{{Heidelberg}}

'''Heidelberg''' is a German city with many touristic attractions. It is in the German state [[Baden-Württemberg]] and is in the [[Rhein-Neckar-Kreis]], a region about 60 km around Heidelberg.

Near bigger cities in the circle of 60 km are [[Mannheim]], [[Ludwigshafen]], [[Schwetzingen]], [[Speyer]], [[Weinheim]], [[Mosbach]] and [[Bruchsal]]. The next big cities are [[Frankfurt]], [[Karlsruhe]] and [[Stuttgart]]. They are all reachable in an hour by car.

==Hospitality Networks==

* Heidelberg has quite active [http://www.couchsurfing.org/group.html?gid=3090 CouchSurfing Group].
* There is a [http://www.bewelcome.org/groups/734 BeWelcome-Group].

==Sight Seeing==

You can do the Heidelberg Walk which covers almost everything important sight-seeing wise in one day, but which can be extended to last a bit longer.

In short for your favorite routing program:

* Hauptbahnhof
* Uferstraße
* Ladenburger Straße
* Philosophenweg
* Schlangenweg
* Alte Brücke
* Altstadt (including Untere Straße)
* kurzer Buckel (steps up to the Schloss)
* Himmelsleiter (up to the Königsstuhl)
* and back to the Hauptbahnhof

in google-maps: http://g.co/maps/hbygj

=== Extensions ===

You could walk through Handschusheim and visit the Tiefburg. From there you could walk up the Heiligen Berg and maybe find the Thingstädte and some ruins of a former monestary. Then make your way back down to Philosophenweg visiting the Bismarck Tower and enjoy the view over the Altstadt. Within the Altstadt you can explore the small alleys and spend a few hours doing touristy stuff. Once up on the Schloss, you can visit the Great Barrell and maybe join a guided tour around the castle. If you don't feel like sweating or hiking at that point, just leave the Königsstuhl out. But if you do, do it, you will find the nicest view over Heidelberg up there :)

=== Things to do/see beside the Altstadt ===
Heidelberg is an amazing place to visit but too often people restrict their travel to the Altstadt and
Castle. If you are feeling ambitious, I highly recommend a hike up the Heiligenberg. On this mountain
you will find both monastery ruins and amazing views of the Altstadt.

Directions: Take the Old Bridge in the direction away from the Altstadt. Directly at the end of the old Bridge you will find directions to get to the Philosophenweg. Walk up to the Philosophenweg and from there, take any of the trails leading up the Heiligenberg.

== In Case of Trouble ==

Heidelberg is a pretty safe city but you never know. In the case of a fire break-out or general emergencies call 112, call 110 if you need police assistance. If someone gets hurt call an ambulance by dialing 19222.

These numbers should work from every cellular phone. If you don't have one look out for a phone booth or ask passers-by for help. Emergency calls don't cost anything. If you confuse the numbers it also shouldn't be a problem, you will be routed through. Please make sure to remember at least one of these numbers.

{{Heidelberg}}

'''Heidelberg''' is a German city with many touristic attractions. It is in the German state [[Baden-Württemberg]] and is in the [[Rhein-Neckar-Kreis]], a region about 60 km around Heidelberg.

Near bigger cities in the circle of 60 km are [[Mannheim]], [[Ludwigshafen]], [[Schwetzingen]], [[Speyer]], [[Weinheim]], [[Mosbach]] and [[Bruchsal]]. The next big cities are [[Frankfurt]], [[Karlsruhe]] and [[Stuttgart]]. They are all reachable in an hour by car.

==Hospitality Networks==

===Couchsurfing===

Heidelberg has quite active [http://www.couchsurfing.org/group.html?gid=3090 CouchSurfing Group].

===BeWelcome===

==Sight Seeing==

You can do the Heidelberg Walk which covers almost everything important sight-seeing wise in one day, but which can be extended to last a bit longer.

In short for your favorite routing program:

* Hauptbahnhof
* Uferstraße
* Ladenburger Straße
* Philosophenweg
* Schlangenweg
* Alte Brücke
* Altstadt (including Untere Straße)
* kurzer Buckel (steps up to the Schloss)
* Himmelsleiter (up to the Königsstuhl)
* and back to the Hauptbahnhof

in google-maps: http://g.co/maps/hbygj

=== Extensions ===

You could walk through Handschusheim and visit the Tiefburg. From there you could walk up the Heiligen Berg and maybe find the Thingstädte and some ruins of a former monestary. Then make your way back down to Philosophenweg visiting the Bismarck Tower and enjoy the view over the Altstadt. Within the Altstadt you can explore the small alleys and spend a few hours doing touristy stuff. Once up on the Schloss, you can visit the Great Barrell and maybe join a guided tour around the castle. If you don't feel like sweating or hiking at that point, just leave the Königsstuhl out. But if you do, do it, you will find the nicest view over Heidelberg up there :)

==Do==
See: [[100_things_to_do_in_Heidelberg|100 things to do in Heidelberg]]

== Getting to Heidelberg ==
=== By Train ===

Heidelberg's main station is a little bit outside of the city center (3 km) but well connected by trams and busses (check [http://www.vrn.de/ VRN] for local public transport). The station "Heidelberg Karlstor" is closer to the center and can be reached by the S-Bahn (commuter train). For tickets have a look at [http://www.bahn.de/ Deutsche Bahn].

=== By Plane ===

Mannheim is about 15 Kilometers far away from Heidelberg and has its own small City-Airport. Please lookup the Website of the [http://www.flugplatz.mannheim.de/ Mannheim-Airport] or lookup the [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/City-Airport_Mannheim Article in the Wikipedia (German)]. The Tram named OEG or number 5 is driving there regularly. Please check the[http://www.vrn.de/ VRN]-Website for a detailed timetable.

The following airports are in reasonable distance to Heidelberg:
* Frankfurt (FRA) - has good connection by train ([http://www.bahn.de/ Deutsche Bahn]) and also a [http://www.lufthansa-airportbus.de/strecken_heidelberg.html shuttle bus by Lufthansa]
* Frankfurt Hahn (HHN) - from there you can take a shuttle bus (18 €) offered by [http://hahn-express.de/ Hahn Express]
* Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden (FKB)
* Stuttgart (STR)

=== By Car ===
You can reach Heidelberg via the German Highways (Autobahn) A5, A656 and A6. The highways have direct exits or connections to Heidelberg.
Please keep our speedlimits in mind when you see the signs. In Germany we use Kilometer per hour (km/h). [http://www.sengpielaudio.com/ConvVeloc.htm Conversions of speed units]

=== Things to do/see beside the Altstadt ===
Heidelberg is an amazing place to visit but too often people restrict their travel to the Altstadt and
Castle. If you are feeling ambitious, I highly recommend a hike up the Heiligenberg. On this mountain
you will find both monastery ruins and amazing views of the Altstadt.

Directions: Take the Old Bridge in the direction away from the Altstadt. Directly at the end of the old Bridge you will find directions to get to the Philosophenweg. Walk up to the Philosophenweg and from there, take any of the trails leading up the Heiligenberg.

== In Case of Trouble ==

Heidelberg is a pretty safe city but you never know. In the case of a fire break-out or general emergencies call 112, call 110 if you need police assistance. If someone gets hurt call an ambulance by dialing 19222.

These numbers should work from every cellular phone. If you don't have one look out for a phone booth or ask passers-by for help. Emergency calls don't cost anything. If you confuse the numbers it also shouldn't be a problem, you will be routed through. Please make sure to remember at least one of these numbers.

Heidelberg

{{Germany}}
{{Heidelberg}}

'''Heidelberg''' is a German city with many touristic attractions. It is in the German state [[Baden-Württemberg]] and is in the [[Rhein-Neckar-Kreis]], a region about 60 km around Heidelberg.

Near bigger cities in the circle of 60 km are [[Mannheim]], [[Ludwigshafen]], [[Schwetzingen]], [[Speyer]], [[Weinheim]], [[Mosbach]] and [[Bruchsal]]. The next big cities are [[Frankfurt]], [[Karlsruhe]] and [[Stuttgart]]. They are all reachable in an hour by car.

==Hospitality Networks==

===Couchsurfing===

Heidelberg has quite active [http://www.couchsurfing.org/group.html?gid=3090 CouchSurfing Group].

===BeWelcome===

==Sight Seeing==

You can do the Heidelberg Walk which covers almost everything important sight-seeing wise in one day, but which can be extended to last a bit longer.

In short for your favorite routing program:

* Hauptbahnhof
* Uferstraße
* Ladenburger Straße
* Philosophenweg
* Schlangenweg
* Alte Brücke
* Altstadt (including Untere Straße)
* kurzer Buckel (steps up to the Schloss)
* Himmelsleiter (up to the Königsstuhl)
* and back to the Hauptbahnhof

in google-maps: http://g.co/maps/hbygj

=== Extensions ===

You could walk through Handschusheim and visit the Tiefburg. From there you could walk up the Heiligen Berg and maybe find the Thingstädte and some ruins of a former monestary. Then make your way back down to Philosophenweg visiting the Bismarck Tower and enjoy the view over the Altstadt. Within the Altstadt you can explore the small alleys and spend a few hours doing touristy stuff. Once up on the Schloss, you can visit the Great Barrell and maybe join a guided tour around the castle. If you don't feel like sweating or hiking at that point, just leave the Königsstuhl out. But if you do, do it, you will find the nicest view over Heidelberg up there :)

==Do==
See: [[100_things_to_do_in_Heidelberg|100 things to do in Heidelberg]]

== Getting to Heidelberg ==
=== By Train ===

Heidelberg's main station is a little bit outside of the city center (3 km) but well connected by trams and busses (check [http://www.vrn.de/ VRN] for local public transport). The station "Heidelberg Karlstor" is closer to the center and can be reached by the S-Bahn (commuter train). For tickets have a look at [http://www.bahn.de/ Deutsche Bahn].

=== By Plane ===

Mannheim is about 15 Kilometers far away from Heidelberg and has its own small City-Airport. Please lookup the Website of the [http://www.flugplatz.mannheim.de/ Mannheim-Airport] or lookup the [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/City-Airport_Mannheim Article in the Wikipedia (German)]. The Tram named OEG or number 5 is driving there regularly. Please check the[http://www.vrn.de/ VRN]-Website for a detailed timetable.

The following airports are in reasonable distance to Heidelberg:
* Frankfurt (FRA) - has good connection by train ([http://www.bahn.de/ Deutsche Bahn]) and also a [http://www.lufthansa-airportbus.de/strecken_heidelberg.html shuttle bus by Lufthansa]
* Frankfurt Hahn (HHN) - from there you can take a shuttle bus (18 €) offered by [http://hahn-express.de/ Hahn Express]
* Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden (FKB)
* Stuttgart (STR)

=== By Car ===
You can reach Heidelberg via the German Highways (Autobahn) A5, A656 and A6. The highways have direct exits or connections to Heidelberg.
Please keep our speedlimits in mind when you see the signs. In Germany we use Kilometer per hour (km/h). [http://www.sengpielaudio.com/ConvVeloc.htm Conversions of speed units]

* [http://heidelberg.de/servlet/PB/menu/1088101_l2/index.html English Version of the website from the city council]

=== Things to do/see beside the Altstadt ===
Heidelberg is an amazing place to visit but too often people restrict their travel to the Altstadt and
Castle. If you are feeling ambitious, I highly recommend a hike up the Heiligenberg. On this mountain
you will find both monastery ruins and amazing views of the Altstadt.

Directions: Take the Old Bridge in the direction away from the Altstadt. Directly at the end of the old Bridge you will find directions to get to the Philosophenweg. Walk up to the Philosophenweg and from there, take any of the trails leading up the Heiligenberg.
