Today, the kids and I headed up to visit that market for the first time. Marika and I met Rio downtown right after school, which meant he still had his backpack to carry around, so we did opt to take the funicular up the hill rather than hike up the various staircases. For reference, the funicular costs 6 euro for adults and 4 for kids and is a roundtrip ride.
There is no cost for the market itself. It is a smallish market, there simply is not a lot of room on the terrace, but it is a lovely little one. The stalls are white tents, with various colored glowing lights inside that lend a magical feel, and there are many lit trees scattered about.
Of course, we had to have crepes!
The castle was so lovely lit up with colored lights:
But the piece de resistance is the overlook of the city by night:
I am so glad we made the time to go up and check this out. I do recommend making your way up to the Castle Christmas Market if you happen to be in Heidelberg while it is open.
