FIVE ELEMENTARY THINGS TO DO

Frankfurt is the perfect basecamp to explore the heartland of "Good Old Germany" where kings were crowned, famous battles fought and European history written - within daytrip range you find the sites that witnessed the past.
We help you to explore these destinations, be it as a daytrip or on the way to your next destination.

1.) Rhine valley

"…the Valley is the very definition of the romantic Rhineland itself, based on its vineyard-laden inclines, its compacted settlements squeezed along the River’s narrow banks, and its castles on the high cliffs which form a pearl-like chain." (UNESCO world heritage recognition) starting point: BINGEN, 1h by train.

2.) Heidelberg

Having been a student’s town for centuries, excellent pubs and lively student atmosphere await you in its beautiful old town by the Neckar River. Don’t miss the Huge Keg (220.000 ltr!) in the partly ruined, yet still very impressive Castle. 1h by train.

3.) Würzburg & The Romantic Road

Würzburg - the capital of Lower Franconia - is located at both sides of the river Main, overtopped by the Marienberg Fortress. It is the center of the Franconian wine region in Germany as well as the starting point of the famous Romantic Road, an old trade route that leads through picturesque landscapes and medieval places like Rothenburg ob der Tauber down to Neu Schwanstein Castle. The Residence Palace of the Bishops was declared world heritage in 1981. 1h by train.

4.) Mainz

Mainz is famous as the city where Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press and offers a number of interesting sights due to its Roman 2000 year heritage and a beautiful old town. Mainz is at its best when it comes to festivals:
Some 39 of them per year exclusive of the various wine festivals and the spectacular 5th Season (Carnival) which kicks off in November make Mainz a must if you want to see how the locals can party. 30 min. train.

5.) The City itself

... invites you to chill on the riverbanks of the Main with the botanical garden and explore its incredible rich art & cultural life.
The Museums Riverbank is packed with famous museums on architecture, film, history and unique art collections of all epochs.

Don’t miss a night out in the Sachsenhausen pub quarter with its narrow streets and wooden houses, where traditional food and 'Äppelwoi' (apple wine) is served!
