Old Town Haupstrasse and Altstadt
Heidelberg’s old town is famous for its narrow streets that run through every nook and cranny of the city. All the streets are paved with extremely clean stone, and on both sides of the streets are old houses with pristine medieval architecture…
Quang Hieu shared: “Along the old street, there are many restaurants selling German specialties and meaningful souvenirs”. Therefore, visitors can easily find many delicious and famous German dishes. Typical dishes include German beer, German sausages, etc. The neighborhood will be more bustling with cultural, entertainment, shopping and culinary activities on weekends.

Pocket tips for exploring the city of Heidelberg
Heidelberg has an oceanic climate because it is located in the valley between the Palatinate and Odenwald forests. There are more easterly winds than usual because the temperature is moderated year-round by maritime air masses coming from the west.
According to Quang Hieu, the ideal time to visit Heidelberg is summer and autumn. The temperature is not too hot and not too cold, very suitable for outdoor activities as well as wedding photography. In July, Heidelberg has many big festivals with food, music flea markets and fireworks.
