Christmas time in Heidelberg: This is a magical Christmas market in the old town, with lovely shops offering great gift ideas. It couldn't be more atmospheric. Cafe Schafheutle in Heidelberg's city centre not only has fresh cakes and homemade chocolates, but at Christmas time it also serves the best Stollen in Germany, awarded by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. There are also cinnamon stars, vanilla crescents and so on. Everything made according to grandfather's recipes. During Advent, the squares along the main street in Heidelberg's traditional old town are transformed into a magical Christmas market with an ice rink, carousel, giant barrel and many stalls selling arts and crafts and delicacies. Anyone planning a city tour of Heidelberg with Susanne Kahlig will not only hear stories about the old bridge, the Philosopher's Walk, Heidelberg Castle and the main street, but also about the world-famous Heidelberg student kiss. She knows the best selfie spots and where to find the best Christmas baked apple. There are well over 100 different soaps in Germany's oldest soap factory, Klar-Seifen on Heidelberg's main street. Here you can still find an original souvenir that you can buy directly in Heidelberg, from Christmas soap with mulled wine flavor to cord soap with pinot noir wine scent and solid hair shampoo with lemongrass, tea tree oil or herbs.
