Heidelberg is a scientific hub in Germany and home to several internationally renowned research facilities adjacent to its university, including the European Molecular Biology Laboratory and four Max Planck Institutes. The city has also been a hub for the arts, especially literature, throughout the centuries, and it was designated a “City of Literature” by the UNESCO Creative Cities Network.

  4. I lived just outside of downtown Heidelberg for 4 years when I was a teenager and loved it. The castle, old church, and Roman bridge are iconic. My photos were taken before digital cameras. I certainly don't miss the trouble of winding film or running out of film. Now I live in South Africa. My blog is Amanda's Books and More. Thanks for the blog hop!
