Description

LEGENDS OF THE RHINE

Undeniably one of Central Europe’s most striking rivers, the Rhine begins its journey in Switzerland’s Lake Constance, flows through the charming French city of Strasbourg, and reaches its most breathtaking scenery in Germany. Along its banks and cliffs, you'll find castles, ancient ruins, and towers with shadowy, slender windows that seem to watch you with the weight of centuries past. Discover with us the true gems hidden along the course of the majestic Rhine River.
