Golden moments in Rhineland-Palatinate

Romantic castles, hospitable people and excellent wine characterise Rhineland-Palatinate as a travel destination. Located in south-western Germany, the federal state delights visitors with an extraordinary density of scenic, cultural and culinary experiences. Between the Rhine, Moselle and Palatinate Forest, renowned wine regions, varied low mountain ranges, lively towns and a rich cultural heritage come together.

The regions of the Ahr valley, Eifel, Hunsrück-Nahe, Lahn, Moselle, Palatinate, Rhine-Hesse, Middle Rhine and Westerwald offer a wide variety of themes: from vast vineyards and volcanic landscapes to green forests and historic townscapes. With the wine-growing regions of Ahr, Middle Rhine, Moselle, Nahe, Palatinate and Rhine-Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate is considered one of the most important wine-producing regions in Europe. Wine and culinary experiences are closely linked to the regional culture and way of life here.

Rhineland-Palatinate also offers ideal conditions for nature and active holidays. Excellent cycling and hiking trails, including certified long-distance hiking trails and numerous circular and short tours, lead through low mountain ranges such as the Eifel, Hunsrück and Westerwald or along impressive river valleys. The offer is complemented by wellness and relaxation opportunities with excellent hosts in natural surroundings.

Over 2,000 years of history can still be experienced in Rhineland-Palatinate today. UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Roman buildings, castles and palaces, as well as cities such as Mainz, Trier, Koblenz, Speyer, Worms and Idar-Oberstein combine history, the present and cultural diversity and can be ideally combined with offers in the surrounding area.

As the official state marketing organisation, Rheinland-Pfalz Tourismus GmbH prepares these themes and regional specialities as part of its business areas and annual campaigns and makes them visible to the international travel industry.
