A must do in Heidelberg.Take the funicular railway to the castle and enjoy fantastic views over the city.A guided tour of the castle allows a much better insight the the history and the lives of nobility who lived there. If you have lunch at the castle cafe-the apple strudel and the rhubarb water are highly recommended.

Stunning gardens. Only €3.50 after 17:30. Beautiful mosque, bird garden and lakes. You need 3 hours to do it justice.

We visited in winter, a lot of the statues and fountains were covered but it was still stunning. I imagine that in a few months the gardens and parklands would be wonderful. It is well worth a visit.

The “Fränkische Krone” (Franconian Crown) is one of the largest medieval castle buildings in Germany. Martin Luther lived within its walls in 1530. Today, internationally significant art collections are housed there.

This is the largest castle in Germany and really superb. Allow at least two hours for a visit. The route through the rooms is rather confusing but it is all very well done. The highlight is the renaissance art collection - really special. Also really good for glass, armour and cannons. And the exhibition of sledges is amazing! I recommend walking up from the park through the trees to really appreciate the castle on the hill. Nice café just outside the castle - not really a proper one inside.

I took the tour of the Imperial Castle of Nuremberg for a price of 8,00 that included the well next door. Had it not been for the well, I would have only given the castle a very good rating, but I found the well to be...overwhelming. This castle, which never served as a castle in the traditional sense, but rather more the US Capitol where Congress conducts government business. Well, in the case today, where Congress gets nothing done. Still, the building is very interesting and was the center of attention for some three hundred years. There is not a lot to see in the main hall except for a quirky parade of the king and his entourage. Luckily, the tour guide had a great sense of humor. What I enjoyed was the story behind the chapel, which adjoins the great hall. This was a double chapel with the commoners worshiping below and the nobles and king on the second floor. The private chambers were also interesting with a look of royal items from the past. Once the tour is complete, make sure you visit the museum and the well, which is slightly down the hill. Yeah, I get it, it is just a well. However, the guide does an outstanding job explaining how it worked and why people learned to drink beer instead of water, thereby saving numerous lives from vermin-infested water. I definitely recommend this tour while in Nuremberg.
8. Schloss Ehrenburg

It was the city residence of the dukes of Coburg from 1547 to 1918. Splendid chambers, the living rooms of Queen Victoria, the large hall, Gobelin room, red room, throne room, palace chapel, royal living rooms with precious furniture, and numerous portraits portray the impressive family connections of the Coburg dukes.

We went to Schloss Ehrenburg on a Saturday for the 5pm tour. The young tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate, throwing lots of jokes into the tour. (They were in German, which we don’t understand, but it was still nice). We were offered sheets with English explanations, which were very useful. The palace was beautiful and the history was fantastic, especially as someone particularly interested in Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and Ernst II. The 4 main attractions in Coburg offer ‘combi’ tickets for €13 to enter all, on any days. We visited 2 locations each day with the ticket. The palace is next to a large park where we sunbathed waiting for the tour to start (on the hour). Would recommend this tour for all!
