Moselle Holiday Markets (2028)
The serenity of the Moselle region is a delight at any time of year, lending the advent season here a compellingly local feel.The serenity of the Moselle region is a delight at any time of year, lending the advent season here a compellingly local feel. Explore small towns brimming with charm, medieval castles, colorfully painted half-timbers, and winter festivities—and if the weather is right, you may just be lucky enough to see those colorful homes and Christmas lights pop under a blanket of white snow. At either end of this journey, bigger cities offer a dynamic study in contrasts. The distinctly 21st-century city of Düsseldorf and the ancient Roman city of Trier bookend the series of quiet, medieval villages you’ll visit in between.

- Koblenz Walking Tour with Christmas Market
Watch the waters of the Moselle gush into the Rhine as you stand on the spit of land called German Corner. It’s an appropriate spot for a symbol of German unity: an equestrian statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I, erected in honor of German unification in 1871. Behind it is Koblenz’s oldest church, St. Castor’s Basilica, originally built in the ninth century and the first of the charming churches and squares you’ll encounter as you wander through Old Town. Like many Rhineland towns, Koblenz suffered at the hands of French forces under Louis XIV—that’s why you’ll see so many baroque features in the buildings you pass, since so many needed to be rebuilt after the French left. That’s also why the Church of Our Lady has twin onion domes. Originally built in the Middle Ages on the highest point in Koblenz, the lovely church that stands in this spot now mostly dates to the early 1700s. Following your tour, delve into the Koblenz Christmas Market, which spills from square to square, with stalls full of unique Rhine Valley handicrafts, baked goods, and wines. Be sure to check out the Advent calendar in the baroque town hall’s windows.
Please note that on or after Christmas Eve, the Christmas Market will likely have ended its season and not be part of this tour.
