Heidelberg Castle
Heidelberg Castle is a practical stop: the castle ruin above the river is the visit the town is built around. Take the funicular or walk up, and buy the courtyard ticket.
Old Bridge
Old Bridge is a practical stop: the stone bridge is the walk between the old town and the far bank. Cross it, look at the castle, then decide whether to climb.
No booking needed
Heidelberg University
Heidelberg University is a practical stop: the old university quarter is the walk along the main street under the castle. Look into the courtyards that are open and keep moving.
Studentenkarzer
Studentenkarzer is a practical stop: the student prison is a small, odd interior on the university lane. It is a short stop. Do not build the day around it.
Philosophenweg
Philosophenweg is a practical stop: the path on the far hill is the view back at the castle and the old roofs. Cross the bridge and walk up. The climb is the point.
No booking needed
Königstuhl
Königstuhl is a practical stop: the hill station above the castle is the wider view when the weather is clear. Take the funicular all the way and check the last car down.
No booking needed
Zum Roten Ochsen
Zum Roten Ochsen is a practical stop: the historic tavern is the long table in the old town. Go early or reserve; the room has been full for a long time.
No booking needed
Kulturbrauerei Heidelberg
Kulturbrauerei Heidelberg is a practical stop: the brewery restaurant is the easier meal near the river. Sit outside if you want the evening and inside if you want quiet.
No booking needed
Café Knösel
Café Knösel is a practical stop: the cafe on the main street is the student chocolate and coffee stop. Have it between the bridge and the university, not as a meal.
