What more can one ask for in one little town? Rüdesheim am Rhein has everything that you need for a quick day-trip, or a destination to bring visitors to show them all the wonderful things that Germany has to offer. Want to go on a Rhein River cruise? Check! Want to eat at restaurants that serve great food and wine? We got you! Want narrow, cobblestone alleyways lined with half-timbers buildings that were built hundreds of years ago? Look no further than Rüdesheim am Rhein!

This town offers all of the above and more! Located across the river from Bingen am Rhein, you can wine, dine and shop to your heart’s content. Not into that kind of thing? No problem! Take the little gondolas up the hill to the Niederwald Monument and observe the natural beauty of the Rhein River Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The fastest way to get to Rüdesheim am Rhein is to take the ferry from Bingen am Rhein, which is right across the river and their ferries run every 20 minutes. You can either park your car in Bingen and take the ferry as a pedestrian, or put your car on the ferry. There is ample parking in Bingen, but not so much in Rüdesheim, so we recommend going on foot. There is plenty to see so bring your walking shoes!
