Speyer
Speyer 09/01/2026
Speyer—“spire” in English—is well named, since the four red towers of the Romanesque cathedral dominate the Old Town. It’s the largest of its kind in the world and an icon of Speyer’s characteristic beauty. The city also sits a little ways off the Pfalz wine route, where many of the country’s best wine grapes are cultivated.

Bernkastel 09/04/2026
Bernkastel sits peacefully in the Moselle Valley and is as romantic and picture-perfect as it gets.
