Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Neckar runs underneath the Old Bridge in Heidelberg.

Its a 362-kilometre-long river in Germany., a tributary of the Rhine River.

Around the river are some lovely historical building perched on the hill.

Its a favourite location for river cruise boats.

The Neckar River cuts through the historic city of Heidelberg, creating a beautiful scene with old buildings flanking both sides of the river. Best viewed from the Old Bridge or from above at the castle.

The Neckar river banks create a beautiful, picturesque and scenic route lending themselves to nice romantic walks. Every step of the way one can admire beautiful views, examples of interesting architecture and enjoys pleasant atmosphere of this old University town and its river.

This river sides are beautiful and picturesque, great for pictures as populated by tourist attractions such as bridges or castle views but also stunning villas.

The Neckar is as cute as rivers come, close to the similarly romantic Mosel. So this area is ideal for a romantic, or just relaxing vacation.

We had a Blast at the historic castle. We did the pay tour of the inside of the very well preserved renascence era Elector castle. It was well worth the admission. The tour guide was fantastic, we learned so much. I would recommend it to families with or without small children. The Cafe had plenty of offerings for everyone and all of our choices were delicious.

We took a boat trip down the river and back from Heidelberg, which I'd thoroughly recommend. It was interesting to see the locks in operation and there is plenty to see en route.

So much beauty and culture here! We stayed in Heidelberg and took a boat upriver to the small towns. I could live here! One of my favorite places I've been in Europe!

Having tried the Donnau (Danube) and Mosel rivers I think the Neckar cycle path surpasses both of these. Much quieter, but stunning scenery largely away from built up areas (a short section through Stuttgart less attractive). Quiet cycling on tarmac or gravel paths. Lovely towns with plenty of places to stay, good food and hospitality. As a bonus you can end the ride in Heidelberg which is a beautiful university town with a real cosmopolitan feel. Thoroughly recommended
