About Andernach

Andernach, a historic city on the Rhine River in Rhineland-Palatinate, traces its roots back to the Roman era. The city’s well-preserved medieval old town is particularly striking, with impressive defensive walls, stone gates, and charming cobbled streets. Many of the best places to stay in Andernach are tucked within the Old Town centre, perfect for exploring on foot.

Explore the Old Town’s museums, galleries, boutiques and architectural landmarks with an expert guide, or pick a perch at one of the many cafés to soak up the sunshine in the summer months. The nearby Rhine River is an attraction in itself, with opportunities to cycle along the riverbank, or glide atop the water on scenic boat tours.

The Geysir Andernach, the world's highest cold-water geyser, which shoots water up to 60 meters into the air, is another highlight. Tour the Andernach Geyser Park with the whole family for interactive exhibits explaining the geological phenomena, or discover the Rhein-Westerwald Nature Park through picturesque hiking and cycling trails. Other nearby attractions include Marksburg Castle in Braubach, and the beautiful vineyards of the Rhine Valley.
