    The store issues tickets very quickly, which is very convenient, and the price is quite reasonable. The museum has a lot of content, divided into many small exhibitions. The popular science about the human body and atoms is not seen much in China. The ones presented here are more like children's paintings.

    I had an absolutely wonderful time at the Lindt Chocolate Factory in Köln. From the moment I stepped inside, the aroma of rich, creamy chocolate filled the air — pure heaven for any chocolate lover. The museum was fascinating and well-organized, showcasing the history of chocolate and Lindt’s craftsmanship in such an engaging way.The highlight was definitely watching the chocolatiers at work and tasting the freshly made Lindt chocolate — so smooth and delicious! The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. The shop at the end was a dream come true, with so many unique treats and exclusive flavors to choose from.I left with a big smile (and a bag full of chocolate!). Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Cologne — it’s both fun and delicious! 🍫✨

    Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam was commissioned by King Frederick II of Prussia in 1744. It reflects the king's love of art and crafts, including wine, tea, music, painting, sculpture, and architecture, and his fondness for a free and leisurely lifestyle—a truly elegant monarch! The complex blends Baroque and Rococo styles, with terraced vineyards and a Chinese tea room at its core. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990.

    Well worth the visit. If you like history this is the place for you. From Egyptian history to Roman history it’s a great way to learn for kids. Nice to visit on a rainy and cold day in Berlin. Some very famous pieces can be found in this museum, and it’s great to see them from a close perspective.

    Linderhof Palace is a fairytale brought to life—elegant, intimate, and surrounded by breathtaking gardens and forest. King Ludwig II’s dream is everywhere in the details. Smaller than Neuschwanstein, but more personal and enchanting. A hidden gem in Bavaria!

    I brought my little ones to Legoland, and they had a lot of fun. This place is very suitable for children around 10 years old. In the world of Lego, their intelligence is further developed.

    The oil painting collection of the Hamburger Kunsthalle is worth visiting. The lifelike figures, unique style of depicting natural landscapes, and religious story-themed oil paintings are fascinating. I highly recommend friends who like art to visit.

    This museum provides an excellent explanation about how the warehousing district evolved as a result of the unification of Germany under Bismarck, after which Hamburg was no longer a Free City therefore warehousing had to be concentrated within the Free Port. There are English explanations of each exhibit, which are shorter than those in German, however they are sufficient to understand what the museum is about. More detailed explanations in English are available on demand.
