Its the best place around karlsruhe, palace building is okay. But musium is awesome and pleanty of ancient and antique artefects placed here. Worth to spend atleast 2 hours here.
free on friday afternoon, there a history of everything, but the part i liked more is the contemporary on the 2nd floor
The whole of the palace front is clad in plastic due to construction work. Even some of the fountains and statues are covered too. It's a big issue for the city, with this being such an iconic view. The fact the main shopping street is also being dug up doesn't help!
The Palace in Karlsruhe in certainly a must see if your on your way north or south in your trip through Germany. The city of Karlsruhe is one of the most charming little cities that I have had the pleasure to live in, and has done a really good job of maintaining its old world mystique. The grounds of the palace are well kept and open to the public. During the summer people from all over the city come to these open grounds to play soccer and Frisbee, sit in the sun and basically enjoy the surroundings. I am unaware of any official tour, but you can enter the Palace most days and look at the beauty of old world craftsmanship. It is one of those places in a city little touched by the effects of WWII where many of the old buildings still stand and the small cobblestone streets are kept in good condition, like most things in Germany.
This is a 18th century palace with quite modern architecture located very near to the market square in Karlsruhe. It was covered everywhere in snow during the visit here and so did not go inside to see the Baden State Museum. Although tripadvisor has listed the museum as a separate listing but I think they are the same. There were not many people around probably due to snow. Did spot a snowman though built in the approach area of the palace.
With beautiful grounds, lovely architecture and a stunning view of Karlsruhe, it is well worth a visit.
It is a nice place to take the bike or skates (in summer) and in winter is a nice walk around the gardens, or even to have a picnic there. If you are looking for a nice place to sit and read a book or just see passerby it is a nice escape from the noise of the city.
Spent a good part of the afternoon strolling the palace grounds.We went here on a Monday in November, which was a mistake as the museum is closed on Monday. However, that didn't stop us from taking advantage of the grounds and parks surrounding it. Please note that there is a fee to enter the museum, but none for the parks.The grounds are well kept and expansive. Since it was already winter, the many fountains and water were not flowing, but that did not deter us from enjoying them. There is a really nice playground for every age of child hidden among the many paths.Even if you don't make it inside the palace, spending time strolling through the parks is worth the visit.
Just a brief visit but was a little disappointed with the building works, but veryy romantic place for couples, the Oktober Beer Fest has started already and is at the back of the grounds, amazing playgrounds for the kids, and a train too that goes around the grounds, it is huge, built around a giant circle and loads of different walks to walk down and discover, great place to cycle to. If you want to come By Tram get off at Marktplatz in Karlsruhe I am afraid the city at the minute is going through some drastic changes so be prepared for building works, we took 2 trams from Baden-Baden for 18 euros you can take up to 5 people on one ticket.
Went here to the gardens on a cold winter's day, nice walk in the autumn leaves, the palace is also pretty to see both from a distance and up close. Didn't go inside as palace was closed. Finished off with nice lunch in nearby Multi Kulti cafe on the city's edge.
