A 3-day city trip to Heidelberg for your group: the castle, the old town, the Philosophers' Walk and a cruise on the Neckar.

Home to Germany's oldest university, Heidelberg stretches along the Neckar beneath the red sandstone ruins of its castle. Your group explores the old town, crosses the Old Bridge and climbs up to the Philosophers' Walk to take in the whole city and castle at a glance. Upstream, the Neckar valley is lined with villages and hilltop castles, best discovered by boat.
