Welcome to Visit .com, an independant Travel guide using the "Visit" branding style adopted by more and more private Tourist Guides, marketing-savvy Hotel organisations or official Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Eltville is a town shaped by medieval heritage, wine culture, and the calm presence of the Rhine, giving it an atmosphere that feels both historic and gently refined. Its origins go back to the Middle Ages, and it is considered the oldest and largest town in the Rheingau, holding city rights since 1332.
The settlement grew around the residence of the archbishops and electors of Mainz, who used the castle here from the 14th century onward, turning Eltville into an important political and ecclesiastical center along the river.
The old town still reflects this long history: narrow lanes, timber-framed houses, patrician estates, and remnants of the medieval fortifications create a setting that feels intimate and deeply rooted in the region's past.
Castles, rose gardens, Riesling cellars and Rhine views — the essentials of a visit to the Rheingau.
