Schwetzingen

Schwetzingen, picturesque between Heidelberg and Mannheim, is much more than just a stopover on a convertible tour through Baden-Württemberg. The city charmingly combines baroque elegance, culinary traditions, and an excellent base for convertible tours through the Kurpfalz. With the distinctive Schwetzingen Palace and its famous gardens as the centerpiece, the place invites you to stay, marvel, and enjoy – and offers the best conditions for stylish driving pleasure with the top down along its wide avenues and surrounding country roads.

Schwetzingen Palace and the famous Palace Garden

The Schwetzingen Palace was once the summer residence of the Electors of the Palatinate and is one of the most significant baroque complexes in Germany. The expansive palace gardens – a symbiosis of French rigor and English landscape idyll – are considered a prime example of European garden art of the 18th century. A stroll through the neatly trimmed hedges, past temples, pavilions, and the impressive mosque is like a journey back in time.

Especially in the spring and summer months, the garden unfolds in its full bloom and provides a wonderful backdrop for a relaxed break during a convertible tour. The paths to the palace lead through magnificent avenues that are perfect for a stylish stopover.

Culinary Delights and Regional Specialties in the Asparagus Capital

Schwetzingen is inseparably linked to asparagus – and rightly so. The white asparagus from the region is famous far beyond the city limits and is served in numerous restaurants and farm shops in various preparations during the season. A visit during the asparagus season in spring can be wonderfully combined with a tour through the surrounding fields and villages. For gourmets, Schwetzingen is therefore also a real culinary highlight.

Ideal Starting Point for Convertible Tours

The location of Schwetzingen between the Rhine floodplains and the Odenwald makes the city the perfect starting point for varied outings. To the west, small country roads lead along the Rhine, while to the east, the winding routes of the Odenwald await – particularly appealing on a tour over Neckargemünd, along the Bergstraße or on the Bertha Benz Memorial Route. For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, cruising through the wide fields of the Rhine plain, past orchards and small vineyards is a delight.

Culture, Enjoyment, and Open Roads – Schwetzingen Connects Everything

Schwetzingen is a place that harmoniously unites history, enjoyment, and landscape. For convertible drivers, the city is attractive not only because of its central location but also due to its baroque flair, cultivated atmosphere, and the diverse opportunities for a relaxed drive through the Kurpfalz and beyond.
