Explore Cochem at your own pace with a self-guided walking tour on your smartphone, no app needed. An audio guide tells the stories behind Reichsburg Cochem, the hilltop castle that French troops burned in 1689 and that was rebuilt in Neo-Gothic style in the 1870s, and leads you past the town gates, the Moselle promenade, the market square and more. Short quizzes at every stop keep the walk playful. The route is about 1 km and takes around 1.5 hours, and you can pause whenever you like. A free eSIM data package is available to keep you connected. There is no physical guide, everything you need is on your phone.

Everyone assumes Koblenz’s giant riverside statue is named for the emperor. It isn’t. The name is centuries older, and the Teutonic monks’ story only gets stranger at this river confluence. Then there is the French official who carved his emperor's coming victory over Russia into a fountain, before that campaign became one of history's great disasters. When the Russian commander read the boast, he quietly signed his own reply underneath. This self-guided walking tour, led by a downloadable audio app, takes you past that fountain and 20-plus more Koblenz stops, including a fortress no army ever beat in battle was blown up by its own defenders, and a mechanical face that has stuck its tongue out at pedestrians for centuries. No set start time, no group to keep up with, just download the app, follow the map at your own pace, and stop for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine whenever the mood strikes. Over 25,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours, backed by a full refund guarantee.
