    The castle, modeled after the Disney castle, embodies a romantic love story. You must arrive at the time indicated on your ticket and queue to enter; any time you exceed the time limit will void your ticket. We were so busy taking photos downstairs that we missed our scheduled entry. Luckily, we were the last group still available that day, so we scanned the QR code at the entrance to purchase our tickets. Photography is prohibited inside, and there are guides in various languages. The castle in winter is especially like something out of a fairytale. From inside, the snow and fog outside create the illusion of a sea of ​​clouds. I hope to see the castle in different seasons.

    It has a futuristic feel & we love it. Bulky bags & jackets/winterwear has to be placed in the locker provided before you enter the exhibit area. Total 22 zones. Lots of sitting down place in case you tired or just wanna watch the cars while resting.

    Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom, full name Hohe Domkirche St. Peter und Maria) is a Catholic cathedral located in Cologne, Germany, and is the city's iconic landmark. Among all churches, it is the second tallest in Germany (after Ulm Minster in Ulm) and the third tallest in the world. In terms of size, it is the largest church in Northern Europe, combining grandeur and delicacy. It is hailed as the most perfect example of Gothic cathedral architecture. Construction began in 1248, but was intermittent, finally being declared complete by Kaiser Wilhelm I in 1880, taking over 600 years. Even today, restoration work continues.

    Museum Island in Berlin is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a cultural treasure trove. Located in the heart of the city, it’s home to five world-class museums, including the Pergamon Museum and the Altes Museum. The island offers a mix of art, archaeology, and history, making it a must-visit for culture lovers. The architecture is stunning, and it’s a perfect spot to explore Berlin's rich history. Expect crowds, especially during peak tourist seasons, but the exhibits are well worth it.

    Price was reasonable, but really it had too many rooms to visit, lost patience at a point. Overall I find interesting when anything relates to Empress Sisi. Worth a visit if you’re interested in Bavarian history.

    If you’ve already made it to Berlin, I highly recommend climbing the stairs to the top of the Berlin Cathedral for the panoramic view. However, it really depends on your luck—during my visit the dome was under major renovation, and most of the view was blocked.Be prepared: the staircase has many steps, and the walkway at the top is quite narrow. When it gets crowded, you can’t stay up there for long. For the best experience, I suggest visiting after you’ve explored most of Berlin’s major sights—seeing the city you just walked through spread out beneath you makes the view even more rewarding.

    There is a big difference between the live broadcast on TV and the live game. The stadium is very big and the full house at the start of the game is very shocking. The shouts of the goals are very exciting. Munich is a football fan. The stadium is easy to find and can be reached directly by subway. It is very convenient to book with Ctrip. There will be a butler to contact on WeChat. The fan area is in a very good location. The stadium is still a bit cold in February. I must wear more clothes next time I go. Haha, I will choose Ctrip next time. It’s great. It’s a very good experience👍

    As the summer palace of the Bavarian royal family, its architecture and garden design are very ornamental. The palace itself is a magnificent Baroque building with a front facade that is hundreds of meters long and magnificent. Many original decorations and furniture are preserved inside, which is very stunning. Each room is like a time capsule that travels back to the 18th century. The large English garden behind the palace is extremely open, with lakes, bridges, boulevards and scattered hunting pavilions (such as Amalienburg) forming a quiet and elegant picture. It is recommended to reserve enough time for a slow walk and feel the leisurely pace of aristocratic life. It is very convenient to take a tram or subway from the city center, and there are also multilingual information introductions in Chinese, English and other languages at the entrance. The tour route is clear, and there is an optional audio guide, which is suitable for self-guided tours or family tours.
