Things to do in Rhine River

Throughout the millennia different cultures and cities have grown on its sides, making today its shores one of the most populous urban areas of the world, centers of culture and finance.

It's middle section, with wild nature along it's numerous bends, and the Ruhrgebiet, with many major German cities famous for their cathedrals, architecture and the UNESCO world heritage sites. The lower section in Holland, renown for windmills and tulips. The delta, visited for its natural beauty and the "polders", the lands reclaimed from the sea.
