Alte Universitaet

Pass by the local University and learn how it was founded in 1386 on instruction of Pope Urban VI, Heidelberg is Germany's oldest university and one of the world's oldest surviving universities. Don’t miss a visit to the Student Jail. Students were detained here for minor offences such as disturbing the peace, and so were still allowed to attend their lectures – as long as they returned when their class was over. In use between 1778 and 1914, the walls of the jail are filled with the incarcerated students’ writings, images, and portraits.

Other than not knowing exactly where to meet the guide, all was GREAT. I learned a lot more than I expected to and went back the next day to retrace some steps and take more pictures. Reading on line about history of the town also helped in understanding about what the guide was talking about as well. She was very good and really answered all questions the best she could. We only had a group of 5 since we were doing English, so pretty much personal group.

We enjoyed our Tour guide. We got an inside tour of there wonderful artifacts. He shared intersesting stories, and theories.There is an area you can pick up a bite to eat and a store for souvenirs. There are paved paths to walk. We were not prepared for the weather that blew in that day.

Ho fortemente voluto questa visita per la fama della sua antica università e il fascino delle rovine del castello che domina il centro storico, ma ho trovato una città molto diversa da quanto mi aspettavo, disordinata, molto "imbastardita" da negozi e ristoranti commerciali e turistizzati e i musei dell'Università piveri e poco accoglienti. Insomma molto lontana dalla sua fama di città romantica e culturale

Es wurde Geschichtliches gut vermittelt und Lust auf mehr gemacht. Heidelberg hat viel zu bieten. Wir waren sehr zufrieden

Wir waren mit einem Altstadtkenner unterwegs der ein tolles Insiderwissen hatte. Der Spruch über die Hauptstraße in der Mitte links kaufen Rechts saufen war orginell.

Sehr schlecht , Anmeldung hat nicht geklappt ‚ man wusste nichts von uns ! Außerdem war es um ein Vielfaches zu teuer !! 25 anstatt dort geforderten 9?Euro pro Person !! Also es lohnt sich keinesfalls über TripAdvisor zu buchen und wir waren sehr enttäuscht ☹️!
