Would you like to pay a visit to the beautiful Neckar city soon? We have put together various ideas for you to organize your short break or weekend in Heidelberg. We will whisk you away for a day to Heidelberg, a city full of history, charm and breathtaking landscapes. Here are three options for your day program to get the most out of your visit:

Short break option 1: “Discover Heidelberg from different angles”

Your day’s program starts at 10 a.m. with a unique
boat trip with Riverboat Heidelberg
which will allow you to experience the beauty of Heidelberg from a completely new perspective for two hours. On board, you can expect not only a relaxed atmosphere, but also a delicious breakfast so that you can start the day feeling refreshed.

As you glide comfortably along on the water, you can enjoy the picturesque backdrop of Heidelberg and escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The relaxed atmosphere and the view of the historic buildings and green mountains will enchant you. While you sit comfortably in the boat and have breakfast, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Old Bridge, the castle, the historic mountain railroad and much more. The only “breakfast restaurant” in Heidelberg with changing views of the city’s sights!

After the relaxing jaunt, we continue our sightseeing program ashore, refreshed and in a good mood. On a walk through Heidelberg’s Old Town, you can stroll through the narrow alleyways, discover historic squares and soak up the charming atmosphere of the city. The charm of the narrow streets and historic squares in the beautiful Neckar city is absolutely unique.

A real highlight awaits you in the afternoon: a visit to Heidelberg Castle. After a short climb up to the majestic castle, you have a breathtaking view of the Neckar and the surrounding mountains. A moment you won’t forget in a hurry. Afterwards, round off the evening in one of the many historic venues in the old town.

Short vacation variant 2: “Relax & Recharge”

You start the day comfortably with a hearty breakfast at the hotel. Have a really good time and recharge your batteries for the day. Then you make your way to Bismarckplatz, because not far from there starts
your cruise with Riverboat Heidelberg
. The trip takes place from 12 noon to 4 pm, so you have plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful scenery and escape the stress of everyday life.

A short walk along the Neckar along the Neckar beach in Heidelberg puts us in the perfect mood for the boat trip. After just a few minutes’ walk we reach Riverboat Heidelberg’s pier. Pure relaxation awaits us on board the historic wooden boats. At a leisurely speed of 5 km/h, we glide along the most beautiful places in Heidelberg. Here you can not only enjoy the sun on your skin, but also taste delicious wines from the region and enjoy good conversation. If you like, you can also book snacks such as our tapas platter and let yourself be pampered all round.

After the relaxed ride, we head to the other side of the Neckar, into the countryside. You can enjoy nature and recharge your batteries on a relaxing walk along the Neckarwiese. Afterwards, head back to your wellness hotel, where you can pamper yourself with a short sauna session and round off the day with a delicious dinner.

And then? Then off to a cozy hotel bed for a restful night in which we can review the beautiful impressions of the day in our dreams. Sounds like a perfect day, doesn’t it?

Short break option 3: “Nature in the heart of Heidelberg”

Would you like to make the most of your day and enjoy Heidelberg to the full? Then we have just the thing for you! Let’s experience a varied day together that offers you both exercise and relaxation.

We start early in the morning after a delicious breakfast at the hotel and make our way to Philosophenweg in Neuenheim. This picturesque route takes you through shady forests up to the
Thingstätte
. The ascent is not only athletic, but also rewards you with magnificent views over Heidelberg and the surrounding countryside.

Once you reach the top, you can fortify yourself at the Höhengasthof “Zum Weißen Stein” or enjoy a cozy picnic on the Heiligenberg. Take your time and recharge your batteries for the next part of our adventure.

And now for the relaxing highlight of the day: your boat trip with Riverboat Heidelberg! From 2 to 4 pm, you can experience the beauty of Heidelberg from the water. Bus 35 takes you from the Neuenheim side of the Alte Brücke to the Stadthalle, directly opposite the pier, in just 2 minutes. On board the lovingly restored wooden boats, you can put your feet up, enjoy a well-earned glass of wine and admire the passing scenery. A few snacks are also available for you to make you feel completely at ease.

After the relaxing boat trip, you have a choice: either return to the hotel to rest and freshen up, or end the day in one of the many lovely restaurants in the old town.
