As we take a moment to reflect, it is essential to honor the brave men and women who fought valiantly for the freedoms we cherish today. Their sacrifices have paved the way for us to enjoy fundamental rights such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion. This remembrance not only deepens our appreciation for our liberties but also inspires us to uphold the values they fought for, ensuring that future generations can experience the same privileges. The Rhine River, with its stunning vistas, offers a picturesque backdrop, especially during the summer months. The lush vineyards that line its banks create a vibrant tapestry of green, while charming towns dot the landscape, each with its unique character. As you gaze upon the river, you can see various cargo ships navigating its waters, transporting goods and adding to the lively atmosphere. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of majestic castles perched on hilltops, standing as timeless guardians of history. Additionally, the region boasts a diverse array of parks, providing serene spaces for relaxation and exploration, making the Rhine a truly enchanting destination.

Wonderful cable car ride from Rudesheim, views of vineyards and surrounding countryside, very peaceful but a bit chilly in the wind. A short walk to the monument, bit of a hill, but worth it. Amazing views of the Rhine and all around, the monument is massive, really impressive and the history (to read on placards) is very interesting. Nice little outdoor takeaway for drinks and snacks, note.. you pay a deposit for proper cups. Restaurant as well but didn't use it. A place well worth seeing!!

We had a good tour up here, we got the ring tickets which included cable car through the vineyard , chairlift and boat back. The view at the monument is beautiful totally worth it and the hike through the forest to the chairlift is good too.

Impressive monument, fun to ride the gondola up there. There is a little restaurant up there. Impressive views! It's worth going up to see. If the weather is good, it is a nice day. We had poor weather so we didn't stay long. You can ride the gondola down (keep your ticket) or walk down through the vineyards.

Lovely views up here, was on a Rhine tour up through here on the way back to Frankfurt. Amazing views on a blue sky day. One of the best views to end a day

Beautiful spot for a view and photos! Nice walk too! Highly recommend!

Super nice spot to enjoy the sunset and the sweeping views over the Rhine valley. I enjoyed the fact that the French contemplated blowing up the whole thing during their occupation of the area after WW1. Fortunately, they didn't. Hence: Vive la France.

Well worth visiting the temple and monument. You can hike or be lazy (I was) and take the gondola. Beautiful vista of the Rhine and city. Instead of queuing up, they have a machine you can purchase your tickets.

1. The area boasts a rich history that adds depth and character to its surroundings, making it a fascinating destination for visitors and locals alike. At the pinnacle of this location, an excellent restaurant offers a delightful dining experience, allowing patrons to savor exquisite meals while enjoying breathtaking views. This establishment serves as a perfect spot to relax, where guests can choose from a diverse selection of beverages, ranging from artisanal coffees to fine wines. As one sits and breathes in the fresh, clean air, the serene atmosphere enhances the overall experience, inviting moments of reflection and tranquility. For those seeking adventure, the region is crisscrossed with numerous trails ideal for trail running, leisurely walks, or even taking pets for a stroll. The beautiful forest that envelops the area invites exploration, providing a picturesque backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts to immerse themselves in nature's splendor.

In winter, when there is not much people, you can make some good pictures with friends or just enjoying the good view. In summer, here is definitely a really famous wedding and propose place! You could see some new couples every day here.

Most pleasant spot to enjoy the sunset with a small picnic boasting with sweeping views over the rhine valley.

Amazing views from the top! However you make your way up by the cable car or by foot you won't be disappointed. We went up by cable car and walked down alongside all those vines with amazing views. The walk down takes approximately 30-40 minutes and it really nice.

A free (aside from cost of parking or cable car) and beautiful sight to see with great views on the way to the Niederwald monument. Would make for great pictures if you're there on a day less crowded than the August 2022 Saturday afternoon we were there, but great to see nonetheless. Please see my review for the Niederwald monument and the wanderparkplatz for further details.

Absolutely incredible views from the observational deck

The experience is great and the views are awesome, but both times we have made use of the Ski-lift we have been met with an EXTREMELY rude "conductor". He is sarcastic, arrogant and when I accidentally scanned my tickets too soon (you need to wait for the people infront to be seated on the ski lift before you can scan your mobile tickets), I giggled and made a joke and said "I am so sorry, I heard you but I clearly didn't listen". His response verbatim was "yes, typical woman". I am not sensitive, but a little bit of respect goes a long way. I would be interested to hear if anyone else has had this type of experience with this young man.

What an amazing view. So much to soak in on a short ride into a quaint little town on the Rhine River. Check out all the tours available. They are well worth it.

Rising above Rüdesheim in the cable car, the world unfolded like a painting. The vineyards stretched across the hills, kissed by sunlight, while the mountains stood tall in quiet majesty. Below, the streets and gardens seemed miniature, a delicate tapestry of life and color. Fellow travelers waved and smiled, fleeting connections shared in a moment suspended above the earth. From this height, every detail—trees, rooftops, and winding paths—felt magical, as if the city whispered its stories only to those who dared to rise. Up here, between sky and land, time slowed, and the beauty of Rüdesheim lingered in my heart—a memory etched forever among the clouds.

From the lower station, it takes about 15 minutes to reach the Mountain station using the cable car. The cable car goes slowly and allows you to enjoy the lovely views and take pictures. From the mountain station, one has to walk for about 30-40 minutes ( depending on your pace) to reach Niderwalddenkmal.

It was great fun to use this scenic cable car. The view was stunning as we came down.

Nice experience over an astonishing landscape.

If you pass through Rudesheim this cable car is a must . It s smooth and the landscape is outstanding ! One star less because the cable car is not stopping so basically you are steping in while is moving. Hard for people with walk difficulties !

A private museum with great and unique collection of mechanical musical Instruments. A what is great that is not just exhibition, you receive a 45 minute guided tour, where you you get to know and to hear different instruments. Guides know at least 4 different languages, what is very rare also. The museum was worth every cent I paid. Just be ready that tours start every hour, so you might need to wait a bit.

Best museum I have been to in a long time. I wanted to see all of them play but understandably from a time perspective that just isnt possible. It truly is sad that we have lost so much of that beautiful craftmanship. The building itself is beautiful. The tour guides were very friendly. All in all I would honestly love to return if I am ever in the area again.

I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. The guide was informative and fun and the history of these incredible contraptions was fascinating. The tour was fast paced and well done.

A small but fascinating museum. I did the guided tour as a group. A vast array of mechanical musical instruments which show how ingenious humans can be when we out out minds to something positive.

A friend of mine recommended Siegfried's Mechanical Music Cabinet Museum, even though they visited almost 20 years ago. I'm so glad I took their advice! The tour guide was absolutely superb—not only were they genuinely funny, expertly switching between German and English, but they were also incredibly knowledgeable and even good on the piano! Their passion for the collection really made the experience. It's a very niche experience, but I'm still scratching my head wondering how all those instruments play themselves with such precision. For the price, it's great value for money and well worth the experience. I highly recommend it!

What a brfilliant museum. We hjad a tour to ourselves and the museum staff allowed us to store our cases in a locked room. We had a good tour around of a number of different rooms containg lots of instruments and ouir guide gave us information about certain machines and demonstrated them. All of them were interesting and fascinating. It was so good to see so many working machines, some huge, some tiny and all producing wonerful music.There are also some very old wall and ceiling paintings in some of the rooms. Even though the tour is only 45 minutes it was good value for money

Wow! The museum not only has a vast selection of player pianos, but player orchestras, too. And much, much more. I learned a lot during our tour. The building itself is a former grand home and is beautiful in its own right. Definitely worth a visit.

The list was good, in the fact that it got you up to a view point with amazing views. But don't bother going to the fort. The exhibits are all in german, you can get a downloaded audio guide to your phone bug you need to remember you ear phones if you want to use inside. Outside you can use it around the fort but it is short. I also struggled to understand why a historical building included a casino, numerous pubs and a youth hostel, was just the most bizarre historical monument site I have been too.

Have visited Koblenz several times but first time to experience the cable car. Had limited time, sadly insufficient to take the castle tour but great views of the city and the confluece of its two impressive rivers. With atypical Germanic efficiency, access & egress to/from the cable car stations is easy & safe for all ages & abilities. Good value for money, would hope to return one day & to do it justice!

This was great fun! Glide over the vineyards in a 2 person gondola. You get nice views of the town, vineyard, and the river. Very relaxing. When at the top of the mountain, there is a huge memorial statue, and sweeping views of the area. There is also a small café where you can get a snack or very light lunch and enjoy the outdoors. We did see people walking down, through the vineyards. If you have time, it looked like fun.

What a fab few hours. Obviously if your afraid of heights you might want to go, but it's very safe and worth going. The monument at the top is massive and breath taking. Worth the trip on its own. You can bike or walk up there, but I personally wouldn't recommend it. It's over 200meter up there.

Worth the money! The cabin is for two people. The view is amazing! You might need to wait in the queue for around 30-40 minutes on a busy day(if the queue is just beyond the automatic ticket machine, consider around 20 minutes). The Seilbahn begins from the third floor of the building.

Ride a cable car, a ski lift and a boat ride too in a beautiful part of the wine growing region in Germany. What wonderful views!

Awesome way to see the vineyards behind rudesheim, and get some great pictures of the rhine and multiple small towns on either side of the rhine.

You can buy boat tickets for a cruise in the Rhine River for 2 to five hour tour of the towns and castle along the way.

Good place for shopping. Everyone should experience some local shopping before going home. Price is good here and eating also great.

- during the week isn’t difficult to buy day tickets to go up and down the Rhine River - beautiful town to spend the afternoon - tons of opportunities to bring the family & keep the kids occupied - pet friendly in most restaurants

First visiited in 1985, returned in 2018 the only thing changed was me. Still a wonderful historical site to visit. Easy access as well

Wonderful view of the city and river

Nice landmark and good scenery.

Our visit coincided with a Harley Davidson event and the city was full of joy and loud engines. There were bikes crossing the river on boats and a large crowd in every bar, terrace or restaurant. The city was live and more dynamic than ever.

Went for an early dinner after spending a hot day in the area. The outside seating was nice, service was friendly and speedy, and we appreciate the help with allergy concerns we have. Food was very good, and serving sizes large. Recommended.

While visiting Rüdesheim we stopped here at the Café to try the famous Asbach Uralt Kaffee. We watched the traditional preparation of it. As dessert, we tried the Blackforest Cake and Applestrudel. Both were well prepared!

In Germany and I ordered a hamburger...very tasty done perfect. Service was very good ,girl was patient as we don't speak German. Cute area for your typical souvenirs.

wonderful place for a break before seilbahn. the waiter was so kind and helpful. we had fun, hope you do so.

It’s okay food. We had to wait for one hour till we got our food served.

Good food with very fair prices for such touristic town. The service was very friendly too. We enjoyed our lunch there!

Do not go here!!!! Service is terrible, the waiters are anything but friendly. They persuade you to order more than you originally want, and if you want to pay with card they tell you that your bill have to exceed €40. If it doesn’t, you have to pay cash ("these are the rules"). And when I mentioned that these ”rules” might be something they should actually tell their customers upfront, the waiter got very rude and tried to physically intimidate me - all in all a very uncomfortable and seriously bad experience.

The hotel is perfectly positioned for the Christmas market experience, you step out the door and you’re straight in to it. Breakfast and evening meals were more than adequate. The bar area where you can sit and chat with friends really needs some improvement it feels unloved and offers very limited choice of beverages. The bedrooms are somewhat basic , no kettle was a shock as I love that early morning cuppa. The shower was more than adequate with plenty of water pressure and copious amounts of hot water. The owners make you feel very welcome. If you have any form of restricted mobility then this hotel is not really for you, there are lots of steps to get access to the first floor bedrooms this is where you will find the one and only lift to the rest of the floor levels. The location of the hotel to the Rhein is around a 5 minute walk 100% downhill on the way there so obviously 100% uphill on the way back. Next door to the hotel is the cable car which is a must, the views from the top are superb.

Overall, we were very happy with our stay here. The rooms were clean, spacious and the location was perfect. Breakfast was amazing and well organized. It was a wonderful surprise to find a pot of coffee and a place card with our name at our table. That was a very special touch that put a big smile on our faces. We only have two complaints. First, the rooms aren't equipped with air conditioners so we had to ask for fans which helped cool down the warm rooms. Luckily the weather was a tad cool at night so that helped ventilate the room. Second, there was a list displayed in the room with personal care products available at the front desk. We assumed these were available for free of charge since the list did NOT indicate a charge. When the lady manager handed the product to us, she didn't say anything about a price. When we got our bill at check out, we were surprised to find a 5 euro charge for a razor kit. Also, if you need a bottle of water, don't purchase it at the hotel. We paid 7 euro for a regular bottle of water which was available in town for 1 euro. I know it's not much but it put a damper on our wonderful stay here as I don't like to be taken advantage of. Other than that, we were happy with our stay here and would return in the future.

A family run hotel that provides a perfect base to visit the Christmas markets. The staff are absolutely amazing and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are spacious and you can look out onto the markets.

A very nice few days stay in the lovely family owned/ run hotel. Nicely situated in the centre of Rhudeshim. Nice large clean rooms, nice breakfast buffet choice to suit all palettes. Nice cosy bar area with a full range of drinks.

What a wonderful hotel. My grandmother stayed in October and had a great time. She wants to say a big thank you to Marko and the team for safely returning her mobile phone back to the UK (via Karen Kirby) after she left it in a local church. They went above and beyond so thank you so much!

Do not stay here with children. My husband went with my son for breakfast and thought strange that he seated them at a bench that was dirty, but thought “oh well”. He left later to get the rental car, so I was the one to check out. They stated that my son had left their bench dirty and they would give me deal to have it professionally cleaned for 50 euros instead of the normal 115 euros. They were rude and stated it was unacceptable. My daughter meanwhile went in the area to see it, and there was a staff member with a steam cleaner. They were RUDE. I felt bad and tried to apologize, but was berated when I questioned. Beware also, no air conditioning. So if your room is on the main walkway below, you will not get any sleep with an open window. For the price I paid, I could have gone to a nicer place, minus the rudeness.

Nice clean hotel. There are some stairs to access upstairs accommodation which are a challenge, particularly if you have any mobility problems. The owner and his wife are both very nice and very helpful. Generally the staff are fine BUT beware of the Russian chambermaid who cannot speak English and therefore chooses to either push you out of the way or yell in German at you (management point out how hard she works and so that is ok). Food at dinner only rates about four out of ten!

Great place. Hope they get more customers, while they have the best view. Enjoyed goid wine and service.

das Rebenhaus it is a very beautiful restaurant on top of this massive Hill that is a winery all around it with great views of the city and River

Great location! Great views of the valley and river!

Beautiful view, great view and fantastic service. Definitely better than all the restaurants down in Rüdesheim itself. We go here quite often and love it each time. Can't say much about the rooms since we personally have stayed here yet

Beautiful view but that's about it. Tables were booked for a business trip weeks in advance, pre-ordered our food in a week in advance and still when we came the 2 of thr chicken schnitzel were first forgotten and then half cooked.

It’s a place to go with good weather because the view from there is really pretty. However, make sure you’re not so hungry nor thirsty, because it takes ages until they take your order and bring it to you. We were there on a Sunday, which is usually a very busy day and there were only 2 waitresses for the entire restaurant. Minimum of 30 minutes just to being able to order some water and wine.

Sitting at the table right now, having finished the BEST burger I've ever had in Germany. Absolutely fantastic, and the view is even better. 6 out of 5 stars.

Food was decent and relatively cheap for the area. Portions were large. I preferred the curry dishes to the noodle dishes. Flavor was satisfactory for the price. If you're looking forsome cheap food and are hungry for a lot of food with only a little sacrifice on flavor, this will be a great stop for you.

14.80 euros for such a small bowl of rice noodle soup is not worth it, (see picture) there are only 12 pieces of beef 1.5cmx3cm, and it is not my traditional method, the soup is very cloudy, the name is Vietnamese beef noodle, but it is not at all.

I really love Pho Bo. And when I went to this place with the rating 3.5, I was ready to not the world's best pho bo. But what they served I wouldn't call Pho Bo at all! It's not even food and i could literally not eat that. That smelled bad and looked disgusting! And I'm not really that picky. My wife order something like fried dumplings and those were overcooked pieces of cardboard. Never go there! P. S. They also included drinks in the bill but never brought them. And we had to explain that to the waitress that didn't know a word in English

We weren’t sure about this place at first because it didn’t seem great, but we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, our instincts were right — the place turned out to be dishonest and trying to take advantage of customers. First, they charged us €7 for two glasses of tap water — not bottled water, just regular tap water in a glass. On top of that, we ordered pho, and I asked for hoisin sauce. They brought out a tiny cup of sauce (which wasn’t even hoisin) and then charged €2 for it at the end. No one told us there would be a charge. Be careful — they look for ways to overcharge you. With business practices like this, it’s hard to imagine them lasting very long.

Nice location good food.

Only 2 cooks in the kitchen with a lot of hungry customers waiting outside. The server messed up his orders and they served 50 minutes after taking the order. The food was bland and not well garnished. It is evident that the kitchen as well as the service was completely clueless

I ate here several times during my stay in Rüdesheim. Asia Wok is a friendly restaurant with a family atmosphere. The first time I had a Bami Goreng, the second time a Nasi Goreng. The first was quite tasteful, the latter was more medium spiced. I liked both and the quantity was good. They costed only 6,90 euros (price mid November 2016). You can sit a long time in this relaxed restaurant, they won't bother you. I did so reading newspapers while enjoying my Bitburger beer.
