Where Rhine and Moselle join, lies a city that pays tribute to both famous rivers: Koblenz – the gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage “Oberes Mittelrheintal” (Upper Middle Rhine Valley). In more than 2000 years of history Koblenz saw many armies come and go but the city kept the best of all conquests.

Today you can still visit the “Kurfürstliches Schloss” (Elector’s Palace) as well as the romantic Schloss Stolzenfels (Stolzenfels Castle) and the neo-classical Theater.

On top of that, the fortress is home to the “Landesmuseum Koblenz” (State Museum Koblenz). The former small settlement at the intersection of old military roads and great European streams emerged as a modern, vibrant city. In 2011, Koblenz hosted the “Bundesgartenschau” (Federal Garden Show) true to the motto “Koblenz changes”. A new contrast between historic Prussian gardens and contemporary grounds had been created.
