Riquewihr

The hotels in and around Riquewihr are as varied as the wine. The hotels inside the old city walls are typically old, and typical old European buildings small sized, old, tilting, and original. However, the hotels outside the city walls are more modern, and newer. The price seems to be similar where ever you stay, however the town restaurants, and gift shops are inside the old city walls. If you stay outside the walls, in a modern hotel, you will have to walk uphill a distance of approximately 1000 feet, or 300 meters to get back to a selection of food and shops. The old city has cobblestones everywhere. If you are unsteady on your feet, this will be a chore to walk on. The whole city slopes downward from the west end the old end toward the east the new end.
