What is the nearest airport to Heidleberg?

Question

I'm planning to go there for a long week-end just before Christmas. Are there good markets there?

Answer 1

Heidelberg is placed roughly equidistant between Frankfurt and Stuttgart airports. Most people that arrive by plane will come through Frankfurt airport (which is the major hub for Lufthansa airlines). Frankfurt airport is a large and busy airport, but extremely well thought out and easy to find your way around. All signs are in German, English and graphics where possible. Frankfurt airport has two terminals. Terminal 1 is used by Lufthansa and its partners. Terminal 2 is used by all other airlines (including the charter airlines).

Heidelberg's Christmas market extends over no fewer than five squares: Kornmarkt, Marktplatz, Universitätsplatz, Anatomiegarten and Bismarckplatz. It is great for a leisurely browse and has stunning views of the castle and the old quarter with its beautiful Christmas decorations. A wide array of crafts and tasty regional delicacies all add to the Christmas spirit.
