Karlsruhe in the Rain

Karlsruhe has some of the best indoor museums in Germany - perfect for rainy days. The ZKM, the State Art Gallery, the Baden State Museum in the palace and the Natural History Museum are all worth seeing in any weather.

Karlsruhe in the Rain

Day 1

Museums, cafes and a brewpub

Four top museums in a single day - it's tight, but we set priorities and build in breaks.

  1. 10:00 - 12:30

    ZKM Center for Art and Media

    A must. Interactive installations, media art, immersive experiences - exactly the right world to be in when it's raining.

  2. 13:00 - 14:00

    Suppdiwupp

    A soup spot with a changing menu. Hot soups, curries and stews - all-weather food.

  3. 14:30 - 16:00

    State Art Gallery

    Cranach, Gruenewald, Caspar David Friedrich. One of the most important collections of Old Masters in Germany.

  4. 16:30 - 18:30

    Karlsruhe Palace and the Baden State Museum

    Inside the palace, the Baden State Museum presents archaeological and cultural-history collections. The palace tower is also worth a visit in the rain (it's indoors).

  5. 19:00 - 21:30

    Badisch Brauhaus

    A classic brewpub with its own brewery. Schäufele, Maultaschen and house beer - the ideal rainy-day therapy.
