Bielefeld? Does not exist!

Just asking thats all -so , i take it this isnt a real trip adviser forum afterall then - ho hum , nevermind xx

Real advices for unreal places (I mean cities that don%26#39;t exist)? You ask for strange things ;-)

Bielefeld is no real tourist hot spot. A quick look in the (few) previous topics in the Bielefeld forum reveals this also.

well , i%26#39;m just wondering if there is anywhere i can take my little grandsons as its a long time since ive seen them (a zoo or park maybe ) - also could you tell me how long it will take to get to my sons house from paderborn airport - he lives in bielefeld -is it far ?? and how much do you think it will cost (in euros) - i%26#39;m like a rabit stuck in the headlights if i%26#39;m not familiar with an area - thanx for your help anyway xxx

I%26#39;m no local, so I%26#39;ve to look up things also at the Bielefeld homepage

www.bielefeld.de/en/attractions/places/

Sparrenberg castle and climbing the tower there will be certainly something for the kids.

There is also an animal park and a botanical garden (bottom of the below linked page)

www.bielefeld.de/en/attractions/sports/

I%26#39;m sure the tourist office in Bielefeld has also lot%26#39;s of information about nearby attractions. Just write them or visit their office when there.
