Heidelberg's popularity is based on 3 essential elements
of the city: its location, castle and university. Situated in
a valley of the Neckar river, the beautiful old town
with its sights and narrow, picturesque roads, is easily accessible
on foot.
The lively main street is ideal for shopping: In specially created
pedestrian area no cars or forms of public transportation are
allowed to disturb your shopping experience.
The world famous castle is without doubt Heidelberg's
highlight. A perfect view of the city, numerous cultural activities
and festivals attract the castle's countless visitors. If you
extend your stay into the night you can enjoy the magical nature
of the lighting and - if you are lucky - one of the many firework
displays.
The city's atmosphere is formed by its university. A
favourite among Germany's students, it has always guaranteed
a certain free spirit and been a home to great thinkers and
an impressive number of Nobel laureates.
