About Mannheim
Known globally as a city of invention and innovation, Mannheim is the point at which the Rhine meets the Neckar. Unusually for a German city, the old town is laid out in a grid pattern leading to the nickname, 'the city of squares'. A vibrant cultural hub, Mannheim is a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network and is particularly well regarded for its music scene. In a city so heavily shaped by water, it's natural that the best places to stay in Mannheim tend to overlook one of the two rivers.
Things not to miss:
- Perhaps the most impressive sight in the city is the stunning 18th century Mannheim Palace. Today it houses the University of Mannheim, a place with a great reputation for Business and Economics. In Germany it is known as the 'Harvard of Germany'.
- The city hosts a wonderful farmers market in the Marktplatz every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
- There are a number of beautiful churches to visit in Mannheim. The best of these is arguably the 18th century Jesuit Church.
- Go for lovely walks and explore Luisenpark, one of Germany's most beautiful parks. Running along the Neckar, it has an array of greenhouses and gondoletta boats.
A city of innovation, Mannheim is most famous for having invented the first bicycle as well as the first car. Our selection of the best places to stay in Mannheim often reflect this inventive culture.
