Heidelberg, Germany
In late May, I took a Viking River Cruise along the Rhine River and absolutely loved the experience. Each day, we stopped in a small quaint European town and I've written about many of the stops already – artsy Basel, medieval Colmar, quaint Dutch windmills and pretty German castles on the Rhine.
Heidelberg is often called one of the most romantic towns in Germany. It's colorful alleyways, vibrant university population and prime location on the river all contribute to it's charm. Most first time visitors will make it a point to tour the Old Town below and venture up to Heidelberg Castle.
In this post, I've summarized all the top things to do in Heidelberg with just a day!
