Heidelberg Guide 2026

Heidelberg is a university city on the Neckar river in south-west Germany. With a ruined castle on the hill, a stone bridge over the river and a baroque old town, it is one of the most photographed towns in the country.

What to see in Heidelberg

  • Heidelberg Castle: a partly ruined castle on the hill, looking down on the old town.
  • The Old Bridge (Alte Brücke): the stone bridge across the Neckar.
  • Hauptstraße: a long pedestrian street through the old town, lined with cafes and shops.
  • Heidelberg University: founded in 1386, the oldest university in Germany.

When to go

July and August average a high of 27 degrees. March is the driest month, with 55 millimetres of rain. January averages 6 degrees by day and 1 at night. From late April to September the riverbank and the castle gardens are easy to enjoy.

Getting there from Turkey

In MBD's Dream Triangle programme, Heidelberg shares a day with Baden-Baden, and it is also in the Christmas market tours. Departures include Ankara, and the programme runs 3 to 4 nights. Dates and prices are on the tour page.

Who it suits

Travellers who like to see history and architecture on foot, photographers, and anyone planning a first trip to Germany. The castle slope and cobblestones can be tiring if walking is hard for you.

Questions people ask

How long do I need? Half a day covers the old town and the castle.

Where can I stay? MBD lists Heidelberg Marriott Hotel, Leonardo Hotel Heidelberg, Leonardo Hotel Heidelberg City Center and Aparthotel Adagio Heidelberg, all 4-star.

Which city is paired with it? In the tours, Baden-Baden, on the same day.
