Christmas Markets - part 2 - Germany

Castles and Cars

We spent a few days checking out the main towns of Heidelberg and Stuttgart. Heidelberg is a cozy little university focused town, but is also know for it's picturesque castle. Stuttgart is a larger metro that is the birthplace of the automobile (Daimler, Mayback, Benz, and Porsche) and has a few lesser known castles of it's own.

Highly recommend:

• Heidelberg castle
• Heidelberg Christmas markets
• Stuttgart Christmas markets
• Stuttgart Königstraße (King's Street) pedestrian area

Other sites to check out:

• Philosophers Walk
• Heidelberg old bridge
• Stuttgart new and old castles
• Mercedes Benz museum
• Porsche museum
