• Old Bridge (Karl Theodor Bridge) - The journey begins at the Old Bridge, a significant landmark at the medieval gate leading to the charming town. It spans the Neckar River, linking the historic skyline with lush green landscapes, and offers numerous fantastic viewpoints. The stonework and its exquisite sculptures are part of its rich history: it was destroyed by the German Nazis just days before the end of World War II.
• Heidelberger Altstadt - After passing through the enchanting gate, visitors enter a world of Baroque architecture with a touch of classicism, starting at Stone Valley Street. On both sides of the narrow cobbled lane, lively cafes, eateries, and small shops nestle between quaint buildings, creating a cozy and joyful atmosphere!
• Church of the Holy Spirit - At the end of the vibrant street stands the impressive Church of the Holy Spirit, showcasing Gothic and Baroque architecture. Interestingly, outside the grand façade of the church are colorful souvenir shops nestled in its niches, a tradition from medieval times.
• Heidelberger Marktplatz - Next, explore the delightful Market Square. Beautiful old buildings, including the church and the Town Hall, surround the magnificent Hercules Fountain. Today, the central square hosts many restaurants and cafes with charming outdoor seating and a lively weekly market, especially the renowned Heidelberg Christmas Market. However, centuries ago, public trials were held here where heretics and witches were executed.
• Kornmarkt - Take a few steps to another beautiful yet quieter square to the south: the Kornmarkt. This lovely square, located not far from Heidelberg Castle, offers one of the best views of the majestic castle and provides stunning backgrounds for souvenir photos.
• Hauptstraße - Then, return to Hauptstraße, the largest pedestrian street and shopping hub of the historic town. Luxury international fashion brands alternate with quaint traditional shops and historic buildings, offering a wonderful opportunity to combine window shopping and sightseeing.
• Heidelberg Old Synagogue Memorial - Head back to the riverfront where the Old Synagogue Memorial shares poignant stories about the Jewish community that once thrived in Heidelberg. The memorial square, built on the foundation of the old synagogue destroyed by the Nazis, features name plaques of the victims and the outline of the synagogue’s walls in white marble.
• Heidelberger Marstall - Pass by the Marstall complex, just a short distance away, one of Heidelberg’s few medieval buildings. The picturesque riverside location of the castle-like building resembles a Disney scene, where the tour allows for leisurely strolls or relaxing on comfortable benches along the scenic river.
