Vacation Rentals in Heidelberg

The picturesque student city of Heidelberg has been attracting tourists for centuries, which is why it is not surprising that there are countless holiday accommodations in all price segments. You will live in the historic centre of Heidelberg, north and south of the banks of the Neckar River, close to the Kurfürsten complex and Ladenburger Straße. On site you can enjoy the charm of the modernly furnished holiday apartments, which are located in the midst of numerous Art Nouveau buildings.
Sights such as the Heidelberg Castle, the Packaging Museum and the Kurpfälzische Museum are just a few minutes walk away, as are the many quaint beer cellars and restaurants. Thanks to the dense bus and train network, it is also not far from your vacation rental in the centre to the nearest public transport station, from where you can also reach more distant destinations comfortably without a car.

If you prefer a more quiet location, a cosy apartment or vacation rental on the outskirts of town or in the Heidelberg countryside is just the thing. You will find what you are looking for, especially in the Kirchheim, Rohrbach and Boxberg districts in the south and in Eppelheim in the west. Would you rather move into a vacation rental with a direct view of the picturesque Neckar? Then you should take a look around in the Ziegelhausen district to the east.
There you have the choice between well-equipped apartments directly on the banks of the Neckar river and holiday accommodations that nestle against the green hills and offer a wonderful view of the valley from their balconies and terraces. Thanks to the S-Bahn station only a few hundred metres away, you can also reach the centre from there within a few minutes.

Its location between the Odenwald forest and the Upper Rhine plain makes the city of Heidelberg a popular destination for hikers. In addition to the obligatory tour of the old town, you should always visit the so-called Philosopher's Path. This will take you from the Old Bridge on the Schlangenweg over numerous steps to viewpoints where you can enjoy the unique panorama of the old town and the castle ruins while letting your gaze wander to the Königsstuhl.
Alternatively, an excursion to the Königsstuhl or a hike on the 126-kilometre-long Neckarsteig is a good choice. Here, too, there are sections that are particularly suitable for families with children, so the best way to find out is to visit the local tourist information office.

Heidelberg is so rich in cultural sights that it takes almost two holidays before you have seen everything that is famous and famous. From Heidelberg Castle, the city's landmark, to the baroque Old Town and the world-famous Neckar Bridge, to historically significant buildings such as the Heiliggeistkirche, Palais Weimar and Wormser Hof, Heidelberg has a lot to offer.
Very interesting is also a trip to the Old University, which was already built in the early 18th century. The cultural offerings are rounded off by a wide range of museums, such as the Heidelberg Art Museum, the Kurpfälzische Museum, the publicly accessible thematic collections of the University and the Heidelberg Zoo.

Due to the rich cultural offer and the numerous sights Heidelberg is basically worth a trip all year round. However, the best time to travel is between May and September, when mild temperatures and up to seven hours of sunshine a day are tempting. Especially for June, July and August you should book your apartment in Heidelberg as early as possible due to the high demand.

The packed programme of events in Heidelberg begins in March with the Heidelberger Frühling, a festival for contemporary and classical music featuring numerous international artists. The Heidelberg Marathon in April, the Queer Festival and the Heidelberg Rowing Regatta in May and the Theatre Marathon in June, which transforms the city's public squares into a single open-air stage, will continue.
In the summer, the Heidelberg Castle Festival, the HeidelbergMan Triathlon and the regular fireworks events, which illuminate the castle and the historic Neckar Bridge in a fascinating light, are alluring attractions. With the Filmfestival Mannheim-Heidelberg in November another highlight awaits.
