About this guide

Heidelberg-Castle.com is an independent guide to Heidelberg Castle in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. We are not the castle, not Staatliche Schlösser und Gärten Baden-Württemberg, not Heidelberg Marketing, not a tour operator and not GetYourGuide. The site name describes the place we write about, not a business. For the castle's official information, including the current opening hours and the guided tour timetable, see schloss-heidelberg.de.

Facts here are checked against the castle's own pages, the Heidelberg funicular company, Heidelberg Marketing and the operators' listings on GetYourGuide, including recent guest reviews. What a tour includes, where it meets and how long it lasts is taken from that tour's listing and can change; when a listing and this page disagree, the listing at checkout wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a GetYourGuide link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we say, including that no online tour enters the castle buildings and that the garden is free. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
