Set at the confluence of the mighty Rhine and Moselle Rivers, Koblenz has been a strategic trading post since the Roman era. Now a fascinating UNESCO World Heritage Site, this well-preserved historic city will delight well-heeled travellers seeking a vibrant, contemporary evening scene, as well as cultural aficionados eager to delve into the city’s rich past. Reflecting Koblenz’s riverside charm, our Gurus’ choice of the best places to stay in Koblenz sits right on the Moselle, promising enchanting views of this lively little city.
Discover the city from the water with a magical river cruise, or by following the paths which wind their way along the river banks. Deutches Eck, dominated by a statue of Emperor Wilhelm I, is impressive; as is the 19th Century Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, home to the State Museum of Koblenz. The two sites are connected by cable car — great fun for travellers of all ages.
The landscaped gardens and parkland of the Koblenz Electoral Palace, a French neoclassical building, are sensational.
