Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to sightsee around Heidelberg within walking distance of the moorings for the River Cruise boats. We shall be there in August on the MS Heinrich Heine.

Hi....we would like to pick up a rental car in Heidelberg and then travel down the Romantic Road to Fussen over the course of 4 days. Can anyone advise us as to who may rent cars in this area. Keep in mind that we need to return the car to a location different than where we picked it up. Ideally this would be near Fussen or Kempten. Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Hi!

Is it a good idea to come to Heidelberg from Bonn or from Stuttgart?

If one is on one's own, are there any group tours around the city?

Looking forward you your replies...Thank you!

My wife and I are visiting Heidelberg for a weekend at the end of April.
We will there on a Sunday morning and will have to leave about 3 pm.
Often Sundays can be a bit wasted, especially if returning home.
We try to avoid this.
Any suggestion as for something interesting to do on the Sunday morning i.e.
A half day river cruise
A half day coach tour
Other ideas welcome

Hello, Heidelberg area VTrs. I am in a big dilemma. The person who normally takes care of our Lahsa Apso when we travel will not be able to watch her on our next trip (23-26 May).

Does anybody know know of someone or a pet boarding/kennel in and around Heidelberg, who can take a 3 yr old, 20-lb, very friendly and house broken female dog? I will truly appreciate any recommendation.

Thank you.

Our flight leaves Frankfurt on Tuesday 22nd July and we thought we would spend say two nights in Heidelberg before we leave. Have been looking at hotels, close to the Railway station. Several hotels which have appealed were not available on those dates. Have narrowed the choice down to Hotelo Heidelberg which is reasonably priced but am open to other suggestions. Has anyone stayed at this hotel recently? We do not necessarily need to be close to the station, but as we will not have a car we need to be fairly central.

Hi,

I heard it is a beautiful city over there...
:)

Thanks!

Hi there,

I'll be spending two weeks in Heidelberg to take a German language course and enjoy the sights...I'll certainly sample the nightlife as well while I'm there, but since I'm in my thirties I don't want to end up in places where practically everyone there is a teenager : )

Do you know of any particularly good bars or clubs which are geared more toward the 25+ crowd and are good places to mix with the locals? Basically I'm open to anything other than blaring discotheques which feature deafening rap music etc.

Danke!

Hi, im moving from ireland to heidelberg for around a year at start of september and really want to get some accomodation sorted for when i get there. i was wondering if anyone had any information on where to look, etc. The problem i do have is that i dont speak german (yet) and find it hard to look for places on the net through search engines.
Also will be looking for a job so if you've heard of any vacancies anywhere in heidelberg please let me know, i'll be looking for a job the min i arrive!
Any help is greatly appreciated :D

There is a building right next to the Old University, it s on the left of the Old University when you are facing the Old University. I wonder what that building is? any information would be appreciated.

thanks

Can anyone tell me if this restaurant still exists (I think it's near the library close to the Bismarckplatz?) and if it's a good restaurant?

Thanks.

Hello all!

Am coming home to Germany to visit my family, and would also like to "mingle with the crowds" on 1 or 2 nights :-) When I left Germany I was still to young (18) to really go to any of the clubs... so it's "catch-up-time" ;-)))
Could you recommend some for me?

(Some of the nightlife tips here on VT are a little bit old, so I wanted to make sure that these bars/clubs are still there, for example "Nachtschicht" and "Eckstein"?)

Basically looking for a place that's relaxed, good music (70s, 80s, rock and pop and house) for dancing and fun times.

Thanks so much in advance!

Hello, Myself and three friends will be travelling in a full circle round germany in our motorhome for 2 weeks during the world cup. I have seen pictures of this part of the country online and would really love to stay there. Up to now I have only found one campsite in Heidelburg but they have yet to contact me. Any recommendations?
