    We made a bycicle trip to the castle Belvedere. It takes about 20min uphill from Weimar. It was the summer residence from Carl August of sachsonia and a lust residency (Fun fact by the way). It is one of the prettiest residencies in Thüringen. Their is an orangery, a fountain and sometimes show events. Since 1998 it is a UNESCO world heritage and an ensemble of "classical Weimar". Absolute must see if you have 2-3days sightseeing in Weimar!

    Was a bit disappointed that a lot of the furniture was not on display, and most of the displays were of glass and china items... I would want to see the kitchen, the batrooms, you know? Intimate moments of their lives that we rarely get to see... But it's overall a very sweet, beautiful "little" castle.

    The grounds of the Belvedere are a delight with unexpected water features, beautifully maintained gardens and wonderfully wild woods in perfect harmony. A very good place for running and hill training.

    What a beautiful waste. This place is magnificent, spectacular and boring. Seems like it could be one of the top tourist attractions in the region, bustling with life, events, festivals - instead: it’s just there. Like if the administrators would just not care. Be sure to check out the magnificent park valley in the back.

    Small exhibit inside but beautiful grounds. Very easily accessible from the center of Weimar by bus. They have a nice outdoor cafe as well selling drinks and light food options.

    Beautiful parks and building s. Must visit next to Weimar! It's a bit to walk from the city center (4km), but you can also take the bus.

    I have visited the place in month of September. It was a hot day so I did not enjoy more. Although castle is very unique. You need to pay 13 euro to look inside the castle

    Beautiful surrounding. Easily accessible with public transport. Good parking facility. I did not find any cafe/restaurant nearby. So have some food with you.

    The Baroque Schloss Belvedere, Weimar on the outskirts of Weimar is a pleasure-house built for house-parties, built in 1724-1732 to designs of Johann August Richter and Gottfried Heinrich Krohne for Ernst August Duke os Sax Weimar.Today it houses part of the art collections of Weimar, with porcelains and faience, furniture and paintings of the eighteenth century.

    A small "castle"( Italians would call it villa). Quite unfriendly staff , no credit card accepted. The visit is fine, it depends what you compare with. There's not much left from it's time of glory. Plenty of porcelain and a few family paintings of a rather ugly family. Not a good place to visit with children. I don't feel it was worth the visit and the mood was not improved the adjoining restaurant which was an insult to any standard of service and had bad food.

    I spent some time here and it was fascinating with music and of course the beautiful garden. You will be a fool if you miss this.

  • 2/5 Madie D. 6 years ago on Google
    All is relative, but I don't recommend this place for the following reasons : 1) The palace is neat, but hardly any furniture from its time is left 2) you should think of it as a museum of a few objects from the 19 th and 18 th century. Mainly porcelain. And a few paintings of its owner's 3) it is not a good place to visit with small children, and we are visiting an average of 25 castles a year wth our kids, so we have the frame of reference and they love castles. Think if this small palace as a large house filled with fragile things too accessible for kids. 4)only the main house was open for visiting when we came end of July 2017, 5) the tickets are about Eur6,50, for seniors as adults, high price for what you see. Includes audio guide French English and German 6) YOU CAN'T PAY WITH A CARD so think of that before you go all the way here. 7) the worse of the trip was the castles restaurant THE RUDEST PEOPLE WE HAVE MET THIS SUMMER , they actually REFUSED to heat our baby food !!! Believe it or not, so far this has never happened to us anywhere in the world ( where microwave was available) which we travel extensively. 8) I gave this 2 stars only for the neat park. 9) the AVERAGE age here is 70 10) there was an awful temporary exposition, all in German , but we had the impression it was about mixed cultures. I don't recommend this place, so many nicer and friendlier places to see.

    Only saw the outside, not the inside of the Palace. Was very pretty but parking is not free! Neither is the use of the toilets!

    The place is pretty nice. There is a castle where you can visit and pay like 6.5€ (as far as I remember). Inside the castle there is a lot of porcelain. You also get something like a phone and while walking into the castle, you can find more information about the rooms that you are visiting. Also, there is a big park with trees and flowers. Really good for a picnic day. As I noticed, if you are visiting only the park, you don’t have to pay anything. Totally worth it. I gave it 4 stars because inside the castle, there was a lot of “new” porcelain, not everything was authentic. When I planned to go there, I expected to see authentic things, not a porcelain museum.

    Nice calm place. If you want to cover the whole area I suggest a bicycle even better if a electric one as there are many acends
