What is the most famous tourist attraction in Koblenz?

The Deutsches Eck is regarded as the city’s most famous landmark. It marks the confluence of the Rhine and the Moselle and is visible from afar thanks to the large equestrian statue of Emperor Wilhelm I.

How much time should I allow for a visit to Koblenz?

Two days are often enough to see the main highlights, such as the Deutsches Eck, the Old Town and Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. If you’d also like to visit the riverside promenades, museums or go on excursions into the Middle Rhine Valley, you should allow three to four days.

Is Koblenz a good starting point for trips to the Middle Rhine Valley?

Yes. Koblenz is regarded as the gateway to the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From here, castles, wine-growing villages and towns along the Rhine and Moselle can be easily reached by train, boat or bicycle.

Is it possible to explore Koblenz on foot?

Yes, large parts of the city centre and the Old Town are within easy walking distance. For trips across the Rhine, such as to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, or for longer journeys along the riverbank, the cable car, bus or bicycle are also good options.

What are some things to do in Koblenz with children or as a family outing?

The cable car ride across the Rhine to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, a stroll around the Deutsches Eck, and the riverside promenades along the Rhine and Moselle are all ideal for a family day out. The State Museum at the fortress also offers programmes suitable for different age groups.

Discover Koblenz

Koblenz lies at the confluence of the Rhine and the Moselle and is one of Germany’s oldest cities. The city combines over 2,000 years of history with the charm of a vibrant Rhine-Moselle metropolis and is regarded as the gateway to the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you’ll find an overview of Koblenz’s main attractions and tips on how best to explore the city for yourself – whether it’s your first city break, a weekend getaway or a stop-off on a journey along the Rhine and Moselle.

Koblenz combines a historic old town, two rivers and one of Europe’s largest fortifications within a compact area – many of the highlights are within walking distance of one another.
The city is a starting point for excursions into the Middle Rhine Valley, to the Moselle and into the surrounding wine regions.
Koblenz is both steeped in history and green: riverside promenades, Rhine parks and viewpoints invite you to slow down and relax.

What makes Koblenz special?

Koblenz owes its name to its location at the ‘Confluentes’, the confluence of the Rhine and the Moselle – which remains the heart of the city to this day. At the Deutsches Eck, right on this spot, history and city life come face to face: the monumental equestrian statue of Emperor Wilhelm I, the view of the two rivers and the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress opposite make this one of Germany’s most famous photo spots.

Around the old town, narrow alleyways, historic squares and half-timbered houses line the streets, bearing witness to the city’s long history as a Roman settlement, an electoral residence and a Prussian fortress town. At the same time, Koblenz is a city perfect for a leisurely stroll: along the banks of the Rhine and the Moselle, in the Rhine Park and on the way to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, sightseeing and relaxation take turns time and again.
