Take the short drive south to Heidelberg’s romantic Neckar setting, baroque old town, and iconic castle ruins perched on the hill. Spending the day here offers ample time to see Germany’s oldest university city in depth.
Expect 1 hour each way through southwestern Germany. A private driver from Frankfurt Airport ensures you explore the romantic university city and historic castle ruins at your own pace.
At the top of every visitor’s list is the symbolic heart of the city — the red-sandstone Heidelberg Castle, which is consistently voted by foreign visitors as the top tourist attraction in Germany. Visitors can wander the grounds and from the castle walls, marvel at the views of the Old Town that never fail to thrill. The Old Town itself is a must see in order to sample the charms of the elegant churches, picture book lanes, and alleyways set against the backdrop of the beautiful Neckar River. This area of the city also contains the longest pedestrianized shopping strip in Germany. Slightly out from the center, but no less impressive is Philosophers’ Way, the name given to the path just above the city that allegedly inspired the philosophers of old. The path offers fabulous views and is often described as ‘peaceful, romantic and beautiful, a place to commune with nature’.
