All important information at a glance.

What does the app offer?

First, the app lists all the important information for your visit: hours, prices, directions, dining, and contacts. Furthermore, an adventure tour is available for download, ready to be used offline and on site. You can listen using headphones or by holding your smartphone to your ear, the way you would for a phone call. It's best to download the app while you're still at home and to take a peek at the monument. That way, you can start your visit as soon as you arrive on site.

The tour

The 75-minute multimedia adventure tour through the Baroque palace contains 23 audio and visual stations: Guests can listen to details about the palace’s history, listen to conversations between historical figures, see picture galleries, slideshows, and films—for example, the Electoral Palatinate Chamber Orchestra playing a piece from the famous Mannheim School, or the curator in the electress’ magnificent Library Cabinet.
