What to Expect
Depart from Frankfurt in the morning and enjoy a scenic drive through the lush German countryside to Heidelberg, the “City of Romance.” Upon arrival, your guide will lead you through the city’s crown jewel — the Heidelberg Castle.
Perched high above the Old Town, this partially ruined masterpiece is a fascinating blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Explore the spacious courtyard, admire the grand terrace overlooking the Neckar River, and see one of the largest wine barrels in the world, the famous Heidelberg Tun — a symbol of the city’s festive spirit.
After your castle visit, take a leisurely walk through the medieval town center, where cobblestone streets and half-timbered houses transport you back in time. Admire the Old Bridge, the historic Karlstor, and the Church of the Holy Spirit, one of Heidelberg’s most iconic landmarks. You’ll also pass the House of the Knights, featuring a stunning Renaissance façade, and the University of Heidelberg, Germany’s oldest university, founded in 1386.
