"The best museum in Berlin for me. People working there are so friendly and helpful, entry is free. You absolutely need to get an audioguide to learn about the museum, the history of urban art in Berlin, its focus and forms of expression. The works of art were very interesting, had a lot of messages and meanings. There was another exhibiton called "The Art of Flux" right across the road, also interesting to see. I definitely recommend this museum to anyone visiting or living in Berlin!"— Imogen Zakiya

Enjoy evening cocktails with breathtaking panoramic views of Berlin from this stylish rooftop bar in the City West area.

"Background Monkey Bar sits on the tenth floor of the 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin. Its name comes from the panoramic views it affords over Berlin Zoo’s monkey house Ambience The bar feels cosy and intimate at night. When the sun is up, the floor-to-ceiling windows reveal a sweeping view of the zoo and city skyline, earning some of its reputation as a prime sundowner terrace. Music and chatter fill the air, with DJ sets occasionally bringing a lively buzz without overwhelming the space. Service Service was good without being exceptional. Staff were prompt in taking orders and friendly in manner, but the interaction stayed largely transactional rather than immersive. Food/Drink The drinks here lean into creativity and visual appeal. The menu offers a range of inventive cocktails alongside classic choices and fine wine. Overall It is an excellent, conversation-starting location for drinks with friends, offering a cosy nocturnal vibe or a quirky daytime spectacle."— Peter Gan

Additionally, selected statues and artifacts from the museum are on display. Visiting time about 1h."— Beat A. Schwendimann

And we also drank a warm mojito at the cocktail stand."— Sahar Vaknin

"Really cool spot in Berlin with the full creative rooftop-garden vibe. Authentic and laid-back, with lots of artistic details, great views over the city, and a chill urban setting that’s perfect to hang out with friends. The only downside is the entrance fee, but still — worth it for the experience if you haven’t been there before."— Luka Grgurić

Visit the iconic German Parliament building, explore its historical significance, and ascend the glass dome for panoramic city views. Pre-booking is essential.

"impressive and meaningful area of Berlin that perfectly blends history, architecture, and everyday life. The Reichstag Building itself is magnificent — powerful, elegant, and symbolic. Standing in front of it, you can truly feel the weight of German history and the importance of democracy. The surrounding government district along the Spree River is equally impressive, with modern architecture that feels open, calm, and thoughtfully designed. What I especially enjoyed was how relaxed the atmosphere felt. People sitting by the river, boats passing through, and the contrast between historic landmarks and contemporary buildings make this area perfect for a slow walk and reflection. On a sunny day, the views are simply beautiful. Highly recommended for first-time visitors and returning travelers alike — not just a photo stop, but a place to experience the spirit of Berlin."— Alfred Ng

Reflect on the history of the divided city at the outdoor Berlin Wall Memorial, featuring preserved sections of the wall, watchtowers, and a visitor center.

"Amazing historical site that tells you about story of the past. Very well kept, clean. You can learn about this memorial from the articles posted on site but having tour guide would be good idea to get a bit more understanding. I come on Monday, the museum and observation deck is closed."— Wayan Warta

Step into the vibrant heart of Prague at the Old Town Square. Marvel at the stunning historic architecture, witness the captivating show of the Astronomical Clock, and soak in the lively atmosphere of street performers and market stalls.

"The Prague Astronomical Clock is absolutely breathtaking and one of those places that reminds you why old Europe is special. Standing in Old Town Square, you can feel the history — this clock has been marking time for centuries, and it still works beautifully today. The hourly show is simple but powerful, not flashy, and that’s exactly the charm. It’s traditional, mechanical, and deeply rooted in history — something modern attractions simply can’t replicate. The details on the clock face, the astronomical elements, and the surrounding architecture are incredible, especially if you take a moment to really look. Visit it during the day to appreciate the craftsmanship, and again at night when the atmosphere is magical and less crowded. It’s free to see, timeless in spirit, and truly one of Prague’s greatest treasures. A must-see, no excuses."— Randeep Singh

Take a leisurely walk across the iconic Charles Bridge, adorned with statues of saints. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Prague Castle and the Vltava River, especially beautiful during the late afternoon.

"This attraction is best visited during the day and early evenings at sunset. It is also nice to take a boat tour and view the bridge and the old town from the river. At night, it is very dimly lit, almost without light so it’s hard to appreciate the bridge. The surrounding views of the old town and castle flooded by golden spotlights are an enchanting sight from the bridge though. Early mornings before 0700 is also a magical hour to watch the daybreak and skies waking to a rosy hue. At this hour, the bridge is quiet with few people. This is the best time to have the bridge almost to yourself."— Pyrognats

Begin your exploration of Prague Castle complex with a visit to the magnificent St. Vitus Cathedral, a stunning example of Gothic architecture with impressive stained glass windows and intricate details.

"⛪️ St. Vitus Cathedral If walls could talk, this one would need a podcast series 🎙️📜. I came for the photos, but stayed for the centuries of drama, devotion, and dazzling Gothic detail 🏰✨. We booked the audio guide through GetYourGuide and honestly — 10/10 decision 🎧🗺️. The tiny details made all the difference. Suddenly, every stained-glass window wasn’t just pretty — it had tea to spill ☕🌈. Every arch, chapel, and royal tomb felt like a plot twist in medieval Europe 👑⚔️. Without the guide, you’ll see a beautiful cathedral. With it? You’ll understand it 🧠💡. Magnificent, meaningful, and mildly humbling (because wow, humans built this without modern tools?!) 🛠️😲 If you love history with a side of goosebumps and grandeur — this is your place 🕯️📖💎."— Daryleen Acosta

Continue exploring the sprawling Prague Castle complex, wandering through its courtyards, the Old Royal Palace, Golden Lane with its miniature houses, and St. George's Basilica, immersing yourself in centuries of Czech history.

The highlight for me was St. Vitus Cathedral—the stained glass windows are incredibly exquisite and detailed Also, don't miss the chance to look down from the castle heights. The panoramic view of Prague’s famous red rooftops is absolutely iconic and beautiful. It’s a perfect spot for photos and a must-visit when you are in the city"— Ricky

Discover the tranquil and picturesque Kampa Island, a 'hidden gem' often called the 'Venice of Prague,' with its charming canals, old mills, and lovely views of the Charles Bridge from a quieter perspective.

Ascend the Petřín Lookout Tower for panoramic 360-degree views of Prague, its castle, the Vltava River, and the surrounding areas. The climb itself offers a mild 'adventure' experience.

"Pretty nice view from the top, probably better around sunset and early evening. Using the elevator costs extra, we took the stairs. Using binoculars costs extra. Just come, enjoy the view and keep going. The hillside park around the tower is the real beauty, I would recommend taking a hike through the park on your way up, but if you're not in good physical shape, don't. It's a steep uphill climb on stone stairs."— Daniel Kitchka

Wander through the historic Josefov district, visiting significant synagogues like the Pinkas Synagogue and the Old Jewish Cemetery, immersing yourself in centuries of Jewish culture and history. A combined ticket often allows entry to several sites.

"Tickets were reasonable for the whole circuit, and it's easily accessible and walkable."— Tahmia Welch

Enjoy a leisurely and active paddle boat ride on the Vltava River, offering unique perspectives of Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, and the city skyline from the water. A fun way to experience Prague and get a light adventure in.

"One hour of pedal boat costs 350 CZK and you can't rent for shorter. They also give you the choice between two boats that they feel like giving you. Strong smell of green near the counter. Can't approach the Charles bridge but this isn't their fault. There are pedal boats near the bridge that allow you to do that but they look extremely dirty. With all that said, a fun ride."— Benjamin Fedidat

Explore the historic Vyšehrad fortress, a hidden gem offering stunning panoramic views of Prague, the impressive Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, and a serene cemetery where many famous Czechs are buried. Walk the ancient walls and grounds.

"Gorgeous hidden little gem situated on a small hill. We visited on a very foggy first night here in Prague which only added to the atmosphere. There are surrounding grounds with graves and placards to read. It also provides a few viewing points which give you a great look across the city. We wished we'd gone back in the day to have a look inside."— Shirin Tahmasebi

Experience Prague's sophisticated nightlife at Hemingway Bar, renowned for its inventive cocktails and intimate atmosphere. A perfect spot to unwind and socialize.

Dive into the enigmatic world of Franz Kafka, exploring his life and works through original manuscripts, letters, and unique exhibits.

"I have an impression that the exposition never changed. It's quite small but with a lot of different objects of literature heritage. It's better to take a guide who could really go deep into the life history of Franz Kafka, and the epoch he lived."— Oksana Sukhenko

Marvel at the stunning Neo-Renaissance architecture of the National Theatre, a significant cultural symbol of Czech national identity. Explore its exterior and the surrounding riverside area.

"Checking 2nd Praha house (4 total, 1 under construction which is the best one and went there decade-ish ago. The last ones is the mordern and I'm not interested).

Unwind at the popular Letná Park Beer Garden, a local favorite offering refreshing Czech beers and breathtaking panoramic views of Prague's Old Town, the Vltava River, and its illuminated bridges after dark.

"Great view, but stuck in the Stone Age. Cash only, which is embarrassing for a place like this. Expect to pay extra fees at their ATM if you don't bring paper money. It’s a shame that such a beautiful spot is let down by such an inconvenient policy. Get a card reader"— Evgeny Silakov

Begin your day with a visit to the Dancing House in Prague, admiring its unique deconstructivist architecture along the Vltava River, a striking contrast to the city's historical buildings.

"Only dancing from a specific angle ahahahaa. But all in all it's a creative piece of Architecture. From the other side of the river, it seems like a normal building until you get to the front of the building. The glass side is the dancing one, only noticeable directly from the front. There's also a cafe on the top, which gives you an impeccable view of the city."— mekis

Embark on a scenic train journey from Prague to Krakow, crossing through the picturesque landscapes of Czechia and Poland.

After settling into Krakow, take a relaxed introductory stroll through Rynek Główny, one of Europe's largest medieval town squares, soaking in its vibrant atmosphere and admiring the historic Cloth Hall and St. Mary's Basilica exterior.

"Very nice and interesting Museum. Built under the main square, describes the medieval history of it, and consequently how the whole area was developed, the city organized and administered etc. There are many useful things to learn by the screens next to certain exhibits and also some very good (and lengthy) videos with historical information (some like mini movies). I believe that 3 hours are barely enough to experience everything."— Iordanis Paraskevas

Begin the deeply moving visit at Auschwitz I, the main camp, exploring the barracks, exhibitions, and the Block 11 'Death Block'. This experience is crucial for understanding the Holocaust and its profound impact.

"Was a somber experience being in a place of death and torture, especially for my family members who endured this egregiously harsh and inhumane reality during WWII. We were never told to purchase tickets in advance so the museum was booked solid when we drove 3.5 hours from Warsaw to visit. The new Israeli owners, as crazy as it seems, have made it more difficult to gain entry with a walk in. We are able to observe the outskirts which was just as surreal and contained some valuable informative sights to see."— J. Cee

Continue to Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the extermination camp, to witness the vast scale of the atrocities committed. Walk through the remains of the gas chambers and crematoria, and reflect at the international monuments.

Explore the historic complex of the Wawel Royal Castle, including the State Rooms and Royal Apartments, offering a deep dive into Polish monarchy and history. Discover rich tapestries, period furniture, and Renaissance architecture.

"Very impressive castle. Lots to see. A little pricey, with attractions divided into about 4 or 5 things, each priced at around 45pln per person. I would have preferred to pay 60pln and been able to see them all. Directions to start point was not great. Actual attraction we saw (2nd floor state rooms) was interesting and they audio set up was good."— Ian Bellamy

Explore Wawel Cathedral, the coronation site and burial place of Polish monarchs and national heroes. Admire its rich history and architectural styles, including the Royal Tombs.

"If you felt the place was heavy, quietly intense, or different, that’s not just architecture or lighting. Wawel Cathedral is a burial site, a coronation site, a spiritual takeover zone, and a geological oddity. Long before it was a cathedral, Wawel Hill was a pagan sacred site. Archaeologists found traces of prehistoric ritual activity dating back over 1,000 years before Christianity reached Poland."— κεηηγsκ

Visit the stunning St. Mary's Basilica, a brick Gothic church famous for its intricate wooden altarpiece carved by Veit Stoss and the hourly trumpet call (Hejnal Mariacki).

"St. Mary’s Basilica in Krakow is absolutely breathtaking in person. The architecture is majestic and instantly pulls you in, and the sense of history inside and out is incredible. You can truly feel how important this place is to the city and its culture. I had the pleasure of witnessing the famous trumpet call played on the hour, and it was such a magical, unforgettable moment—something you have to experience at least once when visiting Krakow. The basilica is located right in the heart of the Main Square, surrounded by beautiful views, lively energy, and plenty of space to walk around and take it all in. It’s a wonderful area for families and visitors of all ages. A must-see landmark when in Krakow."— Geebs G

Descend into the legendary cave at the foot of Wawel Hill, said to be the lair of Krakow's mythical dragon.

"The Dragon Statue was great. I didn't know it existed. I was in Krakow for four days. On the first day I was strolling just doing sightseeing and I passed the statue. I wanted to take a picture, but there were so many tour groups around that getting an image without random people in it was a mission. I noticed the black mouth of the dragon, but didn't think anything of it at that stage. So I walked on. The next day I noticed small little dragon statues all over the city and I decided to go on a dragon hunting quest. It was amazing. The things you see in the city while searching for the little dragons are extraordinary. Then I read on the internet that the big dragon statue is fire breathing and that fire comes out of its mouth. So I went back and waited for the fire. It comes out about once every 3 - 4 minutes. But waiting was worth it. That along with the little dragons kept me entertained for the duration of my stay there."— Roelien van der Walt

Wander the fairytale-like turrets of Fisherman's Bastion and enjoy breathtaking panoramic night views of the Danube River and the illuminated Hungarian Parliament Building from the historic Buda Castle District.

Visit Heroes' Square, one of Budapest's major squares, adorned with statues of Hungarian chieftains and kings, magnificently lit at night.

Explore Budapest's largest church, known for its stunning architecture and the Holy Right Hand relic. Climb to the dome for panoramic city views.

"St. Stephen’s Basilica is absolutely breathtaking both during the day and at night, each offering a completely different but equally magical experience. During the day, the magnificent Neo-Classical architecture stands out beautifully against the sky. The grand façade, towering dome, and intricate stone details make it one of the most impressive landmarks in Budapest. The open square in front of the basilica creates a lively atmosphere, with people relaxing at cafés, musicians performing, and visitors admiring the stunning structure. At night, the basilica transforms into something even more spectacular. The entire building is softly illuminated, highlighting its architectural details and giving it a majestic golden glow. The surrounding square becomes calmer and more romantic."— Vidya H

Admire the magnificent Gothic Revival architecture of Hungary's Parliament, one of Europe's oldest legislative buildings, from the outside along the Danube.

"The Hungarian Parliament Building is, without exaggeration, one of the most breathtaking buildings I have ever seen. From the moment it comes into view, it feels unreal — monumental, perfectly proportioned, and almost too beautiful to be true. Standing in front of it, you are immediately struck by its scale and elegance, especially set against the Danube. Photographs simply do not do it justice. Walking inside is an experience in itself. The interiors are lavish yet dignified, with intricate details everywhere you look — from the grand staircases to the richly decorated halls. The use of light, gold accents, and symmetry creates a sense of awe that never fades as the tour progresses. It feels less like a government building and more like a palace carved out of history and national pride. I genuinely found myself stopping repeatedly just to take it all in. In my opinion, this is the most beautiful building in Europe, bar none. It effortlessly surpasses expectations and leaves a lasting impression long after you leave. If you are visiting Budapest, this is not optional — it is essential. One very important tip: buy your tickets in advance. They sell out quickly, especially during peak tourist seasons, and missing the chance to go inside would be a real loss. I would visit again without hesitation."— Filip Starcevic

A poignant memorial to the Jews who were killed by Arrow Cross militiamen in Budapest during WWII, representing their shoes left behind on the riverbank.

"It’s impossible to stand here and not feel the air shift. The “Shoes on the Danube Bank” look so still… but the history behind them hits like a cold wind. Right on this riverbank, people were forced to remove their shoes, their last belongings, before they were shot into the Danube. Men, women, children. Entire lives stolen in an instant, their stories swallowed by the water. Seeing those iron shoes lined up against the river… it gives you chills in a way words barely touch. They’re not just sculptures, they’re echoes. Each pair a life, a name, a world. And as the Danube flows past, calm and quiet, it feels like the river carries their memories forward, refusing to let them disappear. A reminder of what was lost. And of what must never be forgotten.🙏🙏🙏😔😥 #ShoesOnTheDanube #NeverForget #HolocaustMemorial #BudapestHistory @highlight #followforfollowback"— Grace Sherlyn

Explore Budapest's largest and oldest indoor market, a vibrant hub for local produce, Hungarian delicacies, spices, and souvenirs across three floors.
