Frequently Asked Questions
On the Rheinallee, the long plane-tree esplanade running along the bank, almost in the centre. The gangway lands directly on the promenade, and the old town begins two or three minutes away.
No. Everything that matters on this call sits within a fifteen-minute walk. It is one of those Romantic Rhine stops where the time ashore passes with no transport and no timetable to watch.
The Four Lakes View, a lookout on the heights above town. The Rhine makes its largest loop at Boppard, a horseshoe so pronounced that from above the meanders, cut off by the hills, look like four separate lakes. It is the most famous optical illusion in the valley.
By a chairlift of another era, running since 1954, which climbs over the vineyards in about twenty minutes: open chairs, feet dangling, the panorama widening at every pylon. The lower station is about fifteen minutes' walk from the quay along the bank. Allow roughly two hours for the full round trip.
Worth knowing before you board: these are open chairs with no cabin, feet hanging free for some twenty minutes. Anyone prone to vertigo, or who walks with difficulty, would do better to stick to the promenade and the old town, which already justify the stop.
Far more than you would expect. Boppard was Bodobrica in Roman times, and whole stretches of the 4th-century walls, among the best preserved in Germany, still stand between the houses, several metres high in places. The outline of the military camp can still be read in the street plan, and an archaeological trail helps piece it together.
Cafés, shops and the Church of St Severus, whose twin spires serve as a landmark from the river. The late Romanesque interior holds medieval frescoes and painted vaults that surprise anyone who pushes the heavy door out of curiosity.
Yes. The local vineyards cling to the slopes of the great loop and produce a Riesling that the town's wine bars serve by the glass. The lanes around the square, lined with half-timbered houses, also hide winegrowers' courtyards.
Promenade and old town: two or three minutes from the ship, about an hour on site. Roman walls and the Marktplatz: five to ten minutes on foot, about forty-five minutes. Chairlift and Vierseenblick: fifteen minutes' walk to the station, about two hours in all.
The euro and German. Cards work in the restaurants and hotels along the Rheinallee, but bring cash for the chairlift, the ice cream stands and the small wine bars. English is understood on the promenade and in tourist shops.
