schon fast eine C.D. Friedrich Anmutung.die 10.-€ Kombi-Eintritt sind gerechtfertigt. der Shop hält viel Schnickschnack bereit, da findet jeder was.(Translated by Google)A very impressive church with an extraordinary sacred space and unique gallery. Clear, sober white Protestant design, organ and altar characterize the overall impression. The “climb” to the tower is possible by stairs or lift. The view is impressive, the most beautiful gray sky and a little haze almost make a C.D. Friedrich impression.The €10 combined entry fee is justified. The shop has a lot of knick-knacks, so everyone will find something.

A beautiful and historic church. There is a short service and organ recital every day at 12 noon, which is worth attending.

The iconic St. Michael's is a must-see in Hamburg. But the tickets for the crypt and the tower elevator, they are well worth it. You can walk up the tower stairs, but 10 stories is to much for me. We went on the morning and then returned at night for Nachtmichel. Seeing the city at night, and the beautiful sunset over the harbor, was a highlight of our trip.

Really pretty, we listened to the candlelight Konzert in the Crypt. With music from Hans Zimmer playing in various famous movies like Inception, interstellar and so on it was a magical night.

I haven’t gone to the top of the tower yet since it was raining and cold (so I don’t want to get wet), but the church itself already makes me feel content and relieved that I’ve decided to pay a visit.Even more, the pianist were playing their piece! It makes the atmosphere even more thrilling and ethereal. I am amazed and it definitively managed to leave a huge memory in my heart! ❤️

Sehr schöne Kirche. Sollte auf jeden Fall besucht werden, wenn man mal in Hamburg ist. Von außen ist der Michel schon von weitem zu erkennen. Vor Ort kann die Kirche von innen besichtigt werden. Sehr zu empfehlen ist eine Auffahrt zur Plattform auf dem Turm. Die Tickets dazu gibt es neben an in einem Shop - wo es auch noch weiteren Merchandise gibt. Die ersten Stufen zum Turm muss man nehmen. Anschließend kommt man mit einem Aufzug auf die Plattform oder wenn man sportlich ist weiter über die Treppe. Der Ausblick von oben ist absolut herrlich.(Translated by Google)Very nice church. Should definitely be visited if you are in Hamburg. From the outside, the Michel can be seen from afar. The church can be viewed from the inside on site. A driveway to the platform on the tower is highly recommended. The tickets are available in a shop next door - where there is also other merchandise. You have to take the first steps to the tower. You can then take an elevator to the platform or, if you are sporty, take the stairs. The view from the top is absolutely magnificent.

City Hall
Sights & Landmarks
The magnificent City Hall, or Rathaus, located in the heart of Hamburg's Rathausmarkt is a vast neo-Renaissance structure adjacent to the Stock Exchange (Borse). Completed in 1897, the City Hall contains 647 rooms, many of which are open to the public for city's annual Long Night of Museums event.Notable features include the stunning painted ceiling in the Kaisersaal depicting German merchant shipping importance and it's opulent baroque style.
I took the tour in the Rathaus and I very like it. Unfortunately there was no possible to take it in English but the guide was very friendly and gave me the printed information in English.Also, near to the Rathaus is located the Christmas marked with very delicious food.

It is one of my favorite places in Hamburg. The square where it is located, the lake, the buildings, everything is historical and in a magnificent atmosphere. it always has a different feeling in summer and winter, it is the favorite place of all tourists :) If you're going to feed the mantis and the ducks by the lake, don't forget to take something with you :) especially in summer, everyone gathers here to have a drink, it is a very lively area.

Amazing Gothic architecture. Beautiful ceilings and ornate wall fixtures. Good museum collections. It's better to book online for secure slots in coming inside or you can come early as 10:00. Recommend to check the website as sometimes, a lot of government activities can disrupt opening. There are plenty of cafes and restaurant surrounding the area.

What a MAGNIFICENT building. It looks beautiful at any time of day, from every single angle. You can walk into the foyer for free and read up on the history of the building. HOWEVER, I would highly recommend catching a guided tour. We had a terrific time with our tour guide Patrick (English, 12pm, Friday, €5). It went over an hour long, and I learned so many interesting facts and laughed. so. much. Very enjoyable! Also very worth seeing all the different, lavishly decorated rooms.A tour through the Rathaus was definitely a highlight of our trip.

Schön gepflegtes Gebäude mit der Möglichkeit im Inneren eine Ausstellung anzuschauen. An schönen Tagen ist einiges an Betrieb vor dem Rathaus (wir waren an einem Sonntag um 9 Uhr in der früh dort). Außerdem kann man unter dem Rathaus in eine Bibliothek gehen und billig Bücher kaufen und lesen.(Translated by Google)Beautifully maintained building with the opportunity to view an exhibition inside. On nice days there is a lot of activity in front of the town hall (we were there at 9 a.m. on a Sunday). You can also go to a library under the town hall and buy and read books cheaply.

Just wonderful. It was built in late 1800s and it took 11 years to build it. The tower is 112 meters tall, so you can see the tower in every point of the city. There are 20 scrulptures pf the kings. Furthermore, there is a fountain inner courtyard. If you don't see this building in Hamburg, never say that you visited Hamburg.

### Hamburg Town Hall: A Stunning Neo-Renaissance MarvelHamburg Town Hall is an architectural masterpiece that stands proudly in the heart of Hamburg, Germany. This magnificent building, completed in 1897, is a stunning example of Neo-Renaissance architecture, embodying the grandeur and elegance of the era.The exterior of the Hamburg Town Hall is truly breathtaking. The intricate façade, adorned with statues and ornate details, captures the eye and holds it in admiration. The central tower, soaring 112 meters high, is particularly impressive, dominating the skyline and providing a striking focal point for the city.Stepping inside, visitors are greeted by opulence and splendor at every turn. The Grand Hall, with its richly decorated ceiling and walls, exudes an air of historical significance and grandeur. Each room within the town hall is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into its construction. The Senate Chamber and the Emperor's Hall are particularly noteworthy, each showcasing exquisite woodwork, paintings, and decorative elements that reflect the building's prestigious role in Hamburg's civic life.Beyond its architectural beauty, Hamburg Town Hall is a living monument to the city's rich history and dynamic present. It serves as the seat of the government of Hamburg, hosting official events, receptions, and municipal functions, thereby playing a vital role in the political and social life of the city.It is a must-visit for anyone interested in architecture and beauty.

The majestic building. A true witness to the history and explains its grandeur.It gives a thought what Hamburg was even centuries ago and what kind of city it was.The gothic architecture, the central tower, the figurines speak a lot.Inside also it’s no less. The high curved ceilings not missing the symmetry. The intact flooring, sober lighting highlighting all elements.The place commands its respects by leaving the entire place the visitors.We visited it in a working day but a festive day.

Wenn man die ganzen Bewertungen liest, weiß der Leser nicht was man noch hinzufügen soll ! Natürlich haben einige schon gehört das es mehr Zimmer als der Buckingham Palast in London hat , aber es ist schon beeindruckend wenn man es vor sich sieht ! Allein die Fassade ist so imposant mit ihren Türmen , Erkern und Details das der Tourist lange braucht alle Feinheiten zu erkennen ! Geht es weiter in den Innenhof ,steigt die Bewunderung und keiner ist überrascht wenn es im Inneren so weiter geht ! Hier hat Hamburg wirklich ein Juwel der Baukunst wie man es nicht oft findet(Translated by Google)When you read all the reviews, the reader doesn't know what else to add! Of course, some people have heard that it has more rooms than Buckingham Palace in London, but it's impressive when you see it in front of you! The facade alone is so impressive with its towers, bay windows and details that it takes a tourist a long time to recognize all the details! If you continue into the inner courtyard, the admiration increases and no one is surprised when things continue like this inside! Here Hamburg really has a jewel of architectural art that you don't often find

Step back two hundred years to the grandeur of Hamburg, the preferred port for international trade and financial hub of Europe.

Definitely a must to see!!! Iconic Hamburg city hall architecturally brilliant, emotionally poetic, like a fairytale palace. Definitely recommended to see from every angle and definitely walk inside or find to do something inside. There’s a square in front of it that you can find every thing or whatever you’re looking for. I felt in here like Liverpool I don’t know why it remembers me.

Really interesting and informative. The history of Hamburg and the town hall are explained on the guided tour.Like so many palaces of recent centuries that we have seen elsewhere, the extravagance was obscene, where much of the population would have been living in poverty. Incredible building, sculptures, artworks and décor abound.The Australian flavour added in 1897 was very unexpected.Well worth a look.

Located in the heart of Hamburg, Planten un Blomen is an expansive state park with a variety of plants from all over the world. The gardens are divided into tropics, subtropics, and plant sections including a greenhouse. There are pathways that lead through the park to different areas such as greenhouses, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll.
One of the most beautiful gardens I have been too. You want to peace of mind, rest with family, or just hang out with friends - then you will love Planten un Blomen. I couldn’t get enough of it. Really enjoyed sitting down and doing nothing.

ABSOLUTELY beautiful botanical garden. It's easy to reach via public transportation and makes for a glorious walk. On a sunny day, you'll find Hamburgers out on their bikes, strolling, picnicking, reading and just enjoying the company of their friends throughout the grounds. The range of plants and trees is impressive (and if you have an Apple phone it's cool to use Visual Look Up to identify what plants you're admiring or curious about).

A really beautiful park in the middle of Hamburg. You can see a lot of nature surrounded by tall buildings.

I really recommend the visit to this park.

The water sports area with balloons is fun for kids, there are areas to sit down and have a nice coffee/ice cream on a hot sunny day. For me I was solo on the day so went to jungfersteig which was a 10 min bus ride away for an icecream by the lake.

A really nice little “mall town”.It feels very much like a nice little village, if every building was a designer clothes store. It really uses the Disneyland trick to kinda close off the outside world to make you relaxed and feel encapsulated in the shopping feel, of course on a much smaller scale but still.There’s even a very impressive playground, to entertain the children while the parents shop.Also nice food options there where nice pizzas in the back of the compound, and a Five Guys burger joint whose burgers I can really recommend.

Such a nice villageGet lost around the shopsGet hungry and get some loaded fries or wafflesI do agree with some others that the parking is over priced and should actually be free if you have shopped in the village, they should validate your ticket, if you haven't bought anything then it's fine pay the fine 😊Doany brands to choose fromHere is definitely something for everyoneNice enough as well that they have toilets located everywhere and unlikely in Germany they are free.

Great selection of brands. Selection in stores good also. Best of all was the way they set up the outlet. I expected storage buildings but it’s more like a small town where you walk outdoors between shops. There’s an opportunity to buy hamburgers, pizza and crepes but we found no real good. Prices are decent.

This place I huge. First time here had it recommended from several sides, but are always a bit sceptic for this as prices can be cheaper online.. but not here. There are outlet prices and then we came as there was even additional discounts up to 50% on the outlet price. And if you know what a pair of Levi’s cost at home it is easy to do the math. This place is worth a full day of shopping, but it is only brand name shops. Therefore the total spending will still go up. Have fun, we did.

I go here to buy designer or high value brands or for things I believe that needs investment into pieces and i always find quality pieces. It’s big and built like a maze.

Free umbrella provided on a bad weather. By the time we exit at 1400 the carpark building was so full, that there is a queue to enter.Unfortunately, i didnt snap any pic here as it was constantly raining.On the price tag, there will be 2 prices attached. One is standard retail price and another is outlet price which is normally 10% cheaper. If you are lucky, there are also a third price tag,sales price,where the price would be up to 70% off. No discount on food, standard price for 5guys and Starbucks. Is it worth travelling here? Yes, if you want or need to shop a lot of new clothe, shoe or kitchenware. Do come in a group so it makes the travelling worthwhile.

El sitio es muy bonito, hay espacios para niños y muchas marcas. Nos resultó un poco complicado llegar porque hay varios trasbordos desde Lübeck o Hamburg. En lo referido a lo outlet nada especial. Los productos igual de caro que en los comercios originales. Estuvimos comparando precios de los productos en internet y en internet estaba todo notablemente más barato. A nosotras no nos mereció en absoluto la pena.(Translated by Google)The place is very nice, there are spaces for children and many brands. It was a bit complicated for us to get there because there are several transfers from Lübeck or Hamburg. As far as the outlet is concerned, nothing special. The products are just as expensive as in the original stores. We were comparing prices of products on the internet and everything was noticeably cheaper on the internet. It wasn't worth it to us at all.

It's really nice place who are brand lovers. All Brands at Same place! What a Cool Thing! While Visiting Outlet City one should have ample time because it takes alot of time to visit each store.There are some vending machines to eat and drink. There are free of cost WC. There are designated places for small kids to play.

We were the first time in the spa, where they do not give out towels, bathrobes and water. In other countries it has been included. Apparently, these are features of the German service. Be sure to take these things with you if you are going to visit this place!Otherwise nice and clean place.I was also very surprised that for some things (for example, an infrared sauna) you need to pay extra. We have never seen it anywhere😂Prepare for your visit thoroughly, otherwise you risk spending a lot of money))

Pretty thermal bathes with many options. The water temperature was okay, could be warmer though. The showers are not good located, they should be in the closing area. The sauna section was pretty good with many temperature options. The food in the restaurant was tasty at good prices, in competition with other restaurants outside. The view is wonderful and directly at the seaside. Friendly service.

The general experience was good,however we had a terrible experience in the restaurant.The gentleman who was preparing food in the restaurant was extremely rude to me and my family!!!He was shouting and making fun of people in a language that we understood. I have brought it to his attention where he completely ignored me. We will never go back just because of him!!!On top of everything, he was handling the food without any gloves and during the preparation touching his nose and hair while preparing the dishes.This is a very unsafe and unsanitary way of preparing someone's meal!

Ok.... As a swimming pool it would be ok. But unfortunately the whole experience is worth maximal 3 stars for me. If you are looking for a sauna and spa day maybe it is something for you.... But for just swimming is Extremely expensive. Moreover to find parking space is nearly impossible. Today we have waited 1 hour in the rain to get inside (only till the check in). When we have finally managed to get in the waiting room we were not allowed to get inside because of bad weather and to many people.... So we went home. Something to consider 🤷

German submarine U-995
Mentioned on
+4 other lists
War museum
Sights & Landmarks
The German U-boat, which was operational during World War II, serves as a historical and technical submarine museum. Despite its limited size, the museum is divided into various sections that provide visitors with an insight into the design of submarines and how their crew lived on board. It is a poignant reminder of the many lives lost during WWII. The submarine has been well-preserved but lacks adequate English translations to enhance visitor experience.
It’s an old submarine, that is open for a visit, as a museum. It’s not very big, but there are several sections. Its quite interesting to see how the submarine is designed, how people serve there, where they slept, ate, shower. Horrible to imagine, that in WW2 for many this kind of submarines became a grave.

I loved this Place - so cool to take a step back into History. So nice to see it preserved. Fun place to visit. The area is really beautiful. If you read book or watched a few U-Boot Movies most notable Das Boot. You can get a sense of how it must have been to live in one of these U-Boot. Especially under War times conditions. The where pretty sophisticated for the time - obviously U-Boots have come a long way since than. If you are in the area you should visit this Museum especially if you are a history buff. Also your visits helps in maintaining this Museum so others can enjoy it hopefully for many years to come. Worth a visit

Ein beeindruckender Ort und ein sehr gepflegtes und gut erhaltenes technisches Denkmal.Es ist zu empfehlen gleich früh das U-Boot zu besuchen so bleibt genug Zeit sich die Details zu betrachten,da es dann nicht so voll ist.Ein muss ist ebenfalls die Kombination mit dem Marineehrenmal.(Translated by Google)An impressive place and a very well maintained and well preserved technical monument.It is recommended to visit the submarine early so that you have enough time to look at the details as it is then not so crowded.The combination with the naval memorial is also a must.

Hello...2018...I visited U-995 with the idea of exploring the bowels of an old WWII sub...things were not so...being there made me think about life of those men...their fears and their joys...the machine and its mechanisms gave way to empathy with those warriors. I am grateful for having gone...I will always remember the cordiality of the employees of the memorial...the people of Laboe and from the Admiral Scheer hotel...today it is very expensive for me to return, but I don´t lose hope!!

We visited on route to Kiel in our Motorhome, parked in the public parking by the beach using the Parkster app. The entrance fee was €7 each for the sub. It was interesting to be able to look inside. It was worth the detour visit. You buy tickets across the road and the gentleman serving was friendly and helpful. You can also buy tickets for the Maritime Museum.

The war memorial is highly recommended. The vie from the top is breathtaking, you can see really far out into Schleswig-Holstein.However the main attraction, the submarine itself was disappointing; they haven't really bothered with labels or information about the machinery. It was just a 1 minute walk through the submarine.
Pradeepta M — Google review
Entry to the ship currently costs 7 euros per adult. It's worth making sure it's available on the day you plan to visit. Sometimes guided tours are available. I recommend this option, although it's only conducted in German. This attraction definitely deserves 5 stars because it's so unique that it's hard to find another like it. While touring, I couldn't help but think about how strong and resilient the sailors must have been, living for months underwater in such claustrophobic conditions. This thought sends shivers down my spine.

Ein sehr gepflegtes Objekt. Man mag sich gar nicht vorstellen, mit diesem Ding als Teil der Besatzung auf Feindfahrt gewesen zu sein. Es ist allerdings so, dass sich dieses Museumsstück nur unwesentlich von anderen U-Booten unterscheidet. Die Erklärtafeln im Boot sind leider nicht sehr informativ.(Translated by Google)A very well maintained property. You can't even imagine having been on a military mission with this thing as part of the crew. However, this museum piece differs only slightly from other submarines. Unfortunately, the explanation boards in the boat are not very informative.

A place I visited three times! The first time as a child with my family in 1982 (my parents, my brother and my sister), then I returned in 2016 with my father and in 2019 I went with my wife and our son. A unique opportunity to visit a real submarine that served during the Second World War. Furthermore, the place has everything to do with the submarine and its history. I recommend visiting the Naval Memorial opposite, where you can see the U995 from above. It involves a lot of history and reflection.

This German sub from 1942 is an absolute must to visit! You can easily visit it on the beach of Laboe, on the opposite harbour site of Kiel. Best to catch the direct ferry to go there, it's such a pleasure in fine weather. We previously visited the sowjet sub U434 in Hamburg. Even so the sowjet one was much bigger in size, more modern, build in 1976, it had a far more claustrophobic feeling. I know which one I'd rather be on 😁

Knuthenborg Safaripark is a popular drive-thru park in Denmark that features a diverse range of animals from around the world. The park is divided into 11 zones and also includes adventure and water play areas. Visitors can interact with friendly horses and goats as well as encounter more exotic creatures like monkeys, zebras, giraffes, and tigers. The tiger area has been recently upgraded to provide an even better experience for visitors.
Amazing experience!! Must try it, lors of atrractions, and things to do. We spent about 5hours inside the safari park, and we are usually very fast at places like this.I do recommend to bring your own food for picnic, as for the food inside is only fast food.

I visited the Safari Park on a sunny Saturday. I loved that the animals had plenty of space to roam freely, and you could drive around with some of them. It was a great experience, and the park is huge! They have restaurants where you can grab food and drinks, and plenty of parking spaces for visitors. I highly recommend it. They also have dinosaur exhibits with real skeletons, which is cool. The prices are reasonable. The only downside is that they could have more variety of animals; it's a bit limited in that aspect.

Very large and a wonderful day out with the kids. Take the kids to Limpopoland at the end as they won’t want to leave, however the roller coaster closes at 5pm so don’t leave it too late. The tractor ride with the monkeys was a lot of fun and the walk over the lions and tigers was also very cool!

Knuthenborg Safari Park is unique because of its wonderful location! We have been here several times before, when our children were small. This time we stayed overnight, in a tent by the elephant enclosure. It is indescribable to sit on the veranda in the morning and see the elephants grazing in the morning mist. The tent is very comfortable, equipped with a shower and Weber electric grill, and we slept fantastically well. It is a great experience to walk through the park almost alone in the evening. All in all, a great experience and a lot of fun!

It was so much more than I expected!I went with my kids 2 and 4 and they had so much fun. The Park is very well planned, we started our tour at 11am and finished at around 4.45pm. We didn't see all the enclosures but it was so worth it! Kids are especially invigorated by the animals that they can pet and the Dinosaur exhibition is quite remarkable.We brought some snacks from home that we snacked on while on the drive through the park and finished at the Limpopo-land food court where we had some Burgers and Fries from the Mombasa Restaurant. The food was really good! The Burger and fries as simple and very delicious and reasonably priced. You can eat at the food court/terrace but it was quite windy when we went and we chose to have our meal in the car and it was no less delicious for that fact.100% recommend! Bring some snacks, a camera and good walking shoes and ready to have fun.

Knuthenborg has always been the place to go for our summer vacation in Denmark, and it never fails to entertain. Even now, when I'm 22 years old, i still tell my mom to drive to the horses or goats, so i can pet them. That's, of course, the most important part of the trip. Of course you also got more exotic animals, like monkeys, zebras, giraffes and of course the tigers, which area has gotten a significant upgrade.All in all, a wonderful place, where the animals look like they're treated well. I don't think there will ever be a day, where i won't recommend Knuthenborg Park.

Just wow! I never expected such a SAFARI in Denmark. You can drive around the grassland to see and touch(some of animals) animals with your own car and well made Dino robots in a life scale are bringing you to Jurassic period. The area is bit too small compare to the safari area but still very nice. There are also many spots where you can enjoy picnic. Bring your own food and drinks to enjoy the safari more and longer. Must go spot with your kids!

We spent 2 nights in the cabin-tents with a big veranda overlooking the savanna with giraffes. It was magical. Once the park closed for visitors and cars, we just sat for hours watching the animals roaming around freely. They were fed outside the huts, so we got to see them really close. We ordered both a breakfast and lunch box, and there arrived plenty of food of good quality. Before dinnertime, some really entertaining guides arrives outside the huts to answer question and tell the lodgers about the animals. We fell asleep with the sounds of nature, we heard the wolves howling, monkies shrieking and the pheasants clucking. Bring a sweater and some warm socks, the tents get quite cold at night. The duvets are warm and there are plenty of blankets.The fossiled dinosaurs in the Evolution Museum was a great surprise. Later the same day we visited the dinosaur park, where there are animated dinos with sound, in the dusk, it was really well made and very realistic and really tied the whole experience. Very highly recommended to stay a couple of nights and really get to experience everything in peace, get to watch the animals live. We also got to pet ponies, goats and lamas. I dislike zoos and always feel bad for the animals, but in this park, they clearly have a lot of passion for the animals, and let them live with a lot of space and love.

Beautiful sights. One stairs was closed, the one we took was really long. They say 15min to the beach but it feels longer. The way to the third stairs wasn't available because of the tide, it might be wise to time your visit at low tide for a full experience. The way back on the same set of stairs was long and very intense. I would not recommend it for those with low stamina. But for those who are up for it, the view is really worth it. Saw a beautiful sunset afterwards in the harbour later that day.

Very nice natural spot south to copenaghen. We took the car to visit it from the city, took about 1.45 h to reach the geocenter parking.Parking here costs 5 euros, to be paid at the arrival.There are two different paths that lead to two separate beaches (rock and small beaches). Water is good. In the morning the sun shine on the cliffs and on the beach, on the afternoon goes behind the cliff and if it's not a hot day the wind will probably freeze you.Very nice and cured forest to walk in, to reach the beaches you need to walk many steps (up and down). Cafe and restaurant present near the geocenter. Free toilet available.Recommended!

It is a really great place. There are guides who can bring you to the beaches. The staff can help identifying fossils what you found on the beaches.Really a lot of information about the history, fossils, dinosaurs. It's very interactive for children. They also give workshops, have great movies and have 3D headsets.The area is also beautiful, with the forests, cliffs and beaches.Great place to be.O, yea. The road to the Geo Center is not everywhere in the best condition. So be careful driving there

Ein Topziel, für alle die Spaß an besonderen Wanderungen haben. Ausgeschilderte Wege mit unterschiedlichen Längen führen durch diese spektakuläre Region. Aber bitte mit festem Schuhwerk. Besonders wenn man die Hunderte von Stufen an den Strand hinabsteigt um dort am Fuße der weißen Klippen zu laufen. Verschiedene Treppen führen in Abständen immer wieder nach oben. Wichtig: Wasser mitnehmen(Translated by Google)A top destination for everyone who enjoys special hikes. Signposted paths of varying lengths lead through this spectacular region. But please wear sturdy shoes. Especially when you descend the hundreds of steps onto the beach to walk at the foot of the white cliffs. Various stairs lead up at intervals.

I wanted to see the visitor centre at møns klint after seeing the images on google maps. A local bnb host said the visitor centre was pretty small. So when we arrived around 10.30 and saw the ticket price we were held aback.However we wanted to see the 3D film about extreme weather events, and at the desk we heard there was a guided fossil hunting tour at 14:00 so we decided to go inside after all.And it was the best decision of the week! The 3D film was a National Geographic film and there were English and German dubs available.after that we learned a whole lot about the geography of Møns Klint, why the fossils were there to be found. And the history of the area and Denmark.I especially loved the exhibition on Amber and insects that were found inside it. So much to see!The museum has multiple interactive displays that are interesting for kids, but secretly I enjoyed myself quite a bit as well.The VR bird and climbing experiences were cool. And the workshop with microscopes to study the fossils helped me prepare for the big fossil hunt.We had lunch in the café and the food was pretty decent. Although maybe a bit pricey.14:00 we gathered outside the building and were brought on a (de)tour with the guide. Because of the tide and wind the beach at the centre wasn’t accesible, so we walked about 2 km to the next big staircase. Underway the guide told all kinds of cool facts and stories about the forest leading up to the 499 step staircase.On the beach we searched for fossils and that was the end of the tour.I eventually spent 7 hours in and around the centre so it’s money well spent! Would recommend.

Møns Klint, herrlich dieser Kreidefelsen. Über eine Holztreppe ca. 500 Stufen gelangt man runter zum Strand. Am Strand kann man mit etwas Glück Fossilien finden. Rauf geht's wieder über eine Holztreppe auch ca. 500 Stufen.(Translated by Google)Møns Klint, this chalk cliff is wonderful. A wooden staircase of around 500 steps takes you down to the beach. With a bit of luck you can find fossils on the beach. We go up again via a wooden staircase, about 500 steps.

The hidden Gem in Denmark. It‘s amazing to see this kind of topography and landscape in Denmark. The cliffs and woods are truly impressive. The Parking-Lot is huge and accessibility is very good, with markers everywhere. The paths down to the shore are very well made, but can be very slippery when wet. It‘s worth the detour!

Fantastisches Science Museum/Ausstellung. Tolle Aussichten an der Steilküste auf die Ostsee - eine Wanderung, die es in sich hat aber lohnenswerte Weise mit sich ständig wechselnden, beeindruckenden Bildern belohnt. Die 500 Stufen hinab ans Meer, der unbefestigte Weg am Fuss der Kreidefelsen, direkt am Meer und die wiederum 500 Stufen hoch sind durchaus anstrengend und für Menschen mit nicht so guter Konditionen durchaus herausfordernd aber umso schöner, wenn man es geschafft hat.Kaffee und Kuchen belohnen die Besucher im Restaurant mit allerdings heftigen Preisen, daher nur 4 Sterne.(Translated by Google)Fantastic science museum/exhibition. Great views on the cliffs of the Baltic Sea - a hike that is challenging but rewarded with constantly changing, impressive images. The 500 steps down to the sea, the unpaved path at the foot of the chalk cliffs, directly on the sea and the 500 steps up are quite strenuous and quite challenging for people who are not in good shape, but all the more beautiful once you have made it.Coffee and cake reward visitors to the restaurant with steep prices, hence only 4 stars.

In the summer, it gets busy around these parts!The Danish countryside is beautiful, with rolling fields and pretty buildings, but not a lot going on geologically. Here it’s different. The huge white cliffs rise up from the sea, and tower above you as you arrive at the bottom of Denmark’s longest staircase.The beach is a very narrow strip of stones washed from the cliff, with the odd pile of chalk that has fallen from above.The beach is probably not the safest part of the world, with the crumbly chalk cliffs above, but it is beautiful.The centre itself is interesting and is worth a quick visit, but it’s the nature that’s the main attraction here.

It is a beautiful nature in the beginning of spring and can walk so that you forget the time and pleasure. There should be water attached to the bag.

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Roskilde Cathedral is a remarkable example of Gothic architecture from the 12th century, constructed with bricks and featuring twin spires. Originally built by Bishop Absalon in the year 1170, it has undergone numerous reconstructions that showcase over eight centuries of Danish architectural styles. As the royal mausoleum and a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, it contains over 37 tombs of Danish kings and queens. A full-color guidebook is included with admission.
In the cathedral you can sense the early gothic architecture in Northern Europe. In the cathedral are buried more than 40 Danish royal family members which is both impressive and exciting. Great customer service.

Absolutely stunning, really worth getting a proper tour because there's just so much history that it's great to learn - I only hope I can remember some of it! It's a mostly baroque cathedral with some elements from lots of periods. This is where Danish royalty have been buried since the 1400s and it's suitably beautiful. This is actually older than Copenhagen cathedral, so the oldest cathedral in the country. It's definitely a MUST-SEE if you come to Denmark. There are also a lot of services (it's a very active cathedral), including two on Sunday - when I might update this review! There's an organ concert once a month, which I would have loved to see! Many many thanks to Brian, one of the volunteers who was so knowledgeable, kind and patient: the perfect tour guide!

If you like history and especially UNESCO site, this place is a must visit. It's a cathedral with crypts and takes you down a memory lane. Many kings, queens, and other royals have this place as their final resting place. The cathedral itself is beautiful and very well maintained. Takes about an hour to cover. Also, about 10 mins walk gets you to Viking museum- which is another place that has so much rich history.

Must visit place in Denmark. One of the major Danish Church. 800 years of European architecture style. Worth visiting here, it is more than we expected. Gigantic church with lots of monuments with a great history.You really appreciate the visit once you have been here. Amazing infrastructure and captivating monuments.Entry ticket costs 60 DKK per adult as of December 2022. It is worth and the ticket cost is reasonable.Spacious parking available including charging facilities for E Cars.Recommend to visit here if you want to explore the old monuments and Danish history.

A lot more to see than first meets the eye. At first I was hesitant because they charge you 70DKK to get in, but there is a lot to see and you can easily spend two hours in there. Lots of crypts and ornamented coffins, side chapels with wonderful decorations and you can go upstairs to see everything from above. Also there is a small museum on the second floor.

One of the few places that deserve a visit in Denmark😉Said this, the cathedral offers several reasons to be visited. The most important is the fact that it is the place where at least 40 danish kings and queens are buried here. An accurate visit can take between one and two hours. There is a ticket.

My Saturday birthday morning would be an all-day tour; a grand day trip around Copenhagen. When the tour bus had gathered everyone from all the stops and our guide, Anders, introduced himself, we did the same by stating our names and the countries we were from. I found out that a young lady from the UK, was also celebrating her birthday on the same day. The cold, rainy morning drive took us to our first stop of the day; Roskilde Cathedral.Seen as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Roskilde Cathedral is the Lutheran Church of Denmark and the official royal burial church for many Danish monarchs built in the 12th and 13th centuries. From November to March, much of the viewing takes place outside. The history given by our guide, gave insight to what was offered inside the cathedral that we could not see.

Passing through Roskilde, we made ab effort to come and visit the cathedral and are glad we did. I think the importance of this cathedral had not been promoted highly enough as an important destination for international visitors. The final resting home of Denmark's monarchs, the history and beauty, were significant. Even my kids (7 & 10) appreciated it. Staff were so helpful and took the time to show us around. Well worth visiting.

The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde showcases an array of ancient and medieval maritime culture. The highlight of the museum is five Viking ships that were discovered submerged at Skuldelev, majestically displayed in the main hall. Visitors can also explore the workshops of Museumso where archaeology and reconstruction work takes place, and Nordic longboats depart. Daily guided tours are available in English during summer months free of charge.
The museum is very well organized and very interesting. It does combine interactive plays for the kids as well as much educational information. The artifacts are beautiful and the models very detailed. A great destination for a rainy day. The city itself is a beautiful spot to spend a few days.

One of the most amazing Viking boat museums I've had the pleasure of visiting. Some of the activities were scheduled to occur once or twice per day so proper planning is required. The buildings housed various activities and most were open to experience. The reconstruction of the boats, their history, and the two decades worth of restoration was amazing to see. The tour guides were passionate, energetic, and also had a great sense of humor. The cafe offered mead which was icing on the cake.

I love the vikings and viking ships. I also love traditional crafts and archaeology. So this museum pretty much ticked all my boxes. Spent several hours walking through the museum learning all about these fantastic archaeological finds and their exciting recreations. And the best part is you can step on the boats and if you book you can take a ride in one!Honestly was the highlight of my museum visiting career so far... lovely staff too, v knowledgeable and clearly passionate.Excited to revisit when it expands in the future.

It’s a stunning museum. Seeing the remains of the 5 Viking ships was amazing. There is a lot of informational material.

What a fantastic day out. The Viking Ship Museum was brilliant, staff were friendly and happy to answer any questions.It's good for the whole family. There is a little workshop with tools and wood. Kids can make their own boats and try them out in a designated pool to test them 😊. We went on a Sunday, which was very quiet. The little cafe was open which was lovely.So glad we made this museum one of our stops on our weekends away in Copenhagen. It was only a 35min train journey, reasonably priced and a regular service. A definite must for people that like Viking History ☺️.

Everything you want from a ship museum: original archaeological finds, scale models, a working boatyard with detailed explanations of the construction process, actual reconstructed ships – and boat rides to try out the technology in first person mode.We also got the chance to wear an authentic replica of a Viking shield and helmet and get a swing with a sword and axe.

A very cool museum. It has 5 Viking ships on display and lots of interesting information about their recovery and preservation. They have an area where the kids can play, pretend to be Vikings and sit on replica ships. The outdoor area is even bigger where you can see old ship building techniques. We were only here briefly but I’m sure you could spend hours here if you wanted to.

The inside of the museum building isn't that big, but you can watch a documentary movie. The surroundings are nice, near the sea, with a typical old village reproduced. The food in the village is vikings typical food. For lunch, if you don't want to try something new and different, you can go to the restaurant that is after the vikings "little town".

Very cool experience!! They have a Viking boat you can go I’m on in the harbor that’s part of the museum which was a really cool experience! The museum had cool history behind the Viking time period and artifacts. The coolest parts in my opinion are the bots and history section on the second level, on the bottom level a lot of it is about excavating pieces so if you don’t have much time I’d recommend just taking a quick glance at that part. They also have two cool half ships that kids can play in and explore as well as some Viking cloaks you can put on, super fun for kids too! A must see if you visit the Copenhagen area!

We were there last month and had a blast!I can’t tell enough people about the trip on a Viking ship where we got to row and sail.The living history museum is very well done.I learned so much and wish I could build my own Viking ship at home now.We showed up at 10 am to try to get into one of the first boats but had to wait about 2 hours to set sail.We used the time to visit the cathedral near by. It was worth the wait and time well spent.If you could get tickets in advance I would have done so in a heartbeat though.We ended up spending almost a whole day on this excursion but no one regretted it.

A museum with lots of explanations related to war strategy and details on the ships. It has a place for children to roleplay and an amazing view of the sea, which I loved. As for the shop, it has half clothes shop (which did not seem connected to the museum) and many of the items did not have the price on them. Another thing that didn't work for me was that I had to buy the tickets right there, I did not have an online option.

From the Roskilde Cathedral, we moved to another site in Roskilde, the Viking Ship Museum. The ground, still wet from the previous rain, along with grey skies, and dense clouds, gave the site an ominous feel.Once the group departed the tour bus, we weaved between buildings and areas that during the spring and summer would have been buzzing with tourists, guides, and local workers. Instead, we viewed partly constructed sailing Viking ships in the museum’s boatyard freely. I peeked into the windows of a rope making shop as well as other buildings as our group made its way to the museum.As we approached the museum, there were a few people on the grounds, working on ship replicas. Inside the museum, to gain knowledge about the five original, excavated Viking vessels (Skuldelev ships) from 1962, a film, Five Viking Ships from Skuldelev played in a small theatre downstairs.Upstairs, the haunting view of the 11th century ships are on display. Striking and poignant, to view these ships that were buried for years would make one wish that they could talk and reveal their history for all to hear.Overall: There is a chance to board a traditional Nordic boat that allows passengers to take part in rowing and other jobs to have an idea what it was like to be a Viking. Check the website for availability starting in May to September.

Very nice exhibition of 5recovered Viking longships. But don’t miss the rope, wood, sail workshops or the 25 min video on the 5 ships . Plan at least 90 min. No place for taxis to pick you up though so figure on a 13 min walk back to Roskilde through a lovely park..

After leaving Helsingør train station, Priscilla and I took about 1.5hr to reach Roskilde Train Station. Google Map showed me a 20min walk to Viking Ship Museum. We need to walk through shops, small roads, cutting through a big open field with side walking trails to some forest and then out to another main road and all the way to the Museum in 25mins according to our walking speed. After the staff scanned our Copenhagen Card, she told us we have 30mins to look around as Museum closed at 4pm. It's different from what Google Map mentioned but I suppose it's because no more daylight saving after 3am on 30 Oct 2023. We managed to have a quick understanding of Viking Ship from exhibition near toilet area in Level -1. Then we saw the skeleton structure of 4 Viking Ship in the Museum. Did to time constraint, we were not able to sit thru a video presentation. Indeed it was a great experience understanding the days of Viking in Denmark and motivated me to read it up further when I return to Singapore. Amazing display of Viking ships in the early days of Danish seafarers. 👍👏😁

This museum was the highlight of our Copenhagen visit, and one of the coolest museums I've ever been to!We visited in the summer, with good weather, so there was a TON of interactive outdoor activities. This museum is so well laid out, and everything is a learning opportunity (even the trees have placards on them to learn about)!There's a lot for kids, including building their own boat, and viking games outside. The absolute BEST part was getting to ride in a replica viking ship! You all row together, and depending on where you're seated, you may hoist or direct the sails, or even steer the ship! It was my favorite thing we did!

Museum contains real remains of 5 ships. Very interesting story and huge effort spent on preserving and assembling the archeological finds. You can also access the docked reconstructed ships and take photos on them, and there is a boatyard with some activities.

A museum worth visiting only if you have children. There are many activities for kids, like creating your own wooden sailing boats or fighting with vikings swords.However, for a single adult is rather boring and overpriced.The entrance price is 160 DKK and the museum is only containing 5 'remaining' boats made of pieces of wood. The boats are not even half completed.I liked a lot the history behind, but the museum felt a bit hyped.According to the movie in the museum, it took 25 years to assemble those pieces of wood, that might explain the price of the ticket.A positive note, the staff at the entrance was very kind and informed me about the start of the 'movie' also available in Italian.

The theme park features a wide array of attractions, including a precision-preened roses garden, globally inspired architecture, low-key spin-off of Michelin starred restaurant Kiin Kiin and a ballet theatre. There are also outdoor jazz, classical and contemporary music performances as well as illuminated by soothing fairytale lights.
This place is amazing. You can see how it inspired Walt Disney. You can walk around to enjoy the fine food and gardens without riding a ride. The food is high quality, not fast food. The shops are as nice as the ones found in town. As for the rides, the views from the tall swings are amazing. The ride on the old rollercoaster is fun and quite historic.The park changes clothes at night :-)

Nice amusement park. Not very big but right in the city centre. Beautiful decorations for Halloween and lovely restaurants. Some restaurants are very expensive. They have menus outside so no nasty surprises.A few good rides. Some are very scary. We went in November in the afternoon. The queues for the rides took about 20min. The weather was a bit cold. They have some shops too. Our friends found something to buy there. If you like the rides, you can easily spend all day in the park.

🎡🎢🎠It's a very nice theme park with lots of interesting rides. I was so excited and having so much fun that I didn't take many pictures.😆 But the best for me is The tallest ride in the amusement park I don't know what it's called, but it has seats like swing and it goes up and spins. Above, there is a very beautiful view overlooking the whole of Copenhagen.🇩🇰

I bought the entrance fee that did not include the rides... I was very happy just to walk around and view the gardens. I must say, that this was the most beautiful and green amusement park I have ever seen And it was a real trip to be able to walk under the roller coaster. (I had never seen that before.)Also plenty of eating places and shopping areas.

I just paid for entry as I'm not a fan of rides. But the place was lovely lots bigger than I expected, it had a lovely atmosphere. I would recommend to visit at around 6pm in the summer have a wonder in the daylight maybe grab something to eat and then you will see it in the dark too. It was the night which made the place even more stunning

Such an amazing place. The gardens themselves are beautiful. The rides are great and they have such a variety. There are quite a few rides for young kids around 3 years old. There’s so much to do and the space is so well utilized that you don’t feel like you’re walking for miles on end. This is a must visit place in Copenhagen.

The park is super beautiful, the haunted houses were super fun to go to and just the whole vibe of the place was amazing. The Halloween decorations were also super fun. The only downside is the price of entrance and for the rides, which was quite high in my opinion. Even though the prices were high I can't wait to go again for the Christmas theme.

I think if not the best, one of the top parks in Europe. Great restaurants, coffee bars, theaters, garden, entertainment park in such a great combination. Especially if you visiting when it's ready for Christmas. So many activities and entertainment you will definitely enjoy! Must see for sure.

You can certainly see where Walt Disney got his inspiration for a theme park. It was beautiful, although I expected more gardens. The music on the stage was really good. Of you like rides, pay for the package deal up front. Individual ride tickets seemed high

The best experience ever. Highly recommended to come after noon and leave at night to see the lightings inside. I spent 5 hours from 5 until 10:30. There is a show that is done every hour. And events that take place inside. Also you can enjoy eating in many restaurants and shops as well as the games for kids. Also you need luck to enjoy in a good weather

Stunning place. Relaxing and just a great place to visit. An oasis in the city centre.Gardens / Theme park, choose what you prefer or both. Either way it's got a relaxed atmosphere.If you visit Copenhagen this needs to be on your jobs list.

Had an amazing evening here! We bought the compete package (entry and unlimited rides and photos) and definitely made our money's worth in rides. Lots of options, from super kid friendly to super scary (the Demon). So many food options, but gasoline grill gets special mention for their huge fries portion. If you are there on Saturday stay for the light show and the fireworks. If you have time while in Copenhagen this will be a fun night out.

A unique place. Rides, an aquarium, gardens, restaurants and barsVery easy going and family friendly atmosphere. Queues were short and the ride pass works so well.It seems small but has an incredible amount in one location. Lovely to see old people falling asleep in deck chairs on a sunny afternoon while kids are having fun on rides.

As it is one of the oldest theme park, it is worth to visit. For anyone who love taking photos, I recommended to go before evening time. Then u can enjoy both day and night vibe. Not so big one.

It's a fantastic place to visit, especially in the evening when the lights are on. Additionally, it features one of the oldest roller coasters, making it exciting to ride and see how it operated in the past. However, the entrance fee is expensive, even if you only want to explore the garden without going on any rides (though you can buy individual tickets for each attraction).

Wonderful theme park in Copenhagen city. Definitely worth a visit. Smells of churros & popcorn everywhere. Great rides 🤢. Looks like plenty of places to eat too. But even if you're there for just the gardens, it's beautiful to walk around. Lots of children's activities too. Shows on too. Watched a ballet. Didn't stay for the fireworks.

I brought a sibling here, and they loved it. I enjoyed it myself here as well. It's a very beautiful amusement park and I loved how it was connected to the food hall which has a variety of great food options. The staff were really kind and I believe it's safe to say that this is a must visit for everyone especially families. It's also very nicely located literally being in front of Copenhagen Central Station. I will definitely come back!

Fridays suck as they have concerts and it's going to be packed....aim for a cloudy weekday...some days you will wait ages in lines, we where lucky and had 10 min wait for rides....lots of people come here to see the flowers and lights for which there is no line.Sunny weekends are going to be packed.Danish weather is temperamental, bring plastic ponchos and hope for the best, wind does not get bad here

If you are a tourist and you love history and art, this is the place for you to visit. The fun rides may be a little out of date, but keep in mind they were from 100 years ago. Everything was so beautiful and artistically arranged. There were plenty of restaurants and coffee shops and chocolates. The Garden was not only for the kids but also the adults of all ages. We were glad that we saved the place last during our stay at Copenhagen.

Very nice place. Finely decorated for Halloween. I expect they'll do a great job for Christmas as well. I think this place is a bit overrated, though. Don't get me wrong, it's very nice and there are few fun rides. But I would go here only if I stayed for a few days in Copenhagen. Don't sacrifice other beautiful spots in the city to go here instead. But as a last day thing to do and especially if you're there with friends, it's a fun place where to spend a few hours

Went in November knowing little about the place. Had an incredible time in the massive winter wonderland with shops and stalls ans even fairground rides! Definitely recommend going in winter.Ride pass is around €30 on top of €18 entrance fee but you can enter without a ride pass and pay for rides individually or not at all. Worth the price though

We were there at Christmas with family. It was so beautifully decorated, there were rides for all ages, delicious food. I recommend, for Christmas, to see how many rides planning to go on before buying the unlimited band.
Jill C — Google review
Underwhelming. Paid 160dkk (£18) to enter. The rides were fairly interesting to look at as they’re prettier than what you get at a typical British fairground but didn’t seem particularly thrilling inducing so didn’t give any a go. Would probably be worth it if you have young children who would enjoy the smaller rides however.
Maxim C — Google review
Lovely little theme park that's perfect for the kids. There is not much to walk, the rides are designed mostly for kids with only a couple that are on the extreme side and there is plenty of food and drink choices in such a small place. What was also great is that the entrance cost is cheaper if you don't want to go on the rides, making it possible to go in to experience the historic architecture of one of the oldest theme parks in the world. You're also able to come and go from the park on the day you go, just remember to get your hand stamped before leaving.

Had a great day here. Something for everyone and you can spend the whole day and see the gardens and environment change as darkness arrives. Great app that let's you download ride photos for free which is much better than other places who insist in charging extortionate prices. Many places to eat and drink with lots of variety and again no real increase in prices from anywhere else in Copenhagen. Even got to see a concert in the evening on the day we went, great value for money and a definite visit if in Copenhagen.

Great place to spend a few hours. Book online in advance, it's gonna be cheaper. Games need an extra ticket. Lot of places to eat and drink (there's also a gasoline grill inside). Recommended going by night. Fireworks at the end.

It's a fun and whimsical amusement park in the centre of Copenhagen. The interior of the gardens is beautiful, with a lot of detail given to the aesthetic to create almost a magical fairground feel that you would read in story books. Everywhere you look, there's different sections of carefully crafted decor, which is exciting to the eye.There are many rides that are also aesthetically pleasing and are akin to fairground rides, but nothing extreme for thrill seekers.There are many food options inside the gardens as well, and I enjoyed a nice hot chocolate with cream in the evening.At night time, when the lights come on, the garden also transforms into a beautifully lit wonderland, so it is definitely worth experiencing both the day and night of the gardens.At the end of the day, there are usually fireworks or some kind of light show by the lake, which is a nice climax to a fun day out.Overall, we spent about 6-7 hours in the park (including an hour or so to eat dinner) from late afternoon until closing, and we felt like we saw and did most things that we wanted to. However, it would've been possible to spend another few hours to go on more rides and relax a bit more. I would highly recommend visiting during a trip to Copenhagen.

Amazing. If you’re in Copenhagen you have to go, no question. I have visited both during summer and to see the Christmas markets, both were great with the Christmas lights really taking the cake for me, I felt like I was in a movie. Rides are also great, but just seeing the lights and market stalls are also plenty to do. So many great food options inside for both food and desserts, so definitely come hungry.

Great place to visit with friends, family or your loved ones. Decorated with astonishing lights. You will only fully enjoy them when is dark. I saw fountain show accompanied by classic music. That was fantastic experience.Rides look different from each other, very unique, but I didn't go on them. You have to pay extra to use them.

Tivoli is the oldest amusement park in the centre of Copenhagen. It's busy with lots of places to eat and drink. You don't have to take rides to enjoy the place. When I was there a wedding party was having fun on the rides. It's amazing and the locals are all having fun.
Adrian L — Google review
This is an amazing park. I was here for the first time in my life and tried almost all the rides. The free fall is incredibly thrilling and scary. I especially enjoyed the carousel that rides over the city. If you buy a ticket for the whole day, you can go on all the rides multiple times. However, you will have to wait in line. Filming is prohibited, but there is a place to leave your belongings. There are very tasty food courts in the park where you can eat some really cool food. I tried fries with ketchup and then had ice cream with churros. Incredibly delicious. I recommend coming here at least once in your life."

Beautiful and whimsical. Quite small compared to the American standard of theme parks, but has a unique charm unlike anything else I’ve experienced. Makes sense why Walt Disney was inspired to build his own version.

It’s amazing how many attractions can be squeezed into one city block. Great for kids, teens and those still young at heart. Food price and choices range from stalls and food market outlets to the brasserie at the Hotel Nimb.

It's a wonderful, almost magical place. You can feel like you're in a fairy tale there. We visited on December 30th, and despite the large number of people, the vastness of the park made it feel uncrowded. In the evening, it has an even more enchanting charm. It's important to mention that using the Copenhagen Card, you can enter the park twice in one day by obtaining a special stamp. However, for some attractions, tickets are not always available at the machines - you need to purchase a package. For those who prefer not to buy packages, using the app might be somewhat inconvenient. My only suggestion - improve and maintain your app.

Nice and neat park that has many things to do. It's fun for children and older adrenaline enthusiasts. The ride pass is absolutely worth getting if you plan on going for at least 3 or more rides. The park is also very pretty in the evening when they turn on the colourful lights.

A perfect family attraction. Beautiful gardens, lakes and wildlife. We went just for the gardens (didn't go on the rides) and there was plenty to see. Lots of options for food and plenty of toilets. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sue S — Google review
We had a fantastic day out. The queue looked ginormous to get in, but a member of staff directed us to the food hall - if you have bought a ticket in advance there is another entrance, and we went straight in (just after 11am). We opted for unlimited rides and got the wristbands, it seemed excellent value for money, especially compared to UK theme parks. We managed to go on plenty of rides, but there is so much more to Tivoli - we enjoyed music, a marching band, the aquarium, a comedy ballet performance...! We didn't stay until close as the youngest member of our party needed to go to bed (we all did, to be honest!) but we crammed a lot in and had a great time.

Absolutely fantastic. I visited in December 2023 with family, including two kids in prams. Spent the whole day there, and you can leave with the kids of you need to and re-enter (make sure you get that days stamp on your hand!)Highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance to skip the queues, and if you get the ticket that includes free digital images, download the app and set that up ahead of time! We made that mistake and missed out on images. Don't forget to take your one free go at the wheel - it's the huge one beside Aquila I think!I rode everything I could, and had a great time. My faves are the demon and star flyer I think! I also recommend bringing scarves and gloves if you're riding the taller rides in the winter!!I think it's superb that it's a themes seasonal attraction and I'd love to visit again in spring.

Such an amazing place. We loved it and we had a lot of fun there. The gardens are very well taken care of and the games are suitable for all ages. They present some shows and plays as well. Inside, you will have everything you may need, restaurants, toilets…etc. and of course, they have Lego shop :). It’s a bit expensive, but it’s not for Denmark and for all what they offer. Highly recommended, especially with kids.You can go out and go back again, but you need kind of permission.

Amazing experience for adults and children! Even though many rides are difficult for us who feel dizzy there are plenty other rides to enjoy with your little ones ! Even if you do not rides it is really worth visiting this amazing place which as the sun falls is full of tiny lights making it a magical place! Food and drinks are quite expensive though!

Tivoli Gardens - the first amusement park. Wow... what a fantastic place it is! There are rides, live music, theatre, a variety of food choices, numerous restaurants, a small boat ride, and musical fireworks. It's a must-visit destination.We absolutely loved our time here. It was amazing, and the place is so Instagrammable - every picture turns out beautiful. I am in awe of this place. The highlight for me was the musical fireworks.There is an entry ticket, but it's so worth it. It’s very close to Copenhagen Central Station, just a 5 minute walk.Such a beautifully organized and well-maintained place. It deserves all the stars.

Great place to visit with family. Better to book in advance as it can get quite busy. It has Europe's oldest roller coaster. Even today it is manually operated. Fun rides all over for all ages groups. There are a of restaurants inside. Open until 11 pm in summer.must visit place with kids in Copenhagen.

Visited around December time and it was a wonderful wonderland! There were so many stalls of food and gifts inside creating a lovely Christmas atmosphere. We didn’t even go on any rides and still managed to spend 2 hours here just exploring the beautiful grounds! Definitely a highlight of what Copenhagen has to offer.

Tivoli Gardens is a must do day out for families when visiting Copenhagen. The theme park is one of the oldest in the World and is famous for inspiring the original US Disneyland..The gardens are located directly opposite Copenhagen central station and its location and presence in the city is very unique for a capital..Using the Copenhagen Card we were able to gain access to the gardens as part of the cards attractions ticket meaning that the only additional charge was the ride pass, which gives you access to all the rides all day long, for as many times as you wish. Please note, if you only want to go on 1 or 2 rides you can just pay as go but 3+ makes buying a ride pass worth it..My kids loved the rocket and wooden rollercoaster and went on both 4 times each + most of the other rides with only a few exceptions..The gardens are a spectacular attraction in themselves and it was very enjoyable taking in the different settings and venues dotted around the rides..There are plenty of places to eat and drink and all are of a high standard and are reasonably priced. If you wish, you can leave and return to the park so long as you get a stamp. However, tickets and passes are only valid for 1 day..As mentioned at the start of this review Tivoli is a must visit attraction in Copenhagen even if you don't like rides as the site is full of history and character.

Beautiful walk through the gardens, there is a ticket to enter and tickets separately for the rides. Various dining options inside. Shows at the pagoda. A candy maker shop, live view as he hand makes it. There was a light show on the lake and a ship on the other side( didn't see it until after we left the gate). Take time to study the park map they give you upon entering. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Wheelchair paths throughout.

Fantastic place! There are plenty of rides and cozy, beautiful parks where you can relax when you need a break from the roller coasters 🎢 It's worth visiting even in rainy weather. The only downside was that the highest carousel wasn't working, and they couldn't explain why 🤷🏼♀️The all-inclusive ticket costs sixty euros per person. Food and drink prices inside are very high and not worth the cost, but you can bring your own food.

Very nice park to walk in and spend some hours with your kids. They have some rides tehrr, but the lines are long. The co cert was nice and the sound quality was high. Located in the city center close to the M station. Good food hall next to it. Many green parts and well maintained plants.

Sights & Landmarks
The Round Tower is an observatory that is over 300 years old and it is one of the oldest working observatories in Europe. The tower hosts novice astronomers as well as sightseers who come to learn about the history of astronomy and see how it has been used in different ways throughout the centuries.
For a taste of science history and a beautiful view of Copenhagen this tower is a must see. I saw all ages walking the spiral ramp up to the observation deck, and there’s a beautiful gallery to visit on the way up. The only difficult part is the extremely narrow spiral staircase at the top, but it’s not very long and it is controlled with traffic lights for direction. This is a simple tour with a ton of history.

One place which can guarantee you the best view of Copenhagen. The Tower itself is an architectural Marvel. There is an Entry Ticket 🎫 to the Tower. After the ticket, a spiral 🌀 pathway leads the visitor atop the tower. The deck gives a 360 degree view of Copenhagen. Photography enthusiasts can also smother off their love for capturing Copenhagen the artistic way from this Deck.Recommended for all those aspiring seeing Copenhagen, Denmark 🇩🇰

The Rundetårn is surely one of the most affordable monuments to visit in Copenhagen, since the ticket is around 6 euros. On the top of the tower you can enjoy a beautiful view on the city centre from a different perspective, with all its beautiful rooftops; furthermore, inside the tower there are rooms that can be visited, related to its history and Tycho Brahe

The Round Tower in Copenhagen is a must-visit architectural marvel that beautifully blends history and breathtaking views. Ascend for panoramic city vistas, explore its intriguing exhibits, and appreciate its rich historical significance. Engaging art exhibitions and accessible design enhance the overall experience. Unforgettable moments await at the Round Tower.

Absolutely loved the round tower, I'm not a big fan of narrow spiral staircases so normally give these types of buildings a miss. However, the round tower consists of a wide spiral ramp most of the way, then about 28 wooden steps and a short final set of 31 spiral stairs that you go on a traffic light system. Views from the top all round are amazing, theres an observatory at the top and a kiosk. On the way up the tower there's 2 rooms the bell loft and the library hall which hosts changing exhibits and has a small gift shop. The tower has a hollow core and near the top there's a small opening where you can go in and stand on the glass floor above it. A planetarium is on a wall before the wooden steps.

To be honest, I’ve been on other view points in other cities and this one has one big problem and that’s protection bars. Because of them you can’t make any photo or video. The view towards the city is nice and full. Price of the ticket is around 5€ and it’s not problem to climb up since it doesn’t have much stairs. It wasn’t overcrowded.
Nastja P — Google review
The Round Tower is a fascinating and unique historical landmark. The climb to the top is an unusual experience, with a spiraling ramp instead of traditional stairs. Once you reach the top, the panoramic views of Copenhagen’s skyline make the climb well worth it. The view is spectacular, offering a breathtaking perspective of the city's charming rooftops and iconic landmarks. Though it was very windy at the top, the experience was still incredible.Plus, tickets are quite affordable, making it an accessible experience for everyone.

This was a nice surprise. The view from the top is amazing. Make sure not to miss the observatory room when you reach the top. Along the way you can see the church, and the library room which is now used for exhibitions. And of course take a photo in the tower privy just for the laughs, but don't confuse it for the proper toilette next door. 😃

A great way to have a fabulous view of the city and beyond. Yes it's a good climb to the top but it's a bricked ramp so it's quite easy. Toilets available. Good information panels. Two nice display rooms. Part of the city tourist card so easy access.

Definitely worth the visit! In the heart of the city,there was no line to get in,40 DKk for adults and 10 for kids. It is a round climb and in every floor there is something to see so it makes it an interesting way. We visited the kimono exhibition-wow! An hour visit,definitely good way to spend time.

This place was really neat. The construction of it is wild and the little windows into the floor placed randomly so you can see into certain parts is really cool. The whole red light/green light system to get to the top was a little frustrating because some people just didn't care or didn't understand. Definitely worth checking out and the view from the top is worth it.

This was a fun visit! Totally new way to scale a tower, with a completely smooth spiral incline all the way up. There was a HUGE tour group who got in just before us so there was a wait at the top to scale the remaining stairs to reach the viewing level. Having 360° views of Copenhagen was awesome. It is a pretty flat city so a great way to see it from above. The observatory was a lovely addition to see too.
Finailla H — Google review
The view from the top is great, and the side areas to visit on the walk up and down were very interesting. History and architecture and a view, all in one. The price was reasonable. There is no elevator or escalator. It is a winding ramp walk up and down. There are narrow stairs that may be harder to navigate to enter the top for the view.

What a gorgeous little experience! The tower is mostly what you'd expect, it's round and a bit of a walk going up. Make sure to look out the windows for some very quaint and picturesque views of Copenhagen's streets and rooftops. The tower also contained an exhibit on wolf conservation which was really fascinating and eye opening. This is a great little quick stop while visiting!

This place was an absolute delight and excellent value for money. Great view at the top and the walk up along the spiral walkway is a lot of fun. There are info cards along the way that explain points of interest. There are also very clean lavatories that are easily accessible. Think this is now my favorite tourist attraction in Copenhagen.

This was a really neat visit! The entry fee was very reasonable, there were a couple spots to stop along the ramp to see an art installation and some historical artifacts, but the obvious highlight is climbing all the way for the top for a beautiful view. There were bathrooms available, which were clean and very appreciated.

I loved walking up the Round tower. Not for those who struggle with walking up steep slopes as the journey up the tower is as much part of the visit as the views from the top. Ticket was 40dkk (about £4.50) and on a nice day I would say it's worth it. Not overly busy at 11am on a Monday but I can imagine it gets busier.

Pass by the tourist site while roaming around the city, resulting in walking up the tower. It was a worthy walk, circling the tower to get up, wasn't so crowded while getting up. A red/ green light was there to advise if it's okay to get up or down the final narrow stairway connecting to the viewpoint.Fun experience

Very accessible attraction. Easy to climb the slopes and very few steps.Pay attention not to miss the private toilet from that time and the hole covered by glass on your way up.A light with red and green was implemented to coordinate the traffic on the very narrow stairs.Unfortunately, when we visited the observatory was not functional.The terrace is a bit too high and far from the edge, so the view is a bit affected.But it worths a visit.

Great from an architectural standpoint. A car can drive up the tower technically and you can go as high as to the observatory ( not with the car though lol). A great view of Copenhagen once you are there and a little shop on top to buy ice cream.

A cheap experience in Copenhagen that is worth doing. The Round Tower is a very cheap and inexpensive way to see beautiful sights of the city from above. The tower itself is designed in very unique way which has no stairs, only sloped floors. Once you climb to the top of the tower, you can view the city with 360 degree views. Even inside this tower, I was surprised to find toilets and other pieces of historical information about the tower. For how cheap it is to climb this tower, I highly recommend! 😸

Ticket was 40 DKK. An interesting round tower with no stairs. Only very last part that goes to roof has the stairs. Viewpoint of the city. Round tower used to be a library, since October 2023 becomes an observatory and science art room, according to the guide there. I found the whole package very interesting experience. Apart from the beautiful viewpoit, if you are into science, you enjoy it! The enthusiastic guides make a nice experience for you 😊

Lovely view of Copenhagen from above !!!There is an entrance fee. The tower itself is not very tall but since most buildings in Copenhagen are relatively shorter, it feels like you're on a skyscraper !!!The tower was originally built as an astronomy viewing platform. It is still occasionally used by hobbyists.Access to the viewing deck is not possible for people with limited mobility unfortunately. The tower itself is a big slope, but there are are some very narrow twisting steps at the end.There is an attached gallery/gift shop that is easy to miss. It will be on your left when climbing the tower.⚠️ DO NOT miss the Cathedral that is attached to the tower. It is very pretty 🌟 and worth a visit. Entrance to the church is obviously free.

This experience is totally unique and unlike anywhere I've ever been too previously. The tower spirals gradually to a viewing platform where you are rewarded with panoramic views of Copenhagen city centre and beyond.It's a short experience (roughly 1 hour), however it's really worth a visit and easily combined with other attractions.

Very special way to go up to the top floors. There is a small exhibition in the middle floors. At the top floor you can overview the city view of Copenhagen. There’s also cafe and souvenir shops. Toilets are also provided here!

Definitely worth a visit for a price of about 6€. You get to see many of the Copenhagen highlights from above. The architecture is quite noteworthy as can be judged by the attached pictures.We recommend going here!

We arrived at 10 am and were greeted by a large queue, but it quickly dissipated, and we passed through smoothly. You can bring a pram all the way up; although there are stairs on the top floor, it's safe to leave it there. The view from the top is magnificent and kid-friendly. Admission is 40 DKK per person and 10 DKK for children.

Decent views of the city and a reasonable entry price. It's easy to walk up because it is inclined instead of using stairs. The very last section has stairs and is a little narrow and steep, but nothing challenging for the average person. There are also a few exhibits on the way up, including a seasonal one. In December of 2023, the seasonal exhibit was about native species in Denmark, and preservation efforts.

Would recommend paying to enter as we found the history of the tower and the information interesting. There are large bars at the top that hinder the view a bit but still enjoyable.You can see the telescope in the observatory but cannot enter to read all of the information in there which we found disappointing.

Visited this place a few times, and always enjoyed the experience. It’s relatively cheap, and you get one of the best views on city center, along with cute stairs with traffic lights! Aim for a sunny day, but some fog and clouds give nice vibe too…

Reasonable price to get in. The church inside looked cool, but we could only see it through a glass window and couldn't get in. About half way up there was an art installation which was interesting. A little too modern artsy for me, but my wife liked it a lot. There is an observation deck at the top with great views of the city. There is also an observatory with a telescope but this was closed and we could only see it from the stairs leading up. Overall, well worth the time and admission fee. The walk up is flat (no stairs!) until you get to the observation deck.

Whenever we visit Denmark, we ensure that we visit The Round Tower. Obviously, attending this place in January means that once you get up to the top, it is going to be cold.One of the nicest aspects of this place is the atmosphere. As you ascend to the top, people tend to smile at one another as they absorb the beauty of the place.It is lovely to ascend the tower and enjoy the view.
Alex K — Google review
Fun experience in the round tower.The tower is quite high so prepare to walk for a bit inside the round tower until reaching the top.Fantastic view from the above to see the whole Copenhagen. Great views and it may be even better when visiting it during sunset times.It also has a cafe and some spot during the walk to introduce the old building and they are quite informative as well.
Mike L — Google review
This provides a wonderful view of the city from high above. The ascent is a very long sloped floor. It is somewhat steep, very long, and fairly uneven so make sure you are prepared. There are many places to take a break as needed. The picture opportunities are well worth it.

The Oresund Bridge is a huge bridge that links Sweden and Denmark across the Sound. It's a long combined railway and road bridge that spans 8 kilometers to the man-made island of Peberholm, before turning into a tunnel to cross to Copenhagen.
Passed under the Øresund Bridge... Good to watch bridge architecture from sea... Railway track built beautifully below the road... Great experience👍

The bridge that's connect Sweden to Denmark is beautiful. Everyone that visit Malmo needs to see it. The place is the perfect balance between art, engineering and nature. I simply loved to visit the nature reserve around the bridge, if you go a bit far from the bridge it is silent and a perfect place for contemplation, near you will be disturbing by the heavy traffic sounds. If you intend to bike or walk please use anti tick (fästing) for safety. Enjoy the view!

Wir sind von Kopenhagen mit der Fähre nach Malmö gefahren und von dort über die Öresundbrücke zurück nach Kopenhagen. Bezahlt haben wir als treue Dänemarkurlauber per Transponder Bizz und so brauchten wir uns auch nicht in der langen Schlange anstellen.😉😎 Die verschieden farbigen Fahrspuren regeln das bezahlen. Die Brücke selbst ist beeindruckend und bildet eine Strasse sowie eine Eisenbahnverbindung in einer Länge von 8km. Und 💡auf der Brücke beziehungsweise im Meerverläuft die Grenze zwischen Dänemark und Schweden. Wir würden es nochmal so machen. 😌(Translated by Google)We took the ferry from Copenhagen to Malmö and from there over the Öresund Bridge back to Copenhagen. As loyal Denmark holidaymakers, we paid using the Bizz transponder and so we didn't have to stand in the long queue.😉😎 The different colored lanes regulate payment. The bridge itself is impressive and forms a road and railway connection 8km long. And 💡on the bridge or in the searuns the border between Denmark and Sweden. We would do it like that again. 😌

I used the Øresund Bridge a few times, and it is an amazing architectural marvel in Europe that offers an excellent driving experience. The views are impeccable and panoramic. However, it is very expensive, so if you commute regularly, it's better to buy a pass. BroBizz works here.

A masterpiece of engineering and its wonderful appearance is a real experience to drive on it!The Öresund Bridge or Øresund Bridge (Danish Øresundsbroen, Swedish Öresundsbron) is a combined road-rail bridge over the Øresund Strait. The bridge connects the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen, with Malmö in Sweden, and more broadly, Scandinavia with Central and Western Europe.The European highway E20 passes through the bridge. Passenger and freight transport takes place on its double-track railway track. With a length of 7,845 meters, the bridge is the longest road-railway bridge in Europe. The bridge itself accounts for about half of the distance between the two coasts, the rest is bridged by the artificial island called Peberholm (4055 m), the tunnel leading from there to the Danish side (4050 m) and the artificial peninsula established on the Danish side (430 m). The bridge was handed over on July 1, 2000 by II. Queen Margaret of Denmark and XVI. King Gustav Károly of Sweden.

I had my flight from Gothenburg to Koppenhagen, but a friend of mine suggested I take the train and experience the Øresund Bridge.Also escape the nonsense of going hours early to airport and paying exorbitant rates for taxi.Did take the train. Unfortunately it got delayed and I was disappointed.But my disappointment was balanced by the ride over Øresund Bridge.A mini Golden Gate, except that in this case it connects 2 countries Sweden and Denmark.Truly an inspiring experience with all the respect to the engineers who designed and built it.Sharing some pics for others to appreciate it. But nothing like experiencing it.

Crossing from Sweden to Denmark, The Öresund Bridge & TunnelCrossing this amazing bridge was another highlight of our tripNow that we have covered 3600 km by car, we have experienced some stunning landscape, a few boring highways, exceptional backroads, but this crossing was a short but memorable highlight!Starting as a bridge from the Swedish side, then over a man made island into the long tunnel, just to arrive almost straight into Copenhagen!Some prefer the train, others a Ferry but for us driving through this technical masterpiece was it!Completed only in around the year 2000, the 12 km long bridge/tunnel is the 2nd largest in Europe!Roughly 20000 motorised vehicles cross this route daily!Certainly one of the highlights on our Scandinavian Tour!#denmark #sweden #thetourist #alifetimetrip #Malmö #copenhagen #öresundbridge

The more I travel Europe with my family the more fascinated I am with the bridges and Øresund was no different, lovely bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden, made our travel seamless as we were exploring all the Scandinavian countries. My only negative is the cost for non frequent travelers, one through the Toll after passing the bridge was ca. €70. only frequent travelers benefit from a discount when they register for an annual account. The was beautiful nonetheless as well as the transition to the underwater tunnel.

What else to say than that the Øresund-bridge is the best way to get to Sweden? Smooth and majestic ride across the strait, never experienced any delaying traffic or similar.This Christmas, when storm Pia was visiting the region, the bridge was closed for a few hours, but my feeling is it is rather flexible when it comes to opening in different weather conditions.

The Øresund Bridge in Malmo is nothing short of an engineering marvel and an iconic symbol of connectivity and innovation. Spanning across the beautiful waters of the Øresund Strait, this bridge is a testament to human ingenuity and architectural prowess.One of the most striking aspects of the Øresund Bridge is its stunning design. The elegant, sweeping curves and sleek lines of the structure create a sense of grace and beauty that perfectly complements the surrounding natural landscape.But beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Øresund Bridge serves a crucial purpose, connecting Sweden and Denmark in an efficient and convenient way. It has not only made travel between these two countries more accessible but has also fostered economic and cultural ties, making it a symbol of unity and cooperation.Whether you're driving across the bridge, taking a train, or simply admiring it from a distance, the Øresund Bridge is an awe-inspiring sight that leaves a lasting impression. It's a remarkable testament to human achievement and a must-visit landmark for anyone traveling to the region.

What a stunning bridge. If you go from Sweden to Denmark you have to cross the bridge. Plan that there is a fee in the bridge. You can buy combo tickets if you also take a ferry to Germany or elsewhere back. Also buy an online pass or just go there and pay at a service station and get the Maut right there. It’s 55€ so far. You can not walk or bike over the bridge. But the view is stunning crossing it from both sides. Worth going to Sweden by car.

Copenhagen’s Nyhavn is a beautiful harbor lined with restaurants and bars. It was originally a working-class area filled mostly with sailors and fishermen, but Baroque Architecture still pops up in many of the buildings. The harbor is one of the most popular areas in the city and its a great place to start exploring Copenhagen!
This was a beautiful place with loads of tourists as well as loads of Christmas vibes were coming from that... As there was a Christmas market as well as there was harbour to have a boat ride... With so colourful buildings.... It was a great spot to enjoy with friends and family. There were so many restaurants available over there and lots of cafes to have some snacks

Amazing, but..I wish I had been visiting in autumn or spring because the experience itself would have been more enjoyable. The buildings are as beautiful and historic as you want them to be, but the hordes of rude and disrespectful cruise ship passengers really ruin the atmosphere, throwing their rubbish on the ground and not having basic manners.

A must for Copenhagen! The place has an unique charm due to the colorful old houses. Some of them are about 400 years old and in several once H. C. Andersen has resided! Various restaurants are absolutely great, however, proces are above the average for the city. One should visit the place at sunset.

A picturesque spot with brightly coloured buildings along a waterfront.This is a beautiful spot, with the bright buildings and boats along the wharves making it feel very bucolic.

Nyhavn, the iconic waterfront district, is an absolute must-visit. We strolled along the cobblestone streets, admiring each building with its brightly painted facade, which added to the charm and character of the area. The canal, lined with old wooden ships, provided a perfect backdrop for our walk.The atmosphere was buzzing with energy. Street performers, bustling cafes, and restaurants with outdoor seating added to the vibrant vibe. We decided to sit at one of the many restaurants and enjoyed few beers. The food and drink options in Nyhavn are plentiful.It’s a place that shouldn’t be missed. So beautiful, stunning, and truly magnificent. I couldn’t stop clicking pictures. The colorful lined houses, cafes, and restaurants on both sides of the river make Nyhavn a spectacular and memorable destination.

The area itself is kind of small but it's full of life. The building on each side are very colorful and if you go later on toward the evening when sun sets it's very pretty especially with reflections off the water.There was live entertainment when I went and restaurants line one entire side. The restaurants are quite pricey though, so just be prepared for that.Two cheeseburgers cost us nearly $50 and that's toward the cheap end. Almost everything will cost you more than that

What a beautiful city Nyhavn in Copenhagen is! It’s a vibrant place with colorful buildings and scenic waterfront views. What I first noticed was the amazing flocks of tourists in the streets and the friendly locals who are always willing to chat and mingle.I spent two nights at this magical place and loved every minute of it. The area is within walking distance of so many attractions. Whether you're into shopping, food, drinks, coffee spots, or boat tours, everything is there for your enjoyment. This is one of those places where you have to do your own discovery.For me, I was there for the food and tried to get reservations at Noma, but I wasn't lucky enough. However, I did find another special restaurant called Mielcke & Hurtigkarl, which was amazing. Nyhavn is a beautiful place where you can get lost among the charming buildings, delicious food, and the simple pleasure of people-watching.Cheers,BN

The Rosenborg Castle is a palace located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is noted for its art treasures and for the Crown Jewels - the largest collection of jewels in the world. The castle also houses the Royal Museum, which houses objects collected by Danish royalty.
Breathtakingly beautiful castle with a huge and rich collection of antiques and valuable items. The garden of the castle is some of the most picturesque gardens in Copenhagen, especially during the summer season. The staff is super kind and friendly. Very impressive exhibition of artwork, the Crown Jewels, etc. The rooms are renovating nicely and you are able to follow the diversity of furniture during the different periods.

A small and cute castle with an awesome garden and great outside design. I didn't have time to enter the inside, but did a good round walk that I enjoyed. Definitely worth the visit. If you're not going to enter, you can see it good enough from the gardens - the two aren't connected directly probably for security reasons.

This old castle is interesting, and of course, the crown jewels in the basement are the big draw. Most of the artifacts are hard to see. Almost everything seemed dusty and neglected. Many of the items are priceless, so it seems sad to let them sit so clearly uncared for.I recommend going with a good guide or guidebook, to get a better sense of the history.

Built in Dutch Renaissance style during the 1600’s its small windows result in dimly lit interiors. Interior plasterwork is ornate and heavy, the main points of interest are the naval tapestries in the great hall on the top floor and the royal regalia and valuable gold and silver items displayed in the basement vaults.

Small castle with some interesting rooms. My favourite is the mirrors room. The free map is very informative with good tidbits about each room. If you have to choose only one of the palaces/castles I would say this one is the one that offers the most for your buck. The gardens are also great for a picnic and a bit of rest. There was a bit of a wait to get in due to entrance times but this also means that you won’t be crowded inside. If you have a tight schedule I would suggest booking in advance.

One of the beautiful historical sites in Copenhegen. Booking for time slot online in advance is highly recommended. It's very well operated and very beautiful from floor to ceiling. There are two separate parts. First entrance to visit the Royal rooms in the castle, and then walking to Treasury which the Royal treasure is stored, including very gorgeous crowns. All staff are very friendly and helpful. So impressive!

A very good display of Kings/Queens belongings and utilities. One can find a lot of paintings in the castle in every room and also see how the painting skills have changed over decades. The numbered rooms and digital audio guide in the mobile were a good use of technology and easy to know the place. They also give a hard copy of the guide.The castle tour is on multiple floors. Every item, decor, and interior is so grand that each random picture will look very rich. After coming out, be sure to go inside another entrance and check out the treasury in the basement. Excellent collection of jewelry, guns, wine barrels, ivory carvings, etc. The single entry ticket will get you to enter both castle and treasury.After this, one can roam around in the huge gardens. We didn't find the entrance for this from the inside, so we just had to walk till the road and go in the garden from a different entrance. It is very pleasant and well maintained, so it's worth going in the garden.

Great Renaissance era castle. The exterior is super impressive and the grounds are meticulously maintained. To enter the castle it costs 130 Danish Krone - but it is well worth it! The castle has heaps of preserved memorabilia from the era, and the rooms are super interesting - including the “Throne Room”. Highly recommended if you are in Copenhagen.

Salle du trône, petite salle des glaces, et surtout la salle du trésor qui renferme les somptueuses couronnes, bijoux et autres objets en or. A faire. Mieux vaut réserver votre billet, en été, car il y a beaucoup de monde et si vous arriver un peu tard vous risquez de ne plus avoir de billets car le nombre d'entrée est limité. Vous avez un ticket avec un horaire. Le jardin est accessible gratuitement.(Translated by Google)Unmissable. This castle dating from the time of Christian IV has remarkable rooms. Throne room, small mirror room, and especially the treasure room which contains sumptuous crowns, jewelry and other golden objects. To do. It is better to reserve your ticket in summer, because it is very crowded and if you arrive a little late you risk running out of tickets because the number of entries is limited. You have a ticket with a timetable. The garden is accessible free of charge.

Absolutely beautiful! Much better than the more famous Amalienborg Palace museum, and well worth the trip. Keep an eye out for the trick chair that was used to make someone look as though they’d wet themselves and the communication holes from one end of the palace to the other!

The castle is small but beautiful. It was less busy than castles we've been to in the past which allowed you to take your time and admire the castle. If your ticket gives you access to the Treasury, that is really beautiful. Combined, the castle took us an hour and a half. That may be reduced if you don't stop to read the information they have displayed. We enjoyed our time there.

Although small on the outside, the castle houses a lot of interesting contents. Work your way through the castle and the history to learn about the different kings. The basement has an impressive selection of ivory and the crown jewels aren't to be missed. Easy to spend 1-1.5 hours here.

A beautiful castle from the outside, filled with decadent displays of royal wealth on the inside. It's good value for the price as each room has something fascinating to look at.The basement, featuring the collection of ivory sculptures and the crown jewels is absolutely amazing, it's truly staggering how much wealth is on display here.The outside rose gardens are also lovely to walk through and get a great view of the castle.

Beautiful castle with a rose garden, a moat and a large park. It’s very peaceful and a nice place to take a break. There is a small play area for children in the park and you will find lots of families there.The interiors are absolutely beautiful.The castle gift shop is very nice and lots of nice articles.

What a magnificent castle housing some impressive artifacts. It was busy so had to wait 50 mins for our slot, which was ok as it gave us the opportunity to explore the grounds and admire the castle from the outside.Once inside, you circulate around each floor. tip, use the guide leaflet available free at the ticket office and is available in multiple languages.You end your tour in the basemen, where the royal Crown Jewels are stored. Very impressive

This is an early 17th century castle that houses the Danish Crown Jewels. The ballroom/knight’s hall and glass cabinet on the top floor were particularly nice to see, as were the surrounding gardens, which are free. Well worth a visit, which I would recommend prioritizing if pressed for time.
Anne S — Google review
This old palace houses a lot of old royal paintings and treasures. The crowns and jewelry are shown in the basement. However, you have to walk up three floors and one floor down to the basement to see all these. No lifts. Bathrooms are also outside the building. The garden is open to the public. It has a separate entrance. That means you cannot walk directly from the castle to the garden.

Well worth a visit to learn more about the history of the Danish royal family 🇩🇰Plenty to see inside and a lovely park outside the castle to enjoy the fresh air.The highlights are to be found in the basement of the castle where the Crown Jewels are held, alongside the royal wine, ivory and amber collections. Stunning!A must-see when visiting Copenhagen

The entrance requires timed tickets which gets really busy on weekend mornings unless you reserve online.The castle itself is small and rustic compared to other castles in terms of fittings and rooms however the treasury is a must visit and exhibits some of the finest collection.Gardens itself are nice to wall through as well.

Rosenborg Castle is truly beautiful. While we didn't get the chance to go inside, the exterior alone is worth the visit. The architecture is very impressive, showcasing intricate details and historical charm. The castle is set in the lovely King’s Garden, which provides a picturesque backdrop for a leisurely stroll.

Regarded as one of the best castles in Scandinavia, this site offers a remarkable experience for visitors. The expansive park surrounding the castle is a popular spot, drawing many joggers and dog walkers. Beyond the lush greenery, the castle itself is a stunning architectural masterpiece, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking picturesque settings and memorable photo opportunities. The combination of historical significance and the vibrant atmosphere of the park makes this attraction a delightful and enriching experience for all.

We had to go 4 times to be able to finally get into the castle. We got the Copenhagen card, which I highly recommend, but it would have been important to know that it is necessary to book a time slot for the visit. They were in the midst of redoing their booking app as many people abuse the booking, reserving several time slots simultaneously, which occupy spots they will not use. Unfortunately, only 52 people are allowed to enter at a time for safety restrictions. The castle was spectacular, the craftsmanship in the furniture, (metal, wood, and stone inlays) is an art which has been lost! The tapestries covering the walls are gigantic and detailed in perfect proportion, so amazing! The crown jewels in the cellar are the icing on the cake! The kings gardens are free and beautiful. The children's playground is built with creativity!

This is a great tourist stop. The castle itself is amazing inside. There is a lot to see and some wonderful picture opportunities. Self guided. Tours start every hour or so and it takes about 60-90 minutes. The treasury in the basement was definitely worth it. I also loved the throne room.

Interesting royal castle with rich tapestry and a myriad of items to observe, showcasing the splendour of the royal dynasty and their history. The building is mostly made of smaller rooms, but once you enter the throne room, the proportions are gigantic, and the perspectives are elongated. It's not a visit you can miss, and you'll spend a few hours marvelling around.

The castle is really nice. Some rooms are richly decorated and some of the items on display are really interesting. I booked a ticket ( meant for annual pass but on the website it mentioned it was also suitable for CPH card holders) but had to wait 40minutes to get in. Staff doesn't really know which tickets are accepted.

We only viewed the castle from the King's Garden, across the moat. The architecture is quite lovely and reminiscent of fairytale castles. We didn't have time to go into the castle during our trip, but instead viewed its exterior facade - which is worth stopping to view. It's a lovely area to walk through though.

We toured the castle on a weekday, it was very busy and they did do staggered entrance by time. We did not book in advance so we had to wait about a hour before our time came up, however we went to lunch so it was perfect. The tour had multiple languages available. They had a neat little mask arts and crafts making area for the kids and mine loved it. They lasted about 2 floors before needing a break. If you are on limited time, the kids and adults loved the basement and treasury the most. This included the Crown Jewels and some of the interesting swords, etc.
Kimberly H — Google review
We had a fantastic experience with the kids! I highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance, as we waited about an hour and a half for the next available tour. The castle is filled with incredible art, jewelry, weapons, and other fascinating accessories from castle life. It’s conveniently located next to a beautiful garden and a kids’ play area. There’s also a room where children can make masks, though there is an additional cost for this activity. A great bonus is that kids under 17 can enter for free!

Mid-June visit. We arrived around 10:00, a short queue later we got tickets and then a subsequent wait of 20 minutes before our group was allowed entry. The castle had some renovation work going on but overall it was beautifully presented. The crown jewels beneath the castle take pride of place and are definitely worth seeing before you leave.

Definitely worth the visit if you’re in Copenhagen, my highlight of my visit would be The Royal Treasury: The castle’s treasury house, a dazzling array of royal regalia. Diamonds, pearls, and gem-studded scepters gleam behind thick glass. These artifacts, once worn by monarchs, now rest in quiet splendor. Each piece tells a saga—a narrative of power, love, and ambition.

Visiting Rosenborg Castle was a highlight of my stay in Copenhagen. Though I usually don't enjoy Renaissance architecture, this castle is a must visit for anyone remotely interested in architecture & history. The rooms are filled with treasures and as a tourist you can fully appreciate the craftsmanship involved in the construction of both the Castle and artifacts.The Danish Crown Jewels glitter in the lower levels and rivial the most lavish sights in the world. I'd happily visit Rosenborg again; it's worth every penny.

Beautiful danish castle where the crown Jewels are kept. When visiting, don't miss the basement. That's where the jewels and armor are. Keep your ticket as you'll need it for both the 3 floors of the castle and again for the basement. Don't miss one of the royal chairs is made from the tusks of narwahls. Explore the grounds, too, beautiful gardens.

Musée d'art moderne et musée naturel où dans la cour vous aurez la chance de voir le plus gros météorite d'Europe.(Translated by Google)Pretty castle with beautiful rooms.

Museum of modern art and natural museum where in the courtyard you will have the chance to see the largest meteorite in Europe.

The Little Mermaid statue is one of the most iconic and recognizable statues in Copenhagen, Denmark. The statue, created by Danish artist Edvard Eriksen, is of a character from H.C. Andersen's fairytale.
Went to see the mermaid because it is a must when visiting the city.Some people say it is not worth visiting because of how small it is, and because it’s only a statue.However, I think it is worth visiting, although the statue is just what you can see in the picture, the place where it is is very beautiful, you do need to walk 15-20 minutes, but with such gorgeous views it isn’t a problem.

Location is just Cool and pleasant to take walk with loved ones. Statue isn’t big but the history behind it is captivating. Industries and wind mills behind the statue will increase the beauty even more attractive.Easily can spend 1 to 2 hours just enjoying the climate.

The little mermaid is one of the iconic sites of Copenhagen. The mermaid is located on the Kastellet (the citadel) area of the city, which is Europe's oldest in use barracks.The area provides ample opportunities to take photos and I highly recommend walking the grounds to get the best perspectives.The mermaid itself can get very busy with tourists, however there are plenty of angles to capture shots whilst avoiding photo bombers.
Greg K — Google review
You have to walk so much to get to the place just to find coach buses with plenty of people and everyone taking photos. Too far to take proper photos, unless you go into the water. It is only to say "I have been there"
Carla A — Google review
I came here because 'you have to' and after traveling to multiple countries, I guess I'm used to see landmarks that are not spectacular per se. The story behind the mermaid was what initially attracted me. The statue is very simple and even discrete, at night there's not even a light to highlighted it. The area around is gorgeous and it makes the visit worth it.

I visited little mermaid in Copenhagen on 28.10.2022 and it really a refreshing relaxing and memorable experience. It is a very peaceful ambiance and park close to this place is a must to visit place. It is 10-15 mon walk from the nearest station. You will get very peaceful environment to stay there.. Highly Recommend Place to Visit in Denmark…

It's a nice walk up to the mermaid. The fountain before the mermaid is more stunning, just at the foot of the fortress. The mermaid is traditional to visit. But could be slightly disappointing.

It’s a very unique place and lot of tourists reach this place to see the beauty of this statue. More children are exited to visit. To have a visit we can take the public transport, can walk or can have a ride in a boat with all the information guides. I went by walking and I recommend to walk from the center so you can find everyplace while you reaching this destination. It was a small statue. Near you can find some ice cream tracks and some other food tracks also. If you have time can visit to this place or you can skip also while you planning your travels. There are some many people so if we need to take a picture with the mermaid we need to wait little longer. It’s free. No need of a ticket

To see the Little Mermaid is surely a must if one is in Copenhagen. We took a stroll down the Park to the seafront ,it was crowded with visitors taking her picture. Indeed she is really little, sitting there waiting to meet her Prince! Happy that i got to see her !

The most notable landmark of the city. It is situated in a nice park next to the sea so we had such a nice walk to reach it that day. I was not surprised by the size but quite the opposite I thought it was going to be super small while it is like human size. It was crowded but still easily approachable. I was also surprised that tourists can reach and touch the statue itself.

Based on the 1837 fairy tale of the same name by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, the small and unimposing statue is a Copenhagen icon and has been a major tourist attraction since its unveiling in 1913. In recent decades it has become a popular target for defacement by vandals and political activists.Mermaid is among iconic statues that symbolize cities.You can sit on bench and enjoy the view.

Not much to look at, except a little statue sitting atop a rock, in some water. But I hear its a must visit landmark when in Copenhagen, so I guess it means a lot to a lot of people.Expect large crowds at most times of the day, tons of people fighting for the perfect selfie spot for the memories. Not much else, I have to say. And, oh, mind the rocks when finding your selfie spot.

It is a lovely statue but oh my, so so many people taking pictures! I couldn't get close to it at all to see the Little Mermaid properly. The rocks are slippery when wet and I saw quite a few people slip. If you have time in the city, go a little later on or early, to avoid crowds.

I found the statue to be quite charming and the area to be lovely for walking. The statue isn't huge, but the draw isn't the size but instead the story. Work with angles and camera zoom and some nice shots can be taken, too. I'd recommend a visit and also encourage others to explore the area around the statue.
Aaron P — Google review
Loved the view of people crawling around the little statue to take pictures. The mainly empty parking revealed that it was extremely quiet. I cannot imagine visiting the statue in high season. It must be chaotic.The statue itself is lovely, but since the city is full of - in my opinion - more impressive statues, I would always choose to avoid it in high season.The surroundings on the other hand is making strolling around definetely worth it. We sat down by the waterfront and watched boats, swans and blossoming trees.

The Little Mermaid statue is a must-see for any visitor to Copenhagen. It's a small bronze statue depicting a mermaid sitting on a rock by the water's edge.The statue is based on the famous fairy tale of the same name by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. The fairy tale tells the story of a mermaid who gives up her tail and her voice in order to become human and win the love of a prince.The Little Mermaid statue was created by Edvard Eriksen and was unveiled in 1913. It is a popular tourist attraction and has been featured in many films and television shows.The statue is located at Langelinie promenade, which is a great place to take a walk and enjoy the views of the harbor.

I've read such disappointing reviews, but the Little Mermaid sculpture is not bad at all! ☺️ If you are in Copenhagen, you should definitely visit her, she is just minding her own business and sitting by the sea. I give only 4* as it was really crowded, and everyone just gathered around it, so this visit wasn't really organised.
Emese G — Google review
I was told that she is there since 100+ years and nobody knows who placed her there and why.I visited her on a windy cold day, she sits there in the cold, admiring the sea, she appears sad may be bcoz she is worried about all the smoke that the shipping companies were producing and imagining where the world is heading to.I spent time admiring her and taking few pics and enjoying the scenic views, the windmills.was really not happy with the smoke from the shipping industries.I was also told that she was thrown paint and decapitated few times.There is no entry fee, it is next to castle and a huge park where you can spend time walking around. it is windy, I suggest you gear up to handle the cold.

The Little Mermaid & The KastelletSince we visited the Hans Christian Andersen museum, it was only natural to visit Copenhagens/Denmark’s most iconic little statue of the Little Mermaid and take a good walk around its surroundings, which included the Fort!When I mentioned in my earlier posts, that it was a bucket list item, it seemed that the many tourist busses, (primarily with Chinese/Taiwanese) were in the same mindset so to speak!Friendly, yet aggressive crowds all keen to take selfies, made it near impossible to just stand and admire this little statue!Taking a stroll down we were able to take a look at the Kastellet, a 17th century fortress which while still operating on various activities, it is also a venue for concerts etc. it certainly is the spot for the exercise crowd as many runners/joggers could be seen enjoying this lovely scenery!Great morning out! Simply an enjoyable touristy thing to do!#thetourist #alifetimetrip#copenhagen #denmark #thelittlemermaid #hanschristianandersen

Castle
Nature & Parks
Frederiksborg Castle is an impressive 17th-century fortress-palace situated on the banks of Slotso lake in Hillerod, Denmark. The palace boasts stunning Dutch Renaissance architecture and features Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements. It now houses a museum of Danish and royal history showcasing over 80 rooms filled with beautiful furniture, tapestries, historical paintings and art pieces. The central courtyards are accessible for free along with the beautifully manicured baroque gardens.
A little bit off the beaten path, but easy to get to by train, especially with the Copenhagen Card. There’s a nice walk through the park to get there from the train station, and a gorgeous lake and gardens, too. The castle itself is impressive! Definitely worth the trip, especially if you have the city card.

Spectacular castle experience. The audio tour was informative and not too long. Bags are not allowed inside, but they have lockers available. The building is cold and quite dark, so keep your coat on. Staff was friendly. Organ concert was at 13:30 and quite cool to see. We spent 3.5 hours there. We recommend that you get there right at opening, because you can definitely use all 4 hours they were open. (Limited hours in January). Take a spare battery to be sure your phone stays charged for photos and audio tour. Keep your coat on, because the castle is relatively cold. The museum offered flashlights which came in handy. The castle store was pretty good. After we were kicked out at closing time, we enjoyed walking down the town’s walking street and getting something to eat, on our way back to the train station.

Has so many history for many centuries.You can take the train line A from Copenhagen central station for 38 minutes with around 10€ and you will then walk around 17 minutes to reach the castle. The scenery from the lake is breathtaking.I definitely recommend visiting it as it’s a must see while you are visiting the Denmark.

I still can't believe how breathtakingly beautiful Frederiksborg Castle is! From the moment I stepped onto the tranquil lakefront, I knew I was in for a treat. The stunning Renaissance architecture, the majestic spires, and the picturesque surroundings all combined to create an unforgettable experience.As I wandered through the opulent halls and chambers, I felt like I'd stepped back in time. The intricate frescoes, ornate furnishings, and exquisite art collections transported me to a world of royal grandeur and elegance. And the stories! Oh, the stories these walls could tell... of monarchs and nobles, of triumphs and tragedies.But what truly made my visit special was the sense of connection I felt to the history and culture of Denmark. Frederiksborg Castle is more than just a pretty face; it's a window into the country's rich heritage and a testament to its resilience and strength.I left with a heart full of wonder and a soul inspired by the beauty and majesty of this incredible castle. If you ever find yourself in Hillerød, do not – I repeat, DO NOT – miss the chance to experience Frederiksborg Castle for yourself. It's a treasure trove of Danish history and culture, and a memory you'll cherish forever.

Incredible palace, full of history, presented in an understandable way for foreigners who do not know danish history well. Amazing halls with such rich decorative elements, representative of each era! The extensive gardens are equally impressive - relaxing and providing the best stroll ever! A suggestion though: perhaps it would be interesting for visitors to have some explanations about everyday furniture use (beds, cupboards, linen use etc). At least I appreciate it when I find such info in history museums.

Nice castle in small town 40 minutes from Copenhagen.A little bit expensive, but I guess a lot goes into maintaining the castle and the gardens.The gardens are free, so that’s great.The castle itself has a lot of paintings and beautiful woodwork.Recommend if you have a free slot in your time here in Denmark.

Beautiful castle with plenty to see. A lot of the castle begins to look the same after a while--opulent rooms with portraits of Danish royalty & nobility. The chapel/church is more unique and worth spending a little more time in, as are the gardens.

Visit this castle if you are interested in seeing the opulence of the Danish monarchy from 1600-1800s. Visitors have access to most of the castle. They offer period costumes for children to wear in the great hall. The garden is beautiful. We visited on a summer Friday morning and the crowd wasn’t too bad.

Amazing castle! Full of stuff to see inside and outside. The rooms are filled with historical furniture, paintings, etc. I personally loved the church. I think the entrance is about 75 dkk so great price!You can still go around the castle in the beautiful gardens and around the lake for free though. Plus, I love the square with the restaurants; always end up there after our stroll!

What an extravagant castle. There are countless small details to note while walking through here. The chapel was gorgeous I could spend hours just looking at it. There’s also a nice ferry ride behind the castle that you can take.

This is a really opulent castle and it was very beautiful to walk around. The building and its decorations were very intricate. But the museum plaques will only teach you about the portraits on the walls, and most rooms are empty except for the paintings.

Absolutely worth the visit. Can take the blue line, included in the large metro ticket. Lovely setting, fascinating architecture. The great room and chapel really stand out for their grandeur. The original Carl Bloch paintings were moving and the amount of history contained in the castle delightful. The grounds were lovely to walk. Situated close to shops and restaurants to make a whole day of it

Simply wow. The location, inside the castle, art and decor were simply the best. You can reach there by road or take a small boat to reach there. They are renovating the outside of the castle. But once you enter it is simply stunning. I would say it's a must visit when you are in Copenhagen. The best so far I have seen here. Has beautiful garden at the back. If you are not in a hurry you can easily spend more than half a day.

The castle itself was undergoing renovations at the time, and the interior ticket price was a bit expensive for students, so I chose not to enter for a tour. However, there was a peaceful garden behind the castle, which I really enjoyed.

What an amazing castle! It is a big slot with 4 floors counting the basement as well! There are lockers for the big bags and you are not allowed to bring an umbrella inside!When we arrived there was a baptism at the chapel but fortunately later it was accessible for the audience! We were excited with the Great Hall! Kids there, are able to try on little suits which is really cute!The third floor is dedicated to modern art with photos of important Danes and modern art!The gardens are really beautiful (we visited in July) to stroll around!Definitely worths the visit!!

The place is amazing, magnificent, with a nice, peaceful walk around the castle and the gardens. But there is a bug negative for us. Even though they have an audio guide and an app, there is so little history told in these guides. All they talk about are various personalities from Denmark and their paintings, whereas they should talk more about the great history of Denmark and of the castle. The rooms are a bit empty, filled with paintings mostly. Feels a bit like gallery.

Had two lovely exhibits while I was visiting, seeing the statues of the gods was stunning. Would absolutely suggest carving a few hours out to visit and not only walk the castle but the garden. There is a nice 15m walk through the town that is full of shops prior to arriving at the castle.

Frederiksborg Castle, situated in Hillerød, Denmark, stands as a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage. Its grandeur and historical significance make it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in Danish history.The castle's architectural splendor is immediately apparent upon arrival, with its Renaissance-style facade and picturesque surroundings. Despite the ongoing maintenance of one tower during my visit, the castle's charm remains undiminished, offering visitors a glimpse into its illustrious past.Exploring the castle's interior reveals a treasure trove of artifacts and artworks, meticulously curated to showcase Denmark's royal legacy. The museum within the castle boasts an extensive collection, ranging from priceless paintings and tapestries to regal furnishings and ceremonial regalia. However, it's important to note that entry to the museum requires a ticket, which can be purchased onsite or online, adding a nominal cost to the visit.Despite this, the experience of wandering through the castle's halls and chambers is nothing short of enchanting. Each room exudes opulence and grandeur, offering insight into the lives of Danish royalty throughout the centuries. Highlights include the Great Hall, the chapel, and the beautifully adorned gardens surrounding the castle.Beyond its architectural and historical significance, Frederiksborg Castle provides visitors with a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The tranquil lakes and meticulously manicured gardens create an idyllic setting for leisurely strolls and contemplation.In conclusion, Frederiksborg Castle is a cultural gem that showcases the best of Denmark's past. Despite minor inconveniences such as ongoing maintenance and the need for museum tickets, the castle's beauty and historical significance make it a worthwhile destination for travelers of all interests. Whether you're a history buff, an art enthusiast, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, a visit to Frederiksborg Castle promises an unforgettable experience.

A very good experience. Staff was friendly, informative and helpful. The castle is just incredible and information about everything is in both danish and english which was very helpful. Using the recommended app, that they advertise when you come into the castle, makes the experience even better. If you like history and amazing and beautiful venues you are in luck, this castle got plenty of it.

Highly recommend visiting the castle, it’s a short trip from Copenhagen. Ticket prices are very reasonable for what the landmark has to offer, and it’s a beautiful, interesting place. I’ve especially enjoyed the sensory rooms because I found them quite unique, I’ve never experienced such an addition in historical spots like this one. Staff was super friendly as well. Great experience overall!

Magnificent place, worth a day’s visit. The garden is quite large too and the park around is even bigger. There are many small paths in the park, all are well taken care of and easy to walk. Worth coming in spring (late May) to see blossoming rhododendron bushes.We haven’t gone into the museum as we were short on time, and the kids enjoyed running around the garden. But the entry ticket is quite reasonably priced - 110dkk for grownups, 90dkk for students and free for kids and youth under 18. Definitely looked interesting inside.

I still can't believe how breathtakingly beautiful Frederiksborg Castle is! From the moment I stepped onto the tranquil lakefront, I knew I was in for a treat. The stunning Renaissance architecture, the majestic spires, and the picturesque surroundings all combined to create an unforgettable experience.As I wandered through the opulent halls and chambers, I felt like I'd stepped back in time. The intricate frescoes, ornate furnishings, and exquisite art collections transported me to a world of royal grandeur and elegance. And the stories! Oh, the stories these walls could tell... of monarchs and nobles, of triumphs and tragedies.But what truly made my visit special was the sense of connection I felt to the history and culture of Denmark. Frederiksborg Castle is more than just a pretty face; it's a window into the country's rich heritage and a testament to its resilience and strength.I left with a heart full of wonder and a soul inspired by the beauty and majesty of this incredible castle. If you ever find yourself in Hillerød, do not – I repeat, DO NOT – miss the chance to experience Frederiksborg Castle for yourself. It's a treasure trove of Danish history and culture, and a memory you'll cherish forever.Amazing place to visit!!!

Must visit!!! a place with breathtaking architecture and a rich historical background. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with its history beforehand and engage with the knowledgeable guides available on-site. The guiders are known for their patience and willingness to provide detailed information upon inquiry. Additionally, make sure to visit the gallery located on the top floor and explore the offerings at the shop during your visit.

This is great castle! It has a moat, a great hall, a church and everything!Not wheelchair accessible.It’s an hour away from Copenhagen and a lovely day-trip away from the buzzing city.The castle and a stroll in the French inspired garden, this little Versailles is worth the trip. And the ceilings! Wow does this place (the castle) have great ceilings! Remember to book a massage afterwards.

I would like to say, this castle is one of the beautiful castles in the world, Situated on 3 Islands and surrounded by a lake and beautiful gardens, it's simply spectacular and breathtaking. Unlike other other famous great castles I have visited in Europe, we were able to get as close as to the display, artworks, furniture etc...free to roam and explore at our own pleasure. This castle is absolutely worth a visit or must visit while in Copenhagen, it's really something!

Surrounded by huge garden and park, this castle has 3 level and basement.If you are interested into detail and history, I suggest to visit at least 3 hours. It’s huge castle.But the ticket, put your bag or jacket in the locker, show ticket to the controller and voila, the journey starts.There is also elevator for wheelchair but some location I think a bit difficult to be visited with wheelchair.Recommendation places to be seen: church/chapel and the great hall

Modern art museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark showcases an impressive collection of international contemporary and modern art dating back to 1945. The museum also features temporary exhibitions and is suitable for all ages. Visitors can bring their own food and drinks or dine at the cafeteria/restaurant. The facility is easily accessible with baby strollers and boasts creative spaces for children to play and create.
I love this place & have a membership! I have been there almost half a dozen times. Love the exhibitions, the painting & drawing area for kids (I have done it too), sitting in the garden outside or in the restaurant overlooking the sea, getting the sun, enjoying sumptuous meal with your loved ones! It’s a whole experience. Must visit if you are coming to Copenhagen. I live here but I love it so much I have a membership 🙂

I won't necessarily define it a "must-see", but if you've spent enough time in Copenhagen and you're running out of ideas for where to spend one afternoon, you should consider coming here. But only if weather is decent enough! You don't want to miss out on the sculpture garden, which also accounts for enriching your experience at the museum. It is simply way better if you can walk outdoors and enjoy admiring the sculptures and the surroundings when brightened by the sunlight. Speaking of the exhibitions, it's all about modern art, and a few creations really got my attention. I visited during the Peter Cook exhibit, which was really a "Wow!". Of course, even if you're not an art expert, you need to show up with the mindset to embody yourself in the artist and really try to understand the background behind certain masterpieces, otherwise your reaction to most of the exhibits is going to be like "What the heck is this?". You can easily spend 2-3 hours here if you're an average person like me (not really into art, but curious enough to learn something new), otherwise if art is your thing, consider taking the whole afternoon. Easily accessible by car, there's plenty of parking outside. Overall, an enjoyable experience for a fair price.

Nestled into a beautiful seaside beach with impressive landscape where architecture meets Nature.Louisiana museum has the World class collection of Modern & Contemporary art, which draws visitors from all over the World. It is a fine museum worth visiting. Especially during Summer days.The most memorable feature of this museum is the connection -between Inside and Outside- is carefully choreographed to maximize the sense of place and reduce the museum fatigue often occurs in a claustrophobic space in large museums.The collection and exhibition -A. Giacometti, Modern paintings and well curated Temporary exhibitions are superb examples that make this institution impressive. Access from Copenhagen via simple train ride is clear and convenient. Two thumbs up!

My favorite museum!!! Went there several times during my stay in Copenhagen. After my first visit I loved it so much that I cancelled all my sightseeing in the following days and went to Louisiana. So many good things about this place. First and the most obvious one is the design of the whole place is stunning, including the architecture and interior design and that nice park behind the building. Everywhere is so pretty! You can also enjoy a nice sunset by the sea after your visit. Second is the exhibitions. I met my favorite exhibition by far, epic waste of love and understanding by Ragnar Kjartansson, every work of him is worth appreciated, I actually stayed in the room of “a lot of sorrow” for more than six hours to watch this six-hour-long video non-stop. I really grow on modern art here. Also, the opening hour there is very friendly, they are open until 10pm on weekdays. Love this place so much, really looking forward to going back!!!

The museum and its setting, sans the art, is an experience in itself - a beautiful small complex of interconnected buildings set upon a hill facing the sea (ok it’s probably a strait but it’s sea if you don’t look at the map). Make sure you descend down to the sea and touch it and smell it and sit upon the little pier. Perhaps even swim in it as we saw some brave locals do! Brave because the water was already cold at the end of September. But seriously bring a bathing suit in the summer!I don’t love Giacometti, which the museum has a lot of, but did find other sculpture to love and admire there. This is largely a sculpture museum.It is outside of (or on the edge of?) the city but very easy to get to and very worth it! In my opinion, this the most unique of Copenhagen’s museums.My first time here I also had a great sandwich from the more casual cafe, but it appeared to be closed when I came at the end of September this time. There is a more formal sit down cafe that overlooks the sea also.

Louisiana is one of the best museums in Europe if not the world.The whole experience you get from the moment you enter, to exhibitions and even the cafe are more than satisfying. You will see everything here from modern contemporary to classics to sculptures the museum has it all.In order to get here from Copenhagen you must do it either by car or train. Train was very easy to get and takes around 45 minutes from Copenhagen to Luisiana.Make sure to arrive early in the morning to avoid the queues, this place gets packed during the weekends. Allow anyway around 3-5 hrs to have a relaxed but full experience

The selection of artists and works is great and everything is so beautifully displayed in this amazing building where you can navigate between inside expositions and outside to either watch a piece of art, have a coffee or a snack or bask in the sun. I may dare to say, one of the most beautiful museums I’ve visited.

Incredibly beautiful place. I was not very impressed with their rotating art exhibits, but I recognize everyone has their own tastes so to some, they may be fantastic.

Wonderful experience, in beautiful grounds.Obviously the art exhibits inside change regularly so the experience will always change.We spent a whole Sunday here, arriving around lunchtime, finishing the day with a meal in the restaurant, which was delicious.As a coeliac there were lots of gluten free options in the restaurant.As an art lover, there was a good mix of the classic early 1900s and modern art through the visual of video and interactive art installations.As a lover of scenery, you would be hard pushed to enjoy more beautiful grounds at any art gallery.

We spent here two hours since we were on a timetable, but we will reserve more time for our next visit. You can easily get there from Copenhagen by train.

This museum is situated at a unique location facing the ocean. Ajoined by basement compartments, the 3 separated houses of the museum are bigger than what u see on the surface. Furthermore, the space for the outdoor sculpture garden was spacious with the ocean as the background. You have to give yourself a good 3 hours to view the exhibitions inside out. Really like the overall setting & currations. Definitely worth the 50min train ride from Copenhagen Central Station + a 15min walk to the Muse if u could spare your time for a visit🤩.

Superb! Magnifique.Must visit museum in København/ Copenhagen city!Located quite Far from the city center, at Humblebaek area and you should also walk about 800m- 1 km to get to the museum.I visited just last Wednesday and arrive before 11 am and it’s already very packed with people, crowded queue and wow most of them are elders. Very impressive.The contemporary artworks collection are insanely rare and authentic. Details and caption explaining very well, the interior and exterior really pops up your mind when pay attention to the details.Don’t forget to walking around at the backyard park which is amazingly beautiful landscape scenery that you ever seen, with the flowing river underneath where you can enjoy the view while sitting down with your meal and gazing to the art statues etc.Definitely a gem and will be back!And also there is kids section for those of you who visit with kiddos don’t worry.

- It’s about a 45-minute train ride from Copenhagen Central Station, followed by a 15-minute walk from the nearest station. This is a must-visit during your Copenhagen trip, and you’ll likely need a full day, at least until the evening, to fully enjoy it.- Keep in mind that the museum opens later, at 11 AM. I recommend purchasing your tickets online to avoid long entrance lines. Yayoi Kusama’s installation is popular and can get very crowded, so it’s a good idea to visit early if you want to avoid the rush.- Large bags need to be stored in lockers. You’ll need to buy a coin for the locker, which you can find in the basement behind the gift shop.- The cafeteria overlooking the sea and the garden are both wonderful. I highly recommend having lunch at the cafeteria. The food is reasonably priced and delicious. There is plenty of seating, so you should easily find a spot.

The atmosphere is great and I think it’s a pretty unique lunch experience.

Absolute must-see on a calm weekend day ! The train ride from Copenhagen to the small town is quick and the museum is reached fast. There was no waiting line and a friendly staff welcoming us. The exhibitions were well curated and multifaced. Calm, interesting and interactive to a certain degree. The sculpture garden is worth a visit itself ! Many paths lead you around the buildings and there are many pieces to discover. When the weather is clear you can see sweden just on the other side of the water. The restaurant has a great choice of dishes, the shop is quite big and we were able to find a nice poster in a huge collection they offer. Extra plus point that they give you a protective cardboard roll for the purchase.It was one of the best museum visits I had so far and would recommend everyone who is even just slightly interested in contemporary art :)

Lund Cathedral

Lutheran church
Sights & Landmarks
Lund Cathedral, an iconic Lutheran church constructed in the 1100s, boasts a unique astronomical clock and weekend organ concerts. The Romanesque cathedral is known for its twin towers and impressive wooden figures that come to life during the striking of In Dulci Jubilo. Finn, a mythological giant who helped with construction, can be found within the crypt along with a comically carved 16th-century well.
A little Swedish wonder. I enjoyed everything in this cathedral: the historical context for its building (the artificial creation of several bishops to gain the autonomy against the archbishop of the Hanseatic league), the sculptures on the stalls, the crypt and its couple of evil giants turned into stones, the permanent clock, etc.
??????? ? — Google review
The cathedral is stunning. Both outside and inside are worthy of taking the time to view and enjoy.There was a lot of talk about the clock and it is indeed a spectacular work of engineering.That said DO NOT plan your visit around it's striking at the top of the hour. Big dud. It was super anticlimactic. At about 3 minutes after the hour an attendant show up, walked around back and then it proceeded to ring for all of about 12 seconds.Everyone (a large gathering) sorta looked at each other chuckled a little and walked away. Lots of virus wasted there... Way over hyped.Everything else about Lund cathedral was amazing.

I've heard good things about the Lund Cathedral, unfortunately when I went, there was a service and guest couldn't go in. The exterior was also under renovation, along with the building next to it. I would not recommend to come during April due to all the events, and also not on a Sunday. The exterior though looked OK, hopefully I can come back in the future when everything's completed.

It was a great experience to see one of the oldest buildings still in use in Sweden and is home to several historic furnishings and works of art! It is in the centre of the city, close to many restaurants and cafés. There is no entrance fee to enter the Cathedral, but you could buy brochures or guided tours!Don't miss the astronomical clock that dates from around 1425. It displays signs of the zodiac and the phases of the moon!

The 900 year old gothic style church is very impressive. They have been renovating the roof, but now the scaffolding is being taken down so you can also enjoy the exterior. Remember to visit the crypt to see the beautifully ornamented pillars.

The best and biggest church in Lund with very nice surroundings. 5 kr for littering a small candle at the church and it’s working fine with Swish. The church is under renovation so the rooftop is taken down now and it looks funny.

I recently visited the Cathedral of Lund, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. This historic landmark is not only an architectural marvel but also a place of profound serenity and spiritual significance.The moment I stepped inside, I was struck by the grandeur of the Romanesque architecture. The high ceilings, intricate stone carvings, and beautiful stained-glass windows create an atmosphere that is both awe-inspiring and peaceful. The astronomical clock, which dates back to the 14th century, is a highlight and a must-see – its detailed craftsmanship and historical significance are truly captivating.The crypt, one of the oldest parts of the cathedral, exudes a mystical charm. Walking through it felt like stepping back in time. The serene atmosphere down there offered a quiet moment for reflection.The cathedral's staff and guides were friendly and knowledgeable, providing interesting insights into the history and significance of this magnificent building. I also appreciated the well-maintained grounds surrounding the cathedral, which provided a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll after my visit.Overall, the Cathedral of Lund is a must-visit if you're in Sweden. It’s not just a sight for history buffs or architecture enthusiasts but a place where anyone can find a moment of peace and reflection.

This is a beautiful and ornate cathedral. It is well kept and very true to its origins. The feel of this cathedral is really uplifting and sacred. It has an amazing clock, which is a true treasure. We were lucky enough to be there when it rang, and the mechanical workings were incredible to see and hear. It was by far my favorite church that we stopped at in the southern part of Sweden (admittedly, we didn't go to every single one). The lady at the front desk was extremely helpful as well and answered all of our various questions very kindly.

During our visit to Lund Cathedral, we were treated to a truly remarkable experience. Consecrated in 1145, the cathedral holds significant historical importance and houses numerous renowned artifacts. The medieval clock and 11th-century crypt are just a couple of the fascinating features within. It comes as no surprise that the cathedral attracts over 700,000 visitors annually. With three stars in the Guide Michelin's Green guide, it stands as a prominent example of Roman architecture. The best part was that entrance to the cathedral was free, and nearby parking spaces were readily available. The friendly church staff added to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, our visit to Lund Cathedral was a treat for the eyes and a captivating journey through history.

A remarkable beautiful cathedral that is almost 1000 old according to the tour info I have been told. It is well maintained over the years, and the design is absolutely spectacular with its magnificent structures. The natural lighting shades the interior beautifully.They have a special clock that does a cute little performance twice a day, one at 3 pm and one at 11 am or 1 pm... couldn't recall clearly.

Ales stenar is a fascinating and secluded attraction in Skane, Sweden. It consists of a 1400-year-old ship-shaped monument constructed from 59 large stones perched on a hill by the sea. This impressive setting is Sweden's largest stone-ship formation and can be reached via bus from Ystad or by foot after visiting Valleberga kyrka. Guided tours are available through Ystad's tourist office.
Truly a sight to see. Monuments are very unique and thought provoking. The scenery over the cliffs are amazing. During off season do not expect any food or facilities open near by.

Very nice day out spot with great Swedish Stonehenge and many other attractions. You can spend time walking in green fields, just be watchful of cow dough 😉. Beach is not so good but sitting on the top and watching endless horizon is amazing experience. Some restaurants serving fresh fish menu and that's one of the best you get anywhere. Last but not least is the IceCream 🍧🍦 and walk.

It is a good place to explore if you have few hours. Please keep in mind that it has a lil bit of climb up hill to reach on top. Easy to do the climb up but if travelling with kids I would not recommend a barnvagn, better to carry them in chest carriers if works for you or kids can walk on there own. Mudy roads will make it difficult to push the barnvagn.. It has paid parking space with is quiet big. They also had toilets which is a plus as well. Also, one or two good café on the way which serve cake, pastry, waffles, shakes, ice creams etc.. Overall a good place to explore nature but do not expect much.

One of the mysterious places in Sweden. Beautiful view over the ocean and coast. I visited first time when i was a small kid but since then I have been there at least 20 times now latest with my own kids. Park down in the village or if you are lucky in the harbour. Some steps to reach the hight of the flat surface where the stones are. During summertime the cows are more interesting then the stones for smaller kids. Look out for the flying people paragliding over head. Finish of with ice-cream and fish in the harbour or why not a waffel in a small cosy café. Definitely recommend this place. Keep a watch out for your kids so they do not run close to the edge when you still are on the way towards the stones. No cost to visit this place.

In January month, I decided to spend the weekend leading up to my birthday at Ales Stenar, a couple of cold winter days with snow and freezing winds that turned out to be an exceptional experience for me and my son of six years old.The day we went uphill to see these ancient monoliths, we were blessed with a fantastic sunny weather, so we also explored the surrounding area that offered an array of stunning vistas and easy walking paths.I definitely recommend a visit to this site because it makes you wonder and admire the mysteries and incredible achievements of ancient civilisations on this part of the Planet.

It is a place full of beauty. Nature and knowledge together. I was thinking about that population that bring the rocks. They created a calendar. I imagine the difficulty because it would be hard even today. Visit ales stenar is be part of science and humans history. Read about before. Reserve time to enjoy the view. During summer you can buy lunch before go up, in winter time almost every restaurant is closed. If you visit in the cold season bring water/coffee and small snack.

Castle

Kronborg Slot, a 16th-century castle that served as the model for Elsinore in Shakespeare's Hamlet, is an impressive Renaissance structure declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its baroque green-copper spires crown a vast complex surrounded by moats and fortifications with Vaubanesque star bastions. Visitors can explore the inner palace's rooms adorned with tapestries and ceiling paintings, and marvel at the viewpoints it offers.
The castle is very interesting and filled with history.I really am thankful for the amazing staff there. They are very good with speaking English and are very welcoming to everyone.Me and my group had a tour guide and he was incredibly funny and interesting. He told us a lot of things I didn’t know about the castles history.

A good museum but it felt like it could be great.The phone-based tour seemed incomplete and didn't flow well; also three of the four "tracks" were only in Danish (perhaps it's very new?).The live action guides were okay but also could have been more engaging with adults.The "cafe" was disappointing.

Kronborg Castle is a treasure, transporting visitors back in time with its rich history and breathtaking architecture.

The castle is worth visiting even without paying to go inside (the ticket is kinda pricey, 14€ per person). The place looks wonderful, and while resting on the beach we even sighted a wild seal and a harbour porpoise!Around the castle there are lots of workshop and art galleries which is nice as it feels like local artists really have a way to express themselves and get the possibility to expose their work.The little gift shop is also a bit pricey but it has funny little Hamlet-themed quirks.Too bad they didn't write "to be or not to baby" on the baby onesie 😆

Kronborg Castle, HelsingørDay trip time, although we wanted to drive further but got prevented!However the stop in Helsingør was totally worth it, about 50 minutes from our place in Copenhagen, totally worth the drive!Kronborg is a castle and stronghold in the town of Helsingør, Denmark. Immortalized as Elsinore in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, Kronborg is one of the most important Renaissance castles in Northern Europe. It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000. (Source @wikipedia)A 17th century castle build by the Frederic the 2nd, for his wife Queen Sophie of Mecklenburg(he was 38 , she was 15), he was infatuated by his wife he build her the dream castle so to speak!Little anecdote, looking at the writings inside the Church/Chapel it was all in German, after I inquired about that, seems in their days the Nobility in Denmark would converse in German! Interesting!Lovely walk around the whole area, impressive!Enjoy!#thetourist #alifetimetrip#copenhagen #denmark #helsingør #kronborgcastle

Heerlijk strand met zacht zand, mooi uitzicht en genoeg plek zelfs als het druk is. Er zijn hier en daar wat strandtentjes en er zijn zelfs wc's en douches aanwezig.(Volgens de locals is het zand van betere kwaliteit als dat van het strand van hawaii).Aan het begin van het strand kan je heerlijk op de rotsen zitten en verderop kan je zeer fijn volleyballen of voetballen met de geplaatste netten en goals.Het enigste nadeel is dat er later op de dag vaak veel kwallen aanspoelen, maar als je hier voor uitkijkt dan is het een heerlijk strand!(Translated by Google)Lovely beach with soft sand, beautiful view and enough space even when it is busy.

The beach got a little crowded around 4pm-5pm (after work). These caused long queue to the only snackbar/kiosk nearby.

A huuuge shopping center 🏬 might say it’s almost a signature of Sweden, have never met any Swede who never heard about it... yet 😅 It has kind of everything you might look for… and at least doubled you never thought of… or didn’t even know existed 🥴I will praise you if you can visit and exit empty handed 😉Today I was mostly looking for motorhome stuff 🚐… and some yummies 😋 and the pics I took are only a small selection of all they sell. I love this store!It’s easy to visit by motorhome and caravan as well, there’s a special parking, spacious enough to park easy and convenient 🅿️😊👍Selection: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5Cleanliness: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5Crowding: 😬😬😬😬😬/5Affordability: 💰💰💰💰/5AMEX 💳: yes 👍Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️➕/5

Easily my favorite outlet store in Sweden. Super big store with a lot of different products at lower prices. Not recommended for me to travel here often because it gets expensive due to cheap prices. 😅It has a cafe, restaurants and everything one needs to spend the entire day in the store.

Love this place!!! Pretty much has everything. Could easily spend a couple of hours shopping in here. Loads of places to eat and be merry. The television show is great too!

Where to start?? I will cover what I haven't seen in other reviews1. Be there early. Preferably on a week day where hopefully the crowd will be less. We visited on a Tuesday from 3pm to 6pm and it was still crowded2. Have a Swedish coin with you for the trolley. You can't do without a trolley.3. Prepare to spend about 6 hours if that is your first time.4. There was dinning inside, we ate at an buffet restaurant beside the Gekas, but we suspect the food would have been cheaper inside the Gekas. Like ikea dinning5. There are other shops, outside and around Gekas. I.e outlet stores apart from Gekas. I visited only Panduro because I like arts and craft pieces. Prices were cheap but not a lot of options like a real panduro. Those stores might be worth visiting, which means an additional time apart from the 6hrs inside Gekas6. There Is a hotel about 200metres from Gekas. Might be worth looking into spending the night as opposed to making it a day trip. One day just doenst seem enough to come all the way especially if it is your first time.

This is a Swedish institution! It is very big and it takes many hours to walk around here and look at goods!Found asome cheap offersbut also many more expensive ones! Everything you can think of is here! People travel from far away to shop here! I dont understand that equation! Some things are cheap, but I don't see a cost saving to drive 30-40 miles, which in itself costs a lot too!Lots of people and sometimes chaotic when you have to keep track of the shopping cart and your company and cruise around between hundreds of other shopping carts!Efficient checkout lines! lots of places to eat, both inside the department store itself, and outside in connection to the building!

A lot of space, nice stuff to buy, and the sports- cafe! Good salads and amazing cupcakes! No ps5 for sale, but other than that, a cool place to visit for sure. There’s a camping parking spot and big lots. No worries
Kari A — Google review
Lack of investment. Missed opportunities, unpolished processes. It was really hard to find a parking spot and the parking guards were not helping, cars were just driving circles. Large queues for the toilets is one of the trademarks of the place, no matter where you go. Really slow people flow at the main entrance. Their own brands cost fair money and are pretty decent. They still underestimate how much money they lose because of bad service, though they think they earn enough.

One big store where you can get almost everything. From food, toys, makeup, clothes and even plants. So if you like shopping and a lot of people in one place, this is perfect for you. Low prices. You can shop all day and get food inside the store while your cart is placed outside the cafe (inside the store). The store is in the midle of nowhere, so it's a long drive... But the sorrounding town of Ullared has hotels and restaurants. Unike shopping experience...

Very crowded place could move a meter without stopping and trying to get a bite to eat is a struggle inside. Other than that it's a great place to save tons of money. Specially shopping for the holidays. There's everything you need or want.

After many years, I finally went to Ullared and i could say that it was hard. It's huge and really easy to get lost so make sure that at the entrance you take a map so you don't waste your time. This is not a place where i would go often, I don't like that much of a crowded place. Make sure you need to put a list and then go shopping, lots of things have got discounted prices from clothes to normal everyday stuff.

Gothenburg Botanical Garden is a large botanical garden in the heart of Gothenburg, Sweden. With over 16,000 different species of plants, it's one of Scandinavias most popular attractions. The gardens offer a range of paths and greenhouses which are perfect to visit all year round.
Botaniska Trädgården i Göteborg. It's a botanical garden in Gothenburg with unique trees, flowers, birds, hills, waterfall, lake, greenhouse and an organic cafe. I had to wear a flower tiara to feel more in nature. :PIt's one of the best experience I've had in Gothenburg, Sweden. I just love this place. Best part is, the entry is absolutely free for everyone. :DThe area in total is 430 acres, of which most constitutes a nature reserve including the arboretum and here grow around 12,000 different species and cultivars in various parts of it. In the Greenhouses you will find about 4,000 various species and cultivars, including some 1,500 orchids, a remarkable travertine department and the rare Eastern Island Tree.

A beautiful garden with no entry fee just a suggested donation. We spent a good few hours exploring the gardens and could easily have spent longer. The gardens are well attended too and there was so sign of littering or damage, the toilets too were spotless. Some of the areas would not be suitable for those with mobility issues but there are areas that are accessible to all. We never felt that the gardens were overcrowded and would certainly recommend a visit if you're in Gothenburg.

Absolutely beautiful! A lot of different kinds of trees and plants and the garden was much bigger than I expected. Since the main path is closed, it’s not very accessible right now. For me that was fine! Enjoyed my walk 🥰

One of the best botanical gardens I must say. It's very vast and peaceful. Have hundreds of plant varieties from different countries. Also this place is hardly crowded at any season so one can have ample amount of time exploring the garden. Toilets are installed at the entrance gate which are easy t access.

I recently visited Gothenburg Botanical Garden during the second week of April, and its serene beauty blew me away. The entrance greeted me with various flowers, although some were still waiting to bloom. The well-designed layout and upcoming renovations to the greenhouse promised an even better experience in the future.There is a shop near the entrance to buy souvenirs, seeds, and plants.The free entry with an option to donate 30 SEK was a nice touch.The peaceful environment, well-maintained pathways, and lush greenery made for a delightful stroll. The attention to detail in the garden's design and maintenance was evident.I can't wait to witness the garden in full bloom during the peak season.

This is one of my favorite places in Gothenburg. I will for sure come back when it's summer time. They have different varieties of plants and flowers. You will be amazed how well maintained and well cared the plants are. You will enjoy reading the names of the plants and flowers and appreciate their beauty. It's such a big place so it's easy to spend whole day here. There's a trail that you can follow in the forest. We actually saw a red squirrel when we were here. It's very quite and such a relaxing place to take a short or long walk. They have a playground for your children as well. Such a perfect place for a Sunday picnic for the whole family. They also have a restaurant if you don't feel having a picnic here. You can also buy flowers and plants in the shop or they call it nursery. I actually bought different colors of tulips. This is one of the few places in Gothenburg that you shouldn't miss.
Ela C — Google review
One of the gems of Göteborg. Rarely is this place overly crowded which makes it the perfect place to escape to.The gardens themselves are beautiful and the whole place has a relaxing and calm vibe.Tip: check out the viewing spot towards the back of the gardens. It's a little bit of a climb but it will give you phenomenal views over the west of the city.Tip #2: Combine your visit with a trip to Slottskogen across the road. Especially if you have kids, as you can take them to the petting zoo and playground. Making this double combo a very cheap but memorable day out.

Perfect stay for family, singles, seniors, etc. When you come through the gate you find the toilets on the right side and the information and shop on the left. In the shop you can buy ice cream (this is a first stop for parents with kids). The garden ist full with lovely flowers and interesting and rare trees, like the japanese cake tree.You can take your time and take the best walk of your life there. The air smells unbelievably good - even my kids were surprised. There are a lot of areas to rest and eat. A small restaurant is also in the garden (there are toilets too).

Probably one of the best botanical gardens I have seen in Europe. It is a public place and completely free. Since it is more or less a park with only one building to visit, it lacks a section for tropical plants. But It is very well preserved and has a high variety.

Lovely little restaurant here in the botanical guarden. A bit pricey though, so keep that in mind. However, you are of course paying for more than just the food. It is a lovely experience to be able to sit outside in such an environment. Furthermore, the food was also very tasty with generous portions. Lovely staff as well!

Science museum
Museums
The Universeum science museum offers an interesting range of exhibits on a variety of scientific topics. It is a great place for kids to learn about the world around them, with touch tanks and exhibits that are easy to understand. The largest attraction is the Ocean Zone, which has an immense ocean tank populated by sharks and tropical species. There's also an indoor tropical rainforest, where you can spot colourful birds, sloths and monkeys on the branches above.
A big place with 6 floors of things to do for both adults and children. You need to buy your ticket in advance as it’s time specific entrance ticketing system. There’s an aquarium here, and many other things like a rain forest area, scientific games, AI related activities, planetarium, and many more.
Nader H — Google review
Amazing, I loved this place.Although it is a bit expensive the aquarium, reptile zone and natural habitat were amazing but the science and space zones were very underwhelming.As aquariums go, this aquarium was good with different fish and a "aquarium tunnel", the reptile zone was good but small.The habitat was the best part of the universeum once you enter it you will be in this tropical environment with birds roaming around freely, and fish swimming in a pond like environment, from small piranhas to crocodiles and giant cat fish etc.As for the space and health/chemistry they were underwhelming at best, the space one was just facts on a wall and i think the space part is only for kids, as for the health part also mostly for kids but more interactive, adults can enjoy some aspects of this as for the different mental exercises and fun challenges.Overall I think it was an interesting place to spend 2-3 hours.

Really well laid out - the rainforest attraction winds all the way down the 5 accessible floors, with the outer areas to that serving homage and delight in various items such as space, underwater features and the Visilab which was the highlight of the entire museum.It’s crown jewel for me was a huge sphere that you could change to replicate any of the planets on our solar system and walk round them.Truly a unique take on visioning our planet and neighbouring ones, also very much loved the space Cinema with some really expansive shirt films.Great way to spend half a day. Rain forest was beautiful too, rope bridges and Spiral stair cases were a great touch.

What a nice museum! The dome shows are of course very nice but the rest of the museum is really worth going whether you have kids or not. I couldn’t believe the place was actually this big with so many animals also around. Being in the museum you can also enjoy a nice restaurant or coffee on a balcony quite high up.The price to get in is a bit high but I would really say it’s worth it.

Be aware of time when arriving by car. Part of the area is in construction and you may find traffic or would need to find a parking spot.Try to book in advance.The museum is really worth it.

I'd give this place fours stars just because when I visited the area focused on the scandinavian ecosystem was under renovation. This is a great science museum mostly for kids, although adults also can have a fun time here. The main part is probably the rain forest and my favorite animal was the sloth, so cute. In the aquarium you can fin lost of sharks. A great option to visit during winter.

Universeum is a lovely place for the whole family. A fun place both for people that are interested in animals and science. But also a great place for small kids to play.My kids are a bit too small and high energy to enjoy the many great aquariums at Universeum but they do hold themselves at the snakes, maybe it's a bit more exciting than fish.What my kids love and why we have yearly pass for the whole family is the science park upstairs with both the theme body and space. But foremost the playground at the bottom floor. It's perfect for their age 2-3 y/o.Nice little cafe and a shop with too much fun stuff for the kids so we always have to drag out the kids. There is also small picnic areas upstairs with microwave that you can sit down in-between visiting the science part and the playground.A overall great place to visit in downtown Gothenburg.Kind of pricey but if you're visiting more than once a year it's a good price on a yearly pass.

A very interesting science museum/mini ZOO/Aquarium. But mostly for Swedes rather than tourists. The entrance fee for students is a bit higher, but there are plenty of animals and plants to look at. I especially appreciate the nice lights for taking pictures and the very clean glass, you rarely see that. Also interesting is the 3D cinema, which is on the top floor where you start the tour. Just a shame it's all in testimony again. Online tickets work out cheaper.

Quite big science and nature museum. 7 floors. We tried the Wisedom too. It’s quite fun to see the 3D movie in a dom. But it’s really long queue at the restaurant so we waited very long time to get food. Also the big forest area is very warm and humid. I feel hard to breathe there. It’s good visit for kids but there are a lot to improve too

Visiting Universeum was a truly wonderful experience, seamlessly blending fun and knowledge into an unforgettable adventure. Divided into two distinct parts, the museum offers a comprehensive exploration of both education and entertainment.The first part of Universeum is dedicated to education with a twist of fun. Here, visitors are immersed in interactive exhibits and hands-on activities that make learning engaging and enjoyable. From fascinating displays on science and technology to thought-provoking exhibits on history and culture, there's something to captivate curious minds of all ages. The dynamic and innovative approach to education ensures that visitors not only absorb knowledge but also have a blast doing so.The second part of Universeum transports visitors into a breathtakingly beautiful human-made natural environment. Here, lush greenery, winding pathways, and cascading waterfalls create a serene oasis for birds and other creatures to thrive. As visitors wander through this enchanting landscape, they have the opportunity to observe a diverse array of wildlife up close, fostering a deeper appreciation for the wonders of the natural world.Additionally, Universeum boasts an impressive aquarium that further enhances the immersive experience. From colorful coral reefs teeming with exotic fish to majestic sharks gliding gracefully through the water, the aquarium offers a mesmerizing glimpse into life beneath the waves.Overall, a visit to Universeum is a journey of discovery and delight, where fun and knowledge intersect in perfect harmony. Whether you're a science enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply seeking a day of family fun, Universeum offers an enriching and unforgettable experience for all.

If it wasn’t so crowded, I do think that this museum is overall well designed and laid out. As with most places with animals in captivity, it’s difficult to grapple with on one hand being excited to see a shark from below up close, but then on the other hand feel it probably doesn’t thrive on confinement. But that’s the nature of these establishments. Staff are nice and there are a lot of interactive activities and learning sessions. They need to put up a sign to take off your shoes in the small children’s soft play area for tourists incapable of picking up on major visual cues like say, a huge pile of shoes by the entrance😆 it leaves the area rather damp on rainy days.

Visiting Universeum was a delight for our family! This interactive science center is a treasure trove of knowledge and fun, perfect for children of all ages. The exhibits are designed to be engaging and educational, with a hands-on approach that truly brings learning to life.One of the standout features of Universeum is its multilingual environment. Information is available in English, Swedish, and several other languages, making it accessible to a diverse audience. This inclusivity ensures that all visitors can fully enjoy and benefit from the experience.Our kids were captivated by the myriad of activities and exhibits, mostly the jungle ecosystem with large trees and simulated humidity. They asked countless questions, and we were impressed by the staff's expertise and patience. The staff members were incredibly knowledgeable and went out of their way to answer the kids' queries, fostering a deeper understanding and curiosity in the little ones.The interactive learning opportunities at Universeum are unparalleled. From exploring the rainforest and underwater worlds to experimenting with technology and physics, there’s something for every interest. The ability to touch, feel, and interact with exhibits makes the learning process both fun and memorable.In conclusion, Universeum is a must-visit destination for families looking to combine fun with education. The interactive exhibits, knowledgeable staff, and multilingual support make it a fantastic place to spend the day. We left with a wealth of new knowledge and a promise to return. Highly recommended!

From exploring the depths of the ocean in the impressive aquarium to climbing through a rainforest teeming with exotic creatures, there's something to captivate every young mind. The hands-on experiments and engaging displays make science exciting and accessible.Don't miss the opportunity to watch fascinating shows and demonstrations that will leave kids (and adults) amazed. With its diverse range of activities, Universeum guarantees a day filled with wonder and discovery. It's a place where learning becomes an adventure!

I really like this place. It's fun for both kids and adults too. Definitely have to check out the tropical forest. Warning: it's hot and humid, might be a bit uncomfortable so dress accordingly

Really cool place with lots of interactive exhibits and interesting facts. We brought our 1 year old and appreciated that the place was stroller friendly. We visited at 4.30pm on a Sunday, and had to rush to complete everything as it closes at 6pm. Will recommend to schedule at least 2.5h for it.

The right place to spend half of the day or the day of you keep up with the energy. There are 6-7 floors with different type of environments to see. I liked the aquarium, the rain forest, the reptiles and the matrix the most. In that order. It’s well maintained with easy accessibility and a lot of information around. I highly recommend it! It’s perfect to visit with friends, family or by yourself. Price is ok.

One of the most beautiful museums i’ve seen. Unfortunately we haven’t had enough time to see everything but it is definitely recommended to spend 2-3 hours because it is huge and full of interactive things that you can do.

I had the chance to visit Universeum recently and it was amazing. We first started with a 3D show about stars and the universe at the top level. From the top level to the bottom you can see different environments from arctic to oceanic and also rainforest within a pathway. Like a very nice short trip to visit different universes with your friends and family. If you are in Gothenburg make sure to visit this place.

An absolute must for all curious people living in and going through Gothenburg. So well done and attractive, very lively and even on a rainy day it wasn't crowded. Kids loved it and there is stuff for all ages (even below 3)

Considering we were travelling in the area during off-season, on weekday time which meant that a lot of places, like the museum, were closed, they were really helpful in finding what to do: we got maps and recommendations.

(Translated by Google) The historical center of the city. The modernity is mainly reminded of cars) Beautiful, interesting, unusual, atmospheric))) Frozen time. But a very small piece. Unfortunately, the museum was closed, although it should be working. But everything else was wonderful... quiet, calm, relaxing. (Ferries, a sea of ducks on the banks of the river, cannons sprinkled with snow, shops, cafes, parking spaces, friendly residents)...(Original)Історичний центр міста. Про сучасність нагадують в основному авто) Гарно, цікаво, незвично, атмосферно))) Завмерший час. Але дуже маленький шматок. На жаль, музей був зачинений, хоча повинен працювати. Зате все інше було чудово... тихо, спокійно, релакс. (Пороми, море качок на березі річки, присипані снігом гармати, магазинчики, кафешки, місця для стоянок авто, привітні жителі)...

(Translated by Google) Last Friday, three pensioners from Vestfold stopped by Roald Amundsen's birthplace in Borge. A warm, comfortable, cozy and very knowledgeable lady, Mrs Almås, showed us around and made the day very successful for us. Mrs Almås taught us a fantastic amount and we would just like to say thank you very much.Best regards Stig Lundsør(Original)Sist fredag svingte tre pensjonister fra Vestfold in til Roald Amundsens fødested i Borge. En lun, behagelig, koselig og meget kunnskapsrik dame, fru Almås, viste oss rundt og gjorde dagen meget vellykket for oss. Fru Almås lærte oss fantastisk mye og vi vil gjerne bare si tusen, tusen takk.Beste hisen Stig Lundsør

(Translated by Google) Very beautifully located and preserved historic district. There are restaurants at "Norwegian prices" and a few shops. We didn't look at the museum.(Original)Sehr schön gelegener und erhaltener historischer Stadtteil. Es gibt Gastronomie zu "norwegischen Preisen' und ein paar wenige Geschäfte. Das Museum haben wir uns nicht angeschaut.
