View Cruise DealSpeyer, a historic city in Germany's Rhineland-Palatinate region, boasts a rich heritage spanning millennia. Its star attraction, the UNESCO-listed Speyer Cathedral, is a marvel of medieval architecture. The city's charming streets, cultural festivities and scenic riverfront complete the tapestry of Speyer's allure, blending the past and present harmoniously.
Speyer’s most iconic landmark, the Speyer Cathedral, is a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture and one of Germany's most important cathedrals. It has earned a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List and a cruise to Speyer would be incomplete without exploring this historic gem. The Speyer Cathedral's origins date back to the 11th century when it was commissioned by Emperor Conrad II. Its monumental scale and intricate design are a testament to the grandeur of the Holy Roman Empire. As you approach the cathedral, you'll be struck by the imposing façade, adorned with detailed sculptures and Romanesque arches.
Just a short distance from the Speyer Cathedral, you'll find the Technik Museum Speyer, a captivating destination for those interested in history, technology and aviation. This impressive museum showcases an extensive collection of vintage aircraft, automobiles, locomotives and maritime vessels. The highlight of the museum is the IMAX DOME cinema, where you can enjoy immersive films on a massive curved screen. The museum's exhibition halls feature a wide range of artefacts, including historic aircraft like the Boeing 747, a U-boat and a diverse array of classic cars and motorcycles.
After immersing yourself in history and technology, take a leisurely stroll along the picturesque Rhine Promenade. This idyllic riverside walk offers serene views of the Rhine River and the surrounding landscape, providing a perfect opportunity to unwind and appreciate Speyer's natural beauty. The Rhine Promenade is adorned with lush greenery, charming benches and inviting spaces for relaxation. It's a popular spot for both locals and tourists to enjoy a peaceful walk or a picnic while gazing at the passing river traffic.
