Schloss Stolzenfels
Best time to visit
Visit on a weekday morning in spring or autumn for the best light on the Rhine and thinner crowds. Summer weekends can get packed with tour groups, so an early arrival helps you beat the bus loads.
Budget tips
Entry is around 5 euros for adults, and free for under-18s, making it a bargain for families. A Rheinland-Pfalz state museum pass or the Koblenz tourist card can knock the price down further, and the gardens are completely free to roam.

About
Quick facts: Perched high above the Rhine, this neo-Gothic riverside castle was a gift from Prussia's crown prince to his sister-in-law. Its 60 rooms mix medieval revival architecture with 19th-century comfort, and the view across the confluence of two major rivers is a huge draw.
Highlights: Queen Victoria once spent three days here in 1845 when she was just 26, and the castle was essentially dressed up just for her royal visit. The private royal apartments still hold the original furniture from that era, down to the gilded chairs she sat on.
