In the cityscape of Basel, historical buildings from the 15th century complement each other with the most modern architecture to form an exciting, yet harmonious overall picture. The city's main landmark is the 800-year-old Basel Cathedral. Directly behind the cathedral, one can enjoy a magnificent view of the old town and the famous Mittlere Brücke (Middle Bridge) over the Rhine from the Palatinate. The Red Town Hall and the Spalentor are also not to be missed during a visit to the city. Last but not least, the approximately 40 museums of Basel are an attraction for art and culture lovers from all over Europe..
Breisach
Although large parts of the city were almost completely destroyed during the Second World War, Breisach has a variety of beautiful sights. St. Stephen's Minster, the symbol of the city, fascinates with its well-known treasures. The vivid Rhine Gate, which has been modified into a museum, convinces with the historical town history. If that doesn't convince, an extensive tour visiting romantic and historic churches will. Culture lovers come here at their expense.
Strasbourg
From the first minute, the French Strasbourg enchants with colorful half-timbered idyll, Wilhelminian splendor architecture,new trendy neighborhoods and exciting museums. Even a short visit has a long-term effect thanks to the many inspirations! In the picturesque district of La Petite France, the moment can be enjoyed perfectly with a tarte flambée, before the imposing cathedral with stained glass windows and archways invites you to travel back in time to the Gothic period. Those who are free from giddiness should definitely take the 332 steps up to the viewing platformhere to see the Vosges and the Black Forest in the distance.
Mannheim

Particularly attractive are the squares in which the city center is laid out. The city center is large with numerous shopping opportunities and enough cafes to stop .
Mainz

Rüdesheim
The picturesque town of Rüdesheim is located directly on the Rhine in Hesse and has many attractions, such as the famous Drosselgasse, where there are numerous wine bars, but also a castle and a torture museum, where medieval torture instruments and the history of the Inquisition are exhibited.

Drachenburg Castle is enthroned high up on the Drachenfels and is one of Königswinter's landmarks. The imposing building is reminiscent of a fairytale castle and provides a fantastic view over the region.
Bonn

The old town offers traditional stores and branches of large brand chains. Not far away is the cathedral Münster. Bonn is considered a university city. The botanical garden of the local university is not only used for research purposes, but is also open to visitors. The "House of History" is accessible free of charge and tells about German history..
Düsseldorf
Rhenish lifestyle between tradition and modernity - Düsseldorf inspires with diversity! Here art and culture lovers get just as enthusiastic as shopping enthusiasts, here the Media Harbor impresses with contemporary architecture as well as the historic Old Town. The old town makes Düsseldorf with more than 250 cozy pubs to the "longest bar in the world". The traditional Altbier is not the only tasty thing here! A stroll along the Königsallee, the world-famous strolling mile, is something one does not want to miss - or rather a visit to one of the numerous sympathetic flea markets?
