We went to Rudesheim as a stop on a Rhine river cruise and were told about this street. It was touted as the highlight of the town. What a let down! It's just a tourist trap. Yes, the buildings are quaint but it's packed with cafes and bars. Fortunately we went in the morning and there weren't any people. I... More

The Drosselgasse in Ruedesheim is a narrow street with a zillion restaurants and souvenir shops. Sophisticated it isn't, but if you want a good value no frills meal or to absorb some Germanic atmosphere, it's a good destination. More

This is not the place I would normally head for but it has an ambiance which I find difficult to explain. Many of its shops sell high quality... More

On the last evening of our 2-day stay in Ruedesheim,when we happened to pass thru Drosselgasse,it suddely and unexpectedly started raining!
