Highlights

"For traditional Frankfurt food, head to Sachsenhausen where there are plenty of great restaurants that serve Schnitzel mit Grünesoße with Ebbelwoi (also known as Appfelwei) the traditional Hessische drink. It is like a bitter cider!"

Museumsufer

Covering all bases from film and architecture to fine art and ancient history, a trip to this dazzling array of museums and galleries is essential. The riverbank comes alive at the end of August for the Museumsuferfest (museum festival) and it’s a real spectacle.

Kleinmarkthalle

This pop-up weekend street market serves tasty bites, plenty of wine and always delivers on atmosphere. Not to be missed.

Ebbelwoi

Drink like a local at ancient Ebbelwoi (apple wine) taverns. This local tipple has an acquired taste but believe us, it’s not to be missed. Head across the river to taverns in Sachsenhausen for the most traditional experience.

Yachtklub

Frankfurt’s jewel in the crown, this repurposed boat on the River Main is the perfect golden hour spot. Spring and Summer nights at Yachtklub offer guaranteed good vibes and gorgeous city views. Stay late to see the club come alive.

Overall
Public Transport

Train, bus and tram networks offer great coverage across the city, and overall it’s a very smoothly connected place. Get your travel card sorted and watch out for ticket inspectors. Head to smaller cities like Wiesbaden and Mainz to get out of the city, or Heidelberg for a day trip to a nearby student town. People generally feel safe in Frankfurt and transport should never be an issue for visitors.
