Summer, stage, Rhine

From an ornamental garden of 1930, the Tanzbrunnen grew into a large event venue. Today it hosts open-air concerts, festivals and family events; the Theater am Tanzbrunnen and the Rheinterrassen round out the programme. With the neighbouring beach club and the panorama across the Rhine, the Tanzbrunnen is a popular meeting place in summer.
