Heidelberg's old town is a particularly fine choice for a weekend trip. The nearby Frankfurt Airport makes this romantic city easily accessible from other parts of Germany. At our Frankfurt Airport branch, you will find a suitable rental car for your onward journey to Heidelberg. Frankfurt Airport is just 50 minutes by car from the city on the Neckar. Are you planning a longer stay in Heidelberg and need to store a lot of luggage? You can also rent a saloon or estate at Frankfurt Airport.

The university city's chief landmark can be seen from afar: Heidelberg Castle. This magnificent building is a ruin that has never been fully rebuilt. Nevertheless, the old walls exude charm and history. If you're on foot, you can hike up to the Schlossberg hill on which the castle stands, from where the neat houses of the student associations are visible. Visitors looking for a less strenuous trip can take the historic cog railway to the top. You can park your rental car directly in the mountain station's car park. From the Schlossberg, visitors can enjoy a magnificent panorama over the old town, including the Church of the Holy Spirit. The best view of the castle is on the Philosophenweg on the other side of the Neckar river. For children, Heidelberg Zoo, which is located west of the old town and can be reached quickly by car, is a highlight of the city.

The Odenwald forest is just a few minutes' drive from Heidelberg. There, visitors can enjoy a stark contrast to the bustle of the student city: This idyllic natural spot attracts those seeking peace and quiet. Hikers and mountain bikers can take advantage of a well-developed network of trails through the forest. To the west of Heidelberg, the city of Speyer attracts many travellers. Tourists like to stroll through Speyer's old town and visit the historic cathedral. Science and action can be found in the Speyer Museum of Technology, where visitors can experience spacecraft up close. And a visit to the aircrafts displayed there also means the opportunity to dash back down to the ground on the slide.

With about 150,000 inhabitants, Heidelberg is a smaller city. It has excellent signage to help guide drivers through the old town and lead them to the sights. All major roads in the city centre area are two-lane. Traffic is regulated by traffic lights and a few roundabouts. Most hotels have their own car park. If, for example, you park your car in the Darmstädter Hof shopping centre car park, you can reach the old town very quickly, which encourages you to take your time. The shopping paradise of Heidelberg also entices many visitors with its numerous boutiques and department stores.
