Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon, Dresden
Of the many museums in Dresden, one was recommended to us more than once: the Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon in the Zwinger complex of the old town.
Hostel Lollis Homestay, Dresden
Lollis has everything you’d expect from a hostel — clean rooms, a comfortable place to sleep, and a friendly atmosphere. And for €44 for a double room, you’re certainly getting value for money.
Dresden-City-Card
On the whole, I’d recommend the two-day Dresden-City-Card if you want to visit most of the museums it gives access to, and you’re planning on using public transport more than once during your stay.
Köln Welcome Card
A Köln Welcome Card might be good value in some circumstances, but it doesn’t offer as much value as other, similar, cards.
Kolumba, Cologne
When in Cologne, a visit to the cathedral is a must, but a stop at the Kolumba religious art museum is also highly recommended.
Create your own cologne course at 4711
We had a great time at the perfume seminar; it was the perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon in Cologne.
Breakfast at Baco by the Plaza España, Seville, Spain
Right next to the Plaza Espana, we came across a small cafe/bar with outdoor seating, dark wooden tables, and freshly squeezed orange juice: Baco.
Time Traps at Kunsthalle Nuremberg
The Kunsthalle isn’t large: several rooms tunnel off from the entrance: it could house one-room exhibitions from several artists, but when we visited it was local artist Heike Baranowsky that had the run of the place.
Nazi Documentation Centre, Nuremberg
A visit to the Nazi Documentation Centre is almost compulsory. The moving exhibit is housed in the Nazi Congress Hall on the Party Rally Grounds.
Overwhelmed at the German National Museum, Nuremberg
Be overwhelmed at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum (German national history museum). Rich collections, original masterworks by Dürer or Rembrandt and more.
