The most beautiful views
For an unforgettable view of the event, various viewpoints along the Neckar River and on the hillside areas of the city are ideal.
The most popular viewing spots include the Philosopher’s Walk, the Nepomuk Terrace at the Old Bridge, Ziegelhäuser Landstraße, and the boats of the White Fleet. You also have a good view from Theodor-Heuss Bridge.
From the B37 (Neckarstaden), the fireworks at the Old Bridge can also be seen; however, Heidelberg Castle is not visible from this location.
