Top Attractions in Heidelberg
- Get lost in the old town, where the picturesque squares, gift shops and cafes create a leisurely holiday atmosphere where you can lose track of time meandering the narrow streets and alleys. Here you will also find some old churches and historic sights, traces of the city’s heritage and history.
- Visit the castle; rising magnificently from the luscious green grounds which surround it, this late medieval castle is ancient and crumbling yet remarkably beautiful, and makes for a perfect afternoon spent exploring the ruins and taking photos, enjoying a picnic on the grass or learning more about its history.
- As a university city, the student population give a dimension other than the timeless feel of the castle and the old town. When you get tired of taking in the sights, head to one of the traditional taverns that scatter the city to try some tasty German ales, then if you can muster up the energy check out the nightlife that lights up Heidelberg on an evening with live music, entertainment and clubs keeping the night owls occupied.
- History lovers will find everything from the deep and intriguing to the weird and obscure amongst Heidelberg’s wonderful range of museums. Religious, art and technological history all ooze from the various venues and can fill endless hours on a rainy day.
- Get out of the centre and take a walk on the wild side; hire a bike or take a hike in the Odenwald forest or countryside surrounding the castle and other landmarks near the city. For a really fulfilling walk, check out the UNESCO World Heritage site of the impressive Roman Limes, that still loom the landscape today.
