Mannheim, 3 hôtels

Discover the impressive Mannheim Baroque Castle! The historic site is one of the biggest Baroque monuments in Germany. With its impressive architecture, its interesting museum and the picturesque castle garden, the secular building is a significant site to visit in Mannheim. The court chapel of the electoral building paved the way for European classical music and went down in music history as the "Mannheim School". Today the castle forms part of the seat of the university, which can be considered one of the most beautiful in Germany.

In the middle of Friedrichsplatz Square sits the best-known landmark of this university city, the Water Tower. Especially after dark, the brightly lit water feature enchants passers-by. But even during the day, the tower is an impressive sight with its large and small water basins and numerous sculptures.

Enjoy a unique view over Mannheim! The Telecommunications Tower offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful panoramic view of Mannheim, the Rhine Valley, the Odenwald and the Palatinate forests, from a height of around 120 metres. If you want to be spoiled with the breathtaking view and indulge in some culinary treats, the tower’s revolving restaurant is the perfect option.

The most significant religious building in the city is the Evangelical Christus Church. It was built in 1907 in Art Nouveau style, to celebrate the city’s 300-year jubilee. The architectural style of the building is evident in the reliefs above the main door and the gables above. Particularly impressive are the figures of the 12 Apostles, which feature on the dome of the tower. The symbols of the four Evangelists are placed on the four spires of the tower. At the top of the church stands the gold statue of Archangel Michael, which can be seen from afar.

Relax in Herzogenried Park! Relax in the rustic model garden, in the magnificent rosarium, along one of the many shaded, tree-lined avenues, at the park lake or at the Kneipp basin. If you prefer to be a little more active you enjoy chess, table tennis, trampolining and much more. For younger visitors to the park, there is lots to do. A water play park, a rope circuit, a cave maze and an animal enclosure are all on offer.
