Koblenz sits where the Rhine and Moselle meet, and you will take in this striking riverside setting beginning at the Deutsches Eck, the spot that gives the city its Latin name confluentes, ‘at the merging of the rivers’. Along the way you will see the Rhine and Moselle themselves and enjoy views towards Fortress Ehrenbreitstein. In town you will pass the Basilica of St. Castor, wander the romantic little streets between the basilica and the Schängel Fountain at the town hall, and explore the Old Town with St. Florin’s Market, Liebfrauenkirche, Görresplatz, Jesuitenplatz, Münzplatz and the Denkmalzone “Vier Türme”.
As you move through the city you will learn about Koblenz’s long history. Topics will include its Roman past, the importance of the junction between the Rhine and the Moselle, the Teutonic Knights, and Koblenz’s role in the Holy Roman German Empire. You will also hear about Kaiser Wilhelm I, the impact of World War I and World War II, the post‑war reconstruction and the city’s development into the modern age, including its German–French past. The experience is focused on giving you a clear sense of place by combining historic context with the key landmarks that define Koblenz.
