Heidelberg Podcasts

In this episode of the podcast Reisen Reisen, journalist Michael Dietz can hardly stop raving. For him, Heidelberg really is that beautiful.

“One of the most beautiful cities in Germany.”

He speaks openly—and he doesn’t need to exaggerate. The fairytale-like Heidelberg Castle, the charming old town, the baroque architecture, the Neckar River, the meadows, and the surrounding forests all stand out in their own way. Dietz has made it his mission to experience cities beyond the typical tourist paths, and here too Heidelberg impresses him completely.

“Easily in the top 5 in Germany.”

The influence that many famous poets, thinkers, and artists have had on the city clearly fascinates him. At the same time, he feels that these creative minds have also left their mark on Heidelberg. The city has been attracting visitors for centuries, and its historic charm continues to draw people from all over the world.

“Heidelberg qualifies for the Champions League every year.”

Warm and welcoming people (with their charming dialect), beautiful nature all around, a fascinating history, rich culture, a lively student atmosphere, medieval alleyways, and the down-to-earth character of the Kurpfalz region—all of this combined is what makes Heidelberg so unique for Michael Dietz.
