Overview of your Heidelberg tour:

The Garden of the Palace of Schwetzingen is a historic and ornate garden located in Schwetzingen, Germany, at a 20min drive from Heidelberg. It was created in the 18th century and is known for its exquisite design, impressive water features, and artistic landscaping. The garden covers an area of about 72 hectares and is considered one of the finest examples of a Baroque garden in Europe. One of the garden's highlights is the expansive geometrically designed parterre, which is adorned with sculptures and flower arrangements. The parterre is surrounded by tree-lined walkways, offering shaded promenades for visitors to enjoy. Water plays a significant role in the garden's design, with a series of canals, fountains, and pools that create a sense of serenity and tranquility. The most famous water feature is the "Hercules" fountain, which depicts the mythological hero. This tour is offered for a party of four but can also be for more guests!
