4 Day Tour
Atruly magical weekend awaits - Rüdesheim at Christmas time has a charm of its own set against the lovely views over the River Rhine. Nestled in the town's chocolate-box old quarter, the Christmas market in Rüdesheim brings a distinctly festive feel to the romantic old town and its popular Drosselgasse lane, as over 100 stalls, representing 12 countries, gather to present Christmas customs and traditions from around the world. Among a huge choice of local and global foods, try some Scandinavian specialities on the Drosselgasse or a taste of the Far East in the Mongolian marquee. An absolute must-do is to try some delicious Rüdesheim Coffee, which is exclusively made with locally distilled Asbach Uralt brandy and whipped cream, traditionally served in an authentic Rüdesheim coffee set.
