The heart of romantic Heidelberg is undoubtedly the imposing Castle, towering over the city. This majestic building, which is the symbol of the city, is a must-see on any romantic trip. Heidelberg Castle, with a rating of 4.7 out of 5, impresses not only with its architecture, but also with its rich history. Take a guided tour to learn about the fascinating history of the place. We especially recommend a visit at sunset, when the castle takes on a unique, romantic character.

One of the most charming places on the castle grounds is the Scheffelterrasse, an observation deck offering a breathtaking panorama of the city. With a rating of 4.8, it's the perfect place for romantic photos and moments of relaxation. It's worth coming here early in the morning, when there are fewer tourists, or in the evening to admire the illuminated city.

From the castle hill, walk down towards the Old Town, where another attraction awaits you - the Old Bridge (rating 4.7). This stone bridge from the 18th century is not only an important transportation point, but above all a romantic place for strolls. It looks especially beautiful at dusk, when the castle in the background is illuminated by the last rays of the sun.

Not to be missed is Elizabeth Gate, also known as Elizabeth Gate (rating 4.7). This arched structure with rich sculptural decorations is a romantic birthday gift from Elector Frederick V to his wife. Legend has it that it was built overnight, which adds to its romantic charm.

All of these sites are in close proximity to each other, making it easy to visit. The castle and the Old Town are the heart of Heidelberg, where history and romance intertwine to create an unforgettable experience for couples in love.

Heidelberg offers many picturesque places ideal for romantic walks and admiring beautiful views. One such place is Neckarwiese (rating 4.6), a sprawling park on the banks of the Neckar River. It's the perfect place to relax and have a picnic for two. You can spread a blanket on the grass, enjoy the peace and quiet and watch the boats passing by. The park is especially lovely at sunset, when the last rays reflect in the waters of the Neckar.

Not to be missed is the famous Philosopher's Garden (rating 4.7), one of Heidelberg's most romantic spots. This scenic path winding down the slope of the Heiligenberg mountain offers unforgettable views of the Old Town, the castle and the Neckar valley. It's the perfect place for a romantic stroll at sunset. Be sure to bring a blanket and a bottle of local wine for a romantic picnic overlooking the city.

Another charming spot is Brückenaffe (rating 4.6), or 'Bridge Monkey.' This small sculpture located at the Old Bridge is not only a tourist attraction, but also a symbol of good luck. According to local tradition, touching the mirror held by the monkey brings good luck and prosperity, and touching the fingers of its right hand guarantees a return to Heidelberg. This is the perfect place to take a souvenir photo and plan your next romantic visit to this city.

After a long day full of excitement, stop in one of the charming restaurants. We recommend Alte Gundtei (rating 4.6), a Turkish restaurant offering not only delicious food, but also a cozy, romantic atmosphere. It's the perfect place for dinner for two, where you can enjoy the flavors of the Orient in the heart of Heidelberg.

Each of these places offers different attractions and sights, but they all share the romantic atmosphere of Heidelberg. Neckarwiese is the perfect place to relax and have a picnic, the Philosopher's Garden delights with a panoramic view of the city, Brückenaffe adds a pinch of magic and tradition, and Alte Gundtei pampers the palates of lovers. All of these places are easily accessible and located in the center or in close proximity to the Old Town, making it easy to plan a romantic day in Heidelberg.
