| Heidelberg Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see the roman bridge the roman bridge Heidelberg (pop. 132 000) on Neckar river is set among lovely hills, where the Neckar valley opens into the Rhine valley. Its famous 600-year-old University of Heidelberg (the oldest in Germany, founded in 1386) has several Renaissance towers and turrets at the base of a hill near Heidelberg Castle. Be warned: It is a draw for fleets of tour buses in the summer. |

| The best way to enjoy the town is to stroll along the Hauptstraße in the old
section to mingle with the local crowds and to sit at one of the many street
cafes or beer halls. (If you have a car leave it at a parking garage on the
outskirts or you will go crazy trying to find your way through the maze of
small one-way streets.) Also visit the Heidelberg Castle which changes
colors with the different angles of the sun (take the cable car near
Kornmarkt to get to the castle). View the city from the Karl-Theodor Bridge
which citizens of Heidelberg just call "Alte Brücke" (Old Bridge). The
nearby Philosophenweg gives a great overlook of the city, it is definetly
worth walking up this steep path. For Roman artifacts and more tour the
Kurpfälzisches Museum. Day trips can also be made to the castle and
vineyards of the Neckar Valley. __________Sights Edit This Heidelberg Castle Heidelberg Castle Jennifer McElhannon Heidelberg Castle alone is a reason for visiting the city.
