Heidelberg - is associated with student life, picturesque side streets, quiet pubs and, needless to say, with Heidelberg Castle along with its architecturally significant bridge. The famous castle illuminations and fireworks (Jun 6th, Jul 11th and Sept 5th 2009) brighten the dark summer sky.
Romantic Black Forest Towns - like Freiburg, Gengenbach or Titisee-Neustadt, are surrounded by dense forest, bright mountain tops and peaks with spectacular views, mysterious glacial lakes and lush valleys and ideal starting points for outdoor activities like hiking, biking or skiing.
Stuttgart - with the opening of the new Porsche Museum, Stuttgart enhances its reputation as the centre of the German automotive industry. But the city is also famous for its events, like the beer festival Cannstatter Wasen (Sept 25th to Oct 11th) or the Stuttgart Wine Village (Aug 26th to Sept 6th).
