Arena
Sights & Landmarks
Step into the vibrant world of Lanxess Arena, a colossal indoor venue in Cologne that can accommodate up to 20,000 people. This architectural marvel is supported by a striking steel arch and hosts an array of events, from sports competitions to electrifying concerts. The arena's bustling atmosphere is filled with the excitement of crowds, occasional bursts of confetti, and the invigorating scent of live entertainment.
I came here to watch DRAKE IN CONCERT, it was great security was very helpful. I was a bit late to collect my ticket, the ticket office was still open well after 21:00, made it there around 21:40 and it was still open the workers are really kind and thoughtful. I ended up in one of VIP booths by invite, amazing service.
Seaheng ( — Google review
It was quite nice, i had a lounge ticket, the food and booze was really good although i wished they had a better strategy managing the crowd getting inside, the lines were crazy, also most of the staff were pretty much clueless about everything. On more thing that made me wonder was that i was there for TØP concert and they were playing Imagine Dragons and other bands outside which i find weird, also that the other venues had really nice Posters and everything hanging outside, they did not really have anything, for a fully sold concert!!!! But overall the sound and the whole technical experience was great.
Tara A — Google review
Surely one of the best arenas in Germany for sports, concerts and large live events. Parking spaces available at a fee. Very good acoustics and stage show. The real weakness is the catering concept inside the arena. There are various stores with soft drinks and coffee etc. inside the arena. Unfortunately most of the offered food is fast food. This is not pleasant during events over several days. At the same time, it is forbidden to bring your own (healthy) food. Sometimes there were additional stores with alternative food outside the hall . However, this probably depends on the event. The staff were mostly friendly and helpful. Some of the catering stores closed already before the event ended. Within the arena, the view is very goof from all sides of the "Unterrang". There were are also enough large screens.
Torsten C — Google review
A great place to watch concerts! We saw Sting 3.0 in October 25 and it was amazing! All clean and organized, plenty of personnel to support and orient! Acoustics is really good and the in and out were really fast!
Andre D — Google review
Great stadium. Easy walking to/from city centre. Easily signposted which entrance to use. I was a bit disappointed with the security, would have preferred tighter checks - just a quick handbag check for me, nothing for my husband. Great design internally so there's not too many people using the same staircase. We had the highest seats but still a great view. Didn't buy any food/drink so can't comment.
Pam H — Google review
Fantastic experience. The facility is modern, efficient and comfortable. The effort made to generate a heghtened sense of excitement before the game was first class. Attention to inviting fan engagement via video highlights was also welcomed. Note: There can be some line of sight issues when viewing a hockey game.. this results from the presence of protective railings at 600 and 700 seat levels.
James B — Google review
Overall good, but.. our group had 12 tickets in lodge; whole lodge was 16 seats; And it was 18 people inside! Somehow catering was for 6 persons only, and those 2 random persons were first in our lodge, and as a result part of our group didn’t get some of the food. I hope it will be investigated. Just to be clear: we had random people in our lodge before, but didn’t complain, because they entered right when concert started and didn’t bother us.
Margarita — Google review
Beautiful arena, great sound and friendly staff - I was really happy with my visit! (since everybody was looking for the seat numbers: they are at the bottom of the seats, hidden slightly beneath the cover fabric)

Cologne Triangle

Mentioned on 
18 lists 
Observation deck
Sights & Landmarks
The Cologne Triangle, a striking modern office building in the Deutz district, features an impressive observation deck that stands 103 meters above the ground. This vantage point offers visitors breathtaking 360-degree views of Cologne and its iconic Rhine River. For just a small fee, you can ascend to this sky-high platform either by lift or via stairs for those seeking a bit of exercise. The experience is particularly magical at dusk when the city lights begin to twinkle below.
Great way to enjoy a 360° view of the city of Cologne. The entrance ticket costs 5€, you then take an elevator for 29 floors and arrive on the roof of the skyscraper. Unfortunately there are protection glasses so it's not easy to take good pictures. I think that the panorama give its best at night.
Francesco X — Google review
The ticket is just 5 euros and you go up 28 floors pretty fast. It’s just 10-15 mins walk, across the bridge. And totally worth it. Could be windy there so carry a jacket.
Priyanka G — Google review
Fantastic 360° view of Cologne. Very cheaply priced and is open all throughout the day. Highly recommend coming here if walking up the 500+ steps to the top of Cologne Cathedral's South Tower just isn't for you.
Luke B — Google review
Highly recommended! Open until 10 PM in the summer (Friday and Saturday). If you go from 9 PM until closing, you'll see it both in the morning/sunset and in the evening. This is also plenty of time, since there's no bar or other seating.
Tim B — Google review
If you’re in Cologne and wanna catch the best city views, KölnTriangle is the spot for that. This place gives you a 360-degree panoramic view of the city, and trust me, it looks absolutely stunning, especially at night. The Cologne Cathedral shines like a gem, and the Rhein River just adds to the magic. It’s a chill place to just soak in the skyline and snap some killer photos. Go in the evening when the city lights up it’s a whole vibe ..! (: Ticket cost 5€
Anıl K — Google review
View point which gives the classic panorama of cologne including the cathedral, the rhine river and the hohenzollernbrücke bridge. Is it worth going up for 8 euro? Probably not but what else are you going to do in cologne?
Jack P — Google review
This is a great alternative option to see the city from high or having to climb the steps of the cathedral bell tower. There was no queue when we arrived, 5euros for a ticket, get on the lift to the 28th floor and your free to roam around the top. Great views and really sheltered from the weather with super high glass barriers. It's a great place to get away from the noise of the city. They do not allow suitcases but were fine with rucksacks. Great value and 100% must visit.

Great St. Martin Church

Mentioned on 
+45 other lists 
Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the vibrant Old Town of Cologne, Germany, Great St. Martin Church is a stunning Romanesque masterpiece that dates back to between 1150 and 1250. This architectural gem stands as one of the city's most significant landmarks, showcasing its impressive design and unique features like the clover leaf-shaped choral area and a striking passage tower. Originally built on a Rhine River island, this church has endured destruction and reconstruction over centuries, absorbing various stylistic influences along the way.
Fantastic church very close to the riverfront area; not as detailed architecture as the Cologne cathedral, but still has it's own uniqueness.
Mat B — Google review
Beautiful Romanesque church in the heart of Old Town Cologne. A visit to Great St. Martin Church is not just about admiring its architecture—it's about stepping into a piece of history that has shaped the city's skyline for centuries

St. Martin's Church is one of the three most beautiful cathedrals in Cologne. It can be a starting point for a walk along the embankment
Valeriy V — Google review
It’s a beautiful and historic church tucked away in the heart of Cologne’s Old Town. Its Romanesque architecture with striking towers and a warm stone facade stands out against the backdrop of the Rhine River. But honestly, it looks pretty ordinary compared to the Cologne Cathedral. It’s worth a quick stop, but don’t expect anything as grand or jaw dropping as the cathedral. The surrounding area, however, is calm and relaxing, with plenty of benches where you can sit and enjoy the view of the Rhine River and the charm of the Old Town.
Dwi F — Google review
Great St. Martin is one of the beautifully restored romanesque churches in the city after it was almost completely destroyed during WW II. Part of the tower was originally integrated into the old city wall fortifications. The inside is kept very simple with only a few classical religious works of art on display. Currently, a newer monastic community resides at the church, and its members hold their daily prayers of the hours in the church.
Michael S — Google review
Another beautiful Romanesque church in central Cologne. It dates back to around 1200 and has a large crypt with ancient Roman excavations, which can be visited (€1).
The F — Google review
An important part of the Cologne Rhine panorama. History fans can compare "today" with the pictures from 1945. It's hard to find the right words. Only open at restricted times.
Perseus H — Google review
As you look from the opposite side of the Rhine, three buildings immediately stand out - the cathedral, the town hall and this magnificent romanesque church. The "current" church was built between 1150 and 1250 although it had to be almost completely restored after World War Two and only reopened in 1985.

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Heumarkt is a well-known historical landmark located in Cologne, Germany. It features a spacious cobblestone plaza that is lined with cafes and restaurants, making it an ideal spot for entertainment and dining. The highlight of this location is the annual Christmas market, known as Weihnachtsmarkt Kolner Altstadt / Heimat der Heinzel which attracts many tourists during the holiday season.
I've been in this square a few days after New Year's Eve and the beautiful Christmas market that they build here annually was still there. You can find a lot of very nice wooden stalls selling drinks and food (the classics Bratwurst and Glühwein), but also some ice lanes where people play curling and a ice rink where children can ice skate.

First time visit to Cologne specifically for cathedral and Christmas market. The market did not disappoint. Plenty of food and drink choices along with authentic German holiday shopping. Throughout market there were musicians dressed as Dickens characters, very cool! Highly recommend visit...

Great fun Christmas market. My favourite out of all the ones in Cologne. There were gnomes everywhere. The ice skating was fun and not much of a queue. Really nice food stalls and a bar that had an upstairs looking out onto the ice rink

Visiting the Cologne Christmas Market in 2021 was a magical experience! The festive decorations, twinkling lights, and beautifully adorned tree ornaments created a warm holiday atmosphere. Strolling the charming streets, sipping mulled wine, and enjoying local treats made it our favorite place to embrace the December spirit! 🎄✨❤️
Codry H — Google review
A must see market!!!! Depending on the day, it could be very crowded with locals and tourists. The ice skating rink throughout the market was so cool to see and the curling lanes at the one end of the market was a nice surprise. The Glühwein stalls are everywhere and we ended up getting some incredibly delicious cheese and meat for our train ride home. They let you sample a lot of the foods before you buy them. There are restrooms on the side of the market where the ice rink is.

House of the History of the Federal Republic of Germany

Mentioned on

Museum
History Museums
The House of the History of the Federal Republic of Germany, or Haus der Geschichte, is a captivating museum located in Bonn that delves into the complex narrative of post-war Germany. Opened shortly after Berlin regained its status as the capital, this museum offers an extensive exploration from World War II's aftermath to Germany's reunification.
By the time I visited, only the exhibition about second world war was open to visitors, the rest was under construction they said. You can find sections divided generation by generation. Very informative readings, interactive medias and striking photos take you through the near history from that times’ perspective. I love the way the content presented in a very objective. Definitely a museum to visit to grasp a different perspective on that era. I only wish there were more source books also in English as well.
Uğur I — Google review
The exhibition atm is smaller than expected. The upper floors were under construction & the lowest floor was about Roman period. After Hilter exhibition is on the ground floor. Educates you about Germany after WWII and quite informative on historical events that remain relevant to today's unfortunate time. Their cafe is pricey but the museum's admission is free, staff are friendly, and their lounge is perfect for students or remote work - quiet and modern. I would love to come back for the other parts of the museum.
Sophia A — Google review
For understanding modern German history in Bonn, I think this is a great place; it presents the period from post-war years up to reunification in a clear, chronological way, plus it’s free to visit and very easy to reach. Unfortunately, when we went, the permanent exhibition was under renovation, so we couldn’t see the main display and only visited the temporary exhibitions. Still, the atmosphere and overall organization were nice; for those planning a visit, I’d recommend checking on the official website in advance to see whether the permanent exhibition is open.
Cihan E — Google review
I must see when in Bonn - definitely buy tickets in advance. When we were there, There was low traffic and the museum is currently being re-organised but it is definitely worth it. The café is nice. We had cake and coffee there which was a nice early afternoon / mid afternoon break And lots of history that you just were not really aware of. I must see when in Bonn

Schloss Drachenburg

Mentioned on 
25 lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Schloss Drachenburg is a 19th-century villa that resembles a medieval castle and offers stunning views of the Rhine valley. It was built between 1882 and 1884 by Baron Stephan von Sarter, drawing inspiration from the romantic architecture of medieval castles along the Rhine River. The design incorporates Neo-Gothic, Romanesque, and Renaissance elements.
Beautiful castle, phenomenal views, friendly staff at the ticket office, on the Drachenfelsbahn and at the castle. The castle has been beautifully maintained and is in pristine condition. I particularly loved the stained glass and how each section gave one the opportunity to step back in time, surrounded by so much history. The gardens are also perfectly manicured, lovingly maintained and give one a sense of peace. A truly awesome experience

What a gorgeous castle. We stopped in on our way to Cologne. The little train tram was fun. The many stained glass windows were so cool. The little cafe was good, we got tea and coffee and snacks. Views were amazing.

A truly beautiful castle, high in the mountains, you either need to walk 40 minutes up a steep slope, or buy a ticket for a small train for 10 euros. Entrance to the castle costs 10 euros, you can buy it at the castle itself, you have access to the area around the castle and the castle itself, there are free toilets, places to eat and a restaurant, there are a lot of people. I advise you to carefully review the route in advance.
Sofia M — Google review
Went on a weekend, through the funicular costs 12 euro for adults and 6 euro for kids, better to buy combi tickets if you are visiting with family. The castle 🏰 was maintained well, and entry cost 10 euro for adults and 8 euro for kids. The Rhine river was so beautiful from the castle. A must visit place if you're visiting near colonge and Bonn.
Aravinth — Google review
The castle was incredibly beautiful and everything inside was just stunning and mind blowing. I love the fact that some known people and artists were painted on the windows in the main room. You should definitely visit it and no need to buy tickets online because you can buy them from there directly and the ticket for person was only 10€.
Aseel D — Google review
Truly a beautiful place to visit, the view from atop is stunning and the inside is just as nice as outside. For the price of 10 euro it's definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Getting there is a bit harder you can walk what we did but the road is very steep tho doable. there is also a train that goes up a 2 way ticket costs 12 euros (1 way ticktet costs 10)

It was wonderful holidays in Drachenburg Schloss. A have already visited a lot of castles and palaces in Germany and this one was one the best: amazing views, incredible architecture, beautiful interiors 🤩 The staff here was polite and helpful, thank you so much ☺️ You need approximately 3 hours for this place: to look everything, to walk around and to make photos 📷. ❗️This place, of course, deserves you time to visit it.

Drachenfels is a famous hill known for its vineyards, a historic cog railway, and the remnants of a medieval castle. It's a popular spot for tourists looking to explore the area. The hill offers stunning views and is surrounded by picturesque landscapes. Visitors can also enjoy dining at various restaurants in Koenigswinter, offering diverse cuisines and dining experiences.
Wonderful place to be for an escape from a busy week. The view of the river from the hill top is magnificent along with centuries old history of the ruined castle.

A beautiful place with a nice overlooking view. There are two ways to reach the castle ruins: you can either hike up or take the oldest cogwheel railway in Europe. Both options offer a great experience.

Unbelievable, If you are in the area you have to see it! Great views and a great hike or train ride.

It’s a beautiful castle. But it’s small on the inside just 2 floors and a little tower on the side so ur done pretty quickly. And for the price €25 for a family ticket it’s pricey.
Linn R — Google review
It‘s definitely worth a visit, the place is nice and spacious. We chose to go up with the tram mainly because of the children but i would recommend to take the trail hiking up instead. It was cold and windy sitting outside (for a snack/beer/coffee/ Curry Wurst, .etc) but then you get the beautiful Sunset view.

Train up. Hike down if your legs are good. Rich history. Beautiful views.

One of the most beautiful views of the city. A must visit if you are around Bonn or Köln. 💯 You can either hike or take the 140-year old Cogwheel train. Fantastic experience!

(Translated by Google) When the weather is good and especially in summer it is always quite full, but the fantastic view makes up for it and the food is generally quite decent. Nice route for running or alternatively taking the cog railway, which is also a great experience for the little ones. (Original) Bei gutem Wetter und insbesondere im Sommer immer recht voll, dafür entschädigt die fantastische Aussicht und die Gastronomie ist in der Regel auch ganz passabel. Schöne Wegstrecke zum Laufen oder alternativ mit der Zahnradbahn, was auch für die Kleinen ein tolles Erlebnis ist.

(Translated by Google) Parking costs about 8 euros per day. I thought about 50 cents per half hour. Enough parking space and enough vending machines. Only pay by pin. NB. The train goes up every half hour. Maybe more often in high season, I don't know. (Original) Parkeren kost ongeveer 8 euro per dag. Ik dacht 50 cent per half uur ongeveer. Genoeg parkeerplaats en genoeg automaten. Betalen alleen met pin. Let op. Treintje gaat elk half uur naar boven. Misschien in hoogseizoen vaker, dat weet ik niet.

Seilbahn Koblenz

Gondola lift station
Transportation

The Seilbahn Koblenz, also known as the Koblenz Cable Car, is a seasonal gondola lift that takes visitors from the riverfront up to the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. This modern cable car offers breathtaking aerial views of the Rhine and Moselle rivers, as well as Koblenz's historic landmarks and surrounding landscapes. It's a must-visit for anyone looking for panoramic vistas and a unique regional perspective.
Excellent way to get to the top of the city. Great views all the way through. Highly recommend to all to take this short ride to see the city, the rivers, and a quick access to the fort atop the hill. The cabins are large, seats are well placed for viewing on all sides, and the entire system is very well maintained.
Nandan H — Google review
An excellent way to reach the summit of the city, offering breathtaking views throughout the journey. I highly recommend this short ride to experience the stunning vistas of the city and rivers, as well as quick access to the fort atop the hill. Please note that there is a cost of €15 per person to reach the top, with additional fees required to enter the fort, making it quite a significant expense for a brief visit. We did not go into the fort due to the pricing during the Christmas period. The cabins are spacious, with seating strategically placed for optimal viewing from all angles, and the entire system is impeccably maintained. Additionally, cable car 17 features a unique glass bottom, allowing for an unparalleled perspective from below the carriage.

‼️TOURIST TRAP ‼️ 15 euro per person to go up, once up there is nothing to do, wan’t to see the castle? pay more! Just avoid this, it’s a 5 minute ride which is overpriced.
Koen B — Google review
Most interesting thing to do during your visit to Koblenz. Cable car connecting the city side next to Deutsche Eck to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. The ride is worth it for the spectacular panoramic view of the of the city down as well as that of the mighty Rhien in both the directions which is always busy with the boats and ferries running up and down. It is recommended to have the combined ticket with Ehrenbreitstein Fortress entrance.

Friendly staff and beautiful view. Between April and July go after 17h, it is cheaper.

Amazing experience! It is a very modern seilbahn and of course it costs more than the regular seilbahn but the view compensates all. I suggest to park the car on the mountain first (there is a big parking lot next to the fort) and go down with the seilbahn to enjoy the city center without any stress about your car. Wagon 16 has a glass window in its floor so the experience gets even better.
Beata J — Google review
Everyone should try this Cable Car if you visit Koblenz - Germany. You can see such a beautiful views and it’s wonderful. This Cable Car is safety and the price is worth it. When you already in the hill, you can enjoy first the place above or walk around for couple of minutes/ hours before you going back down.
Uchi T — Google review
Runs at weekends during off peak times, which are October to early April. We paid EUR31 for a family ticket which is up to 2 adults and 4 children. This included admission to the fortress at the top. Be warned that there's lots of walking if you want to see everything and maybe not so great for under 5s. The playground at the top worked well for us.

Ehrenbreitstein Fortress

Mentioned on

Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, located 118 meters above the Rhine River, is a significant historical site in Koblenz. The fortress houses the state museum of antiquities and hosts special exhibitions and war memorials. Accessible via a cable car ride from Deutsches Eck, visitors can enjoy stunning views during the ascent to the fortress. Originally built in the 11th century, it has been destroyed and exchanged between various powers over centuries.
If you wouldn’t know you would think you are in Italy. Such a fantastic fortification, great history, great building complex, fabulous exhibitions, although there could be more explanations in English, (for example the videos in the wine exhibition with subtitles). Grey views, great restaurant a must see when in this area.
Hans-Lothar H — Google review
Our tour guide was in Character as a British spie. He walked us through as if we were an invading army. The fort and its design is very impressive. The walls are 4 meters thick.
Joseph C — Google review
Ehrenbreitstein Fortress offers great views of Koblenz and the wider area. It's also good value, especially when you get the combined ticket with the cable car. The exhibitions are interesting, particularly the one on the fort's history and the archaeological finds, and the show in the excavation area was a highlight. However, the layout of the fortress is quite confusing and could use better signposting. It was also a shame that one of the media-focused areas was closed during my visit, and I also accidentally missed the wine exhibition. All in all, it's an enjoyable place to visit, but a better layout would certainly improve the experience.
Tim B — Google review
Visited the fortress and the grounds outside, the fortress is massive, with so much to see, I didn't have an audio guide, this would have been beneficial, as a lot of exhibits only had an explanation in German. I believe a visit to the fortress, plus the cable car for 21 euros is a real bargain. Can recommend
Mick P — Google review
Apart from the history and the view, there is nothing much to see really. Compared to the entrance fee is expensive. Just the cable ride alone with the view point is sufficient to see.
Pasan S — Google review
Pretty nice place to visit with great views. Expensive to get in especially considering most of the tunnels are closed and the museum section has limited hours. Still, worth the visit.

Impressive castle, with nice courtyards for walking, great view over Koblenz. You have few coffee bars and get toneode with the cable car
Marin V — Google review
This castle isn't exactly a must-visit. It's actually a former barracks used by the German army in the late nineteenth century. 🚠 The funicular ride costs 15 euros and is a glass capsule with some dirty windows. The views are decent, but the ride isn’t comfortable at all. 💶 Entrance to the castle is 10 euros, but all you really get is a view of the Rhine. Most of the buildings are just empty concrete walls—there's hardly anything to see. 🧑‍🏫 It might be interesting for a historian studying the German army of that era, but if that’s not your thing, you can definitely find better ways to spend 2 hours and 25 euros. 🆓 Just a heads-up - entrance seems to be free after 6 PM, though there are no signs to inform visitors about that.

Deutsches Eck, also known as the German Corner, is a picturesque headland in Koblenz, Germany where the Rhine and Moselle rivers meet. At this historic site stands a 37-meter high equestrian monument of Kaiser Wilhelm I. The city of Koblenz itself is over 2000 years old and is surrounded by beautiful low mountain ranges. It serves as an excellent starting point for exploring the UNESCO World Heritage area of the Rhine Valley and the Mosel Valley.
Definitely worth a visit, probably one of the largest statues in Europe. There is lots in the surrounding areas, cafes just behind. There is access to the fortress within a 5 minute walk and the old town is only a 7 minute walk A must see if visiting the area
Tom B — Google review
Great and large statue with huge area for people to stand, sit, walk by and eat/drink at the numerous food stalls in the vicinity. Nice place and area beside the Moselle (Mosel) river flowing into the Rhine river. Koblenz is very nice river city in Germany not very far from Border city Trier or the country Luxembourg by train.

Deutsches Eck is an absolutely stunning place to visit! The meeting point of the Rhine and Moselle rivers offers breathtaking views, especially at sunset. The atmosphere is peaceful, and there’s a real sense of history surrounding the monument. The area is beautifully maintained, perfect for a relaxing walk or taking photos. It’s also a great spot to sit and enjoy an ice cream while watching the boats pass by. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this iconic landmark is truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!

If you are visiting Koblenz, this is a must-see place. It's in all honesty nothing that spectacular. The monument (covered elsewhere) is, but this is just a lovely bit of space, made extra special as it's the confluence of the two rivers. Just take time to appreciate the views of the water, the castle, and of course the (spectacular) monument.
Phil B — Google review
It's worth visiting. You can see the colour difference of Rein and Mossel coming together at this place, go with a cable car to the fortress (a lot of expositions included in the entrance ticket. The view of Koblenz from the fortress is very nice.

Ifat ( — Google review
We had a nice visit of the cellar. After that we enjoyed tasting few wines and bought more than dozen bottles of riesling and pinot noir. Arrived at home, we opened two of the six riesling "S" we got. Both of them presented a sour sparkling presence (it should be a still wine!!!) which was not present in the wine we tasted at the winery, which was totally smooth and nicely mineral. Most likely the wine they sold us had an unintended fermentation in the bottles resulting in CO2 generation. After calling the winery to complain, they refused to refund for the faulty bottles.
Matteo S — Google review
It's an old, nice winery, good for keeping wine and for buying, but not for staying(imagine how is the host stays there for the whole day, it's so cold). The level of flooded water can be seen on the wall even after the year passed. But they didn't stop and continue produce nice wine for us.

Maria Laach Abbey

Romanesque-style Benedictine abbey, founded in 1093, with towers, a porch & 16th-century murals.
Beautiful abbey! It’s an absolute must visit. Take the tour of the abbey and the library. The guided tours are full of information and we did ours with kids and it was great. There’s so much to see for the kids that it doesn’t get boring. There’s plenty of parking and from there it’s a short walk to the abbey. There’s a hotel and enough restaurants for everyone’s taste and budget. There’s also a garden shop and an abbey shop with lots of art, books and trinkets. Like other reviews have said: it’s a bit touristy. However, the place is fairly large so when we went on a Sunday, it was packed but not unbearable. Plus there’s plenty of hiking around and a lake, so if it gets too much you can go take a break in nature.

A place of strength, faith, and love ✨ Truly breathtaking! A live organ concert here is an unforgettable experience. The powerful sound resonates through the space, sending shivers down your spine. I highly recommend taking a guided tour (be sure to book in advance). You’ll get to immerse yourself in the cathedral’s atmosphere, explore its stunning library, and learn more about its rich history and present-day significance.

Additionally, there is a delightful garden center close to the monastery, offering a wide array of items.

Beautiful abbey, with free entrance. You can’t take pictures inside. The surroundings are gorgeous and so peaceful!… You can visit the greenhouse and also buy some local products, which look great. The parking nearby, by the lake, is also easy to find with Google Maps and it’s very cheap (1 euro and we stayed there for 1-1h30?). You can also take a hike around the lake, but at this time of the year (March) it is still very muddy and quiet. Apparently you can rent boats and do other activities during summer time. It’s a wonderful place and not far from Koblenz.

This is a tourist destination for a diverse audience. It was founded in 1093 and stands today as a beautiful cloister in a setting that is a combination of mountains and a lake carved by volcanic activity with farming and lots of locally produced goods. There is a 10km hike around the lake. I saw lots of fall colors, but it was clear that in summer there are lots of lake activities and in winter a Christmas Market. There is a Gärtnerei with many unique plants, a sculpture garden, an organic food market and a hotel. Free parking for motorcycles!

Stefans Wine Paradise is a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts. Visitors can enjoy complimentary tastings of an impressive range of liquors, including award-winning brandy, wine, rum, and cognac. The friendly owner and staff create a welcoming atmosphere, and customers appreciate the option to have their purchases shipped home with the added bonus of a free bottle to offset shipping costs.
Stefan is a master of customer service and hospitality. His wines and branded, cuckoo clocks, crystal, Christmas decorations and other German staples make his store a one-stop power shop. Located in the waterfront of St Goar next to all the restaurants and surrounded by two castles, I think it's a no brainer that you should definitely pay him a visit...or you were never really in Germany lol 😉

So affordable, it was unbelievable. They ship internationally; exceptionally affordable. Their prices are as amazing as their product tastes!! ALL 5 Stars ✨️✨️ seven times over ... no joke!!!

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Stefan’s shop two years ago and discovered an absolute treasure. Stefan has such an understanding of his product and his customers and generously shares samples so you can find the right flavor. I bought one bottle of the clear chocolate brandy and it was a hit at all parties. We returned to Germany two years later and made a specific detour to visit Stefan’s shop and he remembered us from two years ago. This time, we got the white chocolate, peach, and rhubarb brandies and they were outstanding. There truly is nothing like it in the US. Normally when traveling, I don’t like staying in shops too long so I can see and do more, but I don’t regret any time spent at Stefan’s listening to him talk about his process and passion for his brandies and wines. His customers service and hospitality is top notch and his positivity and outlook on life is infectious. He has really generous combo packages and international shipping too. Stefan, you were one of the brightest spots of our tour around Germany!

You have true quality of wine and spirit.

Rheinfels Castle, dating back to the 13th century, is the largest and one of the most enchanting castles along the River Rhine. Despite being mostly in ruins, it offers a captivating experience with its tall gate tower, remnants of apartments, and cellar. The former castle chapel now houses a museum that delves into its rich history. Visitors can enjoy a short hike from the river to explore medieval artifacts and take in stunning views from the watchtower.
This was a great castle to view, because unlike many of the restore castles, this one is more in its original state. It had some very fascinating areas to explore with great views of vineyards and the river. And the museum area has a lot of beautiful artifacts that are very interesting as well. Definitely worth the visit.

Nice castle but we hiked to ones that were better with no cost or minimal cost . Unfortunately it was under construction which is understandable but took away from the experience and some sections were blocked off. The museum was closed for 1 hour for a theatre show so we waited a while but felt we didn’t want to wait anymore. We thought it was over hyped in our opinion with the high reviews! It is hard not to get spoiled with so many castles around!

Guide with all details: ⏱️ you’ll need about an hour to see everything 🍽️ to eat, it's best to eat at the port, as the nearby restaurant has a low rating and tends to be overpriced 🚌 getting in and out from the castle, the public bus is the most convenient option-just a quick 7-minute ride (departs xx:07 & xx:37 every hour from the castle) 🚶‍♂️there are also steps available if you prefer a more scenic route on the way up 💶 6 per adult / 4 child, no need to book in advance 🚢 if you are on a ship ride - you need 2 hours between arrival and departure 🍦take in the port on the way up or down

Burg Rheinfels is a great ruin castle to explore. I had fun learning about what it would have been used for and how all the rooms would have looked. The grounds can be uneven to walk and there are stairs. There are toilets available and a nice gift shop.

An amazing ruin. Great entry price and we were free to walk around even though lots of maintenance happening. Definitely worth a visit.

It was great experience to visit the castle (mostly ruined) and have an insight of what happened here during medieval era and after French war. There are several things you can see like the Europe’s largest cold store and beautiful view of Rhine valley at the top. It is mostly under construction due to repair work going on.
Ranjit S — Google review
You can visit only few parts of the castle as it is under major renovation. What is really a must, if the weather isn't rainy, is the restaurant. The view from the terrace is simply astonishing!

Lorelei is an iconic rocky promontory above the Rhine River, featuring a statue of the legendary siren. It's a must-see during a 90-minute river cruise along the Middle Rhine Valley, offering picturesque views and opportunities to stop off for a walk alongside the river. The town across the Rhine from Sankt Goar provides wonderful views of the castle and wineries. Despite ongoing construction in some areas, it remains a gem with stunning views and beautiful landscapes.
Great historic spot. You can visit the castle and go to the statue of the mermaid.

A beautiful hotel with the feeling of a B&B. A very welcoming host; a nice, quiet location; big, clean rooms; and great food at their restaurant as well. We only stayed there for 2 nights, but we'd love to come back.

We highly recommend this hotel. The room was spacious, the bed and linens, very lovely. The service was exceptional which sets this hotel apart from many others. The owner gave us great recommendations of places to visit (the castles of Eltz and Thurant are both a must) and places to dine. He met all our requests and even accommodated our late arrival. We will definitely stay again if traveling through again. The owner has a lovely restaurant as well. Unfortunately, he is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays so we missed the opportunity to dine there.

We had dinner here after touring Berg Eltz. We went with what our server recommended and it was the Boar flatbread dish with cream cheese, Gouda and fresh herbs. Absolutely delicious and drank red wine with it. Friendly fast service was a plus as well as free parking. I would be a regular here, if I could.

We had a very nice one-night stay while visiting the Eltz castle. By good weather you could easily walk from the guesthouse to the castle. The food at diner was excellent. Breakfast was very good and cheap. You can ask for your preferred type of eggs, they have different breads, cereals and yogurt. The room and bathroom were very clean. The host is very welcoming and friendly. We would highly recommend this place and would gladly stay again.

Highly recommend this place for both lodging and to eat at. It's as close as it gets to Burg Eltz, took no more than 2-3 minutes to the parking lot for the castle

Very nice and cozy hotel. The rooms are tidy and nice, don't expect inner city hotel services. The hotel is a very homely feel, Dieter is an absolute gentleman, speaks good English and is very helpful, pity he supports Bayern Munich. The breakfast is quite nice, but we felt that it was a little expensive, personally would recommend eating at a Cafe nearby. We enjoyed our stay here and are very thankful to Dieter and staff.

Dramatic 360m-long rope bridge for bicyclists & pedestrians suspended 100m above a valley.
Incredible views and a peaceful nature experience. There’s a short, scenic hike of around 2.4 km from the parking lot to reach the bridge. Parking costs 8€, and there are clean container-style washrooms both at the parking area and right across the bridge. A great spot for a short adventure!

The view from the suspension bridge was absolutely stunning. Parking costs around 6 euros, though the parking lot is not well maintained, and there's an additional 1 euro fee to use the washroom. The bridge is just 1 km walk from the parking area. I had a great experience walking across the bridge and really enjoyed spending the evening there even though place being quite crowded.

Such a gorgeous hike! Several trails lead you to the bridge, including a paved path that’s short and easy for little ones, a stroller, or accessibility. Paid parking, paid bathrooms located in the town by the visitor center. Bathrooms are also by the bridge. The forest trail is gorgeous, but does get muddy at points. Creek runs along much of trail. Picnic seating along the way as well. Loved this hike!

Great place to stop off. About half an hour walk from the car park. I managed it pregnant! Car park not cheap, at least €6. Afvthe bridge there are portaloos (which were gross) bins and plenty of benches. The toilets at the car park look nice bit you have to pay for them too.

Let's start out with I had high hopes for this place. It was highly recommended and we drove two hours to visit it. Upon arrival we had roughly 30 minutes to see everything due to them closing and us running into traffi. We were greeted by an individual who didn't even say hello just a what do you want we are closing. We tried to talk a bit regarding the mustard and process and asked if we could try some. After giving a long sigh he allowed us to try some of the flavors before us choosing. Now for the mustard. The original is my favorite while the other flavors I had were more of a mustard which then they added spices. To me I thought it would have more of a unique taste or something different from just added spice. They do accept card and the mustard is around 7 euro. Now for the review. This place just from the staff alone. I would have to give it a 2 out of 10 on that 🔥 scale. The location is very beautiful and good walking distance to the downtown area.

It's a shop with hardly anything out on display. I guess you can only do so many varieties of mustard. Anyway, we walked in, did the circumference in about 1.5 minutes, and walked out. I'm not really sure why this place has the possibility to review it.

Not many words required for this place: Mustards and sausages. Many mustards available in different flavours, home made by the still in use mill. You pay a price for it, around €7,80 for a 250ml jar. Too much in my opinion, but yes, many tourists will buy it anyways. Oh yes, you can do some tasting as well.
Sander V — Google review
Just tried the sausage and a mustard of your choice for 2,50 offer. We really enjoyed it. Of course, some mustard flavors won‘t fit everyones preference. But the sausage was really good. While my favorite was the historic mustard, my +1 preferred the garlic mustard - a bit too intense for me.

Cochem Castle, also known as Reichsburg Cochem, is a stunning 11th-century hill-top castle offering panoramic views of the town and the Moselle River. Although much of the original structure was destroyed in the 17th century, it was meticulously restored to its former glory in the 19th century. Perched on a vineyard-covered hilltop, this iconic landmark is considered one of Germany's most beautiful castles.
Beautiful piece of architecture decorating the town. Nice local attraction with a coffee and observation terrace. Fantastic tour guide. I was wishing for more spaces to be available in the castle. Perhaps exposition is only 30% of the possible area. Still very beautiful and worth the visit.

Did a great little wine tasting as part of a Viking cruise. The host gave a great history of the winery and the tasting cellar was a great ambiance for a tasting. We tried some of the best wines, and they threw in a red they have been playing with that was actually pretty good. I think they will get there with the reds with further development. We just had a little palate cleansing bread and stuff for our tasting, but they have food and the menu looked pretty good to me. Didnot have time to go back for a full meal, but per our guide their food was very good. A nice small quaint winery, and I would recommend worth a stop in to check it out in a classically beautiful Germanic medieval architecture

Our river cruise tour took us to the Mosel wine museum in the gorgeous, wine country of Bernkastel-Kues, Germany. It is set in cool, vaulted, moodily lit cellar of St. Nicholas hospital. They have the most Moselle Riesling in the world, with over a hundred varieties. For a small fee, you can can sample any wine that you like on your own. Each wine has all off the information clearly displayed with which winery that it comes from. My wife loves wine, I don’t drink it at all, but I did really enjoy the experience. The dry wine is in one wing and the sweeter wine is in another. I actually liked some of the sweeter wines, but I was mostly there for morale support! My wife absolutely loved the wines and bought a few bottles to take to Paris. Upstairs the helpful staff made it easy to find the wine that you liked in the cellar. I suggest taking a picture of the wine that you chose, as they really have a wide selection. They even have a cool event room in the cellar with seating, tables and chandeliers. A lovely, unique experience in a beautiful, historic city on the Mosel river. A fun experience.

The wine museum was closed indefinitely, but we were able to explore the wine cellar.

You can then either buy a glass and enjoy there with a warm Pretzel, or purchase to take with you, all excellent value. A great way to introduce yourself to a wide range of Mosel wines.

The Felsenkirche, a small church with a rich history, is nestled within the face of a rocky hill. Its exterior stands out amidst the rocks, while the entrance can be found through a cave-like tunnel. The interior of the church is also carved into the rock, creating an awe-inspiring sight. Perched above the city of Idar-Oberstein, this hidden gem boasts a cross made from precious stones, showcasing the town's renowned craftsmanship.
If you like history and ancient buildings this is a great place to go, a church that at the very beginning of the construction it was a castle. When you are inside you are able to see how some of the walls are just rock of the mountain. Very interesting place with an amazing story. We had an excellent guide that explained every single corner of the place. The tour was made in German and one of our friends translated in to English. I didn’t ask if they offer a tour in English but I think it should be possible. The best way to go inside is to order a tour, is nothing expensive but you need to consider that is at least for 8 people.

(Translated by Google) Very nice!! A unique place in Metz... Placed in the heart of Metz not far from the cathedral.. A very friendly welcome. .and a bucolic terrace by the water. ..the only downside is the catering prices 15.50 a charcuterie board (not very extensive and not particularly high quality charcuterie (but good)) 4 euros an orangina for example... Too bad...in my opinion there is an effort to be made on this! Because it’s a really nice place! (Original) Très sympa !! Un endroit unique a metz ... Placé en plein de coeur de metz pas loin de la cathédrale .. Un accueil très sympathique. .et une terrasse bucolique au bord de l eau. ..seul point noir les tarifs de la restauration 15,50 une planche de charcuterie (pas très fournie et pas spécialement une charcuterie de grande qualité (mais bonne )) 4 euros un orangina par exemple... Dommage ...il y a ,à mon sens un effort a faire la dessus ! Parce que c est vraiment un endroit sympa !

(Translated by Google) Above all, don't count on those responsible for the show to be attentive and understanding because they have none of that! In fact, with friends we reserved seats for a show at 9 p.m. We have never attended a show in a dedicated place in the middle of the city... We arrive at 9:07 p.m. (miscalculation in the ease of parking) the gentleman tells us dsl it has already started you can no longer go in (I understand) I ask can you reimburse us? Oh wait, I ask, and then a manager tells us that it's not possible because you have to pay the actor for all that. Yes but it is not specified on the site that the doors will close at the start of the show so we cannot guess. The gentleman told us yes but no you will not be reimbursed, after 10 minutes other people arrive in the same situation as us (in total 7 people) he repeats that it is not possible but sent an email on the site you will be reimbursed. To date, on-site managers have not responded to any emails and of course no refunds! Be careful if you have a problem! (Original) Surtout ne comptez pas sur les responsables du spectacle pour être à l'écoute et comprehensif car il n'en ai rien ! En effet avec des amis nous avons reservé des places pour un spectacle à 21 h. Nous n'avons jamais assisté à un spectacle dans un lieu dedié en pleine ville... Nous arrivons à 21 h 07 ( mauvais calcul dans la facilité de se garer) le monsieur nous dis dsl ça a déjà commencé vous ne pouvez plus rentrer( je comprends) je demande pouvez vous nous rembourser ? Ha eu attendez je demande, et là un responsable nous dis que ce n'est pas possible car il faut payer l'acteur tout ça. Oui mais il n'est pas precisé sur le site de la fermeture des portes dès le commencement du spectacle donc on ne peux pas deviner. Le monsieur nous dis oui mais non vous ne vous ferez pas remboursé, après 10 mn d'autres personnes arrive dans le même cas que nous ( au total 7 personnes) il répéte que ce n'est pas possible mais envoyé un mail sur le site vous serez rembourser. À ce jour les responsables sur site ne repondent à aucun mail et bien sûr aucun remboursement ! Mefiez vous si vous avez un soucis !

(Translated by Google) I went to see the pregnancy crime show for the first time. Simply excellent. A great moment of laughter with actresses full of energy. A warm welcome and what more could you ask for. A very good idea to create a cafe theater in this city. Well done (Original) Je suis allé pour la première fois voir le spectacle délit de grossesse. Tout simplement excellent. Un grand moment de rigolade avec des actrices pleines d'energie. Un accueil chalereux en plus, que demander de plus. Une tres bonne idee d'avoir creer un cafe theatre dans cette ville. Bravo
