New in Heidelberg, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Heidelberg — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Heidelberg is Germany's oldest university town and draws students from all over the world. The combination of its baroque castle, the Neckar promenade and the legendary old-town bar mile Untere Straße (the 'Untere' for short) makes Heidelberg one of Germany's liveliest student cities. From castle illuminations to international semester parties, the density of events here is second to none.
