5.00A very interesting day. The castle has an amazing history and I enjoyed roaming around and checking out all the different nooks and crannies within its walls. Our guide, Michael, gave clear and detailed details as to the various historical periods portrayed by the different architecture. After the castle we went down to the old part and had time to roam the streets and the Christmas markets. I certainly enjoyed the day.
Worthwhile trip...

Heidelberg Castle Tour and Christmas Markets

5.00Our tour guide and driver Michael was extremely knowledgeable and provided an extensive history of Europe on the drive to Heidelberg. Once at Heidelberg Castle we had some free time for photos then a tour of the ruins, the apothecary museum which was fascinating and the giant wine barrel. After the Castle we were dropped off in the old town close to the Christmas markets. We found some delicious food at the market and then walked around the old town which is lovely. We went to a cafe with a great cake and biscuit shop for a cup of hot chocolate and apple strudel. All in all an excellent day out full of interesting information and architecture.
Worth the day out.
