Great palace complex - especially the castle garden - once the summer residence of the Palatine electors.

Alone in this huge, winding garden you can linger for days, get lost and dream ... An enchanted place! Always find it wonderful how the color of the castle glows in the evening!
We highly recommend the Musik im Park event every year at the beginning of August! Small concerts with often well-known artists! We have already been to a Michael Patrick Kelly concert here! Insanity!!!

Wow, impressive and always worth visiting, despite corona requirements.
In the garden, we were particularly impressed by the mosque and especially the corner of the Temple of Apollo and the bathhouse as well as the perspective with the “end of the world”. Anyone who has seen the bath house can understand that the elector bathed, worked and stayed there most of the time! It is really cozy there compared to the castle with its rooms. The view of the end of the world is also relaxing and romantic. For us the highlights in an overall wonderful castle garden.

If you should take a look at the Schwetzingen Palace, you should also invest the money to have gone to the Schwetzingen Palace Gardens. You can switch off wonderfully here and just let your mind wander and there is always something to see and marvel at!
