Be it summer or winter, Heidelberg offers many events, such as Castle on fire, music festivals at the castles in Heidelberg and Schwetzingen, as well as the Heidelberger Frühling and the autumn town fair Heidelberger Herbst, all of them with many cultural highlights. The beautiful Christmas Market in the romantic town centre is not to be missed.

Heidelberg is the ideal starting point for visits to the surrounding area. The Technical Museums and fairs with IMAX screens in Speyer and Sinsheim attract many visitors each year. Odenwald, Palatinate and the Alsace offer wonderful hiking opportunities.
