Looking for a Riquewihr Hotel?
If staying in a Riquewihr hotel hasn't already crossed your mind...
It probably will at some point and I can't blame you for considering it. Riquewihr is a beautiful village, but unfortunately it's not a secret anymore.
It's not hard to understand why tour buses wait in line to park in this pretty little village!
The tour buses arrive in the morning after breakfast and they don't leave until after they've finished dinner. You will not be alone in Riquewihr.
Not in the shops...not in the restaurants...not even in the side streets.
Hi, I'm Suzele and I'm here to help you create a more interesting, one of a kind trip to Alsace France. There is a lot of useful information that you can use to plan your trip yourself... or... I can do ALL the work for you on a private tour made just for you!
Another thing to consider is how do you want to spend your vacation? Here are a few things that not so easy to find in super touristy areas. Are these things important to you?
- an authentic vacation with real local products (of a higher level of quality)
- more local traditions that are a real part of Alsace's history
- less of the plastic things not even made in Alsace
No judgement here ; )
But you will have to make a decision about what your priorities are!
Did I mention that you confronted with a very large number of tour buses in this village?
How about some equally beautiful, more tranquil villages? Not a problem for me with my backroads of the wine road tours!
So I'll leave it up to you to decide if you want to stay in a Riquewihr hotel. But I will remind you that Riquewihr isn't the only beautiful village in Alsace.
Thankfully there are many charming villages to choose from in Alsace!
Hopefully you'll find everything that you need to know about Riquewihr France…
But if you don't find what you're looking for…ask me a question about your Alsace vacation here!
Daytrips from a Riquewihr Hotel
Staying in a Riquewihr hotel means bringing a car for most people...
If you're up for a minimum of 5 miles either walking or riding a bike, you could take the train to Ribeauvillé.
And once you've checked in to your Riquewihr hotel, you'll be a short walk or bike ride from a number of pretty little wine villages.
Distances given are the approximate distances from the center of Riquewihr.
Villages with a * have a train stop or train station.
Hunawihr
2 miles/3 km
If you find yourself in Riquewihr or that area of the Wine Road in Alsace and you want to get away from the crowds, head over to Hunawihr. It's right next door to Riquewihr and it's beautiful and quiet. You'll find great wine and scenery in a quiet and peaceful setting.
Ribeauvillé
3 miles/5 km
If you've already started researching where to go in Alsace, you've probably heard of Ribeauvillé. It's a beautiful wine road village with lots of medieval buildings, restaurants, shops and wine. I think Ribeauvillé is a great place to visit, although I have no idea why it is more popular than other wine road villages that are just as beautiful. There are also three castles above Ribeauvillé that you can hike up to and back in three hours if you're interested...
Kientzheim
3 miles/5 km
Kientzheim (not Kintzheim) is a beautiful little wine road village near Kaysersberg and it's also home to the Confrerie de Saint Etienne and their Alsatian Wine museum. If you want to learn more about the history of Alsatian wine and how it was produced, you might want to stop by.
Kaysersberg
4 miles/6 km
Kaysersberg is a just as beautiful medieval wine road village as Riquewihr with the added bonus of a ruined castle only a 15 minute hike away. The photo at the very top of this webpage was taken in Kaysersberg to give you an idea. So if you want to avoid the crowds in Riquewihr, Kaysersberg might be a good choice for your Alsace vacation. And it's the birthplace of Albert Schweitzer too.
Ammerschwihr
4 miles/6 km
You'll probably pass Ammerschwihr on your way from Turckehim to Kaysersberg and you will definitely see it! It's the one with the huge tower (the Schelmenturm)... If you stop by, you'll have a choice of over 40 wine makers to choose from as you wander through the village. And for those of you who love to golf...
Bergheim
5 miles/8 km
Bergheim is a quiet little village on the Alsatian Wine Road just past Ribeauvillé. One of the most amazing things about Bergheim is how it was managed to preserve almost ALL of its medieval city walls. You can walk around the village and see them for yourself before or after trying some of the local wine and food.
Turckheim*
8 miles/12 km
Turckheim is a beautiful little village on the Alsace Wine Road with a train station! So you can drink as much as you can want... Turckheim has a particular tradition that it has continued (with only two stops) for hundreds years. The Nightwatchman makes his rounds (May 1st to Oct 31st) at 10am every night.
