Rhine/Main/Danube river cruise dock locations?
Are the locations of the docks used by river cruise boats listed
anywhere, detailed enough to find on a street map? We're doing a Uniworld Vienna to Amsterdam cruise later this year and I'm curious just where we'll be disembarking in each city. http://www.uniworld.com/trip_overvie...?Cruise_ID=515 -- Bert Hyman | St. Paul, MN | |

i have not done a cruise like this but looking at the link you sent I
am familiar with some of the cities. In Cologne the docks are just down from the famous cathedral right in the center of town. In Koblenz the docks are very close to the center of town too. Rudesheim is small and right on the Rhine so I am sure you'll be close to the city center as well. Heidelberg has the Neckar river running thru it and there are several bridges. The castle is up on the hill and the river runs right next to the old town area. Don't remember where the river is in relation to the city center in Miltenberg, Wurzburg, Bamberg, Nuremberf and Regansburg. In Passau the river runs right thru the old town. Melk and it's monestary (I think that was it) is up on the hill above the Danube. In Vienna the river is pretty far from the city old town. But as you can see it would make sense in medieval times to have the town centers close to the docks since it was and is a major conduit for goods and travel. Have a great trip, it sounds good. |

Amsterdam Usual mooring point is de Ruijterkade - 10 mins walk from Central Station http://www.amsterdam.info/print/map/b5.php Cologne Ships moor either side of the Hohenzollernbrücke (railway bridge) - around 10 mins walk to the cathedral. http://www.stadt-koeln.de/en/stadtplan/ Koblenz Normal mooring point is on the Moselle/Mosel bank adjacent to the Old Town (Peter Altmeier Ufer near Deutsches Eck) http://www.koblenz.de/stadtplan/k62_...tartseite.html and press start" Rüdesheim Series of landing stages very close to the town - again, about 10 - 15 minutes walk. http://www.rheingauer-weinmuseum.de/.../stadtplan.htm At the bottom right is an arrow pointing to "Rhein-Anlagen" which is where the ships moor. Heidelberg Haven't cruised the Main, but IIRC there are fairly central landing stages. http://www.heidelberg-guide.de/stadtplan/ Miltenberg Haven't cruised the Main, but IIRC the landing stage is fairly close to the town centre. Würzburg Sorry, don't know www.wuerzburg.de/tourismus (click on "Stadplan") Bamberg Sorry, don't know http://www.bamberg.info/www_tks/homeen_268_89_7_f.htm (click on "city map") Nuremberg Sorry, don't know Regensburg 10 -15 mins walk from the Old Town http://www.regensburg.de/tourismus/i...sh/index.shtml (go into English section and it will show a zoomable city map) Passau Sorry, don't know Melk Sorry, don't know, but IIRC it's fairly close. Vienna Sorry, don't know. Keith, Bristol, UK DE-MUNG for email replies |

As I recall Miltenburg is a tiny village right on the river. We visited
a few times when living in Aschaffenburg, just north. You'll get a good view of the Schloss in Aschaffenburg as you float by.
