Schwetzingen ... 

Want to Enjoy Life to the Full?

If so, Schwetzingen with its delightful atmosphere and ambience is just the place for you! Here, where charm and sheer exuberance are always to the fore, every visit is sure to be a voyage of discovery for mind and spirit.

Feel Like Feeling Good?

Find out for yourself just what the Elector-Palatine, Carl Theodor, left for us to enjoy, in the form of his castle and one of the finest gardens in Europe. A festival for all of the senses, it is an expression of perfect harmony and the art of living at its most refined. As is the magnificent Rococo theatre that is seamlessly integrated into the enchanting castle and grounds. And remember: Schwetzingen once served as a source of inspiration for Mozart himself.

 A Taste for Mediterranean Flair and Much More ?

Then come on over! The splendid square in front of the castle with its wide selection of restaurants and cafés is the perfect place to sit and relax, whether it be with a glass of wine, a coffee or a local asparagus specialty. Lean back and take your time: unless you feel like a stroll along the pleasant pedestrian zone, whose attractive shops always have something to tempt everyone.

In the Mood for Culture at Its Best?

Our calendar of events is well stocked with major exhibitions, classical concerts and performances enjoying worldwide renown, elegant balls and gala evenings in the castle, and lively open-air parties and festivals on the square in front of the castle, to name but a few. Our romantic Christmas market also attracts visitors from all over the region, while the Schwetzingen Music Festival and Schwetzingen Mozart Festival® are events of international standing. There¹s no getting away from it: Schwetzingen is simply brimming over with style.
