Itinerary

    Konigstuhl

    30 min

    Arriving at an altitude of 568 metres, you escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The Heidelberger Hausberg offers breathtaking views over the Neckar valley, the Rhine plain and sometimes even up to the Vosges mountains in good weather.

  2. 2

    Stop 2

    30 min

    The Heidelberg cable car is an attraction in itself. The upper, nostalgic track takes us to the whey cure in a slow, steep ride. From there, the lower cable car, one of the most modern funiculars in Germany, takes you to the castle in a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Schloss Heidelberg

    1.7 hours

    Heidelberg Castle, the epitome of German Romanticism, towers majestically over the city. A tour of the inner courtyard and the castle garden reveals the eventful history of the former residence of the Electors of the Palatinate.

  4. 4

    German Pharmacy Museum

    The German Pharmacy Museum invites you to travel through time. The exhibits offer fascinating insights into the history of medicine from antiquity to the 21st century.

    Heidelberg Tun

    15 min

    The entrance to the cellar, which houses the legendary Great Barrel, is located in the Royal Hall building. This world's largest walk-in wine barrel was made from 130 oak logs in the 18th century and holds over 219,000 litres of wine.

    Kornmarkt

    10 min

    The most picturesque and historic square in Heidelberg.

  11. 11

    Philosophenweg

    1 hour

    You will end the day on the opposite side of the Neckar, where you will embark on the famous Philosopher's Trail. This climatically favoured panoramic path owes its name to the Heidelberg scholars who once walked here. From here you can enjoy the classic postcard view : the deep blue ribbon of the Neckar, the Old Bridge and the castle that shines in the sunlight - with a glass of Palatinate wine you say goodbye to Heidelberg.
