Things to Do in Koblenz

Koblenz sits at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers, a strategic location that has made it a fortress city since Roman times.

The Deutsches Eck ('German Corner'), where the two rivers meet, is home to a 37-metre equestrian statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I, completed in 1897.

Koblenz's Old Town (Altstadt) was largely rebuilt after World War II destruction, but its medieval street layout and half-timbered houses remain authentically preserved.

The city is the northern gateway to the UNESCO-listed Middle Rhine Valley, famous for its castles, vineyards, and dramatic river scenery.

Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, perched 118 metres above the eastern riverbank, is one of Germany's largest hilltop fortresses and accessible by cable car in under 4 minutes.

Koblenz produces and exports Riesling wine from surrounding Moselle Valley vineyards, with wine festivals and tasting routes throughout the region.
