Can you give me an idea as to what places, sights to go to in Heidleberg, germany? |
Travel Info I am a first time tourist in Germany. Travel Tips Well, having lived near Heidelberg for two years, I think I should make an attempt at giving an answer! You will need to go see the castle up on the hill of course. It is quite beautiful up there, and there is a nice view over the Rhine river valley. For an even better view, go all the way up the funicular to the Koenigstuhl Mountain. There is also the Altstadt (the old town) where you have your choice of very old buildings and lots of shopping and restaurants along the Hauptstrasse. The university is famous and is almost 500 years old, with a beautiful botanical garden. The Museum of the Palatinate has the amongst other things the jawbone of a human discovered in the area from 60,000 years ago. If you have time, you can drive down the "castle road", which is the highway that follows the Neckar river eastwards from Heidelberg. There is castle after castle there, culminating in the gorgeous city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, which the allies avoided bombing in WWII and consequently is still a very beautifully preserved walled city. Included below is a link to their tourist info site that contains a lot of good information. Vielen spass mit ihren Reise!
