Germany and Luxemburg: Route throgh the Rhine Valley Region, tailor-made by car

The Rhine and Moselle Valleys await you with magical landscapes, medieval villages, superb castles, Roman ruins, vast vineyards and amazing wines

Come and discover the hidden treasures of the Rhine Valley. Our tour will depart from Frankfurt, the city of castles, culture and skyscrapers! Where better than to start this tour than in the homeland of the Brothers Grimm, who we've had so many adventures with. You'll be the first self-drivers on this tour through the Rhine Valley, a landscape dotted with medieval villages, castles, Roman ruins and rolling hills. A tour full of romanticism that will start in the wine-growing region of Rheingau, known for its incredible Rieslings (variety of white grape). Get a bird's-eye view of the vineyards aboard a cable car in Rüdesheim and follow the course of the river until you reach one of the most stunning cities on its banks, Boppard. At its confluence with the River Mosel is the city of Koblenz, known as the German Corner, which we'll pass through before reaching the Moselle Valley, a place where the hillsides are adorned by countless vineyards that surround charismatic places such as Cochen and Bernkastel-Kues, where you'll be able to taste local wines at a winery. Another must-visit is Trier, the oldest city in Germany, which also has the oldest bridge in the whole country and where you can admire a host of historical monuments, all well preserved and protected by UNESCO. Once we leave the valley, we'll arrive in Luxembourg from the western border with Germany. You'll have the chance to view its most emblematic attraction, the Casemates du Bock (World War II bomb shelters dug out in the stone) and to marvel at the views from what is considered Europe's most beautiful balcony. We'll learn more about German history in Aachen, whose Cathedral has seen the coronation of thirty-eight kings and queens and is also the burial site of Charlemagne. And we'll get back to the Rhine in Cologne, one of the liveliest cities in Germany and famous around the world for its grandiose cathedral that holds the remains of the Three Wise Men. And you can't leave Germany without trying its sausages, sauerkraut and, of course, some of the 5,000 varieties of beer brewed across the country. Come and travel around the centre of Europe with us.
