👍👍 It is a great experience of walking with so much beautiful view to the castle, old Bridge and river. And it is with beautiful birds singing and smell from flowers. I recommend to everyone who visit Heidelberg for not long time as it is the best opportunity to see all town during short time.

👍👍 I feel that this church may be overlooked compared to the Dom. Don’t miss this beautiful church! Amazing stained glass windows, architecture and tiled roof. Love this place! Easy walk down the Main Street from the Dom.

👍👍 Contrary to what I thought, this was not built by the Romans, but by the third Reich. It was used as a place of gathering and propaganda. But nowadays it's a peaceful place and a good hiking spot. There is a nice view of the city and you can spend some time admitting the scenery.

Over 20,000 exhibits on 2000 years of medical science & pharmacy, including glass apothecary flasks.
