By train 

For visitors from France, in particular from Paris to Mannheim, using the train (TGV or ICE) is most convenient way to come to Heidelberg. It takes about 3 hours (running every hour), which means that using a plane will not be faster. From the airport you may sometimes need to change the train in Mannheim to Heidelberg (which is around 20 km away).

From the main station in Heidelberg you better take a taxi (takes approximately 5 mins) or you take the tram line R65 or 5R in the direction to Mannheim and get off the tram at the second stop, "Berufsschule" (takes approximately 3 mins). From there you can walk right and then left to Wieblinger Weg.

Please check the  train timetable for more details.
