The Beauty of Christmas in the Rhine Valley

The most fantastic stretch of the Rhine perhaps is the Rhine Gorge, a 65 kilometre section of the river that has been deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its spectacular geology, history and culture. Vineyards line the steep valley sides of the Rhine and are interspersed with quaint rural villages and hilltop castles. Take in the sights of places like Rüdesheim, Koblenz, Cochem and Brohl where you can visit their Christmas markets and marvel at the half timbered houses and other stunning architecture. Our tours of the Rhine Valley really are special during Christmas time.
