City Information
Mannheim
Mannheim is located at the confluence of the Rhine and the Neckar Rivers in the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg. Some travellers are intimidated by the factories surrounding Mannheim, but don't overlook this unique destination. Mannheim is an excellent place to discover fantastic museums, amazing retail therapy, and scenic parks and squares.
Mannheim differs from most other German cities in its layout. The city is arranged in a grid pattern with individual quadrants. The unusual layout of the city originated in 1606, centering the Friedrichsburg fortress, now the Mannheim Palace, which is one of the largest palaces in Europe. This elaborate palace houses the University of Mannheim and treats students to royal surroundings.
Mannheim is known for its industry and innovation. For example, Mannheim is the city where Karl Drais built the world's first bicycle and where Karl Benz (as in, Mercedes-Benz) constructed the first automobile with an internal combustion engine. The neo-baroque Wasserturm, or water tower, is another feat of German engineering, and visitors can walk through the surrounding rose gardens and discover the tower's many sculptures.
Mannheim can be accessed by train, road, or air. Frankfurt International Airport is easily accessible by a high-speed shuttle bus, while Mannheim Hauptbahnhof offers ICE, IC, and regional train access. Sindbad, FlixBus, and many more bus lines serve Mannheim with routes to cities including Munich, Essen, and Frankfurt.
Darmstadt
Darmstadt is a large city in the state of Hesse, near Frankfurt. It is known as Germany's City of Science due to the many scientific institutions and academies within the city's limits. A long list of notable landmarks makes Darmstadt a worthy destination to explore.
One of the most popular landmarks in the city is the ruins of Frankenstein Castle, which is said to have inspired the world-famous novel by Mary Shelley. Another is the St. Mary Magdalene Chapel, used by the Russian imperial family during their visit to the city. Finally, if you're a fan of quirky architecture, don't miss the art-nouveau museum Institut Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt or the Waldspirale, a colourful, spiraling residential building built in the 1990s.
To begin your Darmstadt adventure, catch a bus or train, both of which usually arrive at the Zweifalltorweg station. FlixBus and Sindbad connect Darmstadt to other cities by bus, and Deutsche Bahn, FlixTrain, and Railjet provide travel by train. From Darmstadt, some of the most popular destinations are Stuttgart, Munich, Cologne, and Rotterdam.
