This day tour includes a visit to Heidelberg Castle, where you can explore its ruins and enjoy a panoramic view of the city from the terrace. After the castle, the itinerary takes you through Heidelberg's medieval center, including sights like the old bridge, Karlstor, and Heiliggeistkirche. In Rothenburg, a guided walking tour will lead you through its historic streets, the Burggarten, and St. Jacob's Church, home to the renowned Holy Blood Altar. You will also have the opportunity to visit the Crime Museum, the Doll and Toy Museum, and/or the Christmas Museum. The tour includes a stop at a local shop for souvenirs such as wood carvings, glasses, Christmas decorations, beer mugs, and cuckoo clocks.
