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, dramatically ruined by French troops in the 1690s, is one of the most famous ruins in Germany and the most visited monument in the country after Neuschwanstein, its red sandstone walls glowing golden in the afternoon sun above the rooftops of the old town. Heidelberg University, founded in 1386, is the oldest in Germany and gives the city its distinctly academic and intellectual character.
The Heidelberg old town (Altstadt) — largely spared from WWII bombing — is an extended baroque townscape of exceptional quality, centered on the Marktplatz with its Renaissance Heiliggeistkirche and extending along the Hauptstrasse (Germany's longest pedestrian shopping street) to the Karlstor city gate. The Philosopher's Walk (Philosophenweg) on the hillside above the old town gives the finest panoramic views of the castle and the river valley, and was the contemplative path of Goethe, Hegel and countless generations of Heidelberg academics. The Neckar valley east of Heidelberg — the Burgenstrasse (Castle Road) — is one of the most scenic river valley landscapes in southwestern Germany.
Important Transfer Information
No Direct Train from Airport: Heidelberg has no direct train connection from Frankfurt Airport. The connection requires changing at Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof for the regional train to Heidelberg. Total journey time by public transport approximately 75–90 minutes with connection. Our direct private transfer in 60 minutes is frequently faster and always more convenient.
Heidelberg Castle Timing: Heidelberg Castle is open daily and requires a funicular ticket or 20-minute uphill walk to reach. The castle illuminations (Schlossbeleuchtung) — three evenings per year when the castle is lit by fireworks and floodlights from the Old Bridge — are one of the most spectacular events in Germany. Dates vary annually.
Neckar Valley Excursions: The Neckar valley east of Heidelberg — with the castle road towns of Neckarsteinach, Hirschhorn and Eberbach — is one of the finest river valley drives in Germany. A car hire or private day excursion from Heidelberg gives access to some of the most scenic countryside in the Rhine-Neckar region.
