Heidelberg Suggestions Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
Consider staying at the Hoellander Hof, directly opposite the gate of the old bridge, spanning the Neckar River. A short block to the market place, Heiliggeistkirche (Holy Ghost Church) and city hall. The hotel offers nicely appointed rooms with private bath, lift, and extensive buffet breakfast including organic/healthy items. The castle illumination and fireworks take place several times each summer: a spectacular sight! Also concerts, ballet and productions of the operetta, "The Student Prince," take place in the castle courtyard evenings in July and August. Consider a boat trip on the River. Short trips of 1 hour all the way up to full day with views of many castles along the Neckar valley ar...Read More

Story/Tip

Quote:
The movie, "I was a Male Warbride," starring Cary Grant and Ann Sheridan was filmed in Heidelberg in 1948. In the opening the market place next to the Holy Ghost church is shown and also city hall (Rathaus). You can go inside the Rathaus and see where civil marriage ceremonies are conducted. In Germany you have to have a civil ceremony, religious ones are optional although many couples do get married in church but receptions are smaller and more low key than in the United States.
