6Heidelberg
Famous for its university and stunning hilltop castle, Heidelberg is one of the most romantic cities in Germany. While larger than some medieval towns, Heidelberg’s old town retains a distinctly medieval charm, with its cobblestone streets, baroque buildings, and the scenic Neckar River running through its heart.
A walk across the Old Bridge, with its stunning views of Heidelberg Castle, is one of the most romantic experiences in the town. Climb the Philosopher’s Walk on the opposite bank for a panoramic view of the castle and old town, especially during sunset. Heidelberg’s historical atmosphere, combined with its vibrant cultural scene, makes it an ideal destination for a romantic getaway.
