Wine is part of everyday life in Heilbronn. Vineyards reach right into the city, creating a landscape where urban life and wine culture naturally belong together. Local wineries, traditional Besenwirtschaften and scenic vineyard trails invite visitors to experience the Württemberg wine region at its source.

The Neckar River adds a second layer. Waterfront promenades, riverside restaurants, new neighbourhoods built along the water: life here happens outdoors, all year round.

For visitors: Taste local wines, stroll the riverfront, watch the sun set from a vineyard terrace.

In 2027, Heilbronn will be European Green Capital—a recognition of the city's successful transformation towards sustainability. But visitors won't experience this through awards or statistics. They'll experience it in green public spaces, innovative urban design and a city that is constantly evolving.

Throughout the anniversary year, events, exhibitions and projects will show this future in action. Visitors won't just hear about sustainability in Heilbronn. They'll walk through it.

For visitors: Explore the green routes, join the 2027 events, see a city under transformation in real time.

Heilbronn is becoming one of Europe's leading locations for artificial intelligence. At the heart of this transformation is IPAI—the Innovation Park Artificial Intelligence. Companies, researchers and start-ups from around the world are building the next generation of AI together.

Just a short walk away, the Bildungscampus connects universities, research institutions and lifelong learning, creating one of Germany's most dynamic knowledge districts.

For visitors: Tour the Bildungscampus, see live AI showcases and exhibitions, watch a city build its future.
