A tour of the castle and its wonderful history is well worth the 7eur. There is even wine tasting inside where the old wine kegs are kept. It seems to be under a constant state of construction but that does not take away from its beauty. The garden is magnificent especially in spring. more

The old castle of Heidelberg is one of the most beautiful I've seen. It is a pity that much of it was destroyed over the centuries. Entrance fee was 3 Euros and the guided tour 4 Euros per person (as of April 2009). Highly recommended. Be sure to see the large barrel (220000 liter capacity). more

The schloss is a substantial ruin set high in the forested hills above Heidelberg. This also meant a 300 step climb from the carpark to the castle. The ruin is surrounded by what once was a moat and is now home to many squirrels. The walls with there many archways and windows tower three floors above you. We skipped the... more

There is a short but fairly steep walk upto the castle but it is definitely worth it! From the top you can see over the city, it is a lovely view. more

Actually I was impressed! Never seen like this before! The castle is amazing and everything looks great/ The nature, mountains, river and the view are perfect. If you are or going to Heidelberg- don't miss to see the castle! more

The best parts of the Schloss for us were the views of the river, Altstadt and Alte Brueke from the end of the terraced garden and the terrace inside the castle behind the buildings. The Castle itself is a series of buildings in different styles and the newest about 400 years old is very impressive. Interpretation was poor, with little... more

The castle and its gardens are a very nice place to visit, and I recommend it to everyone. However, the organisation is not that good (to say the least). We've been asked at the entrance whether we would like to have a guide. I didn't opt for it because I like to visit alone, not hurried up or/and bored in... more

The most interesting apsects of the Schloss Heidelberg are things you can see from simply paying admission to get into the place. The guided tour, albeit in English, gets you into a few fairly boring spots in the reconstructed wing of the castle...which isn't all that old or that interesting. Our guide spent a good part of the tour apologiziing... more
