The Best Sight in Heidelberg, Heidelberg and the Neckar Valley

Hoisting visitors to the summit of the Königstuhl in 17 minutes, the funicular runs in two sections. The lower funicular leaves every 10 minutes from Kornmarkt, and stops at Heidelberg Schloss before arriving at Molkenkur. Here, you can enjoy coffee and cake, or regional lunchtime fare at the cafe before transferring to the upper funicular. The fee to the castle includes entry to the gardens, wine cellar, and German Pharmacy Museum. Go early in the day to avoid the crowds, or late afternoon for the sunset.
