Heidelberg is one of those places that captures your heart from the very first visit.
My first visit was in May 2008 and I visited again in July just two months later with Chris.
I was so keen to show him this beautiful city with its' castle perched high on a hill overlooking the rooftops of the city and the narrow lanes below.
The city has so much to offer from lovely little coffee shops to the museums and off course the river Neckar.
It also houses the oldest university in Germany which was founded in 1386.
There is also an excellent shopping area in the city.
Whether you are in the old town or in the castle, Heidelberg is full of history and the next sight is never far away.

Happy Birthday, Natalie! I have just returned from Heidelberg (about ten minutes ago) after seeing an open-air opera performance in the courtyard of Heidelberg Castle last night. I'm glad I had warm jackets, because it got quite cool towards the end.
Hi Natalie, yes I look forward to seeing everyone after 3 days in Heidelberg. Any idea on the weather? It looks like just of freezing is the norm. Karl
It really is a magical place, you had better weather/views than on our visit last year. Potential for a website? 'The search for the best cakes in Germany'- can I share your research? take care and don't work too hard.
Natalie, excellent page with outstanding photos of Heidelberg. I must admit that I have never been to this popular German tourist spot. Have a lovely Sunday. :-)
It seems you had a really good time in Heidelberg.
I like a lot Heidelberg, even if I didn't explored it a lot. Ciao!!!
Nice city. Hope to one day spend some time in Europe.
Looks like you had some great VT outings! Love those barrels. I could go for that Strawberry cake and iced chocolote right now. They look so yummy!
