Koblenz | The Ultimate Travel Guide

Koblenz is referred to as the “German corner where father Rhine meets mother Moselle”.

Its 24/7 picturesque location lends itself to the ideal spot from where to explore the Moselle Valley, the castles on the River Rhine, and all the surrounding dreamy villages and vineyards.

The strategic location of the dramatic 65km stretch of the Middle Rhine Valley between Bingen, Rüdesheim und Koblenz as a transport artery and the prosperity that this engendered is reflected in its sixty small towns, the extensive terraced vineyards and the ruins of castles that once defended its trade.

Things to do in Koblenz

The building is home to the city public library, the Mittelrhein Museum, and the tourist information with the interactive experience exhibition “Romanticum”.

The original statue (erected in 1897) of the Kaiser was destroyed by US troops in World War II in 1945. The statue was replaced in 1993 as a reformed Germany strived towards being a model nation, staying out of foreign wars.

The Military Museum in Koblenz has one of the largest collections of war technology.

It’s quite amazing standing next to these massive life-size machines. The collection includes planes, armored vehicles, helicopters, and a wide variety of weapons.

Address: Mayener Str. 85
