Heidelberg - A Romantic Getaway in Germany

When I think of Heidelberg, these adjectives came into my mind...Romantic, Idyllic, Picturesque, Magnificent and Tranquil...For those who are romantic at heart, Heidelberg would be a great choice to spend the holiday especially with your loved ones. Heidelberg, being one of Germany's most popular travel destinations, has so many interesting places to offer, namely Heidelberg Castle, University of Heidelberg (Ruprecht-Karls-Universität), Königstuhl, Old Bridge, Studentenkarzer, Heidelberg's Old Town, Philosophenweg and many more.

I went on a trip to Heidelberg organised by GLOBUS, a tutor-based organisation at my university that take care of the international students here.I had a wonderful time and tremendous joy exploring the awe-inspiring city with my international friends.We managed to explore some of the fascinating sightseeings and highlights of Heidelberg.Enjoy the pictures!!!

My facebook & Twitter status while on the bus "Sitting on the bus with the Spanish guys..chomeyl geela dorunk buat lawak..the journey has just started and i'm already having much fun! ".

I spent most of my time in Heidelberg with the Spanish guys, Pablo & Javier and also Sangpil, the Korean guy.

Heidelberg Castle

The Heidelberger "Schloss" (Castle) rises up on a rocky hilltop over the city's Old Town. Heidelberg's "Schloss" is one of the most impressive castles in Europe and a highlight along the German Castle Road.

Palace Courtyard

Once inside the Castle courtyard, you’ll see quite clearly that parts of the castle were built at different times in different styles. The architecture of the buildings is really impressive.

Can you see that clock tower? It's awesome. However, due to the daylight saving and same time across European countries, the time on this clock is not the same as normal watch because it's determined by the position of sun which is different at other places in Europe.Pening? I baca balik pon pening skit..

Great Wine Barrel

Here you can see the great wine barrel which is located in the cellar under Heidelberg castle.
