Rüdesheim am Rhein Things to Do Tips by shrimp56 Top 5 Page for this destination

Walk the Drosselgasse and travel through history

Drosselgasse will be full of tourists, but for some reason even on an August Saturday it was bearable. You will see restaurants and stores full of kitsch, but you are here for the old buildings and their varied decorative delights!

Address: Drosselgasse, Rudesheim

Directions: You'll know when to turn left off of Rhienstr. Just keep looking left until you see the old street!

A wine museum in a castle!

One of the first things that you will see as you walk from the train station to the center of town is the Broemser Castle that contains The Rheingau Wine Museum. It is well worth a visit both for the castle [one of the oldest in the Middle Rhine] and the information on the region's wine. There is a winebar inside also that is only open on Saturdays and Sundays from March to end of October!

Address: Rheinstr. 2

Directions: On the main street between the center of town and the train station.

Enjoy the vineyards in town!

The vineyards reach right into Rudesheim and provide encouragement for sampling the local wine. You also have a great view of them from the Seilbahn [see transportation tips for more information].

The wine produced is both red and white, both enjoying the terroir of the mineral rich soil.

Address: Just off Rheinstr.
