With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Bacharach, 19 miles away, has to offer. Stahleck Castle should be at the top of your to-do list here. Reichenstein Castle and Pfalzgrafenstein Castle are excellent attractions too. Don’t miss Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler either! Just 25 miles away, Peace Museum - Bridge at Remagen, Kletterpark Bad Neuenahr and Koechemarkt Bad Neuenahr are essential stops here.
