The Altstadt of Heidelberg is quite nice. It's calm and it has a particular atmosphere. Obviously it is better when the shops are open (avoid Sundays and Bank-days, because in Germany everything is closed for law). The Haupstrasse is a pleasant walking street.

Generally unavoidable area, its a nice are to inevitably go to. Lots to do and see in Heidelberg so I only rate this a 4 and not a 5 because you don't wanna spend too much time here but instead spend time in the castle area and philosophers way.

Nice unbomed area from ww2 in Germany. The old town is a great place to walk around on the cobble stone streets.This area has a good vibe and you can't beat the overall atmosphere.
