Rüdesheim am Rhein Things to Do

The Oberstrasse is a very long road with lots of interesting shops and half-timbered house's. I quite enjoyed walking along this street. You must look up to see the old fashioned sign's, and I also...

The best place for excellent panoramic view's of Rudesheim and area, is from the Niederwald Monument. There is a big paved lookout infront of the monument, and viewing Telescope. On a beautiful day...
