Travel guide Koblenz
Wine, Hiking, Welcome!
To enjoy the charming landscape of the Moselle, the summer months are ideal. You will have ample opportunities to visit the Old Castle and other excursion destinations. Many attractions are not too far from your holiday accommodation. A special highlight is the cable car ride. From breathtaking heights, glide over the historical sights of Koblenz and perhaps catch a glimpse of your accommodation amidst the city's rooftops. From here, you will certainly admire the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley. Numerous tours along the extensive vineyards with a fantastic view of the Moselle and the Rhine are ideal for a
hiking holiday. The Deutsches Eck marks the confluence of the Moselle into the Rhine. On the artificial headland stands an equestrian statue of Emperor Wilhelm I. The Kaiser Wilhelm Monument is among the top 10 attractions and is within a short walk if your holiday accommodation is nearby. From your apartment, you have a magnificent view of the city. Rent your modern accommodation near the Deutsches Eck or the Electoral Palace. What matters is that you feel comfortable in your vacation apartment and have an unforgettable holiday in Rhineland-Palatinate. You decide the location of your stay and choose from many sleeping options offered by different providers.
Romance, Romans, and the Rhine!
Pure romance awaits you at the historical attractions along the riverbanks. Experience this especially during a river cruise. Drift leisurely past
Lahnstein, located five kilometers south of Koblenz, and visit Lahneck Castle. The fortress, perched on a 164-meter-high rocky spur from the 14th century, is a so-called spur castle. On the left side of the Rhine, Stolzenfels Castle stands majestically, living up to its name. The neo-Gothic castle and the picturesque landscape will captivate you instantly. Enjoy the comfort of your vacation apartment and spend cozy evenings in the heart of Koblenz's old town. Wander through the alleys of Lahnstein or find a quiet holiday home in Koblenz-Metternich to visit the attractions.
The section that falls under the watchful eye of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley is 65 kilometers long. The ancient Roman city is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The beauty of the region between Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia inspired poets, painters, and musicians. Take a moment to relax and admire the Rhenish Slate Mountains. Between Bingen and Koblenz, 40 castles, palaces, and fortresses await your discovery, including Stolzenfels Castle, which lies directly on the banks of the Rhine.
Discover with Heart and Enjoyment!
The status of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage is well deserved. The nucleus, Koblenz's old town, already provided a habitat for the Romans in 9 BC. Among the most beautiful attractions is Ehrenbreitstein Fortress from the 16th century, which also houses the State Museum. Whether you rent a vacation apartment with Wi-Fi in the center or prefer an apartment instead of a temporary house: Experience the lifestyle of the Koblenz residents. Sit in a café, in one of the picturesque courtyards, or follow the traces of the Romans. The best starting point for this is Münzplatz. Afterwards, visit the Electoral Palace. Built at the end of the 18th century, the palace served as the residence of the last Archbishop and Elector of Trier. Directly on the waterfront, you'll find the Old Castle, the former electoral water castle. The lowland castle dates back to the 13th century. You see: history and modernity shape the cityscape. No price is too high to preserve this piece of paradise. From your apartment, you might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the Moselle.
In Koblenz, Love Goes Through the Stomach First
If you rave about the urban beauty from your apartment in
Bad Ems over a glass of Riesling, where your holiday home stands, you are right. In
Rhineland-Palatinate, large areas are dedicated to viticulture. Surprisingly, even tropical fruits like lemons, melons, and kiwis grow here. You wouldn't think so while having a fruit salad in your holiday home in
Bernkastel-Kues, would you? On the menu in Lahnstein, Palatinate stuffed pig's stomach and onion tart are must-tries. Sample the regional specialties along the Rhine and the wholesome wines before retreating to your apartment. A culinary experience for your palate that is worth every price. A staple in the local cuisine is the potato. Dibbekuchen and Schupfnudeln or traditional dishes like Hoorige Knepp show how tasty the cuisine in Rhineland-Palatinate is. Preparing Schwenkbraten in your accommodation is challenging, as the meat is grilled over beechwood. Chestnut pudding makes a perfect dessert. Strengthened by this, look forward to a relaxed end to the day on the couch of your apartment in the center.
