a bit industrial
In a nutshell
Worth a few hours visit
Explore Extraordinary Luisenpark
carrie.kindred Says: Tucked away in downtown Mannheim, Luisenpark is a sanctuary for nature lovers, an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city center. Acres of lush greenery and beautifully groomed gardens, relaxing rides in pretty yellow gondolas, miniature golf, a Chinese tea house, a...
Luisenpark - not only for women called Luise
Aunt_Bertha Says: Luisenpark is a large and marvelous city park in Mannheim where you can easily spend an entire vacation without getting bored. We spent an entire summer's day there and although we felt refreshed and relaxed at the end of our visit, we had the feeling that we hadn't even...
The excitement of industrialization
Trekki Says: (Update: April 2009: new website added; tip & text are from February 2007)If you like special museums with educational value, then I highly recommend Landesmuseum für Arbeit und Technik (State Museum for Technology and Labour Development) in Mannheim.In a specially designed...
Relax by the Fountains at the Wasserturm
carrie.kindred Says: The Wasserturm (Water Tower) in the center of downtown is Mannheim's main attraction, and the fountains, statues and grounds surrounding it provide the perfect place to relax after a day of shopping. It would also be a great place for a picnic lunch, though there are tons of...

Gran Cafe Vittoria Gelateria: Our Favorite Ice Cream
carrie.kindred Says: Hands down, ice cream in Europe beats the socks off ice cream in the states. And Vittoria Gelateria has our favorite ice cream in Mannheim. They boast all the same flavors as other ice cream parlors in the area, as well as the same prices (1 euro per scoop whether in a cup...
carrie.kindred Says: Vapiano is situated perfectly in an open, welcoming corner next to Mannheim's main attraction, Wasserturm. It's a casual Italian restaurant, where your pizza, pasta, salad and desserts are made to order, right before your eyes. Reasonably priced and delicious, you can't go...
Italian Cafe: Around Water Tower
Maria250 Says: Had a very yummy, and creamy coffee at a very nice, quiet, and romantic (possibly) Italian cafe right around the Water Tower on a roofed passageway with a beautiful view on the Rosengarten. Wish I would remember the cafe's name, where at we took a break, and mugs of great...
Bao Anh: Above Average Mall Food
carrie.kindred Says: Bao Anh is a cute little Chinese restaurant nestled in Rhein Neckar Zentrum. It's staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and location is more than convenient for mall-goers. This is above average mall food. After ordering you are given you drink and a small complimentary...
Maredo: Steak, Fries, and English Speakers Aplenty
carrie.kindred Says: My husband and I tried out Maredo with some friends yesterday. It was a treat for us Americans. Not only did our waitress speak pefect English, they offered mulit-language menus. (German, English, Spanish, French, and more.) The restaurant was also nicely decorated and very...
Need to rent a car after hours?
carrie.kindred Says: My husband and I have booked rental cars through Europcar several times, and each experience has been very pleasant. You can book online/over the phone/in person, and English speakers will be glad to know that every attendant we've worked with has been fluent in our...
Nemorino Says: Since several train lines come together in Mannheim and then split up again, this is a place that lots of travelers know because they have changed trains here.If all goes well, your new train will be on the other side of the same platform, with the 1st class opposite the 1st...
The Planken: Mannheim's Shopping Mile and Main Pedestrian Zone
carrie.kindred Says: The Planken is located directly in front of the Wasserturm. (The first shops are Burger King and McDonald's on the left corner, and a bank on the right.) There are many tram stops here -- lines 5,4 and 2 stop at Rosengarten, just across the street from the Planken, and the 4...
Rhein Neckar Zentrum: All in One Stop
carrie.kindred Says: Rhein Neckar Zentrum is a mall and shopping center just outside of Mannheim. It's easily accessibe by Tram (Stop name: Tivoli, Line: 5), and has a shop to suit every need. Grocery stores, department stores and a pet shop are sprinkled throughout the usual fashion and gift...
Nemorino Says: In front of the main railroad station in Mannheim there is a sign which at first glance looks like a perfectly normal yellow road sign, such as you might find on any regional highway in Germany: "Gurs 1170 km". But wait! These signs don't normally point to places over a...

elenapetrevska777 Says: I would really like to suggest you to be careful with people that have some (I don't want to be offensive and say mental), but unusual behaviour. Today it happened to me that I was driving my bike next to the street, and I saw one older person in front of me. I was trying to...
christine.j Says: Seckenheim is a suburb of Mannheim, whose water tower is called the baldhead. When you see the tower you know why, it really looks like a bald head. The tower was built in 1911 and was about to be demolished when the lift company Lochbühler bought it in 1978.For its 100th...
Exciting exhibition - nanoworld
Trekki Says: Blick ins Unsichtbare – glance into the unseen - that’s the title of an exhibition, which is hosted in the State Museum of Technique and Work. As the title says, it is an exhibition about the “microscopic” world, down to the proportions of nanometers. 1 nanometer is the...
bonio Says: A pic of Manheim with the Carl Benz Stadion on the left, home of Waldhof Mannheim footbaal club. No game while we were there but the stadium looks OK and they need all the support they can get at the moment so, one day maybe?
christine.j Says: Now you probably say these two large birds cannot really be confused with each other. And what you can see on the picture is a pelican among some storks. You know he is a pelican, and I know he (or she ) is a pelican, but the pelican doesn't know this. He thinks he's a...

Mannheim - so much more than industrial city :-))
Mannheim is a very beautiful hidden gem in the open land of Rhine river lowlands, and very easily looked over with such famous locations like Worms, Speyer and Heidelberg around. It is still referred...
