The best area to stay in Riesburg is within the historic Old Town (Altstadt) for its central location and access to Riesburg Castle.The Old Town is the heart of Riesburg, located around the base of the imposing Riesburg Castle. It's a compact and pedestrian-friendly area, characterised by cobblestone streets, traditional half-timbered houses, and charming squares. The main market square, Marktplatz, is a key landmark, often hosting local markets and surrounded by cafes and shops.Couples will find the Old Town particularly appealing. Its romantic setting, with narrow alleys superb for evening strolls and a selection of excellent restaurants, makes for a memorable trip. Staying here means you're just a short walk from the castle's entrance, providing easy access to its historical grounds and panoramic views.For those seeking a quieter stay with easy access to nature, the areas just outside the Old Town walls, particularly towards the Ries Valley, offer a more relaxed atmosphere.

The best time to go to Riesburg is during the late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to early October) when the weather is pleasant and the region is particularly appealing.During late spring, the Baden region comes alive with blossoming vineyards and orchards, offering warm, sunny days great for exploring the outdoors. This period avoids the peak summer crowds and higher temperatures, making it ideal for those who enjoy hiking or cycling through the scenic countryside. The local wine festivals also begin around this time, providing a relaxed introduction to the area's culture.Early autumn is another excellent choice, especially for those interested in the grape harvest season. The vineyards are vibrant with colour, and the weather remains mild and comfortable for outdoor activities. Many towns host traditional "Weinfeste" (wine festivals), allowing visitors to sample new wines and regional specialities.
