Welcome to Mannheim – the City of Science

Get to know your new academic home on a relaxed city tour that starts at Mannheim’s magnificent Baroque Palace, once the residence of prince-electors. From there, we head to the impressive Jesuit Church and into the heart of the city – the famous grid-shaped streets known as the “Quadrate.”
This is where Mannheim’s vibrant urban life unfolds: between renowned museums, lively squares, and the popular shopping boulevard “Planken.”
Historic monuments meet contemporary art, while the city’s diverse culinary scene invites you to connect and recharge.
The tour ends at the beautiful Friedrichsplatz, where you can take a break by the Art Nouveau water fountain – with a perfect view of Mannheim’s iconic Water Tower.
