A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Heidelberg, nestled in the hills along the Neckar River, is one of the most picturesque destinations in Germany. It was spared by allied bombers in the Second World War and retains many of the city’s historic treasures that put it at the center of 18th-century romanticism.
The ruins of the once grandSchloss Heidelberg(Heidelberg Castle) rise up on a rocky hilltop over the university town of Heidelberg. While young students and busloads of visitors trundle about below, Heidelberg Castle presides above, drawing an estimated 1 million visitors a year.
