Daily between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m.,
romantics, mulled-wine experts and families will be able
to enjoy the flair of the Christmas market, with over
140 stalls situated on large and small squares.
Everywhere in the Old Town, alongside the rich and
varied handicraft selection, an array of attractions
awaits guests both young and old.
The aroma of roast chestnuts, sugared almonds, cinnamon,
cloves and mulled wine fills the air of the historic
Neckar city. The view of the Castle enjoyed over a cup
of warming mulled wine, the festively decorated shops in
the city centre and the typical, regional gastronomic
offerings across many squares all blend together
wonderfully with this most beautiful time of the year. A
festive cultural programme with many concerts, theatre
and opera performances accompanies the Christmas hustle
and bustle.
From November 28, 2007 till January 6, 2008 one can ice
skate at the foot of the castle between 10 a.m. and 9:30
p.m. daily. The open air skating rink transforms
Karlsplatz into an icy landscape with a view of the most
famous ruins in the world- the Heidelberg Castle!
Surrounding the glittering ice rink are stands offering
Glühwein, hot punch, bratwurst and other tasty treats.
Skate rentals and clothing checks are available. |
