Water & Amusem*nt Parks
Futuroscope is a cutting-edge theme park featuring state-of-the-art 3D and 4D cinemas, motion simulators, and high-tech multimedia attractions. One of its newest attractions, Tornado Hunters, promises an exhilarating experience with a tornado simulation on a massive circular screen with special effects. Visitors can also embark on space training at Objective Mars or take flight in Extraordinary Travel. For younger guests, Futuropolis offers an interactive play area.
Last time, we went on a weekday (Friday out of holidays), and it was perfect! Apparently there were approx 2000 people, waiting time was never more than 5 min. Some attractions open a liter later during the day, but early enough to enjoy the whole park without problem.

Great place for family most of attractions are for kids at least 120cm, so pay attention for heights of your little ones.We went in February unfortunately weather was a bit cold but the great advantage, we entered directly to attractions, NO waiting lines.It’s was a bit annoying that most of attractions are virtually so at some point I felt dizzy 😵💫Their final fountain show is just AMAZING, I had never seen something similar!

Really great park.Most of the things are good for all ages, excluding the Rollercoaster and the dance with the Robot.The restaurant was nice and cheap.Even with rain it is possible to have a nice day there.

One of the best 4D experience my family and I have ever tried. Very futuristic and full of curiosity. You will never expectbwhats coming. Do not miss out the Tornado Chaser ride and the robot dance. It's awesome!

The park had good attractions but we were disappointed. We expected more, expected a bigger park.. we were told we’d need 2 days but 1 day is enough.
Akane O — Google review
A great park that's unlike any other I've been to. The attractions are varied and very exciting plus we really enjoyed the magic show. A strange thing is that some of the restaurants close after lunch and don't reopen until 7pm, which I found odd/frustrating for a theme park. I'm still rating 5* because I think the afternoon closure is a cultural thing.

We loved it... we took a fast pass for 5 attractions and it saved us a lot of time. If you want to do the Danse with robot, do the double not the tripple seat version as the double seat robot is much much more intense.

Perfect Day out with our teenage son. We visited on a non peak day, so queues were very low and could almost walk on most attractions. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Always a pleasure to visit, and the new Aquascope attraction is taking shape, looks like it will be awesome once opened.

Various 4D experiences , suitable for kids(7-year old and above) and adults. Winter time maybe no need express pass, summer time …not sure how long you have to queue for the popular one.My favorite is “l’extraordinaire voyage” and my son’s favorite is “Les machines à voyager dans le temps».
Pinky L — Google review
A very dated theme park with only a single rollercoaster ride. All the rest of the rides are video / simulator type rides. There are a few shows which were enjoyable. The queues went down quickly on most rides.It's no Alton Towers so if you're expecting an experience like that then you'll probably be disappointed. It's still a nice day out though.
Wayne C — Google review
I went there for 2 days great experience gold pass for 99£ a day per person is a bit too much but you literally skip the hole queue of 1h everywhere there is a big arcade with everything you could imagine it was soo great. At 5mn there is zero gravity qn indoor skydiving actyvity it is amazing image of it below.

First visit at futuroscope, really nice.

Nature & Parks
The Château de Villandry is a restored Renaissance palace situated near the Cher River. It boasts of formal gardens with a maze and temporary art exhibitions. Visitors can purchase tickets to either explore the castle or just the garden, but both options offer an exquisite experience. The interior of the castle is tastefully decorated, while the gardens are absolutely stunning and a "Must See". Even in winter, visitors can enjoy exceptional views from different angles.
A very nice chateau. You can either buy the ticket for the castle + garden or just the garden. But just the view over the gardens from the castletower is well worth it. The Castle Interieur is also quite nice and is not so over the top, that you can actually imagine people were living here. The Garden is absolutely astonishing and a "Must See".
Fabian — Google review
A really lovely chateau that was a fun stop on the trip. It's smaller than some of the more popular chateaux but well kept and you can see quite a bit of the property. I loved seeing family pictures set out and to get a feel of their lives. The gardens are, of course, the best and are worth a stop just for that alone. There's a room in there upstairs that is a gallery of photos of the grounds and gardeners that is really lovely. The family art collection is on display and while there isn't anything in there I liked, it certainly was interesting!

Stunning chateau- the interior and history were fascinating as were the ornate and carefully manicured gardens. Would absolutely recommend. Friendly staff greeted us both coming in and leaving. Lovely experience overall. Well maintained parking near tourist centre, picnic tables available just in back over the bridge to a small river.

We visited Villandry on New Year's Eve 2021. The chateau was decorated for the Christmas and New Year which made for a spectacular visit. Although the gardens were in winter mode, we admired the extent and layouts of the various elements.

What an amazing garden!I’m not sure I ever went to Versailles, but I sure saw a lot of castles, and this is more like a palace (on my definition of castle 😅, well on what I’m used to in Portugal and UK) but it is lovely!I had a great time seeing the castle and strolling through the garden.I didn’t get an audio guide but I listened a bit to the French tour, and even though I can’t speak French, I understood enough to say, if you get on time of a tour, take it ☺️.The tour is only on the castle, but the guide was funny and you could she she loved her job ☺️This place is really worth a visit, and I need more vacation days to see all the castles 🥰

We visited both the castle and the gardens. Especially the gardens were worth a visit for us. Very impressive how they made all the gardens and the vegetable garden is truly magnificent! We enjoyed our visited and were done in aprox 1.5 hour. Full price (both places) was 13€

There are most interesting castles to see in this region. This one has very pretty gardens but besides that no special history and the castle itself is underwhelming compared to others.Staff were very friendly though and the castle remains owned by a family who takes good care of it, which is special.No need to buy tickets in advance, there was no wait. They offer a just garden option without castle and I would recommend this. Gardens are much nicer than the castle

Fun place, tons of fun rooms and the gardens outside are loaded, even in the winter it was fun to see the whole layout. Easy to walk around and tons of viewpoints with different angles for the gardens.

This chateau has one of the most beautiful and pleasant smelling gardens in Loire Valley! It's well kept and super organized how they rotate the vegetations each season! I also like that there are explanations for everything in French and English. You can buy tickets just to visit the garden itself. The chateau is ok but u can climb to the roof top to get an aerial view of the garden and there are some interesting private art collections by the owner. Good place to bring kids. They would enjoy the maze.

Villandry Castle's garden is a true paradise for flower and garden enthusiasts. It's like stepping into a living painting, with beautifully manicured beds and elegant landscaping. The different sections offer diverse themes and styles, from classic French gardens to charming herb gardens. The meticulously pruned shrubs and geometric patterns add an air of elegance and precision. The garden's terraces provide breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Villandry's garden is a perfect place to stroll, relax, and admire the natural beauty. Highly recommended if you're in the area!

An incredible place to visit. The best chateau in the area. We visited both the house and gardens. In the house there was plenty to see and learn, with good information on the leaflets you are given about each room and it's history. But the gardens are the real gem here. They are amazing. Lots of different gardens to see and explore so plenty to do. The surrounding area is stunning too. Really easy to find, free parking as well and a very reasonable price for entry.

So many Chateaux open to the public, but this is one not to miss. The gardens are incredible and the care and upkeep of the grounds just fab. There are amazing geometric patterns in the hedging, peaceful lakes with fountains, kitchen gardens, a maze for the kids, and great explanations of how they conserve water and keep this amazing garden in pristine condition.

Château de Villandry is a gem! Don't miss the gardens and the exclusive top-of-the-castle lookout – it's a treat! Explore rooms, soak in history, and catch those garden vibes. Must-visit for garden enthusiasts.Well worth doing the castle tour instead of just the gardens as well if you have time

Impressive castle even I went with the rain still really good view. Big and natural garden can walk around.

The garden of this castle are breathtaking. The garden visit is worth the ticket cost.This concept of garden mix of flowers and vegetable is really great. This castle that was confiscated during the French Revolution was then acquired by Emperor Napoleon for his brother. In 1906 was acquired by Carvallo family thus is still owning it. Since the beginning the family invested lot of money to create and maintain these amazing gardens.

Castle

The Château de Chenonceau is a stunning 16th-century castle that spans over the river Cher. It houses an impressive collection of Old Master paintings and tapestries. Widely regarded as the most romantic of all Loire chateaux, it boasts beautiful furnishings inside and well-kept gardens even in winter. Nearby wine cellars produce excellent wines, which can be toured, along with kayak tours during summer providing exceptional views under the arches beneath the castle.
Without the slightest exaggeration, this place is one of the most beautiful places I have visited. The castle is beautiful and with such a great historical load, it is incredible to be able to be in the same places where the great ladies of France once lived. The gardens are wonderful, you just don't know what to see first.
Sasha — Google review
One if not THE most beautiful castle along the Loire! It is simple, without a lot of “fuzz” yet absolutely stunning. The fresh flowers and bouquets in almost all of the rooms provides a feeling of homeliness, as if someone would still be living there. The parks and gardens are beautiful and well maintained. The woods around it invite to beautiful walks. The labyrinth is fun for kids and adults alike. There’s even a place with donkeys, goats and chicken.A tour inside the castle takes about 1-1 1/2 hour. There are lots of small stairways. It is not suitable for prams or wheelchairs.As it is a fairly small castle and people cross paths especially on the stairs, the number of visitors at a time is restricted. You can book your visits on advance online.Parking is free.

It is a beautiful place to visit, but there needs to be more effort on explanation of its historical importance. Only the expansion that Catherine De Medici did seems to be well documented. The grounds were lovely, and we particularly enjoyed their guard cat and the long walk up the drive to the Chateau itself.

Super nice from the outside! Nothing much from inside! But most importantly make sure you visit it from the other side of the river (the side opposite to the main entrance) it’s beautiful and there’s a a forest! You get to see a beautiful angle of the beautiful castle!

My favourite castle in the Loire valley, must see for anyone in the area! It is completely unique in style and shape, and boasts incredibly interesting history. Specifically about the women who lived here.The gardens are also beautiful and there is even a mini farm with donkeys and goats that is bound to delight anyone, but especially children.

Beautiful castle over the river Cher. Almost like a fairy tale castle. Nicely furnished inside. The Gardens are neat as well, even in the winter. Wines are made nearby, you can go into those cellars, pretty good too, we got several bottles. Kayak tours can be done in the summer and you can go under the arches beneath the castle and get some killer views. The main gallery was gorgeous. The castle doesn’t feel medieval, it’s just amazing.

Must see castle. The architecture, interior design and history are worth it and super interesting. The paper guide is well detailed and informative. However, I found that the visit of the rest of the grounds was a bit of an afterthought: not a lot of information on the gardens or the farm. Also, it is a really popular spot so come early to avoid crowds. Overall, would visit again.

As a family we really enjoyed spending more than 5h at the domain, every corner of the domain surprised us in a pleasant way. At the chateau domain we visited the beautiful gardens, groceries and medicinal gardens, the farm, the labyrinth. And if you are like us, spending many hours here, then be assured that there is a restaurant where you have lunch or just some coffee or ice cream.The chateau is very beautiful in the exterior, but also at the interior.This chateau is a must to visit if you are nearby!
Damoc C — Google review
Such a large chateau with many angles to look at! There’s a lot of exhibitions outside of the chateau which are worth exploring too. I felt the inside of the chateau to be too “staged” with the hanging props. Then again, personal opinion. Loved the readings in the castle which offered us many insights into its history.The gardens are beautiful and we wished we had more time to explore the whole estate. There was a wine cellar and carriage exhibitions outside of the main chateau building.Side note I found it so awesome how the donkey photos were taken so beautifully.

It was called the most beautiful castle in France. It is so beautiful.it was build around water. There are a few huge gardens. We were there in the mid October. It was beautiful fall view.

Beautiful tapestries, garden, history and galleria.Getting the Audio Guide is the best and it makes the tour more exciting when listening to the explanation.Not recommended for baby stroller as there is stairs way going to the basem*nt kitchen as well as going up to 2nd floors !Overall its worth Euro 19.50 with audio guide and easy to use too !

What a lovely, relaxing & interesting way to spend 3 hours exploring some French history. Great value for money to enjoy both the Chateau & the gardens. At this time of year the volume of visitors was just the right amount of flow, to not be rushed, but would imagine it would be a lot busier & crowded in the peak summer holiday months. The audio guide was worth the extra euros to understand centuries of chateau ownership. A delight 😊

One of most Beautiful Chateaus in Loire Valley! Also knows as “Ladies Castle” due to its historic association with most influential women. The castle is beautifully decorated for the festivities and lovely music filling the air and flowing down River Cher. Absolutely gem of a place. Mesmerized by grandeur. The tickets at 15.5 euros per person are tad bit expensive but then can’t complain!

This is a favorite French château, due to its unique architecture, history, and functioning farm. The building stretches over and across a river, effectively being a castle on a bridge. The gardens are nicely kept, the kitchens allow for a look at historical cooking techniques, and the history of its ownership by wives and mistresses all make this place a unique treasure. A must-see for any Loire Valley chateau trip.

Gorgeous building and grounds but way to busy inside the chàteaux to even move. I think alloted time slots would work better as we were like sardines trying to manoeuvre around the place. I found it quite stressful and claustrophobic.

Beautiful drive and location. Learned this castle was spared destruction during the revolution as it's rulers had always treated the subjects with kindness and compassion.

Château de Chenonceau isBeautiful Castle with amazing history. Definitely give yourself plenty of time to walk through all the rooms .It would be beneficial to implement a one-way walking route, clearly indicated by arrows, to ensure a smooth and orderly flow of visitors. This would mitigate potential clashes between individuals.Gardens are greatly designed and a great place to relax. 🌿🌸Flowers in Château de Chenonceau are beautifully designed and so colorful.Having lockers is an excellent idea for tourists arriving by train with luggage. Definitely that service making the tour more pleasant. Thank you.

ZooParc de Beauval is a conservation-focused zoo with an extensive breeding program for endangered species. The zoo houses a variety of exotic animals such as big cats, pandas, primates and manatees. Visitors can enjoy free Wi-Fi and take in scenic city views while staying at the nearby 5min du Zoo de Beauval accommodation in Saint-Aignan. The highlight of the experience includes watching breathtaking bird shows and attending special feeding sessions of the big cats.

Really big with a huge range of animals and exhibits so prepare for lots of walking. Can get busy so plan for a full day, closes at 20.00 but most have left by 18.00 so you get a good couple of hours to revisit your favourites close up.Otherwise, a 2 day visit is great value.Food and drink of good quality, and fair pricing.Only negative was that one zone (the one with the dome) has almost no translations to English like in the other areas.

I was blown away by the number of different species and the variety of animals at this zoo.

One of the best zoos I have seen. The sheer amount of animals they have is impressive. We spent more than six hours there and have barely seen all animals. There is a cable car running from on side of the zoo to the other that gives you a good view and helps getting from one side to the other. The compounds of the animals seem to be larger than in other zoos (that are often within a city) and some animals seem to be more active. The glass dome with the jungle inside is especially impressive due to its size. Highly recommended. You should at least spend 5-6 h here.

Great zoo divided to 3 sections: Asia, regular zoo. Africa there is also a some for see and amphibious animals and a birds area. There is a lot of restaurants over there, unlike the entrance that were without any queues all restaurants that we saw had long queues between 11 to 14. There is a cable-train (free) that connects both zoo end points. Very nice and clean and well organized zoo

Château de Chambord is a vast, 16th-century palace that boasts multiple towers and cupolas, surrounded by a moat. The castle's history includes the cultivation of Burgundy grapes brought by Francois in 1519 and vineyards found less than a kilometre away on the Ormetrou farm until the beginning of the 20th century. The chateau has recently begun replanting its own vines and produces wine once again.
AMAZING!!! so worth going there! We loved every minute, this is the castle that The Beauty and the Beast movie was made after. Even the clock is there. It wasn't crowded and everyone was super nice and attentive. Parking was easy and it's close to the entrance. You can take as many pics as you like and they have guides in every language. The souvenir shop is very well stocked as well.

This is the best castle I've seen in the Loire valley. It is huge and the architecture is very complex, like its spiraling main staircase. There is a lot to see, and the castle also has some art displays. It's actually a big site with a garden, church, village, etc. The only downside is that the parking lot is €6 (other castles don't make visitors pay parking) but given the size of the site, I suppose it goes toward its preservation. A must see!

Very amazing building and grounds in a beautiful setting. The place is huge so you could spend all day there. We visited the castle and gardens. The castle was quite amazing with lots to see and learn about. Most of the castle is open to explore so there is plenty to see. The gardens were a bit disappointing however, not a lot of actual garden to see and nothing too spectacular either.

The castle is lovely, worth the price. Lots of different rooms to see and lovely gardens around it, we spent about 2,5 hours viewing the castle but it felt like 30 minutes. Also the view from the roof of the castle is amazing. If you going to stay locally, make sure you visit this beautiful place.

Château magnifique qu’on a eu plaisir à redécouvrir et faire découvrir à notre fils de 3 ans qui a adoré.Nous avons eu la chance de faire la visite sous un grand soleil avec peu de monde (arrivée à l’ouverture).C’est un château à ne pas manquer. ✨(Translated by Google)Magnificent castle that we had the pleasure of rediscovering and introducing to our 3 year old son who loved it.We were lucky enough to visit in bright sunshine with few people (arriving at opening).This is a castle not to be missed. ✨

We visited the Chateau on a French holiday. A very impressive place with heaps of history and things to learn. Lovely expert staff on hand to answer questions. The gardens are amazing to wander around. There is a huge car park, plenty of room for campervans. Its 12 euros for the day to park up so you can make a day of it.

Huge palace, very few pieces of furniture. Tons of rooms. Went to the very top and had great views of the gardens. When arriving early through the mist, the main entrance just looks amazing. There are places to eat, ATM, bike racks. It even has its own police force on horseback. Impressive.

Impressive castle set on huge grounds. We found the artwork exhibits the most interesting aspects, plus the double helix staircase at center of building. Very crowded, next time we would try to be there early when they open.

First visit on a Saturday. Not as crowded as expected. Still enough free parking lots. We did not find an e-car charging station. If you are disabled with a cars, you can enter for free and your accompanying person as well. Even parking will be free. This is outstanding!The castle ist amazing, the gardens wide and well to access. You can rent a golf caddy or a boat. There are some local vendors on a market styled place offering their crafted foods and drinks.We did not like the current art exhibition, but tastes are different. The collection of oil paintings is superb.

Incredible castle and must see in the region. The inside stairwell was designed by Leonardo da Vinci himself.Two tips - (1) get a guided tour! They will show you amazing parts of the castle including the attic which you cannot see without one. (2) dress warm! The castle has this weird layout that makes it super windy inside even on a hot day, so we got super cold. Bring layers even if you’re here in summer!

An easy walk to the Chateau from the car park. It wasn't crowded at all. I really enjoyed getting kind of lost inside and wish we'd had more time from our tour to explore. It was fun to find all the outdoor corridors that connected different rooms and areas. Kids really seemed to like it.

One of the biggest castles in France. Most famous for its double helix staircase. Recently renovated, it doesn't have as many fully furnished rooms as it used too. It's become more of a museum of history and art. The catering is much improved and there are lots of activities around the castle. There's a Kid's Discovery Zone inside the castle. You should come early, so you can use the whole day to explore the castle and it's surroundings.

Splendid views!! Lots of stairs to climb, but it is worth the energy. Stairs were not steep. Found the decor of some of the rooms to be beautiful. Best to plan to spend the day. There are many things to do like riding bikes, renting a golf cart. Several places to eat and have a relaxing snack a stones throw from the chateau.

Wow this castle was very much bigger and grander than I’d imagine while the locals were telling us about the chateau that it’s a must-go. Indeed it is. There is a lot of history and stories inside the chateau with a very helpful slew of videos. The best part is the multiple translations available for the videos each plastered on different sides of the wall making it easy for many tourists to learn about its history in comfort.Favourite room: the video room.Favourite exhibit: the hunting room with buttons displayI’d recommend getting the iPad to view the exhibits and follow the map in the given sequence in order to fully cover the château should time permit.There are also sprawling gardens for you to walk which we couldn’t finish and a cafe/restaurant inside the castle and another few outside the chateau to fill your empty stomachs from the long walks. The inside cafe only has light bites past lunch hour.There is also a kids friendly room located at the top floor, there’s a “finding Wally” game there which is pretty goofy fun.Fun fact, the chateau felt colder in the winter inside than outside. A fellow B&B owner said a similar thing too.

Impressionné par le gigantisme des lieux on a un peu peur de louper des choses car pas très évident de s'orienter. Vu la taille des pièces obligatoirement cela paraît un peu vide. Mais cela reste sans conteste un château à voir.(Translated by Google)Impressed by the gigantism of the place, we are a little afraid of missing things because it's not very easy to find our way.

We have been there at the Eastern Holiday. We started our tour after 20 min wait for security confirmation which is acceptable.It is worth to wait. We bought head phone application and I think it was very successful to understand each room even each chair.Improvement point is only women toilets were in use on such a busy day. You need to wait 10 more in toilet queue.

Overall nice to see huge Chateau with sprawling grounds. It’s grand but not as interesting on the inside. Food options onsite with ok food.Car was broken into in the parking lot and when reported to the Chateau they really didn’t care and just stated it was for the police to deal with. Careful parking here as there is no security and thieves know tourists who are traveling through will stop here.

Chambord castle or palace is the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited in my entire life. It’s a one in a lifetime experience. I can’t rate this castle high enough. If I could rate it higher I would. We spent there almost 3 hours and the time went so quick. I could not believe it. I didn’t want to leave the castle as it was so gorgeous everywhere you go to.The gardens surrounding this palace are magnificent. They well looked after. You can also view them from the roof that you have access to.You definitely need to visit this stunning piece of architecture, engineering and work of art.

I absolutely adore this Chateau!During my visit, it happened to be a quiet weekday in winter, so there weren't many visitors around. It was such a delight to explore the grounds without the crowds and have the opportunity to take plenty of photos without any distractions.Even though I only had about 2 hours to spend, I managed to cover most of the areas. If you find yourself with limited time, I still highly recommend making a trip to this Chateau. It's definitely worth it, and you'll be able to make the most of your visit regardless of the time constraints.

My entire family really enjoyed the chateau. My kids and husband were not very excited when I first mentioned it, but even they begrudgingly admitted afterwards that it was really neat. The grounds are really incredible and the chateau itself was amazing. It’s so huge that it’s hard to make sure you haven’t missed anything. We stayed in Orleans and did a day trip out- it was perfect. It was late March and the cherry tree blossoms were just blooming… I think a week later would have been perfect. Going during the off season was amazing- it was the weekend and it wasn’t crowded at all.

One of the best castles of the Loire region in France! Majestic views, huge gardens and a beautiful terrace. There's a lot of history to this castle.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Rouen is a stunning example of Gothic architecture, built in the 12th century. It replaced an earlier Romanesque church and underwent construction over several centuries due to various obstacles. This historic monument showcases its beauty through Claude Monet's paintings, which highlight its significance. Visitors can take tours of the cathedral, including a visit to the remains of a crypt from a previous Roman structure located on-site.
This Cathedral is an amazing piece of art built and rebuilt over eight centuries from 8th to 16th century, with an earlier one standing there as early as 4c. Therefore, you can spot very different architecture styles best seen in its three towers each in different style - Gothic, Flamboyant and Renaissance.The facade is simply astonishing being the one of the best I've ever seen, and I saw hundreds of them all over the world.It's grandeur is overwhelming compared to Rouen size which is in fact a small city. The interiors are pretty much the same as many others in this part of France with huge tall Gothic arches, fantastic stained glass and rose window.On the square in front of it, by the right tower is a plaque signing the place from where the famous impressionist Monet painted many paintings of the Cathedral in various weather conditions and different times of year.Another spot of his from where he painted, as well a beautiful place to capture the entire Rouen panorama is Cote Saint Catherine (see that review), from where you can clearly see how this Cathedral dominates the city.

In the early evening (in August) the sunlight falls beautifully on the cathedral. Next to the cathedral there is the cathedral’s garden that is worth a look.There is an impressive light show (Google Rouen Cathedral Light Show and check the hours - until September 19, 2021). The light show (with two creations) plays twice in succession. We also stayed for the second showing and the big crowd was gone. It felt more like a unique experience.

One of the most famous sights in Rouen, the Cathedral is really imprssive. The building is huge and one of the tallest in Europe. It began to be built nearly 900 years ago, and survived fires, wars, hurricanes, etc. It was painted by Monet and other artists. The entrance is free. You can see tombs of some of the rulers of Normandie inside.

Rouen is a beautiful city in the Normandy region of France. This city although small is one of the prettiest I have ever visited.The cathedral is just one of the city’s rich architecture. The cathedral is imposing and can be seen from various points in the city. It is nice inside but fairly modest than cathedrals and churches in Italy.The surrounding buildings are beautiful. Rouen is a place you have visit to see it for yourself. You can reach here from Paris by train. It is fairly easy to get there by car as well.It’s free entry with a small gift shop inside.

Richard the Lionheart waslaid to rest here.It is the tallest cathedral in France since the reconstruction of its cast iron spire in 1876, reaching 151 meters high.The building is also known internationally thanks to the series of paintings by the impressionist painter Claude Monet who made 30 representations of it.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen stands as a magnificent testament to Gothic architecture, a marvel that captivates visitors with its intricate details and soaring spires. Beyond its architectural grandeur, what makes the experience truly magical is the enchanting Christmas market that unfolds in front of the cathedral. The market adds a festive charm, transforming the square into a winter wonderland of twinkling lights, seasonal treats, and artisanal crafts. The juxtaposition of the cathedral's timeless beauty with the lively holiday spirit of the market creates a unique and memorable atmosphere, making a visit during the Christmas season to Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen a truly delightful and festive experience.

Rouen cathedral is a must see when in Rouen, in the summer months , they have an interactive sound and light show beamed onto the front of the cathedral every evening, something which may have Richard the lion heart (buried inside) turning in his grave. The cathedral is grand , with a decent array of normandy medieval tombs and good stained glass. There is, though, something that doesn't quite elevate it to say Amiens cathedral architecturally although the historic tombs more than make up for that in many ways. The light show outside in the evening is well worth a look so do come back to take a look at that too.

Sights & Landmarks
The Chartres Cathedral is an exquisite twelfth century Gothic cathedral that transports visitors back in time. The cathedral is filled with relics, intricate stained glass windows, and hundreds of tiny statues depicting the life of Christ, all of which makes it a fascinating place to visit. In addition to its beauty, the cathedral also houses around 5 museums worth checking out.
We stayed in Chartres for a day on our way to Rennes and stopped there to see the Cathedral which is part of UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. We love Gothic cathedrals, and this is one of the most impressive cathedral we've seen. Surprisingly, It is a tad taller than Notre Dames in Paris. There has been extensive renovation work done in past 10 years and it is quite striking to compare between before and after renovation. When we came, the main entrance door was closed, probably because the mass was ongoing, but we were able to enter from the right side entrance. We were totally blown away by the beauty of the place, the statues both inside and out, the stain glasses and even more so by the wall of sculptures all around the choir. It took 200 years to complete it!!! I highly recommended to see the Cathedral if you travel by Chartres.

Grand. Historical. Not crowded at all. May not been as famous as Notre Dame in Paris, but no less magnificent without all the hassles in the busy city. Watch out for Google directions though, it led us through a restricted pedestrian zone which was barred from outside traffic on tiny one lane streets. Thankfully the parking attendant pitied us and let us through but it was a nightmare. Be sure to map to cathedral parking instead of cathedral.

4th time to this amazing, ancient cathedral. They say there is much symbolism in not only the architecture, statues and Stella’s with regards to New Jerusalem, but also in the spiritual journey one embarks on when in and around this Gothic masterpiece.Since my last visits, the restoration work they have completed is amazing. The cathedral speaks more than ever and has a story to tell to believers and non believers alike.

The story of Jesus in 40 Scripture scenes in great detailed the before through after his death on the cross.

Chartres Cathedral is one of Europe’s most beautiful and an experience that promises to transcend time and leave you spellbound. The cathedral stands as a testament to the zenith of French Gothic architecture. With harmonious designs, detailed rose windows, and balanced proportions, every nook and cranny speaks of the meticulous hands and visionary minds behind its creation. Every glance at Chartres Cathedral is an ode to the architectural genius of the past. Its towering spires seem to pierce the sky, and the intricate facade tells tales of craftsmanship that few structures of our time can parallel.

Obviously the star in Chartres … generations have rebuilt this cathedral over and over again on this special spot … just allow yourself to be blasted away with the magnificent artwork you will see inside - small wonders of craftsmanship for centuries and centuries … if you come during the summer months you will be lucky to see some great light performance projected onto the cathedral - and on some other 10 sites in Chartres - starting when night falls and running until something like 1 am. Indeed to stroll around town (easily by foot no need for the tourist „train“) and suck in all these light shows and music performances that automatically start after sunset

Visited Chartres last week on a Tuesday afternoon. Our group enjoyed the stained glass windows, which were stunning! We spent a few hours walking around the grounds and the interior of the Cathedral.The standouts were the stained glass, gothic architecture, and the non-existent crowds. Compared to Paris, this felt like a secluded getaway where time could be spent enjoying the Cathedral without having so many others around (we noticed probably less than 10 other tourists). This is especially key given at this time in 2023 Notre Dame in Paris is not rebuilt and is not available for entry. Come to Chartres (pronounced ‘Shart’) and enjoy the same era or architectural brilliance up close.By the way, when mapping to Chartres, make sure to set your GPS to “Q-Park Cathedrale” and not the actual Chartres Cathedral. If you map directly to the Cathedral, your GPS might take you through the local streets some of which are very small with blocked-off access points without space for u-turns.

Our Lady of Chartres Cathedral is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture! I was in awe of the endless stained glass and detailed art carvings throughout. This cathedral is well known for housing the relic that is believed to be of the Mother Mary's veil worn during the birth of Jesus. This history of this cathedral is incredibly impressive. It's tough to comprehend the endless hours invested into the creation of this magnificent artwork, including the years of renovation.

The Fondation Claude Monet in Giverny is a captivating destination that showcases the house, gardens, and studio of renowned artist Claude Monet. This artistic haven offers visitors a romantic and unexpected journey through its ornate gardens, Japanese prints, and the artist's studio-sitting room. In addition to this iconic site, Giverny also houses the Musee des Impressionnismes Giverny, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2019.
There can be no doubt that this is a most beautiful place to visit, but I'd definitely recommend-*Book tickets in advance*Go outside of school/public holidays*Plan your visit for when the water lilies are in bloom!We went on Easter Sunday and it was VERY busy (fortunately I'd bought tickets in advance) and sadly the lake was bare- BUT it did not detract from the wonderful time we had.The village of Giverny is well worth a stroll around too if you can take in so much beauty in one day!

A very special place to visit to see the work of this great painter. The garden is well laid out and signposted. Lots of photo opportunities as well as time to reflect on the beauty of the planting. The house is a bonus to see how Monet lived, his work, the amazing views of the garden from the house. Timed tickets. Spend about 3 hours. The gift shop is good value and there is something for everyone in terms of price options. Places to eat and drink in the village. Parking is well organised. Couldn’t give 5 stars as staff made us wait an hour in the sun due to staffing issues with no regard to the bill elderly members of the group.

This was my second time to Giverny. (The first was 30 years ago.) No surprise, the gardens were beautiful, the pond was beautiful, the flowers up close were beautiful BUT - and this is a big BUT - the crowds were too much, in both the house and the gardens. It was honestly stressful to try to walk along the paths because there were so many people crammed onto the grounds. I’m used to going to gardens to be reflective and to enjoy the experience. The crowds made it unpleasant (And this was a Monday. Imagine what it would be like on the weekend!) That’s why I gave the Monet house three stars instead of five.I have no desire to go back, no matter how pretty my pictures turned out. I actually felt anxiety amidst the crowds.I’d like to make a recommendation to the Foundation, if that doesn’t seem to pompous: please only allow a certain number of people on the grounds every day. Charge a little more to make up for what you might lose in ticket sales. But please reduce the number of people – and regulate (stagger) the times so that the there are not thousands of people, trying to navigate a place that is supposed to be tranquil and contemplative. (In my photos, I waited for people to pass – so you can’t see the crowds - but trust me, they were there!)

We drove easily from Paris to Giverny and parked on the free Verger’s parking lot. 13:30 was perfect for us to visit the house and the gardens.Worth the drive and the wait (line) to discover beautiful paintings of him especially when you can get up close !

Konnte so reinlaufen, keine Wartezeit. Durch die vielen Reisegruppen war es sehr voll. Da alle sehr freundlich waren war es trotzdem kein Problem. Wunderschöner Garten! Im Haus wurde es dann doch eng, hier gab es auch keine Wartezeit. Da hätte ich mir eine Begrenzung gewünscht. Alles sehr gepflegt und sauber. Perfekte Zeit für den Garten. Alles blüht und die Rose duften.(Translated by Google)I was able to walk in, no waiting time. It was very crowded due to the many tour groups. Since everyone was very friendly, it wasn't a problem. Beautiful garden! Things got tight in the house and there was no waiting time. I would have liked there to be a limit. Everything was very well maintained and clean. Perfect time for the garden. Everything is blooming and the roses are fragrant.

The house and garden where Monet spent his final years and painted some of his most famous pieces such as the water lilies or the bridge. An interesting visit and a good source of inspiration for artists. The village of Giverny itself is also quite cute despite the "tourist effect"

VERY NEAT FOR A MONET FAN. This was a great detour on our way to Normandy. Parking is challenging though if you wait king enough someone leaves. When we came there was also a market (Sunday morning) so that made parking even more difficult. We did not have advance tickets and only waited in line for 5 mins to purchase. The gardens and ponds are amazing. The flowers are incredible. The house is really neat as It has his first studio with replica paintings. The feel of the gardens shows how one of the great impressionists could be motivated to paint. It was beautiful.

Highlight of my recent Paris trip! Quite straightforward reaching this place (by train and then shuttle bus; signs are very clear once you reach Vernon). My recommendation is plan the trip yourself but buy entry tickets in advance. Spent about 3 hours here. Loved browsing the shop too. Even though it was crowded - I came in summer, there are little pockets of quiet where you can sit around and just soak in the atmosphere of this beauty of a place.

Bestimmt ein schöner Garten. Aber wenn er um 10 Uhr auf macht und man um 9.55 Uhr nur in einer Schlange durch den Garten laufen kann, macht das keinen Spaß. Man kann kein Foto machen ohne 50 andere Leute auf dem Foto zu haben. Im Haus waren wir nicht, dafür hätte man eine Stunde warten müssen. Es ist laut und voll und ohne Ticket wartet man an der Kasse 4 Stunden und länger.(Translated by Google)Definitely a nice garden. But if it opens at 10 a.m. and you can only walk in a line through the garden at 9:55 a.m., that's no fun. You can't take a photo without having 50 other people in the photo. We weren't in the house, so we would have had to wait an hour. It's loud and crowded and without a ticket you have to wait 4 hours or more at the ticket office.

Beautiful place. A must on your list. An hour outside of Paris. It is less expensive to Uber if you have 6+ people.

Wonderful and moving experience. The home is charming and loaded with art (not Monet's but special nevertheless), photos, and furnishings to recreate how Monet lived in a key mature part of his artistic life and after achieving rare "success while still living". Although the gardens have been replaced, they did so with the greatest effort to make it exactly as it was. The garden is absolutely lovely as well as the pond where waterlilies and other masterpieces were painted. The village is lovely as well. Great experience.

Wonderful gardens but so very busy! Line at 30 min after opening was 2.5h long. Even longer when we were leaving. I'm thinking, get there an hour before opening (09:30 for our visit).Japanese garden is certainly the highlight. Very beautiful.

Stunning and worth visiting early in the day. Visit through Monet's house before the gardens to avoid the crowds.The e-ticket was poorly signposted if you catch the shuttle bus from Vernon Gare, it's actually the Group-entry gate near the underwater, rather than the main entrance up near the gift-shop.

Beautiful gardens. Visited in August 2023. Many flowers in bloom. Visited the house. Couldn't really take your time in the house due to the number of visitors. Arrived for opening 9.30am. Well worth the time here

If you love art and nature/garden, you should visit this place during Spring!To get there, you could take the TER (train) and then you will get a shuttle bus from the station to the location. Once you reach there, you will have to walk for like 5 minutes to reach the garden.If you are hungry or want to take something quick, there are a few restaurants and takeaway places outside of the garden. Keep in mind that if the ticket is single entry, you cannot exit the place and come back, in case you gets hungry! ;)So the place, I really loved the garden, which was peaceful and beautiful at the same time. I spent quite sometime in the garden before entering to the Monet’s house. The house is filled with his and many other artists works, which are amazing.Also, do lots of forget to go to the other side of the garden where you could find small water canal and a pond.I spent almost 2-3 hours there and then grabbed a small sandwich from one of the takeaway shops after exiting from the place.Also, one more suggestion, try to go in the morning time slot, something near 10:30 a.m. for a better experience.I will highly recommend you to visit this amazing place at least one time!

This place is absolutely magical! If you are anywhere near here - within 100 miles - then go!!! Book online before going just in case there’s a queue or it is full. There is so much to see and explore and just get lost in the gardens. We went in summer and it was simply amazing. There were some crowds but it didn’t feel crowded at all. Park at the lot just opposite - plenty of spaces. Could have spent the whole day there but settled for 4 hours in the afternoon.

It was a very beautiful place.I visited in mid-October and it was wonderful.It was not crowded and I didn't have to wait in line, so it was comfortable.I think it might be crowded in spring, but I would like to visit in each season.I am truly grateful for preserving and sharing such a wonderful place.

Possible the most beautiful garden in the world! I dreamt of this place for years before visiting. After finding a book about Monet’s garden several years earlier this place had been in my bucket list until I finally had the time to visit during a trip to Paris in 2023. I travelled from Paris as part of a coach tour and spent the entire day in Giverny. It was a rainy day, but did not take away from the magic of the experience. 8 full time staff tend the garden and the tulip beds are certainly a highlight. Although the water lilies were not in bloom during my visit, the lily pond was still amazing to behold. The Japanese bridges hold so much history and are iconic scenes. I brought my watercolours to paint while attending.Would definitely recommend taking a day to visit by train or tour coach.

The house garden and water lily garden are stunning, and it is fun to visit the restored house as well. The gift shop had a lot of fun souvenirs. There is a restaurant near the lower parking lot with outdoor garden seating that was fantastic.

The Fondation Monet is a must-visit for any fan of Impressionist art. The house and gardens are beautifully preserved, and it is easy to see why Monet was inspired by them. The gardens are especially stunning in the spring and summer, when the flowers are in bloom. I would recommend visiting early in the day to avoid the crowds.The staff at the Fondation Monet are friendly and helpful. They were happy to answer our questions about Monet and his work. We also enjoyed the guided tour, which gave us a deeper understanding of the gardens.Overall, we had a wonderful experience at the Fondation Monet. It is a truly special place that everyone should visit at least once

The house and the gardens were absolutely a delight to watch. I went in June and I believe it's the perfect time to visit, because it was already spring and just the start of summer, hence it was full of blossomed flowers and not very crowded.

It was an incredible time at the Monet Gardens and house. We did this as a cruise ship excursion and while it made for a long day it was so worthwhile. Even in Mid-October there were still flowers blooming. We enjoyed wandering through the grounds and touring the house.

We saw the house he lived in and all the gardens he had painted, including the lily pond. It seemed the whole town was a beautiful flower garden. What a wonderful town to visit or live in. Highly recommend visiting in you're in France.

Worth the visit. Its a small place (house and garden) but the flowers and the paintings in the house are so, so beautiful. You probably will spend maybe 3 hours max. Can have a lot of visitors, so need to be patient when taking pics. Also, the shop at the end is super interesting! Couldn't resist to buy something!!

To walk in the garden and imagining what Monet experienced is amazing.. did a half day pm tour with bluefox and we had a nice lovely french guide Agustine to lead the way. It was raining from the moment we arrive at the church where the Monet family is buried and all the way we start the tour in the house and garden of Monet. However, despite the rain, it didnt dampen the whole experience but rather kind of melancholy to walk in the garden while listening to the piter pater of the raindrops falling.. lovely flowers, there are an array of colours in the garden, it is not perfect but maintaining the current state is already commendable.. the house is also lovely.. definetly worth to visit if you are a Monet art fan. We set off at 2 pm from paris and back again at 6 pm off slightly.. went in May on a weekday.

The Eiffel Tower, a controversial yet iconic structure built in 1889 for the World's Fair, is a popular tourist destination and attraction in Paris. The tower provides an orientation point for the city and is located on the Champ de Mars. It is best accessed on Line 6 or 8 of the Paris Metro. Peak hours are usually avoided to avoid overcrowding. Jules Verne, a Michelin-starred restaurant at the top of the tower, is currently closed for renovation.
I mean, come on...it's the Eiffel Tower! This is a magical place. The view of Paris from the top is absolutely breathtaking. The day we went it was not too crowded, so it made things much easier. This was part of our Honeymoon and I am.so glad we got to experience it! The staff we encountered were extremely helpful and kind. You can tell they enjoy what they do. We walked here (which was quite the hike) from Notre Dame, so getting here was well worth the effort! We will definitely be back......someday!

Superb view day & night!The view from the ground is very good. There is no need to go up for capturing a picture, but it's good to enjoy taking a walk to the tower. Best to take a ticket online(I prefer walking till the second level and coming down(€10)). The city view from the second level is more beautiful and clear than from the top level. Also we are here to see the tower, not the city view! Walking till the second level is a little hard task, so if you are capable of only walking, otherwise take the lift.

The most magical thing to witness at night.This was a bucket list thing for me, and I wasn't remotely disappointed. It's breathtaking and I wish I could visit more often. The lights sparkle every hour on the hour for anyone waiting for that.If you cross the street you can get some full great views of it also.

A must-see in the city of Paris. I have seen from multiple locations throughout. It is gorgeous and stunning to see both day and night. We also took a river boat tour up close to the Eiffel Tower and would recommend it. We went up to the first look out, but didn't go any further.

The Eiffel Tower is an architectural marvel and an absolute must-visit when in Paris. As you ascend its iron lattice structure, you're treated to breathtaking panoramic views of the City of Light. From the bustling streets below to the serene Seine River weaving through the city, every angle offers a picturesque snapshot of Parisian charm.The tower itself is a testament to engineering brilliance and serves as a symbol of France's rich cultural heritage. While the queues can be long, the experience is well worth the wait.Whether you're admiring it from afar or standing atop its lofty heights, the Eiffel Tower never fails to captivate and inspire.

I visited the Eiffel Tower recently and it was absolutely beautiful! The iconic structure is even more breathtaking in person, with its impressive architecture and the panoramic views of Paris from the top. The atmosphere around the tower was so romantic, and surreal. I will never forget my visit. Whether you're visiting during the day or seeing the lights at night, it's truly a memorable experience. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Paris!

I absolutely love the twinkling Eiffel Tower and would go back again and again just to see it at night. It's such an amazing piece of architecture. The views from the top were breathtaking. We had champagne at the top, which added to our excitement, though it was very expensive. We also took a boat cruise, and the views of the Eiffel Tower from the river were amazing. Overall, experiencing the Eiffel Tower firsthand was a highlight of my trip to Paris, capturing both the city's grandeur and its timeless charm.

The most spectacular and wonderful place in Paris. The Eiffel tower is historical place, but looks modern at the same time. The view from the top of the Eiffel is magnificent and breathtaking. The view of skyscraper and different historical places are amazing. The real beauty of Eiffel is in the evening, when it shines with colorful lights. It is one of the amaze of Engineering

Paris is an incredible experience with innumerable museums, parks, restaurants and beautiful sites but the Eiffel Tower is one of the most interesting places to visit.The view from the top is breathtaking but it's not the only thing to enjoy.Around the tower we can find hundreds of souvenirs sellers, people from all parts of the world, restaurants, street artists and many other surprises. There is a flow of energy which makes the visit a remarkable experience.

There were a TON of people there. However, we still could take amazing photos. There were tons of vendors there that provided water, photography, and souvenirs! Although it was very warm there, by the time it was 11pm, the Eiffel Tower was glowing brightly lighting up everything around it. I would recommend for tourists to come see this if they haven’t for the first time. What a beauty!

Of course you'll go to the Eiffel Tower in Paris! But did you know you can climb it too! We walked up and bought tickets on the day. Expect crowds if the weather is good. You must go through security so leave the big bags behind. You can opt for stairs or the elevator. If you want to go to the top there will be another queue you can expect for the second elevator after people have taken in the views and pictures at the first level. There are many vendors around the bottom for trinkets so you don't have to buy at the gift shop.the top was closed. There was also a lot of construction/remodeling equipment under and on the tower due to preparations for the 2024 Olympics. Nevertheless, our elevator ride up to level 1 and 2 was a great experience. I suggest going in the late afternoon so that you can experience the tower in daylight and nighttime. We did this, and we have a great variety of beautiful photos. The views of Paris from the 2nd floor are breathtaking.

Visiting the Eiffel Tower was an absolute highlight of our trip, and it left us in awe of its beauty and the breathtaking views it offered.We gone to top of Eiffel Tower with lift and the Ticket price was 28 EURO per person without Guide. And no visit to a world-famous attraction is complete without a bit of waiting, and we queued up for about an hour before we could step foot inside the tower. While the wait was a tad long, it was entirely worth it for the unforgettable experience that awaited us at the top. Plus, it gave us a chance to soak in the anticipation and excitement of the other visitors around us.We decided to ascend to the second floor, and the experience was nothing short of magnificent. As we reached that elevation, we were greeted with a panoramic view of Paris that truly took our breath away. It's amazing how different a city can look from such a lofty vantage point. The sweeping vistas of iconic landmarks, the winding Seine River, and the sprawling cityscape were a sight to behold.In the end, our visit to the Eiffel Tower was an absolute triumph. The memories of those astonishing views will stay with us forever, and the hour-long wait was a small price to pay for such an iconic and mesmerizing experience. If you're ever in Paris, don't miss the opportunity to ascend this legendary landmark. It's a memory you'll cherish for a lifetime.

Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking views! Highly recommend purchasing tickets ahead of time, especially if you wish to go up to the summit. You can make a line to purchase tickets the day of but it is not guaranteed you’ll get one.I purchased tickets for the early morning and it was not crowded, I was able to take my time walking the area and when we went up to the summit, it was not crowded. I loved everything about my experience and highly recommend visiting!I also recommend returning at night to see it light up!
Gabriela F — Google review
We went with a tour company which allowed us to get through the queues faster- that was worth it. We also bought summit tickets. It was cool going up to the summit (a little nauseating) but in terms of enjoying the views the second floor did the job. Be mindful that there is a another queue on the second floor to get to the summit.Overall it’s well worth going but be prepared for crowds and queues.

Wow wow wow!! Spectacular! An iconic monument! It's a wonderful experience holding hands of your loved one and walking by the Eiffel Tower in 'city of love'.Equally good to watch both day & night. I personally liked the night view especially the glitter light effect of the tower that come on every 30minutes! The queue to access the monument is not worth the wait unless you really want to go in. It is indeed an unforgettable experience you must not miss out! 100% recommended!!

Gorgeous no doubt, worth to go day and night each at least. I preferred night view more. Must walk along the garden path below. Such a good place to chill up with wine and music. I didn’t gone up the tower coz I think it looks way stunning from a distance. The restaurant around are great but be careful of those pressuring hard tips from customer

If you're reading this, you're probably going to visit no matter what you read in reviews, so I'll focus on things to know about visiting.1. In June 2023, the tower is being painted. I read it will no longer be brown, but a more yellow-brown shade. You can still go up, and the efforts are pretty unobtrusive, but there is some safety netting up and some small areas on the observation decks that are blocked off for painters.2. One person in our party is in a wheelchair. She was able to go up one lift (I believe the second floor), but could not go to the top.3. The grounds underneath the tower are under some construction, I presume to prepare for the 2024 Olympics. As a result of that and a fair number of people on the day of our visit, restrooms were limited and lines were long.4. We visited the tower during the day but stayed in the area to get a view of it at night. It's a truly beautiful sight, even more so at night. If you do go at night, be sure to have a good viewing spot at the top of the hour, as that's when the lights sparkle.5. We bought tickets in advance, but there was still a pretty long wait. It's a huge tourist attraction after all, so be prepared.

At first when I saw it, nothing happened. Then I went near by and there was huge tower. Then when I went to upper side it was super view. Then in evening when I was just going on river cruise at that time it took my heart. It was so beautiful to see it skinning like gold. It is always so many people so better to get all tickets booked online. Staff was helpful however many people not know English. But overall please visit it in evening for spectacular view.

It’s iconic and popular for a reason-I consider this a must visit in Paris! Highly suggest getting tickets ahead of time to go to the top, that way you can avoid waiting 1-2 hours in line. We went near sunset and it was breathtaking and really makes you appreciate the size of the city. Go to the lawn at dark and just take in the awesome vibe of the park and watch the tower light up every hour-it’s a total core memory!

Experiencing the Eiffel Tower illuminated from below was a breathtaking moment that truly captivated my senses. I yearned to linger, seated in awe, absorbing its magnificence from varied perspectives. Witnessing the lifts ascend to the summit and descend mirrored the enchanting journey of my admiration. Reflecting on my childhood, where a small tower adorned my home, and now beholding its majestic counterpart in person, fills me with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. ☺️

The Eiffel Tower is truly an iconic masterpiece that captures the heart and soul of Paris. From its magnificent structure to its breathtaking views, this architectural wonder leaves a lasting impression on all who visit.From the moment you set foot near the tower, you are immediately captivated by its grandeur. The intricate iron lattice work and towering height are a testament to the engineering brilliance of Gustave Eiffel, the mastermind behind this extraordinary structure. As you approach the tower, you can't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for the sheer scale and beauty of the Eiffel Tower.Climbing to the top of the tower is an experience like no other. The panoramic views of Paris from the various observation decks are absolutely breathtaking. From the sprawling cityscape, with its distinct landmarks and buildings, to the winding Seine River and beyond, every angle offers a new and mesmerizing perspective. It's as if you're witnessing the magic of Paris unfold right before your eyes.Visiting the Eiffel Tower is undeniably a must-do when in Paris. It's a place that evokes a sense of wonder and appreciation for human achievement, while also providing an opportunity to create lifelong memories. Whether you visit during the day or at night, the Eiffel Tower's grandeur and beauty will leave you in awe, reminding you why it is one of the most beloved landmarks in the world.

It is definitely one of the most beautiful places in the world. You can call this structure a pile of iron. But I cannot evaluate it as a pile of iron. There is a culture and history there. It has a magical atmosphere. It should definitely be seen at night. I don't think it makes much sense to go to the top floor. It is more beautiful to watch the Eiffel than to watch the view from the Eiffel.

It goes without saying that you simply must visit the Eiffel Tower when you're in Paris.As I live in France and visit Paris quite regularly, I've seen it from a multitude of angles and still stop to look at it each time I pass by. If you choose to buy a ticket to actually visit and go up to the summit (it's worth noting that you have to buy a summit ticket to be able to go all the way to the top and not just a second level ticket - they're different prices), you'll be in for an extra treat as you'll be able to admire the entire city from a height. It's gorgeous!I definitely recommend buying tickets in advance - we didn't and it was quite a busy Sunday so we were stood in line for around 40 minutes, whilst the queue for people with tickets moved a lot faster. You'll also have to wait to be able to access the lifts to go up to both the second level and the summit (there's a fair bit of waiting to do throughout the experience due to the high volume of visitors) but, once you get there, the view is spectacular. You can also purchase extras like champagne to enhance your experience at the summit.Whilst we were there, a lady had her phone stolen so, as many others have said, definitely be aware of pickpockets - the Eiffel Tower and surrounding areas are where you'll find the most of that type of behaviour.Besides this, you'll have a great time - you can't say you've really seen Paris until you've visited the Eiffel Tower. Top tip: after 8pm, the Eiffel Tower lights up and sparkles for the first 5 minutes of each hour until 1am!

Extraordinary Views and Beautiful Engineering, but I would not go again to wait in the winter was 3 hours from the start until we got to the top of the tower at the top floor. The elevator ride is less than 90 seconds, but the line is absolutely horrendous. There are four elevators from each leg of the tower going up, but people take their time up top or course make it worth their while since it took 3 hours or so to get there. Plan on at the very least 1/2 day to do the Eiffel Tower, but I recommend just taking pictures from all the different streets in the first 500 meters away from the tower. Of course the experience is great to get up to the top but only once for me… I don’t like big crowds and people pushing you and you constantly have to touch or be touched by someone. Not my usual cup of tea. Great attraction and a big cash cow for France. I would own one if I could attract so many people and get that much cash out of it. Jan 1, 2024 was our visit to the tower at 4:30pm. If you can buy tickets to skip the line, and cash isn’t a problem, do that… the best views and pictures are from the 2nd floor.

I'm still in awe of her beauty. She is so majestic and glorious! I don't get tired of looking at her. Unfortunately, we couldn't get inside because we couldn't use our booked reservation, and when I tried to reserve again, everything was sold out until past our departure. So, I had to just admire it from the outside. I will have to come back to Paris!

It was my second time here. One of the largest tourist monuments in the world. It’s beautiful. It’s imposing. It’s exciting. One of the most amazing places I’ve visited. My last time here the tower was closed because of the snow. However, and after a lot of patience I managed to get in. Only the first and second floors were available. Still, it’s a spectacular view. The sunset is beautiful here. 🫶

Definitely a must do in our lifetime! The premise was clean in all levels. The staff was friendly and helpful.Be ready to do a little bit of a lane. One for security to get in, one to buy tickets, and others when taking the elevators (depending if what levels you are going)

The Eiffel Tower needs no introduction but is still an absolutely amazing place to visit! We were able to spend more time in Paris than we were planning after our connecting flight was cancelled, and we took the opportunity to go to the top of the tower, and enjoyed seeing the sun set from the top. This was mid-February, so it was off-season, and the wait times were not bad at all. We had to wait less than 10 minutes to purchase our tickets and less than 20 minutes total for the lifts. Adult fare for a trip to the top is 28 Euro, but we thought it was well worth it and was definitely a highlight of our short time in the city. After the tower tour we took a river boat cruise and enjoyed seeing the tower all lit up. The tower has sparkling lights that flash for 5 minutes every hour on the hour - very neat!

I personally believe this place don't need any kind of review but still I like the vibe here and also I will suggest everyone who are planning to visit is not to miss the light Show which happens every hour for 5 minutes. Besides that don't just take a view from the bottom but instead of that go to the top of the tower and enjoy the scenic view of the city in night.You can pre-book the top view online so you don't have to wait in lines for the tickets.

The Eiffel Tower is an absolute marvel and an iconic symbol of Paris that exceeded all my expectations. Standing beneath its towering structure, you can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder. The intricate lattice of ironwork is a testament to engineering brilliance, and the panoramic views of Paris from the various observation decks are simply breathtaking.I recommend visiting at different times of the day to witness the tower's changing personality – whether it's the morning sun casting a warm glow or the sparkling lights that transform it into a beacon of romance at night. The elevator ride to the top provides a thrilling perspective of the city, and the informative displays along the way offer insights into the tower's history.The Champ de Mars park surrounding the Eiffel Tower is a delightful place for a leisurely stroll or a picnic, offering a serene contrast to the bustling city beyond. From proposals and family photos to solo contemplation, the Eiffel Tower is an experience that caters to all. It's not just a landmark; it's a symbol of Parisian charm, elegance, and the enduring magic that captivates visitors from around the world.

Our third time here this time with the kids.As much as the place is packed with visitors, it is not always noticeable because there are many security checkpoints at the entrance and then a very large and spacious place.It is highly recommended to book tickets in advance because the lines to get on the elevator are very long.Besides, it is very pleasant to walk around the foot of the tower and then cross to the other side and see it from far away

A beautiful and iconic location. We opted to take the stairs instead of the elevator, and it was excellent. The bar on the first level was okay - they do offer souvenir plastic champagne glasses for 2 €. The first "twinkle" is at 11pm.The metro stops near the tower closed early, so we had to walk a good distance to get back to our hotel.

The Arc de Triomphe is a landmark of Paris, built to commemorate Napoleon's victories. The arch is 164 feet high, and features an observation deck. It is one of the most popular monuments in Paris after the Eiffel Tower.
My most favorite view of Paris and definitely a highlight of the city!I have visited many times in the past, but it never ceases to amaze me how grandiose this building is. During my last visit, I waited around 10 minutes to purchase the ticket and another 5 minutes to go through security - all reasonable times, however next time I would buy tickets online.Once I walked up the twisting stairs (there is no elevator for the general public) I entered a lobby where toilets are located, and continued to the roof. I spent about half an hour at the roof deck, walking around and enjoying the view of the city. It was not really busy, people were just chilling, relaxing, and taking pictures. It was really lovely to watch the buzz down there by the roundabout and traffic at Champs-Elysees. As the sun was setting it created fabulous photo opportunities over the La Defense neighborhood. On the way down I passed by a quite large gift shop and watched a couple of videos in the lobby right under the roof deck.I saved some time to walk around the Arc and enjoy the beauty of it. Definitely a place to return to when in Paris! Visited in May 2022.

Highly recommend a visit. Watch the stairs though. When we arrived in Paris I wasn't feeling very well but persisted with the climb. Thank goodness there is a rest point, seats, information displays over half way up with the viewing camera looking directly below. Once at the top, you are greeted with 360 views of the beautiful Paris laid out before you. Enjoy the distant views and the amazing feats of endurance, skill and nerve of the drivers circling around the roads below you. Such an amazing monument and totally worth the visit any time of day or night.

It was a great view at the top and the monument itself was beautiful. The only note I would say is don't carry a pocket knife around as you will be denied entry. I was able to sort everything out.

A must visit historical site in Paris in Eiffel Tower district. We walked through the underground tunnel to the ticket window, hardly waited 5 minutes in the line before we got ours. They check your bags and you walk through a scanner. Beware there are quite a few stairs to climb, approximately 284 steps to the first floor on a spiral staircase and then there are more steps to reach the other two floors including the terrace. There's also an elevator to the main floor. From the top one can see the beautiful city. There's a beautiful souvenir shop also where you'll find things, at good prices, stationary is beautiful and I did not find such pretty notebooks anywhere else. Washrooms on the same floor. Once down, there's the tomb of the unknown soldier. Overall great experience!

Wow! It was so much bigger and more awesome than I had imagined. I never knew that you could go to the top. You take a tunnel from the outside edge of the traffic circle and pop up right at the base. The climb up the stairs was strenuous, even though I'm fairly in shape. I was there at sunset & there were a lot of people, mostly trying to catch the Eiffel Tower light show, but they didn't know that the Arc closed before the Eiffel Tower looked really cool. The view over Paris was absolutely spectacular, with the roads all radiating out from that point. It's an experience not to be missed.

Beautiful monument to soldiers and a must see in Paris. Crazy roundabout that surrounds it so be careful, if crossing. Didn’t get a chance to go up to the top but it was amazing to see from the ground. We had fun trying to figure out the traffic pattern too.
Robert C — Google review
I didn't get a chance to get inside but definitely enjoyed walking around it and admiring this architectural art. You can surely take enough photos with it although many people are visiting there every day every hour. Be careful not to pass the road by walking, that's dangerous and wrong. There are different underground passes that will do the work. One of the must visit places in Paris, and looks like it is better to visit it by climbing it up and also getting an astonishing view of Paris.

The Arch is definitely worth the visit once in Paris. There is so much to learn about its history and architecture. It is one of the most famous monuments in Paris, France, standing at the western end of the Champs-Élysées.We visited the arch on a weekday. There was a very long line up and we had to wait for around 15 minutes though we had initially thought we could get easy access with the Paris museum pass.Booking tickets in advance is highly recommended.
Shab — Google review
Famous street and monument. Great spot to take pictures and walk around. Remember that to get in front of the monument you need to walk under the street by taking the stairs down. This will take you directly in front of the monument. Some people are not aware of this and just run through traffic which you’re not supposed to do and is dangerous. Great place and picture spot.
Guillermo R — Google review
Absolutely excellent and well worth a visit, it is especially worth paying for a visit to the top for a spectacular view with some very interesting facts along the way. Be warned there are over 200 steps to the top, however I believe there is an elevator installed for disabled access.We came at an off peak time of year (February) minimal waits and minimal other humans.We also recommend buying tickets in advance as it makes the process much quicker and stress free.

Easy to access by the subway. The lineup wasn't too long and the staff were very helpful with wayfinding. The stairs were a bit of a climb but they were so worth the magnificent view of Paris! Most of the landmarks were visible and during the sunset, it was a beautiful view.

Beautiful arc in the centre of the roundabout and easy to get through by tunnels. Amazing views from the top and I would highly recommend going at night as it’s the perfect place to watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle. I was lucky enough to watch a procession while visiting

Great view at the top, not a bad entry fee at €13 for over 18s. Under 18s do go for free, however I believe they still need to queue up?Would highly recommend booking a ticket online it's way quicker and you don't have to queue for ages.Well maintained, has other parts to it. All round very good.

The climb to the top was very physically demanding. But the view from the top is beautiful! We even saw a ceremony for the unknown soldier when we came back down. Definitely worth a visit, especially in the evening when the whole city lights up! Recommend to purchase a museum pass or book tickets beforehand rather than buying a ticket there.

The Arc de Triomphe was one of the highlights of our trip, ranking among the best monuments we visited. The view from the top was breathtaking, offering a panoramic perspective of the city. Additionally, ascending the monument and reading about the remarkable historical events and evolving political climate over the years was truly fascinating.

Need to take tickets to head up the stairs. View from terrace during the night is fantastic. Pick your ticket around 7.50 PM to view the Eiffel sparkle. It looks fantastic from the top. Make sure you go ahead of your time and reach the roof before 8 PM

This is a very cool monument. It’s worth going near and checking out. Similar to the Eiffel Tower, also didn’t go up this one. Wasn’t overly interested in what the view had to offer.As an aside, can someone please explain to me how on earth the traffic in the roundabout works? It makes absolutely no sense. Stand there for 10 minutes and you will see at least 5 near collisions. It’s absolutely lawless and there are clearly no rules. Someone should figure that out. The John Wick scene is an accurate reflection of what goes on over there.Anyway, make the trip over and check it out for yourself and I’m sure you’ll love it and get some nice photos.
Mark G — Google review
An excellent sightseeing stop. It is free to visit but it seems most people are confused on how to get there. It is in the middle of a huge roundabout and people will stand in-between streets, only see it from afar or try to run across the roundabout which is extremely dangerous. You need to find the stairs going downtown the underground tunnel leading across the street. Please be safe.

A must landmark to visit when in Paris. Recommend a visit to the top of it as well, purchase tickets for about $16 euro for adult. Lots of steep stairs to walk to the top but the view is worth it. Awesome views of Paris!!❤️🇫🇷So much history in this landmark, with a museum inside it u the top. Very popular place with tourists. Go through underground tunnel to get underneath the Arc de Triomphe, and purchase your tickets in the tunnel before exiting.
Ashley S — Google review
This is a cool place to see. It sits in the middle of a round-about, but there are escalators that will take you under the street and back up to visit the Arc. However, I saw many people darting across traffic in groups trying to get to it. For a small fee, you can go to the top.
Eddie W — Google review
Amazing views of the city. Buy tickets ahead of time to skip the line. Be prepared to climb a lot of steps. I would suggest going about 30-45 minutes before sunset and get great pics of the city, and get a spot on the south side facing Eiffel. When the sun goes down the regular lights come on, and the next top of the hour the twinkling lights come on. So if sunset is 7:01 then the twinkle lights start at 8:00 so be prepared to wait if that’s the case. Can be cool and windy up top as well.

Iconic must visit place in Paris. Book tickets online and avoid the lines. This would save you anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. Elevator is only for the disabled so be prepared to walk up the steps. Its not difficult, but just be aware.

The Musée d'Orsay is a world-renowned art museum located in the former railway station of Gare d'Orsay in Paris, France. Its collection spans the period from 1848-1914 and contains some of the most iconic paintings and sculptures produced during that time. The museum is popular with tourists, who visit for its vast array of impressionist and post-impressionist art.
One of my favorite museums in Paris for the temporary and regular exhibitions. The diversity of the collections is simply impressive. Another interesting side is the architecture of the museum. Last and not least the unique restaurant which is a regular step in every visit I do to this place. The view is stunning, the interior is so rich (ceilings, walls,…). I recommend this place with no hesitation!
Ghassan Y — Google review
Our most favorite museum in Paris. It's a wonderland if you are a fan of impressionist art. Admire the location of an old train station with its iconic clock aside from all the wonderful art on display from the greats including Monet, Rembrandt, Picasso, and many others. Prepare to spend half a day here if you really want to soak in the museum. Definitely buy tickets in advance for a timed slot if you do not want to spend hours just in queue, especially if you plan to visit during high season. If you are visiting only one museum in Paris make it this one.

The place is quite big and if you plan to thoroughly go through the museum's all floors I recommend allotting 3-4 hours.The museum itself has many interesting and popular artworks from different times, including contemporary times (exhibitions on second floor). The exhibition hall with Monet, Renoir and Van Gogh was very crowded though.

What an amazing museum. The architecture of the railroad station is a stunning setting for a “modern art” gallery. We were visiting on a Sunday so we started early at 10am. By midday the place was getting pretty busy. I’m glad we got the place to Preakness for a couple of hours. The temporary exhibit about the early years of cinema was really eye opening and beautifully presented. I’ve attached some photos of my favourite pieces.

Wonderful museum holding paintings, sculptures, and creations of world renowned artists. Definitely don't miss it if you're in Paris.Get the tickets online or Paris Museum pass to skip the long line. We went on a Thursday afternoon and it was way less crowded than the Louvre and it felt easier to stroll the museum more leisurely. Much smaller than the Louvre. We spent around 2 and a half hours here and enjoyed it a lot.

I like this museum better than the louvre especially the beautiful room on the second floor and the impressionist and post impressionist displays. Definitely recommend.

I booked tickets without a timeslot and arrived half an hour before the museum opened. I expected to wait in line for a long time but at 9:30 the line moved fast and I went straight in.The museum is very pretty in a renovated train station. I spent almost 4 hours here. There are many beautiful impressionist and post impressionist artworks.

A great museum, large with multiple floors and covers some of history's finest in Van Gogh, Rodin, Monet etc.You can buy tickets online or get them free if you are 18-26 and an EU citizen. Otherwise if you miss the online sales get there early (around 9:00AM) so you can pickup one at the door for €2 less and pop right in.Lots of gift options inside as well as a restaurant and cafe. The building itself is elaborate and beautiful.If sculptures and impressionist paintings aren't your thing don't go here. Otherwise, enjoy!

One of my favorite tourist spots for a first timer for Paris. This museum was easier to tolerate than the Louvre... I find the artworks in here more elegant and stylistic than the classic Louvre, which is boxy and less ornate and incredibly crowded to even stand being in there for an hour. This museum by contrast was easy to see in one visit and it was extremely satisfying.

Can this be anything but five stars? This houses one of the greatest collections of art on the planet. What really surprised me is how manageable it is in terms of size. It’s actually possible to do most of the galleries in one visit. I have not expected that, I think it helps that the grand concourse through the center is a glorious open space, filled with statuary that provides a respite from the intimacy of the galleries

It does not disappoint. My favorite floor was obviously the fifth but there is so much more as well. I had been reading about these paintings for twenty years but to get to see them in person is so different. It felt surreal and I love the layout of the museum and the friendly staff made it feel all the more dream like to me. Just standing in such close proximity to these beautiful pieces of art, that have inspired people for so many years, it was honestly hard to leave. Luckily there are lots of comfortable places to sit and although it’s a busy place for the most part, we felt like we weren’t rushed or that we couldn’t see what we wanted to see. All of the tags are in English and French, and their are English and other language maps available for the whole museum.

Amazing museum. All the paintings was exposed with such an amazing way that was very easy to understand the emotional situation that the artist wanted to show. Do not hesitate to take audio guide.If you do not take you will miss some very important information for the artist. Also there are some very unique collections that unfortunately are only for a few days per year.

Exploring Musée d'Orsay on the first Sunday of the month was a fantastic decision. Not only did we get to experience the museum's world-class collection, but the added bonus of free entrance made the visit even more memorable. The usual entry fee being waived on this day is a thoughtful gesture that allows art enthusiasts and curious minds alike to immerse themselves in the museum's offerings.From the moment we stepped into the grandeur of the building, we were captivated by the architectural beauty that seamlessly blends history with art. The natural light filtering through the iconic clock windows added a touch of enchantment to the entire experience. The layout of the museum is well-planned, allowing us to navigate through the different sections with ease.The vast array of artworks, especially the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, left us in awe. Standing face-to-face with iconic paintings and sculptures that we had only seen in books was an exhilarating feeling. The informative plaques beside each exhibit provided valuable insights into the artist's life and creative process, enhancing our understanding and appreciation.The staff at Musée d'Orsay deserves special mention for their warmth and knowledge. They were more than happy to answer our questions and engage in discussions about the art pieces, making the visit even more enriching.Visiting the Musée d'Orsay on the first Sunday of the month was not only a smart way to save on entrance fees but also an opportunity to connect with art and history on a deeper level. This initiative reflects the museum's commitment to making art accessible to all, and we left with a renewed sense of appreciation for the artistic wonders housed within its walls.

Ha! Things are never like in the movies! Have seen small portions of this museum, 1 or 2 folks pass by as the star sits quietly, contemplating the picture. Yeah, right!Never has happened; I went through the museum on a weekday, and it was fairly crowded. From what I could tell and comments from some folks who have been there before, crowds are the norm.One example is the Mona Lisa, right? I was able to get through a crowd of non-moving folks just standing there. Fortunately, I have long arms able to elevate my arms up high enough to get a job picture. I think.Absolutely a must visit when in Paris! Only note I would add is that you really need days, if not weeks to fully see and enjoy all of this world class museum.

My favorite museum in the world. The setting in a former train station is completely unique and impressive.

This is the best museum I've been to because they carry so many of my favorite painters (the impressionists like Van Gogh, Cezanne, Manet,etc). This was better than the Louvre as it had a better collection in my opinion, but also because it was more manageable and had less people. The louvre was insanely crowded.

Amazingly beautiful building, the entry fee is worth it just to see the architecture. There are lots of historic art depicting culturally significant events/people/landscapes in the lower sections. However, the impressionist and more modern art of Gauguin, Van Gogh and Monet were amazingly beautiful and I was deeply moved. Would highly recommend.

We visited the fantastic Musée d'Orsay in Paris in the morning to avoid the crowds. Prior to our visit, we had pre-booked our tickets, making it effortless for us to gain admission without waiting in line. The museum is a must-visit for art lovers, as it boasts one of the most significant collections of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. We were amazed by the vast collection - we had never seen anything like it before! Seeing the artworks that we had only previously seen in art books in person was incredible.

Absolutely loved this museum. I recommend starting in the impressionist art because there are a ton of gems here and it can be easy to get overwhelmed and tired. We went through the art eras that we appreciated the most and then were able to cruise through the other art and sculpture during the second half of the day. Came during the free Sunday visit and highly recommend to purchase tickets ahead of time to skip the crazy long wait lines

One of the centerpieces of Paris, likely the most renowned museum after the Louvre. You can see some artists like Van Gogh, Claude Monet and Renoir, but to be quite honest they are not the ones stealing the show.The temporary exhibitions were great, but the most beautiful thing about the museum is the renovated railway station it's set in. Here you can witness some seriously breathtaking halls full of art and the sheer scale gives creeps. The building broke me. It's beautiful.Be warned, though. This is a huge museum and you'll probably need a better part of the day to see it.As a bonus, if you're under 26 years old and are a student in the European Economic Area, you can enter free of charge.It's free!

The world's most popular art museum, the Louvre houses a vast collection of artefacts from all over the world. With iconic masterpieces like Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and two statues from Greece, it is no wonder why the Louvre is so popular. With rooms devoted to furniture, tapestries, and ornate objects, there is something for everyone at the Louvre Museum.

Quite a lot of work of arts. I saw the highlights, but wished I could have seen more. Will go back definitely. We walked about three km and focused on about three statues and the Mona Lisa. It was amazing to learn a bit about the history of the museum and where all the art came from. Great to see the Mona Lisa in low season. I recommend seeing it when it’s not high season.

Visiting the Louvre was truly an amazing experience. The museum is home to some of the most renowned artworks and historical artifacts in the world, and I was in awe of the sheer beauty and cultural significance that surrounded me. From iconic masterpieces like the Mona Lisa to ancient Egyptian sculptures, the Louvre offers an incredible collection that spans centuries of human creativity.However, one challenge I encountered during my visit was the overwhelming crowd. The Louvre is undoubtedly a popular tourist attraction, and it attracts visitors from all over the globe. As a result, certain areas of the museum can become quite crowded, making it a bit challenging to fully appreciate the artworks in a peaceful and relaxed manner.Nonetheless, despite the crowds, the Louvre remains a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts and history buffs. The grandeur of the museum's architecture itself is worth admiring, and the vastness of its collection ensures that there is something to captivate every visitor. To make the most of your visit, I would recommend arriving early in the day or considering a weekday visit to avoid the peak tourist hours.Overall, the Louvre offers an extraordinary journey through art and history, and even with the crowds, the experience is still incredibly enriching. Standing face-to-face with iconic masterpieces is a humbling and awe-inspiring encounter that I will cherish forever. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend exploring the Louvre and immersing yourself in the world of art and culture it has to offer.

The largest and most impresive and beautiful museum I have ever been to, it is a multiple day endeavor: After selectively stopping for specific masterpieces, it took me 5 hours just to get to see half of the exhibition.

What more to be said than everything that's written during the years about the worldwide famous Louvre museum. Yes, it is extremely big. Yes, you can spend days and days discovering the collection. Yes, the Mona Lisa is really small. Yes, the museum is overcrowded by people. Yes, there's a long waiting line. Inside this information is where the museum's only problem is hidden, It's too much of the good thing. There are so many objects and paintings in every room that it's almost impossible to focus on one thing. The Louvre does a great job in showing how versatile their collection is, but there isn't a lot of information in every room about what you're looking at. It would be an improvement if they leave more space between every painting, so you can have a good look at all the details. The building itself and the entrance with the pyramid are impressive, a pure joy to enter. Be sure to take your time or just focus on certain parts of the museum, as you'll probably lose time and be there the whole day. 4.5/5.0

This is the quintessential art museum in a city of world class art museums.

The complex is so incredible as to be overwhelming.

This place is huge and one of the most visited places on earth. The museum has so much to offer and learn from, so be prepared to spend hours there (one day isn’t enough to explorehalf of the museum).A beautiful museum with timeless and priceless artifacts, which will leave you awestruck. It’s a must see in Paris.Kindly book your tickets in advance and all roads will lead to the “Mona Lisa”.

Didn’t expect much, and was a bit surprised. It’s a nice experience with many many art pieces, among other things. It was pretty crowded and quite hard to navigate, but it’s expected for it’s size and popularity. Also, As an EU student under 25, the entrance was completely free, which is insane and thanks to France or whoever did that.

Stunning!Starting from the outside - the building itself is a sight to see. It is totally understandable why it used to be an imperial palace. Great location for beautiful pictures of Paris. The molding and the statues on the building are impressive.Moving on to the inside - the building is just as impressive. The ceilings are a work of art itself. The corridors are very spacious and nice to walk through.Walls and walls of art, literally every style and time period you can imagine. Statues, gold, plates, rugs, mantles, paintings, Crown Jewels and many more.The only downside of the Louvre is that it is GIANT, so please plan your trip ahead! Otherwise you won't see everything you'd like to see because you will run out of time.We did not see the Mona Lisa, it was too crowded. But I was not sad about that, other works of art were even more impressive than the Mona Lisa.

Although it took a little time to queue up, about 1-hour. But the Louvre is a very worthwhile place. It was used for three hours that day, which was only part of the visit to the Louvre. It is recommended that it takes 4-5 hours to visit the whole Louvre.

Please read below!-Buy your tickets in advance!-If there’s a chance of rain bring appropriate gear as you queue outside to get in.-Ensure you have several hours free!-Download the map, it’s a life saver-plenty of food and drink at all price ranges available inside.-toilets are few and far between in the main wings, and the toilets in the main entrance get VERY busy, especially the ladies.Audio guides available and recommended. If you want to see the famous Mona Lisa get in as early as possibly and head straight there! We did and got to the front for a fantastic view of the lady herself and it really made our day!Be warned in advance this place is HUGE. We were there for 4hrs and still didn’t manage to see everything to its fullest extent. We bee lined to all our favourites and must sees. And then enjoyed the rest of the venue and a more gentle pace.Simply stunning , we’d love to go again one day!Highly recommend.

Went there several times and have yet to understand how to find the Mona Lisa in one go (I’m the worst tour guide).As for reservations:- Make an online reservation beforehand (on the same day is fine) so that you don’t have to wait in line in front of the pyramid, you’ll scan your ticket super quickly (real time saver).- If you aren’t an original EU citizen but are currently studying here, you’ll need to bring your student ID and a pic of your visa (student ID or ID alone doesn’t suffice) to get free entry.

The most visited museum in the world, home of some of the most famous paintings like Mona Lisa, Liberty Leading The People. Ticket prebuy is recommended. There are cafes with reasonable prices in the museum. Have a bottle of water with you, it will take 2-3 hours or more to finish. Quite crowded.

It's worth the wait in the cold, windy weather. It's much well designed, organized, and displayed than the British museum. The Persian and Egyptian sections were magnificent. The food service is not too expensive and the sandwiches and salad are actually fresh and tasty.

It was an amazing experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and nice. So much history and amazing art to see. The Louvre building is incredible, it took 800 years to build. The architecture is breathtaking, I highly recommend this. Purchase a tour so you can skip the line.

Amazing, magnificent, beautiful, impressive architecture, breathtaking, only some of the words to describe it.We bought online tickets months before and still waited for over 30 mins to get in since mornings are packed.The number one exhibit was the Mona Lisa.The museum is extremely large and unable to see everything in a day, but we were able to see most of the popular highlights and exhibits.Our hotel was very close walking distance, and we walked by at night, the pyramid was bright and the whole atmosphere blew me away, amazing!!Definitely my favorite in all of Paris.Once in a lifetime and must visit.

I highly recommend purchasing tickets, especially for weekend visits. After all, it's 2024! You'll have a fantastic time immersing yourself in this museum for a full day. It boasts an impressive collection of historical artifacts, including the iconic Mona Lisa. It's truly worth every penny, and it's the largest museum I've had the pleasure of exploring.

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The 13th-century Notre Dame Cathedral is famous for its spire, gargoyles, and intricate Gothic architectural details. The cathedral was almost destroyed in a 2019 fire but some of the buildings that survived include the South Rose Window and archaeological crypt.
Breathtaking architecture as always. I have visited the cathedral before the fire and currently after it. It is really sad to get to see how the fire impacted it you cannot go inside anymore and all you can see is the outside of it now. Still beautiful and worth looking into it from the outsideCurrently under construction. All of our hearts broke with the tragic huge fire, but we have hope that the cathedral will be back. The plan is to restore in the 19th Century design, and at this time is is under construction. Lots of work around. Heartening to come and witness the rebirth.
MariuS — Google review
This is by far, one of the most beautiful and dazzling cathedrals I have ever visited, maybe also because of all the story behind it. The architecture is amazing and just being there is an out of this world experience. Everything gels near this spot and there are so many options for the visitors nearby to go as well.I had the opportunity to visit short before the fire in 2019 and I could see it inside and from the top too. I hope they finish restoring it sometime soon as nothing beats going inside it and seeing Paris from its top tower.So, I hope to come back soon. I recommend this visit 100% 🙌🏼

This church within the heart of Paris is an absolute must-see. Here, you'll experience amazing Gothic architecture and history. Whenever it's able to repoen, I'd urge everyone to see this in person at least once in their lives. It's truly breathtaking. Note that the pictures are from before the unfortunate fire.

This famous cathedral is simply impressive, even if it is half covered by scaffolding and is closed to the public. We enjoyed walking around the outside and reading all the informative signs. Amazing to think how old it is and that construction took 400 years! It is great to see it being restored and will be very interesting to tour once it is completed.

When I visited Notre-Dame, it was closed due to the fire, so I couldn't see much. However, the sight of the cathedral, even from the outside, evoked a sense of awe and reverence. It's a beautiful building.

So we just got here on Christmas Eve and this was one of the must sees for us. Well unfortunately it was closed for work. So we were not able to go inside but it was still one of the most amazing cathedrals we’ve seen. It looks from the look of the construction it is going to be even better. You can still good views of it so it is still a must stop to take a look

A lot people of visit this place although everyone knows it’s currently being rebuilt again after the fire incident(couple of years ago). There are some really nice places around and nice restaurants around from kebabs, Indian and Middle Eastern and Turkish etc. Perfect place for lunch, snack and dinner. just across the bridge there’s famous Shakespeare and company cafe. Really busy place to be honest. I would love to spend few hours around this place. If you are using big bus then there’s a stop just across the street.

Revisit this again, after the fire. Even though we cannot get inside, there are still lots of people in the plaza, admiring the Cathedrale from outside. There are also lots of information board addressing the reconstruction plans, pointing out interesting features, and so on. Still an interesting stop in my short revisit of the city.

Beautiful Parisian site to see while visiting the city. It’s currently closed for tours but the outside is open for site-seeing. It’s just beautiful. The whole place is big—a lot of art and detail to try and process. Coupled with the history of the location, it’s a lot to wrap your mind around. The area is beautiful as well. The cathedral is close to metro stations, and is built for foot traffic.ale sure to add this to your list of must-sees during your time in Paris.

It is a cathedral with a breathtaking architecture. However, after the fire that broke out in April 2019, restoration work of the cathedral is still underway. Hence the visitors are not allowed to enter the cathedral yet (as of April 2022). You can get a magnificent view of the cathedral from outside, if you go on a River Seine cruise at dusk.

Still beautiful despite the barriers in place. Viewing platform was busy mid week but is off centre so you’ll get a better photo from the ground anyway! Good for a quick bit of admiration! Lots of local bars and cafes

It was disappointing that 3/4 of the structure was covered/surrounded by tall metal panels that you couldn’t see through. Even though it’s burned and under construction I would have loved to see more of it. They erected a set of bleachers on the square for the public to sit and look at the front, but to see any of the rest you have to cross the Siene to see over the panels and through the scaffolding.

Historical and beautiful cathedral that is a must visit when in Paris. A lot of people outside church playing music and hanging out. The fence around the church details facts and stories of this church like when it was built and what happened the day it unfortunately caught on fire. It details all the damage it suffered and much more. Apparently the church is supposed to open again for visit in the fall of 2024. Hopefully next time I visit it will be open for tourists again.
Guillermo R — Google review
While it was closed at the time due to the reconstruction work it's still an impressive site. At present there are various displays on the surrounding fences detailing the history and work taking place to restore the Cathedral to its former magnificence.To one side there is a large stepped platform where you can climb up to take a photo or simply sit and enjoy the view.

Great historical building but nicer churches nearby. The amount of tourists and traffic mean the atmosphere here is hectic and not enjoyable, even without the reconstruction efforts the volume of people and cars mean the area is packed, loud and not solemn.

Even though the Cathedral was closed, due to the work of restoration, still there are different displays all around the church that show you the inside as well as detailing the different works necessary to bring the cathedral to its original glory. The Cathedral looks really beautiful also from the outside and even though it is temporarily closed still there are a lot of people who visit it, just to get a glimpse of it.

This is a beautiful building, we visited during the rebuilding after the huge fire, it was still amazing and can’t wait to return once she reopens to the public. 10/10 for history and architecture, to forgot to take a visit into the underground crypt next to the cathedral it is well worth a visit.

It's a really beautiful place. Doesn't matter if it's winter, autumn, summer or if it's sunny or rainy. It will always be an iconic place. The place is not open to the public yet, but you can sit outside and take pictures in front of the building. Sometimes others come here and do some kind of performance here and there are places to sit and watch the performances with the Notre Dame on the back.You will find painters in the near, also in front of or there is another beautiful church, the Abbey Bookshop and the Oldest Tree in Paris. So, a lot to see in this area. Enjoy yourself here.

Awe inspiring cathedral still under restoration & not open.

Even though we didn’t get to go in, just seeing the cathedral & witnessing the restoration is worth the visit.

I visited Notre Dame today. I was aware the project will not be completed until the end of 2024 but was amazed at the large viewing platform that so many went to sit to be close to a much cherished building.

Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is a stunning 17th-century chateau surrounded by formal gardens, offering a remarkable blend of architecture and natural beauty. The interior is steeped in history, with well-preserved decor elements that transport visitors to the XVIII century. The audio guide provides an engaging tour, complementing the overall experience. A highlight is the impressive kitchen, adding to the chateau's allure. Visitors can also enjoy dining at the on-site restaurant and bar area.

Beautiful castle though quite pricey. Well cared for and a well done audio guide in the price included.Impressive and important in history. A nice visit. Our daughter of 6 even enjoyed it. The food in the self service restaurant at the beginning is a recommendation!There is much to see and discover. If your kids want to dress up, they need to be at the dress room between 12 and 14.

This is an absolutely incredible place. The chateau is beautiful and you are able to tour so many rooms. They have a great audio tour in many languages that is really well done. The gardens are wonderful. You are able to walk for hours if you choose. They do rent golf carts if you want to get around quicker. This is a highly recommended place that is no too far out of Paris.

Many people think this is the most beautiful chateau in France. There ia a parking just in the front gardens close at 7 pm but the last access to the chateau is at 4:45. We arrived at 4:30 and it was just for us nobody was there the parking was empty and only a small group of people in the castle. Highly recommended.

The audio guide through the hunting lodge adds real flair to the experience. Makes you feel why other similar castles of sorts can't provide more sanitary and easier to hear over-the-ear headphones, AS WELL AS automatic audio as you step into each alcove instead of having you punch in buttons. The audio speaks like a story but I won't spoil it for you.There are scenes of the kitchens that remind me of the elaborate dark rides in Disneyland. The outer gardens are enormous and you can rent golf carts to get around speedily.

Simply the most magical and magnificent historic moment in all of France... possibly all of Europe. Better than Versailles. Go go go see it. You won't be disappointed. It was an honor just to go. Plan to spend an entire day. Clean bathroom and great food as well. Cart rentals to see the grounds are available and worth the small fee.

Better than Versailles in my opinion. Gorgeous, very well cared for, the staff are pleasant, and the audio tour is a theatricality done history which is quite well executed. Also, way less crowded than Versailles and other places. A reasonably priced cafe and you could actually have a picnic. Highly recommend! I've spent a lot of time in France and it gets my top recommendation.

Beautiful house with a fascinating but sad history. A lot of passion went into planning this house and gardens. We spent an extra 5 euros to go up to the dome where we could look out. I recommend this if you are agile. The spiral staircase to the top is narrow. My mom is 85 and she did it, though. Spectacular views at the top.

It was a great experience to be out in the French countryside and learn a bit of history without the massive crowds similar to Versailles. Taking a golf buggy around the grounds was a fun way to see everything and take pictures as quickly as you can. Food was very traditional French fare in the restaurant, which was an experience by itself (Andouille sausages, for example).A must for anyone who wants to experience chateaus without being overwhelmed by the crowds.

How there are not more visitors at this chateau is completely beyond me, it is unquestionably superior to so many of the larger chateaus that receive more visitors. It is such a marvel of architecture and the way it compliments the gardens is perfection. The inside of the house is full of history with a good tour.A walk to the Hercules statue is an absolute must and not too far. The view from the statue down over the chateau is incredible and really gives perspective.The little kiosk outside does lovely crepes as well!

The theme park Astérix Park is located in France and is dedicated to the stories of Asterix. It features family-friendly rides, shows, and costumed comic book characters.
Parc Astérix is one of the most famous park in France, everybody knows Astérix and Obelix The characters of the comic strip of the same name, What a pleasure to enter their universe and discover a park for young and more especially at this end-of-year period when the magic of Christmas continues with the shows, the Christmas markets, the enchanting setting and especially the end-of-day fireworks to fill our eyes even more. We were delighted and amazed at that day.

Fairly compact park, so 4 year old can walk. Though letting people get some stroller like devices could be beneficial. Some rides do not mention height at the entrance, so check your paper map of the park to avoid waiting in line for no reason.This paper is the ONLY source of height requirements for kids accompanied by adults. I think approx 2/3 of rides can be done by persons above 1m height. 3 year old boy enjoyed all the rides. Water rides usually makes you wet in this park, except one big water rubber tire ride.Public Holiday early June had 1 hour waiting lines for the most popular ride, few had more than 20-40 minutes. You can pay extra to enter at the exit lanes. Plenty of WC, no lineups.App is in English and useful to know lineup times, everything else about this park is in French. App does not show height requirements, also web does not, except sometimes for adults.Hotel bookings give you 30 min early access to 3 rides, only 1 of these are available for persons at 1m height - none below this height.Though along a Paris toll road, you do not need to pay toll to access the park if coming from nearby onramp suggested by Google maps.

Absolutely amazing, loved it so much. The best amusem*nt park I've ever been to. The rides were very fast and wild, but safe of course. Highly recommend to anyone. Its better to come by private vehicle if you can. There is no direct bus or train to the park. Usually you could take RER B and get off at the airport and find the Park Asterix bus and proceed from there. RER B was not working on the day we left, so we had to resort to taking the direct airport bus, which was packed and overflowing with people. So just keep that in mind.

The parc itself is ok, and would have been a 4/5 if it hadn’t been for the multiple rides that broke down (multiple times) during our visit, including one while we were on it. Parking was also a bit disorganized, with employees taking payment upon entering using a paper ticket. And even though it was very busy, at least half of the concession stands were closed, meaning long queues at the ones that were open. Compared to other parcs in Europe (Europa or Efteling), this isn’t quite up to par.

Nice park with thrilling experiences.Not as crowed as Disney, and very recommendable if you are an Asterix fan.The only thing I would point out is that all the shows and signs are in french and there is not translation to any other language, so sometimes it is hard to understand what they are saying.Anyway, amazing experience.

Can't believe it took me this long to visit, but normally we drive past on our way to Disneyland and then we've had our share of theme park excitement for a while.

Brilliant and cheap alternative to Disneyland. The rides are brilliant, plenty for the under 1m children. If you go through the week you pay less when booking online. Good at the park is a decent price also but if you can take a packed lunch, it’s an extremely cheap day out. I paid €160 for 5 of us for the whole day. Be aware that it’s €20 to park in their car parks for the whole day but it’s well worth it.

Parc Astérix has been on my places to visit for a very long time, and with the announcement of Touatis, their new launched coaster - I decided it was time to book that trip! After staying the night at their on-site hotel Les Quais de Lutèce (see my separate 5 star review for that) we headed on into the park for a very long day.As it was their Peur sur le Parc event when we visited, the park was open from 9am until 1am! I didn't think there would be enough to keep us entertained for that long - but I was wrong.Parc Astérix is a truly excellent theme park, it's well themed, has a fantastic selection of rides and attractions and is operated with maximum efficiency - meaning that even an extremely busy Saturday around Halloween, most wait times for major coasters didn't go over an hour. The only other park I've seen in Europe with this level of efficiency is Europa Park in Germany.There are some truly outstanding roller coasters in their lineup. Toutatis is their new for 2023 launched roller coaster, and this thing packs a punch. It's absolutely outstanding, but really comes to life in the back rows, especially at night - what a ride! OzIris is another incredible ride, and is now my favourite suspended roller coaster in the world (and I've ridden over 20 of them) - it's simply a delight to ride and the back row is incredibly intense and fun at the same time.There are plenty of other notable rides that I enjoyed, including Tonnerre 2 Zeus, a massive and relentless wooden coaster, Pegasus Express, a unique a fun family roller coaster and Trace Du Hourra, the longest bobsled roller coaster I’ve ever been on. There’s also a great selection of other rides and attractions, as well as plenty of water rides for the summer - Romus & Rapidus were some especially fun river rapids!The Halloween event Peur sur le Parc was absolutely fantastic. We stayed all day, and riding their rides in the dark was really spectacular. The park is really well decorated, and offers so many different horror mazes and attractions, and all were such high quality too. Honestly, it was one of the best days out I’ve had in a very long time.Overall, the whole park is incredible, and I would happily visit Parc Astérix over Disneyland Paris any day. They seem to really care about their park and guests, and it really shows throughout the whole experience. I look forward to seeing what they build in the future to make it even better!

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The cathedral of Notre Dame d'Amiens is a 13th-century Gothic edifice famous for its lavish decoration and carvings, with two unequal towers. It is considered one of the best examples of Gothic art, and is one of the largest medieval cathedrals in the world. With a surface area of 7,700 square meters, it could easily fit a football pitch.
One of the most beautiful cathedrals I have seen in my life due to the fact that it is quite old, with preserved orginal patterns and not very well-known! It has an amazing exterior and also an interior that you can enter for free! 😌

Eindrucksvoll. Schöner Vorplatz. Leider sind innen viele Schutznetze montiert, die vor herabfallendem Mauerwerk schützen sollen. Daher sind innen kaum gute Fotos von den schönen Kirchenfenstern möglich.(Translated by Google)Impressively. Nice forecourt. Unfortunately, there are many protective nets installed inside to protect against falling masonry. Therefore, it is difficult to take good photos of the beautiful church windows inside.

Must see is the Chroma light and sound show telling the history around which this Gothic Beauty of a Cathedral has withstood... Simply just AWESOME.P.S remember to walk around the left side of the Cathedral after the show there are after show light shows on all the buildings in the Cathedral Gardens.P.P.S and it's on the way to the cafés, pubs and clubs by L'Petit Hommes in the river

Als größte gotische Kirche Frankreichs beeindruckt die Kathedrale durch ihre schiere Größe und die wunderschönen Details. Beim Betreten war ich sofort von den hohen Gewölben und dem lichtdurchfluteten Innenraum überwältigt. Die kunstvollen Skulpturen und die farbenprächtigen Glasfenster sind einfach atemberaubend. Ein besonderes Highlight war das Labyrinth auf dem Kirchenboden.Die Kathedrale wurde 1220 begonnen und war bis 1270 größtenteils fertiggestellt, was ihre fast acht Jahrhunderte währende Geschichte unterstreicht. Sie diente nicht nur als religiöses Zentrum, sondern auch als gesellschaftlicher Treffpunkt und ist bis heute ein wichtiger Pfeiler der Gemeinschaft in Amiens. Die Kapazität der Kathedrale ist beeindruckend, da sie etwa 10.000 Menschen Platz bieten kann, was ihre Bedeutung als Versammlungsort hervorhebt.Neben ihrer architektonischen Pracht beherbergt die Kathedrale auch zahlreiche Kunstschätze, darunter das bemerkenswerte Labyrinth, das traditionell als Pilgerpfad diente, und die Reliquie des Heiligen Johannes des Täufers, die besonders verehrt wird. Die Fassade ist reich verziert und spiegelt die Hochgotik wider, bekannt für ihre komplexe Symbolik und filigrane Steinmetzarbeit.1981 wurde die Kathedrale von Amiens von der UNESCO zum Weltkulturerbe erklärtDie Kathedrale ist für Liebhaber von Kunst, Geschichte und Architektur definitiv ein Muss.(Translated by Google)As the largest Gothic church in France, the cathedral impresses with its sheer size and beautiful details. Upon entering, I was immediately overwhelmed by the high vaults and the light-filled interior. The ornate sculptures and colorful stained glass windows are simply breathtaking. A special highlight was the labyrinth on the church floor.The cathedral was begun in 1220 and was mostly completed by 1270, highlighting its history spanning nearly eight centuries. It not only served as a religious center, but also as a social meeting place and is still an important pillar of the community in Amiens today. The cathedral's capacity is impressive as it can accommodate approximately 10,000 people, highlighting its importance as a gathering place.In addition to its architectural splendor, the cathedral is also home to numerous artistic treasures, including the remarkable labyrinth, which traditionally served as a pilgrimage route, and the relic of Saint John the Baptist, which is particularly revered. The facade is richly decorated and reflects the High Gothic style, known for its complex symbolism and delicate stone carving.In 1981, Amiens Cathedral was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCOThe cathedral is definitely a must-see for lovers of art, history and architecture.

Fantastic external decoration with all the figures. The main door arch is an incredible sight. The square in front is surprisingly plain in comparison but makes for a relaxing atmosphere in spite of the many large groups of children being given their history lessons. I am not a history buff but would not have missed it.

OK, I like visiting historic churches and cathedrals, so unless I find it hideously expensive or in a very poor state when it is advertised as something wonderful I'm going to give it a good review.But as Cathedrals go, it was particularly impressive.

Amazing Roman Catholic cathedral in almost perfect condition! Very interesting interior.. I saw the portrait of Jesus in very different styles, there’s a labyrinth in the center of the ground.

Theme park
Water & Amusem*nt Parks
Parc Walt Disney Studios is one of the two theme parks that make up Disneyland Paris, featuring areas dedicated to movie and TV related attractions. It may not be as large as the main park, however it offers rides more suitable for younger children such as the popular Cars ride. The Hollywood Tower and Ratatouille are considered to be two of the main attractions in this park, which boasts a beautiful setting and aims to create an atmosphere reminiscent of Walt Disney's production studios.
Not as big as the main park but I found this to be better for my 2 year old as the rides were more to his liking and he really enjoyed the Cars ride, he had to go on it countless times. Unfortunately the section where they did the stunt show wasn’t open which was a shame as my son would have loved that show but he enjoyed it nonetheless.

This is not my first amusem*nt park and I have something to compare. If we consider that this park is 30 years old, then a lot can be done indulgence. Compared to Disney World in Orlando, this Disneyland in Paris is nowhere near.There are a lot of old attractions, with old chairs, against which the head beats very hard during the attraction. I think that for children under 10-12 years old it can still be interesting. The attraction Flight to the Moon, converted into Star Wars, looks unconvincing and ridiculous. We visited 2 parks here. Here are the attractions that are definitely worth a visit: Hotel Hollywood, Ratatouille, Cars, Star Tour, Pirates, RC Racer, Riverboat, Parachute drop.Convenient location, right next to the metro station. There are fountains with drinking water in the park.Park security is good. We had a Swiss folding knife with us, which was not allowed at the entrance. We left it in the luggage room at the metro station.

Great park. I love the Avengers Campus. There's lots to do here and you can dodge the queues using the app. It gets quiet here in the evening so aim for the bigger rides then.

We had booked a 2-day ticket for both parks in advance, then spent a full day at Disneyland and a full day at Studios. Beautiful and quite exhausting. Good preparation is important - snacks, water, comfortable shoes and sunscreen. Plan your time wisely, it can get very exhausting. Food and drinks are available in small snack bars or restaurants (don't forget to make reservations), prices for them are quite high.There are a lot of stores with souvenirs, so plan a little extra money.Queues at the rides can be very long, sometimes up to and over an hour. We occasionally bought the paid Premier Access to skip waiting time. A quick option can also be the Single Ride entrance, you don't sit next to your partner, but you don't have to wait in line as long.After 9 p.m., the queues get much shorter. If you don't necessarily want to watch the fireworks every night (or are satisfied with back rows), it's the best option to wait in line only for a short time.We loved that you can meet your superhero in person, either with booked appointments or random walking in the street.Make nice memories and have fun!

I went to Disneyland Paris with my family and we really enjoyed it. Lots of rides to enjoy from and the best part is we could take our son along except for one or two rides which had height requirements. I would recommend to visit both parks as they have their distinctive attractions. One park so the Disneyland park which has its attractions based off their most iconic characters. The other park is the Walt Disney park which has its Marvel themed attractions and rides and many more associated with their motion pictures characters. But if you do plan to visit Disneyland Paris then please don’t miss the Lion long live because it takes you on a nostalgic journey and it’s absolutely worth the money

It is not the main park but in my opinion it contains two of the main attractions of Disneyland Paris, the Hollywood Tower and the Ratatouille.The park is very beautiful and the atmosphere it intends to create is that we are in the Walt Disney Studios.You can easily visit in the morning and in the afternoon go to the main park.

Very nice experience.I suggest to buy the fast line pass. Because the lines and amount of people are huge. You can only enjoy 4 or 5 of the games because of the crouds. The least game to wait for without the pass is 60 minutes to 70 minutes. I regret not having the pass.

Not everything is "perfect" but what is?A lot of thoughts on details and very friendly staff through and through.Great for all little guests and Disney fans. For everyone else also great to see at least once.You feel the magic as characters walking through the park show as much attention to adults as to the little ones. Everyone is special here!

Great short weekend getaway!! A couple of things:1. You must buy your tickets in advance2. It’s not too big and not too small3. Disneyland Paris has their own champagne and it is a must try for all adults!!!4. Wear good walking shoes because you’ll be walking a ton!5. The food and snacks are a must try treat6. It’s mostly in French (for people that are curious) very little things have other language optionsOne of the happiest places on earth!!!

I'm a huge Disney fan and have been to both US parks multiple times, so it bothers me to not give 5 stars. The reason for withholding one is due to the size. It's a very small park and you can do everything in about a half day. Plans to add lands and expansions will help. What is there is really nice and the Avengers coaster is a lot of fun. It's a nice park, just not one you'll spend a while day at.

It was great to re-live my childhood while being here. What astonished me was attention to detail and absolute perfection in terms of atmosphere. Few rides broke down, which is understandable. I had only one problem with the park, and it's a big one: despite the astounding atmosphere, I was quickly and often disillusioned by cash-grab attempts at every turn. Official merchandise is ridiculously expensive to a point where I wouldn't even consider buying anything. Queues at every ride kept reminding me that this is the punishment for not paying an additional 200€ for Premier pass. I would have definitely left more money in the park if everything wasn't so ridiculously expensive.

I visited this park in November and in January.I can say it's the worst disneypark. I wouldn't recommend you pay for it unless you get it by your stay in the hotel.The attractions are not well mentioned, and you can do everything you like in the afternoon.There are only 2 attractions that are worth to visit, these are ratatouille and the Hollywood tower. Spiderman can be fun, but I can't say it's something special. They avengers rollercoaster is not a piece of art, but it can be fun to do (for the coaster itself and the iron man inside).I really did not like the crush coaster. It feels like the biggest self insult of disney. Their are like 2 themed areas inside the coaster. The rest of the coaster is half black and absolutely not disney quality but more that of a cheap park.What about the Marvel extension? It's.. pretty underwhelming, all I can say.That you can see some heroes is fun. Also, the Avengers rollercoaster looks fun at night.The park feels like a full identity crisis. I also hope that this will be solved with future extensions.But for now... the park is only worth visiting for the shows, ratatouille and hollywood tower.

LOVED. Definitely buy tickets in advance. I would also really recommend buying the rapid pass because I was waiting in line for so long. It is okay without it... Just make sure to have a charger with you. Also!! Bring a backpack. When you go on rides, you will have to put your belongings behind your legs so the bigger the better.

New visit May 2024 - if you are currently contemplating a visit I’d wait, so disappointed to see the whole park covered in building work hoardings, I can understand the new Frozen area but this is everywhere and ruins the whole feel of the park as you can’t see the theming, they really should warn people or offer reduced prices.June 2023 - Lovely park, it's a bit small but once they finish the lake and Frozen land it should be more substantial. It's a pity they aren't adding Galaxy Edge (yet) despite the artwork everywhere.Queue times given the size are fairly large, especially for Crush's coaster which was often over 100 minutes and easily reached an hour during the Magic Hour.The cars ride was closed which was disappointing especially as there's no Disaster Canyon here and this uses the same concept.The new Avengers Campus is really just Rock n Roller coaster rebranded (always short queues strangely) and the Spiderman ride which whilst fun, it's just another shooter with screens.Tower of Terror is brilliant as usual although different to the US version in that you enter the lift shaft and the ride begins immediately, there's no moving through the building section.

What a beautiful place to have fun.If you go on a weekday, you will still be able to take a lot of good photos. If you go on weekends there will be more fun activities.In terms of buying tickets, you should buy tickets in advance to enjoy special offers or promotions or dresses for children and the elderly.Public transportation is also very convenient, you just need to search on Google map or ask anyone to go here very easily.

First of all this is a really great park, I visited twice and every time it is like a dream come true. Excellent decorations, extraordinary and fast rides, literally one of the best places on earth no joke. Anyone can find something in this park that will blow their mind and be their thing. Anything in there is possible.Now the part that I am very unfortunate to write about, since my first visit there, something huge happened. They cancelled the fast-pass. To those who don't know it's a free way of "scheduling" yourself on a later hour so you can enter within 10 MAX. What they did instead is crazy (understandable because of financial reasons), you can pay 8€ per ride in order to get in quickly OR pay 1 7 0 € for a fast pass in multiple rides, that's wrong! So what? Now I can enjoy the park fully by paying almost twice the price of a ticket! Queues on a very normal weekday in September were between 40-70 minutes per ride, imagine wasting 4 hours just on standing! A not so financially stable family that would dream about coming here would waste a third of the day of a very expensive ticket on standing???Well, I guess that is what helps Disneyland financially but that's devastating. I enjoyed it anyway and recommend you to visit and experience a one in a lifetime experience.

Fantastic experience, except restaurants and toilets are very bad and dirty. Parc is so clean, very impressive.Lots of guests and queues, but opportunity to buy fast track will make you skip the lines.Brings lots of snacks for the queues, if you have small kids.You can bring your own lunch and soft drinks to save money, there are benches where you can enjoy your brought food. And believe me the food there isn’t good at all so bring something with you like grab and go.Download the Disneyland app to have a map on your phone, where you can easily filter, whether you are looking for a toilet, a show or restaurant.In the Disney app you can also see waiting times, so it isn’t necessary to download the waiting time app. I recommend that you do research in advance, so you have an idea of what you would like to see. For instance there was 90 min waiting for having a picture with a princess.If you only have one day, I read that you should go for the Disneyland park. But I see why, they recommend that you use several days, as you spend a lot of time standing in lines.

Happiest place on earth !Me and my partner loved every minute of it, soon as you walk through the gates you get this overwhelming feeling of excitement.

Disneyland Paris is like stepping into a magical world. It's a place where every corner is filled with fun and excitement. The rides are thrilling and make you feel like you're part of a story. The colorful parades and shows make your eyes sparkle, and meeting your favorite Disney characters is like a dream come true.The park is big and beautiful, with lots of places to explore, like castles and fairy tale lands. The food is yummy, with treats that look like they came from a storybook. It is not just a park, it's a place where happy memories are made.

7th trip to Disney Paris, and I still love it. ❤️ The park is so beautiful well maintained the staff work tirelessly to keep it so tidy. Our favourite time to visit is November with the Christmas decorations, but this January trip was dry clear and beautiful. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The meal we had at the ratatouille restaurant was wonderful. I honestly can't find and fault. There was some rides down for maintenance but to be expected in the quiet season. We will be back!

Great couple of days at Disneyland Paris. You can easily do both parks over 2 days. I can recommend the Tower of Terror, Thunder Mountain, Phantom Manor, Ratatouille ride and Pirates of the Caribbean. If you suffer from motion sickness I would seriously avoid Star Wars hyperspace mountain, I have never felt so sick from a ride before! It is just too quick for the short sharp bursts and your head gets rattled round a bit between the shoulder pads. April was a good month to visit and didn’t have to wait long for the rides. The park was clean, plenty of places for food and drink but it is just the same food repeated in the different cafes. Merchandise is pricey so make sure you save up!! For the park tickets I used a website called Attraction Tickets who were cheapest, easy to order and got them to download to my phone within 10 minutes. Hotel - we stayed at Adagio Serris Val d Europe which is only a 15 min walk or free shuttle buses stop outside. I will definitely be staying at this hotel again and the surrounding area is brilliant and includes a shopping mall and designer outlet! There is direct transport from centre of Paris and then from park to airport. You couldn’t ask for more!

Mehhh….For starters what I can say is, the lines were extremely disorganized when it came to entering the park. We purchased a one day ticket and boy I felt like it was their first day doing this. Anyway once inside it was beautiful and “magical.” The employees were not so polite and felt like they just wanted to do their job and go home.The app was such a huge help and I also paid for a few rides premier access. (So completely worth skipping the lines to some rides.) The parades were very cool and I think that was my kids favorite thing at Disney. Be prepared to pick a spot at least an hour ahead to get a good view, as people start lining the street very early prior to the parades. If you forget your portable charging box (as I did) they have a charging room by the buzz light year ride. It’s actually inside of the location where the buzz light year restaurant is.We brought a few snacks and drinks in our backpacks, but I also purchased several meals and desserts. I personally felt like the food wasn’t that expensive and was edible especially when you have been walking around the park all day. Amazing food, no, good food for hungry people, yes.Overall I can cross this off my list and say we visited. Would I return again, absolutely not.

Despite it being very busy, I had such an amazing experience. Every cast member I interacted with was delightful. Everybody seems so happy to be there. We went on Monday and Tuesday (no holiday) and queues varied from 20-50 minutes, which was quite alright. Even if you're not doing rides, the park is great to walk around in. There's always something to see and you're really never bored.I had some very bad interactions with guests, they can be quite inconsiderate and rude at times. But that is of course not the park's fault. Be prepared to encounter some selfish people though 😅Prices were high, as was to be expected. But I must say that some things were strangely priced. I purchased a medium sized plush for €26 when there were minis retailing for €20, to give an example. The food was surprisingly good! Nothing to write home about, but I didn't expect this great quality.I was very sad to return home and I'm already considering booking my next trip!

We had booked a 2-day ticket for both parks in advance, then spent a full day at Disneyland and a full day at Studios. Beautiful and quite exhausting. Good preparation is important - snacks, water, comfortable shoes and sunscreen. Plan your time wisely, it can gey very exhausting. Food and drinks are available in small snack bars or restaurants (don't forget to make reservations), prices for them are quite high.There are a lot of stores with souvenirs, so plan a little extra money.Queues at the rides can be very long, sometimes up to and over an hour. We occasionally bought the paid Premier Access to skip waiting time. A quick option can also be the Single Ride entrance, you don't sit next to your partner, but you don't have to wait in line as long.After 9 p.m., the queues get much shorter. If you don't necessarily want to watch the fireworks every night (or are satisfied with back rows), it's the best option to wait in line only for a short time.Make nice memories and have fun!

Disneyland Paris is a magical wonderland that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked through its iconic gates, I was transported to a world of enchantment and joy.The attention to detail throughout the park is truly remarkable. Whether it's the dazzling Cinderella Castle or the whimsical Main Street, USA, every corner of Disneyland Paris is a visual feast. The park's cleanliness and well-maintained grounds add to the overall charm.Now, let's talk about the attractions – they are nothing short of spectacular. From thrilling rides like Space Mountain to beloved classics like It's a Small World, there's something for everyone. The quality and creativity behind each experience are evident, and it's easy to see why Disneyland Paris is a top-tier theme park.The staff at Disneyland Paris are the real magic-makers. They are friendly, helpful, and genuinely committed to creating memorable experiences. Whether you're interacting with characters, asking for directions, or dining at one of the park's restaurants, the staff's dedication shines through.Disneyland Paris isn't just for kids; it's a place where people of all ages can relive their favorite Disney moments and create new memories. It's a world where dreams come true, and I can't recommend it enough. If you're considering a visit, prepare to be enchanted and amazed at Disneyland Paris – it's a journey you won't want to end!

The best place for family adventure! It is our second visit of this amazing park. In my opinion it is better to take your kids about 5 years, so you can fully ride on the best attractions in the park and get high emotions of being together with your kids. In the end of September it was really comfort weather, but so crowded. So for the future it is better to buy priority access at least on several attractions.All staff work on a high level, they are really doing their job great!Absolutely we'll be back in future!

This place is amazing! I really enjoyed it, although I'm an adult. It brings all my childhood memories back! One day is certainly not enough to discover the whole park! I recommend at least 2 days tickets, especially with smaller children. The queue could be very long at some attractions, but it worths every penny! The whole place is magical! 🥰😍

Brilliant trip! Two adults and two kids (3 yo & 6 yo). Prepare to wait an hour or more for popular rides. Characters don't walk around like they used to. They had session times they entered for photos. Mickey Mouse was 90 mins at one point.Xmas is magical there and the parade is not to be missed. Just wrap up warm. Expect to burn a hole in your pocket.Toad in the hole did fish and chips. Very good food for the price and pretty good service as well. Certainly need two days for one park - one day to queue for the rides and another go walk around it all.Must do - it's a small world and Peter Pans flight.

Had an absolute blast with my Family.Key rides were absolutely amazing, especially when you are travelling with an Autistic child... They really were very helpful and understanding. The only disappointment was the merchandise shops..Gutted as I wanted to buy my daughter something special for her birthday, she wasn't thrilled either by the selection.Walt Disney area was great and so was Disney Park... Not cheap but really enjoyed ourselves

After being in Tokyo and Orlando it was not not impressive. The Sleeping Beauty Castle was very nice and seemed refreshed much the park seemed in need of a bit of cleaning up and touch up. Overly crowded. No chance to get reservations for a sit down restaurant a week in advance and the lines were between 45-90 mins. Just not a value added experience. When we have to line up over an hour in advance for a show this is not worth the money. The village is way past it's prime and needs the construction that was ongoing badly. Recommend waiting at least a year before coming. Two day should be enough but the line delays were crazy. Positive note. Staff is always amazing and the night drone show and castle display were the highlight of the trip. Find your piece of asphalt early....

Worth the money! Great food, attractions, cast members were helpful and kind. Ease of access into the park with electronic tickets made things more streamlined. Lines were not long. I highly recommend visiting both parks. The cost and value is reasonable. Disneyland Paris exceeded my expectations.

First time I’ve been to a Disney theme park and I was thoroughly impressed. The park is kept meticulously clean and the build quality of the rides and theme park is the highest I’ve ever seen.We paid for the VIP tour and our tour guide Virginie was amazing. She managed to cram in many rides and shows for us in the one day. She was also able to book a restaurant reservation for us despite it showing as fully booked on the website. I highly recommend the premier pass or vip tour because the lines are really long.The park is crowded but manageable. Most of the park is suitable for young kids. They have a lot of family friendly rides. They don’t have as many rides for adults. The park is very stroller friendly with many ramps for use.

So far we've been to 3 different Disney Parks and this is our second favorite! The design of the park in some ways is way prettier than the park's in the U.S.They have two options of pre-paid fast passes if you'd like.It's pretty easy to get to from Paris.Tips:*Make sure to check out the Dragon under the castle 😉*Food: If you didn't know - Disney parks are expensive! Yes, Even the food. a tiny pizza, salad, drink and ice cream cost 16€ The food in the park disappointed us. In the US, food is a big part of the Disney experience. I read online that they have Dole Whip, but they don't. We looked!We were very frustrated since no one warned us that even though the park closes at 11:00 p.m., the stores and kiosks with food and snacks close at 20:00-21:00!!!! We found ourselves looking for food. It was very upsetting.

Very nice place . Kids and adults will love it.Very big waiting times for popular attraction 30-40 minutes so you need more than one day to visit Disney park . I recommend using the app to check waiting time before going to an attraction and also to find it faster . Lot’s of restaurants and shops so you will find everything you need .

Disneyland Paris is truly a magical destination that exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we entered the park, we were transported to a world of enchantment and wonder. The attention to detail in every aspect, from the stunningly designed attractions to the friendly and accommodating staff, was outstanding. The parades and shows were nothing short of spectacular, leaving us with unforgettable memories. The food options were diverse and delicious, catering to every taste. What sets Disneyland Paris apart is its ability to make everyone, young and old, feel like a kid again. It's a place where dreams come true, and we can't wait to return.

Disneyland is a magical Place, it transmit excitement and happiness to both children and adults. You can visit it whenever, although I have to admit, it’s a bit better during the summer season when days are a bit sunnier and you can stay for longer (closing time 11 pm). There are a few queues, for both the entrance and the games. Just have patience and enjoy the cool scenes that are all over the park. Waiting time for games can go from 5 minutes to 1 hour, you can either check the app to see what games have the least waiting time, or you can get the pass that let’s you skip the line (the ticket is way more expensive). We only stayed for one day and I believe it’s enough to visit the park. There are lots restaurants and souvenirs shops. You can even buy a pop corn basket, which you can refill at the pop corn stands. Most of the games are very chill and for children, but there are a few that are fun and thrilling. If you are staying in Paris, there is a train from Gare the Lyon that takes you exactly at the entrance of the park. Overall I recommend at all ages. Children have fun and we adults enjoy the feeling of being children again, at least for one day :).

Simply an amazing place. If you want to see a significant part of the park when you arrive, you should reserve at least 1 full day. If you want to participate in all activities, I recommend you get a priority pass. Otherwise, you'll be waiting too long in line. Be aware that you will be standing in line for at least 1 hour for popular activities. Pass priority tickets have separate entrances and you won't have to wait more than 10-15 minutes. Don't think it's a place for kids, there are more adults than kids and you will have a great experience.

Amazing experience! The magic there is real! If you get a day pass for 2 parks you can visit Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studio - you can enter after 45 minutes again as many times as you like during that day, from one park to another! Entrance to the shops and Disney Village is free - you have a middle area where you can shop at Disney Store even without having bought a ticket! I found that helpful!The dancing parades they do are so lovely! Will definitely visit again! ❤️✨🧚🦄

Although the park was really busy all the time we had a fast pass to skip the queues, and it was worth it.

Would recommend to all ages, we really enjoyed ourselves

It's a beautiful park with a lot of attractions. A lot of attractions have a long waiting time. For kids under 3 years old not a lot to do or see, I think. If you want to save money bring food from home. The app is very nice to know where to go and how long to wait on the lines. We were there on a day during the week in March. The end of the day it was raining a lot. There are also stroller to rent. I recommend buy tickets before and if possible sleep there one night for the whole attractions to be worth complete.

Spent a day at The Happiest Place On Earth!I visited on a Sunday, early April. The queues weren't crazy, plenty of rides we could get on within 10 minutes (pirates of the Caribbean, Cars, etc).The Disneyland app is well worth downloading. Live updates for queue times, the map is very useful too.Plenty of food options (including several local French cuisines).

We visited here on New years Eve. For a family experience, i would highly recommend it. However, it's not without its drawbacks.Firstly, it is a hell of a lot of walking when here from open to close. There is a lot of standing for queues, so make sure to have comfy clothes and shoes on. It can be cold in winter months, so bring a coat that you can easily remove if you get too hit in a queue.Make sure to prepare for paying a lot for food or sneak your own in. They do tell you no picnics allowed in side the park. But it is easy to stash sandwiches in.People queue up for events hours early, so either be prepared to do the same or get a bad spot for them, i.e. parades, fireworks, and so on.Rides are not adult centric, so there is not a big adrenaline boost from this park. The park is not for that, really it's for the kids. They will love the experience, and two of the coasters are great fun, thunderloop, and hyperspace.Parking is easy enough, costs a pretty penny, though.The fireworks show was fantastic, as was the new years ones too.Have a great time if you do go!

Cathedral of Notre-Dame of Reims

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Gothic cathedral Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Reims is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most iconic and beautiful architectural sights in all of France. The cathedral, which was built in the 13th century, features intricate stained glass windows and flying buttresses on all four sides. The cathedral is significant because it was the site of coronations for French kings from 1027 to 1825.
The cathedral is breath taking architecture and a wonder. I am trying to figure out, how could people from the past and would have appreciated the fact that this cathedral receives nowadays only or most of the time visitors? Where is faith gone? Where are the believers and Christians?

This church is stunning, the amount of detail work that’s gone into the statues which holds the record for the most figures in a church in the world is just magnificent. The glass work is eclectic and like non I’ve ever seen before, I can only imagine how it glimmers when the sun it’s the glass just right. This location is definitely the main attraction in the city and it’s definitely worth the visit.

The Cathedral of Notre-Dame of Reims is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Its stunning façade, adorned with intricate sculptures, leaves a lasting impression. Inside, the grandeur of the nave, supported by elegant columns, is awe-inspiring. The stained glass windows, renowned for their artistry, cast a kaleidoscope of colors that bathe the interior in ethereal light. The cathedral's historical significance as the site of French royal coronations adds to its allure. Despite enduring damage during World War I, meticulous restoration has preserved its magnificence. A visit to this iconic cathedral is a journey through time and a testament to human craftsmanship and devotion. It's also free to enter but has a gift shop within which supports it's funding. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous cathedral absolutely worth a visit. Where Napoleon was crowned twice. Beautiful stained glass windows. Similar in style to its namesake in Paris. Currently undergoing renovation on the outside. We only visited the ground level which does not require purchasing a ticket although I’ve heard the views from the top are quite something. You can buy tickets online for that.

In love with our history, one day I had to visit the city of coronations and of course the cathedral. What a beautiful building filled with so much history, events. A magnificent construction. Huge and whose maintenance and restoration make it a beautiful monument dedicated to the Catholic religion and the coronations of our kings. A statue dedicated to Saint Joan of Arc is necessarily visible there. It's crowded but it's reasonable and then unlike some buildings of the same type, I found a great calm and a beautiful serenity all the same. To see without hesitation. For the duration of the visit everything depends on you, are you ready to read all the informative brochures? Are you a strong believer? So if you belong to one of two categories you will be the sole judge of your time. Otherwise in one hour you will have been able to observe the building.

A nice church to visit while on the way to champagne country.Our tour from Paris made a brief stop here, and it made for a bit of awe and introspection.The building itself is adorned with hundreds of statues and statues holding statues.

Moreover, the cathedral can be visited with a guide in French, German, English.

Out of all the buildings we visited whilst in France this is the one.

Cathedral is a an absolute jewel of gothic architecture! If in Reims it’s definitely a must visit.Great for architectural enthusiasts as well as religious pilgrims. Mass services are frequent and easy to find out.It breathes history from medieval times, through coronations to modern post war truce meeting with German chancellor Adenauer.My personal favorite is the smiling Angel on the outer facade.As with every monument, expect renovations and parts of the interior/ exterior to be covered due to works.A highlight compared to Paris is that it’s not too busy and you marvel at peace with no too many people pushing you.

The neoclassical Place Stanislas is a large, impressive square in the center of the city that is home to many of the city's important sights and institutions. The square is famous for its lavish iron railings and fountains, as well as its statue of Duke Stanislaus Leszczynski.
Definitely a must visit when in that area. you can easily stay hours and look around at the gold plated astonishing buildings from centuries ago. There are Cafes to sit outside and enjoy a sunny day, the cathedral and a church in walking distance and a park to wander around.There is a parking garage near by, with really tiny spaces but def. worth while stopping there.There is also a Christmas market there so that is def. another great place to go during the Christmas season.So make sure Nancy is on your list of places to see in France

Stanislas has a significant importance in Nancy. It was classified as the favourite monument for France in 2021 and I will tell you why from my perspective: it is historical , big that it can host a parade in december, light show in Summer and winter, 'jardin éphèmere in October' and so much more events. There are restaurants/coffes/ museums/opera around this place. You can enjoy ice cream and delicious food or just sit in the chairs for people who came to admire the place/sun or lights. In special occasions, the lights of the buildings around Stanislas change like 'pink october, ..etc'. You can also visit 'hotel de ville' and enjoy the view from above.

Place Stanislas is the major landmark of Nancy and one of the most beautiful squares in France, if not even all of Europe. There is no charge to enter the square and it is lovely to stroll.

Zoo
Outdoor Activities
The Zoo d'Amnéville is an independent animal park showcasing approximately 2,000 species from five different continents. Along with their animal exhibits, the zoo offers a distinctive medieval-style falconry show. Their Facebook page provides visitors with up-to-date information and photographs of their animals, as well as discussing general animal news. In close proximity to the zoo are 72 hotels and other accommodations that can be booked through Hotels.com for as low as /night.
We had a wonderful visit to Zoo d'Amnevelle. The zoo is stroller friendly and my toddler only needed a little help seeing into some of the exhibits. We watched the sea lion and the falcon show and both were amazing. Throughout the zoo, there are plenty of kiosks for food. The prices were a little steep, but not unreasonable for zoo food. We were able to see almost all of the animals. There were only a handful of exhibits where the animals were either hiding or currently not in there. We will be back for sure, we spent 7 hours at the zoo and felt like we barely scratched the surfaces on what we could see.

An older facility, but very well maintained! The place is very large with an abundance of trees of all kinds. You could almost say you are walking within a forest! Start early in order to see everything and to catch all the shows, and I suggest at 10am when it opens (closes at 5 I think). There are 3 shows not to be missed, the holographic, the seals and the birds, and these i put in order from good to better to best. You do NOT want to miss the bird show! Get there early though to get.a spot in the shade, otherwise you will burn! You also have to follow the map religiously in order to see all the animals, because the paths can confuse you a bit. There are 3 locations throughout the park where you can eat either burgers or snacks. If you eat the burgers just remember that the French cook them medium to rare, so if you like them more well done, you need to ask for it. There is plenty of parking, its free and its very close to the entrance of the park. Don't expect good souvenirs from the gift shop though, that was the only let down.

Great zoo! It's one of the better ones I've visited. Animals seem taken care of. It’s clean and has a good variety of animals to see and explore. Well worth a trip!

A fantascic zoo with mostly large enclosures, beautiful styled for its inhabitants and visitorsA super bird show showing of both beauty and skil of the participating birds as well as the skill of their handles.Collection of large cats and some of the smaller ones, nicely done savannah, and must see bear enclosures, one of a wolverine living together with a brown bear.A bit on the pricy side @ €33,- / adult, but with free parking and afordable hotel near.Dinks are proced as expected €2,50 for 33cl (2022) foor on the more expensive side.I would recommend a full day if you are fast, multiple days if you observe or photograph animals. Worth a few hours travel

Very nice place to visit with kids and family. Lots of restaurants inside and in the surroundings.Show of birds it's a really good surprise, worth to see the 30 min presentation - check their schedule.Gorilla was amazing, so human eyes, you can talk to their souls.Few nocturnal animals, of course, were sleeping.35min from Luxembourg and usually don't need to book in advance. Around 32 euros per person.

Some of the animals where not visible and some were asleep all the time,this zoo is very manageable and you can easily see it all in one day ,unlike some zoos I’ve been too,most of the feedings are not worth waiting for,I will say tho the sea lion show is very good.

For being a Zoo it’s great for kids, the shows are nice and the animals are overall visible. 1 day trip well deserved. For adults it’s a little tougher depends on your view on zoos and animals in captivity… Personally feel a little sad for them and the elephants are so sad.
Iacopo B — Google review
A zoo worth travelling to! I was surprised with how large the zoo was and how many animals there were to see. The zoo is designed beautifully and creates a very enjoyable environment. The animals also look very well looked after and energetic. I have visited many zoos where the animals are usually quite lethargic but the animals here certainly had personality! Thoroughly entertaining! One negative is that in the cafe area the ground was very active for mice.

It is a great Zoo! It was better when they did the Tiger Show and when they had Tiger world but still a cool zoo. I was surprised that there was no replacement Show? We saw the Sea Lion Show and it was good!

Most animals looked sleepy or depressed. Do they give them tranquilizers? The gorilla looked like he was thinking stuff. He should be released back to nature. The raccoons were too thin. They need to eat some junk food. The zoo and its restaurants were seriously overpriced.
Dimitris B — Google review
There is a very large free car park near the zoo, well organized. The zoo itself has a wonderful selection of animals to admire. We feel that a lot of emphasis is placed on the animals living in as realistic an environment as possible. The animals and the enclosures appear well cared for. The large number of species delights young and old. There is also a petting zoo and a playground for the kids. Tip: Take a picnic with you. The food could really improved and it's from our point of view overpriced.

A wonderful experience, but it is better to provide professional trainers for marine animals (seals) in order to provide better offers. I believe that the polar bear needs better care and cleaning of its swimming pool.

Once my favorite zoo in France, then the old management did some "dumb" stuff and the zoo fell into decline. Under new management now it's clearly coming back from that brink, there some way to go, but it's a great day for the family and their new projects look amazing like they used to be. Very hopeful for the future.

Probably the best zoo I have ever been(i visited already a lot), it's not huge but its absolutelly green, like a jungle, Especially in this summer season. Many of the animals have plenty of space, and it feels super clean! :) It was an unexpected experience! I will return :)

This holiday apartment in the charming town of Little Venice is perfect for visitors looking for a bit of relaxation and beauty. The area is well-known for its historic houses, fairy tale vibe, and meandering Lauch River. The apartment has been decorated in an elegant style with all the necessary amenities to make your stay comfortable. The town itself is also very charming and offers plenty of activities to enjoy, such as exploring its colorful half-timbered houses or taking a boat ride on the river.
家族4人で利用しました。川沿いの眺めが良く、夜は静かでロマンチックな場所でした。建物自体は凄く古いのですが、中は綺麗にリフォームされてキッチン周りの電化製品や器具、食器は全て揃っていて、とても清潔でした!車はホテル前に路駐して荷物を運んだ後に近くのパーキングに移動しました。すぐそばにマルシェやレストランもあり立地は最高だと思います。オーナーのマダムは英語を話して下さり、私達は夜の8時半頃と遅い到着だったのですが、電話でのやりとり後にホテル前で待っててくださり、鍵を受け取る事が出来ました。(Translated by Google)I used it with my family of 4. Nice view along the river, quiet and romantic place at night. The building itself is very old, but the inside has been beautifully renovated, and the electrical appliances, utensils, and tableware around the kitchen were all there, and it was very clean!I parked my car in front of the hotel and moved to a nearby parking after carrying my luggage.I think the location is great as there are markets and restaurants nearby.The owner, Madam, spoke English, and although we arrived late at around 8:30 pm, she waited for us in front of the hotel after a phone call, and we were able to receive the keys. rice field.

A "Real Eyeopener"!This compact "old town" area of Southeast Colmar is a place "not to be missed" by visitors! It gets its name due to the "historic houses" built on both sides of the small, meandering, Lauch River.... and the "fairy tale vibe". The area is wonderful to walk around-- and has cobbled streets, colourful "half-timbered" houses, and a "covered market". It can also be seen by boat. It has been awarded by TripAdvisor the esteemed "Certificate of Excellence". It is indeed well worth a visit. It is no wonder that it has been rated as one of the "top of places" to visit/things to do, while in Colmar. It will definitely add to one's memories of the visit.I hope that this Review has been helpful.

Lovely time walking around Home Little Venice there's so much more than the picturesque bridge's to see with a few lovely restaurants along the canal, and little boat trip back and forth . It's only a short walk from here to the indoor market .My recommendations would be early evening when all the lights come on for beautiful pictures .

the best park I ever visited, numerous times, took my family recently after a long time and was not disappointed. Highly recommend. If you are not familiar with the park, best plan 2 days. Unforgettable for young and old. The management works tirelessly to add new exciting things and maintain the established rides.The gardens and plants are exquisite and in pristine conditions. It's a joy to wander through the different gardensCongratulations.I visited first time when the park opened in the mid seventies, it's come a long way.

One of the best place to visit while travelling to Germany. This place is full of adventure and beautiful view. You can enjoy here with your partner as well as with your family or kids. It has both options either you can chill with your kids or if you want a quiet place then you can also get that. My overall experience here was amazing and I enjoyed everyday during my stay. There is bus shuttle service inside Europa park by which you can travel from one place to another free of cost inside Europa park. And specially the staff over here is very friendly and polite. 😍😍😍

Wow Where Do I Start. This park is amazing, it’s one of the best if not the best in the World.Arrived at 08:30 and some attractions were already open 😲, then walked on rides majority of the day and didn’t wait more than 25 minutes. Did 30 rides and left at closing time. Experienced 1 minor breakdown the whole day which saw can can coaster close for a max of about 10 minutes. They kept silver star & can can coaster open a little longer after park close so people didn’t leave without riding one last ride due to the breakdown.Operations were world class too, staff were friendly and extremely efficient. Food was good except the Food Loop which was quite expensive. Paid €15 for a burger on it’s own but it was tasty so I’ll give them that 🤣As a whole the park is extremely clean, well looked after and so well ran. Over 2 days did 55 rides and experienced shows and had time to eat and shop. Will definitely be back next year 👍Parking was also efficient. Was in and out in no time. Entering the park was just straight in. Long Opening Hours too so no need to rush and plenty of transportation attractions such as a train and 2 monorails.I recommend this park as it is PERFECT FOR EVERYONE!

Give yourself at least 2 days. The park is huge and there is so much to do and see. Since it was a slower season, many food places were closed or running on shorter hours, and I would have liked more regional food for the areas. All around amazing experience, and the queues were shorter than we expected given the size of the park.

What an amazing place and an amazing experience.Everything is meticulously maintained, there is a huge diversity of different rides, the whole park is themed and decorated for Halloween, and the atmosphere is so pleasant.I loved how they divided the park into different countries. Everything is so easy to find.Prices of the food and beverages are decent in most places.I especially loved how they added Single Rider lines in many of the rides. Also, they do it very efficiently, so you don't have to wait for too long even if you're in a group and prefer to save some time and split on the ride.This is my second visit. I visited 7 years ago. A lot has changed for the better, even though the park was great even back then. They definitely know how to keep improving.The only thing I would suggest them to fix is the app's possibility to return to the list of rides after selecting a specific ride and pressing "return". Currently, it takes you back to the general map, and then you have to again select and filter the rides you want to see.

There’s never a bad time to go to Europa-Park!!! Last time we went during the spring, but now we went during Christmas time!The park is decorated beautifully and it’s just so magical ✨Very affordable place for a day of fun!

It‘s amazing how this park has developed and grown over the years. It takes a least two days to see the whole park and enjoy most of the rides, shows, etc. You can see the effort everywhere that the park looks nice & clean all day. Needless to say there are attractions for the whole family, from thrilling roller coasters, Virtual rides to calm story rides, shows, etc. Food & Drinks are expensive, comparable to other parks, but it’s very fair that it’s allowed to bring as much as you want by yourself. Entrance fees are fair and you‘ll get a lot entertainment for your money.

We first visited Europa Park back in 1990 before we had our children. We have visited it regularly since with our children.We have seen the park grow and really enjoy our visits. We have stayed on the campsite in one of their tepees as well as in nearby hotels and campsites.Access to the park is easy as it is well signposted. Once inside, there is plenty to see and do with lots for adults and children of all ages, and their are rides for all ages.There are shows to see, including medieval knights.The food isn't cheap but there are plenty of quiet areas to enjoy your own food or picnic.The car park is well laid out, and again is well signposted and marked.The best part about Europa Park is the atmosphere, especially on a bright summer's day. Queue times vary of course depending on what time of year and what day of the week you go, but they're not too bad. The bigger and more popular the ride the longer the queue, and there are plenty of rides and the wait is worth it.Level 9 Google reviewer with over 900 reviews, 75,000 points plus over 10,000 photos and still going strong 💪.

Super parc d’attraction, les décors sont magnifiques et les attractions super. 2 jours pour faire le parc est l’idéal si on veut pouvoir bien profiter. Les spectacles sont très bien aussi. Au niveau du temps d’attente c’est raisonnable (30min max pour nous en semaine). L’application est bien faite pour se repérer et on peut prendre quelques coupes file. Nous y retournerons pour découvrir la nouvelle attraction qui a l’air sensationnelle !(Translated by Google)Great amusem*nt park, the scenery is magnificent and the attractions are great. 2 days to explore the park is ideal if you want to be able to enjoy it.

Vraiment un très beau parc. Les attractions sont top. Le seul bémols la sécurité. Aucun contrôle de sac 🤷🏼♀️On a pu profiter de tout, les prix sont correct pour un parc d'attraction. Par contre le personnel a revoir. On avait rarement voir pas du tout de sourire et même pas de bonjour. Limite si il pouvais ne pas nous parler c'est au mieux, dommage.(Translated by Google)Really a very beautiful park. The attractions are great. The only downside is security. No bag checks 🤷🏼♀️We were able to enjoy everything, the prices are correct for an amusem*nt park. On the other hand, the staff needs to be reviewed. We rarely saw any smiles or even hellos. Even if he couldn't talk to us, that's a shame at best.

Wonderful place.I'd love to see some more variety in the food stalls besides the all time classics: currywurst, churros, waffles, burgers etc.But other than that everything was beautiful. Many rides for small children to older ones. They also have places for the parents to sit while their kids play, in the area where the playgrounds are.There are also little houses or spots where you can just sit in peace for lunch and enjoy the view.You need at least 4 days to manage to see everything if you go with kids.The europa park app is a must if you want to check the waiting lines for the rides, the park map etc.Don't miss the all you can eat ribs in the silver lake saloon and the all you can eat buffet in Antica Roma! Both need reseevations!

What a fantastic place to visit! Disneyland in Paris doesn’t get a look in with this place. If you want thrills and theming that really makes a difference. The park was super clean, staff extremely friendly and the efficiency of the queues was excellent. If a ride was getting a bit too busy they would add extra cars on to ease that. The virtual queue system was excellent and the shows were fantastic! Stopped at the Kronosar hotel and again what a fantastic place, rooms were spacious and everything was kept so clean and tidy. I’ll definitely return, only spent 2 nights but could have spent longer as there is so much to see and do.

A place for theme park goers, a lovely date, want to experience different countries in a short space n time , take kids out.New rides, five nights at freddys-esque rides with puppets, toddler rides. Water rides...Highly recommended in warm to slightly hotter weather.The versatility of this place is great.Download the app. No ifs, no buts.Solo riders lane was a nice experienceOnly "downside" is how to get there, but its logical for it to be away from city and in a spacious plot.Make sure you factor in travel time especially if driving. Coaches and buses depending may be better.or nice stroll

What an amazing park. The theming is beyond incredible even to the bathrooms. Great roller coasters. The new Voltron is top notch. Food wise amazing options and very tasty. My only “negative” is that operating hours seem to be set the day of operations since the website states at least till 1800. After a while in the park hours did get extended till 2000. So if you visit and it’s busy check around

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Cathedral of Strasbourg is a beautiful, gothic edifice built in 1187 to 1439 with a 16th-century astronomical clock and rose window. It is considered the world's tallest building from 1647 to 1874 and still the sixth tallest church today. The walls of the cathedral keep a 1000-year history of luck and disappointment, victorious victories and unforgivable defeats.
What a wonderful cathedral!! The clock inside is really neat. I loved the nativity scenes and I'm so glad they were still up when we went in January. We climbed up the tower, which was a highlight of our entire vacation!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ideal Christmas location. Big crowds, hard to park in the city centre, many streets are closed by police.Definitely worth visiting and enjoying the view.

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

A very impressive cathedral! And this is coming from someone who has visited many. It's huge, historically impressive and the stained glass is possibly the best I've ever seen. And then there's the astronomical clock!! Read up on it or get a pop guide, then see it in person. It's truly a technical wonder!
Tracy S — Google review
Absolutely mind blowing, when you try to see the height of this cathedral. Really really enormous with a beautiful astronomical clock adding more to its beauty. An absolute masterpiece of Gothic architecture.The interior is equally beautiful. We were here on Sunday so we could not explore it entirely due to the ongoing mass. On a sunny day, the rays which comes through the tainted glass windows just creates an aura. It feels divine here. Very beautiful paintings all over the glass windows, unlike any other cathedral.

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

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

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

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

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

Heidelberg Palace is a ruined red sandstone castle that sits on a hillside in the heart of Heidelberg, Germany. It is one of the most beautiful ruins in the world and is popular with tourists for its incredible views across the Neckar River. The only way to see the interior of Heidelberg Palace is by tour - after 6pm it is open to the public for free.
Beautiful, highly recommend for a lazy stroll. The views of the palace and the city from the terrace is breathtaking. We went on a rainy day and still managed to have a great time. There’s a short hike, moderately steep but absolutely doable. Wear comfy shoes. I saw some cars up there too, so I guess it’s possible.
Michele S — Google review
Really cool castle! The views of the city are incredible. The walk up is pretty steep so be prepared if you are going that way. Don’t miss the pharmacy museum and the giant wine barrel. The inner part of the castle costs 9 euros but it’s worth it. Also check out the garden in the back for even more great views.
deependablereviews — Google review
If you like explore castles, this will be educational and fun.Starting with a hike up the castle is highly recommended! It made me appreciate so much modern amenities - there is a cable car you can purchase to go up and down as well (€9 will get a person up and down the hill for the castle). The grounds outside the castle is fun to walk around simply for the view it offers of the town. Once up at the castle level, get ticket to the courtyard. It can be included in the cable car. It will take maybe an hour or hour and half but seeing the massive wine barrel - it will be the biggest ever! and learning about the start of medicine/ pharmacy in Germany will be a fun experience in the museum inside. Wander around to the front of the castle the view is great not just the old town below but also the castle structure itself.Happy travels

Beautiful castle with a rich history. The views from the top of this castle were magnificent. We also took a stroll around the surrounding open areas. We took an Uber there since it was a big climb.

Definitely must see in the city. The city overview is magnificent. There is a park outside of the castle where you can take similar pictures with a similar view. But inside, there is a pharmacy museum and great walls. You can still visit inside by paying the entrance fee tho. It is quite doable! 🙏🏼🏰

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

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

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

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

The palace gardens are also a true wonder.

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

One of the best “ruins castles” in Germany. We really enjoyed the tour through the castle. The views of Heidelberg from the castle are fantastic as well. It is a bit of a hike to get up to the castle. I would recommend taking the tram if you have issues with climbing stairs and hills or have strollers or older folks with you. The climb is pretty significant. I have now been to this castle several times and I’d go back again and again. Such a great place with such an interesting history.
Kris A — Google review
It’s an amazing castle, I will tell any one about my visit there, the view from castle above the city is beautiful. If you would visit it, try to go before 5:30 pm, because the bus from down to castle through the mountain will close and last trip to enter it will on 5:30. It costs 14€ or 9€ for adults to buy a ticket. Garden around the castle is also nice. Enjoy 😊 (The stairs are long if you want to walk up, you can go up walking but maybe will be difficult for some people)

Amazing place, I could expend days just wandering inside and outside the castle, is simply amazing. The views that has to offer are also out of this world! I bought the ticket for €14 that allowed me the funicular and museums and then at the castle bought the audio guide which is totally worth it tbh. They had it in different languages. There’s also a Michelin 2020 restaurant inside the castle.
Cesar H — Google review
Very nice old palace, you should definitely walk around and visit the garden. All the surrounding are accessible for free. But the entrance to the courtyard costs 9 euros. It’s unreasonably expensive, on my opinion. The size of the yard and what you can see inside is not worth the money. The yard is really small and partially closed for restoration, some cars are parked in places, there are too many people... In addition, to get inside the castle you need to pay even more and book a tour. So I was very disappointed.But again, the castle itself is spectacular and worth to visit, just consider thoroughly whether you need to go in.As an advantage, free toilet next to the cash register😉

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

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

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

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

Definitely one of the better values for your money when it comes to things to do around here. You get beautiful views of the city, the castle grounds, and the panoramic view is nice too.

If you are anywhere, I mean anywhere near Heidelberg... You need to go. And you need to visit the palace.I highly recommend a guided tour because you'll get more history and you'll get access to parts of the palace that you otherwise can't walk through.Our guide, Pamela, was absolutely wonderful!! She provided excellent insights with a certain warmth and kindness that made the whole tour fantastic.Also, don't forget to dance on top of the wine barrel.

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

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

Visually appealing historical monument that tells the story of opulence and power. Every ornament has creative details of history and artisans with skills beyond ordinary. The texture, color and breadth of the different parts of the castle are worth seeing in a lifetime.

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

Big looming castle ruins... about 10 min of walking uphill, kind of steep. We didn't pay to go inside the castle and we found plenty to see and do around the walls and views of the valley below, had a picnic in the courtyard... all free.

The Romer, a medieval building with a stepped gable facade, is now the town hall with a balcony and many portraits. The building has served as Frankfurt's main city hall for 600 years.
The beautiful and picturesque old town is a must visit when in Frankfurt! Amazing half-timbered buildings that were once completely destroyed by Allied powers’ bombings during WWII, now rebuilt to their full glory! Drink your coffee or beer in one of the numerous cafes and beer houses on the square, admire the architecture, take photos and travel back in time with your imagination! 100% recommended!

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

Römerberg is the historic heart of Frankfurt, Germany. This charming square is surrounded by picturesque half-timbered houses, giving it a medieval ambiance. The iconic Römer building, Frankfurt's city hall for over 600 years, dominates the square with its distinctive stepped gables. Römerberg is not only a historic and architectural gem but also a vibrant hub with open-air markets, cultural events, and traditional festivals. It serves as a popular gathering place for both locals and visitors, offering a glimpse into Frankfurt's rich history and providing a delightful backdrop for leisurely strolls and exploration.

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

The Mercedes-Benz Museum is a world-renowned museum dedicated to the history of Mercedes-Benz and the car industry. Inside, visitors can see some of the brand's most iconic vehicles from the past century, as well as models from more recent times. The museum is located in a sleek metallic building with a double helix design that allows for two parallel audio-guided tours.
What a great museum! We really enjoyed all the interactive parts of the museum and getting a walk through history viewed through the lens of the inventions and innovations with motorized vehicles. It was really fascinating and we spent more time than we planned. Plus the museum design was really neat! So glad we went!!

Absolutely stunning museum designed to hugely enhance the amazing displays of historic and current Mercedes-Benz cars. We spent over two hours there and, had it not been closing time, would have stayed a lot longer.We thought the price of €12 per adult was excellent value for money and, as well as truly appreciating the sublime architecture, we were massively impressed by the world history displayed in the panels down each of the curving walkways on each floor.And to the cars! An awesome display of high quality vehicles of all types with individual plaques to explain their significance. No-one could fail to be impressed by the range, quality and descriptions for each vehicle on display. From the first historic cars to the most current Formula 1 cars, the range is quite unbelievable.The toilet, accessibility and food facilities are all top class, as is the range of items to purchase in the shop. In all, a highly recommended experience which is too good to miss if you're in Stuttgart. Thank you!

One of the best automobile museums that I have been to (as an automotive enthusiast)! The museum was filled with not only detailed history about the car as a mode of transportation, but also world history so that one could understand the context of which the inventions or innovations were made in. Such a diverse collection of cars, iconic and legendary. 4 stars because I would have loved to see the latest cars from Mercedes-Benz. The newest ones in the museum were only concept cars from the past decade. Bit disappointed in this respect but all in all, worth the visit!

The MERCEDES-BENZ MUSEUM was amazing! When you first arrive, you take the elevator to the top floor and walk down the spiralling path. It starts with the earliest vehicles and the vehicles get progressively newer the further down you go. The museum was well laid out with plenty of lighting. The parking garage on the backside of the museum made the visit painless and easy.

Impressive museum! Sadly I got an audio guide with a low battery and it died in the middle of my visit. You get to keep the strap of the audio guide as a souvenir by the way.It takes around 2-3h to see everything depending on your speed. It starts with a chronological order since 1900. There is a lot of information for car enthusiasts and also for people who just want to learn more about the history of car making and the different inventions/technologies throughout the history.The design of the building itself is amazing. There are lockers and coat storage places. Toilets, which were remarkably clean, are available not only during the start/end of the museum but there is one in each level as far as I remember.At the end of the tour, some fun interactive activities are available which can also be suitable for kids, I think it was called science center or something similar. The gift shop had a very limited selection and was quite overpriced.

This was my first visit to the Mercedes Museum and I have to admit that I was really positively surprised.The architecture is amazing and totally fitting to the themes that are shown.Each of the eight levels tells unique stories throughout the history of Mercedes Benz.It’s easy to navigate through the museum and just beautifully made.Worth a visit! Or another one.

Great place to learn about the history of Daimler and Mercedes, and a bit of Mr. Porsche. You can see many of the original classic cars to rare prototypes. It’s nice to see big companies are helping to reduce environmental impacts.

The MERCEDES-BENZ MUSEUM is amazing place with plenty of vehicles. When you first arrive, you take the elevator to the top floor and walk down the spiraling path. A well-presented and arranged museum that not only encompasses the history of Mercedes Benz but also the history of the automotive world of cars.There are many of beautiful cars, trucks,F1 cars, buses. Everything is explained really well and plenty of information about every vehicle. Few euros for a ticket is really worth. The tickets were well priced and included a free audio guide.Good restaurant to dine in after your walkabouts. ne can easily spend 4-5 hours and if you are a car enthusiast even more.The museum was well laid out with plenty of lighting. The parking garage on the backside of the museum made the visit painless and easy.

We've been there on Saturday afternoon, didn't felt crowded. Museum is HUGE! Amazing experience, would recommend it to everyone. The entry is low in comparison what you see. You can even enter in some vehicles. Employees were mostly all very friendly. We can recommend also restaurant in museum, very cosy environment, friendly staff and food was delicious. 🙌🏻

A Gearhead's Paradise: A Review of the Mercedes-Benz Museum in StuttgartThe Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart is a pilgrimage site for car lovers. Housed in a stunning, futuristic building, it takes visitors on a chronological journey through automotive history. From the pioneering inventions of Daimler and Benz to sleek modern concept cars, the museum showcases the brand's evolution with iconic vehicles alongside historical context.The exhibits are well-curated, with interactive displays and informative audio guides. The highlight for many is the double helix structure that winds its way down the building, offering a unique perspective on the exhibits. Allow plenty of time to explore, as there's something for everyone, from racing enthusiasts to design buffs.Whether you're a die-hard Mercedes fan or simply enjoy a well-done museum experience, the Mercedes-Benz Museum is a must-visit in Stuttgart. Just be prepared to spend a good few hours (or even a whole day!) getting revved up by auto history.

The Museum is very nice. Starting at the top floor you work your way from the invention of the first engine, to the first motorized carridge to the first car and get a good historical view of transportation as we know it today. We enjoyed the exhibits that were much more than just looking at cars. The museum shows connections between world events and the car industry avoiding controversial issues.

Not all museums are boring! ;)This is such a great place to visit if you are fond of cars, technology or history. It would take 3 to 4 hours to cover all the sections. The audio guide works seamlessly. The cars on display are maintained with utmost care and are very well organized.Overall it's a must visit place for any automotive enthusiast!

Great to see the evolution of cars. Impressive collection of cars from the original to the latest high tech. It's also fun to learn MB makes all kinda of vehicles besides cars.Family tickets cost 24€ compare to Porsche musume gives you discount when you take public transportation (10€ for 2+2 family).

Superb experience! They have 8 floors in total, every floor has its own story (and year). bring back to the old history of cars until the future or up to now.👍Suggestion: heard they give discounted ticket if you enter in the afternoon, about 50% disc if im not mistaken.

My time at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart left me with mixed feelings. 🏎️💔 While there were positives, some aspects fell short of my expectations.The museum layout and historical insights into Mercedes-Benz vehicles were well done, and the reasonable entrance fee was a plus. However, the lack of significant changes over the past 5 and a half years was a bit disappointing. 🕰️🤔 I hoped for fresh additions to keep the experience captivating for returning visitors.A downside was the presence of unrelated political propaganda along the walking route between floors. 🚫🗳️ This seemed out of place and distracted from the museum's automotive focus.The souvenir shop at the end didn't live up to expectations due to high prices. 💰😕 It dampened the overall value after paying the entrance fee.I recommend avoiding the museum during summer holidays due to large crowds. 🌞🚶♂️ This can detract from the enjoyment of the visit.In conclusion, the Mercedes-Benz Museum has highlights, especially for car enthusiasts, but updates, pricing, and overall visitor experience could be enhanced. 🏁🚗

A great place to visit when in Stuttgart. I have been there twice now and I am mesmerized each time. Their organized manner, way of storytelling is just amazing. We started at the very beginning of human civilization of using horses as a mode of transportation. From there, the discovery and use of motor vehicles, steam engines and fuel engines was just marvelous.A huge collection of collectibles and historical facts made the entire experience worthwhile. This was really a great experience for us.They also had a nice cafeteria and souvenir store along with a simulation centre.Tickets are subsidized for students, kids and senior citizens.

Very affordable entry. (Paid 3€ each for students.) The super welcoming staff speak multiple languages are very friendly and smiling at you when they see you. Museum was great with many exhibitions and cars as well as a unique layout different to other museums which made it more enjoyable to walk around as it gave you views of the cars you otherwise wouldn’t see.

Absolutely loved it here. Organisation is excellent. Range of exhibits is vast - including cars, buses, racecars, etc. Wide range of German and works history also covered. Audio guide is super helpful. Took us about 3 hours to explore the entire museum. Cafe is expensive for what it is (€8 for two coca cola bottles). Public transport is good to here. We cycled from central Stuttgart no problem. But trains also available.One of the best places I've ever visited. Thank you.

Best place to explore Mercedes-Benz vehicles. All vehicles are meticulously maintained. The 8-storey building speaks volumes about the history of Mercedes-Benz. Inside the museum they have a restaurant and shop. They also offer Bluetooth-connected headsets to hear about vehicles. The museum will have a children's play area. We had a great time with our 2 kids. Highly recommend for car lovers. Entrance ticket is 16 euro, entry after 4.30PM is only 8 euro.

Absolutely amazing day visiting the museum! There’s 7 floors full of amazing information and history on how the company started! There’s plenty of cars to peruse and links to the decades of development/design/performance. We are also motorsports fans, so seeing Lewis Hamilton’s car was brilliant!! Plenty of hands on activities for children too. Would recommend booking in advance, so you can go straight to collect your audio guide! There’s also lockers, so you don’t need to carry anything around?There’s a car showroom at the end which may inspire you to buy one for yourself!!

I very much enjoyed my tour of the Mercedes-Benz museum. You take an elevator ride up to the top floor and begin with looking at some of the oldest cars and engines and walk your way down to today’s modern automobiles.As you journey through over 100 years of car history, you get to enjoy looking at all the cool cars, trucks, and other various automobiles Mercedes-Benz have manufactured.I recommend getting lunch in the cafe/trying out their restaurant in the basem*nt as well and making a day trip. It took me about 3 hours to get through everything and eat both breakfast and lunch here and I came by myself, so I’d say prepare at least 5 hours if you’re visiting with a group/your family.

Even for non car lovers, this place is still good to visit. What more for car enthusiasts.Having gone to 2 famous car museums in Stuttgart, here’s my take for Mercedes Benz, the exhibits are informative and I like how the museum flows with time and also with other world events. You will see why the entire Mercedes Benz or (Daimler) group is so important to the history of GermanyThe gift shops are well equipped with pretty nice souvenirs to get from.There are cafes and a restaurant.There are also locker rooms and coat rooms if you are bringing bigger bags you can store them and go for your tour.Went alone and spent about 2.5 hours or so in there. Staff are helpful and friendly.This museum is more family oriented and there are 7 levels of exhibits.I enjoyed myself especially knowing the history of Germany and the company. Ever wondered the names of Daimler, Benz, Mercedes and how are they related and why is it being used interchangeably? What does the logo stands for? You will get your answer here.
Quak S — Google review
A sanctuary of car history.Remember that Messrs Benz and Daimler were the first to design cars, and both obtained patents for different working designs in 1886. The Mercedes brand came later (around 1900) through a car enthusiast and racing driver who loved his daughter named Mercedes so much that he called everything he loved by her name, including his vehicle.This museum is a stroll through history. Half a day is barely enough. Plan ahead and Enjoy !

Imperial Castle of Nuremberg

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Museum
The Imperial Castle of Nuremberg is a majestic castle complex from the 11th century that includes a royal palace and gardens, offering breathtaking views of the city. Originally built as a court, it later became infamous for being used by the Third Reich to enact oppressive laws in 1935. However, its most notable historical event was hosting the 'Nuremberg Trials' after World War II.
I had a great time walking around the castle, appreciating the history and contemplating what my home country looked like at the time the castle was built and bustling with activity. I went on a rainy, dreary day but I still had good views of the surrounding area.

Wow, wow, wow. Excellent castle visit to the Imperial Castle.Located at the top of a hill, overlooking the city of Nuremberg, the Imperial Castle is reached after a serious climb uphill. Not difficult for the fully able ,it is a long rather arduous slog up to the courtyard.*******,Handicap VERY difficult , if not impossible, not made any easier by the cobblestone road .*********( that said, I did see a gentleman with a walker!!!)The museum entry is 7 Euros, 6 if you are a senior or a student.Wow----super excellent presentation and displays of the medieval history of this castle 🏰. Armaments, armor, clothing, artifacts, explanations and visuals were superb. One of the best. Great value for the money!!!!Restaurant in the courtyardBEST VIEWS OF NUREMBERG.

It was amazing to visit this imperial castle of Nuremberg. The constructions were protected with 3 layered thick wall with around 10 ft thickness and 2 stages of different heights. The tunnels, the rooms, the towers, the gardens, the dungeons, the underground pathways designs and the city view points were awesome to see. I felt like I entered in the Game of Thrones series.

Amazing medieval castle that have been kept so well.This is truly a castle with super strong defense.Not far from the city center market, easy to walk to. Free to walk into it and there is a good view of the old town.Even though Nuremberg was 90% destroyed during WWII, the old town was rebuilt and restored according to the pictures they had of the old buildings and structures. So, much of the history is preserved. Otherwise, if they had decided to build everything new, there would not be not much of the past left to see.Very impressive old town city market with a gorgeous fountain and church, and you can buy fantastic food, flowers, gingerbread cookies….If you are a WWII history fan, then you have a lot more places to see.Really worth visiting.

This iconic castle is likely more interesting from the outside than the inside.Due to destruction during WWII, most of the interiors are redone as a museum.

It's incredible how well-preserved the castle is post-World War II. Its grandeur and size are truly breathtaking. From the top, overlooking the town, you understand why it was strategically placed there. The surrounding city walls in Nuremberg are still intact, offering about an hour's walk around them. Navigating the city is convenient; everything is within a 30-minute walk from the center, allowing you to discover hidden gems like bridges, churches, and historic buildings along the way. The castle itself offers free entry and plenty of areas to relax. Exploring its various sections, like the converted horse stables and food storage areas, is best with a knowledgeable local guide to delve into its history. Though it requires a bit of uphill walking, the panoramic view from the top makes it all worthwhile, showcasing the city's landmarks and beauty.

I still can't believe that the castle is still in such good shape after the Second World War. Breathtaking, massive, magnificent. When you go up to the top and look out over the town, you get a sense of why they built the castle where it is. I cannot get over how impressive it is. Also, Nuremberg is still surrounded by the great city walls. It takes about an hour to walk around them. That's the great thing about the city. You can walk anywhere and it never takes more than 30 minutes to get to the other side of the city centre. Best of all, while you are exploring the city on foot, you will find many other gems on your walking adventure. From bridges to churches and other lovely old buildings. Enjoy!🏰✨️Little tip: During weekdays you can enter the inside of the castles for free. That is in the morning until 10am or so

This is a beautiful place to visit. It has a very steep cobbled path leading up to the entrance and a lot of steps inside. I bought the combination ticket which was worth it. The castle is well presented inside with educational displays. The tower is 112 steps up a spiral staircase, but the views from the top were beautiful. The tour to the well was funny and fascinating. The tour guide knew his stuff.

Weltkrieg!Einfach hinein gehen, irgendwo sich hinsetzen... nehmen Sie sich Zeit um die Frieden, ruhe und die Segen Gottes spüren.Es lohnt sich auch die Besichtigung der Kuppel - Eingang auf der linken Seite der Kirche.(Translated by Google)One cannot write, tell and praise enough about the Frauenkirche. Just the reconstruction after the bombing of Dresden at the end of World War II!Just go in, sit down somewhere... take your time to feel the peace, tranquility and blessings of God.It is also worth visiting the dome - entrance on the left side of the church.
