Best Heidelberg Castle Day Trips & Things to Do

One of Germany’s most famous ruins is this imposing castle set amid woodlands and perched above one of its loveliest towns. Heidelberg Castle is considered one of the most romantic spots in Germany due to its lofty position over Heidelberg’s storied Altsatdt (Old Town). The Renaissance red-sandstone castle’s central courtyard is surrounded by breathtaking buildings and the views of the Altstadt and Neckar Valley below from the castle’s terrace are equally staggering.
