First enjoy a comfortable bus tour with a certified guide, where you will learn more about the history of the city. Enjoy an unobstructed view of the spectacular Heidelberg Castle.
Then, visit the grounds of Heidelberg Palace and admire its beauty up close. See the elegant inner courtyard and the famous Great Heidelberg Tun (wine barrel.) After exploring the castle, ride the funicular railway back to the Old Town (We would like to inform you that the funicular to the castle will be out of service between October 7 and probably November 11, 2024 due to construction work.
Alternatively, there is the footpath (approx. 10 - 15 minutes' walk over cobblestones and partly steeply downhill) back to the Old Town.).
