Walden Owing to its even architectural features, Karlsruhe reflects the spirit of rationalism. Founded as a Grand-Ducal residential city, Karlsruhe accommodates the oldest technological university of Germany. Nowadays, the city is a "Residence of Law" that comprises the supreme German courts of justice. |

| Although the City (or what the residents refer to, i.e. the shopping mile
around the triangle Marktplatz, Europaplatz and Palace or Schloss) is rather
small, but there are som exceptionally nice residential areas (like the
Weststadt) and it's well worth exploring all the city's small side alleys
and have an espresso or cocktail in one of the many hidden cafes and bars.
(Rumor has it that Karsrluhe has the second highest number of bars per head
in Germany, second only to Berlin.) Karlsruhe can be used as a basis for exploring the Black Forest. Karlsruhe is a major tech and industry town, although you wouldn't know when you're strolling along the shopping mile: Karlsruhe is big in IT, so it's all clean & high-tech. Karlsruhe contains of the disctricts Aue, Beiertheim, Bulach, Dammerstock, Daxlanden, Durlach, Grötzingen, Grünwettersbach, Grünwinkel, Hohenwettersbach, Innenstadt, Innenstadt-Ost, Innenstadt-West, Kirchfeldsiedlung, Knielingen, Maxau, Mühlburg, Neureut, Nordstadt, Nordweststadt, Oberreut, Oststadt, Palmbach, Rintheim, Rüppurr, Stupferich, Südstadt, Südweststadt, Waldstadt, Weiherfeld, Weststadt and Wolfartsweier. ________Sights Edit This [Add Sight] Ducal Palace Edit This (Called "Karlsruher Schloss") The former residence of the Dukes of Baden was built over the period 1749-1781.

The palace now houses the excellent Badisches Landesmuseum, which houses a collection of antiquities as well as decorative arts, sculpture, porcelain, and furniture from the Middle Ages to the present day. type: Castles World66 rating: [rate it] Municipal Park Edit This x Karlsruhe is a green city. Where else can you find such a splendid Municipal Park with an attractive zoo between the railway station and the city centre? It is worth spending a day in this city just for the parks alone. Beautiful parks with old trees, well-tended lawns and borders, and the nearby forests lend this city its expansive, tidy apperance. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Highcourt Edit This Germany's two highest courts of law must not be forgotten: The Federal Constitutional Court and the Federal Appeal Court are well-established "residents of Karlsruhe". type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Staatliche Kunsthalle Edit This Housed in a Neo-Renaissance building constructed between 1843-46, the collection mainly consists of German and Dutch painting from the 16th-19th century. Gruenewald's famous Crucifixtion (1523) is one of the highlights. type: Hotspots World66 rating: [rate it] Zoological Museum Edit This (Called "Naturkunde Museum").

Check for the ever-changing temporary exhibitions, which are always worth exploring, although not always cheap. But plenty of discounts apply, and hardly was a visitor disappointed. Also, there is a permanent exhibition which features the history of media art among other things. It's a touch&see kind of museum: Lot's of interaction, like becoming part of an art piece by being filmed and being copied live into the video art etc. This also makes it a family museum: Even little kids will more.. type: Hotspots World66 rating: [rate it] __________Nightlife and Entertainment Edit This Some of Karlsruhe's nightclubs, from the perspective of a local: Amadeus According to its promotion, the largest indoor club in downtown KA. Three dancefloors, the music ranging from cheese to trance to hiphop. Worth checking out. Tip: Don't like shelling out for the drinks? Swipe the bottles from behind the bar, the bar tenders will not notice if all of them have their backs turned or are serving at the other side! Nachtflieger Not what it used to be, however still promising during the week with a spacious interior and house / chillout / downbeat music. Unverschämt Decent metal / gothic club. Friday's recommended: the drinks are 1/2 price until 11pm. Free entry before 10:30pm. Spa Pleasant, social atmosphere. Pricey. Strippers on Fridays are to be recommended. Nachtcafe Avoid at all costs; consists of a largely aggessive, underage clientele who all dress identically. Cheap drinks. Unterhaus As above. Do not go, unless its on a thursday when the miniscular size of the place is forgotten about with €7 entrance for drinks on the house. Contributors February 22, 2006 change by giorgio [Add Entertainment place] ___________Bars and Cafes Edit This Some recommended bars: Mood Bar & Lounge Offers a unique James Bond like 70's atmosphere. Serves the best cocktails in town alongside international house dj's spinning on the weekends. Lehner's This bar is so good, everyone goes here from teenagers to aged men. Be sure to check out the happy hour for 1/2 price long islands from 9pm weekdays! El Tequito Best mexican themed bar. Great food and cocktails, perfect for a date. Badische Brauhaus Get your mass (one liter glass) of this in house brewed nectar. This enormous traditional German drinking enterprise covers 4 floors, and hosts live music on the weekends. |
