good morning and welcome to heidelberg today we are going to take you on a tour of this historic
university city located in south west germany this was the last stop on our
tour of germany and although we only had three days in the city we managed to cover many of
the main attractions in the old town in this video we are going to tour the ruins
of heidelberg castle and visit some of the sights within its walls like the
wine barrel and the pharmacy museum we are going to walk around heidelberg university and its
infamous jail for students and in addition to that we are going to walk the path of the philosophers to
enjoy a beautiful sunset we are going to walk on the banks of the neckar river and we are also going to enjoy
some delicious German and international dishes during our visit so if it sounds
good to the we invite you to subscribe to the channel and let's start this trip through heidelberg germany
we start our day with a visit to the most well-known attraction from the city
heidelberg castle or rather its ruins the castle ruins are located on a hillside
on the south side of the neckar river you can go up by funicular but we decided to do it on foot
the oldest castle structure dates back from before 1200 14 with multiple extensions
over the centuries in 1537 a spoke caused a fire that destroyed the castle then there
was more damage due to other fires and wars and if you can believe it in 1764 another spoke fell
causing another fire that destroyed some of the rebuilt sections so
everything has happened to this castle ok so let's say the cocido said the main attraction the entrance
nine euros per person but if you want to do a guided tour that's an additional six euros
and it's the only way to visit the interior of the castle so now we are
in the central square it would be like we have access to a museum but we cannot go inside to
see the rooms Ones the library and I don't know what else is behind the walls the beautiful views
there are several terraces and panoramic points to enjoy the landscape of the city and
now let's talk about the pharmacy museum that focuses on pharmaceutical products from the
high middle ages to the modern age among the approximately 1000 pharmaceutical products there are
many curiosities for example we learned that in the 16th century mummies turned into powder
were seen as highly valued remedies and were used to treat all kinds of ailments from
coughs to a broken heart so let's thank the advances in science and medicine
everything
and now we show you another attraction inside the castle the heidelberg barrel this
huge wine barrel at one point could hold 221 thousand 726 liters of wine and
required 130 oak trees to build access was closed the day we visited
so we didn't get to shoot much through the glass but it's huge
then we spent some time wandering around the gardens nside the castle here we saw some
quite unusual sculptures like this trojan horse with three legs there is also a nice viewpoint that offers
panoramic views of the old town while we walked through the old town we also visited
the church of the holy spirit which is located in the market square the church has its
origins in a romanesque church from the first half of the 13th century but what you see today
was completed in the late gothic style in 1400 days the interior of the church has
imposing red stone columns and many stained glass windows that create a very bright interior
during our visit fidel ver we also enjoyed a nice walk along the banks
of the neckar river where there are many historic lives and mansions and
another activity that we
recommend for sunset is to climb the path
of the philosophers where one can enjoy views of the city with
heidelberg castle illuminated by that last light of day ok so this
afternoon by sunset we are walking up the trail but philosophers
so hard a little steep no more or less but it got its name because teachers and
philosophers used to walk this trail to think and appreciate the
beauty the single had vineyards and grandkids trails used to run down a area of ​​vineyards
also yes good friends there they have the views what about Samoans best views of
the city yes colom impressive the colors of autumn now
I'm hungry let's eat Korean dinner Korean food run food very well fast
and more
i
oh
and no good friends only once in a while do we feel like eating korean food
after living there for a while and we are walking near the cathedral and by chance
we saw a korean restaurant korean food and we were so surprised that we had to come and
eat here i ordered myself the bund hay is a spicy soup with a medium soft and delicious tofu it's
like being back in korean and we've already been in germany for a month so I'm not judging zguen for
not eating german food I have been eating shorts for a month oiled month so today in your very brief
samuel what did you ask for your dish or friends what is the favorite
dish a family dish in korea where they live pop in mixed spanish golds a
mixed rice with many fat a lot of vegetables little meat and spicy alicante sauce
sorry
you remembered ah
well friends what a difference today we are walking on a Monday and the streets are almost empty when
we were here on the weekend not many people today there are not many people we were only here on the
weekend week was full of tourists so today I feel like we can finally
appreciate the place and enjoy it because it's quieter you can say at our pace
yes so I recommend if you can visit during the week we have preferred
I don't know if you like more action maybe a weekend but for the other studies it is better

while we walked through the old town we also visited the
Jesuit church that was built noise in the baroque style between 170012 and 1759 the church
has had many purposes over the years it has been a military hospital
a university library and also a church we were lucky enough to visit when
someone was practicing the organ so we were able to enjoy some music
did you know that the university of heidelberg is not only the oldest university in germany but
also one of the oldest universities in the world this university
was founded in 1386 during the time of the holy roman empire that's all
it is a reason to visit and now we mention a rather curious attraction the
heidelberg university student prison the prison dates from 1780 and was where
students who committed minor crimes were punished the stays could be between one day and four weeks
but the students continued to attend their classes during the day the prison was in
operation until 1914 apparently during In the last decades of its operation, spending the
night in jail became something of a joke and students tried to be locked up
on purpose to leave their mark on the walls, apart from the students who were in jail
they also invited their friends and they had parties so eventually it had to be closed
ah we just visited the old student jail here at heidelberg university
and well this jail is no longer active but at one time they used to put students in there
if they were drunk and singing in the middle of the night and making noise so a friend of mine
super interesting to visit because one can see all the graffiti on the walls the messages
and the drawings left by the students one year I am very interested in the year with a cap
and if the entrance was three euros per person and they give you ten minutes for two so a
quick and healthy attraction around here in the old part of the city for me very interesting
and also well i really like it a little weird but it's worth 23 euros a restaurant in heidelberg
that we really enjoyed was actor and fer this place had a super warm
and welcoming atmosphere and after a few hours walking around in the cold we were more than ready for a good
meal good friends a very nice new restaurant this place is full of antiques
musical instruments nice decorations and well it had a new dish that I
have never tried called mountain and the description said that it was going to be like a giant radio
with ground beef per recipe and onion for me it reminds me a little more communal year but without sauce
suddenly very good and
the separation is the truth
today samuel tries a new dish this is called
a dough of bread and cheese with believable and now with a false line
how are you
very tasty either by instinct just like
my plate comes with a green salad also potato salad
another thing that one should do during a trip to heidelberg is to try the student
in course or the kiss of the e student this is a sweet that was invented in the city
and consists of a nougat and chocolate praline filling the exchange of chocolate will be
a way of showing affection between couples this chocolate originated in café
de sol but can also be found in a chocolate shop called heidelberg student inc
lastly we visited the botanical garden of heidelberg university founded
in 1593 which makes it one of the oldest botanical gardens in
germany unfortunately the greenhouse was not open to the public when we arrived
so we couldn't see a lot but if you decide to visit the garden it is
located in the new campus on the north side of the river and you can get there by bus
now let's talk about public transport that's how we got around here in the city of
heidelberg what we did was buy a pass that we can use on the bus on
the tram and this was five euros per person per day in other cities they had a path of
a week of a month pe But here they only had one pass from Monday to Friday and since we were
here for part of the weekend it didn't make sense to buy a week's pass, so we
went with the daily path 5 per person and it was very easy to get around the city like that
and that was our trip to heidelberg germany as always if you have other suggestions of
things to do in heidelberg you can share your ideas with travelers in the comments and if you
