If you’re visiting Germany, don’t miss the opportunity to visit the country’s most surreal city, Heidelberg.

As you walk along the streets surrounding the Neckar River, you’ll witness a phenomenal view of Karl Theodor Bridge, popularly known as Old Bridge. Its arches are made of the iconic red sandstone of Heidelberg, which was also used in building other architectures, including the historic Heidelberg Palace.
