Idyllic half-timbered streets, cozy wine taverns and, of course, the impressive cathedral make a visit to this historic city an experience. Due to the seat of numerous European institutions, such as the Council of Europe, the European Parliament and the European Court of Human Rights, a political wind also blows through the border city on the Rhine.

In the cathedral itself, things get exciting: you are there when the astronomical clock strikes the "full" hour and different figures breathe life into the clock. After the tour of the cathedral there will be some free time. The bus, which is already waiting for you nearby, will then take you back to the ship.
