2 Best Bars in Heidelberg, Heidelberg and the Neckar Valley

Background Illustration for Nightlife

Heidelberg nightlife is concentrated in the area around the Heiliggeistkirche (Church of the Holy Ghost), in the Old Town. Don't miss a visit to one of the old student taverns that have been in business for generations.

Today's students, however, are more likely to hang out in one of the dozen or more cafés and bars on Untere Strasse, which runs parallel to and between Hauptstrasse and the Neckar River, starting from the market square.

Halle 02

The old railway freight terminal has been reborn as an art gallery and music club for concerts and dance parties. There's a beach atmosphere in summer on the outdoor patio. Concerts generally begin at 8 pm, dance parties at 11 pm or later.

Kulturhaus Karlstorbahnhof

This destination for music, theater, cabaret, and cinema has moved from downtown to an outer area of Heidelberg, which city planners are creating into an events center. New is an on-site restaurant. What has not changed is that ticket prices vary, starting at around €15.
