The ship docked in an industrial area and the bus ride to Heidelburg was about an hour each way. The ship offered several tours including one for gentle walkers. Having been to Heidelberg before, I opted to take the funicular from the center of town up past the castle to the top of the mountain. Great views. Back in town, the local shops in the pedestrian area offer a lot of variety. I enjoyed a cappucino and a piece of cake in a local cafe and found the service to be good and the price reasonable.

Seemed silly to be doing two castles back to back so spent time on the boat to Speyer and visited the Technik museum. Could have spent so much more time there and by far the best most interactive museum I have ever been to. Viking should really look at including it in their itinerary. Read Less

The town was nice but the cathedral was underwhelming. Read Less

Very good young and funny guide taking in the impressive castle and the lovely old town. Read Less
