Heidelberg Castle is definitely one of the highlights of the city. Perched on a hill above the old town, it offers stunning views over the Neckar River and the rooftops of Heidelberg. The combination of ruins and preserved sections gives it a truly romantic and historic atmosphere. The funicular ride up to the castle is quick and convenient, and once you’re at the top, there’s plenty to explore

24.11 방문 성 내에 꼭 입장하지 않아도 될 정도로 성 주변이 잘되어있다 24.11 기준 모노레일? 푸니쿨라? 는 운영하지 않는다 버스를 타고 올라가야하고 매 30분 마다 오는 버스라 줄이 엄청나게 길다 성곽 외부만 보더라도 고층에 탁 트인 뷰가 보이고 성 주변도 둘러볼 수 있어서 꼭 방문 추천 ——- Visit on November 24 The area around the castle is so well-maintained that you don’t necessarily need to enter the castle itself. As of November 24, neither the monorail nor the funicular is operational. You need to take a bus up, which comes every 30 minutes, resulting in extremely long queues. Even if you only view the exterior of the castle walls, you can enjoy a panoramic view from the high elevation and explore the surroundings, so a visit is highly recommended.
