Heidelberg

Two-day rail break to Heidelberg's castle ruins and old university city

Illustration of Heidelberg

railtour suisse offers this Heidelberg package as a two-day, one-night rail trip to a German city built on a river and ringed by mountains, forests and vineyards. Heidelberg is best known for the castle ruins that overlook the old town and for having Germany's oldest university, which shapes the atmosphere of the streets around it. The evening scene includes old-town student bars serving Baden wine and street-side restaurants for ice cream. This package suits an independent traveler who wants a short, self-directed city stop rather than a long escorted tour; railtour suisse does not publish a day-by-day plan or name a hotel for this listing.
