Mannheim’s Baroque Palace (Schloss Mannheim) is a vast, fascinating historic residence, with a huge facade and courtyard that together span a total floor area of six hectares.

Question 10

What’s the best way to view Mannheim city?

Accepted Answer

Mannheim city centre is often referred to as ‘the chessboard’ thanks to the city’s structured, intersecting formation of streets, all of which are given grid references rather than names. One of the best ways to appreciate this lattice-like network – as well as the greenery and industrial surroundings of the city – is from above. That’s why we recommend taking a trip up Mannheim’s 200-metre-high telecommunications tower - from here you’ll see all the way across the Rhine plain to the Odenwald forest, and can even enjoy a meal in the revolving Skyline restaurant as the city stretches out below.
