Tour of Schwetzingen Palace and the Palace Garden

Wednesday, July 7 from 15.00 until 18.00

This tour will carry you off to the splendor of the romantic Schwetzingen Palace and its opulent palace garden – a complex which Germans like to call the “Palatine Versailles.”

In 1742, the Elector Carl Theodor turned Schwetzingen Palace into his summer residence and was also responsible for the creation of the palace garden which is still considered to be one of the most beautiful European gardens.

English-speaking tour guides, dressed in historical costumes, will take you on a tour of the fascinating staterooms of the palace as well as the impressive palace garden which has been nominated to be included into the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Details of the Tour: You will be picked up by a coach at the Ehrenhof (Court of Honor) of Mannheim Palace. After a 30-minute ride to Schwetzingen, you will enjoy your 90-minute guided tour of Schwetzingen Palace and its palace garden. There are numerous cafés and restaurants across the court of the castle if you want to get some refreshments after the tour. At 17.30, you will be driven back to Mannheim Palace.

The price includes all costs for transportation as well as for the tours of the castle and of the castle garden conducted by English-speaking guides. Refreshments are not included.
