If you are sick of noise, problems, irrationally behaving people around you and all you want is…read moretime to stop - take this trip to Rosengarten and you'll understand what I'm talking about. Freilichtmuseum am Kiekeberg is a museum village, replicating countryside life of 19th century. All the houses (about 30 of them) built in a traditional way and dedicated to a particular aspect of country life. There are domestic animals and barns, a bee-garden, a forge, carriage and saddle-maker's workshop, a cement factory, bakery you name it. This place looks to me pretty self-sufficient and that's probably exactly the way villages used to be. People who work there (and some of them live there) are dressed in a traditional cloth. They show to visitors how to bake bread, to weave linen, to make a horseshoe. There are courses offered for those who fancy to learn these skills. There are lots of blue skies, green grass and fresh air. Well, besides the pig barn :) The whole village is very spacious, green, peaceful and well taken care of. There's also a traditional dancing hall with Kornbrennerei (translating freely, sort of like vodka brewery). Next to it is a wonderfull restaurant, serving typical German food. Restaurant itself worth a separate 5 star rewiev. Museum shop offers lots of memorabilia, food/liquor and also some DDR products. There is also a museum building showcasing how our mom and dad's generation used to live their day to day life. It's a great trip for families: there are many interesting things for kids, playground and simply lots of space to run and jump.

Oh, this place is so great! It's a spice museum! You can…read morefind plenty of information about spices, their origins, their usage and how there were and are imported. The space is actually in the Speicherstadt, the largest warehouse district in the world, located right in the port of Hamburg. The museum itself is in a warehouse that used to belong to a spice trader, so it's the perfect location for a museum dedicated to educating and advising people on the origin and usage of spices. There are over 500 years of spicy history in this museum! You can touch and even taste over 50 different spices throughout the museum. It's an amazing visit for anyone who is interested in food preparation, history and spices. Also, the entry ticket is a bag of black pepper, so you're getting something out of this visit in any case! You can also buy spices and spice mixtures after your visit. I've been back many times and absolutely love it.

This museum was very fun. It smells very nice inside, although the spices out on display to smell…read morehave pretty much lost most of their smell / blended together with other spices. There were four samples that you could try (roasted chickpeas, sugared chickpeas, and two other sweet things). It was pretty cool walking around and seeing all the different spices.

Perfect opportunity considering everything is closed on Sunday and its just near to my house... Actually we wanted to go to the Hagenbeck Zoo, but it was already 3 oclock...And this museum is about animal watching as well...so why not?! This museum is fantastic! The bird section is extremely funny, escpecially the German names. Not that the German language is funny, but more the comparison with the Dutch bird names... The fact that all these animals arent real doesnt make it less entertaining..You can sit next to them, touch them (thats actually forbidden..), take some great photos and compare heights. Last but not least, you dont have to pay entrance, which allows you to just enjoy a short hour of fun and education about animals and the past. Great activity for young and old! And a good laugh..if you go there with some friends.

You could get really close to the preserved animals and it made for a very interesting experience that really gave you a better sense of what the animals are like (you don't realize how big a grizzly is until you stand up next to it).
