With 3 days in Koblenz, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. Forget generic sightseeing.

Why Visit Koblenz
A Gateway to Castle Country: Koblenz is the perfect base for exploring the Romantic Rhine. Embark on a KD Rhine cruise south to see legends like Burg Katz and the Loreley Rock, or drive the scenic routes to visit Marksburg Castle in Braubach—the only hill castle on the Rhine never destroyed.
Authentic Rhine Wine Culture: Move beyond the bottle and into the vineyards. Visit family-run wineries in the Moselle-side district of Güls or take a short train to the terraced slopes of Winningen for a tasting. Time your visit for the annual Rhine in Flames festival, where fireworks illuminate the valley and castles.
A Living History Book: Walk through layers of time, from the Roman foundations at the 'Castellum' to the baroque Electoral Palace (Kurfürstliches Schloss). The Forum Confluentes modern cultural center houses the Middle Rhine Museum, brilliantly contrasting with the medieval timber-framed houses surrounding the Old Town's Four Towers.
