Old Town
翱翱翔的大鲨鱼The old town of Heidelberg was not destroyed on a large scale during World War II. The old feeling is still visible. In the Holy Roman Empire, the imperial princes built many towering castles and flavorful cities. Heidelberg has the opportunity to see it.
Heidelberg Palace
LLaGaThe Heidelberg Palace is a must see when visiting Heidelberg. To get there 🥾: you can take a cablecar from the old town. However, I would recommend to skip the queue and just enjoy the around 15min walk up. You will pass by beautiful old villas on the way. What to do 🏰: In my opinion the outside appearance of the castle is more beautiful than the inside. So it’s not worth to spend the entrance fee for a ticket inside. The garden around the castle is free to enter and has great views.
Old Heidelberg University (Alte Universitat)
翱翱翔的大鲨鱼In addition to the ancient castle on the mountain, the old town of Heidelberg is also worth visiting. It is a university town with a kind of book-style characteristic buildings, river banks, old bridges, and antique beauty. The feeling of staying here is very good.

Student Jail (Studentenkarzer)
__ce***36I went to have a look, but I had to pay for tickets, 3 euros per person, which was not worth it. It was where the students were detained. But the management was not very strict, and the students were free inside, and they were proud to be detained.

Philosophenweg
Ssuifeng2019At the end of the old bridge, after walking across a road, it is the entrance to the mountaineering of the philosopher's trail. This is a walking trail about two kilometers long. Because of its pleasant scenery, quiet and leisure, it is very suitable for thinking alone. It is popular with professors and scholars in history. It is also a good place to overlook the old town of Heidelberg.
