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! 🍫✨
Fascinating even for chocolate professionals! Loved watching real production & tasting Lindt treats. Well-maintained, not crowded on Thursday. A sweet, educational stop—worth visiting!

My time at Morarodum in The Hague with my mum was unforgettable. The cozy, charming accommodations offered a peaceful retreat, complete with thoughtful touches like fresh flowers and a lovely garden view. Located in a quiet yet convenient area, it was the perfect base for exploring The Hague. We visited the Peace Palace, enjoyed Scheveningen Beach, and admired masterpieces at the Mauritshuis Museum. Sharing stroopwafels and laughter with my mum made every moment special. The staff’s warm hospitality stood out—they provided excellent local tips, enhancing our experience. Morarodum was a serene and welcoming haven, blending relaxation with cultural discovery. It was a trip filled with joy, bonding, and beautiful memories. I’d highly recommend it for a heartfelt getaway.
Had a lovely day with my older aunty, my 11 year old and toddler. The park was very accessable to pushchairs and wheelchair users.

Went here with my family during Christmas trip and it was one of the best decision ever. It was indeed a very memorable trip for us
This is the most magical theme park I've ever been to. not only are the set designs so wonderfully done but the outdoor landscapes is very much designed with nature in mind. they have got adrenaline rushing rides but also relaxed ones that bring you around the park like their train.

Where to start - its okay and mainly for kids, but the price is really too much for just adults to justify paying it. There is a good 5 floors to cover, so the content is there, but it gets a bit tedious to walk without escalators, especially when content is a bit lacking. In Japan this would cost easily half the amount and have more content.
Fantastic activity for family with kids. Highly recommended. Love it

It's a long, spacious park on the main street between the Grand Place and the residential area. If you walk through it, you'll arrive at the Merode metro station.
There's a large lawn, a fountain, and the Triumphal Arch near the exit is also worth seeing. It's perfect for a walk or a picnic.
When I arrived in Brussels, I found that this is a city of art. There are parks everywhere and various statues stand anywhere you can think of. Art requires accumulation and background, and this is a good interpretation.

This is such a lovely idyllic green space to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We walked around it but it’s perfect for cyclists. A must when visiting Amsterdam!
Vondelpark is just the perfect place to take a walk and a wee break from the, at times, quite busy city centre. Very easy to reach it if jumping off any tram station nearby museumplain!

The Art Hill in the heart of the Belgian capital Brussels is a city park complex and historical monuments including the Royal Library of Belgium, the National Archives of Belgium, the Brussels Convention Center, and a public garden. The public garden, with a small garden and several bronze statues of art sculptures, is a great place to rest and walk.
It is indeed a paradise for art. I didn't know what it was called before I came here, but I just felt that it was located at a higher altitude and could overlook the city below. It looked very pleasing to the eye and had a strong artistic atmosphere.

Antwerp Zoo is also worth visiting, with a rich variety of animals. It may not be as large as the large wildlife parks in China, but it is definitely worth a visit. The animals are relatively healthy and some are very active.
Antwerp Zoo is a very elegant local park. There are not many people on weekends. The park is very clean and you can feel the smell of some animals. You don’t need to spend a long time visiting.
[Scenery] The whole scenery is very beautiful
[Fun] It is also very interesting

The botanical garden is also a good place to appreciate the many flowers and plants in the Netherlands. The flower species here are very rich, and there are many exquisite varieties. The number of plants is also quite large. I like the tulip varieties, which are colorful and very beautiful.
The botanical garden is very large. Since it was summer when we came here, the plants in the whole botanical garden were particularly rich and lush everywhere. The air was also very fresh and there were not many tourists.

Had an extra day so we decided to visit the zoo, the price for adults was 8€ but the price for students was 4.50€. The park is quite large and there were lots of animals to see! All the animals were healthy and well looked after. Some of the enclosures did look a little tired though, said it was work being done on some visits so they clearly know this. There was not a single toilet lacking which was great as many European places like to forget about toilets. We also had a very nice curry in their cafe there which was very reasonably priced. Great day, would recommend to others!
One of the largest zoos in Europe, the whole environment is lush and rich in vegetation, and you can see many different kinds of animals from all continents.
