The 11th century Imperial Cathedral of Speyer is one of Germany's largest and most important. Its crypt contains the tombs of eight German emperors and kings as well as several bishops. Modern heads of state are often brought to the cathedral as a symbol of Germany's past.

Speyer was also a center for Jewish scholarship in the medieval period. The ritual bath, "mikew," is one of the most complete in Europe.  Speyer Technik Museum has a large collection of airplanes, classic cars, locomotives, fire engines, a German U9 submarine and a Russian An-22 transport plane
