Heidelberg at Night - Photo Walk｜Germany

The Heidelberg at Night Photo Walk offers the perfect opportunity to explore the most beautiful views of the picturesque old town of Heidelberg as night falls. We experience the dawning blueness of the night in the blue hour with the most beautiful views of the historic center of Heidelberg with the world-famous castle, the Old Bridge, the Heiliggeistkirche and the Neckar Valley.

Stroll with an experienced photographer along the Philosophenweg to the historic alleyways of the old town and let yourself be enchanted by the unique atmosphere. This photo walk gives you the opportunity to take breathtaking pictures of famous sights such as Heidelberg Castle and the Old Bridge. Take your time to capture the beauty of the city, discover unknown motifs and new perspectives and capture unforgettable memories. Under the guidance of an experienced photographer, you will discover creative photo techniques for extraordinary pictures. The Heidelberg at Night Photo Walk is an unforgettable experience for all photography enthusiasts.

The Photo Walk starts and ends at Neuenheimer Marktplatz (Ladenburger Straße 21, 69120 Heidelberg). The tour lasts approx. four hours, so that there is plenty of time to take photos and experiment at all of the motifs and you can try out your ideas creatively under expert guidance. We start around sunset. The walk is approx. 6 km long and includes some steep ascents and descents. You are also welcome to book the Heidelberg Photo Walk - Private Tour, in which we can tailor the route to your individual needs and only use flat paths.

We can safely store any luggage for you at the start and finish points. There is also a toilet available at the start and finish - but not on the way.

Equipment:
Bring your camera, which you feel comfortable with and are familiar with. The most beautiful sides of Heidelberg can be captured with a good cell phone camera as well as with an SLR camera with interchangeable lenses.
Ideally, you should have a camera on which you can set the aperture and shutter speed manually and which can cover a focal length range from wide-angle to telephoto (ideally 16 mm - 200 mm, but many pictures can also be taken at a medium focal length range). A tripod is necessary to take long exposures in the blue hour and in low light. A tripod with a ball head can also be hired for the tour by prior arrangement. A small flashlight or, if available, a headlamp is also necessary. Please bring comfortable, suitable footwear and weatherproof clothing for the tour and, if you wish, food and drink.
Please note that weather and light conditions cannot be influenced and therefore cannot be guaranteed.
