hi from heidelberg
part four of my 2022 european summer trip. things I did + things I ate in heidelberg, germany on our 18-hour layover.
Hi from Heidelberg! Although I was running on fumes at this point, having only 18 hours in Germany acted as a second wind. After getting to the hotel and settling in, we ventured out to sightsee and find some food. We mostly walked Hauptstrasse, the longest shopping street in Germany running over a mile long.
While walking through Altstradt, old town, we stopped by a traditional German restaurant ordering schnitzel (of course), bratkartoffeln (potatoes + onions), and jagerschnitzel (traditional schnitzel with mushroom cream sauce + noodles). Post dinner, we had to have a sweet treat, stopping next door at Eigene Herstellung for an extravagant chocolate sundae.
Rumor was, we had to stop at this 300-shot bar, Shooter Stars. Finding the shot list here, this list was extensive. We ordered by name without knowing what was in each, realizing some popular shot names were not universal!
Lastly, here are a few more photos of our walk around Heidelberg. We called it an early night and rested for the next adventure, Switzerland!
That’s all for this quick layover city. See you in Switzerland!
XO, kalli
