River Rhine

Explore the Legendary Rhine, Main and Moselle

The River Rhine is a story of two halves. As you wind north from Cologne, expect vibrant cities like Amsterdam and Antwerp rubbing shoulders with wide-open landscapes in the lowlands of Holland and Belgium. Meander in the other direction, and castles crowning rolling hillsides invite you to something a little more fairy tale. Stick with the Rhine all the way south and watch as Germany becomes France and Switzerland, or mosey off onto the Moselle and dip into a wine-lovers paradise with a rich Roman history. The Main links the mighty Rhine with the legendary ‘Blue’ Danube, and offers up a slice of authentic German charm with pastelpainted medieval towns and legendary hearty cuisines and beers. As beautiful in the full bloom of spring as it is wrapped up for Christmas, this fabled route offers something unique whether you’re discovering it for the first, or the 31st time.
