2 Best Performing Arts in The Pfalz and Rhine Terrace, Germany

Burgruine Landskron

During the Oppenheim Festival, from the end of August till the end of September, concerts are held at St. Catherine's, and open-air theater takes place in the Burgruine Landskron, the 12th-century imperial fortress ruins. From here, there's a wonderful view of the town and the vineyards, extending all the way to Mannheim and Frankfurt on a clear day. The castle ruins are northwest of the church. Follow Dalbergerstrasse north; from there it's a short, steep walk up to the ruins. For tickets to the open-air theater performances contact the Oppenheim tourist office.
