This was a Viking cruise tour we took. The guide was costumed who takes on the persona of John Humfrey, a Lieutenant colonel in the British Corps of Royal Engineers, who guided us through the excellent examples of Prussian military fortifications. The fortress is on the opposite side of the Rhine from Koblenz where the ship is docked. We took a bus ride through the town of Koblenz up to the Fortress, where we were met by our guide. His dress was most impressive & his personality shone through, as he guided us through the immense fortress, often engaging us as fellow "actors". He told us everything necessary about the fortress & we highly recommend taking his tour. It's amazing to see the fortress from below & then, upon arriving, you see green grass, as the fortress is built beneath the earth we are standing on. After the tour, we took the gondola ride across the Rhine, where we boarded our bus for the ride back to the ship, the Viking Hlin, which we also highly recommend! Both the gondola and the fortress offer great views of the surrounding area, to include the river, France across the river & the massive statue of Kaiser Wilhelm in the Deutsches Eck. Most wonderful guided tour we took part of.

Unusual, distinctive and fun. Be careful where you stand or you may get wet when the little boy sprays water. You can ask directions and should be able to find this. We were fortunate to see it as part of a group guided tour. Kids will enjoy this.

Great old square bordered by the Jesuit monastery which in its lifetime so far had been transformed into a private school, town hall and - in December - the Advent calender of the city. There are a set of bells which play a song every hour of the day, a monument to an important medical guy and lots of nice cafes to sit down and people watch.

All these buildings have been restored beautifully since WW2. It is interesting to see photographs of Koblenz in 1945 to understand the level of devastation. Bearing this in mind the restoration is pretty stunning.
