Overview
Heidelberg is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany and captivates visitors from all over the world. The unique location in the Neckar Valley, the historic old town, and the majestic castle ruin form a backdrop that already inspired the poets of Romanticism.
This premium tour in a small group starts at Karlsplatz. We start the day - after a short drive in the van - with the magnificent panorama from the Königstuhl mountain, enjoy the ride with the historic mountain railway to the castle, and immerse ourselves there in the historic Unpacked of the Middle Ages. Listen to romantic and entertaining legends and admire the imposing complex.
We will then take an interesting tour down to the old town and visit, among others, the Heiliggeistkirche, the Jesuit Church, the market square, and the Old Bridge. Here your tour ends with many new impressions.

This world's largest fillable wine barrel was made from 130 oak logs in the 18th century and holds over 219,000 litres of wine.
