If you're up at the Castle and you've already paid the admission to get in, okay, take a quick look. Unless you have some personal interest in pharmacy or chemistry, it's really not all that interesting. More

It's free entry and full of interesting-looking bottles and cupboards, but I found a quick stroll through it was all that was warranted. I don't think it's all that interesting unless you have a particular interest in the subject matter. More

The museum is situated in the Heidelberg Castle & it is worth the sideline. The old pharmacy bottles & counters are beautiful. Worth the visit More
