Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Rhine Valley
Take the train on the left bank of the Rhine for the best castle views. The Linke Rheinstrecke is the most scenic
Rhine Pass allows hop-on-hop-off at all KD boat stops all day — best value for exploring multiple villages
Try the local wine — Riesling is the specialty of the region. Wine costs €5-8 per glass at wine taverns (Weinstuben)
Rüdesheim and Bacharach are the prettiest villages to stay — romantic atmosphere and ideal base for exploring
Book early for Rhine in Flames festival (May and September) or avoid if you prefer quiet. Spectacular fireworks but very crowded
