Where to stay in Mannheim

City centre (Quadrate)

  • first-time visitors
  • shopping
  • business travel

The centre is laid out as a grid of blocks, the Quadrate, which gave the city its nickname Quadratestadt. Wikivoyage explains that addresses are given as a letter and number such as Q3, 12 rather than street names. Wikivoyage names Planken and Breite Straße as the two big pedestrian shopping streets here, and Wikipedia lists Mannheim Palace, the Jesuit Church and Kunsthalle Mannheim among the sights.

The city's tourist board says the 60-metre water tower, Mannheim's best-known landmark, stands on the edge of the grid, surrounded by Friedrichsplatz, which it calls one of the largest Art Nouveau ensembles in Germany. Luisenpark, which Wikipedia says is named among Europe's most beautiful parks, is also in this part of town.

Getting around Mannheim

Wikivoyage says Mannheim is a regional hub where ICE, IC and regional trains all stop, with direct connections from many German cities and international ones. Wikipedia notes that Frankfurt International Airport lies to the north, and the area is ringed by motorways towards Frankfurt, Karlsruhe, Saarbrücken and Nuremberg. For rail times between the airport and Mannheim, check Deutsche Bahn's journey planner.

Local transport includes the RheinNeckar S-Bahn, eleven tram lines and numerous bus lines operated by Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr (RNV), according to Wikipedia. Wikivoyage adds that trams connect Mannheim to Ludwigshafen, Heidelberg and Weinheim, and that the grid layout means you navigate by block rather than street name. RNV's website offers departure times, a live ticker and connection information, and the regional ticket network is Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (VRN).

Living in Mannheim for longer

For longer stays, Wikivoyage points to the Planken and Breite Straße shopping streets, a mall across the river in Ludwigshafen and another in Viernheim reached by tram line 5. Wikipedia says the Marktplatz hosts a farmers' market on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and Wikivoyage mentions bakeries open on Sunday mornings. It also says Mannheim has a large Turkish community, with many Turkish restaurants and shops in the area west of Marktplatz. The tourist board says half of the city area is green space, which helps if you want parks for running or walking.

The University of Mannheim is based in the palace, according to Wikipedia, and the city's harbour is the second-largest river port in Germany with around 500 companies. If you are relocating for work, see serviced apartments for relocation.
