Historic Heidelberg
Terri July 10th, 2008
Set along the Neckar river, Heidelberg is a legendary university town immortalized in the works of Goethe, Victor Hugo, and Mark Twain as well as in the 1950’s movie The Student Prince. A favorite with tourists for its charm, extraordinary castle and historical importance, Heidelberg welcomes more than two million visitors every year. (We recommend going in May or September for best weather and fewer tourists.)

Munich is one of the most charming cities in Germany. Located in the south near the alps, it is the capital of Bavaria and the most visited city in Germany. We enjoyed our visit to Munich and are looking forward to returning. Two days is not enough time to see all there is to see.
