How to get to Heidelberg Palace

Address

Heidelberg Castle
69117 Heidelberg, Germany

Getting there

By public transport: from Heidelberg central station, take bus line 33 or bus line 20 to the stop
Bergbahn. Take the Bergbahn (funicular railway) to Schloss (Castle) station.

Please note:
Starting Wednesday, June 17, 2026, Graimbergweg will be closed due to construction work, likely until the end of the year. 
For the duration of the work, Steigerweg and Johannes-Hoops-Weg will be open to truck and bus traffic.

Access to the castle by car will continue to be via Neue Schlossstraße. There will be no changes to the existing signage leading to the castle and the parking lots.

For the return trip—which cannot be made via the Graimbergweg as usual during the closure—the following options are available for cars:
– via Hausackerweg toward Schlierbach, or
– via Molkenkurweg and then via Klingenteichstraße toward downtown.
