General presentation
Coblence
A city at the confluence of the Rhine and the Moselle, convenient for the castles, cruises and belvederes of the valley.
To understand what Koblenz is, you have to look at Deutsches Eck, fortress of Ehrenbreitstein and cable car of Koblenz. These places give us the opportunity to see a territory marked by urban life, riverscapes and heritage and to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be expected: very touristic in season and city base more than just one destination. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Weilbourg
Weilbourg dominates the Lahn with its baroque castle, terraces and an old center tight in a river loop. Navigation, trails and the river tunnel give the city a very concrete relationship to the water, different from the larger panoramas of the neighbouring Rhine.
Remarkable location
Lahnstein
Lahnstein It is located at the meeting of the Rhine and the Lahn, with the castle of Lahneck hanging over the wooded slopes. The city is especially interested in its views of confluence, its docks and its departures from walking, in addition to the large romantic stages around Coblence.
Place
Deutsches Eck
The Deutsches Eck marks the meeting of the Moselle and the Rhine, in an open space dominated by the equestrian statue and views of the fortress. The place is simple to read: two rivers, a city of passage and a strong German symbolic charge.
Heritage
Forteresse d'Ehrenbreitstein
The fortress of Ehrenbreitstein dominates Koblenz from the opposite bank of the Rhine, with a spectacular position above the confluence. Its ramparts, exhibitions and viewpoints give depth to the visit, especially if one gets there by the cable car.
