Culminating at 240m, over the Rhine river, the Rhine tower is the symbol of the city. From outside, you can see at night a digital clock running along it. Going inside, you have to opportunity to go up – with a lift – to appreciate a spectacular view over the area, the most populated in Germany. It is also possible to have an (expensive) diner, or simply enjoy a drink at the bar. However, given the high price, you might prefer to wander at is feet and visit one of the nice bars or clubs in the old town, for example Ufer8, or along the promenade, on which you can find many terraces in summer.
