Cochem Old Town & Moselle Promenade
Altstadt Cochem
Colorful half-timbered houses surround the market square, with a baroque town hall and medieval city gates. The riverside promenade is the starting point for boat trips.
Cochem's old town is small and centres on the market square. Around it stand half-timbered houses from the 17th and 18th centuries, the 1739 baroque town hall and St. Martin's Fountain. Narrow lanes lead to medieval gates such as the Enderttor and the Balduin Gate. Along the riverside promenade, several Moselle boats dock. A trip to Beilstein takes about an hour, or you can take a short river cruise. The old town is full of taverns and wine-tasting rooms, where you can try Riesling white wine and flammkuchen (tarte flambée). The wine festival at the end of August and the Christmas market in November and December are especially lively. During peak season, daytime crowds are large, so consider staying overnight to enjoy the quiet evenings.
