I’m a native Californian and I live and grew up here in Mannheim (there used to be way more Americans here, back when we still had all the military installations). Next time you guys pass by, I’d love to show you around. Not just Mannheim but also the surrounding area like Heidelberg etc. The car was invented here (by Carl Benz) as well as what’s considered to be the first bicycle, so there’s actually a lot of history. Edit: and you guys really did smell chocolate lol, we have a chocolate factory in Jungbusch.
Ahhh! We knew it! It had to be chocolate. Mannheim seemed pretty cool. It would be nice to spend more time there and be shown around by a local. - Josh & Kalie
A really nice video. I´m from Mannheim and i must say, Mannheim is much more then in the video see. I miss the spirit of the town and the magic of "multi kulti". One day is not enough for this great city.
Thanks, Michael. Yes, we certainly get it. There's wayyyyy more. It's all we could capture with sunset at 4:30 and a toddler while also maintaining a theme. We'd actually like to go back. It was a fun little stop over to break up our train journey from Luxembourg to Frankfurt. - Josh & Kalie
That's right! Among other things invented there. Pretty cool. It seems like they are all about transportation there. 😁 Yes, we wish we got more markets in as well. - Josh & Kalie
Mannheim is probably my favourite place outside of the UK. Go over every year for a couple of hockey games. Its not an immediately obvious tourist city, but there's plenty to see and do. A great place for a long weekend because of the places that are only a short train journey away. Day trip to Heidelberg is a must, but nothing comes close to my pre-match hockey routine. Food in Murphy's Law. Tram from Tattersall to SAP Arena. Get your standing spot in the stehplatz and (hopefully) cheer Die Adler to victory. The people of Mannheim have always been fantastic when I've been over for hockey. Loads of soccer options in the area and pro handball too. Just a brilliant place to visit.
You were staying right in my neighborhood. I love Mannheim and it looks like you had fun as well. Edit: the car, the bicycle, the escalator and the spaghetti ice were invented in Mannheim. So we like to invent thins.
Didn’t you just love Luxembourg? We stayed in little Portugal area last time, it was wonderful. Haven’t done Mannheim só next time. Love all the wall art you see through out Europe.
It really was. It was a shame we didn't get to go into any of the museums. Cia was very tired of sitting with the trains and stroller time. - Josh & Kalie
I have been to Luxembourg, but never set foot in Germany. Go figure. When I was in Luxembourg it was for work and we always went into France the week that I was there. Someday hope to make Germany. Looked like a fun trip to Mannheim.
Great teamwork as usual. That is a ton of stops in small amount of time. I have never heard of that town. Maybe on the next trip can you visit on the inside of some of the places.
Thank you, Robert. It really was. Stuff was really close together and truth be told, without a toddler and with a full day starting at let's say 9 am in the city, we could and have would have gone in most things. - Josh & Kalie
As usual I just luv you two (oops three) and this was a fun little challenge...glad you made the train and I have to know...how was the chocolate store?
Guys, Manheim seems pretty dull. I have been only once there and would never fly to get there for 24 hours. Another thing, if the trip took place after 25 December, you should check out the covid restrictions in Germany for people coming from Portugal (especially the little one/quarentine of at least 5 days). Stay safe.
good video, good documenting, looks a industrial city very grey, not very interesting at least not far from any other general big city I guess on my terms... travel for me knowing is good but interesting is even some more, but well sometimes we go to places like this out of curiosity...stay safe and thank you for the video I watched it all as almost everytime all your videos.... happy new year for you three. regards. Hugo
Thank you very much, Hugo. Great to hear from you and hear your perspective. We appreciate you watching and supporting our content creation. Your time is valuable and we appreciate you taking the time to watch our stuff. Happy New Year to you too. - Josh & Kalie
Mannheim has a huge history. It is the capital of the electoral palastine with its palace. Also, it is the city where the automobile and the bicycle was invented. There is a lot of history to be discovered. I invite you to get here and get your own picture of this lovely place.
I have a drivers license and a motorcycle license in the US. So if I moved to Portugal how would that work? I would definitely want to buy a motorcycle for sure. Thanks love the content 😀
You're running a little fast through my hometown! How are you supposed to get an impression of the city? It's a former working-class town now favored by students and artists! Next time let a resident show you the city...even in 24 hours!
You know, we didn't really run into any issues in Frankfurt except for the fact that we were there during the holiday period where things shutdown from midday on the 24th and didn't reopen until Monday or Tuesday in some cases. We were turned away in Koblenz as we tried to go to a restaurant near the train station and we didn't have a covid test along with our vaccine. The problem in Mannheim is that we were so full from the late lunch that we didn't need a full dinner and we think we misunderstood the signs on the door that we just need to show proof of vaccine or letter of recovery and not also the PCR test. 😅 - Josh & Kalie

Mannheim is were the bicycle was invented! I wish all the markets had been up for you, they are magical.

@@ExpatsEverywhere Also the City of the First ever Car.
My wife is from Mannheim and I recently traveled there and stayed at maritime hotel..loved germany and the people
Cool place! - Josh & Kalie

Mannheim is my little London. The vibe is pretty similar.

“I’m not even gonna try to pronounce that mess!” 🤣 Get your asbestos suit out, Josh! 😆
😂 It's gotten worse now that we're in Poland. It feels like every word has far too many "Z"s and "Y"s - Josh
Didn’t you just love Luxembourg? We stayed in little Portugal area last time, it was wonderful. Haven’t done Mannheim só next time. Love all the wall art you see through out Europe.
LOVED IT! What a place. We would actually like to see more of Luxembourg, especially the countryside. Thanks for watching this video. - Josh & Kalie
That was a whirlwind visit! Wow! Cia was a trooper!😜
Pedal to the metal. She was a real trooper. - Josh & Kalie
My kind of travel. Basically, guerrilla tourism. Haha. Happy New Year! 🎊🎉🥳
😅 😂 With a toddler?!
Happy New Year to you too. - Josh & Kalie
Its nice to see the city i lived for 4 yrs.some of the sites you walked to bring back memories thank you guys for sharing the video
That was a whirlwind. And with a toddler in tow too. Definitely ups the difficulty level.
It really was. It was a shame we didn't get to go into any of the museums. Cia was very tired of sitting with the trains and stroller time. - Josh & Kalie

@@ExpatsEverywhere Seriously overdue!!! I am in NC and traveling afterwards but once I get back in town, let's! Have an outstanding new year, team❤️
I love Mannheim. I used to be stationed there while in the army; Kafertal section. Just hop on the number 5 train and straight to downtown.
Thanks for sharing! We liked it too. We just didn't have enough time there. - Josh & Kalie
I grew up between the US and Germany and lived not far from here!
Wow! Did you ever visit Mannheim? - Josh & Kalie
I have been to Luxembourg, but never set foot in Germany. Go figure. When I was in Luxembourg it was for work and we always went into France the week that I was there. Someday hope to make Germany. Looked like a fun trip to Mannheim.
John, Luxembourg is pretty cool. We actually want to see more of the countryside there as well. The Mannheim stopover was a whirlwind. - Josh & Kalie
Make sure to stop by in Mannheim, I’ll definitely show you around!
I admire you guys doing all these traveling with Cia in tow!
Thank you. We're having a blast with her. - Josh & Kalie
Great teamwork as usual. That is a ton of stops in small amount of time. I have never heard of that town. Maybe on the next trip can you visit on the inside of some of the places.

As usual I just luv you two (oops three) and this was a fun little challenge...glad you made the train and I have to know...how was the chocolate store?
Thanks, Veronica! 😁 We're definitely glad that we made the train. We never made it into the Chocolate die Bar. 😅 - Josh & Kalie
Mannheim is fantastisch 🤩
Love that word! Fantastisch! - Josh & Kalie
No it is not a big city whit nothing special in weekend don't even com out the people is the worst city form Germany.
Remind me of Frankfurt, lovely city!
In was, we liked it better than Frankfurt. It was certainly smaller but also felt safer. - Josh & Kalie

I miss working in and living in Germany but for Winter, I think I would prefer to stay in Portugal.
Yeah, especially since there's a heatwave in Porto! 😁 - Josh & Kalie
I’m visiting Mannheim in the summer. Which Mercure hotel did you stay in ?
Fun! Now I want to go!
Let's go, Sandra!! 😁 - Josh & Kalie

I would give my LEFT arm to have retired in Mannheim... but my wife of 22 years (from Worms, Germany) wants to stay in America...
Did you mean to say "army"? Thank you for sharing your love for Mannheim.
I thought everyone had heard of Mannheim Steamroller.
How’s Madeira weather wise in the winter ? It gets dark here in Boston at 4:30 too
The only reason i wanna visit this place is bc of milo manheim
Mannheim is wonderful city
Nice video, nice energy
Thank you 😁
I have a drivers license and a motorcycle license in the US. So if I moved to Portugal how would that work? I would definitely want to buy a motorcycle for sure. Thanks love the content 😀
Thanks for the love. You'd certainly need to go through a license exchange. - Josh & Kalie
Chocolate or poop?! 😆😆😆
😂 - Josh & Kalie
Mannheim is cool
thanks
You're welcome! 😊 Wild trip. - Josh & Kalie
You're running a little fast through my hometown! How are you supposed to get an impression of the city? It's a former working-class town now favored by students and artists! Next time let a resident show you the city...even in 24 hours!
Norbert, we'll be calling you next time! - Josh & Kalie
Mannheim rocks!
Change every- to no-. Go to Heidelberg.
Eating dinner in one's room.. that's what living in or visiting Germany means until this horrific health pass regime is finally overthrown.
You know, we didn't really run into any issues in Frankfurt except for the fact that we were there during the holiday period where things shutdown from midday on the 24th and didn't reopen until Monday or Tuesday in some cases.

Mannheim is a city with bad police, you don't need to know anything else
Very “informative video” 😂
Mannheim by night
Yea, that whole sunset thing 😅.... - Josh & Kalie
such a boring and depressing tiny city that has a lot of room for improvement....such a pity
