Heidelberg is one of the prettiest and
best-preserved towns in all of Germany. It is set in picture postcard perfection
alongside the Neckar River, with a classic castle towering above.
Filled with Old World charm, it’s
almost like a fantasy version of an ancient German town, or something
dreamed up by Disney — but this is the real thing.
Heidelberg’s historic center of
picturesque early 18th century buildings, about one mile long and four
blocks wide, is an ideal-sized pedestrian zone to explore on foot.
