The café and restaurant on the rooftop is delicious and offers a seasonal variety. The florist on the bottom, as well as the desserts are some of the best in the city! They have great sales and an endless selection, highly recommended!

It houses way more books than it looks like it was from the outside and has a really quaint and cozy bookstore vibe. The staff was also very polite and we were able to find some really interesting titles. As you would guess most of the titles are in German, but I was able to find many English versions as well. It's free to enter and I believe this is a must visit while in Heidelberg, especially for any reading fans.

They even had a whole bunch of VERY OLD books in English. Under the big table on the left side;…read morethree shelves - and more books behind those. Reasonable too. Minus one star because they're very very dusty. My eyes were itchy after.

I absolutely love this store and I always stop in whenever I'm visiting Europe!

Pylones is a French chain store, but it totally feels like you're stepping into a funky art gallery. Inside, it's colorful and vibrant, with all sorts of eye-catching merchandise and playful designs (think kitty cat shaped pizza cutters, naughty wine bottle stoppers, and cheerful floral scarves, among other things). It's like a handful of everyday objects that are transformed into functional art pieces that are fanciful and fun. As an artsy-fartsy person myself, trust me: this is THE place if you are looking for a unique gift that the creative in your life will absolutely adore. You cannot go wrong here. I purchased an adorable mini cheeseboard and knife set designed to resemble an artists palette, a frog tote bag, and a gorgeous oversized modern art scarf. I lugged that heavy cheeseboard set in my backpack-sized luggage all over Europe (worth it!), made everyday use of the tote bag at local markets, and wore the fashionable scarf to snazz up my outfit during my travels. As in the past, I am pleased with the quality and pricing on my goods. This location is right on the main drag in Heidelberg, and it's a cool place to browse if you are wandering the cobblestone streets and in need of a little retail therapy. This is the ideal place to buy a memorable and fun souvenir.
