The German city was an important station for the French garrison in the 17th century and still retains its defensive network of forts attracting many visitors to hotels in Koblenz. After the French, Russians occupied the city until the early 19th century. The fortifications are huge attractions, and the city also has a World Heritage site in the Rhine Gorge.
