The town has many beautiful and well-maintained buildings, churches, castles and monuments and a large pedestrian centre with a good variety of shops. (B,D)
 
Included Excursions
Full Day: Ahr Valley Train

An experience that will live long in the memory, today offers the chance to ride on the privatelyowned narrow gauge railway that descends from Engeln in the Eiffel Mountains down the Brohl Valley. From Brohl we visit the riverside resort of Linz am Rhein, an attractive town with colourful half timbered houses.
