Tips

If you wish to extend your stay, consider adding a day trip to the nearby wine region of Rheingau for vineyard tours and tasting. To shorten the itinerary, skip the day trip to Heidelberg and replace the spa afternoon with a relaxed river cruise, which still offers a romantic experience while saving time and a few hundred euros.
