I just arrived home from a 4-day trip to Heidelberg. I immediately fell in love with the city
Ah how nice hope you had a good trip. Such a nice city.
Oh, my God, I live in that Paradies and still can't believe it.. The best place in the world..
I lived there for four years, and I absolutely loved it. HD is my favorite "Kleinstadt" in the whole world. I'd recommend crossing the river and following the signs to the Philosophenweg, the philosopher's walk. It's a paved trail across the river from the castle that affords stunning views of the Altstadt and a simultaneous stroll between manicured garden plots, with a huge, stone amphitheater atop one of the hills on the west end that was built just before WWII. The acoustics are fabulous. Speaking of WWII, Heidelberg's beauty can be traced back to the fact that a group of locals negotiated the surrender of the city to the Allies without any shots being fired, and allied bombs never touched the city, so the old buildings are originals, not replicas.
Hello, thanks for the lovely comment and interesting info and ideas. I can tell you have a real soft spot for Heidelberg! Would love to go back sometime probably Christmas and experience the market and snowy weather. :)
Awesome description
Neckargemünd is a Kleinstadt Heidelberg on the Other Hand isnt really.
It does look a great city
My family and I just moved to Germany because my dad is in the army, and we will visit here tomorrow. Thank you for the recommendations on where to visit!
Have a lovely day 😊
My hometown since 34 years ❤❤💯 thanks for the Video.
What a lovely place you live! Merry Christmas
Thank you. Merry Chritmas
I was there in 2002 to 2003, courtesy of the US Army. I was a US Army officer stationed at USAREUR Headquarters which was at Campbell Barracks. As I understand it, ALL of the US Army installations in Heidelberg are now gone which is sad. Heidelberg is a GREAT town to be stationed in. When talking about the Neckar River, you didn't mention how, on hot summer days, you can see the young German women sunbathing topless on the banks of the river.
I remember my wife whenever I see Heidelberg. 💚😍🥂
Glad it stirs memories for you, it is a beautiful place!
I lived in Germany in 76,77,78 and spent weekends there. I saw burning of the castle several times. The Golden Dragon across from the big church was my favorite place to eat, I wonder if its still there.
I really want to visit Heidelberg.😍
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation and nice video.
Hello thank you liked the visit, such a beautiful place. I would like to go back at Christmas for the markets and maybe some snow!
Great video!! me and my wife just visited and we had no idea we walked into the largest wine barrel in the world and the longest shopping street in Europe. Loved hiedelberg it was a pleasantly stunning!
Hello there, glad you had a great visit and learnt a few extra things from our guide :)
Esta ciudad es muy encantadora, espero poder ir cuando todo esto pase. Ver y compartir lugares como estos es por lo que me gusta viajar y hacer videos!
¡Me alegra que lo hayas disfrutado y espero que visites algún día! continúe con sus aventuras de viaje y comparta con otros. ¡Todos encontramos cosas nuevas al compartir nuestras experiencias!
I was there twice for a few days.
It was in 1975 and 1976.
I still remember it well !
But I did'nt visit all possible !
I later came back in 1977, 1979, 1980, 1981 but only for some hours ! Even in 1986 for a Day.
So about 11 French family members and friends saw Heidelberg..
All enjoyed the different visits !
I definitely need to come back once again !
It is one of those places you can visit, time and time again. We would love to come back at Christmas with the snow. I think that would be amazing.
I have seen the place the historical building so amazing. the castlle in Heidelberg where I found awesome architecture design .❤❤❤ i love the place , it was a treasured moment to see Heidelberg, Germany.🕊
Great video mate, really informative. Cant wait to visit Heidelberg in a few months.
Hey, thanks for the comment and glad it was helpful for you. Enjoy Heidelberg 😊
Thank you for the nice video, I am living in Heidelberg since a long time and still enjoy it. I think that the event at the Neckar that you filmed was last year's "Sommer am Fluss" ("summer at the river") 😉. Normally cars will drive on that street. Not that anyone will be desperately searching for the food stalls 😉.
Daniela, thank you for the lovely comment and updating us street market! I think it probably was that event I was there early August. Would love to come back for a Christmas market some time when we can travel again!
tolles Video!!!!
Really nice video, thank you so much.
Glad you liked it!
Great video, amazing work! Thank you for sharing, it showed very useful 😄

Heidelberg, Beautiful historical place. I have been there twice but I forgot to touch the Monkey last time Big walk up the steep hill to the castle
A reason to go back again!
really great, thanks for sharing, we were also two days ago in Heidelberg, felt like we really need to see this place. It was amazing, we also recorded a vlog out of this tour, not as professional as yours but still we tried our luck ;-)
I was there. I love everything there
Love your videos! Would love to see you do one in aaWiesbaden and the Kurpark.
Maybe one day! Thank you for watching.
I was 5 yrs old when I was there in 82 -85
Do you remember might of it?
@@MemorySeekers alittle but in tht where I lived got turned back to the Germans aka pack triage Henry village und it was west Germany when I lived in Heidelberg Germany cause I come from a military family und my dad served in the US Air force
Wunderbar, ihr wart in meiner Heimat🥰🇩🇪Tolles Video, vielen lieben 💖Dank👍🤗
Ich hoffe, wir haben einen guten Job für Sie und die Stadt gemacht.
@@MemorySeekers Euer Job war ganz hervorragend, freue mich auf neue von Euch wunderschön in Szene gesetzte Spaziergänge mit so viel Liebe zum Detail und ganz hervorragenden Hintergrundinformationen.🙏🥰Und die deutschen Untertitel🤗🤗damit ich weiß um was es geht👍
Das ist gut zu hören. Ich würde gerne eines Tages zu Weihnachten für die Märkte und vielleicht etwas Schnee zurückkehren. Ich denke, es wäre magisch!
@@MemorySeekers das wäre wunderbar, leider ist der Schnee ❄️❄️nur noch in bestimmten Regionen in Deutschland , z.b. In Bayern , Erzgebirge zu finden.ich wohne im Ruhrgebiet, da ist Schnee leider selten.😒liebe grüße 🙋♀️
I just found this! We visited Heidelberg in June of 2007, and it's so wonderful to see the highlights again. I loved the apothecary room, and the giant wine casks. My Maternal Grandmother's grandfather, Johannes, was born in Heidelberg in 1835, but emigrated to the U.S., and died in New Jersey in 1904. I always wondered what it was like when he lived there. Our entire trip to Germany was great. The only downside was that the water cost more than the beer, and you often had to pay to use the bathroom. We So. Cal. folks need our ice water on a hot day. :)
Heidelberg was a very pleasant surprise when I visited a few years back. It was a bit of a stopover on a trip I was doing and had no real idea how wonderful it would turn out. Love to heard back at Christmas I think it would be enchanting in the snow! What a wonderful connection you have to the city!
The water in the USVI was more expensive than their beer.
Cali folk are all woke.
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks so much! I am planning a visit to Heidelberg soon. It will fall on a Sunday. Is there enough buzz on a Sunday and are shops and restaurants open? Any specific activity or recommendation for a Sunday visit?
It's the best city in Germany!!!
😊👍
Большое спасибо. Завтра поеду . С Бельгии
You missed the 2 most beautifull views over Heidelberg from "Scheffelterasse" and "Philosophenweg" ;)
Yes we probably did, just ran out of time 😊
BONITA DEMAIS. .....🇩🇪💖💖💖💖🇧🇷👋👋👋👋👍👍🇩🇪💖💖🇧🇷
I have very God memoris in hayderberg I'm from Balkan Serbia
2 Questions for you -
1. I presume from the video that you did not take the audio guide tour for the Palace. If so, why? Sure, the castle looks huge and there must be a lot to explore otherwise, but is the audio guide worth it or is it better to explore on our own?
P.S. - I am fond of views from such heights and would love to fill up my camera memory with them.
2. I am planning a 1 day trip to the town, will it be possible to cover it all?
Hello, I don't generally take the audio guide as it's hard to hold that and film at the same time. It also slows you down if you are short of time. I only spent 2 hours at the castle but you can easily spend the day there. I arrived the night before and had just one full day to show you everything I did. So it can be done in day but it might not be that relaxed if you plan to tick it all off. Hope that helps.
I have been in Heidelberg many times ( i was Living close ) and i can assure you is almost impossible to do everything in one day, especially if you really want to go deep into the Altstadt and not just doing the " turistic thing ".
For example there is the philosophers way right in front of the Castle on the other side of the hill. From this point you can see all Altstadt ( old Town ) and is a very beautiful place. You can go even higher though and see a nice park where you have a wonderful view of the whole city and surrounding. But it takes you 1 hours to get there starting from the castle. So unless you don't wanna walk 6/7 hours straight is hard to see everything in one day.
The Place is called Bismarckturm. Is not a very turistic place but i think has one of the best views of the city.
What cafe did you visit after your visit to Heidelberg Castle? You had what looked like a delicious schnitzel salad.
Hi I am afraid I do not know its name. I tried to find it on the map but failed. I do know it was about half way along Hauptstraße.
I think it is Extrablatt.. it is the Schnitzel Caprese if I am not wrong.
It is Cafe Extrablatt. The red&white straw in the Cocktail is typical for Café Extrablatt.
And if you take a close look on the magazine next to the Cocktail you‘ll see the Café Extrablatt logo.
Greetings from my hometown Heidelberg. Your video of Heidelberg is really great.
Greetings and you are very welcome in Heidelberg again.
Thank you for sharing and finding out the name. Thanks for the lovely comment 😊
Can you buy advance tickets to castle so you don't have to queue for tickets?
No it does not appear you can, and will need to buy on the day.
4:21 "inhabitable" OR "UNinhabitable"???
Good spot "uninhabitable" glad you were listening. ☺
My family ancestors are from Southern Germany surname yost
The name Yost or Jost is celtic (bretonic), it means "Fight", and became popular in Germany in the early middle age by a man namend Joducus.
@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl yost is how we spell it
Did you find it hard getting around with english? I'm traveling there alone and speak no german,
I speak no German as well, you will be absolutely fine. They will speak English to you everywhere. Have a wonderful time!
