Learn more about hotels in Heidelberg

Nestled in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, Heidelberg is rightfully ranked as the fifth-largest city in the region. Renowned for being a pivotal scientific hub, the city houses internationally respected research facilities, like the European Molecular Biology Laboratory and four Max Planck Institutes. At the heart of all that is Heidelberg University, the oldest in Germany and one of the most respected in Europe. This vibrant academic scene contributes to its population of approximately 159,914, wherein one-fourth are students.

Heidelberg’s rich cultural history is displayed in its illustrious designation as a "City of Literature" by the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. The city is deeply embedded with thousands of years of history, making it a treasure trove for history aficionados. Heidelberg’s role in Germany's past is noteworthy, evidenced by the fact it served as a governmental seat of the former Electorate of the Palatinate. However, it hasn't been all plain sailing. The city endured substantial damage during the Thirty Years' War and the late 17th-century invasion by French troops, but it has since been restored and rebuilt into one of Germany's leading tourist destinations.

When to visit Heidelberg

Heidelberg enjoys a humid subtropical climate, which means it witnesses mild winters and gloriously long, hot summers. The best time to visit is during the summer months, particularly from May to August when the city truly comes alive with family-friendly events and activities. Of course, the summer also means the highest temperatures (as much as 89.6℉) in June and July. But don't worry if summer travel isn't an option for you.

April, with its reduced rainfall and low humidity, might be more up your street as ideal visiting time. Whenever you choose to go, make sure not to miss popular attractions like the Heidelberg Castle and the Carl Theodor Old Bridge, which are especially spectacular in June.
