The cable car station, Seilbahn Koblenz, is located on the hillside overlooking the fortress Ehrenbreitstein. The ride to the top is a leisurely 890 meter journey that affords great views of the river below and of landmarks such as "German Corner.
Amazing experience! It is a very modern seilbahn and of course it costs more than the regular seilbahn but the view compensates all. I suggest to park the car on the mountain first (there is a big parking lot next to the fort) and go down with the seilbahn to enjoy the city center without any stress about your car. Wagon 16 has a glass window in its floor so the experience gets even better.

Most interesting thing to do during your visit to Koblenz.
Cable car connecting the city side next to Deutsche Eck to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. The ride is worth it for the spectacular panoramic view of the of the city down as well as that of the mighty Rhien in both the directions which is always busy with the boats and ferries running up and down. It is recommended to have the combined ticket with Ehrenbreitstein Fortress entrance.

Everyone should try this Cable Car if you visit Koblenz - Germany. You can see such a beautiful views and it’s wonderful. This Cable Car is safety and the price is worth it. When you already in the hill, you can enjoy first the place above or walk around for couple of minutes/ hours before you going back down.

Runs at weekends during off peak times, which are October to early April. We paid EUR31 for a family ticket which is up to 2 adults and 4 children. This included admission to the fortress at the top.
Be warned that there's lots of walking if you want to see everything and maybe not so great for under 5s. The playground at the top worked well for us.

Definitely worth the full price when visiting Koblenz. I’m not sure why some of the reviews complain about the high prices when it’s about the cost of a movie and you can literally spend all day at the fortress.

Great view and lovely ride, I can recommend to everyone. We have been to Koblenz several times already and usually we would park the car somewhere near the Rhine Viewing Platform and head down to the city with the cable car :)
The 37 meter high equestrian monument marks the spot where two rivers meet and is home to the impressive Monument to Emperor Wilhelm. The statue was erected in 1897 and has been damaged during WWII, but has since been restored.
This is a must visit spot if you are visiting Koblenz. You will be able to see two rivers merging here at the spot. The view to the other sides of the river is amazing. You can also take seilbahn(cable car) from here to go to the top of a fortress

Nice spot, where the Mosel and the Rhine rivers meet. The Kaiser Wilhelm Monument is also impressive! It was rather quiet today since it was windy and cold, but it’s a popular place and I believe some river cruises, like Viking, come here. Check it out 👍🏻

Beautiful view of Mosel river where it joins with the Rhine river. The statue of William I is huge, who is the first German emperor. It was restored after 1945. There is much history associated with this particular location. This location is popular tourist attractions. There are many fortress near by this moment. Ehrenbreitstein Fortress view from this is splendid. The wind blows here heavy always. The city view on the bank of rivers is worth watching. It takes around 20-25 minutes to reach the Koblenz train station by walk. There are many restaurants near city centre while walking from this Deutsches Eck. One can take the boat raids which are worthy.

We were on a Viking River boat, great way to travel! The Herja was beautiful, food, wine and beers excellent. Too bad I missed a lot of the tours and all of Paris, due to flight delays, luggage lost and sick from the cold A/C - 2 day and nights at JFK Airport. None of this was Vikings fault. They are excellent in Service, Employees and ships.

Koblenz, a picturesque city in Germany, left a lasting impression. The historic old town, stunning riverside promenades, and the Deutsches Eck monument were highlights.

Deutsches Eck offers a picturesque view where the Rhine and Moselle rivers meet. The iconic equestrian statue and nearby cafes enhance the experience. Perfect spot to soak in history and enjoy the scenic beauty. Do take a cable car ride to the Ehrenbreitstein fortress to enjoy the majestic view from top. Tickets cost 15€ for both sides.
Stolzenfels Castle, situated in Rittersturz near Koblenz, is a 13th-century fortress that was reconstructed in a neo-Gothic style by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV in 1842. Positioned 154 meters above the Rhine River, this enchanting castle was initially built to collect river tolls and later expanded during the 15th century.
A charming castle, easily accessible via public transport from Koblenz and nearby cities. Stunning views of the Rhine River and scenic trekking paths await. Guides available in German, English, and Spanish. 5 eur entrance.
Julian Mora — Google review
The castle has been perfectly preserved and is maintained to a very high standard.The regional government invested heavily in its restoration in recent years and the rooms and garden are immaculate.
It is a pretty stiff walk up the hill from the main car park and would be difficult for someone with mobility problems.The rooms are laid out over several floors which are accessed by stairs.
There are no refreshments except from a vending machine and nothing close by in the village.
The views from the outside walls of the surrounding area are stunning and give a real idea of the strategic position of the castle.
It was highly recommended by German friends and is well worth visiting if in the area.

Kind of disappointing experience… All of the other reviews gave me really high expectations for this castle in particular. Was a let down. Had to wait 40 minutes before we could enter, arrived 6 minutes late on our time slot, so we could only view the castle for 14 minutes, all the while a guard was breathing down our neck making sure we left precisely after those 14 minutes had passed.
The castle is absolutely beautiful, but only very few rooms are open to the public. I understand why there are time slots, absolutely, but the way it is handle here is horrible, especially to other castles who orchestrated the system a whole lot better. Had as much time to explore as we wanted, and still kept to all the COVID-19 restrictions.
Again, the castle and its garden are breathtaking. There are some beautiful interior pieces, but you have 30 seconds to look at them. It’s only €5 for a ticket, so it’s worth it if you are aware that you have a very limited time to view the castle and really have to make a reservation! Also don’t forget to validate your parking ticket… We totally did (that’s our bad…)

What a beautiful experience! Wear comfy shoes as there’s a bit of a hike to go up to the entrance. To enter the rooms, they provide shoe covers to protect the original floors. Public parking is at the bottom of the hill.

Went in May 2023.
Great to see the castle, its gardens and views! So it was totally worth it!
I don't have car, but it was easy to go from Koblenz to Stolzenfeld by bus (30/30min, a trip about 15min).
The way from the streets to the castle is easy (they have pavement and stairs, with tracks as alternative), but I don't recommend for people with disability. But you can reach the castle by car.
5€ as entrance fee when I went. You can enter the castle,see its surroundings and views by yourself. You can't go into the rooms inside without a guide. When inside, you can't take pictures, and have to use the huge slippers they give to you.
What I didn't liked was the staff. The reception just gave me a panmphlet and said "go fast, the tour is starting", without explaining anything. I reached a group with a guide already explaining everything only in German. So I didn't know how anything worked (if I could walk without him, if it had english tours). In the middle of the inside tour I asked the guide about english tour, but he affirmed in a unpolite way that they don't have and that's why I received the pamphlet. Only then I saw that I could find some numbers and follow the rooms to read reaally brief explanations, shorter than what the guide provides.
In the end, really liked the castle, the gardens, the views and surroundings. Didn't like the tour inside the rooms, but still worth the visit!

Stolzenfels Castle— Originally fell into ruin over the years already, but Prussian Crown Prince Frederick William IV had the castle restored in a romantic, neo-Gothic style. This became a symbol of the Romantic Movement in Germany. From the castle, the Rhine River can also be seen.
Parking closes by 5pm, so make sure to drive out before the time or your car is locked in. You can go uphill to the castle by walk or car. But car can only enter uphill on or before 4pm.

A very romantic castle definitely worth of 4 hours of your time. The parking house in the village on the other hand is so tiny only the best drivers will get in, park and get out. Give yourself a medal when you'll leave without a scratch;-).

The palace is located on a hill which means you need to hike all the way up. If you are into steep walking/hiking and do not want to click pictures in between then you can easily reach in 15 mins. However, if you don't hike usually and would also like to click some pictures along the way then it would take around 25 mins.
The tickets to the castle are for 5 euros which can be paid either by cash or card. There the person is going to tell you to wait at the gallery for the guided tour as soon as you enter. Keep in mind that you are only able to access the interior of the castle with the guided tour as the guide has keys to the rooms otherwise the doors are locked and you can only explore the outer garden and balconies. Taking pics inside is not allowed and the tour takes around 20 to 25 mins. Do remember to ask for an English brochure at the entrance if you don't speak German so that you can read the description for the rooms in it while getting the tour.
Also there are no eating options available next/inside the castle as it is situated in between a hiking trail.

After walking a windy road leading up the mountain, you reach this fairytale castle with a gorgeous view of the river. We explored the castle and thoroughly enjoyed it. What you see in the castle isn't ancient, but still very interesting.
Parking garage is at the foot of the mountain and is easy to find and is at a reasonable price.
The substantial stronghold housing the state museum of ancient artifacts, along with special exhibitions and war memorials, is known as the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. Positioned on a mountain bearing the same name, this fortress was constructed by Prussian forces between 1817 and 1828. However, there had been a previous fortress on this site until it was demolished by the French in 1801.
Very neat fortress they have Rotating art galleries and make great use of the space with concerts in the summer and fall. Lots of historic things to see and great views there is also a restaurant and Cafe.
Plus there is a play ground on the grounds near by aswell as an observation deck to enjoy the breath taking views.

I had an amazing visit to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress recently! This historical gem offers a perfect blend of rich history and stunning views. Exploring the well-preserved fortress was like stepping back in time, and the informative displays added depth to the experience. The panoramic views of the Rhine River and Koblenz are absolutely breathtaking from the top. The well-maintained pathways and knowledgeable staff made the visit enjoyable and educational.

Ehrenbreitstein Fortress offers an unparalleled experience for history enthusiasts and sightseers alike. Situated majestically overlooking the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine rivers, the fortress provides a breathtaking panorama that alone justifies a visit. What truly sets this fortress apart, however, are its numerous exhibits housed within its galleries. These exhibits not only delve into the rich history of the castle itself but also illuminate the fascinating stories of the surrounding area. From ancient tales to modern developments, visitors are treated to a comprehensive journey through time. The journey to the fortress is an adventure in itself, thanks to the exhilarating cable car ride over the Rhine. As you ascend, the view becomes increasingly mesmerizing, offering a unique perspective of the river and its surroundings. The €19 combined price for the cable car and entry is a steal considering the unparalleled experience it offers. For those planning a visit, I highly recommend purchasing tickets online to bypass any queues at the box office. This ensures a hassle-free experience, allowing more time to immerse oneself in the fortress's wonders. Overall, Ehrenbreitstein Fortress is a must-visit destination that seamlessly blends history, adventure, and breathtaking views into an unforgettable experience.

We went there on a public holiday using the Seilbahn. The view was awesome from the sky. So I totally recommend taking the Seilbahn, especially since it’s relatively fast. The fortress has so much charm but it’s huge. Thus, some nice walking shoes would be suitable. If it rains, buy a rain cover at the ticket shop. Make sure to visit wine tasting area. They have a good variety. Also, don’t miss a chance to try on the ancient Roman costumes and jewellery. Finally, spend some time at the Gesten expo. You will enjoy the interaction with the selected games and technology.
It was a great experience.

The castle is a fantastic experience in itself, taking us back to the old Prussian times. There are sound effects from that time at numerous places along the walkway. I reached the fortress via the cable car, which, though was a good experience appeared a bit costly. Some of the rooms inside the castle contains info from the old times and overall it is a great way to spend about an hour. Most people however were focussed on the view point from where you can see the Mosel river flowing in to the Rhine.

Hands down this is the best military (and weapons platforms) museum I have ever visited. My teenage son and I came upon this place accidentally as we were traveling in the area. But this place should be a target destination for all interested in warfare and its technologies. You could charge $50 a head in Texas for this three Euro fee in Germany.
This museum is big and densely filled, with something for everyone — for your wife, who dreams of being surrounded by hundreds (over 150 years) of Gatling and massive mini-guns; for your little ones, who have always wanted to understand and touch real high explosive anti-tank rounds and shaped charges; for your eldest daughter, who wants to get up close and personal with a Focker VSTOL, HIND F attack helicopters, and cruise missiles; and for you, a floor of sniper and machine guns throughout history.
But I love this place for its inclusion of a two-man U-boat, liquid rocket and numerous gas-turbine jet engines, and real RADAR and other ISR platforms. Wow!!

Visited yesterday with my son. I expected with such a low entry fee to be in and out within an hour. We arrived just after it opened and finally left for a very late lunch There is a lot of exhibits here! My son was in his own personal heaven and even I enjoyed it despite very little interest in the subject. My only (very small) criticism would be a couple of info plaques were either positioned behind other exhibits so it involved a bit of contortionism to read and often it wasn't entirely clear which exhibit a plaque belonged to (though this is probably down to me not being a native German speaker). I would wholeheartedly recommend a visit but make sure you have the 3 euro entrance fee in coins.

The romanesque Basilika St. Kastor or Kastorkirche is a stone throw away from the KD pier, Deutsches Eck German Corner and the cable car up Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. It's the oldest church in town, dedicated in 836, with the support of king / emperor Louis the Pious (778-840).
The Kastorbrunnen / Saint Castor's Fountain was built in 1812 during Napoleon's / French invasion of Russia.

The monument, called 'Historiensaeule' in German, is a 10 metre high sculpture that tells the story of Koblenz through ten scenes from Roman time. The sculpture was made in 1992 and is located in a plaza named after Josef Gorres.

It's definitely majestic place to visit, with vast gardens on both sides of the building. Unfortunately when I came, there was nothing much to see other than the outer part and the gardens.
The Schängel Fountain in Koblenz, created by Carl Burger in 1940, commemorates the local poet Josef Cornelius. It is a popular tourist attraction and worth visiting. The fountain features a bronze boy statue and has an interesting backstory worth researching. Additionally, during the Christmas season, there are Advent markets with friendly stallholders who can speak English. The signage is clear and easy to read, and clean toilet facilities are available for a fee of 50 cents.
So very busy, but magically Christmas. Clean toilet facilities available. 50 cents to use. Easy to read signage. The stall holders for the Advent markets are friendly and most are able to speak English.

Simply the most amazing Schängel. If you are an aficionado or aficionada of enormous Schängel you shall not be disappointed by this remarkable Schängel specimen.
Please don't take this review too seriously, and do not leave your luggage unattended.

Interesting statue to see when you’re in Koblenz.
Sometimes a little bit overcrowded with tourists but if you wait a moment you can take good pictures.

A cute surprise- happened past- I was tempted by the boy’s perky face but instinctively stepped aside from the wet patch - as I snapped a photo- suddenly a spurt of water from his mouth- whoa !
We checked for a movement sensor but decided it’s probably timed. Very cute if you don’t expect it!

Tucked away in a courtyard, this is a very cute fountain. Watch out for the waterworks when then fountain sprays outside of the bowl zone!!

Designed by Carl Burger and dedicated to Koblenz poet Joseph Cornelius, the Schangel Fountain has the bronze statue of a boy spitting water, on a column with the portraits of Cornelius and Kraehmer, and the coat-of-arms of Koblenz. During the French rule in Koblenz in the 19th century, the name was used as a local variation of the French "Jean", a name for the occupiers from France and for the children, the "Schängelchen", who arose from the fraternization. The nickname remained and in 1914 Josef Cornelius wrote the Schängel song, which is still very popular today and which finally cemented the name. In 1941 the artist Carl Burger unveiled the Schängel Fountain, made of bronze and basalt, which since then has been spitting cheerfully on the town hall square. The Mayen boy Rudolf Dany served as the model.

Nothing like an interactive experience with a fountain. Even better if you get to see someone else get wet while pushing in to get a photo. Camera karma.

Xmas markets are bright and warm with good hot drinks asking about the story of the fountain is a must
The DB Museum Koblenz is a museum that contains many restored vintage trains and a gift shop. It is a must-visit for train enthusiasts and those traveling with kids. The museum has exhibits on stationary technology, such as wagons, along with historical and modern exhibits most of which can be grasped by the average visitor.
Great experience 🙌😍
They doesn't have any entry fee, but if you go on with kids train trip or other for fun you have to pay little amount.
And jumping trucks is also free for kids.
It is really kids friendly, if you are living nearby you must visit.
It have so many beautiful trains

Canot say much about it since it was closed, however I enjoyed the outside display, the immensely big machines, wheels and locomotives. I must be fun in the summer when the miniature garden trainset is running.

Being a train fanatic this place is wonderful. A nice array of electric, diesel and two steam locomotives on show along with a good display hall. Items in the shop are very reasonably priced too.

Very nice museum with lots of variety in loco's from steam to electric. The walkable terrain is pretty large! Lots of educational exhibits. You will be entertained for hours. The entrance fee is very low, but the experiences you get out of it are priceless! Also has a fun little shop.

So worth the 3 euros just to wander around and see all the old locos and coaches. There is about one of each loco, and some extras in different colours. You can get inside the locos and coaches in the shed such as a Class 118 and some coaches built in 1938 for the then govenrment, but I did want to peep into the stuff in the yard such as the restaurant and sleep cars,but alas. Even just to sit on the running board of a Kof and watch the trains go by was a nice way to spend some time. Have been back and will be back. Note: not for those that find it difficult to get about. Lots of walking over tracks and big steps. Easy free parking.
Note for those looking, you go under the rail tracks and it’s a turn up a small road schorn something str then a sharp left up to the tracks. Dropped pin
Near Schönbornsluster Str. 11-1, 56070 Koblenz, Germany

One of my favorite railway museums. You can really get up close with the trains and they don't hand-guide you through the exhibits. You are free to wander and explore, and in many cases touch and climb into the cabs of some of Germany's most storied locomotives and rail cars. The museum is run by the DB, and you will likely see many of their volunteers who are busy working and restoring equipment. If they're not too busy, they may let you into the cab of a loco not on exhibit or tell you more history or mechanical information. If you are at all interested in the bahn or its history, this is simply a must-do when in the region.
The museum costs 2-3 Euros entry and is an easy 10-minute walk from the frequently-served Koblenz-Lützel station.

Some great locomotives there and coaches from the past, some favourites like the TEE unit from the 60's and several steam loco's too, worth the 3 euro each for a bit of nostalgia.

Lovely railway museum. A must for any railway enthusiast
The Pegelhaus restaurant is a recommended choice for those looking for a seafood-themed dining experience. The meal we enjoyed consisted of the gnocchi and spirelli, both of which were very good in terms of flavour. The menu also offers other options such as beef and fish dishes. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend this establishment to others!
Just amazing. First night in Koblenz and cannot be more happy about my choice. The restaurant has breathtaking views. Food is good. Apple pie is the best I have had.

This restaurant was recommended by one of my coworkers as a great destination for good food and a perfect view of the Rhein.
The view is lovely as you would expect, however the place smells of burnt cooking oil due to the insufficient ventilation (like most old restaurants in Germany).
The seating upstairs is fine (tables for 6-8) however be prepared to sit next to someone else in case the restaurant gets crowded. This was a "warning" before we were sat by our waitress.
The presentation of the food is acceptable, but not on the fancy side.
We ordered a salmon and a burger.
The salmon was fine, while the accompanying vegetables were not prepared well. The potatoes tasted like premade ones from the shop and not like proper gourmet food.
The burger was unfortunately not edible. The meat had a foul taste, and after 2 bites, the urge to vomit was very present.
The waitress asked if she could replace it with something else, but we declined as the there was no more appetite.
We did not eat anything else and paid the full bill (~60€)
The upsetting of the stomach continued until the evening.
On the plus side, the staff is very friendly.
Our experience was not on par with the recommendations. For this price category, one would expect a much better food experience.

Neat location with a great view. Unfortunately, we waited over an hour and never received our food. Had to leave to catch a train. Would give them a second chance if I were back in town, though.

Very central location at the most touristy spot, but the food level managed to surprise me. The Flammkuchen was made with attention, the salads looked great. It was busy but the service was very attentive. Great place, much above the average

Hidden gem at the side of the river. Would never had thought that this was a restaurant if not for TripAdvisor and Google. Yay to the power of the internet. Had it not been for that, this gem would have gone undiscovered.
First off, the seating area is above the kitchen and with full glass covering the place, it is bright and cozy place that allows for a stunning view of the river and the bank across.
Secondly, going there before the lunch crowd was a plus as it allowed us the freedom to move around and take pictures as we liked.
Drinks here were a bit more pricey as compared to the other places we've eaten at, but it is to be expected. The food portion tho looking small/little, was filling and tasty.
Recommend this place for a romantic dinner or special occasion. Give this place a try if you want to just sit and admire the river in shaded comfort as boats go by.

Based on photos of the food we were expecting a fabulous dinner. It didn't turn out that way.... My wife had "sepia" (a kind of calamari) while I had mixed seafood over (I think) risotto.
The view from the dining room is probably spectacular - IF you are there during daylight. At night however all you can see is an annoying reflection of your table top due to the inclined glass surrounding most of the dining area.
Your experience here may be quite different than ours but I would advise against the sepia.

The Romanticum is a museum which takes visitors on a virtual trip through the history of the Middle Rhine Valley. It contains around 70 interactive stations that tell the story of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
Very entertaining

The museum was very small. It is interactive but not entertaining. Did not learn anything. The museum pieces that were present were of low qualitity and not convincing. In less than 20 minutes we seen it all and left with a dissatisfying feeling. It was just boring.
