Heidelberg Germany

Heidelberg is located in South-eastern Germany along the Neckar River, in the region Rhein-Neckar in the state of Baden-Württemberg. Heidelberg is part of Germany's "Castle Road". Heidelberg is quite famous for the castle, of course, but has so much more to offer, like the stroll along the banks of River Neckar, or even a walk along the famous Philosophenweg, which stretches along the northern bank of Neckar. Strolling along the Neckar, enjoy the lush green gardens of the Neckarweisse, with their fountains and open spaces. The castle is a beautiful set of ruins located on a steep hill overlooking the old town and the Neckar River. From the castle there is the most magnificent view over the old town. The castle houses the German Pharmaceutical Museum which has pharmaceutical equipment from the 18th and 19th centuries. The charming, fairy-tale like old town has seen very little modern development. Strolling these ancient, narrow streets is like travelling back in time. Don't be in a hurry. Stop and look around. Browse in the shops, have a meal in one of the restaurants, and enjoy the atmosphere. In the old town we find the Kornmarkt, the city's primary market square lined with shops and cafes. The Alte Brücke or Karl-Theodor-Brücke connects the old town with the suburb of Neuenheim on the opposite shore of the Neckar. Romantic and picturesque, this pearl of the Neckar, far from being a museum-city, is now a lively university town with an intense, vibrant cultural life.
