Once a place becomes part of the tour packages, it apparently becomes a fixture and people ask for it. At least that's what I've been told by tourists about my current hometown Heidelberg, which is about as nice as a hundred other similar places in Germany and yet receives almost every Asian tourist in the country on a 10-day Europe package tour. Apparently the location is convenient too.

So its popularity is not really surprising. As far as cliché tourist destinations go you could do a lot worse. Certainly beats Frankfurt or Mannheim. Also, there is a funicular. Tourists love funiculars.
