It was not easy to get to Heidelberg from Ireland but if you do make the effort you will not be disappointed. The trains, trams and buses are plentiful and reasonable. But do they but the visitors ticket get value for money. You even get a ticket for the castle with it. I would recommend. That if you want to do a lot of sight seeing you should not go in the winter months as quite a lot of things are closed or only open or run on a Saturday. But if it is the Markets you are coming for in December you will not be disappointed. The food was good value but like a lot of reviews I have read service is not their strong point in Germany not just Heidelberg. As I have been to quite a few places in Germany and staff are inclined to be slow and somewhat rude. I take no joy in saying this.
A must see. Beautiful stone carvings and statues. Visited in late October. Very beautiful time to admire the views, and weather was great. Take time after your tour to sit and enjoy a beer in their bar.
Walk through this historic gate to the pedestrian-only Old Bridge. Then look back at the Old Town from above the river.
Went to Germany. Spent a month. This was the best castle we toured. Went to garmish .. see reviews ... and this was amazing as well. Wish we would have stayed here a week. So much to do. Food on street was incredible and the Cory was was so clean. Will be back again.
Such beauty, these towers, this gate. The richness of the town is reflected in this structure, as is the strength.
Enjoy!
The old part of the romantic city is beautiful with most of the buildings made in the 17th Century. Our guide was very informative and we enjoyed walking on the bridge.
