About Heidelberg
Heidelberg is one of the most beautiful and most visited cities in Germany — a romantic university city on the Neckar River dominated by the imposing ruins of Heidelberg Castle on the hillside above, with a perfectly preserved baroque old town stretching along the river bank below. The castle, devastated by French troops in the 1690s, is the most visited monument in Germany after Neuschwanstein — its red sandstone ruins glowing golden in the afternoon light above the baroque rooftops of the old town — and the view from the castle terrace over the old town, the Neckar and the surrounding hills is one of the great urban panoramas of Europe.
Heidelberg University, founded in 1386, is the oldest in Germany and gives the city its unmistakeable academic character — the Studentenkarzer (student jail, where students sentenced for minor offences were imprisoned with remarkable tolerance, leaving extraordinary graffiti across the centuries), the University Library with its Palatine collections, and the lively café culture of the Hauptstrasse all reflect this heritage. The Philosopher's Walk (Philosophenweg) on the hillside across the Neckar from the old town — the favourite walking path of Goethe, Hegel and Heidelberg academics across generations — gives the finest panoramic views of the castle and the river bend. The Neckar valley east of Heidelberg, with the castle road towns of Neckarsteinach and Hirschhorn, is one of the most scenic river valley drives in Germany.
Important Transfer Information
Heidelberg Castle: Heidelberg Castle is one of the most important Renaissance palace complexes in Germany — its dramatic ruins above the old town, the Heidelberg Tun (world's largest wine barrel, 221,726 litres capacity), the Ottheinrichsbau (the finest Renaissance façade in Germany), and the pharmaceutical museum within the former apothecary are all accessible by funicular and guided tour. Advance ticket booking strongly recommended in summer.
University Heritage: Heidelberg University (1386) is the oldest university in Germany and its heritage permeates the city — the Studentenkarzer (student jail) with its wall graffiti accumulated over centuries, the University Library housing the Codex Manesse (the finest medieval German song manuscript), and the Neue Universität on the Universitätsplatz are all open to visitors.
Neckar Valley Drive: The Neckar valley between Heidelberg and Heilbronn — the Burgenstrasse (Castle Road) — passes through some of the most scenic river valley countryside in southwestern Germany, with medieval castle towns, vineyard terraces and the Neckar winding through wooded hills. Car hire at Stuttgart Airport for Heidelberg allows this extraordinary drive on arrival or departure.
