Karlsruhe Palace

Karlsruhe’s Baroque palace forms the centre of the city’s fan-like pattern, from which boulevards extend like the spokes of a wheel. Formerly home to the blue-blooded leaders of Karlsruhe, the palace now houses the Badische Landesmuseum, which exhibits regional artefacts from prehistoric to present times. After your visit to the museum, go for a stroll in the palace’s sweeping gardens to see the exotic trees planted here, as well as many statues from different epochs. On warm days you’ll find plenty of Karlsruhe’s inhabitants sharing picnics on the grass, playing badminton or going for walks.
