EXCURSION PACKAGE WITH 3 EXCURSIONS €114 PER PERSON
CITY TOUR RUEDESHEIM
The wine town on the Rhine is not only one of the most famous tourist magnets in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, but is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Get to know Rüdesheim better on a leisurely tour and be enchanted by the romantic charm of the many half-timbered houses.
SIEGFRIED’S MECHANICAL MUSIC CABINET
About halfway along the Rhine’s journey from its source to where it flows into the North Sea is Rüdesheim, a wine-growing town in the Middle Rhine Valley. Nobody can say that they know the Rhine if they haven’t experienced a sunny day in Rüdesheim. Look forward to your visit to this enchanting town and don’t miss a visit to Siegfried’s Mechanical Music Cabinet during your stay. Around 350 self-playing musical instruments from three centuries are on display in the Brömser Hof, a knight’s residence from the 15th century. During a guided tour lasting almost an hour, you will learn interesting facts about orchestrions, barrel organs and the art of mechanically and physically recording and reproducing music. Let yourself be amazed by the artistic and musical inventions of the past with a glass of wine. You will take the “Winzerexpress” to get to the music cabinet.
CITY TOUR OF KOBLENZ WITH CHRISTMAS MARKET
With more than 2000 years of history, Koblenz is one of the oldest cities in Germany. The original Latin name Confluentes (German: the confluent) is due to the location of the city. Koblenz is located at the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine, the so-called “German Corner”. Get to know the historic old town on a tour. The idyllic streets between the Basilica of St. Kastor, the oldest church building in Koblenz and the Church of Our Lady give Koblenz a special charm. Of course, a visit to the atmospheric Christmas market should not be missed, where a glass of mulled wine rounds off the excursion in an enjoyable way.
