Lonely Planet review

You could spend hours roaming around the diverse and well displayed exhibits at the Haus Der Natur (Museum of Natural History), located in the centre of the old city. There are flora, fauna and mineral displays, exhibits on physics and astronomy, a 42-tank aquarium, a reptile house and plenty of live creepy crawlies.

The 36-tank aquarium is considered one of the most beautiful in Central Europe and contains a vast collection of brightly coloured tropical fish. Another highlight is the excellent reptile house featuring, among other cold-blooded critters, fresh water crocodiles and deadly snakes. If you need some sustenance to stave off possible museum fatigue there's an inexpensive outdoor terrace cafe.
