the romantic city of Heidelberg

A city that can look back on over 800 years of history and culture and at the same time represents one of the most advanced centers of scientific research in Europe: as such, Heidelberg is both the epitome of Student Prince romanticism and the home of a long list of Nobel Prize winners, with the famous Castle as its crowning glory, a princely setting indeed for open-air concerts and the annual Castle Festival.

But it is not only the beauty of the place that attracts visitors from all over the world. Many come here to entrust themselves to the medical care of the renowned professors associated with the University Hospitals. Alongside the institutes of the University itself, Heidelberg is also the home of the German Cancer Research Center and no fewer than five Max Planck institutes.
