Alte Burg is another remarkable attraction in Koblenz. Thanks to the acquaintance with this castle, tourists will know the history of the city better and get true aesthetic pleasure. The Old Castle (literally in English) was built on the ruins of the once-existing Roman tower. It happened in 1307 by order of the Archbishop of Trier, after quite a long resistance on the part of Koblenz. At various times, the building served different purposes: after losing its defensive function, factories were based here, and then it served the city. After the reconstruction carried out after the Second World War, the castle became a city library, and since 1980 it has housed the city archives.
In addition to numerous restaurants serving German cuisine, Koblenz offers its guests a variety of interesting gastronomic restaurants. Any gourmet can choose a suitable place to stay there. … Open
