Perfect Holidays in Rudesheim am Rhein

Rudesheim am Rhein is great for all the family. The spectrum of festivals, the buildings to explore and the delicious restaurants to sample, Rudesheim is perfect for you and your children alike.

• Traditional German pub food can be found in Rudesheim. Recommended is the downstairs pub Riesling-Stuben (Oberstrasse 24), a quiet and cool haven away from the bustle of the town, where you can taste the local wine and the children can have a simple but hearty German meal.
• The Rhine in Flammen festival in July, where, annually, firework displays are carried out on five points along the river Rhine. If you can, get a spot on one of the illuminated ships which sail down the river in the evening, and you can see the display not just in Rudesheim, but at the five other locations as well.
