About Heidelberg

Heidelberg pairs Germany's oldest university with a part-ruined Renaissance castle above the Neckar river, a combination that made it a byword for Romantic-era German scenery. Its pedestrianized old town, stone bridge and Philosophers' Walk draw visitors who come for the view rather than any single museum.
