Preparing your trip to Koblenz: advices & hints - things to do and to obey

Koblenz Container Ship 1. Tourists are advised to go shopping only with national currency, the other won’t be accepted in shops and markets or would be changed at a very disadvantageous exchange rate. In the markets bargaining is assumed, but slowing down the price by a substantial amount is unlikely - the discount will be no more than 10%.
2. Banks and other government agencies are working on weekdays, from 8:00 - 8:30 am to 5:00 – 6:00 pm. During the day, small lunch break is possible. Some large banks can operate on Saturdays, but the time will be reduced significantly.
3. Almost all major shopping centers, restaurants and hotels accept service payment with credit cards. They deal with cards of international standard. Large amounts of cash are necessary to those only, who hope to make purchases in markets or in small retail pavilions.
4. You can exchange money not only in banks and private exchange offices, but also in the department of the General Post Office. It operates seven days a week and around the clock, but the exchange rate at the post office is not the most profitable.
5. The main form of public transport is bus. Buses cruise the city from 5:00 am to 11:00 - 12:00 pm. Tickets can be purchased in any newspaper stand or tobacco shop. Budget travelers should buy a ticket for a few days or weeks, it will save considerably. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
6. There are lots of car rental points in the city; for paperwork customers will need a copy of the passport, a world-class driving license and a credit card with the desired amount of deposit in the account.
7. The most common type of telephone service for travelers are special phone booths located near shopping centers and government agencies. They accept plastic cards that are sold at all post offices, bars and newsagents.
8. Mains voltage is 220 V, all hotels are equipped with standard European socket. Before the trip, be sure to check for compatibility of all electrical appliances and chargers that you plan to take.
9. In restaurants and cafes tipping is required, 10% of the order would be sufficient. A small cash reward will also be appropriate to leave for the maid at the hotel and for the taxi driver.

What to visit being in Koblenz - unique sights

Cochem Town

From the series “Small Flamboyant Towns Painted with Van Gogh Colors”
Another recognizable symbol of the old town is a number of nice half-timbered houses. Today, many of these buildings house mall hotels, shops, and local restaurants. The most beautiful houses are concentrated around the central square of Cochem. Tourists can combine walking around the town with exploring the enchanting valley of wine. Tours along the ancient vineyard are very informative and are always accompanied by a tasting the best local wines. … Read further

Burg Rheinstein

From the series “Gothic Architecture – Magnificent Monuments”
The castle owes much of its current impeccable appearance and status as an important cultural center to the opera singer Hermann Hecher. The old castle was reconstructed and turned into a real cultural treasure under his leadership in 1975. Its visitors can see a lot of valuable historical and artistic exhibits today. This managed to completely recreate the setting of the old kitchen in the castle in 2006. A collection of old kitchen utensils is kept in it today. Not only daytime but also very exciting night excursions are held for tourists in the castle of Reinstein. A wonderful cafe opened on the territory of the castle not so long ago. … Read further
