Koblenz
Koblenz is located in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, at the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine rivers. The meeting point of the two rivers is known as the Deutsches Eck (German Corner), a local landmark. The city is an important tourist destination in Germany, and the Rhine Gorge where it is situated was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002, making it regarded as one of Germany’s most beautiful heritage cities.
Rolling hills, endless vineyards, and lush forests form the unique landscape surrounding Koblenz. Majestic churches, luxurious palaces, former noble estates, and splendid townhouses all stand as grand testimonies to the city’s over 2,000 years of history. Cozy and pleasant wine taverns, exquisitely prepared gourmet dishes or rich-flavored home-style cooking, along with the warm and unpretentious hospitality of the people of Koblenz, create a distinctive atmosphere where French lifestyle meets German traditions. Strolling through quiet alleys, romantic street corners, or enchanting squares, visitors from around the world can immerse themselves in Koblenz’s endless charm and feel right at home.
If you enjoy nostalgia, you can embark on an old town tour. This journey can begin with the Four Towers, then move on to the city’s iconic landmark — the Little Boy Fountain. The “Deutscher Kaiser” (German Emperor) is also a must-see attraction; it is not a monument to the emperor but rather a Gothic residential tower. The tour can be perfectly concluded with a visit to Stolzenfels Castle.
