Nestled along the shores of the river Neckar, Heidelberg is one of Germany’s most visited cities. Left intact during the war, its Baroque city centre is packed with architectural treasures. Its pretty skyline includes a dreamy fairy-tale castle, picturesque red-tiled rooftops and beautiful church spires. Explore its many nooks and crannies, ambling through charming narrow streets or take, the famous “Philosopher’s Way”, the best vantage for city views.
Heidelberg is also Gemany’s oldest university town, where students love to while away lazy afternoons on the riverbanks…
Need more convincing? It’s a romantic hotspot too. With a reputation as Germany’s City of Love, it was home to a US base after the war and spawned many Americano-German romances between the Allies and friendly local ‘Frauleins.’
