The library is wonderful - unfortunately you can't see very much of it and are not allowed to see the book tower and its spectacular staircase, although there are postcards of it. The audioguide was patronising and a waste of time - it didn't tell yuo anything that you could not easily see with your own eyes. The attendants were... More

If you visited the tourist/information center and picked up the free map of Weimar then the Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek is stop number 15.

We stumbled on this attraction and were immediately taken with the property and the story. As we moved from room to room we sensed what it would have been like to have lived in this era. We would highly recommedn visiting this place. More

Interesting place, but they should allow taking pictures... and the entrance ticket is quite expensive, considering you are not visiting much more than a room and something else, which was also pretty crowdy. Nice audioguide, but description too long.. couldn't very listen to all they want to say, can't spend there and hour standing up, doesn't worth. More
