Private Guided Heidelberg Tour from Frankfurt by Train
Overview
If you're staying in Frankfurt and want a short getaway, Heidelberg is the place to go. It wonderfully combines old and new buildings, narrow streets, market squares, arts, history, science, shopping, eating and relaxing. The main road through the Old Town is one of the longest pedestrian zones in Europe and is where most of the shopping is centered. See the University, Germany’s oldest and one of the world’s oldest, and learn how it was founded in 1386 on instruction of Pope Urban VI. Learn about the Student Jail, where students were arrested for minor offences and still allowed to attend class, under the condition of returning here after. Germany’s oldest university town is renowned for its Old Town and its view to the hilltop castle. We will take you from Frankfurt to Heidelberg by train, the best way to enjoy the scenic landscapes of more rural Germany, to then arrive with your private guide to this beautiful university city.
