With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Traben-Trarbach, 17 miles away, has to offer. Landshut Castle, Buddha Museum and Traben-Trarbach Icon Center alone justify the drive out here. Don’t forget about Andernach either! Just 19 miles away, Laacher See, Namedyer Werth and Neuwied Castle are must-sees here.
