Heidelberg Essentials

Heidelberg’s historic center features a blend of Baroque and Gothic architecture, centered around the Marktplatz and the Church of the Holy Spirit. The city’s academic legacy is preserved in the Old University and the unique Student Prison, while the Kurpfälzisches Museum houses regional art and archaeology. Spanning the Neckar River, the 18th-century Old Bridge provides a connection to the Altstadt. Above the main castle complex, the ruins of the Obere Burg offer a glimpse into the city's medieval fortifications.
