Heidelberg: Old Town Guided Tour with a Local Student

Discover Heidelberg's Old Town on a guided tour with a student guide. Learn about the city's history, student life, and hidden gems as you explore the Hauptstraße, Karlsplatz, Kornmarkt, and more.
Meet your guide at Neckarmünzplatz, in front of the Tourist Information, and head into the Old Town. Walk along Germany's longest pedestrian street, Hauptstraße, and see the old student taverns and the merchant's house that survived the French fires.

Stop at Karlsplatz for the best view of the castle, the "most romantic ruin" in Germany, burned by the French and struck by lightning. Continue to Kornmarkt, a square built over a vanished hospital, with some 800 graves beneath your feet and a Madonna put up as a provocation.

See the town hall and the Hercules fountain, the city's protector, at Marktplatz. Visit the Church of the Holy Spirit, once split down the middle by a wall between two faiths, and home of the famous Palatine Library.

Admire the flood marks, river views, and the Bridge Monkey, with three things to touch for luck, at the Old Bridge. Learn about the Student Prison, where students were locked up for rowdiness or skipping lectures until 1914, and treated it as a badge of honor.

Finally, arrive at University Square, Germany's oldest university, founded in 1386 and linked to 56 Nobel Prizes, where the tour ends with its biggest story.
