Heidelberg Travel Insurance

Even though Heidelberg is relatively safe compared to other German cities, you still need to take extra care of your belongings and you should always be on guard everywhere you go. Pick-pocketing and theft are the major problems here, especially in the busy areas. Students often have their bikes stolen, so if you decide to rent a bike, make sure you lock your bike at one of the stands when you park.

Heidelberg has a very low level of crime and the weather does not get too hot, so sunstroke and dehydration are not common complaints here. However, to be on the safe side, carry a bottle of water with you everywhere you go and put on sunscreen if the sun is too strong for your skin. For healthcare, EU citizens will need to ensure they have a means of covering any medical attention. Taking out travel insurance is the best way to ensure that you will get healthcare attention. Low-cost airlines such as Ryan Air offer budget travel insurance for as little as £10.
