Workation in Heidelberg: the essentials
About a quarter of Heidelberg's 163,000 inhabitants are students, and Germany's oldest university, founded in 1386, still sets the rhythm. The red castle ruin looks down on the Old Bridge and the long Hauptstrasse, and the Philosophenweg across the Neckar is the classic escape from the tour groups. Research institutes such as the DKFZ, and SAP in nearby Walldorf, bring an international crowd, with coworking around Bergheim and the new passive-house district of Bahnstadt. The housing market is tight, particularly around the start of semester. Frankfurt Airport is about 70 km north.
