Time Off
Home to Germany's oldest university, Heidelberg lies on the river Neckar, nestled in a landscape of thickly wooded rolling hills. The magnificent ruins of the thirteenth century neo-gothic castle above the town add to the fairy-tale setting that has inspired composers, poets and painters over the centuries. Writers Goethe and Mark Twain, the painter Turner and composers Schumann and Brahms have been captivated by Heidelberg's matchless landscape and culture.
There are more than a dozen museums, five theatres, a Philharmonic and a Symphony Orchestra. The town has an excellent choice of fascinating shops with browsing made easy on Germany's longest pedestrianized zone. In recent years Heidelberg has been at the international forefront in the fields of environmental protection, genetic engineering, and information technology. In 1996 the town was awarded Germany‘s top prize for nature preservation and environmental protection, and the following year it was presented with the "European Sustainable City Award".
