Heidelberg Travel Forum

Group of lads coming over for the World Cup and staying the whole tournament in Neckermund just outside Heidelberg.A month is a long time and I wondered if any of you lovely people could let me know whats happening epecially of a nightime...

Bars, Clubs, Restaurants...

Whats it like to get into town from Neckermund and how much would a cab be ?

Will there be a big screen fan park in Heidelberg ?

A couple of years ago, we stayed at a nice, quaint hotel in Heidelberg, but I cannot remember the name. It was in the old part of town about one block north of Hauptstrasse on an alley/street. Walking north from Hauptstrasse, it was on the right, and you went thru an arch in a small parking lot. There was a restaurant inside to the right as you entered the door from the parking lot. It was about a 5-10 minute walk to the cablecar that went up to the castle. The rates were very reasonable. Can anybody help me with the name? Our room overlooked the parking lot which held perhaps 8 cars. Thank you.

Does anyone know of a listing of statues on the university campus? I know it's a long shot, but family lore says that one of our ancestors who taught there has a statue on the campus. I would like to visit in the summer of 2006 and would like to find the statue, if possible. I checked the university website and could not find an appropriate office to contact.

Hi,
Does anyone know of the
Sean Og Select Irish Pub and Hotel
Hauptstr. 93, 69117, Heidelberg, Germany?
I have found it mentioned several times online, however I cannot find booking information, a contact number, or if it really exists. ;-)
Thanks,
Kristina

We will be stationed at Heidelburg, but have to live off-base. What are the prices like for a 2 bedroom house or apt? Is there a store thats equal to a Wal-mart, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, etc?

Is there an official name for the Old Bridge and the Bridge Gate with the twin white towers or is that what they're really called? Also, what is the name of the church directly south of the Gridge Gate?

For anyone living in the Mannheim/Heidelberg area have you heard any feedback to compare the American high schools that I've found - Mannheim or Heidelberg? Or are there other options such as international schools in the area? I may be taking a job in that area this summer and haven't been able to find much literature on either school. Appreciate your response.

We are a couple who will move to Heidelberg on 30/7. Yet we don't have anywhere to stay, and are searching for a WG/room/apartment during our first month in Heidelberg. During this month we will study german and search for permanent accomodation.

Can anyone help us with temporary accomodation or tips? We are grateful for all help...

Best regards,
Mikael and Carolina

Hello, I am just wondering if there are any cyber cafes or places with public internet access in or near Heidelberg/Weinheim?

I will be in Weinheim for 10 days. I have tried "googling" but I can't find any information. The people we will be staying with tells me internet access is very expensive for them to use so I want to be able to rent some time in a cyber cafe! Thanks very much, Kat

Hello everybody!

We're going to spend 3 days in August in Heidelberg and I'm looking for a cheap hostel or backpackers hostels. Could anyone recommend me any? The one's I've found are too expensive.

We'd like also to visit by train interesting places near Heidelberg. Could anyone help us with some recommendations?

Thanks a lot for all your help!!

This may sound silly, but I'm wondering whether the Neckar River ever freezes over in the winter enough that it stops barge traffic. If so, is this a regular occurrance? Is the ice thick enough for people to walk on it? Thank you.

We are going from Heidelberg (First of July) to spend a night in Rothenberg. We will have some time to look around the area....a couple of days later we'll be headed South down the Romantic Road towards Munich....I was considering Nurenberg as a destination to check out...any other recommendations of things/places to see in that area??? Thanks...for any suggestions.

We're going to Heidelberg on a Sunday in July...I understand that the stores/shops are closed on Sunday...but are there restauraunts open? I'm not use to having things no open on Sunday....what should I know??? Thanks.

Anyone know where I can pick up a University of Heidelberg t-shirt? Is it only available at the campus bookstore? Or are there stores in Aldstat area that sell them?

how much are they?

Thanks!

Since four of us are travelling together, it seems like our easiest mode of transport from Frankfurt airport to Heidelberg after our long flight is an Airport Shuttle Service. It appears there are two, TLS & HLS. Any recommendation?

I am spending some time in Munich this July, and would like to spend 2 nights in Heidelberg and then return to Munich. Does anyone know what the cheapest return ticket from Munich to Heidelberg would be? I am prepared to take a longer trip to get there on a bus but have not been able to find any information on this. Any help would be appreciated- thanks!

How many hours is it to travel from Munich to Heidelberg by car?

We are spending a few days in Heidelberg in May. Besides the usual castle & walks, we'd like to take a tour down the river (I guess the Neckar since it's closest & we have no car). Any recommended boat tour to see some castles, maybe get off in another location & we could take a train back if that makes more sense? We are staying near the Old Bridge. Any advice is appreciated since I've not been there since I was One year old (born there).
Thanks,
Rick

Hi,

I have 8 hours to spend in Heidelberg before I proceed to Munich. I probably will spend maybe a few hours at the castle (or none at all if it's not recommended?). What other attractions are a MUST-SEE? I'm open to spending a night over at Heidelberg if it's really good! :)

Please help! Thanks! :)

Is Heidelberg a day trip from Munich? If so, in which direction (towards Salzburg)?

Thanks.

Hi, we will be stopping in Heidelberg for a couple of hours and was wondering of theres a place at the train station where we can leave our luggage. What are the rates and what time do they close? Thanks.

My wife and I are renting a car for the first few days we are in Germany.....We are driving to Heidelberg the first Sunday in July....Where would anyone recommend that we park...I assume the earlier we get there the better...Thanks for any help.

Q: My wife and I are traveling to Germany the first half of July. We are staying for the first week in a town close to Heidleberg. We want to make a day trip on the Rhine River. I read the section just south of Koblenz was the most interesting section of the Rhine. We are renting a car for the first week, so want to have a plan on where to jump on a boat and where to get off. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

hallo everyone! my name is Nana and i will travel in May in Heidelberg. Can anyone recommend any cheap accomodation with information about it? thanks a lot in advance.

What can I do in Heidelberg at 6'th of February until )'th of February 2005.Just in tree days.Is there any idea?

I will be visiting Germany in January. Is there anything special (concerts, plays, conventions, etc...) going on in Heidelberg in early January?

Thanks

I'll be backpacking in Europe with a couple college buddies of mine during thanksgiving and Heidelberg is one of those cities we definetly want to see due to its survival of WWII. Anyways, we'll land in Frankfurt on Friday morning and will take the train or bus to Heidelberg around noon. We'll meet with a friend from Heidelberg and probably stay there till Sunday evening as we want to travel during the night to Milan. I guess my question is, what can we do in Heidelberg other than the castle, shopping street and the riverside? I'm guessing there will be a lot of bars and clubs as it's a college town so basically I just need your recommendations.

Thanks :)

My husband is in the military and we just found out we will be moving to Heidelberg soon. I was wondering if anyone could give me any information on the area (not just tourist attractions) and possibly some travel times to other places in Europe.

Hi!
I will be traveling to Heidelberg soon and I am wondering if anyone has advice reguarding resturants and shops that are interesting or good. Thank you.

Is it worth going to Heidelberg for a daytrip out of Frankfurt ?
Anything special to see nowadays ? or especially next weekend ?

Any advice can help, thanks !!
