Numerous leisure facilities, attractive residential areas, well-kept municipal parks, the landscape between the Palatinate and the Odenwald and, above all, the open-mindedness of the citizens of Mannheim allows new arrivals to feel at home after a very short period of time.

The "green" city
You can relax and enjoy outdoor leisure time even in the city centre. The electoral castle with its spacious park by-the Rhine which stretches as far as the nature reserve "ReiB-Insel", the Herzogenriedpark, the Luisenpark and the woods in the north and the south of the city are popular places for those seeking to spend their leisure time in the open air.

Living in all categories
Living in all categories From the Art-Nouveau-style flat in the chessboard-like planned city centre to the single family house beneath chestnut trees at the Neckar - Mannheim offers accommodation for all demands in the city centre and the environs at reasonable prices - about one third cheaper than in neighbouring conurbations. New residential complexes are constantly being developed

Charming landscape in the Palatinate and the Odenwald
The recreation areas to the east and west of the only 40 km wide Rhine plain are just a short drive away. You can choose between the „Weinstraße“ and the „Bergstraße“, between Bad Dürkheim and Weinheim, between the Hambach castle and the Heidelberg castle. There is not one who would not succumb to the charm of the beautiful landscape, the wines and the culinary delights of this area. Even the citizens of Mannheim themselves continue to discover new delights in the abundance of leisure opportunities
