I am looking for a cheap place to stay in Heidelberg and any ideas for things to do while in Heidelberg?

Hi Eric,
... the above link may help you locate a Zimmer Frei (room to let in a private residence). Just copy the link with your mouse and paste it into your Internet search box. Then, touch the ENTER key on your computer's keyboard... voila! ... and good luck.. P
This hostel seems pretty reasonably priced and sounds like it is clean:

What time of year are you planning on going? The castle there is worth seeing.
How about a day trip to Mt. Dilsberg, a medievel walled town sitting on top of a mountain overlooking the Neckar river valley? From downtown Heidelberg take a boat up the river to Neckargemünd and from there it's about an hours hike up to Dilsberg. Here's a panoramic view of the area: http://www.abw-3d.de/dilsberg/panorama ... Just click on the picture. Unfortunately they've got no information in English...
