"Heidelberg" Heidelberg by sandysmith

Heidelberg Travel Guide: 1,039 reviews and 2,716 photos

Heidelberg is an enjoyable town with its laid back atmosphere and
picturesque squares and fountains. Its remarkable old university dates back to 1386.
Students were renowned for drinking a lot, duelling a little and when necessary
an amazing amount of serious academic study - sounds familiar!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Delightful old university town

    We went to Heidelburg on a scorching hot day so I know I visited the town but cannot put much memory to what we saw (which is a shame). Your pages filled in the blanks spots quite nicely, thanks!

    An absolute must for everyone visiting the Rhine area. I'm dying to find some cheap Germanwings ticket to Cologne, but no luck up to now :-( Excellent page, excellent photos, but then again, the city offers too many picture opportunities, doesn't it :-)

    Heidelberg is wonderful. Guess all of us like those outdoor cafes for coffee and people watching!
