Heidelberg is home to Germany's oldest university and a city whose beauty has inspired many great artists, composers and writers, from William Turner to Johann Goethe. This cozy old town can be the ideal place for a romantic trip: the majestic Heidelberg Castle overlooking the Neckar River, the old town with cobbled streets and Baroque buildings, many museums and theaters. Heidelberg hosts a variety of festivals throughout the year, such as theater days and jazz concerts in October and the Mannheim-Heidelberg International Film Festival in November.
