Schlossgarten Schwetzingen Concerts

One of the MUST SEE places in baden wuttemberg. While modern garden is near the entrace, I felt in love with the untouched nature at the other across the garden. Entrace ticket for visiting the garden is 8 Euros which is absolutely fair. (for families and students under 28 is less) Public bathroom and café is available inside Make sure that you do not miss "end of the world" part! I will definately come back here

Even in winter the gardens are worth visiting! €6 for the winter ticket. Most of the statues are covered, there were a fair amount of groundskeepers working, the birds weren't in the aviary and the bath building was closed BUT it was tranquil and still gave lots to explore. There are many beautiful buildings to find hidden around the grounds and lots of bridges, trails and lakes to find. You can access the original statues inside one of the buildings (without access to the castle this is still available to you). Lots of nature and wildlife to enjoy and plenty of sheltered areas, if it is raining a lot, it may not be the best day to visit!

A must see place in Schwetzingen. daily buses from Heidelberg. The schloss park requires entry ticket to enter and see around the well maintained park.

Very Charming and beautiful place. I recommend to visit during the week. It's quite full on the weekends. Especially in good weather. Also a beautiful place for wedding pictures but I would recommend to visit before to find a good spot because the Park is huge! I guess no bride would like to walk a few hours in a wedding dress with heels on sandy paths.

One of the most stunning gardens I have visited. Period. The enormous size, the meticulous eye for detail, the intriguing sculptures and monuments, the symmetry of the French section and the freedom of the English park - this all makes this place a truly unique masterpiece of garden design! The Schwetzinger palace and gardens are located only 10 minutes walking distance from the train station, making this mode of transport quite convenient for a visit. I purchased an 8 EUR ticket (paid by card) to enter the gardens (it entitles visitors to re-entry on the same day if needed). Right after the ticket checkpoint - at the passage under the castle - maps and brochures are available in multiple languages. Grab one, you'll need it in the gigantic gardens! All the social amenities are located at the proximity of the palace - a cafe/restaurant on the right side, the toilets on the left side. There is nothing else within the gardens (no restrooms, no vending machines, no cafes, so be aware!). A detailed explanation of the garden's history and its features and sites is up for a visit in one of the adjacent buildings of the palace, however the explanations are only in German. I spent more than 3 hours here and I could do more, the entire day if possible. Afterall I have seen many people and families with picnic blankets just enjoying themselves. During my time I visited the most important parts and I would recommend touring them all: The Orangerie - eventhoug not possible to visit inside, there are sculptures and statues displayed within its proximity around the park The Apollo temple - small temple with a water feature, great photo opportunity, possible to visit up close The Bath house - beautifully decorated house built like an Italian villa with a possibility of entry and exploration of its nicely furnished lounges The "Volieren" - stunning bird like water feature with bird cages displaying animals mainly from Australia The "End of the world" - unfortunately closed for renovation in July 2022 The Temple of Mercury - a romantic ruin at the very end of the park overlooking a pond and the Mosque and finally The Mosque - one of the most fascinating buildings in the gardens and a highlight for me! Stunning architecture full of symmetry! There are so many other parts of the gardens to admire and visit such as Arion fountain, Weiher lake with its statues and many of the tree arches, some more than 10 meters high and utterly impressive. There are a lot of benches and places for relaxation throughout the garden. Everything is well maintained and very well preserved - it is visible everywhere that people who are taking care of the gardens do it with love. Visited in July 2022.
