Heidelberg
Heidelberg brings a castle, Baroque old town and Neckar river views into one compact setting. The Old Bridge is a natural place to understand how they fit together.
From the Old Bridge, Heidelberg Castle rises above the old-town roofs and the Neckar defines the scene below. The city's historic university adds substance beyond the familiar postcard view. Follow the winding streets before seeking the bridge perspective, then decide whether the castle deserves a separate uphill visit.
What to look for
The Old Bridge frames the castle above the town.
Old-town lanes run close to the Neckar.
The castle overlooks Heidelberg's historic core.
Useful to know
Walk the old town and bridge together before committing to the castle climb.
Allow extra time and effort if you plan to go up to the castle.
