The Luisengarten in Mannheim is truly a beautiful, spacious and varied park that is well worth the entrance fee. Several themed gardens, including the Citrus Garden, Chinese Garden with the largest Chinese tea house in Europe, Heath Garden and Healing Garden, a gondola pond and numerous meadows for resting and playgrounds, offer enough variety for all ages so that time flies by. Everywhere is cared for and nurtured. After 1975, the Federal Horticultural Show will once again make a stop in the city on the Neckar in the coming year 2023, which means that the centre of the park will be completely redesigned. That doesn’t bother you at all, there’s always enough to see.
