Thr real H-Town
This picture of Heidelberg, which I found on the internet, shows the city from such a high angle that it was porbably taken out of a helicopter. However, the it only depicts Heidelberg downtown and the castle; in other words, only the right side of the river Rhine. Thr bridge one can (one of three in HD) see on that connects both sides is the so called "Alte Bruecke", meaning old bridge. It just has been restored recently.
The downtown area is the usually the meeting point for students to go to a bar or club. the area also offers plenty of delicious restaurants which even students can afford. Besides that, most of the linguistic departments are located downtown as well. Since I am an English major I spend a lot of my time in the "Altstadt" (downtown). I even once had the chance to live there for a few months but moved away willingly to more outside area of Heidelberg because of during the weekends the noise downtown can get imaginable.
But all in all, especially in the summer, numerous street events and markets make the life in Heidelberg even more worth living than it already is.
