Mannheim sits where the Neckar meets the Rhine in southwestern Germany, and its centre is laid out as a grid of squares identified by letters and numbers rather than street names, which is unique in Germany and takes some getting used to. The baroque palace anchors the southwestern corner.
The Mannheim Palace is among the largest baroque palaces in Europe and now houses part of the university. The city has a strong claim as the birthplace of the bicycle and the motor car, documented in the technology museum, and the water tower in its formal gardens is the city's emblem.
