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. From the shopping areas to the parks, to the promenade on the Rhine with the boats in summer and all the cafes, overshadowed by the Erbenstein fortress magnificent in the fading sunlight to the brilliant Deutsches Ecke. Sat and enjoyed the atmosphere of the World Cup in 2006 in 'fan fest' and the party afterwards as Germany won Sweden. The whole town came alive - so did the shops.
Koblenz has a history all of its own and shares the geographical interest of being where the Rhine and Moselle meet - at the Deutsches Ecke guarded by the Kaiser. The sheer size of the monument makes it hard to imagine how severe flooding almost submerged him some years ago.
From Koblenz railway station you can travel across Germany into Austria and has just completed full refurbishment which makes it more accessible.
Culture and Society are brilliant in Koblenz and well worth a visit.

I'm afraid you really need a bit more detail for higher ratings - for example - why do you say it "can be a bit hairy at night" - let us know and happy to re-rate!
