Schloss
Mannheim's trophy sight is the lemon-and-red sandstone Schloss, Germany's largest baroque palace. Soon after completion in 1760, Elector Karl Theodor moved his court to Munich. The recently restored state rooms are a baroque-gone-mad feast of stucco, marble, porcelain and chandeliers. Mythological gods dance across the walls of the frilly rococo Kabinettsbibliothek (library), while gilt-framed ancestors keep a beady eye on the Rittersaal (Hall of Knights).

Kunsthalle
On Friedrichsplatz' southern side is the acclaimed Kunsthalle, a vast repository of modern and contemporary art by masters such as Cézanne, Degas Manet, Kandinsky and Rodin. The permanent collection is sometimes stored away to make space for blockbuster exhibitions.

Luisenpark
When the sun shines, locals flop on the banks of the Neckar in the Luisenpark, a green spine taking in hothouses, gardens, a butterfly hall, an aquarium and a Chinese teahouse.
