I'm from the UK and have only visited Berlin in Germany. You've made me realise I need to go back and see other parts of the country. This really was a gorgeous city, and I just love the different vibe you get in Europe. Might travel solo like yourself, I know a little German, so hopefully enough to get by.
Welcome! People will like it if you speak German, however, most will speak English well enough if you get stuck. As long as you don't command them to ;)
You should totally try to visit some other places. Berlin is its own universe. It's not exactly an accurate representation of Germany, to say the least 😅 (speaking as a non-German person who's lived in Berlin for 2 years but also traveled a lot across the country). A little German goes a long way and everything is so well connected that you will have no problem doing a solo trip. Just vet a SIM card with data, usually pretty cheap, and you're golden.
Hi Joel, I wish you a wonderful time in Germany. I have been living in Heidelberg for over 40 years now. I fell in love with this city and still do today. The small streets, the Neckar river, the view of and from the castle... Great that you like it too. 😊 Btw. you can drink the water from the trap, it has good quality and has been tested.
You will get the same upset tummy when you back in the USA! your system is used to all the additives in the American food. That's why you had an upset tummy by eating food that's actually healthy. I have heard that more happening with American tourists. Enjoy your travels I think you are doing well. Greetings from the Netherlands. 😊
Nonsense? Sorry but normally your digestive system has to get use to different food when you eat abroad! That's a fact. Another fact is that in America they put a lot of additives in they're food that are not allowed in European food. His body will react to that! All this is very interesting to do a little resurge on.
1:37min - walking by the Ethnographic Museum (Völkerkundemuseum vPSt)! Interesting, also experimental, exhibitions and a beautiful garden with a terrace looking to the Neckar!
You're right, he passes the entrance from the "Völkerkundemuseum" in "Hauptstraße" (Mainstreet), with great exibitions and the beautiful garden that reaches all the way through to the river, nice view
@@Lily-Bravo Nope... Based on the wallpaper that was put up here, I would say the mid-70s, or 1977 at the latest. I still remember it very well from my childhood. The best decade, that the federal republic had in the 20th century...

Let's hope you don't miss any of this: "Heidelberg University, founded in 1386, is Germany's oldest and one of Europe's most reputable universities.[4] 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.[5] 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." Which, of course, you know, having well prepared your trip ...
Hello Joel. My German teacher picked Heidelberg as a subject for the class to study. I missed the trip there when I was learning German, but got a spare place to go later as I was trying to keep my language skills. I still remember the standard sentences about it. I later took my friend's younger cousin round to help with his study, while we were touring Europe, having met in Frankfurt. I know that walk and the one up the hill opposite. I was much younger and fitter. It was nearly forty years ago, but it looks just the same.
Good recommendation! It's also hyped by us folks, but for a reason! Bamberg is far more beautiful and it's definitely worth a visit (not saying Heidelberg generally isn't). And like your said your can visit a lot of other nice cities all near by: Würzburg, Nürnberg, Bayreuth, Rothenburg, Regensburg....
Man, that view in Heidelberg was beautiful! Great that you took that hike up the hill again! Please don't let yourself be deterred by that bad experience in Neuschwanstein. There are great, highly-recommendable castle tours in Germany. I've been to quite a few. Neuschwanstein is probably too overrun to give a good experience. Hope you could give the clothes you got back. Did you not try then on? So, is there a different between US S/M/L and GE S/M/L?
Guess this comment is already too late, but IF you're still in Heidelberg I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the restaurant "Schnitzelbank" in Heidelberg's old town. It has a gorgeous rustical interior and specializes in Schnitzel ;)
1:13 the poster you saw was for the 'Körperwelten' exhibition, it's an anatomy museum with dissected human bodies, animals and other anatomical structures of the body that have been preserved. If you take biology as your main subject at school (Bio LK), a visit there is quite common.
Greetings from a little town close Heidelberg. 1PM, 30°C and rising. I was sitting outside, but now it is getting too hot. Too hot to visit a town.

Heidelberg is so beautiful. I saw the view from the castle gardens at night, and the view of the city lights along the river reflected the Milky Way above. Magical!
The only time I've been to Heidelberg was on a field trip in 7th grade visiting the Sternwarte. The city and its people gave me the impression that it is a place where hipsters forage for beard oil. That was a bit weird, the rest was awesome. 8/10, would recommend and visit again! It's definitely a good choice to visit!
5:47 that view is gorgeous at night. Both the castle and the bridge are lit by golden floodlights, and the rest of the town lies in its varied lights, giving an overall yellowish glow.
One of the hazards of travelling is that you might be exposed to bacteria that you aren’t used to, but locals are immune to, so it wasn’t necessarily the food from Aldi. A fun fact about Aldi. The brothers who founded the store couldn’t agree on the future direction so they split the business in two - Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud, which both operate in Germany. The Aldi stores in the UK and US are operated by Aldi Sud.
If you visit that part of Germany at the First weekend of July you should see the Peter and Paul Fest in Bretten. It shows medieval life in the 16th century. Very interesting if you’re into history….and of course lots of beer.
Loved this. A very beautiful location you could visit one day is the Rhein River in the State of Rheinland-Pfalz. There are many routes one might take. For example, you could start at Cologne or Bonn with a car and drive alongside the River all the way to Wiesbaden, or even Frankfurt. There are not many big cities in between, but a lot of castles and beautiful nature. It's definitely one of the most beautiful locations in Germany
You are really living the German Life! Nice to see you are again in Germany, hope we see more from your journey 😀. I wish you a great time here in Deutschland
the poster is about an exhibition of dead bodies that have been preserved. I have been there and personally I thought it was amazing, if you have time definately worth a visit. Enjoy your trip
I loved my weekends in Heidelberg, the night life is fun and yes totally get you about the beer! Take the Rhine River tour if you get a chance….fantastic fun time. I was a little younger than you are right now when I was first Stationed there! Enjoy!!!
Yes, Rothaus is possibly the greatest German beer there is... I stopped in Heidelberg on the drive back to the UK from a 2 week MTB holiday in Austria. Only had half a day and a night there but it was great. Lots of American students Actually stayed at the hotel by the top station of the funicular train
I'm someone who bailed out after the Birmingham debacle, but it's good to come back and see that the quality of videos has improved massively in every way. Really good to see, so I'll hang around longer this time 👍
You should go to Rüdesheim am Rhein which is a gorgeous little village and also take the seilbahn to the top and enjoy the view over the Rhine and its wineries from the Niederwald Monument. Less than 90mins from Frankfurt.
That's the beauty of it:to visit the not-so-hotspots, if you really want to get a feel for a place/country. Next time I recommend to visit the coasts of the Northsea and Baltic Sea(in German:Ostsee) , Flensburg for rhe Baltic Sea and Sylt or some other Islands for the North Sea, or if you get realy bold visit a Warft!
I ❤ Heidelberg too‼️ I think food in different countries can have consequences 😂 soooo yes, drinks lots of water. Meeting local people adds to your travel experiences. *I also would rather live in Europe 😎👋😀🚵♀️✈️
Cologne is a wonderful city. The Dom (cathedral) is a sight to behold. Much of the city was destroyed in 1944-45, but the Dom was left standing. Cologne ha an excellent, world class symphony orchestra. I’ve been there a few times for the orchestra’s concerts but always made sure to have lots of time to visit the city. May favourite dish was a currywurst.
Seeing it through your eyes makes it even more special. The heights are terrifying yet stunningly beautiful 😂❤ your appreciation of my homecountry… Germany and Europe is so awesome. Make sure you check out the Czech Republic (prague) and hungary 🇭🇺 as well!!
Here's a tip when buying water when you can't read the label. Squeeze the bottle. If it soft and squeezy then it's non carbonated. If it's rock solid then it's pressurised with gas, fizzy.
maybe as an add-on info: that’s not standardised for all brands. But a lot of brands do it like that so it’s a super good tip, cause it makes it easier to reach for the right one on the shelf!
@@klugkluk Well, I'm Dutch. The main brand here is Spa. Spa Red is sparkling water and Spa Blue is still water So, to me it was kind of obvious: red or blue. btw We've got green bottles too 😉
Thanks 4 sharing your adventures and the vibes you're experiencing. I'm already sorry for you and all your subscribers when you have to go back to where you are from.
Germany has a lot of very scenic towns, most of them along a river. There are a few highlights, if you're looking for suggestions: Rüidesheim is quite nice. It has a very big monument on a hill with Germania on top of it. It is in honour of the re-establishment of the German Empire at the end of the 19th century.
You went up the hill TWICE??? I was exhausted after the first time. But the reward is the beautiful view. Heidelberg is a gem. Great to see you there American friend!
Great that you’ve like Heidelberg so far! It’s definitely one of the most beautiful cities here in Germany and it’s really a pleasure to live here in HD. You should try Heidelberger Bräu beer
Hello! 😊 I've already seen a few of your videos. I'm Slovenian with Croatian roots and I've been living in Germany for a long time. I know all the cities in Germany (and the Netherlands) that you've visited very well...I would suggest you to watch the videos about Slovenia and Croatia. All the Germans I know who have been there didn't want to come back again to Germany 😊 It's very clean there and the quality of the food from Slovenians and Croatians is incomparable to that from Germany (much better)...👍😊 You have much more to discover about the european countries as you currently know😊
I remember first time eating food, that was make with olive oil, was in Spain felt so sick, was a long time ago, and now I can't cooking food without olive oil, keep enjoying the food JP
Yo Joel if you are still in Heidelberg I highly suggest you dont miss Konningstuhl its a really awesome view above Heidelberg and if you are planning to see it at the sunset its more awesome, if you are interested I can guide you since I dont have anything to do this weekend anyway. Cheers
2:42 if u buy water bottles in shops in europe they got a red ore bleu label/cap, red is with bubbles and bleu is just the water you like. without bubbles. (pretty sure its for the most brands like this)
Can I just say how amazingly wholesome your comment section always is. (Maybe except for the couple people always complaining about Americans using cutlery lol)
There are only two towns that weren't bombed by the allies during WWII. Heidelberg was spared to serve as HQ after the war, and Quedlinburg wasn't on the list.
It's not unusual to get the runs when you visit other countries, even internally in Europe. It's a different bacteria/germ flora than you're used to all around you, so it's not necessarily anything wrong with the food. I wash or sanitize my hands like a maniac whenever I travel, because I tend to get stomach issues if I don't. I feel for you. I know how much it sucks!
We were in Heidelberg a few weeks ago, we did a 42 km Mammutmarsch (mammut walk) in and around the city with about 1000 metres altitude. check out some youtube videos on that topic. 😁
He should better read what's written on them. Because most waters have it exactly the other way round! *_Mit_*_ Kohlensäure / Sprudel_ = carbonated *_Ohne_*_ Kohlensäure_ = non-sparkling Bottles with words like _leicht sprudelnd, medium_ or _sanft perlend_ are *mildly carbonated.*
@@DavidNijman look, I'm not getting into an argument about this. The only safe way to know about what's in it is *reading the label and look for the words I mentioned in my previous comment.* It's totaly fine for me, if you refuse that, because I'm german and I know what I buy. My intention was to help others to avoid more negative experiences due to your comment. Do yourself the favor of a google picture search and see the results. _Rhönsprudel, Elisabethenquelle, Rewe, Ja, Gut&Günstig, Römerquelle, Evian, Geroldsteiner, tegut, Römeraqua, Hassia, Adelholzner, Quellbrunn_ *do it among many others like I wrote above.* While companies like _Vio, Teinacher, Krumbach, Apollinaris..._ *do it the way you said.* So I'm pretty sure my hint to *better follow the words on the label* was a good one. But everyone as it makes him happy.... fail and error is what some people need!!

Ah thats sweet from your mother! Next time you visit the Netherlands. I will meet you for a beer!
to get non-sparkling water, you have to look for a label “still“ or “stilles Wasser“
or
In the Netherlands you can rely on the color of the cap and label. Red = bubbles, blue = still. Seems like the Germans don't use that system though.

Yes, Rothaus is possibly the greatest German beer there is...
I stopped in Heidelberg on the drive back to the UK from a 2 week MTB holiday in Austria. Only had half a day and a night there but it was great. Lots of American students
Actually stayed at the hotel by the top station of the funicular train
I'm someone who bailed out after the Birmingham debacle, but it's good to come back and see that the quality of videos has improved massively in every way. Really good to see, so I'll hang around longer this time 👍
You should go to Rüdesheim am Rhein which is a gorgeous little village and also take the seilbahn to the top and enjoy the view over the Rhine and its wineries from the Niederwald Monument. Less than 90mins from Frankfurt.
That's the beauty of it:to visit the not-so-hotspots, if you really want to get a feel for a place/country. Next time I recommend to visit the coasts of the Northsea and Baltic Sea(in German:Ostsee) , Flensburg for rhe Baltic Sea and Sylt or some other Islands for the North Sea, or if you get realy bold visit a Warft!
I ❤ Heidelberg too‼️
I think food in different countries can have consequences 😂 soooo yes, drinks lots of water.
Meeting local people adds to your travel experiences.
*I also would rather live in Europe 😎👋😀🚵♀️✈️
That open space you´re walking at 5:36...that´s the place where I took LSD for the first time in my life back in the 90s... Viva Highdelberg!🤣
Welcome to my hometown 😍
Cologne is a wonderful city. The Dom (cathedral) is a sight to behold. Much of the city was destroyed in 1944-45, but the Dom was left standing. Cologne ha an excellent, world class symphony orchestra. I’ve been there a few times for the orchestra’s concerts but always made sure to have lots of time to visit the city. May favourite dish was a currywurst.
You should come to Freiburg, the green, sunny old town next to the Black Forest🌲🌞
you gotta see the worlds biggest wooden wine barrel inside the castle ruins. epic!
Seeing it through your eyes makes it even more special. The heights are terrifying yet stunningly beautiful 😂❤ your appreciation of my homecountry… Germany and Europe is so awesome. Make sure you check out the Czech Republic (prague) and hungary 🇭🇺 as well!!
Here's a tip when buying water when you can't read the label. Squeeze the bottle. If it soft and squeezy then it's non carbonated. If it's rock solid then it's pressurised with gas, fizzy.
You can drink tap wateror buy water Without gas inc. Every supermarket. It is called "Stilles Wasser".
So, my dear, stay in Germany. 😊
Love your reactions!
Thx for the picture 😂😂
5:03 Beautiful view!
I don't want to go back to the USA bro, made my day 🤣
6:40 This is the sky of my home-region. The center of the (my) world! 😉
Oh man, I could have given you a free trip around my home town
Joel, here's a tip: The Red water bottles are with gas, the Blue water bottles are without gas.
🔴Sparkling water. 🔵Still water.
maybe as an add-on info: that’s not standardised for all brands. But a lot of brands do it like that so it’s a super good tip, cause it makes it easier to reach for the right one on the shelf!
That must be a very regional or brand specific info. The water I usually buy is reverse, with red being still and blue sparkling 😅
Which brand should that be? Usually it's the other way round! While green being medium fizzy....
@@klugkluk same over here in Berlin
@@klugkluk Well, I'm Dutch. The main brand here is Spa. Spa Red is sparkling water and Spa Blue is still water So, to me it was kind of obvious: red or blue. btw We've got green bottles too 😉
Thanks 4 sharing your adventures and the vibes you're experiencing. I'm already sorry for you and all your subscribers when you have to go back to where you are from.
Germany has a lot of very scenic towns, most of them along a river. There are a few highlights, if you're looking for suggestions: Rüidesheim is quite nice. It has a very big monument on a hill with Germania on top of it. It is in honour of the re-establishment of the German Empire at the end of the 19th century.
You went up the hill TWICE??? I was exhausted after the first time. But the reward is the beautiful view. Heidelberg is a gem. Great to see you there American friend!
Great that you’ve like Heidelberg so far! It’s definitely one of the most beautiful cities here in Germany and it’s really a pleasure to live here in HD. You should try Heidelberger Bräu beer
Hello! 😊 I've already seen a few of your videos. I'm Slovenian with Croatian roots and I've been living in Germany for a long time. I know all the cities in Germany (and the Netherlands) that you've visited very well...I would suggest you to watch the videos about Slovenia and Croatia. All the Germans I know who have been there didn't want to come back again to Germany 😊 It's very clean there and the quality of the food from Slovenians and Croatians is incomparable to that from Germany (much better)...👍😊 You have much more to discover about the european countries as you currently know😊
I remember first time eating food, that was make with olive oil, was in Spain felt so sick, was a long time ago, and now I can't cooking food without olive oil, keep enjoying the food JP
Yo Joel if you are still in Heidelberg I highly suggest you dont miss Konningstuhl its a really awesome view above Heidelberg and if you are planning to see it at the sunset its more awesome, if you are interested I can guide you since I dont have anything to do this weekend anyway. Cheers
so welcome. I am living in the neighborhood.
In Heidelberg there is a very big Castle on a hill near the river. Its free to visit.
Glad you had some mates!
As a local in Heidelberg, for the Shawarma you shouldve gone to Sahara, which was like few ft away from the subway
Holy shit…. The view is amazing 😊
Your thumbnail for this vid is heart-stoppingly good...like damn!
2:42 if u buy water bottles in shops in europe they got a red ore bleu label/cap, red is with bubbles and bleu is just the water you like. without bubbles. (pretty sure its for the most brands like this)
Can I just say how amazingly wholesome your comment section always is. (Maybe except for the couple people always complaining about Americans using cutlery lol)
Guilty as charged, but it has to be said! I wouldn't have been first though.
@@Lily-Bravo 😂
There are only two towns that weren't bombed by the allies during WWII. Heidelberg was spared to serve as HQ after the war, and Quedlinburg wasn't on the list.
You should mind the different colors they use to determine the kind of water. Mostly red is with the gas, blue for normal water.
It's not unusual to get the runs when you visit other countries, even internally in Europe. It's a different bacteria/germ flora than you're used to all around you, so it's not necessarily anything wrong with the food. I wash or sanitize my hands like a maniac whenever I travel, because I tend to get stomach issues if I don't. I feel for you. I know how much it sucks!
I love Rothaus Tannenzäpfle!
We were in Heidelberg a few weeks ago, we did a 42 km Mammutmarsch (mammut walk) in and around the city with about 1000 metres altitude. check out some youtube videos on that topic. 😁
Good god that wall paper. What a nightmare if you’ve got a hangover
Hello Joel,
when was your trip to Heidelberg?
Now we have 30°C and ☀️
1:13 it’s a dead bodies exhibition by german physician Gunther von Hagens. „World of dead bodies“. It’s controversial
Absolutely! Very!
Yeah, they have been skinned. Looks like art, maybe it is.
@@armitage9204No, they have not. Maybe you should go and visit the exhibition.
you should visit Heidelbergs Christmas market
Water bottles with a red cap usualy contains gas...buy the blue cap instead ;-)
He should better read what's written on them. Because most waters have it exactly the other way round!
*_Mit_*_ Kohlensäure / Sprudel_ = carbonated
*_Ohne_*_ Kohlensäure_ = non-sparkling
Bottles with words like _leicht sprudelnd, medium_ or _sanft perlend_ are *mildly carbonated.*
@@mariokrings Nope.. red is carbonated in most countries and check the video, he has a red cap bottle ;-)
@@DavidNijman look, I'm not getting into an argument about this. The only safe way to know about what's in it is *reading the label and look for the words I mentioned in my previous comment.*
It's totaly fine for me, if you refuse that, because I'm german and I know what I buy. My intention was to help others to avoid more negative experiences due to your comment.
Do yourself the favor of a google picture search and see the results.
_Rhönsprudel, Elisabethenquelle, Rewe, Ja, Gut&Günstig, Römerquelle, Evian, Geroldsteiner, tegut, Römeraqua, Hassia, Adelholzner, Quellbrunn_ *do it among many others like I wrote above.* While companies like _Vio, Teinacher, Krumbach, Apollinaris..._ *do it the way you said.*
So I'm pretty sure my hint to *better follow the words on the label* was a good one. But everyone as it makes him happy.... fail and error is what some people need!!
In Germany it's the other way round for most brands
Red cap? My water bottles with CO2 are blue. It depends on the manufacturer.
1:00 returning items, good luck
Probably not a problem.
Oh yaaaaa Jps, yaaaaaaaaaaa!
