karlsruhe palace

It is a nice place to take the bike or skates (in summer) and in winter is a nice walk around the gardens, or even to have a picnic there. If you are looking for a nice place to sit and read a book or just see passerby it is a nice escape from the noise of the city.

Went here to the gardens on a cold winter's day, nice walk in the autumn leaves, the palace is also pretty to see both from a distance and up close. Didn't go inside as palace was closed. Finished off with nice lunch in nearby Multi Kulti cafe on the city's edge.

Spent a good part of the afternoon strolling the palace grounds.We went here on a Monday in November, which was a mistake as the museum is closed on Monday. However, that didn't stop us from taking advantage of the grounds and parks surrounding it. Please note that there is a fee to enter the museum, but none for the parks.The grounds are well kept and expansive. Since it was already winter, the many fountains and water were not flowing, but that did not deter us from enjoying them. There is a really nice playground for every age of child hidden among the many paths.Even if you don't make it inside the palace, spending time strolling through the parks is worth the visit.

Not much inside - you have to go when there is an event in the theater. I haven't been to the lookout, but I heard it was good.

This is a 18th century palace with quite modern architecture located very near to the market square in Karlsruhe. It was covered everywhere in snow during the visit here and so did not go inside to see the Baden State Museum. Although tripadvisor has listed the museum as a separate listing but I think they are the same. There were not many people around probably due to snow. Did spot a snowman though built in the approach area of the palace.

With beautiful grounds, lovely architecture and a stunning view of Karlsruhe, it is well worth a visit.

The palace was a wonderful afternoon experience with so much to see, and the grounds were amazing to walk through. We spend several hours enjoying the history and beauty of this magnificent attraction.

The "Schloss" is a palace surrounded by very nice gardens and a forest area in the back. It was destroyed during World War 2, but was rebuilt, and the outside looks like a real palace. The inside is modern and houses a museum. It doesn't look all that impressive. It is a nice place to stroll around outside when the weather is nice. You can spend quite some time walking on various paths or riding a bike. There is also a train that you can ride.On the west side of the castle there is an arboretum with flowers and a greenhouse with some exotic plants.In the summer, many people bring a blanket and sit on the lawn behind the castle to enjoy the sun and have a picnic. It can actually get quite full. There is a restaurant on site, but I haven't tried the food yet. Overall, a good place to spend a few hours outside.

Just a brief visit but was a little disappointed with the building works, but veryy romantic place for couples, the Oktober Beer Fest has started already and is at the back of the grounds, amazing playgrounds for the kids, and a train too that goes around the grounds, it is huge, built around a giant circle and loads of different walks to walk down and discover, great place to cycle to. If you want to come By Tram get off at Marktplatz in Karlsruhe I am afraid the city at the minute is going through some drastic changes so be prepared for building works, we took 2 trams from Baden-Baden for 18 euros you can take up to 5 people on one ticket.

The Palace in Karlsruhe in certainly a must see if your on your way north or south in your trip through Germany. The city of Karlsruhe is one of the most charming little cities that I have had the pleasure to live in, and has done a really good job of maintaining its old world mystique. The grounds of the palace are well kept and open to the public. During the summer people from all over the city come to these open grounds to play soccer and Frisbee, sit in the sun and basically enjoy the surroundings. I am unaware of any official tour, but you can enter the Palace most days and look at the beauty of old world craftsmanship. It is one of those places in a city little touched by the effects of WWII where many of the old buildings still stand and the small cobblestone streets are kept in good condition, like most things in Germany.

With the construction work going on. The pyramid and the castle are both covered hence you can not gauge the complete beauty of this city. But inside the castle there is a great history museum with a huge collection, so its a must for all history buffs. You wont want to miss this one.

Visite the palace and its interesting museum inside Enjoy the view from the tower of the palace. Stroll in the nice gardens of the palace. Karlsruhe was founded and designed by a King as a hunting retreat. The city has an interesting star shaped layout with tree lined avenues. Unfortunately currently many streets are a noisy dirty construction site for the metro. When that work is finished the city will be better than ever.

The whole of the palace front is clad in plastic due to construction work. Even some of the fountains and statues are covered too. It's a big issue for the city, with this being such an iconic view. The fact the main shopping street is also being dug up doesn't help!
