Day 07 - Speyer, Germany

Panoramic Heidelberg & Lunch with University Students

(Coming Soon!)

Tuesday - Panoramic Heidelberg

This is an all-day adventure. We are seeing the castle and old medieval town so steeped in romance that they stood at the center of the German Romantic movement. Join your guide for a drive to Heidelberg, several miles up the Neckar River. You will ascend to the majestic Heidelberg Castle, a treasure trove of striking Renaissance-era buildings. Originally built during the early 13th century, it was the residence of the Palatinate monarchy through the 18th century. Descend into the Altstadt, or Old Town, for a walking tour toward the turreted Heidelberg University. Founded in 1386, it is Germany’s oldest.
