Panorama Terasse at the MDR building

EaterDave 14 reviews

This is the classic panorama terrace on a big building's rooftop. The problem is you may only see one side of the city (as you cannot go on the other side of the terrace, you pay 2 Euro, you don't get any information nor information tables.

Unique Suggestions: Take a picture

Fun Alternatives: None

Trams in front of the Central Station

Don't enter public transportations without a valid tricket! If controller find you without an valid ticket they will charge you a penalty payment of € 40.00.
Use ticket automats at tram stations. If there isn't any you can purchase tickets in some trams too (you need a 'Geldkarte' to pay). Since beginning of 2002 you cannot buy tickets at the driver anymore.

The Zoo !!!

White bears sunbathing

Ok, let me try to explain something here ... and let me start from the price: 9 Euro.
For this price I must expect a wonderful area, absolutely clean & refurbished ... and of course this was not the case !
Fish pavillion was awfully hot & humid inside (i couldn't stay more than 5 minutes), all small lakes were dirty and the over-advertised Pongoland was ok but not enough.

Unique Suggestions: Relax and eat something ... at least bratwurst are as wonderful as almost everywhere in Germany.

Pay attention on prices. In Europe all articles are priced in Euro and national currency. In Germany the highest price on an article is in Deutsch Mark, the other in Euro.
