Things To Do
Euro Trip
Germany is beautiful country, filled with multiple attractions, amazing food, and beer that will leave your taste buds asking for more. However, it is just one of many charming countries in Europe. We suggest Zurich, Amsterdam, Paris, Bruges, Prague, Salzburg, Nice or Venice. Luckily they are all a short flight, car ride, or train ride away. Let your adventurous side run wild!
Oktoberfest
Munich is home to the world’s premiere Oktoberfest celebration. However, you’ll find multiple cities across Germany celebrating this event with beer, food, fun outfits, and general festivity abound. The name Oktoberfest is deceiving, as it actually starts in September. Dates for 2020: September 19 to October 4. We will be in Cologne September 26th, taking in their version of the festivities.
Explore Haupstrasse and the Altstadt (Old Town) Heidelberg
Heidelberg's Hauptstrasse is the place to start exploring this beautiful city. On your adventure through the city, you will find unspoiled medieval architecture, splendid old churches, boutique shops, galleries, cafés, and restaurants.
Wine Festivals
Germany is known for the Oktoberfest but Autumn is also time for the wine harvest. There are many villages near Heidelberg with festivals and tasting tours available offering a bit of a different pace for those seeking something more relaxed.
Heidelberg Palace Tour
These romantic, world famous ruins, are a must see! Heidelberg Castle can be reached by the Bergbahn, a funicular railway running from the Kornmarkt, or via a 15-minute walk from the Aldstadt (Old Town)
Königstuhl - The King’s Seat
Just seven kilometers east of Heidelberg, the Königstuhl — or King's Seat — is a hill rising 567 meters with spectacular views as far as the Rhine Valley. Access to the summit, part of the Odenwald Mountains, is via the Heidelberg Mountain Railway, the same funicular railway that takes visitors to Heidelberg Castle
