Mannheim, Germany Cruises

Mannheim, Germany Cruise Port

• One of loveliest spots in the city is Luisenpark, named after Princess Luise Marie Elizabeth of Prussia. This municipal park includes gondoletta boats, greenhouse, and a Chinese garden, as well as a butterfly house and bird exhibits. Towering over the park is the iconic tower called Fernmeldeturm.
   
• The Mannheimer Wasserturm (or Water Tower) is another famous city landmark, built in the late 1800s. Located in the art nouveau area known as Friedrichsplatz, a water fountain and gardens provide a relaxing setting. There are also places to shop and eat while you sightsee.
   
• Built between 1733 in 1756, the Jesuitenkirche or Jesuit Church was fashioned in Baroque style and is rich in art pieces from that period. Whether religious or interested in architecture, the inside is breathtaking; if you're lucky enough to catch the organ being played or a choir rehearsal, it may just give you chills.
   
• Those who love science as much or more than history will be delighted by Technoseum. If you visit the entire technology museum, you'll experience a trip through time from Baden-Württemberg's industrial revolution until the present. Exhibits include the history of electric guitars, understanding Einstein, and a space adventure.
