Service Description

Heidelberg, a romantic city nestled in the southwestern region of Germany along the Neckar River, has captured hearts and imaginations for over 800 years. Surrounded by the lush Odenwald forest, the city enjoys a temperate climate with average summer temperatures of 20°C (68°F) and winter temperatures around 3°C (37°F), making it pleasant to visit year-round. The landscape is dominated by the majestic Heidelberg Castle perched on the Königstuhl hill, overlooking a picturesque valley where the medieval Old Town (Altstadt) stretches along the riverbank. The city's history stretches back to 1196, when it first emerged as a small settlement under the protection of the mighty Castle. Throughout centuries of prosperity, wars, and renaissance, Heidelberg has maintained its status as a beacon of intellectual and cultural achievement. In 1386, the establishment of Heidelberg University - Germany's oldest university - transformed the city into a renowned center of learning that continues to attract scholars from around the world. On our virtual walking tour, we'll discover, live, the enchanting Old Town of Heidelberg. Let's explore the cobblestone streets that have witnessed centuries of history, from the medieval Market Square (Marktplatz) with its beautiful Renaissance town hall to the historic student prison that tells tales of university life from centuries past.

As we walk through this living museum, we'll uncover the fascinating story of the 1848 revolution that led to the first major wave of German immigration to America, forever connecting Heidelberg to the New World.
