Heidelberg Castle
The red sandstone castle ruins are Heidelberg’s main attraction and a symbol of German Romanticism. The crumbling walls rest on a tree-clad slope and grant panoramic views of the old town and the Neckar River below. A tour of the castle holds all kinds of treasures, from picturesque courtyards and oversized statues of emperors and kings to detailed façades and the world’s largest wine barrel.
