Because of its location, the city is the perfect base to explore the terraced vineyards and castles along the Rhine and Moselle. This is especially true if you’re travelling by car or train. There are 8 popular castles to discover in less than 1 hour away! For more details take a look at my guide to the best castles along the Rhine and Moselle.

Where I stayed

I used Koblenz as a base to explore the castles on the Rhine by train. So, I needed accommodation close to the train station, but at the same time not far from the Old Town.

My favourite place to stay in Koblenz is Hotel Brenner. Perfectly positioned for sightseeing, day trips and river cruises. Rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed.

If you’re visiting Koblenz for exploring the nearby castles, stay in the area between Old Town and the Central train station. You’ll be at walking distance to everywhere, including tourist sights and restaurants.
