Itinerary

Germany

Düsseldorf

The Rhineland way of life, blending tradition and modernity—Düsseldorf captivates with its diversity! Art and culture lovers are just as enthralled here as shopping enthusiasts; the Media Harbor impresses with its contemporary architecture, as does the historic Old Town. With more than 250 cozy pubs, the Old Town makes Düsseldorf the “longest bar in the world.” And it’s not just the traditional Altbier that tastes great there! Don’t miss a stroll down Königsallee, the world-famous shopping boulevard—or perhaps you’d prefer a visit to one of the many charming flea markets? And right in the middle of it all: plenty of green space and the Rhine with its riverside promenade, perfect for taking a deep breath. No wonder the VIVA family feels right at home here!

Germany

Koblenz

Koblenz captivates visitors with its unique location at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers. The first stop on any visit to the city should therefore be the so-called “Deutsches Eck” with its imposing Kaiser Wilhelm Monument. Since 2002, it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Upper Middle Rhine Valley.” A visit to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress offers a beautiful view of Koblenz and its two rivers. Perched 120 meters above the Rhine, this 16th-century fortification is the second-largest surviving fortress in Europe. Even the ride up in a cable car gondola is spectacular.

Germany

Königswinter

Located on the eastern bank of the Rhine, the city of Königswinter is in North Rhine-Westphalia. Numerous historic landmarks and museums worth seeing make a visit to the city an unforgettable experience. For example, the Siebengebirge Museum provides in-depth information about the legendary mountain landscape, which is, after all, Germany’s oldest nature reserve. At Sea Life, visitors can experience the underwater world up close, and the Nibelungenhalle is not only an architectural masterpiece but also home to a reptile zoo. Drachenburg Castle sits high atop the Drachenfels and is one of Königswinter’s landmarks. The imposing structure resembles a fairy-tale castle and offers a breathtaking view of the region.

Germany

Cologne

Cologne is a city with independent municipal status in North Rhine-Westphalia and is one of the few cities in the Federal Republic of Germany with a population of over one million. Cologne Cathedral is the city’s landmark, located directly on the banks of the Rhine and next to the main train station. A cable car crosses the Rhine, offering a fantastic view of the city. The local zoo and the stadium are real attractions for young and old alike. Carnival is an important part of life here and is just as much a part of the city’s character as a traditional brewery.
