At Heidelberger Schloss, you will explore one of Germany’s most iconic castle ruins, set high above Heidelberg with breathtaking views over the Old Town and the Neckar River valley. Walk through the historic castle grounds and discover centuries of history, from medieval foundations to Renaissance architecture. You will see the impressive inner courtyard, the famous Great Barrel (one of the largest wine barrels in the world), and beautifully maintained castle gardens. From the panoramic terraces, enjoy stunning views over the red-roofed city below—one of the best photo spots in Heidelberg and a highlight of the entire journey.

At Heiliggeistkirche, you will visit the most famous church in Heidelberg, located right in the heart of the Old Town on the bustling Hauptstraße. You will admire its impressive Gothic architecture, high vaulted ceilings, and beautiful stone interior. From inside, you can experience the peaceful atmosphere and learn about its fascinating history as both a Catholic and Protestant church over the centuries. If you choose to climb the tower, you will be rewarded with panoramic views over Heidelberg’s Old Town, the Neckar River, and the surrounding hills—making it a perfect spot for unforgettable photos and a true highlight of the city visit.

Old Bridge Heidelberg

At Old Bridge Heidelberg (Alte Brücke), you will experience one of the most iconic landmarks of Heidelberg, connecting the Old Town with the Neckar riverbanks. You will walk across this historic stone bridge while enjoying beautiful views of the castle above, the colourful Old Town, and the calm flow of the Neckar River. The bridge is known for its classic red sandstone design, charming statues, and romantic atmosphere. It is also one of the best photo spots in Heidelberg, where you can capture stunning panoramic shots of the castle, river, and city skyline all in one view.

St. Jakobskirche

At St. Jakobskirche in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, you will visit one of the most important Gothic churches in the town, located directly at the historic Kirchplatz. You will explore the beautifully detailed interior, featuring high vaulted ceilings, impressive stained glass windows, and richly carved altars that reflect centuries of craftsmanship and religious history. One of the highlights is the famous Holy Blood Altar by Tilman Riemenschneider, considered a masterpiece of late Gothic art. From outside, the church stands as a striking landmark in the medieval townscape, and it offers a peaceful atmosphere in the heart of Rothenburg’s charming old streets.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber historic old town
