Schlosstheater Schwetzingen
Event venue
👍 The Rococo Theater is well worth seeing even when there is no performance. Tours of the theater are occasionally offered, which you should of course take advantage of by running in the castle park.

Merkurtempel
Historical landmark
👍👍 Leider kann man zur Zeit wegen Sicherheitsbedenken nicht mehr ganz nach oben. Trotzdem sehr schönes Motiv mit Ausblick auf die Moschee. Der Merkurtempel wurde vom Hofarchitekt Nicolas de Pigage als Ruine gebaut. Highlight ist die zu einem Viertel offene Kuppel.

Schwetzinger Spargelfrau
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The super-inspired work is an attraction for all tourists who come to Schwetzingen. First to take a picture with the asparagus seller and then to admire it from the nearby terrace where you can quietly enjoy a beer looking at passers-by.
