Itinerary

A Weekend by the Rhine

Let the timeless beauty of the Rhine Valley sweep you away on this enchanting weekend escape. Based in the storybook town of Rüdesheim am Rhein, we explore a landscape of riverside villages, vine-clad hills and fairytale views. There’s time to savour Rüdesheim’s charm at your own pace, from cobbled streets and quaint shops to cosy wine taverns and also enjoy a scenic tour, following the Rheinuferstraße to Koblenz, where the Rhine meets the Moselle. With picturesque surroundings and gentle exploration, this is the perfect way to enjoy a truly delightful weekend.

Day 3

Enjoy a scenic journey along the Rheinuferstraße as we follow the east bank of the Rhine to Koblenz, where the Moselle meets the Rhine. Koblenz is a historic city with a rich heritage, offering visitors a chance to explore its ancient architecture. The city's strategic location has made it a significant military and commercial centre throughout history, and its charming old town is a testament to its past. Enjoy time at leisure to stroll the riverside promenade, visit the Deutsches Eck or relax in a café. Our coach returns by a different route along the west bank, crossing the river by the charming Bingen Ferry for a fitting end to our Rhine discovery.
