  • Beautiful sculpture. But I could not find any info anywhere about it. I did not quite understand why that image was there and what the meaning was. A information sign in the neighbourhood would have been nice. The bridge also lovely though! Cool view over the water and city.

Where to stay in Heidelberg

Most of the city's lodging is centralized near Altstadt, the Old Town. Here cafes, shops, and tourist sites line the cobbled streets. Many of the guesthouses here work hard to retain the area's historical feel.
