Every year villages and towns along the Rhine Valley are illuminated by a series of spectacular ‘Rhine in Flames’ Festivals, two of which we attend on these spectacular short breaks to Germany. Join us in September as we explore the Rhineland towns of Boppard and Rüdesheim, before witnessing this dazzling event. Or alternatively, join our May departure and enjoy the explosion of fireworks after a visit to the vibrant city of Cologne, to enjoy its famous sights including the magnificent Dom, the Gothic cathedral. These distinctive holidays also offers the chance to visit the charming town of Cochem, in the meandering Moselle Valley.

We begin our included excursion through the beautiful Rhine Valley with a visit to Boppard, with its splendid Rhine Promenade. We continue to Rüdesheim, home of the vibrant Drosselgasse, lined with restaurants, bars and shops. Enjoy an optional river cruise on the Rhine as it meanders its way through its vine-clad gorge past fine medieval castles on the hillsides and the Loreley Rock. Tonight, we enjoy the highlight of our tour – the Rhine In Flames spectacle. A procession of boats cruise through the dramatic valley of the Loreley, from St. Goar to St. Goarshausen along one of the most breathtaking sections of the Rhine Gorge. The night sky is transformed into a sea of light, while spectacular fireworks ignite to music echoing between the steep cliffs.
