This is the perfect staying point to visit Koln and Koblenz and other surrounding areas by train. Koblenz is great for a walk along the Rhine and to visit castles and a defence fortress. It also has good pedestrian streets and a fun park.

Advantages: All the appeal of other German Cities - old and new together Disadvantages: Can get busy on an evening driving through the town
...Koblenz - what a city. It doesn't seem to hold all the commerical appeal of the other popular German cities but as a regular visitor be assured it has.

And why is the money collected in DM?). We opted out of this, and instead caught the bus, right outside the hotel, to explore Koblenz town centre. We found another Christmas Market, with a similar range of goods, but with slightly lower prices, we thought. We did buy more here than in Cologne, but perhaps this was because we had had more time to consider what we should have bought the previous day!
I worked out what the trip would have cost us if we had travelled by car. It came to over £500, including petrol, insurance, the hotel room, meals, ferry, etc...

My impressions of this game when I saw it advertised on the internet was that it looked like a completely different type of game that I'm used to seeing for the DS.

I lived in New York City for a few years, but had little experience of its hotels until after I'd moved away. My husband and I stayed in the Library Hotel in late August of 2004 for two nights. After spending a few nights in one of its sister hotels the... more
