Amit GaharwarMarch 8, 2015Scenic views of Heidelberg. Take Bus # 33 from HbF or Bismarckplatz and get down at Rathaus/Bergbahn. Take the funicular and get down at first station (Schloss).Upvote17Downvote

ConnorJuly 7, 2015A battle torn castle that you can walk through. Not like Neuschwanstein were you see the perfectly preserved rooms. Very cool to walk through. Pharmacy Museum inside is really cool.Upvote11Downvote

Eduardo RodriguesApril 13, 2018If you go to Heidelberg you must visit the castle, no question here. If you visit the castle, go for a guided tour - also no question here.

AliJuly 12, 2017Much of the castle is only accessible after hiring a tour guide. But it's still worth a visit. The view from up there is breathtaking.

Tania M PollokSeptember 6, 2014When you're in town check to see if there's a Schlossbeleuchtung during your stay, like tonight. It's worth watching from the other side of the Neckar or the castle garden.Upvote2Downvote

Yuri IchijōDecember 19, 2015I wasn't impressed... the castle itself is ruins, and most of them rather bleak except for one house front. There is an apothecary museum, but besides that only restaurants and a souvenir shop.UpvoteDownvote
