This quaint German city sits on the banks of the River Neckar in the southwest of the country. This scenic city is a part of real Germany, as opposed to the more tourist driven cities of the country.

There are lots of things to see and do in the city, but you will need a Car Hire Heidelberg vehicle to manage your time more effectively.

The old part of the city is filled with cobbled streets, and a walk down the main streets of Bismarckplatz and Hauptstrasse is where you will find the best shopping.

The Baroque architecture of the Universitätsplatz (old university) is very pleasing on the eye, and the designs will leave you wanting more.

The Alte Brücke (old bridge) and the Brückentor (Bridge gate), are favourite places to visit for tourists. These picturesque constructions are more than worth a visit.

There are some really interesting markets to see when visiting this old city. Take your Car Hire Heidelberg vehicle to Neuenheim Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays and you will find some unique local products and handicrafts.

So, enjoy your time in south-western Germany, because it really is unique.
