40 Best Stops Between Antwerp and Lyon (2024)

+21 other lists

Lovely architecture, we definitely recommend climbing the tower if you have the muscle for it (some 500+ steps total, almost 100m tall). It was 8 EUR/person when we visited (July 2024), the view is spectacular, and the history of the carillon is impressive. Try to be there (or close to the bell chamber) at every half hour or so (when there are songs played)

This church is a true gem. If you read Ken Follet’s books you can feel the story and imagine how much ingenuity and work it took to built this masterpiece. Stand at the top of the tower and admire the town below and think of the efforts of people that built it. Entrance to the tower costs 8 euros, but it is worth it including your sweat making all those hundreds of stairs. Church possesses some impressive pieces of art. Even some resembling Flemish primitives, also Cocxie, Van Dyck.

I've been knowing the Cathedral all my life as Mechelen is my home town. Since I live abroad it's always a pleasure seeing the cathedral again, whether it's from hind and far or from close-by.I can really utterly recommend to visit the cathedral when you spend a few days in Mechelen. You can even walk all the way up to the Skywalk and enjoy the wonderful vistas!

Beautiful cathedral ⛪️ It a must visit place when visiting to Mechelen ❤️ If You Have Time And Can Climb then Go to The Top of the tower which have 600 plus steps to get to know the history of the Mechelen and 360 view of the city from the top 🫶🏻

Une megastructure d'une grandiosité peu égaler, la cathédrale Saint-Rombaut que l'ont soit de confession catholique, celto-germanique, ou encore même athée en y rentrant vous ressortirez humble de cette demeure.Ma compagne et moi-même avons chacun était à son tour, et l'émotion était la même, nous avons été ébloui et émerveillé par tant de pureté dans les sculptures, murs, les sols tout absolument tout est une œuvre d'art.La cathédrale Saint-Rombaut est égale à un musée incontournable de la ville de Mechelen.(Translated by Google)A megastructure of unparalleled grandiosity, the Saint-Rombaut Cathedral, whether of Catholic, Celtic-Germanic, or even atheist faith, upon entering you will leave this residence humbled.My partner and I each took their turn, and the emotion was the same, we were dazzled and amazed by so much purity in the sculptures, walls, floors, absolutely everything is a work of art.The Saint-Rombault Cathedral is equal to a must-see museum in the city of Mechelen.

Beautiful cathedral. Excellent organ dedicated decades ago by their famous Cathedral organist, Flor Peeters. Beautiful stained glass, statuary, and paintings. TWO fine carillons (beiaard) in the tower, played weekly on Saturdays during Market at 11:30 and Sundays at 15:00. Monday night recitals @ 20:00 in the Summer through half of September.

We had a concert there. The sound in these old churches is amazing!!@

I didn't expect in this small town has a beautiful cathedral like this. And it's just next to the Makt, worth to visit and full with history, especially its painting. Recommended.

Magnifique édifice sur une belle place, montez dans la tour (+ de 300 escaliers) afin de voir jusqu’à Bruxelles et ses environs.(Translated by Google)Magnificent building on a beautiful square, climb the tower (more than 300 stairs) to see all the way to Brussels and its surroundings.

We have been there to listen Vespers from Rachmaninoff. Environment was wonderful. Very lovely Baroque Architecture. Grand Markt is also very attractive.

What a beautiful cathedral! Loved the baroque arches (similar to many others in other parts of belgium) and the amazing architecture and artistry that is exhibited in the edifice. The grandness and luxury of these cathedrals are totally astonishing. It is free to enter, but 8€ if u wish to climb the tower itself to the lookout. The climb is only available in the afternoons i believe.

Didn't get an opportunity to go inside, but the place looks stunninig from outside. A real medeival architecture

Impressive cathedral as you expect one to be in Flanders. The art is outstanding with Antoon Van Dyck’s “Christ on the cross” stealing the show. Stained glass windows and elaborate woodwork is also worth enjoying. While the entrance to the cathedral is free, you need to pay an extra fee to climb up the belfry. I visited on a Saturday and enjoyed a big and crowded open market right in front of the cathedral.

The cathedral itself is free to enter a worth looking around. You pay to go up the tower and it's worth the fairly modest cost. There are 500 steps up, but there are several floors on the way, several devoted to the old carillon and new carillon. Carillons are a keyboard instrument that plays bells of all sizes and it's fascinating to see one playing and also watch the clock mechanism. The view from the top is also great.

Impressive building and nice art collection. It is really worth to go to the concerts they organise.

Beautifull and well maintained Cathedral. Amazing views from the topic.Historical sites with main languages available along the stairs up.Worth the visit price of 8€.

Especially beautiful, definitely worth seeing. I will definitely come back and recommend other people to visit. Regarding the price, very reasonably, for people up to 27 years old the price was 3 euros. There is also an underground parking lot nearby, the price is affordable.

Beautiful cathedral, visited during the Christmas season, the inside is less gilded than some of the other large cathedrals in Brussels or Antwerp but there is a collection of stunning artwork and the outside is beautiful to walk around

Fabulous place, didn't manage to climb the tower, dodgy knees, and no toilet facilities on the way up or at the top. But two.of our party did and said it was amazing.

A beautiful building , the minarets depicts the Islamic minarets in Middle East . Lots of effort put to maintain the building . It would be great if a silent room is built in it so people can come and read salah / prayers at it when it’s time for prayer .

A beautiful building in the center of Leuven with 235 statues to admire. It’s a must see if you are visiting Leuven. There are daily one hour tours in Dutch and English and on the weekend in French. In these tours you visit the interior of the building while learning about the history. The cost is 4 euros and you can buy tickets in the tourist office around the corner. Starting in September 2024, this building will be closed for renovation until 2029. So if you want to take a tour, I would recommend doing it now!

Honestly it can pretend to be ninth wonder of the world.The building is absolutely amazing, you can contemplate it for hours!

I saw so many city centers here in Belgium that for me it is just another one, but I can say that the buildings are very nice, they are worth to see, you can feel the right city center atmosphere, you can "smell it", you can see the crowds of people, tourists, locals, visitors, you can find many and many bars and shops there, sometimes it is good even for me to receive the city aroma so in some cases I like to go to places like this

Dieses architektonische Juwel inmitten des Grote Markts besticht durch seine aufwendige gotische Fassade, die mit Hunderten detaillierten Statuen verziert ist, die bedeutende historische Figuren und lokale Legenden darstellen. Eine Führung durch das Innere des Rathauses ist sehr beeindruckend. Das Rathaus von Leuven ist nicht nur ein Symbol der Stadt, sondern auch ein lebendiges Kunstwerk, das Besucher aus aller Welt anzieht. Definitiv einen Besuch wert!(Translated by Google)Located in the middle of the Grote Markt, this architectural gem boasts an elaborate Gothic façade decorated with hundreds of detailed statues depicting significant historical figures and local legends. A tour of the interior of the town hall is very impressive. Leuven Town Hall is not only a symbol of the city, but also a living work of art that attracts visitors from all over the world. Definitely worth a visit!

Beautiful building. I did not enter so not sure about the inside of the building. Many wedding ceremonies held during the weekend.

Amazing architecture.It was under construction when I visited

Very beautiful ! You need to book a guided tour to visit the inside part and hear some interesting stories and facts.

Magnificent and Magical - this is the most iconic spots in Leuven. I went on weekday as it was a short drive from Wavre. Both day and night view are awesome. Don’t forget to book a guided tour if you want to visit the interiors. The inside of the town hall is well preserved with wooden ceilings and chandeliers transporting us to that era. Very beautiful!!!

Unbedingt sehenswert! Nur noch bis Oktober 2024 öffentlich zugänglich, danach wird das Rathaus für 5 Jahre wegen Baumaßnahmen geschlossen sein! Von außen werden Sie staunen!Besichtigungen des Inneren sind ausschließlich über eine geführte Tour möglich, zu buchen über die Touristeninformation.Hier Anekdoten vorab. Alle Nischen wurden im 19Jhd durch über 200 Statuen besetzt, Victor Hugo soll persönlich einen Brief an den damaligen Bürgermeister von Leuven adressiert haben.Und dieses Gebäude ist nach wie vor original erhalten. Im ersten Weltkrieg hatten die Deutschen hier ihr Hauptquartier und somit konnte der Zerstörung durch einen Großbrand verhindert werden. Und im zweiten Weltkrieg explodierte eine von den Alliierten abgeworfenen Bombe nicht sondern fiel einfach zu Boden.Und der Legende verlagerte der damalige Herzog seinen Regierungssitz von Leuven nach Brüssel. Die Leuven bauten dieses herrliche Gebäude um ihn zu bewegen wieder zurück nach Leuven zu kommen. Doch das funktionierte nicht und Brüssel wurde so zur Hauptstadt des heutigen Belgiens. Angeblich bauten die Brüsseler ein noch schöneres Rathaus.I do strongly recommend the guided tours offered by the tourism office. The guides are well educated, with a lot of historical knowledge and the educational background needed.(Translated by Google)Definitely worth seeing! Only open to the public until October 2024, after which the town hall will be closed for construction work for 5 years! From the outside you will be amazed!Visits to the interior are only possible via a guided tour, which can be booked through the tourist information office.Here are anecdotes in advance. All niches were occupied by over 200 statues in the 19th century; Victor Hugo is said to have personally addressed a letter to the then mayor of Leuven.And this building is still original. During the First World War, the Germans had their headquarters here and thus the destruction caused by a major fire was prevented. And in World War II, a bomb dropped by the Allies didn't explode but simply fell to the ground.And legend has it that the then Duke moved his seat of government from Leuven to Brussels. The Leuven people built this magnificent building to encourage him to come back to Leuven. But that didn't work and Brussels became the capital of today's Belgium. Apparently the people of Brussels built an even more beautiful town hall.I do strongly recommend the guided tours offered by the tourism office. The guides are well educated, with a lot of historical knowledge and the educational background needed.

This building is certainly one that has impressed me the most while visiting Leuven.Leuven's Town Hall is the historic city's pièce de résistance. Moreover, it's one of the best-known Gothic town halls worldwide. It took three architects and thirty years to build it.Leuven's 'Hall of Fame' features 235statues, which were only added to the façade after 1850.It’s a must see if you are visiting Leuven.

The historic Leuven Town Hall is a magnificent architectural gem, showcasing Gothic beauty in the heart of the city. Its intricate design and rich history make it a must-visit landmark, offering a glimpse into the cultural heritage of Leuven.

War für ein Prachtvolles Rathaus! Ich bin total begeistert und bisher noch nie so ein besonderes schönes Rathaus gesehen!(Translated by Google)Was for a magnificent town hall! I'm totally thrilled and have never seen such a particularly beautiful town hall before!

Such a beautiful city hall, happening square. Especially great in winter with Christmas lights. Preferable to go at-least once and to keep in your bucket list.

Magnificent and Magical - this is the most iconic spots in Leuven. Don’t forget to book a guided tour if you want to visit the interiors. The inside of the town hall is well preserved with wooden ceilings and chandeliers transporting us to that era. Very beautiful!!!

truly a sight to behold. go join the tour to view the interior

This is the best-known Gothic town hall. Leuven's 'Hall of Fame' features 235 statues Which took three architects and thirty years to build it.

Very beautiful and attractive town hall with a marvellous gothic architecture. It is a master piece.

Highly recommend the current exhibit here : “Bouts and beyond” - an interactive audio tour tracing the history of Leuven, through this incredible Town Hall.

The Town Hall of Leuven, Belgium! A magnificent Gothic building that stands as a testament to the city's rich history and cultural heritage.1.

This city town hall is one of most beautiful hall, it's just stunning with the little detail of arts. Especially, with the sunset light reflex toward the Hall, just gorgeous.

Spectacular building with a Flemish Gothic façade, although the remains of Leuven's first town hall, built in 1439 and located on the main square, are no longer preserved. It has been destroyed and rebuilt three times in the last hundred years, the last time after the Second World War.On the outside we can see 236 statues, all of them of important figures in the history of the city, arranged by floors: on the ground floor we find academics and artists, on the ground floor religious figures, on the first floor members of the nobility and finally, at the top of the towers, scenes from the Bible are represented.

Super super super touristy spot. Nice to walk through the “tunnel” and go window shopping . Tons of chocolate shops, waffles, and fancy clothing stores. There is even a cinema playing indie artistic festival films that we enjoyed

Another legendary area of Brussels. Here you will find great food and lots of shopping. There are some unique shops where you can find gifts and souvenirs unlike any I have ever seen before this trip! Absolutely a must visit.

A lovely gallery that's definitely worth a visit. The 10 Euro ticket for old masters was well worth it, with a lot of great artwork pieces.There was an interactive piece that explained some paintings of one of the great Belgian masters that was a highlight. Having insight into the meaning behind all small details, was a great learning experience.The gallery is quite big and the 2-3h is what I would recommend to have enough time to visit the whole gallery without having to rush it.Worth a visit and worth grabbing a ticket. Make sure to grab a coin for the bag lockers, as they are coin operated.

A must visit in #Brussel to explore world famous beautiful Grand-Place square, the city has the first glazed shopping arcades in Europe when Royal Saint-Hubert Galleries opened in 1847, 365 costumes for the city’s famed Manneken Pis statue, Tin tin & smurf too.Amazing beer session at nearby pub with hundreds variety to choose with great taste making you more thirsty 🍻.

There are numerous luxury brand shops inside this beautifully built building. Either you wanna shop or do a window shopping its a must visit place. I loved clicking loads of picture not just the shops but the architecture of the saint huberts hall. And nor to forget to get few pictures of us clicked as well. If you wanna get some pictures without the messy crowd, have a walk early in the morning around 8 am and you should be able to get some beautiful shots!

A buzzing market place. A good old shopping center. A nice photo place.We bought some belgian chocolates from here for a good deal. Ofcourse lots of premium brands and shops.Step out and you will be at the most happening place in Brussels.

Initiated around 1837, the project led by the young architect Jean-Pierre Cluysenaer aimed to revitalize a disadvantaged neighborhood by constructing a building that would accommodate residential units, shops, cultural venues, and recreational areas. Construction commenced in 1846, and the official inauguration occurred on June 20, 1847, with the presence of Leopold I.The place formerly known as the Umbrella of Brussels was designed in the Florentine Renaissance style. Its most notable feature is the ingenious glass roof, supported by a series of self-supporting arches. The roof is adorned with fish-scale style tiles, which enhance ventilation and prevent condensation.Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert is a great place for shopping and browsing, both for locals and tourists. I can say that it offers a shelter from the unpredictable Belgian weather. There are a variety of shops, restaurants, and cafes, with a focus on chocolate ateliers and gift shops.The prices at the mall are higher compared to regular shops, as they mostly offer luxurious gifts and souvenirs.It is a pleasant place to spend time and admire beautiful things. The mall tends to be crowded during the day.

Das Gebäude mit den vielen Geschäften ist ein muss, wenn man in Brüssel ist . Wir Naschkatzen haben so einiges durchprobiert alles sehr süß und manches sehr lecker .. Auch die französiche Bücherei wunderschön .(Translated by Google)The building with its many shops is a must when you are in Brussels. We with a sweet tooth have tried a lot of things, all very sweet and some very tasty. The French library is also beautiful.

Beautiful place to be!Surely you won’t miss it when you are heading to or just finished visiting Le Grande Place.It has many shops and for sure wonderful aroma of famous Belgian chocolates are dominating. The classic interior design of the building and the details are so fascinating as well.It’s only 2 minutes walk to the famous Grande Place, so don’t miss it.

Very esthetic. The whole walkway smells of chocolate. Loved it! Removed one star because of the prices of the food/ items in the stores inside the royal gallery.

It is always a pleasure to stroll through the Royal Galleries St Hubert and see the exquisite items on display in its beautiful shop windows, buy gourmet chocolates, or sit in its cafes. Maison Dandoy is always worth a visit to get Speculoos! Italian-style gallery in the Belgian capital. Today the lighting was the same as the colors of the Ukrainian flag.

It’s really an eye catching experience strolling through the shopping mall. The high glass ceilings provide much charm and elegance. So many beautifully displayed shops and cafes. Most of the stores sell chocolate.

Beautiful arcade with very nice shops. Managed to get all my gifts here, which was handy. Also a great place to shelter from a rainy day without boxing yourself up in a restaurant or indoor cafe.

Another famous place of Brussels. It's a hub of chocolates , different foods and shopping...All the stores are really beautiful and so colourful.. it's near the central station..

Stepping into the Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert was like entering a realm of enchantment. The grandeur of the beautifully adorned architecture, with its soaring glass ceilings and intricate detailing, left me in awe.As I strolled along the elegant promenade, surrounded by luxurious shops and bustling cafes, a sense of wonder filled the air. The exquisite displays of haute couture, fine jewelry, and artisanal chocolates captivated my senses, making it a feast for both the eyes and the palate.The melodies of street musicians filled the gallery, adding a touch of harmony to the vibrant atmosphere. It was a truly unforgettable experience, where time seemed to stand still, allowing me to savor every moment in this remarkable place."

I was surprised by this shopping street at first, it is a hidden high end shopping street around this busy area with only few brands. In case you are not here for shopping and it is possible to stopby for some Belgium beers and waffles. The night view at this area is completely different from the daytime, if there is enough time. 👍

Top place to visit.Beautiful shops.I'm sure that during stormy days is a place to be, but during sunny days (yeah, sunny days in Brussels) it's too much warm inside.Anyway it's a must see place

It is one of the high end shopping arcades of Brussels where you can find the best of local brands, especially Belgian chocolate specialists.

Very enjoyable windo-displays.Can't help but fall in love with Belgian chocolate specially with how they put it on for show and the tasty experience in each store 🥰🍫

Fantastic place. Beautiful stores, full of history and amazing places to get great souvenirs and of course chocolate.

Place is amazing to look at, I was there when stores were closed, but I was very surprised with all of the apparels.

Un loc istoric, plăcut , cu magazine de lux, produse de calitate și prețuri pe măsură. În anumite momente este foarte aglomerat.(Translated by Google)A historical, pleasant place, with luxury shops, quality products and reasonable prices. At certain times it is very crowded.

Thoroughly enjoyed visiting here. If you have seen the Wonka movie from 2023, this is like a real life Gallery Gourmet, lined with beautiful chocolate shops. The high glass roof is stunning. We enjoyed purusing the different window displays and sat with some delicious matcha and Moroccan tea to people watch.My only qualm is that at one end of the gallery there are steps to exit and although there was a ramp for wheelchairs, it was blocked by metal jutting out of the wall and therefore unusable.

Visited late, most shows were closed. But it'd be a great place to see when all shops are open.

Viele souvinierläden, jeder hat schönere artikel als der andere. Der schokoladen laden dort war klasse. Wir waren auf dem ommegang, ein belgisches fest für den König und seinen hoheitlichen besuch. Ein abstecher lohnt sich !(Translated by Google)Lots of souvenir shops, each one has nicer items than the next. The chocolate shop there was great. We were at the Ommegang, a Belgian festival for the king and his royal visit. A detour is worth it!

Nice galleries, restaurants and many shops, especially with sweets.If you are visiting Brussels, you can pass through the galleries on the way from the Grote Markt to the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula.

Absolutely gorgeous arcade. It’s super popular and packed with tourists, but it is so beautiful. There are some great shops here too. Definitely worth visiting when in Brussels.

Rain or shine, walk the gallery like a boss. You will find gifts, eateries, the best confectionery, and art. It gets a little busy if tours are guiding groups; so plan to move slow if you have small children. A nice stroll if you have a mobility impairment, no stairs or steps make it very friendly.

Very similar to Milan's Gallery , lots of chocolate shops over the venue , very bright and extremely nice.The cafes inside are very classy .

The Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert in Brussels is a captivating cultural gem that blends history and elegance. The stunning architecture and charming ambience create a unique shopping and cultural experience. The intricate design of the gallery, with its glass roof and delicate detailing, adds a touch of grandeur to the atmosphere. The diverse range of shops, from boutiques to chocolatiers, offers a delightful mix of Belgian craftsmanship. I was enchanted by the artistic displays and quality craftsmanship of the local artisans. While the experience is undoubtedly enchanting, a few more interactive exhibits or informational plaques could enhance the visit. Nonetheless, the Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert is a must-visit for those seeking a sophisticated blend of history, art, and upscale shopping in the heart of Brussels. Four stars for its timeless charm and cultural allure!

Beautiful architecture, steeped in history and charm. Walking through its elegant arcades feels like stepping back in time, imagining how the noble families used to shop back in the days. The stunning glass ceilings flood the space with natural light, enhancing the ambiance of the boutiques, chocolatiers, and cafes nestled within. It's a perfect blend of culture, shopping, and indulgence, having also a theatre accessible from the passage.

One of the oldest galleries in Europe, this has a little bit of variety for most everyone, and just around the corner from the Grand place. It also has its typical restaurants, brasseries, and trendy bars.This 19th century gallery consists of the King’s gallery (Galerie du Roi), Queens Gallery (Galerie de la Reine) and Prince’s gallery (Galerie des Princes), must visit while you are in Brussels. You can easily spend a a couple of hours if not half a day or longer here.

Nice place.wide veritas of Belgium chocolate and waffles. Very interesting architecture, lots of details. The coffee Haus was great 😃

Must visit, so gorgeous even if you don’t want to buy anything. Grabbed coffee at one of the small cafes and sat outside and people watched, definitely the highlight of my trip!

Die königliche Galerie muss man in Brüssel gesehen haben. Die Architektur ist absolut sehenswert, der licht Einfluss durch das Glas Dach ist einfach unheimlich romantisch. Auch die Shops in der mall sind sehenswert. Wie hatten noch eine super musikalische Unterhaltung vor der Tür.(Translated by Google)The Royal Gallery is a must-see in Brussels. The architecture is absolutely worth seeing, the light influence through the glass roof is simply incredibly romantic. The shops in the mall are also worth seeing. We had a great musical entertainment just outside the door.

We happened to be here during the national holiday and we're treated to an event that honored those that fought for Belgium. Beautiful big cathedral that towers over everything else. Lovely pipe organ that we got to hear for the event. Definitely worth seeing.

What a stunning cathedral!! The interior is so beautiful and felt so peaceful. We went towards closing time (5pm) and therefore it was very quiet inside. Definitely worth a detour if you are into cathedrals and architecture. The outside is modest looking, but a absolutely breathtaking inside.

St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral is a breathtaking masterpiece in Brussels, renowned for its stunning Gothic architecture and intricate artworks. The cathedral’s grand interior, adorned with beautiful stained glass windows and impressive sculptures, offers a rich visual experience. The fact that entry is free makes it even more accessible, allowing visitors to fully appreciate its artistic and historical significance without any cost. A must-visit for art and history enthusiasts seeking a moment of awe and inspiration.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals I have ever seen in my life. The atmosphere inside the church is very quiet and peaceful. The entry is free but you can light candles with 1 or 2 euros. It seemed like a popular tourist spot and the place is near grand place.

A beautiful cathedral with a presence over the skyline in Brussels. Love the architecture and the decoration on the outside of the cathedral. It was equally as nice on the inside. Not as decorated as some places I have seen, but very nice.

Very Easy recommendation for a stop during your vacation trip to Brussels Belgium. This is a must while touring the city ! It is really hard to be deceived by the place.Very big and majestic medieval Roman Catholic cathedral in the heart of the city near the famous grote markt. Multiple connections to public transport 👌🏻Many spiritual events take place inside of the structure so I would recommend checking their very well done website for more information.Entry is free and very worth it !Parking is a bit complicated, I would not recommend visiting by car.

Super beautiful, both inside and outside. Really big cathedral, inside there is a machine for you to get a souvenir coins for 2 euros. Architecture is super amazing, super amazed by the inside.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals I have ever been in. Go early if you don’t want to see a lot of tourists because it gets busy very quickly. Stunning architecture, and they had a gorgeous display of nativities from around the world. Colder inside than outside, so dress warmly!

Beautiful church :-)When you enter in the afternoon (I went on a Saturday), just next to the door you have volunteers who take you around.The visit was around 1h and went in great detail (interesting information) of the church, stain glass windows and history.It's a great way to see more than what appears at first glance.

Well maintained/restored structure sure to be popular with architectural history buffs. You can roam around freely to take in all the details and there are not any restrictions on photography (like in some cathedrals). I especially liked the old school confessional which brought me back to my parochial school days.

An incredible masterpiece of architecture and art… well worth the visit! So much history and so many pieces of art and sculpture… Enough to fill hours if you want! The building is very impressive.

A Spiritual HavenI recently had the opportunity to visit, and it left a profound impact on me. The warm and welcoming atmosphere, coupled with heartfelt sermons, created a sense of community and connection. The beautiful architecture and peaceful surroundings added to the overall spiritual experience. Whether you're a regular churchgoer or just seeking a moment of reflection, u should visit once.

This is one of the top cathedrals I have seen in my travels. This gothic cathedral has soaring ceilings, beautiful stained glass windows, and ornate designs. The cathedral was not terribly busy inside, which made the visit even better. There is a self-guided tour available through your phone, which was a nice addition to learning more about the history and the specific designs around the cathedral. It’s a stunning place to worship, and I’m certain the concert offerings sound wonderful in the space.

This is such a beautiful and historic church which helps tell the story of Catholicism in Brussels. This was definitely a highlight for my 2-day visit to the city. The architecture both outside and inside are incredibly beautiful and the art inside helps one contemplate the spiritual life deeply. In one of the side altars you can venerate first class relics of St. John Paul II, St. Fortunata, Sts. Peter and Bartholomew (apostles), and St. Paul (apostle). ALSO, please please please do not skip out on the mini "museum" they have on the left side of the church (€3 to enter). As a practicing Catholic, as if visiting the saints I mentioned weren't enough, in the mini "museum" you can venerate relics of Jesus' true Cross and a thorn from his Crown of Thorns, as well as relics of St. John the Baptist, St. Agatha, St. Gudule, St. Sebastian, St. Balbina, St. Anthony Abbott, St. Rolendis, St. Waldetrude, St. Pharaildis, and St. Joseph (!!!!). You will also find a tabernacle holding one of the hosts that bled from the eucharistic miracle of Brussels from 1370.I don't know how long these relics have been available for veneration in this mini "museum" I am just so very glad I went in to see who of our saint friends I could visit. God truly knows what we need before we even know it because my morning here was a glimpse of heaven, and a gift I will always go back to in prayer. 🤍 I pray that others re-encouter God in this holy place and for courage to say yes to his invitation. All you holy men and women, pray for us!

Magnífica, sin duda ninguna una visita obligada por las maravillas que encontrarás en su interior. Las vidrieras más espectaculares que haya visto, con una calidad increíble y que te hacen pensar que estás viendo una pantalla de TV. Un órgano colgado impresionante. Sobrecoge tanto por fuera, donde su parecido a la fachada de Notre Dame de París es patente, como en el interior donde puedes pasar horas viendo todos los detalles que tiene. Fuera hay un parque pequeño con sillas y tumbonas para descansar a la sombra y algunos bancos orientados a la fachada para disfrutar de su vista. No dejéis de ir bajo ningún concepto.(Translated by Google)Magnificent, without a doubt a must-see for the wonders you will find inside. The most spectacular stained glass windows I have ever seen, with incredible quality and that make you think you are watching a TV screen. An impressive hanging organ. It is impressive both on the outside, where its resemblance to the façade of Notre Dame in Paris is evident, and on the inside where you can spend hours seeing all the details it has. Outside there is a small park with chairs and sun loungers to rest in the shade and some benches facing the façade to enjoy the view. Don't stop going under any circumstances.

The Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula in Brussels is breathtaking. The Gothic architecture, stunning stained glass windows, and serene atmosphere make it a must-visit. The intricate details and historical significance of this cathedral are truly remarkable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Brussels!

Holds a significant place in Belgian history as a cathedral closely associated with royalty. It has been the site of numerous royal weddings, funerals, and other important ceremonies throughout the centuries. Gothic architecture at its finest, but I must admit I liked the stained glass at Church of Our Lady of Victories at the Sablon better.

Magnificent organ, exclaimed a lady nearby! She may have been an actress, but the bishop was nowhere to be seen. If it's good enough for Victoria Hugo, it's certainly good enough for me! Although I think he was more impressed by the amazing pulpit.There's nothing not to like about the Cathedral. There are lots of things that I liked.The building is magnificent, inside and out. That sort of goes without saying for a cathedral, but what I particularly liked about this one was accessibility (financially)It's free to enter, which means pretty much anybody can have a look inside.The Roman ruins below are only 1€/person to visit down short flights of steps (so not quite so accessible! Sorry)You can take photos in most parts of the cathedral.It is close to the main square and has good transport links.I think the highlight, and I agree with Vic on this one, is the pulpit. It's incredibly elaborate and ornate. I would definitely keep some time aside to visit.

Went on a Saturday morning. Not too busy. It’s free. Very ornate, beautiful and large. Seems little smaller than Notre Dame de Paris, though. This is apparently where royalties get married. Convenient location in the city center. Well worth a visit.Lot of tour groups come by here. The self guided online tour will set you back 4 or 5 euros.

I went on a Sunday and even though busy there was no waiting around and people coming and going. It maybe better during a weekday week so you can soak in the atmosphere, the history and the peace and quite but if you don't mind crowds then a weekend is fine. There are great carvings and the stained glass windows are a wonder, the skills the tradesmen must have had back in the old days is unbelievable. There is a charge for the museum and a small section under the cathedral but this is minimal and adds to the cost of maintaining this wonderful building. The views across the city from the steps are great on s clear day, and well worth the walk to the cathedral especially as its free to enter.

This was a stunning cathedral to visit in Brussels. The exterior reminds you of the facade from Notre Dame and the stained glass windows on the interior are beautiful. Well worth a visit and no entrance fee.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals I’ve seen so far. Such intricate interior carvings and glass staining, it’s amazing. The architecture is truly mesmerising, especially considering the fact that it was built so long ago. It’s free entry so was relatively busy when we went but still so peaceful.

Amazing details and so much history. Great place to visit even if you aren't religious the details in the art is amazing.Great place to pray and lights candles as well.

Beautiful cathedral and still in use today. Serene with the organ music. Deserves reverence both as a church and an iconic Landmark.

The church has a magical atmosphere. I recommend those who come to Brussels to see it. The figures, sculptures, engravings and atmosphere inside were perfect.

It is an absolutely beautiful cathedral, the best one I've seen. The stained-glass windows are beautiful, and the inside wooden statues are also very detailed

The Cathedral of Saints Michael and Gudula has a Gothic style and is very impressive with its height. Don't miss out on visiting the interior, which is also very beautiful.

This medieval Roman Catholic Church in the center of the city in Brussels is worth visiting. The gothic chapels and the choir, Nave with gothic characteristics, the stained-glass windows etc., are all a spectacle.In front of the cathedral is this lovely garden, we were treated to the blooming spring flowers! This garden is so peaceful and lively, and you can sit on the benches here or enjoy the view from the stairs of the cathedral.

Stunning sensation when stepping into this beautiful space full of wonderful buildings each decorated with its own special details.I approached it from every side street, amazing every time. A day visit was as interesting as the night visit, both highly recommended. Soak in the grandeur of the history...

Majestic Marvel in the Heart of BrusselsMy visit to Grand Place in Brussels was nothing short of enchanting. The UNESCO World Heritage site exudes grandeur with its opulent guildhalls and the stunning Town Hall. The intricate detailing of the architecture, especially during the evening light show, is awe-inspiring. The vibrant flower carpet, a testament to creativity, added a burst of color to the historical square. Surrounded by charming cafes, this central hub is a must-visit for anyone exploring Brussels.

tunning Central Location with History and Shopping!The Grand Place in Brussels is truly captivating! Located in the heart of the city, it’s not only a beautiful square with stunning architecture but also a place rich in history. You can spend hours admiring the intricate details of the buildings. Plus, the area is lined with numerous shops, making it a great spot for shopping—whether you’re looking for souvenirs or something special. A perfect blend of culture and commerce, this is a must-visit when in Brussels!

Fantastic place to pause and enjoy the architecture after walking around town. My favorite activity here is to just grab a drink and people watch! Make sure you visit once during the day and again at night because the buildings are gorgeous when they are lit up.

It is the symbol of Brussels and a must visit location. Every building in this place worths a photograph. There are nice cafes and restaurants around. And if you come here during the day, you must wait for the evening lights to show up and see the buildings again with a night view. Be careful for the robbers around and watch your belongings always.

Amazing hang out spot in a huge open area. A multitude of restaurants and sweets shops are in the area to satisfy your cravings, and there is lots of other shopping all nearby too. This place is one of the reasons they say Belgium is the heart of Europe!

This seems to be the main place to visit when in Brussels. It was packed with tourists every time we passed through. The building are all excellent to look at, with really interesting external details. You can easily get from here to other attractions by walking (the inner centre isn't huge). Loads of Cafes/waffles/Chocolate and lager/beer in the surroundings.

A great place in Brussels any time of day and late night. Always bustling qith tourists and locals. A lot of restaurant choices all around the place. I visited this place both during the day and the night and it was equally good. The nighttime view is great die to the wonderful colorful lighting. We had a wonderful time visiting this place.

From small alleys when you enter into Grand Palace square, it opens up into a true grand view with huge palace structures all around you! amazing architecture and those shining golden color towers adds greatly to the magnificent architecture. Wonderful place to take insta pics and fine outside dining bars and cafes.

Nice place to hang around with family and kids. Xmas market is started from november 23rd 2023.. nice view. Good place to buy souvenirs. There are entertainment available for kids

GREAT experience. Even got to see one lady come out of the balcony(the crowd was roaring when she came out). Beautiful street nearby with many waffle, chocolate, fries and ice cream shops.

Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. French-inspired, gilded architecture transports you to a different time. Shops and food available in all directions. Many restaurants are on the pricey side, but simple fare can also be found. Guided tours including the area are also available, however our visit was still quite enjoyable 'unsupervised.'

One of the most interesting and beautiful spots in Brussels. The square is surrounded by very beautiful and astonishing buildings. It's a must visit place in Brussels. It's fantastic during the day and marvelous during the night with the lights making it very special. Highly recommended.

Stunning grand place! The guild houses are beautiful! Check out the town halls architecture. At first sight it look symmetrical but if you look closer nothing is symmetrical. The plaza is also used for open air events. When we were there the Jazz festival was taking place. Definitely worth a visit!

It was so amazing visit Brussel.. especially grand place. It is full of historical building. The building so huge. Old but classic. Fantastic. I suggest you to visit grand place and try to eat the waffle and French fries ... so yummy ... But it is better you visit on the work day... Because will full of people on the weekend or holiday time. Have A good one 🥰

One of the best centric place of Brussels, it's close to the central station.. it's a very much crowded area...The buildings and statue architecture is so unique and attractive..you can walk and enjoy the beautiful city places and views..

An amazing place steeped in history and character. The hustle and bustle of the area added to the atmosphere. I was pushing my son in a wheelchair and found it a little challenging but it was manageable. I felt safe and didn't need to worry too much about pickpocketing.

Gorgeous square, amazing architecture and a safe feeling amongst the hoards of people. If you can wait until the lights come on after the sun goes down makes for a more magical experience

This palace holds a lot of history, and apart from that, I think it's a place you have to visit once in a lifetime. It is very lively, beautiful, and cultural. I love that there are a lot of people, tourists and friendly nationals.The most beautiful thing is turning around and finding a store to get chocolate 🍫 which I recommend you get from Godiva, with their history from 1926. I did visit this place hurriedly and I hope I'll have the pleasure of coming here again. Until then, aurevoir.

The Grand Place (French: [ɡʁɑ̃ plas]; "Grand Square"; also used in English) or Grote Markt (Dutch: [ˌɣroːtə ˈmɑr(ə)kt]; "Big Market") is the central square of Brussels, Belgium, and widely considered one of the most beautiful squares in the world. Here's a breakdown of why it's worth visiting.The Grand Place is a stunning ensemble of baroque guildhalls, representing the wealth and power of the Brussels guilds in the 17th century.The ornate facades, with their intricate details, sculptures, and gilding, are a feast for the eyes.Two prominent buildings flank the square: the Gothic Brussels Town Hall with its towering spire and the neo-gothic Maison du Roi (King's House), now housing the Brussels City Museum.

How can anyone visit Brussels without visiting the Grand Plaza? It’s simply remarkable. I’ve stayed on the Grand Plaza which is pretty remarkable in itself, observing the ebb and flow of visitors and the living panoply of the crowds, groups, coming, going and traversing of the place, the plaza in dark and day and in between. Remember: it’s never empty, even at 3 or 4 in morning. It’s very busy. But being there and seeing the vitality and variety that visits is something to see. It’s the tourist center of Brussels so you have access to all and the best of tourist type offerings, excellent, mediocre and camp. And food & drink are a bit dear right there (although not exorbitantly so) so you have to go a bit abroad for a more authentic local flavor and local pricing. The accommodations on the Plaza an excellent too.

One of the most famous places in Brussels - the main square. It has lovely buildings around it with fascinating architecture. Definitely a must visit place! There is wide range of coffee, bars and restaurants in a short walking distance.

This is a really beautiful town square in the middle of Brussels and a must visit site if you come to Brussels.Here you can also easily find a good meal - why not try a Brussels specialty while here? Or maybe get one of the many, many, many great tasting Belgian beers you can get here?

One of the prettiest market squares that I have ever seen! Every other year, a huge flower carpet is created in the middle of it. You can admire it for free from ground level or buy access to the balconies of the city hall or the King's House. You can also climb the city hall tower to see it!

Wonderful experience. So many glittering houses and cobalt stone laid footpaths. The vibes of mediaeval Europe can be found here. I enjoyed it a lot.

Nice place to watch in evening, we were expecting a light show but it was just normal lighting as in pics. Waited for an hour and there was no light show. The square is good to hangout

Very cool spot for walking or relaxing while drinking or eating. The town hall located in Grand Place is very imposing which makes you be in awe of it. In rush hours, the square can be very crowded but even then you can enjoy your moments. This place is a must-visited one!!

Although touristy, it's worth the struggle...lol. yummy food options around the alley ways to the square, pricey, but quite good! Crowds in June were reasonable and manageable. We enjoyed our walk around this area and the square it's is amazing!

Such a beautiful square and definitely worth a visit if you enjoy architecture; there's a real mix of gothic, medieval, and baroque and it is all visually very stunning.La Grand Place is very close to lots of eateries and coffee houses, many of which are very reasonably priced. There is also a tourist information office on the square and a beer museum.Beware of extremely uneven cobbles, which aren't to be attempted without a power attachment on a wheelchair-I tried and failed! Returned with a power attachment and it was a breeze.

Mesmerising views, great vibe to the place, lods of restaurants, waffle and chocolate shop everywhere. It's centre of the city and you can easily spend an hour looking around or more if you planning to have your lunch/dinner here.

I am a local & proud to share that grand place has always some or the other thing for all. The beautiful guild buildings stand pretty and looks stunning during night time . Several great heritage shops & restaurants bars around. It’s a safe place to take stroll solo also. It’s truly the beating heart of Brussels city . You can expect some live bands playing & more activities during spring summer .

Pretty cool spot to see in person with all the gold trim on all the buildings at the square. Was very busy even during the week with lots of visitors and locals it seemed. We just spent enough time to try the famous fries and admire the buildings but moved on to other spots within the city fairly quickly

Large court yard in between many iconic shops. The buildings are all very large and beautiful, fitting of the name. In this place you will find the Belgian beer museum and many other lovely shops. Also all the streets leading to the place has many restaurants etc that gives this place a very special feeling.

What a vibrant place! So much energy and happy vibes. Been here twice and enjoyed it the second time around as well as the first one (Even on a Monday). Lots of shops and restaurant within the vicinity, can easily spend the whole day here for a lovely city day or weekend break ❤️

Stunning buildings in the square. Really busy. Didn't have time to venture inside but you can pay to enter. Beautiful architecture.

Pretty superb site, such ornate old buildings, all unique, with statues and gold accents. Worth grabbing some to go food and just staring. Definitely an extremely crowded and central location. I did not go to the museum which requires a paid ticket.

Jun24- as public squares in European countries, this is opulent, large and well appointed for seeing other sites.Bars and shops plentiful. Not overly expensive either and I find staff in Brussels very friendly mostly.Busy but not packed.Artists well their wares too so you can find something you like.

The Grand Place in Brussels is a stunning and historic square that captivates with its opulent architecture and rich history. The beautifully ornate buildings, including the impressive City Hall and guild houses, create a breathtaking backdrop. The vibrant atmosphere, especially during evening illuminations or local events, adds to its charm. It's an absolute must-visit for anyone wanting to experience the grandeur and cultural significance of Brussels.

One of the best squares in whole Europe. Very enchanting and lively. The architecture is just amazing and very detailed. Every time I visit Brussels I try to spend a moment here and just to my fav cafe and get a waffle

Grand-Place is architecturally breathtaking. You can stand them up the square and be mesmerized for hours of all the architectural details but that’s hard to do because the people watching is also so much fun! And the heart of Brussels it brings your heart to life.

Visited Brussels for a day and it was amazing time spent with my friends. The Grand Place is a marvelous piece of architecture. There was a huge crowd but it was worth visiting. There are lot of eateries, shops around so you'll get everything you want around thus place.

The Grand Place in Brussels is absolutely breathtaking! The buildings are huge and beautifully restored, offering a fascinating glimpse into history. The experience is especially magical at night when the whole square lights up and looks stunning. Of course, a must-visit for anyone in Brussels, both for its architectural grandeur and its enchanting evening atmosphere.

I’ve been to Begijnhoven all over Belgium. Probably because it is a mostly-Dutch/Belgian concept, but still. All of them have the same characteristics (green grass courtyards for washing clothes, little houses right next to each other and cosy streets, a church on the grounds, etc..) but what makes this one special is not-hidden in the name. It is pretty big. The one in Antwerp and Tongeren are small in comparison (not less cute though).You’d be amiss not to stroll through this serene and walled-in area of Leuven, stubbing your toes against the cobblestones and wondering if people still live here (spoiler: a lot of students still do).

Calm and fun stroll in the 18th century. For coffee go to the cute cat Cafe just a few minutes walk away.

Such a lovely and peaceful area. I really felt like i stepped back in time. Definitely worth a visit ♥️

A quiet lovely villiage perfect for a contemplative walk. Pairs well with the botanical gardens a modest walk away.

A beautiful tiny town built inside another beautiful town, Leuven.It is an official UNESCO world heritage site, built in 1232, it's a place of silence and rest, where students, professors and visitors from abroad live to be near of the University

Beautiful relaxing place totally worth a visit when in Leuven. Its a well deserved Unesco site. The history of the Beguines is worth exploring as a movement challenging traditions and cultures, and alternative points of view.

The best Begijnhof in Belgium in my opinion. And Belgium has a lot of beautiful ones! But this particular one is stunning. We visited on a weekday and it was so peaceful.

Nice place to see historical buildings.

It’s a breathtaking testament to history and architectural grandeur, buildings of Gothic and Renaissance styles.

Beautiful ancient buildings, as if returning to the past years, worth visiting

Groot Begijnhof Leuven is an absolute gem! It's like an oasis of rest right in the middle of the city. Walking through this medieval retreat feels like you've stepped into another era. A quiter one. The cobblestone streets and old buildings are so peaceful and beautiful. It's the perfect spot to escape the hustle and just soak in the quiet, historic vibes. If you need a break and love a bit of history, you gotta check this place out!

Gives you a very old colonial vibe as soon as you step into the streets. Its a well preserved beguinage containing numerous houses and apartments and is owned by the University for its housing needs. With beautiful brick houses, stone walkways, canals and a garden…this is a must visit spot in Leuven

UNESCO WH site. Gorgeous and well restored housing which is now used for student accommodation in Leuven.Free to access and wonder around, quietness is encouraged as the place is quiet and peaceful so visitors are encouraged to keep noise to a minimum.Walking distance from Leuven city centre.One thing I did notice was the lack of bins and seating areas to take a break during the walk.

A must-see historical site if you want to see a wonderfully restored old village compound once inhabited by hundreds of women from the religious order of the beguines. The beguinage covers a relatively large area intertwined with a river, a lot of green, magnificent historical buildings and the beguin church, open to the public. The site is inhabited by a few happy students and university professors who would be pleased with a bit of silence. In other words: a tourist location but no typical attraction for noisy kids or anyone looking for a coffee place, restaurant or souvenir shop. Only paid parking spots can be found in the near vicinity. Wheelchair access is challenging since the compound is paved with cobblestones.

I love this place because I can feel the lives of people in the past and now. Small windows with non-flat glasses and their live through the windows attract me and make me go back to past. Bumpy stone-paved road help me to imagine the world without cars.

Very nice old district, we had luck to be there at Sunday evening. It was almost empty, very calm, with romantic flair and seldom pedestrians passing the streets. Definitely one "must-see" during the visit to Loeven!

Really calm and nice place, worth a visit if you are in the area

It feels exceptional to stay at a world heritage site, the magnificent “Groot Begijnhof”, where I had the opportunity to stay during my visiting professorship at KU Leuven.

The begijnhof neighborhood in Leuven is recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site (along with other begijnhofs in Flanders). It feels as though you’re stepping back in time while walking through the immaculately well-maintained streets admiring the old stone roads and the red brick buildings. A professor at the local university informed us that the residents are a mix of established locals as well as university students. Irrespective of the profiles of the neighborhood’s inhabitants, it is extremely serene, quiet and feels safe even walking alone late at night. While it is a good hike from the train station and a bit away from the center of town, make the trip to the begijnhof for a step back in time.

My wife and I spent 3 very enjoyable hours here, and would have spent longer if they hadn't been closing!The included audio guide is really interesting, as while it doesn't offer explanations of the instruments, it does provide many sound clips of them being played, usually as part of a song. Tip: look carefully at the listing for each instrument, as some also have videos of them being played.Most of the signs are in Dutch, French, and English. Also note that the museum has air conditioning, which was so nice on a hot August day!There were some closures of parts of the museum for renovation (I believe the cafe was unfortunately closed), so check the web site for status before you go.

The Musical Instruments Museum (MIM) in Brussels is one of the most renowned museums of its kind in the world. Located in the heart of the city, it is housed in the stunning Old England building, a beautiful example of Art Nouveau architecture. The museum boasts a collection of over 8,000 instruments from around the globe, showcasing the rich history and diversity of musical traditions. Visitors can explore everything from ancient instruments to modern creations, with many exhibits enhanced by audio guides that play the sounds of the instruments on display. The museum offers an immersive experience that appeals to both music lovers and those interested in cultural history.

Excellent museus... lots of instruments and they have some portable tablets where you can type a number and hear the instrument, they provide headphones, but if you have a bighead or want something more comfortable, bring your own.Tables and headphones at this moment are free of charge. But they can't guarantee the headphones.Currently the restaurant on the 6th floor is closed.Be aware that they have a store inside the museum where you can purchase some very nice music related gifts.

🎷🎺🎼🥁🎸🪕The Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels is an excellent destination for music enthusiasts and anyone interested in learning more about different types of instruments from around the world. The museum has an impressive collection of instruments from various cultures, and the exhibits are presented in an engaging way that is both informative and entertaining.One of the standout features of the museum is the audio guide that visitors can use to learn more about the different instruments on display. The guide provides detailed information about the history and cultural significance of each instrument, as well as audio samples of how they sound.

Best museum in Brussels. Take your time, you'll need at least 2-3 hours to visit the whole museum. They have a lot of instruments and you can listen how they sound (sometimes 20-30 sec samples, sometimes full 2-3 minutes audio). There's a full collection to view and listen and you don't want to rush it. Visit all the floors, including the underground one. It's worth it, even if you're not a musician or an aficionado.

Very nice collection of musical instruments, well maintained and presented. I was a bit disappointed that the lower level, which appeared to contain mechanical instruments, appeared to be closed off. I say appeared to, because signage was lacking and I didn't want to ask any questions of the front staff insofar as they looked like they wished they were dead.

We visited the museum during the weekend. I really liked it, when purchasing tickets they give you an audio guide that allows you to hear the sound of almost every instrument! An incredibly large number of different institutions that I had never seen before. I recommend visiting this museum, children will also find it interesting.

Best musical instruments museum in Europe. The whole building consists of 6 floors (2 of them are restaurant under revocation) basically covering all kinds of musical instruments from different era!And free audio guide with videos!

Unbelievably good, great for kids. You receive a tablet that you input the audio numbers of the particular instrument and can listen to it on headphones. I thought the whole museum was on the first floor I walked through but it’s on three or four floors. The building is incredible, this museum should be on the list of must see things to do in Bruxells. My pictures don’t do it justice, as I was to involved in the music itself

This was a very fun museum, with so many instruments from throughout the ages. They give you an audioguide where you can listen to the instruments being played so that the experience is much more enlightening. I learned a lot and really enjoyed my time here, so this museum can definitely be recommended if you want to try a different kind of museum!

Quite a whimsical museum with all imaginable and unimaginable types of instruments. The possibility of listening to them all, is very nice and if you have an interest in architecture then the old building will make an impression.

This was brilliant! For musicians and even just music lovers this place was incredible. There is so much to see and you can listen to each instrument via a hand held device provided free on entry. There a lockers to store your bags and toilets. It’s huge! With over 200 instruments, so if you really want to take it all in you would need minimum of 3 hours. My sons favourite part was the piano floor.

Great collection of musical instruments. Using the audio guide, you can hear the sound of each instrument... quite nice feature.

The audio tour that's included is amazing. There are three floors packed with instruments mostly from around 1500-1900 (and some even older or newer). With the tour you can type in the numbers of the instruments and hear how they (would've) sound. 2 hrs was barely enough to absorb everything. We skipped through the floor with keyboards because we were overstimuled. Only minus I could name was the staff at the entrance that did not seem to enjoy themselves that day.

This museum was a wonderful surprise and the highlight of my visit to Brussels! It has a huge and varied collection of instruments. The included audio guide has recordings of music being played on many of them, and occasionally some additional text or video about a particular instrument.I think 2 hours is enough to see the museum, but I spent about 3 hours enjoying the many recordings, especially of the folk or historical instruments. I have a long list of songs and artists to look up now!The audio guide did crash a few times after I listened to so many recordings, but luckily it was easy to restart.

Lot to see and should expect to spend at least 2 hours to cover 3 floors. 28 and under are free to enter. Audio guides are free as well. Musical instruments from different times and places are displayed.Some good views from the second floor.

Medium sized collection of musical instruments spread on three floors, roughly split into traditional, classical and mechanical. You will need at least 1 hour to walk through the collection. The audio guide presents many of the instruments recordings. Can get quite crowded on weekends.

Very cool museum with tons of floors! You will spend most of your time walking through all of the different instruments and listening through provided headsets to the various music and sounds. You could easily spend hours here. Highly recommend

Definitely worth the visit if you're in Brussels and have a few hours to spare. They have the most beautiful collection of instruments and they give you a headset so you can listen to the instruments which was great! I loved this museum visit ❤️

A trip of senses ! The Audio guide is amazing !! I could have spent the whole day in the museum ! I have seen several instrument museums in the past but nothing comparable to that depth

One of the most unique experiences ever. It's definitely worth a visit as the audio guide really brings the instruments to life.The staff are really kind and they even let me play a piano on the top floor!Will definitely recommend to all types of music lovers.

Visited this museum as it was rainy on our day in Brussels and it exceeded expectations... Really interesting instruments and loved that you could listen to them on the audio guide. We were also lucky to be able to attend a free concert that was on during our visit. The glass lift was a lovely bonus!

There are so many unique instruments shown together with the audio guide that give you examples of how the instrument sounds like. I think spending around 2 hours here would be great but if you want the whole track of every instrument maybe 3-4 hours

Very cool museum to all ages! You get the audioguide to listen to the instruments included in the ticket and they have a great variety of instruments. I just didn't get why we were suggested to start from the top down, as the first floor has the non classic instruments, they are super cool and unfortunately we had to do that room super quickly because the museums closes at 4.45pm

After encountering so many world war 2 monuments within Luxembourg I wanted to know more about what exactly happened here during world war 2. And this museum came highly recommended, it didn't disappoint not one bit. It left me cold with goose bumps about the stories that where told through an audio headpiece. And through the myriad of infographics pictures etc.

Absolument remarquable ce mémorial et musée.Didactique, moderne, prenant.La collaboratrice de la boutique très aimable et professionnelle.Je suis déjà venu à deux reprises à cet endroit. La première fois en 1976. Quel changement. Bravo belle adaptation et mise en valeur de la mémoire des personnes qui se sont sacrifiées.Félicitations(Translated by Google)Absolutely remarkable this memorial and museum.Didactic, modern, engaging.The co-worker of the shop very friendly and professional.I have been to this place twice already. The first time in 1976. What a change. Congratulations, beautiful adaptation and enhancement of the memory of the people who sacrificed themselves.Congratulation

Wirklich ein sehr interessantes Center. Ein toller Audiotourguide führt einen durch das in perfektem Zusammenspiel erstellten Auftrifft zwischen Exponaten, Video, Licht- und Toneffekten, Informationstafeln durch das ganze Gebäude. Seinen Eintrittspreis in jedem Fall wert. Parkplatz 5€, Wohnmobile können auch übernachten. Nur schade das es immer wieder Autofahrer gibt, die die großen Busparkplätze zuparken, obwohl 10m weiter mehr als ausreichend PKW Parkplätze vorhanden sind. Kommen gerne wieder, sehr beeindruckend!(Translated by Google)Really a very interesting center. A great audio tour guide leads you through the entire building through the perfect interaction between exhibits, video, light and sound effects, and information boards. Definitely worth the price of admission. Parking space €5, mobile homes can also stay overnight. It's just a shame that there are always drivers who park in the large bus parking spaces, even though there are more than enough car parking spaces 10m away. We'd love to come back, very impressive!

Perhaps one of the most beautiful museums ever visited. Actually it's not only a museum, it's the history lived and described by four different people who lived those troubled times: a US soldier, a German officer, a young teacher from Bastogne and a child from Bastogne. A very, very touching experience, especially for someone who's grandfather fought in WWII. Many thanks to the organizers and management of the museum, this is truly an unique and brilliant way to show the history. You deserve 10 stars, not only 5, well done!!

Excellent museum, focusing on the battle of the Bulge. You get a headset at the reception that leads you through the museum and tells the story from four different perspectives. This includes eloborate moving dioramas and many artifacts and vehicles. Tour is available in English, German, French and Dutch and probably more languages. Staff is helpful, and the cafetaria and book shop are nice.

Excellent museum, one of the best I've ever been too. Everything is explained in multiple languages (English, French, German and Dutch). The exhibit covers pre-WW2, WW2, and post WW2. It's very moving at times. My whole family enjoyed it, even the teenagers! If you are in the area, you must visit!

Très beau musée, avec une très belle vue, pas mal de monde. L’accueil était super. J’ai bien aimé le monument avec l’aigle a côté(Translated by Google)Very nice museum, with a very nice view, a lot of people. The reception was great. I liked the monument with the eagle next to it

Great experience at the museum today. Very informative, very thought provoking, very poignant. A great day out. Staff very helpful, speaking very good English. Audio accompaniment to aid you through each section of the museum. There are lots to read, bring your glasses if you need them.

Overpriced and to be honest, not that well laid out as it can be confusing when moving around in the museum. Some of the information in English was very small print and poorly lit, so it was very difficult to read.The maps were at floor level, so trying to follow the day by day battle meant practicality kneeling on the floor. An interactive overview map showing the area would have been great using modern technology. Personal stories from soldiers on both sides would have been fantastic and brought the battle to life.

Pretty incredible.The detail, audio tour, visual experiences, war materials, and information is impeccable. The way it follows the stories of different people really helps to show different perspectives. The length is great. The videos are very well done. Everything about this museum exceeded our expectations

One of the best museums for WWII, I have ever visited. Congratulations. The view from the site is also amazing. Keeps the interest even for the kids.

We've been to various museums, but this one in Bastogne beats them all. Museum from the top, interactive, makes you feel the atmosphere of those days! I recommend it to everyone, even those who are not interested in history too much. A great piece of history! I recommend!

A very unique take on the museum experience, it's more like a story to walk though with multiple short movies to watch between the larger halls and spoken explanation by the characters from the story telling there views and experiences about the battle.

Really great museum, quite a lot of information, some really nice “movie” experiences built in.The only bad thing was that my audio guide didn’t pick up everything, so apparently what my partner heard and what I heard were sometimes different.The ticket is quite expensive (27€) but it is valid for a week and includes 3 sites, so in the end it’s wort it. I managed to visit the main war museum and Bois Jacques in one day.

I spent about 2 hours here. It was a very enlightening and many storys that where personal and there telling extended long into the tour.One thing I particularly enjoyed, was that I could go in my own pace and even go back to a exhibitions, if I felt like it.I would recommend anyone to go that is into history.

Excellent collection and display of war artifacts from the Battle of the Bulge. It was very moving. They did a great job of varying the media. You could spend hours reading about and viewing the historical pieces. We must learn from history, or we are doomed to repeat it.

Toller Historischer Ort sehr Interaktiv gestaltet. Sehr weitläufig!Mit dem Rollator sehr gut nutzbar.Spannend und traurig zu gleich.(Translated by Google)Great historical place very interactively designed. Very spacious!Very easy to use with the rollator.Exciting and sad at the same time.

We visited this place on Sunday. The museum is very interesting and engaging. Do not miss out three separate immersive mini-cinema like shows that reflected different periods of the war. And after the main visit, “Generations 45” was a very nice addition to connect the war to our modern day periods. Museum is able to capture both the facts and details of the war in massive scale and how this war affected the lives of simple, ordinary people.

Another fantastic war museum in Belgium, large parking lot right in front of the entrance (but it is paid, why?), quite expensive entrance fee, but it's for 3 places in total, so ok... and it also includes free parking in the city, the museum is not very big, nor does it have so many exhibits, but ths interesting are movies, the monument can only be seen from the outside, in the nearby forest you can see the exact place of battles and in the city the headquarters, of course there is a souvenir shop and quite big cafe

A must-see for the American history buff. The museum is larger than it seems. You can rush through it in a couple hours, but could easily spend 3-4. There is an elevator to make things accessible.

If you like Band of Brothers, then this is a must. So much history and so many things that make you just realize the resiliency of the allies and of the American soldiers. The spaghetti carbonera at the restaurant was excellent. The rest of the food we ate was meh. But that spaghetti carbonera...

It often happens when i leave such a war museum and that i am left speechless, thinking about all the people that suffered and honouring those who liberated us.It goes without saying that these event cannot become lost in history and forgotten.This is a must see to visit if you are interesting in WWII and Battle of the BulgeVery informative sections and very very detailed.It zooms in 4 individuals that reflects a broader societal aspects during the war

Great exponats from WW2. Well-preserved and well presented items. Great battle took place in Bastogne, and it is reflected all around the museum.Guide in a few languages.

Well done museum. Lots of photos to read about but the audio tour explains the war from the perspective of 4 people: child, school teacher, US soldier and a German soldier. Brings it to life. Also visited the Fox hole area, download the app noted on a sign in the parking lot before walking into the trees. Free WiFi in the lot. Worth being where the fighting took place.

I wanted to visit this place for a long time, as I am passionate about battle history. The museum is really big with great details about what was before the occupation, during the occupation and the battle of Bastogne. The audio guide is a nice touch.

We just completed our own Band of Brothers trip and this was our favorite large museum. We also made it out to the Bois Jacques Battlefield. We ran out of time to see the war rooms in town. I’d suggest 2 days to see all 3 sites. The museum is very comprehensive from WWI to the Cold War and also specializes in Battle of the Bulge/Ardennes. If you only go to one WWII museum, this is it.

Fabulous modern museum with plenty of interactive exhibits, everything was working and functional. Joint tickets available for Bois Jacques and Bastogne War rooms, I recommend the full package. We were in the main museum for five hours!

Super Museum. Durch den Audioguide wird einen sehr viel vermitteln. Hier wird Geschichte aus verschiedenen Sichtweisen aufgearbeitet. Man sollte sich viel Zeit nehmen da es soviel zu entdecken gibt. Die Preise im Cafe sind in Ordnung. Mit dem Ticket kann man noch die Bastogne War Rooms und Bois Jacques Battlefield besuchen.Für jüngere Kinder ist es eher nicht geeignet.(Translated by Google)Great museum. The audio guide will convey a lot. Here history is examined from different perspectives. You should take your time as there is so much to discover. The prices in the cafe are okay. With the ticket you can still visit the Bastogne War Rooms and Bois Jacques Battlefield.It is not suitable for younger children.

The Bastogne War Museum is an extraordinary testament to the valor, sacrifice, and resilience of the soldiers and civilians who endured the hardships of World War II. Visiting this museum was an emotionally moving and educational experience.The museum's design and layout are impeccable, guiding visitors through the chronology of events leading up to the historic Battle of the Bulge. The interactive exhibits, life-sized dioramas, and audio-visual presentations offered a truly immersive experience, making the past come alive. From the onset, I felt a deep sense of respect and admiration for the brave souls who faced unimaginable challenges during the war.The vast collection of artifacts, personal belongings, and authentic military equipment further enriched the experience. Each item told a unique story, giving a glimpse into the lives of those who fought and the civilians affected by the conflict. I was particularly moved by the personal accounts and letters displayed, which revealed the human side of war.The highlight of my visit was the recreated underground bunker, where I could almost feel the tension and fear that soldiers experienced during the battle. It was a humbling experience, reminding me of the importance of remembering history and its lessons for the future.The museum staff deserves special praise for their knowledge and dedication. They were friendly, approachable, and eager to answer questions, making the tour even more engaging.The Bastogne War Museum not only commemorates the sacrifices made during the war but also emphasizes the importance of peace and understanding. As I walked through the grounds, I couldn't help but reflect on the futility of war and the need for global unity.Whether you are a history enthusiast, a student, or just curious about the past, the Bastogne War Museum is a must-visit destination. It leaves an indelible mark on your heart and mind, and you'll walk away with a renewed appreciation for the peace we enjoy today.If you find yourself in this part of the world, don't miss the opportunity to pay homage to the heroes of the past and gain a deeper understanding of the events that shaped our world. I will forever cherish the memories and lessons I took away from this extraordinary museum.

Emma is very friendly. My audio didn't work and she back and forwards 3x for me. And she explain teh details about the coding machine and gave us suggestions not to miss the AR experience at outside. Need to drive 10 minutes to the real location partial of the defense line.It was very interesting museum and we love the short movie and exhibits.

Alte Kaserne mit teilweise restaurierten Hallen und viel gut instandgesetztem Kriegsmateral um die Geschichte für kommende Generationen darzustellen.Der Kollege an der Kasse war n bischen gelangweilt und nimmt nur ne Scheckarte , aber was solls , die ausgestellte Technik wollten wir gerne sehen und nicht den Kassenwart heiraten(Translated by Google)Old barracks with partially restored halls and lots of well-maintained war material to present history for future generations.The colleague at the cash register was a bit bored and only took a check card, but whatever, we wanted to see the technology on display and not marry the cashier

Very cool monument, but unfortunately it was closed due to renovations when we went, a shame cause we would have really like to walk in and around it closer.

The memorial is currently undergoing maintenance so we weren't able to walk in and read the names of engravings inside. It looks to be a wonderful monument

Fantastic 360 views of the battle areas. Informative maps on each section of the star details approach and movement of German and US forces. Memorial to the list brave US military. Separated by states with a crypt in the rear lower quarter. Chimes at hourly times. The must see popular sight when in the area.

Two years ago they were busy with the restoration, and now it's complete (although we couldn't discover where they restored it). Overall it is worth a visit when you are visiting the museum or if you are visiting Bastogne.It is a large monument to commemorate the Second World War.

Really wanted to visit the memorial, but it appears it has been cordoned off so you have to use the car park at the museum that you have to pay on arrival.Very short memories when you try to profit from people visiting a memorial, what next cemeteries.

Impressive monument, but at the time it is closed and cordoned off, the crypt is open thou, sign mentions renovation should have been completed last year and I see reviews here mentions it has been open since

Unfortunately closed but nice to walk around.

The monument has actually been closed for renovations since 2020 and when were there last week (June 2024) the sign outside was outdated and there's no sign of any work being done on it. Since it's now under the responsibility of the US what are they doing?? I can't find anything on their website giving updates. There's no way this will be open for the 80th in December. Extremely disappointing as we went there to see where my FIL fought as a member of the 101st, 501 PIR.

Wow. Super cool memorial. All US states are inscribed in English too... because the Allied Powers won the WW2. Yay!

Images from the Mardasson Memorial. Honoring the memory of American soldiers who were wounded or killed in the Battle of the Bulge. We should never forget.The museum was closed, but this monument brought tears to my sarcastic, cynical eyes. A great way to end our trip.

Amazing place. But we didn't enjoyed it much because of rekonstrukcion.

Beautiful and respectful place to visit. I visit it twice now, and i can not even imagine what the allies did us. One of the best place for a tribute.

Impressive monument, with a breathtaking message. It also offers a full overview of Bastogne from the upper level, accessible by stairs.

Petting the castle’s chickens absolutely made my day. The chickens are so calm and friendly. The castle is interesting and we were all done within 2 hours. The cafe has a selection of pastries, drinks, and soup. We had soup, ice cream and eclair. There is a free toilet at the entrance and a bigger free restroom upstairs in the castle. There was plenty of parking when we arrived at 10am on a Saturday. It filled up when we left around 12:30pm. It costs 1€/hour and you walk strenuously uphill about 5 minutes to get to the castle. Card is accepted at the kiosk farther back in the parking lot. Press the white button on the kiosk for how many hours you want (press multiple times for more hours), then press the green button, and then hold your card up to pay. It was tricky to use.

This castle is one of our favorites! The town is lovely and the castle is well restored. You can see some of the older foundations and several of the rooms are staged as they would have been when the castle was in use. The tour flies will and there are so many great views. A must-see in Luxembourg!

This castle is beautiful. You will see a lot of history there. When you buy tickets don’t forget to pay 2€ for audio guide. They give a map of the castle with point of interest and you just follow the map. It took two hours for us to make the whole journey. I highly recommend to visit the castle for everyone.

Definitely worth the cost and a very nice display of architecture and artifacts. Bathrooms were very clean. The walk to and from the castle involves a steep climb. Several people we met in the town of Vianden could not make it up, but many people were just fine.

10 Euro to enter, a good few hours looking around this lovely restored castle. Bargain entry fee for the time and interesting things to see and read. Not really much for kids

The castle is worth a visit, it is utterly beautiful inside and outside. It has a rich history, the museum is very interesting, but it is what you expect from a castle, hence nothing really special. Also the views from the castle courtyard is also worth it. Beautiful area to behold. I would not get a ticket in advance. The prices at the entrance are better than from most online retailers.

Absolutely amazing! The audio guide is really well done. Unluckily there were somme signs that were written exclusively on German. Despite this, the castle deserves the 5 stars. Pretty well conserved and nicely put together so everyone can understand the history.

A well preserved castle. Good views and well maintained.What i did not like, the audio guide was not loud enough in hallways, - app would have been a wiser choiceIf you have a stroller, be sure you get well trained in you gym before the visit.Many interesting parts were barricaded, and no one could access.The view from far away - outside was stunning.

Beautiful Castle at the top of Vianden. €10,- per person entrance fee. The outside of the castle is more beautiful than the inside. A lot of text signs and not really interactive. We heard a lot of people saying it was all old stuff and not really interesting.

So super impressed by this place. The castle itself has been lovingly restored, the market stalls and the entertainment were an unexpected surprise. The most impressive was the info centre beside the castle, this was awesome and presented the history concisely and engaging. Highly recommend if in the area, or make a trip from the city

Very nice presentation of the castle's history in the visitor centre. The castle is worth a visit. Fully furnished with original pieces, beautiful views. Just prepare for walking a lot to the hill.

This is a must see in every trip to Luxembourg. The castle is in great condition and it has great infrastructure. Unlike Larochette, you must pay for parking (it was 2 euros for 3 hours) and visit to the castle (10 euros per adult). It was worth it! The visit took around an hour and we had a snack in the castle’s restaurant. The prices there was fair and the food was delicious. Every room of the castle is worth visiting. Even the tavern can be visited. Great visit through and through.

An amazing castle to visit in Luxembourg. We visited in February, so overcast and a little rainy but that did not stop the enjoyment. Highly recommended if you are in the area!!

Beautiful place, wel maintained, reasonably priced ticket.Takes 3 hours max. to explore the entire castle. I suggest visitors to go to the rope way in vicinity of Vianden Castle which will take you to the top of a Mountain next to the castle to get another fabulous vantage point.

The castle is the main reason for our visit to Luxembourg. We were impressed by the pictures and said that we must definitely come. It is quite an impressive goal, it is very easy to reach and without paying anything for transport, because in Luxembourg public transport is free throughout the country! I recommend a visit here if you want to see something beautiful! I paid 10 euros for the ticket

It is easy to park your car close to the castle. You will need to walk a short distance uphill towards the entrance. The castle itself is beautifully restored, though it is a pity that the visitor centre was given a modern look. It is recommended to take an audio tour as there is a lot of history to discover. You can easily roam around without it, but you will miss out.

Nice castle located in a small beautiful village. Entry cost is 10 euros per person. You can spend around 2 3 hours here exploring the castle. Parking spaces are available in the road side. Good place to have a nice evening.

Such a great audio guide and clearly marked tour. Everything was set up so well, and it was visually stunning. The visitors center was like an additional museum, with so much more information about the castle and its place in the world. It didn't feel huge, but we spent three hours here. The cafeteria is nice, too. Definitely worth the trip.

Well worth a visit. Beautiful location and views. Brilliant audio guide tour. Cafe and gift shop open to those interested. Can walk up to chairlifts and get lift up or down to main town. Highly recommend

Visiting the castle in Vianden was an unforgettable experience for me. The castle is one of the most beautiful and largest monuments of Romanesque-Gothic architecture in Europe. It was built on the site of a former Roman watchtower, and for centuries was the seat of the Dukes of Vianden and the Nassau family. The castle has many interesting halls and rooms that can be explored on your own or with an audio guide. I admired, among others a Byzantine gallery, a banquet hall with tapestries, a bedroom and a banquet room with a fireplace. On the information boards you can learn many interesting facts about the history of the castle and its inhabitants. The castle was restored in the 1970s and is now open to the public.Visiting the castle was not only a history lesson, but also an opportunity to admire the beautiful views of the town of Vianden and the Our River valley. From the castle terrace you can see picturesque landscapes, charming houses and the church of St. Trinity. You can also use the cable car that connects the castle with the city centre. It's a great way to see the area from a different perspective.Vianden Castle is a place I recommend to anyone who likes history, architecture and beautiful nature. It's the perfect place to spend a few hours or the whole day. I am very pleased with my visit and will definitely return.

We spent about 3 hours exploring the castle/palace, taking photos, soaking up the history, reading all interpretive signs and watching the fabulous movie.We thought it was very considerate of the planners to put toilets on opposite ends of the tour! This tourist attraction was our destination today and we were so glad we added it to our itinerary.

How amazing it is to be able to relive the history of this palace.The castle is about 1 hour by car from Luxembourg city.The tickets are 10 euros for adults and 2 euros for an audio guide. Since the guide ( handheld , not an earphone / headphone ) can be heard , 2-3 people can share 1.There was no wait. The audio was very detailed and it was lovely to share the fragments of historical essence as we walked past each room. The large kitchen was my favorite as well as the banquet hall.I was completely mesmerized by the sheer grandeur of the bedroom, banquet hall and the history behind the Vianden Castle.We are so glad that we decided to make this decision to go and visit this. Absolutely a must visit 🙂

Beautiful castle on hill top. The bus stops on the bottom of the hill so there is a 10-15 min walk up with some nice cafes along the way. The visit is €10 and you must get an audio guide to enjoy the visit, which lasts around 1 hour. Bring headphones so you can listen to the audioguide on your phone.

A great way to spend a few hours.Spectacular viewing points, and some great history inside.We paid €10 each, which I think was good value considering how many rooms and viewing points there are.

This castle is located in a small town. Not many people in the castle and the town.It was a good experience for us.We travelled from Luxembourg by public transport and took us almost 3.5 hours to reach the castle.I suggest going by car and saving your travel time.We found vegetarian food as well.Travelling to the castle was worth the experience.Tickets we directly purchased from the castle.The last thing public transport is free. We didn't pay anything from Luxembourg to Vianden town.

When visiting Luxembourg this castle is a treat to the eyes.It is located on a hill top so it’s really beautiful in summers.You have to travel 2 hours from main station by train to reach this castle.Chairlift car can be taken from the town below and you can enjoy the valley view from this chairlift.

The sole reason to visit Vianden. Incredible to visit, only €11 and well worth it. The shop has fantastic posters, so much, I bought one and have it on my wall now. Visit the whole castle in all the rooms, views are brilliant. Wasn't too busy visiting in April 2024.

This is a beautiful castle steeped in history. It's a peaceful place offering gorgeous views of the local countryside.There is a cafe, toilets and parking onsite.Lots of steps inside, so not ideal for the less mobile, wheelchair or pushchair users.

One of the worlds best and beautiful castle. Along side very cute village.Try to take your car up at the caste. There is parking available

One of the most beautiful castle in Europe. Though it is restored and renovated, it still has medieval athmosphere. It has a spectacular city views from the castle. There you can watch a full documentary of the history of the castle. There is a nice restaurant which is very reasonably priced, food is also delicious. A visit gives you a good idea on how it was to live in the middle ages.There is also a car parking.The entrance fee is €10 and you will get an audio guide to enjoy the visit, which lasts around 1 hour.

Nicely restored castle with a good quality audio guide available in a number of languages. The castle and the nearby chairlift are included with the Luxembourg card which is worth purchasing of you are visiting a number of sites on the same day.

Vianden Castle is a medieval fortress located in Vianden, Luxembourg. The Castle is located at an elevated hill visible to the road. It stands majestically overlooking the picturesque town of Vianden and the Our River. Te castle offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The location is very easy to find, and so is parking and entrance. Inside you may buy tickets, and also seek assistant of a tour guide or audio tour subject to relevant charges. Inside of it are the models, plans and diagram of the Castle in different ages.The castle has a rich history dating back over a thousand years and showcases a blend of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. It's one of the largest and most well-preserved castles in Luxembourg, attracting visitors from around the world to explore its impressive battlements, towers, and inner courtyards.

Castles are never outright boring, but "moderately interesting" is the best I can do here. If you have already seen a few castles in your life, this one won't look breathtaking either from the outside or inside.Seems like a lot of foreign celebrities were invited to this place, not sure why.I do appreciate that the drinks at the inner cafe are reasonably priced.

Definitely worth seeing one of the best castles in all of Europe. Has a self guided tour throughout the entire castle with vendors in a lot of the areas. Has live-action medieval fights that are great for kids! The brewery under the castle was amazing! Cheap beer and great food. Also got to hold a hawk for €5. The views from all the windows look amazing.

Amazing hidden gem in Luxembourg.If you are interested in history this is must visit place.The castle is located approx 1 hour from the Luxembourg city. But worth the drive. You will encounter amazing scenes on the way. They have a parking available, but it is limited. You can get an audio guide for yourself in the language you prefer .castle is not very big in itself. But still it will take one hour for you to visit completely. They have a cafeteria in the beginning in case you are hungry. The staff is very helpful if you need anything. there are explanations everywhere so if you want, you don’t need to buy an audio guide

We walked from vianden bus stop to the castle which is around 30 minutes slight hike on the medieval road. On the day we went there were special shows. Demonstrating casts were super nice with the ancient attires and equipments. Also, there was a restaurant inside the castle where you can dine in medieval style.

Marvelous castle with greatly maintained interior and exterior. The round tour gives you a good idea of the different construction stages and the life back in the day. The views are amazing. I would recommend walking on the ring wall before getting there early before the crowds arrive.

Wow, what a blast from the past! Our last visit here was way back in 2014, and it's crazy how my oldest son still remembers every detail from when he was just 3,5 years old. This castle is like the VIP spot for tourists in Luxembourg, and it's easy to see why.The ticket prices won't break the bank either: €10 for adults, €2.5 for kids, and €5 for students with a valid student card.They've got these handy information devices at the counter, and you can choose your language preference, so you won't miss a beat. We opted for the Scan Me app, scanning barcodes at each site for all the juicy details. Saved me from trying to recall everything back at the hotel. You know how it is with kids at museums, patience is definitely not their strong suit 😂.Walking through history here is a real treat, especially witnessing the castle's evolution over the centuries, from the 11th to the 14th. No wonder it's earned its spot as one of CNN's 21 most beautiful castles in the world.But let's talk about the real MVP: the cafeteria. Don't leave without trying their signature soup, Bouneschlupp. It's a hearty green bean soup with potatoes and onions (they even do a mean vegetarian version).Don't miss out on the souvenir area either, because what's a trip without some cheesy memorabilia, am I right?Pro tip: Take some time to wander the charming village of Vianden surrounding the castle, those picturesque houses are Instagram-worthy 😉.

Visiting from Florida and wasn’t disappointed by the castle. The views were amazing, the size was awesome and the interior was pretty cool to see. Worth the trip from Kaiserslautern. Parking can be difficult on the weekends.

Beautifully restored castle that still has that medieval athmosphere. Spectacular views and also a nice restaurant which is still very reasonably priced for this day and age. A visit gives you a good idea on how it was to live in the middle ages.

exquisite castle about an hour drive north of luxembourg center. admission was 10€. the drive there was very windy and hilly. the architecture of the castle has a blend of Romanesque and Gothic elements, combined with stylistic features from the Renaissance.the views are spectacular and the the audio tours(2€ xtra) is recommended. there is parking near the castle itself that is very inexpensive(a couple euros for 5 hours). there is second more modern feature just off the gift shop that explains more of the history and you can also view some of the original footings.

Château très bien reconstruit en respectant l’histoire. La salle coup de cœur est la chapelle : belles couleurs et formes. C’est assez unique comme configuration. La terrasse est aussi surprenante : ça arrive pas si souvent d’en retrouver dans un château situé dans un pays avec un climat plutôt humide et froid.Une petite partie du circuit était fermé à cause de travaux (2 endroits sur le circuit) mais ça ne fait rien car il y a quoi voir.Les salles sont décorées pour représenter leur fonction d’antan. Audio disponible à l’accueil pour le prix de 2€.C’est très propre. Parcours facile à suivre. Vue imprenable!Personnel super sympa et accueillant.CERTAINS touristes par contre ne savent vraiment pas se comporter dans un lieu comme cela : des cris, ils parlent super forts, font n’importe quoi et bloquent les chemins d’accès et les couloirs.Prix correct : 10€ pour les adultes et 5€ pour les étudiants.(Translated by Google)Castle very well rebuilt respecting history. The favorite room is the chapel: beautiful colors and shapes. It’s quite a unique setup. The terrace is also surprising: it doesn't happen that often to find one in a castle located in a country with a rather humid and cold climate.A small part of the circuit was closed due to work (2 places on the circuit) but that doesn't matter because there is something to see.The rooms are decorated to represent their former function. Audio available at reception for the price of €2.It's very clean. Easy to follow route. Amazing views!Super friendly and welcoming staff.SOME tourists, on the other hand, really don't know how to behave in a place like this: they shout, they talk really loudly, they do anything and block the access paths and corridors.Fair price: €10 for adults and €5 for students.

One of the most beautiful castles that I have ever seen. Tickets cost 10€ per person and there is a small restaurant and a souvenir shop inside the castle. The castle itself has an amazing history and offers a stunning view on the country around it. There are several parking lots nearby even though they are kind of small. The parking costs around 1€ per hour.

This is the place to go if you want to learn about medieval life. The visitor center is the nicest display I have ever seen in any of the castles I ever visited. You can see the different stages of the castles starting from 275 AD to the 21st century. The 10 € are well spend. Plan for at least 2 hrs.

It's one of the most beautiful castles i have ever visited. I recommend you pay 2 eur extra for the audio guide. it's worth it. There is also a nice souvenir shop/cafe inside.

Un magnifique château très bien conservé. Les prix sont relativement raisonnables avec un tarif étudiant intéressant. Pour ceux qui aiment l’histoire et le patrimoine c’est l’endroit idéal ! Tout est bien organisé, correctement mis en scène et le circuit est bien fait.Nous avons fait la visite à notre rythme, en profitant de la beauté du lieu sans s’attarder sur toutes les informations à lire, et cela nous a pris une petite heure.En tout cas je vous recommande vivement ce château !(Translated by Google)A magnificent, very well preserved castle. Prices are relatively reasonable with an attractive student rate. For those who love history and heritage this is the ideal place! Everything is well organized, correctly staged and the circuit is well done.We did the visit at our own pace, enjoying the beauty of the place without dwelling on all the information to read, and it took us about an hour.In any case, I highly recommend this castle!

After two previous short visits to Vianden I finally got to see the castle from the inside. Some rooms are very impressive. If you’re into a bit of history, or nice views, it’s worth your while. Tickets for 10 euro (adults) and 2,50 (kids). Coffee and snacks are decently priced. There’s also Vianden/ castle souvenirs.

Beautiful castle and restored castle full of historical items. The castle itself has an amazing history and offers a stunning view on the country around it. There are several parking lots nearby even though they are kind of small.

Very interesting. The tour guide was knowledgeable and his english quite good. The site was a little creepy. The picture is of the tunnel where all the men in the garrison perished from carbon monoxide poisoning, 105 men.

Spectacular visit yesterday. Our guide, Felipe had a magnific work with the form that he explain the situation lived by the french army soldiers. Congratulations for all voluntaries!!! Great work!!!hihgly recommended

Very nice place to walk around, sadly the guides are only in french.

What an amazing place! Highly recommend this to anyone interested in World War 2. . As one of the western-most placements of the Maginot Line in France, the story of how all the men perished here is as heartbreaking as any other war story. There is a very long, strenuous stair case to go down (and then UP), but take your time, it is all part of the story of this place. We had not booked ahead, but a young staff member gave us a two hour tour and since we were a small family group of English speakers, he used English and was superb! One of the only places where you can touch and feel remnants of the War. If travelling through this part of France, make a detour to this site, it is worth every bit of time.

Interesting place to see if you are passionate about the war. As you can see in the pictures, the holes from the bullets and artillery are still there and it makes you understand the horrors and atmosphere of the battle.

Very interesting and educational an important part of history. Well worth visiting.

An amazing part of the Maginot line where the defenders held till their last. We stumbled upon driving from bouillon to stennay and what a find it was. The cemetery which contains the defenders is across the road from the memorial adjoined to the Fort.

The guided tour experience is perfect, and the guide can speak English and tell a lot of details that can’t be found somewhere else. Highly recommended!

Great place to learn about the European history.

Big war site to visit, located in amazing place with great views.

This is an amazing place to visit. Anyone remotely interested in military history would really enjoy a visit here. Apart from a very well preserved Maginot line fort, there’s also a story attached. Regrettably, there was not a good outcome for the soldiers who served here. You will have to visit to find out the full story.The cost is a very reasonable €8 per adult and the tour is guided. They do tours in English but only for groups. We went with a French – speaking guide and were given some information sheets in English to take on the tour. These were sufficient to get a good appreciation of the fort.The engineering and ingenuity in designing and building these forts is incredible considering the most are around 100 years old.If you visit and like this fort, be sure to visit the bigger ones a little further south. In particular, Hackenberg and Schoenenbourg.

Able to stop over in your moho but no services apart from toilets in reception when open . Fantastic few hours tour and the local guides are brilliant , all for €7 . Very highly recommended with the first tour starting at 10am .

Magnificent please with a nice guide.The story which unfolded there is very sad 😢

Guide only in french, but the nice guy also explained some in person in english. Big thanks. Very tragic history.

A sad place as with all war cemeteries. Such a lot all died on the same day, overcome by fumes in tunnels they had spent 3 years building. Need to book the tours they do to the underground passages to enjoy the place. They only do them for pre booked groups.

It is a neat place to explore. If you have children, they will really enjoy the tunnels and it is pretty safe as well. The entrance says 45 minute time limit, but not sure how it is enforced. However, that much time is enough to see it all though.You don’t really need to buy tickets in advance if you go midweek.

We visited on a cold, cloudy, rainy Sunday in June.There's not that much to see. A couple of cannons and views that you can see without paying €8 per person.We paid by card at the entrance (no queue) as they do not accept cash. We were given an information leaflet in English. Make sure you take this as none of the information in the tunnels is in English.The tunnels are somewhat dark, even though there is some natural light and in places electric lighting.It should be common sense to wear appropriate footwear as you will be walking in tunnels that are a few hundred years old.There is a steep narrow spiral staircase that goes down. There is nothing to see at the bottom. However, the only way up is by another steep narrow spiral staircase. I would say you need a basic level of fitness to undertake this walk.It is not that difficult to navigate the tunnels. However, a marked out route to follow would make it a better experience.

The Mother Nature give them advantages to have such a rocky place and situated exactly in the Center of the city. If you are a tourist and do not have a guide and plus you don’t speak French then it will be difficult to room around and find the spots you are looking for.The city doesn’t offer free internet or there are some spots but very low signal so you have to have your own internet. There are less signs showing ways how to access the Touristik spots , so make sure to really pre plan all the steps of your trip on your own

Cool historic place to discover and stroll through on your own. Great views over Grund. Price seems very fair (8€). A few more signs and informative texts would have helped.

Fun stop with lots of history! Sold out online for days, but tickets were available for an entrance in an hour. Busy, but they do a good job of keeping the casements not overly busy. Don't miss the side route near the exit that goes under the road. Spiral stairs carved into the rock to the left of the steps up to the exit. It is a lot of steps...you've been warned! Down and then back up.

Very lovely and impressive views of the valley from the walls at the top and from the lookout points throughout. There is fascinating and multi layered history in the landmark, having served as a fortress for hundreds of years

La vue depuis ces casemates y est incroyable.La visite est assez courte (environ 45 minutes pour faire le tour).Attention certains couloirs sont très faiblement éclairés, veillez à mettre de bonnes chaussures non glissantes surtout si vous décidez d’emprunter le petit escalier en colimaçon pour accéder aux étages inférieurs.(Translated by Google)The view from these casemates is incredible.The visit is quite short (around 45 minutes to go around).Be careful, some corridors are very dimly lit, be sure to wear good, non-slippery shoes, especially if you decide to take the small spiral staircase to access the lower floors.

Good visit although lack of general information available in English. It would better to also have a route through.Dogs are not allowed (except service dogs) these days, despite what it says online elsewhere.

This is a World Heritage Site.Luxembourg's old quarters and fortifications. The city itself was founded in 963 and has played a significant role in European history throughout the centuries.We came during winter so weren't able to visit the tunnels but we were able to walk around the top parts and get some amazing views of the city.This is a must if you are in Luxembourg.

The view is indeed beautiful and also a good place to get your excellent photos as well. The paid city tour bus starts from this point. Also this will be always quite crowded as it is a famous place to get that balcony view.

Great to see such a cool piece of history and imagine the soldiers and others scurrying through the tunnels when there was activity to defend.

Loved it, such a great view from there in all directions. Interesting to see what people did back then building the cellar of the castle in the mountain stone.

What an incredible site to see. The views from every spot were great. The history was awesome. It was a complete step back in time and I can't wait to go back again.

Très intéressant à voir, c'est une petite "balade" dans les galeries des rochers il y a 3 canons. C'est impressionnant de se dire que tout à était creuse à la main.C'est un périple assez drôle surtout les escaliers en colimaçon. Les vues sont vraiment magnifiques. On y voit les anciennes prisons. Les lumières sont vraiment sympa. Tout ceci donne un côté "labyrinthe" je conseil de faire.(Translated by Google)Very interesting to see, it's a little "walk" in the galleries of the rocks there are 3 cannons. It's impressive to think that everything was hollow by hand.It's quite a funny journey, especially the spiral staircases. The views are truly magnificent. We can see the old prisons there. The lights are really nice. All this gives a “labyrinth” aspect, which I recommend doing.

This is the kind of tourist attraction you can't miss, despite what appeal it may hold for you either way. "Did you go to the Bock Casements?" is a likely question from any fellow visitors of Luxembourg City you speak to.Luckily, it was perfectly worth the €10 it cost to book a ticket for 45 minutes inside. We had nice weather but I can imagine that almost certainly the visit would not be so pleasant if the weather restricted the views to the outside.There are quite a few tunnels to explore on a few levels with some very small and narrow spiral stairs, though they can be omitted if needed without affecting the experience.Interesting and historic place, definitely worth visiting.

Enjoyed the visit - the spiral staircase does take some care going down and back up. Fabulous views, and interesting history. You cannot really read the leaflet very well as it’s very low light, I wish they had more multiple language descriptions that included English. But overall a fascinating piece of history and worth the tour

Super lieu à visiter au Luxembourg pour en apprendre un peu plus sur l'histoire de la ville. Personnel très accueillant. Quelques passages étroits, des escaliers de partout, mais une expérience à recommander.(Translated by Google)Great place to visit in Luxembourg to learn a little more about the history of the city. Very welcoming staff. Some narrow passages, stairs everywhere, but an experience to recommend.

Very beautiful and unusual. Be sure to visit the casemates, but do not go down the spiral stone staircase if you have poor physical fitness 😁. When you joyfully reach its end deep below, you will understand that the way out goes along the same steep endless steps, only up 😄. It was a great adventure

We really enjoyed it.Nice views. If you are in Luxembourg, you need to visit this place. I bought tickets online at a specific time.

Great historical place. It's a must visit in Luxembourg. It is a huge underground complex built in 1644 and was used as a bomb shelter during WWII. It's huge and amazing. Lots of beautiful viewpoints. You need a minimum of an hour to explore the place. There is one section that is not mentioned in the booklet, it can be accessed through the stairs from the iron gate room. This section was really impressive and showed the depth of it. Going through each section and understanding the history behind it was fascinating. I recommend buying tickets in advance. Tickets can be bought at the ticket counter as well but they either sell out soon or you have to wait for your time slot. Another thing is it's a bit difficult to locate the entrance/ticket counter. Do carry a water bottle.

It was fine, despite the fact it being a veery little part of all tunnels. You can walk everything in 45min. There's two exits - where the enter is, and if you go under in the end, one more exit :)

For the tourists: apparently not everybody of the staff speaks English here! I thought Luxemburg was an international city but French is the language here.You get a booklet with text in the Casemates, but that's it. You have to figure out for yourself the trail inside and read in the booklet what there is to see from point to point. I think audio guide will do this place some good.Inside there are two canons. But overall the rooms where empty. I only give this 3 stars because of the building itself. Not because of the €8 (!) you spend for a visit of 30 minutes.It was also not clear at the beginning where the trail will end (it's some place else than where you start the trail, so keep that in mind if you need the restroom).The views from the casemates is better on top than in the casemates.

I want to say that I live for 3 years in Luxembourg and only by mistake I discovered that we can visit the galleries.❤️🥰👏 The entrance is actually hidden underneath the little tower from Montee du Clausen (Casemates Memorial Point).The experience was quite unique. The galeries are layered (I think) on two levels. The views over the city are special and magnificent (although in my case it was raining 🌧), because the viewpoints are unique🏞🏤. I loved also the light 💡efects inside the casemates. They give a special (modern and old) touch to the visit. You can also see these light efects 🪩 from Grund during the night 🌌.The only thing that confused me a little bit was the fact that there were no signs ↗️(or a map) 🗺 to show the direction ➡️ of the visit, so I got a little bit lost 😆😁. There were galleries that i've seen twice. I estimate that, the duration of the visit 🕑 can vary between 30-45 minutes.For me, the casemates are special and unique. I would love to see them again without any hesitation. ❤️🥰🤩

Very beautiful but quite slippery. There were a very long line but we didn’t queue at all as we bought tickets in advance, so I highly recommend to do so

It was very interesting, we spent maybe 1 hr visiting it. Highly recommended.

A great place to explore and lovely views. Would have liked some more information on certain parts but the leaflet was adequate. Nice to freely walk around at your leisure.

DoV: Sunday afternoon, early June 2024.It is a wondrous place. Read the history before going in or take the city bus/train where they tell you a little bit about it.

If you love to learn history and don’t like sunlight that much, this is the place for you.Pros: Great Views, and the permanent exhibition at the end of the walk is well-designed and quite enjoyable.Cons: frankly speaking, the walk itself is long and …not as interesting as I thought.

The place can be reached easily from Luxembourg station, it will drop you to the exact location, where you can easily roam around by foot & explore, click pictures etc. It has an ancient setup with information which you can read and understand. I believe you will need approx 2 to 3 hours to cover upstairs, downstairs and around if you want to cover completely and not rush but relax. When we went there the weather was a bit foggy and cold plus we had to catch our bus for Saarland within 2 hours so we rushed and did not cover full location. But I still enjoyed. Since it was November month, there were Christmas market also which all families were enjoying. Overall beautiful place with no public transport cost so worth visiting.

Some neat old tunnels in a sort of defensive fortress wall, but nothing really super interesting or spectacular.

For a country’s main cathedral it's a little underwhelming. There are provincial churches and chapels elsewhere in Europe that are larger and more impressive.That being said, Luxembourg is a small country so it's kinda understandable.I'd still recommend a visit if you're in the vicinity, but I would travel far out of my way to see it.

Beautiful Cathedral!!! It was nice to have the history printed out in so many languages.. so no matter what many can read, learn, understand and acknowledge the history of such a beautiful place .

This Gothic Style Cathedral is beautiful and one of the must visit destination in Luxembourg. It is known as one of the beautiful Buildings. It is free to enter and visit. It looks really nice and quiet in the inside . You can sense peace inside. The cathedral is best seen in the early morning hours, when the sun shines through the stained glass windows!

The cathedral is just absolutely breathtaking and truest stunning. We took a walk around the grass and there was a lady playing the violin which was just beautiful. There are some statues and round the back are toilets which is 2 euros. Highly recommend to go and see.

What an absolutely gorgeous cathedral! It was calm and peaceful inside, the stained windows are beautiful. There is also a small staircase that leads to the crypt, wwhich is also worth visiting.

A nice, if largely unspectacular cathedral. If you have visited many other famous cathedrals then Cathédrale Notre-Dame may well underwhelm but that is not to say it is without charm.The architecture and engineering are impressive, as are all such buildings, with their sweeping naves, intricate stain glass windows and crypts. Make sure to hang aorund on the hour to hear the musical chimes.Pick a more off-peak time to enjoy it with less people and be aware that tour groups are allowed inside, so perhaps factor that in if you prefer peaceful contemplation.Entry is free and services and closure times are on the door.

A must visit because is one of the most beautiful buildings in Luxemburg. Gothic style cathedral , it is free to enter and visit … it looks really nice and quiet in the inside . You can feel a sense peace inside. The cathedral is best seen in the early morning hours, when the sun shines through the stained glass windows 🤍

A free place to visit, a nice quite church with no queues and a nice gothic interior, very similar to the ones you can find around paris. I liked the art inside and the organ. It is a bit dark inside though.

Located opposite to the bus stop and it’s in the central so all tourist locations are nearby. Not to miss; every hour there is a bell with music that goes on for a few seconds, pleasant to hear.

Beautiful church in the middle of Luxembourg city.Many stories can be red.The inside of the church is so color-full and magnificent to see.

The only cathedral in Luxembourg is a significant Roman Catholic landmark. Originally a Jesuit church founded in 1613 and consecrated in 1621, it is a blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The richly decorated interior houses the Consolatrix Afflictorum statue and a crypt with Grand Ducal Family members' remains. It serves as an important cultural, religious, and tourist site.

I cannot remember this church ever closing.Well, maybe when someone important gets married, baptized, or dies. I make it a point to stop by to light a candle for loved ones when I’m in the city. It’s certainly a place to visit if you want to cool down from the heat and don’t want to sit at a cafe feeling more warm and several euros poorer. The cathedral is clean, quiet, free, and beautiful IMO even though I do not know a lot about architecture medieval, modern, or what have you.

Free to enter. Usually people enter from the main road (typically the side door or the church). Take a look around and go to the crypt, exit through the other door to the main square that leads you to many shops and restaurants.

Magnificent Gothic cathedral with stunning stained glass windows and ornate interior. Be sure to visit the crypt. Free entry.

It had a special atmosphere and a strange feeling. The roof of Has Yeland with Veitah architecture and other very beautiful works that reminded me of Shiraz in Iran.

Grand Cathedral from the 1600s. Took the video just before 10am. Definitely worth a visit when in Luxembourg!!

A very beautiful and peaceful place. The tainted glass windows are wonderful, and the overall architecture is well worth the visit. A small detail: they have chairs instead of benches. The organ looks amazing, it must be awesome to hear it play.

A peaceful and beautiful structure with many stained glass windows and large and tall inside. Take note that the location is different to where Google Maps is pointing this. It is near the City Museum up the hill. A good place to take a break whilst exploring and free entry too!

Beautiful cathedral! An interesting mix between 17th century architecture and early 20th century architecture.

Beautiful church .. very old .. built around year 963 .. near to William squre ..

A peaceful church in Luxembourg. The interior of the church is beautifully ornamented. The history of the church and Luxembourg asa nation was also exhibited here.

The cathedral is big but not decorated as much as similar ones in other cities. The altar is simple and the glazed painted windows attracts your eye. You cannot tour yourself when worship takes place and even when it doesn't, you should be extra careful not to disturb prayers. Do not forget to check the crypt.

The position on Google seems wrong as the Cathedral is right behind "Le Ministère de la digitalisation"Follow the signage on the street instead of Google and you will find it.Opening schedule seems also wrong on Google as it's open on Sunday (from 10am to 7pm if I am correct) while Google mentioned otherwise.If you aim to visit the Crypt, please note that schedules are slightly different than the cathedral.Aim for mid day and you should be fine

Beautiful and no doubt worth visiting!This cathedral is beautiful and breathtaking!The beautiful stained glass windows are so pretty!The art paintings are phenomenal and the architecture is amazing!!

To begin with, the current Google map location is *wrong*..The cathedral is really beautiful. We visited Luxembourg during New Year's and we were able to visit the mass as well. The gothic architecture and pretty indoors are just something to look at over and over. They also decorated the church for the occasion.

A historic cathedral in the middle of the city for 30-45 minutes visit. We didn’t stay for a mass. Was a bit crowded. Even though there was no line to enter, inside of the cathedral was crowded. I couldn’t find the souvenir shop as well. would have loved it.

Beautiful tribute to those that paid the ultimate sacrifice. I was humbled to see all of the graves and to see General George Patton’s final resting place was an honor. Amazing place.

Beautiful cemetery. Beautiful location, very tasteful and immaculate grounds. A must visit for everyone, especially Americans. General Patton’s grave does not disappoint…you actually get a chance to get close, and pay respects

Very well maintained cemetery, in memory of the fallen American soldiers . Cemetery is accessible via pedestrian path and there is a shuttle bus service running every hour from Luxexpo , recommended for a visit .

Not enough Stars for this! How humbling and thought provoking to walk this memorial ground! Price paid by these young men is emotionally stirring. Can’t begin to express appreciation! In these photos of my visit I found representation from each state that was at that time. A heartwarming reminder that our great Country will represent and stand! Hope we remember ultimately the Liberties and freedoms we all enjoy were once again sustained and will always be. United we stand!

As a former US Soldier, this was a must stop. The grounds are kept up beautifully. Free parking with plenty of space. It started snowing as we arrived so we made our way into the visitor center before heading to the memorial. Staff are friendly and well informed. I highly recommend this stop as a reminder of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation.

We have visited the Cemetery with our children and had the most unwelcomed feeling. Firstly we were told that the children should not run around which I completely understand and accept but then the guard followed us all the way through like we were criminals. He didn't follow other visitors (which were very few). I have to add that the children were very well behaved all the way through. I believe the children should see and be told about our history from a young age on otherwise how will they learn? Besides this, the Cemetery is a glorious place of memory, very well maintained and curated.

A beautiful tribute to the 5,000 American soldiers honored here. General George S. Patton is laid to rest here and the memorial is truly amazing. I was very impressed with how well maintained the property is and it really is a humbling experience.

Visited General Patton's grave at Luxembourg American Cemetery in November 2023. Information regarding World War II is provided; you do not need to be an expert to appreciate this stop/visit. Parking is free and close to entrance. Would highly recommend visiting if given the opportunity.

The American cemetery in Luxembourg is the final resting place of 5,070 soldiers, who lost their lives in the World War II. There is also the grave of General Patton.We visited here in mid-May this year (2024). The area is easily reachable by the local transportation (which is Free), and it takes about 30mins bythebus/shuttle from the city center (from "Gëlle Fra” memorial orPalais Grand-Ducal, or pont adolphe). Just stop at theLUX Hamm, Ronndréisch bus stop and walk15minsusing google maps. If you have a car, the Parking is Free. Yes, the Restrooms are free andthe staffare friendly.I would highly recommend this place to visit if you are in Luxembourg.

We enjoyed our trip to the Luxembourg American Cemetery. It is a beautiful site, fit for our soldiers to rest. The well maintained property is peaceful and well cared for. We stopped in the visitor center first. They had multiple language brochures in a small but quaint well done prevention highlighting some of the individuals who are laid to rest on site.We spent an hour here, if the weather had been better, we would have stayed two hours to walk around some more. The cemetery slopes down, so remember you are climbing out of where ever you end up.We took public transportation to get there. We took the tram from the train station to Luxepo and then found the shuttle to the cemetery. That was the trickiest part. They drive a smaller van and leave on the hour. There isn't a sign and it's not on the screen, you need to go look for it and they come back about 30 minutes into the, go away and come back again. That's how we found them. It was a short comfortable drive and the van picked us up when they dropped on the hour about 5 minutes after.

I was impressed by the size of the cemetery. So many have died for our freedom. In the visitors center you can search names, get a booklet and sign the guestbook. Across the visitors center is a restroom which you can use for free.At this cemetery is the grave of General Patton. His grave faces the graves of the other soldiers.Lest we forget.

A great place to visit and be thankful for our freedom. This cemetery holds over 5000 American soldiers. Most died in WWII during the battle of the bulge. It also holds General Patton. He did not die at war but rather a car accident.So many here that never made it home to the USA after the war yet they fought for the freedom we have every day. Thank you to all that serve.

here you can find the final resting place of general George Patton and also if your a band of brothers enthusiast, 5 soldiers from the easy company, 506th pir,101st abdthe grounds are well maintained and the visitor information center is very informative. unfortunately the luxembourg airport is nearby , so the silence can be disturbed by overhead planes taking off. there is plenty of parking and trails nearby. i do believe that there is free public transportation from luxembourg center that takes you to a stop nearby.

Imperial eagle ,well trimmed garden, high spiritual peace . Patton grave overlooking his soldiers. 🫡🍀🇱🇺

2022 habe ich diesen Militärfriedhof zum ersten mal besucht, damals hat er mir nicht so gut gefallen. Er war damals auch ziemlich gut besucht. Aber heute gefiel er mir ziemlich gut. Es ist halt ein typischer amerikanischer Soldatenfriedhof. Ich hatte heute auch eine Mission, ich wollte das Grab von Day G. Turner finden. Er ist der einzige Soldat auf diesem Friedhof mit dem Medal of Honor. Man kann natürlich im Register nachschauen wo dieses Grab liegt, aber dass wäre zu einfach. Nach 15 Minuten habe ich das Grab dann auch gefunden.(Translated by Google)I visited this military cemetery for the first time in 2022, but I didn't like it that much back then. It was pretty well attended back then. But today I liked him quite a bit. It's just a typical American military cemetery. I also had a mission today, I wanted to find Day G. Turner's grave. He is the only soldier in this cemetery with the Medal of Honor. You can of course look in the register where this grave is, but that would be too easy. After 15 minutes I found the grave.

This is a beautiful cemetery by the airport I'd recommend for anyone interested in world war history. You'll find Patton's grave and five paratroopers from the 'Band of Brothers' here. It was moving to be here in the winter - the same timeframe many died in the Battle of the Bulge. It's accessible by bus if you're staying in central Luxembourg, but be aware that it's about a 15-20 minute walk (see pic) from the stop to the site. Be sure to stop in the office when you enter as well as they have many details about the cemetery.

These places are simply amazing. I would recommend everyone to see at least one American Cemetery in life. For me it was the second one and I was still impressed in the same way as I was the first time.

Great place to visit and pay your respects to our fallen. This is a very moving place. The staff is top notch and is very informative.

Everytime very impressive. Sunday 17th december I was there and with clear blue sky and those white crosses so beautiful and impressive at the same time.

The Luxembourg American Cemetery is a solemn and meticulously maintained memorial to over 5,000 American soldiers who lost their lives during World War II. The peaceful grounds, marked by rows of white crosses, offer a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made. The cemetery's design and the surrounding landscapes create a serene atmosphere, perfect for quiet reflection. It's a moving tribute to the fallen heroes and a must-visit for anyone interested in history.

We visited on a cloudy, cool, and breezy day. Perhaps, that made the experience more solemn. I was moved by the sight of the memorials and fields of grace markers, Crosses and Stars of David. It's a beautiful sight.

The stunning observation tower and suspension bridge create a unique atmosphere of unity with nature. The panorama of the river and green hills is breathtaking. These structures are part of a large ecotourism project, promoting nature conservation and local economic development. Climbing the tower evokes a sense of awe and tranquility, revealing incredible views. My recommendation for a visit!

Awesome experience! Great for kids! There also is a cute gift shop and restaurant but restaurant was closed when we went. I think this would be most scenic during fall or Summer.

Fantastic walk above the trees for a panoramic view of the river bend. The last few levels are a decent climb, though not difficult. The general area is also very green and very pleasant. It's good to buy tickets online to skip the line. It's a bit tricky to find it exactly on Google maps but either of the parking lots are around 2-3 min walk from the entrance.

It was a nice walk and very beautiful view. It was fun with the activities on the way to the tower, especially my kids thought it was fun to crawl up in the pipe and look down from the height. The playground looked great from upstairs, especially because it didn’t seem very busy. But it was quite disappointing that this wasn’t included in the price. So in the end we had to go back with disappointed kids because dad was too cheap to spend an additional 25 euros on the playground entrance. Maybe it would be an idea to give visitors of the tower a discount (?), now I just felt a bit cheated when meeting a price list after leaving the tower area.

It is absolutely nice place to go for a walk among nature and spend time with family and friends. They also have hiking path and high view to see Saarschleife but you must pay for the entrance to go inside.

There's no way one can miss this spot showcasing evolution, Erosion and change in the environment across millions of years.This also reminds you of the diversity of Flora and Fauna within Germany.

Very very windy, good bird eyes view.Worth to go for it. Pay an entry fee and you be able to view as of the picture shown. When you are up on this. This is the view that you will see.

Der Baumwipfelpfad an der Saarschleife informiert, während man den Weg beschreitet, über den heimischen Wald und die Waldtiere. Das Highlight ist aber der Blick auf die Saarschleife. Der Ausblick ist wirklich einmalig.Ein Ticketkauf im Voraus halte ich nicht erforderlich, selbst am Wochenende bei strahlendem Sonnenschein gab es keine Wartezeit an den Kassen.(Translated by Google)The treetop path on the Saarschleife provides information about the local forest and forest animals as you walk along the path. But the highlight is the view of the Saar loop. The view is really unique.I don't think it's necessary to buy tickets in advance, even on the weekend when the sun was shining there was no waiting time at the ticket offices.

Walk among high and beautiful trees, enjoy the silence and the breathtaking views a long the way. Dont miss on going to the top, the view is exceptional. Super easy walk, so everyone will enjoy it.

Nice and very easy walk to the top, with things to do for small children during the walk. Great view! Note that there is no toilet, so use the one at the parking spot.Maybe a bit expensive but luckily the parking is cheap, 2 euro for 3 hours.

What a beautiful place and breathing view. This is a must visit attraction if you are in the vicinity. You can do it i 1 Houer , and it cost around 12 euro. Remember to pay for parking at the entrance

Charming place, one of the attractions near Luxembourg but in Germany. I recommend paying €12.5 to have the best views and dare to do one of the many hiking routes.

Schöner Pfad der für die ganze Familie geeignet ist , auch für Kinderwagen und sogar alles mit dem Rollstuhl erreichbar.Oben angekommen hat man bei klarem Wetter einen super Ausblick auf die Saarschleife . 12 Euro 50 für Erwachsene sind gerade noch ok , die Parkgebühr beträgt ca 1 Euro pro Stunde an allen Wochentagen. Rund um den Baumwipfelpfad sind viele schöne Wanderwege die gut ausgezeichnete sind , gibt Runden über 2,3,4 und 6stunden mit zeitweise tollem Ausblick(Translated by Google)Beautiful path that is suitable for the whole family, also for strollers and even accessible with a wheelchair. Once at the top you have a great view of the Saar loop when the weather is clear. 12 euros 50 for adults is just ok, the parking fee is about 1 euro per hour on all days of the week. There are many beautiful hiking trails around the treetop path that are well-marked, with loops lasting 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours with sometimes great views

A fun and interesting quick hike with a fantastic view point at the end. There are lots of educational prompts for children. We came on a Monday and there were pleasantly few people there.

2nd time there and really enjoy it. The structure is well maintained and really entertaining both for children or adults. It is a nice walk and i do believe wheel chair accessible all the way to the top to see the river. The parking is really affordable, but it may be tricky to find a spot on a busy day. For 2 hours it cost 1.50euro. There is even a free public toilet in decent conditions.

Tolles Ausflugsziel für die Familie. Der Baumwipfwlpfad ist sehr schön gemacht und auf der Aussichtsplattform hat man eine herrliche Aussicht! Der Spielplatz ist auch sehr schön und abwechslungsreich. Hier kann man locker ein paar Stunden verbringen.(Translated by Google)Great destination for the family. The treetop path is beautifully done and the viewing platform has a wonderful view! The playground is also very nice and varied. You can easily spend a few hours here.

The Saarschleife in Orscholz is nature's masterpiece! The majestic river gracefully curves through the lush green landscape, creating a breathtaking sight. Standing at the lookout point, I felt like I was on top of the world, taking in the stunning panoramic view. It's a must-visit spot for nature lovers and photographers alike. 🌿🌊📸

Impressive walk high up between the trees. Very educational for kids and families. Stunning view on the Saarschleife 🤩

The view is amazing!!!! The bridge is sturdy so it's safe but still look for your kids. I don't recommend going there if it's raining or you know it's a storm obviously xd. Beautiful place tho

Sehr schöner Baumwipfelpfad, nach kurzem Fußweg direkt an der Saarschleife gelegen. Mit etwas über 40 meter Höhe hat man einen traumhaften Ausblick auf die Saar, die sich unten dreht und ein Stück in die Richtung fließt aus der sie kommt.Drumherum gibt es auch ein Restaurant und wichtig: der Baumwipfelpfad ist Rollstuhlgerecht.Mann kann auch seine Höhentauglichkeit in rund 42 m testen.Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen, der Ausblick ist wirklich fantastisch und atemraubend.Auch hier stelle ich nach 1,25 h Anreise mit dem Pkw fest: das Gute liegt doch so nah. Wobei "gut" es hier nicht annähernd trifft.(Translated by Google)Very beautiful treetop path, located directly on the Saar loop after a short walk. At just over 40 meters high, you have a fantastic view of the Saar, which turns at the bottom and flows a little in the direction from which it comes.There is also a restaurant around it and important: the treetop path is wheelchair accessible.You can also test your ability to reach heights at around 42 m.We really liked it, the view is really fantastic and breathtaking.Here too, after 1.25 hours of traveling by car, I realize that the good things are so close. Although “good” doesn’t come close here.

Hiked for 3.5 hours to reach here. Nice, but too expensive—25 euros. I do not know if I saw it wrong or if I misread the amount indicated on the board.

It is incredible and really worth the visit and the money. I have been there twice and probably I will go again

The view is just beautiful. Park around is very nice too. The entrance of the tower is paid (12,5 euros for adults), but you don't have to pay to visit park. There are two paid parkings. It's quite windy upstairs, be aware of that :)

An incredible place, very good for spending a weekend with the family and for experiencing vertigo, a breathtaking view.They have a great park for children, and a souvenir shop full of items.You have to visit

Sehr schön angelegter Pfad mit vielen kleinen Wissensstationen und abschließend überwältigender Aussicht über die Saarschleife bis weit ins Land hinein. Mit etwas Glück kommt einem auch manches Kleingetier des Weges. Rollstuhlgerecht bis in die oberste Ebene der Plattform / des Turms. Lohnt sich aufzusuchen.(Translated by Google)Very beautifully laid out path with many small knowledge stations and finally an overwhelming view over the Saar loop far into the country. With a bit of luck, some small animals will come your way. Wheelchair accessible up to the top level of the platform/tower. Worth checking out.

This is a MUST SEE in my opinion. Such an awesome experience. The reason I give it 4 stars is that for many reasons, the visit isn’t intuitive, at least for English-only speaking guests. Google maps wanted to bring me right to the tower, and parking was not where it was supposed to be according to the map. That said, it wasn’t a far walk so it seemed right anyway, though there weren’t many spots and the one we got was a tight fit. Bathrooms were at the parking lot which was great, and clean, but after that, signage was terrible. You have to access the ramp up to the treetop wall at a very specific point which is in the center of the glass buildings. The other trails go to various other attractions I suppose, such as the playground at the exit for the treetop walk. If you buy your tickets online, you do NOT have to wait online, you just go up to the barcode scanner and hold your phone under the scanner and it will read it, even if it looks like it won’t. The actual walk itself was so fun, with lots of interesting things to look at along the way, and the view from the top was amazing, if it was a bit crowded up there. The playground was well worth the $20 for the family. Bring food and snacks unless you want to use vending machines. I saw people with beer too if you feel so inclined to BYOB! Everything was stroller friendly.

Cloef-Atrium, 66693 Mettlach, Germany

If you are in the area you must come here. The tour is over three hours and provides an in-depth view of this Maginot fort. It is cold in the fort so dress warmly!

This is by far the coolest fort I've ever been to because everything still functions. You get to ride the little train to the still functioning gun turits to see a demonstration of how the guns move into position. Huge underground fort, really cool history. Guided tours given twice a day by volunteers who keep the fort going.

Very nice placeYou can really feel the chill of the war.Very well preserved.Lot of stuff placed in the museum and you can easily see that they care about historical accuracy.My tour was guided by Quentin and he was giving a lot of details about the complex.If you are into WWII this is definitely place to visit.

Great tour.If you want an English or German tour make sure you book online so they have a matching tourguide available.

A place worth visiting. An interesting and enjoyable journey that took about two and a half hours.Wear something warm it is cold in the tunnels.Better to wear black shoes, the floor was muddy.For those who cannot ride the stairs (around 150 steps), there is an electric elevator at last stage.

Beautiful and lovingly restored 10 kilometers of bunker system from second works war, including arms and uniform collection, and small train. Everything still fully functioning. Great feat of engineering and shows how enemies can turn into friends over time.Kids loved it. Wear sweaters, it is 12 degrees Celsius year round. Tour takes about 1,5 hours. Breathtaking!

Fantastic tour of an incredible bunker. The tour lasts nearly 3 hours and involves traveling on a train to the far end of the bunker and seeing a working gun move and turn. They have done an excellent job to restore and maintain it.

Very interesting and detailed tour through the historic WW2 bunker. The tour guides are very friendly and informed about the history of the bunker during the war.

This place is amazing. Hadn't heard of it but found it when travelling around France. Good for the price which includes a guided tour. We had ours in English and there was a French group too possible other languages but not sure. The young lady who took us round was very informative and lovely. The place is vast and only a bit is open to the public.You can also park your Motorhome or campervan for 5€ a night. There are toilets there but not sure if they are open 24/7. There are no there facilities for MHs.I can highly recommend if you are interested in history,construction & engineering. 10/10

Yes, the opening times are weird and yes, you'll most likely only going to be able to get a French language guided tour that you won't understand anything of which is a shame. And the tour is very long when you don't understand a word.But this is still one of the best interwar forts to visit. Wonderfully preserved and maintained with a lot of running equipment. You'll take the original narrow gauge train. See the generator running. The turret mechanism works and is demonstrated. It's fantastic!

This was really my first thing I’ve actually experienced in France. I think it really does show off that France’s Pride and willingness to react to what was perceived as the next war. Really impressive engineering. Multi-lingual (French, English & German) though the German tour got mushed into the English one since there was only 2 Germans to the 5 Americans. Would recommend if you really want to see something that got overlooked but is extremely important to the context of WW2.

Amazing site to visit. The tour included a very knowledgeable guide, a train ride and nice long walks inside (and outside) as it's a very extensive site. Extremely entertaining and worth the visit.

Fascinating place to visit, if you have an interest in WW2 history it's a must!!

Utterly fantastic.!!! Wanted to see round a Maginot line fort since I was 9. It did not disappoint at all. If you are in the area, you must go, the tour is long, but you get a train ride as a bonus. Informative and fun!!

This was incredible. The visit lasted nearly 3 hours and was extremely detailed, including 2 trips on the"metro" and a small walk outside. A beautiful location with an incredibly rich and interesting history, we will be coming back with all our guests and telling our friends to go! We followed the French tour but they also do guided tours in English. For the price, I really think this is so worth it. Oh and our tour guide, who I think was called Philippe, was really fantastic.

One of the biggest still accessible forts of the Maginot Line and only one with still working machinery. Lots of original material present. You walk past different sections and are escorted by a well informed guide. Fun aspect...you get to ride an electric train to go from one block to the next and back. Tour is only twice a day and takes 2,5 hours. In the morning the tour is in French only. Afternoon English and German sometimes also possible. There is a toilet on the site. The resto is only open for a few hours in the afternoon. You can also walk around parts of the complex above ground via a set route.

Outstanding Maginot position to visit. Original working train brings you to gun emplacements which are in full working order. English language tours are on Saturdays at 1415. Excellent guides and a great value tour

Absolutely amazing experience.45 meters under the mountain a 3hr long tour of the fortress, connecting bunkers and artillery. With fully functioning 3 story 100 ton turrets.The old ammunition train has been converted to take passengers and transports you from each section of the fortress.They have 4 generators that are over 100 years old and still fully functional (they are turned on once a month, we were lucky enough to be there at that time). There is a full authentic museum in the bowels of the labrynth. The size of this place is incredible.I drove from England to see this fortress and It was certainly worth the journey, what an experience and an eye opener to the brave men who constructed it.Tours are conducted in language groups so just ensure you are there ready for the English tour to start.At 15 euros a head you will not find a better deal on the face of this earth I guarantee it.

A very interesting and educational experience. Mostly well preserved 3-km-big underground WW2 fortress complex. You get to ride a train on the guided tour, which is in French and on demand also in English or German. The main gun still works and it's fun to see it move.

Highly recommended visit. Full of history, lots of original objects and equipment.The guide knows the place like his pocket. My son, who is 11, loved it.It's 12deg all year inside, so you ll need a jumper or jacket.

Amazing experience, and outstanding work. Thank you very much Frederik for showing us "the Monster"!

Rte Militaire, 57920 Veckring, France

One of the best war museums I've seen. The level of detail and choices of the objects presented were incredible. The audio visual displays also mean there is a real immersion in the experiences of these men at Verdun.This is a must see, ideally to begin any trip to Verdun to learn the timeline and key players in the conflict.It's also very easy to move through the museum as an English speaker, everything has the corresponding translation.

A very well-designed memorial and display about the horrors of WWI.The memorial is highly informative and illustrative, and richly equipped with all sorts of artefacts. Absolutely worth a visit.

I definitelly expected more of this memorial. It feels just as a collection of medals and uniforms. Half of it was closed today, but the price remained the same.

This is a spectacular memorial to the events that took place in Verdun and WWI. I wish we had more time to look at everything, but we arrived later in the afternoon. I would recommend 1.5-2hrs to take it all in. It definitely will hit hard if you are able to watch the videos and walk above and on the “muddy” ground. So many lives lost during this conflict. Don’t miss this location, it will change you.

Very good museum, but you need to take the time and effort to fully understand it.

Powerfully moving museum, with excellent exhibits that can really take you back to the battle. The staff were all so kind and helpful as well. Worth the stop!!

A tiny bit underwhelming but still worth a look. Not much big steel, if that’s what you are looking for. This is more of an experiential and story telling type war museum. There were some compelling videos that really showed the immense difficulties faced by soldiers. Clean bathrooms and a small but decent little cafe area to fill your stomach if you wish.

Wonderful visit of the museum. It starts with an animated map of the war, it's context on a European scale. The visitor can then start the visit focusing on Verdun and it's surroundings. The whole visit mixes interactive elements, hyper realistic sets, many objects, testimonies. The visit is moving, rich.. Every person should visit the memorial to feel how important it is to leave in peace. How lucky we are to leave in peace, in Europe.

Well designed and very complete exhibition about what happened in this area during work war I, and an homage to the courage and determination of those who fought in the trenches.

A great museum, I loved the overview presentation with the projection over terrain relief at the beginning, it's a great introduction giving context to the battle. A superb mixture of items, testimonies and art all belonging to people who witnessed the horrors.

Tragic but good to see what s happened there, 100 y ago.

It has always been a goal of mine to visit here to pay my respects to those who lost their lives. The museum does a great job displaying history from both the French and German side. A must visit for any WWI or history enthusiast.

This memorial is very complete and can take a long time to visit if one wants to linger.It is modern and the exhibits very easily accessible.The place is very playful and interactive, very instructive with various reconstructions very well done. Headphones, interactive videos, QRcodes,… Really great ! 🤩Only small downside the direction of traffic a little blurry in places which forces you to go back several times.Virtual reality experience also available before the temporary exhibition.Small bookstore with a few souvenirs and cafeteria space.

Fabulous museum. Information is available in English as well as French and German and is presented visually, auditorially and tactilely. I learned so much about how important the Battle of Verdun was to the French with 75% of the WWI French soldiers participating. The beginning of avaition warfare which occurred in Verdun is explained. The destruction of the constant shelling can still be seen in the landscape. Do visit the Forts of Douaumont and Vaux and the remnants of the destroyed town of Fleury. More than 100 years later the scars of war are highly visible. Go spend the day!

The memorial is nice and mindful of events being represented, but the restrooms were beyond nasty. Unacceptable. Choice at the Cafeteria was limited to say the least.

The original museum was great, so when it was re done I was very worried. However there was no need. The new museum is excellent and well explained and with many individual soldiers contributions, with the likes of Charles Delvert as pictured. The only downside is where have the LiDAR maps gone of the Verdun battlefield?

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. All in all its a great place to visit with the kids, just plan on using the whole day!!

Amazing zoo! Highly recommend it, you can find all kinds of Animals, birds and reptiles here! Our little one enjoyed a lot and so did we! It’s worthed as you can spend all day here. There are some live shows too, that leaves you awestruck! Luckily we could witness the Seal show and it was wow! Perfect for a one day outing from Luxembourg or France!

Well maintained zoo and well taken care of animals. Loved how they have curated shows of feeding certain animals. Only disappointment was unable to see Polarbear. And could keep the penguins in a little cooler environment. Seal show was so amazing.. Beautifully trained 👏 We went there around 10.30AM and we could leisurely cover all the animals within 6pm. Food was OK. You can see lot of ice cream shops but food variety was very less. Overall had a good experience though it was raining.

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.

A wonderful day at the zoo. Animals all engaged with visitors, kept in well built enclosures, well fed and clean

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.

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!

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.

Mixed feelings about this zoo. Overall it looked nice and many animals seemed well taken care of and happy enough. We also know that zoos have breeding and research programmes and can help save endangered species. However, at this zoo we left feeling bad for some of the animals who looked utterly miserable and depressed, especially one of the polar bears. We also saw another polar bear, a brown bear and a black panther pacing up and down in the same pattern over and over which could be a sign of boredom and stress. It was also strange to see some animals who typically live in larger groups such as the Gelada and the Gibbon alone outside in a large enclosure and hardly any others to be found inside. I have also never seen so many cracked glass enclosures as at this zoo! Entrance fees were also very high (34 euros per ticket).

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!

We had a good time in the zoo. It’s huge and has a lot of animals and other species. Good day trip for kids and toddlers. Food options are there but not healthy one. The mini farm for feeding goats are fun for kids

Nice place to visit in your spare time. Takes more than 2 hours to see all the animals. Guide map might be confusing at times and you might need to pass through same place more than once. But overall a positive experience.

Really beautiful light display. Kids absolutely loved all the animals and candy. The beach scene is very impressive. Highly recommend visiting this winter!

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.

A nice and big Zoo, it has many sections from different continents of the world. There is a huge free parking around it. The tickets costs 35€ and not 17€ as mentioned on google maps. Overall, it was nice to visit and spend a sunny Sunday there.

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.

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 :)

Visited the Luminescences festivalThe illumination is beautiful and charming. The walk is about 1.4 kilometers through differently themed areas with hundreds of illuminated figures. Great photo opportunity.

This Zoo is a very beautiful zoo. We visit it with a group and find it was very interesting. All animals was great and the playground was the highlight for our little girl.

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.

Great Zoo park to visit for a day out. We were visiting on Sunday, The parking lot is very close to the zoo. I was able to appreciate many different animals.Very impressive Gorilla enclosure. You can get some lunch in the park or enjoy coffee and ice-cream.

This cathedral isn’t as famous as other cathedrals in France or Europe but it rivals them in terms of its beauty. It is large but has intricately detailed decor. The stonework was phenomenal in both quantity and quality. The interior was amazing and I was taken with the incredible stained glass windows. I didn’t pay them enough attention at first so be sure to look carefully at them. Wonderful feat of engineering.

I only saw the outside since I got there after-hours, but it is a magnificent building. If you're in the area and have an opportunity to go Metz, definitely go and definitely add the cathedral to the list. Also, if you can see the light show (which may be hard to do depending on train schedules and your transportation needs), I would highly recommend!

On 16 July 2024, my wife took me here. Although we aren’t believers, we were amazed by its size and architecture. Much resources must have gone into building and maintaining it. By contrast, I quite like the white “low resolution” public art.

Gorgeous stained glass, and a joy to visit at any time but especially when the sun is streaming directly through the windows. I wish I understood the stories depicted by the windows, but alas. Even if you’re like me and can’t understand the stories or aren’t religious, this is a beautiful place to pause during the day and take in the sights.

A stunning place to visit in Metz. Mostly the glass windows are so amazing to observe. I recommend to visit the place during daylight hours, cause it's so magical to watch the lightened up glasses with the sunlight.

One of the most beautiful Cathedrals I have visited. Very impressive from the outside and even more impressive inside. The Cathedral has beautiful stained glass windows. Absolute must-see in Metz!

Stunning cathedral with some stunning stained glass windows. Well signposted and tri-lingual in many places. Busy yet still peaceful. Tours are available.

Beautiful church in the center of the city. It’s a paradise for architectural enthusiasts. The cathedral is quite large and well build.They had Christmas decorations the time we went there. There is a small Christmas market just adjacent of the church.Definitely recommend to visit.

American Review 🇺🇲 - Beautiful decently large church. Loved all the stained glass. Free to get in, but you can pay to do a tour. It's definitely worth a visit! It's not like you can miss it when visiting Metz. 🤣

Wonderfull, huge, impressive church. The gothic layout reach incredible dimensions mantaining all its spirituality. Absolutely recomended.

I am not a believer and I often criticise the people who believe in God but I have visited Metz Cathedral twice and my thoughts were the same... God exists. He is the mind of the people who designed this building, He is the arms of the men that built it.

Metz Cathedral, located in Metz which is between Paris and Strasbourg, is an extraordinary example of Gothic architecture. Its towering spires and intricate stained glass windows are truly impressive. Inside, the Rose Window is a highlight. This cathedral's historical and architectural significance makes it a captivating destination, offering a glimpse into the past. It's free to enter and you can buy and light candles inside. Highly recommended!

One of my top 5 favorite cathedrals in Europe. The stained glass is absolutely spectacular. Such a beautiful work of art!

A marvellous work of men in a gothic style. Almost 1000 years of history encapsulated in a cathedral. Definitely one of the most impressive gothic cathedrals in the world.

Beautiful 13th century neogothic cathedral with the largest surface area of stained-glass windows in Europe.

Absolutely fabulous, the interior and exterior are unbelievable to see. Well, worth a visit if you are in the area.

It's amazing to step inside such an old cathedral. This building has one of the largest collections of stained glass in the world. There are many well-known artists who have contributed to it. It is also very interesting to see a model of the cathedral showing what was built in each century during its many changes.

I absolutely love this cathedral. Just beautiful!!!

Nice get-away town (Metz) beautiful cathedral 。

Shocked by how stunning this cathedral was. It was absolutely enormous. Perhaps the largest church I’ve ever been in. The outside is an architectural wonder, but the inside takes your breath away with its sheer elevation and open space. If you are into European churches, this is a must see. Even if you’re not, I’d still say you shouldn’t miss it if in Metz.

Hey everyone.... It's a wonderful piece of medieval majesty....PS I get lucky with monuments every time they restore them

Metz Cathedral is a breathtaking masterpiece, adorned with intricate details that leave one in awe. The sheer grandeur of the structure is awe-inspiring and captures the essence of history. It's unfortunate that the historical information texts are exclusively in French, which might pose challenges for non-French-speaking tourists. Nevertheless, the cathedral's beauty and architectural richness transcend language barriers, offering a mesmerizing experience that speaks to the depths of human creativity and devotion.

Metz Cathedral is located in the city center and can be seen from afar. The cathedral was built around 1220 and is a fantastic example of Gothic architecture. There are many ornate statues and decorative elements on the outer walls. The cathedral has a fantastic interior area, with a very high ceiling and large stained glass windows. The cathedral can be viewed almost completely and photos can also be taken. Entry is free

Breath taking gothic cathedrals. The 3rd highest ceiling in France. The stained glass is mesmerizing. The exterior is lovely and the relief sculpture was in great shape. It is a must stop when visiting Metz.

The museum’s design is amazing. But the quality of exhibited art works is not that impressive.It could have been somewhat educational if it was free, but it’s not. So you might like it if you’re REALLY into modern art, but otherwise don’t bother.P.S.: Added photos of the only few examples which seemed interesting.

On 17 July, 2024, my wife and I came here. We decided not to pay to see the exhibitions as we believe what have been exhibiting in our home are not just as aesthetic but also more authentic. When I checked out the toilets, I was wondering whether they are part of the free exhibitions.

An unparalleled collection, exceptional monographs and spectacular exhibitions have made the Centre Pompidou an essential destination in the art world. By the time I went there, it was free and I got fascinated by the exhibitions.

A very unique experience of art. The architecture of the whole building is art itself. Free entry for students and a big space for art to discover. Close to a shopping mall with also a nice coffee inside the museum. Museum Shop was very big with a lot of different books. Really enjoyed the visit.

The Centre Pompidou-Metz is a captivating cultural institution that offers a broad and immersive experience for art enthusiasts. With its impressive architecture and thought-provoking exhibitions, it showcases the works of various artists, both renowned and emerging. The special exhibitions hosted at the Centre Pompidou-Metz add an extra layer of excitement and provide a fresh perspective on contemporary art. Located just a few hundred meters from the center of Metz, it's conveniently accessible and definitely worth a visit. Prepare to be inspired, challenged, and transported into the vibrant world of modern art at the Centre Pompidou-Metz.

Really disappointing. I've been to the Centre Pompidou in Paris and it was wonderful.But this made little sense. One floor was more fantasist art...which will appeal to some, alas not me. Horses for courses.Another floor was a bit mismatched.Another floor was closed. This was my favourite.Then there was a large room with some painted sheets.For my tastes this whole museum needs a rethink...but of course art is subjective. You may love it. Sorry but I didn't.

A beautiful designed museum from 2010 designed by Shigeru Ban and Jean de Gastines. It has a timber roof structure in the form of a hexagon covered with a waterproof membrane creating beautiful light inside.

Centre Pompidou-Metz is a great contemporary art changeable exhibitions venue.Plus the building it self is a great architecture landmark, I hardly recommend everybody to visit it, whatever you are interested in contemporary art or not, there will be a reason for your joy there.

Extremely easy to get lost here! The exhibits are fantastic, smart, and always have an acute logic to them. Visiting the center is a real pleasure.

Centre Pompidou Metz is a stunningly designed exposition building. Any architect should at least have been in it to value how design can open up to possibilities, instead of dictating usage. The way expositions are facilitated by the buildings structure and its surrounding, and how curators used it in their summer-expositions of 2023 ("Bonne Chance", "Worldbuilding", "Repetition", etc.), was like wandering in a dream.Thank you!

A very beautiful museum and exhbition hall - most time with good artists and artwork. It is always worth visiting the museum and the exhibitions.

Fantastic museum, perfect size for a few hours. Great value pricing also especially with a family. Loved the architecture as well.

Amazing art museum/architecture worth any detour! The Centre Pompidou in Metz orchestrates itself as a breath-taking piece of art on its own. Art collector and art analysing Lacan is in the centre of this most spectacular and challenging exposition in the context of art and its pyschoanalysis with view to various given life topics.The curation is one of the most sophisticated and successful ever enjoyed @ an art exposition.

Interstate building and the exhibition “Bon Chance” totally worthy of the trip from Strasbourg.

It's an artistic building and hosts collections of modern art . Noteworthy exhibition is that of Katherina Grosse. A must see.

One of the best modern museums I have crossed in my life. The collections that we saw were sooo well displayed and so interesting. Spent hours there and enjoyed every minute.Keep it up for whoever is managing the place and choosing the art.

It is the Pompidou Museum, so you expect boundary-pushing art, and that was sure the case on the 3rd floor of this museum. It had all kinds of digital arts that are trying to answer social and philosophical questions of life. A bonus was the ability to interact with the video-game-like art.... Like playing a game.Very fun for kids and family.On the second floor there was art by French artist Susanne Valadon. She focused on the human body and was the first artist to paint an unclothed man from the front. The exhibition is comprehensive and shows her entire oeuvre.Her art is bright, colourful and eye-catching.The first floor had contemporary, abstract art.Overall, definitely worth a visit, but I would recommend coming in early. I experienced quite a queue when it opened.

Absolutely mesmerized by this Centre Pompidou-Metz. The exhibitions are all very interesting and I am happy to visit this museum while we are stopping by at Metz for half a day. Highly recommended for any museum lovers! One of a kind 🖼️

The Centre Pompidou in Metz is an amazing museum that deserves more recognition. The artworks they showcase, ranging from classic to contemporary, are truly exceptional. The building itself is a masterpiece and worth a visit in its own right. Don't miss out on their museum shops, which are curated with great stuff. Highly recommended for art lovers and a hidden gem for visitors!

Such a beautiful place for visit there is a muse supermarket you can buy everything inside muse supermarket enjoy everyone

Lika the atmosphere in Metz! Nice exhibition on art and psychoanalysis !

I'm a local, and it's one of my top five things to do here. I live in Metz and I go regularly to see "Le Pompidou" it all again. It's amazing and cool. I love all the exhibitions and also the activities and workshops they propose. It's a very creative environment. The staff is also very caring and willing to help or give you information. Come and marvel!

A tranquil haven in Nancy, ideal for leisurely walks and unwinding. Captured serene moments, like an elderly couple peacefully seated on a bench, without intruding.

Big and nice parkIn the center of the city 🏙

Love this park! Kids, families, older folks are all here, enjoying the fountain, the playground and swings, the community dancing, and lots of cute areas for afternoon tea or apero! Lush, green, and a haven from the people and warmth of Place Stanislas.

De la place Stanislas ce lieu est idéal pour les promenades et familles.. Des jets d eau offrent aux enfants de quoi se rafraîchir les jours de chaleur.. C est un cadre idéal pour les photos de mariage...(Translated by Google)From Place Stanislas this place is ideal for walks and families. Water jets offer children something to cool off on hot days. It is an ideal setting for wedding photos...

Commonly known as The Nursery as it's English translation or colloquially as The Pep, this is almost 22 hectares of park and garden inside a green space of over fifteen hundred hectares. Named as the nursery as Stanislas Leszczyński, former king of Poland, used this space as trees nursery to be planted along Nancy's streets. It's supposedly designed in a checkerboard style (perhaps better observed from above or when the leaves are growing in summer to appreciate the perpendicular shape). It's well laid out near Stanislas Square and alongside Place de la Carrière, with rose gardens, playground and carousel for kids, sporting spaces, puppets theatre, an art deco garden theatre, a music kiosk and so much more. Accessible to everyone and it's wheelchair friendly. Great for family outings or just a stroll and soak up the atmosphere.

Large city park that is well maintained. There are a lot of places to sit and take a break from the city. We enjoyed some cakes from a local bakery while sitting by the fountains. It was a nice experience.

Nice and cozy park with a variety of activities

Such a lovely place. Cool under the trees with the wild flowers and cultivates blooming. I love how one finds the parks in bigger cities have kiosks selling snacks and glaces(I love that word for ice cream). I love how people seem to enjoy the free spaces.

Le parc de la Pépinière est vraiment génial !Il y a tellement de choses à faire et à voir: des jardins magnifiques, des aires de jeux pour les enfants, des espaces pour pique-niquer et même un mini-zoo avec des animaux adorables.L'ambiance est super relaxante, parfait pour se balader ou faire du sport.

Located in the centre of Nancy next to Place Stanislas, the Pépinière park is a wonderful green place for families and couples. It has a rose garden, a mini zoo where peacocks freely wander around, a great playground, sports field, merry-go-round and children's rides. It also has a small cafe and ice cream stand. There are many floral displays, also wooden architecture exhibitions and beautiful paths with ancient and exotic trees for a stroll. Magnificent and calming place.!

A beautiful square albeit not the most scintillating UNESCO site. Interesting history to read about and nice art museum right there.

Place Stanislas is impressive, royal, clean and friendly. It has an Austrian atmosphere with big light-colored houses in style surrounding it. Absolutely worthwhile to visit and discover other historic sceneries around Nancy

Merveilleuse place de jour et quel enchantement à la tombée de la nuit avec un précieux mariage de couleurs entre les dorés des réverbères, des commerces et des différents bleus de la nuit, des jeux de lumières. Un coup d'œil sur les photos vaut mieux que tous les commentaires..A voir absolument(Translated by Google)Wonderful place by day and what an enchantment at nightfall with a precious marriage of colors between the gold of the street lamps, the shops and the different blues of the night, the play of lights. A look at the photos is worth more than all the comments...A must see

On 17 July, 2024, my wife and I came to this great place. Buskers would perform beside the statue. We came again before the sky turned dark so that we wouldn’t miss the summer light show.

Its the most beautiful square both during day and night. It looks like some royal square. During St Nikolas Day, there are light shows and beautiful decorations. This is the best time to visit to witness these beautiful decorations here.

Beautiful square. It is very clean and well taken care of. It looks like it was build just yesterday, but it is there since more then 100 years.It has beautiful lighting at night.This summer there where beautiful lightshows on the buildings.

Check out the summer night time light show! Place Stanislas continues to be a beautiful sight to see and have a coffee, lunch, or dinner in the square. But now after dark enjoy a laser light show across the buildings. Grab an ice cream before or after the show.

Site merveilleux entouré de ces statues aux quatre coins de cette dite place Un son et lumière de toute beauté , un parc au nom de Pépinière Royal 1765/1772 ; magnifiques balades à faire ; de quoi se restaurer ; un petit parc animal ; la cathédrale à 2 pas de la place Saint Nicolas un Hôtel de ville magnifique … mais des rues où l’herbes sauvages poussent n’importe où …(Translated by Google)Wonderful site surrounded by these statues in the four corners of this so-called place A sound and light of great beauty, a park in the name of Pépinière Royal 1765/1772; magnificent walks to take; something to eat; a small animal park; the cathedral, a stone's throw from Place Saint Nicolas, a magnificent town hall... but streets where wild grass grows anywhere...

Beautiful sound and light show every night at 10:30pm in the summer months! What’s cool about this show is that it’s not only on the main city hall building — it’s on the side buildings too! Plenty of space in the square to stand and watch, or to take a table on one of the many patios and terraces with a coffee and dessert. The laser light show only plays once each night, but it’s easily 15-20 mins long.

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.

Famous square surrounded by beautiful buildings and four golden gates. Don't forget to have some pastis on one of the terraces and to walk through the park that can be through the gate next to restaurant Michelangelo.

Beautiful example of a large European town square. It's so grand and decorative. There are a lot of cafes and restaurants in the square which created a great atmosphere. We sat in the middle of the square in the mid afternoon and enjoyed the sun and the buzz of all of the people running around, eating and talking.I especially loved the grand, curved, fences at each of the corners. Painted opulently in black and gold.

In addition to its historical allure, Place Stanislas boasts a selection of charming cafes and restaurants, perfect for indulging in delicious cheesecakes and refreshing drinks while soaking in the ambiance. For families, there's a nearby park where children can play and unwind, making it an ideal destination for visitors of all ages to enjoy a day out in Nancy.

Main focal point of whole Nancy city , real nice place.

If you're in Nancy, you have to come here. It is the centre of the old town, surrounded by centuries of history, great, very well-maintained buildings and part of the historic route. The gleaming golden portals leading in all directions give it a special flair.

Beautiful. We visited at the end of march and there were barely people there.

Fine example of Neoclassical urban architecture with baroque gates and fountains

An unexpected gem. Stanislas Square is beautiful, and even better at dusk or in the dark. Lots of restaurants and bars to sit down and savour the atmosphere.

Large square ringed with beautiful buildings, cafes, museums and fountains. Gorgeous.

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. Many cafés and tourist shops can be found here.A visit should take at least 20 to 30minutes and you can easily spend more time exploring the area around. It is a major tourist attraction in Eastern France and UNESCO world heritage site.

This is definitely a must go if you are in Nancy. It is just beautiful with the old town buildings and since it's the centre of the old town, there is a 15 minute long light show every night at 10PM.

Je connaissais la place Stanislas seulement de réputation. Vraiment pas déçu, cette place vaut vraiment le détour. Mais ce n'est qu'une petite partie de la ville de Nancy, ils y a tant de petits joyaux à découvrir édifices religieux, beaux bâtiments aux façades richement ornées, parcs,....Je suis de passage aujourd'hui, mais je vais vite revenir pour découvrir encore plus cette ville(Translated by Google)I only knew Place Stanislas by reputation. Really not disappointed, this place is definitely worth the detour. But this is only a small part of the city of Nancy, there are so many little gems to discover: religious buildings, beautiful buildings with richly decorated facades, parks, etc.I'm passing through today, but I'll come back soon to discover more of this city.

Beautiful square surrounded by restaurants and bars. Full of life and immaculately tidy.

A majestic Place in the charming Nancy.You can revive the ostentatious that marked the French monarchy and have a glimpse of their peak.Get the tour train from there for having a nice and informative trip to the most famous spots in town.

Loved the vibe! The great square, the gorgeous gate, cafes and people watching. Every street leading to the square has plenty of restaurant choices and interesting shops. It's a nice area to walk as well as through the park.

Very beautiful square from the 18th century in the heart of Nancy.

There is sound and light show during summer. So we visited in the night for the show and as well as during the day just to enjoy the beauty of nancy

Follow the metal signs on the floor to reach the famous owl. The legend goes that if you touch the Owl while making a wish, it will come true.

Dijon’s Owl's Trail In the very heart of Dijon, you can follow a trail indicated by 22 owls on the cobblestones of pedestrian streets, to discover top places and points of interest of the city.

The owl on the pillar is quite small and could be missed so look carefully. Nevertheless, signs with owls are located all along the old town which I thought was cute and a great marketing tool to promote tourism

Excellent architecture, iron-work, sculptures and old buildings. This area of the picturesque Dijon is rich with local history, iconic buildings and some beautiful cobbled alleys leading through narrow walls between cathedrals, rectory and other substantial buildings. Wonderful examples of this period and worth the visit on foot.

Please don’t miss the little dragonIt’s on the left of the owlMust say blessing to the dragon before making your wishes to the owl then walk away from the dragon and owl and never look backOtherwise wishes won’t come true and bad luck all around

The Owl of Dijon, located on the Church of Notre-Dame, is a charming and historic carving believed to bring good luck when touched. This small yet significant detail adds a touch of whimsy and cultural intrigue to the already beautiful and historic city of Dijon. Kids had great fun following the trail of owl.

The Owl Trail is an absolutely ingenious idea for travellers to navigate and learn about the city!! Learned so much and had fun along the way. Great for children and adults alike.

By the time that you get to the now "faceless" owl you will have seen some amazing architecture and sights of Dijon. It's a wonderfully easy way to start a walking tour and, it starts really near the SNCF train station in the park (see photo)

Dijon is a fantastic city. We will be back😍

Die Eule an sich ist ein bisschen unspektakulär, aber wenn man schon mal hier ist, sollte man sie berühren, um sich das Glück zu sichern. Der Eulenrundgang ist schön und sehr empfehlenswert. Im Tourismusbüro gibt es dafür eine Broschüre für 4€ - auch in deutscher Sprache.(Translated by Google)The owl itself is a bit unspectacular, but while you're here, you should touch it to ensure your luck. The owl tour is beautiful and highly recommended. There is a brochure for €4 at the tourist office - also in German.

It is indeed an owl, an overly hyped owl, faceless and about the size of the palm of my hand that is worthy of a lot of praise as it makes way for owles pretty much everywhere in this city, and that is pretty impressive in my book.Long live the owels!

The Owl trail is a fantastic way to discover Dijon. In addition to the 22 places along the route, there are tons of attractions along the way that you can get lost in. We took almost 2.5 hours to see everything because we kept stopping and wandering.Very unique and highly recommended. Worth the few euros it costs to get the official map or app.

In fact, the idea with the Owl, and the tourist routes where you are accompanied by owl, is simply ingenious. this idea, of course, is also implemented in other cities. But in Dijon, which is a larger than other cities of the region where we were, this is a real help in order not to get lost and see the main sights of the city. Owl itself accompanied us almost everywhere where we were not in this city.

Great walk around Dijon, the owls will take you to interesting places :)

Smaller than expected. You’ll walk by and miss it if you aren’t paying attention.

Fun place to visit and try to grant your wishes by following the ritual of stroking the owl with your left hand. Love the history and the way the story has spread to other souvenirs in Dijon

Dijon ist einfach eine Reise wert.Auf dem Weg durch Stadt muss man dem Vögelchen folgen und wird automatisch zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten geführt.(Translated by Google)Dijon is simply worth a trip.On the way through the city you have to follow the bird and it will automatically guide you to all the sights.

Nice Museum, very well renovated mixing modern display and traditional aesthetic.Sculptures, paintings, ancient and more modern art will be available for free, it is a very unique initiative from the city of Dijon.Well served with 2 elevators too

An extensive collection of classic paintings, sculptures etc in a fantastic medieval building. While most of the art itself does nothing much to me, the building is definitely worth the visit. The contemporary exhibition dives into the religious art from the region around 1500….a lot of suffering on both sides of the tableau.

Definitely worth a visit and should allocate empty time for it. There's no overcrowding so ot is quiet and you can take your time..And, it's free entry.

The Dukes of Bourgondy took the belfrey clock of Kortrijk and placed it on the Notre Dame at Dijon in order for the 'Jaquemart' to strike each hour of the day. But it wouldnt be the only artifact that the Dukes would take from Flanders. As the power of the Dukes rose, so as well did the cultural richness as they ordered several most reknown artist of the time to excell on their artwork. Although the French revolution destroyed the church where the richness of the Dukes was ment to survive the ages, the tombs survived so we can still witness how Klaus Sluter sculpted the 'plearants' in order to grieve for the Duke and his whife. But there is much more to see than only the medieval art. Certaibly wirthwhile the visit.

What a great museum this is and it is free (in the summer). Absolute must see in Dijon.

We visited this museum on a weekend and the entrance was free, which was quite a surprise. The permanent collection is well worth the visit. There are many sections spanning different art periods of History and all of them are very interesting. The tombs are exquisitely detailed and very beautiful. There are immense paintings by Vieira da Silva and her husband Arpad Szenes if you are a fan. Definitely worth the visit.

Nice museum although the directions to follow for going around the museum were somewhat patchy.Plenty of oil paintings on canvas, a good section on sculpture, covering especially on François Pompon.The other very interesting parts were on the history of Burgundy and its four dukes.Unless I missed it, I was surprised of not seeing anything about Gustave Effeil whom has we know built the Effeil Tower and was born and grew up in Dijon

Free entry but you need to go to the counter to get a little ticket before you cross into the galleries. I think it's just to find out where you come from for research purposes. The owl walk comes through here (see my other post) There's a small but nice green patch out the front if you need a rest.

Beautiful place with loads of art, a wide variety of it, and a bit of history! The Duke and Duchesses tombs are particularly impressive.

This museum is a must-see in Dijon with artwork from as early as the 14th century. It demonstrates the evolution of art from two to three-dimensional art employing more artistic technique & introducing light and depth.

This is an exceptional monument that is home to over 1500 art works, dating from antiquity to present day. Visitors will enjoy an artistic journey through centuries of masterpieces that make this gallery one of the best and most visited in France. Entry is free..

Ein wunderschönes Museum der Entdeckungen - auch Modelle aus Sluters Arbeiten in der Chartreuse (Moses-Brunnen) den wir morgens sahen. Der Anbau passt sich bestens an den Altbau an - auch mit Gegenwartskunst, dort ein Gemälde von Gerhard Richter. Vom Mittelalter bis 19. Jahrhundert: Meisterwerke von Rude (Marseillaise) und seiner Frau Sophie, Canova, Guido Reni und vielen anderen. Die Sammlung ist barrierefrei, kostenlos zugänglich. Im UG Schließfächer, WCs. Ein Schatzhaus für alle mit medialen Zugängen!(Translated by Google)A beautiful museum of discoveries - including models from Sluter's work in the Chartreuse (Moses Fountain) which we saw in the morning. The extension adapts perfectly to the old building - also with contemporary art, there a painting by Gerhard Richter. From the Middle Ages to the 19th Century: Masterpieces by Rude (Marseillaise) and his wife Sophie, Canova, Guido Reni and many others. The collection is barrier-free and accessible free of charge. Lockers and toilets in the basement. A treasure house for everyone with media access!

Lovely museum, a nice mixture of art, sculpture and modern art. The real treat is to see the school groups. These children put up their hands for questions and are eager to answer. They will cope well with the abstract.

Superb museum in a historical setting (palace of Burgundian dukes). What can be better? Well, it’s also free (permanent exhibition). The museum is not too big, so your mind can digest it and the collection is really stunning- starting from Middle Ages right to the XX centuries modernism. Amazing to see all those emotions portrayed by the artists- fear, hate, love, compassion. All this go through centuries of art. Sometimes you can feel yourself in the middle of the battle or a tragic mythological scene. I truly enjoyed this museum.

Nice museum with a lot of pictures and sculptures. Especially the pictures of Árpád Szenes and his wife. Free entry.

Cool museum with a huge exhibition of art pieces. Interesting architecture of the space and friendly staff of the museum. If you are visiting Dijon and have some time for museums, I would recommend to visit Musee des Beaux-Arts.

This is an excellent museum, which welcomes visitors and is set in an excellent location full of history in its own right. It is free to enter and being a non French speaker, unlike my wife, I found the English translation at the foot of most labels really helpful. The descriptions and explanations are written in a friendly and informative manner that make you eager to learn more.My favourite discovery was about the 'mourners', a fascinating set of sculptures that accompany the tombs of Philip the bold and John the fearless. I was therefore excited to find miniatures of the mourners in the excellent gift shop, one of which now adorns my shelf at home. I can thoroughly recommend this as a must see venue.

I enjoyed my visit. The artwork is thoughtfully displayed, and there was a surprising number of sculptures. Admission is free to view the permanent collection.

Great museum with a lot of different exhibitions and displays, ranging from the history of the building itself to medieval up to 20C art as well as some contemporary exhibits at the very top floor of the museum. Free of charge to view the permanent collection but you have to pay to see the temporary exhibition.

Its free, has amazing architecture to look at and some outstanding art as well. Just for the ceilings in some rooms it is worth a visit though. Go to the top floor and onto the balcony of the dukes to look at the coffins.

Amazing museum in an amazing city. The museum is objectively small, only three floors, but what a chic and amazing exposition. I'm not talking about the fact that the entrance is free. This is absolutely and very important for all visitors, especially for those who go with the whole family and who want to join the works of art. And of course many thanks for this to the city. Where I was, I have not seen this anywhere else, it is unique, many thanks to the city for this ones more. Exposition from ancient times to the present day, very good logistics of rooms, very good arrangement of paintings, spacious halls - all this in general is conducive to a calm viewing of the collection.100% recommendation!

The entrance is on the side of the large building that was once the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy. The collection spans a long period and is not so special. Sometimes you see an item that stands out but most of it you just pass.What is impressive are the tombs of the Dukes of Burgundy which are best seen from a balcony above.The museum is a maze of galleries with stairs and elevators everywhere. Navigation is a bit difficultEntrance is free.

Palais des ducs et des Etats de Bourgogne, Pl. de la Sainte-Chapelle, 21000 Dijon, France

The best chateau to visit in Burgundy. Beautifully restored, an interpreted interpreter in great detail in multiple languages throughout. Fascinating to discover the many layers of history here, each wonderfully preserved.

The castle and surroundings are pretty nice, but the castle was closed the last day you could visit it, even though there was no mention except for the announcement on the castle gate. It's a little too late to find that out when you've already driven there. The castle will also be closed for a couple of months, so be sure to ask in advance if it's reopened.

6€ entrance in 2024. not all rooms or towers can be visited. it's a nice looking chateau but there are others more suitable for photography. I couldn't bring my tripod because the spikes could damage the ground they said. the receptionist seemed to be a little nervous or stressed.

Very beautiful castle, fantastically preserved and cleaned exteriors. The guide was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen. Great history happened there throughout the periods.

Free to visit when we went as beautiful no renovated. Lots of information about the renovations. Pretty village. Steep hill - we rode up from the canal.

A splendid village about thirty minutes from Dijon, don't miss it.

Lovely visit, although small it's super nice to visit the outside and the inside. It's being now reconstructed.The entrance is only 5 euros.

Châteauneuf-en-Auxois Castle is a medieval castle located in the town of the same name, fifty kilometers from Dijon, in Burgundy. In Romanesque and Gothic style. To visit absolutely is a gem not to be missed here you can breathe the Middle Ages.

Beautiful Chateau. Stunning location. Very well presented. English spoken. Surrounded by beautiful old village.

Absolutely gorgeous chateau which was recently renovated. The exhibits are realize good, and the village is quaint. I highly recommend a visit.

Super place. Well worth an hour away from the wine in Beaune.Beautiful building and interesting displays in an old hospital.Audio guide and plan provided. Good value.

1/4/23Very interesting museum in a former hospital that was in use up to 1984! Tells the story of how the hospital worked over time and daily life there. Also a must visit for medieval art and architecture enthusiasts as the place is full of it. Displays are informative with the provision of an audio guide which can be in English and French.

Le musée Hôtel-Dieu - Hospices de Beaune est un incontournable de la région bourguignonne ! 🏰 Ce lieu historique, fondé en 1443, est magnifiquement conservé et offre une plongée fascinante dans le passé. L’architecture gothique, avec ses toits de tuiles vernissées, est tout simplement splendide. La visite avec audioguide est très enrichissante, offrant des explications claires et intéressantes sans être trop longues. Les salles des malades, les meubles d’époque et les œuvres d’art sont impressionnants. C’est un lieu chargé d’histoire et d’émotion qui mérite absolument une visite.(Translated by Google)The Hôtel-Dieu - Hospices de Beaune museum is a must-see in the Burgundy region! 🏰 This historic place, founded in 1443, is beautifully preserved and offers a fascinating dive into the past. The Gothic architecture, with its glazed tile roofs, is simply splendid. The audio guide tour is very enriching, offering clear and interesting explanations without being too long. The sick rooms, period furniture and works of art are impressive. It is a place full of history and emotion that absolutely deserves a visit.

Great place to visit, so many history inside…I have been there with my 11 years old son and he was also very interested, the place is very well maintained and organized, definitely a must go if you are in Beaune!

Hôtel-Dieu Museum is one of Beaune's must-visit attraction spots, besides the various wine domains and caves in the city. You'll learn about the building's history and transformation, which is entwined with that of the city. Audio-guide is included in the entry ticket. Book online in advance to avoid long queue.

This is a must see if you are in the area. The building is definitely unique with a great story spanning centuries. The self-guided tour (with individual devices for narration) takes up to 2 hours.

We visited on a half market day via tour bus and enjoyed the area. Restrooms were not bad. There are many places to have lunch and shady spots to relax. The market packed up at 1, so get there early if you want to check it out!

The hospice is definitely worth a stop. The very detailed audio information played on demand via a special phone provided was a great addition to the basic tour. It is an amazing place that was set up by a nobleman in the 1400s.

The Hôtel-Dieu Museum, located within the Hospices de Beaune in France, is a fascinating historical site. The museum showcases the former hospital's rich history, featuring impressive architecture, vibrant tapestries, and a collection of medical instruments. Visitors can explore the iconic Polychrome Room, known for its stunning timber ceiling. The museum provides insight into medieval healthcare practices and the charitable work of the Hospices. Overall, it's a captivating blend of history and art, offering a unique glimpse into the past.

A must see place in this region! Very good reconstitution of what this hospital used to be, how it was founded and the importance it had in the community.The visit is well organized and you can use the audio-guide (which is included in the ticket) in order to have detailed information of each room / area of the hospital.

J'ai découvert les hospices de Beaune. Un peu de monde à l'entrée mais ça va relativement vite. Prenez l'audioguide c'est bien fait et complet.On passe de salle en salle, qui sont splendides. On retrouve aussi dans le film " la grande vadrouille "J'ai passé 2h tellement j'ai adoré.C'est endroit est une pépite !(Translated by Google)I discovered the hospices of Beaune. A little crowded at the entrance but it goes relatively quickly. Take the audio guide, it's well done and complete.We go from room to room, which are splendid. We also find in the film “the big mop”I spent 2 hours because I loved it so much.This place is a gem!

Very interesting and astoundingly beautiful museum which was a hospital in the early modern age. If you are anywhere near Beaune, this is certainly worth checking out. Cheap admission includes audio tour which is available in many languages. Great trip through 16th-18th century history.

Beaune is famous for wine and this impressive former hospital for the poor. The Burgundian roofs and architecture are beautiful to see and it is famous with tourists. You can get an audioguide and explore the history of the halls. Every year in Nocember is the charity wine auction as the hospices also have their own vinyards.

A must see. An historical monument that's full of interest and home to a fabulous altar polyptic. Keenly priced, with free audioguides.

Absolutely a MUST VISIT. I understand that a lot of people come to visit and drink wines at the many châteauxs But this place has great beauty and wonderful history. It tells us how FAR medicine has come ! And at times, how little we have advance? It's super interesting.

I was wondering to see this building since the day I watched La grande vadrouille with Louis de Funes. These roofs are the part of the regional masterpiece protected by UNESCO.However, the museum is boring, and all you get for 12€ is just a walk with dolls installations. 6 halls for 12€. Too high price to see the roofs.

Super visite !Le lieu est très bien restauré, beaucoup de belles choses à voir, la visite avec l'audio guide très intéressante et jamais longue.Nous avons passé un très bon moment, agréable et enrichissant.PS : les toilettes sont propres et spacieuses, ce qui est toujours agréable.(Translated by Google)Great visit!The place is very well restored, many beautiful things to see, the visit with the audio guide is very interesting and never long.We had a great time, enjoyable and enriching.PS: the toilets are clean and spacious, which is always nice.

Make time to go visit. This hospital built in the 1400s. Very interesting. The audio tour is presented as if you are talking with the wealthy couple that funded the construction. A fun POV. If you bring children, there's a special audio tour available for them. Very enjoyable .

Hôtel-Dieu Museum - Hospices de Beaune is an absolute must-visit! Taking the guided tour is highly recommended to fully immerse yourself in the rich history of this place. While many flock to the region for wine tasting at the numerous châteaux, don't overlook the incredible beauty and fascinating history here. The museum provides valuable insights into the evolution of medicine and leaves you pondering how far we've come, yet how little we've advanced in some aspects. It's an incredibly interesting and thought-provoking experience that shouldn't be missed.

A true gem in Beaune, rich in history and beautiful preservation. For 12 euro this is a must see. You are provided a complimentary audio guide (no headset so bring your own if you want) and the tour takes just about an hour at your own pace. You learn about the beautiful story of the hospice, see the spaces as they were with a lot of original decor, and learn about their wine domaine too. Excellent.

a wonderful visit to France's 14th century past - an inspired venue dedicated towards healing men & women's hearts, body and souls.Thank you Emerald river cruises for organizing this wonderful excursion.

Nice but might not worth the entrance fee. The building is beautiful from the outside but not as beautiful as it is shown in the pictures

Stunning buildings and full of history. We got the audio tour and enjoyed learning about the hospice and its past. Lovely place to spend an afternoon as a couple or a family. The staff were friendly and helpful and speak many languages to help you with questions.

Lieu remarquable de par ses toitures bourguignonnes et son histoire. A visiter absolument si vous êtes à Beaune. Bourguignonne de naissance j'y allais pour la première fois et je n'ai pas été déçue. Réserver vos billets à l'avance sur internet car il y a énormément de monde.(Translated by Google)A remarkable place for its Burgundian roofs and its history. A must-visit if you are in Beaune. Born in Burgundy, I went there for the first time and I was not disappointed. Book your tickets in advance online as it gets very busy.

Very impressive building from the 15th century. Created to provide hospital facilities to the poor, it continued to provide medical services into the late 20th century.The price of entry includes a self- controlled audio tour about life in the Hospices through its history.

If you are in Beaune, then to visit Hospice de Beaune is a must. It started already 1443 as a resort for poor and sick people. Two things was the real drive to make this hospital so successful.1) Charity and free work from religious people, for example nuns work.2) Donation of vineyards from growers in a hope for reward in heaven.In the past, vineyards in Burgundy was just simple agriculture, and nobody could imagine that these tiny plots should once become the most sought after in the world. Today the Hospice own around 60 hectares of premium land in Burgundy, and the economic return from selling grapes and wine is enormous.Is a cheers for this achievement appropriate or not ???

Sleepy little town with amazing architecture. The hospice with its beautiful roof was especially lovely. Wandered through the narrow streets and came upon an impressive looking church.

Beautiful small French town with a walled medieval city center. Charm and history together. Wonderful stop for lunch on our way to Switzerland.

Quel magnifique lieu chargé d'histoire.Nous avons passé 2h30 dans les diverses salles et nous avons l'impression de n'avoir vu qu'une infime partie des Hospices de beaunesMagnifique visite💯👏(Translated by Google)What a magnificent place full of history.We spent 2.5 hours in the various rooms and we have the impression of having only seen a tiny part of the Hospices de BeaunesWonderful visit💯👏

This place is amazing. Bever thought that a private own hospital could be this cozy and welcoming, especially during the revolution days. The facilities are surprisingly well preseved and protected for the visitors to know about that period of time. If it wasn't that sunny, I would love to spend more time there just to listen to the bells from the tower.

Phenomenal History shared in such a well-preserved and clear manner:)

The roof shows craftsmanship and technique but is not easy to see outside of the court yard on the inside.You can see the front side roof doesn't have the intriguing patterns.

Brilliant museum. Informative but not overly lengthy guide, in many languages. Very well re-created. Very interesting.

Expérience passionnante ! Nous avons eu l’excellente idée de choisir une visite guidée commentée, largement mieux qu’un audio guide. Notre guide Chloé nous a fait vivre les hospices comme si nous y étions , (merci Chloé, vous êtes top 👌) … je conseille aux visiteurs de prendre leur billet en ligne, car l’attente est longue, et ça vous permet de couper la file.(Translated by Google)Exciting experience! We had the excellent idea of ​​choosing a guided tour with commentary, much better than an audio guide. Our guide Chloé made us experience the hospices as if we were there, (thank you Chloé, you are great 👌) ... I advise visitors to buy their ticket online, because the wait is long, and that allows you to cut the hassle file.

Such a fascinating building and history. I was amazed and it definitely surpassed my expectations. I definitely recommend the museum. The collection of chests was great. I was surprised by the inner courtyard, the pharmacy, the Kitchen, the main doom with its roof and the little chapel.

Such a beautiful building! The self-led tour with the recording was so informative.

Very interesting visit. Great history. Well preserved and used as a hospital until relatively recently.

Une superbe visite qui vaut vraiment le coup : l'audio-guide apporte énormément et vous permet de déambuler tout en récupérant de précieuses informations.L'état de conservation des salles, du mobilier sont excellents et vous plongent dans une formidable plongée historique ... La salle des pôvres, la pharmacie, la cuisine ...Le triptyque du jugement dernier est sublime et saisissant.On reviendra pour profiter d'une visite guidée.Un conseil : acheter vos billets à l'avance car vous bénéficiez ainsi d'un coupe-file bien utile en période de forte affluence touristique.(Translated by Google)A superb visit that is definitely worth it: the audio guide is very helpful and allows you to wander around while collecting valuable information.The state of conservation of the rooms and the furniture are excellent and immerse you in a wonderful historical dive...

It is one of the most beautiful constructions of medieval times. Best atmosphere and vibes ✨️

This church and Abbey is one of the best preserved in France. It is surrounded by it's own walls and gates which gives it an impression of a fotres.Already in the 6th century a church was built here in a place where there used to be a Roman castrum or army camp.The Abbey got a boost in 875 when the remains of Saint Philibert were put to rest in this church and gave it it's name.The church is sober on the interior but has some interesting mosaics behind the main altar.At the entrance is a small exhibition.The Abbey has a nice central courtyard

Beautiful Building, well worth seeing the main church and surroundings. The building has a special feel to it, as you enter the nave (main part of the church)

Hate crashes a wedding and saw the place for free. To be mosaic in the ambulatory is excellent

Ehemalige Benediktinerabtei aus dem 9. Jahrhundert. Wirkt freundlich hell, viele romanische Elemente haben sich erhalten. Erste Anklänge an die Gotik künden sich bereits an.(Translated by Google)Former Benedictine abbey from the 9th century. Looks friendly and bright, many Romanesque elements have been preserved. The first hints of Gothic can already be seen.

Worth a visit for sure.

Schön sehr alt gut erhalten(Translated by Google)Beautiful, very old, well preserved

Nice mosaics in the choir section. Don't forget to go down in the crypt

Worth visiting with the rest of the afternoon around Tournus

majestätischer kirchenbau aus der frühen romanik, teilweise noch mit altertümlichem bruchsteinmauerwerk. im westwerk eine michaelskapelle im obergeschoss, das mittelschiff weist eine originelle einwölbung mit quertonnen auf. besonders entzückend die krypta mit dem zierlichen säulenwäldchen. auch sehenswert die schönen romanischen skulpturen, der kreuzgang und der kapitelsaal.(Translated by Google)Majestic church building from the early Romanesque period, partly still with ancient quarry stone masonry. In the westworks there is a Michael's Chapel on the upper floor, the central nave has an original vault with transverse barrels. The crypt with the delicate grove of columns is particularly delightful. Also worth seeing are the beautiful Romanesque sculptures, the cloister and the chapter hall.

Beautiful abbey of some significance giving an insight into what Cluny may have been. Modern stained glass windows compliment the soaring architecture of the nave. Mosaics in the ambulatory, a magnificent crypt and the adjacent St. Michel Chapel all add to a great visit.

Great church, well worth a visit!

Historical building, still used as a church for mass, surounded by part of its ancient defensive towers. A view shops and cafes also provide interesting goods and drinks/food. Tournus tourist office is also located opposite the abbey giving good information about the local region. Public toilets were closed due to Convid 19. Parking the car should be done outside the Abbey grounds. The SNCF railway station is but a short walk away.

Wonderful Abbey, there was a wedding today and I was thinking how lovely to marry here. To walk around and see how old but well preserved it is, a lovely little town on the Soane river. A pleasure to visit.

One of the most amazing churches I have been to, and I have been to hundreds or thousands of them. Beautifully restored, but not too much changed from its original state. Wonderful natural light. Not too crowded. Amazing architecture. Interesting, beautiful town that is not too touristy (at least in January, when I visited). Great, inexpensive lunch at the restaurant just outside (to the south of) the main entrance. If you like old buildings or Romanesque architecture, you should not miss Tournus.

Pl. de l'Abbaye, 71700 Tournus, France

Layers of history are on display, with excellent 3D displays showing past-to-present contrasts and changes.Look out for the freestanding screens placed around; move and touch them to see the hidden layers.It's cool even on a very hot day, so it offers a break from the summer heat.

Senstively done. Creation then destruction of a medieval masterpiece.

This place was for centuries of incomparable importance for Western Christian spirituality. Then 90% of it was demolished by the French Revolution. And today it's a monument, an engineering college and a stud. It seems sad that local Christians apparently don't want to revive at least some small form of worship here to remind us all of the One this place was supposed to be all about (though Taizé is just up the road).

A beautiful mix of the old and new!They have many exhibits that use technology to illustrate exactly how the abbey used to look hundreds of years ago.Get a tour if you can for more information, but not necessary.Parking is just along the street.I believe 25 and under is free admission too 😎

No waiting for entrance. Great architectures with a history. It was well maintained. The whole village was picturesque and worth visiting.

Nice experience. It is worth visiting, but nothing has remained from the medieval time.

There was a 17 minute film on inside about the abbey but was all in French and because of covid we couldn't use the audio devices usually given to tourists. They should've put subtitles on. Directions throughout the abbey could've been more obvious as we had to backtrack to get back to the entrance. It was great seeing the entire history of the abbey and sad to see how much of it got destroyed. Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing, a huge Abbey and archeological museum. They make some nice treats, the honey is delicious.

Absolutely stunning, the largest and most powerful monastery of the Middle Ages. Begun before the year one thousand, and with a cathedral which at its height was 180 meters long with a vault supported by 1200 columns - very impressive dimensions!

Going there was not super planned for us on our holidays. But it absolutely was worth it! The place is spectacular. Super big with nice explanations and visuals on how it looked once it was build. We were really in the atmosphere of medieval period !

A beautiful, remarkable place with such much history inside. A Must Visit

Really interesting visit. Lots to see.

This beautiful little town has a lot to offer if you're cruising through the back roads of Burgundy, and the Abbey is a spectacular way to spend the day if you enjoy history and ancient buildings. Besides the ruins and restorations, there are 3D films and models to dazzle you. Don't skimp on adding the Tour des Fromages toi your visit (spoiler alert - it's nothing to do with cheese). Don't be put off by the declaration of how many steps there are to climb, the view is worth it.

Such a great museum for one of the most important and iconic places of the Middleages. Really kind lady at the ticket office/bookshop, sadly the ancient complex of Cluny doesn't almost exist anymore but the remains are nicely hosted here. A visit to remember!

It is unfortunate that a majority of the place was dismantled and sold off.The place is in a constant state of renovation.There was a nice film explaining the history and the audio guide helped walk us through what was left on the place. Stepping outside and seeing where the footings are represented on the ground shows the shadow of the size of the Abby at one time. So little is left that I don’t know if the money to learn about it is worth it.

Il y avait quasiment personne, c'était très agréable!!! Le personnel souriant et aimable. Le parc est grand mais pas trop ma fille de 3 ans a pu marcher tout du long. Les animaux semblent être bien traités. Le singe nous faisait des grimaces. Les attractions sont suffisantes pour une petite. On a passé une superbe journée.(Translated by Google)There was hardly anyone there, it was very pleasant!!! The staff smiling and friendly. The park is big but not too big, my 3 year old daughter was able to walk the whole way. The animals appear to be well treated. The monkey made faces at us. The attractions are enough for a little one. We had a wonderful day.

Pros: lovely animals including giraffes, elephants, a lion and the park's mascot, a gorgeous white tiger. We enjoyed the splash fountains and waterslides.Cons: the layout is very confusing. We never found the hippos or wolves. The water park has no pools, just slides and fountains. Also almost no shade at all which was the main reason I deducted a star.

We gave this zoo five stars because we had an excellent day. We spent the morning visiting the animals. We got to see some animals we had never seen before: komodo dragon,racoons,capybara and axolotls. Then we spent the afternoon in the small but fun water park. Make sure you take your speedos - board shorts not allowed. We took a picnic that we left in the car but you can leave to get it and come back in. Enjoy!!

Une journée en famille au parc que nous ne connaissions pas. Il n'y avait pas trop de monde ce qui a rendu la journée particulièrement agréable. Peu de monde dans les allées du parc, ce qui donne la possibilité de bien profiter des animaux. Peu d'attente également lors des attractions (15 min maximum pour une attraction, sinon moins de 5 minutes à chaque fois).Le parc est très propre et les agents sont très agréables. Nous reviendrons !(Translated by Google)A family day at the park that we didn't know about. There weren't too many people which made the day particularly pleasant. Few people in the paths of the park, which gives the opportunity to enjoy the animals. There is also little waiting time during attractions (15 minutes maximum for one attraction, otherwise less than 5 minutes each time).The park is very clean and the agents are very pleasant. We will come back !

Great day trip for all especially in July and August when the water park is open. New slides in the pool are excellent for kids under 7 and new games are fun. I highly recommend it.

Fijne combinatie tussen zoo zwemparadijs en attractiepark, ideaal voor gezinnen met niet te grote kinderen (+/-12 jaar). Je hebt er waterglijbanen voor de iets grotere kinderen en voor de kleinste een waterparadijs waar overal waterstralen rondspuiten. In de zoo heb je verschillende dieren waaronder apen, giraffes, olifanten, nijlpaarden, zebra's, vogels, reptielen,... De attracties zijn gericht op de kinderen van klein tot ongeveer 12 jaar. Je mag als volwassene mee in de attracties.(Translated by Google)Fine combination between zoo swimming paradise and amusement park, ideal for families with not too big children (+/-12 years). You have water slides for the slightly older children and for the smallest a water paradise where jets of water spray everywhere. In the zoo you have different animals including monkeys, giraffes, elephants, hippos, zebras, birds, reptiles, ... The attractions are aimed at children from small to about 12 years old. You can join the attractions as an adult.

Le parc en globalité est très bien, super expérience pour les enfants de 3 à 10 ans. En revanche quand on regarde en détail on voit des petits défauts apparaître par ci par là. Le manège est dans un état un peu triste, il y a pas mal de structures qui sont vieillissantes dans le parc, les Tacos ont des petits bobos qui mériteraient d'être repeints. Tout de même je recommande nous avons passés une excellente journée.(Translated by Google)The park overall is very good, great experience for children aged 3 to 10. On the other hand, when we look in detail we see small defects appearing here and there. The ride is in a bit of a sad state, there are quite a few structures that are aging in the park, the Tacos have little ailments that deserve to be repainted. All the same I recommend we had an excellent day.

Quite a lot to see, the museum is lovely too, attractions and decent food, a great day trip.

Un très beau Zoom, nous sommes plutôt proche des animaux, donc les enfants sont contents.Beaucoup de variétés, le parc est agréable.Par contre au niveau des attractions pas grand chose, beaucoup de temps de queue en pleins cagnards pour pas grand chose.En tout cas je dirais que c'est un beau Zoom, mais un parc plutôt pour les très jeunes enfants.Au-dessus de 6 ans ... Il n'y a pas suffisamment d'attractions intéressantes.Nous sommes tôt dans la saison, donc ils n'ont peut-être pas eu beaucoup de temps pour s'organiser, mais pas grand chose pour les stands de glaces, boissons,...40 min pour un café c'est bien Bien trop long.Personnel sympa et bosseur.On voit que les animaux sont bien traités.(Translated by Google)A very nice Zoom, we are quite close to the animals, so the children are happy.Lots of varieties, the park is pleasant.On the other hand, in terms of attractions, not much, a lot of time in queues in the middle of the dodgers for not much.In any case I would say that it is a nice Zoom, but a park more for very young children.Above 6 years old... There are not enough interesting attractions.It's early in the season, so they may not have had much time to organize, but not much for ice cream stands, drinks,...40 minutes for a coffee is way too long.Friendly and hardworking staff.We see that the animals are well treated.

Wonderful and amazing placeThis park is divided into 3 partsZooWater gamesGames for kids

Un parc très bien entretenu, ombragé, les animaux ont bien plu à notre petite fille de 3 ans. À cette époque de l'année,(12 avril, hors vacances scolaires) les attractions étaient fermées, mais nous ne nous sommes pas ennuyés. Petit coup de coeur pour les animaux de la ferme, accessibles pour les enfants, c'est génial !. Visite du musée, très bien tenu. Les employés sont cordiaux.(Translated by Google)A very well maintained, shaded park, the animals really pleased our 3 year old granddaughter. At this time of year (April 12, excluding school holidays) the attractions were closed, but we were not bored. Little crush on farm animals, accessible for children, it's great!. Visit the museum, very well kept. The employees are cordial.

I really liked it, There were a lot of animals and beautiful animals, from all the globe. But i think they could and can add more fun zones.

Je recommande en famille, idéal pour les enfants avec plusieurs manèges accessibles dès le plus jeune âge. (sans frais supplémentaires)Parc gratuit pour les moins de 3 ansBeaucoup d'animaux différents et possible de les voir de très prèsBref si vous voulez passer une belle journée, allez-y 😃(Translated by Google)I recommend as a family, ideal for children with several rides accessible from a young age. (no additional cost)Free park for children under 3 years oldLots of different animals and possible to see them up closeIn short, if you want to have a nice day, go for it 😃

Very nice zoo with a lot to see. The attractions are also great with young kids. Friendly staff. We'll come back.

Un très bon endroit pour passer un moment détente en famille.Météo moyenne lors de notre visite (24 mars 2024) mais, l'avantage, c'est qu'il n'y avait pas trop de monde.Tout le personnel est souriant et sympathique et les animaux sont bien traités si on fait abstraction du côté "détention". Je pense qu'il faut voir ces endroits (parcs zoologiques) comme des sanctuaires ou des lieux éducatifs pour nos enfants.En tout cas, on a passé une très bon moment. Merci au personnel du parc.Bref, je recommande.(Translated by Google)A very good place to spend some relaxing time with the family.Average weather during our visit (March 24, 2024) but the advantage was that there were not too many people.All the staff are smiling and friendly and the animals are well treated if we ignore the “detention” side. I think we need to see these places (zoological parks) as sanctuaries or educational places for our children.In any case, we had a great time. Thanks to the park staff.In short, I recommend.

Learn about the history of monarchs who resided here or see how the building was constructed and adjusted over the years. This really is the crowning jewel of any visit to Bourg-en-Bresse. A must visit.

Eine sehr eindrucksvolle Monastir. Von außen wie von innen. Zuerst dachte ich es gäbe nicht viel zu sehen- weit gefehlt. Sehr beeindruckende Arbeiten in Stein und Holz. Im oberen Teil befindet sich eine große Sammlung von Gemälden und die Geschichte der Frau, welche die Monastir in Auftrag gegeben hat, wird erzählt. Man sollte sich Zeit nehmen um alles in Ruhe zu besichtigen. Rund um die Monastir gibt es ausreichend Parkplätze die kostenlos zur Verfügung stehen.(Translated by Google)A very impressive monastery. From the outside as well as from the inside. At first I thought there wasn't much to see - far from it. Very impressive work in stone and wood. In the upper part there is a large collection of paintings and the story of the woman who commissioned the Monastir is told. You should take your time to see everything in peace. There are plenty of free parking spaces around the Monastir.

Amazing place, exceptionally preserved and restored. Not to miss if you are in the area and if you are a minimum sensitive to old church architecture and all associated arts, history and... just beauty!

A jewel of early 16th century religious architecture, the stone and wood carving inside are breathtaking, as are the stain glass windows. Not the most obvious corner of France to visit, but if you are in Bresse it is worth taking an hour or two to visit this impressive monastery and it small museum.

Das Kloster Brou, eine herausragende Sehenswürdigkeit in Bourg-en-Bresse, Frankreich, wurde im 16. Jahrhundert von Margarete von Österreich in Auftrag gegeben.

Un loc de poveste !!!Merită din plin să vi și să vizitezi asa locuri pline de istorie !!!Recomand !!!(Translated by Google)A story place!!!It is well worth coming and visiting such places full of history!!!I recommend!!!

Took my breath away. The artisitic detail on the choir area, the beautiful stained glass windows (whose features included "textured" glass, making the clothes look like velevet or silk!), and the prominent paintings by famous artists, were all so fantastic. This place will delight and surprise any visitor.

Very nice worth a visit

A fascinating, breathtaking place to visit.

Not to be missed in the region, with the very knowledgeable guide. Thanks!

This was a gorgeous place to walk around in. We spent about an hour and a half there.
