This museum gives a nice look at part of the historic castle (most of it is now the university). The audio guide had lots of good information.

Nice look from outside; sadly, the main palace only opens on special occasions such as "Schlossfest" in early September or some national holidays. You can also take a look at the great ceiling inside by entering the library for Law faculty of University Mannheim. The museum on the left side is also a great place to visit :). I prefer the "old palace" years ago when there were still some fountains in the main yard.

This shloss was on our list to visit during our short stay in Mannheim. Well, it looks really nice outside - clear baroque style, a lot of space and air.However, there is not much to see inside - entrance, few halls and partially restored rooms, original servants stair-case (most amazing place in the palace) and basement of the original city walls. Nice pictures of the beautiful park how it was in 19th century gave feeling how nice this place was. However, in current days the Schloss is in the middle of the busy area surrounded by railways and roads. It is great that most of the schloss is used for University. Hope students like it :-)

I stayed in Mannheim more for the travel connections it offers, having good bus and train connections. The tour books don't speak much of it as a travel destination and this could be reflected in the relatively high hotel prices.I had to drop by as it is one of the main attractions of Mannheim. It is in the grounds of the University, so it can't be missed if walking. The exterior is very pretty, with yellow and red sandstone walls and gold trim in various places. The staff are courteous and helpful.The exhibits are nice, but somehow I felt it was a bit *too* focused on local history, so there was no 'wow' factor for me. This was also because photographs are not allowed.Well, there is a large courtyard outside and a lot of pigeons were around then, with their droppings. A lot of rubbish was flying around, perhaps due to the windy period I visited, in September.

The interior has been restored and slightly modernized but you still get a good sense of what it once was. The audio tour was included with the price of admission which was very reasonable. Great place to tour around at your own pace.

As a university the place is...not great. Small, unchallenging classes, awful canteens to name just a few of its flaws but I'm not reviewing it as a university. I'm reviewing the museum. So, my family came to visit me and said they wanted to see my uni. I said there wasn't much to see but they insisted. I told them that I think there might a gallery or a museum somewhere in the uni if they wanted to go looking for it. So we did. I was completely shocked. I had no idea my university was also once such an extravagant place with a captivating history. We were all blown away. The history is quite dense so you would be bored unless you are a history buff like myself and my parents.

I was a student at the Mannheim University, so I passed the museum part practically every day. But I never went inside. Chicken, I guess. Then one day I got to use the newly built library for research, and walked past the windows overlooking the staircase, and I was entranced by the beauty. I actually got to go in only recently, during a festivity. There we got to see amazing rooms, and listen to beautiful music sung by costumed people. My daughter and husband danced to baroque music. But the hall where to music was played was the best! Since some of the rooms in the university still have some of that beauty, I hoped to see it there, too. And I was not disappointed.

This is a very historic place! Most of the castle is part of the university, but walking through the main gate, coming from the centre, over the square you will find the museal part of the castle. It is worth taking a guide in order to get elaborate informations about the history of Electoral Palatinate, which also resided in Heidelberg and Schwetzingen. Later on the Duchy of Baden partly inhabited the castle. During World War II this castle was heavily destroyed, but fortunately important parts could be reconstructed with original materials, antique furniture and tableware going back to the 17th til 19th century. With guests we visit the castle regularly and everybody was very impressed!

The palace shares grounds with the university. You must walk through the main gates, across the open outdoor square, and you will find it. At only €6 per person, it is well priced. The palace initially may seem a bit uninteresting, but this is where the provided audio guide comes in. You can listen to information about various elements in the attraction, and skip others that may not interest you. We were there about 1.5 hours. Worth a visit while in Mannheim!

Enjoyed the palace. As part of admission received English audio guide. In addition to telling about the palace, it was a nice introduction to the history of Mannheim.

Its really big and cool to look at. But its not exactly the types of castles you see around here. Its more flat and elegant than old and historic. It plays host to the University here, and is definitely worth a look.

The Staircase is very impressive. Some rooms are glorious and it is definitely worth a visit. Great history and not far from Heidelberg so it is a must!

For a Schloss that was essentially ruins during the war, this reconstructed building was painstakingly remodelled and rebuilt with a keen eye for detail by master workmen. Absolutely breathtaking room still available to view and rent out for special occasions and parties. Great history and great atmosphere.You need to buy a sticker to allow pictures to be taken.The museum is interesting and broad in its subject matter as well.

The baroque interior of Mannheim Palace is well worth checking out if you are in the area. The palace was seriously damaged in the second world war, so most of what you see is a reconstruction but no less glorious for that. The visual impact of the grand ceremonial staircase and knights' hall (Rittersaal) is worth the admission in its own right. The ground floor museum also includes an almost completely hidden delight - the original rococo library of Electress Elisabeth Augusta - which you cannot enter, but only glimpse through a glass panel.We opted to take the audio guides but soon found the waffle of the fictional characters quite insufferable! However, they do help explain the original purpose of the rooms (in contrast to their use today).A small additional fee is payable if you want to take photographs.
