Boppard river cruises, Germany

What's great about Boppard river cruises?

The German town of Boppard’s main claim to fame is its wine. White Riesling and red Pinot Noir’s been bottled here for centuries, starting off life in the vineyards – including the biggest in the Middle Rhine Valley – outside of town. The bars and restaurants here put on tasting sessions where you can sample them for yourself. You’ll find them clustered along the waterfront – which is also home to traditionally German, 16th-century architecture and museums – and around the modern-meets-Medieval town square. Wander around the Electoral Castle. It was built in the 13th century, and has been a hospital, a prison and a police station. These days it’s a museum, and you can dive deep into all this history through the exhibits here.
