Rudesheim Germany

Rudesheim Germany

Rüdesheim am Rhein is one of the most beautiful wine regions in Germany. Stroll among the half-timbered buildings of the old town and Drosselgasse, see castles and vineyards during a Rhine river cruise, and sip local riesling and pinot noir in Medieval settings.
A history of Medieval knights and kings lingers across the Middle Rhine Valley, in the form of 40 enchanting castles. Several of the castles can be seen around Rüdesheim during a short boat trip such as the 1.5-hour Rhine Valley Castles cruise. You’ll sail past castles such as Rheinstein, Brömserburg and Klopp, as well as Binger Bridge and the Mouse Tower of Binger Loch, among romantic pinot noir vineyards.
At the heart of the old town in Rüdesheim is Drosselgasse, a 144m (472ft) cobbled street lined with timber-framed buildings. It might be olde worlde in architecture, but, here, you’ll find some of the best entertainment venues in the city, from live music in taverns to restaurants serving regional dishes. Three million visitors a year flock here – partly for the Breuer’s Rüdesheim Castle (a 1,000-year-old building that’s now a restaurant and hotel) and the atmospheric Christmas Market.
