Information for visitors with reduced mobility and wheelchair users

There are no parking facilities available on the grounds of the gardens. The nearest car park is the Q-Park Schlossgarage Carolinenplatz.

The nearest tram stop is ‘Darmstadt Pallaswiesenstraße’. From there, it is about 270 metres along Schloßgartenstraße to the Prinz-Georg-Palais at the northern entrance to the Prinz-Georg-Garten.

There is an accessible toilet near the Prinz-Georg-Palais. This can only be opened on request by staff at the gardens. Staff are usually on site from Monday to Friday between 7.00 am and 3.30 pm.

Northern entrance at the Prinz-Georg-Palais: no steps, gate width approx. 108 cm

Northern connecting gate to the Herrngarten: no steps, gate width approx. 107 cm

Southern connecting gate to the Herrngarten: three steps without a handrail

Access is via a wide staircase with nine steps (handrail from the 4th step onwards), followed by a door threshold.

The paths in the Prinz-Georg-Garten are covered in gravel. In wet weather, the paths may become soft and therefore more difficult to walk on. The park is largely flat. There are steps only at the southern and south-western exits, and at the entrance to the reading room in the Prettlack Garden House.
