In the gardens, we offer costumed tours as well, “In Full Bloom” being one of those. (note, the tour guide dresses in period costume, you don't have to dress up - unless you want to of course!)
With one of Germany’s largest groves of Japanese cherry trees, Schwetzingen Palace is a major draw for the“hanami”, the spring cherry blossom festival. Once the gnarled trees are in full bloom, strolling beneath the boughs is like walking under a pink cloud. And in the gentlest breeze, petals cascade like a waterfall. It is no surprise that every year, as many as 15,000 visitors experience SouthWest Germany’s very own hanami, 90 minutes northwest of Stuttgart. When exactly the natural spectacle reaches its peak depends, of course, on Mother Nature.
