Heidelberg Castle

Heidelberg Castle (German: Heidelberger Schloss) is a famous ruin in Germany and landmark of Heidelberg. The castle ruins are among the most important Renaissance structures north of the Alps.

The oldest part of the city, the Altstadt sits just below the Schloss. It extends along the river for a mile, with Karlstor on one end, and Bismarckplatz on the other.In between, is a wonderful combination of old and new buildings, narrow streets, market squares, arts, history, science, shopping, eating and relaxing.

Set in an ornate, late-Renaissance mansion built by a Huguenot cloth merchant in 1592, Hotel zum Ritter St Georg’s cheaper rooms are an anticlimax after the opulent facade, but the spacious Superior (28 sq m) and De Luxe (35 sq m) rooms.

Heidelberg studentkiss

19th century Fridolin Knösel, chocolatier and master confectioner, invented the famous Heidelberg studentkiss – a type of chocolate confectionery that a student presented to the object of his affection many years ago.

Heidelberg’s Christmas Market is located at a total of six different sites throughout the Old City. Located at the entrance to the Old City, Bismarckplatz with its Advent flair is an ideal starting point of the Heidelberg Christmas Market.
