Heidelberg, Germany: Heidelberg Palace

One of the best surprises of our visit to Germany was the Heidelberg Palace. Now, after seeing a bunch of castles along the Rhine from a distance, it was a rush to get to be inside one. Still, this is a huge complex and incredibly impressive - one of the top destinations in the business.

The architecture is wonderful, dating back to something close to 1225. However, it took a pounding in 1764 and hasn't been the same since. What's left, though, is still impressive, thanks in part to a partial rebuild. Millions come every year to see it.

I have lots of photos of the place, but a video will give you a better idea of it.
