1. Mercedes-Benz Museum
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 8,161 reviews
The Museum celebrates the automobile invented by Carl Benz in 1886: it relates its history and tells its stories, bringing both alive by placing them in the context of technology, day-to-day life, social history and popular culture. More than 160 vehicles of all types are the main protagonists. They range from some of the oldest automobiles ever built to legendary racing cars and futuristic research vehicles. Together with other exhibits, they form the centrepiece of the permanent exhibition covering a total of 16,500 square metres in twelve rooms. This unparalleled world can be discovered on two tours that follow a 'Legend' and 'Collection' narrative.

A mazing museum of automotive history, brilliantly laid out in a logical fashion with very good information relating to world history as you start from the top at the beginning and work your way down to the present at the bottom. Lots to see and some great photo opportunities. Take plenty of time. 2hours at least. The shop at the end of museum is good but a bit pricey. And we were lucky, in front of museum was a classic car meeting that day. Many american muscle cars to see.

A must do in Heidelberg.Take the funicular railway to the castle and enjoy fantastic views over the city.A guided tour of the castle allows a much better insight the the history and the lives of nobility who lived there. If you have lunch at the castle cafe-the apple strudel and the rhubarb water are highly recommended.

This town square, built next to and named after Freiburg's famous cathedral, is still a major center of the city's social activity.
Reviewed By Tanina
There is a nice market near the Cathedral. And Rote lange is absolutely tasty! And next week-end we had fish sandwiches. As well as bought some samples of German sausages and French cheeses. Besides we bought some of the farmer produce of an excellent quality for daily use which was very helpful as we were staying in an apartment nearby for 9 days with self service! Recommend very much!

This beautiful park is home to the town's famous casino.

We had the good fortune to book an Airbnb for the entire month of September right by Lichtentaler Allee. We LOVED walking into the city along this beautiful path/ parkway. Along the way there was a gazebos, dahlia garden, incredible, stately rose garden, statues, a fountain, magnificent mansions, museums, old trees, a large meadow, a small canal/river full of ducks, clay tennis courts with an adjoining Italian cafe that we really liked. It was quiet and safe. We walked into town probably a dozen times. Sometimes in the early morning, sometimes late at night. There were always others around on foot or on bikes, even occasionally in carriages. We ALWAYS felt safe and serene. We could have driven and parked in Baden-Baden but we always chose to walk, even if we were tired from a day’s exploring. It was that enjoyable. It was THE PERFECT LOCATION for an extended stay and visit to Schwarzwald and Alsace. I would do it again in a minute!

Konstanz, Meersburg, Überlingen, Lindau, are the places to be. All are old towns filled with cafes, restaurants and all kinds of souvenir shops. The best beach has to be in Überlingen. Parking is so expensive though.

The market surrounds the the cathedral in the center of the old section of town. The market gives the square a vitality with vendors selling local, seasonal produce, flowers, food, and other products. Concerts on the cathedral's organ occur every Saturday morning and feature both traditional and contemporary works. You can take tours of the cathedral by the docents and even visit the workshop where new stonework is carved using traditional tools.

The interior of the minster was much more impressive than I had expected. The modern stained glass windows are unique. And of course going up the highest steeple in the world is an extraordinary experience.

You can even bath in the lake water or feed the ducks... I go every now and then and take always visitors and all love the place!
