Trier
Trier is a charming and very beautiful city. Founded by the Romans in 16 B.C., it is Germany's oldest city and exhibits architectural styles of the last 2000 years.
Luxembourg
Multilingualism is one of the assets of the Grand Ducal capital. Visitors may be ushered in with a hearty ”Moiën”, as the natives stick to their mother tongue, ”Lëtzebuergesch”, now as before. Placed in the heart of Europe, Luxembourg has matured into an economic and cultural center. The modern edifices of the European Institutions on the Kirchberg Plateau or the futuristic bank head offices lining Boulevard Royal bear witness to progress the city has made. The media world has found a home here, just like the circles of the specialist conventions or international conferences. Many great names, from Goethe or Victor Hugo to William Turner, used to think highly of Luxembourg hospitality and open-mindedness. Therefore, visitors should feel at ease in a cosmopolitan city stamped by the spell of smallness, visible at a glance.
Koblenz
This 2,000-year-old city at the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine rivers is the cultural and business centre of the Middle Rhine region. History buffs can explore the Neoclassic Residence Schloss, the Prince Elector's palace; the Deutsches Eck, a settlement founded by the German Order of Knights in 1216; and Ehrenbreitstein, the oldest fortress in Europe.
Bernkastel
Arriving in the Moselle River village of Bernkastle, Germany, is like stepping back in time. With its red-roofed cottages, colorful flower boxes, and multi-paned windows framed with wooden shutters, childhood images of German fairy tales spring to mind. The cobblestone streets, enchanting architecture and steep green hillsides enhance the storybook ambiance of this picturesque little village.
Remich
Remich is a small town located on the Moselle River between Luxembourg and Germany. The Moselle Valley is a well known wine region and known for sparkling and white wine production. The St. Martin Wine Cellars, underground wine caves and cellars that have been cut into rock, offer tours and wine tasting to visitors. Visitors can also enjoy a glass of local wine while boating on the Moselle River. A tow path through the Moselle Valley is a great place to go for a bicycle ride. A tourist train can take vistors on an hour tour of the beautiful town or you can walk and stop in a restaurant with an indoor and outdoor patio during the summer.
River Cruising
Relax and enjoy your day as you cruise along the river and take in the magnificent scenery.
Zell
This old town, along the east bank of the Mosel, is best known for its excellent wine, Schwarze Katze ("Black Cat"). The grape is king here, as you'll quickly realize if you visit during the annual autumn wine festival. Nearby, on the left bank of the Mosel, 8km (5 miles) from Zell, stands the little wine village of Alf. The surroundings are idyllic, especially if you climb up to the Marienburg, which has a fine view over the Mosel and the vineyards of Zell.
