Alter Zoll
An observation terrace on the old city walls by the Rhine, with an old battery of cannons, views of the Seven Mountains and a popular beer garden beside it.
Alter Zoll is a surviving fortification from the 17th-century city defenses. The terrace still has several old cannons and faces the broad Rhine and the Beuel district across the river. On clear days you can see the Seven Mountains and Drachenfels to the south. Below is the Rhine promenade, which leads south toward the Museum Mile, or you can take a river cruise from a nearby pier to Königswinter. The beer garden is open in summer.
