Koblenz Cruises, Germany

Koblenz City Tour & Hilltop Fortress

Historic sights are the order of the day on this excursion. An expert guide will get things started in Koblenz’s Altstadt – or old town. You’ll roam around the narrow lanes on a walking tour, ticking off statue-lined squares, iconic fountains and the Romanesque towers of the Church of our Lady. After you’ve seen the major players, you’ll catch a bus transfer across the Rhine to a hilltop that overlooks Koblenz. This spot’s dominated by the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, and you’ll follow a path around the outside to a panoramic viewpoint. From here, you’ll have vistas of the German Corner – the point of the city where the Moselle and Rhine rivers meet. Your guide will fill you in on the fortress’ history, before you board a bus back to the ship.
