Koblenz Self Guided Tour of Rivers and Rulers

About this activity

Everyone assumes Koblenz’s giant riverside statue is named for the emperor. It isn’t. The name is centuries older, and the Teutonic monks’ story only gets stranger at this river confluence. Then there is the French official who carved his emperor's coming victory over Russia into a fountain, before that campaign became one of history's great disasters. When the Russian commander read the boast, he quietly signed his own reply underneath.

This self-guided walking tour, led by a downloadable audio app, takes you past that fountain and 20-plus more Koblenz stops, including a fortress no army ever beat in battle was blown up by its own defenders, and a mechanical face that has stuck its tongue out at pedestrians for centuries.

No set start time, no group to keep up with, just download the app, follow the map at your own pace, and stop for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine whenever the mood strikes. Over 25,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours, backed by a full refund guarantee.
