Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Boppard
- Arrival by train: Boppard is on the left bank of the Rhine line; the station is within walking distance of the market square.
- Warm, weatherproof clothing and sturdy shoes are recommended, as the market is outdoors and late autumn can be cold and wet.
- Book accommodation in the old town or with Rhine views early, as the region is popular during Advent.
- Use car parks on the edge of the old town; the market square itself is closed to traffic during the market.
- Don’t miss the Light Magic opening and visit the winter forest and toboggan run especially with children.
