The Rhine Valley is straight out of a picture book; with sheer cliffs, steep vineyards, a castle perched on virtually every hilltop and pretty villages lining the riverbanks on either side. Myths and legends are everywhere here, such as the story of Loreley, the beautiful siren of the rocks. Towns like Bacharach, Boppard, St. Goar and Linz epitomise the charm of this remarkable area with its rich cultural heritage.

​

Rüdesheim is one of the most popular towns in the Rhine Valley, Germany. It is known for winemaking, especially of Riesling wines. In the town centre is the Drosselgasse and, nearby, you'll find Siegfried’s Mechanical Music Cabinet, a museum of automated musical instruments. Medieval Brömserburg Castle is home to the Rheingau Wine Museum, exhibiting wine paraphernalia from ancient times to the present.

The Drosselgasse, in heart of Rüdesheim’s old town, is a meeting place for locals and visitors from all over the world who revel in its unique atmosphere. This is where the music is and where it never stops! Whether you're after something lively or classical, romantic or groovy, from brass bands to string quartets, from dusk until dawn you will find it here. There's a wide range of wine bars and beer gardens to satisfy everyone.
