I have some hours to spare before my flight in Frankfurt Thus, I decided to stay in Karlsruhe to visit the zoo. It was much bigger and better than what I had in mind. There was a huge varieties of animals. I got to see the cute otter, sea lions, penguins, alpacas etc. I got to see birds and marine life too. What's most interesting is that there is an area of bat's. It got me nervous and excited. In this Zoo, there is also a big garden for you to stroll and admire the flowers.

#2023travelwish I needed to come to Karlsruhe for a business trip and naturally, I needed a place to stay. After some searching, I decided to stay at Hotel Rio. When I reached the outside of the hotel, I felt so pleased. The building of the hotel was red in colour. Red is my favourite colour. I then proceed to check in. It was December and thus, the reception was filled with Christmas decorations. It really warmed my heart. After settling in, I proceed to go to my room. The room was nice and comfortable. I felt good staying here. The location of the hotel was not bad too as it was near some nice restaurants. Address: Hans-Sachs-Straße 2, 76133 Karlsruhe

#fallingforfall I was assigned on a business trip to Karlsruhe Germany. I am thankful that my company sent me there. It gave me a chance to expand my horizons and also a chance to visit the city on Karlsruhe. Karlsruhe is a city in southwestern Germany and it is the third-largest city of the German state of Baden-Württemberg after its capital of Stuttgart, and Mannheim, and the 21st-largest city in the nation. On the first day of my business trip, we discovered some absolutely beautiful trees with red leaves. There was also a building which is covered with many red leaves. I was very pleased to capture close up photos of the red leaves.

#karlsruhe is not very big town in #germany and not very far from France. There is very interesting palace there - called Karlsruhe Palace. It is on a short hop from the main Street of the town where I saw many restaurants with cuisine from all around the world which I really liked. There is an airport nearby close to Baden Baden. #happynewyear

🗓️Itinerary: Taking advantage of the good weather at the end of May, I arranged a three-day and two-night trip to Karlsruhe. 🌝☀️🌤️🌥️. The weather is comfortable, about 20 to 25 degrees, suitable for walking and taking pictures without being too hot. We didn't drive during the entire trip, and were able to move easily by tram and on foot in the city. Here are a few things I like: 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: 🏰 Karlsruhe Palace (Schloss Karlsruhe) 🕰️Opening hours and 📍Address: https://maps.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x4797064f2b39cc9f:0x6a36d070ba4c7bad?entry=s&sa=X&ved=1t:8290&hl=de-de&ictx=111 This was definitely the highlight of the trip! It is just a few minutes walk from the city center. The palace itself is spectacular and exquisite, and the garden behind it extends to the size of a forest, perfect for picnics, daydreaming or watching the sunset. You can also climb to the top of the palace tower (💰average cost: ticket price around €5), from which you can overlook the radial city planning, which is spectacular! ✅ Reason for recommendation: Free large garden, magnificent architecture and good for taking photos. The highest point in the city with a broad view. ⸻ 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: 🍝 Dining in the city center Although Karlsruhe is not large, it has a surprisingly diverse range of food options. We had a traditional German meal at "Lehners Wirtshaus Karlsruhe and Vogelbräu" in the city center, and ordered a sausage platter with their own beer, which cost about €28 in total.

ZARA, DM and Müller are all concentrated in this area. There are many coffee shops along the street. I recommend Café Brenner for its cakes and iced coffee (around €6). It is a great place to sit down and take a break. 💰Average consumption per person: 6€-49€ ✅ Reasons for recommendation: It is within walking distance of the city center, the atmosphere is relaxed, and there are many cafes to choose from. ⸻ 🌸🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻🙆♂️🌺 Extra recommendation! 💞Recommended!

The exhibition hall is not big, but it is elegantly decorated and it is not too tiring to visit. Perfect for those who like art or want a quiet space. • 💰Average Consumption —🎟️ Tickets: about €9 (student tickets are available for €6) • ⏰ Recommended stay time: about 1.5 hours • ✅ Reasons for recommendation: The atmosphere is quiet and the collection is of high quality, which is very suitable for slowly appreciating paintings. ⸻ 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: 🌳 Turmberg Observation Deck – Take the Turmbergbahn Although it is not in the city center, it takes about 20 minutes by tram from Karlsruhe to the Durlach district, and then take one of the oldest cable cars in Germany to go up the mountain. There is an observation deck on the top of the mountain that overlooks the entire city and the plains. It is a popular place for locals to relax on weekends. 💰Per capita consumption: • 🎟️ Cable car ticket price: around €2.50 one way • ⏰ Recommended stay time: about 1.5 to 2 hours (can be combined with a walk or a light meal) 💞Recommended reasons: • ✅ Reasons for recommendation: wide view, convenient transportation, and special cable car experience.

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Wilma Wunder is a restaurant with branches in many cities in Germany. The branch we went to was in Karlsruhe, located at Marktplatz in the city center. The atmosphere in the restaurant is a modern style of eating and drinking, unlike traditional German restaurants. The restaurant is spacious, decorated with various pictures and bright lighting. The menu offers easy-to-eat food such as salads, German-style pizza (called Tarte Flambee), various toppings, and main courses of meat. As for drinks, there are beers, cocktails, mocktails, and even the restaurant's own special blended fruit juices. It's just as serious as the food. For this meal, I ordered the following: ➡️ Classic Tarte Flambee A German pizza with a thin crust baked until crispy. Topped with sour cream, spicy bacon, shallots, and spring onions. Very enjoyable to eat. ➡️ Schnitzel This is German-style fried breaded pork. Here, it's fried well, not oily, and the pork is tender. Eat it with lemon and cut the sweetness with the jam served with it. Perfect with salad and mashed potatoes. ➡️ Pear-Mint Lemonade This is a blended juice recipe from the shop. It's sour, sweet, and refreshing. It's made from real fresh fruit juice. It's just as delicious as the cafe drinks. We really like this one. 📌 Address: Karl-Friedrich-Straße 9, 76133 Karlsruhe, Germany #TravelEurope #TravelGermany

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck I visited Karlsruhe on a very cold and rainy day, so I planned to make it a full shopping day. Ettlinger Tor is a large department store located in the heart of the old town, right in the middle of the train station and the market square. It also has parking. It is convenient to travel by train, tram or rent a car. There are more than 130 stores in this department store, including international and local clothing brands, accessories, cosmetics, and restaurants. There is really everything to choose from. There is also a huge Müller store here. You can shop until you forget the time. Inside the mall, the heater is very warm and comfortable.

You can really find everything in one place. ⏰ Opening and closing hours: The mall is open Monday - Saturday from 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM (closed on Sundays). #TravelGermany #TravelEurope
