40 Best Stops Between Newquay and Strasbourg (2024)

6 lists

Excellent views. Not enough seating in bar area and very expensive. £15 for a bowl of nuts, crisps and 2 soft drinks. Very nice friendly chatty staff. Can spend as long as you want there. Cold at the very top, could do woth outdoor heating maybe.

Extremely beautiful view. Very remarkable tower. Not cheap but for me it was worth every penny. I would love to have a tour through the whole building.....

A great experience, there are two levels to view from, one internal and one external. The external platform is completely enclosed with high windows but no ceiling, it was a bit chilly as there is quite a bit of wind at that height.We spoke at length with Michael, who is one of the team there to assist. He was very knowledgeable about points of interest that you can see from The Shard, and where the ones are that you can't see easily.It is fairly expensive but worth it, as you can't get these views anywhere else. You can stay for hours if you want, but be prepared to pay high prices for drinks. The co*cktails were nice but pricey, up to £20. There was also an optional service charge of £1.75 added to the price for making two co*cktails, I couldn't see an obvious way to cancel the charge, so I just paid it. That was my only negative, really.I would highly recommend this experience, the views of London from The Shard are second to none.

The view is perfect, probably best in London and one class better than Sky Garden. However, in contrast to Sky Garden, you have to pay to go up and the drinks are quite of higher price (20ish per drink). Also its a bit difficult to take good pictures because of double glass and dirty glass. Still an amazing view though!

My 5-star experience with the 'View from the Shard' began even before I visited the place!I booked from their website for the 5pm slot with the idea of watching the sunset from the Shard. After paying, I realised I may not be able to make it as I had also booked a West end show.Next morning, I called their customer service and they immediately changed my date without any charge.The views are obviously spectacular, as long as you get clear skies. We got that as you can see from the photos.Their photo package of £25 is excellent value. I highly recommend it. You get a beautiful album plus link to download.

The view from shard is like a dream. Even in the night time. People can see the half of the city from here. The last floor for the visitors is floor 72. You can have some snacks and drinks in the top as they have bars and a cafe and you will get a security cheak before get in which is same as a airport cheaks. So be prepared to take off your belt and jacket. You can enjoy some snowfall every 15 minutes on the top floor. Its not real though but it gives you a great feel.

You have amazing views of the city from top of the tower (Floor 63). The is also a bar at the top to enjoy some drinks and have a wonderful time. The queues are well managed. I also liked the photography service that they offer (although a bit expensive for the album). Wonderful memories and a collection of photographs with you at different locations and scenarios in the Shard. You can pick them up on your way down at the exit. No long waiting times. Make sure to book your slot online before visiting. Friendly staff.

This place is so well run.. polite staff too. The views really are amazing.. We treated ourselves to a co*cktail and enjoyed the show. Worth the admission price.

Excellent loved it. Great experience. Very windy in the open air part wrap up! Get a map of the buildings so you can identify each side of London.

Had a great time here. Very impressive and beautiful views of London. The co*cktails were lovely too. Would highly recommended this experience.

DO this NOT the eye, it is a more pleasant experience. Very quick que, advice do not choose a beverage until you go to the top. The choices are vast and the champagne is the same cost. That you photos with the guide. You go up 2 different elevators. First you go up 33 floors then up to 68. To reach the top you climd up and few flights or small elevator. There are maybe 5 bars on those floors total. The co*cktails are fantastic, enjoy on whole at the top.

Really good views of London from the top, 2 different viewing platforms, the last one is a few staircases further up. Lift up is really quick 3rd fastest in the UK. Was busy over the weekend, A bar at each viewing deck offering alcoholic and hot drinks too, however few seats or tables. Saying that it's worth the experience. We spent about 45 minutes overall.

Truly amazing experience. But don't forget to make a reservation in advance (for a fee). Definitely worth it. On the top you can order a drink and enjoy your 360 degree view with a bubbles. I would also like to appreciate the staff because they were really nice and willingly took us some nice photos.

Awesome experience. We had to book our visit online in advance to use our City pass. Slots are getting booked fast. Walking distance from Tower of London and London Bridge. We got free digital pictures on the way to the elevator (downloaded with a code), lots of souvenirs and a beautiful view of the city!!!

Beautiful from the top and lovely staff work there however extremely overpriced compared to other European cities. It costs around €14 to get a city view in Brussels or Munich above those cities. Totally overrated expereince and over in less than 30 minutes.

Very nice views of London for 14 miles in every direction. Reasonable price when you consider you can't otherwise get those views without a helicopter. Elevators are extremely fast and there's plenty of room to see once you're up at the viewing deck. Friendly people working there makes the experience more enjoyable, too.

amazing views and experience, had to wait a little bit but nothing drastic. definitely a must see/do place!

We had a wonderful time. All the staff were very nice and welcoming.We learned so much from Chris, what a fantastic expert. His tour was amazing and very engaging.My husband and I definitely recommend this as a great day out.

Good experience and good high attitude point of view of London.A bit of a shame that the observation area is a little obstructed by the numerous window walls.The bar area is also very popular, which makes it a little complicated to be able to sit quietly around the few tables with chairs available.

This is the best 360 high elevation view in London. We went just before sundown so we could get views of both daytime and nighttime London. The pictures come out better in the daytime because there is a quite a bit of glare from the inside lights at night (unless you bring a towel or shade or something to put over your camera).You can see the Tower Bridge really well, and a great arial views of The Tower of London, HMS Belfast and River Thames. It also gives a bit of perspective as well on how truly large the metropolitan area of London is.However, the view from there at night is tough to beat. Everything is sparkling with lights and it's just so cool.They have some seating, but it is super limited, and they do not like if you sit on the ground (we saw some people told to get up). There is a bar, with some pastries and small bites as well.There is also another outside viewing area 3 floors above the inside one, but the views are similar and it still has glass all around, so the glare is still there in the night pics. There were a lot less people up on this deck though.I really enjoy the high elevation views of cities I visit, so I always go when there is one. This ranks a little better than average I would say, but not as large or informational as some of the other cities I've been to.

This was an amazing experience. The views are stunning from both the 69th & 72nd floor.We entered the shard just before dusk, and stayed until it was dark, London looks so different at night.We had a quick tour f the views from Zia who was very entertaining and informative.Coffee and cake is no more expensive than a Costa.Thoroughly recommend doing this.

The tallest building in London and a must visit place if you are around town. A london pass can get you access to this location and pre booking is required. The view deck floor has a bar and drinks/food for you to enjoy and if you reach the place around sun down the view becomes spectacular on a whole different level. One of the best places I have ever been to.

Las vistas son impresionantes. Está incluido en la London Pass pero se debe reservar antes el día y la hora. En las cajas hay que mostar la reserva y te escanean el QR de la London Pass. Antes de entrar hay que pasar un control de seguridad y pasar los bolsos por un escaner. En el mirador hay una pequeña barra de bar en donde sirven diferentes cócteles, cervezas, vino, helados...Nosotros fuimos a última hora para ver la puesta de sol y se les habían acabado los cócteles. Un punto negativo es que en mayo el mirador cierra a las 20:00 horas por lo que no tienes vistas de la ciudad por la noche.(Translated by Google)The views are stunning. It is included in the London Pass but the day and time must be reserved in advance. At the checkout you have to show your reservation and they scan the London Pass QR. Before entering you must pass a security check and put your bags through a scanner. At the viewpoint there is a small bar where they serve different co*cktails, beers, wine, ice cream...We went at the last minute to see the sunset and they had run out of co*cktails. A negative point is that in May the viewpoint closes at 8:00 p.m. so you do not have views of the city at night.

The View from The Shard is one of a kind and breathtaking. A full 360 view of London, the tallest building with a viewing platform.The shard also has three restaurants in it that you can RSVP. I highly recommend it.Even if you’re not down to eat at any of the restaurants at the very top You can RSVP a small table and get co*cktails, snacks, desserts, pastries, and more.In the evening they will also have performance artist like a singer or pianist.My boyfriend and I stayed up there for a few hours. Just enjoying the lovely view, this is a must see attractions in London.

The Shard is without a doubt one of the most striking buildings in London - towering over the city. I’ve been to several restaurants in The Shard before, but one sunny Sunday I decided to go as far as I can to the top of The Shard (without being a window cleaner!).The entry experience is swift and efficient, and there was hardly any wait at all. Definitely pre-book your tickets as it’s much quicker. You’re soon taken into the lifts that whizz you up to the top of the building at insane speeds (6 metres a second apparently!).The view from the top is obviously spectacular, as you can see for miles in every direction. All of London is spread out before you, with nothing obstructing your view. You can wander around at your own pace, taking in the sights.There’s a regular talk from staff that discusses The Shard, the history and some interesting facts too. It’s definitely worthwhile catching the talk if you can as it’s included in the price of the ticket.There are 2 bars at the top, so you can get a drink to enjoy alongside the view, and they were actually surprisingly well priced considering the location.Overall, I throughly recommend a visit to The View from The Shard. It gives you unparalleled views of the city, and it’s great to see such an iconic building from new angles too. It might not be the cheapest viewing experience in London, but it’s definitely worth the price.

Experiencing The Shard with my partner elevated the visit to a whole new level. The breathtaking views became even more special when shared with someone I care about. The intimate setting allowed us to appreciate London's beauty together, creating memories that will undoubtedly last a lifetime. The seamless organization and friendly staff made the visit enjoyable, and the modern ambiance added a touch of romance to the entire experience. The Shard is not just a remarkable structure; it's a perfect destination for couples seeking a unique and enchanting escape above the bustling city.

A very nice experience, shame the view was not far reaching on my trip, but the talk from two chaos was entertaining and interesting. Drinks were extremely dear as one might expect.

Great view, great talk from Zia one of the guides. Terrible shop, no level of service, empty shelves, poor range. If you can skip the photo op at the entrance, you'll get in quicker.

The view from the shard was awesome. We booked online via the GoCity app then took the train there. From the train station, we walked right in to the front entrance.It was extremely organized and the staff guided you an along so there was no question where you needed to go.The view was incredible and there was food and drinks available to purchase at the top.I’d recommend a visit

wonderful evening. co*cktails are great. not cheap, but something you will remember for the rest of your life

Great day out, lots of history and beautiful views of the castle and Tower Bridge and a nice cafe inside. You can follow a guided tour or purchase an audio guide, though neither is particularly needed as there is plenty of information displayed in all parts of the castle. Not really suitable for buggies or wheelchairs as there is lots of stair climbing involved.

Admission was a little steep but totally worth it. We paid under £30 per person, but it varies by date and what website you purchase through. We bought tickets in person and not in advance.As soon as we walked in there was a beefeater starting a complimentary tour. He was very funny and informative, and explain the history of the castle and the surrounding areas with a lot of detail given to the history of executions here.There is also an audio tour available at an additional cost.We left his tour to go explore by ourselves and we saw the king's Chambers which were fascinating and included a marker in the chapel where King Henry VI was assassinated. Awesome. There were active guards marching around who still live inside the castle.Actors were doing a play in the courtyard by the White Tower. There were plenty of bathrooms and a couple of cool gift shops.You could easily spend three or more hours here.As with most attractions in the city, parking could be a problem but we did not have a car.

Amazing! The Beefeater was just brilliant. Everything about this place was perfect. Amazing day out with tons of history and stories. All ages will enjoy this place.I was on a company excursion, so I can’t tell you about waiting times etc.

It was a wonderful experience and a great place to visit. The history of the place is amazing. It is advisable to take the guided tour as the guide really knows his stuff and gives you some great insights into the history of the place and also gives good advice on what to visit next as the place is a really big place. You really need at least 4 to 5 hours to see the place properly and to learn about the history of the place and to take some lovely pictures. Well worth a visit.

A great place to come and and explore some of the history of London. Came here on a flying visit so didn't get a lot of time for a detailed visit although I would highly recommend. There's lots of interesting facts as you work your way around the map given to you as well you order yours tickets at the office. The crown jewels is another area definitely worth a visit although no photos are allowed to be taken here. Will definitely come back again for a more detailed visit.

Fascinating history, guided tours are amazing and definitely worth while so you can learn more about what you are looking at. Lots of information around the tower though. Make sure you look at the map so you don't miss any sections as it can get quite confusing as to where you've been. The gift shop is full of lovely souvenirs.

Absolutely worth a visit make sure you’ve got the legs for it there’s a lot of walking to do. We did the 45 minute tour guide well worth it. Saw the guards and importantly visited the white tower and the Crown Jewels. Unfortunately we got there later than expected and then found out the tower closed at 16:30. If you haven’t been go visit it is a must see my 9 year immensely enjoyed it.

This excursion was fantastic! The Expedia tickets were effortlessly accessible on my mobile phone. The tour provided both entertainment and historical information. There's an abundance of sights to explore, making it worth spending a few hours. The queues moved swiftly, and the attractions were clearly signposted. Ample restrooms and stroller parking. It's an incredible activity and an absolute must-do.

We spent six hours here and easily could have spent six more. So much to see and do. Even the cafe was good, with an excellent array of food choices. The cakes were fantastic. The white tower was amazing with the armor and weapons collections. The Crown Jewels are simply breathtaking. I advise to get your entry tickets for first thing in the morning. Once past security make your way directly to the Crown Jewel display. If you wait until later in the day you will be in long lines that can take hours and…. Once inside it can be packed. However you do it…. It is worth it. The only drawback is that photos are not allowed in the Crown Jewel area.

A very interesting place to visit. the place is steeped in history. We all read about it in textbooks and saw it in movies. Incredible feeling. The treasure chest is simply amazing. Crown of the Queen! Cool! Very cool staff. And these crows)))) I recommend without hesitation! Use the audio guide.

A must see for any London travelers interested in its rich history. Enjoy this amazing castle and all of its nooks of deep history. There are a lot of steps so keep this in mind. It's easy to get tickets and although there are a lot of people, it's easy to navigate throughout. Tons of amazing photo opportunities. Have fun!

This is a beautiful site to see. This is where the Crown Jewels are held and was a big fortress!! I mostly came here just to see the Crown Jewels, even though some of them were out due to the Coronation of Charles III, but this place was an amazing place to visit. But this use to be, and still is, a military fortress. A little fun fact, during WWI, the Tower of London did military training, even though it was still open to the public visiting the place. I just find that extremely interesting.The Tower of London is one staple of London history, British history, and Royal history. The The Royal Family has their Crowned Jewels here where you can see them on display. Dating back to 1066, but made famous by William I (William the Conqueror) when he moved here in 1078. Kings William I (William the Conqueror), King Henry III, and King Richard I were living here at one point all adding to the historical site. The Tower of London has been a fortress for the majority of its time, but I found interesting is that it was used as a prison until WWII, with soldiers training here with the prisoners on a different side of the site. You can go see the Crowned Jewels here, which were amazing to see (there's no photography while seeing the Crowned Jewels). I truly enjoy walking the grounds here and seeing some of the Crowned Jewels the British Royal Family has to offer.

One of the main tourist attractions. We were here on a weekday in September. Although it was quite busy, there were no queues and it didn’t feel crowded. Extensive collection of weapons and armor, and interesting history of the place. The animal statues made of wire are awesome!

Amazing tourist attraction of this wonderful place,it is one of the most visited places nowadays since the Royal Jewels are guarded here. The Royal jewels are amazingly displayed, and the history of them is well explained all along the place. Big queue for the Crown Jewels once you got inside the Tower, but well worth the wait. I suggest everything try to come early in the morning around the 8:30 slot. It will not be crowded at that time. There are lots of things to see inside the tower. The Cafe inside is a great place to take relief. The exit is beside the Thames with awesome views of Tower Bridge.We thought it will take 2-3 hours but we spend almost 5 hrs. The fortress is maintained properly. The audio guide helps you a lot when you are in. The Ammunition department is amazing.I will definitely come back to visit them again whenever possible.

Fantastic history. Beef eaters were brilliant at informing us of the history of the place. He made it so entertaining. Made us laugh.There are many stairs to climb.Looking at the beautiful crowns and museums to walk around were educational.Worth visiting.

A wonderful place to visit when you are in London. It covers a little bit of the history of the city, military, history, and a unique look at the growth of the monarchy throughout history, including viewings, and tours of the royal jewels. There is a lot of information about the architecture of the building, and the views are amazing. I would highly recommend it to people and families.

Breathtaking scenery, amazing architecture. Get there early on the weekend because it gets very busy, especially if the weather is favorable. We were very fortunate with the sun being out! Apparently you're not supposed to take pictures of the crown jewels, but they didn't make me delete them thankfully!!

Definitely a must see! Our guide Simon was fantastic and brought so much energy! I loved learning about the history of the towers and getting to walk inside them. The line for the Crown Jewels was insanely long, so we skipped seeing them. We were there around lunch time on a week day in the summer.

Amazing place to visit! We had recently come from Ireland and to hear the different pieces of British and Irish history intertwine was really neat! I highly recommend paying the extra bit for the audio tour once you get inside. It helps give you a little bit extra that you can’t get from just reading all the signs. I also recommend getting there before noon so you have enough time to see everything!

It is a very cool experience. You get to step back in time, seeing things from a long time ago. There is a lot of history and information to read and take in, so many cool things.I would recommend buying tickets in advance for 9am. I was dropped off at about 8:05 and was able to get some good pictures of the exterior of the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge. There are a few coffee shops around, so you can grab some coffee before the line opens. I got in line at about 8:30 and was towards the front.I would recommend going to the Crown Jewels first as you will have a bit of space before the crowds decend on the attraction and there is a long wait. Even if you have a voucher for a guide book, I would get it after.If you have a voucher for a guide book, the place is on the right hand side of the building, the audio guides are on the left. So, if there is a huge line on the left, don't worry, you can slip in and get the book. The books are in several languages, and there is a option for the kids book.

Hadn't been in around 20 years, was pleasantly surprised that there were many activities for both children and adults. The crown jewels exhibition is better than I remembered. Would recommend spending around 4h here in total.

If you visit London, you cannot say that you have been there if you have not visited the Tower of London. This is a wonderful fortress close of the Thames River, very well conserved, and has beautiful inner views. It is highly recommended to buy the tickets online because there are long lines of people waiting to buy tickets. I loved the place and highly recommend it.

A great day out. Its worth getting there for opening and going straight to see the Crown jewels. That way there will be minimal queues and you may get to spend longer in the crowns room than you would later on.The rest of the Tower is great and an amazing deep dive in the English history. You really should go at least once in your life.If you do everything it’s easily a whole day.

The Beefeater was an amazing host and we learned so much about this site. The Crown Jewels were fascinating and the structures themselves were absolutely stunning. Get the tour. Completely worth the fee. The views of the city skyline from this site alone are worth the price of admission.

My wife and I enjoyed this a lot. 10/10. They have concessions, and you are able to see the Crown Jewels, but you can't take pictures in those rooms. You can take pictures everywhere else. You can walk to the Tower Bridge to enjoy that also.

Very enjoyable day out with lots of interesting facts and history about the people who lived - and died - there. Well worth the ticket price. Downside: no restaurant or cafe, only food and drink kiosks with outside seating

I came for my second visit in a little under 50 years! I was in awe of the architecture of the building and at how deceivingly big it was inside. I came along with a local community group and we took a tour with Wayne, a resident Beefeater. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour! After eating our packed lunch, we decided to take a look at the crown jewels. The queue was quite long but it moved pretty fast. As we were waiting, we were greeted with the amazing views around the tower grounds. It was a tad cold and windy but I'm sure it's beautiful in the summer.Going in to see the crown jewels, I was a little disappointed at the way it was displayed. It was quite dark and sparse inside. The crowns themselves were amazing, such beautiful jewels.I would have liked to take a bit more of a trip around the other areas but on a quieter day. That's the only thing I don't enjoy, too many people around.

Fantastic place with lots of interesting history to absorb. You can easily spend 3-4 hours. Well presented and organised. We arrived early to avoid the queues which was well worth it. Same again once we were in to see the Crown Jewels …which are amazing!!!! One of our top things to visit when in London.

Very very busy and beefeater guide was excellent even though there were hundreds in his tour. Learned such a lot from him. Queue long to see Crown Jewels but moves fast. Worth a visit as they are spectacular. My grown up daughter is fascinated by the ravens and she was introduced to the keeper of the ravens who kindly allowed her onto the forbidden green and take a raven for a walk!!!!! Made her day . Its strange what makes a sensible grown up woman's day!!!!!! My American visitors were just in awe about the age of everything and they thoroughly enjoyed their day too.

Cool experience.Love the history and architecture.Make sure to get skip the line tics for the Crown Jewels or else expect a loooong wait time.You may want a private tour guide as the tour guides used within the Tower of London have many followers and did not speak loud enough for everyone to hear.

Really enjoyed visiting the Tower of London. I visited with my daughters year as a school trip, so unfortunately our look around was a lot more rushed than I would have liked, but loved what I saw.Seeing the armor for the kings & horses, the weaponry & where torturing happened was great. Walking around the site where Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, Jane Boleyn, Lady Jane Grey & others were executed & seeing the Traitors Gate where people would have come into the grounds & the towers where they would have been kept was brilliant. Seeing the Crown Jewels was amazing. They were so beautiful. The craftsmanship of the clothing, armour, jewelry, flags & tapestries was breathtaking. Seeing the guards on patrol was awesome & there are lots of people around who you can talk to and ask about the Tower to get more of a historical experience. There's an interactive room where you can get involved with things in there which was great and the chapel was beautiful.There are some steep stairs and spiral staircases in places which some might find difficult, but all-in-all I really had a great time. Seeing as our visit was hugely restricted due to it being a school trip, I'd love to give back with my family for a whole day.

This is a great place to visit on a first London trip. The history is amazing and everything is very well presented and maintained. It was designed to be an important royal fortress, palace, and prison. It has also been home to the Royal Armouries

Wow, the Tower of London was even more incredible than I imagined! From the moment I walked through the gates, I felt transported back in time. The Yeoman Warders were fantastic storytellers, bringing the castle's rich history to life with humor and enthusiasm.The Crown Jewels were, of course, a highlight – it's hard to believe they're real! But I also loved exploring the White Tower, wandering the medieval walls, and even spotting a few ravens (those cheeky birds!).Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a unique London experience, the Tower of London is a must-see. Just be prepared to be amazed!Tips for your visit:* Get your tickets online beforehand to skip the queues, especially during peak season.* Take advantage of the free Yeoman Warder tours – they're the best way to learn about the castle's secrets.* Allow plenty of time to explore – there's so much to see and do.* Wear comfortable shoes – you'll be doing a lot of walking.I hope this helps! Have a fantastic time at the Tower of London!

Buy tickets online and get a better price and the time you want. Spots sell out early. Would highly recommend going to the tower if in London. Great piece of history and architecture. Tour is really well done and lines move along fairly quickly.

Enjoyed my visit to the Tower of London. We did not have a long wait to see the Crown Jewels. Even though I have limited mobility I still enjoyed walking around the grounds; seeing the Crown Jewels and walking around the ground floor of some of the towers and generally just absorbing the hundreds of years of history at the Tower.

Good one to visit castle and London Bridge. Lot of restaurants outside the castle. Can spend more than a hour. You need to get ticket to go inside castle & bridge.But outside view of castle and bridge also very nice and surrounded with lots of restaurants, no ticket required for outside viewing.

Firstly, although the staff were great at sorting me out when I didn't have a paper ticket and just one on my phone, it is not good that paper tickets are needed (and they printed mine out). In today's age and ecological crisis, paper should not be needed. They need to sort that.There is no wheelchair access that I could see. Lots of stairs both up and down so be aware! There's also not a huge amount to see in the towers themselves. Considering this is not a free attraction, I would expect more.Having said that, DO go to the engine rooms. That was excellent and informative. Well worth the trip.Overall, just about worth it for the price. Don't make it your big trip of the day though. It's fun but short.

“Visiting Tower Bridge in London was an absolute delight! From the moment I set foot on this iconic landmark, I was captivated by its grandeur and historical significance. The majestic structure, with its towering towers and intricate Victorian architecture, truly exemplifies the architectural marvels of the past.As I strolled along the high-level walkways, I was treated to breathtaking panoramic views of the River Thames and the cityscape beyond. The glass floors added an exhilarating touch, allowing me to marvel at the bustling traffic passing below my feet. It was an experience that made me feel both connected to the city’s vibrant energy and humbled by its rich history.Inside the bridge’s exhibition, I was immersed in its fascinating story through interactive displays and informative exhibits. Learning about the construction and engineering feats behind Tower Bridge deepened my appreciation for this iconic landmark. The highlight, of course, was witnessing the bridge open up to let a passing ship through—an awe-inspiring moment that reminded me of its vital role in facilitating maritime trade.The staff at Tower Bridge were friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to answer questions and provide insights into its heritage. Their passion for the bridge’s legacy was evident, making the visit even more enjoyable.Overall, my visit to Tower Bridge was an unforgettable experience. It’s a must-see attraction for anyone visiting London, offering a perfect blend of history, architecture, and breathtaking views. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or simply seeking a memorable experience, Tower Bridge will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.”I hope you find this review helpful!

It's a must visit historic place in the centre of London. Very old and Iconic place. The beauty of the bridge can be seen from long distance. I feel everyone should get a ticket and must see the engine room along with the history of the tower from day one. There is a lot of information provided at the top of the bridge. When you walk on the glass way you will definitely get goosebumps. The place is always crowded so when you visit please make sure you have done the advance tickets booking as on arrival the queue will be quite long and you will end up waiting in line for an hour or more. If you want to take more pics and make reels better come early in the morning so it will be very less crowded. When you go inside the tower at multiple places washrooms are available. In short I must visit the place.

Undoubtedly a main photo spot in London, Tower Bridge stands as one of the city's most iconic landmarks, attracting visitors from across the globe. Its majestic structure, flanked by the iconic towers, creates an unforgettable backdrop for photographs. As one of the biggest attractions in London and a globally recognized symbol, it offers countless picture-perfect spots, whether capturing its silhouette against the skyline, witnessing its mesmerizing evening illumination, or simply savoring the grandeur of this architectural gem. With its remarkable history, striking design, and ample photo opportunities, Tower Bridge rightfully stands among the world's most celebrated and photographed attractions

Tower Bridge, standing just beyond the Tower of London, is more than just a bridge; it’s a journey through London’s heart. A short stroll across this iconic structure offers breathtaking views (yes, in a good way; enter Seinfeld reference) and a sense of history.Crossing over the Thames, you’ll find yourself on a scenic walkway, a perfect vantage point for soaking in panoramic sights. From here, the Tower of London looms impressively, while the London Bridge and the sprawling cityscape stretch out beyond.It’s a spot where the beauty of London is seen and felt. Tower Bridge is a inexpensive gateway to some of the most picturesque views.

Beautiful view of the bridge at night, really love it. Walk around the city and took a lot of pictures. The bridge is full with lighting and you can see it from the distance. Was very keen to visit it and it is a must visit attraction. The weather was really nice at night and lots of tourists were there.

An incredible museum that teaches and reaches all ages. Elevator available, kids stamp book/age appropriate info board to keep them engaged. Wonderful staff from ticketing to exit. Amazing views and picture opportunities. Wonderful facts and info throughout. Certainly worth a visit.

It was a great experience to enter the Tower Bridge towers, go up and down the stairs and especially walk the two walkways above street & river level. The glass floors were really cool. They don't extend across all the way but only in the middle of both walks, and for people who don't like it there is a wooden walkway to the side so this is suitable even for the less daring. You get a great panorama from up there. The engine rooms also come with the ticket & you get to see how the bridge was operated in steam engine time.

The Tower Bridge. Now while there’s no cost to cross the bridge I would highly recommend purchasing tickets to go across up top. It’s well worth the steps. If you need to take a lift one is available but seeing the staircases, and all the factual, historical information they give you on the way up makes it all the more worth it.We bought tickets for 13.30 and arrived a bit early, and the staff didn’t mind us getting in the queue. It was a bit long but moved very quickly, again you could take the lift or the stairs we chose the stairs (we were told there’s somewhere around 260 of them). As you walk up the stairs there are posts and placards that tell you all sorts of facts regarding the material that went into the bridge and other fascinating details. The wood creaking stairs only adds to the experience. Once at the top there’s a spot to rest even before going to the upper bridges.You may think the entire upper bridge is “glass bottom” it isn’t, but each side does have a small section where if not to crowded you can even lie down and take a photo. You’ll walk all the way across one, down the other and turn around where then you can decide you next move.Once down the stairs they send you off to the Engine Room which is also included and the gift shop. This alone has been such a worth while part of our visit, I would highly recommend it.

This review is for the paid attraction to go to the top:Great view on one side. Tickets are much cheaper compared to other attractions, but that's not an excuse to throw in so many people into each batch. If the top was a bit less crowded, it would've been great.

Like many people I was also confused that this the London Bridge BUT when I visited I came to know that this is Tower Bridge. A marvel, gorgeous structure over the river Thames. The view is only good if you see it from a far distance. If the weather is good, you can walk across the bridge. There is a ticket to go up and if you are really interested to more about this deeply.

Another must visit in London. The most beautiful bridge in London I would say. Lovely pics from every angle.Very busy place however you can do like we did and go very early to get pictures without hundreds of people behind us.We had blue sky which made our visit a bit better despite the cold weather.Be careful of people not following the signs which tell you which way to walk, a shame because it would make the crossing smoother.

Visited the iconic London Tower Bridge and was utterly captivated by its timeless elegance. The intricate architecture tells a story of history and craftsmanship that leaves you in awe. Whether you walk across during the day, with the city bustling around you, or experience the magical lights at night, every moment is a feast for the senses.The bridge not only offers spectacular panoramic views of London but also serves as a testament to the city's rich heritage. It's a photographer's paradise—every angle is postcard-worthy.Surrounded by charming cafes and the serene flow of the river, the atmosphere is simply enchanting. London Tower Bridge isn't just a structure; it's a journey through time and a must-visit for anyone seeking a touch of magic in the heart of the city.

It’s one of the two iconic images everyone thinks of when they think of London, so of course you have to go see it when in London. We didn’t go into any of the special rooms or anything, we just took pictures and crossed the bridge itself. The shop at the end on the South bank was a bit simple with lots of generic London-themed souvenirs and nothing special. Definitely cross it if you can, but be prepared for the crowds of people with the same thoughts. Pictures of the bridge from the South-West side are best to avoid lots of the big skyscrapers in the background.

Absolutely gorgeous! I’ve seen photos many times before but they don’t do this iconic landmark justice. It’s so much more beautiful and interesting in person. You can easily access the bridge to walk it from around the Tower of London so if you are visiting there, make sure to put the Tower Bridge on your list of attractions to see. Oh and you can (for a separate paid ticket) around around 13 or £14 go into the Towers and climb to the top.

Fabulous views and reasonably priced. The mirror above the glass floor was a newer addition I hadn't seen before. Although taking the lift would have been easier we enjoyed the climbing the steps up reading facts along the way, it made the top a treat. Photos from the top came out really well 👍Small children enjoyed the engine and pump room, it is very well restored.

The beautiful tower bridge. (Tourists often confuse this to be the London bridge.)Well this is a bridge too, and check out the pictures to see how amazing it looks when a big ship passes and the bridge is open. This is one of a kind bridge. To know more about its construction do visit inside the tower bridge. It’s amazing to see vehicles crossing under you.Great tourist spot , walk the bridge to see it in detail. It’s a must do in London!

It’s a very nice touristic place.. there are restaurants near by where you can also enjoy the view.. we took a walk on the bridge. If you want to walk on the top where there see through glass there is a payment of either 13 or 20 pounds but the tower itself is closed you can just walk along the corridor from one side to the other. Walking down though is free and it’s a must see when you visit London

This historic gem located in the heart of London is an absolute must-see. It's an iconic testament to the city's rich history, standing proudly as a symbol of its heritage.I highly recommend getting a ticket that includes a visit to the engine room and a journey through the tower's captivating history from its inception. The wealth of information provided at the top of the bridge offers a deep dive into its past, enriching your experience.Walking on the glass pathway is an unforgettable thrill, sending shivers down your spine as you take in the breathtaking views. It's important to note that this place is always bustling with visitors. To make the most of your visit, I strongly advise booking your tickets in advance. Arriving without pre-booked tickets might result in lengthy queues, which could mean waiting for an hour or even longer.For those seeking the perfect photo opportunities or aiming to capture stunning reels, consider arriving early in the morning when the crowds are thinner. Additionally, you'll find conveniently located washrooms at various spots within the tower, ensuring a comfortable visit.

Such a great iconic building to see with your own eyes. So much detail on the buildings. Awesome views all around. Great gift shop close by. Nice walk over the bridge towards the tower of London.

We visited London on a family trip and visited here. The scene of the bridge opening was awe-inspiring. It was amazing to actually see a scene that I had only seen on TV. Even when viewed from various angles, you can feel its diverse charm. I haven't been there at night yet, but I would like to visit at night if I get the chance.

Good tour. I especially enjoyed seeing the engine rooms. If you are using the London City Pass, note that you have to stand in line as if you don't have tickets and will have the lowest priority to enter, behind school tours and those that made time reservations, which isn't possible with the City Pass.

An excellent experience to walk over Tower Bridge. The glass panels are a big attraction, so be prepared for people lying on top of them! The photography windows are great!Also really appreciated the Engine Rooms and the exhibition there. Was informative and educational. Loved how there's something for everyone, including younger children.

To see this bridge in person still leaves one in amazement. A very iconic part of London, indeed. We went there on a weekend and the area was understandably packed. At around 11am, the queue for the walk above was already long. We did not opt to go up for personal reasons, but I bet the views above are breathtaking, could be literally.

One of the most iconic, if not THE iconic bridges in the world. It’s painted and colorful and easily walkable. Nice wide sidewalks for pedestrians and lots of traffic of course. Stairs at each end. Views of the Tower of London and the River Thames and other very significant buildings of London.The bridge is lit up at night and is even more glorious.

What can we say about this historic place? Your visit begins by climbing the North Tower, move through East Walkway and West Walkway, as you cross the iconic Glass Floors. Head down to the South Tower to road level. Follow the Blue line which commemorates the workers of Tower Bridge.End your visit in the iconic Victorian Engine Rooms. Enjoy your visit!

Really Really good attraction. Friendly staff and very informative. You enter at bottom go via stairs or lift. Once at top the views are fantastic their is also glass floors great for filming the cars and water below. Really good 2 hours spent. If you have a rail ticket you can go for 2 for 1.

Of course iconic and very beautiful especially at nights. There are restaurants around where you can sit and watch the bridge. Some amazing sunset views from here

Great place to visit with toddlers. Lots of steps to climb. But the 2 bridge walks on top and scenes around them are super cool. Engine room and touch screen plays are good time pass

A fantastic landmark in London! Such a cool view from central London! Tickets are great value for money (£13.30). There's even a glass floor where you can look down to the river! It's accessible by stairs and lift. The engine room is really cool! It is separate from tower bridge but you need to follow a 'blue trail' to get to the engine room. Loads of history of tower bridge and easy to get to on public transport (tower hill, tower gateway and fenchurch street stations) Highly recommend!

It’s one of the most iconic bridges in London and it’s definitely worth a visit. You can cross the bridge for free on the ground level (where the cars are driving). But it’s also possible to go to the top of the bridge if you are willing to pay for it. You can enjoy a great view to either side of the bridge. It’s nice to cross the river as a pedestrian but if you find a bus that crosses there it’ll be just as good.

Tower Bridge in London is a must-see for travelers because it's super iconic and offers amazing views of the city. This big bridge with its towers and cool architecture is a sight to behold, especially when it opens up for boats to pass through. Plus, there are fun exhibitions to learn about the bridge's history. But sometimes it gets really crowded with tourists, especially during peak times, which can be a bit overwhelming. Also, there's an admission fee to go tower, so keep that in mind. In brief, Tower Bridge is totally worth a visit for its beauty and history

One of my favorite places to go visit & eat. Awesome experience and popular spot to visit as well. The view is mesmerizing and the people of London are friendly. Probably the most diversified location visited when it comes to food, culture and all of the above pretty much. Definitely recommend staying near the Tower Bridge and visiting the tourist attraction part of it by going all the way up to the see through glass walkway at the top.

The behind the scenes tour is so worth the time and money! I'm an operating engineer so when we finally got down to the engine room to see the old hydraulic system they first used to lift the bridge, I was in my element! They had external portions of the machinery expertly preserved. Of interest, it was cool to see certain components on the machinery just like I see on modern machinery today such as Zerk Fittings for example. At least all the mechanical and engineering nerds like myself will enjoy that part! 😂Of course, let's not take away from the breath taking views of the River Thames you get as you walk across the two higher level walking bridges above!From top to bottom, you can almost feel a historic energy as you walk around reading about all the great men and women who funded, engineered, built, operated, and maintained this significant modern marvel and landmark of London!

I’ll admit that I’m a lucky resident of Tower Hamlets, which allows me £1 entry to Tower Bridge.Having lived in London on and off for fifteen years, I have walked past and over the bridge. I knows it’s beautiful part of the city, but I’ve always wondered how much fun it could be as a tourist attraction. Well, it’s definitely something I would now recommend if you’ve got a family out in London.Be sure you pre-book your tickets. Arriving at the northern side of the bridge, you join the queue, which usually moves nice and fast. And you begin your ascent on the stairs. I am not sure about DDA access.As you reach the top, there is a cinema presentation about the history of the bridge, and on the walkways a lot of information and interactive displays. The highlight is the glass floor walkway, and there are plenty of viewing ports you can slide open to take pictures (avoiding the reflection of you and your camera phone on the glass).

Probably the best war museum in the UK! Have visited many times throughout my life, with friends and family, for displays events and just days out and it never disappoints. So a wide range of vehicles and aircraft for every enthusiast to enjoy. Stepped in history and So much to see and do, definitely worth the visit. I highly recommend the classic wings fights as it was an amazing experience to go up in a 1930s aircraft and see the stunning aerial views of the region. Will definitely be back in the future!

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to fly into Duxford, as it provided me with a unique experience. Upon landing, I walked straight off the runway and into the museum, which immediately immersed me in the atmosphere.Accompanying me on this visit was a disabled passenger, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the museum offers complimentary onsite wheelchairs. This thoughtful provision made the entire experience more accessible and convenient for my companion.We spent a significant amount of time exploring the various hangars, each filled with captivating exhibits and historical artifacts. The sheer magnitude of the collection was awe-inspiring, allowing us to delve deep into aviation history.After our museum tour, we decided to take a break and enjoy a delightful homemade meal. We found a comfortable spot on one of the many benches or tables conveniently located outside, which offered a picturesque view of the active runway. As we dined, we had the privilege of witnessing numerous visiting aircraft and even witnessed some impressive aerobatic displays above the runway. However, the highlight of the day was undeniably the exhilarating sight of a Spitfire soaring past in a breathtakingly fast flyby.Although our visit was thoroughly enjoyable, there was one minor inconvenience we encountered. The distance between the various hangars proved to be quite significant, especially considering our limited time and the presence of a disabled passenger. Unfortunately, the shuttle bus service that would have facilitated our movement between the starting and ending points was out of service during our visit. It would have been immensely helpful to have this service available.Despite this small setback, our overall trip to Duxford left a lasting impression, and we are already making plans to return. I wholeheartedly recommend this museum to everyone, whether you're interested in exploring the exhibits or even considering the unique opportunity to fly into the airfield itself. The experience is truly remarkable and is sure to leave you with cherished memories and a deeper appreciation for aviation history.

We are absolutely blown away by how fantastic the museum is. There is so much to see. We will definitely be having another visit. The facilities are excellent with plenty of picnic seating and the cafe has lovely food. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I can't praise them enough. Well done to IWM Duxford.

It doesn't matter how many times you come here it still an interesting place. The plane collection is always worth a visit. You can fly on various planes if that takes your fancy for that special occasion. The American hangar is well worth a visit. The B52 Bomber is massive taking up half of the hanger. The Black Bird spy plane is also here.

What a fabulous place, we had our Christmas party here. It was awesome . Friendly knowledgeable staff, great atmosphere, good food but most importantly amazing planes. What's not to love?! Also if you are a visitor in the day time the sunset is stunning

Just visited Imperial War Museum Duxford. What an amazing place. We got here at 10am and stayed right until it closed at 6pm. So much incredible history filled with so much genuine original planes & items relating to conflicts around the world. We also got to see a lot of vintage aircraft taking off and landing which was a bonus! It was also nice to see the hangers that the aircraft’s were being worked on so each time you come you can see the progress they make and eventually see it flying! There are planes you can book to be a passenger and fly over the airfield which is great and a once in a lifetime opportunity. They have plenty of toilets which are very clean, they also have a restaurant, gift shop and free parking. The staff are really friendly and will help with any questions. If you’re into history it’s definitely well worth a visit! We never got to finish it all, so we plan to come for a few days next time. Our favourite was the wreckage of the BF110 flown by Rudolf Hess In hanger 1

Definitely all day experience. So much to do and great place for families. Good amount of information in each area. Great to see conservation in action. Cafes reasonably priced and good food. Do recommend taking a picnic as not much space to sit in cafes but plenty of outdoor space. Would come back again

Absolutely stunning experience. You can see all types of war vehicles, from aircraft (my favourite was the SR-71, beautiful one), through mortars and artillery to tanks from WW1, WW2 and modern ones. Also, boarding Concorde and seeing it in real life was amazing. When you are walking from one building to another, you will have an opportunity to see beautiful airplanes perform breathtaking acrobatic stunts. Although the t-shirt I picked in the souvenir shop was already sold out, they have a nice collection of items that are worth buying. 10/10, not visiting it would be a massive mistake.

Really enjoyed it. Not too crowded and lots to see. I was lucky on the day, as weather was great and there were a lot of planes flying around so we got to see some Hurricane aerobatics and some other WWII planes flying about. Would recommend.

Brilliant museum but be prepared for lots of walking. Wonderful displays and plenty to see. Obviously the theme is on war machines but there are some civil planes. It would be fantastic if the museum could have a dedicated section for this. Well worth a visit.

If you love planes, tanks or history this is an amazing day out, great displays with good write ups that interest all ages. The workshop hangers are incredible to watch a spitfire or hurricane being restored or given inspections. The workshops also smell amazing.It's a lot of walking and lots to see, we got distracted by everything and went for lunch late, by which time the food choices were limited. Go, enjoy, read and by the end of the day you will be able to recognize which is a hurricane or spitfire, P51 or thunderbolt

We visited yesterday and had the most incredible day out. I had not been since I was a child, and now I was taking my son to experience the museums.The selection of planes in the various hangers is mind-blowing. The exhibitions are very well thought out, and it all flows impeccably.We recommend going to the very last exhibition first, then working back to the start. We walked for about 5 hours, but there are options for shuttle buses to areas for those who might need this.We spent the entire day there and feel like we barely scratched the surface. It's definitely worth a few visits to allow yourself to soak everything in.The obvious stars of the show are the Blackbird, B-52, Tornado, Harrier, Lancaster, Spitfire...there's a huge list. I was impressed with many of the obscure and lesser known planes and vehicles such as the one man German sub.A very well thought out and maintained museum that must be one of the best in the world for this subject matter.

If you’re interested in aviation, or just history in general — it’s well worth a visit.The complex is far (far) bigger than I anticipated, I still need to go back to complete my visit, there are so many planes on display — if I recall correctly, a total of seven buildings!The one negative I would say, it’s rather expensive compared to other museums; I’d also suggest bringing your own lunch; as again the food is fairly over priced — though I do appreciate the reason for the cost (and personally I am happy to pay, and am already a yearly IWM member), I recognise this might be rather prohibitive for some.

Warning, allow a full day for your visit! We visited especially to see the Spitfire display and were not disappointed, however each and every hanger and display holds marvels of air travel whether it be commercial airlines, first world war aircraft, spitfires or more modern machinery of warfare. It's an absorbing place with stacks of history which make it the ideal setting for an aircraft museum. Sometimes the information provided is a little scant but use Google to supplement the knowledge provided, a great way to spend a day, if you're lucky you might catch some vintage machinery airborne. Well worth the entry fee.

First of all, I would just like to start this review by saying wow. If you are planning a visit, please allocate at least a whole day here. There is so much to do and see you can easily make a day or two of it. I visited with a friend, and the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the very friendly staff who were happy to help us with any questions or queries. There truly is a bit of everything here, from WW2 era fighters like the spitfire and hurricane to current models like the typhoon. Maybe that's not your thing? No problem! There's a vast range of civilian aircraft, too, many of which are open to go inside. These range from a prototype Concorde to a full VC10. This is without mentioning the amazing American section where you can truly appreciate the size of a B52, get up close with an SR71, and many other aircraft! Maybe the aircraft in general is not your interest? Again, you are covered as there is a massive collection of land vehicles in their own dedicated building. Highly recommended for everyone to do.

This is the best museum ever to my humble opinion in combination with my interests, which are not a plane or a history nutter ones, but still liking the subject.If you care at least a little bit about your children, do them and yourself a big favour and buy those tickets asap. I would recommend a bit of a research in advance to know what is there, why and what is interesting about it. There are wonderful signs and everything, but still.My Number One ever, the reason I've visited there first time for and will always keep me going back, is SR-71. This is the best aeronautical achievement of humankind of all times (again - my humble opinion).I try to go at least once a year (no kids), but will one day I will buy that membership and even the birds there will roll their eyes when they see me for 437 375 294 636th time 😂Distance is the only reason I cannot afford to volunteer, otherwise I would put my TV in the bin and probably spend more time volunteering than at my actual workplace.Are you still reading? Come on then, see you there!

Duxford is a truly wonderful place to visit with a huge range of aircraft that are both static and flying, and a fantastic land museum with a range of tanks and vehicles from multiple eras. There is so much to learn and you can spend a long day here so I'd highly recommend getting there early, say to start the day 10am to 10.30am, as this gives lots of time to look around in a relaxed and leisurely way. There's often planes flying around too so you can often see a mini air show on days that are not official airshows. Really amazing and very special place that played a crucial role during the Second World War. Highly recommended and a great place for kids and families to visit.

very good time spent here and lots to see, helpful stuff to answer any questions even depending when you go they have some good shows and events on. but in general see few odd planes take flight.unfortunately only down side is, where its so big its spread out to far and inbetween, it can be a struggle for elderly people to walk it all. rented mobility scooters would be ideal for the elderly just because purely on the size of the place just a suggestion.

Battle of Britain Day. What an amazing place Duxford is. It's a brilliant day out on any day of the week but today took this to another level.We arrived early to take in the hangars and stands. The American Hangar is my favourite. The flying started at 1pm and there was a tremendous array of WW2 aircraft to enjoy.The Red Arrows put on a great show towards the end but the icing on the cake was the Lancaster and Sally B flying together for the first time in decades. The cherry on top was the 16 Spitfires and Hurricanes that made up the big wing who performed two passes.Having flown in a Spitfire, the next item on the aviation bucket list was to go inside a B17. As luck would have it and for 20 very happily spent pounds I was given a very thorough tour inside and out by a super enthusiastic crew member. It was quite a humbling experience to actually stand in the place that countless brave airmen risked their lives whilst under fire. A similar feeling to when I flew in the Spitfire, the B17 is a truly wonderful aircraft.The only slight gripe was being forced to turn left out of the carpark added a rather large detour to our journey, not that it mattered. An awesome day and I will be back again... and again... and probably again!

Really good educational day out for solo or group visits. So much to look at here in the different hangers and displays. They are constantly being updated and refurbished to upkeep the exhibits. Lovely gift shop at the end to pick up merchandise and small gifts. Entry is reasonably priced too.

My partner and I became members last year. Great value for money as you get access to lots of other museums such as the Churchill War Rooms, Imperial War Museum London etc. Always very friendly staff and pleasant experience. You can tell the other visitors appreciate history and engineering. The cafe caters for gluten free with jacket potatoes and chips. Could do with some gluten free cakes perhaps. The toilets are very clean. There is simply too much to see in one day hence we have been 3 times in the last 12 months. My sister has now also joined and thoroughly loved it. They provide a taxi for elderly guests as there is a fair bit of walking between hangers. The best hanger is where the engineers are actively working on planes. People often miss this one. If you visit during the week they will be there. During the summer there are constant flights, you can book a short pleasure flight. I plan to do this next time in the warmer months. The shop as well has something to cater for every budget. It seems as though the item profits also go back to the charity as they are all Imperial War Museum branded. I like to see this.

Great place to visit for all ages! Such a brilliant collection of aircraft with some very detailed descriptions. Quite a large place with a lot of outside walking so would recommend decent shoes and appropriate clothing for being outside. The volunteers are amazing and I hope definitely speak to them as they are full of knowledge. Food options are limited but the food is very nice and they do offer a kids menu

Duxford is such a well run, curated and interesting museum. They've done an impressive job of bringing the exhibits together so that they tie in nicely. All the staff and volunteers are exceptionally friendly, professional, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I can't recommend the annual membership highly enough so you can return and learn more each time.

In The co*ckpit ~ Spitfire N3200 Experience.For Christmas I gifted my son this wonderful opportunity to be able to sit in the co*ckpit of a beautiful, historic Spitfire.Mick, the expert IWM guide, kindly let me sit in whilst he gave us a thoroughly informative talk about the Spitfire’s history.Then my son was able to sit in the co*ckpit whilst Mick explained the controls and what the conditions would have been like.The whole experience was incredible, I cannot recommend it enough. Plus the proceeds go towards the N3200 and keeping her airworthy. A very memorable day!

Brilliant museum, lots to see and do for adults and children. Staff were very happy to help and were very knowledgeable. Everytime we come here we learn something new. Disabled access was great and you can get up close to all the aircraft. The highlight of our visit was seeing the spitfire take off and land several times during the day. Will definitely be back soon.

What a fabulous 7 hours here. A wonderful museum and so much to learn, see and do as well. A really well preserved WW1 RAF base too, which makes the museum even more interesting.Really friendly and knowledgeable staff too. Thank you.Looking forward to bringing my Dad next year and hopefully get when its an Airshow too.Wish I'd brought a packed lunch as the food prices were extortionate- I felt - £6 for 1 sausage roll!!

This museum is massive and 100% worth the trip/money! This is a full day out it took us (2 adults and 2children) 4/5 hours to complete all the buildings. There are cafes and toilets throughout the whole facility and a really nice gift shop.

Love places like this. Amazing to see some of the flying machines of the past that have shaped the world we live in.Really informative place to visit, with a new play park for kids being built, a cafe and shop and loads of airfield action with the hurricane and spitfire going up.Not to mention you can get on a concorde too!Will attend their airshow in June!

Attended the D-day memorial air show on Sunday 3rd June . An incredible day, helped by amazing weather. The air show itself was a mix of historic and modern aircraft performing fly pasts as well as aerobatics...a true spectacle . Of course the core theme was to remember/ celebrate the 80th anniversary of the D - Day landings and the event didn't fail to deliver . Of course entry allowed access to the whole museum which is simply full of outstanding air and land exhibits spanning many theatres of war ..a good day out ..totally recommended

So many planes and so little time! A great day out with so much to see that you do really need most of the day to get round everything. A lot of walking but it's mostly flat. They also run a regular mini bus service between hangers.

Brilliant places to see such wonders of the skies! Took all the hours available to see all the hangers and still did not have enough time, so prepare well and your time. Staff excellent, and the volunteers went above and beyond to help. Definitely be back.

Heaven for history, aviation and military nerds, Imperial War Museum Duxford is, quite simply, astounding in every way. From amazing permanent displays stretched across an authentic airfield used during both World Wars, military and civilian aircraft from around the world, and highly knowledgeable staff. On top of all that, their Flying Season airshows, large and small, are utterly spectacular and well worth the prices.

What an amazing place, the history of this place is awe-inspiring and a little emotional to boot. A great day out for the whole family, we were lucky enough to catch 2 spitfires taking off and landing which gave myself and the Mrs chills from the sound of the engine. Cannot recommend this place enough!

This place is absolutely amazing. A must for anyone you just can't believe how these planes look in real life. Advice your looking at at least 4hrs to get round it all. The volunteer staff honestly are what make this place what it is they are a credit to the place, also try the chilly dog from the cafe near the entrance. Overall very happy and worth the money awsum experience

I was lucky enough to be able to fly in a Spitfire as a 60th birthday present from my daughters. It was an incredible experience and brought me pure joy. The staff were fantastic and very friendly which just added to the whole day.Each of the buildings holds history within its walls and it's worth taking your time to absorb everything.

Omg, what an amazing day!And you don't even need to be passionate about aviation to enjoy it.There's a Lot to see, we spent 5 hours there and only managed half of what was there. And the photo opportunities were plentiful.So definitely make a day of it. ❤️One of the best parts is that a lot of the staff and volunteers are Veterans who love to tell their stories... and they've got some good ones!😎

Went with a friend who is a huge aircraft enthusiast while not knowing much about the subject myself, but I ended up having a lot of fun and learning quite a bit.The collection of planes was very impressive and it was quite a treat to be able to enter the cabins of the Concorde and Handley Page Hermes as well as to see the co*ckpits of several fighter planes from up close. Fantastic idea for a day trip.

Came here yesterday really good day out highly recommend! Clean well organised modern museum. Cost £67 for 2 adults 1 child with no donation which I thought was a little excessive. Food and drink are expensive aswell so bring your own!

Outstanding aviation museum, so much to see across a massive site.Spitfire, Lancaster, concord, plus a massive collection of American 🇺🇸 planes including the gigantic b52.You can pay on the day which isn’t really cheap, however you can become a member for £15 per month, 2 adults and 6 kids, go unlimited times, free entrance to mini air shows, 10% off the major ones (not near enough in my opinion) you can visit other iwm sites for free.Visit and join today.

It was fascinating to see all the exhibits. The restoration teams have done a fantastic job with all of the planes and artefacts. my son thought the historical information available was particularly fantastic and I have to agree.

Definitely a place to spend all day at, so much to see & learn about. It is not all about military aircraft, there was a number of civil airliners to walk through. It was also interesting to see the restoration work being done.As with other reviews I would suggest taking your own food. I appreciate it is a charity, but £6.00 for a cold, ungarnished sausage roll, served on a cardboard "plate" seems excessive.

We visited this magnificent cathedral on Sunday. Although the stained glass museum is not open, the experience is quite impressive. Especially the colors on the walls that are drawn by sunlight and the stained glasses are magical. Those colors combined with exquisite carvings and the tranquil sound from the organ, let us forget the time and be soothed. Also recommend the trails suggested by the Ely Country Park, the views of River Great Ouse are beautiful.

Ely Cathedral, a magnificent architectural masterpiece nestled in the heart of the charming city of Ely, is a place that transports you to a realm of awe-inspiring beauty and spiritual contemplation. During my recent visit, I was left utterly captivated by the cathedral's grandeur, rich history, and serene atmosphere.From the moment I set foot inside, the sheer scale and intricacy of the cathedral's design took my breath away. The soaring ceilings, ornate stained glass windows, and meticulously carved stone details are a testament to the skill and artistry of the craftsmen who dedicated themselves to its creation. Each step along the nave, transepts, and chapels reveals new wonders to behold, with architectural surprises at every turn.One of the highlights of my visit was the chance to witness the cathedral's renowned Octagon Tower, an architectural marvel that rises majestically above the crossing. The intricate tracery and delicate stonework of the tower left me in awe of the vision and engineering prowess of those who conceived and constructed it. I was fortunate enough to ascend to the tower's summit, where I was rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, offering a breathtaking perspective of Ely and its picturesque surroundings.

Full of history, full of life despite being one of the oldest in the country. Ely cathedral is a place to take a good slow walk through hundreds years of colourful history. It's a great trip for even non-religious visitors.

I recently visited Ely Cathedral with my daughter’s school, and it was an unforgettable experience! The grandeur of the cathedral is truly awe-inspiring, with its stunning architecture and beautiful stained glass windows. The kids were fascinated by the history and the incredible details throughout the building. The guided tour was both educational and engaging, making it a perfect blend of learning and fun. I highly recommend a visit to Ely Cathedral for anyone, especially families and school groups. It’s a must-see landmark that leaves a lasting impression!

A most pleasant few hours. Good walk down to the river with made paths. There are paved routes down to the river where you can enjoy a drink overlooking the river.The city centre is ok but watch out for the vagrants. On the plus side lots of old buildings and 1950s shop fronts.Excellent parking.

Loved visiting Ely Cathedral. It is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Such a beautiful piece of architecture. We didn't do the tours but understand there are other closed off areas where you can pay extra for tours. We also visited the stain glass museum which was equally beautiful. Highly recommend a visit to see born parts.

Magnificent and breath-taking. This is a true wonder. Visited on a cool Saturday afternoon with a couple of colleagues at school and had a good time.The experience in this massive cathedral with its rich history was like reading a thriller novel. The choir was amazing, and we just sat the in the utter transfiguration. Student ID admits you into the cathedral for free.You must checkout the gift shop when you visit or market across the road for great souvenirs.

Beautiful experience! And very affordable tickets. I reccomend adding one of the tours to the visit, if you are into history and architecture. they're about an hour or so. General Tickets will also give you full day access so you can look around before and after a tour if you schedule one. I bought my tickets ahead of time on their website

Amazingly beautiful cathedral. It's very attractive from the outside and even more attractive inside. I would definitely recommend visiting here. Very well looked after. Very large with beautiful areas inside.

Absolutely magnificent.They have tours inside, which are well worth it to feel the full experience of immersing yourself in the cathedral. The grounds are well maintained, and their information points are interesting. Although there is currently maintenance work being undertaken, it does not affect the sheer magnificence of this cathedral.A must-see in Ely!

Beautiful cathedral in the city of Ely, with beautiful surroundings and market square. The Alcove garden is also a little hidden gem. The new sculptures are incredible! I was convinced the two of the man and woman, were a young couple having an argument from a distance. Was weird when I noticed they weren't real, very convincing! 😄

This is the attraction where I will happily take any visitors to the local area. It's really fun to watch their reactions as you take them up the towers and across the roof, but the whole building is incredibly impressive with a great history that adds rich character to the region. Each of if the tour guides are hugely knowledgeable and add extra depth to the experience.The entry price is very expensive. The ticket gives repeat visits for a year, but for single trip tourists the value is quite a bit lower.

I love cathedrals and Ely cathedral is no exception (but it is an exceptional building!) - there's something awe inspiring and moving about old religious buildings like Ely cathedral, it's impossible to not be impressed at the architecture. The staff are lovely and friendly and always on hand to answer any questions you may have. There's a nice little gift shop and sometimes there are exhibitions. There are also toilets if you get caught short. Well worth a visit because of how breathtakingly beautiful the place is. It's a tad pricey at £8 a visit when you can get in other cathedrals for free (Peterborough and Norwich for example), but still worth a visit at least once.

Great day for £10 and £5 for the stain glass museum. I used the free all-day parking. And had a nice lunch at the Almonry restaurant and tea room.

A beautiful cathedral, The Ship of the Fens.I popped into the shop to get my Pilgrims Passport stamped.I've been here on many occasions, school visits as a governor, remembrance day, the wonderful Toppings book launches, and with friends for coffee and scones at the café.There are lovely grounds to explore as well.Accessible facilities and access, good toilet facilities, a shop, and knowledgeable volunteers and guides on hand to answer your questions. You can pay to tour the Cathedral, the octagon is a spectacular sight, especially when the poppy petals are falling.It hosts many events, festivals, and markets throughout the year. Parking is a way out of the city centre and a lot of it will be uphill to the Cathedral. It's 15 minutes or more from the train station and uphill all the way there.

Amazing architecture which worth to visit even the fee is £14, online cheaper but worth every penny. Anglican Cathedral whose present building dates back to 1089 AD. It was originally built in a monumental Roman style, some parts redesigned in the Gothic style.Plenty to see here such as the Lady Chapel and the Octagon Tower in the centre of the church. Impressive marble monuments and painted windows. You can take a tour of the massive West Tower too.Ely Cathedral is one of the most detailed art and architectural churches in England.

A very big cathedral for one of the smallest cities in the UK.Located right in the middle of Ely.Tickets were £14 and so we decided not to go in on this day but you can enter the gift shop and lobby area to take photos.You can also go in for free for worship and pray.There is a herb garden and flower garden that you can visit, outside the cathedral.As of June 2024, there is a 'Am I my brother’s keeper?' An exhibition of sculptures by Sean Henry in the cathedral, two can be seen outside.Definitely worth a visit even if you decide not to pay for admission.

Ely cathedral is a beautiful building set in stunning surroundings and well worth visiting. I have shared a video of the cathedral on my YouTube channel: urbantiger6540, take a look.The cathedral costs £14, the stained glass museum costs £6 and the tower costs £11. I think it was a little expensive considering other cathedrals throughout the country are free entry and donations, but this was still a very impressive building. There are a few free car parks around Ely.

A must visit place, excellent medieval engineering and a well maintained cathedral. Parking is free in Ely, you can find many parking options nearby and the best of it that it's free. After visiting the cathedral, you can have a walk to the riverside park which is just a 10 minute walk.

An absolutely stunning cathedral both inside and out!! It’s definitely worth a visit inside and if their available book to climb the towers!!!! Both tower tours fantastic! The whole cathedral is beautiful and full of history.The staff have always been very friendly and informative when I’ve been and I’ve visited the cafe on a few occasions and have no complaints. There is a small gift shop too which is nice.

Wow! This is the most incredible cathedral. Somehow more beautiful than the others due to its remarkable medieval, timber framed octagon, making it unique.As you walk in, you are also met by a stunning painted ceiling running the whole length of the first part of the building.It has so many amazing bits of history in and around it, so worthy of a visit.There is a audio guide available giving you the best of information and helping you to navigate.They have recently added new lighting, which is an ongoing project, so the ceilings are just stunning, the angels leaning forward from on high, beautiful.It is a wonder in every sense and a cathedral not to be missed.

Ely Cathedral, located in the picturesque city of Ely, UK, is an architectural marvel and a testament to centuries of craftsmanship. This stunning cathedral, with its intricate Gothic design, soaring arches, and captivating stained glass windows, is a true masterpiece. The breathtaking beauty of its interior and the serene ambiance within its hallowed walls make it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and architecture aficionados. The cathedral's rich history and awe-inspiring architecture create an unforgettable experience, leaving visitors in awe of its grandeur.

It's a lovely Cathedral and beautiful gardens to walk around. The history is really neat and it will take some time to talk around areas everything.The cost is deceptive. They charge additional for a tower tour and they charge additional for a stained glass museum. I don't think either are worth the money. Parking is very hard to find on the weekends at Ely so plan ahead for that.

We were shocked by the cathedrals prices - £14 entry with minimal concessions. £7.50 for tower and a further £6.50 for the stained glass museum. However, the glorious building and setting still deserve 5 stars. As a contemorary symbol of the Christian faith, it gets 1 star. The current art installations are mildly interesting, and the spiel tries to spiritualise them - laughably in my view. Much emphasis is given to a 19c revival of a medieval saint's cult. The richest landowner in Britain other than the Crown 'needs' your money to this degree. The money changers have a new temple.

Impressive cathedral worth visiting. Whilst £14 may sound expensive, this astonishing building and the included audio guide are definitely worth it.Also fully recommend paying the extra £11 to visit the Octagon tower: the views are worth it and the guide was superb, very knowledgeable.

Fabulous place. If you have less than an hour in Ely within Cathedral opening hours as we did, recommend attending a service as then entry is free. Otherwise it is £14 and to make the most of that would recommend having an hour or so to see the place properly. A tour of the wooden octagon (?) on roof exists and looks fascinating. Ely itself is delightful. The Lamb hotel is right alongside the Cathedral.

Not only is the cathedral immense but it is impressive on so many fronts. Take the tour up the huge West Tower, the guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about his subject. Yes it’s 250+ steps but as you climb you learn much of the history and the views on this April day were huge.I had the great fortune to visit the day before the opening of exhibition by sculptor Sean Henry - “Am I My Brother’s Keeper” The artist’s figures so cleverly placed on vacant plinths and spaces. This together with meeting the Sculptor made the visit really special. Thanks.

Amazing cathedral both inside and out!! It’s definitely worth a visitThe stain glass museum couldn’t have found a better locationThe whole cathedral is beautiful and full of history.The staff is extremely friendly and informative There is a small gift shop too which is nice.

What a magnificent piece of history! The details are mesmerizing. They were debuting new audio tours and it added an amazing depth to the experience. Being able to click on the area you were stepping into and hear a history and details about the space was awesome.

Such a loverly and peaceful Cathedral. Most excellent stained glass exhibition.Hubby and I loved visiting Ely Cathedral and would like to thank all the people there for making it an interesting visit.

Thank you Ely Cathedral for the most exciting & creative fundraising event. Silent Disco.At 74 y.o i felt so privileged. It's a wonderful venue. It was 3 hours of non stop dancing.. choice of 3 music channels....great mix of ages At all times you were are of this magnificent Cathedral was a place of worship. The Sacredness was preserved..it's generosity of allowing pure Joy in such surroundings contributed to a sense of great Gratitude ...

Stunning cathedral well worth a visit. Booked the free ground floor tour, Kris our guide was brilliant & very knowledgeable. £14.00 each entrance fee was definitely worth it.

Honestly, nothing can do it justice. The castle is wonderful, especially at Christmas. The grounds are exquisite. The staff and volunteers are helpful and knowledgeable.The bed and breakfast is absolutely better than anything you can imagine. The rooms ate incredible, the service wonderful and the breakfast ( and dinner if you are able to dine there) excellent.Honestly, just cannot enthuse enough about this place. It has become our favourite.

What a lovely day out. We'd been before twice, but not been for a good few years. The sun was out and the flowers in bloom. There was a little cold wind but we found a sheltered spot for our picnic. There was a little queue for the castle but definitely worth the wait. There is an audio tour while in the castle, very informative. Both the water and hedge mazes are great fun. The gardens are amazing and must take ages to tend. The lake was lovely but the cold wind blew in from there. There were plenty of food vans around and a couple of restaurants but we did not buy coffee in the pavilion as there was over a 30min wait to get coffee, they need to sort this out as that is not acceptable. Overall excellent day out that I would recommend

Lovely day out with plenty to do. Good parking within walking distance. Entry process smooth. Beautiful gardens, roses, lake. Historic tour of House recommended and the audio guide added to the experience. Food outlets are good. Small museum to the Kent soldiers. Children's play area. Boating Lake.Recommended as a lovely day out with something for everyone.

Probably has become my no 1 favourite castle to visit.Beautiful castle and surroundings, loved every minute of it. Highly recommend to do the lake walk, takes an hour but worth it!Fun day out here, so much to see and do, lots of ducks!

We enjoyed a lovely afternoon at Hever Castle yesterday. The history of the house is very interesting. The gardens are really beautiful. There's a lot for kids to do. The water maze,in particular, was a big hit with the youngsters.Well worth a visit, go there if you can.

A beautiful place , gardens are lovely with something new to see round every corner. The water maze was fun , and happily we solved the yew maze too! The moat cafe had enough food options including vegan ones to satisfy all of us. Close to Halloween when we were there and we chatted to a vampire, spotted a ghost and saw lots of crashed witches. Well worth a visit for adults and children alike.

Beautiful castle with great exhibitions and lots of great informative staff. It also has lovely gardens and a very nice walk around the lake on the grounds. Definitely worth multiple visits for the many different events held throughout the year

Beautiful gardens. Phenomenal castle.There’s even a great playground for the kids.The behind the scenes tour was was well worth it at 3 pounds.The remodel will add a lot to the history and make it more like Anne Boleyn’s lifetime.You’ll learn about the Astor family too who helped renovate the castle.We came before peak season so only the main cafe was open. It would be nice to see all the shops bustling. Peak season starts in June so it’ll be lively soon.Discounted tickets if you buy online even the day of. Saves about 2 pounds each.Very cool experience.

A delightful place to visit. The gardens are truly beautiful as you'll see in the photos.The castle itself is steeped in History from the reign of Henry VIII and tragic Ann Boleyn to the Astor family.I was there for many hours but could still have spent longer, I just ran out of time.In terms of facilities, there are a few places to buy food and drinks and I would definitely recommend trying one of their ice creams. Food and drink prices are quite high.but the quality is good. You can of course take a picnic if you wish.Toilet facilities are good and also clean.Parking is free and plentiful.There is an excellent gift shop with a huge range of mementos and other goods to buy.All in all a great place to visit,for the gardens alone it is more than worth it

Beautiful place. We stayed in the castle B&B and was able to wander around the garden before it was open to the public. Great place to spend the day with kids. The kids audio guide in the castle is great fun. It kept us entertained for nearly 2 hours.

Visited a couple of weeks ago, so worth the visit of the garden and castle. Well kept and interesting audio guide, plus kiddies playground was superb. Archery was fun, payable separately in cash. A couple of places to eat and have coffee. Shop was well stock too. Seen a wedding held there and bride photos taken in front of the castle

Such a beautiful place. Visiting the castle felt like time travel, but we loved the huge park even more. The rose garden is amazing. Everything is looked after so well and there is so much to discover :)) Perfect destination for a wonderful day trip

Great day out. Been here before but not during the jousting competitions. Great experience and they involve the kids so it's fairly family friendly. Would recommend a walk around the gardens and the castle (even though the castle itself is quite small). A lot more food options than last time I went, and the gift shop is pretty decent. Very tidy overall and very helpful staff.

Great place!!! Castle is amazing. It is not big, which is good and when you walk through all the rooms you are not feeling tired. You enjoy everything. The gardens and the lake (especially Italian gardens) blow your mind. Thoroughly recommended!!!

A friend had toured the castle and grounds and mentioned that there was a B and B. We were only in the UK 6 nights and only had one night to spend here--and I'm glad that we did.The Falstaff and Bremly rooms were wonderful and the staff was even better. We took their recommendations for places to eat and all were top notch.And then there is the castle--what a treat.

An absolute gem of a place. Beautifully maintained with plenty to see and do. We got to see plenty of the castle interior and I’m sure it will be even better following the offing renovations. An amazing slice of British history. The cafe was also good with decent coffee and cake.

Beautiful gardens on a massive estate all kept immaculately.Had a very nice walk around the big lake which has lovely views and interesting areas.Fascinating castle where Anne Boleyn lived as a child.Although it was quite busy in the cafe and castle the grounds were peaceful and so extensive it wasn’t a problem.Had a very pleasant 3 or 4 hours.

What an amazing day we had!! Steeped in local history! We got the family ticket which allowed us in to the gardens and around the castle which a has an excellent audio tour to accompany it! Parking is free! You can take a picnic or buy from the many food stalls available! Dogs are allowed on leads and there is a huge adventure playground for the kids! We drove from West London which took around 60 mins on a bank holiday. I would highly recommend!

We had no idea how much time we would need to see and experience all. Which means, we have to come back for sure.This place is amazing. And so many activities going on. We did only book the gardens, but with watching the jousting, the weaponry demonstration, the battle of the knights and visiting the Italian garden and lake, time was running away from us.Great day out. Most people bring there own picnic as there is ample space to rest on the various lawns throughout the park.Definitely a place for a family. Kids will be entertained, as there is so much going on for kids of all ages.We loved it. Next time we will be visiting, we will come much earlier and leave time for a visit of the castle as well.There is lots of parking space available for free and wheelchair accessible as well.

We loved it. What a wonderful place to visit. The history of the Boleyn family and its relationship with Henry VIII is prominent on display.The grounds are spectacular and the craftsmanship in the castle is amazing.The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.I would definitely recommend the trip.

Really great park to visit! Especially for kids, but we went as a family and a dog! Dogs are allowed around the garden but not inside the castle.There are loads of activities for everyone, interesting architecture.We went on the boats which was about 19£ for 30 minutes and definitely worth it!There are people dressed up in costumes and interesting stands to see from back in the old times.For families I would recommend, even for a walk as a couple. There are entrance fees but no fees of parking.

Lovely place buzzing of joy and wondercolours of autumn as we visited on an October Sunday. Everything for everyone- military museum at entrance, history castle with lots of information, great Halloween decor, fair selection of snack and cold or warm drinks to buy, nice souvenir and gardening shop, amazing gardens and maze. Highly recommended either for family, friends, romantic or just for a day out !!! Hope you will enjoy it as much as we did.

A great place to visit if you enjoy both history and gardens. If you like to know more about the Tudor era, you must visit Hever castle. It's a beautiful house, and it has great gardens filled with pretty flowers and different types of maze. It's a pleasant place to visit with family and friends.

The tiniest castle I have ever seen! So interesting history and the most versatile cool garden with fun mazes. I enjoyed the walk so much despite the weather wasn’t the best.Why 4*? I found it a bit cheeky to charge full price when most of the rooms in the castle were under refurb. Also, the cafe girls have no manners or customer service skills. There was chaos and dirty tables in the cafeteria. Dog friendly castle and garden was a plus 🐕

Wonderful family-friendly experience.The gardens are absolutely amazing, regardless of the time of the year you go, there's something special going on.The playground is insane, a real add-on to the visit ! Beautiful walk around the lake to finish, lovely food selection and plants/gifts to buy.

A really stunning castle with equally beautiful grounds. There’s a long path round the lake to explore, the gorgeous Italian gardens, the maze, water maze, 2 cafes with shops & toilets & various food vendors dotted around. Not the biggest castle to go around but has history on the owners & Henry VIII’s timeline. Plus an exhibit on the torture equipment of the day.

Great castle to visit. Packed with stuff and interesting stories of the history. It set in massive grounds with gardens and a lovely lake. Very picturesque. Look out for the animal topiary. The snowdrops are lovely at the moment in February with some daffodils as well. The tour for £3 is very worthwhile with extra stories and more rooms to visit.

We had a lovely day visiting here whilst on holiday. The gardens, Lake are beautiful with good walks and paths. Interesting visit to the castle loved hearing about its history.

Stunning gardens, beautiful castle - a must visit place.Very clean and well maintained, the castle is surrounded by vast grounds with charming scenery. The breathtaking views had me snapping photos constantly.The top-notch gardens and a beautiful lakeside walk enhance the castle's beauty.

Beautiful garden and palace! A bit pricey but well worth it. Ticket with palace entrance include audio guide for all—-kids version as well and very entertaining! Lovely garden and amazing shop, don’t forget to visit the miniature Tudor models tucked at the back of the shop! A gem!

A lovely visit to Hever Castle.I went with my 85 year old Father and he loved it too We had been many years ago,so we were overdue a return visit.Highly recommend it for a relaxing day out and the history of the castle itself if fascinating. The Maypole dancing was really fun to watch and the Sheriff of Nottingham and his crew were brilliant too.

Visited the gardens and craft fair on at the time. The gardens are well kept and colourful. Larger than expected, and a beautiful walk by the lakeside is available. The gardens were in full bloom in May. The craft fair was also good, with lots of skilled craftsmen making items at their stalls.I would recommend taking your own food and beverages as these are grossly overpriced at all of the outlets in Hever.

One of the most amazing places for kids in the UK. Large adventure playground, the castle, gardens, water play. You can easily spend an entire day there. Never busy. If you come more than three times best to buy an annual membership. Food available, but also people with picnics. Easy parking. We have been there 10x in two years and kids asking when we go again.

Really lovely experience,castle is small but full of history. Gardens were very well maintained, lots of picnic areas great for families. The jousting tournament in the afternoon was great fun. The guys & gals really put on a great family show. Well done 👏

A really enjoyable day out. Huge gardens and lots of walks to see, lakes, waterfalls, colourful and aromatic plants. The Castle is beautiful, crammed full of history, ranging from hundreds of years ago to (fairly) recent. Staff are very friendly and welcome. Our guide, Susan, was very interesting on the behind the scenes tour which was well worth the £3 each. Would go again and at different times of the year to get full experience of the gardens.

Fabulous castle with fascinating history. We had a behind the scenes tour with an excellent guide who was so knowledgeable and kept our small group very interested. We visited in the spring and saw lots of daffodils and other spring flowers. The gardens are immaculate and absolutely amazing. Would love to visit in the summer to see the summer flowers. Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend.

Having been to Hampton court palace a few years ago, was only fitting to visit Hever Castle, which was the childhood home Anne Boleyn. Well maintained historical castle and gardens. Lovely water maze, which did get me soaked lol. There was also an 1940-50s event going on this weekend as was lovely to see folks dressed that era. There’s a certain decorum and elegance to that time.

Amazing place for a day visit. Gardens beautifully done, the main house full of history and interesting information. Great that dogs were allowed in the gardens, shame they cannot be 'parked' outside if you wanted to visit the house too.Coffee shop looked nice and we (all adults) also loved the maze and water maze, good fun! Plenty to do and see.

It is time to breath history here. The gardens are amazing. I recommend you to dish out the additional fee to enter the building. We even paid an extra to have the behind the scenes on the unfinished section of the internal renovation, the lady guide was very informative and we had a lovely tour

The most special place with gorgeous gardens. No end of people spend so much time here making it pristine and beautiful, all I can say is thank you and hats off to your talent! Fabulous acer trees to be admired here amongst other things!

I stayed at Hever Castle for the night, hoping to get my head down to study. This didn't happen because there is far too much to see and it is absolutely beautiful! Friendly helpful staff. Lovely room with everything you need. Stunning surroundings. You can wonder the grounds after all the visitors leave, and you're also given entry into the castle. I would highly recommend

Lovely gardens and expansive grounds, quite a few benches and picnic areas though take a picnic blanket if watching the jousting. Lots of ice cream vending points and a cafe though I didn't use their facilities.Great water maze.Castle good, but only small area accessed.People are allowed to take dogs in the grounds.

The castle is filled with some very interesting history which is relayed through a free audio guide. Unfortunately a number of the rooms are currently closed to the public.There are ample grounds to explore, a maze to get trapped in and well manicured gardens.

A delightful.plsce to visit for a wander amongst beautiful gardens, lake & explore the history of the castle. Clean and well maintained. We look a picnic as food/drink.prices are typically high in such places & they were here too. A nice day out.

Excellent day out. Lovely gardens, interesting house. Almost too much for a single day trip. Can be a longish walk back to the car park. Very helpful staff. Water maze on a hot day good for kids. Food a tad expensive but to be expected.

A great experience for all the family, the grounds are glorious with many different areas to explore. You can take a variety of boats out in the lake, explore the castle where Anne Boleyn lived, see knights jousting on horses, have a go at archery and much more!

It’s a good place to rest after walking / hiking across the coast, it has a nice vibe to it. I enjoyed the interior, provided nice escape from the sun in the summer. I would recommend to get a drinks only as they are reasonably priced, but food is not great. I’ve had fish & chips and it was one of the worst I’ve had. My partner’s vege burger was bang average as well.

Very warm welcome, amazing staff, great tasting food and to top it off.. dog friendly!. Location and views are amazing.. don't put off visiting, you won't be disappointed... Thankyou and see you again soon !

We were up for a coffee and cake both were great 👍👍👍👍👍. The views are amazing. Really nice staff and the food has always been good.I am hoping my new review on TripAdvisor has gone through but wanted to say.We came back again and had a lovely lunch snack here were served by Melissa and Anthony. But also others the food was still amazing and great value. The portions were a great size. We shared the deal which was a selection of tasty dishes like Hog Pork sausage roll the garlic pizza and halloumi cheese sticks. It was amazing and only 10 quid.Great value and amazing staff.Cheers everyone

We came all the way from London to check out the magnificent Seven Sisters Cliffs on a Sunday afternoon & were “welcomed” with a “Hey! You won’t get any food today”. The waiter(?) further said that he has many booking and 16 more people to come.I personally understand, that the time past covid is tricky for everyone, but being polite isn’t. He could have literally said something down the line like “we are fully booked for this evening, but I can ask the kitchen staff if they have more capacity right now and get right back to you”. The outcome (no food) would have been the same, but our experience would have been so much better.Location & the view (see picture) is amazing, can’t tell you about the food as we didn’t get any & the personal made us feel not welcome and a burden.

Such a great place to eat.We did a hike from Seaford to Eastbourne and found this pub when we got super hungry. We ordered food and drinks and everything for really good.The location of this pub is great. You could go down for a small walk overlooking the sea. We saw many small aircraft’s practising around this area. It was a nice view.

Beautiful views, very cozy and comfortable inside, truly special place! And, when all of this accompanied with great looking and tasting food, five stars won’t be enough to justify! Impressive!

Came here on Friday for my Birthday lunch seems to be traditional coming here 5th birthday lunch here in my 30s. Lovely location and can never beat the surrounding views. Food amazing as always and well presented. Always a warm and friendly environment as a family we have found ourselves here more often over last year. Also a fantastic place just to grab a drink and enjoy the sunset 🌇

Very good food, service was also excellent and the atmosphere with the view over the highlands of England are just amazing. Highly recommended once you are around.

Such a great restaurant/pub , the views across the downs and Beachy head are breath taking, the staff are very friendly and good food and drinks menu.Beware it is often very windy up there!I highly recommend 👌🏼🍾

The place is super cozy and a great way to escape the wind coming from the cliffs. The staff was attentive and the food delicious (especially the pudding). I'd highly recommend it.

This place is super cosy and beautiful. Great location with very nice view. Staff is really lovely, we were served by Lilly and one other lady who helped me with my allergies 😊 unfortunately we don’t know her name, food is amazing. We had Sunday roast absolutely loved the pork belly 😋 worth to visit.

Holidaying on the south coast it was a treat to find the 'The Beachy Head!'Glorious views across the downs and 7 sisters. It's huge but manages to be cozy. We liked the place, the beer and food enough, to come back the next day! Food was on the whole great 👍 and the bonoffee pie is a treat!Pizza, Burger and chips and a beer and Cider and pudding to share about 45.The staff are helpful and friendly, down to earth with good local knowledge.A chain pub this big can do better beer prices. £6 is taking the ....

Popped in for a swift drink& crisps. Fantastic views. Very comfortable atmosphere. Great place to sit and relax after having a walk along the cliffs.

Had a wonderful late lunch/early dinner. The weather was horrid and the view was nonexistent but as soon as we walked in they had a fire going and the staff were welcoming and we had the loveliest meal. Definitely will come back next time, hopefully with the view as a cherry on top.

I always come to this place no doubt (this is my fourth time is one of the best. Is in such a good location where you can see the views out of the window. Is also such a lovely cosy homely place and the food is absolutely delicious!! Service is always good but particularly Jan was such a lovely woman and she provided us with such a good service.

This was my first time, we had a 12:30 booking for 4 adults. We were impressed by the quality of the food. We enjoyed the view, the atmosphere and the comfortable seating arrangements. The friendly staff deserves praise, they really were flat out serving with a smile on this super busy summer afternoon. Hats off to the chef and the kitchen staff for the very tasty meals served hot from the stove!

What a lovely lunch we’ve had at Beachy Head today! Food was excellent, garlic bread was particularly impressive! Service was very efficient. A special thank you to Jan for making our lunch extra special

Melissa was amazing so friendly and attentive and polite, lovely food, lovely Father’s Day highly recommended

Been a few times whilst visiting the area. Lovely food, staff very welcoming. The views are stunning. Would highly recommend. 👍

What a stop! Wow. The service was amazing, Due to a rush the kitchen had shut for an hour. We asked to wait and a table was given while we waited. Had a drink and relaxed and the the food cam out! Wow what a beautiful meal with a view that was stunning. The staff where great and so polite. The manager was a great guy and actually seemed to treat the staff well, calm atmosphere, food amazing, we enjoyed the meal and will be back again to eat and relax. Amazing views over the road as well! Thank you all for a beautiful time.

Table booking was easy to make online and was confirmed the day before by email. When we arrived, we were met with a friendly greeting and taken straight to our requested table, which as much appreciated. Our server was very friendly and efficient in taking our orders. The food was generally good, but when I discovered that my roast was not very warm, this was quickly corrected - so all good :)

The Beachy, head restaurant and hotel was a prime location within the south coast a good looking establishment with good parking, and decent reviews as seemed.However, when we arrived, we had to wait 5 minutes till we were serve it seemed like they were understaffed hence the wait. with a glance over the menu options, there was a decent selection of pub Classics and other unique dishes.The chicken buttermilk burger and arrangements of sides and small plates were ordered. A very well-made and delicate plates were very good crispiness for the chicken. There was great flavour and I highly enjoyed the Chipotle Chili jam with the burger.One thing I would say was the glasses were very dirty and had dishwasher and limescale stains. It definitely seemed like someone did not polish the glasses well enough.

Food very well, environment terrific, always feel good in the midway of no where and found a warm place with good food!The best part is, mobile signal is full as there is a signal tower beyond the restaurant!

Called into The Beachy Head last Monday for some lunch. Straight off Dan made us feel so welcome, offering us a nice table with a lovely view. He waa attentive and kind, and nothing was too much trouble. We had a relaxing drink while we chose from the menu.The menu choice was excellent, our food arrived in good time and it was delicious. Our daughter is vegetarian, and loved the burger. The atmosphere really was so welcoming, and while all the staff were very pleasant, attentive and courteous, I must mention Dan who was excellent throughout. We'll definitely visit again when we're down on the East Sussex coast.

Lovely welcoming staff 🙂But clearly the place is under staffed as the wait time on a Monday around 2pm was 40 minutes for food, this is after a 15 minute wait for the order to be taken.Drinks also took around 10-15 minutes to arrive (not great when your second drink comes after you've already eaten your dinner)The food is standard, I would avoid the grilled chicken as it was like cardboard! Just so so dry I had this in my curry and my partner had it in a burger.It's a lovely pub and great that dogs are welcome!

Good food, great views. It get pretty busy over weekends so is best to book in advance

Great selection of food (especially vegetarian options), friendly staff and good service.Great location and views are a bonus. I feel confident recommending this place to family and friends

Well worth the ticket cost. The house tour is surprisingly interactive with seats, games and displays. Grounds full of flowers and things to see. Easy to spend a whole day there, and standard tickets allow for free re-entry for the year.

We visited for the Christmas lights festival. We usually go to Bedgebury, but this was closer to us and more convenient.We all felt it was easily on par with the latter, and we had a great time walking around the grounds exploring all the sites.Movement throughout the grounds was smooth and painless.

We went on Father’s Day with a tour but this place is huge and spread out, therefore didn’t seem crowded. The grounds are beautiful, the castle is impressive with tons of history and lots of things to do for kids. We even did the maze and the grotto which was really fun for adults too. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back when in the area. There is also a train which will take you to the castle area to avoid the 20 walk- we chose to just take it back.

We came for an overnight stay.The Castle is well worth a visit. It's set in beautiful, well kept grounds. The Castle is very well kept, clean and quite spacious. My wife has mobility issues, so we couldn't climb any stairs in the Castle. We saw enough of history and how the other half live. There are interactive guides, toilets and a shop.. If you have mobility issues you may struggle, parts of the ground are a little hilly. We didn't get the boat across the lake because where you landed, was at the bottom of a hill, and difficult for some people to walk up to the attractions. You can walk to the attractions, but the walk is up a hilly pathway.The day parking is near to the entrance, it is a long walk to the Castle, you can ride the Land Train to the Castle. Plenty of toilets, and places to get food and drink. All the Guides in the Castle, were very knowledgeable, friendly and polite.

Lovely day at Leeds Castle today it is beautiful. Went arround the Castle and outside, watched a bird of prey display. The grounds are vast with beautiful lakes there is crazy golf a large play area for children and a large maze.Didn't get to go in the maze as time ran out so much to do for the whole family. Will definitely visit again and again as now I paid entry the ticket last for a yr. Well worth the ticket price.A lovely start to the new year

I've been here many times. Every time I went the castle looks different.Handicap services are excellent. A bus will bring you up to the castle if you're not able to walk long distances. Unfortunately my mum couldn't get to the top floor in the castle due to her handicap. They offer a video about the castle as an alternative. My mum was very pleased with that.There are so many things to do. Well worth the money.Make sure you register you're ticket when you buy it. It will give you a chance to come back for free for a whole year.

Superb castle & beautiful gardens situated in a majestic location- surrounded by a scenic moat. But...Outrageous entry fee (£35) at times of economic crises ! Visitors showed their approval...with their feet- not many there- in July- peak times ! TIP: if you travel by train- look online for '2for1' entry. Sooo glad we did...& didn't get our pockets burned...

Beautiful castle to visit! Get your walking shoes on because it’s quite a walk from the parking area to the castle. It’s a lovely walk though through the gardens. Just beautiful. They do have a mobility bus for those that need it. There is a well laid out, self guided tour. Enjoy!

What a lovely picturesque castle. Great stories from the past and staff are very friendly. The massive garden is amazing and you can explore for a whole day. It’s great if you have kids as they will run endlessly in the garden.We were told that it’s not a dog friendly and only guild dog allowed as we were thinking of bringing our dog. But when you get inside the grounds you will see a lot of people have their dogs in. Don’t understand.

Fabulous! Very well thought through and kids friendly. In fact kids centred. Dog bone hunt in the castle. Amazing play area. Oh, and the castle and grounds are beautiful, chocolate box ++. Definitely worth the entry fee.

A wonderful attraction for all ages. There are acres of wonderfully manicured lawns. Get the children, or adults, to feed the ducks on the way to the castle. It has interactive exhibits & free audio tours. Then, walk to see the Falconry area, play on the artificial beach. Loose yourself in the maze, then grab a bite to eat.Your ticket gives you year-long access, so you can go again to see the bits you couldn't see the first time! Good value.

Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking castle. Entrance tickets are expensive, but this place is worth every penny. The castle, gardens, the lake , the maze, and a massive playground for kids. Most of the views are scenic. There is a wonderful restaurant with a big terrace. The view of the castle is stunning.

Leeds Castle is just a fantastic place to visit. There is a huge amount to do on the site and you can easily spend a day, or a weekend, there. As well as the castle there is a children’s adventure playground, mini golf, falconry, Go Ape, Segway tours, punting on the lake, the gardens, a maze and plenty of eating opportunities. There are also various options to stay on site overnight.The gardens and setting were just glorious and staying overnight meant we were not rushed so we could actually wander and enjoy the peace when most of the day visitors had left.The interior was largely focused on the castle as a 1920’s social retreat for Lady Baille, the woman who bought and restored the castle to its current state. There was also an AV display on the various queens that had lived in the castle but I’d have liked to have seen more on the castle history as a whole.

Absolutely beautiful grounds with lots of birds and water to see. The castle is magnificent and a must see. Your ticket, once purchased, is valid for a year. You can return as often as you like within that year.

One of my favourite places to visit. Great that one ticket gets you a year round visit.Stunning views and great weather we had. Love the gardens and the views fr afar of the castle. Pick a sunny day and you won't be disappointed.Great to see that the castle has switched it up a little and is moving with the times. They have a wonderful feature of all the women that have reigned at the castle and it was fantastic to see and read about it all.If you're looking for something to do for firework night too. I would highly recommend here as it's spectacular and this would be our 5th visit for fireworks. It doesn't get old.

Really nice place to visit and such a variety of things to do and see. The reason I dropped it stars is we live a fair distance away and whilst if you can visit a few times in a year it offers value for money £95 for two adults and a child is a bit much. Loved the house/castle, maze and birds of prey displays. Well worth a visit if you can make it there a few times in a year.

Beautiful and well-preserved castle. Stunning interior. Alarms everywhere. It's definitely worth a visit. The premises are gorgeous too. Beautiful and well maintained gardens. After closing hours, when staying at the courtyard, you're allowed to wander around. Great. No people cluttering your photos. The best spot for sunset pictures is the golf court. But golfers will not be pleased if you wander there.

We came by coach and were looking forward to coffee and cake but they had run out of milk and cakes. Had a lovely day looking at Narnia Christmas in the castle. We thought we would look at the maze and have a game of crazy golf, unfortunately these finished at 2.30 and 3pm so we were told to go back and had to stand in the cold till the light trail started at 4.30. Although we had a lovely day, the castle could do with better time and supplies management. Perhaps a cafe at the entrance where you could wait in the warm and dry.

Visited the house for the Narnia experience. Castle and grounds stunning. Lots of water fowl and landscaped gardens. Castle was great - if a bit crowded due to the kids holidays. We stayed at the castle for our Wedding anniversary and got entry free - but a great venue.

This was the first spot that we visited on our UK trip and we were just mesmerised. We had a day trip so were a little rushed because we had Canterbury cathedral and Cliffs of Dover also on the same day.The surroundings are just surreal, so much natural beauty and serenity I can not explain through words.The castle itself is not that huge but is very well maintained and beautiful. The historical significance and the surrounding natural beauty makes this a must visit place if you are visiting UK.

Amazing place. So many things to do inside.We saw the castle and inside. They had very cool bird show. They also had a mini golf. They have an amazing maze which is fun to try. Place is so cool green and beautiful. They also have places to eat inside. overall great place to go and have a fun day.

Beautiful 12th century castle and gardens. Lots of history and places to visit for the kids. It deserves a 5 star rating for the wow factor but sadly it’s let down by the prices, lack of attention to detail for customer service and general poor quality food and refreshments plus the almost negligent attitude towards making the venue accessible and inclusive for people with limited mobility or disabilities. A visit is recommended but I wouldn’t rush back as the venue is very expensive (£100 entry for a family of 4), poor signage, no discounts for senior citizens and no help for people who have limited mobility.

We visited Leeds Castle on 6/26/24 and spent the day exploring the castle and its grounds. The entrance tickets for a family of 5 came to around $160. We attempted to reserve a spot at the glamping site, but unfortunately, it was fully booked. Instead, we turned it into a day trip. Walking towards the castle, we strolled through beautiful gardens and read plaques detailing the history of the castle and its previous inhabitants. Inside the castle, we toured various rooms showcasing the castle's evolution over time. The rooms were decorated in a mix of styles, mostly from the 20th century. There were snack shops and a restaurant available on-site. We attempted the Maze, but found it too challenging for both kids and adults, especially without any shade on a hot day. However, we stumbled upon the underground grotto, which provided a much-needed break from the sun and featured impressive statues. Next, we visited the Knights Stronghold, a fantastic playground designed like a castle with multiple levels, bridges, slides, and more. As a fan of medieval history, I was slightly disappointed by the castle's modern touches, but the kids' activities, including the maze, were truly exceptional. A perfect destination for families with children!

Good value. Now that the tickets are valid for a whole year. The grounds are vast and gardens are pretty. The maze is challenging and the audio tour for the castle is also interesting.

A must visit Castle, perfect for the whole family! When we went, it was overcast and windy, and it had rained the night before, so some outdoor areas were muddy in parts, but despite this, we had such fun. The only thing that was hugely disappointing was the food in the Castle Restaurant, terrible food at expensive prices, avoid and bring your own packed lunch. So much to see and do, castle grounds are beautiful, a really fun hedge maze with a very cool grotto in the centre, historic castle, playgrounds, boat trip, little train ride, a mini beach, birds of prey, Easter trail activity and mini golf. In the summer it would be perfect and as our tickets last a year, we will definitely be back.

Best audio tour of all the castles in England. Castle was stunning and the audio system starts automatically as you move from room to room. Grounds are well kept and the visit is well worth the time.Many families picnic here and despite many people it didn’t feel crowded

Had an overnight stay with dinner & breakfast for my birthday treat. Fell in love with the place and it trumps my previous favourite Royal retreat Hampton Court. We uograded to stay in the Maiden's Tower and were given the bridal suite. The room and views were gorgeous!! Dinner was great as was breakfast the next morning. The staff were warm and welcoming and made us feel really special during our stay. Will definitely be going back (fancy staying at one of the lodges overlooking one of the lakes) and would highly recommend staying here for a memorable experience!

We went on an overcast Wednesday, it was lovely to have a good walk around with not too many people around. The castle is well set out. We had fun trying to find the centre of the maze.We then went to look at the various owls, eagles and hawks, which are all named after cars.Then off for a quick game of mini golf at £3.50 per adult, it was very reasonable and fun.All In all an excellent day.

Breathtaking! Try to switch phone to plane mode & just try to connect with nature, beautiful surrounding of the castle & lovely nature. Definetely coming soon again! Annual ticket gives you great place to relax & slow down for a moment!Absolutely worth every penny!!

Amazing day out, would thoroughly recommend to anyone, especially families. The gardens are beautiful, you can feed the ducks, the audio as you're going round the castle is engaging even for kids, good restaurant, ferry, land train, maze and grotto, fantastic adventure playground, falconry, giant sandpit, kids' obstacle course, adventure golf... we all had an absolutely brilliant time! I wish we lived nearer so we could return sooner! I'd recommend going for 4-5 hours, for all ages.

Leeds Castle is a great place to visit. Especially for families. It has something for everyone. History and education for the adults and a phenomenal playground and activities for the kids. Just a beautiful place all around. The restaurant is really good as well.

Leeds Castle is a stunning historical landmark with picturesque gardens and a rich history. Visitors often praise its well-preserved architecture, beautiful grounds, and engaging exhibitions. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, or simply enjoying a peaceful day out, Leeds Castle offers something for everyone.

I’ve been to Leeds Castle a few times, incredible history behind this castle!Fireworks is fantastic event, however it’s usually sells out fast.Christmas lights event is lovely, especially on a dry evening. The walk around the grounds is pleasant, well kept and maintained.Hopeful to stay in the castle itself one day, as heard this is a great experience.

OK, firstly I thought the tickets were expensive at £35 for an adult. However, if you buy them online, it's £31.50 AND it's an annual ticket ( go as often as you like!)Staff are friendly and helpful.LOTS of parking (free of charge)Not just a castle, there's tons for all ages. Playgrounds, mini golf, segways, boat on lake, little train rides, sand "beach" play area, beautiful gardens, a maze, birds of prey, falconry show (2pm today, it was brilliant!), there was children's entertainment and an Easter trail today, and of course the castle.Get the audio guide (multiple language options) it's free.Cafe, restaurant, ice cream parlour... or bring a picnic to have next to the lake (it did cost £4 for a box of fries, although they were delicious and a decent size portion!)Lots of seating. Multiple toilets that were really clean.Quite a lot of walking, so wear comfy shoes!Wheelchair accessible.Would highly recommend.

I love visiting Leeds Castle and its stunning grounds. A beautiful Old English Castle and the tress are truly epic.Buying one ticket and having access all year is also a huge bonus, with the groundskeepers always up for a laugh.Would recommend to anyone who enjoys nature and the outdoors.

We love visiting this place. Great for a walk in the grounds and a picnic. A lovely castle and the play areas in the grounds are fantastic for kids.If mobility is an issue you can use the little train to get you to the castle.

I came twice. First I bought the tickets and it is one per ride any ride so no complications. Second I got a band as it means all twice completely paid for. The staff were enthusiastic the whole time and had good banter for the day and kept the joy of the day going with not one going to a phone each keeping engaged with what's going on.Would recommend for the day as it is a mix of big rides and children's thst adults can still go on so great for a family

We had a great day out at Adventure Island. Entry is free. However, it is recommended to buy the day wristband if possible online as it's much cheaper (yesterday it was 28 in the ticket office but 20 online). Single ticket rides are £3.5. Lots of rides to go on, kids get measured in the entrance and if they are over 120cm they can ride on their own. Under 120cm they will need an adult but the adult will go in the rides for free. Lots of food places inside too.

Kids loved it every moment, they had an incredible time at Adventure Island! From thrilling rides to delicious food, it exceeded my expectations. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the park was clean and well-maintained, with no more than 10 minutes waiting time for the rides.I can't wait to visit again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Don’t go on the Ferris wheel if you afraid of heights, they will keep you on and think it’s funny. It broke down while we at the top! Not cool!Kids had fun, the rest of it was good, so a good day out.Great business model, designed to make you spend money. Will go back to invest in south-end council😂Paid £5 for a digital image of my “happy face” on rage. Image quality was quite poor, they can improve this aspect, if they take my review as positive feedback.

I took my young baby there to the soft play play stack area and she loved it. She enjoyed going through the obstacles, the slides and really loved the ball pit that she didn't want to leave!!!There's a cafe, arcade stuff for the adults which all the adults enjoyed doing whilst i was inside with my baby.Definitely a must for any parentsWe went at new years so there was lots of Christmas decorations which were all beautiful and my baby enjoyed looking at them!!

Was a great day out that we all loved and would love to do again. Atmosphere was great and lots of different rides for adults and kids, even some calmer rides for smaller kids. Some nice places to get food & drink also. Not too long waiting in queues apart from a couple of popular rides.A thoroughly great day

It's nice to enter and walk around without having to pay an entry fee. We walked around on a Thursday and it wasn't too busy but got there too late to purchase tickets to get our money's worth. However on the Friday , a public holiday, we decided we will do the half price from 5pm and we had til 10 pm closing time. The park was very busy throughout the day with queues. By the time we got our tickets, the rides were getting less busy which was great. We got to ride each roller coaster at least twice. Rage is the most adult one and though I don't like a full drop, I went on it twice, cause why not. The queues were short. By 9pm we were cold and had enough. But it was time well spent and so much fun.

Not necessarily a place for adults, but children go crazy when here. I took my students on a school trip to Adventure Island, and they had a blast. They ran, they rode, they sang, and they enjoyed every second of the trip.The place has some fast-food options to eat and many sweets available.A big shout out to the call centre team that made the booking system very easy, and they supported me all the way. Thank you!I think AI is a great place for any school trip.

Great small park that appeals to both older thrill seekers and younger families. Could definitely do with a few more thrilling attractions. I would love to see a new rollercoaster but it's great as it is.Be aware some rides advertised on the website are removed or not open (including their biggest ride time machine), plus it's unclear on how to buy tickets online.

Wish I could give six stars to bring their rating up. Let's start with the good the park is well set out with loads to do for the kids and grown ups alike. Paid for wristbands in advance to save a few quid but even at the gate price they are fantastic value. All the food outlets we tried were great well priced and well staffed. The park was clean and tidy. Now let's move onto the bad.... There was non just even better I have always said the right staff can make a good place great and the excellent staff here make this already great place absolutely fantastic. Every member of staff where working a stall, food outlet, ride or even just walking around all had a smile on their faces on both of our visits. Interacting with the kids when on rides often dancing at the side honestly if you have any bad staff they were hidden on both these days. My at the end of the 1st visit my son came to me and said "we are definitely going here again the staff are lovely" now on our 2nd visit my mam has just said "the staff on this site are unbelievable so happy and helpful". Keep doing what you are doing.

Visited on 5th May, expecting it to be very busy as it was a beautiful day. And it was!! However queue times were fantastic! Don’t think we waited more than 10 minutes, kids went on multiple rides, really got our moneys worth! I purchased tickets online beforehand so they were £20 each for the whole day, however will be buying the annual pass as it will be well worth it for summer!

I visited Adventure Island and saw a variety of rides. I tried to enter a ride at 4:50 pm, but their closing time is 5 pm, and it seems they stop selling tickets before 4:30 pm. I was disappointed not to experience any rides. Make sure to arrive early to enjoy the adventures

Oooh Wow it was a beautiful experience, an amusem*nt park with lots of amazing rides, scary and mild ones, we had so much fun and a lot to eat to, and just by sea, you can have picnics at the sea shore, as at evening the tide had gone down and the water at the banks had gone back to the sea, we could even walk on the sea beds and pick shells. I will sure visit again in the future, it was fun with the children and adults alike.

We weren't too sure what to expect from here (picture thoughts of typical seaside amusem*nt parks) but we were pleasantly surprised.The entry was quite expensive (£22.50) but the super saver wrist band worked out good value if you try enough of the rides. Take your child's Blue Peter badge if they have one for 2-4-1 entry.Unlike normal theme parks, it's very easy to come and go as you please so easy to pop out for food (plenty of options within 2 minute's walk). The facilities inside the park didn't get great reviews.We visited on Halloween weekend and the staff were really getting into the spirit!Plenty of places to park nearby, but the Royal's shopping centre seemed particularly good value.Rides are good for all ages. Lots of amusem*nts, facilities and also a mini golf course (though this costs extra).All in all, a good fun day out.

I have really enjoyed my time over there . It's a small heaven for kids .. all the fun games and rides seem really enjoyable..I had a fun time just watching all those kids enjoying themselves. It felt like it was reducing my by with their joyfulness. And the nearby Pier gave me a peaceful walking experience. I will definitely go there in Summer In sha Allah .

Great local fun park. A few good teen/young adult rides. More aimed at primary school age. I observed that security and other staff were friendly & professional. Lots of fun to be had, especially with a day wristband pass. The bonus was the good weather. 22°C.I'd advise taking a packed lunch. Hour long queue for food. The queue was chaos. It started out as three single orderly lines to each order point but slowly became a morrass of bodies pushing in, that melded into a formless crowd clamouring for overpriced hotdogs, burgers (3 mm thick), chicken nuggets or vegetable wedges. The servers were working so hard but the quality of what they're working with is IMHO substandard. The price doesn't bear any relation to what you receive. I had two bites of the hotdog with onion, mild mustard & ketchup but could eat no more. I reminded me of the 1970s. The kids were disappointed too. They're not snobs but can detect a rip off very well. If you have a severe food allergy, have coeliac disease or are a vegan, be very cautious. Call them up when planning to visit.Having said all that, I still recommend the park for a few hours. Queues for rides varied between a few minutes to a ½ an hour, so not too bad.The park is split in two by the pier. A passage takes you under the pier, past an amusem*nt arcade and into the part with the more adventurous rides.Have fun!

Great place to take the kids. Adults go on free with any kids under 110cm which meant it was a cheap day out with a wristbandKids had a particularly great time as we timed our visit to a superhero day and the staff engaged our children with genuine enthusiasm.Only let down was the food situation, tasteless but at a reasonable price compared to many places along the seafront.Buy tickets in advance (save £8 per daily wristband if bought online in advance... )

Went on public holiday, the wrist band is worth it as you can go on all the rides and depending on how busy it gets you can go on some rides more then once. You can purchase online and save or you can purchase wrist band on the day. If the adventure land is open until 10:30 you can get the wrist band half price after 5pm. You can purchase individual tickets which works out £3.50 for a ride if you know your little on or your self is just going on one or two rides. It’s a great idea to measure your little one hight so you know exactly how much rides they can go on.They have wheelchair friendly rides.Staff are amazing and full of energy which is always a great bonus.They have drinks and snack which you can purchase.Toilet are available, you may need to wait in a queue depending on how busy it gets.They have arcade play, you do need to pay separate for that.Car parking available near the resort how ever it can get really busy, after 6pm parking is free.This is over all a good place for family and children to enjoy.In holidays it can get busy but I think they manage it well. The wait time for rides wasn’t bad at all, the longest I had to wait for a ride was 20 min. Which is reasonable considering it was packed.

1. Good value for children and families2. Can spend the whole day3. Indoor ride is good for younger children and have soft play4. Annual pass is a must

What a great amusem*nt park. Lots of rides for all ages. You can pay for just a single ride but if you want a few rides it’s best to get a wristband. They also have clean toilets and some food outlets. It’ll take you half a day if you want to go on all the rides. Enough extreme rides to keep older kids happy too.

Wonderful fun for all ages and weather. A day pass is £28 (or £14 after 5pm), but if you book online it's only £20! 😃 A year's pass is great value at £56 if you'll visit more than twice. Lots of fun rides to keep the kids amused, plenty of places to sit, eat and drink, and toilets around the area

A very nice place to spend time with family. A great place for kids with wide range of activities for every age. My toddler loved it in here.

If you’re going for the whole day, get tickets online. It’s cheaper. However if going after 5 get on the till. Entry is free. But u need either wrist bands or individual ride tickets to go in the rides. The opening and closing hours are updated daily so make sure to check the website. The website is quite informative and easy to navigate. We had a lot of fun in all the rides and there are some good spots to eat in and around the adventure island.

Great fun for all the family. Lots of rides for big and little kids. Big wheel, roller coaster etc. Lots of staff/security around too if you need them. Plenty of food options. A good place to visit even on a grey day.

Great day out with the kids and the tickets are excellent value for money. Be sure to arrive early because if the sun is shining, you can expect it to get pretty busy come the afternoon. We arrived at 11am and got the popular rides done first.My only gripe, hence the four stars, is the price of food and drink which are as bad as places like Thorpe Park and Chessington. Variety is also poor. So take a picnic and you’ll be sure to leave with a smile and a few extra pennies in your pocket.Save a tenner by purchasing tickets in advance online.

This place offers fantastic fun for both kids and adults. Normally, I tend to avoid such places due to long queues, but when we arrived around 11:30 on a Sunday morning, there were no queues at all. The staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly, and there's a wide variety of enjoyable rides to keep you entertained all day.What's even more impressive is that it's very budget-friendly.

Great fun, £3.50 for 1 token, 1 token for any ride. No entry fees.

Got a lot cheaper since 2017, used to be £40 for a wristband to go on all rides (depending on your height) now is only £20. There is atleast 2 rides for every kind of thrill seeker. Gentle ones and the rough ones. I'm horrible at rides but still could go on 4 of them. Bathrooms are clean. I only have 2 pictures of from the day .Faces blurred as I dont want to post any strangers😁. Love coming here!Staff is so fun and great. They secure your seats and are so kind, hyping you up before the ride starts with smiles. The two staff on Sunday 16.06.24 working on Barnstormer really make your day. Hyping us up for another round on the ride is great and saying goodbye when we left the ride. They were very kind!

it takes 30 to 40 minutes from London. this is not like a beach but it is very close to London. If you want pass your day it will be very recommended. I went in the evening time the weather was not good enough. That’s why my experience was not too good but sea is nice and one thing is you can go with your family and your kids there were funfair as well ticket was overpriced. I’m rating to the sea 3 out of 5.

Good selection of rides and activities, lots of fun for all the family.

Variety of rides available with comparatively low waiting period. Totally worth it with full day pass. Park staff is also nice, they interact with kids on ride and keep them engaged.

Superb way to spend a whole day with a little one. Plenty of rides and stuff to do throughout the park for an entire day out. Plenty of places to buy food from and somewhat ok seating areas. The place does get quite crowded during busy times and some ride queues have waits of upwards of 10-20 minutes for only like 3 minutes rides. Superb atmosphere and i like that the place also has an "indoor" area where there's soft play and some arcade games in case the weather is not suitable. Parking is a different story as they don't have dedicated parking places so you will have to either find a car park or street parking. Nearby theres loads of them but during busy times it gets quite crowded.

Had a wonderful time with our little one there. we went there over the weekend so the place was a bit crowded, however that was to be expected when the weather was nice and sunny. Some rides had a bit of a queue ( around 10-20 minutes wait), but it was worth it for our little one.Plenty of food to grab and i would say more than ok seating areas to sit and relax over a cup of coffee/tea.No parking available there, so you would need to find either road parking or look for pay and display parking spots around.It was great to see that they also have an indoor play area (soft play) and some arcade games in case the weather is not playing nice.Overall great day out and we had loads of fun.

went down there on 5th may again and vertigo was open hope this vids help I love this place.....went down there a couple weeks ago Extremely good place suitable for any age and for rainy weather there is an Indoor place with a play area a swinging boat and more you can get an annual pass for 60 pounds and all you have to do is show them and you go in for free there are a lot of places to get food and drink And a day pass is 20 pounds hope this helps

Wonderful place for a weekend out with or without kids - we come every year for the Spring half-term. Excellent value for money - we bought annual ticket last year which lasted throughout half-term 2023 and 2024. Last year our kid was just under 120cm so I chaperoned her to all rides she could go for free, and this year since she's over 120cm she could try many more rides by herself. Only two rides she couldn't go because of the further (fair) restriction (130cm or 10 years old) so we might be returning next year.After 5pm all rides are half-price so on the first day our friends saved £15 and bought the day ticket for £15 only.Food options are standard for the seafront towns - fish and chips, burgers, nuggets, hot dogs - the rest is sweet stuff, nothing healthy, of course. But ok for a couple of days out, we bought our veggies in Tesco's and Sainsbury's. Apparently they don't sell sparkling water on-site, in case anyone wondered.The variety of rides is amazing, there's definitely something for everyone of any age and taste. Even when it's raining there's lots to do under the roof. Toilets next to each of the entrances to the park. Obvious queueing present but not as bad as in Legoland etc. - normally on a very busy weekend day you get onto a ride within 8-10 min tops. Of you're coming on a weekend, consider buying tickets in advance or come early. On a school day it's very easy to purchase the tickets on-site.Overall great experience, would recommend to all.

It was so good to visit there. I was just planning to go to the beach & I never thought that there would be a place like this adventure island. Me & my brother went there it was so much fun since we don't have a lot of money we just went to 2 rides but it was sooo freaking good. Each ride will cost you £3.75 but if you want to try all the rides then you should get a wrist band which will cost you only £30 for the whole day (you can go any ride for unlimited time) you can also get the yearly pass if you wish to. My brother & I enjoyed a lot, planning to come over again to try all the games😉❤️

What a brilliant day out for the whole family!We spent 7 hours here! There really is so much to do, so many animals to see.A few lovely little parks also.Plenty of toilets around.A few different places to stop for food or drinks.

A great day, we all preferred the second half of the zoo where the bigger animals were kept as it was a lot more open, less cramped and less slopes. Overall there was a great selection of animals to see and things to do for all ages. Took us all day to soak it all up without really stopping to eat. Feeding the giraffes was definitely the highlight for me and the Komodo dragons talk was the highlight for my daughter

Even though it's 3+ hours drive, it's a lovely zoo to visit.Few new things since we last visited.Great exhibits, and they're all built with the animals' welfare as first thought.Not good for people who are motility impaired due to the hilly nature, but most of it's still accessible.Definitely worth visiting.

I'm going to go out on a whim and say this is the best zoo I have ever been to in the UK, the staff are amazing, the animals have fantastic enclosures and it's actually a full days trip, it took my wife 2 year old daughter and I almost 4 and a half hours to walk around the zoo and see everything which was amazing, the dinosaur valley was great fun and the train was lovely, again I really can't fault this place if we didn't live so far away I would 100% be becoming a member.Your kids will love it there is plenty of play grounds and activities to keep them going as well as Animals I mean come one how great.The food and drink options are also well placed and good quality.

An absolutely wonderful zoo. We visited on a cold March day, yet the welcome was very warm. Lovely the way you wander round. The animals have plenty of privacy but you also get great views. The tiger enclosure seemed so natural. The edge of Africa was so well laid out. Highly recommended

An enormous zoo just 40 min outside of London! A great place to spend a day! It’s kid-friendly. Buy tickets in advance. We also tried one of the experiences available - feeding the elephants. It was definitely worth it. You should try one too! There are plenty of restaurants and cafes. The gift shop is big and full of interesting things to buy as a souvenir. The parking lot is enormous and it’s part of your ticket so no worry. There are also free tours available in different section throughout the day - look at the map at the beginning of your journey. Dive in the interactive activities that are free of charge!

My daughter bought me a Zookeeper for the Day experience. We came yesterday. Loved every minute of it. Keeper's are so friendly and knowledgeable and great to see how proud and caring they are for their animals.Would recommend this for anyone who loves animals, and wants to work with animals. Thank you all so much for a very memorable day.

This zoo provides a great family fun day out! We all enjoyed our experience. There are various different types of animals and so much to see. You definitely need the whole day to explore. There are also lots of fun play areas for little ones which is fantastic! The zoo itself is huge and takes a while to get around. They also have a free train service incorporated within the zoo that allows anyone to get on and go on a short tour with the guide. The toilets are well maintained and clean. The feeding facilities for babies are also amazing. There are plenty of shops around and lots of sitting areas, perfect to bring your own food and enjoy too!

Tickets for 2 adults and 1 child about £80 so if you can use your Tesco points. The big zoo , can see a lot of different animals. The place has cafes , a playing area, an activity area for kids or you can bring your own food, gift shops , ice- cream cafe, toilets). Better to start exploring from the left side ( less people so you can enjoy a nice walk+ not long to wait for the train, usually later there will be a long queue). Kids can feed goats -goat food costs £1 but it's really fun.Usually it takes all day to walk around the zoo so make sure you have comfy shoes.

I visited for the newly added Pygmy Hippo experience and this was a great experience. As well as being informative, I was able to get really close to Venus, feed her fruit and help prepare her enclosure. My keeper was great, deeply cared about all the animals on his section (Giraffe) and spoke about how Venus will be enriched by this new experience as she has recently lost her partner, Freddy.The zoo is fantastic, so much for adults and children to do. I went during the week, which was really quiet, but would I really loved is that all the animal talks proceeded even though I was the only one there. Each staff member waited at the meeting point and happily invited questions.Ate in the food outlets and prices were very reasonable. Breakfast roll was under £4 and cooked freshly for you. Great range of vegan treats and loads for the children to do. Will definitely be returning!

Had a great day out at the zoo. Plenty to keep all ages entertained for hours. Special mention for Paul who was one of the guides on the train. How he can keep telling the guests about all the animals and telling jokes whilst having to hurd us off on and off the train and through the enclosure without having a melt down is amazing. Keep up the good work.Overall I can't fault anything about my visit. Highly recommend and I will be visiting with the kids again soon.

Even with a wet and rainy day the Zoo was still very good. The staff are all nice and polite. A gold pass holder has a lot of good benefits. Kids love the soft play area which is free but need to book a place in advance as it gets fully booked quickly.

Great zoo, with a lovely environment. The animals have space and the staff are knowledgeable. Lots of different types of animals here. Great play area for children too. Many area for picnic throughout the zoo and various restaurants /ice cream booths etc. Toilets also well dotted around the zoo. The shop was huge and the souvenirs are quite reasonable for this type of place. A child could get an animal figure(small plastic) for 50 p, or the smallest soft toys were 5.99.

Fantastic day out, even my 16yo & 18 yo daughters enjoyed it. Booked tickets online which was easy . We also booked the giraffe 🦒 & elephant 🐘 feeding experiences, which was definitely money well spent. We went 19/04/22 . Spacious zoo, one of the best that I’ve ever visited. Arrived 9:45 stayed until 5pm . All the animals seemed happy in their environment which was kept clean. Download the App onto your phone as a map etc . Can’t fault this place, even the toilets 🚽 were clean. The staff were helpful that worked there

We had a lovely day out. We got there early and did need the full day (10:30-17:45) We had two children under four and a baby, the toddlers loved it! They are both good happy walkers, so if your child doesn't like walking too much you will need a push chair. Lots of hills, but lots of benches everywhere.All the animals were easy to see and all looked happy and healthy.The train ride was fantastic, a queue to get on however they had two trains running. Well worth it as you then walk through the lemur enclosure.Indoor play area was fantastic, they had timed slots, so book ahead. As it's at the start of the park, either do it first thing or last. If you go in the middle of the day you'll be going backwards and forwards.We didn't know the birds that you can feed stop being fed at 16:00. So make sure you do that before then. Also we found there weren't many toilets, there was a wait each time.All in all a very good day.

Excellent zoo with lots to see, Not the cheapest and often deals on tickets via Groupon/Kids pass (saved over £5 with this one), etc. Includes some farm animals, goats, pigs.Worth checking the times for various talks/feeding times as well. We were lucky enough to see the Otter feeding.

We absolutely love, Colchester Zoo. Lots of talks and interaction.The parakeet feeding part, was new to us and we thoroughly enjoyed it 🙂.It is a shame though, as years ago, you could queue and feed the Giraffes and Elephants. But you now have to pay extra for that. But I appreciate that it can't be cheap to keep a zoo going, especially in this economy and they do a lot to help support wild animals, so it's all worth it 😊.

A brilliant day out with the family on my return visit after quite a few years.Very busy bankholiday Monday, which added to the atmosphere.Plenty of parking with entry being managed very well and efficiently without queues.Place was very clean, well designed, and easy to get around.Plenty of cafes, food outlets and ice cream Stores to keep family happy.Most importantly the big 5 were out and not hiding🦁🐯🦒🐘🦏

The best zoo I have been too. Lots of animals, lots of play parks scattered around the zoo, a train ride around some of the park into an up close visit into the ring-tailed lemur exhibit. Food seems a little pricey but that's no different to any other place.

We have the yearly pass great value for money.Great Zoo all animals look like they are kept very well.Had the chicken pieces and chips great value for money large portions and free sauces as much as you want.Land train is great fun close up and personal with the ring tailed lemas.A must visit well done to all involved.Great day out.

We visited Colchester zoo today(15/01/24) for the extraordinary experience full day for my son’s Christmas present and it went far beyond expectation. From start to finish you are met with a wealth of knowledge of the animals and zoos history while having special encounters with the animals. You are well catered for the day during your experience making the day care free. Our host Amanda was so knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make the day amazing as was all the keepers we met through out the day. The care and passion the team have here for the animals is very evident. Experience was true value for money while the memories you keep from it especially for my son!

The staff are always so happy and friendly.The Billy-Joe walk is very emotional. This is a zoo that truly loves their animals and you can feel the love for their animals - especially the ones they’ve had to say goodbye to. The enclosures are always clean, happy animals, very social! We love going here and will continue to support the zoo due to their caring nature. The orangutan was my favourite. She was swinging around, playing with cardboard, coming up and inspecting people.Thank you for always being fantastic and putting animals first!

I absolutely loved this place... one suggestion for anyone visiting for the first time is to book tickets in advance and secondly is to visit the zoo as soon as it opens. Trust me, even a whole long day is not enough to properly witness all the beautiful animals.

Lovely zoo but hard for these with any limitations on walking due to the constant up and downs of the steep slopes. Not the easiest of places to navigate around but still enjoyable. Park for the kids was a hit.I do think a few more drinking water points would be helpful and some more signs to navigate the zoo.

This is a fantastic zoo. The animals and enclosure are really well kept. Safe are friendly and helpful. Talks are good although unless you are interested in animal knowledge then you should give them a miss. It is a big place and takes a good full day to get round everything properly. The play parks and great and plentiful and the food and drinks are actually reasonably priced but there is plenty indoor and outdoor picnic areas if you want to take your own. Really enjoyed the day out and for anyone with kids it's a must!

Wonderful zoo with an amazing collection of animals, some of which we've not seen anywhere else. Slightly convoluted layout so it is easy to miss exhibits if you're not following a map, but there are lots of friendly staff around to help. The train was an excellent idea too. Food and drinks are readily available, varied and reasonably priced and there were many great talks throughout the day too. All in all, a fab day out, and we will definitely be going back.

I recently visited Colchester Zoo and was thoroughly impressed. The zoo is exceptionally well-maintained, with clean enclosures and well-kept grounds. The animals appeared healthy and well-cared for, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The diverse range of species and the educational exhibits made the experience both enjoyable and informative. Overall, Colchester Zoo offers a fantastic day out for all ages.

Lovely family day out. Plenty of toilet facilities. Zoo well maintained and staff friendly. Please note the Zoo has lots of steep inclines but is wheelchair friendly. I would recommend advanced booking a mobility scooter as it is worth the money to make your day as enjoyable as possible

4* stars better than London zoo, Colchester Zoo is a really lovely day out. We went the weekend before late may bank holiday, and it wasn't overcrowded, no real lineups even for the train, and could walk around with relative ease. Saw a lot of animals that are usually hiding, but where have the African Hunting Dogs gone? Enclosures like those for the Andean Condor looked significantly undersized (one of them looked like he/she wanted to take off, but definitely one of the better zoos I have been to recently.

The best zoo in the UK, book your tickets now if your not sure, you'll not be disappointed. Loads of free parking, free soft play (45mins sessions) amazing range of animals in enormous enclosures, so nice to see happy animals

Absolutely brilliant, staff answer your question. Food to feed the goats, and birds (for one pound). Lovely animals there there's one (maybe two) train there but you have to wait an hour for it (well we did). And at the end of the zoo there are Lego dinosaurs! Will definitely be coming again.

Very well designed and organised. Animals have large enclosures and sometimes that makes it difficult to spot them. But if you are patient you will see them sooner or later. Plenty of children around, especially in strollers - probably for that reason there is like a dozen of cafes where they all eat some snacks. Overall, visit to this zoo is amazing experience and it is probably the best zoo in Europe

Great to come back for a family day out at Colchester zoo. We had a fab day as always. The dinosaur experience was great and very lifelike. Weather was brilliant and lots of animals to see. Be cautious attending on wet days with pushchairs/wheelchairs as there are some steep footpaths both up and down and could prove difficult if wet. Lots of seating areas which was great. And lots of restrooms if with children/babies. We precooked and attended midweek. No que getting in and a simple scanning of the QR code on the email confirmation got us in swiftly nd smoothly.

There are a lot of animals here and some really wonderful exhibits. I'd give it 5 stars but the layout of the zoo is a bit odd and we got turned around a few times. That being said, it is certainly worth a visit! Easy parking as well.

My wife and I visited here for the fourth time and our experiences have only got better. We were welcomed by the staff attending the entrance, and easily located maps of the park. We visited at half nine and therefore weren't surprised when we couldn't see a lot of the external animals. We had a nice stroll through the park looking at the animals we could see and we had intentions on going round the park again. We got some awesome photos and we were extremely lucky with some of them. We had an amazing day and loved seeing how far the park has come from the first time we visited it 7 years ago. While there were refurbishments currently in progress it only makes our next visit even more exciting. I would recommend everyone to see this place at least once and I would also recommend you book online, although you save some money I would also urge you to make a donation while in the park as well. Colchester Zoo always delivers!!!! (Haven't included all the photos but just a few favorites)

I don't particularly like caged animals, however, this zoo has put a lot of thought into each animals enclosure. They are well looked after and even have toys to keep them stimulated. It was a great experience.

I liked this zoo when I came the 1st time ten years ago, it was even better this time round with my kids. The things we liked; The lion roaring at the visitors. Sleeping all day crocodile. The hungry otter sisters. Sensible soft play. Bargain new year tickets. Underwater Anaconda. All the little bush dogs by the train station. Plenty of play parks for a sit down.

Went there on a Friday! Loved it so much, it was relaxing and very interesting!! Great zoo to go to with family and friends, the gift shop had a wide range of products and some items were unreasonably expensive but other prices were great! My favourite area was the one with the Koi fish, they were so gorgeous!!

Had a giraffe keeper experience today. The keepers are very knowledgeable & answered all questions that were asked. Got to feed the giraffes aswell.Takes a while to walk around due to the size of the zoo.Plenty of catering outlets but a bit pricey.The big cats are popular so go see them 1st before it gets busy in those areas.

Sadly on this visit could not go inside the main cathedral because of a private event we could only go to the crypt and the gardens but for a mere £5 it was worth it. You still get to see the stunning architecture of the cathedral from the outside and the crypt has lots of great things to see with such a stunning herb garden. I would recommend that you always check for events before you have you heart set on seeing the cathedral just in case but this was still a lovely option!

Canterbury Cathedral is an absolute marvel of architecture and history, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment you set foot on the grounds, you are transported to another time and place, surrounded by stunning Gothic architecture and steeped in the rich cultural and religious history of England.Every detail of the cathedral is breathtaking, from the intricate carvings and stained glass windows to the soaring vaulted ceilings and meticulously maintained gardens. The sense of peace and serenity that permeates the cathedral is truly awe-inspiring, and I found myself completely absorbed in the beauty and history of the place.The knowledgeable and friendly staff are a testament to the cathedral's commitment to hospitality, and their willingness to share their expertise and passion for the cathedral's history and significance only adds to the overall experience. Whether you are a history buff, a religious pilgrim, or simply a lover of architecture and beauty, Canterbury Cathedral is an absolute must-see destination. I cannot imagine a more perfect way to spend a day than exploring this magnificent cathedral and all that it has to offer.

Beautiful and ancient cathedral. Stunning stained glass windows.. the cathedral is easily accessible from London and a high speed train takes you to Canterbury in about an hour. The cathedral is easy walking distance from the train station and an easy day trip to cover most of the town. Right now there is a quaint little Christmas market in the city Centre that’s fun to visit.

Really nice day out in Canterbury. The cathedral is not the most beautiful in the UK but very impressive with its Romanesque architecture. Plenty to see - took 1.5 hours without audio guide. £17 to get in and that’s an annual ticket which is good value. Kitch will worth a visit too for something for eat.

First visit 07/18/24 ☆☆☆☆ took a bus tour up to Leeds castle, Dover (British War Museum), and Canterbury. Our tour guide, Tom was very nice and the tour overall was enjoyable. However, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND bringing some sort of snacks with you to munch on on the bus. As lunch is not planned or provided. In my opinion, we weren't given enough time in Canterbury. You have to walk through the city to get to the cathedral, which takes up time. You get a quick, maybe ten minutes info session before you are sent out on your own to explore. By the time we got finished looking at the cathedral. We didn't have time for lunch...so we were out from 9am-6:30pm (two hour drive each way) we were starving by the time we got done..There are little cafes at Leeds castle and the War Museum (but if you really want to SEE everything you don't have time to sit and eat). You're also not allowed to bring any hot food (smells), hot drinks (can spill and burn you), or ice cream (sticky melting, messy) on the bus. My mom and sister tried to get some fast McDonald's at Canterbury only to have to leave it behind without even getting it because it took too long and they had to run to the bus, and couldn't take it on the bus. So they wasted money..

Lucky to have visited during a concert rehearsal and viewed the Cathedral with an epic orchestra & choir backing. Such a treat! Absolutely massive Cathedral full of history even for a non religious person as myself the architecture & stained glass are particular highlights. Tickets with gift aid donations are valid for a year of return visits.

Enjoyed the day roaming around Canterbury city center and Canterbury Cathedral. Although we had visited before, this time we went for our 1st boat trip around the canals. Really enjoyed the canal trip. Also enjoyed walking through the Free Libary and Art Gallery in the Oldest building. Enjoyed the Pubs and had a fab meal. Most people & staff were very friendly.

I beautiful old cathedral built in the Romanesque style. It is 1000 years old and absolutely amazing. The acoustics are incredible. A choir was singing and we could hear the songs even in the crypt. The don’t build them like this any more.The cathedral has great history (even a grisly murder) and famous people buried within.You approach the castle through the town of Canterbury, which has lots of shopping and food options. The town and cathedral draw a lot of traffic, so be prepared to wait in the weekends. We rented a car and made the drive ourselves and it wasn’t bad but if the thought of driving on the wrong side of the road isn’t appealing, there are many tour groups who go to Canterbury.The trip was fun and I would recommend a visit.

A very grand cathedral and easy access for anyone, dog friendly and you pay once and can go free for an entire year. You can buy tickets on entry. Under 18s are free to enter. There's grounds around the cathedral which are nice to have a walk around with it usually being fairly quiet. The streets around the cathedral are slightly busier but filled with cute shops and independent restaurants.

Canterbury Cathedral is an awe-inspiring historic masterpiece that truly takes your breath away with its remarkable architecture and profound sense of history. Stepping inside its ancient walls is an experience that transcends time, leaving you with an overwhelming sense of wonder.The cathedral's architecture is nothing short of amazing. Its soaring spires, intricate stained glass windows, and meticulously carved stone details are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the builders who created this sacred marvel. Every corner of the cathedral holds a piece of history, and the Gothic and Romanesque elements blend seamlessly to create a visually stunning masterpiece.Walking through the cathedral's hallowed halls and cloisters is an experience that words can hardly describe. The weight of centuries of history presses down on you, and you can't help but be moved by the sense of reverence and spirituality that permeates the air. It's a place where time seems to stand still, and you can't help but feel a profound connection to the past.I wholeheartedly recommend visiting Canterbury Cathedral to anyone who has the opportunity. It's not just a place of worship; it's a living testament to human achievement and spiritual devotion. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or simply seeking a moment of reflection, Canterbury Cathedral is an absolute must-see. The feeling you experience when you walk through its old walls is truly unbelievable, and it's an experience that will stay with you long after you've left.

An absolutely beautiful cathedral riddled in such significant history! The staffers at the visitor center are so helpful and kind. Purchase a ticket there (you have to top up £5 for an audio guide) before you head in to the cathedral.The cathedral itself has plentiful stain glass windows and a direct link to how the England church was born.Do note that while strollers/buggies are allowed inside, there are still quite a number of stairs around which require you to carry your stroller/buggy up/down.The crypt was closed in the morning so we went for lunch nearby and came back just in time for it to be open. Photography isn’t allowed in the crypt.

Visited Canterbury Cathedral on a sunny day, January 16, 2024. Paid £17 for an adult ticket, opted for the full experience. Noticed ongoing restoration work, a testament to preservation efforts. The cathedral boasts extensive history; dedicated a few hours to explore, amidst the grey surroundings. The sound of someone playing the organs added a sublime touch, enhancing the overall experience.

We were a bit unsure about buying tickets to enter, but trust me, it's totally worth it! 😊 It's not just the church you get to see; it's the entire surrounding area, including beautiful gardens. Inside, you'll find unique pieces of history displayed in the crypt and picturesque ruins of the former monastery. It took us about an hour and a half to explore everything fully. Plus, it's a UNESCO World Heritage site! 🌟🏛️

No need of booking in advance, well, it's pretty awkward that you need to buy a ticket for going inside the church (17£ per person). This awkwardness is it's an annual ticket but at the same time you may not be going there during the same year, also the map was of 3-4pounds. Apart from that, the cathedral had a splendid view. The architecture is stunning. The glass paintings gets highlighted as the sun rays hits them. The crypt underneath was something new for me and even could find the area was used as a praying section.. Everything had a detailed explanation everywhere. It's also possible to buy gift items like, rosary, glasses, pen, magnets etc. There's a public toilet service outside the cathedral, still inside the premises suitably for the disabled as well. Food and refreshments are also available. There's a beautiful garden in the premises, which itself is another attraction..

It was chilly but sunny weather. Beautiful cathedral, incredibly built and decorated. We had a great historical time and enjoyed. If you do gift aid when you buy the ticket, you can have 1year anytime visiting ticket. Inside out side it took around 2hours for us. It’s worth to pay and visit. Great 👍

Entry fee is £14 for an adult. Absolutely stunning Cathedral. You can almost feel the history! You can have a guided tour or an audio/ media tour. The guides really know their stuff! Or you can just wander on your own. Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon here. Would highly recommend a visit.

Beautiful Cathedral! I was here for a ceremony so didn't get a chance to explore the building but the main sanctuary is beautiful. Quick note, there are no toilets in the Cathedral but they have a very clean washroom in separate building just 3 minutes from the entrance.

Such a stunning Cathedral. We spent around 3 hours inside, there is so much to see and admire. In the Crypt no photos or videos are allowed, and it's a silent prayerful space. One can take photos in the rest of the massive cathedral.There is only a small kiosk for coffee and tea on the property, but so many restaurants and Coffee shops are very close.The Cathedral is undergoing constant restoration and maintenance, parts of it outside were covered by scaffolding. There are some beautifully restored, clean walls where the workmen have already done their magic. The cathedral requires £18,000 per DAY to run, so donations are welcome.

The cathedral is nice looking and the grounds are well maintained. Inside the cathedral the guides are not proactive and don't share information on the site unless prompted (a lot). The day of our visit we saw students graduating, surrounded by their very proud parents. The atmosphere was a little chaotic and but I am sure that this is not usually the case. Whilst viewing an exhibit, there was a fire alarm, I asked the guide if we should leave and where the muster point was. She didn't have an answer. I made the call to evacuate. The fire alarm stopped sounding, so we went back to touring the cathedral. About five minutes later, the alarm sounded again. At this point another of the cathedral's guides came running in and shouting "get out, get out!". The tourists began running. My children were very scared. We CALMLY walked out and when we (again) asked where the muster point was, was told to follow the crowd (!) Unbelievable. We waited until the alarm went off and then when the crowds started piling back in, we asked a guide if we could return. She looked around and said: "I guess so". Upon entering the cathedral, we saw the guide who incited the panic and reminded him that panic causes more accidents. He informed us that the way he behaved this was company protocol!The rest of the visit was spent viewing the cathedral and using Google as my guide. Definitely not worth the money. Particularly, as the staff are not trained in what to do and how to behave in emergencies.

Canterbury is a place where history and modern life coexist harmoniously. It’s a journey through time and a delightful destination for anyone seeking a taste of old-world charm in the UK.Beyond the cathedral, the city’s cobbled streets and medieval buildings create an enchanting atmosphere. The Canterbury Tales attraction brings Chaucer’s tales to life, and you can explore the medieval architecture of Westgate Towers.Finally, Canterbury’s friendly and welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal destination for travelers seeking both history and contemporary experiences. Whether you’re wandering its ancient streets or enjoying a meal in one of its charming restaurants, Canterbury invites you to savor the best of the past and present.Punting tours in Canterbury often take you past several iconic landmarks, including the stunning Canterbury Cathedral, historic buildings, and beautiful gardens.Highly recommended place to visit!

Unmissable experience for first time visitors, it's no coincidence that this has been a site of pilgrimage for over a millennium.The cathedral with it's iconic mixture of centuries of building styles is worth the price of admission on its own, and the daily services, performances and special events make return trips well worth it.Note that an admission ticket is good for a full year.

Amazing Cathedral; spare minimum 2 hours to enjoy . It’s the second time We visited; both times We were accompanied by our dog. Yes; this is a Dog Friendly attraction just for that 5 Stars . We wanted to take the tours they have available but unfortunately they don’t allow dogs on the guided tours . We payed for the audio tour and it was really good and easy to navigate ; they have it available in few languages ( No Spanish ) .All in all very happy with the service and be able to visit an architectural wonder; while visiting Canterbury.

So much to see!The precincts and gardens should not be missed either.So much history to catch up with around the cathedral.Pride of place the story of Thomas Beckett. Also a must see is the Anthony Gormley in the crypt.

We explored Canterbury Cathedral on June 25, 2024. I discovered online that utilizing the English Heritage pass offers the most affordable ticket prices, so we purchased our tickets at the entrance with the pass, receiving a 20% discount. This resulted in a total of $10.20 for our family, which was an exceptional deal. The cathedral boasts remarkable architecture that left us in awe. We were able to visit the crypts, although photography was not allowed in that area. The wait time to enter was under 10 minutes, and the cathedral was not overly crowded. On the main floor, we admired the tombs of the Black Prince and King Henry IV. While I personally found the experience captivating, I must note that it may not be the most child-friendly attraction as there are limited interactive elements. Nevertheless, I highly recommend a visit as the cathedral itself is truly breathtaking.

Amazing Cathedral; spare minimum 2 hours to enjoy and see the entire cathedralEngland’s first Cathedral and one of the most visited historic sites.Paid £17 for an adult ticket. Beautiful and ancient cathedralYou must see when you coming in Canterbury

Beautiful Medieval cathedral with lots to see. Good facilities and helpful staff to answer your questions made it a memorable experience. Quite expensive entrance fee but worth it.

In my life I have visited many cathedrals and this is definitely one of the most impressive ones. I am not a fan of any religious building but this one is worth visiting for its architecture alone.It is not just the cathedral itself but also the many additional rooms etx.

Canterbury Cathedral is not just a building; it's a living testament to over 1,400 years of history, faith, and artistry. Stepping through its grand entrance is akin to stepping into a time machine, transporting you from the modern world to a realm steeped in medieval grandeur and spiritual significance.The sheer scale and intricate details of the cathedral are awe-inspiring. From the soaring Gothic arches and stained glass windows that shimmer with vibrant colors to the Romanesque crypt with its echoing silence, every corner whispers stories of the past. Wandering through the cloisters, with their tranquil gardens and peaceful atmosphere, provides a moment of respite and reflection.Canterbury Cathedral is a must-visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply seeking a unique and uplifting experience. It's a place that resonates with the soul, leaving you with a sense of awe and wonder long after you leave its hallowed halls.

Beautiful cathedral. It’s undergoing a lot of renovation work currently and there are some interesting updates on this around the building. It’s not a very serene space as there are lots of tourists around and about but it is still a vast and impressive space. Be warned lots of steps, it’s quite cold even in the summer and it is very expensive to get in

England’s first Cathedral and one of the most visited historic sites.The entry ticket is valid for over many months, so you can revisit if you keep the entry ticket.Read the daily schedule before visiting, because some of the areas are only open at certain times of the day, there are also some events happening on certain days to be aware of.You can easily spend a couple of hours here. The souvenir store is good, and there are shops and restaurants nearby in the city Centre.

As soon as I entered the cathedral, I was awestruck by its stunning beauty. The intricate details of the architecture were impressive, but what truly caught my attention were the stained glass windows. The vibrant colours and patterns were mesmerising. I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and awe while gazing at them. I must say, the entry fee was worth it for the opportunity to experience such magnificence.

Historical cathedral with some good activities inside. Once you get inside you can see the herb garden, dark room, tombs of ancient people and so on. You also have a prayer room inside. You can spend some time peacefully.

If you have the opportunity to go - do not miss it!If you stay in the Cathedral Lodge you get free entry. We stayed there, but paid an additional £5pp for the tour - and it was absolutely worth it!Our tour guide - Michael Cross - was top notch! Highly recommend!The cathedral is so big and grand, there just aren't the right words to do it justice.Beautiful place - be sure to go!

Our visit to Canterbury Cathedral was nothing short of glorious; every step within its hallowed halls felt like a blessing. As we marveled at the intricate craftsmanship of its Gothic architecture and the ethereal glow of its stained glass windows, we couldn’t help but feel a profound sense of reverence for the centuries of history and faith that permeated the space. It was a pilgrimage of the soul, filled with moments of quiet contemplation and overwhelming gratitude for the opportunity to witness such magnificence.From the tranquil cloisters to the resplendent choir, every corner of Canterbury Cathedral seemed to radiate with a divine presence, enveloping us in a sense of peace and joy that lingered long after our visit had ended.

Canterbury Cathedral is one of the oldest and most famous Christian structures in England.Canterbury Cathedral offers a profound historical and spiritual experience, drawing visitors from all over the world to explore its rich heritage and architectural beauty.Primarily Gothic, with some Romanesque elements.

It features high ceilings and magnificent stained glass windows.It is advisable to purchase tickets in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons.Photography is allowed in certain areas, but flash photography and tripods may be restricted.

Fabulous historic cathedral (see Thomas Becket) plus plenty of interesting memorials to curious people. Monument to Becket is striking. Stained glass and cloisters beautiful. Tea shop was closed by 4pm (so no comment and no comment-err? Such a British tradition to close doors to cafés when visitors are in greatest need) but the visitors’ shop was open and had good stuff.

An amazing piece of history and well worth a visit. It costs £17 to get in but this is valid for a whole year. I paid £5 to go on a guided tour which was 1.5 hours. Worth every penny. Our guide was Kirsten, a very knowledgeable and good humoured lady. I felt very engaged and learned a great deal.The cathedral is enormous and I could easily of spent the whole day there as there is so much to see.Thomas Becket,The Black Prince and the influence of William of Normandy and many others give this cathedral a long and very rich history.It is a working cathedral and its open for various services and also for private reflection and prayers.

Spectacular is the word that can describe the cathedral. It's huge and has so much historical significance. The glass paintings were so lively.There Is quite a bit of walk up to the cathedral from the parking position. You have to walk through a busy market and food area.

I think the entrance fee can be off-putting to a few people. However, you can go back as many times as you like for a year, so it evens out. We live near Canterbury, so now have the year's pass.How many times do you want to visit the same place? I thought that, but each time we go, you see something different. Also, there are a number of very knowledgeable guides there. One of these, Michael, gave us a real insight of a specific time/part of the Cathedral. Very interesting.

The history and architecture were amazing. They have guides all over the property that will happily answer question and walk with you to show you things. The crypts in the basem*nt are set aside for solitary contemplation or prayer if that is your thing.

An amazing place to visit and one of England's top castles for sure. The castle complex is huge with the keep offering impressive views of the whole town of Dover and to the French coastline. Easily 3+ hours of things to see. One of the most impressive I found were the Roman lighthouse and medieval church which underline the significance of the site. Also has very interesting WW2 history with a fascinating tour of the tunnels in which the Dunkirk evacuation was planned.

You can easily spend a whole day here - the castle grounds are massive and there’s a lot to see. The tower can be done quite quickly as there’s actually not much to see inside and the interior is very dated but worth it to climb to the top and see the great views.Definitely recommend doing the war tunnel tour - very interesting and very well put together.

Great place for kids. Castle itself is not wheelchair or pushchair friendly and there are lots of steps in the castle to get to rooms and top of the castle. They have got handrails. The rest of the grounds have paths. The tunnels are pushchair and wheelcahir friendly as long as your prepared to push them back up the hills. Had great story telling show for the kids in the castle. Stunning views from the tip of the castle. Staff super friendly.

A beautiful historic location with plenty to do and see for a whole day out. Suitable for families. Plenty of parking. Good visitor centre with information. A good restaurant with good choices of hot and cold food and drink. Very picturesque. Staff very friendly and informative. Wet particularly enjoyed the mini show with the king and his son in the main throne room.

Very recommended. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially the guided tours. It's recommended to finish the tower quickly as it's the first thing you get into after the gate. Then i would recommend visiting the secret tunnels and the underground hospitals as both of them, separate, has limited number of guests each tour, so you have to wait in the queue before going into each one of it. The only thing that they need to put some signs like how to start your tour and what is next and so on. As the current status is, everyone is free to do or visit whatever he wants.

Dive into history and the gorgeous sites here in Dover. There is ample parking and walkways that are nice if you are pushing a pram. My "big kid" really enjoyed the tunnel tour while my 9 & 16yr old enjoyed exploring the medieval castle and grounds. We spent easily 2.5hrs but could have spent longer here. If you are an English Heritage member, there is also a cottage on the castle grounds that you can rent. Prices are on the website.

This is simple one of the best Castle I've visited, vastly huge and impressive a full day is required. The war tunnels are a must the Dunkirk exhibition is truly emotional. The views from the top of the tower are spectacular. Car parking on site, has a couple of cafes / shops. The role this castle has played in our history is amazing

One of best castle to visit in England - wonderful kept and fully of history. The tunnels are great - but I recommend making them the first things you do as the queues can get rather long. Defiantly allow yourself a whole day there to see everything - we arrived when it opened and lefts just before closing and I'm still not sure if we saw everything. Loads of parking and great for kids.

I love Dover Castle, it is beyond fantasticSo many pivotal pieces of history happened here. You can spend an entire day exploring the premises, walking around and learning. Incredibly views, wonderful staff. A great day out for all ages. The price is quite steep but given the vastness, can't really complain! I believe you can get 10% off if you buy the day before online, so would recommend doing this!

Beautiful place perfect for a family dayout. The view from top is just spectacular. The castle, up and downhill walk around the garden is fun will keep everyone active all day.The staff are very kind and helpful. They will help you plan the route if you're not sure where to start or if it your first time. Overall, the visit was great. Children had fun all the time. The Castle is a must visit place.

I recently visited Dover Castle, managed by the National Trust in England, and it was an incredible experience. The highlight for me was the immersive journey into history at the war rooms, where you could almost feel the past come to life.The breathtaking views from the castle are simply awe-inspiring. The white cliffs of Dover, the English Channel, and the serene landscape create a picture-perfect setting that's not to be missed.However, I must mention that the parking situation was a bit inconvenient. Despite parking being available, we were directed to park outside the castle, which required at least a 20-minute walk, and this was quite challenging with young kids and a buggy. The gravelly and hilly path added to the difficulty.On the positive side, the history within the castle walls is incredibly rich, and the maintenance of the site is top-notch. The tickets were reasonably priced for the value you receive, making it accessible to a wide range of visitors.Be prepared for a lot of walking as exploring the castle and its surroundings can easily take 4 to 6 hours. I would highly recommend carrying water and snacks to keep energy levels up as you delve into this historic gem. Despite the parking hiccup, Dover Castle is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and those seeking stunning views of the English coastline.

Absolutely loved my day at Dover Castle! The tower was my favourite with some amazing views at the top. The underground hospital tour was surprisingly entertaining, really well done, I felt I went back in time. I only regret the medieval Tunnels were closed to the public.

Great Castle to explore, although I was mostly interested in the tunnels that spread out beneath the centuries old majestic Castle.I was always aware Dover Castle had played some important role in the second WW2 so I was really excited to see what lay below the surface,we were not disappointed,if you have a spare day it's well worth exploring this place for yourself it's really is good value for money.

A massive place, so allow I’d say half a day of not all of it to visit. Tunnels are fab and views from the top of the tower are great. Cafe serves half decent food but overpriced as always at these places. Picnic is probably a better option if there a few of you.Negative points for me is the bad signage and the lack of information boards to tell you what things are. Also the amount of distance you have to walk just to get to a toilet! Also the rudeness of some of the staff here is a disgrace! The woman in the shop next to the war tunnels has a bad attitude and would not show my daughter where the magnets were when asked! I wasn’t allowed in the shop due to not having my mask and she couldn’t even be polite about that! Also, if you’re going to enforce mask wearing then at least tell your staff to put their masks right over their face instead of just under their noses. One rule for all not just for us!! I’m not an anti masker, I forgot it.Other then the negatives, I would visit again and allow myself more time to explore.

I was expecting just a castle but it actually has quite a bit more which surprised me. I found the tunnels in the cliffs more interesting than the castle as it's a bit different . We spent about three and a half hours there and missed a few things to see. The kids seemed to really enjoy it.

Amazing day. Kids loved it, loads to see. Would advise anyone who wants to go in the tunnels to get there early and do it straight away as wait times can build up. Summer holidays they have things for the kids to do on the green in front of the castle. Get the map in the ticket office it will help to make sure you see everything. There is a cafe and tea room but also plenty of picnic benches and grass if you take a packed lunch.

Gorgeous view and super friendly staff! Little to do on Dover itself, but would definitely recommend a day trip just in the castle. With nice weather, you can even have a picnic on the castle grounds.

What a fascinating place! I used my mobility walker and it was a bit of a challenge in some areas, but there is a courtesy disabled electric bus going constantly around the site which will pick you up and drop you off where you want to go. The staff are so friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable about the castle. The views over the Port of Dover are amazing. The Naafi Restaurant was nice although a bit pricey for a family to dine there. A meal of a small portion of macaroni cheese and a portion of garlic bread was priced about £9. I had a little bottle of juice and a bottle of spring water and it cost £5.75. I subsequently found that complimentary tap water is available. The staff were very helpful and friendly and there was an excellent disabled toilet with an adult hoist. Complimentary Mobility Scooters are also available on a first come first serve basis. If you need assistance to visit the castle, you can get a complimentary ticket with your adult ticket for your carer. We had a fantastic experience visiting and there is so much to see and do that to do it justice it would take another visit!

One word Stunning! I know if you heard it but never came along here you will feel the same even if you’re British or not. From the very beginning with a tiny bridge it starts your special journey. Castle, chapel, view or war tunnels it’s truly stunning. Be careful about to spare enough time because it’s big enough and tunnel tours are not self made tour. If you’re an English heritage member it’s free entrance. If you’re not become one.PS. I would expect a better museum admission because of that many things would be more original or similar as it is not look like a toy specially inside the castle if it’s not main purpose of the design.In tunnels you don’t even see the video specially at the second part.

Stunning experience! Staying in Premier Best Western Hotel on the seafront. Staff were so lovely. 5 min drive to Dover Castle. Fantastic 2 nights away!

I was a bit taken aback by the £30 entrance fee! But there is bundles to see and do here. Spent nearly 2 hrs walking around, up the Tower and along the battlements. Fantastic views of the Channel and the port. Nice cafe onside too, if expensive. Would advise again ordering the pizza, we didn't have it but everyone that we saw order it, sent it back.

Very easy, enjoyable day out. The Great Hall was the highlight, whilst the underground tours of the tunnels provided a fascinating glimpse at the second World War. We went on a Friday so it was relatively quiet but with a few school trip groups.

Great place. Dogs were ok on the grounds for casual exploring for around 2 hours, then they had a sleep in the car while we did the keep itself for another hour. PS, if you really like the castle there is even accommodation available for short stays in the castle itself!

A nice place to visit with scenic views all around and a peek into the history of the castle! You can also see the artillery and anti-aircraft guns used in WW 2. Be ready to walk a lot, though! Mind that the queues to the WW 2 tunnels might be longer!

Unforgettable experience!!!! Many place to visit (we spend 4 hours there) and the view are BEAUTIFUL me and my partner walk there from the city centre. Make sure u choose the sunny day and don’t forget to enjoy the view!!!

Visiting Dover Castle was an enriching experience! Delving into the history of England's first frontier was fascinating. The castle's historical significance is palpable, and the views are breathtaking. A must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone curious about England's rich heritage.

Really must visit this! So much to see and we only had two hours. Enthusiastic and super-friendly staff, impressive and well-kept collection. And apart from all that: the views over the harbour and the sea are absolutely stunning!

Great place to visit if you're interested in the history of the defence of England in the past, especially in WW2. Churchill's War Rooms are well worth touring inside the chalk caves, but you need to be fairly fit to do it. A good day out, Restaurant Gift shops and Toilets are available.

Excellent and very well preserved example of castle building. Make sure to save plenty ty of time to experience the WWII tunnels and stories. Make sure to join English Heritage prior to going and sign up for entrance to the site and centers. If short on time, visit the tunnels first, then the castle grounds.

A beautiful castle, steeped in history. However, when there are no events, it can seem quite empty. We went on a Saturday. The ww2 tunnels are impossible to get a space to tour. Would recommend going down to those early.Lastly, if you have mobility issues, the castles and grounds are full of steep hills and climbs if you want to see anything. They do have a mobility bus that does a round robin, which is a great touch.Food onsite is expensive and decent quality, but it is cheaper to take a picnic. Not a lot of "shelter" unless you are inside, so take waterproofs/warm clothing if walking around.Would recommend viewing.

Dover Castle, managed by English Heritage, is a captivating blend of history and natural beauty. The castle itself is steeped in centuries of history, boasting impressive architecture and well-preserved rooms that offer a fascinating journey through time.The surrounding grounds are perfect for leisurely walks, offering sweeping views of the English Channel and the iconic White Cliffs. It's an ideal spot to appreciate both the castle's grandeur and the scenic beauty of the coastline.Facilities at Dover Castle are well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant visit for all. Families will find the offer of free kids' meals for members during the summer a thoughtful perk, making it a great choice for budget-conscious outings.Parking is ample and conveniently located, adding to the ease of access for visitors.Overall, Dover Castle provides an enriching experience with its historic charm, stunning vistas, and family-friendly amenities. It's a must-visit destination that promises a memorable day exploring one of England's most significant heritage sites.

Huge site, with lots to see. As a dog owner, dogs have very limited access on the site. I'm fine with this, but it's not clear why English Heritage policy varies so much. We have visited similar sites as members and have been able to access much more. Biggest issue wasn't able to get any drinks because dogs not allowed in cafes and no outdoor vendor at all. It would be a benefit to consider a kiosk type arrangement somewhere.Lots of kids activities laid on for Easter, queues for the tunnels and hospital, but well managed and didn't wait long (dogs also not allowed into these).Would benefit from Audio guides. Lots of history but not that well explained, so some areas information overload and some with no information at all. Some new displays evident which were much better.

Very large grounds with lots to explore. The castle itself has been kept in a way that represents how it would of been many years ago. The 2000 year old lighthouse is a fantastic piece of architecture that has really stood the test of time. Lots of modern fitments still in place including gun posts when it was protected in WW1/2. Great views from the top looking down across Dover. Plenty of parking, restaurant and lots of toilets to use, staff are very friendly and helpful. A great day out for everyone.

A must visit. Massive place with lots of different periods of history. Medieval tunnels are shut until summer 2024. We really enjoyed the great tower and looking through all the rooms. Great views of Dover. The church was nice too. Great place for people of all ages. Can be very windy.

Great day out.The 2 tunnel tours are very well organised, the cafe is very good, and the Castle and grounds are spectacular. There is the added bonus of St Mary's in Castro Church, and a Roman Lighthouse in the same grounds.

What a place! If you are in Dover you absolutely need to visit this place. A ticket cost around £25.If you want to see most of it you can walk between 2-3 hours.

I have been to this castle many times with my children. Everytime they love it and find something else to be excited about. The war tunnel are amazing , the castle is spectacular! On a sunny day you can see France from the castle. Spectacular views and steeped in history. I have been many times as a teacher and as a parent and highly recommend due to the facilities, the history and the knowledgeable staff!

The castle was absolutely beautiful and lots of fun to go around and see all the details of how it was made and how it was used, I loved that we were given a map to use to go around and discover everything about Dover Castle. They had some of the history of ww1 and some of the weapons they used here too, they also did a tore around the tunnels they made around the war witch we really nice to go though. Overall I would highly recommend visiting Dover Castle.

Beautiful large castle with lots of grounds to walk around, a really interesting walk around the interior with halls to visit and a route up to the roof as well as fascinating wartime tunnels with a really fantastic tour and videos. A couple of gift shops too with the usual stuff and a lovely cafe with proper cooked food too (although obviously quite expensive). Overall an excellent day out and you could easily spend a full day here so make sure you have plenty of time!

Amazing castle so much to do and see. Staff were really knowledgeable and helpful. Great views and for us a fabulous day out. Would highly recommend.

Lovely historical place to visit. Loved the interactive tours of the underground tunnels and the hospital. Great views as well. Although be prepared for a lot of steps up and down the hills 😅

So much history, a full day at least to take it all in. Unfortunately on this visit the weather was awful so appreciation of the grounds was not high though my pics show how beautiful it is. A few places to eat, not bad with prices and tasty. Would definitely recommend.

It's a nice aquarium but a but expensive for what it was. We where done in 2 hours. Drove especially from Luxembourg for it which didn't seem to be worth it. Only nice if you are already in the area. Tickets should be maybe only 15 euro per person not 24.

This is a really big aquarium, with a huge central "pool" and then smaller aquariums all around. Lots of floors all having different topics about marine life. Very educational and fun, great family outing. Was quite crowded, but rightfully so. If you so fancy, the sand beach is right outside to build sand castles after (or swim in the sea).

Fantastic experience. My view on jellyfish completely changed :) So beautiful... So much to see. Beautiful aquarium. Take it slow and pay lots of attention to what you can find in the aquarium. There is so much going on. Every fish sort had its own behavior. Unique. Never saw something like this before wrt aquariums.

Summary - a pretty damn good aquarium with lots to see and do for kids and adults. It makes The Deep (an aquarium in Hull) seem tiny!We only went here as it was raining but we were certainly glad we did. The first point to note is that the ‘official’ car park has a height restriction so is no good for camper vans.The place itself has two main exhibitions plus a penguin exhibition. The first one has a huge tank with sharks, sting rays and lots of lots of fish. This also has a tunnel through it was is good. There are lots and lots of smaller tanks and exhibits.The second one is based on the coast and, again, has loads of small tanks and exhibitions. However the main attraction are the seals and you can only see these through a wall in their tank. This means that you can see them swim under water.The third area is the penguins and these are in a relatively small area. However we were tired by this point so didn’t stay long.There is the obligatory cafe (warning - expensive) and gift shop (reasonably priced).In all we spent 4 hours there which ain’t bad for the €70 or so it cost. Well worth it.

Great aquarium would highly recommend. Especially loved the huge manta ray! Only problem was the crowds, it is a very busy aquarium. Other than that, I had a good time.Took around 2 hours to walk around.

Nausicaa is truly an experience to take your kids once, to prepare them for the future and climate change. Even though the tariff is high, and yes some reviews do feel it is a glorified sea tank. However given the context we live in this project is remarkable and opens your eyes to the synergies between man and sea in a setting so interactive for kids and adult. Special packages can be introduced to make this accessible to all.

I have always wanted to go since I was a kid and we finally managed to get there. Absolutely amazing place, if you love an aquarium trip then you will love this place! Only advice I can offer is give yourself plenty of time to get around it as it's huge!

A great experience, lovely staff and an overall value for money visit. The variety is great too. They have penguins, seals and a large number of sealife including sharks and stingrays. I went with a school trip that I helped organise and can only say that I will be doing this in future! Visit if you can, you won't be disappointed.

It’s very big and beautiful, their seal 🦭 show was pretty nice and the visiting steps are super interesting, they’ve got many fish i’ve never heard of, and a great sea experience!!!

Great family day out. We spent 5 hours there with 3 kids and they were all entertained. The first part of the exhibition is very digital and tech heavy and there didn't seem to be many fish, but it greatly improved as we moved on to a different exhibition. Food options seemed limited, but the crepes were fresh and tasty.

We made a special visit to go as birthday present for our son. You can buy an additional day ticket for only €5 which is excellent value. We spent the second day seeing things we were too tired to appreciate the first day!This is the best aquarium I’ve ever been to and highly recommend it. The welfare of the animals is paramount and it is obvious how well cared for they are.The cafe is mediocre and quite expensive but functional and has the best view over the beach.Best part is the huge deep water tank based on a site off Columbia in Pacific. The giant manta ray is particularly impressive.Only downside was trying to buy an ice cream at the end and the staff member laughed with her colleagues at my poor French. I left customer feedback for that to raise training need but it meant that I left on a down note after 2 brilliant visits.Please visit and enjoy but I can’t recommend the ice creams!

Apparently the largest aquarium in Europe. Did not disappoint. Large range of aquatic life, the big tank in the middle was awesome. There was street parking as well as a parking station close by. Cafe/Restaurant was average. An easy drive from Paris.

Very friendly personnel and also very helpful. The aquarium itself is quite big and split up in 2 main parts. It took us 4 hours and 30 to get through it all, at a slow though, which is not bad I think. The place is very clean and modern and there was not a lot of people so it was very comfortable, being a Saturday this was a little bit surprising. The big tank is amazing and is definitely a show stopper. Be sure to check out the giant manta, it's amazing. Parking is located on either side of the facility and is a Qparking. Be mindful however that the beach side parking 'la plage' didn't have Maestro working, so you were only able to pay there with cash, Visa, or Mastercard.

I didn't really think that this place lived up to the expectations. I would visit if I lived in the town, but wouldn't say its worth a long trip to see. The large centre aquarium is quite amazing but there were a lot of areas that just have screens and tv's. Personally, if I go to an aquarium I don't want to see screens... I want to see the real thing! Knocked off some stars for this reason, otherwise there's a wide variety of fish and cool things to see!

It was an ok experience. I expected more than just one big fish tank and tiny sea lion and penguin areas. I feel bad about the animals, though, because they look very crammed. The penguins and sea lions enclosures, especially, looked so tiny! Loads of space for people to walk but not enough for the animals.There were restaurants and a smoking area. I'd advise against using the loo if you can hold it because there are some shocking things to see, apparently. My husband went and came back traumatised 🤣

We spent around 2 hours here, one Sunday. It is an incredible place to visit. Definitely take your time to read all the interesting material that is on offer. The Aquarium is huge and very impressive, with a large array of fish & rare creatures. I would recommend this for all visitors in the area!

Such a great experience to visit this aquarium! you can see different kinds of animals there in very close distance, I was so impressive. Highly recommend people to visit !

Really cool and big aquarium with lots of animals to see. We spent 2h here and that was perfect! We visited on a very sunny and warm Sunday 2.5h before the closing so the aquarium was very empty and that made the experience even better! The sea lions show was stunning! And my favourite thing was the biggest aquarium. That one just leaves you speechless.The only downside is that the ticket prices are quite expensive and I definitely wouldn’t want to visit on a rainy day as there are most likely be too many screaming children around. Additionally, there isn’t much interesting information about the animals.

Absolutely impressive. Huge aquarium/sea life center. I have visited many sea life centres in the world but this one definitely stands out. It has 3 distinct exhibitions: mankind & shores, journey on the high seas and in the eye of the climate. It’s a real deep dive into the ocean world, the aquaria are all super nice, the information is complete and the tone of the exhibition is informational, encouraging and positive. Instead of feeling depressed about the current state of the planet (which can be the case after visiting earth-related exhibitions) you walk out of this place with an informed, positive and motivated mindset, all thanks to the ‘both sides of the story’ perspective of the exhibition.Due to its recency (it was completed in 2018) it feels very up to date.The giant aquarium is super impressive (holding a 4m span manta ray), it has a great restaurant, and never felt extremely busy although we went on a holiday and there were many people inside. Throughout all 3 exhibitions nice and calm music helps set the tone, it’s very nice. We visited with 2 kids aged 10 and 12, and they absolutely loved it. Walked in at 11am, finished the tours at 4.30pm with a 1 hour lunch break. Very good value for money, highly recommended!!

Went on a day trip. There were 12 of us in total..4 little ones and 8 adults. The price was amazing, 210€ and the place is incredible.. so many different species to see. And photo booth type activities where you can email the photos straight to yourself free, so no paying a fortune for a photo. Compared to UK ones this is far superior. Definitely recommend, this is our third visit over the years with various ages of children..

Best aquarium we've ever been to, without a doubt. This place is insane! We went with our young children (a few years ago), and they were amazed. I would've loved to have gone back without them as there was a plethora of information that I didn't have time to read. This place is a must see for anyone that has the ability to visit the area.

A great family day out while staying in the area. The huge tank where the bulk of the sea-life live can be seen from several places, including from above. We spent around 3 hours there. Parking in the nearby Q-Park Nausicaa is discounted if you're visiting the aquarium.

Lots of fish, as we walked the fish tanks never stopped! Recommend the large main tank with the manta ray, very cool and curious! The seals were very cool also!Good crepes and hot chocolates

Ein riesiges Wasserbecken mit Haien, Rochen, Schildkröte, einem Manta und unzähligen anderen Fischen...Wir waren an einem Donnerstag früh um 09:30 hier. Die Karten hatten wir vorab online gebucht. Gleich nach dem Eingang kommen rechts die Schränke für die Taschen etc.Es gibt 3 große Ausstellungen mit unterschiedlichen Themen. Aber überall sind kleine und große Wasserbecken mit Fischen, Quallen und Korallen. Dazu auch noch Pinguine, Robben und Kaimane.Nach etwa 4 Stunden waren wir dann wieder draußen. Es gibt 2-3 kleine Restaurants und die Preise sind okay. Dafür ist der Eintritt teuer. Meiner Meinung nach aber für die 4 Stunden angemessen.(Translated by Google)A huge pool of water with sharks, rays, turtles, a manta ray and countless other fish...We were here on a Thursday morning at 9:30. We had booked the tickets online in advance. Immediately after the entrance are the cupboards for bags etc. on the right.There are 3 large exhibitions with different themes. But everywhere there are small and large pools of water with fish, jellyfish and corals. Plus penguins, seals and caimans.After about 4 hours we were outside again. There are 2-3 small restaurants and the prices are okay. The entrance fee is expensive. In my opinion, it's appropriate for the 4 hours.

Aquarium Nausicaa offers a large collection of marine life, making it a worthwhile visit for nature enthusiasts. The exhibits are well-presented (French and English) and provide educational insights into the ocean's ecosystems and the importance of conservation efforts. However, it's worth noting that the admission fee is relatively high. Parking options are available in nearby garages, but on weekends, the area can get quite crowded, which is to be expected.Overall, Aquarium Nausicaa provides an immersive journey into the underwater world, despite some considerations regarding pricing and weekend crowds.

Incredible aquarium. Easily the best one I've been to in France, and even rivals some I've been to in the US. The large tank which houses the stingrays and sharks and whatnot was definitely the highlight of the aquarium, I could have stayed there for hours just watching. Overall the aquarium was a great experience, lots to see and would definitely go back. Went on a Monday and there was hardly anybody there, with no wait line to get in.

An excellent attraction with a huge array of marine life.There are lockers that accept one euro or one pound coins. But they get used up quickly so try to arrive early.The giant mantaray is the highlight but there are various outstanding examples of marine life from sharks to seals, jellyfish, and much more.Be warned, there are two main sections, so you might want to arrive early and do one side before lunch at the excellent onsite restaurant. Overall, it takes around 3 - 4hrs to get round unless you want to rush through!The aquarium is also an educational resource, and has a lot on conservation and the changing world.

Absolutely brilliant place. So informative.A great educational place to visit. Yet good fun.Really enjoyed our trip around.Great to learn about climate change. And sustainability.

Amazing place to visit and lots to see and do.Everything was set out to follow easy.I got my ticket beforehand from Trip Advisor.Lovely fish and penguins.Turtle,Sealions and reptiles.Lots of activities for everyone to do.Largest tank to watch the fish and the rays. Watched the divers feed the rays and the lady explains but in French.Lots of toilets.Also a clock room lockers and a lovely shop.Also a lovely restaurant overlooking the beach.All was clean and staff helpful.Well worth a visit.

The aquarium we visited was absolutely worth it! Whether you speak French or not, the museum caters to everyone. It's of top-notch quality, with beautifully finished exhibits and informative displays. We were impressed by the attention to detail and the wealth of information provided. A must-visit for anyone interested in marine life or simply looking for an enjoyable and educational experience!

Einfach nur unbeschreiblich klasse das Aquarium.Man kann sich nicht satt sehen.Für mich das Highlight der Mantarochen der seine Bahnen im großen Becken hinter der riesigen Scheibe zieht. Sehr majestätisch.Sollte man unbedingt besuchen wenn sich die Möglichkeit ergibt.Der Eintrittspreis ist völlig gerechtfertigt. 👍👌(Translated by Google)The aquarium is simply indescribably great.You can't get enough of it.For me the highlight is the manta ray that swims in the large pool behind the huge pane. Very majestic.You should definitely visit if you get the chance.The entrance fee is completely justified. 👍👌

Loved it . We bought tickets in advance online and no issues to get in. Nice place, very well looked after. A lot of interesting information and visual presentation.

Lovely place for a visit, you need around 4 to 5 hours to see everything, the exhibits are wonderful and well spaced out, the large tank is amazing and we spent nearly an hour just watching all of the fish there.

Wunderschönes AquariumWie haben gestaunt so groß und richtig schön, die Tiere sind einfach 😍zumals das große Rochen im großen Becken.Wir kommen wiederFür 28,50 Euro Eintrittkarte ist es Wert weil man hat für 4 bis 5 Stunden.Die Becken sind sauber die Fische haben es gut.Großen Respekt und macht weiter so(Translated by Google)Beautiful aquariumWe were amazed that they were so big and really beautiful, the animals are just 😍especially the big ray in the big tank.We will be backFor 28.50 euros entry ticket it's worth it because you have 4 to 5 hours.The tanks are clean and the fish are doing well.Great respect and keep it up

The most amazing aquarium I have ever seen. The centre care about their animals !! The place is massive and such great exhibits from different areas of the world.

One of the best aquarium I have done. Kids were mesmerised and it was uged. We spend at least 3h in there. Lots of fun.

Lovely day out for all the family. Went for a day trip from the UK. Used the eurotunnel to get from Folkestone to Calais. From there, it's a straight forward 30 minute drive to Nausicaa. Spent a good 5-6 hours there and then drove back. The aquarium itself is fantastic and the staff helpful and friendly. Would definitely do this again.

Nausicaá Centre National de la Mer is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the wonders of the marine world. Its combination of extensive exhibits, educational programs, and commitment to conservation makes it a standout attraction in Europe.Whether you are a marine enthusiast, a family looking for an educational outing, or a tourist seeking an impressive and memorable experience, Nausicaá delivers on all fronts. The center successfully blends entertainment with education, making it a beacon of marine awareness and a jewel of northern France.

Beautiful cathedral! I couldn't stop taking pictures and videos because of how stunning it was! One of the coolest experiences I've had. Building is MASSIVE. Such intricate facade and truly breathtaking to see in person. Highly recommend the light show that happens at night during the summer months. Mesmerizing experience. For travel content, check out Adventure on a Dime on You Tube.

Beautiful cathedral. Very good place to take photos. On some days there are guided tours for the choir stalls.

At last: a tourist destination that is profound. The reconstruction is ongoing, but the effect is still amazing.

Ein sehr ehrfürchtiger Ort, der wunderschön die gotischen Architektur zum Tragen bringt. Diese Kathedrale ist die größte ihrer Art in Frankreich, größer noch als Notre Dame in Paris. Das merkt man auch im inneren durch eine sehr große Anzahl von kleinen Seitenräumen und Kapellen und einen sehr großen Altarraum. Der Eintritt zu diesem Kunstwerk ist frei, lediglich für die Fahrt in den Turm muss bezahlt werden. Ein gründlicher Besuch ist empfohlen.(Translated by Google)A very awesome place that beautifully showcases the Gothic architecture. This cathedral is the largest of its kind in France, even larger than Notre Dame in Paris. You can also notice this inside through a very large number of small side rooms and chapels and a very large chancel. Entry to this work of art is free, you only have to pay for the ride into the tower. A thorough visit is recommended.

Absolutely huge inside, like incomprehensibly cavenous! And I've seen Notre Dame in Paris.Well worth a visit for the amazing architecture and breathtakingly beautiful stained glass windows.

One of the most beautiful carhedrals in France, and the biggest although not the highest. Well preserved. A step back in history. Organ is being restored.

Wow!!! What a beautiful place to visit and feel humbled and amazed. Go and see it and the area of Amiens is beautiful full of history and the train ride for 10 Euros around the city is great even if your English as the tour is in Frence you still see some cool places 😎

If you are in town for a simple visit, this place is a must.It's astonishing how immense the cathedral is. Tons of histories of the city are displayed inside. It clearly retrace all events that occurred from centuries.Unfortunately the organ was in renovation.

It’s a magnificent catherderal and we’ll worth a visit at any time however, if you are lucky enough to see the light show in the summer months, it is spectacular. A quality production and a real asset to the city.

I didn’t know that this Notre Dame Cathedral is actually twice as big as the one in Paris. It's also a magnificent example of Gothic architecture. Inside, you can see plenty of natural lights, which is a part of its brilliant design. I really liked it!

I went there after Christmas and goodness was it beautiful.. I was literally in awe with the spectacular light show on the cathedral.. Amazing Christmas decoration. Just beautiful!

Definitely one of the better churches I have seen. Sadly I went close to closing time and it was really dark inside. Even so, still very impressive

Die Kathedrale darf man nicht auslassen, wenn man in der Stadt ist. Ein wunderschönes Bauwerk!(Translated by Google)You can't miss the cathedral when you're in the city. A beautiful building!

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

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

Visited on Easter Sunday, 2023, so the Easter service was underway. I was still able to walk around this impressive cathedral both on the outside and inside. It's also free, so if you like architecture, beautiful stained glass windows and reliefs and plaques which you much see and read, you leave humbled by the amount of work and skill that went into this cathedral

Ein - auch hier wieder das abgedroschene Wort - beeindruckendes Gebäude. Die angeblich größte Kathedrale Europas.Sehr beeindruckende Architektur, die Fenster - teilweise immer unterschiedliche Motive, die andere Geschichten erzählen. Es können auch Führungen mitgemacht werden. Es sollte mindestens eine Stunde Zeit eingeplant werden, ansonsten wird es zu oberflächlich(Translated by Google)An - again the hackneyed word - impressive building. Said to be the largest cathedral in Europe.Very impressive architecture, the windows - sometimes always different motifs that tell different stories. Guided tours can also be taken. You should allow at least an hour, otherwise it will be too superficial

They show a Canadian 🇨🇦 Flag in honour of the troops who helped save France in WWI

There was a note saying every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 3 PM, there will be a free guided tour which takes about 45 minutes.

Wir hatten eine fantastische deutschsprachige Führung. Beeindruckendes Gebäude mit beeindruckender Geschichte!(Translated by Google)We had a fantastic German-speaking tour. Impressive building with an impressive history!

OK, I like visiting historic churches and cathedrals, so unless I find it hideously expensive or in a very poor state when it is advertised as something wonderful I'm going to give it a good review.But as Cathedrals go, it was particularly impressive. A UNESCO world heritage site it is one of the largest 'classic' Gothic churches of the 13th century.

Wirklich sehr große Kathedrale.Sehenswert ist der weinende Engel im Chor-Umgang an der Ostflanke. Der Engel wurde von Soldaten im 1. Weltkrieg zum Symbol des sinnlosen Leids erkoren und vielfach als Postkartenmotiv verschickt.Auch die Portale tragen eine durchaus beeindruckende Ornamentik.Zum Chorgestühl gibt es eine Führung dienstags um 15 Uhr, für die man sich nicht anmelden kann - wer zuerst da ist, darf mitkommen.(Translated by Google)Really very big cathedral.The weeping angel in the choir ambulatory on the eastern flank is worth seeing. The angel was chosen by soldiers during the First World War as a symbol of senseless suffering and was often sent as a postcard motif.The portals also have impressive ornamentation.There is a guided tour of the choir stalls on Tuesdays at 3 p.m., which you cannot register for - whoever gets there first can come along.

Amazing place, biggest gothic cathedral in France

Very impressive cathedral - well worth a visit. Look out for the Weeping Angel and the medieval carved friezes.

All historicalLu significant. Amazing architecture.

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

Such a special place. The people of Amiens are so kind. Take your time to savour the space. I'll definitely come back soon!

Amazing Roman Catholic cathedral in almost perfect condition! Very interesting interior.. I saw the portrait of Jesus in very different styles, there’s a labyrinth in the center of the ground. Baroque sculptures.The area was completely destroyed during WWI, but the church was kept untouched thanks to the peoples protection.

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

This is one of the best locations to visit while in Paris. I would say first place, especially if you aren't lazy enough to walk around and inhale the spirit of old Paris. Each time we visit this Basilica we find something new!

It's one of my favorite places around the world. I come here each time I'm in Paris to sit, relax, and admire, then walk around the narrow streets all the way down to Moulin Rouge.Magnificent basilica with gorgeous views.P.S. visit close to sunset to fall in love with this place even more.

Stunning cathedral! It is located on top of the hill of MontMartre which is such a stunning little district of Paris, like how they depict it in the movies. Winding roads, cobblestone, old buildings and little paths and stairways up, lots of explore.You can go inside and visit the cathedral for free, and sometimes there is a live mass occurring. It is beautiful inside.You can also see Paris from atop at a vantage point here.

This was the most wonderful place I visited while in Paris! I fell in love with this cathedral the moment I saw it from afar. The outside of the cathedral is absolutely gorgeous. The inside is breathtaking. Definitely the most beautiful Cathedral I’ve ever been to. They offer the Eucharist at various times of the day as well as confessions. I arrived early in the day, therefore I didn’t have to wait in line to enter. I spent 3-4 hours here.

This place was unexpected. Our tour guide took us here without having known of it prior to going and boy were we surprised how beautiful and amazing it was! From the first time we saw it while walking up through the alley to the time spent walking through the church to admire all the detail we were captivated! And if that wasn’t enough when you walk out you will see some of the best views of Paris! It is well worth the trip! Do some research before going if you require any assistance getting around as there are cobble streets and a steady incline getting to and leaving the area.

A beautiful cathedral high up in Paris. Best visited later in the evening when visitor numbers drop off. In the meantime there are lots of shops and restaurants near the Basilica. And great views over Paris. When you do get into the Basilica it's an amazing and calming experience. There are staff there to enforce the (minimal) rules which include being quiet and wearing appropriate clothing. But these rules are not hard to abide by and it makes for a more comfortable experience for all including those who come to worship. There is a central area purely for prayer and quiet contemplation. Walking around the edge gives a good view of the architecture - just remember to look up occasionally.

There it stands beautiful on the top of the hill. Breathtaking! Climbing up the stairs I was astonished by the wonderful views of the city and the history marked on every step. Free admission. Totally worth the stairs climbing.

One of the best places to visit. The white domed cathedral located in Paris is an amazing place to see. The view is great from the cathedral. There is a metro station nearby and you need to climb a few steps to reach the hill top. The cathedral is beautiful from both outside and Inside. The view of Paris is stunning. There is also a cable car directly to the hilltop.

One of the most beautiful (and most busy) churches in Paris. You can take the tram or hike up a few flights of stairs. We got lucky and saw a service in process. The music acoustics were amazing. Small prayer candles (€2) large candles (€10). Cash and card are accepted. It is 7€ to go the top look out portion, 270+ Steps! No bathrooms. Tons of vendors selling souvenirs by the steps. If you walk down to the street there are plenty of other souvenir shops. Definitely a must see! Worth the steps to see the view!Ps, Bring a lock and key if you and your loved one want to place your lock on the exterior fence.

It is a beautiful white cathedral spotted at a really high place of the French capital, Paris. From there is possible to see almost whole city.And to get inside of the edification is possible too, from where you can have even better view of Paris, after climbing the tower. The inside is also nice.Other nice touristic place of this city!!!

Knowing that there has been prayer here consistently for over 130 years just gives me goosebumps and immediately brings me to a conversation with God. I am so blessed to have been able to see part of a service and explore such a historic place. Absolutely worth the walk up as well as the quick-moving line that allows you to most around once you’re inside. Everyone around was respectful and quiet, which I very much appreciated.

Wow what a stunning place and it’s totally free! You don’t need a ticket but sometimes there can be a big queue, but it moves quickly. Inside it’s a rich delight of curves, sounds, smells, it really is a pleasure to be inside this place and feel the atmosphere.Please see my photos so that you can see the most recent open times and prayer times.Not to be missed while in Paris

What a magnificent cathedral inside and out. It offers a quiet atmosphere and you can visit a magnificent temple. From the outside, you can enjoy a wonderful view of Paris. Easy to access, there's a cheap cable car/funicolare.

It was absolutely beautiful. Once you make it to the top, the views are stunning. The inside of the church is awesome. all of the little locks on all the fences, millions of them.. a man was outside, entertaining, playing his guitar and singing. I highly recommend it you must go.. but a warning you must wear comfortable shoes and be in decent shape to climb the millions of stairs to get to the top. I had to take several breaks before we made it up, but it was very well worth it.

A beautiful place and a must if you visit Paris. The Basilica is really beautiful and it is collocated in the north zone of Paris, a little far away from the centre. From the top of the stairs, it is possible to admire the city. The only downside in this place are the people that try to force you to buy bracelets while you are going up the stairs.You really need to be careful as they tend to grab you and force you to buy something.

A beautiful basilica Sacré-Cœur (Funicular) in France. Standing on top of a hill, vastly looking with white doms and a wide scenic view of Paris city from the church boulevard. Amazing external and internal architecture with an ancient look. We have to climb many steps and can use the transport system of an inclined elevator to the top from the bottom level for the cost of 2 euros. Very interesting to understand the culture and the belief. We can see many tourists fixing the padlocks on a fence as part of their love. Surrounding we can see many artists sitting and drawing, painting the portraits specially in a particular area. In history Pablo Picasso and many artists who spent their time over there. Tourists can get their portraits painted or pencil sketched and buy souvenirs from there. A really peaceful place to visit in Paris.

The Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre is an architectural marvel. Perched atop the highest point in Paris, its gleaming white domes stand out against the skyline. The Roman-Byzantine design, with its grand domes and intricate mosaics, is breathtaking.Climbing the steps to the basilica, I was rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the city. The interior is equally impressive, with beautiful stained glass windows and a serene ambiance that invites reflection and admiration. It is truly a must-see landmark in Paris.

Located on the tallest hill of Paris, stands this stunning church, that always looks perfectly white and clean, due to self cleaning tiles it is covered in, we love visiting here at least once during a visit to Paris, as the views are absolutely stunning.

Visiting Sacré-Cœur at night was a refreshing change from the bustling crowds of the daytime. As I climbed the steps to the basilica, I couldn’t help but appreciate the peaceful atmosphere that enveloped the area. With fewer tourists around, I had the chance to soak in the beauty of this iconic landmark without feeling rushed or crowded.Outside, the soft glow of the illuminated façade created a serene backdrop against the night sky. From the esplanade, the panoramic view of Paris was simply stunning, with the city lights twinkling in the distance.

Majestic cathedral, can’t help but feel solemn when you are inside. We were on Tuesday at around 10am, there was not too many people so we were able to enjoy it more. It got way more crowded by the time we left so highly recommend to get there in the morning

A must if you’re in Paris. As simple as that. The place is located in a nice commercial area and has a great view of the whole city. You can go there with public transport but also walking. The whole way is full of nice places, parks and restaurants. The church is beautiful too, offers a better understanding of the importance of this building to the city. You have brochures and info on the building inside (for free) and as long as you’re quiet during your visit, you’ll enjoy it! It can get crowded depending on the time of the day that you visit but it’s great even when it’s busy. You get to see a different side of the Basilica. There are people singing, playing the guitar and that gives it a different vibe. Definitely popular among young people. The only observation I have is to be careful with your personal stuff and valuables since it’s a well known touristy place.

One more must place to visit when you visit Paris for the first time. Located up on a hill, that gives you a very nice view of the city. Very touristic with plenty of choice to eat- drink or buy some souvenirs

Super nice place to see the view of the city in one glance.Loved the entire vibe, also very romantic place if you get to visit with a partner.I couldn’t get enough of the view.If only I would be there earlier in the day so i could visit the cathedral. Otherwise on the noon it’s really crowded

So busy!!!!! But the panoramic view was phenomenal. It was a hike to get up there… 300 steps. Good views. It is a few euros to go to the top, but worth it. WAY less crowded at the panoramic level.

A lovely place to wander and soak in the sights and sounds of Paris. Lots of people strolling and enjoying the view.

The exterior and interior are very impressive. The view of Paris from a height of 130 m is especially wonderful. I advise you to climb the stairs, not the funicular. It's symbolic because that's where John Wick's final battle took place, if anyone watched the final part of "John Wick: Chapter 4"

One of the best city walks. Absolutely stunning view overseeing the city. Church, retail shops and various bars and restaurants with outdoor seating.

Montmartre is a charming hilltop neighborhood with stunning views of Paris. Explore winding streets, discover hidden art galleries, and savor delicious French cuisine. A must-visit for a taste of authentic Parisian life!

Cool and nice place to view Paris from the top and have some great pictures

Everyone tells you must visit Montmartre when you come to Paris.... and they're are absolutely right. You should spend at least 1 full day in this part of Paris. You will see so many artistic and awesome things. So cute and unique!

The view is absolutely gorgeous!We recommend walking around and absorbing the atmosphere.We recommend coming at the evening so you see when it sunny and at night when all of Paris is with lights

It’s a hike with lots of steps if you’re up for it! If not, you can take a tram to the top. Beautiful view, we didn’t wait in the line to go inside. Cute town

Best view in the Paris! 💕Beautiful and small streets, happy people.A place to eat whatever you want, buy and give gifts 💯😘

A must visit place - you may want to take your coffee and small snack with you and enjoy them on the grass area. Early morning is recommended if you want to avoid crowds and traffic!

Such a nice place with plenty of visitors during post-pandemic period when we visited the place!

Exceptional place on the top of Paris city. You should spend a full day in Montmartre area, you can enjoy many things and explore many sights.

Perfect place with awesome vibes. The portrait making folks ask a lot for portraits, when u get it not worth it. Food, shopping is good

What a beautiful village. I was told it's one of the oldest villages in Paris so we just had to go. Just walking through it's streets and having ice cream then visiting the Basilisque du Sacre Coeur was incredible (keep quiet inside out of respect to the church and those praying). The view from the top is awesome. Definite must visit

Nice and french vibe if it wasnt for all the tourists (us included, I know) :) Tourist trap on all restaurants - not very good cuisine. Nice place with small streets and a good view over Paris.

Vibrant, amazing little town at the top of the hill, with a huge Basílica (Sacre Coeur). The building is huge and amazing, yet once you get up there, the good part starts. Bohemian type town where artists, musicians used to live or work there, some renowned ones were Monet, Renoir, Picasso, van Gogh, among others.Streets are filled with nice small shops, where you can get portraits painted for you, many handmade, art/drawings. As you keep walking restaurants, start appearing, streets filled with tourists. A glass/cup of hot wine would fit very well if in low temperature season. You can also find street musicians playing for tips. We chose a restaurant in a corner, which ended up being an amazing option, which had a musical ambience (low volume international guitar, live music), great environment, good customer service (specially for tourists), food was good, nothing out of this world, but the rest made up much more for it.There is a cable car in case you want to avoid going up the stairs and you can get there via the train with a station nearby.

Montmartre needs no introduction. If you have seen the movie Amelie, you will see the same even the old wooden merry go round at the base of the site. The Sacre Coeur church itself hasn’t changed for at least 20+ years though I don’t remember needing to pay 8 euros (adult) / 5 euros (child) to go up to the dome for the panoramic views. The dome is the only way to see the Eiffel Tower. Going inside the chapel is free and is a great way to see the stained glasses and various memorials and displays. Likes to go in can be long but moves pretty quickly.The best experience is going up from the front, where you climb all the steps to reach the church. Google maps may suggest going up the back which is one giant ramp (no steps) however it goes through a less appealing neighbourhood that doesn’t feel safe. Lots of squatters. Near the church site itself, there are at least 3 different kinds of police/military on patrol in the run-up and during the Olympics, so it feels safe and there is no one harassing tourists or hard selling keychains or Eiffel Tower ornaments.The little charming village to the left of the church is worth visiting for souvenirs or refreshments or just taking pictures with the church in the background. But for the budget conscious, the street at the base of the Montmartre is about 1-2 euros cheaper. They are mostly the same kind of magnets, key chains, bags and t shirts.

It was within about a 30 minutes from our hotel.To be honest, I was afraid to walk on the street in that direction at first. The streets make me feel unsafe and they were really dirty and didn’t smell pleasant. However the road eventually led to a haven called Montmarte which was really good place to spend time.

Montmartre is a beautiful hill in Paris, located 30 minutes from the city center. It is also known as the "Top of Paris" and is home to the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur at its summit.This small village has a quiet ambiance with many beautiful alleys, restaurants, cafes, and shops. It's a great spot to relax and take a break from the busy Paris city life.

This is a beautiful church where you can sit and have a few moments of peace. One thing to note is that the lines can become pretty big (although the entry is free). It is better to come to this place well ahead of time. You can also get a vintage newspaper photo if you are lucky outside its premises.

All in all a great place for walking aimlessly and absorbing the atmosphere. Highly recommend to arrive with a prepared walking route with some explanations of where to go and what to look for so as not to miss out of special attractions.

Once home to Picasso and Dali, this is a charming village surrounded by arts craft and the sweet scent of coffee and pastry shops. The track up to the peak is capped by Montmartre Cathedral.

So beautiful and peaceful place. Nice view from the top. This place has been part of many Hollywood movies.

It was a sunny day in June when we came, it's not very crowded and we walked along the most beautiful streets at Montmartre leading to the way up. Atop you see at height the beautiful cityscape of Paris. The church is spectacular.

Montmartre is an absolute must visit area of Paris! The home of the Moulin Rouge and Sacre Coeur, this is the highest spot in the city of Paris and the climb up to the top is gradual and if you go on a guided tour (which we did) or not, you will be guaranteed to enjoy the trek all the way up.Before you get to the top, you will go through several winding stretches of streets filled with points of interests such as windmills, square where artists are painting and drawing, quaint parks, restaurants, cafes, shops etc.You should spend a good half day or more at Montmatre if time allows. But you could just walk through in a few hours and see the main spots.

Montmartre, a lovely, marvelous and picturesque neighborhood in Paris. It is well known for its artistic history, bohemian atmosphere and stunning views of the city. Tourists visiting Paris should add this to their itinerary.

Amazing place. It's a bit of a hike, but totally worth it for the magnificent church at the top and views.

Forever one of the best places for a city walk in Paris, offering stunning photo opportunities and panoramic views of the city. Plus, there are plenty of nearby eateries to enjoy some delicious cuisine

One of the places in Paris where you can easily spend an entire day is this magnificent church. The experience of climbing to the top is nothing short of excellent. They even have a convenient trolley-like transport to help you ascend.Of course, the highlight is the breathtaking view of Paris from the top. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in experiencing a spectacular panoramic view of Paris from above.

Montmartre is a paradise for art lovers and party animals alike! This neighborhood in Paris is bursting with character, from its winding streets to its vibrant nightlife. The Sacré-Cœur Basilica is the crown jewel, offering epic views of the city that will blow your mind.It is packed with cool stuff to do and see. You can wander through the cobblestone streets, checking out all the cute little shops and cafes. And don't forget to swing by Place du Tertre, where artists set up shop to sell their masterpieces.And let's talk about the nightlife. Montmartre knows how to party! From hipster bars to underground clubs, there's something for everyone here. And of course, you can't miss the Moulin Rouge, where you can catch a cabaret show that'll leave you speechless.

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

Excellent park for thrill seekers! Lots of roller-coasters and otherwise sensational rides. The Roman VS Gallois show is also a must see! The food is well priced, as are the fast pass tickets. I definitely recommend this park!!

Spent 2 days here, the park was fairly busy. Having last visited 22 years ago it was amazing to see all the changes. The park oozes quality but with its unique and insane storytelling at heart. Combines with excellent Staff, world class rides and exceptional themeing this really is one of Europes best theme parks.

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

Lovely Parc for all ages. Everything is easily and quickly reachable and there are rides for all ages and for all appetites from thrill seekers to young children. The entertainment shows and excellent and give some people a welcome sit down in between bouts of rides!

wonderful experience. I just wish I could stay longer. I just didn't have enough .I want to go again .everything was entertaining. no dull moment. food was good bit pricey but affordable. rides were super fun and all the praids and show every here and there .I so love Egypt and the act and dance music was thrilling .

Nice amusem*nt park! 🎢🎡🎠 Lots of attractions for kids and thrill seekers! Coming around Christmas was great! Queues were not too long but can imagine on a sunny day you spend most of the time waiting. The theaters and shows were great.

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

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

So much fun! It has the most exciting roller coaster (compared to Disneyland 👀). Prices are reasonable food wise, but you can also bring you own food. Definitely go to “Attention Menhir!” attraction, it’s a 4D movie and even though I don’t speak French it was so much fun! Will 100% come back in the future!

Lovely park with more than 40 attractions and live shows. Great for family with kids. Rides fits different ages and hight. Food and beverage are everywhere with lots of options.

Great roller coaster experience. I would definitely recommend to a spend a day here. You can come with your bag. Do not forget to bring bunch of water because they are charging 3.30 for water which I think is crazy. At least water price would be lower. Staff is friendly and cautious.

AmazingFor all agesIf you have kids under 12 years old, book the tickets from website will be free, but I don’t know This is permanent or seasonal

Great and massive place, but I believe you need for sure 2 days! Even though it is far from Paris, it's worth the effort!

We had the best time at this Parc and hotel. Highly recommend. Great for family or thrill seekers. Exceeded our expectations. Queues midday were getting long. So recommend the fast passes in peak season.

Exciting play ground for kids 👏 and families all year round. Occasionally closed for maintenance in winter. You have to try the Zeus and the blue roller coasters! Christmas gardens was so colourful I had to take some pictures

I love it. The park is nicely decorated. What I like about it is that there are a lot of rollercoasters for adults and not only for kids like in Disneyland. I put 4 stars because the waiting time is way too long. 1h30 approx for each rollercoaster.

Lots of fun to visit. A variety of rides for all ages and preferences. The shoes were nicely spaced out through the day. We stayed on property and it was super convenient to get to the park and thru security.

Beautiful winter day. Great park with loads of rides and play areas in a small area! Can see your favourite characters and discover some new ones.

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

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

That was heckin AMAZING. My experience was super. Never had so much fun in my life. The management of every ride is very fluent.So much thrill and so much fun. I loved every attractions. The new ride which is Toutatis it was very scary and thrilling but fun at the same time.If you want to enjoy every corner of the park 7-8 hour is recommended.I had a very good. I will come back for sure. Yahoo!!!

Can't believe it took me this long to visit, but normally we drive past on our way to Disneyland and then we've had our share of theme park excitement for a while. This Halloween however we made it a point to visit and try the new coaster.Both Toutatis and the park surprised, as did the hotel and Halloween celebrations. We'll definitely return.

A wonderful memorial. Spend some time here to reflect on the men who walked through on their way to war and never returned. Be sure to catch "The Last Post" ceremony at 8:00 every evening. Be there 30 minutes early to catch a good viewing point.

Went to the last lost ceremony. What a service. A genuinely beautiful thing. It is under construction at the moment as the stone has become a bit weathered, i think. It is still a strengely beautiful place. If you're in the area...8pm every evening... get yourself there for the last post ceremony.

Currently under major renovation so most of memorial under cover. Last Post at 8pm each night. Work will take a couple of years at present. Still a magical, thought-provoking place

This memorial is currently undergoing a large renovation & sadly meant that it is currently covered with scaffolding & tarpaulins. That aside it is still a magnificent memorial & attending the last post at 8pm every night should be a priority visit if you are anywhere nearby. It is well attended so get there early to get a good spot to watch the very moving ceremony. We will remember them.

This is a WW1 memorial in Ypres, Belgium dedicated to the soldiers of British and Commonwealth whose graves are unknown. I & Family read there aloud a poem The Flanders Fields by John McCrae and we all were very moved visiting this monument and various Military Cementaries.

Excellent. A fitting & moving monument to the soldiers & service men & women of The Great War. The daily evening service provides a few minutes to reflect & ponder the past as well as the future.The thought of so many with unknown graves is so sad. The people of Flanders & in particular Ypres to maintain such a monument & tradition is testimony to their gratitude to those who died.

Important!The site is undergoing maintenance for all of 2023 so the gate is covered with scaffolding.The site is astounding and worth a visit if you're in the city.Every evening they pay tribute to those named here and lay wreaths to the fallen with buglers performing the last post. This tends to get very busy so be sure to arrive early.

One of the most beautiful and moving memorials I have ever seen.I have attended the Last Post Ceremony here on three separate occasions with my school and every single time moves me to tears. It's such a special ceremony for the children to witness and be a part of.Cannot wait for the restoration work to be finished!

A very sobering experience. To see the 50,000+ names makes them people and not just part of a statistic. The remembrance ceremony at 20.00hrs each day is very well done, is somber, and they do ask people not to applaud.

Such an evocative place.So, many names of those who have no known grave and from so many different nations.It is a sobering experience just to see so many names, ranks, regiments.On the right hand side (if approaching from town) and just before you go under the gate there is a slope, if you walk up there you can find the Indian and the Ghurka memorials. There is also a fabulous scale model of the Menin Gate with Braille panels for those with a visual impairment.You won't be disappointed and if in the area it is a must see monument to those who gave their tomorrow's for our today's.

Amazing experience this. Playing of the last post. Every night at 8pm. Loads of people came to see it. Very moving experience. Something you must see in your life. Highly recommend. Would even of made a long trip to see it.

The monument is being refurbished but is still impressive. Attended the daily 8pm Last Post ceremony, which was well done and meaningful, honoring the WWI fallen on the Allied side. Highly recommended!

Our generation need to remember and salute those who fought but had no future themselves.The quiet restrained experience of listening to those 3 bugles makes you feel humble in this torrid world."Give peace a chance" If only !

A place everyone needs to visit and see and listen to the last Post being played. Currently under going restoration till 2025 but still a place of reflection.Set at the gate of the walls of Ypres this is a peaceful site to remember those fallen in WW1.

We attended the Last Post Ceremony which takes place at 8pm daily. A very moving act if remembrance. Get there early so you can see what's going on.

We visited this beautifully reconstructed town, and watched the Last Post ceremony inside the Arch itself.A very moving experience.

Only reason for 4 stars is scaffolding is up so couldnt see the actual gate but went there for armistice day and watched the last post ceremony from the town centre and it was a beautiful service

This is an absolute must visit along with the beautiful town of Ypres, whether a history buff or a casual visitor. Don't miss the the Last Post at the Menin Gate a ceremony that has been performed every evening since the Menin Gate memorial was opened. Plenty of accommodation and restaurants in Ypres.⁹To the memory of the fallen.Lest we forget ❤️ 🌹

A fantastic experience to attend the Last Post at the Menin Gate. Very emotional and a beautiful place, even with the scaffolding around it. Highly recommend 👌

A truly humbling experience. This was the highlight of our short trip to Belgium. A must visit for those wishing to pay their respects.

I've been to the last post ceremony many times, and it is as moving as ever. The extensive renovation works do not detract from the atmosphere. Utterly superb

7/7/23 Our Visit to Ypres Menin Gate in memory of a Great Uncle who fought and lost his life in WW1 Private Edward Victor Halksworth commemorated at Menin Gate Memorial. Unfortunately due to restoration work the panels were under scaffolding so visitors are unable to view them.

They’re undertaking a huge renovation on the Menin Gate, so we were unable to see it in all its grandeur, but most of the name panels are visible still inside which gives you a hugely powerful impression of just how many men are missing from the war. It truly is a vast number.Although we’d have loved to have seen the gate in all its glory, we’re happy that they’re undertaking such a significant renovation to ensure that this important memorial remains in great condition for future generations.

I already visited the Menin Gate many times in my life and when I did yesterday 26.09.23 I found the Gate currently being restored which of course was a shame. However, I fully understand the necessity of doing so and look forward to see the Gate again in its full beauty.The Poppies wreath is to be found in front of the Gate about 50 mtrs further down the road.Lest we forget 🏵️

Was such a great atmosphere! The evening last post ceremony was incredible and something I will never ever forget. Would definitely recommend watching the ceremony as it's amazing to witness. The only reason for the 4/5 instead of 5/5 stars was because unfortunately when we visited there was scaffolding up but that can't be helped-hoping to visit again when the scaffolding is gone!

Under repair/ cleaning but clearly a beautiful place. The last post ceremony was very nice.

A wonderful experience and it changes daily. Yup put have to get there at least 30mins before or longer before 8pm as there are LOTS of people. The service is roughly 15mins depending on who is there. A sobering experience and a great way to remember the fallen.

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

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

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

A bit smaller park than the disneyland one, but still as fun! The day can be more chill and no rush to do all the rides as you can do them all in half day (if it's not too busy).A different vibe than the neighbouring park, but still has it's own magic, fun, and details that don't disappoint 🥰Excited for the new frozen world to open soon!

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

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

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

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

On July 15, 2024, while feeling bored and tired at the nearby Disneyland, my wife took me here. We first watched the last show of Together which was very entertaining and I loved the Pixar band. Then we watch the musicals of Dream Factory and Frozen which barely met our high expectations. We also tried the games, particularly visiting the Hollywood Tower Hotel, which was actually the tall infrastructure of a G-force game!

Magical place. Highly recommended place for Disney fans and who likes theme parks.Easily accessible from Paris and nearby major cities by train.There are two parks: the main one and Hollywood studio. Plus the village which has good number of stores and can be accessed for free.

It was a great experience to visit the Disney studio... It is not that big like a disneyland Park but certainly it has a different things in here theatre experience and rides some and also there are plenty of shops cafe and also that park have marvel themed things from caption America to guardians of the galaxy so it was full of adventure and with kids they enjoy a lot..... So to spend best time you can go over there

Extremely underrated park. I absolutely loved the Ratatouille Ride, absolutely loved the thrill and the excitement with the Tower Of Terror.My favourite ride was the Tram Tour. That rude was so informative and so fun. It renewed my love for cinema and film making.

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

I went to Disneyland Paris with my family and we really enjoyed it. Lots of rides to enjoy from and the best part is we could take our 3 year old son for most of them along except for one or two rides which had height requirements. I would recommend to visit both parks as they have their distinctive attractions. One park is the Disneyland park which has its attractions based off their most iconic characters. The other park is the Walt Disney park which has its Marvel themed attractions and rides and many more associated with their motion pictures characters. But if you do plan to visit Disneyland Paris then please don’t miss the Lion king live show because it takes you on a nostalgic journey and it’s absolutely worth the money

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

Parc tematic de distracții! Merită încercat măcar o dată în viață! Recomand rezervarea biletelor din timp!(Translated by Google)Amusem*nt park! It's worth trying at least once in your life! I recommend booking tickets in advance!

You're never too old for a sprinkle of Disneyland magic, and my recent jaunt to Disney Studios Park proved just that! Opting for the cinematic thrills next door to Disneyland itself, I felt like a kid on the red carpet, ready to dive into the movie-making universe. Here’s the lowdown for fellow adventurers:Plan to spend a solid 6 hours – there’s enough star-studded action to fill your day. Skip the fast track tickets; the real insider move is the singles track, which zips you past the long queues with the flair of a Hollywood escape scene.Now, onto the budget-buster: the food. Yes, it's priced like you're dining with the stars, but the culinary delights at Pym's and Stark Factory are worth the splurge. Think of it as dining in style in the Marvel universe—where every meal is super-powered.Every show in the park is a blockbuster hit, so don’t miss any! From stunt spectaculars to enchanting animations, it’s a full schedule of Oscars-worthy performances.However, I must admit, a tinge of regret lingered as I missed the legendary Disneyland next door, with its iconic parade, mesmerizing drone show, and fireworks that could put a Hollywood premiere to shame. Note to self and others: maybe next time, double-feature it and hit both parks!And, if you're a fan of the Avengers, the Avengers Arena is not to be missed. It's as happening as a superhero gala premiere. Make sure you hit all the rides and attractions; it's non-stop action that will have you feeling part of the team.In summary, Disney Studios Park might just be the best 'sequel' Disneyland has ever produced—full of action, a touch of drama, and lots of laughs. Definitely a must-visit for those who like their theme parks with a touch of Hollywood flair!

Small but fun Disney park, could be done in one day no problem. Best ride would be Crush’s Coaster, but plenty of others too. Avengers Campus is really well done, and the forthcoming Frozen land will no doubt be amazing.

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

Was great to see the Avengers Campus on our first visit since it opened. The characters and shows are good fun to watch. The new rides on campus are good. Spiderman web ride is worth the wait but avengers flight force was the best.

This park is very small and there were so much Contruction going on, not the best first impression visiting Disney Studios. Not much to do here at the moment. Our favorite ride here is the tower of terror and ratatouille ride! Our favorite was the Nemo coaster ride and we did this ride first thing in the morning. We did have reservations for Bistrot Chez Remy, it’s very expensive for the quality of food, basically you pay to have that Disney experience and my kids love it since they love the ratatouille movie. Will visit this park again in the future when all construction is done.

Lots of work underway in preparation for the Summer/Olympics so even the entrance is rather underwhelming. However Marvel Campus is spectacular, the shows were all great and Toy Story rides enjoyed by all. Probably only need a full day if doing 2 shows, a superhero encounter or particularly long ride wait times.

So much fun! Attractions, rides, shows, characters; Disneyland has it all. Be prepared to queue for the fun though.

Disney Studips is a great 1/2 day park, magic of the movies but mostly Marvel now. Fun park with some great rides but half of the park is now focused on the Marvel IP. It is still a good park but may not be everyone's favourite, great rides and themeing.

The Studios park is very small (half the size of the main Paris park, and I believe the smallest in the world), yet it still has some great rides for all ages. I particularly enjoyed the Avengers coaster, Crush's coaster and the Tower of Terror for their 'big thrills' and a solid nod to Ratatouille and Spider-Man for their fun and unique rides. There were also a few rides that we were able to take our 1-year-old on, so that was nice and important to us as well.

Absolutely stupendous, loved everything about it, the scenery, the rides, the staff, nothing was too much trouble. And we want to go again fantastic.

Amazing theme park!Smaller one than Disneyland but pretty amazing with great atractions, Marvel atractions with The characters around, Ratatouille zone, and the Amazing Tower!The entrance IS so good!Has restaurants, shops, atractions and many more!No doubt it's so proud also to worked on some of The movies of The studio!

Love Disney!! We did 2 days whilst staying at parks nature! We booked the tickets via the dinsey website and used the Disney app whilst at the resort. Queues were short and shopping was good!

OMG!!! Park is terrible, half of the attractions closed, there is no Disney magic at all. 130 for both parks plus 30 for parking!!! Thats a robbery!

Magical and fantastic experience from start to finish. The theming is phenomenal, it's clean, and the staff are friendly. We will be coming back, time and time again!

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

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

Studios is a dump. We spent 3 full days visiting the two parks. Studios is a building site. 4 rides broke while we were on queues. When you walk in, everyone is crammed into a small alley and you make your way to the top, 2 way traffic.At the top, left is for avenger area and right is for everything else.Good points. If you have fussy eats and only eat chips/fries, head right and look fir a green food truck. 5euro is fine as kid will eat them. Ok, I had to buy two but it was the only one that sold chips.Avenger area. Virtual queue is need to meet either an avenger or spiderman. You must be in the park to book it and it is either spiderman or avenger. Characters are amazing. Child has a disability and was having an off day but Thor was amazing, kind and went above and beyond.Rides were good too.Toy store area. Jess was booked but never arrived. Luckily staff helped us get Woodie. Rides were grand for the kids.Crush was great. We paid 16euro each for fast pass as day before, ride broke after 1 hour queuing.Bit squash in most areas.Little to not seating.People walking around smoking and vaping, again no staff around or security.Alot of smoking areas which is fine. However when you walk out of Disney Junior show, you walk into a smoking area. They beside toilets too.Park can be done in a day but it was very disappointing.

Amazing park, they are currently constructing a lot so that does decrease the experience a little. I would suggest waiting for the construction to be finished.They are also building Frozen Land. Nice to see that this park is finally getting some love from our American friends.

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

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

It was the best experience of my life 😍 this is a really great park, I visited twice and every time it is like a dream come true.

Happiest place on earth !Me and my partner loved every minute of it, soon as you walk through the gates you get this overwhelming feeling of excitement. My partner who is not a big Disney fan was surprised how much he enjoyed himself. The food was really good, especially the hot dogs and big pretzels!We went on many rides, the lines for the rides weren’t overly long. October is a great time to go!

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

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

To be honest, I'm not a big Disney fan—its golden age was in the 90s.However, I stayed here for a few days in one of the hotels. Upon arrival, it felt like we were being herded: waiting in line, going through security checks, then waiting again to check our luggage. Even at the end of the day in the park, staff used light wands to guide us to the exit, similar to being on an airport runway.Comparing this place to theme parks in America isn't fair, since this is a different country hosting an American theme park. So, those comparisons should stop.The restaurants get crowded fast, so you need to make reservations early; otherwise, your favorite spots might be unavailable. Some places don't need reservations, but strangely, some were always closed.There are several parades and dance shows throughout the day. The park has many shops, but most of them sell the same items—there's not much variety.Also, these 'top tier' hotels don't have refrigerators, which is strange.Despite all that, we had fun and made great memories. We'll probably visit again next year.

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

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

Went there a few Christmas’ ago but always forgot to post my review.What can I say other than, I absolutely love this place. Everything is magical, everything is beautiful!We took fast pass cards and slept at one of the hotels there, everything went perfectly and smoothly.I came back a few times after that and everything still is as magical and amazing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Disneyland Park is absolutely breathtaking. The park is beautifully designed, creating a magical atmosphere that captivates visitors of all ages. There’s an abundance of activities to enjoy, from thrilling rides to enchanting shows. Every attraction is impeccably themed, transporting you into different worlds with incredible detail and creativity. Whether you’re meeting your favorite characters, watching a spectacular parade, or experiencing the excitement of the rides, there’s always something amazing to do. Disneyland Park truly offers a magical experience like no other.

Huge place. Impressive rides but lots and lots of people, even on an off day. So be Prepared to wait in lines and such. Can get some premium passes if you want to skip them. But the rides are amazing. The setup is spectacular!

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

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

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

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

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

The rides were fun. The lines were long. I also saw purple guy there. I got a cowboy themed drink. It had ice cream. I liked the firework show the best, the crowd was so full though and I am tiny so I couldn’t see that well.

Great experience, the whole family loved it.Make sure you take good walking shoes as we walked upto 20 miles per day.plenty of rides for all ages and shows to entertain you.Street parades are fun and the lights and fireworks show are well worth staying late for.

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

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

Although the park was really busy all the time we had a fast pass to skip the queues, and it was worth it. All the rides were awesome especially hotel of terrors, avengers flight force, space mountain and thunder mountain. We managed to meet a lot of characters and saw some parades. Would recommend to all ages, we really enjoyed ourselves

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

It was a wonderful and fantastic experience. Need at least 2 days to cover most of experience in 2 parks . Really beautiful very attractive. My daughter and son was enjoy it lot and we all felt love that place instantly. It was a bit crowded and rainy in May but I missed April half term holidays. Site is very clean and staff was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely would be visit again. 😍😍

Disneyland will forever be a place of immense joy for me. I had the absolute best time there with friends. The staff were great in making sure the paths were as save as possible after snow hit. The new drone light show was unbelievable and it was just great fun!

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

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

I went back in July 14th 2022! I loved it so much! The staff were friendly and helpful for me and my friends who I visited with! The ride queue was long as we expected but the wait was worth it! Some rides took longer than others which is normal! I downloaded the app to help navigate the park and it was extremely helpful- I recommend it! There is lots to see, so many small details that can capture your attention. It has a wonderful environment in Disneyland Paris! I visited in extremely hot heat (a heatwave) and there was nice cold water available to get and fill your water bottle up with! I will be visiting again!

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

Disney is a wonderful place just be prepared. It’s huge!! But there are thousands of people with the same ideas. Take snacks, take water be prepared to queue. Few tips, lunch times when family’s go for lunch is a great time to queue, the same goes for 5-6pm. You don’t need to be in the park to see the fireworks, it gets really busy and impossible to get out of. If flying in from the UK, book the fast train, slightly more expensive but only takes 10 mins to get to the park vs the hour of the normal train out of the airport.

The experience is very good, because you really don't need to wait in line for a long time to play the rides you like! Compared to Shanghai Disney, Hong Kong Disney and Japan Disney, there are so many people. Paris Disney is really great! I have never played so many rides in one day!

And they wish you a good day, bonjour.You can easily visit the park in half a day without any attractions.Security at entrance. And in the park. Safe.

I really like this place, when I go in the spring the weather is a bit cold but the sun is beautiful. The wait was a bit long because many families traveled. Stay until 11pm to prepare to watch the fireworks. I was very happy🙇🏻‍♀️🥺

Absolutely stunning! The price is stunning too, but in a bad way. The rides were great, the scenery was great, and everything was overall great. Were it not for the price, this would’ve gotten 5 stars. Highly recommend!

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

Very clean park, massive amount to do over three days. Signs for the hotels coming off the train could be better but there’s some renovations going on which makes it a bit confusing.Marvel hotel is amazing. Highly recommend.

What a fantastic place to visit, it was a family trip in remembrance of my father who had recently passed away, he would have been in his element, so it was my husband and I, 3 of our sons with wives and children. It was so much fun for the kids, and for the grown up kids. You just can't gauge how big the place is until you visit. We all want to go back. The fantastic staff help make it a few days to remember. I will add photos later, they have not allowed me to post this before so have been refused the post, I will put photos on soon that don't have people on.

A UNESCO world heritage site located in the heart of the city. Absolutely stunning as it stands high in the sky. I could not stop admiring it as I stood for a long moment in the market square. Buying the tickets in advance is absolutely recommended. Unfortunately we could not enter inside because of the long waiting time, but the pictures from other visitors look really promising. Will definitely go to the top in our next visit.

Amazing landmark with a lovely view. Be aware that you have to climb all the way up as this requires significant physical effort. Book your tickets in advance in the machine at the entrance.

It’s the city centre of Brugge (a city of historic importance in Belgium). This place has wonderful 360 degree panoramic views with beautiful architecture in Bruges. This area is surrounded by coffee shops, shopping area, stores and restaurants are nearby. The center is always lively. It's a must visit area if you are in Bruges.

800 year old clock tower of Bruges with 366 steps up to the top. Well worth the ticket price for the views from the top. If you book your tickets for 20 minutes before the hour, you should make it to the top as the clock chimes. Amazing experience.

Valuable time spent well with a climb to the top. Staff were friendly and helpful. Especially the kindly spoken young lad with the 3 day growth.The walk to the top was a tight fit at times and rewards the punter with not only an amazing view but a close up demonstration of the bells at work every 15 minutes. Beautiful Bruges

Magnificent specimen of architecture!You must visit the Belfry during different times of the day. At dawn, it's tranquil and you can enjoy the tower without the distractions of large crowds. At night, the lighting brings out a different side of the tower. In the afternoons, there is a lot of commercial activity in the square and you can see the square being enjoyed by the locals.See the photos and videos for views of the Belfry and its chimes being played.It is unfortunate that lots two stroke motorcycles and mopeds regularly pass through the square and disturb the peace. They are so incongruous here.

The city’s primary landmark and tourist attraction. The climb is only for the very fit but the rest of the building and its square are a nice place to just hang out and soak in the city.Tourist trap alert: there are many “rickshaws” you can rent from the square for a city tour.

Man sagt: Brügge sehen....und sterben?Ich sage: Brügge sehen....und sich verlieben!!Brügge ist ein Märchen - 🧙‍♂️Eine der schönsten Städte, die ich je gesehen habe. Und ab sofort meine Lieblingsstadt mit magischem Flair.Brügge lässt sich nicht in ein paar Highlights zusammenfassen. Die inoffizielle Hauptstadt der Romantik ist ein absoluter Höhepunkt. Das gesamte Stadtzentrum gehört zum UNESCO-Kulturerbe. Man kommt dort aus dem Staunen gar nicht mehr heraus.(Translated by Google)They say: see Bruges...and die?I say: see Bruges...and fall in love!!Bruges is a fairy tale - 🧙‍♂️One of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen. And now my favorite city with a magical flair.Bruges cannot be summed up in a few highlights. The unofficial capital of romance is an absolute highlight. The entire city center is a UNESCO cultural heritage site. You can't help but be amazed there.

Beautiful place to visit. Kept it medieval characters well preserved. Not far from Brussels and it's only a 1hr train ride.

Historic bell tower in the city center of Bruges. There are about 275 steps to the top and the view from up there is worth the climb. You can have a panoramic view of the old city with canals and other churches and towers. If you have time, then I suggest that you book the tickets in advance to watch the sunset, if the weather permits.

We paid 15 Euro to climb the 366 steps and it can be quite dizzy because of the constant spiral loop. But it didn’t take as long as we thought, nor was it as tiring as expected. There are platforms at different levels with information where you can take a respite from the climb. Beautiful view once you reach the top.

I had a nice time there. Excellent view from the top, but be ready for a long climb up. We did not buy tickets in advance, all were sold but luckily someone did not show so they let us in. I would advice you to buy tickets in advance, not to risk. People working there are polite and welcoming.

An amazing experience, really enjoyable. I recommend go early, we did the first session of the day as it wasn't too crowded. You do need a reasonable level of fitness to climb the 366 steps.

Nice view from the top of it but unfortunately there is net all around so you can take good picture with the view. Booked your ticket online to climb up 300 stairs. It is interesting to see the inside and learned some history. The stairs are a bit steep but given that they control the amount of people going up per time slot it’s not too crowded.

Most charming and beautiful little village. You can't miss it, trust me! Just one hour by train from brussels. Everything is so beautiful and romantic. With or without rain. A perfect place to visit ❤️

Climbing the belfry was an amazing experience. It is not as tiring as I expected, since there are stops along the way up where one can rest. That said, the ticket price (at €14 on my visit) was a little much for a simple access to the steps with no extra features.

A must visit if you're in Bruges...and definitely if you've seen the movie. Tickets can be bought at the time or in allocated time slots in advance online. The stairs start off reasonably wide but get very narrow the nearer you get to the top.Anyon of a reasonable fitness level will be perfectly fine but don't worry as there are a few zooms on the way up that you can stop at should you need a rest.The views from the top are stunning although there is a wire mesh covering all the openings at the top. If the bell tolls at the top it will.probably make you jump.Overall I'd say it's pretty good value for money

Historic place to see in Bruges. Lost of cafe and restaurant nearby. The centre in front of belfry is always lively. The look from the history museum of Bruges is nice, covering the centre, belfry and all around. Must visit area. Will also find the city tour van and tourists guide in front of it.

Recommend you buy tickets online in advance, or at the vending machine at the bottom of the tower , or last instance at the entrance.There are tickets / time-slots , so they run fast (I think max 25 for every 20min)The climb is indeed manageable, as there are floors in between.

Really enjoyed going up the Belfry, 300+ steps, but worth the price and effort to get amazing views over Antwerp. As you ascend, there are areas to rest, if needed, and learn more about the belfrys history.If you time it right, you will also see and hear the huge musical drum work as it strikes the time.The top bit is protected from birds by a black plastic mesh, but its easy to get round this for photos, by lining up your phone or camera lens to get the awesome pics! Staff were friendly and welcoming too👍

Very worthwhile to visit and to take all 366 stairs to the highest accessible point. Mind you, stairs are quite narrow and it takes a serious effort. Breathtaking view especially with clear weather, obviously. Ticket vending machine can be found in the passage that goes under/through the belfry tower building.

I enjoyed climbing up this tower. You can see Brugge 360 degrees.Also, we were up there when the bell rung. It was loud but it was very neat to see the hammer hitting the bell...If you want to go to this tower and a number other points of interests in Brugge, get the Museum package for 3 days. It is worth it.

Great fun going up the 366 narrow winding steps. We picked a very windy day which added to the experience!! An amazing mechanical display as well as the bells and you can hear them playing tunes at certain times.

Bruges all the way-- locals are more of the unfriendly side but that may be triggered by the sheer about of tourists... The buildings are beautiful , amazing, gorgeous....you seem to step back in history. Take a 70€ cottage ride that leaves from across the Belfry (cash only). 30 lovely minute ride with some explanations to history.

Befort is nice to visit. A interesting building with a long history. The displays are nice explained. The dragon is the highlight for me. Seeing the size of this (old) sculpture is impressing. Even on a rainy day, you can have a wonderful view on the city. The second highlight is the clock mechanics. Take you time to wait until the clockwork starts (all 15 minutes).

Well, you have to have physical condition to be able to climb the stairs, I still saw gentlemen of the elderly going down with caution. It is worth reaching the top and listening to its more than 59 bells that work perfectly. The view at the top is the best.

Very nice climb up to the top. Around 300 stairs and they are pretty narrow, so be prepared. You get some great views of the city and beyond on a clear day.

It was great experience to walk true 366 stairs. When we were there it was not so busy with the tourists, so it was even better. You need to be ready you will walk up and how you are getting up space is getting smaller. You can buy ticket online but also in front of the tower on maschine. They are letting in like every 30 min if I remember good 20 people. Ticket was 15 euro. This is the place you have to visit if you are going in Bruges. View from up is wonderful and upstairs you can see big 🔔 bells.

You pay 15 euros to climb narrow flights and flights of stairs. Its totally worth the all around city views but you need your good lungs there! Also if you like bells and music and big clockwork mexhanism, this place is for you!

Brügge muss man gesehen haben. Für uns war es ein sehr schöner Tag. Der große Marktplatz ist sehr Eindrucksvoll. Am Marktplatz stehen Pferdekutschen,mit denen man eine Rundfahrt machen kann. Ebenso sind auch die Bootstouren durch die Kanäle sehr Eindrucksvoll. Belgische Schokolade muss man einfach lieben. Wo man auch hinschaut leckeres Essen.Wer nach Brügge kommt, sollte unbedingt die Brüsseler und auch die Belgischen frischen Waffeln probieren,denn diese sind einfach köstlich.(Translated by Google)Bruges is a must-see. It was a very nice day for us. The large market square is very impressive. There are horse-drawn carriages at the market square with which you can take a tour. The boat tours through the canals are also very impressive. You just have to love Belgian chocolate. Everywhere you look there is delicious food.If you come to Bruges, you should definitely try the Brussels and Belgian fresh waffles, because they are simply delicious.

Stunning and breathtaking piece of architecture/sight/landmark. It is one of the most iconic and well-known symbols of the city and one of the oldest preserved historical buildings in Bruges. It always reminds me of the classic - In Bruges.Recommended to visit early or late when the view is not obstructed by the huge crowd of tourists.

We climbed up in the evening after dark. I imagine the views would have been better during the daylight hours but it was still nice to see the city lights and also the history of the tower. The stairs aren't too difficult to climb (for an early 30s couple) with plenty of landings and floors to take breaks at, however the spiral staircase is quite narrow in places so maybe not the best for people who are nervous of confined spaces. We bought tickets online in advance and not have to queue to get in.

You get to see a great view of the city, but not anything special. I recommend to book your ticket prior to your visit there, so you can get in at the time you want, however you can book the ticket the same day at the entrance, but probably there will be a spot at least a couple of hours later.There're 366 steps you get to climb, some of them were really small; dutch-type steps.I don't believe it's worth the 15€.

The Belfry of Bruges isn't just a climb, it's a journey through time. This UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts stunning views from its 366-step summit, showcasing the city's red-roofed charm. But the climb itself is an adventure, with historical exhibits along the way. Be prepared for some narrow staircases, but the reward is breathtaking. For history lovers, don't miss the chance to see the impressive carillon with its 47 bells. This iconic landmark is a must-do for any Bruges adventure!

The tower has great views from the top but there is protective wiring all round. Some really cool history from the In bruges movie. The stairs is very narrow in spots no wounder the American in the movie got stuck. Quote "I wouldn't go up there its really narrow" 🤣🤣🤣

Amazing view of the city and the literal central point of the city. We reserved and booked time slots the day before to go up but also it sells out quickly so try to book as early as possible. We also went on a weekend but it was in February. Lots of climbing but its not too bad, there are multiple levels you can stop and relax. The one right before the top is nice, you can see how the bells work. Last is the pure lookout point and you have a nice view of the city.

366 Stufen bis zur Spitze und der letzte Abschnitt ist sehr eng, aber es lohnt sich!Von oben hat man einen tollen Überblick über Brügge. Es gibt mehrere Zwischenebenen auf denen man kurz Luft schnappen und sich einige Ausstellungsstücke und Infotafeln anschauen kann. Man sollte einen Timeslot buchen, dann muss man nicht warten.(Translated by Google)366 steps to the top and the last section is very narrow but worth it!From above you have a great overview of Bruges. There are several intermediate levels where you can take a quick breath and look at some exhibits and information boards. You should book a timeslot so you don't have to wait.

I came here early June because I loved the movie. The movie was set in winter I assume because in summer there are soooooooooo many tourists! Lots of cafe and restaurants. I loved the buildings but when you fighting again tide of people going the other way you have to say...should they restrict the numbers?. A tourist spot shouldne more than lovely old buildings. Sure there are some museums but maybe there should be more buildings to enter.

Towering over Bruges' Market Square, the Belfry isn't just a view, it's a climb worth taking! 366 steps lead you to the top, rewarding you with panoramic views of this medieval city. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it's not just a bell tower, but a symbol of Bruges' rich history and power. The bells still chime, adding to the city's charm!

The Belfort or Belfry is the iconic landmark in the center of Bruges. It’s a medieval bell tower built around the year 1240. We bought tickets online for a Tuesday 9:40 time slot. The booking system is super easy because it tells you how many tickets are left for each time slot, and you don’t need to book too far in advance. There weren’t too many people when we went but there were already people coming back down.There are some areas of the climb that are narrow, so just be mindful of that. It took us about 15 minutes to get to the top and when you get up there, it is so cool! You see the actual bell (beware, it’s LOUD, obviously since you’re right next to it) and you can look down on the square. Although it’s not a complete 360 view since the bell blocks some of the access, it’s still a sight to see. The whole experience from going up, taking photos at the top, coming back down took us about 45 minutes. It did start getting a bit more crowded when we were heading back down, so my recommendation is to go early.Definitely a must see if you’re in Bruges!

We really wanted to visit it and when we arrived at 16.55 there was only one ticket available from 17.00. The gentlemen at the counter were very kind and still gave us two tickets.If you can plan to arrive at a certain time, I recommend you book tickets, otherwise you might not find tickets.The access staircase is quite narrow and those going down have priority.It is worth 15 euros and all the 366 steps for a fantastic view.

We loved visiting this spot. Great views of this from the main square. We planned to climb up the bell tower which is 366 steps, but there was a wait of two hours so we ended up skipping it.

I just fell in love with this city... We visited the belfry tower.. It has steps to climb. There was some construction work going on too... Overall we loved the vibes of the city. We sat near the tower and enjoyed our family time. Buggies are also available. But the main attraction was the chocolates shops.. You just can't resist.

What to say about this beautiful architecture. A building full of sculptures and details, all I can do is admire the work.

Ghent Town Hall is a complex of buildings surrounding the Botermarkt square. Construction of the Town Hall began in the 15th century and continued until the 17th century, but was never completed according to the original plan. The Town Hall has 51 rooms. The Town Hall symbolises the history and culture of the city of Ghent.

Wonderful location and surroundings at night. Feels like time travel into the past, with historic buildings in the area, no cars due to the pedestrian zone, and only a few tourists around. I couldn’t imagine Gent being so beautiful, but the City Hall is definitely one of the landmarks.

Everyone talks about Brugge but let me tell you Ghent we fell in love with. Same feel and look but less popular and I found to be more beautiful. Definitely stop here it is so so beautiful and romantic and a place where they captured a time way before we were here. Castles and waffles heaven. You won't be disappointed.

Great for a quick site seeing expedition. Very nice Christmas market over December.

The town hall (Stadhuis) is a great piece of art in the finest Gothic form richly decorated with statues. It looks beautiful during the day and luminates at night.

Ghent is located 30 minutes from Brussel. Small city but with beautiful architecture. We visited City Hall, Several Churches and the Graffiti street.

Nous sommes allés en vacances quelques jours en Belgique pour visiter bruges, gent, Bruxelles en février 2024.15 jours après notre retour nous avons reçu 4 contraventions pour avoir circuler en voiture en allant a l'hôtel pour motif interdit de circuler.C'est un piège à touristes très déçu car aucune signalisation .Très grosses arnaque à touristes.(Translated by Google)We went on vacation for a few days to Belgium to visit Bruges, Gent, Brussels in February 2024.15 days after our return we received 4 fines for driving by car on the way to the hotel for reasons prohibited from driving.It's a very disappointing tourist trap because there is no signage.Very big tourist scam.

Beautiful architectural buildings around this area..

Ghent City beautiful place in Belgium... With stunning architecture.. It's a great a stop off if your travelling from the UK to other parts of Europe... The people are lovey and friendly with lots to do.

This is one of the most beautiful zoos in the World. We actually stayed here with the polar bears for a couple of nights and it was simply breathtaking. I have to say that for me the best part was the bats. It was simply amazing to be in there with them while they flew near you in all directions; this was superb. Plan on being here for at least a couple of days, there is so much to see and you don’t want to miss any of it. It took us two days to see everything and then spent the third day seeing all the things we loved the most. The park is simply beautiful and very clean. All the animals look happy and they have plenty of room to roam around. I can say that the food prices are a bit steep for what it is so maybe a great choice to bring your own lunch. There are plenty of areas around the zoo to have lunch. We signed the kids up to feed the elephants and this was a cool experience for them. Overall highly recommend, beautiful place.

The park is amazing ! And continuously improving !Spent the night for the second time this year 😊 The first experience was so great we had to come back (and will come again) !Staying in a lodge is expensive but totally worth it, because you can enjoy the park later at night and earlier in the morning, when the one-day visitors have left 🤩 The park gets calm and the animals start their night life, always a pleasure to observe 😌Eating in the park is more than what you'd expect, some restaurants even offer more sophisticated menus, but comfort food can be found almost everywhere 😋 Don't forget location influences prices 😅The whole park is a must-see ! But still try and plan your visits with the feeding schedule, that way observing animals is more entertaining! This can be done very easily, using the paper map given upon entrance or the app, both free-of-charge 😊I strongly recommend visiting this zoological park, note that it has received multiple times the title of "Best Zoo of Europe" 🥇

This animal park is huge it has different worlds it has 7000 animals. We visited during Halloween there was spooky atmosphere staff in masks, music and other events, 3D light projections. You can spend a whole day and won't see everything. We had seasonal tickets for one year. Entrance is quite expensive but worth it. You can spend some time inside of the area where kids can play. There is also restaurants and many kiosks with food.

We stayed in the birds eye view tiger room and loved it! The tigers were so fun to watch! We also loved walking around the zoo. The polar bears were another favorite, they were so cute!!

I would highly recommend this zoo , the best zoo in the Eu, I was staying at the FarmVille, you are even very close to those cutie animals. I even saw a white kangaroo 🦘 over there which is one of the rarest animals specially in white.You will see more animals when you go there.

Though pricy, definitely one of if not the biggest and most aesthetically pleasing zoos I have visited. The enclosures are large, varied and well-maintained, and the animals seem to be well-taken care of. I will note that there is so much to see that you simply cannot fully experience everything in just a single day. Then again, I would very much consider another visit.

It has been one of the best zoos I have seen if not the best. Definitely worth a visit.It has incredible themes built around the zoo it's not only paintings it is buildings and beautiful gardens. I was visiting the zoo in December and was impressed I can only imagine how it would look more spectacular in the spring and summertime.

Beautiful park. And I highly recommend staying there. You need two days to cover it all! Snack food in the park is very overpriced, but you are allowed to bring your own food into the park, so next time I will just be bringing more. Overall, great experience and highly recommend.

Absolutely brilliant experience. It's one of the best zoos I have visited. Enclosures are well kept and very spacious. The bears are a must-see. You won't be disappointed. Well maintained and very clean. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.Will return!

it offers a memorable experience. From majestic pandas to exotic birds, the variety of animals is astounding. The lush, well-maintained enclosures mimic natural habitats, ensuring animal well-being. The park's architecture and gardens are amazing, complementing the animal exhibits. Dining options and engaging shows make it a full-day adventure. A delightful family outing, Pairi Daiza brings conservation and education to life.

Omg I wish to go back lot of times to the zoo. It’s not right to call Pairi Daiza a zoo. It’s rather a royal animal kingdom. You would get to see a variety of animals, birds, ambiences and habitats as per need of the animals. The place is huge so keep some good stamina to roam around but ensure you cover everything nicely and not miss out any of the beauty preserved inside. If you wish to frequently visit, the annual pass is a better option. Time flies inside there so plan the internal stuff nicely. Make the most out of the visit. And it’s cute to see animal’s getting feeded in their lunch times. If you are an animal lover, this place is heaven for you.

It's impressive but we had bad weather so experience was a little bit less wow than expected, also few restaurants were closed (maybe because it's not yet high season?).. Definitely worth of visiting and spending day there.

One of the best parks I’ve ever visited! It’s gigantic and very well kept. Even though there is a lot of people during the weekend we didn’t feel overwhelmed and crammed. Lovely for both kids and adults

Best zoo in Belgium, you can observe lots of animals in a close distance.For many of them , especially the big ones like elephants or gorillas, they have very huge place to live in. The train is one thing you can’t miss, on the train you can take a good look to the elephants domain, witch what is hard to visit by foot. The whole zoo is base on a old monastery “Cambron” and it’s beautiful. The beer “Cambron” blonde, I like it very much also.

Most probably the best zoo experience. I can imagine that all zoos should be like this - proper zones for animals, and good conditions. This place is probably the closest you will get short of a full safari. Great experience for kids. All places are built to be easily visited by kids, most areas are accessible with strollers. I recommend a full day. There is enough parking for everyone. Be sure to pay for the parking when buying your entrance.

A park is not cheap. But worth it!!! Giant! You have to come for a long time to have time to walk around and see all the animals. There are original animals that are not found in other zoos in Belgium. The guest rooms are amazing!! Worth every euro. the stay the cleanliness. And value for money.

Pairi Daiza covers an expansive area of approximately 140 acres, making it one of the largest zoos in Europe. The park is divided into different themed areas, each representing a specific region or habitat, such as the African Savannah, Indonesian Archipelago, and Kingdom of Ganesha. This place is home to a diverse range of animal species from around the world. Visitors can encounter animals like elephants, giraffes, lions, tigers, pandas, gorillas, penguins, and many more. The zoo places an emphasis on providing spacious and natural habitats for the animals, allowing them to thrive in environments that closely resemble their natural habitats. Alongside the animal exhibits, Pairi Daiza features stunning botanical gardens with a vast collection of plants and flowers. The gardens are beautifully landscaped, showcasing various themed areas like the Japanese Garden, Chinese Garden, and Rose Garden. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks, admire the colorful displays, and experience a tranquil atmosphere.These include ancient buildings, temples, pagodas, and other structures imported from different countries, creating an immersive experience reminiscent of a journey around there . The zoo is committed to the protection and preservation of endangered species, supporting various breeding programs and conservation projects worldwide. Additionally, educational activities and interactive exhibits are available to inform visitors about wildlife conservation and environmental awareness. Apart from the animals and gardens, Pairi Daiza offers additional attractions such as bird shows, sea lion presentations, and various themed experiences. Visitors can also enjoy dining options, souvenir shops, and accommodations within the park.

Great zoo! My first time visiting a zoo of this size, it took us a whole day to see each animal, amazing place, well kept and clean. All the animals looked happy and healthy. Would love to come back again soon!

Definitely one of the most beautiful zoos you can visit.The entrance feels like Disneyland & throughout the whole park there are amazing buildings and landscapes. Animal enclosures are integrated in their surroundings.The park has restaurants and there are places to sit everywhere.Besides having pandas! the park has a very nice selection of animals. White tigers, beautiful birds, elephants, rhinos, etc.The park app has a map which makes it very easy to locate everything you need. Sadly it only seems to be in French but it could be I missed a setting somewhere.This is not a cheap outing: entrance, food, merchandise, etc all cost a fair amount of money. Bringing some drinks and sandwiches is not a bad idea.However you can easily spend the whole day here if you want to see & do everything.In my opinion, it's well worth the money considering how lovely this zoo is.

Great zoo, with a lot of animals and plants. We chose to stay there for one night, so we had the opportunity to see the park for two days. The dinner and the breakfast was with a lot of choices and we enjoyed them a lot.

We’ve been to a good few zoos and Safari Parks over the years, and this has to be one of the best.There’s a good range of animals to see in excellent enclosures, but the huge attention to detail throughout the park really makes it a great experience.It’s very pricy, but we reckon it’s worth it.

The best Zoo in Europe, wonderful experience, although we went with our 2 kids(4 years and 6 years) we enjoyed it as much as they did.We stayed for 2 nights at the tiger's house , so I highly recommend to book and stay overnight at Pairi Daiza Resort, it is one in a lifetime experience.Some tips: book in weekday, it is not so crowded.Also after the zoo close for the visitors you can walk around and get the Vip view of the animals inside.

It is really the best zoo in Europe for sure. We stayed in Tiger house hotel, where you can see tigers from above. And we loved it.. Park is really big, but if you stay the night, then there is great service also with taking bags in reception.. and then the bags will be delivered to your room.. And the same when you check out.. just leave the bags in room, and you will get them in reception when checking out..

Absolutely amazing zoo haven't seen a better one anywhere. Really beautiful environments and it really seemed like the Disney land of zoos especially staying in one of their resorts.

One of the best zoo I've ever been to in the world. It's worth every penny. They have pandas! And the attention to detail will blow your mind. It is the most unique zoo and it's huge.

Big zoo with amazing architecture. Lots and lots of animals scattered around the zoo. We liked the train ride inside the zoo, it was the best part and should not be missed.It’s too big to be covered in one day, lots of option to eat and there is also play area for kids.

Actually, known as the one of the best zoos in Europe I had many expectations. And I was quite disappointed. It’s more like fun park than something showing real wildlife. It’s really cool for people looking for fun and something big, but I was just hoping for more natural vibes. And Christmas music playing around the whole area, even after Christmas was enough for me. The one thing that really gets me the wow was walrus, because I’ve never seen it. Next time, I’d prefer Zoo Leipzig, this is not worth so much money for me.

Nice zoo in Belgium, lots of animals.Unfortunately smoking is allowed in the park, which isn't family friendly at all as there are plenty of young children enjoying their time there. Knowing that cigarettes and viper are detrimental to the development of children, the zoo should consider ban smoking in the zoo.

That's a wonderful place. We came for the whole day and didn't manage to see everything. So we plan to return next year already for two days staying at the local hotel.The park is divided into zones according to the parts of world. For example, there are Asia, Australia and many others. Accordingly to this, you will find the animals.There are a lot of shops and restaurants. I especially recommend to visit a tea house, where you can try and buy tea. Also pay attention to the brewery which is very cosy.Also I recommend to download the app from the official website. It really helps with locations and info about animals.

This is the most beautiful zoo I have ever visited.It is an annual trip that I look forward to every time. Be aware that drinks and food are not cheap in the park. You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks. The park itself is so big that you cannot do everything in one day.

Love this place.Yearly passes have also made life easier as we don’t try to do as much as possible in a day but take the time to relax and enjoy with the kids! Activities around St Nick were also fun and Christmas lights are a big hit too.

The visit was amazing!From the beautiful grand entry of the place around the whole lovely park till our sleeping accommodations at the Paddling Bear - every step was greeted by a new sight and around every corner a new delight. I thoroughly enjoyed all three days in the park, including both breakfast and dinner at the restaurant Octopus.Unfortunately, not all the shops were open, so we had to walk all the way back to the entry to get a cup of coffee. Nevertheless, the plants and animals all around were fantastic and I would love to return during another season.

Very very beautiful, they have different areas with cultural specific entourage, buildings, you feel like in another country everytime you change zones. They did an amazing job! Quite an unique zoo experience!

A huge park with various animal around the world. Went there when it was saraswati day and there are celebrations in the Ganesha area where the are lots of temples. Lots of place to sit and very clean toilets. Kids would love this place.

Nice and beautiful zoo and park. Many places for picnic, food corners, for chilling. And pandas 😍Parking costs 10 euro per day and a lot of space for parking. Tip: animals more active after 15:00. Before, most of them were sleeping. Most of all we liked Chinese area, very beautiful 👍Have a great time, guys 😉

A very well-maintained park with beautiful animal enclosures. It can be a bit crowded with visitors, but during our visit, it wasn't too bad. A few enclosures were empty, but there's not much you can do about that. Otherwise, there's nothing to complain about!

It's a beautiful zoo. You can almost not call it a zoo because its so much more then that, its a beautiful park. The animals have big enclosure. Overal amazing and a must visit!

🐼This is definitely the best zoo in Europe. There were so many animals and the zoo was just overall amazing. My favorite animal being panda🐼 this was a dream. I bought almost everything in the panda store🐼 and im glad i did. I recommend this zoo to everyone who loves panda as much as i do.🐼

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

Incredibly beautiful architecture...didn't know every French king had been crowned here. Younger yet bigger than Notre Dame in Paris. Definitely a must see.

Fantastic historical site. I am notbsure how it compares to the one in Paris since no one can get in there now, but there is a lot less people and the building is very well kept. All the details in the construction are simply amazing. No ticket needed.

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

Stunning Cathedral in the heart of Reims. The architecture both inside and out is amazing, we were pleasantly surprised that it was free entry into the Cathedral and once inside you are free to explore the majority of it. There is plenty of information boards detailing its history and they are all in multiple languages. Highly recommended

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

A nice church to visit while on the way to champagne country.Our tour from Paris made a brief stop here, and it made for a bit of awe and introspection.The building itself is adorned with hundreds of statues and statues holding statues. Inside, stained glass windows give everything an intentional tinge of pink and purple hues.Near the back, there are relics of saints and several extravagant chapels.

Replete with history, this cathedral has seen coronation of 34 French kings over a millenium. Beautifully designed. Weathered by age and conflict, the place retains its grace and charm.

The Cathedral of Reims is an architectural masterpiece! 🏰 Its stunning Gothic design and intricate details make it a must-visit in Reims. The cathedral's rich history and significance as the coronation site of French kings add to its allure. Don't forget to admire the beautiful stained glass windows and take in the grandeur of the interior. A true gem in the heart of Reims! 🌟

Stunning! It felt busy when we visited, but the cathedral is huge, so it was still very easy to explore. Be sure to visit all of the stained glass windows - there are many different styles and images, all truly works of art. You could visit the cathedral for the views of the flying buttresses alone (like me), but there is so much to see, and so much interesting history to learn about.

A true work of art, its size and architectural details simply take your breath away. One of the most beautiful and well-maintained cathedrals in France. Both the interior with the glass painting and the exterior with the architectural details are worth it, you will give them a good part of the time to be admired. Moreover, the cathedral can be visited with a guide in French, German, English.

Amazing place, this is maybe one of the mot beautiful cathedrals in france. Don’t miss to take time to go deep in the magic Colors of the stained glasses to feel this very special light.

Of course I've not seen every cathedral in the world but for me one of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen. Very impressive! No fee to enter, but you can think about giving what it's worth for you or pay for a candle in memory of a loved one.

Impressive to see. Especially the outside is beautiful with all the details. Inside is nice to see with the glass-in-led windows. When you are in Reims this is 1 of the most impressive sights to visit.

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

Magnificent cathedral, free entrance for public, you can park close by, some restaurants just outside the cathedral.

Amazing, if you are anywhere near Reims this is a site you shouldn't miss. It's easy to access, in a wonderfully peaceful area, and is as or more stunning than many cathedrals in the country. I could have spent days hearing about the historical coronations and critical events in the history of France that occurred at this site.

Fantastic cathedral, so beautiful and so detailed art. The only weird thing is that they have a souvenir shop in there, it kind of removed the feeling a little bit, but other than that.. It's incredible.

Beautiful cathedral. A must see if you’re on the way to a vineyard tour or visiting the countryside.

Stunning Cathedral in the heart of Reims. Very serene atmosphere and a must-visit in the city, especially for the intricate stained glass and the detailed masonry. Entry is free and many guided tours are available and go through here. There is also a small gift shop inside which sells souvenirs as well as a souvenir coin machine.

Decided to head away from Paris for a day and drive out to REIMS. So glad we did as this place is an absolute gem. The cathedral from the outside is beyond words, absolutely stunning. We were lucky enough to visit when there was a service taking place and the sound of the choir within the high roof of the cathedral was joyous. Out of all the buildings we visited whilst in France this is the one.

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

Eine sehr schöne Kirche, die auch kostenlos begehbar ist. Leider schon etwas „in die Jahre gekommen“ und an einzigen Stellen sehr schwarz und Bedarf der Restauration.Aktuell, Stand Mai 24, Restaurationsarbeiten und Gerüste an der bekannten Vorderseite, was das Fotografieren natürlich sehr beeinträchtigt.(Translated by Google)A very beautiful church that is also free to enter. Unfortunately it is a bit “outdated” and in only a few places it is very black and in need of restoration.Currently, as of May 24, there is restoration work and scaffolding on the well-known front, which of course greatly affects photography.

This cathedral is absolutely beautiful, the staff were all very kind. I would definetly recommend visiting the cathedral if you are in Reims or surrounding areas. The cathedral is in stunning condition for being over 400 years old. Overall an amazing experience.

Extremely nice building especially when you see its illuminated exterior in the evening, full of statues, big arches, colored windows, the French king was crowned here during the tumultuous years of Joan of Orleans, I think it is always good to go there, sit for a while and think... do not forget to see the Statue de Jeanne d'Arc in front door...

It's is an amazing place, highly recommend everyone to visit. Very beautiful stained glasses. Tour on the roof also very interesting and inspiring!

Favorite monument within the Champagne-Ardenne departement.My fiancé proposed to me in front of this magical place, making it a dreamy, memorable location ✨️Must see the light show at night during holiday seasons ❤️

Lovely place, free entry. I actually visited the one in Strasbourg, and Belgium the day before and after here and I’d say this was one of the nicest ones. Just unfortunate that they had the scaffolding up outside.

Amazing cathedral built in the Gothic style. Great history behind this cathedral. When visiting this Cathedral take a few minutes to sit on the benches across from the Cathedral to take in the magnificent architecture and the majestic views.Entrance is free. I spent around 45 minutes inside - walking around admiring the architecture and also taking time to sit quietly and pray.This is a must visit if you are in Paris. There are frequent trains.

This Cathedral has so much character and detail even from the outside, very impressive. The scale of it is quite large for a Cathedral in a smaller town. Definitely worth the stop if you are driving by the area.

Die mächtige Kathedrale ist schon von weitem zu sehen, wenn man auf die Stadt Reims zu fährt. Ihre bewegte Geschichte steht sinnbildlich für die Region, in der sie steht. Ein Besuch ist sie alle mal Wert. Von der eindrucksvollen Fassade oberhalb der drei Tore über die kunstvoll gearbeiteten bemalten Fenster, man könnte die Kathedrale stundenlang anschauen.Pro Tipp: Fernglas mitbringen und so auch die weiter entfernten Skulpturen und Darstellungen im Detail betrachten können(Translated by Google)The mighty cathedral can be seen from afar as you drive towards the city of Reims. Its eventful history is emblematic of the region in which it stands. They are all worth a visit. From the impressive facade above the three gates to the intricately crafted painted windows, you could look at the cathedral for hours.Pro tip: Bring binoculars so you can look at the more distant sculptures and representations in detail

Don't get so focused on Notre Dame in Paris, that you forget the other 36! This one in Reims is stunningly beautiful. Free admission, we walked right in with no waiting on an early Saturday afternoon and loved this church!

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!

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

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

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

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).

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.

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

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.

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!

There is a very large free car park near the zoo, well organized. The zoo itself has a wonderful selection of animals to admire. We feel that a lot of emphasis is placed on the animals living in as realistic an environment as possible. The animals and the enclosures appear well cared for. The large number of species delights young and old. There is also a petting zoo and a playground for the kids. Tip: Take a picnic with you. The food could really improved and it's from our point of view overpriced.

A 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.

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.

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.

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.

I had the pleasure of visiting Place Stanislas in mid-April, and it was indeed a delightful experience. This historic square, with its stunning architecture and intricate design, is a must-visit when in Nancy. 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.

La Place Stanislas à Nancy est un chef-d'œuvre architectural qui capture l'essence de la beauté et de l'histoire.

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.

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

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.

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 petit* 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.

The place during the fetes de musique was buzzing. Great friendly atmosphere and was fun to see so many people partying

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.

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

Beautiful piece of history. We did this with our three kids ages 5,3,1 years and they loved it even after having gone to the Roman bath ruins. The older two were able to walk the whole thing and I wore the baby. Lots of places for photos, not too crowded on the May weekend we went. There are many dining options right outside the building with lots of vendors and shopping. Highly recommend!

Such a beautiful area with lots of shops and places to eat. A stunning cathedral is just off the main courtyard. Worth the visit and recommend others to see the sights here.

The UNESCO Black Gate is a large Roman city gate. It looks so out of place as it is, but it really is amazing.Given Trier is Germany's oldest city, such a grand gate is quite appropriate.Lots of cafes and restaurants to sit at and enjoy the view.

A cool piece of history, a gate that dates back to 170, was transformed into a church and back into a gate by Napoleon. I wouldn’t say that the ticket was worth it if you don’t buy a tour, since their could be more info and there are prettier choices in Trier. But definitely walk buy and read up on some of the history!

Beautiful historical structure in the middle of the cityEntry fee is €4 per adult and pets are not allowed. You can ask for an audio guide or an information brochure at the receptionTake lots of pictures

An ancient city gate built in the Roman empire. It’s quite different from the other historical buildings I’ve been in Germany. Even though it’s unique, to be honest, there isn’t much to see inside. The information is a bit hard to access but the ticket is cheap so it’s definitely worth checking out if you are in Trier.

Impressive building with an interesting history. From decay to a pilgrim place to a double stacked church. This was then ordered to be demolished by Napoleon? And somehow a Roman gate survived. The free audio guide on your phone explains it all very well. The inside is interesting, inexpensive and gives a good view over Trier.

Beautiful! A must visit in Trier in my opinion.There was a violinist playing under the gate area too, which you could hear through the whole building. That really added to the experience and made it feel even more special.

Stunning remains of the northern city gate built by the Romans almost two millennia ago. Distinctive for its dark grey sandstone. For a small fee tourists access the upper levels but the ground level and surroundings remain free to wander.

Just walked around and through. Not sure what the inside is like, but worth just walking around. Fascinating spot right in the city centre. Perfect spot for a picture or to touch some really old rocks. Well kept area when we were there.

A Must-See! This is the Roman Gate to the oldest city in Germany...Trier! It has a lot of history, great food and shopping and the Cathedral that houses the Robe of Jesus Christ. It's the 1st city where Constantine allowed Christianity so I've been told and also read. It's truly one of the landmarks in Europe that you can see and touch that dates back to ancient Rome and you can even go up inside and walk around!

The Porto nigro is huge!! Much bigger than I expected. The platz is an interesting place. Very busy during the day with tourists. I felt a little unsafe wandering around at night but other than that had a great experience.

Beautiful UNESCO heritage building , of historic importance. I visited only from outside but still got a good view.. there is also a museum and souvenir shop. The city tours is available at this spot

A large city gate from Roman era approximately 2000 years old. A majestic piece of Roman architecture, although a little stands of what remains now. We did not go inside but it was worth admiring the building while standing there. It is a good entry point to the city of Trier, just 10-12 minutes by walk from the train station. From here you can start your tour. Everything is in the walking distance.

This is one of the doors of the city. We decided to stop by in Trier, while returning from our trip in Luxembourg and Strasburgh. We were not disappointed. Not only the Porta is really nice to see, but the city is as well. A lot of people were here on Sunday and a lot friendly and smiley. We also found a public concert nearby.

An amazing experience to walk under a gate that's been build centuries ago. No mortar used and still standing. The inside is amazing too

Porta Nigra is super fun to visit and explore! Massive from the outside but equally awing while walking around within!!! Views from the city were great. The history of the old Roman entrance to the city is fascinating.

Went very late at night. 10pm. Empty. Free to roam around.beautifully lit. Very eerie. Fabulous building. Obviously if you wanted to go to the museum you would need to go during the day. Warm night. Few youths around but no problem.

It was amusing trip to German from Luxembourg. I had been went their only to see Porta Nigra. I had curious to see inside, ticket price 4 euro, as international student O had to pay 3 euro. I thought I may see many historical handy cruft inside, but it was almost empty! Only with structural building. I will not recommend too much to people to visit this place but to have a relaxation take lunch yes you may go to this area.

This was cool to check out and learn the history of the area. We were able to walk throughout the structure and see the architecture first hand! Worth the drive from Kaiserslautern. The graffiti was obnoxious but some people lack an appreciation for history.

What can I say. It's a beautiful structure worth seeing. The best way to quickly see all the sites in Trier is to go on hop on hop off bus. Free to view.

We took a tourist train tour here and it was a good way to have an overall view of the city, to then explore by foot by ourselves. It was 10 euros per person, 45 minutes-long. The Porta Nigra itself is impressive, and you can’t miss it when in Trier.

During our city trip we visited Porta Nigra.After taking a few pictures on the outside we were curious enough to buy the ticket to have a look inside.Since the family ticket (2 adults, 2 kids) was only €8 this was fine.Was it worth the €8 … not really.On the other hand it was only €8 and we were able to take some nice photos.

A must if visiting Trier. Visited in mid-April. Allow about 90 minutes to do it justice. Four flights of (spiral) stairs, so if you are unsure on your feet think twice. Information boards have several languages on them, and the multilingual guide (avail via their intranet and your phone) really brings it to life and explains how it originally looked, and how it has survived over the years.We parked out of town and walked in. I imagine this gets very busy during the summer.Lots of ticket options available. Also, this is right next to the Tourist Information (very helpful staff).

Very beautiful roman architecture. Entrance fee is 4 € and one can climb in the gate itself. I visited on a Wednesday, there was no line, I was almost alone there, which was very nice. I took a lot of pictures and videos

Very nice old place. Entry is 4€ and you can buy the ticket at the entrance, also, climb to the top to take some lovely scenic shots of the Trier city centre. Roman Built and still standing after all these years, it's a proof of quality and resiliance of Roman architecture. Very well maintained and full od historical panels that display the rich history of the place. 10/10 visit.

An extraordinary Roman city gate that is regarded to be the most intact city gate from classical times in the world (due to its incorporation into a church during the Middle Ages preventing its gradual demolition as building material was reused, which was followed by demolition of the church during Napoleon times to restore the city gate in its Roman appearance). Admission 4€, the roof level was closed for renovation, 3 other levels were accessible. One of the best Roman structures I have ever seen, especially in northwestern Europe.

€4 entry fee. Spiral staircase to the very top. Great views over the city. Not wheelchair friendly.

A beautiful place, I recommend walking around the city and visiting other historical objects.

incredible , well kept since Roman empire (since 800) very well. It is really an historical art , you should not miss. Also lots of other places to see like the theater, Trier is a beautiful city.

An old historical roman building, a must see when you're visiting Trier. Adults pay 4 euros to enter it. There's not much to see from the inside, but you do get a nice view over Trier from the highest floor. I went on a Monday and it was not crowded at all.

One of the important landmarks for Trier. You may purchase tickets and go inside, find more about it's reach history and also enjoy a lovely view of the city.
