Mannheim is located at the confluence of the Rhine and the Neckar Rivers in the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg. Some travelers 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 Romanesque 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.
Homburg
Homburg is a town in the German state of Saarland, close to the country's border with France. Homburg offers travelers a unique attraction in the Schlossberghöhlen, an underground complex of 17th-century sand mines. Visitors can take a guided tour of the tunnels and caves to learn about the site's long history: from 250-million-year-old footprints in the red sandstone to the mines' use as air raid shelters in World War II. After your trip underground, get some fresh air on a hike to the Karlsberg Castle. The castle lies mostly in ruin now, but the forest trails in the area are regal in their own right.
For younger travelers in your group, Homburg has a few exciting kid-friendly activities too. Gulliver-Welt is a park just outside of town with miniatures of world-famous buildings and a playground to enjoy. Fun Forest AbenteuerPark Homburg is perfect for older kids who embrace a little adrenaline. Ziplines, rope courses, and a scenic lake ensure a memorable adventure for the family.
Several forms of transportation make it easy to reach Homburg and discover all of its hidden gems. FlixBus and Sindbad offer affordable bus service from bigger cities like Frankfurt, Munich, and Lyon. Buses arrive at Homburg's Central Train Station, along with Deutsche Bahn trains that connect to destinations throughout Europe.
