If you walk through the Altstadt district on its main walkway - Hauptstraße - you’ll be disappointed. This walkway is entirely shops and eateries and you’ll feel no association with the old town. You…Full review by jordanellie41

Yes, but take into account that it's Sunday and you might face a queue after 11 a.m. On the other hand if you want to take advantage of the surroundings you can walk to the castle from downtown area is not so far. But this depends on how much you like walking!

I'm not 100% sure but you are likely to find attractions such as Heidelberg Castle open (at least limited hours) on Easter Monday. We were there on Dec 26th and while it is a public holiday in Germany (St. Stephens Day) and most of the businesses were closed, some restaurants were open in the old town and a few tourist shops. To expand further it is generally not permitted to sell commercial goods on Sundays and public holidays. As I mentioned, we were able to tour Heidelberg Castle on a public holiday so if that is one of the attractions you want to visit on Easter Monday, I would just double-check their website. The same for any other attraction you might be interested in visiting while you are in this lovely old city. Good luck and enjoy your trip!

Traditionally, German stores close on Saturday around 4pm and all day on Sunday. The only time stores were open on Sunday were the 4 Sunday's before Christmas. Even grocery stores closed at 4 on Saturday. However this is starting to change with stores staying open later on Saturday. In some touristy areas shops are open on Sunday. I would check with the tourist office for verification on this. You'll find a mixture of modern department stores, such as Kaufhof and H and M on the west end and other smaller shops. Don't overlook the shops and restaurants that are just a block or two off of the main street.

HI! We will be in Heidelberg June 3-5 (traveling from Dusseldorf) and are trying to find accommodations in Old Town (Altstadt). Any suggestions? Maybe an apartment or studio for the weekend?

We stayed at the Gasthaus Backmulde. I highly recommend it because the location was superb. It was a close walk to the pedestrian zone and castle and river. The hosts spoke perfect English and were very accommodating.
