romance
Heidelberg experienced a second heyday at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1803 the university was renewed.

When visiting the old town, it is therefore advisable to follow the parking guidance system to one of the numerous parking garages. However, these are busy on Saturdays during shopping time and on Saturdays in the early evening during cinema time and may require some waiting time.
You can also drive to the castle. When there is a lot of traffic, however, the entire Schlossberg is often closed. The few parking spaces and authorized parking spaces are located above the castle and are chargeable during the day. A walk of approx. 10 minutes through the castle garden including climbing the stairs must then be accepted. Recommended: Alternatively, you can park the car in one of the parking garages in the city center and the castle with the cable railway (included in the entrance fee for the castle) or on foot (if you are in good physical condition,> 300 steps).
