Mannheim is situated close to the freeways A5 and A6. From the freeway junction "Mannheim" on the A6 take the exit "Mannheim City" (Mannheim Stadtmitte), and then follow the signs towards the train station (Hauptbahnhof) and University (Universität). The road will lead you into the city, passing the train station on your left. 700 m after the train station you will see the palace, which is the university.
