Fodor's Expert Review Reichsburg

Cochem Castle/Palace

The 15-minute walk to this 1,000-year-old castle overlooking the town will reward you with great views of the area. English guided tours lasting 40 minutes take place daily at noon and 3 pm throughout the summer; check the website for tours during the winter months. During the first week of August, there's a medieval festival including colorful tournaments. Regular medieval banquets are available with advance booking only. These take place in German but with English translation sheets to accompany the feasting and merriment; the price includes a castle tour.
