First impressions…
- Another old, beautiful river town
- Limited connectivity (not necessarily a bad thing; we found a bakery with free WiFi – Eibinger Backhaus Dries)
- Very crowded Christmas market on the weekend (we’ll go during the week next time)
Don’t miss…
- Pension Post Rudesheim – we won’t stay anywhere else
- Ski lift to the statue and park at the top – beautiful view (we walked up and took the lift down – it took us an hour of walking to get to the top)
Next time…
- Explore more of the town
- Visit markets in some of the nearby towns
If you drive…
- Stay at Pension Post Rudesheim – contact Herr Lauter in advance about parking
- There is no bridge. Depending on where you’re driving from, you may have to take the ferry across the Rhine.
- Look for the public parking lot just west of the Christmas market area. Park there and walk to the hotel for help with parking.
