10 Things to do Good for Kids in Heidelberg That You Shouldn't Miss
Home to the oldest university in Germany, Heidelberg was hit hard during 17th-century wars and rebuilt in the 18th century with baroque buildings. For a pleasant walk, stroll through the historic city center's Gothic streets. Be sure to take in Heidelberg Castle, the symbolic heart of the city; Alte Brucke, a beautiful 18th-century bridge; and the Student Jail. Built as long ago as the 16th century, it was used to keep mischievous students off the streets for three days to a month at a time. And they say Penn State is the number-one party school!

Exclusive and personal tours in and around Heidelberg from the author of the book "Fascinating Heidelberg", Vera Cornelius. I worked 10 years as the CEO of Heidelberg tourism and events (of the City of Heidelberg) and have a profound knowledge of the region. My guests are driven with a luxurious Jeep Grand Cherokee to several interesting destinations as Heidelberg Holy Hill & Castle, Castle & Park of Schwetzingen (the stunning summer-residence of the former Electors Palatine), the Castle-Road (on the footprints of Mark Twain) or to the pretty and famous German wine region Pfalz. Of course also walking tours are possible in Heidelberg. Plus I have cooperations for example with the legendary formular 1 racing court Hockenheimring and other high-quality partners in and around Heidelberg. I offer also personal shopping or help find the best restaurants and wineries. My promise is to make your stay an individual experience in Heidelberg that is one and only. Warm regards Vera

A must do in Heidelberg.Take the funicular railway to the castle and enjoy fantastic views over the city.A guided tour of the castle allows a much better insight the the history and the lives of nobility who lived there. If you have lunch at the castle cafe-the apple strudel and the rhubarb water are highly recommended.

This beautiful town had a lot to offer. The streets were all ups and downs with narrow alleys and small cafes all around. The hilly town has lush greenery everywhere. We could enjoy a short walk here.
