Local knowledge for Heidelberg
Where to stay
Most hostels sit in the Altstadt, within a short walk of Hauptstraße and Marktplatz, which keeps everything on foot. If you want a quieter base and sometimes lower rates, Neuenheim across the Alte Brücke is a residential area with an easy 10-minute walk back into the center.
Getting around
- The castle courtyard is free to enter. You only pay if you want the interior tour or the Deutsches Apothekenmuseum, so skip the ticket line if you just want the views.
- Wednesday and Saturday mornings, the Wochenmarkt on Marktplatz has cheap sandwiches and fresh food. It wraps up by early afternoon, so go before noon.
- Walk the Schlossberg path up from Kornmarkt instead of taking the Bergbahn funicular. It costs nothing and takes about 15 minutes.
When to go
November through March is when you will find the lowest hostel prices. July and August fill up fast, especially on weekends, when day-trippers from Frankfurt and Mannheim pack the Altstadt.
