Traversing the Altiplano, from the shores of Lake Titicaca to the bustling heart of the ancient Incan empire, the railway from Puno to Cuzco cuts a ponderous but picturesque path through the snow-dusted peaks and voluptuous valleys of the Andes, across the epic Peruvian plains, passing hardy bowler-hatted llama farmers and traveling through remote towns and villages.

From the futuristic architecture and imperial wonders of Beijing, the Z21 train transports its passengers from the neon lights of urban China across the Tibetan plateau, where it glides past grazing yaks, fluttering prayer flags, snow-capped mountains and boundless blue skies. At your destination, magenta-robed monks await.

Segueing from the sooty suburbs and crowded concrete-lined cul-de-sacs of central London to the crisp air and soaring vistas of the Scottish Highlands via one overnight train journey epitomizes the romance of rail travel. Enjoy the buffet-car banter, be lulled to sleep by the rhythm of the rails, then wake up to bedside views of towering granite peaks.

My wife and I will be staying in Frankfurt in mid Dec and are looking to spend a day going up the Rhine to see the smaller towns and various castles even if from a distance. I've found the timetables for the RB10 train which goes to/from Frankfurt HBF to Koblenz and beyond and we want to be able to use that train freely all day (jump on and off) on our way to Oberlahnstein and back to Frankfurt. I am trying to understand what train ticket I should buy...it's not clear if the RMV day pass includes the RB10 train to this distance or if I need a different ticket. Any advice on how to handle the travel? I'd also love any advice on stops to make along the way! Thank you!

In the scenic zone south of Koblenz, Oberlahnstein is on the EAST river bank. Many of the nice towns (Boppard, St. Goar Oberwesel, Bacharach) are on the WEST-bank train line. Both lines run to Koblenz. So you want a ticket that will allow you to use both railways.

The RMV zone is not enough coverage. Day Ticket for Germany will accomplish that. It's actually good for the entire country on ALL regional trains. The west-bank railway also gets you back to Frankfurt (via Bingen and Mainz.)

For the train, I would go up one side of the river and back down the other side. 

The only towns that are going to have much of anything going on would be Rdesheim (you can ride the gondola up at sunset for a gorgeous view), Koblenz, and there may be markets in a few towns on the weekend, but you need to check, other than that they are going to be very quiet. Bacharach or St. Goar may have a market.

The Quer Durch Deutschland is the ticket you want. Good on all regional trains in Germany all day long. Get on and off as often as you like. The train on the right side (Rdehseim, Lorch, Eltville, Kaub, etc) only comes by once an hour, so you will need a time table for that. The left side is a bit more frequent, but I would want to know the times so you are not sitting in the cold for 45 min.

Most towns will indeed be very quiet. But if the weather is reasonably good, you'll do well to take a walk through one or more of them just for a look at the old-world buildings. Bacharach (west bank) is a good choice for an hour's walk-around. So is Braubach (just south of Oberlahnstein,) although you should probably allow extra time there for a tour of Marksburg Castle, the very best example of a medieval castle in this area for tourists.

The more I look into it, it does seem that there won't be much to do to even pass an hour's time in many of the towns between Rdesheim and Koblenz. We'll probably just ride the train up to Koblenz and hope to see some pretty sights and spot the castles. We'll definitely stop in Rdesheim on the way back as it looks very pretty!

I will get the Quer Durch Deutschland ticket you mentioned...although I assume this means I need to ensure I plan to take only the regional trains from Frankfurt. I found RB10 and RB26 timetables and will need to connect Frankfurt/Mainz for the RB26 leg with a non-ICE train.

What day of the week will your tour take place? On Sat or Sun you can leave Frankfurt on the QdL ticket at any hour you wish. If it's a weekday, my first move would use the 9:08 RE 2 train (with stops in Bingen, Bacharach, Oberwesel and Boppard) to cruise the WEST bank. You'll reach Koblenz at 10:54 if you choose to stay on this train (a better choice than the 9:53 - 12:06 RB 10 on the east bank if time is a concern.)

From someone who's been there multiple times in all the seasons to a newcomer, I'll call it a travel mistake to go all the way to Germany and to pass through all these UNESCO-World-Heritage-site towns without setting foot in one or two of them. You do have time to stop, even on a weekday, even if only in one town.

Perhaps Rdesheim should be that town. The Christmas market is going as we speak and runs through the 23rd. And it's a great Christmas Market with a wonderful atmosphere - in a very nice town that gets visitors nearly year round. The cable car lift in Rdesheim is also running through the 23rd. The place WILL be alive and perhaps even crowded in the late afternoon and evening.

The 11:52 train from Koblenz gets you to R'heim at 12:52. So you'd have several hours in the town if you wished. Or you could take a 1-hr stopover in one of the other towns along your route beforehand, arrive an hour later in R'heim, and STILL have lots of time in R'heim.

Note the castle in Bacharach, besides being a steep climb up the hill, is not open to the public. It's a operating hostel. Nevertheless, Bacharach is a pretty little town. IMO, the view of all these towns and their castles is much better from the cruise boats than from the train which is too close to the hills to keep looking up.

True that the views are best from the river itself. But I wouldn't recommend December cruising. K-D does conduct a round-trip cruise between Rdesheim and St. Goarshausen in winter, but only on those dates when enough hardy souls have signed up in advance to meet their minimum. The K-D site has a page announcing those dates which have so far qualified... surprisingly, that page is promising a cruise on every day from Dec. 7 - Dec. 17:

Train seating for the best views: Always sit "Fahrtrichtung rechts" (on the right side of the main aisle as the train moves forward) so that you're looking across the river at the sights on the opposite bank. This would work for the suggested northbound train along the west bank (the Bacharach side) to Koblenz and also later for the suggested southbound train from Koblenz along the east bank (the Rdesheim side.)

You can purchase tickets for the VIAS regional train rides along the Rhine in advance from the RMV but there is no reason to do so - not for this stretch or any other regional train ride in Germany. Purchase does not provide you with a seat, and tickets are non-refundabule. Just buy your ticket on the day of travel.

Same advice. No seat guarantee, no refund, read conditions for use, buy on the day of travel. Regional train tickets in Germany are handled much like municipal bus tickets in the USA. You can't book in advance, you stand if there's no seat for you, etc.

We just finished up our Rhine river train tour and it was amazing!!! Thank you to everyone that provides such helpful information! I highly recommend to other travelers that might read this. We stopped in Mainz, Bacharach, Koblenz, and Rdesheim and enjoyed them all. It was a wonderful way to stretch beyond the big tourist cities and see some really impressive German culture.

As the map below shows, Frankfurt lies several miles to the EAST of the airport (Frankfurt Flughafen on the map.) Mainz lies on the Rhine river to the WEST of Frankfurt Airport, significantly closer to Bacharach.

1) Mainz is a nice place with a handsome old town zone and lots to see and do; it requires more than just a quickie stop. Overnighting here makes very good sense. When you stay there, you'll also have more stopover time (or perhaps cruise time in warmer months) during your train outing.

2) A Mainz base shortens and simplifies the train loop. Mainz has frequent departures to the Bacharach stop, including DIRECT RB trains every hour (trip takes 45 minutes) and DIRECT RE trains every 2 hours (trip takes only 30 minutes.) From Frankfurt proper to Bacharach, you must backtrack; the RE trains require 70 minutes to Bacharach, while the RB train trips force you to make train transfers and require 90 minutes to Bacharach.

I'm hoping someone can help me learn which is the best app to use when viewing and booking England train tickets ? Some seem to allow booking earlier than others. I'm guessing some trainlines put their advance tickets on sale sooner than others. But none of the apps I've tried tell you any of the those advance date specifics. So is there one of these aggregators that does it better than the rest? Trainline seems like an easy one to use but I know there are several more. Thanks

Dale - Thanks for the reply. One of the confusing aspects for me is that the NationalRail site won't allow me to see any ticket options after June 7th. However the Trainline site would allow me to buy a ticket already for an August trip. I'm assuming that Transpennine (who these tickets are for) must release their advance tickets earlier than other lines? The app also allows you to download e-tickets which is a really nice option. Do all of the lines allow e-ticketing now or is that a Trainline value ad? Thanks again.

For times and tickets definitely use This automatically jumps you to the correct rail company site depending on which route you are travelling.

7th June is still a long way off, not surprised tickets are not yet available. To quote the incomparable "Man in Seat 61":

Europeans use trains to go shopping, attend business meetings or visit Granny, everyday activities that are usually planned only days or weeks ahead, not 6 months. For example, 90% of all UK train tickets are bought less than a month before travel. 152ee80cbc
