Rhein-Galerie
The Rhein-Galerie lies directly on the left bank of the Rhine and is the largest shopping center in the city. Across roughly 30,000 square meters of retail space, more than 130 shops, restaurants and service providers are spread over two levels. The south-facing promenade and the restaurant terraces offer a wide view across the river over to the center of Mannheim. Since opening in 2010, the center has brought the city core closer to the river again and is regarded as one of the drivers behind the revival of the Rhine promenade.
Shopping by the river
Over two levels, more than 130 shops sit side by side, from major fashion chains to electronics, drugstores and gift stores. With around 30,000 square meters of retail space, the Rhein-Galerie is the city's largest shopping destination and covers almost every need under one roof. That makes it a practical port of call in any weather, especially while the city center is dominated by construction work.
What to expect
The real appeal lies in the location directly on the left bank of the Rhine. The south-facing restaurant terraces look out across the broad river to the Mannheim skyline, while freight ships glide past below. For many, a coffee with a river view is a must, combining shopping with a genuine taste of the Rhine right in the city of two banks.
Good to know
Since opening in 2010, the center has noticeably drawn the city core back towards the river and is regarded as a driver behind the revival of the Rhine promenade. From here the landing stages and the riverside path are just a few steps away. Anyone who pairs a visit with a walk along the water best experiences how Ludwigshafen is turning back towards the Rhine today.
