Day One

Home, via Cologne to Koblenz and further to Frankfurt Am Main

This route awaits you with the promise of breathtaking views of the Rhine Valley. The journey of 139 km takes an average of 1 hour 40 minutes. If you wish to make a stop in the pretty town of Koblenz on the way, that is an option as well. From the window of your train, enjoy views of the Rhine flanked by steep cliffs and with ships bobbing in the horizon. The route is punctuated with picture-postcard towns and hills crowned by ancient castles, making it one of the most romantic train rides in the country. When traveling from Cologne to

Mainz, grab a seat on the left side of the train for the best views (and on the right side if you are traveling from Mainz to Cologne). [1]
