Getting ashore
River ships berth near Wiesbaden on the Rhine, and taxis and trams run to the centre. The berth depends on the water level.
Watch-outs
Wiesbaden is a spa city with a relaxed pace. Shops close early on Sundays, and river levels can change the berth.
Kurhaus and the spa
The Kurhaus is a grand Art Nouveau casino and spa building, and the hot springs of the Kochbrunnen are the city’s signature.
Rheingau wine region
The Rheingau is across the river, with vineyards, cellar doors and the Riesling wines. Boat trips and tours visit the villages.
Mainz and Frankfurt
