Koblenz is where the Rhine and Moselle rivers converge in a spectacular meeting of waters, known as the “Deutsches Eck” (German Corner). You’ll discover how Roman settlers, medieval merchants, French revolutionaries, and Prussian rulers have all left their mark on this strategic riverside location. The tour starts at the modern Forum Mittelrhein in the heart of the city. You’ll weave through medieval squares like Jesuitenplatz and Münzplatz, where coins were once minted, and along narrow alleyways that whisper tales of the past. You’ll stroll past the impressive Church of Our Lady with its distinctive onion-shaped twin towers and Florinsmarkt square with its famous ”eye-roller” figure.
