There is probably no more popular or instructive day trip for tourists in Europe than 

 Aat down the Rhine on one of the excursion steamers. The ancient castles, relics of 

 medieval barbarism, the terraced vineyards, the wooded slopes and green meadows, and the 

 busy towns form one of the most charming and varied panoramas of the Old World.
