It's got an awesome castle, the river is pretty, the Uni is spread out throughout the city and there's a students pub where they serve beer from a boot.

Not only that, but the famed American humorist and author, Samuel Langhorn Clemens spent some time there, and visited the museum in the castle. He noted that the museumkeeper, after talking to him in German, decided that his German was unique, and he'd love to keep it as an exhibit.

I got lost there once on my way to Geneva. Very pretty town.

It's the third most populated area in Europe.

I have three cousins living in Heidelburg. It's a picturesque city, much nicer than Orlando. Especially the old part of town.

Hmm... I suppose to someone whose first language is English, it might not be obvious from the pronounciation of the name that the 'e' is before the 'i' in Heidelberg.

Pie, tie, lie, etc...
