DIE HAUPTSTRASSE

Hauptstraße is an almost 2-kilometer-long pedestrian zone that crosses Heidelberg's Old Town from west to east. It is the main street of the Old Town and also the city's main shopping street. You can find almost everything in the Hauptstraße. There is even a kiosk where you can pick up books for free by handing in your old books to the next visitor. One of the sights not to be missed is the House of the Knight of St. George, a magnificent historic building facing south from the Church of the Holy Spirit.
