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, centring 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 coach lines serve Mannheim with routes to cities including Munich, Essen, and Frankfurt.

Situated halfway between Düsseldorf and the Dutch border in the west of Germany, Mönchengladbach is best known for its football team and the famous Borussia-Park stadium where the team plays. However, Mönchengladbach also has a diverse cultural heritage, a rich art scene, and many green spaces for entertaining any non-Bundesliga fans who visit.
Experience Mönchengladbach's artistic culture at the Abteiberg Museum. Filled with contemporary and modern art, the Abteiberg has become an icon due to its vast collection of enviable art, including works by Franz Marc, Man Ray, and Marcel Duchamp. A gorgeous sculpture garden also makes the museum worth a stop.
If you prefer something a bit more historical, head to the Schloss Rheydt. This stunning moated palace, rebuilt during the Renaissance with the arches and facades on view today, dates to the year 1060. Various tours take place daily, displaying weapons, works of art, and exhibitions. Keep your eyes peeled for the fabulous peacocks wandering the grounds!
Mönchengladbach's rail connections offer travel to Duisburg, Düsseldorf, and Cologne. From these bigger cities, you can transfer to long-distance trains that traverse most of Europe. Coaches also serve Mönchengladbach, with regional routes offered by FlixBus and Sindbad.
