LEGENDARY RHINE - 6
nights
Few other regions around the world
are so densely packed with authentic historical attractions. The Rhine
Valley, and the region between Düsseldorf and Mainz in particular, is widely
regarded as one of the most beautiful destinations in Europe. You'll find
impressive scenery all over the world. However, the Middle Rhine has a
particularly melodramatic panorama that has provided the setting for stories
of human passion and suffering, and we're not just talking about music,
poetry and painting, but also real life.
