Heidelberg is about 25 km away from Mannheim. I have been to Heidelberg few times before but this historic and beautiful old town never ceases to fascinate me. No wonder, it's on top of my list of places to introduce my parents to.
We were lucky to have a nice weather then. Our first stop was at the Palace and its garden then we took the 315 steps down to the old town center. After wandering around the Town Square, we visited the two cathedrals. We had lunch at the Thai Restaurant at the town center and subsequently walked down to the river side and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon there. There is so much to say about the town of Heidelberg and its towering Palace but I don't have the luxury to sit in front of my computer these days. We have enough on our plates to keep me away from my blog station. Nevertheless, let me take you through the trip with the photos below.
