Heidelberg Meeting:Jun 02, 2008

For those of you who are still in the area and still have some energy left after the Euromeet, I'd like to offer another tour of Heidelberg on Monday.

First I'd like to show you a lesser known part of Heidelberg,
with the second castle of Heidelberg - outside only, we cannot go inside-,
the St Vitus church - here we can go inside -
and one of my favourite cafés - here we can definitely go inside.

Then back to the main street and walk up to the "real" castle.
Entrace fee for the court yard, big vat, terrace and pharmacy museum is 3 Euro. If you want to have a guided tour inside, it's another 4 Euro.

Meeting point: Bismarckplatz, in front of the Galeria Kaufhof, at the modern art sculpture

Meeting time: 11:00

There is a train (S-Bahn) from Karlsruhe at 9:28, arriving in Heidelberg at 10:12.
Then bus # 33 to Bismarckplatz or streetcar # 5 or #21.

Tickets for the S-Bahn are 9,90 Euro for a single.
For travel within Heidelberg a ticket-24 is 5 Euro - for one person - and ticket-24-plus 8.50 Euro - for up to five people.
These tickets have to be validated before you use them.

Another option is the Baden-Württemberg ticket, 18 Euro for one person and 27 Euro for up to five. This ticket is valid on the regional trains, S-Bahn, RE and RB, also within Heidelberg, from 9 am to 3 am the next morning ( So no need to get a ticket-24). You have to write down your names on this ticket. If you buy it on the counter, it's two Euro more.

Some Vters have already told me they're coming, I'm looking forward to showing you another Heidelberg.
