Overview
Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler combines two distinct personalities: the refined spa town of Bad Neuenahr with its thermal baths and casino, and the medieval old town of Ahrweiler with its historic city gates. The town sits in the heart of the Ahr Valley, one of Germany's most celebrated red wine regions, with vineyards blanketing the slate hillsides.
